A/N: GAH. There. Another chapter.;-;Sorry it took longer than right after I got the necessary amount of reviews. I really was trying to update ASAP! But if you read my profile, you'd see that I went on a four day vacation to Georgia after school got out last Thursday!
Sora: Beast Boy
Donald: Gizmo
Goofy: Cyborg
Terk/Kerchak: Larry (xD I couldn't think of anyone else, so I decided he's my official gets-stuck-with-costumes-for-the-roles-nobody-else-wants-guy.
Jane: Sarasim (Hopefully, you'll remember her from "Cyborg the Barbarian".)
Clayton: Mad Mod
Tarzan: Speedy (Yes, Speedy. x) If ever you want a laugh in life, just picture him in a loincloth. Yes, I thought about putting Gnaark in, but... Speedy makes me laugh more! -smiles sweetly-)
Sabor (The leopard): Anti-Beast Boy, evil Beast Boy... whatever you wanna call him, he's Beast Boy's double from "The End: Part 2"
O-o I was hyper when I wrote most of this. Reeeeeeeaaaaallly hyper. So that would explain Larry's over-eagerness to be the "Gorilla King". And... I've never liked Moogles. -hisses- Ever. So... beware!
Later, the camera once again comes back on, only to show the inside of the Gummi Ship. Two of the three boys—Cyborg and Beast Boy—are lounging about, leaving Gizmo to do the driving, which turns out to be not near so fun as he'd hoped it would be.
Cyborg suddenly shoots up as he looks out the window, spotting another world. It looks like something right out of Disney's Animal Kingdom, seeming to be like a huge jungle all around. "Yo, Gizmo!" he states, getting the boy genius's attention. "Maybe the King's down there!" he suggests.
"In a scuzz-drippin', backwater place like this?" Gizmo snorts for a second. "No way! Let's move on!"
Beast Boy shakes his head, walking up nearer to Gizmo. "Wait, Aqua Lad and Terra might be down there! Let's just check it out," he pleads, putting one hand on the steering wheel.
"Forget it," Gizmo snaps, trying to remove Beast Boy's hand. "We're on an important mission!" He struggles as he Beast Boy's hand keeps coming back to the wheel every time he smacks it away.
The changeling now puts both hands on the wheel. "Just land!" he grumbles.
"No!"
The camera shifts a little ways over, and we can see Cyborg looking on at the debate, munching on popcorn all the while.
"I want some!" Hope whines.
Cyborg smirks, grabbing a handful of popcorn and literally throwing it towards the camera. Hope then grumbles, "That wasn't what I had in mind."
"Be more specific next time."
The camera moves back to Gizmo and Beast Boy, who are still fighting over the wheel.
"Come on!" the green teen demands.
Gizmo's eyes widen as he stares at the script. "Not again!" he cries.
Hope doesn't bother to clear her throat this time, but instead brings out the whip she had threatened him with back at the Disney Castle.
"Aww… phooey…" the midget chokes out, before struggling to pry Beast Boy's hands off the wheel again.
Beast Boy clings tight. "We're landing!" With that announcement, he practically shoves Gizmo out of the driver's seat and takes control, steering the ship dangerously close to the world.
"Don't touch that!" Gizmo yelps, scrambling back up. "AH!"
All of them, Hope included, scream as Beast Boy's 'wonderful' driving ends up making them crash into the world, and the camera goes completely to static for a good five minutes.
When the view returns, we see Beast Boy sitting inside a dilapidated old treehouse; He's just now starting to wake up and rub his head. Cyborg and Gizmo are nowhere to be seen. "Oww… my head…" he whines. "Cyborg? Gizmo?" When he sees they're not around, he sighs. "Dude, why did I have to land with Hope? WHY COULDN'T SHE HAVE LANDED SOMEWHERE DIFFERENT, BECOME HOPELESSLY LOST, AND GOTTEN HERSELF EATEN BY SOMETHING?" he wails.
Hope makes a "Hmph!" sound. "Nice to know you care…" she grumbles.
Beast Boy grins happily. "Anytime!" He suddenly screams as a leopard leaps into the treehouse. "Wait a minute… didn't we get rid of you when battling Trigon?"
The leopard changes back to a form that resembles Beast Boy exactly… only grey-ish with red eyes. Whoot. It's his anti-self! Wow, it seems writer magic can bring about any character it dang well pleases.
The evil anti-Beast Boy simply gives a grin that looks… well… evil. He's about to make some nasty remark, when he suddenly gets hit with a stick by Hope. "Less talking, more mortal danger!" she yells.
Anti-Beast Boy mutters some impolite, but, fortunately for him, incoherent things under his breath and transforms back into the leopard. Taking a step towards Beast Boy, he licks his lips, clearly thinking something along the lines of "Mmm… lunch!"
Our green teen hero lifts up his Keyblade wearily, as he is currently sitting on his behind, due to tripping when his evil self arrived. He closes his eyes, rambling on some gibberish about being too young and cute to die. Beast Boy readies himself for the pounce—but it never comes.
Opening his eyes, he sees someone familiar standing between the leopard and Beast Boy. The anti-Beast Boy growls and contemplates if it should go on and attack Beast Boy anyways. Finally it decides to wait until another day, and bounds away.
Beast Boy remains silent for a minute, before a huge grin spreads over his face. "SPEEDY? Is that YOU!" He tries to contain his amusement at this discovery—and fails. "Well, I never pictured the day I'd see you in a loincloth instead of the usual outfit. I see you kept the mask though." The changeling snickers for a moment. "I hope that loincloth's not spandex," he manages to choke out, before finally giving into his hysterical fit of laughter.
Speedy crosses his arms, eyes narrowed. "I'm going to court!" he yells in frustration.
Hope cackles maniacally. "Go on and tell them what you want. I've already been pulled to court on several different occasions!" she remarks nonchalantly.
"You're insane…"
"They tell me that every time!"
Speedy scowls, deciding to go on and get his unfortunate role over with. "Sabor, danger," he tells Beast Boy.
"Umm… thank you?" Beast Boy manages in between more fits of laughter.
"Thank you," Speedy copies, still none too happy about his role as Lord of the Apes.
The green teen raises an eyebrow. "Huh? Uh… what is this place?" he inquires, finally slowing down on his laughter.
"This place, this place."
"Okaaaaay…" Beast Boy responds, now starting to look a bit freaked out. "Um, where did the others go? Look, I got separated from my friends…. Well technically, Gizmo isn't a friend, just a nuisance and a midget, but… have you seen them?"
"Hmm?" Speedy asks.
Beast Boy rubs his head, unsure of how to get his point across. "Friends…" he tells Speedy again, this time more slowly in hopes Speedy will understand. "Geez, normally that's how slow they have to go with me in math class," Beats Boy mumbles under his breath.
"Friends?" Speedy repeats. Oh, the hatred for everything—his script and the character in general—shows on his face.
"Right, my friends!" Beast Boy nods excitedly. "There's two of them! The loud, annoying, short one is Gizmo and the part robot is Cy—" Suddenly, he stops, looking a little bitter as he recalls the experience on the Gummi Ship. "You know what? Never mind. I'm looking for my friends Aqua Lad and Terra."
Speedy raises an eyebrow. "Look for Aqua Lad… friends?" His way of saying: You consider Aqua Lad a friend now?
Beast Boy snickers. "Not really friends, so much as forced to be friends," he explains. Upon hearing Hope tap her foot, he clears his throat. "Umm… Yeah, friends," he agrees.
"Look for Terra… friends?" Speedy inquires.
Beast Boy is about to agree, when he looks past Speedy. Rubbing his eyes, he blinks and shakes his head uncertainly. "I could've sworn I just saw… Terra?" he remarks out loud. He squints and rubs his eyes again, and finally decides it must have just been a trick of the light. "Uh… right," the green changeling tells him.
"Friends here."
At this, Beast Boy bolts up. "Really?" He looks overwhelmed with excitement.
Speedy scowls at his next line. "WHY DO I HAVE TO TALK LIKE A FREAKING APE?" he shouts in dismay.
Hope's free hand is seen holding a wad of cash out to Speedy.
Speedy blinks, before smiling grimly. "Oh. That's why."
Beast Boy narrows his eyes suspiciously. "Hey… HE'S MAKING MORE THAN I DO!" he questions.
"Well, if you'd like to put on the loincloth and talk like both an idiot and an ape, be my guest!" Hope snorts.
The green hero considers before sighing. "I think I'd rather just keep the role I have now."
"&&X!" Speedy tells Beast Boy, moving on with the scene and reluctantly making his weird ape noises. "&&X."
Beast Boy stares. "Uh…. What?"
"&&X. Friends here," Speedy goes on.
Beast Boy looks completely lost by now. "Not sure I understand but… ah well." His expression brightens. "Just take me to Aqua Lad and Terra!"
The camera cuts off for a moment or two, before finally coming back on to show Cyborg and Gizmo. "Dude… where are we?" Cyborg moans. "I hope Green Bean's okay…"
"WHO NEEDS HIM?" Gizmo roars, obviously still fuming about the episode on the Gummi ship. "We can find the snot-nosed King on our own!" He's about to gnash his teeth some more about the current issue, when he stops.
Apparently, Larry has more than one role. This time, we see he's dressed in a gorilla suit. He waves as he sees Gizmo and Cyborg.
The two boys stare at each other, before glancing back at Larry, wondering what the heck Hope must be paying him to play as such characters.
Gizmo's about to say something, when Larry suddenly scampers off, only to be replaced by Mad Mod on the scene. Cyborg and Gizmo both gulp when they see that he's dressed in a hunter's attire.
The next thing we view in the camera is Beast Boy and Speedy again, who have arrived at some sort of camp. Speedy looks relieved. "Better than the rest of the stupid jungle…" he mutters.
"That didn't sound like ape sounds!" Hope calls out in a sing-song voice.
Speedy growls at her. "I'LL SHOW YOU APE SOUNDS!" he screeches angrily.
Beast Boy snickers, but yanks Speedy in the other direction as he notices something from the corner of his eye. They appear to be slides of some sort. Shrugging, he gathers them up and pockets them, before his inquisitiveness makes him drag Speedy with him into a tent.
In the tent, we spy a young woman looking over some papers tacked to the wall of the tent. As she hears Beast Boy and Speedy enter, she turns around.
"Sarasim!" Speedy greets.
"Oh! Speedy! And… who's this?" she asks upon seeing Beast Boy.
Beast Boy waves a little. "Uh, hi there! I'm—"
Sarasim interrupts, looking surprised. "Oh, you speak English? So obviously you're not related to Speedy…"
"I'll say! He's stinking green!" Hope snorts.
"Are you here to study the gorillas?" Sarasim asks.
"Highly doubtful." The camera turns around and we see Mad Mod enter with Gizmo and Cyborg in tow.
Cyborg looks relieved to see Beast Boy. "B.B!" he greets happily.
"Cy? Gizmo?" Beast Boy looks doubly relieved, having had only Hope and Speedy for company previously. He runs up to Gizmo, about to give him a high five, but then stops as he remembers his anger and sticks his foot out to trip the midget instead.
Gizmo yelled some very impolite word that I'll not bother to repeat here.
Mad Mod smirks. "A circus of clown duckies—not much use for hunting gorillas."
Gizmo leaps to his feet. "I'M NOT A DUCK!" he yells, gnashing his teeth.
"Well technically… your role is that of a duck…" Hope thinks about this for a moment, before snickering.
"Shut up."
"We are studying the gorillas, not hunting them, Mod." Sarasim stares at him sternly. "This is research."
Mad Mod waves his hand uncaringly and exits the tent.
Sarasim sighs before smiling at them cheerfully again. "Well, the more the merrier. Please make yourselves at home," she tells them.
"Well anyways…" Beast Boy starts.
"I'm staying!"
He blinks, as he and Gizmo both said the exact same thing. "Huh?"
Cyborg searches for something, before pulling out a Gummi Block. "Look what we found," he remarks, holding the Block out. "We found it while walking here with Mr. British Fancy-Pants."
Gizmo snorts at the name.
"So that means… the King could be here." Beast Boy nods, having caught on.
"We have to work together to find him—for now." Gizmo shoots Beast Boy a death glare.
The changeling snorts. "Fine, I'll let you tag along—for now."
Cyborg turns around, finally noticing Speedy. "You're in a… loincloth? Is that made of Spandex?" He starts laughing.
Speedy snarls. "WOULD YOU ALL QUIT ASKING ME THAT!"
Sarasim chuckles in spite of herself. "Apparently, Speedy was raised here in the jungle by the gorillas," she explains.
"My hair… my poor, poor hair!" Speedy whimpers, trying to smooth down the hair that's become unruly due to dust and dirt in the jungle.
"Communicating with him can still be a challenge… but he is learning," Sarasim smiles.
Beast Boy smirks. "So he was speaking in "gorilla" back there?"
"That's right." Sarasim's smile fades a little. "So, you are looking for your friends?"
Beast Boy's smirk also falters a little as he nods his head. "He said Aqua Lad and Terra are here. And… one word I didn't understand…" Suddenly, he grabs Speedy by the shoulder, shaking him frantically. "TELL ME WHAT THE WORD MEANS!" he demands.
"HOPE WON'T LET ME!" Speedy yells back, dizzily.
"Why don't we try this? We'll show Speedy some slides and see if any of them match the word," she suggests hurriedly, not wanting anyone to kill anyone else. "But… Wait, what happened to the slides?"
The green teen's ears perk up. "Oh, slides?" He reaches into his pocket for a moment, finally pulling out the pile of slides he'd picked up earlier.
They watch the slides one by one, most of them of random images. He pauses at one of a castle, staring at it intently.
"What's wrong, Beast Boy?" Sarasim looks concerned.
Beast Boy snaps out of his semi-trance and looks up at her. "Oh… it's nothing. I've just… never been off of my islands, but that place looks so familiar…" he mumbles quietly, before finishing watching the rest of the slides.
"Well, Speedy?"
"Where are my friends, Terra and Aqua Lad?" Beast Boy probes for an answer.
Speedy shakes his head as if to say he doesn't know.
"But I thought—"
Before Beast Boy can finish his sentence, Mad Mod re-enters the tent. "That just leaves one place." Mod leers at them for a minute. "You see, my ducky, we've been in this jungle for some time now—and we've yet to encounter these friends of yours. I'd wager they're with the gorillas…" He pauses for effect before moving on. "But Speedy refuses to take us to them."
Sarasim looks at him worriedly. "Really, Mod, Speedy wouldn't hide—"
"Then he could take us there! Go on, Ape Man, take us to the gorillas! Go-ril-las!" he sneers. The last part was said slowly, as though talking to a complete idiot.
Speedy glares at him, though considers the matter. Upon seeing how pleading Beast Boy's face is, he finally nods.
"Speedy, are you sure?" Sarasim asks.
He nods again. "Speedy go see Larry…"
"Larry?" The three boys look around at each other. "But wasn't he… that crazy cat-thing?"
Hope snickers. "Well I couldn't think of anyone else to put in a gorilla suit, and he liked the cat suit so much, so…"
They all sigh, shaking their heads.
"He must be one of the gorillas." Mad Mod smiles and shows his crooked yellow teeth that disturb this writer quite a lot. "I'll come with you. After all, the jungle is a dangerous place."
A few minutes later, Mad Mod has gone on ahead, leaving the group to struggle and find their way through the jungle. Hope complains the whole time about her aching feet, while Speedy grumbles about the loincloth, and Gizmo basically complains about everything.
After a little while, our favorite gorilla suit-wearing honorary Titan is spotted, glancing down at them, surrounded by a few other gorillas. The group stops and stares as the gorillas seem to be bowing to Larry.
"YES! BOW, BOW TO YOUR GORILLA KING!" Larry cackles giddily before stopping as he sees Beast Boy and company. "Uh…"
"I. Don't. Want. To. Know," Gizmo states simply.
Speedy steps forward, speaking in his character's 'native tongue'—gorilla. Luckily for all you viewers out there, subtitles appear, showing what they are actually saying. "Larry, please listen. I know the nesting grounds are secret, but I trust them and want to show them. Because, well… they need us," he tries to reason with him.
Larry ponders for a minute before turning his nose up. He speaks back in gorilla as well. "NEEEEEVVVEEEEEEEERRR!"
Speedy raises an eyebrow. "But—"
"No! THE GREAT KING LARRY HAS SPOKEN!" Larry yells again. With that, the gorilla suit-wearing boy walks away.
Cyborg stares blankly. "I don't speak gorilla…. You get any of that?" he asks Gizmo.
Gizmo looks just as lost. "Nope," he tells him, shaking his head.
"I know where we're headed for next!" Beast Boy announces, butting into the conversation.
The other two sigh. "Where?" they ask reluctantly.
"That treehouse over there! It's where Mr. Spandex is staring, so that's where we're headed to!"
"Great observation, Sir Points-Out-The-Obvious-A-Lot!" Gizmo tells him sarcastically.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Speedy yells at Beast Boy.
"CAN WE JUST MOVE ON WITH THIS?" Cyborg shouts.
Before anyone can yell at him some more, Beast Boy darts off for the treehouse, and leaves the others to follow him.
Gizmo becomes angry at Beast Boy for rushing off, and we see him speed up as he runs towards him. Eventually, he even passes our green changeling, still headed for the treehouse. The boy genius is about to stick out his tongue at Beast Boy, but skids to a stop as he sees what's going on in the treehouse.
Larry is still in his gorilla suit and currently interested in an old globe that he's spinning—"SPIN GLOBE, FOR THE GORILLA KING COMMANDS YOU TO!"—while Mad Mod is just a little ways from him, aiming a gun at him silently while Larry is preoccupied.
Gizmo crosses his arms, walking over to Mad Mod. "AND JUST WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" he screeches.
His screech causes Mad Mod to jolt and make the gun go off, but luckily in the wrong direction. Or… not so luckily. The camera falls and Hope is screaming like a maniac. As the static returns, we can still hear bits and pieces of what's going on.
"YOU FREAKING SHOT ME IN MY LEG! YOU SHOT ME!" Hope is heard still screaming. Occasionally, we can hear some of the boys try to stifle their laughter at her misfortune.
When the camera comes back on, we see Hope sniffling in the corner of the treehouse, cradling her bandaged leg. She shoots a glare towards the camera. "You're replacing me with… a moogle?" she asks incredulously.
The boys all nod and grin wickedly. "It works for cheaper pay than you, which means our paychecks go up as well!" Gizmo says this with obvious satisfaction.
Cyborg smirks. "Plus, it doesn't take joy in torturing us like you do," he adds.
The boys finally move on with the scene, turning to glare at Mad Mod. Larry has scampered off, screaming something about homicide attempts.
Mad Mod scratches his head, searching for an excuse, before brightening up. "Blimey, a snake slithered by, you see? I saved that poor gorilla's life!"
All three of them cross their arms disbelievingly, and march him back to the camp. Inside the tent, Sarasim's usual cheerful facade crumbles away to reveal her rage at Mod. "HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A THING?" she barks at him, arms crossed.
Beast Boy, Cyborg, Gizmo, and Hope all watch on. "Well… never get this chick mad," Beast Boy finally states, coming to a simple conclusion. "Especially you, Cyborg."
Cyborg whirls around to look at him, eyes wide. "What do you mean?"
Hope snorts. "Well, isn't it obvious?" She smirks as he still looks clueless. "You liiiiiiiiiiiiike her!" she remarks tauntingly. "And if she were ever to become your girlfriend, you'd have to be extra careful to not do anything stupid to make her this mad—cause she could kick your butt!"
The half-robot immediately starts blushing. "I have n-no idea what the heck you're talking about!"
At that, Gizmo, Beast Boy, and Hope all burst into laughter as the debate between Sarasim and Mad Mod continues.
"Now Miss Sarasim, as I told you, I was not aiming for the gorilla…"
"You are NOT to go near the gorillas again!" She stares him down easily, and it's apparent that her decision is final.
Mod opens his mouth to protest, then thinks better of it. He scowls, stomping out of the tent. Outside, he starts smoking on a pipe, and muttering things. "What am I doing here with these bloody pinheads?" he asks aloud. "Blasted gorillas! I'll hunt down every last one of them! I'll track them down somehow. I'll stake my life on it!" He is about to take another puff on his pipe before a noise in the bushes is heard.
"See? Creepy things happen to people who talk to themselves!" Hope tells the viewing audience by sticking her head out from the tent flap, before coming back in.
The camera view then returns to inside the tent before we can see what Clayton discovers. Beast Boy and the group are chatting when a gunshot is suddenly heard. They jolt up, running outside the tent, where strange monkey-type Heartless are surrounding a gorilla.
"DON'T WE EVER GET MORE BREAKS?" Beast Boy whimpers as they battle the Heartless. Once they've won, they re-enter the tent, where Sarasim is pacing worriedly. She may have been furious, but it's obvious that she's too good of a person to wish ill on anyone.
"I do hope Mod is safe…" she sighs.
Beast Boy snickers. "I hope he got eaten by some hungry animal. Either that, or I hope that something with rabies bit him."
"Gee, aren't you just so peaceful?" Speedy snorts.
"Eh, put a sock in it, Spandex Boy."
Speedy is about to beat the crap out of Beast Boy, when another gunshot is heard, from farther away this time. The group rushes out again, trying to find the noise.
"Shucks…" Cyborg starts, staring disdainfully at the script. Apparently, even though Hope isn't filming anymore, she still has her other powers. As a bird dropping lands on his shoulder, Cyborg glowers. "I don't see how this can get any worse."
As soon as the statement is said, they stumble into an area of the jungle, where Mad Mod once again has Larry pinned. He's about to shoot when our green hero rushes up. "NO!" he protests, sending a frown at Cyborg. "You just HAD to say something, didn't you?"
Cyborg shrugs apologetically.
Mad Mod pauses as Larry runs off, then turns to the group, staring at them oddly.
"Uh… Mad? I mean, Mad Mod? I mean, Mod?" Beast Boy asks while backing away a few steps.
"&&X! Not Mod!" Speedy yells, also hating his gorilla talk in the script.
Mad Mod smirks at them all, not saying a word. A rumbling is heard far off, and the rock wall behind him suddenly crashes, crumbling away. A giant lizard-like Heartless is seen flickering for a minute, before becoming invisible. Mod makes a motion as to hop on top of the Heartless—but since it's invisible, he accidentally misses and gets a face-full of dirt instead. Sputtering, he is more careful when climbing on the Heartless next time.
The green changeling and our group stare up with wide eyes, before sighing. "Holy shi—" Gizmo starts to say, before Hope chucks a rock at him to keep him from completing his profane word.
The group rushes into battle, and eventually Mad Mod is thrown from his perch on the Heartless. Cyborg and Gizmo go after the Heartless, which it turns out is called a Stealth Sneak (Amazing what you learn when you read the Journal.), while Beast Boy and Speedy handle Mod.
Finally, Mod stops trying to shoot them as he pauses to reload his gun. The Stealth Sneak is, by this time, exhausted, and rears up on his hind legs. Gizmo yells out a spell, which ends up hitting the Stealth Sneak one last time.
Howling in pain, the Sneak teeters dangerously before finally falling over—on top of Mad Mod.
"Well, that takes care of that!" Beast Boy remarks cheerfully.
"Crushing… me…" Mad Mod gasps as the Heartless is on top of him. Finally, the Heartless fades away, and two men in white coats come from off-set with a stretcher in hand, carrying the Brit away to get some medical help.
Speedy glances up at the place that the rock wall had been. Now, a cave opening is visible, and a waterfall is seen right beside it. Larry hesitantly comes out from his hiding place.
"… YOU HAVE ASSISTED THE GREAT LEADER OF THE GORILLAS!" he finally bellows.
Beast Boy and company tilt their heads to one side confusedly since they don't understand gorilla, as Sarasim comes up to the group, also looking confused.
Speedy just shakes his head the whole time.
"FOR THAT YOU MUST BE REWARDED! I, LARRY THE GORILLA KING, HEREBY GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO ENTER THE SACRED CAVE!" Larry continues.
Speedy sighs, leading the others to the cave before they have to listen to him go on and on some more.
Right before they enter, other gorillas come out from similar hiding places, forming a circle around Larry and looking annoyed. "YES, BOW TO ME MY LOYAL SUBJECTS, BOW TO—wait… why are you looking at me like that? Wait! Wait a minute! GAH!" Larry yells.
Somehow or other, the other gorillas got hold of rope and duct tape.
Snorting, the group proceeds inside the cave. They all look around in awe as they see the cave leads behind the waterfalls. Intrigued, they go on further until they get to a space in the cave where a large tree is growing.
"&&X." Speedy says in a monotone voice.
Beast Boy thinks for a minute. "Wait a minute… that means this is your home? But I thought…" He sighs, looking discouraged.
Sarasim blinks for a minute, before smiling. "Oh, I believe I understand. '&&X' means 'heart'. Friends in our hearts…"
Speedy nods, glad someone understands his gorilla talk. "Heart!" he agrees.
Sora sighs. "Oh… so that's what it meant."
There's a brief silence, before we see Hope glaring at Gizmo. Gizmo looks at her and sticks his tongue out—before suddenly drawing it back in as she draws the whip out. "OKAY, OKAY, I'LL DO IT!" he yelps. Turning to Beast Boy, he contorts his face as though not used to the words he has to say. "Sorry…. About what I said…" he manages to get out.
Beast Boy's face looks similar at the thought of apologizing to Gizmo. "I'm sorry too… you know… for nearly destroying the Gummi ship and killing us all…" He doesn't really look sorry… actually, he seems to be amused as he reminisces about crashing the Gummi ship.
Suddenly, the tree starts growing, and another Keyhole is visible. Beast Boy is by now growing used to the routine, and he allows the Keyblade to emit its stream of light and make that locking sound. A similar Gummi block to the one in Wonderland suddenly popped out from the Keyhole just before it was fully sealed.
Cyborg picks it up, again not wanting either Beast Boy or Gizmo to fiddle around with it and end up destroying it, if it turns out to be an important item.
The camera shuts off, and when it comes back on we see Hope watching the circle of villains… er, plus Hotspot.
"Miss, why'd you follow me? Kupo!" the Moogle asks politely from behind the camera.
Hope narrows her eyes. "You stole my job… and I don't trust you! You think I'd let you stay by yourself with all of these evil-doers so you can take the lead and go on with evil plots of your own?"
"Uh…" The Moogle sounds completely confused by now, so it goes on recording.
Brother Blood lifts his nose up as he looks at an image of Beast Boy, Gizmo, and Cyborg in the middle of the table. "What drew the Heartless to that world?"
Jinx examines the image of the threesome too. "The hunter lured them there," she explains. "It was his lust for power that was the bait. But… it seems the bait was too tasty for his own good." At this, she allows her face to break out into a grin.
Control Freak looks up from his position on a couch he'd somehow managed to get into the room. In front of him was a T.V., so it's no surprise as to what he was spending his time doing. "Yeah, he got chomped instead!" He snorts before going back to watching his show.
"Move over," Hotspot snaps irritably, disappointed at the events that had happened in Olympus Coliseum.
"Make me!"
Without saying a word, Hotspot flares up, shooting a jet of fire at the couch—and Control Freak's behind.
"GAH!" Control Freak yelped in pain, getting up and running around the room.
Hotspot grins and sits down comfortably on the still-smoking couch.
Brother Blood shook his head at the idiotic actions of his fellow villains, and went back to his discussion with Jinx. "A weak-hearted fool like him stood no chance against the Heartless. But… the boy is a problem. He found one of the Keyholes."
Hope snickers. "Looks like somebody can't count. He found three already, genius."
"Shut up."
"Fear not!" Jinx smirks. "It will take him ages to find the rest. Plus, he's still clueless about our other plan!"
Control Freak manages to stop his running around with a flaming butt long enough to give a wicked grin. "Oh yeah, the princesses!"
Jinx nods and then looks back into a dimmer part of the room. "Speaking of which…" She trails off in her sentence as we suddenly see Melvin appear.
"I STILL don't trust you," Hope tells the Moogle simply as the camera shuts off.
"Kupo!" the Moogle says sweetly. But just before the sound stops as well, we hear some evil laughter that sounds very unlike both Hope or any of the villains.
A/N: Gasp. Whatever could the villains be planning? How did Control Freak get a couch AND a T.V. into that room? Will Beast Boy and Gizmo ever be able to work side by side without slitting each other's throats? Was Speedy's loincloth really made of Spandex? And is that Moogle planning something bigger than just domination of the camera? Ha. Guess you'll just have to read more to find out.
Since you waited so long for an update, despite having the proper number of reviews in, I'll just ask for three reviews this time before I update again. (: Yes, just three instead of five--for now.
Oh, and by the way, I know there were some mix-ups on dialogue and that I left out a few events. All of that was intentional. x) I just mixed up some dialogue parts because it was funny. I left out them killing Sabor, simply because I don't feel like making people/animals die right now. That, and I'm too lazy. I mixed Terk and Kerchak's parts together for Larry because, once again, I'm lazy. And I didn't make Terk hit on Donald because... um, dude? Larry's a guy. Gizmo's a guy. THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT. M'kay?
Please read and review!
