As they explored the town and headed into an alley, Sora was looking around. "Not sure why, but it feels like I've been to this town before."
"I dont think we should tell him yet." Hope said as they walked into a small space where they three kids inside. One tall boy, a boy with a headband and a girl in orange.
"What do you want?" the tall boy asked.
"Oh, nothing. Just wondering what was back here." Sora said.
"Well, now you know this is our spot." the tall boy said as the other boy looked them over.
"You guys are new in town right? I'm Pence." the boy said.
"Hayner, all right." the tall one said.
"My name is Olette. Did you finish the summer homework yet? Independant studies are the worst." the girl said to them.
"Homework?" Sora said as he looked at the other behind him.
"So, what are your names?" Pence asked.
"Oh, We're Sora, Donald, Goofy and the Dimensional Heroes and Hope Squad." Goofy said.
"Sora, Donald, Goofy? We just met someone who was looking for you three. Same goes for Hope." Olette said.
"Sure seemed in a hurry. He had a black coat on so I couldn't see his face. But he had these...big round ears." Pence said.
"The King!" Donald said.
"Mickey. Where did you say he's waiting?" Hope asked.
"At the station. Just head up Sunset Street and you'll hit Sunset Station." Pence said.
As soon as they arrived to the station, they were soon beset by white humanoid creatures with rubber like bodies.
"What the heck? These don't look like heartless." Indigo said.
Sunset got a closer look at an emblem on their heads. "Guys. I think these are….Nobodies!"
"Like the organization guys with Black Coats? No way! These things are white. And worse, they dont have faces! How can they be?" Hope said looking the creatures over they pounced upon the heroes.
"Get gone!" Kanji shouted trying to hit on as it moved their bodies like they were liquid. "These things stretch like rubber and move fast. Keep a guard up!"
As they were fighting and tried to down them, a shape in a black coat with a golden keyblade jumped down and dealt with the remainder of them.
"No way, could you be…?" Sora started.
"Shhh. You gotta board the train and leave town. The train knows the way." the shape said holding out a munny pouch. "Here. This'll cover your expenses."
The formless nobodies got up.
"Argh, those things dont know when to quit!" Kanji said.
The shape then whistled as two familar heroes came down dealt with them easily before they could strike.
"No way, you two?" Hope said as he saw Ladybug and Cat Noir.
"Who were you expecting really?" Cat Noir said.
"They're here to help." the shape said.
"Were with him. Anytime youre in danger, we'll come running." Ladybug said before they ran off with the figure.
"The king? Was that really him?" Sora said.
"Well, it definitely looked like him." Goofy said.
"But, the king was locked in the realm of darkness right? And we just saw him now? So if he got out….that means Riku did too!" Sora said perking up.
"Wow. He really picked what he wanted after that." Nami said.
"So, after I find him, we're going to return to the island. Kairi's waiting. What about you two?" Sora asked Donald and Goofy.
"Geez, Sora. Did you really have to ask?" Goofy said as Sora was laughing.
"What's so funny?" Donald said.
"Your faces." Sora said as the two and the group joined in. "What do you say guys? One last journey together?"
"Yeah!" They all said.
"To...where again?" Sora said.
"We gotta board the train." Goofy said.
"And let's see….Whoa! There's 5000 munny in here!" Indigo said.
"Okay then, lets take this thing to whereever it wants to take us." Hope asid.
They all began to board the train as Sora was looking at the munny pouch as the kids from the spot saw this. Olette got out a similar munny pouch as she saw they were the same.
"Huh? Weird." Olette said.
Entering the train, it soon began to take off as Sora looked out the window. "You know...I'll miss them." Sora said.
"Us too. Even though we knew them for about several….minutes." Hope said as he saw a vision of Roxas in Sora's place before switching back to Sora. "Weird."
Hope then saw Rainbow looking at a blue crystal. "Where'd you get that?"
"It was in the bag with all that munny. Pretty cool though." Rainbow said.
"Yeah. But I can't help but wonder...if these items are more than they seem." Hope said.
The train soon stopped on a small strip of land. Looking up, they saw a very familiar tower with a magic hat with stars on top.
"This looks like some tower weve seen and.. Whos that at the entrance?" DOnals asked.
Rainbow recognized the shape and snickers. "He's not looking. I"m gonna try something."
She snuck over to the person blocking the door and cleared her throat.
"Ahem, hello there, mister. What are you doing?" Rainbow asked.
"Hehehe. I sent some of my lackies inside to see if the master of this tower is as strong as he is rumored to be. Word is he's an all powerful sorceror, and he'd make the perfect bodyguard for me. Once he's a heartless, he'll have to do as I say." he said.
"A Heartless?" Donald siad as the trio ran up.
"That's right. They're those dark things that lurk in other people's hearts. Oh, why am I wasting time with you, little girl? Go on. Scram." he said.
"You should find something nicer to do." Goofy said.
"Says who?" he said turning around revealed to be Pete. "Gah! Ohhh. Its you!"
"Pete?" Donald and Goofy said.
"What are you two nimrods doin here?" Pete said.
"What are you doing here?" Donald shouted.
"Let me guess, you know him." Rainbow said.
"We sure do. Pete's be causing trouble for ages. Her majesty locked him up in another dimension a long time ago. I wonder how he escaped." Goofy said.
"You wanna know how eh? Well, Maleficent and Flux busted me out thats how!" Pete said. "Now your world, no, all the worlds, are gonna belong to yours truly! Cause...they...right. You guys...did her in." Pete said slowly realizing.
"Thought youd never realize it. And you forgot to tell them that We were the ones who did you in at Disney town." Rainbow said.
"Wait, you did?" Goofy asked.
"Oh, yes they sure did! They ruined my hero scam and got me kicked out by letting, Rainbow hair, texas cowgirl, blue hair, blue man and the cotton candy hair win." Pete said.
"And I ate the ice cream prize." pinkie said.
"And she ate the ice cream prize." pete added.
"You never change, do ya Pete? Well, you may have escaped punishment, but were gonna put you back where you belong." Goofy said getting his Knight's Shield.
"Ha! Even if you beat me and my squad, It'll already be too late! My advace team might have already turned him by now." Pete said.
"Wait, Pete. Isnt this tower supposed to be where Yen Sid lives?" Hope asked.
"Yeah. So what?" Pete said.
Donald jumped in surprise. "You mean to tell me Master Yen Sid lives here?" Donald said running inside.
"Yen Sid is the kings teacher." Goofy said.
"Sounds powerful." Sora said as he and the others ran in leaving Pete in the dust.
"Dang it! Why did I go and tell them that?" he shouted.
They ran up the steps and battled hartless grunts along the way before smashing through the door to Yed Sid's chamber.
"Dont worry Master Yen Sid! Were here to help…" Donal said before seeing Yen sid sitting peacefully in his office. "...you?"
"Is that any way to treat your elders?" Yen Sid asked. "Even one who can handle himself?"
"Oh, right. Hes okay, guys!" Donald said.
"We know." Hope said.
"Ah, there are some faces I havent seen for years. The young hope and as Keyblade Master Aqua. Its good to see you both." Yen Sid said.
"Master." Aqua said bowing as did Hope.
"So, this boy is Sora. I must ask, have you seen the king?" Yen Sid asked.
"Yeah. But he ran off before we could talk with him." Chopper said.
"Yes. He is quite busy these days. So it appears the task of instructing you lot falls upon my shoulders." Yen Sid said.
"I dunno why you see that as a bad thing." Hope said. "Any way, we've just barely survived an attack by…"
"Nobodies, I know." Yen Sid said.
"You know what they are?" Hope said before seeing a small projection of the ones who attacked them at the station. "When someone with a strong will becomes a heartless, the empty shell they leave behind acts on a will of its own. They may pretend to have feelings but, Nobodies don't really exist at all."
"Nobodies...they don't exist." Sora said.
"Now, the one you see before you is known as a Dusk. On your journey, you'll see countless Dusks who intend to do you harm." Yen Sid said.
"Dusks huh. So, there are different types of Nobodies." Aelita said.
"Now, allow me to present another class." Yen Sid said as a figure in a black coat appeared on the desk. "These are a special class of Nobody who retains their memories of their former life and still go on. These ones have formed a group known as Organization XIII. They appear to be working toward a goal, but what this goal is is yet to be known."
"We've met them before." Hope said. "Theres this one called Axel, and he seems like one not to take orders. And two others, Roxas and Xion. Who knows where they are now."
"I see. The information you have given could prove useful." Yen Sid said. "I thank you, Hope the Victor."
"Your welcome." Hope said.
"Now, there has to be something down...about Sora's attire." Yen Sid said. "Those clothes appear much to small for you. Through that door, you will find three good fairies who will get you new traveling garments."
They went through the door to see three familiar looking fairies.
"Look girls. Sora, Donald, Goofy and the Dimensional Heroes and Hope Squad." Flora said.
"Flora, Fauna and Merryweather! You work for Yen Sid now?" Fluttershy asked.
"Of course dearie. We need to do something since Aurora is now married to the prince." Fauna said.
"Now, let's do something about those clothes." Flora said as the magic hit Sora, turning his clothes pink.
"Oh no, not pink! Make them blue." Merryweather said turning the clothes blue.
"Gah, Merryweather! Make them pink." Flora said turning them back.
"Er, might I have a go?" Fauna asked. She then hit Sora turning his clothes green.
"This is getting us nowhere." Hope said.
"Come on. Can't you just decide?" Sora asked.
"Oh. All right. All together girls." Flora said as they hit Sora as the same time. Sora was now in a black hoodie and pants with some sort of laces over them as well as black gloves and black and yellow shoes.
"Those clothes have magic powers deary. Take this orb and see." Flora said as a yellow orb appeared. Absorbing it, Sora changed into red clothing while wielding a second keyblade in his other hand.
"Oh I know that form!" Pinkie said.
"Yeah, Weiss changed into something like that during her fight with Vexen." Ruby said.
"Oh! Is that true, Miss Schnee?" Fauna asked.
"Yes. I just mustered my courage and it happened. I was wielding two swords and I beat Vexen with it. It felt like a surge of fire going right through me." Weiss said.
"I got one like that two. My outfit turned blue and i felt more calm than usual. Even Sugarcoats cross armor achived it."
"Mine too. And I think mine and Sugarcoats are special." Indigo said.
"Yes. It is a bit strange, but it felt amazing." Sugarcoat said.
"Now, there's something else for you. From Master Yen Sid." Fauna said.
Upon returning to the chamber, they saw a familiar blocky looking ship flying outside.
"Its the Gummi Ship!" Donald said.
"We found it flying around the lanes looking for you. I instructed Chip and Dale to come here as they were happy to see you all alive." Yen Sid said.
"So, what do we have to do now? Find more keyholes?" Hope asked.
"You sealed all the keyholes. But there is something. Whenever you reach a new world, you may encounter a light in the sky. As soon as you see it, lock it with your keyblade. New paths will open as you do. As soon as it is locked, returned to your ships immediately." Yen Sid said.
"Why? What are those holes in the sky called?" Hope asked.
"What they are called is not your important issue. You will just have to put trust in this." Yen Sid said.
"Right. I understand." Hope said as they headed to their ships.
"Good luck...all of you." Yen Sid said.
"Okay, you guys know the drill." Donald said as they took flight. "No frowning. Smiles only!"
"Yeah, we havent forgotten." Hope said.
"Okay. So, our first stop is wak! Our world identifier! Its been removed!" Donald said.
"So we can't get info ahead of time. And it looks like only one world is available." Sora said.
"Wait! I think this is one we know." Goofy said as they flew towards it.
