A/N: Ever since I posted that last chapter I realized that I made a mistake and I would like to correct myself.

Deep Jungle is not the worst Kingdom Hearts world.

That honour goes to KH2 Atlantica.

My personal bias towards DJ is from the fact that I kept going back and forth not knowing what to do, and then once I DID figure it out...I had to keep going back and forth anyway, it got annoying the first time I played it. XD

It was Sora's time to shine. It was his time to save the world by doing what only he could do.

COLLECT THE SLIDES.

Except he couldn't. Because, well, there was none there. But Sora didn't know that. To navigate through this dense jungle he had to do lots of platforming, unfortunately the game's controls didn't really help with that (that was his excuse for being bad at it, and he was sticking to it).

He remembered when he always lost to Riku when it came to anything that wasn't pressing a button on a controller. Sora could at least take comfort in the fact that he is without a doubt the best gamer on Destiny Islands.

Then again he was literally living in one.

"Sliding doooown, to get the sliiiiiides!" Sora sang, which made the birds flying above him drop dead. Singing was never his strong point.

"And my heeeeeeart will go oooooon!"

The wildlife around him started dying, becoming grey and rotten.

"AND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEIIIIIIIIIIII WILL ALWAAAAAAYS ENJOY PLAYING YOUUUUUUU!"

As he made it to the hippo lagoon, they all screamed (can a hippo even scream) in terror and tried to drown themselves. ANything to block out the sound of Sora's singing, even if it meant knocking on death's door.

Sora sighed as he had no means to get across.

"Awww now how am I supposed to get across?"

Sora then looked directly towards you, hoping to get an answer.

"Do you know how I could get across?" Sora asked you.

"Hello? Are you there? Ugh, dammit, how does Dora the Explorer do it?! Ah well, I am the main character! I can figure it out on my own."

He felt a little better as he remembered that in every game there is always a way to get across, and that it can't just leave you stuck unless the game was poorly. Then again this game has been one of rather questionable quality, so who knew.

He looked around and he found some vines to climb on.

"Yes! I have found the solution!" he said to himself gleefully. With that he made it to the next map, the treetops.

His next opponent? Vines.

Anxiety suddenly overtook Sora's mind. He couldn't climb ropes let alone swing on vines, and Sora's skinny un-athletic body left a lot to be desired. What if he missed and fell, and severely injured himself? How would he find Riku and save the worlds from DARKNESS! if he was on crutches or in a wheelchair?

He then laughed it off as he remembered that he was a video game character and that he wouldn't need to worry about it, doing the impossible only takes a press of a button.

Wait...Sora thought. I wonder if there's a button that'll make me fly…

And so he swung across the vines, until…

Come on Sora, you do can do this, said Sora to himself as an act of self-motivation. Just press the button at the right time, and…

Sora did so, flinging himself at the next vine putting his life on the line.

"I'm gonna make it! I'm gonna make it!"

And make it he did!

...Not.

Sora opened his eyes, feeling no pain whatsoever after that dangerous fall. It was just like when Dolan pushed him out of the Gummi Ship, he actually enjoyed that fall since he was incapable of feeling physical pain outside of battles.

"Ok so I'm not dead...where am I?"

He looked around and he realized that he was sent back to the beginning.

"OH MY GOD THAT'S EVEN WORSE!" Sora whined impatiently, groaning as he desperately just wanted to get to the next submap to find these damn slides.

Eventually he bypassed the vines and made to a green and luscious area full of flowers. Since the flowers in Wonderland gave Sora munny in exchange for items (after that Dolan called Sora a prostitute), Sora wondered if the flowers here would do anything interesting too.

He pressed the triangle button to interact with them, wondering what they did. And once he did, it somehow triggered a cutscene.

"You don't know how trapped you are, boy…"

Sora titled his head a little, confused.

"Then why am I the one moving around and you're the one stuck on the ground."

"You think you're so clever with your fancy rhyming. But you belong to the jungle now…"

"Excuse me?"

"All visitors to this place are doomed to wander it's submaps forever, never to return…"

"I can leave anytime I want to though!"

"Foolish boy...as long as you're here, you'll never progress with the main story. You're doomed I tell you. DOOMED!"

"But I'm so close to finding those slides! I can feel it!"

"Tell me though...do the slides really exist?"

"Huh?"

"Are you sure that Jane hasn't sent you on a wild goose-chase?"

"What's a goose?"

"You really are hopeless. No wonder I have to intervene to help you."

"Who are you anyway?"

"I am the author. I have taken the form of this flower to interact with you, a deus ex machina if you will. Because if I didn't, then we'd never actually get anywhere with the story. Don't you know how many games I have yet to cover after this one? What am I saying, of course you don't."

"I don't understand..."

"And you never will. Anyway, Jane is lying to you. There are no slides. She just sent you into the jungle to die so that you would leave her alone."

"That's ridiculous! An NPC would never do that!"

"But that was how I wrote her, dear boy. Anyway, now that we're talking and all, umm...I just want to say that you're adorable. Like, really adorable."

"Uhh...thanks?"

"You're welcome, cutie~ Also if you want you can cast magic on me. It doesn't really do anything but...I don't know I guess it's kinda cool. I should go now anyway and continue writing this chapter. Or look at Sora fanart."

And with that, the flower remained silent, and Sora ended up contemplating about a ot of things.

Who was that talking to Sora just now? Could it be that he knew things about Sora that he himself didn't know. Is he some kind of god?

Jane would never lie to him...would he? She's a Disney character, who are never evil unless they're actually evil. He's been watching Disney movies all his life and Jane doing something like that would be really out of character…

What if Jane is another victim of the darkness? I mean, the DARKNESS?!

But what if the author is just trying to mess with his head and she's not actually turned bad at all?

There were so many questions with no answers in sight...but Sora knew what he had to do. He would have to find Jane and confront her. Surely once he did he'd fight the boss of this world and all would be well again immediately afterwards. That's usually how things worked in video games. Yay for violence!

Sora finally made it to the tree house. He wanted to explore every inch of the map, but since his jump wasn't high enough he couldn't reach every area. That would mean coming back to this world...or so he thought.

He looked around and he was shocked as the tiger that he killed was still there, covered in blood with flies swarming around it's insides. That's odd...usually when enemies die they leave once you change submaps. How would this even be possible? Not to mention that the wounds were very detailed and realistic. It was as if all of this was actually real.

Anyway, after a mini-game which was kinda cool, Sora did what he seemed to be doing a lot of in this world: falling.

He didn't even bother screaming at this point since this was a regular everyday occurrence for him. In his dreams he even fell upwards, something that he didn't even know was possible.

As always, he miraculously landed on the soles of his oversized shoes, which would probably be very ineffective if you were actually exploring a jungle. He made it back to the campsite, where he could confront Jane and find out the truth. And if necessary, kill her.

"Jane? Jane? Where are you?"

The place was completely deserted. No Heartless, no Jane, and no memes anywhere.

"...Hello? Anyone?"

Still no one. Maybe he needed to backtrack a few more times to trigger the right cutscene?

"Hey...Jane...I don't know if you can hear me. But I was exploring this jungle and then some flower NPC talked to me. He said that you were lying about there being slides, and that you were just trying to get rid of me. Now I don't think that's true, but if it is then the only logical conclusion I can make is that you're evil and I have to kill you."

He continued looking around the campsite, hoping to find someone, anyone really. Maybe they were all just hiding to throw Sora a surprise party? They'd have confetti and balloons and cake and it would be so fun, if Riku was there he'd probably be angsting on his own because he's a socially awkward cutie.

"Hello? Darkness? Come out come out wherever you OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL?!"

Sora was shocked as he saw Jane's dead body lying on the ground, covered in what appeared to be blood…

"Her whole chest seems to be covered in raspberry jam! ...Oh wait, I think she's dead."

Clayton turned towards Sora, surprised at his nonchalant attitude towards the whole thing.

"Maybe she's not dead?"

"I don't know...she seems pretty dead."

Dolan and Gooby suddenly appeared from out of nowhere, observing the situation.

"Garwsh, Jane is dead!" Gooby recapped.

"Shame. She was going to be my wife," Dolan lamented.

Clayton then shot them both in the head, everyone happy that the two most annoying characters in this fanfic are finally dead. However, they were memes, and thus they never died.

"Ouch. That mildly hurt slighty," Dolan mocked.

"I KNEW IT! You were evil all along!" screamed Sora, summoning his weapon.

"Well evil is rather complicated, not everything is all black and white-"

Clayton was interrupted by Tarzan's sudden appereance, who was also ready to fight. And, surprisingly, he actually said human words!

"Not Clayton!"

"...I beg your pardon?"

"Not Clayton! Not Clayton!"

Sora just sighed, placing his hand on his forehead which was covered by his overly spiky hair. Why was it that all his party members had such poor AI? Whoever programmed it should be fired.

"Tarzan, that is Clayton!"

"Not Clayton!"

"Well, if it's not Clayton, then who is it?" asked Sora aggresively, getting frustrated.

To their surprise, Clayton just smirked, spreading his arms villainously and cackling manicially at the sky. Sora was ready to kill, and Tarzan backed away in fear.

"So...you finally have it figured out."

Dark aura started to surround the hunter, and he started to float in the air. Clearly none of these were good signs.

"Your friend is right, Sora. I am Not Clayton."

"...What?"

"As I was saying, I am Not Clayton."

"I know, but are you saying that you aren't Clayton or is Not Clayton your na-"

"I AM AN EMISSARY OF THE DARKNESS! I WILL CONSUME THIS WORLD AND ALL WHO INHABIT IT! FEAR ME, AND SUBMIT TO MY WILL!"

His words weren't particularly threatening since this world was pretty much empty with Jane dead. But they still struck fear in Sora's heart, this was his first true trial.

"You'll never win! As long as light prevails, all darkness will be...dammit I forgot what I wanted say!" Sora whined. He had dozens of speeches inspired by shonen anime for the day when he would finally run into a badass supervillain that threatened to destroy the world. That fall he had earlier must have messed with his memories a little. Screw you continuity!

The dark aura around Clayton became even more dark and aura-ish.

"You fools. Soon you shall perish! Once I am done with you the only words that will come out of your mouth will be...none! Because you will be dead! And you will no longer be able to speak! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!"

The ground began to shake, and the world was slowly beginning to deteriorate around everyone, leaving Sora, Dolan and Gooby in a state of fear and panic.

"Oh no…" whispered Dolan.

"Dolan? What's wrong?"

"This...this is worse than the darkness."

"But Dolan! What could be worse than the DARKNESS?!"

"DISNEY LOST THE RIGHTS TO TARZAN!"

Sora and Gooby gasped in horror, as Not Clayton laughed villainously in the background.

"Don't you see, Sora? The eternal darkness affects even copyright law, the very thing that binds the worlds together! Not even the most expensive lawyers can undo it's iron-clad regulations!"

"He's right!" Dolan panicked. "We have to get out of here now!"

"I concur! We gotta hightail it outta here, hyuck!"

"B-but, we need to face the DARKNESS! I can take it!"

"You fool, if we don't leave here now, we'll dissappear just like this world!"

Sora was very conflicted. He had a job to do, which was to save the world from the darkness. He was bound by it, it was the only thing that gave his existence meaning...if he couldn't do that, what could he do?

But Dolan was right. Everything from this world was being completely erased, almost like it never existed. Sora could feel himself be erased as well, if he was gone then who would take on the task in his place? He was the main character, this was his fight.

He felt terrible about it, but he had no choice but to run away from the wreckage and flee back to the Gummi Ship, hearing Not Clayton's taunting laughs behind him as the world was close to being erased.

Thankfully the three made it out in time, the world itself wasn't so lucky. Because just like that…

It was gone.

Deep Jungle was destroyed, never to return.

Sora had failed.

The orange robed figure laughed ominously, rubbing his sleeves together. Destroying a world always felt so satisfying. The only thing missing was a suitable body to do it with…

"Ah, Clayton," the figure reminisced. "Unfortunately, your body was incredibly unsatisfying. For a brief possession, it was passable, but I am seeking a more...permanent living space. None of these unattractive common men will ever be enough to fulfill my needs..."

His thoughts wondered off to Riku. That sweet, beautiful boy...he was delectable, from the moment he first met him he wanted nothing more than to enter that godlike body of his. He was truly the perfect candidate. However, now was not the time for that glorious moment. He had to wait and play each card just right to finally get Riku to cooperate.

"With the darkness on my side, my aspirations will finally be realized...Riku. You will be mine. And the darkness shall RULE OVER ALL THINGS! SUBMIT TO IT, SINK INTO THE DARKEST DEPTHS AND WITNESS IT'S INCOMPREHENSIBLE MAJESTY! PRAISE BE TO THE DARKNESS! PRAISE BE TO THE DARKNEEEEESS!"

"Mommy look!" a child shouted from the distance as the robed figure kept on loudly proclaiming his love towards the darkness. "A weird robed guy is shouting at the sky!"

"This is why you should stay in school," the mother said, keeping her child away from the creepy figure as they both walked away

The robed figure was immediately outraged, offended by her coldness and her rude words. He placed his arms on his hips and continued rambling even after both the child and the mother were gone.

"HEY! YOU WON'T BE SAYING THAT ONCE THE DARKNESS TAKES YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES! AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THERE WERE NO SCHOOLS WHERE I GREW UP! SO THERE! Ugh, I hope the darkness feasts on your organs first."
