AN: You'll find that a lot of my chappies switch to different places more than in FDTA. Hope you don't mind that. But I hafta do that because at most times I have a group of characters in 2-3 different places, so I hafta show what's going on in each one. Yah, I know this Jamestown world was short, but eh. Sorry it took me a while to update. I just got a new computer, and then we had to put the internet on it, set it up, etc. So it took awhile. But I'm back!

Disclaimer: Yo no 'own' reino de corazones. I know I spelled that wrong, and I don't know what 'own' is in Spanish, but it means I don't own Kingdom Hearts.

Chapter Five: Help From the Heart

"Pocahontas, get out of the way!" Powhatan said angrily.

"But daddy, I love him!" Pocahontas said forcefully. Powhatan looked surprised, no...shocked. "If you kill him, you'll have to kill me too."

"Pocahontas...I did not know about this." Then he turned to the other Indians and the men at the bottom of the cliff. "People, my daughter speaks with a wisdom far beyond what I could have imagined. We do not have to fight. We are simply people that are very different. There are no savages. Let us make peace now!" Everyone cheered. Powhatan released John Smith, then walked up to Sora and Donald.

"Don't tell me you already..." Sora trailed off.

"That boy?" Powhatan said. "No, I did not beat him. He's just really, really weak and tired. He was tired even before we caught him." Of course, Riku had just recently helped me fight off 5,000 Heartless, Sora thought. Powhatan untied Riku. Riku looked up at his friends.

"W-What's going on?" Riku sputtered out. He looked around with one eye open as Sora and Donald helped him up on his feet.

"It's okay. The English and Indians made up. Let's leave this place now. Vern is here, so you won't have to walk much." Sora explained. They met up with Vern, who was still in the forest hiding in the bushes. They were about to leave on the gummi ship that Donald had hidden when suddenly they heard a noise. It was something big. Suddenly, the biggest bear in the world charged up towards the group, and in its fur was crested the Heartless Insignia.

"Uh-oh, our first Heartless encounter here!" Sora yelled. Donald quickly led Riku inside since he was too weak to fight, then came back out to help Sora. The bear swiped its huge claws at them. "Vern, help us!" Sora yelled. Vern had an advantage since she could fly, and plus the bear was confused when a Heartless such as itself started attacking it. Sora dealt combos and heavy blows on the giant beast, while Donald cast Firaga, the bear's weakness. Vern swooped down on the bear, but the bear swiped his claw at Vern. She fell down to the ground.

Sora climbed on the bear's back since its arms were too short to reach completely behind itself. Donald stood near Vern, still casting his magic. Soon the bear was defeated. Suddenly a Keyhole appeared in the bark of a nearby tree. It was Jamestown's Keyhole. Sora quickly sealed the world, hearing a faint click as he did so, then ran to Donald and Vern.

"There were three huge claw marks on her. I guess the bear was pretty mad that a wyvern was hurting it instead of helping it." Donald said, a little nervous.

Sora knelt down and gently touched Vern's wound. Vern was still breathing, but she wasn't talking either. Suddenly, a white light appeared from the sky. It formed a human body.

"Iqui!" Sora yelled.

"She's okay." Iqui said, smiling, in a very angelic voice. Then she circled around Vern. She was moving so fast that you couldn't see Iqui or Vern, only a blurry white light. Then crystals began to form, and the white light/Iqui flew back into the sky. Vern was still there. But something was different. She wasn't a Heartless anymore. She was her old self!

"Vern, l-look at yourself!" Sora exclaimed.

Vern looked at herself. She smiled. "Aw man, I was getting used to flying." she joked. "I'm glad I'm my old self again."

"There's just a slight difference, though." Sora said, looking away from Vern.

"What?!" Vern said, kind of freaked out.

"Let's go back into the gummi ship and you can look in the mirror." Donald said. The three of them boarded the ship, making sure to keep quiet since Riku was already knocked out on a couch.

Vern approached the mirror with closed eyes. She expected to see horns growing out of her head or bloodshot eyes or something, but when she opened her eyes, she didn't see that. What she did see was three claw marks scratched across her face, just as it was when she was the wyvern. It was slashed diagonally over her eyes and past her lips. It was a pretty long gash.

Sora and Donald waited silently to hear Vern's reaction.

"Oh well." Vern said as if it was nothing. "I'm just grateful that I have my body back." Vern would have never said that when she was on the dark side with Ansem. She would have said, "Now Sora will never love me because I'm so ugly!"

"Wow, you took that lightly." Donald said, surprised.

"I had to. Iqui brought me back from a Heartless. She's the one who stopped me from completely turning into a Heartless. I killed Iqui, Donald. It was my fault. And she saved my life. I had to be grateful with whatever had happened to me." Vern explained.

Whoa, give her the award for most changed person, Sora thought.

===================================================

Kairi awoke in a grassy plain. Kairi tried to remember what had happened. Okay, I remember being on Destiny Islands, she thought. But what else? Her memory came back to her as a wizard flew over her head. "Aaahhhh!" Kairi cried out. Oh wait, that's right. Tidus became the wizard, she said silently to herself. Kairi got up and looked around at the vast field. Nothing was there except grass. "Tidus!" Kairi called to him.

"Hey! Glad to see you're alive." Tidus said, gliding down to where Kairi was.

"Is there anyone else here?" Kairi said.

Tidus responded, "Yah. Selphie's here. She went to look for something. This world can't be all grass."

"So, Sora, Riku, Vern, and Wakka are somewhere else?" Kairi said, wishing she had ended up where Sora was (who wouldn't).

"Not that we know of. But they could be around." Tidus saw Selphie (as a red nocturne) flying towards them in the distance. "Here comes Selphie now! We can find out if she found something!"

Selphie slowed down when she reached the two and hovered above the ground. "Hey Kairi! Good to see you up!"

"So," Kairi said anxiously, "Did you find anything?"

"I most certainly did." Selphie announced.

"Well, what is it?" Tidus asked impatiently.

"A big, white...castle"

=================================================

"The next world's coming up ahead!" Donald said, steering the gummi ship. Riku had finally woken up and looked much better than he did before. Still, after wolfing down some food and questioning Vern about not being a Heartless anymore and about her scratch, he rested some more.

"I wonder what the next world will be like." Vern said, excited. "I hope our friends are there! 'Specially Tidus." Vern wanted to see Tidus so bad, but she still remembered that she never got to tell him about what really happened back on Destiny Islands. She wanted to tell him that she was sorry and that she's a changed person now. Vern hoped she would get that chance.

"Well, we're about to find out." Sora said. Donald landed the ship in a small forest. The trees weren't extremely tall, but there was plenty of vegetation. Sora woke Riku up from his peaceful sleep and dragged him outside.

"The gummi ship should be well hidden in here. Let me go out into the world to see what life is like out there. Then I'll come back so I can use my magic to disguise you guys." Donald said.

"Sounds like a plan. Just don't be out too long." Riku said. Donald left the three standing alone in the forest, but Donald came back a short time later.

"It didn't take me too long to get out of the forest. Man, I think we're gonna have a lot of fun in this world. Not that killing Heartless and worrying about finding our friends or not is fun, but it just seems really interesting." Donald said. "And now, to work my magic." Donald started on Sora first. After he was done, the first thing Sora realized he was wearing was a colorful Hawaiian shirt. He also had on some faded jeans and sandals. Donald and Riku's clothes were similar to Sora's. Vern was wearing a pink top, white skirt, and sandals.

"Alright, let's go out there." Donald said, ready to go back out into the cool world and show the others what was out there.

"Wait!" Vern exclaimed.

"What is it?" Riku asked. He still felt a little groggy, but Vern's yell kinda woke him up.

"I...I don't think I want to go out there." Vern said, looking down.

"Is it because of your scars?" Donald asked. Vern didn't respond, but everyone could tell that was the reason why.

======================================================

Hope you liked this chappie. I liked it better than the first ones personally. Well, go onward to review!
