AN: This one came to me when I was falling asleep. It freaked me out, and I knew it fit well. Well, I hope you like it. I might be less prompt with these, because I'm working on something personal. But never fear I will keep this in my mind and do my best to keep up with it.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, but if all goes according to plan…

Endsville
Sora had always been one to believe that everyone had at least a little bit of light as well as darkness in their hearts. Donald and Goofy both agreed with him, and it was something he lived with. Of course, that would only apply if the person had a heart to begin with.
He had also never met the Grim Reaper in his life. Though Hades came fairly close to that title. But after he had actually met the one of the current world, he knew sometimes you couldn't go with the stories one hundred percent.
When he had encountered the huge army of heartless when he first arrived in the new world he knew things were going to be pretty bad there. He also surmised that after he saw them form a freaking army march he figured someone with a really dark heart was controlling them.
It wasn't until later that he met some characters who he was pretty sure would traumatize him for the rest of his life. Because let's face it, when in all his previous adventures and the ones to come would he meet the Grim Reaper and not die?
Though, he wasn't quite what the keybearer expected. The Grim Reaper looked like he should, though he spoke in a prominent Jamaican accent and seemed a little whiny. However, Grim had offered to help Sora find the person who was in control of the heartless.
"'Da one you're looking for is 'da one I have been forced into friendship with." He said sourly.
This piece of information shocked Sora.
"Force into friendship? That's stupid!" He said, no one should be forced into that.
Grim took on a depressed face, (for a skeleton anyway) "But we have an iron tight contract. I was beaten in that limbo game and I'm forced to spend the rest of my life with a total buffoon and the incarnation of evil!"
"Come on Grim," Goofy chimed in, "They can't be that bad."
All he got in return was a really foul look and a glum order to fellow them.
The personification of the state of non-being (death) had led them to a rather frightening looking castle. It was textbook bad guy, it even had the dark clouded ambiance. The trio of other worlders really had to wonder just who it was that had the pure darkness to pull something like this off.
A few flashy swings of Grim's magic scythe and they were in. It wasn't much friendlier on the inside, with near-black hallways and the smell of rotting worms.
"Okay, I've done what I can for now." Grim told them, "But we just gotta be quiet so he aren't heard by-"
"HI GRIM!"
They all leapt four feet in the air at the sound of a young boy. He was short with a big nose and wore a striped shirt and pants and a red cap. For some reason his tongue was sticking out of his mouth. Grim was not amused.
"Billy!" He hissed, "What are ya doing here you boob?"
"I dunno." Billy said, "I was just following the black things."
Sora gasped, "You mean the heartless?"
The idiot shrugged and started to pick his nose, "I dunno, I guess. But look!" He pulled a heartless from behind his back and held it by the head. "Dad said I could keep it! I'm gonna name it Patrick!"
He gave it a squeeze, and Sora was sure he heard it pleasing for death.
Donald pushed BIlly away, "There's no time for that now, we gotta find the lord of this castle."
"Now now, Mr. Duck" a sudden voice rang through the halls, "There's no need to look for me."
At the sound of the voice, Grim suddenly shrank, Dona;d and Goofy shook, and even Sora felt a little scared. That voice sounded…female. Well, he knew some pretty mean girls in his adventures.
"Show yourself!" He barked, doing a spectacular job at hiding his initial fear.
"Gladly."
A sudden figure loomed out from the shadows, and took the shape of…a little blonde girl. At least, that was what his first impression was. Her pink dress and blonde hair made him think this was a joke, but the look in her eyes told him that she was not someone to mess with, not to mention the effect she had on Grim.
"M-M-Mandy!" He stuttered, "I was j-just-"
"Plotting against me." She said in a slow deadly tone, "You of all people know what happens when you plot against me."
"Y-YOU"RE the one controlling the heartless?" The spiky brunette gaped.
"Yes, yes I am." She glared harder, if that was possible, "And judging by your stupid clothes and hair, you're the person with the keyblade, who can actually stop my army. Well let me tell you I can easily have you eradicated."
Okay, now Sora had to object, "How can you do this, don't you have a heart?"
Billy suddenly appeared next to him, finger still in his nose, "Ah, no. Mandy was born with a big swirling vortex where her heart should be."
She smacked him and took a step closer to Sora, "Now, what should I do with you?" She thought for a while, before snapping her fingers.
At the snap an army of heartless stampeded into the room at full speed. Sora and company had a major feeling of dread, especially at Mandy's next words.
"Get ready Grim, you'll have three new souls to take to the underworld."
They lifted their weapons so as to drive them back and do something about Mandy, but a sudden flash of light blinded them for a split second. The next thing they knew, they were in a quaint looking house.
"Uh, what happened."
Sora stared out the window, "I think that was Grim."
Donald hesitated, "Uh, what do we do now?"
Goofy shrugged, but then noticed something. "Sora, there's a note on your back."
He pulled it off and began to read it aloud, "Key Bearer, don't worry about us. I sent you to Mandy's house where I live, the keyhole is in my trunk which is in the basement, just seal it and leave. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE INSIDE IT! I'll deal with Mandy. Signed Grim."
They all stared at each other and walked around the house. Eventually finding the trunk and dealing with is justly.
--Meanwhile--
Mandy stared at Grim with distain.
"You disappoint me Grim." She drawled, "And now I'll have to deal with you. "
She snapped her fingers.
"Scrub this castle, I want it to sparkle. When you're done, give all my heartless baths."
Grim was going to be sore in the morning.

AN: COP OUT! Mrrgh, this one was tricky. Dealing with Death as a character is tricky, and writing stupid is a challenge, which was a surprise. But Mandy was fun to write, I love the scary characters.
Anyway, please let me know how I did. And the next chapter might take even longer to write and post, due to some projects I'm working on. But this is still very important to me.
