Author's note: Hey, you guys! Thanks a bunch for all of the reviews! Especially you, Moogle Girl. You've almost reviewed every chapter! Thanx! (Yes, you can have your cookie now) Okay, they are now headed to the world of Hollow Bastion again…
Adventure of Dreams
Chap. 7 Snakes
Now, they were on their way to Hollow Bastion, which was a very long journey. As they got closer, they could see ships surrounding the world.
"It's the heartless again!" exclaimed Kairi.
"Now what?" Goofy wondered.
Sora thought for a moment, "We have to fight…"
"But, Sora! There's too many!" said Donald.
"It's the only way."
"I think he's right," Aerus commented, "Otherwise we can't get to Aerith and the others."
"Okay…here it goes," Sora sped the ship up and flew straight toward the heartless, "Shoot our extra lasers!"
While Sora shot at them with the main guns, Riku used the extra one.
"It's not working!" Riku told Sora.
"We'll never make it!" cried Kairi.
"This isn't good…" Oneida thought.
"We have to find the main ship that's controlling all the other ones!" exclaimed Riku.
"That's right!" Sora agreed, "If we destroy it, all of the other ones will be destroyed as well."
"But, where could it be?" Kairi didn't have the slightest clue where it was.
"Hmm…"
"Hey…guys," Goofy started.
"We'll just have to keep looking."
"Hey!"
"Goofy, what now?" Donald asked.
Goofy pointed to a large ship that had just appeared, "That could be it."
The gummi was fired upon and jolted vigorously.
"Donald, shields up!" Sora commanded.
Just before the shield force was turned on, another fire from the main ship hit the front of the gummi.
"Great, they hit my gun!" Riku complained, "You're on your own, Sora."
"Look…"Aerus pointed out, "Aim for the center of the ship!"
Sora kept shooting at it, but nothing was happening.
"That's weird…"
Just then, there was a loud explosion, and the main ship was destroyed. All of the heartless ships could now no longer function and stopped shooting at their ship.
"Let's hurry!" Riku reminded, "Who knows what the heartless are up to down there!"

When they landed, they saw that part of the castle had been destroyed and thousands of heartless were surrounding it.
"How are we going to fight all of them?" pondered Kairi.
"Aerus and I can help," Oneida suggested, "We have weapons of our own."
Goofy gulped, "Here we go…"
They ran toward the castle and the heartless began attacking in huge numbers. Soon, after everyone began fighting, the ground began to shake, and the heartless scattered.
"What's going on?" Donald wondered.
"I have a feeling I know…" Sora thought.
"What?"
"I hate to say it, but… it's their leader….for sure."
"Great…" Riku sighed.
Just then, a huge, snake-like heartless burst out of the ground.
"Let's go!" shouted Donald."
When they began to attack, three more of the same heartless appeared.
"Let's split up!" suggested Riku, "Donald and Goofy can fight one, Aerus and Oneida attack that one, Kairi and I will work together, and Sora, I guess you're on your own."
"Don't worry, I can beat this one myself. It'll be easy," Sora told him.
They all attacked, slashing at the snake heads over and over. Everyone was weakening the snakes' power. All of a sudden, the heartless began spitting out poison. It was hard for everybody to avoid the attacks.
Oneida attacked her heartless with electric daggers, and it fell. But, then it shook its head and its eyes glowed. It had regained itself and spit poison straight at Oneida, and she fainted on the ground.
"Oneida!" Aerus cried. He raised his long, black sword in anger and struck the snake with all his might. It vanished in a puff of green smoke.
Aerus ran over to his sister, "Oneida!" he shook her, "Oneida, get up!"
She lay still, and Aerus didn't have any potions. He went over to the others for help, who were still in the midst of battle.
He asked Sora, "Do you have any potions?"
"Yes," he answered, "But, can't you see I'm kinda busy?"
"I'll help!"
They both worked together, and soon defeated the heartless.
"Here," said Sora when he handed Aerus a potion, "What's the matter?"
"Oneida was poisoned and she isn't moving! I have to help her. You fight with the others."
"Okay!" Sora ran by Kairi and Riku, "Guys need any help?"
"No!" Riku told him.
"Yes!" said Kairi the same time Riku spoke.
"Well, I'm helping," Sora said to Riku. Then, he used his thunder and fire combined, destroying the creature.
"Let's go help Donald and Goofy," suggested Kairi.
When they got over there to fight, the snake had already been defeated, with Oneida and Aerus' help.
"Hurry! We need to get inside the castle!" exclaimed Aerus.
