-The Calling of the Souls-
Sora looked around, and blasted another three heartless with his keyblade. "Dang!" He yelled. "Do these things ever end?"
"Just keep going, Sora!" A white duck yelled. Donald was shooting Firaga at a few other heartless.
"A-hyuck, relax, Donald," Goofy called over. "We can do this if we just work together." He threw his shield at a nobody and ran back to Donald. "Say Donald, what's that weird light over there?"
"Donald! Goofy! Look ou-" Sora started to shout, but was cut off as the whole world fell out from under him.

A swipe of the cane, and a priceless vase was on his back. "Bentley, where are we with the security systems?"
"Almost there, Sly," A nasal voice answered.
"Hey, what's this button do?"
SLAP
"Don't touch anything, Murray!"
"Sorry, Bentley,"
Sly smiled and shook his head. Suddenly, he saw movement off to his right.
"Freeze, Cooper!" A fox in a police uniform and a shock pistol ran towards him.
"Ah," Sly began, beginning to run. "Inspector Fox, looking as good and attractive as ever." He noticed a white light over to his left. Maybe it's police lights, he thought.
"Cut the flirty chit-chat and fr-" Carmelita Fox never got far enough to finish her threat, and her world disappeared.

A girl of 19 walked slowly toward a beast that was snarling at her. "Gunner!" She yelled. She suddenly changed outfits and got two pistols. She quickly disposed of the beast.
"Y, within sight range of the sphere. All clear," She whispered into a small microphone. She walked over to the sphere and picked it up. Two more girls of about the same age ran up to her.
"All right, Yunnie!" The blonde-haired one cheered.
The one with brownish-black hair and a said, "Are you a sphere hunter or a cheerleader?"
"Calm down you two," Yuna said. "Paine, I'll need you to keep us covered." Then she turned to the blonde. "Rikku, contact Brother and tell him to bring the ship here." Yuna pushed a strand a brown hair out of her face. Being the leader was fun, but it was also tough on a girl.
"Hey, Yunnie," Rikku called. "What's that white light over there?"
Paine looked over, and never had a chance to scream before the world was gone from under her.

Emi began dancing. Sure, she was in a skirt, but only her friends were there, so she didn't care. As the last chords of Sexy Planet died away, Emi stepped off the machine and let Rage, her boyfriend, on.
"Don't take too long, Rage," Emi said. "We have a lot to do tonight, including the whole 'first date' thing."
Rage smiled, knowing they could both spend all night on this machine. "If you want to spend the whole 'first date' thing here, I'm fine with that!" He teased.
"Sure thing," Emi laughed. She saw a white light over by the door. "Hey, Rage, look at that!"
Rage looked, and suddenly, he couldn't feel the metal pad below him, and fell.

His green tunic flapped in the wind. He gave Epona another carrot and zipped along. Link looked up again at the moon. It was a mere few miles away from the earth. Translation: Not good. "C'mon, faster Epona!"
He jumped off after another few minutes and pulled out an ocarina. He played a light tune. "I have to get to Clock Town!" The Song of Soaring took him directly there.
He saw a white light coming from the clock tower. "What is that?" It was the last thing he saw before the world vanished.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
He jumped onto another block and entered the castle. He dodged the giant monster and kicked the axe. The monster fell into a giant pit of lava.
"Mario!" A girl yelled. Princess Peach yelled from her prison in the next room. Mario jumped in and released her.
"Here you a-go, Princess," Mario said. "Now we can all get-a out of here."
"Good idea,"
They walked out and escaped back to Princess Peach's castle.
"Mario!" A green-clad man called.
"Luigi!" Mario called back.
Luigi noticed a strange white light behind the approaching duo. "Hey-a, Mario! Look out!"
It was the last thing they heard.

Jim Raynor glanced over his shoulder and fired his machine gun a few times to dispose of some Zerg. He glanced over at his squad. "Keep it up, troops!" he yelled. "We're winning!" He looked in the other direction.
"Marshall Raynor!" A marine yelled. "We are approaching the Overmind!"
"Good work, soldier!" Raynor called back. This war was taking far too long for him. He met up with his partner, Lieutenant Sarah Kerrigan.
"This Overmind is sending out strong signals too all of the Zerg," Kerrigan said to Raynor as he approached. She dispatched a few zerglings with her rifle, and continued. "We have to take large measures to defeat it."
"Say, Sarah," Raynor began. "Do the Zerg have a new weapon?"
"No, why?"
"What's that light then?"
The two fell as the world around them disintegrated.

Sharon was into her game, StarCraft. She called over to her brother, Corey, who was stealing stuff with Sly Cooper on the PS2. "Hey, Corey," she started. "I need some help over here!"
"What's up, sis?" he said as he walked over. Sharon and Corey Savannah both loved video games. Sharon normally played the computer while Corey played the consoles, but both could do either.
Corey was 15 and had brown hair and a medium build. He was a master strategist, but loved to make decisions on the spot as well.
Sharon was 13, but made up for her age in smarts. Her blonde ponytail and schoolgirl appearance contrasted her puzzle-solver attitude. She also loved music, and was often playing DDR or beatmania. She told Corey that her reinforcements were being depleted, but she didn't have the minerals to restore them.
"Simple," Corey answered. "Try sending a few probes over to those unused mineral deposits and that geyser. Make a whole new base there."
"Thanks, Corey."
"If you don't mind, Sharon," Corey began. "Can you help me with this puzzle on Sly? I can't finish the opera-singing level!"
Sharon chuckled. "That's because you have no rhythm!" She walked over and took the controller. "Watch." She began tapping her foot, and pressed the buttons in perfect rhythm. "See? All you need is rhythm!"
"Thanks, Sharon."
"No problem, Corey."
She went back to her StarCraft game. All she needed to do was get a few probes over there. What was that weird white light in the middle of the screen?
"Hey, Corey, what's that?"
Corey walked over.
"I don't know. What do you thi-"
The world disappeared.
