Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

Well none of this was helpful. "I wear a black coat. He wore a black coat." Karina indicated to Castur. "Lea wore a black coat, Koa wears a black coat, Melus wears a black coat, Luther wears a black coat, Vallus wears a black coat, and so does anyone that spends time in the realm of darkness. So I might know, I might not but a man in a black coat tells me nothing. So I can't tell you much and while not everyone who wears a black coat is bad, if they are here, they probably are." If she had a description maybe she would have an idea, she still doubted it, but there was no way of saying for sure if they knew or didn't know someone if the only information was a generic coat.

"Typically nothing good comes out of someone wearing a black coat." Castur glanced down at his own choice in fashion and, realizing the irony of the statement, made a quick addendum, "but only when that coat also has a hood." He folded his arms and leaned against the wall, allowing Aux to do the hard work mopping since it seemed like he was already in the groove even though he seemed to be struggling with a weird pink stain.

"Anyway Jim, it's Jim right? Anyway...just be careful with that map of yours. I wouldn't carry it around so openly amongst the kind of company you're keeping. That yellow-eyed multi-legged monstrosity looks like someone who wouldn't mind getting his big meaty claws around our necks."

Karina huffed a sigh. "Thanks for making my point again but generalizing it so there was no buts. Great job Castur. How much do you know about those guys anyways, from where I stood it sounded like you were trying to get yourself into trouble." She inquired about his endeavor as mostly a way to fill conversation. They were stuck doing chores after all it was better to at least talk or do something, anything was better than the silence that filled the space. Not that, with Aux struggling to clean the floor there was much silence to be had. He was making a fool of himself, and it really was sad, but it made her feel a bit better about cleaning the dishes, so that was a positive. ​

 

"Captain James Hook to you little one! And should you wish to leave my ship in one piece, you will address me as such!" Hook barked. "As for not going after the treasure, I simply... don't have the time!" Hook folded his arms and looked away.
Smee whispered to the children in hopes of being more reasonable. "You see, Capn doesn't want to go to skull rock because the crocodile that took his hand lives there."
"SMEE!" Hook yelled as his first mate was already giving away his fears. After hearing Faust's request, Hook chuckled once he composed himself again. "My young boy, I swear on my remaining hand, that the contents in that chest are exactly what you need to free you from your curse. And Captain Hook ALWAYS keeps his promise...." Hook said, as he adjusted his hook.

From out of no where, the sound of Hook's voice was heard, but not from Hook himself
"AnD yOU cAN ALWays TrUSt the WOrd of A cODFISH!!"
"Yes, you can always trust the-" Hook spoke, before immediately drawing his sword. "Who said that!"
"Why I dID! I'm CapTAIn JAmeS HooK of The JolLY RogeR!"

As Hook was distracted by Hook, a few small figures in shrouded animal skins, hinted at the keyblade wielders to follow them off the boat and onto a floating rowboat. The group complied as Hook was being kept busy.
"Uhh, Cap'n... the children are-"
"NOT NOW SMEE! Captain Hook will never back down from being mocked! Well, you'll have to try better than that to pull one over on Captain Hook, Pan! If I were you, I'd give up!"
"IF YoU WeRe Me!" Captain Hook's vocal impersonator revealed himself as a young red haired boy with pointed ears, and lime green clothes. He floated in the air as if by magic and stood in front of hook. "-I'd be ugly!" he laughed, using his dagger to prod Hook in his rear.

Pan quickly flew off without another word, laughing along the way.
Humiliated, Hook shook his working hand in a fist. "I'LL GET YOU PETER PAN! IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!"

MISSION START!

The rowboat with the hooded children and keyblade wielders at this point was already to shore as Peter Pan; the flying boy, quickly joined them.
"Ahh more recruits! Good job men!" he told the few hooded kids, who disrobed their disguises.
There was a tall slendy one with a fox hood, a short tubby one with a bear hood, and a medium build one with a monkey hood.
"But where are my manners! We have girl's present after all!" He took off his hat, and gave a bow. "Name's Peter Pan! Leader of the lost boys! That's Slightly, Cubby, and Zidane!!
"Howdy!" Slightly waved.
"Hiya!" Cubby saluted.
"Pleased to meet ya!" Zidane said, taking out his swords. "Let's brawl!"

"Don't worry about those," Pan said in reply to the said. "Zidane's out best fighter against pirates."
"But you saw the way these guys fought! I wanna test me metal!" Zidane chipperly said.
"Time for that later, Z! We've got treasure to find!" Pan ordered. "We've got treasure to find!"

As Peter said this, a small floating light circled around him. Upon closer inspection, it was a tiny fairy. "Oh yeah, and this here is Tinkerbell! Tink is the one who gave us the ability to fly.. Say Hi Tink!"
Tinkerbell, at the sight of Kaida and Ananta, immiately turned red and turned around. "Aww don't be like that, Tink!" He quickly turned to the group and whispered to them. "Sorry, she's the jealous type..."
He folded his arms and sat cross legged in the air. "Well you know about us now, what about you?"

"He! Not even close!" Gilgamesh said, as he laughed at Steel's proposal. "I was approached by a mysterious and shadowy organization who had promised to give me ANY keyblade if I did their bidding with it." His keyblade quickly changed shape several times before vanished. "You must feel so ridiculous..."

After hearing Beuce's words he folded his arms. "Well your words are quite disappointing. I was hoping to maybe joke around, cause some chaos... but it seems you just want to move the plot along. That's all anyone wants to do these days.... And My alegiance with Nequa is to keep me in this game for the long haul baby! Gilgamesh isn't getting put on the bus, no sir! GILGAMESH IS A RECURRING VILLAIN NOW! And he's going to be a thorn in your side! So if you want the plot to advance, you can find your precious princess aboard the flying dutchman!"

He used the sword on his back to tear open another rift as he threw the chest inside. "Let's see what your 'character development' gets you..." he walked through with a more menacing tone as he vanished without a trace.

Jack Sparrow squinted at the spot he fled and back to the group. "You all saw the tall man disappear too, yes? That wasn't just the rum talking?..."
He walked forward and waved his hand around to see if he was still there before putting his sword away. "Right... well all aboard gents. Sooner we get aboard this skipper, sooner we can find our princess. He grabbed the rope tightly from his ship nearby. "Say hello to the Black Pearl..." He said, introducing his ship.

"Mr. Gibb!" He said, calling onto the ship. "Cast off those line!"

"Don't start..." Aux added in reply to Kel's comment about black helmets. "And I will mop this pink blob off the floor so long as it CO-OPERATES!" He said as he started mopping more aggressively through his gritted teeth. As he brushed the mop over the pink blob again, a small giggle was heard, causing Aux to immediately stop.

The small pink blob grew larger as it floated to eye range in it's odd gelatinous form. Just to eyes on a floating pink transparent goop.
"What the hell is that!" Aux said, pushing himself towards the sink.
"WhAt ThE HeLL is THAt!" The gelatinous blob mimicked in a high pitch tone before running away onto the deck.
Jim quickly stood up as the alien creature ran out of the gally.
"That's Morph! He's silver's shapeshifting pet and we aren't supposed to let him out!" Jim raced passed Aux, dumping the discarded peelings onto the ground as he raced out.
Aux threw both mops on the ground in frustration. "I JUST MOPPED THERE!" He yelled, chasing after Jim.

MISSION COMPLETE!

Aux leveled up!
Castur leveled up!
Ignis leveled up!
Karina leveled up!

The rest of the party followed suit as they were now on the suspiciously empty deck. Jim was seen trying to calm down Morph who was for some reason leaning towards the door of Captain Farris' quarters. As Jim quickly caught Morph in his hand, he could hear something coming from her cabin. Muffled cries of anger as the door was being knocked against. Jim put Morph in his pocket and leaned in.
"Captain Farris?" Jim asked, as he quickly opened the door.
Farris fell to the ground, with her mouth gagged, and her arms and legs bound tightly.

Falling to the ground, Jim quickly undid her "Captain? What's going on, why are you-"
"Wretched little low lifes, I'll make sure they all hang!" She said, spitting out her gag. "After everything I did for those welps, they pull a mutiny on me!"
"Mutiny... but why?" Jim asked confused. "What's the point if we're all gonna be rich?"
"I don't know... but they're gonna be cutting heads so they get bigger shares. Bunch of greedy sons of-"
"What about Silver? Is he okay?" Jim asked, in a concerned tone of voice.
Farris remained silent. "I couldn't tell yah kid.." She quickly loosened her straps as she rubbed her wrists. "Scroop and a few others are the ones that blind sided me. All I know is that they were following some guy in a hood. Kept calling himself... Doctor L?"

Aux paused a moment. "Why does that sound familiar?"
"Who cares! Kid, we gotta get off this ship. If they get your map, they can get their treasure, but if we get on the spare dingy, we can escape and think of a game plan."
"Not without Silver!" Jim replied.
"For all we know, he's already dead! They're held in the artillery room with all my weapons. You need to know when to hold and fold em, and right now... WE NEED TO FOLD EM!"
Jim grasped the map tightly in his hand. "Start the ship... I'm gonna do some recon and see if he's still here. If you wanna help, that's your call. But I'm not leaving him behind..."
"At least give me the map then!" Farris ordered.
"Map stays with me.. I'm the only one that knows how to use it." He turned to the group. "If you wanna help help, otherwise, you can wait on the ship with Farris..." He then turned to the Captain. "If I'm not back in 1,000 ticks, leave without me. If things get to hot, I'll destroy the map," he told Farris.

MISSION START

 

[/color ] As they were talking, mopping and not getting anywhere in particular with there conversation, something strange seemed to happen. The blob that was trying to be mopped up turned into a creature that flew away. They chased it run into the captains cabin, where things only got more weird. The captain bound and gagged was on the floor. Jim quickly ungagged her and started talking to her, while Karina kept an eye out for signs of whoever did that. The Captain went on to tell them of a mutiny and the one that was with the crew. Well she got the answer that she was asking before, and that was an answer that she didn't want to hear. Karina shook her head when she heard who the person in black was. "I hope that you are looking forward to seeing a familiar face Kel, because if we catch up with this guy you will." Karina stated. She didn't want to ruin the surprise for him just yet but she could at least warn Kel of what was to come. Karina then looked to the others. "We aren't leaving him to do something stupid are we? Come on lets just get this over with, besides I have an old friend to deal with by the sounds of things."

Tinkerbell turned to Ananta, and despite, her flattery, blew a silent raspberry at her before running behind peter. She pouted with her arms folded in displeasure.
"It's okay, Tink doesn't like any girls," Cubby consoled.
"Yeah, she's just jealous," Slightly chuckled. Tinkerbell immediately took the fox boys tail and wrapped it around his leg, causing the boy to trip. "Owch! I was only joshin!"
Tinkerbell wobbled her head from side to side as if mimicking.

Zidane blinked for a few moments as he turned to the rest of the party. "Does he speak english?" he asked quietly, pointing at Faust.
"What he means is he wants a challenge men! I don't know whats in that chest, but i Hook want it, then it's gotta be worth somethin! And Peter Pan'll never lose to a codfish!"
He thought to himself for a moment before speaking. "Hmmm, way I see it is we can split up to look for the treasure. The pathway to Skull rock goes in four directions. First lost boy..." he paused for a moment. "Or GIRL, gets first dibs on whatever's inside! And if yah want want dibs... you can fight for it? Deal? Good!" He said, without waiting for reply.

"So who will be on what team? Slightly and Cubby count as one, so that means we have to divide into four teams! Who wants to go with who?" Zidane asked.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It's been so long my old companions..." A shrill voice spoke from the top deck.
All heads turned up to find a young man in a black coat. "Some more than others of course..."
"That's the guy that showed me the map!" Jim pointed.
"Yes, and what a stroke of luck that you managed to discover it's true properties... It was a risk yes, but look how much chaos was spread from such a small little thing..." The man pulled his hood back to show an older teen with messy orange red hair and discolored red and blue eyes. Several pirates were showing up behind him, chortling with devious intent.
"I was one of the first to join your cause. But I had a different path as Doctor L! Nequa took me under her wing and has shown me the ways of chaos!" He looked down at the group. "Kel, so good to see you again. It's been so long since those jungle days. Karina and... Arctus, was it? I believe we were already reintroduced in that laboratory you destroyed. You vexed me greatly," he chuckled insanely.
"Raisor... When I first met you, you were still a boy. When I last left you, you had taken the form of a deer. And now you're a fully grown woman!" he laughed a little harder than necessary this time.
"And finally. Aux. You were my trigger... but it seems you've strained from the chaotic path. A pity. You would have made a powerful ally. But I still must thank you as inspiration that there was a better path. Not as the fraile boy Leo... but as the abrasive, ingenious ZULU!" he cackled.

Aux leaned over to Kel, a bit confused. "I thought he was Kross..."
"But enough time for chat!" Zulu said, after stopping his laughter abruptly. "The Map, Mr. Hawkins..."
Jim reached into his pocket, clutching the map. "And if I refuse?"
Several of the pirates, armed themselves with heavy weaponry, including canons, pistols, and other artillery.
"Well that's just cheating..." Aux sighed.

"Maybe... but since when I have I ever played by the rules... OPEN FIRE!" Zulu yelled, laughing as the group took cover.

"We're outgunned!" Jim yelled, hiding behind the mast. "What do we do?!" he said, yelling over the laser shots.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sparrow and his crew sailed with the three keybladers out into the middle of the ocean, where Sparrow nervously looked at his twitching compass.
Jack has a small crew, and they were helping keep the ship on course. Two notable members on the ship were Mr. Gibbs, an older, rough, but sensible looking man, and Tia Dalma. A voodoo witch with messy hair and tattered clothes.

Tia Dalma observed him behind the wheel as she spoke to the group. "Ayeee... Jack Sparrow does not know what he wants! Or... do know, but are loathe to claim it as his own. Your key go to a chest, and it is what lay inside the chest he seek, don't it?" She spoke more loudly so Jack could hear.

"What *is* inside?" Asked Mr. Gibbs.
"You know of... Davy Jones, yes? A man of de sea. A great sailor, until he ran afoul of dat which vex all men. A woman. He fell in love.
"No-no-no-no, I heard it was the *sea* he fell in love with," Gibbs said.

"Same story, different versions, and all are true. See, it was a *woman*, as changing, and harsh, and untamable as the sea. Him never stopped loving her. But the pain it cause 'im was too much to live wid. But not enough to cause him to die. So he put him heart in the chest. It was not wort' feeling what... small fleeting joy life brings, and so... he carved out him heart, lock it away in a chest, and hide de chest from de world. De keys, he keep wid him at all times."

"Ahh true.. but we have them, and they have special magical keys that do oh so many magical things that could probably give you a run for your money," Jack said, still facing forward.

"So all that's left is to climb aboard the Flying Dutchman, grab your lady friend, you go to your place of origin, and I depart, knowing I did good in the world. Everyone wins!" He said, with a grin.
Tia Dalma looked at him suspiciously. "Let me see your hand." She quickly grabbed his hand to reveal a dark black marking.
"The Black Spot... That thing will always tell the Krakken where to find Jack. How'd that end up on you?"
The rest of the crew stopped to look at him as well.
Stopping the wheel, Jack tried to ignore their gaze, but caved very quickly. Sparrow whined incessantly. "Uggh, fine! I owe Davy Jones a debt for making me Captain of the Black Pearl... Happy?!"
"What's the debt?" Gibbs asked.
"Well uhh... the logistics aren't important... Let's just say the men with the keys are the key to making this all go away. They help settle the debt, we find the chest, kill his heart, and then everyone gets to roam the seas, without fear or guilt. I think it's a good plan..." Jack smiled.

Gibbs noticed the fog start to gloom in around them. "Was clear skies a moment ago..."
"This is not the work of nature...." Tia Dalma said with a tilted head.

As they spoke, a large ship rose from the depths, covered with marine life and aquatic monsters.
"Right... I'll get the rowboat ready."

A quick transition later, Beuce, Steel and Marx were sent on their way to Davy Jones' ship. The vessel when they climbed aboard was crawling with monstrous pirates, with the captain having a beard made from tentacles. He looked to be one of the more larger threats with his lobster-like hand and ghostly eyes. Next to him, was Gilgamesh, sitting on the chest that Luna was in.

"We changed the film's plot a bit, but it's all good," Gilgamesh shrugged.
"I am Captain Davy Jones of the Flying Dutchman!" the captain announced. "The only ones that come aboard my ship, are desperate souls wishing to prolong the afterlife by serving as my crew members. You three are neither dead nor dying. What is your purpose here?!" the captain spoke.

 

​

"Shut up Leo!" Karina called up to him. She shook his head. "You still aren't scary so don't even try." Karina continued on as she stood her ground just annoyed at their presence in general. "Perhaps you should have taken the destruction of your lab as a hint. After all I don't think you are actually good enough to be one of Nequa's minions... or actually Uniform was easy enough to beat so maybe you are." Karina mused trying to get under Leo's skin as she smiled at him. And though he kept trying to get the map, even summoning heartless, Karina stood her ground just smiling at him. "Ha you can't even fight for yourself still. Typical." She bought time for the others to get Jim out of there since she didn't trust him to be strong enough to get out without losing the map. "If you want it then you should come down and get it yourself." Karina summoned her keyblade once again as she smiled once more. "Because guess what. We were able to deal with what you threw at us without a keyblade but now I am a master, so bring it." She threatened.
