---Sora53: MUAHAHAHA! We're taking a detour from the regular story at the end here...
Fans: What kind of a detour?
Sora53: -evil grin-
Joe: Can I go home now?
Sora53: I guess if you want to...
Corita: FREE COOKIES!
Joe: YAY!---
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, and I own Corita. Happy? -glares at lawyers-
The Behemoth, as dubbed by Jiminy, was a slow mover, but still very dangerous. A deep growling noise filled the air as the monster took off after Sora. Sora was busy yelling out orders to his teammates.
"Donald, you take the left side! Goofy, follow me! Corita, you stay on the side and heal us!" Sora called out as he ran to attack the Behemoth. His attempts were in vain, however. The Keyblade simply bounced off the creature's thick skin.
"SORA! GET AWAY FROM ITS HOOVES!" Corita cried as Sora stood near the Behemoth, wondering why he hadn't done damage.
"How are we supposed to damage it?" Sora asked, running away from the Behemoth's hooves. Corita turned away from Sora to look at the creature, who was now in hot pursuit of Donald and Goofy.
"Hmm..." She muttered, staring at the monster. "Sora, look at the center horn on its head!"
Sora looked where Corita told him to, and the center horn glittered and shone brightly against the two surrounding it. Sora turned to Corita.
"What do you think?" Sora asked.
"Go for it!" Corita said, pushing Sora towards the Behemoth.
"HEY, YOU BIG, STUPID, OVERGROWN HEARTLESS! COME GET SOME!" Sora cried just as the Behemoth was about to step on Donald.
"Couldn't you have waited a few more seconds?" Corita muttered as the Behemoth turned to face Sora.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
After the Behemoth's weak spot was discovered, defeating him was rather easy. The creature roared in pain as Sora and Goofy sliced away at his horn, and Donald and Corita struck it with magic. Eventually, his horn was completly chipped away, and he teeterd and fell to the ground with a teriffic crushing noise. Sora and Goofy were thrown off, and they landed near where Donald and Corita stood. The creature slowly dissolved into the darkness, and the keyhole was left clear.
"Allow me." Sora said regally, walking through the eerie room towards the keyhole, followed by his friends. Sora held up his Keyblade to seal Hollow Bastion, and a beam of light shot out from the end of his weapon. The light entered the Keyhole, and their ears were met with the familiar clicking sound. The keyhole disappeared, and they were surrounded by total darkness.
"Better get out of here." Goofy said, turning towards the exit. They left the area the same way they came in (without quite so much yelling and fuss) and found themselves back in the room with the glowing keyhole, and some familiar faces waiting for them.
"Sora, you did it." Leon said, grinning. Aerith and Yuffie were also there, looking quite pleased.
"What are you guys doing here?" Sora asked, baffled.
"We came in Cid's ship." Yuffie answered.
"This is our childhood home. We came to see it again." Aerith said with a slight smile.
"It's in worse shape then I feared. It used to be so peaceful..." Leon said sadly.
"Don't worry." Aerith said, seeing Sora and Corita's worried faces. "If we defeat Ansem, all should be restored. Including your island."
"Really?" Sora asked.
"But, it also means goodbye." Yuffie said with a touch of sadness.
"Once the worlds are restored, they'll be separate again." Aerith explained.
"Everyone will go back to where they came from." Yuffie added.
"So we'll visit you guys in the gummi ship!" Corita said.
"It's not that simple." Leon said gruffly.
"Before all this, you didn't know about the other worlds, right?" Yuffie asked.
"Because every world was isolated. Impassable walls separated them." Aerith said.
"The Heartless destroyed those walls. But if the worlds return, so will those walls." Yuffie added.
"Which means gummi ships will be useless." Leon finished.
"So you're saying we'll never...?" Sora said slowly, not able to finish.
"We may never meet again, but we'll never forget each other." Leon said.
"No matter where we are, our hearts will bring us together again." Aerith said.
"Besides, I couldn't forget you even if I wanted to!" Yuffie said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Sora asked as Corita, Goofy, and Donald burst out laughing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
"I can't believe it, Sora." Corita said softly, leaning back in her chair.
"What is it?" Sora asked. Corita sat up again, and turned to face him.
"After all we've been through, and everything we've done...our journey's almost over."
Sora smiled and stood up. "You're right, Corita." He marched up to the cockpit and stood over Donald, who was driving.
"Move over, duck boy!" Sora said, pulling him out of the driver's chair.
"Hey! Only Corita's allowed to call me duck boy!" Donald shouted, pulling at Sora's arm.
"If our adventure's almost over, I get at least one chance to drive the gummi ship in a sane manner!"
"Are you sure you know how?" Goofy asked.
"Please. Donald drives. It can't be that hard." Sora said, grinning.
"I heard that!" Donald called from the back, where he was sitting with Corita, looking grumpy. Corita now had her nose buried in a book.
"Okay, here we go!" Sora said, pushing a bunch of random buttons. "Where are we headed?" he asked.
"Traverse Town." Goofy said cheerfully.
"Here we go! We go left, and right, and...DIVE BOMB!" Sora squealed, sending the gummi ship into a hurling dive bomb.
"You're right." Donald said as he and Corita pulled themselves off the floor. "He IS like you..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------
"Corita? You're still awake?" Sora asked, opening the door to her room.
"Yeah..." Corita said, looking up at Sora. "Be quiet, Kairi's asleep."
"What are you reading?" Sora asked, walking over to her and peering over her shoulder. Corita quickly snapped the book shut.
"Nothing much...you're right, I should get to sleep." Corita said, placing the book down and pulling up her covers. "Goodnight, Sora." She said, switching off her bedside light.
"Goodnight, Corita." Sora said, leaving the room. He walked back to his room, where Goofy was snoring loudly.
About a half hour later, Sora still couldn't sleep. Curious about what Corita had been reading, he quietly tiptoed to the hallway, and gently opened the door to Kairi and Corita's room. He stepped carefully to Corita's bedside, and plucked Jiminy's journal off her bedside table. He then walked back to his room, and turned on his bedside light.
"That's right!" Sora thought suddenly. "Jiminy had said he'd been writing a lot about her lately!"
He carefully opened the book to where Corita had marked the page, and began to read.
World: Agrabah
Day 1
We have finally arrived in Agrabah. It's scorching hot here; I don't know how I'm going to survive. We've already been attacked by waves of Heartless; I was almost knocked off of Donald's hat. We met a princess earlier. She said her name was princess Jasmine. A man named Jafar ambushed us with more Heartless. Hmm...how are these events connected?
Day 2
I've come up with a bio for Jafar! It took me all night: 'He's mean, he's lean, if he was a girl, he'd be queen!' Sora didn't seem to like it much, though. We met up with a magic carpet, and rode it far into the desert. In the desert, we found a man trapped in quicksand. After being attacked by waves of Heartless, the man summoned a genie and wished them all away. What power!
Day 3
We made our way to the Royal Gates, but we were attacked again by Jafar's Heartless monsters after Jafar stole Genie's lamp. Something peculiar happened during the battle, however. Sora summoned Simba, the mighty king of lions, to help during the battle. However, Corita claimed to have felt the effects, too. I infer that this is simply a case of twin hearts, but I suppose we'll never know...
Day 4
We went back to the desert today, only to be attacked by a giant lion head. After it was defeated, we proceeded into the Cave of Wonders. What treasure lies here! Aladdin led us to the main chamber, where Jafar was holding Jasmine hostage. He ordered Genie to kill all of us, except Corita. After the fight, Corita's phobia got the better of her, and we proceeded down to the lava area to defeat Jafar for the final time. Corita's story, however, is a peculiar one (again.) She claims Riku found her, and was acting funny. When I asked her how he was acting funny, she said she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Day 5
Back to Traverse Town! We visited Merlin today. Merlin claimed he'd been doing research on the magic potential Sora and Corita could have together, but Sora seemed relectant to try any magic. Ah well, time will bring changes, I suppose. Tommorow, we're headed off for a new world. It's so exciting!
Sora looked up from Jiminy's Journal and saw that it was already 2:00. Realizing that he only had a few hours before Goofy and Corita got up, he put the journal down and turned off the light.
---Sora53: I believe this calls for a dun dun dun!
Fans/Joe/Riku Fangirls/Sora Fangirls/Corita: DUN DUN DUN!!!
Sora53: Thank you :)
Corita: HEY! SORA FANGIRLS!
Sora Fangirls: Hey, you're Sora's sister, aren'tcha?
Corita: Well, yeah...
Sora Fangirls: So, if you went missing, Sora'd come looking for you?
Corita: I suppose...
Sora Fangirls: -evil grin----
