"Uh, a big ship is catching up to us." Goofy said.
"Quite gawking. It's a pirate ship!" Donald said.
"AHH!" Yumi screeched. "WE'RE GONNA BE KIDNAPPED. AHHH!"
"It's going to ram us! Hold on tight everyone!" Donald instructed. Yumi jumped to her seat, fastened her seatbelt and held on for her dear life. The pirate ship rammed into the gummi ship.
Sora walked about on the ship's deck.
"I didn't think you'd come, Sora." Said a familiar voice that Sora once knew. He flinched and turned around. On the top deck stood Riku, his best pal back in Destiny Islands.
"Good to see you again." Riku said.
"W-where are Donald and Goofy?" Sora asked strictly.
"Are they THAT important to you!" Riku asked sternly. "More important than old friends? Instead of worrying about them, you should be asking ….."
"Where's the hot water?" Yumi asked interrupted as the door to the cabin swung open. She saw Sora and Riku. "Oops…sorry."
"Pssh….there IS no hot water." Riku said to her.
"Ahh, no hot water! How do shower in such cold dramatic water? Brrr…" Yumi said.
"Alright. Forget it. It's the left knob to your right." Riku confessed.
"Thank you!" Yumi thanked with a smile and walked back in.
"Argh, I've always been a sucker for sweet cute girls." Riku said put his hand on his head. "Anyway, back to the point. Instead of worrying about them, you should be asking…. about her." Riku stepped aside and Kairi was sitting on the floor looking dazed out.
"Kairi!" Sora yelled.
"That's right. While you were off goofing around, I finally found her." Riku said making him feel proud. Sora raced toward the stairway until a hook appeared in front of Sora's face and stopped him.
"Not so fast. No shenanigans aboard my vessel, boy." Said the man with the hook. He was dressed in all red with odd looking pants and shoes only people back in England before World War I started. His black hair brushed his shoulders and wore a fancy looking hat with a long white feather attached.
"Riku, why are you siding with the Heartless?" Sora asked.
"The Heartless obey me now, Sora. Now I have nothing to fear." Riku said.
"You're stupid. Sooner or later they'll swallow your heart." Sora explained.
"Not a chance. My heart's too strong." Riku said. "I've picked up a few other tricks as well. Like this for instance." Riku drew his hand upward and a black figure that looked like Sora stood in front of Sora.
"You can go see your friends now." Riku said walking off. A trap door below Sora flew open and sent him flying down.
"Let's get under way, already." Riku said to the guy with the hook. "And keep Sora away from Kairi until we're ready to land." Riku left the premises leaving the guy with the hook and his sidekick on the deck of the ship.
"Hmph, that scurvy brat thinks he can order me around!" The guy with the hook said.
"What shall we do Captain Hook?" the sidekick asked.
"Nothing!" Captain Hook yelled. "The hold is crawling with Heartless. Let them keep an eye on the brats, Mr. Smee."
"But, captain, you know who is also down--" Mr. Smee was interrupted by Captain Hooks whisper.
(tick tick tick tick)
"Shhh….did you hear that, Smee? Oh, that dreadful sound!" Captain Hook whined.
"No, captain…" Mr. Smee replied.
"Are you quite sure? Did I imagine it?" Captain Hook asked shaking Smee back and forth with his hands ……er, hand and hook. "Ohh….my poor nerves."
Meanwhile back down in the trap door was a prison cell…….
"You don't say." Goofy said not believing what he heard.
"Yea, it's was definitely Kairi." Sora said. "I've finally found her."
"All right! Then let's go up and talk to her." Goofy insisted not thinking before he said it.
"Yea." Sora agreed.
"Sounds great. Okay, but first…. how about getting out of here!" Donald said.
"Oh…heh, sorry." Sora said. He looked out the small window in the room.
"Argh, we'll never get out." Sora said giving up.
"Ahem…." A mysterious noise came from the room. "Hey there. Are you looking for a way out?" a boy in green popped out of a barrel and landed in front of them.
"Who are you?" Goofy asked.
"I'm the answers to your prayers." The boy said. Sora, Yumi, Donald and Goofy didn't buy it though.
"Okay, fine then. Have it your way." The boy said walking off.
"But you're stuck in here too, aren't you?" Sora asked. The boy stopped and turned around facing him.
"Huh, I'm just waiting here for someone." He said.
"Who?" Sora asked when all of a sudden a bright yellow light flew across the room. "Wow…"
"Tinkerbell, what took you so long?" the boy asked the bright yellow light. The light dimmed down and there was a magical pixie fairy no more than four inches tall. "Great Job. So you found Wendy?"
The pixie fairy made a noise.
Hold on. There was another girl there, too?" the boy asked the fairy. "Are you crazy? There is no way I'm gonna leave Wendy there!"
"Aha, she must be pretty jealous!" Donald blurted. The Fairy turned around and kicked Donald at the beak.
"Come on, Tink! Open the door!" The boy asked. The fairy rushed out the window.
"Ahem…I believe you owe us your name, pretty boy!" Yumi teased.
"Okay. I'm Peter Pan." The boy said holding out his hand (aka: asking for a shake.).
"I'm Sora." Sora said holding out his hand to grab Peter's. But Peter jerked his hand back before Sora could touch it.
"Okay, we're in this together, but only 'til we find Wendy." Peter said.
"Uh….okay…" Sora said.
"Jeez, what a lame deal." Yumi said crossing her arms across her chest.
"Hey, it's the only deal we got to get this guy on our side." Sora said putting an arm around Yumi's shoulder.
"Okay, I trust you on this one." Yumi said uneasy. "Well, so much for that, LETS GO EXPLORING!" She said with a smile on her face.
"She always like this?" Peter asked.
"Most of the time." Sora said.
"You mean, ALL the time." Donald corrected.
"What ever." Sora said. "Now let's go." Sora, Yumi, Donald, Goofy and Peter made their way about the ship 'til they under came (fill it in girl!)
While they were walking in the hallways of the ship, out of the blue,
"So, uh, how come you can fly?" Yumi asked.
Peter turned around in mid air. "Anyone can fly. You wanna try?"
"Sure thing!" Sora exclaimed.
"Okay." Goofy said.
"Whatever." Donald whispered.
"Pssh! Does it look like I wanna WALK the ENTIRE way! Huh, DON'T THINK SOO!" Yumi yelled.
Peter landed in front of them and whistled. Tinkerbell came flying over.
"Aww, haven't you cooled off enough yet, Tink?" Peter asked. He grabbed Tink and sprinkled golden dust on them. Yumi cupped her hands and let the dust gather on her hands. Then she slid the golden dust into her pocket and zipped her pocket up.
"Just a little bit of pixie dust." Peter said. "There. Now you can fly."
While Peter giving Sora, Yumi, Donald and Goofy lessons on how to fly, Tink catches Peter's attention.
"What is it Tink?" Peter asked.
"Peter? Peter Pan?" A girl said wearing a blue dress and golden locks came running to a hole in the floor covered by a net. She knelt next to it and revealed herself on top.
"Wendy!" Peter exclaimed. Peter flew close to the net.
"Please hurry! The pirates are coming!" Wendy screeched.
"What! I'll be right up there! Just hold on!" Peter yelled.
"Wendy?" Sora asked. "Is there another girl in there with you?"
"Oh, why, yes." Wendy replied back.
"Huh, let me guess. She's got red hair, purple and white shoes with a purple and white tank top and a purple skirt, right?" Yumi asked.
"Yes, but she seems to be asleep." Wendy finished. "She hasn't budged an inch."
"Kairi? Kairi!" Sora yelled from below. Kairi's hand shifted and twitched. As seen from below, Kairi and Wendy were dragged away from the net.
"Wendy! Hey, let's get up there!" Peter yelled back to Sora.
They ran/fly/whatever back to the room that Wendy and Kairi were at first.
"Wendy! Are you in there!" Peter Pan yelled banging on the door. The entryway was blocked.
Yumi ran the opposite way.
"Where are you going?" Sora yelled.
"I know where to go!" Yumi hollered back. Sora, Peter, Donald and Goofy followed. By the time Yumi stopped, a door stood in front of her with a sign on it reading: CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS.
Sora busted the door open and ran into the Captains Quarter. There he saw Riku holding Kairi in his arms.
"Riku! Wait!" Sora yelled
Black mist filled below Riku's feet and popped out what looked like to be Sora's heartless shadow. (when Riku did that trick of his in the beginning).
They won the battle. They immediately ran towards the door Riku had last left through.
They followed through the halls and flew down, into the prisoner hole. There, laid Wendy on the floor.
"Wendy.." Peter said holding Wendy in his arms. Tink flew over. "Come' on Tink. Not now!…Well, this is as far as I can go. I've gotta help Wendy." Peter flew out of the room revealing no Kairi within the room.
They raced back to the Captains Quarters and discovered the hidden door Yumi was talking about. They went through the door leading out to the deck of the ship.
"Quite a codfish, that Riku--" Captain Hook said. "Running off with that girl without even saying goodbye."
"Run off where? Tell me! Where did he go?" Sora questioned Hook.
"To the ruins of Hollow Bastion, where Maleficent resides." Hook replied. "But, you won't be going there." Hook held up a lantern with Tinkerbell was held.
Sora and Yumi gasped.
"Unless you intend to leave your little pixie friend behind." Hook said.
Sora's keyblade disappeared from his hand.
"Hand over the keyblade and I'll spare your lives." Hook said. "Be glad I'm merciful, unlike the heartless. So, which will it be? The Keyblade or the plank?"
(tick tick tick tick)
Captain Hook looked over. "EEK, its him! The crocodile that took me hand! Oh Smee, He's after my other hand! I can't stay here! Go away! Oh, I can't stand the sight of him! Smee, you take care of them!"
"That's it!" Whispered Sora. "Hook! I'm taking the Plank!"
"Sora, No!" Yumi yelled.
Sora stood at the end of the plank
"Fly, Sora! Just believe and you can do it!" Peter said.
Sora closed his eyes and jumped off. After a couple of seconds, Sora appeared to be flying in mid air.
Peter snatched Tink out of Smee's hands. Sora and Peter landed back on the ship deck and Peter freed Tink.
"Thanks, Peter." Sora thanked.
"Hey, don't mention it. You didn't think I'd leave you and Tink behind, did you?" Peter said.
After the fearsome battle with the Heartless, Peter, Sora, Yumi, Donald and Goofy headed over to the door of the captains quarters. Peter knocked on the door twice.
"Is that you, Smee? Did you finish them off?" Hook's voice said behind the door. Peter laughed quietly along with Yumi.
"Aye, Captain. They walked the plank, every last one of them." Peter said pinching his nose to make his voice like Smee's.
Captain Hook ran out of the room and looked around the ship deck. Peter snuck behind Hook's back and poked his pocketknife at Hook.
Captain Hook shrieked.
"P-Peter-Pa-- blast you!" Hook yelled.
"Ready to make a splash, you codfish? Now it's your turn to walk the plank!" Peter said.
"B-B-B-But…." Captain Hook stuttered.
"Off you go!" Yumi said with pleasure kicking Hook in the butt sending him into the water and getting chased after the crocodile.
"Uh, Kairi couldn't wake up. So maybe she's really lost her--" Goofy said.
"Shh!" Donald interrupted.
"Sora…?" Peter's voice trailed off.
"I still can't believe it…." Sora began to say. "I really flew….. Wait 'til I tell Kairi. I wonder if she'll believe me. Probably not."
"HEYYY! WATCH MEE! HERE I GOO!" Yumi hollered. She was standing on the edge of the crows nest. She leaned forward and fell off the crow's nest.
"Heyy!" Sora yelled. He got concerned and ran to catch her with his arms out. By the time Yumi was close to the floor of the ship and near Sora's arms, Yumi jet at a 90-degree angle. "HAHAH, tricked you." She hollered at Sora.
"Don't you EVER do that again! It practically scared me!" Sora yelled back. Yumi stuck her tongue out and flew.
"You can bring her to Neverland sometime." Peter said as Sora turned toward him. "Then, she can try it herself."
"If you believe, you can do anything right?" Sora asked turning away from Peter. "I'll find Kairi. I know I will. There's so much I want to tell her about flying, the pirates, and everything else that happened."
Tink came flying over to Peter Pan. "What's that, Tink? What about the clock tower? You say there's something there?"
"Come on, fellas. Ready for another exciting area to visit?" Peter said.
"Aww, the fun's over?"
They all flew up to the clock tower. As the clock struck midnight, it glowed with brilliant colors and revealed itself a keyhole between II and III. Sora sealed the Keyhole with his keyblade. Afterward, they hung around that area.
"Peter, are you really going back to Neverland?" Wendy asked.
"Afraid so. But we can see each other any time." Peter insured. "As long as you don't forget about Neverland, that is."
Sora, Yumi, Donald and Goofy watched them from a distance. They sat on the floor and leaned against the wall.
"Aww, they look so cute together…" Yumi said placing her head on Sora's shoulders.
"Yeah, they do." Sora agreed. Donald and Goofy got up.
"We're going to warm up the ship. We'll be back to get you." Donald and Goofy said and walked off.
After a ten second silence, Yumi's voice startled Sora.
"Sora?" Yumi said lifting her head off of Sora's shoulder.
"What?" Sora said facing Yumi.
"If..if I ever have to go, would you…..wait, it's a stupid question. Nevermind." Yumi said pulling back her hair.
"No, its not stupid. What did you want to ask me?" Sora said.
Yumi faced him. "Would you ever forget me?" Yumi whispered softly.
"No, I would never forget you.." Sora said tipping his forehead lower until their faces were no more than a centimeter apart.
"Well…" Yumi said getting up and standing at the edge of the clock tower ledge. "It appears to be my turn to go…" Yumi's words trailed off as she faced Sora. Sora got up. "W-What!"
"Goodbye, Sora." Yumi took another step backwards. Yumi fell. Sora's initial reaction ran to the edge of the clock tower and looked down. Yumi was nowhere to be found.
"You didn't think I'd be going THAT fast, would you?" Yumi said behind Sora. She pushed him over with one finger. He was so shocked that he stepped forwards and fell. He grabbed onto the ledge with his right hand.
"hahah. FOOLED YOU!" Yumi said with a smile.
"Wait..how'd you…what did.." Sora stuttered on his words to find the right ones.
"Huh. Well, I fell over, then flew/glided over to the other side of the clock tower and walked behind you! Simple enough!" Yumi said. She reached out her hand to Sora. "Need a lift?"
Sora grabbed her hand with his left, but Yumi let go. Sora fell. He flew back up and tackled her down. "hah, you sly dog..!"
"Hey! Enough with the child's play, and let's get on the road." Donald said.
"Ok! Bye Wendy! Bye Peter Pan!" Yumi screeched before she and everyone else got in the gummi schip.
"Hurry up, Yumi! You're holding up the line here!" Donald said.
"Okay, okay…sheesh." Yumi pouted and walked into the ship.
The ship departed off of the clocktower and headed away into the night sky.
