Chapter 3 – Reunion at Hollow Bastion
(The Ocean Between)
Having left the Mysterious Tower, Stardash Ship exited the blue portal and were now flying in the Ocean Between searching for Hollow Bastion, Sora's last known location. They soon spot Hollow Bastion ahead of them.
(Stardash Ship – Cockpit)
"There it is. Hollow Bastion." Taiyo said.
"Let's go in there." Votus uttered.
Taiyo used his Teleport spell on himself and others to enter Hollow Bastion.
(Hollow Bastion – Marketplace)
Taiyo and others have arrived and looked around their surroundings and found themselves near a town. The Moogles are flying to carry the crates for materials to build and sell items and people are at work trying to rebuild the town.
They soon gaze at the castle in front of them in the distance which was amid rebuilding.
"Here we are. The Hollow Bastion." Taiyo replied.
"Hold on a sec? You used the Teleport spell to get us here?" Utopia asked.
"I was about to say the same question." Luigi scoffed.
"Sorry, but I was going to teleport with you all for the shortcut." Taiyo said.
"Taiyo, I know you are excited to see Sora. Do not let your guard down because some Heartless and Nobodies will be ambushed us." Mario firmly warned.
"Okay. I get that." Taiyo sighed.
Taiyo and his team move down into the market area and looked around to see if they could spot Sora.
"Sora has to be somewhere in this world. He could very well be in this town." Taiyo uttered.
"How do you think we'll find Sora in this area?" Geno asked.
The group remained silent until suddenly, something on the ground catches Taiyo's sight. His eyes laid upon Kairi's stars-shaped lucky charm, the Wayfinder. Taiyo kneeled down to the ground and picks it up in his right hand. He then rises back up while the rest of the group gathered around to look at the lucky charm.
"What is it?" Votus asked.
Taiyo looked upon the lucky charm, remembering what it was.
"I have just seen it before from the Destiny Islands. This is Kairi's lucky charm. But what's it doing here?" Taiyo asked.
"Kairi was safe in the Destiny Islands. Maybe she must give it to Sora." Geno replied.
Looking down at the Wayfinder, Taiyo noticed that Sora's face was sketched on the charm. This made him a relieved smile and an idea came into Taiyo's mind.
"I knew he was here somewhere. I can feel it." Taiyo determined before he turned to others. "Does anybody can detect this charm and followed the traces of Sora?
"I do." Yoshi walked over to Taiyo. "I have an excellent sense of smell so I can track Sora."
"Brilliant. Go ahead." Taiyo gleamed before he gave Kairi's charm to Yoshi.
Yoshi smelt deeply upon the charm and soon caught Sora's scent.
"I think we got him. This lucky charm has Sora's scent on it. I can make out his scent. He was here, not so long ago. His scent is still fresh." Yoshi replied.
"Can you lead us the way to Sora?" Mario asked.
"Sure. Follow me." Yoshi nodded before he ran off to the next area.
They followed the green dinosaur further through the town, searching for Sora. The trail leads the group down a set of stairs into the Borough.
(Hollow Bastion – Borough)
Once Taiyo and his team made it to the Borough.
"It's almost there, guys." Yoshi said.
Suddenly, the group stopped as they see the strange light pillars appearing and disappearing around them as though they were scanning for something.
"What is this?" Utopia asked.
"I don't know." Taiyo said.
As they searched around them, Luigi sees something lurking behind Taiyo.
"Taiyo! Watch out!" Luigi urged.
A Dusk came out of nowhere and attacks Taiyo from behind before he quickly turned around and saw the Dusk flying towards him. He quickly summoned his Warrior's Key in a flash of white light and cleaves through the Dusk with a right slash, making it disappear in a flash of light.
More Dusks and Creepers surrounded the group as Mario summoned his Ignition Flower and Luigi, Yoshi, Geno, Votus, and Utopia were posed their fighting stances.
"We fought them before, haven't we?" Geno asked.
"Yeah, it was the same Nobodies." Mario replied.
"Let's show them what we're made of." Taiyo said.
Taiyo lunged his Keyblade at a Dusk, hitting it with a direct hit. He then followed up with a downward slash, left slash, and finished with an upper slash, sending the Nobody back into oblivion. Two Dusks try to attack Taiyo at once, but he sliced through both of them with a wide right slash. Then he saw a single Dusk charging at him before Taiyo used the Thundaga spell to disintegrate it.
Utopia was shooting at the four Dusks with his magical beams and vaporized them in limbo. Two Creepers were shapeshifting into the two lances before they propelled at the Prince of Justice and he dodged out of the way as he ignited the Unicornus Horn Blade before both of them quickly changed into the hexagonal shield, but Utopia already took them out.
Votus using his shield to block against the three Creepers in their sword forms before he shoved them to the wall and smashed them into white bits of light. Then a Dusk wrapped around Votus, restraining him from moving before he plunged against it with his shield, finishing it off.
Mario was fighting at the two Dusks and finishing them off in the quick right and left slashes. Then he turned towards at the two Creepers that morphed them into the wings.
"Fire Raid!" Mario called, igniting his Keyblade in flames and tossed at the two Creepers which exploded them.
Luigi was punching and kicking at the Dusk before another one of them sneaked behind him and attacked him as Luigi stumbled to the ground. Then another Dusk showed up and they cornered Luigi.
"Shock Slam!" Luigi yelled.
Luigi banged his hands on the ground, sending the electric shockwave to zap them before destroying them in a flash of light.
Yoshi jumped up to the air before plunging to the ground, using the Ground Geo technique to impale through three Dusks with the stone precipices. A Creeper tried to attack Yoshi with its sword form, but he caught it in his hands before he tossed the Creeper to the ground and stomped it repeatedly until it destroyed.
Geno was shooting at the four Creepers and three Dusks with his Borealis Blast before they were disintegrated. Then the Dusk dashed forward at Geno who managed to avoid from its flexible strike and retracted his Photon Blade from his left forearm before he sliced through its body as the Dusk exploded in a burst of light.
After fighting valiantly, the Nobodies were defeated.
"Oh my gosh!"
They heard a female voice and turned at the young woman who jumped down from a nearby staircase, landing in front of the group.
Yuffie is a spirited ninja and traveled with Leon (Squall). Her eyes were violet, and her forehead guard is black headband with white lining. She wears an unzipped, dark grey combat vest with a black strap dangling from the right pocket overtop a navy-blue tank top with white floral designs. She wears a white wristband on her right wrist and a grey, fingerless glove on her left arm. Her shorts are slightly darker and have another black strap dangling from the left side. Yuffie also wears black, over-the-knee socks with white stripes at the top underneath dark tan sneaker boots that are knee-high in length.
"Are you really Taiyo?" Yuffie asked.
"How did you know my name?" Taiyo asked.
"Your friend Sora told me so much about you. I am Yuffie by the way." Yuffie introduced himself.
Mario gestured to his hand over his chest, introduced himself. "I'm Mario."
"Luigi." Luigi introduced.
"Name's Yoshi." Yoshi introduced.
"Call me Geno." Geno introduced.
"My name is Utopia Magus." Utopia replied.
"I am Votus." Votus said.
"Nice to meet you all." Yuffie replied.
"Hey, Yuffie. If you know Sora is here, can you take us to him please?" Taiyo asked.
"Sure. He's still here in town with his friends; Donald and Goofy at Merlin's house. Come with me." Yuffie uttered.
Yuffie headed deeper into the part of Borough.
"Oh yes! I can see Sora again!" Taiyo said, feeling excited.
"You hear that, Utopia? We finally get to meet Sora." Mario replied, looking at Utopia.
"Oh, that sounds delightful to hear it." Utopia responded.
"C'mon!" Luigi said.
Taiyo and his friends run to catch up with Yuffie as she led them to Merlin's House. They soon caught up with Yuffie and they all stand in front of Merlin's house. They headed inside the house.
(Merlin's House)
Taiyo and others saw where six people were standing near a computer.
"Hey, guys!" Look who came into town!" Yuffie replied.
The six people turn from the computer to look at Taiyo and his companions. Out of the group of people, Taiyo immediately noticed Sora.
When Taiyo saw Sora again, he saw he was wearing different clothes. Sora had a black and silver overjacket as well as a red and black jumpsuit underneath it. He also had black fingerless gloves and black, yellow, silver shoes. In addition, he had black, silver baggy shorts that had yellow straps. Unlike his original outfit, Sora's new outfit had many zippers and extra leggings.
"Sora!" Taiyo exclaimed.
"Taiyo!" Sora exclaimed.
Taiyo and Sora rush towards each other and embrace each other in a big hug. Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Geno, Votus, and Utopia were happy to see Taiyo reunited with his best friend, Sora. The two boys looked at each other with a smile.
"Sora, I've missed you so much." Taiyo said.
"Me too, Taiyo." Sora replied.
"Man, I've got some stories to tell you." Taiyo uttered.
"I do too." Sora replied.
"Taiyo placed his hands-on Sora's shoulders and smiled before he reached into his pocket and takes out Kairi's lucky charm.
"I think this is yours." Taiyo responded, handing Sora the lucky charm.
"Thanks, Taiyo." Sora replied.
Sora's friends, Donald and Goofy noticed Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi.
"Gwarsh! It's Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi!" Goofy excited.
"Yeah!" Donald said before he and Goofy rushed towards them.
Donald hugged Yoshi tightly and Goofy hugged both Mario and Luigi.
"Hello, Donald and Goofy. We meet again." Mario replied.
"Yeah, we totally missed you, guys!" Goofy replied.
"Hold on, guys. You know each other?" Sora asked.
Donald and Goofy pulled away from Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi.
"Well, Donald and Goofy were our best pals when we first met in the Disney Castle. Mario challenged King Mickey for sparring and in fact, he is the Keyblade wielder like you." Luigi replied.
Sora was surprised to hear this.
"No way, he is another Keyblade wielder?!" Sora exclaimed.
"Yes, however, King Mickey beats him which makes him the second strongest fighter." Yoshi replied.
"Wow, I had no idea." Taiyo surprised.
"Well, I kinda lost in the fight but we're just friends." Mario said.
"That's too bad. He needs some training." Donald replied.
"So, their names are Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi? What about those three?" Sora asked.
"These are my friends, Geno, Votus, and Utopia Magus." Taiyo gestured to the three others.
"Whoa!" Sora amazed.
"Please to meet you, Sora." Votus replied.
"It's a real pleasure." Geno said.
"Whoa! It's really nice to see you." Utopia flew over to Sora.
"What are you? Some kind of Pegasus with a horn?" Sora asked.
"It is an Alicorn, a mixed-race of Unicorn and Pegasus." Yoshi said.
"Cool." Sora admired. "Hey, how about I introduce you to my friends?"
Sora gestured his hand over to his companions. "This is Donald and Goofy."
"Howdy there." Goofy greeted.
"Hi." Donald said.
Yuffie stepped in and introduced Taiyo and his friends to Leon and the gang.
"Let me introduce you to them. This Leon, Aerith, and Cid." Yuffie replied.
Leon is the leader of both Heartless Resistance and the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee. He had his blue eyes; a lighter shade of brown shorter hair and his bangs sweep to the left side of his face in the same manner as his hair in Final Fantasy VIII and bears distinctive scar which runs diagonally across the bridge of his nose. He wears black gloves with belts on them, black, zipper-lined shoes, a silver Griever necklace, and a white undershirt that his Final Fantasy VIII incarnation had, and his short, black jacket is similar. Leon's jacket is short-sleeved and white fur collar, whereas Squall's sleeves were quite baggy, bears red wings on the back, presumably similar to Rinoa's duster, and has a red Griever symbol on his left shoulder.
Aerith is an ally of Leon and Yuffie and an active support role with them in the defense of Hollow Bastion. Her hair is long and styled into a braid down her back with curls on either side of her face. Her green eyes and ribbon are much brighter, while her boots are a paler brown. Aerith now wears a carmine pink and white top held up by a string that wraps around her neck. Underneath this top, Aerith wears a double layer flare skirt. The top layer is light pink with a white stripe while the bottom layer is plain white.
Cid is another member of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee and computer expert. His short hair is blond, albeit styled a bit differently and much brighter. His eyes are blue, and he has some stubble on his chin. Cid chews on a toothpick. He wears a white T-shirt with two buttons descending from the neck. His baggy pants are blue and have a very wide, orange waistband with thin, vertical stripes on it. Cid's pants are worn rather high, with the waistband coming up to just under his ribcage, similar to the way he wore them in the Final Fantasy VII games. He also wears grey socks and black shoes. He retained his goggles and wears a necklace with a rectangular charm that resembles one he wore in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
"Nice to meet you." Aerith greeted.
"Howdy." Cid greeted.
Leon just nodded and give a little greeting wave at him.
Sora noticed Taiyo that he grew older than him from before.
"Taiyo, you have grown taller than me. Wow. What happened to you?" Sora asked.
"It's a long story, I was just training with the others." Taiyo said.
"Taiyo, where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you." Sora replied.
"Sora, you might wanna sit down. It's kind of a long story." Taiyo responded.
Over the next couple of minutes, Taiyo began telling the story of his adventures.
First, he starts off with his adventures in Dawn Mane Town where he met Luigi and Yoshi as his new companions. Next, he starts telling of his journey throughout many worlds including Toy Box, Hyrule, Monstropolis, Metroville, Reefside, Lylat System and The World of Pokemon. During his journey, Taiyo and others helped the allies including Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Link, Impa, Sulley, Mike Wazowski, Arachnid-Warrior and his other superheroes, Tommy Oliver, Justin Blake, Star Fox Team, Krystal, Ash Ketchum, Pikachu, Gary, Cross, Alain, Mairin, Mewtwo, and other Legendary Pokemon. As the quest had been progressed, Taiyo spoked about Geno who was sacrificed himself to send Ganondorf into the Realm of Darkness and shattered into parts that led him, and his team finds the parts of Geno to rebuild him. He even told of Snide and Demise who were supposed to be the very powerful enemies until he and Mario defeated them in an epic battle.
After that, Taiyo said that he and his companions were crashed into the world of Equestria where met Utopia Magus, Twilight Sparkle and her friends including Mane Five, Spike, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Tempest Shadow, Grubber, Malleo, Guralph, Talpa, Angelus, Capper, Tawny, Captain Celaeno and her pirates, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Prince Starswift, Primus Albert, Chancellor Gladio, Greyback, Strife, Katherine, Halcon, Aero Wingsman, Dusty Paws, Vixella, King and Queen of Abyssinians, Dragon Lord Ember, Thorax, Pharynx and other ponies. He also said that Lord Vastatus was going to conquer the land of Equestria by possessing the Ruin Orb, so he and his reinforcement went into the epic battle before facing the Dark Ogre. And after vanquishing Lord Vastatus, he said that he was grown as a reward from Rosalina which given him improved his skills and age. Soon after the celebration, he said he was left on the journey to find Sora and Riku along with new two teammates; Utopia and Votus. And finally, Taiyo finished his story with him and his friends arriving at Twilight Town and meeting Master Yen Sid at the Mysterious Tower, before coming here to Hollow Bastion.
Afterwards, Taiyo told Sora about Fusoya and Rosalina that he was related to them as his grandfather and mother. He also told about that he was one of the Keyblade Rangers in order to protect the Omni worlds from the Forces of Darkness and balanced between the Light and Darkness.
Sora couldn't believe his ears, even Donald and Goofy were surprised to hear that Taiyo is now the Keyblade Sun Ranger.
"Wow. Sounds like you've been through a lot. And what about the Keyblade Rangers?" Sora replied.
"Gwarsh, we heard about the Keyblade Rangers before." Goofy replied.
"You do?" Sora asked.
"His Majesty said that they are six Keyblade Rangers united together to fight the evils. Then we found him." Donald answered.
"Well, allowed me." Taiyo replied.
Taiyo touched his right armlet's jewel and glowed brightly before changed into the Keyblade Sun Morpher.
Sora, Donald, Goofy, Leon, Aerith, Yuffie, and Cid surprised by Taiyo's Keyblade Morpher.
"Whoa!" Sora, Donald, and Goofy exclaimed.
"Is that a morpher?" Goofy asked.
"It's true, he is the Keyblade Ranger after all." Leon noted.
"Sounds pretty interesting around here, huh?" Cid admired.
"This Keyblade Morpher can access from the Universal Morphin Grid, the power source to all Power Rangers." Taiyo said.
"Power Rangers?" Yuffie asked.
"They were the legendary team in history from generation to generation." Geno answered.
"That's way too cool. Now, let me tell you what I've been through." Sora replied.
Sora speaks of his adventures in the Deep Jungle, Wonderland, Halloween Town, Monstro, The Olympus Coliseum, Agrabah, and Neverland. He told Devon about the people he had met along his journeys such as Tarzan, Alice, Jack Skellington, Pinocchio, Hercules, Aladdin, Peter Pan, and Tinkerbell. He then proceeded to tell Devon of the enemies he had fought such as Clayton, Hades, Oogie Boogie, Jafar, Captain Hook, and Maleficent. He even spoke of Ansem who he said was a very powerful enemy. He also told Devon about he had been to Hollow Bastion before and that he had seen Riku and Kairi.
"Well, I guess we've both had our share of amazing adventures." Taiyo admitted.
Sora and Taiyo both laughed.
"There seem to be Nobodies in this world. And I'm sure there are Heartless running around too. Is there a problem?" Taiyo said.
"Hollow Bastion's got a problem… A big problem." Leon told.
"And I'm guessing the Heartless and Nobodies have something to do with it?" Mario asked.
"That's right!" Yuffie affirmed.
"Sound like you could use our help." Sora said.
"Then, let's cut to the chase. Sora, Taiyo. We were hoping you and your friends might give us a hand around here." Leon replied.
"Like we're gonna say no?" Sora asked, pounding his chest confidently.
"Hm. I forgot who I'm dealing with." Leon uttered.
"Hey… what do you mean by that?" Donald asked, crossing his arms.
"Just think of it as a sort of 'Leon compliment.'" Aerith replied.
Leon walked to the door.
"Follow me to the Bailey. There's something you need to see." Leon said.
After saying that, Leon left and went outside. As soon as Leon left, a magic cloud suddenly appears out of nowhere. When the cloud subsided, a wizard in a blue robe and wearing spectacles named Merlin who stood in front of the group.
"Oh! I thought it was you. Right on time." Merlin joyed.
"It's Merlin!" Donald replied.
"Guys, I'd like you to meet Merlin. Merlin, this is my best friend, Taiyo and his friends." Sora introduced.
"Ah, so you are Taiyo. Sora told me about you. It's a pleasure to meet you and your friends." Merlin greeted.
Taiyo nodded.
Then someone opened the door as everyone turned their attention and it was the female anthropomorphic dog.
She is a slender, large-bottomed dog with short lush red hair and small snout. She wore her light blue blouse shirt with long sleeve and gold buttons attached on each wrist collars, white long jean along with blue waist cape, a brown waist strap, white and blue heels, red-framed glasses and blue headband connect to her eyeglasses that can be pushing up on top of her head.
Goofy gasped and recognized her as her lover. "Sylvia?!"
"Goofy!" Sylvia surprised before she rushed towards him and hugged him lovingly.
"My gwarsh, why are you here?" Goofy asked.
"Dad!" A male voice said before he revealed himself by running towards him and hugged.
It was Max, Goofy's biological son.
Max appears quite similar to his father, Goofy, although shorter and, of course, younger-looking. He also has spiked hair, unlike Goofy. He wears a dark grey vest with hood, a pair of dark blue knight gloves, baggy dark blue-colored jeans with brown straps around his legs and white and black boots.
"Maxie!" Goofy replied happily.
"What's going on?" Sora asked.
Sylvia and Max let go of Goofy.
"Hey, Max." Donald greeted him.
"Hi, Uncle Donald. It's good to see you here." Max replied.
"Who are they?" Votus asked.
"Guys, meet my family. Sylvia and Max." Goofy introduced.
"Hello there." Sylvia greeted.
"Nice to meet ya all!" Max said.
"Goofy, I didn't know you had the family." Sora replied.
"It was really surprising; you know." Goofy chuckled.
Max noticed Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi.
"Mario, Luigi, Yoshi. I can't believe I meet you guys." Max excited.
"You look so tall than me, kid. Last time I saw you, you were short." Mario said, gesturing his hand to measure the height.
"Goofy told us about you, Luigi, and Yoshi. And who are these new friends?" Sylvia asked.
"I am Taiyo, this is Sora, Geno, Utopia, and Votus." Taiyo said.
"Say, Sylvia. Is Max being your son?" Luigi asked.
"Actually, Goofy only has his son so I will be his fiancée." Sylvia answered.
"Fiancée? You mean you two started to engage?" Taiyo asked.
"It's been about a few years maybe?" Sylvia asked.
Goofy shrugged his shoulders and nervously chuckled.
"So how do you get here?" Donald asked.
"My future Mum and I were traveling around the worlds to find my Dad until we saw him on the Gummi Ship that went into this place and we followed them. We were so worried about him." Max said.
"And we came here to support." Sylvia finished.
Merlin cleared his throat and reminded him. "Where were we?"
"Sora, Taiyo, and the gang said they're gonna help out!" Yuffie replied.
"Splendid! We'll count on you." Merlin nodded.
"Right!" Sora, Taiyo, and their companions said.
"Did you give them the cards, dear?" Merlin asked.
"Oh." Aerith murmured.
Aerith takes out three cards and hands them to Sora.
"Here… They're presents for you. Leon thought you might like them." Aerith replied, handing the cards to Sora.
Sora takes the cards, flipped one of them over and reads the back of it. Taiyo leaned over Sora's shoulder and reads the card with his best friend.
"Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee Honorary Member!" Sora read.
"Membership cards!" Donald replied.
"Kinda cool, huh?" Goofy asked.
"You said it, Dad." Max grinned.
"Hey, thanks, Leahhh… huh?" Sora said.
The group turned around towards the door and saw that Leon was gone.
"Oh no!" We're supposed to be at the bailey." Sora urged.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy were off to see Leon at the Bailey and they left.
"Hey, Dad! Wait for me!" Max cried before he was running out of the room to catch up with his father.
"Is he always so protective of Goofy?" Yoshi asked.
"Oh, don't worry. Max will learn how to take care of himself." Sylvia said.
"Well, we better go catch up with them to the bailey." Taiyo replied.
"Wait! Before you go, I had something I want to give you." Yuffie replied, giving the membership card to Taiyo.
"Oh, thank you." Taiyo replied.
"Let's go." Utopia replied.
Taiyo, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Geno, Votus and Utopia took off from the Merlin's House.
(Hollow Bastion – Borough)
Taiyo and his team were running to the stairs as they saw Max was heading into the Bailey before its gate shut itself in front of him.
Max was trying to barge in, but the gate was sealed tight as Taiyo and his team arrived.
"It locked! Dad must have trapped in there with the others." Max said to the others.
"Oh, no." Luigi replied.
"It's okay. They must take care of the Nobodies in there." Mario said.
Nobodies suddenly appeared and attack. Most of the Nobodies were Dusks while leading them were three Samurai Nobodies and a couple of Creepers.
Taiyo, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Votus, Geno, and Utopia fight the Nobodies, even Max joined them as he unsheathed his Great Sword from his side scabbard.
"Let's take care of those fiends." Utopia replied, summoning his Unicornus Horn Blade from his horn.
Taiyo lashed at Dusk with his Keyblade by cutting through it with an upper slash. Next, he swings at another Dusk with a downward slash. One Dusk tried to attack Taiyo upfront, but he slices through it with an uppercut, performing a backflip. Then, while in the air, Taiyo brings down his Keyblade on another Dusk, smiting through it with a right slash.
A single Dusk tried to attack Taiyo from behind, but Mario jumped in and arm-locked around it. Using his Ignition Flower, Mario jabbed on the Dusk a couple of times, making it disappeared. Two Dusks tried to strike Mario from behind, but he kicked them back by performing the roundhouse kick. Mario then dashed through both Nobodies and sliced all the way from them, destroying them.
Luigi evaded from the Creepers and punched at one of them. The Creepers turned into the lance as they cleaved down on him as Luigi managed to jump away from them.
"Spark Barrage!" Luigi shouted.
Luigi sending the orbs of electricity rapidly at the Creepers before they disintegrated. Yoshi was dashing around to dodge from two Creepers and pulled out his tongue to grab one of them before smashing on the other one, using the Creeper as they both obliterated in the flash of light. Geno was shooting the yellow lasers from his fingers at the Dusks and reducing them into nothingness but light. One Creeper sneaked behind Geno before it attacked him, and he launched one of his hands as it heads straight at the Creeper which given the Nobody in the impact of its demise.
Utopia slashed at one of the Dusks which disintegrated it into the oblivion and the Samurai tried to attack the Alicorn with its blade but Votus quickly tossed his shield at the high-ranking Nobody which stunned it. Utopia took a powerful stroke on the Samurai before it sends into the oblivion.
Max was dodging from the Dusk before it twirled around the teenage canine and strikes him in the back. Max then counterattacked the Nobody by the backslash and vanquished it.
"Not a bad move, Max." Yoshi complimented.
"Thanks. I'm pretty get hanged of it." Max said.
Once Taiyo and Mario finished the last of the Dusks, they are faced with the two Samurais.
"These new ones were tougher than they look." Taiyo replied.
"Be careful about them." Mario warned.
Taiyo and Mario charged at the two Samurais before the two Nobodies dashed out of the way swiftly and countered them by slashed the two heroes. The other Samurai tried to slash Mario again, but he quickly blocked horizontally before Mario launched the fireball against its face to stun it back and attacked the Samurai with a right slash, left slash, downward slash and finished it with a thrust.
Taiyo kept dodging from the Samurai's blade slashing attacks, but the Samurai retaliated by swung its katana at him. Taiyo staggered back, feeling that he wants to get stronger. Taiyo took out the key and put it into the morpher's slot before turning it in a clockwise. Taiyo glowed in bright red and revealed himself, suited in his Keyblade Sun Ranger's armor.
Max was taken by surprise at Taiyo's morphing and filled with amazement.
"Whoa!" Max gasped.
"He is the Keyblade Sun Ranger." Utopia said.
"Totally cool, huh?" Votus asked.
"Mega cool." Max complimented.
Taiyo posed his heroic stance before he is letting out his catchphrase.
"Keyblade Sun Ranger, ready! Multiverse's protector! Never surrender to the darkness!"
Samurai tried to slash him, but Taiyo swiftly avoided from its gripping a sharp blade before he kicked it in the back. The Nobody and Taiyo were clashing each other with weapons and Taiyo took a swung of his Keyblade at the Samurai's chest vertically and punched him to the ground.
"By the name of the Golden Goddesses, give me the Power! Din's Power, unleashed!" Taiyo held out his left hand to the air.
Taiyo let out a yell as the red electric sparks flowing around himself and his hair was floating in mid-air. Taiyo dashed towards the Nobody before he vigorously strikes the Samurai in the complete quickness and headbutted into its head. The Samurai weakly dropped his guard to the ground as Taiyo powered himself up by the left fist before it ignited into fiery flame and hastened towards the high-ranking Nobody with the mighty punch into its abdomen before it exploded into the black smoke that covered the Borough.
Once the smoke was cleared, Taiyo was standing triumphantly.
"Oh my gosh. Did you see that?" Max asked.
"Yeah!" Luigi cheered.
"He has utilized the Power from the one of the Golden Goddesses." Mario admired.
"That's fascinating!" Utopia said.
"Come on, we make sure Sora and others were alright." Taiyo replied.
Having said that, he and others went to the Bailey.
(Hollow Bastion – Bailey)
Taiyo, Max, and others were relieved to see Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Leon were alright.
"What a relief!" Yoshi said.
"Max!" Goofy yelled.
"Dad!" Max uttered.
Both canines were rushed over to each other before hugging.
"Thank goodness, you are okay." Goofy said.
"Me too. If Taiyo and others weren't caught up in time, I would be in more trouble." Max replied.
"It's okay, son. You came all the way to see me. You made me worried." Goofy replied.
"Speaking of worries, you guys fought them pretty well." Luigi said.
"Thanks, I guess." Sora shrugged before turned at Taiyo and surprised to see that he was the Keyblade Sun Ranger. "Taiyo, you are incredible. Great work out there."
"No problem, my friend." Taiyo replied.
"Let's go out there, we are going to beat those Organization's butts!" Donald uttered.
Taiyo rushes out of the Bailey with Sora, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Geno, Votus, Utopia, Max, Donald, and Goofy following close behind.
"The Keyblade... a truly marvelous weapon. Were it only in more... capable hands..." A voice is heard.
Sinister voices laugh throughout the area.
"Show yourselves!" Taiyo shouted before he de-morphed back into his normal self.
Taiyo, Sora, and the gang all look above them and see a black hooded figure appear out from a dark portal. The dark figure raises his arms, and five other black-hooded figures appear from other dark portals.
"Organization XIII!" Goofy exclaimed.
"Look likes they are been showed up already." Utopia glared at them.
"Good. Now we can settle this." Sora determined.
"What a shame... and here I thought we could be friends." The first figure said.
The Organization XIII disappears into the dark portals, laughing in their voices.
"Stop!" Taiyo barked.
Taiyo rushes toward a set of stairs with his friends. Suddenly, another hooded figure appears in front of them.
"What's the big idea?" Donald snapped.
"Oopsie-daisy." The hooded figure murmured.
"Move!" Sora hollered.
"Now do you think that's polite shutting me down like that?" The hooded figure asked.
"Are you deaf or something? Get out of the way!" Max replied.
"As if! You can talk all you want, but that won't change a thing." The hooded figure said.
"Then, we're gonna make you move!" Donald yelled.
"Tell that to the goon, Uncle Donald!" Max uttered.
"See, that would work-if I were just any old dude. 'Cept I'm not. I'm with the Organization. Nothing "any old" about me." The hooded figure replied.
"Ha! Tough talk for someone who stood on the sidelines while his Nobody flunkeys did the fighting!" Sora snapped.
"Oh, dear. I think you got the wrong impression." The hooded figure taunted with wagging a finger.
"You gonna cry?!" Sora asked.
"As if! Why don't I remind you how tough the crowd you're dealing with really is?" The hooded figure replied.
Taiyo and Sora look at each other confused. The two boys quickly shake off the confusion and looked at the hooded figure with serious looks on their faces. The hooded figure laughed.
"Remind us?" Sora replied.
"That's right. He used to give me that exact same look." The hooded figure replied.
Taiyo soon realized that hooded figure was talking about Sora's Nobody but he turned silently to let the guy talking.
"Guess you can try, and psych us out by saying random stuff." Sora said.
"Gee... I just don't know." The hooded figure says spreading his arms out.
Taiyo, Sora, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Geno, Utopia, Votus, Max, Donald, and Goofy stare down the hooded figure. Soon, the hooded figure straightens up.
"Be a good boy now." The hooded figure farewell to Sora by waving his hand.
Having said that, the hooded figure disappears into the dark portal.
"Wait!" Donald yelled.
Donald charged at the hooded figure. But before he could reach him, the hooded figure disappeared.
"Nuts! He got away!" Donald replied. "That was weird." Max commented.
"Who gave him the same look?" Sora pondered to himself
"Y'know I think he was just trying to confuse ya." Goofy murmured.
"Yeah, you're right, Goofy. Only one me." Sora said.
Sylvia was coming into the Bailey and quickly hugged Goofy.
"Goofy, I knew you can protect your friends." Sylvia replied.
"No worries, honey." Goofy chuckled.
Sylvia pulled away from Goofy and glanced at Max.
"You shouldn't be going out there alone, mister." Sylvia firmed.
"Sorry, Mom." Max sighed.
"It's alright, Sylvia. He did help us out." Taiyo said.
"Yeah, he is really brave to handle those monsters." Luigi added.
"I say he is the natural-born, heroism knight." Geno admitted.
"At least I can stay out of trouble." Max muttered.
Taiyo took out his membership card, hold it out and flipped it around to look at the back. The card had the same inscription as the other cards, but it had Taiyo's name on it.
"Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee Honorary Member." Taiyo read.
Sora picked his membership card as well and gazed at the back of it to see his name on it.
"Looks like we are the members of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee." Sora murmured.
Suddenly, Taiyo and Sora's card begins to glow with light.
"Whoa!" Devon exclaimed with a surprising look.
"Huh?" Sora murmured.
At that moment, Taiyo's Warrior's Key appears in his right hand in a flash of blue light, and it started glowing white the same as Sora's Keyblade: Kingdom Key. Knowing what happens next, Sora and Taiyo take their Keyblades in both of their hands and holds them straight out.
"What's this?" Leon asked.
"Gawrsh, ya think...?" Goofy replied.
The cards begin to levitate higher into the air. A pure red-light aura enveloped Taiyo's body and red marking began to show, glowing all over Taiyo's outfit and body. A ball of light appeared on the tip of both Keyblades. Then, a crown of light appeared below Sora and Taiyo's feet. Light from the crown gusts upward and the environment around the group has changed. Taiyo, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Geno, Utopia Magus, Votus, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Sylvia, Max, and Leon were transported into a corridor of light. Sora and Taiyo's cards shot up a beam of light and a twin Keyholes appeared in the sky. Sora and Taiyo twirled their Keyblades and pointed them at the Keyholes. Taiyo and Sora's Keyblades shoots a beam of light toward the two Keyholes. The Keyholes are shining brightly with light and transported the group back to Hollow Bastion.
"Oh… Now I get it." Sora murmured.
"Me too, we unlocked the two gateways to the different worlds for ourselves." Taiyo replied.
"That's must've been the gate Yen Sid talked about." Sora said.
"Oh boy!" Donald excited.
"That's great!" Votus grinned.
"Sorry to run, Leon. But other worlds are calling." Sora replied.
Leon nodded in understanding.
"Organization XIII. They look tough. Be careful." Leon explained.
"You know we will." Taiyo replied.
"See you soon." Sora said.
"Just wait the moment there." Merlin's voice called out before he walked out of the Bailey.
"Merlin?" Mario asked.
"I was kind of bit unaware of you, Taiyo. Ever since you and your friends arrived. There's something I wanted to give you, more importantly." Merlin replied, holding out the small chest box and handed it over to Taiyo.
"What is it in there?" Sora asked.
"Open it." Merlin answered.
Taiyo opened the small crest to see the card was pictured with the oldest Star Spirit before it glowed brightly, floated into the air and transformed into the normal being. It was Eldstar, leader of the Star Spirits.
Eldstar was the leader and oldest of the Star Spirits. He has a large white mustache, white eyebrows, and dark green eyes.
Everyone was awed at the Star Spirit.
"What is that?" Donald asked.
"It is one of the Star Spirit we've been looking for." Yoshi said.
"That's correct. It's Eldstar, an elder of the Star Haven." Merlin answered.
"This is magnificent." Sylvia awed.
"It is." Utopia nodded.
"Hi, everyone. I'm Eldstar, one of the protectors of the Star Haven." Eldstar replied.
"Eldstar, do you remember me?" Mario asked.
"Of course, I remember you, Mario. Last time you meet me and the others in the Star Haven for your wishing help." Eldstar said before he noticed Taiyo.
"Ah, Taiyo. I heard very much about you. I know what your mission is; you will need to find the other six Star Spirits that scattered over across the different worlds. What is your wish?" Eldstar replied.
"My wish is to bring Dylan back into the normal person where he belonged from the darkness he corrupted." Taiyo answered.
"Dylan?" Sora asked.
"Just another friend of Taiyo." Luigi answered.
"Oh. A wise choice, Keyblade wielder. I will aid you and your friends to find the others." Eldstar said.
Eldstar glowed in white brightly before splitting up into three balls of light and straighten into Taiyo, Mario, and Luigi's chests.
"Whoa, what just happened?" Sora confused.
"Did he just split into the three balls and went into these guys?" Goofy asked.
"That's would be a waste of time, right?" Donald muttered.
"I am still inside of their bodies to regain my strength. If you need me for some advice, give me the shout so I can help you." Eldstar's voice said.
"Okay, thanks for reminding us, Eldstar." Mario replied.
"No problem at all. Remember, if the journey is getting rough, I will always be watching your backs for every step of your way. See you soon!" Eldstar's voice uttered before it faded.
"Sora, we may see each other at last but I am doing for my own mission, not yours." Taiyo said.
"So, we can meet again?" Sora asked.
"Maybe sometimes we can. You will go to the other worlds to protect from Heartless and Nobodies. My companions and I will go on a different path." Taiyo said.
"I understand. I will see you again. Try to take care of yourself." Sora replied.
"You too." Taiyo said.
Sora and Taiyo were both smiled at each other before they shake their hands.
"Maxie, stayed here with Sylvia and fight the Heartless and Nobodies for me." Goofy replied.
"I will, Dad. I can protect this place." Max nodded.
"Do not worry, Goofy. I will look after him and trained him to prepare for the threats." Leon said.
"Just be careful, Goofy." Sylvia said before she walked to Goofy and given him a small kiss on his cheek.
Goofy chuckled and blushed. "Sure thing, Sylvia. I will see you again."
"Be back here at any time, guys." Max replied.
"Well said, Max." Geno said.
"Are we ready?" Votus asked.
"Yes, we are ready." Taiyo answered.
"See ya later!" Sora said, waving his hand at them.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy teleported to their Gummi Ship.
Taiyo used the Teleport to bring himself and his friends back to the Stardash Ship.
(Stardash Ship - Cockpit)
Taiyo and others were at the cockpit as they sat down on their seats and buckled the seatbelts on. Mario turned on the system to start Stardash Ship up and running.
"Here we go!" Mario hollered.
(Ocean Between)
Stardash Ship is heading straight to the other worlds while Sora, Donald, and Goofy were onboard in Gummi Ship separated from the other heroes.
(Dark Fortress – Throne Room)
Snide's Throne Room was redesigned by Lord Fawful since Snide's demise. The two dark banners were replaced by Fawful's face symbols with red eyes. The throne chair is embedded with the metal spikes on top of it.
A strange woman covered in dark purple cloak and cape who bowed down to Lord Fawful before she raised her head at him.
"Your Lordship, you came to see me?" A woman in dark purple cloak wondered.
"I trusted you to handle the situation of Yixato. He left the Twilight Town and hiding somewhere around the worlds. This is your job now." Lord Fawful replied.
"Yes, Lord Fawful, I understand." A woman in the dark purple cloak said.
"And do not fail if you distracted, Verta." Lord Fawful replied.
"Understood." A woman named Verta nodded before she left the throne room.
(Dark Fortress – Outside)
Verta walked out from the Dark Fortress before using the teleportation magic and disappeared.
A figure with black and grey armor, black, grey, and pink boots, black, grey and pink helmet, Leech Blade bracelets and black headband with a gray Nocturnus' symbols.
"I'm coming at you, snake demon." A female figure spoked.
(Elsewhere)
The hooded members of Organization XIII sat in the white room of their hidden stronghold.
"Do my eyes deceive me? Did they really have the power to wield the Keyblade? They are nothing but mere boys." One of the figures asked.
"Give 'em a chance. It means they're straight as an arrow. They're both pure of heart. Unlike all of us here." Another black hooded figure replied.
"They had better be, or else they're worthless." Another figure said.
One of the hooded figures plays with cards, making them appear in his hand.
"I truly hope they're enjoying themselves on their adventure together. Hm-hm. Maybe they'd like a hand to determine their fate." The figure explained with an English accent, picking out one of the cards and holding it out in his other hand.
"Hey, as long as it works in our favor. We can let them do what they want for now. Then, we'll all jump in if needed." Another figure uttered.
"Those are bold words coming from you. Are you saying you'll volunteer to take care of it if things go wrong? Huh?" Another figure asked.
"What?! Me? No, you have the wrong guy. I'm not that comfortable with that." The previous figure said.
"You act as though you have a conscience. When was the last time anyone of us felt anything?" Another figure asked.
"Truer words were never spoken. Well, I suppose the fun will have to wait." The figure spoked with the cards making one of the cards disappear.
"Do you know what happens to those who lose their true purpose? Inevitably, they destroy themselves." The previous figure replied.
"Gentlemen." The lead figure called out to them.
The other five figures look toward the lead figure in the highchair above them.
"The heroes of the Keyblade have embarked on a new adventure. Make sure it is one they will remember. Now go." The lead figure commanded.
The five hooded figures disappear into the darkness while the lead figure remained alone inside the room. After the members of Organization XIII are gone, a familiar figure showed up from the Corridor of Darkness. It was Tengu!
"Ah, Tengu. My old friend. It's been for a long while." A lead figure said with a rather cold chuckle.
"The Keyblade Sun Ranger is on his assignment with his friends. Lord Fawful hired the Wario Brothers to assist Wrathnar, Ghirahim or Midbus. All is well." Tengu replied.
"Excellent. Your creator Ganondorf told you to help me to recreate our Kingdom Hearts." The lead figure replied.
"In that case, shared its power to me so I can crush Taiyo and his friends once and for all." Tengu replied.
"You will have my words. Now leave." The lead figure ordered.
"As you wish… Xemnas." Tengu replied before he disappeared into the darkness.
