Cerberus lifted up its head, its eyes glowing darker red than ever before as it snarled at the heroes in front of it. The monster lifted up his front two paws and slammed them back down on the ground. "Move!" The muscular man in the brown tunic shouted at the others before dodging to the right. He barely avoided a large black pillar of darkness that shot out of the ground into the sky.

"Usopp," Luffy whispered again, staring at the man with the long nose as he dodged dark explosions. The pirate captain had to dodge as well as a small dark pool formed below him indicating an attack was about to happen.

Nami still couldn't believe what she just saw. She stumbled up to her feet and stared ahead as the muscular fighter rolled out of the way of a paw coming down at him and then leapt over the jaw of a snapping dog's mouth. He landed on top of its body and started slashing down on its back with his strength behind him knocking its legs out from below him.

"Thunder!" Donald shouted.

"Fire!" Luffy called out and followed up Donald's attack.

"Blizzard!" Sora shouted and tested out the new magic ability he learned that shot out a cold blast that merged with the other two attacks and created a massive explosion that surrounded all of the dog's heads. It stumbled around for a few seconds and then collapsed to its knees, growling and trying to push itself back up but failing.

All three heads fell to the dirt below and sand clouds rose up around them. "We did it!" Everyone started cheering as the cloud cleared and they saw the form of the knocked out dog in front of them.

The fighter in the bronze tunic swiped his sword back and forth in the air and then put it over his right shoulder. He took a deep breath and then turned around, coming face to face with Luffy and Nami.

The two of them stared at Usopp from head to toe. He just stood there basking in their gazes and he flicked his nose, "pretty impressive huh?" He smirked as Nami's eyes shot up from his large biceps and looked in his face with shock. Usopp thought she would turn away, or get angry at him, but she didn't.

Nami took a step towards the sniper. She had a soft expression on her face and she held out a hand, touching him on the cheek. "What happened to you?" Her words made Usopp flinch, and he looked away.

He realized that they didn't just look like they hadn't aged a day, it really had been that long for them. From the second he saw them, he wanted to do this and now was his chance. "Nami, Luffy," he reached his arms out to either side of him and grabbed the two teens in front of him.

"Oof," Luffy felt his eyes getting squeezed out of his head he was being hugged so hard. "Good to see you too Usopp. Haha," he chuckled and asked, "what's up with your hair?"

The man blinked a few times and released them from his embrace. His curly black hair was behind his head falling down to his shoulders, but he thought the captain would've noticed the other differences first. It made him laugh, and he couldn't stop once he started. "Luffy," he calmed himself between laughs, "I missed you a lot."

"Usopp, tell me," Nami urged him. She had a bad feeling from the things the man had said to her so far. "What happened?"

"Yeah," Sora added from behind them. He wasn't included in the warm reunion, but he was still confused, "How'd you get so... big?"

The man sighed, "I guess I'll start from the beginning." He walked over and grabbed the helmet that was knocked off his head, putting it in the crook of his arm while he spoke. "After I was taken by the darkness, I appeared here, at the Coliseum. A few smooth talks later, and I'd convinced them I was a mighty hero. I spent the first month looking around and mainly just waiting for someone to show up."

"Wait, wait, wait!" Luffy stopped him and waved his hands in front of his face frantically. "What do you mean the first month? It's only been a couple of days."

"Is that really all it's been for you?" Usopp asked in a soft tone. Luffy's eyes went wide and Nami put her hand over her mouth, suspecting a similar situation, but hoping it wasn't true. "For me," he started and the others held their breath, "it's been three years."

Nobody spoke.

"Once I gave up on waiting, I needed something to do. So I told them this world sapped my strength and I needed a new trainer. Phil decided to help me out and I was here for a while before Herc came around. Man, if you think I was skinny, you shoulda seen what he was..."

"THREE YEARS!" Nami, Luffy, and Sora all shouted at him and made him stumble backwards in shock. They interrupted his story and Sora was the first one to continue though all their voices just spoke over each other.

"Did my friends spend that much time in one of these worlds? We have to go quick! They could be aging year by year as we speak!" The boy was frantic and Donald and Goofy tried to calm him down as the pirates yelled amongst themselves.

"You couldn't have been here for three years," Luffy stated and crossed his arms. He didn't want to believe it and neither did the navigator.

"But this doesn't make sense," Nami said firmly. Usopp turned to the angry navigator and she continued, "I was sent to a different world as Luffy but when he found me it had been the same amount of time for both of us. Why was it different for you?!"

"Hey don't get mad at me," Usopp told her and held up his hands in mock surrender. The orange haired woman lost her mad face in an instant and stared ahead at the man in front of her with water forming at the bottoms of her eyes. He noticed the change in her demeanor and said, "It's not your fault Nami."

"But we left you behind," she yelled back at him. Luffy was turned around with a surprised look seeing the woman with tears in her eyes. "We left you to those things and you got taken."

"I told Chopper to take you and run. It's neither of your faults that you did what I said," he smiled at her, "and even after spending three years here, without my friends, I never regretted that decision."

Luffy's eyes slowly widened. He was only just now wrapping his mind around the idea of Usopp not lying this time. The man really was three years older than before.

"Captain Lazerblades!" The group turned and saw a panting Phil running towards them. Hercules was next to him looking like he wasn't winded at all. "Good, you managed to defeat Cerberus."

"Couldn't have done it without my old friends here," he said and the other two opened their eyes wide.

"You mean it kid? These runts are from your world?" Phil looked at each of them again. "Didn't think you had it in you," he was surprised they beat the guardian of the underworld.

"Does this mean..." Hercules started with a saddened face.

"Yes it does," Usopp said in a heroic voice and stood up tall. "It has been fun spending these last few years with you guys, but a hero's duties are never truly finished. Thanks again Phil for the training," he added at the end and smiled at the goat man.

"Yeah don't mention it," the pink hairy man replied with a shake of his hand, but he also looked sad to see Usopp go.

"So," Luffy began, "you're coming with us?" The sniper was surprised by the question but looking at his captain, he saw the teen's face also full of guilt.

"Of course Luffy," he assured with a wide smile.

The captain grinned back and pumped a fist in the air, "Yosh! Two down, four to go!"

Nami elbowed the insensitive captain in the side and motioned over to Sora with her head. They looked over and the kid was kicking a foot in the sand knocking up small dust clouds. She looked back to Usopp who she felt she had some major catching up to do with on the ship, and explained how Sora's friends were missing on other worlds just like theirs.

"Why'd she call you Usopp?" Hercules questioned his training partner for the past year.

"Anyway," the pirate dodged the question, "hey Phil when will the next games be?"

"Probably won't be any for a while." He stuck a thumb over his shoulder, "Gotta clean this mess up first, and without you here it'll take twice as long."

Herc understood what that meant for him and moaned. "Haha, I'll get right on it," his cheerful mood never disappeared and he already started running off to grab a pillar the dog knocked down. "When we get this place together, come back. We'll have a new tournament set up!"

"You got it," Usopp agreed.

"Yeah! I want to fight in a tournament here," Luffy said and turned to the kid behind him. "It's gonna be funnn," Sora lifted his head and looked at the pirate. A smile broke out on his face and he jumped up.

"Yeah we'll win it for sure!" The spiky haired fourteen year old chanted.

"I hope we find Zoro or Sanji by then, I know they'll definitely want to be in it." Luffy was talking to Sora as the Disney creatures introduced themselves to Usopp.

Nami was with Donald and Goofy as they talked to the sniper, but she saw his face distort when he heard Luffy say the others' names.

"Let's get back to the ship guys," Sora called out. "We can head straight to the next world from here!" Riku, Kairi, I hope you guys haven't aged. If you did, we'll still be friends right? He shook his head and smiled, of course they'd still be friends.

"Hey Usopp," Nami started and the two of them slowed down to walk behind the others towards the courtyard. "Has anyone else besides us shown up here?"

"What? I don't know what you're..." the large man had gotten better at lying, but this was a subject that made sweat droplets appear on his face and he knew Nami noticed them. "Yes, one member of the crew got here before you did. Nami," he stopped and turned to face the woman completely.

She looked at him oddly and was starting to feel a little nervous, "I don't want you to tell Luffy. I'll let him know, but right now it would probably hurt him too much."

"What happened, are they alright?" Nami was afraid whoever showed up here wasn't here anymore because something bad happened to them.

"Yes, don't worry. He's perfectly fine." The sniper looked up at the sky and then back down at the woman. He took a deep breath and slowly lifted the tunic off his head. Nami would have admired the perfectly toned abs and pecs on him, if it weren't for the large scar going from his right shoulder down to his waist. "But he's not the same."

"Zoro?" Nami asked, looking into the man's eyes. His thoughts betrayed him and the woman knew immediately, "But why would he..."

"Nami, when he showed up, Hercules wasn't even here yet. Phil started training me and I was kicking butt for the first time in my life, it felt great. I got to the finals of a tournament, my first finals match." He paused as they heard the others calling them from up ahead and had to start walking to catch up with them. "At first I barely recognized him, but there aren't many people with that color hair." He chuckled at the thought and then became deadly serious, "He scared the shit out of me Nami."

"What do you mean?" she was already unnerved by the fact Zoro had hurt him, but the way it sounded, it was more than that.

"Back then I'd only been there for a few months, but when I saw Zoro, I knew it had already been years for him." Her eyes opened wide as saucers, "Much longer than I've spent here now. Five years, six, I don't know, but add three more on top of that," the man shook his head and grabbed a white sash from his waist and lifted it over his shoulder to cover the scar and clothe himself.

Then how old is he now? Nami shuddered, imagining what it would be like to be lost in these distant worlds for years. I probably wouldn't have made it, but Zoro's strong.

"He was big. Broad at the shoulders, muscular, dark," he stopped there and repeated, "He was very dark."

"Did he say anything?" Nami asked, already knowing she wasn't going to like the answer.

"Not at first," Usopp responded, "he ignored everything I was telling him about finding Luffy and getting back. Then he disappeared. When he reappeared he was right behind me and I had this giant slash down my body." Nami was stunned by the heartless action; the gladiator continued, "Then, as I was bleeding on the floor, he looked down on me and spoke. 'Don't wait around for him to come get you. I did, for years.' That bit stuck with me the most, but then he went on and rambled about opening your heart up to darkness and some crazy shit like that, it really freaked me out."

"But we did come," Nami said softly at the end of his speech.

"I knew you would," he smiled back at her. "I guess Zoro just went back to being a loner like when he was a pirate hunter." He saw her depressed look, "Hey, come on cheer up. Now that we've got a ship, we'll go to the other worlds and find the rest of the crew. Hopefully they'll be like you and Luffy and only have been there for a short time."

They made it to the front gates and stepped out to the edge of the world. The others were already getting into the ship and Usopp's eyes turned into sparkles as he saw it. "No way!" he ran past the woman to argue with the others about driving.

She sighed and followed after him. Zoro, what happened to you? Her head lifted up and she looked out in the stars.

"No way Usopp, we already made the rotation and you weren't in it," Sora stated and crossed his arms. Donald agreed and grabbed the wheel for his turn.

"No fair," the man argued with the child, "I wasn't here for making the rotation so now we have to add me into it. Here I'll start now," he grabbed the wheel from Donald's hands just as Nami was stepping into the vehicle and the top closed. "Whoops," he said as he and Donald were wrestling for the controls and he accidentally pressed a button. "Wonder what that does?"

A mechanical woman's voice came out of the dashboard and spoke to them, "Thrusters engaged," the look on everyone's faces showed one word, 'uh-oh.'

"AHHHHH!" They screamed as the ship's rockets went full blast from their parked position and they skid across the ground before shooting straight off into the distance. The obstacles were coming at them faster than they could dodge and they were bouncing off of floating debris as the passengers were bouncing off each other.

It wouldn't have been as bad if Luffy didn't start cracking up in the middle of it since slamming into things in the ship didn't hurt him and it was a fun ride. Donald looked at some steam coming out of the gears up front, "She's not going to hold together for much longer!"

"Are we at the next world yet?!" Goofy shouted out before knocking heads with Usopp and both of them groaned.

"Not even close," the duck shouted back as he finally pulled himself into his seat and put on his seatbelt that they never had a chance to do before Usopp pressed the button. "I've got to make an emergency landing," the duck scouted out the area for somewhere to land. They had a set location they knew to go where they would find another world, but in the distance he saw a meteor that looked more oddly shaped than the rest. "I'm gonna set her down over there!"

"Quickly!" Nami urged. The ship spiraled out of control and as they hit the surface, the glass above them cracked. They all looked up and Luffy stopped laughing for a second as they realized something and their eyes went wide. "Ahh-" they were cut off as the glass broke and the water outside poured into the ship.

A/N Alright we're headed to a new world that wasn't in the original game! I hope you all like what happened to Usopp and the first glimpse of a new enemy in the game... Zoro! Wonder what I'm going to do with him now, but I've got a flashback episode for Maleficent I'm thinking about. Also, the other characters probably won't have aged like Usopp and Zoro did, but no promises. Anyway, thanks for the reviews and please leave me some more telling me what you think of these developments and what world you think the characters just got to, it could literally be anywhere.

No you really don't understand what a game mechanic is heartless get destroyed in cut scenes and drop NOTHING as far as money that could be from anywhere such as donlad and goffy's wages from working for the king and yes munny exist without the heartless have you not played KH2 roxas gets some from doing small jobs

Chill with the money thing man, it's not even very important to the plot. There'll be some scenes where Nami gets mad about leaving behind money orbs when they have to run, but that's about it. I have played KH2 and gotten money that way, I understand game mechanics fine, I'm just having that game mechanic in the crossover just like the health. Calm your tits.

Love what your doing with this crossover.

Thanks a lot! Hope you like this new development XD!
