Kingdom Hearts
Ch. 26
Olympus
Junior Heroes
The gang leaves the city and make their way back to the gummi ship. Sora opens the hatch and they all walk in. Jiminy jumped out of Sora's hood and walked to his study to update his Journal. Donald checked the ships repair status. 66% percent complete. Upon reading the findings Donald called out, "We're leaving in the morning."
Goofy went to the kitchen to start dinner while Sora played some videogames. About an hour later Goofy served burritos for dinner. The gang sat down and ate up. Goofy made a smaller miniature serving just for Jiminy. Sora devoured his serving extremely fast. He then spoke while swallowing the last bite. "Hey guys, what do you think it takes to be a true hero?"
Donald looked up at Sora, "Don't talk with your mouth full."
Goofy then remarked, "We'll have to figure it out for ourselves. But we'll know when we figure it out."
Sora knew that as he let his friends continue eating. Jiminy took out a tiny handkerchief from his pocket and brushed his lips. "Don't worry Sora you're a natural born hero. Ever since you got your keyblade you've been kicking butt left to right. But what makes it so amazing is that you had no training prier."
Sora summoned his keyblade and looked at it. "Actually I did have training. I was bred to be a sword wielder ever since I was little. You see in Destiny Islands when you turn five you get to choose any toy weapon you want. I chose a wooden sword. I didn't know this at first but the toy you choose stays with you for life."
Sora sent his keyblade away as he continued talking. "Then when you turn 8 you start training with it. Everyone from my world has to take part in this training. We have to get stronger by building our muscles and are taught how to fight. At that time your toy will stay with you and train with it until your 15. That's when you get the real thing. Picking my toy sword is actually how I met my best friend Riku who also picked the same weapon."
"Heh, you two must go way back," proclaimed Goofy while putting his dish in the sink.
"Yeah we've been friends for years," Sora then twitches a bit and dismisses himself from the kitchen. He goes back to his room and begins to think.
The next morning the ship was ready for takeoff. Everyone gathered in the control room before liftoff. Donald fired up the engines. "Full speed ahead," he cried pulling a lever.
Soon the gummi ship launched at incredible speeds catching Sora and Goofy off guard. They were thrown against the glass dome behind them unable to move. Donald safe in the driver's seat flew up through the sky. He avoided the cloud kingdom hopefully so they don't disturb the gods. The ship wouldn't reduce speed until after exiting the atmosphere. Upon entering space Donald slowed down the ship to a steady speed. Sora and Goofy fell on their faces after breaching from the wall.
Donald looked back and smiled, "How do you like it when you're in the back?" Sora eyes swirled unable to talk back. The ship then preceded to its next destination.
