Phantom64: Ch. 14 up. Enough said.

Chapter 14: Rumble in the Jungle.

Leon stood out on the balcony staring at the city below him. He had been bombarded with reports of major villains just disappearing. Slade, Magneto, Mr. Freeze, Dr. Doom, Mystique, Green Goblin, and Joker. They all just vanished. This would be good news except that this meant someone was organizing them, Forming them together into another fraction. He didn't know if they were all in this new group, but he knew for sure that the Empire was part of the war now.

"Hey, Leon!" Cid called breaking his concentration. "We got some new info on those disappearing villains."

Leon looked at the engineer with the same emotionless attitude. "What did you find?"

"We found some security footage that may explain some things." Cid stated. They walked toward Ansem's study, which had been turned into Radiant Garden's security center. They approached the terminal with R2-D2 next to it charging.. "Hey trash can! Up and at 'em!" he yelled as the little robot reactivated itself. R2 wheeled up to Cid and several angry beeping sounds came from his head. "What's your problem?" Cid asked the angered droid.

"I think you woke him up too early." Aerith giggled walking up to the two men and droid.

"Geeze, You act like this little trash can has feelings!" Cid proclaimed. R2-D2 wheeled up to the mechanic and brought out his stun arm and shocked him in the leg. Cid gave out a yelp and jumped back. "You little piece of junk!" He yelled angrily raising his fists.

"That's what you get for messing with R2." Aerith giggled.

"Yeah? Well I think it's time this little metallic prick to have a memory wipe." He grumbled pulling out a small device. Aerith quickly slapped the device out of his hand and crushed it with her boot. "What the hell was that for Aerith?" Cid asked the young brunette, shocked that she had destroyed one of his creations.

"Don't you DARE give this little guy a memory wipe!" She ordered hugging the little droid. "The man who gave him to us said not to give him one of those. Wiping his memory is like wiping his personality! And we like him the way he is!" R2 gave out a couple of beeps that sounded like 'Ha Ha!" Cid grumbled and Leon interrupted them saying that he wanted to see the footage today. Cid walked up and typed a few keys and a screen popped up. It showed the elderly Magneto in his cell at the SS maximum security wing. He was laying on his bed reading a book when an explosion erupted behind him. A pair of storm Troopers came in and beckoned him to come with them. Magneto happily followed them.

"The same thing happened with Dr. Doom and the Green Goblin." Cid explained. "Now here's when things get creepy." He switched to another monitor that showed the masked Slade fighting the Teen Titans. The Titans appeared to be winning, until a dark portal appeared behind Slade. Two giant black hands came out of it and grabbed a surprised Slade and pulled him in. That happened to Joker and Freeze as well."

"This is bad." Leon stated bluntly. "So the Empire has Magneto, Mystique, Dr. Doom, and the Green Goblin, but someone else is organizing Slade, Freeze, and Joker." He looked up from the screen to look at his friends. "I want the Claymores at full power Cid. Aerith, Gather our allies for a meeting. And inform SS high command about this!" Cid and Aerith nodded and ran off to do their duties. "I don't know what's going on, But I'm not going to lose Radiant Garden again!" R2-D2 gave out a sad beep and went back to his recharging spot.

Deep Jungle

Tarzan, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Kairi, Ryo, Stitch, and the Professor made their way through the vast stone city of Opar. While Tantor and Terk kept most of the Leopardmen busy, they would sneak in and rescue Jane. "So which way is her throne room?" Donald asked.

"It should be right after we pass though this giant courtyard.," Tarzan explained pointing at the stone doors, " Then through a crooked hallway. And that should be it." They opened the doors to find a large stone courtyard with long reflecting pools on both sides. The other half was covered with a hundred powerwild Heartless.

"Oh boy!" Ryo yelped brining out his dream sword. Everyone pulled out their weapons ready to fight the simian Heartless.

"Oh dear! This could be ugly!" the Professor gulped backing away. "You all don't need an old man like me for this! I'll just wait by the door and I say! Is that a giant blue falcon?" Everyone looked up to see that it was a gummi ship shaped like a falcon. It opened it's metallic beak to show tri-thunder gummis blasting into the Heartless ranks, destroying a quarter of them. The doors opened up to Show the jumpsuit hero Phantom64 and his cooking sidekick the Kronkinator jumping out of it. Jenkins, who was piloting the Blue Falcon, flew off to be Phantom64's eye in the sky.

"Greetings my comrades!" Phantom64 greeted dramatically. "It is us, Phantom64!and The Kronkinator!"

"We got your signal a while ago" Kronkinator explained twirling his giant spatulas.

"Come Sora! Those Heartless aren't goingto kill themselves!" Phantom64 lunged at the Powerwilds with his keyblade. Everyone else followed suit and charged. Donald casted lighting several times while Goofy did his tornado ability, sucking many of them in. Kroninator spun his spatulas, sending the chimp heartless everywhere. Tarzan lunged at the Heartless stabbing with his spear and kicking them. Soon the Jungle army was defeated and they headed for the crooked hallway.

Queen La looked at them through her reflecting pool with anger." You fools!" She yelled at Gantu and Pete. "Your worthless Heartless were defeated!"

"Now calm down your highness!" Pete said wanting to avoid a fight with the sorcerer. "We'll just send more heartless into the corridor!"

"You fool! These Powerwilds aren't strong enough! We need something bigger!" Gantu yelled.

"No! No more hiding! I'll deal with them myself!" La proclaimed. Jane could only watch through the red magic bubble she was trapped in.

"I believe in your power Queen La," Gantu said to the seductive queen. "But why don't I lower their numbers just in case." He pulled out a device and looked at the approaching heros through the reflecting pool. "Divide and Conquer." he stated smugly.

Phantom64 bursted into the hallway with Sora, Kairi, and Donald next to him. Everyone else was behind them. Suddenly the bottom of the hallway disappeared as Kairi screamed and held onto Sora as they, Phantom64, and Donald fell into the darkness. The floor returned as Tarzan, Goofy, Ryo, Stitch, Karonkinator, and the professor made their way to their spot. "Guys!" Ryo yelled in vain.

"Boss!" Kronkinator yelled as well.

"Okay. Now that their divided, time to have some fun." Gantu said evilly as he activated the traps.

Tarzan noticed that the hallway was shifting. Several Leopardmen came out of the holes and charged at the heros. "Oh fiddlesticks!" the Professor gulped hiding behind the group.

Sora woke up to find himself in some dark hallway. He groaned as he felt someone laying on him He looked closer to see that it was Kairi. "Kairi! Wake up! Are you Okay?" Kairi slowly opened her eyes and got off of the brunette.

"Yeah, Im fine." she answered. "But That still hurt like heck." He slowly got up to find Phantom64 and Donald getting up as well.

"Everyone okay?" Phantom64 asked jumping up as if he hadn't fallen at all!

"I'll live." Donald groaned.

"We're fine. Sora said holding Kairi's hand.

"Then lets move out!" Phantom64 said proudly pointing at the hallway. Everyone looked at him with disbelief.

"How can you act like you didn't fall?" Sora asked shocked.

"There's a fair maiden in trouble! And as heros, we must save her!" He said as a antenna popped out of his helmet. "Jenkins! Is that you?"

"Yes it's me sir." Jenkins said over the antenna where they all could hear. "I've read through the map of this city and have discovered your location." He said circling the city in the Blue Falcon. "It seems you are in some sort of waterway. If you head north there should be an ancient manhole that leads straight to the Queen's throne room."

"Thanks Jenkins. We're heading over there. Over and out!" The antenna went back to into his helmet. "Come on this way!" with that the group made their way through the waterway. Kairi could hear noises coming from the river next to them.

"Uh, Crocodile's can't live in sewers right?" Kairi asked worried.

"Ha! Fear not dear Kairi! No croc could live down here!" Suddenly several crocodiles with the Heartless emblem jumped out of the water and surrounded the group. "Unless of course they are Heartless crocodiles." The crocs moved closer to their surrounded prey. "We don't have time for this! Everyone! Grab on to me!" Phantom64 ordered.

"What?" Soar asked.

"Just do it!" with that Sora, Kairi, and Donald grabbed on to the odd hero in blue. "Hold on!" He began to spin around into a blue whirlwind. Everyone but Phantom64 screamed as he sped off past the crocs and down the waterway.

Tarzan and the others had defeated the Leopardmen and bursted into the throne room. The room was rectangular with reflecting pools on each side. At the end was Queen La in her stone throne with a pair of giant Leopardmen statues on the left and right. Gantu and Pete were at the right of her while Jane was trapped in a red floating bubble to her left. "Tarzan! At last! Care to think about my offer?" She asked batting her eyelashes. Tarzan glowered at her.

"Let her go La!" Tarzan ordered.

"Or what jungle boy?" Pete asked boastfully. "Queen La here is powerful and half your buddies are crocodile food by now!" Pete laughed as he felt a rumble coming from below. Suddenly the stone manhole popped up as a blue whirlwind came out. It dispersed to show Phantom64 standing proudly while Sora, Kairi, and Donald's heads were spinning.

"How come your not dizzy?" Kairi asked questioning whether this guy was human or not.

"You get used to it." he said.

"Enough!" La screeched. "You will be mine Tarzan! But I will kill these fools you call friends!" She raised he staff and fired a red beam of energy. Everyone dodged and began to attack. Sora tried to slash at the queen, but the queen ducked and kicked him down. She fired an energy wave that knocked everyone else down. She turned her gaze back to Sora who was about to get up. She placed her foot on his chest triumphantly. "So you're the boy that the Heartless fear." La sneered at the young boy. "Well, today you will perish at my hands." She raised her staff ready to fire another beam at him.

"Oh no you don't you bitch!" Kairi yelled as she jumped and slammed her keyblade into her side. She creamed in pain as she staggered back. She could see blood trickling down her side. Sora got up and thanked Kairi.

"You will pay for that you little brat!" La screeched as she sent several red energy balls at the two lovers. Phantom64 jumped in front of the two, spinning his keyblade and deflecting the balls. La shot a pair of beams at the two Leopardmen statues screaming "Come to life my stone guardians!" The stone leopardmen came to life and slowly made their way to the heros. Kronkinator jumped up as one slammed it's fist into the ground. He tried to hit it with his spatulas, but the statue was unaffected. Stitch Tried to lift the stone guardian up, but the other swatted him away. The Queen laughed evilly as she watched the fight not noticing Tarzan sneaking up from behind. Tarzan lunged and grabbed her staff. "No!" she screamed.

"Your terror ends here La!" with that Tarzan slammed the staff to the ground with all his might, shattering the red crystal within it.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Queen La screamed as she turned into dust. The stone guardians began to shake and then crumble. The Leopardmen began to shift and changed back into leopards. The bubble holding Jane popped and she landed on the ground.

"Jane!" Tarzan yelled hugging his wife.

"Tarzan!" Jane yelled happily embracing him.

"Uh, We should made an exit right about now shouldn't we?" Pete asked worried.

"We'll meet again Welp!" Gantu yelled to Sora as the ceiling exploded to show his ship hovering in the air. Gantu and Pete were then beamed to the ship and it flew off into the sky. Kronkinator looked at the smashed staff that belonged to the late Queen La.

"So the staff wasn't just her source of power, it was also her life support. Sad. And I wanted to get her number after this was over." Kronkinator said sadly.

"Cheer up Kronkinator! There are plenty of crazy chicks out their waiting for you!" Phantom64 said dramatically and striking a pose. They all began to leave as the entire city began to shake and rumble.

"We have to get out of here!" Ryo yelled. They made there way out of the city as it collapsed in a heap of dust and stone.

"Say, Where's Terk and Tantor?" The Professor asked. They heard the screech of Terk and Tantor as they ran up the path to them being chased by a familiar ape.

"Tublat!" They all said with shock. That's when they noticed the dark aura around him and his glowing yellow eyes.

"He's a heartless!" Goofy yelped. The horrifying beast ran closer and closer to the group. It had utter fury in his eyes. Just as he was about to pounce on the heros the Blue Falcon flew down and fired a pair of missiles from it's wing. The missiles collided with Tublat and destroyed him instantly, his heart floating in the air and disappeared.

"Wow...that was anti-climatic." Ryo stated. The Blue Falcon flew a few feet away and hovered in the air.

"Well we were happy to be of service Sora!" He said shaking his hand. "And remember Kairi, if you need our help again you know how to reach us! Farewell comrades. Away!" Phantom64 flew off toward the Blue Falcon leaving a blue streak in his path.

"Boss! I can't fly!" Kronkinator shouted. Phantom64 came to an immediate stop and flew back down and grabbed his musclebound sidekick.

"Sorry! Well, Away! Again." Phantom64 resumed his path to his gummi ship with his buddy in tow. When they entered the ship it sped off into the atmosphere. Sora, Tarzan, and the others made there way back to the camp.

"Sora. Thank you for helping me rescue Jane." Tarzan said.

"What are friends for?" Sora said shaking his hand. Terk walked up to Sora and offered him a banana. "Oh. Thanks Terk!" he said taking the banana. Suddenly the banana began to glow. "Typical" Sora smirked as he was sent to the heart of the world. The banana glowed and revealed the keyhole. Sora raised his keyblade and locked it.

"What was that Sora?" Jane asked.

"It means your world should be safe for now." Ryo answered.

"Well time for us to go." Goofy stated.

"Leaving so soon?" Tarzan asked.

"Why don't you stay for a bit longer and take in the scenery?" the Professor suggested. The group looked at each other and decided, What the heck. That day Tarzan taught Ryo how to tree surf, not without some bruises mind you. The Professor was conducting experiments with the help of Goofy, which ended up with it exploding in their faces. And Terk was chasing poor Donald around the jungle. This left Sora and Kairi alone in the cave of Hearts.

"This place is beautiful." Kairi stated looking in the room that Sora had visited all those years ago.

"Yeah it is." Sora said.

"Im happy for Tarzan and Jane." Kairi said. "Marriage is such a beautiful thing." she batted her eyelashes at the brunette. "Well?" She asked.

"Uh, well what?" he asked a little nervous.

"When are you gonna ask me?" she asked innocently.

"What!" he asked redder than a tomato. "I-isn't it a little early for that?" he stammered.

"I suppose you're right." she stated strutting up to him. "Why don't we just stick to making out for now?" With that said Kairi jumped on the Sora and they began to make out. Kairi was unbuttoning his shirt as they did. All the while the little blue alien Stitch was recording it with his 'borrowed' camcorder giggling.

Elsewhere...

"Aros you pervert!" Darima yelled. "That ape didn't do a damn thing!"

"But Darima! He was just a pawn! To test their strength!" Aros defended.

"Test my ass! You just wanted to see my leather clad butt!" She then promptly slapped Aros in the face. Shadow Sora laughed loudly at this. Darima walked up to him and kicked him right in the crown jewels. "You were looking at my butt too shady!" She then walked off to her room.

"Oi! Why'd she only slap you?" Shadow Sora grunted trying to stand up.

"I've known her longer so she's used to it." Aros explained rubbing his sore cheek. "They may have won today but they won't be so lucky next time!"
