Well, the final chapter is here!
It seems like only yesterday This story was just a funny little idea born out of insomnia... they grow up so fast!
Um, uh... yeah, anyway, hope you enjoy the final chapter of Hero League! If you need me, I'll be over there crying my eyes out.
(If you think I own any of this, you're even crazier than I am.)
Danny and the others walked out of the newly restored Fenton house, relieved to finally be done with Ansem and the Heartless.
"It's good to see the Heartless gone at last." Said Danny. "I was starting to think we'd never get rid of them!"
"Ah, this was nothing!" Said Sonic. "Compared to some other world threatening dangers, this was a piece of cake!"
"Speak for yourself." June grumbled.
"Well, it's all over now." Said Danny. "We can breathe in peace."
But suddenly, hundreds of people swarmed around them, cheering and applauding.
Chet Ubetcha ran up to Danny, followed by the cameraman. "Inviso-Bill!" He said. "How were you able to stop the Heartless hordes and save the world yet again?"
"First of all," Danny replied. "It's Danny Phantom! And second, I wasn't alone. It was a team effort." Danny gave a smile to the others. "We all worked together and stopped the Heartless."
"Yeah!" Sonic interrupted. "Ya see, it was like this: I Was at my buddy Tails' house watching TV, when I saw on the news that there was some trouble here in Amity Park, So I jetted over here at top speed, and when I got here…"
While Sonic continued telling the story to Chet, Hiei decided now was a good time to slip away.
Clover saw him leaving and followed.
"Hiei?" She asked after they were some distance away from the crowd. "Are you leaving?"
Hiei stopped and turned to face her. "I have to. I have to see someone about wiping my record clean."
"Oh… then you meant what you said."
Hiei paused for a moment, then smiled. (He does that a lot anymore.) "There was a time in my life when I would have meant it… but people change." Clover smiled back. "Don't get me wrong, I still think humans are foolish creatures, and I still don't like playing the hero the way the rest of you do. But… there are exceptions to every rule I suppose."
Without another word, Hiei vanished.
Clover smiled to herself and walked back to the others.
After that, things returned to normal. Well, sort of normal anyway.
Jake was given the lecture of his life from Grandpa and Fu, who were severely ticked off that he had drawn so much attention to himself.
June got the same from her grandma and Monroe.
But despite all that, Jake and June started calling each-other, and started to become great friends… or maybe more?
Sonic went back to Station Square, where Tails gladly greeted his friend and treated him to a big Chili-dog lunch.
Clover, after going against orders and steeling W.O.O.H.P. technology, didn't return to Beverly Hills. She doubted that Jerry was the type to have rogue agents blown up or something, but she didn't want to take the chance.
Instead, she bought an apartment in Amity Park and got a job at the mall. Not much, but it was a start.
She sent a letter to Sam and Alex, and got one back saying how mad they were that she left, but that they were also proud of her.
Hiei told Koenma everything that happened. True to his word, Koenma erased Hiei's record and let him go.
Hiei then found Kurama and Yusuke and told them the story- leaving out the parts with Clover, of course –and told them he'd be leaving for awhile.
He returned to Amity Park, but never could talk to Clover, even though he saw her several times.
Sora, with no place to go, was welcomed into the Fenton home.
Danny wasn't sure about giving up his secret identity to yet another person, but he knew Sora could be trusted.
Sora seemed gloomy and depressed at first, being far away from his home and friends, but after awhile the kindness Danny and the Fentons showed him restored him to his normal self.
After all the excitement died down, Danny was finally able to get his life back to normal.
Sam and Tucker were both glad everything was over, and the three of them went back to their usual lives.
So it was, two weeks after the Heartless invaded, and life went on.
The way Danny and Sam sat together on the couch, watching the news, you'd never realize that anything had ever been out of place.
Tucker and Sora sat in the chairs next to the couch and watched with them.
A commercial for a new movie came on, which gave Tucker an idea.
"Hey, let's go see a movie this weekend." He suggested.
"Good idea Tuck." Said Danny. "You up for it Sora?"
"Sure." Sora replied happily. "Sounds great."
"Danny! Sora!" Mattie called from the kitchen. "Dinner will be ready soon! Sam, Tucker, do you want to stay and eat with us?"
"Sure Mrs. Fenton!" Sam replied.
Danny couldn't help but smile. When they were fighting the Heartless, Danny had actually feared that he would never see Sam and Tucker and his family again. But here he was, sitting with them and watching the news.
But then, he saw Chet Ubetcha reporting on the "Heartless incident," as it was called now.
"And so, two weeks later, the world has returned to normal. And it's all thanks to Inviso… I mean, Danny Phantom, and a team of courageous heroes. But even though we're now safe, one question comes to the minds of many: What if they come back?"
That got Danny thinking, and when he looked at Sora he could tell he was thinking about it too.
Another two weeks later, Clover, Jake, June, Sonic, and Hiei all got an invitation from Danny to meet him.
But the weird thing was, he wanted to meet them in a space station!
The space station, known as the Specter Star, was a secret project of Fenton Industries, in an attempt to keep an eye on ghost activity in satellites orbiting earth.
It didn't take much to convince Jack to let Danny use it, once he explained that it would help him in ghost hunting.
Danny, after he, Sora, and Hiei had flown to the station in a special jet called Specter I, looked out the window at the earth below.
"I'm impressed Danny," Hiei said, as he walked up. "Special jets, a space station… seems like a lot to go through for a reunion party."
"It's more than a reunion party Hiei." Danny replied.
"Yes, so you've told me. So, exactly where did Fenton industries get the funding for all this?"
"Oh, you know, investors, government grants…"
"Sam helped pay for it, didn't she?"
"Well… yeah. Let's just say I'm gonna owe the Manson family for a loooong time."
Hiei and Danny turned around when they heard a door open and saw the others walk in. They had flown in on the Specter II.
"Hey Danny!" Jake called. "What's with all the space travel?"
"Yeah," June agreed. "Couldn't we have just met up at one of our houses, like normal teenagers?"
"Maybe because we're not normal teenagers?" Sonic teased.
"I'm glad you all came." Said Danny. "I know this must seem really weird, but there's something we have to talk about.
"When Ansem and the Heartless attacked, none of us would have been able to defeat them alone, but together we won. But the Heartless may return, or there may be other threats just as dangerous, if not more. So I was thinking, what if we always worked together? What if we made a team, a team to fight evil of all kinds? Ghosts, monsters, demons, villains, and anything else that could threaten the world!"
"That all sounds pretty cool," Said Sonic. "But what would that make us? Some kind of Super friends? A Justice League? Oh! How about a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen!"
"Actually, all those are taken. Instead, we'd be more like… a Hero League. So, what do you think?"
The others thought for a moment, but Sonic finally spoke up. "Things have gotten kinda boring ever since Eggman got locked up. It'd be great to have some adventure again, so count me in!"
The others agreed, except for Hiei.
Danny smiled but looked over and saw Sora looking out a window on the other side of the station.
"Sora?" He said. "You okay?"
"Just looking out at the stars." He replied. "It reminds me of traveling in the Gummi ship with Donald and Goofy… and looking at the stars with Riku and Kairi back home…" Sora turned to the others. "I want to thank you all. You've given me something I thought I'd lost… friendship. And I don't know how I can ever repay you." Sora smiled, as did the others. "So… count me in too!"
Danny held out his hand. Jake put his hand on Danny's, June put hers on Jake's, Clover put hers on June's, Sonic put his on Clover's, and Sora put his on Sonic's.
"Come on Hiei," Said Sonic. "We know you like us, so get over here."
Hiei leaned against a wall and looked at the others. "I already told you, I don't do teamwork, nor do I have any desire to." Hiei moved away from the wall. "However… I must admit that you do make a more interesting team than I've ever seen. So, if you ever need me… and you will… give me a call, and I'll do what I can."
Hiei put his hand on the others'.
And so, the Hero League was born.
The End
Well, there you have it. I hope you've enjoyed reading this as much as I've enjoyed writing it!
Oh, and for those of you who were wondering what the Keyblade Omni-Sora used last chapter looked like, PM me, and I'll send a link to a picture I drew of it. It was getting kinda annoying trying to put up links here.
And for one final surprise, I am giving you all a sneak preview of upcoming Hero League stories! (Yes, I will be doing a series.) So enjoy that too!
Danny and the others walked into the abandoned warehouse. Everything was dark.
Suddenly, all the lights turned on revealing several villains.
A screen on the wall lit up, and Vlad Masters' face appeared.
"Welcome Hero League," He said. "I'm glad you could come. Allow me to introduce you to the ones who will end your pathetic existences. Meet… the Villain League!"
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Hiei woke up and found himself strapped to a chair in a dark room.
"Good morning." A sinister voice greeted.
Hiei looked up to see a man in an evil looking mask.
"Who are you?" Hiei asked.
"Allow me to introduce myself," the man replied. "I am known as the Hob-Goblin."
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
A creature even shorter than Hiei walked up.
Danny was puzzled as to who this being was, or how those gauntlets had destroyed the monster so easily.
"Danny," Said Hiei. "Allow me to introduce Vexx."
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
"Tell me Sora," Said Desiree. "What is it you want?"
Sora suddenly found himself on a familiar island. He looked towards the beach and saw someone he had not seen in what seemed an eternity.
"Kairi…?"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"I don't think we can trust him." Said Jake. "What if he turns on us?"
"I know Shadow," Sonic replied. "He may not be the friendliest guy in the world, but he's not evil."
"Yeah, I could tell that when he threw me into that brick wall."
LLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEE
"Stay out of this Faker!" Shadow shouted. "This is my fight! Don't get involved!"
"But Shadow!" Sonic replied. "Think about what you're doing! Think about our friends! Shadow, think about your daughter!"
