Grace

After the dust settled the final could continue when Cloud gave up. He knew he would have lost if Cerberus hadn't interfered in the match. He gave Sora a key chain with a Chocobo on it which Sora accepted when it suddenly turned into a Keyblade.

The Keyblade was a completely black and crude Keyblade with a dark red guard and handle. Sora felt quite happy but didn't know what to do when it disappears.

Then Phil gave the trio the title 'Junior Heroes' as the trio didn't even border about being called heroes any longer after John gave them the talk about a hero never calling himself a hero.

Soon after everyone left Sora was trying to summon the new Keyblade into his hand without success when he seems lost.

"Where did it go?" asks Sora as he didn't know.

"Keyblade Wielders can store their Keyblade in here," says John pointing at Sora's heart.

"To summon it you just have to think of it," says John as Sora nods and stretches his hand out while thinking of the key chain he received from Cloud.

Then the Keyblade appears and John says something really important to Sora, "No matter what happens even when everyone turns their back to you. The Keyblade will always see you as its wielder as long as your heart is strong."

Sora was confused when John took his Keyblade away and says, "Show me the strength of your heart."

Sora concentrated when the Keyblade tries to wrestle free from John's hand. Donald and Goofy were observing the training when the Keyblade disappears from John's hand and appears in Sora's hand again.

"See as long as you have a strong heart and will you will be able to get it from my hands as well," says John as nobody noticed that he let go of the Keyblade at the last moment.

"Now that we have done our deed around here we should get going," says John as they wasted enough time in the Coliseum.

"What about the main event?" asks Sora as it was the fight against Hercules.

"How about you fight him the next time we return, it's not like he will run away," says John suggesting it to Sora who seemed to want to fight Hercules.

"Fine but let us at least say our farewell to them," says Sora with a smile as the couple agrees to that.

They go over to Phil and Hercules to tell them that they are going to leave when Phil says, "We will be holding a tournament next month again. So if you want to join it just come by to participate in it."

"We will think about it," says Sora with a smile when Hercules waves at them with a smile.

They walk through the gate that leads to their Gummi Ship. Once there they entered the ship and prepare for the next world.

"Can we participate in the tournament next month?" asks Sora as he looked at everyone.

"Yes, I see why you shouldn't participate in since it is a good training for you three," says John as he saw that as a good training session for the trio.

"We should concentrate on the next world," says Donald as on the display they find the last world they haven't traveled to yet.

It was a world mostly covered in trees with a house built on a tree when John says, "It could be a jungle going by all the trees."

"A Jungle," says Sora as he never saw one before.

"Yes, many animals live in jungles but if the Heartless are there too," says John as the rest could picture what he meant when Sora touches the world on the display.

"No time to lose. We need to help them," says Sora with a smile when everyone nods.

They fought their way through space when Donald says, "When are they going to understand that we can't be defeated."

"Don't be so confident Donald. We haven't seen if that really is everything the Heartless have," says Nesiara as overconfidence one of her student's weaknesses.

They arrived and found themselves over the treehouse when the group lands on the roof. They then leave the ship and they look around the treehouse for information about this world.

"It seems abandoned," says Sora looking around as everything was full of dust.

John sees books laying around when he sees an old picture of a family of three on the ground and says, "It seems to be the house of this family but they seem to not be around."

They looked around when suddenly a leopard attacks them out of nowhere. It went for Donald thinking he was food when he was attacked by a white tiger that appeared out of nowhere with a Phoenix on its head which was holding a little tiger with wings in its peak.

The leopard runs away as fast as possible when the trio took their battle stances when the tiger walked towards John and the phoenix flew towards Nesiara.

The phoenix landed on Nesiara's shoulder and it let go of the tiger kitten it was carrying as Nesiara caught it with her hands. The tiger was rubbing its head against John before lifting his front paws to hug John and lick his face.

"What is going on?" asks Sora confused seeing what was going on.

"Right, you never met them," says Nesiara as she petted the Phoenix before petting the kitten.

"They are Jinx and Fang, our partners," says Nesiara when Jinx jumps from Nesiara's shoulder and turns into her human form.

"Nice to meet you," says Jinx surprising the trio as Jinx was now a human woman.

Fang joined Jinx as he let go of John and turned to a human as well while saying more laid back, "Nice to meet you as well."

"They are Sora, Donald, and Goofy," says John informing the two when he walks over to Nesiara's side.

"And who do we have here?" asks John seeing the kitten with wings in Nesiara's hands.

"That is our daughter, Grace," says Jinx as she picked her daughter up who was quite energetic seeing her parents in their human form.

Grace knew that she would sooner or later unlock hers and was excited to find out how she would look like since her parents looked quite gorgeous in that form.

"Grace, it must have been your idea," says John looking at Jinx since Fang wasn't that good with names.

"Hey, I am quite good with names," says Fang when John takes out a ball made out of threads.

"Fluffy," says Fang as John throws it out of the window making Fang jump after it out of instinct since it was his favorite toy.

Grace almost followed her father out of instinct if she wasn't in her mother's hands who only sighs seeing her lover jump out of a window because of an old toy that John once gave him.

"So where are the others?" asks Jinx as she didn't see the usual suspects that would travel with them.

"They are on other worlds. What about you, when is the marriage?" asks Nesiara as Jinx looked at her confused.

"You know that we are animals, right," says Jinx as Nesiara looked at her confused.

"We don't get married. We are lovers nothing more. It was already hard enough to conceive an egg with my baby here," says Jinx as she kisses Grace's head.

Soon Fang entered through the window with his furball again while holding a man in the other hand. The other man was wearing only some fur that was covering his man parts.

"See what I have found," says Fang as he drags the man inside.

The man was unconscious and John knew with one look that this was Tarzan who Fang dragged inside the treehouse. Everyone in the group was quite confused to see a man just in some fur that covered his man parts.

"Now, who could he be?" asks Sora scratching his head when John took the old picture of Tarzan's family.

"He looks oddly familiar to the man on the picture," says John as he gave the picture around.

"They look almost alike but he has a far darker tan than the man in the picture," says Donald as he was right the man in the picture was after all the father of Tarzan.

"What if he isn't the man on the picture but the baby. That would at least explain why he hasn't any clothes on," says Nesiara hinting at it.

"A man can change in many ways under those circumstances and a boy even more if his parents were killed by this leopard that tried to attack us," says John as they looked at Tarzan with a bit of pity.

"You think that leopard killed his parents," says Sora sad as John pets his student's head.

"It is a sad thing but we can't change the past only the future," says John to Sora who was thinking when Nesiara notices that the sun was going down.

"We should camp here for tonight. The jungle will be dangerous since the animals will be more active in the night and I don't think that the leopard is the only beast out there to get us," says Nesiara as she was worried about her students and Grace.

Grace might be the daughter of two strong beings but she is still a child making it dangerous for her outside.

John then turned to Fang and says, "Can you scout the area and find some Dalmatians? It could be dangerous with that leopard around the place for puppies to walk around."

"I will," says Fang as he didn't even change back as he runs out of the door to check out the area.

"I will help him by having an angle from the air. It is smart to check from both sides after all," says Jinx as she turned into her phoenix form and flies out of the window leaving Grace with Nesiara.

Grace was flapping her wings trying to follow her mother when Nesiara says, "You are still too small Grace. Once you are bigger you can join your mother."

This made Grace wiggle her tail in excitement as Nesiara was petting her head while John made a campfire for them.
