Tarzan, Jane, and Clayton

They were sitting around the campfire with Grace playing around when Tarzan awakens from his slumber.

He was confused about where he was as he looked around when Grace landed on his head surprising him when John says, "You are finally awake."

"You, who *grunt* you are," asks Tarzan as John could see that Jane has taught him a bit already.

"I am John...," says John as he presented everyone to Tarzan before grabbing Grace while saying, "...And this is Grace."

"Dangerous," says Tarzan looking at Grace when John continued to pet Grace.

"Not really," says John as he stopped.

"Who are you?" asks John as Tarzan looked at Grace.

"Tarzan," says Tarzan as he looks out the window seeing it was dark.

"I need to Family," says Tarzan as the others were sleeping.

"You need to return to your family?" asks John as Tarzan nods.

"We need a guide through the jungle so how about this. You come back in the morning and help us," says John requesting Tarzan's help.

"I can but first family," says Tarzan as John nods.

"I can understand that," says John as Tarzan leaves through the window from which Fang dragged him in.

John then returned Grace to Jinx who already returned from scouting the jungle and says, "Sleep little one."

Grace got in her favorite position between Jinx's arms while John laid down beside Nesiara who was still awake and jokingly says, "You have done well. The old John would have chained him down so he couldn't run away."

"*fake laugh* Funny," says John when Nesiara kisses him.

"We should sleep tomorrow will be a long day," says Nesiara as she turned around and John's arms surround her.

The next morning everyone noticed that their guest was missing and Fang returned from scouting the area.

"Well, what have you found out?" asks John as Fang scratches his head.

"It seems there is a camp with researchers and their escorts. I also found a group of animals that I befriended in my animal form. The Jungle is infected by some creatures that attack without a warning," says Fang as he could see more than Jinx from the ground than Jinx from the sky since the trees were blocking her view.

They were eating breakfast when Tarzan returned as promised when Sora rushed at him to introduce himself to Tarzan. John was seeing how natural Sora was in making friends reminding him of Nesiara when she was younger.

"He reminds me of someone I know," says John as Nesiara smiled at him.

"Oh, are you trying to get into my pants," says Nesiara as she knew that John meant her.

"Maybe," says John smiling at her.

"Maybe later when we are alone," says Nesiara as Fang then joined them again.

"I send the Dalmatians to Paradise since the Jungle was too dangerous for them to stay any longer," says Fang as the couple nods and Nesiara sends a clone to Paradise to send them home.

In the meantime, Leon was watching how the group was progressing when Jack appears beside him and asks, "When are you going back?"

"I will go back once it is time. Until then I will stay in this Universe that needs my help more than they do right now," says Leon as he was hinting at something that was out there.

"But for that, you need to find the box right," says Jack as Leon shakes his head.

"No, what I need is Kingdom Hearts if I really wanted to turn everything back but it wouldn't change anything. Everything would repeat itself again and I would be powerless against it again," says Leon as Jack smiled.

They see that the group begins to move from the treehouse into the jungle as they follow Tarzan when Jack says, "You just don't want to return to them. You still feel guilty about what happened that you exiled yourself into this Universe."

"I am not the only one that exiled himself in this Universe," says Leon confirming what Jack said.

"Did you know that every time Kingdom Hearts is summoned into this world something terrible happens in the other world?" asks Leon as Jack nods.

"Oh, we know, after all both Universe are connected through the Final World. You know that as well as I do. But my question is when are you going back into the real world?" asks Jack as the group was no longer in their view.

"Once I am sure that Kairi is safe. She is the only thing I have left in this world," says Leon as he traveled between both worlds quite often but he always stayed in this Universe longer because of his family.

"I should leave for now. Yozora must be wondering where I am at the moment. If he is not already aware because of his connection to Sora," says Leon as Jack smiles.

"You should take better care of your student," says Jack as Leon looked at Jack seriously.

"I treat him fairly as I did with all my students before him. And he isn't a child any longer even if he sometimes behaves like one," says Leon as a portal made out of Darkness appears before him.

He enters it while Jack could clearly see the group fighting against heartless while saying, "Sometimes I think we put too much of a burden on the next generation."

"And sometimes I think that we aren't," says Logan as he appears beside Jack.

"Do you think that John and Nesiara will survive the last trial?" asks Jack as he never had to go through the last trial to become a Godking.

"The last trial is not a trial of strength or intelligence. It is the trial that determines if you have the heart to keep going even if you are facing your death. All of them failed either in the trial or before it. Even Nesiara failed it before she even took the trial by saying she loved her freedom," says Logan remembering his trial as if it was yesterday.

"Well, let's hope that John has a strong heart when he is facing his final trial," says Jack as he and Logan fade away.

In the meantime in the jungle, the group was progressing well as they arrived at the camp when they find a woman and a man argue about something while Fang whispers, "We are being watched."

"I know, it must be Jack and Logan. It seems your senses got better," whispers John as Fang scratches his head.

"Of course, I wasn't only laying around the whole day trying to impregnate Jinx. I was training quite hard," whispers Fang when suddenly the woman sees the group.

"Tarzan, are those the friends you mentioned this morning?" asks the woman as Tarzan scratches his head before nodding.

"Tarzan's friends, Jane," says Tarzan as Jane took a look at them and saw civilized people standing in front of her.

"Hi, I'm Sora, this is Donald and Goofy and those are...," says Sora presenting everyone when Jane's eyes fell on Grace.

"A tiger with wings. I must be seeing wrong how is that possible," says Jane as she rubs her eyes when Jinx pets Grace over the wings making her daughter understand that she needs to hide them when they are in camp.

Grace thought it was unfair but did as her mother asked and put them away before Jane looked again to see the wings gone.

"I must have imagined them, it seems," says Jane as Sora wanted to say something when John stopped him and Nesiara began a smalltalk with Jane.

"Sora, we can't tell them about Grace. What if they want to experiment on her or worse hunt her down," whispers John making Sora realize that he almost made a mistake.

"Sorry," says Sora as John smiles and pets his head.

"We can show her later Grace's real form but I don't trust the escorts beside her," says John as Sora smiled happily.

"Alright," says Sora happily when Jane and Nesiara walked towards them.

"Nesiara told me that you all need to speak in private. How about we go to my tent and we talk there?" says Jane as everyone nods when the man with the double-barrel shotgun wanted to intervene.

"I don't think it is a good idea of letting them into the camp. We are here to hunt-," says the man when Jane gets furious at him.

"We are here to study the gorillas, not to hunt them, Mr. Clayton. Now if you excuse me I have some guests to entertain," says Jane as she runs into her tent followed by the group except for Fang who walks towards Clayton.

"If you touch one animal in this jungle I will rip you apart do we understand each other," says Fang in a tone that was meant to warn Clayton.

"Should I now fear you?" asks Clayton sarcastically when suddenly he feels pressure on his body which made him bend his knee.

"That's right you should kneel before the King of the Jungle," says Fang as Clayton looked at his eyes and saw the eyes of a predator staring back at him.

"Let me be clear again," says Fang as he lifted Clayton's head up so he could look into his eyes.

"You touch one of the animals of this jungle and you will follow it, do you understand," says Fang as Clayton couldn't move as if he was paralyzed.

"Good, then let me join the others again," says Fang as he leaves to join the others.

Once inside the tent John whispers, "Did you intimidate him?"

"Yes, I did as you asked of me," whispers Fang as John smiles while they were listening to Jane teaching Tarzan.

"Let's hope that he takes it as a provocation and he begins sooner with his plan," whispers John as he wanted to get a reaction from Clayton that would lead directly to the climax instead of them hunting down that leopard first.
