Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

Base summoned his Kingdom Key in suite with the others, gazing as the one elephant became two, then three, then four! They were multiplying before their eyes. He heard what Krowley had to say and added to it a disturbed utterance of "Still think it isn't necessary?" It was the smart alec thing to ask, since Base had a big clue Krowley as well as Shapur were threatened by the ensuing Pink Elephants. Above them, the elephant quartet had turned their trunks into trumpets somehow and were blowing away at them to commence a great fanfare.

"Silencio!" Base shouted as he leaped into the air and thrust his Keyblade through each of them in turn, and by then this was an easy task, as they had drawn their trunks in together to become one larger than life instrument. He finished them just as they had finished their intro, and so by the time he fell to the ground, all he had left above them was a blown apart golden trumpet mouth that still hung in the air. Base was about to add something triumphant here, but was disheartened and quieted when he heard the music still continuing. It had taken on a very march-like quality and was coming from inside the giant metallic remainder he'd left. Before his very eyes, a line of Pink Elephants was starting to march out of the gaping mouth and towards them! He watched as one by one they exited, headed by a band leader Elephant twirling a baton, and wearing a tall feathery cap the same hue of pink the monstrosity was. It didn't seem to bother any of these Elephants they were far above the ground, and neither did gravity apply to them.



Base waited until they came closer to the ground, and swung at the leader with his Keyblade. All this proved to do was disperse the rhythm keeper into shreds of pink rubbery material that disappeared before they hit the ground. The demonically disquieting marching band played on without their leader, causing Base to take a step back.

"I'm afraid, I need your aid..." Base murmured to the two in his company as he paused and immediately realized he had just rhymed without meaning to. Five was about as much as he could handle just then, and dozens upon dozens were seeming to come out of the blown out trumpet like ants in a line.

"You want to save the eggs?" If mice were going to catch up with a vehicle, and possibly fight a human, than they would be needing help. Though despite talking as loud as she could in this form she was not sure if Fang could hear her and was only hoping for the best. Especially when it came to the mother, for she could not be trusted there. In fact, there was no trust. But if they could use her that would be great.

 

Kross only observed until the vehicle was gone. He glared after the man in the truck, that wasn't nice of him to leave his friend behind like that. He followed behind the others and looked up at the woman. "That wasn't very nice of him."He said in her direction, voice soft. As true as it was that he didn't trust the woman, he sympathized with her, it looked like she had something she needed to do. Which gave him an idea."If you can help us catch up to him, we can help you take care of him."

 

Shapur scoffed. As if numbers would make a bit of difference. Base then took out five of the enemies. Shapur took a moment to analyze his targets. While he didn't perceive these elephants as a threat, it would be foolish to write them off without proper study. After a few moments, he had no doubt in his mind that he could defeat them. "Let's get started." He leaped and struck down one of the elephants. "Next?" He then turned and slashed at the same time, dealing with another.

 

Base heard the cocky utterance from Shapur and scoffed. "While" Base slashed at the belly of one of the Elephants, but it rebuked the blow and bounced Base off with a gleeful bound, "I admire", Base instead went for the head this time and found it to lay true, vanquishing the surprised Elephant, "Your candor..." Base was running out of breath as he tried to slash at another Elephant, but its legs extended up as he tried to hit the core of it (Making due, he made a full circular rotating swing at the leggy beast) "I must stress: You're only focusing on the easy ones." Base was at last able to pause long enough from battle to finish the whole of the sentence.

Base directed Shapur over to a mammoth of a Pink Elephant led by a much tinier pachyderm. "Watch this." He said to the fellow Keyblade wielder as he ran over. However, he was soon dispelled when he found the Elephant's strides to be too long for him to and a hit. What's more, it continued to step onto the much smaller Pink Elephant on every other step. Base slowed his pace after a moment and watched as the smaller of the two grew to a colossal size while the larger shrunk down to the minuscule size of the former, as though they had traded mass through the air. Base then observed as the now bigger elephant clapped the smaller elephant with a pair of brassy cymbals, which caused the smaller to become many more, much smaller elephants. Base took this opportunity to jump up and take out the ginormous foe and land on another of the smaller ones now cavorting in a circle below with the Keyblade facing the ground. Base leaped out of the parading circle before being squashed as the Elephants had balloned up to a much more Elephantine size once more.

Even as- HEY! Hey, wait a minute here! What's that thing? Isn't that? Yes! It is! HelP! There's a Pink Elephant walking around on my screen! Uh oh... I lost track of him... Where'd he go? Ugh! How is it I lost him? Oh, wait, there he is right- Gah! It's marching on all ___ letters! And it squashed the "the"! Oh no! It's coming this way! Base, help out before the Pink Elephants invade kh-vids.net and destroy the Fourth Wall as well! Help!

Thus, Base ran into this very post and struc_ the elephant down just as it hopped onto and subsequently crushed the letter "k" in "struck". What's more, he left without realizing he is but a character in an RP, and so Base went back and slapped Shapur on the back. "Come on. You've taken out a lot fewer than I have!" Now, it was Base's turn to be cocky, but in a friendly manner of course; and he smirked devilishly in his competitive delight. This was uncharacteristic of him, as usually, he had been the kid to stay in the fitness center and work out with free weights while everyone else participated in the more team-based, social sports. He thought for a moment just how much more confident his time at the Mysterious Tower had made him, and how much he'd changed in so little an amount of time.

(OOC: I know I said the last time I wrote something non-canon and goofy, it would be the last time, and not to worry: it was. However, given that the Elephant sequence in "Dumbo" did break the fourth wall at least once, I wanted to incorporate this aspect into the battle. I really want to cover the entirety of what happens in the song if I can. No one has to follow suite, but I'd like to say also anyone is free to do the same thing I'm doing, as I don't want to monopolize it either.

Luna ran up and attack Lucifer once again seeing him getting a little weaker.

 

Kel attack the cat again.

 

Shapur's eye twitched. This worm DARED question his ability? Shapur dashed forward and slashed left and right, taking out four elephants before stabbing the fifth one. His strategy was to take out the smaller ones so they can focus one the larger ones without worrying about getting swarmed.

 

Watching Shapur go at them from a distance, Base chuckled with delight as he spotted an Elephant bigger than all the rest. It was more than colossal, because it was simply a giant to giants. This particular pachyderm was far less anthropomorphic than the rest of them, dressed in armor and spikes; it also had tusks where the others had none. As it carelessly clamored slowly, Base could see atop it several of the normal types of Pink Elephants, but adorned in rags in an almost Middle-Eastern Warrior style, riding in a box strapped to the larger Pink Pachyderm's back. Base could not refuse the opportunity he saw before him, and he made double sure he was in Shapur's view whilst he did it.

"Hey, Chap," Base got his name wrong on purpose, "Catch this!" And Base ran at the monstrosity heavily an steadily walking towards nothing in particular. He grabbed onto its long, swinging tail, and knocked around a bit shortly thereafter by the velocity of the swing, he landed atop the beast on the rear quarters. He had to take a moment to correct himself, realizing how lucky he was to have landed on its wide back and not in the abyss below. Base looked up and saw the riders just noticing his presence as he caught their blank and empty sockets.

"Uh oh." Base muttered as they swung over the rails of the box they were sitting in, wielding long pointy sticks, that, oddly enough, were just as pink as everything else they were attached to. There were six of them, and Base knew he couldn't take them all on at once. He braced himself for their closing distance to him, as they really didn't have far to dash. Base then guarded himself as one tried to stab him through the gut, popping the stick once it made impact with his Keyblade. The stunned Pink Elephant tried to dash off, but Base caught it in the leg and it popped much like its former weapon.

Another went for his throat, but Base caught this weapon too, making short work of both it and its wielder. Thus, it remained the four riders, the Pachyderm, and himself. The four riders sneered silently as they grouped up and tried to surround Base. He had to admit, these creatures in particular were extremely intimidating. Just then, startling them all the beast below gave a wobble and it was every being for themselves as the "ground" began to shift. Two Pink Elephants lost their footing and fell to the depths below. The two remaining looked at one another in surprise as they saw they were the only ones left and hardly enough to surround someone. Base saw this as his opportunity to catch them off guard, and so, with Keyblade in hand, he lunged at the one to the left and left the other staring shocked into empty space and floating specks of Pink.

Base made a dash to the front of the mammoth monstrosity as the sole remaining Pink Elephant dashed after him. Base let it catch up to him, grinning and stopping abruptly near the trunk. The Pink assailant then realized too late it had been going to fast to slow down, and it looked with awe and terrific surprise as it braked right into Base's extended Keyblade. With all the riders gone, Base breathed a sigh of relief that was not long-lived. The beast below was trying to rear him off by shaking its mighty head. Base responded by leaping onto the trunk and catching the behemoth between the eyes and right on the bridge of its trunk with one powerful, two-handed stab from the Keyblade. The monster started to inflate and lose its shape as it roared and trumpeted, while Base was cast down to ride his descent by means of the narrowing trunk. Just as Base reached the ground, the former threat had ballooned to a nearly unrecognizable unstable giant bubble as it rose into the air and popped with a tremendous sound that did little more than ruffle the hairs on Base's head.

Grinning from ear to ear, Base caught his breath and stood up, supporting himself on his Keyblade. He smirked at Shapur coyly as he merely stood there for a moment, and dashed off to banish more beasts.

At Fang's words Yana nodded. It was nice to hear that she was on the same page of them and even offered her hand, which Yana hopped on. She then climbed up the woman's arm to rest upon her shoulder. "The sun or we're all mad," Yana mumbled even though she figured Fang heard her anyway, given that she was so close to the woman's ear and all. Either way no time to waste thinking about how insane the world was now. "Mad or not, let's catch him."

 

Steel was getting weaker, but he had no more potions. He could do nothing but attack.

 

Etrius suddenly realized that his friend was injured. He faced the cat again, and summoning most of the strength that he'd gathered, he let his dark part take control for a little.
At first, he felt his body bend over as if stunned, but then started to move as though he was having a bit of a seizure. He jumped 3 times, avoiding the cats paw slaps, and when he was near enough, he slashed at the cat in a twitch, spastic manner. But darkness had not completely took control. His mind was still intact, but he was letting his body move in. As more darkness poured from both his wrist and his shoulders, he jumped back ending his attack.

 

Kross quietly listened to Fang, the momentary pause made him tense up. Fang was their only shot to catch up to Mcleach. Though when she offered her hand, he breathed out a tiny sigh of relief and was last to leap on, letting the two girls on first before he settled himself on her shoulder beside Yana. "Yeah, we can do this, I just hope no one's scared of heights" He teased, grinning brightly."I'm ready when you guys are!"

 

Shapur growled as he watched Base finish the group of elephants and the larger one. "That still only counts as one!" Shapur shouted. He let out a fearsome cry and dashed forward, heading for a larger elephant. "You think you're better than me!?" He leaped up and slashed at its back. "You're NOT better than me!" He twisted in midair and came down on the elephant, cutting it in two. That was when another one of the elephants attempted to sneak up on him. Shapur twisted around and caught its weapon when it struck. He slashed at its leg, causing it to go down. "Goodbye." He then stomped on its head, turning it into a mass of pink mush. Three elephants attempted to charge him. Shapur held his keyblade in an offensive stance and ran at the elephants, then ducked under their weapons, striking each one down as he passed. "THAT is how a soldier works."

 

Base chuckled at heart, despite the severity of his situation. The situations at hand, as he fairly delighted at egging Shapur on, had him dealing with a Pink Elephant that had taken on the rough shape of a camel. He made short work of this nearly harmless foe; he almost felt bad when he realized it hadn't fought back at all. His moral dilemma was put on the back burner, however, as he was knocked asunder when a flute came blaring into his ears. He wheeled around to see a shape of a pyramid with the look of one of the Elephants, but cleverly disguised in a sandy color. This Pachyderm proved more perilous to punish, however, Base perceived. Every hit he tried to make on it, his Keyblade rebounded off like it was living statuary made of real stone. Enraged by its gall to blare its instrument in his ears from behind, Base knocked the curved flute out of its grasp, and as soon as he did, the Pyramid Pachyderm froze on the spot and crumbled away swiftly into dust.

Satisfied for a moment, Base was soon disenchanted when he saw the flute snake its way about the ground and, what's more, became a real snake! Quickly though, and much to his relief, the snake shifted into what resembled a Belly Dancer; the Pink Elephant looked roughly female and certainly had a great deal of belly with which to dance with as it fluidly shook its hips and danced in an Arabesque fashion. Base merely stood there, amused by the antic, until the figure tried to kick him in square in the chest. 'Just as much a threat as the rest.' He thought as he brought the Keyblade upon the creature and forced it down a similar pathway he'd brought to many others recently; the dancer blowing into smithereens on impact with his Kingdom Key. In its wake, it divided into three more identical ineffectual "temptresses", albeit much smaller. Now accustomed to the specific creature's tricks, Base cut them down hardly a moment before the song had a pretty good transition into something more pace-faced that questioned Base's agility strongly.

"Don't they ever stop!?" He shouted aloud, aghast at how many of the these foes were posing and blocking future aid.
