Chapter 5: Revelations
Traverse Town
Goofy: Gaush, there is no one here. It gives you the chills.
Donald: Oh, pfui. I'm not afraid.
But when a hand touched his shoulder he made a huge leap that stuck to Goofy's back.
?: Excuse me, is the King sending you?
Then they both turned to find a girl wearing a long pink dress with various buttons, all buttoned up except for the last two, she also wears black string around her neck as if it were a necklace. She has green eyes and straight brown hair, in front of her she has two tufts that stand on the side and behind her a long braid tied with a pink bow.
Meanwhile in another place ...
?: Come on, lazy! Wake up!
Then Sora woke up to find Kairi in front of him
?: Are you OK?
Sora: I think so ...
?: The creatures that attacked you want the Keyblade.
Meanwhile Ben still transformed into Ditto listened to the conversation sitting on a chair to find out as much information as possible about Sora's creatures and weapon.
?: But it's your heart they really want, because you have the Keyblade.
Sora: I'm glad you're okay Kairi.
?: Kairi? Who are you talking about?
On hearing what Sora had said, Ben tried not to laugh to avoid a fight erupting because of Leon who was present in the room with them for their recently concluded fight.
?: I'm the great ninja Yuffie!
Sora: Huh?
Then a sudden flash of light blinded Sora's sight and when he vanished he showed another girl in front of him.
Yuffie: I think you exaggerated, Squall.
Leon: Call me Leon!
Ben (Ditto): Call me an armed madman who attacks anyone for no reason.
Leon turns to Ben.
Leon: Know that you and I are not done yet.
Ben sticks his tongue out.
Leon turns back to Yuffie and Sora.
Leon: The Keyblade ...
Yuffie: Yeah, we had to take it off to throw those creatures off. We understood that this was how they tracked.
Leon: It was the only way to hide your heart. But it won't work for long. But it's still hard to believe that you are the chosen one. (He takes the Keyblade, but the weapon disappears in a flash of light and then reappears in Sora's hand).
Ben (Ditto): I understand that you don't like this.
Leon: Well, be that as it may.
Sora: Why don't you try to explain !? What is happening?
In another room with Donald and Goofy
?: You already know that there are other worlds besides your castle and this city, right?
Donald: Yes!
Goofy: But it should be a secret.
?: It was a secret, because they had never been linked before.
?: But with the arrival of the Heartless, that changed.
In Sora's room
Sora: The Heartless?
Yuffie: The ones who attacked you, remember?
Leon: Heartless beings. Like that little boy sitting in the chair. (Indicates Ditto)
Ben (Ditto): Hey! Look, my heart is there! If there is anyone without a heart that is you. (Points to Leon)
Sora notices the little creature sitting in the chair
Sora: Would that be a Heartless?
Ben (Ditto): What a nice compliment from your savior, to have known that I would have left you in his hands and started looking for the other guy who was with you!
Sora remembers that Ben was also with him during the fight with Leon.
Sora: Ben!
Sora gets up and begins to check if Ben was with them but not seeing him points the weapon at Leon for answers.
Sora: Where is it?
Leon: I don't know.
Sora: What?
Leon: That's the truth! When me and that subspecies of Heartless ..
Ben (Ditto): I told you I'm not!
Leon: We were interrupted and I saw that there was no trace of him.
Sora on hearing him returns to the bed with a sad expression.
Ben (Ditto): If this can make you feel any better, know that when the rescue was fine so don't be afraid, he's definitely out there somewhere.
Sora: Really? (Rejoicing)
Ben (Ditto): Yes, I guarantee it.
Sora: But who are you?
Ben (Ditto): My name is Ditto, and you must be Sora! Diamondhead and Mole Mustache have told me a lot about you.
Sora: Do you know them?
Ben (Ditto): Sure! They are my friends, as I am now.
Sora: Are they okay?
Ben (Ditto): They are fine and if you are in trouble, they will come to help you.
Sora: Great! (With a big smile on his face)
Leon * cough * * cough * can we resume?
Sora: Yeah, sorry.
Leon: The dark side of the heart … That's what draws them. And there is darkness in every heart.
Yuffie: Hey, have you ever heard of a certain Ansem?
In Donald and Goofy's room
Goofy: Ansem?
?: He was in charge of studying the Heartless. He reported his findings of himself in detail in a journal.
Goofy: Gaush, can we see him?
?: It fell apart all over the place.
Donald: In pieces?
?: In many different worlds.
Goofy: Oh, then maybe the King went looking for them.
?: Yes, I think so.
Goofy: We have to find him quickly!
Donald: Wait! We need that "key" first!
?: Certain. The Keyblade.
In Sora's room
Sora; So… is this the key?
Yuffie: Right!
Leon: The Heartless are very afraid of the Keyblade.
Ben (Ditto): What luck!
Leon turns his back
Leon: That's why they'll keep hunting you, whatever happens.
Ben (Ditto): What bad luck!
Sora: Well, I didn't ask.
Yuffie: The Keyblade chooses its keeper. And he chose you.
Leon: I mean, worse for you.
Ben (Ditto): he Spoke what he tried to steal from the caretaker, to remind you.
Leon begins to get nervous about what he heard, but he tries to hide it
Sora: How did this all happen? I remember I was in my room with Ben…
Sora gets up abruptly from the bed
Sora: Wait! What happened to my house? My island? Riku! Kairi!
Leon: Unfortunately… I really don't know
Ben decided not to say anything so as not to worsen Sora's emotional state.
Sora decided it was time to leave so he reached the door where Leon was leaning but first he said to him:
Leon: Sooner or later, the Heartless will find you. You must be ready.
Sora: Ready?
Ben (Ditto): In your opinion for what?
Leon: To fight for your life. Are you ready?
Sora: I'm ready.
Leon: Yuffie, let's meet Aerith. You should be there with the other visitors.
Yuffie: Leon! (Pointing to a Heartless)
Leon: Yuffie, go!
Just then the door next to Donald and Goofy's room opened due to Yuffie who was running away taking Donald Duck in full.
Aerith; Yuffie? (While he was chasing her)
Leon: Sora, let's go!
They broke the window with Heartless to escape, but Sora took another path
Ben (Ditto): Look, I'm there too! (Reaching Sora)
The back road
When the three arrived at the site, the first thing they saw was the Heartless taking possession of it and Leon said:
Leon: Don't worry too much about "little fish". Find the boss!
Ben (Ditto): Rest assured I'll find the boss and beat these guys in no time.
Sora: And how are you going to do it? You can't be in multiple places at the same time.
Ben (Ditto): Look!
Suddenly eight other Ditto's appeared on the spot and this excited Sora for the technique used.
Leon: Great idea, so we'll narrow the field and time to find the boss.
Ben (Ditto): Anyway you still dislike me, but since we're on the same side … Then two of me will go with you in case you need a hand, the other three will go to another sector to look, and finally the two of me and Sora we will search here and defeat the Heartless on our way.
Leon: Okay, the three of us go!
Ben (Ditto # 4): Let's go too, the three of us!
Ben (Ditto # 5): I'm the boss!
Ben (Ditto # 6): No me!
Ben (Ditto # 4): Damn.
When the last three Ditto also separated from the group, the last two and Sora began fighting the Heartless to clear the way. The three searched the district where they found themselves but without success, so they decided to go and check the first district and when they arrived to welcome them there was Leon who explained the situation in the first.
Leon: The first district is safe. If you get in trouble, come back here.
Ben (Ditto # 7): Since our presence is safe here it is no longer required.
Ben (Ditto # 8): I can finally rest!
Ben (Ditto # 1): Okay, great job.
So the two Ditto who were with Leon went back to the two who were with Sora to talk to each other.
Sora: Where did they go? (Confused)
Ben (Ditto # 1): Quiet they came back to me to be one again.
Ben (Ditto # 2): More or less.
Sora: So if you do that with the others too, you will be two again?
Ben (Ditto # 2): In truth we will go back to being just one.
Ben (Ditto # 1): Because he's a copy of me too!
Ben (Ditto # 2): No! You are the copy of me!
Ben (Ditto # 1): No you!
Ben (Ditto # 2): No you!
The two Ditto quarreled causing a huge quarrel and enormous confusion about who the copy was and who the real was, also causing discomfort to those who were watching them.
Sora: I didn't understand anything (Looking at Leon with a confused look)
Leon: Better forget what they said before they went as crazy as the two of them.
Ben (Ditto # 1-2): Hey!
They were about to tell Leon two when suddenly the omnitrix started sounding the alarm that it was discharging as it flashed, attracting Leon and Sora's attention.
Sora: What is this annoying sound? (Covering his ears)
Leon: I don't know? But it looks like an alarm and it seems to come from very close!
Then they both looked towards Ditto who was returning to the second district in great haste!
Sora: Ditto where are you going?
Ben (Ditto # 1): Sorry we have to escape! But I promise we'll meet again soon.
Ben (Ditto # 2): I promise too.
They both returned to the second district.
Leon noticing that when both Ditto's left he no longer heard the alarm, starting to wonder what that alarm was and why it seemed to come from those two.
Sora: I follow them! I'm going to see why they're running away!
Second district is the back street
When the two Ditto who were with Sora returned to the place where they had separated to look for the leader of the Heartless in the various districts and to their great surprise there were the other three who were in the third district with the omnitrix flashing due to the little time left they said where the chief was before meeting:
Ben (Ditto # 4): The third district!
Ben (Ditto # 5); The third!
Ben (Ditto # 6): The last district!
When they said the omnitrix quickly reunited the Ditto to make them go back to being one and to transform him back into Ben, who, knowing where the leader was, reached the others as quickly as possible. Arriving at the entrance of the first district, however, he bumped into Sora who was going in the direction of him colliding with each other:
Ben: Be careful where you go!
Sora: No! You're careful!
Then they both opened their eyes to find out who was ahead of them, and when they did:
Sora: Ben?
Ben: Sora?
They both got up and embraced for reunion.
Sora: Ben! Look good then Ditto had told the truth.
Ben: Who?
Sora: Forget it, why are you here anyway?
Ben: I don't know! The last thing I remember is the mystery guy who attacked me with his weapon and then suddenly I wake up here.
Sora: Ok? .. How come you didn't look for me?
Ben: I did! But I have not found you anywhere, I have looked for you everywhere but without success.
Sora: Ben ..
Ben: I'm sorry I made you worry but I have to tell you something important.
Sora: Ben
Ben: Let me finish Sora, I wanted to tell you that …
Sora: Ben!
Ben: What is it?
Sora: Move!
Ben did as Sora asked, moving behind him to find that a group of Heartless had arrived.
Ben: Them again? But how many are there?
Sora: I don't know… these Heartless just keep getting bigger every time.
Ben: Heartless?
Sora: It's the name of these creatures that keep attacking us.
Ben: Ok! If you tell us.
Sora defeated the Heartless who were attacking them trying to trap them in place.
Sora: Ok! What did you want to tell me?
Ben: I wanted to tell you that in the third district there is a giant monster that seems to control the Heartless.
Sora: How do you know?
Ben: Because I escaped from that place looking for both a refuge and you here.
Sora: Lead me, we need to take him out.
Ben: Are you sure?
Sora: Yes!
Ben: Okay, follow me!
Both reached the third district in search of the "Chief" who was commanding the Heartless, where also Goofy and Donald were. Goofy peered out from a balcony to see who he was again had to pay attention behind him because Heartless appeared.
Goofy: Gaush, are these the Heartless?
Donald Duck: Let's put him on, Goofy!
But both were sent flying by the Heartless into the sky and then fell on top of Sora and Ben stunned, when they recovered and looked at what Sora was holding they said:
Goofy and Donald: The key!
Then suddenly stone columns emerged from the ground that blocked all the exits on which later Heartless appeared above them to block them, realizing that they had fallen into a trap, the quartet immediately put themselves in a fighting position to eliminate the Heartless that appeared d ' ahead of them, beating them with shields, spells, Keyblades and fists. Suddenly from the sky what looked like giant pieces of armor landed and joined together to form a giant Heartless made from pieces of armor detached from the body, all four attacked the living armor with the result that Sora, Donald and Goofy were sent against the wall. Causing a huge impact as Ben was sent against the balcony of the house outside the cage created by the Heartless. Recovering from the impact immediately Ben following the clash hidden in the balcony from the distance he heard the acoustic signal of the omnitrix that loaded, without wasting time he activated it by scrolling the playlist to the hologram that was needed and when the core came out he pressed it quickly, and breaking into the battlefield in front of the trio he immediately declared his intentions.
Ben (?): Rest assured, I'm on your side to help you defeat this lump of metal.
Sora, Donald and Goofy gasped as they saw and heard the creature speak in front of them, but the first thing they said was:
Sora, Donald and Goofy: Watch out! Behind you!
In fact, Heartless was about to attack the creature that he had come to him with a huge punch but stretching his arm towards his shoulders smiling the pieces of the giant heartless were sent with great speed and power towards the floor creating a huge crack.
Ben (?): Do you want to give me a hand? Or do you want to stay on the ground all the time?
Without being repeated twice the trio attacked the gigantic heartless locked, first eliminating the upper and lower limbs to be able to attack the head that seemed to be the weak point, once finished the head broke out of the body falling to the ground and after the body came out a Heart that freed himself into the sky making the rest of the Heartless disappear.
A few minutes later …
Sora: So, were you looking for me?
Donald and Goofy did a nod of a statement.
Leon: They were also looking for the Keyblade keeper
Ben (?): Apparently you already became very famous.
Then everyone turned towards the creature that had yellow striped black leather, large shoulders sharpened with them a metal head with green eyes and a small yellow diadem on the forehead, pliers instead of hands and finally the coat of arms 'Omnitrix on the center of the chest.
Goofy: Gaush, thanks for the helpful sir.
Donald: is a magician by chance?
Ben (?): More or less … why?
Donald: I've never seen anyone do magic without an object that helps him, how can you?
Ben (?): My "hand" direction towards the target and that's it.
Donald: It's not possible!
Ben (?): Do you want a try?
Everyone said yes.
Ben (?): Well! Look at him.
Everyone looked at Leon wondering what he would do, and the answer did not attack to arrive because they were suddenly Leon was relieved of the soil and then be sent where he moved.
Donald: what magic is it?
Ben (?): Magnetism (while reporting Leon to the ground)
Sora: Incredible (with eyes shining)
Yuffie: Of course there are fantastic people around.
Leon: Apart about it.
Goofy: Hey, come with us! We will travel to the worlds with our ship.
Sora; Who knows if I can find Riku and Kairi.
Donald: but of course!
Goofy: Are you sure?
Donald: And what do I know? But we need him to find the King.
Leon: Sora, go with them. Especially if you want to find your friends.
Sora: Yes, I think.
Donald: But you can't come with that face. Did you understand? No pouting. No sad face. Agree?
Ben (?): Why?
Goofy: Yes, you must look funny, like us!
Donald: This goes on with smiling faces.
Ben (?): Really? (Imagining the pain in his jaw)
Sora: Smiling?
After a couple of seconds Sora makes a smiling face making Donald and Goofy laugh and also Ben if only he could …
Goofy: That's a funny face!
Sora: All right, why not? I'll go with you guys!
Donald: Donald Duck.
Goofy: I'm Goofy.
Sora: I'm Sora.
Then the trio turned their gaze to Ben.
Ben (?): What is it?
Goofy: Aren't you joining us?
Ben (?): Why?
Donald: You are a very powerful wizard who can do magic using only his hands, I don't see why you shouldn't join us?
Sora: Yeah, I'd love to see you in action.
Ben (?): I'm sorry but I decline.
Sora, Donald and Goofy: What !?
Goofy: Why?
Donald: Tell us.
Ben (?): You see I can't explain it, it would be too complicated.
Sora: Complicated?
Ben (?): Right! But I think someone else would be better suited.
Sora: Who?
Donald: Tell us.
Goofy: Please!
Ben (?): The boy who was sent to that balcony (pointing)
Sora: Ben!
Goofy and Donald: Who?
Ben (?): I assure you that he's got tough skin, because he's fine.
Sora: Thank goodness!
Donald Duck: Is he a wizard?
Ben (?): Do you want to know the magic of him?
Donald: What is it?
Ben (?): Never give up.
Donald: But it's not magic.
Ben (?): You're wrong to say that.
Goofy: I'm curious to know him.
Ben (?): Calm down is coming, he just needs to regain the sense of balance.
Sora: In what sense?
Ben (?): I have to go! However, if you need help with these Heartless, I will come to your aid in a flash.
Goofy: Thank you sir.
Ben (?): Call me Lodestar!
Alien Bio ...
Name: Lodestar
Breed: Biosovortian
Description: He has the power to create magnetic fields, which allows him to repel, attract and control metal objects. He can also emit magnetic pulses. He is also gifted with super strength. If he is destroyed he is able to attract the various fragments of his body and recompose himself. His flight and limitation abilities are remarkably high, as he can move his metallic body as he does with the objects around him, or by using magnetic jets to push himself upward. If surrounded by a magnetic field of opposite polarity to those he controls, he should no longer be able to use his powers.
Donald: Strange name.
Thanks to the help of his powers he made a huge leap that took him to the roof of the house where Ben was, to quickly get away from the place, but when he reached an open window he entered and then pressed the emblem of the omnitrix to become human again and get where he thought he was going to get out by jumping off the balcony to join Sora and the others.
Donald: Is that you Ben?
Ben: Yes! It's me.
Goofy: Nice to meet you, I'm Goofy.
Donald: Donald Duck.
Ben: Nice to meet you! And sorry if I no longer participated in the battle, it took me a while to recover.
Donald: These things happen.
Goofy: Yeah, if you only knew how many times it happened to me.
Donald: Always
Ben laughed
Goofy: However we would like you to come with us to help Sora find his friends.
Ben: I guessed it, you see Sora's friends are also my friends.
Goofy: Really?
Sora: Although he has recently known there, because he too comes from another world.
Donald and Goofy: What?
Ben: However if there are people or friends to save I'm ready to take the risk.
All four put their hands together as Goofy had done and then said:
Goofy: All for one, one for all.
Unknown place
?: That kid beat that Heartless. Incredible!
?: It's only thanks to the Keyblade. The boy's strength has nothing to do with it!
?: Let's turn it into Heartless. This would make things easier.
?: And the brat's friends are the King's servants!
?: I'll be hit, they look like bilge rats.
?: Because what are you …
?: Silence! That's enough! He is the chosen one of the Keyblade. Will he be the one to conquer the darkness? Or will it be swallowed by it? In any case, it will be very useful to us …
?: But there is one thing you did not foresee.
?: Is it would be idiotic?
?: The presence of that strange monster.
?: You're right those brats and the King's minions only managed to beat him with his help!
?: What's the problem? Let's turn him into a Heartless too so there won't be any more hassle!
?: But did you see what he looked like he had? In my opinion that monster doesn't have a heart.
?: I've never seen such a creature.
?: Silence! The intervention of that being was unpredictable, I wonder what world he comes from to be able to put that Heartless under his feet with such ease, it will be better to investigate the thing.
