    It was an ordinary day on the Destiny Islands. Riku, a young purple haired boy, lounged against a rock near a small pool of water. He was enjoying a strange treat called 'sea-salt ice cream' which had recently gained popularity in the Islands, though nobody could really place why it was so popular. Sweet and salty. Ying and yang, perhaps? The compliment of flavors was indicative of the dual nature of man...Riku knew very well that darkness hides deep within the hearts of every man.

    Meanwhile, on a sheer cliff face about one-hundred feet away from Riku there stood two figures. One, a very attractive young woman with auburn hair, leaned against a tree stump staring out into the sea. Next to her, almost dozing off, was a young man with untamable brown hair and large, welcoming eyes.

    "You know, at this time last year we were almost dead. It's moments like this that make me question why we ever put ourselves in so much danger."
    "Kairi, we didn't have a choice. It was destiny...the chosen few, the selected heroes. Besides, we wouldn't be back here in one piece if we hadn't put ourselves in danger. Danger's my middle name."
    "You don't have a middle name."
    " know what I mean. Danger can be fun. Adds a little spice to life, don't you think?"
    "I was always left behind. I'm the girl, remember? I always got in the way."

    She turned her back on the boy and continued to stare out into the sunset. The boy looked perplexed.

    "Kairi, I never meant to insinuate that you..."
    "Couldn't handle myself? If you remember, I was able to wield a keyblade too, mister. So if the keyblade thinks enough of me to let me use it in battle, the least you could do is understand why. I'm not weak, Sora."
    "I just...never want to see you get hurt. Kairi, that would be the worst thing I could ever think of."

    At that moment, a loud crack shot through the ears of everyone on the Destiny Islands. A huge black portal appeared down by the docks, sucking boats and buoys and anything not nailed down into it. It only stopped when a large figure wearing a sleek, silver suit and a black mask with a silver smilie face on it stepped out. If it wasn't so ominous, the masked man could have looked comical - but no, this man was serious business, and for that reason he scared the hell out of the purple haired boy less than fifty feet from him.

    Riku shot up like an arrow.
    "Who are you? What do you mean by this?"

    The Masked Man looked at Riku. The smile on his mask stared deep into Riku's soul. He answered with a gesture toward the black portal.

    "As a general rule of thumb, I don't just hop into black vaccuuming holes with completely creepy strangers. Call me crazy."
    A shrill piercing laugh shot from the Masked Man. It sounded inhuman. It was definitely not human. The Masked Man extended his arms out and in in each hand a long, sleek weapon formed. These weapons looked odd - not quite swords, not quite axes - but one could glean just by looking at them that they held tremendous power. In one fell swoop, he shot at Riku, ending up behind him. Riku dropped his sea-salt ice cream and held out his right arm, flexing his fingers and awaiting a sensation that hadn't happened for at least a year.

    But that sensation never came.
    "What? C'mon, where the hell is it?"
    He couldn't wait any longer. Riku had to call for help.
    "Sora! Kairi! Help! I...I can't summon my keyblade!"

    Up on the cliff, Sora's ears perked up. He was about five inches from Kairi's beautiful face. He would have kissed her. He would have finally done it. But goddamn it all, someone was calling his name. He stood up and looked down at Riku, bent over in pain, next to a Masked Man.

    "Sora, what's wrong?"
    "Riku. No time to lose, Kairi. Forgive me!"
    And with that, he bounded from the stump up to the highest reaches of a tree nearby, grabbed one of the largest palm leaves he could find and parachuted down below to the oasis.
    "No way! Damn it, Sora! You don't get to be the hero all the time!"
    And she jumped from the cliff into a free fall. Suddenly, Sora jerked downward a little faster than he was...with Kairi hanging from his legs."

    "You know, on second thought, this was a terrible idea!"
    Sora smirked. "You think?"

    They hit the ground with little difficulty. Sora grabbed Kairi's hand and in that instant, something unexpected happened. A large keyblade formed between their hands. Actually, not one large keyblade. Two normal sized ones. The Kingdom Key and the Oathkeeper were now at their command.

    "Well, I guess if I am gonna be the hero this time around, you get to be my sidekick."
    "Sidekick? I'll pass." Kairi said. "But you know what? I just might need an official keyblade polisher when this is all through. Interested?"

    The two smiled and charged at the Masked Man. A valiant fighter, he was easily able to keep Kairi and Sora at bay with his Dual Keyblades. Swing after swing, all the two friends seemed to connect with were either his keyblades or the dirt. The Masked Man drew his weapons up, and in a flash of light swung down with such force that it knocked the blades from both of their hands, piercing the tree that Riku was leaning against not minutes before. The Masked Man unsummoned his keyblades, leaving his hands free to do the task they had set out to do - kidnapping Riku.

    "Come back here! Riku!" But Sora's screams fell on deaf ears. Riku and The Masked Man were through the slowly closing portal. Tendrils of darkness lashed out and slowly sewed up the dark hole in the Destiny Islands.

    "Well, it's now or never Sora. Looks like we won't be getting to finish that raft after all."
    Sora just snapped his fingers, dissapointedly. He grabbed Kairi's hand, gave her a peck on the cheek and the two of them sprinted through the portal into the unknown.

    If anyone really enjoys this prelude to KH2.5, please let me know and I'll continue the fanfic.

    Good, but you portrayed the characters horribly. Especially Kairi. You need to keep the characters true to the game.

    Sora fought with all his might to see through the darkness. He was falling, tendrils of darkness lashing out at him from all angles, and every time he had gotten his bearings straight, they flipped him on his head and turned him around once more.

    "KAIRI! RIKU! ANYONE!" He called into the darkness. Nothing. He pulled at his hair with anguish. "NO! I can't have lost them both again! This is impossible!"

    "Quit your whining, Sora."
    The voice was very familiar. One he had heard in dreams and nightmares. He immediately knew who it was, though he had a very hard time coming to grips with it.

    "Sora. Summon your keyblade."
    He did as he was told, and like the Red Sea before Moses, the darkness split and made way for the keyblade master. He could see a dreary path that lead to a portal similar to the one he had entered to get here up ahead. But there was no sign of Riku or Axel. No sign of Kairi.

    "Axel! Where are you? Are you alright? Are you...alive?"
    Axel laughed to himself in the darkness. "You know the answer to that one, bud. This is the dark realm. An eternal resting place for nobodies. Got it memorized?"
    " did I get here then? I'm not...I'm not dead, am I?"
    "Jeez, you're almost as dumb as Roxas. No you're not dead. How should I know how you got here? You're not even a nobody...or did you forget that, too? Sora. You're just passing through," Axel sneered. "Just pass through the portal and you'll meet back up with Kairi. She's a little quicker on the uptake than you..."

    But as Sora was heeding Axel's advice, a sight he hadn't seen in a year befell him. Six Dusk nobodies materialized around Sora and closed in. With a masterful slash, he dispatched three in one blow, but turned too late for the other three and was tackled, sending his keyblade flying. It hit a patch of wall like an arrow hitting its target, and started to become engulfed in darkness. Using his quick reactionary skills, he slid from beneath the dusks and then behind, quickly entangling them all with one another. But that was the least of his problems.

    By this point, at least twenty assorted other nobodies had spawned around Sora and the three dusks. Snipers and assassins, mostly. Far too many for Sora to take on by himself with the keyblade; completely impossible without.

    But with a flash of light, Axel dropped down from above, two flaming chakrams spinning in his hands. He gave Sora a knowing look, and without words they began a powerful limit attack. Spinning his chakrams overhead like a spinning top, Axel indicated to Sora to jump on. They bellowed "SPIRAL OF FLAMES!" as Axel let go of his chakrams, sending Sora on a whirlwind of flame and darkness, quickly dispatching all the remaining nobodies.

    "You know, if I had a weapon as cool as that keyblade I wouldn't wanna let it become engulfed by darkness. Get your blade, and get to the door. Got it memorized?" With that, Axel jumped off into the darkness.

    Sora did as he was told, and headed for the door at a full tilt, grabbing his keyblade from its place in the wall as he went. Before being sucked through the portal, he turned back and looked up into the indiscernable darkness. "Thanks, Axel." And with that, he was led through the portal into yet another new world.


    Kairi lifted herself up from the tall grass and brushed off her skirt. "Gotta work on those landings," She thought to herself. Kairi looked left and saw a giant, menacing castle. She knew at once that it was the castle where she was held imprisoned with the other princesses of light by Malifecent and shuddered. It had been a while since she saw that place. Quickly turning her back on the bad memory, she was greeted with a much more pleasant sight - a town full of hustle and bustle, shops, fresh and friendly faces and quite possibly best of all, food. She hadn't realized how long the trip through the dark realm had taken her, but she knew she had missed at least two meals and would have eaten her keyblade, if that were at all possible.

    The town square was cute. Small, but cute. She resigned herself to a local store and purchased some soup by bartering some pretty stones she had on her with a strange looking creature. A little bit like a cat, but with a red nose and squinty little eyes. Well, whatever it was, it was cute, she decided. Sitting herself down at an unoccupied table, she decided the best thing to do was wait for Sora. She was a patient girl. She had waited longer before.

    Finishing the final sips of her soup in a rather unlady-like manner, Kairi was taken aback by three small heartless running into the square. Most of the people screamed and ran for cover, but Kairi stood up.

    "Hm. Well, I've seen the boys do this a million times. Worth a shot." And she stuck out her hand, fingers clenched around an imaginary keyblade that sooner than not had materialized in her hand. She jumped and pounded the first into dust, and did a backwards slash, taking out the final two. "Easy!! Don't worry folks, it's ok!"

    Then, running at full force from where the heartless had come from came a man with long black hair and a red outfit. He looked gothic, and if it weren't for the headband holding some of his hair back, he would have been completely hidden from view in his mane of hair. His tattered red cloak swayed in the wind as he slowed to a stop. Taking his three-barrelled gun from a battle stance, he slid it into a hip holster and bowed to Kairi, ever so slightly.

    "Thanks. That was the last of them, for now. I've been chasing them from the crystal fissure, for crying out loud. You know how those things can get...if just one escapes, he comes back with a thousand more. Thanks for the help," said the mysterious man in red.

    Kairi smiled widely. She hadn't been thanked for helping in so long. In fact, Sora and Riku barely even liked to acknowledge the fact that she was strong. She knew the reason though - if Sora and Riku both thought she was able to take care of herself, what would the two of them argue over? She giggled and held out her hand to the stranger.
    "No problem, friend! My name's Kairi. Those...those were heartless, right?"

    "Yeah. Shadows. Weak, but...annoying. Hmph."
    "I'm sorry...I didn't get your name."
    "I didn't give it. Vincent. Vincent Valentine. The pleasure is all mine, dear." He bent over and kissed the back of Kairi's hand. She could feel something strange about his mouth, something she didn't recognize...but she adored being charmed, so she allowed him to continue for a moment before drawing her hand back to her side. She blushed. " haven't seen a boy about my age with crazy brown hair, have you? We got seperated recently."
    Though it was hard to see his face through his cloak, Vincent clearly smiled smugly. "Nope. Sorry princess, haven't seen your boyfriend. Nice meeting you though. Hopefully next'll be far more pleasant a circumstance." With that, he reached into his pocket, grabbed something that he threw to the ground creating a cloud of smoke. When it cleared, he was gone, leaving Kairi standing perplexed in the center of the town square.

    Sora bounded around the familiar streets of Radiant Garden. Stopping to give Hewey, Dewey and Louie high fives, he borrowed Scrooge McDuck's skateboard and was off to find Kairi. Axel said she was quicker than she must be somewhere in Radiant Garden, right? Sora didn't need to think much more about it when he almost ran right into Kairi standing in the center of the square.

    "Kairi! I'm glad you're alright. Don't do that kind of stuff - you scared me!"
    "Oh, and you don't think I was scared when you went and dissapeared for a year? I can't believe you boys! You know, I can handle myself! I don't need a babysitter."
    Sora winced. "I'm not trying to babysit...I just..."
    Kairi changed the subject very forcibly. "Fine. Where are we?"
    "Welcome to Radiant Garden. I've met a lot of people here. Lots of good friends. This is a pretty safe place to be."

    Kairi looked off to where Vincent and the heartless had come from. "If it's so come there are heartless running around?"
    "Yeah, I just took three of them out. Sora, have you seen Riku?"
    He bit his lip. "No. But, we both ended up maybe he's around here somewhere too?"
    "Radiant Garden, huh?" Kairi asked. "Very familiar."
    "Well, it used to be called Hollow Bastion. But the restoration commitee looks like they did a great job! I can hardly recognize the place."
    "Hollow Bastion? Isn't that where..."
    Trying to stave off the bad memories, Sora quickly interjected.
    "Yeah. Let's go down this alley. There's some friends I want you to meet."

    With the fresh memory of Vincent in her mind, Kairi only nodded and followed Sora down the alley.

    Vincent walked the long stairway up the castle, barely making a sound. Heartless kept spawning all around him, but none attacked. It was very rare for a heartless to show fear or cowardice in any way...most of them just attacked relentlessly and didn't have time to process emotions such as 'fear'. But these heartless...they were afraid of Vincent. They bowed their antennaes to him and scurried into dark corners where he wouldn't be bothered by them.

    After slamming through several doors, he reached a large room with a huge portal of multiple colors. Shaped like a heart and connected to a large computer terminal, it was an intimidating sight to say the least.

    But in front of the portal was a clear portal, perpetuated by permanent reflega magic. It allowed you to see through the portal...but not pass through. In front of that was a throne made of silver and gold. The person who owned this castle certainly spared no expense. A huge chandelier hung from the ceiling, speckled with dark shards, frost shards, thunder shards...pretty much any rare synthesis item you could imagine was decorating this castle. The owner had good taste.

    Vincent wasn't impressed. In fact, he grew weary of this castle very quickly. But if it wasn't for his latest message from Maximilian, he wouldn't have even showed up. He picked up a mini pocket computer from his cloak and re-read the message.


    He pushed open one more set of doors and immediately saw what he was looking for - a young man with long purple hair was hanging from shackles on the wall to the right. Vincent nodded at the boy, but he was unconcious. Continuing up the staircase, he stopped and kneeled in front of the man sitting in the throne.

    The man in the throne smiled at him. In fact, that was all he could do. His mask bore a cosmically unnerving smilie face, body clad in silver and black. He raised his hand to tell Vincent to rise, but Vincent spoke first.

    "Sir. Master Maximilian, sir, there is...a problem."

    Maximilian said nothing, but sat in silence, prompting Vincent to carry on.

    "Sir, it seems...there are more wielders. More people than we thought can harness the power of the keyblade. I met one such person just now, in the square..."

    Maximilian spoke one word.


    Vincent shook his head.

    "Then it is of no importance. The only keyblade wielder we need concern ourselves with is the Dark One. Who happens to be right over there."

    Maximilian gestured toward the wall which held Riku hostage not a moment before...but now the wall was empty, and there was no sign of Riku or his rescuers anywhere. Maximilian grew furious and summoned his two blades, pinning Vincent with one and holding the other a centimeter from his neck.

    "Find him. THIS IS YOUR FAULT. Do not come back without the Dark One."
    "Yes...yes sir." His face cringed every time he said the word. And with that, he turned, flipped his cloak and was heading back down the staircase, kicking heartless like a bully squashes anthills.

    Riku didn't say anything as he ran after the man in blue robes. The man had told him not to speak, just concentrate on running.

    It was very hard for Riku not to speak at this particular moment in time. In the last ten minutes of his life, he had waken up in what looked like a dungeon to stare directly into the face of a small, glowing, yellow fairy. After the fairy broke him out of his shackles, a man in blue robes with a huge blue hat and a beard that almost touched the ground was waiting outside the door for him.

    Not exactly a set of events that makes it easy for one to remain silent.

    Up ahead, the blue clad wizard kept flicking his wand toward the ever growing heartless. The yellow fairy stayed around Riku, occasionally sprinkling him with some dust...was it his imagination, or was Riku running faster than he ever ran before? He summoned his keyblade and slashed a few heartless that had managed to get close to him.

    "No! Put it away, son!" said the blue wizard.
    "Why? You know what? No. Thanks for rescuing me and everything, but I don't need charity." Riku stopped dead in his tracks and the blue wizard and yellow fairy continued on for a few meters before stopping and turning around.

    "Please, boy, continue running. We are not in a safe place." The ground shook with a thundaga spell cast by the wizard. "That should buy us a moment. My name is Merlin, and this is my good friend Tinkerbell. We rescued you from the castle and we need to get to my house, or I fear we shall be in grave danger."

    Tinkerbell flew around Riku like a planet orbiting the sun. Riku swatted at her like she was a bug, but when Merlin turned his head into a cabbage, Riku decided to stop being so mean and listen.

    "Friends. Understand, boy? Friends!"
    "Friends of who? Not me. I don't even know you."
    "You know what, boy? You're right." He turned Riku's head back to normal. "Back to the shackles with you...and my fairy partner and I will be on our way!"

    Riku bit his lip. "I'm...sorry. I just have a hard time trusting people. Please. Let's just get out of here."

    And they set off running once again. Unfortunately, a ground shattering roar shook them to their knees. The rope bridge not a hundred feet from them didn't snap and break - it charred and crumbled. Like it had been burnt in a flash - like a microwave. The three of them looked back at the castle - it was not a pretty sight. Heartless were pouring from all the windows and doorways, making everything in sight look like black sludge had gotten all over it.

    "Man, these are some fun odds. How did you manage to get yourselves into so much trouble?" said a voice none of them readily recognized. From across the chasm jumped a man with spikey blond hair and a sword that made Riku's keyblade look like a butter knife. He brushed his hair from his eyes, which didn't do much good, and unsheathed his sword.
    "Lemme guess - 'who are you?' Well save your breath - my name is Cloud."

    Merlin knew of Cloud from Yuffie and Cid's tales back at his house. He ran up to him and embraced him in a full hug. "Oh, Cloud, thank you for coming. Cloud is very strong Riku, he can protect us against anything!"

    "Almost anything." Cloud turned away as an image of a man with silver hair blinked into his mind. He shook it off and turned back to the three friends. "But this is no time for reunions. Do you see that?" As he pointed to the top of the castle. A large figure wearing a suit similar to Master Max's was standing on the topmost trellise. He wore another mask, but instead of smiling like Max's, it was flat. The mouth went from one side to another without emotion. His body was larger than Max's, definitely fat...but the way he jumped from the top of the castle and commanded the heartless to march showed that he had great strength.

    "Run," said Merlin.
    "But the bridge is out. How are we going to get over the chasm?"

    Cloud ran to Merlin, put him on his back and jumped across the chasm to the other side. But before he could return to Riku and bring him across, the ground slid from beneath Riku and he fell to his knees.

    "What is going on! Why the hell are there so many earthquakes happening right now? As if we don't have enough to deal with!"
    But his question was answered when he saw a rock rising up in front of him from the chasm. Beneath the top most spikey rock, there were more and more rocks, piles of rocks, some that looked like eyes, some that looked like arms, some that looked like legs. In a flash, they scrambled themselves to reveal the Earth Ripper - a massive heartless.

    Cloud quickly jumped at it from his side of the chasm - with a slash the heartless groaned and swung his massive club hand, knocking Cloud into Merlin with a thud. The heartless seemed stronger than Riku had ever seen before...but he realized it was just because it had been a year since he'd last seen combat. He smiled and summoned his keyblade.

    "And what are you gonna do with that? Sew him a sweater? You can't jump like I can. You're stuck over there!" cried out Cloud.

    As if on cue, Tinkerbell started rapidly spinning around Riku like a tornado. Suddenly, Riku's feet left the ground. He screamed out, but silenced himself.

    "Riku, my boy! Tinkerbell can keep you aloft while you dispatch the heartless! Just go for the eyes!" Merlin said as he cast firaga magic to keep the smaller heartless at bay around himself and Cloud.

    After a few awkward flips and falls, Riku and Tink flew up toward the Earth Rippers eyes.
    "Left! Left!" Riku yelled as he almost got squashed by the Ripper's fingers. It wasn't until now that he realized how large it actually was. It went all the way down to the bottom of the chasm, where there stood a massive army of heartless. Riku had a plan.
    "DOWN!" He yelled, and Tinkerbell complied, flying straight down and stopping right around the monster's knee. Riku slashed away at it for a few seconds without the monster fighting back - but the screams of pain and groans coming from the rock monster were sign that the plan was working.

    "I said the eyes! Blast it! Go for the eyes, boy!"
    "I got a plan, old man...would you let me-" but he didn't get to finish the sentence. Out of the hole he chipped away in the Earth Ripper's knee an eruption of lava spewed, burning Tinkerbell's wing and sending her off course, sending Riku into a free fall to the chasm below.

    Without words, Cloud hopped over the firaga spell Merlin was working so hard to maintain and shot down into the chasm after Riku. He streamlined his body with his sword out in front, moving faster than a dolphin through water. Grabbing the scruff of Riku's shirt, he plowed his sword into the Ripper's ankle, hanging from more than fifty feet above the ground.
    He swung Riku up to his level, both hanging from the sword.

    "Nice view, isn't it?" Cloud smirked. Riku plunged his sword deep into the other ankle of the beast...and the two of them held hands in between the legs and screamed "CHILLING SHATTER!"
    They seperated hands and started to run around each ankle, holding the sword and carving deep trenches up and down the legs of the Ripper. As Riku had expected, the lava started to spew in all directions, completely obliterating the heartless below.
    They met up near the monster's crotch and looked below at the lava wreaking it's havoc and decided to end it. Cloud dug his sword into the beast's belly and hung from it, holding Riku with the other hand. Riku cast the most powerful blizzard spell he knew down into the legs of the beast, cooling the lava into rock and then freezing it. Unable to support the weight of the monster, the legs shattered, sending it down as Cloud ran up it, still holding Riku with one hand. The now dead Earth Ripper fell on any remaining heartless as Riku and Cloud landed on the other side of the chasm with Merlin and the wounded Tinkerbell.

    Merlin had managed to defeat the heartless on this side of the chasm, and all that was left of a threat was the heartless and the Unsmiling Man back near the castle, growing nearer but still quite far away.

    Riku was trying to catch his breath. "Th...thanks Cloud. That...that was awesome."

    "Yeah. I know. Let's get back to Merlin's house. It won't take very long on Fenrir," and he hopped onto a badass looking motorcycle with gleaming silver and black metal all over it. With Cloud at the helm, Tinkerbell under Merlin's hat in the center and Riku riding on the back, they revved up and made their way back through the battlegrounds and toward the town.

    “You mean this place was rubble just a few years ago? It looks great!” Kairi commented.
    “Yeah, you’ll actually get to meet the head of the restoration committee when we get to Merlin’s. She’s really nice…and…bubbly.”

    Sora saw a very rare sight – Merlin’s door was wide open and nobody seemed to be around. Merlin was protective of all his belongings – magic was sought after by many people who wished to use it for the wrong reasons, and a clever person could take over a small planet with the kinds of things Merlin just had lying around. Plus, Cid didn’t take kindly to anyone touching his computer.

    “That’s strange…” Sora said half to himself, half to Kairi.
    “What is? That building?” Kairi inquired back.
    “Yeah…well no, I know the building…but it’s never wide open like this…”

    As Sora and Kairi drew closer to the door, they heard frantic mumbling and shuffling footsteps. As soon as they got in the doorway, they were bowled over by a frantic Cid carrying his staff, followed by Yuffie holding her ninja stars.

    “Sora! Great to see ya buddy! But, ain’t got time to talk!” Cid yelled over his shoulder, still clenching a piece of wheat in his teeth. He ran up the stairs toward the bailey.
    “Hooray! Sora, you came back to see us! Celebrate later!” Yuffie cut to the chase and bounded up the shortcut, meeting Cid at the top and together they barged into the bailey.

    “Wonder what’s going on? Kairi, maybe you should stay…” but his words were worthless. Kairi was already following Cid and Yuffie, Oathkeeper in hand. “She’s more nuts than Riku!” was all Sora said before he ran after his friends and into the bailey. What he saw when he arrived next to Kairi was unnerving.

    Leon, clenching his gunsword, looked up from the bailey at Cid, Yuffie, Kairi and Sora. Next to him was a green requiem. Just one.

    “Just one heartless and we’re running like it’s another war? C’mon guys…how rusty did you get while I was gone?” Sora smiled and ran his hand through his hair. Kairi rolled her eyes.

    “Not just one heartless. Two,” Yuffie said in a very somber tone.
    “Two? Where’s the other one?” Sora looked around in all directions, but Cid grabbed the top of Sora’s head and turned it so that he was looking directly at Leon. “But…that’s Leon! He’s a good guy!”
    “Was. Sora, a lot can happen in a year, buddy. Ya see, Leon got kidnapped by Pete and Maleficent shortly after you defeated Xemnas…Xehanort…whatever…and they turned him into one of them there heartless. Been givin’ the whole town a bunch of trouble…but none of us can do anything but hold him off ‘till Cloud shows up. He’s the only one who can challenge him enough to make him go back to wherever he’s hiding. Leon doesn’t like giving up…but his directives tell him that whenever he knows he’s outmatched to turn and run.”
    “How do you know all of this, Cid?” asked Kairi.
    “Well, Sora told you all about the MCP and the mainframe computer, right? Well, turns out that Maleficent found Ansem’s computer and started using it on her own. And since Tron is on our side, he opened up a link to some pretty vital information that we can access at the computer in Merlin’s house. It’s a heap of help.”

    The floating green heartless suddenly whizzed past Cid’s ear and towards the town. Sora tried to slash at it, but Yuffie held up her star and stopped him.
    “We’ll explain that later. Don’t worry about him. We need to hold off Leon.”
    Sora grinned. “I can take him! No problem!” Cid tried to stop him as he jumped to the lower levels of the bailey, but it was no use. He just turned to Yuffie, smirked, and followed Sora down.

    “So. Is this a coincidence, or did these pathetic fools actually send for your help? You know, you’re absolutely no match for me. I’ve stepped on stronger things than you, Sora.” Leon was never really friendly to Sora and his pals. Now he had an excuse.

    “Leon, I’m gonna let that one go. I don’t wanna hurt you – you’re still my friend.”
    Cid tapped Sora on the shoulder. “Actually, this is Leon’s heartless, remember? He’s not really Leon until he meets up with his Nobody, or until his heart is freed and his Nobody can reclaim it.”
    “So…we can just defeat him and go find his Nobody?”
    “There’s more to it than that. Kingdom Hearts got all screwed up the last time you went there…it no longer takes in hearts like it used to. Now, if a heartless is destroyed, the heart floats in a sort of…limbo. Much harder to find it that way. But, that’s why I invented this – the Heart Harvester. Basically, you can attach it to whatever weapon you slay a heartless with…and this baby will hold that heart until you release it…or it finds it’s Nobody, whatever comes first.”
    “Cool.” Sora took the smallish purple disk and touched the handle of his keyblade with it. Instantly, it seemed to grab hold of the keyblade with tiny metallic fingers.

    “Excuse me if I’m bored with all this talking, but I have important people to turn into Heartless.” Leon took off toward Ansem’s study, and Cid and Sora ran right after him.
    Leon pulled a small whistle out of his pocket and blew it as hard as he could as he turned the corner.

    Meanwhile, Yuffie was catching Kairi up on the details of Leon, Cid, herself and Radiant Garden. But the girl talk ended abruptly when a huge black cat rose from a pool of dark energy at the foot of the bailey. The cat was about twice as big as Yuffie and Kairi put together, and it had a hard metal shield protecting its head, in the shape of a giant spade. It’s four tails were also metallic, but spiked and gleaming with what looked like black sludge. The paws of the beast made skateboards look like playing cards, and each bore a huge metallic claw. The Pepper Felis raised his head so the metal shield now looked like a hat, and Kairi and Yuffie saw the worst part – the hundreds of metal teeth peppering the heartless’ jaw.

    “I thought Leon was supposed to run away when he was outmatched?” asked Kairi.
    “He did…but I didn’t say anything about him not calling any heartless to give us trouble instead…” replied Yuffie, as they bounded down together and attacked the Pepper Felis. Yuffie’s stars spun at super speeds, but were blocked by the metal head shield of the beast. “Okay, well, don’t go for the head.”

    Kairi nodded and did a spinning jump over the back of the Felis, slashing at its exposed back with her Oathkeeper. The beast yowled in pain and swung its tails wildly, connecting with Kairi’s back, sending her flying into the rock wall. Yuffie sent a diversionary star toward the beast's left side and threw the other one far over it, missing completely.

    “Kairi! Baseball!” was all Yuffie could say before the massive paw smacked her backwards onto her backside. Kairi got up and saw the flying star, soaring nearly overhead. She kicked off the wall and with all her might did a powerful backswing, connecting directly to the star, sending it into the beast’s fleshy right side. Yuffie had noticed something out of place in the bailey…Scrooge McDuck’s skateboard that Sora had left behind! She hopped on and skated right at the beast from the left, and laid back on the board like a bobsled, sliding right beneath the Felis. The Pepper Felis snapped his jaws between his front legs as he attempted to slice Yuffie with his tails through the back legs…but she was too fast. He connected…his tails slashed into his own unprotected face as Yuffie reunited with Kairi on the other side, pulling her star out of the beast on the way.

    “Great! Now lets get him while he’s vulnerable!” Yuffie slapped Kairi a high five as they ran to opposite sides of the Pepper Felis. Yuffie threw a star into the wall directly behind the cat, and one into the wall in front. Yuffie and Kairi grabbed each others hands and jumped on the cats back, and at their highest bounce screamed “FINAL FLASH!”, spinning away from each other toward the stars embedded in the walls. They hooked their feet between the stars and the walls, holding them firmly in place as they both cast powerful magnera spells. Instantaneously, the cat yowled and did an amazing set of involuntary flips as the magnet spells pulled his head one way and his tails another. In a flash of light, he was ripped apart and vanished in a puff of smoke.

    Kairi and Yuffie ran to the center of the bailey and gave each other a hearty hive five. Now, to find Leon and make sure Sora and Cid were okay…

    That’s what would have been the next thing on their list of things to do, if a familiar, fat and gruff figure wasn’t now standing in their way.

    “Well, well, well. You’se guys are stronger than I thought. Don’t matter though…Maleficent’s still gonna turn ya both into Heartless!”

    Pete’s massive belly shook as he laughed, blocking the girls from anyone who could save them.

    By the way guys, those of you who are being supportive, thanks so much. I really appreciate the kind words, they keep me going and keep the good ideas popping into my head!

    And to those of you who are being asking me to do a chapter where Sora and Kairi 'do it' no.

    Anyway, I try to update once a day during the week, so expect at least three more chapters this week! As always, ideas are more than welcome, and thanks for reading! Tell your friends!

    "They're gaining on us. Can't this thing go any faster?" Riku demanded of Cloud.
    "Maybe you wanna get off and walk? We're almost at the bailey anyway. After we get through there, we can rest at Merlin's house," Cloud retorted. " close can they possibly..." but Cloud clenched his teeth as he turned around and saw how close the army of heartless, led by the Unsmiling Man, had gotten. Riku could reach behind him and almost touch them.

    "What? How did they get so close? That's impossible! Fenrir is way faster than that!"
    Riku frowned. "Looks like you need a tune up."
    Merlin shook excitedly. "That's the bailey! We're almost there! Oh, there's Yuffie! Splendid! Who is that girl she's with?"
    Riku swallowed hard. "Kairi. I knew they'd follow me."

    As Cloud, Merlin, Tink and Riku stopped in the center of the bailey, they realized why Yuffie and Kairi were standing with their backs to them and not turning around...Pete was on the opposite side of the bailey, blocking their way back to town.

    "Kairi...I'm glad you're safe..."
    "I'm safe? Yeah, you were the one that was kidnapped, forget? I'm just glad that YOU'RE safe, Riku," Kairi said as she hugged him so hard he almost fell down.
    "Where's Sora?"
    "He went chasing after Leon with Cid," Kairi said, and noticing the confused look on Riku's face, she added "I'll explain that later."

    Suddenly, the green heartless from before zipped back into the bailey, almost knocking Pete off his feet. Pete may have been a leader of the heartless clan...but he was still a clumsy, stupid oaf.

    "Ah! Eddy! You're safe!" Merlin cried, as the green heartless flew around his head, almost lovingly.
    "Eddy?!? You named a heartless?!?" Kairi and Riku yelled.
    "I'll explain later. We've got company, friends."

    As he spoke, Sora and Cid came running like two dogs with their tails between their legs.

    "What's the matter boys? Couldn't handle little old Leon without me?" Cloud taunted them.
    "Oh no, it ain't Leon that was givin' us trouble. It was the hundreds of computer generated heartless that he created with Ansem's computer that made us fear for our lives...go figure."
    "RIKU! You're okay!" Sora ran to his best friend and they shook hands...leading into a giant hug.
    "Thanks for coming after me, Sora."

    "Aww...what a touching moment. Ya know, it's gonna make me kinda sad to see all of ya turn into heartless...on second thought, nah. It ain't," Pete laughed again, as a group of neo-shadows spawned behind him. At that moment, the army, led by the Unsmiling Man showed up at the entrance to the bailey on the left, and the computer heartless led by Leon showed up on the right.

    Sora, Riku, Kairi, Merlin, Tinkerbell, Cloud, Yuffie and Cid stood in a circle, all weapons out facing the threats coming from all sides. In a flash, with no prior planning, the heroes seperated and engaged the heartless on all sides. Riku and Sora bounded up the hill toward Pete and the neo-shadows, slicing and stomping the shadows like cockroaches, while Riku beat Pete into a corner.

    As Pete's cries echoed in the bailey, Cloud and Merlin dashed toward Leon and the computer heartless. Cloud and Leon's swords clashed in an epic sound, while Merlin used thundaga on the heartless around them.

    While the computer heartless were decimated, Kairi, Yuffie and Cid ran toward the Unsmiling man. Cid spun his spear around him, taking out a good number of the heartless, while Yuffie and Kairi engaged the Unsmiling Man, who was weilding two weapons that looked like sais - daggers with lasers coming from the sides. Quite impressive, thought Yuffie.

    Meanwhile, Tink and Eddy were flying from scene to scene, healing whoever needed healing the was hard, but they tried to conserve their energy as much as possible. Eventually, Cid yelled out "Got the last one!" as he did a front flip and smashed the final heartless on his side into oblivion. Sora echoed "me too!" as his keyblade soared across the bailey like a boomerang, taking out the final neo-shadow. Merlin smiled as he said "been done for a while, sonny."

    The heroes regrouped in the center of the bailey, Pete was rubbing his head, which now had a huge lump on it. The Unsmiling Man seemed stronger than ever, and Leon was trying to catch his breath.

    Sora and Riku were panting, and Cid and Yuffie were leaning on each other, trying to stand up. Kairi's arm got bruised by the Unsmiling Man, but besides that she was fine. Merlin's beard was burning at one end...but he stepped out the fire and was left with a small burn mark.
    Cloud returned to the center as well, but in a move very unlike him, he said "we need to retreat. It's no use. Even if we can get them weakened further, they'll just call for more heartless."

    Merlin nodded, and pulled everyone close. "I've never attempted this with so many people before...but luckily, we're not going far. Hold tight, lads," and with a piercing whistle and a flash of light, the heroes were transported to Merlin's house.

    Cid ran to his computer and immediately started pressing keys and slamming disks into every drive he could. He pulled a small laptop from a secret safe behind a poster in the wall, and connected a series of cables as everyone sat down wherever they could. Merlin stood up on his table and waved his wand. The doors and windows slammed shut with what looked like reflega magic, and they knew that they were safe in the house...for now.

    "The city is under a massive assault," said Kairi, as she looked through the window. It was true. The heartless were not playing around anymore - crashing through buildings and heading for...

    "The town square! Aerith, Hewie, Dewie and Louie! Scrooge! All the merchants! They don't stand a chance against the heartless!" Sora yelled.
    "Which is why we've been hiding out in Merlin's hangar while you were out fighting heartless. Don't worry - we've been safe." Aerith came from a door Sora had never seen before, behind the chalkboard. She was followed by the three young ducks, Scrooge and the merchants.
    "So, everyone's safe. Cramped, but safe."
    "Yes, but we won't be for long," Merlin said, unsmiling. He pointed to the window and nobody saw anything but darkness. The town was completely destroyed, and now the heartless were pounding on Merlin's door.

    "Cid, have you got all the computer information you can get from the database?"
    "One better, old timer...I'm uploading EVERYTHING, so we can access Ansem's computer from my laptop. Let's jet outta here."
    "How? We're surrounded by heartless." Riku pointed out.

    "Not the gummi hangar. It's right through here. Merlin led everyone into his secret room, which held a huge gummi ship, shaped like a zeppelin.

    "That'll fit all of us easy!" Sora said.
    "Yes...but I had to sacrifice the weapon and some of the speed gummi's to make it so large. We need to know exactly where we're going before we set out."

    But there wasn't time for that. Leon smashed through the door to Merlin's house with his army, Pete, and the Unsmiling Man behind him.

    "No time! On the ship, at once!" Merlin cried, as everyone piled on, Cid led the ship up through the opening metal bay doors and out into space.
    "There's one place in the universe that I know can't be taken over by heartless..." Sora mused.
    "Yeah, Disney Castle! Of course! The Cornerstone of Light protects it! Unca Donald told us all about it!" yelled Dewey.
    "Settin' a course for Disney Castle," Cid's voice echoed through the cabin over the intercom.

    Riku, Sora and Merlin sat down with Tink and Eddy flying nearby. Yuffie and Kairi went to the sleeping cabin with the merchants and the ducks to get some rest, while Cloud prepared some food and drink for everyone else.

    " called this heartless Eddy?" Sora said as Eddy nudged him in the face with his hat, flying around like a spaz.
    "Indeed. You've read the Ansem reports, I surmise? Well, they explain that heartless can be tested on...and while I certianly didn't want to cause as much trouble as Ansem's original study did, I did capture one heartless and manage to train him until he was a friend. Eddy is quite powerful, and though all he can cast is healing magic, he's very valuable in a fight.

    "Eddy, nice to meet you. I'm Sora. This is Riku, and our friend that's asleep in the cabin is Kairi."

    Eddy squealed and spun around Sora and Riku, signaling the start of an unconventional, but welcome, friendship.

    Sora sipped some tea on the bridge of the gummi zeppelin. How long was this trip taking? In the Falcon Peak, his preferred model of gummi, traveling from Radiant Garden to Disney Castle wouldn’t have taken more than a day, but the zeppelin seemed to be taking almost a week. He looked out at the stars, and almost spilled his tea when he noticed what was up ahead.

    Disney Castle. In all it’s glory, he saw the planetoid and excitedly ran through the ship, telling everyone to get ready to disembark.

    But as he was in the sleeping chambers, waking up Scrooge McDuck with some minor difficulty (a few whacks to the head with a cane), the ship rocked with a shudder that could only mean bad news.

    “Sora, what’s going on up there!?” yelled Cid, up the ladder to the bridge. But Sora responded from behind him.
    “I don’t know! I was waking everyone up…”
    “Sora! You’re on lookout! The ship is on auto pilot and all you had to do was watch for any enemies!” Cid was furious. Instead of yelling at Sora, which he really wanted to do, he ran up the ladder to the bridge and turned on the intercom.

    “Attention all crew of the Red Zeppelin, we are under attack from six unidentified ships. Repeat, unidentified ships are…wait a sec…these ships have heartless insignias on them! They’re heartless ships, repeat, heartless ships. All crew, meet in the main hanger for defensive tactics, immediately!” The line went to static, and that meant Cid was already on his way to the hanger.

    The ducks and merchants stayed in the sleeping cabin on Aerith’s request. No sense in shaking up the whole ship. But Aerith, Yuffie, Cloud, Riku, Kairi, Sora and Merlin were in the hangar moments before Cid.

    “Okay, listen up and listen good, ya’ll. These things are pretty big, but they got no shields. I wasn’t able to run a diagnostic on their weapons…if I had a little notice I might have…” Cid trailed off as he pulled huge white sheets off of big hulking masses in the gummi hangar.
    Sora hung his head in shame.
    “Now, these are Gummi Mechs. Kinda like Teeny ships. I been tinkerin’ with ‘em for a while, so for pete’s sake don’t get ‘em blown up! They respond to almost every movement a person can make…except for some of the silly ones.”
    “So basically…just fight like we’re on land?” asked Riku.
    “Yep. Only…there’s no gravity or anything…so it’ll take some getting used to. But I only got three of em, so who’s gonna go out? Make it snappy, we’re taking heavy damage. I gotta head back up to the bridge, Aerith, you’re my co-pilot. We can’t take much more fire, so move it, boys and girls!” Cid and Aerith ran through the sliding door and up the stairs.

    “Well, I’m going.” Cloud said arrogantly, as he approached the black mech. It was about three times his height and had yellow markings all over it.
    “Heh. Me too.” Riku said, already climbing into his mech. His was blue with orange marks.
    “I’ll go too,” said Sora. But as he looked up at the remaining red and silver mech, he saw it wave down at him…just like Kairi.
    The booming voice of the mech said “See ya later, procrastinator!” as the three mechs flew out the bay roof and into space.

    Sora stood dumbfounded in the center of the bay, while Merlin cracked a smile on one side of him and Yuffie outright laughed on the other.
    “All right, all right. Cut it out,” he said, as he stamped off toward the bridge to see if he could help Cid.
    “Ya know, Merlin, some day he’ll realize that she’s every bit as strong as him.” Yuffie said, still smiling.
    “Yuffie, my dear, if I could cast a spell to make him realize, I would. But he’s got to do it on his own.”

    Meanwhile, in the cold recesses of space orbiting the Disney Castle, the black and yellow mech piloted by Cloud was doing some serious damage on two of the silver heartless ships. Cloud was having a hard time not having a sword at his disposal…so the first thing he did when he ripped the wing off the first ship was bend it into an appropriate sword.
    “Much better,” boomed the mechanical voice, as Cloud slashed clear through the second heartless ship.
    Kairi wasn’t doing too badly herself. She managed to kick off of one heartless, go into a rapid spin and drill through two of the others. She was also the first to discover the repeating blasters located in the wrists of her ship…the heartless on the opposite end of that wasn’t too pleased…
    Riku did more damage to himself than any heartless ship. He couldn’t figure out how to let go and let the ship work with him, so he spent a good deal of time spinning and knocking into asteroids until Cloud and Kairi towed him back into the hangar.

    Cloud and Kairi jumped down from their mechs and nodded at each other, smiling. Riku jumped down from the mech and brushed the hair out of his face. He wasn’t smiling. “Can it, you two. I just got a little…confused…in there…”
    “Wait, Cloud, when you’re confused, do you do this?” Kairi said, as she proceeded to spin around the room, acting drunk, until she fell into Riku’s arms.
    “Very funny, Kairi.” He smiled and pushed her away. “Now let’s go see King Mickey and the others!”

    The three new pilots ran into the cabin to find everyone but Cid relaxing.
    “Cid said he can have us landed in Disney Castle in no time. You guys were great out there! I watched the whole thing!” Aerith gushed.
    “Yeah, you really kicked but out there, Kairi,” Sora smiled. Kairi blushed and gave him a hug. “And Riku! What was that? Some kind of interpretive dance?” They all had a good laugh as Cid’s voice rang through the intercom.
    “Now disembarking, Disney Castle. Please keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle until we have come to a full and complete stop. Thanks for riding Red Zeppelin!”

    Don't worry, Kingdom. Here's an [face_shock] moment for you.

    And trust me, I know it seems I'm sticking with the characters everyone knows...but I'm planning on hitting a LOT of Disney worlds that were never even touched on in the first two games, as well as going back to all the old worlds. I plan on at least one well-known character from each world actually getting turned into a heartless...and Leon is NO sign of what is actually to come.

    I'll post two chapters today, just to get your tastebuds working. Lemme know what you all think!

    The ship clicked and whirred as it finally stopped in the main hanger in Disney Castle. Sora was the first one off the ship, running like a boy on Christmas morning. The first two friends he saw were Chip and Dale, working on ships in the hanger.
    “Sora!” chirped Chip.
    “Good to see you, pal!” squealed Dale.
    They ran up his legs and hugged his head.
    “Hey guys, how’s everything? Is the King around?”
    “Of course, everybody’s actually in the main audience chamber…they’re giving awards to Donald, Goofy and King Mickey for the service they provided in defeating Organization XIII!” said Dale.

    Sora smiled wider than he had all day. “Good. They deserve them.” He patted the chipmunks on the head as he ran off toward the main audience chamber with all his friends from Radiant Garden at his heels. Kairi and Riku were keeping up with him as he pushed open the door to the audience chamber.

    There he was. It was the first time Sora had actually seen King Mickey seated in his throne, with Minnie by his side. Pluto pranced around the room, as Jiminy Cricket sat on his back, holding a small pad. Donald, wearing bright new mage robes, was walking up towards King Mickey. Next to him was Goofy, who was wearing a suit of leather similar to his previous outfit, except it was outfitted with metal pieces in some parts that made him look rather like a knight.

    He knew it was an important ceremony, but he couldn’t hold it back any longer.
    “Goofy! Donald! King Mickey!” he blurted out, covering his mouth. But he held out his arms and before he knew it, they were wrapped around the duck, the dog and the mouse.
    “Sora! Boy, it’s been a while!” Goofy positively beamed with delight.
    “It’s an amazing coincidence that you’re here, Sora,” said Mickey. “We were having a ceremony to honor the heroes that defeated Organization XIII, and we just so happen to have three pendants with the names Sora, Riku and Kairi on them.”

    The friends all gathered in the audience chamber. Riku, Kairi and Sora put on their Hero Pendants, which seemed to increase their strength, and had a great time talking to all of their friends. It took almost a full hour until the unsettling truth dawned on them in the form of Aerith.
    “I really don’t want to be a stick in the mud…but we’re not here on a pleasure trip. Radiant Garden has been overrun and nearly destroyed by heartless.”
    As she went on to explain about Pete, the Unsmiling Man and Leon, the residents of Disney Castle grew more and more shocked. When she finally finished, King Mickey stood up.

    “I hereby welcome all residents of Radiant Garden to live in Disney Castle and continue their daily lives just as they left off. Any service that my court can be of to you, you have at your disposal,” and Mickey snapped his fingers, signaling hundreds of bewitched mops and brooms to the center of the chamber. The merchants squealed with glee as they, Scrooge and his nephews headed off into the courtyard to begin construction.

    “King Mickey, is the cornerstone of light safe?” Sora asked.
    “Of course. Donald has even grown so powerful that he was able to put a shield of permanent reflega magic on it, so that it can’t be touched.”
    “Good. Just want to make sure that we never have to deal with another unexpected invasion.”

    Sora, King Mickey, Riku, Kairi, Donald and Goofy headed out to the courtyard. It was an amazing sight – in less than a few hours, it looked better than Radiant Garden, thanks to the help of the magical brooms and mops.

    Yuffie waved cheerily at them as they came into view. “I guess I gotta get working on some new official restoration committee badges…these brooms and mops did almost everything for us! Thanks, King Mickey!”

    There were accessory shops and food stalls, synthesis workshops and armor stores. Hewie even opened up a weapon shop, where Donald purchased a Soul Catcher Wand and Goofy got himself a Bounce Shield. Sora stocked up on potions and ethers, as Kairi talked to the cute creature she met before.

    “You’re cute!” she said.
    It mumbled something in cheery, but completely foreign gibberish.
    “Well…I just wanted you to know that you’re cute…that’s it, I guess…” but the Moogle pointed at her purse, from which she pulled three small glassine stones. The Moogle threw them into a small furnace.
    “Hey!” Kairi protested. But the Moogle then pulled out a shiny, sparkling gold bangle. Kairi slipped it onto her ankle and smiled, kissing the Moogle on his cheek. Even if it was an alien…the Moogle still blushed.

    Aerith, Cloud, Yuffie, Merlin, Cid, Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald, Goofy and King Mickey sat at the main table in the new Disney square for dinner that evening. It was agreed that everyone could now call Disney Castle ‘home’. They clinked their glasses, made a toast and retired to their new chambers within the castle. Sora and Riku, on the other hand, grew restless that night and decided to go check out the cornerstone of light.

    The door that led to the Timeless River was still there, as was the beautiful green stone. But as Sora tested the reflega magic by slamming his keyblade into it – pretty sturdy, he discovered – he heard a ‘wak’ from the door behind him.

    “Sora! What are you doing out this late! You should be resting!” Donald yelled and ran up to the boys. Goofy followed behind him, sleep in his eyes.
    “Gawrsh, you could get in trouble. Being down here so late at night…Minnie and Daisy would be pretty mad if anything happened to ya…” Goofy said sleepily.
    “Relax, guys. It’s just me and Riku.”
    “Yeah. Just checking things out. I mean, if this is gonna be ‘home’ for a while…” Riku said, trailing off.

    The four friends heard some frantic slamming. From where? The main door was too far away to make such a loud noise. The pounding of footsteps got louder, and they heard a funny little voice screaming at the top of it’s lungs.

    “Ahhh! Ya gotta help, ya gotta! Is there anyone in this door?” screamed the voice. Suddenly, the door to the Timeless River popped open, revealing the source of the voice.

    A small, green monster, no more than three feet tall, stood, panting in the doorway. He had one large, bulbous eye and thin, spindly legs and arms. Behind him wasn’t Timeless River, though…it was a room that looked like it belonged in a factory. Hundreds of other doors peppered the wall behind him. The little creature breathed a sigh of relief.

    “Please, ya gotta help me! There’s some crazy things happenin’ over here, and I don’t know what’s goin’ on! I’m just glad to find some humans who aren’t scared of me! Jeez, you wouldn’t believe what irony that is.”

    The four friends looked at each other, perplexed.

    “Look, I’ll explain everything later, but please…if you can help when it comes to fighting big scary black things with twitchy antennas and ones that MELT into the GROUND, we could really use your help!” said the monster.
    “Heartless?” asked Goofy.
    “Sounds like it…” said Riku.
    “That’s right up our alley!” yelled Sora, excitedly.
    “Oh good, great, ya know, I’m not so much interested in what they’re called, so long as they stop eating my friends! Please!” cried the monster.
    “Calm down, we’ll help you.” Donald said.
    “Good. Calm isn’t exactly what I do,” said the monster, who took a deep breath. “My name is Mike. Follow me!”

    He led the way through the door, as Sora, Riku, Donald and Goofy followed him into the Scream Factory.

    Mike ran at a full tilt down the main corridors connecting to the factory. It was an amazing sight – a huge screen with pictures of assorted monsters, and what seemed to be a large scoreboard. Next to that was a map of some planet none of them recognized…

    “Where are we?” Donald demanded, trying to keep up with the little green man.
    “Yeah, this ain’t Timeless River…” Goofy added.
    “Ya see, this is Monstropolis,” said Mike over his shoulder. “We power our city through the energy of screams. This is the scream factory, and we can access any door in the universe simply by putting the copy in these machines and stepping through.”
    “Why would you want to access any door in the universe?” Sora asked.
    “I’m getting to that. Mostly we keep closets on file…but we have a few special ones like the door that led me to your castle. After we go through the door, we scare whatever little kid is inside and use the screams for energy,” Mike replied.
    “Sounds kind of…mean…” Riku trailed off, keeping up with Mike as they rounded a corner into what looked like a reception area.
    “Oh, yeah, let’s take morality lessons from the species that eats pretty much anything lower than it,” Mike rolled his eye. “C’mon, the troubles out on the street! We’re almost there!”

    Mike stopped at the large double doors leading into the factory and pushed them open, to reveal a huge city full of colorful buildings and even more colorful monsters. But most of the monsters were running from the scene in the center of the street – about fifty neo-shadows and fifty large bodies were bouncing around the street, causing much mayhem.

    The worst part of the scene, though, had to be the ominous figure standing in the center of the street, directing heartless all around him. He was tall and spindly, wearing a silver and black suit and a mask. The mask bore a frown…deep, dark eyes…and Sora knew that he was in league with The Unsmiling Man and the Masked Man from the Destiny Islands.

    He turned and saw the five friends coming from the building and raised both his hands. At that moment, every heartless in town stopped, turned on their heels and proceeded to run directly at Sora, Riku, Donald, Goofy and Mike.

    “Whoa! I hope you guys know what you’re doin’!” screamed Mike as he hid behind Riku’s legs.
    “Hmph. For a monster, you sure scare easily…” Riku and Sora extended their hands to call forth their keyblades…but only Sora’s came. Riku dropped to his knees and cried out in pain.

    “Ah! I can’t summon my keyblade again! Just like on the Islands…I don’t know what it is…” Riku said, pounding his fists on the ground.
    “It must be those guys with the masks…” Sora decided. “Just stay back, Riku. Donald, Goofy and I can take care of these guys.”
    “You know, just in case you cant…I should know who at least tried to save my butt,” Mike said, quietly.
    “Sora, Donald, Goofy and Riku.”
    “Thanks, guys. Great to meet you. Now attack!” Mike pointed at the heartless like a general during war.

    But that was easier said than done. The large bodies kept reflecting attacks, while the neo-shadows melted and spawned behind them. It was a lethal combination that left the three heroes outmatched.

    Mike bit his lip. “I’m gonna regret this…” he said, as he ran into the fray to help the three friends. He was brandishing two small nunchakus, spinning them around himself and almost taking out his eye several times. When he made it to the center, where Sora, Donald and Goofy were panting, having nearly taken out half of the threat, he stood back to back with Sora.

    “I hope there’s a plan b…” Mike said nervously.

    Then, out from an alley next to the scream factory, came a loud crash and the sound of a cart being pushed at a rapid speed. The friends looked to the sound to see a huge blue and purple monster with shaggy fur running at them at full speed. He was snarling and pushing a cart full of yellow canisters. He had two small yellow horns and teeth that could rip through metal.

    “Is this guy on our side?” said Donald.
    “Sully! You bet he is!” Mike cheered and pumped his fists in the air. “Sora, just follow my lead, okay?”
    Sora nodded. Goofy and Donald flattened themselves out on the ground, protected under Goofy’s Bounce Shield.

    Sully stopped the cart about one-hundred feet away. “Ready, Mike?” he yelled.
    “Ready! Sora, start spinning with that funky sword!”
    Sora went into a rapid spin, like a top, while Sully threw the yellow canisters toward Mike.
    Sora and Mike unleashed a powerful limit attack, and they screamed “PLAN B!” as the canisters flew overhead, Mike rapidly knocked the locks off of them with his nunchakus and sent them into Sora’s spin, sending them into all directions of the crowd of heartless. Piercing shrieks and screams filled the city, as the heartless seemed stunned and in pain as they got hit with the shockwaves.

    As soon as all the canisters were gone, Sully signaled Mike with a thumbs up and Sora, Mike and Sully yelled “SCREAMING SMASH!”

    Mike held his nunchaku into the vortex formerly known as Sora, got picked up and spun around rapidly as Sully ran around the outside in the opposite direction. Mike let go and flew like a boomerang, smashing heartless while Sully rammed them from behind. As Sora stopped spinning and regained his balance, the last of the heartless were wiped out by Mike and Sully.

    Mike started doing a victory dance, but Sully tapped him on the shoulder and he looked where Sora, Riku, Donald and Goofy already were looking. The Frowning Man walked up to them with a familiar sway in his step, and cackled.

    “What do you want?” Sora said intensely.
    The Frowning Man pointed at Sully.
    “Strong. He’ll make an excellent heartless. Master Maximilian will be pleased.”
    “One of them? No way, pal. I ain’t going nowhere,” Sully growled.
    “You know, I think your attitude will change when I show you that I have the upper hand,” he said as he snapped his fingers. A neo-shadow rose from the ground, clutching a little purple monster with googly eyes and a big mouth…something looked odd about it…
    “Boo!” Sully said.
    “Gawrsh, it’s gonna take more than that to scare ‘em away!” Goofy said.
    “No, Boo! The little girl! Put her down!” Sully snarled.
    At that point, the little monster opened his mouth to reveal…a girl. It was a little girl with black ponytails inside the monster costume, and she reached out, making sounds that nobody could understand.
    “Give her to me,” Sully said.
    “On one condition…you come with us to become a heartless slave,” the Frowning Man bartered.
    “Fine. I’ll do whatever you want.”
    “Are you nuts? Sully, you can’t go with them! They’re gonna turn you into one of those…those things! C’mon, pal, let’s just fight him for her!” Mike yelled, putting up his fists.
    “And risk hurting Boo? No,” Sully said calmly, as he walked straight up to the neo-shadow, took Boo and handed her to Mike. Immediately after his hand was off the little girl, the neo-shadow seemed to melt around Sully, sucking him down into a black hole.

    Echoing in the streets, they heard Sully yell out “Don’t worry, I’ll fight my way out!”
    “I wouldn’t count on that, street-rats,” said the Frowning Man, as he vanished off into a black portal that had opened up behind him.

    Heh, not that it matters, but I'm 21 Kingdom.

    I manage to write because:
    1)I have terrible sleep habits and sometimes stay up way too late continuing to write.
    2)My job requires me to work at my computer at home for eight hours a day, so I can jump onto my story whenever I really want.

    So yeah, I have a good time writing this stuff. I only wish more people were following mine like they're following Ojex's...except without all the flaming on that board. Lol.

    If you guys have any requests for Disney worlds, shoot 'em out there. I have a pretty good idea where I'm going next, and then after that, but ideas are always welcome :)

    Thanks for the input. What I'm doing is trying to augment the characters just a little, it's a year after KH2 wraps they've grown and changed just like they did between KH1 and KH2...but that's the second comment I've gotten on character so I'll try to keep it real from now on.

    Which characters are coming off as 'not themselves'? How do you think I should fix it?

    “Kitty!” Boo cried out. Tears began to well in her eyes.
    “No, kid, he’s gonna be fine! Don’t cry! Please don’t cry…” Mike put his hand over her mouth to keep her from crying, but all that did was make her cry louder.
    “Guys, if we can’t keep this kid quiet, we’re gonna have a big problem on our hands!” Mike whispered to Donald, Goofy, Sora and Riku.
    “Whaddya mean?” Goofy asked.
    “Look – Monstropolis is otherwise referred to as “The Hidden City”, as in hidden from humans. As in, if a human SOCK makes its way into the city, the cleanup crew blows it up…so imagine what would happen if they found out about Boo here! I don’t really wanna think about it myself…but it wouldn’t be pretty, I can tell ya that much.”
    “So…we need to get Boo back to her room? That should be easy with that door system you guys have…” Sora thought.
    “If you only knew, kid. Let’s at least get to the factory…we can-” Mike got cut off by a siren honk and flashing red lights.

    “2319! 2319! A human intruder! This is not a drill!” yelled a voice.
    “Great…RUN!” Mike screamed, as several beings of all shapes and sizes lapelled down ropes into the center of town. They wore yellow decontamination suits and had several scary looking devices that made Boo wail even louder than before.

    “You can cry louder? How is that possible?!” Mike screamed, as he led Goofy, Donald, Riku and Sora back into the scream factory, carrying Boo in his arms.

    The men in yellow suits were gaining on them, throwing nets and metal domes toward them in hopes of catching the intruder. But Sora and Riku kept slicing through the nets and deflecting the domes as they ran around more corridors than they could count. Suddenly, they all stopped running.

    “What’s going on, Mike?” Riku said nervously, facing the men in yellow suits.
    “Heh, ya know, I don’t exactly know my way around this floor as well as I used to…”
    Mike said as he put Boo down on the ground. “I guess they haven’t put a door here yet…”
    “Dead end? You led us into a dead end?” Donald quacked.
    “Sorry, featherbrain, I didn’t do it on purpose! Jeez, gimme a break…we got bigger problems!” said Mike, pointing at the men in yellow suits, slowly walking toward the six of them.

    Sora and Riku called forth their keyblades.
    “Glad to see it worked this time…” Sora said to Riku.
    “Ya know? Me too,” Riku smirked as he dove at the first of the seemingly endless men in yellow suits, knocking him back into the others.
    Boo peeked out at the fight from behind Goofy’s legs.
    “Don’t worry, little girly…Sora and Riku will protect you!” he smiled, but Boo still looked worried.
    “Kitty?” she said.
    Mike walked up and put a hand on her shoulder. “Not yet, Boo…we’ll find him soon.”

    She smiled for the first time that night. But the smile was short lived as Sora flew by, knocked back by the army of men in yellow suits. Boo was caught off guard and screamed, sending a power surge through the corridor and exploding all of the lights.

    “Perfect! Boo, you’re a life saver! Quick guys, this way!” and he grabbed Boo up, led the friends back through the pitch back corridor right past the decontamination crew and into a well lit hallway.

    “We’re only a few halls from the main factory floor! All I gotta do is find Boo’s door and we can drop her off! Sully was working on it just today…so the door should still be around somewhere…” Mike trailed off, taking a left through yet another corridor.

    “Sir, I hear them down this hallway!” echoed down the corridor and into the friends’ ears. It was one of the de-con crew members.
    “Great, they caught up!” Riku said sourly.
    Suddenly, a door a few paces ahead slammed open, revealing a large, grey, ugly monster. He had bulging eyes and many pointy legs, like some kind of grotesque, overgrown spider. Even given this appearance, he wore a very professional business suit and tie, and spoke like a true gentleman. Everyone but Mike stopped in their tracks, and Mike tried to hide Boo behind his back. But the monster had already seen her. All he did was smile.

    “Mr. Waternoose, sir, I…I can explain!” Mike stammered.
    “You know this guy?” Sora asked over Mike’s shoulder.
    “He’s the boss…” Mike gulped.
    “So formal! Henry J. Waternoose, lads. Quickly, in here,” the monster hurried them all into the room.

    Mr. Waternoose closed the door and smiled warmly at the friends. “Now, don’t you worry, Mr. Wazowski. I understand the situation with the girl. Everything is going to be fine – she won’t be harmed by the de-con crew and you most certainly won’t be fired.”
    Sora and his friends chuckled. “Mr. Wazowski?”
    “Mike! Call me Mike!” he yelled, though he breathed an audible sigh of relief, putting Boo down on the floor.

    The room was small, dim and dank. It had very few amenities – there was the door to the hallway through which they came, but inside standing alone was another door that didn’t seem to be connected to anything. It had a huge red light on the top of it, which wasn’t glowing at this particular moment. A few posters around the room depicted terrifying monsters, which made Boo visibly shiver. Across from the standalone door in the center of the room was a large white sheet, obviously covering something. Donald put his arm around Boo, trying to keep her comfortable.

    Mr. Waternoose, meanwhile, had his ear up to the door and was whispering something to himself. As the final footsteps of the de-con crew faded away from the hallway, he stepped back and smiled at everyone. “They’ve given up. The little girl is safe. Hand her to me.”

    “Well, with all due respect, sir, shouldn’t we just bring her to the factory floor and put her back in her room?” Mike asked.
    “Ah, Mr. Wazowski. How unfortunate that you should be attached to this particular human,” Mr. Waternoose said, pulling the sheet from the object in the center of the room. What he revealed made them all gasp – a kind of torture device, with hand and leg clamps – designed to fit the human body. “It’s my duty to run this company, boy. And how inefficient that we have to devote hundreds of workers and hundreds of hours to the old door system…my, we barely have enough scream energy to power our factory and the surrounding city! How terribly inefficient…”

    He paced around the room, pointy legs clicking on the metal floor every step.

    Mike swallowed hard. “So…what do you propose we do to…boost efficiency?” He knew he wasn’t going to like the answer as he gripped Boo’s arm tightly.

    “Well, Mr. Wazowski…we are going to simply put the children into these machines and scare all of the screams out of them right here in Monstropolis!” he smiled deviously. “No fuss, no muss. No travel, no risk of 2319’s, and best of all, no wasted energy! All the energy we make will be 100% efficient!”

    “But you can’t just STEAL children! That’s terrible!” Sora yelled.
    “Yeah…what about their families? Their friends? Their lives?” Riku demanded.
    “I’m not going to steal all of the children, just some! Don’t make me out to be some sort of…monster. The parents can always make new children! Who in the world will miss this one child?” Mr. Waternoose asked.

    Boo’s eyes started streaming with tears. “Kitty,” she said softly.
    Mike picked her up. “Don’t worry, Boo. You’ll see Kitty again. We’re getting outta here, Waternoose, don’t even try to stop us. I’m going to tell Roz and Celia and everyone else in the factory about your plan, and you’ll be canned for good!”

    The six friends quickly went for the door…but as they approached, the door started to…shift. It looked as if it were made of jelly. It turned purple before the friends started to back away. The shape changed, and soon they realized that it wasn’t the door at all changing – it was what was in front of it. A nasal cackle came from the tall, purple monster standing in front of the door. He had a broad grin, filled with tiny, sharp teeth. The monster had a snakelike body and the head similar to a lizard’s. It was definitely the definition of ‘monster’.

    Boo saw the creature and clung to Mike, screaming louder than she had all day. The few lights keeping the room lit exploded and the red bulb on the door in the center of the room glowed brightly.

    “We only got one chance to save our butts! Move it through that door!” Mike yelled, pushing Sora, Donald, Riku and Goofy toward the door as Boo clung to his head.
    “Randall, stop them at once!” cried out Mr. Waternoose in the dark. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a match – when he struck it, the small glow showed him that he was the only one left in the room.

    Well, so far I only noticed one character, which is Sora. He seems a bit too mature. It's only been a year and now he's drinking to and stuff like that. You should fix this by whatever you feel is best(if you want to fix it). Other characters seem just seem like themselves, so that's good. Keep up the good work.[face_peace]

    Edit: My bad, I just read it again and it says "sipping tea". Sorry about that.#-o

    Drinking? I didn't mean to say that Sora is drinking alcohol...where did I say that? If I did say that, I'm sorry - Sora is 17! He has been through a lot of shit in his day, but he's still got a few years until he can drink.

    And again, thanks a lot for the input. Here's another chapter - hope you enjoy it.

    Sora, Riku, Donald, Goofy and Mike, still clutching Boo, came out of a door in the middle of a snow covered mountain. Nothing to the left of them but snow covered dunes. To the right, the same. Stretching out in front of them was miles and miles of untouched snow. Mike tried the door with the red light over it…but it was no use. There was no power to the door, and when he opened it, he could just see through the doorway to the other side of the mountain.

    And behind them, masked with his chameleon skills, was Randall Boggs - the meanest monster in Monstropolis.

    Boo shivered and frowned. She didn’t cry, but it was clear she was uncomfortable. Donald cast a small firaga attack in the snow, which lit a small fire after it melted through the snow to the sticks and grass beneath it.

    “It won’t stay lit for long. We’ve gotta get outta here,” Riku said to Sora.
    All Sora did was nod. He was about to agree with Riku, but suddenly a voice came out of the snow from behind them.

    “You little punks think you’re so smart. I’ve got news for you; Randall is the king of Monstropolis. Don’t forget it!”

    Without warning, Sora’s feet came out from beneath him for no reason. Mike got poked in the eye while Goofy and Donald’s hats got knocked off by snowballs.

    “What’s going on?” Sora managed to mumble, as a snowball hit him square in the mouth.
    “It’s gotta be that camouflaging monster from before…he must have followed us,” Riku said.

    The sound of one set of hands clapping rang through the mountain. “Very good, you know…you guys might not be as dumb as I thought.” Randall turned from his invisible white to yellow and then to blue…as he completely turned purple he smiled as he kept scurrying around Sora, Donald, Riku, Mike and Goofy, as Boo sat between them, staying close to the fire.

    “Now, if you were really smart, you’d give the girl to me now and save yourselves a butt-kicking.”
    “By my count, there’s five butts here against two feet…Randall, you’re outmatched, pal,” Mike taunted.
    “Hmm. When you’re right, you’re right.” Randall smiled widely as he snapped his fingers. He then put his hand to his mouth and called out a name that the friends hadn’t heard in ages.

    “Oh, Jafar! Time for reinforcements!” Randall yelled, deviously.
    “Jafar?” they cried, looked at each other, eyes wide.

    The six friends panicked. The mountain started to shake and tremble as if an avalanche was heading their way…but it was far worse. At least one-hundred living bone heartless and another two-hundred rapid thrusters were charging down at them from atop the hill. The little annoying yellow heartless that looked like beaks wouldn’t have been a problem, had they not been accompanied by the ones that were as big as rhino fossils. Together, they could trample the heroes.

    The friends turned to run down the hill, but saw a familiar black portal opening up right next to Randall. Out of it came the Frowning Man from the city streets they had met earlier that day. Instead of charging straight at the friends, he ran toward Randall and grabbed him by the neck, lifting him a foot off the ground.

    “Insolent fool! We were given code names for a reason! I trust you with my identity and you hand it over to the street-rats?” Jafar screamed.
    Randall looked at Jafar with hate in his eyes. “I wish I had a mask to hide behind. Then I’d get other people to do my dirty work for me, too.”

    Jafar hissed, threw Randall into the portal and turned to see the friends.

    “Ah…even better than I had planned. The Dark One. Time to kill five birds with one stone…” Jafar mused, as he pulled off his mask. Even though they knew it was him from the sound of his voice, it didn’t truly affect them until they saw his large nose, crooked smile and wispy moustache poke out from beneath the mask. The mask shimmered in the snow and then vanished, as if no longer necessary.

    “Yes, yes. I won’t be needing that any longer. The Dark One knows my identity…but he won’t be able to tell anyone but the dungeon walls,” Jafar said, summoning a large golden staff. The staff had a snake’s head on top and a sharp scimitar-like sword digging into the snow.
    At that point, the friends turned to see how close the heartless army had gotten. It was impossible – the rapid thrusters were already overhead! Behind them by only a few hundred feet charged the living bones…as Jafar’s cackles rang into the mountain, the friends knew that they were in deep trouble.

    Riku made a mad dash towards Boo, scooping her up and running for the side of the mountain.
    ‘Good’, thought Sora. ‘He can’t summon his keyblade with Jafar around anyway.’
    Sora reached out his arm and brought his keyblade into his hand. Seconds later, the fire Donald had started had sizzled out.
    “What’s this?” asked Mike, staring into the ashes of the fire. Down in the hole the fire melted in the snow sat a strange looking key chain with one green eye dangling from it.
    “It’s a key chain! Sora, you think it’ll power up your keyblade?” Goofy asked, as he picked it up and handed it to Sora.
    “I hope so.” Sora attached it to the keyblade – instantly, the Kingdom Key started to morph into a longer keyblade. At the hilt there were green slime patterns and one bulbous eye. The blade was long and yellow, and had an interesting industrial feel to it. The purple disk called the Heart Harvester was still there, and Sora could feel his agility rise and he knew this keyblade came with it’s own bag of tricks.

    “Let’s go for a test drive!” Sora bellowed, diving at Jafar. He quickly pulled his staff from the ground, flipping it so that the scimitar and the One-Eye keyblade connected in a shattering clash of light. Meanwhile, Donald, Goofy and Mike stood with their backs to Sora and Jafar, fighting off the rapid thrusters as the living bones started to close in on them. The stampede wasn’t far off now, and they were making the ground shake so much that it was hard to any of them to keep their balance.

    Sora did a back flip to get away from Jafar. Both times he had defeated Jafar, he had been in his genie form. But Jafar wasn’t turning into a genie anymore. In fact, he didn’t even look like he could. Something looked…less powerful about him, though his sword fighting abilities were still top notch. Jafar twirled his staff above his head, momentarily making Sora dizzy. He swung down with the snake’s head and barely missed as Sora dove through his legs, starting a huge combo on Jafar’s backside, juggling him in the air.

    Jafar did an aerial recovery, flipped himself over and pointed the snake at Sora. At that moment, the eyes of the snake glowed, and Sora felt faint…tired…almost tired enough to quit…

    ‘No!’ he screamed in his head. He did a spinning scissor kick, grabbing Jafar around the ankles and plowing him into the ground. Jafar was getting tired now, he could feel it. Sora yelled “thunder!” as two lighting bolts came down, stunning Jafar for a moment. Jafar shook it off and raised his hands, holding the staff over his head like a battle axe. With a mighty swing, he sent six streaming jets of fire from the snake head toward Sora. But Sora slammed his keyblade into the air and yelled “shield!”, casting powerful reflega magic on himself.

    There were too many. Goofy got knocked into Mike, sending them both beneath a pile of snow, leaving Donald to fight the rapid thrusters alone. He managed to cast a strong magnet spell, but all it did was wipe out the remaining rapid thrusters. The living bones were far too heavy to be affected by magnet.
    And suddenly, there came a sound from a few hundred feet away – Riku’s voice.

    “Riku! Get back! You can’t summon your keyblade!” yelled Donald, but to no avail – he could see Riku gradually getting closer. Meanwhile, Goofy and Mike were hiding under Goofy’s bounce shield, hoping not to get trampled.

    Sora knocked Jafar into a snow bank, creating a pretty odd take on the average snow angel. Jafar climbed out and brushed the snow from his silver and black suit.
    “Street-rats like you know all about living to fight another day, don’t you boy?” Jafar sneered, conjuring a black portal in the snow.
    “The only rat I see here is you, Jafar. Stay and fight like a man!” Sora yelled.
    Jafar laughed.
    “I see you’re confused as to how I fight, boy. I fight until I lose the upper hand. To do anything more would be foolish. Bravery is in the same league as stupidity, urchin.” With that, Jafar hopped through the portal, closing it and leaving Sora, Goofy, Mike, Riku, Boo and Donald to fight the living bone stampede.

    The living bone heartless were only seconds away at this point. Sora reconvened with Donald, Goofy and Mike in the center of the mountain.

    “How are you guys doing?” Sora looked up at the stampede and his eyes widened. “Sorry I asked.”

    Donald was pointing up the mountain as Goofy and Mike came out from beneath the shield. Mike sheepishly looked at Sora.
    “Sorry! I didn’t feel like getting squished today, thanks very much!” he said.
    “What are you pointing at, Donald?” Sora asked.
    “Riku!” he quacked.

    It was true. Riku was closing in on them as fast as the living bones…but how? Several of the living bones separated so they didn’t smash into the doorway that sat in the center of the snow…and then Sora and the others saw it – Riku, actually riding atop a living bone, with Boo in the front seat, smiling like it was an amusement park ride!

    “Not very smart, are they?” Riku yelled. He wasn’t lying – the living bone didn’t even notice Riku and Boo sitting on his back. Riku grabbed onto the heartless’ horn with one hand and finally called forth his keyblade with the other. He started swinging around him, taking out several others with the inertia he gained from riding on top of the stampeding beast. “Let’s even the odds, eh fellas?”

    Sora ran toward the closest living bone and pole vaulted over it using his keyblade, landing awkwardly on it’s back. Goofy picked up Donald and Mike, tossed them onto his bounce shield and they soared over head, landing on two of their own. Unfortunately for Mike, he landed backwards and spent a good deal of his time trying to stay on board. Goofy flipped his shield and used it like a pogo stick, landing on yet another.

    The friends had an impromptu rodeo on the mountain, destroying heartless left and right. Sora enjoyed running his straight into rocks and then jumping off as they destroyed themselves; Goofy had a great time playing matador with them with his shield, causing two heartless to smash into each other on more than one occasion. Mike finally gained his balance and stuck his tongue out at the heartless behind him, as Donald cast gravity on several others, driving them down into the snow. Riku enjoyed the old fashioned approach – he just jousted them in straight lines as he plowed by. Boo was giggling at this point, clapping her hands every time another heartless was defeated. Soon, all that was left was one heartless that faced against the six friends.

    The little girl giggled and looked up at the creature; “Boo!” was all she said to make the heartless turn tail and run.

    “Wow! Did you see that! We really took it to ‘em! Boy oh boy, they didn’t know what we had up our sleeves, and bam!” Mike animatedly jumped around, adrenaline pumping. He crashed into a snow bank, sending a pile of fluffy snow down on him, causing him to look like a tiny, bouncing snow man. Boo squealed with delight as something interesting happened…

    The red light on the door glowed brightly. Brighter than it glowed back in the factory.

    “What’s it mean?” Goofy said.
    “Well…that’s the power light. That’s weird though, nobody’s screaming and there’s no plugs or anything out here…” Mike tried to explain to everyone.
    The light stopped glowing.
    “Oh great! We had a chance to go back, and you wasted it talking!” Donald said, irritated. He smacked Mike on the head with his staff, causing Mike to bellow “yeowch!” and fall over. Boo laughed again, and the light glowed brightly once again.
    This time, Riku grabbed the door while the light was still on, ripped it open and revealed the torture chamber in the factory. One by one they ran through the door, until they all had made it back to the Hidden City safe and sound.

    The friends were glad to see that Mr. Waternoose had left the chamber alone, so they used the free moment to catch their breath.

    “I…I don’t get it! I don’t know where the power came from to start up the door! It doesn’t make sense…” Mike said, as he smacked himself in the head over and over. Boo laughed really hard this time, as they heard a shattering sound in the hallway. Riku peeked through the door, and sure enough, all the lights in the hallway had overloaded and burst.

    “Laughter! It’s Boo’s laughter that’s doing it! It’s really powerful, too! Way more powerful than screams! I can tell!” Mike was terribly excited. “Wait’ll I tell Sully!” He started to frown. Boo looked at him and it was clear she now understood that ‘Sully’ meant ‘Kitty’.

    “We’ve gotta get her home safe, Mike. Then we can find Sully. I promise,” Sora said.
    “Then we gotta get to the factory floor and find her door. We’re right around the corner. Follow me,” Mike insisted. He walked with Boo’s hand in his up front, Riku, Donald, Goofy and Sora behind. They exited into the now dark hallway and only had to walk a few paces until Mike pushed open a huge set of double doors. This was the room they had first entered through the door to Timeless River – the scoreboard, the doorways, the odd map…

    At the end of the huge work floor there was a door already docked in the electronic station – a white door with purple flowers on it – Boo’s door.

    “That’s it! There it is!” Mike yelled, almost tugging Boo’s arm out of its socket. But the joy didn’t have long to set in, as the map and the scoreboard went to static and were replaced by a far less attractive image – Randall Boggs smiled on the giant screen as his voice filled the room through the speaker system.

    “Oh, you! You always come and visit me at work. You know I can get in trouble for that, don’t you?” he smiled.
    “Quit playing around, Randall…” Mike looked up at the screen, clenching his fist.
    “Jafar wanted me to thank you for him. If it wasn’t for you, Sully wouldn’t be in the state he’s in.”
    “Where is he?” Sora demanded.
    “Cool your jets, human. You wanna see him? You got it.”

    The screen went to static as the extra fluorescent lights turned on in the room, illuminating rows of doors on either side of the heroes. All the lights began to glow red – the lights over black doors, white doors, blue doors…

    Then, in the far end of the room, in front of Boo’s door, a giant pool of black sludge formed. From it began to rise a beast of mammoth proportions. It could have touched the roof of the building by standing on a phonebook. The giant heartless was vaguely familiar to the friends, though it was nothing they had ever seen before. The beast had two giant, curling yellow horns, as big as boats. The fur was a light blue with black and red spots…very fuzzy and shaggy. The build of the creature was like a giant football player – big from the waist down, even bigger from the waist up. The mouth of the beast was a snarl of jagged teeth, and a long, slithering black tongue darted in-between his lips. A black nose and two cold, dark, slotted eyes stared down at the friends. In the center of his fuzzy chest was a yellow heart with jagged lines running through it – a symbol that the friends had seen on countless heartless in the past.

    “S…Sully?” Mike stammered.
    Boo’s jaw dropped, as did everyone else’s.
    “That’s Sully?” Sora asked. He looked at the Heart Harvester that Cid gave him in Radiant Garden and knew what had to happen.
    “Look, Mike, I know this is going to sound crazy, but you have to trust me – we need to defeat Sully’s Heartless,” Sora said somberly. “It’s not really him.”
    Mike just nodded and pulled out his nunchakus. Riku and Sora summoned their keyblades as Goofy readied his shield and Donald held up his staff. Sully’s Heartless started to walk toward the heroes, as Randall literally dropped in from a rafter above.

    The room glowed deep purple as the doors on the left and right of the heroes changed colors – Randall jumped into one door and came out in a completely different one across the room, spitting a powerful acid goo of some sort at the heroes. It missed, but Randall just ducked back into that door and popped out the one he came from. He zipped between Sully’s legs and into the green door, popping out of the pink door seconds later. This time, the acid goo hit Mike and caused him to fall over in pain. Sully’s Heartless was in the center of the room now, conjuring giant dark spikes and raining them over Goofy and Sora. Goofy held his shield over Boo, but got slashed with a spike himself, causing him to yowl.

    Sora looked around the room as Riku did a spinning leap toward Sully’s Heartless, slashing away at his left horn. Soon, the horn was nothing but a stump, throbbing on top of his undersized head.

    Sora’s brain finally clicked into overdrive as he had an idea. “Donald, Mike, take Boo into the corner and get her to laugh!” he yelled. Mike grabbed Boo and was followed by Donald. He yelled over his shoulder toward Sora
    “Yeah, got a giant monster in the room and you want me to get a little kid to laugh? I don’t think Bobo the Clown ever had to work this hard…” he mumbled, as Donald and Mike got to work.

    Meanwhile, Goofy was trying to keep track of Randall as he went from door to door, managing to block his acid attack with his shield. “Green goes to pink…blue goes to red…white goes to orange…” he figured out where most of the doors went to…but every time he did, Randall tried to randomize them again by stomping on a button on the left most wall. Sora cast a really strong graviga attack on Sully’s Heartless’ right horn, dragging his body down to the ground of the floor. He hopped on the heartless’ back and did some serious damage to the horn, though not completely crippling it like Riku did.

    “C’mon kid…you were laughin’ like crazy back when we were riding those rhino things…” Mike begged.
    Boo just stared at him and Donald, not smiling, not sad.
    Donald’s eyes lit up. “Hey Boo, what’s a ducks favorite snack food?”
    “Oh jeez…don’t say it,” Mike said.
    “Cheese and quackers!” Donald started laughing at his own terrible joke.
    “Terrible! Jeez, I’ve got fresher jokes in tupperware!” Mike said.

    Sully’s Heartless ripped the purple door off its hinges and thrust his arm through it.
    “Where’s the purple door go, Goofy?” Sora yelled.
    But it was too late, as Goofy started to say ‘black’, the black door flew off its hinges and almost sliced through Sora and smashed into pieces on the opposite wall. Sully’s arm slashed at Sora and Riku, who were trying to keep their balance on his back. Soon, the gravity spell would wear off and he would be able to get up again. Nobody wanted that.

    Randall bounded through the green door again…but this time, Goofy was waiting for him at the pink door with a spinning attack that grabbed Randall in a vortex. Goofy continued to spin until he had enough inertia and let go of Randall, sending him flying into the scoreboard. As he hit it, a shower of sparks filled the room and Randall fell to the ground, a dark shade of black smoke rising from his entire body.

    Riku started to slash at Sully’s Heartless’ arm that was coming through the doorway. He just wanted to keep it from going back through…
    But the other arm just ripped the orange door off the hinges and popped out of the white door, knocking Goofy across the room. Sora and Riku kept slashing at the arms coming through the doorways, intent on keeping them there.

    “Mike, you have to get Boo to laugh!” Sora demanded, as Sully’s Heartless started to shudder…the spell was wearing off.

    Mike sighed and grabbed Donald’s staff and started to whack himself in the head with it. Boo giggled.
    “Louder!” Sora said.

    Donald took his staff back and zapped Mike with thunder.
    Boo laughed even harder.
    “Just a little bit more!”

    Goofy got up and started bouncing Mike off his bounce shield, as Donald poked him in the eye with his staff.
    “Hey, whaddya doin’ poking me in the eye! C’mon, I only got one! It’s not like I can wear an eye-patch, that’s just a blindfold!” He slapped Donald, making the three of them look incredibly like the three stooges.

    This time Boo laughed very heartily. The lights in the factory surged and dimmed, over and over until Mike did his final number:

    “You like slapstick? Well, here…you…go!” he groaned, bending over and sending a fart wave across the room. Boo stared at him with a shocked look on her face, tears in her eyes…

    …and began to scream with laughter! The lights grew so bright they started to burst. The red bulbs on the doorways became shining beacons as the popped, one by one down the line. When the doorways holding Sully’s Heartless’ arms became deactivated, Riku and Sora jumped off the heartless’ back and watched as it attempted to free itself from its self-created prison. It was no use – without power to the doors, the arms couldn’t enter – or exit – them at all. Sully’s Heartless was at the mercy of Riku and Sora.

    The two boys clinked their keyblades together as they jumped in the air, nearly hovering above the heartless on the ground. They nodded at each other and unleashed a limit attack. Yelling “PUNISHING BLOW”, they threw their keyblades down at Sully’s Heartless and repeatedly punched the air, releasing wave after wave of dark and light energy, driving the keyblades faster and faster until they pierced through Sully’s Heartless’ back and into the factory floor. The beast melted into a puddle of black sludge as Sora and Riku landed, reclaiming their keyblades.

    From the sludge, a bright light started to shine. A single beam broke free and a giant, shimmering silver heart rose up. Sora pointed his keyblade at it, and in a flourish, it was safely tucked away in the Heart Harvester.

    Donald, Goofy, Mike and Boo met Riku and Sora in the center of the room. The damage was incredible – the screens were completely smashed, several of the doors were ripped clean off the hinges and Randall’s acidy spit was burning several holes in the ground.

    The double doors to the factory floor burst open to reveal Mr. Waternoose, looking quite angry. He was flanked by the de-con crew in their yellow suits.

    “Get me the girl!” he screamed at them, sending the yellow suited men into a frenzy as they charged at Sora and company.

    Mike picked up Boo and ran like a football player heading for a touchdown; Goofy and Donald knocked back as many of the de-con crew as they could, but they were swarming in like bugs. Sora was the first one to make it to the door - he put his hand on the handle as Mike skidded to a stop with Boo right in front of it.

    “One more trick…” Mike said, as he indicated to Sora to stomp on his foot. “Yow!” Mike yelled, making Boo giggle just enough to power the door. Ten feet away, Riku’s reflega shield was growing weak; but it gave them just enough time to open the door and put Boo back in her room.

    As the door closed, Boo looked terribly sad. Mike smiled and said, “don’t worry, Boo. You’ll see me again.” The door closed and Sora smashed the handle from the door with his keyblade. Boo was finally safe. The de-con crew stopped in their tracks.

    “2319 secure! Repeat, 2319 secure!” the leader of the de-con crew ordered. They shot their rope guns through the glass in the ceiling and were out of sight, zipping up them faster than they came.

    “NO!” cursed Waternoose. “No…you meddlesome fools…you’ll pay for this. It’s my job to power this city…and I’ll do it by any means necessary.” He slammed the door behind him as he left the friends in the factory.

    Mike walked over to one of the working terminals and plugged it in. He slid a key card through the panel next to it, and punched in a few numbers.
    “Mike? What are you…” but Sora stopped talking when, from a hole in the wall across the room, there came a giant door that looked exactly like the door between Disney Castle and Timeless River. As it was placed into the electronic component on the floor by a giant arm, Mike grabbed the handle and pulled it open. They could clearly see the Cornerstone of Light through the door.

    “Guys…you guys are the best. I just wish…Sully could have met you…” Mike’s eye welled up with a massive tear.
    “Mike, trust us when we say you’ll see Sully again. That monster was only half of him – half that I have safely stored here.” He pointed at the Heart Harvester. “The other half is somewhere out there,” he pointed through the door. “And we’ll find him, reunite him with his heart and bring him back. We promise.”

    Mike smiled weakly. “Thanks, guys.” And with that, Sora, Donald, Goofy and Riku passed through the door and back into Disney Castle, leaving Monstropolis behind…for now.

    Jafar trudged up the spiral stairs leading to Master Maximilian’s throne room. How he wished he had good news. The walk seemed longer than usual…maybe it was the inordinate amount of heartless around the halls these days? It certainly looked like there was an infestation. Jafar slid a small shadow away from the door, using his staff like a golf club. He smiled as he heard a faint ‘splat’ on the opposite wall.

    As Jafar entered the audience chamber, which was situated a few rooms before the throne room, he was stopped in his tracks by a floating red cape, flowing in through the window. It hovered in front of him for a few moments, and then touched down on the ground. Vincent pulled the cloak around him, revealing himself to Jafar.

    “Not that easy, hm?” Vincent sneered.
    Jafar smiled patronizingly. “At least I was thwarted by a keyblade master. You were outsmarted by a tiny little fairy. Isn’t that…what you are, anyway? Half-fairy?”
    “Half-vampire, smart-ass. Look, you can go in there and try to use this smug attitude on Master Max, but I promise you he won’t stand for it as long as I have. You better be prepared to grovel. You told him you had a ‘marvelous, magnificent creature’ out there in Monstropolis! What happened to it?” Vincent stayed calm as he tore into Jafar.
    Jafar noticeably winced. “The Dark One and his sidekick Sora, that’s what. You don’t think I threw something weak against them, do you? I used the strongest hero that world had, and they still chopped it to bits!”
    “And what about yourself? Didn’t you have a go at them yourself? The Dark One can’t summon his keyblade in our presence…he should have been no contest.” Vincent slowly started to walk circles around Jafar, lovingly toying with his triple-barreled pistol in the hoslter. “So basically, what it boils down to is, you’re going to walk straight up to Master Max, tell him ‘gee, sorry, the Dark One is still at large, because I got beat down by his sidekick?”
    “There was more than Sora. That meddlesome duck and dog were there as well.” Jafar rationalized.
    “Oh, my mistake. You got beat down by his sidekick and his pets.”
    “Look, boy, I don’t know what you’re playing at. I’ve got my duty to report to Master Max whether I fail or not,” Jafar said, pushing Vincent out of the way with his snake head staff.
    “You’re right. You are just a pawn in this game. Carry on.” Vincent wrapped himself up in his cloak, hovered and flew out the same window from which he came.
    Jafar stood in the doorway, shook the memory from his head and opened the door to the hallway.

    “Master Maximilian, sir…I’ve got some unfortunate news,” Jafar walked as if he was on eggshells as he entered the throne room. Master Maximilian sat in his throne, smiling as usual.

    “As usual, Jafar, I know much more than you think I do. Doesn’t it make sense, Jafar, that I would know everything that is happening concerning the Dark One, at any given time?”
    Jafar slowly nodded.
    “And wouldn’t it make even more sense, Jafar, that I would know what is happening in my very castle, two doors away?!” he stood up from his throne.
    Jafar stammered, “y…yes, sir.”
    “So, Jafar, why do you insult my intelligence by walking in the room and telling me what I already know? Hm? Why try to sugar coat it? Are you trying to take advantage of me, Jafar?”
    “No…no sir! Nothing of the sort…I merely was trying…attempting to…soften the blow…”

    Master Maximilian turned his back on Jafar.

    “Bring me the Dark One, Jafar. Bring him to me bound, shackled, tied…however you choose. Bring him to me…or you’ll go back in the lamp for who knows how long, this time?”

    A stone pedestal rose from the ground to the left of the throne. On it was a sealed crystal box, and inside was an ornamental black lamp – the lamp Jafar was imprisoned inside until Master Maximilian set him free.

    “I do love showing off my nice things,” Master Maximilian said.
    “As you wish, sire.” Jafar bowed.
    “Oh, and if you see that Vincent Valentine again…tell him that next time he trespasses on my castle grounds without the Dark One in his grips, he can expect a much less cordial welcome wagon.” Master Maximilian sat back down in his throne, pointed at the door, and Jafar got the point.

    Jafar exited the castle twice as fast as he had entered it. Walking down the stone steps outside the castle, he passed by Vincent leaning against a stone column.

    “Sounds like you’re in trouble, genie,” Vincent teased.
    “You’re in pretty hot water yourself, fairy boy.” He continued down the steps for a few paces until he stopped in his tracks. He turned back to Vincent and swallowed his pride.

    “You know…separately we’ve both gotten berated by Master. We’re striving for the same goal, here…with my power, strength and charm, and your...your…well we can figure out what you add later…we can probably bring the Dark One back here before week’s end.” Jafar wagered.

    Vincent took a good, long look at Jafar. “You know? You have a real funny way of saying ‘let’s be partners’. By the way, that thing I add? It’s called good-looks.”
    Vincent smiled and extended his hand to shake Jafar’s, already outstretched.
