Alright, now we're heating things up. With new enemies almost on every concern, some familar baddies will appear. Bluto, Pete and gang will take more active role thanks to them started to gather together. And the Mercenaries will make more active moves against the Protagonist, reaching this arc's climaxs pretty soon. This time things are going to get really dicy as more then one side will take active roles for different goals and desires for themselves. I knew what I was getting into when making this story, which is why I don't expect many reviews at this point. But I do appreicate those who read this story and selected as your favorite/follower.
As for what to expect, well express your imagination. Cause if you believe the story will function the same as series I used for crossovers. Half of that is right, other half is me being more creative. That and if they happen to have more Protagonist/Antagonist, know that both sides will be equally balance or favor one side. One of the key problems of story telling is always forcing the idea of heroes always winning, as much as we enjoy those moments, they don't really matter if everything they do is cheap. Which is why for those stilling reading, your very strong for enduring these types of tragic heroes and dark story telling. Just don't get carried away by watching many horror genre that gets... disturbing.
Also for any story that shows Dagger on certain worlds, prepare for pain and hardships that will come from his interactions. Being part of the main antagonist groups will have dark times ahead. This is to balance out the good and bad that will happen, some of you wanted this kind of story telling. Just know if your favorite series is involve with Dagger around, don't expect good endings. He along with others will make things worse for personal gain, or ridiculous reasons.
P.S. If any of you are curious about how wide these crossovers will be, that depends on the locations/universe/series. If there is anything with complicated story or elements added, don't expect them anytime soon. Even series with unfinished stories such as RWBY, My Hero Academia or others with unfinished plots, I won't do them unless certain scenarios allows those series to be visited. Of course that would go against some stories with more creative minds in play. So if your not bothered by that, I will do them at any given moment.

Bible Topics:
Subject: Everlasting Life
This I can say who's Christian life is for Heaven will have everlasting life. Now getting there is one thing, obeying God's command is another. This is because having everlasting life is to focus on what God commands us in our daily lives. This being we have to focus on what God wants not what we desire. Since we live in world of Sin, our lives are constant struggle by sin. We have harder time aiming for Heaven, and yes Christian have this much trouble as everyone else. When you reach a certain point that you say no to every temptation towards sin, then you will be targeted by Satan and his demons.
To live everlasting Life, God is necessary. Accepting Jesus came to Earth, died for your sins, and rose again is one you must start to understand. Fearing God is also same step to greater wisdom from God. In Jesus times from Mathew, Mark, and Luke when Jesus spoke I am the way, the truth and the life. He literally meant those words, but for those who are willing to follow him shall have everlasting life. Now if you want proof, I will say look up these scriptures in the bible, I still have long ways to read the bible and study the words. But that doesn't mean I won't share the good news.
Aiming for Heaven is not always going to be easy, this week and next we are told about the Coronavirus. And here we are staying indoors and keeping ourselves safe until it pass or find a cure. Now I won't say to disregard your health, but if God says I need you to go out and do something for me, know that commonsense never matters to God. He can do whatever he wants and yet shows great mercy and grace on our everyday sinful lives. God is the creator of all things, if we don't trust in him then we are helpless and will always fail in our lives. Without him we will fail every time, and what we are created for by God cannot be fulfilled.
We say everyday about ourselves and humanity we are great and mighty, complicated and strong, we say many things about ourselves. And you know what your doing now? Hiding, cowering, afraid of one virus that has you scared. Because you know deep down we're all weak, and nothing we can do will change that, when our lives end and die to face our judgement without God, you will have nothing except the treasures of this life that will be made as smoke. Cause God's treasure is something we don't always comprehend, only through God, faith and believe in Jesus can we be saved. God is an unchanging God, he never runs out nor has change since yesterday and many days from past, present and future. If you do what is command from God, follow the Holy Spirit, and put your trust in him, there is little to nothing more greater then God.
Prayer is one of the essentials to seeking God, reading the bible is the same. Without these two how can you know what your doing is for God and not for yourself? If you don't believe in everlasting life, then you won't believe what will be considered everlasting death.
Marceline(POV): Our last world came very quickly in and out without understanding what was happening. I can say I enjoyed the company with Snowman who was father figure and Bandit who be someone's fun loving uncle. For this world it brought back some childhood memories even if it's scary. One of them being about castles, princess, and dragons. Though this world had it's own charm, something not many can appreciate. Yet as we travel these worlds, the dangers started to increase. It was almost terrifying how easy we get caught up in many adventures yet still forget our lives can end just in one snap. One thing remained the same, our troubles of traveling many worlds never ceased to end. It was like when you feel this could be your home, you leave it behind for another world. I sometimes wonder if we'll be able to find Simon again, I worried if he's somewhere we can't find or Simon is...
Traveler's Journey
Arc 1: Join the Team
Chapter 7: Cartoons, Monsters, and Keys, Oh My
Dreamscape
In the dream, you can see fields of grass with birds flying and many animals actually getting along instead of fighting or killing for prey. Among the animals are the sheep all together in harmony. These sheep then fast focus on two sheep sitting together as elders of their herd lead by their shepherd. Until something happen resulting their shepherd leaving them, as the sheep went on their own. Soon the sheep of many or few turned to goats, these goats then went separated ways as animals of all kind started to react in most violent ways. Then the sheep and goats spread to stars above gathered by one field of grass on another separated from each other. On these fields of grass had certain wells. Each well glowed bright as blue skies above, then from nowhere these sheep are watch by one sheep well disguise as wolf searching for it's prey. This wolf then took interest of the well, slowly walking towards these well it started to pull something from the bottom. A glowing rock that purified the waters for cleanness, but in this rock as some mold in red like blood dried by some force. The wolf took interest and stole this rock, once this the well shook and break apart causing the fields to dry as deserts and many sheep killed by wolves or taken for their own use. The wolf then ran taking his prize with either sheep and goat scattered into the stars as many more fields of grass screamed in fear with violent winds of this treacherous act.

Delta Force Base - Medical Bay/couple days later
Suddenly awaken by this dream, Dagger stood up sweating but keep his mouth shut, but had widen eyes from the experience.
"What the heavens was that?!" Dagger asked himself, never had such experience before hand.
"Hey your awake." Blade said sitting next to him with huge grin on her face.
"What you smiling about?" Dagger question Blade.
"Nothing except your promotion to special forces." When she said that, Dagger's eyes widen in shock confused by this revelation.
"They saw you had what they are looking for called Devil Keys, that item had one of the many fragments you'll be searching for sometime. But that also means you been promoted to special forces and will be sent off to your very first mission. Congratulations little bro." She hug Dagger while giving a head nuggy on Dagger who tried to free himself, only to realize his strength is exhausted.
"You'll probably be here for a bit, but in the mean time you have to assign your team very soon. Your being deployed to Traverse Town, and they expect many things from you. I have to admit your better then I given credit, see ya later Diggs." Blade aid giving Dagger some nickname, then went off assign to her new mission on the field. Soon two people from the medical bay check on him, in honesty this room is not usually filled or has any patients to help. This is because there are soldiers/marines who die without anybody around or save them from injury. That along with their pride to always be stronger the others is what leads to death tolls from millions to trillion almost at one time. Dagger's dream is to gain his own special forces, what his team will be named he'll tell once he gathers two other people. The required team consist of 3 members to have special force teams, the high amount of members goes to 12 members. First he has some things he has to take care, one of them is about some prisoners as his gut feeling is telling him.

Atlanta - Pete and gang
Back with Pete, they finally manage to catch up thanks to word spreading about Bandit's destination. But now had to rest as they lost track of where the others are located. Daffy would complain about everyone's fault regardless of the situation as Porky Pig tried to show support. Tom the Cat just relax having nothing going on, Bing tried to get the Beedrills to listen, but realize they left wanting to part ways for the wilderness where they won't be found by anyone.
"Do you locate their signal?" Pete asked curious if long distance from another world will work with these trackers.
"Yep Just the way I can locate them. According to this Sizer has not only to track them, but is actually in one of their pockets. We'll be able to catch up once we find them, and have Blaster deal with these fools." Bluto said grinning.
"Well this would go much smoother if you had help us, I get we're the grunts in your gang, but you should help us as well. I mean you practically allowed them to escape, that's a low blow Bluto." While Pete has no say since he has made mistakes as well, Bluto has always the arrogance higher then most base on his strength. Always saying the grunts should do the small things instead of him trying to solve every problem for them.
"Not necessary, I want that wizard for myself. Which is why I don't plan on them being captured just yet, but I will bring the Mercenaries since they are still useful for my deal. Blaster may have the skills, but she underestimates my intelligence." Bluto explained which didn't make things better in Pete's eyes.
"Whatever, let's go." Pete said frowning at Bluto wanting to punch him just once, but knows the results. Once everyone gathered together, Pete created a portal that lead to another world where the others are located.

Wicked Witches Castle - Throne Room
The Wicked Witch of the West came back in fury. She had those Ruby slippers in her grasp, but couldn't get them because of some fairy and Dorothy unknown powers of falling houses from the sky. Around the castle is some unusual group that arrive sometime ago, orcs to be precise as they had came here by some powerful dark lord, apparently he's after something and gaining power from the shadows. Making deals with powerful magic users is ideal for this Dark Lord, since he's still in hiding and hasn't plan on making any strikes yet.
But with some help the Dark Lord will rise once more and bring destruction in his wake. But first he'll have to take care of some problems first, one of them already being taken care of if all goes as planned. The Wicked Witch has the orcs scattered around the land as her main enforcers, until she gains her ruby slippers she won't make any moves as of yet. When she arrived she express her frustrations, wanting to take those Ruby Slipper for herself, but knew how powerless she is against the fairy.
"Curses those goody-goody good witch of the North. If only I had came sooner I would have those Slippers to myself and have all the power needed to rule these lands. There must be some way to get them without her interference." Wicked Witch said to herself.
"Perhaps you need some assistance." Someone said as Z9 now appearing as some random creature similar to vampires. He had some cloak covering his body except the head with pale skin and blood red eyes with sharp fangs. He now calls himself, Vampire Charles Duke of the North.
"Who does enter my castle uninvited." She demanded Z9.
"No one in particular, just a comrade seeking the good witch of the North's destruction. I am Vampire Charles Duke of the North, here to assist in your conquest. I only ask in return is to give me small land for my future kingdom." Z9 said trying to sound genuine in his offer as he wanted this witch to serve his purpose.
"And why should I believe you?" The Wicked Witch is no fool, she has been trying to take over Land of Oz for sometime. Now she has her opportunity by gaining the Ruby Slippers.
"Simple, I have powerful monsters of my own." With one snap, Z9 summoned one creature through the window too small for it's size. This creature is known as Corrupted Quartzes monsters, all are Jasper gems turned into monsters. There are other types similar to Quartzes but with different forms and monstrous abilities. Z9 had the Jasper monster keep watch on locations Peter and company are located with some intel sources describing their locations. This allowed Z9 time to gather resources of thousands of corrupted Gems under his command. While he won't tell where he found them, he more so will say he's been searching around. What's his plans are unknown only his schemes involve causing war and violence for his own pleasures.
"What manner of creature is this thing?!" Wicked Witched shouted in alarm, since never has she seen this monsters before or heard of them, "Your one of those world travelers are you? That whole thing with you living in the North is all an hoax isn't it? Now tell me the truth or I will curse you with one of my powerful magic spells that cannot be undone." She warned, Z9 have to give some credit. This witch must have encounter some unknown people and place two-two together to discover his lie. Not many are willing to believer other planets exist filled with life. This witch is obviously one of those exceptions.
"Your clever I give you that, but not powerful if you believe your magic is strong against me." Z9 told the Witch, Z9's own bravery or arrogance continues to rise some question as to how much fighting has he done in his life or powers he fought against.
"Although I can say you will need my assistance, since my own enemies will join with this Dorothy right? She will eventually gather powerful allies, and she will be protected by people of these land and those outside of this world. So rather you like it or not, I can aid you in this endeavor." Z9 bluntly said to the Wicked Witch.
"Very well, but if you double-cross me. Don't think you and your powers will save you, I get what I always want, and nobody will stand in my way for greater power." She then laugh as her voice can be heard outside the castle walls in the dark woods.
Opening Sequence
A tornado appeared in black, gray and white.
Inside a small house floated higher and higher with someone inside.
Around the Tornado is some woman on her bicycle slowly turning into some witch on her broom laughing.
As the Tornado stop, the house fell changing into different colors with Emerald letters appearing.
Soon long fields of flowers and grass spread with golden brick road at the center, added with some city on the background.

New World - Fields of Corn
With mickey and Company, everyone groan and slowly crawled up. Unable to process what happen they soon realize they had been teleported to another world again without warning. As they took their surroundings they realize that Droopy is with them this time.
"Well that figures." Is all Droopy could say about his situation.
"I have to admit, didn't think we be teleported to another world so quickly." Mickey said annoyed by their sudden jump from world to another.
"Might as well get used to the idea, I bet only Gandalf knows what happening." Bugs replied having some ideas about these items.
"Hmm, I rather jump on top of Goombas into of world jumping without warning." Mario comment with Pac-man agreeing by nodding.
"Still at least we have another key." Peter said holding the object on hand, then place it in his pockets.
"Gosh I wonder where we traveled this time." Mickey said expressing everyone's thoughts. Down further away from them, Dorothy is following the yellow brick road with Toto beside her. As they traveled, the two came across some people sitting in the middle of the Brick road.
"Oh I hope they aren't trouble Toto, we already came this far, can't turn back." Dorothy said more to herself then anyone. Soon Mickey and Company spotted Dorothy walking towards them.
"Hello, are you friends or other kind?" Dorothy didn't what to asked since she's new to these lands.
"What kind of question is that?" Marcy couldn't help but commit.
"Sorry, you see I'm trying to get back home, but I have to see the wizard of OZ. The munchkins, told me to follow the yellow Brick Road." As Dorothy explained her situation, some heartless started to form. Some are called Powerwild, Bouncywild, Sniperwild, Wild Shaman, and Cheery Ape. Each trying to catch Dorothy driven by dark forces of this world. When Dorothy told the others how she wanted to keep Toto safe, but then is drag in her house from a twister, she somehow ended in this world. Mickey and others could guess that some worlds have been connect to another world, just never realize how much closer they are to these worlds. Just as Dorothy explained her situation, they saw heartless appearing behind her.
"Heartless!" Mickey shouted as everyone is familiar with fighting these things.

Preparing for battle
Ready
FIGHT!
"Dorothy get behind us." Mickey called out as he charge at the heartless with reckless bravery. Bugs with his mallet went swinging bashing some of the heartless in almost baseball or golfing fashion. Mario used some of his new techniques to fight off against the heartless with Pac-man using some his cherry bombs to disperse the creatures. Jerry rode on time of Drake as the two work together to bash the heartless around, Droopy didn't need to do much as he pulled out his cowboy pistol and shot them dead through their foreheads. Marcy and Peter work together as Bugs gave them some small batons for their size, swinging them like small wooden sticks or fake swords.
"I know I'm repeating myself when I ask, do these guys ever quit or give up?" Peter and Marcy have asked this before and had some mix answers.
"More so they just don't know how to give up. That and they couldn't resist the darkness they sense in these worlds." Mickey explained.
"Less talking more smashing." Mario shouted already handling the harder bunch of Powerwild heartless with certain ease. They tried to surround him only for them to be beaten with one punch or two from Mario's strikes. Although their much tougher to defeat as they are actually giving some struggle to their battles. The Powerwild have been giving Mario some trouble as their animalistic nature is more unique in their current forms then other times. You could even argued that these are what heartless behavior if they were natural beast. Mario would twist and turn with discipline stance twisting his body to fight these heartless.
The Sniperwild are being shot down by Droopy who is very accurate in his shots. Surprising enough he is able to make each shot leaving one on their foreheads as each sniperwild appears. Mickey and Bugs tried to approach the Wild shaman but keeps gaining reinforcements that gave them trouble. The two knew this one would be trouble if left alone too long so they had to finish it quickly. Sometimes they used some combo attacks to try and finish the heartless to reach their main target. Pac-man is dealing with the Bouncywild with some difficulty as these heartless are more interest in playing, running and shooting slingshots at him from one place to another. Drake and Jerry help him out since Drake is able to keep up and manage to destroy the monsters.
Out of everyone Peter and Marcy are only dealing with one heartless known as Cherry Ape. While this one shouldn't be fought alone some tend to forget that Peter is stronger then appear to superhuman strength. Though it comes and goes from now to later, Marcy had gotten used to the idea of fighting monsters. It was actually amazing seeing two children with different backgrounds, and stories driven from home to fighting for their survive as now average fighters.
"You know, I been thinking. How come these guys are disappearing like they normally would in our previous adventures?" Bugs asked.
"The heartless usually don't take this long to defeat these monsters, yet now they are more in numbers and more dangerous if fighting alone. I fear the other keyblade wielders are experiencing the same problems." Mickey said expressing his concerns. Everyone then formed up being used to these fights by now, even those who just joined the group.
Once everyone gathered together the heartless charge at them, everyone prepared for their attack when something or someone came in banishing the heartless in one strike or two. The battle went really quick without anyone realizing what happen. But some of them recognize his clothes and realize who appeared to help.
"That ought to teach you not to mess with a lady." He spoke knocking the heartless around one after another. Then to finish them off he punch them so hard that many flew in packs of 10. With them destroyed, he turned to face the group and smiled, "Did you guys miss me." He asked them.
"POPEYE!" Some shouted and ran to hug the sailor.
"The gang is almost together with new friends of course." Bugs said as Droopy comment, "Thank you Bugs."
Everyone that didn't run towards Popeye including Dorothy who is being polite. Walk towards the group curious about this reunion, "Can I guess that this is Popeye from your group." Marcy asked not wanting to interrupt their moment, but had to ask some questions.
"Yep, although with this many people I wouldn't be surprise if we encounter the others some point." Mickey said almost happy to see everyone together with new faces.
"I don't mean to interrupt this happy reunion, but what exactly are those awful creatures?" Dorothy wondered, some have explained what those monsters are and in turn explain to Popeye what Dorothy situation and why she is following the yellow brick road.
"Don't worry ma'am, we'll get you there safe and sound if you allow us." Popeye assured Dorothy who already feels safe around Popeye.
"Why of course I will, you kept me and Toto safe, I have no reason not to invite everyone with me. I have no idea what dangers are ahead, but if it means I can return home and see Aunt EM again. I have to face many dangers, though if I had help it would be appreciated.
"Don't worry, we're help you get to Emerald City and you will be home before saying, wishy washy." Marcy told Dorothy happy to know she will have company on this trip.
"I'm sure that be sometime before we reach Emerald city." Dorothy extend her arm as Popeye grab hold with his arm and the others did the same, when everyone is together in two or three rows, they sang.
"To OZ?"
"To OZ!"
We're off to see the wizard,
The wonderful wizard of OZ.
We hear he is a whiz of a Wiz,
If ever a Wiz there was.
If ever Oh ever a Wiz there was,
The Wonderful of OZ is one becoz, becoz, becoz, becoz, becoz, becoz,

Land of OZ - Four way Corn field paths
As they traveled, the group of 11 people have arrived at what is considered the hard part. For every adventure or journey towards a destinations even from past or future has to face the unanswered or hardest question in unfamiliar territory, direction. Mankind's worst enemy to ever hit our times since beginning of everything. When the group manage to reach this point, they are completely stump. Dorothy is told to follow the yellow brick road towards Emerald city. Unfortunately they never mention this four-way path leading to some asking, "Now what?" Which is an reasonable question.
"Are you sure they never mention which way Dorothy?" Peter asked trying to make sense of their suppose direction.
"That's what they said, though I think they forgot about this small section." Dorothy told everyone.
"I believe that, But which way should we follow?" Mario asked.
"Heads or tails?" Bugs suggested, everyone look towards Bugs at his idea, "Eh everyone is a critic."
"Of course you can go this way." Someone said, everyone look only to find one scarecrow by himself pointing one direction.
"Does anyone notice that scarecrow was there?" Marcy said creep out about the scarecrow's position.
"Don't be silly, it's just a scarecrow." Dorothy assure.
"Of course you can go towards that way." Someone said again, this time the scarecrow pointed towards another direction.
"Okay that was suspicious." Mickey said noticing the scarecrow's new position.
"Have anyone here ever encounter some living scarecrows from Kansas?" Peter asked Dorothy who replied, "Don't be silly, Scarecrows don't talk or move."
"But of course you guys can go both ways." The Scarecrow actually move with both arms pointing opposite directions. This had many shock or surprise at the scarecrow's action.
"Why you did say something didn't you?" Dorothy asked, the scarecrow shook his head yes and no. Before more can be question some portal opened up from one of the pathways. From the portal of darkness came Bluto, Pete, Daffy Duck, porky Pig, Tom the Cat, and Bing as the portal closed behind them.
"Well if it isn't my pal Popeye. So good for you to join us." Bluto grinned madly at Popeye.
"Bluto, I should have known you would be coming after us. It was you working for those Mercenaries." Popeye accused Bluto.
"That's right sailor, but since the plan has change since your group scattered, we want every one of you send to those guys for high price. Course you can tell us where Gandalf is we might let you off the hook." Pete said trying to make some deal.
"Fat chance Pete, we're not going to hand our friends over to anyone." Mickey declared with his keyblade pointed at Pete.
"Ah does that little pipsqueak feel so tough with that keyblade of yours. I hear many are turned to darkness these days, ain't no threat if your power is used for dark purposes." Pete said grinning at them. He's not wrong in saying about Keyblade Wielders, there has been battles on certain worlds involving Guardian-Seeker War raging on. While it's not officially a keyblade war that would cause all worlds to destruction, this Guardian-Seeker War is more so secretive since the world order has to be protected. The Seekers usually have heartless break the world order as the Seekers want their involvement less known, but still follow with their plans of conquest.
Sometimes Mickey worries when it comes to Keyblade Wielders getting involve by this conflict. Many have cross towards different side for reasons one of another. But the conflict has you wonder who's side your really on. Before Mickey thought about the keyblade, Popeye went charging at Bluto as the two charge and slammed fisted against each other, forcing themselves back by small shockwave from colliding fists.
"I see your strong as ever Popeye." Bluto comment, Popeye stood tall as he brought his right arm out, "Bring it."
Bluto vs Popeye
Round 1
Fight!
The two charge once more as Bluto swung his fist at Popeye with all his might, Popeye did the same as their fist slammed into each other's face, would have knock some teeth out from impact. After punching each other few times everyone took cover as they felt the wind blow back against them. Bluto and Popeye kept on going punching each other's fists, chest and head as they fought. Bluto had enough and grab popeye by the throat and toss him towards one cornfield making him plow the corn and some reason turned into some food stand selling corn for 50 cents.
Popeye got up seeing Bluto charging at him like some elephant stampede. Popeye had to think fast picking up some dirt and throwing at Bluto making him blind, then tripped on his foot rolling in some ball as Popeye punch him all the way up, and down crashing at the center of the yellow brick roads. Everyone stood back far away from their fight, some knowing this will end with many destroyed property. As Bluto got back up shaking his daze off, he growled in anger then smash the ground lifting some ground underneath like some bolder. Then throw at Popeye, seeing this Popeye brought his arm back then punched with all his might against this bolder. This is what Bluto wanted and charge head first towards Popeye ready to punch him back, but Popeye knew this and actually allow Bluto to throw his punch only to miss by inches as Popeye grab his arm and toss him overhead.
Charging once more Popeye throw some punches at Bluto's chin, chest and even one towards his eye making Bluto see red, white and blue rings with stars appearing. Having enough Bluto punch Popeye back, forcing him sliding on the ground one more with another food stand for corn this time 2 dollars pre corn. Once back on the yellow brick road, Popeye saw Bluto is charging at him with some rock bigger then his arm. Seeing this Popeye pick one brick and threw towards the rock smashing it to pieces. Not stopping Bluto charge once more only for Popeye to bring his strongest punch knocking Bluto way up high and flew towards who knows where. From afar you can hear him shouting the famous goofy holler until he crash landing with rumbling sounds from afar with one word from Bluto, "Ouch" in some groan.
Pete, Tom the Cat, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig had their jaws drop touching the ground, and then recovered enough for Pete to say, "You know what, perhaps we should get some help for this." Pete said opening another portal for them to retreat before the others knew they left.
"Boy what powerful lungs they have." The Scarecrow comment, making some stare at him.
"Don't you see they are punching each others block off?" Bugs asked.
"I wouldn't know, I'm only made of straw, no brain." The Scarecrow sadly said.
"Oh, sorry didn't know." Bugs apologized.
"Wow, this is some dangerous world I have ever seen. But you were magnificent Popeye." Dorothy complimented.
"Ah shucks, it was nothing. That wind bag needed to cool some steams." Popeye said chucking to himself.
"So where are you folks headed to anyways." The Scarecrow asked.
"We're off to see the wizard of OZ. I need his help to bring me back home." Dorothy said to the Scarecrow.
"You think he can give someone like me a brain?" The Scarecrow wondered.
"It might be possible. We're going to see the Wizard since Dorothy needs some help along the way." Peter said with everyone agreeing to his statement.
"Then do you mind if I tag along." No one oppose the idea as the Scarecrow jump for joy.
"Gosh, I never had this many friends before, it just seemed like a dream." Dorothy cheerfully said.
"Don't worry, it's not a dream." Droopy told Dorothy.
"Then shall we be off." Everyone agree and held arm to arm singing the same song as they had before. With many adventure ahead, they will take some time before arriving their destination.

"This is just great, I might as well wait for the others to arrive, since I somehow am flung towards here. Pete maybe cowardly at times, but loyal to those he works regardless of their abuse is almost admirable if it wasn't tragic." Grumbling to himself, Bluto brush off some dust and dirt he had on his body. By incredible luck Bluto has himself a house to live in, an old one that hasn't been used for sometime. Before Bluto could investigate some portal of light glowed behind him, taking cover using the large trees. Seven individuals with different color armor with different shapes and sizes walk out. Once they gathered with the portal closing behind, their appearance may have seemed human.
Now without their armor they show their true forms, one having black tight suit with gold trims around his arms with no sleeves yet has long pants reaching above his feet. The individual is actually a blue dragon having claws on his hands and feet, his tail has few spikes at the end and two sets of wings fold on his back. An small snout with sharp teeth covered under his mouth, slit purple eyes. His name is Flame, sent on his journey to find himself since he has some troubles as young keyblade wielder. What's actually surprising is his ability to stand on two legs, while not uncommon it's always been walking on all fours. Though that might change when he gets older, he's still a young rookie working his way through life. The keyblade Flame wields is called Eternal Flame, symbolizing his strong ties towards fire. His keyblade as some circle like flame spikes on the end, and the handle as three spike flames almost like some pitch fork end in flame designs.
The second companion is from a species called Kineceleran, a very fast race always on the rush. However thanks to some training by the keyblade masters, she has actually learn self-control but in ways that doesn't always put her on rush. She has blue skin like many others almost a dinosaur like appearance for some idea, but had some orbs on her feet since young age, her three fingers are more like claws along with her blue-black tail and helmet on her head. Her name is Krista, once living on her planet with her kind only to be separated by heartless that attack their home. When gaining the powers of the keyblade, she went to defend her home but couldn't save everyone. Now well trained, she has learn to think and plan her attacks, but still has problems because of her species causing some jittery movements on her legs. Krista wears short sleeveless shirt showing some belly, and long pants. Her keyblade is known as Triber, an digital like keyblade able to change form by use of computer data install on her kyeblade. It's appearance has five teeth on it's end, small green neon lines around the keyblade, the handle has one guard underneath the hand. It's colored gray by daytime and glows blue with green neon lines on it.
Next companion species are known as Sangheili, once among their kind had lost themselves after the Sangheili were exploring unknown space. Many have died, leaving only 200 remain, the kyeblade wielders found them and offered protection for many years. Some have chosen to be keyblade wielders, while others remain with their new home. Sangehili are known for their tradition as honorable warriors, most times when keyblade chosen wielders are males. The Sangheili gladly accepted the honor, however it was also tradition for females to stay behind and watch their young. But as time went by many chosen wielders have gone accustom to these new changes. The sangheili calling herself Val Reth, wears some armor around her body, the keyblade armor actually enhances and gives more protection for her well-being. Val Reth has gray skin and orange eyes, her keyblade is called Valkyrie with three wings as teeth both sides, a flat-straight rod from the teeth to handle, and the handle appear similar to their Energy Sword only Sangheili can wield.
Beside her another companion from different species known as Turian called Erie Los, same heavily armored alongside Val Reth but some differences. Erie kind has once had discovered some hidden artifact long lost from time. When activated, some Turians got drag to another world leading to near seeker's base of operations. Some Turains turned to darkness trying to fight back, with some guardians able to assist in time to save few. Now under the guardians protection, the Turian proved themselves as capable warriors taking on mission with the Sangheili in their endeavors. Erie has white stripes, gray and bluish Turian armor, Erie also carries the keyblade called Knight Code. This keyblade is shape more like some sword with two sides of three teeth, and the handle covering the wielder's hand when grabbed.
Fifth companion species called Irken, calling himself Ziggy. Once former seeker turned good after shown what being friends really means and some change to his personality. Seekers have form some alliance with Irkens and others in the past, but only few ever change their ways. Ziggy once considered himself a proud invader with arrogance same as other Irken. But when abandon, Ziggy realize the wrongs of his ways, and has made... some friends in progress if he wasn't always big headed. Ziggy is probably the shortest of the bunch, yet as former seeker he has proven his height is usually been his way to victory as many underestimate his abilities. His keyblade still tied to the darkness is called Invasion, which is actually one of many keyblades own by Irkens. Since their DNA has been used the same for generations the keyblade had remain the same almost split into fragments among Irken kind. The only difference to this keyblade is how much experience they have in combat, Ziggy's keyblade has good some of level 26 experience.
Sixth companion behind Flame are known as Minotaur, her name Sherry Wong. Among the proud warriors, she is the exception of being strongest female minotaur of her kind. Very rare since they are similar to Cattle, females would be rarely strong if not natural then trained. Sherry is one of the rare breeds since she's not only naturally gifted, but has trained all her life. As young calf she obtain her keyblade almost immediately before speaking words. Seeing this unusual case and her natural fighting talents, the Minotaur's had to rely on their Keyblade allies to properly train her till she learn to control her strength. Sherry wears rag clothes being the biggest among them with clothing almost impossible to find her size. Small horns standing on her hind legs, her keyblade is called Axe Hammer namely for being double sided axe and still considered a keyblade like sword. The Keyblade is mostly wood except for the handle which is silver and round.
Final companion from another species called Orc name Grimm Hal Resim, once part of an proud race of orcs from the planet Draenor. Some orcs had discovered some portal that leads to many worlds, eventually they found keyblade wielders calling themselves guardians who try and protect the world order. Many have fought against them and the wielders became victorious. With their respected strength some orcs joined them in their respect the their adversary. Agreeing the orcs reformed a new tribe in alliance with the guardians against the seekers. Grimm is an young 18 year old man who finished his training leading this group of 7 guardians, second to him is flame. Grimm wears his traditional armor, with enhancements from the keyblade armor making it stronger then before. He has brown skin with reddish and black hair, green color eyes and his keyblade called Borg. Borg in particular is more skeleton with the handle an skull shape without a jaw and grab by two eye sockets, the teeth is sharp as dinosaur bones along with everything appearing as bones.
"Well this is interesting, landed us in the middle of nowhere Flames." Grimm sarcastically said.
"It's not my fault, we had to make some detours to avoid the One Force." Flame argued.
"True, our agreement is to have temporary truce in their presence or turf. I just hate seeing those seekers the same room as us." Grimm muttered half of his words.
"Regardless of our feelings, the One Force are not people we should be facing. They have many followers and many that use the powers of the force in ways us wielders could not understand. I hear stories some guardians and seekers died by force choke even if they had strong hearts." Erie said shuttering at the thought of the Sith's method without mercy.
"I'm actually amazed they didn't try to fight us when we're spotted. There's some incidents of small brawls between keyblade wielders and force warriors attacking one another." Val stated as some rumors or small battles fought.
"In any case, we need to take some rest before heading out. The 13 Seekers have been getting some head starts, recruiting people from different worlds to the organization. This unit of 13 Seekers is lead by some Tetramand who's name we haven't identified except as some mysterious black robe figure. We have found out he/she has made allies from species like humans, elves and race calling themselves The Hive." Grimm reported to his friends. The conflict between the Seekers and Guardians have always been in secret or at best least amount of people knowing of this conflict. Many times they have been expose only because of their escalation in their conflict. Many times this has involved resides of the world to take part to defend against darkness. But this has left both sides with losses almost too unbearable to count. The other three are taking some breaths to look around their surroundings. Sherry is checking the forest eating what is edible, Ziggy is scanning some tree and other forms of life, Krista ran around to calm herself as she couldn't hold in her excitement.
Val gave some deep sigh at Grimm's intel from the Seekers, "There goes my vacation." She muttered.
"You miss your boyfriend?" Flame asked.
"Betrothed actually, he had to work hard since it's not always common for two different species to be together. I know some sangheili over the years have mated with Turians, but human would be first. And I do love Mark and he loves me. We hope this would work out, but it will be sometime before we're officially married." Val said to flame, which isn't too uncommon now since some species are left away from their kind. Sangheili and Turians working with the guardians have been showed affection regardless of their differences. It almost became tradition of honor to marry species of warrior heritage, Very few and rare as they ever married to one species that isn't warrior heritage in their family.
"I know the feeling, dragons have hard time being together since it's almost tragic our kind always goes separate ways. We sometime actually find mates in other species, for me Sherry is someone I would spend my life with, though Dragon years tends to last longer then most believe. It usually takes hundreds of years for Dragons to find love in each other, depending on what type of course." Truth be told, there are more then one versions of Dragons, Minotaur's, elves and other mythical creatures then aliens. Which is ironic considering you travel to one planet and find no similar relationship with others.
"We should get going, we stayed to long the Seekers might escape." Val remind Flame agreeing at her logic.
"The Seekers should be somewhere about 3 planets away in space travel, if we're lucky we may out maneuver them before they reach their destination or fulfill their plans." Grimm said the ordered everyone to gather around.
"Alright, activate your armors we're going hot and ramming speed." Grimm ordered as they activate their keyblade armor, Flame created a portal of light and walk through as they left nothing behind. Once gone Bluto stood away from the tree seeing everything is clear.
"Hmm, the war between guardians and seekers must be pretty bad if they send their small units of 7 Guardians and 13 Seekers for battles. I might have to see what the Seekers are up too, with Pete's help I could make some deals with them. Who knows, I might actually obtain a keyblade of darkness for myself." Bluto grinned thinking of how he finally beat Popeye and start his own crime syndicate.

Entrance to Forest - Bugs and Company
About 2 hours in their walk and they manage to find themselves walking towards some very tall trees. So far this world has many normal features you would find on any parts of Earth, yet still has this sense of different feel.
"This actually feels familiar somehow." Marcy comment to her surroundings, almost like her home world. Drake walk beside her with Jerry sitting on top, the two have become close friends since nobody would understand what Drake is saying, yet Jerry being similar has the two talking in their own language.
"You get that feeling every now and then Marcy, sometimes these worlds are so similar it makes you wonder why we're separated from each other easy." Bugs told Marcy explaining some form of world traveling.
"Say just out of curiosity why are we seeing the wizard of OZ?" Peter asked with Mario and Pac-man agreeing.
"Most likely with these keys, we would have to find some important figures to help us. That or get incredibly lucky at the right place at the right time, that or we need some help. I hope to finish this and find Minnie and others, who knows what Bluto and his pals are up too. Pete I know wouldn't stoop to low, Bluto however I just don't trust him." Mickey said with some hostility in his voice, Bluto has become more of an thug then just bully over their encounters. It sometime Terrifies Mickey of what Bluto might attempt on Minnie and others.
"Don't worry Micks, when I'm through with Bluto he and I are going to terms that benefits everyone. Though I wish he would talk to me for once instead of picking fights, we're not living our old days anymore, someone could actually be hurt or worse." Popeye assured Mickey then everyone heard screaming towards the apple trees, apparently Dorothy accidently mess with the wrong tree, specifically one's that are alive. The Scarecrow made some insult comments that results the tree throwing apples at them.
"Looks like they found themselves some food." Mario comment smiling at the two's antics. That stop once creatures started to appear, specifically Primids that came in numbers, from regulars to sword types, scope types and Big types. Almost everyone tense at seeing these guys, truth be told many that have encounter them realize it takes almost everyone to destroy them.
"Oh no." Mickey whispered to himself.
"Everyone that can't fight find cover, we're handle these palookas." Popeye shouted, he charge first at the frontlines.

FIGHT!
When Popeye made contact with the first enemy, it instantly was destroyed. Mario and Pac-man work together as they punch and kick two Primids together beating the crap out of them. Mickey and Bugs teamed up blocking many swords and bashing them back with deflecting snipe attacks from scope Primids. Droopy fired at the Scope Primids with some success only to find them too tough to take out being more stronger then heartless types.
"You know what, this calls for heavy artillery." Droopy reach from his hidden pockets and pulled out some packs of bullets known as AMCE Heavy hitters. When Droopy loaded six bullets out of 30 from the pack. Droopy aimed his first shot and unleashed an unexpected bullet, flying close towards it's target it stop mid-air then confusing the scope Primid. Then from nowhere the bullet pulled out it's axe from invisible pockets and struck the Scope Primids down, then shouted like some Indian before sprint off to finish the second Pirmid. Droopy fired another shot where this time it bounce from one Scope to another until all 13 are dead with one tree in neon showed Tilt.
Dorothy, Toto, The Scarecrow, Peter, Marcy, Drake and Jerry have actually moved away from the battle trying to find cover. But then Dorothy stumble upon some humanoid figure that appeared all metal.
"Why, that's a Tin Man." Dorothy whispered in surprise.
"A human Tin Man is more like it." Scarecrow added, then everyone heard some noise that came from the Tin Man.
"What's it saying?" Marcy couldn't make out the words, The Scarecrow lean his head towards the mouth hearing the mumbles.
"He wants oil." Everyone look for some oil for the Tin Man, all without notice two Primids carrying swords slowly sneaking behind them.
Peter turn to find the Primids are getting ready to attack, "LOOK OUT!" he shouted, everyone turn except for The Scarecrow, frighten by the Primid.
"Oh no!" Dorothy tried to hold Toto in her arms, only for him to jump off and bark at the Primids.
"Toto no!" One Primids look at Toto and slowly march preparing it's sword attack, but from nowhere an metal axe slash at the Primid blocking the surprise attack. The tin Man pick up his axe looking at the Primids with some anger.
"Why don't you two pick on someone your own size." The Primids accepted his challenge and charge at the Tin Man, one tried to strike only to be block by the Tin Man's axe. The Scarecrow used one apple to distract the other Primid getting it's attention. Seeing the Scarecrow as some threat, it tried to attack only to trip on some thin string made by Jerry and Drake without notice. The Scarecrow pick up the Primids sword with some struggle then swung down before it got up. The Tin Man had some difficulty, but has finally finish the Primid using one opening to cut around the chest area.
"Well that was refreshing." The Tin Man said.
"Thanks." Peter's only reply to Tin Man's display of strength. With the others they had work on taking on the Primids, Popeye eventually manage to work his way towards the Big Primids, he manage to punch them down hard enough for only couple of hits. Mickey and Bugs work up a sweat at these enemies, almost exhausted by how strong individually by themselves or together.
"Hey Mick, play ball." Bugs said, Mickey then charge at the on going Primids who are trying to punch, kick or cut Mickey apart. With enough distraction, Bugs spin his body around hard enough for their team attack, once ready Mickey leap back and wrap himself like some ball as Bugs spin his body fast enough to slam Mickey hard enough like some baseball game. This cause Mickey's body to not only plow through Primids, but cause some wind effect forcing the Primids back slamming into some trees.
Mario and Pac-man aren't having too much struggling surprisingly. In fact their basic attacks were enough to fight against the Primids, once they were finish the two look around to see if more are seen. But found nearly all of them are gone with only 6 remaining, after they are defeated everyone gathered together
"Man those guys are hard to beat. How are you two able to defeat them?" Bugs asked Mario and Pac-man.
"Wouldn't be first time, we have encounter them for sometime." Mario explained.
"Sorry to interrupt, but mind if I asked what's your names?" The Tin Man politely asked.
"Oh sorry about all that, just a lot of many things happening at once." Mickey politely said.
"It's alright, I'm glad everyone is okay. I would have an heart attack if I had one." The Tin Man's statement gave off confusing looks from the others.
"What do you mean, you can't be alive if you have no heart?" Peter asked.
"Hit my chest, and listen." Doing as he asked, they listen to hear some echoes without end.
"Wow, what a heartbeat!" The Scarecrow said joyfully.
"It's empty, the people forget to build me a heart." The Tin Man clarified, they grew sad for the Tin Man as he gave some sigh to his plight.
"Would you like to go with us to Emerald City, so that Wizard of OZ can grant you a heart." Dorothy offered.
"You think he would help?" The Tin Man didn't want to get his hopes up since it was long shot into the dark.
"Of course he will, we come so far he had to help us." Dorothy spoke with positively that everyone hearing smiled for her and other companions for this world, suddenly shrieks of laughter made everyone look at the roof top where the Wicked Witch of the West appeared.
"You call that long, my dear your journey has just begun. I don't know who you people are, but if you stand in my way I will fix you all and it will be very painful experience." The Witch warned the group.
"Oh way, and what are you going to do about it?" Popeye demand, he got his reply as the Witch threw some fireball not normal by King Mickey's spell. When it came close Popeye punch the fireball with some burned skin on his knuckles.
"Hmm, your much stronger as he said about you lot." When mention someone talking about Popeye, it brought some raised eyebrows.
"Oh I know all of you, Popeye the foolish bonehead, Mickey Mouse the grunt of food chains, Bugs Bunny most delicious ingredient for Rabbit stew, Droopy Dog very lazy and pitiful, Jerry Mouse invisible to all, Drake my next fur coat, Pac-man gluttonous for punishment, Mario my new servant for clearing messes, then there are little sweet Marcy, and your tiny precious Peter." The Witch said in mockery.
"You think your special, because of your gifts. When I'm finish none of you will survive my most devious plans, and to you two who are so friendly with my pretty. I will stuff up your mattress with you, and you I'll use for a bee hive. Since we're getting acquainted how about a demonstration." The Wicked Witch then used one of her more powerful spells to attack.

Prepare for Battle

FIGHT!
Without any way to defend, the gang is pushed by some powerful winds. Eventually this lifted everyone as some screamed in fear while others tried to hold themselves together. Once high enough, The Wicked Witch flew on her broom, chasing them with wicked laughter.
Everyone had to hold on to whatever they could grab. Dorothy held on to Toto as both The Scarecrow and Tin Man held on to Dorothy for dear life. Peter, Marcy and Drake held together since this was not often you get drag into some tornado without being killed. Mickey, Bugs, Popeye, Mario, Pac-Man and Droopy are scattered trying to get towards one another.
"Bugs, Popeye, Marcy, anyone!" Mickey shouted for anyone to hear, but none replied. He only heard the laughter of the Witch that soon showed herself in front of Mickey.
"What now Keyblade Wielder, can you protect yourself in these circumstance." She then brought her wand out, and pointed toward Mickey who deflected the invisible attack from reaching him. Mickey is now force into defense as the Witch kept on using different spells invisible or seen. Her more seen attack involving some lightning spells that would have friend Mickey if his keyblade wasn't magical. The Witch cast her more stronger spell using some of her magical energy in green, after storing enough she blasted Mickey with enough force to knock him almost at the center.
Flying toward the Witch are Popeye and Mario, who saw Mickey nearly get killed(or hurt). With one glance Mario and Popeye gave each other nod understanding their plan of action. Popeye grab Mario and threw him with all his might. Flying towards the Witch, Mario soon grab the witch and planned on knocking her out. Almost losing control on her broom, Mario held on knowing this would be enough for Popeye to swoop in and bring her the KO punch. With quick thinking, the witch used her nails on her hand to scratch or hurt Mario enough to release her. Before Mario could recover, the Witch used her wand to grab Mario and threw him towards Popeye. Unable to dodge both slammed into each other and carried in the wind.
Droopy calmly observed and loaded his special bullets. With one shot he fired at the Witch, bullet 1 then charge with all it's might to reach it's target. The Witch realize this was no average attack and zap the bullet making it dazed before flown away. Droopy fire again this time two bullets 2 and 3, as they charge this time had one spear and axe in hand, surprising for bullets to have hands. Seeing this The Witch flew away in time as the bullet charge like heat seeking missiles. The Witch then used her lightning spell to zap the two bullets once more. Droopy decide to reload his gun then shoot all six bullets, this time the bullets flew together in some airplane form. The Witch had enough and used her broom to create black smoke, this cause some confusion with the black smoke spreading around the Tornado. Droopy couldn't see but had to be on guard in case something happen.
On the other side, Bugs tried to balance himself. When he spotted Mickey, he grab him in time to see his friend hurt. With serious determination, Bugs held his hammer tightly, bringing his arm back enough then swing with all his might. The hammer spin fast enough that it keep twirling faster and faster with the Tornado. With Droopy he tried to see where the Witch had hidden or flew towards. Suddenly an unseen force pulled him towards the Witch from behind, in seconds he felt his neck grab by the Witch who grinned as she laughed.
"Poor little doggy, are you lost. Well I will fix that and the rest of your so called friends." She laugh ready to strike with her other hand, but then Bug's hammer smashed into the Witch's broom. Forcing her to let go as she had to use as much power to kept herself afloat. The Tornado started to lose it's power forcing everyone to hold on as they feel towards the ground. The Witch flew some distance away to see them falling, but knew they wouldn't be killed so easily.
"That was a small demonstration of my power, next time I will destroy you all!" The Witch laugh and flew towards her castle knowing she had to fix her broom if she confronted them again.
As everyone is falling towards the ground, Mickey and others had to grab hold of their friends who wouldn't survive the impact. Mickey grab on to The Scarecrow as he was light, using his aero spell Mickey slowly descend as they manage to touch ground without trouble. Bugs used some life raft to put The Tin Man, Dorothy and Toto underneath them. Surprisingly they manage to survive even with how heavy the Tin Man is compared to others. Popeye held on to Peter, Marcy, Drake, and Jerry who had to hold tightly with them dropping quicker then before. Popeye has once more proven how strong he is by simply taking the blunt force of the ground impact, in fact the amount of endurance without going splat like many people is almost unnerving. Mario, Pac-Man and Droopy flew towards each other, as Droopy shot the ground letting three bullets flying to complete stop few inches from the ground and used some sheets to catch all three before hitting the ground.
Now that everyone is okay, they too some deep breath to regroup and organize their thoughts once more.
"Boy, when they say witches are like hurricanes, they literally meant it." The Scarecrow comment making everyone look at him weird.
"Wrong Metaphor." Everyone told The Scarecrow.
"This is too much, maybe I should give the Ruby Slipper back. I don't think I can go on if we're always facing those monsters and witches on our journey." Dorothy confess her feelings towards this situation. Everyone has some idea what was going through her head, some knew that this would have been too much to begin with, others sympathize with her since she is dealing with all this mess without any way out. They would have said something if the Scarecrow and Tin Man hadn't spoken with surprise encouragement.
"Don't say that Dorothy, I may not have known everyone here. But I can say if you let that mean witch tell you want to do, then you'll never get towards the Wizard." The Tin Man told Dorothy.
"He's right, she may have all that power on her hands, but she doesn't have your heart and courage. Why you were by yourself before meeting all of us, but that didn't stop you right?" Dorothy nod to answer his question.
"Then what's stopping you now? We may not be strong or powerful as everyone else here, but I will help you get to the wizard even if it kills me, stuff a mattress she says." The Scarecrow wasn't the only one feeling this way.
"I'll help you get towards the wizard as well. Bee hive, let her try to make a bee hive out of me." The Tin Man said with determination.
"There not the only one, we'll help you along the way. That Witch may think she has beaten us, but we'll show her how we do things." Mickey said as everyone else agreed.
"Thank you, all of you. If I didn't have friends to help, I don't know what I would have happen." Dorothy thank everyone for their support, "Still I know most of you are new faces, and yet I have this feeling I known both of you my whole life."
"Hmm, been first time we met." The Scarecrow answer.
"Same here, but that doesn't change our new friendship." Said the Tin Man.
"Alright then, let's be off." Popeye suggested, soon everyone went along singing the same song since they will be venturing towards Emerald City. Little did they know, the forest maybe their last or hardest challenge they will face.

Forest - 4 Days later
The traveling companions have been through these woods for 4 days, by now they should have exited or at least found some daylight. But the fact they still found no sight of daytime showed how much darkness covered this forest. And to make matters worst, their minds began to play tricks on them.
But along the way, the gang started to know about each other and begun have growing friendship towards each other. Bugs skill living in the forest came in handy as their were many noise from wild beast and creatures they would never had encountered before. Every now and then the Heartless and Primids would appear with many familiar enemy types along their journey. But as they tried to reach their end, the forest began to consume them with certain fears. Many who have fought for sometime had never experience this feeling so strong before. It actually is nerve wrecking how just walking in some forest for so long can mess with your senses.
The ones who have it worse are not Dorothy, The Scarecrow, Toto or the Tin Man. It was actually the group of fighters, rather they hid their feelings of fear and anxiety or express them is up to debate. Yet as they travel even the cool and collect fighters could feel themselves shake. Not even Bugs own sense of humor or anyone with joking fun personality could find any cheer for their situation. Even the small appearance of Heartless or Primids have started to scare them a bit, something about the forest they are traveling is drawing such dark energy it almost felt haunted. Even worse, there are chances that they are being watch by monster of reality then fantasy, bringing more fears from real world then fiction.
"Gosh... I never thought I be this scared." Mickey confess to his friends, with one keyblade at hand with his arms shaking every now and then.
"If we're being honest... I'm also scared." Bugs eyes have been twitching as he forced himself to stay awake almost all day and night.
"That's actually good, cause I didn't want to feel I'm the only one scared." The Scarecrow said with his friends.
"Mamma Mia, this forest is actually more terrifying then those haunted houses on my world." Mario walk almost replicating Luigi's shaking if he wasn't wearing red and blue clothes.
"You... think there are monsters that eat -gulp- meat?" Popeye asked actually feeling afraid since who knows how long.
"Would... they be willing to eat rabbits or something?" Peter asked as well, half regretting the question yet half afraid of answering his own.
"M-Maybe they would try eating... metal?" Marcy join in as everyone started to ask question that seemed irrelevant to their situation.
"We been walking for so long, I can't even tell if we're the sunlight or is it nighttime." Dorothy spoke her fears.
"Well... hopefully we don't run into any lions."
"And Tigers."
"And Bears." This soon had them worried, even our most fearless fighters to started to worry.
"Lions, Tigers and Bears, oh my!" Soon everyone started to chant as they moved, their walking became almost running, they even started to sprint in fear of their surroundings and what could be watching. Eventually something Roar, everyone startled that they fell on their butts as one lion appeared looking ready to eat something. The Lion look at everyone as they shook, while some still had their weapons on the ready for their last ditch defense against this beast.
"Put them up, put them up. Which one of you will fight me eh? I'll fight you with one arm, I'll fight you with one leg, I'll even fight you with my eyes close." The Lion kept on taunting everyone, feeling proud of himself. Soon he started to demand everyone to fight or accuse them of trying to hurt him when he had started this attack. What everyone didn't notice was some purple like monsters sneaking behind the lion. Peter is first to notice this and his pupils started to shrink with his eyes widen and jaw dropping at their sight.
"Ha-d-d-d-" Peter spoke Gibberish couldn't say proper words due to his fears of the monsters slowly showing themselves. The monsters in question are actually Ghost Pokémon, their are three types called Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar. Together they have been haunting this forest for sometime, making them very dangerous since they are almost impossible to defeat. When everyone stared at what Peter is afraid of, they to started to speak gibberish as they tried to warn the Lion of his supposing ambushers.
"Look at you, your all scared to death." The Lion said laughing, "Next time you come walking this forest, you know that I rule these parts."
Do you?
This spook the Lion as he started to react the same way, he gave some hand signs asking, "There is something behind me isn't there?" Which everyone nod their heads, when the Lion slowly turned around he stared at the ghost pokemon as one spoke, "Boo." The Lion rightfully react in some cartoonish fashion with his fur jump off his skin showing his shirt and underwear with him screaming like some girl, then ran for his life.
"RUN!" Soon everyone got up and sprint leaving nothing but cartoon smoke behind. The Ghost Pokémon gave chase as they tried to catch up with them, as they ran Marcy realize their path is the opposite of where they were suppose to head.
"Hold it, we're going the wrong way." Marcy shouted, everyone stop and look back and forth and saying, "Oh right!" Then they ran towards the ghost Pokémon in full speed, Mickey then used his strong stop spells freezing them in place, without question they ran past them noticing their is about 10 of them chasing the gang. Once they made past the Ghost Pokémon, the spell wore off making them confuse for a moment.
"Gast-Gas." The Gastly pokemon told it's comrades pointing towards the gang behind them. Knowing this they gave chase once more, soon they started to throw some attacks at the gang forcing everyone to keep running, Mickey and Bugs giving some defense and counterattack towards their pursuing enemies. As they run some of them showed tiredness to this ridiculous chase by these pokemon. Drake being a pokemon knows that these guys wouldn't give up, but also know he couldn't beat them in his state.
"We have to lose them somehow!" Mario shouted, having fought ghost before none of his current items would be a match against these guys, since they could have been stronger then his world ghost.
"Bugs, please tell me you have some AMCE product to help our situation." Mickey pleaded for his help. Bugs then started to go through his pockets, which is surprisingly big with how much junk he actually carries. Some of them were thrown at the Ghost pokemon, dodging or phasing through them, but few items manage to hurt them as these products is as quote 'This AMCE product is also Ghost proof to haunted house residents' which is somewhat funny and ironic. Eventually all the ghost got bash by these products, but wasn't enough to stop them from chasing the gang.
"Ah-ha, here it is. AMCE Sweep them up." Bugs shouted showing some old model sweeper in his hands. He stop in his tracks as he turn the sweeper on and pointed at the ghost pokemon. Suddenly one by one each were being suck in by the power of Bug's sweeper, the bigger one's like Haunter lost it's hands, then Gengar had some awaked position from being suck in by butt to head. Once captured, Bugs did his Luigi imitation of capturing ghost.
"Don't do that please." Mario asked and somewhat warned Bugs. While everyone is sighing in relief, they also forgot about their extra company they drag along.
"Don't think we forgot about you Mr. Lion." Dorothy said to the Lion who is actually shaking and... crying?
"I didn't mean it, I acted tough that's all." The Lion said to them with some sniff and tears on his eyes.
"Wait, you mean to tell us that after you acting all tough yours just a... cowardly Lion?!" Marcy said in surprise to this revelation.
"I am a cowardly Lion, I just wanted to prove I'm not afraid, even others laugh at me for being scared. I'm suppose to be a Lion who brings fear toward others knowing I'm king of this forest. But look at me, I get so scared I'm afraid to sleep at night." Some of them showed sympathy towards the Lion, knowing how much this forest has made even the best fighters scared. It wouldn't be surprising if other predators are actually scared being in this forest for so long.
"If you wanted to be brave, you shouldn't pick on people that are weaker then you. Not the way to show bravery, unless you wanted to be labeled as some coward?" Bugs told The Lion who started to calm down after few sniffs and wiping his tears.
"Say would you like to join us to meet the wizard?" Dorothy asked and said, "He could help you give courage."
"You really think so?" The Lion asked being hopeful.
"Sure he could, after all our metal friend has no heart, and I have no Brain. Why I wonder what I do with a Brain sometimes." The Scarecrow said, suddenly some of them had this sense of singing coming up.
Wizard of OZ(Remix Song) - If Only I had
(The Scarecrow)
I could while away the hours,
Conferring with the flowers.
Consulting with the Rain.
And my head, I'd be scratching,
While my thoughts were be hatching,
if I only had a Brain.
I'd unravel every Riddle,
For any individual,
in troubles or in pain.
(everyone)
With the thoughts you be thinking,
You could be another Lincoln,
If you only had a Brain.
(Bugs)
Oh he could tell you why,
The Ocean's near the Shore.
(Mickey)
he could think of things,
he never thunk before.
(Bugs and Mickey)
And then he sit,
and think some more.
(The Scarecrow, Bugs and Mickey)
I Would not be just a nothing,
my head all full of stuffing,
my heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry,
life would be a ding a derry,
If only I had a Brain.
The gang clap at their performance not realizing the music that played except for Peter and Marcy.
"Is that a thing?" Peter asked almost breaking the fourth wall. Marcy shrug unsure how to respond to the question.
"See even if he doesn't have a brain, The Scarecrow still is able to do find joy. But with a brain, he could do many things." Mickey said to The Lion assuring him.
"But what if he says no, I don't how to feel about it?" The Lion express his concerns.
"Even if he did, it's worth going to someone for help. I have no heart, but I still have a brain, if I had a heart. What I would do with a heart." The Tin Man said then stood feeling some rust as Mario came with oil for the Tin Man.
(The Tin Man)
When a man's an empty kettle,
he should be on his mettle.
And yet I'm torn apart.
Just because I'm presuming,
that I could be kind of human.
If I only had a Heart.
(everyone)
You be tender and be gentle,
and awfully sentimental.
Regarding love and art.
You be friends with the sparrows,
and the boy who shoots the arrows.
If you only had a heart.
(Mario)
Picture him,
a balcony,
above the voie sings low.
Wherefore art thou, Romeo?(Background voice)
(The Tin Man and Mario)
I hear a beat,
How Sweet.
Just to register a emotion,
Jealousy,
devotion,
and really feel the part.
I could stay young and chipper,
and I'd lock it with a zipper.
If only I had a heart.
Then the Tin Man started to move but had some trouble since he joints had rusted. Every now and then Mario and Pac-Man could keep close watch on the Tin Man. As they made their way towards the Yellow brick road, the Tin Man dance along with Mario and Pac-Man who followed his steps. As the three dance it was like watching thre guys in top hats, suit and tapping shoes preforming on some stage with crowd watching their every movement. Then when they stop the Tin Man almost tip over on both sides with Mario and Pac-Man both tried to keep his balance. But the Tin Man still fell as he couldn't hold himself up anymore.
"You alright?" Mario asked.
"Yeah, just have to move around. Can't stand still too long." The Tin Man assured.
"See, everyone has their troubles. Even we have our own problems, while we're not seeing the wizard for personal reasons, we still travel because it's better to move forward then standing one place." Bugs told The Lion.
"That's very thoughtful, I just wish I wasn't so scared so easily." The Lion said standing on his feet feeling more calm then before.
"You can talk to us, we'll listen. And then we can ask the Wizard if he can help." Dorothy said to the Lion.
"Thank you, I held these feelings for so long." The Lion and everyone soon gathered together as they started to walk.
(The Lion)
Yeah it's said believe me missy,
when you're born to be a sissy.
Without the vim and verve.
But I could show my prowess,
be a lion,
not a mouse.
If only I had the Nerve.
(Popeye)
I'm afraid there's not denying,
Your just a dandy Lion.
A fate I don't deserve.
You be brave as a blizzard.
(Mario)
You be gentle as a lizard.
(Bugs and Mickey)
You be clever as a gizzard.
(Marcy and Peter)
If the Wizard is a wizard,
who will serve.
(Everyone)
Then I sure to get a Brain, a heart, a home, the nerve!
Soon everyone went off ready to see the Wizard of OZ. With more courage and lighten burdens, everyone move with higher spirit in them. While their trip will take sometime to reach the end, it was with great warmth they still have each other.

Forest - 9 Day later
After sometime in the woods, Bugs and Company have become less afraid and are more relax after so long. However the group are being watch by one named Z9, him and his corrupted Gem minions have gathered in one spot. Since Heartless in these woods and ghost pokemon have been seen interacting with anyone that travels here, it makes their traveling difficult at times. Sometimes it became repetitive, but it was enough to drive them on guard almost all the time.
"I must say, they have progress pretty far. They now have two angel Keys, one is mysteriously gone and the other taken by Delta Force own new recruits. Doesn't take a genius to figure out pieces are falling into place. The question remains, who will move their first piece? Since that kid and his companions are obviously the white chess pieces, what will everyone in the black chess piece will do next. I still expected the kid to start fighting by now, but his performance is nothing but disappointment. Time he gets another reminder of his part." Z9 then turn and face his corrupted Jasper's gems who appear like some lion-wolf monsters with no eye but have big mouths.
Back with the group, everyone still has some fears. But is more manageable, in fact encountering the Lion has actually improve their mood somewhat. It's makes them more grateful they didn't live in such dark forest most of their lives. For the Lion, it makes sense why he be scared.
"Why do those monsters keep appearing?" The Lion asked with relief after the recent fight.
"There called Heartless, those black creatures come and go to those with darkness in their hearts. And then transforms people into heartless, the Primids are more mysterious as they come to worlds snatching warriors and using them for their purpose." Mickey explained.
"Sounds like you fellows have been fighting them." The Scarecrow said.
"Yeah, it's kind of our job. More so for me and Bugs here, everyone tags along for the adventure. Though after this, I wouldn't mind us taking a break." Mickey told them and place his hands behind his back trying to stretch himself a bit from stress.
"Agreed, I practically wouldn't mind taking a vacation for once." Bugs agreed with Mickey as everyone else as well.
"To bad for you." Someone said then appeared Z9 standing in front of them with his cold smirk.
"Unfortunately I need you lot to partake in this excuses, since we have half unable fighters and half pretty decent ones." Z9 gave a knowing smirk, keeping his eyes on Peter.
"Z9 what do you want this time?" Mickey demanded almost in rage.
"Same as last time, but I started to realize if that kid is going to learn, then he should watch you people fight, then pick up from there. Which is why this time, you will face more then one monster I have sent." Z9 explained keeping his smile at all times.
"Who's he?" The Scarecrow asked.
"Z9, he tried to force Peter into fighting battles he shouldn't take part. While we want him and Marcy to live in safety, this guy keep on harassing Peter into battle. Though we don't know why?" Bugs gave his quick explanation and greeting.
"I told you, someone wanted to keep eyes on him. Personally I would have killed you lot and be done, but that's not my call since the pieces are on the move." Z9 gave some vague answered. For the people that didn't see Z9 before, they are awfully upset with his ways. Forcing a child to fight battles they shouldn't take part is not how you raise children.
"You should be ashamed of yourself, forcing children to take fights you could do yourself. Why your nothing but a real coward." Dorothy accused Z9, who response by laughter.
"Oh my dear, you have no idea what battles I have fought!" His last sentence became dark and void of emotion. Then from no where the Corrupted Gem monster jump over Z9 and more appeared surrounding them. Mickey quickly activated his reflect spell to cast out the gem monsters as they bounce back. Looking around they saw at least 6 of them surrounding them.
"As much fun as this would be for free time, it wouldn't bring much confidents for civilians under your protection." Z9 then rush into the dark forest as Mickey and company have to defend their friends who couldn't fight back.

Get ready to smackdown

FIGHT!
Mickey started with the one front, he ran towards the beast swinging his keyblade trying to finish it off. But has proven to tough as it's skin is harder then most enemies he fought before. This one in particular has some powerful defense even Mickey couldn't finish an instant. The Gem Monster then grab Mickey with it's mouth and shook him around until Mickey quickly cast Lighting shocking the gem monster, letting go of Mickey toss at the side. Mickey had to recover quick before the monster charge at him once more. Jumping aside to avoid another attack. Mickey channeled all his light magic into his keyblade, when using light magic one of the principles everyone must know is how powerful light is and limited.
Any keyblade Master can use this power in certain ways, the first is channeling this power as orbs, but to use that you must be able to place a center within the orb so that it doesn't disperse easily. The second is the raw form of light, literally blinding everyone and everything towards the light. Third is able to created light armor surrounding objects and people. Because Light magic is very rare and dangerous if misused, many wouldn't be able to use this power properly. Yen Sid is that exception since he once a keyblade master. Thus the power of light magic has been pasted on to Mickey.
Mickey would then channel light magic by third technique known as Light armor. Covering his Keyblade of light magic he dash at the gem monster, and swung his keyblade more then 5 times. The gem monster tried to fight back, but is destroyed before it could counterattack resulting into gem like state. Mickey saw this and realize immediately these monsters are actually gem forms. As the Gem monster prepares itself to reformed, Mickey quickly rush over and with one mighty swing smashed the gem. This cause what light remains to screech in pain and agony as the gem monster disintegrate into pieces.
Bugs went for one on Mickey's left side, using his hammer to smash the Gem Monster with all his might. Bugs has used much of his AMCE products, so now he has to rely on his wit and trickster tactics if he is able to defeat this monster. In honesty, Bugs is not an fighter by heart. He's more of an fun, joyful and prankster type of guy. But since taking on these adventures with Mickey, he had to learn quickly how to fight back.
"No use, this monster is too strong for me. I have fought monsters before and most times they wont' fall for my usual strategies, although this might be that exception. Since not all monsters are mindless there might be some way to defeat this one. It depends if it has some small intelligence or is mindless from start. In any rate, I have to take this chance or else I'm rabbit chow."
Bugs Thought of ways how to defeat this gem monster. Knowing his hammer/mallet won't be enough to defeat this monster. Taking a gamble, Bugs put his weapon away and place his palm at the monster, but now dress in some police suit with his hand up in authority. The Monster halted in it's track confused by this strange action.
"You are in serious trouble my boy, you have broken too many laws." Bugs then went making ridiculous accusing against the monster by forcing it to dress in clothing too tight, then cutting it's hair short. Making the Gem monster stand on two feet, and taking some drug taste. Soon the Monster got angry and tried to attack Bugs, only to face some bullseye mark with anvil hidden behind it. This knock the monster out forcing into it's gem like state. Bugs pulled an slingshot from his pocket and place the Gem launching it away towards the sky.
Mario sprinted towards the right of Mickey, this one did a spin dash curled into some ball charging at Mario. Forced to dodge everyone behind him as to move away from the attack. Stopping himself, Mario turned to face the gem monster. As it spin towards Mario, He had to think of something to stop this creature from moving too much. Using some of his energy, Mario went for his ultimate attack from his tournament fighting technique. This forced the monster to uncurl itself as it tried to smash Mario on the ground beneath it.
Jumping away, Mario then went for some punches and kicks hoping it be enough to stop this creature. But when he hit the monster, it felt like iron mix with cement when punching it's skin. Mario had to force himself back as the gem monster tried to kill him with few strikes. Yet as they brawled it seemed they are evenly match, but the gem monster had enough and ram Mario in his mid-attack on air. The Gem Monster rammed Mario against the tree, hurt and feeling many pains. Mario could only hope for some miracle to happen.
That had been grated by Droopy who shot at the Gem Monster with one of his trick bullets. This one had samurai armor as it stop mid-air, pulled some katana and slice the gem monster into pieces leaving only the gem intact. Taking this advantage Mario smash the gem into pieces, making sure it doesn't regenerate. Look at Droopy, Mario gave a grateful nod.
"Next time, you should offer some doggy treats." Droopy advised.
Popeye has had his fair share of battles, but this one actually has some challenge. Though fighting Bluto is always a challenge, but that's always an repetitive rematch made by old grudges from their past fights. Every now and then someone or something came along that actually challenge his strength. Although Popeye needs to work on thinking his way through problems instead of punching them as his go to solutions. As they brawled, Popeye would punch right around it's suppose face, this had the gem monster try and attack around Popeye, but that only work if they had some brains.
"Think you can get around me, well it's a good thing I have fought tougher monsters then you." Popeye shouted, as he manage to fight off this gem monster. With every blow the Gem Monster began to growl in rage. Jumping back the Gem Monster curled up for a spin dash, already seeing what's happening, Popeye used all his might to punch at the curled up ball of death. In one mighty swing, the gem monster poof into smoke leaving the gem flying behind Popeye on the soft ground.
As Popeye thought he took care of the monster, it slowly began to regenerate. Once it reformed, the Gem Monster tried to sneak attack. However Popeye turned around grabbing the Gem Monster, then spinning around fast until he release it up towards the sky past the trees.
"I'm strong to the finish, cause I eat my spinach, I'm Popeye the sailor Man." He said breaking the fourth wall.
Jerry and Drake as to move around avoiding the monster's sight. Together they had to tackle this giant beast by themselves, Drake would then use quick attacks with sand attack to blind his opponent. Using this opportunity, Jerry using his abnormal abilities. Jump in the air and kick the Gem Monster with his Kung Fu skills. This manage to not only hurt the Gem Monster, but also force it back by few inches.
Shaking it's head, Drake came back with more attacks using both Quick attacks and Tail Whip at the monster. The two went into hiding knowing they have no chance to defeat the Gem Monster on open combat. Growling the Gem Monster had enough and started to stump everywhere it walked. The two knew they couldn't let this drag on too long. Coming up with an quick plan, the two hide somewhere the Monster couldn't find them easily. As the Gem Monster tried searching for them, Drake ran from behind with Jerry preparing for his attack.
When Drake jump on top from behind, the Gem Monster tried to shake them off as the two held on for dear life. When the Gem Monster stop jumping and stumping around, the two continued their plan. Jerry jump first off of Drake back, then as Drake jump from the Gem Monster head, quickly turning to face his opponent. Jerry used all his super strength to slam on foot on it's head enough to distract the Monster. Drake then used his take down with all his might, successfully the Monster burst into smoke as the Gem is all that remained. Drake caught in then smashed the monster with bite, able to relax the two snuggled as their bond grew.
Pac-Man had very little to no combat experience, running however has always been his thing. He ran from the Gem Monster, only because he wanted to fight off somewhere without people around, that and it made things easier to fight back if necessary. Pac-Man also had another reason, he has been using his supplies almost to empty pockets. He has his Power Pellets, but that is used for emergencies. Lately they been fighting non-stop on this world, so now they have to be careful how they fight. So the strategy is for the Gem Monster to smash into tree a bunch of times hopefully enough to knock it unconscious.
But seeing this wasn't effective enough, Pac-Man has to change tactics. He stop himself to face the Gem Monster, then he jump high enough and spin fast with his leg out. Unfortunately he missed his landing and had his entire body slam the Gem Monster's back. Fortunate enough since it took some damage it poof into an gem once more. Picking up the gem, Pac-Man actually ate it without difficulty. Few seconds later his face morph into disgust, regretting eating the gem.
Once the battle is finished, everyone gathered together as they saw all the monsters are gone.
"You guys are fantastic. I have never seen such fighting skills before." The Tin Man said.
"Eh it was nothing Dorothy, we're used to this kind of fighting." Popeye said with confidents.
"Don't you get tired, since everyone always seems to be good at this, doesn't it get almost depressing to fight all the time." Dorothy asked concern for her friends. This had them pause upon that question, yes they fight a lot, but not have fought to the point of depression. Some have actually thought about their lives since they started, and it became more apparent that they seemed so lost in these battles they didn't realize how much they have been fighting.
"Don't worry, they aren't that type of people consistently enjoy fights. We may not known them very long, but we can say they are good people. Me and Marcy were once lost before meeting them, since then we have been able to find comfort and protection you wouldn't have believe before meeting them." Peter said in their defense, Mickey and Company smiled at Peter as he seemed to grow attach to his friends. In fact when their not fighting or trying to survive it's always nice to have someone that doesn't know how to fight and feel... normal for once.
"Must be nice to have all that Courage, if only I had that must bravery I could give them a one two." The Lion tried to imitate some boxing only to jump by some noises.
"It take more then bravery to fight monster Lion. We should rest for now, it might get dark soon." Mickey said as everyone agreed.
"I'll make us a home." Bugs went off to start making arrangements for the night rest.

Outside forest - Flower Field/6 Days Later
After many trials and many nights in the forest Bugs and Company had finally manage to find sunlight outside the forest. But little did they know where they are heading is already laid trap by the Wicked Witch of the West. Once they made it out the forest, finally able to see daylight the gang almost rejoice, if Dorothy had shouted at what she saw next.
"Oh my goodness, we made it." Dorothy pointed at Emerald City just some distance away.
"Wait, so it's literally named Emerald City?!" Bugs said in surprise.
"How original." Droopy comment.
"Come on, we're almost there." Soon everyone started to run towards Emerald city. While those like The Scarecrow and Tin Man are able to keep moving, the others had started to slow down almost too tired to move. When they made halfway towards Emerald City, The Tin Man and The Scarecrow had to stop for others to catch up.
"Come on, it's just about few minutes away." The Scarecrow shouted.
"Sorry just... tired." Bugs yawned once he reach them.
"Yeah... too tired." Mario suddenly drop as he fell asleep there and then. Soon others began to join as one by one they started to sleep.
"Why... do we feel so... tired?" Marcy tried to stay up, but couldn't with this heavy feeling on her body.
"This... can't… be... normal." Is all Peter said using what strength to endure whatever he happening. He almost felt half asleep and half awake, soon the world around him started to change turning into something different. He began to see things that weren't real or psychically there at least. Peter couldn't make out what he was witness or seeing, but deep down he knew something was off.
Trying to stay awake, visions started to take place in front of him. These visions had started to feel more real as he couldn't make out this visions. What he saw had is himself standing in front of some imposing people covered in shadow. Some of them took different shape and sizes, but the last one had him question as he couldn't make out his surroundings or what he was staring in front of him.
Suddenly the heavy feeling started to wear out as he soon got on his feet seeing snow around them. Then others started to get up as this heavy feeling left their bodies.
"Everyone okay?" the Scarecrow asked.
"Yeah, we're okay... but that was weird." Peter comment about their just recent event.
"I should've seen this coming, the tiredness it was some spell place on these flowers." Mickey said angry at himself.
"Well as long as we learn from our mistakes that fine. Come on we should be close." Popeye said as everyone pick up the pace once more.

Emerald City - Mickey and Company
Once they reach the gates of Emerald City. They were given a welcoming greeting from the people, the mention of Ruby slippers helps since almost everything here is green. As they made their way the gang wanted to take some breather with everything that has happen today. Popeye wanted to check out some food since they had many trips to search in the wilderness. Some actually went along since their stomachs began to growl. The only ones who stayed are Dorothy, Tine Man, Scarecrow, Lion, Mickey and Bugs who keep watch in case something happen.
"This is such a lovely place, I didn't know worlds like these could be this beautiful yet frightening at the same time." Dorothy comment on their journey towards here.
"Yep, so many worlds out there it's almost impossible to count." Bugs said having past experience with Mickey.
"How many worlds have you traveled?" The Lion asked curious about these worlds.
"If you look at night sky, you can say that's how many worlds there are together or by themselves." Mickey explained, having traveled to some worlds since starting as keyblade wielder.
"Must be nice to travel to many places, does it get lonely?" The Scarecrow asked since these two have some experience in this stuff.
"Nay, we usually go to one world then return to our world. It's almost as routine since we have been traveling one world after another." Truth be told, Mickey couldn't really count or have lost track since seeing other worlds have almost been exciting at first.
Yay a lot of worlds exist out there, some are similar but have small or large differences. It really depends on the location or world we travel towards. Sometimes there are worlds we're better off not visiting. I know we have encounter those times." Bugs said reminded of worlds that have been dangerous if not worst worlds to visit.
While everyone is talking, Popeye and company had gotten themselves lunch. After many days in the wilderness finding whatever they could other then apples and corn from the Scarecrow and Tin Man, they had to search for many different foods. Of course it didn't always help that Bugs carried supplies of carrot seeds that needed to planted and grow to be ready. Now able to relax and enjoy themselves.
Popeye obviously order something with spinach, Jerry ate some cheese and other foods like olives and small milkshake. Drake had some sort of dog food, but is instead given berries which tasted good. Droopy enjoyed some sandwich he can eat, Mario had some salad with mushrooms surprisingly(Not), Pac-Man had coca cola as one drink and hot paste alfredo. Marcy had her two cheeseburger not realizing how hungry she was, and Peter had what large subs and drink almost eating much since they are really hungry.
"Oh my gosh, I cannot believe how good food right now." Marcy enjoying every moment of this taste really good.
"I will never take food lightly again, this is almost too good to waste." Peter mumble between bites.
"Don't choke on your food Peter, that be bad for you." Mario lightly scolded Peter since he was almost rushing his meal.
"Sorry, couldn't resist the taste." Peter slowed down as he chewed, but had some difficult resisting chowing down.
"So, what's next? I figure you guys would have some gummi ship in hand." When Popeye asked this, everyone glance at one another sometimes sighing for those who have been traveling the way they have. Mario gave a brief run down what is happening and have told of no Gummi ship has been available for sometime. Surprise by their explanation, Popeye shrug it off since they have handle these situations before.
Suddenly everyone started to scream and panicking staring at the sky, as the Wicked Witch of the east flew in the sky and used some black smoke to write words as some warning to anyone who gets in her way. Soon crowds of people started to rush towards supposedly the Wizard of OZ is located, the group had to force themselves back since they couldn't reach the gates or move with this crowd around them. Soon heartless started to appear scaring everyone of this attack.

Soon more heartless began to appear, the gang had to defend the people from these creatures. Popeye went off as he tried to finish those monster off as quickly as possible. As the Battle progress some familiar heartless started to appears such as Shadows, Soldiers, and Large Body's. This made things harder as Mario and Pac-Man went off to deal with them. Droopy being the only one with long range capabilities shot at the Shadow Witch and Magicians that floated around them. This went on until the heartless scattered among the area to search for fresh hearts besides them since they couldn't catch or defeat these fighters.
"Woah, looks like we need to split up. Everyone search for those heartless, Marcy and Peter you two should head toward Mickey and Bugs, no doubt the Witch will try something we these monsters around." Popeye ordered, the gang scattered in search of the heartless with Marcy and Peter going back towards Mickey, Bugs, Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion's location. It took sometime, but they manage to make it there with some difficulty as they help some people escape or hid from heartless. Once they saw heartless attacking the group. Peter and Marcy rush toward Dorothy and company, knowing they aren't safe with these heartless around.
"Hey you people, this way the Wizard demands an audience with the lot of you." Said the gate keeper, taking this moment the eight traveled towards the opening gate as they fought back against the heartless, since no one is around they had to protect the group from them. Once they made it inside the heartless tried to get in, only to be blinded by Mickey's light spell that scattered the heartless or daze them enough for their escape.
"Due to the state of emergency, the Wizard wants some words with you people and the Keyblade wielder that defends worlds." The Gate Keeper said to them.
"You know about the keybalde?" Mickey asked suspicious of this individual.
"Why yes, everyone knows about the keyblade wielders, a group of seven came here some years ago. Were fighting of people who have called themselves seekers, even outnumbers the Wizard of Oz is able to stand side by side with them and fight off these monsters. Since then the wizard of Emerald City has protected this city from those dark creatures and other forces. If your worried about the keyblade, this world's is protected. However the Wizard has been warned of this upcoming darkness since the Wicked Witch of the west started to ally with dark wielders of the keyblade." The Gate Keeper explained, this draw some concerns to Mickey and Bugs. Since this is one world visited by the Unions it can have hidden secrets that could destroy the world order.
"As for you Dorothy, The Wizard wants to see you personally along with your friends. If it wasn't for these dire circumstance I would have said no, but he personally has said bring them to him. So be on your best behavior and listen to what the Wizard has to say. By chance any of you have questions, the Wizard will answer them. Now if you excuse me, I have to defend this city and residents from those dark creatures." The Gate Keeper then went out as the gang are now inside with long corridors.
"That's one way to get to see the wizard." Tin Man comment.
"Must be very important to see us immediately, come on." Following Dorothy's lead, the group walk down the pathway. Many were nervous about meeting the Wizard, however for the two experience world travelers, they are concern about some revelation of Keyblade Wielders that have traveled on this world. As they made their way towards the Wizard's room, the Lion got cowardly almost shaking his own fur off. Slowly walking towards the entrance of the Wizard's room, the group started to shake even more by the Wizard's shouts.
When they finally arrive, everyone had thought what the Wizard would look like on this journey. Some figure he be some old man in average clothes, some thought of him as this city's kind ruler, but once they saw him the reality of this wizard began to fill with dread. This Wizard that stands or floats with only one green head towered them with fear and intimation.
"I am Oz, the great and powerful. I have heard rumors that you came here for your specific needs, I will grant them once I learn of your request." OZ said with great commanding voice. While everyone is focus on the Wizard Mickey and Bugs drift apart to themselves concerning about this world history with keyblade wielders.
"Say Mick, is it just me or has some of our adventures have stumbled upon another clash between light and darkness." Bugs whispered thinking of what they recently heard.
"I know there seems to be many worlds that are starting to be effected by their clash. It's almost as if the worlds are facing another light vs darkness like the Keyblade War before. After we're done we have to visit the Union Leaders with this important information. For now, we must work together to finish this one." Mickey has some ideas what is happening, the hints and signs of another war is terrifying since the last one ended with many worlds into darkness. For now they can't focus on that since there will be time for later discussions.
"You ought to be ashamed of yourself, frightening him when he wanted your help." Dorothy scolded the Wizard, their Lion friend has fainted from being scared to death by the wizard. From what you can guess just the wizard's appearance is enough to make children hide from him.
"SILENCE, WHIPPER SNAPPER! the magnificent OZ's has heard of your request and is willing to grant them." OZ's said with booming voice, "However there is some matter that needs to be discussed. With your keyblade wielder friend I asked only this, destroy the armies that lay in the Witch's castle and bring me her broom. The dark creatures known as Heartless have been active on this world for short time. And I want them cast off if we are to have peace. The Witch has been making deals with some creatures that call themselves orcs. Even with my knowledge I have no idea where they came from." The Wizard stop for a moment then look at Mickey in particular.
"Years back, 7 Keyblade Wielders as guardians came to this world. I was there when witness this battle, they have asked people to partake in their conflict against the darkness who call themselves 13 seekers. In the conflict the guardians have mention the Witch as being former member of the 13 seekers, allies to their cause. Since that conflict the Witch of the west has bought herself sometime until she can gain power to fight once more. I believe with these Ruby Slippers, she can achieve this if she were to obtain them. But with your help, we can finally bring rest to this world. Now Keyblade Wielder, bring waste to her armies and once you retrieve the broom, I will grate you your request." The Wizard explain, this brought shock and surprise to many who have listen to the Wizard's demand.
"Wait a minute, if we do this, we have to kill her." The tin Man pointed out.
"Of course, but since everyone has manage to make it this far, one more adventure wouldn't hurt. The Castle is about 2 days from here, right around the borders of her territory. With luck you will succeed and both parties will be happy, now go." The Wizard ordered, but the Lion needed to asked something, "What if she kills us first."
"I SAID GO!" Without hesitation, the Lion zoom out as everyone could only watch as the Lion ran down the hallway and out towards the window in less then 15 seconds flat.
"Talk about exit stage left moment." Peter replied in surprise yet impressive stare.

Wicked Witch's Forest - Dorothy and friends/2 Day Walk
The task to take on the Wicked Witch and steal her Broom is all but unassured. Since practically half of their group couldn't fight, but if they are to succeed the Wizard of OZ had instructed all of them travel towards The Witch's lair, if they are to be granted any request from OZ. Forced into defending themselves with weapons that be useless against such odds is concerning if not weary.
Mickey and Company had decided to travel ahead of the group Dorothy and friends including Marcy and Peter to sneak in the Witch's Castle. While Mickey and Company would confront the orcs at their camp. From a distance you can tell the battle got fierce as Mickey and company showed no mercy towards the orcs. However even if they were to fight off against the orcs, there was no guaranteed the orcs didn't leave some close towards the Witch's castle.
When the group arrive to see some warning signs, The lion took one read saying "I turn back if I were you" was enough to get him running back for his cowardliness. But the others tried to remind the Lion they are together and will face this Witch as one. But the forest as them scared to death as noise around them had many grown paranoia.
"I do believe there is some spooks around here." the Scarecrow said with gun in hand, some of them have brought weapons to defend themselves. Marcy and Peter went with their short sticks for combat since they are used to them by now.
"That's ridiculous, there no such things as spooks." The Tin Man said in disbelief.
"D-Don't you believe in spooks." The Lion stuttered in asking.
"That's ridiculous, th-" He didn't get few words in when someone or something pick him up, next moment he fell down from high up. luckily he's made of metal otherwise that would have hurt really bad. Dorothy and friends started to move slowly as they weren't sure what they will encounter, The Lion didn't help since he keeps repeating the words, "I do believe in spooks, I do believe in spooks" that has the group shaking some.
"Come on Lion, we can do this." Marcy tried to calm Lion down.
"Marcy's right, our friends are fighting those creatures somewhere else, we should be okay by ourselves." Dorothy assured Lion.
"But what if something else comes around?" He asked scared.
"Then we'll face it together. Even if alone we must keep on moving." Peter encourage Lion, but before anyone can move they saw in the sky... flying monkeys?! Everyone had to take cover before they arrive, but by then the monkeys knew where to search. The Scarecrow got torn apart by the monkeys, Tin Man had hard time combating them as they fought dirty by overwhelming numbers. The Lion cowardly run as best he could before running back trying to hide. Dorothy ended up taken along with Toto who the Wicked Witch demanded their presence, at the same time Marcy is also taken by mistake as Peter couldn't defend her or himself.
"Help!" Marcy shouted, but it was too late. The monkeys left leaving everyone in a state of disarray, all they could do is regroup and assess everything that has happen.

Wicked Witch's Castle - Dorothy, Toto and Marcy's captured
"What a nice little doggy." The Witch Place Toto in Dorothy's basket with the monkey carrying it. Marcy and Dorothy are standing feeling powerless to fight back, they knew if they tried anything this will end very badly. The witch had created a tornado out of nothing except her powers, left with no choice both had to behave or face this witch's fury.
"Why do you need those Ruby Slippers so badly." Marcy angrily said trying to act tough.
"Simple my little pretty, they will grant me powers beyond your understanding. You see even now your so called keyblade friends are being dealt with by the orcs who are camp outside this castle in the forest. For too long I have ruled this East side of OZ, now I want all these lands. But the problem is the resistance many will fight back, these orcs will provide a means to an end. They have all their armies spread far and wide searching for something, they didn't say what but they assured it be most powerful creature to be left hidden on this world. After their usefulness is done, I will build myself a new army, one that I can control. For now I demand you release those ruby slippers or else your doggy friend gets to swim." The Witch threaten.
"No, you can have them just give me back Toto." Dorothy cave in under pressure. Marcy couldn't blame her because of their dire situation, for now they will have wait for their rescue. When the Witch tried to grab the ruby slippers, her hands got shocked and flinch back at the ruby slippers defense.
"I was a fool, those Ruby Slippers won't come off. Not as long as your alive." This had Marcy concern now knowing once they stick on someone, they don't come off easy. As the Witch was about to explain her spell, Toto made his escape from the monkey and witch long enough to run out from the castle and towards the wilderness. As short victory goes, this wasn't time to celebrate. The Witch had enough and explain that her hourglass is how much time the two had and left them alone for now. By themselves Dorothy cried and express being scared of their situation.
"Don't be scared, our friends will come help us." Marcy said comforting Dorothy.
"But what if they don't, Marcy we're all by ourselves and our friends are left alone with who knows what. I wanted to see auntie am so much, I'm now worried about what's going to happen. I want to believe... but I'm frighten, I'm frighten and I don't know what to do." Dorothy couldn't control herself as she held to Marcy with almost death grip arms, Marcy didn't know what to say or how to help Dorothy. Both of them are stuck in this situation, and have no one else but themselves.
After thinking to herself and idea pop up then Marcy asked, "Do you know a song?" Dorothy calm down somewhat and look at Marcy, "When my Mom tried to confront me, she always sing a song. Maybe we can do that?" Dorothy started to dry up her tears, and thought about it.
"Well, before everything... I always wanted to see what's over the rainbow. You see sometimes I get into trouble, I wish there was somewhere trouble didn't happen and maybe me and my new friends can stay safe." Dorothy explain herself then started to sing to herself.
Wizard of OZ(Somewhere over the rainbow)
(Dorothy)
Somewhere over the rainbow,
way up high.
There's a land that I heard of,
once in a Lullaby.
Somewhere over the Rainbow,
skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
really do come true.
(Marcy)
Someday you will wish upon a star,
and wake up where the clouds,
are far behind you.
(Dorothy and Marcy)
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
always above the Chimney tops,
that's where you'll find us.
(Dorothy and Marcy)
Somewhere over the rainbow,
blue birds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little blue birds fly,
beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh why can't I?
Dorothy for first time this their adventure, felt relax and at peace even in their dire situation.
"Thank you Marcy, you be a great sister I never had." Dorothy compliment her.
"Well, I am a only child." Both of them giggled, until someone laugh in some wicked way. The crystal ball shown the Wicked witch had listen and heard everything they said.
"You two think your safe because of some song, I'll give you anew tune to sing." The Witch laugh disappearing from their site.
Outside the castle, the others have finally catch up with some difficulty. Thanks to Toto for escaping the Wicked Witch leading towards the others, with Toto leading them towards Wicked Witch's castle, the gang had to think of some plan to get past the guards and somehow enter the castle undetected.
"What's that?" Lion pointed at the Castle in fear.
"That's the wicked witch's castle." The Scarecrow answered.
"We have to get them out of there." The Tin Man started to cry when feeling sad for Dorothy.
"Don't worry Tin Man, we'll save them. We just have to somehow sneak past them without being detected." Peter assured the Tin Man, then the Lion pointed something down below showing the Witch's guards marching around her castle, they appeared to be watching for anything that would try to sneak past them. But what had the group most concern is another group of creatures called orcs, about 8 of them with gray armor and skin. The leading orc had some heavy armor with an crude sword on both sides. The nine walk in without trouble, leaving the guards to march and watch for intruders.
"Those must be the orcs the Wizard was talking about." Peter said with his observation.
"I have a plan to get in there, and your going to lead." The Scarecrow pointed at Lion as he look fearful at this suppose plan.
"Me?!" Lion wanted to say something, but then had encouragement from Peter, "Come on, you wanted to have a nerve, now's the best time." The Lion look at Peter and everyone then at the castle with determination.
"Alright, I'll do it for Dorothy and Marcy, no matter what there I'll tear them apart, god's or no god's I'll tear them apart. I may not come out there alive, but there's something I want you fellows to do." The Lion actually sounded brave for a moment.
"What's that?" All three asked.
"Talk me out of it." Just as the Scarecrow and Tin Man tried to prevent the Lion from escaping, some guards came sneaking behind them trying to ambush the group. Peter saw this and got scared as he tried to warn the others. The guards jump on them, making everyone try and take down their attackers or defend themselves. After the skirmish all three dress in guard uniform, Peter and Toto are the only two that can't fit in those clothing. As the guards are moving towards the building the Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion, Peter and Toto snuck behind the line to make sure they weren't spotted or caught.
Once the group made it inside the castle, they hang back to allow the guards to move further in the castle walls. They then follow Toto where he will show them where Dorothy and Marcy are being kept. After good couple of minutes of sneaking and fast walking the group ventured towards the room where Dorothy and Marcy are being kept.
"Oh thank you." Dorothy shouted with joy, as she and Marcy hug their companions.
"Come on we have no time to lose." As the Group make their way towards the castle entrance, the doors shut tight hearing laughter from above to see the wicked witch had plan for their capture, "Thought you were clever, well you are in for a nasty surprise." Instead of her guards, the nine orcs appeared with weapons at hand pointing towards the group.
"That's right, just wait for a moment. We'll let them think about their last thoughts." The Witch said with glee, then she toss the hourglass towards them. But before they attack, the Scarecrow had moment of brilliance using the Tin Man's axe to cut down the ropes causing the chandelier to fall on top. The Orcs were ready for fighting since they had no problem using violent methods. But are not used to unorthodox tactics.
"Seize them, seize them." The Witch ordered as her guards finally arrive to try and capture them. In the chase the Witch tried to concern them around another hallway, only for nothing to be found. The only thing there was some painted picture that was actually removed and place with Dorothy, Tin Man, Lion, Scarecrow, Peter, Marcy and Toto in some frozen state. As the Witch ran past them, the group unfreeze and ran back to try and open the gate. The witch however arrive the same time forcing them upstairs, the chase is on as Mickey and Company are still facing the orcs in the haunted forest. Apparently there are more then they realize, leaving the recuse little too late by the time they would arrive.
"Quick this way!" Few turns around each concern the group tried to find another exit, only to be caught up by the Wicth's guards. After few minutes of chasing around, the guards finally surround them. They couldn't find any place to hide or run, the took joy in their struggles.
"Ring around a roses, and a pocket full of spears. Thought you would escape or your friends would save you in time, they are still fighting the hordes of orcs that resigned in my territory. The last to die will watch all her friends die one by one, and her little dog too." The Witch saw some torch hanging above her, using her broom she reach up and brought back some fire.
"How about some fire scarecrow." She laugh at his fear and powerless against her, Dorothy wasn't willing to watch as her friend burned, grabbing some water she toss it over the Scarecrow and splash some on the Witch, hearing her screech everyone watch in surprise and shock at what happen next.
"You cursed brat, look what you have done. I'm melting, I'm melting, oh what a world, what a world. Who would have thought, a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness, OHHH, No, I'm going." With the Wicked Witch's last words, she melted into whatever she was before. Now dead she is gone for good, but as she melted Mickey and Company arrive by scaling the castle wall, only to find the Wicked Witch dead.
"Woah, talk about anti-climatic. You actually beat an all powerful Witch." Popeye said complimenting them.
"We didn't mean, really I didn't. It-it just the scarecrow was on fire." Dorothy explained.
"Hail to Dorothy the Wicked Witch is dead." the guard repeated the chant with great cheer.
"Well that actually solve itself." Mickey commented, remembering their task they took the Wicked Witch's broom and head back to see the Wizard.

Emerald City - Wizard of OZ's room/2 Day Return Walk
When they return from defeating the Wicked Witch. Everyone had gathered in the Wizard's room, some who didn't see the Wizard are actually shock and scared at this individual.
"How did you defeat the wicked witch?" The Wizard demanded.
"Well sir, we toss some water on her, and she melted." Dorothy explained with great smile.
"Oh you liquified her, very impressive. Now before I answer your request, come back tomorrow and I will think about it." The Wizard said to them, this cause some distress to some the group members, especially Dorothy who wanted to see her home again.
"Now hold on Doc, you promised if we did this we-" Bugs didn't get to finish as the Wizards started to shout in anger, Toto ignoring this walk towards some curtains that revealed someone is controlling some device. This is caught by Dorothy as her friends started to see this old man controlling some device as he spoke in some microphone. Having enough Popeye walk over, ripping the curtains off and dragging the man back.
"Now who the heck are you?" Mario asked glaring at the old man.
"I am the great and powerful... wizard." He tried to say in some loud voice.
"You are?" Everyone shouted from being scared to angry at the old man.
"What the actual heck. Why are you trying to scare us like this?!" Mickey demanded confused and frustrated by this man's action.
"Well, I just wanted people to feel safe since the last time it happen." The man said then explained, "You see back before I came here, I was once part of an circus performance, had magic tricks and other things. But when I came apparently someone had team up with the Wicked Witches of East and West. Then those dark creatures called heartless showed up along with those people called Seekers." Before he can explain further, bugs interrupted him trying to process what he just said, "Wait, wait a minute. You mean about the heartless and seekers being here is true?!" Even Mickey had a hard time believing this story after tricking them.
"Why yes, it was with those Guardians help I was able to defend this world and the people. That's why I created this illusion of being great and powerful Oz, to protect Emerald City should it be attack again, only this time they be scared of the made up legend of OZ." He finished his explanation to them.
"I can understand that, but you had us all scared to death by this act." Dorothy scolded OZ.
"You humbug." The Scarecrow accused.
"Yes your right, I'm just a humbug." Oz admit his mistakes he has made, but had good reasons for them.
"What happen to the things you promise, the Lion's courage, the Tin Man's Heart." The Scarecrow angrily said.
"What scarecrows brain." Both Tin Man and Lion finish Scarecrow's sentence.
"Hold on, you guys already have them." Mario said gaining everyone's attention.
"What you mean?" The Lion curiously asked.
"Exactly as he means, after all from what we were told. Scarecrow has shown he has some brain, if it wasn't for his quick thinking you guys would have been trap by those orcs." Bugs explained about the Scarecrow.
"And Tin Man, has more heart then most would think of, cause if you didn't care you wouldn't have compassion for others or for those around you." Mickey complimented the Tin Man.
"And let's not forgot our lion friend, if anyone had the nerve to stand up to monsters like the Wicked Witch, then many of us would be able to fight. But the fact remains that you stood up with your friends and have more courage then the bravest soldiers around." Popeye told the Lion.
"Say their right. After being on this adventure, I can see us being able to achieve our dreams." The Tin Man said to himself, The Scarecrow and Lion also thought of the same idea.
"But guys, what do we do about Dorothy?" Mario mention Dorothy since practically everyone except her can be solved with medium difficulty.
"I can help, when I came to this world. I had some Hot air balloon, I haven't used it in years, but I think it will work for your predicament." Oz offered wanting to make up for his action.
"You mean it." Dorothy cheerfully said.
"Why yes, if I had arrive in this world through Hot air balloon, then surely I can do the same again." Dorothy felt happy that she can finally return home again.

Emerald City Center - Mickey and Company
Everyone in the city had gathered, now having seen the wizard in person who is more friendly appearance then his previous look. The Wizard is giving some speech to the people of Emerald City, he may have some scary appearance, but he still is kind hearted to them.
"You know there is something bugging me." Bugs started and turn facing Mickey, "Those Orcs were looking for something, yet when we arrive they didn't fight as hard. But the amount of Orcs that remained are hard to ignore. Like we missed something when attacking their fortress." Mickey thought the same since he and others were trying to finish them off. It was an gamble to leave the others to sneak in and get the Witch's broom. Yet it still a good call since there was way too many orcs then they anticipated, was worst some the equipment they found as the orcs ran is heavily armored weapons and digging tools.
"I think those Orcs belong to Gandalf's old enemy. And I feel somehow they manage to leap from one world to another by some power we're not familiar or aware of yet." Mickey thought about when he met Gandalf and has told some stories of his world and their history about himself and their true enemy. Suddenly brought back from his thoughts, Dorothy shouted for her dog Toto who is chasing some cat. This had lead to Oz accidently lift off towards the sky, the group couldn't prevent this if they wanted their friend hurt by the hot air balloon's breaking apart. As they watch Oz makes his way off Dorothy cried not able to get home, her new friends comfort her knowing she is worried for her friends and family.
Then from up above an pink bubble started to slowly arrive on ground. From this bubble appeared the good Witch of the North Glinda, when she appeared many bowed in respect of her as they know and love her in these lands.
"Who's that?" Mickey asked in awe by her appearance.
"That's the good witch of the North Glinda, she must have come here to help." The Scarecrow said.
"Do not worry Dorothy, you can return home at any moment as you like." Glinda assured Dorothy.
"What... but how?" Knowing what she was going to asked, Glinda continued, "It was with you all along, the Ruby Slippers you have will help you back."
"Wait a minute Missy, you mean to tell us she could have been sent back at any other time?!" Popeye said in confusion and annoyance.
"She had to find that out for herself, Dorothy had to learn on her own." Glinda explain in her own wisdom.
"So Dorothy what have you learn?" Mickey asked.
"Well... I think that, that is wasn't enough just to want see uncle Henry and auntie am. And if I ever go looking for my hearts desire again, then I won't any further then my own old backyard. Because if it wasn't there, I never lost it to begin with." Dorothy explain herself, showing she has learned a lot on this trip.
"Sometimes we tend to forget where we are home sometimes." Marcy said, everyone agreeing with her. Dorothy is told by Glinda that she can return at any moment, but this also meant she had to say goodbye to her new friends. One by one she said few words to everyone as they will miss Dorothy once she returns home.
"Goodbye Tin Man, I'm going to miss you." Dorothy cried as she spoke, "Don't cry your going to rust."
"Now that I have a heart, it's breaking." Tin Man tried not to cry, but this was one moment everyone found this sad, yet bittersweet feeling.
"Goodbye Lion, You know I know it wasn't right, but I'm going to miss when you always cried for help before you found your courage." Dorothy said feeling with much sadness in her heart.
"I wouldn't have found it, if it wasn't for you." Lion said looking down but is glad for her.
"I think, I'm going to miss you the most." Dorothy went to hug Scarecrow, who had few to no words to say.
"You ready now." Glinda asked, when she said yes. With specific instruction Glinda told Dorothy what she needed to say and soon she and Toto vanish to their world once more. Mickey and Company couldn't help but cry when watching the scene unfold. Soon some of the people started to depart as Glinda wanted to speak with the world traveling company.
"Now keyblade wielder and protector of many worlds. You can your companions probably have some questions about those strange visitors and the past history of your involvement." Glinda asked, Mickey nodded as everyone is curious.
"Well Missy, there has been a lot going on. Only Mickey and Bugs have been troubled as of late." Both look at everyone with one raised eyebrow.
"It's true, lately there has been weird things. Even though I have my own problems, we our adventure it seems a lot of strange things are happening as of late." Mario replied.
"To answer some of your questions, the reason for your visit must be because of that key you hold my friend." Glinda said to Peter, he pulled the two keys trying to look for the third key, but then realize he only has two.
"Wait, where the third one?" Peter muttered to himself.
"Those keys you have are what guides you to your destination. But also be weary, for those are not meant to hold by anyone of creation or else the power will be used in dark purpose. As for the keyblade wielders, you wonder why there are stories of past wielders traveling to this world? It was when the Great and powerful Oz arrive he and I had to defeat two sister witches who wanted to rule these lands. Backing them are 13 seekers who allied themselves along with few other allies from other worlds to join them. The Guardians came to this world in hopes to prevent what is known as Keyblade War. Once we defeated the wicked witches they asked us to join their guardian ranks in hopes to defeat the seekers from recreating the war.
While I could not leave this world unprotected, Oz went with the guardians to defeat the 13 seekers who gathered allies for their cause. When he returned Oz did have learned magic by your skills and talents. But chose to use trickery and machines instead, as for who those 13 seekers are I don't know, it has been long time since anyone seen them." When Glinda finished her explanation, it brought more questions to their already many questions in their adventures.
"Guess that's good an explanation as we can get." Bugs said to Glinda's explanation.
"Still where do we go from here?" Mario asked what everyone is thinking.
"How about your congratulating that kid's first kill." Everyone turn to face the individual who attack them sometime ago.
"Hey is that who I think it is." The Scarecrow shuttered in fear.
"Z9." Mickey hissed at his name.
"Aw, and I thought we were good training buddies. After all I heard that you manage to kill some wicked witch, that is impressive itself for beginners luck." He said to the group.
"We didn't mean to kill her." Peter defend them.
"No but you watch, that still as bad as killing someone in cold blood. But I guess you still need work on the "act" of the kill." Before he could say anything, Mickey and Bugs charge at him swinging their weapons at Z9, giving him swings from both keyblade and hammer. After their done, the two look back to see nothing happen, as if Z9 wasn't even attacked.
"If your going to attack someone, magical weapons like that keyblade is useless against my might." Z9 casually said in boredom. The two switch to their magic and bag of tricks. Mickey had enough magical reserve to fight against this guy, Bugs used what remains of the AMCE products that are useful or gimmick at this point. Yet despite this all powers are useless, when frozen he simply moved demonstrating the coldest ice or space held no power shattering the blizzard attack, same with fire, lighting and other magical abilities Mickey used. Bugs bag of tricks did nothing as Z9 moved in boredom waiting for their attacks to finish. Once they did, Mickey and bugs took the time to examine the damage to his body. Yet nothing happen except brushing dust off.
"Guess it's my turn." Before anyone could respond, Z9 punch Mickey at his gut with enough force to sent flying through the Emerald City wall and towards some distance location. Bugs tried to react only for his ears to be grabbed, and forced to take the blow by Z9's punch. It was enough to send Bugs slamming against the walls creating 10 holes in distance with Bugs unconscious with actual blood running down his head.
Everyone look in shock shouting in worry, "BUGS, MICKEY!" As they couldn't believe how easy they were defeated without effort.
"See this is why I have no reason to fight you guys, your boring with that abilities of yours." Z9 taunt, only for Popeye to punch right at his face, and felt more punches on his chest and face. Popeye continued the assault, at every spot any boxer would know where to hit. Just as he finish, Popeye realize he didn't hurt or make any damage towards Z9's body.
"That it?" Once more before Popeye could respond.
CRACK
Popeye's jaw crack feeling his teeth shattered by Z9's uppercut sending him flying the same with Bluto. Realizing the danger Droopy, Mario, Pac-man, Drake and Jerry charge at Z9 with everything they had, Droopy fired some bullets that only resulted in their attacks useless, Mario used some of his punches and kicks with every super smash bro trick he learned. Pac-man followed his lead using some tricks he used before to attack Z9, Drake used his attacks to try and distract him along with Jerry that would leave small punches every now and then.
"Yep might as well get it done." In quick motion, Z9 grab both Mario and Pac-man and slam their bodies together facing each other, then quickly in 1 thousandth second slam both fist on their heads, creating creator like meteor on the ground with their face bash in the ground. When Drake tried to combat him, Z9 grab his tail roughly and grab Jerry in his grasp, then punch Drake in his stomach with enough force to slam against the emerald city wall leaving a crack. Then to insult Drake's injury he threw Jerry at Drake with enough force to break the wall leaving them hurt badly with possible internal bleeding.
Z9 used enough force to have 1 hit OK's in his battles and knew how much force will kill or injure some fighters. Knowing they are strong fighters they will survive, Droopy grown cold feet as he drop his gun and held his hands up scared of him, Marcy and Peter weren't fairing any better witnessing something this brutal. Marcy couldn't help but scream at the horrible sight, Glinda watch but prepared for her magic to be used.
"I'm sure your friend's will live, I made sure they survive, but remain unconscious for me to discuss some topics." Soon he vanish and appeared again with Marcy in his hand holding her hair despite being short.
"LET MARCY GO!" Peter shouted in anger.
"Then come and get me with all your might. If your suppose to travel worlds, then be ready to fight." Z9 demand almost like he's teaching someone.
"Do not listen to him, he only wants you to fight with hatred and violence. The path set for you can only be clear when turn toward peaceful solutions." Glinda told Peter.
"Stay out of this North Wicthy." Z9 is annoyed by magic users, always acting cocky like they know things. Even those who are science and technology are arrogant Bas&$ who have no real answers with idiot ideas about themselves.
"Why... Why do I have to fight you. What do you expec-" Suddenly Peter started to think of every encounter he had with Z9 and his destructive battles. Then he thought about his adventures and what Z9 said over their adventures. Suddenly the light bub in his brain blink, and Peter knew what is going on.
"The Keys... This whole thing has been about the keys." Peter had to collect his thoughts then explained, "When I went on this trip, it was by chance that I ended up on some other world, but you or your partner would have found me eventually. That guy in the forest, you work for him or something? Then when Mickey and bugs found that key, you knew I was suppose to do something, since then you expect me to fight. You want something, but I can't figure out why?" Peter concluded with more questions then answers.
"The Keys you have collected so far, are very ancient and powerful artifacts once used for one purpose. But then time flew by and people had long forgot to complete this important task. What was once suppose to be done through chosen people, now lays on your hands. But fear not, for you must learn to resist powers that tempt you. Z9 may believe in violence, but the path you follow is one narrow and straight." Glinda advise to Peter, making him wonder how much does she know.
This question is raised by Z9 at her advise, "How do you know about the keys?" He demand, Glinda bend on her knees and told Z9, "More then you realize." She secretly handed Peter some cloth with something inside. Then without warning used her magic to blast Peter towards Z9 with strong gust of winds. At the same time Mario and Pac-man had slowly recovered enough to jump at Z9. As everyone is focus on others, the key glowed in Peter's hand making all five vanish instantly.
Once everything began to calm down, everyone that was close by or have taken cover check to see what happen.
"I-Is he gone?" The Lion asked.
"I think so, oh I hope they are alright." Tin Man concern for his new friends.
"They will be, but first we need to gather everyone up. And bring medical care to them." Glinda told the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion.
"Right, come on fellows." The Scarecrow left along with his two companions, Glinda stood where she watch them vanish to another world, "The times are changing, we all will have to decide if we are with or against to this conflict long forgotten." Is what she muttered.

Delta Force Base - Energy Containment Sector
"Have to say, in all the years studying science, I have never thought this one object would hold more power with just only 2-10 percent." A Scientist said studying the object Dagger brought, two of them to their surprise.
"According to our reports, Dagger and Blade encounters some complications. One of which happens to be some mercenaries, already we're in bad terms with them, we don't need to antagonize them any more then necessary." One Guard said watching the scientist, the scientist in question has white lab coat with goggles covering their eyes and mouth from their coats. Average human face depending on the individual, since he's not the only scientist on this field. For now he's assign to this task since he can read energy readings better then most.
"Those Mercenaries have always despise us when things gone bad, give them about few years and we should be in good terms. Personally I don't know why we need them, all they ever provide is necessary tools, alliances, and people who are supplies. But I hear their slave markets have always been their best payment for the longest time." He said to his guard.
"The Mercs are willing to work with us so long we provide new slaves for their business, though I wouldn't be surprise if many species are going extinct because of our far reaches, some aren't even are faults despite able to revive their species thought dead." The guard comment, knowing their reach never stops even on space and time.
"If your talking about D10, then I would place those ideas behind. It's obvious their some kind of conspiracy for covering our insurgence." Telling the guard the more logical ideas.
"Heh, say what you will. But even science can't explain everything, I mean sure everything isn't under our control, but you guys from D8 and D7 with their agents, I be surprise why we have any resistance from anyone, course I'm a grunt so I wouldn't know these things." The guard arrogantly said about themselves.
"I would bite that tongue of yours, not everything is simple as you make them." The scientist gets tired of these talks they say about their Science Division also called D8, which has always develop all matters of warfare and others if necessary. D7 also known as Intelligence Division is infamously known for absolute intel on everything, everyone and every history despite how impossible it sounds, some of which is kept secret base on operations or specialized mission for war efforts or other plans made by commanding officers. It honestly scares them just how right their intel always remains unchallenged, the only times mistakes are made if unknown elements that existed outside their reaches.
"Say just off topic, exactly what's wrong with that thing? It looks like some smug on it or blood in this case?" The guard curiously asked.
"I'm not sure, but high command say only Dagger and his new team are the only ones with classified information." the Scientist said making the guard frown at this information, most likely something high command is doing towards the shadows.
"Typical, you do as they say, and asked questions later. What makes this rookie special, I just read his files and he's just got promoted like that?!" The Guard said angry at their new recruit.
"Most likely he's being used for personal gain, bring someone new around with no experience and they are more used for their chess game. I feel sorry for that boy since he's also an loyalist." This made the Guard stood straight from hearing about the recruit.
"Oh that's just perfect, Loyalist of all people. There more crazy then all of us combine, speaking of crazy any word from the frontlines? Word is some of our forces are having hard times against some factions/races such as the Covenant?" The guard question.
"Not much, there are others I can see as troublesome. But like many they are no big deal, Covenant has the potential to grow into some organize government with many species as one nation. Their this one galaxy divided by many governments such as United Federation of Planets, Klingon Empire, Romulan Star Empire, Cardassian Union and more. What makes our job easy is the fact most of these species appear human which goes under D7 jurisdiction. Because of their near human appearance it makes it easy for our forces to divide and conquer at any given moment, plus our agents will cause destruction on galactic scale if necessary." Hearing this had the Guard nervous, when it came to D7 you would rather hide in some closet and never see daylight. Especially when humans are involve, which doesn't help since they are their primary targets in all operations. Guess he never thought of those who are another species with close human appearance would fit in their job description.
"Other then that, other governments or species aren't that big a deal. Many of them are galactic or universal governments, never worth much since we have always stood above like humanity should at their true potential." The scientist said.
"Aren't we suppose to be modified species with human origins?" The guard clarifying the statement.
"Yes, but we tell them we're humanity's protectors. Why else does mankind get hated so easily other for target blame for their false crimes we committed, always bring good business for war and domination." The two went quiet as the scientist continued to study the object in question.

Delta Force Base - Portal Sector
As Dagger went on past the docking bay, he soon reach their Dimensional Gate area. This place had enough room for at least 500 soldiers that enter, this is usually where they are transported to another location for their battles instead of using ships from spaces. If anything this allows them element of surprise and no resistance if the locations is away from battle at random places.
Dagger reach his destination and found the two people he wanted to see, first on had sunglass covering his eyes and appearing like some visor. His mouth his covered as part of his uniform he wanted personal design, the ears are covered by metal headsets making them hard to detach. His hair is messy in black brown color, with his uniform of black and red. Appearing about 13 or 15 by his height, his name himself Boom Box.
Right aside of him is another individual with some features. One is he's human appearing with arms as feathery wings with no hands, his legs are like talons sharp for grabbing and killing his prey. His eyes are all black with green color, the hair is long almost feathery as his wings like spikes. The uniform is shirtless with short pants, on his shoulders is some Raven with blue left eye and purple right eye. His name is Crow, ironic since he's actually friendly with a raven. About his late teens reaching his twenties, but none can be certain.
"Crow, Boom Box, glad you can make it." Dagger said with a smile. The three group hug smiling to finally be together again, Crow's pet raven went on Dagger's shoulder and nuzzled his head on the left showing affection.
"Aw, I miss you too. " Dagger pet the Raven's head, and used his other hand for some bird seeds he brought in his pockets. Raven saw this and jump on eating it's meal.
"She always enjoys seeing you, and doesn't mind about feeding free food every now and then. So you finally achieve your goal, didn't think it be this quick." Crow said to Dagger.
"To be fair it was only luck, found the fragment in some world where the town folks lived in Springfield. I took sometime to figure stuff out, yet I finally manage to find what I was searching." Dagger said, the Raven jump on his shoulder enjoying it's spot.
"So what's our first mission?" Crow asked their leader.
"First we need to get some reports from D7 then go find that kid who has those keys." Dagger told them.
"Wait, there's more then two?!" Crow said surprise by this.
"Yep, although I don't know how long this mission will last, but given we have no idea about the fragments, it's a safe bet we'll be working on this for sometime." Dagger gave his honest opinion.
"Eh, no worries. Still grateful you manage to pick us, that training is almost similar to hell." Crow gave his thanks with Boom Box nodding in agreement.
"No prob. Come on, we got some business to take care of." The all three(four if you include the Raven) left towards their next destination, once given orders or other mission they will head off for their new form team.
Bible Topic:
Subject: Everlasting Death
This is something everyone should understand. when our flesh dies, we have two options heaven for everlasting life, or hell for everlasting death. When I say everlasting death, I don't mean you get stab or killed and that be it. See everlasting death is when you are sent to hell and you will be tortured for all eternity with no rest and no comfort except for the things you had on this life. And believe me this everlasting death will always happen by every second, now imagine time no longer exist once you die and you experience your last moments ever second of that moment deaths, times all eternity dying in fiery waters with no salvation or hope.
Everlasting Death that involves Hell is really an uncomfortable subject, but needs to be spoken as warnings and reminders that this second option is available at any given moment of your life. Saying you have tomorrow is very arrogant for anyone to believe. Cause what happens if one moment you take an 5 minuet nap, and in 2 to 1 second your dead. If you never believe in Jesus, denied God all your life, and closed your ears to his words. Options two is already open for you and everyone on this planet. We are all born sinners and everlasting death is waiting for us. If Jesus hadn't done what he did on the Cross for our salvation, then what are you living for and why?
Folks I cannot stress this enough about what our lives without God will look like, and it will be the most horrible experience you will never escape or saved from, no superhero will help, no amount of time travel will save you, no powers will come to your aid, nothing that is in fiction will prevent what will happen. Even for that moment some fiction became reality, they are nothing. Cause by the end of our lives and our lives living, the only ones at fault for ending in hell, is the one you see on your mirror and every mirror in the bathroom and around the world.
We are at fault, you are at fault, cause by moving our bodies we make choices and what we think is our choice. God will know what's in our hearts, minds, and everything about us cause he created us. God knows you before your in the mother's womb, he knows your life choices, he knows all your sins even before now to future, and knows when you turn to him. That's the God some will deny and that's the God who is righteous in everything and will judge us on our end of our life to death. So if you want to say you don't need God or anything he does for you. Option two is waiting for us.
I won't point fingers or say who has will spend everlasting death, cause for all I know that will hang over my head, but I still try and follow what God asked of me. I'm not the greatest of Christians since I only started almost couple months, but I do try and seek God. Even when making mistakes, I need to seek God cause I want God in my life. If you feel God is talking to you or anyone reading this, repent by prayer and seek his wisdom. God will always provide and will meet every need of your life, you have to put faith and trust in him.
If any want to talk about bible topics just review and I will answer your review or private chats on PM. Love you all and God bless all.
If some of you notice the recent changes on each chapter about Bible Topics. It's something I like everyone to hear and know for better understanding or have some ideas about the bible and where to start. It's maybe confusing, but God works through many who are willing to seek him. And there will be times you are hurt by these words of truth. Don't worry that's God's way of saying I will make your pains into growth for maturity. Sometimes it hard, but if you listen to the holy spirited offer to you, everything starts to be clear. Faith is by far the most important thing for Christian and follow believers even at these times. So if anyone is going through trouble times, repent now and believe in Jesus Christ who died and rose again for each and everyone who is willing to receive him.
As for the story, most things will begin to change once they hit Narnia. Through there they will have to change their ways of fighting and some personality that will be great struggles. One of them is no use of magic, I will explain some point about why so bare with me on that subject. But other then that, the main purpose of this first act is to not only introduce you to characters, but also adversaries they will be facing and more later on. And believe me there are many, but decide to join together as different factions or governments. If some of you are curious about how will Mickey fight back if he doesn't have magic? Then just know he'll have to return to his old roots and discover his former gift he left behind. It's one that represents his character and one he long forgotten as cartoon being.
When it comes to heroes and villains stories, it tends to always favor heroes because no one wants bad things to happen. That's okay and all, but what part of always good thing happens is there room to grow. Because at the end, they maybe fictional characters, but you still have them interact like other people would on day to day bases. So when I see/read stories about this stuff even in fanfictions, I tend to avoid stories involving Ben 10, Naruto and others including some Kingdom Hearts stories. Cause I have some ideas about the author's approach and I will say no real struggle will happen if you always favor heroes in their suppose dark moments. Bleach is one of those stories victim to this trend from other stories. And if you just add Ben 10 in his current state including Alien X, I honestly don't care about those stories. Sorry it just doesn't mean much if heroes always going to win because of author's favoritism.
