Well, here's the newest chapter of LoHH. I think Atlantica is bad for me... this and the previous chapter gave me writer's block something fierce! Now, review responses!
Sokairoxnam12349: I know that Atlantica isn't the next world, but I wanted to change some things around.
Anonymous Hearts: All in one here. Firstly, thanks again for the compliment. Secondly, they're not gonna have such an easy time back in Hyrule. Yeah, I think Phil was absent when they taught counting. Not really much to say for your next review. PHIL REF! Well, Maleficent won't die, but she'll have to face Link and Sora! Well, this next comment got to me! I'm glad you think so highly of my work that you'd say that!
goldenlight001: Ummm, thanks I guess?
Prometheus: Okay, I'll check it out.
Me: Disclaimer, please!
Goofy: Gawrsh! I guess I'll do it! GamesMaster64 doesn't own Kingdom Hearts or The Legend of Zelda, a-hyuck!
Me: Enjoy!

Chapter 23: Undersea Adventure! Ursula's Move!
"Where is that cursed Keyhole!?" Donald yelled. The four had been swimming for a while looking for the Keyhole, but to no avail. While they were swimming, Flounder stopped them.
"Hey, you guys!" he called out, causing the four to turn around.
"Hey, it's that 'Flounder' feller, a-hyuck!" Goofy said.
"Ariel's in trouble!" Flounder said. This got them on alert.
"Lead us to her, Flounder!" Sora said. The fish nodded, and took off, with the four following him. Flounder led them to the Palace. However, they arrived to see Ariel swimming away with the Trident.
"NO! WE'RE TOO LATE!" Flounder cried out as Ariel swam off. Link shook his head.
"Not if we swim fast enough." he said, taking off, with the other four following him. They chased after Ariel, but it seemed that everytime they were starting to catch up, she would take a turn, and they would have to backtrack from passing the turn. However, they caught up to Ariel after a few minutes. However, they were too late as Ursula had the Trident. She turned around and laughed upon seeing them.
"Well, well... Look who's tardy to the party." Ursula said. Her two eels, Flotsam and Jetsam, swam up behind her, cackling evilly. Ursula turned to Link and Sora, who had drawn their weapons. "Now, had over the Keyblade and the Master Sword, and Ariel doesn't get hurt!" Ursula said, pointing the Trident at Ariel.
"URSULA! YOU ARE BANNED FROM THESE WATERS!" Triton shouted, swimming up, followed by Sebastian. However, the sight of Ursula wielding the Trident made him stop short. "YOU'VE STOLEN THE TRIDENT!? IS THERE NO END TO YOUR TREACHERY?" he roared. However, Ursula replied by shooting a beam at him, turning him into a shriveled-looking creature.
"Oh, no... Daddy..." Ariel muttered. Ursula laughed, rounding on Ariel.
"Be careful what you wish for! Now, you wanted to visit another world? Well, prepare to go TO THE DARK WORLD OF THE HEARTLESS!" Ursula cried out.
"You gotta get through us first!" Sora said, brandishing the Keyblade. Ursula turned on them, firing a ball-shaped energy at them. Link stepped in front of the attack. "What are you doing, Link!?" Sora asked. Link shook his head.
"Trust me on this, Sora." Link said, readying the Master Sword. He swung it at the ball of energy, which deflected and hit Flotsam and Jetsam, who were burned into crisps. Their bodies disappeared as Ursula rounded on the group, as she was about to send Ariel away.
"YOU KILLED MY HENCHMEN!" she shouted, shooting another bolt of energy. Link struck it back, and Ursula retaliated in kind.
"One game of Dead Man's Volley it is!" Link said, hitting the bolt back. The bolt bounced back and forth between the two. It struck Urusla again, who roared and swam away. The group persued, leaving Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian to look after Triton.
Underwater Clearing, Atlantica
The group pursued Ursula to a clearing in the ocean. There, she rounded on the group and began to glow with the power of the Trident. She grew to colossal size, and the sea swirled around. The group noticed a giant wooden ship that was stirred up. They rode it to the surface, where it stayed above ground. Donald quickly changed the group back. Above the surface, Ursula rose in the wind, rain, and lightning. The mysterious voice called out to the group again.
Your newest enemy is
Undersea Witch, Ursula
As they were getting ready to start the battle, Link looked back and saw Ariel swimming on the surface.
"ARIEL! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Link asked, shouting down at her.
"I WANNA HELP!" she said. Link nodded.
"STAY IN THE WATER! IF ONE OF US FALLS, YOU CAN GET US BACK ONTO THE SHIP!" Link shouted. Ariel nodded, and Link turned to face Ursula. The sea-witch launched a huge energy orb at the group. However, Link deflected the blow, engaging Ursula in another game of Dead Man's Volley. After the energy ball traveled back and forth a few times, it struck Ursula in the face. Link lept onto one of her legs, followed by Sora and Goofy. The three started to strike Ursula with their weapons, but the sea-witch recovered and knocked them off sending them into the ocean again. Ariel went into action. She grabbed Goofy first, grabbing the Disney Court Knight and building up momentum for swimming. She then charged to the surface, leaping over the boat and dropping him onto the ship again. She did the same with Link and Sora as well. Ursula, meanwhile, was trying to sink the ship. A tentacle came slamming down.
"I think not!" Donald said, pointing his staff at the incoming tentacle.
Firaga!
A small fireball shot out, exploding with a lot of force agains the tentacle. Ursula roared in pain, and shot an energy bolt from the Trident. Link engaged Ursula in another round of Dead Man's Volley, but this time Link missed. The energy bolt put a hole in the ship, though it stayed above due to the power of the Trident stirring the seas. Ursula laughed.
"All the seas will roar! I am the Queen of the Sea!" she shouted. Link shook his head, thrusting the Master Sword into the air.
Ether Medallion!
Cold winds were forced from the Master Sword, physically freezing Ursula in her tracks. Sora then struck next, jumping out on a tentacle.
Ars Arcanum!
Sora struck Ursula's face rapidly seven times, then six more times at a slower pace. He then managed to land on the ship as Urusla recovered. Link pulled out his boomerang, and threw it, targeting Ursula's tentacles. The boomerang struck five of them, and Ursula found herself unable to swim properly. Link put the Boomerang away, and pulled out a bomb.
"Sora! Batter up!" Link said, tossing the lit explosive toward Sora. The Keyblader struck it toward Ursula, and the explosive blew up in her face. Ursula was angry now, and shot an energy bolt at the ship, destroying it. Donald managed to turn the group into fish before they crashed. Link pulled the Master Sword and Hylian Shield out, charging at Ursula. He struck her arm that held the Trident, causing her to drop it. Ariel retrieved it, and used its power to shrink Ursula back down to normal size.
"This makes it more even!" Link said, rushing at Urusla, followed by Sora and Goofy. Ursula laughed, and opened her mouth. Bubbles burst out, but Goofy took them out by going into his shell. Seeing she was outmatched, Ursula retreated into a Corridor of Darkness. Link turned to Sora.
"Well, that's one issue solved. Now, where is the Keyhole?" he asked. Sora shrugged his shoulders, and the group joined Ariel.
"Let's go get your father taken care of." Sora said. Ariel nodded, and the five swam to where Triton was being looked over by Sebastian and Flounder. Ariel used the Trident to turn him back to normal. Trident turned to the group.
"I want to thank you. I guess I misunderstood you, Keybearer. I want to thank you for returning peace to my ocean." Triton said. He turned to Ariel. "Take the Trident and use it on the indentation in your grotto." Triton told her. Ariel nodded. Triton turned to the group again. "Do me a favor, Keybearer. Seal the Keyhole. You'll find it in Ariel's grotto. That rock you found would've revealed it." Triton said. Sora nodded, and the group followed Ariel to her grotto. There, Ariel revealed the Keyhole, and Sora sealed it. The group then made their way back to their Gummi Ship after bidding Ariel farewell. Once inside, Donald turned them all normal again. Sora stretched out.
"Oh, man! I'm sore from the swimming!" Sora said. Link nodded, pulling out some papers from his pouch.
"Well, it was worth it. We sealed another Keyhole and I found some pages to what looks like Ansem's report." Link said. The group looked at the papers, but they couldn't understand it.
"Gawrsh! It looks like a different langauge, a-hyuck!" Goofy said. There was a beeping from the front of the Gummi Ship. Looking at the dash, Link saw a buttong flashing that read "Press me!" Link did so, and an image of Cid popped up.
"Yo, yo, yo! Cid here! You guys reading me?" he asked. Donald looked at Cid with a look of agitation.
"What is this?" Donald asked, a vein on his head pulsing. Cid laughed.
"I installed it when I installed that Navigation Gummi for you guys!" he said. Donald then began to jump up and down in anger, steam pouring out of his ears.
"YOU DID IT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!" Donald shouted. Link put a hand on the wizard's shoulder.
"Chill, Donald." Link said before turning to Cid. "Hey, Cid! I found what I think are some pages to Ansem's report. However, we can't read it." Link said. Cid perked up at that.
"Really? Well, translating will be our job. Just put it in that slot on the dashboard." Cid said. Link did as he was told, inserting the papers in the machine. They heard a beeping, and then Cid had the exact same pages Link had before. "Yep, that's part of Ansem's report, all right. Well, we'll get working on this. Oh, I have a message from Phil. He says someone wants to fight you at Olympus Coliseum. Otherwise, you can head here and install another Navigation Gummi." Cid told them. Link shook his head.
"No can do, Cid. We didn't find anymore. Looks like we'll have to see what's in store for us at Olympus Coliseum." Link told him. Cid nodded in understanding, then hung the call up. Donald fired up the Gummi Ship and turned it to Olympus Coliseum.
Unknown Location
The mysterious group sat around the display, watching Ursula's defeat.
"She always relied too much on her henchmen and that Trident." Capt. Hook said.
"Well, looks like another one's down! The odds are heating up!" Oogie Boogie said, laughing maniacally.
"I wonder who will be next to fall to them?" Clayton asked.
"Enough. There can be no more failure." Maleficent said. "For now, we do nothing. We'll see where they are going next."
Notes on the Chapter:
1. First use of Dead Man's Volley... gonna have to explain how Link knows that name...
2. Pretty straightforward fight, I think.
3. Yeah, Donald does not like people messing with his ship...
