Okay, viewers here's the new one. Here is where Jiminy is reunited with Pinocchio when they're swallowed up by Monstro on their way to another world. This one might be a little short seeing as how they chase both Pinocchio and Riku through Monstro's chambers and end up fighting a Heartless, but I hope you like it anyway.
On its way to another world, the travelers stopped the ship at the sight of something blue and quite massive.
"What is that?" Donald said in shock.
"Wow, it's huge!" Sora exclaimed.
The object then flew passed them, revealing it to be a whale.
"It's a giant whale!" Goofy said.
"That's the biggest whale I've ever seen," Jim said as well.
"It's Monstro!" Jiminy exclaimed. "He's a whale of a whale, and vicious besides!"
"He's coming back!" Jim said as Monstro turned around and was once more in front of the ship.
"Whoa! Sora, get us out of here!" Donald squawked.
But then Monstro swam right towards them, opening his jaws.
"Too late! He's going to swallow us!" Sora yelled.
"Brace yourselves!" Jim exclaimed as the giant whale swallowed the ship whole, causing everyone to black out.
On the Destiny Islands, Sora and Riku 10 years younger were making their way down to the secret place.
"It's true! I saw it with my own eyes!" Sora said in shock.
"You sure you didn't just hear it this time?" Riku asked.
"What difference does it make?" Sora replied. "There's a huge monster in there, I tell you!"
"All right. Suppose there really is a monster, think we can beat it by ourselves, Sora?" Riku asked as they stood right outside of the secret place.
"No problem. Let's do it!" Sora said brightly.
Then they heard what sounded like a growling sound coming from inside the cavern.
"Listen there! Can you hear it growling?" Sora said.
"Shh, quiet," Riku said, and they went in. "We've gotta be careful."
But once they made their way inside, they had found no monster in sight and quickly realized that the sound they heard was caused by the wind echoing in the cave.
"See that? It was just the wind making that noise," Riku said.
"Aw, man," Sora said in disappointment. "I wish it was a monster!"
"Hold on! What's that over there?" Sora said looking to the door on the wall.
Riku went over to the door, trying to get it open. "A window, or maybe a door? It won't open."
"Geez, is that really all that's in here?" Sora said.
"What do you expect in a boring place like this?" Riku replied and he got an idea. "Hey, Sora."
"Hmm?"
"When we grow up, let's get off this island," Riku said. "We'll go on real adventures, not this kid stuff!"
"Sure. But isn't there anything fun to do now?" Sora asked as they made their way to the exit. "Hey, you know the new girl at the mayor's house? Did you hear?"
In the mouth of Monstro, Donald and Goofy looked up to one of the many tall structures of broken wood, Goofy shielding their heads with his shield, while Jim loomed over Sora, trying to wake him up.
"Knock it off!" Donald yelled upwards.
"Come on, Sora, wake up!" Jim said patting him lightly on the face, and he finally regained consciousness.
"Hey, Sora. Are you okay?" Goofy asked.
"What are you guys doing?" Sora asked.
"Someone's dropping stuff from up there," Jim replied.
"Where are we, anyway?" Sora asked again.
And then another item dropped, just barely missing Sora.
"Uh, ya know, I think that big old whale Monstro just swallowed us," Goofy said.
"Yeah, he swallowed us, then you blacked out," Jim said to the young boy.
"And for today's weather, expect showers," Goofy said and another item hit his shield. "Heavy showers!"
"Who is dropping these items?" Jim said irritated.
"Hey! Who's there?" Donald called up to whoever was dropping the items.
"It's me," said a small wooden boy.
"Oh, it's just Pinocchio," Donald said relieved. "Pinocchio?!"
"Pinocchio?" Jiminy said jumping onto Sora's shoulder, to see that it was indeed him.
Pinocchio pulled a large green gummi block out of the treasure chest and walked off with it.
"Pinoke, where you going? Pinoke!" Jiminy called out to the wooden boy. "Come on everybody! After him! Quick!"
Following Pinocchio, the four friends swam through the water in Monstro's mouth and made their way to an old ship.
"What have you got there, Pinocchio?" asked an old man named Geppetto, who was both Pinocchio's maker and his father.
"With this, we can get out of here, Father."
"Really? With this big block? You think so?" Geppetto said in surprise.
"It's true," Sora spoke up, getting their attention. "So, how did you end up here, Pinocchio?"
"Oh, my. So, the whale swallowed all of you, too?" Geppetto said and approached the four. "My goodness."
"Yeah, looks like it," Sora replied.
"My name's James Leonhart, sir," the young man spoke. "This is Sora, Donald and Goofy."
"And my name is Geppetto," the old man introduced. "I'm Pinocchio's father." He gestured to his wooden son. "When we got separated, I traveled all over, looking for him. Thank goodness we're together again."
As his father spoke, Pinocchio looked behind and saw someone else run into a pathway to the whale's chambers.
"So, you seem to know Pinocchio quite well," Geppetto said picking up the gummi block. "I hope we was a good boy in my absence. Well, we've all had quite a journey. Right, Pinocchio?" He asked, only to see his son had made his way into Monstro's chambers. "Pinocchio?"
Knowing it could be dangerous the four friends followed the little wooden boy before something happened to him and made their way into Monstro's chambers.
In the chambers, the walls, ceiling and floor were all purple and squishy, with Monstro's veins and organs pulsating all over, and there were also several pathways, leading into other chambers.
Upon entering, they found Pinocchio standing in front of one of those pathways.
"What are you doing?" Sora asked the wooden boy. "Come on, let's go back."
"You know, Geppetto's awfully worried about you," Goofy chimed in.
"Come on, Pinocchio, it could be dangerous. There's no telling what could be lurking here," Jim said.
"Pinocchio, stop fooling around! This is no time for games!" Sora said sternly.
The four then proceeded to return to the mouth but were stopped by another voice.
"But, Sora, I thought you liked games."
Sora turned to see his childhood friend.
"Or are you too cool to play them, now that you have the Keyblade?" Riku asked.
"Riku? What are you doing here?" Sora asked.
"Just playing with Pinocchio."
"You know what I mean! What about Kairi? Did you find her?"
"Maybe. Catch us, and maybe I'll tell you what I know."
"Come on!" Sora said impatiently.
Riku grabbed Pinocchio's hand and quickly ran off, into the next chamber.
Leaving them with no other choice, the four friends continued on, and soon encountered a new type of Heartless called Search Ghosts. These Heartless had orange heads, with yellow eyes, one dangling out of the socket, while the other could be used as a searchlight. They wore purple tunics and had long white tails and sharp claws. They had the ability to teleport from one area to another, making them difficult to defeat, but still proved to be no match for the four friends.
Making their way through several of Monstro's chambers, sometimes even heading back into the same one, but of a different area. Along the way, the four friends had also encountered another new Heartless called Barrel Spiders, which were disguised as ordinary powder barrels. After fighting Heartless through the chambers, the four friends eventually made their way to chamber 4, where Riku had just entered.
"Why do you still care about that boy?" Maleficent appeared in the chamber. "He has all but deserted you for the Keyblade and his new companions, after all."
"I don't care about him," Riku replied. "I was just messing with him a little."
"Oh, really? Of course you were," Maleficent said with a smirk. "Beware the darkness in your heart. The Heartless pray upon it.'
"Mind your own business," Riku told the evil fairy, who walked through a dark portal.
Still chasing after Pinocchio, the four friends chased after the wooden boy, who ran past Riku and into the bowels.
"Riku. What's the matter with you? What are you thinking?" Sora said to his so-called friend. "Don't you realize what you're doing?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing, Sora," said Riku. "You only seem interested in running around and showing off that Keyblade these days. Do you even want to save Kairi?"
"I do," Sora spoke feeling uneasy.
And before anyone could say anything else, Pinocchio's scream could be heard coming from the bowels
No sooner afterwards, did all five of them run into the chamber, and had seen that Pinocchio had been swallowed up by a giant Heartless called Parasite Cage.
This Heartless was bright orange blob with yellow eyes and a big, jagged mouth that held Pinocchio captive, hence the name Parasite Cage, while above it had a secondary face on its head, with long green tentacle arms that had three fingers and spikes on each one.
The five had all readied their weapons to fight this new enemy and save Pinocchio.
"You up for this?" Riku asked Sora.
Sora took his regular stance. "No problem. Let's do it."
With that said, they all spread out and started to fight the Parasite Cage, while Pinocchio could only cry out for rescue as the Heartless swung its tentacle arms at them.
After a tough battle, the Parasite Cage had taken enough damage and climbed up on the ceiling to leave, but not before spitting Pinocchio out, sending the wooden boy down a hole in the center of the chamber, and Riku quickly jumped after him.
Following after them both, Sora and friends also jumped down the hole, which took them back to the mouth, where the water level had lowered, probably caused by their battle with the Heartless.
The four landed back on the ship, where they were met with Geppetto, looking up to the top of one of the wooden structures, where Riku stood holding an unconscious Pinocchio.
"Pinocchio! Pinocchio! Please, give me back my son!" Geppetto begged.
"Sorry, old man, I have some unfinished business with this puppet," Riku declared.
"He's no puppet! Pinocchio is my little boy!"
"He is unusual. Not many puppets have hearts. I'm not sure, but maybe he can help someone who's lost theirs."
"Wait a minute. Are you talking about Kairi?" Sora asked.
"What do you care about her?" Riku replied and walked off with Pinocchio, heading into the pathway above Monstro's chambers.
The four friends turned to a now distraught Geppetto.
"I meant to save this chest for later, but please use it to find Pinocchio," Geppetto begged and turned to a chest sitting on the ship deck.
Sora approached the chest and opened it up, giving the party a high jump ability.
Using this new ability, they used it to reach the tops of the wooden structures, finding numerous treasure chests, one of which contained a new summon gem, that was blue with the design of a wave of water called a Watergleam.
Afterwards, the four friends followed Riku into the pathway, that led to Monstro's throat. Jumping from the platforms that resided on the walls, they made their way up higher, into his stomach, where Riku was with Pinocchio.
"Hey, let Pinocchio go, Riku!" Sora said.
"A puppet that's lost its heart to the Heartless, maybe it holds the key to helping Kairi," Riku said gesturing to the little wooden boy. "How about it, Sora? Let's join forces to save her. We can do it together." He said approaching Sora, but the young boy responded by taking a stance, wielding the Keyblade. "What? You'd rather fight me? Over a puppet that has no heart."
"Heart or no heart, at least he still has a conscience."
"Conscience?" Riku questioned.
As the two former friends conversated, Jiminy quickly made his way over to Pinocchio.
"You might not hear it, but right now it's loud and clear. And it's telling me you're on the wrong side!"
"Then you leave me no choice," Riku readied to fight.
"Pinocchio! Pinocchio!" Jiminy worriedly approached his close friend.
"Jiminy," Pinnochio said weakly. "I'm not gonna make it."
And then, to both their surprises Pinocchio's nose grew.
"Oh! I guess I'm okay!" Pinocchio said and Jiminy jumped up and down in joy.
Riku turned towards the wooden boy and looked down in irritation, knowing Pinocchio was useless to him now. But then he looked up and saw the Parasite Cage drop down from the ceiling.
Knowing there was nothing more to do here, Riku opened a dark portal and vanished through it.
Pinocchio quickly ran, as not to get swallowed up again, while the four friends readied their weapons to fight this Heartless once more.
As the battle began, the Parasite Cage Heartless attacked by jumping and snapping its jaws at them, as well as using Monstro's stomach acids to poison them, but together they were able to defeat, and this time destroy the Heartless, causing it to collapse and start to cause Monstro's stomach acids to explode as it vanished.
"This battle is starting to shake up the place!" Jim exclaimed.
"Run!" Donald yelled.
"Back to the ship! Hurry!" Jim urged.
"Riku!" Sora called out for his missing friend. "Riku, where are you?"
Realizing that he was no longer there, Sora quickly rushed to get back to the ship, and defeating Parasite Cage had also granted them a new spell: Stop.
On board a ship in a different world, Riku loomed over Kairi who laid unconscious on the couch.
"So, Kairi's like a lifeless puppet now?" Riku said distraught.
"Precisely," Maleficent responded.
"And her heart was..."
"Taken by the Heartless, no doubt."
Riku turned to face the evil fairy, desperate to get Kairi her heart back. "Tell me! What can I do?"
"There are seven maidens of the purest heart. We call them the princesses of heart. Gather them together, and a door will open to the heart of all worlds. Within lies untold wisdom. There you will surely find a way to recover Kairi's heart." Maleficent explained. "Now, I'll grant you a marvelous gift. The power to control the Heartless." Maleficent then raised her scepter, which bestowed new dark powers upon Riku, causing his body to glow with a green aura.
With this new power, Riku now had only one thing on his mind: Recovering his close friend's heart. "Soon, Kairi. Soon." He said looking to the girl with no heart.
In interspace, the ruckus that the four friends' battle had caused, had made Monstro let out a sneeze which blew the gummi ship out of him.
"Am I glad to be out of there," Jim said in a relieved tone.
"I sure hope Pinocchio and Geppetto are okay," Goofy said worriedly.
"Yeah, hopefully they landed safely somewhere," Donald replied.
"Riku..." Sora said worriedly as well.
"He wasn't in there when we were fighting the Heartless, so he must have found his own way out, Sora," Jim spoke up.
After having escaped from Monstro, the four friends had returned to Traverse Town to give Fairy Godmother the summon gem they'd found, but as they entered the First District, they'd soon seen that a new house had resided right next to the accessory shop. Entering the house, they were met once again with Geppetto and Pinocchio.
"Pinocchio?" Sora said in surprise.
"Hey, it's Sora!" Pinocchio said excitedly.
"Well, hello, Sora!" Geppetto greeted them.
"How did you get here?" Sora asked.
"A man named Leon helped us. He even got us this house to live in," Geppetto explained. "I don't know how I'll ever repay his kindness. Say, I hear you four are fighting the Heartless. I thought I might be able to help you, so I made this."
Geppetto then gave them a new gummi ship design called Geppetto.
"For us?" Sora said.
"But of course! Pinocchio and I can't thank you enough! We'll do anything we can to help you."
Before they departed, Sora looked to see a treasure chest in the corner of the room, and opened it up, finding a new keychain for the Keyblade, turning it into a new form called Wishing Star. This new form was designed with gears and strings to make up the handle, with the teeth of the key being a gear as well, with a star shaped keychain.
Once all that was done, the friends paid a visit to Merlin's house and approached Fairy Godmother with the new summon gem.
"Oh, another summon gem? Let's help the little one. Here we go," Fairy Godmother said waving her wand. "Bibbity bobbity boo!"
And with that, the four friends were met with the spirit of a circus elephant, named Dumbo who could fly using his big ears.
"If you find any more of these stones, bring them to me," Fairy Godmother said once more.
All that said and done, the four left the world, to move on to the next one.
And that'll do it for this chapter. I apologize for the long delay, but I've been busy. I have a job, so I don't usually have a whole lot of time. Now since I've started this story, I've gotten a lot of private messages from people wanting to offer me opportunities to bring my creations to life, and as flattered as I am that you love my storied and characters, I'm not all too interested in social media or anything like that, so if you have something to say about my story, leave it in a posted review if you'll please. Please read, review and enjoy.
