Chapter 2:Run Away!
Kotaro let out an angry cry and he sliced his way thru a Soldier Heartless before whipping around and hitting a Shadow. The rabbit rapidly swung his mallet and caught a few Shadows in his rapid flurry of blows.
A Soldier Heartless came up behind the rabbit, but he jumped up and flipped backwards, landing right behind the Soldier and brought his mallet down on the Soldier's head, shattering it into black mist.
"Hey!" Kotaro cried as he kicked away a Shadow that was coming at him. "What's your name?"
"Oswald!" The rabbit cried back as he swung his mallet at another Soldier. "Or as my friends call me, 'The Lucky Rabbit'!"
Kotaro gave an amused smirk as he bashed a Soldier on the head.
"I like you, your not too bad in a fight!" Kotaro said, doing a back flip and stomping on two Shadows. "And my name's Kotaro"
"Your not so bad either!" Oswald said as he performed a spin with his mallet.
After much battling, the last Heartless was slayed. Kotaro and Oswald breathed heavily in exhaustion. They both groaned as more Heartless spawned up, they were soon forced into the corner with the woman they were trying to save.
"Oh come on! Enough already!" Kotaro cried.
"Wait!" Oswald cried. "I think I have a portable hole!"
Oswald then dug into his pants, throwing out random objects looking for the said item (One of the thrown out items was an anvil). He soon pulled out a black circle which he threw down on the ground and jumped into.
"Come on!!" Oswald cried from inside the hole.
Kotaro turned to the woman.
"Miss! This way!" He commanded as he jumped in too.
The woman followed suit and jumped in also. As the Heartless dove for the hole, it vanished.
On another street corner, a hole suddenly appeared on the side of a building, which spat out Kotaro, Oswald, and the woman.
"Nice save back there…" Kotaro said.
"We toons got to think on our feet in times like that…" Oswald replied.
"…Toon?" Kotaro asked.
"Of course!" Oswald replied. "We're all Toon's right?"
Kotaro remembered something that the sage told him, that it would be wise not to let on that he was from another world.
"Oh, right!" Kotaro smiled. "Yeah, we are!"
The woman slowly stood up and looked down at her saviors. Upon seeing the woman, Oswald and Kotaro quickly scrambled to their feet.
"Thank you for saving me…" She said. "You two are quite strong…"
The two blushed.
"I-It was nothing…" Oswald said.
"We…just wanted to help…" Kotaro added.
The woman gave an amused smile. She then approached them, leaning close.
"Then maybe you two can help me?" She asked, batting her eyes at them.
The two gulped hard.
"A-Alright…" Oswald stammered.
"Wh-what do you need help with?" Kotaro asked.
She turned away from them, looking out into the distance.
"I'm trying to find my darling husband…" She said. "I can't find him anywhere…"
"Wait, she's married??" Kotaro and Oswald both thought.
Kotaro shook his head slightly.
"Why can't you find him?" He asked.
"…He's on the run…" She replied.
"From who?" Oswald asked.
"From US!" A voice called.
The three turned around, only to see a group of weasel's in various outfits, and all holding guns.
"And who might you all be?" Kotaro glared.
"The Toon Patrol!" The leader said. "We hunt Toons who run from the law, and WE'RE the law!"
"Say's who?" Kotaro asked.
"The Judge, that's who!"
Kotaro remembered hearing about the Judge from Bonkers earlier.
"And we'll find him, he can't run from us!" The leader said again.
"Not if we find him first!" Oswald challenged.
"Then we'll just get you too!" The leader cried.
Kotaro took out his Keyblade.
"You and what army??" Kotaro yelled.
As if on cue, several Heartless suddenly spawned behind the weasels, their numbers were so massive that they wrapped around the other street corner.
"Oh…." Kotaro said. "THAT army…"
"Run for it!" Oswald cried.
The woman, Kotaro, and Oswald then took off running.
"Get 'em boys!" The leader called as the other weasels and Heartless ran after them.
"Geeze! I've only been here 20 minutes and already I'm in trouble!" Kotaro cried as he ran.
As they rounded the next corner, the woman suddenly stopped running.
"Why are you stopping??" Oswald asked. "We'll get caught!"
The woman stepped to the edge of the sidewalk, and stuck her thumb out.
"What's THAT gonna do??" Kotaro cried out.
In an instance, a cartoon car suddenly pulled up, it was yellow and had a face on it like everything else in the world.
"Jessica! Good to see ya!" The car said "How's Roger?"
"He's in trouble Benny, and so are we!" The woman known as Jessica replied.
Benny looked and saw the Weasel's and Heartless coming.
"Whoa!" He cried. "Ok everyone, hop in!"
"Not the escape I was expecting but I'll take it!" Kotaro said as he climbed in.
When they were all in, Benny sped off, leaving the Weasel's and Heartless behind.
"Looks like we got away…" Oswald sighed as he looked back.
"I don't think so…" Kotaro said, pointing forward.
There on the road, spawned three more Heartless, these were in the shape of cars, their radiators were a set of razor sharp teeth, and their hood ornament where the Heartless Crest.
"Oh great…Hot Rods…" Kotaro groaned.
Benny swerved out of the way of the blockade, but the Hot Rods sped after them.
"You guys go on ahead!" Kotaro commanded. "I'll deal with these road hogs!"
Kotaro jumped out and rolled as he hit the street. As Benny, Jessica, and Oswald got away, the Hot Rods stopped in front of Kotaro, standing up on their back wheels.
Kotaro took out his Keyblade and charged at them. One of them suddenly punched Kotaro in the face with one of the front tires and quickly drew back. Kotaro rubbed his sore face, which had blood trailing down his nose.
"THAT'S why I hate you guys…"
Kotaro dove in for another attack, only to get punched again. Every time he got anywhere near them he got bashed in the face.
"Alright, NOW you're making me mad!!" Kotaro yelled, blood trailing down his entire face.
Kotaro ran and this time jumped. He flipped thru the air, and slashed at one of the Hot Rods, destroying it.
"That's one!"
Another Hot Rod came up from behind, but Kotaro spun right around and slashed it, destroying that one too.
"That's two!"
The only remaining Hot Rod made the sound of a car horn. It then laid down on all four wheels and tore at Kotaro, slamming into him and sending him flying into the air.
"Another reason why I hate you guys!!!" Kotaro cried as he flew into the air.
As Kotaro came back down, The Hot Rod tore at him again, hitting him once more and sending him flying back into the air.
"Ok, that does it!!"
The next time Kotaro came back down, he held his Keyblade up.
"REFLECT!!"
A shield then suddenly appeared around Kotaro as he hit the ground. The Hot Rod bounced off the shield and was blown backwards.
As the shield vanished, Kotaro weakly stood up, breathing heavily. The Hot Rod was at the other end of the street, revving its engine and ready to run Kotaro over.
"….Bring it…" Kotaro challenged.
The tires squealed as the Hot Rod charged at him. Kotaro watched as the Hot Rod came closer and closer. He then held the Keyblade with both hands, arching back as if to swing it like a bat. He then closed his eyes, focusing his energy.
"Sonic…"
As he heard the Hot Rod come even closer he opened his eyes and suddenly vanished and re-appeared behind the Hot Rod, facing the other way with his Keyblade out.
"BLADE!!!"
The Hot Rod stopped dead in its tracks before exploding into black mist. Kotaro breathed heavily, blood dripping from his face.
"I…REALLY hate those guys…." Kotaro commented to himself.
He then heard the sound of a car coming up from behind.
"Oh no, not more of them…" Kotaro groaned.
He turned around, only to see that it was Benny! Oswald leaned out of the side and held his hand out. Kotaro grabbed Oswald's hand, and was pulled in as Benny passed.
"Kotaro!" Oswald cried. "Are you alright??"
"I'm fine…" He sighed. "I just got to rest for awhile…"
"Your tough stuff kid…" Benny said, looking back at them. "But you don't LOOK ok…"
"…What kind of Toon bleed's?" Jessica thought as she looked at him.
"Just keep your eyes on the road…" Kotaro said to Benny.
Benny turned around to look back at the road and gasped. Before he could react, a man on the side walk suddenly tipped over a metal barrel filled with green liquid. The liquid spilled out all over the road. Benny couldn't stop in time, and ran over the liquid, which caused him to spin out.
"WE'VE BEEN DIPPED!!!!!!" Benny cried as they spun.
As Benny spun around, he smashed into a lamppost which sent Jessica, Kotaro, and Oswald flying out. They landed hard on the sidewalk, tumbling a bit.
As they recovered, the man who spilled the barrel approached them, standing over them. He was an old looking man, who wore all black and carried a cane with him, he wore dark sunglasses and had an evil look on his face, but the one thing that caught Kotaro's attention was that he looked human, unlike everyone else in ToonTown.
"What an unfortunate accident…" He said, pretending to sound concerned. "Nothing more dangerous then a slippery road and riding in a maniacal Toon vehicle…"
"Judge Doom…" Jessica glared.
At that moment, a black van pulled up next to the side-walk, with the Weasel's at the wheel.
"Don't just stand there you idiots!" Doom said to the Weasel's. "Get them in the van…"
Oswald looked at Kotaro.
"Think we can take them?" He asked.
"Can't…" Kotaro said, breathing heavily, and with blood coming down his face and arms (which got scrapped on the sidewalk during the fall) "I overdid it in that last fight…I can't even move…"
"I guess we have no choice then…" Jessica said.
With that, the Weasel's lead them into the back of their van (They had to pick Kotaro up and throw him in). With the last of them in the van, Doom climbed in also, and they sped off, their destination unknown.
Oookay, here's the second chap.
Now then, for those of you who are wondering who Oswald is... Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was the first cartoon character Walt ever created, LONG before he ever created the Mouse. Oswald is frogotten because Walt had lost the rights to him to Universal a long time ago (And only recently did Disney reaquire the rights after more then 80 years)
And some of you are probably going 'Whoa, whoa, backtrack, if he looks like a 1920's cartoon, shouldn't he be in Timeless River?' Well... while that IS more logical...Timeless River was a doorway to the past that Sora used to stop Pete...I'm assuming afterwards, Merlin closed the doorway again....and besides, Oswald is a Toon, so it's also logical for him to be int ToonTown.
Anyway R&R
