All right, then. Continuing on with the story, here's the world of Tarzan, the Deep Jungle. In this I'll work my OC into this as best I can, but I still mostly just follow through with the way it happened. But I hope you like it anyway. Moving on.


Flying through interspace, after leaving Wonderland, the gummi ship stopped in front of what looked like a jungle world.

"Hey, Donald. Maybe King Mickey's down there," Goofy suggested.

"In a backwater place like that? No way!" Donald squawked. "Let's move on."

"Hold on. Riku and Kairi might be down there," Sora piped up. "Let's just check it out."

"Forget it! We're on an important mission!" Donald said.

"How do we know what we'll find and what we don't if we don't check it out?" Jim chimed in.

"Yeah. Just land!" Sora exclaimed.

"No!" Donald refused.

"Come on!" Sora said agitated.

"Aw, phooey!" Donald brushed him off and proceeded to move on to the next world.

"We're landing!" Sora demanded and started messing around with a bunch of the controls.

"Careful, Sora! You don't know how this ship works!" Jim exclaimed.

"Don't touch that! Nooo!" Donald screamed as the ship hurdled towards the world.


On the world, there was a giant tree where a large and what seemed to be a very old treehouse sat. It was overtaken by the greenery of the wilderness, and Sora and Jim fell from the sky and crashed through the roof of the treehouse.

"Ow," Jim said in a rather calm tone. "Are you all right?"

"Yeah. Oh, my head," Sora groaned. "Donald? Goofy?"

"They're not here. When the ship began its crash-landing descent, we were all ejected. They must be somewhere else on this world."

Suddenly they heard the wooden floor creak, and the two turned around to see a fierce leopard, which pounced at them almost immediately.

Both Jim and Sora drew their weapons as the leopard landed, and swiped her claws at them, causing them both to fall back.

The leopard let out a ferocious roar, and the two allies prepared to fight it, as it was the only means of surviving.

Fighting the leopard, she jumped from one part of the treehouse to the next, swiping her claws at them and evading their attacks. While Jim and Sora were able to fend her off for a good while, they soon became exhausted from fighting, as they knocked the leopard down, and she just lay there.

Sora slowly approached the leopard.

"Careful, Sora," Jim said.

The leopard then got back to her feet and prepared to continue her attack on the two. As she prepared to pounce once more, someone else came into the treehouse. A human man, with long dark brown hair and blue eyes, wearing nothing but a brown loincloth and wielding a long spear. He jumped down and stopped the leopard in her tracks, keeping her back with his spear. After fending it off, the man stared down the leopard, and the fierce beast ran off and jumped through the treehouse window.

The strange man then turned towards Jim and Sora, who were recovering.

"Sabor, danger," the man spoke.

"Um...thank you," Sora replied.

"Thank you," the man responded as if he didn't understand what Sora was saying.

"Huh? Uh, what is this place?" Sora asked again.

"This place, this place," said the man.

"Guess he's not very fluent in English," Jim suggested.

"Okay," Sora puzzled. "Where did the others go? Look, we got separated from our friends. Have you seen them?"

The strange man didn't even respond.

"Friends..." Sora spoke slowly and more clearly.

"Friends!" the man responded.

"Right, our friends!" Sora said excitedly. "There's two of them. The loud one is Dona-" He stopped and realized something else.

"Something wrong, Sora?" Jim asked.

"Well, we know Donald and Goofy are here somewhere. So, maybe he can help me find my friends."

"Worth a shot. Ask him."

Sora turned back to the man. "You know what? Never mind. I'm looking for my friends, Riku and Kairi."

"Look for Riku, friends?" the man responded.

"Right!" Sora replied and looked behind the man and saw Kairi standing right behind him.

"Kairi, friends?" the man asked again.

"Uh, right," Sora said as Kairi walked off and vanished.

"Friends here," said the man.

"Really?!" Sora said excitedly once more.

"*&&X%." the man spoke something neither of them they could understand.

"What?" Jim said confused at that word.

"*&&X%. Friends here."

"Not sure I understand but show me! Take us to Riku and Kairi!"

"Tarzan. Tarzan go."

"And I'm Sora. This is Jim. Tarzan go, Sora, Jim go, go!"

Following the strange man now known as Tarzan outside the doors of the treehouse, walking like a gorilla. Outside they had a view of the world, which was all one big jungle as far as the eye could see.


Elsewhere in the jungle, Donald and Goofy had awaken to find themselves in a clearing of bamboo trees.

"Gawrsh, where are we?" Goofy asked. "I sure hope Jim and Sora are okay."

Donald got up in a huff. "Aw, who needs them?! We can find the king without them." He reached down to grab his staff but instead touched something furry.

He looked down to what it was, and found himself face to face with Tarzan's gorilla friend Terk. Both the duck and ape screamed at the sight of each other.

Then they all heard something coming from the forest, and Terk ran off, dropping a gummi block in the process, which caught the attention of Donald and Goofy.

And then they turned to see a man with a flat short black hairdo and short mustache, wearing a yellow vest, a red handkerchief around his neck and tan colored pants with a double barrel rifle come out of the forest.


Back up in the treehouse, Sora and Jim had followed Tarzan down the trees and into a tunnel, where a log with a large opening sat. Going down that hole, they found themselves sliding on a long tree trunk through the trees, with many twists and turns, until finally they landed at a campsite with a large yellow tent, a long table with a chemistry set, many crates, books and other human belongings scattered all over the area.

The trio went into the tent, and inside was a woman with blue eyes, long dark brown hair, wearing a white top and red gown was setting up a slide projector.

"Jane," Tarzan announced himself.

She turned around to face them. "Tarzan. Oh, and who's this?" Jane asked both Jim and Sora.

"Uh, hi there. I'm..." Sora began, only for Jane to cut him off.

"Oh. You speak English! So, then, obviously, you're not related to Tarzan."

"No. We just barely met him," Jim replied.

"Are you here to study the gorillas?" Jane asked.

"Highly doubtful."

Everyone turned to see the hunter from before walk into the tent, with Donald and Goofy behind him.

"Jim! Sora!" Goofy said excitedly.

"Aren't you two a sight for sore eyes," Jim said cracking a small grin.

"Goofy! Donald!" Sora exclaimed happily as he and Donald walked over to one another and took each other's hands. But at the sight of each other, both Sora and Donald turned away from each other in a huff.

"Guess they're still angry at each other over what happened on the ship," Jim said to Goofy, who nodded in response.

"A circus of clowns," said the hunter as he exited the tent. "Not much use for hunting gorillas."

"Mr. Clayton, we're studying them, not hunting them. This is research," Jane said in annoyance. She then turned to their guests. "Well, the more the merrier. Do make yourselves at home."

"You'll have to excuse them," Jim said gesturing to Sora and Donald. "They had a bit of an argument before we got here, and they're not entirely ready to make up yet."

"Well, anyway..." Sora began.

"I'm staying." Both Donald and Sora said in unison

"Huh?" Sora turned to Donald confused.

"Sora, Jim, look what we found. Look at this," Goofy held out the gummi block they'd found.

"Where did you find that?" Jim asked.

"In the forest nearby," Donald replied.

"What's that?" Sora asked.

"A gummi block. It's the same stuff used to build our ship," Goofy responded.

"So, that means..." Sora began.

"The king could be here," said Donald. "So, we've gotta work together to look for him. For now."

"Fine. I'll let you tag along," Sora replied. "For now."

After deciding to stick together, and put their differences aside, with their new ally Tarzan they decided to search around for the king and Sora's friends. They went out of the tent and checked every area they could. Searching the bamboo grove and the cliff areas, they were attacked by Sabor again, but they'd encountered no Heartless, and there was also no sign of the king, Riku or Kairi.

Returning to the tent, they decided to see if Jane could be of assistance.

"Apparently Tarzan was raised in the jungle by gorillas," Jane explained. "Communicating with him still isn't easy, but he's learning."

"So, he was speaking gorilla back there," Sora realized.

"That explains why we couldn't really understand him," Jim responded.

"Ah, that's right. You're looking for your friends?" Jane asked.

"He said Riku and Kairi are here. And one word I couldn't understand."

"Why don't we try this?" Jane turned to the slide projector. "We'll show Tarzan some slides and see if any of them match that word." But as she was about to start it up, she noticed the slides were gone. "Oh, what happened to the slides?"

Going back outside of the tent, the five allies had found the slides scattered across the campsite and brought them back to Jane. Once she had them, she started the slide projector. The first image was a large castle, which Jim and Sora both stared at.

"What's wrong, you two?" Goofy asked.

"What? Um, nothing," Sora brushed them off.

"Nothing whatsoever," Jim said as well.

"That place. It just looks so familiar. But how? I've never been off my island." Sora thought to himself.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Jim was in deep thought as well. "So, bizarre. That castle reminds me so much of our old hometown. Didn't realize how much I miss that place till now."

Jane continued going through the slide images, which were a man giving a lady a bouquet of flowers, a woman holding a baby, a gorilla, a ship at sea and two men fencing. But none of them seemed to match the word Tarzan spoke.

"Well, Tarzan?" Jane asked.

"Where are my friends, Riku and Kairi?" Sora asked as well.

Tarzan however just turned away and shook his head.

"Hey, I thought-" Sora said.

"That leaves just one place," Clayton said entering the tent. "Young man, we've been in this jungle for some time now. But we have yet to encounter these friends of yours. I'd wager they're with the gorillas. But Tarzan refuses to take us to them."

"Really, Mr. Clayton," Jane began. "Tarzan wouldn't hide-"

"Then take us there!" Clayton turned to the ape man. "Take us to the gorillas. Go-ril-las!" He enunciated.

Tarzan turned towards Sora, who had a look of hopefulness, and he nodded in response.

"Tarzan, are you sure?" Jane asked.

"Tarzan, go see Kerchak," Tarzan said.

"Kerchak?" Jane said.

"He must be the leader. Perfect," said Clayton. "I'll go along as an escort. After all, the jungle is a dangerous place." Clayton then gave a sly grin.

Following Tarzan, they made their way to the hippo's lagoon and climbed up a long vine, to an area of vines in the trees, where Kerchak, the leader of the gorillas and Kala, Tarzan's mother were.

"Kerchak, please listen to me," Tarzan said to the leader. "I know the nesting grounds are secret, but I trust them. You see, I want to help them because...because well, they need us."

From behind, Sora, Jim, Donald and Goofy all watched, waiting for Tarzan to tell them what was going on, for none of them could understand gorilla.

"Uh, did you get that?" Goofy asked.

"No," Donald replied.

"Not a word," Jim said.

"Kerchak," Tarzan said once more to the gorilla leader, who instead looked upwards and then walked off, with Kala following behind. "Kerchak..." Tarzan said in a disappointed tone.

"He seemed sort of distracted by something," Goofy thought to himself.

"Was he looking toward the treehouse?" Donald thought to himself as well.

Deciding to follow them, the five friends climbed a vine of ivy and made their way to the treetops and then back up to the treehouse.

Up in the treehouse, Terk was in the center of the area and was playing with a globe. Unbeknownst to her, a certain hunter was aiming his rifle right at her.

Donald quickly ran up and squawked loudly, scaring Clayton and thankfully making him miss his shot, which had scared Terk off.

"What's the big idea?!" Donald exclaimed angrily.

Tarzan looked up towards Kerchak who had just come into the treehouse as well. "Wait, Kerchak, please!" Tarzan begged, but Kerchak just walked off once more, with Terk following him behind, after giving Tarzan a look of shame.

The five then turned to Clayton angrily.

"What do you think you were doing?" Jim asked sternly.

"You don't understand. I was only trying to..." Clayton tried to think of a lie. "Ah. A snake slithered by you see. I saved that poor gorilla's life."

Tarzan only lowered his head angrily.


After what had just happened, they made their way back to the camp and told Jane what had happened.

"How could you do such a thing?!" Jane exclaimed.

"Now, Miss Porter, as I told you, I was not aiming at the gorilla," Clayton defended, but Jane wasn't buying it.

"You are not to go near the gorillas again!"

"All because of one mishap? Come, now," Clayton chuckled, but with everyone in the tent shooting him an angry glare, he walked out of the tent with a snarl. "What am I doing with these imbeciles? Blasted gorillas! I'll hunt down every last one of them! I'll track them down somehow. I'll stake my life on it." He pulled out his pipe, but before he could take a smoke, something moving in the bamboo trees got his attention.

He readied his rifle and then fired a shot, which caught the attention of the others inside the tent.

Quickly going outside of the tent, they saw a gorilla surrounded by a small pack of orange and brown monkey Heartless called Powerwilds.

"Heartless!" Sora exclaimed.

They quickly made their way to fight off the Heartless, which had started slashing with their claws and used sliding dash attacks and retreated from the attacks from their enemies by leaping backwards. But together the five allies were able to beat back these Heartless and save the gorilla in danger. And in return the gorilla gave them a protection gummi.

They went back into the tent, where Jane had explained that there could also be more gorillas in danger in other areas.

Making their way back out and to the bamboo grove, there was yet another gorilla surrounded by Powerwilds. Taking action, the five friends quickly took on the Heartless once more and saved the gorilla, which had given them a fire gummi.

Continuing onward, they went to the cliff area where more Powerwilds had another gorilla surrounded. Once clearing them away, this gorilla had given them am aeroga gummi.

Once the gorilla was safe, they went back through the bamboo forest and back to the camp, fighting more heartless along the way. They then made their way back through hippo's lagoon and up to the climbing trees, where yet another gorilla was in danger of falling victim to the Heartless. Knowing what they had to do, the allies all fought the Heartless, saving the gorilla and earning another aeroga gummi in return.

They went up to the treehouse, finding one final gorilla surrounded by the Powerwilds swarming the place. But just like before, they fought and cleared away each and every one of them and had been given a shell gummi from the gorilla.

Having checked every place to find where gorillas were in danger, they returned to the tent to inform Jane.

"I do hope Mr. Clayton is safe," Jane said in a worried tone.

The five exited the tent, and no sooner afterwards was a gunshot heard coming from the bamboo grove. Quickly making their way back there, they saw no sign of Clayton or any Heartless for that matter. Sora approached the rock in the middle of the grove, finding Clayton's pipe.

Before anyone could say anything about it though, a shadow jumped over and they looked to see the ferocious leopard Sabor. As the leopard attacked, the five allies had worked to fight off the fierce beast. Sabor leapt back and forth, dodging attacks and even leapt through the bamboo trees trying to sneak attack them. After a tough battle, Sabor fell to the ground and one of her fangs had fallen out, turning into a ring with a fang shaped gem.


Back at the camp, Terk had run through the area past a group of Powerwild Heartless, and into the tent where she had pile driven Jane into the ground.

Jane had recovered and brushed her hand through the young gorilla's fur, but then someone else entered the tent, and Jane looked on in horror as she held Terk close.

At the bamboo grove, the five had made their way back to the tent, to find that Jane was missing.

"Hey, where's Jane?" Sora asked.

"What's wrong, Tarzan?" Goofy asked the ape man, who stood there in silence.

"Something coming," Tarzan spoke. "Jane, danger. Jane near...near treehouse."

"Sounds like trouble," Donald suggested. "Let's go."

"He must sense that something isn't right," Jim said. "Lead the way then, Tarzan."

Quickly making their way out of the tent, they went through hippo's lagoon and up to the vines, then up to the climbing trees where Jane and Terk were trapped at the pathway to the treehouse by a wall of vines.

"Tarzan!" Jane yelled.

The five friends then noticed a big black fruit growing on the tree in the center of the area.

"That's not natural," Jim said looking to the fruit. "Let's see if destroying that black fruit will free them."

The five friends then made their way towards it, as Powerwild Heartless appeared all over. While Jim, Donald, Goofy and Tarzan all took on the Heartless, Sora focused his attention on the giant fruit. After striking it enough times, the fruit exploded into black mist, which freed Terk and Jane. Afterwards, they approached the two, to find out what happened.

"So, what happened?" Jim asked. "How'd you end up here?"

"Clayton came to the tent, and..." Jane tried to remember what else happened. "That's the last thing I remember."

"Clayton?" Sora exclaimed.

"Gorillas trapped. Terk ran," Tarzan spoke.

"We must help the gorillas!" Jane said frantically.

"They must be over at the cliff," Jim suggested.

Once more, the five friends made their way back down to the camp and quickly headed for the cliff, fighting off any Heartless that got in their way.


At the cliff, the whole family of gorillas were backed up against the wall by Clayton and a group of Powerwilds. The hunter then aimed his rifle right at Kala, and before Kerchak could do anything, he found himself stopped and restrained by the Powerwilds.

Just before Clayton could pull the trigger though, the five had come just in time.

"NO!" Sora exclaimed and Calyton looked towards them, allowing the gorillas to escape.

"Clayton?" Sora said in disbelief.

"Not Clayton!" Tarzan said as well. "*&&X%! Not Clayton!"

And so, a new battle began, Clayton commanded the Heartless to attack them, and he even tried shooting them as well. Once the Heartless were all defeated, Clayton, backed up against the wall aimed his rifle at them. But he then pointed it upwards, and then something crashed through and destroyed the wall. When the dust settled however, nothing was in sight.

Tarzan glared and ran towards Clayton, only to get knocked back by whatever had broken through the wall. Clayton mounted the invisible creature and then a barrier sealed off the pathway out, leaving no way to escape.

The battle resumed with Clayton now riding the back of an invisible foe, shooting at them and as the battle raged on, they managed to knock Clayton off of it and the creature was revealed to be a giant, bright green chameleon Heartless called Stealth Sneak. This new Heartless attacked by charging towards them, swiping its tail and even shooting lasers from its eyes.

Nearing the end, Clayton aimed his rifle at his enemies, ready to fire, until he heard the Stealth Sneak groan. He turned towards it and saw that it was defeated and was about to disappear, but not before it collapsed and crushed him. They looked on, and saw the giant Heartless vanish, with a heart leaving its body and floating upwards.

Jim then approached Clayton, whose body had begun to sink into the darkness. "Won't be seeing him again."

With the battle at an end, the group had learned a new spell, healing magic. And then the gorillas returned to the area, where Kerchak had approached Sora. He grabbed the young boy and tossed him high in the air, where he landed at the edge of the cliff. Soon afterwards, Jim, Donald and Goofy were also thrown up there as well.

"Guess that's his way of thanking us," Jim said getting to his feet.

Tarzan climbed up to the cliffside and looked back down to his family, who took their leave.

Everyone had gone to the end of the cliffside and in sight was a cavern with waterfalls, and a river that ran through the jungle.

"Tarzan, home," said the ape man.

Making their way into the caverns behind the waterfalls, the group had made their way through and had found themselves in another cavern, where the base of a tree sat, and something covered in many blue butterflies glowed brightly.

They were soon joined by Terk and Jane, who had come in as well.

"*&&X%." Tarzan spoke once more.

"This is your home?" Sora asked. "But that means..."

Tarzan stopped him and put a hand to his hear, and they all listened to the sound of the waterfalls.

"The waterfalls. They're echoing all the way hear," Jane said.

"*&&X%." Tarzan said again. "Friends there. See friends."

"Oh, now I've got it," Jane said. "*&&X% means heart. Friends in our hearts."

"Heart," said Tarzan

"Oh, so that's what it meant," Sora realized.

"Friends, same heart. Clayton, lose heart," Tarzan continued. "No heart, no see friends. No heart, no friends."

"Clayton had given into the dark power the Heartless tempted him with, and he opened his heart to the darkness," Jim said. "In the end, it consumed him."

Sora and Donald then looked to one another.

"Sorry about what I said," Sora apologized.

"I'm sorry, too," Donald did as well.

"Yeah. All for one, huh?" Goofy said hugging them both.

Sora then approached the base of the tree, where the bright light dimmed, and the butterflies all flew away to reveal the source of the light.

"Another keyhole," Jim stepped forward. "You know what to do, Sora."

Sora nodded and pulled out the Keyblade. Then just like in Wonderland, a beam of light shot out of the Keyblade and had sealed the keyhole. And then another strange gummi block dropped out onto the ground.

"A gummi," said Donald.

"But it's sure not the king's," Goofy chimed in.

Jim knelt down and picked it up. "Looks just like the one we found in Wonderland."

Terk had then come from behind and nudged Donald.

"I think someone has a new admirer," Jane said.

Donald shook his hands frantically. "No, no, no, no! Daisy would kill me!" He exclaimed, earning a giggle from his three friends.


Back at the world where the villains resided, they were discussing the recent events.

"What drew the Heartless to that world?" one of the men asked.

"The hunter lured them there," Maleficent explained. "It was his lust for power that was the bait. But it seems the bait was too tasty for his own good."

Another let out a chuckle. "Yeah. He got chomped instead!"

The first who spoke stepped out of the shadows, and revealed to be a man named Jafar, wearing a black robe and a red cape, as well as a black turban hat and wielding a long golden snake staff. "A weak-hearted fool like him stood no chance against the Heartless. But the boy is a problem. He found one of the keyholes."

"Fear not. It will take him ages to find the rest," Maleficent said and, on the table, appeared an image of the 4 travelers. "Besides, he remains blissfully unaware of our other plan."

"Yes, the princesses."

"They are falling into our hands, one by one." Maleficent said once more and then she turned around to see the missing young girl from Wonderland. "Speaking of which."

Alice could only look around, completely terrified and oblivious to where she was and what was going on.


Back in the Deep Jungle, they all returned to the tent, and Sora and the group readied to make their leave.

"Well, guess we'd better get going," Sora said

"Where is your ship anyway?" Jane asked.

"Well, uh not too far," Sora replied.

"Sora, Tarzan, friends," the ape man spoke and gave Sora a keychain with a purple butterfly token.

By attaching this new chain to the Keyblade, it completely changed its appearance to a form called Jungle King. This new form of the Keyblade had a wooden rounded handle with two spikes at both ends of the top of the handle, and the blade part of the Keyblade now had five bone shaped teeth. Along with this new upgrade to the Keyblade, the 4 friends had also learned to unseal red trinity marks.


After locating the gummi ship, they left the world to continue their quest.

"The gummi block came out of that glowing hole. It's not like the others. Wonder what it's used for," Sora puzzled.

"I dunno," Donald replied.

"Cid should know," Jim chimed in. "He's a gummi expert."

"Back to Traverse Town, then?" Donald said.

"I wanna be pilot!" Sora said.

"Hey, stop it!" Donald exclaimed.

"Oh, come on! I'm the Keyblade master!"

"I don't care who you are! No!" Donald said.

"Here we go again," Goofy said.

"Don't either of you start this again!" Jim said sternly.


And so, ends this chapter. Seeing as how my last update wasn't for over a month, I figured I may as well make up for it with another chapter. I hope you liked this one. As for Jim, I've been trying to decide who his voice should be, as I've decided to start doing with my story characters but couldn't decide who I wanted that to be. After a bit of deciding I think I know whose voice I envision. Even though he doesn't act anymore, I'm thinking Mike Vitar. I like the Sandlot so yeah, he seems like a good voice. Until next time, please read, review and enjoy.
