Crash Landings and Goodbyes
Yoko was having a hard time concentrating with Zera shooting at random things, sometimes yelling out, "Die you evil Heartless! Die!". Occasionally Yoko would yell at her friend to stop, but Zera would reply in gibberish, and Yoko would roll her eyes and go back to driving. That, fortunately for her, had stopped five minutes ago. But though she was happy Zera had stopped her annoying antics, she found herself wondering what her friend was doing. Sighing, she pressed the autopilot button and went off in search of Zera.
"Zera? Where the hell are you?" Yoko yelled as she walked down the small hallway.
"I'm in the last room to the right!" she heard Zera shout back. She entered the one Zera had said and found her friend sitting on the floor. She seemed to be throwing something on her keyblade.
"IT WON'T STICK!" Zera yelled.
"Okay, what the hell are you doing?" Yoko asked her.
"I'm trying to make it more glittery, but it's not working! I even put glue on it with this glue stick!" Zera pouted. Yoko raised an eyebrow.
"And where exactly did you get the gluestick and glitter?" she asked with a smirk on her face.
"…I…don't…know…they were just here," Zera replied simply.
"Uh-huh, right. Whatever," Yoko said leaving the room. Suddenly she felt a weight on her leg that wasn't her own. She looked down to see Zera latched onto her leg.
"DON'T LEAVE ME!" she yelled.
"Uh…Zera? I need to get back to the control panel to see if we're close yet," Yoko told her. Then the ship started to shake violently, causing Yoko to fall over onto the ground. Then both of the girls were thrown against the wall, and the electricity blew. The girls lay there for a bit. They groaned as they got up, rubbing the bruises that may be forming in a short while.
"You okay Yoko?" Zera asked, looking at her friend.
"Yeah. I guess we landed. I forgot to put the landing gear on autopilot too, I think. Are you alright?" Yoko asked. Zera nodded.
"Uh-huh, yeah. I'm okay, but I know I'm going to have a huge headache later," she said.
"Well, we better go get our stuff," Yoko replied. Zera nodded her head in agreement and followed Yoko out of the room. The ship had landed on its side, so they were walking on one of the walls, and the crash had knock out the power, so it was fairly dark. Feeling their way down the hall and back to the control room, they walked in silence. Once there, they gathered their stuff and their weapons, and then exited the ship.
Meanwhile, out side on the island
A small tremor was sent through the ground. It wasn't enough to damage anything, but enough to catch the four teenager's attention. They ran to the source of the quake to find some kind of ship had crash-landed on their playground beach.
"What is it?" Selphie asked out loud. Kairi recognized it.
"That's a gummi ship," she said. "They're used to travel in space and are combat equipped."
"Shouldn't we be worried about who is in there instead of what it is?" Tidus asked.
"Ya, Tidus is right, man. Whoever is in there might want to take over our island or something," Wakka put in. They watched it for a few more minutes but nothing happened.
"Or maybe whatever's in there died when they crashed," Selphie inferred. The rest of them just shrugged in response.
"Well, I guess it's safe to continue our game of blitzball?" Wakka asked.
"You guys are going down!" Selphie yelled as they continued their game. They were too busy playing to notice when the door of the gummi ship opened and two teenage girls stepped out onto the hot white sand.
"Jeez, now I know why adults always say to wear a seat belt," Yoko said, rubbing a bruise that was forming on her side.
"I have an owie on my head," Zera whined, rubbing the tender spot.
"Hey! Look out!" someone shouted as a blitzball went shooting past Yoko to hit Zera in the head. Zera, after being hit in the head twice, fell over unconscious. Yoko laughed at what had just happened to her friend until she heard people running towards her and Zera. She turned to face them.
"Hey! Is she okay?" Tidus asked.
"Yeah, she's okay Tidus," Yoko replied unconsciously. She immediately slapped her hand over her mouth to stop herself from saying more. They gave her strange looks.
"How do you know my name?" he asked.
"Um…I will not speak unless in the presence of my lawyer?" she replied slowly, unsure of what to say.
"Did you guys come out of the gummi ship?" Selphie asked.
"Yeah, I had it on auto pilot, but I forgot to put the landing gear on auto pilot too, so we crashed," Yoko explained.
"Why did you come here?" Kairi asked.
"To find you," Yoko told her.
"Why me?"
"Because we, Zera and I, are trying to reunite you, Riku, and Sora."
"How do you know them?"
"…"
"If you don't even have an answer, then I don't believe you."
"I need Zera awake to help me explain it, and as you can see, she is still knocked out."
"Well why can't you tell us?"
"Because I need Zera to help me explain!"
"Why do you need her to help you explain something!"
"Because I just do! Now stop asking me stupid questions!"
"Why?"
"That's it!" Yoko yelled as she lunged to attack Kairi, who had unknowingly pushed Yoko over her anger limit. Unfortunately for Yoko, Zera had somehow magically revived and pounced on her.
"Hello everbody!" she said happily, sitting on Yoko's back.
"Would you mind getting off me Zera!" Yoko yelled from under her.
"Not unless you promise to be nice to Kairi and not attack her," Zera said, poking Yoko's head.
"Fine," she grumbled, and Zera got off of her.
"Anyway, I am soooooooooooo happy to actually meet you all! My name's Zera, and her name's Yoko. I already know all of your names, so you don't need to introduce yourselves," Zera said.
"Zera, we still need to tell them how we know about them and Sora and Riku," Yoko whispered in Zera's ear.
"Okay, but why are we whispering?" Zera whispered back. Yoko rolled her eyes and turned to face everybody.
"Let's all go over to the paopu tree!" Zera said excitedly. She began running to the shack that led there. Yoko groaned and ran after Zera.
"We better follow them or we're never gonna know why they're here, ya?" Wakka suggested. They all nodded in agreement and ran off after them. When they got there, Zera was sitting happily on the paopu tree, and Yoko was leaning against a nearby tree.
"Hello my fellow…people!" Zera waved to them. Yoko shook her head.
"Ignore her. She gets really hyper and can sometimes act really random and crazy," Yoko said walking over to them.
"Hey! You can be like that too if you have enough sugar!" Zera yelled, jumping from her seat and walking over to them like Yoko was doing.
"Okay, could you please tell me how you know about us now?" Kairi asked in a frustrated voice.
"We come from the planet Ori-" Yoko slapped her hand over Zera's mouth once again.
"Don't make me go over this again Zera," Yoko hissed, slowly removing her hand from her friend's mouth. Zera stuck her tongue out at Yoko.
"Anyway, we come from a world where you are all in a video game called 'Kingdom Hearts'. You guys are all characters in it, and we know about Leon, Yuffie, Cloud, and Aerith who are all in Traverse Town. Are you with me so far?" Yoko asked, wanting to make sure they understood.
"I still don't believe you," Kairi said defiantly.
"ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? JEEZ, HOW LONG-" Zera tackled Yoko again.
"You said you wouldn't be mean to her again," Zera said, once again sitting on Yoko's back.
"I DON'T CARE! EITHER LET ME KILL HER OR GET IT THROUGH HER FUCKING HEAD THAT WE'RE TELLING THE TRUTH DAMMIT!" Yoko yelled, trying to get out from under Zera.
"Holy shit you're loud," Zera said, uncovering her ears.
"Okay, okay. I believe you. Jeez," Kairi said, holding her hands up in defeat. Zera sat on Yoko for a few more minutes to let her calm down.
"You okay now?" she asked.
"Yeah. Still pissed, but better," Yoko replied, getting up when Zera got off of her.
"Well that was interesting," Tidus said, still a little confused about Yoko's outburst.
"Uh-huh," Wakka and Selphie said together, nodding their heads.
"So anyway, our world was taken over by the heartless, and we woke up in Traverse
Town. That's how we got the gummi ship!" Zera said.
"And then we came here to get Kairi, and then go find Sora and Riku," Yoko concluded.
"But how are you gonna leave when your ship is trashed, man?" Wakka asked.
"Ummmmmmmm……………" Zera and Yoko said. They didn't know how to fix it, or what they would need to fix anyway. Zera gasped.
"I think I know how to fix it!" she said, and ran back over to the ship. The others followed her. When they got there, she had already begun to work on it.
"Um, Zera? What are you doing?" Yoko asked.
"What does it look like? I'm fixin' the gummi ship!" Zera called from on top of the massive ship.
"Do you even know how?" Yoko yelled back.
"I told earlier I thought I know how, and I do! I think it's kinda like how you know how to drive it!" Zera shouted. There was silence for a few minutes.
"I'm finished! All we need are some light bulbs to replace the ones that broke and turn it back upright, and then we're all set!" Zera said, jumping down to them.
"Wow, I never knew you could posses such skill in that small brain of yours," Yoko said with a smirk.
"I know…HEY! That was rude and uncalled for!" Zera pouted.
"So?" Yoko said, uninterested.
"Sooo…I feel like doing a jazz square (those are so much fun!)," Zera said. She pulled Tidus and Wakka over to teach them how to do a jazz square. Selphie, Kairi and Yoko stood there, shaking their heads at their friend's stupidity. Eventually they learned, and the three other girls fell over laughing at the sight of Tidus, Wakka, and Zera doing a jazz square, and later, the can-can.
"Okay, okay. That's enough stupidity for one day," Yoko said wiping a tear from her eye (yes, she was laughing so hard it made her cry).
"I agree," Selphie said, trying to quiet her laughter. Kairi nodded in agreement. Zera and the boys came back over to them.
"So when are going?" Zera asked as she sat down in the sand.
"Well, when do you want to go?" Yoko replied.
"Um……I donno," Zera said.
"How about as soon as I get my stuff together?" Kairi suggested.
"Yeah, sure. That sounds great," Yoko said.
"And now…we shall go to Kairi's house!" Zera shouted as she struck her heroic pose. Yoko did the same.
"To the docks!" she yelled as they ran to their destination. Kairi shrugged her shoulders and ran after them. They took Kairi's boat so they could get to her house. Once there, Yoko and Zera sat on the porch waiting for Kairi to finish her packing.
"Why do you think we have Keyblades?" Yoko asked.
"That reminds me, does your keyblade have a name? Mine is Midnight Shadow!" Zera said.
"My keyblade is called Blood Dragon's Shadow," Yoko replied holding out her keyblade in front of her.
"Cool name," Zera said.
"I like yours too," Yoko replied. They sat in silence for a while. Zera sighed, and looked out across the ocean.
"So…" Zera trailed off.
"Back to my first question: why do you think we have our keyblades?" Yoko asked once again.
"I'm not sure, but…I think there is a reason we were given them and taken here. And even if I'm not sure what will happen…I want to believe that everything will turn out okay in the end," Zera said quietly. Yoko smiled at her friend.
"Me too. I just hope we don't end up fighting each other," Yoko said. Zera laughed.
"Yeah, you'd probably kick my ass," she said.
"That may be true, but you have gotten better," Yoko told her.
"Maybe…" Zera trailed off again. They heard the door open. So they turned around to see Kairi lugging out a huge bag.
"Uh, you're gonna need to travel lighter," Zera said.
"Yeah, waaaaaaaaaaaaaay lighter," Yoko agreed.
"But it's got my essentials in it," Kairi argued.
"Well that's just too bad. Now exactly what do you have in there?" Yoko asked. Kairi thought for a moment.
"Um…my clothes, toiletries, make-up, stuff like that," Kairi said.
"It seems like you packed your entire wardrobe in there," Zera observed. Kairi flushed. Yoko sighed and got up. Zera did the same.
"Well, we better get going," Yoko said, walking toward the dock where Kairi's boat was.
"Okay Capitan! Let's move out!" Zera said. She picked up Kairi's bag with ease, like it was the lightest thing in the world. Kairi followed dumbly behind.
"How can you pick up that heavy thing?" she asked as she rowed the boat back to the other island.
"I'm stronger than I look. I may be dumb, but eight years of gymnastics has given me the strength I have now. Thank you Mel!" Zera said.
"You mean Mel from school?" Yoko asked. Zera shook her head.
"Nope! My gymnastic coach who happens to be the person who made us all do lots of conditioning stuff," Zera said.
"We're here," Kairi said. They all got off, and helped get the bag out of the boat without getting it wet.
"We're back!" Zera yelled. Selphie, Tidus, and Wakka immediately ran up to them. Kairi hugged all of them.
"I've got to go now, okay?" Kairi said. She smiled at her friends as Zera and Yoko waited for her at the doorway.
"We'll miss you," Selphie said.
"Make sure you come back," Tidus told her.
"And make sure you bring the guys back, ya?" Wakka said, grinning. Kairi nodded.
"I will…well, bye!" Kairi said, walking towards the ship with tear glistening the corners of her eyes. She stopped in front of Yoko and Zera.
"You ready to go?" Zera asked. Kairi nodded and they went into the ship.
"So where are we going now?" she asked as they walked to the control room.
"Well, we might as well search all of the worlds and any new ones we find to see if Sora is there," Yoko said.
"I say we go to the Olympus Coliseum!" Zera said.
"Why?" Yoko asked.
"Cause they might have a tournament there," Zera said.
"And if there's a tournament, then Sora might be there too!" Kairi added excitedly.
"Okay, I guess we're going to the Coliseum then," Yoko said slowly. She sat down and started to drive once again, while Zera and Kairi fooled around in the background, annoying Yoko more than before. It only took a short while to get there.
"Guys, we're here," Yoko said, interrupting Zera and Kairi singing the 'If You're Happy and You Know It…' song.
"Yay!" Zera said running towards the door.
"I'm gonna go enter us in the tournament if there is one okay Zera?" Yoko shouted.
"Okie dokie!" Zera yelled back.
"Is she always this hyper?" Kairi asked as she walked in the building with Yoko.
"You should see our other friends," she replied.
"There are more of you?" Kairi asked surprised at this new fact.
"Uh-huh, and they are a lot weirder than her. But they aren't here," Yoko said as she walked up to Phil so she could enter Zera and herself.
