The greedy Heartless Luxord had summoned was already waiting. Standing above the opened chest of cursed pirate gold.

"Go. He's for me." Jack led the creature away from the group. Using himself as a distraction for the others. Sora, Aryon, Donald and Goofy rapidly began picking up pieces of gold hurrying back to the chest. With this, the Grim Reaper returned to its non-powerful state.

"The curse- it's gone!" Donald said.

But Jack was still a skeleton. Goofy was the one who put two and two together. "Aw, I understand." Goofy said. "Jack musta been cursed by that monster, not from takin' the gold."

The captain slumped his shoulders. "Oh then I've no worries then." He grumbled.

"It's okay, Jack. We'll just have to defeat the monster, that's all." Sora clapped a hand on his shoulder.

"LOOK OUT!"

Aryon was the first to jump out of the way when the Grim Reaper slammed its Ax down only to dig into the ground. Missing Aryon just by a few inches. Crap that was a little too close for comfort swallowing when they see the Grim Reaper return to its cursed state. "Get the gold!"

Magic was the only way to combat against the creature. The Heartless grew more and more restless. Sora had picked up the last of the gold when he was suddenly knocked back off of his feet. Gold flying out of his hands.

"Goofy throw them in the chest!" Aryon called. Ducking and dodging trying to distract the Heartless with Jack and Donald.

Goofy ran for the chest blocking a wind attack with his shield dumping the gold quickly inside.

Sora finally gathered from his stunned state.

Aryon fought side by side his friends until the Heartless made of greed and avarice finally met his end. Jack was back to his human self, kissing the back of his human hand.

"All better."

"Aye, not quite lad."

Luxord emerged from his dark portal. The pink shimmering heart floating right into his open hand. "Sora, Aryon: Bravo." The group ran over but he was already gone. Aryon kept an eye out for Axel but he had gone as well it seemed.

"Just who was that chap?" Jack asked.

"He's part of an Organization that's collecting hearts." Sora said. "First, they release Heartless into different worlds." Sora began.

"Then they get the hearts. We're never gonna stop 'em like this..." Aryon sighed heavily. Pinching the bridge of his nose in a very Leon like fashion.

After they dumped the last of the entire chest of gold into the depths of the sea Sora, Aryon, Donald and Goofy began saying their farewells to their new friends. "You stay out of trouble now captain." Donald grinned.

"Aye, eye." Jack rolled his eyes chuckling after. Interesting bunch he thought. "And I'll be back to take that lovely blade of Sora's. Yours to, Aryon."

"Heh we'd like to see you try." Aryon grinned. Giving him a salute.

Coming aboard the Gummi Ship, Aryon sat beside Sora in the front. His mind riddled with many a thought. The Organization…Xemnas…just why did they want Kingdom Hearts so bad? So desperate to send their own members on basically suicide missions. And that Axel. He seemed to have his own agenda.

His eyes beginning to droop, Aryon leant back in his seat. Closing his eyes. Feeling the back of Sora's hand against his cheek.

"Get some rest, Aryon. You really earned it."

Aryon doesn't fight sleep this time. He welcomed it with open arms.
