I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Frozen. They each belong to Disney and Square Enix. Wow, almost 200 reviews. Let's see if we can see if can reach it for this chapter. Anyways, time to reply to some reviews...
NinjaFang1331: Thank you.
Mickol93: Thanks. War stories? I like some. Why do you ask?
Deadman: Neat idea. And besides this world the Heroes of Light are just one world away from Star Wars. But, I already have plans for Star Wars. I can't say much now but it would involve MAJOR spoilers. But I can say that there's two Star Wars 'worlds' or I guess galaxies in this case and one of those does involve Finn. That's all I can say for now. And Finn is an awesome character. How many people can take on a dark Jedi and even lay a mark in a Lightsaber duel and live to tell the tale? General Gervious, men like him bring you to shame!
Guest: Jabba's not in this story, but I will save that idea for a different KH story.
Well, that's it for now. ACTION!
Chapter 40: Lunch Break
"No! No! No!" Yzma exclaimed as she crossed off places on the map, "We've search every village on the palace and still no sign of Kuzco! For all we know the Heroes of Light had already found him! Where is he?!" She then pulled down a her device to talk to her sidekick, "Kronk!"
"Kronk here." He replied as he ran his way through the jungle. Yzma replied, "I'm getting tired! Pull over!"
"Sure thing. Kronk out." He nodded. He then stopped were he was as he carried Yzma's carry on tent. He then when on all fours so his boss would have an easier time getting to the ground. Yzma walked out of here ride, and stepped on Kronk as he gasped in pain. But she didn't care, she only continued to complain as she tried to walk through the mud, "Perfect... These were my best shoes." She removed her shoes she could move, "I hate this jungle."
She then pulled her scarf around her neck, but it was covered in mud and it only mad her angrier...as well as attracting a swarm of bees. She screamed as she tried to run away, he screams fell deaf to Kronk's ears as he noticed a bird, "Oh, look. A golden-throated small-winged warbler. Just one more for exotic bird bingo. I am loving this."
Yzma continued to run and screamed from the bees until she tried and fell into to the mud. She looked up to see a squirrel giving her a kind smile and offered her an acorn. She exclaimed, "GET AWAY FROM ME!"
The squirrel jumped into Kronk's hand for safety before jumping on his elbow to yell at the ugly woman before turning to Kronk. He told the squirrel, "Yeah, tell me about it." The squirrel guestered his hands to himself as he continued to talk. Kronk shook his head, "No, no, it's not you. She's not the easiest person to get close to. There's a wall there, trust me."
"Are you talking to that squirrel?" Yzma asked as she wiped the mud off her face. Kronk smiled proudly, "I was a junior chipmunk, uh, and I had to be versed in all the woodland creatures. " He then turned his attention back to the squirrel, "Please continue."
As the squirrel contenuied to talk about his problems lately, Yzma groaned as she walked away, "Why me? Why me? Why me? Why...?" Kronk defended the squirrel, "Hey, it doesn't always have to be about you. This poor little guy's had it rough. Seems a talking llama gave him a hard time the other day."
Yzma beamed, finally...a lead she rushed to the two of them, cause the squirrel to run behind Kronk's othe shoulder, "Oh, a talking llama? Do tell." The Squirrel instead yelled at the villian as Kronk translated, "Uh, he doesn't really wanna talk to you."
"Well, then you ask him." She frowned. Kronk signed, "Hate being in the middle." He then turned to the squirrel, "Squeaky, uh, squeak, sqeaker, squeakin'?" The squirrel told Kronk his deal with the talking llama as he guestered the event. Kronk nodded, "Jaguars. No kidding."
Yzma grinned as she liked as where the story was going, despite not knowing the word he said, she learned in closer. Eventually, she was closer enough for the squirrel to notice her. She squirrel stopped refused to speak any more, Kronk turned to his boss, "Uh, could you give us a little room here?"
"Oh, sorry." She apologized as took as step back. The squirrel turned to Kronk and muttered something. Kronk translated, "A little bit more, please?" Yzma glared but she walked a mile from them and asked, "How's this?!"
Kronk turned to the squirrel who nodded to him. He then told Yzma, "Yeah, that's good." She then yelled, "Now, ask him which way the talking llama went?!" Kronk asked the squirrel, "Uh, Squeaky, squeak, squeakin'?" The squirrel pointed the way, and a few minutes later they were off.
Meahwhile, Pacha was caring Kuzco as the others followed them. As the walked through the jungle, they could hear growling through the jungle. Riku exclaimed as he ran up a tree, "SPACE BEAR?! Sora! Quick! Draw another of those anti-space bear circles!"
"Actually, Riku...that was my stomach. I'm hungry." Sora replied with sight embarrassed. Kairi giggled as Donald and Goofy laughed. She replied, "Well...it has been awhile since anyone actually had a decent meal."
"Well, it just so happens the best restraint in the jungle is only a mile away. We can stop there to eat." Pacha shuggested. Anna beamed, "Great. All in favor of a lunch break raise your hand and say ah!"
"Ah!" Everyone replied with the hand rasied. Unfourtantly for Riku, he rasied the wrong hand causing him to fall. Genie then turned his hand to a giant baseball glove and caught him. Riku signed in relief, "Thanks Genie."
"No problem, kid. Don't act like an evil jerk like KH1 and we'll call it even." Genie replied. Riku rasied an eyebrow, "Um...Okay?"
With that, everyone made their way to the restraint, when they arrived they noticed a sign showing that llama's weren't allowed. Goofy wondered, "Hmmm...I wondered how are we going get Kuzco in?" Everyone thought about it for a moment, before Kuzco eyes widened, "Hey, I have an idea. But I'm going to need help for the ladies."
Anna, Kairi, Mulan, and Tifa rasied an eyebrow as Kuzco explained his plan to them. They smiled...that wasn't such a bad idea.
"Welcome to Mudka's meat hut home of the mug..." The waiteress told everyone as she turned to Kuzco, who was currently disguised as a girl, he giggled like one too. She finished, "...of meat. What can I get you all?"
"We'll have all have the specials. Is that alright, dear?" Pucha asked the disguised llama. Kuzco replied in his girl voice, "Oh, whatever you say, pumpkin. You know what I like."
"We're on our honeymoon." Pacha lied with little laugh. The waiteress nodded, "Bless you for coming out in public..."
"I say, we did a good job all things considering..." Anna muttered. Tifa elbowed her to stop talking as Kairi shushed her. The waitress turned to the others, "And you kids are?"
"Oh, we were celebrating my brother's and his fiancé's engagement party when's hey came over and joined us." Anna beamed. Sora nodded, "Yeah, we're celebrating..."
"Wait, what?!" Sora and Kairi exclaimed and blushed. Riku, Cap, Herc, Thor, and Kristoff smirked as Donald and Goofy laughed in amus The waitress didn't notice the blush or laughs and simply said, "Congratulations of getting yourself an young and beautiful future wife. So that's 22 specials..." Kuzco quickly added, "And an onion log...to split." The waitress just stared at Kuzco before turning away, to tell the cook what to make.
Once she was gone everyone brusted out laughing. Cap stopping laughing to tell Kuzco, "Okay, we'll admit. This was a good idea." Kuzco smirked, "When will you learn all my ideas are good." Pacha pretended to think, "Well that's funny because I thought going in the jungle by yourself, being chased by Jaguars, lying to us to take you back to the palace, and leaving everyone that could save the empire were all really bad ideas."
"Oh, well anything sounds like a bad idea with that attitude." Kuzco defend himself, "By the way, nice touch with the engagement thing, Anna."
"Thank you. It was the first thing that popped into my head." Anna smirked. Mickey smiled, "It's probably one the only things your thing of besides bring back summer, Hans, and stoping Xehanort, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, it is." Anna nodded. Everyone laughed as Sora and Kairi blushed as everyones' food arrived. "Hot grizzing pill bug for the happy couples and their friends. Mazel Tov." She said as she threw condfeddie in there air for the 'couples.' Kuzco sniffed at his food as everyone else wondered, what kind of food was this. Pacha just grinned and gave his food a ligh tap, opening the ball food, "Oh, boy."
He started eating it like it's the best food ever while everyone else was disgusted by it. Anna whispered, "What the heck is this?" Thor rasied an eyebrow, "It's like any food I've seen."
"I'm glad I'm a Veggietrain." Kristoff said for Sven. He nodded, "Your really lucky today, aren't you?"
"One of us should probably see how good it is." Kairi suggested as she picked at her food. Donald nodded, "Yeah, it can't taste as bad of it looks." Kuzco looked at Donald like he was crazy.
Everyone but Cap quickly exclaimed, "NOT IT!" Everyone turned to the war hero to see what'd he'd do, he picked up the fork, and took a peice of food. After what felt like minutes, Cap ate the food. He face began to turn green as he said, "Well...it has an...intresting...flavor. Excuss me, everyone..."
He quickly ran to the nearest restroom to throw up. Anna stated, "Well, I lost my appetite." Everyone nodded in agreement, Mushu stated, "If this is the best restraint in the villiage, I'd hate to see what the worst is."
"Mmmmm..." Everyone turned to Stitch to see that he ate his whole, Sora wondered, "Is everyone thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Sora, I'm pretty sure we all have the same idea." Tifa told her Godson. Everyone gave the food to Stitch, the alien dog licked his lips and started digging in. Olaf stated, "Problem solved."
"I hope the next world as actual food." Mulan started. Anna whipeared to Genie, "Once we find the Keyhole of this world, find a worl that's introuble with actual food."
"No problem, ma'am. I will start look for a world now." Genie said as he pulled out a map. Kuzco began to leave the group, Pacha wondered, "Where are you going?"
"I'm just going to slip into the kitchen and have a word with the chef." Kuzco replied. Kairi told him, "You're gonna get us thrown out." Anna and Kristoff immediately clovered her mouth, Kristoff whispered, "Kairi, are you crazy?"
"If we get kicked out of here because of him, it would be a blessing." Anna added as they let go. Kuzco just told them, "Please. With this disguise, I'm invisible." He then walked to his way to the kitchen, Cap returned, "So what'd I miss?"
"We gave our food to Stitch while Kuzco is going to have a word with the chief and quite possible we get kicked out." Sora answered. Steve signed in relief, "Thank God."
Pucha just shrugged and contenuied eating his meal, just then a skinny old woman and a huge young man sat in the table behind them. The old woman complained, "We've been walking around in circles for who knows how long. That is the last time we take directions from a squirrel! I should have done away with Kuzco myself when I had the chance!"
Everyone gasped while Pachu nearly choked on his food at what they just heard. Mulan whispered, "I think just found the villians of this world." Mushu added, "That has got to be the most ugly woman I have ever seen."
"Oh, that's just rude guys. I mean just because she's evil, doesn't give us the right to judge her on her lo..." Anna told them as she looked behind their table, her eyes widend as she turned back to the others, "Well, I'm going to have nightmares...for the rest of my life."
"Gosh, that means if she gets to Kuzco, she'd would kill him as soon as she saw him." Mickey worried for the emperor's life. The hudge man with her told her, "Oh, you really gotta stop beating yourself up about that."
She just glared at the man and was so mad she bent her fork. The man replied, "Uh oh. I get you another one there, Yzma." Cloud whispered to everyone, "Stay calm and act natural." Everyone nodded as they did so as the man turned to Pucha and asked, "Hey, are you using that fork, pal?"
Pucha handed him the fork rather quickly. The man raised an eyebrow, "Hey, don't I know you?" Pucha shook his head, "I...I don't think so."
"Wrestled you in high school?" He assumed. Pucha shook his head, "Don't remember that, no."
"Metal shop? Oh, I know, Miss Nalca's interpretive dance, two semesters. I was usually in the back because of my weak ankles. C'mon, you gotta help me out here." Kronk kept on guessing. The other realizing that if he figured out he has been helping the Emperor, they'd all be in trouble. Anna quickly said, "Maybe you should sleep on it? You know, you might come up with it eventually?"
"Oh, good idea. Thanks, ma'am. I'll think of it eventually." Kronk nodded eventually turning back to Yzma. Cap whispered to the others, "Okay, forget lunch...Sora, Kairi, Riku, Pacha...find Kuzco and sneak out of here. The rest of us will check out for any Heartless or Nobodies out side."
"Sounds like a plan." Sora nodded as the group separated.
"Look, all I know is the food looked if-ey. And I'm not the only one who thinks that. I'm sure." Kuzco continued to have his word to the chief as he glared at him the whole time. Pacha, Sora, Riku, and Kairi pecked into the kitchen, trying to get his attention. The emperor didn't seem to notice them as he continued, "I'm just checking to make sure, to take your main coarse up an notch."
"Ugh, we don't have time for this...let's just grab him and go!" Riku told the others. Pacha and Riku went to grab him as Sora and Kairi kept an look out. However, this didn't stop Kuzco from talking, "Look, it's a simple question, is there or is there not anything edible...on this menu?"
Kairi's eyes widend, "Uh-oh! The big man's coming this way." Sora turned to the others, "I hope this has a back door." The all ran to the storage room as Kuzco told everyone, "Hey, I haven't asked him about desert, yet !"
Pucha slammed the door, as Riku pecked out the crack of the door, Kronk walked up to the chief, "Hey pal, what's your policy about making special orders?" The chief lost it, "All right, buster! That's it! You want a special order?! Then you make it! I QUIT! I try and I try but no one has respected vision!"
Kronk tried to stop him but the chief just gave his hat, collected all of his possessions and left the store mumbling to himself. Riku raised an eyebrow, "Man, I feel sorry for the guy. I may not have liked his food. But none deserves to be criticized that much."
Immediately, Kronk took his place as chief and start making foods the look actually worth eating. Riku turned to the others, "He's distracted for now, how's that back door coming?"
"It's locked." Pacha replied. Sora quickly summoned his Keyblade, "I got this." He gave a light tap on the door unlocking their exit. Kairi beamed, "Nice work, Sora! Let's get out of here!"
"In a minute, I'm still hungry." Kuzco told the four of them and went back to the kitchen. Everyone turned to the Emperor and panicked, "No, Kuzco!"
"Okay, I'll make it simple for you, I'll have an spinach omlet with meat and toast. You got that?" Kuzco asked. Kronk not looking at the emperor nodded, "Can do."
As Kuzco wen back to his seat, the four of them tried to follow him when Yzma entered the room, "What's takening so long?!" Everyone panicked and hide under table, as Kronk finished his previous order, "Pick up!"
"Kronk! What are you doing?" She demanded. Kronk replied, "Kinda busy here." He reached his hand under the table for a bowl as Yzma replied, "Why am I not surprised?" The four them widend his eyes, Sora quickly reached for a bowl. Kairi glared at Sora as she blushed, "Sora, that's my butt not a bowl!"
"Oh! Sorry!" Sora quickly apologized quietly as he blushed. He then grabbed a real bowl and gave it to Kronk, as contenuied serving food, "Your orders up!" Yzma groaned, "Oh, well." She might as well get a good meal out of this, "While you're at it, make me the special. And hold the gravy!"
"Check. Pickup." Kronk nodded as he contenuied cooking. Yzma left as Kuzco came back, "You know what? On second thought, make my omelet a meat pie." Everyone came back out of the table to reach for Kuzco left, as Kronk replied, "Meat pie. Check."
"Kronk?" Yzma returned, everyone hid in separate areas in the kitchen expect for Sora and Kairi, "Can I order the potatoes as a side dish?" Kronk was cutting carrots as he replied, "I'll have to charge you full price."
Yzma groweled in annoyance as she returned to her seat, and right on que Kuzco returned, "Hey, how about a side of potatoes, buddy?" As Kuzco left, Sora and Kairi realized to position their were in and blushed. Riku and Pucha tried to reach Kuzco again as Kronk replied, "You got it."
"Want cheese on those potatoes?" Kronk asked as Yzma returned causing everyone to return to their hiding spots. She nodded, "Thank you, Kronk. Cheddar will be fine."
"Cheddar spuds coming up." Kronk nodded as he was about to pour the hot cheese on the hot potatoes. Yzma left as Kuzco returned, "Spuds yes, cheese no."
"Hold the cheese." Kronk stopped putting the cheese back. The four was begining to see a pattern.
"No, I want the cheese!" Yzma told her henchman. Kronk nodded, "Cheese it is."
"Cheese, me no likey!" Kuzco shook his head. Kronk stopped himself from pouring the chesse, "Cheese out."
"Cheese in!" Yzma exclaimed. Kronk replied with confusion, "Ah, come on, make up your mind!"
"Okay, okay, on second thought..." Kuzco returned for a final time as Yzma returned on the other side of the door as they both told him, "Make my potatoes a salad."
Kuzco left as Yzma stopped in shock. She could have sworn she heard Kuzco's voice but shrugged it of as she return to her table. With Kronk distracted and Yzma finally gone, Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Pucha left the kitchen. Good news, both the Emperor and villainess didn't noticed eachother, bad news if the made any move towards Kuzco could make Yzma finally notice him. Sora whispered, "It's a miracle, they haven't regonized him yet."
"How are we going to get him out of here without drawing her attention?" Kairi wondered. Riku turned to Pacha, "Any idea's the distract her long enough for us to save the emperor?"
"Actaully I do. Be ready to make a move." He replied. He quickly whispered something to the waitress that served them and guestered towards Yzma. She replied with a thumbs up, "No problem, honey. We do that all the time."
Meanwhile, as Yzma looked at her menu, she noticed something strange about the woman who sat at the table across from her. That woman looked awfully like a llama...could it possibly be..."1,2,3,4!" This caused Yzma to gasped I'm surprised as the people who worked there sang, "Happy, happy birthday! From all of us to you! We wish it was our birthday, so we could party too!"
With Yzma distracted, Riku and Pucha grabbed Kuzco and the five of them left the restraint. Yzma was anyoned as she wore a sombrero with a birthday cake on her table. The people continue to sing, "Happy, happy birthday! May all your dreams come true! We wish it was our birthday, so we could party too! HEY!"
Kronk laughed with joy as he continued cooking, "It's your birthday?!"
Everyone regrouped with the other heroes of light, Herc asked, "Is everyone alright?"
"We had a few close calls but we got out with out anyone noticing. The Heartless?" Sora replied. Cap nodded as he put his sheild away, "Gone for now, but we need to keep moving."
"Could some one tell me what's going on?" Kuzco asked. Thor replied, "Kuzco, listen, there's two people in there looking for you."
"What?"
"Yeah, there was a big guy and a skinny old woman." Sora nodded. Kuzco then asked, "Wait. Was this woman scary beyond all reason?"
"Oh, yeah." Tifa replied as the others nodded. Kuzco beamed as he wiped of the makeup, "That's Yzma and Kronk! I'm saved!"
"Trust me, they're not here to save you!" Pacha warned the llama emperor. He didn't listen though, "They'll take me back to the palace. Thanks for your help. You've been great. I can take it from here..."
"You don't understand! They're trying to kill you!" Anna tried to explain. Kuzco just laughed thinking it's a joke, "Kill me? Their whole world revolves around me!"
"No! I can't let you!" Pacha exclaimed as he tried to stop the emperor from getting himself killed. Kuzco then glared at everyone, "What? Wha - oh, I get it! You don't want to take me back to the palace. You want to keep me stranded out here forever! This has all been an act, and I almost fell for it!"
"Will you just listen to us..." Kairi tried to speak up. Kuzco shook his head, "No, no, you listen to me. All you people care about is that stupid hilltop!"
"What?!" Everyone exclaimed. Kuzco almost thought he made friends with but... "You don't care about me! Now, just get out of here! Even you 'Heroes of Light!' Go!"
"But-" They attempted but the llama snapped, "Go on! Get outta here!"
"Fine!" Pacha huffed, Kuzco turning away from the group and walking back to the diner. Cap signed, "Keep our distance. If we're lucky, he'll realize he made a mistake."
"Why are we sticking our necks out for this loser? He's been nothing but a jerk this whole time." Riku complained. Sora replied, "Because, weather he likes it or not. He's our friend and we've seen goodness in him. As his friends, we need to show him the right path."
"We have weird taste in friends." Olaf stated. Everyone nodded. Meanwhile, Yzma and Kronk came walking down the steps of the diner with birthday cake slices, Kuzco watching them from the bushed with a smile on his face about to revile himself. Yzma complained, "This entire mess is your fault!"
"What'd I do?" Kronk asked. Yzma replied, "If you hadn't mixed up those poisons, Kuzco would be dead now!" At Yzma's statement Kuzco's face instantly fell. "There'll be no more diversions until we track that llama down, kill him, and calm the last Princess of Heart!"
"Said I was sorry. Can't we just let it go? It is your birthday." Kronk tried to calm her down. Yzma continued, "Kuzco must be eliminated! The empire will finally be rid of that useless slug."
"You've got a point. Nobody really seems to care that he's gone, do they?" Kronk said as he carried Yzma away. Kuzco watched them walk off from his position in the bushes, his mouth open in shock, as though he couldn't believe what he had just heard. His...his friends were right. And he turned down the only friends he ever had away. Quickly, he rushed back to where he had last seen Pacha and the Heroes of Light.
"Pacha! Sora! Riku! Kairi! Anna! Olaf! Anyone?!" the emperor called out desperately. He frowned when he received no response. What had he done? This was all his fault. If he'd been a better emperor, none of this would have happened. But then he heard, "Don't worry Kuzco..."
He looked up to see Sora, Pacha, and the others walking up to him, Sora smiled, "Your REAL friends will never abondon you."
Kuzco smiled but then began to apologize, "Hey, listen, guys, you know, what I said to you back there, that - that - I - I didn't really..." Before the llama could go on, Pacha held up his hand for Kuzco to stop talking and offered him a smile of forgiveness, "So, you tired of being a llama?"
"YES!" Kuzco cried. Mickey smiled, "Then we gotta hurry. I have feeling it won't be too long before Yzma figures out were you are."
"Are there quicker ways we can get Kuzco to the palace unharmed? I bet the palace is swarming with Heartless." Herc asked. Pacha told the others, "Then go on ahead and clear them out, I have some equipment back home that should help us no flyers."
"Good. We'll send Sora and Kairi with you as escort." Cap nodded. Sora nodded, "No problem. Genie go with them."
"Sir, yes, sir! Let's take this world for the Heroes of Light!" Genie replied in a military uniform. The group slipt up, Anna grinned, "I see what you did there."
"Well, I did say I would help. Hopefully this counts..." Cap replied, "Now let's move people! We've gotta move!"
That will conclude today's chapter. Next time, we meet Pucha's family and the race to the palace begins. I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter. Be sure to leave a review on your thoughts. Also be sure to follow and fav, if you haven't already. See you next time!
