CHAPTER 7
Return to Delfino Plaza
Rental House
The group appears again in Delfino Plaza.
"Huh? We're back in Delfino Plaza now?" Sora asked.
"Again, this is weird." Caleb said.
"Sadly, we're not here for vacations." Mimi said complaining.
"Who could have summoned us?" Izzy asked.
"Why hello down there, Tai, Matt, Sor, Izzy, Joe, Mimi, TK, Kari, Caleb, Prime and Sora. I've been waiting." A voice said and they turn to see Joshua sitting at the top of the building's roof.
"Oh, Joshua. You summoned us." TK said.
"You do know you can wait on the ground, right? Come down so we can talk." Matt said.
"Now?" Joshua asked.
"What do you mean 'now'?" Matt asked.
"You wouldn't happen to summon us back here without a reason." Tai said.
"Fair point." Joshua said as he descends down to meet the group. "You all are turning into Neku and Shiki every day. Listen. I'm glad you four showed up because…" Joshua was cut off.
"You 'fifteen'? Does that mean Riku, Davis, Yolei and Cody are here too?" Caleb asked.
"Yes, but you eleven and they are still a world apart." Joshua said.
"We know…" Kari said.
"They didn't seem worried because they know they'll find you." Joshua said.
"You're right…" Kari said blushing a little.
"Just look at Neku. He and the others all found their game partners." Joshua said.
"So, they're back home safe now?" Sora asked.
"Sora, that's not the case. You have to remember what Joshua told us. Their existence is on the line." Sor said.
"Right and the Reapers are dead set on erasing them for good. They've found refuge in this world and luckily each other too." Joshua said.
"Reapers?" Prime asked.
"Yes, and if Neku and the others want to get back to where they came from, they need to win the Reapers' Game. It's like a series of missions. Those are the rules of their home ground. Except this time, the mission is a tough one." Joshua said.
"How tough is it?" Joe asked.
"They're pitted against a Dream Eater that can summon a hundred more like it." Joshua said.
"That's where we, Riku, Davis, Yolei can Cody come in, right?" Izzy asked.
"Yes. I was hoping to you four could help us out. You guys have your Keyblades and with those, we might still have a chance." Joshua said.
"Well, I'm glad they're here with us. Right, Kari?" TK asked but he sees Kari's face turning red.
"If they are, Riku and the others are on one side of the Portal and you two are on the other. They might be by your side or they might be a million miles away. You can't measure the distance in time and space. Even without the wall between you, it's hard to say." Joshua said.
"But they can be with us." Kari said.
"Yeah, even if it seems like they're not." Sora said.
"Then, you four are lucky." Joshua said.
"You and your friend are lucky too, Joshua." Sora said.
"I appreciate you saying with the conviction, even though you have no idea what you're talking about." Joshua said.
"Hey!" Sora said.
"So, anyway, where's Neku and his partner now? And that Dream Eater?" Kari asked.
"Neku and his partner are pinned down by the Pianta statue. I can count on you all, right?" Joshua asked.
"Always!" Tai said.
"Leave it to us." Kari said.
Then the group make their way toward the area of the Pianta Statue going by an alleyway.
Boathouse
The team manages to jump the little canal with the flow-motion moves and they straight at the area of the Pianta Statue. The Dream Eaters appeared but they were easily defeated.
Pianta Statue
In the zone of the Pianta Statue, Neku and Shiki are handling against the Dream Eaters.
"This is starting to wear me down. Can we get a timeout?" Shiki asked.
Just then a giant Dream Eater that looks like a pelican wearing wizard robes, hat, riding on a broom stick, and carrying a book summons lightning knocking back Neku and Shiki and many Dream Eaters appear and as they attack someone blocks it and it's Sora and company.
"Miss me?" Sora asked.
"Sora? Kari?" Neku asked.
"Please, let us handle this." Kari said.
"No, I don't need your help." Neku said.
"'Course you do. Where're your Dream Eaters?" Caleb asked.
"I don't need them anymore." Neku said.
"That's right, you have your partner. Regardless, you want to make it out of the Game, right? What can you do if you two get hurt?" Izzy asked.
"Okay, you win. I'll let you two do the sweating." Neku said as he and Shiki leave.
*DELFINO PLAZA (SMASH ULTIMATE REMIX)*
The Tetsu Natsu Dream Eaters rain down fireballs at the two but they dodge and Caleb uses Water Surge followed by casting Curse causing the Dream Eaters to become slow, poisoned, and stunned while Sora uses Strike Raid and then uses Ars Arcanum but then Kabuto Cannon Dream Eaters appear and fire lasers at the two but Kari vertical slashes with her Keyblade followed by Gravity Strike sending them adrift in the air allowing TK to aerial slash with his Keyblade and then casts Thunder to bring them down but the Tetsu Natsu Dream Eaters shoot fireballs but Caleb uses Water Raid and then uses Mystical Surge while Sora uses Sonic Blade and they defeat all of the Dream Eaters.
"My turn!" Prime take borrowed Kari's Keyblade. "Soul Surge Thunderstorm!"
The Keyblade glows with golden light, he close his eyes ready for the sword and fired a powerful lightning that eliminated the remaining Dream Eaters. Everyone watched in wows.
*ENDS*
The group look up to see the big Dream Eater who disappears. The Keyblade returned at Kari.
"He got away." TK said.
"Oh, no…" Kari said.
"How you learned that sword skill?" Sora asked at Prime.
"I trained with the sword before my world was destroyed." Prime said.
Flashback in Mobius of Prime
Prime was training with his sword; he tries to do Soul Surge and Elemental, but he failed which end up the sword itself explode and knock him away. He tries to do that many times, many more, but end in failure.
"Dang it, it does not work like Caliburn!" Prime growled getting up slowly.
He pick up his sword and point it at a tree.
'Please sword, work with me.' Prime thought and yells. "Soul Surge Thunderstorm!"
The sword start to glow with golden light, he close his eyes ready for the sword explode itself. Surprisingly, the sword fire a powerful lightning at the tree creating a large explosion. Prime look at it with eyes widened in shock.
"Whoa!" Prime said in awe.
The flashback ends.
Pianta Statue
As Prime explained his training with the sword, Neku approached at them.
"Sora, Prime, Caleb, everyone." Neku said approaching them.
"Are you okay?" Sor asked.
"Yeah." Neku said.
"So, you're Neku's partner, right?" Sora asked.
"Yeah. I'm Shiki. Nice to meet you. Neku told me all about you." Shiki said.
"He has…?" Mimi asked.
"Cool. You should've seen him. He looked everywhere for you." Sora said.
"Sora, stop talking!" Neku shouted.
"Neku, you were worried about her and needed her. Isn't that nice?" Kari asked.
"That's sweet, Neku." Shiki said.
"I need you to stop annoying me." Neku said.
"Well, I think it's sweet. It's nice to be needed." Shiki said.
"I'm sorry, is this a bad time? That Dream Eater we're after has retreated to other imagining of this world." Joshua said.
"Other imagining?" Sora asked.
"He means that's where Riku and the others are." Kari said.
"Yes, they and our other friends will do what they can, but we'll just run ourselves in circles at this rate. We need to trap that thing in once place and then we can finish it." Joshua said.
"Trap it where?" Tai asked.
"The market." Joshua said.
"Okay!" Sora said.
"Let's go." Kari said as they start moving. But Neku stops.
"Joshua." Neku said.
"Yes, Neku?" Joshua asked.
"Tell me, are we really gonna make it home?" Neku asked.
"But, Neku, I thought you couldn't afford to lose. Give up on yourself and you give up on the world." Joshua said.
"Right, so I'll see you there? You're my friend and it's your home too." Neku said.
"Maybe it's you that is turning into Sora. Thanks." Joshua said.
Market
The group arrive at the market where they find the giant Dream Eater.
"Got you!" Caleb said taking out his Keyblades.
"We got it, Riku, Davis, Yolei, Cody!" Sora said taking out Kingdom Key.
"It's working. They came through for us." Joshua said as the Dream Eater summons more Dream Eaters sends them off.
"We'll handle things here. You two take care of the boss!" Neku said.
"Got it!" Sora said.
The Dream Eater summons a familiar Dream Eater which is Hockomonkey.
"That Dream Eater…" Kari said.
"We beat it once; we'll do it again!" Prime said pulling out his sword.
*BOSS BATTLE THEME (SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE)*
Hockomonkey delivers two punches at them but they dodge out of the way and Tai vertical slashes with her Keyblade followed by casting Blizzarga while Sora diagonal slashes with Kingdom Key followed by Aerial Slam but Hockomonkey delivers a shoulder charge and stands on its hands and delivers handstand kicks at them TK casts Triple Plasma and then casts Triple Firaga while Kari uses Pure Dive and strikes multiple times and then delivers the final dive strike and unleashes light pillars but Hockomonkey unleashes boxing gloves and delivers stretching punches but they block and Kari delivers a counter impact strike and then delivers graceful spin slashes with her Keyblade followed by Dancing Blade while Sora uses Sonic Blade but Hockomonkey jumps around and then delivers two punches at the them but Matt vertical slashes with his Keyblade and then uses Blitz and strikes three times while Caleb uses Dark Orb followed by Dark Windmill but Hockomonkey tries to trap them in its box but they get away and they use flow-motion and they deliver cross slashes with their Keyblades, Prime stabs the enemy with Kari's Keyblade borrowed and defeat Hockomonkey who disappears.
Spellican appears and unleashes another Dream Eater and it is like a giant Gargoyle.
"That Dream Eater is like a gargoyle." Izzy said.
"Let's beat it together!" Tai said.
The Dream Eater knows as Wargoyle slams its hands on the ground creating carpets of flames but they dodge but Wargoyle delivers two punches and then delivers a flaming tail whip but Caleb uses Water Edge and then uses Water Surge dealing maximum damage while Sor casts Triple Blizzarga but Wargoyle backs off and then extends its hands to slam them at the two who block but Wargoyle unleashes fireballs and rains them down at them but Izzy uses Sonic Blade and delivers multiple dash slashes and then delivers the final slash while Noel triple slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by a graceful spinning slash and then unleashes light and dark blades and sends them to strike but Wargoyle delivers a spinning strike with its extended flaming arms but they get away until Wargoyle falls over on the ground stunned allowing Joe to cast Water and then uses Water Raid while Mimi uses Spark Dive and then casts Balloon but Wargoyle unleashes a giant pillar of flames around itself and then slams its fiery hands on the ground to strike and then delivers two punches followed by a flaming tail whip but Caleb coats his two Keyblades with Water magic and then delivers splashing slashes while Sora casts Raging Stream in the Dream Eater, Prime realizes Soul Surge Ice with Kari's Keyblade borrowed and they take down Wargoyle who disappears.
Spellican appears and unleashes another Dream Eater and it is like giant lobster.
"Other lobster for the lunch!" Caleb said.

*ENDS*
"Tell me it's over…" Mimi said.
Just then a Sleeping Keyhole appears.
"Huh?" TK asked but Spellican goes for the Keyhole and disappears.
"Not again!" Sora said.
"Hey, Josh, where'd it go?" Neku asked.
"Somewhere else. Out of Delfino Plaza and out of my reach. We'll just have to let it go." Joshua said.
"Great…" Neku said.
"So, we failed the mission?" Shiki asked.
"Kari like her friends and I will go after it." Sora said.
"What?" Neku asked.
"Well, we're not really Players, so we can bend the rules…" Kari said.
"Well, I guess the rules of the world don't apply if your hearts are connected, right, Sora, Kari, everyone? That's how you roll." Joshua said.
"Then it's settled. C'mon, everyone." Sora said.
They use their Keyblades to unlock the Sleeping Keyhole.
"Sora, Kari, everyone. Thanks. It wasn't easy, but you guys made it easier." Neku said.
"Wow, Neku. You've changed." Shiki said.
"Really?" Neku asked.
"Yeah. You're less dorky." Shiki said and turns to the main group. "Once you guys find your friends, Sora, Kari, Prime, Caleb and everyone, you guys should come hang out in our town!"
"Definitely. See you guys in Shibuya." Neku said.
"Wait… We can arrive at Shibuya by the train." Caleb said.
'Shibuya…' TK thought as he remembers sadly at Gotsumon and Pumpkinmon.
"Sure, it's a deal." Matt said.
"I'd like that." Mimi said.
"Anything I should pass on to Riku, Davis, Yolei and Cody?" Joshua asked.
"No, we'll see them soon." TK said.
"Right. Thank you." Kari said.
The group unlock the Sleeping Keyhole and create a bright light.
Lighthouse
By the lighthouse, Riku, Davis, Yolei and Cody are back in Delfino Plaza.
"Delfino Plaza?" Riku asked.
"But how?" Yolei wondered.
"Why are we back?" Cody asked.
"Joshua." Riku said as Joshua walks behind them.
"Nice of you four join us." Joshua said.
"You summoned us." Davis said.
"What happened?" Riku asked.
"Trouble happened. I was hoping four of you could help." Joshua said.
"When did Sora and his friends get here?" Riku asked.
"Bravo, Riku. I know Caleb was able to catch on, but why can't Sora be this quick on the uptake?" Joshua asked.
"Yeah, Sora's a little…" Riku stops talking.
"A bit like Davis. They're both too similar, probably." Yolei said grinning.
"Hey!" Davis said offended.
"Anyway, what's the problem?" Cody asked.
"We've got a nasty Dream Eater on our hands. It keeps jumping between worlds. Not only that, but it knows how to summon creatures like it. Pretty powerful ones too. The others are on a mission to stop it, but they need help." Joshua said.
"Others, as in Shiki and Beat?" Davis asked.
"That's right. They all found their Game partners and Shiki is on the other Delfino Plaza. In fact, Sora, Caleb, Prime, Kari and everyone are helping them out." Joshua said.
"Good to hear. So, what can we do?" Riku asked.
"Actually, the Dream Eater just reappeared in the zone of the Pianta Statue. I sent Beat and his partner to face it." Joshua said.
"We're on it." Cody said.
"Riku, Davis, Yolei, Cody, there's something else you need to know." Joshua said.
"Huh? What?" Riku asked.
"These two Delfino Plazas separated by the Portal…I was under the impression they were parallel worlds, but it looks like I was wrong." Joshua said.
"Wrong how?" Yolei asked.
"That's where it gets tricky. After you four, Sora, Caleb, Prime, Kari and everyone left, Shiki crossed the Portal to join her Gam partner. Did you notice the Players have a mission timer inscribed on their hands? When Shiki got to the other side, Shiki had more time left on her clock than her partner. When Beat's partner crossed over from the other side, she had LESS time left." Joshua explained.
"So, time flows differently here and there?" Riku asked.
"Isn't that true of any two worlds?" Cody asked.
"Their home world would be running on a different time axis." Riku said.
"Yes, I understand that, but if these Delfino Plazas were parallel worlds, then time would flow the same in both. It doesn't, though, ergo they are not parallel worlds." Joshua said.
"So, there's a past…" Davis was saying.
"And a future." Riku said.
"No. Impossible. The worlds are clearly separate. It's not just time that sets them apart. As you two noted, every world flow at its own pace, which tells me that for all their similarities, these are two distinct worlds." Joshua said.
"Distinct worlds?" Riku asked.
"Yes, but this is all conjecture. It's like the same world imagined by two people. What does that tell you? That we're in…" Joshua stops talking.
"A dream." The quartet said.
"Yes, bravo again. In which case none of this may matter one bit to me and my friends, but to you four, Sora and his friends, I think this might hold a vital clue." Joshua said.
"Right…" Davis said.
"Thanks." Riku said.
"So, the Pianta Statue?" Yolei asked.
"Wow, I'm running out of 'bravos'." Joshua said.
"C'mon, guys." Riku said.
"Right." Davis, Yolei and Cody nodded as they start moving.
Market
The quartet goes by the market of Delfino Plaza as the Dream Eaters were appearing, but they were being finished easily and they managed to arrive at the zone of the Pianta Statue.
Pianta Statue
Pax and Riku rush their way for the plaza while fighting off Dream Eaters and they later find Beat and Rhyme confronting a giant Dream Eater wearing wizard robes, hat, riding on a broomstick, and carrying a tome.
"Beat!" Riku called.
"'Bout time, yo!" Beat said.
"Sorry if we're late." Davis said.
"What happened to your Dream Eaters?" Yolei asked.
"Don't need 'em when I've got my Game partner and I don't need YOU guys!" Beat said.
"Aw, here we go again… Five seconds ago, it was, 'Where're Riku and Pax?' and now the act?" Rhyme asked.
"Bwaaah! Don't tell 'em that!" Beat said.
"It's so nice to meet you guys. I'm Rhyme. Riku, Davis, Yolei and Cody, right? Sorry my partner's acting like a doofus." Rhyme said.
"I am not! You always gotta go around and… and garnish my reputation!" Beat said.
"Since when? You burned that bridge all by yourself. 'Nobody raises his reputation by lowering others'." Rhyme said making Riku, Davis, Yolei and Cody laugh.
"Yo, Riku, Davis, Yolei, Cody! You guys gonna sit there and let her get in my grill?" Beat asked.
"Sorry, it's just… You two are cut from the same cloth." Riku said.
"I heard that." Davis said.
"I know!" Rhyme said.
"I ain't made of cloth!" Beat said.
"Beat looks and talks like a punk, but there's a heart of gold in there somewhere." Rhyme said.
"Yeah, he come through for us, so I know what you mean." Riku said.
"There, see? I'm a… Hey! Rhyme! You did NOT just call me a punk again!" Beat yelled and everyone laughs but the Dream Eater becomes angry.
"The Dream Eater is angry." Cody said nervously.
"Okay, I think we've ruffled its feathers long enough." Davis said.
The Dream Eater summons many Dream Eaters and leaves.
"Rhyme and I will handle things here!" Beat said.
"You guys go after that thing." Rhyme said.
"Gotcha! C'mon, Riku!" Davis said.
"Yeah." Riku said.
*A-WA-WA-WA! (SUPER MARIO GALAXY)*
They chase after the Dream Eater while defeating many Dream Eaters in their way and keep chasing and return to the back alley to continue chasing after the Dream Eater but then a stampede of Cera Terror Dream Eaters running their way.
"Really?" Davis asked.
"Quantity versus quality, huh?" Riku asked.
"Quality wins!" Davis said.
The Cera Terror Dream Eaters ram at the four who dodge out of the way and Davis uses Flow-motion and delivers a slamming strike while Riku uses Meteor Crash and causes great damage but the Cera Terror Dream Eaters send out cross energy strikes but Cody jumps and slashes the Dream Eaters while Riku casts Earth but the Cera Terror Dream Eaters transform into spiked balls and bounce to try and attack but Yolei casts Zero Gravity to send them adrift in the air allowing Davis to aerial strike with his Keyblade followed by delivers many strikes sending the Dream Eaters down but the Cera Terror Dream Eaters attack with their horns but Cody diagonal slashes with his Keyblade followed by casting Firaga while Riku casts Dark Fire and they defeat all of the Cera Terrors.
*ENDS*
Then Joshua appears.
"Riku, Davis, Yolei, Cody! The Shine Gate! We're going to pin it between both worlds!" Joshua said.
"Shine Gate!" Davis said.
"Got it!" Riku said as they start moving.
Shine Gate
The quartet arrive in the zone to confront the Dream Eater.
"You can't escape from us!" Davis yelled.
"We gotcha now!" Riku said.
"This is my street, yo!" Beat said.
"Gotta play by the rules." Rhyme said.
The Dream Eater escapes.
"Oh, no!" Beat said.
"Hey!" Rhyme said.
"Tai and everyone should handle this." Cody said.
"Yeah, they've got this." Riku said.
"This is so tired, yo. Every time we chase him down…" Beat stops talking.
"We know, but we've got allies on the other side." Yolei said.
"Don't worry." Riku said.
"Yeah well, I still don't like it." Beat said.
"You know, you are such a good listener, Beat. You're like a sponge, really." Joshua said.
"Me? I'm not a sponge. I'm just me." Beat said.
"You mean 'Daisukenojo Bito'?" Joshua asked.
"Hey, don't use my full name!" Beat said.
"That's a long and weird name." Davis said.
"Hey!" Beat said and everyone laughs.
Just then a Sleeping Keyhole appears.
"Well, time to go. Right, Davis?" Riku asked.
"Yep. Take care." Davis said.
"Riku, Pax, thanks." Rhyme said.
"Yeah, stay cool. We'll keep up with ya soon." Beat said.
"Oh, say hi to Noel and Sora for me." Rhyme said.
"Sure." Riku said.
"Riku, Davis, Yolei, Cody, remember what I said. Be careful. If this really is a dream, it's going to lie to you to try and make you think it's real." Joshua said.
"We got it." Riku said.
"What? I don't get it." Beat said.
"You and Sora would break your heads on this one." Joshua said.
"I heard that." Davis said and everyone laughs again.
Davis, Yolei, Cody and Riku use their Keyblades to unlock the Sleeping Keyhole and create a bright light.
Peach's Castle: Throne Room
Meanwhile in the castle of the Princess Peach, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Toadsworth, the plants are confronting Bowser with his son and Kamek holding captive the Princess Peach.
"Bowser, you big turtle!" Peashooter exclaimed.
"And the one who incriminates my brother!" Luigi added.
"This works for me. We all got a role play, right?" Bowser Jr said as Kamek is holding Peach hostage in a magic bubble.
"At least Bowser Jr is honest, in a dishonest way." Cactus said.
"Yup." Yoshi said.
"Let it go the princess!" Toadsworth demanded.
"Silence!" Bowser ordered. "No underling of mine should be insulted so. I have great plans for my dear son and for all the worlds... Once I have taken them for my own."
"Then I got bad news for you... That day's never gonna come!" Mario told him.
"Perhaps you should take a few moments to reconsider. Or does Peach's life mean nothing to you at all?" Kamek said.
"Mario! Don't you listen to them!" Peach begged. "You can't let have Bowser have his-"
"Silence!" Kamek said and uses a sleeping spell on Peach.
"No! Princess!" Mario exclaimed. "All right, Bowser. Tell us what you want."
"Let me see... Shall I begin with this world? I much preferred it in its darker, more ominous permutation." Bowser said.
"You said it. This place needs some lights-out time!" Bowser Jr exclaimed.
"You're lying, Bowser!" Mario said. "Not even you would go through this much trouble just for that. What is it you're really after?"
Bowser sighed. "Very perceptive. I presume you are familiar with Xehanort, the man who led me to discover worlds outside of my own?"
"You know him!?" Mario exclaimed.
"As do you, I see. Yes, he shared everything with me... How to go about winning a heart over to the darkness, and, most gloriously, about the seven hearts of pure light... The ones that would grant me the power I need to conquer all worlds. However, the worlds were too complex, too much for even me to contain. It seemed I had miscalculated. Then it came to me... Of course! I could go about conquering other worlds in my own manner. You do have the 'data' for all the worlds, do you not? And now you will hand it over to me." Bowser said.
"What do you mean by data?" Sunflower asked.
"Don't you losers pretend you don't remember. Me and my dad were trapped inside it. Now cough it up!" Bowser Jr exclaimed.
"Why do you want the data?" Mario asked.
"I'm afraid that is no concern of yours." Kamek said.
Mario clenched his fists and growled under his breath while the plants pointed at the villains, Luigi preparing his P3000 and Yoshi preparing to use his tongue. "Ah-ah-ah... Wouldn't want her Royal Princess Peach to get a boo-boo, now would we?" Bowser Jr asked, smirking.
"I see you have failed to recognize the futility of your situation. Very well... Sayonara Mario Brothers!" Bowser exclaimed as he fired a red fireball from his mouth, but Chomper starts to dig... But before it could make a bite, a portal opened up and two familiar chakrams came out as one blocked the flame and the other one went by Kamek, forcing him to dodge it... And accidentally freeing Peach.
"Light!" Peach exclaimed, knocking Kamek and Bowser Jr away.
"Princess!" Mario exclaimed as the two ran to each other and embraced... Then other prepared to fight and then Mario summoned his Keyblade. "Bowser... You lose!"
Bowser growled under her breath, glaring at them. "Lord Bowser, I think the Mario is right. We better hit the road!" Kamek told him.
"I now know that what I seek lies within these walls. But I refuse to lose being to close..." Bowser said.
Suddenly green flames surrounded the heroes and, a portal appears revealing as Maleficent and Pete.
"Bowser! To me!" Maleficent ordered.
"We don't have much time!" Pete said.
Then Bowser with his son and Kamek entered in the portal created by Maleficent and the green flames disappeared.
They all turned around to see Axel walking out of the portal. "You used the darkness to get here? That was reckless." Mario said as Axel picked up one of his chakrams. "But gosh, I didn't expect you to save us... Axel."
"Axel didn't. My name is Lea... Got it memorized?" Lea said.
"Hey!" The voice of Mickey said appearing in the entry. "I lost of something."
"Well, a weird witch that can summon green Maleficent helped Bowser to escape." Luigi explained.
"I was afraid of that. Anyways, my name is Mickey Mouse." Mickey said.
"How you managed to arrive there, Master Mickey?" Toadsworth asked.
"I'm a Keyblade Master too." Mickey said summoning his Seeker Star Keyblade.
"What are you doing here, Mickey?" Luigi asked.
"Maleficent and Pete come to this world and they're planning kidnap at the eighth pure heart princess." Mickey explained.
"Maleficent was the same who created the green flames." Chomper said and the mouse nodded.
"I know the name of the eighth princess of heart." Peach said.
"Kari." Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, Toadsworth and Lea replied.
Then they start to talk about the situation of Sora and Riku, like the story from Mickey.
Bowser's Castle: Throne Room
Bowser, his son and Kamek are with Maleficent and Pete were talking.
"I can't understand. How you managed to arrive here? And why are you helping us?" Bowser asked.
"How can you be trustable?" Bowser Jr asked.
"I think that they're trustable." Kamek said.
"Well, you must be the King Bowser and the prince Bowser Junior, an honor to meet you. My name is Maleficent, the Mistress of All Evil and I'm searching to the eighth pure heart princess." Maleficent said.
"And I'm the All Mighty Pete. You know the name of that princess?" Pete said and asks.
"I know her, the baby princess or Kari." Bowser said.
"Well, you and me we can capture her and use her heart for open the door to Kingdom Hearts." Maleficent said.
"I like this plan." Bowser said. "Kamek, contact the other villains!"
"Understood!" Kamek said and pulled his crystal orb.
In the crystal orb, Ganondorf, King Dedede, Team Rocket Leader Giovanni, Etemon, Doctor Eggman, the image of six different monsters. Unknown for the villains two jesters appeared, one is red and tall, the other is red with yellow and rounded.
"Kingdom Hearts?" The rounded jester asked.
"A way to conquer the worlds." The tall jester said. But Maleficent notices them.
"And what are you two are doing here?" Maleficent asked.
"Sorry for appear like that, I'm Joker." The jester called Joker introduced.
"And I'm Reala, of Nightmare." The jester called Reala introduced.
"And what you brings you two here?" Bowser asked.
"I want conquer those worlds for avenge my fallen Lord Ghadius." Joker said.
"Also, I like join to this plan in name of Wizeman, who was defeated by my sister and arch nemesis, Nights." Reala said.
"Well, with more allies the things is going to be fun." Pete said.
Then the villains laugh evilly as the thunders boomed.
Japan: Tokyo
Luke was walking by the night on the streets as he yawns.
"You seems tired. Why don't take a rest?" Chibi said popping out of Luke's pockets.
"Yes, you're right. But tomorrow will search at my little brother in the morning. Right?" Luke said.
"Yup." Chibi nodded.
Then Luke goes to a hotel for take a rest until tomorrow.
