Everyone departed from the ship and stared at Halloween town. It was just as dark as last time Sora was her.

"I have and idea. "TINKERBELL!" Yelled Kairi. Tinkerbell came down from the sky and stood next to Kairi, glaring at Riku. "Tinkerbell, I need you to light our way." Kairi said. Tinkerbell nodded and the group took off after her.

"Let's go see if Jack is at his house." Said Donald.

...................................

Donald rang the bell on Jacks from porch. No one answered.

"Haven't you all noticed?" Asked Riku. "There's no one here, no people, no animals, no heartless."

"Let's go look for them!" Goofy shouted.

"OK, lets start in the graveyard." Sora suggested.

Everyone took off their costumes, seeing no need for them with everyone gone.

As they made their way to the graveyard, they noticed eight stones lining the walls. They approached the stones and read the name of the deceased.

"Ariel!" Yelled Riku.

" . . . I want to be were the people are, I want to see; want to see 'em dancing . . ." Sang Ariel's voice. A ghost rose out of the ground, one from each of the pure-hearts graves. They shapeless beings soon mimicked the looks of Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald and Goofy. It was the clones!

Out of the sixth grave came a Jack Skellington clone. "Wait, that isn't a clone!" Sora yelled. "That's Jack!"

"Hey, Sora, meet my friends! I thought they were you guys, but then I realized that they weren't." Jack said.

"Jack, those are evil!" Sora yelled.

"They're at home here, they have no reason to fight." Jack said.

"Where is everybody?" Kairi asked.

"Oh, don't you know? It's Valentines Day, and everyone is locked in their homes." Jack continued.

"But Valentines Day is the best. Girls get free things from boys who they dump the next day!" Kairi fantasized. Everyone was staring at her. "What?" She asked.

Riku began to sweat. He bit his bottom lip. His Emerald eyes were changing and making themselves yellow. He grabbed onto a tombstone and squeezed it, trying to relieve the stress.

"Riku?" Goofy asked.

Riku grunted. He tightened his grip on the tombstone until it shattered under his grasp.

He fell to his knees grabbing the dirt and letting it sift through his fingers.

"Take away my shield." He moaned. Sora slowly stepped forward and grabbed the shield.

Riku's eyes turned completely yellow. His Dark Keyblade appeared in his hands. His thrust it forward, attempting to take out Kairi's heart. He stopped with inches to go before reaching her chest. "Run." He yelled.

They did as they were told. They ran to Moonlight Hill. Riku soon appeared behind them. They all hid behind Sora and Jack.

Kairi stepped forward. "Riku, Sora has taught me the best things of my life. You can destroy my body, but you can't touch my heart. As long as I have friends, my heart can never die. That voice was right. We hold the greatest weapon of all. You can fight the darkness. You're heart is powerful, but with darkness. You have to fight it."

Kairi held out her hand. "I'm not afraid of the darkness." She said. Riku lifted the Keyblade into the air and slashed down towards Kairi. He stopped and put his hand in Kairi's. His eyes rolled into his head, and he fell down, sobbing. He was still holding Kairi's hand.

"I'm not either." He said.

Kairi helped him up and the Dark Keyblade disappeared.

Kairi and Riku hugged, but not in their usual way. They seemed to be thanking each other. For life lessons? For help? For friendship? Riku looked down at Kairi. "Thank you." He said.

"What are friends for?" She asked.

The two seemed to get lost in the moment, staring into each other's eyes.

"This is way too smoochy for me." Said Sora.

Jack was smiling. "Reminds me of Sally and I. That's why I'm the only one out on Valentines Day.

Kairi and Riku realized everyone was staring at them. Kairi continued staring at everyone with a surprised look o her face. She pushed Riku away. He screamed and fell on his back. Kairi still stared.

"Owww . . ." Riku moaned.

"Well, let's move on!" Said Goofy.

....................................

"With no heartless, this will be a piece of cake." Said Sora.

"Sora, we still have to find the orb." Said Goofy. "Jack, have you seen a stone with, uh, a moon painted on it?"

"Oh, yeah!" Jack remembered. "I saw a tiny rock earlier today! It had a moon on it."

"WHERE?" Asked everyone at the same time.

"Me and Zero were playing fetch with it. I threw it to where Oogie Boogie's house used to be. Zero went after it, but didn't come back. He must be looking for it."

"Maleficent has revived all of the villains. Chances are, Oogie Boogie is back too." Donald said.

"Well then we have to go find zero!" Jack took off in the direction of Oogies house.

"DETECT, OOGIE BOOGIE!" Kairi yelled.

"That won't work." Said Sora. "He's made of bugs, he isn't just one person. Try searching for Zero."

"You're not gonna get very far trying to find a ghost." Riku said.

"DETECT, MOON ORB!" yelled Donald. I light flashed somewhere back in town.

*"I'm on it." Riku said, as he walked back towards town. Riku grabbed his shield. (Sora was still carrying it.) And placed a finger on Sora's Keyblade.

"Lets find Oogie and Zero!" Kairi yelled.

....................................

"I don't remember this cave." Said Sora.

Everyone walked in. Tinkerbell still lit the way. A voice could be heard from deep inside the cave.

"HA, HA! Don't worry, Maleficent. The strong one is close to cracking. He'll be with us soon. The Keyblade kid is not even close to finding the orb. He'll never lock Halloween Town."

Maleifcents voice echoed through the cave. "Good. We'll need him in capturing the girl. I expect the city is ready for the Heartless to invade?"

"Yes, your darkness, the Halloweenians are all locked in their homes. Not even the Pumpkin King dares to dwell the streets on Valentines Day."

"Good. I'm sending Riku to you now." Maleficent said, apparently in a projection. A screaming could be heard from town. Before long, Riku was walking right through the cave to Oogie Boogie.

"Get your little friend, Kairi and bring her here!" He demanded. Riku shook his head.

Kairi stepped out of the shadows. "Go ahead Riku." She said. "I'm right here. If you think it's right, take me away. Riku walked up to Kairi. He glared at her, and winked.

"Here she is." Riku said, hauling Kairi over to Oogie Boogie.

"GO!" Kairi shouted. Riku had Kairi stand on his hand. He catapulted her through the air. She hit Oogie Boogie, knocking him down. "Wanna know what really burns cloth?" she asked, looking down at Oogie Boogies cloth skin. "FIRE!" She screamed. Oogie Boogie caught on fire. All of the bugs that made him up scurried out of the burning cloth, but they were no match for Sora, Kairi, Riku, Donald and Goofy, who squashed every last one.

Sora high fived Riku. "How did you know Maleficent was calling you if you didn't feel the darkness?" He asked. I set up mini microphones everywhere. I knew you guys would get in trouble.

(Where did Riku place the microphone? Look back to the paragraph with the * in front of it.)

"Did you get the-" Sora began.

Riku held out his hand and a small, marbled sized sphere gleamed in the moonlight.

"ALL RIGHT!" Sora yelled. He placed the small orb into the Key. It became the Pumpkin Head! Now, he had a crown orb (Destiny Islands) a tree orb (Deep Jungle) a sand orb (Agrabah) a wave orb (Atlantica) and a moon orb (Halloween Town,) that was 5! Only nine more to go! Everyone stepped out of the cave.

Just as he had done last time, Sora held the Keyblade to the moon. The beam shot to the moon and bounced back to earth, revealing the giant keyhole just outside the cave on the ground.

Zero shot out from behind a tree and barked, licking Jack.

"Thank you Sora. The heartless didn't even get a chance to attack!" Jack shouted gleefully. "But you know, The heartless will keep coming. Forever. It's your duty to protect the Keyblade."

"I will." He said.

"And we're here to help." Said Donald and goofy, putting their hands on the Keyblade.

"Friends forever." Said Kairi, putting her hand on top of the other threes.

"No matter what." Shouted Riku.

"Never give up." Jack said, placing his hand on everyone else's.

"What about Ariel?" asked Riku.

"Don't worry, it was all fake!" Jack said.

"Speaking of Ariel, we gotta go. Places to go worlds to explore!" Kairi said.

....................................

Everyone jumped on the Gummi ship and of they went, soaring through space. They were nearing a great big clock tower and a pirate ship. "Pirates?" Yelled Kairi.

"We have worse problems than that!" Yelled Riku.

Slowly, but surely, a great whale was gaining on them, and it wasn't backing down.

"Main Power down!' Yelled Donald.

"The ships lights went out and the sound of shut-off engines whirred through the cabin. Luckily, the ship had something soft and pink to land on . . . a tongue.
