Me: BE QUIET!!~~
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, I never will own anythin except Corita. WAHAHAHA! I'm too broke to own anything else...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey, Sora." Corita said.
"What?"
"Why haven't we seen any Heartless around here?"
"I don't know..."
Walking up the wooden path to the tree house, the twins were talking, as were Donald and Goofy. Tarzan was walking ahead of all of them.
"Wait a second." Donald said. "What's that noise?"
It was true. A strange noise was coming from inside the tree house.
"Donald, run up ahead and see what's going on!" Corita said.
"Aye aye captain!" Donald said. Donald ran up ahead farther, followed closely by Tarzan. As Donald turned the corner of the wooden path, he let out a loud cry.
"What's the big idea?!" He said as the others caught up. Kneeling there beside Donald was Clayton with his gun. Tarzan ran into the tree house.
"Wait Kerchak! Please!" He said. On the opposite side of the tree house was a large gorilla, and standing next to him was a younger and smaller gorilla. Kerchak turned his back and walked away, followed closely by the other gorilla.
"You don't understand! I was only trying to..." Clayton stuttered. "Ah! A snake slithered by! You see, I saved that poor gorilla's life!" He said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"How could you do such a thing?!?!" Jane roared at Clayton.
"Now, Miss Porter, as I've told you, I wasn't aiming at the gorilla. I-"
"You are not to go near the gorillas again!" she said.
Sora, Goofy and Donald had to drag Clayton back to the tent as Tarzan led them and Corita gave them 'moral support'. (Come on! You can do better than that! Keep dragging!) Now, Jane was yelling at Clayton, obviously.
"All because of one misshap? Come now!" Clayton said, but as he looked around the tent, a 'monkey man', a pair of angry twins, a duck and a dog, all of whom had much experience in battle, and a researcher ready to defend her field of study.
Chuckling softly, Clayton backed out of the tent.
Jane sighed. "If you can't drill it into their heads, might as well intimidate them!"
Suddenly, outside, a gun shot rung in the air. Leaping up, the 5 fighters ran outside to see what had happened.
"Heartless!" Sora cried. Surrounding a gorilla were a new type of Heartless. These looked like small monkeys, and like the others, had the Heartless Symbol on its chest. They turned away from the gorilla to take on the Keyblade master instead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Heartless defeated, the gorilla that they had saved then walked over to Sora.
"Um...hi?" Sora said.
The gorilla held out his hand. There, sitting on the creature's palm, was a gummi block. Sora gently took the block.
"Thank you!" Sora said. The gorilla nodded its head and walked off.
"Well, now we're getting presents from gorillas." Corita said. "This is crazy."
"Well, we should go make sure the other gorillas are safe." Goofy said as Tarzan ran towards the bamboo thicket.
"Follow Tarzan!" Donald cried.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Whew! Well, that was interesting." Sora said.
The team had just saved 5 gorillas, and they were returning to the tent.
"I wonder...why were there no Heartless here before?" Corita asked.
"I don't know..."
Out of the blue, another gunshot rang through the air.
"It came from the bamboo thicket!" Sora called as they ran towards the source of the sound.
When they got there, everything was still.
"It's quiet. Too...hey!" Sora said as Corita covered his mouth.
"If you say that one more time I'll...HEY! LOOK OUT!" Corita cried as a giant leopard lept out of the bushes.
"Not again..." Sora said, holding out the Keyblade, showing that the others should take out their weapons. In the beginning, all they did was stare each other down. Then, the leopard attacked.
"Look out!" Goofy said, running in front of Sora and Corita with his shield. Donald blasted him with fire spells and Tarzan attacked with his spear.
"Take this!" Corita said, showering the ground with thunderbolts.
"I'm getting pretty good at this!" She said happily. Suddenly, she was thrown backwards by a powerful claw. Slamming into the rock wall, Corita did something she'd never done before. She cast cure on herself. Instead of the magic leaving her staff it hovered over it, and then re-entered the staff, and Corita felt the warmth surround her as her wounds healed, and she felt much better.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!" Corita yelled, leaping up and running forward.
Finally, the creature tottered over, defeated.
"Ow...never get hit with a giant paw." Corita said.
"I feel your pain." Sora said. walking over, Keyblade on his shoulder. "We should go check on the tent."
Nodding with agreement, the team left the bamboo thicket and walked back to the campsite.
"Hey, where's Jane?" Sora asked as they entered the tent.
It was true. The tent was empty, exept for the various machines, and the 5 people entering.
"Danger..near. Jane near...near tree house." Tarzan said.
"Sounds like trouble. Let's go." Sora said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What IS that?" Corita asked.
"Good question." Sora answered.
After traveling the path to the tree house, they were stopped when they discovered Jane and a young gorilla trapped in a group of trees. On the trunk of the tree in the middle was a large black fruit, and the place was swarming with Heartless.
"That big black fruit looks suspicious..." Sora said.
"SO HIT IT!" Corita cried.
"Good plan!" Goofy cried as he, Tarzan and Sora took on the giant fruit. Donald and Corita fought off the surrounding Heartless.
The fruit was easily destroyed, and the Heartless that hadn't been defeated vanished. The vines surrounding Jane and the gorilla vanished instantly. The team ran over to them.
"What happened?" Donald asked.
"Clayton came to the tent, and...that's the last thing I remember..." Jane moaned.
"Clayton?" they all cried.
"Let's go find him!" Sora said.
"Please be careful." Jane said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Running to the cliffs, they spotted Clayton there, preparing to shoot the gorillas. Surrounding him were several of the mokey Heartless that had invaded the jungle recently.
"No!" Sora cried, screeching to a halt. Clayton turned his head, and he saw the group of 5 standing there.
"Clayton?" Sora asked as the gorillas scurried off.
"Not Clayton!" Tarzan said. He then made the same grunting noise that Sora had demonstrated for Corita. "Not Clayton!"
With that, the battle began.
The Heartless turned towards Sora and Corita, while Goofy, Donald and Tarzan went after Clayton.
"You know, I'm getting sick of these Heartless freaks following us around!" Corita said, swatting at them with her staff.
"I know, but we don't really have a choice, do we?" Sora said, slicing through them with the Keyblade.
A shot rung in the air as a bullet landed at their feet.
"Whoa!" They cried, jumping out of the way. When they had defeated the Heartless, they joined in with the battle against Clayton. Eventually, he took enough hits and backed away. The hunter then backed up against the cliff wall, while the others stood about 10 feet away, waiting for his next move. Instead of attacking, the cliff wall that he had been resting against exploded, sending bits of dirt and rock everywhere. Behind Clayton now was a small cliff, and beyond that, a vast lake and a huge waterfall.
Tarzan ran at Clayton instantly, but he was thrown backwards by an unseen force.
"Great..." Donald said as Clayton mounted the invisible creature and began to walk towards them.
"Watch out!" Goofy called as the creature took a swipe at them and they all lept in different directions.
"This isn't going to be so easy..." Sora said from behind the rock he and Corita were hiding behind.
"Oh, come on! You're the Keyblade Master! You're going to let an overgrown illusen defeat you?" Corita asked.
"Well, of course not!" Sora said.
"Alright, I'll hit with magic, and you try to get Clayton off it!" Corita said as gunshots rang through the air.
Nodding his head, Sora ran out onto the battlefield. Goofy and Sora then began attacking the invisible monster.
Corita started blasting the enemy with thunder spells, the only spell she could cast well besides cure. Donald, on the other hand, continued to hide behind a large bush.
Corita ran over to him. "You know..." Corita began. "I'm not the only magician on this battlefield..."
"Yeah, yeah, I know!" Donald said, leaping out from the bushes at the worst possible time.
The giant creature swatted at Corita and Donald, who both got swiped back into the cliff wall.
"Ugh..."
"Ugh..."
"Corita....hurry up with the healing!"
"I only have enough MP left to cast it once..."
"SO CAST IT ON ONE OF US!"
Corita lifted her staff in the air, and as the magic left her, she could almost feel the anger boiling next to her.
"WHY'D YOU CAST IT ON ME?" Donald asked.
"Because, you can still fight. I'm out of MP. Go and win!" Corita said.
Donald ran out and joined the fight, as Corita watched in painful silence. Sora spotted her and ran over.
"Here, use this potion." Sora said, tossing it to her. Cortia quickly drank it, and she felt the energy returning to her. By now, Clayton had been thrown off his steed, who had made itself visible. It was shaped like a large chameleon, and, of course, had the Heartless symbol on its chest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After one last slice from the Keyblade and one last fire spell, the hunter was finally defeated. He prepared his gun for one last shot, but behind him came the now visible Heartless monster, who fell on top of him with a sickening crunch. The bluish heart the monster had stolen then drifted off into the clear sky.
Behind them, the gorillas, led by Kerchak, walked onto the battlefield. Kerchak walked up to Sora.
"Huh? Oh...whoa!" Sora cried as Kerchak lifted him up and tossed him onto the small cliff. Corita, Donald and Goofy met the same fate. Tarzan simply climbed up the wall and the gorillas marched off.
"Tarzan home." Tarzan said as he pointed towards the beautiful lake.
"Hey, what's this?" Goofy said, pointing towards a small cave entrance in the side of the cliff.
"I don't know...let's go!" Corita said, leading them inside.
After climbing the walls and vines, the group was led to a small cave. Walking inside, the walls seemed to glow, and in the center was a small wall surrounded by blue glowing butterflies.
"This is your home? But that means-" Sora began, but was cut off by Tarzan.
"The waterfalls..." a voice said behind them as Jane and the young gorilla stepped into view. "They're echoing all the way here!"
Tarzan made the same noise that was the key to the puzzle, and then said "Friends there. See friends."
"Oh! Now I've got it!" Jane said. She tried to make the same noise, but it didn't work too well. "It means heart! Friends in our hearts..."
"Heart..." Tarzan said.
"Oh, so that's what it meant." Sora said, sounding defeated.
"Friends, same heart. Clayton, lose heart. No heart, no see friends. No heart, no friends." Tarzan said.
Sora turned to Donald.
"Sorry about...what I said." Sora said.
"I'm sorry too!" Donald said.
"Yeah, all for one and one for all, right?" Goofy said, holding his friends.
The butterflies then fluttered away from the wall, and left behind was a glowing keyhole.
"Excuse me for a moment." Sora said, breaking away. He walked up to the keyhole, and with a swish of the Keyblade, the keyhole was sealed, and Deep Jungle was safe from the Heartless forever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Please come back and visit us sometime." Jane said.
"No problem." They answered.
Back in the tent, the group was getting ready to head back to Traverse Town.
"Sora, Tarzan, friends." Tarzan said as he handed a gift to Sora.
"Thanks!" Sora said as he held it up. It was what appeared to be a small keychain with a butterfly on the end.
"So, where is your ship?" Jane asked.
"Well, um...not far." Goofy answered.
"Okay. We'll be looking forward to your visit!" Jane said as the 4 friends left the tent.
"So...where is the gummi ship?" Goofy asked.
