"Amazing, this is your ship?" Silverbolt asked, stepping out of Egg1 and looking around the room. "It is a certain improvement from the Axalon."
"Yeah it's pretty good." Sora said, stretching out his back, trying to get the kinks out of it. Thanks to the addition of the large metallic robot with wings, the landing pod had become slightly cramped. Silverbolt had jumped right into one of the seats, leaving the humans no choice but to squeeze against the sides. "Would you believe me if I told you that the Pheonix was built by two young boys?"
"Really? They must be smart." The bewildered Fuzor said, still looking around the room.
"Ow, my poor aching back." Sygios whined crawling out from the pod, one hand rubbing his back. "Alright, next time the flying robot flies"
"Quit complaining." Kairi scolded, also stepping out off Egg1. "It wasn't that bad of a ride."
"Yeah I'm sure the two of you liked it, since you had an excuse to lean against each other!" Kairi and Sora looked at each other and quickly looked away blushing. "Me? Well let's just say that the wall and I became great friends."
"Welcome back." The familiar monotone voice said; everyone turned to see the dentist lamp shaped robot move into the room on one of his unseen tracks. "I see there is a new being onboard the ship."
"That's right Max; this is out new friend Silverbolt!" Sygios exclaimed, pushing Silverbolt closer to Max. "Silverbolt meet Max, Max meet Silverbolt."
"Uh, hello..fellow robot." Silverbolt hesitantly said.
"Greetings." Max said, studying Silverbolt. "As much as I would like to take a closer look at what your species is, there is much to be done. I shall create a room for him" Max said, pulling back out of the room.
"Alright." The confused Maximal said. He turned to look at Sora. "Am I supposed to be offended by that?" He asked.
"I don't know" Sora answered, shrugging his shoulders, his hands resting behind his head while walking out of the room. Wait, create a room?" Sora asked sounding surprised. "You can do that?" He shouted, chasing after the AI."
"Uh-" Silverbolt started, not sure what to do."
"Come on." Kairi giggled, grabbing onto his arm, I'll show you around."
"That is much appreciated Kairi."
"Hey wait for me!" Sygios cried chasing after the two. "This room creeps me out!" he continued, giving a fearful look down at metal door where the landing pods were launched through
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"So you're telling me you have the power to create new rooms in this gummi ship without making it any bigger?" Sora asked.
"Affirmative." Max said.
"That's amazing, can you create anything else cool?"
Max stared at him for another moment his orb swirling different colors. "No." he said, and looked down at a computer screen, his orb flashing a green light, as he imputed commands into the computer.
"Oh." Sora said crestfallen. Watching the robot as he worked.
"He sure is big on small talk." Sygios laughed, walking up behind Sora.
"Hmm?" Sora said, looking over his shoulder. "Oh hey Sy-"
"Complete." Max interrupted, he looked back up and faced Sora again. "Keywielder if you would meet me in the Cockpit please." He said, before moving away. Sora and Sygios looked at each other and shrugged, following the AI to the front of the ship. They two entered the cockpit to see Max has stopped at the front near the window. "We are finished in this dimension, affirmative?"
"Yeah, I guess we are." Sora said plopping down in on the seats. He reached over to the consol in front of him and pushed a button. "Kairi, Silverbolt!" he said, his voice echoing from the throughout the ship. "What ever you're up too, its time to come on up front, we're preparing to leave!" a moment later the two Keywielders walked into the room, Silverbolt still had amazement written all over his face. Sygios and Kairi sat down in their seats while Silverbolt looked around not sure what to do.
"Uh where do I-"
"You have a seat over there." Max interrupted, tilting his face to the left. Everyone looked where Max had mention to discover a new chair large enough to fit Silverbolt comfortably.
"You know that's kind of scary, if we pissed Max off he could do what ever he wanted to make things very unpleasant for us." Sygios commented, watching Max with a slight fearful look.
If Max heard what Sygios said he didn't show it. "Shall I head back toward the dimensional gate?"
Sora nodded his head. "Yeah, we're done in this dimension, we have to get to the next one before the Forgotten destroy it.
"Very well." Max said turning to face the window. "Leaving planet." There was the sound of the Phoenix's engines powering up, and the gummi ship started to pull back from the planet Silverbolt had been living on. It turned to face the hole in the cloud, which looked different in this dimension, it was constantly changing colors and looked suspiciously similar to the King's seal. "Launching" Said the robot, and the ship shot straight through the hole. The ship went through the same procedure it went through before. Things became disorientated and the ship started to fly past random color schemes.
A moment later they shot out of the grey shape changing cloud on the other side. "That was different." Silverbolt moaned, giving his head a shake.
"Don't worry; you get use to it after awhile." Sygios laughed.
"What are you talking about Sygios? This is only the second time you have gone through a dimensional gate." Kairi said.
The electric teen looked at Kairi and shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah well, it's still more times then he has done." Sora and Kairi shared a look, and shook their heads in defeat. "So, any more dimensional gates yet?"
"Did any of our Keyblades appear yet?"
"No."
"So then what does that tell you?"
"That no gate has appeared yet." Sygios answered hesitantly.
"Very good." Sora said, giving Sygios fake applause. "I guess you're not as dumb as that dress makes you look."
"Hey thanks." Sygios cheerfully said. "Wait a minuet." His grin fading.
"So what shall we do while we wait for one of these dimensional gates to appear?" Silverbolt asked.
"Well in order to get through the gates we need core fragments, which we have none of now. So I guess we should head to some world and try to find its core fragment." Sora said, looking out the window at some nearby worlds.
"Visiting worlds in our own dimension? Boring! Let's go to another dimension, I want to kick more Forgotten ass!"
"Didn't you and Sora just finish discussing how there are no new dimensional gates yet?" Kairi pointed out.
"Oh yeah." Sygios remembered.
"Besides, it's not like there is nothing to fight here. The Heartless are still running around with there own evil plans." Sora reminded Sygios.
"The Heartless? Just how many evil groups are the three of you fighting?" Silverbolt asked.
"You have a lot of catching up to do Silverbolt." Sora said with a sigh. Sora turned to look at Max. "Max, do you know the basic history of the Heartless?"
"Affirmative."
"Good, then take Silverbolt and start telling him about them."
"Compliance." The Robot said, extending two skinny arms from his body, to push Silverbolt into the corner to give him the story.
"Haha, Silverbolt has to sit through a history lesson." Sygios mocked. "Glad I don't have to learn anything."
"I wouldn't assume that." Sora said.
"What?"
"You were given a summoning charm right?" Sora asked. "Well I thing it's time you learn how to handle it." Sora held one hand. "Give me the charm."
Sygios reached down to his belt, and pulled the claw, given to him by Rattrap, from one of the pouches. "Do I really have to do this?" Sora stared at him and nodded. "Fine." Sygios sighed, dropping the claw into Sora's palm.
"You'll thank me for this." Sora studied the claw for a moment and tossed it to Kairi. "Hold onto this for right now. We wouldn't want Sygios to be tempted to try and summon it right here in the ship"
"You got it." Kairi agreed with a grin.
"Now we can get started. Hey Max!" Sora shouted.
"Yes?" The AI asked, turning to face the three.
"Is there anywhere we can go to practice?"
Max turned to face a monitor next to him, his orb glowing green again. "There is now." He stated simply, as a new doorway appeared next to Sora and Sygios, before returning to his lesson.
"Great, now why don't we get you practicing with the Gizmo charm?" Sora said with a sly grin, pushing Sygios through the new doorway.

-World That Never Was-
"Ha, it's a success. My Track-'n-nator has successfully picked up the return of Spiky Hair Kid and his friends." Doofenshmirtz shouted with joy, as the screen on the machine in front of him started to light up.
"Well done Dr. Doofenshmirtz, it seems that you are indeed useful." Maleficent said with one of her evil grins.
"Ha, I told you that Heinz would a great addition!" Pete happily shouted. "Now that we know where that brat is, let's go get him!"
"Patience Pete, rushing things never works out in the end. Doctor where is the Keybearer exactly?"
"Right here." Doofenshmirtz said, turning on a projector, revealing a holographic map of the universe. He reached up into the hologram, and pointed at the image of a key.
"Hmm, I was right that they would appear near that world. Pete, contact him, tell him they are near by." Maleficent hissed.
"On it!" the fat cat shouted. Running out of the room, only to be kicked back in. "What the? Why I ought a-"
"Ha-cha-cha, if it isn't my old friend Pete."
"Wait a second, I know that laugh." Pete observed, squinting into the shadows, trying to find the laughs owner.
"Well I sure hope you would recognize me, after all we spent so much time together, getting to know each other better." Mortimer growled, stepping into the room.
"Mortimer!" Pete gasped. "Hey there old buddy." Pete gulped. "No hard feelings right?"
"Do you mean no hard feelings about leaving me abandoned in that dimension?" Mortimer asked, holding out one hand to help Pete back up. Pete gave a nervous smile and reached out his hand to grasp Mortimer's, only for an orange hole to open, releasing a Forgotten Sword, which Mortimer promptly grabbed, and pointed it at Pete's chest. "Then yes, there absolutely some hard feelings."
"Lower your weapon, if anyone if going to kill the fool it will be me!" Maleficent said, clacking her staff on the ground.
Mortimer looked up at her and frowned. "Your right, if there is anyone I should kill for revenge it should be you!" he sneered, pointing his large sword at the green skinned witch.
"I remember you." Maleficent said, her eyes narrowing. "You were in the same dimension with Pete."
"Yeah, and for some reason you didn't take me with you.
"What can I say? I assumed the bumbling fool would make a better minion then you, a far less chance of betrayal."
"That's it, now I'm…"
"Settle down Mortimer," Starscream said, walking into the room behind Mortimer. "We were sent to deliver a message, not to kill anyone… yet." Mortimer gave Maleficent one last growl, and sent his sword back through one of the holes.
Maleficent studied starscream. "Who are you, and what do you want?"
Doofenshmirtz during all the commotion had hidden behind his machine in fear, but when Starscream walked into the room, he perked up and ran over to him to get a closer look. "This is robot it amazing, the machine seems to be built out of the parts of a small jet."
"Back off human." Starscream said, pushing Doofenshmirtz away. "I'm not a robot made from jet parts; I'm a transformer with the power to change into a jet."
"A transforming jet...why didn't I think of that?" Doofenshmirtz muttered thoughtfully, stroking his chin. "If I had one of those I might have never been beaten by Perry the Platypus.
"You said something about a message. From who exactly?" Maleficent asked, ignoring the now pondering doctor.
"I suppose we should deliver it, or else the Master might not be so happy." Mortimer said looking over at Starscream while shrugging hi shoulders.
"Just who is this one you call Master?"
"I believe you would know him as Rift."
"What? Rift has already begun sending in his elite troops?"
"I suppose you could call us that, but we don't call ourselves that. The troops are simply the ones we command." Starscream explained.
"You know, we do need a name for ourselves, going around calling ourselves the troops bosses isn't working so well." Mortimer interjected.
"Not now Mortimer." Starscream sighed.
"Well I'm just saying, besides it's a mouthful to say."
Starscream glared at Mortimer, muttering something under his breath."Anyways, back to the message." He said looking back at Maleficent.
"I'm listening, what does Rift want that he cannot tell me himself."
"The Masters message is simple, your services are no longer required."
"Are you saying that I am being fired by a man locked in another dimension?" Maleficent raged, curling one hand into a fist while the other tightened its grip on her staff.
"That's about it in a nutshell." Mortimer said.
"Then tell me, how does Rift plan on unsealing the dimension without my aid?"
"He hasn't told us that yet. So now that the message is done, I think its time to permanently remove all communications with the Master." Just as Starscream finished his sentence there was the sound on an explosion from the other room.
"What was that?" Maleficent commanded, but the mouse and transformer just grinned, and stepped into the holes that appeared behind them. "Pete, go find out what happened!"
"On it!" He replied, racing out of the room. He followed the smoke from the explosion to discover that it had come from the room with the communication device. "Alright, what's happening?" Pete asked himself, stepping into the room. The first thing he discovered what a brown colored hole closing up. It was then that he discovered the source of the explosion, it was the communication machine "What the…oh Maleficent ain't gonna like this." He mumbled, as he looked down at the smoking remains. Shaking his head, Pete fearfully walked out of the room and went back to the room where Maleficent and Doofenshmirtz were waiting.
"Well? What happened?" Maleficent impatiently asked.
"Someone destroyed the device you used to communicate with Rift." Pete explained, before cowering behind his arms.
"Is that all? It means nothing to me now, but it does show how useful their dimension jumping abilities are." Maleficent looked behind her at Doofenshmirtz tracking device. "For now we shall deal with the Keybearer, this revenge will come later." She looked over at Doofenshmirtz who was still pacing and pondering on some thought of his. "Do you have any other devices ready to be used against him?"
"Hmm, maybe if I-what? Oh yes I do have something ready to be tested." He said.
"Good, go and get it. I think it is time for it to be tested."
"Right away!" He said happily before running out of the room to his lab.

Sygios stood in the middle of the newly created training room, he took a breath and held up the wheel shaped charm he was holding in his hand, "Alright, let me try this again. Gizmo Duck!" Sygios shouted, tightening his grip on the gizmo charm which glowed for a moment before dying out. "Damn it!"
"I don't get it." Sora said, scratching the back of his head. "Every time I use a summoning charm I use it with no problem. You on the other hand can't seem to be able to get it to work."
"I'm sure I can get it to work if I try it enough times, how many times have I tried it so far?" Sygios asked, looking over at Kairi for the answer.
"About... 386 times so far." Kairi answered, looking at the number on the screen in front of her.
"Well that number does seem a little high. Sygios admitted sounding crestfallen, looking down at the floor.
"I'd say practice makes perfect but just doesn't seem to be working for you." Sora said, studying the charm in Sygios's hand. "I wonder if the electricity in his body somehow blocking the activation of the charm.
"Well what if the centricity works like magic." Kairi hypnotized. "When ever you use a charm Sora it activates right away thanks to your magic, but if Sygios is using electricity in place of magic-
"He needs to charge up the electricity first!" Sora realized. "You're a genius Kairi!"
"So wait, what?" Sygios asked sounding confused.
"Think of it like your attacks, in order to make it more powerful you need to charge it up for a bit." Kairi explained.
"That actually makes some sense!" Sygios exclaimed. He held up the charm again and started to charge up his electricity in the hand holding the charm. "Gizmo Dick!" He shouted out one last time.
"Blathering blatherskite!" The cyborg duck cried out as he materialized into the room. Gizmo stood in his heroic pose for a moment and then looked around the room in confusion. "Say, where are the bad guys?"
"Sorry Gizmo Duck, no bad guys, just practicing summoning." Sora explained to the confused hero."
"Oh, I see." Gizmo duck said, obliviously sad that there was no one to fight. "Well as I say, I'm a fan of anyone who is a fan of mine." He said with a fake cheerful wave before vanishing.
"Awesome, I did it!" Sygios happily shouted, pumping one fist in the air.
"Nice job Sygios!" Kairi shouted. "I'd give you a hug but I might regret it. Oh by the way I think this belongs to you" She said as she tossed the claw shaped summoning charm to Sygios.
"Fair enough." Sygios admitted, shrugging his shoulders, as he placed the claw back into his belt pouch. "At least school is finally out." He joked, walking out if the training room.
Sora watched Sygios leave and looked over at Kairi, he then seemed to realize something and snapped his fingers. "Oh that reminds me, I should go and check on Silverbolt and see if he is all caught up it what's going on." He then ran past Sygios and out of the room.
"Wow he was sure in a hurry to get out of here." Sygios said with a grin, looking back at Kairi. "It's almost like he was too shy to be alone in here with you."
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"These Heartless creatures sound like a menace to society something must be done to destroy them." Silverbolt growled as he stared out the window. He had just finished his lesson with Max, and was processing all the new information.
"Glad you think so, cause when were fighting in this dimension expect to see a lot of them." Sora said as he walked into the room.
"Well then I cannot wait for the day I meet them." Silverbolt said.
"Will you make up your mind, who do you want to kill more? The Forgotten for taking your girl, or the Heartless for just being Heartless bastards?" Sygios said as he walked into room with Kairi right behind him.
"I cannot simply wish to destroy them both?" the fuzor shot back at the lightening teen.
"Good answer Silverbolt." Kairi giggled.
"So now that school is over." Sora said. "What world are we going to first? Any suggestions?"
"Displaying closest worlds to our current location." Max said, turning to a screen behind him. His orb lit up again and one of the larger computer screens next to Sora turned on, displaying a list of nearby worlds."
"Well, I don't care which one we go to first."
"Hey, since this whole say has been like school, why not that one?" Sygios offered, pointing to one of the names on the list.
Sora looked at the selection and shrugged. "Why not? Max?"
"Compliance." The AI Dentist Lamp said turning to face a computer. "Coordinates set." He said as the gummi ship changed in direction.
"Well alright then." Sora said as his sat in one of the chairs. "Next stop, Sky High!"
