The new world will be based on a certain 80s anime series that involves robots. I think it's fitting to replace an 80s movie like Tron with an 80s anime series. Much like how I made a ton of Shonen anime references in the Demon World, there will be a lot of Super Robot anime references in the new world.
Chapter 28: Keyblade Master in Disguise Part 1
Sora and the gang returns to Hollow Bastion, where they encountered some Heartless Soldiers. Before they could fight, the Heartless disappeared.
Plucky: That was weird.
Sora: Do you think...
Dizzy: Look like more Heartless now.
They then saw some Dusks flying by too.
Plucky: Looks like there's Nobodies here too.
Sora: Let's go check in with everyone.
Dizzy: Dizzy think they with Mumbo.
The trio returns to the marketplace, where they met up with the Warner siblings.
Sora: Hey, guys!
Yakko: Sora! Plucky! Dizzy! Long time no see!
Sora: Have you seen the Heartless and Nobodies.
Wakko: They are only causing some minor troubles for now.
Dot: Thankfully, Leon and the others are taking care of them.
Sora: We were gonna go see Leon for a minute.
Yakko: OK! See you all later! Come visit our shops again!
The trio made their way to Gogo's ice cream shop, where they met up with Gogo again.
Gogo: Darn! I was so close to recreating the flavor too...
He turns to see Sora and the gang.
Gogo: Hello, Sora! What brings you here?
Sora: We came to see Leon and the others. Do you know where they are?
Gogo: Leon and his friends are in the borough. They're in Mumbo's House.
Sora: OK! See you later, Gogo!
The trio were about to enter the borough, when they saw a familiar face right next to Gogo's shop. He is a man with blonde spiky hair and wears a black sleeveless shirt, black gloves, and black pants, with black cloths around his left arm and pants.
Sora: Cloud!
Cloud looks up to see Sora and the gang.
Plucky: What are you doing?
Cloud: I'll get him. This time, we'll settle it. Me and the one who embodies all the darkness in me.
Plucky: I though you look kinda different, Cloud.
Cloud: If I do, it's his fault.
Sora: Whose?
Cloud: Sephiroth. Tell me if you see him.
Sora: OK. What does he look like again?
Cloud: He has long silver hair and carries a long sword.
Sora: Now I remember. Well, good to see you again, Cloud.
Cloud: Be careful. He'll mess with your head, makes you think darkness is the only way.
?: Is something wrong?
Everyone turns to see Aerith. She walks up to them.
Cloud: It's nothing. I don't want you involved.
Aerith stood there, thinking for a moment, then she spoke up.
Aerith: You mean you don't want me there when you go away again?
Cloud: I just...Listen, even if I go away, I'll come back.
Aerith: Do you mean it?
Cloud: Yeah...
Aerith: You don't look so sure. Well, I understand. Go...get things settled. No matter how far away you are...once you find your light...I'm sure it will lead you back here again. Right?
Cloud: I suppose.
Aerith: So I'll stay here...and cheer for you. OK, Cloud?
Cloud: OK.
He then walks down to the borough.
Aerith: I wonder if he'll be OK.
Sora: He'll be fine. I'm sure there's some light in him somewhere.
Aerith: You're right.
Sora and the gang walks down to the borough, where they encountered Heartless, including a new type called Bookmasters. They are yellow mage-like Heartless carrying big books. Plucky tried casting Fira on them, but his magic does no damage to them. Sora took them out with his Keyblade. After finishing off the Heartless, they went inside Mumbo's House, where Yuffie was watching Cid typing on his computer. The two of them saw Sora enter the house.
Cid: Hey, fellas. You're just in time. Got some good news for ya. So get yerselves over to Leon.
Sora: What kind of news?
Yuffie: We found the computer Ansem was using.
Plucky: Oh boy!
Cid: Yep. Should be able to get all kinds of info on the Heartless and the Organization.
Sora: And maybe something on the dark realm too? It looks like that's where Riku and Kairi are.
Plucky: And Buster too.
Cid: Go see for yerselves!
Yuffie: It can't hurt!
Sora: What do you mean?
Cid: Nothin. Just get to the computer room through the castle postern. Watch your step!
The trio left Mumbo's house and ran all the way to the bailey. They were walking through the bailey, when they hear a voice.
?: Excuse me. Are you with the Restoration Committee?
Sora turns around, only to find nobody. Suddenly, three small fairies flew up. They are about the same size as Elder-Ham, Sweetie, and Sneezer. One has brown hair, wears a white top, and blue shorts with a clove down on her left leg. One has blonde messy hair, wears a yellow midriff, white cloths around her arms, orange shorts, and white long socks. The last one has short gray hair, has bat-like wings, wears a black midriff, black gloves, black shorts, and black long socks.
Sora: Who are you?
Fairy 1: I'm Yuna.
Fairy 2: I'm Rikku.
Fairy 3: I'm Paine.
Yuna, Rikku, & Paine: We are the Gullwings.
Sora, Plucky, & Dizzy: The Gullwings?
Yuna: So what's Leon's gang up to?
Sora: They've got stuff to do by the castle postern.
Rikku: Scoop!
Paine: Let's report.
Plucky: To who?
Yuna: Our leader, of course!
Rikku: Yeah, you know, Gan-
Before Rikku could say the name, Paine covers her mouth. As Rikku tried to struggle her way out, Sora and the gang looks at her weird.
Paine: Don't mind her. I assure you. We come in peace.
Rikku nods her head.
Yuna: You're kidding...
Paine lets go of Rikku, as Rikku gasps for air.
Paine: Problem? OK, fine. You do the talking.
Paine teleports away. Yuna bows to Sora and the gang.
Yuna: So sorry about this!
Yuna teleports away too, followed by Rikku, who giggles, before she teleports away.
Sora: That was weird.
Before the trio could leave the bailey, they were attacked by a new type of Heartless called Armor Knights. They are knight-like Heartless wearing gray armor and wielding swords. Sora and the gang easily disposed of them and moved on. Along the way, they encountered another type of Heartless called Morning Stars. They are Heartless shaped like flails. They spin their bodies around with two flail-like arms, doing some damage to the trio, but the security system protects them from the Heartless. After finishing off the Heartless, they made it to the postern of the castle.
Sora: LEON! Where are you?
?:Over here!
The trio turns to see Aerith, waving at them. The trio walks up to her.
Sora: Have you guys found Ansem's computer?
Aerith: Yes. The King is very interested in it.
Plucky: Buster?
Aerith: He's with Leon.
Plucky: Alright! We get to see Buster!
Dizzy: HOORAY!
Sora: What about Riku? Is he with them?
Aerith shook her head no. Sora looks down in disappointment.
Sora: Well, at least I can ask Buster about him. And that computer might be able to tell us about something.
Aerith: Good idea. They're right through there.
She points to the dark area, which leads to another room.
Sora: OK. Thanks, Aerith.
The trio enters the door which takes them to the corridor of the castle. Unknown to the trio, six figures were watching them from the ceiling, then they flew away. The trio walks through the hallway, where they encountered a new type of Heartless called Surveillance Robots. They are brown robot-like heartless. Sora grabs one of them and it fires a blue energy beam around the room, destroying other Heartless. The trio made their way through the corridor, fighting Heartless along the way, until they reach a new room. The room has book has bookshelves all over the place, some broken glass, and a picture of a familiar gray hair man.
Sora: Ansem...
The trio walks up to the picture of Ansem.
Dizzy: Maybe this is Ansem's room.
Plucky looks around.
Plucky: Where's Buster and Leon?
Sora: Hello? Leon? Buster? Where are you?
?: Hey, you!
The trio turns to see a young woman enter the room. She has long black hair, wears a black top, black gloves, and black shorts. Dizzy was blushing at the woman.
Dizzy:(Blushing)Who you?
Woman: I'm Tifa Lockhart.
Tifa starts looking around the room.
Sora: What are you doing?
Tifa: I'm looking for somebody. Have any of you seen a guy with spiky hair?
Sora picks on his hair. Tifa giggles.
Tifa: Spikier.
The trio shook their heads no.
Tifa: I'll just take a look around.
Tifa looks around the room. She knocks on a wall, inspects the desk, inspects on of the bookshelves, and inspects another wall. She noticed something strange about that wall. So she kicks it, but nothing happened.
Tifa: Sorry to bother you. I'll look somewhere else.
Sora, Plucky, & Dizzy: No bother, mam!
Tifa walks away from the room and closed the door.
?: So you made it.
The trio turns to see Leon, leaning on the wall.
Sora: Leon!
Sora walks up to Leon.
Sora: Isn't Buster with you?
Leon puts his finger in front of his mouth.
Leon: You'll see him soon enough.
Plucky: HEY!
Leon: Here, this ought to tide you over.
Leon puts his hand on the wall, making it disappear and revealing a secret passage.
Leon: This lead's to Ansem's computer room.
The trio follows Leon to a massive room, where there are capsules all over the place. They then enter a smaller room, which has a computer on one side and what looks like a teleporter on the other side. Sora walks up to the computer.
Sora: This must be it! Where's Kairi? Where's Riku?
Sora starts slamming on the keyboard.
Leon: Take it easy! You wanna break it?
Behind him are six figures, flying up to the ceiling.
Sora stops and put one of his hands behind his head.
Sora: Oh, sorry. Guess I got a little carried away.
Suddenly, Dizzy looks up in the ceiling and gasps.
Sora: What is it Dizzy?
Dizzy: Look up there!
Everyone looks up the ceiling to see six anthropomorphic frogs with wing packs on their backs. All of them have white tummies. One frog is a green frog with a yellow helmet and a yellow star on his tummy. One frog is a red frog with a dark red helmet, a scar across his left eye, and a belt strapped across his body. One frog is a female light purple frog with a pink helmet with cat ear shapes and a half pink and half yellow heart on her tummy. One frog is a young black frog with a yellow helmet and a half green and half yellow shield on his tummy. One frog is a yellow frog with an orange helmet, wears a glasses with swirly eyes, headphones, and a red spiral shape on his tummy. The last frog is a blue ninja frog with a gray helmet with cloth around the sides, a gray mask, and a yellow shuriken on his tummy. The green frog's wing pack suddenly deactivates and he fell on the keyboard. The other frogs flew down to him.
Frog 1: Oops! I should have charged my wing pack.
Frog 2: Keroro, you idiot! You almost broke that computer!
Frog 3: Giroro's right. We could be in trouble for that.
Keroro: Sorry about that, Pururu.
Plucky: HEY! Get off of that computer!
Plucky jumps on the computer, but Keroro jumps on his head and ran out of the room. Giroro, Pururu, and the other frogs followed him.
Plucky: Why those little...
Suddenly, an alarm went off.
?:Attention, organic lifeform! This is a warning! Further misuse of this terminal will result in immediate defensive action!
The trio looks around the room, trying to find out where that voice is coming from.
Sora: Who's there?
?:I am Megatron, Decepticon Emperor of Destruction. I oversee this system.
Sora: Where are you?
Plucky tried to walk off the computer, but accidentally taps one of the buttons.
Sora & Dizzy: Plucky!
Leon just facepalms.
Plucky: I'm sorry...I didn't mean it.
Megatron: Decision gate reached! You are now under arrest!
Sora: We're under arrest?
Suddenly, the teleporter starts shining.
Leon: Run, you guys!
The trio saw the teleporter fire three beams at them. They got turned into data and disappeared. The trio got teleported to a futuristic planet.
World: Cybertron G1
Sora got up and looks around the world. He saw futuristic buildings all over the place. He then looks at himself and see that he has a robotic body. He looks like a black Lamborghini Countach LP500 robot with a black helmet and a missile on his left shoulder.
?: Sora!
Sora turns to see Plucky and Dizzy with their hands up and are surrounded by the Heartless. Plucky and Dizzy are also in robotic bodies too. Plucky looks like a green Volkswagen Beetle robot with a green horned helmet. Dizzy looks like a purple Nissan Cherry Vanette with a purple helmet.
Sora: Come on! Show them who's boss!
Suddenly, he saw three robots, flying in the sky, coming towards them. One is a red and white F-15 Eagle. One is a blue cassette player robot with a blue helmet, red visor, and white mouth plate. The last one is a purple robot with a yellow mono-eye. When the three robots landed, the jet robot transforms to reveal he has a black helmet and face and blue forearms.
Sora: Who are you?
Robot 1: I am Starscream, Decepticon Air Commander.
Robot 2: I am Soundwave, Decepticon Communications Officer.
Robot 3: And I am Shockwave, Cybertron Guard Commander.
Sora: Do you command the Heartless?
Starscream: Observe, Autobot spy!
Starscream fires a purple laser from his arm cannon and shocks Plucky and Dizzy.
Sora: OK! You're the boss! I get it! Please don't harm my friends!
Starscream stops and smirks at Sora.
Starscream: Now put those three in prison!
The trio were taken to a prison cell. The trio looks outside the window to see that they're in a futuristic world.
Dizzy: This place look very strange.
Sora looks at Plucky with an angry look.
Sora: Way to go, Plucky! Thanks to you, we're now in prison!
Plucky: Sorry, it was an accident.
Sora: What kind of world is this? It doesn't look like any world I've been to before.
Plucky: Why does the purple mono-eyed robot look like a Zaku from Gundam? Are we like in some kind of 70s Super Robot anime world?
Sora: I think this world looks more like an 80s Super Robot anime world. That jet robot kinda looks like a Valkyrie from Macross.
?: You're in a planet called Cybertron.
Sora and the gang turns to see a red Freightliner robot with a blue helmet, blue hands, blue legs, and gray mouth plate.
Sora: What's the planet's name again?
Robot: This planet is called Cybertron. It's the home of giant robots called Transformers. We're called that because we can transform into vehicles.
Plucky: So we are in a Super Robot anime world.
Robot: What was that?
Sora: Nothing! Who are you?
Robot: My name is Optimus Prime, Autobot Supreme Commander. But now I'm under arrest. Same as you guys.
Sora turns to Plucky and Dizzy.
Sora: Did you guys get any of that?
Dizzy: Maybe we should introduce ourselves.
Sora: I'm Sora.
Plucky: I'm Plucky Duck.
Dizzy: Me Dizzy Devil. Nice to meet Optimus.
Optimus: With that configuration, you must be organic lifeforms. You better get outta here quickly. Who knows what Megatron will do to you.
Sora: Megatron?
Optimus: He's the Decepticon Emperor of Destruction. He rules the planet with an iron fist. If you stay here, you will be terminated.
Sora and the gang freaks out about that.
Plucky: TERMINATED?
Sora: So how do we get outta here?
Optimus stood to think for a moment. Then he walks over to a computer.
Optimus: This terminal could have gotten you back to Hollow Bastion. But Megatron cuts the power, 50 microcycles ago.
Sora and the gang sighs in disappointment.
Optimus: If we could bring the energy core in the canyon online, we could power it back up. The problem is, we're stuck in this cell.
Optimus points to and energy field with a Keyhole on it.
Optimus: We're not going anywhere, unless we unlock the energy field.
The trio stood there to think for a moment. Then Sora realized that the energy field has a Keyhole on it. He pulls out his Keyblade and points it at the energy field. The Keyblade fires a beam at the Keyhole and unlocks it. Sora, Optimus, Plucky, and Dizzy escapes the prison cell and went outside. Meanwhile, Starscream is talking to a white Walther P-38 robot sitting on his throne. he has black hands, black legs, and a Fusion Cannon on his right arm.
Starscream: Megatron, why not just terminate Optimus?
Megatron: I still haven't found the password to the dataspace.
Starscream: What about a logic probe? With all your processing power-
Megatron: Out of the question! The current environment hampers the processing power needed for such an analysis.
Starscream: Nonsense! If I were the Emperor of Destruction, I would just terminate Optimus immediately!
Megatron: I am the ruler and I'll say what will be done. I don't need your treachery, Starscream.
Suddenly, an alarm went off. Soundwave and Shockwave came running in the throne room.
Soundwave: Megatron, the prisoners have escaped.
Megatron: WHAT? How is that possible?
Shockwave: They must have found a way.
Megatron: Starscream! Soundwave! Shockwave! Terminate the prisoners, before they escape from the planet! End of line!
Starscream: Yes, sir!
Meanwhile, back with our heroes, they are on a moving platform that will take them outside.
Optimus: Incredible...It seems you have some unique features. I'll go with you to the canyon. You'll need someone who will interface with the energy core.
Sora: If you say so...Thanks, Optimus.
The platform took the gang to the canyon of Cybertron. They entered the building with some power generator. On top of the generator are purple boxes, but it is missing one box.
Optimus: This is the energy core. But it is missing a piece. We need to find that piece.
Suddenly, a bunch of blue boxes appeared. The gang saw one of the boxes that glows red. The boxes starts spinning around and the glowing box starts to dim. The gang memorized that one box. As soon as the boxes stops spinning, they struck the real box. All the other boxes disappeared. Sora lifts the real one with his Keyblade and placed it at the empty slot. The generator starts powering up and sank down into the ground.
Optimus: We have activated the power generator. Now...will you do something for me?
Sora: You got it!
Optimus: Don't you wanna hear what it is first?
Plucky: You helped us! Now it's our turn!
Optimus: You guys really are organic lifeforms. Your actions are totally illogical.
Sora, Plucky, and Dizzy looks at each other.
Optimus: Let's hurry back to the pit cell.
Sora: Where's that again?
Optimus: That's the prison cell where we met.
The gang made it all the way to the pit cell. Optimus was setting up the computer for Sora and his friends to return to Hollow Bastion.
Sora: So what do you want us to do?
Optimus: Find the user. He'll give you the password to access the DTD.
Plucky: You bet!
Sora: DTD?
Optimus: DTD is the name the original user gave to the dataspace. Copies of all the original system's programs are stored there, along with anything that's sensitive, or restricted.
Dizzy: Anything about Heartless or Organization XIII?
Optimus: Most likely.
Optimus went back to setting up the computer.
Optimus: A number of my functions were appropriated when I last fought Megatron. That's why I need the password. If I can get inside the DTD, I can access my original backup program and restore all my functions.
He finished setting up the computer and turns to Sora and his friends.
Optimus: Then I'll be able to restore this planet back the way it was, before Megatron took over and changed everything. The way it was supposed to be, a free planet for both robots and organic lifeforms.
Dizzy: But, Optimus. Ain't Megatron one of those robots too? Do Optimus know who made Megatron?
Optimus: Actually...I don't know.
Sora: OK, we'll just have to find the user and ask him. What's his name?
Optimus: You mean you don't know? The user is the user of this system: Ansem the Wise.
The trio were shocked.
Sora, Plucky, & Dizzy: Ansem?
Suddenly, the computer is starting to act up. Optimus went back to work on it again.
Optimus: Looks like Megatron is on to us. I'll keep this terminal up and running. You better leave the planet, now!
Sora: Sure...But Optimus...Ansem is-
Plucky: We'll get you the password!
Optimus: OK. You're good to go. Hurry!
Optimus steps aside for the trio to walk in front of the computer. The trio teleports away from Cybertron and made their way to Hollow Bastion.
That's it for chapter 28. Sora, Plucky, and Dizzy are based off of different G1 Autobots. Sora is based off of Sideswipe, Plucky is based off of Bumblebee, and Dizzy is based off of Ironhide. Our Cybertron adventures will continue next time.
