Thechaosmaster: Hello everybody, and welcome to the long awaited chapter of DigiHearts 2 Hazards Journey! Now, I know people are wondering where it is I have been, well, I am not just an author. but a reader as well, I like to take my time to read some stories in my spare time, and that is what I've been doing. First I was reading a Yugioh GX fanfic, Jaden's Harem, yeah, I know, shocker, well, I once said that I…know what, just accept it and move on, well, after that, I began reading a Naruto story called Master of Jiongu, and then Rippiling Future. Now then this chapter is kind of slow, and is more of the Calm Before the Storm, hence, it's name.

Red: Yeah, this guy actually finished this chapter a few hours ago, but he never uploaded it.

Chaos: Only because I wasn't sure if I was going to write the whole battle of 1000 Heartless, as well as the DANCE WATER DANCE! segmant, but still, I'm here now. Now then, before I let you guys read this chapter I must say one thing, in this chapter you will see something that might, confuse you, lets just say that, a few years ago I read a Kingdom Hearts Fan fic called Remeber the tides and I got an idea from it, if you have read that story you might recgonise it but, if not, I'll tell you about it at the bottom. As always, Blossom, take it away!

Red: You got it, boss! Thechaosmaster does not own the rights to Digimon, Kingdmon Hearts, Final Fantasy, or Disney, he does own the custom made Keyblades, as well as Hazzardmon and the idea that Takato is the son of Ansem The Wise, everything else belongs to their respected owners. Please remeber to Read and Review.

Chapter 21: Calm Before The Storm

***Back with Takato and friends***

Takato looked over to Sora and the others and he asked, "You guys ready?"

Sora nodded and said, "Yeah. But I think that we should be asking you that. Are you okay, Takato? You seemed a little, stressed back there. You know, with that whole, 'Hazard Shut Down' thing. Everything All right?"

Takato didn't answer right away, and instead looked over to where Xion's Absent Silhouette once was with a thoughtful expression on his face, then he shook his head with eyes closed and sadly said, "Not really, Sora, not really." Takato looked up at Sora and softly said, "But I don't want to talk about it right now."

Sora looked over to his brother like figure in worry, after all, it's not every day that you see a young kid completely destroy a Heartless by just touching it with your bare hands, but he nodded, knowing that whatever it is that has Takato shaken up like this, he needs to overcome this in his own way.

The young prince looked over to Tron and said, "Tron, we're ready."

Tron nodded, then he said, "Any data you need from the DTD can be accessed directly through my User's terminal. I'll keep a dedicated access channel open for you." Sora got a thoughtful expression on his face while Takato was in his serious prince state, then Tron said, "I changed the password, so you won't have to worry about the MCP for a while."

Then Sora looked at Tron in confusion and he slowly asked, "Access channel?"

Takato rolled his eyes in annoyance, then he remembered something, "Oh!" He looked at Tron and said, "Hey, Tron, I want to ask you something."

Tron looked at the young prince and asked, "Yes?"

Takato looked down at his D-Ark and said, "I have this friend, she lost her Digimon partner a few years ago, and the Users in the Town believed that we could use dad's computer to bring him back. Do you know if something like that is possible?"

Tron placed his fist to his chin and said, "Well, I am not completely certain, but, from what you have told me earlier about you D-Arks, if you were to connect your friend's device to the computer, there's a possibility, but, I do not know."

Takato simply nodded in thanks, then Sora asked again, "Access channel?"

Tron simply laughed and said, "I knew you'd asked." Tron then knelt down to the terminal and said, "It's a very important link between our worlds. It's how we stay connected."

And then, white disks appeared underneath our heroes, and as they were leaving, Tron, with a smile, said, "You…my friends…are the new password."

Sora and Takato looked at one another, then they looked at Tron, and with a smile, they nodded, then Sora said, "Thanks Tron! Take care!"

"And be safe!" Replied Takato with a smile.

Tron smiled and nodded, then he said, "You too! And give my best to the Users! And, take this, Sora." Tron threw a small glowing blue disk at Sora, who caught it.

Everyone nodded, and soon, they vanished in beams of light, someone really should have said, 'Beam us up, Scotty!' But, unfortunately, no one did.

***Obtained Photon Debugger***

Drake and the others watched as the teleporter glowed to life and Takato, Donald, Sora, and Goofy, (A/N: Had to change it up somehow.) appeared before them.

Leon turned from the computer, which had 8-bit versions of the quartet on th screen, Sora walked up to Leon and said, "Well, that's that!"

Then Leon smirked and pointed to the screen, and he said, "Look."

Everyone watched as their 8-Bit sprites with large bold text saying, 'THANK YOU!' underneath them.

This caused Sora to slightly smile, then he said, "Tron…hang in there."

That was when Rika's voice called out from the side of our heroes, "Yeash, Airhead, relax, it's not like his world just got reset, you'll see him again."

Everyone turned towards the source of the voice, and saw Rika and Renamon standing in the doorway, with Rika having a slight smile on her face.

Takato looked at her, and noticed a change in her demeanor, especially in her smirk. It didn't hold any arrogance or sarcastic or even any disinterest in it, it looked like a genuine smile. He also noticed that her cloak was now missing, he then asked, "Rika? Is that really you?"

Rika nodded and waved her hands as if brushing aside his worries and said, "It sure is, Goggle-Prince." Rika said with a soft smile, but a knowing look.

Takato shook his head with a smile, then he said, "So, I'm guessing you passed your test, Rika?"

Rika turned to see Drake, Jeri, and Terriermon, all walking into the room, but she noticed that The King was missing, then she said, "Something like that."

Then Leon turned to the computer and asked, "So, where do we start?"

Sora turned to Leon and said, "I know! Let's access the DTD!"

Sora walked away from the computer and let Leon do his thing, then he said, "The King's checking the situation in town. He'll be back soon, so don't worry." Then Leon continued typing, but he looked up and said, "Hey, look, it's asking for a password."

Then Goofy said, "Oh, that's easy it's…"

"Sora!" To which Leon smirked and typed in the name.

Then the next name was, "Donald!"

And next was, "Goofy!"

And last but not least was, "Takato!"

But Leon found it to be funny, as he said, "That's…to the point."

As Leon was continuing type on the computer, it soon showed a loading symbol, and then, Leon said, "That did it. We're in."

Takato slowly started to smile, after so long, he finally might have a clue to his fathers whereabouts. Then Leon turned to Sora and said, "I have to go into town. Need to see what that last shakeup did."

Sora then asked, "You're not gonna check out the data? It wasn't exactly easy to get!"

Leon looked over to the screen, then he said, "I'm coming right back. Hey, Sora, Takato-why don't you guys get started on loading the data and copying it down?" Sora looked like he was completely lost, while Takato nodded, then Leon said, "It's just a few keystrokes. Easy, right?"

Sora simply looked as Leon left, while Takato nodded, then he said, "Don't worry, we'll have it handled, stay safe, Leon!" Leon simply waved his hand as he left.

Then Takato turned to Jeri and asked, "Hey, Jeri, while we're doing this, can I borrow your D-Ark?"

Jeri's eyes widened, and you could see her eyes begin to water, but she silently nodded, then she took out her Digivice and handed it to the young prince, who accepted it.

Takato then typed rapidly on his dad's computer, looking for something, then, he found it, an old access point that his farther had created, one that could, theoretically, bring objects from the virtual world into the real world.

Takato then took Jeri's D-Ark, and placed it on the counsel, then he took out a USB adapter, and placed one end into the D-Ark, and the other into the computer, then he softly said, "C'mon, dad, I know that you got something like this, please, let this work."

Everyone watched as Takato started typing away at his father's computer, until, a indicator appeared. "Huh?" Takato asked. He looked at the indicator and saw that it was actually a progress bar, then his eyes widened, and he looked towards the D-Ark, and saw that there was a spinning disk on it's screen, indicating that it too, was loading. Then a flash of electricity caught his eyes.

Takato looked and saw that one of the weird devices on the outside of the study was sparking to life, and he could see an outline of a bipedal lion resting in it, but only the outline, it looked like it was working, but it was going to take a long time for it to finish.

Takato smiled and turned to his old crush and said, "Jeri, it's working."

You could see Jeri starting to smile, as tears began to stream down her face, then she ran up to him and hugged him, and she said, "Thank you, Takato."

Takato returned the hug, while thinking, 'Maybe, maybe this is what I needed to fully let go of that incident, help Jeri reunite with her partner.'

Everyone smiled at the two old friends, then Sora ran to the computer and Donald asked, "Did it work?"

Then Sora turned and said, "Hey, these things take time, okay?" Sora then started typing on the computer, then he said, "Whoa…It's doing something!"

Rika rolled her eyes and said, "Yeah, thanks for pointing that out, Airhead."

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

Then Sora quickly said, "Riku and Kairi!" And typed their names into the computer, then Sora said, "Oh, I mean, Kairi Matsuda." Sora looked over to Takato, who was lightly smiling, almost as if he was thanking Sora for calling Kairi by her FULL name, by her FAMILY'S name.

But then the computer showed 'DATA ERROR' and Sora sadly said, "No way…" Sora put his hand to his head in disbelief.

Then Takato put his hand on Sora's shoulder and he said, "Even dad's computer doesn't know…Sorry, Sora."

But Sora brushed Takato off and walked away. Then Takato turned to the computer and said, "Well, dad, let's see what you do know."

Drake looked over to his father and he asked, "Hey, what are you doing, Takatomon?"

Takato looked to his son and said, "Well, I was just thinking, what if dad had any information about the Nobodies."

Goofy nodded and said, "I was just about to ask that same question."

Then Takato continued typing, and suddenly, a grey image of documents barring the sigil of the Nobodies appeared on the monitor, and Sora asked, "What's this?"

But then, another error message appeared and a female computerised voice said, "The data is corrupt."

Then Henry walked up and said, "Well, what about the Organization?" Then he began typing.

But once again, the computerised voice said, "The data is corrupt."

Sora glared at the computer and said, "Stupid computer!" And began hitting the computer rapidly.

This caused Takato to quickly grabbed Sora and said, "Sora! Stop right now! This is my last connection to my father! Don't. Break. It!"

Then, just as Takato was about to gut punch Sora, Drake said, "Takatomon, look!"

Takato stopped and looked at the monitor and saw the image of a young man, with blond hair, with golden eyes, and a small blond beard, while wearing a white lab coat, and a red scarf.

Seeing this man, caused Takato's eyes to widen and his jaw slowly dropped in shock, then he softly said, "Da, dad?"

Then Sora asked, "Huh? Whose this guy?"

Then King Mickey's voice spoke up from behind the group and said, "Welp, I see you got things workin'!"

Everyone turned and saw King Mickey, and they all responded with, "Oh. Your Majesty!"

Mickey placed his fingers to his lips, then he walked up and said, "Good goin'. The computer should tell us the things we need to know."

Then Goofy pointed towards the computer and said, "But it keeps on sayin' the data inside is all ker-skuffled."

And Sora folded his arms and said, "All we got is a picture of some guy we don't know."

Mickey looked at the image and asked, "Really? You don't know who this is? Not even you, Takato?"

Everyone looked at the young prince, expecting him to shake his head, but they saw him staring at the image with a lone tear in his eyes, then he said, "That's him, that's Ansem, the REAL Ansem, my father. Ansem The Wise. Otherwise known as, Ansem Matsuda."

Sora looked back at the image and said, "That's your dad, Goggle-Head?"

Takato nodded, then he turned to Mickey, and he asked, "Your Majesty, I need to know, who was that person who was saying he was dad? You know, that Seeker Of Darkness, Ansem?"

Mickey turned to Takato and he said, "Oh, that's right, I never got to explain myself. Come, let's talk in the study."

Everyone followed the King of Disney Castle into Ansem's study, which was now all cleaned up, no more broken glass, books weren't thrown across the floor, and the large broken beakers were gone.

Takato looked over to Henry and Jeri and asked, "You guys actually picked this place up while we were gone?"

Henry nodded with a smile and said, "Of course we did, Takato. We knew you wouldn't want this place to look all, messed up when you got back."

Takato smiled and said, "Thanks, you guys. You're the best." Takato turned to Mickey and asked, "So, about this faker, this is Xehanort, right?"

Mickey nodded and he said, "Well, the man in the picture is definitely the one who tried to take over Kingdom Hearts-(Roll Credits) the one you fellas defeated."

Rika nodded and said, "Right, the one who possessed Riku last year."

Mickey then said, "But, what you actually fought was his Heartless. Even though he said he was Ansem, he was lying."

Takato scoffed and said, "Yeah, I should know better than anyone who Ansem is, and he was not him." Then Takato looked at the picture of Xehanort and said, "But, still, to think that Xehanort is behind my father's disappearance."

Mickey closed his eyes and said, "Xehanort? Hmm, I feel like I know that name. I knew he was once Ansem's apprentice, but I can't help but to think that that name sounds familiar for a different reason."

That was when Henry said, "Because, that man, Xehanort, was behind a great travesty that happened ten years ago."

To which Takato said, "You may know him better as 'Master Xehanort' supposed 'friend' of Grandmaster Eraqus."

Mickey's eyes widened as he looked over to the picture and said, "Master Xehanort!?" Mickey then turned to the kids and asked, "How do you know Eraqus's name, kids?"

Then Takato, Rika and Henry pulled out their Wayfinders and Takato said, "Because, during one of our return trips here, Grandmaster Eraqus called to us from beyond the grave, with a request."

And Henry continued with, "He handed us these Wayfinders in order to connect with our Masters, his old students, and take part in a few trials."

To which Rika finished off with, "If we were to pass their trials, they would, in turn, pass down their Keyblades, to us."

Mickey's eyes widened, then he asked, "Terra, Aqua, Ventus. But they're…"

Then Henry outstretched his hand, and in a flash, he was holding the Ends Of The Earth, causing Mickey's eyes to widen in shock, then Henry said, "Still able to help us out."

Rika nodded, then she summoned Stormfall and said, "Yeah, and also, Aqua says hi."

Mickey was speechless, then he shook he head and said, "Wow, I wish I could do something for her, but, I…"

Rika put her hand on Mickey's shoulder, then she said, "I wanted to bring her back with me, but she said that she's needed in the Realm Of Darkness, for others who might lose their way."

Mickey nodded, then he said, "Now, back to this young Xehanort, fella." (A/N: No mickey, we're not there yet. Stick to the script.)

Then Goofy asked, "But, Now I wonder, if this was Xehanort, what happened to the real Ansem?"

Takato looked at the painting, then he said, "His former apprentices overthrew him. What they did, I do not know, but I know that if I see Braig, Dilan, Isa, or even Lea, I am getting answers." Takato slightly opened his hand, and summoned Missing Ache, surprising everyone, for they knew that he didn't have that before then he said, "I owe it to my father."

Rika turned to Takato and asked, "Yo, where'd you get that, Goggles? Did you end up taking your trial as well?"

Takato shook his head and said, "No, let's just say that, a ghost from the past of my other half appeared and, leave it at that. Okay?"

Rika wanted to know more, but she saw the look in his eyes, the pain and sadness that was in them surprised her, but she respected Takato enough not to push him, so she silently nodded.

Mickey looked over to the young prince in sadness, 'Ansem was my best friend, but he was Takato's father. Who knows how he is feeling right now.'

Then Mickey turned to where Ansem's computer room is, then he said, "Ansem the Wise should know all about Organization XIII's plans, and what's been happening to the worlds." Everyone looked at the mouse king as he said, "I'm pretty sure he'll give us some help."

Mickey then turned to Takato and said, "You know, I came close to finding him once…"

That was when Goofy began thinking, but this caused Sora to exclaim, "Don't tell me there's more! I'm lost enough as it is! From lost masters, (Sora, we're not there yet. Slow your roll.) to old guys being young, and everything else that's been happening! What else could there be?"

Then Goofy said, "Well, let's see, some feller named Ansem, who wasn't really Ansem, who was in fact a feller named Xehanort, became a Heartless. Does that mean that a Nobody got created when that happened, too?"

Mickey nodded and he said, "Yep! And that Nobody is the leader of the Organization."

This caused Sora, Donald, and Goofy to jump back and exclaim, "Whaaaaat?"

Drake, Terriermon, and Renamon rolled their eyes and said, "Figures."

And Takato clenched his fists, then he said, "If he is, then I will find him, and take him down!" Takato's eyes changed to that of the Digital Hazard, and began glowing.

No one decided to calm him down, mostly because they were kind of scared when the Digital Hazard began spinning ever so slowly in Takato's eyes, making it look like a certain cursed bloodline.

Mickey then said, "I have met Xehanort once before, and I've seen the leader of Organization XIII, too. Hmm, kind felt like bein' around the same fella. Well, I guess they ARE the same fella."

Then Sora asked, "So, if this Xehanort was once an apprentice to Ansem the Wise, where did Xehanort and the others go?"

Takato looked up at the ceiling and said, "My dad had a total of five apprentices, not counting Xehanort. Aeleus, Braig, Even, Ienzo, and Dilan. They were apprentices before Xehanort arrived. Then, not long after Xehanort became an apprentice, Lea and Isa joined as well, but what happened to them, I don't know."

Then Rika said, "Well, they must have become Nobodies some time after Lea and Isa joined, because those eight became members of Organization XIII."

Sora looked confused, then he asked, "How do you know that they became Nobodies?"

Takato looked over to Sora and said, "There is a lot you don't remember, Sora. But I won't explain it to you yet, mostly because now is not the time to do so."

Sora nodded, then he glared at Xehanort's painting and said, "You…You started all of this! Because of you, Riku and Kairi…" That was when Sora remembered something and turned to Mickey, Rika, and Henry, and he asked, "Your Majesty, Rika, Henry, do any of you know where Riku is?"

Mickey didn't turn to Sora, but he said, "He's…" Mickey slumped down and he said, "I'm sorry. I can't help."

Sora then turned to Rika and Henry and asked, "What about you two?"

Rika glanced at Sora and said, "Sorry, we haven't seen him in a while. Yes, he's out of the Real Of Darkness, and yes, we do know how he is. Where he is, we don't really know, but even if we did, we wouldn't tell you. We promised to not tell you WHERE he is."

Sora then asked, "But, why? Why can't you…"

Rika then glared at Sora and said, "Look, Airhead, I don't make promises to people to keep their secrets, but Riku asked us not to spill, and so, we won't."

Henry simply gave a silent nod as he said, "Riku is our friend too, but we have to honor his request. Don't pester us, or the King, just know that Riku is doing his own thing to protect the worlds, okay?"

Sora nodded in understanding, while Takato knew they were hiding something big, he knew that they just wanted to help Riku out. Then Sora turned to Mickey and asked, "What about Kairi? Organization XIII might've kidnapped her."

Mickey turned to face Sora and he said, "Oh, no!" Mickey turned to the massive painting, then he said, "Sora, Takato, everyone." He then turned to the team and said, "I was plannin' to go get help from Ansem the Wise. But-now I know I forgot the most important thing. Helping others should always come before asking others for help."

Takato nodded and said, "Agreed. Always help others before asking for help."

Mickey nodded and said, "Correct. We're safe and sound-and free to choose! So there's no reason we shouldn't choose to help our friends." Everyone nodded in agreement as Mickey said, "Let's look for Riku and Kairi together."

That was when the whole castle began shaking, then Terriermon asked, "Whoa! What's happening? Earthquake?"

Takato and Sora both exclaimed, "Outside!"

Mickey then glared and in a serious tone, he said, "Sounds like we gotta start by helpin' out here!" Mickey then ran outside of the room.

Takato nodded then he looked at the Missing Ache and he closed his eyes and thought, 'For my father, for my sister, for Xion, Xak, Lea, my friends, I won't let my home be destroyed.' Takato then opened his eyes in a glare, then he said, "Team, time to move out!"

Jeri looked over to Takato and asked, "But what about…"

Takato looked over to his old crush and said, "If something happens to the town, Jeri, we could lose our only chance to bring Leomon back! Duty before pleasure, Jeri."

Jeri nodded, then she unsheathed her sword and said, "Let's go!"

Then everyone left the study, but no one bothered to check back in on the computer in the study, as Leomon's pod gave off a small dark aura, before fading away.

Meanwhile, outside of the castle, near the Bailey, a group of Heartless had just broken down a walled off section of pipes from the other side, and began heading into town.

Out of the study was Maleficent and Pete and they saw that Heartless were fighting against the Nobodies, there were Dusks, as well as a new type, that were pink and looked like they were wearing some kind of regal outfit, these were called 'Dancers' but the strangest thing was, the five dancers were fighting against the Dusks, as well as the Heartless.

One looked kind of like a Samurai Nobody, but and needle like feet, that the Heartless stood on, blocky hands, and a large sword in it's left hand, this was called an 'Armored Knight' while the other was a Surveillance Robot.

Then Maleficent pointed forward and said, "Hear me, my Heartless! Attack the white husks! Sweep them away!"

But Pete actually seemed to have grown a brain, or at least, part of one as he asked, "What, are you nuts? We're never gonna win! I don't know about you, but I'm outta here, sister!" And just like that, the 'Mighty Pete', ran away like a scaredy cat, leaving an annoyed Maleficent behind.

Said witch looked behind her and said, "You pathetic coward!" But the witch looked in front of her and saw that her Heartless were destroyed, but they did managed to destroy three of the Dancers, leaving only three Dusks and two Dancers.

Maleficent gave the Nobodies an annoyed glare, then she noticed that Takato and his friends had arrived, Maleficent decided to follow her idiotic minions move, and left. But she did say, "Heartless! Leave the white ones. Turn your attention to Sora and his friends!"

Takato glared as the Heartless turned to them, and Goofy said, "Uh-oh!"

Then, just as the Heartless and Nobodies charged at them, the last two Dancer Nobodies stood by Takato's side, who glanced at them and asked, "What the…?"

Then one of the Dancers 'spoke' to Takato, in a young feminine voice, almost like a kids voice, spoke, "Forgive us, we are trying to help, Takato."

Sora and Takato jumped slightly, but the others didn't, then the other Dancer, this one, sounded slightly older, said, "Our commander has ordered us to help you and your friends during this time."

Then one of the Heartless charged, only to receive a spin kick from one of the Dancers, then Takato asked, "Your commander, his name is Axel, isn't it?"

The first Dancer simply replied with, "Yes. He wishes to apologize, but we must first deal with these Heartless."

Takato nodded, then he turned to his friends and said, "Guys, attack the Heartless and the Dusks, but leave the Dancers!"

Rika, turned to Takato and asked, "And why should we, Goggle-Head?" Rika then cut down a Heartless with her Master's Keyblade, returning it to the shadows.

Takato then said, "Just trust me, I'll explain later!" Takato, along with his friends, as well as the two Dancers began destroying the Heartless and Nobodies that appeared, then only the Dancers remained.

But before any answers could be given, the fairies from before showed up, and the one in blue asked, "Where's Maleficent?"

To which Sora said, "Looks like she ran away."

Then the one in orange said, "Well, that was PRET-ty lame of her."

Then the fairy in black said, "I guess we picked the wrong side." Then the three turned to one another to discuss something.

Then Takato and the Tamers turned to the two Dancers and asked, "Now then, why are you helping us?"

Then one bowed respectfully, surprising the Tamers at how, human it seemed, then it said, "I know that it is hard to believe, but some Nobodies, even if we don't retain our human forms, do, in fact, retain our memories of our pasts."

Takato nodded, then Rika asked, "Uh, Goggles, care to explain what's going on? And why are you talking to the Nobodies and acting like they're talking back?"

Sora turned and said, "But, Rika, she is talking."

Rika raised an eyebrow, and she said, "Yeah, sure."

Takato looked at the Dancers and said, "Let me guess, they can't hear you?"

The Dancer nodded and said, "Correct, only those who have ties to Nobodies can hear our voices."

Takato then asked the one question that was on his mind, "What happened to Kairi?"

The Dancer looked down, almost as if it, she, they, whatever, she was sad, then she said, "We were instructed to protect her, and watch over her until our Commander returned, but then, Saïx arrived with his Berzerkers, and they destroyed several of us, and then he took Kairi to the Organization's fortress, back in their home world."

Takato tightened his fists in anger, but not at the Dancers, but at the knowledge of the fact that it was Isa who took his sister. He then turned to the Dancers and asked, "Just who were you, before you turned into Nobodies?"

The first Dancer was surprised at the question, but she understood the reasoning behind it, she then sighed and said, "I was once known as a Lisa Simpson, and I was once a genius in the family of, well, let's just say that my family was, dysfunctional. Anyways, when the Heartless attacked my home, I was the only one who had apparently survived, and I woke up in a world known as Traverse Town, then I remember darkness, and then the next thing I know, I'm a Dancer Nobody."

Takato was surprised, no not surprised, shocked beyond belief, 'To think, that Nobodies actually retain their original personality. Did you know this, Xak?'

Xak didn't say anything for a while, then he said, "In all honesty, I didn't, but I knew that the lesser Nobodies could speak, as I have had conversations with them before."

Takato gave a mental nod, then he asked, "What about your friend, Lisa?"

The Nobody, now being called Lisa turned to her friend and said, "Her name was Meg Griffin, she came from the same world I did, but she doesn't speak much. But I do see her as one of my friends."

Then Sora asked, "Okay, I understand that this is important and all, but what does this have to do anything?"

Meg turned and said, "Axel has asked us to deliver a message. He said that and I quote, 'You can keep on running, but I will always be there to bring you back.' I think he was just saying something from the past, but he said that you two, or at least Takato would understand it."

"Heh, he always did say that he keeps his promises." Xak said with a laugh.

Takato then mentally asked, 'Something worth sharing, Xak?'

Xak smiled and said, "It was back when me, Roxas, and…Xion, started to run from our 'duites' at the Organization, I see it as him upholding that little promise, saying that, even if we ran into the afterlife, he would probably join in after us, just to bring us back, only to send us back himself."

Takato lightly chuckled, then he turned to the two Nobodies and said, "Message has been received. Now what? What are you two going to do now?"

Lisa then said, "At the moment, we need to report back to Axel, but don't worry, you'll always have friends in us Dancers. We won't attack you, unless ordered to uphold an image."

Sora and Takato nodded, then Sora said, "Well, be safe, and, tell Axel that, I forgive him for Kairi."

Takato nodded and said, "Same here, tell him that, friends don't abandon friends. Got it memorized?"

Lisa lightly chuckled and said, "I'm certain that will make him laugh, well, we got to go. C'mon, Meg!"

Meg nodded then the two vanished in sparks of white electricity. Takato turned to Rika, who was giving him a questioning stare, then he said, "Long story short, we have an inside group of Nobodies on our side now."

Rika looked at him and asked, "Just how can you understand the Nobodies, Goggle-Head?"

Takato shrugged and said, "No clue. So, what did those fairies want?"

Henry said, "Nothing really, just changing sides and whatnot."

Takato nodded, then he said, "Right. C'mon, time to head out!"

Everyone nodded then ran outside, only to be stopped by three Dusks, Sora got his Oathkeeper ready and said, "We don't have time for you!" Then the classic trio destroyed the Nobodies with a single strike, and they continued moving.

Then as everyone ran to the top of the stairs, Takato sensed a dark presence approaching them, then in a burst of energy, a new figure appeared before them. The thing that stood out was the large black angle wing on his right shoulder, and the massive Zanbatō at his side, and when I say massive Zanbatō, I mean MASSIVE! It looked almost five feet long.

Takato summoned both of his Keyblades, Bonds Of Hazard and his ZVR, then he took notice of the wing and the silver hair and the sword, then he said, "Silver hair, and a large black wing, and carries a large sword, you must be Sephiroth."

Then Goofy asked, "Ain't Sephiroth the one who's supposed to be the dark part of Cloud's Heart?"

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

Then Sora took a fighting stance and asked, "Just what are you gonna do to him?"

To which Sephiroth simply responded with, "Nothing. Cloud is the one who hungers for darkness." In a monotone voice.

Rika scoffed and said, "Yeah, right. Cloud said he's got a score to settle with you."

Sephiroth nodded and said, "I see…He wants to meet me again." Sephiroth then turned and started to walk away, but then he said, "Then I shall give him what he wants. That last bit of light is always the hardest to snuff out." Then he started to fly, then he vanished in an orb of dark light.

That was when the Gullwings flew by and Sora asked, "Huh?"

Goofy looked to his right and said, "They came from that hole over there."

Everyone looked up at the hole that the Gullwings came from, then Sora asked, "I don't remember that being there before. I wonder where it leads."

Takato then said, "We don't have time for that now! We have to go after the King!"

Everyone nodded, then they charged down the Restoration Sight, to see Leon and Aerith surrounded by Armored Knights, then Sora and Takato said, "We'll help!"

But Leon simply took down one Heartless while Aerith turned to them and saw something, then she said, "Kids! Behind you!"

Just then, more Dancers appeared behind them, then a voice said, "Axel has asked us to test you strength, let's see how you handle yourselves."

Then the Dancers charged at our heroes, but, they expected this to be a quick fight, Terriermon rushed in and said, "Now's the time for Terriermon to show everyone how 'awsome' he is!"

But he was instead grabbed by one of the Dancers and thrown around like a doll, leaving everyone sweatdropping, then Rika said, "So much for that."

Then everyone charged in, ready to fight the Nobodies, Sora clashed with one, but every swing that he made, was dodged by the grace of the Dancer, making it harder and harder to hit. But with a nod from both Donald and Goofy, the trio stood next to one another, and fistpumped and Sora entered his 'Master Form' and started unleashing more and more deadly combos.

Meanwhile Rika was facing off against some Armored Knights that had appeared, and with a grace of her own, she cleaned out shop, so to speak, and it wasn't long before all the enemies were gone.

Everyone turned to where Leon was, and saw that Yuffie was running behind him, then he called out, "The King's in the Bailey. You better head over there!"

Sora nodded and said, "Got it!"

Takato nodded and said, "We're on our way!" Then Leon turned and ran away, with everyone else following right behind him.

As everyone ran into the Bailey, Takato saw how destroyed it was, he clenched his fists tightly, then he said, "Organization XIII is going to pay for this!"

Sora then looked out to Villain's Vail, then he said, "Takato, that way!"

Said Goggle-Head looked over and saw the old castle, then he said, "Time to finish this!"

Everyone ran to the edge of the cliff, and Sora looked out at the distance and said, "Whoa…"

In fact, everyone was shocked at what they had saw. Coming directly from the old castle, was an army of Heartless, of all shapes and sizes, there were Surveillance Robots, Armored Knights, Air Pirates, Large Bodies, even a few Heartless that they have faced in the past, like Wyverns, and Behemoths.

Takato even could have sworn that he saw a Stealth Sneak or two in the swarm. There must have been thousands, or even tens of thousands of Heartless coming right for the town.

Everyone noticed that the Restoration Committee was doing their part in fighting back the hoard, with Yuffie throwing her shuriken at a few Wyverns, destroying them, but she was getting exhausted.

That was when Aerith arrived and casted a Curaga on her, bringing her back up to full strength. Yuffie got up on one knee and shook her head, she then turned to Aerith with a smile and said, "Thanks." Then she told Aerith her plan, and the young maiden agreed, then the two girls charged in at the Heartless.

The girls weren't the only ones fighting, however, even the new alien, Stitch was helping out, with four arms, and each one had yellow blasters in them, he was shooting at each and every Heartless he saw, and when one tried to attack him, he jumped up, and fired all four blasters as the Heartless, and destroyed it.

Meanwhile, one of the Gullwings, Paine, led a Heartless over to a cliff, then when she was about to be attacked, she jumped up, bounce sprung from the Heartless's back, then Yuna and Rikku, the last two fairies, gave the Heartless a twin kick over the edge. Then Yuna and Rikku flew up and gave each other a double high five.

But the trio of treasure fanatics had to high tail it out of there, when more Heartless then they could handle started chasing them.

Meanwhile Cloud and Leon were standing back to back with each other, each one facing a swarm of Heartless, then Leon asked, "Think you can handle this many?"

To which Cloud responded with, "Well…Might be tough if one more shows up." But you could see the smirk on his face, almost as if he wanted more to fight.

Then Leon smirked as well and then he said, "Hm. Then that'll have to be the one I take care of."

Then Cloud asked in a false surprised tone, "What, you're fighting too?" Then the two swordsmen charged forward, attacking their own swarm of Heartless.

But Cloud was led to a small clearing, currently surrounded by a swarm of Heartless, but just when it seemed like he was toast, someone cut through the Heartless, Cloud looked up to see, "Sephiroth!" Cloud readied his Buster Sword, but the One Winged Angle simply walked over to the solider.

Sephiroth then raised his massive sword and said, "I understand that you've been looking for me."

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

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

Cloud simply glared at Seph, and said, "Shut up!" Anger rolling off of him.

Seph wasn't even phased, he simply said, "Face it-you turn your back on the present and live in the past. Because the light of the present is too much!"

"You don't know me!" Exclaimed Cloud.

That was when a women's voice called out, "Cloud!" Cloud turned to the source of the voice, only to be blinded by light for a microsecond.

Then Sephiroth smiled and said, "I know. Because…I am you." Then, the One winged Angel vanished in a dark aura.

Cloud angrily looked around for his dark half, but grew frustrated when he couldn't find him. Cloud then turned and ran off, but that was when Tiffa showed up, calling out his name. "Cloud! Wait!"

But she was halted by more Heartless. So she took up a fighting stance and back fisted a Heartless that had tried to attack her from behind, then she proceeded to wreak the Heartless around her without even breaking a sweat.

Takato and Sora, as well as everyone else could see what was happening outside of the town, then Sora said, "Leon, everybody-hang in there!"

Takato nodded and summoned his Missing Ache and said, "We're coming."

Then, everyone charged through the new opening, but were stopped by Mickey, who outstretched his hands, halting our heroes. Then Mickey said, "Okay, fellas, you've gotta go find Riku and Kairi!"

"But Leon and the others are friends too!" Exclaimed Sora.

And Takato and the others nodded in agreement, then Takato said, "Plus, these are MY people that are protecting the town, as the prince, it is MY duty to help protect them!"

But Mickey attempted to sooth their worry by saying, "Don't worry. There's already lotsa help here." Mickey then turned to the group of teens and said, "We'll take care of this fight."

Then Sora stated, "But…we promised Leon!" Then Sora looked down in defeat.

Meanwhile, Takato shared a knowing look with his friends, to which, they all nodded in agreement. Then Mickey said, "Donald! Goofy! Rika! Henry! Take Sora, Takato and your friends and get goin'!"

Then Sora and Takato softly said, "Riku, Kairi…give us a little time, okay?"

Seeing the two quote unquote 'Leaders' of their group looking down like that, made the four friends decide that, for once, they will follow their Hearts, instead of orders. They all looked at one another, and nodded.

Then Donald called out, "Your Majesty!"

"We understand. We'll go search for Riku and Kairi!" Goofy exclaimed.

This caused Sora and Takato to look at their friends, but Rika slapped them both on the shoulders and said, "Yeah, count on us! We'll make sure Airhead and Prince-Goggles are safe!" Rika then whispered, "Just follow our lead."

Neither boy said anything as Mickey said, "Right. Watch for danger!"

Then Henry said, "You be careful, too!"

Then Sora, doing his best at acting, turned to Donald and said, "Wait, you guys!"

To which Takato placed his hand on Sora's shoulder and said, "Sora, do as you're told! That is an order! Do the right thing!" And Takato finished off with a smile.

To which Goofy said, "You're comin' with us whether ya want to or not!"

"C'mon on, you guys! Ya gotta be good!" Donald stated.

Sora smiled a knowing smile and said, "Gotcha."

Then Takato asked, "We then, what do you guys say we skedaddle?"

Then Sora mouthed, 'Thank you' then everyone turned to the Great Maw and Donald said, "Let's go!"

Then Terriermon said, "Avengers Assemble!" Then he struck a pose.

Takato turned to Terriermon and asked, "Where'd that come from?"

Terriermon shrugged and said, "I don't really know. But I feel like it works."

Takato smiled and said, "Well, you heard the bunny. Charge!" Then everyone started running, or in Drake's case, flying past Mickey, shocking him.

Then Takato said, "Sorry, Your Majesty, but I've got a Kingdom to protect!"

Mickey ran up to look over at the group of teens and anamorphic creatures, then Sora said, "We're sorry, Your Majesty!" Then he jumped off the cliff.

Takato and the Tamers, as well as their Digimon politely bowed, then Takato said, "We have to do what we have to do." Then the Tamers and their Digimon jumped down the cliff.

And Donald and Goofy gave their king a salute and Goofy said, "Hope you can forgive us!" Then they jumped down as well.

Mickey sighed in defeat, but even he knew that these kids wouldn't stop, even if he told them. Then he sadly smiled.

***Meanwhile***

Back in Ansem's study, a security camera had caught the sight of a cloaked man walking up to the computers, the man noticed the D-Ark on the console, as well as the brown lion that was being constructed in one of the chambers, as well as the fact that the passage way to the Chamber of Repose was open. That was when he noticed the camera and destroyed it. Then he looked back at the corridor.

'Hm, it looks like those kids are discovering things they shouldn't know about. How, annoying.' The cloaked man thought to himself. "No matter, soon, very soon, everything that I have planed will come to fruition. But…I think that I should teach these kids a lesson for going through other peoples things."

Then the cloaked figure began typing away at the computer, then he inserted a grey and white disk into the console and typed in a few words, then he said, "Time to see what has happened." The man then watched what had happened earlier today.

"Hmm." The man had said, "It seems like things are getting very interested now." The man then looked back to the Digivice and the Digimon being created, then he said, "Well then, let us see how this Jeri handles her own 'partner' shall we?"

He then waved his hand over the Digivice, and encased it with darkness, but the dark aura quickly vanished, leaving nothing, not even a trace.

Then the man started walking down the long corridor, as he did so, he began to remember the conversation he had with Ansem about this chamber and his experiments. "Master Ansem. Regarding the experiment I presented the other day…With your permission, I'd like to proceed-"

To which another voice exclaimed, "I forbid it! Forget this talk of doors, and the heart of all worlds. That place must not be defiled!"

Then the young man said, "But Master Ansem! I've been thinking…"

That was when Master Ansem said, "Xehanort…Those thoughts are best forgotten."

Then the cloaked man continued walking down the same path the Rika and Renamon once walked down, and entered the same chamber that they have entered, and sat down in the chair in the middle of the room, looking at Master Aqua's old armor, but noticing that her Keyblade was missing. But the figure didn't notice two Dancer Nobodies hiding in the shadows.

"Hmm, it looks like things are starting to get interesting, am I right?" The cloaked figure turned to see a young man with silver hair and orange, almost golden colored eyes looking back at him.

Then the young man said, "So it appears that Takato and his friends are obtaining their masters Keyblades, but it doesn't matter, all will fall into place very soon."

The cloaked figure then said, "Have you already begun searching for proper, 'replacements' yet?"

To which the young man simply chuckled and said, "I have a few ideas, but the time is too early. How close to you at completing your objective, Xemnas?"

The cloaked figure, now called 'Xemnas' then stated, "With the added help of Takato and his friends, I'd say only a few more Hearts and we shall be ready."

The young man nodded, then he said, "Good, but you can't let your guard down, right now you hold Takato's sister in your hands. Play with his heart, same with Sora. If pushed in the right direction, we could once more, gain control over Roxas and Xak." The young man stated.

This caused the two Dancers to look at one another and silently nod.

Then Xemnas said in an emotionless voice, "Even if I fall, it will mean very little, as what is written cannot be changed."

The young man nodded and said, "'And on that fated land shall darkness prevail and light expire."

Then the two Dancers decided that now was the time to leave, leaving Xemnas and the mysterious young man to plan for their destiny.

But the two men both knew they were being spied on, then the young man asked, "Why is it that you haven't disposed of Axel and his 'Dancers' yet, Xemnas?"

Xemnas simply replied with, "For my own amusement, let him think that is spying on us, when in reality, I am only letting him know what I want him to know. But, what about you? Have you found the other chamber, yet, Xehanort?"

Thechaosmaster: Hehehe, I might be evil. Now then, I bet the biggest question you readers have is about Meg and Lisa, well, in Remember the Tides, I remember, vaugely that Xion could comunicate with Roxas' Samurai, who could Talk to Xion, so I thought, well, why the hell not? And as for the two 'Dancers' being Lisa Simpson and Meg Griffin, I wanted to have two well known characters be Nobodies, but don't worry, they will be themselves at the end of this story, that is, if I don't do a Family Guy classic and just destroy Meg, but I'm not going to, think of this as a small, redemption of her characte.

Red: Yeah, also, if any of you knows of any good Kingdom Hearts stories, tell us, that way we could get some insperation for this one.

Chaos: Right, and I must know, am I really the first writer to have the Tamers being the center of Kingdom Hearts? Because if so, I am honored to be doing it. Also, to those who have taken insperation for this story, don't give up, just let your heart be your guiding key. And also, about the Avengers Assemble, thing, I really couldn't resist, well, R&R.

Red: We'll be seeing you anoter time. Remeber to leave your reviews. Bye-bye!

CHAOS CONTROL!
