Chapter 21

The group enter into a world where the sun sits between night and day, this world is called Twilight Town. The group was then walking into the Tram Common, hoping to find something to revive Roxas.

As they enter the Common, Goofy then said, "Gawrsh, we forgot to fill Master Yen Sid in on what happened. Should we go back?"

"Typical Sora.", said Donald.

"Hmm… You mean about Maleficent and Xigbar?", asked Sora.

"Should we call him?", asked Juvia.

Sora answered. "No, the others have already got enough on their plates as it is. Why go stressing them out? The three of us know how to handle a couple of old adversaries and we got new friends to help us, right?"

"Yeah, I guess…", said Donald.

"But doesn't that thing Pete said bother ya?", asked Goofy.

"The black box?", said Happy.

"Now that we're thinking about it, do you think the Organization is after that box?" asked Gray. "I mean that witch use to work with them."

"Come on, we're talking about Pete. That means it's probably no big deal.", said Sora.

"That's true. I mean that fat cat didn't seem so tough, he just a complete jerk.", said Natsu.

"I don't know…", said an unsure Donald.

They enter the Tram Common and notice a tram passing by.

"Oh, cool. The trams are still here!", Sora said excitedly.

"Are we going on that? Because I don't want to!", said Natsu as he was about to get sick.

"Relax, we're not.", said Donald. "Sora, it hasn't been that long."

"Feels like it.", he responded.

Goofy spoke up and said, "Maybe you're feeling what Roxas feels 'cause he misses home."

"This place must really be special to him.", said Lucy.

"I wonder what kind of person he is.", questioned Charle

"Actually, I ran into Roxas in the Sleeping Worlds. It was like...seeing into his heart for the first time.", Sora explain.

"And he was in the datascape, too.", Donald added.

"Really?", asked Wendy.

Goofy explained. "Uh-huh. It was a test to see if your data version was ready to face the hurt that ya carry inside."

"Was I ready?", asked Sora. "I do know hurt. When I lost Riku and Kairi, and later when I lost the Keyblade, and you guys had to go on without me like that… Having no one to turn to was the worst kind of hurt. But that just shows how much you mean to me. Carrying around a little hurt can't be all that bad. Hurting is part of caring."

Donald and Goofy looked at each other. Then Donald said, "He sounds like Data-Sora did."

Goofy agreed. "Of course. Any Sora's still Sora.

Lucy then jumped into the conversation. "You're not alone in this. Everyone in Fairy Tail has their own personal share of suffering and lost."

"But we pull through thanks to the bonds we share with everyone in the guild.", said Natsu.

"We all smile, laugh, and cry as hard as we can. We make the most out of everyday, because each one of them counts.", said Gray.

Sora smiled. "Fairy Tail is truly a wonderful guild. Oh, yeah! If Roxas feels something, then we're in the right place. Roxas, I'm gonna find you!"

Sora then heard a voice. Do you seek our liege?

"Huh?", question Sora.

"What is it?", asked Donald.

Suddenly, Dusk Nobodies appeared right behind Sora.

"What the hell are those things?!", asked Happy.

Everyone turned around. "Nobodies!", answered Goofy.

"Those are the Nobodies? They look weird.", said Lucy.

"Be careful, the Heartless act on instinct while the Nobodies are intelligent.", said Sora as he summon Keyblades.

"Good thing we're experts at this!", said Donald.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

Natsu tried to attack a Dusk, but it dodge with it's wiggly body. "What the hell? How it do that?", asked a frustrated Natsu.

"Ice-Make: Lance!"

Gray fired ice lances at the Nobodies, but they all dodge the lances effortlessly. "Damn! What the hell are they made of?", question Gray.

The Nobodies then slash their sharp feet at Natsu, making his arm bleed a little. "Man, these bastards are really annoying the crap out of me!", said Natsu.

"Sky Dragon's Roar!"

Wendy blaster her Sky Magic out from her mouth, sending the Nobodies flying.

"Attack them with wide open attacks!", commanded Erza as she requip into her Morning Star Armor.

Listening to Erza's words, the skip their melee attacks and use all range attacks on the Nobodies, defeating them.

After they defeated them, Sora thought for a moment and said, "What was that voice? I know I heard it."

"I didn't hear it.", said Donald.

"I didn't hear it either and I have a strong sense of hearing.", said Natsu.

"You sure it wasn't the wind? Or somethin' else?", asked Goofy.

"I'm pretty sure…"

"Where'd they come from?!", someone screamed.

"Get the ice cream later!", screamed another.

"What? Hold up!", screamed another.

"See? Voices.", said Sora.

"Now I hear them!", said Natsu.

There was a pause. Then Sora said, "...New ones?"

They all face the stairs in the corner of the street and they saw three kids running.

"What? Hayner? Pence! Olette!", said a astonish Sora.

"Who?", asked Juvia.

"They are our friends from Twilight Town. Their virtual selves are friends with Roxas.", explain Goofy.

"But what are they running from?", asked Laxus.

As the three were running, the group saw a swarm of Shadow Heartlesses behind them.

"What is that?!", question a surprise Goofy.

The three kids then look up and saw the group.

"Heeey! Sora! Hello, good-bye.", shouted Hayner as they ran pass the group.

"Go! We got this.", shouted Sora.

"You mean I got this! This is just like last time!", said Natsu.

Natsu then jumped into the air and headed straight towards the Demon Tide.

"Eat this! Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

He sent his fried fist down at the Heartless' core. Suffering from the blow, Tide went into the sky and left into a different direction.

"So fast!", said a dazed Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

"Hey! You get the hell back here!", shouted an angry Natsu.

"Calm down!", shouted Lucy.

When the Heartless left, the three kids from before came back.

"Nice fightin'! Thanks." said Hayner.

"Hayner, Pence Olette. It's been ages!", said Sora.

"What? It hasn't been that long.", said Hayner.

"Ya see?", said Donald.

"Donald! Goofy! How are ya?, asked Olette.

"We're good.", responded Donald.

"Howdy there, Olette.", said Goofy.

"Who are these guys?", asked Olette.

"These guys are traveling with us. Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, Happy, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet, Juvia Lockser, Wendy Marvell, Charle, Gajeel Redfox, Panther Lily, and Laxus Dreyar.", said Donald.

"That fire attack was really cool!", said Pence.

"Thanks!", Natsu replied.

"You are so cute!", said Olette as she was hugging Happy.

"Aye.", said Happy, sounding like he in pain.

"So does this mean that weird stuff's going down again?", asked Pence.

"You kidding, Pence? When have we ever seen a tornado of shadowy blobs before?", asked Hayner. "It's not 'weird.' This is underprecedented."

"I don't think that's a word.", said Lucy.

Pence thought for a moment then said, "I guess it is. The creatures from the last time were bright white. These things must be new."

"You never been attack by those guys before?", asked Erza.

"No, first time. Man, I can't wait to get to sleuthin'." said Pence.

"We're already done with the school projects, silly.", said Olette. "Whatever's going on, you wouldn't be here unless you had a good reason. Especially, since you brought new people here."

"Which is?", asked Hayner.

"Well, actually, we're looking for Roxas.", Sora explain.

"Roxas?", question Olette.

Hayner thought for a moment, then said, "That's funny… I don't know any Roxas, but the name sounds familiar."

"Maybe we bumped into him somewhere.", Pence suggested.

"Uh, that's one way to put it.", said Donald.

"Actually, he mighta been friends with another version of ya.", said Goofy as he pulled out something from his back pocket.

Goofy then show a photo of the three kids with Roxas in front of a old mansion.

Hayner took the photo and examine it.

"This photograph…", said Olette.

"Yeah. We've got the same one.", said Pence as he grabbed something out of his back pocket. This time it shows the three kids in front of the mansion, but Roxas is not shown.

"Oh yeah! The other Twilight Town!", said Hayner.

"It's like one of those 'spot the differences' puzzles… except really easy. I guess in that town, we're friends with this 'Roxas' person."

"Sora, let us help you track Roxas down.", said Hayner as Pence and Olette agreed.

"Really?", asked a excited Sora.

"Sure, he seems like a pretty cool guy."

Sora laughed. "Yeah. He is."

"Great. Then let's all go ask around town.", Pence suggested. "If alternate-us knew Roxas, then maybe alternate-other folks did too."

"Sora, you guys should go to the place in the photo. It's the old mansion. The three of us'll cover places in town.", said Olette.

"Thanks.", said Sora. He then grabbed the Gummiphone out of his pocket. "Oh yeah! I got this phone thingy that takes pictures. Want to snap a photo while we're all here?"

"Sure. That's a great idea!", said Pence.

Everyone got into photo position. From left to right: Goofy, Olette, Hayner, Donald, Sora and Pence. While behind them from left to right: Wendy, Charle, Juvia, Gray, Erza, Lucy, Natsu, Happy, Lily, Gajeel, and Laxus.

But before they could smile, Pence said, "Wait, who's taking it?"

"I got that one.", said Lucy.

"Open the Gate of the Twins! Gemini!"

Lucy summon the Gemini Twins: Gemi and Mini.

"Piri-piri! Thanks for calling us, Miss Lucy! What can we do for ya?", asked Gemi.

"Whoa what is that?", asked a astonish Hayner.

"I use Celestial Spirit Magic. I can summon spirits from another dimension.", Lucy explain.

"So cool!", said Pence.

"Hey Gemini. Were trying to take a group photo, can you change into someone and get a picture of us?", asked Lucy.

"Sure thing, Miss Lucy!", said Mini.

Gemi and Mini then flew into the air and transform into clouds. The clouds the disappeared, revealing to be Lucy in a towel.

"Piri-piri!", said Gemini-Lucy.

Lucy screamed in embarrassment while everyone else was blushing.

"Not that form! Change into something else!", an angry Lucy yelled.

Listening to Lucy's command, Gemini transform into Goofy.

"Me?", said a surprise Goofy.

"Why not? We don't mind.", said Gemini-Goofy.

"Does she always walk around half-naked?", Hayner asked Natsu.

"Sometimes.", Natsu answered.

"Everybody smile. A-hyuck!", said Gemini-Goofy as they took the picture.

"Wow, that came out great!", said Pence as everyone was impressed by the photo.

Olette then said, "Oh! A lucky emblem."

She pointed at the corner of the photo, showing something carved into the wall.

"Lucky emblem?", asked Sora.

Olette explained. "Oh yeah, they are huge right now. Supposedly, these things are hidden all over town. And if you get a picture of them, they'll bring you good luck."

"Cool!", said the group.

Sora then said while pointing at the photo, "Wait. Look, guys! Is that…"

"You're right! I see it too.", said Goofy.

"Is it the King?", asked Donald.

"You mean Mickey's symbol?", asked Gray.

Sora smiled and said, "I knew it."

"Good luck, because they're not all this easy to find." said Olette.

"Okay, we'd better start asking around. You start by checking out the old mansion. We'll catch up.", said Hayner.

"Got it."

The group then explored Twilight Town while heading to the old mansion. They notice a lot of changes have been made: Like a new restaurant has been made and everywhere has been clean up to look nice. They also found out the wall that leads to the woods and the old mansion has been covered up, but they heard there is a new way to reach the woods. By going near the entrance to the Sandlot door and turning right, there is a sewage like area that leads to the woods. They headed to that direction the rumors were true, much to Donald and Lucy's displeasure. They then made out of the sewers and enter into the woods.

As they walk, they saw a trail of food on the ground, leading a tree near them.

"Alright, food!", said Natsu as he was about to take a bight from the apple.

Lucy snatch the apple away before he could eat it. "What gives, Lucy?", asked an annoyed Natsu.

"This was on the ground! You can't just eat food off the ground!", answered Lucy.

Goofy then notice Powerwild Heartless climbing the tree. "Heartless!"

"What do ya think they're up to?", asked Sora.

"I don't know, let's bash them!", said Natsu.

"Hold on!", said Goofy as he examine the tree. He then saw a blue rat on top of a branch, being cornered by the Heartless. "Look! On that branch. The Heartless have him surrounded!"

"Oh no!", said Sora.

"Let's help! Happy, get him!", said Donald.

"Aye, sir!", said Happy as he flew up the branch and grab him while the others took out the Heartless.

After a while, the Heartlesses were defeated. Happy then brought the happy rat to the group.

"Well, take care.", said Sora.

The group then started to walk away. The rat then look around the area and saw the fruit scattered everywhere on the ground. The rat sighed, as he has to gather all of the fruit. He then looked at Sora and ran after him. He then climb on to Sora until he was on top of his head. Once on top he then grab Sora by his hair, making Sora spin and surprise.

"Wh-what is-", question Sora as the rat controlled his body, making him move towards the apple on the ground.

"Are you okay?", asked Donald.

"I don't sense any magic that happening.", said Charle.

Sora then stopped and the rat made him pick up the apple from the ground, still astonish on what is happening.

"Lookie! That little feller's parked on your head.", said Goofy.

"Huuuh?", Sora responded.

The rat pulled on his hair again, making Sora's left arm go up.

"Would you cut that-", said Sora, but he bent over and picked up another apple.

"Sora, you've been hijacked.", said Donald.

"I think it wants you to pick up the fruit on the ground.", said Wendy.

The rat nodded. Sora then said, "Okay, that's fine. But I can do it by myself."

The rat came down from his head and on to his right arm.

"I just need to collect the fruit?", asked Sora. The rat nodded.

After some time, Sora gathered the fruit and put them into a pile. The rat look please by Sora's job.

"So, what're you gonna do with all this, anyway?", asked Sora.

The rat then made some gestures: His hand chopping in the air and his hand spreading something out. The group didn't get what he was doing, making the rat sigh.

Sora then said, "Well, okay. You be careful going home."

"Bye Mr. Rat.", said Happy.

The group then started to make their way to the old mansion.
