Hello everyone, I am back with a new chapter! Time for the Guardians to go to a NEW WORLD! And the world that is going to be is…Pocahontas! Now before I get into this, for this story, I am going to refer the Indians as Indians. I know the political term for it is Native Americans, but during the time period the movie took place happened before America was made and, as far as I know. So, in advance, I am sorry for calling them Indians and not Native Americans. Also, I decide to add a mini description of the name of the world when the group enters a world, I will make one for the Avengers one.
Anyways, let us get started!
Chapter 7
"Stay away from her!"
"Sora! Don't!"
"You have failed, boy. Once Kingdom Hearts is mine, I will return everything into darkness."
"I say stay away from her!"
"Sora! No! No!"
"NOOOOOOOO!"
Kairi jumped up from her bed and started to breath heavily. She quickly looked around and saw she was in her room in the Gummi Ship. She slowly took breathes as she tried to remember what happened to her recently. Once she calmed down, she remembered that she and the others saved a world from an alien invasion. As soon as she calmed down, she laid down on her bed and tried to go to sleep but was unable to. Sighing in frustration, Kairi got up, dressed in her pink pajama dress, and went to the kitchen to get something to drink. By now, everyone was asleep and the ship was on auto-pilot, so Kairi will be able to get a drink without bothering anyone. Sighing in stress, when Kairi arrived at the kitchen, her eyes widen in shock and her face turned red as she saw Jason sitting be the table drinking a cup of whiskey and…he was shirtless.
When Jason heard footsteps, he looked up, saw Kairi and said "Oh, hey Kairi."
"Hi," Kairi simply said as she quickly turned around, "I-I didn't know anyone was up."
Jason then said "And I wouldn't know anyone would be awake during this time."
He could sense something was wrong with Kairi and said "Can't sleep either?"
Kairi slowly nodded and replied "Yes…I have had the same nightmare every night."
"For how long?" Jason asked.
Kairi gulped and said "Almost 3 years…"
"3 years?" Jason asked, "What happened?"
When Kairi stood there silent for a bit, she turned to him and said "It…was about Sora…"
"Sora?" Jason said, "I have been looking through the Gummi Phone and saw a few entries about him. What about him?"
Kairi placed her hand on her heart and said "Me and Sora…the two of us were friends since we were kids and we have been together ever since…"
Jason knew what relationship she had with Sora as she continued to say "3 years ago…me and Sora were closer than ever and…we planned have a life together…but…"
Sensing something bad was about to happened, Jason asked "What happened?"
Kairi looked at him with a teary look and replied "Xehanort…when we last fought against him…we were unprepared…Xehanort…almost tried to kill me…but…Sora…he…"
Before she could finish, she slowly start to break down in tears and said "Xehanort…killed him…Sora sacrificed himself to save me…and I…I…"
She then started to full cry. Gripping his cup, Jason gritted his teeth and said "He will pay for all the things he has done. I will make sure his plans fail and everyone who follows him will die."
He then looked at her, gave her an assuring look and said "Except for your friends who are under his control."
Hearing Jason say that, Kairi wiped her tears away and said "Thank you…but…I don't want you to get hurt while doing that. I…We already lost a lot…we don't want to lose anyone else."
Jason chuckled and said "As I said, don't worry about me. Just worry about yourself and your friends. Leave the old man to me."
Kairi was a bit worried about Jason's determination to kill Xehanort, but she understands his reasons. And, maybe deep down inside her, she wants Jason to kill Xehanort, and maybe then, her nightmares could end and she can be reunited with her family once again.
She looked at Jason drinking his cup as he said "I know what it's like to lose someone close to you."
Curious, Kairi asked "Who?"
Before he could reply, the alarms started to go off as it indicated that they found a new world. He smirked and said "Well, time for us to go to work."
He then gulped down his drink as he got up and puts his cup in the sink. Before he left the kitchen, he turned to Kairi and said "And…if you need anything to get off your chest…I'm willing to lend an ear for you. Now come on, we should get ready."
As Jason left, Kairi stood there thinking of what Jason said and smiled a bit. Maybe he does have a soft side under all that rage and violence. Shaking her head, she quickly headed to her room to get ready.
The group arrived at their new destination. When they landed on the world, they looked around and saw that they were in some kind of forest with tall trees. They examined their surroundings.
"Looks like this is a new world we haven't been to," Aqua said.
"I agree," Lea said, "Where are we?"
All of a sudden, they heard gunshots in the distance. Everyone turned to the direction of the shots and Mickey asked "What was that?"
Jason quickly replied "Gunshots, they sounded like they were only single shots, which indicates whoever is shooting them is using an old musket rifle."
Everyone looked at him and Riku said "You sure know your guns."
Jason shrugged and said "It's a hobby of mine. But if they are shooting, it would mean that someone is being attacked."
"Then let's not waste time!" Donald shouted as they all headed to the direction where they heard the gunshots.
(Tall trees sprouted as the left side had Indian tents while on the right side had wooden wall with makeshift tents. On the bottom, the words "New World" appeared in orange.)
After almost a minute of running, the group eventually arrived to where the gunshots originated. As they observed, they saw on their left a group of settlers who were loading their muskets and covering being piles of wood while on the other side were Indians who were hiding in the trees and bushes firing arrows at them.
While the group observed, Jason nodded and said "Oh yeah, a territorial fight."
Kairi looked at him and asked "What?"
Jason explained "It's when two parties are fighting for a specific plot of land or territory. From the looks of it, it likes like the people on the left are settling in while the ones one the right are attacking them."
"Well then," Lea said as he summoned his Keyblade, "Let's help them out."
When everyone, except Jason, nodded and took out their weapons, Jason then said "Now hold on, for all we know, the people on the right are defending their land from these guys, since technically they are invading their plot of land."
"So then…" Aqua asked as she looked at the two group, "Who do we help out? The settlers or the Indians?"
Just then, a horde of Heartless appeared and were approaching the group. Jason took out his Keyblade and said "I don't know. But what I do know is that we need to take these Heartless down."
Now seeing the real threat, everyone took out their weapons and charged at the Heartless. Mickey, Donald and Goofy were taking on a group of Heartless, which consisted of Shadows and Soldiers. Mickey used his Light magic to take out a few Shadows and used his Kingdom Key Keyblade to slice through a few Soldiers. While Donald cast a few Fire and Thunder spells to destroy some Heartless, Goofy used his shield to bash through a few of them before crushing them by landing on top of them.
Lea used his Flame Liberator Keyblade to slice through a few Shadows and Soldiers and launched a few fireballs at the remaining Heartless in his sights. Just as he was finished, more Heartless appeared and surrounded him. Seeing the Heartless surrounding him, Lea turned his Keyblade into his chakrams, spun them as they were engulfed in flames and threw weapons around him, destroying the Heartless around him.
Near him, Riku swung his Way to Dawn Keyblade at some Soldiers and managed to destroy them on the spot. As more Heartless appeared, this time Neo-Shadows, Riku raised his Keyblade high and used his Thunder Spell and managed to take out a few Neo-Shadows. While some were still standing, Riku dashed towards them and sliced through them like nothing and the Heartless vanished into thin air.
Aqua was focused on the Big Bodies that appeared before her. She had to maneuver around them so that she can us her Rainfell Keyblade to land a clean blow to their backs. As she switched from her melee attacks to using her Blizzard Spells, Aqua managed to take out the Heartless that were a major problem.
Gripping his Wayward Wind Keyblade, Ven swiftly took out the Shadows and Soldiers that were in his way. Seeing more appeared, Ven used his Wind Spells to sweep up the Heartless and then attacked them while they were helpless in the air. Thinking it was over, Ven spotted more and he quickly dealt with them before they had the chance to attack.
Kairi on the other hand was struggling a bit. Sure, she had enough fighting experience back in the last world, but it wasn't enough to help her right now. She gripped her Destiny Embrace Keyblade as she managed to slice a few Heartless that jumped at her. One managed to land a clean blow to her left side, but she managed to quickly recover and used her Fire Spell to blow it up.
Meanwhile, Jason was easily killing the Heartless as he was using both of his Energy Pistols to blast through Heartless after Heartless that were appearing before him. As more started to appear, Jason puts away one of his Energy Pistols and took out his Kingdom Sword Keyblade and sliced through any Shadows, Soldiers and even Neo-Shadows that appeared.
After a while, the battle has ended while everyone took a breather and put away their weapons. They look over and saw the battle between the settlers and the Indians had ended as the Indians retreated into the forest.
"Guess the battle is over," Mickey said.
"We should go down there to see if anyone is hurt," Aqua suggested.
When everyone nodded and were about to head down, Jason said "Hold it, don't act without thinking first."
Lea gave him a confused look and said "Dude, we are just going down there to check up on them."
"Right after they were in a fight?" Jason said, "For all they know, we might be another group of natives who are going to cause them trouble. And besides, we don't know who started the fight, we need both sides of the story."
Riku crossed his arms and asked "Okay, what do you propose we do?"
Jason replied "I say half of us stay here and talk to them and figure out why they are here while the other half find the Indians and find out why they attacked."
He then said "So, I'll go find the Indians and figure out their reasons."
"You sure it's a good idea?" Aqua asked.
Jason nodded and said "Yeah, it's best I go. Seeing these settlers with pre-war weapons and tools, one look at my weapons, and they will demand for me to give it to them. The Indians on the other hand are more primitive, so getting answers will be a bit easy. Don't worry, I won't use force on them, just ask them nicely. And if they do fight back, well, you know the deal."
"Hmmm," Mickey said, "I don't know. We are here to protect the World Order, not cause too much trouble. If you plan to go, take someone who can…"
"I'll go," Kairi quickly said, "I'll make sure he behaves."
As Jason rolled his eyes, Riku looked at her and asked "Are you sure? I mean, you can…"
"I can take care of myself," Kairi said.
"Alright then, you can come," Jason said, "But it will take some time to find them, so tracking them will be hard."
"Oh!" Ven said as he raised his hand, "I can help you with that! I can track them!"
Aqua looked at him and asked "Ven, you know how to track?"
Ven nodded and said "Yeah! It's one of the skills I picked up in my travels."
"That's great," Jason said, "Then while me, Kairi and Ven check up on the Indians, the rest of you check up on the settlers. Oh, here is a few tips: if you want them to cooperate, just agree with what they say, tell them what they need to know, and try to do as much as you can to earn their trust. Got it?"
"Um…ok?" Goofy said unsure.
"Alright," Jason said, "Now that we have our plan, let's split up."
Once they agreed, the two groups split up. Mickey and the others headed to the settlers to see if they were alright, when two men, one with long black hair and the other long red hair and a beard, spotted them and they alerted the person in charge. The group look over and saw a fat man wearing a purple suit with long black hair in pigtails and a beard.
The man marched up to them and shouted "Hold it right there! You are trespassing on England territory!"
"Relax," Lea said, "We come in peace. We heard the fighting happening, but when we got here, the fight was over. We just came to see if you were alright."
The man gave them a suspicious look and asked "So you say, but how do I know you aren't allied with the savages?"
"Savages?" Aqua said, "Why would you…"
However, Lea quickly said "See, here's the thing: we are travelers and we always encounter these Indians and would always attack us for no reason. So in a way, were are in the same boat."
The man eyed them a bit before saying "Very well, but we have an eye on you. I am Governor Ratcliffe."
The group nodded and Mickey said "Well, good to meet ya."
Ratcliffe saw Mickey and cringed a bit before saying "Yes, well, if you would have arrived sooner, we would have helped us fight against these filthy savages."
Riku then said "Sorry, we had troubles on our way here. See, there these creatures called Heartless that are drawn to the darkness in people's hearts. And since we are the only ones who can truly destroy them, we can lend a hand in helping you and your men to fight these creatures."
Ratcliffe rubbed his chin and said "Hmmm, you have a point there. That and add the fact that these savages will attack us, or possibly ally themselves with these creatures, we may need some help. Very well, you shall stay at our camp and aid my men."
He then turned to his men and shouted "Alright men! These travelers will aid us in fighting off against these savages! For now, fortified the defenses while some of you keep digging for gold!"
As he walked away, Aqua turned to Lea and said "Lea, why did say that?"
Lea rubbed his head and replied "I dunno. It just…came to me."
"Regardless," Riku said, "We have their attention, so all we have to do is ask around and figure out why they are here."
However, Donald deviously chuckled as he rubbed his hands and said "Well, he did say something about gold."
"Wow," Jason said, "That was actually faster than I expected."
As he, Kairi and Ven were crouching behind some bushes on a cliff, across the river in front of them was the camp where the Indians retreated to. Having his Victory Rifle out, Jason looked through the scope of his sniper rifle to observe the natives going on their business. As he looked through the scope, he saw a few Indians fishing, harvesting corn and other chores, he saw a few of them all gathered in one tent and looked like they were scared.
"Good job on tracking them, Venny," Jason said, "Save us a lot of time."
Ven cheerfully chuckled and said "Hey, no problem."
Kairi looked at Jason and asked "What do you see?"
"Hmm," Jason replied, "Not much. The only thing that is standing out is a lot of people gathered in one tent. My guess? Probably treating the injured."
Kairi gasped a bit and said "Should we help them?"
"Maybe," Jason said as he lowered his sniper rifle, "If we show them that we aren't a threat, then they can trust us. It will take some time, but the three of us can manage it."
"I hope so," Kairi said, "We have to make sure no one gets hurt."
Jason nodded as he put away his sniper rifle and said "Alright, stick with me and follow my lead."
As Kairi and Ven nodded, Jason carefully led the two of them to the Indian camp. The moment they got close, some of the natives spotted them and, while others fled to warn their chief, the males took out their handmade spears and pointed them at Jason and the others. Wanting to show them they weren't a threat, Jason slowly raised his arms while Kairi and Ven slowly raised theirs.
"Hold your weapons," Jason said, "We mean you no harm."
As the Indian men motioned them to follow them and, after a while of walking, they arrived at the tent where everyone was gathered and saw an older Indian man, to which they assume is their chief.
The man held up his hand for them to stop and said "Who are you, strangers? Why have come?"
Before Kairi and Ven were about to say something, Jason spoke "Greetings, my name is Jason Washington. These are my companions Ventus and Kairi, we are travelers from a faraway land."
The chief gave them a suspicious look and asked "And how do we know you are not with the white men who attacked us."
Kairi waved her arms in defense and said "We're not! We are here to treat the injured! And maybe find out why you were attacked."
"Yeah," Ven said, "We mean you no harm."
The chied still gave them a suspicious look as he said "Their wounds are unlike anything we've seen, and you claim you can heal them?"
"I can," Jason said, "I am a doctor, or, well, a healer of sort. I can treat their wounds and have the patched up in no time. If you allow me to."
Still giving them a suspicious look, the chief said "Very well, we will have our men overlook your treatment to make sure you speak the truth."
"Very well," Jason said, "And, you might be?"
The chief replied "I am Powhatan, chief of my people. Now, go and treat our injured."
The three Keyblade Wielders nodded as they headed to the tent. As they entered, Kairi leaned towards Jason and asked "You do know how to treat their injuries? Can't we just heal them?"
"Yeah," Jason replied, "I know how to treat wounds like these back home. Only the injuries back home are WAY worse than these."
"Need any help?" Ven asked.
Jason nodded and said "Some clothes and hot water if you can. I have most of the medical supplies needed for this. Come by the tent when you guys have the stuff."
Both Kairi and Ven nodded as they two headed out to gather the things needed for Jason's treatment on the injured. They hope they can earn their trust so they can know why they attacked the settlers and also hope that the other group is figuring out why the settlers were in this land. Either way, they need to find out the answers fast before the Indians and the settlers decide to start another scrimmage, only this time, it will end in bloodshed.
And that is all for this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it and I will be back for more chapters. Until then, please review!
