.. ~Teen Hearts~..

. Chapter Five.

"Wha- What?" Brent asked, astounded.

Tommy floated to the ground. "Sora, you've met me! I'm Superboy. Well, Superman now, but we met your adventure a few years ago."

"You're Superb- Man?" Brent asked.

Tommy nodded. "ALL THOSE YEARS I WANTED TO MEET- YOU!?!?!?" Brent screamed.

Tommy nodded once more.

Sean looked aggravated. "That's how you knew about the heartless?"

"DUH!" Tommy called. "Oh, and by the way, my name is Kon-El.

"What about Riku and Kairi! You aren't helping' them?"

"Nope, Tim is." Kon-El said

Sora looked confused. "Tim?"

"Robin." Kon-El reminded him.

"Oh, yea." Sora said.

"Kon-El?" Sean asked.

Silence.

"Oh, yea, sorry, I'm used to Tommy now. Just call me Tommy."

Kon-El's face suddenly looked bleak. "Listen."

Silence.

"Hear it?"

Silence.

"They're coming back! Brent, take Sean. I'll take Sora!" Tommy said.

..................~Voodoo Hut~.................. "Scrappy!" Kairi yelled.

Riku turned his head to Daphne and yelled "Hold on, we'll get you out!"

"Mhhhhh!" Daphne cried.

Riku quickly darted back to her and ripped the cloth holding her down.

She leapt to her feet and nodded at Riku. "Hay-YAH!"

Scrappy was pelted into the wall and knocked out.

"The rest of the gang is captured! They are in the castle I think. That's where one of the huge flying thingies went with them. In fact, one just left a minute ago with Shaggy."

"OK, You stay here." Kairi said.

"NO!" She said. You don't understand. I'm not helpless. I-" The room disappeared and created a flower covered hilltop in a Broadway-like fashion; "I want much more than this provincial life! I want adventure in the great wide somewhere, I want it more than I can tell. And, for once, it might be grand to have someone understand I want so much more than they've got planned..."

"Uh-Huh . . ." Riku said as the hut reappeared. They flew into the sky to follow Shaggy.

.................~The sky~......................

Tommy's 'Everyday Hero' sleeveless shirt flapped in the wind as he held Sora by the arms underneath him. Brent was levitating Sean through he sky. Suddenly, a huge bat flew at them. They dodged the huge bat and Tommy looked over at Brent.

"BRENT! You go down, I'll go up. GO!"

"Those big monsters," Sean said. "They've grown wings."

Sean suddenly began to fall. Through dark ness and the black sky. 11 women stood around him, trying to pull him up, using all their energy, some using nothing but their minds to pull him.

Then he woke up still in the sky.

Another bat soared trough the sky, straight at Tommy and Sora. Tommy let go of Sora, but to his amazement, he didn't fall. Tommy was using telekinesis.

Riku, Daphne and Kairi flew into the sky with Tinkerbell in close pursuit.

"Look!" Kairi called, as she pointed to the bat.

The bat was carrying a struggling Shaggy.

Riku shot towards the bat pointing his Keyblade at the monster. It rammed the monster and sent it flying.

Sean and Brent came up from the clouds below them. They all took off towards the creature and the direction it had flown . . .

.................~Spooky Island Castle~...............

The doors of the castle were burst open, proving that the creature had gone in. They landed on the ground and walked in, watching the lightning storm that seemed to be occurring only over the castle.

"WAIT!" Tommy said. "It's too easy."

Riku turned to him. "Ok!" He said. "We understand you're all big and bad, but come on, let's just go."

Riku stepped into the castle. A flash of light resounded and he was gone.

"Let's go." Tommy said.

Kairi seemed worried. "But then we'll disappear too!"

"Empathy shell." A force field appeared around them all, protecting them. They stepped inside and the light flashed, but they were still in the castle when it stopped.

Against the wall, someone was tied up. Daphne. She was knocked out cold, and definitely not responsive.

Sora suggested they get her down. Kairi said they had to find Riku first and Sean agreed. He was the most powerful person in their group, besides Tommy, but that really didn't count considering the fact that Tommy was five years older than Riku.

Once more, a monster appeared.

They all attacked it and it disappeared.

A heart rose outta it. The heart erupted into sparks and Riku reappeared.

He was shivering. "That was a heck of a thing." He said.

"What happened?" Sora asked.

"The princesses." He said. "I was falling and they tried to help me! Then I woke up."

'Oh." Sean said, a bit disappointed that it wasn't something he hadn't already experienced.

"Out of curiosity," Sora asked, "Just what is in this castle that all the monsters are protecting?"

"The Demean Ritus-" Riku said, "Remember?"

Two monsters appeared and grabbed Brent and Sean then darted farther into the castle, back into the Demean Ritus' holding room.

Sora motioned for the remaining three to follow him quietly. Tommy flew a good ways behind them to protect them.

".Tommy!" someone screamed in the depths of the castle. Tommy became nothing but a blur and sped after the sound.

"We better hurry." Riku said to Kairi and Sora.

They darted toward the room.

...............~Demean Ritus Cathedral~................

"Help!" Fred called, as Sean began punching at the small pyramid cage holding them.

"The Demean Ritus isn't here!" Fred yelled.

Scrappy entered the room. "Well then Mystery Inc. where is it?"

"Look!" Daphne said, pointing at Brent. "It's there!"

Brent's Millennium puzzle lit up. It broke free from the chord that held it around Brent's neck and spiraled slowly towards the small base were it was held.

"What?!" Sora cried. "The millennium puzzle is the Demean Ritus!?"

"Yes." Scrappy said, "and its mine."

"Part of the spirit of the puzzle is still inside me!" Brent said. "He could get us outta here." Brent lit up.

In his deeper voice he called out, "Quick, destroy the cage!"

Riku leapt forward and sliced the cage open, and they all ran out.

"Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, run!" Riku cried. Tommy herded them out. Scooby began to follow. "You're stayin' here big guy!"

"Rhy?" Scooby asked.

"Cause." Kairi said. "You're heart is stronger than Scrappy's." A ray of light shot out of Scooby's collar and hit scrappy. He evaporated into darkness and he was gone.

..................~The Ferris wheel~................

They all got in one of the cabins of the Ferris wheel. "Sora, something terrible is coming. Something light alone can't beat. I can sense it." Kairi said.

"No matter what happens." They all said, putting their hands into the middle. "We'll be here, righting wrongs, unmasking the villains and kicking butt! WHOO-HOO!"

They got off the wheel and the wheel lit up. All of their Keyblade's appeared and shot beams of light at the Ferris wheel. The world was locked.

Before long, the Gummi Ship had blasted off into the horizon and to Neverland . . .
