-BOOK II-
“Sora,” Simba said as Sora and his group approached the Pride Rock. “It is good to see you again. And you’ve brought new friends with you.”
“It is good to see you again as well, Simba,” Sora replied. “The one beside me is Riku. The two above are Repliku and Demyx.”
“It is good to meet you, Riku.” Simba decided. He looked up and roared a cheerful welcome to the two birds circling above.
“Looks like he’s a friend of Sora’s,” Demyx told Repliku.
“In that case, he should be safe enough.”
Demyx and Repliku circled lower and lower until they reached the ground.
A lioness came out of the cave within the rocks and stood beside Simba.
“It is always good to see you, Sora,” she said. “And who are your friends?”
“My fellow lion is Riku. The two birds are Demyx and Repliku.”
“I am pleased to meet you all,” the lioness replied.
“Nala is my mate,” Simba told them. “And my Queen. Someday, you too will have a mate.”
A breeze wafted past Sora and Nala caught wind of it. “He’s already found a mate.” she told her husband. She looked at Sora. “Your scent is mingled with Riku’s. You two are very close.”
Sora nodded in confirmation.
“Lovers?” Nala inquired.
Sora nodded again, and noticing a pinkish tinge appearing near the tip of Riku’s nose.
“What of the girl Kairi you spoke of?” Simba inquired.
“She married a noble warrior named Axel,” Sora explained.
“Tell me,” Simba inquired, “what brings you back to the Pride Lands? We haven’t seen you in some time.”
“We’re on a quest to find a soul mate for Repliku,” Sora explained. “It’s the only way we can think of to eliminate the darkness in his heart. It’s attracting Heartless. We can fight them off if they come, but…”
“But you’d rather they didn’t come at all,” Nala finished. She smiled. “Don’t worry. Your friend will find his soul mate.”
There was a smile in Nala’s eyes. Sora knew there was something she wasn’t telling. He started to inquire about it, but Simba shook his head.
“She won’t tell anything unless she wants to.”
A sound nearby made Demyx take flight. He circled high above, then called out:
“Heartless! Heartless!”
Sora’s and Riku’s Keyblades appeared in their mouths. Growling, they charged forward as a large many limbed Heartless stomped toward them.
Above them, Demyx and Repliku circled. Then Repliku dove at the Heartless, slicing at him with his right wing, which left a long gash in it’s wake.
“Try vocalizing,” he called up to Demyx.
Demyx let out a sound that was like a mixture of voice and sitar as he flew over the Heartless with his wingspan full out. Raindrops fell into the Heartless‘ eyes, blinding and disorienting it.
Simba leapt onto the Heartless’ back, determined to help his friends, but was thrown clear by the creature‘s massive tail as it swept over them.
It was all the distraction Sora needed to hamstring the creature’s rearmost left leg.
The creature howled in pain, just as Riku ran beneath it, holding up Way to Dawn, which sliced its underbelly wide open, causing the Heartless to finally vanish.
“You okay, Simba?” Sora asked.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t help more, Simba apologized.
“No need to apologize,” Riku told him. “Without your distraction, we might never have defeated that Heartless.”
“Your friend Demyx has a most unique and beautiful song,” Nala told them as she joined them. “Even the rain loves his voice.”
“We should go,” Repliku said. “Before we bring more Heartless.”
“You will come back though?” Simba asked.
“After I find my soul mate,” Repliku promised.
“Please do,” Simba requested. “I have so many other friends I’d like you to meet.”
“It’s a promise,” Repliku decided. “Once I’ve found the one I seek, we’ll return here and I’ll introduce you.”
“Nala and I look forward to it,” Simba told them.
As they left the Pride Rock, Sora turned to Riku. “Have I mentioned that you look absolutely delicious as a lion?”
Riku gave a proud shake of his mane. “I do, don’t I?” He agreed.
“It’ll be a shame to lose the ability to fly when we leave this world,” Demyx sighed. “It was so much fun.”
“We can always come back when we want to do it again,” Repliku pointed out.
“Yeah, that’s true,” Demyx laughed.
Riku pressed the button to open the door, and the four of them entered the ship, immediately resuming their human forms.
“We don’t seem to be having much luck,” Repliku sighed. “No matter where we go, we end up having to leave because of the Heartless.”
“Don’t give up hope, Repliku.,” Sora said. “We’ll find your true love. You’ll see.”
“I hope so,” Repliku sighed.
As soon as the ship was in flight, Demyx took out his sitar. He played a soft melody that nobody had ever heard before while the others quietly listened from their chairs. Soon it would be time for them to choose a pathway. They would have to fight their way through, then. But for now, it was time to just sit back and listen to Demyx play.
