Chapter III: Radiant Garden and Halloween Town

With Xager gone the four finally hit Rage's ship and he gets it up and running. "Alright that should do it." he says pulling an emerald out of a pouch on his belt and inserting it into a pilot console.

"So what now?"Sora asks

"Well that's the trick." Rage says before punching the console and ripping the part with the emerald inside of it our. "There,"

"What was that for?" Sora yells

"We take it to the Gummi Ship and install it there." Rage says

"But what about your ship Rage?" Goofy asks

"It's an old model the second, the one I would use if I could find it is model VII or the seventh." Rage says "come on, I don't like the feeling of this place."

Back in the Bailey Riku and Leon were killing off the last of a small Heartless group when the others arrive. "There you are what is that?" Riku asks them

"It's what will get us from world to world no sweat." Rage says "I install this into the Gummi Ship we can get to all the worlds easy."

"Well what are we waiting for?!" Donald yells "Let's go!"

[Back in the Gummi ship]

Sora was sitting in the Pilot seat with Donald, Goofy, and Riku sitting in the chairs while Rage was down installing the unit. "alright there, I rerouted your warp drive systems to it so just go where you Keyblade tells you and it should warp us right there." Rage says looking at Sora

"Well let's try it out!" Sora says pushing a button and with a bright light they are transported to Halloween Town. "this is... Halloween Town." Sora says. Sora was his normal vampire like look along with Donald being a mummy and Goofy being the Frankenstein like version of his normal look. As for Riku he looked like a zombie, and Rage was his normal form... a Mobian Hedgehog only catch was he was a Werehog.

"What a strange place..." Rage says looking at the others. "You all look like monsters."

"Well your no gem yourself!" Sora says "look!" Sora hands Rage a reflective orb from a gravestone and he looks at himself.

"Whoa... I am back to normal...kind of..." he comments

"So this is what you normally look like? Claws and all?" Sora asks

"well not exactly... this is my old Werehog form... swore I got rid of it for good." Rage sighs "but why can't I swap..."

"What do you mean?" Riku asks

"Normally I can swap to my hedgehog form at will... but for some reason I cannot." Rage replies "It's weird the only time that has ever happened was when I was missing a Chaos Emerald..."

"Well is it possible you could be missing one Rage?" Sora asks

"No that cannot be it. I have all five with the two left on the ship in the console." Rage says

"Uh Rage you only had one in the console." Goofy says

"What?!" Rage yells looking in his pouch "one, two, three, four, five... CRAP! I am missing one... but that means... anyone could have it!"

"Looking for this?" a voice asks

"Xemnas!" Sora says as Xemnas appears holding the green Chaos Emerald

"You... give me back my emerald!" Rage yells "Or you will be sorry!"

"What a beautiful item what good does it do you Rage?" he asks

"You know my name... pleasant... but you do not know of the power they hold!" Rage replies "And by taking that Emerald you will be making an enemy you do not want."

"Hmm... perhaps I will keep it." Xemnas replies

"Not if I can help it!" Rage yells running for him but he vanished before Rage could reach him "Dammit!" he curses hitting the ground.

"Sora, Donald, Goofy Riku!" a voice comes from behind them as they turn to see Jack Skellington and Zero "Good to see you, who's your new friend?"

"My name is Rage Chaotic, but just call me Rage." Rage replies "and you are?"

"Jack Skellington the King of Halloween!" Jack says as he pops up behind them with a scary face on scaring everyone but Rage "Awe... you're not scared?

"Nice try but I lived with two brothers for a long enough time in my childhood their pranks and their scare attempts were a lot so such things do not work anymore. Besides a place like this I expect some thing to try and pop up and scare me." Rage replies

"Humph." Jack grunts

"HELP!" a voice is heard from the town square

"The mayor!" Jack gasps running for the square

"Hay Wait up!" Sora yells as Donald, Goofy, Riku and Rage follow him as they follow Jack to the town square and find Heartless swarming with the mayor yelling at them.

"Well looks like we got work to do!" Sora says summoning his Keyblade

"Let's make this quick." Rage says summoning his Keyblade and leaping for the Heartless making quick work of them with the others. After Riku takes care of the last one the group looks to see a black hedgehog that looked like Rage a little but his eyes were glowing and he was a lot skinnier and not as furry.

"Who are you?" Sora asks

"Christain!" Rage growls "I knew it."

the black hedgehog looks at Rage surprised "You survived, Rage... what a surprise."

"Yeah I did you thought I would go down that easily?" Rage responds

"Well with your Nobody being around I figured." Christain responds

"Rage who exactly is this?" Sora asks

"I can tell you later..." Rage growls "Right now we need to stop him!" he yells running for Christain but is blocked by a large creature. The creature looked like a large skeleton on a horse made of pure darkness.

"I am afraid I have matters to attend to... you can play with my Dark Spawn however." Christain laughs disappearing into the darkness as the Dark Spawn roars.

"We got your back." Sora says as the beast charges for them. At the last moment they roll out of the way making it miss.

"Thunder!" Donald yells striking the beast with lightning making the bones fall down and the horse was lost.

"That's it shock it when it has the horse!" Sora says as they begin to attack it with all their might slowly it was weakening it.

"Time to put this to end!" Rage yells "Get back!" he tells his friends and the leap back not knowing what he was doing but then he glows "Icy Chaos Dash!" he yells and in the blink of an eye Rage was on the back side of the skeleton beast and it suddenly turns to ice. Rage returns to a normal position and the beast falls over shattering on impact.

"Nice going Rage!" Sora cheers

"thanks," he replies

"Well done Sora, Donald, Goofy, Riku, Rage." Jack says "Come back soon for Christmas okay?" he waves as they return to the Gummi Ship

"Christmas there?" Rage asks

"Trust me you don't want to know." Donald says
