Chapter 24

Unexpected

Everybody but the King had been Virtualized at that point. They waited on the mouse to appear in sector 5 with them, and they did not have to wait long. A outline of the king appeared, which slowly filled. Micky did not change much at all. His Clothes(the same from Kingdom Hearts 2) stayed the same, and he fell down and looked up at everybody.

"Welp, that was interesting." He said.

"It isn't as bad as Ansem's computer either, we need to get these scanners for it." Sora said.

"Guys, the Skid is ready. Move on to the hanger bay." Jeremie told them, his voice coming over the area.

The group nodded and ran out to the waiting elevator. They took it up to the skid, which now had a small compartment sitting on top of were the main cockpit was. The transfer plates had increased in numbers too. It went from five to eight, which everyone took a spot. Micky appeared in the newest compartment; while Sora, Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi took the navskids. Kairi, Aelita, and Riku took the Skid's main cockpit.

"Alright Mickey, where the skid took so much more power it needs two pilots now. Your second Pilot there, In case Aelita becomes unable to pilot. Also you have control of the navskids in a emergency too." Jeremie explained. "Everything else is the same guys, so get to that Ice Replika."

"Got it!" Everyone basically said.

A few minutes later, they arrived in the Digital Sea. The calm blue depths awaited them. It didn't stay blue for long, as soon as they came out of the warp point that came close to the Replika the area turned red.

Aelita released the Navskids while Kairi and Riku readied the main cannons. Sora and the others zoomed off to find the monsters that XANA sent. It didn't take long, for every part of the Skid was soon serounded by several heartless. It was the same ones as Sora found in Atlantica.

"Your kidding! Heartless are here!" Sora cried

"Sora, we need to destroy everyone of them! If they get to Lyoko then it'll be swallowed up!" Mickey told him.

"That should be impossible! Anything that falls into the digital sea is lost except for XANA's monsters he made exquisitely for that area and what is inside a Skid!" Jeremie cried.

"Heartless are beings of Darkness. They got here some other way." Riku said.

"Wait! This is connected to every computer in the world right?" Kairi asked.

"Yeah it is, where are you getting to Kairi?" Jeremie asked.

"Well, what if it is connected to the computers of other worlds too?" Kairi said.

"She has a good point." Mickey said. "That could be why Cid is able to track Heartless and Nobodies across the worlds."

"So, they are coming in from someplace like Ansem's Computer? That isn't good there can be a infinite number here then!" Sora said

"And we only have so much energy here. If we fight them all then we'll be absorbed and lost in the sea!" Aelita said, realizing XANA's new plan.

"No worries. I'll take care of them." A voice came up. Sora recognized that voice.

In the sea, attacking the heartless, was Leon, Yuffie, Merlin, and Tron. Tron used his energy to form a type of bubble around the first group of heartless and the others proceeded to attack them. They all wore the same outfit that Sora had to wear in Tron's world.

"I was able to track you users with Cid's help. It took some time, hacking though this data base but we did it. Go on I can protect them from the sea's harsh effects. I have the magic of this user helping me." Tron told them, working with Merlin as Leon and Yuffie took care of the mass number of Heartless.

"Tron also blocked heartless from entering here again, the heartless where getting out through Ansem's Computer! We'll finish up here and get out of here quickly, so get your work done!" Yuffie told them, cutting through several Heartless with her shuriken.

"Thanks Tron! Keep up the good work! Don't over do it Merlin!" Sora told them

Allowing Tron and the others to handle the fight, Sora and the others headed into the Ice Replika.
