AN: Hello everyone! Thank you for reviewing Doomboy2000! (I never realized that you're called Doomboy2000 and so I kept calling you just Doomboy)! I don't have the internet at home still so that's why I always post it up right before the weekend since I won't be at school to post it up. I think I'm getting the internet soon (soon, my precious, soon) I say in a raspy voice. Okay, thanks for everyone's support. Are you ready to read the chappie? I think you are. On your mark, get set, GO!!!!

Disclaimer: Don't go just yet! I still have to say this thing EVERY time! I don't own Kingdom Hearts!! At least I own some stuff from this fanficcy, like Iqui and Vern. Yay! Alright, now it's for real....GO!!!

Chapter Six: Some Unfinished Business

They landed the ship in the first district. They visited Cid in the accessory shop and Donald's nephews in the item shop. Vern still stayed in the ship. Even though she was healed, no potion could replace the replenishment of sleep (nourish, replenish, drink from the cup-inside joke with Heather). Iqui was still trapped inside, bored out of her mind while the others, in her opinion, were having fun. I don't think that nearly getting killed is fun.

"Hey you guys, let's go visit Leon." Sora suggested.

"Yah, it'll be good to see him again, see how he's doing." Goofy said. So the three go into the second district. Though they thought they were safe, the Heartless still resided there.

"What? I thought that once we sealed the keyhole, the Heartless couldn't take over this place!" Donald said angrily.

Sora thought hard. "Wait a minute, I never sealed Traverse Town. I never saw its keyhole."

"Well, I think you will now!" Goofy said. He pointed to the fountain and there was the keyhole. "Come on! Let's go!" They ran up toward the keyhole, but were interrupted by a familiar face.

"Aw man, not you again!" Sora groaned. It was the Guard Armor, back for another round with the Keyblade Master! Sora jumped up and hit the Guard Armor with multiple combos, and in a matter of seconds it was defeated. "What? He was harder to beat the first time! That was pretty easy." Just then, the Guard Armor reassembled into Opposite Armor! "I guess I spoke too soon!" The Opposite Armor was much stronger than its other form, and its arms, legs, and torso were spinning like crazy. The best thing to do was cast magic, because when they got too close they would be whacked with the Opposite Armor's limbs.

"This is too...difficult!" Sora exclaimed. The Opposite Armor was no where near dead. At that moment, there was a huge gust of wind. Debris flew everywhere, and when the dust cleared, the Opposite Armor was lying on the ground. There was a figure on top.

"Hey...it's...Vern!" Donald yelled. "What are you doing? You shouldn't have gone out of bed!"

"It was a good thing I did, you guys were in a lot of trouble! I did a combination of a hurricane and tornado. Thought I'd try it out." Vern explained.

"Well it obviously worked! Thanks a lot Vern!" Sora said. He gave Vern a hug.

"Oh um, Sora? I need to tell you something, alone. I-"

"Hey I've been looking for you!" It was Leon. "Cid told me you stopped by. He wanted me to tell you that Merlin the magician wants to see you. I'll show you where he lives."

"Well, I need to talk to Sora first." Vern said impatiently. She needed to get a few things off her chest.

"Later, girl. Right now we got work to do." Leon said. Before Sora left to see Merlin, he sealed the Traverse Town keyhole. They followed Leon through the Third District and defeated the shadows and soldiers they encountered. They walked in a secret door and across many huge stones.

"Well, this is it." Leon said.

"Thanks, man." Sora and the gang walked into Merlin's house. It was an odd little house, with trinkets and knickknacks. Merlin was sitting in a desk, studying potions.

"Ah, Sora. I've been expecting you." Merlin said. "I can help upgrade your weapons, and if you like, you can practice fights in my arena below."

"Cool, thanks. We just upgraded our weapons. I have the Jungle Key, Donald has the Mercury wand, and Goofy has the Storm shield (Donald's weapons pertain to the planets and Goofy's pertain to the sky and nature).

"Well, you should stop by whenever you find a summon. If you bring the stone to the Fairy Godmother, she'll make it a summon and it will help you in battle"

"Thank you very much. Well, we better be on our way."

"Drop by anytime." Merlin waved goodbye to Sora. Sora, Goofy, Donald, and Vern walked back into the third district, defeated some more Heartless, passed through the now open door into the first district, and boarded the gummi ship.

"Oooohhhh...I bet Vern's in a lotta trouble! Going out of the ship and all." Iqui teased.

"Actually she's not. She saved our lives from a Heartless boss." Sora explained.

"What?" Iqui yelled. "If that was me, I would have gotten in trouble."

"Well yah. I'm pretty sure you can't conjure storms, let alone defend yourself. Vern is stronger and smarter than you are. That's why she can go out of the gummi ship." Sora said.

"I hope I'm cuter, too." Vern whispered to herself.

"The next world isn't too far away. It should be coming up soon." Donald said.

"I want to go outside!" Iqui whined.

"You can't, you're too young. You have no way of defending yourself." Sora said, trying to convince Iqui that she couldn't go out.

"What if I go outside and Goofy protects me?" Iqui reasoned.

"No! A Heartless could hurt Goofy and we might not be around to protect you. Iqui, I'm doing this because you're my sister. If I wanted you to die, I'd let you go out there. But you see, I don't want you to get hurt. Do you understand?" Sora asked.

"Not really. If you really loved me you'd let me go outside!"

"Man, you're a tough nut to crack! Just stop bugging me. The answer will always be no! Do I have to tell you that a hundred times?!"

"Yes."

"Argh! Just leave me alone!" Sora ran up to Donald. "Can this thing go any faster! I can't wait to leave this ship! If I stay in this ship any longer I'll turn insane!"

"What do you mean turn insane? You already are!" Iqui said.

"What? Hey!" Sora said.

"Remember, now we're even."

"Oh yah, okay." Sora said with a smile. Not because she did catch him off guard, but because he could see the next world. It was a small town surrounded by desert. Everyone walked out to explore the new world (except for Iqui, who made scratch marks on the gummi ship door).

"Where is everybody?" Donald asked.

"Garsh, it's deserted! Maybe the Heartless scared everyone away." Goofy thought.

"I don't know. But we have to look around. If we split up, it'll go faster. Donald and Goofy, you go to my left, Vern, we'll search to the right." Sora said.

"Okay!" Vern said without objection. This is my chance to tell Sora how I really feel, she thought. Especially since Leon rudely interrupted her last time she tried. "Oh Sora, I"

"Vern! Someone's there! Hey, who are you?" Sora asked.
