Chapter 26: Planet of Dinosaurs

At Rosalina's observatory Ami is reading a book to the Lumas but then someone arrives.

"Hey, Ami!" The voice said and they see Griff who is now wearing a white shirt with an orange sleeveless hooded vest over it with a sun symbol is at the back of the vest, indigo and orange pants with sun shaped chains hanging from them, black and orange shoes, and black and orange bands around his arms.

"Griff, still training with your new bow?" Ami asked.

"Yeah and my lightning magic too. I feel like I can take on anything. And these clothes Nex brought me are pretty awesome, so I can handle any darkness." Griff said.

"That's great. Lemme guess, Nex just gave them to you, said something rude, and left." Ami said.

"Honestly, I'm not shocked. He has his own things to do and so do I. I just wanted to take a break from my training. The weapon Rosa made me's pretty awesome. Combining the arrows together and my magic will show I can't be messed with." Griff said.

"That's good to hear." Ami said.

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask you something. I just haven't gotten my chance to because we were busy. What was our clan like? The same clan we're from? I want to know everything I can." Griff said.

"I'll tell you when it's right." Ami said.

"C'mon, I wanna know now. Since I was captured by the Deadly Alliance, I've been trying to find out about my family, who my parents were. Then, I got to meet you, and you said we're from the same clan. So, tell me, what was our clan like?" Griff asked and Ami sighed.

"I don't know everything, but Faust has told me a lot since I was his prisoner." Ami said and Griff sits next to her.

"Tell me." Griff said.

"We're from the clan of mages known as the Magicus. You could say we were a race of beings with a gift of mystic arts. It was formed by a powerful Sun Mage by the name of Sol, a wise and respectful mage that he's in fact the clan's leader." Ami said.

"Sol..." Griff said as he looks at his right arm to look at his winged sun mark. "Um, did Sol ever have this on his arm?" Griff asked.

"I don't know. I never saw him." Ami said.

"Oh, well, what happened to the Magicus?" Griff asked.

"All I know is that one day, as the clan was living their normal lives of freedom and happiness, the clan was invaded by force of darkness. Probably the Black Xetis and the Heartless and probably Malus when he had his new body. All I know was that the Magicus were attacked and they fought with all their power, but none survived, except there were two people. I was actually little, so I don't really remember, but I only saw myself as the survivor and that I was sent away from the attack. I was alone all this time, that is, until I saw him, Faust himself. I could remember that awful look on his face, that sinister smile he had. He couldn't wait until he could use me and my magic for his own selfish purposes. That was then we were at Tower of Remembrance and I was his prisoner and slave ever since." Ami said.

"Until Ky and Noel saved you from that asshole." Griff said.

"Yes." Ami said.

"I'm sorry I made you try to tell me. You were too young to remember and obviously I wouldn't know myself. I'll find the answer to the Magicus and who knows, there could be more like us! Maybe more children like us escaped from that attack and we'll be able to find them. Then, we'll make a new Magicus Clan!" Griff said.

"That's what I like about you, Griff. You're so positive." Ami said.

"Thank Ky for that. To be honest, all I remember was that I ended up in Requiem City, alone, with no one to turn to. If what you said about that attack was true and you escaped, then obviously, I did to, but I was at Requiem City. I was so scared, sad, and alone. Then, I met someone, a kid just about my age. His dark brown hair and that grin on his face. He knew the sadness in me." Griff said.

Flashback:

In Requiem City young Griff was wandering through the city alone while passing many people who walk past him ignoring him completely and then he found a park and decides to sit on a bench tired from all the walking but then his stomach starts to growl.

"I'm hungry..." Griff said looking around to see many kids eating their lunch together making him even more hungry and starts to cry.

"Hey, what's the matter?" A voice asked and Griff turns to see a boy about his age with dark brown hair and blue eyes.

"I'm hungry... I don't have a mommy or daddy... I'm all alone." Griff said crying again.

"That's too bad. Hey, I have something." The boy said taking out a sandwich and splits it into two. "My mom made me this and I was gonna eat with my friend, but we can share this, if you want." The boy said grinning.

"Really...?" Griff asked.

"Sure." The boy said offering a half of the sandwich and Griff hesitates to take it but takes the half.

"Thank you." Griff said eating the half and the boy eats the other half.

"Hey, you wanna play with me in the park? I can also ask my mom to see if it's okay to stay over." The boy said.

"Um, why're you being so nice to me? We haven't met." Griff said.

"I don't like seeing people down and feeling sad. I wanna make them feel better. So, do you wanna be my friend?" The boy asked.

"I've never had a friend. Okay!" Griff said smiling.

"There's that smile!" The boy said grinning.

"What's your name? My name's Griff!" Griff introduced.

"I'm Ky! Nice to meet you, Griff!" Ky said grinning.

Flashback End.

"Since then, Ky and I have been like brothers and of course, we have Pax and Nex, making a foursome group. We were inseparable until that night and now look where we are." Griff said.

"Ky's lucky to have you." Ami said.

"Actually, I'm lucky to have him. You know what, I wanna see how he's doing." Griff said as he takes out a Gummiphone. "This came with my new clothes. I'm supposed to like call someone with it." Griff said as he uses the Gummiphone.

Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas leave Corona and return to Lanes between and as they continue on their journey Ky's Gummiphone starts going off.

"My Gummiphone again. New mission?" Ky asked and he answers the Gummiphone and it reveals to be Griff.

"Hey, Ky!" Griff said.

"Griff?! Hey, what's up? I haven't seen you since the exam." Ky said.

"Yeah, sorry I left without saying bye. I wanted to go to Rosa's observatory so I can train myself to make myself useful for that battle we're supposed to deal with." Griff said.

"How's that going?" Ky asked.

"Awesome! I'm calling because..." Griff stops talking.

"Griff?" Ky asked.

"I want you to come over and see me, if that's okay. I understand you're busy being the new Keyblade Master and all and this might sound selfish, but I wanna see you." Griff said.

"Griff... Okay!" Ky said grinning.

"Really?" Griff asked.

"Yep. We'll be at the observatory soon!" Ky said.

"Thanks, Ky! You're the best!" Griff said and they hang up.

"Wow, Griff really wants to see you. You sure about this?" Elena asked.

"We can go see how he's doing." Noel said.

"Yeah. I totally wanna see him. Let's go!" Ky said as he has Fulgur fly off at great speed and Millia follows.

Meanwhile Sora, Donald, and Goofy see Fulgur and Millia flying at great speed.

"Whoa, we're're they going?" Sora asked.

"We should follow 'em, they prob'ly got a new mission." Goofy said and the Gummi ship follows after.

Later Fulgur, Millia, and the Gummi ship arrive at a different section of Lanes Between and it has many metal parts and meteorites and they begin flying through space while fighting off Black Xetis rays of darkness and Heartless ships and they keep flying but then they see something flying in their way and it's a giant airship.

"What's with that giant ship?" Lucas asked.

"Wait a minute, it looks exactly like Eggman's Egg Cruiser." Tails said.

"What's that damn egghead up to now?" Ken asked.

In the Egg Cruiser III in the main room Eggman along with the Horned King, Nightmare, Maleficent, Bowser Jr., Porky, Pete, the Koopalings, and the Deadly Six are looking for worlds.

"With the Egg Cruiser III at our disposal, we'll tear these worlds apart to find the black box." Eggman said.

"Hey, in case you lost your so-called 300 IQ, we're trying to CONQUER worlds!" Bowser Jr. said.

"I'm aware of that, but sacrifices must be made if we're going to find this Book of Prophecies." Eggman said.

"But which world do we start?" Pete asked.

"Hmm..." Eggman searches which world and then finds what looks like a planet like world. "This planet, Dinosaur Planet, as it's called. It's a world full of dinosaurs." Eggman said.

"And what makes you think we'll that box there?" Zavok asked.

"Where's your sense of adventure, Zavok? Who knows what we'll find." Eggman said.

"Then YOU shall find it. Do not fail me." Maleficent said.

"Of course, my dear." Eggman said.

"Porky, you shall go as well." Nightmare said.

"But..." Porky was cut off.

"GO, OR SOUL WILL BE DEVOURED!" Nightmare shouted.

"Yes, Master..." Porky said fearfully.

"Roy, Morton, Iggy, make sure these idiots don't fail." Bowser Jr. said.

"On it!" Roy said as the three go.

Just then an alarm goes off.

"Now what?" Eggman asked as he sees Fulgur, Millia, and the Gummi ship. "ARGH, it's them again!" Eggman said.

"So, those idiots are trying to stop us." Zeena said.

"Not this time! Let's have some fun with them!" Eggman said using the Egg Cruiser III to fire at the group.

Fulgur, Millia, and the Gummi ship dodge the attack from the Egg Cruiser III.

"Whoa, that's some serious fire." Sly said.

"Guess we're in for a dog fight! Get ready!" Ky said.

"Sora, be careful!" Donald said.

"We got this! We took down Egghead's ship before and we'll do it again!" Sora said.

Egg Cruiser III fires lasers and missiles at the group who dodge and Fulgur unleashes feathered arrows while Millia uses her wings to unleash powerful gusts of wind while the Gummi ship fires lasers but the Egg Cruiser III sends out tiny robots to attack while still firing lasers and missiles but the Gummi ship aims at the cannons of the Egg Cruiser III and manages to destroy all cannons while Millia defeats the tiny robots with her wings while Fulgur unleashes more feathered arrows but the Egg Cruiser III sends out bullets and cannon fire at the group but Millia unleashes feathers to destroy the projectiles while Fulgur keeps firing feathered arrows at the Egg Cruiser III while the Gummi ship keeps firing lasers and they manage to destroy many cannons and tony robots firing lasers.

"We're doing great!" Tails said.

"Just a few more and that damn ship's goin' down!" Ken cheered.

"You'd better come up with a better strategy." Zik said.

"I always come up with a plan!" Eggman said pressing a button making the Egg Cruiser III open up its front vessel revealing what looks like a cannon.

"That's pretty big..." Noel said.

"No matter, we can handle it." Max said.

"Hehehehe, this cruiser's installed with the most powerful cannon ever created! Once fired, it will send these miserable fools out of commission! Ahhh, the cannon's charged up and ready! FIRE!" Eggman shouted as the Egg Cruiser III's front cannon fires a giant cannon at the group.

"Uh oh..." Goofy said seeing the laser.

"We gotta move!" Donald said.

"Right!" Sora said.

"C'mon!" Ky said as they try to dodge but the giant laser manages to get all of them.

"Oh, no! We're hit!" Bentley said as Fulgur, Millia, and the Gummi ship start crashing down.

"Everybody hold on!" Ky said.

"We're gonna die!" Zatch cried as they keep crashing down.

"We're doomed!" Donald cried.

"Just hold on!" Sora said as the Gummi ship crashes down to a planet.

"Hahahahaha! They were no match for the Egg Cruiser III!" Eggman said.

"Good for you, Egghead. Now, go get that stupid box!" Bowser Jr. said.

"Fine. Let's go." Eggman said as they prepare to leave.

Meanwhile somewhere else in space a spaceship is flying through and inside the spaceship a jukebox is playing rock music and a green toad is working on a robot.

"That should be it, Rob. All fixed." The toad said.

"Affirmative, I'll get back to work." Rob said leaving.

"Hey, Fox, isn't this music getting on your nerves? I'm trying to work on my maps." Someone said and it's a hare talking to a fox.

"I hear you, old timer. Slippy, turn it down." The fox said and the toad named Slippy throws his wrench at the jukebox stopping the music. "Hey!" The fox said but then a hologram appears and it's what looks like a canine wearing a general outfit. "General Pepper!" The fox said.

"General Pepper here. I have a new mission for you, Fox. You're approaching Dinosaur Planet, an ancient world on the edge of the Lylat System. As you'll see, chunks of the planet have been torn from the surface. It's your job to get them back. If Dinosaur Planet explodes, it could affect the entire Lylat System. The only lead we have is that you must locate the Queen of the EarthWalker dinosaur tribe. Maybe she can help you further. By the way, your fee has been approved. If you're successful, then the money will be forwarded to you immediately. Pepper out." General Pepper said as the hologram disappears.

"Well, you heard the General, let's go!" Fox said as he gets on a smaller ship and flies off for a planet that's torn.

Meanwhile in what looks like a grassy plain Ky is unconscious but then wakes up from Fulgur's lick.

"Ugh... Damn, that Egghead's cannon did pack one hell of a punch." Ky said but Fulgur nudges on him. "Hey, boy. Glad you're okay. Where am we?" Ky asked looking around and sees no one else. "Actually, where are the others? Ugh, great. I wanted to see Griff and now I have to deal with THIS. Well, whatever. We better start looking for the others." Ky said and Fulgur nods and they start moving.

(World of Dinosaur Planet)

(ThornTail Hollow-Plains)

(Field Theme: World of Dinosaurs)

(Information: Find your friends!)

Ky starts moving through the plains to explore around and as he's looking around he finds some dinosaurs drinking water from lakes and many flying dinosaurs.

"Whoa, dinos! Too cool!" Ky said.

Just then he hears a loud noise while rough wind blows on him and Ky looks up to see a spaceship flying down and then lands next to him.

"Whoa, a ship!" Ky said and coming out is Fox who turns on his communicator showing General Pepper.

"Great flying, Fox! I thought you weren't gonna make it." General Pepper said.

"Very funny, sir." Fox said.

"I know. Now, onto business; you're able to communicate with your teammates. Whenever you're in a bind, you can contact one of them. Now, start looking for Queen EarthWalker. Maybe these Thorntails will help you, but they'll be speaking in a different language, so Slippy will prepare a translator device." General Pepper said.

"Okay, but I'll need a weapon to defend myself. Why couldn't I bring my blaster?" Fox asked.

"Always the same with you, Fox. Always shooting first and asking questions later. We're trying to save the planet, not blow it up. Use your head for once." General Pepper said.

"Yeah, very funny, sir. Fox out." Fox said turning off his communicator.

"No fighting on the planet, huh? What if Black Xetis and the Heartless are here? Also, what about the Brotherhood and the Organization? What then?" Ky asked to himself.

"Huh, is something there?" Fox asked.

"Crap..." Ky said as he comes out from behind the ship. "Uh, hi." Ky said.

"Huh? Who're you? You're not a dinosaur. Did you sneak on my Arwing or the Great Fox? We don't take stowaways." Fox said.

"Wow, guess that general guy was right, you are stubborn." Ky said.

"AND you were eavesdropping? Who do you think you are?" Fox asked.

"Okay, hold up. My name is Ky and no, I was not hiding on your ship. I just happened to end up here when you showed up." Ky said.

"Okay and why are you here?" Fox asked.

"Long story, my friends and I were traveling through space and then we came a cross a dangerous ship and while we were fighting it off, it unleashed a big ass laser on me and my friends and now I'm separated from them." Ky said.

"Well, sounds like you got yourself into a pickle. I'm sure you'll get it out yourself." Fox said starting to leave.

"Hmm, he's ordered to find this Queen EarthWalker. Maybe she might know where my friends are." Ky said as he follows Fox.

Ky begins following Fox who then finds what looks like a staff.

"What's this?" Fox asked picking up the staff but then something appears.

"If you are receiving this message, then I am in great danger. The Staff you hold in your hands is a powerful weapon. Learn to use it wisely. It will guide you when its power can be used. My Staff's main use is in combat and your skills may grow overtime. Take care of my Staff and it will take care of you." A voice said in a different language.

"Looks like I got a new weapon." Fox said.

Just then Heartless that look like raptors appear surrounding Fox.

"Heartless!" Ky said as he rushes to Fox's side.

"You again? What're you doing, kid?" Fox asked.

"I know what these are! They're dangerous. Lemme handle them!" Ky said taking out Dawn of Hope.

"You have a weapon too, huh? Fine, I'll help too." Fox said readying the Staff.

(Battle Theme: Wrath of Dinosaurs)

(Information: Team up with Fox and defeat the Heartless!)

The Raptor Heartless deliver bites with their razor sharp teeth but Ky casts Zero Gravity sending them into air and then slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by casting Thunder Shot while Fox attacks with the staff followed by a spinning attack but the Raptor Heartless deliver tail whip attacks but Fox retaliates with spinning the staff in a windmill like fashion and then delivers a staff slam while Ky vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a blade stand kick and then delivers a sliding kick and horizontal slashes but the Raptor Heartless continue to bite with their teeth but Ky spin slashes with Dawn of Hope and then uses Earth Edge unleashing a slab of rock under while Fox multi stabs with the staff but the Raptor Heartless keep attacking but Fox spin attacks with the staff while Ky uses Water Slash and they defeat all of the Heartless.

"Well, this staff came in handy. " Fox said and turns to Ky. "Hey, Ky, was it? You're not half bad for a kid." Fox said.

"Hehe, thanks." Ky said rubbing the back of his head.

"Guess I never told you my name. Fox McCloud, I'm the leader of Star Fox." Fox introduced.

"Great to meet you, Fox. Thanks for helping me fight." Ky said.

"You just said those things were dangerous, right? Meaning that you know them. So, what are they?" Fox asked.

"Those were Heartless. They're monsters that're after hearts." Ky said.

"Hearts? What do freaks like them want with hearts?" Fox asked.

"To eat 'em, basically." Ky said.

"Okay, I've seen some messed up people, but that's just..." Fox stops talking.

Just then something starts glowing on a ruined monument and it's glowing red.

"What's that for?" Fox asked.

"Hmm..." Ky casts Fire at the glow making the monument open. "I guess we'll go in." Ky said as he goes in.

"This kid... What am I, his babysitter?" Fox asked as he goes after him.

Ky and Fox enter a cave and begin looking around.

"HELLOOOO! NOEL! SORA! ELENA! MAX! FOUL MOUTH! TEEJ! KYIO AND ZATCH! STORM! LUCKY! SLY! DONALD! GOOFY! GRACE! BENTLEY! MURRAY! SHADOW! TAILS! BLAZE! LUCAS!" Ky shouted but no response.

"You always this loud?" Fox asked.

"Hey, I'm trying to find my friends." Ky said.

"Well, they're clearly not here." Fox said.

"Still, I'm gonna find 'em." Ky said but then he finds what looks like a Triceratops on the ground. "Hey, you okay? I'm Ky." Ky said.

"Are you the Queen EarthWalker?" Fox asked but the Triceratops speaks in dino much to their confusion.

"Did you get that, Slippy?" Fox asked activating his communicator.

"You've got to get up to Ice Mountain to rescue her son, Prince Tricky." Slippy said.

"Nice name." Fox said rolling his eyes.

"Don't worry, ma'am. I'll get you're son back." Ky said.

"Hey, this isn't your mission! Why're you involved?" Fox asked.

"Because I like helping people." Ky said.

"Okay, but do you even know where it is?" Fox asked.

"Nope, and I doubt you know yourself." Ky said.

"Smart-mouth." Fox said rolling his eyes.

The Triceratops makes a dino call making a Thorntail move aside revealing a hole and then speaks dino again.

"You've got to talk to that big stone guy. It's called a WarpStone." Slippy said.

"Great, in that case, let's go." Ky said.

"Uh, Fox, who's your new friend?" Slippy asked.

"I'm Ky." Ky introduced.

"And we're not really friends, just two people on the same planet." Fox said.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Ky. I'm Slippy! Hey, if you ever have any questions, you can ask me!" Slippy said.

"Thanks, Slip!" Ky said.

"Anyway, Queen, we'll be back soon." Fox said. "Slippy, isn't that translator finished yet?" Fox asked.

"It's nearly done. I just need more time. Slippy out." Slippy said.

"Well, better get going." Ky said.

"Fine." Fox said.

The two start moving to go find the WarpStone and while looking around they find a giant stone figure.

"Are you the WarpStone?" Ky asked.

"Who dares disturb the WarpStone? A thousand years, I've been kept alone to rest. What do you want?" The WarpStone asked.

"We were hoping to get to Ice Mountain." Fox said.

"Can you please help us?" Ky asked

"Help you? No!" The WarpStone said.

"But you're the WarpStone, you have to help." Fox said.

"Please, we have to help someone." Ky said.

"Oh, alright. So, Ice Mountain, is it? Get on." The WarpStone said offering its hand and Ky and Fox get on and the two teleport away.

(Ice Mountain-Snowy Field)

Ky and Fox are teleported to a snowy field and they look around.

"Looks like this is Ice Mountain." Ky said.

"Okay, let's go and find this Tricky." Fox said.

Meanwhile somewhere around the snowfield Noel, Donald, T.J., Lucky, and Tails start moving through the field.

"Man, this is place is COLD! Donald, can't you use your magic to gimme a coat?" T.J. asked.

"The magic doesn't work that way!" Donald yelled.

"This is bad, not only are we separated, but I can't find anyone around here. We're stuck." Tails said.

"I hope everyone else is okay..." Noel said.

"Well, it won't matter because there's no way off." Donald said.

"Yoshi..." Lucky said sadly.

"I'm not quitting." T.J. said.

"Neither am I. There has to be a way off." Noel said.

(Information: Find the others!)

The five begin moving to find the others but then they see what looks like a small Triceratops surrounded by Mammoth Black Xetis.

"Black Xetis!" Donald said taking out his staff.

"And they're hurting that poor creature..." Noel said as the small Triceratops runs from the Mammoth Black Xetis who chase them.

"We gotta help it." Noel said.

"But what about finding the others?" Donald asked.

"That's also important, but we just can't ignore it." Tails said.

"Aw, phooey." Donald said.

"C'mon." T.J. said.

The five start moving while fighting off Black Xetis in their way and they later find what looks like a red glow and so Noel casts Fire at the glow making it open and they go in.

Meanwhile Ky and Fox continue to find Tricky and they see five figures going into a hut.

"Those five..." Ky said as he follows the five.

"Ky, what are you doing?" Fox asked following Ky and they enter the hut.

In the hut the Mammoth Black Xetis start to attack the small Triceratops.

"Leave him alone!" A voice yelled and it's Noel with Radiant Salvation in her hand while Donald has his staff while T.J. has his knife while Tails takes out his blaster while Lucky gets ready to fight.

The Mammoth Black Xetis begin to attack but someone arrives and it's Ky and with him is Fox.

"Pick on someone your own size, assholes!" Ky said.

"Ky!" Noel and T.J. cheered.

"Oh, boy!" Donald cheered.

"You're okay." Tails said.

"Yeah, same to you." Ky said.

"Uh, can we focus here?" Fox asked.

"Right, let's go!" Ky said.

(Information: Defeat the Black Xetis while protecting the Triceratops!)

The Mammoth Black Xetis attack with their trunks but Ky triple slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by Fire Edge while Noel delivers five slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by a graceful twirling slash and then casts Triple Fire but the Mammoth Black Xetis stomp on their feet to deliver shock waves but Tails shoots lasers from his blaster while Lucky uses Egg Roll but the Mammoth Black Xetis attack with their tusks but Donald casts Earth followed by casting Fission Fire while T.J. dash slashes with his knife while Fox attacks with the staff but the Mammoth Black Xetis swing their trunks to attack but Noel casts Fire Burst followed by Fire Surge while Ky uses Fire Raid and they defeat all of the Black Xetis.

The group search for the small Triceratops but he's gone.

"Where'd the little guy go?" T.J. asked.

"Great, now we have to find him." Fox said.

"We'll find him if we stick together." Noel said.

"Fine, let's go." Fox said.

The seven start moving through the field to find the Triceratops while fighting off many Black Xetis in their way and continue finding the Triceratops and they later come across an icy lake and they find the small Triceratops.

"There you are. I hope you're not hurt." Noel said and the Triceratops speaks dino.

"What?!" Donald asked.

"Ugh, this again..." Fox said.

"Apparently, we can't understand what they're saying." Ky said.

"Luckily, I made a translator." Tails said taking out a translator and points it at the Triceratops.

"I wanted to thank you for helping me, but I had to get away in case more showed up." The Triceratops said.

"You're welcome." Ky said.

"You wouldn't happen to be Prince Tricky, would you?" Fox asked.

"Yeah, I am, but who are you?" Tricky asked.

"I'm Ky. This is Noel, Donald, Tails, T.J., Lucky, and that's Fox." Ky said.

"Your mother asked me to rescue you." Fox said.

"What about my dad?" Tricky asked.

"My guess he's been captured." Fox said.

"Is my mother okay?" Tricky asked.

"You're mom's fine, but we gotta get you home." Ky said.

"Tricky, you should stay with us. There're these monsters called Black Xetis and Heartless and they'll attack you. Leave them to us and stay by us." T.J. said.

"Okay. Thanks, guys." Tricky said.

"And, Fox, was it, thank you for looking out for Ky." Noel said.

"Sure, I guess." Fox said.

"So, how'd you two meet?" Donald asked.

"After we got separated, I saw Fox arrive and since then, we've been together." Ky said.

"I take it you're Ky's friends, or at least some of his friends." Fox said.

"We are." T.J. said.

"Nice to meet you, I guess." Fox said.

"Well, it's nice to meet you too, Fox. Let's get going." Tails said.

The seven start moving through the mountain while keeping Tricky with them and working together with him such as digging holes to get through they continue moving through the mountain but then more Black Xetis appear and same for Raptor Heartless but Ky and Noel attack with their Keyblades while Donald casts Thunder while Tails delivers a tail swipe while Lucky uses Ground Pound while T.J. slashes with his knife while Fox attacks with his staff and they keep going through the ice mountain but then another Black Xeti attacks but Tricky tries to attack but the Black Xeti pushes him back but Noel defeats it.

"Tricky, that was dangerous." Noel said.

"I'm sorry. I was trying to help." Tricky said.

"Well, you're not hurt." Noel said.

"Just leave the fighting to us, okay?" Ky asked.

"Okay." Tricky said.

The seven continue to move through the ice mountain.

Meanwhile somewhere else on Ice Mountain on a frozen lake Sora, Max, Grace, Lucas, Sly, Blaze, and Zatch move through the frozen lake.

"Of all the places to get separated, WHY did it have to be HERE?!" Sora asked.

"Calm down, Sora." Blaze said.

"This is gonna be tricky since we have no idea how to get outta here and we have no idea where we are." Zatch said.

"Still, we have to find the rest." Max said.

"Eevee." Grace said in agreement.

"Right. I just hope we're not far." Lucas said.

"Let's find our way out and hopefully, we'll find them." Sly said.

"Okay, time for a friend hunt." Sora said.

The seven continue moving through the frozen lake to find the others but then Raptor Heartless appear and attack with their teeth but Sora attacks with Ever After followed by casting Water and then enters Mirage Staff and slides many times creating copies of himself and him and his copies fire many magic shots while Max uses Cyclone while Grace uses Tackle while Lucas uses PK Love while Sly uses Insanity Strike and makes the Heartless attack each other while Blaze shoots fireballs while Zatch delivers two punches and they defeat the Heartless and keep going.

As the seven continue to move through the ice mountain but then they see seven other figures going for a cave.

"Are those guys Black Xetis or Heartless?" Zatch asked.

"Let's get the jump on 'em." Sora said.

"I don't think that's a good idea. We should at least take a look." Blaze said.

"Blaze is right. Maybe they're not enemies." Lucas said.

"Okay. Guess that's possible." Sora said.

The seven go for the cave to follow the other seven and enter it and they find the seven figures who are Ky, Noel, Donald, Tails, Lucky, T.J, and Fox and Tricky.

"Huh, hey, those are..." Sora stops talking.

"Ky and Noel are here and they're okay." Max said as they run for the seven.

"HEY, KY, NOEL!" Sora called making the two turn to see him, Max, Grace, Lucas, Sly, Blaze, and Zatch running to them.

"Sora!" Ky and Noel said.

"He's okay!" T.J. said.

"Finally, and it looks like Max, Blaze, Sly, Grace, Lucas, and Zatch are okay." Donald said.

"We were worried about you guys." Sly said.

"So were we." Tails said.

"So, lemme guess, more of your friends?" Fox asked.

"Yeah." Ky said.

"Hi, I'm Sora." Sora introduced.

Max." Max introduced.

"I'm Lucas." Lucas introduce.

"Blaze the Cat." Blaze introduced.

"Sly Cooper." Sly introduced.

"And I'm Zatch Bell!" Zatch introduced.

"Hi, I'm Tricky!" Tricky introduced.

"Fox McCloud. Look, it's great to meet you, but we need to get Tricky home." Fox said.

"Okay, can we come too?" Sora asked.

"Do what you want." Fox said.

"What's his deal?" Max asked.

"Don't mind him. Fox's not a bad guy, just focused." Ky said.

"Gotcha." Sly said.

"C'mon, let's hurry and get Tricky home." T.J. said.

The fourteen start moving through the cave while escorting Tricky and they later come across what looks like a gate and so Ky, Noel, and Sora open it revealing the way to ThornTail Hollow.

"Hey, this is where I met Fox." Ky said.

"We're back at ThornTail Hollow. Now, let's go find Queen EarthWalker." Fox said but they start hearing cries.

"What's that?" Donald asked.

"That's my Ma!" Tricky said running off.

"Tricky, wait!" Noel called but he's gone.

"C'mon, let's go follow him." Max said.

The fourteen follow Tricky through the plain and make their way back to the cave.

"Okay, guys, mission accomplished. Peppy, contact General Pepper so we can get paid." Fox said.

"Paid for what?" Sora asked.

"Oh, yeah, I heard Fox was talking to this General Pepper about a mission to help Queen EarthWalker." Ky said.

"Are you sure she's okay, Fox?" Tricky asked.

"You sure you're finished down there? The planet's not back together yet." Peppy said.

"Planet not back together?" Tails asked.

"This DOES sound serious." Lucas said.

"Tricky, is there anything we can do?" Max asked.

"We need to find White Grub Tub. Mom gives them to me when I'm sick." Tricky said.

"She's gonna a lot of it then." Donald said.

"Let's take a look around and see what we can find." Zatch said.

The group begin finding White Grub Tub and they later find a hole and so they go through it.

"Tricky, this could be dangerous. Let us find the White Grub Tub while you stay with your mom." Ky said.

"But I wanna help my mom." Tricky said.

"We know, but there could be a lot of Black Xetis and Heartless around." Sly said.

"Please stay with your mother and we'll be back." Noel said.

"Okay, but please hurry." Tricky said.

"Don't worry." Max said.

The group climb down and go for the next area of ThornTail Hollow.

(ThornTail Hollow-Swamp)

The group arrive at the swamp area of ThornTail Hollow and start searching for White Grub Tub and while exploring around they find a cave with a hole and so they climb down and continue searching while getting past bats in their way, jumping through stone platforms, and traversing through water but Raptor Heartless appear and attack but they defeat the Heartless and keep going through the cave until they find something and it's what looks like white food.

"That's gotta be that White Grub Tub." Sora said.

"Great, let's take some and give it back to Tricky's mom." T.J. said as they take the White Grub Tub.

The group later get out of the swamp and make it back to the cave to find Tricky and Queen EarthWalker and they feed her the White Grub Tub.

"Thank you all." Queen EarthWalker said.

"It was nothing." Ky said.

"No, you have saved my son and saved me. Thank you all so much." Queen EarthWalker said.

"Okay, enough with the thanks. Now, I need you to help me. What's going on here?" Fox asked.

"This all the work of General Scales. He is the ruler of the SharpClaw Tribe. They are a nasty bunch of pirates, who have always wanted to take over Dinosaur Planet." Queen EarthWalker said.

"That's awful." Noel said.

"We have always been able to stop his attacks, but this time, he has gotten stronger with the help of someone wearing crimson with black stars and those horrible monsters and together, they have defeated our army at the Krazoa Palace." Queen EarthWalker explained.

"Crimson with black stars?!" Zatch asked shocked.

"The Brotherhood!" Ky said and everyone nods.

"So, how did this planet get in such a mess?" Fox asked.

"Within the Kazora Palace, General Scales has broke the seals of the Force Point Temples." Queen EarthWalker said.

"And?" Donald asked.

"This planet is rich with a magical force, a force so strong that it is continually pushing our world apart." Queen EarthWalker said.

"How do we stop it?" Sly asked.

"Four SpellStones were placed inside the Force Point Temples." Queen EarthWalker said.

"That's weird, but I understand." Fox said.

"With the seals broken, Scales was able to enter the temples and removed the SpellStones. With nothing to hold back the magic force, the planet has fallen apart." Queen EarthWalker said.

"So, this bad guy, General Scales stole the SpellStones, your planet's in pieces, and now..." Max stops talking.

"WE gotta find all the SpellStones and bring them back to the Force Point Temples." Fox said.

"See, Mom. Told you they were good." Tricky said.

"My son will remain with you, for only a dinosaur of noble birth can breathe life into the SpellStones." Queen EarthWalker said.

"But, isn't he...young...?" Sora asked.

"Speak for yourself..." Donald said.

"Hey!" Sora said.

"There're a lot of Black Xetis and Heartless out there, and that guy in crimson with black stars, well, he's very dangerous!" Ky said.

"But he does know the planet well, and if I'm not mistaken, Ky, you're still trying to find your lost friends, who could be on different parts of the planet." Queen EarthWalker said.

"That's true." Ky said.

"Okay, Tricky, but stay with us, okay?" Noel asked.

"You got it!" Tricky said.

"But if you mess one thing up, you're going back to Mommy." Fox said.

"Our spies have indicated that Scales was last seen in DarkIce Mines. I know the Gatekeeper, Garunda Te. He's a silly fellow, but he can guide you to the SpellStone. Go to SnowHorn Wastes and find him." Queen EarthWalker said.

"Got it." Sora said.

"Well, we know what to do, let's go." Blaze said and they nod.

"Yeah, great. Let's get on with it." Fox said as they get out of the cave.
