The sun had set hours ago as we began to sail to Te Fiti. I had taken to steer the boat in the back. Maui hadn't moved from his spot on the raft since we had left the last island.

"What can I say except; We're doomed..." He mumbled to himself. Moana watched him with nothing more than sadness.

"Can you at least try?" She suggested. He slowly looked at her, sighing, before reaching for his hook.

"Giant hawk" The moment he laid his finger on it, he shifted into a pig, then a fish, an iguana, and finally back to himself, "Hey it's okay, it's okay," He said sarcastically.

"Alright," Moana got up and took the oar from me, "Your turn then" She poked him with it.

"Why? You gonna give me a speech? Tell me I can beat Te Kā cause I'm, 'Maui'" The tiny tattoo on his chest elbowed him. Maui sat up, "Take a hike, tiny" He flicked it away. The little Maui landed on Maui's back, arms crossed with a frown. Moana studied the tattoos on Maui's back,

"How do you get your tattoos?" She asked.

"They show up when I earn them"

"How did you earn that one" She poked a large tattoo showing a roman throwing a smaller figure into what looks to be water, "What's that for?"

"That's uh... man's discovery of nunya."

"What's nunya?"

"None ya business" Moana sighed and tapped his back lightly with the oar,

"I'll just keep asking" Maui ignored her, however. Moana tapped his shoulder, "What's it for?" Still no response, "C'mon" She continued to poke him. Eventually, he pushed her away,

"You need to stop that!" He turned away in frustration. Moana eyed me, slowly raising the oar over Maui's head. She squished down his hair bun. Maui stood up and grabbed the oar,

"Back off."

"Just tell me wha-"

"I said back off!" He shoved her back. She hit his chest,

"Is it why your hook's not working?" He threw her off the boat.

"Maui-"

"Out of the way pipsqueak" He shoved me aside as he sat at the edge of the boat. Moana came floating back up, carried by water. She just stared at him,

"If you don't wanna talk, then don't talk," She said, "If you want to throw me off the boat, throw me off the boat. You wanna tell me I don't know what I'm doing... I don't," Moana looked down, "I have no idea why the ocean chose me... but my island is dying. So I am here, with you and Leaf. And we want to help but, we can't... if you don't let us."

"..." Maui said nothing. Moana gave a soft sigh and began to turn away, "I wasn't born a demigod" Maui began, "I had human parents, they uh... took one look and... decided... they did not want me. They threw me into the sea like I was nothing. Somehow I was found by the gods. They gave me the hook; they made me, Maui," He cheered silently, "And back to the humans I went. I gave them islands, fire, coconuts, anything they could have ever want."

"You took the heart for them... you did everything, for them." Moana gasped, "So they'd love you" She looked down in sorrow.

"It was... never enough" Moana walked over and sat by his side.

"Maybe the gods found you for a reason," She said, "Maybe the ocean brought you to them because it saw someone who was worthy of being saved. But the gods aren't the ones who'll make you Maui; you are" Maui looked at her, with a glimpse of hope. She stood up and walked away.

"Okay, okay" Maui patted his chest, chuckling, "I-I love you too buddy." He got up, reaching for his hook. He took a deep breath before holding it, then stood up with it full of pride. Moana and I smiled at the new demigod before us, "Let's go return that heart!" He held his hook up to the sky, Moana met it with her oar, and I joined in with my keyblade.

"Bark!" Han cheered.

The next day, Maui began training with the hook, in actuality, it did not take that long for his powers to come back to him. With the help of his tattoo buddy, he was able to master the use of the hook once more.

"Next stop, Te Fiti!" Moana said to him; she handed the paddle to him. He declined it though, letting her lead this time, "Yes!" She cheered. She began managing the steering and sails. Throughout the day he taught us both how to sail, Moana definitely was good at it now. For me, it still quite wasn't my strong suit. We all practiced all day until late night came around. Moana steered from the back, Maui sat on top of the sail, and I rested at the front. "What?" I heard Moana asked. Maui jumped down and smiled at her,

"I figured it out! You know the ocean used to love when I pulled up islands. 'Cause your ancestors would sail her seas, find them. All those new lands, new villages, it was the water that connected it all. And if I were the ocean, I think I'd be looking for a... curly haired, nonprincess, to start that again."

"That is literally the nicest thing you've ever said to me" Moana smiled.

"Well, it's probably true. And It's how you fit in too; kid" Maui turned to me, "You also are here because you have a purpose! Those strange monster hadn't appeared until you did. And it's pretty you know what they are."

"Probably should've saved all this for Te Fiti," said Moana. Maui looked back at her,

"I did" He pointed. Surely enough, up ahead was the island, "Moana of Montunui, I believe you have officially delivered Maui across the great sea! Ahh!" Maui silently cheered, "Moana! Moana! Moana! You're so amazing!" Moana chuckled, "It's time" Maui held out his hand. Moana nodded, taking out the heart and handing it to him. At that same moment, something began flashing from the island. Maui readied himself, looking back at us. We nodded back at him,

"Go save the world," Moana told him. He smiled, before launching himself upward and screaming,

"Yaaahoooo!" He transformed into a hawk and flew towards the island. As he got closer, smoke arose from the island! A fireball was shot out from the smoke and flew at Maui, "Ah!" He barely dodged it. More came at him.

"Maui!" Moana called. I don't think he could hear her though. He continued to evade the fire and got closer to the island. That's when something that towered over him reached out for him. Te Ka! With a form of a large humanoid monster made up of entirely magma! It hit Maui,

"Augh!" He turned back to his human form as he fell from the sky. As he fell, he quickly grabbed for his hook and returned to his feathered form. He tried to fly around the monster, but she quickly landed another blow on him, sending him crashing into the water. Several seconds later he popped back up on the boat. He turned into his human form. He looked up to see Moana was steering near Te Ka.

"What... what are you doing?" He asked Moana.

"Finding you a better way in," She told him.

"No! We won't make it!"

"Yes, we will!"

"Turn around!"

"No!"

"Moana!" Te Ka began to slam down on the boat. Maui and I leaped up to block it,

"Protect!" I casted. The impact sent Maui flying back into the boat. However, I landed in the water. My head... It felt heavy. I was surrounded by darkness once more. I couldn't bring the strength to swim upward. As my vision began to black out, I felt something grab me by the collar and lifted me up, "Blah!" I gasped. Maui had lifted me onto the boat,

"You all right kid?"

"Yeah" I raised my keyblade, "Cura!" My headache began to go away. I sat up.

"I told you to stop!" Maui yelled, looking at Moana.

"I-I thought I could make it!"

"Well, your idea almost got us killed! If Leaf hadn't had that spell, I'm pretty certain this-" He held up his hook, "Would've snapped in half!"

"I'm sorry..." The two said nothing, looking at Te Ka in the distance.

"What do we do now?" I asked.

"We're getting nowhere near that island with that thing there," Maui said.

"There's gotta be away..." The three of us thought for a moment. Moana raised her head, "Wait! I got it!"

"Not another one..." Maui groaned.

"Just hear me out!" Moana began explaining to us what to do. Maui and I gave each other a nod of agreement. I ran over and lept off the boat, getting caught by a shark Maui. We swam below, planning a stealth strike on Te Ka.

"We got trouble!" Maui said. I looked to see heartless swimming towards us. Divers were approaching. One swooped at us, I parried the attack and shoved it back. Maui flicked it away with his tail. Another one was charging us head-on but was ended as Maui chomped down onto the creature. Two more surrounded us, circling. One moved in,

"Hmph!" I struck it and forced it back. The second struck me in the back, "Hngh!" Bubbles escaped my mouth. I turned my attention to the heartless and bashed it on the head. The two then closed in on us. When they got close enough, Maui spun with me, allowing me to hit both with power. They disappeared, leaving us alone. We continued to swim forward, reaching the needed distance by Te Ka. Once we had, Maui swam up, diving from the water and turning into Argentavis and taking flight with me on the back.

"Alright kid!" Maui yelled, "You ready?" I raised my keyblade high. Te Ka gave us a surprised and angry screech. She raised her hand, firing a fireball at us, "Leaf!" I swung my keyblade and dispersed it. Te Ka gave another irritated groan and shot more at us. Maui dodged most, leaving me to hit any out of the way he couldn't have. Once we got close enough, Te Ka began to swing at us. I aimed my keyblade,

"Glacial Raid!" My keyblade began using the power of ice as I struck Te Ka's hand. She pulled back and shrieked at the pain. Maui flew closer to her face, letting me use my next move; I grasped my keyblade with both hands, "Raindrop!" I raised it in the air, casting large bubbles around Te Ka. Before she could do anything, I swung my keyblade; Forcing the bubbles to slice through her with the power of water! Te Ke screamed once more, then quickly grabbed at Maui and me. Maui swiftly dodged the attempt and flew around her. She turned and made another try to swat us down, "Blizzaga!" I casted a large icicle and stopped her. It blasted off her hand! She looked at her injury, infuriated now. But the arm, started regrowing!w

"Ah snap" Maui sighed. Te Ka flung a fireball at us, but Maui dodged it again. That's when Te Ka must've heard something; she looked over to see Moana sailing to Te Fiti. Te Ka gasped and charged up a fireball, "We gotta stop her!" Maui flew directly to her, "Jump!" I jumped upwards,

"Ice Dash!" I dove forward, slicing through Te Ka's arm. Her arm fell off once more but quickly regrew as well. Maui caught me as I fell, flying us back up to Te Ka's face.

"Finish her off kid!" Maui told me.

"Han" I called. The blue puffball poked his head out of my backpack,

"Ruff!" He yipped back, climbing out and then jumping onto my head. I stood up and launched myself and Han up to Te Ka,

"Glacial Sword!" My keyblade evolved into a long sword made of glacial ice. Te Ka screeched at me, before I struck her multiple times, with everything I had. Te Ka withdrew, covering her face with her hands as steam rose from it. I landed back on Maui,

"Nice!" He praised. Suddenly Te Ka screamed, raising both arms before shoving them forward, sending a blast of magma, "Ah crap."

"Protect!" I aimed my keyblade, but the shield was no use. The blast knocked us out of the air.

"Brk!" Han's muffled bark sounded in my ears. I grabbed him and began swimming upwards. I looked around, Maui was nowhere to be seen. I looked up to see Te Ka, now focused on Moana has she got closer to Te Fiti. I'll never make it! I began telling myself. That's when a force of water started hurriedly shoving me towards Moana. In a moment I was on board the boat.

"Leaf!" Moana gasped, "Where's Maui?" That's when we heard something in the distance splash, as a figure flew up from the water. Maui! He flew to meet Te Ka again. Te Ka couldn't keep up with Moana nor I now. We finally arrived at Te Fiti, Moana beached the boat on it. "Quick! Let's go!" She yelled. We quickly began running up the island, when something appeared before us, "Watch out!" It was more heartless. I raised my keyblade,

"Thundara!" I casted, thunder hit all of them. Moana and I kept going, reaching the top now. We quickly looked around for the heart's rightful place. But there was nothing but more water.

"The island... it's gone?" Moana gasped.

"An entire island? That's impossible!" I said.

"Unless..." Moana turned towards Te Ka, "Te Ka is the island!"

"But... isn't she trying to keep us away from the island?"

"Maybe she doesn't know." We watched as Te Ka and Maui fought. Maui flew around her still, but she managed to land a blow on him. He crashed down, landing on a rock. Te Ka let out a scream, as she slammed down onto him, but Maui parried. The force of the impact shattered his hook, "Maui!" Moana called, "I... I have to do something." She held the heart in her hands, "Let me try." She said. I nodded back in reply. Te Ka looked down at the defeated Maui, ready to deal the final blow. "Te Ka!" She hears. She turns towards to see Moana, holding up the heart of Te Fiti. Te Ka lets out a gasp. The ocean divides itself, allowing Moana to walk to Te Ka. The two approached each other. Every inch of me froze, waiting for something to go wrong. But nothing did. Te Ka lowered herself, allowing Moana to insert the heart back into its rightful place. That's when Te Ka began turning into stone. Bright flashes of green began emanating from her as she started to shed the stone. Revealing, a beautiful green woman, who had wildlife growing on all over her body. Te Fiti looked up, taking in a deep breath. She looked down at Moana, smiling. Te Fiti waved her hands, creating a circlet of flowers on her own head, before moving towards me. I watched as the ocean carried Moana up, giving her a better view. Te Fiti walked past me, placing herself back in the imprint of where the island was. She rested her hand down on what remained of the island. At the touch of her finger, life began sprouting everywhere. The barren and muddied island now was full of plants, bushes, trees, all in a matter of seconds! The grass grew underneath my feet, it felt amazing. Bugs and many other animals began appearing around me as well, cheering at the new life. The ocean dropped Moana next to me, as well as Maui and Hei Hei. Maui nudged Moana,

"The chicken lives!" He joked. They looked at each other, smiling. But a second after, Moana stopped.

"I'm sorry about your hook..." She said.

"Well... hook? No hook? I'm Maui." He smiled. They two smiled, glad to be finished.

"...!" The ground below us started rising, we were in Te Fiti's palm! She held us up, to greet us. Moana knelt down, looking back at us. Maui and I both followed. Te Fiti looked at Maui, with a curious look. He looked up to realize it,

"Te Fiti!" He laughed, "H-Hey... how've you been?" She frowned at him. "Erm... look, what I did was... wrong. I have no excuse... I'm sorry." He told her. Te Fiti only smiled, raising her other hand over to him, revealing... "My Hook!" Maui cheered. He was about to reach for it, but stopped and looked at Moana.

"You know, it'd be rude to refuse a gift from a goddess!" She giggled. Maui grabbed the hook,

"Ah!" He gasped, "Yee Hoo-" Moana hit him, stopping him. He bowed, "Thank you, your kind gesture is deeply appreciated... Te ho!" He flashed and turned into a small bug and flew off. Moana and I looked back up at Te Fiti. She raised us higher, Moana greeted her, nudging each other with their noses. That's when Te Fiti's eyes fell on me, she looked curiously at my keyblade, before smiling. She turned and began lowering Moana and me down to a small covered area on the island. We hopped off, seeing a path covered in all kinds of shrubbery. We looked back at Te Fiti, who made a gesture to continue. Moana and I looked at each other, Maui popped up beside us. We all three began walking down the faded path. We eventually met a dead end, a rock wall. But... there was an imprint on it.

"Leaf... that look at this shape." Moana pointed out, she traced it with her finger, until... it started glowing! A bright flash of yellow hit us, as the wall created a hole, in the shape of a keyhole! I let out a gasp.

"What is that?" Maui asked.

"It's... what I've been looking for." I said. Moana and I looked at each other, nodding. I stepped forward, holding my keyblade up, and shot out a beam, sealing the keyhole.
