Kairi didn't really think, she was only acting on instinct as she swam upwards, only when she brokethrough the water surface did she realize, the man whom had held her, shielding her fall… He was gone! "LEA!" Kairi screamed looking in all directions. "Lea! LEEAAAAAAA!"
It didn't help though, as she looked left there was only endless ocean! Right, endless ocean! In front of her, endless ocean! Behind her, a giant ship steered by coconut people.
… Wait what?
Just then a great shout sounded. "GET THE STONE! FITIS HEART!"
Wide-eyed Kairi looked up and saw a dark skinned woman running across the ship chasing one of the coconuts whom were holding a glowing stone.
"I got it! I got it!" A man shouted, a HUGE muscular man with tattoos all over his body as he swung across the ship to get to them.
Kairi had no time for that how-ever as finally she spotted her companion, splashing around in the water, hopelessly reaching up his arms. "Help!" Lea shouted. "Help blrghlr! I can't!" Lea had to spit out water. "I can't swim!"
"LEA!" Kairi screamed. "Try to relax! I'll get you a rope!" she shouted swimming for the ship.
Lea though clearly didn't listen as he was stuck in a panic, splashing back and forth while Kairi climbed up the ship finally getting the promised rope and threw it out. "LEAAAA!" she shouted. "Lea hold on!"
Finally Lea managed to grab the thing and Kairi pulled dragging the red haired man towards the ship, and finally he got up. Coughing and hissing.
"LEA!" Kairi gasped. "Are you all right?" she asked.
Lea splurged and coughed then looked up. "Noo." he groaned then his eyes widened. "BUT IT WOULD BE WORSE WITH A THOUSAND ARROWS IN MY BODY!" he shouted.
"Huh?" Kairi looked up then saw, several coconut creatures aiming their bows at them… With very sharp arrows on them.
"LOOK OUT!" Lea shouted grabbing Kairi as he threw them both aside just managing to avoid all the arrows.
"OUT OF THE WAY!" the dark haired woman shouted as she ran straight past them. And a whole bunch of coconuts followed. Then the large tattooed man.
"GIVE ME THAT HEART!"
Wide-eyed Lea and Kairi looked at it.
"Lea.." Kairi gasped. "What's going on?"
"Erhh." Lea hesitated. "Well you see… It all makes sense if you just think about. Erhm.." just then a chicken came walking past them, proceeding to slam its head into the floor.
"I admit it, I got no idea." Lea admitted. "I just know… WE GOTTA RUUUUUUN!" he shouted as he grabbed Kairis hand pulling her with him as they had to run from even more coconuts.
Together they ran to the middle of the ship wide-eyed looking around, when a familiar bug like creature, compleately black with yellow eyes emerged. Kairi gasped. "A heartless!"
Lea didn't even need anymore as his keyblade appeared in his hand, Kairis as well… and a shout.
"LOOK UP!" Lea looked up, seeing the same chicken fly directly towards him and into his hands. "WOAH!" he shouted stumbling back and forth with the chicken. "What… What the?" he asked.
"WHAT-EVER YOU DO!" A woman shouted. "DON'T LET GO OF THAT CHICKEN!" the dark skinned woman screamed.
"What?! Why?!" Lea asked in a shout.
"HE ATE THE HEART!" The woman yelled.
"This chicken ate a heart?!" Lea asked holding it out in front of him. "What? Is it some kind of heartless?!" he asked turning it around so the chicken was upside down.
"LEA FOCUS!" Kairi shouted as she slashed heartless coming after them.
"Oh yeah, right!" Lea nodded grabbing the chicken under his left arm so he could wield his keyblade with his right hand.
It ended up being a crazy fight, it was hard to figure what was left and right before Kair, Lea, the chicken, the dark skinned woman and the really big guy were standing wide-eyed in front of the ship.
"We gotta jump!" The dark skinned woman shouted.
"WHAT?!" Lea shouted. "You mean… Into the water?!"
"No choice little guy, IT'S GOING TO BLOW!" and with that Lea had no choice as the entire ship blew up and they were all send plunging forward, screaming towards the ocean.
And landed splash into the water, this time though Kairi kept a close hold in Lea so she could pull him up and they emerged to the surface she spoke. "Lea! Lea please do what I say, relax! Relax your body or you are going to pull us both down!"
Lea gasped as he tried, but clearly struggled.
"Easy." Kairi assured. "It's just water, it wont kill you."
"KAIRI!" Lea exclaimed. "Water kills countless of people ALL the time! Also, remember… I AM LITERATELY FIRE!"
"No you're not, you're just a human whom happen to be able to control fire." Kairi rolled her eyes. "Don't be a baby."
"Hey!" Lea shouted back as finally, two other figures came back on a much smaller dude.
"HEY!" The dark skinned woman smiled. "You two! Come onboard!"
Kairi smiled as she grabbed Lea and swam over to them, then grabbed the little boat and pulled herself over, while the big tattooed guy… Simply grabbed Lea by the neck of his coat pulling him up.
"You all right there little buddy?" the big guy asked.
Lea looked absolutely miserable as he just hung there, looking like a hanged cat being held up by the scruff off his neck, completely soaked, dripping in water. His long hair plastered to his face, his black coat looking extra heavy, his eyes looking like someone who was ready to give up on life for good.
Then theit's big guy stepped back allowing Lea to just plummet down on the bottom of the boat.
Lea groaned. "Worst… world…. Ever..." he muttered.
Kairi smirked amused. "You'll survive." she stated as she looked up. "All though wow… There really is only ocean here."
"How on earth did you guys get on that ship anyway?" The dark skinned woman asked and Kairi turned around.
"Oh, well… We… You see. We kind of… Dropped down there." she stated.
The dark skinned woman blinked, but then she smiled. "Well in any case, thanks for the help! You really saved us back there! I'm Moana!" she smiled. "Nice to meet you!"
"I'm Kairi." Kairi presented herself. "And that guy down there, that's Lea." she hinted at Lea in the bottom of the boat.
"I guess I don't need to introduce myself." The big guy asked. "Hold your horses, it's just me! The champions of mortals! The god of ocean and animals."
Kairi looked at him. "Erhh… I'm sorry I don't." she halted. "I got no idea who you are." she admitted.
That made the big guys face fell. "You… Don't?" he asked.
"He's Maui!" Moana presented.
"Yeah. I basically created this world and this is the thanks I get?" Maui pouted as he crossed his arms.
"Well that's the key word isn't it?" Lea asked. "Creator of this world. But there are kind of a lot of other worlds out there."
"Wait… You are from another world?" Moana asked.
Lea exhaled deeply. "Bingo."
"Well that explains why you look so weird." Moana blinked.
Lea didn't even reply as he just laid there and Kairi smiled amused.
"Oh and this is Henhen!" Moana held up the chicken. "He's a bad chicken! He ate Fitis heart!"
"Fitis... heart?" Kairi asked.
"Uhu." Moana nodded then held out a hand openined it to showcase a glowing stole. "This."
Kairi blinked. "Oh." she looked at it.
"So… What's the issue around here anyway?" Lea asked.
"You want to know?" Moana asked.
"Yes, please." Lea asked. "The quicker we figure this out, the quicker we can do something about it, the quicker we can get off this world!"
Kairi smirked amused. "I thought you looked forward to get to another world for ones."
"Not this world." Lea pouted annoyed.
"Wait… You two. You want to help us?" Moana asked.
Kairi turned to her. "Yes. That's why we are here." she said. "This world has become target for the heartless and the darkness right?" she asked. "So you need our help."
"I don't know about that." Moana admitted. "All though… We did loose our light. The goddess, Fiti." she informed. "We need to return her heart to her, this." she held forward the green little stone that shone up. "If she gets her heart back, her light can spread again and protect our world. It is the only way to safe our dying world."
Lea sighed. "At least that seems like a straight forward objective." he commented. "Return the heart, go home."
Kairi smiked then turned to Moana. "I guess what Lea is saying is. We are in."
Lea blinked. "Wait... You say this goddess Fiti lost her heart right? And you are litterately holding her heart in your hand right there?"
"Yeah.." Moana halted.
Lea hesitated. "Does that... make Fiti a nobody?" he asked.
Kairi halted. "I... I guess. Sort of. Can a goddess be a nobody?"
"I dunno." Lea shrugged.
"What's a nobody?" Moana asked.
"It's... Kind of a long story." Kairi admitted.
"Well... erh... Looks like we are going to have a long time to talk anyway." Moana pointed out. "I mean, we need to go through a lot of ocean before we reach Fiti." she commented looking out, as true enough... The only thing the eye could see... Was more ocean.
"Urghh..." Lea groaned falling back.
