Chapter 16: Eddy-World I, Revisit I

It was a somewhat peaceful day here in Kingston Village as we see Eddy, Rei Evan, Layla, Bugs, Daffy, Lola and Violet get off the Loony ship and walk out onto the cobbled stone ground of the big, yet little village.

"Oh? You're back already?" asked a voice nearby as everyone turned to see Rexin and Xedy behind them. Violet widened her eyes at they appearance, "What brings ya back?" asked Xedy

"Oh, we just needed some more supplies," Bugs said, "Plus there's the fact that Eddy found a Summon Gem in the last world."

Evan nodded his head, "Yes, we've figured someone here could summon the person out."

"Oh, really?" Rexin stated, "Well, the only summoner around in this world is Eiko."

"Thanks, we'll go find her now," Lola thanked as they soon parted with Rexin and Xedy.

They soon started to go to HQ on the other side of the village. While they were walking, Eddy suddenly felt like they were being watched by something or someone. Rei and Violet noticed this, "Something wrong, Eddy?" Rei asked.

"Violet?" questioned two voices from behind them, "Is that you?"

"Terri? Naomi?" Violet questioned with a gasp as they turned around to see two girls running up from behind them.

The first girl of the three girls was the same age as Violet, if not a little older. She had short, boyish red hair that seemed to be slightly spiked in the back and blue eyes. She wore something a bit boyish for a girl; she wore an orange t-shirt with a dark, gold-colored vertical line on the right side of the shirt, a pair of baggy blue jeans and dark orange and white tennis shoes.

The other girl was also the same age as Violet and the red haired girl. She had long, flowy blond hair and blue eyes. She wore a white, thick strapped dress that went to her knees; the dress had a black t-shirt under it. She also wore a pair of bright blue-tinted shoes with white socks.

"What are you two doing here?" Violet asked the two girls.

"We're currently trying to find our parents," the blond said.

The red head of the two soon looked at Eddy and Rei, "Looks like you've foundyour parents, shorty."

Violet made an irritated sigh, "Knock it off Terri, this is no time for your usual round of insults on my height."

This little scene triggered a memory to Eddy; something about the red girl's attitude seemed vaguely familiar…

The redhead named Terri laughed a little, "Sorry; that sort of slipped out. I'm trying to be careful now."

The blond just rolled her eyes, "Oh, sure you are, big sister."

"Hey! I really am trying to slack on being too sarcastic," Terri replied to the blond, "You know that better than anyone, Naomi."

Violet soon turned back to the others, "These two are the twin Senshi; Terri and Naomi. They're both the Princesses of Uranus and Neptune."

"… Hey, wait; hold up!" Eddy yelped with surprise, realizing who the redhead reminded him of, "You're saying that Kevin-"

"What about our dad?" questioned the twins, who both heard Eddy's comment. That caught Eddy, Rei and Evan off guard.

"Oh, I think he realized who your dad was," Violet replied with a laugh, "Now, you two said that you're looking for your mom and dad?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Well, why don't you follow us until we find them?" Violet asked. She turned to Eddy and Rei, "You don't mind at all, right?"

"No, we don't mind at all," Rei said, "I'm also pretty sure that the people at the headquarters wouldn't mind finding their parents."

Everyone soon walked all the way to headquarters, where they entered the slightly big house. They all saw Rikku, Quistis, Locke, Zidane and Eiko sitting around talking to each other. They also saw…

"Kevin, Nazz!" exclaimed Eddy and Rei.

That's when everyone that was talking turned to the people that entered the house. This also included Kevin and Nazz.

"Oh great," Kevin muttered, "What are you doing…?" that's when he noticed Evan beside Eddy. He, and even Nazz, froze up a little, "Eddy's brother?"

"Nice to see you two again," Evan stated, "You've both grown."

They soon heard two sets of gasps as everyone turned to Terri and Naomi. The two twins soon rushed up to Kevin and Nazz, "Mom, Dad!"

"Huh?" both Kevin and Nazz questioned loudly with surprise; they looked at the twins with confusion.

"… Oh, that's right," Naomi muttered as she turned to Terri, "They don't know us yet, Terri."

"Well duh, Naomi. I wouldn't think that they would," Terri replied.

The twin turn back to Kevin and Nazz; both had grins of a Cheshire cat, "I'm Terri…"

"I'm Naomi…"

"And we're your daughters."

"… What?" both Kevin and Nazz exclaimed at the same time, their faces turning beet red at the news.

Eddy couldn't resist laughing to himself in his mind at Kevin's reaction; his face was priceless! If only he ha a camera…

"…Okay, are we over with this?" questioned Daffy as everyone turned to him, "We have to find Eiko for getting the name of the summon gem."

"… Oh, that's right!" Layla stated, "We've forgot about that."

~~~

"What do ya want with me again?" Eiko asked again as she, Eddy, Rei, Violet, Evan, Layla, Bugs, Daffy and Lola were all outside the house, out in the middle of the non-busy cobbled street.

"We need you to summon the name of the person inside this gem," Evan explained as Eddy handed her the red and white gem.

"Hmm…" Eiko muttered as she held it for a couple of seconds before she handed it back to Eddy, "The person's name is Inuyasha. All you have to do to summon him out is get out your Keyblade, hold the gem in the air and say his name…That's basically it."

"Okay, fine," Eddy muttered slightly as he summons out his Novablade. He then held the gem in the air like Eiko said to, "Inuyasha!"

Suddenly, a flash of light bursts out from the stone as a ray of light lands on the ground beside Eddy. Then the light started to get bigger and started to form into a shape. And when the light show was over, there stood a person with his eyes closed. It was a white haired man, dressed in a pair of red hamaka (pants), a red hitoe (jacket) with a white kosode (undershirt) underneath the red hitoe. He had a red obi (belt) around his waist, where they saw a rusted sword in the saya (sword sheath) of the obi. He also had a bead-like necklace around his neck. He was also bear-footed. And the most surprising thing about the guy was that he had a pair of pointed, white dog ears!

He then started to sniff the air. His eyes snapped open, revealing dark, golden yellow eyes, "Where the hell am I?" he questioned with slight anger and confusion. That's when he noticed the people around him, "And who the…"

He stopped suddenly when he saw someone in the crowd that immediately got his attention, "Kagome!" he stated as the guy suddenly rushed up to Rei very fast, "Where are we? And where're the others?"

"Uh…"Rei muttered, not really knowing what to say. The name that he called her sounded familiar to her…

"Hey!" Eddy shouted to the guy, "Who do ya think you are?"

The guy turns and looks down at Eddy, "Buzz off, I'm talking to Kagome."

"Oh!" Rei gasped, she remembered something, "You talking about Kagome Higurashi, from the Higurashi Shrine?"

That's when the guy turned back to Rei and noticed her scent around her, "… Hey, you're not Kagome!"

"No; she's my cousin back in Tokyo," Rei replied.

"Cousin?" questioned the man and Eddy, "She's never mentioned a cousin to me before… except the one that disappeared three years ago, or something like that."

"Yes, that's me," Rei said, "And I can sense that you're a half-demon."

The guy made a little huff in his voice, "You can sense auras like Kagome?"

"I can."

"Ahem!" coughed Eddy in the background, "Can we just tell him what he's here for?"

"That's right," Evan agreed. They then explain to the man what he was here for, and such things like that.

"So, are you gonna help us?" questioned Rei.

"I guess I can," he then reached out his hand to Eddy, "The name'sInuyasha."

"Eddy," Eddy replied as he shook his hand, he was still a little sour with him, but he knew he would get over it. It was a case of mistaken identity, after all. Soon Inuyasha went back into his gem with a flash of red and white light.

"Well, that's over with," Bugs said as everyone turned to him, "Let's get back to the Looney Ship and get to another world."

Everyone nodded their heads as they waved goodbye to Eiko and walked all the way back to the space dock. After re-supplying themselves with supplies, they got back on the Looney Ship and took off to another world…

Chapter 17: Double D-World III-City Pont-Part I

"I can't find it!" a huge, plastic green dinosaur shrieked as he pressed rapidly on the remote control that sat in front of the television, "It doesn't seem to be on any of these stations."

"Keep looking," a tough-looking, astronaut-looking toy said sternly, his eyes never left the television screen.

"You're going too slow," a huge, bulky piggy bank shoved the dinosaur aside and put his hoof on the remote, "Let me take the wheel."

He pressed on the button rapidly and the screen flashed just as fast. Different images appeared and disappeared.

"It's too fast," the dinosaur named Rex complained, "How can you even tell what's on?"

"I can tell," Hamm, the bank pig, said airily.

So the gathered crowd around the space ranger, the dinosaur and the pig watched intently as multiple images flashed. They kept a sharp eye out - or tried to - for an advertisement which involved a portly man in a chicken suit.

"Stop! Back, back, back!" all the toys shouted as they caught the image of a man in a white chicken suit.

"Too late, I'm in the forties," Hamm replied as he continued to press the button like mad, "Gotta go around the horn, it's faster."

Everyone glared at Hamm but he continued to press the button. Presently the image of the chicken-man came around again and everyone yelled, "Back, back! Stop!"

They stopped on a commercial of a man dressed as a chicken in front of a barn-like building who was saying, "-And look for the giant chicken!"

"Now Etch!" Buzz Lightyear turned to the Etch-N-Sketch next to him. It quickly sketched out the map of a place called Al's Toy Barn, "That's where I need to go."

"You can't go Buzz," Rex begged to differ, "You'll never make it there."

"Woody once risked his life to save me," Buzz countered staunchly, "I couldn't call myself his friend if I weren't willing to do the same. So, who's with me?"

(And a Few Minutes Later…)

"I'm packing you an extra pair of shoes and your angry eyes, just in case," Mrs. Potato Head told Mr. Potato Head as she stuffed the items into his back and closed the hatch.

Bo Peep, the beautiful shepherdess, gave Buzz a long kiss on the cheek, "This is for Woody when you find him."

Buzz turned all embarrassed and replied, "All right, but I don't think it'll mean the same coming from me."

Then they looked down from the table as Wheezy, the squeaky penguin whose squeaker was broken, was gently escorted to the bottom of the table, "Mr. Buzz Lightyear, you just gotta save my pal Woody."

"I'll do my best son," Buzz answered confidently as the others joining the mission trooped out of the window and onto a 'branch' of the roof. Slinky, the dog whose body was made up of a spring, went first, to be ready to make himself useful on the way down.

"Okay fellas," Mr. Potato Head called as he grabbed the bottom end of Slinky, "Let's roll. Geronimo!"

With that, he jumped off, reaching the ground safely and releasing the bottom end for the next person. Hamm followed safely and it was Rex's turn."

"You'd think, with all my video game experience, I'd be feeling more prepared," Rex said nervously as he grabbed the end and jumped off.

"The idea is to let go," Slinky said calmly while Rex screamed his head off and refused to let go at the same time.

"We'll be back before Andy gets home," Buzz said as he pushed the button on him and the helmet popped up over his head.

"Don't talk to any toy you don't know!" Mrs. Potato Head called out as Buzz grabbed the leg of the bottom of Slinky.

"To Al's Toy Barn and beyond!" Buzz yelled as he jumped off. Slinky grinned as hi bottom went flying back up and he grabbed it, dropping out of site.

"Oh I hope they make it in time," Bo Peep murmured worriedly to herself while the others retreated inside the room, "I've got a bad feeling about this… Oh Woody, why'd it have to be you? You're the one we have to keep safe like Dox and Naux said, or else… we'll lose everything…"

~~~

"…Museum?" Woody shrieked, whirling on Prospector while Jessie and Bullseye picked themselves up after Woody threw all three of them off the record player they were running around on, "What museum?"

"The museum," Prospector repeated calmly, "We're being sold to the Konishi Toy Museum in Tokyo."

"That's in Japan!" Jessie added excitedly.

"Japan?" Woody's jaw dropped, "No, no, no, no, no. I can't go to Japan."

"What do you mean?" Jessie asked, a frown replacing the smile on her face.

"I go to get back to my owner, Andy," Woody explained while picking up his boot and showing them the bottom of it, "Hey, look, look, see?"

There it was, the name 'Andy' scribbled on the bottom of his boot in permanent ink.

"He still has an owner!" Jessie gasped.

"Oh my goodness," Prospector shuddered in his container.

"No, Jessie backed away from Woody and the edge of the table at the same time, "Can't go. I can't go back into storage again; I just can't!"

"Jessie, Jessie," Prospector said soothingly, in a fatherly manner.

"I won't go back into the dark!" Jessie yelled stubbornly.

"What's the matter?" Woody asked, befuddled by her attitude, "What's wrong with her?"

"Well, we've been in storage for a long time, waiting for you," Prospector explained calmly.

"Why me?" Woody asked, shocked by this.

"The museum's only interested in the collection if you're in it, Woody," Prospector explained with patience, "Without you, we go back into storage. It's that simple."

"It's not fair!" Jessie yelled, "How can you do this to us?"

"Hey, look, I'm sorry, but this is all a big mistake," Woody replied, backing away with his hand out in front of, as if to ward off her anger, "You see, I was in this yard sale-"

"Yard sale?" Prospector was intrigued, "Why were you in a yard sale if you have an owner?"

"Well, I wasn't suppose to be there," Woody explained, "I was trying to save another toy when-"

"Was it because you were damaged? Hmm?" Prospector interrupted, not paying attention to how Woody was trying to save Wheezy from the yard sale, "Did this Andy break you?"

"Yeah, but - no, no, no, no, no!" Woody yelped, realizing what direction this conversation was taking, "It was - it was an accident. I mean-"

"Sounds like he really loves you," Jessie pouted.

"It's not like that, okay?" Woody shouted back at her, getting angry, "And I'm no going to any museum!"

"Well, I'm not going back into storage!" Jessie yelled back, storming up to him and glaring at him in the face.

Then they heard the door opening. Al was coming.

"Al's coming!" Prospector exclaimed, and then turned to Jessie, who was looking at the storage box filled with Styrofoam pieces in fear, "Go! Go on, Jessie. Jessie, look at me."

"Oh, oh, oh," Jessie backed away from the edge of the table.

"I promise you'll come out of the box," Prospector assured gently, "Now go! Go!"

Jessie took one last look around her, jumped, curled herself up into a ball, and dove into the box. Bullseye and Prospector followed and Woody ran back to his display case and shut the glass door just as Al barged in with the look of a man who was given a million dollars right off the bat.

Woody then spotted glowing yellow eyes in the shadows. He blinked and looked again. They were gone.

(Meanwhile, in Double D's Gummi Ship…)

"Oh my! That's the biggest barn that I've ever seen!" Ami yelped, pointing at the huge building that sat by itself to one end of a huge parking lot.

"Hey; look at those traffic cones," Usagi, her eyes never ceasing to miss anything. She pointed madly down at the highway crammed with cars.

"What?" Mamoru and Count Duckula leaned over to see what Usagi was pointing at.

She had spotted a group of six cones inching across the highway. Every few seconds the cones would freeze and the cars would screech and come to a halt. Some of the cars would ram into each other and chaos seemed to ensure.

"This is interesting," Double D mused as the driver of the Gummi Ship (AN: Who's Goofy, by the by) brought the gummi ship down closer. The ship shook violently as they rammed into the atmosphere and Donald came screaming out madly.

"It's seems to be atmosphere Donald," Double D called back calmly, "Relax."

The cones, by then, had inched over to the parking lot and tipped over. Goofy spotted five suspicious-looking objects running to a metal cart.

"That's sorta strange…" Goofy stated and brought the gummi ship even closer.

"Watch where you're taking the ship, please!" Mickey yelped as the ship swerved. They were obviously hitting air turbulence. Everyone was slightly panicking as they all yelled while the ship dipped and swerved, bringing them head-on towards the huge barn building.

"Goofy!" Everyone yelled as they all grabbed at the chairs in the room to keep their balance while Goofy fought the controls and the wind.

"Oh dear, the ship!" Double D yelled and they all looked up.

A huge, glass wall loomed before them. It was beyond huge; it was titanic.

"Incoming!" both Usagi, Goofy and Count Duckula screamed as they ducked their heads.

~~~

"But the sign says it's closed," Rex complained as they stood before the double glass doors, with a sign that clearly said 'Closed'.

They paid no heed to him, hopping on the black mat before the doors furiously. If the employee could walk right into Al's Toy Barn while the sign says 'Closed', then surely they could.

"No, no, no, no," Buzz stopped them, "All together now. Now!"

They all hopped on the black mat as the glass doors slid open. They rushed inside, not noticing a suspicious-looking object fly over their heads.

"Whoa, Nelly!" Slinky yelped as they stared at the stacks of toys all around them, "How are we going to find Woody in this place?"

"Look for Al," Buzz instructed as they past the cash registers, "We find Al, we find Woody. Now move out!"

Everyone split, except for Rex, who was busy flipping through a strategy guide.

"Woody!" Hamm yelled.

"Woody!" Mr. Potato followed the bank pig down one aisle. Buzz went down another aisle and Slinky followed Hamm and Mr. Potato Head. Rex, his head stuck in the strategy guide, managed not to run into anything while following wherever his huge plastic feet took him.

Buzz found himself in a huge aisle of Buzz Lightyear toys, the ones with special utility belts. Buzz walked up to one and poke at the plastic, "Wow, I can use one of those."

"You know," Rex said as he managed to follow Mr. Potato Head down an aisle, "They make it so you can't defeat Zurg unless you buy this book. It's extortion. That's what it is. Hey, I always thought the golden sector was the only-"

A toy car screeched and whirled past them, coming to a sudden stop. Hamm sat in the driver seat.

"I thought we could search in style," Hamm said as Mr. Potato Head and Rex joined them.

"Nice going there Hamm," Mr. Potato Head complimented as he pushed the bank pig aside, "So how about letting a toy with fingers drive?"

He took over and did his best to keep them from crashing into the aisle. Then there was a rumbling sound and toys started falling all around them.

"Yaahhh!" they all screamed and Mr. Potato Head drove the car away.

They failed to see what caused the toys to fall however; they had rushed away into the aisle of Barbies.

"This is a great way to land on this sort of world," Donald growled as everyone from the Gummi Ship picked their way out of the avalanche of toys.

"Where are we now?" questioned Duckula.

"The sign on the barn said 'Al's Toy Barn'," Double D commented, "These are all toys."

"Great, we're stuck here in a toy store," Mamoru stated with an annoyed sigh, "Usagi will be in paradise if she finds the video game section."

"Video games? Where?" Usagi chirped as she looked around to find them. Mamoru, Ami and Double D made a sigh to themselves.

"… You're breaking ranks, ranger," a voice ordered, "Buzz Lightyear to Star Command. I've gotta AWOL space ranger."

"Tell me that I wasn't this deluded," another voice, nearly identical, moaned.

"This way," Mickey motioned to the others and ran across the smooth tile flooring. They ran around the aisle wall and saw two odd-looking plastic figures yelling at each other.

"Those are toys," Donald whispered to Goofy and Mickey, "They're not suppose to talk."

"And we're suppose to be bigger than them," Goofy replied back, "This is one strange world."

"I don't have time for this," one of the toys was saying and started to walk away.

"Halt! I order you to halt!" the other hollered at him. The first toy didn't stop as the other jumped off the ledge they were standing on and charged him.

"… And toys defiantly aren't supposed to fight," Donald concluded.

"Oww! Listen to me, listen to me," the first toy yelled as he was being tied to cardboard, "You're not a space ranger. You're a toy. We're all toys. Do you hear me?"

"Well, that should hold you until the court marshal," the other toy simply answered as he shoved the first toy, now strapped onto the cardboard piece, into a cardboard container shaped similar to a gummi ship and propped it up against the other ships.

"Let me go!" the first toy railed at him, "You don't know what you're doing!"

"We should help him," Ami said as Double D nodded his head in agreement and they then strode forward, just as a toy car swerved into the aisle from the other side. Mickey and Donald quickly pulled them back while a voice said with kind authority, "And this is the Buzz Lightyear aisle. Back in 1995, shortsighted retailers did not order enough dolls to make demands."

"Hey Buzz!" another voice yelled as the toy car came to a screeching halt.

"Buzz, eh?" Usagi muttered at this.

"Quit clowning around and get in the car!" yet another voice snapped.

"Buzz, Buzz, I know how to defeat Zurg!" a happy-go-lucky voice yelled excitingly.

"You do?" the other toy sounded incredulous.

"Come on, I'll tell you on the way," the voice replied happily and the toy car seemed to screech away.

"No, no guys!" the first toy yelled, his voice muffled by the plastic, "You've got the wrong Buzz! You've got the wrong Buzz!"

Double D and Usagi didn't wait any longer; they rushed out to the aisle and froze, stunned by the number of plastic and cardboard containers filled with the same plastic figurines as the two they saw fighting each other. Double D searched out one that was wobbling and ran to it.

"What the!" the trapped toy exclaimed while Double D and Usagi grabbed at the container's cardboard wing and pulled it out onto the floor.

"Hey guys; come and help us here," the girl before his eyes yelled.

"Why are kids shrinking?" the toy known as Buzz murmured as everyone emerged to help Double D and Usagi pull out the trap toy.

"Are you alright?" Ami asked as Double D and Usagi slid out the cardboard piece Buzz was tied to.

"Yes, yes I'm fine, thank you," Buzz answered as calmly as possible, his mind racing with worry for Woody, "Do you know where I can find Al?"

"Who?" everyone asked.

"Never mind," Buzz brushed that aside, the look on their faces explaining everything, "The name's Buzz, Buzz Lightyear."

"I'm Double D," Double D introduced as he then pointed to everyone else, "And this is Ami, Usagi, Mamoru, Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Duckula."

"Hello, Buzz!" Goofy stepped forward and shook Buzz's right hand vigorously, "How d'you do?"

"Uh…fine, I suppose," Buzz pondered as Donald and Mickey sighed at Goofy's behavior.

But then Buzz thought of something important, "No, wait, actually I need help. See, my friend Woody -he's a sheriff - he's been kidnapped by a man named Al and we're trying to find him. Me and my friends, that is. So far we've reached Al's Toy Barn but we can't find him. Then that lunatic of a Space Ranger ties me in and goes off with my friends! You know how frustrating that is?"

"We've seen the whole thing," Mickey replied as everyone but Buzz joined in a huddle, "That's it? That's all there is to it?" asked Donald.

"Maybe this is the trouble," Double D offered, "Maybe we have to rescue Buzz's friend to find the Keyhole."

"That maybe so…"Mamoru muttered.

"Umm, hey," stated Buzz as everyone turned back to him, "Where are you guys from?"

"… In a place far away from here," Ami stated, "… Now, all we need to do is find Woody?"

"The only thing that gets to me is…well," Goofy looked around them nervously, "Umm… well, this is probably a good thing but I don't see any Heartless or Nobodies anywhere."

Heavy silence fell upon this slightly mismatched group.

"Good point Goofy," Mickey agreed with a nod, "Where are they?"

"Who are they?" Buzz asked.

"The Heartless and the Nobodies are real nasty enemies of ours," Usagi answered, "We're out to find them, fight them, and do whatever we can to stop them."

"That's basically what we do," Duckula finished off, "Now, where do we begin?"

"We find Al," Buzz replied striding boldly past them and to the right, "We find Al, we find Woody. Simple as that. And I'm going to show that Buzz Lightyear a thing or two."

"Uh… right," Double D muttered as everyone looked at each other and ran after him.

They searched through every aisle they passed but there was nothing, nothing other than them.

"Yes! Yes!" a voice boomed not far from where they were, "You got a deal! I'll be on the next flight to Japan!"

"That's Al!" Buzz shouted and ran for the voice.

"I've just got one question," Usagi mentioned as they ran after the Space Ranger, "Why are we small and everything else is big?"

"This way!" Buzz yelled as he turned into an aisle far ahead of them, "Huh? What the - yaaahhhh!"

"Buzz!" everyone ran to the aisle he ran down-and were confronted by a butt-load of Heartless.

"Buzz!" Double D said as he picked his way through a jungle of rubber balls, the Starblade materializing in his hand in a silver light, "Those are Heartless. You have to be careful next time."

"This is getting way outta hand!" Buzz stammered, "We have to find Al!"

(About Ten Minutes Later…)

"Aah!" Rex screamed as he tumbled out of the black bag, "He didn't take the bag!"

"No time to lose!" Ultimate Buzz said as they all climbed out of the black bag after Rex "He's ascending the vertical transporter."

They watch Al go up the elevator.

"All right everyone," Ultimate Buzz looked up at the open sunroof, "Hang on. We're gonna blast through the roof."

He grabbed at each toy and looked up, opening his plastic wings.

"Uh, Buzz?" Rex asked hesitantly.

"To infinity," Ultimate Buzz said, "and beyond!"

"What are you insane?" Mr. Potato Head yelled at him and yanked away, "We're wasting time. Stand still Godzilla."

He climbed up Rex and attempted to undo the lock on the car door.

"I don't understand. Somehow, my fuel cells have gone dry," Ultimate Buzz mused and backed into the door handle as Mr. Potato Head undid the lock on the car door.

They were all leaning up against the car door when it swung open and they tumbled to the asphalt and concrete ground. They looked up just in time to see that the elevator had reached level twenty-three.

"Blast," Ultimate Buzz swore. "He's on level twenty three."

"How are we gonna get up there?" Slinky asked, looking up at the red building that loomed before them.

"Maybe if we find some balloons, we could fly to the top," Rex suggested eagerly.

"Are you kidding?" Mr. Potato Head looked at Rex skeptically. "I say we stake ourselves up, push the intercom, and pretend we're delivering a pizza."

"How about a ham sandwich?" Hamm proposed. "With fries and a hot dog?"

He looked pointedly at Slinky and Mr. Potato Head.

"What about me?" Rex whined.

"You could be the toy that comes with the meal," Hamm struggled to find a place to put Rex.

Ultimate Buzz, who was scouring the area in front of the apartment complex, spotted an air duct and yanked off the grate. "Troops! Over here! Just like you said, lizard man, 'in the shadows to the left'. Okay, let's move!"

They climbed in one after another and followed Ultimate Buzz deep into the apartment complex.

"Mission log," Ultimate Buzz hissed into his left arm. "Have infiltrated enemy territory without detection and are making our way through the bowels of Zurg's fortress."

"You know," Hamm hissed to the others, "I think that Buzz aisle went to his head."

They then ran into a major problem. The air duct branched off three different ways.

"Oh no," Slinky moaned. "Which way do we go?"

"This way!" Ultimate Buzz announced and marched off to the left.

"What makes you so sure?" Mr. Potato Head demanded suspiciously, skeptical of the Space Ranger's arrogant assurance.

"I'm Buzz Lightyear, I'm always sure!" Ultimate Buzz argued his case, then froze as the air duct rumbled and shook.

"We've been detected. The walls! They're closing in! Quick! Help me prop up vegetable man or we're done for."

He grabbed Mr. Potato Head and shoved him up at the corner of the wall and the ceiling of the air duct.

"Hey!" Mr. Potato Head yelled, outraged. "Put me down, you moron!"

"Ah! We're being followed!" Rex shrieked as he looked at what was behind them.

"Where? Where?" Ultimate Buzz went down on one knee and pointed out his laser.

"I saw shadows! Moving shadows!" Rex wailed. "And with glowing yellow eyes!"

"I don't see anything," Slinky spoke, looking behind them.

"But I-I saw something!" Rex said in defense.

"Hey, wait a minute," Hamm said. "That shaking, it's the elevator!"

"Come on," Ultimate Buzz said, dropping Mr. Potato Head. "We've got no time to lose."

He ran down the air duct until they came to emptiness. A huge open space and an elevator down there somewhere.

"Everyone, grab hold," Ultimate Buzz ordered and handed them a long string attached to his back.

"What?" Hamm demanded in confusion.

"Huh?" Slinky stared at the string, then looked up to see that Ultimate Buzz had put sticking pads on his hands and started climbing up the side of the huge tunnel.

"Uh, Buzz," Hamm said rather nervously, "why not just take the elevator?"

"They'll be expecting that," Ultimate Buzz replied and continued to climb up.

"Hey, Buzz!" Rex yelled, looking nervously behind him. "Stop! Slow down!"

Everyone was strung out on the string hanging from Ultimate Buzz's back as he continued to climb up.

From far down below, a Red Nocturne took note and then vanished into another air duct just as Buzz, Double D, Ami, Usagi, Mamoru, Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Duckula struggled up the side of the elevator onto the top. And far behind them was a Zurg. They had the bad luck of being sighted by this toy and were not aware of the fact that they were being followed.

"How 'bout giving me a little intro there, Jessie?" Woody suggested as he shut himself up in a cardboard box standing on its side.

"Introducing," Jessie, the red-haired cowgirl, trumpeted, "the high-riding-est cowboy around-"

"You forgot rootin'-tootin'-est!" Woody hissed, poking his head out from between the folds of the cardboard top.

"The high-ridin'-est, rootin'-tootin'-est cowboy here of all time, Sheriff Woody!"

Woody strode out with an arrogant look on his face towards Jessie and Bullseye, the horse. "Say, little missy, you notice any trouble around these parts?"

He stood on his legs in a suave manner.

"Nary a bit, not with Sheriff Woody around," Jessie answered.

"Wait!" Woody froze, the silliness gone and replaced by excited eagerness. "Wait-wait-wait-wait! I got it! I got it! This is great! Okay! The bandits got the critters tied up in the burning barn and now for the best part!"

He dove into the cardboard box, saying, "Help us! The barn's on fire! I've got ya, critters. No need to worry. Woody saves the day again!"

He charged out triumphantly, throwing Styrofoam pieces up in the air.

"Yee-hah!" Jessie whooped.

"Now where's my trusty steed Bullseye? I have to ride off into the sunset-oh!"

Bullseye rushed up for Woody to clamber onto his back. "Ride like the wind, Bullseye!"

Bullseye reared maybe a bit too high. Woody yelled, "W-w-watch it!"

He and the saddle toppled off and Bullseye froze, before crossing his forearms before his 'private' and walked away.

Jessie went to pull the saddle off Woody. The saddle tickled him and he yelped, "Wait, I'm ticklish, okay?"

He realized that was the wrong thing to say. Jessie gave him an evil eye. "Oh, you are?"

"No, no, no," Woody didn't get a chance to back away as Jessie and Bullseye jumped him. "Cut it out. Stop it. Stop it. No please. No, no. Stop! Stop!"

Meanwhile Ultimate Buzz, Rex, Hamm, Slinky, and Mr. Potato Head were still wandering the air ducts on level twenty three. Ultimate Buzz whispered into his left forearm, "Mission log. Have reached Zurg's command deck, but no sign of him or his wooden captive."

Then they heard Woody's voice echo down the air duct. "Please, no!"

Slinky perked up at this. "That's Woody!"

"This way!" Ultimate Buzz gestured them down an air duct, running after Woody's voice.

"Please, please no!" they continued to hear him shout.

They reached the end of the air duct where his voice came out strongest and they tried to see Woody through the metal grate. They could not see much over a cardboard box obscuring their view though.

"Buzz, can you see?" Mr. Potato Head asked worriedly. "What's going on?"

"Take that!" they heard a feminine voice shout.

Ultimate Buzz mused for a moment, then took one of Mr. Potato Head's eyes and held it out of the grate to see.

"To the left," Mr. Potato Head was saying. "No, your left. Take it up higher."

"Uh…guys," Rex was saying as he stared at the air duct behind them. "I'm telling you, somethings following us."

"Not now, Rex," Mr. Potato Head brushed the green dinosaur's remarks aside. "Oh, it-it's horrible. They-they're torturing him!"

"What do we do?" Hamm asked them.

"Use your head!" Ultimate Buzz said and they all looked at Rex, who was looking at behind them.

"Hey, wait a minute," Slinky said, following Rex's gaze. "Something is back there!"

There was a hiss of something frigid flying past them and a part of the air duct grate froze over. They all stared at the ice-covered section of the grate and all managed to suppress a scream.

"Right, let's use your head!" Ultimate Buzz exclaimed.

"But I don't wanna use my head!" Rex wailed as they grabbed a hold of him and charged him at the grate.

A small fireball flew past them and melted the frozen part of the grate as they rammed Rex into the grate and flew out into the room.

"What's going on here?" Prospector yelled, whirling around on the jumble of toys.

"Buzz, guys!" Woody exclaimed in surprise from his position on the ground. "Hey, how did you find me?"

"Watch yourself!" Ultimate Buzz ordered the others as they charged at Prospector, Jessie, and Bullseye.

"We're here to spring ya, Woody!" Slinky explained.

"You heard of kung fu?" Hamm shrieked at Prospector as he jumped on the cardboard box and glared him in the eye through the thin plastic. "Well, get ready for pork chop."

"Prepare to meet Mr. Angry Eyes!" Mr. Potato Head threatened Jessie and pulled off his eyes. He searched through the hatch behind him and yanked out his other pair of shoes and stuck them where his eyes were supposed to be. He then charged at Jessie but obviously he couldn't see; he ran into the wall next to Jessie, who was giving him a look one gives to a lunatic.

"Hold it, now!" Woody hollered as he jumped into the mess. "Hey, you don't understand! These are my friends!"

"Yeah, we're his friends!" Rex agreed, misunderstanding Woody.

"No, Rex," Woody corrected. "I mean they're my friends."

"Hey, stop it!" Jessie ordered Slinky, who was having a stare-down with Bullseye. "Leave him alone, springy dog! Hey!"

Slinky quickly wrapped himself around both Jessie and Bullseye, leaving them all tied up.

"Grab Woody and let's go!" Slinky ordered from his impossible position.

Agreeing, the others picked him up and marched him to the grate, though Woody protested, "Fellas, hold it! Buzz, put me down!"

"Quick!" Rex said. "To the vent!"

"They're stealing him!" Jessie yelled.

"No!" Prospector moaned. "They must be stopped, you hear me? Stop them, stop them!"

Suddenly Buzz went flying out of the vent and held his hand up. "Hold it right there!"

"Buzz?" the others demanded incredulously.

"You again?" Ultimate Buzz moaned and bristled at the same time.

"Woody!" Buzz saw Woody. "Thank goodness you're all right."

"Buzz, what is going on?" Woody demanded as he forced himself down onto the solid ground.

"Hold on," Ultimate Buzz stepped forward to Buzz's side. "I am Buzz Lightyear, and I'm in charge of this detachment."

"No, I'm Buzz Lightyear," Buzz countered.

"I'm Buzz Lightyear," Ultimate Buzz stated angrily.

"I'm Buzz Lightyear!" Buzz hollered in his face.

"So, who's the real Buzz?" Woody asked in confusion as the two Space Rangers faced off each other.

"I am!" they both shouted back.

"Don't let this imposter fool you!" Ultimate Buzz pleaded his case. "He's been trained by Zurg himself to mimic my every move."

"Fat chance," a foreign voice said behind them in the vent. "Just show them, Buzz, and let's get out of here; we can't hold on much longer!"

"Who?" they all turned to Buzz, who calmly pressed a button on Ultimate Buzz. His helmet went down.

Ultimate Buzz began to wheeze and gasp, going down on his knees and in the act of choking. Everyone gave him a real skeptical eye.

"Buzz!" they shouted happily, now knowing who the real Buzz Lightyear was.

"I had a feeling it was you, Buzz," Slinky admitted while undoing himself. "My front end just had to catch up with my back end."

"Will somebody please explain what's going on?" Ultimate Buzz demanded, his helmet now back in place.

"It's all right space ranger," Buzz whispered while others began to grow aware of explosions deep in the vent. "It's a code 546."

"You mean it's a-"

"Yes."

"And he's a-"

"Oh, yeah."

"Your Majesty," Ultimate Buzz went down on one knee and kissed Woody on the hand.

"Woody, you're in danger here," Buzz looked at Woody sternly. "We need to leave now."

"Al's selling you to a toy museum in Japan!" Rex added, eyeing the vent nervously in the process.

"I know, it's okay, Buzz," Woody said calmly, holding his hands up. "I actually wanna go."

"What?" Rex demanded.

"Are you crazy?" Hamm shouted.

"Look, the thing is, I'm a rare Sheriff Woody doll, and these guys are my Roundup gang," Woody explained patiently, gesturing to the others.

"Woody, what are you talking about?" Buzz demanded while seven figures emerged from the shadows of the vent.

"What am I talking about?" Woody turned on him. "Woody's Roundup! Oh, its this great old TV show and I was the star-"

"What about a TV?" asked a feminine voice.

"Huh?" everyone turned to the voice behind them.

They found themselves staring at actual human beings (AN: And anamorphic animals, don't forget that!) that were no bigger than them.

"Oh, right, right," Buzz said apologetically. "That's Usagi and her friends. Is the vent clear?"

The girl, Usagi, nodded. "Woody, we've got to get you out of here."

"Wait, wait, wait," Woody said. "Hold on a second. You guys are human being; kids. What are you doing here? And why are you all so small?"

"And why are they seeing us as we are?" Slinky demanded.

"Long story," Buzz explained calmly. "Now Woody, stop this nonsense about you being all famous and all, and let's go. Now."

"Nah, Buzz," Woody protested, to the surprise of his friends. "I can't go. I can't abandon these guys. They need me to get into this museum. Without me, they'll go back into storage-maybe forever!"

"Woody, you're not a collector's item," Buzz said, his patience growing thin. "You are a child's plaything. You are a toy!"

"For how much longer?" Woody demanded. "One more rip, and Andy's done with me. And what do I do then, Buzz? Huh? You tell me."

There was an even heavier silence.

"Somewhere in that pad of stuffing," Buzz said heavily, looking Woody in the eye, "is a toy who taught me that life's only worth living if you're being loved by a kid. And I traveled all this way to rescue that toy because I believed him."

"Well, you wasted your time," Woody said and turned his back on them.

"I don't know what happened to you or how you were brainwashed this way," Double D suddenly said, "but you have to come back with your friends, to this Andy of yours. This world seems to lie in your hands, Woody. And if you choose to bring down your world, destroy everything you've known and loved in the process, like Andy, then be my guest. It seems we've wasted our time here, guys. Clearly if someone as important as Woody believes and behaves this way, this world doesn't deserve to exist."

"What?" everybody else demanded of Double D, especially Ami.

"We're going," Double D said. "We're going to clear the way in the vent for you guys but after that, you guys are all on your own. The Heartless can take care of this world, that's for sure."

They headed back for the vent, presently followed by Buzz, Ultimate Buzz, Slinky, Rex, Hamm, and Mr. Potato Head.

"You're abandoning this world?" Buzz asked, "Why?"

"This Woody… he maybe the Keyhole, since he's a toy and all," Double D replied, "And when someone who is connected to the Keyhole whose faith is like his won't lead to the Keyhole to save your world."

"Oh…" Buzz sighed.

Ami looked at Double D with a bit of disbelief, 'Double D…'

"Why are there no Heartless?" Goofy whispered to Donald.

"Uh…" Donald was clearly puzzled by this. "King Mickey, why are there no Heartless?"

"… Good point," Mickey pulled out his Realmblade, "Stay on guard anyways. You may never know where they'll show up-"

"Buzz!" Woody's voice hollered down the vent.

"Yes?" Buzz and Ultimate Buzz whirled around.

"I'm coming with you! Wait - wait - wait - wait. I'll be back in just a second."

"Way to go, cowboy!" Buzz crowed and everyone cheered. Double D cracked a smile.

"So he did discover his own mistake!" Mr. Potato Head shouted.

"We're saved!" Hamm and Rex chanted. "We're saved! We're saved! We're saved!"

"Kid, what did I tell you?" Buzz said happily. "He'll turn around; he was the one who told me-"

"Buzz," Woody's voice ran through the vent, laced with intense fear. "Help, Buzz! Guys!"

They ran back to the vent except for the foreigners of the world. They saw something suspicious.

"Looks like Heartless," Duckula noted and they ran.

Chapter 18: Double D-World III-City Point-Part II

"It's too late, Woody," Prospector's cold voice sliced through the air. "That silly Buzz Lightweight or those meddling Keyblade Masters can't help you."

"His name is Buzz Lightyear!" Woody shouted back indignantly. "And what's a Keyblade Master?"

"Whatever," Prospector snapped back. "Always hated those upstart space toys. And that fools of kids should never have come here; I thought they'd already seen to that!"

The others didn't know much of what Prospector was talking about but they definitely understood one thing: Woody really was in trouble. Somehow the grate covering the gate was screwed in again and they could tell it was screwed in real tight.

"It's stuck!" Woody wailed in horror as he tried to pry out the grate. "What do we do?"

"Should I use my head?" Rex suggested tentatively.

"No time for that!" a voice shouted from down below in the vent. "Someone's coming!"

"It's Al!" Woody shrieked and ran to the stacks of boxes. Prospector hopped into his box and Jessie and Bullseye ran to their respective boxes. Woody fell limp just as Al charged in, shouting in his phone and shuffling boxes.

"Look at the time," Al looked at his watch as he shut off the phone. "I'm gonna be late! Oh, figures. I can't miss this flight! I gotta pack."

In front of the toy gang's horrified eyes, Al packed up Woody and the others, putting them in a green suitcase, and clicking it shut. "All right. Let's see. Uh, wallet, keys, tickets, uh, passport, beef jerky – very expensive over there."

"Shower!" Al sniffed himself. "Oh, I can skip the shower. I just gotta get outta here now!"

He stood up with the green suitcase and stormed out of the room. Buzz already knew where Al was headed.

"Quick!" Buzz ordered the others. "To the elevator! Hurry, I can hear it coming!"

True to his word, the vent was shaking and they ran down the vent as fast as they could.

"Uh… Buzz?" Usagi's questioning voice drifted over to them. "Tell me you know who this lunatic is?"

As they happened upon the foreigners, they also happened upon…

"So, we meet again, Buzz Lightyear," Zurg blocked their way to the elevator, his machine gun pointing at them. "For the last time."

"Aah!" Rex screamed.

"Oh no, another lunatic," Mr. Potato Head moaned.

"It's Zurg!" Rex and Ultimate Buzz shrieked.

"A toy, I presume?" Donald asked with a sarcastic manner.

"No joke, no joke!" Rex was shouting. "He's got an ion blaster!"

"A what?" Hamm turned on the green dinosaur.

"Duck!" Double D shrieked and everyone dropped on their faces while Zurg fired what seemed to be yellow rubber balls at them. Then Double D jumped up at swung the Starblade at the next rubber ball that came their way. The ball struck back at Zurg, hitting his visor and obscuring his vision. He fell backwards onto the elevator.

"Yep, I was right after all," Mr. Potato Head muttered. "A raving lunatic!"

"Quick! Get on!" Buzz ordered and everyone jumped on. "The emergency hatch! Come on! Come on! Hurry-"

He was opening the hatch on top of the elevator in the process and quickly let go as a blast of fire exploded inches from his fingertips.

"Heartless!" Goofy shouted a warning. "Look out!"

Red Nocturnes, Yellow Operas, Blue Rhapsodies, Green Requiems, Gargoyles, Air Pirates, and Wyverns swooped down on them from above.

Ultimate Buzz and Zurg were the only ones who did not heed Goofy's warning call. Ultimate Buzz was busy being bashed into pieces by Zurg. He was being slammed against the elevator, a button being pushed constantly so his voice box kept saying, "Buzz – Buzz – Buzz Lightyear to the rescue!"

They only separated when Donald shot a Blizzard spell between them to extinguish a Red Nocturne.

"Surrender Buzz Lightyear," Zurg still said, pointing his cannon at Ultimate Buzz. "I have won."

"I'll never give in," Ultimate Buzz said staunchly. "You killed my father!"

While everyone else went around chasing Heartless, Zurg revealed the truth, "No, Buzz. I am your father."

Double D, Ami, Usagi and Mamoru rolled his eyes at that line; a Star Wars cliché.

Ultimate Buzz took seconds to soak in the news. With that, he sank down on his knees and screamed to the heavens above – in this case the ceiling of the elevator chute – "Nooooooo!"

"Come on! Come on! Come on!" Al was muttering angrily, pushing at a button continuously.

Buzz peered in on the man from his position on top of the elevator.

"Buzz," Rex was trying to reach Ultimate Buzz, "you could have defeated Zurg all along! You just needed to believe in yourself!"

"Prepare to die!" Zurg announced, pointing his cannon right on Ultimate Buzz.

"I can't look!" Rex wailed, turning around. His long tail barely missed Duckula and walloped Zurg.

"Wh – wh- whoa!" Zurg shrieked and he fell over the edge and down the elevator chute.

"I did it," Rex realized what he had done. "I finally defeated Zurg!"

"Father," Ultimate Buzz whimpered, his arm outreached over the edge of the elevator in a futile attempt to stop his fall.

Meanwhile, Buzz and the others had a hold on Slinky, who was carefully swinging his way towards the green suitcase Woody was trapped in. He kept missing but swung himself closer and closer until he finally undid the clips on the suitcase.

"Ah, finally!" Al breathed a brief sigh of relief as the elevator froze and the doors opened.

Woody opened the suitcase and grabbed onto Slinky's paws as Al began to drag the suitcase and the boxes underneath it out of the elevator. But Prospector popped up and pulled him back in. He then shut the suitcase as Al walked out.

"No!" they shouted as they tumbled into the elevator. The foreigners, sensing that the scenario was changing, jumped in with them. They all got up and ran out of the elevator, running as fast as they could as Al passed between glass doors and got into his blue car.

Mr. Potato Head soon had his plastic black hat in his hand and threw it like a Frisbee. It clogged itself between the two doors and everyone got through. Mr. Potato Head made sure the door didn't take his arm as he snatched the black hat out.

"How are we going to get him now?" Rex asked hopelessly as they saw the car moving out of the parking lot.

"Pizza, anyone?" Mr. Potato Head and Hamm suggested, giving an eye to a pizza truck.

"Go, go, go!" Buzz ordered the others go to the car.

"I got it!" Ultimate Buzz ran past to catch a yellow rubber ball.

"Buzz, are you coming?" Buzz asked.

"No, I have a lot of catching up to do with my dad," Ultimate Buzz replied and threw the yellow rubber ball past Buzz to Zurg not too far away.

The ball hit Zurg on the head but his reply was, "Good throw, son. That's my boy. Go long, Buzzy!"

"Oh, you're a great dad," Ultimate Buzz exclaimed with the excitement of a toddler. "Yippee!"

"Farewell," Buzz said with a smile, then ran to the car.

"Does anyone know how to drive?" Rex askedtentatively as he eyed the controls.

"Can't be too hard," Usagi commented.

"Slink, take the pedals," Buzz ordered. "Rex, Donald Goofy; you navigate. Hamm and Potato operate the levers and knobs."

"Whoa!" Slinky commented as he dropped down to check the pedals.

As Rex, Donald and Goofy climbed up on the board, they spotted Squeeze Toy Aliens (and we all know how they look) hanging from a string on the mirror.

"Oooooooh."

"Strangers."

"From the outside."

"Oh no," Buzz moaned. Double D and Ami took it that Buzz had a bad experience that involved the mysterious green creatures.

"He's at a red light!" Rex shrieked.

"We can catch him!" Donald added.

"Yeah!" Goofy stated.

"Maximum power, Slink!" Buzz shouted and Slink slammed on the right pedal.

"Waaa! It turned green!" Rex alerted.

Mickey then grabbed the wheel as the car lurched forward.

"Hurry!" Donald squalled.

"Why won't it go?" Buzz was clearly perplexed.

"Use the wand of power," the Squeeze Toy Aliens suggested, pointing at the stick in the middle of the two seats in the truck.

"Oh! Ow! Ooh!" Hamm moaned as he and Mr. Potato Head both jumped at the stick and pulled it from Park to, well, backwards. Then they pulled it more to, well, forward.

"Rex, which way?" Buzz demanded as he carefully – or tried to be careful – maneuvered the wheel and the truck.

"Left!" Rex hollered and Buzz turned the wheel left. "No, no! I mean right! That's right! No I mean left!"

"Left is right," Mamoru offered a helpful hint.

"Buzz, he's turning left! He's turning left!" Rex screamed.

"Oh, oh, boy! Whoa – oa – oa – oa!" the three Squeeze Toy Aliens wailed as the string they were tied to detached itself from the mirror and they sailed out the window. Mr. Potato Head, being there when they flew out, snatched the string and pulled them inside.

"Oh I seriously doubt he's getting this kind of mileage," Hamm commented as he read from the Driver's Manual.

Double D then grabbed onto the wheel as Rex yelled, "Go right! To the right! Right – right – right –right!"

"Whoa!" the Squeeze Toy Aliens yelped as they landed on Mr. Potato Head. "You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful."

Usagi couldn't help but snigger as he watched the green creatures hail Mr. Potato Head.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever," the plastic spud had a look of annoyance on his face.

"The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading," an electronic voice thundered. "No parking."

"The airport, woo hoo!" Goofy cheered as they screeched to a stop in front of gray buildings.

"Guys, we can't park here!" Rex wailed. "It's a white zone!"

"No time for that," Buzz commented as Double D pulled on the stick all the way up.

"You have saved our lives," the Squeeze Toy Aliens huddled around a truly irritated Mr. Potato Head. "We are eternally grateful."

"Final boarding call for Far East Airlines-"the same mysterious voice announced.

"There he is!" Buzz shouted, pointing to a person who definitely looked like Al.

"-Flight 451 to Tokyo, all confirmed," the PA system continued. "Passengers must board at this time. Passenger Twitch, passenger Leon Twitch, please pick up-"

"You have saved our lives!" the Squeeze Toy Aliens continued to shout. "We are eternally grateful!"

"Will you just leave me alone?" Mr. Potato Head shouted at them.

"Oh! Someone's coming!" Rex and Duckula exclaimed at the same time.

They spotted a pet carrier and huddled inside. Double D pulled the gate shut and Buzz, using the holes on the bottom of the cage, moved them across the area and dropped when a girl approached.

"Ooh, a puppy!" the girl leaned forward, intent on seeing who was there.

Everyone looked at Slinky.

"Uh, bark-bark-bark-bark, bark-bark-bark-bark," Slinky said. The girl screamed in fear and ran off.

"Listen, flyboy, the contents of that case are worth more than you make in a year! You got that, sport? You be careful," Al ordered the clerk as he picked up Al's green suitcase.

"I understand sir," the clerk answered, clearly used to this treatment.

Buzz took them close to the conveyor belt the clerk was putting the green suitcase on.

"Do you have a fragile sticker or something?" Al demanded, clearly worried.

"Don't worry sir," the clerk tried to pacify the portly man. He still did not put down the suitcase.

"Because I know what goes on back there," Al said sternly while the clerk put the suitcase on the belt. "I had a box of cookies once that came back as crumbs!"

"Quickly!" Mickey hissed and the dog carrier jumped onto the conveyor belt not far from the green suitcase.

"The Mystical Portal!" one of the Squeeze Toy Aliens announced, pointing to where the conveyor belt was taking the luggage.

"Oooooooh!" the three toys said. Donald gave Mr. Potato Head a queer look.

"Once we go through, we just need to find that case," Buzz ordered the others as they passed through the 'Mystical Portal' and slid down a steep ramp. The dog carrier banged against the side of a conveyor belt and the door swung open, causing everyone to tumble out onto the belt.

"Ow!" Slinky moaned while the others picked themselves up. "There's the case!"

He spotted a green suitcase but Hamm begged to differ. "No, there's the case!"

He pointed to a case on another belt.

"You take that one!" Buzz ordered Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, Rex, Donald, Goofy, Mickey, Usagi, Mamoru, Duckula and the three Squeeze Toy Aliens. "We'll take this one!"

Double D and Ami quickly followed Buzz and Slinky around and over suitcases.

~~~

In the process of running through baggage and luggage, they found a green suitcase, opened it, and fell into it. There was nothing in it but papers and stickers and Buzz, Double D, Ami and Slinky left that suitcase alone, running after the one they originally saw.

Ami and Double D decided not to mention that Buzz had a sticker on his sitter that said 'Butte'.

"Whoa – oa! Buzz!" Slinky yelled anxiously as his back end got caught on a piece of luggage and it split to another belt. "Buzz, Sora, Verity! Guys, my back end's going to Baton Rouge!"

Double D, Ami and Buzz, who were busy jumping baggage, turned and ran to Slinky. Buzz and Double D took a hold on each of his paws and tried to pull him in. But to no avail; his hold on the luggage was too strong for them and they were forced to let him go.

"Slinky!" Double D yelled.

"You guys go on ahead, I'll untangle myself here!" Slinky told them off.

~~~

Meanwhile, Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, Rex, Donald, Goofy, Mickey, Usagi, Mamoru, Duckula and the three Squeeze Toy Aliens rushed after the green suitcase they were to go after. But the three Squeeze Toy Aliens stayed behind, too small and slow to keep up with them.

"Woody, here we come!" Hamm yelled.

"Woody!" Mr. Potato Head shouted as they jumped the suitcase and opened it.

"It's a camera," Mamoru said, crestfallen.

"Nice flash, though," Hamm commented.

"Not only a camera!" Goofy was looking beyond the suitcase. "There's Heartless!"

"Duck!"

Hamm, Mr. Potato Head, and Rex dropped behind the suitcase and Donald cast Aeroga upon everyone.

"Cool!" Rex exclaimed. "I'm surrounded by magic! Ha, I knew magic was real!"

"I'll take on the Heartless over here," Donald ordered Goofy as she then turned his head to Mickey, "Do you mind, your majesty?"

"Of course," Mickey stated.

Goofy took out his shield. "Charge!"

With his shield in front of him, Goofy ran at the Heartless, taking out the creature of darkness.

Donald was confronted by a horde of Shadows and Soldiers, which really was a weak field if there weren't so many. He decided to pull a Gandalf on them and slammed his lance on the ground, shouting, "Firaga!" in the process.

A wave of fire rippled over the ground and even if a Shadow flattened itself in the ground, it could not escape the fire. The surviving Heartless were quickly brought down by a few swipes of Mickey's Realmblade and Usagi's Moonblade as they jumped and sliced around them.

~~~

While that was going on, Buzz was the first to reach their suitcase. Double D and Ami followed closely, both having an intuition that Buzz was in for a nasty surprise.

Buzz flung open the suitcase, shouting, "Okay, Woody, let's go!"

Instead of Woody, Prospector loomed before him and walloped him in the face. Shouting in surprise, Buzz tumbled off the conveyor belt, leaving only Double D and Ami to face Prospector.

"Take that, space toy," Prospector grumbled and was about to put the lid on the green suitcase when Woody came out and threw himself at Prospector.

"Hey! No one does that to my friend!" he shouted while they tumbled onto the belt, throwing kicks and trading punches.

Double D and Ami looked up to the green suitcase. It was radiating darkness.

"Heartless!" Double D shouted a warning. "Jessie, Bullseye, whoever you are, get outta there!"

"They can't, Starblade Master," Prospector said to him. "All tied up and ready to fly safely to Japan. And the Heartless, they're gonna make sure nobody lets them out unless it's Al."

"You're in league with the Heartless, aren't you?" Ami demanded.

Prospector grinned, "Ladies are the first to die!" He threw the sharp part of his pick at Ami; a direct hit in her chest.

Ami gasped in pain as she backed over to the ledge; tears of pain streaming down her face. She soon saw someone with horror written across his face; she smiled at this person, "D-Double D…" she stuttered as she fell off the edge of the ledge and into the darkness below and in her mind.

"No…Ami!" Double D exclaimed in terror as he quickly went after her. He jumped off the ledge after her, catching her in midair while they were both falling.

"No!" Woody shouted, then gasped in horror as Prospector ripped his right arm again with a spare pick he had stashed away.

"Now, it's your choice, Woody," Prospector said darkly. "You can go to Japan together or in pieces. If he fixed ya once, he can fix ya again. Now get in the box!"

"Never!" Woody shouted back at him defiantly.

"Fine!" Prospector lifted his pick, ready to bring it down on the cowboy.

"Say cheese!" a voice yelled and seconds later, flashes went off.

"No! Aah!" Prospector cringed, unable to see while Buzz, Hamm, Mr. Potato Head, Slinky, the three Squeeze Toy Aliens, and the other foreigners grinned from behind cameras and lights. He dropped his pick in the process.

"Woo hoo!" Goofy pumped his fist up in the air and took more pictures of Prospector cringing and Donald pointing his staff at Prospector. He was ready to kill this toy.

Buzz jumped down and kicked away the pick, then grabbed Prospector's hands and held them behind his back.

"Gotcha," Buzz said with a grin.

"Idiots!" Prospector wailed. "Children destroy toys! You'll all be ruined, forgotten! Spending eternity rotting in some landfill!"

"Well, Stinky Pete, I think its time you learned the true meaning of playtime," Woody said with a smirk on his face. "Right over there, guys!"

He pointed at a pink backpack. Prospector cringed, and then caught the foreigners laughing.

"You're going to pay, guardians!" Prospector said ominously. "Depriving the Heartless of this world's Keyhole, you're going to pay dearly. We will see to that. It will be the Heartless who will see you dead!" he then smiled evilly, "And as for that girl and your wretched Starblade Master; I would consider them as good as dead now!"

"Stick him in," Mickey said, unfazed by Prospector's threats.

"No," Prospector then wailed, looking from Buzz and Woody. "No! No!"

They watched as the backpack slid away, Prospector wailing all the while.

"Happy trails, Prospector!" Woody waved giddily.

Soon they heard a sniffling sound as everyone turned to see Usagi with a sad face, "Where is Double D and Ami?"

Everyone lowered their heads at the question; were they… dead?

"No… H-He couldn't have…" Mamoru started to say as he looked around, "H-He must've pushed them off the ledge!"

Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a flash of light appeared behind the group of toys and the remaining foreigners. They turned around to see something beyond any words could express. There, standing there behind them was Double D and Ami, with Double D's arms embraced around the injured Ami in a protected way.

That's when Double D noticed that he and Ami were not falling any longer, "What…?" he stated as he looked at the toys and then looked at his party members, "… Guys?"

"Double D, Ami!" they exclaimed as they came over to Double D and Ami, "You're both alive!"

"Yes, but Ami's hurt when that pick hit her in her chest," Double D stated slight frantically as he laid her unconscious body on the ground. He looked at his friends, "Take care of her for-"

"Buzz! Woody! Double D!" Slinky shouted.

"Help us out of here!" Hamm added, understanding that Jessie and Bullseye were trapped.

"Hurry!" Rex yelled, pointing anxiously at a chute they were all headed towards.

"Get out of there, Jessie! Bullseye!" Woody shouted. Bullseye bucked free of the suitcase and ran to Woody but Jessie was still caught inside.

"Oh, no, Jessie! Come on!" Woody cried out while Jessie tried to pull herself free.

"Oh, Woody!" Jessie yelled as the green suitcase slid down the chute to the waiting hands of a worker. She fell limp and the worker shut her in the suitcase, then threw the suitcase into the waiting luggage truck.

"Jessie!" Woody yelled, then whistled to Bullseye. "Ride like the wind, Bullseye! Hey, howdy, hey! Giddyap!"

Buzz and Double D joined him on Bullseye's back and Buzz shouted encouragingly to Bullseye as he slid down the chute and jumped off to follow the luggage truck, "Come on, Bullseye! Yah!"

"Guys, give me a boost!" Woody asked of them as they caught the luggage truck and got it. "Oh! Ohhhh! Ohhh!"

They watched Woody as he tried to keep his balance. Double D then told Buzz, "Keep covering us," and jumped onto the luggage truck. Buzz and Bullseye drew back a bit as Double D and Woody inched towards the green suitcase. Then the luggage truck screeched to a sudden stop and they got lost in the baggage.

Then each piece of luggage got thrown onto the conveyor belt leading up to the storage of the Japan-bound plane and Double D and Woody, hiding under separate pieces of luggage, boarded the train. The worker inside the storage chucked the luggage to the side and they quickly scrambled out, spreading out in search of a green suitcase which Woody found first.

"Ah!" Woody said, opening the suitcase and finding Jessie sniffing, alone inside. "Excuse me, ma'am, but I believe you're on the wrong flight!"

"Woody!" Jessie shouted and hugged him.

"Come on guys, we got to get out of here!" Double D yelled at them and ran for the door to the storage.

"Let's go," Woody said and they reached the edge. "On the count of three, one, two-"

The door shut on them. They gasped in shock.

"W-What are we going to do?" Jessie whispered in fear as they retreated from the shut door. "Woody?"

"I don't know," Woody replied as he hopped through the luggage.

"No, not that," Jessie said. "I mean, what if Andy doesn't like me? If we make it out of here, will he accept me?"

"He's going to love you, Jessie," Woody told her firmly. "Both you and Bullseye. Besides, he's got a little sister."

"He does? Why didn't you say so?" Jessie was ecstatic. "Oh wow! Come on, let's get out of this plane!"

"Hey, check this out!" Double D exclaimed. He peered through a glass hatch down onto the wheels of the plane. "I think we can make it out of here."

"Come on!" Woody called to Jessie. "This way!"

He ran to where Double D was and pulled at the glass hatch. Wind blew up in their faces.

"This way!" Woody shouted and waved Jessie over. "Come on, Jessie! Double D, get down there and don't let go. That's the important thing."

"I'd hate to let go," Double D commented as he carefully slid down the metal gears to a safe spot above the rolling wheels of the plane.

"You sure about this?" Jessie asked fearfully as she followed Double D down.

"Uh, no!" Woody said cheerfully as he followed. They all stood balancing carefully as the plane turned and began to move down the straightway.

Woody fished out the loop behind his back and pulled it out. He then aimed and threw it down where the wheels are. The plastic circle caught on the nut that held the contraption together and when Woody tested it the hold, it held.

"You sure about this?" Jessie asked worriedly.

"You've got to be insane," Double D added, shaking his head.

"No!" Woody replied. He was fearful, frightened like the others, but he knew this was the only thing to do. "Let's go-"

The plane jolted fiercely and Woody fell over.

"Woody!" Double D shouted and grabbed his right arm, the one that Prospector had ripped.

"Hold on, Woody!" Jessie yelled and bit back a scream as the rip on his arm got worse.

"Your hat!" Double D shouted as Woody's hat flew off.

"No!" Woody reached out with his left hand futilely as it blew away…

… Into Buzz's hand.

"What's a cowboy without his hat?" Buzz shouted, astride Bullseye.

"Does Bullseye ever get tired?" Double D asked in wonder.

"We're toys," Jessie replied.

"Oh, right, I knew that," Double D grinned embarrassingly.

"Buzz! Buzz!" Woody had an idea. "BUZZ, get behind the tires! Double D, take Jessie's hand. Jessie, let go of the plane."

"What? Are you crazy?" Double D and Jessie both shouted at him.

"Just pretend it's the final episode of Woody's Roundup, Jessie," Woody told her as calmly as he could.

"But it was cancelled! We never saw if you made it!" Jessie shouted. Double D merely listened, not really understanding what they were talking about at the moment.

"Well, then, lets find out altogether!" Woody shouted. Jessie looked to Double D, who nodded while taking a firm hold of her hand. Then they jumped off.

"Oh – oh – oh!" Woody yelled. Jessie screamed and Double D decided to follow her example.

They fell straight down and right under the wheels, passing inches between them. The plastic circle released its hold on the nut and fell after Woody.

Buzz and Bullseye, who had waited behind the wheels as Woody instructed, realized what was coming. "Uh oh."

The impact would have been horrendous if they were all real. Thankfully, they were all – er, most of the them were toys.

"Oh man," Double D moaned as he sat up on the asphalt. "I am never doing that again. I should just leave that to Ed, or even Eddy."

"We did it! We did it!" Jessie screamed, jumping around and hugging Woody, Buzz, and Double D.

"Nice ropin', cowboy!" Buzz complemented.

"That was definitely Woody's finest hour!" Jessie jumped around madly and hugged Bullseye's neck.

"Your hat, partner," Buzz grinned and handed Woody his hat.

"Hoo– hoo!" Woody crowed.

A plane descended and landed right on them. The wheels passed over them and this time, they missed by centimeters.

When the plane passed on, they were all huddled in one shivering mass.

"Let's… go home," Woody said with a grin and everybody else all obliged.

~~~

"Andy, come on hon. Time to go. Hey, you fixed Woody!" Andy's mom said as she walked in.

"Yeah," Andy said proudly as he held up Woody and his bulked-up right arm. "Glad I decided not to take him to camp. His whole arm might have come off."

He set Woody on the table and walked out with his mom, closing the door behind him.

"Well, what do you know?" Woody said in awe, sitting up. "Guys, you can come out now!"

"And about time, too!" Donald shouted while everyone heaved open the toy box and fell out. "I thought I was gonna suffocate in there!"

"… The Starblade Master that Dox and Naux told me about…" Bo Peep suddenly stated aloud, "Thank you for saving Woody."

"Yee– hah! Oh, Bullseye, we're part of a family again!" Jessie shouted, showing the horse the underside of her boot, which had 'Andy' scribbled on it.

Bullseye proudly showed his hoofs, which also had 'Andy' scribbled all over it.

Bullseye jumped off the bed and Buzz approached Jessie, pondering on what to say.

"Uh, m – ma'am, I, uh – well, I just wanted to say you're a bright young woman with a beautiful yarnful of hair. Uh, a hairful of yarn. It's uh – whoo – uh – I must go," Buzz stumbled over his words and, embarrassed, tried to get away.

"Well, aren't you the sweetest space toy I ever met?" Jessie grinned and kissed him on the cheek.

"What's that?" Slinky asked Buster, Andy's dog, who was barking madly and scratching at the door, his tail tucked underneath him. "Bark bark? This fella says he needs to go out back for a little private time."

"That critter needs help! Yodel – ay – hee –hoo!" Jessie crowed as she kicked up a toy car into her hand and jumped on it like a skateboard. She hopped onto the racecar track that went at a loop before cutting off in the air and sailed through it. After jumped up into the air, she grabbed a hold of the doorknob and turned it, kicking off in the process. The door opened and Buster scrambled out with a bark.

Buzz's jaw fell open and his wings opened out, blinking like mad.

"You've heard of us?" Double D asked Bo Peep.

"In a dream I had a few nights ago; two teenagers who looked like you told me that you and the others would save Woody," Bo Peep replied.

"I have a question," Double D asked of Bo Peep. "Who were the people?"

"They said they were Lighthearts named Dox and Naux-"

"What?" Ami questioned, hearing her Lightheart's name.

"They said that Woody was the Keyhole that you were all looking for," Bo Peep continued, "They told me how important Woody was to the world."

"I see," Double D stated.

Usagi's Moonblade appeared in her hand, generating a lot of 'Oooh's' and 'Ahhhh's' from the other toys, "I'll seal him," she then looked to Woody, who had come over to them, "I don't think this will hurt."

With that, she swung her Moonblade around and pointed straight at Woody. Light glowed and streaked around, from the Moonblade to Woody and a Keyhole formed right in front of him. The light flashed in and filled in the vacant space of the Keyhole with light. Soon two summon gems appeared in front of Double D and Usagi as they then took them. Double D had a green colored gem, while Usagi received a blue colored gem.

City Point and Andy's Room was sealed.

"Wow!" Wheezy, the rubber penguin, jumped up and down. "I never thought I'd see anything like that!"

"What?" Everyone turned to him.

"Mr. Shark found a squeaker while you were out saving Woody," Bo Peep explained.

"Awesome, Wheezy!" Woody and Buzz exclaimed. "And how do you feel?"

"Oh, I feel swell!" Wheezy said and added the words a professional toy singer would always say, "In fact, I think I feel a song coming on."

The speaker threw him a microphone and Wheezy began to sing.

"You've got a friend in me.

You've got a friend in me.

You just remember what your old pal said,

Babe, you've got a friend in me.

Yeah, you've got a friend in me!"

Woody, Bo Peep, Buzz, Jessie, and Double D heard Andy's mom say, "Come on over. Oh, you are such a big girl. Andy, you think she's ready to drive the car yet?"

"Yeah, and I can teach her!" Andy agreed excitedly.

"You still worried?" Buzz asked Woody.

"About Andy? Nah, it'll be fun while it lasts," Woody replied confidently.

Double D and Bo Peep smiled at this.

"I'm proud of you, cowboy," Buzz said.

"Besides, when it all ends, I'll have old Buzz Lightyear to keep my company for infinity and beyond," Woody added, then looked to Double D, who was now looking at Wheezy. "What's more, I'd love to be around while he grows up. I know for sure he won't be forgetting us anytime soon."

"You've said it," Jessie agreed.

"You're gonna see it's our destiny

You got a friend in me.

(Yes, you do)

You've got a friend in me.

(That's the truth)

You've got a friend in me

Yeah!"

"Come on, guys," Mickey called to everyone, "It's time to go."

Everyone watched as the foreigners of their world left them, all of them waving their goodbyes to them…

AN: This is an event that I've come up for this show's world, meaning that there are made-up characters in it. The situation, to me, seems to start out like either Aladdin or Final Fantasy IX (or both; I can't really tell). Also note that if I go out of character, I don't really mean it; it's going along with the situation that I have planned… Enjoy this First Installment of DOOM!

Chapter 20: Ed-World III-Heckville-Part I

It was a somewhat peaceful, cold night here in the outside suburban neighborhood of Heckville as we soon come upon a commotion at a nearby house. Let's listen in…

"You took the last can of Poop, didn't you Dib?" howled a young, dark feminine voice from inside as you could hear things being thrown inside the house.

"Listen, Gaz! I -ouch-didn't mean to -oww- do that!" stated a teen boy's voice as you could tell that he was being hit by the things that were being thrown.

Soon we can see a teen boy running out of the house. He was fifteen year old with short, black hair, with a piece of his hair stick up to look like a scythe; and had dark, golden brown eyes that were mildly covered up by his big, round glasses. He wore a blue t-shirt with a gray smiley face on the front (Which wasn't really smiling; it was really more of a blank stare) underneath a long, black trench coat, black jeans, and black boots. His name was Dib, and he was currently running away from his sister Gaz, who just figured out that he drunk the last can of Poop (A soft drink, not…uh, anyway…).

Dib finally stopped running and turned back to his house, where he could see Gaz waiting for him, punching her fisted hand into her other hand in a threatening way. He made a sigh, "Oh well, I'll take a walk so she can cool off."

Dib walked down the sidewalk, looking at all of the houses on the block of his neighborhood. He soon walked into the city of Heckville, where there was a crowd gathered around City Hall. Apparently, the Mayor was going to give a speech on something. It was while the Mayor was preparing to give his speech that he noticed someone that seemed a bit out of place.

It was a girl that was around his age of fifteen. She had shoulder-length, bright sky blue hair and dark, ocean blue eyes. She wore a royal blue t-shirt with a white vertical line on the left side of her shirt. She also wore a pair of white carpenter pants and baby blue and dark blue tennis shoes. She also had a blue, heart-shaped pendant with angelic wings on both sides of the blue heart that was on a small chained necklace around her neck. The girl also seemed to have a depressed look to her face.

Dib widened his eyes at her; she looked a bit different than everyone else he's ever seen. Usually, everyone in town world wear a shade of a dark, neutral color and never white, unless if it went with a shade of black. It was about a few seconds later that he realized who she was; her name was Skye, she was also the Mayor's daughter. She was home-schooled, meaning that she was never known to any other kids around Heckville. Heck, not many people knew she existed. He wondered why she was here now…

"My fellow people of Heckville," the Mayor started to say as he then gestured to his daughter, "My daughter Skye is now engaged to a very intelligent young human from…somewhere far away. And the wedding will be here tomorrow. That will be all, thank you!"

Dib widened his eyes in shock at what the Mayor just said; his fifteen year old daughter was to be wedded tomorrow? 'I don't even think that's legal!'

Everyone else in the crowd cheered for her, not really knowing why this marriage was happening… But as the crowd lessened in number, Dib decided to go to the park to get his mind off a few things. Little did he know that he was secretly being followed. He finally arrived to the park in less than five minutes. Dib soon sat down on the bench and leaned back his head to look up at the sky. He just sat there for a moment, until…

"Excuse me."

"Huh?" he exclaimed slightly as he looked to his right. He gasped in shock at who was sitting next to him.

It was the Mayor's daughter, Skye.

"I hope you don't mind me sitting here," she said.

"Oh! Nope, I, uh… don't mind at all!" Dib said with slight edginess in his voice.

Skye only replied with a nod of her head as she made a sigh and looked up at the night sky, "So, what is your name?"

"… The name's Dib," Dib replied, "Aren't you-?"

"The Mayor's daughter; yes," Skye replied for him, "I hate that title so much. I just want to be called Skye; not daughter," she made another sigh, "It's also nice to talk to someone your own age for once."

"Yeah, I guess…"

"… Hey, Dib?"

"Hmm?"

"Can you promise me something?"

Dib arched an eyebrow at her, "What about?"

"You can probably tell that I've ran away from my dad and the stupid wedding. So, uh…" Skye paused for a moment, "Don't take me back there, okay?"

"… I won't," he replied.

Skye smiled at his response as they both then look up at the sky together, looking at the stars… They soon saw one of the stars moving across the sky. They both gasp as that star seem to come out of the sky and into the world's atmosphere. But it was not a meteor of any kind, it was a spaceship! The spaceship soon landed on the ground in the woods on the other side of the park.

"Was that… a spaceship?" questioned Skye with a gasp.

Dib could not have been happier in his life; finally, someone besides himself saw an alien spaceship, "Let's go check it out!"

"Us?" questioned Skye, "Why-?"

"Why not?" Dib said as he and Skye soon got up off the bench they sat on and ran towards where the spaceship landed, on the other side of the park. They soon arrived to the woods, but stopped on the outskirts of the woods to catch their breath.

"I bet it's just Zim," Dib muttered mostly to himself, but it was loud enough to be heard by Skye.

Skye gasped at the name he said, "D-Did you just say Zim?"

Dib seemed surprised at her, "Do you know him?"

"Yes, sort of," Skye started to say, "He's…the one who convinced my father to set up the marriage."

"What?" Dib yelled as loud as his voice could take it while Skye made a surprised face, covering up her ears as she did. He then started to think about something, "T-There has to be a reason for it…"

"… I thought he was weird," Skye stated, putting her hands away from her ears, "A green skin condition; there is no such thing in this world that I know of."

"It's because he's an alien," Dib replied.

"… Well, I could've figured thatout," Skye muttered.

Suddenly, they could hear footsteps from inside the woods as they then could hear voices as well, "Do you think it was wise to leave Spongebob and Patrick to guard the Krusty ship?" asked a male voice to whomever it was walking with.

"I can trust those two enough to do that," said a female voice, "Besides, it's not like they can blow it up."

Soon Dib and Skye saw four people walk out of the woods; it was Ed, Hotaru, Sandy and Dimitri.

"What the - they're human?" Dib gawked with confusion. That's when the four people from the woods noticed them.

"Oh, hello there," said the black haired teen girl as the four of them all came up to Dib and Skye, "Do you mind telling us where we are?"

"Uh…"

"You're in the City of Heckville," replied Skye, realizing that they were the ones in the spaceship, "Did you just come out of a spaceship?"

"Yep, that was us!" said the red haired boy with the unibrow in a sort of goofy smile.

"But… that's impossible!" Dib stated, "You're not aliens!"

"No, but we are foreigners; isn't that the same thing?" the brunette girl said with a slightly smart smirk.

"Uh…" not everyone knew how to respond to that.

"Well, what're your names?" asked the brunette boy.

"My name is Skye," Skye introduced as she then gestured towards Dib, "And this is Dib."

"It's nice to meet you! I'm Ed," said the teen boy with the unibrow.

"My name is Hotaru," said the teen girl with black hair.

"The name's Sandy," the brunette girl said.

"And my name's Dimitri," the brunette boy finished off.

"Right… so, why are you here?" asked Dib with a slightly suspicious voice.

"We're looking for something; something very important," Ed said, dragging out the word 'very'.

Skye made a curious face, "What are you looking for?"

"A Keyhole," they all replied.

Dib and Skye both arched an eyebrow, "A Keyhole?"

The four strangers nodded their heads, "Yeah, it's the heart of an individual world throughout the universe, including this world," Dimitri stated.

"The heart of the world…?" questioned Skye, sounding a bit distant to everyone, 'Where have I heard that term before…?'

"Halt!" shouted a booming voice as everyone turned to see the Mayor and about six police officers behind them, "You are all under arrest for the kidnapping of my daughter and defiance!"

"What?" exclaimed the four strangers of the group.

Skye soon stood in front of her father and the policemen, "They did not kidnap me; I ran away on my own!"

"Do you think that matters to me?" said her father as he came up to her, "You're being 'arrested' for defiance too, human."

As soon as he said that, he raised his arm and knocked Skye on the left side of her head in a very forceful way. Skye was caught off guard at this as she fell to the ground, knocked out like a light.

"Skye!" Dib yelped as everyone tried to come over to her, but they were blocked off by the policemen.

"… I did not think you would show up in my plan, Dib-worm," said the Mayor, now in a very different, familiar voice. Dib widened his eyes, "But I guess this is a good thing for me. Now I can get rid of you once and for all… soon enough."

And before anyone could do anything, Skye's 'father' grabbed the unconscious blue haired girl by the collar of her shirt and formed a portal of darkness behind him. The four strangers recognized the portal; it was the portal of darkness that could only be made by someone who's joined the Heartless. Skye's 'father' soon started to transform into who the imposter was; a green skinned alien that had two, long black antennas for ears and had red, magenta eyes. He looked to be about the same height as Dib was. He wore a red-like uniform, complete with black gloves and black boots; and had an egg-like machine on his back. He soon walked into the portal with Skye still in his grasps, laughing his head off as the portal disappeared. Suddenly, the police around them disappeared, as if they were only shadows…

Chapter 21: Ed-World III-Heckville-Part II

(Not too Far Back in Chapter 20…)

"… I did not think you would show up in my plan, Dib-worm," said the Mayor, now in a very different, familiar voice. Dib widened his eyes, "But I guess this is a good thing for me. Now I can get rid of you once and for all… soon enough."

And before anyone could do anything, Skye's 'father' grabbed the unconscious blue haired girl by the collar of her shirt and formed a portal of darkness behind him. The four strangers recognized the portal; it was the portal of darkness that could only be made by someone who's joined the Heartless. Skye's 'father' soon started to transform into who the imposter was; a green skinned alien that had two, long black antennas for ears and had red, magenta eyes.

He soon walked into the portal with Skye still in his grasps, laughing his head off as the portal disappeared. Suddenly, the police around them disappeared, as if they were only shadows…

(And Now, Back to Chapter 21… Goodness, 21? That's a lot!)

Everyone stood there for a moment of silence as Ed, Hotaru, Sandy and Dimitri looked at Dib, "Uhh, Dib; who was that?" asked Sandy.

Dib looked saddened for a moment, but then made an angry face, "Zim…"he slightly growled aloud, "He's an Irken, an alien, that's trying to destroy the world," he soon explained to everyone, "No one has ever believed me about him… except Skye."

"Aren't you gonna go after him?" Ed questioned as everyone turned to him, "He has a friend of yours, who might be in danger!"

"Ed's right," Hotaru said, "It looks like he's with the Heartless too. So it's possible that he want's something from her."

Dib was silent for a moment before saying, "… I know where he may be at," he then starts to run, but then turns back around to the others, "Come on, I may need your help!"

The other four could only nod their heads as they soon followed Dib to wherever he was going. Little did they know that they were being watched by two people, who were off hiding behind a bush in the woods. Those two people then revealed themselves, only to reveal a girl and a man.

The girl looked to be about nine years old. She had medium length, dark red maroon-colored hair and dark, lavender colored eyes that were mostly covered up by her large, round shaped glasses with black frames. She wore a pastel purple t-shirt with a pair of black shorts that went to her mid shin and black and white tennis shoes.

The man beside her looked to be about thirty-two years old. He wore a black cape, a red headband, and orange shoes. The front of his black cape was red, and he had red eyes and black hair. He wore an orange glove on his left hand, but his left hand looked more like a claw than a hand. He had a gun in his gun holster, which was located on his belt.

"Was those the ones you were talking about?" asked the man to the girl. He had a really throaty, yet very calm voice at the moment.

"Yes, I know it's them," the girl replied as she then turned to the man, "Thank you for helping me get this far, Vincent."

"It's no problem," the man named Vincent said as they both soon took off after Ed and the others…

~~~

Everyone soon arrived at where Dib had led them to; a poorly constructed house that was in between a use-to-be vacant lot. It was a house that looked like it came out from a kindergarten's drawing, complete with a magenta pink roof and the outside was purple. It also had a lot of fake genomes and plastic flamingos in the front yard.

"This is his house?" Dimitri questioned, "Weird…"

"Come on guys; there's really nothing dangerous in his front yard," Dib said as they trailed through the front yard without much of a problem.

If the outside of Zim's house were not strange enough, than the inside of his house was. It was the same color on the inside that was on the outside of the house, and there was a picture of a green monkey hanging over his couch.

And sitting in front of the TV was a little silver robot with glowing teal eyes. He was singing something that was in his head, "Do di do di do di do di dooo!" he repeated the same lyric over and over again until it came to be annoying to the people walking through. (AN: Random fact; I have this as my ringtone on my phone… Lol.)

"Don't worry about Gir, he's too spaced out to notice that we're here," Dib said as they pressed on into the kitchen.

The kitchen seemed a little bit normal, if it weren't for the toilet on the far end wall, "That's the entrance to his lab," Dib said.

"Eww, you mean we have to go down a toilet?" Sandy asked.

"What? It's not like he uses it that way," Dib replied as they walked up to it and went down into it.

Surprisingly, they found themselves in a glass elevator. They saw Zim's lab in full as they proceeded down the elevator; thick metal pipes and wires were all around the lab. And as soon as they stepped out of the elevator…

"Ah, I've been expecting you, human worm-babies," said a voice from above on the ceiling as everyone looked up to see Zim; eight spider-like legs with metal joints came from out of his egg-shaped backpack, which was what was supporting him to be up on the ceiling. Ed seemed to awe a little at the way it looked from where he stood on the ground.

It was soon that Zim came down from the ceiling and landed on his two feet as the spider legs went back into his backpack, "Have you come to save the Dirt-Mayor's child?"

Dib could only glare at the Irken as Zim continued to ramble, "It's very noble of you humans to come here and try to stop Zim's plan…" he then made a slightly sinister smile, "Too bad that all of your efforts will be in vain."

Suddenly, they could hear footsteps in front of them as they saw a figure walk towards them. It was a girl; a girl that was the same height as Skye, even when she had her head hung low. She had long, dark navy blue hair that went to her mid thighs. She wore something sinister-looking; a blue tank top that was underneath a black, sleeveless vest that was much fitted around her waist, like a corset, but a little bit more wider. She wore a black skirt with two, dark blue vertical lines going down the left and right side of the skirt; the skirt went to her mid shin, it looked a bit like it was partly made of a tulle-like material. She had a pair of black dress shoes with a pair of horizontal striped, black and blue socks that went to her lower mid shin. Behind the girl, she had a pair of dark feathered wings that were black in color. She then looked up at them; her face was exactly like Skye, except her eyes were the same hue as her hair, maybe even darker. It was then that they realized that this girl was, in fact, Skye.

"I see we have visitors," said a voice from behind the girl as Ed immediately puts up his guard, summoning out his Crestblade. Soon another figure walks forward beside the winged girl; it was Zianxa. (AN: You know, Mistress 9's Heartless from Ed's Shrek saga? Well, this is the same one.), "And two very familiar visitors to me."

"Zianxa!" Ed yelped with a little anger, "Did you turn Skye into a Heartless?"

Zianxa could only laugh at his question, "My, you have grown some intelligence since three years ago," that's when Hotaru turned more pale in the face; she figured out who this woman was, "You are exactly right!" she then turned her head to Skye's Heartless, "She is not an ordinary Heartless either; she is an Angel Heartless who goes by her mind more than instincts, isn't that right, Syx?" (AN: Pronounced like the number six… or like Stevie Nix, without the "N". XD)

"Yes Zianxa," said the girl, now named Syx, as she nodded her head with agreement; she had a more malevolent voice to her than she use to.

Dib's face seemed to fall with slight hopelessness when he heard Syx speak; was Skye really gone?

Zim saw Dib's saddened face, "Aww, is Dib-worm upset?"

Dib made a glare and gritted his teeth at Zim, but did not say anything.

"No matter, it's useless to ask," Zim stated as he turned to Zianxa, "When do we kill off these humans?"

"Patience, Zim; they need time to think of a plan," Zianxa replied to Zim's question, "It is only fair to give them a chance, before we destroy them."

Zim nodded his head as he looked at the party; they were already in a huddle.

"Okay, here's the plan; me and Sandy will go after Zim, while Dib tries to make Skye come to her senses," Dimitri said as he turned to Ed and Hotaru, "I think you two should take care of the woman, since it seems like you two know her somehow."

Ed and Hotaru could only nod their heads as everyone then turned back to the villains. Sandy and Dimitri summoned out their Keyblades as Ed got into a fighting position with his Crestblade and Hotaru transformed into Sailor Saturn with a flash of lavender and black light. Dib spotted something on the ground that he could use to defend himself with; a long, metal pole that was very light.

"Charge!" Ed said with a battle cry as the five teens ran forth to their opponents.

~~~

Meanwhile, back in Zim's living room…

(AN: Aww, don't you hate it when that happens! D:)

We could still see Gir sitting in front of the TV, still singing the annoying tune from a while back. It was then that the front door of the living room opened to reveal the girl, and the man named Vincent, from before.

"Where do you think they can be?" asked the girl as they both walked in.

"There must be a hidden room somewhere," replied Vincent as they then stopped to look around in the living room for a secret entrance of some sort.

It was soon that Gir noticed the two people in his master's living room, "Oooo, visitors!" Gir said as he quickly got up from where he sat and ran over to them. Vincent saw him coming, but noticed that the robot was not dangerous. The girl also saw the robot coming, but came to the same conclusion as Vincent did.

"Can I help you?" asked Gir to the two visitors, with an emphasis on 'help'.

"Yes, did you see anyone come by here?" Vincent questioned.

"Hmm…" Gir hummed a little, as if he were really thinking about it, "… I don't know!" he finally said.

Both the girl and Vincent made a sigh, "Great, a clueless robot; just what we needed," stated the girl with slight sarcasm.

Vincent soon looked off into the kitchen, noticing a toilet in the kitchen, "… Can it really be that simple?"

"Huh?" questioned the girl as she looked at what Vincent was looking at, "…Oh."

The two of them trailed to the kitchen, leaving a confused Gir behind, 'I'll wait for them when they come back up!' Gir thought as he turned his attention back to the TV. He sat back down in front of it as Vincent and the girl went down the toilet/elevator to Zim's lab, where a few hard battles were being fought…

Chapter 19: Double D-World I, Revisit II

It was a somewhat peaceful night here in Transverse Town as we see Double D, Ami, Usagi, Mamoru, Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Duckula get off the Gummi ship and walk out onto the bricked stone ground of the town.

"So, we going to go visit Terra again?" Ami asked.

"Yes, so she can give us the summon gem's name," replied Double D.

They all walked to the stairs leading up to the Second District. Of course since he now had a few munny, Duckula decide to pay Rolf a visit to buy some of his broccoli. They soon made their way to the Hotel in the Second District. Inside the blue room, they saw Makoto and Terra talking to four kids.

The first kid was a girl that looked to be the age of nine or so. She had long, midnight blue hair that was in a French braid with a sky blue bow and bright, sea green eyes. She wore a sky blue t-shirt with a royal blue vertical line going down the left side of her shirt. She also wore a pair of beige pants that went to her ankles and white tennis shoes.

The second kid was a girl that was the same age as the other girl. She had long, light brown hair that was pulled back into a long ponytail and dark, emerald green eyes. She wore a red t-shirt with a pair of light brown khakis that went to her mid shin and a pair of brown boots.

The third kid there was a girl that was slightly older than the two other girls, but not by much. She had short, hunter green hair that was like a boy's haircut and chocolate brown eyes that were covered up mostly by her oval shaped glasses. She wore a maroon colored shirt that two white stripes on each sleeve. She also wore a pair of black pants and black tennis shoes.

The last kid was a familiar pink haired girl…

"Chibiusa?" Usagi, Mamoru and Ami gasped as all of the kids, Makoto and Terra turned to the arriving visitors.

"Usagi, Mamoru!" the pink haired girl named Chibiusa exclaimed with surprise and joy as she came over to the two and gave them a hug.

"What are you doing here, Chibiusa?" questioned Ami as she then noticed the three other girls with her, "And who are your friends here?"

Chibiusa slightly smirked at her question, "Why these are some the Sailor Senshi of Crystal Tokyo!"

"It's true!" said the brown haired girl with a slight chirp of her voice as she turned to Makoto and the green haired girl, "Isn't that right; Mom, sister Rydia?"

"Sure is, Rosa," Makoto replied as the green haired girl nodded her head.

It was then that Double D noticed the blue haired girl was looking at him and Ami. The blue haired girl soon got up from where she sat and came over to Double D and Ami, "… Mother Ami? Father Eddward?"

"… W-Who might you be?" Double D asked the girl.

The girl smiled at the two, "It's me, Yuki; your daughter."

That statement made both Double D and Ami blush beet red, "Oh my…" both Double D and Ami muttered. Yuki giggled at their reaction to the news.

"… Did you come back here for another summon gem?" questioned Terra.

"Oh! Uh, yes, we did," Double D quickly responded, "Usagi also received one as well."

"Hmm, a two for one?" stated Terra as Double D handed over his green gem to her. She held it for a moment before she handed the gem back to him, "His name is Link. Let's go outside to summon him," she then turned to Usagi, "After he finishes his summon, I'll get your summon's name and you will summon it."

Everyone (including Yuki and Chibiusa) was soon outside, ready to watch the summon take place. Soon Double D summons out his Starblade as he held the green gem in his other hand, "Link!"

Suddenly, a flash of light bursts out from the stone as a ray of light lands on the ground beside Double D. Then the light started to get bigger and started to form into a shape. And when the light show was over, there stood a person with his eyes closed. It was a teenage guy, around the age of nineteen. He had golden, blond hair. He wore the strangest outfit; a green, elf-like hat; a green tunic; and a pair of brown boots. He also had a sword hanging from his brown belt and a bow and some arrows that were hanging from a strap on his back.

The teenager soon opened his dark, almost ice blue eyes, "Where am I?" he questioned as he looked at his surroundings. He soon spotted others with him, "Who are you? Am I in Hyrule Town?"

They soon explained to the guy in the green tunic where he was and what he's been summoned to do, "I see… so the dark bugs I fought were Heartless?"

"That's correct," Double D replied, "My name is Double D, what's your name?"

"My name is Link, the Hero of Time in my world," the teenager said as he shook his hand; he had a slightly strong grip to it, "I will help you fight these things to get back to my world."

"Thank you," Double D thanked as Link then turned back into light and went back into the green gem.

"Now, Usagi," Terra said as Usagi turned to her, "Can you give me your summon gem?"

Usagi only nodded her head as she handed Terra the blue gem. It was a few seconds later that Terra got the name of the person. Terra soon handed the gem back to her as Usagi summoned out her Moonblade and held the blue gem in her other hand, "Sonic!"

Suddenly, a flash of light bursts out from the stone as a ray of light lands on the ground beside Usagi. Then the light started to get bigger and started to form into a shape. And when the light show was over, there was… a hedgehog, but it was standing erect. It had somewhat spiky hair and had ocean blue fur. It was also wearing red and white tennis shoes and had a pair of huge, white gloves. It soon opened its eyes, revealing bright, jade green eyes.

"What…?" he muttered as he looked at his surroundings, "What's this place?" he soon saw the other people around him. He made a yelp of surprise, "Ack! Who're you guys? And where am I?"

They soon explained to the blue hedgehog where he was and what he's been summoned to do, "Uh-huh… So, I'm suppose to travel with you guys to beat the bad guys you're after?"

"Yeah, that's about it," Usagi said, "I'm Usagi; and you're…?"

"The name's Sonic; Sonic the Hedgehog," the blue hedgehog said, pointing his right thumb to his chest, which he poked out a bit, "I'll be glad to help!"

"Thanks Sonic!" Usagi thanked as Sonic then turned back into light and went back into the blue gem.

"Well, that's seems to be it for now," Mickey said as everyone turned to him, "We probably need to be going now."

"You're going somewhere else?" asked Chibiusa as she looked at Yuki beside her; she had the same look on her face. Chibiusa turned on her puppy dog eyes to Usagi and Mamoru, "Can we go?"

"…" Usagi and Mamoru looked at each other before concluding, "I guess you can…"

"Yay!" cheered Chibiusa and Yuki, "You won't regret it, you guys!" the two nine year olds soon rushed off to the first district.

"Oh boy, this'll get interesting," Donald grumbled to himself as they all walked back to the first district, where they saw Count Duckula waiting for them, while eating Rolf's broccoli that he paid for. It looked like he was in heaven at the moment, "Come on, we got to get going."

"Huh? Oh, yeah," Duckula stated as he soon joined everyone to go back to the entrance of town. They saw Chibiusa and Yuki waiting for them by their Gummi ship, "Are we… ready to go?" questioned Yuki.

"Yes," Ami said to her future daughter as they soon got on the ship.

It was about a minute later that they blasted off into the starry skies above Transverse Town…

Chapter 22: Ed-World III-Heckville-Part III

(Back in Chapter 21…)

Vincent soon looked off into the kitchen, noticing a toilet in the kitchen, "… Can it really be that simple?"

"Huh?" questioned the girl as she looked at what Vincent was looking at, "… Oh."

The two of them trailed to the kitchen, leaving a confused Gir behind, 'I'll wait for them when they come back up!' Gir thought as he turned his attention back to the TV. He sat back down in front of it as Vincent and the girl went down the toilet/elevator to Zim's lab, where a few hard battles were being fought…

(And now, onto Chapter 22…)

Meanwhile, back in Zim's lab, you could see almost all of the equipment in the lab, destroyed or broken; it looked like a tornado went through the lab. We then can see the five heroes, either standing or bending down on their knees; they were all exhausted from the battle that was still taking place.

"Well, humans?" Zim started to say as he came closer to them; Dib in particular, "Do you worm-babies finally surrender to Zim?"

"… No," Dib said as he stood up from where he kneeled, gripping his metal pole in his right hand, "I won't give up to you; not ever!"

"Hmph, stubborn as always," Zim complied as he brought out his metal spider legs once again, "That's fine with me!" he then turned to Syx, Skye's Heartless, "Syx, get rid of this smelly human for Zim."

"…"Syx did not respond. Everyone looked towards the dark Angel Heartless.

"… Syx, do as I say, now!" Zim yelled at Syx as he walked over to her, "Syx! I said-"

Suddenly, Zim was hit with a blast of dark energy as he flew back into a wall that was on the other side of the lab. Everyone was taken aback as they glanced towards Syx; her right arm stuck out towards the direction of Zim. Syx had attacked Zim. There was also something else about her; her eyes and hair were changing colors, back to their original colors.

"… Skye?" questioned Dib as he ran over to Syx, "Are you back with us, Skye?"

"… Yes," Skye replied as they could all see her return to normal within a blink of an eye. Skye then gave Dib a hug, much to Dib's shock, "I-I thought I was gone!"

"Grr, you worthless human!" Zim shouted as everyone turned towards the Irken, "Why did you change back?" he then looked around, "Zianxa! The tides have changed for us now!"

They all heard a laugh as Zianxa came into the picture once again (AN: She left the battle for a while when they thought that they were winning), "I do not think that at all."

Zim froze at the comment, "What do you mean?"

Zianxa made another laugh, "I was only using you to gain Skye's Heartless. But now that she gained her heart back, I do not need her anymore. I have two interesting replacements to take her place."

Zim was shocked to hear this, "You… betrayed Zim?"

"Why, of course!" Zianxa said with a sinister smirk, "I did not need you in the first place; I could of done all of this all by myself, but I felt a little… lazy."

"Grr…" Zim was beyond mad now; he trusted her! How could he be so dumb to trust her like that?

"But, enough talking to the likes of you," Zianxa said as she turned towards Ed and Hotaru (AN: Everyone now had their strength back to stand up), "I've found two people who would love to-"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Three, fast shots were fired at Zianxa as she got hit by two bullets; one in her right hand, while the other one was on her left shoulder. She cries out in pain as black blood gushed out of her bullet wounds.

"Grr, I'll get you two another day!" Zianxa said as she then stepped back into a darkness portal that she made behind her. She disappeared soon afterwards.

Everyone soon looked into the direction of where the shots were fired from; near the elevator of the lab. They saw a man and a girl; the man was the one with the gun, because they saw him put the gun back into his gun holster.

"Hey!" Zim shouted, "What are you doing here in Zim's lab?"

"We followed them here, what does it look like?" the man simply stated.

While the man and Zim started to argue a little, the girl beside the man soon ran over to the party and stopped in front of Ed and Hotaru, "Are your names Ed and Hotaru?"

"… Yes," Hotaru replied as Ed made a nod of his head.

The girl now made a few tears in her eyes; they looked to be tears of joy, "I knew it."

She then embraced both of them in a hug around their waists, almost like one Ed would do. She started to sob profusely.

Ed and Hotaru (AN: And everyone else) were both confused, "What's wrong?" they both asked.

The girl wiped a few tears away from her eyes to say, "I-I'm just happy to be with you two again…" she tightened her hug, "Dad, Mom."

"Huh?" questioned everyone with surprise as Ed and Hotaru went red in the face, "What…?"

"What did she just say?" Dimitri whispered to Sandy.

"I think she said 'Dad' and 'Mom'," Sandy replied.

The girl then came out of the hug, "I-I'm sorry, I let my emotions take over before I said my name," the girl said as she looked at Ed and Hotaru in their eyes, "My name is Emily McNeal, and I'm from the 30th Century…" she paused for a second before she continued with a smile, "I am also your daughter."

"… Oh my word…"muttered Hotaru with a gasp as Ed turned a beet red.

"Oh…kay. Now I'm confused," Dib said as he scratched the side of his head in confusion. Skye could only reply with a nod of her head in agreement.

"Would you humans get out of my lab?" Zim yelled, "I'll leave you all alone for a year if you do!"

"Alright…" Vincent replied as they all then walk towards the elevator and get inside. They soon go up, back to the kitchen, leaving Zim behind to clean up his lab.

"Stupid humans…" Zim grumbled as he then gets a little vacuum that was not destroyed and starts cleaning up his lab, "I'll get you all one day; you'll see! I will be an Invader!"

Meanwhile, back in the kitchen, they all started to walk into the living room, only to see Gir still in front of the TV, "Geez, why does a robot need to watch TV anyway?" questioned Dimitri with a bit of sarcasm.

Gir soon noticed that the two people from before were back, "Yay! You came back!" Gir squealed with joy as he got up and ran over to them. Everyone stopped as Gir got in front of them, holding gooey waffles in front of them, "Do you want some waffles?"

"Umm, not now," Skye stated as they passed the teal-eyed robot. And when they tried to leave, a flash of light erupted from behind them.

"What?" questioned everyone as they looked back at Gir, who had a Keyhole on his head, "Yay, I'm all glowy and shiny!"

"It's a Keyhole!" Sandy stated with a gasp as she turned to Ed, "Hurry up and seal it."

Ed could only nod his head as he summoned out his Crestblade and pointed it towards the glowing Gir. It a beam of light comes from the tip of the Crestblade as it entered the Keyhole on Gir's head. As this was happening, Gir started to glow even more as you could clearly see him… grow taller? And when the Keyhole was finally sealed with a clicking sound, the light disappeared from around Gir. They were shocked to see what was now in Gir's place.

There, standing where Gir was once standing, was a slightly short, twelve year old boy with short, bushy sea green hair and dark, teal blue eyes. He was wearing a gray t-shirt with a pig print on the front, denim carpenter pants, and white tennis shoes. It was Gir. There was also two gems that soon floated in front of Ed and Dimitri; Ed pocketed a creamed-colored gem while Dimitri pocketed a red, blue and brown gem.

"Wow-Wee!" the boy named Gir stated with awe as he poked at his stomach, "I have organs!"

"… I guess the Keyhole on his other body turned him into a human," Vincent said.

"Maybe so," Dimitri replied.

"Oh well, now that this is over with, we got to get back to the Krusty ship," Sandy stated, "I need to check and see if Spongebob and Patrick haven't destroyed the ship while we were gone."

"Yes, you're right," Hotaru said with a nod of her head as they all tried to walk out the door again.

"Wait!" cried Gir as they stopped to see what he had to say now, "Can I come with you? Huh? Huh?"

"Uhh…"

"Sure you can!" Ed said with a smile as everyone looked at him with shock; he did not just say that, "But you have to behave rrreeeaaalllyyy well, okay?"

"Okie-Dokie!" Gir said with a salute as he ran off to the front of the yard, only to stop and say, "Where is your ship?"

Everyone made a sigh, even Vincent; this was going to be a long ride back to Monochrome City…

Chapter 23: Ed-World I-Revisit II

It was a somewhat quiet, cloudy day here in Monochrome City as we see Ed, Hotaru, Sandy, Spongebob, Patrick, Dimitri, Emily, Gir, and Vincent park in the spaceship dock of the black and white city. They soon exited the krusty ship and walked out onto the ground of the platform.

"Weee!" cheered Gir, Spongebob and Patrick as they ran around in a little circle.

"Finally, some fresh air!" Sandy stated with a deep sigh.

Hotaru nodded her head, "Yes, it is nice to get out of there."

"… I must be going now," Vincent stated as everyone turned to him, "Thank you for bringing me here. Now, I have some issues to take care of…" With that said, he jumped high into the air and took off, as if he were flying a little.

"Oooo, how can he jump so high?" Patrick asked Spongebob with awe.

"I dunno," replied Spongebob.

"… Okay, are we going to Garnet now?" Dimitri questioned.

Ed nodded his head, "Yep, I think so."

Emily tilted her head to the side in confusion, "Garnet? Who's that?"

"You will meet her soon, when we get to HQ," Hotaru replied to Emily as she only nodded her head as a reply.

They soon walked from the spaceship dock all the way to the building of HQ. And when they got to the building, they quickly went inside the building.

"Phew," they all stated as they then noticed that there were people staring at them in the main resting room of the building (AN: Those people were… almost everyone; Yuffie, Cid, Tidus, Celes, Paine, Garnet, Steiner, Sarah, Jimmy, Minako, Johnny, Plank, Artemis and Luna).

"Looked like you were all being chased," Yuffie giggled at them.

They all chucked as a reply while they came into the room.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Being curious, Emily decided to look out the window to see who it was. She gasped a little, "It couldn't be…?" she stated as she rushed to the door and opened it, only to see her suspicions proven correct.

Outside, there were two girls that were the same age as Emily.

One of the girls had long, dark magenta hair that went to her upper waist and had bright blue eyes. She wore a pastel blue t-shirt with a pair of white shorts that went to her mid shin and pink and white tennis shoes.

The other girl had long, dark blond hair that was almost brown in color and had dark, navy blue eyes. She wore a yellow t-shirt with a pair of tan shorts that went to her mid shin and black and tan tennis shoes.

"Cousin Fiona, Laura?" Emily questioned with a gasp as she let's the two of them in.

"Hello to you too, Cousin Emily," said the magenta haired girl, "It's a good thing we followed you."

"Yep," Emily said with a nod of her head as she turned to everyone else in the room, who were confused at whom they were.

Suddenly, they heard a growl as they turned to the two girls, who held their hands to their stomachs, "You two hungry?" Celes asked.

"Y-Yes…" said the dark blond as the magenta haired girl nodded her head as well.

"The kitchen is over to your left," Jimmy said as the magenta haired girl widened her eyes; he sounded like… "You can have anything you want, if you like."

"Thank you… Dad," stated the magenta haired girl as she mouthed the 'dad' part to Jimmy. Jimmy widened his eyes; what did she just say? Celes then led the two girls out of the room as Jimmy stood there for a moment, trying to decipher what the girl meant.

"Is there something wrong, Jimmy?" Sarah asked Jimmy, noticing the thinking look on his face.

"… That girl just called me her dad," Jimmy said to Sarah, "I'm trying to figure out why."

"That's because you are her dad, Uncle Jimmy," Emily replied to him, much to everyone's surprise at what she just said.

"Hey, what did you mean by uncle, Emily?" Hotaru asked with a slight giggle towards Sarah, much to her confusion.

"Because he is my uncle; in the future, anyway," Emily said as she then turned towards Sarah, "And, of course, you're my aunt by default."

"…What?" questioned both Sarah and Jimmy with a gasp of shock.

Soon Ed, Hotaru and Emily (AN: Mostly Emily) explained what was going on with Emily's situation; about the 30th Century. Emily also explained about Laura (AN: The other girl that walked in with her cousin Fiona) to Johnny and Minako; she was their daughter in the future.

"Wow…" all four of them stated.

"…Yeah, amazing," Sandy said with a bit of haste in her voice. She then turned to Ed and Dimitri, "Aren't you two here to see Garnet? That's the reason we came back here."

"… Oh!" they both stated as they took the gems from the last world out of their pockets.

Garnet soon stood up from where she sat in the room, "Do you want me to revive them?"

Ed and Dimitri nodded their heads as they all then walked outside of the building, back to the place where they did the last summon gem. Being first, Ed handed over his cream-colored gem to Garnet. She then held it in her right hand for about five seconds before giving it back to Ed, "His name is Meowth."

Ed only nodded his head as he then summoned out his Crestblade. He held the cream-colored gem up in the air with his left hand, "Meowth!"

Suddenly, a flash of light bursts out from the stone as a ray of light lands on the ground beside Ed. Then the light started to get a little bigger and started to form into a shape. And when the light show was over, there was a small, cat-like creature that was standing erect. It had brown and black ears, brown hind paws, a brown tipped tail that was curled at the end, and an odd gold charm on its forehead. It's eyes were closed at the moment; but when it finally opened its dark, brown eyes…

"… Ack, where the heck am I?" it stated with a Brooklyn-like accent. It was also a male, judging by the voice, "I don't remember bein' here."

He also twitched his ears as he then turned around to face Ed and the others, "And who are you suppose to be?"

"Aww!" Gir cooed as he ran up to the cat-like creature and started to pet him on the head, "Talking kitty!"

"H-Hey! Get off of me!" the cat said as he struggled to get away from Gir, but was unsuccessful as Gir just squeezed tighter on the cat.

"… What is it with cats and the ability to talk?" questioned Dimitri aloud.

"Gir, please come back here," Emily stated to Gir.

"Aww, but I want to play with the talking kitty!" Gir whined.

"You can play later, okay Gir?" Hotaru said with a calm tone as Gir soon dropped the cat like a bag of potatoes and went back towards the others.

The cat growled a little, "Alright, what the heck's goin' on?" he demanded, "Where're Jessie and James?"

They soon explained to the cream-colored cat where he was and what he's been summoned to do, "You want me to help you save the world?"

"Not just the world; the universe," Ed replied, "Are you gonna help?"

"… Yeah, of course I can!" the cat said as he pumped his right paw into the air.

"Good!" Ed said with a smile, "What's your name?"

"The name's Meowth," he cat said, "I'll fight along with ya later when you call!"

"Alright, I will!" Ed stated as Meowth then turned back into light and went back into the cream-colored gem.

"Okay, it is your turn, Dimitri," Garnet said as Dimitri came over to her and handed her the gem. She then held it in her right hand for about five seconds before giving it back to Dimitri, "His name is Shoeshine."

Dimitri only nodded his head as he then summoned out his Earthblade. He held the red, blue and brown gem up in the air with his left hand, "Shoeshine!"

Suddenly, a flash of light bursts out from the stone as a ray of light lands on the ground beside Dimitri. Then the light started to get a little bigger and started to form into a shape. And when the light show was over, there was an actual, real beagle dog sitting there with its eyes closed. It was also wearing something; a red sweater with a white 'U' on the front and had a small cape around its neck.

(AN: This is the real version, not the anamorphic cartoon version from 1964… Can anyone guess who this is before I reveal his "other" identity? And yes, his voice is from My Name is Earl…)

The dog groggily opened its eyes, "Boy, what a nap that was…? Hey!" the dog stated in a male voice as it then noticed its surroundings, "What is this place? This ain't Capitol City!"

They soon explained to the little beagle where he was and what he's been summoned to do, "Uh-huh… So, I'm suppose to travel with you guys to beat the bad guys you're after?"

"Yep, that's about it in a nutshell," Dimitri stated, "Can you tell me what's with the costume?"

"Well, isn't it obvious?" asked the beagle, "I'm a superhero, Underdog!" he then points down with his nose to the 'U' letter on his sweater, "Didn't you get it when you noticed the 'U'?"

"Ah, okay; I see," Dimitri said with a nod of his head.

"I also go by Shoeshine, which is my other alias," the beagle named Shoeshine said, "I can't wait to fight with you! When you need me, of course."

"Thanks Shoeshine!" Dimitri thanked as Shoeshine then turned back into light and went back into the red, blue and brown gem.

"Well, that's seems to be it for now," Spongebob said as everyone turned to him, "We probably need to be going now."

Everyone nodded their heads as they then waved goodbye to Garnet and trailed back to the spaceship dock. They soon found their krusty ship, got inside and blasted off towards another world…

Chapter 24: Eddy-World III-Minneapolis, Minnesota-Part I

It was a somewhat peaceful, slightly warm night here in the outside suburban neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota as we soon come upon a commotion in a secret room at a nearby house. Let's listen in…

"Dee-Dee… Get out of my laboratory!" yelled out a certain red haired, preteen genius from deep within his secret lab in an underground segment of his room. He was currently sitting at his computer, glancing back to his teen sister as he did.

This red haired preteen was currently yelling at his older sister of about two years, who usually wanders mindlessly down into his secret laboratory from time to time. She was currently mashing buttons on a remote that had no batteries in it. Apparently, the preteen boy was now smarter to take the batteries out before she came to mess with them, "Aww, why is there nothing happening?" the blond girl named Dee-Dee whined as she continued to press a big, red button on a small remote.

"That's because I took the batteries out before you could get to it," replied the preteen.

Dee-Dee made a sad face, "Oh…" but she then made a happy face to replace the sad one, "Oh well! I gonna go meet Lee-Lee and Me-Me now!" she then turned to her little brother, "Bye-Bye, Dexter!"

"Yeah, please go do that and get out of my laboratory," her brother snapped to her slightly.

Dee-Dee tilted her head to the side for a moment before tiptoeing off, leaving her brother, named Dexter, in his lab; alone. He made a sigh as he ran his purple gloved, right hand through his red hair, "Stupid Dee-Dee…"

Suddenly, something started to go off on his computer as he looked up to see what the disturbance was; there was something unusual up in the sky, close to the atmosphere of his town, and above his house. It looked like… a spaceship?

"It couldn't be…? Could it?" questioned Dexter as he rubbed his eyes a couple of times to see if he was really seeing the same thing as he thought he was seeing. It was soon off the radar, heading towards the edge of the town.

Dexter quickly got up from where he sat and sped towards his elevator that led him out of his lab and into his room. He quickly exited his room as he then went down the stairs of his house, towards the front door, which was not too far away. Dexter soon sped down the street towards town, where he saw the strange craft land in between the line of the town and his suburban neighborhood.

While he was running down the street, Dexter thought of something; he would need someone else with him, just in case if he needed another eyewitness to backup what he just saw. Dexter soon found the perfect person to ask as he came across her house; Talim. He soon came up to the door of Talim's house and knocked on the door. It was answered by who he was looking for about a few seconds later.

It was a girl that was the same age as Dexter; twelve years old. She had medium length, dark blue-green tinted hair that was pulled into two ponytails in the back and had dark, chocolate brown eyes. She wore an aqua green t-shirt where the sleeves of the t-shirt were white with two pink 'X' patterns on the sleeves. She also wore white khaki pants that went past her mid shin with a pink belt and black shoes with a pair of white, aqua blue and pink striped socks.

(AN: And, before any of you start asking questions… Yes, this is Talim from Soul Caliber II… but she's a different age than she was in the SC Games, ya know? So…she will still have her bladed-tonfa weapons, okay?)

"Hello?" she questioned as she then noticed who it was, "Dexter? What are you doing over here at my house; and at this time, of all hours?"

"Talim, I need you to come with me to see something," Dexter said to Talim as he then grabbed her by her left wrist with his right hand and made her run along with him.

"Hey-What the-Dexter?" Talim stated with surprise as they continue to run, "Where are you taking me?"

Dexter did not reply, which made Talim arch an eyebrow, 'Why is he not responding to me?'

The two of them soon got to their location that Dexter was heading to; the park that was between the city and the suburb. About two minutes of jogging later, the two of them were at the little park. They could smell a distinct smell of gasoline, the kind that rockets usually use, coming from an area of trees that had an area of grass in the middle of the trees.

"Dexter, what's going on?" Talim asked Dexter once again.

"I saw something heading in this direction," Dexter replied as the two of them soon headed towards the woods in the park.

Dexter and Talim were about to go into the woods when they heard footsteps that were not of their own. The two of them were surprised to see five people coming towards them. Two of them were fifteen year olds, while two of them were around their early twenties, and the last one was a nine year old.

(AN: Sorry folks, I'm not going to use the Looney Tune characters in this world chapter. Reason why this time is because of something that will happen in this world… and Summon Gems, because you've noticed that Usagi and Dimitri (in the other chapters) got summon gems, so I couldn't leave out Layla, thus, I couldn't leave out Evan, either… Sorry if you were expecting Bugs, Daffy and Lola in this world…)

"… Ah!" all five of them yelped a little when they were seen by Dexter and Talim, "Did you… see us land just now?" questioned the young man of the five.

"Uh, yeah; I did," Dexter stated to him, "Are you all…?"

"Aliens? Heck no!" said the short teen boy before Dexter could finish his sentence, "We're just a few travelers, looking for something that can save your world; yadda, yadda, yadda…"

"Save our world?" Talim repeated, "What do you mean?"

The five people soon explained why they were here; about the Keyhole and the Heartless, and also introduced themselves to Dexter and Talim. They were Eddy, Rei, Evan, Layla and Violet (AN: As if you didn't figure it out already! XD)

"Whoa…"both Dexter and Talim muttered as Dexter then thought, 'I sure hope Mandark doesn't hear about this…'

-J-I-N-X-E-D-!-

Meanwhile, in another secret laboratory, we can see a tall, preteen boy with black hair that was in the shape of a bowl cut. He was currently working on something that could, or could not; destroy Dexter's, his rival, lab. Just the very thought of his new mecha-outfit smashing into Dexter's computers made him feel overjoyed.

"There, all done," the boy said as he screwed in the last screw in with the screwdriver, "I'm finally done!"

He then placed his arms and legs inside the arm and legs parts of his new mecha-outfit, "With this new mecha-power suit, I can finally get rid of Dexter's lab!"

He then made his horrific, idiotic evil laugh (AN: Which I will try to attempt to type now… wish me luck)…

"Hahaha, HahaHaHaha!"

(AN: … I fail. DX)

"Good lord! You have an annoying laugh, Mandark."

"Huh?" the boy named Mandark as he turned towards a dark corner of his lab, where he saw a dark, teen figure stood in the shadows, "Who's there?"

"There's no reason to be alarmed," said the figure as he stepped out of the shadow of Mandark's lab; it was Russo, smirking a little as he stepped out, "I'm here to help you."

"Uhh, help me with what?"

"… To get rid of Dexter's lab, duh," Russo replied, "I can help you make it reality."

"Really?" Mandark said sarcastically as he crossed his arms with a bit of reluctance, which also made his mecha-outfit go into the same position, since he was wearing it, "How so?"

Russo made a little cough as he started to explain, "Have you heard of a girl named Talim?"

"Talim?" Mandark questioned, "Yeah, she's Dexter's friend; why?"

Russo seemed to smack himself on the head in disbelief; for and evil genius, he sure was dense about feelings, "I'm trying to point out to you about kidnapping her, idiot!"

"… Oh!" The light bulb went off in Mandark's huge head, "You mean like a ransom for him to destroy his lab?"

"Exactly," Russo said with a nod of his head.

Mandark didn't even take half a second to come up with his decision, "Sure, I'm game!" he said as he then got out of his mecha-outfit that he was in.

"Great," Russo stated with a smirk as he then puts out his right hand, "Let's shake hands on our deal."

Mandark soon reached out and shook Russo's hand. But as he grasped onto the Russo's hand, a feeling of vertigo suddenly washed over his body as he saw something appear on his right hand; an sigma of a heart with an 'X' mark on the inside.

"Hey, what with the funky mark?" Mandark asked as he examined the mark on the top of his right hand.

"That is the sigma of the Heartless," the Russo explained, "And with the power of darkness that you now possess, you can have revenge on those you wish to take care of…"

Chapter 25: Eddy-World III-Minneapolis, Minnesota-Part II

(Back in Chapter 24…)

Mandark didn't even take half a second to come up with his decision, "Sure, I'm game!" he said as he then got out of his mecha-outfit that he was in.

"Great," Russo stated with a smirk as he then puts out his right hand, "Let's shake hands on our deal."

Mandark soon reached out and shook Russo's hand. But as he grasped onto the Russo's hand, a feeling of vertigo suddenly washed over his body as he saw something appear on his right hand; an sigma of a heart with an 'X' mark on the inside.

"Hey, what with the funky mark?" Mandark asked as he examined the mark on the top of his right hand.

"That is the sigma of the Heartless," Russo explained, "And with the power of darkness that you now possess, you can have revenge on those you wish to take care of…"

(And now, onto Chapter 25…)

It was now six o' clock in the morning here in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We soon came back upon Dexter's house, where we see four of our five heroes sleeping in his lab. They were sleeping on anything that would be considered something suitable to sleep on (AN: Use your imagination here… 8P). A few minutes later, Eddy and Rei started to wake up.

Eddy yawned and stretched out his arms a little as he glanced over at Rei, who just rubbed the sand out of her eyes, "You up, Rei?" he asked.

"Yeah," Rei replied with a yawn of her own.

The two of them soon glanced at where there future daughter was sleeping when they fell asleep… only to see that she was not there.

Eddy and Rei widened their eyes in a frightened way, "Violet?" they questioned with slight panic as they looked around in their area, only to fail in finding her that way.

Crash! Something metal seemed to hit the floor very hard, which caught Eddy and Rei's attention. The noise also woke up Evan and Layla up in a startling sense, "What was that?" questioned Layla as she and everyone got up into a standing position.

"Dee-Dee! Stop destroying my laboratory!" they could hear Dexter yell out from not too far away.

Soon the four heroes come up to what was the source of the trouble; a tall, blond girl with two pigtails on the sides of her head seemed to be prancing around in the lab. She soon stopped to ask, "How's that?"

"That was really good, Dee-Dee," answered Violet's voice as she came out from behind a couple of stacked boxes, "But I think you need a wider space to do that kind of performance."

"Ohh…" the girl named Dee-Dee stated, "I've never thought about that before," she stated again, "But I always like to dance down here; it clears my mind up on all my troubles!"

Violet made an understanding nod, "I can understand that; whenever I dance, I always want it to be in a comfortable place to me."

"What?" questioned almost everyone, "You dance too?" asked Dexter with a slight bit of horror; he was hoping that she wasn't another Dee-Dee-like person.

"Yeah, I love to dance," Violet replied as she turned her head to Eddy and Rei, "I can do any kind of dance, thanks to some classes that my Mom and Dad took me too."

"Oooo, really?" questioned Dee-Dee, "Can you teach me some other moves?"

"Why sure," Violet said with a smile, "But why don't we go outside to do it; the lab seems to be too crowded."

"Okay!" Dee-Dee chirped as the two of them walked off to the elevator exit of the lab.

Everyone stood there for a moment before Dexter made a sigh, "Great, now I have to straighten up what my stupid sister toppled over."

"Oh, so that's your sister?" Rei started to say, "She seems a bit energetic."

"Yeah, she has always been that way," Dexter replied as he started to lift up a piece of equipment that was, luckily, not destroyed, "We're nothing alike."

Dexter then thought about something when he finished lifting the equipment, "Why don't you all go upstairs and get some breakfast."

"But what about your parents?" Evan stated, "What would we say to them if they saw us?"

"Don't worry about it," Dexter answered back, "My mom went to the grocery store to pick up a few things and my dad went to work a while ago; so there's no one home upstairs."

"That's good to hear," Eddy said, "I'm gettin' hungry now."

Rei made a little sigh at his behavior as the five of them soon went to the elevator and were transported to Dexter's room. They soon went out the room, walked down the hallway and down the stairs to the kitchen to find something to eat.

~~~

Meanwhile, outside in Dexter's backyard, Violet was showing Dee-Dee some moves on how to dance in a traditional Japanese way (AN: On which technique? I have no idea… don't ask me; I'm not a dancing expert!). While they were doing that, they were being watched by a figure from a slightly far away distance; it was Mandark, who was watching them with a pair of binoculars from his house.

"Oh, I see that Dee-Dee is practicing something new!" Mandark said with a wide, goofy smile on his face, "But… who is that with her?" he zoomed in with his binoculars to look at Violet. He started to blush as he thought,'Someone… that is more beautiful than Dee-Dee?'

"The girl with her is someone that needs to be dealt with," said a voice from behind Mandark as Mandark turned around to see Russo standing behind him, "She is the daughter of the one's against me and the Heartless."

"Oh… so she's the enemy?"

"That's right," Russo said with a nod of his head, "I want her to be taken care of, along with the others and your enemy. Do it when they least expect it."

"… You mean now?"

"Yes I mean now!"

~~~

Meanwhile, on the other side of the street, we could see Talim walking out of her house and heading across the street towards Dexter's house. She was almost to the house when…

"Excuse me," said a voice from behind her as Talim turned around to see a girl behind her. She seemed to be about the age of ten. She had medium length, chestnut brown hair and bright, violet colored eyes. She was wearing a lime green t-shirt with a long sleeved white undershirt, lavender-tinted cargo pants that went to her knees, and green and white tennis shoes, "Can you tell me where I can find a boy named Dexter? I think he lives in this neighborhood."

Talim seemed a bit surprised, "He lives here in the house in front of me," she replied, "Why are you looking for him?"

"I'm looking for a few people," the girl answered back, "I just know they are there with him."

"…Oh! You must mean the people he found yesterday," Talim concluded aloud.

The girl nodded her head.

"Yeah, I think they're still with him," Talim said, "I'm about to head over to there, so why don't you come to?"

"Alright," the girl said with another nod of her head as the two of them continued to walk over to Dexter's house. Too bad that they wouldn't even make it to Dexter's door.

"Hello Talim," said a voice from behind the two girls as they turned around to see…

Chapter 26: Eddy-World III-Minneapolis, Minnesota-Part III

(Back in Chapter 25…)

Talim seemed a bit surprised, "He lives here in the house in front of me," she replied, "Why are you looking for him?"

"I'm looking for a few people," the girl answered back, "I just know they are there with him."

"…Oh! You must mean the people he found yesterday," Talim concluded aloud.

The girl nodded her head.

"Yeah, I think they're still with him," Talim said, "I'm about to head over to there, so why don't you come to?"

"Alright," the girl said with another nod of her head as the two of them continued to walk over to Dexter's house. Too bad that they wouldn't even make it to Dexter's door.

"Hello Talim," said a voice from behind the two girls as they turned around to see…

(And now, onto Chapter 26… Good lord, 26?)

Meanwhile, back in Dexter's kitchen, everyone was trying to find something to eat until they heard a scream from Dexter's front yard. Dexter widened his eyes at who screamed, "That was Talim!"

Soon Dee-Dee and Violet come into the kitchen, only to see the other five go to the front door, which they soon follow suit. And when the seven of them went out into the front yard, they saw a ten year old girl dressed as a Sailor Senshi in a lime green color pattern. She was faced in a battle position in front of someone in a mecha-suit…

"Mandark!" Dexter shouted aloud.

"Ah ha! So you have come now, Dexter!" Mandark said as he then turned to the people with him, "I see you've made new friends! More fun for me to show off what I can do!"

Soon a figure appeared in a darkness made coffin-like box that was floating above in between the space of Mandark and the heroes. Dexter gasped at who was in the darkness made prison, "Talim!"

Indeed it was her, standing, yet lying in the coffin-like box up in the sky. Talim looked to be asleep as well. It was Evan who soon noticed a mark on Mandark's right hand; he narrowed his eyes at what it was, "You've joined the Heartless too?"

"Heh, that's right!" Mandark stated with a slightly evil smirk, "And now, with this newfound power, I can finally destroy Dexter's Laboratory!" he then started to laugh… Here we go again, "Hahaha, HahaHaHaha!"

"Grr…" Dexter growled slightly as he then turned to the others, "Can you guys distract him? I need to get something from my lab."

"Yeah, we'll try!" Layla replied with a nod as she got out her Heartblade into a battling position. Everyone soon got into their battle positions as Dexter ran off to find what he was looking for in his lab.

"So, who would like to take me on first?" Mandark asked with a hand movement that said 'bring it on'.

"I'll take you on," Rei said as she stepped forward; she was now dressed as Sailor Mars.

"I will too," Eddy butted in as he came up beside Mars, "Can't let ya do it alone, ya know?" he then turned to Violet, who was now dressed as Sailor Ares, "Stay here for a moment."

Ares made a pout face; she wanted to help out… but her future dad was right. So, she only nodded her head.

Soon Mars and Eddy stepped up to the mecha-dressed Mandark and got into a battle position. This was going to be a tough one to convince to turn over back into the light…

~~~

Meanwhile, back with Dexter (AN: Aww, I still hate it when that happens! D:), Dexter entered his lab and went straight towards his weaponry part of the lab. It was here where we could see his latest creation; a device that can defrag or decompose things when thrown at and/or attach to anything, especially computers.

'I gotta get back to the others,' Dexter soon thought as he soon ran back to his elevator…

~~~

Meanwhile, back outside with the others, Eddy and Mars were now on their knees in exhaustion; both of them trying to catch their breath. Mandark's mecha suit was very strong; each of the attacks that he made to them, they both had to dodge and be defensive.

"Heh, are you becoming weak now?" questioned Mandark, "How ridiculous."

Suddenly, Eddy and Mars heard screams behind them as they, and even Mandark, widened their eyes with surprise; it was Ares and Dee-Dee's screams. The three turned their attention back to everyone else as they saw someone holding both Sailor Ares and Dee-Dee up by their arms; they were both being held up high in the air by…

"Russo!" growled Eddy and Mars as Mandark turned pale at this turn of events. The others on the ground (AN: Which were Evan, Layla and the mysterious Sailor Senshi in the lime green color pattern… kay?) were all trying to get under Russo; just in case if he were going to drop Ares and Dee-Dee to them.

"Let us go, whoever you are!" yelped out Ares as Dee-Dee whimpered a little in fright.

"Heh, I'll let you go; after Mandark finishes off your mom and dad for me," Russo replied with a chuckle, "That way, you'll never be born in the first place."

By parental instincts, Eddy and Mars started to run over to help Ares and Dee-Dee. But when Russo saw this, he made a sinister smirk towards them as he then let goes of the two girls.

"Violet!" both Eddy and Mars cried as they saw their daughter and Dee-Dee falling to the ground; both of them screaming in fright.

But before they could both hit the ground, Mandark caught both Ares and Dee-Dee in midair; he used the rockets underneath his metal-shoed feet to fly over and catch them.

"Mandark!" barked Russo as Mandark landed his feet back down onto the ground and placed the girls back onto their feet, "What the heck did you do that for?"

"You said you weren't going to hurt Dee-Dee," Mandark stated with anger and a bit of sadness in his voice, "But you just tried to hurt her and her friend… You broke the promise, so the deals off! I won't work for you!"

Russo made a little growl in annoyance, "Fine, I really didn't need you anyway," he then turned to Talim, who was still in the darkness-made coffin box floating in the sky (AN: We almost forgot about her, didn't we?), "At least I can gain another member."

"Oh no you won't!" shouted out a voice as everyone turned to the voice. It was Dexter; he was under Talim and her darkness-made prison.

Dexter also held something in his hand, which he then threw up into the air towards the dark coffin above him. The device soon clashed with the box as it then stuck to the box. While the device was stuck to the bottom, the box started to disappear; as if it was being broken down. The box soon disappeared completely as the device came back down to Dexter, along with Talim. Dexter soon caught his device in his hand while he caught Talim in his arms. As a result of catching Talim, Dexter sort of collapsed from all of the weight, making a little groaning sound afterwards.

Russo growled in anger at the situation, "Grr, I'll see that you're all dealt with next time," he said before he disappeared into a portal of darkness in the sky…

There was a moment of silence as everyone turned to Dexter and Talim, who was starting to come to from being asleep, "What…?"

"You alright, Talim?" Dexter asked.

"Y-Yeah, I am…" Talim replied as she and Dexter both got up and turned towards everyone else; they were all talking one another about different things…let's check out some of the conversations, shall we?

~~~

"Thanks for saving me and Violet!" Dee-Dee chirped to Mandark in a happy tone, "We would have probably gone ka-splat if you didn't show up!"

"Y-Yeah, no problem," Mandark replied as he scratched the back of his head, which his mecha suit simulated as well; since he was still in it. He also had a bit of a blush on his face.

~~~

Meanwhile, back with the others (AN: Which were Eddy, Mars, Ares Evan and Layla, kay?), they all turned to the ten year old with brown hair, "Who are you?" Evan asked.

"And why were you dressed like a Senshi?" questioned Layla.

Violet seemed to giggle at their questions, "Uncle Evan; this is-"

"Violet, I can introduce myself," stated the ten year old as she turned back to Evan… and Layla, "My name is Faye Wendell; Princess of Eris," she then made a smile, "I'm the daughter of Evan and Layla Wendell."

"…" there was a bit of silence before…

"What?" Evan and Layla yelped out as Eddy and Rei made surprised faces.

Eddy then cracked a grin to his big brother, "Ha; wouldn't have guessed that till now."

Rei, on the other hand, was pondering about something, "… You're a Sailor Senshi like Violet, right?"

"Yes," Faye said with a nod of her head, "My mom is Sailor Eris," she explained, "I also remember hearing that she never figured out her past until she started to like my dad."

Layla was a little silent before she stated, "Y-You mean me, don't you…?"

Faye nodded her head again, "That's right."

"…" Evan was a little silent too, "… I thought you were familiar," he stated as everyone turned to him with an arched eyebrow, "If what Faye says is true, then you must have had a past in the Silver Millennium," he paused for a moment before saying, "I remember a Princess Layla that used to visit the Mars Kingdom a lot… The Princess of Eris," he then turned to Layla, "… It must have been you."

That's when Layla widened her eyes with shock, as if she had remembered something, "Wait; there's something coming back to me…" she paused for a moment to try to think about something, "… I remember, when we first met in Kingston Village, you asked if I lived in a Cul-De-Sac," she made another slight pause, "… You were the boy that was watching that meteor shower with me, weren't you?"

Even made a surprised face, but only nodded his head, "Yeah, I was."

"…"

Okay, enough of the talk now, Uncle Evan," Violet stated to him as everyone turned to her, "We have to find a Keyhole, remember?"

"Right," Rei said as Eddy made a nod of his head.

"Did you just say something about a Keyhole?" questioned Mandark as he, Dexter, Talim and Dee-Dee came over to them, "I think Russo said something about that."

Evan narrowed his eyes a little, "What did he say?"

"He said that it was in Dexter's Lab," Mandark replied, "I guess that's why he got me to try to get rid of it."

"Great!" chirped Violet while Faye made a confused face at her cousin; what was a Keyhole? "Let's go seal it!"

~~~

After they went to Dexter's Lab and sealed it (AN: It was in his computer…) and received a summon gem for both Eddy and Layla (AN: Eddy's gem was a red, gold and black-colored gem…While Layla's gem was purple, pink, red and white... Start guessing!), they soon said goodbye to Dexter, Dee-Dee, Talim and Mandark as they then went back to where they left their Looney Ship. They soon left the world afterwards…

Chapter 27: Eddy-World I, Revisit II

It was a somewhat peaceful day here in Kingston Village as we see Eddy, Rei Evan, Layla, Bugs, Daffy, Lola, Violet and Faye get off the Loony ship and walk out onto the cobbled stone ground of the big, yet little village.

"Phew! It's finally good to get out of that dumb ship!" Daffy yelped with joy as he then made an evil eye towards the non-Looney's, "Next time we go to another world, we're getting out with you."

"Fine," Evan replied to the duck as he soon glanced up ahead down a street.

"Let's go see Eiko now and revive these gems," Layla stated.

Everyone nodded their heads as they walked down the street to the little HQ of the village. It was about five minutes later that they arrived to their designated location. Outside the house, you could see the twins Terri and Naomi having a conversation with the Amazon Quartet (AN: Whom you've probably forgotten about since Chapter 8… Ha!). They were all too occupied with the conversation that they didn't even notice the others. So, they just decided to go one ahead inside.

They saw Locke, Zidane and Eiko sitting around talking to each other. They soon noticed the people who came in, "Ah, looks whose back from playing hero," Zidane stated with a friendly smirk, "Got another summon gem for Eiko?"

"Uh-huh," Eddy stated with a nod as he and Layla came up, "Me and Layla both got one."

"Hmm… a bonus one, eh?" Eiko stated as she got up from where she sat and walked towards the door, "Let's get them out the gem."

Soon Eiko and all of the party members were outside as Eddy handed Eiko his summon gem.

"Hmm…" Eiko muttered as she held it for a couple of seconds before she handed it back to Eddy, "The person's name is Edward Elric. I bet you know what to do next."

"Mmm-hmm," Eddy muttered as he summons out his Novablade. He then held the gem in the air, "Edward Elric!"

Suddenly, a flash of light bursts out from the stone as a ray of light lands on the ground beside Eddy. Then the light started to get bigger and started to form into a shape. And when the light show was over, there stood a person with his eyes closed. It was a short, sixteen year old teen boy with short, golden blond hair with a short ponytail in the back. He was wearing a black t-shirt underneath a mid-length, red trench coat, long, black pants, a pair of black boots and a pair of white gloves.

The teen soon started to open his eyes; they were golden, yellow eyes…almost the colors of a Heartless's eyes. He blinked a couple of times and looked at the crowd of people with him and his surroundings before…

"… What the hell?" he exclaimed as he looked around even more, "This isn't Central Station!"

He then looked back around to notice something else, "Al! Where are you?" he yelled aloud, "You better not be trying to find a stray cat;you're not keeping it if you do!"

"…"

It was then that the teen turned to the others and said, "What are youlooking at?"

Soon everyone explains to the teen what was going on, "What? You gotta be joking!"

"Nope, everything we said was true," Eddy stated back, "So, tell us your name, so I can call you out and stuff."

"Err…" the teen slightly growled, "The name's Edward Elric; the Fullmetal Alchemist."

"Alchemist?"

"Yeah," Edward replied with a nod of his head, "I'll show you what I can do when you do your special alchemy."

"It's not alchemy; its magic," Rei stated.

Edward could only laugh, "Magic; ha! That's a new - Hey!"

Soon Eddy summoned him back into the gem as Edward disappeared, "Sorry 'bout that; no time to waste talking."

"… It's your turn Layla," Eiko stated as Layla came to her and handed Eiko her gem stone. After she said the summoning name, Layla summons out her Heartblade as she then held the gem in the air, "Vivian!"

Suddenly, a flash of light bursts out from the stone as a ray of light lands on the ground beside Eddy. Then the light started to get bigger and started to form into a shape. And when the light show was over, there stood… something. You could clearly tell the 'thing' was a girl; her body was purple and had no legs, but instead, had a spout connecting her to the ground. You could not see her eyes, which were covered up by her long, pink hair bangs. The only facial feature she had was a mouth. She also wore a red and white striped hat that looked like a witch's hat. She also had white gloves on her hands (AN: I think that's right…).

She then looked around to see her surroundings, "Where am I…?" she questioned as she looked around, "This does not look like…?" she then noticed the others there; she gasped with surprise, "Humans like Mario…?"

They soon explain to her what was going on, "Oh… I see…" she made a sigh.

"Hey, what exactly are you?" questioned Eddy as Rei slightly shoved him in the side, "Ouch, I was just curious."

"I am a race of creature called 'Shadow'," the girl replied, "Anyway, my name is Vivian."

"It's very nice to meet you, Vivian," Layla replied as Vivian went back into her gem.

"Okay can we get going now?" questioned Lola as everyone turned to her, "We got other worlds to save."

Everyone nodded their heads as they waved goodbye to Eiko and walked all the way back to the space dock. After re-supplying themselves with supplies, they got back on the Looney Ship and took off to another world…

Chapter 28: Double D-World IV-Incan Peru-Part I

It was a somewhat bright, sunny day here in the grassy countryside hills of the Incan empire as we come up to the edge of the green hills where it meets the jungle of the area. It is here where we see something strange begin to happen; there was a bright flash of sudden light. And when the light disappeared, there stood Double D, Ami, Yuki, Donald and Goofy. The others (AN: Who were Mickey, Usagi, Mamoru, Chibiusa and Count Duckula) stayed behind up in the gummi ship in the space above the world.

"Hey Duckula," stated Double D into a little microphone in his watch on his left wrist, "Is that camera working alright with us down here?"

"Yep, I can see everything you're looking at!" replied Duckula's voice back from the wrist watch.

"We'll tell you if we see anything interesting, alright?" Mickey's voice stated.

"Okie dokie, King Mickey!" replied Goofy as he and the others looked at their surroundings.

The five heroes soon noticed a sort of peasant-like village on one of the many hills near them, "Maybe we can find help there," stated Yuki as the others only nodded their heads at her suggestion.

It took about ten minutes to arrive to their location. It was a very quiet little village, peaceful in every way that you could imagine… That is, until there were a few ringing sounds in the background of the village.

"Huh?" the five foreigners questioned aloud, "That sounded like…"Goofy started to say.

"… Wedding bells?" finished off Donald.

"Let's go and see," Ami stated as everyone nodded their heads and went off to where the sound was being rung.

Soon they come upon a place in the hills where there was a wedding-like atmosphere around them; but it looked a bit unusual for a wedding. For one thing, there were several things not associated with the time period of the Incan-like surroundings; it was like they had stepped into an anachronistic world. (AN: Anachronistic mean "Things that are out of place in their time…"which is pretty much everything in this world! XD)

"Wow, this is strange," Yuki stated as she looked up to her mom and dad, "It's a wedding like in your pictures, but set in a time period like this…"

Both Double D and Ami blushed lightly at what she said, "Y-Yeah…" Double D muttered as Ami only blushed a bit more.

"Okay, seems that the wedding bells are working fine," stated a voice nearby as everyone turned to see a man writing stuff down on a pad of paper with a No.2 pencil. He was dressed in some kind of servant outfit with the color scheme of purple and yellow, "That just leaves us with, uhh…" he then looked up to see five strangers, "… Oh, right! I forgot about the seating arrangements!" he then rushed off to somewhere else.

"…That was weird," Donald stated.

"Eh, I don't blame ya for thinking that way," stated another voice from out of the blue as everyone turned to see someone that was dressed in red and yellow. To Double D and Ami's knowledge, he was dressed up like some kind of royalty, "Kronk's always been that way about thing," the person stated again as he then examined the group of five heroes more closely, "And who might you be? I haven't seen you around these parts of my empire."

Soon the group of five introduce themselves until one of them asked, "Who's the wedding suppose to be for?" Goofy asked.

The young man seemed a bit surprised to hear the question, but answered it, nevertheless, "It's the wedding of the great Emperor Kuzco…" he then points towards himself with his right thumb, "Who just so happens to be myself."

"Oh, well, congratulations on getting married," Double D stated.

"Thanks," Kuzco thanked with a nod of his head.

"Hey, Kuzco," stated a voice from behind Kuzco as everyone turned to see a slightly bulked man in a green poncho coming up to them, "I need to know where I can find…" he then paused when he saw the five other people Kuzco was with, "Who are these people?"

"Oh, uh, this is Double D, Ami, Yuki, Donald and Goofy," Kuzco introduced to the man as he then turned to the five heroes, "This is Pacha, my best man."

"Aw, you don't really have to say that, your majesty," Pacha replied to him.

"Well, technically, you are the best man at the wedding, so I can call you that," Kuzco replied back. He then starts to walk off towards his dressing room, "The wedding is in about an hour, so I'm going to get dressed now. See you all then!"

Pacha made a sigh, "He's starting to become too carefree…"

"Pacha?" questioned a feminine voice behind him as everyone turned to see a beautiful woman coming towards them dressed in some kind of royal clothing, "Do you know where Kuzco is? I need to speak to him about something…"

"Yolani, you know that you can't see him until the wedding starts," Pacha stated.

The woman named Yolani made a worried face, "But I…"

"Hey Pacha!" called a voice in the distance behind them, "We need your help putting something up. Can you come here for a sec?"

"Sure I will," Pacha replied to the voice as he turned to Yolani and the five heroes, "Excuse me for a moment," he then walked off to where the voice called from.

Yolani made a sad sigh, 'I hope something bad doesn't happen now…'

"Excuse me, Ms. Yolani?" questioned Double D as Yolani turned to him, "Do you need help with anything?"

"Well…" Yolani started to say, "I had a dream last night that something was going to happen to the wedding; something awful…" she made a saddened face, "A-And I need to talk to Kuzco about it; because he was in the dream."

"… Can you tell us what the dream was about?" Ami asked as Yolani looked at her, "It would, umm, help it to get it off your chest if you say what's bothering you to someone."

"… The dream starts off peaceful, with me onto of one of these hills at night," Yolani started to explain, "But then I feel something behind me; and it was Kuzco. But…" she started to tear up a little as she continued, "He was being swallowed by the shadows of the land. I tried to save him but… he disappeared in the shadows in the ground…"

The five where silent to what she explained; to Double D, it sounded a whole lot like someone being…

Double D widened his eyes as he made a gasp, which got everyone's attention, "What is it?" asked Ami.

"W-What if it's him being targeted by the Heartless?" Double D questioned aloud to everyone.

The four other gasped at the thought, "That mean we got to get to him; now!" Yuki stated.

Soon the five heroes dashed off to Emperor Kuzco, with Yolani right behind them, confused at what was going on. But she had a feeling that whatever was going on… the situation was going to be bad.

~~~

Meanwhile, back with Kuzco, he was getting dressed by himself in his room, putting on everything nice and neatly. It was a shame that he wasn't aware of the other presence in the room…

"Hello Emperor Kuzco," stated a foreign voice from out of nowhere as Kuzco jumped a little at the voice and turned around to see who said what, "It is really a pleasure to meet you."

Soon a figure appears from a portal from the ground up; it was a fifteen year old boy with bright, sunny blond hair and dark, almost black navy blue eyes. He wore a type of uniform that was similar to what Russo would wear…

"Who are you?" questioned Kuzco with a bit of a demand in his voice.

The blond haired teen only laughed at the emperor's question, "I am… here to make you a servant of mine!"

Chapter 29: Double D-World IV-Incan Peru-Part II

(Back in Chapter 28…)

"Hello Emperor Kuzco," stated a foreign voice from out of nowhere as Kuzco jumped a little at the voice and turned around to see who said what, "It is really a pleasure to meet you."

Soon a figure appears from a portal from the ground up; it was a fifteen year old boy with bright, sunny blond hair and dark, almost black navy blue eyes. He wore a type of uniform that was similar to what Russo would wear…

"Who are you?" questioned Kuzco with a bit of a demand in his voice.

The blond haired teen only laughed at the emperor's question, "I am… here to make you a servant of mine!"

(And now, onto Chapter 29…)

It was no later than fifteen seconds later that the five heroes and Yolani barged into the Kuzco's room… only to see him nowhere around.

"Kuzco?" Yolani questioned with worriment in her voice as she turned to the five strangers, "W-Where is he…?"

"Why he's out here, in the sunshine," stated a voice from behind them as everyone went back outside where the voice was heard from. Ami and Yuki take out their henshin wands while Doanld and Goofy got out their staff and shield and Double D summons his Starblade.

Soon the owner of the voice appears before them; it was the teen from before. Double D and Ami slightly widened their eyes at his appearance; he looked a bit like Double D! "Who are you?" questioned Yuki.

"My name is Blake Johnson," stated the teen as he looked directly at Double D, "I have a score to settle with you."

That's when Double D turned pale in the face at his name as he lowered his Starblade, 'I-It can't be…!'

"…Double D?" questioned Ami as she noticed him turn even paler in the face, backing away from the teen in shock, "W-What's-"

"B-Blake…?"Double D muttered with a gasp of stunned shock, "Y-You're…?"

"Yes, I'm alive," responded the teen named Blake.

"B-But how?" shouted Double D, a few tears of emotion coming out of his eyes, "H-How did you survive? We all thought…"

"I was rescued by a witch named Maleficent; she was the one who took me in," Blake explained as he closed his eyes with a thought, "I would have been burned to death if she hadn't rescued me."

"Maleficent?" shouted both Donald and Goofy with shock, "That mean you're with the Heartless!" stated Donald.

"Maybe so," Blake stated with a bit of an irritated sigh, "But I prefer them as people that I can stay with and have a roof to live under."

He then looked back towards Double D and said, "We maybe enemies the next time we meet. But I'll leave you all now."

With that said, Blake then disappeared within a portal of darkness under his feet, leaving behind a still shocked Double D.

Soon another portal of darkness appears where Blake once stood. It was…

"Kuzco?" questioned Yolani as she made a gasp of surprise.

Indeed it was him; unharmed and not possessed, "Okay, what the heck was all that?" questioned Kuzco with a slightly demanding tone.

"Kuzco!" stated everyone as they ran over to him, "Are you alright?" questioned Yolani.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Kuzco replied as he grasped his head a little, "Geez louise, what a freaky voice."

"What freaky voice?" asked Yolani.

"I really can't say," replied Kuzco, "It kept saying something about a Keyhole or something."

The five heroes widened their eyes, "Did it happen to say where it's at?" questioned Yuki.

"… Yeah, I think so," Kuzco stated with a nod of his head, "It's in Pacha's house."

"Great!" Donald cheered as he rushed off to find Pacha's house, but quickly came back and said, "Uh, why don't you lead the way?"

~~~

It was no later than fifteen minutes later that Double D sealed the Keyhole in Pacha's house. And when the Keyhole was sealed, Double D picked up a summon gem; it was a purple gem.

"Well, I think that's it for this world," Double D stated as he turned to Kuzco and Yolani, "I wish you two good luck."

"Thanks," they both responded with a smile.

Soon the five heroes waved goodbye to the couple as they headed back towards the woods where they arrived. They soon went back up into the gummi ship and sped off towards Transverse Town…

Chapter 30: Double D-World I-Revisit III

It was a somewhat peaceful night here in Transverse Town as we see Double D, Ami, Yuki, Usagi, Mamoru, Chibiusa, Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Duckula get off the Gummi ship and walk out onto the bricked stone ground of the town.

"So, we're going to go visit this lady named Terra?" Yuki asked.

"Yes, so she can give us the summon gem's name," replied Ami.

They all walked to the stairs leading up to the Second District. Of course, Duckula decide to pay Rolf a visit again to buy some of his broccoli. They soon made their way to the Hotel in the Second District. Inside the blue room, they saw Terra sitting there on the couch, reading a book.

Terra then looked up to see the nine heroes standing there in front of her, "So, I suspect that you have brought another summon gem?"

"Yes Terra," replied Double D as he and the others soon went outside the hotel.

Double D soon handed her the purple gem. Terra held it in her hands for a moment before telling him the summoning name for the gem. Soon Double D summons out his Starblade as he held the purple gem in his other hand, "Lucca!"

Suddenly, a flash of light bursts out from the stone as a ray of light lands on the ground beside Double D. Then the light started to get bigger and started to form into a shape. And when the light show was over, there stood a person with his eyes closed. It was a girl, around the same age as him and Ami, with short dark red-magenta hair that was under a huge, gold helmet and a pair of thick, round glasses that were almost bigger than her face. She wore a strange arrangement in her outfit, with the colors gold, brown, green, red and purple. She also had some kind of laser gun by her right hip that was attached to her leather tool belt around her waist and hips. She also wore a pair of brown, leather boots.

She then opened her eyes, revealing bright, red-brown eyes, "… Where am I…?" she started to question as she looked at her surroundings, and then towards the people that she noticed she was with, "And who are you…?"

Soon the others with her explained what was going on with the worlds and why she was here, "Oh, I think I see… I think," the girl replied as she rubbed the back of her head a little, "I guess I can help out…"

"So, may I ask you for your name?" Double D asked.

"… Oh! My name is Lucca; I'm an inventor from where I'm from," the girl replied to him with a bit of a sheepish laugh, "I am also a master of Fire magic."

"Great, thank you," Double D replied as he then called her back into her gem, making her disappear as she did.

"Well, that's that for this meeting," Mickey stated as everyone turned back to the mouse king, "Let's get back to the Gummi Ship now."

The others could only nod their heads as they made their way back towards the First District, where they met back up with Duckula. Soon the group of ten went back to their gummi ship and sped off towards another world…

Note to Matfix: The next Ed to visit a world is Ed, and his world to visit is Toon Town from Roger Rabbit… Thought you should know. Also, I'll send another file of all of the characters I have put (and who I wanted to put next) in the story thus far. You'll find more information there than in here on where to continue… XD
