Ilixm: Sup! Geez... These updates really are spontaneous. I dunno. It's like I have an idea, then I don't. It's frikin' killing me!

Beast Boy: God. It's so hard to be you. Ya know. School and all that.

Ilixm: Shut up. Robin?

Robin: This is a disclaimer. Ilixm here only owns the plot. *mutters* A crappy one at that.

Ilixm: Yes. Thank you. Now... shall we begin?

7. Onwards!

*~(Mysterious Tower)~*

Beast Boy panted as he slowly (but surely) climbed the multitude of stairs leading to the top of the tower.

"Duuuuude! How many more freaking stairs are we gonna hafta climb?"

Raven sighed as Sora began giving the changeling encouragements like, "It's not that far!" and, "Almost there!" Robin was extremely pissed due to the fact that his training exercises didn't seem to make a dent in Beast Boy's laziness. To Raven's chagrin, said teammate kept on whining and complaining. After what seemed to be hours, the group finally reached the top, Riku exclaiming, "Thank Kingdom Hearts!" That earned him a few nasty glares, totally ignored of course.

Kairi rolled her eyes, pushing past the testosterone-filled crowd. Opening the door, she silently gestured for her fellow female comrades, Raven and Starfire carefully slipping through the crowd, unnoticed by the boys. Their mission was compromised, however, when Cyborg heard the click of a door lock and two pairs of giggles.

"Uh, guys?" Sadly, the others were too busy getting into a staring contest. Finally fed up, Cyborg yelled, "GUYS!"

This luckily got all the boys' attention and allowed them to notice the absence of their female companions.

Beast Boy scratched his head. "Hey... Where did the girls go?"

Robin, being the detective he was, tested the doorknob, finding it was locked. "Hmmmm. I think they went through here and locked the door..."

Sora chuckled and summoned his keyblade saying, "Psh. This baby can open anything and everything." Pointing the Kingdom Key towards the door, a beam of light shot out of it, causing the door to violently swing open and bang noisily against the adjacent wall. Seven shocked heads swiveled around, curious to see what has caused all the ruckus.

Seeing who some of these faces belonged to, Sora quickly dashed behind Riku and pushed him forwards.

"Ah... The young keybearer and master has finally returned." Yen Sid paused and said, "What's this? New visitors, I see. Come in. I've been expecting you."

The group slowly and nervously approached the long table, relaxing a little seeing as the girls were safely standing by the Disney trio-Donald, Goofy, and King Mickey.

Beast Boy nervously grinned. "Heh. Hey guys..."

~(*)~

Yen Sid grimly looked at all of the young adults. "It has come to my attention that the Heartless rate has risen in the worlds. More so than what I have ever expected."

Mickey stepped forward and cleared his throat saying, "I've also noticed a weird prickle on my neck when I'm alone... Like something's watchin' me..."

Riku grimly said, "Same here. Well, at least for those two." He gestured in Beast Boy and Raven's general direction.

The king looked at the two new people and asked, "How do you notice this?"

Raven slowly deadpanned, "Beast Boy has animal senses and I have... special dark powers. I suspect that the presence in only obvious to some. Like people with heightened senses."

"Hmmmm..." Goofy said, "If all the worlds are in trouble, I think we should go and help 'em! Like... uh... usin' the Gummi Ship to hop ta other worlds an' keepin' the Heartless population in check!"

Donald nodded his head excitedly, agreeing with his clumsy friend. "Yeah! Let's go and kick some Heartless butt!"

Just before the whole group rampaged out of the room, Mickey yelled, "Wait!"

The small mob screeched to a stop and did a one-eighty.

Mickey chuckled. "Hehheh. Sorry for stopping y'all, but I think it's best if y'guys stop by Disney Castle to prepare for your mission! I can tell that lots of y'all don't even own weapons!"

Beast Boy's eyes shone. "You really mean it?"

Mickey happily nodded.

"Awwwww sweet! I always wanted to meet Disney people!"

Raven hid a hint of a smile as she led the newly expanded group down the stairs.

*~(*)~*

Ilixm: Haaaaaa... Sorry for being so late. Writer's block, extracurricular activities, school work, and sports definitely don't mix. And I know there's no mushy gushy love stuff yet, but I don't like to put up like five chappies and then throw them into marriage the next one. Sooo...

Beast Boy: Review! I love yo faces!

Ilixm: And special thanks to DarkflowerofTc, Kingdom Link 89, Ocean's Oracion, Princess Unikitty, raven leveau, tmp1114, and . for favoriting and/or following my humble story. Toodles!
