Author's Note: What's up guys! TDDolphin here to give you the next chapter of the incredible story, Kingdom Hearts: Cody's Story. This time it's back to Traverse Town to see what the deal is with the two gummi pieces they've found so far.

Before we start, I would like to let you guys know that, unfortunately I'm not going to include the search for the dalmatian puppies in this story. As much as I love 101 Dalmatians, I feel like their plot point would be a bit complicated for me to write. I'm sorry to anyone that wanted to see that part. Also, there's a surprise for Cody, Bridgette, Lindsay and Noah when they get back.

Well, enjoy Chapter 14.

Chapter 14 - Back to Traverse Town

Gummi Ship

Cody was looking at the two gummi pieces in his hand. He had just connected the two halves they had found in Wonderland and Middleton to make one whole piece. Bridgette and Lindsay were gazing down at the gummi pieces as well, while Noah piloted the gummi ship.

"So, what do think these gummi pieces are for Colby?" the white mage asked the keybearer.

Cody shrugged, brushing off that Lindsay got his name wrong. "I don't know Lindsay. But, I figured since both the pieces and the ship both have gummi in it, they might have some connection."

"You're probably right." said Noah. "You said that Cid would want to see any gummi pieces we find right?"

"Yeah." agreed Cody. "I think we should go ahead and head back to Traverse Town."

"We can see how Leon and the others are doing as well." added Bridgette.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's punch it!"

Lindsay punched the arm of her seat, a second later she cried out and held her sore hand.

"Uhh. Why did you punch your seat?" Bridgette asked awkwardly.

"Cody said to punch it." Lindsay responded. Noah smacked his forehead.

Traverse Town - First District

It had taken a while to get back, but Cody, Bridgette, Noah and Lindsay had finally landed in Traverse Town. They now stood in the First District.

"Wow, it looks the same as when we left it." stated Cody.

"We weren't away long Cody." Noah pointed out.

"Good point." admitted Cody. "Well, let's go to the Accessory Shop."

The four teens walked down the square, past the light posts, past the mailbox and up the stairs and walked into the Accessory Shop. The fire in the fireplace still roared hot. Cid turned around to see who had walked in.

"Well, if it ain't the kid from earlier." said Cid.

"I told you, my name is Cody!" said an annoyed Cody.

Cid chuckled. "Don't worry, I remember." he noticed the other three. "So who are your friends?"

"I'm Bridgette." the surfer girl introduced. "And this is Noah and Lindsay."

"So you found some of your friends eh? That's good." stated Cid. "So, what brings you kids to my shop today?"

"We found some gummi pieces while we were travelling." answered Lindsay. "Cory said that you wanted to see any that we might find."

Cody took the two pieces out of his pouches and handed them to Cid. The shopkeeper inspected both pieces. After a minute he said "Well, ain't that interesting."

"What kind are they?" asked a curious Cody. Cid looked at them in disbelief.

"What! You're kiddin' me! You four are flyin' around in a gummi ship and don't know nothin' about navigation gummis?"

The four teens shook their heads. "Nope, should we have?" Noah asked dryly.

Cid grabbed his forehead. "Bunch of pinheads. Interspace ain't no playground."

"There's a lot we don't know." Noah responded. "Particularly Lindsay."

"Hey!" Lindsay said indignantly.

"Please Cid. We need the ship to explore the worlds so we can find the king and our friends." pleaded Bridgette. "We don't have a choice."

"Whoa! easy girlie!" Cid stated. "I didn't know. No hard feelings all right?" The four teens nodded, and Cid continued. "Well, I guess I can lend ya'll a hand."

"Thanks Cid." Cody smiled appreciatively.

"Sure thing. Now, basically with navigation gummis, you can go to new places." Cid explained holding up the yellow-aqua piece. Then he held up the second piece. "This other piece is a warp gummi piece. With this, you'll be able to warp to worlds you've already been to."

"Wow, that'll come in real handy." said Noah.

"It sure will." replied Cid. He addressed the keybearer. "You want these on your ship right?"

"Yes please." Cody answered happily.

"Alright, I'll install it for you." Cody took the capsule that carried the gummi ship out of his pocket and handed it to Cid. "While I do this, I got a favor to ask you. Could ya'll deliver something for me?"

"Sure Cid, what is it?" inquired Bridgette.

The shopkeeper brought out a book from behind the counter. "Just this book." he handed it to Cody. It had a brown cover, and there was nothing written on it. "It's real old." continued Cid. "When the guy brought it in, it was practically falling apart. Too beat up for me to do much, but I did a decent job putting it back together."

"Alright, where do you want us to take it?" Cody asked.

"To the old house past the Third District. Look for a door with fire drawn on it. When you're done, stop by the house in the Third District. I'll be there."

"Wow, I didn't know there was a Third District in Traverse Town." Bridgette stated.

"Okay, we will. Thanks a lot, Cid."

"Sure thing." then he smirked. "Good luck kids." The four teens looked a bit put off at that.

Traverse Town - Second District

The four teens had just entered the next district. Cody had already seen it, so he didn't really look around at the shops and the bell tower in the distance. Bridgette, Lindsay and Noah however looked all around at the shopping district. Lindsay's eyes lit up.

"Ahhh, look at all the shops!" she squealed happily. "Oh, can we go shopping for a bit before we deliver that book?"

"No, we better hurry and deliver the book." Cody told her. "Cid said that he'd be waiting for us after all."

"Cody's right." Bridgette said to the white mage. "We'll have plenty of time afterward for shopping."

"Oh yay." Lindsay cheered, clapping excitedly.

Suddenly, they heard a sound coming from behind the railing. They ran and looked down to see a fountain on the wall they were looking down. In front of the fountain were a group of Heartless. There were four Soldiers, a Red Nocturne, a Blue Rhapsody and a Yellow Opera. The four teens summoned their weapons.

Cody jumped off the railing and killed the Blue Rhapsody with one slash. The other three had jumped down as well. Lindsay used her reflect shield on the Soldier that was attacking her. When it was stunned Bridgette followed up with her geyser that destroyed the Heartless. Noah shot an ice blast at the Red Nocturne that defeated it. Bridgette defeated the Yellow Opera, while Cody and Lindsay each killed a Soldier, and with one last fireball Noah finished off the last enemy.

"Whoo, yeah!" cheered Lindsay, high-fiving the surfer girl, while Cody and Noah fist bumped. There celeration was cut short however when three Large Bodies appeared. They appeared farther down the road, and were waddling toward the teens.

"Great, there's three of these things now!" Noah complained.

"Don't worry guys, I've got this." Cody told them. He ran at the Heartless.

"Cody! What are you doing?!" Bridgette shouted fearfully.

Cody however, had a plan. He jumped high into the air and came down in the middle of all three Heartless. He brought his keyblade up, which began to glow. Before the Large Bodies could turn to face him, he shouted "Sonic Blade!"

Using the technique he learned in the Deep Jungle. Cody dashed and thrusted hard at one of the Heartless, then he moved quickly to the enemy next to it. He then charged at the third Large Body. Each one took heavy damage from the keybearer's strikes. Cody continued the pattern and attacked each Large Body with powerful strike. With his last and most powerful slash he wiped out all three Large Bodies with one hit.

Cody panted, trying to catch his breath, but he was grinning too. "Wow, it actually worked! Sweet!"

Cody walked back over to his three guardians, who looked at him in awe. He didn't know why they looked shocked. They had seen him use the sonic blade before.

"That. Was. Brilliant." Noah stammered with his mouth wide open.

"Oh, it was nothing." the keybearer said, flashing a rather cocky grin and resting his keyblade on his shoulder.

"Cody that was amazing." said Bridgette in awe. "Did you really plan that?"

"Well, honestly, I wasn't sure if it would work or not." Cody admitted, blushing in embarassment.

"Mmhm. Thought so." Noah stated with a smirk.

Lindsay rolled her eyes playfully. But as she did this she looked into the sky and saw something large falling toward them. She looked at the falling object in horror.

"Guys! Look out!" She screamed, running out of the way. The others looked up and moved out of the way as well. They looked back and saw a very large Heartless standing in front of the fountain.

The Hearless stood at least twenty feet tall. It wore a large circular helmet on it's head. It had an hourglass-shaped purple body that had the Heartless crest on it. The strange part of it was that it didn't have arms or legs. It's armored gloves and boots just seemed to hover without the use of limbs.

"Whoa, that's a really, really big Heartless." Bridgette said to Cody.

"Yeah, I don't think my sonic blade will work on that thing." the keybearer admitted timidly.

The Guard Armor began swiping at the teens. Cody and Bridgette ducked the attack, which just barely missed them. The two then got to their feet, ran at the Heartless and started slashing at the torso. Noah began firing spells at it too.

After about a minute of slashing, the arms and legs broke apart and flew in opposite directions. The feet started walking on their own, as the claws began swiping at the four junior heroes.

"What the heck!" Bridgette exclaimed with wide eyes. "Does it's arms and legs have brains of their own?!"

The legs had walked over to where Lindsay was standing. She summoned her shield when the feet prepared to kick her. However, the impact had sent her flying into Bridgette. The two lay on the ground dazed.

"Bridgette! Lindsay!" shouted Noah worriedly. One of the hands swatted at him while he wasn't looking, sending him to where the two girls were.

"Guys!" Cody screamed. Then something heavy dropped down behind him. Cody turned around to see the whole torso had slammed into the ground and was now hovering. It tilted back so that it's lower abdomen faced the keybearer. There was nothing there except for a large dark hole.

Cody gulped. He was frightened now. His guardians were sprawled out on the ground struggling to get up. He stood alone watching as the Guard Armor's torso started to glow. The arms and legs stood stationary. The light from the lower torso was getting bigger. Cody closed his eyes and brought his keyblade up to brace himself.

The Heartless fired the shot. But someone appeared in front of Cody and blocked the blast with a large shield. The force of it still sent Cody flying back to where Noah, Lindsay and Bridgette layed.

Suddenly, three silver arrows shot at both pairs of boots. The arrows were followed by a large ax that slashed the left then right boots, destroying them. A large shuriken then sliced through both arms, destroying them as well. The torso then began to spin very fast. The one with the shield threw it at the Guard Armor, which stopped it from spinning and left it sitting there dazed.

Cody looked up to see a shadowy figure standing in front of him. Four more shadowy figures then appeared and started slashing their swords and ax at the Heartless, followed by more arrows hitting the torso. After a barrage of attacks from the mysterious figures, the Guard Armor was finally destroyed. A large Heart flew into the sky and vanished.

Cody got to his feet, he still couldn't see who they were, but he counted seven people. One of them threw four small, sphere-shaped objects into the air, which burst after a few seconds. Suddenly, the tech geek felt a strange sensation go through him. His injured shoulder, which he landed on a minute ago, was completely healed. His guardians also felt the same feeling. All four had gotten up and looked at each other with confused looks.

"What happened?" a confused Lindsay asked her friends. "I feel completely fine now."

"Hey ya'll! Long time no see!" said a female voice close to them.

Cody froze, so did the others. They recognized that voice. They turned and looked at the girl who greeted them. She had dark skin, black hair and was rather heavy set. She held a large red and black circular shield. The four teens looked at her with a mixture of shock and happiness.

"Leshawna!" they cried out happily, getting to their feet.

"What's up guys." Leshawna said happily. Bridgette ran and hugged her good friend, who returned the hug. "Hey there baby, glad to see you're all right."

"I can't believe that you're okay." Bridgette told her. Cody, Lindsay and Noah walked over to the large sister.

"Yeah, we've been everywhere looking for you and the others." added Cody, shaking Leshawna's hand.

"Yeah, well look no further, cause it's just not me here sugar." Leshawna turned her head to look at her comrads. The others looked where she looked as well.

"No way!" Lindsay yelled with glee.

Standing behind Leshawna were six more of their friends from Total Drama Island. Owen, Izzy, Trent, DJ, Harold and-"

"Tyler!" the white mage cried happily. The jock looked over at Lindsay with a smile and a wave. She ran and tackled him to ground, arms wrapped tightly around his neck. "I finally found you! Oh I missed you so much!"

"Hey Linds," Tyler replied, hugging his girl while still on the ground. "I missed you too."

The other six came over to the group.

"Noah!" Owen cried, dropping his ax and lifting Noah into a huge bearhug. "I missed ya buddy."

"Too... tight... spine... breaking." Noah grunted in pain from his friend's hug.

Bridgette and Lindsay were now giving DJ, Owen and Harold very long hugs, while Trent greeted Cody with a high five.

"It's good to see you man." Trent told Cody.

"You too." Cody replied, elated to see that they had finally found some of their friends. "Man, what are you guys doing here?"

"Oh we've been here." Izzy quickly answered, grabbing Cody's shoulders from behind. "We all crash landed here after the resort blew up. You should of seen it, it was sooo coool."

"How's the fact that our world was destroyed cool?" Harold asked the crazy redhead, he walked over and fist bumped Cody.

After everybody hugged and high-fived each other, Cody, Noah, Lindsay and Bridgette had gotten together while the other seven grouped together. Looking more closely, Cody and the other three noticed that each of the others was holding a weapon. Leshawna had her shield, Trent held a sword with a blue blade, Owen had a large silver ax, Izzy had a silver bow and quiver of silver arrows, Harold had a large four-bladed shuriken, DJ held a large, orange-bladed, two-hand sword and Tyler held a normal shortsword.

"Did you guys heal us?" Lindsay asked.

"Yeah, I used four potions on you guys." answered Harold. "A potion heals people here, like in-"

"Warriors of Lordia?" Bridgette finished. Harold looked stunned that the surfer girl knew what WoL was. "I play occasionally." she added. Harold's mouth hung open.

"Woow." he oggled.

"Anyway. When did you guys get here?" Noah asked them.

"The same time as you." DJ answered. "We all landed in the Third District. Leon found us after we were cornered by the Heartless."

The four teens mouths fell open. "You know about the Heartless?" inquired a stunned Cody.

"Uh huh." stated Owen. "Leon told us everything after saving us."

"He found us right after you guys left." continued Tyler. "He told us that you guys went off to another world to prepare to look for us."

"Sorry guys, but we've been here the whole time." Izzy added. "We've been helping Leon fight the baddies here. He gave us our weapons too, aren't they cool." she asked them, putting an arrow in her quiver and pulling back on the string. The others freaked out and covered their heads with their arms.

"Put that thing away before you kill someone!" Leshawna snapped. Izzy flushed and put her arrow away.

"Anyway. We we're really touched when we found out you guys were trying to find us." DJ continued from where they left off.

Cody smiled, then he looked down. He was happy that they had found seven of their friends, but there was one person who he wanted to be here that wasn't. He looked at the others and noticed that Bridgette also looked troubled. Then he spoke to Leshawna.

"So, have you guys... run into any of the others while you've been here?"

Leshawna looked down rather glumly, so did Trent and DJ. Owen replied "Sorry dude, but we haven't seen any of them."

"But hey, Aerith said that if you restore our world everyone will return there." said Harold, trying to lift everyones spirits. "Have you seen anyone else?"

Cody hesitated, looking at his guardians before telling them. "Well, we found Heather."

"Really?" Leshawna muttered darkly. "And where is miss bitchy mcbitch shorts?"

"We don't know." Noah answered. "But we know that she's working with the Heartless, and someone named Maleficent."

"What!" everyone shouted in shock. Then Owen yelled "Heather's working with the Heartless?"

Cody, Bridgette, Noah and Lindsay nodded. Leshawna looked serious for about a second, then her expression changed to one that wasn't surprised.

Yeah, it figures that she would join with them." she said sternly. "That girl's a witch after all."

Everyone laughed, then Trent exclaimed "Oh yeah, speaking of the Heartless, have you guys found any keyholes on your journey so far?"

"Yeah, but how did you know about them?" asked Lindsay.

"Leon told us about them." replied Izzy. "He said that the Heartless enter a world through the keyholes. Once the keyblade locks the keyholes, the Heartless can't enter that world anymore. So Leon wanted you guys to seal the keyholes on each world you go to."

"Yeah, that's one thing we've been doing while travelling." responded Bridgette glumly, feeling upset that Geoff wasn't with them.

"That's good." stated Trent. "So, what brought you guys back here?"

Cody remembered the gummi ship, then he remembered that they were supposed to be delivering something. "Oh yeah, we're supposed to deliver this book to the Third District."

"Really? Alright." stated Leshawna, pointing down an alley to their right. "Just go down that alley and the door to District Three is at the very end."

"Thanks you guys," said Bridgette appreciatively, her spirits lifting a bit, "Both for saving us and the directions."

"It was no trouble." replied DJ. "If you guys ever need us, we're staying in the Second District Hotel. You can find us there."

"Awesome." Noah said in his usual unenthusiastic tone. "Well, we'll be seeing you guys later."

"Yeah, it was great that we found you guys." added Bridgette brightly.

Cody, Bridgette and Noah began walking toward the alley, but Lindsay was looking at Tyler sadly. Then she heard Cody behind her.

"Hey Lindsay, do you and Tyler want to catch up a bit?" he asked the white mage. "The three of us can handle the delivery."

"Really?" Lindsay cried excitedly. "You guys don't mind?"

"No, we'll come get you when we're ready to leave." Bridgette replied with a smile.

Lindsay squealed happily. She ran over and hugged Tyler, who looked excited as well.

Cody and Bridgette smiled at each other. Then they and Noah walked down the alley toward the Third District.

Traverse Town - Third District

The three teens had entered the new area. There was a house to their left. It was probably the one they were supposed to meet Cid in later. They walked down a ramp and looked around. Cody immediately saw a tall pair of double doors to his right. On the wall close by was a keyhole. Cody summoned his keyblade and put it in the hole. He heard a sound come from the doors. He must have unlocked the doors.

"Guys, I found the fire door." Bridgette called to Cody and Noah.

They ran over to where the surfer girl stood. She was standing at the end of a short alley, looking at what looked like a stone door, with writing all over it and a picture of fire in the center.

"Well, let's go." Cody said, walking toward the door.

"But Cody, I-" Bridgette tried to warn him. Too late, Cody walked right smack into the door. He fell onto his back.

"I guess it's locked." concluded Cody. Noah and Bridgette rolled their eyes.

"I was going to tell you that." Bridgette chastised, trying to fight back a giggle.

"So, how do we get in?" inquired Cody, getting back to his feet.

Noah was looking at the writing on the door. "Give me a minute will you." the black mage started reading what was written on the stone. After a minute he nodded.

"Okay. So that's it." he said to himself. Bridgette and Cody looked at each other, they were confused. Before Cody could ask what the bookworm was talking about, Noah shot a fireball at the door.

The stone door started to open, going upwards into the top frame. Once it had opened Noah turned to look at the others. "It opens when someone shoots a fire spell at it."

"Ooooh." exclaimed both teens. Then Cody started walking toward the dark entrance.

"Well, let's go guys." he said excitedly, Bridgette and Noah followed the tech geek into the next area.
