TS3: Shadows Fall
Sora's blue eyes flashed with brilliant hues of determination, staring down hatefully at his newly found foe, Mirage. Goofy and Donald joined their friend's side, weapons armed and prepared for whatever attacks this trickster might unleash. Mirage smirked "Quite a brave stand there keyblade master, you seem determined to die". Sora replied "No one has to die here Mirage, all I want is to go back home. But I can't let you hurt innocent people.
Whether this gem belongs to you or to me, I will use every ounce of power in my heart to stop you from resurrecting your master". Baloo and Kit safely held the weary Rebecca Cunningham behind the heroic trio, Rebecca panted weakly from her narrow escape from the jaws of death. Mirage laughed "How very selfish of you foolish little boy. I'll be sure to tell Kairi how you chose to save these fur balls rather then stop me from killing the little brat".
"You don't have the right o say her name you bastard" Sora roared as tears screamed from his fire burning blue eyes, the boy angrily leapt forward. The boy's keyblade swung madly as he prepared to slash the mocking stranger. Mirage glared his eyes and streams of incredible electric energy surged through his pupils, Sora screamed as he was blasted by the thunder beams. Goofy & Donald gasped Sora was blasted right into the waters with a splash.
"Worthless little slug. How truly said it is that such a pathetic love sick creature defeated the all powerful Ansem. How degrading" Mirage said with a scornful sound in his voice. Donald squawked angrily and blasted a blue blast of ice energy from his magic wand at Mirage. "Suck spell creep face" Donald snarled. Mirage's black gloved hand lifted up and stopped the blue ball in mid air, a powerful blast reflected the magic spell right back to him.
Goofy gasped a frightened "Gawrsh", the dippy dog pushed Donald out of the way and slammed his shield in path of the icy blast. But just as Goofy deflected the blast, Mirage was soaring at full speed towards the duo. Donald swung his magic wand at Mirage, only to watch it phase through a dead air shadow version of Mirage who had already appeared behind him. "Donald look GAH" Goofy was silenced by a blast from Mirage's hand.
Goofy dropped into the water as well, leaving Donald's throat now in the ice cold clutching grip of Mirage's black crushing hand. "After I kill you insects off one by one, I'll be more then glad to fish that gem out from Sora's worthless corpse" Mirage said. "Drop that duck NOW" Rebecca screamed as she leapt onto Mirage's back and grabbed his throat. Quickly Donald dropped & breathed a coughing fresh supply of air from his strangled lungs.
Rebecca was now bravely strangling Mirage from behind his cloaked back, strangling the struggling stranger with her arms and purse around his neck. Baloo straightened his flight cap and growled "Hold on Beckers old Baloo is coming in for the touch down". Baloo bent forward and tackle a mighty slam of physical force, Mirage grunted in pain as the tackle shoved him back. "Ms. Cunningham get off" a voice shouted out, Mirage gasped "Sora?!?".
Rebecca immediately dropped her hold across Mirage's neck, suddenly a keyblade burst from the water below and drove itself into Mirage's foot. "AHHHHH" Mirage screamed in ungodly pain as blood seeped from his stabbed foot, Sora was under the docks holding that jabbing keyblade firm. Kit then smirked and unfolded his air disc and immediately charged at Mirage, Kit leapt onto the disc and rode it straight towards Mirage's head.
"UGH little pest" Mirage screeched as the silver foil smashed across his face, briefly tossing his silver hood from his masked face. "Hooray Sora, Kit, come on Goofy now's our chance" Donald chimed. Goofy nodded as he climbed out of the water and back onto the dock by Donald. "Ready old buddy?" "Ahyuck let's do it" "SUPER FIRAGA" Goofy and Donald shouted. Combined the duo's weapons formed a colossal blast of power.
Mirage was engulfed in a powerful explosive ball of unfathomable fire and strength, the fire ball catapulted Mirage screaming into Higher4Hire's office. KABOOM! Sweat drops appeared behind Rebecca's beautiful brown hair with a sigh as she saw her office vaporized, "I hope the insurance covers this". "Well look on the bright side Ms. Cunningham at least were all alive" Kit said brightly, Rebecca nodded with a warm smile "Yeah your right Kit".
Sora gasped as his blue and white gloved hands grasped over the wooden dock boards as he pulled himself out of the water, everyone helped. "Sorry we dragged you into this Baloo, Ms. Cunningham" Sora started as he coughed up some water. Rebecca shook her head "Don't even start Sora, that psycho would have come after us with or without you being here. He still smelled the gem scent on me the last time I put it on around my neck".
Baloo scratched his cap "Hey little buddy don't mean to sound rude but you still got that rock?", Sora nodded pulling it out from his soggy blue shorts. "Good now I saw we take it to the post office and get rid of that sucker once and for all" Baloo said. "Sorry but we can't do that Baloo" Sora replied, Goofy curiously asked "But why? We took care of that Miragee feller". The brown haired boy immediately spotted the rubble in the office moving a bit.
Sora grabbed Donald and Goofy and dragged them along to a running speed, he shouted back to Baloo and the others "Get in your plane and start it up". Baloo, Kit, Rebecca, and Wild Cat took the advice and ran towards the Sea Duck, opening the doors and hopping in as fast as they could move. "Why are we running? There is no way that goon survived that fire ball, it's unbelievable" Rebecca said. Baloo sweated furiously as he started the plane.
"Believe it or not Beckers but I think that Sora kid knows what he's talking about, nothing is going to stop that crack pot until he gets that red rock. That's why he came all this way in the first place. He's not going to give up at any costs but then again neither are we" Baloo said. Rebecca smirked "Wow Baloo I'm impressed, you actually made an intelligent hypothesis for once". Baloo blinked and laughed a bit "Uh gee thanks Beckers..I think".
Red propellers blades and whirring engines buzzed with electric life and fuel smoke fuming from the whirling blades. The Sea Duck flowed over the ocean like a bird spreading it's wings for it's first flight, in no time flat the Duck was air born and soaring high up beside Sora, Goofy, and Donald. Screams and super power charged pulse like explosions roared from the rubble of Higher4Hire. The wooden planks were shattered in a huge blast.
Mirage screamed a mighty roar of rage "GRAHHHHH!". Powerful energy auras of light blue and dark purple, surged across Mirage's dark trench coat like cloak as if it was water. The bright dark energy pulsating inside his shadowy hidden eyes roared with fury, Mirage was fed up with playing games. The time for talk, manners, and games were over. The phantom stranger hissed a sinful snarl of incredible anger, Mirage clutched his hands.
Coldly Mirage began to speak to himself "I've tried to make their deaths quick and painless, but now I'm going to make them suffer for all eternity. How dare these pitiful creatures think they can just walk over me and leave me for dead. Master Solego was the rule of this universe once before, and he shall rule it again. Even if I have to destroy every living creature to do it, but for now I think it is time they see the true nature of my powers HAHAHA".
Meanwhile at Louie's Place..
"Louie I can't thank you enough for saving our furry butts old buddy, we would have been goners if we stayed air born a second more" Baloo said. The Sea Duck floored its engines so fast to escape Mirage, they had burnt up most of their fuel source and needed a safe place to hide out at and refuel. Louie chuckled "Not a problem cuz, just so long as you don't bring the heat over to my side, from what you say this Mirage sounds like a mean cat".
Donald nodded "He's more then a mean cat, he's a wild tiger", "Ahyuck I thought he was just a bad guy, now he's a kitty too?" Goofy asked. Sora smiled and shook hands happily with the red furred ape Louie, "Don't worry Louie we'll be out of your eh fur in no time" Sora said. "Hey like I said short stack no problemo any pal of Baloo's is a pal of mine" Louie replied with a cheery grin. Kit was stuck deep in thought scratching his blue cap.
"Hey little britches what's up?" Baloo asked, Kit simply sighed "I'm just worried about how were supposed to stop this guy papa bear. I mean he's more dangerous then both Shere Khan and the Air pirates put together". Rebecca nodded "Kit's right and if they bring back Solego then we won't be the only ones in danger, the whole planet will be toys to that maniac". A confident smile painted Sora's face as he said "That's not gonna happen.
I refuse to let what happened to all those other dimensions happen here again, no Heartless or Lost Soul will be touching anyone from now on. Since I got us into this mess Goofy, Donald, I'll be the one to get us out of it". Goofy and Donald asked in confusion "Sora what do you mean?", Sora smiled as he replied "I'm going to track down all of the 5 Lost Souls and stop each one of em. Not one of them will get their hands on those rocks.
Now guys I want you 2 to head back home and continue your search for King Mickey, this is my fault not yours. So I don't want you guys to get" Sora suddenly stopped. Donald and Goofy were already shaking their heads at Sora's request, sporting the same eager smile on their faces as his own. Goofy laughed "Awe shucks Sora I thought you knew us better then that, we ain't leaving you now. Were all in this together no matter whose fault it is".
The blue sailor/wizard duck Donald quickly agreed, "Goofy's right besides you're our friend and friends don't ditch other friends when they need help. Those creepoazoids are going to come after our home world too, and we can't abandon you or our kingdom now". "Yeah and besides our royal highness told us to follow the keyblade master and that's you" Goofy said. Baloo laughed a happy chuckle "Looks like you're stuck with em kiddo".
Tears were starting to form in Sora's beautiful blue eyes, the affectionate display of friendship proved too much for the young lad. He didn't want his friends hurt by his own foolish curiosity and still there willing to follow him. "Oh (sniffle) you guys..thanks I, I don't know what to say" Sora said with tears of joy. Rebecca giggled "I think the word you're looking for is thanks", Sora wiped his eyes and smiled as he said just that "Thanks guys".
"ATTENTION CITIZENS OF CAPE SUZETTE" before the happy trio could hug in their warm friendship loving embrace, a voice shouted to them. A very familiar voice that was literally screaming inside their heads. "AHH what's that horrible sound?" Rebecca screeched as she held her head tightly. Wild Cat blinked "Wow you guys can hear it too, I just thought it was my hair talking out loud". Sora stammered out in pain "Ugh I think it's Mirage".
"AH HA YES! Now once more attention citizens of Cape Suzette, I have a very important announcement to make. Now don't bother looking for me you nasty little perverts, I'm now where to be seen at the moment. I am speaking to all of you right now through the power of mental telepathy. Allow me to introduce myself, I am the great and mighty Mirage, 1st member of the Order of the Lost Souls. I am now in control of your city.
Your beloved power hungry ego-maniac Shere Khan is taking a small nap, but don't worry he'll be paying you all a visit once this ordeal is over. As the stone statue he is at the base of your wretched city HAHAHAHAHA! Now upon turning your beloved war monger into stone I have also taken control of his central building, Khan Tower. But the reason I am here today is to alert you to a certain pest problem that has recently come to my attention.
I am now mental projecting you images of the ones known as Sora, Goofy, Donald, Baloo, Kit Cloudkicker, and Rebecca Cunningham. It is these people whose blame you are to place upon in case any unfortunate or cataclysmic accidents may befall upon your worthless little lives. Upon my arrival, these 6 rodents stole a very valuable and rare gem from my grasp. Now they have escaped my sight which is where I need you all to step in.
I am proposing an ultimatum to the city of Cape Suzette, bring me back the red stone along with the 6 thieves who stole it in the first place. You have 3 hours to bring this stone back to me before your time is literally up. If you do not bring me back the stone and the trouble makers within 3 hours, then I will obliterate Cape Suzette and every living thing in off the face of the Earth. You have 3 hours starting now, and remember the clock is ticking.
"BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
