I'M BAAAAAAAAAACK! Wow! I haven't submitted anything for ages now! I've practically been ignoring a Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo fic for how long now? I'd say at least five months. But when this came to me, I just HAD to write and submit it! Now then, I know that there may already be a Kingdom Hearts III, but since I've never seen it in any shops yet, I called this one it. And now for the disclaimer!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Kingdom Hearts OR the song Akatsuki no Kuruma.

The song I put in beacuse its used at the end. YEEY!

The wind entices me to lay down in the shade
I cry-- when I look at myself, I see someone I don't know
Playing the guitar for those who've passed away,
A star falls for the grief of those will not come

They won't come, but they call out
Orange flower petals shake quietly
Far-away memories, held in my palm,
Leave a gentle wrinkle in my face
I strike a cord of eternal goodbye

A child's heart clings to a gentle hand
The burning feeling shaken off as the vessel continues
I play the guitar for the sighs those who've passed away
strumming the cords of my heart

Uncolored by the white of sadness
Orange flower petals shake gently in the shadow of summer
I've lost those gentle wrinkles
Dyed red by the far-off sands that I crossed
The rhythm of goodbye

Burned down memories seep into the earth
Where they will sprout out as beautiful things

I wave off the carriage of dawn
Even now, orange flower petals shake gently, somewhere..
One day, I'll see a peaceful dawn
Until I have it once more
An unfading light
Turns the wheels

Chapter I. Starting A New Journey

A sword sliced through yet another Heartless. How many more of them were there? Leon's face was covered in sweat as he had been facing countless Heartless for God knows how long.

"Need any help?" a voice asked. Leon glanced back, not wanting to turn fully in case a Heartless attacked again.

"Yuffie!" the man cried as the ninja-girl appeared next to him.

"Nice to see you too," replied Yuffie. "How many are there left?"

"I don't know. I've destroyed many Heartless already, but they won't stop coming!"

Over the next five minutes, both Leon and Yuffie destroyed over three thousand Heartless each. Yet no matter how many they attacked, more appeared. Just as a Neoshadow was about to attack, every Heartless froze.

"What?!" exclaimed Leon.

"Wh-what's going on?" cried Yuffie.

A shrill scream was heard throughout the castle. Belle ran as fast as she could to try and get away from the large amount of Heartless that were chasing her. She reached the doors that lead outside, but they appeared to be locked. Belle quickly turned around and shielded herself with her arms as Heartless leaped at her. But nothing came.

"Belle, are you alright?" a gruff voice asked. Belle looked at the speaker.

"Beast!" she cried. The Beast stood before her in a protective manor. Heartless surrounded them from about a meter away.

"Get out!" the Beast yelled as a few Heartless jumped up, trying to attack only to be knocked away by the Beast's strength. However, more heartless appeared.

"Where are they coming from?" the female asked. Beast was about to attack again when all of the Heatless froze. "Have they...stopped?"

A small laugh was heard from somewhere in the room. "Who's there!?" Beast called out, but got no reply.

"GYAAH!" Hercules cried out as he attacked another Heartless. Auron was close behind him, attacking Heatless with his sword. "How are you doing over there?"

Auron sliced a Shadow in half. "I am beginning to believe that there may be too many for us to defeat!" he called back.

"We can't give up yet. Remember, nothing can stop a true hero."

Five more Neoshadow suddenly appeared and attacked all at once. Auron managed to attack two while Hercules also attacked two, leaving one that just scratched Hercules and the arm. Hercules grunted in pain and was about to attack again when the Heartless froze.

"Why did they stop?" he asked.

"I don't know," the other man replied. A small laugh was heard throughout the Underworld entrance. "Show yourself!"

"I recognize that voice. I've heard it before, but I can't quite remember it."

"GYAAH! Aladdin, help!" cried a red parrot, quickly diving behind the said man, Aladdin.

"Get back you Heartless!" Aladdin commanded to the many Heartless before him.

"Aladdin, be careful!" cried princess Jasmine, who stood a little behind Aladdin.

"Don't worry Jasmine. Genie!"

A blue blob suddenly began soaring from the sky, and when it landed, it knocked a good amount of Heartless back. Those Heartless were only replaced with more Heartless.

"This doesn't look good, Al," Genie said to Aladdin, getting by the man's side. Aladdin was about to attack when the Heartless froze.

"Hey, what's going on?" asked Iago.

"Could it be that they've stopped?" asked the princess. A small laugh was heard around the area.

"Alright you, surrender or I will be forced to fire!" Genie announced, making himself look like an English solider holding a gun.

"Hold on a minute, Genie. I've heard that voice before," said Aladdin. A bright light suddenly appeared from underneath the Heartless.

"Back, you!" a skeleton man cried, attacking many Heartless as possible.

"Jack, look out!" cried Sally, as two Heartless attacked Jack without the skeleton knowing until it was too late.

"Get off!" he cried, pushing himself up and knocking the Heartless off. Just as he was going to attack, the Heartless froze. Jack frowned and stood in a normal position. "Why would they stop like that?" he asked himself. The laughter of a teenaged boy could be heard from somewhere in the graveyard.

"Jack! I know I've heard that voice from somewhere!" exclaimed Sally.

Jack pulled a thoughtful face. A bright light suddenly appeared underneath all of the Heartless and they disappeared, as they did in every world at the exact same moment. Also at the same time, the same pair of feet stepped forward, revealing the person who had been laughing earlier.

At this moment, every Disney/Final Fantasy character saw who this person that somehow had managed to appear in every world at the same time said one word.

"YOU!?"

Meanwhile, at Disney Castle, King Mickey Mouse was pacing around in the throne when two chipmunks came running in.

"Your majesty! Your majesty!" they both cried.

"Chip, Dale, what's happening?" the king asked.

"Your majesty, thousands of Heartless have been appearing in the other worlds!" cried Chip.

"But then they just disappear and someone shows up straight after!" added Dale.

"Do you know who this other person is?" asked Mickey.

"No, sir. What should we do?" questioned Chip.

King Mickey thought for a moment. "Send out Goofy and Donald to get Sora. We're gonna need his help if we want to get rid of all the Heartless. Tell them to get Riku and Kairi too."

"Yes sir!" both chipmunks said, saluting their king before running out of the room.

King Mickey sighed and looked to the floor. "How did this happen. Could it be Maleficent?" he asked himself. Suddenly, the doors burst open, and a figure that was very familiar to the king entered, an evil smirk on his face. "What're you doing here!? And how did you get to the castle without being spotted?"

The figure's smirk widened. "Hello, your majesty. How long has it been? Two months?" he asked, walking towards the king.

"Three months. And what are you doing here?" Mickey knew this boy very well, but there was something about him that Mickey didn't trust. His eyes were darker than usual, actually his whole figure was darker than usual.

"Can't I just visit an old friend?" he asked, a silver Keyblade appearing in his hand.

"I don't want to do this...Sora."

A golden Keyblade appeared in the king's hand. This only caused Sora's smirk to widen even more.

Waves gently lapped up onto the shore of Destiny Island. The sky seemed to be a murky blue, and the sun hid behind light gray clouds. There was quite a heavy breeze passing by every so often. Sat on the crocked paopu tree was Riku; a frown placed upon his face. He had a feeling that something was going on in one of the other worlds. He also felt as though the weather was a bad omen.

"Riku!" a voice suddenly called. Riku turned around to find Kairi.

"Kairi? What's wrong?" the silver haired male asked, jumping down from the tree.

Kairi ran up to him, looking as though she was out of breath. "Riku, have you seen Sora anywhere? I've been looking for him all morning but I can't find him anywhere!"

Riku thought for a moment before replying. "I haven't seen him since yesterday. I'm sure he's fine, though."

"But I haven't spotted his boat anywhere as well. What if the waves were too strong and he got washed away somewhere?"

A small chuckle came from the male. "Kairi, you managed to get here fine, and I managed to get here fine, so if Sora were to travel here in his boat, then I'm sure he would be fine."

The red haired girl was silent. She looked out to the ocean and frowned when she spotted something that looked familiar to her. "Riku, look!" she exclaimed, pointing to the object she had spotted. Riku looked towards it and a small gasp escaped his lips.

"A Gummi Ship," he said, as it came closer towards them.

When the ship passed them, Riku and Kairi began following it. It was a short while before it came to a stop. When it did, and the door opened, out stepped no other than Donald Duck and Goofy.

"Donald! Goofy!" Kairi cried, running over to hug them both.

"Hi Kairi!" the duck cried. "Just who we were looking for."

"And Riku's here too," Goofy pointed out.

"Hey there, long time no see," greeted Riku.

Kairi stepped back next to Riku. "You said that we were just the ones you wanted to see. How come?" she asked.

"Orders from the king to find you and Sora," explained Donald.

"Hey, where is Sora anyway?" the dog asked.

Riku and Kairi glanced at each other before Kairi replied. "We haven't seen him since yesterday. And nothing that belongs to him is here too."

"Maybe he already went to the king."

"How come the king wanted to see us anyway?" asked Riku.

"I'll give you one guess," replied Donald.

"Heartless?"

"Of course."

"Well, if Sora is already there, then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Kairi cheered.

"So this is Disney Castle," said the redhead in awe as she looked around.

"Come on, the king should be in the thrown room," announced Goofy.

"Lead the way."

When Donald and Goofy opened the door to the throne room, they gasped. "Your majesty!" the both cried, running over to the unconscious mouse on the floor, a golden Keyblade next to him. Riku and Kairi also came running by his side.

"Your majesty, wake up," Riku said, shaking the king lightly on the shoulder.

"What happened?" the king asked, getting up into a sitting position.

"We were kind of hoping that you could tell us that," Goofy said, looking worried.

The king rubbed his head as if trying to remember what had happened. His eyes widened in shock, then looked grim and sad. "I remember now. He came here."

"Who came, your majesty?" asked Kairi.

"I never once thought that he would do something like that. What could have caused him to join with the Heartless?"

"Your majesty, tell us who this guy is and we'll make sure they'll pay," Donald said, sounding pretty angry.

"Oh it won't be that easy. If I tell you who it is, then you probably won't want to fight him."

"It's ok, your majesty. We'll be able to defeat him no matter what the costs are," assured Riku.

The king looked at each individual in the eyes. He sighed, shook his head then replied. "It was...Sora."

"WHAT!?" nearly everyone except the king cried.

"No! Sora would never do anything like that!" cried Kairi, shaking her head.

"I know what I saw was what I saw. And what I saw was Sora coming in here and fighting me. If I hadn't of used that spell to knock him away then he may have got this Keyblade," Mickey replied grabbing a hold of his Keyblade and dismissing it.

"I wonder where Sora is now, then." Pondered Goofy, pulling a thoughtful face.

Riku quickly glanced at everyone. "Your majesty," he said. "If Sora did really join with the Heartless, then we have to go and find him. There are also Heartless around the other worlds too, aren't there?"

"I get it. You want to get rid of the Heartless from the worlds and at the same time, find Sora," the king said, getting to his feet.

Riku nodded. "Permission to take Donald and Goofy with us, sir?"

"Permission granted, Riku. Now go! You may not have much time before Sora gives in to the darkness."

"Yes sir!" the others said, before leaving to board the Gummi Ship, leaving the king in the throne room.

"You really think that they could help?" a male voice asked.

"Don't worry. They'll find him before you know it. Then you can fuse back with Sora," replied the king.

"That's if it's not too late. Once darkness seems inviting, it's almost impossible to break free. I should know."

"Just trust them. I know that they can do it, Roxas."

Just as the gang were about to board the Gummi Ship, Riku stopped.

"Riku, what is it?" asked Kairi.

"I think you should stay here," replied Riku, turning towards Kairi.

Kairi stared at him for a second or two. "Riku, Sora's my friend too. I want to help him."

"And what if you get hurt? When Sora's back to his usual self, he's gonna kill me if anything happens to you."

"I'm sure he wouldn't do that," giggled Kairi.

"Hey, c'mon!" Donald called out from inside the Gummi Ship.

Riku sighed and said 'c'mon' before heading towards the Gummi Ship, followed close behind by Kairi. Riku had almost got inside the ship when the ground started to shake.

"What's going on!" cried Kairi, holding onto Riku so that she wouldn't fall.

"I think it's an earthquake!" replied Goofy.

The ground started to crack open fast, and when it had reached both sides of the room, a large, bulky creature emerged from inside. Its head barley dodged the ceiling as it was so tall. Its skin was black with red, thorn pattern on its body. Instead of four fingers and a thumb, it had three large claws. Two large fangs were revealed by its open mouth. It also had two luminous yellow eyes. On its forehead was a thorny heart.

"Is that a Heartless?" exclaimed Donald, running out of the ship, griping his staff tightly.

The Heartless suddenly smacked its fist on the ground, causing everyone to fall over. After getting up, everyone summoned their weapons, except for Donald who already had his. The Heartless lifted its left hand which glowed brightly.

"No!" Riku cried as Way to Dawn was pulled away from him by an invisible force. It seemed as though the Heartless was sucking in their weapons.

"What're we gonna do now?" cried Goofy.

"Run!"

"No! We have to get our weapons back!" exclaimed Kairi.

Riku looked at her. "Kairi, I know you want to fight, but you can't fight without your weapon. It's too dangerous!"

"Look! There's someone there!" Donald informed everyone, pointing to a figure in a black, hooded cloak. A sword appeared in his hand and in one hit the Heartless was sliced in two and disintegrated.

"Your weapons are over there," the figure relied in a masculine voice. He sounded as though he was sixteen years of age. When the figure noticed that the people in front of him weren't moving, he spoke up again. "There is no need to fear, my friends. Like you, I am on a quest to save the one called 'Sora'."

"You know Sora?" Riku inquired. Just who was this guy?

"Please, collect your weapons and let me accompany you on this quest."

Goofy smiled and began moving towards his shield. "If you're a friend of Sora, then you're a friend of mine," he said.

The figure looked to the floor. "Thank you," he replied.

"Come on, guys! I'm sure he doesn't mean any harm."

One by one, they collected their weapons that the giant Heartless had tried to snatch away. After Riku collected his Keyblade, he turned to the hooded man.

"Who are you? And why are you helping us?" he asked, dismissing Way to Dawn.

The figure was slightly taller than Riku was. He moved a gloved hand to the hood and pulled it down. The man had cream hair that hung over his eyes a little. His hair spiked downwards at the back, and there were two bangs that hung over his shoulders. His eyes were a deep blue.

"My name is Dezerack," he replied.

"Nice to meet you Dezerack," Goofy said, smiling. "I'm-"

"You are captain if the Royal Knights: Goofy. You helped save Kingdom Hearts twice. Am I correct?"

"Wow," Donald said in awe. "If you're so smart, then who am I?"

"You are the castle's Royal Court Magician: Donald Duck. You also helped to save Kingdom Hearts twice. And, if I am correct, you were also appointed 'Junior Hero'."

"Do you know all of our names?" asked Kairi.

Dezerack nodded. "He talked about you everyday."

"Who did?"

"...Sora."

Well, what did you think? Riview please!
