Moana - Warrior's Journey (AU after the first film)

Chapter 26: Island of Fury

"Wow, it's a pretty long walk," Maui said as he climbed down the stairs.

"Much longer than other staircases," Moana admitted as she climbed down after him. "Wait, I think I see a light down there. We must be close."

"Yup," Maui said as he sped up. 

Moana peeked into the fourth floor. "It looks pure..." Moana said as she saw the shimmering water surrounding the large land in the middle of the room. There were stone bridges that led to the large land. There were wide opening on each of the logs that were floating on the fresh water. "I wonder what those are for," Moana wondered as she examined the whole room. 

"There are already bridges that lead us downstairs," Maui said as he pointed at two bridges.

"And the door is open over there," Moana said.

"Let's just go while no one is here," Maui said.

"Hmm I wonder if the last creature is in this floor," Moana said.

"I mean, if there are none in other floors, then we'll come back here," Maui said. 

"Good idea," Moana said. They both stepped into the room. Suddenly, they heard the door closing behind them. "Huh?!" She said as she looked back.

"What just happened?" Maui asked. "And look over there!" He pointed at the other side of the room.

"The door closed on us!" Moana said.

"I meant up there!" Maui said.

"What?" Moana asked as she looked up.

The enormous weird, ugly, intimidating bird(Imagine Pterosaur, or Ikran if that's easier) jumped out from the ceiling, and roared at Moana and Maui. 

Moana's instinct immediately told her to get on the log. This is gonna be ugly... just like the giant eel situation... Moana thought. She fiddled the giant eel's teeth that were hanging on her waist.

Maui transformed into a giant hawk. However, he was still less than quarter of the bird's size. Wow look at the size of that... this is not gonna be that easy... Maui thought.

Moana quickly looked around to find something she can use as an oar. She found a long, flat board and picked it up. Luckily, it was pretty light for Moana to carry. 

"RAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" The bird creature shrieked at Moana. 

"SHAAAAAA!," Moana hissed back as she made a warrior face. 

The bird flinched but it shrieked back. As it shrieked back, Moana noticed some ball of saliva coming out of its throat. She rapidly dived into the water. The water was so clear that she was able to see what was under the water. The water was so deep, but the stone island that the bird landed on was just floating along. It's wasn't the pillar that reached the bottom, it's just floating along the water... how is it staying still? Moana thought until her lung muscle wanted to relax. She let out a deep breath as she went above the surface. Maui was pecking the top of its head, trying to drill its head. But the head was harder than giant eel's skin. Maui's beak started to hurt. "Wait a minute... Maui! Turn fight as a shark!" Moana screamed out her epiphany to Maui.

"Wait, what?" Maui asked as he landed and turned back into a human.

"Trust me," Moana said. "This is just a land floating. There's plenty of room to attack sneakily."

"What about you?" Maui asked.

"I'll think of something," Moana replied.

"No, no, you gotta have a plan for yourself," Maui insisted. "I don't want you hurt."
