TS4: Skies of Thunder
Dark skies billow over the terrified eyes of Cape Suzette's citizens; darkness was filtering over them like a storm was forming. Metallic arms clang loudly as the large clock dings on the final hour of Mirage's ultimatum. The shadowy stranger stood at top of Kahn tower, bathed in the chills of the night in his dark trench cloak. "Time is up boy, show yourself before I MAKE you" Mirage coldly hissed, crossing dark arms in failing patience.
Suddenly a large yellow plane zoomed across the shadowy city, Mirage blinked under locks of silver hair as he spotted the pilots inside the plane. Sora, Goofy, Donald, waving and making goofy eyed gestures at him, flying the plane was the 3 bears he had met before Rebecca, Kit, and Baloo. On the back of the soaring Sea Duck was a white tagline, it read in bold black letters "Come and get us if you can COWARD". Mirage growled fiercely.
"HOW DARE YOUUUUUURAHHH" Mirage roared as he literally sky rocketed off into the night sky. A powerful surge of raw dark electrical energies surged around his cloaked form, empowering him as he soared after the taunting air craft. Baloo sweated feverishly with a gulp "Kid I sure hope you know what the hell your doing because he sounds plenty pissed". Sora nodded with a serious face "Don't worry Baloo; we can take care of Mirage.
Just needed to get his attention so he'd leave the city first" BOOM! A colossal crunch of metal and sizzling could be heard, as Mirage savagely bashed his black gloved fist through the back metal door of the sea duck. "Uh I think you got his attention all right" Kit said nervously. "Don't worry I'll take care of him" Donald said, raising his magic wand in the air and twirling it in a magical fashion. Donald blasted the hand with a fire spell.
The miniature fire ball exploded on contact and singed Mirage's hand, he snarled and removed it from the hole left in the metal door. A beaming beak on Donald's face smirked widely "Never mess with THIS duck". Two more large fists suddenly bashed into the metal door, colossal cracks brimming with energy spread over the door like a spider's web. Soon following was an explosion as the door was blown literally into pieces, Mirage was inside.
Sora screamed for the others to hang on, as the air pressure in the plane immediately tried to suck them outside into the whirling winds of the hole. Baloo winced as he gripped the handles tightly, trying to keep the plane from going down while others clinged to metal bars and bolted down chairs. Whirling winds dragged and tugged at the heroes failing fingers, but Mirage continued to storm forward as if unaffected by the hurricane like winds.
"A coward am I?" Mirage hissed as he blasted a stream of electric beams from his hidden eyes, the thunder beams struck the plane's control panel. "WAHH" Baloo screamed as he felt the thundering shocks course throughout his body with in several painful seconds of mass electrocution. Rebecca screamed and tried to pull Baloo's hands from the controls, only to shriek as she was shocked as well. Kit screamed in fear "NO papa bear".
Goofy and Donald both looked at each other with a hateful nod and glared towards Mirage, "CHARGE" they screamed as they charged forward. Mirage simply smirked and leapt in the air the second Goofy and Donald swung their shield/wand weapons at him. Dark fingers form 2 blue energy spheres as Mirage landed with his back to the charging heroes, then folding his palms backwards and blasting them. Donald and Goofy were blasted out.
Sora's blue eyes widened in horror to see his friends fly out in the cyclone winds of the thundering dark sky. Mirage smiled "Child's play", "Play with this mister" Kit said as he slammed a red button on the side of the plane's wall. A compartment in the ceiling opened up to reveal a long piece of brown rope with a white bar attached to it, Kit then unfolded his flight disc. Kit's brown bear legs leapt onto the disc, grabbed the rope, & held on tight.
Mirage's eyes widened as he suddenly found his face being bluntly slammed with the air foil disc, as Kit had plowed the thing right into his hooded face. The pull of the winds and force of the air had given kit's little air stunt enough strength to properly slam Mirage right out of the plane. "That was for papa bear creep face" Kit murmured as he sky rode above the clouds. Slowly Sora lifted his keyblade from Baloo as he finished his healing spell.
The young boy patted Baloo on the back and smiled warmfully at his recovery, "Glad your okay Baloo now I want you to take Kit and leave". "WHAT, are you nuts kid? You can't beat that wacko on your own, he's got more sparks then a firefly in heat" Baloo said. Sora shook his chocolate brown haired head, his young cheeks and face determined in its appearance. "Mirage is after this stone not you guys, I can't endanger you guys anymore.
Once you reel Kit back in, go back to your office and stay in the safest place you can find, I'm gong go find Donald and Goofy so we can fight Mirage together" Sora said as he turned his back to them and walked to the hole. Rebecca stammered "But you can't do that, I may not be your mother Sora but I know a child when I see one. Your young, your still a kid, you don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, it's not fair to you".
A single tear dropped from Sora's cheeks as he turned to Rebecca with a half happy, half sad smile as he said "I know..but that's destiny for you". And with that, Sora's yellow shoes left the metal floor as the young lad soared out to find his friends and find Mirage as well. "Looking for me keyblade master?" Mirage said as he grappled Sora's bare ankle tightly. The young boy struggled and squirmed but was forcefully pulled downwards.
"Or maybe me instead?" a 2nd? Mirage said, Sora gasped finding both his legs being hold down by the twin dark gloved hands of Mirage. Then his arms were grabbed by more hands, and more Mirages, Sora was being held by 4 Mirages. "Oh man this can't be good" Sora said with a nervous swallow, he gasped as one of the Mirages yanked the red ruby from his blue pocket. The Mirage that held the glittering stone in his dark palm smirked.
Chuckling out loud as Mirage watched his clones hold Sora down, this was the real Mirage. "And just what kind of trick is this Mirage? Smoke and mirrors pun?" Sora snarled, Mirage laughed "Some keyblade master can't even tell what a Mirage is and what reality is. It just so happens that each member of the Order of Lost Souls clan has his own unique magical ability. Gifts from our glorious master, one that you have tried valiantly to stop.
You've got quite a heart of gold there Sora" Mirage stopped speaking, he then laughed as he jammed his black fist seemingly right into Sora's body. The dark man's fingers didn't even slice Sora's flesh; he just jammed his fist into his heart as if Sora was nothing but pure energy. "Let's see how it looks painted BLACK" Mirage cackled as Sora began to become pale and very weak. Shuddering struggling moans and shivers escaped Sora's dying lips.
"Hang on good buddy, were coming" "AEEEIHOUEY" 2 familiar voices shouted out as Goofy and Donald immediately tackled the striking Mirage. The hooded man screamed and battled Donald and Goofy like flies with his flailing arms, Mirage's right left fought desperately to hold onto that stone. Sora gasped as a huge gush of air filled his young lungs again, and suddenly his blue eyes sparkled "Guys? AH THE STONE", Sora soared towards it.
A flashing blade of silver slashed across the shadow man's hand, screams and black blood told Mirage's pain only too well as he watched the gem drop. Sora dove down with all of his young blood pumping quickly in his gold heart, wincing as his sweat trickled off dark brown hair locks. Mirage snarled and immediately dashed after the boy. "Oh no you don't" Donald started before both he and Goofy were blocked off by 2 new Mirage clones.
Mirage clones: Oh yes he does..

Sora's Thoughts
This is so weird, I feel sick almost, like Mirage was draining all the goodness out of my heart. I almost forgot about who I was, why I was here, and what I was doing. Ugh! NO! Can't think like that, can't start blacking out now Sora, Kairi..she's waiting for me, she's still out there and she is waiting for me I KNOW IT! Don't worry Kairi, soon as I find Riku and wrap up this gem shard mess, I'll be back..just like I promised you.
******
The falling red crystal silently swerved in the air, waiting to be claimed by one of its 2 free falling flying followers. One dark, one light. Both of them knew that losing this gem would cost them a great deal of dread, as well for the rest of their worlds and friends. Failure was not an option. The dark clouds formed over then like spiders weaving a ghastly web to swallow them whole. Sora and Mirage were up side to side now, both of their hands stretching out desperate for that red jewel. Mirage growled "Back off boy".
A thrusting back hand slammed Sora across his cheeks; he winced in pain as he was violently shoved back. Mirage opened his black glove palm open, dark grey cloak fluttering in the wind as ripples splattered over the coat. "Fair is fair CREEP" Sora said as he slashed down his keyblade onto Mirage's back. The boy watched with a brief pant of satisfaction, seeing the dark hooded warrior crash down into the watery oceans with a large splash.
The red gem was then snatched by Sora's white and blue gloved fingers, grasping bare digits over it as he sighed with relief, "That was close". Blue eyes looked forward; Sora spotted Higher4Hire not too far from him. Slowly buy surely Sora began to fly towards the crumbling docks, only to suddenly feel a bolt of lighting strike violently against his right arm. Sora turned around and spotted a raging Mirage blasting bolts of lighting from his hands.
Winces and painful grunts escaped Sora as he tried best he could to dodge the striking lighting blasts, but his heart was fading into dark nothingness. Whatever Mirage had tried to do to his heart was crippling him severely, Sora gulped as he had trouble keeping his eyes open or staying afloat. Mirage capitalized on this and landed a direct thunder blast on Sora's back, causing him to cry out in pain as he skidded across the water's surfaces.
Immediately taking advantage of this, Mirage snatched the jewel before it sank into the ocean along with Sora, who was at the moment floating there. The boy was lying on his back and weakly kicking his legs to keep from falling into the water, "I huff puff can barely breathe" Sora weakly stated. "Really? Then in that case I guess I shouldn't be doing THIS" Mirage said, wrapping both black fists across Sora's neck and strangling him fiercely.
Bubbles burst out from Sora's weak voice as he gargled and began to choke in the water's suffocating hold on him. Electricity sparked over Mirage's digits, merely adding more pain and torture to Sora as Mirage laughed. "Say goodbye to Kairi and Riku because once Solego returns, I'll make sure he squashes them next, that way you won't be alone in death" Mirage said. "Sorry but we don't say goodbye here we just say SO LONG" a voice said.
The booming sound was Baloo's voice over a microphone, "But that means?" Mirage started before he gasped in horror as he turned around. Baloo, Kit, and Rebecca grappled their furry fingers over what they could, seeing as how they were literally ramming Mirage with the entire Sea Duck. The hooded Mirage screamed as the red nose cone of the plane jammed into his small body, Baloo sweated furiously as he pumped the engines faster.
"Baloo what in blazes are you doing? Were heading right for Higher4Hire" Rebecca gasped, Baloo simply smirked replying "Bet your nose we are Beckers. This guy just doesn't seem to take a hint so I'm gonna make sure it comes out loud and clear, even if we lose the duck in the process". Kit nodded firmly "Papa bear's right Ms. Cunningham, we owe it to Sora and the others to stop him before he tries to hurt anyone else..like Molly".
The sound of her young daughter immediately flashed images of her sweet child before Rebecca's eyes, and then the thought of Mirage with her came next. Rebecca shuddered "Your right Kit, Baloo? Ram that piece of trash into board", Baloo laughed "Now you're talking my language, HANG ON". The whirring engines of the Sea Duck drowned out the screams of agony howled at by Mirage, as he and the plane itself were plowed into the docks.
Millions of piles of wood literally shattered and exploded all around them, the building collapsing and burst apart as the plane crashed through it. Baloo, Kit, and Rebecca screamed as they leapt out of the back door of the plane at the last second, splashing down into the water as the plane crashed. Eventually the bears gasped for breathe as they surfaced above the water again; Baloo coughed up a few fishes from his snout "Yuck barforama".
Wild Kat's dippy dark haired hair dropped down as the goofy mechanic blinked oddly at the water logged pilots, "Uh you guys need to wait an hour after flying before swimming you know". Meanwhile back over seas, Goofy and Donald were flying back down to rescue Sora as he remained sinking endlessly down into the waters. "Gawrsh Donald what if Sora is (gulp) you know?" Goofy asked, "Don't even think that Goofy just don't" Donald said.
The sight of the young boy sinking lifelessly down into the seas became clearer and fainter at the same time. Donald and Goofy cried out their fallen friend's name as they dove their hands into the water, grasping over Sora's hand, the same that held the red rock. And as Sora lay there dying, his whole young life seemingly fading away as his little heart slowed its beating, he had a dream. A dream that forced his blue eyes to jerk wide open and alert.
Gasps escape Donald's beaked lips, Sora then uttered a single word "Kairi". The red gem began to glow bright, energy surged around it like a firefly, a blinding flash of red light consumed the trio and then they were gone. Kit coughed as Baloo helped him up, "Papa bear what about Sora & and the others?". Baloo looked out to the sea, but even under the eye of his grey paw, he couldn't see any shapes in the water. "There gone man" Baloo said.
"Gone, what do you mean gone? They can't just be GONE, gone, what happened to them?" Rebecca asked in confusion. Baloo shrugged "Exactly what it sounds like there gone, like REALLY gone. I don't even see a trace of Sora or his buddies". Kit asked worryingly "Baloo, Ms. Cunningham? Do you think that there all right, I mean wherever they are, are they safe?". Baloo and Rebecca sighed as they lightly hugged Kit, patting his back a bit.
"Of course they are Kit, we may not know them that well but I know that they can take care of themselves" Rebecca said, Baloo nodded "She's right little britches. I'm sure there doing just dandy wherever they are, just be glad that tall dark and Looney tunes is out of the picture". The bears look out along the seas, preying for nothing but the best for Sora, Goofy, and Donald. Totally unaware of the bubbling gasps of air below their ruptured docks.
Near the sidewalk of the street, a black hand covered in dripping water emerged and a gasp of breathe came to life. The rain soaked hood of Mirage appeared from the waters, his face drenched with wood chips and black dripping blood. Mirage's left arm was totally torn off, leaving nothing but a torn jacket sleeve coated with black blood all over it. Mirage panted "Fools, I knew they (gasp for air) didn't have the heart or power to take a life away".
"I know" a voice said in front of Mirage, the hooded stranger gasped as he stared down at dark pair of pants and orange stripped fur. The man's mumbled gasps of terror caught his voice off guard, he was speechless at the furry fanged face before him. The sound of clicking claws popped out of the orange furry man's paws as he raised them up high. "I on the other hand" Shere Khan said with a sneer as he slashed down his claws across Mirage.
The shadowy stranger screamed as he felt his head sliced apart from the claws, the cloak dropped into the ocean with the body seemingly gone. Black fumes oozed out of the sinking trench coat, it seemed when they die their bodies become some sort of black smoke instead of leaving a corpse. Shere Khan looked crossingly at the cloak, and then at the black sky as her frowned "I am not amused by this..no I am not amused by this at all".
