Chapter 4:The Key
Yori walked over to a building with the name Spacely's Sprockets. He walked over to what he guessed was a door he gets ready to knock but, was then sucked up into a tubular thing and was thrown around in a slide and then dropped feet first and surprisingly landed perfectly on his feet.
There he say a skinny red headed guy who was stacking box's and looked like he was really busy and another guy looked like he was his boss he was a shorter man with black partially bald head with a mustache he was sitting at the front desk which, was levitating off the ground the man was counting munny. They were both wearing futuristic clothing.
The boss looked up and noticed Yori standing in front of him,"oh, hi there welcome to Spacely's Sprockets." He then left his floating desk and said," excuse me while go get my only employee to assist you."
"Oh, no sir that won't be necesar.." The man left the room before he could finish his sentence.
"Jetson!",he shouted."get in here and help me with this Sucker...er..I mean paying customer." He said,
The two men entered the employee said,"Hello, welcome to Spacely's Sprockets may we be of service?"
"is there anything you would like to buy?" the boss asked, with a bit eagerly with a little twitch in his eye.
"Oh no I don't want anything, I was just wondering if either of you could tell me where I am and what's going on, my name is Yori by the way." The boy said,
"I'm George Jetson and this is my boss Spacely," the man answered." And for where you are you are in Traverse Town."
"Traverse Town?"
"Yeah, Traverse Town," Spacely answered," you see, when our world was destroyed I, , decided to reopen Spacely's Sprockets here. Say kid are you sure your not going to buy anything?" He said a bit aggravated and was a bit pushy.
George went over to Yori and said," we lost everything when our home was destroyed, Including my family..."he trailed off with some tears in his eyes.
"And all those paying costumers." Spacely chimed in completely bawling.
"This is like our new home."George said,"to bad I can't enjoy it, sense our world was destroyed,that made short handed making me his only employee, so I have to work every hour of the day to help him keep the shop running."
"I bet you miss your family, huh."Yori asked.
George sighed."I just hope there ok."
"Me too with my friends, I've never actually had a real family but, their the closest thing I've got to one."he said.
"Well,"said George."I hope you find them soon."
"You and me both." Yori said,"where ever they are."
For a while there was an awkward silence.
"Well, I'm going to get going."Yori said,"nice meeting you guys."
" it's been a pleasure,"said Spacely."oh, and before we forget there are these weird creepy black things with big yellow eyes stomping around out there, their called Heartless, they're bad for business. So keep your eyes peeled."
"Ok thanks."
"Oh, and kid" Spacely said," if your not going to buy anything then get out!"
shoved Yori into the pod he came through and was sucked back up then dumped outside of the factory.
"And don't come back unless you plan on buying something, cheapskate!"Spacely yelled,
Yori dusted himself of and moved on.
Elsewhere-
"Gah! How hard is it to find one ogre!" Squidward shouted impatiently,
"Don't worry Squidward, we'll find him, even if it takes all night." Said Patrick.
"All...night" Squidward whimpered.
"God, I hope we find Shrek soon."
Yori's side of town-
Meanwhile, Yori is walking down a vacant crosswalk of the town.
"Hmm, Heartless I can take them." He said arrogantly," and who does he think is calling ME...a cheapskate, what am I so worried about?"
"Well, for starters they will sneak up out of nowhere and attack at any moment." Said a new voice, Yori turned around and saw a big green ogre.
"Who are you?" Yori asked,
"But, I wonder why it would choose a young pipsqueak like you." The ogre said,
"Hey, I believe I asked you a question!" Yori said.
"Names Shrek and I'll be seeing that Keyblade for a bit."
"Over my dead body!"
"Well, you want to do it this way."
The ogre charged at the boy he dodged and hit him singing Shrek staggering back. Yori tried to run for it but, then Shrek took out an onion and thew it at the boy. It exploded knocking Yori to the ground unconscious.
"Oh dear, wasn't that a little much?" Said Peach,
"What I asked nicely didn't I, besides what was I supposed to do?"
Meanwhile-
"Um, Squidward there's no one here. It's kind of scary."
"Ah, what are you so afraid of," Squidward said."look at me, do I look scared to you?" Then a green hand reached up and grabbed him making him scream.
"Pardon me, I didn't mean to scare you but did your king send you by any chance?" Said A female ogre with red hair and wearing a crown and a green dress.
"Who are you?" Patrick asked,
"My name is Fiona and I can help you. How about we go some wear where we can talk."
Other side of town-
Yori was still unconscious laying on the ground, his Keyblade was next to Shrek, as Peach goes over to Yori and tugs on his shirt trying to wake him up then, snaps her fingers in front of his face.
"Oh no! You were rough with him."she said.
"Shall I do the honers?" Said B.O.B, a blue one eyed blob.
"Ok, go ahead if you can wake him up."she said.
B.O.B went over to Yori "this should do the trick,maybe."
Then, he sucked in and belched blue goo all over him which, definitely woke him up."ugh, what the..."
"See, it worked ," B.O.B said,"you alright little buddy?"
"I guess..."Yori said,
Peach then said, while brushing some of B.O.B's slime off of Yori," those horrible creatures are after that Keyblade," she then pointed at the weapon." That's why they were attacking you."
"Luna?...is that you?"Yori asked still kind of dazed, "oh no I'm afraid not my name is Princess Peach."
Luna's face turned into Peach's.
"Shrek, you were rough with him!" Peach scolded.
Shrek scowled,"for the last time,I was not rough with him. "
"B.O.B, help me out here."
The blob was kind of in his own little world at the moment. Then looked at Shrek who was looking at him for support.
"Huh,oh sorry I wasn't paying attention. Now what were you saying?" Shrek groaned and shakes his head.
"my..Keyblade.." Yori managed to say,
"Yeah, we had to take it from you to protect your heart from those Heartless. That's how they were finding you."Shrek replied.
Peach chimed in and said," he's right we did it to conceal your heart. But, it won't hold them long they'll be looking for you eventually."
B.O.B picked up Yori's Keyblade and made a few practice swings with it, he fumbled it until Shrek took it from him and gave it back to Yori.
"But, still it's hard to believe the Keyblade chose you of all people,but, I guess it is what it is." Shrek said.
Yori then said," how about you three start making some sense, like what's going on?"
"But, I don't have any money on me."said B.O.B confused.
"Since." Yori said. "Not Cents."
In the Lobby-
"Ok, so you know there are other worlds outside yours and mine,right?" Asked Fiona.
"Yeah but, what does that have to do with anything?" Asked Squidward.
"And isn't it supposed to be a secret?" Patrick said, then gasped and covered his mouth.
"That's how it's been, well, when they were connected "Fiona said." But, ever sense the Heartless came along everything changed."
Back to Yori-
"The Heartless?" Yori said." You mean Those dark yellow eyed things?"
"Yup, that's them." Shrek answered.
"Those with out hearts." Peach added.
"It's darkness in people's hearts that attracts them." B.O.B explained, that was probably the smartest thing that he said the whole time.
"Darkness sleeps in every heart." Peach explained.
"By the way have you ever heard of The Dark one, Rumpelstilsken?"Shrek asked.
"Rumplestilsken?"Squidward questioned. "hm, first Shrek, now a Rumplestilskin? today really is the day for dumb names isn't it?'
Fiona said ignoring Squidward's comment,"yes, he calls himself the dark one after possessing a dagger when he killed the original dark one in his world," she continued." Then he started taking interest in The Heartless so much, that he observed them and reporting it in a very detailed report. He even destroyed his own world."
"Do you have the report?" Patrick asked.
"Unfortunately, the pages were scattered." She explained.
"Scattered as in gone."Squidward said, hoping for a good answer.
Fiona said."there are a lot of worlds out there."
Squidward groaned and said in a huff. " Of course they are, because that would've been WAY too easy."
"Maybe, the king went to look for them."Patrick suggested.
"Those were my thoughts as well."
"Then we need to find him now." Patrick announced.
Squidward knocked on Patrick's head like he would a door and said.
"Hello, earth to bolder breath! We need to find that "Key" before we look for anything else."
"Oh yes, The Keyblade."
Yori's side of town-
"So this is the key?" Yori said lifting his Keyblade.
"Your right, your catching on." Said Peach.
"Those Heartless are scared of The Keyblade," explained Shrek." That's why they keep coming after you and the will continue to no matter what."
"Well, I didn't ask for this." The boy said, pointing at his Keyblade." But, I'm not complaining either."
B.O.B chimed in and said."what kind of chosen do you not understand?. No really for me it's the Ch and just makes a weird sound and you can hardly hear the H part."
"What he's getting at is the Keyblade has chooses it's wielder and it chose you." Said Peach nudging him with her finger as she pointed at him.
"Yeah!" B.O.B said excitedly then got confused and said." Wait?...what?"
"So in other words." Shrek began."to bad so sad."
"But, how did all this happen?" Said Yori," all I remember is being in my room back at my island looking at the stars."
Yori stopped and gasped." What happened to my island, my friends Terran? Luna?"
"To be honest I don't know." Explained Shrek."but, what I do know is those things will be coming for you soon. So get prepared."
Yori scoffed arrogantly." Get Prepared? Oh please, this is all the preparation I need."
"Hm, I guess your right." The ogre said."but are you ready for the fight of your life?"
"Let's do this."
"Alright, B.O.B, Peach let's go Fiona is waiting for us in the plaza with two visitors." Shrek instructed.
Then, Peach screamed as a swarm
Of shadow Heartless appeared surrounding them.
Shrek turned to Peach and B.O.B and said." You two go to the plaza we'll catch up with you!"
Peach ran off but, B.O.B stood there with an absent expression.
"B.O.B!"
"Oh, sorry I was looking at that bird over there." He was obviously not paying attention."Get Out Of Here!" Yelled Shrek.
"Ok,ok I'm going, jeez" B.O.B said oozing away.
"Yori! Let's go!" Shrek ordered as he punt kicked one of the Heartless as if making a field goal.
"Shrek!"
"Don't worry about the little guys,"Shrek said."focus on the leader!"
Then, Shrek charged and plows through the heartless making a clear path for Yori.
(Battle information: defeat all the Heartless while making your way to the plaza.)
Yori summoned his Keyblade and sliced through some of the Heartless taking them out with a few swings. One of them tried to lunge at him but, Yori defeated it with his Keyblade.
He made it to the plaza but, nothing was there."hmm, could have swore the leader was here." Yori said to himself as he made his way to the courtyard.
Other side of town-
Meanwhile, Squidward and Patrick are trying to run as fast as they can but, ended up cornered."oh no, it's a dead end." Said Patrick in panic.
"Now remain calm it's just a little one." Said Squidward,"one spell and there toast."
Then the emblem heartless summoned some shadow Heartless.
Patrick then said."what do we do now?!"
Squidward scowled at the Heartless as he summoned his clarinet staff then he shook his fist at them and said." Well, I for one didn't come all this way to become lunch!" Then he shouted at them."Now! Get out of my way you bug eyed little freaks!"
Then, a few hours later they were thrown off of the roof screaming. While running
Yori looks up and sees a starfish and...what he assumed was a squid were flying at him. "Ahhh!" Yori exclaimed as he ran to try and avoid them, but they landed on him any ways. They all let out a painful grown.
Then, the duo got a good glimpse of the boy's weapon." The Key!" They exclaimed.
Then, the ground began to shake as the trio got back on there feet.
A innocent civilian was seen running until he was engulfed in darkness as the heartless captured his heart.
Then a large purple monstrous looking thing with horns on the cheek bones and one big one on its head and had a heartless emblem on its chest. The Behemoth Heartless let out a big load roar. Making Yori clinch his Keyblade and Squidward and Patrick did the same with there weapons.
"This must be the leader." Yori said.
"Leader?! leader of what?" Squidward asked frantically.
"I think this must be the one that's been drawing the other Heartless here," Patrick said."maybe if we defeat it the others will go away an peace will be restored."
Squidward gave the starfish a strange look." Who are you?"
"Now is not the time to chat," Yori said." That thing looks like it's fixing to charge!"
gaining the duos attention all three clinched there weapons readying for an intense battle.
(Boss info: Defeat the Behemoth Heartless)
(Battle Music:Emblem Heartless)
The Behemoth charged at the group and pounced in between the three of them sending the trio back. Then it started stomping its feet on the ground causing it to shake making Yori fall over then The Behemoth dive bombed him dealing a good bit of damage.
"Patrick! You hold that thing off i'll go heal this kid!" Said Squidward. Then the squid lifted his clarinet staff then pointed it at the boy a music note shape came out of it and Yori felt his health regenerate then, he got back to his feet.
"No that your done taking a nap," said Squidward rudely." We have work to do so get up you bumb!"
"Hey, you didn't have to be rude about it." Said Yori, there was no time to protest the squids comment because The Behemoth charged at them "I have any idea, if we get on the top of his head and possibly hold on we can hit his week spot which looks to be the big horn in the middle of his head!" Yori explained, Patrick and Squidward nodded .
"you guys distract it while I go up top!" He instructed.
Squidward looked as if he was about to protest but there was no time the giant heartless was about to attack. "Hey?! who died and made you the..." Squidward stops. " Ahh!" The Behemoth tries to stomp on Squidward but the squid quickly moves out of the way. "you know wht. never mind."
Squidward and Patrick charged at the Behemoth to attack it's feet to attract it's attention. They succeeded as the heartless tried to storm on them with its elephant like feet. While the Behemoth was distracted, Yori made his way up to the creatures head and started attacking his week spot making the heartless roar in pain.
The Behemoth tried to throw Yori off But, he managed to hold on still striking at its horn "a few mor hits and he should be done for." He thought to himself.
He continued to attack the creature with his Keyblade wearing it down.
Yori then jumped up and struck the Behemoth's horn one more time, this time it was a real powerful one delivering the final blow.
( Boss Music ends)
Yori stumbled a bit before falling off of the Behemoth as it devolved into darkness with one last ground shaking roar.
As the boy fell, Squidward and Oatrick caught him just in time before safely putting him back on the ground back on his feet.
"Hey!" Shrek shouted and kind of short of breath as he was running." You guys ok?"
"Oh so now the ogre shows up!" Squidward quipped." where were you an our ago!" then the three nodded, then Yori turned to Squidward and Patrick and asked."so are you guys looking for me?"
"Yup," answered Squidward.
"They have been looking for the Keyblade as well." Shrek explained.
"Say, kid, how would you like to come with us on our vessel? We can explore other worlds." Squidward offered. Which sounded almost out of character.
"I wonder if I can find Luna and Terran."Yori said,
"yeah sure kid" Squidward told the boy
Patrick pulled Squidward to the side."are you sure about that?"
Squidward simply shrugged and said." I don't know, and quit frankly I don't care, but we need that Keyblade if we want to find the king and they're kind of a package deal."
Shrek then goes over to Yori and said"Yori, go with them it's the best chance you have of finding your friends. I have also have been missing my friends, so I get where your coming from."
"Yeah, I guess your right." Yori said still moping.
"Hold it right there!"Squidward exclaimed."there is no way you going anywhere like that, no frowns on our vessel." He continued."I know this sounds silly but this vessel runs on only happy emotions and smiles."
Squidward then looked back to him and said." I know I've tried."
"You have to have a funny face." Said Patrick.
"Oh," Yori then smiled a cheesy and kind of creepy grin.
Patrick laughed and said."that's one funny face!"
Squidward shrugged and said." Yeah I suppose it's funny, sort of creepy, but I guess that will have to do."
"Sure,I'll go with you guys." Yori said, a little more cheerful.
"Then allow us to properly introduce ourselves." Squidward put his hand out." I'm Squidward Tentecals."
"I'm Patrick Star." He put his hand over Squidward's.
"And I'm Yori." He put him hand in.
"Squidward, can we?" Patrick asked.
"Oh no no no," Squidward said. " I'm not saying it."
"Oh come on." Patrick begged." please?"
"FORGET IT!" Squidward argued.
"just this once." Patrick said.
"alright." Squidward sighs. "fine.
"ALL for one and one for All" the trio said in unison (with of course an unenthusiastic Squidward.)
Unknown world-
Meanwhile, unknown by the trio.
A group of mysterious people, they were considered the most dastardly trouble makers of there respective worlds.
"That little snot nosed brat," said a man with an ear on his neck."how did he take out that heartless. I bet that boy has FAIRIES!" He said with a twitch.
"Not quit, it's that Keyblade that's the source of his power." A ghostly man with black hair sticking up like horns." It holds the power to seal the Keyholes. He can't be taken lightly."
Then a golden colored woman with black stripes and large wings. Said," maybe, we can turn him into a heartless," she cackled." That should quicken things up a bit."
Then there was a man with a lightbulb for a head who said." And his friends are that annoying sponge kings lackeys," he snarled then said."there not much to look at if you ask me."
Then a psychotic looking clown who had green hair and wore a purple coat. The clown chuckled and said."Oh Glowy, you obviously haven't looked in the mirror lately."
"Aw shut up you looney!"
"Enough!" Said an imposing deep voice, "he started it." The bulb head interjected, which earned him a death glare from the leader which made him sink down in his chair. "Shutting up."
Then he continued."The Keyblade has chosen him, will it be he who defeats the darkness or will darkness swallow him. Either way..."
The imposing figure stepped into the light. He was a samurai with blades on his helmet and also wire a mask completely hiding his identity except for his piercing red eyes." He could be quit useful."
Back ate Traverse Town-
"Here are some munny." Said Peach pouring a hand full of munny in Yori's hand."try not to spend it all in one day."
B.O.B then runs up to Yori and hugs him "Yori, I'm going to miss you so much. but, accidentally put the boy inside of him without realizing it.
"B.O.B! Your suffocating him!" Shrek exclaimed.
"Oops."
Then B.O.B spat the boy out as he was once again covered in blue slime which he wiped off.
Shrek then said."guys might want to pick up something's before you go, so you may want to head down to Spacely's Sprockets to stock up."
Yori turned to Squidward and Patrick and said." So you guys want to go pick up some supplies on the way out?"
The two nodded. The trio made there way down to Spacely's Sprockets to buy some supplies, much to Mister Spacely's delight.
Then, they went into their gummie ship. And they were off as they found themselves in the world's in between.
"So what's our first stop?" Yori asked.
"A world called Amity Park."answered Squidward, while pulling in the gummie ship to get ready to land.
(Sorry about not updating in a long time, I have had something's come up. Again I apologize.)
