Chapter 2: The Castle Oblivion

Yori, Squidward, and Patrick are seen as they were left before following Gary. They reach a four way path That is until he heard a voice which reminded Yori of a reality show host the boy turns around to see a black cloaked man standing before them. "Ya know little dude, what you're looking for may just be down the road ahead?"

Yori turns around to face the man but he disappeared. "What the?" Squidward said. The trio look around for the mysterious figure but then reappeared behind them. "Yoo-hoo over here boys." The hooded man teased. Yori turns around and faces him.

"Although kiddo," the hooded figure continued. " there may be a teeny-tiny chance you'd have to lose the thing you hold dear to you. To get your objective."

The man turns around and disappears. Yori runs over to confront him but the stranger was already gone.

The trio looks ahead down the road to see a strange castle.

"What the heck is that supposed to be?" Squidward questioned.

Yori takes a deep gulp and says. "Well, there is one way to find out."

As they continue to venture into the castle. "Um...guys do ya think this could be considered breaking in?" Patrick asked.

"Of course not." Squidward said. "We still have to find the King don't we?"

"The King?!" Patrick said as he started looking around frantically. "Where?! Here?"

Squidward nodded. " Of course you Barnical head. I just have a strange feeling he's here somewhere."

Patrick thought for a second. "Hmm, now that you mention it I've been think in' the same thing to."

"Oh. That must hurt huh?" Squidward said.

"Really, I'm having that strange feeling to! One look at this place and I get this strong feeling that Terran and King SpongeBob are here. There is no doubt about it." Yori told his friends.

"I guess great minds think alike." Patrick said.

"Patrick. There is no way I think the same way you do." Squidward said in a sour voice.

Slim, Stinky, and Fatso appeared before them with propellers sing "Flight of the Valkyries"

"Hold on a sec," Slim said. "What makes you fleshes think it ain't just a big coincidence?" The ghost asked. "Yeah he does have a point." Fatso said.

"Bah! What do you three bumble heads know?" Squidward sneered.

"We had that same theory about you're friends to." Stinky informed.

"Are we sick?" Patrick said in panic. "Is...is it contagious?"

Squidward rolled his eyes at the starfish. "No you Barnical head! Something crazy is going on here and we gotta find out."

"Alright. Let's go." Yori suggested could they finally find their friends.

Yori begins to walk towards the door towards the end of the hall. Squidward jumps up and shouts

" And where in the name of Neptune are you going!?"

"I'm going that way." Yori said pointing in the direction of the door. "Why Squid,you scared?" Yori teased who received a scowl from the squid Mage.

Squidward scoffed. "Me? Scared? Ha! I'm not scared of a stupid door or a castle in that case."

"Prove it." Yori told him.

"Alright. I will!" Squidward said accepting the challenge. " Come on Patrick." As he interred Castle Oblivion after Yori.

"Hey Guys!" Patrick called out running in after them. "Wait for me!"

Once inside they heard a single slow applause. The trio spin around to see the same hooded man standing before him. "Bravo! Bravo! You guys made it. By the way Yori, huge fan." The man said with a thumbs up.

"That's it. Who the heck are you?" Yori demanded summoning his Keyblade.

"Hold on I'll take care of this clown." A frustrated Squidward said as he brought out his Clarinet Staff and played it but noting happened it played its normal horrendous sound.

After a while, Squidward ran out of breath and stopped to take one. "What...the heck is going on here?"

The Hooded Man laughed. " Let me explain it how you losers can understand, shall we?" He mocked the heroes. " From the moment you three suckers stepped foot in this place, you forgot every single spell and every little trick you ever do, talk about short term memory, of course this is done by this beautiful little place I like to call The Castle...Oooooblivian!" He announced. " here when you lose it, you find it and if ya find it, well you've guessed it you lose it. By the way I am not responsible for any "accidents" or "fatalities" that may happen to you or your friends." He said in the form of a cough.

"Wait a minute Castle Oblivion?" Yori asked.

The man disappears once again then reappears behind Yori. "Yep," the man said popping the p. " here you will meet people you have known in the past. And you will also meet people you miss."

Yori stood there puzzled for a while.

"People he will miss? Uh...I don't get it." Patrick asked.

"I miss..." Yori trailed off. "Terran? You mean Terran is here?" He asked the mysterious man.

"Ha! If that's all ya want is to find him..." The Mysterious Man said then he summoned a torched staff that looked like a Tiki Torch.

The Cloaked Figure casts one of his flames at Yori but the young Keyblader blacked the attack. "Whoa ho ho! That was sick bro!" He told Yori as he rose up into the air and became transparent then flew right at Yori who swung his Keyblade but slashed through him like water and flew right through the boy.

Then the man reappeared as he did Yori jumped in the air at an attempted to slash him but a Tv static engulfed the screen and when it was restored the man was gone.

"Wha...?" Yori gasped.

The static returned as well as the man leaned up on a pillar of the castle casually. Yori and his friends run at him.

"What did you do?!" Yori demanded.

"Whoa relax kid I just um..."borrowed" some tiny bit of your memories." The man said making air quotes at the word borrowed meaning he basically stole them. " But with those memories I was able to make this bad boy for the show of a life time, you can say I am the host of this show." The man then opened his hand and a floating card appeared. " and you my friend will be a part of my little show and this will add extra juicy drama once you reunite with your little friends ya hold dear."

The man flicked the card at Yori making him catch it. "And what's this supposed to be?" The boy asked.

"Oh so now you're interested in being a part of my game." The man taunted. "Alright Yori bro, here's the sitch this card is a promise to earn your way to the reunion you're looking for." The man explained. " Now all ya gotta do is to walk up to a door hold this thing up and Wham! You've made your way to a new world." Then looked down at the boy. "Well what are ya waitin' for bro, go on the worlds aren't going to save themselves. Oh and there is one thing a forgot to mention you're going to gain something but you're also going to lose something, make sense?"

"I guess so?" Yori said a little confused.

The man exits into a dark portal. The trio gasp then Squidward, Patrick, and The Ghostly Trio watch Yori who was staring intently at the card.

"C'mon guys," Yori said. "Let's get going."

The heroes open the door with the card and walk through it.
