AN: Hey everybody!! I was able to scan my and my sister's senior pictures on the computer. I made a cheap little homepage that you can access from my profile. Now you can see what I look like. I know I won't be how you imagined me...lol. Oh yes, and many of you think that this world is Bambi. I reread what I wrote and since the buck was in it it did sound like Bambi. But actually it's the forest from Fantasia 2000. I know some people might not have seen it. So, only Selphie Louise got the world right...Fantasia!! So, she gets a prize, any character plushie she wants (tell me in your review).
Mr. Moogle: Holly drew a picture of me in 'paint' on the computer and made me her wallpaper/background. But now she's replaced me with that stupid Rikku girl picture.
aliasfan: Hey, leave Rikku alone! She's the bomb!
Mr. Moogle: Okay, okay!! By the way, Holly doesn't own Kingdom Hearts or any Disney or Final Fantasy character.
Chapter Eight: The Legendary Firebird
"Where's Mesna?" Sora asked as he woke up. He looked around the gummi ship, but he could only find Riku, Vern, and Donald.
"I don't see him anywhere." Donald said.
Vern looked out the window. "There he is!" she yelled. Sure enough, Mesna was sleeping on a tree stump. Or at least they hoped he was just sleeping.
"Mesna! Mesna, are you okay?!" Sora asked, approaching Mesna. He awoke startled. "Hmmm? Oh!" Mesna said, noticing he was outside. "I-I guess I fell asleep outside."
"Well, you're alright?" Sora asked.
"Yah, I'm fine."
"Well, we're going to go explore more of Hawaii. Wanna come?" Vern said.
"Uh, no. I think I'll just stay here." Mesna said.
"You better stay in the ship then. Do you want someone to stay with you for protection?" Sora said, concerned.
"No, I'll be alright." Mesna said, quickly turning around and running into the ship. "What's wrong with him?" Donald grumbled.
"Maybe he's thinking about Jahu." Sora suggested. Just as Mesna was thinking about Jahu, Sora started thinking about Kairi. Where are you Kairi, he thought. Are you making it out okay? Is anyone with you? What kind of adventures are you going through...if you're even alive. Sora had so many questions to ask Kairi. But when he saw her, if he did, he didn't just want to talk to her. He wanted to hold her in his arms, to feel her warm embrace. Look at me, Sora said to himself. Kairi told me not to worry about anything. Our hearts are connected, so we're really not apart. But still, even though she's with me, I can't physically see or touch her.
"Uh, Sora, are you awake?" Donald asked, waving his hands up and down in front of Sora's eyes as he daydreamed.
"Is he even alive?" Vern chuckled. "Hello! Earth to Sora!" She started shaking him.
Sora finally snapped out of his daze. "Huh? Oh, sorry guys. I just took a quick trip to Planet Sora and back. No biggie."
"Well, we need to get a move on!" Donald said impatiently. "We need to see if everything is okay on this world, then we can leave. I don't want to stay here any longer than we have to."
"Me too." agreed Vern. "So, are we ready to go?"
================================================
"So, are we ready to go?" Yuffie asked the group. It was strange to see Goofy away from the usual trio, the princess of hearts, Kairi, back to her full health, and a harmless Heartless, but she got used to it.
"All ready!" Kairi said. She followed Yuffie and Leon as the walked through the winterized forest. They walked behind the buck and Spring, and Goofy, King Mickey, Selphie, and Tidus tagged along too.
Spring did her magic, spreading her arms and bringing springtime to the forest. She started soaring so fast that the others had to break into a run. Everyone was amazed at what the little fairy could do. Flowers started blooming and trees gained their leaves. Grass grew, and already the birds and other wildlife returned.
"This is beautiful!" King Mickey stated.
"You said it! This is a very rare thing to see!" Tidus exclaimed. They finally came to the edge of the forest, which ended with a huge circular mountain with a dip in the middle. It seemed like the dreariest place of the whole forest. But as Spring flew over it, her magic didn't work.
"Nothing's growing!" Yuffie yelled.
"Garsh, maybe we can find out why." Goofy said. Just then, Spring went down into the dip where she approached a twisted, black tree. She searched the area but found nothing. Leon looked tense. "Something's wrong....something's wrong!" he yelled. "Run!"
Selphie looked around for some sort of problem but she found none. Suddenly, a huge red bird engulfed in flames cracked out of the tree.
"I knew it!" Leon exclaimed.
"W-What is it?" Kairi cried.
"It's a firebird! It's gonna destroy everything in the forest! Hurry...to the gummi ships, they're fireproof!" Yuffie yelled.
With all they had, everyone ran through the beautiful forest that would soon be destroyed by the firebird. As they ran, Leon, who was ahead of everyone else, suddenly stopped. He stared back at the destruction they were leaving. "Spring! Spring's still back there!" At that moment they also noticed that her faithful buck was also with her.
"Leon, we have to save ourselves! Spring will be fine!" Mickey said.
"I must go and help her. If the firebird gets a hold on her, we will never see another spring again!" Leon yelled.
"But how will you protect her if you yourself can burn among the flames?" Yuffie asked, trying to persuade him to guard his life.
"I won't let anyone else suffer...not like Rinoa. I couldn't live with myself!" He was about to run when a hand grabbed his arm.
"I'm coming too." Kairi said.
"What?!" Tidus and Selphie yelled in unison.
"I'm a princess. Maybe I can do something. Even though I'm not fireproo-" Kairi stopped. She slowly turned around to Selphie. "Of course! Why didn't I think of it before?!" She pulled Selphie close to her. "Selphie, red nocturnes are fireproof! You can go in there and save Spring and the buck!"
"What? I-I can't. I don't want to get hurt!" Selphie said, scared.
"You won't be hurt." Mickey reassured. "You actually gain your energy from fire. Trust me, I've seen it done a million times."
Selphie looked around. "There's not much time, I've got to go now!" And with that she floated up towards the dismal scene. Everyone else ran as quickly as they could to the gummi ships. Selphie searched the already 1/3 scorched forest for any sign of the two. She didn't see them, but she did spot the firebird. She needed to see if she really was safe among the flames. So she flew straight into the flames and out. As she went through the bird, she wasn't in any pain. She felt herself getting stronger and she suddenly burst out on the other side of the bird. There she finally spotted the little green fairy and her buck, huddled under a rock ledge. No sooner than she found them did the firebird also spot them. It lunged towards them with enormous strength. Everything that touched even the smallest spark blew up in flames.
Selphie thought hard what to do. Fire, fire is weak against water. So I need to bring it to the lake right where Spring was found. "Follow me! It's okay! I know the way!" Selphie led Spring and the buck on towards the gummi ships, then she would lead the firebird to the water. The flaming creature was very fast and cunning, and soon Selphie had to lead the two into a zigzag pattern. Selphie was so tired. She was about to give up when she caught sight of the ships. "There!" she yelled. They separated and Selphie hoped that the firebird would follow her. She slowed down a bit, pretending to be tired, and sure enough, it went in her direction, leaving Spring to be safe in the ship. "Alright! Time to put out the fire!" Selphie cheered as she caught sight of the lake. But how will I get it to go in the water? There's only one way...Selphie flew high up in the air, directly above the lake. The firebird ascended to Selphie's height. Suddenly Selphie flew down closer to the water, with the firebird following close behind. Then she plunged into the water. Another splash came, but this one from the bird.
Once the buck and Spring made it safely to the ship, Leon decided to go out in search of Selphie and to make sure that the firebird was gone. Most of the area was engulfed in flames, so he ventured around the places that weren't. Leon searched until he came to Spring's cave, where he saw a girl facedown in the lake...
