Desert Wonderland [Open/Vanellope]

[Deleted]

"Everything seems blurry and dull. The lights fading in and out. Breath seemingly heavy. Cool and warm at the same time. Is this the feeling of Darkness overcoming or the ending of life." As Goofy opens his eyes and begin to look around all he could see was a dark blue all around him. a feeling of swallowed and spit out at the same time.

"Dad?" a small familiar voice cries out in the darkness to him. "Dad? Are you asleep again?"

His eyes slowly searching from where the voice emanated,"Maxi?" he says barely able to breathe let alone speak.

"C'mon you said you'd take me n PJ to the skate park." voice drifted into the nothingness. "C'mo....et's g.....ad....."

"Maxi...." Slowly reaching out into the aether, trying to bring the the embodiment of the voice closer to him, he begins to cry with the feeling of something missing as if a hole was ripped into of him. Suddenly, the urge to desperately breath overcame him. With all of his strength, he forced himself to sit up and he came out of water and gasped in all of that fresh air.

But how did he get in water? He coughed as he tried to remember but couldn't. Yet as he looked out at the horizon that's all he could see. An ocean that seemed endless and beautiful. It was full of life birds flew overhead, schools of fish swam though, even larger fish leapt through the surface what looked them trying to eat the birds. Though the water was cool, the sun beat on his back. He turned around to see nothing but a vast sandy desert, dry as the ocean was wet and just as vast. Dunes scattered the lands with a few tree casting off shade. Stone that were once probably great statues and monument sat in ruin buried by the sands of time and corroded by the sea. In the distance he could see a clouds of sand lifting and swirling in the wind as if a storm was brewing. He took his chances and stood from watery napping spot, he doubted that anyone would take it.

"Gwarsh, it's so hot" He would have shaded himself but it seems his shield and other possessions were gone. He looked around the beach for his items, since he had no clue where he was he had no idea if he would need to protect himself from monsters or otherwise. He never found his stuff he did however find a robot sitting out in the sun. "Hey there, how ya doin'?" He said in a nice tone, but it didn't respond all it did was swivel and turn a bit. "Uh, could you tell me where I am little guy." It still didn't respond but moved away a bit. Goofy thought to himself and circle the creation. “Maybe you know the way to the nearest town?” It still didn’t reply. It moved and swiveled but didn’t say anything. It began to move in a “random” direction away from Goofy. “Gwarsh, you don't have to be mean about it.” He followed the machine hoping it would take him to at least fresh water.

A heavy sun hung at its highest point of the day. Its rays kissed everything in the desert, leaving discomfort warmth which could cause serious harm to those unprepared. The golden grains of sands were always hot to touch, as where the solid stones of a dirty cream which once resembled buildings many years back. Now they sat in ruins, allowing the winds to blanket them with the golden sheet made out of sand. There wasn’t much life in Bikanel desert. Only the fiends were used to such temperatures, robots and those which controlled the robots – the Al Bhed. The humans had shelter. They were used to the heat, but were also cleaver and hid well from it during certain times of the day. This hour was that certain time of the day. Not a soul could be seen dotted around the ruined camp sites as they hid indoors and out of the sun’s harm. Far from the main camp site, a pixelated pattern slowly formed a few feet above the sand dunes. It started off small and gradually grew. Blocks of different hues of blue shifted rapidly as they spread out over two feet wide. Hiding in the blue pixels was code, numbers in fact mainly of 0s and 1s. They appeared and just as quickly disappeared. As though they were being typed, erased and typed again. Eventually, when the pixels of blue were wide enough they started to form together until they took shape of a small human girl. Once some kind of shape was formed, Vanellope spat out from the code and landed on the golden grains of sand on both hands and feet. Sand kicked up from the impact as her body sunk slightly into the golden blanket. She wouldn’t remain in such a position for long as the heat started to seep into the palms of her hands, forcing the glitch to push herself up onto her feet. “Ouch, sugary dog gobstoppers!” She cursed after feeling the heat against her pale hands. Brushing off the sand which clung to her knees and palms, Vanellope took a moment to scan her surroundings. Realising the heat would be too much for the young racer, Vanellope would try to spy somewhere with shade. Seeing none, she rolled her eyes and sighed. “Brilliant work, numpty. You’ve only gone and glitched your way to your own smouldering death!” Vanellope congratulated herself on her glitching powers. It would prove no good standing around in a blasted desert in direct sight of the sun. And so, she sought to find herself some shelter before she would become weak and unable to move. As she passed through the golden wonderland, Vanellope noticed old structures which peaked from beneath the carpet of sand, soon gathering that this was once a city before Mother Nature got hold of it. Not that the racer knew what Mother Nature was, she assumed this world was coding this way; which got her thinking what game she had stumbled into. There were no characters around, no racetracks, no villages, towns, no nothing. Had she accidently stumbled into an unfinished level? As she continued her tiring walk, she noticed sheets of metal dotted from here and there. The more she walked, the more metal debris could be seen until she came across a crash site. A large airship had dived bombed into the sand, leaving a trail of metal, plastic and glass in its final path. It looked as though it had been here for a good few months. The sand hadn’t swallowed it all completely. Give it a couple of more months and maybe this airship would no longer be visible. As sad as a sight it was, Vanellope smiled. Finally she had somewhere to hide from the heat. Wasting no time, she carried her small self towards the airship, finding a hole and squeezing herself within the shaded empty shell.

Beneath the steely willow, sun rains through metallic behemoths of old hanging overhead making silent creaks as the dry wind blows. The golden wasteland, that endlessly stretched onward, bared no proof of any living creature walking amongst the sands, other than Goofy’s and the little robot’s. The sun beats down on Goofy like a fiery rage as he walks from under the giant shadow casting...thing. Sweat develops over his brow and an all too familiar rumble occurs. “Garsh, I sure am hungry,” he exclaims all while rubbing his gullet, “I could go for a nice juicy steak, right little buddy” the robot didn’t respond or look to Goofy. “Well you don’t have to have the steak you know, You could enjoy a burger n french fries or chicken wings or pork chops.” The automaton still did not reply, but continued on in its general direction. “You must be one of those vegetenariens, meaning you don’t eat meat, right?” Goofy’s stomach began to growl a bit more from the talk of delicious foods, but he ignored it as best he could. “Maxi tried that once, n he’d make delicious burgers outta this white stuff call...too-fuu? But it was really good.”

As Goofy continues naming all of his and Max’s favorite foods, He notices the little robot, “guiding” his way, as vanished from his sight. Out of concern for it and his stomach, he begins looking around. Looking to the sands to see if he could find the tracks that would lead him to the automaton. But alas, the winds washed out their footprints in the sand taking away any leads to finding his guide and any chance of find any food.

Why did this have to happen? Was it so bad to want to nap on the ship. He knew that it wasn’t.

With no energy and his will to continue on drying under the desert sun, an enticing aroma wafts passed his nose. It was sweet, tart, and it filled the air. It lifted Goofy into the air and pulled him in like a an electron magnet. all feelings of happy thoughts filled his mind as he gently floated on the breeze. Nothing was as important as the aromatic wonders filling his nostrils. As he landed on his feet, he opened his eyes to a small craft. “Oh boy, maybe there’s some food still left inside” But to his surprise, though there was some food, it had been attached to the hair of a sleeping little girl. Where’d she come from? Was she in the same predicament? Would she mind if he ate some of the candy that's in her hair? All these questions filled his dazed mind as he reached down and picked two pieces of candy out of her hair. Sank alongside the craft in ecstasy from how delicious it had tasted.
