Taivas

Taivas walked into the tent; He looked quite annoyed by her calling him Han again. “How many times do I have to tell you my name isn’t Han.” He enunciated every word, looking more annoyed by her every second.

Taivas’ eyes peer over towards Clayton, and his face grimaces. He feels the man is up to something but doesn’t know what yet. But he doesn’t like the look he is giving off to Dotty. “I’m not his brother…" Taivas says with a growl in his voice. He shook his hand briefly, but his handshake was very aggressive “Taivas.” He said, glancing at him. To Clayton it looked like Taivas was studying him. There was something about Clayton that annoyed Taivas greatly. “And no, she’s not my daughter; she's just a nuisance.” He said, glaring at Dotty.

“I could use a drink.” Taivas was glad to have something to relieve his headache, which Dotty had caused him. He took the glass and took a big swig, somewhat enjoying the burning liquor going down his throat. He made a face of disgust as he drank it. “You're studying these monkeys? Are you some sort of biologist? You don’t look like it.” Taivas said, looking at the gun Clayton had.

A look of horror came over as Dotty was starting to sing. “Ah shit…not again.” Taivas moved back, feeling like he was in some sort of hellscape. He tried to rush towards Dotty to clasp his hand over her mouth. But he was not quick enough as she started her song. Looking horrified as everyone was beginning to sing. Fighting the urge to stab himself with his keyblade.

As the song started to end, Kerchak ripped open the flaps of the tent. He looked pretty annoyed, mainly looking at Turk. Grabbing her by the arm to bring him to his side. He started beating his chest and letting out an ear-piercing roar. This seemed to be mostly directed at Tarzan.

As soon as Lucian saw Levi surrounded by Heartless, he didn’t hesitate. He knew what he had to do. His Keyblade manifested in his hands. “We have to help him!”

He turned to Goofy and Donald.“You said you came to protect me? Then come with me. Because I’m not running away while my friend is in danger.”

He then turned to the Fairy Godmother, and Merlin. “And thank you both. For everything.”

And with that, he rushed out the door.

Donald waited for Lucian to exit before voicing his opinion. “Kid finds out he’s a prince and immediately starts bossing us around.”

“We did come to protect him, Donald, and his friend seems to have a keyblade too.” Goofy said, heading towards the door.

Donald threw his hands in the air in exasperation and followed. “Just how many of these keys are there?”

Lucian exited Merlin’s home to find himself surrounded by water. He looked up to see that there was a way off this island of a home, but it required him hopping along moving rocks in the water.

Donald and Goofy caught up with him.“What are you waiting for?” Donald quacked as he jumped on a rock as it was moving into place. “Your friends are waiting, right?”

Lucian blinked when he saw that Merlin’s house was pretty much on its own island. He hesitated for a minute, until he heard Donald’s voice. He nodded,“Right.”

Without another word, he jumped onto the first rock. He wobbled for a minute before getting his balance. The next rock was already moving. With a grace that surprised even himself, he jumped forward.“Hang on, Levi, I’m coming.”

Goofy followed the two as they made their way across the pond towards the Third District.

---

Donald waddled into the Third District and immediately took in everything that was going on. The Heartless were running rampant and he didn’t like that they were so close to the old man’s house. Were they after the kid? How could they sense him all the way in there? Merlin had to do better with his protection spells.

“AERO!!!” Donald screamed as he pointed his magic staff at the charging Large Body Heartless. The robust figure of darkness was lifted up into the air, its legs and arms running and swinging trying to regain ground. Be careful what you wish for. “GRAVITY!” The Large Body went crashing into the ground faster than it was lifted up, dispersing and releasing its stolen hearts.

Goofy followed Donald’s lead and threw his shield at a shadow Heartless. It dissipated into nothing as the shield passed through before hitting a wall and bouncing off like a pinball and hitting another shadow before his shield bounced off another wall and returned to him.

Lucian ran into the Third District after them. His eyes went wide from all the chaos. He gripped his Keyblade tightly. “Okay,” he muttered to himself. “You’ve trained for this… sorta. You can do this.”

It wasn’t just the Heartless swarming the place that took him by surprise. It was Goofy wielding the shield, like he had done in the dream that had started this mess, only way better. Donald was casting really cool spells he had never seen.

He didn’t have much time to gush about how cool that was. He had to dodge an attack from a shadow Heartless, before whacking it with the Keyblade, causing it to vanish into nothing.

Amidst everything going on, Lucian saw Hoshi jump in too. With a Keyblade of her own no less. Lucian was just relieved everyone managed to survive the Islands. “Hoshi, Levi!” He called out to them.

As Launchpad continued to think of his next daring quip (As all great heroes need a follow up one after their initial, it's in the "Darkwings Do's And Don'ts of Daring Do Vol 3" only $39.99 at all good retailers) suddenly, the waifish girl seemed to twirl around him and blow a bunch of them away, straight into the blaster fire of Leon and the shuriken of the other scantily clad girl. Launchpad listened as the girl told him what to do. Leon simply saluted as he switched to the Plasma Cannon, checking if it worked, before sighing, putting it away and simply drawing the Photon Bazooka and blasting a couple more to clear the path as ordered. "Of course, ma'am. We're on a secret mission from StUGHT-!" He was cut off as Leon jumped up and grabbed his beak, before cartoonishly tying it in a bow to keep him from saying anything else. As he landed, he looked up at Aerith

"Talking should be done by those with brains larger than a grape." He said to her."Whatever needs doing, we will do." He said, letting his Star Command training take over.

"Mubwgawbmuvuveebigwr?" Launchpad asked. Leon grabbed Launchpads shirt and pulled him down so he could untie his lips with a single pull. "But what about Hoshi and her Keyblade?" He asked.

"We can do as you ask, but only if you 2 Clavats can guarentee us her safety. If not, we're going after her." He demanded, staring up at Aerith, but then again, he was only 3ft tall, so he stared up at everyone except Moogles and other Lilties. To illustrate his point, he slung the bazooka over his shoulder and shot at a Knight that had just dived for him without looking, the shreded remains of the knight hit him, letting off an intimidating effect of the shadows pouring off of him for a second as the Knight faded from existance. An intimidation that was slightly muted by the giant Duck man with a big, friendly smile stood next to the short gunner.

"Almost got it!" Zac yelled back at Leon over the din of battle. His stone wall had crumbled in places due to repeated hits, gradually exposing more and more of himself and his ship with each stone that fell away. "Alright, Sigrid," he eventually said after reconnecting the final coupling, "it's time to wake up!" He closed the panel underneath the wing he was under, then leapt up into the cockpit just as the canopy finished swinging open. After doing a quick last minute check inside, he pressed a button and the console in front of him came to life.

"That's right! I'm a genius!" Zac laughed as he input a series of commands before he leapt back out of the ship. The canopy closed on its own as the ship rose into the air and hovered above the surrounding rooftops before it shot off into the sky. It was far too dangerous for him to let loose with the ship's weapons in such a tightly packed town, especially now that she was fully operational, so he had decided to program the autopilot to send the ship into orbit around the world, where it would be able to quickly return when it was time to leave. "Let's do this," he muttered as he summoned Stonecall to his hand and rushed toward an unbroken part of his wall.

With a swing of his Keyblade, Zac burst through the wall as easily as if it were paper, scattering stone into the horde of heartless, dissolving several. Before his feet hit the ground, he quickly assessed the situation and his eyes focused on the Large Body that was giving Leon trouble. An image of a ticking clock appeared behind him as he cast Haste on himself just before dashing forward. As he closed the distance, he ran his hand along the length of his Keyblade, leaving behind shimmering hexagons of light along the blade, then swung the moment he was within reach. Instead of rebounding, Zac's strength caused his weapon to sink into the Heartless' stomach, deforming it like a rubber ball, but even that wouldn't have been enough to do any lasting damage. Due to the Reflect that Zac had cast on his Keyblade, however, the force of the swing combined with the force of the Large Body's stomach trying to deflect the blow was more than enough. Reflect shattered, sending all that force back into the Large Body, but instead of destroying it, all that energy sent the Large Body flying over the rooftops relatively unharmed and now the problem of whomever might be in the direction of the First District's main plaza. It wasn't an immediate problem, though, and Zac was fine with that.

He thrust his Keyblade into the ground and a series of floating stone platforms rose from the ground, creating a path over the Heartless and onto a nearby rooftop. "Get going!" he yelled to Leon. "Try to save as many of the townspeople as you can! I'm gonna see if I can't find the people I came here with!"
