CHAPTER 3
Dream Eaters
Delfino Plaza: Lighthouse
Caleb has arrived into the lighthouse of Delfino Plaza. Now he wears a dark green shirt with an Alpha symbol in the middle, blue outer shirt with a hood with short sleeves, blue jeans, white fingerless gloves and blue shoes.
"So, this is Delfino Plaza? The last time I visited Gelato Beach and now I appeared here with new clothes. Must be more of Millennium's Star magic." Caleb said and starts to search. "Guys! Anyone is here? Davis? Tai?"
"We're here." Kari's voice said who appears behind of Caleb. She was with TK and the girl Sora.
Kari is wearing a yellow shirt with a hood included and the light's crest symbol on it, she has a pink scarf in her neck, magenta shorts, orange shoes and pink fingerless gloves.
TK is wearing a green shirt with short sleeves with a hood included and the hope's crest on it, he has a new green cap, beige shorts, aquamarine shoes and dark green fingerless gloves. He has his blue backpack too.
Sora in wearing a yellow shirt with a hood included and the love's symbol on it, she has her blue hat, blue jeans, red and gray shoes, pink belt and red fingerless gloves.
"Kari, TK. And Sora, surely Ash will say that you're so pretty." Caleb said.
"Thanks." Sora said blushing.
'I really miss Aria.' Caleb thought sadly.
"We are in Delfino Isle, again?" TK asked.
"Yes. So, it seems." Kari said.
"Familiar place, new clothes and where can be the others?" Caleb asked.
"It's a luck find you four." The voice of Sonic Prime said who appears in a roof.
"Prime." Kari said as Prime gets down of the roof.
"What is that place?" Prime asked.
"Delfino Plaza, a part of Delfino Island." Caleb said.
"We must rejoin with everyone." TK said.
"But we must stay alert." Prime said.
"I'm right with him." Caleb said.
They nodded and go for search everyone.
Boathouse
By this zone, Izzy, Mimi and Joe are there.
Izzy is wearing an orange shirt with short sleeves, a hood included and the knowledge's crest symbol in the shirt, olive shorts, red shoes, yellow fingerless gloves and the computer in his back on a backpack.
Mimi is wearing a red drees with a hood and the sincerity's crest symbol, beige shoes, brown fingerless gloves and she has her pink hat too.
Joe is wearing a shirt with beige and gray with a hood included and the reliability's symbol crest on in, beige shorts, orange shoes, gray fingerless gloves and he still having his lens.
"This is getting weirder." Joe said.
"Unless my clothes are pretty." Mimi said.
"That must be the magic of the Millennium Star." Izzy said.
"This is our first time in other world without our Digimon." Joe said.
"But we still having our own Keyblades." Izzy said.
"That's right. Now we must rejoin with the others." Mimi said.
They nodded and go to search everyone.
Pianta Statue
In a roof near of the Pianta statue, the boy Sora appears there.
"Huh? This is… Delfino Plaza." He said and then looked down. Now he is wearing a black shirt with an X in the middle, black outer shirt with a red hood and red end short sleeves, black fingerless gloves, red shorts, yellow shoes, and the silver crown necklace. "Hey, what's with my clothes?"
"Hey Sora!" A voice called him.
"Huh? Tai! Matt!" Sora said and recognizes them.
Tai is wearing a blue T-shirt with a hood included and the courage's crest symbol, brown shorts, white shoes, white fingerless gloves and he still has his headband and googles.
Matt is wearing a dark green short with a hood and the friendship's crest symbol, blue jeans, brown, shoes and brown fingerless gloves.
"Hey Sora. Have you seen Kari?" Tai asked and Sora shook his head.
"Have you seen TK by this place?" Matt asked.
"No. Someone of you have seen Riku?" Sora asked them.
"Sorry, but no." Matt said.
"We'll try to search them. Riku!" Sora said and called him.
"Kari!" Tai called her.
"TK!" Matt called him.
"Shut it." A voice said.
"Huh?" Sora said.
"Talk about noise." A boy with orange hair with headphones appeared floating in front of them. They were surprised and felled to ground dogpiled.
"Tai!" Kari's voice called him.
"TK!" TK's voice called him.
"Kari… TK…" Sora said and noticed Sor, TK, Kari, Caleb and Sonic Prime coming at the dogpiled trio.
"What happened to you three?" Sor asked them.
"Please don't ask." Tai said groaning in pain.
"Tai!" Izzy called him and he was coming with Mimi and Joe.
"Just in time." Mimi said. Finally, Tai, Matt and Sora managed to get up.
"Wait… Sonic?" Sora said in surprise.
"You must be Sora too. Call me Sonic Prime." Sonic Prime said.
"You seems serious than the other Sonic that I meet." Sora said.
"Sora and Sora, right?" The boy with headphones asked. "The girl Sora is your girlfriend?"
"What!?" Sora and Sor exclaimed blushing.
"He is not my boyfriend!" Sor exclaimed.
"Sorry, my bad." The boy with headphones said.
"Call me Sor, please." Sor said.
"It seems the right time for introductions. I'm Caleb." Caleb introduced.
"I'm Tai." Tai introduced.
"I'm his sister, Kari." Kari introduced.
"I'm Matt and he is my brother, TK." Matt introduced.
"Hi there." TK greeted.
"My name is Mimi." Mimi introduced.
"I'm Izzy." Izzy introduced.
"I'm Joe." Joe introduced.
"And my name is Sonic Prime. And you?" Sonic Prime said.
"Neku Sakuraba. You asked." The boy called Neku introduced.
"Neku Sakuraba." Kari repeated and Sora chuckled.
"That's a mouthful." Sora said.
"No, it's really not." Neku said. "Looks like that you're not players."
"A player?" TK said in confusion.
"C'mon, keep up. In the game." Neku said and showed the palm of his hand, showing a timer. "Players get marked with a time limit. And this Game, I can't afford to lose. I need to find my Game partner."
"Okay…" Tai said putting his hands over his head. "We don't know about any 'Game', but can we help?"
"Is he talking about the Battle Network?" Kari asked at Izzy.
"I don't think so." Izzy said.
"What? Time out. Do you trust every total stranger you meet? Look… Sorry, you're no good. You're not Players. And my pact is with someone else." Neku said.
"Okay, so we can't be partners." Sora said.
"Why don't we just help you out as your friend?" Caleb asked.
"Now we're friends? It's not that easy." Neku said.
"Not saying it is, but… you could make it easier." Matt said.
"Yeah, sounds great… Whatever." Neku said and walked away.
"What do you say, guys?" Sora asked them.
"Let's follow Neku." Izzy said and they nodded.
"Ok, lead the way." Kari requested, then watching Neku doing fancy Flow-motion as he was running off.
"Whoa… Cool." TK said.
Then Caleb tried to do the same thing, but he accidentally crashed in a palm tree.
"I hoped it was easy…" Caleb muttered.
"Just watch and learn." Sonic Prime said and did the Flow-motion at the first try surprising everyone.
"Whoa!" Everyone said in amazement.
"Let's follow them." Joe said.
They nodded and go to the next zone.
Market
Everyone make their way by the market of Delfino Plaza until mysterious beings appeared, some like cats and bats.
"Dream Eaters!" Sora said summoning his Keyblade.
"You know them?" Kari asked.
"Yeah! MS told it about them before to realize the Mark of Mastery in the 'Sleeping Worlds'." Sora explained.
"So, those are Dream Eaters. Let's beat them!" Caleb said and everyone summoned their respective Keyblade.
Everyone did their known fight skills as Caleb jumps spinning horizontally his Keyblades defeating the Dream Eaters known as Meow Wow and Komory Bats.
"They were Dream Eaters, right?" Izzy asked.
"Yeah." Sora said and flashbacks about the Dream Eaters.
Millennium's Star Loft
"If we are ever to strike down Xehanort, we need the individuals Mario spoke of in his letter." MS said. "We must lead them out of sorrow and slumber, and back to our world. To do so, seven Sleeping Keyholes must be found and unlocked, and a great power retrieved. As you know, every world is walled off from the next, preventing travel between them. In the past, you could bridge these gaps because the walls were broken, or because you could open special Lanes with your Keyblades. But your new goals, the 'Sleeping Keyholes', are harder to reach."
The Peashooter yawns as MS continues.
"You'll recall, in your first journey, that you brought many worlds back from the darkness... But some never returned completely. They still sleep, cut off from all outside channels. Not even the Heartless can enter. But these sleeping worlds are said to have their own manner of darkness."
"This is weird." Cactus said.
A small Meow Wow appeared on his desk. "They are called Dream Eaters, and there are two kinds. Nightmares which devour happy dreams and benevolent Spirits which consume the Nightmares." A Spirit Meow Wow appeared next to its Nightmare counterpart. "The Dream Eaters will guide you, just as the Heartless once guided you, to the Keyhole you seek at the heart of each world."
The flashback ends.
Market
"Sora, let's keep going." Sor said.
They nodded and continued.
Shine Gate
The team managed to arrive in this zone.
"Look!" Sonic Prime said who is in a roof pointing at a girl with blonde hair, wearing an orange sweater with a skull heart with crossbones, white shorts, and a black hat.
"Let's go." Sora said and they go.
"Is that Neku?" TK asked.
"No, I've never seen this person before." Caleb said.
"Hey, you're the partner of Neku?" Tai asked at the girl.
"Umm, I'm not really sure. All I know is that my name is Rhyme." The girl named Rhyme introduced.
"Did you… Lose your memory?" Sonic Prime asked.
"Yep." Rhyme answered.
"Sorry…" Sor said.
"Oh, it's no big deal. You know what they always say; 'Sometimes memories just need a little help getting out'." Rhyme said.
"I suppose that makes sense." Matt said.
"A little help, huh? Maybe Neku can help recover your memory." Izzy said.
"Let's go find." Mimi said.
"Ok." Rhyme nodded.
Then they keep going at the next area.
Rental House
The group arrived in zone where there is a house with some boxes inside and they found Neku.
"There's Neku." Kari said and they gathered with Neku.
"Kari… What? You actually still trust me?" Neku asked.
"Of course, we do." Kari said.
"But you know that I tricked you all, right? That guy in the black coat, he said he could send me home… me and my partner, but I had to bring you all to him first. Sorry." Neku said.
"No big deal." Mimi said.
"When it really mattered, you stood up for us." Tai said.
"And besides… We're friends, right?" TK said.
"Friends…" Neku said.
"That person in the black coat? Who was he really?" Caleb asked.
"Black coat?" Izzy asked.
"It can't be…" Joe was saying.
"Hey, Neku. This here is Rhyme. Is she your game partner?" Sora said.
'This isn't a game completely.' Sonic Prime thought seriously.
"No. I'm teamed up with someone else." Neku said and just then Rhyme disappears.
"Rhyme!" Sor said and just then someone appears in front of them and it's a black cloaked hooded figure. "Oh, no…!"
"You!" Neku yelled.
"You won't get away with it!" Caleb yelled as they charges at the black cloaked figure who effortlessly swats them away.
"Neku!" Sora said.
"Caleb!" TK said.
The hooded black cloaked figure raises his hands and unleashes a giant Dream Eater that looks like a monkey with a box body and confronts the two.
"A Dream Eater…" Kari said and the black cloaked figure disappears in a dark corridor.
"Wait!" Sonic Prime said but the monkey Dream Eater blocks the way.
"Out of the way!" Tai yelled.
*UNTAMABLE (DREAM DROP DISTANCE)*
The Dream Eater known as Hockomonkey jumps to confront them and delivers two swats with its fists but they dodged and Tai triple slashes with his Keyblade followed by casting Thunder while Sora uses Spark Dive and then casts Spark and unleashes a ring of rainbows dealing damage but Hockomonkey swats at the two again but Matt triple diagonal slashes with his Keyblade followed by Fire Edge and then casts Blizzard while Sor aerial slashes with her Keyblade followed by casting Aero and then uses Strike Raid but Hockomonkey jumps away and then tries to jump on them but they dodge and Izzy jumps from a building and delivers a drilling strike followed by a slamming strike while Mimi jumps from the giant building and then delivers a slamming strike stunning the giant Dream Eater who roars with rage and then hides itself in its box body and goes for the two but Prime realizes Wind Arrow while Caleb, TK and Kari vertical slashes with his Keyblade followed by a double swinging slash but Hockomonkey unleashes boxing gloves and stretches its arms and moves at Kari and TK but Caleb pushes the siblings away and then gets caught and Hockomonkey delivers punches at Caleb and throws him.
TK and Kari uses magic to catch Caleb and then he casts Fire followed by casting Earth but Hockomonkey delivers stretching punches at them but they dodge and Joe delivers a sliding dash strike while Mimi triple slashes with her Keyblade followed by a graceful spinning slash but Hockomonkey jumps all over and then delivers two swats but they block the swats and Sora delivers a counter strike with Kingdom Key while Kari delivers a magical blast but Hockomonkey rampages and makes the roof drop down into the building but TK and Kari slash with their Keyblades stunning it allowing Sora to vertical slash with Kingdom Key followed by Spark Dive while Caleb uses Cartwheel Fire but Hockomonkey hides in its box body and tries to go for them but Kari casts Earth to send it flying by the rocks allowing Sora to uses Strike Raid to get the giant Dream Eater but Hockomonkey uses its boxing gloves to deliver stretching punches but they dodge and Caleb casts Water and then horizontal slashes with both Keyblades while Sonic Prime realizes a bicycle kick followed by Spark Dive from every member and the they finish off Hockomonkey ending the fight.
*ENDS*
Hockomonkey flies into the air and explodes and is now destroyed as particles rain down and the group see ethereal figures which are Davis, Yolei, Cody and Riku.
"Davis!" Tai said.
"Yolei!" Mimi said.
"Cody!" TK said.
"Riku!" Sora said.
"Hold on, you two." A voice said and just then someone appears and it's a boy with blond hair, wearing a white shirt and black jeans.
"Um, who are…?" Kari was cut off.
"Joshua." Neku said coming.
"Hello, Neku. How long the days without you have felt." Joshua said and Rhyme appears.
"Rhyme! You're okay." Sora said.
"Neku, do you know this person?" Sor asked.
"Yeah. Joshua. He's my… Friend." Neku said.
"Were you the one, who took Rhyme away?" Izzy asked.
"And, why do you know about us?" Matt asked.
"If you all like to settle down for a sec, I'll field your questions one at a time. Let's start with Rhyme. I'm hanging onto her dreams for her. They're my portal." Joshua said.
"Portal…? So, her dreams are a gateway between worlds." Caleb said.
"Precisely. Now, the next question. How could I possibly know about you eleven, right? This plaza has a little secret. It only appears when someone out there has need of shelter. I'll spare you the details, but right now, it's made up of my dreams. Of, course I know you eleven. I dreamed you up. I know Riku too and the other children called Davis, Yolei and Cody." Joshua said.
"Really?" Sora asked.
"Yeah. I'm kind of omniscient." Joshua said.
"Where are they?" TK asked.
"They're right inside this projection, in another imagining of this world." Joshua said.
"So, like another Delfino Plaza?" Sora asked.
"It's not possible to get to the other with your portal, is it?" Tai asked.
"Sad to say, no. It won't work for you guys. My portal only opens for the one with Rhyme's dreams. In this projection, you're seeing another chain of events. In another world trapped by the Dream Eaters. As for how the world got split in two… I have a feeling you'll need to ask this guy." Joshua said as the same hooded black cloaked figure appears and takes off his hood showing a male with silver hair and yellow eyes.
"You again!?" Caleb snarled.
"You know him?" Sonic Prime asked.
"Yeah, I fought with that freak before." Caleb answered.
"He almost looks like Xemnas…" Izzy said.
Just then they see two more projections.
"Beat…" Rhyme said.
"Shiki…" Neku said.
"Davis…" Tai said.
"Yolei…" Mimi said.
"Cody…" TK said.
"Riku…" Sora said.
Boathouse
In the alter Delfino Plaza, Davis, Yolei and Cody appeared there. They are wearing new clothes (from Digimon 02 when they enter in the Digital World).
"Whoa! This place comes with a new wardrobe!" Davis said noticing his new clothes.
"So, this is another world." Cody said as he looked down and noticed his new clothes. "Hey wait… I'm wearing new clothes. Their pretty comfortable."
"Wow, I look like I'm part the cool crowd." Yolei said as she looked down and noticed her new clothes.
"Those clothes are cool." Davis said.
"I love this helmet; it makes me my glasses look smaller." Yolei said. Then Cody notices Riku laying in the ground, who is wearing now a white and yellow sleeveless shirt with black side linings, cyan pants, white shoes, black bands on both wrists, and a symbol at the back of the shirt that looks like a Dream Eater symbol, fighting against the Dream Eaters.
"Look, he seems need help!" Cody said.
"Let's help him!" Davis said summoning his Keyblade.
"Yeah!" Yolei and Cody nodded doing the same and they go to help Riku.
Pianta Statue
Riku was surrounded by Komory Dream Eaters.
"Thunder!" Cody casts Thunder and destroys some Dream Eaters.
"Are you okay?" Yolei asked at Riku.
"Yeah, but how you three arrived here and where you got those Keyblades?" Riku asked trying to get up.
"It's a long story but we're here to help you." Davis said.
*HAND IN HAND (DREAM DROP DISTANCE)*
Davis realizes some several slashes in the Komory Bats Dream Eaters, Yolei was casting the Blizzard spell on the enemies and Cody surprisingly, he was defeating every Dream Eater, thanks to the kendo lessons from his grandfather. Then new Dream Eaters called 'Kooma Panda' appeared, but Davis realized the flow-motion on one them and launched where Yolei and Cody were waiting to be finished with a big slash, they kept going until finish them all.
*ENDS*
After the fight, Riku manages to get up but he nearly lose the balance.
"Try to rest a little, you're still hurt." Cody said.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Riku said and casts Curaga. "How did you three get here?"
"We just got there. Then, we found you sleeping here. Kinda an odd place to take a nap." Davis said.
"Wait! I went asleep randomly." Riku said.
"How?" Yolei asked.
"I remember meeting this boy named Joshua, and he wanted me to help him find Rhyme, but then we ran into someone named Beat, who said he met someone in the black coat." Riku explained.
"Someone in the black coat?! Well… Sorry! How rude of me, I'm Davis." Davis said.
"My name is Yolei." Yolei introduced.
"And I'm Cody." Cody introduced.
"My name is Riku. How you three got Keyblades?" Riku said.
"We were attacked by Corrupt Digimon and those Keyblades appeared." Cody said.
"Also, we met Tai, Sora and the others." Davis said.
"Wait… You meet Sora, too?" Riku asked.
"Yeah, but the first Sora that we met is a girl. And the second is a boy." Yolei said.
"Anyway, it looks like they're gone since I was sleeping." Riku said.
"Well, why don't we find them?" Cody suggested.
"Good idea." Riku said.
"Hey! Do you mind?!" A voice asked and they see someone running from Dream Eaters.
"What's that?" Yolei asked.
"Someone's in trouble! We gotta help!" Riku said
"Let's go!" Davis said and the others nodded, and they start moving.
Market
The group was coming to help the victim of the Dream Eaters. Until they find what looks like a girl with long orange hair, wearing a green sleeveless vest with a black top, green shorts, black and white hat, brown boots, and is carrying a black stuffed cat surrounded by Meow Wow Dream Eaters and so they confront the Dream Eaters and Davis, Yolei and Cody takes out their Keyblades while Riku takes out Way to Dawn.
"We'll deal with them!" Davis said.
"Stay back!" Riku said and the girl leaves.
The Digi Trio used common slashes to hit the Meow Wow Dream Eaters while Riku triple slashes with Way to Dawn followed by casting the Sleep Spell to make the Dream Eaters, then Davis casted Fire, Yolei casts Blizzard and Cody casts Thunder and those attacks finished them all. But Dream Eaters like goats appeared, called 'Yoggy Ram', they barely avoid the enemy headbutts, then Riku vertical slash them, followed by the attacks from the Digi Trio, then Davis jumps from a building wall and delivers a slamming strike and finished the enemies.
After the fight the girl comes to the four.
"Seriously, thanks. I'm Shiki. How 'bout you?" The girl named Shiki asked.
"Riku." Riku introduced.
"Davis." Davis introduced.
"Yolei." Yolei introduced.
"Cody." Cody introduced.
"Thanks." Shiki said.
"Sure." Riku said.
"Take care." Davis said and they start moving.
"Hey, wait! That's it? You four chat-up a girl and say 'Sure' and 'Take care' and walk off?" Shiki asked.
"I'm bad at this. Sorry." Riku said.
"I don't really… Talk to girls that much. Anyway, it's not safe out here. You should go home." Davis said.
"If it's dangerous, how can you two just leave me here? Aren't you three my knights in shining armor? Well?" Shiki asked referring at Riku, Davis and Cody.
"Kn-Knight?!" Cody asked shocked.
"That must be a joke!" Davis said in shock.
"You got that wrong idea!" Riku said.
"Oh my gosh. I was so just kidding. You three get out much?" Shiki asked and they look at each other with no answer. "You guys remind me of a guy I know. Well, glad we met." Shiki said.
"Yeah, great." Riku said.
Riku, Davis, Yolei and Cody make their way through the market and they go at the next area.
Shine Gate
The team goes by this area too as they defeated the Dream Eaters.
Rental House
The team arrived at the house with boxes inside.
"Over there!" Shiki said running off.
"Hey! Wait!" Yolei called.
"We should stick together!" Riku said and a scream is heard.
"Perfect…" Davis said.
"You can't expect us to…" Riku stops talking as they see a hooded figure wearing a black cloak.
"Black coat!" Cody said and they see Shiki's black stuffed cat on the ground.
"Shiki!" Riku said.
"No…" Yolei said and the black cloaked figure kicks the stuffed cat away.
"How did you two get here?" The black coat figure asked.
"Who the hell are you?" Davis asked and the stuffed cat hits him.
"By choice or chance? You four cannot control what you're not aware of. This wakeless sleep will your prison… To wander forever." The black cloaked figure said.
"Shut up!" Davis yelled.
"What do you mean?" Riku asked.
"Riku! Don'chu listen to that punk!" A voice called and they see a boy with blond hair, wearing a white sleeveless shirt, yellow pants, red shoes, and a black hat and Shiki is with him.
"Beat." Riku said.
"So, that's Beat." Yolei said.
"Shiki's gonna be fine. She told me whassup! Hoodie here set this whole thing up, yo! He promised to send Shiki back to our world and you was the cost of travel. Yo, this is seriously one half-baked excuse for a mission. Betchu ain't even a Reaper." Beat said and the cloaked figure reveals as the young version of Xehanort.
"What the…?" Davis asked.
"Okay, who are you?" Riku asked and the young man unleashes a giant Dream Eater that looks like a monkey with a box body that's floating, and it goes into the building.
"What is that thing!?" Yolei exclaimed.
"Dream Eater!" Riku said and they see the young man leaving through a dark corridor.
"Wait!" Riku called but he's gone.
"I'm really sorry, Davis, Yolei, Cody Riku…" Shiki said but Davis throws the stuffed black cat at Shiki who catches it.
"It's alright." Davis said.
"Beat, watch her." Riku said.
"I gots this, yo!" Beat said and the two runs into the building.
*UNTAMABLE (DREAM DROP DISTANCE)*
The heroes run to face the alter version of Hockomonkey inside of the house.
"End of the line!" Davis yelled taking out his Keyblade. Yolei and Cody did the same.
"We have to hurry and defeat it." Riku said taking out Way to Dawn.
Hockomonkey levitates into the air and unleashes raining fireballs at the two who dodge out of the way and Davis casted the Fire Spell and hits the Hockomonkey while Riku grinds on a rail and delivers a homing strike but Hockomonkey unleashes more fireballs but Yolei casts the Protect Spell for protect everyone while Riku aerial slashes with Way to Dawn but Hockomonkey unleashes hands which grab boxes and use them to attack the four but they dodge and Riku diagonal slashes at the hands with Way to Dawn followed by the Thunder spell from Cody and Davis into the hands of Hockomonkey, then Yolei jumps and with a slash she destroyed the enemy arms but Hockomonkey retaliates with unleashing more fireballs to burn at the four but they luckily avoided the attack while Riku casts Fire followed by casting Thunder of Yolei, but Hockomonkey unleashes hands but Davis triple slashes with his Keyblade followed by casting Blizzard and then Riku uses Reality Shift to slingshot Hockomonkey away but Hockomonkey unleashes more hands to lift boxes to attack.
Riku slashes at the hands of the Dream Eater with Way to Dawn and all the hands are destroyed stunning Hockomonkey and Davis aerial slashes and followed by the Fire spell, then Riku diagonal slashes with Way to Dawn but Hockomonkey unleashes fireballs but Riku casts a dark barrier to block the fireballs while Cody deflects the fireballs and then casts Blizzard but Hockomonkey levitates and unleashes more fireballs but Riku vertical slashes with Way to Dawn while Davis jumps on a rail and delivers a homing strike stunning Hockomonkey allowing Riku to use Reality Shift and slingshots it but Hockomonkey retaliates with unleashing more hands at the four but Cody quickly destroys the hands with his Keyblade and realizes some kendo skills in the giant enemy but Hockomonkey unleashes more fireballs but Riku triple diagonal slashes with Way to Dawn followed by Spark Dive while Yolei vertical slashes with her Keyblade, then Hockomonkey retaliates unleashing more hands to strike but Riku triple slashes with Way to Dawn while Davis aerial slashes with his Keyblade followed by an upper slash and they finish off Hockomonkey ending the fight.
*ENDS*
Hockomonkey floats into the sky and then explodes turning into raining particles and Davis, Yolei, Cody, Riku, Shiki, and Beat see ethereal versions of the Eight Digidestined, Caleb, Sonic Prime, Sora, Neku, Rhyme, and Joshua.
"Hey, what is this?" Shiki asked.
"What are we… Seeing?" Yolei asked.
"Good question." Riku said.
"This is so messed up, man! She's right here in front of me and…I can't reach her!" Beat yelled seeing the ethereal Rhyme.
"IF your hearts are connected, you'll reach her." Riku said.
"Yeah!" Cody said.
"Rhyme…" Beat said.
"Neku…" Shiki said.
"Sora, Caleb…" Riku said.
"Tai, Matt, Prime…" Davis said.
"Sora, Mimi, Kari…" Yolei said.
"Izzy, Joe, TK…" Cody said.
Rental House (alter)
Just then the Eight Digidestined, Caleb, Sora, Prime, Davis, Yolei, Cody and Riku are talking to Joshua.
"In their world… Something happened that brought their existence to an end. To keep them from fading altogether, I gathered up the very last remnants of their dreams and looked for a place to give them refuge. It was then this world appeared to answer my call, and Rhyme's dreams allowed us to reach it. Here, I thought they might have a chance… That the pieces of their dreams could make them whole again. Imagine my surprise when I realize dreams take bodily form in this world. It struck me… By linking their dream pieces back together, maybe I could make them exist again. Maybe I could give them another chance." Joshua explained.
"It can't be that simple." Riku said.
"Well, why can't it?" Joshua said. "By ourselves, we're no one. It's like when other people look at us and see someone… That's the moment we each start to exist. All they need was for someone to see them, connect with them. And all of you were a big part of making it happen."
"We… Were?" Kari asked.
"Joshua, just… Who are you?" Sora, Riku and Prime asked.
"Let's say… A friend." Joshua said as angel wings appear and starts to fly into the sky.
Just then a Keyhole appears, and the Keyblade Wielders use their Keyblades to shoot out their beams of light and unlock the Keyhole and bright light occurs.
Flashback in Millennium's Star Loft
The Millennium Star was explaining.
"One dream is connected to another, which means we must choose in which Sleeping World you will begin. I will return you to the Destiny Islands just before were swallowed by the darkness and plunged into sleep. As the Digidestined will be returned at the Digital World before to face Devimon, Caleb will return into the Jinsei Chamber and Sonic Prime will face an old enemy known as the Flame of Disaster." MS told them.
"Who is Sonic Prime?" Chomper asked and the Cactus shrugged.
"Once dreams take you, you must let them guide you to the Sleeping Worlds. While there are eight pure lights, there are more than eight for 'Sleeping Keyholes'. Unlocking these will both grant you a new power, and free the worlds from their wake lessness. Complete this task and return here safely, and I will name you two and the others… True masters." MS ended of explain.
