6. Deserted Lands 2

Hello everyone, now we can finally relax and enjoy more of the Infinity Train with twist and tales for your liking. After this chapter has been sent out, I am going back to working on One Piece chapters once more, but this time work on them a bit longer because I have left them go too long from time to time. After that is done, I do hope some of you have look into the polls and voted what you want to see or reviewed your own movies as your votes. Reminder that the poll will take three movies as your top three votes as your next 3 chapters.

If there is one challenge I would say about this arc, is how the Classic cartoon/video game characters go through change into new people. For these characters they come from an age where character develop wasn't the norm and was meant for comedy and fun. But with times changing they now face the modern age verses the golden age. So, the changing into something different or remain the same will be an interesting concept. Honestly this would be tough for some as their character would be change by the normal, we know of today verse the normal of the past.

P.S. If anyone wants other movies, you'll have to wait a bit but can vote through reviews. The movies can be random or something you really like even if they are jump scares/horror movies. If you voted for jump scare/Horror movies expect some dark s**t to happen. That may sound extreme, but before Christ I did watch many horror films behind my parents back and listen to heavy metal specifically Disturb, Red, and previous favorite song Devour from Shinedown in my teenage years. Not what you expect from a Christian, but that was my life. So, make your votes if you like or comment on the chapters/story.

P.S.S. I am using some grammar to help sort out the chapter. If anything sounds weird let me know, this is days work on the chapter in Traveler's Journey and if they don't make sense point them out.

Bible Topics:

Heroes of Faith

Why does it matter if we are faithful to God or why is being Hero in Faith much different then Hero of Man? This is something that can be confusing, yet when diving deep makes you question much of the world. The reason for those is because being Heroes of Faith has more to do with you being faithful in your steps as followers of Christ. Let's us go back to some familiar and unfamiliar names of the Bible in the Old Testament that shows what it takes to be faithful in your walk for Christ. The first among the faithful is actually Able. Outside of context you could say God simply selected Able's offering instead of Cain. But in truth the reason for this comes from other parts of the bible down the line where offering sheep as sacrifice for sins of their own. From Abraham to Christ, offering blood from sheep was the only way during those times. Thus, Able is faithful, another reason is because he offered his best. When you think of what to offer to God these days. Many of us can mistake for objects or money has offerings, but that isn't the case as those are already his including your own stuff. What really mattered is offering the best of yourself, most of the time this isn't something we would give, but Able is one that showed his best is what pleased God.

There are many others no doubt you know without reading the Bible or have heard. Abraham as father of his nation, most trusted friend to God, and obedient to God's will. The last part is most important as this shows God, we truly honor, fear and respect him in all his ways. Obedience is key because more times than not our actions is what describes us who we are and how we behave. Have you ever been in any situation where you wanted people to see you as yourself, but they misunderstood you and only saw your actions and labelled you as that instead of what you wanted them to see? That's the case when actions speaks louder than words, what you shows is who you are, most would try to tell you "It doesn't matter" or "Nobody cares in some way" But if that held any truth, would you not already be friends with everyone and not have enemies or strangers by now? All judge people or persons by actions, this has help us understand people and see if they are friend or not. None of us should be judging others, but we should be aware of what actions we take and how we are viewed by those actions.

God see you as who you are by your actions and willingness to obey him. Your life is viewed since birth to death of who you are and how you behave or acted. Other familiar names such as Moses, Joshua, David, and Daniel are people who have been viewed by people and God on their actions as their willingness to serve God and people. But don't allow your actions to make you prideful, for faith without works is no faith at all, the reserve is true as well. For everyone has to have faith and works in his name, as God is everyday working in ways we don't understand and is faithful to keep his words when he makes a promise or covenant. What we face now however is more problematic as we spend less time with God and allow some works as first priority. All of us are guilty of it, yet when that consume your life, you can't really say your faithful as God wants you to spend as many free times on the word and with him to build relationship. As individuals filled with more work to be done or short time. We usually say "We don't have the time" or "they seem okay". All of us are guilty of this and have ignored some that truly would need a helping hand. You don't have to throw your life away and what you have just to do good.

In short being heroes of faith comes to few things that we should know. First is our relationship with God through Christ, take note that Old Testament would say faithful to God, while our generation from the New Testament is through Christ. In today we need to build our bonds with Christ as he fills us with the Holy Spirit that lives in us. Second is knowing the words as sometimes your life is built to be pastors, teachers and missionaries to those around the world to hear his words and teach new believers as God works in you to save souls from eternal death. Also, would be helpful to not only know history, but also how science has proven God exist as Creator. Thirdly obedience to Christ is one of the most important ways to follow Christ in our lives. Without Obedience you can't say you're a follower and you chose to seek your ways that's not God, or disregard his laws in favor of sinful pleasures. Without Obedience you can't achieve anything in God's name, this is directly towards followers of Christ as all of us need to learn to hear his commands and know his laws. All of us can be heroes of Faith, even if they are great or small, many who are faithful will be considered faithful in God's eyes as they showed their trust in God.

Traveler's Journey

Arc 2 - The Impossible Quest

Ch. 19 - Infinity Tales I

Earth World - Cole and Grimhilda

Once more Cole and Grimhilda are on the move. But this time stayed in some old castle in another world, one that is abandon for many years that still stands up to now. What they are doing here is Cole giving what Grimhilda would need to start herself to power. She is working on some potion that is the darkest of powers that can be used to date, reviving the dead. However, Cole would add some of his own to the formula as he's able to inform the flaws and requirements to make something work to her advantage. One of them is the key she carries in hand. Using it's power as the source, Cole would then gather the ashes of someone that has died just recently, how this was done is unknown to her, yet for someone like Cole to achieve this so easily shows much in his skills, abilities, power and most of all experience.

The location they are now is somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Possibly around Europe in Norway is all she's been told, the castle in question was once important in history, but has been abandon due to tragic events. She wasn't given too much intel as he's mention it's around the 20th century, more accurate date is 1914 of July 24th. For the most part they stayed at least 10 days from now, he also mentions about leaving as soon as possible before the 28th. Something about WWI would take effect and didn't want people knowing about them. Grimhilda found it curious about this way, so Cole explained that this World War 1 is considered the greater wars as it affects all countries around the world during which some countries were developing towards modern times. She finds this interesting as this sounds like something of a power move on someone's part and would like to see the struggle unfold. But Cole insisted they don't partake as this could have drastic changes if they cause any problems.

For now, she's made do with what they are doing and focus at the task. Maybe when she has enough power without Cole's help, she would try to understand this WW1 and 2 sometime. If what Cole said is true about the entire world affected by it, she has some plans of her own to try out. Normally she would have taken this opportunity to leave or double-cross people like Cole. But lately she found he's most trust worthy at the moment, if his help resulted in gaining for herself, then she will abuse this opportunity to have real power instead of ruling one kingdom. Maybe even worlds at some point, most likely he has plans of his own. But considering he waiting for something, then she can use this time for herself and maybe take him down. Right now, this partnership is her best shot at regaining something for her own.

"Hmm, just needs a little of this and that, the potion should work as intended. While I would have argued against such actions of changing the potion, I cannot argue the flaws in the design. Now if that... whatever he is brings back the ash remains-"

"-Done and Doner my Queen." Cole said as he brought what is considered Ash Jar for someone that died.

"Is this the one we need?" She asked unsure who he brought, never mention the name but knew it was someone he insisted would help her.

"Absolutely, and just so you know his name is Rasputin. In one world he had died when he couldn't fulfill his curse, most likely he would have died in hell for eternity. But with this potion and added formula, he would not only be alive, but more so completed to his original state when he last died. Plus, with the key in play he would have immortality like you, and since that key is bound by you that means if he betrayed you then he must die immediately." The last part had Grimhilda curious as he said betrayed with disgust in his tone. But what she also caught is this Rasputin is for her.

"Wait a minute, you brought him here for me?" Grimhilda now grew suspicious. While working with him she grew scared and fearful of him as his dark side can be shown in any form. Giving a very demon like persona that isn't human nor suppose being that should have died. Whatever the case, she knew that Cole is someone truly evil, sinister and wicked in ways that many people like her pale to his cruelty. That's saying something if she can admit she's not as evil as him. But regardless his willingness to give her power and more is probably why she tolerates his attitude.

"Don't underestimate him, he's actually as evil as you with some gimmicks of his own. If anything, the real difference, is he was once called a priest, but because of his practice in dark powers, he was banished. He then cursed the very people that banished and swore to killed their entire family and name down to the ground. But he failed and when given the opportunity someone help those people defeat him." Cole then used his other hand to reveal the reliquary that Rasputin once hold.

"This beauty is what give him power and immortality. But due to him dying he needs a new source of power, that key will help him regain something he lost and given extra power." From what Cole explained, Grimhilda could see this would benefit her greatly. Not only that, but also bonus of having another dark magic user on her side will be greatly needed for her rising power. She grinned to herself along with a chuckle as she can think of some ideas how to use him.

"So, your potion is ready?" Cole asked, taking back to reality as she needed.

"Hmm, of yes it's ready. The only requirement left is the body, which I assume is the ashes?" She already knew the answer.

"Yep, now for this to work we need to make this work is draw a large circle which I will do and you poor that stuff on this ash pile. Then I will do the rest and use the key to bring him back from the dead, actually its more accurately that I bring him here right before his death. Almost like time travel to the future except I'm preventing his death from happening when it was destined or fated to happen." Cole grinned darkly as his sinister side reveals his darken intentions. She learned to ignore this as she did his instruction.

When she added the potion to the ashes, something strange happens as the key responded to the potion in some sickly color of bluish-green almost to pale gray mixed together. This soon led to the ashes sticking together into some liquid. Fortunate enough Grimhilda had added a bowl underneath to keep all Rasputin remains together. With the circle done, Cole did something disturbing. He used a knife and intentionally stab through his hand through the bone without hesitation, as if pain brings pleasure and joy to his darken soul.

When both hands are stabbed, he muttered gibberish that shaken her to the soul. With hand movement that his blood became wisp of some ancient and forbidden powers she never seen before. With his left hand five spike appeared reacting to his left hand. His fingers twisted and bended into five points of his palm that soon carved into the ground a star. Once this happens, he clamps together his five fingers as the spike responded to his command. Then the key became darken with blood and shadow mixed together almost bleeding. When it started to surround and absorbed into Rasputin remains, a vision of his death appeared, but this time his being is grabbed on by Cole and pulled into this point where the remains took form of Rasputin, he gasped and screamed in terror as he supposedly embraces death.

"I assume this is normal." Much as she tried to contain her horror, Grimhilda couldn't help be reminded of her death and how this affected her.

"Well, it's the same as when you died. But because of the key you have your able to have a second chance in life. Rasputin is no doubt experiencing the same process, so depending on his mental state and will, he could overcome this and return to normal once he's grasped the new surroundings." Cole explained, taking this to heart. She could see herself being the same if this was reversed, and like he said Rasputin came to his senses and took his new surroundings. Slowly coming to realize he's not dead, instead somehow here of all places.

"Wha-Whe-Where am I?!" He tried to say, feeling his throat dried up. He soon found a cup to drink, mostly water and wine for him. Drinking it down, he soon came to his senses and took in his new surroundings and allies in front of him.

"Who, who are you two?" He asked.

"A friend who manage to bring you back right when you died." When he said this Rasputin gasp and remembered what happen, then with heated glared that could kill he shouted, "Where is she? WHERE IS ANASTASIA! And more importantly, where am I?" Rasputin demanded. After he finally calm down, Cole explained the details and how he escapes his death. He even gave him the rules and reasons why returning back would be pointless as the key would kill him if he returned. That and explaining his new situation made Rasputin realize he had another chance, and the promise with his Sith comrades while not fulfilled, still been given another chance by the dark forces.

"By the dark powers, I never realize how much darkness the worlds are being filled." Rasputin said grasping the reality of his situation, then he gave his wicked grin and shouted, "I'm in paradise!"

"Seems you have adapted pretty well to this idea of worlds beyond your own." Cole said smirking.

"If it wasn't for my Sith comrades, I wouldn't have believed it first time around. But now even after death, I have a chance to explore these worlds. And to think there are more than one dark forces at work. It's a great start for someone of my powers." Rasputin exclaimed already excited.

"Then you'll love to know that my friend is the same as you." Cole mention Grimhilda, who watch with interested and found kindred spirit in Rasputin with his love for dark magic.

"Really, and what my dear were you before coming here?" He asked. She then puffs her chest and proudly said, "I was once a queen on my world with powers of dark magic just as you."

"A Queen and a witch!" Rasputin exclaimed and bowed down in respect, "Forgive me my Queen, if I knew that someone of royalty was here, I would have properly given you respect, and to think your also in the dark powers as I am. I certainly am more grateful to be alive from the clutches of death, a chance to explore the worlds and gain more dark powers is something we fellow users of dark arts never get a chance."

"Then you're going to love knowing there are many dark forces at work, some similar yet different powers of their own." Cole then gave back his reliquary back to Rasputin.

"I'll leave you two acquainted for the time, got to make sure no one bothers us here." Cole said, he soon left them alone to discuss much on their own. Surprisingly enough, the two are getting along great even if it's some dark twisted way. As Cole walk alone to somewhere he can be to his thoughts.

"And now, with this another dark force is created. Rather they know it or not, the darker forces exist, the greater it is for my plans. For now, I have to lay low as it's not the right time. There are far too many walls to get past, the only wall that will hinder me is you that knows all thoughts and hearts as our Lord. If anything, I would have taken care of these forces already, yet when you come Lord Almighty will interfere. You're the reason I lost every battle and war that is involved, but soon the people of this age will turn and then everything is mine." Is Cole's thoughts as he sometimes looks up to have come conversation that appears as madness. Some point things will play out the way he desired. But for now, the other forces he mentions must cause havoc to the planets, galaxy, universes to the point that everyone knew that balance is always the lie. He chuckled to himself thinking of the brokenness of some people, as he walks with his own thoughts.

Traverse Town - Marcy, Simon and Drake

In the current days since they have departed. Marcy, Simon and Drake have actually settled down in Traverse Town, if anything they had to adjust to their new living environment. For Simon it was fresh start, yes, he still had some blue skin and white hair. But it wasn't bad to the point of out of control growing. If anything, his sanity is slowly returning thanks to some friends they made in this world. Right now, Simon had moved all three of them towards the 6th Distict. Where they had started to meet their neighbors and awkward moments. But it was nice from trying to survive the deadly wastelands and monsters that tried to kill them.

For Marcy though it was a fresh new perspective. One that she hopes to keep them together after losing everything that has happen. Drake feeling more relax as their new family member they had made, Drake stick with them as they are the only family he can trust. He also appreciates the new change of life style from being a battle ready Pokémon alongside his trainer to a family pet member that is loved and cared. Sure, he does like the fights, but considering they never heard of Pokémon before, he'll adapt and live with his new owner as they used the term. Honestly, he's actually happier here and with Marcy then his former trainer. Yes, he was strong, powerful and earned rewards for his trainer. But at the end this was better, because he's more so treated with care by people that like him, even if he's label as some animal.

Currently Simon has enrolled Marcy to some School district. It was actually a good start as Simon has made friends that have help him, Marcy and Drake adjust to this new living space with great mysteries to unpack in this world. Marcy would finally make some friends and meet new people as they are considered normal in this world than their home world.

"Alright Marcy, you behave yourself." Simon said kneeling down to eye level.

"But I don't want to go to school, I want to stay with you." Marcy begged, scared and insecure about herself. A normal reaction to school and new environments, no doubt while they fit in nicely it didn't mean everyone is nice and sweet. If anything, it felt like your average life style where people are mean and nasty vs sweet and kind. Normal problems with exception of different species and races mix together.

"Ah don't be like that, you're still young and no longer have to worry about yourself. With this world it's actually a fresh start from our pervious home world, much different sure but way better in living life style. Now I know you would prefer staying with me, but think of it this way. You finally will have friends that are your own age. Me on the other hand I would be seen as your father if possible, and believe me that be weird. So, while this may scare you, know that you can build friends you can trust and those who understand you. I'll be awkward yes, but it's worth much when making friends." Simon said giving a pep talk to Marcy who is starting out school.

The children as mixer of species and races, from alien species that come and go so often but would live here for those that stay. To even Mythical creatures of myths and legends that you hear about in stories. Honestly it was amazing to have seen this many species and races together, including humans that are treated normal like any other folks. Of course, some people still are racist, forming crimes and gangs for themselves, but they were normal problems even humanity can't avoid or somehow stop without being tyrants. Yet it was like their home and worth staying over surviving for scraps and stuff.

"Peter is my friend." Marcy muttered, but Simon heard this and Drake felt her sadness as he snuggled against her for comfort. Simon knew this would be brought up, but they understood this was for the best. Better than having Marcy go through those dangerous places on her own even if Peter was with her the whole way.

"...Marcy... I know that he's your friend. But he chose to stay with them, that means dangerous situation would have happen and there is no guarantee they can protect us forever. Drake here is example of that and he's unable to fight fully since he got hurt." Simon said pointing out how Drake is not fully recovered, nor had any proper training as he can't exactly fight in his full potential.

"May be when they come back, you can hang out with Peter. But for now, its best we move on, you have an opportunity, a fresh start. And I want what's best for you Marcy, understand?" Simon looks into Marcy's eyes as she looks back yet still is reluctant about it. She finally nodded and agreed knowing it was for their own good. Simon gave one warm hug along with Drake as he knew this was for pets like him.

"Now go get them and show what you got." Simon encouraged. Nodding to this she left heading for school as she prepared herself with some confidence in herself.

"Well drake, she'll finally be safe and we have at least till evening to pick her up. We should get going, while I should get to work. Hopefully in the weekend we can explore those districts some more, I like to know what is this place about and how it began." With this they left as all three seek new futures and possibilities. Drake turning into someone that can be loved and protect those that matter, Simon taking in his new life and finding ways to live this new world, and Marcy heading towards the unknown yet guided by the light known as future. What holds for them presently, will remain mysterious. Yet in these mysteries the people, world, life and reality will give challenges and curve balls that are soon or later.

Mickey and Company Short

in

Where is my Box!

Box Car

Exploring the Box car has made things difficult. For one Mickey, Minnie, and Droopy are having some hard time deciding which way they should go or how they should escape this car. It didn't help that both Mew and Pac-man aren't that interest in escaping. In fact, they are having some fun time messing around with the boxes, seeing what's inside and prizes they keep. Venturing further down, they spotted some stacks of boxes almost like creating city of cardboard boxes. What interest both Mickey and Minnie is how the boxes are set up? Almost like someone or something had purposely made this city from these boxes. What even made things questionable is how many they are when looking around the entire car or at least what is assume surroundings. Either way caution is needed, but two of them didn't seem to mind too much.

"You know what, we might be lost." Droopy said, rarely you see him speak often, yet when it happens, they are very few in-between them.

"Well, we may know where we're supposed to go if someone guided us to the exit? But I guess that's not normal in your adventures?" Minnie turned to face Mickey when she said this, Mickey sheepishly looks at Minnie before facing the direction where he looked.

"Well, I-I don't... My adventures aren't always the same you know. Sometimes I have one adventure that has me shrinking down to actual mouse size, other times I end up on worlds where it feels like you have to some super powers to survive. And then there's..." Mickey stop himself from saying something of his past, one of them being how he landed on some dark worlds that made horror movies tamed because of how realistic they are without comparison.

"You alright Mickey?" Minnie asked now worried for her husband as any wife for them.

"Sorry, I lost track. Actually, now that I thought about it, this is actually your first time adventuring with us!" Mickey said smiling at her, she blushed when Mickey said this. Remembering all those times when Mickey would go off on his own, she would just hang back and say nothing as Mickey did his hero job as Keyblade Wielder. Now thinking about it, she wonders if she could come along and have these adventures with Mickey. Maybe even a date if the adventure is more simplistic.

"Your right! This is my first time, since you had that Keyblade you always been traveling worlds on your own." Minnie exclaimed cheerfully. But then started to frown when she remembers there were times, she could have said something or at least told Mickey about her feelings. In fact, you could argue that while they have had fights, it never got as bad as they are now. Maybe a part of her wanted to spend more time with Mickey and things didn't end up like that. Mickey also started to frown, also thinking of his time going on adventures that have cost him relationship with Minnie he should have cared more than his keyblade wielding job.

"At least your here, and we're now making this time for one another. If only it was in better circumstance instead of... this." Mickey sadly said, realizing he allowed his ego in some form of goodness to cloud his judgement and care for his friends. Although this has happened in the past and their show biz is always portrayed in fun and excitement, yet how can you do this when ignoring the realities in front of you.

"Well, we're here now, and I have to admit when traveling to worlds to save them not just from the darkness, but also helping others in small deeds is actually rewarding." Minnie confesses smiling to Mickey.

"...Maybe I can try and get us together as keyblade wielders." Mickey then realizes how selfish that is since he's forcing his ideas on her, "I-I mean... in seriousness I should spend more time with you. Take some days off if I can help it." Minnie smiled happy he's trying to think of her, they embrace each other and kissed in a loving moment.

Droopy, Mew, and Pac-man

But while that is going on Droopy had left keeping an eye on Mew and Pac-man, getting excited to see what is in the packages. Droopy knew for the most part that Mickey and Minnie needed to be alone because their own personal issues were something he shouldn't listen too or hear about their problems. One of the things he knows about relationships is matters between two people that are lovers are complicated and not spoken so easily. Droopy for his part wanted to respect their privacy because they had something they needed to settle for themselves.

Unfortunately Mew and Pac-man got so excited and curious about these packages that they almost keep opening them one after another, Mew helping to open more boxes. To say they are similar is an understatement, because some of them had cars, tanks, living rooms, lambs, the ridiculous among open is shown everywhere. But as they are moving through each box, something started to float overhead staring at them. But before they could do anything metal claw like hands tried to grab them.

Mickey and Minnie

When the two finished kissing each other, they had to remember they aren't alone. But they enjoyed it most after sometime not being together this long, if anything even if the adventure wasn't intended you could say they learned much from the experience. Even helping Fievel find his parents was something that made them closer than before. Now remembering their task, they have to move on if any of them hope to somehow escape this place.

"Gosh... I don't think any of our first dates felt this good." Mickey whispered admitting this was something different. Minnie couldn't help agree with him on that, this thought made her realize something she never notice before, and now she looks at Mickey in surprise by her discovery, "You know, there is something we always had despite our disagreement. That the closer we are, the more we could agree on things." Mickey cheeks redden as he realizes the same thing now.

"How did we get so apart?" Mickey wondered, but then both of them notice their hands started to glow and their numbers started to change a bit from 1,321 to 1,307 which is weird since both of their hands are similar to each other now.

"Hmm, why does it keep doing that?" Minnie wonders out loud, Mickey thought the same thing placing his hand on chin trying to solve this mystery. But then heard Droopy's gun and shouting from Mew from one direction. They just now realize that their teammates who are the quietest have left them alone. Fortunately, they could follow a trail that still leads the same direction. From what they are hearing it seems to be fighting going on, but by the time they arrived they notice some mechanical hands are trying to grab the trio.

"Oh, my goodness!" Minnie exclaimed at these hands grabbing them.

"Come on." Mickey already charges in as he rushed over to help take care of these guys trying to grab their friends. But as much as they began their fight, they could see more hands are appearing from the sky. Mickey used his keyblade and magic abilities to fight off the hands. Ranging from far off attacks like thunder as this struck two hands at once, then freeze one as it got too close, blasted at least three times with fire magic, and used both gravity and aero to attack both hands. Seeing how it wasn't working as much he used water to splash over all seven hands, Minnie pick this up and used her thundagun spell. Electrifying everything that has water on them, Minnie then continued to work as she attack all the other hands.

For Minnie it was both easy and hard, easy because her understanding of magic exceeds Mickey's own abilities. However hard because hand to hand combat or weapons combat is out of her field. She usually stays back as she doesn't want to be attack by the hands or supports Mickey as he protects her from harm. Yet the hands are starting to overwhelm them. With Droopy and Pac-man taken up Mew is able to escape by teleporting away.

Minnie is then grabbed as she gasps in surprise, then shouted, "Mickey Help!"

Hearing this Mickey turned and tried to save her, but that led to his downfall as he's grab too. Soon all four are lifted up towards the sky, when they arrive, they are soon able to see what they couldn't see down below.

"What the?" Mickey couldn't believe his eyes, there's some mail officer at the top. It's filled to the brim with many boxes that are being sent somewhere. But some of them appeared to be drop from above. The works seem to come in different shapes and sizes, as they are some animals that seem to work regardless of them being normal animals, some are objects that seem to somehow able to pack boxes and help around even without arms and legs. But what catches their attention is when they are being carried towards some control room that operates the hands, however when looking closer it's actually alive and has eyes on ends of the window along with speakers.

"Oh, look new workers, I just love new workers. It's so hard to find good help these days, so you passengers coming through the Box Car is most joyous. Oh, where are my manners, my name is Mail Operator. I'm the controller of this Box Car and your new Boss Forever." MO said it in happy voice it's almost creepy. Soon Mickey, Minnie, Droopy and Pac-man are given uniforms as they pass through some conveyor belt. Being held against their will they are sent through a machine that changes their clothes and places them in work uniforms. Between this Mickey and company tried to fight back, yet they couldn't escape the hands grasp that held them. Soon they are taken towards their station that seems to have them working separately from each other.

The uniforms everyone is wearing are tan-brown with markings like some letter with two wings on both shoulders. Black belt to keep the pants up, and any shoes or gloves remain the same. They also company with a cap hat with the words Passenger Worker or Denizens worker to identify the individuals of what they are or who is who alongside their names somehow written.

"I'm not doing this." Mickey immediately tried to leave; it was at this moment that something would have tried to stop as Mickey would have been forced to work. Yet nothing happens... like nothing stop him or tried to place him there. Mickey found this disturbing as he tried to figure out the catch. Always on these adventures there is a catch to everything. Yet nothing happens, already 10 steps and nothing. Causing Mickey to blink as he wonders why. Turning to the nearest person or whatever they are, sees a Great Gray Owl trying to place stuff in the box, yet couldn't as the owl keep having problems picking stuff up with the wings.

"Excuse me, the Owl I mean." When Mickey asked out, the owl in question turned annoyed by Mickey's interruption.

"Hold on sir, my name isn't owl. It's Martha Stoles, can't you read the name on my hat?" Martha said annoyed by Mickey's interruption.

"Right, sorry about that. Anyway, I need to asked, are you guys being forced to work here?" Mickey questioned hoping to have some answers to the situation.

"No, we're not." Martha then tried to work, only for Mickey to turn her around to face him.

"Why? Didn't he kidnap you and take you guys here?" Mickey asked again hoping he get something.

"...Not really." She shrugged, uncaring of what she's saying as Mickey couldn't help drop his arms in annoyance, "I guess your new around here so I should explain some bits. If you are seeing all those animals and objects here working, it's not that they are forced to work. More so they got lost when delivering the package to their respective cars." This explanation only furthered his confusion, not understanding half of what she just said.

"I don't understand what you mean by car? Are all these packages go to their own train cars or something?" Mickey clarifies the question.

"More so yes, some of the car's function without need or supplies or other stuff. But this car helps other cars for when they need more stuff or delivered to them. These animals and objects you see are denizens of this train. While there are people, they are residents of said car, we on the other hand are delivered to those cars as promised." Martha answered the best of her abilities.

"Promised?" Mickey found it curious as this conversation gone on.

"Those boxes down below, while you passengers don't have to worry about where you below. Those of us here working is actually trying to find our own box we came in, even more when objects are unboxed, they come to life as you can see working on these conveyor belts. They are then promised by the Mail Operator to send them back if they find their own boxes." Suddenly someone shouted in cheer, both turn to see the object as some waffle iron jump into his box as he's being delivered. The other workers don't see the problem with this as they are focus on making sure the boxes are taken care of.

"What you saw is why we are working free will. I don't belong here so I'm trying to find my box to be delivered towards the car. Now if you excuse me." Martha finished telling Mickey about why they are here, which he is starting to understand what is happening here. Not willing to dwell too much, he left his post as he continues to find the others while Martha is working on her own task.

Minnie

Minnie had the same idea and left, having been informed about the situation as well by some other coworkers at this place. She casually walks her way through... no literally she just walks without being caught, taken down, attack or anything. Which is weirder then expected, as she walks Mew appeared in front of her as he flew up and hug Minnie.

"Oho, good to see you too Mew." Minnie said happy to see him, Mew titled its head in some questionable way which Minnie understand.

"I don't know what's going on, but I feel that this place has something strange happening." Minnie said concern for the others lost in this place.

"HEY YOU!" Someone shouted, causing Mew to escape into thin air. When they arrived about four living objects appeared. One was some weird lamp with spikes on it colored in gray with red shades over the light. Another is some square wooden triangle, with four legs underneath the table struggling to run yet move the same. One purple hat with feather on top and some flashlight beside it having no batteries and is blind from what Minnie is seeing.

"Why did you let that thing get away, you with that freak?" The Lamp shouted in anger.

"Yeah, you should have strangled that thing. We almost had it." The Table also agreed with similar anger.

"Now hold on, what... did it do to cause such anger from you?" Minnie carefully asked, having heard some tales from Mickey how that sometime it's best to leave out some parts when asking question, pretend you don't know anything and it should clear up some answers. Since they are angry with Mew, that means something happen when they split up for a moment.

"Don't you realize what happen? We been unpacked. Those two freaks unpacked our boxes, we then are taken here to work for life no thanks to those monsters. We wanted to beat them up senseless before we get to work, but I guess you passengers are useless as ever. Come on Boys!" The Lamp commanded, and started to run off towards some random direction. The terms passenger seems to caught her interest, while yes, they are on a train, but to be called a passenger seems out of place since they had no desire to be here. Maybe it's more of a term for those who get on board this train, if that's the case then that at least explains somethings. Maybe it has some connection to the numbers they received.

Mew then appeared once more, worried for itself and others since Mew knew what it had done, "Don't worry Mew, it wasn't your fault. You just didn't know at the time, but at least you learn not to be curious all the time." Mew look done in agreement with Minnie, pondering on what Minnie meant. Suddenly Mew's number glowed brighter than before as it's number 23 change to 18. Minnie saw this along with Mew, she's now wondering what those number changes mean. While there is some hints and clues as to why, when dealing with the unknown always keep your mind open is what Mickey would say.

"Hmm, we should try to figure out why those numbers change. At least we will have some idea what we should do about it." Minnie said, Mew followed behind as Minnie went off in search of others. But then Minnie and Mew found Droopy and Pac-man shortly after.

"You two are okay." Minnie said happy to see those things didn't get to them.

"Yes, glad you noticed." Droopy said, as Pac-man look away unset with himself as he knew what those angry mob wants with him and Mew.

"Come on, let's find Mickey and hopefully sort this out." Following Minnie's led, everyone carefully climbs their way up feeling it was best they go the highest place for the time being as they need to figure this out.

Gathered Place

When everyone is gathered together, Mickey stood at the center as he faced everyone that is in the room. Pac-man is station beside Droopy as they both sat down with Mew also sitting beside them. Now able to look around this place, it's more like a factory for mail boxes delivered one way or another. There are two sets of conveyor belts that can fit all sizes of boxes. Each of them can have many items, supplies and other stuff. There are also floors that seem to go as far as five floors from ground to top. At the center of the bottom floor appears to be some open space with clouds covering the factory. This seems curious as it's concealing the boxes that could have fallen from above. The hands however seem to be operated by that machine they saw using the windows as eyes on both ends while the center windows have glowed when it speaks.

"Okay, so far things have been weird." Mickey started out.

"How is it any weirder than before?" Minnie asked not seeing what Mickey is speaking about.

"I mean that through our hiding there was no guards, those hands didn't stop us and nothing even tried to prevent us from leaving. That alone is weird, I feel there is more going on with that story." Mickey said unconvinced by what he thought about this place.

"Maybe you're overthinking it, not everything is a battle you know." Minnie stated knowing something can be solved with talking or actions of good deeds instead of violence.

Mickey shook his head saying she doesn't get it, "Minnie... I know we haven't been on adventures much, but maybe you should let professionals handle this stuff. Plus, when it comes down to it, yes half of the problems can be solved by talks and good deeds. But that only works when things are considered normal and not some freaky train with all these cars who knows how many, nor does that work on us fighting what can be considered fictional monsters or us fighting real life bad guys that are 2D villains even if their dumb. Honestly Minnie much as I would like to say there is some chance of peace talks, that's not happening anytime soon." When he said this his number along with Minnie increased, they turned from 1,307 to 1387. Everyone notices this and still wondered why it randomly happen without knowing why. Moments like these the truth is there and is already answered, but as people we're blind because the lies are the truth and truths are lies. This is given to us through birth and passed on by parent to child. So naturally knowing something wouldn't change it, but more so accepting it and living by it will change your life. At the moment Mickey and Company have no answer, so for now they have to accept it and move on.

"So outside of that anyone have any ideas what should we do?" Mickey asked for some ideas, more so from Droopy who is the only speaking person alongside Minnie that has joined them.

"Maybe we should seek out that place the hands are commanded from." Droopy offered.

"But what if it's guarded?" Minnie asked.

"...That's not a problem, come on-" Mickey is stop as Minnie interrupted his train of thought.

"Mickey Mouse, are you intending on just plowing through your problems instead of doing the right thing?" Minnie demanded.

"What do you mean by that? I'm just saying we're going up there and deal with it." Mickey said what he meant.

"And how do you intend on doing that? You are planning to just bust in gun blazing beating up anyone that comes across you?" When she asked this, silent happen to the point the crickets felt awkward by this atmosphere. Mickey couldn't even look at Minnie in the eye.

"You were going to go gun blazing!" Minnie accused.

"Minnie, this wouldn't be the thousandth time I done this with everyone-"

"You mean, you have been charging into places gun blazing without a plan or backup plan when things go bad?!" This only made it awkward as Mickey's own reaction couldn't hide the truth of the matter.

"MICKEY MOUSE, I would have expected someone who is king of our world to be more respectful than that, but to actually just beat people up because you could is inexcusable." Minnie exclaimed disappointed in Mickey.

"They been heartless Ma'am." Droopy added in Mickey's defense.

"So that's your excuse for breaking in and attacking someone that could be innocent?!" This shut everyone up as Mew sadly look at the group unsure what to make of it. Mew then started to leave as it couldn't handle this much tension from them.

"Minnie, you're taking this too personal. We have been doing this for a long time now and we know what we're doing." Mickey tried to assure Minnie.

"Is that how you justified this plan, because your experience? What if you been wrong all this time, what if you made all these mistakes and never thought about if your wrong about them, hmm? If that were the case then your just as bad as Pete, he has experience and he's still a bad guy that's working with that no-good Bluto who's destroying our home, trying to force all of our friends into some military of their works, and now..." Minnie couldn't go on as she started to cry some more. Mickey forgets the conversation and hug her dearly as he tried to calm Minnie down.

"There, there, I'm here." Mickey said, remaining quiet as Minnie continued to cry her eyes out. This gave Mickey some thoughts about what he has been doing and frankly, she's right. In fact, most of his adventures when it came to good guys vs bad guys, light vs darkness, heroes vs villains he never considered his actions and consequence of what he did. Guess he got carried away since the battle adrenaline feels good at times. There have been times he's wrong and has made mistakes since traveling to worlds that aren't his own. Once Minnie stops crying, she stood up facing Mickey again.

"Sorry Mickey, after what has happened lately I..." Mickey held her close as he stood holding her tightly.

"You're not exactly wrong about me, I have been going to world to world fighting so much, I tend to forget that maybe I shouldn't fight first instead try to talk about things. Honestly... I get so caught up in the thrills and excitement that I allow myself to take my keyblade and follow what's in my heart. Bugs maybe a trickster and has his own issues, but he at least knows when to run from fights to outsmart others instead of fighting them directly. I'm sorry that this wasn't something I mention in my tales or that you're not around. I guess... I stop thinking once I get into fights, maybe know how to fight, but not what truly matters." Mickey apologizes admitting to some faults of his past. Pac-man looks down sadden as he feels this was something he has done as well, not in other worlds but with the characters of his game. Droopy expression is mostly the same, but you can kind of tell he feels something as he has one tear go down.

Minnie holds on to him as they are able to makeup much quicker than before. Unfortunately, there might be more times this happens once in a while, Minnie wished that wasn't the case, but perhaps it was time they started to talk them out even if they are rough around the edges.

"That's okay Mickey, I guess with all these fighting and Bluto ruining our home, I just am tired of this fighting." Minnie also admits to her own problems. Mickey understands this as no doubt whatever is happening to their world isn't good.

"Then we better get back soon, if we have too, I will gather the greatest army of Cartoons from us, Looney Tunes and whatever ones from the classic era if I have too. Bluto has gone too far and has taken too much then we can count. It's time for us to finally take the fight to him and end his scheming." Mickey said making his small speech, but not loud enough to make noise around them. Mew came back sensing the tension has gone away, is happy things have work out.

Mickey then looks at Minnie's eyes as he wants to make up for his reckless behavior. He places his right leg on his knee, holds Minnie's left hand using both hands and looks in Minnie's eyes to say, "Minnie Mouse, my Queen of Disney Castle and the best wife of my life that I don't deserve. I have been unfaithful and ungrateful for my reckless behavior as of yet. Which is why as of now when this adventure is over, and we finally defeat Bluto. I will end my journeys to other worlds, never again fight the forces of darkness or bad guys. Because I have been ignoring the greatest thing I will ever have in my life. That's why Minnie Mouse, from when this is done. I will spend all my days with you and be a better king to my wife, friends, family, people, strangers and even my enemies. I promise you things will finally be different." Mickey swore as he knew that he needs to make things up and make right with Minnie.

This in turn shock Minnie more then she thought, yes what Mickey is doing is trying to make more time for her. But the fact that he's giving up his adventuring and helping others just for her... she wanted to be happy, yet something inside some pit is disappointed with herself. Realizing she is being more selfish than she will say, but at the same time desires him as much attention. Was it wrong to desire much attention as anyone else, or maybe it was more wrong not to take advantage of this moment? If anything, maybe it was better he's this way instead of trying to run off all the time.

"You realize that from this moment on I will hold your word?" Minnie asked to make sure he means it, when he stared at her eyes he nodded as his vow to her.

"I am." Mickey said without hesitation. Minnie brought him up and held his hands the same way he did.

"Then you mine if we try something different." Minnie asked, seeing this he understands that she wants to take another approach to reaching whoever is in charge. Smiling he and the Company will try something different for once.

Workstation

Mickey and company had no idea where they should look for the person in charge of this place. Mickey offered to find someone that might know what is happening, he went back to where Martha Stoles is located. Mickey sigh knowing this was good, but at the same time sadden he thought of her instead of trying to find someone that could offer some assistance. Mickey told the others to stand back as he would prefer talking with her face to face for now.

"Martha?" Mickey asked, she turned to see Mickey and company arrived.

"Oh, it's you? What do you want?" She demanded, not in any mood for games.

"Listen I know your busy, and you have somewhere to be, but can you at least help us know where we can find the boss of this place?" Mickey asked, Martha turned to face them unamused by his request.

"Look I don't know what your deal is passenger, but if you're trying to help me find my box I would gladly listen. If your here just to waste my time, could you at least bother me when I'm tired or something." Martha said, turning back to work on her station once more. Mickey saw he wasn't getting to her, but maybe there is another way.

"Then could you at least describe how you end up here? More accurately how was your box open at the time?" While Mickey did say they were going to get help to find the boss of this place. Mickey was also wondering how they ended up here instead of being down with the boxes. Some part of his mind wonder if she was force to be up here or something else happen.

"...It was some passenger that open the box." Martha answered, this surprise him as he would have guessed it was some sinister plot, but hearing it was a passenger really didn't set well as he realize they could have brought some of them here by accident. Seeing how Mew and Pac-man had open some of the boxes, it was a wonder how they messed that up. Mickey is starting to wonder that perhaps in his haste and thrill of adventure he has started to lose what it means to lead and have understand of the situation. Now is good of any time to see if he's still having some traits that he should have when interacting with people.

"Was it..." Mickey was finding himself hard to asked as he wasn't too sure if it was them or someone else.

"If you mean your friend, then no. I been here for some time now. But it was one of those passengers that came here when they tried to reach the other side. She started opening every package that was around and we started to come to life when the boss of this place picks us up and had us work in this factory. Some of us weren't pleased with this and tried to figure out what happen, eventually we found the boss and he told us what is going on. So now in order to get back we work for a living to make sure the packages are good and ready, and then if we find our boxes, we can pack ourselves in them and be delivered to our car. I have been working here since to find my box." Minnie and company weren't too far away when Martha explained her story to Mickey. From what they hear it sounds like she didn't even have a choice, but from what they are seeing none of them are complaining or questioning why they are here. This could be something they may have to be wary about when confronting this being.

"Gosh, I'm sorry to hear that." Mickey said seeing she has been here for some time without any way of escaping.

Martha gave a tired sigh as she has seen this before, "No it's alright, I just don't understand how Passenger's work when they come and go. Sometimes they are friendly, sometimes they are mean and sometimes they are just... I don't know. I rather have a clear-cut view of what I understand and know instead of working through the complicated stuff." She wished at least this was the case instead of trying to figure out or understand somethings. Passengers are a mystery to the denizens, or at least some of them as they mind their own business. Why they were created for passengers is another mystery to them.

"..." Mickey wasn't sure what he could say that give some helpful advice, but then Minnie walk up to talk with Martha.

"Sometimes we are complicate people, we don't always understand one another and maybe it's for the best. Because even if you understand some fully, there is always ways they surprise you." Minnie said this while glancing at Mickey, no doubt she is talking about his commitment and how he wanted the best for them. In some way this makes him happy that they are at least working on their problems instead of pretending they didn't happen.

"Maybe, still if you're looking for the exit you can go through the boss's office." Martha said to Minnie, bringing another shocking surprise.

"Yeah, I would be surprise too, that the exit is somehow connected to the boss's chambers. Most of the time when packages are delivered go through another way. Mostly down there is the exit for many delivered packages. They are sent through different means as they are place in different cars all around this train. I wouldn't be surprise when you exit there would be something flying around once awhile." When saying this, Mickey and Company are now curious as to why they haven't heard of this stuff flying over them. Unless it was bad timing on their part somehow.

"So, if we go up to your boss, the exit is there? But what about you guys, don't you want to leave this place and find your own car?" Minnie asked, wondering why couldn't they just leave and seek for the cars of their own. Martha took this as insult as she felt annoyed by them questioning her.

"Look I don't know if your new or just plain ignorant, but how could I leave the car when my wings wouldn't be able to open doors. Also, where would I go or where would I find my car. For all my abilities to move around I be lost and trap in a train that could be miles and miles away from where I be located. You passengers may have the smart ideas on how to do things. But that doesn't mean you understand what's it like being here and having nowhere to go. So, if your done leave me alone." With that angry burst, Martha turned away to do her own work. Minnie didn't know what could be said except many dos as she requested. But now part of her is hesitate on what is there next decision, because if she leaves then she couldn't go back and help Martha in this predicament, yet at the same time as her own problems that needs work on. She also is starting to see how Mickey feels at times, maybe the reason he fights as his first option is because the choices were against him or he could have a choice just it would be selfish of him.

Mickey decides to talk as Minnie watch Mickey speak, "Sorry for be insensitive, we should have considered what you're going through. If anything, I would like to offer some help..." Mickey glance at Minnie, knowing he has offered his help too much without any way of solving them. Minnie sees he's asking permission, looking into his eyes she can tell he will drop this if she wants him. At least he's being more considered of everyone's own situation and prioritize what needs done instead of trying to do everything. It was only couple of seconds when Minnie gave her answer as Mickey continued, "But at the same time if we're making things worse, we'll leave you and everyone alone. This all feels wrong to force you guys here, and maybe you could have another way of handling things." Mickey looks back taking the same advice Minnie wanted for them. She nodded in agreement as they face Martha.

"...If you want to help, could you guys at least find where I belong? I know that this is the life I chose and the life I didn't want. But if you could at least help me, find my home." Martha asked with hope in her eyes. Seeing this herself, Minnie is starting to learn much about Mickey's adventures, yes, they can be realistic or fantasy like worlds. But the way you interact with people, animals or anything is what shows your true character in life. Minnie knew then and there that maybe she did need to be more involved. While yes there is nothing wrong with helping yourself and those closes to you, but she has forgotten about helping others not for your own benefit, but more so for their future.

"We will help you, in fact you could say if you would like we would gladly have you join our group. But know that there will be many dangers and not all of them we can help protect you. If you're willing, we can find you a home somewhere or anywhere that is away from this place." Minnie declared, surprising Mickey as she looks at him smiling turned back to face Martha once more as she offered her hand to help, "Will you like to join us?" She asked, Martha look with hope for once and saw the others giving thumbs up to go for it. With nothing to lose she smiled and offer her wing to Minnie saying, "I would gladly like too." Both smiling as she officially joins their group.

"I will also show you the way towards the guy. He's on the upper floors and lucky he isn't too far as some of us here." Martha took the lead with Mickey and Company following behind to see the boss of this car.

Mail Operator

All six of them have arrived at the destination, from what they see it seems that so far no one has guarded the side entrance. In fact, even the hands haven't done anything to hinder them from progressing towards this room. If anything, this only made Mickey feel more unnerved by this atmosphere, the others feel the same as they couldn't help feel this place is too quiet for their taste. There should have been something at this point and yet nothing has happened which only made the feeling even more uneasy. When reaching this place, it was honestly easy then it looked. Causing Mickey to feel this place is horribly wrong as the workers down below didn't even bother to move or fight against their oppressor. This gave a chill as they should have expected something, yet nothing happens.

"Somehow this feels scarier than actual horror movies." Mickey couldn't help comment, leading the group as he held the keyblade in hand. Normally in his adventures he would have at least fought some guards or at least encountered something or someone. Yet somehow nothing is happening, like no one is stopping them, no one is trying to kill them or even stop their movements with traps and stuff. This gave a new feeling of fear as Mickey started to feel paranoid of something he wouldn't have thought of since worlds he visited that he swore never to visited again.

"You know, I knew about this place. But I just was so focus on myself I didn't notice what was happening around me. I guess I was blind by my own problems." Martha admits, Minnie started to understand as well feeling the same thing as she looks at Martha and the door in front of them.

"Well, no turning back I guess." Minnie said leading the group towards the door. But both Martha and Minnie stop looking back to see the others haven't even made movement towards the doors.

"Oh, come on, it's not that bad. We just have to give it a knock." Minnie went forward without too much fear, some parts of her felt fearful as the surroundings didn't help bring comfort to the situation. Granted she hasn't been on many adventures, more so kidnapped then anything since even in her show biz days. But this was her own plan, she went forward regardless of them atmosphere. Mickey tried to stop her by getting in front, yet when seeing Minnie's eyes, he couldn't help see the determination in them. Once she steps towards the doorway. But just as she was about to knock, the doors open without any notice and rolled out a red carpet greeting them inside.

"Well, that wasn't ominous." Droopy comment as Minnie somehow felt more confused, yet toss her emotions side to show bravery in face of danger. As they walk inside the doors behind them shut without making any noise. Now that they have arrived, nothing seems to happen nor anything for that matter. Normally they would at least be greeted or shown something, but nothing has happened.

"Somethings not, right?" Mickey said with his guard up.

"Strange, I thought we be greeted or at least heard them say something by now." Martha is also weirded out by this absence of life.

"Hmm, maybe we needed to make some appointment. That probably would have made some difference." Minnie suggested as she too is starting to feel scared by this atmosphere.

"So... I guess they aren't here?" Mickey figured, but that shouldn't be the case. In fact, many of the workers they talk said the officer is right up here, but never once did say how they can talk with the manager. After periods of silence, Pac-man started to wonder a bit as he would look over some place, Mew is also interested as it flew up to check around the ceiling and other sorts.

"There has to be something we are missing, maybe something we haven't seen yet." Minnie concluded, unsure if this was the correct path to approach the situation. But as they check the place above them slowly appeared what is a floating tv screen that slowly lowered itself down from behind. When they heard a weird noise, everyone turned to face the noise to discover it was some TV screen as it lowered until it stops. Once it stops everyone glanced at one another and slowly made their way towards it. Then it came to life as the screen turned on from static to showing something.

Good day everyone! I hope everyone is comfortable with their work space, as reminders or first timers this recording will give the run down as to what we do here.

From the way it announced itself, you could mistake it for some odd commercials from the 60s to 80s. Then the screen changed to reveal what is the background of this car as it describes every detail.

First you should know to everyone that is a passenger, this car is created by our creator the Conductor! A Powerful being that creates the cars and has been creating more cars, why the Conductor does this we don't know, but we do know that passengers come and go. Some have stayed for a long time that they never leave even years after their arrival. Then there are those who have come and still killed, mostly because they made themselves the bad guys or something. But then some passengers leave the car behind, how they do this is through the use of these numbers on your palms. Passengers have this numbers and all they need to do is reach zero and leave. However, they are heavily relied on interactions with the denizens who are residents of each car. As your boss, I am those denizens that rule over this car.

So now that you have the basics, let us begin with what we do around here. This box car as everyone labels is actually a mail room. See before piles after piles of boxes you saw down below, I used to have a workstation to sort this stuff out. But in the day demands were at least manageable, yet as time grew, I had to sort out what I could deliver and what was keep behind. Eventually I had to deliver every box that was here towards the station cars. How that works is simple, a machine is operated with small spheres or large ones to deliver towards each car. The spheres are what allows me to deliver every box that can be delivered. Now some of you asked why not letters, well to be frank letters don't get out of cars. Having each car as one world separates us from others. People like me can know of other cars if we travel outside of these cars.

Getting straight into the point, what happen was I became overwhelmed. Too many orders and too many loads of boxes that can be delivered. So, in order to fix this problem, I had workers that are from boxes accidently opened to help me sort out this mess. Most workers are Denizens as they are good people helping a lonely machine like myself to work and sort out this problem. So now anyone that ends up lost or unpacked they will work for me in order to find their own boxes. Passengers can be tricky as they have disloyalty and lying tongues, but I'm sure you five don't have that do you-

After finishing its explanation, more screens started to appear. The screens then started to form into one large face as about 8 screens formed the mouth while four screens on each side made the eyes. The eyes are filled with static until it showed a blank white screen as two black dots appeared. As for the mouth a thin red line from one side to another appears as it's like forming lips and mouth. Mickey and Company prepared themselves as they felt this could get ugly at some point. Yet all they saw was screens forming into a face that makes it even more creepy as they couldn't help feeling disturb by his appearance.

Hello workers and welcome to my Box Car! I am the Mail Operator, the heart of this car. I see my workers are unsatisfied if they are willing to come here.

Mickey stood in front of Minnie in case something went wrong. This feeling he has about this guy seems off, more so everything that has happen should have happen in a way that's familiar to them. Most of the time they would have charged in and starting fighting guys that would fight back. It was also at this moment that Mickey realizes that Minnie was right, he has been focused on his approach to fight over talking it seems to get out of hand. What makes it even worse is how he wouldn't try and solve the problem in better ways.

"Mr. Mail Operator we would like to make a compliant." Minnie said, Mickey and company look at her as she said this without worry wondering what she has planned.

I see, can you describe this compliant so your experience here would be more comfortable? Also call me boss, I am in charge of this factory.

"Well Boss, I just wanted to know why everyone has to work for you even though you seem capable of taking care of this place." Minnie asked, when she first saw the recording, it gave a clear idea what has happen. Yet some of what is explained seem off like it's incomplete, like they only heard his side of the story and no one else. Martha is carefully listening to the conversation, knowing full well this could determine her next path in life. If there is some hints she could have left, then maybe there is a way, but if there isn't then she would stay here for now.

Hmm, you passengers want to leave. Then go on ahead, the door is actually in my brain behind you.

When M.O. said this, a smaller hand for his so-called brain pulled a lever that opens a secret door. And in truth is the door in front of them, this honestly surprise Mickey and Company as they couldn't help feel something is extremely wrong here. Even Martha is feeling confused and conflicted about this action, what even made it worse is how the so-called boss is letting the passengers go without a fuss. In fact, now she thought about Martha never question or seek out answers to these problems or why this had happened. Now she knew there is a way out, she can't ignore what is happening nor pretend that her boss is not stopping them from leaving.

"Wait a minute, are you just going to let us go when we don't feel like staying?!" Mickey exclaimed, already feeling dread. Because one thing he learned greatly at some point is when those who know are doing bad are calm, nice, allowing you to decided or anything that common villains would have done, it means that they are dealing with a far dangerous threat than anything you could face. The idea that this guy will let them go means the Mail Operator will snap unexpectedly, nowhere on sight or do something horrible with cheerful glee. Mickey's body is filled with terror as if something was about to break by just saying one word and the unfortunate part of this confrontation is they are smack dub in the middle of the predator's lair.

Why certainly, you see I don't expect passengers to be nice and kind. But I do love their help when they come and go, but denizens however must stay here. For they are willingly to work for their own freedom, even better they have been able to sort out every box that exist in this car. Sure, they may stay and help out from time to time, but they aren't friendly or reliable. Which is why I let you go; I mean it's not like you could stay to finish this room and then move on. No, your passengers have this agenda and your own problems that when your asked for help, you rather ignore these pleads and fix your own first. But in reality, no one fixes their own problems and needs others to help. So, this place you see is where workers are helping me and I help them return home. If you need to leave, go on ahead, but that owl stays here as she needs to help find her own box.

When it was finished explaining, this cause some of them to tread carefully with Mail Operator and have heighten sense as they can't help feel dread being in the same room as this thing. Minnie on one hand is starting to feel more so what Mickey feels at times, she also wonders how could Mickey face such darkness on some worlds and still have some personality of himself. This feeling of consist fighting really seems a miserable life when other solutions are available, but with people like this thing it's a wonder how worlds remain intact after selfish decisions are made. Minnie glared at this thing and stood up close enough as she intensely stared at it. But before speaking she took deep breaths and wanted to settle this peaceful until it's resorted into violence.

"Mr. Operator, I would say that's a generous offer. But I must decline if our friend Martha couldn't join us outside of this car." Minnie said, surprising Martha that Minnie is willing to bring her along.

...I'm sorry, but I thought you said your bringing a denizen that is from my property?

"Property? She has a name and feelings Mr. Operator and I appreciate you didn't pretend you didn't hear me asked about bringing her along, besides she is after all one person leaving the car with us. We aren't leaving anyone behind." Minnie stands firm in this stance; she wasn't going to back down because of what someone said or how they are in desperate need of assistance.

I will not accept this request. That denizen works for me because it was created in this factory, I hope you didn't skip what I had explained when revealing myself, but there is much work to be done and too much stuff that this denizen needs to work for me in order to help herself. If you are assistance of staying with your friend, then you have wasted our time. Work needs done and I will not have you question my authority in this car!

Already everyone is feeling tension from this confrontation. Apparently, this machine lost its cool the moment they tried to bring Martha along with their journey This only made things suspicious as this being no doubt is trying to abuse his position of power to keep the denizens as he called everyone working for him. Minnie is trying her best, yet all her attempts are being avoided, if she continued fighting will have to be the answer to solve the problem, now she felt maybe she should have just listened and allowed Mickey to take charge.

"Then maybe we can help find her box." Droopy said after being silent and listening to the conversation for a while.

"Droopy's right, if all we need is her box, then wouldn't that mean she can leave with us. And maybe we can help solve some of the problems with the other denizens to find their boxes and then help you somehow." Mickey added, surprising Minnie he's taking this approach since all she sees is him being willing to fight, maybe she didn't give him enough credit as she assumed.

"I know this is a long shot, but maybe when we work things out together, we can solve this issue that everyone can benefit." Mickey reasoned with Mail Operator, he turned smiling towards Minnie who also smiled in returned.

Unacceptable.

They heard him speak, but sounded like muffling his own voice.

This is UNACCEPTABLE!

Suddenly out of nowhere the Mail Operator's form started to change from all the screen that make up its mouth snap in half, shattered screens that appear like rigid teeth and wires spewing out of its mouth but also are what connects the broken TVs together to form mouth movement, the two eyes are now split into four pairs of eyes slit sideways as he stares at them with dark intentions. Minnie stood behind along with Mew who stood in front floating as Mew is willing to protect her at any given moment, alongside Martha who is witnessing this moment, still unable to process all that she's seeing right now and how things no longer make sense. Pac-man stood alongside Mickey at the center and Droopy beside Mickey as they prepared to face down this machine.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK ALONE HERE? HAVE YOU EVEN BOTHERED TO SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE DOWN BELOW AT HOW LARGE THIS PLACE IS LIKE THOSE OTHER CARS? I MEAN REALLY, YOU LOT EXPECT ME TO WORK TRIELESSLY DAY AND NIGHT TRYING TO HELP OTHERS TO SORT OUT THIS PLACE AND YOU DARE ACT LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR EVERYONE! WHICH IS WHY THOSE DENIZENS SHOULD WORK FOR ME, AND NOT HAVE YOU TAKE AWAY MY WORKERS THAT I FOUND IN THOSE BOXES!

In that moment, Minnie and Martha couldn't believe what they heard from this machine. Minnie knew bad people exist and wasn't ignorant or naive to believe otherwise, but what she didn't count on was the feeling from this moment and how it affected her and friends alike. This really makes her own point harder as Mickey was right to assume a fight would happen. Maybe sometimes violence is the answer, but for now Minnie will have to focus on the battle ahead, yet out of everyone Martha is most affected. She just realizes from his confession that the reason she is here, the only reasons she had to work which by all rights she couldn't is because the Mail Operator open her box and force her along with other Denizens to work regardless if they are capable or not. Martha's reality had crumbled into dust as she knew now everything was manipulated and abuse his power for his own benefit and no one else. The others weren't that surprise as they figure this was something to happen, but maybe it was M.O.s approach that threw them off. Trying to appear nice and friendly should have been a given yet they are blinded by his attitude and the factories set up.

"It was you? You're the reason me and everyone here had to work our entire lives for you, because you open our box!?" Martha exclaimed almost furious at what she learned today.

Don't act so surprise, truly some of you must have at least expected this to happen? But then again, we're denizens. Our only purpose in life is to serve the so-called conductor. He created us out of nowhere all for what? For those like you to come and go as you please, to bring ruin to our lonely lives because it was necessary or something much more in mind.

"Now hold on, aren't you over reacting-" Mickey resorted if the Mail Operator didn't interrupt his train of thought.

OVERREACTING! You try to fill in the shoes of one lonely machine, working tiredly to give all these packages to ungrateful denizens. Who simply demand more and more supplies when they could have supported for themselves? Or even may be give a helping hand to this old working machine?! But no, they simply asked for more than what they got. Could they have at least given some support for this lonely machine, YES! Could they have at least done something about this car that could my work place, YES! Could have our Conductor at least done something different, YES! But no, instead we are used for passengers like you! We're nothing but slavers to your will as you please, we're simply here to "Help you learn" as we're told.

The more they hear M.O.s rants the more they get some idea what is happening. From what they are hearing the train cars is supposed to be for their learning experience. Mickey is able to take this much inform even when a fight is coming around. But that just leaves more questions than answers. For now, they have to focus on what this guy might pull next. The only reason they aren't attacking is because the Mail Operator is monologuing like those before they fought. Even if they are annoying, they still have information that is necessary for their victory. However, another feeling bottled inside some of them is how this Mail Operator is given emotions and is truly feeling lonely for many years. How long as he been here is anyone's guess, but from what they understand is he's not exactly enjoying his working space. No doubt the loneness is what drove this machine into madness.

I gave you passengers a way out, I gave you one way ticket to escape what is to happen. But since you refuse, YOU WILL BE TOSSED ASIDE!

The combine might of both Mickey and Minnie's Thundragun spell. This caused an electrical short out as the Mail operator is being fried screaming as it has never felt pain like this before. Soon all the factory from above is shut down, once this is finished Mickey used the light magic to give light into the room. When looking at the Mail Operator they couldn't believe how easy the fight went it was insane.

"How anticlimax." Droopy bluntly said, as everyone couldn't help agree except for Mew and Martha who weren't too sure of the situation.

"Gosh, I didn't think we hit him this hard? Usually, they get right back up and we go into some crazy fight." Mickey said unsure what to do with this situation. Minnie walks towards the now down Mail Operator as she felt sympathy for the old machine. As she looks at the machine, she couldn't help think about what it was doing. Seeing this machine just wanted some help was probably what drove it into this mess. Minnie would have hated this it for being this way, but maybe that's what they shouldn't do. Maybe they can do something about its problem even if it's not fixed immediately. She stood up and face everyone as she spoke, "We should help rebuild him up." Minnie declared, everyone that is used to these fights are looking at Mickey in shock.

"Now look I know that isn't what your used to doing after you beat someone up. But we should consider what happen, he's just a lonely machine who wanted some company while working here. We can't just leave things the way they are now." Minnie said knowing they have to stay and help clean up.

"Hold on, what about everything he has done. After being here for years and still we could have gotten out at any given moment. You just going to overlook that?!" Martha demanded, feeling there is some need of payback after all these years. Minnie shook her head saying no to Martha's demands.

"I get it, you feel that he deserved your wrath, and you need to punished him. But you also have to consider why this happen, this poor thing may not have the right reasons. But that doesn't mean we can't give him a chance to at least explain himself. Sometimes when people do bad things, they only did them out of desperation or something they believed was right. If you did something wrong and you know what you did is wrong, wouldn't you want us to forgive you?" Minnie asked Martha, she lowered her head nodding yes, she would.

"It may take some time, but we shouldn't leave it the way things are now." Minnie said, while most are reluctant, they couldn't say no when she made a point. So, Mickey, Droopy and Pac-man would start to help to some repairs, while Mew, Minnie and Martha would look around to see if there is anything they could use to help the workers and other denizens around.

Bugs and Company

Late Pay!

Infinity Train/4 Days later

While they stayed in Hollywood for some time, they had both recovered and partied hard for all the animals getting their jobs back and making it big once again. Now their names are not only cleared up, but also have opportunity to gain jobs they had wished for some time. L.B. Mammoth wanted to personally thank them for not only taking care of the monsters, but for also helping future stars of Hollywood. As they are given thanks and party, they are also paid for about 2 million Dollars. At first, they didn't want it, but they insisted as they help them big time when Darla almost got away with her deeds. Unable to reject the offer, they took it as they could convert that money into Munny so that it's more suited for many world travels.

Once they exited out of the door where they will return back to the Infinity Train, Bugs couldn't help sing that little tune as he still is energy from the party.

"Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now!" Bugs exclaimed.

"I see your having some fun." Donald said as he's the last to walk out with Jerry on his shoulders.

"Looks like this maybe a routine for now, traveling from here and back." Popeye said as he could the next car in front of them.

"So you think they will be okay." Donald asked as Bugs stops to ponder this thought, but answered quickly, "They'll be fine."

Bugs would face Donald to explain, "I mean sure it was rough and brought back lots of memories, but overall, they should be okay." Yet despite his explanation, many of them weren't convinced.

"What about the keyblade? You know what happens when someone is chosen by the keyblade." Donald knew from experience that him, Goofy and Mickey had encountered others that have gain the keyblade. Sure, there are some that join the fight of light and darkness, but not all of them wanted to fight and had lives of their own life on many worlds.

"Well so long as he doesn't use the keyblade and only when heartless appear, they should be alright. Beside two ways to get rid of majority of heartless keyholes lock or defeat their boss. Because we defeated the boss, Danny should be okay for now." Bugs wasn't too confident on the plan as he would have liked. If anything, he would have to at least think those who chose not to use the keyblade are given the option.

"I don't know about that? When the last time I heard from those guardians, they been recruiting many keyblade wielders as of late. Mickey has kept quiet about some of them, and I hope they are living happy life. But I feel that someday this will have everyone involved." Donald expresses some fears, not just for Danny but for the future. While this may seem like paranoia, there is some truths as it seems the worlds are acting very differently than before.

"Maybe that is true and Danny may get involved with other worlds. But we with us taking care of the heartless, there is no doubt things will only get harder, we did more than enough for Danny and his friends to survive the rough times. We can only hope things will work out in the end." Popeye tried to assures them, but wasn't doing any better than them.

"In any case, we should take this one day at a time. I mean we're practically going to be going places for some time now." Bugs said as he waves his arms to express their current surroundings as everyone started to get.

"Well... Okay, I guess that's fine. So, we should get going right?" Donald said as he marches off towards their next destination. Bugs smiled as they followed behind preparing for what is next.

Library Car

As they entered, they are greeted a sight to behold. Columns after columns of books that seem like some library of some sort. What even more odd is there are many of them are chickens and rooters. Which is odd since rooters are usually loudest since they crow in the morning. Not questioning it, they soon moved forward as they explore this new car.

"Wow!" Bugs, Donald and Popeye exclaimed, but because they made loud noise everyone shush them as they pointed using their wings at the sign saying quiet or whisper. Getting the picture, they made their way through until they saw something that could help them. A Chicken by the looks of her stood in her Cinnamon blouse shirt which oddly fits as she examines some of the books. When they arrived towards her, they found that she seems to be going through some books, one pile in particularly large are books that needs to be paid.

"Good evening passengers, are you finally here to pay your own late fee." She asked them, this only brought confusion as to why they are being asked this question.

"Um... what?" Donald wasn't sure how to respond to that question.

"Oh, come now, you must have some idea what you did. But then again you are new passengers." She muttered towards the end, trying to rethink about the last time, she shook her head and continued, "Anyways, my name is Ms. Doubtfire. Here you have all the books in the world you can read and write if possible. Many of them contain certain knowledge of this train while others are from the outside world. "

"Why do I feel you're getting paid to say that?" Bugs comment with deadpan stare.

"Oh yes, I am. However there have been problems with passengers that come around here. Some steal the books and while others have simply taken them without asking permission. So regardless since your here I would like if you would start voluntary work over there. If you resist, we will send the roosters after you. Afterall they are the best chicken fighters around." When she said this about 8 Roosters walk towards them. While not muscular, they are intimidating when they stare at them waiting and watching their every move.

"Well, that isn't terrifying." Popeye said as Jerry and Mr. Game & Watch silently agreed.

"Now that you can see our security, we will escort you towards other fine chickens and roosters that will need assist in the everyday life of our library-"

"Hold on, you say we have a late fee, how much do we owe you?" Bugs asked hoping they can solve these issues peacefully, after their last adventure they don't need to have another brawl here.

Curious herself, Ms. Doubtfire look up the information that is written as she spoke, " 20,507,083 Worms." When told of this, Bugs and Company had to retake what they just heard.

"Did you just say 20,507,083 worms? As in worms from the ground?!" Bugs couldn't help exclaim towards the end.

"Yep, we don't accept anything but worms for payment. If you like we can say you over where we gather the worms and you can repay every cent for each of them." She explained.

"QUACK! That take too long!" Donald cried out not liking where this is going.

"Hold on, could you give us a minute." Popeye asked, they turned to huddle so that no one could hear them.

"Okay how do we do this?" Bugs asked whispering. Jerry is then jumping onto Bugs shoulder as he gave his own hand signs to express what can be done. He's mostly saying they could try and gather all the worms without getting into fights.

"I don't know, this feels like we have no involvement with this problem. Doesn't feel right when they should have been here to fix this instead of us." Donald said not liking they are being shoved into a concern for someone's mess.

"Maybe, but we have to remember. This train seems to operate on their own set of rules, more so these cars since judging by the last one wasn't exactly fun either." Bugs stated what they went through last time even though Donald wasn't around.

"Bugs right, we should at least play along until we understand better of this train instead of rushing through it." Popeye said in agreement, seeing he's outvoted even by Jerry and Mr. G&W who also agreed sigh to himself.

"Okay, but we shouldn't take too long, we have other plans anyhow." Donald reminded them they can't do this all day.

"Yeah, we should do this like the old days, maybe we'll actually get a break then." Bugs agreed.

"Honestly that would be nice for a change without being too serious, traveling worlds and fighting people isn't much of a life." Popeye said what everyone is thinking. Without much of a fuss, they followed the roosters towards where they will be station for the time being.

Worm Pit

"Oh boy." Is what Bugs is saying for everyone. When they finally reach the place, it was one large section of dirt that seems to go deeper than what it appears. Most of the dirt is covered in some box in the middle of some library, why they have some weird dirt cube is beyond them. But from what is seen so far, the roosters and chicken at the register are either offering worms or taking them. Which showed that the payment is meant to be some exchange.

"What you are seeing is worms being pulled from the dirt, given two different side of either payment as dried up worms and live worms that are being eaten. You will have to register down there to have your nametags for voluntary and do other stuff that is asked of you. Speaking of voluntary, I would like you... I'm sorry I didn't even bother to know your names? Normally passengers come and go and we don't see them again. Some don't even stay and try to rush through this car for their own means, since you chose to stay could you tell me your names?" Ms. Doubtfire asked.

"Sure, names Bugs Bunny."

"Donald Duck."

"Popeye the Sailor."

"And those two are Mr. Game and Watch while the smallest guy is Jerry the Mouse. They can't speak for themselves, but can-do sign language if you understand." Bugs said for the last two. What surprise them is two roosters trying to write their names. Since they have wings, they can't physically grab them one held clipboard while the other wrote down the names using their feet. It made them appear flexible with the way they are bending their legs back.

"Thank you for your corporation and understand. We don't get many passengers that would take responsibility regardless it's their fault or not. Still there is much more to be done and you will have to work on top of the worm pit. Good luck." Ms. Doubtfire said, she walks off with Mr. G&W and Jerry walk where they will be stationed. Bugs, Donald and Popeye saw this could take some time. But they would have to do this if they are planning to move forward in this world.

Truth be told, despite them having the ability and power to get themselves out of most situation, at least half of them they could have solve these problems peacefully. That and some problems they tend to ignore out of habit for comedy, in show biz when problems were made comedic, it was supposed to bring laughs. But since leaving those days behind, they had to move on from what they were doing those times. While they are living new lives, they aren't able to adjust so well without returning back to their roots, sure they are different from back then but still kept themselves active even if they are visiting friends from others during their era. But when they started to travel towards different worlds that still are the same earth and time periods. It was harder for them to not act like their cartoon selves.

The changes now are they are less comedic and have more power, still maintaining some of their traits, they still had more problems as the world didn't seems to make things go smoothly but instead worse than before. Bugs being the example of someone who still has his character traits from his old times, but sometimes hasn't been helpful on some worlds. It was always fight, fight, fight or make a joke of the situation. Now that they are more active in reality instead of the cartoon worlds, they have to be more careful or considered of their position. Every now and then they are reminded of this fact, this situation they knew that just doing whatever you want doesn't help anyone. Yes, they have problems of their own with Bluto changing someone's home world, bad guys starting to appear left and right to attack them or the world. Monsters are their common problems now as the heartless and others like it aren't helping their situation. And now they are separated from each other and find out their friends are scattered towards other worlds if it wasn't for Scrooge McDuck, Luigi and others to help rescue them. Fortunate enough the power they are using to travel has been very helpful in finding their own friends as of late. So doing something like this is nice change of pace.

"So, I guess we get started?" Popeye asked, as they started to walk downstairs as Bugs leads them.

"Guess so, on the bright side we don't have to fight any monsters or bad guys at the moment." Bugs said on the positive side.

"True, but this feels like this train will have us stop and go all the time. We have other important things to focus on instead of doing all of this stuff." Popeye pointed out.

"Are you saying we should pretend to help them and somehow sneak off?" Bugs questioned Popeye's view point.

"I'm not saying that, but you have to have notice that this train has some weird rules to the world. It almost feels like when we enter these cars, they somehow contain their own miniature world of their own. I find that very suspicious considering how many travels we been on some worlds. Not to mention the worlds we never want to visit again." The last part Popeye mention had darkened their moods to the point of silent graveyards were just built there. Just the mention of "Unspoken worlds" they had visited as the darkness can turn all cartoon and video game characters into depressing or crazed individuals.

"Please don't do that, I rather not think of those worlds." Bugs begged before they sink into depression.

"Just the mention of those worlds we traveled is enough to lose all my feathers if possible." Which Donald spoke true as his feathers started to fall down somewhat when they stood in one place, "Still I would have to agree with Popeye, this isn't our problem and we have meddled in this worlds affair long enough. Sure, we're stuck here, but we have to remember we got separated from the others. Not to mention we should focus on gathering enough people to invade our world and stop Bluto from turning it into some military base. We survive this long with other worlds because we didn't need to build military power. With the state of the worlds now... I don't know what's going to happen." Donald said, worried for his friends and remain focus on the bigger picture as some call it.

"Look, I get it. We should be focus on our own things and help those we can help. But that's not how the world works nor is it the right things anyways. If we just left this world without considering what's going on, then we be no different than those guys we fight. I mean we fight them because they did something immorally wrong, this isn't like those show biz if they did wrong with us, we do the same with them." Bugs then look at the audience and place his hand on his side away from Popeye and Donald to say, "Even though it means war?" Bugs stated as his usual quote.

"Besides all those stuffs, the idea of some keyblade wielders being protectors is a load of crap. And we three know that's all load of crap they place on themselves. Sure, the times have change and it's more modernize society, but if they wanted things back to the old days or want people to change. You can't look on the sidelines and act like these people can change on their own. I should know, I mostly haven't change on my own and I can be selfish enough to ruin another man's life if I darn well pleased. But that's because I was created in the time when ruining another guy's life is what they deserved or made fun of for some joke. That's not who we are now, this is more so complicated because we know more." bugs then face Donald specifically and stated, "I know we had some disagreement and you were right. But we shouldn't ignore this even if it's not our fault-"

"But it isn't our fault, we shouldn't even be doing this stuff." Donald pointed out the flaw of this mindset.

"True, but they don't know that. Think about it, they all believe we're the same as those that came before us. No doubt these numbers have made them think this otherwise we wouldn't be doing this stuff right now. But what happens if we leave like those before us. What's to stop these guys from hurting the other passengers that have to get involve because of someone else's problem. Truth of the matter Duck, that if we just leave, we be no different than those that came before us. And if we did leave the next people will have a harsher time then we are now. I don't know about you, but I think that's a big enough picture then you gave it credit. Sure, what we do is small, but that would matter more then all those artists who painted pictures in one go." It was sometimes crazy that Bugs happens to be wiser and reasonable then most of the time. Sure, he is a trickster and nuts at times. But that's his nature of cartoon creation, for Donald and Popeye it felt like they been smack upside the head when realizing Bugs is right. Almost saddening and annoying when that happens.

Sigh "I guess you're right, but I never thought you be the smart one between all of us." Donald said agreeing with Bug's logic.

"Eh I have my moments duck, so let's get this going shall we." Bugs said leading them towards the register.

Bug's Job - Worm Pits

After they got register as volunteers, they went off on their own. Bugs for his part is station at the Worm Pits while the others are to work on other projects around the place. Since he's good with digging placing him here is the best pace for now.

"Alright this should be easy." Bugs then started to dig in some rabbit holes. He made sure to be around the center as he would make some mess, as he digs down further into the pit, he found some good spots where the worms are located.

After some minutes have come and gone, he has gathered at least 200 live worms. But unfortunately for him, the chickens and rooster are also eating the worms that made things harder for him to pay up.

"Are you saying I haven't even paid one worm for the late fee?" Bugs asked in surprise.

"That's right Mr. Bunny, the number of worms you will need will have to be at least hundreds more then what you have gathered. If anything, those 200 worms are enough to feed 3 chicken coops. Enough to feed our children with all the necessary food." The Rooster said named Harold. He's a stuff brown rooster with puff wattle below his beck, and curled up comb on his head. He's wearing a green suit covering his upper body that is mostly golden-brown feathers.

A/N: Pretend that this chicken as the same voice actor for the Buzzard, Cecil Turtle and others that sound like the voice.

"Okay first, don't call me Mr. Bunny, it makes me sound old and my dad would be called Mr. Bunny." Bugs looks at the audience to say, "If I had parents." Then faces Harold to continue, "And second, how much are you able to eat in a day?" Bugs asked catching on about how Harold is unable to eat a decent meal despite being fat around the waist.

sigh "Truth be told, we actually don't have a proper outside of bird seeds and bread. You see while we have plenty of food here, the worms in these cube boxes are what provide us proper meals. Sure, we have the bird seeds and bread for our daily meal, but they aren't exactly what you would call healthy choices. We have had a problem with us gathering enough food for the day. The worms as you know are not exactly easy to catch. You would have to dig underground to have enough just for you and anyone who hasn't eaten worms before or has. Sure, we can use our feet to dig underneath, but even than we would need something more if we are to somehow gather enough worms per day." Harold explained the struggles they have had for some time now.

"Ah I see the problem. No doubt that while I may try to pay our late fee, you would still need enough food for your family and children. So, what you need is enough food for yourselves so that when we do have enough worms it be process as payment correct?" Bugs self-explained what needs to happen.

"Exactly." Harold answered.

"Hmm, so if by chance I were to gather enough food for you and everyone in this car? How much would I need to gather exactly to your average day to day bases?" Bugs asked, wanting to solve these issues for both parties to agree on. Harold took a moment to think about it, even used his feathery wings to count as he calculated how much is needed.

"Well, if your serious about feeding all the chicken coops Mr. Bunny. If you were to gather enough food for at least 500 chickens and roosters that live in this car, plus the regular 3 course meals that some people get of at least 50-300 worms per Chicken, that would at least leave you 25,000-150,000 worms you would need to gather per day." Harold told what is the amount, however Bugs reaction was something he didn't see coming, "TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND TO ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND!" This scared everyone out of their shoes if they could wear them as Bugs continued shouting, "OH I'M DYING!" This led to Bugs getting bonk on his head by Harold, as Bugs fell with a goofy grin mix smile as he watches the worms dance around his head.

"Shhhhh, quiet Mr. Bunny." Harold reminded Bugs, no doubt this would take some time for him as Bugs knew this won't be easy.

Donald's Job - Book Organizer

While Bugs is going to have a field day, Donald's job wasn't sunshine and rainbows either. If anything, he needed to help reorganize some of the books that seem to be misplaced and stacked at the wrong location. This is probably the worse job anyone could volunteer as Donald has to work on sorting out these books in the right order. The problem came when Donald was starting to get the hang of stacking the books. But just as he was about to place one book at the right place, one book fell off causing a loud noise to be heard.

Donald saw this and climbed down without too much worry. He picks up the book and tried to relocated where it fell, using what appears to be some paper list for the book shelf he's located. The Chickens here couldn't exactly use technology as their own claw feet would scratch and destroy the devices even if offered. So, for the moment they are using paper and pencil, actually it's more like ink feathers that came from them. No doubt since this was used doing the medieval ages, it was their only method of having any writing or work done in order. When Donald tried to place the book in once more, another loud noise interrupted everyone. They look to see another book fell, this time catching their attention as they realize the books are coming down on their own.

In confusion and grumbling, Donald lowered himself down as he started the same process again. Yet as he did this, another book fell the third time. Making Donald growl and grumble at what happen. When he came down once more, he got himself some duct tape he cartoonishly pulled out. Quickly rushing up, he tried it again. This time it stayed in place, satisfied, Donald went back down to work on the finishing books, only for one to drop on top from the same place as the duct tape did nothing to stop it with another book falling beside him.

Angered by this in silents, Donald quack and shouted in rage as everyone tried to shush him for making noise in the library. But that did nothing as Donald rushed up, and tired it again this time with glue. Yet the same results as this time two books fell down as they are shown with glue stuck on them not working, and two more fell down. Fed up with this Donald repeated the process as he rushed up and down in speeds that shouldn't be possible, but the books have words to say as they fell on top of Donald. Seeing as all the books are falling, in cartoonish speed Donald caught all the books but is smashed underneath as the books buried him with knowledge, history, fiction and other sorts from Library.

Tired of it, Donald stacks all the books in one big pile and started to sort them out in speed impossible for anyone to keep up. Everyone has been watching all of this unfolded as Donald soon stack all the books neatly together and this time stayed up. Proud of himself and happy he won, turning around and in three steps all the books except for his books fell off the shelves. Donald quick in fury as he couldn't believe what is happening, while the chicken crow cheering at the performance. Over all this will be a long few day to come.

Bug's Job - Worm Pit

Back with Bugs, he saw that his work wasn't going to be easy. So, a new tactic is in order.

"Alright, looks like I will have to use some of my old tricks in the day to get this done." Bugs decided that this time he would apply some of his cartoon shenanigans to make this work. He would start by doing a fourth wall break, directing the writer to type some backstage Hollywood set he would come out of his story to use some construction props. that are tools outside the Fanfiction story of Traveler's Journey. Doing this he searches through some of the tools and found at least couple of items that could help. First, he would get himself a shovel as he would dig underground for the worms. Second, he would get himself a jackhammer for quicker results and AMCE upgrades to work on dirt. Third item is a drill he would dig underneath as he knew this will require heavy duty stuff. But the final item in question is some vacuum cleaner he would use combine with some leaf blower for whatever may happen.

Walking back into the fictional story, Bugs then walk towards the worm pit and started to spit on his hands to start shoveling the dirt. As he did this, he manages to find more worms than before. This time with the shovel he manages to find at least enough worms that rounds about at least double the amount then what he found last time. Harold thanks Bugs for doing this and proceeds to deliver the goods to some of the young that needs them. Yet when they heard Bugs is digging up the worms, many of them came in herds that outnumbers hundred to thousands, "YIPE!" Is all Bugs could say as his thousands of worms he gathered in 30 minutes is devoured in seconds by packs of young chickens.

After recovering from that, Bugs came down to complain about what happen.

"Oh sorry Mr. Bunny. I guess the young chickens couldn't resist the amount of food you were gathering." Harold said.

"Ok Doc, I need to know exactly where did these little guys come from? That seems to be more then 500 chickens you had in here?" Bugs asked almost demanded some answers.

"Oh, sorry about that. I guess I only counted the number of chickens in the library. If we are saying about here and the chicken coop. Uh, you would have at least 7,000 living in this car. Which means that would come to 350,000-2,100,000 worms needed, I guess." Harold answered again, and once again Bugs eyes widen as he shouted, "THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND TO TWO MILLION, ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND WORMS!" Again, scaring everyone close by as they are more ready this time shushing Bugs for the loud noises, but once more he went, "OH, I'M DYING AGAIN!" And is bonk on the head the second time.

"Shhhhh, you have to keep quiet Mr. Bunny. This is a library after all." Harold said to Bugs, seeing him unconscious with worms dancing with stars around his head.

Popeye's Job - Reading stories

When Popeye is assigned to his task, his job required him to work with children that are station in a small section of the car. Surprisingly enough it's located near the chicken coops. From his location he could see all the chickens located in one location.

"Wow! That's a lot of chickens." Popeye said whistling at the large numbers around him.

"Well sometimes the hens tend to lay eggs that are almost too many to count." One of the Roosters said named Bob, who is both brown feathers around the neck with long comb on his head. From his appearance he's more like a weight lifter, mostly lean but his stance appears more built as the stronger roosters.

"Hold on, don't most eggs usually aren't fertile after the hen lays eggs?" While Popeye may not be bright, he at least knows some stuff. Bob looks away awkward as if he's trying to hide his blush even when unseen by everyone.

"Rather not say... but your job is to tell some stories for them. The hens would like some of the roosters to come and be with the children, but most of the time we are busy as you can see." If this was more cartoonish, you would see the roosters pretending to be working or busy just to ignore their fatherly duties.

"Uh huh." Popeye knowingly replied as he narrowed his one eye at Bob and other roosters in sight.

"So anyway, I leave them in your care. If you need questions the hens will inform you what can be done." Bob left like how they would run off knowing something bad is going to happen. When Popeye was about to enter, waves of yellow chickens started to run towards Popeye. Surprise by this, Popeye tried to run for his life, but is caught by the sea waves of yellow chickens tossing and turning him over as he could stop the wave after wave of young chickens moving him around. Like a sea current he is drowning in yellow feathers stuck to his mouth, he spits them out like you would in the waters. Then he is tossed up and down as the chickens are having fun playing around.

"Alright everyone, it's story time." When this is heard, Popeye is then thrown around as he's drag towards one location. Unable to stop or control himself, he is suddenly drag towards many books where one hen is waiting for his arrival.

"Good evening, sir. My name is Ms. hector, as our newest volunteer you get to enjoy this moment of helping our young to grow and learn in this wonderful library." Everyone cheered as they are ready for story time, but Popeye drummed his fingers as he laid on the side knowing this will be a long day.

Bug's Job - Worm Pit

Knowing now what needed down. Bugs decided to get serious and used all the items he has gathered from the last story section above.

"Two Million." Bugs muttered more than once. Using the Jackhammer first, plus some AMCE product to help upgrade it to work in dirt, this time having small spike underneath the jackhammer end, that would dig into the dirt easily. The Jackhammer is than called "DIRT GRINDER" able to dig into the dirt more easily than most tools digging through the day.

"If that guy says one more thing, one more thing about how many worms is needed." Bugs began to act crazy as he couldn't help mutter to himself about the situation. He would then start digging away as he had to be careful of the worms he did grind and some he found using the tools needed. But this time he places the live worms into some bucket that only he can grab without anyone stealing them away. Through the Jackhammer Bugs only manage to find himself 5 thousand worms, but not enough to satisfy the hunger chickens no doubt starving to death.

Then he brought out the drill, digging multiple holes just to find more worms as he is more successful this time of finding at least 80 thousand worms. Continuing to do this over again, he soon gathered enough worms that amount to at least 300 thousand worms. Yet this wasn't enough, planning to use his upgraded vacuum combine with the leaf blower using AMCE tools. He found himself building the newest AMCE product called "WORM SUCKER" using the combine power of two different products, Bugs is able to take in more worms and started to gather more and more than beforehand. With these many worms, Bugs has no accumulated at least 9 million worms as his total amount.

"THERE, that should do it!" Bugs exclaimed. He then walks towards Harold and gave the worms he has gathered into one pile.

"Oh, now that is impressive Mr. Bunny. How did you manage to gather this many in one day?" Harold asked curious about Bug's trick to gathering this many worms.

"Eh, it would only work for me Doc." Bugs look at the audience and winked turning back to face Harold as he waited for the good news.

"Well, I would say your almost half way there. But I afraid you only feed our food supply for this week." Harold stated, causing Bug's ears to drop and his eyes widen in surprise.

"Say what?" Bugs asked to clarify.

"Well, you see Mr. Bunny. After seeing this many worms in one day, I afraid they will be our extra food supply for this week. So, if you want to pay your late fee and help around this place, you will have to start digging for more worms of at least three months' worth of food. That many days times amount that is needed to feed everyone, I say that's the most you will have to find." Of course, he just made it worse as Bugs freaks out, "THREE MONTHS WORTH OF FOOD!" And then everyone shushes Bug's loud tone knowing this time he's the one as he continued, "OH YOU'RE KILLING ME THRICE!" But this time Bugs catches the mallet as he shouted, "HA!" But then many of them appear behind Bug's back smacking his back head as he fell forward with many lumps as they have rings of worms and stars dancing around and chicken singing on top of his lumps.

Mr. G&W and Jerry's Job - book register

As the others are dealing with their own sets of problems, Mr. G&W and Jerry are working closely with Ms. Doubtfire. Yet what makes this nice is that the job has you sorting out certain books and file them so that they are sorted out. This also is where the process of knowing where the books are added towards the late fee and payment needed. To say the numbers just keep increasing didn't help anyone. It anything this annoyed the two knowing that these are all the books added to the passenger's late fee, meaning they will have to work double shift just to make things work.

"I thank you for staying to help. I would also like to thank you for being responsible as you pay your late fee. It's not often we get passengers who actually stayed to help. So, for you to stay and take that responsibility is nice." Ms. Doubtfire said expressing her thanks to them. Out of all the jobs the others are doing Mr. G&W and Jerry the Mouse have the easiest of jobs. No dramas, no mischief, no struggles to overcome, but even if there were none sometimes it builds character for each of them.

"I must admit, you two are the most silent bunch I have work before." She said, Jerry and Mr. G&W responded with sign language, Jerry saying, "We usually don't have to say match when everyone is talking, plus for guys like me it's easier to get around." He spoke using his hand signs.

"Hmm, I can see that. What about you Mr. Game and Watch? That's awfully a mouth full, should I give a nick name?" Ms. Doubtfire asked, Mr. G&W then used paper and pen and wrote big letters as his initials G&W for her to name him.

"Oh, okay Mr. G&W." She then continued to talk while they listen as they help Ms. Doubtfire to sort out the books brought in.

Bug's Job - Worm Pit

"Alright, no more Mr. nice rabbit." Bugs grumbled to himself, he then used what remains of the AMCE tools he has for himself and combine every item into one giant machine to make as it's called "WORMER 8000" allowing it to dig in multiple ways and sucking up the worms at the same time. As such, Bugs ended up doing much damage as he would in Looney Tunes as the damage made a mess of things, about every book that is near the worm pit is covered in dirt and grim that many roosters and hens have to leave before they are covered in the dust storm.

When it was all said and done in that short period, Bugs had managed to supply more than enough food and pay for the late fee, total amount of 50 billion worms if you can believe it. That being said...

"Say Mr. Bunny, I do thank you for gathering the worms, but you caused a mess in turn." Harold pointed out towards the section they are in. As Bugs couldn't help but fell back and feel exhausted after everything that has happen.

-0-0-0-

End of the day - private quarters

Truth be told, while they are finished and have paid the late fee. They didn't feel right about some of this mess, then again that could be the exhaustion kicking in. But for now, they are just tired and wanted to rest for the moment. The room they are located is small section for quiet reading time. But for this case it has a private wall temporarily built to keep things private. When they leave it will be brought down when things are back to normal. For now, they will be up for their rest as all the roosters and hens that are up now are late night shift. Apparently, they can actually tell time even without clocks being located which is interesting in of itself.

sigh "I feel tired from today." Donald said, having to sort out all the books after that mess didn't do him service.

"Why don't you try reading bed time stories to young chickens in that coop place. You wouldn't last one day back there." Popeye said unable to move a muscle for now, and just wanted to lay down and sleep.

"At least you guys didn't have to try digging up all the dirt for worms. Had to use cartoon powers to even grab 50 billion worms. Then again I'm glad they can eat properly now with healthy diet of worms in their stomachs." This caused odd looks from everyone stared at Bugs.

"I was having a rough time okay." Bugs clarified.

"Still, even though we just did some stuff. I honestly feel good about it. Reminds me the times in show biz when we did stuff that were for slapstick humor." Popeye said.

"Yeah, it was nice for once. No heartless, no bad guys to beat, just us solving problems with what we got and taking on life complicated situations." Bugs said laying down on the ground where he places his sleeping mattress for the night.

"You know, I still don't feel good about solving other people's problems. If all those late fees are from 'passengers' as they call them. Then what are we supposed to do when more passengers come in and make a mess of things again? I know we are doing others a favor by doing this now, but I can't help we're only making small solutions to long time problems." Donald said, feeling this has been waste of time.

Jerry then jumps on Donald's Bill and used it to jump off like from a swimming pool, but landed on a chair closes to Donald. When they heard Donald grunt from Jerry's actions, they look over to see what is happening, they saw Jerry giving sign language saying, "Your right Donald about short term solutions to long term problems. But you are missing the point of always working on small term problems to growth and development of people. Sure, we may not have the long-term solution, but what matters isn't solving problems instead its lasting impacts on other people's lives. If we can't do that, there is no point on solving the problem even if it's the solution to said problem."

When Jerry finished, Donald found assurance in knowing this fact. While sure it didn't give full assurance, but enough to at least know there are ways to solve problems.

"You know what, your right. Maybe it wasn't a long-term solution, but that doesn't mean it can't be worked on." Donald said feeling happy after everything he's been through.

"So, then you guys wouldn't mind staying for a bit?" Bugs asked them. They turned to Bugs wondering what he meant as he then explained, "Well since we are talking about helping others, maybe we should try and do that now. I mean yes, we don't have the time but since when that has ever stop us? And I could bet you that everyone who had a chance to help didn't stay because they couldn't find it the time for everyone they see and meet. Maybe we should help instead of thinking of our problems. It at least feels worth the effort instead of trying to solve things through fighting." As Bugs said this, Donald couldn't help feel that hits him where it hurts. Sure, he has talk about helping their friends and losing his temper doesn't help. But then again maybe he hasn't been doing what he says himself, this made Donald rethink of his stance and viewpoints. Suddenly his hand glowed and his numbered decreased from 1,018 to 902. Everyone saw this and still have many questions to these numbers and why they have appeared.

"You know we should try and figure out about this train; those numbers are beginning to bug me as of late." Popeye said worried about it.

"Hmm, your right about those numbers. Not to mention when talking of passengers, it's like those numbers are like train tickets and it goes up and down. Why is what's bugging me." Bugs said, everyone nodding their heads in agreement. For now, they will have to wait and see where this goes and work their way through the train.

5 Days later

After everything that has happen, you could say the library has improved somewhat. Yes, it still needs work thanks to small changes, but it was over all helpful from Bugs and Company's hand. From one side everyone from roosters to hen of the chicken community have come waving them goodbyes and another side is Bugs and Company lead towards the door by Ms. Doubtfire. The exit happens to be hidden from sight as you couldn't really find it unless you had proper guidance. No doubt passengers that came had this problem and tried to force their way out.

"Thank you all for your help. On behalf of the library chicken community, we thank you for helping us and for taking responsibilities for those that have come around. It has been sometime since we receive this much kindness from passengers." Ms. Doubtfire said, standing by the train car exit.

"It's no problem Ms. Doubtfire. But if you wanted those passengers to take responsibilities you should try and make them stay here." Bugs advised, everyone behind him agreeing as they have had experience with this before.

"As much as we would agree, this community has made a vow long time ago to not partake in, pardon my language, chicken fights. You can see around you these are books from different cars and information we have collected overtime. While some are friendly with strange culture, some are abandoned or filled with dangers none should have entered. As such any fighting here would result in damaging any books of importance. For that we will not take any fighting even if we are forced into it." Ms. Doubtfire spoke in seriousness and respect for the books gathered together. They understood this and respected their wishes, with some waves of goodbyes they soon exit out of the car and towards their new destination.

Peter and Company

in

Toddler Trouble!

Sandbox Car

When entering into one of the cars, you sometimes wonder if you been transported to another world or something. Cause at this point that's what happen even without the key's power. The world seems so random and out of place that it almost feels like the Infinity Train somehow contain world size planets into train cars. The Car they have entered is filled with miles upon miles of sand, some would even mention why there are walls around them. Gandalf can guess it's some box like walls that keeping them here.

"I must say, of all the places I have traveled this is very unusual." Gandalf said looking around in this strange world. Others like Star and Peter agree with the wizard as they couldn't help feel the world isn't the same anymore. Those like Mario, Luigi and Flames seem to have except this concept of weirdness. When talking about how reality is operated, sometimes it's best to never assume or act like you know reality. For many times your raised with beliefs and foundations that even your own teachers and parents' beliefs and foundations passed on to you are always wrong because theirs didn't hold up. While some have inherited some good traits that stands its ground against forces beyond our understanding, most are meant to be breakable because of repeated history.

"Tell me about it, this sand could reach all the way without an end. If anything, these cars feel weirder then the worlds we travel." Peter stated as he's finding this train to be both interesting yet weird at the same time.

"Honestly the idea of traveling to different worlds seems out of place from where we used to live." Star express himself, feeling worlds like these shouldn't be possible, yet when you're with people you knew have experience this sort of adventures you couldn't help, but feel excited. For Star it's almost something he would have dreamed about if how they ended here wasn't the primary factor into this adventure.

While making his way alongside his comrades through the desert, Gandalf pondered some more about the cars and this train. The purpose of the numbers on their hands and why they are here. So far, the keys they have gathered are no doubt connected to the worlds they have traveled. But another thing in mind is about those two Sith they had encountered. No doubt when mentioning of this dark side, they will eventually encounter them more on other worlds. Gandalf pulled the key out to examine it as everyone else talk. Reminded that the key no doubt is connected to the worlds they are venturing. Aslan had told him that if gathered they can combine the keys as they are fragments of one key. How this happens Aslan explained in depth of events that lead to this point. But is strictly told to keep this to himself as no doubt everyone in the group isn't ready to hear this truth or what is to happen.

There are times that given the full truth, most likely everyone would either reject or deny it. This is because of our nature to reject things that don't fit with our version of the truth. Gandalf has seen this first hand and knows that having certain truth or the full truth. People can become your enemies or reject you in some ways. This sadden Gandalf inside remembering certain times on Middle-Earth how the people turned against one another because of how truths are used for evil. No doubt the forces of darkness are getting craftier and more scheming as the day's past is long forgotten along with certain life style that would have benefit people.

"I must admit, our adventures as of late has me confused. Maybe it's because I'm new to this sort of travels, yet deep down I know this was something everyone isn't prepared for or will want to face. For now, we can handle many things that comes our way, but this feeling... that whatever we face next, might actually break us apart. There have been times those of strong will don't always prevail as one may believe. I know for certain, these keys that Aslan has us collected, may have us face our greatest trials." As Gandalf thought of this, the others seemed content with themselves even if they are on endless desert. Star seems to fit in nicely so long as he's with Flame, Mario and Luigi seems okay as they are experts on this field even if this is the first time.

About 10 minutes of walking, they made their way through the desert, they came across some weird objects falling from the sky. When the object in question landed on the sand, it didn't cause some quake they still had to take caution towards what happen. For all they know this was some trick or something finally happen as they are here in this desert.

"W-What was that about?" Luigi asked scared of what happen.

"Don't know, but it looks interesting." Suddenly Flame started to run towards it with excitement, as the others realize just now, he ran off without caution.

"Hey wait! you don't what's out here!" Peter shouted in vain.

"Don't worry I'll get him; I know how he acts at times." Star said also rushing forward to catch his friend. The others shortly followed as Gandalf is last after having his mind focus on what's in hand. Once they are close enough, everyone prepared themselves in case something happens. But after relooking it this object it was something like you would see at some sand box or beach when making sand castles.

"What is this?" Flame said awing at the sight.

"It's some... sand castle toy?" Mario said unsure what he's looking at as well.

"Hmm, would have expected some meteorite or something?" Luigi also thought before they came close towards the objects.

"Why do I get the sense this isn't something we should stand around looking at it." Peter said having some suspicions as he glances around him. Yet among the group Gandalf is the only one looking up from behind, and his shock expression turned into horror as he sees what appears to be some giant crab looking down at them.

"I think I know how that thing fell here." Gandalf said, the others turned to see what Gandalf means. They turn to face Gandalf and look up in shock as some giant crab holding some toys playing in the sand are now being placed in from wide view above is actually a sand box.

"RUN!" Peter yelled, as they started to run for their lives as the crab soon spotted them. With little effort place some sand castle toys surrounding them, keeping them in place as the crab would then using some sand to stack on top of them. But Peter and Company weren't going to stand around for that. Everyone use their strength to move out even Peter is starting to join in the fights despite his size and age wise appearance. But even with their efforts of escape, they soon realize too late that the Crab would have grab them easily if Gandalf didn't used his light magic to blind the crab. They soon started to running once more, but not without falling into some sinkhole that happen out of nowhere. When the crab regains his view, it saw they escape. While the hole is still there, the crab didn't bother to dig as it seems more interest in its own activities. Not bothered by this it went off and started to work on stuff away from the sand box.

Under the sand

"Ugh, this just gets better and better." Peter comments. Everyone at this point had gotten up, but not without trying to stretch as the surprise sinkhole had them feeling sore from the fall. Not to the point of human pain, but more so just from the surprise fall. Which is good for someone like Peter since he is half human, this much damage to his body would have killed or left him unconscious from the fall. Being half human with half another species had some perks he would think.

"Mama Mia, this is just ridiculous. Then again this feels like home sometimes." Mario comment. This made Peter give a deadpan stare at them.

"The day we visit your home is the day I might as well have underwear as my hat." Peter blankly stated.

"It's not that bad, just crazy from time to time." Luigi said in defense of his home.

"Well, it better not have all this sand, it's getting stuck to my fur." Star said trying to remove as much sand as possible, Flame assisted as he knew some beings that never like stuff stuck on their bodies. As they got up, they started to take in their surroundings as Gandalf now can see that somehow there are tunnels under the sand.

"This is interesting, almost like there are somebody still here?" Gandalf said, but soon they heard some rumbling. Before they could properly respond, what surprise them is ants have appeared. Mostly humanoid with claw like mouths, yet stood in either 4 legs or 2 legs as all their limbs have hands. They also carried what appears to be spears that appears like carved rocks, with some paint color on their shoulders. What stood apart from these ants is their body shape assuming they are types of different ant species. Range from Red/brown color to black and even the color of the sand.

"YOU, how dare you enter our colony!"

"We shall destroy you like those before!"

"Negative! The great beast came just recently, we cannot have a fight here or make sudden movements!"

"But commander? They had entered are Colony! We must destroy them!"

"No, we cannot for another reason. They are passengers."

"He's right, their hands have numbers. Which means they have not come here by choice."

"Even so we cannot allow them to just walk in our colony unexpectedly!"

This went on and on as many of these ants started to argue what they should do or not. Even more they mention about them being passengers and numbers, at least gives them some idea what they are dealing with now. Yet the problem before them has them stuck between a rock and hard place. Even worse even if they escape it be like out of the frying pan and into the fire. No matter the situation, they couldn't risk it. Suddenly more rumbling came, this seemed to make the ants fearful as they look around in terror.

"The great beast returns!"

"It's them, they must have led the beast here!"

"But we can't do anything against the great beast!"

"ENOUGH! We will take them in for questioning and stay hidden!"

One of them appearing like some commander ordered the ants. Not wanting to start another fight, they quietly allow them to restrain them as they are moved away while being carried underneath. For smaller beings like Peter, Mario and Luigi, they are carried under one ant standing on two legs now. Quickly taking them towards deeper place inside the ant colony. One thing is certain, they now are in heated waters as this will no doubt complicate the situation as before.

Down into the Colony

When they arrived, the place astonishes them. So much of this colony is well organized and filled with no doubt many tunnels and pathways. What even makes things interesting is that they appear to be different types of ants. All of them having important duties that seemed by some glance or look around the surroundings are digging pathways as some workers appear like miners, gathering foods as they seem to drag some bits and pieces that is actually fish, they see what remains of the fish's head as they sorted the pieces for everyone to have together. Some are like daycare for the young and hurt as they try to keep their patients alive, but when they die... that's better off unsaid if you could help it. And finally, the grand majority or at least half of them are soldiers in the colony. Some are flyers for certain purpose, most are soldiers that carry only spears, shields, swords, and even some weird gun like weapon that is unknown to them. The only armor they have is helmets as no doubt their biology is what makes them tough.

When they arrive, they are taken towards what appears to be a dungeon of sorts. What they saw is different sorts of creatures and beings trap in prison. But what truly surprise them is the one cell holding what appears to be five humans of different ages. Alongside them are different creatures that are with the humans. When given a good like there are at least two adults both male and female, and 3 teenagers.

The man appears to be in some jungle explorer as he has the clothes for heat weather and stereotype jungle adventurer. Beside him the woman has some business suit of sorts, colored in gray that would mistake her as a man if not for her figure, small chest and short hair that doesn't shy away her beauty. As for the teenagers appear like high schoolers. One boy appears Asian wearing causal clothes, mostly green shorts and some blue shirt saying "Party all night" as he appears like the chill out type of guy. The girl appears to wear brown Alaska Hat alongside her button shirt in red color with green stripes that can be seen as square, and wore what appears to be tan pants alongside black boots. And finally, the teenage boy appears different from the rest. He had what appears to be private school uniform, but what sets him apart when notice is his lips covered in purple with his eyelids painted in bright aqua blue, and more so he had painted his nails in red matching his uniform. If look hard enough they could see glowing hands with random numbers high or low for each of them.

Once they are taken here, the ants toss them inside as they are locked with their fellow passengers no doubt.

"You lot will be dealt with by the Council of Queens. For now, thanks to your meddling the great beast will no doubt try to find you at some point, but before that your fates will be decided by the Council of Queens, may your death be painful feed by the Colony's wrath." With that they left as the guards saluted and keep watch of the prisoners. When they got sorted with their new surroundings.

"Mama Mia, we just don't have the best luck." Mario said.

"That's true, honestly these adventures seem ridiculous at times." Mario, Luigi, Star and Flame agree fully with Peter's comment. Not liking this randomness that seems to happen more often than it should have now.

Peter and Company got another look at the people, but also their companions as well. For the Explore guy he seems to be partnered with a unique Tiger in blue and black stripes, having some white fur from the underbelly and paws along with violet color eyes, what's interesting is the tiger has three tails along with some another pair of limbs as its walking on all six legs. The way it's looking at them is more so for protection of his/her partner, most animals you couldn't tell if male or female because it takes great understanding of animal traits. For the business women, seems to have some living calculator that walks on weird spider stick legs. The face only has two eyes while the rest is that of some advance calculator.

For the teenagers, the chill guy is a Sloth wearing what appears to be some crimson blouse that only covers the top half in rose color, this could be assume it's a female if look close enough. Some Possum hanging on his shoulder that seems scared or more so ready to play dead, yet stay close as its untrusting nature is apparent. And finally hanging on the back is a Koala that seems contempt with its position. The only teenage girl seems to have a living doll and teddy bear for some reason. The Doll is like those old stuff dolls that has hand drawn face and sewed clothes on it, the teddy bear is like the classic as before with brown fur and black eyes. They seem to be in her arms as she made sure they are safe and secured. Then the final teenager has what appears to be a small spider the size of an adult palm, yet can stand on two legs as you look closely appear as hands on each leg, except this spider has ten legs as it's magenta color with rouge color body.

"I suppose you guys got caught too as well." The Explorer said trying to appear friendly to their newest roommates.

"Yes, we did, although not by choice since we have no idea if a door exist upside somewhere." Gandalf explained, as everyone here understood what he meant by that.

"That's understandable, we have been to several cars by now. And we haven't found the exit yet, although with our current position that may not be possible since we're all trap here together." He said as the rest silently agreed or not notice at all. Getting a better look at the explorer he wearing the usual explorer gear that is necessary for jungle expedition. He has brown hair mostly short and covered by his hat and green eyes alongside his short beard that is covering his mouth and can still see the lips The explorer also has what appears to be small cuts on his left hand alongside his chin. Where he gets this scar is unknown as they are heading into deep territory without proper information. They are unsure of his age, but they could guess maybe about late 30s or early 40s.

"Wait, you're all stuck here together?" Peter asked in surprise.

"To be more precise we have been stuck here for at least 4 months, Robert Kenworth and Dan are the only one I can't say for how long." The Business woman said, pointing towards the explorer who is traveling with companion dan the tiger. Surprisingly enough from a distance they almost mistake her for a guy wearing a dress, but when looking closer you can see she is more beautiful up close, yet one glance and tell you she's would place business before pleasure even for her own standards.

"Really Miss President? If you're going to run some company you should be smarter than this, as no doubt they have been here at least 3 weeks which with the newest arrival equals nearly 5 months." Says the Calculator, who appears to be the know-it-all type. Looking at the calculator, you can't tell where his voice is coming from, but you know he's speaking in some high attitude of himself. The Calculator seems to have

"I'm not president yet, at least until I get out of here." She argued who is not amused by her companion's know-it-all attitude, she turned to face the newcomers that would be staying over, "The name is Franks Don Masu, don't asked about my name it's just something about family history and what not. And this here is EX-8479, yes, he's a living calculator so don't over sell it." Franks introduce themselves to the new group.

"I can only assume this is somehow common for you guys?" Flames asked.

"Common? You call us being in this raggedy old train that goes on and on for who knows how long common? This isn't common nor should any of us be here. I should be back in my house getting ready to meet some guys, not this nonsense." school teen said, annoyed by all of this.

Ahem "I do believe we're getting off track for a moment. Perhaps we should introduce ourselves so we at least know everyone's names." Mario said gaining everyone attention as most of the passengers stared at Mario in shock. At least the teenagers while the adults simply agreed.

"Right where are our manners. Names Robert Kenworth, jungle explorer and archologist for past secrets. This here is my companion Dan, yes, he's a blue tiger but don't let his appearance fool you, he's actually nice. You also met Franks over there and her companion EX's, I would say his whole name but that's too much. And those three are Aki Chen with his three companions Kelly the Sloth, Heckle the Possum and Louise the Kola. Beside him is Mia Bouchard, along with her two companions Dolly and Mr. Fuzzy. And you met our loud one Freddy Handson along with his spider friend Sparkles." Robert introduced them; from his way of conversation, you could say he's the nicer one among the group.

"Excuse me, but the name is Hannah Mariah, and I appreciate it you call me by that name." Freddy corrected Rebert as he apparently changed his name for his own reasons. The others look over and curiously wonder why he would deny his own name?

"Anyway, we been caught just like you guys. Of course, normally we wouldn't be in the same group. For the most part all of us were just traveling with our companions on our own?" Robert Explained, having been here longer than most.

"Indeed, most likely even if you escape those ants outside would have torn through you easily." Gandalf said.

"So, it's nice to meet you guys for first time." Rebert said.

"That goes the same for me and my companions. For my name is-"

"Gandalf the Gray from Lord of the Rings, although I have no idea who you guys are exactly?" Said Aki who look at the rest of them trying to piece it together.

"How did you know about Gandalf?" Peter asked.

"Well, he's in a fantasy novel, that's how anyone would know him." Aki answered, this seems to confuse Gandalf for a moment until he remembered what Bugs and Mickey had said before.

"I think this is what you would call 'Going Meta' is what they would say?" Gandalf said trying to think about what Bugs and Mickey had explained.

"Maybe we should share some notes about ourselves." Robert suggested, finding it ideal since this will take some time and no one is going anywhere anytime soon.

Ant Colony - Ant Queens chambers

In another section of the Ant Colony, there lived for some time a cat. What type of cat is unknown, but what should be considered is this cat somehow manage to get herself position in the Ant Colony without being captured like the others? Yet here she is alive and standing tall as the royal guard, although it be more so her way of surviving this car until she could escape. For lately that hasn't been possible, until at least she can find another way. Currently she somehow got stuck in politics as the queens are discussing what they should do with the intruders. Mostly for not only bringing the beast near towards the colony, but also what they should do with them exactly. Some of the queens would have killed them right out as they done to many intruders. But at the same time others disagree and want to give them a chance. This was more recent change since the laws and governments seem to change depending on the Queen. Like now there are united queens of 11 colonies, this makes many ants not the same as the others. For now, The Cat as she calls herself will have to bide her time as this was not time to leave with new intruders being here.

"Ma'am." Someone said, turning to see one of the high-ranking ants as the Royal Commanders in the Colony. These Commanders are what keep the safety and security of the colony safe from outside threats that exist in the sandbox. Each Commander is given roles that protect the colony, the first are the ants soldiers that swarm others outside the sandbox and other sorts that come towards the car above or below. While the sea fairing commanders take on food recourses from the seas as they have dug enough tunnels to reach the bottom, at least near bottom as they are unsure how low this sandbox is for the time being. For now, food recourses are necessary as they have to find more food for hungry growing colony.

"What can I do for you gentle-ants?" The Cat asked, keeping things professional until she can escape this car. Which is harder than you think, the three ants standing in front of the gates are fire ants. Aggressive and dangerous, yet they aren't the worse ants you can encounter as 11 colonies of ants can have even worse as the last ones. They are wearing uniforms that cover the top half, they are in blue, green and tangerine color. The last one is more orange because of their skin color red, like most of the ants they have claw like mouths, both two of the commanders are standing on all fours while the leading commander in green is standing on his two legs. How you stand on your six limbs actually determines your strength. Since they appear humanoid, they have mostly stand on four legs, mostly as hand like limbs for climbing and other reasons. But when you stand on two legs, you considered a stronger ant among the colony. While not all have the same rank, they variety in their roles and job purpose.

"We would like to speak with the Queens if they are available." The Leading ant said, requesting permission from The Cat to speak with their leaders.

"Sorry commander, they strictly told me keep guard of this gate. They are to not be interrupted at any moment or time, so you may have to wait for a moment." The Cat told them.

"I see, but it's important we deliver this message to our royal highness. This is about the recent attacks of the shadow monsters that have appeared." Mentioning of the shadow monsters has been common as of late. Many of the ants have bravely defended their colony from intruders, yet no matter how much they fight the ants are overwhelmed and taken by swarms of shadow monsters (Heartless) as they may be weak even as small groups. When larger forces came around, they consume many ants that died defending this colony. The Cat understand even when trying to escape that these shadow monsters have been a real problem as of late. She nods her head understanding why they need access to the chambers.

"I will deliver the message to the queens when they are done discussing. But if I may hear the message and tell them personally." She asked, hoping this would satisfy them at least for now.

"Unfortunately, that can't wait, reports are showing the shadow monsters are growing in numbers once more. This time they will assault the main Colony we have keep secure for long time. This will be third greatest assault as we not be able to survive the ongoing invasion." The Leading ant said expressing worry that this could be their last stand against forces they have no way to counter. Hearing this The Cat thought about what she could do to escape. Normally she would have found a way to escape by this point and have moved on with her business. Yet what makes this time around different is how she not only been stuck here for longest as her cat life can handle, but is forced to play along as she manages to land herself a good position to make her plans. But maybe she can take this opportunity to finally leave this car, but she may need the passengers to help.

"Alright, you may pass. I need to be somewhere after this meeting, so would you gentle-ants be so kind as to help guard these doors?" The Cat knew the answer as they nodded, while the leading Ant went in the Queen's chambers. The Cat walk towards the dungeons as she could use their help escape before this car is overrun.

Ant Dungeons

After may be 30 minutes of explanation, Peter and Company had explained some of what they been through while also keeping the world order intact. It was honestly hard to make up some stories because you couldn't really tell the truth without breaking the rules. Yet times like these it seems okay for now as they didn't seem that interest or care about where they came from or the location from the world they came from. This honestly is fresh relief for Peter as he doesn't have to lie about himself or his friend's origins. But what really caught them off guard is the theories they made about what they did and how Gandalf is real since in that world he's a fictional character. Gandalf silent anyone that tried to explain his possible story as he rather experiences them himself then being told what happens next. So, the story that's been told from the passenger's perspective is they fictional character that came to life and are trying to help their worlds defeat some great evil. In honestly if they said about the heartless, keyblades, other world exist that properly wouldn't have affected their lives that much.

As for the passengers and Companions. They explained about themselves, more so their interest, hobbies and their life living on the planet. From each story they are told it was clear that they are average people trying to live some life, yet how they get here is more mysterious as they kind of life the why and how. More so the teenagers as they left their story out why they came on this train; the adults seem content with themselves yet what is interesting is how they seem happy and yet for reasons unknown except for gut feeling they are here for another reason. Among the group Gandalf, Mario and Star had some idea that something or past reasons is what brought them into this train. Why that is are unknown, so for now its best they get along and try to figure a way out.

"So, you're like half human and something?" Aki asked Peter, along with Mia and Hannah taking an interest in Peter's condition with his two horns acting like his ears.

"More so, half organic and robotic if that any accurate." Peter explained the best he could, honestly, he doesn't know too much about his condition as well since not many would explain his hybrid state.

"Hmm, so you couldn't remove those horns? They don't look well with your current clothes." Hannah spoke as he examined his horns a bit closer, but the moment he touches his horns Peter freak out and tried to move away while covering his horns as they bend behind his head as if some dog that lowers their ears. What is odd is Peter's cheeks are redden when moving away.

"Hold on? Are you embarrassed when someone touches your horns? Actually, saying it like that is weird." Mia comments as she knew what it implied.

"It's more so connected to my brain; you could say it's like... touching some parts." Peter felt embarrassed talking about it since it implied topics that most wouldn't talk about, making it weirder since it's his biology of both human and gundarion.

"He's a special case." Mario answered, even if that didn't answer anything.

"What kind of case?" Luigi question bringing out what everyone is thinking about as well. Suddenly Peter is examined by Louise and Heckle, when both parties started to talk with each other, some that are reserved open up. Just enough to know that Peter and company hadn't mean any harm. But what is strange is some of the animal's trap with their passengers is sniffing Peter or at least examining him. It was extremely awkward for both sides as they had no idea what they are sniffing about. At this point every animal is sniffing Peter's body as he's confused and kind of freak out by their no personal space rule.

"Whoa, hold on. Give Peter some space, I know he smells weird, but he doesn't like it." Flame said, trying to ease this awkward moment.

"Sorry about that, but I can't help smell something very sweet on him." Heckle admits almost embarrassed as he couldn't control himself.

"It's true, for some reason your friend is giving off some sweet scent that many of us can't ignore." Dan spoke being intrigue as well.

"Does that mean he's got candy somewhere or something? Probably why you guys can smell something sweet on him?" Mia asked figuring that's the case as some animals can be attracted to sweet smell of food.

"Can we change the topic!" Peter exclaimed annoyed by this amount of attention for weird ways.

"Yes, about exactly this train is about? Surely some of you must have at least some ideas?" Gandalf asked, one that has everyone silence at the moment except for the companions.

"Truthfully they are here to learn." Dan answered, which didn't make much sense to anyone, "Let me explain, if you have noticed the numbers in your palms are supposed to represent your problems. Now I can't say how this is determined, I just know how some of us are supposed to help others when they board this train. I been with Robert for some time now and I know that having your numbers go down is one way ticket to leaving this train. How this happens is... different for everyone." With this explanation, Peter and Company had some idea what they need to do in order to leave, but among them Peter felt more nervous as his number is the highest among the group. Seeing his over 2 thousand shows something is going on and he will have to confront it some point.

"Hmm... that's not good." Mario said looking at his numbers along with Luigi as they could see that they may be here for some time if they don't confront their own problems. Others had the same thoughts with Gandalf probably the only one not too worried. However, before they could talk some more, ants started to show up in the dungeons. Gaining everyone's attention towards where some ants are running from something.

"Strange? What could make ants run from their post?" Robert muttered, but is still heard by the others.

"Obviously since they aren't ordinary ants, they must have confronted something that they can't handle." EX answered without much thought as he figured it out long already.

"Then if they are running from something? What could scare ants away?" Franks asked what everyone is thinking. Suddenly when the final ant appeared running past them, everyone spotted what is describe as shadowy monsters. They are actually heartless that seem to have new types for this car. The usual shadows, soldiers, appear along with air soldiers that seems to tag along. But there is a new type that appears to have two arm blades like praying mantis in dark azure color with silver blades on ends, both arms have three fingers like claws, but are very thin and can reach longer than its shoulder arms. It appears to be walking on four pointed legs, if anything the new heartless seems to be some mixer of spider, praying mantis, ant and flying insect as the back has 2 pairs of wings. It's called "Blue Blaze" which seems to be chasing the ants around. It has the heartless symbol on the chest and has yellow eyes as the head appears more like crab claw mouth and twitching like crazy, but still remains focus on its prey.

"What are those things?!" Shouted Hannah, as they are seeing heartless for the first time.

"Not good is what." Peter comment.

"Everyone stands away from the gates." Gandalf commanded them, they quickly stood back as Gandalf then cast as spell to blast the gates away. When this happens, the ant witnessing this stood in surprise while also keeping his guard up. Quickly Peter and company made quick work with these heartless as they quickly destroyed them with Flame and Mario rushing head first with fire abilities, Luigi and Peter backing them up from behind while Star and Gandalf held nothing back to destroy these monsters. When it was said and done, everyone stood in awe at these guys abilities.

"Wow, you guys are like superheroes or something." Aki said in awe at their strength and power.

"As much as we would like explain ourselves, we must destroy the heartless as quickly before they infect the colony." Gandalf said.

"Hold it!" The ant shouted, not wanting them to move a muscle after seeing their strength displayed, "We have enough problems, you will remain-"

"Silence! Your colony is in danger and we are the only hope of saving you and the rest of your friends and family. If you don't let us past you will doom everyone to deaths, allow us to assist you in defending this colony and we will receive any punishment you have for us." Gandalf spoke in commanding tone, this scared some of them that never have seen Gandalf this way before or even if heard about it, no explanation can compare to bear witness when Gandalf take things seriously. The ant in question remains silent still guarding himself around them. But seconds later lowered his guard and allow them to pass behind him.

"Quickly, we must fly and confront the heartless!" Gandalf ordered; half of the group started to run towards where the heartless came from.

"Hold on! You guys are just going to fight those monsters? Aren't you young to be fighting them?" Asked Hannah who's worried for Peter's safety.

"Even if that's the case, I have to try." Peter said running towards the others as the other half stayed behind, wondering what they should do next.

Ant Tunnels

When Peter and company came through. They saw many ants have gathered into small groups, and tried to fight back against the invading heartless. More types of heartless started to appear like Large Body's they have encountered over this trip.

"Seems like the only type we have to worry about is the new one for this car." Mario stated, Luigi standing behind ready for fight with his brother.

"I guess this will be normal for the trip?" Star asked his friend Flames as he already prepared himself.

"I guess, I just started being part of this group. And I can say it's lead me to you at least." Flames said smiling at his friend. Star smirk in response as he's glad to find him too, now if they could find the others that make things better for the both of them.

"Remember to keep together. And watch each other's back, be mindful of the other ants fighting." Gandalf commanded, while most of the time the group doesn't give each other orders, every now and then sometimes it requires them to be serious about the situation.

Warning!

Warning!

Invasion of the Colony!

Protect the residents!

Blue Blaze - Heartless Type Emblem

Threat Level: Brown - C

Strength: Average

Abilities: Unity

Offense: Average

Defense: High

Weakness: Everything

Description: As one that appears insect, it carries itself like some apex predator. Wanting to kill everything in sight, its appearance is that of four pointed legs on the bottom, two longer thin arms that could reach twice or thrice the length, and has two shoulder arms as praying mantis blades. It's color in dark azure with the heartless symbol at the chest like all other heartless types. The head twitches too much, yet still remain focus on its preys with crab like mouth to crush, pinch, or grab its prey. What makes this heartless different is the abilities of numbers and unity like many bugs that have colonies. While it could be fast and strong alone, its greatest strength is in numbers.

Expunge the intruders!

Ready?

FIGHT!

Everyone scattered into pairs, Star stick with Peter as the two rushed off towards the center of the colony, where most of the ants have gathered and tried to fight the invaders. Gandalf took on those that came towards them alongside Mario who stayed with Gandalf to give assistance. Luigi and Flame went off to make sure those they didn't see are safe and sound from many dangers the heartless presented.

When the others left Gandalf went off blasting the nearest heartless that came and started to use his sword and staff combo as he quickly dispatched every Heartless that came his way. The shadows were more or less easy as they didn't get one claw or chance to move quick enough, the soldiers and air soldiers are wipe away as soon as Gandalf had them in his sights. Normally average humans wouldn't be this quick or would have handled their blades right. However, for Gandalf he wasn't human and thus was stronger and skilled than average. The newest heartless Blue Blaze went against Gandalf as they started to march towards him in unity. When they are close enough, they used their long thin arms to try and take him down.

Mario did the same with his heartless as he wipes the floor with the shadows punching and kicking them away easily. When the soldiers came around, Mario grab two of them by their legs when trying to kick him, but he turned them into weapons to smack around the two air soldiers and then proceeded to use his smash move to blast all the heartless away. Turning to see Gandalf is blocking multiple attacks. He jumps over Gandalf and attack the middle heartless, causing small distraction enough for Gandalf to slice the two heads off. While Mario had proceeded to finished his own as when jumping on top the heartless head, he quickly punches and kick the heartless and he jump and stomp on the new heartless to dust.

Luigi and Flames had started to work through the hallways as both of them saved as many ants as they possibly could for the time being. Saving five ants surrounded by three Large Body's as Luigi snuck behind one and jump on the heartless head. Flames had taken out one of the large body's striking the back many times using his fist and claw attacks. The ants took advantage of this and attack the third heartless quickly killing it as Luigi had to run away when he couldn't hurt the heartless front side. Flame quickly made work with it as they face to see the five ants stare at them for a moment.

"We thank you for saving us. But when we are finished with these intruders, we will deal with you next." Said the suppose leading ant. Then they rushed off to save their brothers and sisters that are fighting hordes of monsters intruding their colony.

"Are we really sticking around after the fighting is over?" Flame asked Luigi uncertain if that is the right move.

"Mario would say, we need to take responsibilities for our own faults. Of course, he seems too perfect, but I still take this advice to heart." Luigi said, accepting this Flame went off as Luigi followed behind saving many ants as they could along the way.

As for Star and Peter, Star had made quick work and gave small commands to the other ants to help out. Truthfully Peter felt he wasn't needed as much since Star seems to handle the situation much easily than expected. Peter would help out and take on the soldiers, Shadows and sometimes Air Soldiers. The Large Body's that are around the center he couldn't really do much, even after this long adventuring with the others Peter wasn't too sure if he could help out. Instead, focus on helping and saving lives as his number one priority. Among the confusion he heard a cat meowing in some fear. Suddenly Peter saw a Cat in uniform almost being taken by the Shadow heartless, rushing over Peter kick the first heartless using his right leg, then grab one heartless using his left hand when he places his body firmly on the ground and swung the shadow until it died out, knocking the three shadows unconscious. Peter then picks up the Cat not noticing how uncomfortable she's under his arm, and ran off enough distance where many ants have reorganized themselves to fight back.

"Young man, that is not how you handle a lady or pet if you had any." Peter heard this and realize the cat is talking.

"OH! S-Sorry about that." He let her down as she stood back up facing Peter.

"That's quite alright kitten, but I like if you could protect me since we are in a crisis." She said to Peter.

"No prob., but I would need to help the others if we're going to fight off the heartless." Peter said pointing with his thumb at the battles raging.

"Heartless? That's what they are called? Are they from another car by chance?" She asked curious about what he knows. Suddenly a soldier tried to spin kick The Cat, but Peter jump over her and grab the heartless leg and toss it away towards another pack of soldier heartless, almost a strike in bowling.

"Maybe we should discuss this when the crisis is averted." Peter says wanting to focus on what is happening instead of answering millions of questions.

"Perhaps your right." She said, sticking to him closely while he ran off to help any ants or his team fighting the heartless.

5 hours later - Aftermath

Over the course of his adventures, Peter would have said he has good stamina. But this fight proved otherwise as his young body couldn't handle the duration of this battle from the heartless, protecting ants and now surrounded by ants aimed to kill them if The Cat hadn't stood in their path for defense. Now they are sitting at the front gates of the Queen's chamber where they are to meet these rulers of the sandbox. The fighting itself had at least been 2 hours long, a record time of long battles. Afterwards when the dust settled, everyone is resting and will be presented towards the queens.

"Well at least we manage to save the colony, I don't know about how many we saved." Peter said feeling they could have done more than what they did now.

"Do not worry yourself with those you lost, instead think of those you have saved and what can be done for the future." Gandalf gave his advice.

"Gandalf's right, sometimes there will be people you couldn't save, that just means you can improve yourself." Star agreed with Gandalf's advice.

"Still, what happens now?" Peter wondered much as everyone else that feels this wasn't going to be easy.

"I'm afraid that will not be our decision. For now, we wait and see what happens and hope for the best." Said Mario, everyone agreeing to this waited patiently as the doors would then open to seal their fate. Truthfully they can escape, but the meddling things about world order also implies to one strength and powers. As such to keep the order in tact you can't just use your powers and strength without being questioned by said world. With this in mind, despite what they done for the colony. It maybe sometime before they leave this car anytime soon.

Delta Force Command - Team 99

Once more they have been called in for another mission. This time it's returning to their original assignments when Dagger obtain those keys. Currently with the four or five of them walking towards an office, containing at least a new agent assign to them. From what is gathered new agents being assign to them is common since they are newly created team, they would need more progress or success rate in their missions if they are to somehow succeed. The agent in question is name Jenny, she been given the overall on this newly form team. But wants to know if they can handle the pressure of being a special force team, for the actions and deeds they will partake will break, force vomit and other twisted darkness that will force abyss in their lives.

The others that are with Jenny are Agents Max and Rose. Both are curious for their own reasons about this newly form team, from the higher ups there is rumors and talks about giving Dagger some special treatment, but from what they see that isn't the case for now. Higher ups in Delta Force are the worse of the worse as they have known about these operations and have no care, nor the heart to do anything that doesn't affect them.

The agents wear what is consist of suits. Most of the suits are consistent of single color like Red, Blue, Scarlet, Emerald, and other colors with some black gloves and shoes alongside sunglasses. Most times the suits are red with black mix together, the sunglasses are usually visor shape for certain purposes.

"Dagger, already has two fragments which should be impressive if he went on his own." Max comment reading the reports that are given to them. As agents they have to always know this stuff even if they didn't at that second.

"We should take in consideration of what his team will look like towards the future." Rose said looking through the papers, "Most of the teams are selected by their leaders, Dagger being the youngest by appearance at least seems more capable than he should be now. Some of them should be overlooking for more information into his life." Rose then drank what appears to be cholate milk in a glass cup, Max had his orange soda beside him as he sat at the desk in the office.

The office in general has one desk that only fits the person currently in use. There is some coffee machine and small fridge for different products, mostly they have drinks from milk, orange juice, sodas, and possibly energy drinks. The agents in the office are more laidback than most of the agents, but have to keep professional in front of others even if they don't in return. Max seems busy with eating his sub filled with some purple slime stuff, green bread that is mold, and raw meat from the freezer. Due to their body structure, they can eat anything for the most part including poison.

"Weren't you supposed to be assassinating world leaders on that earth?" Max asked knowing her assignment.

"It was halted at the last second, we had to relook the situation and find that those people aren't actual humans, but representation of their country manifest into human forms. The years take place in WWII as the axis powers, somehow the world has power to create human forms of their made countries." Rose explained to Max, making both look at Rose with understanding, as missions aren't always simple as one would want them.

"That's unfortunate, but curious how that's possible." Max said continuing to eat his sub.

"Every time we encounter an earth, there seems to be gimmicks or tricks that needs to be informed." Jenny said.

"Fortunate that no matter what world, so long as there is human like race even if some declare themselves as aliens, our blood agents will have the information needed to search the worlds. Which also means that any world that has blood agents is deeply rooted in human history. The idea of precursors, or some make believe myth and legend are almost laughable if they have any truth." Rose said finding the situation more interesting then new found discovery.

"With the blood agents around, they should have our intel in about 24 hours more or less. But for the time being, they need to reorganize the data since ending the leaders won't be an option. For now, I'm curious about this team that is recently develop." Rose said waiting for the team 99 to arrive.

"What I'm more curious is his performance, calling your group team 99 especially the number. Dagger better have good results, or he will disgrace his name and number of our organization." Jenny said. Then Team 99 appeared from behind, all members accounted for and ready to serve for the next mission.

"You have an assignment for us?" Dagger stood straight with his hands behind his back. The others stood as well or lean on the wall. Raven place herself on Dagger's shoulder, waiting for the agents to inform them as well.

"Yes, we do, you will be preforming retrieval missions for those keys. Right now, we do know those that have been collecting the keys are currently separated from each other, as such it will be an opportunity to attack now." Max explained to Dagger and his team.

"And you waited for this to now tell us?" Dagger asked more so questioning why he couldn't have just attack even in numbers.

"Don't overestimate your abilities, the Daleks you got lucky since they weren't ready for you. The second time is usually where caution is in order, but this group isn't one of those people you can attack instantly. That and your team isn't strong or experience to handle this difficulty. Which is why for this mission you will be have one agent to oversee your operations and any mishaps that could happen." Max explained telling them that Mickey, Bugs and Company aren't your regular people to mess around.

"Before we accept this mission, I like to know exactly what are we dealing with these keys? I may be ignorant but I like to be cautious on things we haven't face before, which is a lot for us." Burst said not liking they may be going blindfold, yet at the same time is new member to this team.

At the moment, they were silently debating if they should inform them or keep silent. The former seems to be better, as the higher ups want those keys as soon as possible, Jenny then stood next to Max as she stared at them to explain, "From what is gathered as of yet the Devil Keys/D-Keys are fragmented since the last time all were gathered, this resulted in many pieces embedded in the Angel Keys. That's already a problem as the Angel Keys/A-Keys can't be touch by anyone without permission from above. The history around these two sets of keys has been long forgotten in time, but some truths such as the D-Keys are creation long forgotten, yet once gathered have the power to bring victory towards the wicked and dark beings that hold them. What makes this a complication is the fact that they are now attach to the A-Keys. But since Dagger was able to hold onto one, it suggests that the A-Keys are somewhat corrupted as it allows him to hold onto them without resistance. We have a chance to find them and use their ancient powers to the fullest. But first you need to gather the fragments so we could have them once more. But as you already know, finding all of them will not be easy, since the A-Keys more than likely will reject you if trying to touch. Which is why your mission will be to steal them from those that have them in possession."

"So, to some degree these keys are some ancient powers that would be benefit us if we somehow gather them?" Burst figure that's what they meant.

"To a degree yes, but you would need to collect the Fragments if we're to obtain them once again." After she explained in detail, Burst asked once more wanting to understand few points.

"Quick question, why can't we use the keys we have and take the new ones on other world?" Burst asked, but is rebuke once they explained the reason.

"You will die the moment you touch them; without God's permission you can't go near them or move them by any means. Yet thanks to Dagger's efforts we did learn that once someone found the key; you can retrieve them. No doubt a invisible barrier is released because it senses the one chosen for the task. That and said before the Fragments have given us some advantage as they allow us somehow grab hold. With that the fragments should give you some advantage to obtain A-Keys without harm or death." Jenny said with her partners agreeing giving nods of head to confirm this to them.

"...In Other words, we're gambling on the Fragments to give some edge. I can see that the A-Keys are going to give us hard time collecting the D-Keys. Should there be anything else we need to worry about?" Burst has been asking many questions, both good for knowing the missions and bad for when his performance is at all-time low.

"There is one set of keys you should be wary about. Mainly called Fallen Keys or F-Keys as their called. So far you haven't encountered them, but know they are mostly random and unpredictable. When given to anyone or thing, they bring something much fouler in the souls. Bringing the worse traits of them into something you would call psychopaths or horror monster types. The fallen Keys will have their own behaviors and traits, almost mistaking them as regular Angel Keys. Which is why they are called Fallen for their deception like the Fallen Angels pretending to be gods when they aren't. If you confront any of them, do not hesitate to attack. They will show you no mercy afterwards." Jenny warned, no doubt whatever forces they may have to face, this third party maybe a problem in their quest.

"It's not bad from the sounds of it." Crow spoke after hearing everything from them.

"So, we find that kid again and steal more of those keys, but we can't forget he's a gundarion or half of one." Burst said.

"From what we know he seems harmless, in other words easily manageable. The others on one hand, will not be so easily defeated. We have at least one keyblade wielder among the cartoon species. They will no doubt give us headaches or at least annoy us." After Jenny said this, everything stops as if pausing the movie as Bugs appear chuckling and saying to the audience, "They don't know us very well, do they?" Then everything reverts back to normal as Bugs disappeared.

"There are also couple of video game characters joining the group. We have some experts to handle these species since their world where time is still. There is also the possibility of Cosmic power in play by one of their wizards joining the group. We will have someone end those beings permanently. So be warned, we may be dealing with the forces that bring order to time, space and reality. Delta Force in all purpose is to force reality to beg and knee before us as Gods. But you're not ready for this level of power. Beware of the good and allow dark forces to prevail." Jenny said to them.

"Actually ma'ams, sir. I have some ideas how to we can prove ourselves, if you're willing?" Dagger asked. All three look at each other in silence, despite having not said anything it's more that their mindset must be sync in way of thinking and information. This is done because of the visors they wear or sunglasses at times. Able to process information in seconds. In union and couple of seconds staring one another they turned as Jenny spoke, "What do you have in mind?"

Infinity Train - Pete and Gang

When Peter and Gang arrive at Infinity Train, they figured that finding Mickey, Bugs and Company would have been easy. How they find them here is more so Pete along with some help had track them into this world. When arriving they landed outside of the Train cars, giving them awed or annoyance from any of them awed at it. Among the group is the current assemble of villains. Bluto is left behind for his own personal reasons as he makes business with Ganondorf. When the business is done, Bluto does plan on joining their search for Mickey, Bugs and Company. But would like to avoid Popeye in confrontation, unable to defeat him when he's both trained and eating spinach. Currently the assemble team is consistent of himself, Bing who is recently joined saying her sister Cing will eventually arrive. Tom the Cat and Daffy Duck with their buddies that have joined them. Tom's friends of cats that have dedicated to hunting prey together as one cartoon cat society. Daffy Duck assemble of people that are bad guys or more importantly people that hate rabbits and Bugs Bunny.

"This is some strange place, like some giant train." Pete stated wondering how this train is built on a world. While the others are talking among themselves, Pete and Daffy stood looking around. The two have known each other for sometimes and know how their respective shows they have been mock or humiliated for their own characters compare to others. It was for fun and laughs, enjoying the smalls in families and children alike, but those were the old days long gone.

"So, I gotta ask, do you really believe in this strange and complicated plan of his? Seems over dramatic to just go through this trouble?" Daffy asked Pete who sigh for a moment and said, "Okay yes it's complicated, heck I don't think he understands his own plans or makes last second changes because something happen at that moment. But can you say, your life so far has been fulfilling?" Pete pauses for a moment to allow the question to linger, he would have said something back to Pete if he didn't drop his finger and shut up realizing everything, he has been pointless.

"Having only one room in the house, no wife or kids of your own. That's not even the worse life can throw at you, having no car to drive towards someone, affording the bills or rent of your own house. Not to mention the job you have to keep, sometimes bosses shouting at you or demanding of your coworkers like your nothing. Practically I say this and more is just common stuff that no one talks about, acting like that life meant something when the so-called American dream long dead. I did a show biz once in that with my pal Goofy, but even then, I had to get scrap from the streets, hired as some street thug for anyone. Once you're out of show biz your life is done, worse guys like us we're not respected or forgotten. I know that's all my life amount, Mickey being too busy in his castle with his fairy tale dream come true." Pete said, but then Daffy cut in before he could go further.

"Now hold on, that sounds a lot like self-loathing then actually doing something about it. I mean yes, I don't have much success... nor do I have any riches to hold... or fans that don't compare me... Okay I can see your point. But What I'm trying to say is, doesn't this seem we're going a little too far with our goals?" Daffy asked, showing some concern with this course of action.

"Maybe." Pete muttered, but Daffy heard him loud enough as he turns to face him saying, "But we can't go back, we're too neck deep." Pete then turned back to give some direction for the others. The first is to at least tell them about what their next move and how they will proceed. Daffy took one more look at the train and walk back as the others prepared themselves to seek those on this world.

Bible Topics:

Heroes of Man

So, this will have some of you angry, but that's okay cause this needs to be heard. So why does it matter if there are heroes of faith vs heroes of man? While on top having faith with works is what God approves. But not just approve more so your willingness to submit to Christ in fear and respect. Not the fear of force, but of loving towards God. Building a relationship is important to God and we tend to forget that God wants this relationship with us. While many of these great people are heroes in faith, they are also having deep bonds with God. Yes, they made mistakes and they have failed in ways we need to heed them. Yet what truly mattered is they are heroes of faith, because they are faithful to God in obedience, trust in him, willing to resist the temptations and powers that leads to sin and disobedience. Mainly, they love God through obeying his commands as some fathers love their child more as they obey their commands.

However, as Heroes of Man, I can't give you the define trait because while yes there are good things in being heroes of men, most come from our own ways of doing things in life. Heroes of man are the movies, tv shows, video games and other sorts that have heroes with powers and stuff. But what they don't show or say is how some of them only are heroes because of this situation or they justified it. What the meaning of both situation or justified is that the situation would have you say this is wrong, but now become right, or when you justified something, you can do that with any bad deeds or harm to others and you justified it. Now we don't usually have those extremes, but when you place yourself in situations where you could have been more for someone then yourself, that's when you can be something for that person's life.

Many times, in Media the define traits of heroics is basically shown in powers that shouldn't be possible or how they will say average persons can change the world if you do this or that. The problem in those two cases is what is the best way to help and if they are the solution? Many times, as Heroes of Man, there are ways to be recognize as heroes of the people through fighting, sports, challenge yourself against odds, or something that many of us understand or recognize. But in truth they are not what matter and only seem to be easy in what mankind wants to see and not what is needed. When compare to wants and needs, God has understood what is needed more then what we want. Yet those times when trouble happens, our wants take over our needs and think God isn't listening or giving what we demand. Heroes of Man have this attitude that what is wanted or what is possible to solve are the only ways to be heroes. However, if your heroes of Faith, you can do more than what Mankind thinks of themselves, yet when leading by faith, you will be villainizing for doing things that places God's standards as you allow the holy spirit overflow you. Jesus's Disciple are deemed criminals and villains as they are killed for following Christ. Yet by God's standards, you are the hero in faith. In God's eyes you're not only a hero in faith, but also a redeemed human through faith. But eyes of man will always make themselves the hero and everyone else the villain. Which are you?

And now back to the movie crossovers, this will be common trope going through the story arc. How they get out is actually depending on them, while Mickey may have magical powers to release them, it wouldn't do him any good. Since the infinity train is for them to grow and learn, if any escape too early they could return back with numbers still intact. Since the numbers is what has them tied to the train, they will eventually figure out that their own problems is the reason they have numbers from the start. Of course, some of them won't get off easy as the higher numbers would prevent them from escaping. More problems even now that other forces are tracking them down.

To say I want to change their personality wouldn't be the idea at the moment. It's more so making them aware and have them develop as characters to certain situations and problems. They are from a classic era where the problems weren't as bad or was bad just unaware of them. Honestly even when we learn them, we can go back and make the same mistakes as before. What should matter is we recognize the lessons and try not to do them again. Many of these cartoons are from an era where character growth wasn't a thing too often. So, this would actually be interesting to see how the modern times affect the classic life style they been living.

Now with this chapter done, I will be working on Other stuff like Bible Teachings while waiting for everyone to place their votes on the poll at least till 50-100 voters. Select your top three movies as your choice. When I get back to Galaxy Pirates, then will be work on more since I left that go too long. If you like to vote by reviewing, place your ideas and comments on it. Also, I fix the guest review setting, I didn't realize I goof it up. So, anyone that is guest reviews you can make your votes there as well or comments. I like to improve in some way even if Grammar is my weakness.

Character Profile:

Box Car:

Martha Stoles - Is a Great Gray Owl, she is simply doing this job because she wants to return to her box and be delivered where she will live out her new life. She seems unconcern for the others trap in this place or unconcern for when others are trap in this situation. For now, it seems like she's more focus on her own problems, just like the rest in the car. More likely trap in a situation that is outside her own control as she would try searching many boxes for her own box. She like to know where to go and what is her purpose for life. When faced with the unknown she rather follows what the crowd takes her instead of using her own friends and strength to get somewhere. When meeting with Mickey and Company she wasn't too trilled or angry to see them, as passengers come and gone, she has gotten used to them. As of now joining the group she has learned to be more open and willing to explore the unknown, with new friends and adventures ahead she will find that this group can be filled with many emotions and dangers that will be difficult to face.

Mail Operator - He's a Machine created for the purpose of delivering certain goods and trades that goes around the car's unseen by passengers. While some cars can be provided without any necessary sources outside the car. There are some that need maintain if the cars are to survive. Some of them are the basic foods, furniture and other stuff. But some like objects and animals are surprisingly sent to the cars, when opened too early the objects come to life as if they are people. The Mail Operator job is to make sure delivery is also assure in every car, to always be on time even if hours early from schedule. But overtime the job became unbearable as the Mail Operator became desperate for helping hands. When he did receive some helping hand, some passengers had messed up the system, changing his personality and character from the kind and gentle Mail Machine into a stern and controlling boss that demands help from others. While he does receive help from unwilling passengers, they refuse to stay to help work out many orders. At some point he would open the boxes, but be sure to keep them unaware that it's his doing. Offering jobs and ways to help sort out the problem, in truth he has all the boxes at hand, but let's one box per hour, while also maintaining many workers unknowingly forced to serve him. The hands are part of when he's created in order to filter and sort the many problems that came with his job.

Library Car:

Donald Duck - Donald Duck is one of the six characters most recognize by Disney as one of the main six as Mickey Mouse being the leading role with Daisy Duck as Donald love interest, Minnie Mouse also Mickey's love interest alongside his pet dog Pluto, and finally Goofy as part of the trio. As core members of the Disney Characters during the golden age of Animation in America, Donald had much shorts as became more popular character after Mickey shorts had stop for a moment. He can be compared to his rival not in Disney but from Warner Brothers Looney Tunes Daffy Duck. In the golden times Donald usually would have some wacky adventures on his own or with his friends Goofy and Mickey as the three of them go together. Not only that Donald has possibly larger family member that is mostly canon from Uncle Scrooge, to his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie as each of them wore red, blue and green color clothes respectfully. At times he's with odds with his nephews and cause trouble. As the Show biz days were numbered for some cartoons, Donald arguably has more appearance in cartoons with Scrooge McDucks Ducktales cartoons, connection with Darkwing Duck and possibly more as Mickey Mouse or more appearance.

Now living in their own Castle with Mickey as their ruler, Donald Duck is assigning the Wizard as he took studies of magic spells that helps in magical areas. Donald has some short temper that can cause problems of certain situations or he allows his anger to boil over without thinking of the consequence. In Mickey travels, they have encountered some things that are odd or in disbelief. The times when Mickey leaves, he's actually the co-helper of ruling the Castle and world alongside Minnie and Daisy. When the invasion happens to the world, Donald places his blame and frustration on Mickey and others for what happen. While he's letting go of his anger now, he could possibly hold some grudge towards Bugs and friends, mostly with Mickey as he's allowed his adventurous spirit ride over his responsibilities. For now, his grudge is with Mickey as when the two meet there will be heartbreaks on both sides.

The Chickens/Roosters/Hens - For many years since the creation of the car, they have lived in some library even though they are chickens. What separates them from your average chickens is how they speak, dress, and organize as people. They prefer the environment the way it should without chicken fighting as they seek more knowledge, fantasy, and so much more in many cars outside their own or create stories of their own. Chicken fights are not allowed as they are what causes damage or destruction to the car filled with books. What also is interesting is how they say their names. No doubt they all have full names, but don't usually use them. For the Males as Roosters, they are called out by their first name like Harold or Bob yet are called out on their last name, they have a last name but it's not spoken out too much. As for the Hens, they also have full names. Yet for their case they only use their last name and are called Ms. Doubtfire or Hector, they most likely have a first name yet aren't given such as they are more likely married and are instead called out by last name along with Miss as their first. This is more likely to respect marriage and tradition built within the car. If single they are called out by first name. They also function like any other chickens and their coops, but aren't acting like normal chickens as they are friendly and prefer reading instead. When Passengers come and go, they most likely refer to everyone coming in and out as passengers instead of regular people mostly for leaving the cars and for not coming back through one way. When one passenger makes mistake, they are added to the list of consequence they keep count for themselves. More likely unable to see the difference in passengers when they come and go.

Sandbox Car:

Ant Colony - Surprisingly living in the sand box underneath the sand. What makes it more astounding is how they made themselves tunnels and pathways throughout the entire sand box. For the most part they try and protect themselves from other forces like any other ant colonies, that also includes passengers and denizens as they would take prisoners or other means depending on the queen's decisions. From what is seen there are at least 11 colonies with 11 Queens that rule this colony. How this happen is unknown, but what is known are the society is still treated the same with more ant types moving around to help each other.

The Beast (Crab) - As the name implies, it's a given title by the ants that have to daily survive and strive in this harsh train car. If given another perspective everyone that comes to this car ends up smaller then toys held in hands like insects. What's interesting is the crab simply is playing with a sand box along with toys that is normally used. Why it's always playing in this sand box is unknown, but in nature it's only an antagonizing force because it intends to play with the passengers and denizens when they appear. Most likely this would end in deaths, but who knows.

Passengers and Companions: While not much is known about the passengers and denizens that travel with them. It can be assumed they arrived to this train for a reason, what that reason is are unknown. However, they are together because they got captured by the ants living in the Sandbox Car. Whatever the case, it looks like they will be sticking together as Peter and company couldn't leave them without knowing if they will be alright.

Passengers/OC's: Robert Kenworth, Franks Don Masu, Aki Chen, Mia Bouchard, and Freddy Handson aka Hannah Mariah

Companions/Denizens: Dan/Tiger, EX-8479/Calculator, Kelly the Sloth, Heckle the Possum, Louise the Kola, Dolly, Mr. Fuzzy/Teddy Bear, Sparkles/Spider

Objects:

Angel Keys - The main focus of the story since Aslan had told of these fragments. They are actually fragmented in other worlds, but once gathered together they can do things that are beyond imagination. However, purpose they are meant for is long forgotten as they no long have been remembered or lost by time. What is known is how the Devil Keys are corrupting them with their small fragments implanted like some bug bite or something worse. What can be considered is how when gathered, will there be some method of removing the fragments of D-Keys.

Devil Keys - The opposite of the A-Keys, one of corruption that slowly turns wickedly evil and greater corruption of one's body, mind, heart and soul. Any who controls these keys or has certain powers to condemned people for eternality. While not all are same level of wickedness, some are more absolute in its power as there is some who can resist them, yet will go down into cycle of repetitive wrongs that will create the evils with no end in sight.

Fallen Keys - Unknown at the point, but given what sort of powers both D-Keys and A-Keys are like, this one can be for greater good or most likely greater evil as the fallen keys doesn't imply good intentions or things that comes from it. Some actions of this key maybe good, but in truth none have any results that is desired.
