Chapter 30 - Dimensional Allies Fight Back Pt.3: Yixato's Confession and Dylan's Liberation
(Hollow Bastion - Great Maw: Cavern)
After Taiyo and the others have blown away separately. Yixato, Luigi, Tommy, Keno, Sasuke, Blanca, and Verta ended up in a cavernous area.
Keno's got mad at Yixato as he strikes the few hits at him, but the former avoided getting hit.
"You dirty backstabber! Why the hell is that Axel was on your side, huh?! Answer me right now before I knock you down on your head!" Keno angrily berated him.
Luigi and Sasuke are trying their best to hold him in restraint. Yixato looked down at the ground in shame.
"You need to calm down, Keno!" Luigi urged.
"He isn't the one who helped the Organization XIII!" Sasuke replied. "Axel is not one of them!"
"And do you think I believe in lies?! Yixato is the Nobody and that makes him a spy." Keno pointed out.
"That's not true!" Luigi protested.
"Come on! He has no intention of betraying us." Yoshi pointed out.
Verta turned away from them, and Blanca watched them with her slightly uneased look.
"Should you talked to him?" Blanca asked her sister.
"I hope not for the matter." Verta scoffed.
"Please. We all know what happened back there. If it wasn't for him, we could have been failed to protect the lives." Blanca replied.
Then Tommy stepped right in and comforted Keno.
"Take it easy there. Axel defected so he can help us to defeat the enemies. And don't go hassling with him." Tommy told him.
Keno grunted, pushed Sasuke and Luigi back away.
"How come you be reasonable after Tengu blew us away? All I know he is the one who dragged us into this!" Keno said.
"Laid off! Axel is not a bad guy." Tommy replied, grabbing his collar to face him.
"You don't have to act like this. What's important to save everyone in danger? Look around you!"
Keno became surprised, growled in response knowing that Tommy was right.
"Give him a chance." Sasuke told him.
"We gotta find the others before the enemies are coming." Luigi replied.
"And I cannot let anyone down if you trusted me." Yixato murmured.
Keno sighed. "Alright. Good point."
Verta walked up to Yixato, smacked him in the back of his head.
"Ow! What was that for?" Yixato grunted.
Verta shifted into a half-snake demon form to coil him with her snake tail.
"I know who you are, Yixato! And I don't care what's your feelings are even if you're Nobody! So I do not succumb to your... your empty shell!" Verta berated, gripping on his neck.
"That's not what I meant, lady!" Yixato muttered. "Would you please be cool?"
Verta snarled deeply, leaned closer to him making Yixato grow weary on his expression.
"Oh no, what's she gonna do to him?" Luigi worried.
"Verta, please..." Blanca said.
Then she planted a kiss on Yixato's lips, smooching him in passion stunned him and the others as they heard Verta's moaning.
"Whaaaa?!" Yoshi widened his mouth and placed his hands onto his face.
"Verta..." Blanca puzzled.
"Hm. This is what I call a snake demon and Nobody's love triangle." Tommy commented with a smirk.
Luigi almost vomited, holding his mouth closed with his gloved hands.
"Guys, I think I gotta hurl...pretty much." Luigi muttered.
"Don't make me sick, Luigi." Keno said.
Verta pulled away from Yixato before they parted away from each other to breathe.
Yixato gasped softly, placing his hand on his chest in shock and confusion.
"Are you alright?" Sasuke asked.
"I... I never felt that way before. It feels warm in my chest. It is like I didn't feel anything, emotions or feelings, because I don't have a heart." Yixato explained.
"Have you remembered when Yixato almost tripped to the ground with Verta?" Yoshi asked, turning to Madame White Snake.
"Of course. Because he is Nobody without a heart but turns out he do have the emotions." Blanca said.
Yixato quickly realized when his face turned blushed.
"I had no idea. I guess I do have the heart."
"See? He was blushing." Luigi pointed out.
"Yeah, you're right. And that's means I do like her." Yixato replied as Verta caressed his face and the tail wrapped around him fondly.
"Once we find Taiyo and others, do owe an apology to me. 您听得懂吗? (Do you understand?)" Verta leaned closer to his ear with a Chinese whisper before saying the last words.
Yixato simply nodded in response despite what Verta said in the Mandarin language.
"Okay, okay, okay! Enough. I think it's hard for me to say I shouldn't judged you for that." Keno said.
"It's alright, Keno. I understand. Make it up later." Yixato murmured.
"Let's get going now." Tommy responded.
(Hollow Bastion - Great Maw)
Dylan jabbed at Taiyo who kept his guard with his Warrior's Key and swept the kick against his legs off the ground. The Dark Predator tried to thrust him, but Taiyo quickly flashed the bright light from his helmet's visor. Taiyo swung his Keyblade at him a couple of times before Dylan glowed his dark red eyes and vanished before the former gave a finishing blow. Dylan reappeared behind Taiyo to kick him, but he caught his foot and tossed him to the wall.
Taiyo rushed over to Dylan, where he crashed in the cliff's wall, but the former summoned the Tendrils of Madness through the white smoke to stop him and wrap him tightly.
"Thundaga!" Taiyo countered, cast the strong Thunder magic to zap Dylan.
The Tendrils of Madness vanished after Dylan got hit by lightning, and Taiyo performed a Strike Raid to stun him a bit. Taiyo quickly swung his Warrior's Key at him with an upper-left slash and jabbed his stomach.
Dylan grunted a bit, posed himself in the stance.
"You give me everything you got since the last time. Now, I can show you the true might of darkness!" Dylan mused.
Sean Xu dodged from Ghirahim's Demon Blades before kicking it out of his right hand.
"Gah! Such impudence!" Ghirahim growled, held his single blade.
Sean goes for the kicks while Ghirahim has blocked them and dodged the wide-ranged kick from him. He quickly slashed him across upwardly, knocking him down to the ground.
"I almost got cut." Sean grunted, doing his hand gestures. "Time to bring to the next level."
His hands have glowed with golden energy, and the clawed fists appeared on his gauntlets.
"Tianlong's Golden Claws!" Sean announced.
"Hmph. I shall break your nails too!" Ghirahim threatened.
Ghirahim rushed over at Sean as the latter swiped his Tianlong's right Golden Claw to break the enemy's sword. Ghirahim gazed at the broken Demon Blade in utter shock before turning back at him, but Sean has swiped the claws at him in the chest, shoulders, and legs before kicking him. Ghirahim got himself sent flying to the boulder and crashing through, rolling over to the ground with his body.
"Alright! I did it!" Sean said, pumping his left fist in triumphant.
Venus got himself punched by Midbus, sending her to the ground with a thud.
"Your Ranger's power will be diminished forever!" Midbus chuckled.
"Not today, pig-headed!" Venus scowled.
"Try me, girl!" Midbus smirked.
Venus stroked her Shell Breaker at Midbus as he kept blocking the strikes with his arms and took a swing at her with his tail, knocking her out.
As for Goku, he was choked by Mesogog and used his psionic force to hurt him in his head. He even dropped his Revontheus to the ground and disappeared in a flash of light.
"Is that all your power, Votus?" Mesogog asked.
"Maybe..." Goku suffocated.
Mesogog then threw Goku over to Venus, crashing them down the ground.
"Come on, Goku. You got to get up!" Venus grunted.
"I try. I couldn't do it now!" Votus muttered. "My powers are gone. It's almost drained. I didn't muster to become the Monkey King."
Both Mesogog and Midbus are stepping towards them.
Goku panted a lot before the strange red aura bursting within him, and he felt suddenly overwhelmed by a mysterious power.
"What's that?" Mesogog hissed.
"Goku? You glow in a red aura?" Venus asked.
"What's happening to me? My energy level is increasing effectively!" Goku surprised. "Now this is what I called a Kaio-Ken technique."
"Kaio-Ken?" Mesogog asked.
Midbus didn't care as he charged at the monkey. "Kaio or whatever, who cares?! I still gotta squashed you!"
Goku dramatically dodged Midbus' punch, surprising him.
"What the heck?! How did he..."
Before Midbus finished his question, Goku smashed him in the gut with a hammer-ax fist as Midbus spat out some saliva.
Mesogog and Venus have grown shocked to see that. Midbus groaned in agony and fell to the ground flatly, still clutching his stomach.
"Unbelievable!" Venus awed.
Mesogog snarled. "I'll show you! Meso Flash!"
The evil dinosaur mutant conjured his faster speed to strike him, but Goku moved out of the way, still possessed of Kaio-Ken.
Mesogog turned back to see him standing in the right.
"How could you surpass my speed?! You never dodge my attack!" Mesogog growled.
"I'm getting to feel more powerful now. This time, I can win!" Goku said, summoning his Revontheus again.
Mesogog gritted his teeth in frustration, reaching out his claws to fire a large orb of dark psionic at him.
Goku charged towards the psionic orb, teleported himself just before the dark energy ball landed him, and sliced in half after he reappeared himself. He goes into the blurry speed and strikes Mesogog with his Keyblade several times as the former have continued to slash from down, up, left, and right directions. And finally, he thrust his fist right onto his monstrous face sending him to the wall of the cliff. Mesogog has received his injuries as the cracks spread around him on the wall.
Goku took a long breath as his Kaio-Ken aura dissipated, almost falling to the ground with his knees as Venus supported him.
"Wow, Goku. Where did you get it?" Venus asked.
"Beats me. My mind was clicked right before I become exhausted. I think I am going to be okay." Goku sighed.
Dylan performed his new attack called Shadow Punisher, a duplicate of his form made out of shadow looks like him though has dark yellow eyes. They assaulted Taiyo, swiping their Keyblades at him while the Keyblade Sun Ranger struggled to block against the slashes, and two lookalikes kicked him in the gut.
Taiyo is on the ground with his left knee, gripping the Keyblade firmly. Dylan walked over to him as his duplicate form worn off and grabbed him on the throat.
"Any last words before I send you back to oblivion?" Dylan sneered.
Taiyo muttered to him. "You're my friend, Dylan. Cause I'm with you...to the end of the line."
Dylan felt bewildered before he looked at him, remembering the same words when he spoke to young Taiyo. Dylan removed his battle mask, dropped his Keyblade.
Goku, Venus, and Sean hurried to see Taiyo and Dylan.
"He's in trouble. Let's helped him!" Sean urged.
"Wait!" Venus halted him, aware that Dylan isn't trying to kill him.
"Taiyo?" Dylan puzzled.
Taiyo smiled weakly behind his helmet. "I know you remember me..."
"Oh, no. What have I done?" Dylan shamed, looked over to see the others including Venus, and gasped. "Venus?"
"You do remember me." Venus said.
Dylan dropped Taiyo to the ground and kneeled. Taiyo coughed himself to get some air.
"Dark Predator!" A voice called out.
They turned to see Lord Fawful standing on top of the cliffside.
"Why can't you finish him off? I command you!" Lord Fawful ordered.
Dylan shook his head in refusal. "I don't need you anymore."
"So be it!" Lord Fawful grimaced, holding out his right hand at Dylan.
Dylan clutched his head as the black aura veiled all around him.
"What is he doing to him?" Goku asked.
"Lord Fawful is controlling him!" Taiyo said, rushing over to Dylan. "Dylan! Fight back against the darkness! Fight back!"
"No! Do not listen to him! Come over to the darkside." Lord Fawful obeyed.
Dylan cried in pain as Taiyo called out to Goku and Venus.
"Goku! Venus! Let's combine the power of light to shed the darkness away from him!"
They both nodded after understanding the situation about Dylan, readied their Keyblades before they glowed.
The three of them pointed across the tips of their weapons and summoned the bright light beam directly at Dylan and enveloped him as well, causing him to suffer his intense agony.
"No! No, no, no!" Lord Fawful was shocked. "That light is too much! Too bright!"
The force of light has pushed Lord Fawful away from them, sending him flying over the land.
The aura of darkness dissipated completely, as well as the symbol of Heartless on his bionic right arm was gone, and Dylan fainted on the ground.
"We did it! We saved him!" Venus smiled.
Goku and Taiyo walked over to Dylan, placing his left hand on his shoulder.
"Dylan..." Goku sighed.
"Don't worry about him." Taiyo said. "He is now freed from being control."
Mesogog, Ghirahim, and Midbus realized that Dylan was no longer in control by the darkness.
"Impossible!" Ghirahim shouted.
"This is bad! Dark Predator is now with them! What are we gonna do?" Midbus asked.
"Let's retreat for now... We must report to Ganon." Mesogog snarled as he, Ghirahim, and Midbus were teleporting away in the dark mist.
Just then, Mario, Geno, Utopia, Natus, Chopsuey, Trug, Kenji, Atsuko, and Snow Fang have arrived here swiftly.
"Taiyo!" Utopia called.
The four allies directed their attention at the group as Taiyo rushed over to Mario and shared a hug.
"I knew you found us!" Taiyo said.
"Thank god, you're safe!" Mario sighed, pulling away from the Keyblade Sun Ranger. "Are you alright?"
"Still hurt. But I'm gonna be fine now." Taiyo said, de-morphed himself.
"Um. Didn't you just beat him?" Chopsuey thumbed back at Dylan.
Snow Fang noticed Dylan who had been laid down on the ground before growling in response.
"Dark Predator."
Mario turned back at Dylan. "Is he alive?"
Snow Fang came over at Dylan but Venus and Goku blocked his way.
"Wait, don't! Dylan is no longer evil. We manage to free him from his corruption of darkness." Goku responded.
"Is that true?" Snow Fang doubted.
"You mean you guys defeated him?" Atsuko asked.
"Yep, we did. That was the good news." Venus replied.
"Are you saying that you three have got rid of the dark source from him?" Mario asked.
"I will check to see." Geno said.
Geno stepped towards Dylan and placed his wooden palm on his head, the bright yellow aura glowing around him. He sensed the small trace of darkness lying within his heart and quickly pulled away from his hand.
"Just as I expected." Geno said.
"What is it?" Kenji asked.
"Dylan is now no longer sided with the dark forces." Geno answered, relieving the group. "But there is a small trace of darkness within his heart."
"You mean he is going to get himself corrupted again?" Taiyo asked, growing concerned.
"Do not worry. It is not powerful enough to take over him. I can assure you." Geno said.
"Good." Mario said. "We take him to safety as soon as we find the guys."
"You don't have to. I will take it from here."
The group looked up to see Mortu.
"Mortu!" Snow Fang said.
Mortu jumped off the cliff and landed on the ground behind Dylan.
"I can take him back to safety." Mortu said, carrying Dylan over his shoulder.
"Thank you, Mortu." Mario said.
"Hold up a sec. Mesogog mentioned the Key of Destiny. Tell us about it." Goku replied.
Mortu looked over to Goku, sighed.
"I'll see you all later. I can tell you when after this." Mortu responded before jumping over to the cliff and leaving.
"Mario, did you know anything about the Key of Destiny? Because Ganondorf must know about the location of that key." Taiyo uttered.
"I'm not quite sure to tell you but I only hear in the Gerudo myth. The Key of Destiny was crafted by the ancient sages from lands of Gerudo, it was impossible that no one ever knows about the legendary artifact." Mario explained.
"Is the Key of Destiny was actually the Keyblade?" Kenji asked.
"Yes..." Mario answered.
"I wonder why Ganondorf needs the Key of Destiny. Should he be after the Destiny Orbs?" Chopsuey asked.
"Possibly." Mario shrugged. "I guess."
"What could be important to them?" Kenji asked.
"Look, how about we settled things later? We need to regroup with Luigi and others." Utopia said.
"Agreed." Atsuko said.
Taiyo and others headed out beneath the cliffs.
(Crystal Fissure)
They have made it to the Crystal Fissure and see Yixato, Luigi, Tommy, Keno, Sasuke, Blanca, and Verta have already arrived.
"Yixato, Luigi, Tommy, Keno, Sasuke, Blanca, and Verta. You all made it!" Natus replied as the separate group came over to them.
"Are you all doing okay?" Luigi asked.
"We are okay. Taiyo, Sean, Venus, and Goku are having a hard time in an ambush with the villains." Mario responded.
"We manage to knock them down." Sean answered.
"Woo. They are almost onto these guys." Luigi murmured.
"What about Max and Sylvia? Didn't you seen them?" Keno asked.
"No. We haven't found them. They're still out there." Atsuko answered.
Lana appeared between the two groups with Max and Sylvia.
"Found them!" She said in a sing-song tone.
"Lana?" Yoshi asked.
"Sorry for being late, I could be gone in time to help you out in the battle but I brought these two toon dogs here." Lana replied sheepishly.
"Glad you guys are okay." Sylvia said.
"What about Sora, Donald, and Goofy? What is going to happen to them?" Yixato concerned.
"You wouldn't need to worry. Maleficent just got here to save them." Max answered.
"Seriously? Why would she helped the good guys?" Sasuke asked.
"Probably for the reasons. I got here in time to save these two and Maleficent let me buy her time." Lana answered.
"A witch still seeks a vengeance on Sora." Natus replied.
"That's it?" Taiyo puzzled.
"Yeah." Lana nodded.
"My Dad is still with Donald and Sora. We got to go back now!" Max urged.
"But Max. It's too dangerous. There's no way we can save them." Tommy said.
"He's right. I don't want to lose you and Goofy." Sylvia murmured.
"We are not sure if they haven't made it to survive." Natus replied.
"How did Axel work for Riku? Do you know where he is?" Blanca gives a question to Yixato.
"I may know he is alive but I'm not telling you where he is. If I told you where he has been found, it gotta be a lot of trouble getting yourself involved." Yixato said.
"I don't get it. Why can you trust him?" Venus asked.
"Axel is the one who will help to fight against the Organization XIII. I know he is always sneaking around but I trust him." Yixato said.
"I am Trug." Trug nodded.
"Of course, we are trusting you. You started this, you're our leader." Chopsuey replied. "We are not really mad, to be honest."
"We couldn't be such regretful but we understand that as well. You should be the one who leads the team." Blanca said.
"Thanks, Blanca." Yixato smiled and turned to Verta. "I returned my apology to you."
"That would be all, my love." Verta replied, moved over to him, and leaned her head against his chest.
"Aww... They're in love." Atsuko cooed.
"Yuck." Chopsuey sticking out his tongue.
"This is what you said about love?" Natus asked.
"She reminds me of Sari." Geno replied.
"Next time, don't let us get discomfortable." Yoshi said.
"Lana. You still haven't told us about Sora, Donald, and Goofy. What happened to them? Are they okay?" Taiyo asked.
"If I want to tell you, I just don't know." Lana sighed. "I'm very sorry."
Taiyo took a deep breath, feeling the regret of losing Sora again.
"Hey, hey." Utopia replied, trotted over to the human. "Don't be so sad. We are not sure if he survives."
"You know. I thought I could have lost my brother when we were little kids. There was a fire happened, we were got ourselves separated until one day I found him." Kenji said, making an example.
"Yeah, I remember." Sasuke murmured.
"Same goes for me. After Pinkie and Twilight have gotten into a feud, Princess Twilight Sparkle has captured by Tempest. I should have tried to warn her, and she didn't listen to me. I wished none of this will ever happen." Utopia stated.
"Whatever happens to them, we can help them." Max added, placing his left hand on Taiyo's right shoulder.
"Why are you looking so down and up?" A mature voice asked.
The group drew their attention to the yellow and purple demon being, Zillian.
"Who are you? A demon?" Atsuko asked.
"Easy there. He is one of the Hellish Demons." Geno said.
"The Hellish Demons? He seemed different from the demon kinds." Blanca uttered. "We never encountered him before."
"Oh, klutz. I am maybe just a regular demon. Call me Zillian." Zillian replied.
"Zillian?" Mario puzzled, putting his hand on his chin until he perked up his head. "Oh yeah. I barely recognized you from before. You've been trained by Asteroth, the Warlock Demon."
"That's right! I am Demon Elite, Zillian " Zillian replied before glancing around the group who were perplexed. "And Zahha told me all about you and your friends. Sure, I never met tons of them!"
"I'm sorry, can you talk to me more importantly?" Taiyo asked.
"Oh, sorry!" Zillian chuckled nervously before dashing over to him. "I say you have a real problem, so you nearly lost your friend. Sora, isn't it?"
"Oh yes." Yoshi murmured.
Zillian took a sigh. "You give me a lot of time what to do."
"And we saved Dylan too." Venus responded, causing Zillian to grow shocked.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Back it up there." Zillian said. "Did you say Dylan?"
"Wait a minute. You heard him?" Keno asked.
"Of course, I knew him. He arrived at Magne's Manor, a palace owned by Magne Family. Dylan has soon discovered the spirit of the Bahamut within him. Lucifer is kinda shock when he finds out." Zillian murmured.
"Hold on, did you say Lucifer?" Goku confused.
"Oh, him? He's pretty handful dude of demon royalties. The Morning Star, Sovereign of Ninth Circle and King of Hell. I recommended that you ran into him, right?"
"Yeah, I did." Goku answered, making Zillian puzzled when raising his right eyebrow.
"What exactly is Bahamut?" Tommy asked.
"We never heard of him." Chopsuey said.
"I have read about it from the Mushroom Kingdom. Bahamut is the eidolon lord of all dragons and has overseen much guidance in the hero's heart. It also says he is the spirit that dwells from within any normal beings." Luigi explained.
"Just like my dragon spirit." Sean murmured.
"Yep. It is extremely very rare like someone possessed the ancient power like Dylan." Zillian said.
"And how can you explain about him?" Yixato asked.
"I know Dylan is corrupted by Ganon's dark power but since you freed him from the darkness. Ganondorf knew that Bahamut wasn't controlled enough, not even his own darkness works. So he transformed the dragon lord into the Dragon Scale Gem and sent it far across the Multiverse. This means, no one seeks the gem or heard from it again." Zillian murmured.
"Could it be the reason that Ganondorf has been feared?" Yoshi asked.
"Well, it scares him. But anyways, where is Dylan?" Zillian asked.
"He has taken to safety by Mortu. We have to see him if he was alright." Verta said.
"Okay, let's return back to the base." Kenji nodded.
As they headed back to the town, Taiyo looked back to the Villain's Vale before following the others.
(Hollow Bastion - Marketplace)
Sonic, Mighty, Alphonse, Shade, Makaque, Tempest, Greyback, Strife, Halcon, Katherine, Aero Wingsman, Vixella, Dusty, Paine, Rikku, Yuna, Beatrix, Steiner, Leon, Tifa, Aerith, Zell, Ryu, and Ken. Mortu has placed his hand on Dylan's head as his body lies on the martial stretcher bed.
"Is this the one called the Dark Predator? I assumed he used to be Taiyo's friend." Tempest said.
"I might just say the boy is not evil." Steiner murmured.
"Exactly, Steiner. Taiyo and his friends must have done it for him and now he's on our side." Beatrix uttered.
"Let's hope for the better when he's not turning down on us." Steiner muttered.
"I guess you're right." Alphonse said.
"We're so glad it's over." Aerith sighed.
Zell became somewhat dumbfounded. "Over?! Do you think it was over? Look at the surroundings, can't you see? They're almost destroying this world, and you're saying it is over?!"
"I thought it was." Aerith argued.
"Lay it off, you two." Leon firmed, breaking up between Aerith and Zell.
"Squall. Don't you think it is a good idea to rest?" Zell asked.
"Of course, we can rest after this. Then don't say my name. Just Leon." Leon calmed, earning the former's scoff.
"Will he be alright?" Shade asked, stepping over to him.
Mortu pulled his hand away from Dylan and gazed at her.
"There's a small amount of darkness in his heart. It slowly returned him what he was so I have find a way to cure him." Mortu informed.
"How?" Aerith asked.
"I don't know yet when I find a solution." Mortu sighed.
"There's gotta be a way to awake this guy up." Rikku groaned.
"There's nothing else we could do after the whole thing with Heartless and Nobodies." Yuna murmured.
"Come on, let's get out of here. I'm getting bored now." Paine said.
The two little fairies flew away, leaving Rikku and the youngest quickly went after them.
"Wait up!"
"If Taiyo have come with a better idea, we can leave it to him and his pals." Sonic replied.
"Look, blue pipsqueak. I could have better luck if you are late for the combat." Ken said.
"Hey. Sonic was on the way at two minutes with us. So don't be upset with the hedgehog." Makaque spoke.
"We almost have them. It doesn't mean that the Organization XIII and it's leader don't know what hit them." Ken said.
"Look, these thugs are got away. We don't know why they want us to get rid of those Heartless." Sonic replied.
"Could be the Dark Order wants the Heartless and Nobodies to form an alliance?" Zell asked.
"We are not sure but to find out what." Leon answered.
"Any ideas of the Organization XIII and Ganon?" Dusty asked.
Vixella turned to see Taiyo and two other teams approaching the Marketplace area, and Zillian followed them.
"Here comes Taiyo and the others."
Sonic goes over to the Mario Brothers along with others including Alphonse, Makaque, Shade, and Mighty.
"Boy. Am I glad to see you two are okay?"
"We did survive in the most epic battle we have ever seen." Mario murmured.
"Yeah. It's totally a lot of the Heartless army. What about you and others?" Luigi said.
"We able to fend off some of the Heartless and Nobodies until they retreated." Sonic answered.
"Good." Luigi replied.
"We beat the couples of them. That should keep us warming up." Mighty smirked, pounding his fists together.
"But it didn't stop the Organization XIII and Dark Order." Alphonse murmured.
"I thought so." Mario replied.
"I pretty much know they are up to something." Shade mentioned.
"We all manage to unscathed from the battlefield." Atsuko added. "No one was hurt."
"Did you catch after the leader of Organization?" Sonic asked.
"No. Only Mickey and Fusoya are going after him. I should probably help them." Tommy answered.
"That's too bad." Sonic murmured, scratching the back of his head a bit.
"Votus. What was that? I heard there's rumbling on the ground." Makaque said.
"I guess it was me. I brought out my latent power in me, morphing myself into the Monkey King. Plus, I got a new name for myself. It's Goku." Goku replied.
"Goku, huh?" Makaque smirked, putting his hand on his chin. "I like it and it's very matched to your appearance."
"Yep, it does." Goku murmured.
"I was the one who gives his name." Sasuke murmured.
"Really?" Makaque asked.
"He means about Son Goku, referring to the Monkey King from the Japanese legends." Kenji responded.
"Oh, now I get it." Makaque said.
"True. He is clearly resemblance to the oldest character from Dragon Ball Z." Snow Fang replied.
"What's a Dragon Ball Z?" Max asked.
"It is my favourite anime show. They only spoke in Japanese." Snow Fang responded.
"It is our favourite too. We loved Dragon Ball Z." Sasuke admitted.
"And in fact, we read some entries from Ansem's journal including the ones that are called Dragon Balls." Keno said.
"Seriously?" Max confused with a left raised eyebrow. "Wow. Now the reality does make sense."
"Oh, we'll just have to leave that some crazy popular references for now." Sylvia said, didn't want to get embarrassed.
"How were the things back at Mobius?" Geno asked.
"All the people are starting to fix everything Eggman Empire wrecked the places. It takes a few months to rebuild the city supported by General Eggman's robots." Alphonse murmured.
"Steve is a pretty cool and good guy too." Sonic added.
"But he's off to find the whereabouts of Dr. Eggman to see if he survive or not." Shade told them.
"Is he alone to go on his own?" Goku asked.
"Do not worry. Shadow and Infinite joined him on the private mission." Makaque said.
"If you say so." Yoshi replied.
"So when did it happened?" Atsuko asked.
"It was right after the Resistance has won the war." Sonic answered.
"A Resistance?" Sasuke asked.
"That's a long story." Mighty said.
"Oh man. I missed a lot, especially with the freedom fighters." Max exhaled.
"We already bring back our freedom in the Mobius." Alphonse told him.
Tempest, Greyback, Halcon, Strife, Katherine, Aero Wingsman, Vixella, Dusty, Ryu, and Ken walked over to the group before noticing Yixato and his teammates.
"Ah. Look what the bunch of cats dragged in? Another Keyblade wielder and his new team." Dusty responded.
"I'm right here, bunny puff." Katherine folded her arms, huffing at him.
"You must be Yixato who led his team, consisting with two Snake Demonesses, an alien and the talking tree. Mortu told us about you." Tempest said.
"Sounds like you heard about us." Chopsuey said.
"I am Trug." Trug said.
"What is he saying?" Greyback asked.
"Trug said, 'Good to meet you all.' I only understand his 'I am Trug' words that came from his mouth." Chopsuey answered.
"O...kay. I think I need to follow the elective of studying strange language." Vixella bothered.
"I know. He's a bit vocabulist, go easy with him." Chopsuey said.
"We'll do." Greyback understood.
"Utopia, how's holding up?" Strife asked.
"We all manage to clear them off the world but Nobodies and Organization are onto something." Utopia responded.
"What is their plan?" Katherine asked.
"We don't know yet. That's why we have to find the location of headquarters." Luigi murmured.
"So, amigo. How long have you been with Taiyo and his friends? It's been three months." Halcon said.
"Three months? I stayed with them in six months." Utopia corrected.
"What? Is this really confusing me?" Halcon asked.
"You missed the point." Geno spoke. "When Utopia left from Equestria, the quantum field exists throughout the outside of many worlds. The time will alter fast or slow within each of the universes so three months from Equestria expanded the time double in the collection of the whole cosmos." Geno murmured, surprising the Justice Defenders, Tempest, Vixella, and Dusty.
"Whoa. Really? That's what explains it." Greyback said.
"I never knew you were smart. The quantum sounds a logical word I never heard it." Strife intrigued.
"Yeah, we all got to know about the quantum field." Aero murmured.
"Still hard to believe." Katherine added.
"Besides, it was fascinating fact." Sylvia commented. "I learn it from my old high school years."
Ryu then noticed Zillian, pointing at him. "Who's that?"
"It's Zillian. A friendly Hellish Demon. He looks a little laid back." Yoshi answered.
"There's another type of demon?" Dusty perplexed.
"It's a long story." Utopia told him.
"He looks friendly to me. I thought demons are evil." Halcon said.
"You had no idea why." Zell sighed.
"Well, he doesn't really that tough." Ryu said.
"Hey! I am much tough than the demons and sinners. That's how I passed the exam for L.E.D." Zillian retorted.
"L.E.D.? What's that?" Ken wondered.
"It stands for Law Enforcement Demons." Zillian answered.
"The Hellish Demons works in the forces of law?" Blanca asked.
"That's right. I can make it up to the top rank and most of them referred to me as Corporal." Zillian smirked.
"That's cool." Ken said.
"Reminding my snake demon clan back from the distant past." Verta commented.
"I used to be called Captain of the Radiant Knights. And Beatrix is leading the troops, she is happened to be the general." Steiner addressed.
"No kidding." Zillian chuckled.
"The Radiant Knights?" Aerith asked.
"Precisely. We trained many mercenaries to protect this world which it is formerly called as Radiant Garden." Steiner explained.
"Radiant Garden? Is this a world you're referring to?" Natus asked.
"That's correct since Maleficent has taken over our world and formed the bands of evildoers. The memories are long forgotten since her reign of terror." Beatrix said.
"Hey, where's Cloud? Isn't he here?" Yoshi asked.
"I think he went out on his own to find Sephiroth." Leon answered.
"I make sure he's okay." Tifa replied.
"Don't worry about him, Tifa. He sure is strong to take him out." Leon assured.
"I hope so." Tifa muttered quietly.
"What about Dylan? What's his condition?" Natus asked.
"I don't like to say this, but Dylan is in a coma." Aero answered.
"What?" Taiyo asked, walking over to Dylan was still in a coma state, shaking his shoulders. "Hey, Dylan. Wake up, wake up. Please get up."
Dylan grunted a little, didn't respond to awake.
"Why can't he wake up?!" Taiyo asked.
"Can't you do something like... I don't know, wake him up." Max replied.
"I'm sorry. You did restore him to his old self, his part of the heart is missing." Mortu said.
"Missing? How come?" Taiyo confused.
"When you, Votus, and Venus combined all the power of light to destroy the darkness within him, Fawful tried to take control of him with using the evil energy, but as the result, it splits halves of his heart, so he took it and fled." Mortu explained.
"Is it possible?" Taiyo asked.
"I read it in Xehanort's note, it says if the person's heart been divided into two halves, he/she will goes into the state of coma until the heart reunited into its body." Beatrix replied.
"Does that mean Dylan can't wake up without his own half heart?" Venus asked.
"Yes, that's correct. If you want to bring it back from Fawful, you have a chance to save him." Beatrix replied.
"Excellent logic, Beatrix." Steiner affirmed.
"Then we gotta go find Fawful now." Yoshi urged.
Mario held out his left hand in front of the green dinosaur.
"No. We still need to find the Star Spirits. We can't forget our mission." Mario murmured.
"Mario's right. We can grant a wish to bring a new heart for him. It would be fair if your head can't thinking straight." Luigi said.
"I heard Axel kidnapped the girl that Sora's been looking for. Kairi, wasn't it?" Beatrix asked.
"Yes. What do you know about her?" Taiyo asked.
"You probably never heard of the seven Princesses of Heart. They have hearts filled with pure lights and devoid of darkness. Compared to the Spirit Princesses of Heart were more complex than the rest of them. In fact, Kairi is one of them." Beatrix replied.
It sends a shock to the whole group, especially Taiyo and Mario.
"You mean Kairi is one of them? How could that be?" Mario asked.
"The Seeker of Darkness knew Kairi is the final piece to unlock the Final Keyhole to gain access to Kingdom Hearts." Beatrix explained.
"Kingdom Hearts?" Natus asked.
"What is that?" Sean questioned.
"A powerful phenomenal of beyond all the worlds. Xehanort's Heartless was trying to get his hands on the power of Kingdom Hearts for himself." Steiner murmured.
"So Maleficent captured every princess including Kairi. However, her heart has hidden within Sora's. So he sacrificed himself to save Kairi and as the result, he's gone into the deepest darkness." Beatrix told.
Taiyo felt horrified to hear his best friend was at risk to save Kairi.
"Poor boy..." Halcon said.
"I know. Until brought himself back to reality, reuniting with loyal companions." Steiner replied.
"I can't believe Sora just did it for Kairi." Yixato said.
"Man, he's a darn good kid after all." Tommy replied.
"Indeed. Fusoya tells a story right after Sora defeated Ansem." Steiner nodded.
"But there's more to tell. When Sora lost his heart, his body and soul were left behind and becomes a Nobody." Beatrix said.
"Another Nobody?" Tifa asked.
Mortu came up before speaking solemnly. "The one that Xemnas called his name, Roxas. The former member of Organization XIII."
"Wait, what?!" Greyback asked.
"Is he works in Organization XIII too?!" Strife shouted in alarm.
"Don't get started this. Roxas has left the Organization to find the true answers until he was defeated. He soon rejoined with Sora to awaken himself from the deep sleep." Mortu said.
"So are the others calling Sora as Roxas?" Tifa murmured, having heard from Mortu.
"Yes." Mortu answered.
"I guess that means he is not one of the baddies." Mighty sighed.
"And you still haven't told us. What exactly is the Key of Destiny?" Taiyo asked.
"I have only a few details about the ancient weapon. It was created by the First Goddess, Nuwa. And it's not built by Gerudo sages. It's said that legendary Keyblade will be able to obtain every Destiny Orbs to rewrite the laws of order in the Multiverse, including changing the worlds or destroying all half of populations." Mortu informed.
Everyone became utterly shocked in horror, even Blanca and Verta becoming great concerned.
"Isn't that really powerful?" Snow Fang asked.
"Yes. I'm afraid so." Mortu inhaled himself.
"I shouldn't believe in the myth given by Gerudo." Mario muttered under his breath.
"That's why that Gerudo freak wants it to unite all Destiny Orbs to wipe out all of us." Yoshi said. "He's driven himself mad!"
"Yeah, totally is." Zillian grunted.
"I can't believe your adoptive father will go all the way to look for the orbs." Chopsuey replied.
"Hey. I haven't known about his plan. And you have no idea what he can do to bring massacres on every universe." Verta frowned, looking away from him.
"Why would she do that? What is her reason when creating the ultimate weapon?" Blanca asked.
"I still do not know why." Mortu said.
"Do you really think she's still alive?" Mighty asked.
"My fellow members said that Nuwa can't be detected. It's possible to track her down." Mortu responded.
"What should we do now?" Atsuko asked.
"We got to find the Organization XIII, and we have to know where their hideout is." Sasuke replied.
Suddenly, the lights shine out from Dylan as the two Star Spirits come out.
Misstar is one of the seven Star Spirits. Her skin color is pink and she has a yellow ribbon on her head.
Muskular has light cyan skin color and wearing his sailor's hat.
"Finally! I'm out!" Misstar relieved.
"Good to be back now." Muskular sighed.
"Misstar! Muskular!" Mario reacted.
Misstar and Muskular have floated around the group, and they have been intrigued by their appearances.
"Look at those!" Aerith pointed at them in the air.
"What are they?" Kenji asked.
"They are Star Spirits among the others." Leon answered.
"It is curious sight to see the Star Spirit. I never seen anything like it." Strife said.
"What is it do?" Tempest wondered.
Misstar gave her answer. "If we are reuniting, we can access for fulfilling a single wish."
"Granting a wish? You mean any kind of wish?" Aero puzzled.
"That's right." Muskular said. "There is one more star left. Good luck for finding the last remaining spirit."
They are both flew up to the sky and vanished.
"The last Star Spirit will be somewhere to be found." Mario uttered.
"Are we still going to find the last one?" Luigi asked.
"No, not yet. We have all six Star Spirit. I think we need to go back to the Mushroom Kingdom to get some rest." Mario said.
"The Mushroom Kingdom?" Tifa asked.
"The Mario Brothers and Yoshi are from their homeworld." Geno said.
"Why would we have to go back there?" Taiyo asked.
"I just want to inform Peach about the Key of Destiny and Bahamut. Also, Rosalina will arrive at her castle as well." Mario murmured.
"Should we have to?" Yoshi asked.
"Then we have to come with you too." Sean said.
"We really like to explore your wonderous world, the Mushroom Kingdom." Blanca said.
"I am Trug." Trug agreed.
"Yep. We can go to the Mushroom Kingdom with you." Yixato replied.
"Thanks." Mario sighed.
"I would love to go see Princess Peach. I never gotta have a chance to meet her." Venus delighted.
"You said it, girl." Chopsuey responded.
"And I can come as well." Natus added.
"But Utopia Magus cannot coming with you anymore." Strife said.
"What do you mean?" Yixato asked.
"Chancellor Neighsayer is now good in terms with non-pony creatures. So Celestia wants you to return to the Equestria." Greyback said.
"Who's Chancellor Neighsayer?" Zell asked.
"Chancellor Neighsayer is the leading figure and founder of E.E.A. stands for Equestria Education Association. He truly hates every kind of non-pony creature." Utopia said.
"Whoa, is he bad?" Keno asked. "He sounds like a racist."
"Keno!" Tommy scolded.
"What?" Keno confused.
"That's alright. I accidentally said about that cold-hearted authority when he arrives at the School of Friendship." Greyback said.
"Yeah, he also didn't care about the outworld heroes including you guys have been involved when Lord Vastatus' terror almost destroyed the world." Vixella replied.
"This is far worse than he is! It's pathetic!" Mighty snarled.
"Tell me about it." Leon muttered.
"I am Trug!" Trug scoffed, earning a surprised gasp from Chopsuey.
"What did he say?" Kenji asked.
"He says 'Give some hell to him'." Chopsuey translated.
Taiyo, Yixato, Mario, Luigi, and the rest of the allies looked at him in shock as Zillian goes 'hohohoho!' while placing his hands on his face.
"Dude!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Oh my!" Sylvia gasped.
"Watch your language!" Strife warned.
"Hey!" Aero retorted.
"Don't say that." Blanca scolded.
"It was a really bad impression for him, huh?" Dusty asked.
"I don't even want to hear from the tree when he talks." Tempest muttered herself.
"Shouldn't allow swearing in the pony world." Aero commented.
"I must admit that Chancellor Neighsay is very strict and controlled." Snow Fang spoke firmly.
"What did that horrible Chancellor Neighsay do something like that? It's awful." Aerith asked.
"Probably because he shut down the School of Friendship to prevent any non-pony creature from studying the Magic of Friendship. Until he recently fixed his mind on the other creatures and he turned good." Katherine murmured.
"How?" Utopia puzzled.
"We can explain when you get there." Halcon said.
"That's why we need you to go back home." Aero spoke.
Utopia turned to Taiyo and Mario. "Well, I guess my journey is finished with you."
"We gonna missed you, Utopia." Taiyo said, hugging the Prince of Justice and pulling him back.
"You come and visit me again anytime." Utopia smiled.
"Utopia Magus, you have done a great job for Taiyo and his companions. You really made me appreciated to your Magic of Friendship." Tommy smiled.
"Tempest. Activate the transportal device." Greyback said.
"Yes, Greyback." Tempest affirmed, pulling out the transportal device and pressing her left hoof on a button to summon the portal of the land of Equestria.
"We are all seeing you guys again." Vixella said, hopping over to the portal, followed by Strife, Halcon, Katerine, and Dusty.
Aero goes ahead before turning back to the allies.
"We thank you for helping you out in the awesome battle!"
The hippogriff dived himself to the portal before Tempest and Utopia Magus spoke to them.
"You have our wisdom and courage. We shall take our leave right away." Tempest said.
"We don't know what the Organization XIII and the Dark Order were up against us. We bid you farewell and saved the universes." Utopia farewelled them as he and his sister dove into a portal and disappeared.
"Time to return to the Mushroom Kingdom." Yoshi replied.
"Glad to." Mario nodded, pulling out the Stardash's teleportation remote and pushing the button which teleported himself, Taiyo, and others including Venus, Zillian and Natus.
Yixato used the Teleport spell to transport himself, Blanca, Sean, Verta, Chopsuey, and Trug to get back on their spacecraft.
"Mortu, what can we do?" Ryu asked.
"This world needs advanced protection. See if any enemies are coming back. I should go back to Dimension X to inform the Utrom High Council." Mortu replied, touching his wristwatch to teleport himself back to Dimension X.
"Well, our job is done. Better take our leave to Reefside City." Tommy murmured, held out the transportal device to cast a portal so he, Kenji, Atsuko, Keno, Sasuke and Snow Fang enter it as it closed.
"We're heading off to the Green Hills City." Shade murmured.
"Amy is gonna be upset about me when we get back." Sonic peeved.
"Best things are telling your girlfriend the truth." Mighty teased.
"Of course, she is my girlfriend! She is getting relentless." Sonic sighed.
"Anyways, we got to go back." Makaque replied.
"And we can resume our duty for the world's protection to ensure everyone's safety." Steiner replied.
"Likewise, Steiner." Leon nodded.
"I loved to stay here with you, Leon." Zell murmured.
"Whatever." Leon said, walking away.
"Come on!" Zell followed him. "I am your friend, Squall. Just trying to cheer you up."
"Didn't anyone like you supposed to call me Leon instead of Squall?" Leon muttered.
"Nope. Maybe it was only a few of us." Zell uttered.
"If you guys like to stick around, I'll be doing some practice for punching." Tifa replied, jumping to the building and running across.
"We probably take a break at Merlin's house." Sylvia said.
"And Cid is gonna go down onto the system of Ansem's computer, making sure he has found the other info." Max said.
"Do you think they will return?" Ryu asked.
"Of course, they do. Now, better to look after each other." Beatrix answered.
"You got that right, ma'am. I don't want to worry my wife and kid back home." Ken said.
"Sounds like you have a family to take care of." Ryu smiled.
"Wouldn't be that hard. At least, they are safed." Ken replied.
(Elsewhere)
In the white room of their hidden fortress, the members of Organization XIII met with each other. Saïx and Xemnas were the only two members who had their hoods down while the few others still had their up.
"Sora and Taiyo know the truth now. The more Heartless they defeat, the closer they are to becoming our perfect puppets. This new knowledge will make them that much harder to control." Saïx clarified.
"What does it matter really? Whatever their circumstances, those two boys have never been able to help themselves by saving people from the Heartless. It's what their pure little hearts want." One of the hooded figures spoke.
"There, the dice has been cast. Things are in motion. They cannot stop this." Another hooded figure expressed
"Nothing is set in stone. If the dice aren't in your favor, you will share Demyx's fate." Another hooded figure threatened.
"The fun is in not knowing, isn't it? What is the point of betting something if you already know the outcome?" The other hooded figure questioned.
"Are you sure that defeating them won't derail the Organization's plan?" Another hooded figure asked.
"If they are to die so easily, they are of no use to us." Xemnas responded.
"That's exactly what I wanted to hear. It's not in my nature to hold back." The other hooded figure replied.
Lord Fawful made his appearance among the other members of Organization XIII.
"Lord Fawful. Your presence would be assumed that you failed to control the Dark Predator." Saïx replied.
"I know. I tried to contain Dylan's heart with the darkness. And there is a chance to kill our old enemies. It is why I brought this." Lord Fawful reasoned, held out his right hand to show the half-heart of light that belongs to Dylan.
"How thoughtful of you, Fawful. I can give you a little special experiment from Vexen." Xemnas smiled coldly.
"Vexen? Isn't that the one who attempted to perfect the two vessels?" The other hooded figure wondered.
"That's right. However, they are almost completed and remain unsuccessful for our uses. We shall give the project to Lord Fawful." Saïx replied.
"Preposterous!" The other hooded figure, removed his hood to reveal his platinum-blond hair is very short and worn in a Caesar cut, and he has electric-blue eyes and goatee and the same blond color as his hair.
"That green bean pimp has no equality of his knowledge to make a replica of Dylan!" He scoffed.
"Silence, Luxord." Xemnas firmed as Luxord grunted and did what his leader says.
"I can copy off his evil version and surpass the very limited power of the darkness. And with my knowledge, I shall prove it to you and your project Replica Program will be succeeded!" Lord Fawful chuckled, followed by Xemnas' sinister laughter.
"Your entertainment sure is flattering me, Lord Fawful. Hope you will do well on your guinea pig." Another hooded figure.
"I guess we can leave it to him." Luxord spoke.
Author Notes: The moment when Votus is taken a lot of hits, he awakened his ultimate power called Kaio-Ken Technique and allowing himself to defeat Mesogog. Taiyo was struggling to stand up and fight the Dark Predator, trying to convince him to remember as Dylan was restrained by Lord Fawful's dark powers that controlled him, using his heart. Taiyo, Votus and Venus are finally bringing Dylan back to the light but turns out his heart was half, taken by Lord Fawful! Mario decided to go back to the Mushroom Kingdom along with Yixato, Blanca, Sean, Verta, Chopsuey, Trug, Venus and Natus. Don't forget to review after reading this!
Trivia:
1) The scene of Yixato and Verta looked like the resemblance that Verta was aggressively seduced Xu Xuan when he foolishly becoming a demon to live forever with Blanca.
2) Ken mentioned his wife and kid, referring to Eliza and Mel Masters.
3) Utopia decided to leave from Taiyo's team to return to Equestria and the new story of My Little Pony will be start for his journey to find Chancellor Gladio.
