Chapter 14 and so yes thank you for reading. Oh and I'm still waiting for your world suggestions. Only rules are that it must not have been used yet by me and it must be Disney.
Wandering the Darkness
Chapter 14
Circus Bugs
A few days had past since Flik, Sora, Kairi and Riku were banished from Fliks old colony. For the time being, they were wondering what they should do.
"So what now?" said Sora. "We can't exactly leave you in this mess."
"Oh don't worry about it," said Flik. "It could have been worse. And anyway I've planned for this kind of situation." Flik pulled a leaf out of his backpack and unrolled it. On it was written plans. Plans to get rid of the grasshoppers.
"You plan to fight against Hoppers gang?" Riku exclaimed. "Did you see how big they were? There's no way we could fight them."
"That's why we won't fight them," Flik said. "My plan is to go to the city to find fighting bugs to attack the grasshoppers. We can't live under the control of the grasshoppers forever so I plan to drive them away."
"Well it seems logical but how are you supposed to get fighters to listen to you?" asked Sora. "I mean most large bugs won't listen to an ant I presume."
"True but I have to try don't I," Flik said. He ran up ahead and climbed up the stalk of a dandelion and pulled off a seed. He then floated down to Sora and the gang. "Grab one of these from there. It's the only way to get over the crevasse and onto the city."
"Ok," said Sora. He too climbed the stalk and pulled off a seed. As he floated down, Kairi followed suit as did Riku. Flik walked over to the crevasse edge with his seed and waited for the wind to blow. Once the wind caught some of the feathery leaves, Flik jumped and the seed lifted him into the air. Sora and the gang copied him and soon after, the 4 of them had reached the other side.
Meanwhile back in the ant colony, Atta had gone back into the anthill and sat in her bedchambers. She sat on one of her seats and looked out of one of the holes in the wall. She sighed and gazed outside in wonder. She thought if it was a bad idea to banish Flik. She then heard a noise and turned around to see a figure in a black coat. "Huh, who are you."
Flik had now reached the city which looked more like rubbish than anything. Bugs were flying around everywhere while even more bugs were running in and out of tin cans and boxes.
"So this is the city you mentioned," said Kairi. "Seems lively."
"Well bugs all over the area come here to do their work and try and make money," said Flik. "Most bugs are street acts though. To be honest it's quite pathetic."
"Do you need to insult them?" Kairi stated.
"No your right," Flik laughed. "We'd better find the local bars. There's bound to be someone there."
"Alright let's go!" Sora shouted and he ran towards the centre of the city.
"Alright I give up." In a bar close to the outskirts of the city in a tin can, a group of bugs had collected together discussing their recent activities. "There's no way I could pull off that stunt," said the ladybird.
"Francis, it's not your fault," said the black widow spider that was stood behind the group. "You slipped on the goo from the previous stunt."
"It's not my fault Rosie," said the giant caterpillar that was sat in the corner. "I didn't mean to get it everywhere."
"We aren't blaming you Heimlich," said Rosie the spider. "Look, the only problem I can see is P.T. Flea's burns from his own stunt."
"Hey a flea's gotta do crazy things to make some quick cash," said a flea.
"Yes but that craziness could get you killed one day," said a praying mantis.
"Yes I concur. We don't want a charred manager," sighed a large moth.
The flea then bounded onto the bar. "I thank for your concern Manny and Gypsy. Our next destination however is due south. We gotta leave now to keep up with the competition. You ready over there Dim and Slim?"
"We're all set with the equipment," said the stick insect that was addressed as Slim.
"And I'm all connected up to the cart," said Dim the rhinoceros beetle. Two woodlouse then jumped on top of him and then on top of each other.
"Oi Tuck, Roll, get your selves back inside," yelled P.T. Flea. "Everyone hop to it." Francis, in anger, downed his drink then got onto the cart just as everyone else adjusted themselves into place. P.T. Flea jumped on top and cracked his whip. Dim then reared up and started to run forwards pulling the cart behind him
Flik, Sora, Riku and Kairi had searched the various pubs and bars with no luck. They had now resorted to searching the outskirts looking for strong bugs there.
"There has to be someone who is willing to help us," said Flik.
"Aww cheer up Flik," said Riku. "Not everyone has the time to help out someone else."
"Yeah I guess. Still, I was sure someone would help," Flik sighed. "Huh?" Flik looked up, his antenna twitching.
"Huh, do you hear something?" Kairi asked.
"Rattling. I can hear rattling coming from behind us," Flik said confusingly.
"Come on, we gotta get ahead of the fight!" yelled a voice.
"Fight?" Flik questioned. He turned around and saw a dust cloud heading towards them. Flik looked up in fear and started to run away.
"Huh, where are you going?" asked Sora. He looked behind too but the dust cloud was gaining on them at full speed. "Stampede!" Riku and Kairi turned around but they were too late to run away.
"Whoa, look out!" said Dim the beetle. He swerved to the side and started to roll. The cart he was pulling rolled with him throwing P.T. Flea off the top and into Sora. The cart skidded to a halt and almost took out Kairi and Riku. Sora however has flat on his back with P.T. Flea on his chest.
"Whoa you alright kid?" said the flea as he jumped back onto the ground.
"Uh, yeah I... I'm fine," said a shook up Sora. He calmed himself down and helped himself up. "So uhh, what is this?"
"Well it's…" the flea started when Dim yelled out to them.
"Look out!" he yelled facing towards the darkness. White portals appeared and multiple Dusks stepped out of them along with a few Gamblers and a Sorcerer.
"Looks like we have some work to do," said Sora as he drew his Keyblade.
"Ok no problem," Riku smiled while he drew his Way to the Dawn. "I could do with the practice to test out my fire ability."
"Hey I need to boost my ice form gauge," said Kairi who summoned her Springs Despair. "I'm not letting you get ahead of me." She ran forwards towards a Dusk and started to swing downwards. She was however blocked by a wall of light that was summoned by the Sorcerer. She leapt backwards and rethought he strategy.
"Hey do ya mind if we help?" said P.T. Flea. Sora looked behind him and he saw a large group of bugs stood behind the flea that spoke. "We can't let our cart be taken by these creatures."
"No not at all," said Sora.
"Alright gang. Let's go!" P.T. Flea took out two matchstick heads and struck them on the ground. They set ablaze to make it seemed like his hands were no on fire. Manny the praying mantis picked up Tuck and Roll, whom had rolled up, and held them like balls of energy. Gypsy lifted up Rosie into the air who aimed her abdomen downwards. Francis the ladybird held up Slim like a sword and pointed him forwards. Dim lowered his head as if ready to charge and Heimlich was stuck at the back readying things to throw.
Francis ran forwards with Slim and swung him around. As Slim screamed, a few Dusks disappeared into darkness. P.T. Flea leapt up into the air and spiralled downwards creating a fire spin. He dove straight into Gambler causing its cards to set alight. In pain, it juggled its small fire balls into the air which then landed onto a few Dusks which caused them to burn and disappear. Gypsy carried Rosie high into the air while Rosie shot silk down to the ground covering a couple a Gamblers keeping them still. Riku took advantage of this and he sliced most of them. This then allowed him to use his special power. At the same time, Heimlich was throwing multiple objects at the Sorcerer. The objects didn't hurt it but they still distracted it enough to stop it using its magic cube ability. Dim was helping him by running through the various Dusks that were trying to hit him. Manny was throwing Tuck and Roll at the burning Gambler. They hit it as a ball but then grabbed into it to claw into it. The burning eventually got too much for it and it disappeared into the darkness. Riku then decided to use his fire ability. He held his Way to the Dawn forwards and caused the black tattoos to seep into the blade. Once the blade had been covered in dark thorns, they burst into flames and engulfed the blade in its inferno. They formed around the weapon making it look larger than it actually was. Riku ran forwards with the fiery weapon towards the Sorcerer which was creating multiple barriers. Riku however was just slashing straight through them and continued to run. Fire and magic swirled past him as he ran towards the enemy. Time seemed to slow down for Riku making the whole effect amazing to him. As shards of magic flew past his eyes, he quickly switched to a reverse grip and ran straight through the Sorcerer. On the other side, Riku lost his Fire ability and he stood up straight. The Sorcerer then exploded into a ball of darkness and fire and it disappeared with the rest of the Nobodies.
"Amazing!" Flik got out of his hiding place. "You guys really are strong."
"Well I wouldn't really say that," said Slim rubbing his head.
"Who are you guys?" Sora asked.
"Allow me to explain," said P.T Flea leaping into view. "I am P.T. Flea, the leader of my group. These are Francis, Slim, Rosie, Manny, Gypsy, Heimlich, Dim, Tuck and Roll." As he told them he gestured towards each one in turn.
"Well, I'm Sora," Sora smiled. "These are my friends Kairi, Riku and Flik. We are on a journey to find strong warriors to help Flik fight off someone."
"Oh right well…" P.T. Flea started.
"You were amazing out there," Flik said in awe. "Do you mind coming with us to help us fight off a grasshopper named Hopper?"
"Umm do we have to?" complained Heimlich.
"Are there a lot of you that need protecting?" P.T. Flea asked.
"Yes. In fact there are thousands of us," Flik said.
"Well count us in," the flea smiled.
"But sir…" started Rosie.
"Hey." P.T. Flea jumped up and whispered into Rosie's ear. "If there are lots of bugs in one place, we can put on a show that will guarantee us a lifetime of swimming in money."
"Great well we can lead the way," said Flik.
"Yeah no problem," the fleas said. They all started packing up the stuff and righted the cart once more. As they started to leave, Kairi whispered to Riku.
"They aren't who Sora and Flik think. Are they?" she whispered.
"No." Riku responded. "Well we might as well just leave this world and let them sort themselves out." He then started to walk away.
"What? We can't just leave them in this mess. It was us who got them into this mess."
"Exactly. I've been thinking recently whether it was a good idea to do this sort of thing or not. You know, getting involved in the affairs of other worlds."
"You actually make a good point. But we've managed to help every world we've gone to."
"Neverland is currently frozen in artificial darkness." Riku said.
"That wasn't us. Pronex did that. And THAT is why we're going to other worlds. Now come on. The others are waiting for us." Kairi ran off leaving Riku on his own.
"We still shouldn't be doing this. I'm sure their lives would have worked out in the end without us messing it up."
Yay chapter 14 is done. Just to remind you, I'm still doing my world suggestion idea. If I choose the world you suggested, you will have the opportunity to have one your OC's in that world. Thank you for reading and please review.
