Kingdom Hearts: Race For Your Life
Chapter 4: Summer Camp!?
As Sora,Donald and Goofy slowly but surely got closer and closer to the group of small buildings that they understandably thought was a town,they started to get a slightly better and clearer look of the place itself,the buildings themselves started to look more and more like tent-like cabins that were standing on top of wooden floor panels in a big open field,and there also seemed to be a giant red intercom at the top of a much bigger and longer tent. This place was starting to look less and less like a town and something else entirely for every few feet they walked,and they started to get slightly confused before Sora asked "I don't know about you guys,but this place is starting to look less like a town here." to which Goofy added out of intrigue "I guess it may not be a town after all,what could it be then?"
"We'll find out when we get there. My feet are starting to get really sore." Donald crankily retorted due to his feet getting increasingly sore from the long walk to the "town" as Sora agreed "Yeah mine too,I think this is the longest we've ever had to walk before." to which Goofy added "I hope they have a foot doctor here."
After about 10 more minutes of a long and painful hike,the gang finally managed to make it to the mysterious place they saw as they were now standing absolutely exhausted in front of the sign they saw earlier. The ground was no longer made out of concrete like before,and there was almost no sign of civilization to be found aside from the aforementioned buildings,it was like 10% civilization and 90% nature to say.
The sign itself was actually pretty tall in comparison to the meddlers,at least 20 feet tall to be precise,and it was actually made out of light brown wood most likely from the surrounding trees,what was written on it was actually carved into it rather than painted,and finally it was a little ways off from the actual town itself by only about 10 feet.
Admits his heavy breathing due to them being so tired,Sora slowly looked up at the sign and read it as Donald collapsed on the ground and Goofy sat down to catch his breath "Camp Remote? Wait…..what?" before he turned around to the others and pointed to the sign as he stated in confusion "Uh guys? I don't think this place is a town."
"What? We came all this way for nothing?" Donald angrily asked as he quickly sat up from the ground to which Goofy slowly stood up and looked at the sign as well before he took the time to ponder. After a few more moments of Goofy scratching his head to think while the others merely looked at him since Goofy was generally the smartest of the three,but soon he finally spoke up and suggested "Well the sign says that this place is called Camp Remote right? So maybe this place is a summer camp?" to which Sora and Donald perked up and exclaimed in unison "Summer Camp?!"
"So that's why it's out in the middle of nowhere like this!" Donald continued as he realized why it was out in the middle of the woods to begin with as Goofy smiled and added "Makes me wanna go in and see the fun stuff they do here then? What about you Sora?" before he turned around to face the boy. However Goofy's smile would slowly fade away into a confused glare when he noticed that Sora was looking up into the sky with a very dopey smile on his face,almost like the time he first heard about Sandy Claus in Halloween Town as Goofy called out to him "Uh...Sora?"
Sora however didn't respond at all and merely continued to awkwardly smile until he eventually said "Summer camp." before he looked back down and continued excitedly "We have got to stay at this place you guys!" to which Donald sternly denied "No,we can't!" as Sora got a disappointed frown and asked "Why not?!"
"We have to keep looking for that boy Sora. Did you hit your head on a rock and forget?" Donald reminded Sora of their mission in this world as Goofy agreed with Donald "Donald's right Sora,we can't just be lounging on and about out here when that boy could be in danger." before Sora hung his head in disappointment,and his two companions started to walk away from the sign.
"All right,let's go." Sora sighed and ultimately decided to go look for the boy as he slowly began to follow the others,but he couldn't even walk a few feet before he perked up and suddenly remembered Goofy's words from before as they echoed in his head "Who knows,maybe that's where that boy was heading. There was nothing else for miles back there in the desert."
It was then and there that Sora realized that maybe they could stay at the camp after all as he suddenly shouted "Hey hold on a second!" as Donald and Goofy jumped up in the air due to the shock before Donald angrily asked "What's the big idea?!"
"Hey,maybe we can stay at this camp after all." Sora ecstatically and hopefully stated as Donald tried to deny it once again "Sora we don't know if the boy is even here or not." before Sora continued "Yes,but what if he is? Goofy you said that there was nothing else in that desert for MILES. Where else would he be going but here? Cmon?" to which Goofy admitted "Well now that you mention,it does seem possible. I suppose we could check the place out and see if he's here."
Donald after being reminded of the hundred mile long desert and the fact that this was the only thing that they have found so far,he ultimately shrugged his arms and reluctantly agreed "Okay. Let's go." before Sora jumped up in the air and exclaimed "All right! Besides,I've never been to a summer camp before. I wanna see what it's like." before he turned around and yelled as he made a sprint for the campgrounds "Camp Remote,here we come!"
"Hold on Sora! Wait for us!" Donald called out to the now sprinting boy before he and Goofy tried to catch up to him,a far cry from how they went up ahead while they were on the road.
Due to Sora's now heightened sense of excitement and adrenaline for the possibility of staying at a summer camp for the first time ever,he soon made it to the much anticipated campgrounds in no time due to it just being around the corner,with Donald and Goofy soon following behind him. And let's just say that it was much bigger than they were expecting.
There were at least 10 white and yellow cabins and tents spread out throughout the field counting the registration tent,as well as a swing set for the residents to play on while they had some free time. There appeared to be a small crowd of kids gathered in front of the registration tent with supposedly their luggage sitting on the ground,and there were also three shady looking kids standing under a tree with a red cat that had a spiked collar with them. The three kids all had blue shirts on with white sailor hats as well,with two of them in particular having a white "R" on theirs while the other one merely had an all blue shirt. The first of the three kids was very tall for a kid his age,in fact he was the tallest one of them all,on top of looking like he was permanently angry. The second kid was much shorter to the point of being the shortest of the three,and he was pretty chubby as well. The third and final kid was in between the others in terms of height,he wasn't as tall as the first kid,but wasn't as short as the second kid,with the only thing standing out about him being his pair of two buck teeth hanging out of his mouth even when it was locked shut.
Sora,Donald and Goofy were amazed at the sheer size and density of the camp as they gasped in unison "Whoa." before Sora continued "Look at this place,it's very big." to which Goofy remarked "Perhaps too big,I can see myself getting lost here."
"Hey look!" Donald suddenly exclaimed and pointed over to the tents to which Sora jumped and asked the duck "What was that all about?" to which Donald replied "Does that look familiar to you?" Sora turned his head to where Donald was pointing and gasped in excitement when he saw the exact same bike they saw in the desert,as well as the same dog and bird he saw as well,although the boy seemed to be strangely absent,they could at least get a better look at the bike,the dog and the bird now.
The dog itself was a small black and white beagle with a large black nose and spot of fur on it's back,he seemed to be able to stand on his two hind legs and wore nothing but a red,white and blue biker helmet with a pair of goggles strapped to it,and finally a red scarf around his neck. The bird he was with was very small with bright yellow feathers from top to bottom,with the only thing he was wearing being a similar pair of goggles like the dog had despite them obviously being smaller.
"Hey,it's the bike and those guys from earlier. I knew the boy would be here." Sora happily stated in relief that they wouldn't have to leave the camp as Donald sighed and suggested "Well I guess we better sign up then." to which Goofy asked out of confusion as he looked around the camp "That's funny,where's the boy then? Should we ask them where he went?"
Before the trio could even think about the boy and his whereabouts however,they as well as the entire camp were sharply interrupted when the red intercom came on and a boy loudly announced through it "Attention everyone,attention. Line up for your registration forms. Fill in all questions,including your reasons for coming to camp." to which Sora said "We can worry about that later,right now we gotta go and sign up." to which Goofy pointed to the registration tent and added "Look,I see a crowd over there. I think that's where we're supposed to go." However before they went over to the registration tent,Sora squinted his eyes for a second until he noticed a familiar face over at the tent and remarked "Hey,it's the boy from before." before he turned around to Donald and Goofy and suggested "Let's go talk to him,see if we can get to know some of these guys."
Meanwhile in front of the registration tent,all the camp attendees were patiently waiting to be permitted access to the tent so they could fill our their registration forums,among the kids was a pretty although threatening looking girl with black and slightly braidy hair,a light blue dress and a pair of white shoes perfect for the outdoors. There was also a very tomboyish looking girl as well that sported brown stringy hair,a large nose,plenty of small freckles on her face,and a green striped shirt with a pair of black shorts and sandals. A brownish haired brunette with a pair of very thick glasses to the point where no one could see her eyes along with an orange shirt and pair of shorts. A slightly younger looking girl than the others that sported blonde hair that stood up at the right and left ends with a very curly spot in the front and middle,and she wore a light blue dress that had black polka dots spread across it. And last but not least was the boy that Sora saw on the bike with the dog and the bird,he was wearing a brown beanie to cover his round and slighty bald head from the sun,a bright yellow shirt that had a black zigzag painted across the middle,and a pair of black shorts.
He walked up to the front of the crowd to wait to head inside when the girl with the polka dot dress angrily walked up to him and exclaimed "I was wrong,I haven't been hijacked,I've been drafted." before the boy replied as he tried to lighten up her mood "Sally it's just camp,it ain't that bad."
"Not that bad big brother? What do you mean not that bad?" Sally asked back in utter frustration that she was most likely forced to go to camp with her brother until the boys from under the tree rudely interrupted her as the first boy shoved her and yelled "Okay kid knock it off! You're making too much noise!"
"Hey YOU knock it off! It's the great outdoors so who cares about a little bit of noise?" A slightly older and more heroic sounding voice interrupted their little dispute as the kids as well as the bullies turned to the left to be met with three new faces angrily staring at them. Among them was a boy around the tallest bully's height with brown spiky hair,bright blue eyes,and a red and black jacket with three yellow buttons on the left and right side. The other two were weirder looking compared to most of the other campers as they were what appeared to be two guys in some very convincing duck and dog costumes.
The kids were obviously confused by the presence of such strange looking campers,but the tallest of the three bullies brushed that feeling aside and asked him "What the heck,who on earth are you guys? And how about you mind your own business!" to which the boy denied as he and his companions begun to walk towards them "I will once you leave them alone. So how about we let bygones be bygones and try to enjoy our time together."
The three visitors were now up and apart of the large crowd as they were now up in the bully's face in the hopes of them knocking off their bullying,and the brunette girl whispered to the tomboy one "What do you think's gonna happen sir?" to which the tomboy sternly replied "I don't know Marcie,I just hope these jerks get their butts whooped." However the bullies wouldn't back down from their frankly childish escapees as the tallest boy merely gave off an evil smirk and he punched the boy right in the face and knocked him onto the ground to which the other campers gasped at the sight.
"Sora!" The costumed figures shouted in unison before they ran over to help their fallen friend as the boy looked up at the now laughing bullies and yelled "Hey what was that for?!" to which Sally added "Yeah we did he do you jerks?!" The bullies however ignored their concern for the new kid and the tallest kid shouted once again "Hey I said no yelling you dumb girl!" to which Sally turned towards her brother and asked as she shook him violently "Did you see that? Did you see what they just did?"
"Well I uh-" Sally's brother tried to respond as he was sweating bullies due to the situation,but Sally rudely interrupted him as she angrily clarified "They insulted me and knocked that other kid over! Slug those guys! Show 'em their place! Give 'em a knuckle sandwich big brother!" to which the bullies turned towards Sally's brother and yelled as he was getting more and more nervous "Look you losers,get this and get it good! We run this camp! We were number one tent two years ago,and we were number one tent last year,and we're gonna be number one tent this year too!"
"Oh please,what makes you think you'll do that with us around?" The guy in the duck costume angrily/mockingly asked as Sora added "Yeah Donald's right,get lost you jerks!" and Sally's brother surprisingly got slightly braver and added more assertive "Now look here-"
"Let 'em have it big brother and you….other guys!" Sally interrupted her brother's attempt to calm things down only for the bully to smile widely and mockingly tell his two cronies and their cat "Hey guys get this,this kid with the round head and those three circus clowns want to rumble." before he and the other two bullies starting cracking up,with even the cat snickering at such an idea.
"Go get him Brutus." The second bully commanded the cat as he stopped laughing and lunged towards the kids,but before he could even do anything the third bully held him back with a leash to which Sora jumped back in fear and yelled "That thing's a cat!?"
"Well he sure fits in with them don't you think?" The guy in the dog costume remarked somewhat jokingly as Sora agreed "Yeah he does Goofy,but man he looks terrifying." to which Sally tried to threaten the bullies somewhat as they kept on laughing "Yeah you're so smart you bullies. Wait till my brothers dog gets here. Boy he'll show you."
Almost immediately after Sally threatened the bullies with their dog,the latter along with the bird came strolling down the street and into the crowd of campers as Sally stated "Here he comes,he'll take care of your dog." to which Sora looked at the small dog and questioned "That's his dog? Well I hope he'll take care of that cat of theirs because I'm not getting near that thing."
However Sally and Sora's hope that the dog would take care of the monstrous cat known as Brutus would be violently shattered,because immediately at the sight of the dog,Brutus's eyes widened and the third bully commanded him "Go get him Brutus." to which the cat lunged at the dog with a loud screech and the dog and bird cowered behind Sally's brother in fear. When the bullies noticed that Sora,Donald and Goofy were also fearful of Brutus,the third boy smiled and commanded him "Go get them too Brutus." to which he lunged at the trio and they fell over on the ground due to the shock and fear as Brutus and the bullied laughed maniacally.
"I'm surprised that thing isn't a heartless." Donald remarked as he was shaking out of fear to which Sora angrily replied when he saw how much the bullies and Brutus were yucking it up "I'm getting really close to giving them a piece of my mind."
While Sora,Donald and Goofy slowly got back up and regained their posture and the bullies continued their mocking laughter,the latter would suddenly be cut off when another kid walked up to them and asked "What seems to be the trouble?" The kid in question was around the same height as Sally and the other kids,and he was wearing a white sailor's hat like the bullies and most of the other kids,he sported long stringy black hair,a red striped shirt,and what was most odd about him was the fact that he was carrying around a blue baby blanket in his hand.
"What's up with the blanket? And he's standing up to those guys?" Sora remarked in awe and confusion of the display as he suddenly regained his sense of confidence and replied to the boy's question as he tried to sound intimidating "I'll tell you what's going on,a bunch of bullies acting like they own the place." to which the first bully shoved them both and yelled "Look kids,get in line and mind your own business!"
However the boy with the blanket wouldn't back down so easily as he was now starting to get angry at the bullie's antics,so he made a surprising use of his blanket and started using it as a whip to whip the bullies away as he yelled "Back! Back! Back!"
"Whoa!" Sora,Donald and Goofy remarked in unison at the sight before they suddenly got an idea and smiled at each other as they whipped out their weapons;Donald and Sora then cast flare force into the sky. This combined with the continuous whipping of the blanket frightened off the bullies as they finally ran off into the campgrounds and away from the campers to which the trio put away their weapons and Sora insulted them while the kid started to suck on his thumb "What jokes."
The other kids were amazed at not just the kid with the blanket's ability to whip them away,but also the newcomer's ability to launch magic like that into the air as the campers gasped at the sight and even Marcie remarked "I've never seen magic tricks like that before."
However Sally was more so focused on the boy with the blanket as she asked while she swooned over him "Isn't he the cutest thing in the world?" to which her brother joked "Fastest blanket in the west." However this sense of relief that the bullies were gone wouldn't last very long,for before Sora,Donald,Goofy and the campers could even introduce themselves to eachother properly,they suddenly heard a cold and shrill voice echo throughout the campgrounds "Well,well,well what do we have here?"
The campers gasped out of shock and they started to examine their surroundings in the hopes of finding out who the voice belonged to as Sally's brother asked the boy with the blanket "What was that Linus?" to which Linus replied somewhat calmer "I don't know Charlie Brown. But if these newcomers and their tricks are any indication,then things are about to get weird." Sora,Donald and Goofy however knew full well that this voice belonged to none other than Vanitas and they instantly whipped out their weapons and ran out into the field as Sora yelled "What do you want here Vanitas?! Show yourself!"
"Oh come on Sora,you should know me far better than that." Vanitas coldly replied as he slowly stepped out of a dark portal and revealed himself to the whole camp,with Charlie Brown starting to show an unusual amount of fear in the presence of the masked boy as Linus took notice of this and asked his friend "What's wrong Charlie Brown?" to which he replied "I don't know Linus,but something about this guy is making me uneasy."
"I told you before Sora,what I need here is Ventus and all the negativity inside of that boy's heart." Vanitas reminded Sora of his goal that he told him earlier in the desert as he slowly pointed towards Charlie Brown,and the latter tried to hide himself behind some of the other campers before Vanitas continued "So are you gonna step aside and let me do my job,or will I have to make to you scream?"
Sora however didn't move an inch from his spot and instead asked "What makes you think I'd ever let you hurt someone like that? I know what I have to do here,and I will not let you lay a finger on him,his friends,or Ventus. So why don't you pack your bags and get out!"
Vanitas however stood there in complete and utter silence,for not even the sounds of his breathing could be heard and it was causing a massive sense of dread and uneasiness to fall upon the campers and even Sora. Soon Vanitas would eventually start to quietly chuckle to himself for a moment until he obliged to Sora's request and replied as he started to slowly back away into the portal "Alright then Sora,I'll go for now. Although I will leave you a special parting gift,take good care of it now." before two of the giant snail unversed from Monstropolis jumped out of the portal and behind Sora and his team as Vanitas vanished into the dark portal.
*Monstropolis Battle Theme Starts To Play*
"Unversed!" Sora,Donald and Goofy yelled at the sight of the two monsters and the campers started to panic in fear as Linus frantically asked rhetorically "Wha….what are those things?!" to which Sally yelled in a mixture of anger and fear "I told you we were drafted! Now we have to survive monster attacks like these!" before the intercom came on and announced "Attention! Attention! All campers retreat to resignation hall! Repeat all campers retreat to resignation hall!"
"Come on everyone let's go!" Linus shouted in an attempt to sound heroic like he was with the bullies as Sally grabbed ahold of his arm and replied "I know you'll protect me my sweet baboo!" to which Linus yelled almost on instinct "I'm not your sweet baboo!" before he and the other campers including the dog,the bird,the bullies,and Rufus ran into the resignation hall. When they were all inside the hall,Linus counted all the campers and was just about to shut and lock up the tent when he noticed something,they were actually missing someone. He peeked his head outside the tent to see that Charlie Brown was so frozen by fear of the unversed that he couldn't even move,as well as him seeing that Sora,Donald and Goofy were busy fighting the unversed.
"Come on Charlie Brown!" Linus frantically yelled in an attempt to snap Charlie Brown out of his frozen state and get him back to his senses,and thankfully that did work as the boy snapped out of it and started to run over to the tent as Linus yelled "Come on!" However Charlie Brown accidentally tripped over one of the pieces of luggage lying around and severely hurt his leg as Linus yelled "Charlie Brown!" and this yell was so loud that it got one of the unversed's attention as it broke free of the trio's constant attacks and made a quick dash towards the now fallen Charlie Brown.
When Sora saw that the unversed was about to likely finish off Charlie Brown,Sora shouted "No!" and in a panic used the air step shotlock to quickly dash over to Charlie Brown and block the unversed's attack with the keyblade and use counter kick to knock it back into the field. Charlie Brown was shocked that this boy with this mysterious key saved him from death and stuttered "Y-you saved me?" to which Sora told him "Get outta here,get into the tent with the others." before he slowly rose up from the ground and joined Linus and the others into the tent.
Now that all the campers were safe and sound inside the registration tent,this allowed Sora,Donald and Goofy to fully take care of the two unversed as Sora smiled and said to himself "Alright." before he went into second form and dashed over to one of the unversed and wiped it out with sonic blade due to it already being woozed out. He then used hyper hammer to swing the second and last unversed towards Goofy where he used his shield to deflect it over to Donald where he used a flare attack to zap and entirely disintegrate it. The unversed were gone and the camp was safe again….for now.
*Monstropolis Battle Theme Stops Playing*
After both of the unversed were defeated,the campers were finally allowed to be let out of the registration building due to the campgrounds being safe again to navigate,but most of the campers opted to stay inside so they could sign up and due to a slight fear of going back out after the monsters had appeared. Sora,Donald and Goofy put away their weapons and gave each other a high five as they exclaimed "We did it!" in celebration of their victory before they suddenly heard the voice of a boy call out to them from behind "You guys were awfully brave to stand up to those monsters."
Sora and the others turned around to see Charlie Brown,Linus,Sally,Marcie,the dog,the bird,as well as some of what appeared to be his other friends as Sora smiled and apologized "Oh uh...sorry about all that. Those things pick the worst time to show up." to which Donald added "It's part of the job,you gotta be prepared for any attack."
"Those are the unversed." Goofy added as Linus raised an eyebrow and asked "Who are you guys? We haven't seen anyone like you around here at all." to which the tomboy added "Yeah tell us about you guys,that was some wicked stuff you did out there."
Sora then started to get red in the face and sweat bullets,for they couldn't tell them where they were from since they had to maintain the world order,but he knew he had to think of something to tell them.
"Uh,are you alright there?" Charlie Brown asked out of confusion when he saw how nervous Sora looked to which the boy perked up and made up a lie as he stammered "Oh it's nothing. We're just from another school very far away,and we are also the only ones who wanted to go to camp here." to which Sally took notice of the duck and dog and asked "What's with the costumes there?"
"That..oh….they are just the mascots for our school football team. And they really like to keep their costumes on…..they just find them very comfortable. Right guys?" Sora made up another lie on the spot as he turned around and nervously whispered "Play along." to which Goofy smiled and backed him up "Yes,these costumes are great. I'm Goofy." and Donald added "I'm Donald." and Sora finally added as he turned around again "And I'm Sora."
Charlie Brown and the others looked slightly puzzled at the prospect of such odd looking individuals,but they eventually brushed it aside as Linus smiled and introduced himself to them "Well um...my name's Linus. Linus Van Pelt." before he shook hands with Sora and Charlie Brown added "Charles,but everyone just calls me Charlie Brown."
"Sally Brown. I'm his much smarter and prettier sister." Sally happily skipped up to Sora and introduced herself to them before Marcie fixed up her slightly crooked glasses and added "Marcie." to which the tomboy shoved her way through the group and tightly grabbed ahold of Sora's hand "Peppermint Patty,sport's number 1 champ. And over there is one of my many teammates Franklin."
She let go of Sora's hand and pointed over to a black kid around her age in the group that had dark,short,slightly curly hair,a blue sweater,and a red and brown baseball cap as Sora remarked under slight pain due to Patty's tight grip "Thanks for that Patty,and its nice to meet you Franklin." before Franklin politely waved his hand towards Sora and his pals.
"Lucy Van Pelt. Unfortunate sister of my dumb brother with his stupid blanket." The girl with the black hair and blue dress introduced herself in a crabby and somewhat angry tone of voice as Sora replied out of intrigue "Oh so you two are siblings then?" to which Linus regretfully admitted as he sucked his thumb "Unfortunately yes."
The last kid to be introduced to Sora and his gang was a blonde haired boy with a purple and black striped shirt along with a white sailors cap of his own as he walked up and shook hands with Sora before he greeted him "The name's Scheroder. Do you like Beethoven….Sora is it?" to which Sora got confused as to who or what this mysterious Beethoven was and asked "Who? Is Beethoven some type of ice cream."
Scheroder stopped shaking hands with Sora and facepalmed due to the latter's ignorance regarding Beethoven as he thought to himself "Oh boy." before Sora nervously brushed it aside and remarked "Well you all sure seem like a good bunch to be around. About the monsters from earlier-"
Sora's attempt to explain their profession to them without breaking the world order would however be interrupted when he suddenly felt his hand being kissed as he groaned "Huh?" and looked down to see the dog from before kissing his hand.
"Uh….hi there….dog." Sora nervously greeted the canine as he moved his hand away from him to which Charlie Brown chuckled and introduced him to Sora "Oh that's just Snoopy Sora. He's just very friendly and likes to meet new people,and I think he already likes you guys." before he noticed that Snoopy was already kissing Donald and Goofy's hands,with the former gagging and yelling in disgust "Augh! Dog germs!"
"Well,Donald's just like Lucy then. Whatta you know?" Linus remarked and asked sarcastically due to Donald and Lucy's similarities as she shot him an angry glare to which he nervously smiled with a red face,but before Lucy could do god knows what to him or the bird could be properly introduced,the intercom suddenly and loudly announced to the whole camp "Attention! Attention! Would all campers proceed to the registration tent to sign up! Repeat,would all campers proceed to the registration tent to sign up!"
"Well,guess we better get going then." Sora suggested that they should go on ahead to the tent to sign up as they all proceeded to do so,with Snoopy still trying to kiss Donald's hand again and again as the duck angrily asked him "Would you stop that!?" to which the dog chuckled to his little bird friend that sat on top of his head.
Meanwhile,while the campers were busy heading off to the registration tent like the intercom had told them to,the bullies however were standing under the shade of another tree and they were pretty angered by the fact that they were beaten by Linus and Sora as the first and tallest bully angrily remarked "I can't believe this,we got beaten up by a kid with a baby blanket and those circus clowns performing their magic tricks."
"We have to step up and show them not to mess with us when the river race comes." The second and chubby bully replied as he played with Rufus to which the third bully with the buck teeth added "We'll do anything to make sure those losers don't win and that we win again like last year. Won't we Slim?"
"Of course we will!" Slim,the first bully confidently retorted to which a cold and emotionless voice echoed for only them to hear "Oh really? Will you really do whatever it takes to win?" to which Slim replied in an attempt to sound intimidating "I said we will already! So how about you get lost and stop bothering us!"
However Slim and his gang would be startled when Vanitas suddenly appeared through a dark portal and surprisingly and shockingly greeted them with their names "Slim,Shorty,Bucky. I have a special offer for you." to which the bullies got nervous looks on their faces at the revelation that Vanitas knew their names,even Slim got slightly unsettled by this as he asked "What? How do you know our names."
Vanitas however kept entirely silent for at least 10 seconds before he asked the bullies something that definitely got their attention "Would you like to win the race and have complete control over the camp? Because I will help you win,all I need is a couple special deliveries. Courtesy of those losers Charlie Brown,and Sora,"
