::KINGDOM HEARTS III Online HD::
-Gummi Party-
The next morning came in Midlight City High School, and students invaded their school halls, not looking forward to yet another day of lectures, quizzes and exams. But then a large body of popular kids were causing a commotion over at the quad, drawing most of these students into the most exciting news, besides the last day of school before Spring Break. Rian and Taylor were among some of these students drawn to the commotion.
"I wonder what's going on?" Taylor looked curious.
"Maybe they've found Blazen!" Rian lit up.
Taylor shook her head, "Don't be ridiculous. It must be--!"
"Guys!" another female voice called out to Rian and Taylor. The duo were greeted by the voice's source. It was a blonde girl with highlights who had large and perky eyes, and wore a white shirt, mini shorts, and sneakers matching her shirt, with a snow-white colored sweater attached around her neck, making it look like she was wearing a cape.
"Sierra!" Taylor greeted the girl, "Hey girl, what's going on?"
"What's with all the commotion?" Rian asked.
Sierra gasped, "Don't tell me you guys aren't aware of the hottest party ever?!"
"A hot party?" Taylor gasped, "Who's hosting?" she then held off her cheer, "Oh, wait! Don't tell me. It's some senior jock who cares about nothing but more of themselves, right?"
Sierra shook her head, "No, it's that new kid Talen Brightfire! Tonight's his Sweet-16 Birthday Bash!"
Taylor lit up like a bright light. "TALEN?!"
Rian frowned, "Talen?!"
Sierra went on, "Ohmygosh, he is sooo hot…I heard his parties are like, being at a celebrity pool party with three huge pools in the backyard, and in the balcony, and another one in the middle of the living room! Seriously!"
"A pool in the middle of a living room?! Shut UP!" Taylor freaked out, "We gotta get to that party like RIGHT THIS INSTANT!"
Taylor and Sierra went dashing for the group of students to get their invite and get the scoop.
"Hey wait a minute, what--?" Rian didn't finish and the girls were already gone. "Oh, great." he sighed.
Johnny Thunder was back at the Radiant Kingdom, looking at a holographic map hovering above his digital gauntlet, and scanning the street he was in.
"So, according to Terra, I must locate the King's Royal Friends, Donald and Goofy." He said before pushing a few more buttons on his gauntlet, and in came Donald and Goofy's stats screen.
"Now, where could those two be?" he pondered, looking across his surroundings, until his eyes got fixed on a large colorful and stylish Gummi Ship resting at the kingdom's airship deck. It was large enough to fit 100 people, sophisticated enough to look like a jet.
"Whoaa!" he breathed, "Is that a Gummi Ship?"
Donald and Goofy were also admiring the ship's new jet-like design, unaware that Thunder was behind them.
"Gee, Donald." Goofy began, "It was awful nice for Terra to give us his Gummi Ship. And just look at how stylish it looks like!"
"Yeah, real stylish!" Donald replied, "I wonder how fast it goes comparing to our old Gummi ship?"
"Probably like a jet?" Goofy guessed, pointing out at the design.
"You mean a Sonic Jet!" Thunder's exclamation made Donald and Goofy jump. Donald landed on Goofy's arms, shaking.
"I gotta tell you, man! Boardin' this ship before was tight. But seeing it from its full-exterior is WAY cool!" Rian chuckled.
Donald jumped off Goofy and gave Rian a mean stare, "And just who the quack are you?"
"Don't y'all know me?" Rian replied, "I'm Rian! I mean… ahem!" he cleared his throat, "I'm Johnny! Johnny 'Thunder' Keyblade. You can also call me Thunder."
Donald rolled his eyes, "Whatever."
"Hey! Aren't you one of the new Keybearers?" Goofy asked, "The one possessin' one of them Hearts of Pure Light?"
"You mean, Bravery?" Rian corrected.
"That too!"
Donald sighed, "I guess he is, Goofy." he then turned around to face the Gummi Ship in admiration, "Terra told us you'd be here lookin' for us." he addressed Thunder, before heading toward the ship, "Come on, we got lots of adventures ahead of us!"
Thunder startled, "Wait, whoa! Adventures? Where're we goin'?"
Donald spun around to face Thunder, "To the worlds of course!" he said, his arms raised up high in glory, "You! Me! Goofy! Pluto! Other Keybearers…! We've got places to go! People to see! We got a quest to fulfill!"
"Yeah!" Goofy replied, "Like uh… find them other Keybearers with Hearts of Pure Gold!"
"Bravery, Goofy." Donald corrected.
"That too!" Goofy said again, "And we gotta find the King too!"
"Whoa, the King?" Thunder said, "As in the King of Disney Castle, King Mickey? Aw, man!" he sighed, "Look guys, as tempting as I feel about going with y'all on this fantastic voyage, I can't. I was told to find you and that was it, not to get into this full-length epic quest! I got school!"
But then Thunder paused, rethinking what he just said. Though it's importantly crucial to attend school, the thrill of going onto an adventure based on an ever-popular video game, is WAY better than school.
"Although…" he smirked, "that makes a great excuse to skip school and save the world instead!"
Donald and Goofy smiled at each other before facing Rian, "OK!" Donald said, "And as we'll be heading out, you'll be undergoing a module of training sessions in order to get well-adapted with your Keyblade and your magical powers."
"Sweet! And before we do take off," Thunder added, "how about you let me borrow this…" he laid hand on the Gummi Ship, staring at its magnificent coat, "… beautiful tricked-out goddess of all high speeds here--?"
"No!" Donald snapped.
"What?" Thunder exclaimed, "But you didn't let me finish!"
"The Gummi Ship is made specifically for traveling-only, not for showing off at parties!" Donald added.
"Only one party!" Rian protested, "And it's the hottest one of the year! It's Talen Brightfire's Sweet 16!"
"Gawrsh, Talen Blindfire? Is he also a Keybearer?" Goofy scratched his head.
Rian scoffed, "You wish. He's this obnoxious guy at my school who thinks he's all-that. I wanna show him what it's like to be all that by crashing his party with this!"
Rian raised his arms in admiration to the Gummi Ship on cue, "Huh? See how beautiful this is?"
Donald and Goofy stared briefly at each other, before facing Thunder again. "Oh, I get it!" Donald beamed, "You're worried about losing your popularity to another cool kid, huh?"
Goofy laughed on cue. Thunder hesitated, "Whaat?"
"Hyuck! That is totally true!" Goofy snickered.
Thunder quickly shook his head, "No! That's totally not it! I'm not worried about a party stealing my popularity streak! I'm not!" Thunder then laughed nervously, "No, really!"
Donald and Goofy shook their heads in disbelief.
"Then stop worrying about it, Johnny!" Donald advised, "It's just a party." he started walking away, but then he stopped to give Thunder a quick glance, "Deal with it, and keep out of the ship till we come back."
Donald and Goofy leave the dock. Thunder sighed, "I wish I could." he told himself. He then proceeded to turn on his digital gauntlet. A holographic video displayed, and he turned horrified by what he saw.
"He's not having his party at his house! He's having it at the Midlight City Central Plaza!"
Talen's Sweet-16 Birthday Bash kicked off with the usual grand Happy Birthday song, completed with fireworks, drinks, howling cheers, and a blasting live concert from guest musical sensations like Rascal Flatts, Green Day, Yuna and her girlfriends, and even Jonas Brothers, that ripped the city's night sky. The party raided the entire city's atmosphere by storm, and everyone (the entire city) was invited.
Students from the school were not just the usual party guests. They were part of it. For they too received gifts from Talen Brightfire, and autographs from their favorite bands. And because the city's Plaza was near a fountain and over at a beach, the waters were infested with the usual beachgoers and party animals.
"Hey, Taylor!" called out Sierra from a distance. Taylor, whose mind was preoccupied, didn't respond until she saw her friend approach. Sierra was with her boyfriend Pierre. He was tall and dashing with his sandy blond hair with sideburns and green eyes, and wore casual sea-green T-shirt, jeans and matching shoes.
"Hey, what's wrong?" she asked, "I called you and you didn't respond!"
Taylor carried a sad look on her face, "Matt's not coming." she said solemnly.
Sierra looked stunned at the news, "What? Your boyfriend's not coming?"
"He got held up at work." Taylor explained.
"But this is the party of the year!" Sierra protested, "Everyone should come!"
Pierre shrugged, "But they'll be other parties." he said.
Sierra and Taylor took sharp breaths, "Other… parties?" Sierra repeated sternly.
Pierre hesitated, his eyes looked over the two glaring girls, "Did I say something wrong?"
"Yeah." Sierra replied, her voice still high-pitched, "Other. Parties. Did you not hear me say 'Party of the year'?"
"I… guess I did?" Pierre smiled sheepishly.
"Yo, everybody! Can I get your A-TEN-SHUUN!?" Talen projected his voice from over a set of turntables, with a headphone held over one ear while holding a microphone with his right hand.
The massive city crowd cheered in response.
"Are you ready to get down and funky with some of the MAD-DJ-STYLE of the year from the Birthday BOYY?"
The crowd went wild again, and Talen played on cue some hip-hop mix of Subarashiki Kono Sekai + The World Ends with You and Street Fighter III, and more hip-hop coolness.
No one in the city were aware of the menace watching them from above the highest skyscraper. It was Tidicus and Ivy again.
"I believe that we too are ready for the party." Tidicus glanced over at Ivy with a snooty smile.
"You mean the party that we didn't get an invite to?" Ivy replied, before snapping her fingers. The Neo-Behemoth materialized behind them on cue.
"I believe so too." she smiled back and Tidicus chuckled. The Neo-Behemoth roared on cue.
Talen's birthday party was going full-blast, to Thunder's shock and panic. He couldn't believe the party was going to take away his popularity. And he was still standing there, watching!
He quickly shut off the holographic screen with the gauntlet and started pacing back and forth, "I gotta do something." he pondered, "I gotta crash that party. But…" he paused, "but how?"
He glanced over the Gummi Ship. That ship is his only ticket! But then again Donald and Goofy, mostly Donald, restricted him to touch it.
He looked over the dock and over the kingdom. He saw no one in sight. No Donald. No Goofy. No one. The coast was clear.
He slipped on his sunglasses and seized that chance to sneak into the ship. He took one last look over the Radiant Kingdom to see if no one was watching him, before quickly boarding.
He went over the pilot seat and faced the ship's control panel, looking for a switch or something to start off the ship.
"Okay… what to push. What to push." Thunder sounded fretting. So many buttons and switches were laid in front of him, he was afraid of activating the wrong one. But then again, he had to turn it on fast before he get caught. He was breaking a rule here!
Heck, he always broke the rules. Being the bad boy always brought him that much excitement, especially the excitement of knowing when he'll get—!
"BARK!"
Thunder spun around in panic, nearly fell off his seat. He saw Pluto, slowly approaching and growling.
"Ohh-Kay." Thunder stammered, "Good boy. I'm…" he then raised his hands in surrender, "I'm not gonna touch anything. See?"
Pluto continued growling. Thunder slowly got up, his hands still up, "But you just need to know, that my reputation's at stake here… so… how about we talk this out, huh?"
Thunder tripped on the pilot's chair when he wasn't looking and his elbow pulled a switch. The entire ship illuminated, then a humming was heard at every corner, and the ship's engine started.
PREPARE TO TAKE OFF! PREPARE TO TAKE OFF! A voiceover was heard. Pluto and Thunder looked around, not liking where this was going. Thunder tried to pull the switch back in place, but nothing happened.
The ship's door was heard closing. Thunder ran for it. Pluto followed. They were too late. The door had closed.
"Aw man! It's locked!"
The ship started budging and Thunder knew what this meant. With no choice, he ran for the pilot's seat and put on his seatbelt just in time for the ship to start moving. Pluto went for his safety belt also.
"Look man! I know you must really hate me now, but you gotta help me out here pal!" Thunder begged Pluto, "I dunno how to work this thing!"
Pluto was too afraid and confused to respond.
"Aw, who am I kidding?" Thunder confessed to himself, his voice shaking, " A dog can't ride this either! We're doomed!"
Donald and Goofy returned to the dock just in time to watch the Gummi Ship taking off before their very eyes. The duo blankly stared at it disappearing into the sky and out of view.
"I think we shouldn't left the door open." Goofy muttered after a moment of silence.
Talen's Sweet 16 birthday bash was still going full-blast. No one was paying attention to the summoned menace that was watching over them from a skyscraper, and peering its hungry eyes over its next victims. The Behemoth growled again, but the music drowned out its roar.
Talen sensed uneasiness in his heart. He peered across the sky before looking over his party guests, who were dancing the night away. He went over another DJ, asked him to take over his turntables, before stepping down. He saw Taylor and approached her.
"Hey, you!" he called her.
Taylor frowned. What kind of formality was that, she wondered? "I have a name y'know?" she bitterly said.
"Yeah, I know." Talen said uncaringly, "And that'll take time and interest. So whatever, where is your boyfriend? I need to talk to him. It's urgent." Talen asked, referring to his rival Rian.
"Y'know?" Taylor turned to glare at Talen, dismissing his question, "For a popular kid, you got some nerve talking to people who may end up being your friends…" she briefly paused, "or your enemies like that."
Talen rolled his eyes like he didn't have time for that nonsense now, "Honey, unless you wanna tell me where Rian is, you're wasting your breath," he said, "I need to challenge the coward to a KH battle, but since he's not crashing my party, then good riddance."
Taylor's jaws were dropped at that first comment, "Oh my gosh." she said, "You are such a--!" Taylor stopped talking, suddenly stunned at the game disc Talen held up. She faced him again, a smirk slowly appearing on her lips "…wait, you play Kingdom Hearts 3 Online HD?"
Talen shrugged, "Sure. What's it to ya?"
Taylor provocatively pierced Talen's chest with her finger, "I bet you can't defeat me in a Kingdom Hearts battle."
Her challenge pulled the crowd's attention away from the party and into the duo's commotion.
"Oh, so you a gamer huh?" Talen said with a smirk, before giving a good glance at Taylor from toes to head. He pursed his lips, "Meh." he muttered, "You'll get your figure back."
The crowd oohed in response. Taylor's eyes coldly stared at Talen. Both Taylor and Talen were facing each other, unaware the crowd had surrounded them to form a circle, but they both knew that they were going to battle whether the crowd was present or not.
Taylor and Talen took steps back, and the crowd watched a giant blimp hovering over the plaza with a huge HDTV screen dangled by it.
Taylor and Talen pulled out their WiFi wireless controllers as if by magic, eyes at each other as if peering deep into their souls in search of each others' weaknesses.
"Ready to game?" Talen mustered a smile.
"Then game." Taylor replied.
Talen suddenly felt that uneasiness in his heart again. His sneaky eyes looked around its corners warily. Taylor felt that same way also. They both knew something bad was going to happen.
A cry was heard from a distance. A star blinked in the sky, giving that sense that something was falling from above. Suddenly the Gummi ship appeared, falling like a shooting star at great speed. It pierced through the blimp, and its HDTV screen landed hard on the plaza midst and shattered into million pieces.
Everyone ran screaming as the Gummi ship was heading toward them.
Rian and Pluto were also screaming, trying to stop the Gummi ship's fall.
"HOW DO I STOP THIS THING?!" Rian shouted as he kept on pushing buttons and pulling switches, but nothing happened. He finally reached for a cord underneath the control panel and pulled. The Gummi ship stopped midair. Its nose was inches away from the plaza's fountain, which was the shape of a group of mermaids. The crowd fell uneasily silent.
"Did it stop?" Rian wondered. He rushed out with Pluto and opened the door to see the ship had frozen in the air. "Uwaah!"
The crowd gasped as well. Taylor and Talen couldn't believe what they saw.
"Rian! What are you doing?" Taylor exclaimed, before staring at the ship, "Is that a Gummi ship?!"
"Well, well, well, Rivers! Way to crash a party with such an entry show like this!" Talen looked impressed, "And I've been expecting you!"
"You've been expecting me?" Rian sounded surprised.
"And we've been expecting all of you." a dark, evil voice took over the atmosphere, like it was a god speaking. Everyone looked up, struck in fear.
"Who said that?" Talen shouted, fists clenched.
Two pairs of paws suddenly crashed on the plaza, causing a fissure on the ground and in the air. The Gummi ship pierced through the fountain and crashed on the ground, and the crowd quickly spread out in grave panic. The Neo-Behemoth had made its entrance and it let out a sky-ripping howl.
"Greetings, fellow Keybearers." Tidicus said in a delicate pose, "My, are we having a birthday bash? Oh shucks. I'm so sorry for crashing it! And I sure hope it's my birthday bash."
"Oh, it's a birthday bash all right. And believe me, it is so worth crashing it!" Ivy said before flipping her hair.
The Neo Behemoth roared on cue. Talen stared at the menace before him with utter amazement.
"Oh…my…GOSH!!" Talen beamed before facing Rian and Taylor, "Would you look at this beauty?! Whenever that game goes high-def, I'm still in shock!"
Taylor and Rian looked surprised. Tidicus and Ivy simply raised their eyebrow. Talen still thought that this was a game when he clearly was unaware of what was really happening here.
"For a 3D monster that Behemoth looked so real, I almost bowled over…" Talen said.
"Dude!" Rian snapped, "Get real! That's no 3D monster! That's a REAL monster!"
"Your friend Johnny's right" Tidicus beamed, "And you are battling real people with real weapons and real monsters." He sounded like he was talking to a baby.
Talen turned to stare at Rian in shock, "Johnny?" he repeated, "As in Johnny Boy?"
"And you have something that belongs to us, Blazen!" Ivy said, pointing her finger at Talen, to Rian and Taylor's surprises.
"Blazen?" they both exclaimed.
"Your heart." Ivy said and on cue the Neo-Behemoth raised his two front paws up, and landed them to the ground in an earth-shattering crash. The impact tore the ground off and caused rocks to pull from the ground, heading straight for the teens. The teens dodged.
"They can't be serious!" Rian shouted at Talen, "You can't be Blazen!"
The Neo Behemoth struck another fissure attack again. The teens dodged another blow.
"But then again that'll explain your arrogance in-game and in-life!" Rian added.
"Damn it, would you shut up and fight this thing, Johnny Boy?!" Talen exclaimed.
"It's Thunder!" Rian corrected.
The Neo-Behemoth attacked again with another fissure. The teens dodged once more. Talen pulled out his WiFi controller by magic again and pushed the sync button but nothing happened.
"Talen! It's not a game! It's real!" Taylor reminded him.
"Well, then if it's real, then how come I can't—!"
The Behemoth struck Talen with its tail, sending him flying through the broken fountain to a far wall. The Neo-Behemoth swooshed near Talen and scooped him with its tail, binding him tightly.
"WHOAAAAH!!" Talen screamed.
"Talen!" Rian and Taylor couldn't help but to watch Talen trying to break free from the Behemoth's tail clutch. The duo came together and summoned their Keyblades, facing the Neo-Behemoth and the Blackhearts duo.
"You two better release Talen, NOW!" Rian shouted.
"We won't leave until we get what we came for!" Ivy hissed.
Taylor faced Rian, "Rian!" she said, "The only way we can free Talen from this monster is if we transform into our Keybearers!"
"Good idea!" Rian said eagerly, but then hesitated, "Do you know how to transform?"
Taylor shook her head, "I dunno! Do you?"
"No!" Rian said.
"Then how did we become Johnny and Soledad before?!" Taylor exclaimed.
"Err… guys?" Talen tried to catch their attention but they weren't listening.
"How should I know?!" Rian continued, "All I know is that I become my alter-ego whenever I enter Radiant Kingdom!"
"ONLY when you enter Radiant Kingdom?!" Taylor angrily corrected.
"And I prefer being called Thunder!" Rian corrected back, "It's like way catchy?"
"Ohh, boohoo! No one's got the time to hear how you transform or not!" Tidicus whined, "You either lose, or you beat it? We got a heart to—!"
Taylor cut Tidicus off, "Hey, this is important!" she said.
"Talen! Please tell me you know how to transform!" Rian asked.
Talen, who was trying to withstand the pain he was in, turned sarcastic, "oh, I dunno. I guess I can do that only in the game! OH, wait! Last time I checked, that ain't a game! It's real! And you're delusional!"
"THAT'S IT!" Ivy screamed, finally catching the Keybearers' attention, "I can't take this anymore of that whiny blah! Neo-Behemoth! FINISH THEM!"
The Neo-Behemoth roared, raising his large tail up and descended it toward Rian and Taylor, screaming for their lives.
A Thunder jolt came from above and struck the Neo-Behemoth's tail. The beast yelped in pain and released Talen. Rian and Taylor went to him.
"You're okay, man?" Rian asked.
"What was that?" Taylor wondered.
All attention turned to the spellcaster: Donald. The angry duck was floating in midair, sitting on his staff which Goofy was dangling on. Goofy waved happily at the sight of the Keybearers, "Hiya Johnny!"
"The King's henchmen!" Tidicus clenched a fist.
"Oh, Donald. Goofy." Rian nervously chuckled. Taylor and Talen however were too stunned to speak. They couldn't believe they were seeing Donald and Goofy living and breathing before them.
"I guess I should owe you an apology." Rian grinned.
"Save the excuse for later, outlaw!" Donald jumped off his staff once the duo reached the plaza, and raised his arm. On cue, his staff went to his grasp, letting Goofy fall on the ground.
"Right now we have to get out of here! Behemoths can reflect magic with its own powerful kind!" Donald warned.
"Oh, that's right we totally forgot!" Tidicus said sarcastically, put a fist on his palm, "Behemoth will be unleashing his all powerful Meteor attack whenever you cast a spell on it!"
"So it's over for you now!" Ivy cackled and Tidicus followed. The Neo-Behemoth stood on its two hind legs, raised its chin up and roared. Suddenly the sky turned red and small sparks of flames started falling. The teens, Donald and Goofy then watched a giant meteor pulling from the sky and slowly heading toward them. The gang screamed and everything turned white.
The white screen quickly cleared up and everyone saw nothing happened. They turned to see Terra amongst them, his hand raised up, a dark swirly void hovering over his palm. The void slowly disappeared in darkness.
"The Keyblade Knight again!" Ivy sounded pissed.
Terra summoned his Keyblade, and with his other hand up, a ball of light shone above its palm, forming into an Ability Card. He tossed the card to Rian.
"Place this card on your Keyblade." Terra told him, "But do this only when I tell you to!"
He then faced the Behemoth and shouted, "Thunder Jet Mode!" with his fists clenched, he struck a pose, and light struck his body. Terra was suddenly covered in electricity sparks. He charged up his Keyblade, to Donald's panic.
"Terra, wait! Don't! Behemoth are dangerous when you cast spells on them!" he exclaimed.
Terra didn't listen. He raised his Keyblade and struck a Thundaja spell on the Neo-Behemoth, knocking Tidicus and Ivy off the creature as a result. The Neo-Behemoth turned livid.
"Aw man! You really did it this time!" Taylor stuttered as the Behemoth stood on its hind legs again and it started raining sparks of flames once more.
Tidicus and Ivy laughed together when they saw a Meteor twice as large as the latter descending.
"You've just made a big mistake Keyblade Knight!" Tidicus said.
"Your dancing days are over now boys and girls!" Ivy cackled.
Terra faced Rian, "NOW!" he shouted.
Rian hesitated for a second, then quickly placed the Ability Card on the Keyblade. The card dissolved into the weapon and it glow a translucent glass color. Rian faced the Meteor and raised the Keyblade up in an attempt to block it. The Meteor closed in on the heroes. It was as if they were done for at any second.
Then it suddenly stopped budging. The Meteor felt like it had hit some invisible wall, blocking its path to crush its victims. It tried to get past it, but the invisible wall fought back, bouncing the Meteor off it with ease. The Meteor directed its attention toward the Neo-Behemoth and the two Blackhearts and went straight for them.
Tidicus and Ivy hugged tightly, screaming for their lives was gonna end fast. The Meteor struck the Neo-Behemoth with an impact strong enough to shake the air and the ground, and slowly dug itself into the screaming monster. Everything turned white and cleared up again, leaving only a large black stain the size of a star-shaped hole in the middle of the plaza. Everyone looked around. No Behemoth. No blackhearts. Nothing.
"Is it gone?" Talen wondered, his heart almost gave in.
"It's gone." Terra said indifferently.
"Johnny 'Thunder' Keyblade!" Donald barked, angrily approaching Rian, "HOW DARE YOU!"
"Donald! Donald Duck! How are you? Hey!" Rian saw Donald approaching him and started backing up, "I know you're angry, so how about we make this simple and talk this out over Lunch huh? Are you free next Thursday? If so, what time should I be in? Oh wait! I'm totally booked next Thursday. So how about next Friday? My schedule is free!"
"How about I serve you lunch RIGHT NOW for damagin' my ship?!" Donald formed a fist, and Rian started to run. Donald gave chase, "You like a knuckle sandwich?! It's today's SPECIAL!!"
Talen faced Terra, "Yo, you! While them two lunatoons are going at it, care to gimme a holler on what's up around here?"
Terra shook his head, "This is no place to be talking business." He then faced the Gummi Ship that barely had a scratch on its front before facing Talen and Taylor again, "The Gummi Ship should be it. Let's go."
With a snap of the finger, Terra disappeared in a glowing light along with the entire gang and the ship. Sierra and Pierre arrived just in time to see it happen, and also took noticed of the massive stain and broken fountain left by the battle.
"Whoa." Pierre uttered, "Did this party just got bad in a hurry, or is it just me?"
Sierra narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "It's not you Pierre." She said, "Something fishy just happened, I sensed it. Something big."
She then faced Pierre, "Pierre," she begun, "We're gonna have to find out what happened right here, right now."
