Chapter Thirty-Two: Shere Khan the Tiger
In a dead tree a group of vultures sat talking to each other.
"Hey, Flaps, what we gonna do?" Buzzy yawns.
"I don't know. What you wanna do?" Flaps asked.
"I got it! Let's flap over to the east side of the jungle! They've always got a bit of action, a bit of a swinging scene. All right?" Ziggy said.
"Ah, come off it! Things are right dead all over" Buzzy said.
"You mean you wish they were!" Ziggy said as they laugh.
"Very funny" Dizzy said.
"Okay, so what we gonna do?" Buzzy said.
"I don't know, what you wanna do?" Flaps said.
"Look, Flaps, first I say, "what we gonna do?" and then you say, "what you wanna do?", they I say, "what we gonna do?", you say "what you wanna do?", "what you gonna do", "what you wanna" - let's do something!" Buzzy said.
"Okay. What you wanna do?" Flaps said.
"Oh, blimey, there you go again. The same once again!" Buzzy said.
"I've got it! This time, I've really got it" Ziggy said.
"So you got it. So what we gonna do?" Buzzy said.
"Hold it lads. Look, look what's coming our way" Dizzy said as they spot Mowgli with Jason and Max following.
"Hey, what in the world is that?" Flaps asked.
"What a crazy looking bunch of bones" Ziggy said.
"Yeah, and the're all walking about by themselves" Dizzy said as they look at Mowgli who sits down on a stone.
"So what we gonna do?" Buzzy said.
"I don't know- and now don't start that again!" Flaps said.
"Come on lads, come one let's have some fun with this little fella, this little flockey" Ziggy said pushing them off the branch as they all fly down to Mowgli.
"Look Mowgli I know you don't like the idea but there is so many thing you can learn there that you can't here in the jungle by yourself" Jason said as he sees the vultures fly in and grouped around them.
"Blimey, they got legs like a storky" Flaps said.
"Excuse me?" Max said.
"Like a stork, heh-heh, but he ain't got no feathers" Buzzy said as the Vultures laugh.
"Go ahead, laugh, I don't care" Mowgli said as he walks away.
"Mowgli! Oh way to go bird brains!" Jason said running after Mowgli with Max.
"What's wrong with him?" Dizzy said.
"I think we overdid it" Flaps said.
"We were just having a bit of fun that's all" Dizzy said.
"Just look at him. What a poor little fella" Buzzy said "You know, he must be down on his luck."
"Yeah, or he wouldn't be in our neighborhood" Dizzy said.
"Hey, new kid, wait a minute, hey!" Buzzy said as they followed Mowgli.
"Just leave me alone" Mowgli said.
"Oh, come on, come on, what's wrong? You know, you look like you haven't got a friend in the world" Buzzy said.
"I haven't."
"Haven't you got a mother or a father?" Dizzy said.
"No. Nobody wants me around" Mowgli said.
"Mowgli it's not that they don't want you around and I don't have parent either I know how you feel" Jason said.
"Yeah, we know how you feel" Buzzy said.
"Nobody wants us around, either" Dizzy said.
"We may look a bit shabby, but we've got hearts" Buzzy said.
"And feelings, too" Dizzy said.
"And just to prove it to you, we're gonna let you join our little group" Buzzy said.
"Kid, we'd like to make you an honorary vulture" Flaps said.
"Thanks, but I'd rather be on my own alone" Mowgli said.
"Uh, now look, kid, everybody's got to have friends" Buzzy said.
"The bird Mowgli, everyone needs to have a friend" Max said.
"Yeah, I got my circle of friends and were always looking for more to join" Jason smiled holding his Way Finder in his hand.
"Hey, fellas, are we his friends?" Buzzy said as the (Beatles Looking) group began to sing.
"We're your friends, We're your friends, We're your friends to the bitter end."
"The bitter end" Buzzy sang.
"When you're alone" Flaps sang.
"When you're alone" Buzzy, Dizzy and Ziggy sang.
"Who comes around?"
"Who comes around?"
"To pluck you up"
"give us a smile" Buzzy said trying to get Mowgli to smile.
"When you are down"
"And when you're outside looking in who's there To open the door?"
"Come on, kid, we need a tenor" Buzzy said pulling Mowgli, Jason and Max hands and pushed them to the singing group.
"That's what friends are for, who's always eager to extend-" They sang as Jason and Max saw Mowgli smile.
"-A friendly claw? That's what friends are for And when you're lost! In dire need, Who's at your side, At lightning speed! We're friends of ev'ry creature Coming down the pike, In fact we never met an animal, We didn't like!"
"Heh, heh. you take it kid" Buzzy said.
"Didn't like!" Mowgli sang with the Vultures and Max and Jason clapped to the beat.
"So you can see. Can see, We're friends we're friends. We're friends in need friends in need And friends indeed Friends indeed" they sang as they all stood on their each other shoulders as Jason, Max and Mowgli continued to clap.
"Take it easy lads, steady, steady. You're staying in the jungle...W-w-watch it!" Buzzy said.
"Forevermore!" Buzzy sang.
"That's what friends, Are, For!" Shere Khan sang as the Vutlutes fell over and quickly hid behind Jason and Max.
"It's him!" Jason said as Shere Khan clapped.
"Bravo, bravo! An extraordinary performance. And thank you for detaining my victims" Shere Khan said walking towards them.
"That is on big tiger" Max said.
"D-don't mention it, your highness" Flaps stuttered in fear.
" Ha-ha-ha. BOO!" Shere Khan said as the Vultures run and fly back to their tree.
"Let's get out of here!" Dizzy said.
"Give me room! Run friends! Run!" Buzzy yelled.
"Run? Why should I run?" Mowgli said.
"Why should you run? Could it be possible that you don't know who I am?" Shere Khan said.
"I know you all right. You're Shere Khan" Mowgli said.
"Precisely" He said extending his claws, "Then you should also know that everyone runs from Shere Khan."
"You don't scare me. I won't run from anyone" Mowgli said.
"Ah, you have spirit for one so small. And such spirit is deserving of a sporting chance. Now, I am going to close my eyes and count to ten. It makes the chase more interesting, for me" Shere Khan said.
"Follow my lead Max" Jason whispered.
"One. Two. Three." Shere Khan began as Mowgli walks.
"Four.."Shere Khan said as he turns and looks as Mowgli picks up a branch, You're trying my patience! 5-6-7-8-9-10!" Shere Khan pounces at Mowgli with a roar who drops his branch, but Baloo holds Shere Khan by the tail.
"Run, Mowgli, run!" Baloo yelled.
"Baloo!" Jason said.
"Let go, you big oaf!" Shere Khan growled trying to attack Baloo as they ran in a circle with Baloo holding onto the tail.
"Take it easy, hold it, hold it. Whoa, easy, easy!"
"He's got a tiger by the tail!" Buzzy said.
"And he'd better hang on, too" Dizzy said as Shere Khan bites Baloo.
"Yeow!" Baloo yelled as Mowgli hits Shere Khan with the branch.
"Take that, you big bully!" Mowgli yelled.
"Let him have it! Hit him!" Flaps said as Shere Khan began to chase Mowgli.
"Baloo, help me!" Mowgli yelled as Jason slid in front of the tiger and swung Max who kicked Shere Khan away.
"We can't fight and protect Mowgli at the same time!" Max said.
"Somebody do something with that kid!" Baloo yelled still trying to hold onto the tail.
"Come on, lads!" Dizzy said as Flaps and Ziggy carry Mowgli away.
"He's safe now, ha-ha-ha, you can let go, Baloo!" Buzzy yelled.
"Are you kiddin'? There's teeth on the other end!" Baloo yelled as Shere Khan gets Baloo on the ground before him.
"I'll kill you for this!" Shere Khan yelled as he began to slash his claws into Baloo.
"Let go! Baloo needs help!" Mowgli yelled.
"FIRA!" Jason yelled hitting Shere Khan on the side and sent him rolling away.
"WHO DID THAT?!"
(A.N. Vim and Vigor begins now go to youtube and play the song)
"Let's play cat!" Jason yelled summoning his keyblades and Max held his Dream Sword.
(If this was like the game then you see this on the top of the screen!
Objective: Defeat Shere Khan but keep him away from Mowgli! Use the Fire spell to set bushes on fire to get the Advantage!)
"Ha! Rah! YA! Take this!" Jason yelled using a series of stirkes on Shere Khan.
"Ah! Gah! Ah! Insolent fools!" Shere Khan yelled tackling Jason as they rolled on the ground as Jason flipped around and kicked Shere Khan in the air.
"Let's go!" Jason yelled spinning his Keyblades in hands as Buzzy and Dizzy fly down and grab Jason shoulder and flew him up.
"Here we go!" They yelled throwing Jason at Shere Khan as Jason slammed his keyblades into Shere Khan gut then hit him with several attack and with one hit sent Shere Khan slamming to the ground.
"Ha! Ya! HA! Like that!" Max yelled hitting the tiger with several attacks off his own as the temporarily knocked out tiger shook his head and used a spin claw attack.
"GAH!" Max and Jason grunted as they were sent flying back.
"Fira!" Jason yelled shooting the fire spell as Shere Khan roared and moving away from the fire in front of him as Jason came from the front and slammed his keyblades into Shere Khan face.
"AH!" Shere Khan grunted as he got up to attack roaring with each swing he took.
"Oh! Gah! AH! Ugh!" Jason and Max grunted as Shere Khan came at them again.
"Guys!" Jason yelled as Dizzy and Buzzy flew down and picked up Max and Jason into the air.
"Now!" Max yelled as the Vultures flew down as Max slammed his sword into Shere Khan side as Jason came from the side and kicked the tiger onto his side as they both were dropped down.
"I am not done yet!" Shere Khan grunted when the final blow was struck.
"We need to end this!" Jason yelled seeing Shere growl as he got up as lightning breaks a tree and ignites it.
"Fire! It's the only thing old stripes is afraid of!" Buzzy said to Mowgli.
"Get the fire, we'll do the rest" Flaps said as they flew in a group.
"Charge! Punch and blow!" the vulture said as they began to peck and pull at Shere Khan fur.
"Stay out of this, you mangy fools!" Shere Khan growled.
"Yeah, yeah, missed by a mile! Yeah, pull his blinkin' whiskers!" Buzzy yelled as they yanked pn the tiger whiskers.
"He's a bloomin' pussycat!" Flaps said as Mowgli ties a blazing branch to Shere Khan's tail.
"Look behind you, chum" Dizzy said as Shere Khan eyes widen to see the fire on the branch tied to his tail roaring as he tried to lunge away from it by the branch came in front of him as he tries to swat it away then runs away, getting burnt by the fire on every step as he runs into the distance as it began to rain and all the fire began to get put out.
"HA! How do you like that tough guy!" Max yelled.
"Well, that was the last of him" Buzzy said.
"Old stripes took off like a flaming comet" Ziggy said.
"Well, come on, let's go congratulate our friend" Buzzy said.
"Hold it, fellas. Now's not the time for it. Look" Dizzy said as they see Mowgli comes to Baloo, who is lying without signs of life.
"Oh no!" Jason said as he and Max run over.
"Baloo?" Mowgli said touching his head and shaking it "Baloo, get up. Oh please, get up. Oh" Mowgli cried hugging Baloo head as Bagheera arrives.
"Oh man, were too late" Max said.
"Mowgli, try to understand" Bagheera said.
"Bagheera, what's the matter with him?" Mowgli asked.
"You've got to be brave, like Baloo was" Bagheera said.
"You don't mean - oh, no, Baloo" Mowgli cried hugging Baloo fur.
"Now, now. I know how you feel. But you must remember, Mowgli, Greater love hath no one than he who lays down his life for his friend."
"He gave his life to save yours Mowgli, he wants you to grow up big and strong, but that can't be done here, only with your own kind will you learn how to become stronger" Jason said.
"When great deeds are remembered in this jungle one name will stand above all others. Our friend, Baloo the bear" Bagheera said.
"He's cracking me up..." Baloo muttered.
"The memory of Baloo's sacrifice and bravery will forever be engraved on our saddened hearts."
"Beautiful" Baloo said as the rain stopped and sun begins to shine through again.
"This spot where Baloo fell will always be a hallowed place in the jungle, for there lies one of nature's noblest creatures" Bagheera said.
"I wish my mother could've heard this."
"It's best we leave now. Come along, man-cub" Bagheera said as they all began to walk away as Baloo raises and speaks loud.
"Don't stop now, Baggy, you're doing great! There's more, lots more!" Baloo said.
"Why you, big fraud! You, you four-flusher! I-I'm fed up!" Bagheera growled.
"Baloo!" Jason and Max smiled.
"Baloo, you're all right!" Mowgli said hugging Baloo.
"Ha-ha. Who me? Sure I am. Never felt... better."
"You sure had us worried" Mowgli said.
"Ahh, I was just takin' five. You know, playing it cool. he-ha, but he was too easy."
"Easy?! You didn't even fight him! All you did was yank on his tail!" Jason said.
"Man them claws hurts" Max said rubbing his arm.
"Good old papa bear" Mowgli said.
"It's going to be a bit dull without the little bloke, isn't it?" Dizzy said.
"Yeah, so what we gonna do?" Buzzy said.
"I don't know - and now don't start that again!" Flaps yelled.
"Hey Baggy, too bad you missed the action. You should have seen how I made a sucker out of stripes with that left in his face!" Baloo said.
"Excuse me?" Jason said.
"Boom, boom, I was giving him wham!"
"You did no such thing!" Max said.
"You know, we're some good sparring partners" Baloo said to Mowgli.
"You better believe it!"
"Yes, sir! Nothing or nobody is ever gonna come between us again" Baloo said as they all hear a girl voice as she sings.
"My own home, My own home, My own home, My own home."
"Look, what's that?" Mowgli asked pointing to the girl heading toward the stream in front of the village with a jug.
"Oh, it's the man-village" Bagheera said.
"No, no, I mean that" he said pointing to the girl again.
"That is a girl" Jason smirked.
"Forget about those, they ain't nothing but trouble" Baloo said.
"Just a minute. I've never seen one before" Mowgli said going to get a closer look.
"So you've seen one, so let's go" Baloo said.
"I'll be right back, I want a better look."
"Mowgli, wait a minute-"
"Ahh Baloo, let him have a better look" Bagheera said.
"Yeah he's just curious" Max smirked as they watched Mowgli climb on a tree branch over the river where the girl came to water]
"Father's hunting in the forest, Mother's cooking in the home, I must go to fetch the water 'Til the day that I am grown 'Til I'm grown 'Til I'm grown, I must go to fetch the water 'Til the day that I have grown."
Mowgli watches her and falls down in the water as the girl giggles and Mowgli hides in some bushes.
"Smooth" Max said.
"Then I will have a handsome husband" the girl sang as Baloo has a funny look at this line, "And a daughter of my own, And I'll send her to fetch the water, I'll be cooking in the home, Mmm-mmm, Mmm-mmm, Then I'll send her to fetch the water, I'll be cooking in my home" she sang as she carries the water in a big clay pot on her head and then drops it so it rolls to Mowgli.
"Oh!" she gasped.
"She did that on purpose!" Baloo said.
"Obviously" Bagheera smirked.
"We know that true" Jason nodded as they saw Mowgli picks the pot, fills it with water and holds for Girl as she looks at him and walks to the village, humming as Mowgli carries water after her.
"Mowgli, come back, come back!" Baloo said gesturing him to come back.
"Go on, go on!" Bagheera said gesturing for to go one with Jason and Max as Mowgli hesitates and then, after Girl looks at him again Mowgli smiles broadly, shrugs, and enters the village.
"He is hooked" Baloo said.
"Ahh, it was inevitable Baloo. The boy couldn't help himself. It was bound to happen. Mowgli is where he belongs now" Bagheera said as a light caught there eyes as Jason saw a keyhole form at the entrance at of the village as he pointed his keyblade and sealed the keyhole in a bright light.
"Now we got to go as well" Jason said.
"Yeah. I guess you're right. But I still think he'd have made one swell bear. Well, come on, Baggy buddy. Let's get back to where we belong. And get with the beat!" Baloo said as Jason and Max heard the music begin to play.
"Oh what the hay!" Max said.
"Look for the bare necessities, The simple bare necessities!" Baloo sang.
"Forget about your worries and your strife" Bagheera sang.
"I mean the bare necessities" Jason sang.
"Are Mother Nature's recipes" Max sang.
"That bring the bare necessities of life!" they all sang as they danced towards the sunset.
"Okay that world wasn't so bad" Max said as they flew in the lanes between again.
"Yeah but there is one problem" Jason said as he road in his armor on his keyblade glider.
"What's that?" Max said.
"That song is stuck in my head!" Jason yelled.
