Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

Stunned for seconds, the detective blinked, still grasping that he had been full on slapped. "Yes, well... quite," he replied, fixating his jaw. "No doubt some sort of adolescent trauma, I won't hold it against him," h claimed, attempting to brush it off. Re-adjusting his apparel, he pondered for a moment before replying. He paced towards his fireplace and placed his eyes on a fixated newspaper of Ratigan escaping. "Not a corner of London's safe while Ratigan's at large. There's no evil scheme he wouldn't concoct! No depravity he wouldn't commit. Who knows what dastardly scheme that villain may be plotting even as we speak..."

Elsewhere in London's Sewers...​

A slender, mouse was hard at work with his project. This such mouse was Olivia's father; Hiram Flaversham, who had been captured early on. He was currently being imprisoned in a human sized barrel, that was modified and turned into a jail cell. Working at a podium, he was sadly controlling a mechanical machine in doing simple tasks. Before his abduction, Hiram was well known for his unbeaten work in clockwork toys and had caught the interest of Ratigan for his mysterious plan.
As the toymaker was hard at work, Ratigan had come evil chuckling into the cell.
"Quite an ingenious scheme, eh, Flaversham? And aren't you proud to be a part of it" Ratigan was a large and well groomed rat with a very professional way of doing things. As Basil described him, his criminal genius had always led to his escape, and his most recent scheme was something he was sure would fool even Basil.
"This whole thing...i-i-it's monstrous!" Flaversham replied angrily.
"We will have our device ready by tomorrow evening, won't we? You know what will happen if you... fail?
"You can do what you want with me. I won't be a part of this... this... this evil any longer!"
Ratigan calmly lit his cigarette, and inhaled deeply. "Mmm... very well. if that is your decision. Oh, uh, by the way, I'm taking the liberty of having your daughter brought here."
"O-Olivia?"
"Yes. Hm hm, yes. I would spend many a sleepless night if anything unfortunate were to befall her."
"You... You wouldn't!"
Ratigan picked up a ballerina doll that Hiram had taken parts from to finish Ratigan's requested machine. The doll was now hallow, and Ratigan used his monstrous grip to squeeze it, until the head popped off. He gazed at the doll in mock sorrow and lunged it threateningly at the toymaker.
"FINISH IT, FLAVERSHAM!!"
With a heavy heart, Flaversham reluctantly did as he was told. Outside, Ratigan had begun humming a happy tune to himself. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to the bat; Fidget, who was standing guard at the door.
"Oh, I love it when I'm nasty... Now, here's the list. You know what to do, and no mistakes" he handed the piece of paper to the disabled bat.
"No, no. No mistakes, sir," he replied with a twitch. He took a long look at the list and began to read it aloud; "Tools... gears... girl... uniforms.
"NOW, Fidget" he ordered.
" I'm going, I'm going! I'm going!"
As fidget hesitantly fled, Ratigan pulled out a newspaper that featured the Queen's picture on the front page.
"Tomorrow evening, our beloved monarch celebrates her Diamond Jubilee.And... with the enthusiastic help of our good friend, Mr. Flaversham, it promises to be a night she will never forget! Her last night... and my first as supreme ruler of all mousedom!"
He took his cigarette and burned the queen's face off the paper.

Back at Basil's...​

Basil was pacing at his fireplace for quite some time. "Hmm. Ratigan's up to something. A crime of the most sinister nature no doubt. The question is, what would he want with a toy maker?"
Unbeknown to anyone at the residence, Fidget had begun to make his way onto the scene. the little bat was exhausted from racing around the sewers and was quietly making his way near the house. He tried to stay exceptionally quiet, as Eon was outside, frustrated and pacing around.

 

From the corner of her eye Karina saw Kross get injured by one of the dogs. Instently she stopped fighting the group of heartless that she was fighting to kill off a bird that was flying his way. Kross was the last person Karina expected to have gotten injured. She took out on other bird then turned back to the heartless she was fighting. With her back turned to Kross she asked him. "You going to be okay?"

 

Some time later after some deliberation and conversation, courtesy of timothy Mouse, the show was about to begin. Timothy was behind the curtain with Dumbo, who was very timid at the time. Dumbo was very shy and being the main focus in front of all these people didn't help. Krowley and Shapur gazed from the same curtain as the ringmaster took center stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen... we will now present for your entertainment... the most stupendous, magnificent... super-colossal spectacle. On this tiny... little, insignificant ball... we will construct for you... a pyramid, not of wood, not of stone - but a living, breathing pyramid of ponderous, pulsating... pulchritudinous pachyderms" The ringmaster spoke in a very thick Italian accent, and really drew in the crowd. He was under a single spotlight, and surrounding him, were the elephants who were gossiping about dumbo previously. "I give you the elephants!" The crowd cheered and music began to play. One by one, the enormous elephants began to mount on top of one another, carefully balancing themselves onto a 5 foot rubber ball. "They're almost ready now, Dumbo. Don't forget to wave that flag." Using his trunk, the little elephant waved it back and forth. "Okay, okay. Don't wave it no more. I saw ya! Now wait for your queue." This was the little elephant's chance to make something of himself, and as scared as he was, he let out a cute little smile.
" And now, I present the world's smallest little elephant... who will spring from this springboard- in one spring... to the top of this pyramid, waving his little flag... for a grand CLIMAX! Ladies and gentlemen... I give you Dumbo!" The small curtain opened to reveal the wide eyed Dumbo, frozen.
"What's the matter with you? Dumbo! That's your cue! You're on, Dumbo," Timothy urged. Unsure of what else to do, the small mouse took out a thin point and pricked the elephant into running out, unbeknown to him that a new act had entered the ring.

​

"Who are these shmucks? They ain't part of the program. Look like a bunch of horns without the clowns. Just ain't right I tells ya."
"They're not part of the program," Krowley mentioned in a panic. the little elephant was running out and heartless were surrounding the arena. The audience clapped, assuming it was part of the show. they tooted at Dumbo, scaring him and making him serpentine back and forth. "Hey, what's the big Idea!" timothy yelled out,
"We'll take care of it," Krowley reassured.

The Sewerline​

Ratigan looked back at the young mouse with interest. "Oh, I've found the little girl's father," he replied, continuing to inhale his cigarette. Exhaling with a grin he continued; "In fact, I've found great use for him in my latest scheme, hmm, hmm. And rest assured, I've sent some one to help reunite the two of them." He took another quick puff. "I wasn't aware Basil was accepting interns now, but I'm afraid I only have time to kidnap one child today..." From his coat pocket he took a small bell and rung it a few times. From the ground, heartless appeared in increased numbers. Ratigan chuckled. "Marvelous, aren't they? Much more proficient than my previous henchmen. as great as my bestial knowledge is, I have no idea what species they are, but to be frank, I could care less. They are obedient little shadows." He looked down to the twitching heartless and gave a cutthroat gesture. "Dispose of him elsewhere... Oh! And in case your primitive mind had yet to piece it together... I am Ratigan..."

Back at Basil's​

Fidget was scurrying around the house in an estimate that the little Scottish mouse was out seeking Basil's help. He peeked his large snout by the windowsill in which Olivia was sitting quietly in Basil's large chair. Breathing heavily, he was unaware of how loud it was. Lightning striked, revealing his outline, and caused Olivia to scream. This made Fidget startle and drop, but not fast enough for Basil not to notice. "A-ha! the fiend makes his appearance! Quickly Dawson, we've not a moment to lose!" they rush outside to find that Fidget had already fled. Basil looked around and knelt down to look at the sidewalk, where Fidget has left behind his muddy footprints.
"No sign of the blackguard anywhere," Dawson sighed.
"Not quite, Dawson. He left some rather unusual footprints. They obviously belong to the same fiend who abducted the girl's father. Ratigan's peg-legged lackey Don't worry Miss Flammerhammer, your father is as good as found!"
"Flaversham!" the small mouse correct.
"Whatever. Now all we need to do is follow the tracks, and that scoundrel is as good as ours. Come along Dawson."
"Y-you want me to come?"
"Ha! I should think a stouthearted army mouse like you would leap at the chance for adventure"
"Well, heh, heh. I am rather curious. But uh, what of these gentlemen," he motioned, pointing to Aden and Raisor."
"What of them? Oh, yes, well... I suppose they can come along. Who knows if something needs to be... carried or something. Besides we're already bringing along an 8 year old, so a couple of young men don't exactly hurt our chances."

"Phew!" Jaq said, exhausted as he carried in the last piece of material. The material was wrapped vigorously around his waist, and the mouse had to shimmy his hips to get it to slide off. Kicking it to the side near the dress, he looked to the other. "That one not easy to get, No no... Jaq had to jump on dresser, den da couch, den da other dresser, den use ball a yarn, den hop on ruler and balance to bookshelf, den..." the mouse went on in a mixture of words for a few more moments on his exhausted journey through the wardrobe room. He looked down and noted that everyone had found the right materials. "Zugk-zugk, we got everything for Flinderelly's dress."

"Hmm... still missing something," he said, wondering to himself. "Still needs... pretty pretty pearls," he added looking at Cinderella's drawing. Jaq tried to get them yesterday, but... Roos-a-fee..." he said shuddering. Mean cat-cat break necklace. Now pearls are all over da house!" he sighed. If Kel-kel, Etree, Runa, and Steer find da pearls, Jaq can finish up Cinderelly's dress" he motioned ecstatically. "Roos-a-fee should be sleeping downstairs, but be carefee!"
