I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Injustice. They belong to Disney, Square Enix, DC Comics, WB games, and Netherrealm studios. This chapter took longer than expected. I've been busy. But I hope you enjoy the surprises I have in this chapter. Hopefully worth the wait. Anyways, before we begin, let's reply to some reviews...
Cloudfan: I'm glad you enjoyed Cloud's special appearance.
SORARULES23: Yeah, I had to think what Sora's fears would be for that chapter. Glad you liked the results. Yeah, DC really should follow Marvel's example movie wise. I'm really looking forward to seeing Endgame. If you've seen it already, no spoilers, they posted enough of those on Youtube recommendations. Sad really. #Nospoilers :D
DragonMaster4872: Yeah, he is but he would show up other than mentions. I'm just mainly focusing on Sora's story. Sorry. And Thanks!
Guest: Thank you!
keybladelight: Well, hopefully they should all be answered by the time the story is complete. We're nearly there.
lyokoMARVELanime: Yeah, I'm glad you enjoyed the Stan Lee cameo. I know this is not a Marvel property but I was a little disappointed he didn't show for KH3 as a cameo as Fred's dad so I might do one more later in the story to get it out of my system. And oooh... I can't wait to hear your reactions when you find out. Enjoy!
KAIJURANGERV: I'm glad you're enjoying this so far. Sad to say though, I have no plans for a sequel. I might set it up for KH4 where as sequel could possibly be made but it probably won't go any further than that. Sorry.
MRJOJOUK3: Interesting ideas... but I'm going another way with the scene. Sorry, they really are neat ideas. I always just planned to go a different route. I hope you enjoy it all the same though.
Jebest4781: Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying this!
Angry lil' elf: No problem. Mainly just Cloud. They're be mentions of the other characters and I might have some more show up. Although don't get your hopes too high. I just said might.
the mysterious Mr.E: Yeah, Cold might be a criminal but he's the one with morals just like his fellow Rouges and deep down they can be good people when they want to be. Scarecrow on the other hand, he's just going to see Sora as another hero who won't kill.
trollzor69: Sadly no, but I do like your profile image. It's pretty much said for almost all fanfic writers. Myself included.
jadenkeyblade: Yeah, both the Regime, the League, and the rest of the DC Universe will have to watch out for the darkness. Their universe will never be the same afterwards. Well, more than it's already changed since Metropolis and the Joker.
Juxshoa: Probably not other than Xigbar/Luxu but you already knew that. And you probably meant Final Fantasy wise. But we do have a few DC surprises though.
DarkJoey: Thank you! :)
Guest: Thank you!
coreygriffin96: Yeah, I kinda want to have those feels when I brought Cloud into the story.
Guest: Thank you!
Guest: And here you go! Enjoy!
Gundam-Knight-Chris: Yes, yes he is.
Crazzytony: Thank you!
Guest: Thank you!
kaged200: Thank you! Please Enjoy this next chapter!
Alright, with that out of the way. Here's the next chapter and let me tell you... it's gonna to be epic!
Chapter 9: Last Hope of Krypton
WORLD: THE WORLD THAT NEVER WAS
In the Organization's old throne room, Luxu and the Foretellers watched as Ava surrendered herself to Sora and his new allies. Aced slammed his fist on the old throne room, "SO... AVA WAS THE TRAITOR ALL ALONG!"
"Easy, Aced... You don't really know that..." Invi spoke up. Aced shook his head, "She delivered herself willfully to the hand of our enemies and is willfully willing to tell them what where planning! She's most likely the cause for the first Keyblade War..."
"I don't believe that... even than she was still on the path of light. She was the one who tried to make sure we didn't kill one another." Ira stated. Gula nodded. "Yeah... and even now she even trying to make sure the light survives... she even fulfilled her role."
"I guess in a way... she and Luxu where the only ones who fulfilled their roles." Invi added sadly. Xigbar chuckled, "Aw... Ivi you making me feel all warm and fuzzy."
"You keep quiet... you just had to tell her everything that you had to do..." Aced stated. Luxu replied, "As if! There were some things I kept to myself..." He gestured to the black box, "Ava knows as much as the Master allowed me to say..."
"He foresaw these events as well?" Gula asked as Xigbar nodded. Ira turned to Aced, "Aced... I know you frustrated... the Keyblade War made us do all sorts of choices we've come to regret but they happened... whoever was the traitor... it doesn't matter now... all we can do now... is to move forward with the Master's plans..."
"It's too risky... even the smallest bit of information she reveals to Sora and his allies could end up backfiring on us ruining everything..." Aced stated, "That boy defied his fate before... who's to say he won't do it again."
"What are you suggesting?" Gula asked with concern. Aced replied, "You very well know what I'm trying to say. We should deal the leak... one way or another..."
"I hate to admit him... but Aced makes a good point." Invi stated. Gula was horrified, "You say you want to just execute her before she has a chance to explain herself?!"
"Easy, Gula... I didn't mean that..." Invi reassured him. Aced exclaimed, "Well, I am! She's becoming a serious problem to our plans."
"Aced!" Ira argued, "We don't need to be that strict... all we need to do is find where they're keeping her and bring her back her. She has the right to explain herself."
"I'll do it..." Gula stated. Aced shook his head, "No, Gula... I don't trust you. I know you two had a history together and your feelings for her may cloud your judgement." He then stood on his throne as he summoned his Keyblade, "I'll tract her down and fight anyone who stands in my way..."
"You don't even know where Batman is keeping her..." Ira pointed out. Aced Keyblade shined with light as he opened a portal to the other world, "Maybe... but Sora might..."
He then stepped through and he was gone. Gula summoned his Keyblade, "I'll go after him..." Luxu raised his hand, "Hold on there Gula... this could be interesting..."
"Huh? What are you saying?" Gula wondered. Ira realized, "You want this to be another opportunity to test Sora."
"Bingo... Aced wanted to fight Sora either way... and Sora hadn't been given a really challenge since Gula fought him... so, let's sit and relax... and see how things play out." Xigbar grinned...
WORLD: DAYBREAK TOWN
In the past, Aced enters the Master of Masters' room. The room was empty, save for him. Just then, he heard his Master spoke up, "You been here long?" He chuckled,"My bad."
Aced turned to him as he shook his head in reassurance, "No." The Master of Masters sat down at his desk, "So, what did you want?"
Aced was caught off guard by that question. He then reminded him, "Uh... You didn't forget, did you? You're the one who called me here."
"Lighten up. I was just kidding!" The Master of Masters laughed, "I didn't forget. Give me a little credit here. I was just testing you!"
"R-right..." Aced blushed in embarrassment as he nodded. The Master then stated, "Now then, allow me to tell you about your role. You're going to be Ira's right-hand man."
"What? Ira's right-hand man? What do you mean?" Aced asked as the Master flips through his Book of Prophecies. He explained, "Well, Ira's gonna be the new leader after I'm gone, you see, so just stand by him. Don't disappoint."
"Explain to me, Master. What do you mean Ira's going to be leader?" Aced asked still very confused. The Master of Masters turned to him, "What? Is that disappointment I hear? Did you want to be leader?"
"No!" He exclaimed before continuing, "I mean, if you had asked me to be the leader, that's a different story, but I wasn't trying..."
"You really wanna be leader, huh?" The Master asked as Aced began to look bashful, "I... well..."
"I know you want it, but that just isn't enough. Any chump can say..." The Master started pointing at Aced and putting on a deep voice, "'You! Here's a huge promotion. Good job!'" He then gave thumbs up before changing back to his normal voice, "...and make you head honcho, but enthusiasm alone doesn't make a great leader. Ira needs someone like you to give him a push in the right direction."
"Uh... I agree, Ira is definitely the most worthy among us. I'm sure he'll make a fine leader." Aced admitted but still was slightly disappointed. The Master gave a light chuckle, "Heh. Then it's settled."
"Wait." Aced spoke up, "I agreed that he is worthy. But why do we need a new leader, Master? Does, does that mean you will no longer be teaching us?"
"Well... I might disappear one day..." The Master confessed. Aced's face, mouth agape, is frozen in shock. The Master looks at him wasn't quite sure if he had heard him right, "Uh... Well... I might disappear..."
"Disappear!? Why? Where!?" Aced spoke up in a panic.
"Speak up sooner if you're listening. That was embarrassing for me!" The Master stated before continuing, "Anyway, I don't know if I'm gonna disappear or not. It's anyone's guess right now."
"But..." Aced tired to speak as the Master continued, "In any case, you need to support Ira. We both know he's quite serious. He's always just thinking and thinking and thinking behind that unicorn mask of his, so everyone will be counting on you to spur him into action."
"Uh...right." Aced replied as they both nodded in agreement. The Master of Masters continued to explain, "You might not be entirely happy with your role, but just know that it's the most important one." He clasping Aced on the shoulder, "Capeesh?"
"Huh?" Aced wondered. Master went on as he turned away, "Shall I elaborate? Making Ira the leader is all good in theory, but sometime later you might think..." He then spoke in a whiny voice, "'eh, he's terrible at this,' He then finished in his normal voice, "...in which case it'll be your job to step up. Who knows? Your leadership might be just what everyone needs. And that is your true role."
Aced smiles at that and nodded as he was satisfied with his role. The Master places his hand on his chest, "May your heart be your guiding key. Best of luck, Aced!"
WORLD: KINGDOM OF CORONA
"See you around, Kairi. We'll keep an eye out for Sora." Rapunzel waved goodbye in the present day. Eugene added, "Good luck finding my sidekick."
"Thanks again!" Kairi waved her new friends goodbye as she headed out of the Kingdom of Corona as she sighed to herself, "Another dead end..."
While, her other friends were in search for finding Master Xehanort's Keyblade and the Door to the Parallel World, she was search for another way to get to the world Sora was trapped on. She had visited and gotten squat. Olympus wasn't a total loss, Herc and Phil gave Kairi some more tips when it came to defending herself, however the latter kept hitting on her until she revealed that she had feelings with Sora. On Monstropolis, she thought maybe on the doors in Monsters Inc could take it there until she learned it only contained all the worlds in this universe. Even if she could get to that world, she didn't wanna scare some random kids with her monster form. Toy Box was no longer around since it rejoined to the real version of that world. The Caribbean had squat but she could see why Sora loved that world. San Fransokyo had some promise and knew what Kairi was talking about, however the dimension the original Baymax was trapped in was completely lifeless and they don't know which dimension Sora was in. However, Hiro said he continue to look into it.
Now, in the Kingdom of Corona, she had just as much luck as she did the others. Still she was able to give Rapunzel what her role was as part of the New Princesses of Heart, so again it wasn't complete loss either. And she had learned a lot since she began her search for Sora. Still, she had not even clue after all that searching. When she teleported back on the Gummiship sell sat back on the pilots charge where Sora would usually sit. She sighed as Jiminy Cricket hopped on to her shoulder, "Well... guess that scratches out another world."
He then turned to the Princess of Heart, "It's okay... Kairi... we'll find Sora..."
"I know we will... but I have to the one to save him... and I can't help but feel like Riku and the others won't let me help with the bigger tasks because they see me as just some damsel in distress... and the worse part is they might be right..." Kairi frowned.
"Kairi..." Jiminy gasped. Kairi stated, "Look at the facts... on our first journey.. I lost my heart and my body was captured by Maleficent to be used for Xehanort's Heartless to get him control over Kingdom Hearts. The second journey, I was kidnapped by Axel to be used to try to bring back Roxas and when I escaped I was captured by Saïx minutes later to use to force him into collecting hearts for Xemnas. And now more recently, during the second Keyblade War, Xemnas kidnapped me yet again and then Xehanort stuck me down when I was defenseless."
"Sora's trapped God only knows where because of me. After I promised that I would protect him." Kairi finished. Jiminy reassured her, "Kairi... you're way more than just some damsel. Think about it... on Sora's first journey, when he was a Heartless, you were the one who brought him back to the light. And when the Heartless attacked Sora, you and Riku held off the Heartless so he, Donald, and Goofy could deal with Xigbar. And back in the Keyblade Graveyard, well all would have been Heartless chow if you haven't prevented Sora from dying."
Kairi looked at the tiny cricket as he smiled, "When you think about it... you're the whole reason Sora had been able to stop Xehanort for good and with your help get Sora back in no time..."
Kairi sighed before smiling, "Thanks Jiminy... I needed that..."
"No problem... Now, there's one more world we could check out. Now, the thing you need to know about that world has two Princesses of Heart on it." Jiminy told Kairi. She nodded, "Okay... so even if we can't find a way there... we can still at least inform them about their new roles..."
"Yeah... and there's one other thing you should know..." Jiminy tried to warn her. Kairi's eyes narrowed as she took the controls, "It doesn't matter what this world throws at us, I'm getting Sora back no matter what. And we'll be together again... So, this world can bring it on!"
The Gummiship then flew on to the next world...
WORLD: ARENDELLE
"IT'S COLD!" Kairi jumped in sudden shock before wrapping her arms around herself as she tried to warm up when the below thirty degree weather hit her. Jiminy hopped on her shoulder as she turned to him, "WHY DIDN'T THE MAGIC PROVIDE ME WITH A COAT?! IT FEELS LIKE I'M INSIDE A FREEZER HERE!"
"I tried to warn you the magic doesn't work that way... and the fact that this part of the world is covered in snow." Jiminy smiled sheepishly, "If it makes you feel better, Sora had a similar reaction. Guess the two of you are just too used to the beach..."
"What can I say? We're islanders. What did everyone expect to happen? That the cold wouldn't bother us?!" Kairi asked as she shivered in the cold. Just then, they heard laughing in the distance. Jiminy went back into Kairi's pocket as she went to check it out. When she arrived she saw a group of people, a walking talking snowman, a giant snow monster, and a reindeer. Kairi walked her way up to them as the snowman spotted her, "Hey, there's a new friend that dressed in similar clothes that Sora wears!"
Everyone turned to the snowman as he went to greet her, "Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!"
"Um... nice to meet you Olaf." Kairi greeted. The woman in the blue ice dress walked up to her, "Who are you? And why did you come here?"
"I'm Kairi. I'm looking for a friend of mine. His name's Sora." Kairi answered. The woman turned to each other as other girl asked, "Um... about your height. Brown spiky hair."
"Did he have a giant key shaped weapon and could use magic like I can?" The older one added as she waved her hands performing a little ice magic. Kairi smiled as she nodded, "That's him..."
"Well... any friend of Sora is a friend of ours. I'm Anna. Princess Anna of Arendelle." The girl smiled as she introduced herself. The ice powered woman smiled, "I'm Queen Elsa of Arendelle."
"I'm Kristoff and this is Sven." The man introduced himself and the reindeer. Elsa then gestured to the giant snow monster, "And that's Marshmallow... he fought alongside Sora, Donald, and Goofy against those... now what did he call them... Heartless?"
"When did you see him last?" Kairi wondered. Kristoff replied, "Well, Anna's ex... turned into a Heartless and Sora and his friends managed to defeat him. Then after Elsa brought back Summer, they left."
"They sometimes stopped by the ice palace or hang out with Marshmallow but we haven't seen in a while." Anna offered as Elsa turned to Marshmallow, "Have he stopped by lately?"
Marshmallow shook his head sadly, Elsa turned to Kairi, "I'm sorry..." Anna then noticed Kairi's frown, "Why the long face? Did something happen?"
"Well... kinda... to put it short. Sora's missing." Kairi admitted shocking them as Elsa asked, "You think he might be in some kind of trouble?"
"Maybe..." Kairi admitted. Kristoff reassured, "We might not have known Sora for long but he seemed pretty strong. I'm sure he can take care of himself."
"I know he can... it's just he's only in this situation because of me..." Kairi frowned. Anna wondered, "What do you mean?"
Kairi looked around before asking, "Is there somewhere more private where could talk..." Just then a cold wind blew on her as she shivered, "...and warmer?"
"We can talk back in Arendelle... it should be a lot warmer there." The Snow Queen reassured her. Anna nodded as they head back to Arendelle castle, "Yeah... not everyone is immune to cold weather... but serious... why are you dressed like that? Sora at least wore long pants."
"Yeah... this would be the first time I'm seen snow... ever..." Kairi admitted. Olaf turned to Kairi, "Oooh... how fun..."
Later on that day, they had entered to Kingdom of Arendelle and entered a room of the castle where Kairi spoke to Anna and Elsa privately. She told them of Sora's story, the Keyblade, the world order, how they were the new Princess of Heart, the second Keyblade War, and what happened afterwards. As Kairi finished, Anna smiled, "That story is so romantic..."
"Wow... this is a lot to take in... Keyblades... other worlds... Pure hearts... I'm not the only one other than you or Sora that can do magic..." Elsa sat down as she tried to take it all in. Anna turned to her, "Guess we owe Sora, Donald, and Goofy a lot more than we thought."
"You're right... Sora had saved the worlds three times over... and his friends helped." Elsa nodded. Kairi, who was currently drinking a glass of hot chocolate to warm herself up, asked, "I know there's an unlikely chance but... you two wouldn't know a way where we can reach Sora."
"Sorry... this is the first time where hearing about the other worlds... let alone alternate timelines..." Anna shook her head. Elsa thought to herself, "I suppose Grandpabbie might have a few ideas... I suppose we could try to as..." Just then, much to Anna and Kairi's shock, the Queen of Arendelle just vanished. Anna and Kairi stood up from their seats as the former exclaimed, "ELSA!"
The Princess of Arendelle then turned to Kairi, "What happened?"
"I have no idea..." She admitted...
WORLD: EARTH
A few hours earlier, Cloud pushed back against Wonder Woman's attack before going to his battle stance. Sora turned to him, "Cloud..."
"Sora... I figured you could use some help..." Cloud glanced to him. Sora smiled and nodded, "Yeah!"
He summoned his Keyblade and went into his battle stance as Kara joined them. Diana stood back up sword still in hand as darkness empowered her. She roared as Wonder Woman charged at them at top speeds as Cloud calmly did the same. Their blades clashed with each other before striking at each other at top speeds as their fight took them in the air. It seemed like they were evenly matched until Cloud managed to get the upper hand and slammed Diana to the ground where Sora was wait as he began smacking her once again with her Keyblade. Kara flew in blasting Diana's sword away with her heat vision.
She quickly when for her weapon as Cloud came back at her Kara blew cold breath on her sword as Sora used ice magic on it. So, when Diana tried striking back, he sword shattered when it clashed with Cloud's weapon. Sora and Kara then doubled teamed to make sure Wonder Woman stayed down. Sora stated, "I may not know much about you Amazon's other than what Phill and Herc told me but stabbing someone from behind doesn't seem very honorable to me."
They then turned to Cloud as he gestured to Harley, "Get her to the hospital outside of this city... Sora and I will make sure she doesn't try anything." Kara turned to Sora, as he nodded. She then flew towards Harley as she picked her up and flew off. She reassured her, "I'll get you to a doctor. Kal can protect you."
"Superman?" Harley weakly made out before giggling, "Oh, Blondie, yer funny." Supergirl wondered what Harley means as she takes her to a hospital still standing outside the city. Sora and Cloud managed to tie Wonder Woman up with her own lasso. Sora turned to Cloud, "You sure this will hold her?"
"She's strong but I doubt she can break her own lasso." Cloud nodded. Sora then turned to Cloud, "Thanks for the help but what are you doing here? Last I saw you, you where in a fight against Sephiroth to defeat the darkness inside of you."
"Yeah... Sephiroth and I took our battle somewhere else. Here. All while the one called Superman decided to knock over cities. No one even noticed my fight against Sephiroth through all the chaos." Cloud explained. Sora wondered, "Did you ever beat him?"
"No. During the fight, he could sense the chaos and darkness of this world and he wanted to explore it. So, he vanished and I've been trying to track him down ever since." Cloud answered, "You actually the first person I've seen since Sephiroth from our universe. How'd you get here?"
"It's a long story..." Sora admitted, "But I think I finally understand what Sephoirth is to you..."
WORLD: THE KEYBLADE GRAVEYARD
A few days earlier during the second Keyblade war, Sora had join forces with Aqua and Ven to confront Terranort and Vanitas. They had just managed to defeat the latter, has his mask began to fall apart finally revealing his face. Sora gasped as he stared at his own face, "Your face...!"
"I'm the piece of Ventus that was taken away." Vanitas explained, "And you're the piece Ventus needed to be whole again. So... why shouldn't you and I look exactly the same? You define me, Sora, the same way that Ventus does. We are brothers who, together, make a greater whole."
"Then why won't you stand by our side?! Instead of with darkness?!" Sora asked. Vanitas answered, "Because I am darkness. And I do stand by your side. I am the shadow that you cast. How much closer could I be?"
"But I didn..." Sora started when Ven cut him off with a more calm voice, "But I didn't ask for this. To be shifted apart, nice and neat. We should be free to choose. Not just light, not just darkness. We decide what we are."
"But... Ventus, I did decide who I am. Do you see?" Vanitas replied. Ven glared, "And what you are is darkness?!"
"What I am is darkness." Vanitas nodded as he began to fade away. Ven didn't like it one bit but accepted it, "Okay."
Sora, however, didn't accept it, "How is that okay?! Vanitas!"
But nothing they could do as Vanitas faded back to the darkness as he gave one final evil smirk...
WORLD: EARTH
Sora mind then returned to the present, "Once we beat Brainiac, my new friends are going to help me get home. You wanna come?" Cloud shook his head, "Sorry... I still have business to take care on this world first."
"But don't you want to see your friends again?" Sora asked, "Leon? Yuffie? Cid? Merlin? Aerith?" He paused before adding, "Tifa... she seemed the most worried about you."
Cloud paused at that last bit before admitting, "I do... but... as long as Sephoirth is out there... none of them are safe."
"You can't face your darkness by yourself, Cloud..." Sora stated, "You need friends to stand by you to help you face it. It's what managed to even the score the last time... maybe that's why he keeps slipping away... because you keep pushing us aside when we can help you."
Cloud took a moment to think about that before telling him, "You should check on your new friends, I'll make sure everyone gets out of the city and she doesn't get into anymore trouble."
"Right... but..." Sora started. Cloud reassured him, "I'll help you stop this invasion and Superman, but after that you're on your own."
"Okay..." Sora smiled and nodded before running off after Kara and Harley...
Eventually, Sora found where Harley was being treated. The doctors said she'd be okay but she needed some time alone. Although, she ask when Sora got in touch with his friends he'd get her an autograph from Goofy, despite the doctors thinking she meant the costume character but Sora knew who she really meant and promised her.
He then proceeded to check on Kara, where he found her sitting on the rooftops by herself, "Hey, Kara..."
She turned to him, "Sora... sorry for leaving you back there."
"It's okay. Harley needed your help more than I did. Cloud and I were able to handle things from there." Sora reassured her, before sitting down beside her, "The Doctors said she'd be okay..."
"I know..." She nodded, "It's just... I was thinking what she'd told me earlier..."
"What was it?" Sora wondered. Kara answered, "Kal... executed the Joker... and became a dictator... planned to wipe out entire cities..."
Sora nodded understandingly, "Ah... I see..."
"Do you know if it's true?" Kara asked. Sora admitted, "Well... to be honest with you... I only heard about it a few days ago from Barry and my other friends... so I'd only got there word for it. I've probably been on this world even less time than you have..."
"Oh... right..." Kara nodded understandingly. Sora gave a moment of thought before reaching in his pocket, "Hold on... I got something that might cheer you up a little..."
Kara turned to him as he pulled out a frozen treat as she wondered, "What's this?"
"Sea-Salt Ice Cream. You have no idea how hard it was to find a place that was still brave enough to stay in business. Thankful, Cloud narrowed the search." Sora handed her one of the treats. Kara took the ice cream sticks, "Um... thanks..."
She then gave it a taste before smiling, "Huh? Salty... yet sweet. It's so good."
"Glad you like it..." Sora nodded as he took a bite of his own ice cream. After a few minutes of enjoying the ice cream, Kara asked, "Sora... when your friend, Riku, fell to darkness... when he took the form of Ansem... well... Xehanort's Heartless... why'd you still go after him? Even after all you heard he had done...?"
"Well... Because he's my best friend... we'd always had each other's back..." Sora started, "We're the closest thing to have as brothers. So, Kairi and I needed to pull him. Because at the end of the day... he's still Riku... all we can do is be there for him... to help him find his way back to the light..."
"And you succeed..." Kara smiled, "If what Harley said about Kal is true is there a chance...?"
"Nothing's impossible..." Sora answered. Kara stated, "You were able to save everyone..."
"All my friends, yes, but not everyone..." Sora frowned. Kara raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
"We the worlds were restored not everyone returned to the world they came. Some were forever lost to the darkness... Including my parents." Sora admitted. Kara was shocked by this as Sora continued, "The hardest part about being a hero is... that you can't always save everyone. That's why Naminé tested my data version of myself. She wanted to see if I was ready to face that kind of hurt. And I do know hurt. But I know it just show how much I care for everyone. It's how we able to keep true to who we are, is the key. I'm guessing your cousin wasn't ready to face the hurt he carried inside him. That might be how he got this bad as we keep hearing about."
Kara then stood up, "Then I have to face him... see if it's true... pull him back if I can..."
"I'll come with you." Sora told her as he stood up. Kara shook his head, "Thanks... but this is something I have to do on my own..."
She then flew off to find her cousin. Sora sighed as he took another bite of his ice cream. He wondered, "What am I supposed to do?"
However, he was unaware of something or someone approach him. And before he knew it, his vision became a blur...
WORLD: STATION OF AWAKENING
Sora blinked once he regained all his senses, though all it did was open his eyes to the infinite blackness surrounding him.
"Hello?" he called out. This was usually the part where he woke up after a vision, strange as it sounded. He looked everywhere for at least some sign of something. He looked left, right, up, down...
He then saw the stain glass floor below him with them image of himself when he was younger on the floor wielding the Kingdom Key Keyblade. The four circles next to him had his closest friend in them. Donald, Goofy, Riku... and Kairi. He then realized he was in the Station of Awakening. This was his heart but what was he doing here. Just then a new voice spoke up, "Well... this is new..."
Sora turned to the figure, he looked like Nightwing but the bird was blue instead of red and there was a D inside of it. He continued, "Most people don't even realize I'm here or take me too whatever this place is..."
"Who are you? What are you doing in my heart?" Sora wondered. The figure turned to him, "Sorry... Name's Dick Grayson..."
Sora gasped in recognition, "You're the original Nightwing." Nightwing nodded as Sora stared in confusion, "But aren't you supposed to be..."
"Dead? Yeah... thought that myself but the light still needed me so here I am. The guy who used to have this job... Boston Brand, finally passed on and before he did he passed it down to me..."
"So... this is your heart..." Sora realized. Nightwing shrugged, "Well... my heart and soul actually... so, who are you?"
"Oh... I'm Sora... I'm a friend of Batman's..." Sora explained. Nightwing raised an eyebrow, "Really?"
"Yeah... we're trying to stop Brainiac and the Heartless together..." Sora nodded. Nightwing asked, "Are those the strange shadow monsters that are attacking people?"
"Yup..." Sora nodded. Nightwing gave a moment of thought before asking, "Hey, Sora... I usually don't ask this since no one really knows I'm here... but could I look into your memories really quick... I need to know what we're dealing with. It won't take long."
"Sure..." Sora nodded. Nightwing then took a peek into his memories, "Alright... let's see..."
After a few minutes of staring, Nightwing paused in shock as he stated, "Whoa..."
"You're shocked that my friends are real, aren't you?" Sora assumed. Nightwing admitted, "Yeah... I thought Donald and Goofy being on this glass floor was just for decoration but... they're all real in your universe?"
"Yup." Sora nodded. Nightwing continued, "And Maleficent and Pete are supplying Brainiac with the Heartless?"
"That's right..." Sora nodded. Nightwing turned to him, "It seems like you've had quite the journey."
"Yeah... just when I thought it was all over something else comes up." Sora stated. Nightwing smirked, "Well... guess our universes have that in common... Say, Sora... could I ask you a few favors?"
"Sure." Sora nodded. Nightwing asked, "I take you learned how I died, right?"
"Yeah... Damian lost his temper and killed you, right?" Sora asked. Nightwing nodded, "Yeah but he didn't intend to kill me, so I don't hate him. Disappointed in him, yes. But I don't him. And I forgave him too."
"Does he...?" Sora wondered. Dick nodded, "He does. He even apologized too. But his temper and hatred towards his father... it's gotten worse over the years because of my death. Bruce didn't take it too well. I know he's been trying to mend it since for Alfred... but Damian won't listen to him anymore... maybe he might listen to you."
"I'll try." Sora nodded. Nightwing nodded, "Good. One last thing... tell Bruce... tell my father that I'll help in any way I can."
"I will." Sora smiled scratching the back of his head, "Hey, is there anything I else I can do... back in my timeline we have these Replicas we used to bring back Roxas, Xion, and Naminé... maybe, when I get back home... we can..."
"I appreciate the thought, Sora. I really do. But my time in the living is over. I've been given a much higher purpose. I can't just leave. I owe it to the original Deadman..." Nightwing explained. Sora smiled and nodded when he remembered, "Oh, Dick. When I last spoke with Cyborg... I promised I'd help find his friends... your friends... you won't by any chance know where they are?"
Nightwing admitted, "Actually... Last I saw them, they were helping Blue Beetle and Booster Gold stop Starro and Red Lantern invasion. They were captured by Brainiac and then left to die once he learned where Superman was. But they were saved and brought into the future."
"So... they're safe... in the future?" Sora asked. Nightwing nodded, "The 31st century."
"Right... I'll tell him..." Sora nodded. Nightwing nodded, "Good luck..." And with a flash of light, the original Nightwing left his heart...
WORLD: EARTH
Now back on Earth, Sora's years of experience watching Nightwing's heart fly off. He smiled as he knew it'd be invisible to anyone else. Just then, a boom-tube opened behind him, "I was told you'd be here."
Sora turned to him, as he continued, "I've got fox girl locked up when things settled down. We even made sure her hands were locked up, didn't want to use that Keyblade of hers to free herself." He then rubbed the bad of his head, "Listen... Harley are I, aren't even close to becoming friends anytime soon... but I'm sorry for what happened to her."
"Thanks, Victor." Sora smiled in appreciation. Victor looked around, "I was told Kara would be here too? Where is she?"
"Trying to find her cousin... Harley told her what happened to the Joker... and what came afterwards..." Sora explained. Cyborg's eyes widened, "Wait... she was never told..."
"Apparently... Wonder Woman and Black Adam neglected to tell her the whole truth..." Sora nodded. Cyborg looked worried, as Sora wondered, "What's the matter?"
"Last guy, who spoke up against Superman... who was with the Regime... Superman killed for his defiance..." Cyborg stated, "And the thing was Shazam was still just a kid."
"Wait... you mean... Superman murdered a child!" Sora exclaimed in horror. Cyborg sighed, "Being in the Regime... there's a lot of things, I've come to regret... Billy's death was the one that scared me for life. I guess that's why Barry left us... that's why drew the line for him..."
"Then why did you stay?" Sora asked. Cyborg shrugged, "For the longest time, I always thought we did these sorts of things for the greater good... but after that... I guess I always fear what he'd do to me if I spoke against him."
"I see... you think... he'd do the same to his own family?" Sora asked in worry. Cyborg admitted, "I don't know... There's a lot of things he capable of that we don't know he's doing."
"You know Iago had that same problem too. But he managed to overcome his fear of Jafar. You have to remember who you fight for." Sora told him. He then remembered, "Oh, yeah! Dick told me what happened to the other Titans!"
"Dick? As in Grayson? He was here?" Cyborg asked. Sora nodded, "Yeah... his heart joined with mine briefly and we talked..."
"Hmm... Is there anything you can't do?" Cyborg smirked. Sora chuckled, "Getting back home seems to be the only hiccup at the moment." They shared a brief laugh before Cyborg asked, "So, did he say where?"
"Yeah... Dick said they're were picked up by heroes from the 31st century. They were brought to there time." Sora explained. Cyborg paused, "The future, huh? I guess that makes sense. We had our fair share of time travelers. At least I know there okay. Thanks Sora."
"No problem." Sora smiled before thinking about Supergirl, "Say... where is Superman anyway?"
"He's currently regaining his power at the Fortress of Solitude... why?" Cyborg asked when he realized, "You're going after her, aren't you?"
"Yeah... I know she wanted to face her cousin alone but after hearing about Shazam... I just want to make sure she's okay. Help her incase he tries to..."
"If he does... there's a good chance he'd try to kill you too." Cyborg warned him. Sora smirked, "I faced worse..." He was about to run after her when Cyborg asked, "Do you even know where to look?"
"Nope. Not a clue." Sora admitted. Cyborg chuckled, "I keep forgetting your in a universe where Disney is real..." He then opened a boom-tube getting Sora's attention, he explained, "I still got things to do here but the least I can do is get you there in one piece."
"Alright! Thanks, Victor!" Sora beamed. Cyborg nodded, "No problem... It's what friends do. Just try not to die there. I don't want to tell your girl that you're not ever coming home."
"You got it!" Sora smiled before running through the portal...
Earlier, at the Fortress of Solitude, Superman was floating in the solarium, a concentrated beam of solar energy, getting stronger after years of red sun treatment. He hovered down to Black Adam and Nightwing. He turned to the latter, "Did you find anything?"
"I analyzed the Kryptonian data like you asked. You didn't miss anything. They just didn't have an answer for Brainiac." The current Nightwing told him. Superman's eyes narrowed with determination, "There has to be SOMETHING. A blind spot, a weakness... brute force won't be enough!"
"If your powers are restored, I should leave for Kahndaq, make sure its defenses are prepared." Black Adam told him. Superman raised an eyebrow, "Brainiac hasn't attacked it yet?"
"The Rock of Eternity's magic hides Kahndaq from prying eyes, even Brainiac's. But I don't expect him to be fooled forever. Especially with the witch, Maleficent, on his side." Black Adam explained. Just then, Supergirl flew in, "Kal, we need to talk."
"Give me a minute, both of you." Superman told his fellow members. They both left as Superman landed in front of his cousin, "Damian told me what happened. Is Diana all right?
"She's fine..." Kara answered before she told him, "...but she was gonna kill Harley. I've never seen her so cold-blooded."
"Yes, it's unfortunate..." Superman started when Kara nodded, "I know. What was she thinking?!" Superman continued, "It's unfortunate Diana chose now to deal with Harley. MORE unfortunate that you, Sora, and another got in her way!"
"What?!" She gasped in horror. Superman went on, "The Joker sickened Harley's mind beyond healing. When she relapses, innocent people will die."
"Innocent people are dying NOW! She was HELPING us!" Kara argued. Superman rolled his eyes, "Don't be naive, Kara. Harley's a criminal. My only mistake was not dealing with her sooner."
"Harley said the Joker was executed. Were YOU the one who...?" Supergirl asked. Superman turned away as he answered, "I took ONE life to save millions!"
"But it WASN'T just one, Kal, was it? How many?" She then turns Superman to face her, "HOW MANY?!" She touches their family's symbol on Superman's uniform, "Everywhere I go, people are afraid of this. Now I know why!"
" It's NOT how I wanted things. But, humans... they've been slaughtering each other for millennia. I stopped that violence." Superman stated as Supergirl couldn't believe it, "Humans need strong leadership. We have to save them from themselves! And once Brainiac, Maleficent, and Organization XIII are out of the way we can use Kingdom Hearts to do just that!"
Supergirl back away in horror, she didn't want to believe it but it looks like everything Harley had said about him was true, "Whose son are you? Jor-El's... or General Zod's?!" She takes off out of the Fortress as Superman called out to her, "KARA!"
He then spoke over an intercom heard throughout the Fortress, "Don't let Kara leave the Fortress!"
Supergirl stops her flight out as she runs into Nightwing, as he told her, "Hold on, Kara." Supergirl eyes narrowed, "I'm realizing maybe your father locked you up for good reason!"
"Superman's been more of a father than Batman could EVER be!" Nightwing stated as darkness crept up with him. Kara's eyes widened in horror, "Oh Rao... it's just like with Diana... That's the darkness, Sora, warned us about! Why are you using it Damian... Sora said it's dangerous! Sooner or later, it'll consume your heart!"
"Not a chance. My hearts too strong." Nightwing shook his head. Supergirl pointed out, "Riku said the same thing. However, it didn't stop Xehanort's Heartless from possessing him. Didn't you even listen to Sora's story?! Don't you feel any sympathy for him at all after what he told us?!"
"Don't even go there! I do have at least some sympathy for him for what he's been through! But he always had his friends hanging around him. Without them he's weak and broken! Unfit to wield the weapon he holds! While I had no one. I was always alone!" Damian stated before he smirked, "But Superman and the Regime are gonna change all that! I use my new powers to take the blade from him, end Brainiac, and along side Superman, we'll bring order to both universes!"
Supergirl eyes narrowed at that, "I may not have much about the Keyblade till now but I know it would be wasted on you!"
Nightwing put away his staff as he summoned what appeared to be Riku's old weapon, Soul Eater, "Humph! We'll see..." He went to his battle stance with his new weapon as Kara stated, "Kal should be setting a better example!"
Supergirl tries to fly in to attack but is stopped by a shield of pure magic, created by Black Adam. He told her, "You will submit, Kara Zor-El!" He then blasts her with lightning sending her back into a crystal as she got back to her feet she saw both Adam and Nightwing approached her. Just then, a Boom-Tube opened getting everyone's attention. Just then, Sora leaped out of it Keyblade in hand and knocked both Damian and Black Adam away from Supergirl. Kara was shocked, "Sora?"
Sora turned to her and beamed, "I made it!" Supergirl asked, "I thought I told you..."
"I thought I'd come just in case things went south." Sora smiled. Supergirl returned his smile, "I'm not complaining..." Just then, they turned to see a recovering Nightwing and Black Adam. Supergirl turned to him, "I'll keep Adam busy... can you handle Damian?"
Sora went into his battle stance, "No problem!" Supergirl nodded as she flew directly at Black Adam taking him to another part of the Fortress. Nightwing walked his way to Sora, "You're here... saves me the trouble of tracking you down. I've been dying for a rematch. This time... just you and me..."
"Damian... I spoke with Dick... the original Nightwing... I know what happened between you and him..." Sora stated. Nightwing snarled, "What happened... was an accident!"
"I know and he's forgiven you for that but he wants you and your father to make up as well. I can see that there is darkness in your heart but it's not too late... you can still return to the light and join your father's side." Sora tried to persuade. Nightwing brushed him off, "Superman's been more of a father to me than he ever was. He's willing to do what needs to be down to protect this world. Batman's weak because he won't."
"Dick refused to kill too, you know! Not because they're weak!" Sora argued, "It's easy to get angry at someone and get revenge for whatever they have done. But... true strength is were you refuse to give in and spare your enemies... It's what they've been trying to teach you all this time! It's what he's still trying to teach you if you only listen!"
"He's not my father!" Damian exclaimed. Sora cut him off, "He is! A true parent doesn't let their child do whatever they want! They job is to help them find the right path and teach them right and wrong. He still cares for you. He might not show it. But I can see in his heart... that he still does Damian..."
"All this time in my universe and you still don't get it..." Nightwing snarled, "You understand nothing! You're not worthy of using that Key! Hand it over!"
"That's not happening!" Sora stated. Damain roared as he charged at him Soul Eater in him. He raised his sword and struck down which Sora blocked and knocked aside. Sora swung at him but Nightwing used a smoke bomb to get away. He then threw several batarangs at him which Sora blocked. He prepared for the next attack when he heard beeping sound from the batarangs. They exploded knocking Sora in the air as Nightwing grappled on to him and used the zip line to pull forward and kick Sora in the stomach marking fall over and take his Keyblade. Nightwing smirked as he landed with the Keyblade in his hand.
However, Sora quickly recovered and simply raised his hand. The Keyblade vanished from Damian's hand, much to his shock, "What?!"
The Keyblade then reappeared in his hands as he quickly used a healing spell on himself. Then he performed a shot lock on him. His Keyblade transformed back into yo-yos and then struck with as they struck Nightwing from all sides. As he recovered from the attack, Nigthwing demanded "How? It was mine!"
"You saw my memories, Damian... so you should know..." Sora stated as he showed Damian his weapon, "This is what lights the darkness! A chance to make everyone happy! The Keyblade has always been with me since the start on my journey and as the darkness is in your heart, Damian, the Keyblade will never chose you! EVER!"
Nightwing's eyes narrowed with anger as he tried to blast Sora with dark fire. However, he used the Keyblade to block and redirect the fire back at Damian. He quickly landed on his feet only for Sora to strike him with the Keyblade. After the last attack of light, Nightwing quickly recovered and tried to attack but Sora blocked all the attacks and countered with a lighting spell, stunning Damian. He then proceeded to knock him out with one finally strike from his Keyblade. He told him, "If your brother hasn't given up on you after all you've done, then neither shall I. I just hope you're willing to listen the next time we speak..."
He then noticed rumbling in the fortress as Supergirl came crashing down the floor below them. Black Adam flew down towards her, "Stand down, girl..."
As Supergirl recovered, she glared at Black Adam, "Ever since you found me, everything you told me... half-truths... lies... to cover up your own evil!"
"You see the world as a CHILD does. 'Good' and 'evil' are not constants. Their meanings are defined by those with power!" Black Adam stated. Just then, the Keyblade came flying in as it smacked him back. The Ever After Keyblade returned to Sora's hand, as he lifted the Keyblade in the air, "HEAL!"
Green light shined over Kara as it healed her injuries, she turned to him and smiled with appreciation. They then turned their attention to Black Adam, who recovered from the last attack. They quickly went into their battle stances as Sora stated, "Let's take him together!"
Kara nodded as she blasted Adam with her heat vision as Sora casted fire magic at him. The blasts knocked him back but he caught himself as he flew at them blasting lighting at them. Sora blocked the spells as Kara flew in with a powerful punch. Sora then came in as he smacked Adam with his Keyblade several times as Supergirl came at him with another punch. Kara then grabbed Sora and spun him around as the Keyblade continued to smack to Adam knock him back. Supergirl then threw the hero of Kingdom Hearts at the immortal as he slammed Adam back to the ground. As Adam recovered Sora blasted him with water magic as Kara blew cold breath freezing him in place. Sora smirked, "That should hold him!"
"Lucky for him, we find power in restraint!" Kara stated. She then turned to Sora, "C'mon... let's get out of here..." Sora nodded when they heard Superman's voice spoke up, "Kara, Sora, please."
They turned to Superman as he told them, "Listen to me. With our powers, we CAN'T hold back or the ones we love... pay the price."
"I'm sorry I wasn't here... that I couldn't help you. But Metropolis wasn't your fault!" Supergirl told him. Superman replied, "I promised myself: never... again."
"This isn't who we are. The House of El isn't ruled by fear." Kara told him. That's when Superman got angry, "Hope isn't enough to save the world! Without me, they'd be dead!"
"Is this what your wife would have wanted for you?" Sora asked getting Superman's attention as he continued, "I get where you come from... I know the pain of losing your home and losing someone... losing someone you love..."
"Then you should know what should be done." Superman stated. Sora nodded as he went into his battle stance, "Yeah... stopping you before even more lives are lost." Superman threw a fist at Sora but was caught by Kara who punched her cousin back. Kara turned to Sora, "You still got magic on you?"
"Always..." Sora nodded. Kara turned back to her cousin, "Good... cause we're going to need it..." Kal flew in ready as he eyes began to glow red. He blasted his heat vision as Supergirl fired hers. As they the red beams clashed against each other as Sora aimed his Keyblade and exclaimed, "FREEZE!"
Ice magic struck the Man of Steel making him back up in pain as Supergirl's heat vision blasted him back down with a crash. Superman got up in time only to be smacked down by Sora's Keyblade. He struck the Kryptonian several times with his Keyblade until he transformed it into a staff. He then proceeded to blast Superman with magic and light. Superman threw his fist at him only for it to be replaced with a light image of Sora. He then noticed he was surrounded by light copies of Sora. Both the real and the light copies fired magic pushing him back falling to notice Supergirl had flown above him and flew back down knocking him back to the ground with a crash. She looked down on her cousin, "We can HELP you..."
As Superman and his allies began to recover when time stopped around her. Kara looked concerned, "Kal..." She waved her hand across her face, no reaction whatsoever. She turned to Sora, who had a confused look. She asked, "Sora... did you...?"
"It's not me..." Sora shook his head. Kara paused as she wondered, "Then who...?"
"Let me save you the trouble!" A new voice walking up, they turned to see Aced marching his way to the two of them, "I DID!"
"You guys again?!" Sora eyes narrowed as Kara added, "What do you want?"
"My name is Aced and I seek answers! And I didn't want anyone else interfering..." Aced told them, "Now where is Batman holding Ava?! TELL ME NOW!"
"Ava?" Sora wondered in confusion. Aced sighed as he clarified, "The girl in the fox mask?"
"OH! HER!" Sora realized. Kara asked, "Sora? Do you know what he's talking about?"
"Yeah... one of their members came to us and surrendered after Wonder Woman went to help you." He explained. Kara nodded as she turned back to Aced, "What do you want with her?"
"That is none of your concern." Aced answered. Sora held his Keyblade in his hand back in it's normal state as he stated, "If the Organization wants here then she is..."
"Very well..." Aced nodded, "It has come to our attention she holds certain information that we don't want getting out... I've come to make sure that doesn't happen."
"Wait... are you saying you want to?" Sora gasped. Kara marched up to him, "I don't know what you want with Sora or what you're planning... or even if it has anything to do with Brainiac. I don't care if she's good or evil... she surrendered to us and will be given a fair trial. And we're not going to let you kill her."
"Yeah... Bring it on..." Sora nodded. Aced glared under his mask as he raised a hand to summon his Keyblade, "You will tell me... one way... OR ANOTHER!"
He then swatted Supergirl aside knocking her into some of the crystals before proceeding to strike Sora. The teenager raised his Keyblade and blocked the attack. The impact of the clash created a crater in the ground. Sora did his best to hold up but thankfully Supergirl had returned and punched Aced away. Sora and Supergirl then threw everything they had at him, but it seemed like he could take all their punishment and give just as much. Aced raised his Keyblade and strike against Supergirl but she caught it with her bare hands. She blasted it with her heat vision with no effect. Sora knew they had to think of something fast otherwise they'd be in real trouble. He quickly went through his Heartbinders and picked one he never used before, "Now seems like a good a time as any..."
He then held it close to his heart as he exclaimed, "TOGETHER!" The snow swirled around him as an icy figure stepped out of the blizzard. She observed herself and where she was, "What the...? What happened? Where am I?"
"Elsa?" Sora recognized her. She turned to him, "Sora?" She then recalled what Kairi had told her about him, "Where have you been? Where are we?"
"I'll explain later! We could use a little help!" Sora explained as Supergirl was finally pushed aside as Aced cane charging in. Elsa gasped and quickly created an ice wall. The Keyblade barley broke through by it was stuck in the ice as Aced tired to pull it out. A recovered Supergirl then ran behind him and pulled him away as she slammed her fist across his face. The three then started powerful attacks and prevented him from resummoing his Keyblade. Then for one finally attack they combined their ice powers to contain the strong brute Keyblade.
With him finally down, the three took deep breaths. Elsa wondered, "Who was that?" She then turned to Kara, "And who are you?"
"I'm... Supergirl..." She answered, "It's kinda of a long story..."
Just then they heard slow clapping, and the three turned to see the Organization member leaning on the frozen Aced, "Well done! You never cease to impress, Sora!"
He then added as he patted the frozen Keyblade wielder on the back, "Gotta say, I thought Aced nearly had you a few times but you pull through as always."
"Just what do you guys want?!" Sora demanded. The man in the black coat chuckled, "You'll see, Tiger! Keep it up and I'm might just give you and your buddies a sneak peek of what's to come."
Just then a corridor of darkness surrounded the villains. Sora gasped, "Wait!" He tired to chase after him but he and Aced where long gone. The Keyblade stuck in the ice vanished too. Elsa wondered, "What is going on?"
"Yeah... long story..." Sora starched his head. The Snow Queen had so many questions going through her head but quickly shook them off as she told him, "Sora, listen! You need to tell me where you are! Kairi's looking for you."
"K-KAIRI?!" Sora gasped. Elsa nodded, "Yes, Anna and I was just speaking her when I was brought here... wherever here is..."
Supergirl turned to the Keyblade's chosen one, "Sora... This might be your only chance to send a message to Kairi and your other friends of what has been happening."
"Oh! Right! I need to warn of Brainiac, Maleficent, Pete, the Organization, and those other Keyblade wielders are." Sora realized. Elsa quickly asked, "Um... could someone tell me what this is about? I thought Kairi said you defeat the Organization."
"Elsa... Your Majesty... I need another favor..." Sora asked, "When I send you back... could you deliver a message to Kairi for me? It's important."
"Sure... after everything Kairi told me of what you've done... it's the least I can do." Elsa smiled and nodded. Sora and Kara quickly gave her brief information of the situation they were in. Once, Elsa was told everything she was sent back to Arendelle. Sora turned to Kara, "Do you think it work?"
"It will. Like you said... your hearts are connected. Hopefully with any luck, they'll find a way to you and we can stop Brainiac and Organization XIII." Kara smiled. Sora smiled at that, he had hope he'd see Kairi. He whispered, "May your heart be your guiding key."
Just then the time spell finally wore off as Damian looked around, "What happened?"
"I don't recall doing this much damage during our fight." Superman admitted. Kara explained, "Yeah... we had a brief fight against the Organization..."
"They were here?!" Black Adam stated. Sora nodded, "Yeah but they're gone... for now..."
Superman stood back up as Nightwing and Black Adam surround them. He then turned to the two, "Think about all you two have lost."
He then turned to his cousin, "What if you could've saved Krypton?"
"I think about it every day!" Kara admitted. Superman then told them, "Then stand with me."
Suddenly, booms could be heard from outside. Sora wondered, "What's happening?!"
"It's Brainiac." Kara gasped, "He's extracting the cities early!"
"Then we fight back!" Black Adam stayed, "I must go to protect Kahndaq."
"Go. We're heading to Metropolis." Superman told him. Nightwing then asked, "What about them?!
"All that matters now is stopping Brainiac and Maleficent. But, when this is over, you need to choose. Both of you. You're either WITH me...or AGAINST me!" Superman told them. Supergirl didn't like that choice but Sora already knew his answer. He just hope Supergirl would be willing to give him a lift back...
WORLD: ARENDELLE
It had been nearly been a half an hour since Elsa vanished from the world as Kairi and Anna were trying to figure out what to do without causing a panic or disrupt the world order. Anna wondered, "Okay... what should we do..."
"I'm not sure..." She then pulled out her Gummi Phone, "Maybe... I could get in contact with Riku and King Mickey and ask them what might have happened to your sister."
"With that?" Anna asked as she observed her gummiphone, "I always thought it was some short of spyglass. You can contact your friends with that." Before Kairi could respond or do anything else. Elsa then faded back to the world she came from, Anna beamed, "ELSA! YOU'RE OKAY!"
"I'm fine... Anna..." She smiled, "It's good to be home." She then remembered, "Is Kairi still here?"
"Yeah..." Kairi spoke up getting her attention, "What happened."
"Kairi... I just spoke with Sora..." Elsa started. Anna and Kairi gasped at that as the former asked, "Wait, what? How? I thought Kairi said it was difficult to get to Sora and get back."
"Apparently, he used something called a Heart Binder..." The Snow Queen answered. Kairi then realized, "So that's what happened!"
Anna looked confused, as Kairi explained, "Basically, Sora can use those to call upon help while he's on other worlds... I guess his heart can still reach out to our worlds."
"He could have asked first." Anna muttered. Kairi smiled sheepishly, "Yeah... he can be a bit lazy at times..."
Elsa admitted, "I actually didn't mind... us super powered people have to stick together..." She then went back to the main subject, "Anyways... he wanted to send you a message from the world he's on."
"How is he? Is he okay?" Kairi asked with concern. Elsa replied, "He's fine... he's made some new friends there... but the Heartless, Maleficent, and Pete. They're there with him!"
"WHAT?!" Kairi gasped. Elsa nodded, "Yes, according to Sora, she's teamed-up with this creep called Brainiac. He's been stealing cities from other worlds and destroying what's left of that world. He's planning to do the same to the world he's on with Maleficent's help. In return, he helps her get something... a black box if I recall correctly."
"That's not good. Both her and the Organization wanted that box. Guess Maleficent and Pete must have finally got a lead. But... how did they get to the world Sora's on?" Kairi wondered. Elsa continued, "There's something else."
"What?" Kairi's eyes widened with worry. Elsa explained, "Sora and his new allies have also came face to face with animal masked Keyblade Wielders who are league with a man in a black coat."
"A BLACK COAT?!" Kairi gasped in horror, "But... that's... that's Organization XIII!"
"Um... didn't you say that they weren't going to be a problem anymore?" Anna asked with slight concern. Kairi nodded still can't believe what she was hearing, "Yeah... Sora defeated them and Xehanort passed away due to old age... this shouldn't be possible..."
Kairi turned back to Elsa, "How long do they have before this Brainiac destroys that world?"
"Um... less than 24 hours... maybe even slightly less..." Elsa recalled. Kairi realized, "We got to get to Sora... and fast!" She stood up as she turned to leave, "Thank you. You've been a big help."
"No problem..." Elsa smiled. Anna nodded, "Yeah... when this is all over you should come by to visit... and wear warmer clothes next time..."
Kairi smiled and nodded before she turned to leave before Anna stopped her as she whispered, "Also... you know any single guys that would be good for my sister?" Kairi paused before smirking, "You know... Axel could use a girlfriend..."
The princess then winked at each other as Kairi turned to leave. Her smirk then turn to worry, "Hold on, Sora... I'm... er... we're coming..."
She then left the world, she just hope they could get to Sora before it was too late...
And that will conclude today's chapter. Man, allot happened in this chapter. Cloud team-up with Sora and Supergirl against Wonder Woman (Don't worry Cloud fans, this won't be the last we see of him. He shows up in the next chapter actually), Sora meet Dick Grayson as the new Deadman (If your wondering how that happened I suggest reading year three of Injustice tie-in comics.), Damian is using the power of darkness even using Riku's old sword, Elsa appeared as a summon, and Sora was able to get in contact with Kairi because of it. And know she knows the dangers Sora has been facing since coming to the Earth. And let me tell you now... this won't be the only surprises we'll see in the story.
Also, in case you're wondering why have a brief mention of Axel/Elsa. It's an interesting ship that I've been reading about. Is Og Ild done quite a few of them and they're actually pretty good. There's a modern day Kingdom Hearts story where Elsa, Axel, and Sora join forces, a mutant based story (With some sea-salt trio action in there as well), and a new twist on KH3 if Xehanort decided to try to get the New Seven Hearts instead of waiting for Sora to gather the 7 guardians of light just to name a few. Oh, and they all include Sokai. ;D So, I recommend you check some of those stories out.
Next time, while Sora and the other heroes go the first round against Brainiac, Kairi informs the others of what's been happening with Sora. Now, knowing their on the clock, they triple their efforts to find a way to bring Sora back. However, the key to finding a way to Sora lies in Radiant Garden where Ansem the Wise lies. And not only that, the only one who can make sure they can get to Sora on the other side is...
DEMYX!
That's right you heard me, right. I said Demyx of all people. But will the laziest member of the former Organization be able to complete his mission. Can the guardians get to Sora and the others in time? Can Sora unite the others to fight Brainiac when all seems lost? Plus, you don't want to miss what Ava tells the heroes. If you're all wondering how she even got there... well... all will be revealed in the next chapter! I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Be sure to leave a review. And if you haven't already be sure to follow and fav. as well. See you real soon!
