Chapter 16: Stop VermTech!

It's now nighttime in the woods and everyone gathers for the next heist plan.

"Okay, gang. This oughta be a cinch." R.J. said.

"Even though we've dealt with complicated stuff in the plans, like crashing the train." Tails said.

"Yeah, why not a boat this time?" Verne asked.

"Argh, matey!" Hammy said wearing a pirate hat.

"Very funny, squirrel boy." Ken said.

"Can we let the two-tailed fox and the jet turtle speak please?" Stella asked.

"Thank you, Stella." Bentley said.

"Now, then..." Tails activates the device showing a different house. "Our next destination, the Conners'. We need to get through the backdoor." Tails said.

"So, we'll be able to cross the yard without dying or fighting any more Black Xetis and Heartless?" Verne asked.

"That we can't promise, considering we don't control when and where they'll show up." Bentley said.

"Look, our first part is leaving the hedge and heading for the street and to make sure it's not like last time, we're gonna have to go down the sewer." Tails said.

"NOT the sewer!" Donald yelled.

"Yay, sewers. We'll smell like Stella!" Hammy said.

"WHAT did you say?!" Stella demanded.

"Something, something, yay!" Hammy said.

"Once we're in the sewer, we'll take a sharp turn through and find the ladder taking us to the next yard, where we should find the backdoor." Tails said.

"Shouldn't be a problem. Everyone ready?" Ky asked.

(First Yard-Lawn)

The group leave the hedge and arrive at the lawn.

"Okay, first yard, check. Now, we need to get to the sewer without getting caught." Bentley said.

The group start moving through the lawn while dodging security systems but then something goes off and it's Tails techno map.

"Oh, no!" Tails said.

"What's up?" Sora asked.

"The Exterminator's around here somewhere! And what's worse Penny's kids are at the same place!" Tails said.

"THIS again?" Ken asked.

"We'd better help them." Noel said but lasers appear.

"Not now." Elena said.

"Jump and dodge!" Sly said as they dodge the lasers and later Storm deactivates them.

"That'll show the lasers who the real trespassers are." Hammy said.

"Can we please...?" Shadow was cut off as Bouncywild Heartless appear.

"We need to get rid of these Heartless!" Max said.

The Bouncywild Heartless fire shots from their slingshots and dash around but Hammy dashes after them and strikes with his stick while Storm uses Volt Tackle while Bentley throws bombs but the Bouncywild Heartless throw banana peels on the ground and dash around but Shadow uses Chaos Control to slow down time and then throws Chaos Lances while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Ken casts Earth followed by casting Water but the Bouncywild Heartless keep firing shots from their slingshots but Goofy uses Goofy Turbo while Grace uses Tackle while Murray uses Turbo Charge but the Bouncywild Heartless throw banana peels on the ground but Lucas uses PK Freeze while Elena shoots Blizzard magic coated magic bolts while Donald casts Fire followed by casting Aero while Stella unleashes stink but the Bouncywild Heartless continue to fire shots from their slingshots but R.J. swings his golfclub while Verne shell bashes while T.J. dash slashes with his knife while Max uses Shield Missile but the Bouncywild Heartless throw banana peels on the ground but Lucky uses Egg Roll while Tails shoots lasers from his blaster while Sly uses Dive Attack while Blaze uses Fire Drill but the Bouncywild Heartless keep shooting shots but Sora casts Puppet to make the Heartless attack each other while Noel casts Blizzard while Ky casts Magma and they defeat the Heartless.

After the fight the gate opens and at the front yard the Exterminator starts sniffing.

"More vermin! And it's also those weird looking vermin!" The Exterminator said pressing a button making lasers activate. "That oughta do it! Or should I say; the 'laser'! Hehehehe!" The Exterminator said running off.

The group keep moving through the lawn and go through the opened gate and come across the lasers but they dodge the lasers and make it for the front yard where they find the Exterminator and with him are Spike, Quillo, and Bucky in three cages and Lou is also in a cage.

"Well, well, well, one, two, and three of you little rodents and your daddy's in too! This is what we in the vermin-taunting business call hitting the jackpot!" The Exterminator said.

"Now, don't worry, kids. Everything's under control." Lou said.

"Dad, I'm scared!" Spike said.

"That bastard!" Ky yelled running at the cages.

"Ky, wait!" Verne called.

Ky charges at the Exterminator.

"Well, well, well, look who decided to..." The Exterminator was cut off as Ky delivers a powerful strike at the Exterminator knocking him out.

"That'll teach you to mess with my friends, stupid asshole!" Ky yelled as he destroys the cages freeing Lou and the kids.

"Oh, thank you so much, Ky!" Lou said.

"You're awesome, Ky! I wanna be like you when I grow up!" Spike said.

"Nuh-uh! I wanna be like Ky!" Quillo yelled.

"No, I wanna!" Bucky yelled.

"Kids, settle down! You three can be who you wanna be, just don't fight." Ky said.

"Thank God you handled that." Elena said.

"Lou, you the kids should head on back to the hedge." Goofy said.

"That we will. Good luck and be careful." Lou said.

"Tails, Bentley, the sewer's near here, right?" Blaze asked.

"Yes, our maps should determine the location." Bentley said.

"I say we should navigate through toxic airless passages." Hammy said.

"You have a funny definition of safety, Hamster." R.J. said.

Just then the Exterminator gets up.

"YOU! You're gonna pay for that, vermin! When I take you back to VermTech, I've got some nice hats for you and you'll be nice little soulless automat..." The Exterminator was cut off as Storm gets on his head and unleashes electricity shocking him and he's fried and knocked out again.

"Nice, Storm!" Ky said high-fiving Storm.

"Pikachu!" Storm cheered.

"C'mon, sewer, now before he gets up again." Elena said as they go for the sewer.

(Sewer-Sewage Passage)

The group are now in the sewer.

"UGH, of all places, why the sewers! It smells BAD!" Donald said.

"Stop your whining and let's find a way outta here." Sora said.

"Tails, Bentley, we're countin' on your brains to get outta this." Stella said.

"Don't worry, we got this." Tails said.

The group start moving the sewers while fighting of brainwashed rats in their way and they arrive at the next part of the sewer full of lasers but they avoid the lasers and they arrive at the next part of the sewer.

(Sewer-Sewage Passage 2)

The group arrive at the second passage of the sewer and they find a big center part but then Powerwilds appear and attack but the group quickly defeat them and keep going and they later find a ladder.

"There's our ticket out of here." Tails said.

"Climb on up and we're out." Bentley said.

"Thank you." Donald said as they starting climbing up the ladder taking them out of the sewer.

(Second Yard-Conners' Yard)

The group leave the sewers and arrive at the next yard where brainwashed gophers arrive and attack but the group fight back and defeat them but then something rises from underground and it's a mole holding a bomb.

"Great, just what we need, a mole." Lucas said.

"And a bomb." Bentley said.

"Aww, we didn't get him anything." Hammy said.

The moles rise from underground and set off bombs at the group but Ky casts Earth to make them come out allowing the others to attack the moles and they later defeat them and they continue through the yard while sneaking past motion-sensors on the ground and they reach the backdoor.

"Here are, the backdoor." Tails said.

"You wouldn't to happen to know on how to get in" R.J. said.

"Don't we always?" Bentley said as he goes for a window and opens it.

"Simple as that." Tails said.

"Now, let's get started." Sora said as they enter through the window.

(Conner House-Living Room)

The group are now in the house.

"Wow, this place is bigger than I thought." Verne said.

"I know! Humans are such miracle workers!" Hammy said.

"Hey, shut the hell up!" Ken said.

Grace looks around and finds sleeping dogs.

"This is a challenge..." Noel said.

"Uh, did you mention sleeping dogs?" Zatch asked.

"No..." Tails said.

"We'll do what I do best, sneak past them." Sly said.

"Easy." Sora said grinning.

"You say everything's easy." Donald said.

The group start sneaking past sleeping dogs and arrive at the hallways full of lasers but Ky, Noel, and Sora find a way into the kitchen and they use air step to get past the lasers and enter the kitchen.

(Conner House-Kitchen)

The group are now in the kitchen full of motion-sensors and a locked door and so Ky, Noel, and Sora use their Keyblades to unlock the door and into the pantry and they find another box.

"Hammy." Tails said.

"Yay, fun time!" Hammy said as he presses the light buttons on the box and the motion-sensors turn off.

The group then find Penny.

"Thank jeepers you fellas disarmed the systems. Did you happen to see those cute doggie fellas? I should have 'em in my pouch, take them home, and have them bronzed." Penny said.

"Yeah, but we got even cuter ones on our side." Elena said.

"Anyway, as usual, we'll take the food and give send 'em to the wagon." Ky said.

Just then Heather arrives.

"What's up, Heather?" Sora asked.

"Sorry to interrupt, guys, but you might wanna hurry. Those sweet little nightmares scuttled upstairs and it sounds like they're yipping to wake the dead." Heather said.

"Oh, crap..." Ken said.

"Better make it quick..." Noel said.

The group start throwing food to Penny who throws them into the wagon and they keep giving more food to Penny who keeps giving them into the wagon and later the wagon is full of food.

"That should be it." Kiyo said.

"Now let's go before those shaved rats show up." Donald said.

The group are about to leave the house but Hammy finds a bag of chips and Verne finds the dogs still sleeping and the group shake their heads at Hammy not to eat a chip but Hammy eats one resulting in the dogs waking up.

"Is this where we run?" Murray asked.

"No, this is where we play with the mutts." Ken said as they leave the house but the dogs chase after them.

The group back outside and they find Ozzie with the wagon.

"You're just in time. I have an urgent announcement to make; they're are a couple of loose chilhuahuas running around." Ozzie said.

"Never mind them. Just focus on getting that wagon back to the hedge." Ky said.

(Information: Protect Ozzie and the wagon!)

Ozzie starts pulling the wagon while the group fight off enemies to protect Ozzie and the wagon and they keep going through the yard but Black Xetis and Heartless appear making Ozzie play dead but the group defeat the Black Xetis and the Heartless and they reach the end of the yard but then they hear dogs barking.

"Just how annoying can a mutt get?" Ken asked.

"Eevee..." Grace said shaking his head.

"Shuddup, mutt!" Ken yelled.

Ozzie crosses the street but then a car drives by.

"We'll be okay, as long as Ozzie..." Blaze was cut off.

"Um, WHERE is Ozzie?" T.J. asked but then they see a car coming for Ozzie.

"OZZIE!" Noel shouted but a crash is heard.

"Oh, no..." Kiyo said as food flies and lands on the ground.

The group run for Ozzie who gets up.

"Your concern was touching, but unwarranted. Human diesel technology was no match for the instincts of a possum and won't be for many decades." Ozzie said.

"Well, at least he's okay. Now, we have to get all that food again." Shadow said.

"Ozzie, take that wagon to a different yard and stay out of the street this time. It'll save us some time and lives." R.J. said.

The group start gathering the food again and bring it to the wagon.

"That's enough food. Now let's go and no accidents this time." Elena said.

"This better be the LAST food heist." Donald said.

"Depends. Now back to the hedge." Tails said as they make their way out.

The group arrive back at the woods and they find Lou and Penny.

"Jeepers, we've been worried sick." Lou said.

"What happened?" Noel asked and they see Vincent with Spike, Bucky, and Quillo watching on the projector.

"Sounds like Vincent's making himself at home already." Sly said.

"He ain't such a bad guy after all." Goofy said.

"He's kinda like a giant teddy bear, with anger issues." R.J. said.

"Well, after that fiasco, time to rest up." Ken said.

"Actually, we gotta hit the amusement park while it's closed." R.J. said.

"Seriously? Amusement park?" Elena asked.

"AGAIN?" Stella asked.

"When we were dealing with that stupid shooting gallery and that stupid dog?" Shadow asked.

"Why're we going there now?" Tails asked.

"The cotton candy machine, Tails. Now, let's go." R.J. said.

"Cotton candy, Tails." Tails said.

"Seduce a cat, Stella..." Stella said.

"Excuse us for missing the obvious." Bentley said.

"Uh, let's just get ready for this cotton candy heist." Ky said.

"It better be worth it." Kiyo said.

The group leave the hedge and arrive at the amusement park's mini-golf course and they see someone and it's Eggman.

"Eggman!" Tails said.

"What's HE doing here?" Shadow asked.

"Prob'ly to find that black box they said." Goofy said.

"Egghead! WHERE'S that stupid box?!" A voice asked and it's Bowser Jr.

"Will you shut up?! I'm still searching for it! I don't why it would be in this stupid park." Eggman said.

"Keep looking! I want it found YESTERDAY!" Bowser Jr. yelled.

"Argh! I knew he should've just gone to that blasted magic knight world! There's nothing interesting here!" Eggman said leaving.

"All clear." R.J. said.

"Let's move!" Ky said.

(Amusement Park-Mini-Golf Course)

The group arrive at the mini-golf course and they look up to see a roller coaster.

"Wow, a roller coaster!" Zatch said.

"If they really wanted to make it scary, they shoulda added skunk spray." Stella said.

"It'd better be worth it after climbin' and gettin' that damn machine." Ken said.

The group start moving through the mini-golf course but then they see Bouncywild Heartless appearing outside the saloon.

"Already the Heartless are here." Sora said.

"You know what to do." Lucas said.

The Bouncywild Heartless fire shots from their slingshots but Ky, Noel, and Sora throw their Keyblades while Elena shoots magic bolts while Ken shoots magic music notes while Donald casts Fire while Goofy and Max throw their shields while Tails shoots lasers from his blaster while Blaze shoots fireballs while Shadow throws Chaos Arrows while Storm shoots electric shots while Kiyo has Zatch shoot small lightning bolts while Lucky throws eggs while T.J. throws knives while Bentley throws bombs while Murray picks up barrels and throws them while Lucas uses PK Thunder while R.J. shoots a golfball while Verne shoots a hockey puck while Hammy throws a boomerang while Stella throws a frisbe and they defeat the Bouncywild Heartless.

The group continue going through the mini-golf course while fighting off razor barrels, avoiding traps, and defeating brainwashed animals in their way and they come across TNT barrels blocking the way and so they destroy it and continue to move hole after hole and they find a gate blocking the way.

"Is there a switch for the gate somewhere?" T.J. asked.

"Forget it. I'm using the crane." Elena said casting a spell to make the crane move and strikes the gate. "Now, we can move." Elena said.

The group go through the gate and move onto the next hole but they come across two brainwashed badgers and Powerwilds but the group manage to defeat them and avoid sleeping gas in the way and continue to climb up the mini-golf course but then the door closes and Speedwilds appear and use their speed to attack but Ky gives Hammy soda resulting in him slowing down time on the Heartless and then Hammy dashes all over the Heartless and strikes and all the Heartless are defeated and the group continue forward and keep climbing to the upper part of the course and later they find a mine cart blocking the path.

"This is a problem." Shadow said.

"Leave it to 'The Murray'!" Murray said as he gets behind the mine cart and pushes it down.

"Way to go, as usual, big guy." Sly said.

"Now, let's skedaddle to that roller coaster." Stella said.

"Skedaddlin'." Goofy said.

The group make their way for the roller coaster but then they hear a voice.

"Ugh, I HATE this world! There's nothing worth looking into!" The voice said and it's Eggman said.

"Guys, wanna mess with Egghead for a bit?" Ky asked.

"Are you sure...?" Noel asked.

"After the trouble he's caused us, he deserves it." Tails said.

Eggman continues searching but then he finds the group.

"What's this?! No, impossible! It's YOU!" Eggman yelled.

"Yeah, nice to see you too, Egghead!" Elena said.

"Just my luck. Here I am looking for the black box and I've found you!" Eggman said taking out a wrench and tries to attack but they dodge.

Verne then bites Eggman's leg.

"UGH, YOU FILTHY REPTILE!" Eggman shouted but Tails delivers a fling kick sending the doctor down. "You fools! You stupid fools! I'll find you!" Eggman yelled while on a roller coaster car.

"What a maroon." R.J. said.

"You said it." Tails said.

"Let's keep moving." Donald said.

(Amusement Park-Roller Coaster Tracks)

The group are now on the roller coaster tracks.

"I can't believe how HIGH up we are!" Zatch said.

"I know, I don't wanna fall." Max said.

"We'll be fine as long as we don't screw up." Sora said.

"Pika!" Storm said pointing at electric floors.

"Electrified tracks?" Lucas asked.

"Has the Exterminator lost his damn mind?" Ken asked.

"He's trying to pull out all the stops to kill us." T.J. said.

The group start moving through the roller coaster tracks while reaching the high part of the tracks but they come across what looks like a weasel carrying a shock prod.

"Um, please tell me you're not brainwashed...?" Noel asked.

"Doubt it. It is." Verne said.

"And it has a shock prod, making things worse." Tails said.

The weasels attack with their shock prods but the group quickly defeat them and keep moving through the tracks while dealing with more brainwashed animals and Heartless in their way and continue to move through the higher parts of the roller coaster tracks.

The group are now at the higher tracks but then they see Eggman with Bowser Jr. and Pete.

"You losers just won't QUIT! You're still a thorn in our sides, even when we have our own business!" Bowser Jr. yelled.

"Whatever 'business' you guys are up to, it's never good." Donald said.

"What're you doing here and why're you after this black box?" Ky asked.

"That ain't your beeswax, twerps!" Pete said.

"We might've been told not to deal with you, but since our search in this stupid world's over, now we have YOU to get rid of!" Bowser Jr. said.

"And lucky for me, I've modified this roller coaster car! I'll take your lives, then the box!" Eggman said.

"Bring it on, Eggman! You'll lose, regardless!" Sora said.

"Get up there and kill 'em! Don't screw up like this lug did!" Bowser Jr. said.

"Hey!" Pete said.

"You rodents are as good as DEAD!" Eggman yelled.

The group reach the different tracks.

"So, where'd that egghad run off to?" R.J. asked.

"Knowing him, he's bound to show up." Tails said.

"Can we not mention the location of our enemies anymore?" Verne said.

Just then they see Eggman on a robotic roller coaster car.

"Hahahaha! I've waited for a LONG time for this! Once I'm done with you, I'll kill Sonic next!" Eggman said as he takes out a blaster and fires fireworks at the group who dodge.

"This isn't the Third of July, isn't it?" Hammy asked.

"He's usin' fireworks?" Goofy asked.

"What a desperate idiot." Ky said.

"Let's send 'im packing." Sly said.

"Hmph! You forgot I have trick up my sleeved! Take THIS!" Eggman said firing fireworks on the tracks the group is on and it tarts to break.

"The tracks!" Donald said.

"He's trying to bring us down with them." Lucas said.

"He IS desperate!" Sly said.

"Guys, there are other tracks!" Bentley said.

"Hurry!" Kiyo said.

the group start moving while the tracks keep going down and Ky, Noel, and Sora use air step to move to the next track and confront Eggman.

"Still alive?! I'll fix THAT!" Eggman said using his robotic car to fire giant fireballs.

"Time to end this now!" Eggman yelled.

"Yeah, we'll find that black box and make youse sorry!" Pete said but Bowser Jr. whacks him with his hammer.

"SHUT UP!" Bowser Jr. shouted as they leave.

"Losers." Ky said.

"Yes they are." T.J. said.

"Still, they're after this black box, which means serious business." Sora said.

"Lotta work for a cotton candy machine..." Verne said.

"You should see what I'll do for candy bars." R.J. said.

Elena uses her magic to levitate the group off the roller coaster and land on the park grounds.

"Viola!" R.J. said.

"Gesundheit!" Hammy said.

Just then Ozzie arrives.

"Ozzie, what's wrong?" Noel asked.

"The Sniffer, that evil human!" Ozzie said.

"What'd he do now?" Zatch asked.

"He took Heather!" Ozzie said.

"When was this?" Donald asked.

"I don't know. For all I know, he already has those metal things on her precious head..." Ozzie said.

"Let's hope THAT doesn't happen. The last I need is fighting friends." Ky said.

"C'mon, what's worse than gettin' a cap slammed on your head and then you're under his control and you walk like this, then you attack your own father and get captured!" Hammy said but everyone looks at him. "What...?" Hammy asked.

"Ozzie, it's okay. We'll get Heather back." Sora said.

"I'm all for rescuin' and revenge and all, but how're we supposed to find him?" Stella asked.

"That's tough..." Max said.

"There's actually ONE person, who knows how to find the Sniffer." Verne said.

"Who?" Noel asked.

"We'll have to go to Gladys' house." R.J. said.

"Uh, who?" Ky asked.

"I'll explain on the way back." R.J. said as they leave the amusement park.

The group return to the woods and it's a new day and everyone gathers around.

"Well, all, the stakes have never been higher." R.J. said.

"As if it hasn't already." Elena said.

"Hmm, steak..." Hammy said.

"So, what're we doin' now?" Sora asked.

"We need Gladys' PDA." R.J. said.

"It's a human device that functions as a personal organizer and it also holds email and internet access. It's like a mini computer." Tails said.

"I like how Tails and Bentley are so far ahead than you, R.J." Verne said.

"Anyway, Gladys' new house is in the new part of suburbs." R.J. said.

"In other words, it's being constructed." Max said.

"Yep, and we're goin' through that construction." R.J. said.

"Hooray, dirt!" Hammy cheered.

"I LOVE dirt!" Donald said sarcastically.

"If we're lucky, we'll run into rust." Kiyo said.

"Now the first thing; we'll have to go through two yards, then through this house and the scaffolding." R.J. said.

"I'm no structure expert, but that don't look safe." Stella said.

"Nothing is safe." Sly said.

"It can hold three or four good-sized men." R.J. said.

"But we're than three and four." Lucas said.

"Well, there's Verne..." R.J. said.

"R.J.!" Noel scolded making the raccoon gulp.

"I can't help it that my shell is heavy and it's not like I have one of those flying things Bentley has on him." Verne said.

"And technically our shells are muscle." Bentley said.

"Right, all in the shell." R.J. said.

"Anyway, after we reach Gladys' yard, we go to the backdoor." Tails said.

"Then figure what to do next. A perfect plan to fill the perfect log." R.J. said.

"It's so easy, even for Sora." Donald said.

"Hey!" Sora said.

"Well, we'd better get ready." Ky said.

(Yard-Construction Site)

The group leave the hedge and arrive at the construction yard full of lasers like a maze.

"Well, this is gonna be fun." T.J. said.

"Nothing we can't handle." Shadow said.

The group start moving through the construction yard while avoiding lasers and they see two statues and so Murray picks up one statue while Shadow picks up another statue and make their way past the laser maze and Murray throws the frog statue at the frog pad to deactivate the lasers while Shadow throws the turtle statue at the turtle pad opening the way and they go for the next part of the yard that has an empty pool.

"We're in, but we better get inside, because I'm detecting many gophers, who want us dead." Tails said.

"Then, upstairs and out the window. Rooftops are my best friend, after all." Sly said as they go into the house.

(Construction House-Upstairs)

The group are in the house and upstairs and they find the open window and go outside.

"This isn't bad, as long as we don't fall, obviously." Ky said.

"This beats going through the sewers." Donald said.

Just then Bouncywild Heartless appear and shoot shots from their slingshots but Ky, Noel, and Sora throw their Keyblades defeating them and then use air step to reach the next side of the house and get across the scaffolding and then they jump the scaffolding and get down to a different yard.

(Gladys' Yard-Backyard)

The group arrive at the yard and they meet with Lou and Penny.

"That wasn't so hard." Sora said.

"We gave the place a real once-over earlier and I'd say it looks pretty safe down there. Borderline real good then." Lou said.

"I wouldn't say that. Keep in mind, we're in a crazy lady's yard. She tried to kill us with an electric prod." R.J. said.

"Oh, don't worry about her. She's out in front. We're a whole few feet away in plain view." Lou said.

"As long as we don't..." Blaze was cut off as something appears and it's Pest King but bigger and more vicious.

"That Black Xeti again, but different!" Noel said.

"It looks stronger and more pisses than the last one." Ken said.

"It's still a Black Xeti and we know how to dish 'em out." Ky said.

"Let's give this thing some exterminating!" T.J. said.

"I can't believe we took that thing down. Guess we rule." R.J. said.

"Well, now that we've made it to Gladys' backyard, whaddya we do?" Sora asked.

"This place is clearly a dead end. We should get to the front of the house." Tails said.

"How much much worse could this Gladys be than the Black Xetis, Heartless, or even the Brotherhood and the Organization both?" Zatch asked.

"I'd rank her as the weak enemy." Shadow said.

(Gladys' Yard-Front Yard)

The group arrive at the front yard and they find Ozzie.

"Okay, Ozzie, what headaches are we in for this time?" Donald asked.

"Good news, everyone. Lou managed to to get a peek in the van." Ozzie said.

"And?" T.J. asked.

"The device is on the seat, but the van door is locked." Ozzie said.

"No problem. We have an idea to unlock it." Ky said.

"Yep. Leave it to us." Sora said.

"And, Ozzie, I promise we'll get Heather back safely." Noel said.

"You have our word!" Goofy said saluting.

The group begin moving for the van and they find the lock on the van and so Ky, Noel, and Sora use their Keyblades to unlock the lock opening the van's door.

"That did it!" Sly said.

"Let's go." Donald said as they enter the van.

"Gee, I haven't seen this much boxes since Hammy blew up that one box factory from St. Patrick's Day." Verne said.

"Shh, you hear something?" Blaze asked.

"This isn't good." Bentley said.

"Let's just find that PDA and get out of here." Kiyo said.

The group search the van for the PDA while taking more food from the van and Tails finds a black device.

"There it is! Now, let's go." Tails said.

The group leave the van.

"Tails, Bentley, let's see if we can..." Ky was cut off.

"Pika!" Storm said pointing at the Exterminator coming and with him is a woman with short black hair and wearing a black suit.

"YOU!" The Exterminator said.

"I thought I smelled vermin!" The woman said.

"Let me guess, Gladys?" Max asked.

"Yep." R.J. said.

Gladys then sees Tails holding the PDA.

"That's my PDA! You THIEVES!" Gladys yelled.

"Not an insult to us, lady." Sly said.

The Exterminator goes for his van.

"I've been waiting for this moment..." The Exterminator said.

"That's it, furballs! It's go time." Gladys said.

"Bring it on, bitch!" Ken yelled but then a golfcart arrives and Ozzie is driving it and the group get on the top of it.

"Thank you, Ozzie." Lucas said.

"Now she won't go after us." Sora said.

Gladys goes for the Exterminator's van.

"No rodent or turtle goes faster than Gladys Sharp!" Gladys said driving the van to go after them.

Ozzie continues driving the cart while the group are riding on it.

"Everyone, this is your captain speaking. Please remain calm and in your seats until this cart has come to a complete crash and explosion." Ozzie said.

As Ozzie keeps driving the van arrives and Gladys uses the van's equipment to fire at the group but Ky, Noel, and Sora throw their Keyblades at the equipment while R.J. shoots golfballs while Verne throws hockey pucks while Hammy throws boomerangs while Stella throws frisbes but Ozzie drives to a fence breaking it taking them to a yard and the group dodge obstacles such as tree branches, beehives, and other yard stuff and Ozzie gets back on the street but the van arrives again and Gladys uses the equipment to attack but Donald, Elena, and Ken use magic to destroy more equipment while Goofy and Max throw their shields but Ozzie drives at another fence taking them to another yard and they keep dodging more yard obstacles but as Ozzie gets back on the street Gladys uses the van to attack the group but the group fight back against the van's equipment and dodge more obstacles while Ozzie keeps driving the cart but then Bouncywild Heartless fire shots but the group fight back destroying them and Ozzie keeps driving until they arrive back at Glady's new house while Gladys drives the van uncontrollably and crashes into her house.

"Is she okay...?" Noel asked.

"Parking...on couch...violation...of...homeowners...assohsh..." Gladys stops talking as she's unconscious.

"She's fine. Like I said, weak enemy." Shadow said.

"At least we still have the PDA." Tails said and Hammy licks it.

"Doesn't taste like blackberry." Hammy said.

It's now nighttime and the group return to the woods where they find Vincent.

"Vincent, is everything..." Ky stops talking as Powerwild Heartless, Bouncywild Heartless, Speedwild Heartless, Lizard Black Xetis, Frog Black Xetis, Pest King, and brainwashed animals, such as rats, rabbits, gophers, badgers, weasels, bears, and other animals are in the woods.

"Holy crap. There's a lot of 'em." Ken said.

"Defend the log! I'll take point." Vincent said.

"But..." Noel was cut off.

"This is a bear thing. I'll handle the front lines." Vincent said.

"Guys, let's do this!" R.J. said.

"This is OUR home and no monster's ruinin' it!" Stella said.

The group are surrounded by many brainwashed animals.

"There's too many of 'em!" Goofy said.

"I got an idea!" Ky said taking out four soda cans. "Hammy!" Ky said throwing a soda can.

"Oh, boy!" Hammy said.

"Let's do this!" Sora said as they drink the sodas and just then the enemies slow down.

Ky, Noel, Sora, and Hammy dash around and deliver strikes at the enemies with great speed and later time is back to normal and all the enemies are defeated.

"That did it!" Donald said.

Ky runs to a mole who is now free from the mind control.

"Hey, you okay? What was the last thing you remember?" Ky asked.

"I remember...VermTech... It was where the humans make those shiny hats." The mole said.

"When you were at VermTech, did you happen to see a girl possum?" Elena asked.

"Yeah, she called herself Heather." The mole said.

"That evil human has my daughter." Ozzie said.

"Guys, we need to get to VermTech, find and save Heather, and stop this madness right now." Tails said and everyone nods.

The group leave the hedge and arrive at a building that says 'VermTech' and there is a gate blocking the way.

"Whaddya'll say we name this place?" Stella asked.

"I'm thinking 'Linda'." Hammy said.

"How about 'Impassable'." Verne said.

"I got it! R.J. step over that pile of leaves." Sly said.

"Way to think like a raccoon, Sly!" R.J. said.

"He IS a raccoon!" Donald said.

Ky and Sly go for a powerbox and then press the switch making the statue attack at R.J. who dodges busting the gate open.

"Now that's settled, move." Tails said as they go for the building.

(VermTech-Entrance)

"This is it." Ky said.

"We gotta break in, save Heather, and get out." Bentley said.

"This ain't gonna be easy, but then again, since when it was?" Ken asked.

The group begin moving for the building entrance while fighting off brainwashed animals in their way and they find crates and so Murray and Shadow pick them up and throw them at the pads making the door open.

In the building Heather is running from the Exterminator.

"I don't wanna hurt you, marsupialis. I have a nice HAT for your HEAD!" The Exterminator said but Heather keeps running.

"Help!" Heather cried but stops at an elevator.

"Ha! You think you're the first possum to try and get on this elevator? Think again!" The Exterminator said as the doors close.

(VermTech-Lobby)

"This place is big!" Murray said.

"And the doors are blocked off." T.J. said.

"We'll have to split up and find switches to open the doors." Tails said.

"Good enough. R.J., Verne, Elena, Goofy, Tails, Storm, T.J., and Sly, you're with me." Ky said.

"Stella, Ken, Donald, Max, Lucas, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Blaze, and Bentley, you'll come with me." Noel said.

"Guess that means Hammy, Lucky, Shadow, and Murray, you're with me." Sora said.

"We'll meet back here after dealing with all these systems." Tails said.

Ky's group start going for the first room.

(VermTech-First Room)

Ky's group find the first room.

"So, this is where they make these traps for us." Verne said.

"The switch has to be here somewhere." Ky said.

Storm finds the first switch and so Tails flies over and flips the switch making the first set of doors open.

"That's one down." T.J. said.

"Only a more left." Sly said.

Ky's group keep going through the building while avoiding traps and they go for the next room.

(VermTech-Second Room)

Ky's group arrive at the next room and they find the second switch and Ky flips the switch.

"That's another switch down. Wonder how the others are doing." Elena said.

Meanwhile Noel's group go for the next room.

(VermTech-Third Room)

Noel's group arrive at the third room and they begin searching for the switch and Grace finds the switch and so Noel goes over and flips the switch making more doors open.

Meanwhile Sora's group go for the next room.

(VermTech-Fourth Room)

"Ready for the final mission?" Ky asked.

"Who isn't?" R.J. asked.

"Let's move." Goofy said.

The group make their way for the elevator and enter it.

(VermTech-Elevator)

"So, this is what they call 'elevator'." Verne said.

"They should be downstairs." Tails said.

"So, press '1'?" Sora asked pressing the 1 button making the elevator go down.

Just then lasers appear.

"Oh, come on!" Zatch said.

"You know what to do." Ky said.

The group jump over the lasers as the elevator goes down but then more lasers appear but the group keep avoiding the lasers as the elevator keeps going down and more lasers appear but the group continue to avoid the lasers as the elevator is reaching down level and later the elevator reaches the first floor and they get off the elevator and they find a switch and flip it making the door open.

"Here are; someplace new." R.J. said.

"They should be around there somewhere." T.J. said.

"Don't bother playin' possum with me, honey! I'm unstoppable." The Exterminator said.

"Not for long, jackass." Ky said as they keep going.

(VermTech-Secret Lab)

The group arrive at the secret lab of VermTech and they find the Exterminator holding Heather captive.

"What're you afraid of, little vermlet? It doesn't hurt to have your scalp pierced by sharp steel electrodes, watch!" The Exterminator said.

"There they are!" Ky said.

"Wait for the right moment." Verne said.

A rat comes in.

"Gotcha! Just hold still and..." The Exterminator uses a device and places the mind-controlled cap on the rat. "Presto! A perfect, the wrench." The Exterminator said.

"So THAT'S how he's controlling these animals!" Noel said.

"We gotta destroy all those brainwashing machines." Lucas said.

"What next?" Donald asked.

"We kick that Exterminator's ass!" Ken said.

The Exterminator then sees the group.

"YOU! AND you weird vermin too?! This is almost too good to be true! Say your prayers, roadkill!" The Exterminator said.

"You're finished killing and brainwashing animals! Payback time!" Sora yelled.

(Boss Theme: The Encounter)

"NOOOO! My machines! They were fragile and needed polishing!" The Exterminator yelled.

"There, no more brainwash animals." Noel said.

"Now what?" Murray asked.

"Take down the bastard!" Ky said.

"Hang on! We gotta destroy that central computer over him. If we do that, it'll fall right on his stupid head." Tails said.

"Luckily, human heads grow back." Hammy said.

"Hooray for the hedgehog, who discovered gravity last week." R.J. said.

"No! Not the capping controller! Any controller but that!" The Exterminator said.

"This is what happens when you mess with animals!" Sora yelled.

"Every animal is like us and I'll make you pay for what you did to them!" Noel yelled.

"You annoying pests! No vermin leaves VermTech alive without me seein' 'em!" The Exterminator yelled taking out his blasters.

"Destroy the machine and beat the crap outta him!" Ken said.

(Information: Destroy the central computer!)

The group go for the central computer but the Exterminator fires shots at the group who dodge and Ky uses Blizzard Raid on the Exterminator freezing him and then casts Triple Fire at the central computer while Noel casts Water Shot while Sora uses Thunder Raid but the Exterminator fires shots at the group with his blaster but Elena casts Sleep on the Exterminator making him sleep and then shoots magic shots at the central computer while Ken unleashes magic music fists coated with Earth magic and delivers a rocky punch while Donald casts Blizzard but the Exterminator keeps firing shots at the group who dodge and Goofy and Max throw their shields while Tails shoots shots from his blaster while Blaze throws fireballs while Shadow throws Chaos Spears but the Exterminator keeps firing at the group but Grace kicks a metal container at the Exterminator's head and then kicks another metal container at the central computer while Storm shoots electric shots but the Exterminator keeps firing shots at the group who dodge out of the way and Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Lucky uses Egg Throw while T.J. throws knives but the Exterminator shoots freeze shots from his freeze blaster and then shoots fire shots from his fire blaster but Sly throws his cane while Bentley uses his RC Chopper and it fires missiles while Murray picks up a metal crate and throws it while Lucas uses PK Flash but the Exterminator shoots many shots from his blasters but R.J. shoots golfballs while Verne shoots hockey pucks while Hammy throws his boomerang while Stella throws her frisbe and they destroy the central computer which falls on the Exterminator who moves out of the way.

"You FILTHY RODENTS! WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH YOU, I'LL..." The Exterminator stops talking as Storm is on his head again. "Oh, no... Get off me, you little..." The Exterminator was cut off as Storm electrocutes the Exterminator who is now fried and falls to the ground.

"Serves you right, asshole." Ky said.

"Guys!" Heather said running to the group.

"Heather!" R.J. said.

"You alright, girl?" Stella asked.

"I knew you guys'd come for me. Is Dad okay?" Heather asked.

"Ozzie's fine. He was worried about ya." Goofy said.

Just then VermTech starts to shake.

"Crap, this place is gonna blow! We gotta get outta here!" T.J. said as the building is about to explode.

"So...many stars...so many planets...so much fur... The horror..." The Exterminator said.

Noel stops and decides to levitate the Exterminator.

"Noel..." Ky said.

"If we leave him here, we'd be no better." Noel said.

"You're right, he may be an asshole, but we can't leave him to die here. Let's go." Ky said as they leave.

The group leave VermTech as it's on fire and Noel places the Exterminator who is still unconscious on the ground and R.J. is carrying Heather.

"Thanks for helping me, Uncle R.J." Heather said.

"Please, it was on the way." R.J. said.

The Exterminator wakes up to find police cars and firetrucks arriving and then sees the building on fire.

"THOSE VERMIN! This isn't over yet! When I find them, they'll wish they never mess with Dwyane the Exterminator!" The Exterminator yelled.

The group return to the woods and they find many animals dancing and having a party.

"We made it, saved Heather, and..." Ky stops talking.

"One helluva party!" Ken said.

Later the group are talking to the kids.

"Naturally, Verne was against the whole idea." R.J. said.

"At least Tails and Bentley's plans are accurate and thought out. R.J.'s plans always consist of 'Let's just go wherever the danger is and hope for the best'." Verne said.

"That sounds like Sora's plans." Donald said.

"Hey! You hardly come up with plans and throw tantrums." Sora said.

"I do NOT!" Donald snapped.

"You two can it, or get sprayed!" Stella said making the two stop.

"Thank you." Ky said.

"Also, I had some cheese fires this one time..." Hammy said.

"Well, enough sittin' around. Who wants to dance with a skunk?" Stella asked.

Just then a cat arrives.

"Ah, my little striped passion flower. This next dance is mine." The cat said.

"Aw, Tiger!" Stella said.

"Wait, a skunk and a cat?" Murray asked.

"Oh, shut up." Blaze said.

Just then Ozzie comes to the group.

"Thank you for saving my daughter. You are my heroes." Ozzie said.

"It's nothing." Ky said.

"You would've done it for us." Verne said.

"No, but I would now." Ozzie said.

"So, what's next?" R.J. asked.

"Well, I think it's about time for us to be moving on now." Tails said.

"Wait, you're leaving?" Verne asked.

"I'm afraid so. We have much bigger problems than the Exterminator." Elena said.

"You fellas must have a lot to deal with." Lou said.

"Will you fellas be back soon?" Penny asked.

"Of course!" Donald said.

"We'd be happy to show up again." Lucas said.

"Well, hope you'll come by again before winter comes." Verne said.

"Hopefully." Ky said.

"It was actually fun." Noel said.

"Yeah, see ya!" Sora said as the group start leaving the woods while the animals wave goodbye at the group who go deep into the woods.

The group leave Woodlands and Ky and his group get back on Fulgur while Noel's group get on Millia while Sora, Donald, and Goofy return to the Gummi ship and they revert back to their normal forms and are flying through space.

"Man..." Ky said.

"What's wrong?" Tails asked.

"I wanna find a way to help Xyk. Ya think Ienzo's figured out on how to get a body yet?" Ky asked.

"Probably, you can always call him." Noel said.

"Yeah, I guess..." Ky said taking out his Gummiphone but thinks. "Nah, I'll check up on him later." Ky said.

"You sure?" Max asked.

"Don't get me wrong, I want Xyk back, but I don't wanna rush. There's a lot on our plates." Ky said.

"And we'll devour them in no time!" Murray said.

"Yeah, I guess." Ky said smiling.


Meanwhile in a dark lab a hooded crimson cloaked and black star figure is working on a machine and is checking the process and just then a dark portal appears revealing to be Hilda.

"And how is our replicas coming along?" Hilda asked.

"Hmph. Don't rush perfection. These things take time, you know." The Brotherhood member said.

"That's not what you said when you created both Vitium and two of Noel's replicas back at the tower." Hilda said.

"That was because when I have created them, they were nothing but imperfect fools, who were weak and lacked the discipline to eradicate the two. But now, they will follow our every whim and cause pain and chaos for the foolish Virtues and Guardians." The Brotherhood member said.

"Well, don't take TOO long. It will only be a matter of time before the little heroes will try to succeed against us." Hilda said disappearing through a dark portal.

"Hmhmhmhm... Soon these replicas will be the perfect weapons to cause the rift we need." The Brotherhood member said eyeing at the labels which say 'Vitium' and 'Xaria'.
