Alf Meets Kingdom Hearts: Meeting Sora And Friends
Continuing from where we left off last chapter; Lynn Tanner, her little brother, Brian, there new friend, Kairi, and that wacky extraterrestrial being, Alf, were on a mission. They had just received instructions from a mysterious man named Axel to find the wielder of a mysterious, magical weapon known only as the Keyblade due to it being a sword shaped like an old fashioned skeleton key, the only thing capable of saving Lynn and Brian's, parents, Kate and Willie Tanner, whose hearts were mysteriously stolen by an evil, black cloaked man known as Vexen, transforming the couple into small, strange, dark, ugly creatures!
Anyway, they had been giving a description of the Keyblade Master by Axel before they had left on there journey. Soon after what seemed like ages of searching, our heroes collapsed, exhausted.
"Well this sucks!" complained Lynn. "We've been searching for hours, and we still haven't found this freaking Keyblade or whatever it's called!" "Don't worry!" Kairi reassured them. "The Keyblade Master has as much of a mission as we do! Perhaps even more so! You see, it is the duty of the wielder of this weapon to protect all worlds from the forces of evil and darkness! He's probably going around your world doing that even as we speak!" "But that Axel guy said that he would send us to the place nearest to where the Keyblade Master was!" Brian spoke up.
"Well Kairi said he does spend most of his time saving the world!" Alf chimed in. "Maybe he's just all keyed out! Ha! Ha! I kill me!" The others slapped there heads and moaned at Alf's gosh awful joke. But before anyone could respond, they heard a rustle in some shrubbery. "Shh listen!" said Lynn, signaling the gang to be quiet.
"Do you here that?" Everyone listened. The sounds soon became clear. Voices! They were hearing voices! They decided to follow the sounds through the shrubbery. Soon they came to a large, grassy clearing and witnessed what appeared to be a fight between a teenage boy and some more of those strange creatures. There were also two famous looking characters helping him. Brian squinted to get a closer look, and gasped.
"Is that…?" he wondered, surprised. Then he saw them turn around slightly, giving him a better view of who he was seeing.
"It is! It is! It's Donald Duck and Goofy! You know! The Disney cartoons!" "It does look like them" stated Lynn, scratching her head in bewilderment. "But I thought they were just that! Cartoons! Fictional characters that were created by the creativeand imaginative mind of that genius producer, director, and cartoonist, the late Walt Disney!" "Lynn, sometimes things are just best left unsaid." Alf replied.
"But Alf!" Brian started to say. "No! Alf is right!" Kairi agreed with what the alien had said. "There will be time to explain things later! Right now is not a good time! Those three are my friends and they need our help!" She summoned her Keyblade and rushed over to aid the three warriors. Although the Tanner siblings and Alf saw her summon a Keyblade, they said nothing. For they knew that her weapon didn't match the description of the Keyblade that Axel had told them about. So with three heads giving each other uncertain nods, they ran over to join them.
Soon, after what seemed like several minutes of hard fighting, well, mostly on the behalf of the four heroes, with Lynn, Brain, and Alf not doing much more than watching in awe, the battle appeared to be over. "Are you guys alright?" asked Lynn, with concern. "Yeah." the boy said, dusting himself off. "We're good!"
"Great!" replied Brian. "Then I guess this means we can…" Suddenly Brian was cut off by what sounded like a deafening rumbling, followed by the ground beginning to feel like it was trembling. They looked around to find themselves surrounded by even more of those hideous creatures!
"Everybody stand back!" their soon to be new friend ordered, as he, Donald, and Goofy summoned their weapons once more. "We'll take it from here!" Once again, it was soon over.
"Hyuck! That was close!" commented Goofy. "Yeah! At least it's over!" agreed Donald. "Yup! You said it duck!" Donald and Goofy turned around, and were startled to see a strange, short, creature covered in rust colored fur and sporting a nose the size of an aardvark's. "WAK!" "HYUCK!" The Keyblade Master heard the commotion. "Hey guys! What the heck's going on here?...HOLY ICEBERG!" He joined his two partners in staring at this strange creature. "Why are you guys looking at me like that?" Alf wondered, confused. "Is it my breath? I'm sure I took a breath mint last week! Yeah! I did! I remember! It was Tabby flavored! Or was that Persian?" "Alf!" scolded Brian. "But I guess it's not that important. Heh." "Who-who are you anyway?" the kid wondered.
"Gordon Shumway! But everyone here calls me Alf!" "Alf?" "Yeah" Alf responded. "It's an acronym for Alien Life Form!" "Y-you're an alien?" gasped Goofy in disbelief. "And you're a tall walking, talking dog, with buck teeth and a silly accent! What's the difference?" "Where did you come from?" asked Donald. "From a house about 10 or 20 blocks from where we are." "No! I mean where do you come from?" "Oh! That! I get it! My homeworld! Melmac. That was the name of my planet. Melmac. It's also what it was made out of. "Wait a minute!" said the boy. "A planet made out of melmac? The stuff they used to use to make dinnerware?" "Yep!" "And what do you mean was?" "Well that's the problem there kid. Melmac's history!"
"Whoa! W…Wait!" said Kairi. "You mean you can't return to Melmac?" "It exploded!" he reached into his fur and pulled out what looked like a tiny piece from a broken dish and showed it to his new friends. "This was my street!" Alf's new friends stared at each other and then back at him.
"Uh..." they started to mutter with confusion. They also felt sorry for Alf. Imagine! A poor alien creature stranded on a strange world, never to return to his home planet, because there's no longer a home planet to return to! His new friends were having that very exact thought when another question was thrown his way. "Gwarsh! Where there any other survivors of your planet?" asked Goofy.
"Yeah. My two friends Skip and Rick, My girlfriend Rhonda, and my cousin Blinky." "And how long have you been on Earth?" asked Donald. "Around 5 or 6 years at least." "Do you like it here?" "Yeah. It's been kinda nice here. When I first arrived, I had to sleep in the laundry room and sometimes the garage. Oh! And I had to be kept hidden from the public. But now I got moved to a room in the attic! It's much roomier there! But I still have to hide from the general peoples!" "But why?" asked Kairi. "So the government wouldn't find out about me! You should have known that, you were there! I told you about it!"
"I know! I know! It's just that you said you were on the Alien Task Force!" "I said I wanted to be on the Alien Task Force!" "But didn't you also later tell me that you were you were on it?" "Only a small branch! There are still those who want to capture me and put me in a lab! Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we want to reveal ourselves so the public will believe." "OOOKAAY…"said Donald. "OK guys!" said the boy. "I think we need more time to get to know each other." "Sure kid." said Alf. "If you say so, then I guess that's OK with me." "That's good." said the boy. "And by the way, my name's Sora, not kid!"
"Sora, huh? I see! Well then! Nice to meet you Sora!" Lynn said. Suddenly she gasped in surprise and was suddenly full of glee. "Sora? Oh my gosh! You're the one we've been looking for! We did it Brian and Alf! We found the one who bears the key!" "SAY WHAT?" exclaimed Sora, Donald, and Goofy. "What are you talking about?" asked a confused Sora. "What do you think she's talking about?" said Alf. "How should I know?" Sora retorted. "We've finally found someone who can help us! That's what she's so excited about!" "Someone to help you?" asked Sora, shocked. "What? You mean us?" "No! I mean Ed, Edd, and Eddy!" Alf replied sarcastically. "Duh! Of course I mean you!"
"Gwarsh! What do you want us to do?" asked Goofy. "Well see, we have a little situation back at home base!" replied Alf. "OK! So it's a little bigger than little! So it's a big little situation! Um…" "What's wrong?" asked Sora. "OK, I'll keep it simple! These two lovely children with me are my longtime friends. They're brother and sister. And their names are Lynn and Brian Tanner. And well the thing is their parents were changed into strange ugly black creatures, just like the ones you guys were fighting!"
"Heartless!" gasped Sora, Donald, and Goofy. "What?" a confused Lynn asked. "What in the world are Heartless?" "There these creepy critters, like the ones we just fought, that are created from the darkness in a person's heart!" replied Goofy. "Purty darn scary if ya ask me!" "We're not asking you." retorted Alf.
"Alf!" Kairi scolded. "You want us to help?" asked Sora, scratching his head. "Uh huh" said Brian. "Um…" pondered Sora. He, Donald, Goofy, and Kairi exchanged worried looks. "What's wrong?' asked Lynn. "I think there may be a problem with your request." replied Sora. Now it was Lynn, Brian, and Alf's turn to be worried. "Wha…What kinda problem?" asked Brian. As they got ready to discuss the problem, another mysterious hooded person, this one more seemingly more evil and sinister than Vexen, peered from behind a clump of trees. "So!" he whispered in a voice that clearly spoke evil. "We meet again, eh Sora? And it looks like you have some new friends with you! You thought you got rid of me almost a year ago! How wrong you were!"
Then his eyes scanned the area and he found what he was looking for. He glared evilly at one of the heroes. "And I have something special in store for you...Gordon 'Alf' Shumway!" He laughed quietly to himself and then silently slipped away. None of our heroes took notice.
Uh oh! what bad news could Sora have to tell his new friends? And who was that strange figure spying on them? Stay tuned and find out! To be continued!
