Oh man, I haven't updated this story in FOREVER!! Well, here goes nothing.

The wizened old man thumped his staff on the ground, making a loud "THWACK" sound. Right after, the ground began violently shaking. "Wh-what's going on!?" Amy screamed, trying to keep her balance in the ethereal earthquake. A shadowy white figure arose from one of the tombstones. It resembled a Heartless, but wasn't quite the same thing. It quirked through the air, slowly twitching. Donald screamed "We're not backing down! Goofy!", and as if on-cue, Goofy lifted him up and tossed him into the air, and Donald, with his staff readily pointing towards the sky, cast "Thunder!!".

A shrieking bolt of blue lightning hit Donald's staff, and he readily threw it at the Blue Trinity Guardian. The projectile spun towards him, but right as it was about to make a direct hit, it stopped in mid-air, an eerie blue glow surrounding it. He quickly dismissed it, waving a hand, and sending it directly towards Theo. He tried to fend it off with his enormous sword, but the electricity coursed through his blade and into him. He screamed in terror, and then fell to the ground, unconscious.

The old man cackled, quite satisfied with what he had done. Meanwhile, Amy had cloaked herself with the Green Amulet, and tried to sneak up on Fox. Right when she got behind him, he turned around and whacked her in the head with his staff, knocking her off her feet, but not enough to knock her out. Goofy tossed his shield, and it spun towards Fox, thwacking him upside the head before he could turn around. He stumbled to the ground trying to regain balance, but quickly Donald cast Blizzard, freezing the Guardian where he stood. "Now," Amy said, "Where is that odd ghost thing?". She looked around, but it was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, an invisible force lifted Amy up and tossed her across the graveyard, as she skid across the ground, and crashed into a tombstone.

"It's that ghost again!" Donald cried, launching a fireball towards the phantasmal figure. It nimbly dodged it, jittering through the air. Goofy attempted to launch his shield at the ghost, but it did nothing. The projectile simply flew through it, and fell to the ground with a "thump". The ghost launched itself at Goofy, surprisingly knocking him over. While the ghost was distracted, Donald screamed "Gravity!!", and the ghost was pushed down towards the ground, where he was swiftly beaten with numerous spells.

"Grrr... AARGGH!!" screamed the guardian as he broke out of his ice barrier. "You..."

"You..."

He fell down to his knees and chuckled.

"You've beaten me!"

Donald blinked. "What!?" he exclaimed, jumping up in the air. "You mean we WON!?" The guardian laughed again. "Yes, you've won. And, since you've beaten me...", he said slowly, and unwrapped a string of beads from his stave. "...You can take these with you. You've earned them". Donald carefully took them from his hand, and wrapped them around his own staff. "And now, I believe, I must take my leave", the guardian said, and slowly disappeared into the ground.

Theo growled and stood up. He glanced around and sighed. "It happened again, didn't it?".

Chapter 21 folks. A-huh-huh-huh.
