Chapter 76: Deep Jungle
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. Wow I can't believe it's been a year already since I first started this story, thanks to all of you for sticking by me all this time. I can't believe how much this story has grown since I first started. I'm happy to say my story now has over 100,000 views and now has over 150 favorites! Thank you all so much for your support. The final game is coming out soon and I am excited to see what happens. In the meantime I hope you like what I have in store. I've got a little surprise for you all in this one and Blondie is the first to get an upgrade from Phineas and Ferb. Hope you like it. Please Review and Enjoy.
At the Mansion in Twilight Town Phineas and Ferb were working with the Moogle on Blondie's Mirrorpad and let me tell you she had a very VERY nervous look on her face.
"Uh what'cha doing to my mirrorpad?" Blondie asks.
"Making it awesome." Phineas said as Ferb nods before taking out a mallet. Whacking it multiple times Blondie cringes not liking where this is going.
"And done kupo." The Moogle said as Phineas handed her what looked like Blondie's mirrorpad but with a high-tech looking skin around it.
"Tada." Phineas said handing it to her.
"Huh? I don't know why but I kinda expected more." Blondie said examining it.
"Click the green button." Phineas said.
Blondie looks at her mirrorpad to see three buttons one green, one red and one blue. Pressing the green button multiple small orbs shoot out of the skin and float in the air surrounding her.
"We give you the Camera Droids." Phineas said as Blondie looks at them impressed. "You just control them with your touch screen and you can have them record whatever is going on with the team even when you're not around. They also can provide you with data on whatever Heartless you're facing by scanning them."
"There's also a laser defense system programmed into each of the droids to protect you in case of a need for battle and a stealth function to hide the camera droids in case you have a need for spying." Ferb said surprising Blondie.
"Wow…you talk Ferb?" Blondie said as Ferb moved his hands to symbolize he sometimes does.
"I can't wait to try this out." Blondie smiles.
In the back part of the mansion Lea was sitting down with Roxas.
"So, what's the deal with your lady situation?" Lea asks causing Roxas to blush.
"It's uh complicated." Roxas said as Lea sat up. "I try to figure out my feelings but then one of them does something amazing and I end up falling for her all over again."
"Wow, makes me wonder what will happen when I meet a girl." Lea smirks.
"Just try to make sure she's just one girl and not 8 girls." Roxas sighs causing Lea to chuckle.
"I don't know Roxas I was quite the ladies man before I joined the Organization." Lea said.
"Oh really? Then why haven't you met anyone yet?" Roxas smirks.
"Because I'm too busy looking after you all." Lea smirks ruffling Roxas' hair.
"Hey cut it out." Roxas chuckles.
"But seriously I just haven't met the right girl for me." Lea said before looking outside to see Alistair, Namine, Ashlynn and Xion practicing their keyblades. "They're getting good, at this rate they'll be unlocking more keyblades too."
"You really think so?" Roxas asks.
"Why not? I mean you trained them." Lea said.
"Hey Lea, I've been wondering something…what's your keyblade called?" Roxas asks.
"I call it Blazing Memory, got it memorized?" Lea said doing his signature pose causing Roxas to smirk.
"Sounds like the perfect name for a weapon for you." Roxas said.
"You're not the only one who's good with names." Lea said when the World map went off from inside the house alerting everyone. "Finally, some excitement."
As all of them make their way inside Roxas picks up the world Map to reveal a world with a large jungle and creatures swinging from the vines.
"Whoa." Hunter smiles.
"Now that's my kind of world." Ramona grins.
"It's called Deep Jungle, I remember this, this was the first world Sora went to save." Roxas said.
"Cool so that means he did all the hard work sealing it." Faybelle smiles.
"Faybelle one thing we've learned doing this is nothing is ever easy, you still have to put in hard work." Raven smirks.
"Do you guys know anything we should know about this world?" Amora asks looking at it carefully.
"Well Sora's main ally from this world was a man named Tarzan, he was a big help in helping stop a crazy hunter who had become possessed by the darkness." Namine said when Phineas and Ferb walk in.
"Sweet, our first mission. Ferb and I are all finished and ready to help." Phineas said.
"Faybelle, Crystal are you two ready to add more to your stories?" Apple asks.
"Ready." Crystal nods.
"I guess." Faybelle shrugs.
"Come on." Lea said as they all made their way towards the Tempest.
As Roxas turns to Ienzo, Hayner, Pence and Olette he walks over. "Hey thanks a lot guys."
"Friends stick together Roxas." Pence smiles.
"We'll handle things here; you guys just handle your thing." Hayner said giving him the thumbs up.
"Good luck." Olette nods as Roxas heads to the Tempest and they take off into space.
As they were approaching the new world Roxas was amazed by all the new settings and controls Phineas and Ferb had installed.
"Wow we got here a lot faster than I thought we would." Roxas said.
"It's the upgrades we put in, pretty cool huh?" Phineas asks.
"I'll say, you two have a future on this team." Roxas smirks turning to the others. "Okay so who's coming with me on this one?"
As the Tempest landed in Deep Jungle Roxas stepped out of the Tempest with Blondie, Hunter, Cerise, Ramona, Jillian and Amora.
"This group got room for one more?" Lea asks walking out after them.
"Always." Roxas smiles as they made their way into the jungle.
Little did they know in another part of the jungle an elderly man studying the jungle plants. He was short and was wearing a safari hat on his head. This was Prof. Archimedes Porter, Jane's father.
"I say this is amazing. You'd never find this sort of thing back home." He said when a mosquito flew near him and tries to swat it away. "Of course, you don't see giant bugs back home either. Get away! Away with you!" He said swatting it away unaware that he was being watched by two shadowy figures.
As Prof. Porter falls to the ground his hat helmet falls off his head.
"I do say, that root came out of nowhere." He said when the shadowy figures jumped down to reveal them to be some sort of Leopard men. "Oh uh you're an interesting fellow I don't believe we've met." He said when the Leopard men growl at him. "Oh my."
Not too far away Roxas and the Forever After Fighters were walking down the path when they heard a loud scream.
"Well that doesn't sound good." Ramona said.
"We better hurry." Cerise said as they ran towards the screaming.
Meanwhile in another part of the jungle a man was swinging from vines. He had long brown hair and was wearing only a loin cloth, this was Tarzan. Behind him a woman with long brown hair was struggling to catch up. This was Jane Porter.
"I heard something from over here." Tarzan said coming to a stop allowing Jane to catch up.
"What is it?" Jane looks down to see the Forever After Fighters running under them. "Now who might they be?"
"I don't know, but I intend to find out." Tarzan said leaping after them.
Arriving at the spot where Prof. Porter was kidnapped, they searched the area. Looking around Amora picks up the Professor's sketch pad. "Hmm not bad."
Jillian picks up the destroyed helmet and cringes. "Whatever it was that happened here it was not friendly." Jillian said.
"No kidding." Lea said when Tarzan lands in the trees above causing the branch to shake. "Who's there?" Lea turns.
All of them circled up as they prepared for whatever may come when they heard Tarzan's signature yell.
Looking up they saw Tarzan swing in on a vine and land in front of them. "Who are you and what have you done with him?"
"What do you mean? We got here just like a minute ago." Cerise said as they examined him.
"Fascinating he's some sort of wild man." Blondie said recording him.
Tarzan circles them when his eyes focused on Roxas. "Hmm." Tarzan walks up to Roxas and examines him.
"Uh is something wrong?" Roxas asks uncomfortably.
"Your eyes…I've seen them before." Tarzan said before smiling. "Sora."
Roxas looks at Tarzan surprised when Jane walks out of the forest. "Sora. Oh how wonderful it is to see again." Jane runs up to Roxas and was about to hug him when she looked at him carefully. "Wait you're not Sora."
"No, we're friends of Sora." Lea said.
"He's told us about you, my name's Roxas and these are my friends."
"Charmed I'm Jane Porter and you've already met my husband Tarzan." Jane said surprising them.
'Whoa lot has happened since Sora came here.' They all thought.
"Listen I know we just met but do you know anything about what happened to my daddy? The man who's stuff this all belongs to?" Jane asks.
"Sorry, but we just got here ourselves." Hunter shakes his head.
"Well this day just keeps getting better." Jane sighs.
"Don't worry Jane I'll find him." Tarzan said.
"We'll find him." Ramona said surprising them.
"Really? You will?" Jane asks.
"Helping others is kinda what we do." Cerise smirks.
"Oh thank you all." Jane said as they started searching for Archimedes.
Meanwhile the Leopard men were leading Archimedes down a hallway and he was amazed by what he was seeing.
"I must say for a non-human species you certainly do have a way with architecture." He said as the Leopard Men push him into the throne room and he bangs into a pedestal causing a vase to fall on his head.
Up on the throne a woman was examining Archimedes. She had tan skin, white hair and was hearing a fur bikini like outfit. This was Queen La.
"What a surprise, you finally found me a mate." She smiles until Archimedes bangs into a wall. "He would be perfect if I was looking for a Court Jester, but I asked you to bring me a King!" La said as she raised her scepter and blasted the two leopard men who brought him to her.
"I say is anyone there? This appears to be stuck on me old noggin." Archimedes said.
"Perhaps the guards will find a better use for him. Sacrifice him." La orders as two leopard men grabbed him and led him away.
Making her way to her chambers La looks at herself in the mirror. "Ugh can't those idiots do anything right? At this rate I'm gonna spend the rest of my life trapped in this old city by myself." La said when a green light shines from her mirror.
"So, you wish for freedom from this prison?" A voice said coming from the mirror causing La to narrow her eyes.
"And what's it to you?" La asks suspicious.
"Someone who's willing to give you what you want, but if you succeed you must in turn help me. Just use this spell and you will find your King." The voice said.
Down by the cliffs Roxas, Tarzan, Jane and everyone else were scaling the cliffs.
"Do you guys always have to do so much traveling?" Lea asks as he climbed.
"Well lucky for us, we did this before we joined so we can handle it." Cerise groaned climbing up while Hunter had used a rope to help Blondie and Jane up the cliff.
"Are we there yet?" Blondie asks.
"We're not there until we find the Professor." Tarzan said.
"Does anyone even know where we are?" Amora asks as Roxas shook his head.
"I've been following Tarzan." Roxas said.
"I've never been to this part of the jungle before." Tarzan said as he reached the top. "But something tells me we're there."
As all of them reached the top they saw an old abandoned city close by.
"Whoa, didn't expect to see that in the middle of the jungle." Ramona said.
"It looks like a city." Tarzan said.
"But what's it doing out here?" Jillian asks when they heard a noise.
"What's that?" Roxas asks as they followed the noise to a building where Prof. Porter was tied to a stone tablet as multiple Leopard men surrounded him as well as Bouncywild and Powerwild Heartless.
"Uh yes I do say, this is all good and fun, but perhaps you could let me go?" He asks when the sunlight enters a red gem and from it a beam fires out and moves down towards him.
"Professor!" Looking up the leopard men and the Heartless look to see Tarzan by the opening. Jumping down Tarzan tackles a leopard man to the ground. "What are you?" He asks when the door bursts open to reveal Cerise and Ramona dashing along the walls with Flowmotion, Roxas and Lea rush in with keyblades summoned, Amora had her magic ready while Hunter and Jillian were up above with bow and arrow and blaster drawn to cover them.
"Out of the way!" Jillian yells firing multiple blasts at the Bouncywilds who countered with their slingshots.
"Alright guys let's see what these things can do." Blondie said activating her Mirrorpad and 8 small camera droids shoot out. Using the joystick 4 of them recorded Roxas and Lea fighting off Heartless, Amora blasting two leopard men into the wall, and Ramona grappling with a leopard man while the rest fired lasers giving them the openings they needed. "Ooh now this is just right." Blondie grins looking at all the footage she was getting and from finally being able to contribute to the fighting.
"Blondie, help Jane!" Roxas said as Jane ran to free her father before he got cut in half.
"Right." Blondie said grabbing a hair clip and running to undo the locks on his hands.
"I say Jane can you believe this? They seem to be neither leopard nor man, how is this possible?" Archimedes asks.
"All questions for another time daddy." Jane said as she and Blondie started picking the locks.
Up above La heard the loud noise and storms in. "All I ask for is a moment's...peace." La stops when she sees Tarzan throw a leopard men into two more and Lea has flames surround Blazing Memory and slices 4 Heartless at once. "Impressive." La turns to see Roxas blast two leopard men to the ground with a powerful Aeroga and Hunter shoot down the remaining Heartless. "Hmm a little on the younger side, but I'm not complaining." La smiles liking what she saw.
Blondie moves quickly and undoes one of the shackles at the same time Jane undoes the other one.
"Got it!" Blondie said as they ran down. "Amora we got him!"
Amora looks to see everyone running towards her. Turning to the remaining Heartless and leopard men she tightens her fist before aiming at the ground. "Quake!" Amora punches the ground and the earth shakes destroying the remaining Heartless and knocking the leopard men into the wall.
"Come on, let's go!" Cerise said as they ran to the exit.
Acting quickly La slams her staff into the ground and appears in front of them blocking their exit.
All of them brace themselves for another battle but to their surprise La lowers her staff.
"Allow me to apologize, sometimes these leopard men can get a little out of hand." La said.
"Out of hand? They stole my daddy, and what's more they nearly cut him in half." Jane said.
"They see something in the jungle, they just have to sacrifice it." La said acting like it was normal thing
"Yes well, no harm no foul miss uh you know I don't think we got your name." Archimedes said.
"I am La, Queen La." She said.
"Oh like the note." He said as La made her way towards Roxas, Hunter, Lea and Tarzan.
"And who might you brave warriors be?" La asks causing Amora and Cerise to glare.
"I'm Roxas and these are my friends Hunter and Lea."
"I am Tarzan."
"And I'm Tarzan's wife, Jane Porter." Jane said but La ignored her.
"Tarzan, Hunter, Lea, Roxas I insist you four stay as royal guests of Opar." La said.
"What's Opar?" Tarzan asks.
"I'll show you. Follow me." La said leading them out of the temple. As they left Amora looked to the leopard men and then to La before following them.
"Behold, the time forgotten mystery of the Jungle." La said leading them through the city.
"Wow." Blondie said using her camera droids to record the city around them.
"I should say so, this must be nearly 2000 years old." Archimedes said.
"Pretty cool." Hunter said as he almost walks into a statue but La stops him.
"It's best to keep your eye on where you're going at all times." La smirks.
"Right sorry." Hunter said rubbing the back of his head when La blows a small breath of green dust which enters Hunter's body for a brief second causing him to smile. "But I got to talk you, you vision of beauty." Hunter said causing Amora to look at him in shock.
"Uh Hunter, what are you doing?" Amora asks.
"Just thanking La for the tour." Hunter smiles before walking ahead leaving Amora curious.
"How long have you lived here?" Lea asks.
"Most of my life, it's a pretty sad story, fortunately the leopard men took me in and did a pretty good job raising me." La said.
"Those things raised you?" Ramona asks looking at some leopard men walking.
"Well our dad is a wolf so who are we to judge?" Cerise said.
"I was raised by apes." Tarzan said knowing how she felt.
"Roxas and I had didn't have much of a choice when we started out either." Lea frowns as he and Roxas remembered being forced into the Organization when they first became Nobodies.
"My we have so much in common." La smiles as Roxas and Tarzan walk near her. Using this chance she blows the green dust towards them entering Roxas and Tarzan when no one was looking causing them both to smile.
"We have so much in common." Jane mocks silently.
"Now there's the matter of your quarters. I'll have you all shown to them." La said.
"Thanks but we're good." Amora said when Roxas steps in front of her.
"We'd love to." Roxas said ignoring her causing La to grin.
"Excellent, I'll see you all soon." La smirks walking away swaying her hips for the men.
"Whoa what's with her?" Lea asks.
"I know, when did she become so amazing?" Hunter asks.
"She is quite the woman." Tarzan nods causing Amora and Jane to glare.
"Something's up." Amora whispers.
"Agreed, perhaps we should pay our generous host a visit." Jane whispers.
In La's chambers La enters with a big smile on her face.
"I can't believe the spell worked. I'm the only thing those three are thinking about. Of course, I didn't have time to use it on that Lea." La smirks unaware that Amora and Jane were down the hall.
"Spell? What kind of spell makes someone fall in love with another person?" Jane asks.
"That's impossible. No such spell exists and believe me I've looked." Amora said as they peeked inside to see La's mirror was glowing green and from it a shadow appeared.
"I see you like the results of my spell." The shadow said getting La's attention.
"Yes, your advice seemed to be most helpful." La smirks walking over. "I assume I owe you something for this?"
"Why yes, you do." The shadow grins as the green flames shot out of the mirror and surrounded La causing her to gasp in shock along with Jane and Amora. From the mirror the shadow takes form to reveal Maleficent. "Such a gullible tool. I had hoped she would have been as good a servant as Clayton, but no matter once my spell takes effect the ones under won't stop until they destroy this world." Maleficent laughs as La's eyes turned green and with it all the leorpard men glow and roar all over Opar.
"What did you do to me?" La asks.
"Thank you for the new servants." Maleficent said as she disappeared causing darkness to surround the leopard men.
In the main room Roxas, Hunter and Tarzan were holding their heads in pain as Cerise, Ramona, Jillian, Lea, Blondie and Archimedes ran to them.
"I say are you three okay?" Archimedes asks when the three of them turn to them with anger and rage in their eyes.
"Uh Roxas, everything alright buddy?" Lea asks nervously.
"You're all getting the way of my love." Roxas growled summoning the Emperor Llama Keyblade hurting Cerise by that remark.
"Your love? La is mine!" Hunter said drawing his bow while Tarzan growls taking a gorilla like stance.
"Guys what are you doing?" Blondie asks.
"It was a trick!" They look to see Jane, Amora and La being led in as the leopard men had weapons pointed at them. "La casted a spell on them turning them into this." Amora said shooting a glare at her.
"They're going to destroy all of Opar and then this world!" Jane said causing them to gasp when the leopard men surrounded them.
"Old man, you might want to find a place to hide." Lea said summoning Blazing Memory, Jillian drew her blaster and Cerise and Ramona took fighting stances.
The Leopard men charge at them, but Lea slams his keyblade into the ground creating a wave of flames knocking all of them including the one guarding Jane, Amora and La.
"La, you have to stop this spell!" Lea said running over.
"I can't, she took my powers away. I'm her servant now." La frowns in defeat.
Growling Lea turns to the leopard men who were charging towards him and La.
Down below Hunter was firing multiple arrows at Jillian who was bobbing and weaving before firing shots from her blaster cancelling out the arrows.
"Whoa!" Cerise said as she narrowly dodges Tarzan's spear while Ramon comes up from behind with her claws ready. Swinging her claws Ramona swipes but Tarzan blocks with his spear.
Lastly Amora was facing off against Roxas and she had some mixed emotions about doing this. "Roxas I know you're in there, you don't love La. She used magic on you." Amora said as Roxas roars in anger as Emperor Llama's blade extends towards her, but Amora uses her magic to block it.
All around them Blondie's camera droids were recording all the battles and shooting lasers at the leopard men who tried to approach them.
"Shocking news viewers! Our friends Roxas and Hunter have been cursed along with our new ally Tarzan into attacking their own friends. How will we break this curse? Don't touch that button and hopefully we'll find out." Blondie said to one droid who stayed behind to record her.
"Wisdom Drive!" Amora said her outfit turned to blue and she jumped out of the way of Roxas' keyblade attacks. "Thunadaga!" Amora yells as she released a powerful bolt of lightning at Roxas who summons Royal Pain and blocks it with both keyblades causing him to skid backwards.
Hunter shoots an arrow knocking Jillian's blaster out of her hand and sent it skidding across the room.
"Gotcha!" Hunter yells swinging his bow trying to knock Jillian away, but Jillian ducks out of the way and jumps backwards. Reaching into her pocket she pulls out some magic beans.
"Sorry Hunter, no hard feelings." Jillian threw the beans at him and the second the beans touched the ground a large beanstalk grew where Hunter was and knocked him into the wall as the beanstalk shot into the sky.
Turning around Tarzan looked in surprise to see the large beanstalk grow out of nowhere giving Cerise and Ramona an idea.
Tarzan turns back to see Ramona rushing towards him. Readying his spear Tarzan swings at Ramona who slides under the spear at the last second before grabbing the spear handle and elbows Tarzan in the gut knocking him into the Beanstalk. Grabbing some vines Cerise wraps them around Tarzan and the two sisters run around the beanstalk tying Tarzan to it.
As Lea knocks another leopard man away, he turns to La who was still laying in defeat. Growling Lea runs over and grabs the woman by her shoulders. "Pull yourself together!" He yells surprising her. "You got tricked, so what? If you don't do something your home and everyone here are in serious trouble. Don't you care about anything?!" Lea snaps.
La looks at Lea in shock as a bright light started to engulf him. "I spent years being a servant to someone thinking it would help but he took my two best friends from me and labeled me a traitor. You can become a servant, or you can rise above it and become more, but let me tell you something La, if you sit around and do nothing then you're going to lose EVERYTHING!" Lea yells as the bright light engulfs him and from the light Lea was in a red, black, silver keyblade armor with orange highlights and a helmet that had a fire emblem on it.
La looks at Lea in awe as flames surrounded him. "Jillian, Cerise, Ramona! Out of the way!" Lea yells throwing Blazing Memory which turns into a hot rod shaped glider, with his old chakrams acting as the wheels.
The three girls look to see Lea climb onto his glider and charge towards the beanstalk. Jumping out of the way Lea's wheels surrounded themselves with flames as they sliced the beanstalk into pieces causing chunks to fall onto Hunter and Tarzan trapping them.
"Incredible." La said as two leopard men rushed towards. Tightening her fist around her staff La stood up and spun it in her hands whacking the leopard men to the ground. "I'm not handing my city over to someone else! I'd sooner destroy it!"
Concentrating La's scepter glowed red as she fired a blast hitting Tarzan causing everyone to gasp until the light fades away.
"Ugh what happened?" Tarzan asks looking around.
"Tarzan?" Jane asks concerned.
"Jane." Tarzan smiles as Jane helps him up.
"Are you still under La's spell?" Jane asks.
"Jane is the best." Tarzan said causing Jane to smile and hug him.
"You undid the spell?" Lea turns to La surprised.
"Why not? I am the one who used it?" La smirks as she points her staff at Hunter and blasts him with a red light undoing the spell. "And now for you." La said turning to Roxas who was firing multiple blasts of light from his keyblades at Amora who was skillfully dodging them with the boost of speed Wisdom Drive provided.
"Fait—"
"Stopga!" Amora freezes Roxas in place before he could unleash his best spell.
Using this opening La blasts Roxas undoing the spell on him just as Amora's Wisdom Drive wore off.
"Ugh what happened?" Roxas asks as Amora walks over.
"The only person who's allowed to enchant you is me." She smirks cupping his cheek causing Roxas to blush softly when suddenly Opar started to shake violently while the leopard men started to roar getting everyone's attention.
"Uh La, I don't suppose there's any more secrets you'd like to tell us?" Lea said.
"I am no longer in control of the leopard man who keep Opar safe, and if the spell is lifted…" La looks to see the leopard men turning into regular leopards.
"Wait those things were real leopards all along?" Jane asks shocked.
"Astonishing." Archimedes said.
"You cannot make good footage like this up." Blondie said recording everything when a large chunk of the roof came down.
"We might want to leave now." La said.
"Good idea." Cerise said as they ran to the door.
Making their way to the bridge they all cringe to find the other side was blocked by a large Leopard shaped Heartless. It had golden fur, sharp jagged claws, with a Heartless logo on it's back, this was Opar's Guard.
"What is that?" Ramona asks when Blondie remembers the app Phineas and Ferb installed.
Aiming her mirrorpad at it she scanned the Heartless. "Let's see, Opar's Guard. A Heartless that specializes in speed and quick slash attacks with it's claws. When it charges our best chance to attack is when its back is to us or right before it charges." Blondie said.
"La, how long do you think we have before this place comes down on top of us?" Jane asks.
"If we're lucky a few minutes." La said.
"Better move fast then." Lea said summoning Blazing Memory while Roxas summoned Storm Condor.
"I'll help." Tarzan said.
"Here it comes." Roxas said as Opar's Guard rushed towards them. "Lookout!" All of them lunge to the sides to avoid being trampled.
As it turned around Opar's Guard growled when Storm Condor flew towards it hitting it in the head causing it to step backwards.
Shaking off the attack Opar's Guard swipes his claws knocking Lea backwards as he tried to attack from above.
La raised her staff and fired multiple green blasts at it, but Opar's Guard shook it off before charging and ramming into her and Jillian.
Turning around Opar's Guard charges again.
"Blackout!" Amora said as Opar's Guard's eyes turn black temporarily blinding it stopping it in its tracks.
Using this opening Tarzan, Cerise and Ramona swung in on vines and delivered two kicks to the face before Tarzan swung in and stabbed it with his spear causing it to scream in pain.
Lea roars as he throws Blazing Memory causing a pillar of flames to erupt under it.
"We're barely making a dent. At best we're just slowing it down." La said.
"Yeah I can see that." Lea said when a large chunk of city was falling down towards him.
"Look out!" La tackles Lea out of the way as the piece falls to the ground.
As the two of them roll to the edge La stops on top of Lea and the two of them stare into each other's eyes for a few seconds.
"La…you saved me." Lea said surprised.
"Yes…I did." La said before snapping out of it and helping him up. "Opar is done for, we need to finish it off now and get out of here."
"Don't worry I got an idea. Roxas! Let's finish it off!" Lea said as Roxas nods.
The two of them stand in front of the others and with both Keyblades glowing light surrounds Roxas' keyblade while flames surrounded Lea's.
Growling Opar's Guard charged at them with claws and fangs glowing.
"Inferno Storm!" Roxas and Lea yelled as they unleashed a hurricane of flames which surrounded Opar's Guard hitting it from all sides with glowing fireballs destroying it and releasing a large heart into the sky.
As Opar fell to pieces all of them ran for their lives as they made it out just in time.
On the outskirts of the destroyed city of Opar, all of them were breathing heavily as they rested on the hill.
"That was way too close." Ramona pants.
"Agreed." Jane pants.
"Ugh, man that was a crazy trip." Lea said when suddenly a light forms in his hand. "Huh?" Lea and everyone look in surprise to see a new keyblade appeared in Lea's hand. The guard was round, the handle of Tarzan's spear, the blade was La's scepter with golden leopard claws at the end, and the keychain was a small leopard.
"Whoa, a new keyblade." Lea said amazed.
"Guess you earned it more than I did in this world." Roxas smirks.
"What are you gonna call this one?" Amora asks.
"How…Wild Side?" Lea smiles.
"I like it." Roxas chuckles.
"So La, what are you gonna do now? I mean without Opar and the Leopard men what is there for you?" Cerise asks.
"I don't know, in one day everything in my life disappeared. I don't know what to do." La frowns sitting down.
Lea looks at her and the look on her face reminded him of when he lost Roxas and Xion for the first time. It was the absolute worst feeling in the world for him and even when he supposedly couldn't feel anything as a nobody, it did hurt him.
Taking a deep breath Lea walked over to La and offered her a hand.
"Well then…what if I helped you find something?" Lea asks surprising everyone especially La.
"Why would you help me after all I did to you and your friends?" La asks.
"I too am curious why?" Jane asks.
"Call it old habits, pity or maybe even worry. La for some reason whatever caused you to lose the leopard men was after your powers. That means they could still be after you. Opar may be gone, but you're still here. I could help learn to use your powers for something more than yourself. You have a choice La. You can come with me and become a better person or you can stay here in this jungle wondering what could have been. It's your choice." Lea said leaving La to look at him.
"We'll give you until tomorrow to think it over, but after that we have to leave." Roxas said as they all walked away leaving La to look at the ruined remains of her old life.
Turning around Amora looks at La for a few seconds before following the others back to the Tempest.
That night everyone was talking about the mission and what Blondie had recorded.
"You guys, these Camera Droids were just right, you guys are amazing." Blondie smiles as Ferb brushes it off.
"Ferb's right, it's just what we do." Phineas smiles.
"Man nothing hits the spot like this." Lea sighs as he sat with Roxas and Xion eating their celebratory ice cream.
"Pretty crazy mission today." Xion said.
"You have no idea." Roxas said.
"Yeah, next time we go on a mission the three of us need to be on it." Lea said.
"If we're together we can do the job all by ourselves." Roxas smirks.
"Oh yeah I bet the others will be so happy to hear that." Xion said as they laughed.
Getting up Roxas finishes his ice cream to see Amora walking to the entrance and sitting down to look at the entrance to the forest.
"Something on your mind?" Roxas asks getting her attention.
"Oh Roxas…I was just thinking about La." Amora said as Roxas sat down next to her.
"Ugh I can't believe I let myself fall under her spell." Roxas groans putting a hand on his head. "Sorry I tried to hurt you back there."
Amora giggles. "Like you could ever do that. Anyway, I was thinking about that offer Lea made her."
"Do you think she's gonna take it?" Roxas asks.
"I don't know, but I do know one thing. When she tried to trick you boys back in Opar I could see it in her eyes, she was crafty, tricky and willing to do whatever it took to get what she wanted. In a way, when I saw her I saw myself before you found me and I became a part of all this." Amora said.
"Really?" Roxas asks surprised.
"Back in Asgard things were very different for me, believe it or not I tried to use a similar thing on Loki. That's how I knew La was tricking you, I was a desperate as she was, throwing myself at any man who gave me the slightest bit of attention." Amora sighs.
Roxas looks at her downed expression and puts a hand on her shoulder surprising her. "But you're not that person, you're with us not to mention you're a great magic teacher." Roxas said causing Amora to blush softly.
"Ever since I left Asgard it's been one wild adventure after another, but honestly I can't say once that I regret this choice. I love you Roxas and I love being a part of all this." Amora said, this time Roxas was the one blushing.
"Well I uh I don't think I did that much." Roxas said rubbing the back of his head nervously.
Amora giggles as she leans in and kisses Roxas on the lips surprising him.
"Hey Roxas where—" Lea stops when he notices Roxas and Amora kissing and chuckles shaking his head. "You my friend have some serious heart issues to work out."
Little did they know from the top of a nearby tree La was observing them, as she saw how happy they were and how much fun they were having, deep down she couldn't help but feel a touch of envy inside and she knew what her choice had to be.
The next morning they were about to take off and leave Deep Jungle and Lea was standing outside the Tempest waiting to see if she would show up.
Letting out a sigh Lea leans against the Tempest. "Guess she's not coming after all. Man I really do have a habit of picking up stray puppies." Lea said.
"Lea, we better get going." Roxas said walking down to get him.
"Yeah I'll be there in a minute." Lea said about to turn around and leave when they heard rustling in the forest. Turning around they saw La emerge from the trees and walk up to Lea. "Your mind's made up?"
"There's nothing left for me here and I don't know what is in store for me, but if you're that willing to help me, then I guess my chances are better if I go with you." La said as Lea nods.
"Even so, I work in the shadows so if you're gonna travel with me you're gonna have to learn how I do things. Got it memorized?" Lea asks doing his signature pose.
La nods understanding.
"Good first thing's first, you're gonna need one of these." Lea snaps his fingers and an Assassin nobody appears with an Organization XIII coat in its arms. "It's one of my extras from when I was in the Organization, put this on." Lea said handing it to her.
Looking at it with a weird expression La looks to him. "Remember this is how I do things." Lea smirks.
A soft smile appears on La's face as she put on the coat.
"Do you really have to go?" Roxas asks as he, Xion and Namine walk over.
"We were having a good time hanging out." Xion said.
Lea smirks as he walks over to his friends. "Sorry guys, but if this lady is gonna learn anything about how to be like us she's gonna need some help. I'm taking her to Yen Sid and then to Merlin for some help, don't worry I can handle her."
"We know you can Lea. Just don't be gone too long." Namine said.
"Keep the fight going." Lea smiles as he opens a dark door. "Alright La, let's get going."
"Right." La nods following him. "Uh Lea." She said getting his attention. "Thank you…for giving me this chance." La smiles.
"Don't thank me yet, hope you're tough leopard lady because I don't pull any punches." Lea smirks.
"Trust me I am." La smirks as they walked through the portal together. I guess in a way Maleficent's spell did lead her to a man, just not in the way she expected.
Meanwhile in a dark area Maleficient was watching Lea and Roxas go their separate ways.
"Hmm it seems that this little group of heroes is proving to be just as much a nuisance as Sora and Riku are. I had hopes for La, but I guess if you want to do something right, you have to do it yourself." She said creating a green portal and walked through it.
Surprise! I bet none of you saw that coming.
Hey even someone like Lea deserves someone in his life.
Here's a hint for the next world: In the South land there's a city way down on the river, where all the women are very pretty and all the men deliver.
