Kingdom Hearts: The Keyblade Catastrophe

MrT: Chapter 3 has finally arrived.

Harintintu: Wahoo

MrT: I am going to start a countdown in these author's notes.

Harintintu: What kind of a countdown.

MrT: Countdown about when school is going to be over.

Harintintu: Really?

MrT: No.

Harintintu: Then what can be better than a countdown of when school will be out?

MrT: A countdown of when Kingdom Hearts 2 comes out.

Harintintu: Well how many days are left?

MrT: There are 212 days left. A little heads up is that I take into consideration that it takes 24 hours or one day for the story changes to go through. So today when I am writing this it is actually 213 days left. But by the time you read it is a day later so it would be 212 days left. By the way today is February 20 2005. Just for clarification: I wrote this on February 19 2005. When the changes go through and you are able to read this it is a day later so it will be February 20 2005. I hope I explained it well enough for you.

Harintintu: What day will it come out?

MrT: It is supposed to come out September 19 2005. I know that is a long time but I started this countdown myself at 318 days left so I am eager for this game to come out.

Harintintu: What happens if you finish the story but the game has not come out yet?

MrT: I will continue the countdown on the next story I write. I will tell you the title or you can type in my pen name and find the story if you want to keep up with the countdown.

Harintintu: Oh, okay.

MrT: One last thing. I updated my user profile and put in a really cool poem. Well at least I think it is cool. I wrote it myself. It is called the Gamer's Creed. Search for my profile and look at it if you want. My pen name is Mrturtle. Sometimes it changes though and it will only come up under mrturtle. So try both to successfully reach my profile. Also give me an email if you like it. If not you can still give me an email and tell me why. My email should be on there.

Harintintu: Yeah I read it earlier. Man, are you poetic.

MrT: Now off of video games and video game poems and on to Chapter 3.


Chapter 3 The Reunion


"Sora would you wake up," Leon says while desperately trying to shake Sora awake.

"Is that you Leon," Sora says while rubbing his eyes.

"Yes but we can catch up later." "Right now you need to get up."

"What is with the rush Leon?"

"The heartless are in Traverse Town."

"The heartless are here?"

"Yes"

"Hey Leon can I have a piece of your bubble gum."

"Sorry (chew) this (chew) is (chew) my (chew) last (chew) piece," (chew) (chew) (chew)," Leon says while excessively chewing his bubble gum.

"What flavor is it anyway?"

"It is a specialized gum I got from Cid."

"That doesn't tell me the flavor of the gum."

"It is blue raspberry."

"How did he make it Leon?"

"All Cid had to do was compress and heat a gummi block."

"How can you eat a melted gummi block?"

"Don't be hatin Sora just because you cannot have any."

"Did you give any to Donald and Goofy?"

"No I did not Sora."

"Do you know where they are anyways Leon?"

"They are out by the world gate holding off the heartless."

"Why didn't you tell me they are fighting the heartless without me?"

"Well Sora I did not think you cared about anything but this bubble gum."

"You are dead wrong Leon."

"We need to get out of here Sora; before the heartless find us."

"I am going to go help my friends."

"NO Sora, they are fighting the heartless to give you time to escape."

"Escape; why in the world would I want to run from a fight with a few dinky heartless."

"These are no dinky heartless Sora; they are more powerful and their leader is here."

"First the heartless and now Ansem; I thought they were both defeated and done with."

"Their leader isn't Ansem, Sora."

"Then who is it?"

"Some a lot more powerful than the Ansem you fought."

"Who is it already?"

"The heartless are being controlled by Riku."

Inside Note

MrT: Sorry about the intermission but I needed to tell you that these line breaks as you have noticed separate the title from the text. They also will provide a little scene change. Like we are now with Sora and Leon but we are going to go to where Donald and Goofy are. Sorry again and on to Donald and Goofy.

"Watch out Donald," Goofy said as a search ghost (The ghost heartless with the glowing eyes and the hands not connected to his body) snuck behind Donald.

"Don't worry about me Goofy," Donald said as he spun around and incinerated the ghost with a Firaga spell.

"Where did all these heartless come from Donald?

"Goofy; I am trying to stay alive here so lets finish the heartless first and then talk."

Goofy nodded assent and lifted up 'Save the King' (A the top weapon for goofy that you win in the Hades cup) and charged into the heartless.

"Firaga, Firaga, Firaga," Donald said but was not able to cast a fireball. "Goofy I think I need a little MP over here."

"Give me a minute."

Goofy was surrounded by heartless of all sorts from large body's (The big purple guys who you have hit in the back to damage) to shadows. He used the ability tornado and started spinning. He twisted and twirled at every angle to get at his enemies. The shadows became shadows and got on the ground to avoid being hit. As his tornado attack slowed down Goofy became dizzy.

"What did you say Donald," Goofy said while directing his conversation to a shadow. A short period of time passes. "I guess you forgot, I forget a lot of things so don't feel bad."

"I did not forget, I need more MP," Donald says while viciously swinging around 'Save the Queen' (The top weapon for Donald that you win in the Hades cup) at all the intruding shadows.

"Oh is that what you said," Goofy says while starting to head toward the shadow. "Well I am on my way." "Is it me Donald or have you gotten a lot shorter?" "Hey when did you dye your feathers black," Goofy says still talking to the shadow.

"What is wrong with you Goofy you seem; well dizzy."

"That would probably be because I am."

"Well hurry up would you."

"Can't you see I am walking towards you this very moment Donald."

"Start running Goofy."

"Okay."

Goofy started running toward Donald. (A.K.A really the shadow). While running he tripped over a rock right in front of the shadow. He went soaring into the air and landed on the shadow.

"Oh I am sorry Donald I did not mean to land on you." "Where did you go anyway," Goofy says as he realizes Donald is no longer under him. His head was cleared as he landed.

"How did you get way over there Donald," Goofy says now talking to the right Donald as he located Donald across the courtyard. "MP Gift," Goofy says as he gathers MP into his hands and throws it over to Donald.

Donald reaches up and catches the MP ball. "Thanks Goofy." Donald lifts his weapon high above his head and prepares for a spell. "Graviga," Donald says as he brings Save the Queen downward and a big gravity field follows.

The shadows were wiped out by the spell. Donald and Goofy looked around expecting to see more. On account of not seeing any more they started walking toward the Café. When they got there the place was all locked up and the waiter was nowhere to be seen.

"I guess they went to go hide from the heartless," Donald said to Goofy as they took a seat at one of the tables in the outside Café.

"Donald; it is a little cold over here."

"What do you expect me to do about it Goofy."

"The candle is blown out so I was hoping you could light it."

"Fine, Firaga."

As they sat at the table hovering over the candle trying to get warm Goofy noticed something.

"Donald look over there for a second."

Donald looks and was surprised to find that they were no longer alone but someone had come and sat at a table near him.

"What am I looking for Goofy?"

"That hooded guy has a keyblade," Goofy said now speaking in a whisper. "Do you think that is Sora."

"That person is too tall to be Sora but anyways take a closer look at the keyblade and tell me what it looks like to you."

"It looks like Sora's keyblade but the gold and silver plating needs to be switched."

"Who is the only other person that we know of who has a keyblade Goofy?"

"The King."

"Good job; now what color is the king's keyblade."

"It looks exactly like that actually; Donald."

"Do you know why it looks like the king's keyblade Goofy?"

"Not exactly Donald," Goofy starting to get confused by the never ending questions.

"Because that is the king's keyblade you idiot," Donald said in the loudest whisper imaginable.

"If he has the king's keyblade then what happened to the king," Goofy said in a confused and bewildered way.

"I don't know Goofy I really don't know but I am sure he does," Donald said while nodding toward the hooded character.

"Then let us go ask him; shall we?"

"We shall."

Donald and Goofy stood up and pushed in their chairs. They took a deep breath and walked the few feet to the keyblade impostor's table and sat down. The cloak guy did not show any indifference in them sitting there or even seem to acknowledge their presence.

"Hi stranger," Donald said, trying to keep his cool and not start a tirade against this fellow until they got a few things straightened out.

"Stranger; is that what you think of me Donald.

"Yes; but I was wondering where you got that wonderful object beside you there."

"I got it from a very annoying rodent that happens to be my friend."

"What did you do to Mickey, Riku?"

"So you finally recognize me, how so?"

"It isn't all that hard because I sorta remember your voice, you have platinum blonde colored hair sticking out of your hood that you ridiculously refuse to lower, and you were the last known person to be with Mickey after we parted."

"Well now that you know my identity I guess I will be kind enough to show you what I did to Mickey."

When Sora heard that Riku was controlling the heartless he rushed out of the hotel room and out into the second district courtyard. He then rushed into the first district. Upon entering the district he heard voices coming from the café. So Sora jumped up on top of the accessory shop to get a better look. He started to crawl across the roof until he was startled to see Donald flying in the air right before him.

"Donald," Sora said while cautiously moving closer.

As Donald elevated himself higher and higher he started to spin. Upon one of his rotations Sora realized that Donald was not conscious. For Donald's eyes were rolled into his head and the white of the eye is all that can be seen. All of a sudden Donald abruptly stopped spinning. Sora watched in awe as a black gas poured out of Donald's mouth.

"Awesome spectacle isn't it Sora," Riku says while walking on the shingles of the roof.

"Why are you doing this Riku; I thought it was Ansem and not you fighting with the heartless." "Ansem is destroyed now and yet you still side with the heartless and why is what I want to know.

"It is quite elementary actually if you put a little thought into it." "You ever hear about the saying when someone dies?" "It goes a lot like this; He may be gone physically but shall always remain spiritually in the hearts he has touched." "I may not have had any friendship with Ansem but he indeed did touch my heart; physically in fact as he overtook my body." "So Ansem shall forever more live within my heart." "I also abide by the statement of follow your heart." "My heart is telling me to reek havoc, ruin lives, and destroy worlds."

(Cough, cough, cough) Donald's body was now coughing up the black substance as the last of it is being removed from his body.

"What is happening to Donald," Sora said anxiously.

"He is having an internal conflict with what I would like to call his true self."

"True self?"

"You will see in a minute for as soon as the black fog is removed from his body you will see a different side of Donald." "Or if you do not like to wait you could turn around and see what happened to Goofy."

Sora turns around and sees Goofy in perfect health standing right behind him.

"I still do not know what happened to Goofy, Riku for he seems fine and dandy to me." "So I would like to know what is going on here."

"Why don't you ask him yourself he is right over there?" Riku points to the other side of the roof.

"Yeah I guess I could do that." Sora turns to Goofy. "Hey Goofy; Are you okay?"

There is no response to Sora's question besides that Goofy stares at Sora and begins to walk closer.

"Did you put him in a trance or something Riku?"

"No; Let us just say he has had a change of heart." "Donald's heart is changing as we speak."

Sora turns to look at his hovering friend. As he did this Goofy strapped his shield to his left hand and continued onward to Sora.

"Sora," Goofy says while lifting his shield arm.

"What."

SMACK

Goofy's shield made contact with the soft flesh of Sora's cheek.

The attack caused Sora to fly over the side of the roof into Donald.

(COUGH)

The last of the black gas was forced out of Donald's body as he flew backwards to the entrance gate of Traverse Town. Riku beckoned the black smoke to come closer. As he did the smoke began to form into the shape of a dragon.

"Put it over there," Riku said pointing to a section of the roof.

The dragon obeyed the command it was given and started to regurgitate. As it regurgitated a white fluffy feathery bird-butt was coming out of its mouth. This thing kept wiggling it's way out of its mouth for a few more minutes before it was free. Sora looked at it and then looked back at Donald behind him.

"They look exactly alike don't you think Sora."

"It is illegal to clone things without permission from the government." "Now the FBI is going to chase you down for your crimes Riku."

"If this is cloning then your mother is going to jail with me."

"Don't you be talking about my mama."

"You are the one who brought up cloning Sora if you do not recall." "Let's see, that was about three seconds ago."

"What does that have to do with my mama," Sora said now starting to get very angry.

"What do you think the definition of cloning is?"

"I am the one asking questions here." "What does that have to do with my mama?" "If I have to I might just start talking about your mama."

"Just answer the question would you."

"Why don't you answer mine?"

"I will answer your question after you answer my question."

"Why do I have to answer yours first if I asked mine first." "This questioning thing has to go in chronological order."

"For once I agree with you Sora." "That is why I am answering your question first."

"Then go ahead and answer it."

"What do you think the definition of cloning is?"

"You just said that you were going to answer my question first and then you ask me a question." "So I am going to ask you one more time; what does that have to do with my MAMA?"

"To answer your question you must answer mine."

"What the heck is that supposed to mean?" "To answer my question I must first answer a question." "What is that, Confucianism?"

"Fine you fool." I will answer the question for you.

"Why do you ask a question that you already know the answer to Riku?"

"So that the person who answers it will look like an idiot."

"How come you can answer that one so fast and you can't answer the question I asked first?" "Chronological order is the way to go remember."

"FINE!" "Cloning is reproducing something living in your own likeness right?"

"Yes."

"I cannot believe it; we are finally getting somewhere in our conversation."
"Well who did your mother give birth to?"

"What is this 50 questions or something?" "I haven't though this hard since I got my kindergarten diploma." "Well of course my mother gave birth to me."

"You left one thing out."

"What?"

"That she also gave birth to me." Riku cupped his hand over his mouth and said, "I am your brother."

"Hey you sorta sounded like Darth Vader just then." "I don't think you are my brother though."

"You are correct, I just always wanted to say that." "Well anyways my point this entire time was to tell you that your mother made a recreation of her likeness when she gave birth to you."

"So you mean that was what this entire conversation was about."

"Basically and the fact that your mother is going to jail if this is considered cloning." "All I did was make a likeness of Donald and Goofy." "Just like I am going to do to you." "Dragon of Darkness Ar…."

Smack

Donald smacked Riku in the back of the head with his weapon. Donald (real) woke up during the conversation and snuck around to get on top of the accessory shop. The blow Donald dealt was strong enough to knock Riku off the top of the roof. To avoid falling and hitting his pretty face he conjured a portal below him and disappeared.

"That was awesome Donald; when did you get so strong?"

"It was nothing Sora, all I had to…

Clunk

Donald (dark) knocked Donald (real) over the edge of the roof. Donald (real) was falling right towards the portal that Riku created earlier. An object flew from the café and slid under Donald right before he reached the portal and whisked him to the ground.

"What is this," Donald said as he removed the object from beneath him.

"Goofy's shield, how did that get there."

"Because I put it there Donald," Goofy said.

"It took you long enough to get here Goofy."

"Garsh, I'm sorry Donald I went to sleep."

"What about your clones guys," Sora said while turning to look at the duplicated duo.

"They are 'likenesses' anyways Sora," Donald said, "Didn't you listen to a thing Riku said."

"Well it's too late too do anything now." "Because of your bickering they are getting away," Goofy said while scratching his head.

Sora and Donald turn around in time to see both Donald's and Goofy's 'likenesses' jump into the portal as it vanished.

"What (chew) are (chew) you (chew) doing (chew) over (chew) here," Leon said still chewing on the same gum as before.

"Are you still chewing on that same gum as before?"

"Yeah, Gummi block gum is long-lasting."

All of a sudden a shadow came out of nowhere and ran on top of Leon's head. It looked Leon right in the eyes.

"Scram," Leon said with his mouth wide open.

With lightning fast reflexes the shadow grabbed the gum out of his mouth and started running.

"Get back here with my gum you thief."

Leon ran to catch up to the shadow.

"Leon, just let him go would you." "We have to get to Hollow Bastion and check out the main keyhole there," Sora said grateful that the noisy, aggravating, squish squashing, and slurping sounds that Leon made with the gum.

"I will be back in a second just wait here," Leon said and ran off into the third district.

"Well should we wait or leave his gum-chewing self here," Sora said.

"You shouldn't get so spiteful just because you don't have any gum," Donald said.

"Spiteful; do I look spiteful to you.

"You did but now you are looking kinda angry."

(Chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew)

"I'm back and I got the gum back too."

"Leon, if you chew that piece of gum again I will have to smack that glob out of your mouth," Sora said looking very serious.

"What (chew) is (chew) wrong (chew) with (chew) you (chew) Sora?"

"Your freakin' gum!

"It is just some harmless gum." (chew) (chew) (chew)

"It's me or the gum." "Make your choice wisely."

"Y'all can argue later we need to move." "That little shadow brought some friends for that gum of yours, Donald said nodding to the horde of heartless behind Leon."

"Let's head out to the gummi ship," Sora said.

Sora, Leon, Donald, and Goofy then started running out of the world door of Traverse Town. Past the door they got into a Pumpkin looking gummi ship. While they were trying to take off a shadow slammed into the side of the ship and created a very small hole.

"Ship is unstable," said the computer system of the gummi ship. "Hole in the hull." "Ship is unstable, hole in the hull."

"I can't take off, the hole in the hull will cause all the air to leak out," Sora said while sitting in the cockpit.

"Ship is unstable," said the computer system of the gummi ship. "Hole in the hull." "Ship is unstable, hole in the hull."

"Well (chew) we (chew) have (chew) got (chew) to (chew) do (chew) something (chew) with (chew) this (chew) hole," Leon said still chewing on his gum. "It (chew) is (chew) only (chew) about (chew) the (chew) size (chew) of (chew) a (chew) dime (chew) but (chew) the (chew) compression (chew) of (chew) the (chew) ship (chew) will (chew) cause (chew) all (chew) the (chew) air (chew) to (chew) escape (chew) through (chew) it (chew) though." (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew) (chew)

Smack

Sora's fist collided with the side of Leon's mouth. The wad of gum went flying out of the greatly chewed piece of gum.

"Ship is unstable," said the computer system of the gummi ship. "Hole in the hull." "Ship is unstable, hole in the hull."

"I told you I would smack that gum out of your mouth didn't I, Sora said rubbing his hand from the brutal impact. "I don't need you and that computer program to be making all of this incessant unnecessary noise."

"Ship is unstable," said the computer system of the gummi ship. "Hole in the hull." "Ship is unstable, hole…. "Ship is repaired, ready for take-off."

"What, how did that happen," Sora wondered.

Sora then turns to look at where the hole was and found that there it was not there. He found a smudge of blue where the hole should be.

"Hey that's my gum," Leon said as he saw his beloved blue raspberry bubble gum solidifying to take the place of the destroyed gummi block. "Looks like I will have to get me a new piece then."

"A new piece, what do you mean when you say a new piece," Sora said.

"A new piece of bubble gum of course.

"You said you didn't have anymore."

"When you ran out of the hotel I took the liberty of going to Cid and getting cases of the stuff and sticking it in the cargo hold of the ship."

THUMP

Just then something else hit the side of the gummi ship but did not destroy anything.

"Let's just get out of here already," Sora said and ran to the cockpit.

The gummi ship rose a few meters above the heartless and opened fire. The bullets poured out of the pumpkin gummi ship's eyes as all the heartless were shot down. Then they flew out of Traverse Town into the black abyss of space.


Chapter 3 The Reunion
MrT: What a chapter. I am not talking great wise but lengthwise. The content may be good but if you write the story you will always think it is good so it is a biased opinion. Well then again I didn't really like this chapter myself but I need to know what Y'all as the reviewers think. That is why I need you to review.

Harintintu: WHOO

MrT: What?

Harintintu: I just got done counting how many words are in this chapter.

MrT: You have no life, did you know that.

Harintintu: Aren't you going to ask me how many.

MrT: How many?

Harintintu: 4,442 words.

MrT: Whoa, that many. Are you serious? That would mean that this is my longest chapter thus far. The second largest is only 2,365 words long.

Harintintu: That is a big difference.

MrT: Well I try to keep the chapters a good length but I just couldn't do that on this one. Besides some people might like long chapters.

Harintintu: Of course some people do.

MrT: Well I finally got this chapter done after a lot of work. I said I was going to finish it very soon around the 1st of December 2004. I think I slacked off a bit. Well I took a long break but I am back and have finished this chapter.

Harintintu: I like the devotion and dedication you put into your work, not.

MrT: Well anyways one last thing. You know at the end of the chapter that Pumpkin gummi ship. Well I have actually built it. It took about 130 blocks to build and large amount of spare time. Well read and review.

Harintintu: Onward to Chapter 4.

MrT: Ditto.
