I don't own Kingdom Hearts and Descendants. Only thing I own is the idea of Sora, Riku and Kairi being related to Disney characters(I did this as a last minute thing in Big Four's Adventure with Sora to Sora and Kairi but I'm not sure if people noticed.) If you wanna know the reason, go to the first announcement chapter.
The rest of the chapters are mainly gonna be in Ben's, Donald's, Goofy's, Jay's, Mal's, Evie's, Riku's and Sora's pov in each world. I'm also gonna do the povs of some of the minor characters but of the older characters(if they have a sibling)(i.e Alex, Blaze, Calliope, Devon, Eric, Gabriel, Hallie, Jacie and Matthew). I'm also gonna do povs of characters that don't have a sibling(i.e Chelsea and Izkander). As well as doing Elijah's pov and Zephyr's because he's in this story. Lonnie and Jane are in this story too but I'm not gonna do their povs in this one.
This might be a boring chapter with all of the names that Ben's gonna read off but I promise that it would get interesting in the later chapters! Please read this story with an open mind and know that I'm not trying to make boring chapters. If you still feel like this story's not interesting you after this chapter and decide that you wanna leave it then I understand your decision and I thank you for keeping an open mind this far.
Chapter two: Traverse Town/Hollow Bastion
Goofy's pov:
I was walking with Donald when I looked up and noticed something so I stopped walking. "Huh?" I asked but I didn't notice Donald glaring at me. I pointed up at the sky.
"Wow." Donald said after I noticed that he looked up too.
"Look, a star's goin' out!" I said.
We watched the star blinking out until it was gone. We looked at each other. "Come on. Let's hurry." He said. I nodded and followed him. "Where's that key..." He trailed off.
"Hey, ya know, maybe we ought to go find Leon." I said, looking at him as we walked. We went up some steps. I noticed Pluto going towards a different direction and stopped walking again. I looked at Donald. "Uh, Donald. Ya know, I betcha that..." I started as I was looking at him.
Donald stopped walking. "Aw, what do you know, you big palooka?" He asked and walked again.
I looked towards the direction Pluto went. "What do I know? Hmm... Come on, Pluto." I said and walked after Donald.
Sora's pov:
I felt something, groaned softly and opened my eyes. My vision was a bit blurry but it was clearing up as I saw a yellow dog sitting. "What a dream..." I said then I closed my eyes, only to be pounced on by the dog. That really woke me up. "This isn't a dream!" I said. "Where am I?" I asked after I got up on my feet. "Oh, boy." I said, softly then leaned towards the dog. "Do you know where we are?" I asked the dog. The dog's ear perked up then ran off. "Hey..." I said to the dog as we watched it running off. I sighed then walked out of the alleyway with Ben and Mal after they had also woken up. "This is totally weird... I'm in another world!" I said. We explored the square a bit then noticed a store at the top of the steps. We went back up the steps and went into the store. We looked around the store a bit. It was a small shop with a fireplace on the side and a seating area not far from it. On the ceiling, there was a ladder that was in front of a hatch of some sort. I looked at a counter and saw a man with blonde hair behind it.
"Hey there, how can I..." The man was about to ask as he turned around to look at us. "Aw, it's only three kids." He said.
"We're not kids! And the names are Sora, Ben and Mal!" I said, walking to the counter with Ben and Mal.
"Okay, okay, simmer down. So why the long faces, Sora, Ben and Mal? You three lost or somethin'?" The man asked.
"No! Well maybe. Where are we?" I asked.
"Huh?" The man asked.
"Traverse Town... So, gramps, is this really another world?" Sora asked.
"Don't call me gramps! The name's Cid! Anyway... Not sure what you're talking about, but this sure ain't your island or your castle." The man named Cid said.
"Hmm... Guess I'd better start looking for Riku and Kairi." I said.
"Well, good luck with whatever it is you are doing." Cid said.
"Wait! You said island. You do know something. What are you not telling us?" Mal asked, looking at Cid.
"Fine! Before you three showed up in this town, there were some newcomers and two of the some came into this shop with a dog." Cid said.
"Do you remember what they looked like?" Mal asked.
"It was a boy and a girl. The boy had black and white hair with chocolate brown eyes and freckles on his face. He was wearing a half-black and half-white jacket with hints of red. He was holding a dog with golden fur." Cid said.
"And the girl?" Ben asked. "The girl had brown hair and light green eyes. She was wearing a blue dress with a pink bow in the center." Cid said.
"Do you know where they are?" Mal asked.
"They might be in the Second District." Cid said.
"All right, thanks." I said.
"No problem. If either of you ever run into trouble, you come to me. I'll look out for you three." He said.
The three of us left the shop and asked around a bit but I didn't get much information so I decided to look around for myself. I eventually found a big door with a huge triangle on it. I pushed it and found myself in another part of the town. This must be the Second District Cid was talking about. I thought as I looked around it a bit from where I was standing then saw a man running away from something, only for him to trip and fall onto his back. I watched in horror as a heart-shaped heart was coming out of the man's chest, watching the man disappear and the heart-shaped heart going to a small portal then saw a creature wearing armor then disappeared shortly after. I ran to the spot where the man was, only to be surrounded by shadowy creatures. It's those creatures from the island! I thought. I fought them then looked around a bit again. We noticed a hotel and went over to it.
Normal mode:
Sora, Ben and Mal walked into the hotel but didn't notice Donald and Goofy walked into the Second District.
"Doesn't look like he's here." Goofy said, looking around from where he was.
"Keep looking!" Donald said, tapping his foot while having his arms crossed his chest as Goofy walked away from him.
Sora, Ben and Mal walked along the hall as they tried every room. They left the hotel and noticed a door at the top of some steps. They went to the door, only to see that two of the shadowy creatures appeared. They rushed into the building that read gizmo shop above the doors.
At the same time that the three of them rushed into the gizmo shop, Donald and Goofy walked out of the hotel. "Hmph. Where is he?" Donald asked, looking around from where he and Goofy were at.
"Leeeooon!" Goofy called, looking from where he was with Donald.
Once inside the gizmo shop, Sora, Ben and Mal noticed that it wasn't a shop at all. It was more of a factory. They walked but was surrounded by the creatures. He fought them off as they was running to the other side of the gizmo 'shop.' They ran out of the 'shop' and took a few deep breaths when they heard a voice from under them. They looked down and saw a boy there. Mal smiled as she recognized the boy. "Carlos!" She said and jumped down.
"Mal! Ben!" The boy named Carlos said, smiling back after looking up at the three. Both Mal and Carlos hugged each other. That was when Carlos noticed another boy with them. "Oh! I'm Carlos DeVil." He said.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Sora!" Sora said.
"Nice to meet you too." Carlos said, smiling. "We should get inside. Just so we can get everything settled." He said.
"Good idea." Ben said. The four of them walked into the house.
Meanwhile, Donald and Goofy had just left the gizmo 'shop' at the same time that Carlos closed the doors behind him, Ben, Mal and Sora. "Not here, either." Donald said, tapping his foot again with his arms crossed across his chest again.
"This could take a while..." Goofy trailed off, looking from where they were at.
Mal's pov:
"...Go jump off a cliff!" Daniela snarled at Zander.
"Dani, he's just trying to get into your head. Calm down, please." Jianjun said, trying to calm her down.
"Go get trapped in a necklace!" Zander snarled back at her.
"Zan, please calm down. For me." Calliope pleaded as she stood in front of him.
"Guys please! We shouldn't be fighting!" Jane pleaded.
"You three honestly think that your pleadings are gonna get them to stop from trying to kill each other? Pathetic." Cassia said, smirking.
"Will you just shut up, Cassia!? You were the one that started this!" Chelsea snarled at her.
"Okay guys, enough. We need to find out who's here and who's not. When I call your name, just say here so I can check your name off. Agnes." Ben said. No response. "Agnes." He said again. Nothing. "Okay, no Agnes. Alex." He said. No response again. "Alex." He said again. Still nothing. "All right, no Alex either. Alexei." He said.
"He's not here." Mal said.
"Thank you. Ally Kingsley." Ben said. He didn't get a response. "Ally." He said again. Nothing. "Okay, no Ally. Amelia Radcliffe." He said.
"Here!" Amelia said.
"Thanks Amy. Annie Kingsley." Ben said, checking Amy's name off.
"Annie's not here either, Ben." I said, adding Annie's name to a list I made. I had Agnes, Alex and Ally on the list too but the three names were above Annie's.
"Oh okay. Anxelin Fitzherbert. Okay, no Anxelin. Arden Hatter." Ben said. "No Arden either? Okay. Ash." He said. No response. "Okay, Ash's not here either. Audrey." He said. "No Audrey either? That's fine. Ava DeVil." He said.

"Thanks. I know Carlos is here because he was outside with me, Mal and Sora so Casey." Ben said as he checked off Calliope's name and Carlos' name off.
"Here." Casey said.
"Thank you. Cassia DeVil." Ben said.

"Thanks. Chad Charming." Ben said. No response. "Okay, no Chad either. Chelsea." He said.
"Here." Chelsea said. She had red hair like Amelia but she was wearing a red shirt and tan pants.

I chuckled. "Of course you know that. I've been helping you with this list." I said, adding Loren and Maggie to my list. He chuckled now.

"Thanks and lastly Zephyr." Ben said, checking off Zander's name. "Okay, no Zephyr. Thank you all very much for staying here this long so I can check off who's here and who isn't." Ben said, beaming.
"Yeah, yeah. Can we go now? This girl needs to do some shopping to get away from all you losers." Cassia said.
"Do you ever think about anyone but yourself?" Chelsea snarled.
"Oh darling, no because I can't even stand to look at you all. It's absolutely ghastly how out of fashion most of you girls are. And childish I might add since some of you are wearing bows in your hair. Olivia over here for example." Cassia said, waving her hand over at Olivia.
"I swear if you mess with her, I will get you." Julie snarled, glaring at Cassia.
"Mess with her? Darling I have no idea what you're talking about! I'm only trying to steer her into the right direction...she is so easily manipulated after all." Cassia feigned fake innocence.
"That's it!" Julie snapped and got up, only to be held back down to the seat by Olivia. "Get off and let me at her!" She snarled as she tried getting up again.
All of a sudden, we heard a throat clear and we looked over to see that it belonged to Sora.
"Oh, right! Guys, this is Sora. He's looking for his two best friends. Their names are Riku and Kairi." Ben told them.
At the mention of Riku, Ivan and William each perked their heads up and looked at Sora. Ivan went over to Sora. "You know Riku?" She asked.
Sora looked at Maya and nodded. "Yeah, he's my best friend. Have you seen him or Kairi?" He asked. He sighed as he saw Ivan shaking her head no. "Oh." He said, softly.
"You'll find them, Sora. I have a feeling you will." Jane told him, smiling reassuringly.
Sora smiled at her. "Thanks." He said then noticed two dogs with black spots. "Who are they?" He asked.
Carlos looked over at the two dogs. "Oh, those are Pongo and Perdita. They have lost their ninety-nine puppies." He said.
"Oh that's so sad." Ben said, looking at the two dalmatians when an idea struck him. "Hey, maybe Sora, Mal and I can find the puppies and bring them back." He said, smiling.
"That's a good idea. And while we're at it, if we find any of the other kids from our world, we'll bring them here too. So, where are you guys staying at?" I asked.
"Well, Amelia, Corey, Cassia, Ava, Dude and I are staying at this house." Carlos said.
"A few of us are staying at the hotel but a lot of us are staying in a few houses in the first district thanks to a man but I can't remember his name though. We've been here for two days and we use this house as a meeting place for now. Just to make sure we're all here." Jane said.
"Smart idea. Well, we should keep looking for Riku and Kairi just in case they're here in town somewhere." I said.
"Good luck, you three." A voice said. They looked over to see that the voice belonged to William.
Ben smiled. "Thank you, Will." He said and followed me, Carlos and Sora to the back of the house.
"A lot of them are missing the people they care about." Carlos said.
"I know Iz is missing Hallie and Chelsea's missing Ray but who else is missing someone?" Sora asked.
"Casey's missing Skylar, Bailey's missing Eric, Maria's missing Nathan, Elijah's missing Melody, Olivia's missing Garret and Kenric's missing Seraph." Carlos said.
Ben nodded softly. "We'll make sure we bring Garret, Seraph, Nathan, Melody, Eric, Skylar, Giselle, Hallie and Ray here for them along with the puppies for Pongo and Perdita." He said.
Carlos smiled. "I'll be sure to tell them that. Well, hope to see you guys when you come back." He said as he was being hugged tightly again by me.
"You guys stay safe." I told Carlos, hugging him tightly.
"We will." Carlos said, smiling.
Ben, Sora and I left through the alleyway shortly after. As the three of us walked through the alleyway, a tear fell down my cheek. I didn't bother to wipe it because even though I was leaving Carlos and the others behind, I was missing Evie and Jay. I knew Jay was in Agrabah but I didn't have a clue as to well Evie could be. I hoped more than anything that Evie was safe. I felt a hand gently brush against her cheek and I looked over to see that it was Ben's hand. I smiled softly at him because I knew that he knew what I was thinking about. That was when we noticed the creatures appearing again. We ran through the alleyway and went through the doors that read Second District above it. We didn't have the time to fight so we ran up the steps as soon as we got back to the second district and ran to the big wooden doors that led to the first district. "They're here too!? Where do we go? Wait! I know where we should go! Follow me!" Sora said and ran off down some steps. Ben and I followed him to a shop.
We closed the door behind them and each huffed a breath. "That was a close one." I said.
"Agreed." Sora said then we went over to Cid.
"Still haven't found 'em?" Cid asked.
"No." Sora said.
"Keep your chin up. Take another look around town. Just in case." Cid said. Sora nodded softly and we left the shop again.
"They'll come at you three out of nowhere." A voice said. The three of us turned around and saw a man with brown hair.
"Who are you?" Sora asked the man, glaring at him as he got ready to fight. Ben didn't like the looks of the man so he got ready too. I did too because I knew that Ben didn't like the looks of the man.
"And they'll keep on coming at you three, as long as you continue to wield the Keyblade and as long as you two behind him continue to fight alongside him." The man said, pointing at the keyblade then at me and Ben. "But why? Why would it choose a kid like you? And why would you two fight alongside him?" He asked, looking down a bit.
"Because it's the right thing to do." Ben snapped.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Sora asked.
"Never mind." The man said then looked back up at us. "Now, let's see that Keyblade." He said, walking towards us with his hand out towards Sora's weapon.
"What? There's no way you're getting this!" Sora said.
"You'll have to go through us to even go near Sora." Ben snarled.
"All right, then have it your way." The man said, ready to fight us. We fought against him and defeated him./
"Now...you're...gonna...you're gonna..." Sora trailed off as he fell back and was knocked out.
"Sora!" Ben said and went to his side. He tried waking him up.
"Aw, you're slipping, Leon." A voice said. Ben, the man named Leon and I looked over to see a girl with short black hair.
"I went easy on him." Leon said.
"Easy!? You call this easy!?" Ben snarled as he got up.
I looked at Ben and I saw the anger in his eyes. "Ben, think about what you're about to do." I said, trying to calm him down as I started walking over to him step by step. "Ben, no!" I said as I saw Ben advance towards Leon and started attacking him. I gasped softly as I watched Ben get knocked out. "Ben!" I said and rushed over to Ben's side. I tried waking him up.
"You wanna try fighting me too?" Leon asked me.
I looked up at him and glared but didn't move from my position.
"Thought so." He said then slightly looked at the girl next to him. "Looks like things are worse than we thought. A lot worse." He said. He went towards Sora, took the Keyblade from him, handed it to the girl, picked Sora up and walked back to the girl. He turned around and looked at me. "Follow us and bring him with you." He said.
I glared at him more but I got up, pulled Ben up and managed to follow Leon and the girl while holding Ben up on my own.
Riku's pov: (just for this small part)
I was unconscious then I woke up with a soft groan. "Where...am I?" I asked as I was getting up on my feet. I looked around me and saw water flowing up the wall of rock behind me that was when I realized something was missing. "Sora! Kairi!" I called but got no reply. I sighed softly then noticed a girl with blue hair unconscious on the ground near me. I rushed over to her. "Miss? Are you all right?" I asked, trying to wake her up.
The blue-haired girl groaned as she was waking up. "H-Huh?" She asked then looked at me. She sat up quickly. "Where am I? Who are you? Where are Ray, Dawn, Dylan and Doug?" She asked kinda quickly.
"I was hoping you would tell me where we are. My name's Riku. What's your name? Who are Ray, Dawn, Dylan and Doug?" I asked.
She looked around her some more. "This must Hollow Bastion." She muttered then looked back at me as we both stood up. "My name's Evie. Ray's my step-nephew, Dawn's my step-niece, Dylan's my brother and Doug's my boyfriend." She said. The two of us talked but little did we know that someone was watching us from afar.
Goofy's pov: (for this small part)
Donald and I were walking in the alleyway of the second district. "Gawrsh, there's nobody here. Sure is spooky!" I said.
"Aw, phooey. I'm not scared." Donald said, walking next to me. We didn't know that someone was following us as we walked. Next thing I knew it, I heard Donald scream and I felt him jump onto my back.
"Excuse me. Did the king send you?" A voice asked. We looked behind us and saw a woman with long brown slightly braided hair. She was wearing a pink jumpsuit and had a red bow in her hair.
Sora's pov:
"Come on, lazy bum. Wake up." I heard a voice say and it sounded like Kairi. I woke up and sat up when I saw her. "You okay?" She asked.
"I guess..." I said.
"Those creatures that attacked you three are after the Keyblade and because those two are fighting alongside you. But it's your heart they really want, because you wield the Keyblade." She said.
"I'm so glad that you're okay, Kairi." I said.
"Kairi? Who are you talking about?" She asked.
"I'm the great ninja Yuffie." A different voice said.
"Huh?" I asked and the image of Kairi was replaced to a woman with short black hair.
"I think you might've overdone it, Squall." The woman said, looking over at the man from earlier.
"That's Leon." The man named Squall/Leon said.
I looked at the weapon I had been carrying. "The Keyblade..." I said.
"Yeah, we had to get it away from you to shake off those creatures. It turns out that's how they were tracking you and the two that were with you." The woman named Yuffie said as she walked away then turned to the side and looked over at me.
"It was the only way to conceal your heart from them. But it won't work for long." Leon said, crossing his arms across his chest. "Still hard to believe that you of all people are the chosen one." He said, picking up the Keyblade and holding out to the side as I looked up at him. It disappeared from his hand and appeared in mine. "Well. I suppose beggars can't be choosers." He said, walking towards me a bit.
I glared at him. "Why don't you start making sense! What's going on here?" I asked when I realized something. "Wait! Where are Ben and Mal!?" I asked.
"He's asleep next to you, Sora." A voice said. Leon, Yuffie and I looked over at the door and saw Mal there. I saw her pointing to behind me so I looked and saw Ben there. "He attacked Leon out of anger when he saw you fall unconscious but he got hurt in the process. He should be waking up anytime soon. I'm glad you're okay, Sora." She said.
As if on cue, Ben groaned softly and sat up. He looked over at me. "Sora?" He asked.
I smiled. "Yeah, I'm okay. How about you? Mal said you got hurt trying to fight Leon to protect me." I said.
"I couldn't stand the fact that you got hurt, Sora." Ben said, smiling.
"Don't pull something like that again, Ben. You're not exactly light to carry." Mal joked. Ben and I looked over at Mal and chuckled.
"I'll remember that next time." Ben said.
Normal mode:
"Okay, you know there are many other worlds out there besides your castle and this town, right?" Aerith asked Donald and Goofy.
"Yeah." Donald said, nodded softly once.
"But they're supposed to be a secret." Goofy said, covering his mouth a bit.
"They've been secret because they've never been connected. Until now. When the Heartless came, everything changed." Aerith said, closing her eyes.
"The Heartless?" Sora asked, looking back at Leon.
"The ones who attacked you three, you remember?" Yuffie asked, slightly looking at Sora as she was sitting next to him. Ben and Mal each were sitting on a chair that they had put near the bed.
"Those without hearts." Leon said.
"So that man that we saw fall a few hours ago..." Ben trailed off.
"Lost his heart to the Heartless." Leon finished for Ben.
"That poor man." Mal said softly.
"The darkness in people's hearts- that's what attracts them." Yuffie said.
"And there is darkness within every heart." Leon said.
"Hey, have you heard of someone named Ansem?" Yuffie asked, looking at Sora.
"Ansem?" Goofy asked.
"He was studying the Heartless. He recorded all of his findings in a very detailed report." Aerith said as Donald started crossing his arms across his chest.
"Gawrsh, uh, can we see it?" Goofy asked.
"Its pages are scattered everywhere." Aerith said.
"Scattered?" Donald asked.
"To many worlds." Aerith said.
"Oh, then maybe the king went to find 'em." Goofy said and Donald nodded.
"Yes, those were my thoughts exactly." Aerith said.
"We've gotta find him quick!" Goofy said.
"Wait!" Donald said then looked at the screen and brought it down to his level then looked back at Goofy. "First, we need those keys!" He said.
"That's right. The Keyblades." Aerith said.
"So...this is the key?" Sora half-asked, looking at the Keyblade.
"And Mal and I are gonna each have one of our own?" Ben asked.
"Exactly!" Yuffie said, nodding at both Sora and Ben.
"The Heartless have great fear of the Keyblades. That's why they'll keep coming after you three at the moment no matter what." Leon said, walking away from Sora and Yuffie.
"Well, I didn't ask for this." Sora said.
"And we aren't gonna ask for ones of our own." Mal said.
"The Keyblade choose its master. And it chose you. And it'll choose you both too." Yuffie said, looking at Sora then at Mal.
"So tough luck." Leon said, leaning against a door then closed his eyes.
"How did all of this happen? I remember being in my room..." Sora trailed off then gasped as he got up from the bed as he realized something. "Wait a minute! What happened to my home? My island? Riku! Kairi!" Sora said.
"You know what? I really don't know." Leon said, keeping his eyes closed while looked down.
Sora then remembered back to what Ben said about loosing his world and looked at Ben and Mal. "D-Did I loose my home like you two did?" He asked.
Ben sighed softly and gently touched Mal's hand shortly after he felt her hand on his shoulder. "Yes." He said sadly.
Sora looked sad but nodded softly. He opened a chest then went to Leon with Ben and Mal. "Sooner or later. the Heartless will find you three. You'd best prepare yourselves." Leon said.
"Prepare ourselves?" Sora asked.
"To fight for your lives. Are you ready?" Leon asked.
Sora looked at Ben and Mal as Ben and Mal looked at Sora. He saw that they each gave him one determined nod and that was when Sora knew that they were ready. He looked back at Leon. "We're ready!" He said.
Leon got away from the door he was leaning on and looked at Yuffie. "Yuffie, let's join Aerith. She should be there by now with the other visitors." Leon said.
"Leon!" Yuffie said, pointing at a spot. In the spot that Yuffie pointed at, a Heartless with armor appeared.
"Yuffie, go!" Leon told her. Yuffie ran past Leon and into the other room, she slammed open the door on Donald, causing him to yelp and get squished by the door.
"Yuffie?" Aerith asked and ran after her.
"Sora, Ben, Mal, let's go!" Leon said. He hit the Heartless out the window and jumped out of it shortly after. Sora, Ben and Mal ran out to the balcony and jumped down from the balcony
The door from the other room closed and it showed Donald against the wall.
Mal's pov:
"Don't bother with the small fry. Find the leader! Let's go!" Leon said then ran off.
"Wait! Where do we find the leader!?" I asked.
"Check the Third District!" Leon said then was out of our sight.
"Okay, let's go then." Ben said. We ran out of the alleyway and followed the signs that led us to the Third District. We found a sign above the door that read Third District and we ran to it. We pushed the doors open and went through the open doors. We got to the third district and ran.
Sora, Ben and I ran down a ramp. I faintly heard two voices but I didn't stop to see where they were coming from. We heard two screams and looked up from behind us. We screamed a bit then tried to jump out of the way, only to be tackled to the ground by two bodies. The five of us groaned. "Is this gonna be a habit? Having someone fall on top of me?" I asked, annoyed.
"I guess so." Sora said.
"Sorry." Ben said.
"The key!" Two voices said. All of a sudden, we felt the ground shake and looked around in front of us. We saw pillars appeared, blocking some areas. Each two of the pillars contained one Heartless in armor.
We got up and got ready to fight when we noticed a very bright light. "Where's that coming from!?" I asked, shielding my eyes.
"I don't know!" Sora said, shielding his eyes too.
"It's coming from the boy in the light blue shirt!" A voice said. I slightly looked over to see how it belonged to and saw a white duck wearing a blue hat and a blue shirt with no pants. The duck was holding a staff of some kind. I looked over at Ben and saw that the duck was right. It was coming from him.
"What's going on, Ben?" I asked him.
"I don't know!" Ben said. The very bright light eventually faded.
Sora, the duck and I looked over at Ben. "Whoa!" The three of us said, looking at what Ben was holding.
Ben looked at us, confused. "What? Do I have something on my face?" He asked.
"Look at your hand." The duck told him.
Ben looked at his hand and his eyes widened at what he saw. He had a Keyblade just like Sora but Ben's was different from Sora's. The handle of Ben's Keyblade was two shades of yellow and it was somewhat circular. It had a rose charm at the end of the chain connecting to the handle. The blade part had two leaves with a long light green stem leading to a slightly big rose at the end. The color of the blade under the long light green stem was purple. "Looks like the Heartless are gonna be tracking you too." Sora said.
"Uh, we have bigger problems right now." Another voice said. I looked over and saw a dog on two feet. The dog was wearing a green shirt with a dark gray vest that had light gray outlines on it, yellow pants with a black belt around the loops, brown shoes with hints of gray on them, a yellow hat and white gloves. He was carrying a shield that had the shape of a mouse's head on the center of it. He was pointing at something. I looked over and saw the armored Heartless on the ground in front of us.
"Oh, right!" I said. The five of us got ready to fight. Sora and Ben fought against the Heartless with their Keyblades, the duck was shooting magic out of the staff, the dog was using his shield to fight and I was shooting out spells from my fingers since I had my spell book(A/N: that's what Mal's been using to fight for a while in this chapter.) opened. After the armored Heartless were defeated, we looked around for a bit. "Leon said to find the leader. I don't see him." I said, closing my spell book. As if on cue, four big pieces of armor fell from the sky and started assembling itself then the helmet fell onto the armor and hovered up from the chest plate part of the armor. "Never mind." I said. I was about to open it again when the very bright light from a little while ago reappeared. I shielded my eyes again. "Again, Ben!?" I asked, a bit annoyed.
"It's not coming from me this time! It's coming from you!" Ben said, shielding his eyes this time.
"What?" I asked then felt something in my other hand. I looked down and my eyes widened as soon as the light faded again. "What the?" I asked.
"You too, Mal?" Sora and Ben asked at the same time.
"I-I guess so." I said, still looking at the Keyblade in my hand. Mine had three different colors. One side was blue, the middle was red and the other side was green. The charm at the end of the chain connecting to the handle had the same three colors as the handle and blade itself but the charm was shaped as three tiny hats; one red, one blue and one green. The three stars on the end of the blade were also red, blue and green. I started to smile and I looked at Ben. "We got our very own!" I said.
"I know!" Ben said, smiling.
"Now's not the time to celebrate, guys." Sora said. We knew what he meant and got ready to fight after I put my spell book away. We attacked the feet first then the hands and lastly the body. Once it was defeated, it shook, fell and disappeared shortly after a big heart-shaped heart flew up to the air. The five of us each took a deep breath then Sora, Ben and I looked at the duck and the dog. "So, you were looking for us?" He asked the duck and the dog./p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"The duck and the dog nodded. "They, too, have been seeking the wielder of the Keyblade and they have also been seeking the three that fight alongside the Keyblade." A voice said. We slightly turned around and saw that the voice belonged to Leon and he was standing next to Yuffie.
"Hey, why don't you three come with us? We can go to other worlds on our vessel." The dog said.
Sora looked down. "I wonder if I can find Riku and Kairi..." He said softly.
"And I wonder if we can find Evie..." I said softly as I thought about Evie.
"Sora... Mal..." Ben said softly.
"Of course." The duck said. The three of us quickly looked at the duck. We watched as the dog and the duck were whispering about something.
"Sora, Ben, Mal, go with them. Especially if you want to find your friends." Leon said.
"Yeah, I guess." Sora and I said at the same time as we both looked back down.
"But you both can't come along looking like that. Understand? No frowning. No sad faces. Okay?" The duck asked./
"Yeah, ya gotta look funny, like us!" The dog said.
"This boat runs on happy faces." The duck said.
"Happy?" Sora and I asked.
"At least try, Mal. Please. For me?" Ben asked. Everything went quiet for a minute or two then Sora and I took a small deep breath and we both each put on our best funny face at the same time then frowned a bit with a raised eyebrow as we looked at the duck, the dog and Ben. The three of them laughed.
"That's one funny face!" The dog said.
Sora and I both looked at each other and chuckled then we stood up straight. "Okay, why not?" I asked, smiling.
"We'll go with you guys." Sora said, smiling.
"Donald Duck." The duck named Donald said, putting his hand forward.
"Name's Goofy." The dog named Goofy said, putting his hand on Donald's.
"I'm Ben." Ben said, putting his hand on Goofy's.
"Mal." I said, putting my hand on Ben's.
"And I'm Sora." Sora said.
"All for one and one for all." Goofy said as Sora put his hand on mine.
Normal mode:
Meanwhile in another world, mini versions of Sora, Donald, Goofy, Ben and Mal were show at a lair in the world. "Those little squirts took down that Heartless! Who'd have thought it?" A voice asked.
"Such is the power of the Keyblades. The children's strength are not their own." Another voice said.
"Why don't we turn each of them into a Heartless?" A third voice asked then laughed a bit. "That'll settle things quick enough." The third voice said.
"And the three brats' friends are the king's lackeys. Swoggle me eyes, they're all bilge rats by the look of them." A fourth voice said.
"You're no prize yourself." A fifth voice said then laughed.
"Shut up!" The fourth voice snarled.
"Enough. The Keyblades have chosen them and will choose two more in the near future. Will it be they who conquer the darkness? Or will the darkness swallow each one of them? Either way, they could be quite useful... Besides, we have some help of our own and we'll have some more help later on." A sixth voice said, revealing to be a woman with slightly gray skin. She was wearing a purple robe and had a very long staff.
Mal's pov:
"Make sure you're all prepared for the journey ahead of you three. We don't know how far the Heartless have spread." Leon said.
"Check out the shops here. They've got some pretty neat stuff!" Yuffie said.
"This is from all of us." A woman said. emI think her name was Aerith. I believe I heard her name from Leon./em I thought as she handed each of a pouch. We looked in our pouches. "It's five hundred munny for each of you. Spend it as you see fit." The woman named Aerith said. "And this is from Leon." She said as I noticed Leon look away with his eyes closed. We each were given a bottle of Elixir.
"Good luck!" Yuffie said as I noticed Leon look back at us.
"I hope you three find your friends." Aerith said.
"Look out for each other. Keep your spirits up." Leon said.
"We will. I have a request though. I have some friends here in this town that said that they were helped by a man two days ago when they came here. Can you look after them while we're not here?" I asked Leon.
"I will. I have helped them actually." Leon said, giving me a small smile.
I gave him a small smile back. "Thanks." I said. We watched them leave then we turned to Donald and Goofy.
"The gummi ship is outside that gate." Donald said and looked over at the doors behind him and Goofy.
"The what?" Sora asked.
"That's our ship." Donald said.
"Wait 'til you three see it!" Goofy said.
"Hold on. Sora, Ben, Mal, this is for each of you. Now you can use magic, too." Donald said then he looked at Goofy. "Goofy, give them the other thing." He said.
Goofy looked at Donald, confused. "What?" He asked.
"You know!" Donald said.
"Oh, yeah." Goofy said and gave each of us some sort of something.
"What did you give us?" Ben asked.
"An ability. Abilities allow you to do all sorts of things. Sora has Dodge Roll, Ben, you have Sliding Dash and Mal has Scan. Guess we'll figure out more along the way." Goofy said. I heard a tiny voice shortly after but I shrugged it off because I was mainly listening to Donald and Goofy.
"Sora, Ben, Mal!" The five of us headed to the doors and opened them when I heard a voice calling for me, Sora and Ben. Sora, Ben and I turned around to see that the voice belonged to Carlos and Jane running towards us.
"What? Is something wrong?" I asked as Carlos and Jane got to us.
"No, nothing's wrong. We just wanted to see you three off. A man named Leon came to our 'meeting house' and told us you three were leaving for your journey." Jane said and hugged Ben.
Ben smiled as he hugged Jane back at the same time Carlos and I hugged each other. "Bring Jay and Evie back with you." Carlos said.
I only hugged him tighter. "I promise." I said and let go.
Carlos turned to Sora. "I know we just met you but take care of Ben, Jay and Mal for us." He said.
"I will. Promise." Sora said, smiling. The three of us said our goodbyes to Carlos and Jane and followed Donald and Goofy.
"Whoa." Ben, Sora and I said at the same time as we saw a ship as the gate doors closed behind us.
Zander's pov:
"So, you helped Ben pick me to go to Auradon Prep?" Jianjun asked Daniela. We were listening to the Auradon kids tell us who helped Ben with the decisions. Cassia had left to go shopping which was a good thing because she wasn't here to rile Julie up more
"Yes." Daniela said, smiling.
"Who helped Ben pick me?" Ava asked.
"You would need to ask Ben when he comes back because I don't remember." Jane said.
"How about me? Who helped Ben pick me?" I asked.
"I did actually." Isabella said.
I looked over at her and smiled. "Really?" I asked.
She blushed too. "Yeah." She said.
I forgot that Calliope was in the room until I felt a hand in mine. I looked over at my hand then looked up and saw that Calliope was holding my hand. I smiled at her as I held her hand.
