Chapter 7: Underwhere to Overthere
Sora is now in what looks like a dark place full of dead grass and dark air, but later, Sora opens his eyes and looks around.
"Where am I...? This isn't the Realm of Darkness, is it?" Sora asked, looking around, but realizes something. "Wait a minute! Last thing I remembered was that we were at Merlon's place, but then Ansem, Xemnas, and Dimentio showed up and..." Sora stops talking. "DONALD! GOOFY! MARIO! PEACH! BOWSER! Where are you?!" Sora asked, but no answer. "What happened to them...?" Sora asked, hanging his head down.
"Well, HI!" A voice called.
"Huh?" Sora asked, seeing what looks like a ghoulish figure approaching him. "Who's this? He doesn't look anything like a Heartless..." Sora said to himself.
"Hey, new face! So, first time down here in the Underwhere?" The ghoul asked.
"Under...where...? That sounds a lot like the Underworld. In fact, this place does look a bit like it." Sora said.
"You alright, buddy? I was just joking! People don't arrive here twice!" The ghoul asked.
"Um, this Underwhere, is it like a place people go when..." Sora stops talking.
"Yep! The name should be obvious! It's where people go to when they're games are over! For a guy with no extra lives, you're pretty hilarious! Some people call this place 'World -1'." The ghoul said.
"I thought so..." Sora said, crossing his arms.
"So, how'd your game end, huh? Poison 1-Up? Bad jump? Or did someone..." The ghoul was cut off.
"No! This is a huge misunderstanding! My game didn't end and I don't belong here!" Sora said.
"Hahahaha! Yeah, sure! Not like I've heard THAT before. Denial is always the first step. Maybe you should go talk to Queen Jaydes. She's the scariest thing in the Underwhere and that's sayin' something." The ghoul said.
"Jaydes...? Okay, that sounds a lot like Hades!" Sora said.
"She rules over us Shaydes and she'll tell ya straight...your game is OVER!" The Shayde said.
"Ugh! Fine, I'll find and talk to Jaydes! Then find a way outta here!" Sora said.
(Field Theme: The Underwhere)
(The Underwhere)
Sora starts moving through the Underwhere.
"I really don't like this place... Reminds me a lot of my time in the Underworld, where my strength drained... I gotta find the others..." Sora said, as he keeps going.
Later, Sora arrives at a different part of the Underwhere, where he explores around and keeping a look out for anything.
"Donald! Goofy! Mario! Peach! Bowser! Ugh, this is all Ansem's, Xemnas', and Dimentio's fault! When I find them, it won't be pretty! Right now, I gotta..." Sora was cut off by singing.
"Doo bi doo bi doo!" A voice sang.
"Huh?" Sora asked, looking around and looks up to see what looks like a angel like creature.
"Oooh me... I wonder if I shall meet my most special someone this day? Surely, he is a prince of countenance fair, pining even now to meet me... Quickly, my loving prince! Fly to me!" The angel creature said, looking down at Sora. "Hmm, pray what call hast thou to stare at me so? Thou appearest to be quite charming, but thine hair is something I do not love. Begone now." The angel creature said.
"Um, okay...? Rude, sorta." Sora said, crossing his arms.
Sora keeps going through the Underwhere and later arrives at an area full of purple water, but as he keeps going, he finds someone and it's Mario.
"Mario!" Sora said, making the plumber turn to see the Keybearer and he jumps for joy. "Thank goodness I found ya! Tell me, have you seen Donald, Goofy, Peach, or Bowser?" Sora asked, but Mario shakes his head. "Ugh, guess we still gotta find them. Anyway, I'm going over to find this Queen Jaydes and hopefully get this whole 'game over' thing sorted out." Sora said and Mario nods.
Sora and Mario begin moving through the purple waters to reach the other side and they later arrive at another area, which is a palace, where they see demons in suits and they later find what looks like a woman in purple regal robes.
"Um, excuse me, ma'am..." Sora was cut off.
"What buisness do you have with me? I am Queen Jaydes. Mistress of the Underwhere and ruler of those with ended games!" Jaydes introduced.
"That's Jaydes? She's almost more like Maleficent than Hades..." Sora said.
"Silence, boy. Here, in this place, your sins from your time among the living are weighed. If your sins are light, the bliss of the Overthere await you, but if not...YOU'LL SUFFER FOR ETERNITY AMONG THE GAME-OVERED!" Jaydes said, making the two sweat drop.
"Okay...?" Sora asked.
"Now, let me weigh your sins. Hmm, I sense a strange energy from one of you. Have you brought something strange into the Underwhere by chance?" Jaydes asked.
"Oh, we have this." Sora said, as Mario takes out the stoned Pure Heart.
"What is THIS?! It... It cannot be...! But how... It is badly damaged, yes... You hold a Pure Heart!" Jaydes said.
"Yeah, you seem to know about it." Sora said.
"Who ARE you two to hold a Pure Heart...? What has happened to it?" Jaydes asked, but then, a ring goes off. "Hold on, that's my phone. I have to take this." Jayde said, taking out her phone. "What is it NOW, Grams? I'm very busy." Jaydes said.
"Grams...?" Sora asked, crossing his arms.
"WHAT?! LUVBI IS MISSING?! Oh, mercy... Yes, I understand. I'll see to it. Bye." Jaydes said, hanging up her phone. "Just great... This is just WHAT I need... I'm shorthanded at this point. What am I do to?" Jaydes asked, but gets an idea and turns to Sora and Mario.
"Um, you need us for something...?" Sora asked.
"Yes, boy, perhaps you and this man can help me! I just received a call from the king of the Overthere, Grambi. You see, one of the Nimbis vanished from the Overthere and he wants me to find her. I wish I can help, but I have duties here in the palace and my D-Men are busy." Jaydes said.
"And you want me and Mario to find this Luvbi for you?" Sora asked.
"Indeed. Will you do this?" Jaydes asked.
"Like we're gonna say 'no'." Sora said and Mario nods.
"Thank you. I'm terribly sorry for asking from you, but it would really help." Jaydes said.
"Don't worry about it. We like helping people with their problems." Sora said, grinning.
"Tell me, who are you two?" Jaydes asked.
"Sora, ma'am and this is Mario." Sora introduced and Mario waves.
"Thank you, Sora and Mario. Now, about that Pure Heart you're carrying, might I hold onto it?" Jaydes asked, taking the Pure Heart.
"Whoa, wait. We actually need that." Sora said.
"Don't worry. I just want a look. I'll return it once you bring back Luvbi." Jaydes said.
"Okay, sure. Do you know where we could start?" Sora asked.
"Hmm, I would suggest the River Twygz as a start. Word has it someone has fallen into it. Some said it was a strange fellow in green. It doesn't sound like Luvbi, but maybe you could check there first. Make sure to check thoroughly." Jaydes said.
"Sure thing." Sora said.
Sora and Mario start moving to find Luvbi.
"Man, I thought Jaydes was gonna be mean, but she's actually nice when you get to know her." Sora said and Mario nods.
The two return to River Twygz and they start going down the purple water while avoiding ghastly hands going for the two, who still avoid them and later come across a door and Sora uses his Keyblade to unlock it, taking them to different place. Sora and Mario are now in what looks like a waterway and they work together to move blocks while using switches to raise and lower the waters and later, they find another door and use it to take them somewhere else. Sora and Mario arrive in another part of the Underwhere with orange water and use it to get across and they later find someone in green sulking.
"Is that...?" Sora stops talking.
"Oh, boy...! How'd I end up here? Count Bleck's underlings grabbed me, that I remember... But then... Oooooh, I just wish somebody would help me!" The man said.
"Luigi?! Is that you?" Sora asked, making Luigi jump in fright.
"Huh? Sora? BRO?! OH, I MISSED YOU GUYS!" Luigi cheered.
"Ditto, Luigi, but how'd you end up in the Underwhere?" Sora asked.
"Hmm, I can't say that I know. What IS the Underwhere?" Luigi asked.
"Well, it's a place of ended games really and it looks like Mario and I ended up here after being attacked." Sora said and Mario nods.
"Okay, gotcha. So, my game's over?" Luigi asked.
"Well, we still don't know that. Anyway, we're looking for someone named Luvbi and since you're here, wanna help?" Sora asked.
"Sure thing! I'm loaded with free time!" Luigi said.
(Luigi has joined you!)
"Great to have ya with us, Luigi!" Sora said and Mario nods.
"Well, off we go!" Luigi said.
Sora, Mario, and Luigi begin moving through the Underwhere to find Luvbi and they later arrive at a higher section of the dark place and later, they find someone and it's the same angel creature.
"It's that girl from before..." Sora said.
"Doo bi doo bi doo!" The angel creature sang. "Oh, hurry... Hasten to meee... Sweey priiiince..." The angel creature said, but sees the trio. "Oh, the charming boy with the foulest hair returneth... And he hast brought two aging men of mustache grims! Foulness! Only the charming one can speaketh to me! What dost thou want of me?" The angel creature asked.
"Well, we're trying to find someone named Luvbi, you her?" Sora asked.
"Ha! Thou came hither to find me? Charming as you are, I refuse to consort with men of behaired faces! I await a handsome prince! Hold a moment... You, with the laughable unholy hair upon thine head, dost thou claim to be the prince for whom I pine? Let us confirm thy lineage. Thou should only guess my name, and thou shall be my prince. Speaketh mine name and thou art mine one and only." The angel creature said.
"You're Luvbi." Sora said, crossing his arms and grinning.
"Ha! In thy FACE! My name is not Luv..." Luvbi cuts herself off. "WHAAAAAAT?! How hast thou come by the knowledge of my name? No... Doth that mean... Nay! Nay! Nay, I say! I cannot date thou, as long as thine unholy hair remains! I shall return to Mother!" Luvbi said, leaving.
"C'mon, guys!" Sora said, as they go after her.
"Gee, Sora, why does she hate your hair?" Luigi asked.
"I dunno..." Sora said.
The trio later return to Jaydes' palace and they find Jaydes and Luvbi.
"HA! At last thou appearest, foul hairy creatures and unholy charming one! I refuse you to be my prince until thou removeth that unsightly hair at once!" Luvbi yelled.
"Enough, Luvbi! Mind your manners, young lady! All this happened because you wandered off without permission! Now apologize to these nice men and this nice boy at once!" Jaydes commanded.
"Um, yea... I am sorry...that thou both are hairy and that thine hair is unholy." Luvbi said.
"Hey!" Sora said.
"Luvbi, you had us all worried. Sora, Mario, thank you so much for finding Luvbi for me. Take this as my eternal thanks." Jaydes said, showing the Pure Heart that's restored to its shining purple state.
"The Pure Heart! It's...back to its orginal form again!" Sora said, grinning and Mario jumps for joy. "How'd you do this?" Sora asked.
"I have power over life and death and I used that power to restore the Pure Heart. I know not how you accquired it, but it would appear fate is on your side. Take good care of it." Jaydes said.
"Thanks, Queen Jaydes!" Sora said.
"I have more good news for you. It turns out your games are not over. You were sent here somehow by unknown means while still alive." Jaydes said.
"That's good to hear, but do you know a way outta here?" Sora asked.
"Yes, my power shall return you to where you were." Jaydes said.
"Hooray!" Luigi cheered.
"That's awesome! We'd like to go back." Sora said.
"Very well. Jaydes, Jaydes, JA-JAYDES! GAMEOVERGAMEOVERGAMEOVERGAMEOVERGAMEOVERGAMEOVER... CONTINUE!" Jaydes chanted, as a portal appears, taking Sora, Mario, and Luigi into it and they leave the Underwhere.
Sora, Mario, and Luigi return to Flipside are back on the tower.
"We did it! We're back in Flipside!" Sora cheered and Mario jumps for joy.
"So this is Flipside... Pretty whacky." Luigi said.
"Sora! Mario! You're both alive!" A voice said and they see Tippi.
"Hey, Tip! We're glad to see you too!" Sora said, grinning.
"Sora?! Mario?! But I saw Ansem, Xemnas, and Dimentio end your games... Yet here you are, still alive..." Merlon said.
"Hehehe, we're kinda hard to get rid of." Sora said.
"You know my bro. He always bounces back, like me!" Luigi said.
"And you are?" Tippi asked.
"Oh, this is Luigi." Sora introduced.
"Come, let us return to my house to talk." Merlon said, as they leave the tower.
They later return to Merlon's house and Sora and Mario explain everything in the Underwhere.
"So, that's you were able to return..." Tippi said.
"Yep!" Sora said.
"So, like Sora said, I'm Luigi. I'm my bro's bro!" Luigi said.
"Haven't we met somewhere before?" Tippi asked.
"Hmm, can't say that we have..." Luigi asked.
"Is it possible that you could be our seventh hero?" Tippi asked.
"That'd make sense." Sora said.
"Funny you should say that, Tippi. I just found this interesting bit in the Light Prognosticus... 'The seventh Pure Heart will draw together three people and when light returns, its brilliance will show the way to the final hero'. I do believe this fellow in green may be our final hero." Merlon said.
"Sora, Mario, I knew you'd return... I felt it..." Tippi said.
"Yeah, but Donald, Goofy, Peach, and Bowser..." Sora stops talking, hanging his head down.
"Well, if you came back, so should they, right?" Tippi asked.
"Yeah, but we gotta find that next Heart Pillar first." Sora said and Mario nods.
"Agreed." Tippi said.
Sora, Mario, and Luigi make their way for Flopside to find the seventh Heart Pillar and later, they find the next Heart Pillar and place the purple Pure Heart into the pillar, creating a purple door on the tower of Flipside.
"Well, ready to head for the next world?" Sora asked and Mario nods.
"I wonder what it's gonna be like." Luigi said.
"Who knows, but now there's just one more Pure Heart to find. We need to act quickly and stop Blumiere." Tippi said.
"Blumiere...?" Sora asked confused.
"Oh, um, I mean Count Bleck! I don't know why I said it..." Tippi said.
The trio return to Flipside Tower and go for the purple door and Sora opens it, taking them to the next world.
"Ansem's, Xemnas', and Dimentio's savage attack had separated Sora and Mario from their friends. They reunited with Luigi, yes, but Donald, Goofy, Peach, and Bowser were still missing. Just where were they? What new dangers lie ahead? It was time to venture through the door opened by the seventh Pure Heart. Once again, Sora and Mario saw a nightmarish landscape beyond imagination..." Jiminy wrote in his journal.
The purple door appears in the Underwhere and Sora, Mario, Luigi, and Tippi leave the door before it disappears.
"Wait... This is..." Sora stops talking.
"Oh, no... The Underwhere again?" Luigi asked.
"So, this is the Underwhere... I wonder why the Pure Heart led us here..." Tippi said.
"Well, let's hurry and find it and get outta here." Sora said and Mario nods.
Just then, Shadows, Soldiers, Dusks, Creepers, and Flutterings appear.
"Ugh, great! More Heartless and Nobodies!" Sora said, taking out his Keyblade while Mario prepares to fight.
(Battle Theme: Tension Rising)
The Shadows merge with the ground and crawl all over to attack while the Soldiers deliver spinning attacks, but Sora delivers triple slashes with Kingdom Key followed by Blitz and then casts Thunder while Mario uses Power Jump, only for the Dusks to move around and then attack with their tendrils while the Creepers transform into swords and deliver slashes, but Luigi uses High Jump and deals great damage. The Flutterings fly around while firing dark energy to attack, but Sora aerial slashes with Kingdom Key and then casts Aero to send the enemies into the air while Mario uses Spin Jump, but the Soldiers deliver leaping attacks while the Shadows leap attack with their claws, only for Luigi to use Tornado Jump. Flame Cores and Water Cores appear and the Flame Cores unleash flames to attack while the Water Cores unleash water, but Mario shoots fireballs while Sora casts Blizzard, only for the Heartless to retaliate with unleashing more flames and water, but Luigi uses Green Missile and delivers a head bashing attack while Mario uses Multibounce while Sora delivers slashes with Kingdom Key and they defeat the Heartless.
The trioe continue moving through the Underwhere while passing the River Twygz and they later return to Jaydes' palace, where they find Jaydes.
"Greetings. Welcome to..." Jaydes stops talking, seeing Sora, Mario, and Luigi. "Wait, why have you returned?" Jaydes asked.
"You're Queen Jaydes? My name is Tippi." Tippi introduced.
"We're here to find the next Pure Heart that's somewhere in this world." Sora said.
"What?! You're collecting Pure Hearts?! It can't be, but... You must be the heroes mentioned in the Prognosticus! Could you truly be the ones?" Jaydes asked.
"Does that mean you have a Pure Heart for us, Queen Jaydes?" Tippi asked.
"The location of the Pure Heart is a matter of utmost secrecy. If you wish to know, you'll have to talk to Grambi, King of the Overthere." Jaydes said.
"MOTHER!" A voice called, revealing Luvbi. "My things are packed and checked thrice! I am ready to return to the Overthere!" Luvbi said and sees Sora, Mario, and Luigi. "Oh, me! Thou returnest? Did thy game truly end?" Luvbi asked.
"You wish." Sora said, crossing his arms.
"An idea strikes! Could you fine heroes take Luvbi back to the Overthere?" Jaydes asked.
"Take her back? Why ever would you have us to do a thing like that?" Tippi asked.
"A monster that was once held beneath here was freed by an unknown force. Once freed from its prison, it began to roam around freely. I would never send my daughter alone with a beast on the loose. Take her back and I shall open the way to the Overthere for you. I shall alert Grambi you are on your way to ask him for the Pure Heart. What say you?" Jaydes asked.
"Okay, Jaydes, we'll help." Sora said and Mario nods.
"Thank you. My D-Men and I will be busy to contain any damage." Jaydes said, opening a door. "Go through this door and you'll be on your way to the Overthere. Make sure Luvbi arrives safely in the care of Grams, I mean...Grambi." Jaydes said.
"Avert thine eyes whilst we climb, lest thou succumbeth to my cuteness." Luvbi said.
"Oh, please..." Sora said, rolling his eyes.
"Neither of them are superficial." Tippi said.
"Oh, me. A sharpened tongue. Art thou jealous? I still pine a prince, as charming as Sora is, but does thou pine for the red hairy one or the hairy green one?" Luvbi asked.
"Wh-What?" Tippi asked.
"Hey, if you're done picking on Tippi, can we get a move on?" Sora asked.
"Very well, my unholy haired charming. Let us away." Luvbi said, as they go through the door.
(Underwhere Road)
Sora, Mario, Luigi, Tippi, and Luvbi arrive at the Underwhere Road.
"At long last, we find it... Herein lies the way out of the Underwhere. This is Underwhere Road." Luvbi said.
"So, once we climb up, we'll finally get to the Overthere?" Sora asked.
"Yea, verily. Ugh, my heart weepeth to return to the Overthere without meeting mine one true love. Pray, speakest to me, Tippi. Believest thou in the idea of a soul mate?" Luvbi asked.
"Luvbi..." Sora warned.
"I shall mark that as 'undecided'." Luvbi said.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Tippi asked.
"Hee hee! How simple to tweak thy chain! Onward! Catchest me if thou canst!" Luvbi said, moving.
"That girl is such a walking mood swing." Sora said, crossing his arms.
"I concur. She's very unstable." Tippi said.
They begin moving through Underwhere Road and later come across a very dark area, but Sora and Mario use fire to light torches to light the way while following Luvbi and avoiding ghastly hands and later, they find what looks like a door.
"This is no ordinary door..." Tippi said.
"Halt! What's this? Travlers have come?" A voice asked.
"Who said that?" Luigi asked, looking around.
"In front of you." The voice said, revealing to be the door with a face. "Queen Jaydes demands I guard this door. I'm Doorguy the First. Lotsa monsters around here. Lotsa monsters. Gotta do routine checks. Gotta make sure you're trustworthy. I'm gonna ask you some questions. Get them all right and we're done here." Doorguy One said.
"Bring it on!" Sora said.
"I like your confidence, kid! Question one; D-Man A goes to the store and buys an equal number of tomatoes and eggplants. Eggplants cost 7 coins apiece and tomatoes cost 10 coins apiece. D-Man A has 50 coins when he goes into the store. He comes out with 5 coins. Facts! Now, who is the most powerful ruler in the Underwhere?" Doorguy One asked.
"Queen Jaydes!" Sora answered.
"Right-o! Question 2; Shayde B buys 667 pens for 13 coins each and buys 108 notebooks for 42 coins each. He needs more money, so he takes out 3,756 coins from the bank and spends them all. Facts! Now, what's my name?" Doorguy One asked.
"Doorguy the First!" Sora answered.
"Right-o! Last question; Panda A and Panda B go to Apple Mountain for a day of apple picking. There are 120 apple trees on the mountain and each has a 20-apple yield. A takes 10 seconds to pick each apple while B takes 20 seconds to pick each apple. Facts! Now, how many times have I said 'apple'?" Doorguy One asked.
"Six times." Sora answered.
"Right-o! You folks are alright. Head on through." Doorguy One said.
Sora opens the door, taking them to the next part of Underwhere Road, but they feel a quake going on.
"What was that?" Luigi asked.
"It sounded it like it came from over there." Tippi said, looking at a small door guarded by D-Men.
"Let's go see." Sora said and Mario nods.
They approach the door, but the D-Men block the way.
"Hey, what do ya want? Look, we'd love to chat and all, but we're crunch-time busy." One of the D-Men said.
"Look, we're on our way to the Overthere and we're trying to find our way through." Sora said.
"Well, there's a door at the end of the room, but we're not letting in or out. We gotta guard this door because we trapped two prisoners in here. One of them is a raging beast while the other just kept using magic on us in a tantrum. Until further notice, no one's leaving this room." The second D-Man said.
"Then let us handle 'em." Sora said and Mario nods.
"Wait, what?" The third D-Man asked.
"You mean you're gonna face them by yourselves?" The first D-Man asked.
"Yep." Luigi said.
"You guys're nuts! Your games are gonna end if you enter there! No reason to argue. If you wanna volunteer, be my guest. Your funeral." The first D-Man said.
Sora, Mario, and Luigi enter the door, taking them to a cell area, where they find Bowser and Donald.
"Where are we?! Why did those jerks in shades jump at me?! Why's everything dark?! Peach isn't here, I'm stuck with Duck, and I'm HUNGRY!" Bowser said.
"Look, ya big palooka, I'm not exactly as happy being in here with YOU either! I have to get outta here to find Sora, Goofy, Mario, and Peach! You can just rot here for all I care!" Donald yelled, crossing his arms.
"Why you...! I could cook ya and eat ya! Not like your magic's gonna help!" Bowser yelled back.
"Wanna bet?!" Donald asked, taking out his staff.
"Donald! Bowser!" Sora called.
"Huh?" Donald asked, as he sees Sora, Mario, Luigi, and Tippi. "Sora! Mario! Tippi! And Luigi?! You're here too?" Donald asked.
"What?! It's you guys!" Bowser said.
"Thank goodness. We were looking all for you." Tippi said.
"I was looking too, but those bozos trapped me in here! Where's Goofy and Princess Peach?" Donald asked.
"We still haven't found them yet." Sora said.
"So, she's not here... I'm not liking this.. Wait a sec! I know your plan! You're trying to ruin what Peach and I got goin' on!" Bowser yelled.
"Wait, what?" Sora asked.
"Are you THIS dumb?! Why would we try to ruin what would NEVER happen to begin with?! Are you hearing yourself?!" Donald demanded, jumping up and down.
"Shut it! I'll stomp the truth outta you!" Bowser yelled.
"Here we go again..." Sora said, taking out his Keyblade.
"Oh, no..." Luigi said.
(Boss Theme: Vs. Bowser)
Bowser breathes fire at the group, who dodge out of the way and Sora casts Blizzard while Donald casts Water, only for Bowser to try and charge at the two, but Mario uses Cludge to deliver a hammer strike while Luigi uses Soft Stomp to weaken the Koopa King, but Bowser delivers a spinning shell strike to get the four, only for Donald to cast Aero to send Bowser to the air, allowing Sora to aerial slash with his Keyblade and then casts Thunder. Bowser retaliates with a bombing attack, but Mario uses Power Bounce and jumps on the Koopa King many times while Luigi uses Tornado Jump, only for Bowser to swipe at the group with his claws and then shoots fireballs, but Donald casts Fire followed by casting Blizzard while Sora delivers four slashes with his Keyblade. Bowser tries to bite at the four, only for Luigi to unleash lightning to strike while Mario shoots fireballs, but Bowser breathes more fire and then delivers another spinning shell strike, only for Donald to cast Water while Sora uses Blitz to deal damage to the Koopa King and they finish off Bowser.
"Did THAT knock some sense into you?!" Donald demanded.
"ARGH! WHY do I always LOSE?! I'll get up every time and beat you 'til you're in the Underwhere!" Bowser said.
"We ARE in the Underwhere, you lunk-head!" Sora said and Mario nods.
"What?! My game ain't over!" Bowser yelled.
"No one's game is over! We were sent here by Ansem, Xemnas, and Dimentio!" Donald yelled, jumping up and down.
"Yeah and we all got separated, including Goofy and Peach, who we're trying to find!" Sora said.
"So, Peach is lost somewhere?" Bowser asked, making Mario face palm.
"If you're done wastin' time attacking us, can we go now please?" Donald asked.
"Glad to have you back, Donald." Sora said, grinning.
"Hey, what about me?" Bowser asked.
"No one likes you." Donald said, making Sora, Mario, and Luigi chuckle.
"Anyway, let's continue. We have to hurry to the Overthere." Tippi said and they nod.
Sora, Mario, Donald, Bowser, and Luigi leave the cell and head for the door, taking them to another dark room, but Sora, Mario, Donald, and Bowser use their fire to light the way and keep going up while dealing with Heartless and Nobodies, as well as Boos and Dry Bones and they later come across another area, where they find another door.
"Another door." Sora said.
"It must be another Doorguy." Tippi said.
"Halt! What's this? Travelers?" A voice asked, as the door reveals its face.
"You must be Doorguy the Second." Sora said.
"Correct, kid! Queen Jaydes demand I guard the door. Gotta run security check, folks." Doorguy Two said.
"You're gonna ask us some questions?" Luigi asked.
"That's right. Answer them correctly and you'll pass." Doorguy Two said, as a screen appears, as red, blue, and yellow triangles, circles, and squares appear. "Now, how many red objects were there?" Doorguy Two asked.
"Three." Sora answered.
"You'll know if you're right or wrong soon. Okay, now watch this." Doorguy Two said, as the colored shapes appear again. "Now, how many tirangles were there?" Doorguy Two asked.
"Two." Sora answered.
"Interesting... Now, watch closely." Doorguy Two said, as the colored shapes appear again. "Now, what color were the moving objects?" Doorguy Two asked.
"Blue." Sora answered.
"Okay, now next question; what number question is this?" Doorguy Two asked.
"Four." Sora answered.
"Last question, look closely." Doorguy Two said, as the colored shapes appear. "What shape was most plentiful?" Doorguy Two asked.
"Triangle." Sora said.
"Okay, here are the results: Perfect! I'm impressed! You must have young brain ages. With brains that young, you oughta be good people. Go right ahead." Doorguy Two said.
The group go for the next room of the Underwhere and they find a pink door, where they enter a room with three elder women and decides to talk to one of them.
"Hello, we are the ancient sister three. Jayde's Underwhere crones. Where are you headed to, young people?" One of the sisters asked.
"We're going to the Overthere to seek an auidence with Grambi to get a Pure Heart." Sora said and Mario nods.
"Hmm, sounds serious, but we have a problem of our own." The second sister said.
"Yesss, we lent a book to a D-Man and we need it returned." The third sister said.
"Would you kindly find him and bring the book back?" The first sister asked.
"Sure." Sora said.
"Whatever gets us to the Overthere faster." Donald said.
"Excellent. We'll transport you to him right now." The first sister said, as they send the five out.
They arrive at a room, where they find a D-Man with a book.
"Whoa, where'd you come from?" The D-Man asked.
"We need you to give the book you have back." Luigi said.
"Oh, the one I borrowed from the hags. Okay, I was done with it anyway." The D-Man said, giving them the book.
The group return to the room and give the sisters the book.
"Many thanksss, young onesss." The second sister said.
"Yesss, and if you ssseek to reach the Overthere, there isss a door beyond here. Ussse it and you'll be able to get to the Overthere." The third sister said.
"Bessst of luck on your Pure Heart hunt, ssssonniesss." The first sister said.
The group leave the room and find the next door, taking them outside and begin moving while dodging rolling spiked rocks and they later reach the end and find another door.
"Looks like another door that won't open." Donald said.
"It's better not be one of those Doorguys." Bowser said.
"Halt! What's this? Travlers?" A voice asked, as the door reveals its face.
"Lemme guess, you're Doorguy the Third?" Sora asked.
"That's right and Queen..." Doorguy Three was cut off.
"We get it, Jaydes asked you to guard the door for security checks." Donald said, crossing his arms.
"Okay, Mister Know-It-All, let's cut to the chase. UNDERCHOMP!" Doorguy Three said, as a blue, red, and yellow Chain Chomp appears.
"So, we're actually gonna fight THAT?" Luigi asked.
"Yep, beat it and you'll pass." Doorguy Three said.
"This is gonna be like fighting Cerberus. This'll be fun." Sora said.
"Perhaps an alternative is called for." A voice said, as darkness destroys the Underchomp.
"What?!" Luigi asked shocked.
"Who did that?" Tippi asked, as Ansem appears.
"NOW what do you want?" Sora asked.
"It seems as I was right to see if you were still alive. How are you enjoying your time in the land of ended games?" Ansem asked.
"At least we survived!" Donald yelled, taking out his staff.
"And we're gonna give you nice a pounding for sending us here!" Bowser yelled.
"Very well. Let us see how long you can last until your game is over!" Ansem said.
(Boss Theme: Forze del Male)
Ansem unleashes lasers of darkness to attack the five, who dodge out of the way and Sora aerial slashes at the Heartless with Kingdom Key followed by two aerial somersault slashes and then casts Thunder while Mario shoots fireballs, only for Ansem to teleport away and then reappears and unleashes waves of darkness and then creates a tracking shadow to create a dark claw, but Donald casts Fire followed by casting Water while Luigi uses Green Missiles. Ansem retaliates with creating a barrier of lasers and charges to attack the five, only for Bowser to deliver a spinning claw strike while Mario uses Power Bounce and jumps on the Heartless many times, but Ansem creates a mine of dark crystals that explode and then unleashes more lasers of darkness. Donald casts Blizzard while Luigi uses Poison Stomp and tries to poison the Heartless, who retaliates with unleashing discs of darkness and then tries to pull in everyone while charging himself with darkness and unleashes a powerful dark explosion, only for Sora to cast Cure and then aerial slashes with Kingdom Key and then enters Second Form and uses Sonic Blade. Ansem teleports away and then creates another tracking shadow to try and get the five, who avoid the tracking shadow, but Ansem creates another laser barrier and charges at the five to attack, but Mario counters with using Barry and delivers a counterstrike while Luigi unleashes lightning while Donald casts Aero. Ansem unleashes more lasers of darkness and then charges all over to get the five, who avoid the charge and Bowser shoots fireballs while Sora aerial slashes with Kingdom Key followed by an aerial spin attack and then delivers a slamming light strike, dealing damage to the Heartless.
Ansem creates two tracking shadows to get the five, who dodge out of the way, only for Ansem to create orbs of shadow around him and sends them to attack to deal damage, but Donald casts Cure and then casts Thunder while Luigi uses Super Jump, only for Ansem to teleport away and then creates more dark lasers and then unleashes mines of dark crystals, but Bowser breathes fire while Mario shoots fireballs. Ansem manages to trap both Mario and Bowser in dark spheres and then drains their health to deal damage, but Sora casts Cure on the two and then triple aerial slashes with Kingdom Key followed by locking on and uses Ragnarok and fires magic blasts at the Heartless, who retaliates with unleashing dark discs at the five. Donald casts Water to retaliate while Bowser uses Bowser Bomb, only for Ansem to create more mines of dark crystals and then sucks up the five while charging himself with darkness and unleashes a dark explosion, but Luigi uses Green Missile while Mario uses Mario Finale and unleashes two dragon fireballs to deal burning damage, but Ansem retaliates with unleashing shadow orbs. Sora counters and vertical slashes with Kingdom Key followed by two cross slashes and then creates a light burst to deal damage to the Heartless while Donald casts Thunder while Luigi unleashes lightning, but Ansem counters with unleashing dark discs, only for Mario to use Power Jump while Bowser uses Shell Spin. Ansem teleports away and reappears and then tries to suck the five up while charging darkness to unleash another dark explosion, only for Donald to cast Aero to send the Heartless in the air, allowing Mario to use Spin Jump while Sora delivers five aerial slashes with Kingdom Key followed by a small burst of light.
Sora and Mario manage to send Ansem back, only for Ansem to recover and unleashes more dark lasers, but the two dodge them and try to attack, but Ansem levitates to get away.
"Hmph, despite the odds, you continue to defy the prophecy when it's coming true." Ansem said.
"We told you, we're gonna stop that prophecy from happening!" Sora yelled.
"We won't let Count Bleck have his way. I can't let him have his way..." Tippi said.
"But what will collecting the Pure Hearts do? The Void is growing ever stronger and no one, not even Count Bleck himself, can stop it. You might be able to find the final Pure Heart, but your efforts were always in vain in the end." Ansem said.
"Wanna bet?!" Donald demanded.
"Come down here and we'll show ya more!" Bowser yelled.
"Instead of dealing with me, shouldn't you be more worried about the Overthere? If I'm not mistaken, this world's beast has escaped its prison and now, what will become of the Overthere and Grambi himself?" Ansem asked, disappearing in his dark corridor.
"F-Father! Nay! We shan't idleth here any further! We HAVE to maketh haste back to the Overthere!" Luvbi said.
"Hey, Doorguy, ya gotta let us through!" Sora said.
"Well... You were supposed to defeat the Underchomp, but that guy was the one, who defeated it, but you fought him off... You know what, this is a brain-racker. Tell you what, since you guys fought the one, who defeated the Underchomp, I'll let you pass. Just don't tell Queen Jaydes." Doorguy Three said.
"Thanks." Donald said.
"Let's get a move on!" Sora said and Mario nods.
The five go through the door and they later find a light, leading to the exit of the Underwhere, so they hurry and head for the next area.
(Field Theme: The Overthere)
(Overthere Stair)
Sora, Mario, Donald, Bowser, Luigi, Tippi, and Luvbi leave the Underwhere and are now in what looks like the sky full of clouds.
"Ah, me, blue skies again!" Luvbi said.
"Finally, outta that Underwhere!" Sora said.
"It's worse than the Underworld." Donald said.
"Great, so we have to climb on up and reach the Overthere!" Luigi said and Mario nods.
"But what about Peach and Goofy?" Tippi asked.
"We're still gonna find 'em. Maybe they're in the Overthere." Sora said and Mario nods.
"Pray, tell me! Is this Peach the lady friend of Mario?" Luvbi asked.
"Well... Um..." Tippi was cut off.
"Hey! I'M her husband!" Bowser yelled.
"That's debatable." Sora said, making Mario and Luigi chuckle.
"Well, what about you and Kairi, huh?" Donald asked, crossing his arms.
"Not now, Donald!" Sora said.
"Oh, so Sora has a lady friend of his own... Or mayhaps this yon Kairi is his one-sided crush..." Luvbi said.
"Stop it!" Sora said, has his face turns red.
"Tee hee, thou face burns with flustered red! Enough idle banter. I shall head onward. Keepest up if thou canst!" Luvbi said, flying away.
"Well, get ready, since we got LONG climb ahead of us." Donald said and they nod.
The five begin climbing up the stair of clouds while dealing with flying Heartless, such as Air Soldiers and Wyverns and during their climb of clouds, they head for the next part of the Overthere Stair and keep climbing up the stairs of clouds and later, they come across an area with trees of red apples, but they see a really big figure.
"Get a load of those red apples." Sora said.
"But what's that big thing?" Bowser said.
"Wait a minute..." Donald stops talking, looking at the big figure, revealing to be Goofy. "Goofy?!" Donald asked shocked.
"Wait, that's Goofy! He's gotten so big!" Luigi said.
"Goofy!" Sora said.
"Fellas, is that you?" Goofy asked, looking down.
"Yeah, it's us, but how'd you get so big?" Sora asked.
"Gawrsh, I dunno. I was sent here, then I found this apple and ate it." Goofy said.
"Thou hath lacketh common sense! Thou hath eaten the red fruit!" Luvbi said.
"Wait, what?" Bowser asked.
"The Overthere teems with trees of magical fruit. If thou eats a magic fruit, thou shalt go under strangeth changes. It would appear that thine friend Goofy hath eaten a fruit that made him groweth." Luvbi said.
"Oh, boy... Can we make him back to his own size?" Donald asked.
"Perhaps. Thou shalt have to findeth the Taboo Fruit." Luvbi said.
"Don't worry, Goofy. We'll find a way to help you." Sora said and Mario nods.
"Thanks, fellers!" Goofy said.
The five keep moving through the Overthere Stair and they later find another area with another tree and they also find someone and it's Peach, who is sleeping with a yellow apple.
"Hey, is that..." Luigi stops talking.
"Peach!" Sora said.
"Why's she sleeping?" Donald asked.
"This is getting annoying... WAKE UP!" Bowser shouted, but Peach keeps sleeping.
"Ah, so this is thine other friend, Princess Peach... And she hath eaten the golden fruit. She lacketh common sense like thine friend, Goofy." Luvbi said.
"Hey, instead of insulting my friends, you mind helping us out here?" Sora asked.
"Well, the golden fruit's effect maketh one satisfied that they go into a deep sleep. As in, the kind thou dost not wake from for a hundred years." Luvbi said.
"Well, that's lovely!" Donald said.
"Yeah! I'm a patient Koopa, but not THAT patient!" Bowser said.
"You said there's a Taboo Fruit! Tell us where to find it so we can help Goofy and Peach!" Sora said.
"Pray, thou shalt figure that out on thine own!" Luvbi yelled.
"What a brat!" Donald said, crossing his arms.
"Ugh, we'd better find those Taboo Fruits and now!" Sora said and they nod.
"This is gonna be a long search!" Luigi said.
The five begin searching the Overthere Stair to find the Taboo Fruit and later arrive at an area with a tree that has black apples.
"These apples sure look unusual..." Donald said.
"Are they those Tabbo Fruit things?" Bowser asked.
"Maybe... We gotta try any fruit." Sora said, taking two black apples.
"Great, let's get these over to Goofy and Peach." Luigi said and they nod.
The five head their way back to find Goofy and they later find him still big.
"Goofy, we found a fruit that might help!" Sora said, giving Goofy the black fruit.
"Thanks, Sora!" Goofy said, eating the black apple and then, he starts shrinking back to his normal size. "That felt great, although it kinda tasted a bit bad..." Goofy said.
"That should teach you not to eat without thinking!" Donald yelled.
"I was hungry is all." Goofy said.
"Well, we're glad you're back with us!" Luigi said.
"Oh, heya, Luigi! Well, I'm back, so what now?" Goofy asked.
"Now we gotta help Princess Peach. She's in a deep sleep and needs to wake up." Tippi said.
"Well, okay! Let's go find her!" Goofy said.
The six make their way back to Peach, who is still sleeping and Mario gives the second Taboo Fruit and then Peach starts to wake up.
"GROSS!" Peach yelled.
"Peach, are you okay?" Sora asked.
"Huh? Sora! Mario! Donald! Goofy! Bowser! Luigi?! You're all here!" Peach said.
"Yeah, the seven of us together!" Sora said and Mario nods.
"But how did I get here?" Peach asked.
"Ansem, Xemnas, and Dimentio sent you and Goofy here, but now we gotta hurry to the Overthere to find that last Pure Heart." Donald said.
"So, thou hath helped thine other friends?" Luvbi asked.
"Oh, hello! Are you their new friend?" Peach asked.
"It's nice to meet ya, Luvbi." Goofy said.
"I shall head onward! Dawdleth not! Heareth me, princess of silly peaches and name of goofiness?" Luvbi asked, flying away.
"Gawrsh, did we say somethin' bad to her?" Goofy asked.
"Never mind her. She's a flying mood swing." Sora said and Mario nods.
"Well, I'm sorry for making you all worry about me. I'll make up for the time lost." Peach said.
"Me too!" Goofy said.
"To the Overthere!" Sora said and they nod.
The seven make their way up the Overthere Stair and after much climbing, they manage to reach higher and higher and they come across what looks like a very big cloud, so they jump on it, taking them very high and they reach the higher part of the Overthere Stair and they continue moving until they reach the end of the stair of clouds and find a gate leading to the Overthere itself.
(The Overthere)
The seven arrive at the Overthere and watch in awe.
"Wow, THIS is the Overthere?" Donald asked.
"It's just like the Realm of the Gods in Olympus." Goofy said.
"I'll say." Sora said.
"Soon we shall meet with my father, Grambi. Be thou on thy best behavior." Luvbi said.
"Speak for yourself, twerp!" Bowser retored.
"Grambi is really your father?" Tippi asked.
"And he's the ruler of the Overthere, so that kinda makes you a princess, right?" Sora asked.
"Thou art correct. Grambi is my father and Jaydes is my mother." Luvbi said.
"The ruler of both above and below as parents...?" Luigi asked.
"Pray, listen... My father hath never left my bedside once when I fell ill. They are pretty overprotective at times and I do grow annoyed of it, but mayhaps it is mine fault I am so cute." Luvbi said.
"Uh-huh. So, can we go meet Grambi and ask about that Pure Heart?" Sora asked.
The group begin moving through the Overthere, but before they could go any further, they come across what look like skeletal monsters with spears.
"Hold it right there! No one enters the Overthere by order of Bonechill!" One of the skeletal monsters said.
"What?" Goofy asked.
"What's going on?" Peach asked.
"Look alive, guys! They're coming!" Sora said.
The skeletal monsters begin attacking with their spears, but Sora counters and delivers four slashes with Kingdom Key followed by a spin slash and then casts Blizzard while Mario uses Boomer to make a bomb and it explodes, but the skeletal monsters retaliate with throwing their spears while flying skeletal monsters throw their heads to attack, only for Peach to use her parasol to block and then uses Peach Blossom while Donald casts Thunder. The skeletal monsters keep attacking with their spears, but Goofy uses Charge while Bowser uses Whirling Fortress, only for the flying skeletal monsters to use their heads to attack, but Luigi uses Super Jump to deal damage, but the skeletal monsters try to attack back, only for Sora to cast Fire and they defeat the enemies.
"These guys sure didn't look like Heartless." Luigi said.
"I think they appear more to be from the Underwhere." Tippi said and Mario nods.
"I dunno what's goin' on, but I think the Overthere could be trouble." Sora said.
"Just like what Ansem said!" Donald said.
The group continue moving through the Overthere and they use a cloud to help them get higher up and they find what looks like a Nimbi under attack by the same skeletal monsters.
"HELP!" The Nimbi cried.
"Hahahaha! What's da matter?" One of the skeletal monsters taunted.
"Fight back, ya big wimp, ya!" The second skeletal monster said.
"Leave him alone!" Sora yelled, taking out his Keyblade.
"Well, look at that! Friends of the Nimbis! That means you're enemies of US!" The first skeletal monster said.
The skeletal monsters begin to attack, but Sora and Mario manage to defeat them easily.
"Are ya okay, fella?" Goofy asked.
"Th-Thou hast saved my life! I know not who thou art, but I am in thine debt." The Nimbi said.
"Pray, speak! What hast happened hither?" Luvbi asked.
"A pox... Yon fell beasts hath been flooding into the Overthere as of late. They seek the Pure Heart! They need it for something most foul! With them, a strange figure wearing only a coat of blackness." The Nimbi said.
"Yon beasts seek the Pure Heart as well?! Foulness!" Luvbi said.
"But we're the ones, who are looking for it." Peach said.
"Only Father knoweth the Pure Heart's resting place! Father is in danger!" Luvbi said.
"I yearn to hide. Please, seekest Grambi before they do." The Nimbi said.
"C'mon! We better hurry before they find Grambi!" Luigi said and they nod.
The seven continue moving through the Overthere while dealing more skeletal monsters in their way, but they come across two Nimbis, but they're frozen in ice.
"How did this happen?" Bowser asked.
"I dunno, but we gotta help them." Donald said.
"Right." Sora said, as he, Mario, Donald, and Bowser use their fire to break the ice, freeing the Nimbis.
"Thank thee! Thou hast saved us both!" One of the Nimbis said.
"There is a terrible monster leading these awful hordes. Prithee, thou should save the other Nimbis." The second Nimbi said.
The group keep moving through the Overthere and use a lift to help them get upward and they arrive at a shrine, where they find more frozen Nimbis, so Sora, Mario, Donald, and Bowser use their fire to free them and then free the last Nimbi, who appears bald and wearinf a white robe.
"Thank thee for thine help. My given name is Whibbi! I owe thee for that one! Thou art super!" Whibbi said.
"Whibbi, speakest of my father! How doth he fare?" Luvbi asked.
"Forgive me, Luvbi... I could not stop yon beasts from entering Grambi's shrine. The fiends wrecked the bridge once they crossed it... Help cannot reacheth him." Whibbi said.
"Sheesh, all I hear is whine, whine, whine!" Bowser said.
"Bowser!" Peach berated, making the Koopa King gulp.
"C'mon, if the bridge got broken, can't we fix it back up?" Goofy asked.
"Mayhap... To rebuild the bridge, thou must find Rebbi, Blubi, and Yebbi and obtain their orbs." Whibbi said.
"And if we have them all, we can fix the bridge, right?" Sora asked.
"Thou art correct. Thou must hurry. I feareth time is running out for Grambi..." Whibbi said.
"Let's go get those orbs and quickly." Tippi said and Mario nods.
The seven begin moving again to find Rebbi, Blubi, and Yebbi and later head for the next part of the Overthere and use the clouds to go up and they find another frozen Nimbi, who is wearing blue robes, so Sora, Mario, Donald, and Bowser free him from the ice.
"Thank thee! It is as though thou hast brought me back to life! Hold a moment... What am I doing hither? WHO AMI I?! WHERE AM I?!" The Nimbi asked.
"Oh, no... He can't remember anything..." Luigi said.
"Ah, phooey..." Donald said.
"C'mon, you have to remember who you are." Sora said.
"Hold a moment...! I am... I am...Blubi!" Blubi said.
"Finally thou snappest out of it, eh, Dumbi?" Luvbi asked.
"Listen, Blubi, we're in a hurry to get to Grambi, so would you mind giving us your blue orb?" Sora asked.
"Oh, yes, indeed. Fell beasts have attacked from the Underwhere and they had help from a stranger in a black robe. Take this orb and helpeth Grambi!" Blubi said, giving them the blue orb.
"I wonder who the one in the black coat is? Xehanort or Xemnas?" Goofy asked.
"We're gonna find out! Right now, we need to help the Nimbis how we can." Peach said and Mario nods.
The seven continue searching for Rebbi and Yebbi and find a door, taking them to another place, where they find another Nimbi in red robes fighting against the skeletal monsters.
"Taketh THAT!" The Nimbi said, delivering an attack, but more skeletal monsters appear. "They appear without cease..." The Nimbi said.
"Need some help?" Sora asked, as they confront the skeletal monsters.
"Ah-ha! Help hath arrived! Finish them off!" The Nimbi said.
The skeletal monsters attack the group, but Sora delivers slashes with his Keyblade while Mario uses Multibounce while Donald casts Blizzard while Peach attacks with her parasol while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado while Bowser shoots fireballs while Luigi uses Sleep Stomp, but the skeletal monsters retaliate with attacking with their spears, only for Mario to use Power Jump while Sora casts Thunder and they defeat the skeletal monsters.
"Piece of cake!" Sora said, grinning.
"Well done! The foul beasts are no more! I am Rebbi! I owe thee thanks!" Rebbi said.
"Rebbi, Grambi is trouble and needs help." Peach said.
"Can you give us your red orb so we can help him?" Goofy asked.
"These orbs are not things to give away lightly! Thou hath saveth me and I owe thee a big debt." Rebbi said, giving them the red orb.
"Thanks." Luigi said.
"I shalt go and gather those, who can defend our realm." Rebbi said, leaving.
"Only one more to go." Donald said.
The seven keep moving while fighting off more skeletal monsters and they later find a shrine with a door and Sora knocks on it.
"Are the fell beasts gone? Is it safe for me to come out thither? Who art thou?" A voice asked.
"We're monsters." Donald said.
"Thou LIEST! No monster wouldst admit to being a monster!" The voice said.
"Then you can come out and meet us!" Luigi said.
"Hmm, mayhap thou art right." The voice said and coming out is another Nimbi wearing yellow robes. "Hello to thee! I am Yebbi! Thou came to rescue me?" Yebbi asked.
"Yes and now we gotta help Grambi." Peach said.
"Give us that yellow orb, so we can get moving!" Bowser said.
"Otherwise, we'll tell everyone how you spent hiding in there!" Donald said.
"Tee hee, I liketh thine style, Donald." Luvbi said
"Oh, prithee, thou must not tell! I shall do all thou asket!" Yebbi said, giving the yellow orb.
"Great, we got all the three orbs!" Tippi said.
"Now we can repair that bridge!" Sora said and Mario nods.
The seven make their way to find the bridge and they later arrive at the next area, where they find a pedestal, so they place the red, blue, and yellow orbs on the pedestal, making what looks like a rainbow bridge appear and they start crossing it, taking them to the other side and they head for the next area of the Overthere, but they find someone and it's Xemnas.
"Xemnas!" Sora yelled.
"So, what Ansem informed was true, you have survived the attack, survived the Underwhere, arrived in the Overthere, and made it this far. I commend you heroes, but you still have not found the Pure Heart." Xemnas said.
"Pray, shuttest thy trap, foul one! If thou have come for my father, I will..." Luvbi was cut off.
"Hehehehe... I believe you are in no position to make idle threats, little one. Perhaps, you should be dealing with them?" Xemnas asked, as the skeletal monsters appear.
"There's so many!" Peach said.
"Oh, c'mon! I shoulda brought my Koopa army for this." Bowser said.
"I didn't know there were so many left..." Tippi said.
"CALM THY MIND!" A voice said, as they see Rebbi.
"Rebbi!" Donald said.
"I shall handle them! These fiends shall reap the grim harvest of Nimbi fury! The hour is nigh, my Nimbi friends! ART THOU READY?!" Rebbi asked, as many Nimbis appear.
"Hehehe, quite impressive, but let us see how you'll fare. Hear me, Underwhere army! I have freed you from your prison and in turn, you will destroy all enemies to claim the Pure Heart! Do not fail me!" Xemnas said.
"Your heard Robe Man! We owe him a debt! So, get ready!" One of the skeletal monsters.
"Thou art toast! Ready, Nimbis...CHARGE!" Rebbi commanded, as the Nimbis attack.
"NO MERCY!" Xemnas commanded, as the skeletals attack.
"We shall handle the fell beasts! Hurry to Grambi!" Rebbi said.
"Got it! C'mon!" Sora said, as they rush through the battle.
The seven begin moving through the fight, as they chase after Xemnas, who is now in a shrine, so they hurry onward for the shrine and enter it, where they find Xemnas with an elder Nimbi appearing injured.
"I will not ask again. Tell me the whereabouts of the Pure Heart if you value your life, Grambi." Xemnas said.
"I...shall not reveal its location...! Not to thee..." Grambi said.
"Very well. Then, your game shall end...in darkness!" Xemnas said, unleashing his etheral blade.
"FATHER!" Luvbi cried.
"Get away from him!" Donald yelled.
"L-Luvbi...! L-Leave...! Flee from here..." Grambi said.
"Leaveth my father alone!" Luvbi yelled.
"Still, you follow me here... Very well. Do not forget your debt. Finish them and give me the Pure Heart!" Xemnas said.
"Brrrrrooo ha ha ha ha ha! Don't worry, Xemnas! I have not forgotten my end of the bargain! I shall deal with them." A voice said, as they see what looks like a giant blue skeletal creature with four wings, black talons, and a giant cannon with wheels.
(Theme: Bonechill's Theme)
"What...?" Peach asked.
"Lemme guess, YOU'RE the one Xemnas and Ansem unleashed and also the boss of those hoodlums of the Underwhere!" Sora said, pointing his Keyblade.
"Indeed I am. Call me Bonechill. I am something of an evil celebrity in certain circles of the Underwhere." Bonechill introduced.
"That may be, but my father shall NEVER give you the Pure Heart! EVER!" Luvbi yelled.
"Oh, you poor ignorant child... You truly don't know a thing, do you? Adorable." Bonechill said.
"Huh?" Luigi asked.
"What dost thou mean?" Luvbi asked.
"I speak of the Pure Heart and I speak of you, Luvbi." Bonechill said.
"Wait, that means..." Donald stops talking.
"Luvbi's the Pure Heart?!" Peach asked shocked.
"WH-WHAT?!" Luvbi asked also shocked.
"B-But how?!" Sora asked.
"The Pure Heart was hidden to keep it away from evil sorts like me. Grambi changed the Pure Heart into a Nimbi...that he calls his own daughter." Bonechill said.
"Ha! Th-That is silly... My mother and father...!" Luvbi stops talking.
"Oh, priceless! You believe Grambi paid any attention to you out of love?!" Bonechill asked.
"Th-Thou LIEST! Father, he is lying, right?" Luvbi asked.
"L-Luvbi..." Grambi said.
"It seems this fool is capable of weighing the sins of others, but not his own... How pitiful." Xemnas said.
"So, it is true..." Goofy said.
"Luvbi, we'll talk about this later." Tippi said.
"Right! Get Grambi to safety! We'll take care of them!" Sora said and Mario nods.
"Y-Yea..." Luvbi said.
"Many thanks for delivering me the Pure Heart!" Bonechill said.
"Who said we gave it to YOU?!" Bowser asked.
"Luvbi and the Pure Heart are NOT yours!" Peach yelled.
"Enough of this. Bonechill, destroy them." Xemnas said, disappearing in his dark corridor.
"Now, as your game ends, let be an honor it was by my own talons!" Bonechill said.
"Don't be so sure! You can't stop all of US!" Sora said and Mario nods.
(Boss Theme: Vs. Bonechill)
Bonechill uses his ice breath to try and freeze the group, who dodge out of the way and Sora aerial slashes with his Keyblade followed by casting Fire, dealing great damage while Mario shoots fireballs to deal more great, but Bonechill retaliates with using his cannon body to shoot ice shards, but Peach uses her parasol to block the ice attacks and then unleashes heart orbs and sends them to strike while Donald casts Fire to deal great damage. Bonechill delivers slashes at the group with his talons and then breathes ice on the ceiling to creating ice spikes, making them drop, but Goofy uses Goofy Discus and throws his shield while Bowser shoots fireballs, only for Bonechill to breathe more ice to freeze the group, but Mario uses Power Bounce and jumps on Bonechill many times while Luigi uses Super Jump. Bonechill attacks the Mario Bros. with his talons and then uses his cannon body to fire more ice shards, only for Donald to cast Fire again to deal great damage while Bowser shoots more fireballs, but Bonechill delivers an icy slam attack with its talons. Peach uses her parasol to block the attack and uses Peach Bomber while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado while Luigi uses Soft Stomp to make Bonechill weaker, only for Bonechill to breathe more ice on the ceiling to make more ice spikes drop down to attack, but Sora aerial slashes with his Keyblade followed by an aerial spinning slash while Mario uses Fire Stomp and deals burning damage. Bonechill uses his cannon to fire more ice shards to attack, only for Bowser to use Whirling Fortress while Goofy uses Rocket and delivers an upper strike, but Bonechill breathes ice to try and freeze the group, only for Sora to cast Fire three times to deal even more damage.
Bonechill roars with rage and then delivers an icy slam attack at Sora with his talons, but Donald casts Thunder and then casts Fire again while Luigi unleashes lightning to attack, only for Bonechill to use his cannon to fire more ice shards and then breathes more ice to freeze the group, but Bowser breathes fire to counter the ice breath, allowing Goofy to use Goofy Discus and throws his shield while Peach uses Peach Blossom. Bonechill swipes at the group with its talons and then creates more ice spikes on the ceiling to drop on the group, who dodge and Luigi uses Super Jump to deal great damage while Donald casts Aero followed by Fire, but Bonechill shoots more ice shards to attack, only for Mario to use Power Jump and delivers a powerful jump attack while Bowser shoots fireballs. Bonechill slams at the group with his icy talons, only for Peach to attack with her parasol while Donald casts Thunder, but Bonechill breathes more ice to freeze the group, only for Goofy to use Goofy Tornado while Luigi uses Poison Stomp, but Bonechill unleashes more ice spikes. Sora aerial slashes with his Keyblade followed by unleashing a light burst and enters Second Form and delivers powerful slashes followed by Sonic Blade while Mario uses Fire Stomp and does burning damage, but Bonechill retaliates with using his cannon to fire more ice shards to attack, but Peach and Goofy block the ice shards. Bonechill breathes more ice to make more ice spikes and they drop down at the group, but Bowser shoots more fireballs while Luigi uses Super Jump while Donald casts Fire, but Bonechill attacks with his talons, only for Goofy to bash with his shield while Peach unleashes heart orbs while Mario uses Power Bounce while Sora casts Fire three times and they finish Bonechill.
"BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH! H-How... Impossible... How could you puny worms...destroy the master of cold dark...?!" Bonechill asked, as he falls apart into pieces.
"Heh, Ice Titan was much more of a fight than YOU!" Sora said, as Donald and Goofy chuckle.
Grambi and Luvbi return to the shrine and meet the group.
"Thou...hast done well... Thou hast saved...our realm..." Grambi said.
"Father... The words of that monster...were lies, yea?" Luvbi asked.
"Is Luvbi...really...a Pure Heart?" Sora asked.
"Luvbi..." Grambi was cut off.
"LUVBI!" A voice called, as Jaydes enters the shrine.
"Jaydes?!" Luigi asked.
"Mother!" Luvbi said.
"I had not heard about your safe arrival, so I came looking. Are you safe?" Jaydes asked.
"Speakest to me, Mother. Father and thee... Art thou my real parents?" Luvbi asked.
"Wh-What?!" Jaydes asked shocked.
"Prithee, Mother! Speakest the truth to me." Luvbi said.
(Theme: Soft Light)
"...Luvbi... You're...not really our child..." Jaydes said sadly, shocking everyone.
"It...IS true...!" Luvbi said shocked.
"The Pure Heart was always falling into the wrong hands of evil. Grambi and I...decided to transform it into a shape no one would suspect." Jaydes said.
"That's...me..." Luvbi said, as a glow occurs and shows a white Pure Heart in Luvbi.
"What...is THAT?" Jaydes asked.
"The Pure Heart doth struggle against the Luvbi identity... It seeketh its true form. It doth sense someone nearby worthy of possessing it. It must be these fair folk." Grambi said, looking at the group.
"So, thou sayest I am meant to be with them... B-But...they are wrong for me! Fine! I shall return to my Pure Heart form! I am going with Sora, Mario, and their friends!" Luvbi said.
"Thou art certain...? If thou turnest back into the Pure Heart, the Nimbi that is Luvbi will...cease to exist..." Grambi said.
"Nay! Perhaps I already have! I remember being a Pure Heart, in truth! The world will end if I do not go with them, yea? I should... But, I should NOT explain myself to thee! Thou art not my real father! QUIET!" Luvbi yelled.
"Wh-What?!" Grambi asked shocked.
"To think of all the times thou hast scolded me! Thou didst KNOW I was not long for this world! Why didst thou not let me have any fun?! I have suffered an angry fake father and a nagging fake mother! I had no life! How dost thou plan to make that up to me?!" Luvbi snapped.
"Luvbi!" Jaydes said.
"Sayest thou what thou wilt to me, but talketh not to thy mother that way! Thy sass shall end once thou changeth forms! What dost thou wait for?!" Grambi asked.
"Giveth me a break! I must do it whether thou wish or not! It shall be a RELIEF!" Luvbi yelled.
"Thou art an ungrateful brat! Dost thou not recall when I lingered by thy bedside?!" Grambi argued.
"I scoff at thy lingering! Why dost thou not giveth me back the present I bought with my save allowance!" Luvbi yelled.
"What madness doth spew from thy lips?! Who GAVETH thee that allowance?! Thou didst lie to get the money too! Thou didst pretend to buy schoolbooks!" Grambi berated.
"How dost DARE to lecture me on lying! Why dost think I lied?! I thought Mother and thee... I thought thou wouldst...be happy... The pair of thee... Thou art not my real parents... I... I... I HATE thee!" Luvbi said.
"That's enough, Luvbi. It is true we created you as a means of protecting the Pure Heart... But Grams and I cam to love you as a true daughter. We wanted to be there for you for all time and protect you. Perhaps we were wrong to create you... If we only caused you pain...we apologize..." Jaydes said.
"Mother, thou needest not apologize..." Luvbi said, as her Pure Heart form appears. "The Pure Heart doth wish to assume its true form." Luvbi said and turns to the group. "Sora, Mario, Tippi, takest care of the real me... Prithee, savest the world... Such is my final wish, so if thou dost not do it, thou art most unkind." Luvbi said.
"We promise, Luvbi." Sora said and Mario nods.
"We understand." Tippi said.
"Father... Mother... Fare thee well..." Luvbi said.
"Luvbi..." Grambi said.
"Oh, my daughter..." Jaydes said.
"I am sorry for what I said... In truth, I...love thee..." Luvbi said, as she turns into her Pure Heart form.
"Luvbi..." Sora said.
"Gawrsh..." Goofy said, taking off his hat.
"Now, ye prophesied heroes... Takest our dear daughter... Takest the Pure Heart! Sweareth me this... Thou must prevail...! Let no one else in the universe feel this sadness!" Grambi said.
"We promise!" Sora said and Mario nods.
"We'll make sure Luvbi's wish won't be in vain." Peach said.
"Yeah! We'll stop the bad guys!" Donald said.
"I am satisfied! Now, Luvbi, thou must go..." Grambi said.
"Grams..." Jaydes said sadly.
Sora and Mario take the white Pure Heart.
END OF CHAPTER!
"Grambi mourned for his beloved Luvbi's sacrafice as the Nimbis were cleaning the damage in the Overthere. Draped in sadness, Queen Jaydes walked slowly back to her palace in the Underwhere. Sora, Mario, their friends, and the final Pure Heart were all that remained. The Pure Heart had come at a high price. Let us hope it was all worthwhile." Jiminy wrote in his jounral.
(Theme: Count Bleck's Plan)
In Castle Bleck, Ansem, Xemnas, and Dimentio inform Count Bleck of the heroes' survival.
"WHAT?! ...Spat Count Bleck in utter disbelief! This news cannot be true! The heroes still live?!" Count Bleck asked.
"Indeed. They even managed to escape the Underwhere." Ansem said.
"They even have obtained the final Pure Heart." Xemnas said.
"Now, it's only a matter of time before they come here." Dimentio said.
"Whuh?! Izzat true then?! What're we doin' twiddlin' our biscuits 'ere?! Count Bleck! Lemme go throw 'em a nice welcome party! I'll bring the PUNCH!" O'Chunks said, leaving.
"Oooh, I wanna party with those party poopers too! Mimimimimi!" Mimi said, also leaving.
"Even if the heroes do come, their time is almost up. Their collection of the Pure Hearts mean nothing in the end." Young Xehanort said.
"Ah ha ha ha ha! I concur! Still, I wouldn't wanna miss a party." Dimentio said, but has a question. "Say, dear Count, does the name Blumiere ring a bell?" Dimentio asked, shocking Nastasia.
"Where did you hear that name, Dimentio?!" Count Bleck asked.
"Oh, it was Sora's and Mario's little Pixl that kept saying that name..." Ansem said.
"Yes, she continues to say something about 'stopping Blumiere'." Xemnas said.
"But there's no reason to pay any mind to the ramblings of a Pixl. Ciao for now!" Dimentio said, disappearing.
"The destruction draws ever closer. Not even Sora will stop this now." Young Xehanort said.
"Shall we?" Ansem asked, as they disappear in their dark corridors.
"Count Bleck, if that Pixl is who you think it is... There's still time! You can still stop the prophecy! If it's her, she's alive! You have to stop this!" Nastasia said.
"You know not what you are saying, Nastasia. The prophecy can no longer be stopped by Count Bleck. No one can stop it." Count Bleck said.
"Yeah, I'm on board with what you're saying, but there's always a way. There must...LORD BLUMIERE!" Nastasia said.
"The man known as Blumiere is long dead. There is only BLECK! The Dark Prognosticus' choice to fulfill the prophecy! COME TO COUNT BLECK, HEROES! IF YOU HOPE TO SAVE THESE WORLDS, COME FOR BLECK! BLEH HEH HEH HEH HEH! BLECK!" Count Bleck said, laughing manically.
(Theme: Memory 7)
"Blumiere, my son, don't! Even your ancestors could not handle the dark book..." Blumiere's father warned.
"I do not care, Father! A world without her is empty! A LIFE without her is empty! Speak, Dark Prognosticus! Teach me your dark history! I await your command!" Blumiere said, as darkness wraps around him. "BLEH HEH HEH HEH HEH! BLECK!" Blumiere laughed manically.
"Blumiere... What have you done...?" Blumiere's father asked.
"Silence! The first prophecy beckons! I shall erase every inch of this blasted world!" Blumiere said.
"Blumiere... Don't do this! Blumiere!" Blumiere's father begged.
"Blumiere is no more! I am Count Bleck! No one shall stand in my way! BLEH HEH HEH HEH! BLECK!" Count Bleck said, destroying everying.
"No! Blumiere! You mustn't! Darling... How could you...?" Tippi's voice asked.
And that's Chapter 7 for Darkness of Destruction! Hope you enjoyed the seventh chapter, hope this was worth the wait, and hope you'll look forward to what's gonna happen next! Before people bitch at me for not having Sora being in the Final World, it's because, as what Jaydes said in this chapter and the in the actual Super Paper Mario, the heroes never died, but were sent seperately, so it doesn't and shouldn't matter. I'm gonna try and keep working on the action for this story and try to do what's natural and also fun to read as well. Where will Sora, Mario, Donald, Peach, Goofy, and Bowser end up next? Will they be able to stop Count Bleck once and for all? Will they save all worlds from destruction? Who will they encounter along the way? What will come across their way in the next world? See ya guys in the next chapter, where we head for Chapter 8! Bye for now!
Also, since it's Thanksgiving, I wanna say I'm thankful for people, who understand, support, and love what I do. It really means a lot to me and I hope you'll look forward to more KH crossovers happening in the future.
