I don't own Kingdom Hearts and Descendants. Only thing I own is the idea of Sora, Riku and Kairi being related to Disney characters(I did this as a last minute thing in Big Four's Adventure with Sora to Sora and Kairi but I'm not sure if people noticed.) If you wanna know the reason, go to the first announcement chapter of Kingdom Hearts Descendants.

Every world will be a chapter with multiple povs unless they're short.

Since Uma and Harry have join Sora and the gang, I'm gonna go into their povs for a while

Another thing is I'm slowly trying to get back to prewritten chapters but you still need to bare with me because I still have real life stuff going on

This may be obvious and I wasn't trying to make it be that obvious but here it is: the girl vk's parent's from a movie that hasn't appeared in either the Kingdom Hearts games, the Isle of the Lost books, the two Descendants movies or in the Descendants series. So think of any movies that haven't been mentioned in any of those.

Reason that Evie knows about Ansem the Wise is because Mickey told her about him.

One thing I wanna point out is that since Ben, Mal and Jay went along with Sora and the four each have a Nobody that are Keyblade wielders as well, instead of the group being called Organization XIII(13), it's gonna be called Organization XVI(16 because of Nexb, Maxl and Jaxy)

This is my longest chapter yet :P

By the way, I need song suggestions for Julie and Olivia; so if you have any, review the song name and I'll listen to it on YouTube(: it needs to a slow song between two sisters by the way.


Chapter seventeen: Hollow Bastion(part four)/Space Paranoids(part one)/Organization lair(part three)

Harry's pov:

Mal explained everything to me and Uma. "The King, Riku, Evie- and now we've lost Kairi again, too. As well as losing Carlos and Gil too. And even though I don't know Grace or Omar, we lost them too." Sora said, causing us to look at him.

"Don't be sad!" The duck said.

"Donald's right, you know! Why, you four are the keys that connect everything!" The dog said.

"So it's all OUR faults." Sora said.

"Please tell me he's not trying to feel sorry for himself." Uma said.

"Shut up, Uma. He just found out that Kairi got lost again while still trying to find The King for Donald and Goofy, Riku for himself and Evie for me, Ben and Jay." Mal snarled.

"Oh boo-hoo. It's not like you found Carlos or we found Gil." Uma snarled.

"Enough! Both of you. You two fighting like this isn't gonna solve anything. Right now, we all need to work together in order to find them, Omar and Grace. Is that understood?" Ben asked. The two girls didn't respond. "I'll take that as a yes." He said.

"Gawrsh, I didn't mean that. Just do what comes natural to each of ya and we're sure to find 'em." The dog named Goofy said.

"You said it!" The duck named Donald said.

"Thanks guys." Sora said.

We got to another new world and walked. We saw a broken down castle in front of us then saw five creatures in armor running in front of us then they disappeared. "What are those?" I asked.

"Those are the Heartless." Ben said.

"Oh..." I said.

"Do you think..." Sora started.

"Looks like there's more Heartless now." Goofy said. We saw five of those white things from that other town flying by.

"Let's go check in with everyone." Jay said.

"I think they're at Merlin's." Goofy said.

We ran to the other side of the square in this town then came across another duck. This one had a cane though. "Ach! I was so close to recreating that flavor, too..." The duck said then turned around and looked at us when we walked over to him. "What lads and lasses? Leon and his friends are in the borough. Aye, Merlin's house." He said.

We saw a man with blonde hair. He was looking down with his eyes closed while leaning against a wall. "Oh, Cloud!" Sora said.

The man named Cloud opened his eyes and looked at us then looked back down and closed his eyes again. "Whatcha doing?" Donald asked.

"I'll get him. This time we settle it. Me, and the one who embodies all the darkness in me." Cloud said.

"I thought you looked kinda different, Cloud." Donald said.

"If I do, it's his fault." Cloud said.

"Whose?" Uma asked, surprising all of us then I remembered Ben's small speech back at the ship so I didn't say anything.

"Sephiroth. Tell me if you guys see him." Cloud said.

"Okay. What's he look like?" I asked.

"Silver hair. Carries a long sword." Cloud said.

"Sure. Well, be seeing you, Cloud." Sora said. We faced from him.

"You guys be careful. He messes with your head, makes you think darkness is the only way." Cloud said, causing us to face him again.

"Is something wrong?" A voice asked. We looked to the side and saw a woman with brown hair and in a pink and white dress. She walked over to us as Cloud was walking away from us.

"Uhh..." Mal muttered softly then we watched as the woman walked past us.

"It's nothing." Cloud said. The woman looked at Cloud closely then Cloud looked away. "I don't want you involved." He said.

The woman looked like she was thinking about something then she looked back at Cloud. "You mean you don't want me there when you go away again?" She asked.

"I just- Listen, even if I go far away, I'll come back." Cloud said.

"Do you mean it?" The woman asked.

"Yeah." Cloud said as he looked away again.

"See? You don't look so sure. Well, okay, I understand. Go- get things settled." The woman said.

"Huh?" Cloud asked.

"No matter how far away you are...once you find your light... I'm sure it will lead you back here again. Right?" The woman asked.

"I suppose." Cloud said, looking at her again.

"So I'll stay here- and I'll cheer for you- Okay, Cloud?" The woman asked.

"Okay." Cloud said. He turned around and walked away from all of us.

"Wonder if he'll be okay." The woman said.

"He'll be fine. I'm sure there's some light in him somewhere." Ben said.

"You're right." The woman said.

We followed the woman to another part of the town and into a house. We saw a blonde guy at a computer and a girl with black hair near him. The two turned around and looked at us. "Hey fellas- you're just in time. Got some good news for ya, so get yourselves over to Leon's." He said.

"What kind of news?" Mal asked.

"We found the computer Ansem was using!" The black-haired girl said.

"Oh boy!" Donald said.

"Yep. Should be able to get all kinds of info on the Heartless and the Organization." The man said.

"And maybe something on the dark realm, too? It looks like that's where Riku, Evie, Kairi, Carlos, Gil, Omar and Grace are." Uma said.

"And the King." Donald said.

"Go see for yourselves!" The man said.

"It can't hurt!" The girl said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Nothin'. Just get to the computer room through the castle postern. Watch your step!" The man said.

The eight of us left the house and went over to another set of steps. We ran up and turned the corner to a gate. We went through the gate and walked. "Excuse me, are you with the Restoration Committee?" A voice behind us asked, causing us to stop walking. We turned around but didn't see anything there then three small fairies appeared. "What's Leon's gang up to?" One asked.

"They've got stuff to do over by the castle postern." Sora said.

The first fairy turned to the two that were behind her. "Scoop!" The second one said.

"Huh?" Ben asked.

"Let's report." The third one said.

"To who?" Donald asked.

The first fairy turned back to us from the side. "Our leader, of course!" She said.

"Yeah, You know, Malefi-" The second fairy started but the third fairy covered her mouth.

We each gave them a confused look. "Don't mind her. I assure you, we come in peace." The third fairy said, looking back at us. The second fairy nodded at us.

"You're kidding..." The first fairy said, causing the third fairy to look at her.

"Problem? Okay, fine. You do the talking." The third fairy said, looking away with her arms crossed her chest after she let go of the second fairy's mouth then disappeared, leaving the first fairy and the second fairy there.

The first fairy faced us again. "So sorry about this!" She said, bowing at us then disappeared.

The second fairy just chuckled a bit at us then disappeared too. The seven of us looked at Sora and he just shrugged at us. We resumed our walk to the castle postern. We got there and looked around us after we stopped walking. "Leon!" Jay said.

"Over here!" A voice said. We looked over and saw the woman from earlier.

We rushed over to her. "You guys found Ansem's computer?" Jay asked.

"Uh-huh. The King and Evie are very interested in it." The woman said.

"The King?" Donald asked.

"Evie?" Mal asked.

"They're with Leon." The woman said.

"Is Gil with them?" I asked. I figured he wouldn't be but I had to ask in case he somehow escaped.

"No, sorry." The woman said. I sighed softly but didn't say anything else.

"We'll find him. We promise." Ben said. Normally, I would glare at him but I wasn't in the mood to do that right now so I remained quiet while nodding softly once at him.

"We get to see the King!" Donald said.

"Hooray!" Goofy said.

"And Evie, too!" Mal said, hugging Ben and Jay.

"Er... Is Riku with them?" Sora asked. He looked down a bit after we saw the woman shake her head at him a bit. He looked back up at her. "Well, at least I can ask the King or Evie about him. And that computer might be able to tell us something." He said.

"Good idea!" The woman said. She turned to the side. "They're right through there." She said. We looked over at the direction then went down some steps and got to a hallway.

We heard something from behind us so we turned around but saw nothing there. We shrugged it off and walked through the hallway. It was like a maze but we eventually made it through to the end since we saw a door. Ben opened the door and we walked through it. We were in a room and looked around us a bit. We saw a portrait of a man Uma and I didn't know. "Ansem..." Jay said.

We walked over to the portrait. "Gawrsh, I guess this must be his room." Goofy said.

"Where's the King?" Donald asked.

"And Evie?" Mal asked.

"Hello?" Uma asked.

"Hey, you guys!" A voice said, causing us to each flinch a bit. We looked over and saw a woman with black hair. She looked around her a bit then looked back at us. "I'm looking for somebody. Have any of you seen a guy with spiky hair?" She asked. We looked at Sora and saw him tug a bit on a piece of his spiky hair. The woman giggled a bit. "Spikier." She said. We all each just shook our heads at her while Sora just shrugged at her. "I'll just take a look around." She said. She looked around then kicked a wall which made us flinch a bit. She looked back at us. "Sorry to bother you." She said then headed for the door.

"No bother, ma'am." Sora, Donald, Goofy, Ben, Mal and Jay said at the same time as they stood like soldiers of some sort. The eight of us watched her get to the door and walk out, closing the door behind her.

"So you made it." A voice behind us said. We turned around and saw a man with brown hair leaning against the wall the woman kicked.

"Leon!" Ben said. The man named Leon got off the wall and nodded once at him.

We went over to him. "Aren't the King and Evie with you?" Jay asked.

Leon put a finger to his mouth, indicating Jay to be quiet. "You'll see them soon enough." He said.

"Hey!" Donald said.

"Here, this ought to tide you over." Leon said then turned to the wall. He put his hand on the wall and part of it disappeared, revealing a blue hallway. He turned back to us. "Ansem's computer room." He said.

We ran to the computer room and saw the computer there. "This is it!" Sora said as he ran to the computer. "Where's Kairi? Where's Riku?" He asked as he started typing on the keys. After a while, he started hitting the keys.

"Easy... You wanna break it?" Leon asked.

We turned to Leon. "Oh, sorry. Guess I got a little carried away." Sora said.

"Whoa!" Goofy said, looking up.

"Huh?" I asked then looked up and saw what he was looking at. It was a blue creature upside down on the ceiling. "What the?" I asked.

"Hmm?" The blue creature asked, standing on his legs. "Whoa!" He said as he lost balance then he fell onto the computer keys.

"Get offa there!" Donald said then he jumped onto the computer keys to catch the blue creature but got angry as the blue creature jumped on Donald's head once then ran off, laughing at him.

All of a sudden, an alarm went off and we looked around us. "Attention current user. This is a warning. Further misuse of this terminal will result in immediate defensive action." A voice said.

"Who's there?" Uma asked.

"I am the Master Control Program. I oversee this system." The voice said.

"Where are you?" Jay asked.

We saw Donald press another key with his foot which made the alarm go off again. "Donald!" Sora, Goofy, Ben, Mal, Jay, Leon, Uma and I said at the same time.

"I'm sorry..." Donald said.

"Decision gate reached. You are now under arrest." The voice said.

"Arrest!?" Mal asked.

Goofy went to the computer and got Donald off. "Run!" Leon said, causing us to look at him then we looked at a huge circle that was behind us. We saw it glowing. I got to Uma and held her close to protect her while Mal was being protected by Jay. Donald hugged Goofy around the neck then we were each hit by a beam.

After what felt like an hour, I woke up with a soft groan. Next thing I knew it I was walking to Uma, Mal, Jay and Sora with Donald, Goofy and Ben. "Sora!" Donald said, causing the four of them to look at us.

"Go on, show 'em who's boss!" Sora said. They started to walk then a man covered in red appeared next to them. "Who're you?" He asked.

"I am Commander Sark." The man in red named Sark said.

"A Heartless commander?" Jay asked.

"Hmph. Observe." Sark said. He pointed a remote at us and pressed it.

After a short while, Donald, Goofy, Ben and I each yelped in pain as we were being shocked with something. "Ben!" Mal said.

"Harry! Sora, do something!" Uma said.

"Okay, you're the boss! I get it." Sora said, looking down in defeat. Once Sark stopped, he looked back at Sora while Donald and Goofy both dropped to the floor; Goofy on his back and Donald on his stomach. Ben and I, however, each dropped down on one knee.

"Are you okay, Harry?" Ben asked after a while.

"A little bit." I said.

We were eventually taken to a cell. I was laying down on the ground with the back of my head on Uma's lap. "I don't do fear but I got really scared for you back there." She said, looking down at me.

"I know, but I'm fine. Thanks for the concern though, Uma darling." I said, smiling at her. I rarely smile but when it came to Uma, I would smile around her.

"You're not the only one that got scared back there. How is he doing by the way?" A voice asked, causing us to look over and we saw that the voice belonged to Mal; who had the back of Ben's head on her lap.

"He says he's fine. How's Beasty Boy?" Uma asked her, referring to Ben.

"I'm fine. Thanks for the concern, Uma." Ben said.

"I wasn't concerned. I was just curious is all." Uma said.

"Man, what kind of world is this, anyway?" Sora asked, causing the four of us to look over at him.

"I'm not sure but it ain't Hook's ship in Neverland. That's for sure." Jay said.

"Oh, don't bring that up please. I don't want to remember that." Mal said.

"How come?" I asked.

"That was the world that I was separated from Sora, Donald, Goofy, Ben and Jay since I was stuck in a cabin with Jane, Maggie, Giselle, Skylar, Maristela and Wendy. Not that I didn't mind seeing them but I was actually kinda scared that time because I was worried about them. And I don't normally get scared easily." Mal said.

"You're all inside a mainframe computer system." A voice said, causing all of us to look over. We saw a man covered in blue sitting there in a corner.

"A what system?" I asked, sitting up at the same time as Ben.

"A computer system- for processing data. This system is a copy of one created by a corporation called ENCOM. The original program was destroyed." The man said then he got up. "But this copy was acquired by another User. The new User updated and customized the programs, renaming the system Hollow Bastion OS. He used the system for town maintenance, and to advance his private research. My name is Tron. I'm a security program. But now I'm under arrest, same as all of you." The man named Tron said.

Sora looked at us. "Did you guys get any of that?" He asked.

The seven of us each looked confused. "Gawrsh... You know...maybe we should just introduce ourselves." Goofy said. We each nodded once at Goofy then we looked back at Tron.

"I'm Sora." Sora said.

"I'm Ben. They're Uma, Harry, Jay and Mal." Ben said.

"And I'm Donald." Donald said.

"Nice to meet'cha, Tron. I'm Goofy." Goofy said.

"With that configuration, you must be Users." Tron said.

"Users?" Mal asked. We were each confused again.

"You'd all better get out of here quickly. Who knows what the MCP will do to you all?" Tron asked.

"MCP?" Uma asked.

"The Master Control Program. It controls the whole system. If you all idle here, you all will be de-rezzed." Tron said, causing us to flinch in surprise.

"De-rezzed!?" Donald asked.

"So, how do we get out of here!?" I asked.

Tron started thinking then turned to a computer behind him. He walked over to it. "This terminal could've gotten you all back to the User world." He said. We each looked at him hopefully. "But the MCP cut the power 50 microcycles ago." He said. We each looked down in defeat. "If we could bring the energy core in the canyon online, we could power it up." He said, causing us to look back up at him. "The problem is- we're stuck in this cell. We're not going anywhere unless we unlock the energy fields." He said, pointing at the way out. We each started thinking then we saw Sora, Ben, Mal and Jay each holding a weird looking weapon. They went to the way out and destroyed it with their weapons.

Normal mode:

"Master Control. Why not just de-rezz Tron?" Sark asked.

"I still haven't located the password to the dataspace." Master Control said.

"What about a logic probe? With all your processing power..." Sark started.

"Out of the question. The current environment hampers the processing power needed for such an analysis." Master Control said then the alarm went off. "You're dismissed, Sark. Stop any remaining anomalies in the system- or else. End of line." It said.

"Acknowledged." Sark said.

Uma's pov:

We followed Tron to somewhere he called the energy core. The four of us and Tron watched Sora, Ben, Mal and Jay do something with each cube shape by using their weapons. It glowed then went down and made the floor glow. We were facing Tron. "Mission accomplished?" Mal asked.

"Yes. Now...will you do something for me?" Tron asked.

"You got it!" Ben said which surprised Tron.

"Don't you want to hear what it is first?" Tron asked.

"You helped us! Now it's our turn." Donald said.

"You guys really are Users. Your actions are totally illogical. Let's hurry back to the pit cell." Tron said.

"Where's that again?" Jay asked.

"That's the sector where we met." Tron said.

"Roger!" Sora said.

Once we got back to the pit cell, Tron was typing on the computer. "So what did you want us to do?" I asked.

Tron got up and faced us. "Find my User. He'll give you the password to access the DTD." He said.

"You bet!" Donald said.

"So, um..." Harry started.

"DTD is the name my User gave to the dataspace. Copies of all the original system programs are stored there, along with anything that's sensitive or restricted." Tron said.

"Is there stuff about the Heartless or Organization XVI?" Goofy asked, causing us to look at him then we looked back at Tron.

"Hmm... Most likely." Tron said then turned back to the computer and went back to typing. "A number of my functions were appropriated when I last took on the MCP. That's why I need the password." He said then got back up. "If I can get inside the DTD, I can access my original backup program and restore all my functions." He said then faced us again. "Then, I'll be able to put this system back the way it was before the MCP got control and changed everything. The way it was supposed to be- a free system for you- the Users." He said.

"Gee, Tron, ain't the MCP one of those programs, too? Do ya know who it was who made it?" Goofy asked.

"Actually... I don't know." Tron said.

"Okay, we'll just have to find your user and ask him. What's his name?" Ben asked.

"You mean you don't know? My User is the user of this system: Ansem the Wise." Tron said. That caused Sora, Donald, Goofy, Ben, Mal and Jay to flinch in surprise now.

"Ansem!?" The six of them asked at the same time. They looked at each other then we saw the computer glitching.

Tron went back to the computer and started typing on it again. "Looks like the MCP's on to us. I'll keep this terminal up and running. You all better exit the system, now!" He said.

"Sure... But Tron...Ansem is..." Jay started.

"We'll get ya the password!" Donald interrupted him, causing us to look at him then we looked back at Tron.

"Okay. You're good to go." Tron said as he got up again then he faced us. "Hurry!" He said then walked to the side of the computer.

We were each teleported back to the computer room Leon was at. "We did it!" Donald said as the seven of us each celebrated a bit.

"Where have you been?" Leon asked, causing us to look at him.

"Well, uh..." Sora started as Leon walked over to us.

"There's a...world inside this computer, where these, um... programs live, and..." Mal started explaining.

"So in other words... Ansem's research data is off-limits unless we know the password." Leon said.

"I think that's right." Ben said.

"But you've already defeated Ansem..." Leon said.

"Gawrsh, maybe we'll never find the password." Goofy said.

"That means...this is all a wild goose chase." Leon said.

"No. There has to be a way to find out. If we can't ask Ansem, then maybe we can find another way for the password." I said.

"You're chasing what, now?" A voice asked. We looked over and saw the woman from before. "Well, well! A hidden room! Guess I'd better take another look around." She said then turned around and walked away.

We ran after her and got back to the other room. We saw her kicking walls. "She just won't give up..." Harry said.

"And neither will we!" Donald said.

"C'mon, we've gotta look for that password!" Goofy said.

"Right. We made a promise to Tron." Jay said.

We saw the woman going to the portrait and we walked over to her. "Excuse me." She said, going to the portrait. She took it down, revealing some kind of drawing on the wall. She punched the wall then faced us and shrugged a bit with a sigh after she saw that nothing happened then she left again.

"What's this doodle?" Mal asked.

"Hollow... Main... Security... Tron... Door to..." Donald started reading the words above the drawing.

"Looks like a diagram or somethin'." Goofy said.

"Door...to...darkness?" Donald asked.

"Oh!" Sora said, causing us to flinch a bit as we looked at him. "D- T- D!" He said, pointing to each of the three letters.

"DTD!" Donald and Goofy said at the same time.

"We found the DTD thing Tron was talking about. Great, now what?" I asked.

"Now, we try to figure out the password." Ben said.

"What's up?" A voice behind us asked.

"Look at this! This must be the dataspace! The DTD. See? The Door To Darkness!" Jay said, as we watched Leon walk over to us.

"What do you know. But...that still leaves the password." Leon said.

"Say, fellas, did somebody mention the Door to Darkness?" A voice from behind us asked.

"What about it?" Another voice asked, causing us to look over and we saw two figures there. One was a mouse and the other one was one that we recognized.

"Your Majesty! Evie!" Sora, Donald, Goofy, Mal, Jay and Ben said at the same time.

The two each put a finger to their lips then looked at the open door and closed it quickly. Once they faced us again as the two each took their hoods off, they were each greeted with a hug; the mouse was greeted with a hug from Donald and Goofy while Evie was greeted with a hug from Ben, Mal and Jay. "Long time no see!" Sora said.

"Shh! The Organization might be listening!" The mouse said. The two each looked around to make sure the coast was really clear after they each broke their hugs then they looked at us. "You mentioned the Door to Darkness?" He asked.

"Uh, yes, sir! Ya see, we're lookin' for the secret password." Goofy said.

"Password?" The mouse asked, causing us to each give him a look. "Oh, I guess you mean like a code. Well, the Door To Darkness can only be opened by the seven princesses." He said.

"Seven princesses?" Harry asked.

"Yup! There's Snow White, Jasmine, and Belle..." The mouse said.

"Of course..." Leon said then turned to the computer room entrance. We watched him walk back to the computer room.

"What're you tryin' to do?" The mouse asked.

"With that password, we can get access to Ansem's research data." I said.

"So that means you might be able to find out where he is!" Evie said.

"Stop jokin' around, Evie. We already defeated Ansem. You know that." Mal said.

"Looks like we've got a lot of explainin' to do." The mouse said.

"We're listening, Your Majesty!" Donald said.

"Okay...but first, I've got a question..." Sora started.

"Hey, isn't Tron waiting for you guys?" A voice asked. We looked over and saw Leon there. We looked back at the mouse and Evie then back at Leon.

"Don't worry, we're not goin' anywhere. If those Heartless attack, we'll stand and fight with everyone here." Evie said, causing us to look back at her and the mouse again.

"Yeah...we will, too." Jay said.

"Then let's talk more later." The mouse said.

"That's a promise!" Donald said.

"We'll see you when you guys get back." Evie said.

"Oh! One more thing. Let me give each of your clothes some new powers, Sora, Ben, Mal and Jay." The mouse said.

"Really!?" Mal asked.

"You bet! You four have done so much- just consider them each a thank-you present." The mouse said.

"Thanks, Your Majesty! We're heading off to see Tron now, so wait here for us, okay?" Sora asked.

"We will, Sora, Ben, Mal and Jay. And remember- be careful!" The mouse said.

"Oh! That reminds me! Evie, this is for you from Santa." Jay said, handing her his bag. "The present is inside the box that's in the bag." He said.

Evie smiled. "I'll thank him if I see him. Good luck you guys." She said, taking the bag from Jay.

We went back to the computer room.

Jay's pov:

"You guys go. We'll wait here for you guys." Uma said, causing the six of us to look at her and Harry.

"You sure?" Sora asked.

"Yeah. We figured that we could help out here." Harry said.

I looked the two of them with uncertainty because I had a feeling they were up to something but we did have to go back to Tron so I didn't press on. "Well, okay. You two better be careful and make sure you both can't leave." I said.

"Where else are we gonna go, Snake Boy?" Uma asked.

"She does have a point, Jay." Ben said.

"Guys, we need to go. Now." Mal said. The six of us got teleported back to the computer world after Sora pressed a key on the keyboard and looked around us a bit.

We didn't see Tron there then we saw Goofy walk to the computer. "Gawrsh, I wonder where Tron is." He said.

"Don't touch that!" Donald said.

We saw the computer glitching. "Huh?" Goofy asked.

"Goofy!" Sora said then he and Donald both disappeared.

"Sora! Donald!" Mal said.

Goofy turned around. "Uhh...I didn't do it!" He said then the four of us disappeared. We appeared in an arena of sorts. "I didn't touch nothin'!" He said as the five of us looked around us.

"Welcome to the game grid." A voice said, causing the six of us to flinch in surprise.

"Game grid?" Ben asked.

"That's right, you've been chosen to play a few games. Lose, and you will be subject to immediate de-resolution. Win? Well, no one wins." The voice said with a soft chuckle.

"We're not gonna play your games!" Donald said.

"You have no choice." The voice said.

"Well then, get on with it!" I said. After a while of playing the games we didn't have a choice to play, a giant purple Heartless appeared and made a hole in the wall. "All right! It looks like we can escape through there!" I said.

"Let's get going then!" Sora said. After a while, we escaped and made it back to the pit cell. We each sighed in relief because we made it out. "Tron!" He said, causing us to look over and saw Tron getting up from the ground.

We rushed over to him. "I don't understand. Why are you guys here?" He asked.

"We came to give you the password." Mal said.

"Why didn't you just transmit the data?" Tron asked.

"Transmit?" Donald asked.

Sora, Ben and I each caught Tron so we could stop him from falling to the ground. "Hey, are you okay?" Ben asked.

"I'll be all right...once we access the DTD." Tron said, pushing himself up a bit. We followed Tron to where the dataspace area was at and went to the computer that was in there. He got the keyboard to appear. "All right, what's the password?" He asked.

"Well... Belle, Snow White..." Donald started.

"Aurora, Alice, Jasmine, Cinderella..." Goofy said as Tron was typing the names on the keyboard.

The six of us looked at Sora. "Kairi." He said.

"Kairi, got it." Tron said and turned back to the computer and typed in Kairi's name. All of a sudden, we felt the ground shake a bit then he faced us again. "That did it!" He said then the alarm went off and we looked around us.

"Now switching DTD from hibernation to active mode. This process will take some time. Please enjoy a game while the process is running." A voice said.

Tron turned back to the keyboard. "Oh, no!" He said as he was typing on the keyboard.

"Not another game!" Mal said.

Tron faced us again. "No, it's the DTD's final security routine. This isn't a game. Stay focused!" He said. Once we defeated some Heartless, Tron went back to the computer and put his hand on the center of the keyboard. After a while, he checked his hands a bit then faced us. "I'm as good as new! All my functions have been restored!" He said.

"Oh boy!" Donald said then the alarm went off again.

We looked around us from above then a beam hit the center, causing Tron to jump back so he could avoid it and the six of us to each be flung back. "Finally. I have full access to the DTD. My takeover of the system is now complete. I might have anticipated such a simple password. What's this? An emergency destruct program for the town. Let's seem how it performs." A voice said.

"No!" Tron said then turned back to the keyboard and put his hand back on it then typed on in.

"Program! You changed the password!" The voice said, causing Tron to look up.

"There, that should buy us some time." Tron said, looking at us.

"Tron! Tell us what's going on!" I said after we went back to him.

"The MCP's loading a hostile program into the I/O tower." Tron said.

"What do we do?" Donald asked.

"We've got to protect the User town. Let's head to the tower!" Tron said.

We followed him to the tower he was talking about when we saw a giant floating Heartless above us. "I'm disappointed in you, Program. Why do you insist on allying with these selfish Users?" The voice asked.

"Because I want to help them. Something written into my code commands me to do what is right." Tron said.

"Really? And what command would that be?" The voice asked.

Tron shrugged a bit at the ceiling. "I can't really say for sure." He said, looking at us.

"Friends- They help each other, that's all." Ben said.

"Uh-oh- look out!" Sora said as we looked at the giant Heartless. After a while, we defeated it. It fell and started glowing. We each shielded ourselves then it made a small explosion and disappeared.

We got into the tower and we saw Tron at a computer that was there. "I really owe you one. With all my functions up and running, I think I've got a chance of getting system control away from the MCP. Now I'd better get to work. It's my User would want." He said.

"What Ansem would want..." Mal muttered a bit then the four of us looked at Donald and Goofy. The two of them nodded once at us.

We turned back to Tron. "Listen, Tron. We didn't get the password from Ansem. We just sort of found it, back in the User world. By accident. And one more thing... Ansem- he was our enemy. I mean...he still is...I guess." I said, causing Tron to get up.

"Well, actually...he's my enemy, too." Tron said.

"What do you mean?" Ben asked.

"Ansem took ENCOM's original system and customized it for his own use. I was part of the original system, and Ansem modified me, too. So that makes him my User. But Ansem is also the one who brought back the MCP. The Ansem I first knew wouldn't do that. I'm sorry I didn't tell you all." Tron said as he was looking at us.

"That's okay...but now we REALLY don't get it." Sora said.

"I don't...understand it either. But I think Users, like you, are going to be the ones who will finally figure it out. You have the ability to take illogical routes and still arrive at the answers you seek. Now go- before the MCP starts acting up again!" Tron said then the six of us got ready to leave the computer world. "Any data you need from the DTD can be accessed directly through my User's terminal. I'll keep a dedicated access channel open for you. I changed the password, so you won't have to worry about the MCP for a while." He said.

"Access channel?" I asked.

"I knew you'd ask." Tron said with a soft laugh. He turned back to the computer, pressed a key then looked back at us. "It's a very important link between our worlds. It's how we stay connected." He said. "You all, Uma and Harry...my friends...are the new password." He said as we were leaving the computer world.

"Thanks Tron! Take care!" Mal said, smiling.

"You too! And give my best to the Users!" Tron said with a thumbs up.

We left the computer world and was back in the computer room. "Well, that's that!" Ben said.

"Look." Leon said, pointing at the computer. We saw an orange screen with computer versions of ourselves, Uma and Harry and the words THANK YOU! under it.

"Tron...hang in there." I said.

"So, where do we start?" Leon asked.

"I know! Let's access the DTD!" Sora said.

"And this time maybe we can find out about Gil and the others." A voice said. We looked over and saw Harry carrying an unconscious Uma in his arms.

"What happened?" Ben asked as Harry set Uma gently down on the ground.

"One of those creatures you guys call the Heartless was about to attack me from behind but she protected me by taking the attack instead." Harry said as Mal went over to the two.

"Where are the wounds?" Mal asked. She worked on the wounds that Harry pointed at.

"When did you become a medical expert?" Harry asked her as he put the back of Uma's head onto his lap.

"Since Ben called me the healer back at another world." Mal said.

"I know we haven't been on the best terms with you guys but thank you." Harry said.

"Wow, this is a big change in you." Mal said, grinning.

"Don't get used to it, Traitor." Harry said, grinning back.

"And there it is." Mal said with a chuckle.

The five of us looked around us for the King and Evie. "The King and Evie are checking the situation in town. They'll be back soon, so don't worry. Hey, look, it's asking for a password." Leon said.

"That's easy. It's..." Goofy started.

"Sora!" Sora said.

"Donald!" Donald said.

"Ben." Ben said.

"Jay." I said.

"Mal, Uma, Harry." Mal said.

"Goofy!" Goofy said.

"That's...to the point." Leon said, typing on the computer.

"We're part of a password?" A voice asked. We looked over and saw Uma waking up.

"Yeah, Tron included you two as his friends." Ben said.

"Well?" Sora asked.

"That did it. We're in." Leon said. He faced us. "I have to go into town. Need to see what that last shakeup did." He said.

"You're not gonna check out the data? It wasn't exactly easy to get!" I said.

"I'm coming right back. Hey, Sora- since Mal's busy working on Uma's wounds, why don't you get started on loading the data and either Ben or Jay start copying it down?" Leon asked, looking at the computer then back at us. He saw the look on our faces. "It's just a few keystrokes. Easy, right?" He asked, putting a hand on Sora's shoulder and another hand on my shoulder as he was walking past us. He waved at us as he was leaving the computer room.

"So, who has the better handwriting?" Sora asked, looking at me and Ben.

"I do. Be right back." Ben said. He went to the other room then came back with a pen and a notebook he found there. "Back." He said.

"Okay, you can copying it down then." Sora said. He typed on the computer while Ben was ready with the pen and notebook.

"Did it work?" Donald asked.

"Hey, these things take time, okay?" Sora asked.

"Be patient, Donald." Ben said.

"While you five are waiting, I need your help over here, Jay." Mal said.

I looked over at her, nodded softly and went over to her, Uma and Harry. "What'cha need?" I asked.

"I need you to take Harry's spot and put the back of Uma's head on your lap because I need Harry across from me so he can hold her hand. Be quick but gentle about it because I don't want things to get worse for Uma." Mal said.

"Got it." I said and took Harry's spot quickly but gently so things wouldn't get worse for Uma.

Harry was holding Uma's hand as he was sitting across from Mal. "Why did you need me to hold her hand?" He asked.

"Because Uma has a slightly deep wound here that will hurt her as I'm trying to work on it so to keep her from moving to make it worse, I need you to hold her hand firmly when she squeezes your hand so she doesn't move." Mal said.

"She's gonna be okay after you're done, right?" Harry asked.

"Yes but only if she rests as soon as I'm done working on the wound because if she moves after I'm done, it'll only make it worse for her." Mal said.

"I'll make sure she stays still then." Harry said.

"Okay, here we go. I'm sorry about this, Uma but it needs to be done otherwise it's gonna get even more worse if I don't do it now." Mal said.

As soon as Mal started working on the slightly deep wound Uma had the side that was towards Mal, Harry firmly gripped Uma's hand when Uma started yelping in pain while squeezing Harry's hand. "I'm right here, Uma. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." Harry said.

"I hate feeling weak like this but it hurts so bad." Uma said.

"I know but as Mal said, it needs to be done." Harry said.

"I know." Uma said.

"Whoa..." Sora said, causing me to look over at him.

"What happened?" I asked.

"It's doing something!" Sora said.

"Huh?" Donald asked.

"I think it wants to know what we wanna know." Goofy said.

"Riku and Kairi!" Sora said.

"Don't forget Carlos, Omar, Grace and Gil." I said.

"Noted." Sora said.

"That's great and all but Jay, I need you to focus here." Mal snapped, causing me to look back at her.

"Right, sorry." I said.

"No way... Even Ansem's computer doesn't know..." Sora said.

"Hey, we'll find them. Don't worry." Ben said.

"Whatcha doing?" Donald asked.

"I thought I'd ask the computer if it can tell us about them Nobodies." Goofy said.

"Fine but do it quietly please. Trying to work on a wound here." Mal said.

"Sorry." Goofy said.

"Okay, I'm almost done, Uma. Just a bit more." Mal said. She sighed softly in relief with a smile. "There. Done. Harry, you can let go of her hand now. All she needs to do now is rest for a while." She said, putting the supplies away.

"Thanks again, Mal." Harry said, still holding Uma's hand.

"No problem. Just remember that I did this for you two." Mal said, getting up.

"What's this?" Ben asked, causing the three of us to look over at the computer since Uma closed her eyes to rest.

"Go. I'll take it from here." Harry told me. I nodded softly and swiftly but gently moved again. I followed Mal to the computer and we saw a symbol with a report on it.

"The data is corrupt." The computer said.

"What!?" Donald asked.

"How about the Organization?" Goofy asked as he typed some keys. "There!" He said.

"The data is corrupt." The computer said again.

"Stupid computer!" I said after I hit the keys.

"Jay!" Goofy said then an image of a blonde man appeared on the screen.

"Huh?" Donald asked.

"Who's this guy?" Sora asked.

"Welp, we see ya got things workin'!" A voice said, causing us to look over.

We saw the King and Evie there. "Oh, Your Majesty! Evie!" The six of us said at the same time.

The two each put a finger to their lips then walked over to us. "Good goin'. The computer should tell us the things we need to know." The King said.

"But it keeps on sayin' the data inside's all ker-skuffled." Goofy said.

"All we got is a picture of some guy we don't know." Ben said.

"Ansem the Wise!" Evie said.

We looked at each other then back at the duo. "Come on, are you both teasing us again?" Mal asked.

"Did you both forget what Ansem looked like, Your Majesty and Evie?" Donald asked.

"Of course I do! And this is him! I'm positive!" The King said.

"The King had even told me about him!" Evie said.

"Huh?" Donald asked.

"Excuse me? Can you both come this way, please?" Sora asked as he grabbed the King and started pulling him to the other room.

"You guys go. I'm gonna stay here with Uma until she wakes up again." Harry said, causing us to look over at him.

"Oh, great. You healed her, Mal." Evie said, smiling.

"Yeah but she's resting right now. Anyway, let's go." Mal said, turning Evie around and started pushing her after Sora and the King. Donald, Goofy, Ben and I followed them to the other room. "Look, THIS is Ansem. You know, the guy we all worked reeeally hard to defeat?" She asked once we got back to the other room and stood in front of the portrait.

"Oh, that's right- we never finished explaining." The King said.

"What?" Donald asked.

"Well, the man in the picture is definitely the one who tried to take over Kingdom Hearts- the one you guys defeated." Evie started.

"But, what you actually fought was his Heartless. Ya see, he wasn't really Ansem. He just went around telling everyone that he was." The King finished for her.

"You mean..." Ben started as the six of us started thinking.

"Ohh..." Donald said at the same time as Ben and Goofy.

"Hmm..." Goofy said at the same time as Ben and Donald.

The six of us looked at each other then back at the portrait when we realized. "Whaaaat?" The five of us asked at the same time in surprise which caused the King and Evie to flinch in surprise.

"Huh?" Goofy asked.

"We went through all that trouble to defeat an impostor?" I asked as Ben, Mal, Sora and I each looked down in defeat.

"Yep. A fake. But he still had to be stopped." Evie said.

"Aw, I can't believe it..." Donald said.

"Uh, I'm kinda confused. If he's a fake, then what happened to the real Ansem?" Goofy asked.

"Welp, that's just what we're tryin' to figure out." The King said.

"Ansem the Wise should know all about Organization XVI's plans, and what's been happening to the worlds. I'm pretty sure he'll give us some help." Evie said.

"Ya know, I came close to finding him once..." The King said.

"Hmm..." Goofy said.

"Don't tell me there's more? We're lost enough as it is!" Mal said.

Goofy faced us. "Well, let's see. Some feller named Ansem, who wasn't really Ansem, became a Heartless. Does that mean a Nobody got created when that happened, too?" Goofy asked.

"Yup! And that Nobody is the leader of the Organization." Evie said.

"Whaaaat?" The six of us asked again.

The two faced the portrait again. "I know I've met this fake Ansem before, and I've seen Organization XVI, too. Hmm, kinda felt like bein' around the same fella." The King said.

"So, where did you meet this guy?" Ben asked.

"Gosh... I can't remember." The King said.

"Ansem the Wise- the real Ansem- must know the impostor's true identity. That's why we've got to find him and ask him about it." Evie said.

We each glared at the portrait. "You...! You started all of this! Because of you, Riku and Kairi... Oh! Your Majesty, Evie, do either one of you know where Riku is?" Sora asked.

That was when both of them flinched a bit. "He's... We're sorry. We can't help." The King said.

"Really, Your Majesty and Evie? Are you both sure?" Sora asked.

The two turned away from him. "We're sorry, Sora." Evie said.

"What about Kairi, Carlos, Omar, Grace and Gil? Organization XVI might've kidnapped them." Ben said, causing the two to look at us.

"Oh, no!" The King said.

"That would explain why Uma and Harry are here with you guys." Evie said.

The two of them looked back at the portrait again. "Sora, Donald, Goofy, Ben, Mal, Jay." The King said then the two faced us again. "We were plannin' to go get help from Ansem the Wise. But now- we know we forgot the most important thing. Helping others should always come before asking others for help. We're safe and sound- and free to choose! So there's no reason we shouldn't choose to help our friends. Let's look for Riku, Kairi, Carlos, Omar, Grace and Gil together." He said.

"We're helping too." A voice said. We looked over at the entrance of the computer room and saw Uma and Harry there.

"What about your injury?" Evie asked.

"I'll be fine. I've gotten hurt before. Plus, I rested enough." Uma said as she was on Harry's back.

"I'm gonna protect her more." Harry said.

All of a sudden, the ground shook. "Outside!" Mal said.

"Sounds like we gotta start by helpin' out here!" The King said then ran out with Evie. We each nodded as we watched him.

"Hang on, Uma." Harry said.

"Already am." Uma said. The eight of us ran out after them.

"Hear me, my Heartless! Attack the white husks! Sweep them away!" A familiar voice said.

"What, are you nuts? We're never gonna win! I don't know about you, but I'm outta here, sister!" Another familiar voice said.

"You pathetic coward!" The first familiar voice said. We got to the square in the hallway and saw the Heartless and Nobodies fighting each other then we saw Maleficent there. She scoffed at us a bit then looked at my side. "Mal, why don't you join me, Pete, Cassia, Joey and your sister? You could do so much more with us; despite the fact that you help defeat me last year." She said. The seven of us looked at Mal and I saw her glaring at Maleficent.

"Never." Mal snarled.

"Very well then." Maleficent said and disappeared. "Heartless! Leave the white ones. Turn your attention to Sora and his friends!" Maleficent's voice said, causing the Heartless to stop fighting the Nobodies and face us.

"Uh-oh!" Goofy said.

"Harry, you and Uma need to stay back for this one." Sora said.

"No way. I'm gonna help you guys fight." Harry said.

"Fine but put Uma down somewhere where she'll be safe for right now." I said.

"Okay." Harry said then he ran off then he came back without Uma. "Ready." He said.

The seven of us fought off the Heartless and Nobodies then we defeated them. "Where did you put Uma at?" Mal asked.

"At the entrance that leads to outside." Harry said.

"All right. Let's go get her then get outside." Sora said.

We each nodded once and we were about to go there with Harry when we saw the three fairies from before fly over to us. "Where's Maleficent?" The first one asked.

"Looks like she ran away." I said.

"Well, that was PRET-ty lame of her." The second fairy said.

"I guess we picked the wrong side." The third fairy said. The three of them faced each other and started whispering to each other.

"Umm, hey...if you're looking to pick sides, why don't you pick Leon's? They can always use help." Ben said.

They turned back to us. "Does this Leon have any treasure?" The first fairy asked.

"Yeah, lots of stuff!" Donald said.

That made the two of the three smile. "Perfect!" The second fairy said.

"Come on." The third fairy said.

"Who ARE you?" Sora asked.

"Oh, we're nothing worth mentioning." The first fairy said.

"Just three treasure fanatics." The third fairy said.

"Later, taters!" The second fairy said, waving at us with both hands then the three of them disappeared.

"Did Leon...really have any treasure?" Harry asked. We heard Donald chuckle which caused us to turn around then we saw him run off so we ran after him. We got to Uma and Harry put her back on his back.

We got outside and saw three Nobodies appear. We got ready to fight. "We don't have time for you!" Mal said and she, Ben and Sora each hit one then we ran after the three Nobodies were defeated.

"Whoa!" Sora said as we saw a beam of light appear out of thin air.

That was when we saw a person with silver hair. Wait. Silver hair? He turned around and looked at us. "Guys, it's Sephiroth!" Donald said.

"Ain't Sephiroth the one who's supposed to be the dark part of Cloud's heart?" Goofy asked.

"Did Cloud tell you that? Then he must understand now." The person named Sephiroth said.

"Just what are you gonna do to him?" Uma asked.

"Nothing. Cloud is the one who hungers for darkness." Sephiroth said.

"He said he's got a score to settle with you." Harry said.

"I see... He wants to meet me again." Sephiroth said then turned back around and walked away. "Then I should give him what he wants." He said then he stopped. "That bit of light is always the hardest to snuff out." He said then he flew up and disappeared.

We were about to run off to help everyone out when we saw the three fairies from a little while ago. "Huh?" Mal asked.

"They came from that hole over there." Goofy said, causing us to look at a giant hole on the side of the building.

"I don't remember that being there before. I wonder where it leads." I said.

"We don't have time for that now! We have to go after the King and Evie!" Donald said.

We ran down the path when we saw Aerith between Leon and Yuffie. "We'll help!" Ben said.

Aerith turned around and looked at us. "Sora! Ben! Mal! Jay! Behind you!" She said, pointing at something behind us all.

We turned around and saw the Nobodies appearing there.

"Harry!" Mal said.

"I know!" Harry said.

"No. I wanna fight this time." Uma said.

"Are you sure?" Sora asked.

"Yes." Uma said, getting off Harry's back and got ready to help us fight.

"Okay then." I said. The eight of us fought the Nobodies and defeated them.

We saw Aerith running off with Yuffie then saw Leon looking at us. "The King and Evie are at the bailey. You guys better head over there!" Leon said.

"Got it!" Mal said. Leon turned around and ran off after Aerith and Yuffie.

"Get on my back again, Uma." Harry said.

"No, I'm fine, Harry. Let's go." Uma said and ran off. The seven of us ran off after her. Once we got there, we stopped as we saw it completely broken then looked at the view and ran again.

We stopped again and looked at the view closely. "Whoa..." Sora said.

"What's going on?" Harry asked.

"A bunch of Heartless are coming this way." Sora said.

"We better get moving then." Ben said.

"Leon, everybody- hang in there!" Mal said.

We ran a bit then saw the King and Evie jump down in front of us, blocking the way. "Okay, fellas, you've gotta go find Riku, Kairi, Carlos, Omar, Grace and Gil!" The King said.

"But Leon and the others are friends too!" I said.

"Don't worry. There's already a lot of help here. We'll take care of this fight." Evie said.

"But...we promised Leon!" Harry said.

"Donald! Goofy! Take Sora, Ben, Mal, Jay, Uma and Harry and get goin'!" The King said.

"Riku, Kairi, Carlos, Omar, Grace, Gil...give us a little time, okay?" Uma said.

"Your Majesty! Evie!" Donald said.

"We understand. We'll go search for Riku, Kairi, Carlos, Omar, Grace and Gil!" Goofy said, causing the six of us to look at them.

"Right. Watch for danger!" Evie said.

"You both be careful, too!" Donald said.

"Wait, you guys!" I said.

"Whose side are you two on!?" Mal asked then we looked back at the King and Evie.

"Sora, Ben, Mal, Jay, Uma, Harry, do as you're each told!" Donald said.

"You all are comin' with us whether ya guys want to or not!" Goofy said.

"C'mon, guys! Ya all gotta be good!" Donald said then winked at us.

That was when I realized what they were up to and we each started to smile. "Gotcha." Ben said.

"Well then, skedaddle!" Goofy said.

Thank you. We each mouthed to them then we faced back to the King and Evie.

"Let's go!" Donald said. We nodded once then ran past the King and Evie. We jumped off into the cliffs.

"We're sorry, Your Majesty and Evie!" Harry said and he, Ben, Sora and I each jumped off the cliff. Ben caught Mal while Harry caught Uma after the two girls jumped down to us. Donald and Goofy were the last two to jump down to us.

Normal mode:

A hooded figure appeared in the computer room, destroyed a camera with a blast of electricity and went to the computer. He put a disk into the computer and typed in a password. He typed in another set of passwords then grabbed the disk when it came out of the computer and he put it in his pocket. He left from the other side and went down some steps. He went through a secret entrance that was there and he was walking down a long spiral slope. "Master Ansem. Regarding the experiment I presented the other day... With your permission, I'd like to proceed-" A voice said.

"I forbid it! Forget this talk of doors, and the heart of all worlds. That place must not be defiled!" Another voice called Master Ansem said.

"But, Master Ansem! I've been thinking..." The first voice said.

"Xehanort... Those thoughts are best forgotten." Master Ansem said.

The figure got to a door and walked down a hallway. He walked into a room and sat down in a chair that was there. "It has been far too long, friend." He said, looking at the armor in front of him.

Back at the Organization lair, Zexion was heading to his work area. "Zexion! Zexion!" A voice called, causing him to look up and saw Vexen running down the steps to him.

"Right here. What is it?" Zexion asked, annoyed as he watched him after he stopped walking.

"Where is Lord Xemnas?" Vexen asked.

"His usual spot." Zexion said.

"The Chamber of Repose?" Vexen asked.

"Yes. Go and see for yourself." Zexion said.

"That isn't funny. I suppose I have no choice but to wait. But the clock is ticking. Time is running out. What to do? Why is he never around when I need him? It's almost as if he knows I'm looking for him." Vexen said, walking past Zexion and not noticing that Zexion was watching from the side.

Zexion resumed his walk a bit up the steps then stopped when he heard another voice. "You know, I don't like that place either. What about you, Zexion? What do you think?" The voice asked as Zexion looked up from behind him and saw a figure sitting up there.

"I think eavesdropping is intrusive. Why are you even here? You and Xaldin were tasked to recruit new members. Have you forgotten, or were you procrastinating?" Zexion asked as the figure jumped down to him.

"As if! I'm doing my job. I'll have you know, I found one just yesterday. Mar something. That puts the Organization's count at 11. And since I've been working so hard, I had Lexaeus take my place for the day. I want to rest up for tomorrow, so I can wake up feeling nice and refreshed." The figure said.

"Is that so? Well, then, I will leave you to it. I have work to catch up on. Good day." Zexion said then turned away from the figure and headed for the steps.

The figure ran after him a bit and put an arm around his shoulders. "Oh, don't be like that. Come on. Stay and talk. Isn't it time you told me about Xemnas' secret?" He asked then walked away from Zexion a bit. "How long ago was it? When a bunch of warriors wielding key-shaped swords appeared and unleashed a spectacular battle. And when it was all over, all that was left was a man lying unconscious without his memories. Xemnas...er, I mean Xehanort was found by Ansem right around then, wasn't he?" He asked as he was walking up the steps.

"Your point?" Zexion asked, watching him.

"The Chamber of Repose. If you recall, that's where we spent our time researching the darkness that resides within people's hearts. It's a graveyard that was sealed by order by Ansem the Wise. The first thing Xemnas did once he got rid of him was to undo the seal and build a room in the back. Ever since then, he holes himself up in that room when he can, and he talks to someone. But who? For all I know, he's the only one in that room." The figure said, looking back at Zexion.

"Need I repeat myself about eavesdropping?" Zexion asked as he watched the figure walk back over to him.

"Not eavesdropping. Couldn't hear what they were saying. Dying to find out what it was, though. You wouldn't know anything about it, would you?" The figure asked.

"I know I would very much like to focus on my own duties. As you should with yours. For we need to prepare the new facility immediately, but there are only 11 of us in the organization. We're going to need a few more hands on deck." Zexion said, walking past the figure and started heading up the steps.

"What new facility? Oh, you mean Castle Oblivion? What does Xemnas plan on doing with that place, anyway?" The figure asked.

"He already shared his intentions with us." Zexion said, walking up the steps.

"But did you know there's something he DIDN'T share?" The figure asked, seeing that Zexion stopped walking again. "The Chamber of Repose is part of a pair. The Chamber of Waking is the other. Another graveyard, if you want to call it that. It was constructed by someone other than Xemnas himself. And that's where he'll find it. That's where he'll find his other friend." The figure said, causing Zexion to look at him again.

Ben's pov:

We got to an area then stopped and saw someone appearing. It was the guy from the Underworld. "Hey, you guys are looking lively." The guy said.

"Scram!" Donald said.

"Didn't we catch you messing around in the Underworld?" I asked.

"How'd a wimp like you get into Organization XVI?" Mal asked, causing the guy to gasp a bit.

"I bet you can't even fight." Jay said.

"Yeah, but we can!" Donald said.

"You shouldn't judge anyone by appearance." The guy said. We each got ready to fight. The guy turned around and muttered something but we couldn't hear it.

"Who is this kook?" Harry asked.

"Remember, the Organization's made up of Nobodies." Goofy said.

"Right- no hearts!" Sora said.

The guy turned back to us. "Oh, we do too have hearts! Don't be mad..." He said.

"You can't trick us!" Donald said.

The guy turned around again then pointed at Sora, Mal, Jay and I. "Silence, traitors." He said.

"Why did he point at you four?" Uma asked.

"Not sure why." I told her as the guy summoned his weapon.

We fought the guy and defeated him. His weapon disappeared then he faded away. "Anyone from the Organization who'd like to be next?" Mal asked as she, Jay, Sora, Uma and Harry each looked around us.

"Hey, Mal! Don't antagonize them!" Donald said, causing the five of them to look at the three of us.

"Yeah, we gotta go help our friends out first." Goofy said.

"Oh. Sorry." Mal said.

"Then let's go!" Donald said and the three of us were about to walk to them when we froze in place as we each heard a voice.

"Aha! There you all are!" The voice said. The three of us turned around and saw the King and Evie, glaring at us.

"They're in trouble now." Uma whispered.

"We are too." Harry whispered back.

They walked over to us and they were still glaring at us then they looked at each other. "You guys sure have lotsa friends to help." The King said.

"Never mind." Uma whispered again.

"So, we guess we better all pull together and finish this battle for good!" Evie said.

"Yes, Your Majesty and Evie!" The eight of us said.

"Look out!" Goofy said and pushed both The King and Evie out of the way then got hit with something and was flung back. He was unconscious now.

"Goofy!" The four of us said as we ran over to him with Donald.

"No..." The King muttered a bit.

"Hey! You're the King's captain! You gotta get up!" Donald said after we got over to him with Uma and Harry.

"C'mon, wake up!" I said.

"I'm sorry about the ice cream!" Donald said.

"Goofy...?" Evie asked.

"Ohhhh...Goofy..." Donald said, laying his head on Goofy's chest.

"This is not happening... It can't be happening... It can't..." Ben muttered. He held a crying Mal.

"They'll pay for this." The King said, causing me to look over at him and Evie. I saw they each ripped off their robes and made their keyblades appear then ran off. Donald yelled out in anger and ran after the King and Evie.

We were about to stop Donald but we each looked at Goofy and each sighed silently then we looked at each other, we each nodded once and ran after Donald. We helped our friends fight along the way then we got a cave with giant crystals in the walls. Once we got there, the six of us each sat down on the ground so we could each catch our breaths as we looked at Donald, the King and Evie. "Are you guys okay?" Evie asked.

"Yeah, we're fine, but..." Mal trailed off. We looked at her because we knew who she was talking about.

"Ohh, Goofy..." Donald said.

"Hey, fellas!" A voice behind us said, causing the six of us to turn around quickly after we saw the surprised looks on their faces.

We saw Goofy there, waving at us with a smile. "Goofy!" Ben, Mal, Sora, Donald, Evie, the King and I said at the same time.

"He's okay. Thank goodness." Uma muttered in relief.

Goofy ran over to us. "Ya know, that really hurt!" He said.

"Aw, Goofy!" The King said as he, Mal and Evie hugged him at the same time.

"Gawrsh, Yer Majesty, Evie, Mal, I get bumped on the head all the time." Goofy said. Uma, Harry, Sora, Ben and I each chuckled a bit as we watched them then we watched Donald walk over to them. We saw Donald hit Goofy in the shin with his staff then watched Goofy jump on one foot in pain after Evie, Mal and the King each broke the hug with Goofy. "That hurt, too." He said, looking at Donald.

"Don't you ever do that again!" Donald said.

We heard Donald yelling at Goofy then we looked at the side and saw the broken castle that was once Maleficent's lair. We ran towards that way with the King and Evie then we stopped when we saw that the Heartless weren't moving. "Huh?" Evie asked.

"What's with them?" Harry asked.

"Hey!" Goofy said, causing us to look at him then look at the direction he was pointing at.

We saw a figure there with their hood up then he took his hood off and looked down at us. "It's the guy who's NOT Ansem!" Donald said.

"You mean it's his Nobody!" Goofy said.

"The leader of Organization XVI..." I said.

"Wait a minute. Now I know!" The King said.

Normal mode:

King Mickey was in Ansem's study, looking at him. "Wise Ansem. I'm here to seek your advice." He said.

Ansem the Wise was sitting in his chair, holding an ice cream pop in his hand. "I'm glad we have the opportunity to speak like this, my friend. I'm intrigued by your hypothesis...and I'm finding it difficult to stave off the urge to test it. Still, I'm concerned about the stability of the worlds." He said.

"Yep, that's what worries me too." King Mickey said.

"The doors that appeared. The place the Heartless seek. I fear my research may have brought this upon us..." Ansem said, putting his head in his hand.

The two heard a knock on the door which caused them to look at the door. They saw a young man with silver hair and a white lab robe walk in. The man slightly bowed out of respect. "Master Ansem. Regarding the experiment I presented the other day... With your permission, I'd like to proceed-" He said.

"I forbid it! Forget this talk of doors, and the heart of all worlds. That place must not be defiled!" Ansem said, standing up from his seat.

"But, Master Ansem! I've been thinking..." The man started.

Ansem shook his head at him. "Xehanort... Those thoughts are best forgotten." He said.

The man named Xehanort restrained himself, slightly bowed again and closed the door from the outside of the room.

Mal's pov:

"Now I remember! Xehanort! Ansem's apprentice! The leader of Organization XVI is Xehanort's Nobody!" The King said. He and Evie each made their keyblades reappear and ran off.

"Let's go!" Uma said. The seven of us each nodded and we were about to follow the King and Evie when the Heartless moved and surrounded us.

The eight of us each got ready to fight. "Move it!" Sora said. We made a giant circle with our backs facing each other.

"We can't let Xehanort get away!" Donald said.

"Right!" Ben said then the eight of us looked at each other, we gave each other a thumbs up and we went our separate ways to fight the Heartless.

Once I finished defeating my set of Heartless, I ran so I could meet up with Ben, Jay, Sora, Uma, Harry, Donald and Goofy. I turned around and I saw them running over to me. "Where are the King and Evie?" I asked.

"There they are!" Donald said, pointing at a direction behind me.

I turned around and saw the King and Evie each fighting a Heartless of their own. "C'mon!" Jay said.

We ran over to help them. "Your Majesty! Evie!" Donald said as we ran over to them which caused them to look at us then they looked at the direction they were first looking at.

"Xehanort!" The King said.

"How long has it been since I abandoned that name..." Xehanort's Nobody said.

"Out with it, Nobody! Where are Kairi, Carlos, Omar, Grace and Gil?" Uma asked.

"Where's Riku!?" Sora asked.

"I know nothing of any Kairi, Carlos, Omar, Grace or Gil. As for Riku... Perhaps you should ask your king or your blue-haired friend." Xehanort's Nobody said, facing us.

We looked at the King and Evie. "Stop!" Evie said and charged towards Xehanort's Nobody with the King. Xehanort's Nobody disappeared and both the King and Evie jumped through the portal after him.

We ran to go after them but we stopped as we saw the portal disappear. "They're gone..." Uma said then she, Sora and I each fell to the ground on our butts and looked down in defeat.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked to see that Ben was standing there. "We'll find them together. I promise you that, Mal." He said.

I smiled sadly at him. "Sora, Goofy, Mal, Ben, Uma, Harry." Donald said, sadly. "Huh?" He asked, causing us to look at him.

"What is it?" Harry asked after we each got up and faced him.

"Look behind you guys." Jay said.

We looked behind us and saw that the moat around the broken castle was empty. "What's goin' on?" Goofy asked.

"Way to fall right into their trap." A voice behind us said. We turned around and saw a man with red hair leaning against a wall. We ran over a bit then stopped and got ready to fight him. He got off the wall. "C'mon, it's a set-up by Organization XVI. Xemnas is using you four to destroy the Heartless- that's his big master plan." He said, walking away from the wall a bit.

"Xemnas?" Donald asked.

"The guy you all just saw. He's their leader. Got it memorized? X-E-M, N-A-S." The man said.

"Organization XVI wants to get rid of the Heartless?" Goofy asked.

"Man, you all are slow." The man said then pointed at our keyblades. "Every Heartless slain with those Keyblades each release a captive heart. That is what the Organization is after." He said.

"So what are those guys gonna do with the hearts?" Donald asked.

"I'm not telling." The man said.

"Tell us!" Donald said.

"You...you're the one who kidnapped Kairi and took Carlos and Gil with you!" Sora said.

"Bingo. The name's Axel. Got it memorized?" The man named Axel asked.

"Where are Kairi, Carlos and Gil?" I asked. Axel didn't say anything as he scratched the side of his head a bit. "Please. Just tell us!" I said.

Axel looked up after he sighed silently. "Look, about Kairi, Carlos and Gil... I'm sorry." He said as he looked back at us.

"Axel!" A voice said then the person from Twilight Town appeared.

"Uh-oh!" Axel said and disappeared.

Sora, Uma and I each started to run to Axel but the man stopped us. "We'll ensure he receives the maximum punishment." The man said.

"We don't care about any of that! Just let us into the realm of darkness, okay!?" Sora asked.

"If it's Kairi, Carlos and Gil you each are worried about, don't. We're taking very good care of them along with Omar and Grace." The man said, facing us.

"Take us to them." Uma said.

"Are they that important to you three?" The man asked.

"Yeah. More than anything." I said.

"Show me how important." The man said.

The three of us looked at each other then we each sighed and looked down. Sora got down on his hands and knees while Uma and I each got down on one knee at the same time. "Please." I said.

"So, you three really do care about them. In that case- the answer's no." The man said.

The three of us each quickly got up. "You rotten...!" Sora said.

"You don't get to raise our hopes up, only to crush them!" I snarled.

"Are you all angry? Do you all hate me? Then take those rages, and direct them at the Heartless." The man said then he snapped his fingers and the Heartless appeared behind him. We each got ready to fight. The man looked up at the sky. "Pitiful Heartless, mindlessly collecting hearts. And yet they know not the true power of what they hold. The rage of each Keyblade release those hearts. They gather in darkness, masterless and free...until they weave together to make Kingdom Hearts. And when that time comes, we can truly, finally exist." He said, looking back at us.

"What in the world do you think you're prattling on about?" A voice behind us asked. We turned to the left and slightly saw the past version of my mom there. "Kingdom Hearts belongs to me! The heart of all kingdoms, the heart of all that lives. A dominion fit to be called Kingdom Hearts must be MY dominion!" She said.

"Maleficent, no! No more Heartless!" Ben said.

"I do not take orders from any of you!" Mom said then made the Heartless appear around the man.

"Fool..." The man said then snapped his fingers again. The Nobodies appeared and surrounded the Heartless then made the Heartless disappear.

The Nobodies faced us. "Oh no!" Jay said and the six of us each shielded ourselves as we waited for the impact but nothing happened so we looked and saw Mom there standing in the way of the Nobodies then she set up a wall of green flames.

"While I keep these creatures at bay, you all each devise a way to vanquish them- forever!" Mom said.

"Maleficent!" Sora muttered.

The Nobodies started to tackle mom to the ground but she tried to maintain her balance. "Do not misunderstand me. I shall have my revenge on you all yet." She said then she fell as a few more Nobodies tackled her.

"Maleficent!" I said. I knew better than to call her mom.

"Leave! Now!" Mom said.

"We don't take orders from you!" Uma said.

"Sora! Ben! Mal! Jay! Uma! Harry! C'mon!" Donald said, causing us to look at him.

"But...what about..." Harry started then we looked at where mom was but we saw her gone.

The fire died down. "Now then. Where did we leave off?" The man asked then he snapped his fingers.

The Nobodies disappeared then the Heartless reappeared and surrounded us this time. We got ready to fight. "Which side are you guys on anyway?" Ben asked.

"The Heartless ally with whoever's the strongest." The man said then held his hand out at us. The Heartless started coming towards us two by two and we each fought them. "Yes, Sora, Ben, Mal and Jay! Extract more hearts!" He said the disappeared.

The eight of us backed up until we were each back to back then the four of us looked up to the sky. "No! The hearts!" I said then we each tried to block an attack by the Heartless.

"Maybe everything we've done... Maybe it was all for nothing. What are the four of us supposed to do if we can't use the Keyblades!?" Sora asked.

"Imbeciles! You can't be trusted to do anything!" A familiar voice said.

"Huh?" I asked as we saw a bright light.

Normal mode:

Leon was with Cloud, looking at the broken castle when the two saw a bright flash there. "Sora! Donald! Goofy! Ben! Mal! Jay! Uma! Harry!" He said.

"Relax. Those eight aren't going down that easily. The Keyblades' chosen ones... They're lucky kids." Cloud said, causing Leon to look at him then watched him walk away.

Leon turned back to the broken castle then saw a beam of light going up to the sky. "See you all soon." He said.

Meanwhile at the lair, Sai'x appeared in his seat. "Sora, Ben, Mal and Jay each know the truth now. The more Heartless that they defeat, the closer they are to becoming our perfect puppets. This new knowledge will make them that much harder to control." He said.

"What does it matter really? Whatever their circumstances, Sora, Ben, Mal and Jay each have never been able to help themselves from saving people from the Heartless. It's what their pure little hearts want." The figure from earlier said.

"There- the die have been cast. Things are in motion. They can't stop this." A second figure said.

"Nothing is set in stone. If the die aren't in your favors, you will share Demyx's fate." A third figure said.

"The fun is in not knowing, isn't it? What is the point of betting on something if you already know the outcome?" The second figure asked.

"Are you sure that defeating them won't derail the Organization's plan?" The first figure from before asked.

"If they are to die so easily, they are of no use to us." Xemnas said.

"That's exactly what I wanted to hear. It's not in my nature to hold back." The third figure said.
