Author's notes: Now I'm giving you evidence of the Silence being present here and some references to past Doctor Who episodes. Also, because Nolanverse Batman was the only superhero in his world, he never met Superman and the only alien he has ever met and worked with is the Doctor. That is why he has some difficulties to accept his current surroundings and these new people. And again for KH fans, THIS IS AN AU! Whatever you remember from the games don't work here, those times have been rewritten. Big time!

Chain of Memories

''So what you are saying is that this is a prince, Sora, has to save the princess, you, from the evil cultists- scenario,'' Batman said after Kairi had told him what she knew.

Princess of Hearts was what Kairi had told Batman who she was. Something that her captors, Organization XIII, believed they needed to open something called the Kingdom Hearts. Sora was apparently the prince with a key based and styled sword-gun, that could open the Kingdom Hearts by releasing hearts stolen by shadow creatures called Heartless. By opening the Kingdom Hearts the Organization XIII, who had no hearts and were just Nobodies(''WHAT!''), could get hearts and…

''Argh!'' Batman sighted with growl and shook his head. He accepted that these people were humanoid aliens, but all that alien stuff was much to swallow.

''You believe me?'' Kairi asked as Batman seemed to have a headache.

''I have met the man who called himself the Oncoming Storm, so yes,'' Batman said showing himself fine. ''All that you told me was just, almost too much.''

Kairi smiled a little showing she was now more comfortable around Batman. ''And who are you and why are you?''

''I'm Batman and if that organizer wanted to take you to Sora, that means he is also in this castle,'' Batman said ready to move on. ''Let's go find him.''

In the TARDIS the Doctor was doing something he usually didn't like doing. He was going through historical records which he found rubbish. Everything he could find about the Silence that he might have missed or forgotten since his previous encounter with them. After 1969, when the Doctor had fooled them to order humans to kill them on sight, there was very little to be found as their numbers had dropped. These records also were little vague and not fully trust worthy, making the Time Lord wonder what River could have possibly seen in them that made them so wonderful to her. Some or most of these records were only speculations of possible seen and forgotten encounters.

''Damn that memory profess,'' the Doctor muttered when Clara and Selina ran to him. Selina was wearing her cat suit.

''Doctor!'' Clara said showing him Selina's hand palm. ''One of them got into the TARDIS!''

''Why is she wearing that?'' The Doctor asked he took Selina's gloveless hand.

''I had it under my cloths, but I don't remember changing,'' Selina said scared and angered. ''I checked my palm, but it didn't blink.''

''Ah, that was my fault, I forgot to tell you to press it to activate it,'' the Doctor said and hit himself in the forehead. Then he saw his own hand palm. ''Mine is blinking.''

The Doctor pressed the blinking light in his hand and they all listened.

''You''! The Doctor's voice said in the loud speaker. ''Why and where did you take Batman!?''

''The Object in the way of the Force had to be hidden,'' answered a voice that sounded like coughing in a vacuum. ''Their reunion will bring the falling of the Silence.''

"Reunion? What reunion?''

''It is once the unstoppable force reunites with the immovable object,'' Silent's voice said, ''that is when the Silence will fall all over the existence.''

''So you took Batman to keep that from happening!'' Selina's voice yelled accusingly. ''You made sure that he would have to carry that bomb to ocean so you could take him from us! FROM ME!''

''Damn that memory profess.''

''Doctor! One of them got into the TARDIS!''

''Well that helped lots,'' the Doctor said as he began to press buttons and turn switches on the console.

''You know where we can find Batman?'' Selina asked hopefully.

''No, but I know someone who knows lots about the Silence,'' the Doctor said as the TARDIS began to fly to its next destination. ''We're lucky if he knows how 'force and object' are connected to Batman and where he is at the moment.''

At the castle Batman and Kairi moved stealthy in their quest to find Sora. Batman had given her small lessons in crouching and walking silently as they moved. Fighting was something which unfortunately would have taken long to be taught so Batman had given Kairi the explosive gel gun in case they got jumped by those breathing statues. Also telling Kairi how Batman had ended up into the castle had built some kind of trust between them.

''Pull the trigger to shoot it and press down your thumb for detonation,'' Batman told Kairi how to use her given weapon.

''Where do you assume we find Sora?'' Kairi asked as Batman activated his cowl's vision mode and began to scan the castle for other people. He picked up someone standing in the tallest tower, two persons in the other side of the castle and five people two levels lower.

''Who did you Sora was travelling with?'' Batman asked while looking at the ones below them. ''A humanoid duck and a humanoid dog?''

''Captain Goofy and the Duck Avenger, yes'' Kairi said nodding her head. Batman shook his head out of frustration as he still had trouble adjusting to be working with aliens.

''They are two levels lower from our position.''

On their way, they came across a hall that had 13 offline platforms. Batman shrugged it off as he assumed they were holographic statues of every organization member. Kairi attempted to turn one of them online, but Batman stopped her and growled: ''Later, if we have time.''

The plan in Batman's head was to reunite Kairi with her prince and then resume investigating why he was here. If this castle was a spaceship, there might have been a communications station somewhere in it and Batman could hopefully use that to try contact the TARDIS. After having worked with the Doctor, he would have been able to help him understand this weird environment and…

''Hide,'' Batman whispered to Kairi, waving his cape around her.

The cowl's vision mode had picked up a new echo construction. It was tall and slender, looking straight at them. A new type of an alien, that seemed to be wearing a suit and tie. Covering Kairi with his cape with his left hand, Batman raised his right hand ready to throw a Batarang at the alien if it tried to attack them.

''Saix,'' the alien said, its voice sounding like it was coughing in a vacuum. ''Her captor's name was Saix and there are others.''

''Who?'' Batman asked, confused, but ready to fight.

''Ximbar and Luxord,'' alien's echo said as its head sent sound waves. ''They are led by Xemnas.''

''There are only four of them?'' Batman noted from the alien's speech, still ready to attack. ''Why are you telling me this?''

''Because you won't even remember it.''

''Why are you holding me under here?'' Kairi asked suddenly. Batman looked at her and then back at the alien, only to see it gone.

''Didn't you see that alien over there?'' Batman said pointing to where the alien's echo construction had been.

''No, what alien?'' Kairi asked confused. ''We were coming through here and suddenly you were holding me under your-''

Batman lifted his finger as a sign of silence and turned off the cowl's vision mode. He looked at Kairi with bare eyes, then with vision mode, bare eyes again and understood what was going on.

''Because you won't even remember it,'' Batman repeated. ''That is what the alien said. You don't remember seeing it because you saw it with you bare eyes''.

''What alien?'' Kairi asked again and Batman grabbed her left hand. ''What are you..?''

But she saw what Batman meant. Kairi had a marker, from the bag she had hanging form her waist, on her right hand and a drawn tally mark on left. She looked Batman in the eyes with worry and fear in hers.

''I don't remember drawing that,'' Kairi said scared. ''How can you remember it?''

''Because I didn't see it,'' Batman said turning the vision mode on. ''I only saw the echo made from its breathing and other sounds. Whatever it was, it has the ability to edit itself out of our memories as soon as we look away from them.''

''But can you remember hearing it?'' Kairi asked to which Batman nodded.

''And know that an encounter has happened by drawing to your hand,'' Batman said pointing out the tally mark in Kairi's arm. ''Or not looking at them when they appear and listen while others talk to them.''

''You can also record the encounter as it happens'', Kairi said pulling a recorder from her waist bag.

Batman nodded and looked at Kairi with proud smile.

''If we get separated, turn that recorder on and keep checking your arms for tally marks.''

The TARDIS materialized and her Doctor stepped out, followed by his companions. They were outside a cave like crypt.

''You took us to see a mummy?'' cat suited Selina asked as she saw the surroundings.

''This is the Seventh Transept,'' the Doctor said walking towards the entrance, ''where the Headless Monks store the leftovers of their converted members.''

"Leftovers?'' Clara repeated confused, until she saw skulls lying on the floor and shelves on the walls.

''I did say Headless Monks, didn't I?'' the Doctor said, simulating a cutting on his head.

Both Clara and Selina reacted to this by shocked gulps. Walking through the cold lighted crypt's corridors, the women's shock grew even more as they saw shelves filled with skulls that moved to watch them as they walked past. The Doctor however seemed calm like he had been there before.

''Why are we here?'' Selina asked the Doctor, using anger to hide her fear of the place. She had gotten used to seeing dead bodies but not living skulls.

The Doctor answered by pointing at a box sitting on an elevated pedestal. He walked to the box and opened its sliding door, revealing to Clara and Selina the inside.

''As I said, the Headless Monks store the leftover heads of their converted members here. As you have seen, most of them have been left here to rot, but the rich and wealthy are able get special treatment. Like my old friend, Dorium Maldovar, here.''

''That... is a man's head'' Selina said in nervously. ''A blue man's head.''

''No, that is a... blue fat man's head'', Clara said in the same tone. ''Is it dead or just sleeping?''

''None of the skulls and heads in here are dead,'' the Doctor told them. ''That's why there are no rats.''

The Doctor snapped his fingers near the head's face, waking it up.

''Hello again, Dorium.''

Author's notes:

Okay, in Pandorica Opens the Silence was present but wasn't seen, because of the memory profess, but River heard them saying Silence will fall multiple times before the TARDIS exploded. Since the Silents' voice can remembered, Batman could remember seeing them with his cowl's sonar vision, the one from The Dark Knight's climax against the Joker's thugs and saving the hostages, because he didn't actually see them, but the echo constructs made from their breathing and walking sounds.

And in the next chapter the answer to the Force and the Object will be revealed, but they will bring more questions.

Also that hall Batman and Kairi walked through, has something connected to the Doctor. Wait until you you see how.

Oh, and did you like the Wild Wild West reference in the end?
