Predator
Sora fell back onto his makeshift bed outside the camp. Him, Donald, and Goofy slept under the stars while Mulan had a little tent made of a bed sheet next to a tree. It didn't really bother him, sleeping outside. They do it all the time. It was the long day that got him. He didn't really see how anybody could go through that in a real fight. Flaming arrows, cannons, and he didn't understand how catching fish with his hands helped. The worst part was that today was the first day. They'd be doing the same thing every day. He was starting to regret helping, but he had to find the Keyhole. It would be easier this way, traveling with the army. But right now, all he wanted to do was sleep. Off to the right, the brush started to rustle. Sora pulled himself up, his legs weak from all the work. He really wasn't up for a fight right now. Nobody else was either. The moon shone down on the grass as it shifted rapidly. Then, something dragged itself out into the open. It wasn't very fast, inching along with its sickle-like arms. It had no legs, as its body ended with an immobile chunk of something. A pair of tentacles sprouted from its back, slithering along the ground. The head looked around with enormous jaws, obviously made to kill an unfortunate something. When Sora looked closer, he saw there were no eyes or nostrils. It roared, the tall grass blowing over and straightening again. The tentacles extended to Sora, sniffing up and down his body. The Heartless growled and began dragging itself at an incredible pace to the Keyblade Master. Sora pulled out the Metal Chocobo, knocking it back with a blow to the chin. The Heartless didn't move, but instead rolled over. The sickle arms wound back, digging into the ground. The tentacles shot out from under the monster, lashing around for a target. One grabbed Sora's the other his opposite arm. The Heartless used its arms to catapult itself through the air at its immobilized target. Sora swung the Keyblade, knocking the Heartless to the side. "Help!" he shouted angrily. Donald and Goofy came over from the other side of Mulan's tent, pulling out their weapons as they say what was happening.
"Reflect!" Donald pointed the staff at Sora as he ran over. The Heartless bounced off Reflect, shattering it. It flipped over to lunge again, Goofy intercepting the attack from behind his shield. Donald jumped on its back, only to be lifted by the tentacles. Sora ran over, changing the Keychain out for the Diamond Dust. Using the serrated, icy edges, he sliced the tentacles of in a single slash, releasing Donald. The Heartless 'looked' around, now rendered completely blind. Sora's legs gave out from exhaustion, causing him to fall to the ground. Small slits on the side of the Heartless' head perked, registering the sound. It turned with breakneck speeds, flipping over and catapulting at the target. Sora tried to lift the Keyblade, his arms refusing to respond.
"Drive!" The explosion of Drive knocked the Heartless back into a tree, destroying the monster on impact. Sora fell back, reverting to normal. Donald and Goofy moving a bed sheet over Sora, then went back to their position on the other side of the tent.
