Chapter 2: Enter Auron

Sora was getting ready in the Fenton's bathroom.

Today wasn't only the day of the dance, but it was also the last day Mr. and Mrs. Fenton was in town.

The Fentons, Donald and Goofy were waiting in the kitchen.

Sora exited the bathroom in the tux.

He went down the stairs to see everyone in conversation.

They all looked up when he reached the base of the stairs.

"Lookin' sharp Sora," Goofy said.

"Thanks," Sora replied straightening his collar.

"Don't look so nervous Sora, you gotta loosen up," Jack said putting his hand on his shoulder.

"I know Mr. Fenton, thanks," Sora said.

Sora left with Danny to pick up their dates.

Sora went up to Sam's house and knocked on the door.

Sam opened the door and she was in the most beautiful dress.

Danny looked up the stairs, "Wow Sam, that's unlike you, actually wearing a dress."

Sora extended his arm, "Shall we?"

Sam took his arm, "Yes, let's," Sam replied.


Danny and Valerie arrived about 3 minutes later than Sora and Sam.

"Let's go!" Valerie said.

Danny was on her heels.

The couple saw Sam and Sora.

"Hey, Valerie!" Star said.

"Oh, Hi," Valerie replied.

"Have you seen Sam's date!" Star asked.

"Sam has a date?" Valerie asked.

"Yeah, He's with her now, see? The major hottie standing next to her," Start pointed across the room to Sora.

Star went all googly-eyed watching Sora.

Valerie grabbed Danny, "Let's ditch her before she stops day dreaming," Valerie said.

Then the D.J. started playing the M.C. Hammer's "Can't Touch This".

Sora went up to Sam.

"May I have this dance?" Sora asked.

Sam chuckled, "O.K. but…"

"No need to say anything, just follow my lead," Sora said.

Sora and Sam ran out to the empty dance floor and started to dance.

Sam started to get into it, her and Sora started bustin' moves all over the place. The crowd started cheering the couple on.

Danny looked to the dance floor and saw Sam and Sora on the dance floor.

Valerie was curious at what Danny was watching.

She looked over the crowd and saw Sam and Sora.

Valerie got Star's attention, "Hey, check it out, your 'Major hottie' is also a great dancer."

Star looked over the crowd and saw what Valerie was talking about.

The song ended and Sam and Sora ended up back-to-back breathing heavily.

The crowd cheered and the couple bowed.

Sam and Sora sat back down exhausted.

"Wow, you're good," Sora said through gasps of air.

"You're not too bad yourself," Sam said.

Suddenly Sora heard someone scream and Valerie was running from a Heartless.

Sora looked to Sam and she nodded.

Sora pulled out the Keyblade and leapt over Valerie.

He slashed the Armored Knight Heartless to pieces.

"Thanks," Valerie said.

"Don't thank me yet, those things always travel in troops," Sora said, "Go and take cover."

Danny ran into the Boy's bathroom and transformed. He flew next to Sora.

"Need some help?" Danny asked.

Suddenly, before Sora could reply, a group of at least 100 armored knights crashed through the ceiling. Sora looked to Danny and smirked.

Danny and Sora charged in different directions.

They started to destroy the Heartless until the Heartless stopped their assault.

Phantom floated through the huge gaping hole in the ceiling with Donald and Goofy bound in chains.

"Donald! Goofy!" Sora yelled.

Danny took out the Thermos and turned invisible.

He flew directly behind Phantom. Danny placed the Thermos directly behind Phantom's head and tapped him on the shoulder.

Phantom turned around just as Danny turned on the Thermos.

"What! NO!" Phantom managed to yell out before being sucked in.

"What the! How did you defeat him so easily?" Sora asked.

"Simple, Phantom's basically a ghost and I caught him in the Fenton Thermos," Danny explained.

The Armored Knights retreated and Sora put away the Keyblade. Danny flew away to change back.

Sora ran back to Sam who was almost killed by an Armored Knight, "You O.K?" Sora asked.

"Yeah I'm fine," Sam said.

Sora helped her up.

A slow song started playing.

"The D.J.'s still playing, and there's enough time for one more dance," Sam said.

"Gladly," Sora said offering her his hand.

She took it and the two danced the night away.

Danny was already leaving with Valerie.

'Clueless,' Sora thought when he saw Danny and Valerie leaving.


Ansem watched from the roof, "Damn that Phantom, I bring him back and he gets himself captured."

"Well why don't you let me get someone to kill Sora for you," someone said from behind Ansem.

"Hades, so nice of you to show yourself," Ansem said without turning around.

In a poof of smoke the Lord of the Dead appeared.

"So what do ya say?" Hades asked putting his arm around Ansem's shoulder.

"Do as you wish," Ansem said leaping off into the night.

Hades chuckled and vanished into a puff of smoke.


The next day Danny, Sam, Tucker, Sora, Donald and Goofy were hanging out at the Nasty Burger having lunch when a poof of smoke appeared behind Sora.

"Hiya sport, it's been a while," Hades said patting Sora on the back nearly causing Sora to choke on his Nasty Burger.

"Hades, what are you doing here?" Sora coughed.

"Oh, just the usual, trying to send you to the underworld, etc, etc," Hades said.

Sora pulled out the Keyblade.

Hades snapped his fingers and a warrior appeared in front of Hades. He was clad in a red coat, his left arm slung in his sleeve wielding a large katana.

"Auron defeat them!" Hades yelled.

"Auron!" Sora exclaimed.

Auron turned around, "Hades, you still don't understand, this is MY story, you're not part of it," Auron said with a hint of cockiness in his voice.

"Have you forgotten who you're talking to! I'm the Lord of the Dead!" Hades yelled.

Auron leaned back slightly, "See kids this is why you don't want to die, cause you'll have to deal with him for all eternity," Auron said causing the six of them to chuckle under their breath.

Hades whole body was engulfed in flames, "You're fired!" he yelled as he rushed at Auron.

Auron parried his attack and pushed him away.

"Run!" Auron ordered.

The kids didn't hesitate they ran for it with Auron right on their tail.


Sora took a 2x4 and jammed it into the door handle.

"Is he gone?" Danny asked.

"Don't count on it," Auron said.

Hades appeared next to Sora. Sora jumped back, "Leaving so soon?" Hades asked.

A whole group of Heartless appeared and surrounded the group.

Danny hid behind Sam and Tucker and transformed.

Sora and Auron took care of the Heartless in a string of combo moves.

"Let's go!" Sora said grabbing Sam and placing her on his back.

Auron grabbed Tucker and put him under his arm.

They both took off at top speed. Danny grabbed Donald and Goofy and took off like a rocket.


"I think we lost him," Sora said on the curb gasping for breath.

Auron walked up to him, "Getting a little rusty?" Auron asked smirking.

Sora sat up, "You wish!"

Auron helped Sora up.

"Here they come!" Sam called to Sora and Auron.

They looked in her direction and she was pointing to a huge army of Armored Knights.

"There's gotta be 5000 of them!" Tucker exclaimed taking off like a coward.

"Wait who's that fighting the front lines of Heartless?" Auron asked.

Danny looked close, "Mom! Dad!" he exclaimed.

He went in to help and Auron was right behind him. Sora stopped next to Donald and Goofy, "Any Heartless get by us keep them away from Sam, got it?" Sora said.

"No problem Sora!" Goofy said.

Sora joined Auron and they were beside an exhausted Mr. and Mrs. Fenton.

"We'll take it from here," Sora said drawing the Keyblade.

"Sora you ready?" Auron asked.

"Always!" Sora replied.

The two charged into the army.

Sora and Auron took care of half of them before falling with exhaustion.

Danny flew in overhead and started blasting the remainder of the army with his Ecto-blasts.

The rest of the Heartless vanished.

"Thanks Danny," Sora said.

Danny just flew off.

"What did I say?" Sora asked.

Donald and Goofy shrugged.


Danny was on a rooftop looking to the stars.

'How come I didn't see it sooner?' Danny thought, 'I should have known Sam liked me ever since the first battle with Ember.'

"Wanting to get back at Sora?" a voice asked.

"Who's there?" Danny asked sitting up.

He saw someone that looked like a witch of some kind. She had a headdress that looked like a pair of horns. She was accompanied by what looked like a living burlap sack with a face cut into it.

"Open your heart to darkness and there's nothing you can't do," the stranger said, "Let your anger, jealousy and hatred fill every part of your being!"

"Ya gotta take a chance with darkness," the creature next to the witch said.

"Not interested," Danny said flying.

"So what now Maleficent?" the creature asked.

"Patience, Oogie Boogie, we need to wear his will down first," Maleficent said.


Danny flew back to his house and noticed everyone asleep. He went to his own room thinking about Sam.

"Maybe she went to the dance with Sora to prove a point or somethin' yeah, that's gotta be it," Danny thought aloud.

Hades appeared on the roof, "Hey Maleficent, want me to take care of that kid for ya?" he asked.

"No, I need him alive," Maleficent said.

"I know, I meant do you want me to take care of him, as in wear him down," Hades said.

"Do as you wish," Maleficent said.

Hades disappeared after that.

"Oogie," Maleficent called.

"Yes?" he asked.

"When Hades fails I want you to take care of that Danny boy," Maleficent said.

"Can do!" Oogie said, "They don't call me the Oogie Boogie man for nothing, I can make the kid so miserable he'll be like putty in your hands," Oogie waddled off laughing hysterically.
