Chapter 2: Traversing Traverse Town
The town of Traverse Town is quiet with the exception of its current inhabitants. Upon arriving, Phil and Lil decided on disguising themselves in common-like clothing. The two have been to Traverse Town before because their friends Harold, Nicole, and Z worked in an accessory shop in town.
Phil and Lil followed by Spike left the ship, into town all dresses like commoners, with Phil keeping his soccer ball and Lil her millennium Cynthia doll. As the two head further into town, Phil looked up, gasped, and pointed.
"Hey Lil! Look! One of those stars is disappearing!" Phil exclaimed.
Lil looked up and sure enough a star has gone out.
"Great. Tommy was telling the truth." Lil said with a groan. "We better find this Keyblade person and fast. Let's go!"
The three kept on moving, looking around. This took a few seconds or so.
"So any idea where to find this person?" Lil asked in annoyance.
"Shouldn't we go find this Spider-Man person?" Phil asked. Lil groans and looked in a direction. From the corner of Phil's eyes, he sees Spike sniffing around heading into an alley. Puzzled, Phil turns to Lil. "Hey sis, I think Spike…"
"I don't have time to take Spike to the bathroom!" snapped Lil.
"But." Phil begins to protest, but sighs as she sees that Lil isn't in the mood to hear anymore. Phil turned to Spike. "Come on, Spike."
But Spike has gone into the alley he was sniffing in. He continues doing it then looks up. He sees an unconscious Asian girl holding some sort of weapon. She is groaning for some reason. Spike goes up to her and licks her, waking her up.
"Man, what a nightmare." June groans. Spike licks her again and she jumps up. "AAAHHH! This isn't a nightmare!" June then chose this time to look around. "Where am I? Oh brother, and I don't mean Ray-Ray." June then sees Spike. "Hey, any idea where we are?" Spike hears Phil calling him and runs off. "Hey, come back here!" protested June as she runs after him. But by the time she got out of the alley, Spike is long gone. June looks around astonished. "This is weird. I'm in another world."
June begins to explore the town. "Man, this place is weird." June said in wonder. She then eyes a shop nearby. "I wondered if I could get some answers in here."
June enters a shop. Upon doing so, she stumble upon three kids working. One of them is a red-haired chubby geeky looking boy, another is a brown haired girl in teenaged style clothes and the last one is a green Mohawk haired boy with one earring on one ear and wearing punk-like clothes. The red-haired boy sees June.
"Hey, we got a customer!" The boy said delighted.
"Oh, hi! Welcome to our shop!" said the brown haired girl excited. "My name is Nicole, these two are Harold and Z. May we like help you?
"Uh, yeah. My name is Juniper Lee, but my friends called me June." June said a bit nervous. "Can you tell us where I am?"
"Well," said the Mohawk-haired kid named Z with a thought. "This town is called Traverse Town. First time here?"
"Well, yes. You see, I was home in my world and…" June starts to explain, but Harold cut her off.
"Wow! Another kid from another world! Must be thanks to those monsters!" Harold said delighted.
"What is he talking about?" June asked curious.
"Oh, don't mind him. He gets excited." Nicole said with a shrug. "We don't have much to tell you, but if you want more info, go talk to a man named Cyclops. You can find him at the accessory shop at the First District."
"Okay! Thanks." June was about to leave when Z spoke up.
"Before you go, you mind dealing with that wonky fans of ours." Z said pointing upwards. The fan on the ceiling high up above seems to be not moving. "It's not working for some reason."
June smirks. "No problem." June jumps up but to her surprise, she didn't jump high enough to hit it. She lands back on the floor. "What the?" June asked puzzled. With a frown, she jumps up and managed to hit it with the long reach of the Keyblade. A postcard fell out and the fan starts moving. June takes the postcard.
"Hey thanks! We were planning on doing that ourselves but we lost our ladder." Harold said.
"Uh, you're welcome." June responded in puzzle. As she leaves, she thinks to herself, 'I don't get it. I should be able to jump high enough to reach it. Why didn't I get to it?'
June finds the District Shop and enters it. She looks around at the stuff. It looks like communicators, battle gear, round red, white, and blue shields with stars on them; big hammers, etc. seemed to be lying around.
"Hello?" June called.
"Hold on. I'm coming." June sees a man wearing a blue and yellow outfit, with his hair out or covered, and wearing visors that covered his eyes appearing behind the counter.
The man spoke up. "How can I." The man stops upon seeing June. The man frowns. "Aren't you a little bit young to be out on your own, young lady?"
"Hey, I am not that young!" protested June angrily. "My name is Juniper Lee!"
"Calm down, little girl. I apologize for what I said." June sighs and looks down. The man took note and spoke up. "Why the long face? Are you lost or something?"
"No!" snapped June, then rethinks her answer. "Well, maybe. Can you tell me where I am?"
The man looks puzzled. June then explained her problem and how she ended up in this world. The man nodded, understanding her situation.
"I see. Well, this is Traverse Town, a world where those who lost their worlds to the darkness live. This is the only town on this world as the rest is barren wasteland." The man explained.
"Traverse Town, huh?" June nodded. "Well, one eye is this really another world?"
The man frowns, mostly because of June's one eye remark. "Don't call me one eye. My name is Cyclops, one of the X-Men. Now, I have no idea how to deal with your situation but this isn't Orchid Bay."
"Oh great!" groaned June. She sighs. "Well, may as well see if Ember or Danny's around." June smiles at saying Danny's name. There's something about him that seems right. As if she…
Cyclops interrupts her thought at that moment. "Good luck with finding them. If you are ever in trouble, come here. I'd looked after you."
"Okay! Thanks for the info, one eye." June said as she left the District Shop.
"It's Cyclops!" he yelled.
June continues exploring the town in hopes to find her friends. She was talking to people, getting some info. But besides that, no one has seen Danny Fenton or Ember. June sighs as she enters the Second District. Finding her friends is more difficult than she thought it was. She hopes to find them. Ember is her best friend (even though she was acting weirder than normal when the whole darkness thing happened) and Danny. June smiles in a flirty smile at the thought of them. Sometimes, she has dreams of her and him hanging around together under a tree. The two would hug. Then Danny would smile, leans over, and…But that next thought is interrupted as a man runs in from the shadow in a bloody scream.
"What the heck?" yelped June in alarmed.
The man fell to the ground, dead. As he dies, something came out of his body. June looked at it puzzled but then the heart turned into a dark looking creature wearing a pointy top helmet with claws and a symbol on its chest. It laughs evilly as it disappears. June hears another noise behind them. She turns and sees familiar looking dark creatures. June recognized them, though not in good memory.
"It's the same creeps from Orchid Bay!" June yelled angrily. "You."
June angrily charges and tries to punch one of the creatures. But to her shock, her punches didn't flinch them. "What now?" June tries to kick like crazy but even those don't hurt them. The creature she was attacking looked at her in a moment then knocked her down in a swipe. "Great." June said with a groan as she got back up. "I don't get it. My Te Xuan Ze powers are acting up for no reason!" She then remembered the Keyblade and how it destroyed the shadows last time. She took it out. "Okay! It's go time!" The shadows jumped at her but she swipes at two of the creatures, destroying them on impact. She quickly swipes at a few more and soon no more is left.
"Okay, this is getting crazy." June said with a groan. "Well, things couldn't have gotten worst. "Just then, more creatures appeared, more than the ones she fought. "I shouldn't have said that." June yelped as she runs off. June managed to ditch the creatures by ducking into a building.
"Good. Out of danger," June breathes with relief as she steps forward. But then a water balloon hits on the head. "What did I just tell myself?"
"Cowabunga, man! I got her!" June turned to see a laughing yellow skinned boy with spiky looking hair, a red shirt, and blue pants. June growls.
"YOU'RE GOING TO GET IT, YELLOW BOY!" yelled June as she yells at the boy, charging at him.
"Bart, what are you doing now?" a woman's voice called. June stops and sees more yellow people like the kid. One of them is a tall bald-haired man with a white shirt and blue pants, another is a tall woman with big blue hair, green dress, white pearls, and red shoes, a third with spiky hair like the boy except it's more round than rectangle, wearing a red dress, and the last one is a baby with a blue bow tie and baby clothes sucking on a pacifier in the blue hair woman's arms.
"Uh, nothing," Bart, the kid, said innocently.
"Bart, don't fib. We saw you throw a water balloon at that girl." The spiky hair girl said.
"Hey, don't have a cow Lisa." Bart chuckled.
"Uh, excuse me? Who are you?" June said.
The man screams. "A non-yellow kid! We're being invaded again!"
"Homer, stop that. She is obviously from another world." The blue hair woman told.
"Oh." Homer nodded.
Bart chuckled. "Homer is more stupid here than he is back home."
That remark made Homer mad. "Why you little."
Bart yelps and runs away with Homer chasing him like a mad man. June looks shocked.
"Don't' mind him. Homie always does that." The blue hair woman said. "My name is Marge Simpson, Homer is my husband, the girl is my daughter Lisa, the baby in my arms is little Maggie, and you already met Bart."
"Yeah, I did." June said rolling her eyes. "Uh, so you're all yellow?"
"Not all of us, but you get the idea." Lisa said.
"All of us?' There are more here?" June asked.
"Well, actually when our world was destroyed, we got separated from the rest of our fellow citizens of Springfield." Maggie just sucks on her pacifier as Marge spoke. "We know there's some of them around town, but the others are on other worlds!" Marge said.
"We are just hoping that they're okay." Lisa told her.
"I see. Want me to go find them?" June asked.
Marge waited until Bart runs by with Homer still chasing him to respond. "Will you? That will be so kind. Listen, when you do find them, use this." Marge hands June a remote control.
"What's this gizmo?" June asked puzzled.
"It's an invention made by Professor Brink before he disappeared." Lisa answered. "It will teleport objects or people to a certain place. The thing will teleport our friends, family, whatever, here. Just point it at them, pushed the button, and voila. Just remember, it only works on Springfield citizens. Good luck."
"Okay. I guess I can go find them. See you around." June said her goodbyes. She pauses upon seeing Homer almost getting Bart. "Is he going to be okay?"
"Well, Homer hasn't killed Bart yet." Marge said.
"Though sometimes, dad has." Lisa said with a giggle.
June laughs and leaves. Upon leaving the building, she frowns. "And how am I supposed to go to other worlds?" June demanded frustrated.
Cyclops was in the District Shop working when June came in. Cyclops looks then hands a box to a fellow mutant that is working in the District Shop. "Take this in the back." Cyclops instructed. The mutant nodded and went into the box with the box. Cyclops turns to June. "So tell me, did you find them?"
"No!" snapped June. "I have searched the town and all I could find that are familiar are those stupid creatures!"
"Calm down. Keep searching. You could find them." Cyclops told her.
"Fine, but don't think I will succeed." June said sadly. June left the District Shop in a frustrated state. "Boy, it makes me wonder if one eye can see anything from those visors of his." June fumed a bit.
"They will keep coming at you, kid." Said a voice in the shadows.
"Huh? Who said that?" June demanded, looking around.
"Psst. Up here. "June looked up and to her surprise; she sees a figure wearing a red and blue shirt with some sort of spider symbol on the front. It looks like he was designed to be a super hero or something.
"Okay, who are you?" June demands with an annoyed look. "Are you some weirdo who is dressed like that superhero Ray-Ray likes?"
"Hey, cool it, Asian girl. I just came with a warning." The man said as he jumps down. "They will keep on going after you as long as you hold that Keyblade. But why would it choose a rude kid like you, I would never understand."
"Hey, what does that supposed to mean?" June demands angrily.
The masked man sighs. "Never mind. Let me see that Keyblade."
"What are you nuts? No way!" June said shocked that someone thought she would just give it away.
"Kid, you are going to get hurt if you keep hold of that." The man warned.
"Yeah, well I may want to keep it. So get lost, freak." June refused as she got in a fighting stance.
The man behind his masks frowns. "Okay, have it your way."
The man shoots out webs from his hands. June managed to dodge them and then quickly charges at the man. The masked figure uses his agility to dodged June. June starts to try to keep up but ends up falling on her rear.
"Oh right. My powers are conked out." June said with a groan.
"You see? This makes me wonder more of why the Keyblade chose you. You are a powerless kid." The masked figure pointed out.
"I'd show you how powerless I am!" June yelled. The masked figure shoots out a web, trapping June to the ground. This made June frowns. "What are you? Some sort of spider monster?"
"Once, but I am not going into that story. That webbing is hard to get out of." Suddenly, to the figure's surprise, June uses the Keyblade to break the web, freeing her. "Okay, almost hard."
"Well, until I get them back, this is the only way to win now." June said, looking at her Keyblade.
The figure fires another web, June dodges. He keeps firing web after web and June either dodges or destroys them with the Keyblade. Finally the figure tries to fire again but to his surprise, no webs came out.
"Darn it. Out of fluid," The figure searched himself, but groans. "And I forgot to bring more web cartridges!"
"Big mistake, pal," June said with a smirk.
"Well, I'm going to rely on my strength now." June and the figure charged at each other. They made blow after blow, June using the Keyblade to get in hits on the man. Finally, after the man missed with a kick. June gave one swing with the Keyblade knocking him back.
The figure kneels to the ground. June breathed in and out. The fight has made her tired.
"Okay, buddy. Now you're going." Before June could finish, she fainted and fell to the ground.
"Well, that's one good thing for me to happen all day." The man said amused.
"You're slipping, Peter. "The man turns and sees a female costume figure like himself. Except this one has white hair, a black mask wearing a black and white type costume. With her claws, it's easy to mistake her for a cat. In fact, it looks like she dressed like one too. Whoever she is, the masked man known as Peter frowns behind his mask.
"Felicia, I thought we agreed never to slip my identity even when our world is gone." 'Peter' snapped.
'Felicia' smirks. "I supposed it never occurred to you that I was using it to tease you. Now about the girl."
"She's fine. I went easy on her." 'Peter' glares at June. "Things got even worst than I figured they be."
Ember groans as she opens her eyes. "Where…where am I?" Ember asked as she looks around. She finds herself in a dark world that seems to be used to be beautiful. She looks on ahead and sees a creepy looking castle. She approaches it. "Hey, anyone home? Hello? June? Danny?" Ember called out, concerned. Her voice echoes and that's the only thing that answers her. But someone hears her. A dark sinister looking man looking at her from the balcony above, smirking evilly…
Somewhere in town, Phil and Lil are in a scary part of town, still looking for the Keyblade master, Spider-Man, or Tommy.
"No one's around." Phil said nervously. "But this place is scary."
"Phil, you aren't Chuckie, don't be a baby." Lil said, rolling her eyes. "Besides, I'm not scared."
A finger taps Lil on the shoulder and she freaked out, grabbing onto Phil. "You were saying?" Phil said with a smirk.
"Shut up." Lil scowled.
"Excuse me?" The two turned and sees a girl with purple sunglasses on the top of her hair; she is wearing a yellow jacket with gloves and blue shorts. "Did King Tommy send you two?"
The twins looked at each other confused then nodded to the girl.
Later.
"Hey, wake up you lazy bum! Wake up!" June groans and did so. She wakes up and finds herself in a hotel room. The last thing she recalled is fainting after beating that masked man, whoever he was. "You okay?" June turned and her heart leaves for joy. In front of her is Danny!
"Yeah, I am." June said in relief.
"Those creatures that attacked you are after the Keyblade," explained Danny in a weird tone of voice. "But it's your heart they want because they feared the Keyblade."
June smiles and hugs Danny. "Oh man. I am so glad to see that you are okay, Danny." June said with a smile. To her surprise, Danny knocks her off.
"'Danny'? I am not this Danny kid!" June looks confused and rubs her eyes. When she looks again, she saw that it isn't Danny, but another costume figure, this time a female one in some sort of cat burglar like costume. The figure smirks. "I am the great Black Cat."
"'Black Cat'? As in the bad luck black cat," June asked.
"Yes." The Black Cat then turned to someone in the shadows. "I think you hit her too hard, Peter."
"I told you! Never use my true identity!" June turned and is surprised to see the masked figure who attacked earlier coming out of the shadows. "It's Spider-Man!"
"You again," June asked angrily. "Is this a kidnapping?" June looks around and sees that the Keyblade is gone. "It must be! My Keyblade is gone!"
"Yes, we have to take it away because that is the only way those creatures were tracking you." The Black Cat then points to a table, where the Keyblade is now.
The figure known as Spider-Man explains. "You see, kid, we did to keep your heart concealed from them. But it won't work for long." Spider-Man, behind his mask, frowns.
"But I still can't believe it has chosen you a kid of all people!"
"Aw, you are just jealous." The Black Cat smirks. She turns to June, who quip an eyebrow. "He's accused of being a menace back home and he thinks the Keyblade should go to him so he can be labeled a hero."
Spider-Man takes the Keyblade. It suddenly disappeared from his hands back into June's. "Well, we can't always be lucky." Spider-Man with a shrug,
"Okay, can someone please start making sense? What's going on?" June demands.
Back with the twins, the girl, known as Jubilee, speaks. "Okay, by now, you know that there are other worlds besides your castle and this town, right?" Jubilee asked.
"Duh," Lil remarked, rolling her eyes.
"But aren't they a secret?" Phil asked puzzled.
"They were because they were never connected." Jubilee's tone changed to sadness. "But when the Heartless came, all is changed forever."
June looks astonished at Spider-Man and Black Cat's explanation. "'The Heartless'," June asked astonished.
"They try to attack you, remember?" The Black Cat said, reminding June. June cringes.
"They are those without hearts." Spider-Man continued. "The darkness in people's hearts, that's what they want and are attracted to, and I don't mean in a romantic way!" The girls chuckled at this. "There is darkness in every heart."
June paused to think about what he said. Could it be that there's darkness in her heart?
The Black Cat spoke up. "Tell me, did you ever hear of a man named Magneto?"
"'Magneto'? Who's that?" Phil asked puzzled.
"He's the master of magnetism and sometimes enemy of ours." Jubilee explains. "But recently he was researching on the Heartless, trying to help keep all Mutants from being hurt by any more anti-mutant racism. He wrote what he found in his report."
"Any chance we could see it? I bet there are some cool stuff in there." Phil asked.
"I don't think so." Jubilee said with a frown. "They are scattered everywhere."
"Scattered?" Lil asked.
"Too many worlds." Jubilee answered.
Phil turned to his sister. "Hey, I bet Tommy is looking for them, to help end this Heartless thing."
"That is what I suspected." Jubilee said nodding.
"We got to find him!" Phil exclaimed.
"We have to find whoever got that 'key' first." Lil reminded her brother.
"The Keyblade, right?" Jubilee said with a smile.
"Keyblade, that's this, right?" June said pointing at her new weapon.
"Yes." The Black Cat confirmed.
"The Heartless fear it because it's the best thing that could destroy them. That's why they will keep going after you, no matter what." Spider-Man said grave fully.
"I didn't want this!" June protested. "I was pretty fine doing my, uh, normal things until this happens!" June is not sure if she could tell them about her Te Xuan Ze job. In case the Elders are somehow listening.
"Unfortunately, the Keyblade chooses it master. Right now, it chose you." The Black Cat said.
"Tough luck." Spider-Man said leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
"Great, of all the luck. It's bad enough I have to keep my 'secret' from my friends, but now I'm not only powerless, I'm struck with a powerful weapon with creeps going after me at every turn. I remember being in my room." June then looked shock as she remembers what happened. "Wait! What about to my home? Orchid Bay? Mom? Dad? Ray-Ray? Monroe? Dennis. Maybe. Jodi? Ophelia? Roger, also maybe. Ah Mah? Ember? And." She said the last part softly and sadly. "Danny?"
"You know what? I really don't know." Spider-Man said with a sigh.
"Now what?" June said with a sigh.
"The Heartless will find you eventually. You'd better get ready." Spider-Man told her.
"Ready for what?" June asked.
"For a fight of your life, duh! Are you up for it?" he asked.
June pauses to think. "Ready to get revenge for what those creeps did to my friends and home?" June smirks devilishly as she holds up the Keyblade. "You're darn right I'm ready!"
Spider-Man smiles under his mask then turned to the Black Cat. "Black Cat, let's go find Jubilee. She should be here with the other visitors by now."
"Spider-Man!" Black Cat shrieked.
Suddenly a Heartless jumps into the room through a window, breaking it, and growls angrily. It looked like same one that transformed from that man's heart earlier.
"A Soldier Heartless. Great. Get going, Black Cat!" Spider-Man ordered his friend. The Black Cat nodded and runs out of the door. After opening the door, she is unaware that she flattens a girl between the door and wall. She didn't Jubilee was nearby.
"Black Cat," Jubilee asked, surprised.
Jubilee follows the Black Cat, forgetting her visitors.
Back inside, the Spider-Man filled his web shooters (what he shoots his webs out of) then turns to June who readies her Keyblade.
"Ready?" Spider-Man asked.
"Ready." June said with a smirk.
Spider-Man then shoots a web at the Soldier Heartless. He then jumps up and kicks the thing out of the window. Spider-Man jumps out of the window after it.
"Man, I wish I could still do that." June complained. Needless to say, June makes the beeline for the first floor and outside.
Outside the room, Phil opens the door, releasing Lil who is flattened like a pancake.
"Wow. You're flattened like a pancake." joke Phil.
"I swear, I'm going get you for that joke." Lil said with a groan.
In the alley
"June!" yelled the Spider-Man as he dodges a Shadow Heartless's attack. "Ignore the small fry! Go for the leader!"
"Right. These guys bored me anyway." June agreed. She managed to dodge more of the Heartless's attacks and heads off to find said leader.
Phil and Lil's search led them to the rooftops. They are jumped on roof to each roof and avoid falling. They soon landed on a rooftop near an area of the Third District. Phil notices an Asian girl running into the area. Before he could say anything, a Shadow and Soldier appeared.
"Are these the Heartless?" Phil yelped getting his soccer ball up.
"Who do you think these goons are? Mom? Let's get them!" Lil ordered.
The two charged at the Heartless but the Heartless are too quick for them. The Heartless then grabs the twins and threw them off the roof. June hears screaming and looked up. She failed to get out of the way in time as a pair of twins fell on her, knocking her down.
"Who is throwing twins on me?" June groaned.
Phil and Lil groaned a bit. But then they see some sort of key like weapon in June's hands.
"The Key," The twins said at once as they got off June.
"Thanks." June remarked as she got back up. "Who are you two?"
Before Phil and Lil could respond, the Heartless Soldiers appeared out of nowhere.
"I think we better fight more and talk less later," Lil suggested getting her Cynthia doll out.
Soon another fight breaks out, this time June has new allies by her side. As she destroyed a Heartless with the Keyblade, she notices the girl using her doll as a magic shooter to send down fire at the Heartless. The boy uses his ball to block before hitting them with attacks. Within minutes, the Heartless are destroyed.
"Oh yeah! Who's the man?" June exclaimed excited.
"Well, that's…" Before Lil could finish, walls appeared blocking all exits out of the alley. Suddenly, the three looked up just in time to see something coming out of the sky. It landed. The figure itself is a Heartless that is an armored type with claws and big feet. This Heartless is known as the Guard Armor.
"Uh." Lil said scared.
"Not again!" groaned June.
The Guard Armor roared and fired a blast at June. Luckily Phil jumps in with a scream and kicks his soccer ball so it would hit the blast.
"We'll back you up!" Lil exclaimed to June.
"So let's fight together!" Phil agreed.
'Is it just me or did he sound like Ray-Ray?' June thought looking at Phil. But nevertheless, June nodded and the three began the fight.
The Guard Armor fires another shot that severely injured June.
"Ugh!" groaned June.
"Don't give up!" yelled Lil giving a potion to June.
June is suddenly cured of her injury. "Thanks!" June called out to Lil.
June then jumped out and hits the torso many times with the Keyblade. Phil and Lil concentrated on attacking the feet. The Guard Armor at one time knocked the three back but they got up and resumed battle.
Finally after so many blows. "Here's the...final blow!" June yelled as she swiped the Guard Armor straight through the middle. The Guard Armor roared in pain and begins to crack up. June, Phil, and Lil watch as the Guard Armor's cracking up. Then the Heartless collapses, destroying it. The three heroes cheered for their victory. Soon after the fight, a heart came out of the Guard Armor and disappears. June notices a strange looking accessory and picked it up.
Later
"So let me get this straight, you two are looking for me?" June asked the twins.
"Yep," Phil and Lil said at once.
"That's right, kid." June looked and sees Spider-Man arriving with the Black Cat and Jubilee. "They are also looking for the one who holds the key."
"So how about you come with us?" Phil asked excited. "We got this big ship which we can used to go to different places! It's going to be awesome!"
June chuckled a bit. The boy does remind her of Ray-Ray now that she thinks of it. Then she looks sad and speaks. "I wonder if I could be able to find Ember and Danny."
"Of course you can! I promise." Lil insisted.
Phil looked in doubt then whispered to Lil. "You're sure about that?"
"What do I know? But we need her to come with us to find Tommy." Lil whispered back.
"June, go with them." Spider-Man said to a still depressed June. "You can find your friends with their help."
"Yeah, I guess." June said with a sigh.
"One thing though." Lil said with a frown. "No sad faces, got it? You can't go with us if you're sad. Understand?"
"Yeah! You got to be funny like us!" Phil said, making a funny face. Lil rolls her eyes and pushed Phil away.
"This ship runs on happy faces." Lil resumes.
"So happy, huh?" June said interested. "Like this?" June then smiles a big smile. Problem is, she smiled too widely and it looked ridiculous. Phil and Lil stared for a bit then laughed their heads off.
"That's hilarious! You'd fit right in with that face!" Phil said, laughing hardly.
"Okay, why not?" June said. "I'd go with you two."
Phil and Lil smiled at each other. Lil then puts her hands out. "Lil Deville." Lil said, introducing herself.
"Her brother, Phil," Phil said, putting his hand on Lil's.
"Juniper Lee but called me June." Juniper said, putting her hand on the twins'.
"All for one, one for all!" said the three altogether.
Meanwhile in a dark room elsewhere, a sinister group of creatures and people are watching everything via holographic imagery. The first to speak was a chalk creature that looked like a blue potato bug with a missing limb and crooked teeth.
"Who would've thought that a non chalk wielder could defeat that heartless like that?" asked Skrawl, a citizen of ChalkZone.
Next to him was a white haired man wearing small nose glasses purple shirt under a dark jurian robe.
"Something puzzles me. How could that mere earthling take down that heartless?" asked the galactic terrorist, Kagato.
Beside him was a monkey creature with a glass helmet on his head, and wore a purple suit with a belt, white gloves and boots, and a dark cape.
"The girls own strength didn't matter. The Keyblade gave her untapped skill that she could only wish of having. And gave the strength of the Powerpuff Girls!" explained Mojo Jojo, an enemy of the Powerpuff Girls.
A red haired girl wearing a green short shirt and black pants spoke next.
"Why don't we just turn that twerp into a heartless? Or better yet, let me sick my Vicky robot on her," suggested Vicky, Dimmsdale's resident evil baby sitter, "That could make things easier for us."
A blue digital looking creature with red spikes on his head and gold rings around his shoulders, arms plus a green symbol on each side of his muscular chest looked at the image of the heroes.
"And the brats friends are no more than King Tommy's servants," the evil virus Megabyte pointed out, "They look like ordinary preteens by look of those humanoids."
A short scientist wearing a white lab coat, safety glasses and black boots and gloves laughed at him.
"Excuse me, but you're no, um…uh…oh…spring chicken yourself!" cackled Professor Calamitous, the genius who could never finish anything.
"Shut up!" Megabyte threatened.
"That's enough out of all you!" yelled a voice. A tall, bald, very dark skinned man wearing a business suit stepped into the room. It was Lex Luthor, leader of Lexcorp, "The fact remains the Keyblade chose the young lady. Will it be her who conquers the darkness? Or will the darkness swallow the Te Xuan Ze whole? Either way, she could make herself useful."
Back at Traverse Town, June is all excited.
"Man, this is cool!" June said excited. "Not only can I find my friends, I get to go to other worlds as well! Let's go!"
"Hold it. Before we go, we got to tell you the rules." Lil interrupted. "Like we can't tell anyone that we aren't from their world."
"Why not?" June asked puzzled.
"We got to protect the world border." Phil said.
"Order!" snapped Lil.
"Those Heartless went and disrupted the order." Spider-Man said. "You got to do something about them! Make sure you're prepared. We don't know how far they spread."
"Check out the shops before you go. There's some great stuff here." The Black Cat added.
"Take this as a gift." Jubilee said, giving 100 cash to June.
"And here's gift from Spider-Man." The Black Cat said handing a bottle to June.
"What's this?" June asked looking the bottle.
"An Elixir. It fully restores both HP and MP for one of you. Use it because I don't want to see someone hurt, okay?" Jubilee explained.
"Good luck and coming from a Black Cat, it sounds unusual." The Black Cat with a smirk.
"Look out for each other and keep your spirits up." Spider-Man said.
June, Phil, and Lil nodded and left, getting ready for their adventure.
The three, after shopping for items and supplies (especially stopping at the Accessory Shop for some items), arrives at a gate.
"Okay, our jet should be out there." Lil said pointing to the Reptar Jet.
"Man, that looked like a dinosaur crossed over with a spaceship!" June said amazed.
"Wait 'till you see it." Phil said with a smile.
"Before we go in, take this. "Lil then casts a spell on June. The Te Xuan Ze looked puzzled.
"Okay, what's that supposed to do?" June asked.
"Just say Fire." Lil instructed. June looks skeptic but does so anyway, but to her surprise, she shoots out a fireball.
"I finally do magic! All right," June cheered excited.
"Now you can use it like I can. Phil, give her that other thing." Lil said to her bro.
"What thing?" Phil asked puzzled.
"Ugh, don't tell me you forgot that thing! Give her the dodge roll ability!" She said in a 'you know' kind of voice.
"Oh yeah!" Phil realized.
"'Dodge Roll?'" June asked.
"Sure! It helps dodges attack by rolling!" Phil explained. "Let me give you it!" After a while or so, June learned the Dodge Roll. "The abilities can do some cool things! We should keep an eye out for them along the way!" Phil said excited.
"Yeah, yeah. Sure. Can we go?" June asked impatiently.
"Are we ready yet?" Lil asked.
"YES!" June and Phil yelled at once.
Navi observed this scene from inside the Reptar Jet. She smiles. "Well, they are definitely going to have adventures along the way. I should keep track of it all in a journal." Navi said. She goes over to an empty journal nearby and begins to write (how? I do not know).
They were about to leave, but Lil looks at June for a second and stops everyone, "Wait a minute!" everyone stopped and turned to her, "I like 1997, too, but this isn't going to be a trip to the mall! I mean no offence, but you might turn a few heads on the runway for all the wrong reasons."
June looks herself over and comments, "What's wrong with the way I'm dressed?"
Phil looks around and spots a clothing store near by that was open, "Okay, okay. Let's get off the street and find a change of clothes. Each of us could use them. Ours got ripped from the fight with that armor Heartless and you're not even wearing any shoes! Boy, do they reek!"
June looks down and, sure enough, she was bear foot. She must of lost her shoes when she got into town, "I agree. My feet hurt."
"I hope you didn't step in anything," Phil said uncharacteristically disgusted.
"I don't think so," June said, "Alright! Let's get some new clothes before we go."
They walked over to the store and stepped inside. It looked a normal retail store except filled more martial arts outfits than anything else. All other clothing was in the back, though.
"I guess this is what happens when T.J. Maxx opens up a karate school," June joked.
They heard a noise in the back room and a voice yelled out, "Pan!"
"Pan?" Phil asked puzzled. Then he smirked, "Either that was someone's pet or a pan is made that noise! Ta, ha, ha, ha!"
All of a sudden a small girl with black hair and wearing an orange outfit ran by at super lighting speed leaving Lil to ask, "Who was that? Dash from the Incredible's?"
A young man with black hair that looked very built and wore a blue suit with a red sash ran up stopped in front of them, "Pan, stop fooling around! This a retail store a running track!"
"Catch me, dad! Catch me!" the girl encouraged.
"I don't have time Super Sayian freeze tag right now!" the man disagreed.
"Who would name their daughter Pan?" June asked Lil.
"I don't even want to know," Lil said feeling weird about the whole thing, "Um, excuse me?"
The man all of a sudden went from an annoyed father to a happy salesman, "Hi! How may I help you?" this made the others back up nervously.
The man rubbed the back of his head, "Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."
They calmed down and June said, "It's nothing major. I'm June and these are my friends Phil and Lil."
"I'll be with you in just a minute," the man then whistled to the back room for someone, "Videl! Would you calm our daughter before she runs through ladies lingerie?" the girl ran by with a bra strapped to her head like a helmet. The man shrugged saying, "Too late."
A young woman with black hair and wearing a white sleeveless shirt over a dark blue t-shirt, black pants and green sneakers came out and said, "Come to you're mother," the girl giggled as she ran up in her mothers arms and got picked up.
"Why is she running around like this?" the man asked.
"Would you believe I gave her a chocolate bar?" Videl said sheepishly.
"How did she get fed sugar?" the man demanded.
"She has you're appetite you know," Videl pointed out.
"True," the man turned to June and Co. "Anyway, my name's Gohan. And you already met my wife and daughter," the girls waved, "What can I do for you?"
"Just looking for a new wardrobe. That's all," Lil told him.
"Help yourself," Gohan said leading the way. As he shows them the store, he remembers something, "Wait. You two are from that kingdom far away, right?"
Lil tried to find the right words, "Well, I…"
"Why do you ask?" Phil asked him.
"I've seen you around town," Gohan pointed out. The twins looked at each other in relief, "Well, don't tell the wife I'm doing this, but I'll make you a deal. The first outfit and shoe combo you want will be free."
"Perfect! Come on, June," And Lil pulled June to the dressing room. She tries different assortments of outfits on June, but nothing works, "No, no, no! Nothing fits for you! How could I, the queens royal designer in addition to wizard, fail so miserably?"
Phil comforts her sister, "There, there, sis," he said patting her back.
June let out an irritated sigh and ripped off her new outfit (Minds out of the gutters dudes, she still has her normal outfit on), "I don't even want to change my outfit! I tell you what, how about keep my regular clothes on and…" she puts on a blue jean jacket, "add this?"
Lil looks it over and gasps with enthusiasm, "That's it! It's perfect! Simple yet effective."
"Great, now try the shoes," Phil pulled out ones that looked big and yellow (A/N: They're Sora's shoes from the original Kingdom Hearts)
"Those big things?" June asked in surprise.
"I think it'll be the only size eight's we'll find in this or any other world," Phil pointed out. (A/N: They will be)
June puts on the shoes and after she ties them up, walks around in them to get a feel to them, "I feel like Mickey Mouse," she commented.
Gohan walked up and said, "You'll get used to them. Okay, June, yours are free, and the twins outfits will be thirty dollars on clearance."
"That's a good deal," Lil nodded. (A/N: she and Phil are wearing their outfits from the All Grown Up pilot. If you don't remember those outfits, do an image google search)
After paying Gohan and saying their goodbyes, June's group boarded the Reptar Jet.
"Ah. Now this is paradise!" June commented. She pushed a button with an elbow and a Coke popped out, "No more annoying monsters, no more school, and no more job," her smile turns into a frown however, "And no more family to tell me to love me, and no more of my mom's meals, and no more friends to hang out with…and no Ray-Ray to make me laugh," tears started to come down her face. Phil and Lil quickly took notice.
"June, you're crying. What's the matter?" Phil asked concerned.
"I just realized how much I miss my home already," she sniffed, "I don't know if I'll ever see it again."
Lil wiped away her tears and smiled at her, "That's why we're here. That's part of the deal. Help us find our king and we'll help you find you're friends and get back home, okay?" June nodded, "And remember, no frowning or sad faces."
June took a sip of her drink and smiled again, "You're right guys. Let's get ready for take off!"
Over the intercom was Angelica speaking, "Attention passengers, please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts as we will be ready for departure in sixty seconds. Ugh, this so not worth eight bucks an hour."
"Angelica, you got to take you're hand off the intercom," Susie said.
"Aw. Dog gone it!" she exclaimed. Everyone fastened their seatbelts and the ship took off into the regions of inter-space.
June looked out the window in amazement at sights and wonders, "Cool," she commented. After about half an hour, they came to the first world.
Okay, now with that over, Key18 will write the next chapter. See you all later!
