Chapter 3: Corona
Kingdom of Corona – Rapunzel's Tower
With a look of determination, Sora, Donald and Goofy charged with weapons drawn toward the Heartless horde in hopes of saving the newfound duo.
"Agh what are these dreaded beasts?" The girl screamed; attempting to swat away a Shadow Heartless with a frying pan.
"Geez Blondie, how the heck am I supposed to know?" the man replied; guarding himself with arrows and nimble leg work. Yet the pair were even more surprised when they saw a teenager, talking duck and dog squaring off against the monsters.
Sora weaved and slashed away with Kingdom Key against the crawling Shadows, before casting Firaga spells toward the springing Dandelion Heartless. Donald jumped around freezing Seedling Heartless with Blizzaga spells; casting Thundaga upon the hovering Sniper Nobodies.
"Gawrsh, where did those Nobodies come from?" Goofy gawked.
With shield in hand, the dog spun his way through frozen Seedlings before hurtling his shield at the stunned Snipers.
Enraged, a lone Sniper warped directly behind Sora; weapon prepped with point blank range.
"Sora!" Donald and Goofy screamed at their endangered friend.
Sora turned at his friend's outburst just in time to parry the arrow inches from his head; rolling behind to deliver a swift uppercut of vanishing particles.
With a smirk, Sora regrouped with his companions as a wall between the horde and startled newcomers; the Heartless staggering in a feral annoyance.
"All right guys lets end this," Sora yelled as he tapped his new armour guard in a flash of light.
When the light faded, Sora was suited head to toe with gold/ blue armour and helmet; a blue cape draping with awestruck eyes.
"Wow, this armor is way to cool," Sora screamed mentally.
With a grin, Sora cast an Aeroga spell as he charged the horde before him; the momentum tearing through Shadows with billowing dust. He then hacked away at the Seedlings/ Dandelions with varied combos, before launching a Strike Raid at one attempting to flee. Before Kingdom Key returned to his hand as he begun to glow a blue light; the Sniper's savage with murderous flare.
"Faith!" Sora yelled as blue pillars of light laid waste to the Nobodies; speckled cloth being all that remained.
With the dismissal of his armor and Keyblade, Sora turned to the twitching eyebrows of his companions; the man and woman simply gaped from confusion.
"You took them all down?!" said Donald in disbelief.
"Gawrsh, you really have been training," added Goofy.
"Heh, this was a piece of cake compared to that Sleeping world," Sora replied before turning to the newcomers; the girl still oddly defensive.
"Hey there guys. You didn't happen to get hurt at…oof." Sora was stopped mid-sentence via the girl's hard swing of her frying pan; his body met the ground with whited out eyes.
"SORA!" Donald and Goofy screamed at their unconscious companion.
The man simply glared at the now guilty looking girl, "Um sorry?" she replied meekly.
Kingdom of Corona – The Forest (a few hours later….)
When Sora opened his eyes, he found himself laid beneath a tree; the breeze parting sunlight between its branches. With a groan he sat up to take in his surroundings: Donald was picking at the grass, Goofy was chatting with the scruffy man from earlier, and the long blonde haired girl sat in front of the rock beside him. The girl first noticed his awakening with giddy relief.
"Oh hey people, the spiky head is awake now!" she exclaimed as she ran and hugged the startled key bearer. "I am sooo sorry I hit you with my frying pan. You were just like going crazy with that giant key and monsters were flying everywhere I just…" Her words trailed off with Sora's parted with a reassuring smile.
"Hey don't worry about it," Sora replied. "I've been hit with a lot of worse things than a frying pan that's for sure hehe."
The girl sighed with relief as the others walked over to join them.
"Heh you feeling all right there man? I know from experience how hard that damn pan is," asked the man; the girl nudging him with a wry smile.
Sora shook his head whilst he brushed himself off. "Nah im all good, though I wouldn't mind knowing what your names are?" Sora questioned at the seemingly close pair.
"Oh right! How could we forget, my names Rapunzel," the girl answered ecstatically. "And this guy's name is Flynn," she gestured at the face palming man
"Well it's nice to properly meet you both, my name's Sora," the teen replied with his hands behind his head.
"Same here," Flynn replied. "Your um, talking pets over here were saying you're here to deal with those monster things. So im guessing you're like a bounty hunter or something?"
Whilst Donald was clearly more offended than Goofy at Flynn's wording, Sora just laughed before pondering on a response.
"I guess you could say that…we're from a distant kingdom in search of those creatures you saw. They're considered a pest where we're from so we wouldn't want any trouble to occur on this land hehe…"
"I see," Flynn replied. "Well Blondie and are just headed North…"
"We're going to see the Lanterns!" Rapunzel interrupted; twirling round in her abundant of hair like a winter's scarf.
"Lanterns huh? Donald replied. "Is there anything special about em that make you want to see them so much?"
Rapunzel paused as she rocked back and forth on her heels. "Well, I've always dreamed of seeing them ever since I was little. Though what's funny is I used to believe they were stars for the last 18 years, till I met Flynn whose kind enough to show me what they really are."
"Wait…couldn't you have just left your tower to go see em?" Goofy asked clearly puzzled.
"Umm, well my mother would never let me leave the tower." She replied whilst stroking her hair. "She was always worried people would try to steal my hair and use it for evil means."
"What kind of a mother keeps their daughter locked up for 18 years?" Sora wondered. "So wait, why would anyone want that overly long hair?" questioned Sora.
Before Rapunzel could reply, Flynn gave into his stomach with arms wrapped round Sora and Rapunzel. "Say guys, why don't we talk some more over lunch? I happen to know a great place to grab a bite."
With the thought of food now on everyone's mind, the group decided to set off to Flynn's mystery destination.
Kingdom of Corona – The Snuggly Duckling
"Your finest table please!" Flynn exclaimed with a
The inside of the restaurant wasn't exactly the most pleasant sight; Rapunzel gasping with frying pan at the ready. The group had entered a room full of men; each depicted as a thugs of sorts.
"Um guys, I don't know about you, but this place doesn't seem very snuggly," whispered Donald clinging to Goofy.
"Yeah," Goofy whispered. "Im beginning to think there's something off about this Flynn fella."
Sora simply kept a firm face as the group followed Flynn toward the barkeep; their spines tingling from unreadable stares.
"You smell that? Take a deep breath through the nose," Flynn exclaimed. "Really let that seep, what are you getting? Cause to me its part man smell and the other is really bad man smell…"
Rapunzel then shuddered as one of the men grasped on her trail of hair. "That's a lot of hair," he grumbled as Rapunzel ran into another horde of men.
"She's growing it out, is that blood in your moustache?" Goldy look at all the blood in his moustache," Flynn said to the man.
"Hey are these animals on the menu?" asked another at the now petrified Donald and Goofy.
"Ah Flynn, I don't think we're feeling too hungry anymore," Sora said; standing between his friends and the looming men's stares.
"Oh we're fine," replied Flynn as he turned to Rapunzel. "Hey you don't look so good there Blondie, maybe we should get you home, call it a day. Probably better off, this is a five star joint after all." Flynn ignored Sora's glare as he lead Rapunzel to the door. "I mean if you can't handle this place then maybe you belong back in your tow…"
One of the thugs slammed the door shut; a piece of paper pinned beneath his hand.
"Is this you?" the thug asked as the paper revealed to be a wanted poster of Flynn; the nose a tad oversized.
"You're a criminal? I knew something wasn't right here," Sora exclaimed, ready to summon his weapon upon the scenario.
"Oh now they're just being mean, they never get the nose right," Flynn groaned; thugs now prying away at him like a ragdoll.
"All right fellas" one announced. "Call on some guards. Tell em we got Flynn Rider and some talking animals. We're gonna be rich."
Clearly annoyed at the chaos unfolding, Rapunzel grasped her frying pan with a yell. "Stop please! Haven't any of you ever had a dream?"
Everyone in the room now gazed at Rapunzel; her words drawing the attention of one thug in particular
"I had a dream once," he muttered; flinging his axe near inches from the musicians head.
As Sora, Donald and Goofy stood dumbfounded at the singing now taken place before them. The royal guards remained unnoticed near inches of the restaurant…flanked by a hooded figure in the Organisation robe; their lone eye gazing upon its target.
"It's been awhile, kiddo…"
Chapter End
Just in case people are wondering, the armor I've pictured for Sora is based of my profile picture for Fanfiction because I think its awesome. Which will be the same case for Riku and Kairi in the later chapters...As for the next chapter, im planning it out to be the last chapter 'Sora' will spend in Corona, mainly due to me wanting to exceed further with either Kairi and Lea in Radiant Garden...or the ever so waiting rescue of Aqua by Riku and Mickey. So stay tuned to find out more XD
