Oh look, it's a chapter longer than the ones I usually make. Hopefully it stays that way.

Chapter XX- Traverse Town (Part 5)

Sora breathed a sigh of relief when they finally landed in Traverse Town, well more like crash landed. He jumped when a there was a spark against the wall next to him.

"Finally, I didn't think we would get out of there in one piece." Koga said looking at their damaged ship. One of the engines was sputtering, the reinforced glass dome was cracked, and one of the smaller wings was missing.

"I didn't know that the Heartless had ships of their own." Goofy said, still shaking in his seat. "They just came out of nowhere and attacked us."

"Why doesn't this ship have guns or missiles or maybe a super laser!" Sora pouted at Donald.

"Wak! This ship was built for travel between worlds, not fighting!" Donald retorted.

"Well traveling between worlds is no longer safe so flying is not gonna happen. Unless you want to be roasted duck."

"Alright!" Koga interjected. "Let's just talk to Leon about the keyhole thing and get a move on."

The group nodded and stepped out past the main gate and into the First District. So far this world was the most homey of all the ones they've seen so far, it had a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It wasn't the islands but for what little time they spent here, it felt like home to the duo. As they walked in they noticed something off. The place seemed like there was a lot more people than before. The Plaza was pretty crowded.

Koga seemed distracted. He was looking up at the sky with a frown. "I thought there were more stars..." He mumbled. He didn't look where he was going and bumped into a woman. She nearly fell back before Koga grabbed her gloved hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry Ms!" He said as he looked at the lady. She wore a black hat and a red scarf, she had rosy cheeks on her kind but stern looking face. And she had a umbrella with a bird shaped head on the end of it.

"Quite alright young man. But do watch where you are going next time." She said as she dusted her dress. She looked at him top and bottom and made a face before she strolled off.

"Hey Sora, Koga!" Said a familiar voice. Koga looked near Cid's shop and saw a familiar ninja girl waving at him and the group.

"Hey Yuffie." Koga said walking up to her with the group. "How are you do-"

"What?!" Yuffie shouted. It seemed that all the people out here talking are making it hard to hear. They went inside Cid's shop.

"Ah, well look who came blowing back into my shop!" said Cid from his counter. "It's my two favorite customers, Koga and Sora."

"Hey Cid." Sora greeted. Donald and Koga used this opportunity to restock on potions and ethers. It's a good thing that the Heartless drop munny (for whatever reason) because Cid is not giving any sort of discount.

"Well look at you," The ninja said leaning in close to Koga just as he was putting the newly purchased items away. "Gone for about a week and you're already a Keyblade Master."

"W-what!" Koga sputtered wide eyed.

Yuffie laughed. "Just kidding, but you do look like you've gotten stronger, same with you Sora." She said ruffling his hair.

"Yeah, done some training, kicking a lot of Heartless butt." Sora boasted, making Donald roll his eyes.

"So what brings you back into town?"

"We gotta talk to Leon." Goofy said.

"Well, you're gonna have to wait for him, he's out handling the influx of new residents, he won't be back till tomorrow."

Sora shrugged. "We aren't in a hurry, we can't get off this world anytime soon anyway because we almost got blown up by Heartless spaceships and we have no weapons!" Sora added.

Cid laughed. "Why didn't you just ask me for help, I used to be an engineer as well as an expert on anything gummi related."

Donald arched an eyebrow. "Then do you know about this?" Donald held out the gummi pieces that came out of those keyholes in Wonderland and Deep Jungle.

Cid looked at them mesmerized. "Why those are two halves of a warp gummi." He said putting them together to make a star-shaped gummi piece.

"A what?" Sora scratched his head.

"A warp gummi! I won't bother you with the details, just know that it lets you instantly warp back to worlds you previously visited. I guess it can take you to worlds that you haven't been to before but I wouldn't recommend it without a proper navigation gummi, which your favorite shop-owner has for free!"

"What's the catch?" Koga said.

"Wow, he caught on quick." Yuffie said impressed.

Cid grinned. "I had a feeling you would ask, I have a favor for you two while you are still here." He reached under the counter and pulled out a wrapped package about the size of a pillow. "This here was a very torn up item that I was paid to fix up. I did the best I can but it's as fragile as a deck of cards. I need you to deliver the package for me. Do it and not only will I fix up your ship and add the warp gummi, but I'll also add some guns to it on the house."

Sora gently picked up the package, whatever was inside he could hear it crinkle just from his fingers touching it. There was something oddly warm about the package. He looked to Cid. "You got a deal."

"Perfect! The old man moves around from time to time, you'll know who he is when you see him. As for the Gummi ship, it might take awhile but I'll get to work as soon a-"

"Uh Cid..."

"What?!" Cid shouted irritated at Yuffie who was peeking out the door.

"They're back." She said nervous backing away from the door quick.

Suddenly someone kicked the door open. When they looked, the people in the shop saw at the entrance a small man with a big nose wearing baggy clothes and had a angry expression on his face. Behind him was six other different looking small men.

"Well well, if it isn't the seven dwarfs again. What brings you back here?" Cid said with venom in his voice.

"You know exactly why we are here!" Said the angry looking dwarf. He slammed his hands on the counter. "You are gonna pay ya thief!"

"Um, what's going on?" Goofy asked confused and feeling a little bit awkward.

"Well guys, meet Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Bashful, Sneezy, Sleepy, and Dopey. They arrived shortly after you and they seem to think they can swindle me out of my stuff." Cid growled.

"Now lets not hake a massle, uh, make a hassle. Just give us back our diamond." Said the dwarf with glasses. He pointed to a glass case on the side of the counter holding a large cleanly cut diamond.

"I told you I found it fair and square!" Cid said. "I'm gonna make a big buck off of it, so buy it if you want its not for free."

One of the dwarfs stepped forward and stared down Cid. "Well that's not..." Cid glared back at him making the dwarf nervous. "Th-that's n-not... oh gosh!" He hid his face inside his shirt as he blush like crazy.

"It's the one thing from our world that *yawn* made it here..." Said the dwarf that's probably called Sleepy.

"Well I don't see your name on it!"

Koga cleared his throat. "Can't you guys calm down?"

"Shut up kid!" Grumpy shouted. "This ain't any of your business, go on git!"

Yuffie shrugged. "I'll take care of things here guys, don't worry. Meet us at the old abandoned storage room in the Third District."

Sora nodded. "Alright, see you later." He waved as he and the group left the shop and the commotion.

"Well that was something." Koga said letting out a yawn.

"It's late, we should head to the Motel for the night." Goofy suggested. The group murmured in agreement and made their way into the Second District which was strangely empty.

Goofy scratched his head. "You think with all the new people this place would be more packed."

"Yeah, it's a little weird."

Just then there was the sound of barking. Over in the corner of the District by the fountain there was a bunch of flying Heartless, two of them looked like the mage heartless being yellow and green colored.

Yellow Opera

Green Requiem

While the other looked like the Soldiers but with a aviator hat and wings.

Air Soldier

They surround a pair of spotted dogs who growled threateningly. Koga's eyes widened.

"Pongo, Perdita!" He shouted as he dashed forward with his Keyblade out.

"Wait, hold on Koga!" Donald shouted.

"Hey!" The boy shouted as he got between the Dalmatians and the Heartless. "Freeze!" He said as he unleashed a powerful blast of ice and took out a large number of the Heartless. Except the Green Requiems who just absorbed the magic like it was nothing. He stood in defense as he prepared for retaliation...

And the Heartless just use cure on each other, nothing else. Koga stared confused at them.

"Um... are you going to attack?" The Heartless just stared blankly back at him. Then they looked around before flying off.

"I think they only know how to heal each other." Donald said. "Guess they can't really fight."

"Well that was anticlimactic." Koga sweat dropped as he turned to the Dalmatians. Pongo and Perdita wagged their tails happily as Koga smiled and knelt down to pet them. "Hey guys, long time no see?"

"You know them?" Sora asked watching his brother play with the dogs.

"Yeah, when we left the Islands these dogs found me unconscious here. They're good really good dogs and helped me out." He laughed as they licked his face. "Oh guys, these are my friends Donald and Goofy." He says as he pointed to them. "And him over there is my brother Sora." The three of them waved to the dogs. They barked back at them

"They say hi."

"How does he know?" Sora whispered.

Suddenly Pongo and Perdita's fur stood up as they growled as a Large Body appeared.

"Pongo, Perdita. Get out of here." Koga ordered.

The two obeyed and ran off. The group faced the Heartless.

Suddenly there was a sharp noise as the Heartless collapsed and vanished. Behind them was a familiar white haired boy holding a red and purple sword shaped like a batwing.

"There you two are. What's going on?" Riku said with a confident smirk.

"RIKU!?" Sora and Koga shouted in unison. They ran forward and poked Riku's chest, then pinched his arm, then tugged at his hair spikes. Riku stared at them with a stoic smile until they pulled on his cheeks. He swatted their hands away.

"Would you cut that out?"

"It's not a dream, you're really here!" Sora laughed. The two of them wrapped their arms around him and pulled him into a hug, laughing to be reunited with one of their best friends.

It felt reliving that finally their journey got them together again.

Riku chuckled and patted their backs. "I hope it's not. It took me forever to find you."

"So is Kairi with you?" Koga asked breaking from the hug.

"Kairi? Isn't she with you?" Riku asked. The twin's smile dropped, realizing that she isn't with him. Riku playfully punched Koga's shoulder. "Hey don't worry. I'm sure she made it off the island as well. Who knows, she might even be looking for us now." Riku looked up at the sky, not noticing the pair of Shadows coming from the ground. "Well all be together again eventually. Don't worry, just leave everything to me. I'll protect y-"

In one swift motion, Sora did a sliding dash and slashed one Heartless in half while Koga kicked the other Shadow and blasted it with his Keygun.

Riku just stared at them with a surprised face. The two brothers looked at him with sly grins.

"Leave it to who?" Sora said.

"Sora Koga. How did you..."

"We've been looking for you and Kairi, too, with their help." Koga said pointing to Donald and Goofy.

Riku noticed them for the first time, and narrowed his eyes.

"Thanks to their help we've visited so many places and worlds looking for you."

"Really? Well what do you know, never would have guessed." Riku said coldly.

"Yeah, and they are both the Keyblade master." Goofy said.

"Who would've guessed." Donald shrugged.

"Hey!" Sora turned to him. "What's that supposed to mean!?"

"So this is called a Keyblade?" Riku said, holding up the Kingdom Key.

"Huh?" Sora said surprised, he looked and saw that his Keyblade wasn't in his hand.

"How did he..." Koga mumbled.

"Hey, give it back!" Sora complained.

Riku chuckled. "Catch." He said tossing it back to him.

"So, you gotta come with us. We got this awesome rocket, just wait till you see it!" Koga said hopping in place.

"No, he can't come!" Donald said crossing his arms.

"What! Why not!?"

"It's too dangerous! Besides, we only have enough seats for four."

"You're wrong, Riku can take care of himself!" Sora shouted.

"Um guys, Riku left." Goofy said. They looked and forgot about the argument, seeing he's nowhere to be found.

Sora scowled at Donald. "Nice going."

Koga put a hand on Sora's shoulder. "Hey, at least we know he's alright."

He smiled back. "Yeah, you're right. And who knows? Maybe we'll run into Kairi soon, too."

"C'mon, lets get some shut eye." The group walked to the Motel, not noticing a sinister looking Raven watching them.

Ooh, an interesting change to the original 2nd visit to Traverse town.

There are a certain number of Disney worlds that have been declared destroyed by the time of the game, and others that haven't but I doubt they will make an appearance in later games so I don't feel worried about messing up the canon. Got any ideas on what to add, give me some suggestions (emphasis on suggestions)

Slight spoilers but I recently realized that there was a secret cuteness in Kingdom Hearts that revealed that the world that was destroyed sometime before Alice was captured was Snow White's. Also there is a Lady and the Tramp statue in Traverse Town, you think I should add them?

Let me know your thoughts, I appreciate every review you give about my fic. (Just don't be mean)

See you guys later...

HAVE FUN!
