Chapter Twenty Nine

I don't own Digimon or Kingdom Hearts

Chapter Twenty Nine: The Siege of the Heartless Part One

Sora, Daisuke, Veemon, Goofy and Donald reappeared in the computer room after giving Tron the password and Leon turned to look at them. "Well, that's that," Sora said.

"Look," Leon told then pointing to a screen that had an image of Sora, Donald, Goofy, Veemon and Daisuke on it with the words Thank You below it.

"Tron….hang in there," Daisuke said as Stich appeared and jumped into her arms. "Hey Stich, miss me?" she asked and Stich nodded. "I missed you too," she cooed and Veemon grumbled under his breath.

"So what do we do now?" Leon asked.

"Let's access the DTD," Sora replied and Leon nodded as he walked to the keypad and started pressing buttons.

"The king's checking the situation in town. He'll be back soon, so don't worry," he told the gang as he found something. "It's asking for a password," he said.

"That's easy," Goofy said.

"Sora,"

"Donald,"

"Goofy,"

"Veemon,"

"Daisuke,"

"That's…to the point," Leon mumbled as he entered the password. "Got it, we're in," he told the others. "I have to go into town," he said. "See what that last shakeup did,"

"You're not going to look at the data? It wasn't exactly easy to get!" Daisuke told him.

"I'm coming right back. Hey, Sora-why don't you get started on loading the data and copying it down?" Leon asked him and Sora sighed. "It's just a few keystrokes, easy right?" he asked walking off.

"Easy…sure," Sora mumbled as he pressed a key.

"Did it work?" Donald asked him.

"These things take time alright!" Sora snapped as he pressed a few more keys. "Whoa, it's doing something," he said.

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

"Riku, Kairi, Kari and Willis," Sora said pressing some keys but nothing came up. "No way…." Sora said saddened as he and Daisuke walked off sadly.

"Even Ansem's computer doesn't know," Daisuke said as Goofy pressed some keys.

"What're you doing?" Veemon asked him.

"I thought the computer could tell us about them nobodies," Goofy said as a report came up.

"What's this?" Sora asked.

"The data is corrupt," the computer said.

"Wha?" Donald quacked.

"What about the Organization," Goofy said pressing some more keys.

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

"Stupid computer!" Daisuke shouted hitting the computer several times.

"Daisuke, calm down," Sora told her as a file appeared with a picture of a man with blonde hair.

"Who's this guy?" Daisuke asked.

"Well, I see you've got things working," Mickey said walking up to them.

"Oh, your majesty!" the group said before Mickey shushed them.

"Good going, the computer should tell us the things we need to know," Mickey said.

"But it keeps saying all the data inside is corrupted," Veemon said.

"All we managed to find was some picture of a guy we don't know," Daisuke told him who looked at the picture and jumped in the air.

"Ansem the Wise!" he said and everyone looked at the picture and then at Mickey.

"Are you teasing us again?" Sora asked.

"Did you forget what Ansem looks like your majesty?" Donald asked him.

"Of course I do. That's him I'm positive," Mickey said and Daisuke sighed before she walked towards him and pulled him out of the compute room.

"Can you come this way please?" she asked and the others followed her and she pushed Mickey in front of the picture in the room outside the computer room. "This is Ansem," she told him. "You know the guy we worked really hard to defeat,"

"Oh that's right I never finished explaining," Mickey said.

"Huh?" Sora asked him.

"Well, the man in the picture is definitely the one who tried to take over Kingdom Hearts—the one you fellas defeated. But, what you actually fought was his Heartless. You see, he wasn't really Ansem. He just went around telling everybody that he was," Mickey explained.

"You mean…." Sora said and the others sighed.

"What!?" everyone shouted making the king jump in the air.

"We went through all that trouble to defeat some imposter?" Veemon asked him.

"Yup, a fake. But he still had to be stopped," Mickey said.

"Aw man, I can't believe it…." Daisuke said as Stich cooed making her smile at him.

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

"Well, that's just what I'm trying to figure out," Mickey replied. "Ansem the Wise should know all about Organization XIII's plans, and what's been happening to the worlds. I'm sure he will give us some help…ya know, I came close to finding him once…."

"Don't tell me there's more, I'm confused enough as it is," Sora said.

"Well….some fella 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 Organisation," Mickey said.

"What!?" everyone shouted again.

"I know I've met this fake Ansem before and I've seen the leader of Organization XIII, too. Kinda felt like being around the same fella," Mickey said.

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

"Gosh…I can't remember," Mickey said.

"Okay. Did everyone get their memories removed or something?" Daisuke asked in exasperation.

"Ansem the Wise. The real Ansem—must know the imposter's true identity. That's why I've got to find him and ask him about it," Mickey said.

"You. You started all of this. Because of you, Riku, Kairi, Willis and Kari…." Sora said.

"Oh, your majesty, do you know where Riku and Willis are?" Daisuke asked him.

"They're…I'm sorry I can't help," Mickey said.

"Really? Are you sure?" Sora asked him.

"I'm sorry, Daisuke, Sora," Mickey said.

"What about Kairi and Kari? Organization XIII might've kidnapped them," Daisuke said.

"Oh no!" Mickey exclaimed. "Sora, Donald, Goofy, Daisuke, Veemon. I was planning on going to get help from Ansem the Wise. But—now I know I 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, Willis and Kari together," he said and the others nodded before a massive explosion was heard and the room shook. "Sounds like we've got to start out here," Mickey said before running off and the others nodded before they followed him outside the castle where they all saw Heartless and Nobodies fighting each other.

"Hear me my Heartless, attack the white husks, sweep them away," Maleficent commanded her Heartless.

"What're you nuts. We'll never win, I don't know about you but I'm out of here sister," Pete said running off.

"Pathetic coward!" she said as she was surrounded by Nobodies before she looked to the side to see Sora and the others and she scoffed before vanishing in a green flame. "Heartless, leave the white ones, attack Sora, Daisuke and their friends," she ordered.

"Uh oh!" Goofy shouted as the heartless and nobodies turned on them.

"V-HEADBUTT!" Veemon shouted jumping into the air and he headbutted a Nobody before Stich jumped off Daisuke's shoulder and he went made and attacked the Heartless in front of him laughing madly. The others watched dumbfounded as Stich singlehandedly defeated the heartless and nobodies. He then smiled and walked back to Daisuke who smiled at him and she scooped him up.

"That's a good boy," she praised him and Stich grinned before he smirked at Veemon who was being held back by Goofy and Donald.

"Where's Maleficent?" everyone turned to see the three fairies from earlier fly towards them.

"She ran off," Sora said.

"That was pretty lame of her," the fairy with blonde hair and fiery orange wings said.

"I told you we picked the wrong side," the fairy in black told the other two before the three fairies started to talk.

"Hey, if you're looking to pick sides, why don't you pick Leon's? They can always use help," Sora said and the fairy with the blonde hair flew towards him and she started rubbing against his cheek.

"Well cutie pie, if that's what you want me to do, I will gladly do it," she told Sora kissing him on the nose and Daisuke's face went bright red in anger.

"Get away from him!" she screamed trying to swat the fairy away who flew back and Daisuke's hand hit Sora by accident below the belt and he gasped and fell to his knees.

"Why me?" he whimpered.

"Later taters," the orange fairy said before she and the other two fairies vanished.

"That harlot! What does she think she is doing getting close to my man! If I ever see her again I will tear her wings out!" Daisuke roared angrily as Sora stood up slowly and he grabbed Daisuke and kissed her cheek.

"You're the only woman for me Dai, don't ever think otherwise," he told her and Daisuke smiled at him.

"Come on, we need to go," Veemon said and the others nodded before they ran off and up a flight of stairs where someone appeared in front of them, this man had long grey hair a large black wing on his right side and he wore a black robe.

"Sora! It's Sephiroth," Donald quacked.

"Isn't he the darkness of Cloud's heart?" Goofy asked.

"Did Cloud tell you that?" Sephiroth asked him. "Then he must understand now,"

"What're you going to do to him?" Sora asked.

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

"He said he's got a score to settle with you," Daisuke told him.

"I see," Sephiroth said. "He wants to meet me again." he said before walking off. "Then I should give him what he wants. That last bit of light is always the hardest to snuff out," he then flew into the before vanishing.

"Well…that was weird," Veemon said.

"We should tell Cloud, but the others need our help first," Donald quacked. The others ran off down the stairs to see Leon fighting with Aerith behind him.

"We will help!" Sora said smashing a Nobody.

"Sora behind you!" Aerith warned him and Sora and the others turned to see three Nobodies behind them that jumped at them but Veemon headbutted one and Goofy smacked one with his shield and Daisuke kicked another one.

"The king's in the Bailey, you better get over there!" Leon told them.

"Got it!" Sora shouted and everyone ran to the bailey and when they came to a cliff they saw thousands of heartless marching towards the town.

"Whoa," Daisuke said.

"What do we do?" Goofy asked as they saw Yuffie fighting with Aerith. Some heartless attached then but Stich pulled out two blasters and he fired them at the heartless and destroyed them.

"Ca you handle this many?" Leon asked Cloud as they stood back to back surrounded by heartless.

"Well….if one more shows up," Cloud answered.

"Than that will be the one I take care of," Leon said.

"You're fighting too?" Cloud asked and Leon chuckled before they both jumped at the heartless and Cloud destroyed some before the others vanished and Sephiroth landed in front of him. "Sephiroth!" he shouted.

"I understand that you've been looking for me," Sephiroth said to Cloud holding a large sword up.

"Yeah. Once I get rid of you, the darkness will go away," Cloud replied.

"Can you do it? That darkness comes from your own dark memories. Do you think you can erase your past?" Sephiroth asked him.

"Shut up!" Cloud told him.

"Face it, you turn your back on the present and live in the past. Because the light of the present is too much," he responded.

"You don't know me!" Cloud told him.

"Cloud!" a woman shouted.

"I know, because I am you," Sephiroth told him before leaving and Cloud chased him.

"Cloud wait!" the woman in black shouted as heartless surrounded her and she punched and kicked them all.

"Leon, everybody. Hang in there!" Sora shouted as he and the rest of the gang ran towards the bailey.
