Chapter CLXXXIII: The Chaotic Conflict, The Restraining Chains And The Concussive Cure
Return To The Radiant Gardens Part XXV
"HHHAAA!"
Diving down fast, Mickey had his keyblade aimed straight at the monstrous double headed bird which was the transformed duo of Greeble and Peekaboo!
However seeing the mouse king coming for them, the sinister Magi creation flipped itself over and out of the way! Doing this, Greeble then informed the keyblader, "Ha! You miscalculated!"
Hearing these words, Peekaboo then cried out, "Yeah!" However seeing the mouse king who had now landed upon a nearby tall out reaching branch, he added with sinister intent, "And now!" With that the double headed bird moved itself closer and moving into position, he cried out, "You're our chow!" With that he swung his leg and shook the branch strongly as he kicked it!
"Hey! Knock it off! Stop it!" Micky cried out! With that quickly he tried to hold onto the branch for dear life!
Seeing this though, Greeble then told him, "You can't hold out against us!" With that the green headed bird looked up above himself and cried out, "Hey! Chop! Chop!"
Immediately hearing this Mickey was confused, for why was Greeble-!?
SCRATCH! SCRATCH! SCRATCH!
Suddenly the branch Mickey was upon, began to tremble and shake terribly! As it did so, he looked quickly to see where the source of the shaking was coming from. As he did so, he became horrified! For there up above was a huge and tall cricket like demon cutting into the wood! It was using it's long razor bladed sharpened legs to do so!
Seeing this, the mouse king had to do something! He had to-!
SNAP!
"AAAGGGHHH!"
Instantly Mickey was sent plummeting down and there awaiting below was Peekaboo. His mouth opened wide ready to swallow him whole!
Seeing his plan had worked, Greeble couldn't help but make a mocking statement, "Bottoms up!"
Then Mickey looking below saw what was awaiting him and he was terrified! But then-!
SWOOSH!
Something rushed straight by him and entered Peekaboo's mouth! As it did so-!
ZZZAAAPPP!
"YAAAGGGHHH!"
Suddenly the horrid transformed creature was electrocuted all over! Seeing this, Mickey was quickly was able to avoid the gaping oblivion that had been waiting for him and maneuvering himself fast he was able to catch onto a vine and make it to a passing flower.
Looking up above, as he landed on the petals he saw who had fired that something that had zapped Peekaboo and Greeble. There he saw that up above him, it was none other than, "Fran!?"
Hearing him cry out her name, the tall rabbit earred woman then asked him putting her bow to one side on her back, "Are you unharmed?"
As this was put to him, Mickey then responded enthusiastically, "Yeah I am thanks a bunch!"
But just as this was said-!
"GGGRRRR!"
Looking behind himself, Mickey then saw that Greeble and Peekaboo had recovered from their shock. However they were now clearly infuriated and were charred black all over! Greeble then decided to ask mockingly, "So you think you're in the safe zone do you?"
As this was asked, Peekaboo then annoyed made the answer, "Well you chumps aren't!" Then looking up, he called out, "Hey, Shirma! Give us some healin'!"
Hearing him call, the pink haired white mage lifted herself up and with her staff in hand. She raised it up and called out in an emotionless voice, "Curaga..."
In seconds, the healing spell coursed all over the monstrous bird. As it did so, quickly the painful effects from the arrow had been removed and the burned charring. Instantly as their vibrant colours were restored, Greeble then feeling smug told his targets, "Now it's time to dish out some pain to you guys!"
However quickly taking aim, Fran informed the evil bird, "I think not! I shall be the one to inflict pain upon you!"
Hearing her say this, Mickey then drew out his keyblade and was ready to inflict some damage too! But just as started to think of what attack to use-!
"HEY!"
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Looking above quickly, Mickey then saw again Juan who was still being held captive within the big firebug monster! Seeing him fly away, the mouse king cried out to him in terrible worry, "Juan!?"
Hearing his pal call out to him, Juan cried out to him putting his pistols which had no effect on his living prison, "Help me Mickey amigo! This thing's got no breaks it's-!" With that as he jumped up-!
FLASH!
The monster lit up brightly! As it did so-!
BBBBZZZZ!
Suddenly from another direction, a huge swarm of angry looking flying bugs came swarming forwards and started to come straight towards Juan and his firefly prison monster! Instantly in seconds, the black attired Mariachi gunner shouted out to them, "Hey shoo! Shoo! I don't want to be dealing with no-!
However the insects were clearly not listening to the gunner, as they chased after the firefly that was drawing their attention. The lit creature dodged past a huge over ripened fruit that was in it's path. As it did so in seconds-!
CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP!
Immediately it was devoured whole in seconds! Leaving nothing left in the slightest!
Juan seeing this, then realised with terror that if those bugs came near him and his ride... that was what was gonna become of them!
"AAAAGGGGHHHH!"
With that the lit bug and it's chasing swarming angry mass flew on up, with the panicked gunner inside. Disappearing into the mess of leaves and shrubbery that was on high!
Seeing this, Mickey knew this was bad! They had to do something! Then gripping his keyblade he said pointing upwards, "Fran! We gotta go after Juan!"
However before either being could make a move-!
"Oh no ya don't!"
WHOOSH!
Instantly huge gusts of winds were being blown! Feeling them, Mickey felt himself become unsettled and as he did so, he quickly held onto one of the petals of the flower he was upon!
Greeble and Peekaboo seeing the effects of their power were immensley pleased and they unleashed even more of their power. Increasing the force of the winds as they flapped their wings faster!
Angered feeling this, Fran looking to the two headed monster bird uttered bitterly, "You pest!" With that she started to unleash her arrows!
ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!
Hearing her do this, Mickey looked above up to her position as he did so. He knew that fast decisive action had to be made! For looking at their enemies chest he saw the green gem that was glowing. Remembering that Yuffie was inside of it and was gradually losing her life... he couldn't let this go on! So gripping his keyblade he prepared his attack!
Greeble and Peekaboo though feeling the effects of Fran's attack merely grinned. As they did, the peppermint green bird couldn't help but say, "Ha! Is that all you got bunny girl?"
As he asked this of her, Fran stopped her firing. However as she did so, she looked on with fierce anger. Annoyed to see her powers had no effect on their skin!
"I think it is all she's got, Greeble!" Peekaboo told his pal, continuing to grin away.
Hearing him say this, the calculating bird then said, "Well if that's the case..." with that he began to breath in deeply!
As he did this, Peekaboo then could feel what his fellow head was going to do! As he did, he grinned as he finished the sentence, "We'll dish out a couple of shots of our own!" With that he breathed in deeply himself, building up his own source of power!
Seeing them both do this, Fran prepared herself! She had to-!
"Hey! Ya big bullies!"
With that hearing this cry, instantly both heads along with Fran turned their attentions down and there they saw it was none other than Mickey!
Looking on at the monstrous bird that was before him, the mouse king then with a determined look cried out, "Don't you go harming a lady!" With that he raced forwards and up, then aiming his keyblade he cried out,
"FIRAGA!"
BLAST!
In seconds the attack impacted against the monster right in the stomach! As this happened, nothing was incurred upon the double headed birds body... however, their anger was!
Their eyes now concentrated on him, in seconds the two headed birds opened their mouths and-!
ZZZAAAPPP!
ZZZAAAPPP!
Immediately the double headed monster concentrated their powers upon the mouse king! Seeing him do this, just as he wanted Mickey raced away and started his evasion tactics!
Seeing him do this, Fran then cried out to him, "Mickey!"
Hearing her, as he continued to run and evade the oncoming electrical charged shots. Mickey then cried out, "Fran! Ya gotta get Juan out of his mess!" With that jumping over a certain bush as Greeble and Peekaboo crashed straight through it, he added, "We're runnin' out of time!" With that cry he was on his way! Doing his best to stay away from the monstrosity that was on his tail!
Seeing him depart and drawing the monster's attacks away from her, Fran was silent for a moment. However she had no reason to argue with Mickey's plan of action so she simply replied, "Very well!" With that, she raced up above climbing up high to chase after the flying imprisoned Mariachi man.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Viewing the commotion that was being revealed by her viewing orb, Maleficent couldn't help but smile as she commented gently, "This is becoming most amusing!"
Having witnessed the battle that had taken place between Riku and his party against Gandrake. They were now keenly watching the conflict that was occurring against Mickey along with Fran. Looking on with a smile himself, Uriax couldn't help but agree as he said, "Indeed it is."
Pete himself hearing Uriax was quiet, however he couldn't help but say releasing a small snort, "Ha! That little runt won't survive so long!"
To which hearing this comment, Jona who'd been quiet at that point couldn't help but say, "What makes you so confident about that?"
As this was said, Pete looking her then replied, "Well I mean c'mon! Look at that double billed birdy!" With that as he pointed his right gloved hand to the viewing orb, it revealed the monstrous winged creature chasing the small mouse king and was zapping away with it's furious attacks. Looking on it was clear, that Mickey was struggling as he was barely avoiding each blow as they came, while he was running and jumping upon many branches and leaves.
Gazing upon this, Pete then concluded looking to Jona, "It's only gonna be a matter of time before he get's zapped!" With that folding his arms, he couldn't help but add nod firmly, "That I know for sure!"
To which as this was said, Uriax couldn't help but retort, "Oh sure, just like he was gonna be finished off by you and your monsters?"
Hearing this sarcastic comment, Pete was annoyed in seconds as he stared at the mocking apprentice of darkness.
Seeing this, Maleficent then decided to say trying to calm the anger that was beginning to brew, "Come now my dears, we are here to watch and be entertained... we don't need thing's to become bitter between us now do we?"
As this was said, neither Pete or Uriax said a word. Instead they turned their gazes away from each other in a huff and looked back to the viewing orb to see what would be taking place next.
Hari herself who'd been entirely silent up to this point was gazing on intently herself towards the viewing orb. As she did so, it was clear she was in deep thought...
Jona too seemed to be in the same frame of mind. For as the viewing orb changed it's viewing point, she saw again the rabbit earred female warrior ascending the greenery. She she did this, she had a small light of sad recognition in her eyes... as she did so, she uttered quietly, "Fran..."
"Huh?" His ears pricking as he caught this name, Pete looked to the exotic Syphinx and seeing her saddened gaze, he asked her, "What're ya muttering there, Jona?"
Hearing his question, Jona though covered up her sadness and smiled back to the overweight villain and replied, "Oh nothing honey!" Then looking back to the orb, she added her tone sightly wavering,"It's nothing..."
Puzzled by this tone, it was clear Pete didn't understand her actions. But before he could question anymore, he then noticed that his metallic winged accomplice was moving away from their viewing session. Seeing this he couldn't help but ask, "Hari?"
As Pete uttered her servant's name, Maleficent turned her eyes in her departing direction. As she did so, she decided to question her, "What are you doing may I ask, Hari?"
Hearing her mistress call for her, Hari calmly turned her cold green eyes in Maleficent's direction. As she did so, she then replied, "I am going to make some observations of the heartless... to see if they are performing adequately." Then pausing for a moment, she titled her head to the side and asked, "Do my choice of action's displease you my lady?"
As this was said to her, Maleficent was quiet... however she was not perturbed by this and so replied, "Not at all," with that she smiled calmly herself and added, "I trust that you will perform your duties sufficiently."
To which as this was put to her, Hari bowed her head and replied placing her right hand across her chest, "Of course..." then lifting her head, she added, "Thank you my lady." With those words, she began departing through the doorway.
Seeing her go, Uriax was only more than pleased as he commented, "Hmph! Good riddance! Now I won't have to deal with the annoying presence of that lifeless doll!"
As this was said, Pete was angered again and so he uttered, "Hey! Hari ain't like that! She's-!"
However from the corner of his eyes, he saw something move. Turning quickly, he saw Hari's hand make a waving motion before disappearing from view. Seeing this Pete was stilled into silence, for what was she-?
"She's what, Pete?" Hearing him, the overweight villain turned and saw that it was Uriax talking to him. He was gazing up to him with annoyance in his eyes.
Seeing this, Pete realised he'd stopped in mid sentence. As he did so... he was quiet before he replied strongly, "... She's my accomplice! My pal!" With that he turned and walked away and went to go to the doorway himself as he added, "And I'm not gonna sit here listenin' to yer insultin' yammerings!"
Hearing him say this, Uriax was unimpressed as he uttered, "Same useless old garbage again." However seeing him leave, he then asked him, "And just where do you think you're going now?"
As this was said, Pete then turning his face to the side to look at him made one comment, "The bathroom!" With that he was gone disappearing through the doorway.
Quiet as this was said, Uriax couldn't be bothered to comment to this and so looked back to the viewing orb, along with Jona and Maleficent who didn't comment either. All of them were becoming quickly engrossed in the events that were being shown.
Seeing that he managed to depart away from his mistress along with the others, Pete turned down the corridor and around the corner. There he saw his accomplice was standing and was apparently waiting for him, her green eyes fixed on him with serious intensity.
As he saw her doing this, he then decided to ask curious, "Hari? Why have ya-?"
"Pete..." With that the overweight villain became silent, as he did so he heard his accomplice say to him, "I need to make a request of you..."

"AAAGGGGHHHH!"
CRASH!
Smashing through a tree trunk that was in the way, Juan riding still within the light bulb that was upon the back of the firefly bug, that was holding him captive. He was feeling horrible dread about the situation he was in! For-!
BBBBZZZZ!
CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP!
Quickly he saw the storm of bugs behind him, had ate their way straight through the tree trunk! Leaving nothing of the poor plant and were all swarming straight towards him and his ride!
Terrified to see this, he knew if he stayed in the back of his living prison. He was going to be turned into minced chowder!
Realizing this with horror! He then uttered to himself desperately, "Oh I gotta do something! I gotta do something! I'm not ready to go to to the land of the remembered!" Then as he uttered that-!
GLOW!
Suddenly he felt a glowing light shine on him from above! Puzzled he looked up and there he saw in the air, was the pale green glowing light that he recognised as, "Yuffie Senorita's life force!?" As he saw it floating about in the air before him and his bug, he then remembered about the ferocious buzzing monsters that were still tailing them. If those thing's got to that precious light then-!?
"I gotta save her! Rápido!" However knowing he couldn't get out of his illuminated prison, he asked desperatley, "But how do I-!?"
TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP!
Puzzled hearing these taps, despite the loud buzzing of wings that was around him. Juan looked up and there he saw much to his surprise was, "Poncho!?"
For there resting on the surface of the glowing bulb was his pink Axotol pal, tapping the surface with his feelers, as though trying feel Juan himself.
Seeing him, quickly an idea lit up in the marachi gun wielder's mind! As it did so, he told his pal hurriedly, "Poncho!" With that in seconds the tapping stopped. Hearing this, Juan knowing he had his trusty companion's attention told him, "We've gotta be fast amigo!"
With that, the prison manoeuvred up again! As they twisted together, making Juan fall over himself uncomfortably while Poncho held on tightly he went on to tell his pal, "You gotta get out there and save Yuffie senorita!" With that he pointed forwards to where the ninja's glowing life force was, floating amongst the leaves and shrubbery.
Poncho didn't seem to be looking that way, however Juan carried on, "Get her light and keep it-!"
BBBBZZZZ!
Terrified Juan then saw the storm of flies on their tail! As he did so, he then pointed back and cried out, "Away from those parásito's!" Then as they turned again in the air, he cried out agin clearly desperate, "Please hurry amigo!"
Staring on ahead blankly, Poncho turned his head to look at the bugs... then after a moment, he looked back ahead. Then doing so, he was quiet for a moment more before suddenly he moved, making a gesture like a slight wave with one of his antennas. It almost looked like a salute before he went and flew straight in the direction of the light!
Watching him go, Juan was silent however quickly and fluidly as he was rocked about. The monster bug and him looped over and over, some bushes!
Feeling his world spin around him crazily over and over, Juan's eyes were spinning! Feeling ill from all this, he couldn't help but cry out, "Urgh! I'm getting mareado! Mareado! Mare-!?"
Then suddenly the spinning stopped and as they did, they burst through a layer of leaves! Feeling a horrible headache from all this! Juan was feeling terribly ill as he held onto the top of his hat. Feeling groggy as his world continued to spin, he then uttered, "Agh... where can I find a barf-?"
However he stopped in his tracks, for quickly he saw that ahead of him, "Poncho!?" He cried out in delight for there flying over head him and his bug, was he pink pal! Holding on tightly to Yuffie's glowing orb he couldn't help but feel a huge wave of delight and relief! As he did, he cried out, "Ya did it amigo! You saved our senorita! You've-!"
BBBBZZZZ!
But it was too early for him to relax! As behind him he saw that the flies were on their tail! Their horrible red eyes fixed entirely on him and his ride! Seeing this, Juan knew he and his pal were in huge trouble!
Then in seconds the flies seemed to become one horrible entity! Forming a huge black mass that had sharpened teeth and red eyes that were ready to swallow the lot of them whole! Seeing this, Juan's wide eyed horrified expression led him to do, only one thing he could do then...panic.
"AAAAAGGGGHHHH!"
With that as the swarming mouth of black bugs came closer and closer to him! He started slamming his hands against his prison crying out mad, "C'mon move! Move you bombilla inútil con las alas!" Then with those words as Poncho pressed on hard ahead to fly away, while Juan jumped up and down hurriedly in the bug! Making it glow on and off!
Fran herself finally reaching the point where she'd seen the monstrous firefly vanish, climbed out of the greenery. As she did so, she noticed-!
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Looking she saw the flashing light of the bug! Then seeing what was chasing it, she knew one thing, "I have to be fast!" With that, she started leaping forwards calling upon her strength she chased after the insects. Bringing out her bow and arrow, she began to take aim...!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Running up fast another tree, Mickey turned and leaping forwards took out his keyblade!
"HHHAAAA!"
In seconds he struck his monstrous enemy and-!
ZZZAAAPPP!
"AAAGGGHHH!"
He was struck by a terrible blast of lightning that struck him all over! Then in seconds he was thrown away! Landing painfully upon a leaf, he grimaced as he hurt horribly...all over.
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!"
Hearing this menacing laughter, Mickey moved himself over. As he did so, he winced as he tried to sit himself up properly, he listened on to hear Greeble go on to say, "Nice try twerp!"
Nodding, Peekaboo added grinning, "Yeah! You can't touch us with blows from yer key!"
Getting up slowly as he heard this comment, Mickey was quiet. Breathing in and out hard, from all the fleeing he had done. He had tried at that moment to inflict a physical blow against the two headed bird, however it obviously didn't work...
Now on his legs once more, he tried to calm himself down... for he had to come up with something effective and fast! For looking to the green gem that was upon the stomach of his enemy, he saw that glow of it was slowly dying away...
He couldn't let Yuffie fade away! He had to save the committee member... but how was he supposed to? His spells hadn't worked, physical blows didn't so-!
"Now!"
Distracted out of his thoughts, Mickey then saw Greeble and Peekaboo had their eyes fixed upon him. As they did so, their body started to glow and shine as it was beginning to build up their fierce electrical power!
As the monster began to crackle and electrify with lightning, he knew he had to do something! But the problem was... what would work!? What could he do to-?
CHINK
Hearing this sound, Mickey looked up and as he did so. He saw quickly the chains that were upon the monster's body, seeing them trailing around it... he then remembered when Fran had attacked them before. As he did so, he realised-!?
ZZZAAAPPP!
ZZZAAAPPP!
Suddenly the monster released it's powerful blows of electricity, from both of it's mouths! As the shots rained out here there and everywhere!
However quickly in turn, Mickey dodged as fast as he could each and every blow that came! Then making it to a decent point of strong tree cover, more of the blows came colliding against it. As they sizzled and burned the leaves that surrounded him, he peered through the thicket.
He saw then that the bird's attention was still focused upon merely firing at his location. But as he saw the heavy chains continue to sway to and throw as they fired their thunderous powers. He looked about him and noticing the many out reaching branches of the enormous trees... his mind immediately thought of something. Gripping his keyblade tightly he then whispered becoming fiercely determined, "Let's just hope this little brain storm of mine can do somethin' here!"
BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!
"COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!"
BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!
"COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!"
Immediately as the sounds of firing ceased and he heard the two head's cough away. Mickey peaked again and there he saw the monstrous bird's had lost power and were clearly exhaused at having to fire so much of it at him.
Letting out a puff of smoke, Peekaboo couldn't help but cough out, "Pah! Wow! Shooting out lighting really takes a lot of ya!"
Shaking his own peppermint green head, Greeble couldn't help but agree as he said, "Indeed!" With that he coughed again trying to get his throat clear.
Seeing that he had a prime opportunity, Mickey knew one thing, "Okay! It's now or never!" With that he ran out! His keyblade poised he cried out, "CHARGE!"
Surprised by this outburst the two headed bird looked down! But before they could register anything-!
"HHHAAA!"
With that cry Mickey jumped high into the air! His aim concentrated!
However seeing this act being done, Greeble then moving cried out, "Oh no you don't!" With that he swung his wing up to throw away the rodent from his and Peekaboo's body!
But quickly reacting, the king evaded this blow and spinning in the air he dived down again and in seconds his keyblade caught what he had aimed for! "Ah! Ha! One!" The mouse king cried out! With that he landed on a nearby tree branch!
As he did this, Greeble didn't know why the keyblader had said this. But his other partner head cried out, "I'll get ya!" With that Peekaboo moved his side of their huge body and went to get the rodent!
Moving fast though, Mickey finished his manoeuvre! Doing this, he sensed what was coming from behind himself! As he did so, he looked and quickly ran!
CRASH!
As he heard the loud collision, Mickey running through the thickets then saw Peekaboo and Greeble peer out of the dust they'd made go flying everywhere. As he did so, he saw quickly he had another chance and as he did so, he moved in again to make his move again!
"COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!"
Annoyed by this irritating move by his other half. Greeble then told Peekaboo mad, "Hey! Don't rush in like that! I don't want to cough out my lungs out here!"
Hearing this cry, Peekaboo then retorted straight back, "Hey! I did what I had to! I don't see you do-!"
"Ha! Ha! Two!"
Surprised, the two birds saw Mickey land quickly again and take off! As they did so, they ceased their quarrelling and went to chase after him again! Doing so, Peekaboo cried out, "I'll get that mousey this time! He's gonna be-!"
CHINK!
However in seconds, the side of his movements were halted! Feeling this, with a jar as he came to a grinding halt, Peekaboo looking back demanded, "Hey! What's the-!?"
In seconds though, Greeble finally saw what his partner's side was being held back by! As he did so, he then realised with alarm, "So that's what he's-!?"
"And three, four!"
With that as these words were cried out, the monstrous two headed bird then turned and saw Mickey looking up to them with a confident proud smile on his face. As they both did so, Peekaboo reacted immediately and went to dive down at him, "Now yer ours ya-!"
"No you idiot!" Greeble cried out mad, as he did so he then said, "Don't you see what he-s-!?"
CLANG!
"Agh!"
Stopped in his tracks as the two of them were pulled back, Peekaboo cried out, "Hey! What's the big idea!? What's-?!"
CLINK!
Stopping quickly though, the pink headed bird saw what his other head had already noticed. Their body was being held back in the air by four long chains that were a part of the many that were trailing from their body!
Seeing the shock that was on their faces though, Mickey knew it was his time to attack! With that gripping his keyblade tightly in his right hand he rushed forwards shouting, "Now I got ya!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Running fast through the thicket along the tops of the trees, Fran was keeping her eyes fixed ahead. There she saw before her, her target. The flashing and glowing bug that continued to hold captive their ally.
Seeing it, she began to draw out her bow and glowing arrow! As she did so, she climbed up a particular tall branch and she began to take aim. However the insect itself continued to turn here there and everywhere as it continued to twist about all over the place.
"Tch!" Annoyed, the rabbit earred archer knew she'd never get a clear shot at this rate. However this place they were in currently was the most open environment there was and she knew there would be no other chance to get a good opportunity to shoot like this... so holding firm, she knew she had no choice but to wait. For precisely the right moment!
Meanwhile, still within the confine's of the bulb upon the back of the firefly. Juan was still continuing to panic badly! Making them all twist together here there and everywhere! He was so annoyed and frustrated by this situation, "Agh! Will all you plagas just all buzz off! Yer-!?"
Suddenly his ride and him preformed a looped de loop in the air! Then as they did so, Juan fell over and over himself again, "Whoa!" Then as the twist in the air ended, he toppled down painfully in his prison. As he did so, mad his head ached as he said, "Ow! That really hurt! Just what-?"
Stopped in his tracks though, the black dressed mariachi band gunner saw a pair of wide googling eyes staring up to him... quiet as he saw these familiar eyes, he asked baffled, "Poncho?"
For there with him somehow, was his small pink axolotl pal who stared up to him blankly. Seeing him, Juan couldn't help but ask, "What're you doing in here? Wha-!?"
BBBBZZZZ!
Alarmed in seconds, he heard that ferocious and horrible deafening buzzing! As he did so, his eyes became wide eyed as he saw again they were forming those horrible jaws to snap up him and his pal!
"Oh no...!" He uttered this was really bad! However-!
GLOW!
Suddenly though his fearful thoughts were stopped! For then turning he saw Yuffie's life force continuing to glow in his pink pal's hands. As he did so, his eyes became wide... then quickly he felt a strong sense of resolve grow inside of himself!
Quickly reaching his right hand over, he took the glowing life force into his hands. As he did so, he knew he had to make a stand! Then as his pal looked up to him, Juan drew out his pistols. As he did so, looking to them he was quiet before he looked to his pal and said, "Hey? Poncho?"
Hearing his friend call his name, the pink axotol didn't respond. However he simply listened on and heard Juan continue on to say, "What do you say? Should we go en un resplandor de gloria?"
Poncho still didn't respond... however he flew on up and landed on Juan's right shoulder. As he did this, the mariachi gunner was glad for the silent support. So with a nod of his own, he aimed and doing so he focused all his energy into his pistols! Doing this, the weapons glowed brightly with vibrantly red light! As they did so, quickly they merged into one becoming his trademark Boomstick!
Doing so the ferocious bugs were beginning to get closer and closer towards them! Juan focusing still, then couldn't help but whisper, "Please let this shot get through!" With that quiet prayer uttered, he then felt his power max out as he shouted, "BOOMYA!"
BLAST!
Instantly the explosion shot straight through the bug! Creating a huge hole in it and in seconds it struck the swarm of bugs making them all depart and fly away in seconds!
Amazed in seconds to see that this attack had worked, Juan then with a massive grin cried out, "Yeah I did it! I blew up the cobista! I-!"
ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!
Suddenly the bug he was within was blown apart by a series of powerful blasts of power! As this occurred, suddenly he realised with alarm... he was falling!
"AAAGGGHHH!"
BBBBZZZZ!
In seconds the swarm of black insects came together to form their ferocious swarm and dove down to devour him again! Seeing this, Juan was alarmed! He couldn't imagine a worse scene to greet him! However now he was out of his prison, he was tired of being a sitting duck! So taking his Boomstick again he aimed and cried out, "You're not snappin' me up!" With that he unleashed his shots!
KABOOM! KABOOM! KABOOM!
ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!
Instantly in seconds, as he fired the mysterious glowing arrows were shot too! Bathing the jaws of ferocious bugs in a blanket of fire! Making it roast in the air! All of the ferocious creature's it was clear could not stand this terrible bombardment of power!
RROOAARRGGHH...!
Instantly the terrifying sight before the mariachi gunner was turned into nothing but smouldering embers and quickly they dispersed into the air. Leaving no trace whatsoever.
Juan was hugely glad for this! But then as his Boomstick came apart and became his pistols again, he saw he had one last terrible problem to deal with! Gravity was still taking him down to the depths below! He had to get a hold of something or-!
GRAB!
Suddenly in moments, his right leg was grabbed from behind and it stopped his descent in seconds! Making him dangle down and look at the floor of the jungle below him... he was insanely lucky! As he realised this, he couldn't help but utter with huge relief, "Ohhh...! Gracias a dios!" However now he was puzzled. What had stopped his fall?
Turning his eyes to look on up, he saw with astonishment he'd been saved by none other than the woman who he saw was standing with Mickey! As he looked to her, he could help but grin awkwardly before saying, "Ha ha... thanks Doc!"
Quiet as she heard this, Fran narrowing her eyes then informed Juan, "I am not a doctor..."
"Oh?" Juan answered her. Then as he did so, he had to ask, "So I guess you don't like joke's huh? Conejo Seonrita?"
To which hearing this, Fran informed him, "Not at the inappropriate time." Then as she said that-!
"AAAGGGHHH!"
In seconds distracted, Fran immediately turned her eyes in the direction she'd heard that cry of pain!
As she did so, instantly Juan looked in the same direction! As he did so, he asked in alarm, "Mickey amigo?!"
Hearing him say this, Fran then said, "There's no time!" With that she took off, carrying Juan with her!
As she did this, the black mariachi gunner cried out, "Hey! I'm not yer catch of the day! Put me down I-!"
But Fran didn't have the time to stop! She and her now free ally had to go and help the mouse king, who it was clear was in terrible jeopardy!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"GGGRRRAAAHHH!"
"HYAAA!"
Striking again and again against Peekaboo and Greeble who were recoiling in pain against his blow's, Mickey was inflicting huge amounts of damage upon the belt that held the gem that contained Yuffie's body! He was desperate! He had to be fast! He had to save her or-!
CRACK!
In seconds, the belt was losing it's grip upon the stone! Seeing this, Mickey knew he had a chance! He was close to-!
"That's enough!"
ZZZAAAPPP!
"AGH!"
In seconds Mickey was struck away by a powerful blast of electricity! Doing this, he was thrown back onto a long branch! Sizzling from the pain, the mouse king winced as he sat himself up. Doing this he looked to the monstrous bird with narrowed pained eyes.
Seeing him do this, Peekaboo and Greeble mad, then moved their own heads up and revealed that their flows of electrical power had been restored! They were preparing to fire!
As he saw this, Mickey knew he had to act fast! So quickly aiming, he cried out, "Pearl!" With that a sphere of light raced from the end of his keyblade and headed straight for the belt around Greeble and Peekaboo's stomach! In seconds it was struck!
"GRRAAHHH!"
As this monstrous cry filled the air, Mickey then pushing himself got up and as he did so, he rushed forwards and in seconds cried out, "Thundaga!"
BLAST!
In seconds, the terrible bird was struck all over by the powerful thunderous blast of power from the mouse king! As the terrible bird became electrified, Mickey straight back again and started striking the belt again and was trying hard again to pry the gem away!
Feeling him do this, Greeble and Peekaboo were enraged! Feeling him trying to peel away their very core of power, the peppermint green bird then hissed angrily, "You tenacious rodent!"
Peekaboo having enough of this too, couldn't help but ask his pal, "Hey?" With that as Greeble turned to him, the pink coloured bird then said, "Why don't we fry him?"
As this question was asked, Greeble smirked as he replied, "Yeah we should!"
CLINK!
Then hearing the sound of the chains holding them back again, he then said, "But first of all, we gotta get rid of these restraints!" Then looking behind himself he called out, "Shirma!"
Instantly at his word, the pink haired white mage acted and stood herself up. Seeing her do this, Greeble then informed the girl, "Give us some support!"
To which as this command was issued, the white mage acted immediately! Reaching up her wand into the air, she called out in an emotionless voice, "Protect!"
SHINE!
"WHOA!"
In seconds Mickey was sent flying away from the monstrous bird! As he was, colliding onto a branch he looked on with shock as he then saw with shock that now a shinging barrier was now all around the horrible creature!
SMASH!
Then as this occurred, in seconds with alarm Mickey saw the chains he'd fastened down to stop the terrible monster were all destroyed! As they were he became wide-eyed as-!
"Curaga!"
Immediately the dazzling green glowing spell rained upon the monster and miraculously the burning and charring damage that had been inflicted upon it had all but vanished! Seeing this, Mickey knew this was really bad! That it was-!
"Ah! Now that's what I call refreshing!" Greeble spoke as he flexed out his neck with a slight click!
As he did this, Peekaboo agreed as he replied, "You're telling me!" Then looking to their oppononet he then said, "Now, let's get cookin'!" With that the two birds threw their heads back and in seconds their mouths lit up with terrible volts of electricity!
Seeing this, Mickey knew he had to act fast! So pointing his keyblade out he cried, "Firaga!"
BLAST!
With that in seconds a burning comet of fiery power shot forwards straight towards the belt upon the monster!
"Shell!"
However quickly the spell was thwarted and stopped in moment's! As a magical green barrier emerged and stopped the attack from making any impact!
Shocked as he saw this, Mickey then saw with even magic being unaffected on the creature's one weak spot. That would mean-!
ZZZAAAPPP!
ZZZAAAPPP!
Instantly both bird heads fired their shots of ferocious electricity! Seeing them Mickey immediately went to dodge and jump! Quickly he missed the first shot that came racing at him but as he turned in the air-!
"AAAGGGHHH!"
In seconds he was struck and horrible paralysing electricity was zapping itself all over his body! Making him fall to the floor that was down below them all!
Seeing their prey fall into the depths that were below them, both Greeble and Peekaboo grinned sinisterly! As they did so, they knew that the battle was near to it's end! Knowing this, the peppermint green chocobo head then said, "Now! Let's give him his final grace!"
Nodding eagerly, Peekaboo then added, "Yeah! Then we can chow down!" With that the sinister two headed bird flew itself down, to deliver the final blow to the helpless keyblader!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Arriving quickly on the scene, both Fran and Juan saw what had unfolded. Both of them were horrified! The mariachi gunner couldn't help but say, "Oh this is bad! Really bad conejo senorita!"
"I know!" Fran replied, then doing so she started to look beneath herself.
Seeing her do this, Juan then decided it was about time for one important thing to be done, "Um? Fran senorita?"
"What is it?" The rabbit earred woman replied.
Glad he'd got her attention, Juan finally made his request, "Do you please think ya can put me upright now? My blood's all goin' to my head!"
As this request was put to her, Fran was silent before she looked back to him. With a blank look on her face as she studied him being held upside down by her firm clawed hand, she finally released him.
Finally released, the gunner sighed with relief as he said, "Oh am I glad to see the world vertical!" However moving a little, he couldn't help but say as the world shook around him, "Oh... I'm feeling dizzy here!"
However not in the mood for foolishness, Fran then said, "Come! We must make haste!" With that she departed, quickly descending down upon the many vines and leaves that surrounded them all.
Hearing her words, Juan hasitly trying to recover from the merry go round in his brain, shook his head vigorously! Doing this, he saw her making tracks! As he did so, he cried out, "Hey! Fran senorita wait up!" With that he quickly raced to catch up to her with Poncho trailing closely behind him!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Agh!"
Landing hard on the ground that was below, Mickey was aching terribly all over! As he was, he grimaced feeling the terrible affects of the paralysis.
As it was, he was desperate to pull himself together. For he knew that Yuffie was still counting on him! Shirma was too and the others, along with Fran and Juan, they would be-!
BBBBZZZZ!
Hearing this hideous noise, immediately made Mickey open his eyes. As he did so, he saw all around him were all the monstrous and terrible bugs that had chased him and Fran earlier when they had first arrived in the gigantic jungle.
Seeing them sway and tread around him hauntingly back and forth. He could feel the sinister hunger they all had, to devour his heart...
However he was powerless, he couldn't do anything against them with the lightning numbing his limbs making him unable to move...
CRASH!
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!"
Suddenly though, feeling a terrible tremor in the ground along with hearing this dreadful cackle. Mickey winced some more and opening his eyes as the shaking ceased, he saw above him a towering massive shadow. Seeing it, he saw the shape that was creating it and he recognised it to be none other than Greeble and Peekaboo.
Seeing the mouse king in such a pathetic state, the monstrous bird couldn't help but grin with both it's faces. Looking down at him, Greeble couldn't help but say, "Ha! Looks like yer not gonna scamper away from us now!"
"Yeah!" Peekaboo cried out, then he licked his beak and as he did so, he could still taste the traces of sparks that were along the edges of his tongue. Feeling the taste of it, he couldn't help but continue on to say, "And I think it's time to give him a final roasting!"
Mickey breathed in and out hard, he was in terrible pain. But he still couldn't move! He couldn't-!
"Yeah I think we should too!" Greeble said and with that, he opened his mouth widely and as he did so. Peekaboo did the same and with that their opened beaks began to spark and burn with electricity as it's thunder attack was about to be unleashed once more!
Knowing this terrible power was coming, Mickey braced himself for the pain that was soon to come! For with it, he was sure it would be-!
ZZZAAAPPP!
ZZZAAAPPP!
Instantly the attack was at it's peak and in seconds, the attacks were being launched straight towards the mouse king! Feeling it's terrible heat coming straight at him, Mickey looked away and as he did-!
ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!
BLAST!
BLAST!
Suddenly shots were fired from on high! As they were, Mickey turned and saw in seconds that the lightning attacks were stopped and destroyed in moments making them fizzle into nothing! Shocked at these he asked, "That was-!?"
"Hey!" Turning his head up mad, Peekaboo cried out, "What's the big idea?!"
Just as outraged, Greeble cried out mad, "Yeah just wha-!?"
ZAP!
Immediately a glowing shot entered Greeble's mouth! Then as it did-!
KABOOM!
"COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!"
Suddenly the ball of electricity that Greeble's mouth had been building up was immediately blasted away by the shot! Making the peppermint green headed bird cough out painfully as he felt a terrible burning sensation flow down his throat!
Seeing this, immediately Peekaboo cried out, "Greeble! What happened to ya!? Wha-!"
ZAP!
KABOOM!
"COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!"
Quickly the same thing happened to Peekaboo and in seconds, the two bird heads were coughing away feverishly! Both in terrible agony!
Mickey lying on the ground was amazed by this sight! For this was-!
BBBBZZZZ!
However he had no time to think, for quickly the bugs and insects who'd been standing back. All quickly started to rush forwards in the direction of the mouse king! All of them unable to control their greed or hunger any longer with their master in such a chaotic pained state.
Hearing them get closer to him, Mickey was terrified but before the terrible monsters could get close enough to touch him-!
"Not so fast ya locos!"
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Immediately more shots were fired out, stopping all the terrible insects in their tracks as they were all quickly pushed back and away by these painful blasts!
Amazed to see this as well, Mickey still lying on the floor had no idea what was going to happen now! For what could-!?
"COUGH! COUGH! COUGH!"
Coughing away, releasing puffs of smoke from his throat. Annoyed bitterly by this sudden surprise attack, Greeble had recovered enough to utter bitterly, "...So? We got a couple of party crashers have we!?" But quickly he knew how to fix this problem, so looking behind himself he cried out, "Shirma! Do some healing!"
With that hearing the command being issued to her, the pink haired girl lifted herself up and began to utter, "Cur-!"
"Not so fast!"
Suddenly, there was a shudder from behind the two birds as something landed on them! Shocked by this, Peekaboo turned and demanded, "Ha! Hey! Just who's-!"
"I am the terror who's come from the tree's, I am the liquidator here to ruin your payday!"
Hearing these lines, immediately both heads turned and there they saw standing on their back. With Shirma held under his arm like a bunch of newspapers, it was none other than Juan!
Immediately both heads seeing who was standing on them were angered as they simultaneously cried out together in unison, "You!"
Grinning mischievously as he heard these words, Juan though didn't make a reply. Instead running he took off and landed quickly on the ground, running in the direction of where Mickey was lying!
Seeing him go, quickly the monstrous two headed bird cried out, "Hey! Give us back our mage! She's ours! She's-!"
"She's not your property!"
ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!
In seconds, more powerful glowing shots were released from on high and began striking into the two headed bird! As they all did so, the monster looked up and saw mad who was shooting at them, it was none other than Fran!
Seeing her, the double headed bird had had enough! So quickly forgetting about Juan and his theft of their mage, they began releasing their blows of fierce electrical power at her!
ZZZAAAPPP!
ZZZAAAPPP!
However quickly and efficiently, Fran was avoiding each and every blow that was being sent her way! Jumping from branch to branch and getting cover from the thick foliage of the trees. As the powerful blows came flying and ceased for a few moments, she took her chance and raising her bow and arrow, she released her own power again!
ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!
Doing this, the chaotic battle between the rabbit earred archer and the double headed monstrosity continued as the black mariachi gunner finally made it over to Mickey, continuing to carry Shirma with him.
Seeing him approach, Mickey still aching from the paralysis he uttered with some difficulty, "Ju...an?"
Hearing him, the gunner then told him, "Hey! Amigo!" With that putting Shirma down who stood up and still like a lifeless statue, he continued on to say, "Sorry we're late! We had a lot of problems getting here."
As he heard this, Mickey wasn't surprised as he couldn't help but reveal a pained smile as he went on to say, "I can tell... it's a good to see ya!" However it was painful for him to continue so he had to stop for a brief moment, as he breathed in and out with some difficulty.
Looking at him struggle, Juan understood without a word having to be commented about the king's condition. But he knew how to resolve this problem! So quickly he told his pal, "Don't worry there Mickey amigo! I'll have ya fixed up!" With that looking to his side, he told his other pal, "Poncho! Give me a corp capsule!"
With that the pink Axotol hearing his friend's words, didn't make any gesture at all. However floating over, he opened his mouth wide and-!
PLOP!
Suddenly in moment's a white and purple labelled capsule emerged with the logo, Capsule Corp upon it. Looking down at the item that had been given to him, Juan smiled as he said, "I knew this capsule from Bulma would be useful one day!" Then looking to the listless female white mage he said, "Now! Let's get ya out of the blasted el hechizo!"
With that he moved to her and then bending himself down, he looked to the pink haired girl with a firm determined look in his eyes. As he did this, Mickey was confused and he tried to ask, "Juan what're you-?"
However not giving any time to answer to the mouse king, Juan placed one of his hands on Shirma's shoulders. Doing this, he then told the girl, "Shirma senorita... I'm sorry!" With that moving his other hand which held the capsule, he placed it to his forehead and said, "But we need ya back!" Then with those words he moved his head back and-!
BAM!
He smashed his forehead into Shirma's! Mickey becoming wide eyed was shocked! But then-!
KABOOM!
The capsule exploded and in seconds a cloud of white smoke spread out everywhere and as it did so-!
"Owww!"
Crying out loudly, an emotional voice clearly aching in pain sounded out! As it did so, some hurried footsteps were heard and in seconds moving back and out of the white puff of smoke, there revealed to all, was-! "Shirma!" Mickey cried out.
For there, was the pink haired white mage holding her head painfully with both hands. She was cringing, releasing a few small pained tears from her brown coloured eyes. However hearing the call from the mouse king, she looked and saw him, doing so she forgot her pain for a moment and asked, "Mickey...?" Then gazing around herself, she saw the world she was within and as she did so she asked, "What am I doing here? What-?"
"We don't have time Shirma senorita!" Then finally emerging from the white puff of smoke, came Juan. As he did so, it was clear he was aching badly from the act of restoration he had done as he continued on to say holding his own forehead, "We have to act fast! You must heal Mickey or-!"
"Agh!"
In seconds a sound of pain sounded out! Looking on, it was then everyone saw that there falling from the tree's came Fran! Struck by one of the blasts of electricity that had been continuously fired. Seeing this, Juan became more urgent as he told his friend, "Shirma! Please hurry!"
Hearing him but still not understanding what was going on, the pink haired white mage knew though that this wasn't the time to question. So nodding hurriedly she replied, "Alright! Okay!" With that she hurriedly began to cast her spells to heal the mouse king!
"Urgh...!" Annoyed bitterly as she lay on the ground herself now, Fran wincing opened her eyes to look at the one who'd made her this badly incapacitated. Doing so, she saw towering over her was Greeble and Peekaboo, who looked down at her with angered eyes... she in turn returned the same emotion in her own eyes.
Seeing her do this, Peekaboo then broke the silence as he said, "Y'know... we were gonna eat that rodent." Then smirking he decided to say what idea had come into his mind, "But I've heard that roast rabbit tastes way better!"
Feeling a chill go down her spine as she heard those words, immediately Fran uttered, "Tch!" Finding it too hard to say a single word.
However grinning, Greeble then decided to say, "Well? Why don't we have a try and see if it's true?"
As this suggestion was made, Peekaboo could feel his hunger grow inside. As he did so, he replied, "Yeah... let's do it!" With that both birds opened their mouths ready to take the rabbit earred archer into their beaks and-!
"Not so fast!"
"Firaga!"
BLAST!
"GRRAAHHH!"
In seconds, a powerful blast of the fire spell struck Greeble and Peekaboo's stomach! In the centre of the gem as it did so, they pulled back and growling in anger. They saw who had cast the spell, it was none other than Mickey!
Annoyed bitterly in moment's seeing that he was healed! But before they could move to speak! Juan came forward before the king and cried out, "Now you're gonna get it! Ustedes dos fea diriges pájaro!" With that he lifted his guns and-!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Instantly he released his shots! Doing so in seconds, he struck the monster's faces blinding them both and preventing them from touching Fran. As he did this, in seconds Mickey took off and began running forwards towards the bird to begin his attacks upon the monster's core again!
Seeing Mickey coming as they fell back from the pain, Greeble and Peekaboo were livid with anger! Practically growling with rage they went to turn themselves in the air to smash their long tail into the keyblader! Doing this, they shouted out together, "Take this!" Then just as the tail was about to make painful contact-!
"Protect!"
Instantly in seconds, a powerful transparent shield came forth and immediately deflected the blow! Stopping the attack from making any impact!
Shocked seeing this, Peekaboo and Greeble looked up and saw ahead, "Shirma!?"
The white mage maintaining the spell looked on with fierce determination at the two terrible birds! As she did so, she then said angered, "I'll make you pay for using me!"
Furious at this cry, the two headed monster was about to call back when-!
"HHHAAA!"
In seconds Mickey made contact and began striking against the belt around their middle! As he did so, in seconds the two headed monster stepped back in pain from the blows that were now being inflicted upon them!
Seeing this occur from where she was lying, Fran was silent. She was amazed that thing's had turned around so quickly for them! For now they were-!
"Hola senorita!"
Startled to hear this familiar voice, Fran turned herself and there she saw standing over her it was none other than Juan! He was looking down to her with a cheeky grin on his face as he asked her, "You need a caballero encantador to help you up?"
Not understanding what he meant by a couple of his words, Fran then told him, "I cannot... move in this condition!" For the paralysis was still affecting her limbs badly, as it was she told him, "If you do not have a remedy for this, I cannot-!"
"Esuna!"
Suddenly in seconds, another green glittering magic spell was cast and immediately the effects of the paralysis left the rabbit earred woman's body!
As it did so, she became astounded and moving herself up, she moved her arms and flexed out her hands. The sensation of being able to feel them again, was almost incredible! However before she could dwell on it-!
"Can you take a hand now?" With that she turned and saw Juan was extending his hand to her. Seeing him do this, with his warm smile still gracing his features she was quiet for a few moments. Then grudgingly... she took his hand and was lifted up back onto her feet. However she couldn't help but retort to him, "You should have assisted me sooner."
Laughing as he heard this he replied, "Of course, sorry!"
"Guys!"
Distracted both of the them turned and there they saw behind them, that it was none other than Shirma! Seeing her, they heard her say desperate to keep her concentration, "Please you must hurry! I can't keep my protection magic up for long so-!"
With a firm nod, seeing her struggle Juan then replied to the pink haired girl, "Okay senorita! We'll go and end this real fast!" Then turning to Fran he told her, "C'mon Fran let's show that doble de pollo who's at the top of the food chain!"
Hearing these words, Fran looking to him was quiet again for a moment. But then revealing a smile that was unusually unlike her, she replied, "Indeed let's!" With that they turned and aimed!
"HHHAAA!"
Smashing into the gem and belt over and over, Mickey was close to finishing the monstrosity off! He was-!
"GGGRRR!"
Angered bitterly by all this damage they were being inflicted with, Greeble and Peekaboo were fed up! So calling upon their fearsome powers, they each cried out, "You rodent! Eat this!"
ZZZAAAPPP!
With that they unleashed their power upon the mouse king! However the protective spell that had been cast was thwarting that fearsome destructive power that was trying to harm him. But he could see with great unease that the spell was beginning to waver! If he didn't hurry then-!
ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Suddenly a powerful barrage of shots were unleashed, as they were in seconds the terrible creature recoiled back from the firepower and this in seconds stopped them from releasing their terrible electrical barrage upon him and his shield!
Seeing this, he looked back and saw that now both Juan and Fran were firing their powers together and were stopping both heads from concentrating upon their dangerous spell against him, they were giving him his chance!
Realising this, Mickey delighted turned his attentions back to his enemy and in seconds he released all his strength into his blows!
"HHHAAA!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
He was at he end! He could feel it! As he felt this, he saw the gem begin to peel itself away from the belt! As he did so, he felt a rush of power as he cried out, "Now you're finished!" With that in seconds-!
SLASH!
"GRRAAHHH!"
In seconds the gem fell away from the belt and as it did so, immediately the giant double headed monstrous bird fell back and collided into the floor!
CRASH!
In moments as this occurred, Mickey breathed in and out heavily from the adrenaline rush. As he did so, he gradually tried to relax himself and as he did so... he released a huge sigh. Then as he did this, he felt the protective spell around him fall away and as it did so, he walked forwards and picked up the gem that was glowing green still. As he did, he revealed a relieved smile and said, "Finally... we got ya back Yuffie!"
Standing back himself and hearing these words, as Fran stood beside him and Shirma came walking over to them both, the black mariachi gunner smiled. Then reaching into his jacket pocket, he took out the glowing light of Yuffie's life. As he did so, he then said, "Yeah we have... all sides of ya, Yuffie senorita."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Shivering within the terrible depths of darkness, Yuffie was trying to warm herself as best she could. As she did so, she whispered to herself, "Cold... I'm so cold!" For the horrible sensation was burning her chillingly to the core!
Her teeth chattering, she began to feel a terrible iciness grow inside of herself. As she did so... there also was a drowsiness beginning to grow. It was causing her eyelids to slowly close, she was losing conciousness... this was almost welcoming to her. For if she went to sleep, she wouldn't feel this pain anymore, this burning. She would be free... she would be-!
"Yuffie!"
"Yuffie please!"
Yuffie senorita!"
As these words were cried out, the ninja girl hearing them felt she recognised these voices. But who were they? Who would be-?
"It's no good! She's been in this state for too long!"
Hearing this feminine concerned tone, Yuffie tried to place it. However she found it difficult to do so and so uttered, struggling to open her eyes, "Is that-?"
"Well then! I say we better combine strengths! Let's do this healing together Shirma!"
As this name was uttered, Yuffie asked, "Shirma?"
"Alright Mickey let's do this!"
Then as those determined words were uttered-!
GLOW!
"Ah!"
In seconds, an enormous glowing golden warmth was spread all around the ninja. She breathed in sharply with astonishment! For quickly in seconds, the burning cold was gone and as it was she felt so alert and awake! As she did so, she felt her strength return and as it did so, she had the will again to stand up. To get back up onto her feet!
Doing this quickly, she looked around herself and doing so she realised, "Wait? How did I get here? How did I-!?"
"I think it's working King Mickey! I think she's coming back!"
As these words were uttered, Yuffie asked, "King Mickey?"
"Yeah I think she is too! Our spells have done terrifically Shirma!"
Hearing this name, Shirma asked, "Shirma?" Then as she did this, recognistion lit up in her eyes as she then said, "That's right! I was supposed to help everyone! I was-!?"
"Yuffie senorita! Get back to us now! We Arcs and the committee need ya! Ya can't lie on the job!"
Then quickly she cried out knowing this voice, "Juan!" Then as she did so with this warmth and knowledge blooming within her. A light spread out within the darkness around her and as it did so-!
FLASH!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
FLASH!
Immediately in seconds from Mickey's and Shirma's hands along with Juan's, the green glowing gem and white glowing orb of life came together in seconds fusing and becoming one!
"Whoa!"
As Juan cried this out and everyone stared on in wonder, in seconds a shape emerged from the sparkling light display. They all quickly saw a female figure emerge! With short dark hair and dressed in her black and grey trendy attire the person who'd come back to them, was none other than, "Yuffie!" Everyone cried out in excitement!
With that as they did this, behind them all the monstrous double headed monster's transformation came undone and as their dark powers faded away. What was left lying on the floor unconscious were two small figures, one peppermint green along with a pink one. It was the two chocobo's, Peekaboo and Greeble.
However distracted from their state everyone was more delighted by the fact their imprisoned friend was back with them! But the ninja girl looking around herself and seeing the jungle's of giant tree's and leaves, looked to her friend's with widened eyes and as she did so, she had to ask, "Guys!? What happened to me!? What the heck's been going on!? What's-!?"
Then becoming distracted her brown eyes fell upon the tall rabbit earred figure who was with her friends. Her eyes becoming wide, she asked, "Who're you?"
To which hearing this question being put to her, Fran replied simply, "Someone new..."
Quiet as she heard this, Yuffie didn't know how to respond to this. However she was distracted as she heard Mickey then say, "Well it's a long story there Yuffie!"
Nodding himself as he heard this, Juan then added, "Yeah it is senorita!" But then tapping his hand to his chest, he proclaimed proudly, "But I'll be more than glad to tell ya about me and my amigo's exploits."
Shirma said nothing to this, but she smiled. She was so glad everyone was back together!
"Hya! Ha ha!"
Hearing this chuckle, the white mage turned in the direction where she thought she heard it. Looking to a particular set of bushes she was quiet. But she saw nothing... quiet, she wondered. Had she imagined it?
But there was no time to dwell on this... for with the explanations being made. They all had to be prepared, for the trials they were in hadn't come to an end yet, for themselves and their other friend's who were lost in the darkness beyond them all...
