Chapter 12: Coming to a Crossroads 1

A/N: Wow! I can't believe people actually wanted to be in this fic! I'm honored! cries tears of joy

Talk Back:

Raya the angelalchemist: Wow, you wanna be in my story? Cool! Thanks!

jeffiswrongC: You don't wanna? Oh, well. Yeah, I agree with what you're saying, but the Gummi hi-jinks are separate chapters, so I really don't know, you know? And I agree: let's not find out. Anyway, thanks!

Jupiter-Lightning: You, too? Wow! And thanks!

Lady Sonora the Black-Rose: That's perfect! Thanks!

Emmy19: Another person? Wow, thanks!

Musashi the Master (): Well, you have a lot of questions. Unfortunatly, most of them contain top secret information that I am not allowed to present, because if I did, I'd ruin the whole plot. As for your suggestions, the Ed, Edd, and Eddy world sounds fun; I'll think about it. But honestly, I really don't know what the heck Mew Mew Power is, so please forgive my ignorance. And I am dead set on putting South Park in this story no matter what anyone says! I appreciate your many reviews; thank you!

Matt of Hyrule: You too? Yay! That's five people! YAY! Thanks!

Well, I guess the fic should start now! Oh, and for the reviewers that will be in this fic: forgive me if the personality is off! I'm trying the best I can!

The Hornbeam landed with a soft thump on the landing pad at Traverse Town. The hatch doors hissed open, and out came our favorite group of heroes (and you BETTER know who everybody is by now!).

"Well, THAT was uneventful," Kairi said as she stood outside the ship. The others nodded as they filed out of the ship. Hardly anything had happened on their way back to Traverse Town, other than everyone who wasn't driving the Gummi Ship was sleeping. Suddenly, Sora, (who was at the end of the line) stumbled out of the ship, looking exhausted.

"Something wrong, Sora?" Lilith asked as she looked back at the brunette. He nodded weakly.

"Yeah, I'm just tired is all," he said, rubbing his head, "Don't know why, though…"

He then suddenly fainted. The others quickly gathered around him and propped him up, everyone exchanging worried glances.

"What happened?" Donald asked.

"I dunno," Lilith said, her voice becoming panicky, "He just said he was tired and then BAM he faints!"

"Looks like you're friend got what's going around."

The others turned around at the new arrival and gasped. There stood a girl who looked to be about sixteen. She had red hair with one black streak down to her knees in a bunch of braids. One eye was purple, the other was black. She was wearing red leggings, a black mini-skirt with slits on the side, a black halter top, a red and silver beaded necklace, and a few feathers in her hair. She had three samurai swords, one on her left hip and two on her right hip.

"Who're you?" Helena asked, raising an eyebrow. The girl walked over calmly and held out her hand.

"Name's Sonora," She said, smiling, "I've been here for a week. You guys travelers or something?"

"Yeah, sort of," Kairi said, shaking Sonora's hand, "So, what did you say about something going around?"

"Well," Sonora said, "yesterday, a bunch of Heartless caused a huge gas leak in the Third District. A few others, including myself, were fighting them there when it happened. After a few minutes, some of the people there fainted, and they woke up a few moments later acting like…idiots." Everyone gasped.

"Golly, can this happen to anyone?" Goofy asked, becoming nervous.

"Yes, but I think you and your duck friend are safe. There are those three little ducks that run the items shop, and they're fine." At this news, Donald breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank heavens they're alright," Donald said, "Daisy would've killed me if they weren't!" The others laughed good-naturedly at Donald's fear of his girlfriend, but he shrugged it off.

"Anyway," Sonora said, "It's already spread to the First and Second Districts. I don't think the sickness is permanent, though. Two girls took one of the guys that was fighting and went to find a cure on another world, and they already called us back. They said he was just fine after leaving Traverse Town. Plus, the person goes in and out of the illness every couple hours" The others sighed in relief.

"At least we know that Sora won't be an idiot all the time," Navi said, popping out from under Goofy's hat. The others gave her a very scary glare. Navi gulped, sweat-dropping

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN THIS WHOLE TIME?" Kairi shouted. Navi cringed.

"Hey, it's not my fault I'm a heavy sleeper! Seriously!" The fairy said, defending herself. She then looked over to Sonora.

"I don't believe I've met you," Navi said, "Navi the Fairy. And you are?"

"Sonora," the sword-sporting girl said, "So…how about I take you guys to my hideout? We can watch your friend; make sure he doesn't do anything too stupid."

"That sounds good," Lilith said, picking Sora up and carrying him, "But we also need to stock up on supplies." Sonora nodded in understanding and led the six heroes to her hidden hideout…

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

"Cool hideout," Lilith said, looking around.

"Thanks." Sonora grinned at the demon girl's comment. The hideout was located in the under-development Fourth District. The entrance (an unimpressive hole in the ground with a dirt staircase and an overhang made of spare cement blocks and tarp and a wooden door on top like an entrance to a cellar) had defiantly mislead the group of heroes to think it was a shoddy hideout, because it was far from lousy. It was a huge area (probably as big as the Fourth District) carved out of the dirt and separated into segments by cement blocks, tarp, and wood. The entrance had led to what seemed to be a living room, with threadbare but comfortable and sturdy furniture. It also had…

"Whoa! That's a…a…a 49 in. plasma screen TV!" Kairi exclaimed, pointing to the TV on the makeshift wooden wall.

"Yeah, took us from two days ago to this morning to get electric in this place, and we get great cable for the TV," Sonora said, looking proud of the accomplishment.

"Wait, who's 'us'?" Helena asked.

"The others that stay here with me. I met them all during last week. They're all other people who's worlds were destroyed. So far we're just a bunch of kids. I think they're all out fighting Heartless right now, though. Maybe you guys can meet them later." Sonora then motioned to the green plaid couch.

"Put Sora over here," She said. On the walk over to the hideout, Kairi had introduced everyone (much to their distain, but hey, she's kinda bossy). Lilith nodded and gently lay Sora down onto the couch. Everyone else crowded around the couch, looking at Sora with concern.

"Hey, uh, Sonora," Lilith said, "When you say that Sora will be acting like an idiot, what do you mean by idiot per say?"

"Oh, you know, just doing stupid things, like spouting random phrases and doing strange things," Sonora explained. Just then Sora groaned. Everyone looked at him, hoping he wouldn't be too much of an idiot. The brunette sat up, blinked his eyes open, and rubbed his head.

"Sora…are you alright?" Kairi asked, immediately pushing the others out of the way. She knelt next to him and held his hand. "Are you feeling well?" Sora stared at her for a second, and then just started to laugh his ass off.

"Uhhh…" Everyone said; since when was Sora this giddy? They then watched, dumbfounded, as Sora got off the couch and walked right up to Sonora.

"Who're you?" he asked.

"My name's Sonora."

"Nice to meet you Sonora. You have nice hair."

"Oh, why thank you, I-"

"Can I have it?"

"Wh-what?" Sonora said, slightly shocked and weirded out, "N-no, you can't!"

"Aw, man," Sora said, looking slightly disappointed. Everyone just looked at Sora like he had three heads.

"…Yeah, he's an idiot," Helena said. The others nodded in shocked agreement. Sora then went up to Kairi and started to make out with her. Once they broke apart, Kairi had a huge grin on her face.

"His kissing doesn't seem to be affected," Kairi said, making the others become weirded out even more. She gave Sora a hug, and he hugged back.

"Hey, can we order take-out?" Sora asked out of the blue.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Lilith sat on the couch and watched, trying not to laugh, as Sora greeted the Chinese food delivery girl. He had tried to give her a 'coupon', which was really a piece of computer paper with 'coupOn' written in red crayon as payment for the food, but she didn't accept it. He had then gone to get another 'coupon', and brought out Goofy wearing a pink tutu and a sash that said 'coupon' on it. The dog-man had, of course, protested, but Sora was being an idiot, so you can't really argue with him. Sonora had managed to save Goofy and paid the delivery girl, who had, after she was paid, ran away in pure terror of Sora.

"Go ahead Lilith, laugh," Sonora said, dragging Sora, Goofy, and the Chinese food to another room, "After you're done, come have lunch, okay?" Lilith nodded, and once all other beings had left the room, she collapsed onto the couch in a fit of laughter. After ten minutes she was still laughing, and didn't notice Kairi and Donald coming back from buying supplies. Kairi had tried shaking Lilith's shoulder to get her attention, but she was still laughing.

"Lilith, stop; you're going to go into hysterics!" Donald exclaimed while Kairi shook Lilith. Lilith nodded weakly and wiped away her mirthful tears, taking deep breaths to calm herself.

"I-I know," She said, wheezing, "But y-you should have s-seen Goofy…h-he was in a t-tutu…and S-Sora…oh my gosh…ha ha…" She sighed giddily and sat up on the couch, slowly recovering from her laughing fit. Sonora then popped back in.

"Hi Kairi, Donald," She said, and then looked over to Lilith. "You okay? It's been, like, fifteen minutes or something since the coupon incident." Lilith nodded, and reassurance swept over Sonora's face.

"Well, come on. Everyone's having lunch, and surprisingly, Sora hasn't stuck anything up his nose." There was then a shout from the hideout's dining room for someone to come and help 'get the Lo Mein out of Sora's nose'.

"Spoke too soon," Sonora said, sighing. Lilith, Kairi, and Donald laughed, and Sonora joined them in laughing as they went to unplug the Keyblade Master's nose and enjoy some nose-free Lo Mein themselves.

"Nympha, dear, I have a mission for you."

'Our Lady' stood at the head of the hologram table, her aqua-haired apprentice across from her, a look of delight seeping into her amethyst eyes.

"Really, My Lady? A mission? Oh, I am elated to serve you in any way!" Nympha then, after spazzing a bit, regained her composure. "What is the mission, My Lady?" 'Our Lady' smiled at Nympha's eagerness.

"I want you to go to Disciple Icy's world. Take it for the darkness. It may be rather hard, since so many magical beings will try to get in your way, but I'm sending you with quite a few battalions of Heartless…and this." 'Our Lady' reached into her pocket and pulled out a golden amulet on a silver chain. The amulet was a simple circle with a teardrop shaped ruby in the center. 'Our Lady' tossed it to Nympha, and she caught it.

"It contains the power of all the worlds that have fallen to the darkness," The villainess explained, "Once another world is destroyed, more power will be added to it, thereby adding to your own power. It'll make you quite formidable now…but think of when the Key Staff Wielder comes snooping around…I'm sure by then that I can leave that task to you. But for now…just turn Disciple Icy's world into nothingness, alright?"

"Yes, My Lady," Nympha said, bowing respectfully, "I shall take that world for us. But didn't Disciple Icy want that world for herself?"

"She settled for having it and a few other places once they've been taken over," 'Our Lady' explained, "At least she'll help with some of those other worlds. Besides, I'd send her to do it herself, but she's very busy with Ansem on another mission right now. Now, you go to the prepared vessel. I'll send the Heartless after you soon." Nympha nodded and left the room, her giddiness showing in that annoying spring in her step. 'Our Lady' chuckled.

"She fell for it," 'Our Lady said to herself, "She took the pendant." She then tapped the hologram table, and up popped a star-chart. Stars were connected into constellations, and all the worlds were marked by name. It showed sealed worlds, unsealed worlds, and worlds that the darkness had taken. 'Our Lady' smiled as she counted the worlds taken.

A few more worlds under my control, and things will be running smoothly…soon…I'll be able to finally put that…that bitch in her place…

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

"Have a safe journey," Sonora said, watching the group of heroes (minus Sora; they had strapped him into his seat so he wouldn't mess anything up) load up their Gummi ship. "I've heard that the Heartless have spread pretty far, and their numbers are growing immensely. They must have taken quite a few worlds to have so many in numbers."

"Yeah, thanks Sonora," Lilith said as she carried some potions into the ship, "Wish you could come, though."

"Yeah," Helena said, passing by Lilith to exit the ship, "You look like you'd be a big help. Maybe we'll figure out how to modify the Gummi ship so you and your friends can come."

"You might not wanna do that," Sonora said, smirking, "Though I thank you for your offer, I gotta say that I've got a lot of friends, and we've been fighting the Heartless here. If we went…well, this world might be taken, too. So good luck."

"Thanks," Lilith said as she re-exited the ship to grab some more supplies, "We'll need all the luck possible." Donald then poked his head out from the doorway.

"That the last of it?" He asked as Lilith grabbed the last of the potions. She nodded. "Good. We've gotta get going." He then turned to Sonora. "It was awfully nice meeting you, Sonora."

"Likewise, guys."

"Hey, maybe we can hang with you and your friends next time we roll into town?" Kairi said, popping out from behind Donald. Sonora nodded.

"Sounds fun," She said. There was then a crash from inside the Gummi Ship, and Goofy toppled over Donald and Kairi.

"It's Sora!" the knight said. "He fainted again!"

"Ahh…He's probably going back to normal," Sonora said, "He won't remember much, so I suggest telling him what happened and what will probably happen again when you guys come back."

"Okie-dokie, then!" Lilith exclaimed. She and the others then scurried back into the ship and got ready for launch.

"Lilith, Helena, your turn to drive," Donald said as he sat in his seat. Lilith looked at Helena; she hadn't forgotten the poker game, and it didn't seem like Helena did, either.

"I'll drive until Sora is better, then he takes over," Helena whispered to Lilith as she passed by to sit down. Once everyone was situated, Navi popped out from under Goofy's hat.

"Hey, can we do a countdown?" Navi asked. Everyone else (except Sora) glared at her. She gulped.

"NOOOOOOOO!"

"Alright, alright, sheesh…"

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

Sonora watched as the Gummi ship flew off into the night sky, a small smile on her face. She then blinked and turned around, her smile growing.

"Nice to see you, Matt."

"Likewise, Sonora," a voice said. A boy that looked to be about sixteen stepped out of the shadows. His reddish-orange hair went to about halfway down his neck, and he had green eyes that more often than not caught the intrigue of young women. He wore a plain red shirt and jeans. "So, was that them?"

"Yeah," Sonora said, looking back where the ship had disappeared, "Hazel will be glad we found 'em. So, did you see anything strange?"

"Other than the lack of pretty girls and the masses of Heartless, no," He said as he stopped and stood next to Sonora, staring up at the sky as well. Sonora huffed.

"Leave it to you to notice how many cute girls are in one area."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing. Forget it."

"…O-kay…so, you want me to spread the word to the others, or what?"

Sonora turned to Matt. "Yeah, you do that, but let me tell Hazel, alright? She's still shaken up from what happened."

"Yeah, I know." The two red-heads then stared up at the sky for a minute, and the Matt left to tell 'the others'. Sonora sighed after he left.

"This whole thing just keeps getting weirder…"

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

A/N: Oh, hell, that sucked, didn't it? And I'm really sorry for the long wait; that damned writer's block really took its sweet time leaving! And also, I've been feeling sick. And congrats to Lady Sonora the Black-Rose and Matt of Hyrule; did you guys like your introductions? I didn't screw anything up, did I? I hope you guys liked them! And also, two out of three of Sora's antics I got from the Andy Milonakis Show (I came up with the Lo Mein-up-the-nose joke myself, and I don't own that show either! I own nothing!). If you haven't seen that show, you really should. Trust me! I laughed my ass off when I saw it! It rocks!

Please read and review! Oh, and I might alter the list of things-to-be-crossed-over-in-this-fic-with, so I'll post the alteration next chapter if there is one. Ja Ne!-AnimeDutchess
