CHAPTER 02
HOLLOW BASTION
"Ugh….what happened?" a confused and sleepy Rad murmured, lying next to a spire.
A blonde girl in a blue and white dress giggled. "You're a silly bloke. Hi! My name's Alice!"
Rad groaned. His back ached…he's have to ask his dad about it back at the base.
"Wait…this isn't High Desert…" Rad said in amazement.
Alice giggled again. "No, silly! This is Hollow Bastion! Don't you know that?"
"Right…" Rad muttered, getting up and shaking his arms therapeutically.
"You absolutely have to watch out for those mean old Heartless though. They're the worst!" Alice cautioned.
"Great…Say, did you see anyone else around here?" Rad started. "You know, someone new or different? Maybe a little guy with bat wings…Yea high?"
Alice shook her head. "Sorry!"
Rad sighed. This was going to be a long day…

DARK AREA
Maleficent smiled. Things were going very well and according to plan.
"I don't get it…why did the bat get a Keyblade?" Ursula, the Sea Witch snarled.
Maleficent smiled in a hollow grin. "Because it seems that someone of Pure Heart has come into the picture. Excellent…it seems that this buffoon is even more incompetent than Sora…"
Hades stood up quickly and angrily. "WHAT!" His fiery hair and torso burst into flame, then calmed down a little. "Let me get this straight…we have not one, but TWO keyblades running around screwing everything up!"
"This is unacceptable…" Jafar's voice hissed.
"I don't think you fools remember who is the boss, now do you?" A deep voice snarled.
The villains all turned to look at a man with white hair.
"Sorry…Lord Ansem…" Jafar squeaked.
"And do not forget our deal, Heartless!" A second deep voice announced.
From the dark came what looked to be a fallen angel. This was because it was.
"Sander, so good of you to drop by." Maleficent said tonelessly.
Sander looked at the screen. "Something's wrong!" He boomed.
All the villains tensed.
"The boy…has no keyblade!" Sander roared, throwing his fist back into a chair. "THEN WHO DOES!"
The mirror refocused on another small male…the form of the sleeping Archangel Ben.
Sander's panicked face broke out into a grin. And from there, burst a fountain of laughs.
"THIS IS PERFECT! MY REVENGE ON THAT BLASTED ARCHANGEL WILL BE COMPLETE!"
Ansem bristled a bit. "We have much work to do, then."
Sander then turned, and looked serious. "Right."

NEVERLAND
Carlos woke up to see that he was tied to the mast…of a floating Pirate ship. And all he could think of were lame pirate jokes.
Looking at the fat, old pirate next to him, he let some loose.
"YARGH! WHERE'S ME BOOTY!" he said.
The pirate turned and looked at him sideways, forcing himself not to laugh.
Then, he noticed the girl tied up next to him. Again, he could not keep a lame joke inside.
"YARGH! YE HAVE A FIRM BOOTY!"
Despite her being tied up, she still seemed to be able to kick his butt. Literally.
"OW! What! It was a compliment, YARGH!"
KICK!
"YARGH!"
Now the fat pirate was in hysterics…
-
OLYMPUS COLISEUM
Alexis was already awake upon her arrival. It seemed that she matched this world perfectly.
Already she had met the satyr, Phil, and gotten a hero license. So, she decided to try a tournament.
Unfortunately, she didn't know how to fight the heartless.
-
She walked into the arena, holding a mace firmly in her left hand. Listening carefully, she could hear her opponents creeping up behind her. With a flick of the wrist, a Guard Armor lost its head, and dropped.
With a snarl, Shadows surrounded Alexis, who smiled evilly and jumped out of the circle they made around her.
"Starscream!" She yelled, grasping the gem he had given her. From the Gem came a beam, which stopped about 100ft above the center of the ring when it burst, and out of that burst came Starscream, fully equipped.
"You called?" He said sarcastically, putting Alexis on his shoulder.
The Heartless stood dumbfounded, but the Shadows recovered first and grouped together to make a larger shadow, one almost Starscream's size.
"Heh, they think themselves to be a challenge!" Starscream spat, drawing the Star Saber.
The shadow backed up, but it was too late. With a swift motion, Starscream split the shadow beast in half. He turned away in the same motion, to hear the explosion.
He snorted. "Alexis, don't summon me next time unless it's a challenge."
He didn't see the blindside from the re-formed beast. In an instant he was on the ground.
"STARSCREAM!" Alexis cried…
-
ATLANTICA
Mohenjo, the Black Knight, wasn't sure where he was as he awakened groggily.
"Ugh….what hit me?" he muttered, checking his hands.
All of a sudden, he realized that he couldn't feel his legs.
In a panic, he glanced down and saw that he was now a Mer-Knight, as opposed to his normal self.
"What in Blazes!" he hissed. He tried to run forward, but just did the aquatic equivalent of tripping over one's self.
He tried again and again to get up…but it wasn't working.
"I'll never give up!" He snarled.
-
About three hours later, he did indeed give up.
"I wonder if my half-snake brother Kijin feels like this, having no legs and all. If I had a clue of where I was, I'd contact the old bastard." He muttered
"WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE, MON!" A Jamaican- like voice chided loudly.
Mohenjo looked around everywhere, but couldn't see anything but a little crab. He drew his twin katana.
"Where are you? I don't trust anyone I can't see!" Mohenjo snarled.
The crab promptly pinched his nose. "Come on Mon, I'm right here!"
Mohenjo's eyes bulged. "A talking crab…what'aya know…" he muttered before fainting.
Sebastian, the crab, shook his head. "Dis is pretty sad, mon. He doesn't even tink I can talk."
"AAAGH! A TALKING CRAB!" An orange clownfish yelled, then swam away as he could.
"Is it something in de water?" Sebastian pondered. A dark thought came upon him.
"De King's not gonna be happy if dis guy's an Outsider…I'd better keep him away from Ariel…"
"Keep who from me, Sebastian?" Ariel, the Sea King's daughter, said, as she popped up from behind Sebastian.
If possible, the crab turned even redder than usual.
"Ah….crud. You have to keep it a secret, A-riel! Do you Understand?" Sebastian hissed.
Ariel nodded, then looked at what Sebastian was hanging onto by his left claw.
"SEBASTIAN, THAT'S A MER-BOY! LET HIM GO!" Ariel near-shouted.
"SHH! I tink he's not from around here. He fainted when I talked to him, mon!" Sebastian protested.
Ariel folded her arms angrily. "Then that's NO WAY to treat guests! Come on, I'll take him to the palace."
"OH MAN! I'M GONNA BE CRAB CAKES FOR SURE DIS TIME!"
-
TRAVERSE TOWN
This time, Eris could feel herself being shaken awake.
"WAKE UP! WHERE ARE DONALD AND GOOFY! WHO ARE YOU!" The boy who looked a little like Ben was yelling at Eris, who smacked him in the face to get him off.
"I'm not a morning person!" She snarled.
"Where's my keyblade!" The boy asked.
"How in Blazes should I know!" Eris hissed.
"You brought me here!" the boy, Sora, said defiantly.
Eris shook her head. "All I remember was…um….OH CRAP, Where are the others!" she panicked.
Sora looked around. "Nobody here but us. Even Cid's gone."
"What was that, Sora!" A blonde man who looked like he was both Japanese and out of a Western/Sci-Fi snarled.
Eris scratched her head. "This is probably Ben's fault…" She sighed.
"That's a maybe! HI ERIS! IT'S ME, THE SMARTEST SHARK IN TOWN!" A voice called from a ways away.
Eris smacked her forehead. "Oh no…it's Skybyte…"
