Hello readers! I would like to thank Kingdom Infinite and Jazz for reviewing the previous chapter plus Guest for commenting on chapter 21! I'm so glad that you all took the time give your thoughts on them! Your feedback makes all that toil worthwhile! (:
For Guest, I'll incorporate your idea as soon as I finish all of Kingdom Infinite's requests. I hope you can hang on until then! I promise not to disappoint you! ^_^
I would like to know, what did you mean by "Something like that thank you"? Do you want your request to be like Three's a Crowd with Ventus, Terra, and Aqua? Please tell me so I'll know exactly what to write! (:
I corrected (or at least tried to) all the blunders that Jazz had pointed out in the previous chapter. Check it out! XD
I'm so, so sorry for all of my errors, especially on my confusion about you! It was an honest mistake that I sincerely regret making! But since I know now, I'll NEVER do that inaccuracy ever again! Please forgive me! (:
I'm also sorry for delaying my posting for a week, but now I can update regularly again! (As much as I can during a school week of course)
This chapter was requested by Kingdom Infinite. He came up with the world's name. I hope you enjoy it! (:

Tsutaaja shut her eyes, expression full of glee. "Jaa-Taa! (This realm is full of surprises!)"
"Surprises?!" Roxas quirked a brow as he turned his attention to the grass-type, getting off of Axel.
The Pokémon shrugged. "Taa. (In my realm, a person of your size would not have been able to beat someone so much larger than them while wrestling.)"
"Are you calling me short?!" The blond accused, folding his arms.
She smirked. "Ta... (Well, you're not tall...)"
He huffed in response. "You're smaller than me."
The serpent glared at her offender. "Ja! (My height is above average for a tsutaaja and as you already know, I can easily become larger than you!)"
"At least I'm the stronger one!" As those words left the Nobody's lips, the Grass Snake pounced, knocking him over. He quickly recovered and pushed back, tussling with her.
The redhead burst out laughing. "See, I told you! Only kids get into fights like that!"
"Shut up!" The combatants tackled the pyro, engaging in three-way brawl as the sun had set. The sounds of their skirmish filled the air as the sky grew completely dark.
"I'm departing for Land of OOO to defeat another unidentified Giant Heartless while Axel is going to Turtleverse to break jars."
"Ta? (So it's back to solo missions?)"
The eldest nodded. "We only went together yesterday because it was such a difficult environment to deal with."
The Pokémon hummed in agreement before smiling smugly. "Taa... (You know who I'm going with first...)"
"Let me guess, Roxas?" The ginger sighed.
"Ta? (Why not?)"
"I thought you got over it!" The other chided.
"I never said that!"
Tsutaaja giggled as she approached the blond. "Ta! (Come on!)"
"Fine." The group split up to leave for their respective destinations.
The duo was transported to a wedge of space behind a door laying wide open with its golden-plated twin that led to the depths of a dark cavern encased by swiss walls which was only lit by flames that crackled from holes surrounding stalactites that littered the ground haphazardly between striated columns. A mob of demons had gathered around a behemoth distinguished by its gigantic heart-shaped head that carried a pair of devil horns, sharp retinas, a vertice mouth filled with razor-sharp fangs, and purple vines that led to a crimson cluster of eyeballs above a disproportional body covered in a black suit that a multitude of arms twined with lavender ribbons branched out of that all ended at a pair of crossed legs that sat upon a rusty cloud.
Two figures dropped from a fissure in the roof, landing just a step away from the newcomers' hiding place. A flaxen beast signified by pointed ears, white slitted pupils inside ebon corneas, a sharp distorted jaw set into a pear-shaped noggin, and four legs that bent at awkward angles stood by a boy dressed in a cozy pajama that shrouded his entire body as a white cap concealed all of his noodle save for a face that was already hiddened behind a paper mask cut into a skull which was held in place by a fork on each side. The arrivals, along with the audience and the foreigners, watched as the monster spoke up.
"Who's next? Who's next?" The voice boomed with a challenging tone mixed into it.
A lanky familiar approached the speaker. "Uh, me, My Lord Abadeer."
"What do you desire, cowering speck?" It taunted. "Pain? Pleasure? Or...weird punishment?"
"Uh...pleeaasure?" The male drawled.
"No weird punishment?!" The regality boomed as it summoned a green laser that shot out of a manifested cloud onto the minion. He hurled an excess of bananas all over as he ran away, leaving a muscular enigma to the front.
"And what do you desire? P, P, or double the P?"
The citizen tapped his chin in thought. "I...pain?"
"Okay." Another beam enveloped half of the creature's body, vaporizing it. The decapitated groaned in disappointment as he surveyed himself. "Come on, come on! Next!"
The ant who was before the ruler turned to leave. "I'm just gonna go."
"You sure dude? Don't you want...abs?"
"Yeah, sure! Give me abs!" He demanded as a burst of energy zapped the insect's head, transforming it into a pack of muscles.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
The child faced his companion. "I think we can charge up there, and rip the amulet off her neck!" The kid instructed as he pointed to an amethyst around the oppressor's collar.
The party sped ahead, disregarding the others present. A feline holding a mug spotted the two and disengaged from his place to confront them. "Huh! Hey, what are you guys doing?!" The duo halted in their tracks as the accuser stepped in front of them, the crowd directing their attention to the scene. "You can't run up to the front of the line! These good people have been waiting forever! Shame on you both! Everybody, shame them!" The horde erupted into a mass of racket. "Boo sir! I boo what you're doing!" He then began prodding the two as he ushered them toward the end. "Step back! Back! You will not cut the line again! You stay back here and wait your turn, like the rest of us!" The cat then took fistfuls of each of their skins, twisting them roughly. "UNDERSTAND?!"
"Yeah! Okay! Okay!" The boy sputtered.
"I'll be watching you!" The demon shuffled back to his spot only to be stopped by a another.
"S-Sorry dude, you got out of line—"
"Dang it!" The male shrieked, running away.
The harassed were still rubbing their sores just when an opposable limb wrapped around the canine's arm, stretching it as the child grabbed a hold of his other offshoot.
"Who are you!" The human screamed as they met the demon's glare.
"AAH! Don't kill us Marceline!"
"It's us! Finn and Jake!"
"Your friends, remember?" The boy unmasked himself, showing his features. The one in question appeared to have recognized them both before shrugging indifferently, dangling them to her awaiting mouth.
"Oh crap!"
In reaction, the dog altered his free hand into a pitchfork to poke the victimizer's irises, forcing her to let them go as she screamed in agony. The pooch inflated into a hang glider to slow their descent before breaking into a jog.
"Run!" The partners evaded a set of giant booted feet as they escaped through an exit.
"Let's go." Roxas whispered, the Pokémon nodding as the two slipped through the door, unnoticed by the folk.
The fleers scaled a path before entering a kitchen, ordinary except for what stood there. A blue-skinned demon adorning violet hues and elfin spikes wearing a white tank top held onto an overloaded sandwich as he grabbed a bottle of mustard, staring at the intruders.
"What are you doing?" Finn inquired.
"Just grabbing a midnight snack." The devil closed the fridge as the child went into panic.
"It's Marceline! That's her out there!" He gestured to the behemoth.
"I know! Isn't it fantastic!" The other exclaimed.
"No, we have to save her!" He slammed his palm on the table as the elder carried on with enhancing his meal.
"Save her?"
"From the amulet!"
"But this is what I've always wanted! My girl, following in her daddy's footsteps." The father looked off to the side as he pictured the scene.
The younger shook his head. "But that's not what she wants!"
"That's balderdash, baby. The wearer of the amulet is filled with chaotic evil, just like how I grew up. So..." He bit into the food, letting his sentence go unfinished. The boy slapped the morsel onto the ground as he and his friend left through the back door, reentering the chamber.
The agent and his partner left whence they came and hid behind their original space, going completely unnoticed by everyone.
Finn looked around the mass, calculating the scenario. "Maybe we can get these dudes to help us!" The crowed buzzed, noises ranging from hums to sighs.
The canine disagreed with his friend. "These guys won't help you. They're all complacent sheeple!" Jake blew through his lips before following a certain rhythm, inspiring the kid.
"That's it! We're going to freestyle a political rap, get these guys to rise out of their systemized demon apathy!" He announced in realization.
"...Okay." The dog commenced a rhythm as the human began chanting the words accordingly.
"Yeah. Ah...political rap, yo, yo!
Demon apathy, yo zappity!
Get ready, government! Where you went?
Yo, farmers' market! Get bikes! Get on it!
G-O-D-Z Domes! Science, you heard?!"
The familiars cheered as they drew inspiration from the beat, snapping out of their stupor.
"I've never thought of it that way before!"
"This system is broke, yo!" An arbitrary individual accused, pointing a finger at the ruler.
"Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!" The mob chanted as they lifted the heros up, advancing toward the oppressor. They pressed on relentlessly despite the raging thunder that lashed at them as they drew near. Holding onto her arm to stabilize himself, Jake elongated himself so he could be level with the royal's neck before wrapping both limbs around his friend. The boy grabbed a hold of the necklace and yanked on it, the dog helping him out. With a quartet of volts zapping out of a jet of ink, the creature dissipated into a lithe girl who grew raven tresses flowing on top of closed eyes and a gaping mouth above a grey sweater imprinted with the face of a devilish cat and twin bands of red on each of her elbows all over a pair of feet that bore ruby boots and blue jeans.
"Marceline!" She laid unconcious as the male picked her up in his arms with a bit of strain.
The folk gobbled down the murky goop, disgusting the dog. "Aww, sick!"
The human stared at the break on the roof, lighting up. "Jake! The treehouse!"
The hound yelped in terror, interrupting the other. "I'm too freaked out to move, Finn! These demon're nibbling my legs!" The people scaled the supports, biting on them. The child switched his glances between his friend and the pendant, panicking.
"Jake! Take her!" He tossed the female into the pooch's hold before pushing himself off, falling toward the midst below.
"No Finn! You'll be filled with chaotic evil!" The kid ignored his comrade's cries of protest, shutting his orbs tight as he slipped on the cursed charm.
An obsidian goo gushed out of the gem as he landed, morphing him into the creature the ravenette was prior to her rescue save for an oval head, eyes lacking pupils, and a diplomatic suit on his body. The transformed let out a sinister cry as the father entered the room while drinking carton of milk, spitting out the white liquid as he spotted the newly developed fiend.
The demon used what little control he had left to take his companions and usher them out the exit. The last of his benevolence vanished as he swatted the assaulting familiars, scaring them off. He then turned to face the escapees.
"Marceline, no one...leaves the Nightosphere!" The corrupted threw an extension toward the subject, the canine wrapping around to shield her from the attack.
As the tainted stopped paying attention to what was happening behind him, the azure man managed to easily creep upward and rip out the amulet, relinquishing the boy of its spell as he was thrown back into his own realm, screaming the whole way.
Just as everything seemed to be normal again, the lingering essence sculpted into an enigma who towered over the dad. The figure had a deep violet shade that contrasted perfectly with an ebony shadow over the skin which covered jagged feet that branched off from stocky legs, a chiseled chest signified by a heart-shaped hole in the center, muscular arms that led to humanoid hands, frilled wings, and a huge noggin surrounded by writhing tentacles below pupils that radiated a yellow luminescence.
"Well, what you look at that." The smaller commented. "Too bad it has to go!" The devil lifted the amethyst to his own crown when suddenly, the Dark Follower snatched the necklace from the demon and wrapped the thread around its own finger, gaining a maroon aura.
"We've got to stop that thing!" The child exclaimed as he reached the hole. However, a black flame encrusted the opening, preventing entrance and escape.
The ruler fled as he realized he could do nothing against the impending threat, sealing off of every possible way to get into his house with infernal blockades.
The premises now vacant of any natives, the duo emerged from their hiding place.
"Before we start, the door must be sealed." Roxas directed his gaze to the gateway that stood ajar, the Pokémon nodding in agreement. To avoid creating apprehensive creaking that could give them away, she pounded her tail onto the ground, summoning a Fire Pledge that obscured the view from the inside-out.
Sensing prey, the Heartless gathered power into a fist before punching the ground, a multitude of obscure Shadows emerging from a swirling mass of energy. The minions automatically targeted the two and lunged at them. The slayers reacted quickly, the keybearer summoning his weapon to slice the Purebloods in half while the ivy snake enveloped her fingertips in a whitish glow that only grew in size as each hit succeeded.
In an attempt to hinder the fighters, the behemoth slammed another duke onto the floor, manifesting a powerful shockwave.
"Avoid it!" The samurai commanded as he leapt up and rode the wind, gliding as his companion used an Aqua Jet to remain airborne. Not relenting, the creature scooped up a ball of lavender light it had created before scattering the sphere, the smaller entities raining from above. The duo split up in response, easily evading each orb as they fell.
In no time, they arrived at the base of the giant's legs. The fighters regrouped, coming up with a strategy.
"The hands are the most dangerous parts of this Heartless." The blond stated. "So the best thing we can do for now it to restrain them."
The serpent smirked. "Ta. (No problem.)" As those words left Tsutaaja's lips, she bounded forward before giving one strong push, bounding upward. The enemy tried to gain the upper hand by clasping her in its palms, but the Grass Snake effortlessly sped away from the hands mid-air, taking advantage of her foe's position to wrap a String Shot around its wrists, binding them. Having lost its balance, the Dark Follower fell forward.
"Attack the head!" The samurai zoomed in, slashing at the unprotected area. The Pokémon joined him with a Sacred Sword out, dicing the Heartless in sync with her companion.
The denizen finally managed to recover, rearing itself onto its knees. The cavern through its belly spontaneous emitted a blinding brilliance that balls of a malignant force shot out of. The agent brought forth his blade to guard against the assault as the other shielded herself with a combination of Protect and Mirror Coat, the onslaught reflecting off of both defenses albeit the damage from the grass-type being doubled. The opponent was stunned, falling onto the field below, now unable to move. The duo took the predicament to their advantage by closing in, the Nobody using a sword shrouded with a pure light as the serpent dealt a barrage of punches that finished the Dark Follower off, the Heartless fading into a pool of darkness.
"Let's join Axel." The two exchanged nods as they crossed over to their friend's location.
Heartless: Dark Follower, Shadow
Moves used: Fire Pledge, Fury Cutter, Aqua Jet, String Shot, Sacred Sword, Protect, Mirror Coat, Close Combat
