I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date… Sorry about the wait!
Sonic 101: It's okay, and glad you saw that! Too bad I have to tear them apart…
ellenh92: Yes ! I mean, how else would he get white hair?
Aeshma-Daeva: Wait! No! Don't take over the world! 0o Poor little Heartless… What am I saying? Who says 'poor' and 'Heartless' in the same sentence?
Um… Butterscotch and banana cream pie for everyone! And… Hmm…Either a Maleficent or Ansem Halloween costume! Yeah… I'm getting desperate…
Chapter IX
Sora really didn't know what to say. How could he? He was in another world, chased by strange creatures, wielding a strange weapon, and someone comes up and asks to join him. Two someones, both with dragon wings. What was he supposed to say?
"Sure, I guess," he said. "Although, I really have no idea what I'm doing." Sabrina shrugged.
"That's okay. Neither do I." Sabrina grinned.
"You know," Jeremy said, joining in, "They say two heads are better than one. So three heads would be better still, right?"
"Sorry to interrupt," Leon said, scowling, "but we need to find the root of the Heartless. They're being controlled by something." Sora nodded, grinning.
"Let's go!"
In the alley, Leon split up with them. The group went off into the Second District, heading for the third. As Jeremy had said, it seemed the most likely place. Sabrina, eventually growing impatient with the running, grabbed the back of Sora's shirt and took off, Jeremy following. Needless to say, they got to the Third District a lot quicker, although Sora yelled about being dangled about twenty feet in the air.
The three landed and looked around. Nothing seemed different.
"What should we-" Sabrina began until something hit them from above. Two somethings, actually.
Sabrina instantly wriggled out of the pile, jumping up with sword drawn. There, on top of Sora and Jeremy, was what looked like a humanish duck and dog. The duck was short with bright white feathers, wearing a blue ensemble, completed with a blue hat with a zipper. The dog wore a mainly green outfit, but with light brown pants and floppy hat.
"Who the hell are you?" Sabrina snarled, sword at the ready. The two looked down to see Sora's out stretched hand, holding the Keyblade.
"The Key!" They both said, ignoring Sabrina, until she stuck her sword tip right next to the duck's left eye.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" She growled again.

Once Sabrina was calmed down and everyone was introduced, they found that Donald and Goofy, the duck and the dog, were also looking for Sora, just like Sabrina and Jeremy. Sabrina and Donald, however, were still wary. It was obvious, since they both glared at one another.
Still, the group stepped on to go search the Third District. They had just reached the middle of the district when the ground under them began to shake. They watched as the tiles that made up the floor began to rise, making a cage that even Sabrina and Jeremy would have trouble getting out of because soldier Heartless appeared on top of each raised block. Finally, the rumbling stopped, and yet more soldiers appeared in front of the group. It wasn't long before they were all beaten. For a minute, nothing happened.
"That was too easy," Sora said, glancing warily at the soldiers on the wall. Then, the floor began to rumble again. From seemingly no where, purple and silver iron gauntlets and boots appeared, flexing, stomping, and spinning while floating. Then, a purple helmet like that with a suit of armor appeared, it, too, floating and spinning, finally, an armored torso appeared, purple with the Heartless sign emblazoned across the chest. It was the giant Heartless called Guard Armor. Sabrina was the only one ready for its first attack, everyone else staring. The right gauntlet shot forward in a fist and Sabrina jumped up to meet it, deflecting it harmlessly away until the left foot rose up above them. This time, Sora jumped up to meet it, leaping higher than he ever had before. He not only deflected, but whirled the Key around, striking the boot again and again while staying in the air a moment longer. Then he jumped backwards, the boot barely deterred and striking down next to him. They all instantly started fighting, Sora and Goofy, who fought with a fighting shield, each battling a boot while Sabrina fought off both gauntlets. Jeremy and Donald, who was also a mage, were combining magics against the torso and head. Slowly, each body part was defeated, blowing up into black smoke, until only the torso and head remained. Both Jeremy and Donald were exhausted, magic used up for the moment, leaving the three fighters. Combined, they swiftly beat the last and strongest part of the Heartless. It finally disappeared, shaking, and blew up into millions of pieces. Both Sabrina and Sora noticed, however, that it did not blow up into black smoke, but it was gone.
The group of five looked around them, the walls no shorter and the Soldiers still waiting.
"Crap," Sabrina said.
"I hoped they'd be gone," Sora agreed. They still had to get out.
"Well," Jeremy said, flexing his wings, "only one thing for it. We'll have to fly."
Jeremy, who was less physically exhausted than Sabrina, flew with Donald and Goofy, while Sabrina and Sora took the rear and covered them. Once high enough, they'd be out of rang for the things, but they had to get there first.
Jeremy shot up, weaving and diving through the Heartless, easily making it through. Sabrina didn't have the energy to follow suit, so she and Sora had to fight off the Heartless as she climbed so that they wouldn't overwhelm her. The last one fell off when they were so high that it burst when it hit the ground. The two grinned and flew forward to catch up with the rest of they're group who were halfway to the First District.
Gosh! Tell me what you guys want when you R&R!
