Ilixm: Hey y'all! So since the three to four update thing isn't really working out for me, imma start weekly updates. It's a much nicer deadline. Isn't it?

Starfire: Oh yes! It is extremely marvelous!

Ilixm: See? Starfire agrees! Anyways, Star?

Starfire: Ilixm does not own any of the characters or the settings of this story. She owns only the plot, so please do not do the stealing of it! *smile*

Ilixm: Now that's over with... Onwards ho!

9. All Geared Up

*~(Disney Castle)~*

The magic train slowly screeched to a stop. Mickey and the gang was pushed out first, everybody else seeing that Minnie, Daisy, and Pluto were waiting patiently outside. Pluto took advantage of the confusion that followed by jumping on the unsuspecting king and sloppily licking him.

"H-hey boy! I missed you too!" Mickey said between chuckles.

Donald, on the other hand, wasn't looking too good. In his mind, Daisy+coming back super late from the supposed return time = Angry Daisy. And when Angry Daisy showed up, it was best to run.

"Donald! Where have you been all this time? I was waiting for you right here! What were you doing?"

The Royal Magician gulped and hid behind Sora. Daisy was not amused.

"Donald! Get back here right now!" the countess yelled, chasing said duck around the train platform.

Mickey shook his head as Pluto's assault stopped. Once he was freed, he ran over to Minnie and hugged her.

Riku smirked and commented, "Ah, young love..."

Of course, the boy wonder had to point something out ("I'm pretty sure you weren't born a hundred years ago. Though that would explain your hair..."). As a reward, he got a bonk on the head with the Way to Dawn.

The rest of the group was throughly enjoying themselves, newly introduced or not. Once all greetings (and arguments) were said and done, Mickey attended to the queen and countess, quickly telling them about the Titans' lack of weaponry. Queen Minnie smiled, "Well, we have quite the array of weapons in our back room and us Disney folks never really do get into fights... Well, what's ours is yours, so feel free to take what you want! The back room is located at Disney Castle so come along now!"

The short queen led the way, her loving king beside her. As the small mob strolled through Disney Town, famous characters greeted them like Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Horace Horsecollar. Beast Boy and Cyborg were definitely fangirling at this point, taking in the sights ("Ooh! A Disney ice-cream shop?! Cool!").

Oh Azar, Raven mentally groaned. It's like I stepped into Happy's domain... Beast Boy and Cyborg aren't helping at all, too.

Starfire, on the other hand, was throughly enjoying herself, dragging Robin around as she zipped around from booth to booth. Since Sora and the gang was pretty much used to being around Disney characters pretty much all the time, they just leisurely walked together - making the occasional joke or poking fun at each other's egos.

Raven sighed. It's going to be one of those days...

Once the mob of teens and Disney characters reached the castle, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy comically pushed open the huge doors - refusing to let any of the ladies or guests lift a finger. This took quite some time and the others resorted to staring blankly onto space as the Disney trio did their best.

Once the door was open, Goofy smiled and said, "Whatcha waiting for? C'mon!"

*~(Dive Into the Heart [Kairi])~*

Naminé stared out of her large window. The Nobody blankly watched the scenery move around as her Other looked around. Life in Kairi's head was boring, albeit peaceful.

At least this room looks like my old one in the mansion... she thought. Well, almost.

The room was very much like the one she previously resided in; all the furniture was left in their rightful places. But ever since she was born and left to explore the worlds, Naminé brought back bits and pieces of her personal souvenirs. For example, on the wall, life-size keyblade replicas hung from it—the Kingdom Key, Way to Dawn, and Oathkeeper included. Also, the walls were covered with portraits of the people and places she held close to her 'heart'. Roxas was in many of them, as was Axel. What stood out the most was that the marble floor was now checkered with black square tiles.

For Naminé, black wasn't a evil color, nor was Kairi harboring the darkness inside her. In the worlds, balance was always needed. You couldn't have light without dark and vise versa. Black kept Roxas at the front of her mind. Also, the blonde was getting seriously tired of looking at white the whole damn time.

*~(Disney Castle)~*

Beast Boy grinned as he grabbed Starfire and Cyborg, dragging them in front of the huge audience chamber doors.

"Selfie!" he yelled, taking at least fifty or more snaps with his iPhone. You know, just in case the last forty-nine made him look nasty.

Sora and his gang was especially confused.

"Selphie?" Kairi asked.

Raven facepalmed. "If you're done messing with the world order, Beast Boy, let's go get our weapons."

~(*)~

The group trotted down the long hallway leading up to Mickey's throne. The king walked straight up to it and flicked a switch underneath the throne's armrest.

Leading the rest down, Mickey went up to the Cornerstone of Light, pressing a button hidden on the ornate pedestal.

Sora shook his head. "What other hidden rooms do you have in this castle?"

King Mickey chuckled secretively as a slab of stone slid out of the way to reveal a brightly lit room.

Queen Minnie answered Sora's question saying, "Well, since the Cornerstone is here protecting Disney Town and Castle, we've never had the chance to use them, much less learn how to. Truthfully, only Donald, Mickey, and Goofy use weapons. And even they don't need to come down here! So really, take whatever you want."

All five Titans filed into the room, the rest following close behind.

Sora, seeing the wide array of weapons, did a double take in shock. "If I wasn't a keyblade wielder... this would be heaven."

Robin and Cyborg immediately ran to the nearest swords and tested them out. Raven teleported to the nearest kunais, Starfire flew to the nunchuck section, and Beast Boy dashed to the chakrams.

After Raven was done looking around, she nearly lost her head, a lone chakram whizzing less than an inch from her neck. The changeling who almost inflicted the damage nearly lost his too. Luckily, Starfire and Cyborg was close enough to grab their respective friends and drag them both in the opposite directions.

~(*)~

If all the worlds weren't in trouble, the Titans and Destiny trio would still be toying with potions and weapons. To compensate for the lack of time, the Trio shoved all the potions, elixirs, ethers, and tents they could get their hands on.

The Titans took a little more time getting their things together.

Starfire decided to bring along a pair of retractable nunchucks, realistic-looking flames engraved on the side of them. Just because she knew Robin was extremely worried for her safety, she brought along four throwing knives.

Beast Boy decided to take a small, pure gold chakram so he could wear it inconspicuously as a bracelet. The changeling also put on a pair of bagh nakh as he reasoned that anything other than close combat wasn't his forte. Plus, it would just get in the way of his shape shifting.

Robin and Cyborg both brought scimitars, Cyborg's with a dark blue hilt, and Robin's with a dark red one.

Raven decided to go all out. Hidden in the back pockets of her shorts, a pair of push daggers rested, along with two five-pointed shruiken. For all to see, a silver recurve bow set, complete with arrows, was strapped to her back in a inky indigo quiver.

The demoness turned and grinned at her comrades. "Let's roll."
