Last time found Sora, Kairi, Donald, Goofy and Luffy hurrying down the decks of The Death Stalker to save Riku, Aiden, Zoro, Nami, Usopp and Sanji. Rakel was in the process of taking her revenge for Reddik out on Riku and Aiden, when Sora and the others were detected. Ursula sent Sojita, Yukaton and Jubei, in that order, to destroy the rescuers. Sora used his Master form, without Donald and Goofy this time, to fight Sojita, while Kairi used her own Drive for the first time to fight Yukaton. Luffy defeated Juebi without any trouble.
Rakel then made her move to take control of Togakuto from Ursula. The sea witch fought back, but both were distracted when Sora and the others arrived, resulting in Togakuto completely losing his mind and becoming an out of control Heartless. 'Nuff said, on with the show!
Chapter 9: Duel of Fate on the Rolling Waves
"Fresh air at last!" exclaimed Nami as our heroes reached the top deck of The Death Stalker.
"I've never been more happy to see open water in my life," said Sanji.
"I never doubted that we'd make it," said Aiden, "but boy, am I glad to be out of that hell hole."
"You said it," said Riku.
"But what now?" Usopp asked, "the baddies are still down there.
"Let's just get off of this terrible ship," said Kairi.
"I agree," said Zoro, "I'll feel much better back on The Going Merry."
"You'll get no arguments from us," said Sora.
"But then what?" Goofy asked.
"We'll sink her," said Luffy, "we'll get back to our ship, fire the cannons and sink The Death Stalker."
"That's probably the smartest thing I've ever heard you say, Luffy," said Nami, "and that's saying something."
Just then Rakel, Konrad, Pete, Kichot, Ursula and the still out of control Togakuto teleported onto the deck. Konrad and Rakel narrowly ducked a wild axe swing from Togakuto.
"I'm starting to question whether or not this was a good idea," said Konrad, "we're in as much danger as the Keyblade brats."
"Not really," said Rakel, "we just need to point Togakuto in the right dirrection." She then use a spell that made Togakuto turn to face Sora, Luffy and the others. He saw them and rushed forward, screaming like the maniac he was.
"This isn't good," said Luffy. He then stretched and dodged an axe swing that would have cut him in half. Togakuto then swung his axe at Sanji, who narrowly jumped out of the way, then swung at Riku and Kairi. They both dodged the attack, but Kairi tripped and fell to the deck. Togakuto raised his axe for a killing blow.
But Sora got in front of Kairi and blocked the axe with his Keyblade. He blocked another axe swing and another, but he was still tired from earlier, so there wasn't much more he could do than defend.
But then Riku and Aiden got in front of Sora, "just hang back, Sora," said Riku, "we'll handle this."
"Leave it to us," said Aiden as he rubbed his wrists, "alright, let's do it!" They both charged at Togakuto and attacked with their Keyblades. The maniac still possessed all his fighting still, greatly enhanced by the Darkness Fruit, so he was able to fend off Riku and Aiden.
"Save a piece for us!" said Zoro as he jumped in and attacked. Again, Togakuto was able to fend off everything Zoro threw at him.
But then Sanji delivered a hard kick to Togakuto's side, while Nami sung her staff at the back of Togakuto's knees, knocking him off balance.
But Togakuto regained his balance easily, with no visible damage to be seen.
"This guy is intense!" said Nami.
"Let's see how he likes this!" said Usopp as he aimed and fired a red slingshot pellet at Togakuto, "Exploding Star!" the red pellet burst into flames on contact, but Togakuto was undamaged.
"No way!" exclaimed Usopp.
"He's tough," said Luffy.
At that Ursula cackled loudly, "you fools! Do you honestly think you stand a chance against the full might of the Darkness Fruit!"
"We'll try," said Riku.
"And we'll keep trying," said Aiden, "until the living end!"
Just then both Riku and Aiden felt rather strange, but good, really good, as if a new power had just woken up in both of them. Riku was surrounded by a bright orange light, while Aiden was surrounded by dark blue light.
"What's happening?" Donald asked.
"I think they now have Drives," said Goofy.
When the light cleared, Riku's outfit had an orange hue and Aiden's was blue. Both of them had a second Keyblade that was the color of their outfits.
"No doubt about it," said Riku as he admire his second Keyblade, "we're getting stronger."
"Then let's do it already!" said a smiling Aiden. The two of them charged at Togakuto, moving much faster than before. They attacked, striking heavy blows that finally damaged the out of control Heartless, while easily avoiding his attacks.
After about a minute or so, the two Drives ended, returning Riku and Aiden to their normal attire and single Keyblades. It also left them seriously drained of energy, but it was worth it as Togakuto was also heavily damaged.
But Togakuto was still in the fight, and so was Konrad and Rakel.
"I think it's time we stepped in and took control, for real," said Rakel.
"You're gonna do it," said a worried Pete, "You're going to merge with that there Heartless!"
"No, don't!" said Kairi as she and Sora finally regained their stamina and helped Riku and Aiden get out of harms way, "don't merge with Togakuto!"
"Ulrik merged with a Heartless," said Sora, "and it killed him!"
"You'll find that we're far superior than that peasant Ulrik!" snapped Konrad, "We can control our energies enough to merge with Heartless without the risk."
"That we do," said Rakel as she eyed Konrad with malicious intent, "or, at least I do," she suddenly grabbed Konrad's arm and began draining him of energy.
"What…what are you doing?" exclaimed Konrad as his power was sucked from his body and into Rakel's.
"If I'm going to merge with Togakuto, said a wickedly grinning Rakel, "then I'm going to need all the help I can get if I wish to get out of this in one piece, so, you have my thanks for the assist," she then let Konrad go, having drained him of as much energy as she could without killing him.
Konrad then fell to the deck in exhaustion, but still had enough strength to shout, "treacherous bitch! I'll destroy you for this!"
"BY the time you're in any condition to do anything," said Rakel, her body pulsating with dark magic, "I'll be at Maleficent's side as the one who finally destroyed The Keyblade Wielders."
She then grabbed Togakuto's arm and she merged into his body. Once she was completely inside of him, Togakuto began changing. He grew four feet taller and sprouted two extra pairs of arms that ended in axe-like blades. Several tentacles that also ended in axe heads emerged from his back, while his face took on a demonic expression.
"Behold!" said Rakel, her voice reverberating from Togakuto's body, "the power of the Hakonians!"
"We've beaten you Hakonians before!" said Sora as he and Kairi summoned their Keyblades.
"And we'll beat you again!" said Kairi.
"And I'll help!" said Luffy.
"I beg to differ!" said Rakel, "for not only do I command Togakuto, I also command The Death Stalker!"
At that the deck began undulating and vibrating. Sora and Kairi nearly lost their balance, but recovered. But then they had to get out of the way as the deck beneath them rose up, stretching and distending and moving about as if it were a tentacle that tried to grab them.
More wooden tentacles sprouted from the deck and tried to grab our heroes, while ropes from the rigging slithered down like snakes and tried to strangle them.
"Let's get out of here!" shouted Usopp.
"Couldn't agree more!" shouted Zoro. Everyone ran for The Going Merry and jumped onto her deck. Zoro cut the lines securing the two ships together as he jumped and The Going Merry began drifting away as our heroes landed.
Everyone then went to work raising the sails and steering the ship away from the enemy. Sora and Donald immediately cast Aero spells that filled the sails and pushed The Going Merry away from The Death Stalker.
But then Luffy noticed something terrible, "My hat! Where is it?"
"There!" shouted Sora as he pointed to The Death Stalker. Luffy's straw had was perched precariously on the railing, right next to another wood tentacle.
Luffy stretched his arm out and grabbed his hat, barely avoiding being caught by the tentacle.
"That's better," said Luffy as he put his had on his head.
"We're not out of the woods yet!" said Nami as she pointed behind them. The Death Stalker was giving chase. The spells on the sails had given The Going Merry a huge lead, but the enemy was catching up with them quickly.
"We're gonna die!" exclaimed Usopp as he franticly ran around in a circle.
"Will you stop saying that!" snapped Riku, "just get a grip and fire the cannons already!"
"Do it!" Luffy ordered.
Usopp ran to the rear cannons, aimed and fired. The cannonballs hit The Death Stalker, but left no damage. The enemy ship was still gaining on them.
"Try this!" said Donald as he cast a spell on several cannonballs. Some of them turned red, others yellow, and others blue. Usopp quickly reloaded and fired two red cannonballs. The shots hit The Death Stalker and delivered Fire damage.
Usopp loaded and shot a pair of blue cannonballs, hitting the enemy ship with Blizzard damage. He then shot a pair of yellow cannonballs, hitting The Death Stalker with Thunder damage.
But the enemy ship kept coming. It aimed its cannons at The Going Merry and fired dark magic at our heroes. Sora and Kairi managed to deflect most of the blasts, while the rest missed completely.
"We're not going to outrun them!" said Aiden as he looked back, "and we're going to run out of cannonballs at this rate before they run out of dark magic!"
"That's it!" said Nami in a manner that said she had a brilant idea, "I know what to do! I'll be right back!" she ran below decks.
"What's gotten into her?" Luffy asked.
"I don't know," said Zoro, "but it can't be good."
The enemy then shot another barrage of dark magic at the ship. By now Riku and Aiden had recovered enough to be able to deflect the blasts that were much more accurate now. But our heroes missed one blast that nearly took Luffy's head off, if he hadn't stretched his head aside.
"That was way too close," said Riku, "we may not be able to block the next blast."
Just then Nami came back outside, carrying a huge red cannonball that had a skull and crossbones painted on it. The really strange part was that the skull and crossbones had a red clown nose.
"I completely forgot I had one of these," said a smiling Nami as she rolled the red cannonball to the real guns.
"Is that what I think it is?" Luffy asked.
"Where did you get it!" an exasperated Zoro asked.
"I stole it from the big-nosed bastards' ship," said Nami.
"But what is it?" Kairi asked.
"This is a Buggy Ball," said Nami, "it's got a lot more punch than a normal cannonball. I think one of these right on the nose of The Death Stalker should do it."
"Oh Nami!" exclaimed a heart-eyed Sanji, "your delicate hands have provided our salvation! I could kiss them forever!"
"Later," said Nami.
"No way that'll fit into our guns," said Usopp as he pointed at the Buggy Ball, "I mean, I want to use it, but it's too big."
"It will now," said Donald. He used a spell that shrunk the Buggy Ball down so it would fit into the ships guns.
"Better make this one count," said Usopp as he loaded the cannon.
"And make it fast," said Zoro, "they're almost on top of us!"
"Put it right between their eyes, Usopp!" said Aiden.
Usopp then aimed the cannon, but his hands were shaking out of sheer terror, disrupting his aim,
But then Riku put his hands on Usopp's, steadying them. Riku then gave Usopp a look that said that everything was going to be alright. It had a positive on Usopp. He nodded and then aimed right for the figurehead of the enemy ship.
Usopp then held the lanyard of the cannon, but then Luffy put his hand atop of Usopps' "we'll do it together."
"Together," said Sanji as he put his hand on top of Luffy's.
"Together," said both Nami and Zoro.
"Count us in as well," said Sora as he, Riku, Kairi, Aiden, Donald and Goofy put their hands in as well.
"You guys," said Usopp. He then grew serious and prepared to pull the Lanyard, "this is for everyone those Ace pirates murdered!" he pulled the lanyard and everyone's hands moved with his, "FIRE!"
The cannon shot the Buggy Ball. The red cannonball hit The Death Stalker right below the figurehead and detonated. The shrinking magic must have concentrated the explosive power of the Buggy Ball, for it completely obliterated the front half of the enemy ship in the explosion and created a shockwave that knocked all our heroes to the deck.
Just then the displacement wave on the water hit The Going Merry, nearly capsizing her. But our heroes held on to the ship and she pulled herself upright again.
"Is everyone alright?" Sora asked as our heroes got back to their feet.
"I think so," said Kairi. Everyone looked at each other and confirmed that nobody was hurt.
"Look at that!" said Sanji as he pointed behind them.
Everyone saw the rear half of The Death Stalker sink beneath the waves. Within seconds, only fragments of wood every showed any sign that that terrible ship ever existed.
"I forgot," said Riku, "the rift, it was on that ship."
"The brig was in the back half," said Aiden, "if we don't close it, it'll just keep spewing Heartless into the world."
"You want to go after it?" Zoro asked.
"Umm, not really," said Aiden as he looked at the water, "I definatley don't want to do that."
"You were wrong," said Nami, "the enemy brig was in the front half. If the explosion didn't destroy that rift, I don't know what will."
"We could have sealed it," said Sora.
"Look!" said Usopp as he pointed at the scant wreckage. Everyone with a spyglass then saw Pete, Kichot and a still weak Konrad in a lifeboat.
"Let's go pick them up," said Luffy.
"What for?" Nami asked.
"Because it would be wrong to just leave them out there to die," said Riku, though he secretly thought about doing just that.
"Oh," said Luffy, "we could do that. But I like my idea better"
"What idea was that?" Sora asked as Zoro turned the ship around.
"To kick their assess," said a grinning Luffy.
"We could still do that," said Riku.
But then Usopp sighted something else in the water. There standing on the waves was Ursula, completely unharmed.
"That witch is really starting to bug me," said Kairi.
"We can kick her ass also," said Luffy.
But then something exploded out from the water like a bullet. It was Togakuto, his body pulsating with dark magic as he hovered in the air.
"Did you honestly think you could destroy me that easily, you brats!" exclaimed Rakel's voice, "that a cannonball can destroy one of the Hakonian elite! Well let me tell you something, brats! You're wrong!"
Togakuto then dove at The Going Merry, his multiple axes raised for the kill. Nami, Zoro, Usopp, Aiden and Sora were in the immediate line of fire. Nami, Zoro and Usopp ducked, while Aiden and Sora blocked the enemy axes.
Togakuto circled around for another dive attack, this time aiming for Luffy, Sanji, Riku and Kairi. Luffy and Sanji ducked, while Kairi and Riku deflected the enemy axes.
Togakuto then dove at The Going Merry for a third attack, but this one was much faster than the last two. Our heroes ducked as the mutated Heartless slashed with its axe arms and tentacles, each missing its target. But then the creature swung with its main axe and cut right through the mainmast, causing it to fall into the water.
"NO!" shouted Usopp.
Luffy then grabbed the mainmast before it sunk into the water and hefted it onto the deck.
"Nobody hurts my ship and gets away with it!" said a very angry Luffy.
Togakuto had flew around and was now several yards in front of the ship, perfectly aligned with the figurehead.
"This next attack will be the last!" said Rakel, "I'm going to cut your little boat in half!"
"No way!" shouted Luffy as he jumped onto the figurehead, " It's one thing to hurt innocent people! It's one thing to hurt my friends, but it's something else to hurt my ship! All of that's unforgivable! I'll stop you before you get close!"
"This will be interesting," said Konrad as he struggled to sit up want watch, "one who has partaken of the Devil Fruit, against one who, not only has become a Heartless, but has also merged with a Hakonian."
"The rubber boy is as good as dead!" Ursula shouted, "the power of my Darkness Fruit is unbeatable!"
"Shut your trap, witch!" snapped Rakel, "as soon as I'm done with the brats, I'm coming after you!"
"Bring it on!" shouted Luffy.
"Gladly!" shouted Rakel. Togakuto then dove and shot towards the ship, his axes raised to slice The Going Merry in half.
Luffy responded by inhaling so much air that his body expanded, "Gum-Gum Balloon!" he then twisted his body around and forcefully exhaled, the momentum carrying him upward like a spinning bullet.
Still shooting up, Luffy then faced the diving Togakuto and began punching with stretched arms so fast that it seemed like had grew hundreds of arms, each punch hitting Togakuto, "Gum-Gum Storm!"
The intense barrage completely stopped Togakuto's dive attack and began forcing him back up into the air as Luffy continued his assault, delivering well over a thousand devastating punches in less than a minute.
But then Luffy ran out of momentum and began falling towards the water.
"Stop!" shouted Sora, freezing Luffy in time just before he hit the water. Zoro then threw a grappling hook and caught Luffy. Everyone then pulled when the Stop spell wore off, retracting Luffy back onto the deck of The Going Merry.
"Wow!" said Luffy as he safely landed on the deck, "That was cool."
"That was a cool attack," said Sora.
"But did it work?" Riku asked.
Everyone then saw that Luffy's massive attack had forced Togakuto far into the air. But then the mutated Heartless began falling towards the waves. He hit the water hard, creating a huge splash.
Everyone waited with bated breath for any sign of the mutated Heartless. But then black smoke began rising from the water, followed by a huge black crystal heart that hovered above the waves for a few seconds, before crumbling into dust and blowing away with the wind, bringing an end to the most hated man in The North Blue.
"I guess that's that," said Zoro as he sheathed his sword.
"It's still not over yet!" said Kairi, "look!"
In the water was Rakel as she struggled to stay afloat. Sora saw her through a spyglass as the Hakonian grabbed a piece of the wrecked Death Stalker.
Through their spyglasses, our heroes could tell that Rakel wasn't in good shape. Her skin had taken on a gray hue, like stone, and small cracks had appeared on her face. But unlike Ulrik who had crumbled into dust after his defeat, Rakel was still intact.
"You bastards!" shouted Rakel, "you miserable, medling bastards! I'll destroy you all! I'll…" but that's as far as Rakel got, for a piece of wood then hit her hard on the back of the head, knocking her out.
Pete then quickly rowed the lifeboat over and grabbed Rakel before she sunk below the waves, pulling her into the boat.
"She's completely unconscious," said Konrad as he examined Rakel, "if I had any strength left, I'd kill her myself."
"I'll rip you in half if you touch her!" snapped Pete, "I promised Reddik I'd keep her safe, and old Pete always keeps his promises!"
"Well it looks like you're about to earn you pay," said Konrad as he looked at The Going Merry, "we're about to have company."
"Still want to kick their assess?" Riku asked Luffy.
"Hell yes!" said a grinning Luffy.
"Haven't you had enough?" an exasperated Nami asked.
"I don't think we'll get the chance to find out," said Zoro.
Sora looked and saw Ursula walking on the water towards the lifeboat.
"You miserable Hakonians!" spat Ursula, "I had everything under control! Everything was going according to plan, but then you had to interfere! I'll destroy you!"
Just then Maleficent's disembodied voice could be heard over the water, "That will not be necessary, Ursula."
"Great one!" exclaimed Konrad.
"Who is that?" Kichot whispered in a nervous tone.
"The boss lady," said Pete.
Ursula gritted her teeth in annoyance, "I am in no mood to banter, Maleficent. I have some meddling brats to destroy, two sets of brats actually."
"That will have to wait," said Maleficent, "you will return to the castle at once. You and I have some business to attend to."
"I will most certainly not!" said Ursula.
"You will!" exclaimed Maleficent, "you will return to the castle freely, or I will come to you and force you to return."
"Better do it," said Pete, "you really don't want to see the boss lady when she's angry."
Ursula glared alternately at Konrad and the still unconscious Rakel, and at Luffy, Sora and the others. She then sighed contemptuously, "Oh very well, I'll go back and have your silly little discussion."
"You as well, Pete," said Maleficent, "bring Rakel and Konrad, and this familiar that Rakel has acquired, I wish to make its acquaintance."
Just then a Dark Corridor appeared in atop the water. Pete horridly rowed the boat into the portal. Ursula walked to the portal, but looked back at The Going Merry for a few more words.
"You lucked out today, kidos," said Ursula, "but your luck won't last forever." With that she entered the Dark Corridor and it closed afterwards.
"Is it over?" Zoro asked.
"Not until the fish jumps," said Riku. Just then a fish leapt out of the water and fell back in, "it's over."
"Alright!" exclaimed Luffy, "we did it! We saved the world!"
"Well of course we did!" said Usopp as he took up a heroic pose, "after all, I'm the unbeatable Usopp! Lord and Master of all snipers!"
"Oh get a grip already," said Nami.
"But there's still the matter of this worlds' Keyhole," said Riku.
"I nearly forgot about that," said Sora.
"One of the Axe Pirates said something about the Keyhole," said Zoro, "said it was somewhere in The Grand Line."
"I don't know if that's good or bad," said Sanji as he lit a cigarette. Aiden was too relieved from the end of the battle to care.
"Well we are going to The Grand Line," said Nami, "I'm sure we'll find it along the way."
"That's right," said Luffy. He then looked at Sora and the others, "you guys have to join my crew now, at least until we find that Keyhole."
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Kairi asked..
"Uh," said Luffy as he thought about it, "umm, nope, I'm not forgetting anything."
"And I thought Naruto was a knucklehead," said Donald.
"Maybe they're related," said Goofy.
"You did forget something, Luffy," said Nami, "something very important."
"Well what is it?" Luffy asked.
Everyone then pointed to the fallen mainmast. We're not going anywhere as long as that's broken," said Nami.
"Oh," said Luffy, "that. No problem!" He then picked up the mainmast as if it were a matchstick and stuck it back into it's place in the ship, "anybody got some glue?"
"I've got something better," said Donald. He then cast a spell that completely repaired the mast, as if it were never broken.
"I was going to do that," said a dissapointed sounding Aiden, "I had a transmutation all ready."
"Ya snooze, ya lose!" said Donald as he twirled his staff.
"Good as new," said Usopp as he used a rag to wipe off some grime on the mast.
Just then the transparent image of King Mickey appeared on the deck.
"Your Majesty!" exclaimed Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald, Goofy and Aiden.
"Hi, guys," said King Mickey, "how's it going?"
"Good and bad," said Riku, "we've just fought and beat a really tough Heartless."
"And foiled Ursula's plan," said Sora, "again."
"But we haven't had a chance to find this worlds' Keyhole," said Kairi.
"We'll worry about that later," said The King, "right now let's focus on getting you all home."
"Are you sure it'll work this time?" Donald asked.
"If it doesn't," said King Mickey, "you can hit me with your hat."
"I'll remember that," said Donald.
"We're ready when you are, your majesty," said Kairi.
"That's the spirit!" said The King, "Master Yen Sid and I will send the portal to you right now." With that the image of King Mickey vanished.
"You really think it'll work?" Aiden asked.
"I hope so," said Sora.
"Third time is the charm," said Riku.
"So you really are leaving," said a disappointed Luffy.
"We don't belong her," said Kairi.
"Being a Keyblade Wielder means that we can't meddle in other worlds, at least as little as possible," said Riku, "we can't stay."
"Not that we don't want to," said Sora, "I'll admit, if I could, I'd explore The Grand Line with you guys, if only to find the Keyhole."
"And I wouldn't mind getting a share of One Piece," said Aiden.
"Me to," said Donald.
"But again, we'd be meddling," said Kairi, "Luffy, if we stayed, you and your crew would sure have an unfair advantage against everyone else looking for the treasure."
"She's right," said Zoro, "how do any of us expect to find our dreams if we can't do it on our own?"
"Which reminds me," said Riku, "Donald, I think you have some spells to remove."
"Right," said Donald. He then cast a spell that canceled the ones of the ships' guns and ammunition, returning them to normal, "wouldn't want to leave them with an unfair advantage."
"So this is it," said Nami, "this is goodbye."
"But not forever," said Kairi, "someday, when we're in more control of our transportation, we'll come back."
"We're friends now," said Sora, "I want to be there when you make your dreams come true."
"Promise?" Luffy asked in a hopeful tone.
"Promise," said Sora. He and Luffy then shook hands, while Riku shook hands with Zoro, Kairi with Nami, Aiden with Sanji, and Donald and Goofy with Usopp.
Just then the portal back to Disney Castle appeared.
"This is it," said Riku as he walked through
"Where will we end up now?" Aiden asked as he walked through, followed by Donald and Goofy.
"Good luck on The Grand Line," said Kairi.
"If we find the Keyhole before you come back," said Nami, "we'll find a way to let you know, I promise."
"I'll look forward to it," said Kairi. She then walked through.
"It's been great," said Sora, "and we will come back someday."
Sora was about to walked into the portal, when Luffy shouted "Sora! You'll always be a part of my crew!" he then put his hand above his heart, "in here!"
"And you'll always be my friend, Monkey D. Luffy!" said Sora as he also put his hand on his heart. With that he walked into the portal, and it disappeared after him.
"Nice guys," said Usopp as he fought a losing battle against the tears forming in his eyes, "I'll miss them!"
"Me to," sighed Sanji, "me to."
"They'll come back," said Nami as she smiled.
"We'll defiantly see them again," said Zoro, "now, if you all don't mind," he walked over to a shaded spot on the deck and sat down, "I'm way behind on my nap."
"Some things never change," said Nami.
"So where to now?" Usopp asked.
"Where else," said a grinning Luffy, "The Grand Line and One Piece!" just then his stomach growled fiercely, "but let's eat first!"
"Some things never change," Nami said again as she and Usopp raised the mainsail, then Nami took the wheel, steering the ship towards adventure and destiny.
The end of chapter 9.
Sora: Did we make it? Are we back where we belong?
Aiden: Does this look like where we belong? Wait, how would I know?
Kairi: Oh damnit! We're lost again!
Riku: I think we also lost someone.
Sora: Where are Donald and Goofy?
Aiden: More importantly, what the hell is that thing?
Kairi: is that what I think it is?
Riku: Can it be?
Luffy: Next chapter; 'The Adventure Continues Again.' I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!
