Chapter 6: End of the World
"Under the looming shadow of the Void, the world slowly drifted toward demise. However, not all hope was lost; two Pure Hearts had yet to be found. Could our daring heroes find them? Or was the world doomed to be devoured? Sora, Donald, Goofy, Mario, Peach, and Bowser ventured through the next door to find out..." Jiminy wrote in his journal.
The door leads the six to a new world, where it has a Japanese setting with a large stadium like structure and as the six leave the door, they look around.
"Whoa, get a load of this new world." Sora said and Mario nods.
"It looks peaceful." Peach said.
"Um, guys, look..." Goofy said, pointing at the Void.
"Oh, no! It's much bigger than in Flipside!" Donald said.
"Yes, very big. This does not bode well. This world is very close to destruction..." Tippi said.
"Then what're we doin' standing around like idiots?!" Bowser asked.
"For once, I agree with Bowser. We gotta find that seventh Pure Heart and fast!" Sora said and they nod.
(Field Theme: Sammer's Kingdom)
(Sammer's Kingdom-Arena Grounds)
The six begin moving through the grounds to find the next Pure Heart and find the next door and open it, taking them somewhere else.
(Sammer's Kingdom-Arena)
The group arrive at what looks like an arena.
"I YIELD!" A voice cried, as a man runs away. "I AM SHAMED!" The man cried, leaving.
"Uh, what was that?" Donald asked.
"Ahhh, so you run, coward! You disgrace your family's honor!" A voice said, as they see what looks like a warrior in armor and carrying a sword. "More unworthy opponents? When will this 'hero' arrive? Time is running out and still he refuses to show his face!" The warrior said.
"Is he talking about us?" Peach asked.
"Heh, if he's looking for a fight, I'll give him one!" Sora said, getting on the stand.
"Sora!" Donald called, as they join him.
"You stop now! You all wear clothes of crazy people! You must be if you mean to challenge me!" The warrior said.
"Um, we're not looking for a fight." Tippi said.
"But we'll give you one if you won't move!" Bowser said.
(Battle Theme: Sammer Showdown)
"Aha! So it begins! You challenge the guardian of the 1st gate! Prepare for game over!" The warrior said.
The warrior slashes at the group with his sword, but Sora blocks and counters and delivers five slashes with his Keyblade while Mario uses Power Jump, only for the warrior to deliver three slashes to attack, but Goofy blocks with his shield and then uses Goofy Tornado while Bowser slashes with his claws, but the warrior retaliates with a counter slash with his sword, only for Peach to use her parasol to block and uses Peach Bomber while Donald casts Thunder and they defeat the warrior.
"No more! I beg you! Your power is great!" The Sammer warrior said.
"How's that?" Sora asked, grinning.
"Your skills are impressive. You truly ARE the heroes of legend. You have finally arrived. You may proceed to the next gate." The Sammer warrior said.
"Next gate?" Goofy asked, scratching his head.
"What are you talking about?" Peach asked.
"Oh, SPLENDID!" A voice cheered, as they see a man wearing royal clothes and a crown head. "Oh, ho! What a performance! And such exotic garbs you drape yourselves in!" The royal man said, getting on the stand. "What a rousing spectacle of martial artistry!" The royal man said.
"Um, thanks, but who're you?" Sora asked.
"INSOLENCE! Show some respect, dog! You stand before King Sammer, ruler of the Sammer Guys!" The Sammer warrior said.
"Your unusual fighting style brings me amusement to no end! As a reward for your victory, I shall give you a glimpse of my treasure. BEHOLD!" King Sammer said, showing a purple Pure Heart.
"That's a Pure Heart!" Donald said.
"So, HE has it!" Bowser said.
"Indeed. It is the pride of the kingdom! If you desire it, you must prove your worth by defeating my loyal vassals in my tournament!" King Sammer said.
"Vassals?" Peach asked.
"In our kingdom, there is a legend that has passed down through generations; 'When a great hole appears in the sky, the world will soon be devoured'. The tempest in the sky grows larger by the day. It must be stopped!" The Sammer warrior said.
"The legend goes on and so, I shall continue a very dramatic reading... 'Only one thing can stop the Void: The great heroes must be given the Pure Heart'. Vassals, to me!" King Sammer commanded, as 99 more Sammer warriors appear.
"Gawrsh, that's A LOT of Sammer Guys..." Goofy said.
"You mean we have to fight ALL of them?!" Donald asked.
"Yes, should we defeat them all, you shall prove you are the true heroes. The Pure Heart shall be your reward if you defeat all of my 99 remaining Sammer Guys. Now, return to your posts!" King Sammer said, as the Sammer Guys leave.
"This should be fun..." Sora said.
"I shall be on the edge of my throne during this thrilling melee! I will await you at my palace! Let skill decide!" King Sammer said, leaving.
"As much as I enjoy beating people up, we REALLY gotta defeat EVERY one of these bozos?!" Bowser asked.
"At THIS amount of time?" Donald asked.
"C'mon, it'll be fun. It'll be just like Olympus and the Glitz Pit!" Sora said and Mario nods.
"Well, we don't have any other choice, so we'd best prepare ourselves." Peach said.
"Here we go!" Goofy said.
The group make their way to the next gate and begin progressing through the tournament while fighting the other Sammer Guys, who slash with their swords and giant swords, but Sora attacks with his Keyblade while Donald uses his magic while Goofy uses his shield while Mario uses his jumping abilities while Peach uses her parasol while Bowser uses his fire breath attacks, defeating the other Sammer Guys and moving on. The six keep moving through the tournament while fighting off more Sammer Guys with their magic and abilities, despite the other Sammer Guys using their own different abilities, but the six manage to keep fighting off more Sammer Guys and progressing through the tournament and they later head for the next door, taking them to the twentieth gate.
"Gate Twenty! We're doing good!" Sora said.
"Don't get cocky, Sora. We still have a few to go." Tippi said.
"Tippi's right. We can't stop now." Donald said.
"Yeah, I know. We can do this." Sora said, as they get on the stand and confront another giant Sammer Guy.
"SMOOSH! TO ROLLING THWOMP, THERE IS ONE THING BEST IN LIFE...ROLLING! SQUISH!" The giant Sammer Guy said.
The giant Sammer Guy attacks with its giant weapon, only for Sora to cast Blizzard, causing ice damage, allowing Mario to shoot fireballs while Donald casts Fire, but the giant Sammer Guy rolls around to try and squish the group, but Bowser gets into his shell and uses Whirling Fortress to counter while Goofy uses Goofy Charge, but the giant Sammer Guy jumps into the air to try and crush, only for Peach to unleash hearts to attack while Sora casts Thunder and they defeat the Sammer Guy.
"WHY DO YOU NO SQUISH FOR ROLLING THWOMP? ROLLING AND SQUISHING NOT THE SAME AS IT WAS... YOU GO NOW... I HAVE LOST PASSION FOR SQUISH..." The giant Sammer Guy said.
"Time to..." Goofy was cut off a quake.
"Now WHAT?!" Bowser asked, as the Void grows larger.
"The Void...!" Peach said shocked.
"It's getting bigger! We gotta go!" Donald said.
"Go? Why not just pause and savor the show?" A voice asked.
"That voice..." Tippi said, as Count Bleck appears.
(Theme: Champion of Destruction)
"It is already too late to stop...Count Bleck!" Count Bleck said.
"Count Bleck!" Sora said, taking out his Keyblade.
"What are YOU doing here?!" Donald demanded, taking out his staff.
"BLEH HEH HEH HEH HEH! BLECK! The prophecy unfolds smoothly, thanks to the Chaos Heart! The light of each world will be snuffed out one by one..." Count Bleck said.
"We WON'T let you do that!" Sora yelled.
"Why would you want to do something so...unspeakable?!" Tippi demanded.
"You QUESTION Count Bleck?! This world's destruction matters not! All worlds are worthless! Far better for Count Bleck to wipe them from existence than let them remain!" Count Bleck said.
"How can you say such a terrible thing?! No world is worthless! You're really willing to destroy all worlds and feel nothing?!" Sora demanded.
"Sora's right! What you're doing is awful!" Tippi berated.
"Count Bleck scoffs at both of you! An ignorant boy and an insignificant Pixl lecture Count Bleck on what is right and wrong?" Count Bleck asked.
"This is not up for discussion! You're wrong and sick!" Tippi yelled.
"Count Bleck, all living things have a heart. They're all priceless and have MEANING! Hearts are made of the people we meet and how we feel about them! They're what ties us together, even if we're apart! You'd think a heart is weak, but it's a pricless treasure anyone can have! You can't just erase them them like they're nothing! I won't let you erase anything that precious!" Sora yelled.
"Foolish boy! Of all things, you defend the heart? Nothing could be more worthless... All things...are meaningless. Aside from Timpani, no treasure mattered in the least to me..." Count Bleck said.
"Tim...Timpani...?" Tippi asked.
"Count Bleck, did you..." Sora was cut off.
"Speak no more! This world is dying under the monocled gaze of Count Bleck, but don't let that stop you from trying to find a Pure Heart you will never acquire! BLEH HEH HEH HEH! BLECK!" Count Bleck said, disappearing.
"This is not good..." Goofy said.
"We need to hurry!" Peach said and Mario nods.
"Count Bleck... Why do I have the feeling he's not really a bad guy...?" Sora asked to himself, as he joins the rest.
The group keep moving through the arena while passing other Sammer Guys, who refuse to fight, as the quake gets worse from the Void and later, they arrive at the next gate and hurry to enter the next part of the arena.
"Just how far are we?" Bowser asked.
"We can't stop now! We have to move!" Donald said.
"Splendid! The heroes have arrived!" King Sammer said, arriving.
"King Sammer." Sora said.
"We received word of your nasty run-in with that despicable Count Bleck fellow! Our ancestors truly did foretell these days." King Sammer said.
"With all due respect, Your Majesty, we really need that Pure Heart." Goofy said and Mario nods.
"Hmm, you still haven't defeated all of my Sammer Guys, but the situation is dire. Very well, for royal giggles, the Pure Heart is in this treasure." King Sammer said, showing a chest.
"Thank you." Peach said, as Mario opens the chest.
The chest opens, but it reveals to be a bomb, which blows up, but Goofy and Peach manage to use their shield and parasol to protect from the explosion.
"Hey, what kind of trick was THAT?!" Bowser demanded.
"Is this some kinda of sick joke?!" Donald demanded.
"But... But... That explosion didn't even turn you black with soot! It didn't even hurt you at all! This stinks!" King Sammer said.
"What's going on, King Sammer?" Sora asked.
"You really thought you'd just grab the Pure Heart? You guys are so dumb! Mimimimimimi!" King Sammer said, revealing to be Mimi.
(Theme: Mimi, Copycat)
"SURPRISE! It's me, Mimi!" Mimi said.
"Ugh, not HER again!" Donald said, taking out his staff.
"You dummies! You really though the King would just give you the Pure Heart?" Mimi asked.
"What have you done with the real King Sammer?" Tippi asked.
"Oh, he's taking a nice nap in his palace. Makin' cute snoring noises while his world goes BOOOOM!" Mimi said.
"We don't have time for your games, Pigtails!" Bowser said.
"Outta the way!" Sora said.
"DUMMIES! I'm here to GET in the way! If you think I'm soft like the Count, you're wrong! It's time for a nice nap for you!" Mimi said, floating into the air while summoning rubees.
(Boss Theme: I'm Not Nice)
Mimi fires many rubees at the group, only for Goofy to block with his shieldand then uses Goofy Discus and throws his shield while Peach unleashes hearts and throws at the evil girl, who disappears and reappears and rains down many rubees down at the group, but Donald casts Fire to deal burning damage while Bowser aerial strikes with his claws, but Mimi retaliates with charging with her rubees, only for Mario to shoot fireballs while Sora casts Aero. Mimi disappears and reappears and then fires more rubees to attack the group, only for Peach to aerial strike at the evil girl with her parasol while Donald casts Thunder, but Mimi rains down more rubees at the group, but Goofy uses his shield to block and then uses Goofy Tornado while Bowser shoots fireballs. Mimi charges at the group while spinning her rubees to attack, only for Mario to use Boomer to explode while Sora delivers triple slashes with his Keyblade followed Blitz, only for Mimi to disappear and reappears and fires five rubees at the group, but Peach blocks with her parasol and uses Peach Bomber while Bowser delivers a dropkick strike. Mimi rains down more rubees to get the six, only for Donald to cast Blizzard while Goofy aerial bashes with his shield, but Mimi charges to attack with her rubees, only for Mario to use Power Bounce while Sora rapid slashes with his Keyblade and then unleashes a burst of light and they finish off Mimi.
"OUCHIE! That REALLY hurt! You're not heroes! You're just big bullies, who hit little girls!" Mimi said.
"YOU'RE the bully!" Donald yelled.
"Well, it doesn't matter anyway." Mimi said.
"Huh?" Goofy asked.
"Take a look, dum-dum!" Mimi said, as another quake occurs, as the Void grows bigger.
"The Void is enormous now!" Tippi said.
"Yep, I got you dummies to waste LOTS of your time!" Mimi said.
"You sneaky...! You only stalling our time enough for the Void to get bigger!" Sora yelled.
"Golly, you're not as stupid as you're cute, huh? Guess you'll have to give up on finding that Pure Heart. Told ya I'm not soft like the Count! It's a bummer I can't stay and play with you, but this place is gonna go bye-bye! Later, meanies!" Mimi said, disappearing.
"That stupid girl!" Bowser yelled.
"C'mon, we gotta find that Pure Heart!" Sora said and Mario nods.
The six hurry through to find the Pure Heart, as the quake gets even worse, but despite moving as quick as possible, the Void grows much larger and the quake worsens and later, the quake becomes larger, making them stop.
"Oh, no!" Goofy said, as the Void grows larger and larger.
"We can't be too late!" Peach said.
"No! We can't fail! We've come so far!" Tippi said, but the Void grows much larger and everything turns white while destruction is occuring.
"Everything we've done... Was it all for nothing...?" Sora asked during the destruction.
Later, the group return to Flipside, but are unconscious while Tippi is still awake while thinking about Count Bleck.
"...Count Bleck... I feel like I knew him from somewhere... Wait! I do! Or at least, I did! I did know him! But... When? How? Who IS he? I can't remember..." Tippi said.
Later, Sora and Mario wake up.
"Ugh, what just... Tip?" Sora asked.
"Sora, Mario, you two are okay." Tippi said, as the rest awake.
"Urgh... Whuzzat? Whozere? What's going on?" Bowser asked.
"Why're we back in Flipside?" Donald asked.
"I'm a little discombobulated myself." Tippi said.
"But what of King Sammer and the Sammer Guys?" Peach asked.
"Gawrsh, I hope they're okay..." Goofy said.
"Yeah and hopefully, the Pure Heart's still there." Sora said and Mario nods.
"It seems the door leading to that world still exists..." Tippi said.
"Then we're going back! We gotta see how the world is." Sora said and Mario nods.
Sora and Mario go for the door and open it, taking them back to the world.
(Field Theme: World of Nothing)
The door sends the six back to Sammer's Kingdom, but everything is white with nothing else remaining.
"Whoa...!" Sora said shocked.
"There's...nothing left..." Peach said.
"So it IS destroyed..." Donald said.
"Wait, I can still feel something faint. The Pure Heart!" Tippi said.
"Really?" Goofy said.
"Then what're we waiting for?! Let's go get it!" Bowser said.
The six begin moving through the world of nothing while seeing the palace of Sammer destroyed and in ruins and later, they come across something in their way and it's what looks like a heart shaped stone.
"What's that?" Peach asked.
"Could it be...?" Donald asked.
"The Pure Heart!" Sora said.
"Somehow, it survived this worlds destruction." Tippi said.
"But how?" Goofy asked.
"Heh heh heh... This place is pretty bland now, eh?" A voice asked.
"Huh?" Donald asked, as someone appears and it's Mr. L.
(Theme: Mr. L, Green Thunder)
"Heeey! What happened here? Looks like your Pure Heart got broken. Guess Pure Hearts can handle the end of the world. Eh, whatever. I'll just swipe it for kicks." Mr. L said, taking the Pure Heart.
"Hey!" Sora called, as they confront the masked man.
"Well, well, if it isn't my dear friends." Mr. L said.
"You're that creep we fought in outer space with Xehanort!" Donald yelled.
"So, how about that Prognosticus? Anything the Count doesn't like... POOF! Never existed! I've got to run. Stay out of the Count's way." Mr. L said.
"We're STOPPING Count Bleck!" Tippi said.
"Now hand over that Pure Heart!" Peach ordered.
"Still pushing for a fight, eh? Who am I to disappoint? Brobot LAUNCH!" Mr. L commanded, as Brobot arrives, but it has hands.
"That thing AGAIN?" Bowser asked.
"Heh heh heh... Check out THIS bad boy! He's sporting the latest in brobotics! Meet Brobot L-Type!" Mr. L said, getting in the giant robot.
"Tch, big deal! We took apart your last toy and we'll do it again!" Sora said and Mario nods.
"Not today! The Green Thunder strikes like lightning! Have at you!" Mr. L said.
(Boss Theme: Vs. Brobot L-Type)
Brobot L-Type fires its fist to deliver rocket punches, but the six dodge the rocket punches, only for Brobot L-Type to jump into the air and tries to crush the group, but Sora aerial slashes at the giant robot with his Keyblade followed by speed slashes and then casts Thunder while Mario uses Spin Jump, but Brobot L-Type fires a giant missile from its nose at the six, only for Goofy to destroy the missile and then uses Goofy Discus while Peach uses Peach Bomber. Brobot L-Type throws its mustache like a boomerang to attack the six, but Bowser shoots fireballs while Donald casts Blizzard, only for Brobot L-Type to fire a giant laser to try and fry the six, who move out of the way and Mario uses Power Bounce and jumps on the giant robot many times, but Brobot L-Type rocket punches the plumber. Bowser uses Bowser Bomb to deal damage while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado, but Brobot L-Type jumps into the air and tries to crush the group, who dodge and Peach unleashes hearts to attack while Sora delivers five slashes with his Keyblade followed by casting Water, but Brobot L-Type throws its mustache like a boomerang. Donald casts Fire while Mario uses Boomer to throw a bomb, only for Brobot L-Type to fire another giant missile at the six, but Bowser delivers his spinning shell attack while Sora triple slashes with his Keyblade followed by a cross slash and then unleashes a small burst of light, only for Brobot L-Type to rocket punch.
The six dodge the rocket punches, only for Brobot L-Type to try and suck up the six, only for Donald to cast Fire into the robot's mouth, dealing burning damage from the inside, allowing Peach to attack with her parasol, but Brobot L-Type jumps high into the air and tries to land on the group, but Bowser uses Bowser Bomb while Goofy uses Goofy Charge, only for Brobot L-Type throws its mustache like a boomerang to strike. Mario jumps on the mustache and then uses Fire Jump and deals burning jump damage while Sora vertical slashes with his Keyblade and then enters Second Form and delivers many slashes followed by somersault slashes and then uses Ripple Drive, only for Brobot L-Type to fire a giant missile from its nose to attack. Goofy blocks the missile with his shield and then uses Goofy Discus and throws his shield while Donald casts Thunder, but Brobot L-Type fires another giant laser from its eyes to try and fry the group, but Peach uses her parasol to block off the laser attack and then uses Peach Blossom and unleashes cherry blossoms while Bowser breathes fire. Brobot L-Type rains down tiny missiles to attack and then delivers more rocket punches, but Goofy uses Goofy Turbo to attack the giant robot while Donald casts Blizzard, only for Brobot L-Type to throw its mustache like a boomerang and then fires another giant laser. The six dodge the attacks, but Brobot L-Type tries to suck up the group, only for Mario to use Boomer to throw a bomb into the mouth, causing an explosion from the inside, allowing Sora to deliver aerial slashes with his Keyblade followed by two speed slashes and then casts Thunder and they finish off Brobot L-Type, as it starts malfunctioning.
"Awwwww, WHAT?! No way! My Brobot L-Type fires missiles. MISSILES!" Mr. L yelled, as Brobot L-Type blows up, making the masked man falls while dropping the Pure Heart. "Preposterous! Why?! Why can't I WIN?!" Mr. L asked.
"Well..." Sora stops talking.
"Maybe it's because you're weak." Donald said.
"GRRRRR! You laugh now, but the Green Thunder never forgets!" Mr. L said, leaving.
"Why does it seem like when we see Mr. L, he's more familiar?" Goofy asked.
"Good question. You don't he's..." Sora was cut off.
"Look!" Bowser said.
"The Pure Heart." Peach said.
"He must've dropped it when he ran off." Donald said.
"But the Pure Heart is..." Sora was cut off.
"Turned to stone. I don't feel any kind of power radiating from it..." Tippi said.
"Quite lovely, isn't it?" A voice asked, as they see a dark corridor, revealing to be Young Xehanort. "This is what happens to those, who dare try to defy the dark prophecy. This is the fate you all will share if you continue this foolish quest." Young Xehanort said.
"So, we only let ONE world get destroyed, but we're STILL gonna stop Count Bleck!" Sora said.
"And no matter what, we'll make sure no other worlds will share the same fate." Tippi said.
"Is that what you still think? Then it looks you will still need a lesson to learn." Young Xehanort said, unleashing his Keyblade.
"Fine by us!" Sora said, taking out his Keyblade.
"We'll show you how Count Bleck's wrong like you!" Donald said.
"Very well. Allow me to show who's truly in the wrong." Young Xehanort said.
(Boss Theme: L'Impeto Oscuro)
Young Xehanort teleports around and slashes at the group with his Keyblade followed by transforming it into its whip state and delivers lashes while unleashing blue waves, but Sora counters and delivers five slashes with his Keyblade followed by cross slashes and then unleashes a small burst of light while Mario uses Cludge and delivers a strike with his hammer, only for Young Xehanort to disappear and reappears and unleashes orbs that fire lasers. Peach uses her parasol to block off the lasers and then uses Peach Bomber while Donald casts Aero, but Young Xehanort unleashes rays of blue ether and then summons shards of ice and sends them to attack, only for Goofy to block the ice shards and then uses Goofy Charge while Bowser spin attacks with his claws. Young Xehanort stops time and vanishes then delivers many slashes with his Keyblade followed by transforming it into its two sabers state and delivers many slashes with them followed by unleashing blue ethereal waves, but Mario counters and shoots fireballs while Peach unleashes hearts to attack. Young Xehanort retaliates with firing shots at the group to inflict Stop and Slow and then transforms his Keyblade into its whip state and begins lashing followed by unleashing blue ethereal blades, but Sora counters and diagonal slashes with his Keyblade and then casts Blizzard while Donald casts Thunder, only for Young Xehanort to unleash more ice shards.
The six avoid the ice shards, only for Young Xehanort to vanish and reappears in the air and delivers a diving strike with his Keyblade, but Goofy uses Goofy Tornado while Bowser shoots fireballs, only for Young Xehanort to stop time again and then unleashes more orbs to fire lasers to attack the six, only for Peach to use Peach Blossom and unleashes cherry blossoms while Mario uses Barry to deliver a strike. Young Xehanort disappears and reappears and delivers four slashes with his Keyblade followed by delivering a lightning surging strike followed by unleashing blue energy ether to deal damage, but Bowser uses Bowser Bomb while Donald casts Fire, only for Young Xehanort to counter with another time stop and then delivers more slashes with his Keyblade. Goofy uses Goofy Turbo while Peach unleashes five hearts and sends them to attack, only for Young Xehanort to vanish and then reappears and transforms his Keyblade into two sabers and delivers many slashes followed by a fire surging attack, only for Mario to use Power Jump to deal great jump damage. Young Xehanort moves all over while unleashing waves of blue energy to strike and then delivers many slashes with his Keyblade, only for Bowser to deliver slashes with his claws while Sora delivers five slashes with his Keyblade followed by two vertical slashes and then casts Water, but Young Xehanort stops time once more and summons many clones of himself.
The clones begin bombarding the six with sabers and magic, such as fire, lightning, and wind while the real Young Xehanort unleashes pillars of blue energy to deal more damage to the six, but they recover, as Sora, Donald, and Peach heal and then Sora delivers five slashes with his Keyblade and then enters Second Form and then delivers many slashes followed by Sonic Blade while Donald casts Thunder while Peach attacks with her parasol. Young Xehanort teleports and slashes with his Keyblade followed by two vertical slashes and then unleashes orbs that fire many lasers, only for Mario to use Boomer to attack with a bomb while Goofy uses Goofy Charge, but Young Xehanort retaliates with unleashing ice shards and sends them to attack the six, only for Bowser to shoot fireballs. Young Xehanort counters and freezes time again and then sends his clones to attack the six with sabers and magic again while unleashing orbs of blue energy, but the six recover and Peach uses Peach Bomber while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado, only for Young Xehanort to teleport and then tries to trap the six in blue energy chains. The six manage to avoid the attacks and Donald casts Aero while Bowser delivers a dropkick strike, only for Young Xehanort to vanish and reappears in the air and delivers a diving strike with his Keyblade, but Sora aerial slashes with his Keyblade followed by casting Fire. Young Xehanort disappears and reappears and then delivers slashes with his Keyblade followed by unleashing orbs of blue energy, but Bowser delivers a spinning shell attack while Peach uses Peach Blossom while Goofy uses Goofy Discus while Donald casts Blizzard while Mario uses Super Jump while Sora diagonal slashes with his Keyblade followed by casting Thunder.
Young Xehanort backs away from the attacks and Sora tries to attack with his Keyblade, but the young man manages to block with his Keyblade and they lock weapons.
"I'll admit you're doing quite well, but it's as far as you'll go." Young Xehanort said.
"Why are you siding with Count Bleck?" Sora asked.
"It's his darkness and despair." Young Xehanort said, shoving the Keybearer aside. "You can take the Pure Heart, but I assure you, it won't help you. You are doomed to fail." Young Xehanort said, disappearing in his dark corridor.
"What did he mean by doomed to fail?" Tippi asked.
"I don't know, but I don't think it's anythin' good." Goofy said.
"So, what do we do for the Pure Heart?" Donald asked.
"Let's take this to Merlon. Maybe he can help." Sora said and Mario nods.
Sora and Mario grab the stone Pure Heart.
END OF CHAPTER!
Meanwhile, Mr. L stops running and is worn out from his fight.
"I don't know what it is about those guys, but I just can't seem to beat them!" Mr. L said.
"Aha ha ha ha ha. Did they wound your fragile pride, Mr. L? Demolish your robot again?" A voice asked, revealing to be Dimentio.
(Theme: Dimentio, Charming Magician)
"Oh, it's you, Dimentio. I'm stumped. You'd think a giant robot would be enough to crush these heroes... I'm a disgrace... There's no way to show my face to the Count after THIS." Mr. L said.
"Perhaps it's for the best." Dimentio said, casting an explosion spell.
"Hey, what're you doing?!" Mr. L asked.
"You said it yourself. You can't return to the Count now. So get lost." Dimentio said.
"Not a funny joke, Dimentio. If I wanted to laugh, your face is inspiration enough!" Mr. L said.
"Such temper! Your nostrils flare out like the hood of a hissing cobra! I can't have you around Count Bleck. If I am to rid of you here, I won't be found out. The others won't even find you out. Yes, this is my moment of grasp! It's time for your final bow, Mr. L." Dimentio said, conjuring a box trapping Mr. L.
"H-Hey, what're you doing? You've lost your mind!" Mr. L said.
"Aha ha ha ha. Don't worry. It won't be so bad. I promise. I'll send the heroes your way soon, so you can have someone to play with. Ciao!" Dimentio said, making the box explode and Mr. L is gone.
"So, are we reaching for the next phase?" A voice asked, revealing Young Xehanort.
"Aha ha ha ha ha! Oh, my yes! Now I think it's time we move to the next step!" Dimentio said.
"Glad to hear that." Young Xehanort said, as they both vanish.
"The destruction of an entire world was a great and terrible tragedy. Luckily, Sora, Mario, and their friends had survived the cataclysm and found another Pure Heart. The end of that world had dulled the shine of the Pure Heart they had found. Was the Pure Heart's power lost forever? The heroes set out for Flipside to find out..." Jiminy wrote in his journal.
(Theme: Count Bleck's Evil Plan)
Meanwhile in Castle Bleck, Nastasia is talking to Count Bleck.
"Yeah, so just got a quick ping from Dimentio? We've had a little insubordination... Yeah, according to his report, our Mr. L took on a hero-fighting initiative... I accept full responsibility. It was my administrative breakdown that allowed this..." Nastasia informed.
"I see, remarked Count Bleck... Well, what is done is done. This prophecy will not be fulfilled without sacrifice." Count Bleck said.
"So, 'K... Um, and just another quick update on Mimi... Yeah... She, um, also left the castle." Nastasia said.
"Did she now? Well, Count Bleck will leave you to dispense the minion discipline." Count Bleck said.
"Count... Um, you seem...a bit different today. New monocle? Did something happen?" Nastasia asked.
"Count Bleck feels fine... Leave me..." Count Bleck ordered.
"Oh, um, of course, yeah... Please excuse me." Nastasia said, leaving.
"That Pixl... Could it have been...Timpani? No, no. Completely impossible. I should know better than anyone. It's far too late to do anything. The prophecy has been set in motion and no one, not even I, can stop it." Count Bleck said, leaving.
(Theme: Memory 6)
"Timpani! What did you do to her? I must see her!" Blumiere said.
"Still your tongue, Blumiere... Can't you see you've been duped by a dirty human? You have brought shame to my name and to the Tribe of Darkness." Blumiere's father said.
"And so what if I did? That doesn't matter to me! She's my entire world!" Blumiere said.
"Well, then it will interest you to know...that she no longer resides in this world." Blumiere's father said.
"What... What do you mean by that?" Blumiere asked.
"This is the price those, who resist their own fate must pay, my son." Blumiere's father said.
"She... No... It can't be...!" Blumiere cried.
"Somebody you will see, son. Our kind and humans must never mix." Blumiere's father said.
The six return to Flipside and make their way back to Merlon's house and find Merlon.
"Oh ho! The heroes have returned! Tell me, have you found the seventh Pure Heart?" Merlon asked.
"Well, we did, but..." Sora stops talking, as Mario shows the stone Pure Heart.
"Oh, my. What has happened to it?" Merlon asked.
"The Void consumed that world and left the Pure Heart like this." Tippi said.
"I do not feel the typical energy from this Pure Heart. Even if you set this on a Heart Pillar, it would do nothing." Merlon said.
"Gawrsh... We seem to be in a pickle..." Goofy said.
"How can we save him...?" Tippi asked.
"Tip?" Sora asked.
"Oh, I mean how do we save all worlds?" Tippi asked.
"In order to do so, we must defeat Count Bleck, who started all this, but we need all eight Pure Hearts." Merlon said.
"Aw, phooey..." Donald said.
"So, we're in a rock in a hard place then?" Peach asked.
"Ah ha ha ha! The forlorn group of heroes, how they cry! The tears flow like sad chowder!" A voice said.
"That voice!" Sora said, as Dimentio, Ansem, and Xemnas appear.
"Dimentio?! Ansem?! Xemnas?!" Peach asked.
"What do you three want?!" Sora demanded, taking out his Keyblade.
"Hmph, we are here to tell you that restoring the Pure Heart is futile." Ansem said.
"In this world, none have a way of saving it." Xemnas said.
"Yes, sadly, your hard work was all...in...vain." Dimentio said.
"Are you serious?! That stinks!" Bowser said.
"But fear not. We are here to give you a small token of your futile effort." Ansem said, as Dimentio traps the six in boxes.
"Hey! What're you doing?!" Donald demanded, as Dimentio casts a spell to make the boxes explode.
After the explosion, the six are no longer in Merlon's house.
"SORA! MARIO! DONALD! PRINCESS PEACH! GOOFY! BOWSER!" Tippi cried.
"Do not despair, for they have been sent to a new world." Xemnas said.
"Yes, their wishes are granted. You know who we are, right? We are your enemies!" Dimentio said.
"We serve the darkness and soon, all worlds will be devoured." Ansem said, as they disappear.
"It can't be... Sora... Mario..." Tippi said sadly.
