Chapter 17
After the battle Sora, Donald and Goofy decide to swim to Mako. Sora explains to Goofy and Donald about tonights full moon and secretly wants to see for himself what will happen if he looks at it going against the girls and Lewis's warnings. However when they get there, they stamble upon more Hearltess around the reefs and find a few surprises that await for them.
Goofy: Howdy Sora! Good to see ya!
Sora: Finally your back!
Donald: Its been too long!
Sora: Yes 4 weeks Donald! That's like forever!
Goofy: Ahhh fella's maybe we should think about the situation we are now in particularly with Sora like...like this!
Sora: Oh yeah, i cannot be caught seen like this towards the locals!
Donald: So you've managed to keep your secret hidden all this time?
Sora: Less talk, talk later, now can you two help me before we cause a scene, there is no way i can get dry here, too much water spraying everywhere!
Donald: and how are we going to do that?
Goofy: We could carry ya!
Donald was not too impressed
Donald: Your heavy!
Sora: HEY!
Goofy: Guess his tail is causin the weight!
Sora: Take me over there to that little beach were the upside down boats are!
Donald: Not the water?
Sora: Actually good idea Donald! Then we can head to Mako!
Goofy: Do you think any cilvilians saw us or the battle with the Heartless and Nobodies?
Sora: I was too busy trying to fight to even notice! It always feels like time freezes when we are in battle!
Goofy: Hey it does!
Donald and Goofy take Sora to the river bank and placed him in the water as requested. Donald uses his magic to give himself and Goofy their aquatic forms and began swimming to Mako.
Donald: So what's with the full moon tonight?
Sora: To see if its spell has any effect on me
Goofy: but didn't Emma, Cleo, Rikki and Lewis tell ya that it could be dangerous?
Sora: Its a risk i'm willing to take, it might even lift this curse! I want to see who's with me?
Donald (whispering to Goofy): Is he mad?
Goofy (Whispering to Donald): At least we will be here for him if somethin does happen!
They arrive in the waters of Mako to find it swarming with Heartless!
Sora: That would be right! Can't they just take a rest!
Goofy: It's just like that day we first found the moon pool!
Donald: C'mon guys!
After defeating the Heartless, they came towards the underwater cave that appeared to be blocked off by something.
Donald: What's that thing?
Goofy: Looks like he's not given us access!
Sora: Up until now the entrance to the cave has never been blocked off. I hope the Moon Pool is still safe! Donald, what are you doing?
Donald swims up to what appeared to be a the life-less Starfish Heartless and gives it a prod, it then jiggled and spikes begin to appear! He screams!
Goofy: Think you have made him angry!
Sora: You had to make him angry didn't you! Come on guys let's get rid of this giant starfish!
After a fair fight of tail spinning keyblade, tenticle staff and shell shield action the Starfish Heartless exploded and died clearing the way of the tunnel.
Goofy: That was great guys we really smashed him good!
They swim through the tunnel crashing into Sora who had come to a complete halt halfway.
Sora: Shhhhh! Someone's here!
Goofy: Who Sora?
Sora: Don't know, i suggest no one break the surface, we cannot be seen.
Sora took the lead with Donald and Goofy slowly following and swam to the end of the tunnel to take a better look while all remaining below the surface.
Sora: No no it cannot be! Not her!
Sora turned round and swam passed them back into the tunnel grabbing their tenticles and flippers in the process to drag them with him.
Goofy: Who is it Sora? Are they in the Moon Pool?
Sora (Nervously): No but they are above the surface sitting on a rock.
Donald: Sora, who is it?
Sora (Nervously): Charlotte...and something tells me she is not just here exploring!
Goofy: Should we tell the girls?
Sora: This is not good Goofy! If she touches that water when its activated...
Suddenly bubbles started to form around them and light begans to appear blinding them all. Sora had only just realised that time had passed very quickly.
Sora: OH NO ITS STARTED!
Donald: Does this mean?
Sora: The full moon its...its up!
Goofy: I cannot see a thing!
Donald: Neither can i!
Suddenly a great current began to force them out of the moon cave tunnel.
Donald: Where's a dolphin when you need one?
Sora: If we have find that Charlotte has jumped in the moon pool we're in hot water!
Goofy: What was that? I just felt something go pass!
Donald: Was it a Heartless? I see cannot see!
Sora: I felt it too, lets check the moon pool to see if Charlotte is still there!
All three felt something speed pass them like a torpedo which worried Sora. The current began to die down and Sora, Donald and Goofy swim toward the moon pool. Everything was now calm and quiet, they popped their heads up to the surface to find that the moon had passed over and Charlotte was no where to be seen! Sora's chances of experiencing the full moon tonight was now in the dust, he is going to have to now wait for the next full moon to see what its spell can do.
Authors Note: This chapter is loosly based on season 2's episode "Then There Were Four" where Charlotte becomes the fourth mermaid. Spoilers!
