Chapter 8 The Adventure Begins (For Real This Time.)
Stepping into the third district, we looked around for anything "Help!" Someone cried out, "Selphie!" We all exclaimed, "Looking over the railing, we saw Selphie fighting Heartless with her jump-rope with Pluto growing by her side. We jumped to her rescue, taking the Heartless out. "Are you okay, Selphie?" I asked, "Yes, I'm fine. Boy am I glad to see you." She said, "We're happy too. We've been looking all over for you." Sora said, "I have too. When I woke up here with Wakka. All I could think about was if you were alright. I ran into a man named Leon, who warned me about the Heartless, but I didn't listen. I came here, and the Heartless cornered me, that's when Pluto found me, and we tried to fight them. But, I didn't get very far until you guys showed up." Selphie explained, "That's quite the story. It's a good thing we came when we did." Sora said, petting Pluto, "And Pluto helped too." I said, "Yeah, he's a good boy." Amy said,
"Hey, aren't you those girls we kept hearing on the island?" Selphie asked, "Yep, I guess we owe you an explanation." Amy said while Amy was explaining to Selphie about what's been happing, Donald and Goofy found their way here.
"I could have sworn I heard someone scream." Goofy said, "I did too. I hope no one's hurt." Donald said, at that moment, a Soldier Heartless appeared. "Gawrsh, are these the Heartless guys?" Goofy asked, hiding behind his shield. "Let's go get 'em Goofy!" Donald said, firing a fire spell at it and blowing themselves up as well. "Look out!" I exclaimed when I saw the explosion. All of us ran to get out of the way but, Sora was not as lucky and got crushed by the duo. "Sora, are you alright?" I asked, "Donald, Goofy." Amy said, followed by Pluto laughing at them, "The key!" Donald and Goofy said, "Are you three okay?" Selphie asked, "Yeah, we're fine. A little squashed, though." Sora said,
Just then, the entire third district started shacking. "Earthquake! Everyone remain calm!" Chloe said, running around, "Oh, no, Selphie, Pluto follow me." Emily said, taking the two to an empty house, "Stay here. Keep an eye on her Pluto; make sure the Heartless don't get her." Emily said Pluto saluted with his ear, and Emily went back to see the ground was rising, blocking her path. "We're trapped." I said, "Lucky for us, so are they." Amy said, pointing to the Soldier Heartless on top of the barricade, "You know what to do, girls." Sora said, "You know we do." Amy said, "Hey, we'll help too." Donald said, and we rushed into battle.
I used my Rainbow wand to take the Heartless out when I was kicked to the ground by a kick in the back by a Solider. Thankfully Goofy defended me with his shield to keep me from further damage. "Thanks, Goofy," I said, he replied with a thumbs up. Even though everyone was keeping up pretty well, there was just too many showing up. "There's too many of them. I can't keep track. "I said, "Stand your ground, girls. We can't let them beat us." Amy said, just as we were about to lose hope, Emily showed up and took all of the Heartless out.
"Emily, you're okay!" I said happily, "Of course I am, I can fly, remember." She said, landing next to us, "Incoming!" Chloe shouted, "Huh?" We all looked up and saw a giant armored Heartless assemble itself. It was purple and had the Heartless emblem on its chest. And its arms and feet were detached from its body. "What is that?!" I asked, "That is the leader Leon was talking about." Amy said, "It's huge!" Donald said, "Maybe, but we have to stop it before it hurts anyone." Sora said, "He's right. Destroy the arms first, then work your way to the head." Amy said, "We're on it." We said
"Sora, Donald, and Goofy; took care of the hands. Emily and I held the hands back with our Rainbow wands as they took them out. Cindy and Chloe handled the feet. And all of us worked together to take out the chest and head and finished the job. "We did it! We did it!" I cheered, "Yes, we did." Amy said, "Not bad for a ragtag group of girls." Emily said, "You were amazing." Selphie said, coming up to us with Pluto, "Even though I couldn't see it, I can tell you make a great team." She said,
"Hey, she's right." Donald said, "Hey, Amy? What was that pink thing that flew out of the Guard Armor?" I asked, "Oh, you named it." Amy said, "I figured we should call it something." I replied, "Good thinking. As for your question, that was its heart." Amy explained, "Its heart." Everyone said, "But, I thought Heartless had no hearts being Heartless and all." I said.
"Normally they do. You see, there are two types of Heartless. Purebloods and Emblems. Shadows and Dark sides are Purebloods; Heartless manifested from pure Darkness. As for Emblems, there were created from the hearts of people. I heard a long time ago. There were experiments done to understand the heart. But, instead, the Emblems were created, and the world was destroyed." Amy explained, "That's horrible." Goofy said, "Well, at least we know there is more than one kind, but… What are you two doing here?" Sora asked Donald and Goofy. "Why, we're looking for you." Goofy replied, "So, you're looking for me?" Sora asked, "Uh, huh." They said,
"They, too, have been seeking the wilder of the Keyblade," Leon said, with Yuffie by his side. "Hey, why don't you come with us? We can go to other worlds on our vessel." Goofy said, "I wonder if I could find Riku and Kairi…" Sora said, "Of course." Donald said, "Are you sure?" Goofy asked, "Who knows. But we need him to come with us to help find the King." Donald said, "Sora, go with them. Especially if you want to find your friends." Leon said, "Leon." I said, "Yeah, I guess." Sora said,
"But you can't come along looking like that. Understand?" Donald asked, "No, frowning. No sad face. Okay?" "Yeah, ya gotta look funny, like us!" Goofy said, "This boat runs on happy faces." Donald said, "Happy?" Sora said, "Come on, Sora, cheer up if there is anyone who can find Riku and Kairi. It's you." Selphie said all of us waited for Sora to smile, and we weren't disappointed as he looked at us with the funniest face we have ever seen. That had us all burst into laughter. "That's one funny face." Goofy said, "Okay, why not? I'll go with you." Sora said,
"You kind of have to bud. Especially if you want to save your home." Emily said, "So, it's settled. We're coming with. I'm Dakota." I said, "Donald Duck." He said, putting his hand in "Name's Goofy." He said, putting his hand in "I'm Sora." He said, putting his hand in "All for one, one for all." Goofy said, "If we're going traveling, we're going to need some supplies." Emily said, "She's right. Can't go unprepared." Amy said, "Follow me, I know just the place." Cindy said, and we followed her.
Meanwhile, in another world, a group of villains was watching us.
"That little squirt took down that Heartless! Who'd have thought it?" A shadowy figure with flaming hair said, "Such is the power of the Keyblade. The child's strength is not his own." A figure said he was wearing a tall hat and holding a snake staff. "Why don't we turn him into a Heartless? That'll settle things quick enough." An octopus said, "And the brat's friends are the king's lackeys and those Heartless angels that failed to obey you." A captain said he was wearing a feathered hat and had a hook for a hand. "Swoggle me eyes. They're all bilge rats by the look of them." He said, "You're no prize yourself." A sack of potatoes laughed, "Shut up!" The captain yelled back at him, "Enough. The Keyblade has chosen him. Well, it be he who conquers the Darkness? Or will the Darkness swallow him? Either way, he could be quite useful…" said the leader of the bunch and the mistress of all things evil Maleficent.
"So, I guess this is goodbye for now." I said, "I guess it is. Make sure you're prepared for the journey ahead of you." Leon said, "We don't know how far the Heartless has spread." "Check out the shops here. They've got some pretty cool stuff!" Yuffie said, "We'll do Yuffie." I said, "Before you go, this is from all of us." Aerith said, giving us five-hundred Munny, "Spend it as you see fit." She said, "Thanks Aerith." Amy said, "I'll hold on to it for safekeeping ha, ha, ha." Donald laughed with a greedy look in his eye. "Actually, I'll hold on to it, so none of you spend in one place." Amy said, "Good luck." Yuffie said, "Hope you find your friends." Aerith said, "Look out for each other. Keep your spirits up." Leon said, "We will, Leon." I said, "Yeah, thanks for everything." Emily said,
"The gummie ship is outside that gate." Donald said, "The what?" Sora asked, "That's our ship." Donald said, "Wait 'till you see it." Goofy said, "Hold on. Sora, this is for you." Donald said, giving Sora the power to use fire magic, "Now you can use magic, too. Goofy, give him that other thing." He said, "What?" Goofy asked, "You know!" Donald said, "Oh, right." Goofy said, giving Sora the ability to use Dodge Roll. "Abilities allow you to do all sorts of things. Guess we should look out for 'em along the way, huh?" Goofy said, "Okay, is that it? Let's get going." Sora said, "Not 'till we're ready." Donald said, "Well, I see big adventures coming their way! Looks like it's up to me to keep track of all of it in my journal." Jiminy said,
"Hey, Jiminy. Do you think you can keep track of some Dalmatians puppies that have been scattered across the worlds? They have owners here that really miss them." Emily said, "Of course I can how many are we looking for?" He asked, "Ninety-nine." Emily said, "That's a lot of puppies! How did they get that many?!" Jiminy asked, "I'll explain later." Emily said, "Before we go, there are things I want to grab." Amy said, "What kind of things?" Donald asked, "I don't know when we'll be back here, so it's best to grab the necessities first." She explained, "I have everything we need on these lists. We'll split up, and when we have everything we need, we'll meet back here. We don't need everything. We only have so much munny but, at least buy most of it." Amy explained,
"We got it, Amy." I said as she handed the lists to us, "Okay, Donald, Sora, and Dakota. You three go to the item shop. Emily, you're with me, we're headed to Cid's shop to buy some accessories." "It's a good thing I have an eye for quality." Emily said, proudly, "Cindy, Chloe, and Goofy ask around for some food. Make sure it won't spoil as we travel." Amy explained. "We got it, Amy." We said, "Great, as soon as we're done. It'll be blast off." Amy said, and we split up.
Walking into the item shop we were greeted by three ducks wearing blue, green, and red hats and shirts. "Hey, there. Welcome to our item shop we sell all kinds of things here. Sorry Unca Donald, no family discounts." The red duck said, "Boys?! What are you doing here?" Donald asked, "You know them?" Sora and I asked, "Yes, I do, Sora Dakota meet Huey, Dewey, and Louie, my nephews. Boy's meet Sora and Dakota, my new friends." Donald said proudly,
"Wow, a girl." Huey said, "She sure is pretty." Louie said, "Thank you." I said, "But, what are you three doing here?" Sora asked, "We were supposed to go on a big trip after getting enough monny from selling ice-cream. But then, the Heartless invaded and ruined the whole thing." Huey said, "Then we heard this town needed help, so we asked Uncle Scrooge to take us here, and we set up shop." Dewey said, "Wow, that's great." I said, "Thanks. But what are you doing here? I have a feeling you're not here to chat, are you?" Huey asked, "Well, the thing is." Donald said, and we explained the situation, "Oh boy, another world out like a light." Dewey said, "I hope the King's okay." Louie said, "Of course he is he runs off all the time. I just hope he gets rid of the Heartless. They're bad for business." Huey said, "I can see why you would say that." I said,
"Can you help by getting the things on this list?" Sora asked, handing the list to Huey, "Let's see here: potions: got some of those. Ethers: a little low but doable. Elixirs: I think we ran out next shipment comes in next Tuesday. You stay here I'll check in the back." Huey said, "Hold on, pal, I'll come with you." Dewey said, following his brother. "Aw, the only thing I get to do around here is stock shelves and sweep the floors. Hey, guy's wait, I think we have some on the third shelf to the right." Louie said, running into the back room a moment later the triplets came out with a crate full of stuff "Here you go, I hope this is everything you need." Huey said, "Hey, there are only five of each, we asked for twenty." Donald said, "Aw, I'm sorry, fellas. But, last night, the Heartless broke in and stole some of our stuff. We barely had enough to make Leon's weekly order. This is all we had left." Huey explained,
"But, we decided to through in some new weapons. Free of charge." Louie said, "Really?!" We asked, "Yep, this wand and shield will do nicely." Huey said, "Thanks, boys, but you didn't have to do all that." Donald said, "It's the least we could do. So, that'll be three-hundred Munny." Huey said, "I've got this here you go." Donald said, giving Huey the Munny "Pleasure doing business with you. Hope to see you again sometime." Huey said, "If you see the King tell him we said hi." Louie said, "Goodbye, boys, you be good now." Donald said, and we left.
Heading outside we saw Emily and the others with the other supplies "All right seems like we have everything we need. We have food, water, items, accessories, and things to defend ourselves. I say we're ready to go." Emily said, "Leaving us already?" Selphie asked, with Tidus, Wakka, and Pluto by her side
"Yep, for real this time." Sora said, "While you're gone, we'll help everyone settle in and look for clues on how to stop this growing darkness." Wakka said, "Just be careful, okay? The Darkness is dangerous." Chloe said, "We will, you be careful too." Selphie said, "Pluto, keep an eye on them for us, okay?" Donald said he replied by barking and saluting with his ear. "See you guys soon. Come on, guys, let's go." Sora said, heading through the door to the gummie ship.
"Wow, cool ship." I said, "It's nice, isn't it." Donald said, "It's called the Highwind." Goofy said, "Come on, Sora, you can sit with us." "But what about me there are only three seats." I said, "You're going to fly the same way we do. With your very own airplane." Emily said, "Airplane?!" I said, and there it was, a little red airplane, just my size. "But I don't know how to fly." I said, "Don't worry, you'll learn. It's pretty easy." Amy said, "Everyone ready?" Goofy asked, "You bet we are." We replied, "And we're off." Goofy said, "Blast off!" Donald exclaimed,
And we were off, the lanes between were the most awe-striking thing Sora, and I have ever seen. "Wow! So this is how the world looks from up here." I said, in awe, "Yep, nice view, huh." Emily said, "Disney castle to gummie ship. Come in, gummie ship." Rebecca said, though the speaker, "I think I hear voices." I said, "Aw, that's just our friend's back home. Gummie ship to Disney castle we read you over." Goofy said, "Did you find the key bearer?" Candy asked, "Sure did, we also made some new friends." Goofy said, "Great, cuz we just found some new worlds in trouble. We need you to check them out and see if you can find anything about the King." Chip said, "We'll do." We said, "Here, we'll send the coordinates to the closest one. Good luck, and be careful." Disney castle out." Dale said, and he sighed off. "Come on, guys. We don't have all day. We have to find the King before it's too late." Donald said, "He's right move out." Sora said, and we were off starting the beginning of our first adventure.
