The epic journey of our heroine in Orchid Bays begins now...
The wind blows through June's hair as she looks around at the water. "Wow…this sight never gets old." She smiles. Then she thinks she hears the sounds of video games coming from behind her. She turns around and, for a second, she thought she saw someone by the nearby buildings alley. She starts to walk towards it.
Danny puts down part of the raft on the ground and wipes his arm on his forehead. He looks at June who is walking towards the alley. "Hey, June! Can you gather the rest of the supplies?" June is still looking down the alley. "Juniper, are you listening to me?"
June gives up and turns back to look at him. "Yeah, Flunky. I hear you, I hear you."
"Flunky?" Danny asks confused and annoyed.
Ember chuckled. "It's a nickname we came up with…albeit not a very good one, but still…since your initials are a D and an F…and those are usually bad school grades…"
Danny grumbles. "Ok. I get it…now, unless you want ME to come up with some even LAMER nicknames for you, or before you go off looking at who knows what again, can I ask you a favor?"
June smirks. "Hey anyone ever tell you you're cute when you're mad?" She chuckles.
"I know I have!" Ember points out.
"Girls!" Danny grumbled again, however this time he was blushing a little, too.
"Ok Mr. Grumpy, what do you want me to go get?" June finally asked, giving up on trying to make him laugh.
Danny sighs. "First off…sorry…I just really want to finally get this done. Anyway, here's what you need to go find: Two Logs. One Cloth. One Rope. Once you get that bring everything back here."
"No…I thought I'd take it to Jamaica." June jokes sarcastically.
"Ok, now THAT was funny." Danny laughed loudly.
The two girls aren't laughing much with him. "Eh, no it wasn't THAT funny." Ember points.
Danny's laughter quickly fades. "Eh…right. Well, if you need help, just ask. I'm counting on you, June."
June smirks, gets on her bike, and peddles off.
"Ok, the rope and cloth I can get at Ah-mah's house." She says as she pasts her grandmother's house. "But the logs are farther off…" She bikes past a store where the manager is standing out.
"LOG SALE! GET YOUR LOGS CHEAP!" He shouts.
June, still peddling, rolls her eyes. "I'm surprise that guy is still in business…but I don't want to be ripped off…instead I'll do it myself." She bikes into the Orchid Bay Forest. She starts walking around until she sees two good trees. She smirks and cracks her knuckles. "Two logs for Danny, coming up."
She punches the first tree, and a loud cracking noise is heard…from her hand…the tree didn't break. Time seems to freeze for a moment until…
"YEOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!" June screams. She starts jumping up and down holding her hand, grumbling like a combination of Popeye the Sailor and Daffy Duck. She stops jumping and is cuddling her hand. She then looks at the tree confused. "I don't get it." She says to herself as she checks it over. "Normally a punch would knock a tree down flat. Maybe I should…" She puts her arms around it and tries to pick it up but to no avail. "Darn it all! what's going on here?" She looks at her hands. "It's like in my dream…" She then stops herself. "What am I saying? That was a dream." She then knocks on the tree and hears a clanking noise. "Eh…since when do trees clang?" She then roundhouse kicks some bark off the tree and reveals… "Oh…metal…not going to ask why this is here but that explains a lot." She then looks at the other tree. She's about to punch it but she stops herself and knocks on it…no clanging. She smiles and her fist heads towards the tree…
Later
June shows up with the logs in both arms, the cloth around her head like a headband and the rope around her neck. "Ez es ut o auted?" She spoke with the rope still in her mouth.
"What was that?" Danny asks.
June rolls her eyes. "Ez es ut o auted?"
"Hold it." Ember says as she walks over and takes the rope out of June's mouth. "Better?"
"Much." June says irritated. "Now, as I was asking, now for the THIRD time, is THIS what you wanted." She said as she dropped the logs down hard.
"Eh, yeah." Danny says feeling a bit weird. Then he shrugged. "Still, thanks June!" Then he remembered something. "Oh! I found something today, too." He pulls out a bottle. "Here, it's yours…I don't know what it is, but it might be helpful." He hands it to her.
June looks it over. 'This is a bottle of Health Potion…a rather large bottle big enough to heal quite a lot of wounds. Hmm…where did Danny find this? I bet Ray-Ray and Monroe got into Ah-Mahs storage again."
Hours pass as the three are working hard. Soon June lets out a big yawn. Danny notices.
"Tired? Want to call it a day?" He asks.
June blinks for a moment, she looks exhausted. "Yeah, let's go home."
Ember wipes sweat off her forehead. "I agree. It is getting late. We'll finish up tomorrow."
Later during the sunset…
Ember and June are looking out the sunset.
"So…Danny's home is out there somewhere, right?" She asks
"Could be." Ember shrugs. "Mine too as well."
"You think you're from Danny's world?" June asks.
"No idea." Ember sighs sadly, shaking her head. "But…we'll never know by staying here."
June looks back at the sunset. "But how far could a raft take us?"
Ember sighs and stands up. "Who knows? If we have to, we'll think of something else…that is if we don't sink and drown first."
"Ember!" June gasps in shock as she turns to face her friend.
Ember smirks and starts to walk off. She spins around a bit. "After that we'd probably die and become ghosts!"
"G…Ghosts?" June asks nervously. The thought of her dying and becoming a ghost was not a pleasant one she wanted to have on her mind.
"Mm hmm." Ember, who had already stop spinning, smiled and nodded.
June was shocked for a moment…then she shook it off. "What is it with you and ghosts? I mean, sure, Danny is also into ghosts, but not on the level you are."
"I don't know." Ember shrugs. "I just find them cool that's all…and for some reason I can connect to them."
"How can you connect to a ghost? You'd go right through them." June jokes.
"Well true but…" Ember stops and looks at June. "Oh, I walked right into that one, didn't I?" She chuckles.
June laughs with her. "Yeah, you sure did."
The two laugh for a while but soon quickly clam down.
June wipes a tear from her eye. "Ha, ha, ha…but seriously Ember. I mean…hypothetically…lets say you DO get to another world. What would you do there?"
"What else?" Ember asks, then she jumps on top of a tree trunk they were near and starts to do air guitar. "ROCK OUT LOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDD!" This made June laugh so hard that she fell to her knees and clutched her side.
"Stop…stop…you're too much, Ember, please." She tried to get out in between laughs.
Once June calmed down Ember smiled and jumped back down. "But other than that, I haven't really thought about it. I mean…it's just...I've always wondered why we're here in this city. What brought Danny or me here? I mean…if there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds... Then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could have just as easily ended up somewhere else, right? June?" June was gone. Ember looked around. "June? Hey, where'd you go?"
Suddenly June appeared, upside down, in Embers face. "BOO!"
"AHHH!" Ember cried as she fell backwards.
June, who was hanging by her legs on a tree branch, laughed. "Got you good, didn't I?"
"Not funny, Juniper Lee! Not funny at all." Ember scowls.
June laughs, gets off the tree, and walks over to Ember and puts her hand out. Ember looks at her hand for a moment then looks at Junes face. "Yeah, you're right…I'm sorry.
Ember smiles and takes her hand. June pulls her back up. "So?"
"So what? Oh right…well…to tell you the truth…I don't know." June confesses.
Ember sighs. "Exactly my point! That's why we need to go out there and find out. Just sitting here won't change a thing. It's the same old boring stuff. So let's blow this Popsicle stand!" Ember starts to get really pumped up. She ends her rant with her fist in the air.
June smiles. "You've been thinking a lot lately, haven't you?"
Ember smirks, puts her fist down, and turns to June. "Thanks to you. If you hadn't come here, I probably would've never thought of any of this. Thanks June…"
"You're welcome. Best friends forever?" June asks, putting her fist forward.
Ember smirks. "Best friends forever." And she puts her fist and connects it to Junes fist.
"Hey Girls!" Danny called out. The two turned to see him running up to them. Once he was next to them, he leaned over to catch his breath.
"Hey baby pop…where'd you go?" Ember asked with a smirk.
Danny finally caught his breath. "I'm…sorry…I had to…use the…bathroom…and…you…two…left…without…me." He took in a few more breaths before finally standing up straight. "Well? Shall we head home?"
The girls giggle at him. "What?" He asked.
June looks downward. "Barn Doors Open, Daniel."
Danny looked down…his fly was open. He blushed beet red as he zipped it back up.
The girls laughed and they started to walk home.
"Ok…embarrassing situation aside. You two excited for tomorrow? I mean it HAS to be tomorrow that we get that raft finished." Danny told them.
"You know it, Daddy-O!" Ember joked.
"Yeah, I am." June says, not as enthusiastic.
"What's up June?" Danny asked.
"Oh it's…nothing…just been having some weird dreams lately." June confesses.
"Hey, you want weird dreams you should see mine. In mine I'm a superhero with weird powers like I can walk-through-walls, disappear, and fly." Danny tells her excitedly.
"Brother. You sound much more unique than the other guys." Ember added. "Well, in mine I dream I'm a rock star!"
"Of course!" Danny and June say together.
"AND I play until the day I become a ghost!" Ember finishes.
"Again with the ghosts." June rolls her eyes.
The three laughed and continued walking.
Later…
Juniper, Ember, and Danny walk back to the house. Then, Ember called out for Juniper.
"June!" She called.
June turns around and quickly puts her hand above her head, catching something. She looks at it and seems shocked. 'A Paopu fruit?' "Ember where did you get this?"
Ember points out from behind her. "From this tree."
June walks up to it and looks at it, then at the fruit.
"They're called paopu fruit…I think." Ember thinks.
June turns to her friend in shock. "How…how did you know that?"
Ember shrugs. "Read one of your grandmothers books last time you took me to her house. I read that if two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what." She smirks. "C'mon, I know you want to try it."
"What are you talking about?" June asks confused.
Ember laughs and runs off. Juniper looks at the fruit for a moment before throwing it away running after Ember back to the house
Meanwhile
In another land there is a massive castle, inside the castle are various cartoon characters wondering around. Suddenly the front door burst open and in comes, walking very fast, a young girl with brown hair. She continues to walk in, pushing open another set of door, and another, and another, and another.
"Hallways…hallways…hallways…man I should get Fosters Home to bring Wilt here, I bet he'd love to give a tour of the place." The girl mumbled.
"Hey Lil!" A random voice called. Lil waved to whoever it was and went through another door. Finally she comes upon a large door and opens that and reveals a smaller door. She enters into a throne room. She runs in and bows.
"Good morning, Your Majesty. It's nice to see you this morn…" She looks up and sees no one was there. "What?"
There was nobody in the throne room. But then, an old, rather overweight, but still kind-looking dog (Spike) came out of his resting spot and holds a letter with his mouth. Lil read the letter and he rushes outside in a panic. 'PHIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!' She cries.
Outside the castle
A young boy is sleeping under a tree, a hat on his head and a piece of straw in his mouth, he has brown hair and looks very similar to Lil…like a boy version of her.
Lil runs up to him and starts to shake him. "Come on! Wake up, Phil…Phil Deville, WAKE UP! Come on brother! This is serious."
Phil is still sleeping; he just turns to his side. Lil glares and cast a thunder spell on her brother; shocking him silly…oh and it woke him up too.
"What…what…what…I'm up, I'm up." He says in a panic. He calms down and yawns before looking to see his sister. "Oh Lil, it's just you. What's the big deal? Can't a guy get some shut-eye around here?" He asked a little annoyed.
"Seeing as how you slept in until noon today, I'd expect you to stay up all night. But that's not important. We've got a problem, but you can't tell anyone..."
"Queen Kimi?" Phil said, not paying attention to Lil.
"Not even the queen." Lil said, thinking Phil was talking to her.
"Chuckie?" Phil said, still ignoring.
Lil was getting annoyed. "No, it's top secret!" As she talks, an Asian girl and a red headed boy with freckles and glasses walked up.
Phil sees them. "G'morning, guys."
Lil panicked. "What?" She turns and sees them she laughs in embarrassment.
Later, back in Orchid Bays
"Beatles?" Ember asked.
"No." June mumbles.
"Heart Breakers?" Ember asked.
"No." June mumbles.
"Hendrix?" Ember asked.
"No." June mumbled, a bit more annoyed.
"Oh! Red Hot Chili Peppers." Ember suggested.
"For the last time Ember, NO! We are NOT going to name it after some sort of Rock and Roll name." June grumbles.
"Well, excuse me for trying to pay tribute to some of the greatest people who ever lived." Ember complained. "I don't see you trying to come up with anything better."
"As a matter of fact I do have an idea." June says with a smirk.
"Oh yeah…what is it?" Ember asked, interested.
"The Majestic." June tells her friend.
"The Majestic?" Ember asked, confused.
"Yeah…it's to take us to other worlds…that seems pretty majestic huh?" June asks.
"Ok…but I call being captain." Ember smirks.
"No way. I'm going to be captain." June says, annoyed.
"I am the captain!" Ember snaps, leaning towards June.
"I am the captain!" June snaps back, leaning towards Ember.
Danny walks up. "So which one of you is the captain?" He asked.
"I am!" They both say together.
Ember then paused and started to wave her hands. "Ok, ok, we can't settle this with arguments…how about we have a race?" She asks.
June smirked. "You're On!"
Danny rolled his eyes. "Women…at it again." He smiled then. "All right, I'll be the judge. The usual rules apply: Take any route you want... First one to tag that tree and make it back here wins." He said, pointing to the tree.
June smirks. "If I win, I'm captain! And if you win..."
Ember interrupts. "I get to share the paopu with Danny."
June is shocked. "Huh? Wait that wasn't part of the…"
Deal? The winner gets to share a paopu with Danny." Ember smirks.
June is embarrassed. "What... Wait a minute..."
Danny, not hearing what they were talking about, gets a flag ready. "Okay. On my count:"
June, in panic, gets ready.
"And…GO!" Danny waves the flag. The two friends sprint. It ends up being a tie.
"Guess we're both captains." June huffed and puffed.
"Yeah…and I don't think three of us can it the paopu fruit equally." Ember adds. She then hears her stomach growl. "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go get something to eat." With that she walks off. Danny walks up to June.
"Good race, June…hey could you do me a favor?" He asked.
"Sure. What is it?" June smiles.
Danny gives her an empty bottle. "Fill this up with drinking water...but make it be the special water from our secret place."
"What do I look like your servant girl?" June asks as a joke. "Why can't you do it?"
"Because I'm paining the raft." He points and the raft is colored in a cool mixture of black and white.
"Okay." She takes the bottle and walks off.
June ran a few blocks away and, making sure no one was looking, walked into a cave. Deep inside the cave was a beautiful area that had had sun, and at night moon, light shine in so beautifully and it inside was a small pool of water with the most delicious spring water that June had ever drank. It was so good she sometimes felt rejuvenated when she drank it. She knelt over and put the cup down. Then she cupped her hands and took some water and drank it. She stood up then and looked on the wall at a carving of Danny and June and thinks back to the past when they were young and were carving something on the stone. June then carves something that shows her giving a star to Danny. Just then a man in the shadows appeared behind June. June spun around and saw a man in a red-armor like outfit with a cape and helmet. She somehow felt some of her metal jewelry being pulled towards him.
"Who-Who's there?" She stuttered.
"I've come to see the door to this world." The man said.
June tilted her head in confusion. "Huh?"
"This world has been connected." The man continued.
June was even more confused, and she did not like it one bit. "What-What are you talking about?"
"Tied to the darkness...soon to be completely eclipsed." The man adds.
June glares at him. "Ok buddy, I don't know who you are or where you've come from but I'm the Te Xuan Ze around here and I do the major butt-whooping to those who come looking for trouble. And buddy, if you're saying what I think you're saying, that's just what you're doing."
She charges at him but the man raises his hand and stops her…June can feel all the metal on her body stop in one place and it causes her to stop too. Then the man lowers his hand and June falls to the ground hard. "You do not yet know what lies beyond the door."
"What door? What are you from another world or something?" June groans.
"There is so very much to learn. You understand so little." The man chuckled.
"Don't bet on it pal. I know more than you think. And once I get out there I'm going to learn even more."
The man cackled. "A meaningless effort. One who knows nothing can understand nothing."
Juniper sees the door and then the man disappeared. June pauses for a minute and runs, slowly at first but she picks up speed, getting the water and running out of there.
Later…
Juniper, Danny, and Ember are sitting at the dock.
"I can't believe the paint too that long to dry. We wasted another day…" Danny grumbled.
"Hey, at least you got to put on an awesome design." June pointed out.
"Yeah…maybe if I become a rock star you could be my designer." Ember pointed out.
Danny blushes. "Well, yeah, I…"
"And you could come on tour with me, just the two of us." Ember smirked.
"Well, I don't know." Danny mumbles.
"I'd be with you too, right?" June asks.
Ember returns focus on June. "Oh right." She yawns. "Well, I'm hitting the hay. Tomorrows the big day." With that she walks off.
The two watch her go. "You know, Ember has changed." Danny states.
June looks at him. "What do you mean?"
Danny sighs. "Well..."
June looks at him. "You okay?"
Danny pauses a moment and looks away. Then he looks at her with a big smile on his face. "Juniper, let's take the raft and go…just the two of us!"
June is shocked he'd even suggest that. "HUH?"
Danny laughed. "Just kidding."
June glares, more annoyed than angry. "You're one to take about changing. What's gotten into you?"
Danny smiles. "You know, I was a little afraid at first, but now I'm ready. I mean…no matter where I go or what I see, I know I can always come back here. Right?"
June nods. "Yeah, of course!"
Danny smiles. "That's good. Juniper, don't YOU ever change."
June is confused. "Huh?"
Danny just looks out at the sky. Apparently he didn't hear her because he then states. "I just can't wait. Once we set sail, it'll be great."
Meanwhile in the King's castle…
Lil is reading the letter.
Lil,
Sorry to rush off without saying goodbye, but there's big trouble brewing. Not sure why, but the stars have been blinking out, one by one. And that means disaster can't be far behind. I hate to leave you all but I've got to go check into it. There's someone with a "key"-the key to our survival. So I need you and Phil to find him or her, and stick with whoever it is. Got it? We need that key or we're doomed! So go to Traverse Town and find Spider-Man. He'll point you in the right direction.
P.S.
Would you apologize to Kimi for me? Thanks pal.
Lil looks at Kimi. "Man. What sort of crazy adventure is he getting into this time?"
"Who knows…I just think we should trust him that's all." Kimi said reassuring.
Phil sighs. "I sure hope he's all right."
"Well, remember all the stuff we used to get into as babies." Kimi points out.
"Oh, do we." Lil and Phil said together.
"Your Highness…eh, I mean sis…don't worry. I'm sure these two will find the king and this "key."" Chuckie tells Kimi.
"Us!" Phil panics.
"Well, it did say for you and me to go to Traverse town." Lil shows him the letter again.
"Ah man…there goes my weekend." Phil grumbles.
Lil rolls her eyes. Then she looks at Chuckie. "Chuckie, can you take care of…"
"Way ahead of you Lil. You two take care now." He tells them.
Kimi then snaps her fingers. After she did a little light floated in. "Oh, and to chronicle your travels, she will accompany you."
Phil and Lil look around. "Who will accompany us?" they asked together.
"Hello!" A voice called out.
"Who said that?" Lil gasped.
"Listen!" The voice said.
The light moved around Phil. Phil waved his hand sat it. "Away stupid bug." He takes out a gaming magazine he had in his back pocket and started to swat at it. The light grabbed the magazine and started to whack him. "OW! Since when do bugs attack back?" He panicked before tripping down hard. "OW!"
The light is now in front of him. "I am NOT a bug…I am Navi." It said in a cute voice.
"A fairy?" Phil asked. He pulled out from another pocket of his a magnifying glass and started to look at her. Navi gasps and slaps him across the face. "OW! What was that for?"
"What do you think you were doing?" Navi snaps.
Phil seems confused that she slapped him. "I…I just wanted to see if it's true that you fairy girls are almost always…"
"Yes we are…please can't a girl be modest at least? Why do you think I shine so brightly?"
"Can't argue with that." Lil mentions.
"I heard that." Kimi adds.
Then Kimi looks at the three of the. "We hope for your safe return. Please help Tommy."
"Of course I will…I won't let you down." Lil states.
"Good luck Lil." Chuckie smiles.
"Thanks Chuckie." Lil blushes.
"Yeah, Good Luck Sis." Phil, standing next to Chuckie and Kimi, tells her.
"Thanks Phil, I…HEY!" She grabs him by the arm. "You're coming too!"
Later
Lil, Phil, and Navi are walking down the stairs…well more Phil and Lil were walking, Navi just floated.
"Man, Navi, your world disappeared, too?" Phil asked concerned.
"It was terrible. It was worse than Ganondorf invading us years ago. We were scattered… And as far as I can see, I'm the only one who made it to this castle."
Lil elbows Phil. "Philip!"
Phil slaps his forehead. "Oh, right... I forgot. While we're in the other worlds, we can't let on where we're from. We've got to protect the world border."
"Order." Lil correct.
"That's what I said…" Phil says, oblivious to the fact he screwed it up.
"No you said…Oh never mind." Lil grumbled.
Phil smirks. "I guess we'll need new duds when we get there."
"Duds? Phil, please stop trying to sound hip." Lil rolls her eyes.
They walk into a room where a GIANT Jet that looks like a green dinousaur/godzill-rip-off was waiting. This was the Reptar jet. The side door is already opened and the stairs extended. The three went in and Phil pulled the stairs back up and closed the door. Inside the jet it was like a fancy private jet with seats, plenty of space, etc.
"Hello up there? Lil to launch crew! You two ready?" She asked.
Inside the cockpit, a young blonde girl and an African American girl were sitting up there. The blonde was reading a teen magazine with cute boys.
"Do you two hear me?" Lil's voice asked again.
Susie looked adjusted herself and was getting things ready; she looked at Angelica, glared, and snatched the magazine from her.
"Hey!" Angelica cried.
Susie rolled her eyes. She took a radio attachment to the intercom. "Susie here. We're all ready. Just buckle up if you want to."
The two of them get things ready and start the jet up. Soon they take off and fly out of their world.
Blast off!
The Reptar Jet falls below and out of the world and Lil and Phil takes off in the Reptar Jet.
Meanwhile
Juniper is at home lying in bed looking at a picture of the raft that gave her and her friends the idea to do what they were going to do.
June smiles. "I just can't wait. Once we set sail, it'll be great."
Suddenly a loud rumble of thunder could be heard.
"A storm? And the news said it was going to be clear all week…I bet the weather man is going to be in for it."
"GET THE WEATHER MAN!" A riot is heard. June looks and sees the local weatherman being chased off.
"I HATE MY JOB!" He cried.
"Too late." She smirked. Then she gasps. "Oh, no, the raft! "
Juniper jumps out of her window and bolts. Moments after she did her brother, Ray-Ray, popped in. "Yo June it's time for dinner…June?"
Juniper gets on her bike and peddles to the beach. She comes upon her friend's bikes. "What's that? Ember's bike, And Danny's!
Suddenly, a group of Shadows appeared.
"What the…the things from my dream…but this isn't a dream is it?" She pinches herself in the butt. "YEOWCH! Nope, not a dream…but how?" She gasps. They start to come towards her. She glares and considers to attack but stops. "Wait…I always had a sword in my dreams…I don't even have that…I better find something or someone to help." With that she bolts. Juniper makes his way to the area where Ember is standing.
"Ember! Where's Danny? I thought he was with you!" June asks in a panic.
"The door has opened..." Ember states
June looks at her friend confused. "What?"
"The door has opened, Juniper! Now we can go to the outside world!" Ember continues to speak in a rather hypnotized-sounding-voice.
"What are you talking about? We've got to find Danny!" June says, still panicked.
"Danny's coming with us! Once we step through, we might not be able to come back. You may never see your parents again. There's no turning back. But this may be our only chance. We can't let fear stop us! I'm not afraid of the darkness!" Ember speaks as she walks towards the darkness.
"Ember!" June cries out.
The black shadowy circles engulf Juniper and Ember when Ember is showing her hand so that she could get Juniper. Suddenly, Juniper got out of it and a light appeared.
A sword, in the shape of a key, appears. "What is this? Looks like a keysword."
Mysterious Voice: Keyblade... Keyblade...
She looks upward. "What? You again?" She looks at the sword. "Ok…keyblade."
Just then the shadows came towards her.
"Ok…now that I got a weapon." She smirks. "It's go-time." She grabs the sword, but suddenly a flash of light occurred and June felt pain for a moment. When the flash cleared she felt woozy. She shook it off. "Boy that was weird." She looked at the shadows. "Ok you're going down."
She jumps at a shadow and slashes it in half. She then spins the blade around and stabs one behind her. She then does a big flip around and slices another one in half, vertically this time. She then jabs the sword into the ground and uses it to help her do a bunch of kick maneuvers to knock off the heads of other shadows. Once it was cleared, she bolted to the secret place.
Once there she sees that door again. "Oh boy…ok June…let's do this. With that she walked inside the place. Once there she immediately sees Danny and he is very banged up.
"Danny!" She cried
"Juniper..." He moaned.
Suddenly, the door opened and black wind came out. Danny got blown closer to June, who tried to hold on. Suddenly Danny faded out and went through June. June was blown away.
She lands down hard. She looks around. "Where the heck am I now? This place looks like…" She gasped. "Oh no…this looks like in my dream where I…." Suddenly a giant shadow appeared. It was the Dark Side from her dream. She gasps at it. "Oh great…what else could go wrong?" She then calms herself. "Ok June…you fought him many times already in your dream…this is no different." She then readies herself.
The Dark Side roars, but June is not impressed. "Ever hear of a breath mint?" With that she strikes it hard in the chest. Then she jumps towards the tree and is preparing to, unlike in her dream, pull off a kick jump this time. However, much to her shock, like in her dream she didn't remember how to do it. This caused her to ram into the tree. She recovered.
"This is my dream all over again. What's happened to my powers?" She gasped.
Just then the Dark Side charged at her. "Oh man…this isn't a dream…I don't have my powers…I'm finished." She panicked; in her dream she was a lot calmer because, by the time she first faced the Dark Side she had figured out it was a dream. But now it was real, she was scared. She closed her eyes and held out the keyblade. She then heard a squeal. She opened her eyes and saw the Dark Side ran into the keyblade.
"Wow…talk about dumb luck." She mumbled.
The Dark Side backs up in pain. This gave June time to collect herself.
"Ok June…that was too close…if you're going to get through this alive, you've got to pull yourself together." She takes a deep breath and then looks at the Dark Side. She charges at it and starts slashing it to ribbons. The Dark Side, however, grabbed her by the leg and threw her back towards the tree. June rammed into it again. She got up though and attacked again, this time though when it tried to grab her she struck it's arm.
