As the three appeared in Space Paranoid, a green and purple blast whizzed by Sam's ear. She ducked, and suddenly had a random thought.

This is like playing Doom, the way Danny does!

Sora summoned his Keyblade, which has been changed, just like the three, and spun around to face where the blast had come from. Floating there was the figure in the white cloak.

"You!" Sora exclaimed.

"Who are you!?" Sam demanded.

"He said he was called Phoenix…" Tron said, coming to stand next to Sora. The young boy looked over and saw that his friend looked tired. Worn out. "Are you okay!?" He demanded. Tron nodded and looked back up at the cloaked figure. Like every other human who entered Space Paranoid, the figure had changed too. His cloak was like a second skin, and there were green lines running through it. Phoenix scoffed, then totally diapered.

"Okay… that was weird…" Sam said, letting her guard drop slightly.

"He probably retreated back to the IO Tower, where he has been tampering with the Town's files." Tron warned.

"Then that's where we gotta go!" Sora said, starting forward, when Neosouls suddenly appeared, surrounding the group. Sora cursed, not liking the situation one bit.

Phoenix walked calmly into the middle of the IO Tower, looking up at the large screen.

"Let's see… What does this do?" He wondered, stepping forward to the keyboard type thing and going to select a function he hadn't tried yet. Just before he could select it though, Xehanort spoke from behind him.

"Now how did you manage to get yourself trapped in this pathetic excuse for a world?"

"I didn't get myself trapped." Phoenix lied easily, not turning to face him. "But I have been wrecking havoc on Radiant Gardens…"

"I see, and I'm proud of your resourcefulness." Phoenix was surprised by the praise, so used to the coldness Xehanort showed towards him. "But for now, we must get back to the real world, before that security program and the Keyblade master catch up with you."

Phoenix nodded and turned away from the keyboard, but not before selecting the program. "Alright, fine." He said. When he turned around again, there was no Xehanort, but a dark portal the man must have left open for him. He walked through.

Sora, Tron, and the girls managed to get to the IO Tower with minimal trouble (after Sora used cure on Tron). When they got there, they found no Phoenix, but something that scared Tron far worse. He stared up at the screen with an appalled look on his face.

Sora looked from the screen to Tron, and back. "What is it!? What's wrong!?" He demanded.

"I had thought that they were derezzed… permanently!" He stammered in horror.

"Who?" Sora demanded again.

"Sark and the… MCP. They were never derezzed… just… put in quarantine! Phoenix had NO CLUE what he was messing with!" Tron said. Sora's eyes widened, remembering Tron's old adversaries.

"We need to get rid of them!" He said. Tron nodded, but the look on his face was grim.

"They'll be more powerful then last time. And they'll want revenge." He warned, walking quickly for the door. Sora shrugged.

"Like that has stopped me, at all, with anything before?" He muttered.

"Wait, the MCP? What's that?" Sam asked, totally confused.

"The Master Control Program. It tried to blow up the town last time it was around, and lock off all information to Users, like you guys." Tron explained.

"Oh…"

"And Sark was his right-hand man. He'll be working for the MCP again." Sora sighed. Sam nodded again.

"How'd you two get rid of them last time?" Kairi asked.

"Cid had made a program for it." Sora mused, then looked up at Tron. "Do you still have it?"

"Yes, and that's how we will get rid of them this time. But this time, I'll make sure they are gone. Mark my words." He said fiercely as the four stepped into the Solar Sailor bay. There, more Neosouls appeared. The group all pulled out their weapons and readied themselves for a fight all the way to The Central Computer Core.

Skyline: Okay, Space Paranoid is probably going to be only two or three chapters long. This was one of my least favorite worlds, but it just sorta fit, in my opinion. So yeah.

Roan: Wow… Xehanort was actually… nice.

Skyline: Hey, he's a man of many surprises : )

D.M: Yeah…
