This will be an ugly updart. I hate it so much. D:

"Doubt it...." I muttered at hearing Megan's anger-filled death threat to the Captain, and she turned to glare threateningly at me. Which was actually, amazingly, accomplished.
As she held Solar Flare, her sepia eyes morphed into a bright orange, and, in a voice not her own, Megan turned menacingly towards Hook and cried,"Tsunami Fire!"
M- Myra?
That was HER voice.... But ... Myra couldn't possibly....
Megan was actually levitating inches off the ground, and that confirmed my thoughts: It couldn't possibly be her anymore. It was either that apparent-Keyblade's power, or ... it was Myra. With a helping hand. The brunette girl's new fire-colored eyes flashed dangerously, as if composed of fire themselves, and Megan's weapon was being spun expertly in her swift hands. With one final slash of the fire-based weapon, a wave of weightless magma flowed through a rip in space and dashed towards Hook, not daring to contact the ship for fear of burning right through the feeble wood. Hook's eyes went huge, and he was chased right off his own ship, into the freezing ocean water below.
The captain's peircing screech could be heard following the quiet ticking of a clock, but no one regarded it as important. Megan's eyes returned to their familiar cinnamon color as the fiery lava contacted the crashing sea, hissing steam rising up into the dark sky, and the brunette looked rather confused down at Solar Flare, then she turned her soft, bewildered gaze on me.
"What ... did I ..." She trailed off silently, face completely devoid of anything besides befuddlement.
I sighed lightly, stepping forward and gently tearing Solar Flare out of her protective grip, and the blade abruptly disappeared from my hand, not recognizing my unfamiliar touch. Glaring at where the Keyblade had previously been, I carefully led Megan through Hook's ship to where he had stored Sora's Gummi, said spiky-haired teen following closely behind. And I think Aozora was following us, too. By the time we had finally reached the chamber it was being held in, Megan was asleep in my arms, snoring softly, and our path was marked by the crimson blood dripping off Megan's injured arm. After each ruby drop would fall to the wood, it would glow like a flame's dying ember, then eventually diminish. Myra HAD informed us that the process couldn't work without her.
Megan couldn't do much of anything while she was still---
"
I'D just like to point out that I found her first." Aozora's smug voice drifted forward from behind me, and my eyes instinctively narrowed in annoyance at his arrogant tone of voice as he added egotistically,"You're all very welcome."
I held up in my tracks, turning to the platinum blonde-haired teenager and glaring menacingly into his smiling sepia eyes, effectively causing him to shy away and lose his conceded expression, forming an exaggerated crucifix with his hands.
"Okay, okay, I get the message." Aozora pouted deeply, eyes watering sadly, and he turned away from me with feigned sobs. "I know when I'm not wanted!" I think Sora really thought he was crying.
"Good, you can leave all the faster, then," I returned cooly, aiming to end this pointless conversation, and I started fixedly into the Gummi Ship. But a stubborn Aozora jumped into my path, causing my eyes to narrow even farther, if possible. The teen's emerald-streaked orbs pleaded to come, and I struggled to stay hardened; I wasn't going to travel with three idiots at once. I'm sorry, there's just no way. I'm not gonna let him on. He can beg and whine and plead and SQUIRM, but he's NOT coming.

I'm laughing maniacally on the inside. At Kaze. HAHA. I should get an award for my awesome acting skillz. BIG, SAD ANIME EYES ARE YOUR FRIEND. Seriously. I totally pwned him. Heh. But now he's glaring at me. It's really kinda scary, actually.... And... and ....
"...o-KAY, I get it, Kaze! You dislike me very much, and I hate you, too. But we can BOTH be her bodyguards, can't we? Now quit glaring." I returned Kaze's deathly look, only ... less intimidating.
The other blonde rolled his smoldering eyes, not responding, and I took that as a victory. Inwardly, I did a little dance of triumph.
That's TWO for Aozora, and ZIP for Kaze! Heh, I'm on a roll today.
My face fell as a roaring impact rocked the Gummi Ship, and a frozen Sora stared dumbfoundedly at the enemy ships cruising dangerously toward us. Kaze hurriedly pushed the paralyzed brunette out of the pilot's seat, quickly flicking several seemingly-random switches, one of which activated the warningly flashing 'fasten your seatbelt' sign. My eyes widened, and I rushed to reach a chair, but Kaze barrel-rolled too quickly. I winced as I collided with the wall, and Megan was shaken awake by a jaring impact with the ceiling, her shocked cry filling our ears.
"Sweet Jesus convention!"
NARUTARD!
Ahem.
Crimson lasers whizzed past the Gummi as Kaze abruptly pulled up, ascending in a ninety-degree angle, and then flipped us back so we were going in the direction we had come in a heartline twister-esque move. I took the brief moment of silence we had to thank the Gummi's walls for being so soft. Then it was back to eluding the Nobody ships on our tail with rapid descents, dizzying turns, retaliating laser blasts, and complicated patterns to mislead our followers. Right when I thought I could rightously puke, beautiful salvation soared into our view, and Kaze swerved toward the large castle with a small village on the opposite side, surrounded by a forest of vivid evergreens.
My eyes widened as we approached ever-closer to the planet,"What're you doing!? You'll crash right into the---"
"Shut up!" Kaze commanded, apparently knowing what he was doing.
Just before we reached the surface of the world, Kaze plunged the gummi right under the huge sphere, and several explosions were heard as the ships behind us crashed into the world itself. I turned my absolutely horrified expression on Kaze, who leaned back, exhausted, with a heaving sigh. Catching my look, the blonde folded his arms over his chest with raised eyebrows.
"It won't break apart, gravity'll keep it together."
"Can planets sue!?" I asked worriedly, hardly hearing Kaze but rushing to the Gummi's window, firing frantic questions. "What if people died!? I hope you have lotsa munny, Kaze! That coulda been Belle! Or ... Beast! ...or... Gaston! ...well, no one cares about him.... What if they hit Myra!"
At that, Kaze whacked me hard over the head with a tightly-clenched fist, and I shrieked loudly in pain, holding my throbbing cranium. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Megan raising her hand quietly with a patient expression, and I couldn't help but wonder why she didn't just ask her question.
"Yes, Miss Pyro," Kaze deadpanned, nodding at Megan in acknowledgement.
The brunette directed her raised hand to the nearby world awkwardly,"Uhm ... won't its gravity pull us in?"
"No." Kaze deadpanned certainly.
"Yeah, I think so...." Sora scratched his spiky head in deep thought.
"OHMIGOD, YOU'RE RIGHT." I was beginning to panic again, as usual. Oops.
Megan blinked doubtfully a few times at our range of answers for her simple question, and Kaze glared at Sora and I, both of us shrugging indecisively with incoherant mumbles of ill-conceived protest. Just as I was slammed into the wall once again by a roaring impact, I glimpsed a rocky surface outside the gummi's window, practically glued to the plexiglas and forcefully pushing us towards the nearby terrestrial.
Left the ground
In black and white
And when the plane went down
The colors all around
I know by now
The Margin's slight
And still I can't get out, she's all I think about, can't let her go
It's who you know
