Kyoshi Island…
The islanders were plagued everyday by a bizarre creature. It came everyday to try and kill Suki. A letter was sent to every major city on the continent. It read,
To whom it may concern,
We don't know what the proper term is for it but right now we are totally fucked. If you don't mind, could you send someone to help?
-Kyoshi Island residents
Ba Sing Se and Omashu replied with,
Kyoshi Island,

-King Bumi
Kyoshi Island,
We will contact the Avatar and his group and they should be there within the week.
-Earth King
Suki and the other Kyoshi warriors looked up from the letters.
"I sure like that shorter method better, don't you girls," Suki said. All of the girls nodded nervously.
Sora and the group were headed to Kyoshi Island on Appa.
"We're here!" Sora announced upon landing. "What took you so long? The freelancer is already here," Suki said with her hands on her hips.
"What freelancer?" Aang asked.
A man pushed past Katara quite rudely. "Hey, watch it!" Katara snapped. The man stopped and turned slightly. He had a third of an oni mask on the right side of his face. His right arm was completely wrapped in black cloth. The man had a buzz cut; his hair was shaved down to his scalp. He snorted in disgust and kept walking. Suddenly one of the Kyoshi warriors ran towards the village. "Suki!" she yelled between gasps for air. "Yes?" Suki asked, then she saw her comrade was out of breath, "Catch your breath." After about 3 minutes of heavy breathing the girl was able to put together her words.
"Fire Nation ships are headed towards the island!" she said, "Around 4 warships! General RAAM is leading them!"
Sora's eyes widened, he pushed past Suki, "Are you positive?" Sora asked.
"Yes," the warrior said.
Suddenly a small tremor as the fire nation ships had let down their ramps and soldiers poured out. General RAAM stomped down the ramp, his huge boots making a clang, clang, clanging noise as he walked on the heavy metal. A group of kids followed behind him; a blonde spiky haired boy with blue eyes and odd whisker-like marks on his cheeks, a girl with pink hair cut short and finally a black haired boy with his hands in his pockets and a "don't give a rat's ass" attitude, they all wore blue headbands with a strange metal plate with an insignia on it.
"So these losers destroyed our world?" the black haired one asked.
"Yes kill them and everything will return to normal," RAAM said.
"I call dibs on the spiky haired one," the blonde kid said before leaping ahead. Sora avoided the knives the kid shot out and before he landed rushed forward and stopped. Sora held out his fist and the kid ran straight into it. He reeled back, "Ah! Lucky shot!" he said wiping the blood from his crushed nose. "Hey Sasuke! A little help please?" the blonde kid yelled as he popped his nose back into place. "You are such a loser, Naruto," Sasuke said as he vanished.
He reappeared behind Sora and got him in the back with a knife. Sora grunted in pain but simply reached back and pulled the knife from his shoulder blade. He backhanded Sasuke and pulled out the keyblade which had become progressively darker over the past few months. He swung it but for some reason stopped an inch from Sasuke's throat. He turned his head, unable to move anything else and he saw a kid with a ponytail standing there. Their shadows were linked somehow. "What the!" Sora exclaimed.
"Sasuke, now!" the kid yelled. "Right!" he yelled back. Sasuke pulled out a Kunai and stabbed Sora in the gut. Sora coughed up a good amount of blood. Katara gasped, "No!" she screamed. She pulled out all of the water in her pouch and whipped Sasuke away. Sasuke recovered quickly, "What the? No handsigns and she can control water?"
Katara yanked the Kunai out of Sora. Sora quickly pushed her away, "Stay back!" he yelled as he held his head in pain. Katara noticed that Naruto had taken possession of the keyblade. Sora's teeth turned to fangs, his nails into claws, and a grey aura surrounded him. He bared his fangs at Sasuke. RAAM came up to Sasuke just as Sora did. "I have no use for you anymore. You re-opened the darkness in Sora's heart, thank you," RAAM said. Just as Sora and RAAM took one step towards Sasuke Sora spun on his heel and blocked RAAM's path. "What do you think you're doing? Stand down!" RAAM ordered.
"You actually think I would follow your orders and fall under your control so easily?" Sora started, "I intentionally gave that kid the chance to take my keyblade, the paralysis was unexpected and I didn't expect to get hurt but things don't always go as planned do they, Gorea?" Sora finished with a demonic smile. RAAM frowned, "So you figured it out did you?"
"It wasn't that hard. People from another world here without any help from a ship or the heartless, it was damned obvious," Sora chuckled.
"It's not Sora talking is it?" Gorea asked.
"Nope," he replied. The shadows lifted off of Sora and formed into Xehanort's Heartless Guard minus the straps on its face. It laughed and floated to Gorea's side. "Why don't we work together? We did so as the heartless ship, the World of Chaos, so why not now?" the Heartless asked.
"Sure, you can start by disposing of those annoying ninja," Gorea said.
"You got it!" he said. "Lightning Blade!" someone yelled out. Suddenly a blade of blue energy sliced through the heartless guard causing him to dissolve and retreat back into Sora. Gorea just barely had enough time to avoid the second swing. Gorea lead all of the troops back to the ships. The white haired assailant helped Naruto up, "You O.K?"
"I'll be fine, but what about…" Naruto began.
"Me? Oh, I'll be fine," Sora said standing next to Sasuke as the two walked over. "Now where's the keyblade?" Sora asked.
"Huh? Oh that thing I dropped it over there," Naruto said pointing over to a hut. Sora saw it and Keyblade returned to him in a flash of light.
"How did you do that!" the pink haired girl exclaimed walking alongside the guy with the ponytail.
"No time! I now of only one place those goons would attack next," Sora said just before he let out a shrill whistle. Genie appeared, "Yeah?" he asked.
"Genie, Road Trip!" Sora said and that got Genie to take out the magic motorcycle and the two were headed to Ba Sing Se.
"We gotta follow them!" Naruto yelled. Sasuke held him back, "With what! Our ride just sailed off!" He snapped.
"Don't worry I've got it covered," Aang said as he blew on his bison whistle.
Sora was speaking with the Earth King. "So why have you returned?" the Earth King asked.
"Your Majesty, the fire nation is planning a full out assault on the city," Sora said. The Earth King chuckled, "The Fire Nation has no chance of penetrating the walls." Genie poofed up a viewing portal and Sora pointed at RAAM, "They have help," Sora said. "What do you propose we do?" The Earth King asked.
"Give me a platoon of your best soldiers and I'll make it so they alone can defend the city," Sora said. "Done," the king replied.
Appa was flying over the plains between the outer and inner walls of Ba Sing Se and Naruto looked down. "There's Sora! He's down there with those soldiers," Naruto said.
Katara looked over the edge, "Aang bring us down."
Sora and one of the soldiers were facing off, "Attack me," Sora ordered. "What?" the soldier asked. Sora frowned, "You are the worst soldier in this platoon now hit me!" The soldier was enraged by Sora's last comment. He threw a punch sending a boulder hurtling towards Sora. Sora caught it and hurled it back and it caught the soldier in the forehead knocking him out.
"If there are no more questions then let's continue," Sora snapped, "Because the former General RAAM is leading the assault you'll be faced with creatures called Heartless, I'm here to teach you to destroy those creatures."
Sora clenched his fist and a rock molded into a Shadow Heartless. "This is the most common Heartless, a Shadow and its counterpart the Neo Shadow," Sora started as he made the rock reform into a Neo Shadow. "Now these are easy to kill but the one I'm going to teach you to kill is much tougher."
As Sora finished he assembled several tons of earth and molded it into a Darkside heartless. "Now without targeting me, take this thing down with the moves you know," Sora ordered. The soldiers began to hurl shards of earth at the artificial Heartless. The Heartless brought its fist back and drove it into the ground and the shockwave sent all of the soldiers flying.
"No! Damn it! You gotta think outside the box to defeat Heartless," Sora said as Toph got off Appa when he landed, "and size means nothing, I was only around Toph's height and I beat this size of Heartless. Toph would you show these soldiers how you'd take down this creature without smashing it."
Toph stomped on the earth and a paper-thin disk of rock rose up and she hurled it forward. The disk cut the artificial Heartless' head clean off. Sora allowed the creature to crumble by releasing his control over the earth.
Meanwhile behind the masked stranger a blob of black material appeared. He turned around and the thing knocked off his mask revealing the half decayed face of Sokka. It entered through his open eye socket and infected him. As soon as it was fully absorbed Sokka was fully healed and looked as if he had never died.
"Not wise to make deals with Xehanort," a voice in his head said.
"Who are you?" Sokka asked, "And how do you know of my deal with Xehanort?"
"Hello! I'm in your head I can read your memories like a book," it said, "All I need from you is the temporary use of your body, in return I'll restore your life." Sokka didn't even need to think about it. "Done deal."
Sokka was walking through Ba Sing Se with a hood on. He saw Katara with Sora. He wanted to intervene but he knew he had to keep a low profile. "What's the matter?" the voice said, "Don't like to see your sister with the guy who let you die?"
"No, I don't. Could you help me?" Sokka asked. "What with that, that's a walk in the park," the voice chuckled.
Sokka turned into a creature similar to Sora's Antiform except it had no hair and it had a huge set of sharp, gnarly teeth. It vanished from sight just as Sora turned around.
"What is it Sora?" Katara asked. "Nothing. I just thought we were being followed. Just as they passed an alley their friends appeared from around the corner. "Hey guys!" Katara said waving to them. Aang and Toph stared to walk towards the couple. Suddenly a set of black tentacles shot out of the shadows in the alley and wrapped around Sora's chest and waist.
"Hey twinkle toes let's chit-chat," a voice said just before Sora was pulled away. Katara drew out some water and sliced away the tentacles. Sora ran back into the street and people scattered to give him an escape route. The thing leapt at Sora and tackled Sora. Suddenly the creature felt a sharp blade pierce his back. He ripped the blade from his back and saw that it was a kunai. He looked towards its source and saw Naruto.
"Don't interfere!" it yelled as it charged. The kid vanished in the blink of an eye. A second person appeared and the creature got a foot to the face. It was Kakashi. The creature was sent hurtling into a building. It got up and saw Sasuke standing there with an over sized shuriken. "Demon wind shuriken!" He called out as he threw it like a buzz saw towards the pitch-black creature. The shuriken sliced off its arm and it let out a shrill shriek. It grabbed its arm and reattached it. "What the!" Sasuke exclaimed. The creature sneered at his opponent and then charged. Suddenly he heard, "Lightning Blade!" and jumped to his left. He passed Kakashi and clamped his teeth down hard on Kakashi's forearm destroying the lightning blade. He began to drag the shinobi along the ground at great speed. The creature then pulled a U-turn and rushed towards Sasuke and Naruto. He leapt up and launched Kakashi at the two. They all crashed and fell unconscious. Suddenly a fire blast made the skin on the creature's back squirm as though it were alive. It turned and saw the Blue Spirit. The Spirit drew his swords and charged. Suddenly a wall of earth separated them for a split second until Toph rode the wall and spoke to the Spirit. "You and Sora get those three out of here, Sakura will help you," Toph ordered. The Blue Spirit turned slightly to see a pink haired girl running past on the rooftops. He leapt up to join her and saw that Sora was already helping Naruto up. The creature turned around and charged after making quick work of the young earth bender. Katara stepped in between them and the creature halted very swiftly, its claws just a centimeter from Katara's neck. It backed away holding its head with one hand. It turned around and leapt off. Suddenly an earth kingdom soldier came running to the group. His outfit was singed. "Fire nation…on our shores," he collapsed. Sora stood and watched the creature run off and then change into a humanoid form. Sora turned around when the figure vanished from sight. Sora rushed to the front lines and joined the earth kingdom soldiers. RAAM appeared and had a million Armored Soldier Heartless behind him. He lifted his hand and the soldiers stopped. He saw Sora on the front lines and smiled, he dropped his hand and the army charged.
"Ready…" Sora rose his hand. The soldiers all brought up huge boulders.
"…Attack!" Sora yelled sending thousands of boulders hurtling towards the Heartless. A quarter of the Heartless vanished in the onslaught. The remaining Heartless climbed over the mountain of rock and went into a full sprint. Sora ordered the soldiers to attack and he pulled out the Keyblade. He leapt over the army and attacked RAAM. RAAM leapt back, his body disintegrated and something new appeared. A Heartless who resembled Xehanort's heartless, except his coat was gray and black. He had blue hair with a X-shaped scar on his face in between his eyes.
"Saix!" Sora exclaimed.
"Oh, I see you've met that loser Nobody of mine," he chuckled, "The name's Saiku."
Sora pulled out the Keyblade. He charged his opponent who promptly vanished. "Sora! Look out!" Naruto yelled. Sora looked in the direction of the shout and saw Saiku charging with a sword extended in front of him. Sora tried to block but for some reason he couldn't move at all. Suddenly two separate noises were heard. It sounded like 2000 chirping birds. Sora looked behind him to his left and right and saw Sasuke and Kakashi racing to his aid, their lightning blades drawn. Saiku barely avoided getting cut in half by the two blades. He teleported again and stood atop a strange mound of earth. He raised his arm and snapped his fingers. The earth split apart and a colossal heartless rose up. It had a stone, mask-like face. The eyes were the normal heartless yellow and the creature held a huge sword. Suddenly it roared and began to advance on the city. Saiku had vanished…
The creature from the incident in the city was on top of the outer wall. "You sure you want to do this?" the voice in his head asked. "I am," Sokka replied. "Very well, then take this to help your cause," the voice said as a flurry of flames appeared. The One-Winged Angel Keyblade appeared before the water tribe warrior. "What is this?" he asked.
"The only weapon that can defeat that monstrosity," it said. Sokka smiled as his creature form deteriorated and he looked human again. He possessed an outfit identical to Sephiroth's instead of his normal water tribe attire. His hair was let down and rested over his ears. He leapt off of the wall and towards the huge heartless.
Katara looked up and saw Sora in the Heartless' grip. "Sora!" she cried out. Suddenly a loud battle cry was heard followed by the sound of metal slicing through flesh. The heartless let out a loud bellow as it grabbed its stump of a wrist. A figure in a long black coat leapt down and threw Sora to the ground. He stood and faced the creature. Sora suddenly noticed the weapon the warrior was holding was a Keyblade.
"Wait that Keyblade is…" Sora muttered. The warrior looked back and smirked. The heartless took advantage of this distraction and scooped the warrior up in his good hand causing him to drop the Keyblade he was holding. Just as the warrior was about to be killed a pair of metal fans whirred up from the ground and jammed themselves into the brutes wrist forcing him to let go. The warrior looked down to see Suki standing there, he smiled. The warrior dropped only slightly before he vanished, he reappeared 100 feet above the Heartless' head and summoned his Keyblade back into his hand. A single black wing sprouted from his back and Sora gasped. The warrior held the blade over his head and a whirlwind surrounded him. He charged at the heartless. Suddenly the heartless was gargling and holding its throat. It fell back and the warrior landed in front of it as it faded away. Saiku reappeared where the heartless once was.
"Sephiroth! How dare you interfere with my plans!" he snarled.
"Sephiroth?" the warrior asked, "I don't know who you're talking about, I live here."
"Don't play stupid with me!" Saiku said as he charged. The warrior flipped him over and Saiku went back first into the outer wall of Ba Sing Se. He held his back and quickly realigned it with a series of pops. He opened a corridor of darkness and slipped through.
"Wait!" the warrior demanded as he leapt in after him. "Come on! Let's go!" Sora said as he ran through the portal followed by Katara, Aang, Toph, Suki, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi. When Appa tried to follow the corridor faded away.
Sora looked around, "This can't be…" He looked up and saw a sign on the side of a building that read "Fenton Works",
"We're back in Amity Park," Sora uttered.
