Chapter 4: Showdown with the Titans

(Mount Olympus-Ravine)

(Information: Make your way up the summit!)

Ky, Noel, Sora, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, Murray, Lucas, Donald, Goofy, and Hercules leave Thebes and arrive at a ravine.

"We need to get to the top and stop Hades." Goofy said.

"Before he can cause any more damage." Tails said.

The group start to move through the ravine only to find a river full of water.

"That's odd…" Hercules said.

"What's up, Herc?" Ky asked.

"The river's never this full. Someone's behind this." Hercules said.

"Guess we'll find out." Sora said.

The group keep going but then Harpy Black Xetis and Air Soldier Heartless appear and attack but they fight them off and keep going but they see more Heartless and they're Water Core Heartless.

"Guess we know why the river's flooded." Bentley said.

"Let's take 'em out!" Max said.

The Water Core Heartless unleash streams of water but Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope and then casts Fire while Noel aerial slashes with Radiant Salvation while Sora vertical slashes with Kingdom Key but the Water Core Heartless create water shields and unleash rainclouds at the group but Donald casts Fire at the water shields evaporating them allowing Elena to combine her Blizzard spell with magic concussive blasts and unleashes an ice concussive spell while Bentley throws electric darts but the Water Core Heartless disappear in streams of water and charge at the group but Shadow uses Chaos Control to slow time slowing down the Heartless allowing Kiyo to have Zatch use Zaker while Lucas uses PK Freeze but the Water Core Heartless fires streams of water and then unleash rainclouds but Goofy uses Goofy Discus while Max uses Shield Boomerang while T.J. throws knives but the Water Core Heartless create water shields but Ken combines Fire magic with magic music fists and then delivers a powerful fiery music punch destroying the shields allowing Grace to use Growl while Lucky uses Egg Throw but the Water Core Heartless disappear in streams and charge but Storm uses Volt Tackle while Tails shoots lasers from his blaster while Murray uses Tornado Punch but the Water Core Heartless keep attacking with streams of water but Sly uses Cane Jump while Blaze shoots fireballs while Fulgur aerial attacks with his claws while Millia attacks with lightning fast flying speed while Hercules picks up a giant boulder and throws it and they defeat all of the Heartless.

After defeating the Heartless the river starts to lower down.

"Well, that takes care of the river problem." Elena said.

"Now, we have an even more important problem to deal with." Donald said.

"Hades. Let's hurry." Ky said and everyone nods.

The group continue to move through the ravine to reach the summit while fighting off more Black Xetis and Heartless in their way and they continue to climb up until later they reach partly high up and as they keep moving they feel a quake.

"Not again…" Lucas said.

"This sure does feel awfully familiar." Goofy said.

"Yeah, just like before." Sora said.

"Why does this keep happening?" Ky asked.

"Guys, this is getting worse by the minute. I hope I'm wrong, but my family might need me." Hercules said as he whistles making Pegasus fly in and lands near Hercules. "Sora, Ky, Noel, I'm gonna go fly ahead. You all have been a very big help, but leave the rest to me." Hercules said.

"You said your family… What family?" Noel asked.

"Oh, yeah! I never told ya guys. Dad's king of the gods." Hercules said getting on Pegasus who starts to fly off.

"King of the gods?!" T.J. asked shocked.

"Herc's father's a god…?" Sora asked.

"Doesn't that mean Herc's a god too?" Ky asked.

"I think it does." Tails said.

"No wonder he's so strong." Donald said.

"Well, in that case, he's gonna kick Hades' ass and our mission's complete!" Ken said smiling but Elena whacks his head with his staff.

"Use your brain for once, Ken! Organization XIII are here and the same could be said for the Brotherhood! Not only that, but the Horned King, Nightmare, and Maleficent and their crones are still causing trouble!" Elena yelled.

"Elena's right. We can't sit back now." Sly said.

"Yeah, Herc still needs our help." Sora said.

"Good points." Goofy said.

"Then let's get moving!" Shadow said.

"We're heroes!" Zatch said.

"And heroes never quit!" Donald said.

Just then a flash occurs as Sora remembers what Hercules said.

"Hmm, that's tough… All I know is that she was in trouble. Suddenly, I wanted to save her with all my heart…" Sora remembered Hercules' words.

"We fight with all our hearts." Sora said.

"Yeah, all of it! Let's move!" Ky said and everyone nods.

The group start to move through the cliff.

(Mount Olympus-Mountainside)

The group arrive at the mountainside of the cliff but as they keep going but feel a quake again and they look up and see something.

"What the…?" Max asked.

"That's…" Sora stops talking as they see a giant made of crags of rock with two heads.

"Rock Titan!" Donald and Goofy said.

"You saw it?" Murray asked.

"Yeah, we fought it before during Hades' first tournament." Goofy said.

"He's as dumb as a rock." Donald said.

Rock Titan picks up a rock and throws it down at the group who dodge.

"We gotta get up there before we get crushed!" Ky said as he and his group and Sora get on Fulgur while Noel and her group as well as Donald and Goofy get on Millia.

Fulgur and Millia start flying up the cliff while dodging rocks being thrown by Rock Titan and it throws another rock down the mountain but they keep flying up and just then sky turns dark and Rock Titan throws down more rocks but Ky, Noel, and Sora destroy every rock in their path but a rock gets Fulgur and Millia making them fall to the higher part of the mountain.

"Fulgur!" Ky cried.

"Millia!" Noel cried.

"Oh, no!" Sora said.

"Hang on, boy." Ky said as he and Noel cast Cure on the two animals.

"That rock brain's gonna pay for that!" Elena yelled.

"Let's go!" Blaze said.

"You two rest up. We'll be back." Ky said.

The group make their way through the cliff and rain starts pouring down from the dark sky while lightning flashes as Black Xetis and Heartless appear and attack but the group defeat them and continue through the cliff but Rock Titan throws another rock at the group who dodge making parts of the cliff break.

"That's it! That rock sack of crap is goin' down!" Ken yelled.

"Let's go and defeat that freak!" Bentley said.

(Information: Defeat Rock Titan!)

Ky, Noel, and Sora run up the walls while dodging falling rocks by Rock Titan and they manage to confront the giant Titan.

"We took you out before!" Sora said.

"And we'll do it again!" Donald said.

"With us together, it'll be easy." T.J. said.

(Boss Theme: The Deep End)

Rock Titan stomps on the ground to crush the group but Ky slashes at one of its feet with Dawn of Hope followed by casting Fire and then delivers a sliding kick and horizontal slashes while Noel diagonal slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by a flipping slash and then casts Water while Sora triple slashes with Kingdom Key and then delivers a blitz slash but Rock Titan unleashes rocks from the ground and keeps trying to stomp on the group but Goofy and Max block the rocks with their shields and they join together to deliver a shield hurricane strike while Shadow multi punches with Chaos infused power while Murray uses Tornado Punch but Rock Titan keeps stomping on the ground and tries to crush to group while unleashing more rocks but Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Blaze uses Fire Drill while Sly uses Cane Push but Rock Titan jumps and keeps stomping over and over while unleashing more crags of rocks from the ground at the group but T.J. dash slashes with his knife while Ken casts Thunder followed by casting Blizzard while Donald casts Aero but Rock Titan keeps stomping on the group and unleashes rock spikes but Lucas uses PK Love while Storm uses Volt Tackle while Grace uses Tackle but Rock Titan jumps all over and keeps unleashing spikes over and over while unleashing rocks but Lucky uses Egg Roll while Elena shoots magic concussive blasts and then casts Thunder but Rock Titan unleashes more rocks from the ground but Tails summons Magic Hand and it delivers a punch while Bentley throws electric bombs and after enough attacks they manage to strike both feet making Rock Titan fall over dazed.

"Now's our chance!" Ky said.

"Let's go up and strike!" Sora said.

The group climb up the Titan and confront Rock Titan's heads and the heads start banging at the group but Ky, Noel, and Sora attack with their Keyblades but Rock Titan keeps banging their heads but then Fulgur and Millia come flying in.

"They're okay!" Ky said.

"Come on." Noel said as they get on their companions.

"Donald, Goofy, I got an idea! Hop on!" Sora said as he summons what looks like a giant mountain train.

"Oh, boy!" Donald said.

"Let's get on!" Goofy said as they get on the train.

Fulgur, Millia, and the train fly over Rock Titan who tries to attack but they dodge and Fulgur unleashes feathered like arrows while Millia delivers a powerful kick at one of the heads while Sora uses the train to unleash flares from the chimney but Rock Titan continues to attack but they keep dodge and Fulgur, Millia, and the train keep attacking the Titan dealing excellent damage.

"This is it, boy! Pay that bastard back!" Ky said.

"Millia, finish this!" Noel said.

"Let's end this!" Sora said.

Fulgur and Millia charge at Rock Titan and they deliver a powerful charging strike while Sora unleashes mega flares from the train's chimney and they finish off Rock Titan who stumbles and falls back from the mountain.

"Yes, that's one down!" Sora said.

"Take THAT, Rock-for-Brains!" Zatch said.

"They're not tough by themselves." Goofy said.

"It's just as you said, Donald. That Titan was dumb as a rock." Tails said.

"Told ya." Donald said.

"So, what's next?" Noel asked.

"We should keep moving and follow where Herc's going." Ky said and everyone nods.

(Mount Olympus-Summit)

The group move through the summit and they later find a cave and go in it and they find a blockade of rocks and so Ky, Noel, and Sora destroy it revealing what looks like a clouded place.

"This place looks different." Max said.

"I've never seen it before." Elena said.

"There's a gate. Wonder where it leads." Bentley said.

The group go up the stairs and go through the gate taking them to a different place and it's a clouded courtyard.

"This place is…" Blaze stops talking.

"Amazing." Kiyo said.

"Beautiful even." Lucas said.

"THIS is Olympus…?" Sora asked amazed.

"Gawrsh…" Goofy said.

"I can just stare at it and never leave." Ken said.

Just then something occurs.

"The fanfare?" Donald asked.

"Nope! Them!" Ky said as a group of Heartless that look like satyrs appear and they're in rows.

"Here we go again." Shadow said.

(Battle Theme: Road to Hero)

The Satyr Heartless begin charging at the group.

"Guys, get behind me and Maxi!" Goofy said and the others do get behind Goofy and Max with their shields in front.

"Dad!" Max said.

"Yep, let's go, son!" Goofy said.

As the Satyr Heartless charge at the group Goofy and Max block with their shields and they charge back at the Heartless while Donald, Elena, Ken, and Blaze cover their shields with flames and later Goofy and Max deliver a very powerful charge at the rows of Heartless separating them.

"It worked!" Tails said.

"Now we can fight for real!" Murray said.

The Satyr Heartless charge at the group but Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by entering his Second Form and delivers stronger slashes while unleashing light chains and orbs of light while Noel triple slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by casting Fire and then enters her Second Form and delivers powerful slashes while unleashing light and dark shots while Sora vertical slashes with Kingdom Key and then enters his Second Form and delivers powerful slashes while unleashing a powerful ripple strike and then Ky uses Holy Blade while Noel uses Pure Dive while Sora uses Sonic Blade and they finish off every Satyr Heartless.

"That was annoying." Shadow said.

"Where's Herc?" Noel asked.

"Probably at the top." Donald said.

"We gotta get to him and put an end to Hades' plans." Sly said.

(Field Theme: Olympus)

(Realm of Gods-Courtyard)

(Information: Head to the very top of the Realm of Gods!)

The group begin making their way through the Realm of Gods to find Hercules but then they see many Harpy Black Xetis and Air Soldier Heartless but the group defeat them and continue to move but then they see two giant Earth Core Heartless in sand form and attack but Murray gets into his Aboriginal ball form and Ky sends him into one of the Earth Core and Murray attacks from the inside while Sora gets on Goofy's shield and Goofy launches them and then Sora throws Goofy into the other Earth Core and Goofy attacks from the inside and they're destroyed and they continue to move.

(Realm of Gods-Corridors)

The group arrive at the corridors area of the Realm of Gods and they keep moving through while fighting off more Black Xetis and Heartless in their way and they keep climbing their way up and they later find what looks like a really tall building.

"There's our way up." Sora said.

"But how can we get up there?" Donald asked.

"I won't be able to fly us all the way up." Tails said.

"Hmm, Fulgur, can you fly us up?" Ky asked.

"Millia, can you?" Noel asked and the companions nods.

"Perfect!" Ky said.

"Here we go." Elena said as they get on Fulgur and Millia.

Fulgur and Millia begin flying the group up to reach the tall building and they fly up to reach the other tall building and they find another tall building and go for it taking them to the top.

(Realm of Gods-Apex)

The group arrive at the top of the realm but they see something beyond the gate and they find three more Titans which are made of ice, lava, and wind and someone is trapped in a pillar made of molten rock and ice.

"Oh, no!" Ky said.

"We're too late." Lucas said.

"Not if we have anything to say in the matter. C'mon." Sora said as they hurry for the gate.

Meanwhile Hercules is riding on Pegasus who is flying for the top while defeating Air Soldier Heartless and Harpy Black Xetis.

Meanwhile beyond the gate someone is being trapped in a pillar made of molten rock and lava by two Titans and it's an orange man wearing purple robes and white hair and beard while Hades is watching.

"I swear to you, Hades! When I get of thi…" The man was cut off as he's covered in the pillar.

"Nope. I'll be giving the orders now, Bolt boy!" Hades said as he makes a black throne and sits on it.

"Don't get too comfortable, Hades!" A voice said and Hades sees Hercules flying in.

"We're gonna stop you!" Sora said as he and the others arrive.

"We kicked your ass once and we'll do it again!" Ky said.

Hercules flies in and uses his sword to destroy the chains trapping the other gods making Hades enraged as he turns red.

"GET THEM!" Hades shouted as both Ice Titan and Lava Titan confront the group.

"Now, we've got more than one Titan…" Noel said.

"Sora, Ky, Noel, everyone!" Hercules said as he joins the group.

"Perfect. Let's kick some Titan ass!" Ken said.

"Yeah, it's on!" Hercules said.

(Boss Theme: Titanic Clash)

The group prepare to fight both Ice Titan and Lava Titan but Wind Titan blows the group away allowing the two Titans to unleash their respective elements with Ice Titan breathing ice while Lava Titan breathes lava but the group manage to recover and go for the Titans again but Ice Titan unleashes ice needles and throws them while Lava Titan unleashes lava balls but Ky, Noel, and Sora climb up the molten lava and ice pillar and confront the two Titans and Ky casts Fire at the Ice Titan while Noel slashes with Element of Peace and then enters Enigma Element form and uses her enigma to unleash fire and earth to strike at Ice Titan who retaliates with breathing ice but Sora aerial slashes with Kingdom Key followed by casting Fire while Donald casts Thunder while Hercules creates aura on his fist and delivers a powerful aura punch but Ice Titan unleashes ice needles while Lava Titan unleashes lava balls at the group but Elena casts a magic barrier and then casts Water at the Lava Titan and then casts Fire at Ice Titan while Tails shoots lasers from his blaster while Goofy uses Goofy Discus but Ice Titan tries to freeze the group but Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Lucas uses PK Fire while Lucky uses Ground Pound but Lava Titan breathes lava while Ice Titan unleashes ice spikes but Blaze uses Fire Tornado while Murray uses Fire Punch but Ice Titan rains down ice balls on the group while Lava Titan rains down lava balls but Storm uses Iron Tail while Grace uses Growl while T.J. dash slashes with his knife but Lava Titan breathes lava while Ice Titan breathes ice but Ken unleashes magic music waves and then casts Aero while Max uses Shield Boomerang while Bentley throws fire and ice bombs but Ice Titan rains down ice balls while Lava Titan deliver lava swipes but Sly uses Cane Jump while Shadow uses Chaos Spears but the Titans keep attacking with ice and lava but Ky, Noel, and Sora lock onto the Titans and Ky unleashes light blades while Noel unleashes light and dark orbs while Sora uses Ragnarok and they finish off the two Titans who are now stunned.

"Whew, that's three Titans down, yeah?" Ky asked.

"Yep, now there's just one more." Sora said looking at Wind Titan who covers the whole realm with massive whirlwinds.

Wind Titan confronts the group.

"Guys, get ready!" Hercules said and they nod.

(Information: Defeat Wind Titan!)

Wind Titan moves all over and then fires ruined buildings at the group but Ky unleashes a light barrier to block the ruined buildings sending them right back at Wind Titan for damage and then the group go for the Titan and try to attack it from its bottom part but Wind Titan sucks up Ky, Noel, and Sora into it.

"Ky! Noel!" Elena cried.

"Sora!" Donald and Goofy cried.

Ky, Noel, and Sora are sent out of Wind Titan and they start diving down at the Titan who is shooting lava balls, ice needles, and ruined buildings but they dodge the lava balls, ice needles, and ruined buildings and Ky, Noel, and Sora deliver a diving strike dealing great damage at Wind Titan and just then Fulgur and Millia come flying in and Ky and Sora get on Fulgur while Noel gets on Millia and the two companions flying around the massive whirlwind as Wind Titan starts firing ruined buildings but Ky, Noel, and Sora lock onto a floating ruin and airstep to it to avoid the firing ruined building and after the firing stops Ky slashes with Dawn of followed by a rising slash while Fulgur attacks with his claws while Sora triple slashes with Kingdom Key followed by a vertical slash while Noel diagonal slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by casting Fire while Millia delivers a winged attack but Wind Titan sinks away and goes for Lava Titan and uses its power to unleash lava to strike but Fulgur and Millia go for a floating ruin to avoid the lava and Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a somersault slash while Noel spin slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by a flipping slash while Sora horizontal slashes with Kingdom Key followed by an upper slash but Wind Titan sinks away and goes for Ice Titan and uses its power to unleash multiple ice needles but Fulgur and Millia go for another floating ruin and they avoid the ice needles and Sora casts Fire followed by slashing with Kingdom Key while Noel vertical slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by casting Water while Ky delivers four slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a roundhouse slash but Wind Titan sinks away and tries to fire more ruined buildings but Ky, Noel, and Sora go for the Titan and they deliver strikes with their Keyblades while Fulgur and Millia attack and they finish off Wind Titan.

The three Titans recover from the attacks and just then Rock Titan emerges and reaches Realm of Gods.

"You've got to be kidding." Kiyo said.

"Uh-oh! Now it's all four of 'em!" Goofy said.

"Hmph! There's no strength in numbers!" Shadow said.

"Yeah, I mean, we're more than four." Elena said.

"If we're able to handle to them, then we can keep at it." Ky said.

"Actually, I think I can add one more." Hercules said as he goes up the pillar and cracks open the top of the pillar freeing Zeus.

"NO!" Hades shouted.

"Thank you, my boy! Now, watch your old man work!" Zeus said throwing lightning bolts at the Titans making them leave.

Hercules then uses Wind Titan to catch the three Titans into it and then throws Tornado Titan as well as the other Titans into space and all the Titans explode.

"And they're outta here!" Sora cheered.

"So much for Hades' plan." Ky said.

"ARGH! I can't believe it! I put EIGHTEEN years into that plan and your blimpin' ruined it! I REALLY hate you all!" Hades yelled.

"Look, Hades, you know you're always destined to fail time and time again." Ky said.

"Yeah, just give it up already. No matter how many times you try, you'll never beat Herc." Sora said.

"Just stay in the Underworld where you belong." Goofy said.

"Go have the time of your afterlife." Donald said.

"Yeah, Blue flame. Piss off! You're done." Ken said.

"ENOUGH already! I did not come this far to be ridiculed but Zeusy high and mighty, his little sunspot, and a band of clowns! You know what, I'll just destroy you!" Hades yelled.

"Heh, still haven't learned your lesson?" Ky asked.

"It's pointless. You can't defeat us." Noel said.

"Quiet! I've had it with you ruining my plans and it's about time you're going down UNDER!" Hades shouted.

"Herc?" Sora asked.

"Let's teach Hades one more lesson." Hercules said.

"I'll provide help, young ones!" Zeus said.

"Herc, you're sure you wanna leave all this behind?" Sora asked.

"Isn't Olympus your true home?" Noel asked.

"And your family?" Donald asked.

"I can see my family anytime I want. If I stayed, I'd have to be apart from the one I love most and that life would be empty." Hercules said and they see Meg waiting at the stairs. "I know now where I belong." Hercules said running to Meg.

"Hercules!" Meg said as the two hug.

"How touching…" Ky said.

"Yeah." Elena said as they hold hands but they notice and they let go blushing.

"Sora, we never got back to your question. Can I help?" Hercules asked.

"Wait, huh?" Ky asked.

"It's okay. I think I'm meant to figure it out for myself. I'll find my strength. The same way you found yours. Something to fight for…with all my heart. I guess you DID have the answer." Sora said.

"Well, you've got heart, Sora. Same to you, Ky and Noel. Just keep at it and I know you'll all be stronger than ever." Hercules said.

"Thanks, Herc." Ky said.

"Yeah, and we'll end up stronger than YOU." Sora said.

"There he goes again…" Donald said and everyone laughs.

Meanwhile at the gardens of Thebes digging is happening and it's Pete, Roy, Morton, Zomnom, and Zazz digging for something.

"Are you guys sure this box with the Book of Prophecies is for reals?" Pete asked.

"Good question. We couldn't find it in Ba Sing Se. So, what makes you guys think it'll be here?" Morton asked.

"I think that dingbat in black was pullin' your legs." Pete said.

"Oh, shut up and dig, you morons!" Bowser Jr. yelled.

"We must find that Book of Prophecies and make it our own." Maleficent said.

"Indeed. His was the only clue we had. We are not dismissing it without a thorough investigation." The Horned King said.

"So, stop whining and keep digging!" Eggman ordered.

"My arms are tired…" Zomnom said.

"So are mine." Roy said.

"This is pointless. We'll never find the box. Let's just quit and leave." Zor said.

"Look, I'm just sayin' a shot in the dark ain't gonna get us any closer to…" Pete was cut off.

"Hey, I found somethin'!" Zazz said.

"You have, Zazz?" Zavok asked.

"What is it?" Ludwig asked.

"Show it to us at once, fool!" Maleficent said.

Zazz takes out what looks like a tiny black box with a skull.

"This has gotta be it! It has to be this Pandora's Box Hades mentioned!" Zazz said.

"Is that…really what the box looks like?" Porky asked.

"Leave it." Maleficent said.

"Awww…" Zazz whined.

"After all that digging?" Roy asked.

"All that digging really made me hungry." Zomnom said.

"Are you certain, Maleficent?" Nightmare asked.

"That is not the box we desire." Maleficent said.

"What a rip! Now what?" Bowser Jr. asked.

"Hmm, perhaps there is a world I have heard of. It is a world, where knights wield magic powers through tomes." The Horned King said.

"Really? Then that's where we're going next." Maleficent said.

"Fine by me. Let's go, idiots." Bowser Jr. said as they go through a dark corridor.

Unknowing to them Xigbar is watching them.

"May your hear…" Xigbar was cut off as he sees someone appearing behind him.


Meanwhile in the Dark World on the Heartless side of it two figures are walking down the realm's path and they're Riku and Mickey in their new clothes.

Riku is now wearing a white V-neck shirt with a black short-sleeved opened hooded shirt with black and white checkered designs, dark blue pants with black rings, black belt, and black short boots, and black fingerless gloves.

Mickey is now wearing a black and red shirt with a black short-sleeved open shirt with a hood that matches his ears, red pants, black and yellow shoes, and still has his white gloves.

The two keep moving but Riku stops.

"What's wrong, Riku? Are you tired? Do ya need a break? We can stop." Mickey said.

"No, it's just…I've been here. I should know this place. But that all seems like another life." Riku said.

"Well, gee. Think of all you've seen. All the feelings you've felt. Why, you've done years of growin' in almost no time at all." Mickey said.

"I remember my first time here. I was so scared. Now, my doubts and fears are gone. If anything, I feel exhilarated. It's not because there's darkness in me…I know too well what that rush is like. This is different. It's not adrenaline either. I know Aqua needs us….but I'm ready. I'm in control now. Maybe it's because you're with me this time." Riku said but Mickey shakes his head.

"It's not me. I think it's because you've finally found inside you that special strength to protect what matters." Mickey asked.

"What?" Riku asked.

"Sometimes, you care so much for somebody that other feelings disappear. Then there's no room for fear or doubt." Mickey said.

"Is that it?" Riku asked looking at his hand and then flash occurs when he was five and he met a young man with a Keyblade. "'Strength to protect what matters'… It reminds me of a promise I made." Riku said.

"To who?" Mickey asked.

"Just someone I once met. Can't tell." Riku said.

"Sounds like a good memory." Mickey said.

"Yeah… While we're reminiscing…Mickey, does any of this look familiar?" Riku asked.

"Sorta, but the Realm of Darkness has changed since I was here with Aqua." Mickey said.

"Yeah, it's different from what I remember." Riku said.

"Usually, I just follow my heart, and Aqua would show me the way. The closer I get, the hazier our connection feels." Mickey said.

"You mean…" Riku stops talking.

"Maybe, but we can't give up hope." Mickey said.

"Yeah." Riku said.

The two keep going through the Realm of Darkness and later they arrive at the Dark Margin.

"This beach…" Riku said.

"It's gone. I'm positive Aqua was here, but now…her trail's gone dim." Mickey said.

"I've been here too, with Sora. Ky, Noel, Pax, and Nex also ended up here after they defeated Malus' Nobody and Narasix." Riku said.

"Really?" Mickey asked.

"Yeah, this is where we found our way back to the Realm of Light. Hey, maybe Aqua did too." Riku said.

"No…Aqua has fallen into an even darker abyss, somewhere I can't see her. I don't think we're equipped to dive any deeper than we already are." Mickey said.

"So then…" Riku stops talking and just then many Shadow Heartless appear around the two.

"Oh, no!" Mickey said summoning Kingdom Key D while Riku summons Way to Dawn. "Riku, be careful. Even the least threatening Heartless are stronger in this realm." Mickey said.

"I got it." Riku said.

The Shadows fuse together and become a giant looming tower known as Demon Tower.

(Boss Theme: Hunter of the Dark)

(Information: Team up with Mickey and defeat Demon Tower!)

Demon Tower charges at the two but Riku summons a dark barrier and then slashes with Way to Dawn followed by casting Dark Fire while Mickey slashes with Kingdom Key D followed by summoning Pearl but Demon Tower moves around while sending out Shadows to attack but the two dodge it and Riku keeps attacking with Way to Dawn followed by a somersault slash and he and Mickey join together and deliver powerful slashes with their Keyblades but Demon Tower moves around and delivers a slamming strike down at the two but they dodge and Mickey double slashes with Kingdom Key D while Riku triple slashes with Way to Dawn followed by a somersault slash but Demon Tower sends out more Shadows to attack but Riku and Mickey combine their efforts and keep attacking Demon Tower with their Keyblades but Demon Tower slams itself at the two but Riku uses his dark barrier and they both deliver a counter strike.

Meanwhile Pax, Oswald, Sonic, Peach, and Mario arrive at the Heartless side of the Realm of Darkness.

"We're here." Pax said.

"Finally." Sonic said.

"Riku and Mickey should be here somewhere." Peach said.

Just then they hear noises.

"What's that?" Oswald asked.

"Sounds like fighting. Let's go see." Pax said as they start moving.

Back at the Dark Margin the Demon Tower keeps attacking Riku and Mickey who dodge and try to attack back but Demon Tower keeps attacking but as it attacks something strikes and it's a white lightning bolt.

"Huh?" Riku asked.

"What…?" Mickey asked and they turn to see Pax, Oswald, Sonic, Peach, and Mario arriving.

"We're here!" Pax said.

"Pax!" Riku said.

"Oswald!" Mickey said.

"Don't worry. We're here and we'll beat it together." Oswald said.

"Okay! Let's go!" Riku said.

Demon Tower charges at the group who dodge and Pax slashes with Path to Justice followed by transforming his Keyblade into dual katanas and slashes with them while Riku slashes with Way to Dawn followed by casting Dark Fire but Demon Tower slams itself at the group but Peach quickly casts a heart barrier and then delivers a counter strike with Royal Storm while Mario shoots fireballs while Sonic delivers fast slashes with Super Sonic but Demon Tower sends Shadows to attack but Oswald casts Pearls from his staff at the Shadows and then slashes at Demon Tower with his sword while Mickey slashes with Kingdom Key D but Demon Tower keeps moving and charges at the group to attack but Pax combines Water magic with Tai Chi style and delivers a powerful water strike while Riku vertical slashes with Way to Dawn but Demon Tower charges at the group and slams itself at the seven but they combine their efforts with Pax combining his magical elements while Riku unleashes Dark Fire while Mickey and Oswald unleash their Pearls while Peach unleashes blossoms and hearts while Sonic dashes all over while Mario unleashes dragon fireballs and they do excellent damage on Demon Tower.

Demon Tower splits apart and more Shadows appear.

"Ugh, more keep coming." Sonic said.

"Be careful, everybody!" Mickey said.

Just then Demon Tower appears behind Pax.

"Pax, look out!" Riku yelled pushing Pax out of the way allowing Demon Tower to get Riku.

"RIKU!" Pax shouted running at Demon Tower but the Shadows block the way. "Move it!" Pax yelled striking the Shadows.

Inside Demon Tower in what looks like a dark watery area Riku is trapped.

"Didn't expect to see you again…" A voice said.

"What…?" Riku asked.

"Why did you even come here?" The voice asked.

"Because somebody needs me." Riku said.

"Do you want some help?" The voice asked.

"Who are you?" Riku asked.

"Me? I'm…" The voice stops talking.

"Riku…" A voice said.

"Riku…" Another voice said.

"Please wake up." Another voice said.

Riku opens his eyes and Pax, Mickey, Oswald, Sonic, Peach, and Mario watch over him.

"Oh, thank God you're okay." Pax said.

"Where'd the Heartless go?" Riku asked.

"After you were swallowed, I tried to help, but the Shadows got in my way, so me, Oswald, Sonic, Peach, and Mario got rid of the ones in our way." Pax said.

"And I got more than half of 'em and the rest vanished. They spit you out first." Mickey said.

"Thanks. I owe you guys." Riku said.

"Actually, I should be thanking you. You saved me from being swallowed. Wish I helped more." Pax said.

"I know you feel invincible, but we're not." Mickey said.

"Those Heartless and Black Xetis sure like to make things very harder." Sonic said.

"Are you guys okay?" Riku asked.

"Yeah, thanks to the new gear." Mickey said.

"They really come in handy." Peach said and Mario nods.

"Um, Riku, you're Keyblade…" Pax stops talking.

"Huh?" Riku asked looking at Way to Dawn that's now broken.

"The Heartless here are stronger than what we expected. I guess we should've powered up our Keyblades before we came in here." Mickey said.

"How's yours, Pax?" Riku asked.

"Fine, actually." Pax said showing Path to Justice a little dented but fine. "Some Master I am, huh?" Pax asked.

"Don't say that." Riku said.

"I think we should all go back to Master Yen Sid so we can regroup." Mickey said.

"But Aqua's…still down here, alone. Facing enemies like that." Riku said.

"You mean you haven't found Aqua yet?" Pax asked.

"No. Her trail apparently ended in this place. What if she's feeling as scared and alone…as I felt the first time I came here? How long are we supposed to keep her waiting in this awful place?" Riku asked.

"I can ask the same thing about Jin." Pax said shocking Mickey.

"You're looking for Jin?" Mickey asked.

"Yeah." Oswald said.

"Is he one of the missing Keyblade wielders?" Riku asked.

"Yeah. We first tried to find him on the Black Xetis' side of this realm, but his trail ended, but Nex told us he'd probably be here, but I guess no luck. What if Jin is like Aqua and is feeling the same you felt?" Pax asked.

"Guys, don't worry. Jin's like Ky and Noel." Mickey said.

"How?" Oswald asked.

"Strength wise." Mickey said.

"Ahh." Oswald said.

"And Aqua…she's like Sora." Mickey said.

"Whaaat?!" Riku asked shocked.

"No, no, no. STRONG like Sora." Mickey said.

"Oh, well, then good." Riku said.

"We can't relax yet, though. I just hope we'll find them soon." Pax said.

"We will. Don't worry. Besides, Sora, Ky, and Noel can fall into any darkness and swim their way out." Riku said.

"I guess you're right." Pax said.

"We won't be long." Mickey said.

"Right." Riku said as he thrusts the broken Way to Dawn onto the sandy ground.

"Riku?" Pax asked.

"Can't use THIS Keyblade anymore. Might as well leave it here…for the other me." Riku said.

"Other…you?" Pax asked confused.

"Well, we'd better get going to Yen Sid." Peach said and Mario nods and the seven start to leave the Realm of Darkness.
