Chapter 11: Neverland
Once the group got onboard, Sora said, "I think that our magic is as good as Donald's now."
Donald then said, "No way! Not in a million years."
Goofy then said, "Why don't you guys go see Merlin? Work more on your magic."
Then, the gang then headed for Traverse Town, once they docked and entered the First District, Takato looked around and saw Ai and Mako playing with Impmon, Takato approached the trio and said, "Hey guys!"
The three looked up and Impmon said, "Yo, Goggle's, good ta see ya, you have really been comin' hea' a lot, ya know? So, whatchya doin' hea now?"
Takato then said, "Oh, you know, just thought that we'd drop by, make sure the gang is staying safe."
Rika nodded then said, "That, and we want to see Merlin, and ask him how it is we're doing in our magic skills."
Ai then said, "Well, you should know, since your last visit, Jeri's becoming more and more stronger with her magic, she's even been fighting off any shadows that come by."
Mako nodded and said, "Yeah, she's gotten incredible with her magic."
Takato smiled and said, "That's good to hear. Well, we'll see you guys later."
Ai and Mako said, "Bye Takato, bye Rika!"
Impmon then said, "Later Goggle's!"
Takato waved his hand, then the group headed for the Third District, once there, Sora and crew entered the flame emblemed door, and after crossing the lake, they made inside, then Sora talked to Merlin, and Sora asked, "Hey, Merlin! How are we doing in our magic skills?"
Merlin looked at the group, then stroked his beard, then said, "Your making excellent progress. Here's something for your effort."
***Obtained Spellbinder***
Merlin then said, "Keep it up."
Takato then said, "Well, what shall we do now?"
Then everyone heard a voice call out, "Hey, Takato, Rika!"
Everyone turned around and saw Jeri running up to them, and Calamon not to far from her. Takato then said, "Hey, Jeri! How've you been? Calamon, you staying out of trouble?"
Jeri said, "I'm doing fine. Merlin's been a real help to me. He said that I might actually become a grate sorceress one day."
Takato smiled and said, "That's great to hear, Jeri!"
Rika nodded and said, "Yeah, and who knows, one day, you might be joining us on an adventurer, be a hero again."
Jeri smiled and said, "As nice as that sounds, I like the way I am at the moment, it feels like it has been months since the Heartless invaded our home, and we woke up here, while Takato ended up on an island, and everyone else got separated, now we're coming together, and soon, we will save our worlds! So, Takato, do you want a battle?"
Takato asked, "What do you mean by that, Jeri?"
Jeri pulled out her scepter which turned out to be different then before. Before it was a green staff with a blue mouse head on top, now it was red, a bit shorter then the last one, but it had the kanji for courage inscribed into the hilt, and a lions head on the top of it.
Takato then asked, "Whoa! Where did you get that, Jeri?"
Jeri smiled and said, "Merlin gave it to me shortly after your last visit. He said that my training has progressed so much, that I should have a new wand to use. I call it, "Leo's Courage." So, you want to go against me, Takato?"
Takato summoned his claws then said, "Sure, but let's not go overboard, just a friendly spar, you okay with that, Jeri?"
Jeri nodded and then the gang headed out to the Third District, when they saw that there was no Heartless in sight, Jeri and Takato took up a fighting stance, while the others got to higher view. No one moved for a minute, then Jeri made the first move. She moved fast and she even casted fast as well, proof shown when Takato didn't even see the Fira spell coming at him until it hit him. Takato shook his head, then he searched around, then he spotted Jeri, then he dashed in after her, but just as he was about to attack, Jeri casted Aerora around herself, causing Takato's attack to bounce right off.
Jeri smiled and said, "You have to do better then that, if you want to catch me off guard, Takato."
Takato smirked then said, "Well, if you say so."
Takato then got onto all fours, and his eyes became slits, then he said, "Let's see how well you do against my, animalistic fighting style, Jeri."
Then Takato dashed towards Jeri, the girl didn't move for a few seconds, then just as Takato was about to strike at her, she cartwheeled out of the way and launched a Blizzara at Takato, the Goggle-Headed Tamer became cold, and he stopped moving, then Jeri used this opportunity to hit Takato with a five hit combo, then when Jeri was going for a sixth hit, Takato moved out of the was and he said, "Not bad, Jeri, not bad at all. You want to continue?"
Jeri stood straight up and said, "No, I've already seen how strong you have become, and I must say, you truly have gotten strong, Takato."
Takato smiled then he too stood up and dismissed his claws and said, "And I have to admit, since you started training with Merlin, you've become more and more braver and stronger. I'm impressed."
Jeri smiled and said, "Well, thank you, Takato, and I have to admit, you're getting stronger yourself."
Rika and the others headed down, then Rika said, "Well, come on guys, we should head out."
Sora nodded and said, "Rika's right. We should head off."
Takato nodded then he said, "Well, Bye Jeri, tell the others we said "hello" and tell 'em we're sorry that we couldn't stay for too long."
Jeri nodded then said, "Don't worry about it, I'll tell them. Good luck on your journey everyone, be safe."
Everyone nodded then they left the Third District and got back to the ship, after warping back to Halloween Town, the gang then headed for the next world, as they were sailing, they ran into something unexpected. Goofy said, "Uh, a big ship is catching up to us."
Takato and the others looked behind them and saw a huge pirate ship Donald then said, "It's a pirate ship!"
Sora said, "It's gonna ram us!"
Takato then said, "Everyone, brace for impact!"
But it was too late, and the gang landed on the ship, Sora, Rika, and Takato were on the front of the ship, when they turned around, they heard an all too familiar voice say, "I didn't think you'd come, Sora, Takato. And I see you have decided to stay with your friend, Rika." The three humans looked up and Sora gasped, the one they saw, was Riku. Riku then said, "Good to see you all again."
Takato listened to the way that Riku was talking, and it sounded like he was, different, in a way. Sora then asked, "Where are Donald and Goody?"
Then Rika said, "Where's Hazzardmon?"
Riku then asked, "Are they that important to you guys? More important then old friends? And what about you, Takato? Is there anything you want to ask?"
Takato glared at the silver haired boy and asked, "Where is she?"
Riku smiled and moved to the side, and showed Kairi, laying down, almost, lifeless even. Takato saw that her eyes were open, but, it looked like they had no life in them.
Sora and Takato said, "Kairi!"
Riku then said, "That's right. While all of you were off goofing around, I finally found her."
Sora, Takato and Rika all charged at Riku, but they were stopped by a hook. Then they heard a voice say, "Not so fast. No shenanigans aboard my vessel, kiddies."
They looked up and saw a pirate wearing what looked like an old English outfit. And a hook on his left hand.
Sora then asked, "Riku, why are you siding with the Heartless?"
Takato then asked, "Riku, what happened to you?"
And Rika asked, "Riku, what did that witch do to you?"
Takato looked around and saw that they were surrounded by Heartless that were called "Pirates" and he also saw a short pudgy man standing next to the pirate.
Riku then said, "The Heartless obey me now, Sora. Now I have nothing to fear." Riku's words shook everyone to the core.
Sora then said, "You're stupid. Sooner or later they'll swallow your heart."
Riku then said, "Not a chance. My heart's too strong."
Rika nodded and said, "Yeah, right! No matter how strong you think you are, or how strong you think your heart is, if you stay on this dark road, you'll end up losing your heart to the Heartless!"
Takato then said, "Riku, do you remember what I told you on the islands, before the Heartless attacked us? Do you remember what it was that I told you? I told you that you should look at the world the way Sora does, and I also told you that you should admit that you actually respected him for being able to keep up with you while you were on the island! Does non of that mean anything anymore?"
Riku looked at Takato and said, "While that did make me think about how I acted to Sora back then, in fact those words kept echoing through my head every time I thought about you two, now I only see it as you trying to be the better of all of us."
Takato's eyes widened and he said, "I never said that I was better then you guys!"
Riku then said, "True, but you always had something we didn't, and you even said that. You had experience. Well, now I have experience, much more then you do. And that's not all. I've picked up a few other tricks as well. Like this, for instance."
Riku then lifted up his hand, in in front of Sora, Rika and Takato, were Heartless copies of themselves, they were led back to back, and everyone was shocked. Riku then said, "You guys can go see your friends now.
Then a trapdoor opened up beneath them, and they fell down. When they landed they ended up landing on Donald and Goofy, and Sora told them about how he saw Kairi, leaving out the parts about Riku. Goofy then asked, "You don't say."
Sora nodded then he said, "Yeah, it was definitely Kairi. We finally found her."
Goofy then said, "All right! Then let's go up and talk to her."
Sora said, "Yeah."
Donald then said, "Sounds great. Okay, but first…"
Rika then said, "CAN YOU GET OFF OF US, AIRHEAD!"
Takato nodded and said, "And do it fast before I cut you to ribbons!"
Sora jumped up and said, "Oh, sorry guys."
Once Sora was up, the gang looked around and saw that they were in some kind of holding cell. Takato then said, "Sora, I saw Kairi too, but did you forget about the fact that we're being held prisoner inside a pirate ship! I mean, pirates! Do you know how badly I want to get off this ship!? I am a knight! Knights and pirates mix just as well as water and electricity does!"
Then the gang heard a voce go, "Ahem."
Takato stopped his rant as he and everyone else turn to where they heard the voice, which again said, "How ya doin' there? Looking for a way out?"
Then someone who looked about fifteen jumped out wearing brown shoes, dark greed pants, a light green shirt and jacket, with a small dagger on his belt, with light red hair, and a green pointed hat with an orange feather. Then Goofy asked, "Who are you?"
Then the guy said, "I'm the answer to your prayers."
Donald and Rika got into the same position, with folded up arms and tapping their feet, the man then said, "Okay, then. Fine. Have it your way."
Sora then said, "But you're stuck in here too, aren't you?"
The man folded his arms and looked away then said, "No. I'm just waiting for someone."
Sora then asked, "Who?"
Then everyone was a golden glowing light dash past them and started circling around Sora and Takato.
Then the man looked at the glowing dust and said, "Tinker Bell, what took you so long?"
The glowing ball then disappeared to show a small fairy wearing a small green dress and shoes, with yellow hair.
The kid then said, "Great job. So you found Wendy?"
Tinker Bell said something that no one understood and the kid said, "Hold on. There was another girl there, too?"
Takato and the others looked at each other and nodded, then Tinker Bell said something else, and the boy said, "Are you crazy? There is no way I'm gonna leave Wendy there!"
Donald then said, "Aha. She must be pretty jealous."
Donald then started laughing, and Tinker Bell flew down towards him, and kicked him in the beak.
Rika chuckled then said, "Nice one, sister. I was just thinking of doing the same thing to him."
Then Tinker Bell flew out the hole in the door and the kid said, "Come on, Tink! Open up the door!"
Then Sora said, "Ehem."
Then the kid looked at the group, and saw that Sora, Rika and Takato all had their Keyblades and ClawBlades out.
Takato folded his arms, ClawBlades included and asked, "And just who in the world are you?"
The kid then said, "I'm Peter Pan!" Then he held out his hand.
Sora then said, "I'm Sora." Sora then reached out his hand, but Peter took his back.
Takato then said, "The name's Takato."
Rika then said, "Rika's the name, kid."
Then Peter Pan said, "Okay, we're in this together, but only 'till we find Wendy."
Takato then said, "Fine. Sora, open up the door."
Then Sora nodded and aimed his Keyblade at the Door, and unlocked it, then the group left their prison and soon found themselves being attacked by Heartless. Takato noticed that Peter Pan had the ability to fly, and only seemed to attack with his dagger. While the gang was fighting the normal Heartless, Takato soon found himself staring down the Heartless that looked just like him. He tried to find out what it was called, but all that came up was, "Shadow Takato" Takato then charged at the Heartless and was quickly destroyed.
Then the guys headed up higher, and soon found themselves in a room where they were attacked by a new type of Heartless that looked like the Pot Spiders of Agrabah, but these were barres and were called "Barrel Spiders" and while they seemed to be tough, but after being hit by a Fira, they blew up, Takato also had to fight another Heartless copy of himself.
Then he asked, "Hey, guys, what happened to Hazzardmon?"
Donald then said, "When those pirates attacked us and brought us to that cell, he flew out of the ship. I think that he's following the ship now, but staying outta sight."
Takato nodded then said, "Come on, the sooner we find our way to Kairi, the sooner we can get out of here!"
Then the gang jumped down a hole in the ship that lead to a lower level. Once there, the gang had to fight regular Shadows, Pirates and their own versions of Heartless. The only thing Takato was thankful for, was the fact that they didn't use a shadow version of their weapons.
After they defeated the Heartless, they made their way to another part of the ship, when Goofy asked, "So, uh, how come you can fly?"
"Anyone can fly." Peter Pan said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, then he asked, "You wanna try?"
Rika then said, "Us? Fly? Hah! Don't make me laugh."
Sora then said, "Ignore her, and sure."
Peter Pan then landed and whistled, and soon enough, Tinkler Bell showed up, who looked to be still a little mad. Peter Pan then asked, "Aw, haven't you cooled off yet, Tink?"
The pixie and the boy flew up and circled around the group and said, "Just a little bit of pixie dust. There. Now you can fly."
Takato looked around and he said, "I don't feel any different."
Rika then said, "Told you."
But Donald tried to fly by jumping, only to land on his face. Causing Tink to laugh at the fallen duck.
Takato then said, "That had to hurt. Hey, what happened?"
Then the group heard Tinker Bell acting funny, and Peter Pan said, "What is it, Tink?"
Then the group heard a women's voice ask, "Peter? Peter Pan?"
Then a girl in a blue dress ran up to the netting and Peter said, "Wendy!"
The girl, now known as Wendy said, "Please hurry! The pirates are coming!"
Peter then said, "What! I'll be right up there! Just hold on!"
Sora then asked, '"Wendy?"
Wendy then said, "Yes?"
Sora then asked hopefully, "Is there another girl in there with you?"
Wendy looked up and said, "Oh, why, yes. But she seems to be asleep. She hasn't budged an inch."
Sora then said, "Kairi? Kairi!"
Takato looked up and said, "Kairi? Kairi! Kairi, can you here me, sis?"
The only response she gave, was just her moving her hand. Sora and Takato tried to reach for her, and Sora thought that she was asleep, but her hand twitched ever so slightly, making Sora smile. But then the gang heard a door open, and they saw Kairi being dragged away.
Sora and Takato said, "No!"
Then they heard Wendy scream, and Peter Pan said, "Wendy!" He then looked at the others and said, "Hey, let's get up there!"
Takato and the others nodded, then they saw a hole on the other side of the room, and they went up, once they were in the room, they saw that it was not the same one, but they saw a ladder on the ceiling, and after Sora, Donald and Goofy jumped one each other, they were able to bring it down, then they headed up, once they were in the next room, Sora and the others saw Riku holding Kairi, and Sora said, "Riku, wait!"
Takato then said, "Kairi! Sister!"
But a shadow version of the humans showed up, this time, they were holding Keyblades and ClawBlades. Takato and his copy were evenly matched, and they seemed to be countering each other, claw for claw, then he said, "Man, this is the worst!"
Rika seemed to be having even less luck, her copy seemed to be just as skilled as she was, she then said, "How in the worlds is this thing just as good as I am?"
The only thing Sora had over his copy, was the fact that he could use different Keychains, while the copy, only had the Kingdom Key, then Sora said, "Riku." Sora then proceeded to use his Sonic Blade attack and rapidly attack the Heartless, but soon, all three went into the ground, and swapped opponents, soon, Sora was fighting Rika, Rika was fighting Takato, and Takato was fighting Sora.
Then to make things worse, the shadows would create copies of themselves, and only one would be the real one, the others were just distractions. But soon they were able to defeat their copies.
When they defeated their copies, they began floating while releasing tons of darkness. Then they fell into the darkness. Then the others nodded, then they headed below deck, where they found Wendy unconscious.
Peter Pan went to Wendy, and picked her up and said, "Wendy!" Tinker Bell then started flying around and Peter said, "Come on, Tink! Not now!" Tink then flew off, and Peter picked up Wendy and said, "Well, this is as far as I can go. I've gotta help Wendy."
Then, just like that, Peter Pan left. Then the gang decided to head out as well, when they left the room, they were attacked by more Heartless, once they were defeated, they went back to the higher part of the ship, and they went outside, where they encountered Captain Hook, who said, "Quite the codfish that Riku- running off with that girl without even saying goodbye."
Sora then asked, "Run off where?"
Takato then aimed his claws at the pirate and said, "Tell us, where did he go?"
Captain Hook then said, "To the ruins of Hollow Bastion, where Maleficent resides."
Takato then said, "Hollow, Bastion?"
Rika then asked, "You heard of it, Goggles?"
Takato shook his head and said, "I'm, I'm not sure."
Captain Hook then said, "But you won't be going there." Captain Hook then held up a lantern that had Tinker Bell inside making everyone gasp and said, "Unless you intend to leave your little pixie friend behind?"
Sora let out a disappointed groan, Rika gave the Capitan an evil glare, and Takato looked angry, not at the captain, but at himself, the the three dismissed their Keyblades, and soon the Heartless were surrounding them, then Hook said, "Hand over those Keyblades and I'll spare your lives. Be glad I'm merciful, unlike the Heartless. So, which will it be? The Keyblade, or the plank?" Then everyone heard the sound of a ticking clock. Then Hook looked overboard and saw a crocodile and said, "It's him! The crocodile that took me hand! Oh, Smee! He's after me other hand! I can't stay here! Go away! Oh, I can't stand the sight of him!"
Takato looked at the others and saw that they were just as confused as he was, then Captain Hook got on top and said, "Smee, you take care of them!"
Then Takato was led to the edge of the plank, with Heartless surrounding him, he then took a step back, and almost took a swan dive. Then he heard Peter's voice say, "Fly Takato! Just believe, and you can do it!"
Takato then put his goggles over his head, then he looked at Rika, who had a worried look on her face, he then winked a smile at her and mouthed the words, "I love you" then he closed his eyes, then he jumped off the plank, and just before he hit the water, he opened his eyes, and he started to fly, the others looked at him and he said, "Just believe! That's all it takes!"
Then he saw Peter Pan swoop in and snag the jail Tink was in, and let her go.
Takato then said, "Thanks, Peter."
Peter then said, "Hey, don't mention it. You didn't think that I'd leave you, your friends and Tink behind, did you?"
Smee, seeing this, ran away. Leaving behind three glowing green balls, that floated to Sora, Takato and Rika.
***Cure upgraded to Cura***
Then, Sora, Takato, and Rika started flying around fighting the Heartless. Takato seemed to be enjoying the flying and he looked at Rika, who seemed to have a smile on her face when she was fighting the Heartless, then he flew up to her and said, "And you said that this was dumb."
Rika looked at Takato and said, "That's not what I said, but that is what I meant, but now, seeing how you want to talk while we're fighting, let's talk about Hollow Bastion. What was the deal about that?"
Takato dodged an attack from a new type of Heartless that looked like a pirate with wings called an "Air Pirate" then he said, "I think that it was once mine and Kairi's old home, but, I can't really remember much about it."
Rika and Takato then dodged a cannonball being launched at them from a Heartless that looked like a pirate ship, that was called, "Pirate Ship", then Rika said, "Well, you can go off on memory lane later. Right now you should be more focused on fighting the Heartless."
Once Takato and the others finished defeating the Heartless, Peter Pan and the others went to the captains door, and Peter knocked and Hook asked, "Is that you, Smee? Did you finish them off?"
Peter then used his fingers to hold his nose and in a voice that sounded like Smee's, he said, "Aye, Captain, they walked the plank, every last one of them."
Then Hook ran out of the cabin and looked around, then Peter saw this as an opportunity to use his dagger to poke the pirate in the back. The captain yelled, and turned around and said, "P-Peter Pa-blast you!"
Peter Pan then asked, "Ready to make a splash, you codfish? Now it's your turn to walk the plank!"
Takato, Rika and Sora cornered the old pirate and then they proceeded to attack the pirate, who would then throw bombs at the gang, while they were being attacked by the Heartless. Takato had to admit, he would never believe that he would be fighting a pirate, but he had to admit, it felt funny, then he had to barrel roll out of being hit, then he unleashed his claws, then he saw the Pirate Ship charging at him, but just before it hit him, he heard a now all to familiar voice yell out, "Hazards Light!"
Then in a wave of red and white spiralling energy, the Heartless was destroyed, Takato flew up and saw Hazzardmon flying his way, then Takato flew towards his best friend and said, "Hazzardmon!"
Hazzardmon smiled and said, "Takatomon, since when can you fly?"
Takato laughed and said, "Since five minutes ago. And you really do have the best timing, you know that?"
Hazzardmon nodded then asked, "So, pirates, huh?"
Takato nodded while chuckling then said, "Yeah, I know, right? Want to help out?"
Hazzardmon nodded then the duo returned to the fight, with Hazzardmon fighting the Heartless, and Takato came back and delivered a fiery claw to Hooks back and said, "Hey, you miss me?"
Hook then said, "Like that blasted Peter Pan!"
Rika then said, "Good to see that Hazzardmon still has perfect timing."
Takato nodded then, he dashed at Hook at incredible speeds slicing and dicing at the pirate, then finally, knocking him into the sea, right at the crocodile, Hook and the Crocodile locked eyes for a minute, then Hook started running on the water, with the crocodile right on his tail. Rika saw this and said, "Wow. I guess that crocodile had a taste of him, and liked it." Takato nodded.
***Sora learned Ars Arcanum***
***Obtained Ansem Report 9***
Sora and Takato then got to the edge of the ship and began thinking, the gang thought that they were upset about Riku, then Goofy said, "Uh, Kairi couldn't wake up, so maybe she's really lost her-"
Donald then said, "Shh!"
Peter Pan then said, "Sora, Takato."
Sora then said, "I still can't believe it. We really flew. Wait 'til we tell Kairi. Wonder if she'll believe us. Probably not."
Peter Pan then said, "You can bring her to Neverland sometime. Then she can try it herself."
Takato then said, "Yeah, but first we have to get to her back."
Sora nodded then said, "If you believe, you can do anything, right? We'll find Kairi. I know we will. There's so much I want to tell her- about flying, the pirates, and everything else that's happened."
Takato nodded then said, "Indeed, we can tell her together."
Tinker Bell then flew to the group and spoke with Peter, who asked, "What's that, Tink? What about the clock tower? You say there's something there?"
The group then flew to the clock tower, where they saw Wendy, then the gang flew to one of the clock faces, which was on the wrong time, so Sora decided to hit the clock, making all four sides tell the time of midnight. Then the time in between two and three on the clock face turned into a Keyhole, then Sora, Takato and Rika aimed their Keyblades at the Keyhole, then sealed it.
While Peter spoke with Wendy, Takato was speaking with his friends, "All right, as I have told you guys, me and Kairi are siblings, and while I don't remember everything, but our world, I remember some of it, but for some reason, the name "Hollow Bastion" sounded almost, familiar."
Sora then asked, "Why's that?"
Takato shook his head and said, "I don't know. But it could be that, it was once my home." Takato then looked down and Rika put a hand on his shoulder.
Rika then said, "Hey, we'll find her, and a way to give her back her heart. That's a promise."
Sora nodded and said, "Yeah, we will, so don't worry, Goggle-Head."
Takato laughed then said, "You're lucky we can fly now, Sora, else I would have knocked you off of the clock tower for calling me that."
Rika laughed then said, "Well at least that's got you smiling. Huh?"
Rika and the others saw Tinker Bell flying around them and Rika asked, "Hey, what's up?"
Peter Pan then said, "Oh, boy. She's gettin' steamed again. Do me a favor. Look after her for me, will ya?"
Tinker Bell flew up to Sora's face and Sora asked, "What?"
Then the gang left Neverland, ready to head off to the next world.
