Now with chapter 5 done, we are getting into the more interesting parts of the story. From here you'll notice some changes were done from what I might have added already. After going through some ape escape games(mostly canon), I have some ideas I want to try out. As for the designs for the Straw Hats, I wanted to give them some interesting appearance as they go from one world to another, inspired by KH3 game after playing over it.
As for the Committee lack of new appearance design, I figured they have dealt with more magic in their lives then most would give credit. Because of this you can say they are walking batteries of magic themselves. That and I'm sure change of appearance wouldn't really do good when trouble walks on your doorstep. But I can change what they look like on some worlds such as Toy Story, Tron and so forth. Just to clarify I'm been avoiding Disney because there is a lot of that in Kingdom Hearts. At some point I will include them, in another story which is somewhat a remake to Dream Drop Distance.
I mean, Sora for all his good intentions, has already made himself known as law breaker for not following the world order as he should have from KH1, granted he was inexperience but still less information of worlds, better for them on their journey. I'm actually waiting for a storyline where Sora being the nice person he always is spills the beans about the world to someone who is good, but is the real bad guy of his/her story.
If Xehanort can cause problems by telling Maleficent about the worlds, Sora by default can cause worst problems for being nice. I'm just waiting for that moment when Tetsuya Nomura decides to creates a storyline, that is Sora's fault for creating a world traveling supervillain. If anything we now can focus on new stories and new villains if possible.

Ape Escape: Specter's Shadow
Chapter 5: City of Apes 1 - World Tour
For our Pirate Crew, traveling to another world will be a nice experience many would never have known. After finding land for what felt like hours was only 50 minutes, the Straw Hats and Committee will then decide who would guard the ship. The Committee being new to their routine, found themselves not willing to take shifts like the Straw Hats. So for fairness the Straw Hats will pick one of their own to stay behind, while the Committee can leave someone behind to keep each other company. Franky volunteer since he wanted to check how Thousand Sunny handle the space travel, joining him is Cid who is interest in seeing how the ship handled itself. With this decided, Merlin help them ashore by teleporting them on land. Luffy, Usopp and Chopper seemed to enjoy the magic tricks Merlin display whenever he showed his powers to them.
Now on shores the two groups would start heading towards different parts of the city they are entering. Some will explore this new world where they can discover new things and for Luffy's case sense of adventure. While the Committee had been to other worlds before, they hadn't explored to the point of actually being in many worlds. Keeping the world order is priority number one after all, but for some it was just guidelines that everyone just hears then ignores. The two groups split up with one consist of Nami Luffy and Yuffie are as one group. Nami volunteer just to keep Luffy from getting in trouble, with Yuffie as her backup since she has skills of an Ninja(in training). The other group consist of Zoro, Auron, Cloud, and Leon who respect each other in swordsmen skills, that and they can be considered cool in their own right. These guys wanted to check the city for something to do or what they can find, plus Zoro wants a third blade since the keyblade didn't work out as he hoped. Next Robin, Chopper, Merlin with Archimedes and Aerith will be searching around to see what books they have in history, medical and so on. That and among the entire group they get along better then most have realized. Our last group consist of Sanji, Usopp and the Gullwing trio who will help gather some food supplies with Usopp carrying most of the load.
Now going their separated ways, the pirates and committee had started to explore the city before deciding to leave. From what the pirates understand, the Committee wants less interaction in the worlds they visit, more so for the world order to be preserve. From their experience with few Keyblade wielders, they too try to uphold and respect the world's law and rules to keep the secrecy of other worlds to avoid information falling into wrong hands. But because their pirate friends are exciting to see what this world has to offer, they will allow them to stay until they are ready to sail again.
Professor's Laboratory - Meeting
Outside the city boarders, our Professor has come across something interesting. Few Several days back some dark creatures had taken tried to invade his laboratory in search of something. At first The professor thought it was specter up to his tricks again. But through the cameras recording the incident, instead of monkeys there appears these dark creatures. From what he can gather, they are some new beings this world has never seen before. For assistance he called in Aki for some help solving this mystery. In turn she wanted to visit them sometime with her niece Yumi and nephew Kei who wanted to hang out with Spike, Jake, and Jimmy together since they didn't get the chance thanks to Specter's world dominating plans.
"Anything to go by Casi?" The Professor asked hoping they may have found something about these dark creatures, all they got was some symbol of an heart with black thorns.
"Nothing, other then what we know so far. These things all emit some sort of dark matter energy you see in space, but these creature have something else unfamiliar. I even tried looking up that symbol if about what made these creatures. Again nothing came up, but looking deeper it may appear that these creatures are somehow as people would say 'Natural born monsters of darkness' even that makes less sense." Casi felt frustrated, as a computer AI she is built for logic and facts, now with these creatures roaming around it is difficult to understand how these things exist. The way they live and how they are able to have this dark energy inside their bodies seemed impossible until they appear.
"I have search for any meanings to this symbol, but what I have gathered that it doesn't exist, almost like they weren't from this world." Aki told the professor and others, this lead to her thinking if their some form of extraterrestrial, after some re-watching the security cameras over few times. She starting to believe they are some form of hidden species once dominating this planet until awaken sometime later. No doubt Specter somehow came across these things, now is using them for his next plan.
"Fascinating, if only we can somehow communicate with them. We could see if they are intelligent, unlock new discoveries, or perhaps explore to new worlds. So many possibilities, the only problem would be to find someway to communicate without Specter knowing." The Professor went on list many scientific achievements he and the community could work towards. Despite knowing less then usual, they seemed interested in understanding how these creatures function or why are appearing now if they were in hiding. While working on her end, Aki notice Natalie seemed more worried about these creatures, then specter at the moment.
"Something been bothering you, Natalie?" Aki asked out of concern as she notice some of her research had involve other sightings from those dark creatures. From what she is seeing it appears as these dark creatures had attack some people when no one was looking, but failed to notice the security camera showing them. Through these cameras it appears the creatures took someone's heart, while floating it suddenly was engulfed by darkness as it then transform them into the same creatures you see today.
"Those creatures, they used to be people at one point. How is it that they are still alive as something else instead of dying?" Natalie hadn't notice Aki is looking over her shoulder, but chose to remain quiet giving Natalie time to herself for processing this revelation. As for the professor and Casi, they had been multitasking on what these dark creatures and specter are building something by stealing from construction sites.
"Casi have you found anything on Specter been planning?" While the dark creatures are their concern, they did know that they are working alongside the monkeys.
"Nothing, I know where they are located, but there is some high tech security going around there fortress?" This seemed unusual from his normal tactics, if anything Specter behavior has been changing since these creatures arrived. While he may not express it, the Professor is also concern about these creatures and the effects they bring towards their earth. It's a natural feeling everyone has when dealing with dark creatures aka heartless that they learn their names sometime later.
"How is Helga and Pipo Snake are they making progress?" Sometime earlier the Professor had gather some help to spy on Specter or gather intel from their fortress. Problem was unlike many times before, they had to sneak past those creatures that are on consistent watch. From what they told, these thing never had to rest nor stop what they were doing. This made infiltration more harder as both Pipo Snake and Helga would try other methods to deal with these enemies.
"Nothing yet, but I have been guiding them through Specter's fortress, so far it's taking some time to reach some terminal without being detected by their guards. In the meantime, I have gathered more activities in different locations." Showing the list it appears Specter is planning something big, some of these location showed caution to let their appearance known to the world. Specter is never this cautious, neither is he sneaky in his attempts. If anything something bad was about to happen, and the professor along with the others hope they are ready for this event.
Stroll through the city - Robin, Chopper, Archimedes, Merlin, and Aerith
"WOAH, this place is very big!" Chopper shouted with excitement looking around the big city. In his current form he stand out as young monkey who is being held by Robin. She doesn't mind as she is able to hold him in her arms, as Aerith and Merlin are leading their group with Archimedes on Merlin's shoulder. Throughout their small adventure, both pirates are awe how big these building almost reaching the clouds. As they move about some people stared at the odd group, most of these stares focus on Merlin and his choice of clothes which ironically haven't called the police on what he wears, that or his magic helps a bit. As for the others they are staring at both Aerith and Robin. More so on Robin as her figure shows her beauty making some guys drool or smack upside the head from their girlfriends/wives. As for Chopper, they stare at him because of his appearance since how many attacks involve a certain white hair monkey.
"We seemed to attract attention." Aerith pointed out as she felt embarrassed from not coming prepared for world travel, then again they never travelled outside their world too much.
"You get used to it, although I would like to know how they build these tall buildings." Robin said out of curiosity.
"We're should be heading towards a book store soon, there you will understand about these skyscrapers. I cannot help but feel how amazing humans will achieve, if only their weren't people willing to abuse that power for themselves." Merlin grimacing the last sentence, knowing their are those who seek power for themselves.
"No matter what world, it seemed like bad people will always exist." Aerith said as a matter of fact tone, soon they encounter some guys who appear to be punks that you avoid in back alleys.
"Hey babes, what are two beauties like yourselves doing by your lonesome." Said the man appearing as the boss from his gang. Robin and Aerith on the outside are smiling like nothing had happen, but on the inside they frown at these men knowing how they see them. Even on other worlds things never change, but unfortunate for these men, they had to pick the two people who can easily smack them around. While not average fighters, but enough that their abilities allow them to fight more any would imagine.
"We're just new around here, we wanted to explore the city then go towards the book store with our cute friend." Aerith told them while pointing at Chopper in his chimp form. Aerith did her hardest to be polite, but these men didn't take the hint as they grin acting sly and cool about themselves.
"Really, if your looking for a fun time, why don't you hang with us. Better then trying to teach this furry freak anything." While that last part was more aimed at monkey/ape kind since this world has it's own problems. Indirectly they had cause Robin to be furious, as she cares deeply about Chopper. For them to try and insult him is like insulting herself. Chopper could have spoken for himself, but is told about the world order, since it's uncommon for animals to talk on many worlds it would seem suspicious if Chopper talk normal then most. Having enough Robin put down Chopper gently, while Aerith secretly grab her staff to confront the men. As for Merlin he cast a small illusion spell in case anyone saw them preform powers beyond imagination making sure no one watch them. With Archimedes and Chopper they stood on the sidelines as they watch the events unfolded knowing this won't end well for them.
"If you want us to have fun, you have to due us a big favor and close your eyes." Robin told them, foolishly doing as they said. Aerith brought her staff full length as she swung her weapon, realizing too late as they whack the gang in 7 seconds each. Trying to regain their senses, Robin had brought her powers up doing what she did with Franky, but with greater grip as they soon made girly screams before being release as Aerith then finish them off with one whack on their heads, knocking them unconscious.
"Shall we move on." Aerith said with an innocent smile, Merlin check is anyone was looking before dismissing his spell. Chopper went back on Robin's arms as they continue moving through the city.
"You know, if this is suppose to be the future, then nothing has change from back then. Instead of muscle head dumb dumbs, now we have punks walking around acting as if they own these streets." Archimedes comment, as Merlin tap Archimedes to remain him of the world order.
"I wouldn't say it's all bad, even if humanity cause these problems themselves, sometimes good things happen when your patient enough. Now I do believe we should turn here." Walking towards another street, they headed towards their destination as they will look forward to knowing this world better.
Specter's Hidden Base - Helga Investigation
Lately Helga had been worried about some activity from Specter and his newest minions. When the Professor called her about Specter's questionable activities, he sound more concern then the last other times the world is in danger. The Professor even keep quite with Spike and his friends because he didn't want them to rush in without any knowledge of his plans. To help her in this mission, he paired her with Casi and Pipo Snake. Their mission is to gather intel on what Specter's plan and his new minions that has some people scared.
From around the concern, Pipo Snake took the lead with his Banana Pistol in hand while Helga covered his back. Once they reach one of the control rooms undetected, Helga will upload an program chip that allows access to their computers. From their they will have to wait for Casi to upload the intel in order for them to know Specter's plans.
"This place is heavily guarded with those monkeys and those dark creatures." Unlike most times they had invaded Specter's fortress, there seemed to be more guards then usual. In fact it can be argued that whatever is happening seems to effect the monkeys with his new minions.
"I don't know about these dark creatures, but I get the feeling that these people are someone new from this world." Pipo Snake spoke his thoughts, he then shot some monkeys catching them in daze as Helga followed behind making sure they weren't separate. But with the dark creatures, they had to avoid them as much as possible.
These dark creatures which are named Invisible Red, they have monkey like appearance with only red pants and helmets covering their face, their have flashing light as warning for danger. The skin is purple with a strap across it's chest filled with shuriken, and a heartless emblem to symbolize themselves as one monster. Helga had been questioning herself why they have these heart symbols on different parts of the body while appearing monstrous. These heartless walk like apes on all fours as their hands closed like fist to walk on all fours.
"I may not be familiar with specter, yet these dark creature might be trouble. Did the professor tell you what to expect from these things." Pipo Snake shook his head, if the Professor is unsure about these creature then there's no telling what these things can cause to the world. After much difficulty they finally made it to an secure area where they will upload the chip so that Casi can have easy access to their network. It took some time, but soon enough Casi had found herself inside the enemies network.
"Hello Helga and Snake good job on getting past their security. I should be able to figure out there plans, but their encryption firewall is too strong. Specter wouldn't have this high tech security, but his new allies might be trouble. I will need at least some time before I find anything in these files." Casi told them as she work, while Helga and Snake keep watch. It maybe sometime, but they have all the time as long as the monkeys or the dark creature didn't figure out there here. Unnoticed to them one individual standing out from the rest, is standing upside down having been observing them until it decided to strike.
Grocery Store - Sanji, Usopp, and Gullwing
Sanji, Usopp, Yuna, Rikku and Paine are shopping for food supplies with few extras for Luffy. For our trio of fairies, they had to lay low since this world feels more technological advancement then magic. As such seeing three small people floating around would raise questions then blending in this world. They took refuge inside the men's pocket, more so with Sanji since he beg them to stay safe with him.
"Sanj, why do I have to carry all this stuff?" Usopp whined as he is forced to carry all the food supplies instead of Sanji.
"Because out of everyone your the only option." Sanji comment examining some fruits and vegetables before buying them. So far there wasn't really too much difference from their world to this one, although if he's being honest it felt like this world could have better quality ingredients instead of something cheap.
"How am I the only one available, we have twice as many people on the Sunny then just us. How am I the only one available?" Usopp complained wondering how Sanji came to that conclusion.
"First off, you never give the lady manual labor when men can do that job." Sanji pointed towards Usopp, "As for the guys, Luffy would eat all these foods without restraint. Chopper would stay with Robin, plus being a monkey he would attract fleas which is not good for our supplies. The Four Swordsmen are doing their own thing, damn that mosshead, Merlin's to old with his pet too small, Franky and Cid are checking over the ship, I want to check the quality of these ingredients which leave me to you." Sanji finish explaining.
"But Sanji, couldn't you just carry some of this stuff." Usopp continue to whine as he's currently carrying at least 6 bags of supplies almost making him trip few times.
"Get over it, besides if you were more of an fighters, perhaps you wouldn't be stuck in this situation." Sanji respond, as Usopp accept defeat with his logic since women are in his brains.
"HOW CAN I WITH SO MANY STRONG ENEMIES IN THE GRANDLINE, and now we'll be facing more ridiculous enemies in these worlds." Usopp said scared out of his mind.
"If it makes you feel better Usopp, we're not exactly combat ready with our size." Rikku said trying to cheer him up.
"Easy for you to say, when Sanji will protect you at all times." Usopp told Rikku knowing how Sanji works protecting ladies when in his sights.
"Hey, we don't need protection, we can fight just fine. Besides, even if we can fight like you guys, you can always count on us to steal some stuff. After all we were once treasure hunters, which sometimes made us thieves if your being specific." Usopp gave his deadpan stare at Yuna finding some similarities to Nami if in miniature form.
"By the way, how much are you buying exactly, you can't use your world's money?" Paine pointed out what is the biggest problem with world traveling, when dealing with money on many worlds, you have to pay them with their currency instead of your world's currency. Lucky the Committee had talk to Sanji and the crew about the Munny system. While in yellow/blue items that drop from enemies such as heartless or more monsters they defeat, the Moogles are able to turn the Munny into the currency in the world they travel. Sometime when Moogle shops aren't available, they had created small items known as Converting rings, using magical properties the Munny taking by defeated enemies can convert these munny into world currency base on the world they visit.
For now the Munny they are using once belong to Leon and his friends from their own heartless extermination. You be surprise how much munny they had obtain over the years, Sanji showed this to Usopp explaining how their new friends are offering their munny, since Sanji is the ships chief they trust him to find the ingredients when needed.
"By the way, why are you examining the ingredients, couldn't you just pick them up as you walk by them?" Yuna asked curious why Sanji is taking his time, when it's food.
"Well, Yuna-chan I have to make sure the ladies have the best nutrition when I cook the meals, although you guys can have the scraps for all I care." Sanji said pointing at Usopp.
"THAT'S CRUEL!" Usopp yelled. From the shadows it appears as Heartless are spying on the new visitors. Why they are spying instead of attacking is unknown, but there are forces at play that will soon be realize.
Specter's Cyber Space - Casi Hacking
So Far everything is going as plan, If Casi can find just one file from his fortress. Then after that Casi can transfer the file for the Professor to look over them, only problem is how secure this network making it difficult to navigate.
Inside the network appears with blue walls with red lines at certain times glow. Hallway after hallway, Casi keep her eyes peeled for anything to grab, around another concern she saw few new types that look like Red Cubes with four pointed legs almost like a spider. It's eye is to small to see, but you can tell where it's face is base on the movement. Casi had to tread carefully as there are other in yellow and silver like cubes. These creatures are known as Bug Blox, an virus like heartless that corrupts data and network alike through the use of darkness infused technology. The current three types are known as Blox Bug, Danger Bug, and Metal Bug.
However a new type is introduce known as Watch Bug, these bugs are colored dark blue with aqua veins like the other bugs. What makes them special is how their are two gun turrets attach the top, it patrols the area making sure their are no intruders. From what Casi can guess these bugs are guarding important areas that are most heavily guarded. With stealth and accuracy she manage to get pass them, now entering their most secure data Casi search for a link connection she can used to access data.
"Here we go." Using her hacking skills, she manage to obtain some files skimming through until she found what she is looking for Specter's plan. That was until she stumble one file hidden behind Specter's world domination plan.
"What's this." Letting her curiosity get the best of Casi, she looked over the file that was hidden, to then see/read something her mind couldn't believe what this file contain. If what these plans are true then Specter's plan has some quick adjustments, putting the world in more danger then they realize.
"Howdy." Interrupting her thoughts realizing she has been caught. Casi turn quickly hoping to somehow escape from this individual, but is binded by some sort of cyber ropes that shocking her systems to deactivation, keeping her alive while unconscious. In front of her is some shadowy figure standing over Casi picking her up over his shoulders. From the voice sounding male revealing to be some new form of heartless, as it communicated to his boss.
"Crimson, we have one of the targets, proceeding with capturing the others." It said to his boss.
"Very good Marine, I also have capture the other two intruders. We can't have them spoil the surprise to soon, our other comrades have to complete their task before we can finalize our plans." Said calling itself Crimson, Who is in charge of his so called group of Heartless known as Freakish Shadow Ten.
Sunny Go - Franky and Cid
On the Sunny Go, while Franky and Cid had search through the ship. Cid has some ideas he like for Franky to add for their space travels, the two seemed to get along just as fine since they are men for inventions and creative minds. After their inspection is done, the two went to experiment for new inventions and possible designs for upgrading the Sunny.
"Oh yeah, this is fantastic. With this, the Sunny will be better then ever. To bad we are on separate worlds for most part, would like to showoff my ideas." Franky said with energy of an 10 year old. When Franky join the Straw Hats he never imagine he be on world traveling. But with these Heartless the Committee had warn, he'll have to start building more crazy weapons on their trip.
Cid could see spark in his eyes despite wearing sunglass. To see his passion in creating new inventions to building ships, he can see if Franky wasn't a pirate he be some scientist on another world. "You seemed to care about this ship." Cid stated, smiling with his arms cross at his chest.
"I had help building the Sunny, plus if I'm not around to help repair this Super Awesome Sunny, I have no idea what they do." Franky thinking about Usopp, who have tried to save Merry, but didn't have the skills. It truly was heartbreaking seeing those CP bastards crush Usopp spirit without concerning for his feelings. The ship may have been grounded, but that didn't give them the right to tarnish their ship after everything it went through. Hopefully the Sunny will stay strong, until reaching the end of the Grandline, if broken or damage he'll help repair the Sunny with all his heart and soul.
"Still, this is an interesting experience, traveling worlds in some wooden pirate ship instead of an space ship using magic. I wonder if Merlin could tell me how he did that." He and Merlin don't always see things eye to eye. If Cid could, he would asked that old man about the type of magic he used.
"Anyway, I think I'll check the outside. Who knows if someone would sail right past us or is about to open fire on our ship." Cid told Franky as he walk off towards upper deck. When dealing with new world it's better to be safe then sorry if something bad were to happen.
From up in space, a satellite appeared in the shadows with Specter's logo on it's side with a name calling "Virtual Drop". Inside it's targeting system pointed right above the Sunny Go. Once lock the hatch from it's nose end opens revealing some sort of missile ready to drop above them. Soon the Satellite fired it's main weapon.
Cid went on upper deck, enjoying the nice sun shine with ocean breeze and missile heading for them. That last one made Cid look up realizing they are being attack as his eyes widen.
"FRANKY, get your Arse up here!" Cid Cried out, few moments as Franky arrived, he saw the missile heading for them. While unprepared, Cid had his weapon out ready to cast some aero spell when needed. Just as it was in short distance from hitting the Sunny, the missile suddenly stop with small rockets on it's side preventing it from falling. Confused by this missile, it open to realize some small antenna at the front, making the missile open like some claw. It shot out some energy field containing Franky and Cid making it feel trap by this unexpected surprise attack.
"Hey, what the heck is it doing to our Sunny?" Franky shouted as he prepared for whatever they will throw.
"This missile, it wasn't meant to attack us. Get ready I have a feeling we'll have company." Just as he said that Bug Blox started to show up, along with new Heartless known as Aqua Web. By it's name the skin is colored Aqua with red, black and purple lines traveling around it's body with the heartless symbol on it's chest. The eyes are yellow with green and red glasses on it's face crooked.
"Looks like this world has it's own problem, What's the Plan Googles." Cid already answered by using his aero spells to wipe out some of those new heartless. Only to notice seconds late that these new heartless seemed unaffected by his magic spell. The Heartless charge at them as the Bug Blox stood by making sure Franky and Cid remained station. Franky used his Weapons Left, shooting his cannon balls at the heartless. Again having no effect as it somehow phase through them, leading them outside the shield.
Franky and Cid had tried to strike these heartless left and right, only to lead the same results as before. This has left Cid and Franky trap as these Heartless haven't tried to attack or letting them move anywhere except the upper deck where they are stuck with these things.
"Why haven't they attack us?" Cid had wondered the same thing as the Heartless appeared watching them, almost as they are studying their every move. This worried Cid as the only type of heartless that would follow beyond basic instincts of any heartless, are types that follow orders from something that is more intelligent then themselves or which meant some dangerous villains exist on this world using the heartless to follow up their latest evil plan. Before he can say anything the Sunny started to shake and rumble as if something was attacking underneath them. They then saw a laser beam shooting above them putting the ship with Franky and Cid frozen. It didn't take long as they soon disintegrate into pieces, these pieces are then transform into some cube like data that is being transferred from real world into data. Once the ship and the two are gone, the Bug Blox and Heartless vanish as the Missile would self-destruct leaving nothing behind except it's remains.
Central Park - Spike and Co.
"Come on Jake, You'll have to run faster then that!" Spike teased taking the lead, or so he thought before Jake surprise him by running past him.
"You were saying Spike?" the two boys are racing for the park, doing what most boys their age would do having fun and goofing off. Lately things have settled down without Specter trying to rule the world with monkey kind. Spike and Jake are hanging out with three others who wanted to join them. The meeting place is where the park is at the city's center.
"What's the matter Spike, too fast for you." Jake teased back, as Spike ran trying to get ahead of him.
"Just a little bit more." Spike muttered trying to use every last ounce of energy left to beat his friend.
"Whatever you do, don't slow down." Jake joke as these two were close to the park. Up ahead the park is in site, already there are three people are hanging out waiting for the two to arrive. It didn't take them long as Spike and Jake rush towards Central park to see who would win. At the end Spike won, as he cheered himself while teasing his friend about the race.
The people at this panic are those who have saved the world from Specter whenever he plan for world domination for monkey kind. Our first heroes are name Yumi and Kei who are brother and Sister have travel with their aunt Aki. Yumi and Kei are the latest heroes from their predecessors who were busy at the time, at that time Specter had hypnotize everyone who was watching tv shows, making it easier for his plans to fruition. His goal was to chop the world in half so that mankind can have half of the world to themselves, while the other half belonging to monkey kind as him their ruling king. He had partner up with a human named Dr. Tomoki who had assisted Specter in his goals. This is Specter's first time after Jake, had someone willingly team with Specter against Humankind. Yumi and Kei had used the same technology that has help in the past to capture all the monkeys and defeat specter once more. This would have mark Specter's third attempt a failure same as the other times.
Jimmy is the cousin of Spike, who team up with an baby monkey name Pipotchi to stop Specter and his plans of World domination. This would mark the first time he had help known as Freaky Monkey Five. And selective group of Monkeys who have certain skills and talent that helps combat the likes of those who stop his plans and enforce his rule of Human/Monkey kind, from here they would work as his personal guard/commanders for his monkey army. This time he created a weapon known as Lethargy Laser that will cause humanity to lose the will to fight back. Combine with his Vita Z-Bananas it seemed he would win this time, but like always he had failed in his conquest for world domination.
And finally our main and primary hero of this world Spike, the one who first started his heroic journey when Specter first somehow came upon his Peak Point Helmet. From their he gain incredible powers to the point of mind controlling his best Jake. From here his first scheme involve time travel through the past to replace mankind to Monkey Kind as dominate species. Jake being his first comrade while under mind control would provide some challenge for Spike who manage to capture all the monkey to face Specter in the present. It was this moment that mark an long battle against Specter and his monkey comrades who follow him.
From here Specter has face Spike on more then multiple occasions, some involving Specter facing another foe who tried to conquer the earth for himself. No one knew why except it involve some new form of cyber monkey name Pipotrons and another group called Neo Pipotrons who are gray monkeys that were experimented by some unknown villain. With many schemes on by it's a wonder why Specter hasn't given up on World Domination.
(A/N: I had to do lots of research for this amount of information. From Ape escape 1-3 and three other spin-offs it took sometimes as two of the six games were in Japanese compared to the other four, most of the time I had to check out gameplay/cutscenes to figure out some stuff.)
"Spike, Jake you made it." Yumi greeted them as Spike rush towards the closet food he can find.
"Let me guess, you tried to see who would win the race right?" Jake rub the back of his head when Kei asked, knowing how competitive they can get at times.
"I expected Spike to win, he was always good at this stuff." Jimmy commented as he look annoyed by his opinion.
"Hey give me a break, it's my day off and the sun was in my eyes." Some laugh at his excuse as Jake tried to explain himself.
"Don't worry, there'll be next time. What does this make about 30 wins?" As Spike tried to remember, Jake tackled Spike as the two soon wrestled around the dirt. With the two busy playing around the others simply watch until they were done. For awhile they had played some games, talk about stuff, hanging out as they enjoyed themselves. Everyone who is at the park had their own activities, it seemed like everything was in peace until some people in Central Park started to stare at something. From what they are looking at is somewhat between fear and confused. Reasons for this is Specter is walking towards our group in his tuxedo clothes compared to his other times.
After Specter had stroll through the Central Park, everyone took notice of Specter walking around as if this was normal. Many people began to panic as they rush their way out before anything bad happen. By this time our group of friends have realize, people are starting to scream out of fear of their lives. Not sure why until they saw someone walking with a smirk they are all to familiar.
"SPECTER! They cried out, shock by his forward approach and how he is simply moving towards them as if nothing is wrong. Once he was close enough, specter took this moment to see their expression. Honestly surprise himself that he was willing to march right in front of them this way.
"Hello my Arch-enemies, isn't it a beautiful day for relaxation, summer parties, going to the beach, and more importantly world Domination!" Specter said with an evil smile and his left hand balled into a fist.
It didn't take long for them to ready themselves as they got into their fighting stance, despite the fact they don't possess any weapons they weren't willing to run away because of Specter.
"You have a lot of nerve coming here Specter. Just what are you planning this time!?" Spike demanded along with everyone else thinking the same as him.
"What? Can't I see my best friends out about?" Spike, Jimmy, and Jake rush in to attack him, only for Specter to somehow vanish appear between the groups. Kei and Yumi had join in the fight as they tried tackling him, While the rest keep themselves back in case he would try something. Again he vanish before appearing behind Spike, Jimmy, and Jake once more, making all three jump back with Kei and Yumi.
"What's the matter, think I might bite. I know we had our differences, but I want us to become friends." This only made some angry, especially Jake since he is the first to be brainwash to become his right hang man.
"Like we'll believe that. What are you planning this time!" Jake angrily shouted as he personally dislike Specter since their first encounter.
Specter only chuckled knowing some inside joke, "I simply want us to be friends, after all this time I thought we had something special. If you join me now, I'll let the human race rule their own part of the world. While I can rule my part as leader of monkey kind." Seeing how friendly he is to them, Specter seemed different. This honestly creep them out from how he normally acts around humans, in fact he doesn't have so much as arrogance when he speaks towards them.
"Forget it, we'll never join you or your monkey army. We would rather fight you to the end instead of helping you harm others." Shouted Yumi, this had Specter laugh to himself knowing they would fight instead of joining him. But he figure it would have been unsporting of him to fight with his new powers out of the bat,
"Very well, I wanted to be fair since you have no gadgets with you this time, but now I won't hold back." As both arms cross each other almost touching his shoulders, an dark purple aura appeared surrounding his body as the darkness soon bend to his command. Soon his eyes glowed with lightish-purple as he unleashed the darkness building up inside with his hand spread out creating a dark wave that nearly forced the group fly backwards.
"W-What the heck is this!"
"This power... This isn't his normal powers!"
"It almost feels like some vortex ready to swallow me whole."
The five of them soon felt overwhelm by this new dark powers that Specter is showing off. Unsure what he'll do or what powers he has obtain, even the reckless hero Spike felt very cautious as he acknowledge this new level of danger that Specter is demonstrating. Once it was settle Specter calm himself taking some deep breaths then shot his head up with an grin and glowing eyes staring at their eyes. What happen next left them unaware their surrounds as this battle become more dangerous then any times they have fought before.
City of Apes - Zoro, Cloud, Auron, and Leon
"We're lost are we?" Leon said calmly as possible as his eyes closed with his arms cross as his right eyebrow twitch in annoyance. Where they are located is unknown since they somehow manage to end themselves at some random jungle, outside the city and any known locations on the map. This lead them to realize how while talking to themselves, should have been aware where they are located and Zoro is known for getting himself and others lost.
"Shut up, we're not lost. I swear your as bad like the rest when they get lost." Zoro said frustrate at their circumstance.
"YOUR THE ONE LEADING US, SO YOU GOT US LOST!" Leon yelled now angry at Zoro for being dumb with his sense of direction. Which actually makes for sense to the three swordsmen as they realize that Luffy being captain, his right hand man is somewhat the same level of idiocy as Luffy.
"I swear, when we get back I'm going to beat you senseless when I have the chance." Cloud commented as his one hand ready to grab his buster sword out of being really angry with Zoro. Out of the four swordsmen only Auron remained calm as being the oldest among the swordsmen. While they were about to get into a fight, all four of them sense something ready to attack.
"Hey, if your looking for a fight. You came at the wrong time pal, show yourself if you value your life." Zoro warned their suppose attacker, at first nothing happen until smoke started to form. From this smoke two figures appeared, one of them as it's body covered in smoke almost as if it is made of smoke itself. The other is more clear as they can still this individual is some armored knight in violet color. What stands out is the individual not only is feminine, but also how supposedly female has two blades on her sides with one big sword behind her back almost similar to Cloud's buster sword. The two groups stare at each other gauging their strength or will as no doubt are heartless symbol the violet armor warrior.
"Outsiders, heed this warning as we spared you from our attack. If we wanted to, you would be dead as you stand. But from one warrior to another, I am willing to hear your reasoning for visiting this world. If you are not to interfere, we will spare your life. Do oppose us, and none shall survive our might." The smoke figure said as he drew his sword's tip, letting them know they will attack if they are threaten. For our swordsmen, they saw something was about to go down. So in response, they waited as they slowly grab their swords before both parties will strike. But one thing is clear to the Committee, these two are heartless that somehow gain sentience.
Specter's Hidden Base
"Hurry up, we need to fast forward our plans, I have a good feeling about this one." Spector shouted rubbing his hands in anticipation. Ordering his monkey allies to construct some form of robots with different shapes and sizes. As he ordered them alongside the Heartless known as Powerwild, Bouncywild, with new types in order Crazy Ape, Big King, Mafichimp, and GoroBreak
"Lord Specter, when will you have us move out?" Spoke Spector's new squad known as Freakish Shadow 10. While they are Heartless, they are given intelligence for the first time using the Pipo Helmets to increase their intelligent. This individual is known as Crimson Ninja, his appearance consist of dark red clothes like ninja, some of it's skin expose the shoulders to the wrist, red glove covering both hands, and some purple like rob covering his head except the eyes where you see crimson like eyes glow.
"In just moment Crimson, I want this plan to be prefect. Have you spotted the targets I ordered." Specter asked making sure his new minions follow orders.
"Yes Lord Specter, the individuals you have requested shall be exterminated or capture. Although I prefer eating for my cravings and for the heartless I command." While they had recently given higher IQ's thanks to the Pipo Helmets, they are at core the heartless made of pure darkness. For these individuals they were once weak heartless, but through their helmets, Specter gave them purpose for his plans that are now highly evolve heartless with more power then they were once before.
"Hold your cravings, right now I need those people alive. If you can bring me those children that have stood in my way along with the professor, I might reward you with their hearts." Normally Spector wouldn't be so willing to kill people, but the shrouding darkness seems to grow ever stronger now he has more power then he can admit.
"One more thing, if you be so kind. We once mention a small project we wanted to our Heartless kind, the targets are nearly within your grasp, if there is time..."
"Very well, you may finish your pet project. But don't take too late, I need you here as soon as my plans are ready." Crimson Ninja bow before heading out to meet his comrades. As he walk off he encounter some Monkeys that are preparing their next master's grand plan. As he traveled he eventually met with his closet friend and second in command name Marine Virtual. This one wore a lab coat in Dark aqua with Green googles over his eyes, underneath Navy wore white long pants with Brown shoes, his skin is expose under his coat with a neckless attach to what appears as some microchip that can be plug into any computers. What's about this one is how human this individual appears with actual blue spike hair nearly similar to Specter's with only key difference is his hair isn't covered by any helmet.
"Hello Marine, how our project soon finish?" Crimson asked, as Marine seemed to typing as he examine his task personally.
"So far everything is going as plan, my satellites have discovered visitors from another world." Surprise by this Marine type some command to show on split screen a pirate ship with two individuals Franky and Cid, alongside Helga, Pipo Snake, and Casi captured on the other.
"Are they keyblade wielders?" Mentioning the Heartless greatest enemies had made them tighten their fist with Marine shaking on the keyboard. Even now all Heartless know and fear the keyblade and their wielders. Marine shook his head before saying, "No, but it appears they do possess some form of magic that allow them to harm the heartless, and by their other comrades they have strong hearts. While the keyblade is truly the only method to destroy us, that doesn't mean they aren't a threat. In fact I had discovered that these so called travels are pirates." Crimson snorted at the mention of pirates, while not human they somewhat obtain certain knowledge of the realms of light. Pirates being one of those certain knowledge, this almost made him laugh if he didn't hold himself back.
"Pirates, such black hearted fools. They will be most delicious meals after all this is over, especially the one name Specter. The darkness is growing within his heart, soon he'll be ripe for the taking. But first, our plans must be realize before Specter's plans are finished." Crimson boast with confidents, given greater intelligence had made them somewhat arrogant, assuring themselves that this plan will succeed.
"Not to worry, with their ship captured and their friends, our plan can now increase 5 times quicker then expected even before Specter's plans are finish." Marine told Crimson, this made chuckle as soon they will show this world what Heartless are truly capable in their destructive force.
Shopping Mall - Luffy, Nami, and Yuffie
"NAMIII, can't you remove this collar, please!" Luffy whined trying to remove his leash that is strap to his neck. When traveling towards the city, some of the locals saw Luffy walking around half-human, half-monkey like appearance. Some of the police told Nami and Yuffie to keep their pet monkey on a leash. The police explained that some incident involving a albino Monkey name specter trying to take over the world few times. This made Nami and Yuffie question this man's insanity or why they fear some monkeys would take over the world. Then again they are in another world which makes the situation even less sense. But due to monkeys being part of animal rights like the rest of animal kingdom species. Luffy being mistaken as some pet monkey is ordered to have an leash if they plan to bring him along.
"Now Luffy, we have to keep the world order in check. After all we don't want to cause trouble now." Nami told Luffy with a bright smile as she went on to shopping with Yuffie. Although Nami may look happy and pure, deep down she is enjoying herself for once without some crazy fight going down because of Luffy or someone being dumb. The leash is attach to her right wrist from what the policemen gave to her for Luffy. Apparently there are some people who are trying to help some animals despite what this albino monkey has done to the world. They said it was some small group who are working on some monkey project. Afterwards they are given some device to keep Luffy from doing something bad.
As she walks down the mall with Luffy sometimes trying to find places to eat food. Yuffie somewhat pity Luffy for his predicament, but also can't blame Nami as she hears some crazy stories from their adventures. Apparently lots of her frustrations is because of his reckless behavior and getting into trouble most of the time. No doubt Luffy could have force his way out himself, but despite his strength he is doing his best to behave with great resistance whenever food reaches his nose. Nami promise to take the leash off when she's done shopping, he could have easily used his strength to escape. But to her surprise he's listening to Nami as they walk around.
"But Nami, I want to try out some food, can't we at least take one restaurant to try out." This earn him a scolding as Nami is telling him reason not to and why he would leave them broke. Yuffie can only respect Luffy who is restraint from fighting back, that and he must really care for his crew members. She knows they are pirates, but they don't act like your average pirates. Luffy ended up with carrying possibly 10 bags of new clothes Nami wanted to try out with half being Yuffie's as well. Nami also warned Luffy if he drops them or gets her new clothes messed up she will beat him to a pulp. After sometime, they soon heard screaming as they started to see people runaway towards their directions.
"What the heck is going on?" Asked Yuffie as Nami look on wondering the same thing. Nami taking action grab the first person she can reach, hoping there be answers to what is happening.
"Hold it, what going on and why everyone is running?" The man in questioned is scared and is ready to shove Nami, after he told her what she needed.
"Those monkeys are at it again, no doubt that Albino Monkey is trying to take over the world. Even worst there are some dark creatures joining them." The man said panicking as he force himself out of Nami's grasp before running, "I'm leaving this town, I rather deal with gangsters then some crazy monkeys with monsters." he shouted as he ran. The three glance at one another before letting Luffy set the bags down, and following Yuffie who lead them towards the so called monkey invasion with possible heartless as no calls monsters dark creatures.
Coming around the corner, they soon witness something very odd and strange. The monkeys with helmets and different color pants are attacking everything they can possibly find while searching for bananas some have stolen.
The three could not help, but tilt their heads at this weird invasion of monkeys, "...Well, you don't see that everyday?" Nami spoke almost whispering as she had to debate either should they attack or just stand by as they seem harmless if not dumb as some of them seemed more interest in goofing off. However a monkey with black pants, sunglass and tie took notice as he carrying his machine gun getting himself in range to fire.
"Is that a monkey holding a gun?!" Yuffie asked herself, getting her answers as they force themselves down from being fired at them. that was their last mistake as Nami found herself angry with her teeth grinding together, "That's it, I'm not going to stand around and let some dumba&$ monkeys try to ruin this moment." Nami push the device holding Luffy as his collar came off.
"Luffy, beat them to a pulp for ruining my shopping day."
"THAT'S YOUR CONCERN!" Yuffie shouted in surprise, as Luffy got up and charge at the Monkeys, unaware of their beat down.
One thing that is somewhat a struggle is the Straw Hat character who they are before the time skip. I'm already caught up with the One Piece series in manga, but not anime. I guess it's because I prefer manga over the anime sometimes when certain series are available. I know when characters like Robin and Franky are involve using nicknames instead of saying their names. It's almost one of those things where if your read some story where some characters go through time skip to be better or stronger. Then something has to change before facing new changes in the future and stuff.
As for the changes in galaxy pirates, I wanted to give some details about the characters heroes and villains alike. As you might have notice there are small details about the important characters you will find and know latter on as you go by chapter to chapter. As stated there will be more OC creations, more for the Heartless, Nobodies, etc. just to make things interesting, and to keep the flow of Kingdom Hearts the same.
Not many realize this, but the enemies in Kingdom Hearts beside the people are mostly different depending on said world. Granted that's part of the game mechanics, but it's what makes up the average enemies from the villains on world and outer worlds. This means for most Kingdom Hearts in Fanfiction, I can say many stories don't follow this action, because it's too much. I understand, but for those reading this, know that I'm trying not to go average. Anyway here are some details of mostly heartless with some world characters as we progress.
World Villain: City of Apes
Specter - The Albino Monkey who was once average like any other his kind, one day he receive some gift granting him great intelligence and telepathic powers with other abilities through the Peak Point Helmets. Over the times he has tried world domination, he has been defeated by Spike's Team and other monkey hunters who have thwarted his plans over and over again.
World Heartless type: City of Apes
Crazy Ape - Unlike it's other heartless like monkeys, this one is purely unhinge with it's mouth open showing it's blue tongue hanging around its black teeth. Wearing some pair of broken glasses, the yellow eye is expose showing the swirls while the right eye is covered by the glass with a happy grin face.
Big King - Chubby like Heartless with the ability to stretch it's arms to 30 feet. It doesn't move as much relying on it's arm to defeat their opponents. This type is immobilized using dark portals to move one place or another for attacks.
Mafichimp - A Chimp like Monkey with dress suit in maroon with black strips and sunglass, it's skin is green carrying a tommy gun shooting 120 bullets every 30 seconds. They appear as Mafia gangsters keeping their distance for covering fire.
Gorobreak - This one has more a gorilla like appearance that allows it great strength to break down walls or heavy duty lifting. It has a breaker mode when rampage can't be stop until it cools off or kills the opponents.
Freakish Shadow Ten - A group of heartless given intelligence by the Peak Point Helmet Specter and his Monkey army used to increase their intelligent and power. This is what causing an innocent white monkey into a supervillain known as Specter. Through this incident the newly born Heartless are now able to think and speak like any human. Through the Peak Point Helmets they also gain unique abilities and powers to symbolize each individual personality or traits. While their names come in color names, they also carry another name to show their individualism.
Crimson Ninja - Leader of his own minions called Invisible Red, like his minions Crimson using about the same tactics. Only difference is his intelligence thanks to the Peck Point Helmet and his greater skill in close combat. For his Minions, Crimson is the head chief training his heartless armies in the way of dark ninja code. While Loyal to Specter in thanks for giving them intelligence, but like all heartless Crimson can follow his impulse for hearts, as such it can be said his intentions haven't been shown yet.
Invisible Red - As the name stated they have the ability to turn invisible when fighting their opponents. It only last for short time as their invisibility will only work when they run/hide from their opponents. But like the boss they are also Ninja, following the code of Dark Ninja they use deception as their main strategy to make quick work of their opponents. The only weapons used is shuriken attach to their bodies, for close combat they used kunai to stab or climb on walls.
Marin Virtual - The true Genius who focus on technological skills and support to his allies. This one appears to command another form of dark entities called Bug Blox with his own armies under his command. Second to Crimson, this one help advance their plans while serving both masters. Unlike Crimson willing to serve Specter, Marine will only his own kind so long as someone is in charge.
Aqua Web - Under the command of Marine Virtual, they function more as computer programs then actual enemies. This allows them to phase through attack of their choosing, but when attacking they instead phase through them. The color lines represents certain abilities when face with their targets. The Black allow them to infect and transform others into Aqua Webs, the purple is used to cause system shutdown in technology or people depending on target, the red is what allows them to direct psychical contact for confronting enemies.
