Chapter 8

Sora said to me, "Do you really want to join the organization?" I looked at him and said, "You make it sound like I'm going to lose." "Just be careful. I don't like the look of this guy." Sora said. I assured him, "Don't worry, since when have I not been on my guard." The man jumped down to me and said, "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Hun. I am the…. 'caretaker' of young Lono here." I said, "Lets just start this battle." He taunted me by saying, "Anxious to join the organization are we?"

I looked at him with an angry face. Then I looked at Lono. He looked scared. I knew that he didn't want to go back with Hun. I said to him, "Don't worry, this hunter's not going to get you.

We activated our world cards. Next thing, we were in Deep Jungle. It was time for our character cards. Sora was ready to go. Out of the bamboo came Clayton, holding his gun, looking ready to shoot Sora. My move, "I play, Jungle King." Jungle King key appeared in Sora's hand. Sora watched Clayton cautiously, thinking that he might pull the same trick Barbossa did, and went in for his attack. Direct hit. I stocked a card and ended my turn. "My move," Hun said. He drew his card, "I play, Gun Throw." Clayton readied his gun and threw it at Sora like a boomerang. "I play Kingdom Key." Sora whipped out the keyblade and used it to block Clayton's throw. As soon as the gun hit, the keyblade disappeared. Since it had an equal level to Hun's card, all it could do was defend. 'That was way to close for comfort.' "Now I play, Hunter's Shot." Clayton loaded his gun and shot it. The bullet went straight into Sora's gut. I felt a pain in my heart. But it was stronger this time than in any other battle Sora and I have ever been in. 'Okay, that hurt. Man, this guy really knows what he's doing.' I had to make sure that we didn't fall into any more traps like that.

SCORE:

Sora: 11

Clayton: 33

Obviously, we were in trouble. This guy was tougher than anyone else we had ever faced. It was his turn again. "I play, Chameleon Heartless." Suddenly, Clayton started to rise in the air. It turned out that a chameleon like heartless was lifting him up. The heartless attacked Sora with its tongue. Sora was 6 HP. 'Come on. We need a card that could win this.' I drew. "I play, Kingdom Key." Sora pulled out the keyblade and attacked Clayton and his heartless. "Just give it up lad. It's over." Hun said to me. I said to him, "If there's one thing I've learned from playing this game, it's that it's not over until it's over. I play, Jungle Rampage"

Out of almost nowhere, the gorillas, led by Tarzan, came and smashed Clayton off of the heartless. Just then, we heard the trumpeting of elephants. Hun and Clayton had worried looks on their faces. Then out of the bamboo came a stampede of elephants, being ridden by Goofy. He yelled, "Charge!!!" The elephants trumpeted, and rammed Clayton's heartless all over the place. Sora summoned the Jungle King key and threw it at the chameleon heartless. The key smacked it upside the head, making it faint. It fell right on top of Clayton. Clayton watched it fall and said, "Not again."

We were back in the lion habitat. Hun fell to his knees and said, "Well, I lost. Here is my card of Clayton." "And here my card of Scar." said Lono from behind me. "Well, even though Lono is no longer an organization member, I'm still going to be his caretaker. Don't worry, I'll make sure that he stays happy and out of the hands of the organization," Hun said to me. Lono looked happy to hear this. I guess he thought that Hun wasn't so bad when he wasn't working for Organization XIII. "That's good." I said.

When I got home I said, "Hey Sora, do you happen to know why I fell your pain in my heart. I never really noticed it much until today." Sora said, "I think that it's because we have a growing bond. Our hearts becoming one."

I said to him, "That makes sense. I guess."
