Kingdom Hearts: Warriors of Light

Neverland-Chapter 27

After many hours of flying through space, Donald was able to track down Neverland. Because the world was a pirate ship, always in motion, it was hard to track it down. Ti-Day had been eagerly searching for the world out the windows the entire time, whereas Sora, Hercules and Pom-Pom fell asleep out of boredom. The crowded ship was hardly a joy to travel in. But everyone was more than excited to know Donald was now headed straight for a landing in Neverland.

The only place to land the Gummi Ship was on the top deck. The deck was looking rather abandon without a pirate in sight. "Strange, you'd think there would be at least one pirate out here," Donald said looking around suspiciously. Sora and Hercules were still trying to wake up as they stumbled around the deck. Sora stretched out his arms into the sky looking up as he did so. Something caught his eye. A shadowy figure flew over top of him through the sails.

"Huh?" Sora said staring at the sky.

"What? Did you see something?" Ti-Day asked looking anxious.

"Yeah," Sora answered. "At least I thought I did."

"FREEZE!" Ti-Day shouted hoping to hit something. If it was a heartless, they wouldn't want it to hang around and prevent them from finding Captain Hook.

"Ahhh!" said a voice in the sky. "That wasn't very nice."

"Who are you?" Sora shouted to nothing.

"Name's Pan. Peter Pan," a boy said suddenly appearing out of nowhere giving everyone a heart attack. His ears were a bit pointy and his hair was a reddish-brown. He was dressed in green rags and tights. "Are you pirates?"

"Nope," Goofy said. "We came to find Captain Hook so he could tell us where our friend is."

"That old codfish? I doubt he knows anything," Peter said laughing.

"What brings you here?" Sora asked. "You don't really look like a pirate either."

"Well you see, Hook thinks he can get away with capturing my friend Wendy, but he's got another thing coming. I came to rescue her," Peter explained.

"If we help you, will you take us to Hook?" Ti-Day asked. He was more worried than ever about Ni-Ne.

"Sure," Peter said. "They've trapped Wendy down below, so we'll have to make our way down there." Peter leapt off the ground and suddenly started flying. Everyone stopped in their tracks amazed that Peter could actually fly. "You guys comin?"

"How'd you do that?" Sora asked for everyone else who stood in pure wonder.

"It's easy," Peter said. "Just think a happy thought and add a little bit of pixie dust. Come over here Tink!" A little fairy flew onto the scene. She was glowing gold and seemed to sparkle. She flew a few circles around the group of warriors. Ti-Day immediately thought of finding Ni-Ne as his happy thought and was magically lifted off his feet. "There, you got it!" Peter said watching Ti-Day rise off the ground.

Sora thought hard about hanging out with Kairi and Riku on the beach of Destiny Island. He too lifted off the ground. Donald, Goofy and Hercules closed their eyes to think hard and rose off the deck as well. Pom-Pom floated around uncontrollably as he was always happy and energetic. He did a few circles around Tinker Bell thinking she was just some little float creature like he was. It took a moment for every to get the hang of moving, but soon they were all flying behind Peter as he lead the way to the entrance of the pirate ship.

"In here," Peter said landing beside an opening in the deck. He leapt in without hesitation while everyone else leapt in behind him one at a time. They were then inside the ship. Some doors were present, but they couldn't just open any one incase pirates were waiting on the other side. "Follow me, and stay quiet," Peter said flying slowly past the doors. He leaned against one with his ear to listen for anything on the other side. Just as he did, a swarm of heartless appeared to clutter the walkway.

"Oh no," Sora whispered. Trying to keep quiet was a lost cause as they were forced to battle the heartless to rid them. The clashing weapons were very loud, yet no pirates came to check what was going on. Peter proceeded to open the door he'd been listening through and ushered everyone in to abandon the heartless battle. Closing the door behind him, Peter and the others now found themselves in a storage room. There was a smaller door across the way that Peter flew for at once.

"Wendy? Are you in there?" Peter asked looking through a very small hole in the door.

"Peter! How did you ever find me down here?" a girl's voice sounded from the other side of the door. It was Wendy who had been captured by Captain Hook.

"Wendy? Who's that in there with you?" Peter said as he scanned the little room through the tiny hole.

"How bout just opening the door first?" said a familiar voice.

"Kita?" Hercules asked recognizing the voice. Without hesitation, Hercules marched right over to the door. "Stand back!" He punched the door in so that it busted right off of its hinges and fell to the floor in several pieces. He stepped inside to find Wendy who was cowering in fear joined by Kita and Riku who were merely leaning against the opposite wall expecting nothing less from Hercules than breaking down the door. "Kita!" he shouted walking over to her. He lifted her right off the ground and began to squeeze her in a tight hug.

"Help me…" Kita said sounding as though she were about to die.

"Um, Hercules, you might wanna let go now," Riku said watching Kita turn purple.

"I'm so sorry!" Hercules said putting Kita down. She fell backwards, but was caught by Riku before hitting the floor. "I just missed you I guess," Hercules said nervously. "Don't go disappearing on us again!"

"Kita? Where were you!" Ti-Day said leaping over the mound of broken door on the ground and entering the room. "Hey, your clothes are different."

"Yeah, it's a long story," Kita said looking as though she'd rather get out of the ship first. "We gotta get out of here ok cause the Captain isn't a really nice guy."

"He sorta captured us upon arrival. We were wondering if anyone was ever gonna show up," Riku said.

"Glad we found you guys finally," Sora said. "I was beginning to think you were gone for good."

"Didn't we promise we'd help to find Kairi?" Riku asked. "We can't go and leave you now."

"Then where were you two?" Hercules asked anticipated.

"Atlantis, ok. Can we go now!" Kita shouted. "I promise we can chat later so less talk more move!" Kita, Riku, Hercules, Sora, Ti-Day and Wendy finally all exited the tiny room. Peter scooped Wendy up in his arms looking like a real hero. Hercules looked over to Kita thinking the same thing. "Don't even think so," Kita said seeing Hercules and apparently able to read his thoughts as well. Everyone turned their attention back to sneak mode careful to keep quite as they had to sneak back to the deck.

"Where's your Gummi Ship Kita?" Donald asked realizing he hadn't seen it on the deck.

"The pirates destroyed it when they caught us," Kita said. "Can we hitch a ride with you?"

"Oh brother," Donald said thinking of how crowded the ship was already. As the group quickly rounded a corner, they were confronted by a swarm of heartless. "FIRE!" Donald shouted knocking a few of them out. As he did so, two pirates heads stuck out from one of the doors in the corridor.

"'Ay! Get um!" one of the pirates yelled pulling out his sword. They ran out into the corridor to prevent the warriors from passing. "Ow'd you get out 'a yer cell lady?" the pirate said standing in front of Kita.

"None of your business creep!" Kita shouted as she used her key blade to break the pirates leg.

"AHHHHH!" the pirate yelled. As he did so pirates started to flood out of all the doors.

"Crap," Ti-Day said eyeing them all. "We'll never get out of here." Peter with Wendy still in his arms flew over the mob of pirates and heartless.

"Just fly!" Peter said to Ti-Day as he passed by him. Ti-Day thought hard though it was difficult to think a happy thought at the moment. He started to lift off the ground. Donald, Goofy, Sora and Hercules caught on and did the same. Hercules who was closest to Kita and Riku at that moment grabbed one of each of their arms and lifted them off the ground with him. Pom-Pom flew off last after slapping a pirate square between the eyes with his tail. Everyone was now sailing back to the top deck and racing towards the Gummi Ship.

Ti-Day stopped in midair as everyone passed him. He looked back. He knew he still had something to do even if it was dangerous. He had to find Captain Hook. He screwed his eyes looking angry and gripped his magic staff tightly. "THUNDER!" he shouted. A rain of lightning came down over top the pirates as they all shouted in agony. The heartless were merely disappearing. "FIRE! FREEZE! THUNDER! OBLIDERATE!" There was a tremendous explosion causing the ship to blow up where the crowd of pirates stood. Everyone stared in shock as pieces of the ship slowly fell down into the ocean surrounding. Only traces of fire and dust remained.

"Ti-Day…" Kita said as she ran to where he was. Ti-Day was breathing hard, clearly fumed.

"I have to find Hook," Ti-Day said sounding rather angry. He took off in the direction of the explosion leaving Kita in place. Riku and Sora ran over to join her.

"Is he crazy?" Riku asked watching Ti-Day fly through the cloud of dust.

"Oogie Boogie told us that Hook would know where Ni-Ne is," Sora explained.

"Is she missing?" Kita asked sounding worried. "I thought she was just still back in Halloween Town…"

"We think she was kidnapped by that Maleficent character, but only Captain Hook knows where she is," Sora said looking at the spot where Ti-Day disappeared. "I wonder if Kairi's there too."

"This is crazy," Riku said. "Why is everyone getting kidnapped? Can't they just leave everyone alone?"
