Crisis of Multiple Earths

"But...How will i know."Bambi said.
-----------------
as the screen panned, Tailsko saw a figure in the background. "What the...oh no..." Tailsko said, starting to transmit to Corey.

"...Let's just say, I have a feeling you're better at jumping than he is...let's go on and get down there..." As Corey began to lead the way towards Ronno and Faline, Tailsko's words got to Corey.

Watch out...that silver fawn is close by...

Alright, I'll be as careful as I can...but I don't think he'll be doing much anyway. Corey and Bambi began to close the distance, making sure Ronno, Faline, or Riku didn't notice.

Ronno meanwhile, was attempting to woo Faline. It was here, Corey and Bambi stopped, hidden behind underbrush, directly in front of Riku and down a ways.

"Watch this, heh..." Ronno then barely cleared the small jump. "Let's see the young prince or his unbalanced friend pull that one off..."

"That's your cue, Bambi...now go out there, and show him up..." Corey said. "Don't worry, I'll be right behind you..."

"So i see your talking about me..." Bambi said walking out, Corey following.

"Well if it isn't Bambi and his friend twinkle toes..." Ronno laughed.

"...Clear that jump..." Corey mumbled so that only Bambi could hear, and spoke up so that Ronno could hear. "Yeah, yeah, we've been through that one already...twice. Try something different for a change."

Bambi readied himself for the jump ahead, getting ready to move.

"Well, I'm going to try something different as well...let's just say, I'm going from Point A, to Point B, without stopping at Point C...and that's where you're at, Ronno." Corey continued..

"umm...what...?" Ronno said. "I don't understand stupid...Heh heh..."

"Oh, you'll find out..." Corey replied. His anger was greatly suppressed, mostly due to his plan. He looked over to Bambi, who was still preparing to go. "...You ready?"

"...Yes...I am."

"Alright, go!" Without warning, Corey and Bambi rocketed past Ronno, both easily clearing the first jump. Well, Bambi anyway. Corey was intentionally holding back on his speed and jumping prowess to allow Bambi to have his spotlight time. After all, Bambi was the main character here, according to what his friends were telling him, and he couldn't upstage him more than he already had. So Corey stumbled a bit, making sure not to oversell it. Bambi reached the huge jump, and started to slow down.

"Keep going!" Corey yelled. "You can do it, bro!" Even though it would have been part of his character anyway, Corey skidded to a halt at the lip of the cliff, shocked at the words that had come out of his mouth. Meanwhile, encouraged, the young prince made the biggest jump of his life, clearing the chasm with a little distance to spare. Evidently, he didn't hear Corey's whole encouragement.

Did I just...say that? Corey thought to himself, willing himself to not betray what he was thinking with his facial expression.

"What the..?" Ronno said. "Well, we saw it now didn't we..." Faline replied, giggling

"Hmm?" Riku asked himself, still quietly observing the negative/positive balance. The two non-overconfident male deer (one of which wasn't born a deer) gained some positivity. Faline did as well, possibly due to the fact Ronno's attention was clearly focused on the two males who showed him up...again. As for Ronno, he observed with slight shock that the negative energy was slowly starting to build, but only slightly. "Interesting..."
------
"I...I did it..." Bambi's next words, as he got back to his feet, only drove a stake straight into Corey's brain. "Brother, I did it!"

Swallowing back the wave of shock that nearly turned his perception of reality inside-out, Corey had no other option, and masking his internal emotions, he called back across the chasm: "I told you you could do it!" A very basic line; in fact, a cliche at worst, but he didn't have much up his sleeve.
-------
Drew, meanwhile, almost gagged.

"Drew? What is it?" Zach asked. "If this is about your worm dinner two days ago..."

"Not that, Zach, it's Corey and his new friend..." Drew replied. "I think they've accepted each other as brothers..."

"Wouldn't be the first time Corey's done it..." said Zuki.

"well, this time with an animal..." Drew corrected

"Technically, Saiyans are monkeys..." Zuki replied.

"Zuki, shut up..." Drew said.
---------------------------------------------
"Grrr..." Ronno's rage rose more and more.

"Hmm?" Corey sensed something, a power level close by rising. At first, he dismissed it as his friends starting to grow in power, until he realized that it was too close to be them. He turned around to see Ronno, staring in the brothers' direction with a look of poorly masked anger on his face.

Him too? Corey thought, unintentionally broadcasting his thought to Zuki.
-------
What is this guy? Ever since he's showed up... Ronno thought, recalling all the times he stuck up for Bambi. ........That son of a............a.......................

"Heh, looks like it's time." Riku whispered, getting ready to jump out, his keyblade appeared in his mouth.

Though, this was a mistake, as he prepared, his power was showing a bit.

"No...." Corey mumbled

"..........." Corey was internally debating on whether or not to help Ronno even though he hated him. He took a quick look back to Bambi, who seemed to be sensing it too, but in a different way.

Not that Corey explicitly knew that...

OKAY, OKAY, WHAT THE FUCK? BAMBI AND RONNO GET RAGE BOOSTS AND BAMBI CAN SENSE ENERGY? WHAT KIND OF FOREST IS THIS? he internally raged.
-------
PL Update:

Ronno: 8
Pissed at Corey (and Bambi): 15

"What the..?" Bambi said looking at the spot were Riku was, not seeing, but feeling.

Corey was watching bambi, then turned to the direction bambi was looking. At this time Riku pounced out, rushing at Ronno.

"Darn it..." Corey grumbled, completely unsure of what to do. He was torn between his hatred of Ronno and his duty to protect the relatively innocent-a bully is a bully, but he hadn't done anything totally evil as of yet.

Oh man, what would Sonic do? Corey thought. He then had a flashback of Sonic getting owned.

Um, um, what would Goku do? Corey then thought. But it was too late...
------
Tailsko clutched her head, not only seeing the event but feeling the overwhelming evil. She held back the scream, however.
-------
Zuki sensed what was going on.

"No way!" Zuki yelled, drawing Drew's, Zach's and Sonic's attention instantly...

"What...?!" Ronno yelled as he was struck with Riku's keyblade. "Release the evil in your heart!" Riku yelled as Ronno started to transform.
-----------------------------------------------------
"Ronno's been....." Zuki started
-----------------------------------------------------
Faline and bambi had looks of fright, while Corey galloped (Well, i guess thats what it is...) and head-butted Riku. Who's keyblade was sent flying, in which Zuki, and the others were coming from.

"We have to get there!" Sonic yelled. Off to the side, Thumper and Flower were just suddenly and randomly there. (And this author is epically foreshadowing a much later event...)

"What's going on?" Thumper asked. "That's Sonic, Zuki...where are they going?"
-
Riku slid to a halt, while Bambi decided to try and get over to where Corey was. He did not know who the silver fawn was, or what was happening, but he felt it wasn't anything good...
-
Tailsko tried to reach out to the Eds.

Double-D......Double-D...something's happened!
-
The Great Prince was watching over a meadow, when suddenly, he felt something...odd.

"That...vibration, again." He wasn't sure how to describe it, but he did feel something was amiss somewhere where he had left his son. "......" He thought for a few moments, trying to figure out what it was this time.

The Great Prince starting to move to the location.

---------------------------------------
Riku looked at Corey, then to his keyblade, which impaled the ground, the hilt in the air. Ronno's fur was darkening, and a purplish aura emitted from him. His antler's grew a few inches, and sharpened.

Corey's aura started to flare, but how long could Corey keep it up?

"It's probably the ones that can't help but get into trouble..." the Great Prince mused as he continued to run towards the disturbance. He recalled his conversation with Zuki, Drew, Zach and Sonic in that clearing. "I do not wish to know what goes on in their universe, but I have a feeling we'll soon all find out anyway..."
--------
Thumper and Flower decided to follow the odd pack, but had a hard time keeping up.

"We're almost there!" said Drew. "Is that....Ronno?" He then recalled what happened to him...
----------
"I didn't want to show this, but I'm left with no choice..." Corey said, keeping his aura up.
-------------
Ronno (Heartless, Form I): 20

In no time at all Bambi had a flashback to Corey making a fool of himself. "Is...this what you were really trying to do that day.....?" Bambi asked in shock.

Corey didn't reply, his eyes were on Rku, nothing but seriousness in his eyes.
------------------------------------
Faline started to back away, being the closest to Ronno. Ronno closed in on Faline. Kept closing in on her until she was at the edge of the jump.

He was about to strike, when he was interupted....

"Zuki?!" Faline exclaimed.

What is he? Bambi thought, still shocked. He remembered how casually Corey had played it off. "Never been in a fight"...well then, how would he know to do this?

"Tell me, what did you do to him?" Corey asked.

"I simply furthered the progress of his rage." Riku laughed.

"What..?!" Corey asked confused.

---------------------------------
"Damn you..." Ronno said....(What language...!!! O.o )

"Hmph, little mouth you got there..." Zuki said.

"His...rage..." Corey processed, thinking to himself. Is this what Drew and Zach were talking about?

"He did this to me as well..." thought Drew aloud.

"So Ronno's a 'Heartless' now?" Zach asked.

"Very few things could snap him out of it..." Drew said.
-------
He's acting on his lust...... thought Zuki.

"Your going to pay for ----" Ronno started "i've heard it all before..."Zuki replied.

The Great Prince was drawn to the disturbance like a moth to a flame.

"I'm getting closer..."
------------
"What's going on here, Corey?" Bambi asked, trying not to let his fear show.

"If we make it through this, I'll tell you..." Corey replied, aura crackling. He was waiting for Riku to make the first move, however.

Ronno got up, and started to rush towards Zuki, his head down. Zuki moved swiftly, and Ronno fell off the jump point.
