Chapter 53

After following the black goop trail for quite a while, the group then entered a large area that leads to the entrance to the Door Vault. They have also notice that the trail has stopped.

"The trail stops here…", said Erza.

Sulley then looked around and said, "Well since we're here, everybody look for Boo's door."

Before anyone could do anything, Randall appeared with the cage from before, but this time it has expanded.

"Randall…", he said with disgust.

"Isn't that the junky thing from before?", asked Natsu.

"Didn't you learn your lesson with that pile-of-junk fiasco?", asked a sarcastic Mike.

"Oh, I learned a lot.", said Randall as he presented the metal cage, surprising everyone but Mike.

"Is it me or did that thing just got bigger?", question a worried Lucy.

Mike smiled and went over towards the cage. Suddenly, the Unversed symbol appeared on top of it. Boo then looked scared and hid behind Sulley while making worried noises.

"Wait, Mike. Something's different!", said a cautious Sulley.

Sulley then grab Boo and took her to a safe location while the others ran towards Mike.

"Hey's right.", said Wendy. "I can smell something strange on that thing."

"Oh, please.", said a calm Mike. "It's just more junk."

While standing on a higher stand, Randall laughed Mike. Mike was about to make a comment about him when suddenly, black goop came from the cage and spread all over the floor. Everybody turned and saw the goop turn into a large monster, shocking Happy, Charle, Lucy, Wendy, Juvia, and Mike with fear. Seeing this, a terrified Mike back away from the monster while others ran up towards it.

"An Unversed!", said Sora.

"And a very gross one!", said Gray.

Sulley then grabbed Mike by his head and said, "Mike, time to reach down and let the scary out."

Understanding what Sulley said, Mike slapped his face a couple of times and gave a scary expression.

"Oh, I'm ready, Sulley.", he said with confidence. "I'm ready!"

"Finally…", said Randall with satisfaction. "This is exactly what I need to take over the company. But first, I am getting rid of you. Attack!"

Listen to its master, the monster lifted its arms up and slammed it onto the ground. Everyone dodged when the arm hit.

"Gray, try freezing it!", shouted Sora.

Gray nodded and freezed the floor with his hands. It started to spread on the monster's body until the monster produced flames from his hands and threw it at the ice, making it melt.

"He can use fire?!", said a surprise Gray.

Natsu then charged at the monster.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!"

Natsu blasted a huge amount of fire at the monster but it countered Natsu's attack by fire ice at the fire.

"It can use ice too?!", said Mike.

One of the monster's hands sprung into the air and grabbed Natsu.

"Crap!"

He then yelled as the monster dragged Natsu towards it and stuffed him in his mouth.

"Oh no!", said a worried Sulley.

"Natsu!", shouted Happy.

Seeing Natsu in trouble, Wendy ran towards the monster in a hurry.

"Wendy!", shouted Charle.

Multiple hands then came out of the monster and surrounded the area, most of them were in front of the monster.

"Sky Dragon's Roar!"

A huge blast of wind came out of Wendy's mouth. The wind blew all of the black goop away from the group, it was also strong enough to blow some black goop off of the monster, releasing Natsu and showing the metal part on its head.

"Thanks, Wendy.", said Natsu.

"Sora-san, strike the metal piece!", she shouted. "The goop came from it, so it must be destroyed!"

"Got it!", Sora responded by charging towards the monster.

The monster summon more hands and blasted ice and fire, but Natsu and Gray counter the attacks with their magic. The monster attempted to grab Sora but Wendy blew the hands away with a swipe of her hands. Sora jumped into the air and stabbed the metal part with his Keyblade, making it grown in pain.

The Unversed then dissolved into the black goop, making a large mess on the floor along with metal parts and scream tanks.

A frustrated Randall quickly came to the monster and examine it. "Whyyy?!", he shouted very angrily while kicking it.

Mike then notice a brown wooden door with purple cracks coming out of it and there was a red light on top that is currently on. He then grabbed Sulley's attention and started making gestures about his plan. At first he was confused, but then Sulley realizes what he meant and began to run towards Randall.

"Where are you going-", asked Donald until Goofy covered his mouth.

When Randall turned and saw Sulley, he gasped while Sulley gave a huge monster roar at him.

Back at the Door Vault, the group was about to send Randall back were he came from.

Mike open the door and said, "All right, and in ya go."

"And don't you ever come back!", said Natsu.

Boo roar at Randall while Sulley said, "There's no place for you here anymore, Randall. Now we're in the business of making children laugh."

Boo then giggled upon hearing that.

An angry Randall responded by saying, "You think it's funny?"

"Totally.", said Gray.

Mike then put his hand on Randall's back and said, "Hilarious! The more that you whine the funnier it gets."

"I'm laughing right now!", said Happy.

Randall growled with annoyance but then sighed. He then pushed Mike and headed straight towards the door.

"Enjoy your extended vacation.", said Sulley.

"You'll need it.", said Natsu.

As he entered the door, Randall said, "You clowns are gonna be sorry when I find my way back and I finally take over this place!"

The group then heard voices from the door.

"Mama, that gator's in the house again!", said a boy surprising Mike.

"Are you kidding?!", said an annoyed woman, probably the mother. "Oh, this time, he's in for it."

The woman then started to hit something at Randall, causing him to yell in pain while the group laughed at him from outside the door.

"Hey, hit him with a bat!", shouted Natsu.

"No, a hammer!", shouted Happy.

"Thanks, whoever you are!", said the boy.

Randall then screamed in pain while Mike shutted the door with satisfaction. "So long! Smell ya later.", he said.

Sulley then came up to the door and said, "And now we just need to do one last thing." He then made a fist and was prepared to punch the door.

Sora then came up and said, "Hang on! I have a way to lock him out."

He then summon his Keyblade and pointed it at the door. A light then came from the tip of the Keyblade and blasted it at the door, showing a large Keyhole on it and making a lock sound, surprising Mike, Sulley, and Boo with awe. Upon locking, the door then disappeared.

"And that takes care of that.", said Donald.

"That was some ride, huh?", said Wendy.

"Yeah.", said Sulley. "But, let's end this."

Everyone, except Natsu, Wendy, Gajeel, and their Exceed partners, got onto a door.

"Okay, Boo. Time to go home.", said Sulley. "You must be tuckered out, but we'll play together real soon."

Suddenly, there was a large noise and the doors that everyone was on started to move, surprising everyone.

"Who is moving the doors?", asked Wendy.

"I don't know.", said Mike.

The doors then move towards one direction: The Laugh Floor.

Everyone then started to laugh while Mike yelled, "What now?!"

When they entered the Laugh Floor, the doors were brought down and everybody got off.

"Why are we back here?", asked Erza.

Suddenly, someone wearing a black coat appeared and walked towards the group.

"An Organization member!", said a surprised Lucy.

"Who are you?", asked Sora.

Natsu then gave a sniffed and then said, "I can smell Xehanort…" He then sniffed again. "But I can smell Sora on him." He then said, with shock, "Did you and Xehanort made love?!"

"That's a stupid ass question!", Sora responded angrily.

"Gotta say, that strange facade had me fooled at first, brother.", he said as he removed his hood, revealing a black mask covering his entire face.

"Bother?!", said everyone with shock.

"Wait a sec…", said Sora as he examine him. He then gasped. "Oh yeah! You were at the cathedral!"

"Kardia Cathedral?", asked Wendy.

"No, a different one. And hey! Who are you to call anyone strange?"

Goofy then faced Donald and asked, "Say, do we know this guy?"

"Uhh…", said an unsure Donald.

"We haven't ever met in the flesh.", said the boy. "I am Vanitas."

Donald and Goofy gasped.

"This is the part where you spout some mumbo jumbo and disappear, right?", said Sora.

"Cause you guys do that a lot.", said Juvia.

"This whole world...was powered by scream.", said Vanitas as he walked over to a nearby desk.

"I guess that answers your question.", sighed Happy.

Vanitas continue speaking. "They converted the screams of human children into energy." He then grabbed a scream tank. "And this very company was what made it all happen." He then walked towards the group with the tank. "It's as rich a source of negative emotion as we'll ever find."

"For the last time, we already stopped doing that!", yelled Mike.

"Did you? Then how do you explain all these canisters of surplus scream?"

"You're the one who did it!", said Natsu.

"This facility was everything I could hope for. And I was lucky enough to find a pawn whose heart was darkened by thoughts of revenge."

"You mean Randall.", said Mike.

"All Randall ever cared about was winning.", said Sulley. "And this guy took advantage of that weakness."

"My heart is made of just one thing.", said Vanitas. "And the Unversed collected enough screams and sadness from those children to reconstruct it."

"Yeah, and the whole time they were trashing our company in the process!", said an angry Mike as he was about to fight Vanitas, but Sulley stopped him. He continued to struggle though.

"That bastard!", said an angry Gajeel.

"But, even with all this negative emotion, my heart is still incomplete. I need something else.", said Vanitas as he dropped the tank onto the ground, causing it leak scream energy out of it and sending it flying. Everyone dodged before they could get hit.

Everyone then watched as the tank flew into the air until it landed in front of Sora's feet.

"The half of me that sleeps on…" Vanitas summon his Keyblade and pointed it directly at Sora's face. Sora turned and gasped. "inside of your heart."

"Vanitas!", said Sora, but his voice was different when he said it, making him confused.

"Did Sora's voice sound a little different?", asked Lucy.

"It did.", said Laxus.

"Ventus…", said Vanitas mockingly. "What a strange place to slither off to…" He then slowly walk towards Sora and reach out to him with his hand. "you insignificant speak."

Sora responded by slapping his hand away from him very angrily. "What are you talking about?", he asked demandingly.

"Oh, you wouldn't remember."

Meanwhile, Mike, Sulley, and Boo were sneaking behind desk to get closer to Vanitas.

"When you were little...you formed a special bond, with a boy named Ventus who joined with your heart."

"Ven!", said Donald.

"Did he say Ventus?", asked Juvia.

"What does he mean 'joined with your hearts'?", asked Lily.

"Is he sayin' that one of the missing Keyblade wielders is inside Sora's heart?", question Goofy.

"How is that possible?", wondered Sora.

"You took the words right out of my mouth.", said Lucy.

Dark energy swarmed around Vanitas. He then said, "Now, you will return Ventus to me."

"You stay away from him!", said Charle.

Darkness spread around Vanitas.

"Everyone, get ready!", said Erza. "We got a fight on our hands!"

Suddenly, Sora clenched his fists against his heart, as he is feeling incredible pain. He yelled and kneeled onto the floor.

"Sora!", shouted the mages worriedly.

Sora looked up and saw Donald and Goofy in front of him, protecting him from Vanitas' dark energy while Lucy and Juvia came over to him.

"Donald... Goofy…", he said weakly.

"The King told us about this.", said Goofy. "Ventus wasn't able to defeat Vanitas. They struck each other down, and then the King said that Ventus's heart never returned to him!"

"No way…", said both Lucy and Juvia.

"You're not gonna do that to Sora!", said Donald. "No way!"

Donald and Goofy then blasted the energy back at Vanitas.

"Stay out of this.", said Vanitas as he swiped his hand into the air and summon a strong black wind that knocked everyone, except Sora, away.

"Sora!", shouted everyone.

"Stop this!", said Wendy as she grab onto Vanitas and tried to pull him away.

Vanitas responded by hitting her, making her fall to the ground.

"Wendy!"

"I said stay out of this, kid.", said Vanitas.

"How could strike a defenseless girl!", said an angry Charle.

"I have business to take care of."

"Damn you!", shouted Natsu.

"Gravity!"

Everyone then felt intense pressure and pain.

"My body…", said Lucy who was in pain.

"Juvia can't...move it.", said Juvia who was also in pain.

Sora slowly got onto his feet and pointed his Keyblade at Vanitas. But Vanitas easily hit it out of his hands and pointed his Keyblade at Sora's neck.

"Join your heart...with mine!" Vanitas summon more dark energy and was prepared to attack Sora.

But, a giant figure appeared behind Vanitas, it was Sulley. Vanitas gasped and turned.

"Made you look.", he said before he gave him a monster roar. Boo covered her eyes while Mike covered her ears.

Vanitas dropped his Keyblade and everyone was able to stand. They then saw Sulley holding Vanitas with his two hands while Vanitas was struggling.

"Let me go!", he demanded while he was struggling.

"That's it! Get him!", said Happy.

A few doors then appeared on the floor next to Mike.

"Over here, Sulley!", said Mike as he open on of the doors.

Sulley immediately ran over to the door and threw Vanitas into the door.

"Close it! Quick!", said Sulley.

Mike immediately close the door and Sulley pull the door off of the floor. Mike then ran over and open the next door, which Sulley threw the previous into that door. They did it a few times until the last door was shredded into a machine. Both of them high five each other and high five Boo.

"I wonder where he went.", said Happy.

"Who cares.", said Gray.

"But won't people wonder where those doors came from?", asked Gajeel.

"Let's not worry about that now.", said Erza.

"That was awesome!", said Sora.

"Thank you!", said Donald.

"We owe ya.", said Goofy.

"No, we should be thanking you.", said Sulley. "We never woulda managed to get Boo this far if you hadn't come along to help."

"And finally, we found her door.", said Mike.
"Wendy, are you okay?", asked Charle.

"I'm fine.", she said.

Sora then went up to Boo and said, "Boo, I know how excited you were to come and play with Mike and Sulley. Sorry we dragged you into this."

"I don't she minds, Sora-san."

"Watch it!", said Donald You're gonna scare her with that face!"

"Hey, you are way scarier.", Sora responded.

"Gawrsh, I think you're both scary.", said Goofy.

"I think those guys are scary.", said Happy as he pointed at Natsu, Erza, Gajeel, and Laxus. Everyone then laughed.

Sulley then came up to Boo and said, "Okay, Boo. Time to go."

"Kitty…", said a disappointed Boo.

"We'll catch up soon, kid.", said Mike.

"Mike Wazowski!" She was looking at Donald, making him stun.

"No, that's Donald, Boo."

She then ran up to Mike and hugged him. He was surprised, but he smiled and hugged her too.

"Better. I'll see ya, kid."

"Dragon!", said Boo as she ran up to Wendy and hugged her.

"Thank you, Boo.", she said.

Boo then headed towards her door with Sulley.

"Boo!", said everyone.

She turn and saw that some of them gave a funny face while saying, "So looong!"

She laughed and then waved goodbye before entering her room.

Everyone then entered the lobby.

"Sorry for all the headaches was caused.", said Sora.

"Don't mention it.", said Sulley. "And actually, it was kinda nice havin' a little adventure for old times' sake."

Mike nodded. "Yeah, the flying and the falling-and hey, let's not do that paint thing again-but nothin' like running for our lives to get the heart pumping!"

"Hell yeah!", said Natsu.

"I had a great time.", said Donald.

"Donald! All you did was complain!", said Sora.

"I did not."

"Sure you did.", said Gray and Happy.

"Any chance that we can drop by again?", asked Goofy.

"The door's always open.", said Mike.

"And maybe Boo can join us!", said Sulley.

"That sounds like fun!", said Wendy.

"I wanna fight you the next time we meet!", said Natsu.

"Alright.", said Sulley.

Everyone then shook hands with Mike and Sulley.

"Good-byeee!", said everyone as they headed towards the exit.

"For the record, I still get the most laughs!", said Mike.

"Happy exterminating!", said Sulley.

"Thank you!", said everyone.
