Kingdom Hearts 2
Chapter IV - Honest John's Fall
Here's Chapter Five ~! ~
Sora ran and ran until he came back to Evergreen Neighborhood. "Well, what too you so long, Sora?" said someone from behind him. Sora turned around. It was Pete!
"How d'you get here so fast?" panted Sora.
"Oh nothing," he said, "Just a secret passageway."
"What!" yelled Sora, still panting, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Well, you were already leaving," admitted Pete, "And I didn't want to bother you."
Sora felt a little annoyed. "Whatever," he said, "Do you know where Honest John is?"
"Never mind that for know," Pete added, strictly, "C'mon with me so we can buy you guys some potions." Donald shrugged his arms (Donald and Goofy had just arrived.)
"Why do we need potions?" he asked.
"Honest John is a brave and cunning fighter," said Pete, "And you guys are out of practice."
Everyone then agreed to get potions. Their first stop was the Healing Shop. As they walked in, they heard someone yell, "Oooh, a customer, ya!"
Sora quickly ran in. "Wakka? Is that you?" he called.
"Ya, and Tidus and Selphie, too, ya!" said Wakka.
"What are you guys doing here?" asked Sora.
"Well, Destiny Islands was taken over by these soldier things with a hear- sign on their chests. How romantic!" sighed Selphie.
"I tried to kill 'em with my red stick-thing," bragged Tidus, "But they were to strong for my weak body."
"Why are you bragging that you're weak?" asked Goofy.
"Uh, um." Tidus pondered, "Well, uh, SHUT UP! What's your problem? Man, you're so mean and rude!"
"Okay." said Sora, sarcastically.
"Well, anyway," interrupted Pete, trying to change the subject, "Can we buy some potions?"
"Potions?" laughed Selphie, "What kind of healing shop sells potions? We only sell items that recover your health, not potions! How romantic!"
Donald rolled his eyes. "OK," he mumbled, "C'mon, let's go."
"We didn't buy any potions!" yelled Goofy, "We should get some!"
"Look, Goofy, we have to get going," said Sora, pushing Goofy toward the door.
The four walked outside and stared back into the window of The Healing Shop. "That was sure a strange crew," admitted Pete, "Was everyone that dopey on Destiny Islands?"
"No way," laughed Sora, "Hey, wait a second, how did you know I lived on Destiny Islands?"
"A wild guess?" suggested Pete.
Everyone laughed and walked across the street to another shop, hoping to find some potions. Meanwhile, Wakka, Selphie, and Tidus were inside the Healing Shop talking.
"Is he gone?" quietly whispered Tidus.
"Ya, and he didn't even know you were there!" laughed Wakka.
"Man, did we fool him! How romantic," giggled Selphie.
"Ya," answered Wakka.
"Silence!" roared a deep female voice.
"Sorry, Maleficent. We're just really excited. We fooled Sora and all," grinned Tidus.
"One fool will do NOTHING!" Maleficent bellowed, "Now get back to work, you imbeciles! Except you, Wakka, I have a little errand for you to run."
~*~*~
Sora and company had just bought potions and were heading toward Redwood Neighborhood. As soon as they approached the large sign indicating their location, they already were feeling frightened. "Gawrsh," muttered Goofy, "This place sure is spooky."
"Sh!" whispered Pete. "Honest John's hideout is just ahead. We don't want to let him on to what we're doing."
They continued on quietly for a couple of minutes, and then headed into a large warehouse-type building. "Geezes! This place is crawling with Mega- Heartless," muttered Sora as he crept along the small hallway slashing away at the small shadows.
"Sh!" quietly shrieked Pete, ushering them to go on.
This is like a big maze, Sora thought to himself, How are we ever gonna get out? I guess I'll keep following Pete.
After lots more walking, they reached a fork in the road. Goofy pulled it out, picked it up, and placed it in his pocket. "Hey Donald," he whispered to Donald, " I found something else for my silverware collection!"
Then came another fork (the kind where two paths split). "OK, Donald and I go left," commanded Pete, "Sora and Goofy, go right!"
Sora and Goofy continued on quietly. They suddenly reached a large room with high ceilings. "Going somewhere, ya?" asked a voice.
"Wakka? Is that you? Are you trapped?" called Sora, staring up, looking for a sign of Wakka.
"No, ya, I'm not trapped, but I'm gonna get you," he smiled, dropping down from a rafter.
** Boss II - Wakka ** ** HP - 250 EXP - 100 **
"Wakka what are you doing?" shrugged Sora. It was too late, Wakka already attacked!
Wakka's fight was similar to the duels on Destiny Islands. He constantly threw large wooden balls at Sora and Goofy, but they were able to send them right back at him. This drained up most most of his HP. Occasionally, he would get kncked out, and Sora and Goofy slightly hurt him.
In no time the old friend was laying on the ground, begging for mercy. "Oh please," he cried, "Spare me!"
Sora felt betrayed, "How could you do this?"
Wakka sighed. "OK, ya got me. Well, one day on the Destiny Islands, ya, about a hundred small little shadows came looking for either, ya, Sora or Riku. I told, ya, them you guys weren't there, ya, so they threatened to kill us, ya.
"Then, ya, Maleficent came and made a deal with us, ya. If we were her servants and bring us to you, ya, she would "reward" us. Then, ya, she told me to stop you, ya. But, ya, I failed. So, ya, here I am?"
"D'you wanna come with us?" chuckled Goofy.
"Oh no," answered Wakka, shaking his head, "Go along. I have to meet up with Tidus and Selphie, ya."
"Okay," smiled Sora, relieved Wakka wasn't coming, "C'mon Goofy, let's go."
~*~*~
Donald and Pete crept along the dirty stairs quietly. Their path consisted of winding downward stairs, which probably led to a sewer. Sure enough, they soon came to an underground cavern filled with murky water and rats.
"Yuk!" whined Donald, looking at where he was stepping.
"Look!" yelled Pete, pointing forward, "A light!"
"Yes!" they cheered. Both of them ran forward, hoping to find a way out.
Donald ran ahead. He quacked in glee as he waddled toward the light. Suddenly - WHACK - He was knocked over by soon big, hairy thing. "Hey you," he yelled to it, "What's your problem, you wanna fight?"
"Oh sorry, Donald," dopily said Goofy.
"Listen!" shouted Pete.
"Help! Oh help! Where's my Pinocchio?" cried an older man's voice.
"Gepetto?" called Sora.
"Oh, Sora, come here. I'm in the lighted room," he called back. Sora and Pete ran ahead while Donald and Goofy followed. Once in the room, they saw a tied and gagged Gepetto. They released him, and he stood up to stretch.
"Thank you, Thank you," he kindly smiled, "Do you know where Pinocchio is?"
"No, he was kidnapped by a fox named Honest John. We're following him right now," explained Donald.
"When you find him can you please bring him back?" requested Gepetto.
"Sure," nodded Sora, "We have to get going now. It won't be long - I promise."
They continued along the damp path. After a few minutes they came to a large metal door, which was slightly ajar. As Sora opened it, it squeaked. "What was that?" called a voice - Honest John!
Sora stepped inside. He saw Honest John with Pinocchio, a bald man, and Maleficent! "Hello, Sora," crackled Maleficent in a sinister way, "I was expecting you, of course. Honest John, get them!" Then, she disappeared.
"Sora, you might of beat Gideon, but you'll never defeat me!" he called, pulling out a dagger.
** Boss III - Honest John ** ** HP - 300 EXP - 200 **
Honest John's main weapon was his dagger. The battle resembled Sora's previous one with Captain Hook. Honest John swiped here and there, attacking everything which got in his way. Pete pulled out a large blade, which he used to slash Honest John.
Honest John was rapidly losing HP, so he ran back and hurtled his dagger at Donald. It hit Donald, of course, and he became knocked out (Like that never happens).
Sora managed to sneak up behind him, and after a few hits, Honest John was on the ground. "My aching bones," he wailed as he tried to get up.
His henchman ran away shortly after his boss's defeat, and Sora walked up to Pinocchio. "Are you OK, little guy," he kindly asked.
Pinocchio nodded and tightly grasped Sora left hand. "I miss my daddy," he cried.
Sora followed Donald back to Gepetto, with Goofy and Pete following behind. When Pinocchio saw Gepetto, and ran up to him to embrace him in a hug. After a warm reunion, Sora and company left Redwood Neighborhood and headed back to Evergreen.
Chip and Dale were waiting on the gummi ship. "C'mon!" yelled Chip, "We're behind schedule!"
Sora turned to Pete. "Thanks so much, I guess I'll see ya soon."
"Yep," nodded Pete, "Here's a gift from Yammie, Eithra, and me."
*Sora obtained 'Mysterious Amulet'*
Sora grinned, "Thanks, now I got two amulets! Closer to those magnificent magical powers!"
"Sora, we're due for French Town!" called Donald from inside the gummi ship, "Let's get going!"
"Bye!" waved Sora, running toward the gummi ship. Pete, Yammie, and Eithra waved back, and Sora couldn't wait for the next adventure.
~*~*~
"Darn!" furiously yelled Maleficent, looking into the crystal ball. "I though Honest John could take care of things! Well, Osario, I minor setback, I suppose."
"Yes," evilly grinned Osario, "Minor."
