I don't own To Love-Ru or Kingdom Hearts


A Lump of Horror and Unbreakable Chains

Monstropolis - Monster's Inc. Door Vault (Service Area)

"Attack!"

Right after Randall gave the order, this Lump of Horror formed two hands from its dark body and sunk them into the ground. Small waves of dark ooze spread on the floor and more dark hands appeared from the ooze, outnumbering the group and all ready with fire balls! The hands tossed the barrage of flames to Sora's team; them dodging the assault with relative ease, but the hands didn't stop; as they conjured more fireballs and consecutively threw them at the group. Sora, Donald, and Momo tried to retaliate by attacking the hands via magic and flower cannons, but for each few they destroyed others took their place.

"Guys! Let's get our scary out!" Mike called out to the rest. They got together and each gave the unversed a face of war. The hands had suddenly stopped in place, having its negativity been used against the Unversed. Sora eyed Mike; then the hands and noticed that they were all grouped together, giving him an idea.

"Sorry Mike!" he cheerfully apologized as he scooped up the round monster; ignoring his rapid complaining, and tossed him like a bowling ball!

Strike! The rolling Mike crashed into the hands, dispersing the group like bowling pins and crashed into the Unversed, bashing it awake! It roared and charged right at the team, knocking them into the sky! As Donald, Goofy, Mike, and Sulley were knocked away, Sora and Momo recovered in the air, with Sora transforming Hero's Origin into its shield formation, his fur color changing along with it.

"Stay back Momo, I've got this!"

Sora landed on the ground, shield at the ready as the Unversed charged him!

*Ding!*

Sora grit his teeth as the Shield defended him from the knockback of the tackle. The Unversed rounded back for a third tackle, causing Sora to bring his glowing shield up once more!

*Ding!*

Hero's Origin now glowed with an even brighter light than before and he pushed his shield out towards the Unversed. The shield opened and released a fierce flurry of giant punches, ending with a singular mighty blow! The Creature was sent flying back, slamming into the wall, exploding in a black oozy mess.

But it wasn't over yet!

With a gargled roar, a torrent of dark ooze quickly spread itself all across the ground and on the gates surrounding the area, creating spots of dark goop. Then, many gooey black hands; big and small, rose out of these spots, startling the team. The atmosphere had turned into a hellish red-orange and The Lump of Horror had placed itself in the middle of these hands, transformed into a 'winged' form extending from a dark puddle on the floor. The Unversed flapped it's wings forward, sending strong gusts of wind to the party, pushing them back into pools of black ooze. Momo had tried to get airborne and fight against the wind, only for several hands on the gates to slam her down onto the floor, making her cry out in pain and coating her in black goo. Dark Ooze came up from the floor and wrapped around the team trapping them and threatening to sink them into its thick darkness. Sora struggled to get loose along with his allies before he pulsed with a warm light.

"That's enough!"

He flexed and a strong aura of light shot out of Sora's body, dispelling the black oozy darkness from himself and his friends; knocking the Unversed back slightly from the force. Sora then threw his shield into the air, transforming it into a chariot and materializing a magic Pegasus image to pull it. He got on and rode the chariot in the sky, calling down mighty sparks of lightning on the gooey hands and upon the large Unversed. The Lump of Horror roared as the rain of lightning bolts crashed down, destroying its hands and its composition. The monster called in all of its ooze in an effort to hold itself together, but it was no use, for it then deflated and collapsed into a mess on the floor.

Randall scuttled his way over to the now defunct monstrosity "WHY?!" he shouted in absolute frustration. Now that everything had settled down, It was at this point that Mike noticed a door; Randall's door, off to the side of the room. The door was damaged but had been patched together by pulsating dark purple energy.

Sora also noticed the door and gave it a look over 'The power of darkness, no doubt.' he mentally concluded.

As Randall continued to investigate and kick the device, he was suddenly cut across his body near his abdomen by...a dark flower?

"Oh my, that looks like it can cause some serious trouble for you" Randall turned to the female voice; Momo, who was slowly walking up to him with a not so innocent smile. He tried to make a break for it when his body suddenly felt stiff, so stiff, he collapsed onto the ground, unable to move.

"Feeling disoriented?" she continued, raising another of the flower she used to cut through the lizard "I was wondering if this venom would work on a monster like yourself, but it looks like I worried over nothing." She closed her eyes "Now then..." and her cannon flowers had risen up from the ground "To make sure you don't hurt any more children."

"Ok, I get it!" It was enough that he couldn't move, but the not so vague threat accompanied by her rather menacing aura had made Randall become terrified of her at this point "Enough already ya crazy broad!"

"Hmm...no..." She reopened her eyes, pupils seemingly turned into silts as her voice went low "I don't think so..."

BAM!


Monstropolis - The Door Vault

The group had all reconvened on one of the platforms of the door vault. Randall's door was placed and they were all set to send the now unconscious lizard off.

Mike opened the door "Gotta say, I'm impressed. Missing Randall like that to knock him out using nothin' but fear." he complimented Momo. "You would have been a great scarer."

Sulley laughed "Maybe back then..." he chimed in with Randall in his hands "But now, we're in the business of making children laugh." he cast a look of fondness to Boo, who giggled with cheer.

Momo couldn't help but smile at the toddler 'Well that's a relief.'

"Okay Sull, ready?" Mike asked his Co-worker with a big grin. Sulley had a grin himself as he heaved Randall back.

"You...know it!" and tossed the Lizard back into his door! A loud crash was heard and-

"Wha...Whaa?..." it would appear that Randall was coming to...

"Ma! That gator's in the house again!" a male with a southern accent suddenly yelled.

"Are you kiddin' me?!" Now a female with a southern accent shouted back in disbelief "Oh, this time, he's in for it!"

What followed was a severe beating of Randall Boggs that was both too humorous and too brutal to describe. Our heroes winched and flinched as they heard metal clanging and slamming, cultivating in Randall letting out a scream of pain and terror.

Mike laughed like a little imp "So long! Smell ya later!" and closed the door, ending that little display just as Sulley walked up to the door.

"And now we just need to do one last thing." he raised a fist in preparation to shatter the door once again when it suddenly started to glow with a soft white light...

"Huh?/Woah..." was the collective response as the door rose up high into the air and flew back into a far off section where many of the Monster's Inc doors lay. It; along with several other doors now, glowed with a brighter white light and thanks to the arrangement of the doors, the lights aligned with each other and formed...a Keyhole.

Donald stared wide-eyed "Is that...?"

A smile found its way onto Sora "It is!" He summoned Kingdom Key and raised its tip at the keyhole shape; which responded by becoming filled with light. A light grew at the tip of Kingdom Key before a great beam of light shot out and made contact with the keyhole.

*Click*

Momo and the others heard the sound of a heavy door locking and the keyhole glowed with a overwhelming light, disappearing along with the doors used to create it.

'What in the world was that?' Momo stared at the keyblade in wonder. She couldn't help but feel like something great was accomplished 'I'll have to ask Sora later.'

"...You know you're paying for those doors, right?"

"HUH?" Sora whirled around to Mike; who was giving him a stern glare before suddenly smiling and playfully pointing a finger

"...Gotcha!"

There was a resulting silence...that eventually grew into joyous laughter.


Monstropolis - The Door Vault (Boo's Door)

The group resumed their search and eventually found Boo's door among many other doors on the wall of The Door Vault. Once they did they climbed (flew in Momo's case) to it's location when suddenly the doors started moving along the rails, catching everyone by surprise!

"Woooaahh! What now?!" Mike cried as they were carried out of the door vault with Momo flying closely behind, just as confused as he was. Who's doing this? And why?!


Monstropolis - Monsters Inc. Lobby & Offices

Sora and his friends rode in on their doors, coming to a stop at several stations to find the one that had called for the doors...a member of Organization XIII who seemed around Sora's height...

"Who are you?" Sora asked the mysterious member walking forward.

"Gotta say..." His cold voice began as he went to unhood himself "That strange facade had me fooled at first...brother." only to reveal a black helmet with a jagged silver face guard at the bottom going around to the back.

Momo landed and her expression flinched 'Brother?...' she couldn't help but wonder why he would say that, but as much as she wanted to ask, something about his presence felt extremely foul, to the point it made her skin crawl in frightful anticipation.

Sora rolled his eyes "Oh please, who are you to call anyone else strange?" his response was full of sass.

Momo decided to ask Donald and Goofy as she leaned in. "Excuse me, but is he familiar to you at all?"

Donald was at a loss for words "Uhh..."

"Gawrsh, not that we remember..." admitted Goofy

"We've never met in the flesh." The Organization member brought a hand to his chest; introducing himself. "I am...Vanitas."

Donald and Goofy's faces lit up while Sora remained ever sassy "This is the part where you spout some mumbo-jumbo then disappear, right?" he was very well acquainted with how they work at this point.

Vanitas walk to the side while he resumed his 'Mumbo-jumbo' "This whole World...was powered by scream, they converted the screams of human children into energy..." he picked up one canister of scream "and this very company was what made it all happen." before walking back with it in his hand "It's as rich a source of negative emotion as we'll ever find."

It just dawned onto Momo after hearing them back to back...did this Vanitas's voice sound similar to Sora? Sure it was much deeper but...were her senses playing tricks on her...?

"For the last time, we already stopped doing that!" Mike loudly objected, bringing himself to the front of the group.

"Did you?" his voice turned callous "Then how do you explain all these canisters of surplus scream littering the place?" There was a moment of silence as he displayed the canister in his hand before he continued "This facility was everything I could hope for, and I was lucky enough to find a pawn; whose heart was darkened by thoughts of revenge." he began to casually flip the canister with one hand.

The one-eyed monster glared "You mean Randall."

"All Randall ever cared about was winning, and this guy must've took advantage of that weakness." Sulley explained and assumed.

"My heart is made of just one thing..." Vanitas continued as he raised the canister up "and the Unversed continued to collect fear and sadness to not only reconstruct it, but also empower my pure dark heart that much further."

"Yeah! and the whole time they were trashing our company in the process!" Mike; outraged, had tried to charge at the Organization member, but Sulley had grabbed him by the head to prevent him from doing such a reckless act.

Vanitas continued as Mike struggled in Sulley's grip "But; even with all this negativity, my heart is still...incomplete." he slowly brought the scream canister forward "I need something else..." and dropped it to the floor. The canister malfunctioned and let loose it's contained scream, propelling it forward! The group sidestepped it while Sulley and Momo dove away with Mike and Boo in Sulley's arms; all of them turning to watch the canister release its scream as it flew throughout the room before it landed on the floor and rolled in front of Sora.

"The half of me that sleeps on..." Hearing Vanitas's voice made Sora turn back to him, only to meet with his weapon; a Keyblade?!

"...inside of your heart."

The teeth and head were black with a red outline and possessed a round, cog-like shape. The handle was red and the guard had the same coloration and cog-like shape as the teeth. The shaft was predominantly colored in shades of grey and sports a copper-colored gear in the center with two intersecting black chains wrapped around it. Two more chains were wrapped around the base of the shaft in a similar fashion. It also had two blue, reptilian-like gazing eyes; one located in the head of the blade and one embedded in the hilt. Its Keychain was comprised of three small, copper gears and ended in a charm resembling two halves of a gear arranged in an S-shape.

'Dark' would be the appropriate word to describe Vanitas's Keyblade; Void Gear...

"Vanitas!" Sora yelled, but his voice was overlapped with that of another's, throwing him for a loop. Almost as if another part of himself responded in synchronization...

"Ventus..." Vanitas sounded satisfied with what just occurred. "What a strange place to slither off to..." he walked forward to Sora and slowly raised his free hand as he got closer "You insignificant speck." Vanitas's tone turned more aggressive and Sora batted his hand away, taking a few steps back himself.

"What are you talking about?!"

By this point, Sulley, Mike, and Boo began crawling behind the office desks, making their way around and behind Vanitas as Momo stood behind to listen to him talking.

"Oh...you wouldn't remember. When you were a child, you formed a special bond..." he curled his hand and pointed a finger at Sora "with a boy named Ventus who joined with your heart."

Momo quietly let out a breath of shock at this revelation. 'But isn't Ventus-'

"Ven!" Donald's voice broke Momo out of her thoughts, making her refocus on the scene before her.

"Is he sayin' that one of the missing keyblade wielders is inside Sora's heart?" Goofy wondered out-loud.

Sora put out his hand and gazed "How is that possible?" his tone was full of a soft confusion, only to be interrupted by an miasma of darkness swelling around Vanitas.

"Now...you will return Ventus to me!" the miasma burst forward and Sora suddenly felt a intense sharp pain in his chest! He grunted and groaned as he collapsed onto the floor, his vision of Vanitas and the path of the darkness being blocked by two of his friends.

"Donald...Goofy..."

Indeed, they had their staff and shield set in front of themselves, pushing against the darkness with a light aura to defend Sora.

"The King told us about this! Ventus wasn't able to defeat Vanitas!" Goofy paused as the struggle against Vanitas intensified "They struck each other down, and The King said that Ventus's heart never returned to him!"

"You're not gonna do that to Sora!" Donald struggled as well before "No way!" the aura of light grew strong and dispelled the dark miasma.

"Stay out of this!" Vanitas thrusted his hand forward, sending a wave of darkness to toss Donald and Goofy above and far behind Sora, making them land in a heap on the floor!

They gasped as tendrils of darkness pinned them down and Vanitas continued his advance "Sora!"

"Enough!"

"Huh?" Vanitas looked up just in time to see a pink beam coming right at him!

BOOM!

The beam of lighting seemingly hit Vanitas dead on, resulting in a large dust cloud! Momo landed in front of Sora, her d-dial at the ready.

"Momo, no. He's too dangerous...!" Sora weakly tried to stop her

"So I should just stand aside while he does something horrible to you?" she countered, glaring and not taking her eyes off of the dust cloud "I refuse to let that happen." The dust settled and Vanitas appeared to have a dark barrier surrounding him before it dissipated, no doubt how he defended from Momo's attack.

"Outta the way..." He paused "Princess."

He pulled his keyblade up and a very thick wave of darkness suddenly shot up from below Momo, making her lose her grip on the D-Dial and taking her up, pinning her to the ceiling!

"Momo!" Sora cried out. She grunted and lightly moaned as she tried to break the hold of these frighteningly strong dark binds with her devilukean strength, but more pressingly-

'Can't breathe...!' she was struggling to get air into her lungs!

Sora summoned Kingdom Key and tried to fend off this advancing being of negativity, but Vanitas simply disarmed Sora by clashing and swiping it away via his own Keyblade.

He kicked Momo's D-Dial away and pointed his Keyblade at Sora before he turned it "Join your heart..." Vanitas could practically see Ventus in front of himself...

"...With Mine!"

and he prepared to rip Ventus's heart right out of Sora, when he suddenly felt a presence behind himself. He turned...

"Made you look!"

And Sulley let loose one of his signature top scarer roars! It was enough to make Vanitas; a being of pure negative emotion, drop his Keyblade from the sheer shock of it all! This also caused Momo, Donald, and Goofy to be released from his dark hold.

"Guahg!" He grunted as he struggled in Sulley's strong grip "Let me go!" he ordered to no avail. He continued to try and break out of his grasp while Mike called some more doors down to several stations.

"Over here, Sulley!" he beckoned as he opened one of the doors.

Sulley saw the open door and immediately knew what the plan was. He rushed to the front of the door, and with a swing of his arms...threw Vanitas inside!

"Close it! Quick!"

Mike did so without a moment to spare. But they were not done yet, for Sulley took that door off of its station and threw it into another door...and that one into another, and THAT one into ANOTHER! As a finale, they took that final door to a device known as a door shredder, turning that door into sawdust! They laughed and gave each other a high-five after a mission accomplished!

"Kitty!" Boo raised her hands up for high-fives too, which they obliged.

"That was awesome!"

Sora's voice had gotten their attention and noticed he and his team were now well again as Momo recovered her D-Dial.

"Thank you!" Donald gave his thanks.

"We owe ya!" As did Goofy.

Momo bowed. "Yes, thank you very much!"

"No, we should be thanking you." Sulley smiled "We would've never gotten Boo this far if you guys hadn't come along to help."

Mike smiled as well "And finally, we've found her door."

Sora nodded before he walked to the giggling toddler and knelt down to eye level "Boo, I know how much you like spending time with Mike and Sulley, sorry we dragged you into all of this"

"Watch it! You're gonna scare her with that face!" loudly scolded Donald.

"Hey! You are way scarier!" Sora countered back with a growling motion.

Goofy laughed "Ahyuck! Momo's the scariest one if you ask me."

"Eh?!" Momo couldn't help but be taken aback by that statement, it was enough to make everyone laugh out loud, including herself.

"Okay Boo, time to go." Sulley spoke with a soft kindness.

"Kitty..." It was one word, but the tone told of Boo's disappointment of having to leave.

"We'll see each other another time, Boo." Momo told her, feeling bittersweet herself.

Boo turned "...Momo!" and ran up to hug the monster devilukean, to the surprise of everyone else.

Momo stood frozen before eventually returning the gesture in kind "Hmm" before she released her to Sulley with a head pat "Take care."

"Boo!"

The toddler turned around to Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

"So long!" and they made silly expressions and motions as they gave a heartfelt farewell, getting one last laugh out of her before Sulley guided Boo by the hand to her white door...and back home.


"Sorry for all the headaches we caused." Sora apologized to the two Monster's Inc. workers who walked them back to the lobby to see them off.

"Don't mention it. And actually..." Sulley spoke with fondness "It was kinda nice havin' a little adventure for old times' sake."

Mike nodded in agreement "Yeah the flying and so on; and hey, let's not do that paint thing again" he deadpanned before he continued "But nothing like runnin' for our lives to get the heart pumping!" Sora folded his hands behind his head as he finished, feeling carefree.

"I had a great time!"

"Donald, all you did was complain!" teased Sora, much to the monster duck's annoyance.

"I did not!"

"Any chance we can drop by again?" asked Goofy

Mike snapped his fingers at the group "The door's always open!"

"And maybe Boo can join us!"

"Oh that'd be wonderful! Thank you!" Momo bowed with a smile, just as Sora and Sulley shook hands one last time. Then, they took their leave.

"Goodbye!" The keybearer waved farewell as his teamates also said their goodbyes with him.

"For the record; I still get the most laughs!" Mike called out.

"Happy Exterminating!"

Sora couldn't help but chuckle and shrug at his little white lie being brought up again.

"Thank you!"

But it was worth it...to save this World's smiles.


And that ends Monsters Inc.!

I've been able to write less and less these days, as my free time is getting taken up more and more, so my apologies if these chapters come out a bit late.

I know the fight with Lump of Horror was on the short side. I unfortunately didn't see it doing more than just the things I wrote until after I wrote the fight out. (Did you know it could inflict the thunderstorm status on you? I didn't!)

Momo knocking out Randall was indeed a callback to how she defeated Azenda. I also wanted to give her a nice farewell to Boo that will get touched upon in the next chapter's interlude.

Yes I plan to add the World Keyholes to this story as a whole, not just regulated to Monster's Inc. Gives a sense of finality to a World's ending.

I also have plans for Vanitas to have a much more impact on the story here than he did in the original KH3, as do the theme of emotions.

Next time, a quick interlude with Sora and co. Before we FINALLY go back to Team Rito.

(Update 3/16/21: General Update)

(Update 1/25/22: Changed a line to be more in line with KH3)
