Chapter Four: The Brave Heart 2

The Gummi ship came to a screeching halt [can they do that?]. Right in front of

the window loomed the world that housed the jungle king Tarzan. The Deep Jungle was

a dark and mysterious place full of exotic animals and plants. It was beautiful, and just

the right place to find the Prince of Heart. This is where Sora was taught on his first

journey that without a heart, you have no friends. Tarzan taught him that. " I wonder

how he's doing?" Sora thought out loud. Riku and Kairi turned towards him.

" What was that Sora?" Kairi asked him. Sora snapped his eyes to hers.

" Oh nothing, nothing. Come on lets land and go save that Prince of Heart!" He

said.

" Right!!!" Everyone yelled together.

~ In the Jungle ~

Sora walked quietly down the jungle path. 'Oh, this brings back memories.' He

smiled to himself. Riku was with him and so was Kairi. After all, it was her soul mate

that they were here to rescue. After landing, the group had split up and were each given a

flare if they were to find the Prince. So far nothing, but Sora knew they would run into

him soon. He could feel the power of the Heartless getting closer. They were staying in

one place, but they were closing in. Suddenly the path opened into a huge clearing, and

there, right in the middle was a young man surrounded by Heartless. Kairi gasped, " Oh

my! We have to help him Sora!" She grabbed onto his sleeve. Sora smiled kindly down

at her.

" Don't worry Kairi, I'll get rid of them." He lifted her hand off of his shirt and

turned towards the thronging multitude of Heartless. His Ultima Keyblade appeared in

his hands and he charged with a battle cry emitting from his lips. Riku and Kairi watched

in amazement as Sora fought them off all by himself. They had never seen him fight like

this. Well, Riku had, but not really [You know, when Sora fought him in Hollow

Bastion? Well, yeah, Ansem was controlling him then]. A few intense minutes later Sora

stood breathing hard and sweating in front of the young man. His keyblade down by his

hip. The young man looked up at Sora with wide eyes [no fight scenes right now people,

but you'll get one].

" Who are you?" He asked. Sora smiled and wiped his brow.

" I'm Sora. We came here looking for you. Prince of Heart. Tell me, what's

your name?"

" I'm Michael, or Mike for short." Sora helped him up and Mike brushed himself

off. That's when he caught Kairi's eye. "Hey, who's that?" he leaned over to Sora and

whispered.

" Oh that is Kairi, the Princess of Heart. Come on; let's go back to the ship.

We'll explain everything there." Sora smiled and led him to the others heading towards

the ship.

~ Darkness ~

A dark form sat watching our heroes every movement. It crossed its arms slowly

and smirked evilly to itself. " So, they've found the first one. Well, I think it is about

time I reveal myself to them. And destroy the Prince of Light before he can find the

Princess. Haaaaahaaahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha!"
