"SICK 'IM, ED!" Eddy pointed with his staff at Guard Armour.

"GOT IT, EDDY!" Ed charged with his shield.

Eddy followed.

Sora watched from a distance.

Guard Armour's hands spun while everything else kept in place.

"DAH!"

"OW!"

Ed and Eddy hollered in pain, but kept attacking the feet.

CLANG! CLINK! CLOONK!

Ed smacked his shield as hard as his unnatural strength would allow him.

Eddy changed his mind and shot fireballs at the torso.

Sora swallowed and ran to help them. He jumped and sliced away at the left hand. Suddenly, the arms 'separated' from the torso independently. Ed and Eddy didn't seem to notice, because the feet were stomping at them.

Sora kept the hands as the target. He jumped at them. They curled into fists and flew his way.

Sora gasped and side-stepped. A hand landed right besides him. It flicked him with a sharp finger.

"OOF!" Sora went flying and collided with a wall. He dizzily rubbed his head.

The hands returned to the torso, and spun into the other two.

Ed held onto his cone/helmet with one hand, and used the shield in the other to deflect the punch that was being sent at him. Guard Armour jolted backwards awkwardly.

"HAAA!" Eddy shot fireball after fireball from his staff.

BOOM! One of the arms exploded.

Eddy smirked and blew out the smoke from his staff, "If ya can't stand the heat, then get outta the--" He was cut off when the remaining fist struck him in the head, knocking him unconscious.

"Don't worry, Eddy!" Ed said, ducking a slice from the remaining hand. He used a potion and healed his partner.

Sora noticed something from afar: the legs were gone. A clanging to the left told him why. Guard Armour's feet were walking towards him without a body. He ran to avoid them.

"AAAA-OOOOOO-GAAAAAAHH!" Ed flew out of nowhere and landed coned head first into the left ankle, causing it to explode.

"Whoa…," Sora was amazed.

"Watch it, kid!" Eddy yelled, doing battle with a flying purple fist.

"Huh?" Sora turned around, but it was too late. Guard Armour's main torso was acting as a spinning top. It hit him right in the back. "AAAGH!"

The fist and leg returned to their master. Apparently, Guard Armour behaved as if nothing happened.

As before, Ed and Eddy went for the foot.

The arm spun again before disappearing and going after Sora. He managed to deflect its punch, temporarily immobilizing it. He hacked away at the metal while it was still down.

One final three-sixty made the metal body part explode.

"Three down, two do go," Sora panted as he went to help the others.

Eddy used fire. Ed used his shield. The foot kicked them. Eddy--due to his lightness--flew over a ducking Sora's head.

Ed winced with a frown. "You shall pay!"

Sora joined him in attacking the foot. With their combined efforts, it exploded.

All that was left was Guard Armour's torso. It may have been losing, but it didn't look it would give up without a fight. So, it spun like a tornado, causing everyone, except Ed, to be pushed back.

"Take this, you evil doer!" Ed jumped and whacked at the Heartless emblem.

Sora and Eddy scrambled to their feet. The former ran to help; the latter shot more balls of fire from a distance.

"HAAAAGH!" Sora did an upper cut to the head. "HAAA-GH!" a kick to the torso. "HIIIIII-AAAAAAAAAGH" and a final blow to both.

Guar Armour's torso and head shook as if it was going to explode. Instead, the head stopped hovering and fell off the body and onto the ground with a loud clang. A white, heart-shaped thing flew out of the still floating torso's neck and up to the sky. The remaining body parts simply disappeared.

"Is it dead?" Eddy asked, lowering his staff.

"We did it, Eddy!" Ed dropped his shield and gave the short boy a suffocating hug.

K-K-K-K-K-K

The pillars had lowered, leaving the Third District in its natural state. Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith stood near the stairs, watching Ed, Eddy, and Sora talk.

"So, you were looking for me?" Sora asked, pointing a thumb at himself.

"Uh huh," they replied in unison.

"They too have been searching for the wielder of the Keyblade," Leon said as he stepped towards the group.

"Why don't you come with us in our ship?" Ed asked Sora. "We can go to other worlds with it."

"What he said," Eddy jabbed a thumb towards the oaf. "We came here from our world."

"I wonder if we can find Riku and Kairi," Sora looked down in slight sorrowfulness.

"Sure we can!" Eddy punched the air to his left with his right fist.

"Are you sure, Eddy?" Ed asked.

Eddy pulled him down to his level and whispered in his ear, "Who knows? But we need him to come with us to find Double D."

"Sora, go with them," Leon said. "Especially if you want to find your friends."

"Yeah…I guess," Sora replied, still a little unhappy.

"However," Eddy raised a finger. "There are a few rules you have to follow."

Leon rolled his eyes.

"Rules, Eddy?"

"Yes, Ed, rules." He cleared his throat, "No singing. I hate it when we're in the middle of an adventure, and someone sings!" To signify the second rule, he held out two fingers, "No angst. Please, no angst! On the way here, I watched some Anime--y'know, cuz we can do that now--and was really pissed at the annoying angstiness! And finally….," he looked at Sora seriously, "…..no frowning or sad faces. Understand?"

"Yeah," Ed grinned wide, exposing his gums, "you gotta look funny; like us!"

"According to the rules," Eddy began with a disgusted face, "…this boat runs on happy faces."

"'Happy'?" Sora remarked.

Ed and Eddy waited.

Suddenly, Sora's face shot up towards them with the biggest, widest (but still human anyway) grin he could manage. He let out a constant 'EEEEEEE' as he did this. His cheeks burned from strain.

Yuffie and Aerith let out schoolgirl giggles.

Leon tried to fight a smirk.

Sora's face faltered.

Ed and Eddy held onto each other for balance as they laughed. "AH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

"That's one funny face!" Ed pointed a yellow hand.

"Okay, I'll go with you guys," Sora said normally.

"Eddy," he put his hand forward.

"My name is Ed," and so did he.

"And I'm Sora," he rubbed his nose and put his gloved hand forward.

Ed began, "All for one and one for--AAAAAAAAGH!"

"OH MY GOD!" Eddy retracted his hand.

Sora gasped and pulled his back, too.

Leon and the others jumped.

"Y-Your h-h-h-h-hand…..," Eddy pointed.

"My hand?" Sora frowned. "What about yours?.!"

"Hey, you're the one with the extra finger!" Eddy pointed.

"It's so scary," Ed agreed, hiding behind Eddy.

"You guys are missing a finger! Two of them!"

"No, we're not!"

Leon rolled his eyes. Yuffie and Aerith laughed.

K-K-K-K-K-K

Elsewhere, five figures stood around a table in a dark chapel. On the table, there was a hologram of Leon explaining something to Sora, Ed, and Eddy.

"That little KID actually took down the Heartless," a one of them said. He resembled the silhouette of an average man smoking a pipe. That's all he was: a black figure. Father narrowed his yellow eyes, "Who'd have thought it?"

"Such is the power of the Keyblade," a tall one said. The long cape on his back was a deadly black. His legs were thin and widened into boot-shaped feet. His arms resembled that of a robot; they looked mechanical, complete with ball bearings. Red covered his feet, forearms, and sharp claws. His torso was questionable; one could see organs through the outer layer. He wore a belt buckle with the letters 'SK'. In the centre of his chest, there was a small sphere with a red 'button'. In his right hand, he held a long staff. His neck was thick and even segmented robotically. Horns (wings?) were on the sides of his squared head. His eyes were solid-black….except for two tiny red dots. "The child's strength is not his own," the Skeleton King said with a rasp.

"Why don't we turn him into a Heartless?" a third one suggested with two voices at once. It was a mystery whether it was male or female. Its body was red. Pointy, pixie-like ears were at the sides of its head. It wore black, thigh-high boots, and yet, it also had a black goatee. It grinned like a Cheshire Cat, with pincers for hands. "That should settle things quick enough," Him hummed.

"And the brat's friends are also the smart Earther's associates," an alien spat. The only part of its body that was organic was its green, red-eyed, squid-like head. The rest of his body was mechanical. "They all look like pathetic excuses of evolution in my eyes!"

"You're not so perfect either, Gorrath," a green, beady-eyed, blue business suit-wearing, big nosed, anthropomorphic rabbit said before laughing.

"Silence, Rancid!" Gorrath held a robotic fist to his face.

"Enough!"

Everyone looked.

"The Keyblade has chosen him," black gloves, black boots, black clothes, black top hat, black cape, black bowtie, black spectacles, and a black cane.

He was the only one of the six who wasn't animated. He was an average human being.

"Will it be he who conquers the darkness?" Judge Doom asked without wanting an answer. "Or will the darkness swallow him? Either way, he could be quite useful."

"How can a simple human do anything?" Gorrath barked. "He's not even a cartoon!"

"Quite true, my extraterrestrial friend," Doom approached the reserved spot of the circle. "However, looks can be deceiving. You of all present should know that."

"But this one doesn't own the prototype," Gorrath explained.

"Weren't you listening?" Doom leaned on his cane as he said, "He's been chosen."

"But it is not guaranteed that he will succeed," the Skeleton King inputted. "Gorrath does have a point; not everything in cartoons goes with reality."

"Still, we should be cautious," Doom said, adjusting his glasses.

"Why don't we send him into the sun?" Father suggested randomly.

Doom chuckled, "You can do anything you want with him. Despite his position, he's still just a normal person. The Heartless say he has a weak heart."

"If he's the only monkey wrench in our operation," Rancid began, "then this shouldn't be a problem."

"Remember….," Doom pointed a gloved hand at the rabbit, "….looks can be deceiving."

"I'll say," Him folded his arms with a smirk.

Gorrath was about to speak when an engine sounded.

"Ahh, right on time," Doom walked towards the exit.

"Where are you going?" Father asked.

"Nowhere," Doom stopped.

VRRRM!

A black hearse/patty wagon screeched though the chapel and came to a sliding stop. The words 'Toon Patrol' were inscribed on the vehicle's side.

The other five villains left the table and stood behind the Judge.

Five clothed weasels exited the black vehicle. The grey one who was smoking four cigarettes at once was Wheezy. The one in straitjacket with spiky hair and eyes that looked hipnotised was Psycho. The stupid-looking one with his tounge hanging out of his mouth, wearing a T-shirt that was too small, equipped with a bludgeon with a large nail through it, and with a propeller hat on his head was Stupid. The weasel dressed in green, and that had his hair slicked back was Greasy. Finally, the weasel in beige, double breasted suit, with a matching beige zoot hat and pink band--the leader of the five--was Smartass.

"Status report," Doom told him.

"Don't worry," Smartass said. "We's got all the requirements. Ain't that right, boys?"

The other weasels nodded in their own 'special' way.

"Very well," Doom reached into his suit. "Here are the ingredients."

"'Ingredients'?" Gorrath remarked.

"Shhh!" Him hushed him with a pincer to his red face.

"Thanks, boss," Smartass put the piece of paper in hisownsuit. "Real generous of ya." He waved his comrades on, "C'mon, boys. Let's go."

The other weasels headed for the hearse/patty wagon…….

……and Stupid tripped over a poorly placed tile in the floor.

This resulted in the other weasels laughing uncontrollably.

Father put his hands on his hips.

The Skeleton King glared, despising the weasels' stupidity.

Him and Rancid chuckled lightly.

Gorrath rolled his red eyes in annoyance.

Judge Doom bared his white teeth. "Stop that laughing!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" they didn't stop.

The Judge walked over to the nearest one--Greasy--and whacked him in the face with his cane.

The weasel went flying, bounced off the walls, hit the ground, and zoomed towards the other villains.

"Haaa!" with incredible ease, the Skeleton King stopped the weasel's flight with his free hand and allowed him to drop to the ground.

"What did I tell you about LAUGHING?.!" Doom yelled, losing his temper.

The weasels stared silently. The question was probably rhetorical.

"NEVER DO IT! OTHERWISE, YOU'LL END UP DEAD!" Doom then calmed himself down, "Get going."

"Right away, sir!" they all scampered into the vehicle and drove away.

"I'm surrounded by idiots," Doom muttered to himself.

K-K-K-K-K-K

The heroic three stood in the First District. It was still night out, but they had slept for countless hours, exhausted from the fight with Guard Armour.

"Well, I think it's time to go," Eddy announced to his comrades, fiddling with his staff.

"Yeah," Sora nodded. "Where's you ship?"

"It's really cool!" Ed said, using his shield as a steering wheel. "BEEP-BEEP!" he pressed an imaginary horn.

"By the way, I gotta tell you that you might be able to do magic," Eddy said suddenly.

"Really?" Sora cocked an eyebrow. "How?"

"That Keyblade has a high MP storage," Eddy pointed at the weapon in Sora's hand. "I can clearly sense it."

"Say, Eddy," Ed poked his yellow head towards his friend. "How can YOU do magic?"

"Hmm," Eddy thought to himself. "I use this staff Sarah gave me before we left."

"Ohhh," Ed nodded, satisfied with the answer.

"Anyway, Sora, try this spell out," Eddy brought his staff and tapped the Keyblade with it. "Now, you can cast Fire."

A few feet away, Tony watched the group, smiling. "This is definitely gonna be swell. I can see it all now."

"Whoa! I can't wait to--" Sora's excitement was cut off.

"Later, Sora," Eddy whipped around and headed for the main doors. "I'll be waiting at the ship."

Sora looked at Ed as if he'd know the answer to a question.

Ed simply shrugged, and followed.

"Sora."

His legs had barely moved. His brown head looked and saw Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith standing in a neat line near the steps.

"What's up?" Sora asked, walking towards them.

Leon smiled ever so slightly, "We just wanted to wish you luck."

"And give you this," Yuffie tossed him a small bag.

Sora caught it in one hand. He gasped at all the gold pieces that were inside.

"It's the least we can do," Aerith said softly. "Use them as you see fit."

"Thanks," Sora put the money in his pocket. "But you didn't have to--"

"We wanted to," Leon interrupted, folding his arms in front of his chest. "You'll need it."

"I guess I will," Sora had no idea what else to say.

"Well, what're you waiting for?" Yuffie asked with a smirk. "You have a ship to catch!"

"Right," Sora nodded rubbing his nose. He turned and ran. H As he ran, he looked beyond him and waved.

"Goodbye, Sora," Aerith waved back.

Leon and Yuffie were silent.

A few seconds later, a square-like ship flew from behind the walls. A tiny twinkle flashed in the night's sky.

"You guys think he'll do it?" Yuffie asked, doubtful. She didn't look at the oththers. None of them looked at each other. They just stared up.

"I dunno," Aerith said with her hands clasped together, "but I certainly hope they do."

"We can hope all we want," Leon droned. "It's all up to Sora in this case. Heartless are powerful, but so is he."

"We'll just have to find out later, I guess," Aerith said quietly.


Over the months of being an author, I have grown to despise leaving Author's Notes, but this is required heavily. I have a slight problem and need help from some of the readers.

Anyway, my problem is that I don't know which world should parody Deep Jungle. Does anyone have any suggestions? And--please--give me an idea for a parody; not your favourite show. There are certain cartoons I don't watch, so give more than one suggestion. Updates that take place after the Coliseum parody will be postponed until a good idea is given. The one who provides a good show will be thanked LATER. Don't be an egomaniac and ask for it so soon.

If, for some reason, you don't want the suggestion to be public, you can always PM me. And that's that.
