Kingdom Hearts: Saga of memories

Chapter
2-2
Into Outer Space

They rocketed off to their doom. Sora, Goofy, and Donald cut though the air, defying all laws of gravity and not getting arrested or even fined- it was the ride of their lives, their last ride. The darkness, all the colours left in the world, whooshed pass them... Too fast to even scream for their lives, they broke through the shield of darkness that covered the entire sky. This was their last breath- a breath trapped in their throats as they were pitched into the pitch.

Eyes shut and hearts pounding, they broke thought the darkness. It stuck to them like a sticky caramel candy bar in a fat kid’s pocket, but the sheer speed that they were going propelled to through the darkness to their demise…

“Hey,” Donald was the first to talk (quack) after the long while they waited to blow up in the great vacuum of space, “Have we exploded yet?” He took a daring peek when it felt like his brain was going to stay in one piece, “Whoa! Sora, Goofy! Look!”

So they did, and much to their surprise, what greeted them was not the dark recesses of space, but something all together more brilliant. It was as thought someone turned off all the dark! The stars sparkled in the endless space, but instead of an inky space holding them in place, a world of blinding white was there- all except the very edges of space…and as for space, one can never know how far anything is, or if the edges were really edges at all.

“Well, that was a close shave, wasn’t it?” A tiny, yet loud, voice of one Jiminy cricket said, poking his little green head out from under Goofy’s silly yellow hat. The cricket was a fine dressed one, lifting the hat up with his umbrella.

“Nice of you to join us, Hyuk!” Goofy teased, holding out his white gloved hand. Jiminy popped open his umbrella and floated down, landed neatly.

“And risk getting my suit scoffed?” He asked on the way down, when he landed, snapping his umbrella shut, “Besides, fighting is wrong. But you won’t believe all the things I wrote down… Now, how did we get here?”

“H…how?” Sora said, dumbfounded. They were floating, suspended just above the darkness. Where the darkness and light meant was a spiraling purple haze, which twisted and fell like the pulling waves of a never-ending ocean. “What…?”

“Where!” A voice squeaked from nowhere. The trio looked around for the owner of the voice, but all there was was space.

“Who?” Chimed in another voice, just as squeaky. This voice sounded closer, and was was accompanied by silly giggles.

Donald made a harsh ducky noise, “All right! That’s it, com’on, show yourselves right-“

“Wheeeeeen?!” A playful voice asked in a jolly tone. And then in a great spark of light, the three owners of the voices appeared. The three were strange star like creatures, with bodies shaped like a Dairy-Queen soft serve, and little nubs for arms and legs. They were all a yellowy colour, with sweet oval eyes. All around them, they sparkled like magical fairies. But when their giggles subsided, trying to look a little more serious.

“You have to help us,” The one with the squeakish voice pleaded, “Please, we were watching you from up here…and we know you can help, Mama said you could help! You have to help! Have to!”

“Whoa, calm down little fella,” Goofy said slowly, in a voice he hoped that would calm it down, but instead the star creature looked ever sadder. “Could you tell us what happened? Like why is space all white?”

“Yeah,” Donald added snappishly, pulling out one of his many back up staffs…just in case, “And what are you, anyway?” (“Donald!” Goofy scolded.)

The first one that spoke, rather larger then the other two, sighed, “We’re Lumas…Cosmic beings that exist, well, out here. Mama-“

“Mama was stolen by the evil King Boooooo!” The squeaky one spazzed, “We’re the only ones left! His little Boo minions put the rest of us in jars, like mean campers!

“Yes, stolen by King Boo,” The one continued, smiling at the little Luma’s actions only like an embarrassed parent could, “He came, I don’t know what time, I’ve never been very good with that, with his minions and destroyed our home. He stole our Mama away, and all the darkness in the sky.”

The trio listened thoughtfully, but that last bit of information stuck Sora as odd, as odd as the name Baron Von Boo-K. Things were just getting odder and odder, “How did he steal the darkness…I didn’t know it was stealable.”

“Yeah!” Donald eyed them with distrust. He just didn’t like the way they sparkled and shinned, I mean, there’s nothing wrong with that, he just didn’t like them. “What about that, huh?”

“I don’t claim to know how, really,” The older Luma replied in a heavy voice, he was older then the others, though age is by far the hardest thing to calculate when one lives in all time zones, sometimes all at one. Space is funny like that, “But what I do know is that you must help us! His words were evil and full of magic…our home lost all its power, and-“

“And all the darkness followed him!” The little squeaky one interrupted, “Mama’s gone! Mama’s gone! Are you gunna help us or what?”

“Now, Ignis,” The one with the jolly voice finally spoke up, “You don’t ask that way.” The middle sized star tilted towards them, in what Sora assumed to be bow. He nodded his head back, which pleased the star creature so immensely, that he let out a squeal of joy before saying, “I’m Numic, the big one is Gala-“

“I can introduce myself,” Gala- said gruffly, “My name is Galatica. A pleasure to meet you-“

“I’m Ignis, I’m Ignis!” Ignis swirled about, causing space to shimmer around him (assuming that they had genders) and Galatica to lose his patients.

“Thank you, Ignis, they know now,” He inhaled deeply (Once again assuming they have genders), “HUSH!” Little Ignis whimpered, dashing behind Numic as protection. The wee Luma shook, look positively terrified.

Numic gave his comrade a sharp look, before sighing, “I’m sorry, we’re a little cranky, we’ve been out here for a long time…looking for someone to save us.”

The trio glanced at each other; this was all a lot to digest. Could they even trust these strange creatures? Well, judging on how Donald kept on adjusting his grip on his re-placement staff, he apparently didn’t think so. Sora knew that Goofy would help them, whether they looked shifty or not. And Sora, he just wasn’t sure, he didn’t want to make a desiding vote or anything…he was just about to ask what they thought when Jiminy spoke.

“I think we should help them,” He said quietly, like a good conscience should. This little cricket could help a little wooden boy become a real one, and if an insect could help defy the laws of physics, then he must have a good head on his shoulders. There was a silence as he made his way back up to Goofy’s hat, “But, that’s just what I think.” And with that, he slipped back under his hat.

“Hrm,” Donald looked at the Lumas suspiciously, his feathered arms folded. He looked away from them all, determined to be unyielding, but he could feel each of their eyes ogling him. Saying to him, “pleeeeeease, Donald, pretty please, with sugar on top?’. He twittered and fidgeted, until he could take no more, “…Fine, we’ll go fine your Mama.”

The Lumas cheered in jubilation. They were going to find Mama! They swirled around their heroes happily, so happy! Even the grouchy Galatica was giggling giddily. There giggling was so infections that they, yes even Donald laughed, as they were being lifted up, higher into space.

“With us you can breathe in space,” Galatica said between giggles. He twisted and turned about them, finally flipping under Donald’s hat. He let out a duck like yell; grabbing his hat and pushing it back down. Surprisingly, the Luma fit perfectly.

“And spin the baddies!” Ignius chimed, spinning about with boundless joy. He popped up and down like a hot crenel, finally settling down on top of Sora’s messy dark hair. The little Luma let out a big yawn, snuggling into his hair. Sora smiled lightly, it gave him a safe feeling.

“And when the,” Numic giggled unreasonably loud here, “time comes, we’ll transform into stuff!” He paused at Goofy, thinking for a moment. He rubbed his nonexistence chin, squinting his eyes, before thinking of something clever. Well, his hat was occupied, he may as well find some place else. With a joyful squeal, the middle sized Luma slipped into Goofy’s pocket.

“Hyuk!” Goofy jumped, caught completely off guard. “That tickled, little buddy!”

Sora’s smile grew into a more serious face. All around them was this strange world of rainbows- How much weirder was it then normal space? He didn’t know. He just knew they had a Boo to beat, and a Mama to save.

“Come on guys,” He said, trying to sound as confident as he could, “Let’s find us a Mama!”

The Crew cheered, each voice mixing together and projected out into space. Sounds of joy becoming sound waves that became nothing more then a form of measurement as they reached farther out…
