Chapter 9: Outer Space/Ant Island Part 1
Sora sat next to Goofy and Donald on thier Gummi Ship. It was a large red and yellow space ship made out of colorful plastic looking metal parts and on the inside, they were in a rather compact, yet spacious bridge. Chip and Dale, the chipmunk engineers were inside fixing stuff with their tools.
"The Gummi is ready for takeoff Captain Goofy." said Chip.
"Gawrsh. I'm the captain?" asked Goofy in confusion, yet feeling some pride. Donald looked at Chip with a questioning look, and Chip smiled teasingly.
Just then, Donald pressed some buttons and the Gummi Ship began to float from their landing platform. Sora quickl grabbed a hold of his seat and closed his eyes.
"Don't worry. I know it's scary at first, but it isn't so bad." said Goofy.
"I've ridden rides at the county fair before back in the island, but not like this!" said Sora.
"You'll like this." said Donald with a smile as he pressed another button and the ship went into lightspeed in Outer Space.
Sora sat there and waited for some time to pass. "Don't worry. Things will be easy cheesy rice and cheesy for us all." said Dale.
Just then, the ship began to slow down and Donald quicky got something out of the compartment.
"What is it Donald?" asked Goofy.
"Remember that map we found back home. I have it right here." said Donald as he got a golden sphere out of the compartment.
"What is that?" asked Sora.
"This is a map. Created from a far away world called Montressor Space Port. Or so King Mickey said. We just press the buttons right here." said Donald as he pressed a few of the green buttons on the map and then, a large hologram appeared in the bridge.
"Woah!" cried Sora in astonishment.
"This here is the map to this part of the galaxy. Sadly, there are only a few worlds we can go to, since they are disappearing." said Goofy.
"The first world we are going to is called Ant Island, and by the look of it, it's a world inhabited by bugs." said Donald.
"That is my department." said Jiminy happily.
"This means we will have to go in disguise in this world." said Donald as he pulled his magic wand.
"Now Sora, we are going to search in this world and see if we can find your friends, and the King. And maybe we can find a way to save this world too." said Donald.
Sora looked out and saw a large world with a giant tree. "Are you sure you guys know what you are doing?" asked Sora.
"This is our journey now kid. Get used to it." said Donald.
In that moment, Donald shot some of his magic into the air and large sparkles began to rain down in the bridge. Chip and Dale had to take cover while Goofy and Donald waited eagerly for the effect to take place. Sora looked up and in that moment, things became very weird.
Ant Island The following world is based on A Bug's LIfe (1998)
Sora, Donald, and Goofy emerged from the Gummi Ship and they were now transformed. Sora realized he was now an ant, standing on two legs. He still wore his clothes, but his skin was dark blue, and he still had his spiky brown hair. Donald still had his face, only now he was like a small beatle. Goofy had the appearance of a praying mantis like creature. In other words, they looked hideous, yet the feeling was very nice.
"Look at me Donald! I"m a bug!" said Goofy.
"And I'm... what ever I am. I still have my beak." said Donald.
"I'm an ant. But... why are we bugs again?" asked Sora.
"This world is inhabited by my kind." said Jiminy, who came out of the gummi ship, now plus sized and large! He was as tall as Goofy.
"Jiminy! Look at you, all large and stuff." said Donald.
"Is this your homeworld Jiminy?" asked Goofy.
"No. And this is my first time here too." said Jiminy.
"Let's find out what's in this world!" cried Sora excitedly, acting like a kid. Goofy and Donald liked his enthusiasm and followed right after him.
Somewhere in the Island, Flik was chasing the Circus Bugs in desperation. He did not want them to leave, especially since he DID say they were warrior Bugs to the Queen and Atta, the Princess of Ant Island. In fact, the whole thing was a misunderstanding.
"Circus bugs?! How could you be Circus Bugs!?" cried Flik. The Circus bugs all turned around angrily at Flik. Francis, the feminine, yet masculine male lady bug stood up against Flik.
"Oh no! You didn't say anything about killing grasshoppers pal! You lied to us!" he screamed.
"Your kidding me right! This my friends is false advertising!" cried Flik.
"How dare you!" cried the Praying Mantis Manny and he continued.
"You sir are the charlatan in this scenario! Praying on the souls of hungry artists! Good day to you sir!"
"No wait!" cried Flik, and then he heard a voice. An angry voice, coming from behind the leaves.
"Flik! Are you there! I really think I should be part of this meeting your having! Flik!" snapped the Princess Atta.
"Princess Atta! What a nice surprise!" said Flik.
"Flik, I would like to speak to these so called warriors." said Atta.
The others began to leave, and then all of a sudden, the Heartless appeared.
"Oh no! Not those savages again!" cried Slim, the Walking Stick.
"They followed us from the city to here!?" cried Rosy, the Black Widow.
"I have had enough of these things! They are not bugs! They are pests!" cried Francis.
"Doo Doo Heads!" cried Heimlich, the Catipillar.
Tuk and Roll quickly turned into balls and they charged against the Heartless in anger.
Dim, the giant Rhino Beatle cowered behind a few leaves.
"Dim, come out and help us! Your big and scary! Scare off those nasty monsters!" said Rosy.
"Manny dear, use your magic!" cried Gypsy, a moth who happened to by Manny's wife.
Just then, a fire ball appeared and struck a heartless. Everyone turned to Manny in confusion.
"It wasn't me." said Manny confused.
"Everyone look out!" cried Donald, running over to help the bugs. Sora and Goofy were not far behind.
"Who the heck are you?" cried Francis.
"We are... warrirors!" said Goofy.
"Warriros! The real deal!?" cried Flik.
"What do you mean real deal?"asked Atta.
Flik cringed, but Sora came up and defended the ants from a heartless sneaking up on them.
"You guys should take cover! Those monsters are dangerous!" cried Sora.
"Not alone you won't! I have some berry power!" cried Flik as he threw some blue berries at the mosnters.
Princess Atta then pulled out a sword like plant. "I can fight too." she sneered at a heartless who tried to attack her.
In that moment, the bugs, Sora, Donald and Goofy fought the heartless horde in the small area.
Atta struck a Heartless with her plant sword and Sora helped her strike another. "Your sword skills are good, but your stance is a little imperfect." said Atta.
"Really?" asked Sora.
"Put your legs far apart and strike when you feel the moment is right." said Atta.
Flik's berries were doing a number of damage, and the Circus Bugs used what ever they had to attack. Francis used Slim like a sword while Heimlich body bounced a few Heartless.
Gypsy and Manny used some of their magic against them, and Donald helped them in a supportive role.
Goofy threw some Heartless into the air and Rosy used her webs to tie them up. "Thank you honey! You rock." said Rosy.
"Aww shucks." said Goofy blushing.
Jiminy appeard and used his umbrella against the Heartless. In other words, everyone put their part into it, until something terrible happened. A giant Heartless appeared in the form of a bird and it had a hostage in it's sharp feet.
"Help me! Someone please help!" cried little Dot, who was the hostage.
"Dot!" cried Atta.
The giant bird then flew into the sky, holding Dot, and then to everyone's horror, it lets her go!
Francis sees this and flies to Dot's rescue, and he saves her! But not after Francis lands on the floor standing and hurts his foot with the impact.
"Good heavens they are in trouble!" cried Manny.
"I got an idea! Slim and you with the spiky hair, I might need you." said Flik.
Heimlich was also part of the plan and both Sora and Slim had to carry the large Heimlich as bait, in hopes of luring the Heartless bird away from Dot and Francis.
As the heartless got it's attention someplace else, Flick and some of the others help Francis up. Flick carried a frightened Dot and hands her over to Atta.
"What is that large thing! That's not a bird!" cried Atta.
"It's probably like those shadows." said Gypsy.
After a few horrifying moments, and a few strikes from the group against the heartless, Donald ran over to Sora after Heimlich was dropped on the floor.
"Use your keyblade! That's the only thing that can banish this monster!" cried Donald.
Sora nodded and quickly struck the heartless bird a few times. In a moment, the creature disappered.
After everyone got up to their feet, there was a faint noise from afar.
"What is that?"asked Rosy.
"That my friends is the sound of applause!" cried Manny. The Circus Bugs and the Kingdom Trio were then surrounded by ants as far as the eye could see and they bowed their heads.
"Applause! I"m in heaven!" said Francis.
"Should we leave this world guys? I think this was it." said Goofy to Donald.
"Not yet. We still haven't seen any sign of the King nor Sora's friends." said Donald.
"Do you really think they are in this world? I don't really think so." said Sora.
"But we do need to find the Keyhole to this world." said Jiminy.
"Keyhole?"asked Sora.
"The heart of the world. We need to lock it. If we don't, then the Heartless will destroy this world." said Jiminy.
"You never told us that before moron!" said Donald.
"Well now we know. So we just going to hang out with the funny bugs and maybe we'll find what we are looking for." said Goofy cheerfully.
"I guess. I doubt it, but I guess." said Donald.
"I"m with Goofy and Jiminy. We'll try to do this." said Sora.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy were in the same room as the circus bugs. They had to tell the others they were travelers who were lost, and no one seemed to mind. They were all in an infirmary undergroud, watching over Francis who actually did manage to hurt his foot. In a moment, everyone was introducing themelves.
"So you guys are travelers? From where exactly?"asked Francis.
"From... we don't really know. We've been all over the place." said Sora.
"Doesn't really matter. By the looks of it, you guys look like you came from the city." said Rosy.
"So what's going on here exactly friends? Why are you all in this place?" asked Jiminy.
Manny came forward. "Please keep this secret young travelers. We are not who we say we are. We are actually circus bugs from the city. Us being here was a complete misunderstanding, and that young ant, Flik brought us here." said Manny.
"Boy you guys sound like your in a pickle." said Goofy.
"We know, but please keep this to your selves boys. We don't really know if the Ants are friendly or not." said Slim.
"They seem nice to me." said Heimlich.
Sora winked at them all. "Don't worry. We'll keep your secret. Also, who else knows about this?" asked Sora.
"As far as we all know, just everyone in the room. And Flik. He's talking with the Princess." said Gypsy.
"Hopefully we don't get into any more trouble." said Slim.
