Kingdom Hearts: The Legendary 8th Princess of Heart

Chapter 20: Atlantica

(2nd Opening)

(Harmony's) POV:

After making up our minds on what to do, we left Traverse Town, heading out on our journey to discover more worlds, as well searching for Maleficent's hideout. But in order to do that, we need to get stronger, which is why we headed back to the Olympus Coliseum, to get more training from Phil. We even took part in a new tournament called the Pegasus Cup. Phil said that in order to prove our strength we had to take part in the tournament, to show if we're really growing stronger or not.

What shocked us was that in the final round of the tournament we had to go against Leon and Yuffie. Leon told us that we'd have to give it everything we got if my friends and I are going to take this journey seriously. But Yuffie said that it was actually because Leon got worried and wanted to make sure that we are fully prepared for whatever trials come at us. In the end, my friends and I won the tournament.

"Is strength the most important part of a hero?" Sora asks, as my friends and I get ready to leave for a new world.

"Well, what you really need is a strong heart," Phil says.

"A strong heart?" Luke asks.

"What does it take to have one?" Madison asks.

"If you have to ask, you're not a hero yet!" Phil declares.

"Stop talking in riddles!" Sora yells.

"It's not a riddle!" Phil yells back.

"Well, thanks for all the training. See you guys at the next tournament," I say, waving a goodbye to Hercules and Phil, with a smile.

"Take care," Herc says.

"And don't forget what I taught you kids," Phil says.

Once we make sure that the coast is clear, we get on our ship, and set off for the next world. Thankfully, it doesn't take long.

"Okay, guys, which do you want to hear? The good news or the bad news?" Madison asks.

"What're you talking about?" Asch asks, giving Madison an annoyed look.

"Well, the good news is, we're right in front of a new world. The bad news is...it involves going underwater," Madison explains. After pressing a few buttons, the screen shows a world completely surrounded by water. "Atlantica, a place where mermaids and mermen exist in a beautiful underwater kingdom. It's also a place where sea creatures, such as fish and crabs actually know how to talk."

"Okay, everyone. Prepare for landing," Donald declares.

"Land where? In the sea?" Sora asks.

"Are you nuts!?" Luke questions.

"Unless we somehow magically grow gills, which I doubt is going to happen, we'll drown!" Asch points out.

"Not with my magic, we won't. Just leave it to me," Donald declares, looking proud.

"Mieu?! But I can't swim!" Mieu exclaims, hiding behind Luke, looking scared.

Chibi whimpers, hiding in a corner. "Doesn't look like Chibi's that fond of water either," Madison points out.

I stroke Chibi's head to help calm him down a little. "Guess this is one world where we can't take Chibiterasu with us," I say.

"Mieu, why don't you stay here with Chibi?" Luke asks.
