The group walked down one of the academy's many halls, searching for anything that might prove the innocence of Oblina. Random objects were checked under, weapons were raised should enemies strike, and eyes were pealed.

"Man, this is boring," Eddy yawned.

"Not really."

Eddy raised his head. "Who said that?"

Sora and Ed looked from opposite sides of the filthy area. "It wasn't me, Eddy," Ed claimed as if something bad had been done.

"Me neither," Sora added.

"Then who was it?" Eddy raised an eyebrow, backing towards a wall.

"Us," a round and hairy monster stepped out from the shadows. He held his eyes over his head, exposing uncontrollable armpit hairs. His lips were a simple blue, and his nose was bulbous. He placed both eyes in one hand and waved someone over with his free one, "C'mon out, Ickis."

"Okay, Krumm, don't rush me," a short, magenta monster with curly feet stepped out. His large ears looked like those of a rabbit.

And speaking of rabbit, Ed was joyous, "Aww, look at the cute little bunny," he pointed.

"Hey, watch who ya call 'cute'!" 'Ickis' shook a pink with annoyance.

"At talking bunny, too," Ed clasped his hand together, admiring Ickis' every detail.

Eddy palmed his face with a groan. Sora couldn't help but chuckle.

"He doesn't like being called a rabbit," 'Krumm' said calmly. "Moving right along, we wanna help you out with finding evidence."

Sora smiled, "Okay then. It'll make things easier."

"Swell," Ickis nodded. "Krumm and I will search that hall," he pointed a magenta finger in the direction he spoke of. "We'll meet at the doors to the court room later."

"Good luck," Krumm saluted before putting one eye in each hand and running after his bunny friend.

"Wasn't he cute, Eddy?" Ed asked.

"No."

"Let's get searching," Sora told them. "Time is running out."

W-WARP!

And that was when a group of Heartless appeared out of nowhere.

Eddy jumped back, equipping his staff. Sora and Ed equipped their weapons, too.

Against them were five shadows and three soldiers.

"Guess the Heartless are here, huh, guys?" Sora asked as he and the other two backed up into a triangle formation.

"Yup," Ed simply answered.

"Think they'll beat us?" Eddy asked, smirking. He already knew the answer to that.

"Not a chance," Sora replied. "Let's get 'em."

"Feel my wrath!" Ed sliced his shield into the closest shadow, sending it flying into a comrade.

"HAH!" Eddy destroyed a shadow with a fire spell.

Sora swung his Keyblade into a soldier, knocking it back. He was unexpectedly kicked in the side by another spinning soldier. He didn't have to react, because Eddy disintegrated the dark fiend with a fireball.

Sora smiled and gave Eddy and thumb's up. Eddy's eyes widened, he jumped, and let loose another fireball. Sora ducked in time to see a leaping shadow killed by the magical attack.

Meanwhile, Ed was busy whacking away with his shield. Ed held the metal defender up and blocked a leaping shadow, followed by punching it so hard, that it flew into another Heartless--which had just solidified--killing both of them.

It wasn't long before all the Heartless were gone.

"Whew," Eddy removed his cap and rubbed his scorching scalp, "some fight, eh?"

"All it did was slow us down," Sora said with a stiff lip. "We need to prove Oblina's innocence before time runs out."

"Relax," Eddy said with his pink hands raised after putting his cap back on, "there's plenty of time to save the zebra-candy cane thing."

"Hey, guys! Look at me!"

They looked.

Ed had a discarded Heartless antenna sticking out of his right nostril awkwardly. "I'm maturing…," he bit his lip with a grin.

"Oh, for the love of…," Eddy slid his hand down his face yet again. "Get rid of that before your big heart gets taken."

"I doubt having an antenna up your nose can turn you into a Heartless," Sora said, leaning on his Keyblade. "And I think that could qualify as evidence," he explained.

"What?" Eddy gestured towards Ed, "Having Ed stick an antenna up his nose and show it to those freaks?.!"

"Actually, just show them the antenna," Sora approached Ed and pulled the black thing out.

"OUCH!" Ed rubbed his nose. He then performed his trademark laugh.

"Let's take this back to the Gromb--"

W-WARP!

This time, another batch of Heartless appeared. These were another type.

They were hovering in the air with a red hourglass shape. They wore some kind of 'hat' that was long and hooked at the end. Between the 'hat' and body, one could see a black head with yellow eyes. Bird-like feet hung under them, and the Heartless emblem was seen in the centre of their bodies. They were none other then red nocturnes.

There were only three of them. Perfect.

"Take this!" Eddy used a fire attack before Sora and Ed could ready their weapons.

The fireball hit one of them dead on, but was deflected back to the mage.

POW!

"ERF!" Eddy fell backwards, alive, but smoking. "I'm done…," and he was out like a light.

"Looks like it's up to us, Ed," Sora said to his friend.

"Yeah!" Ed held a fist up. "Let's get--!" A fireball flew and hit him just like Eddy. However, Ed wasn't knocked out.

"HIII-AAAGH!" Sora leapt at the nearest Heartless, whacking away at it with his Keyblade.

The red enemy had no time to react, and was destroyed.

Sora ran for the other one.

Meanwhile, Ed was battling with another red nocturne.

The red fiend shot a ball of fire. Ed deflected with his shield. He stumbled back clumsily, regained his balance, gasped, and ducked another fireball with his shield over his head. He let out a roar, and threw his shield like a frisbee. It was a bull's-eye as the red nocturne didn't escape in time.

Ed sauntered, bent over, and picked up his shield.

Sora landed in a crouch besides him, having killed the other Heartless. He exhaled, "Wow, that was cool…,"

"Uh huh," Ed nodded with a smile.

"Ugh…," Eddy sat up. His body was no longer black; instead, it was covered in ticktacktoe symbols.

"How did you--?"

"Cartoon stuff, Sora," Eddy cut him off. He stood up and dusted himself. "Nice that you got rid of those Heartless. Now," he held up a finger, "let's get back to the courthouse and get this over with." He began walking.

Sora and Ed caught up with him.

"Think Ickis and Krumm found any evidence?" Sora inquired.

"I doubt it," Eddy answered.

"Maybe, they also matured," Ed suggested.

W-WARP!

More Heartless appeared out of nowhere.

"Aw, not again!" Eddy hollered.

"I'm not scared!" Sora got his Keyblade out and held it ready. "Let's get………..them?"

He stopped when he realised he was all alone.

When he looked behind him, he saw Ed and Eddy running away.

The Heartless got closer.

"Okay, forget it!" Sora spun on his heel and ran after his team mates.

K-K-K-K-K-K

Ickis paced to and fro with his hands behind his back, slightly slouching forward. Krumm leaned against the door, his hands held up high as usual. Besides him, there was a helmet.

"Where could they be?" Ickis asked, arms spread out.

"Relax, Ickis," Krumm said calmly. He put both of his eyes in the same hand so he could rub his nose. "They look like they're up for it."

"I just want Oblina to be safe," Ickis mumbled sorrowfully. "She's part of the group."

"We're here!" Sora ran up to them. He screeched to a stop on the dirty floor. He leaned over and panted.

Ed and Eddy caught up and panted as well. Ed sat down, and Eddy clutched his heart.

"What's going on?" Ickis inquired with a cocked eyebrow.

"We…found…..some…..evidence," Sora panted, weakly holding up the antenna for the monsters to see.

"Uh……huh," Ickis nodded. "So did we."

"Yup," Krumm showed them the soldier's helmet.

Sora, Ed, and Eddy crowded around the head article to see.

"How'd you get it?" Eddy inquired.

"Simple, really," Krumm smiled for no real reason.

K-K-K-K-K-K

"……and that's the plan," Krumm finished his explanation as him and Ickis walked down a hall.

"I dunno, Krumm," Ickis said nervously. "Think we can come up with something else?"

"No time," Krumm halted and put his arm around Ickis' neck in order to stop him. "Look."

A lone soldier Heartless was walking down the hall. Luckily, it hadn't spotted the two monsters.

"Let's do it," Krum whispered from the shadows he had pulled Ickis into.

The rabbit-like monster sighed, "If you say so."

The soldier walked closer. It teetered clumsily, but kept its footing.

"HEY, YOU!" a shrill voice called.

The dark thing looked.

Ickis stood in the middle of the hallway. "Come 'n get it," he gestured the soldier over by spanking his rear.

The Heartless ran towards him, bearing its claws.

Ickis gulped.

"Incoming!" Krumm came out of nowhere and bumped into the soldier, knocking it of its feet. The Heartless flew and collided with a wall, creating a loud WHAM!. Krumm ran up to it, grabbed its helmet, and sprinted away as fast as his short legs could carry him. "Let's go, Ickis!"

"Coming!" Ickis didn't look back.

K-K-K-K-K-K

"And that's what happened," Krumm finished.

"Well, good work then," Sora congratulated them. "Let's prove your friend innocent."

"I'm with that," Ickis gave a magenta thumb's up.

"Right this way then, ladies and gentlemen," Ed held the door open for them.

"Nice doorman impression, Ed," Eddy said with a chuckle. "Preparing for your future job, are you?" he walked in.

Sora followed, holding the antenna in one hand. But Ickis stopped him. The Keyblade Master looked at them strangely.

"You've been such a help to us, that we wanted to give you this," Krumm explained. "Also, give it to your pink loudmouth friend. I think he's capable as well."

With that, the short monster gave Sora the magic spell Blizzard.

"Wow, thanks, guys," Sora simpered. "I have no idea what to say."

"Just get in their and help us get our friend back," Krumm stated.

"Gotcha," Sora headed on inside.

Ickis and Krumm entered, the former with the helmet under his arm.

Ed walked in with his head up and eyes closed.

K-K-K-K-K-K

"It's about time you arrived," was the first thing they heard from the Gromble. "You took so long, that practically everyone left." He gestured with a gloved hand towards the public seats……..which were all empty.

The only ones here were the Snorth, Zimbo, and, of course, Oblina in the cage.

"Let the court continue," the judge said.

Ickis, Krumm, Ed, and Eddy sat in the jury section. The Snorch stood by them, glaring. Zimbo stood in the yellow monster's shoulder.

"Bring forth the evidence!" the Gromble hollered, shaking his gable.

Sora tossed the two pieces of evidence in front of the podium. Something strange happened; they were in the form of boxes. There was no real explanation for this, though. It was just weird.

"Hm, that's not enough," the Gromble was not the least bit impressed. He tossed a box of his own that looked just like the other two. "Now, THAT'S evidence."

Then, they all shifted positions with incredible speed.

Sora cocked an eyebrow.

"Checking them all would be a waste of time," the Gromble said. "Pick one."

"What?.!" Sora was in disbelief.

"That's crazy!" Eddy screeched from his seat. He was about to get up, but the Snorch placed a threatening palm on his shoulder.

"After going through all the trouble of searching?.?.?" Ickis hollered.

"This is mutiny!" Ed pointed.

"Oh no….," Krumm saddened.

"DO IT!" the Gromble was suspended in midair as he yelled this. "Or else it's off to Antarctica with her!"

Oblina's big lip quivered as she waited.

Sora sighed and picked a random box without giving it any thought.

"Are you sure?" the Gromble squinted from his higher location. "You won't get a second chance."

"I'm sure."

The box opened by itself, revealing a soldier Heartless. It disappeared.

The Gromble's eyes widened, "Wh-What was that?.!"

"There's your evidence!" Sora yelled at him. "Now let Oblina go!"

"No way, outsider!" the Gromble shouted with an infuriated red face. "The rules clearly state that whoever contradicts me is GUILTY!"

"That's not fair!"

The Gromble snapped his fingers.

The public seats rotated in place and went upside down, revealing nothing but dirty floor. Zimbo flew towards Oblina's cage and covered with a red sheet. The Snorch grabbed Ickis and Krumm and threw them into two new cages that emerged from the walls. The jury seats turned, revealing nothing but wall. Ed and Eddy had jumped off just in time. Sora's podium sunk into the ground.

A crank tower rose from the ground. While hovering, Zimbo turned one of the three cogs. The result was Oblina's cage rising high up. He flew to safety.

The Gromble pointed at the three. The Snorch ran at them, "Nnnr rnrn rnaara aaahhh!"

"We have to free Oblina!" Sora stated, brandishing his Keyblade.

"Gotcha," Ed and Eddy replied at once. They equipped their staff and shield.

Sora sprinted towards the tower and whacked away at it.

The Snorch was upon him, but Ed stopped him by ramming into him, shield first.

"Nnnnraaaah!" the Snorch growled and punched Ed in the head. The boy flew to the side. He wasn't hurt, though.

"HYA!" Eddy used an ice attack on the monster.

"AAAGH!" the Snorch screamed as his foot was frozen in place, immobilizing him.

"Ha ha!" Eddy pointed his staff. "Don't mess with the--YIP!" The Snorch grabbed Eddy by the head squeezing it. The boy's cranium softened like jelly instead of cracking. The yellow monster banged Eddy's body once on his foot. The ice broke and the Snorch hurled Eddy over his head.

Ed stood up and stretched, as if he had been asleep. He then gasped and ducked. Eddy flew over his head and crashed into the wall. Because it was made of garbage, Eddy's head got stuck. He struggled.

"Don't worry, Eddy!" Ed ran to aid him. "I'll save you!"

"MMMMMMMMFFFFFF!" Eddy's voice was muffled.

Meanwhile, Sora was still swiping at the crank tower. He heard a growl of delight. He instinctively jumped backwards in time to avoid a yellow clawed swipe.

"Nnnnnnghh!" the Snorch glared at him with beady eyes.

Sora smirked. "FIRE!" he shot a small ball of fire from the tip of his Keyblade.

"AAAAAGH!" the Snorch hopped on one leg, clutching his burnt foot.

"GET THEM, YOU FOOL!" the Gromble commanded from his seat.

"C'mon, Sora!" Ickis cheered from his cage. "You can do it!"

The Snorch shook of the pain and ran towards Sora.

Sora swung his Keyblade, parrying a blow with the Snorch. The monster stumbled back. Sora performed a three-move combo, sending the big oaf flying.

"Aaaaaaagh!" the Snorch screamed. WHAM! He crashed into Ed's raised shield. Ed jumped over his body to go and help Sora.

Eddy wasn't so lucky. The Snorch grabbed him by his pants leg, pulling him back. "Hey! Hands off!" he hit the creature in the head with his staff.

The Snorch hissed in pain and stood up. He ignored the other two and just kept his focus on Eddy. He swung a fist horizontally.

Eddy ducked the swing, ignited his staff's tip, and singed the monster's other foot.

"AAAAARG!" the Snorch fell on his butt in pain.

"What a baby….," the Gromble muttered.

Eddy jointed Sora and Ed in destroying the crank tower. With their combined efforts, they managed to crack the machine to pieces.

Ickis' and Krumm's cages opened by themselves. Oblina's cage fell from above, the sheet falling off.

It was unbelievable; Oblina was gone.

"What the….?" the Gromble couldn't believe it.

Sora, Ed, and Eddy approached the cage.

"She must have disappeared during the fight," Sora stated.

"But where did she go?' Eddy questioned.

"This is an outrage!" the Gromble's booming voice filled the entire room. "Snorch! Zimbo! Find her at once."

"Nnnng gngngh nnnhhh errhenerheneh," the Snorch said as he walked towards the door.

"The Snorch says 'right away!'!" Zimbo translated as he flew after the beast.

"Nnnngh!" the Gromble removed his wig and exited the podium. He walked towards Sora and pointed a finger, "Never interfere with my court again." And he left the room on his four feet.

"What now, guys?" Ed asked.

"We find Oblina," Sora stated.

"I don't think that's entirely possible," Krumm said as he approached the group.

"WHAT? Why not?" Ickis demanded.

"I think she was taken to another world by the shadows," the monster announced.

"'Another world'?" Ickis remarked. "What do you mean 'another world'?.!"

"Then this was all for nothing?.!" Eddy bellowed with a frustrated face.

"At least we tried," Sora breathed sadly.

"Ed is sad," Ed commented.

"Eddy is peeved," Eddy responded.

"We better get a move on," Sora announced, straightening up. "Back to the Gummi Ship."

"The what?" Krumm inquired.

"It's how we get around," Sora explained, as if he knew the whole vessel's attributes.

"Can we see it?" Ickis asked.

"Sure."

K-K-K-K-K-K

They walked through the dump.

"It should be really close by," Sora's voice sounded funny as he had his nostrils closed to block out the smell.

"I hope so, cuz I can't remember," Eddy's voice sounded just as squeaky.

Ed was unaffected and quietly took up the rear of the group.

W-WARP!

And that was when a single Heartless appeared. It was fat; really fat. Its body was perfectly round and covered in ill-fitting rompers held together with strings. It had a shackle on both wrists that was attached to a small chain. It had black booted feet that curled upwards at the tips of the toes. It wore a helmet similar to that of a soldier, but smaller and wider. In-between the helmet and the body, a shadowed head with yellow eyes could be seen. The Heartless emblem was in the middle of its chest. It was a large body.

Ickis and Krumm gasped and jumped back. Sora, Ed, and Eddy brought out their weapons.

Eddy leapt and swung his staff with all his might……..only to be bounced back by the Heartless' big belly. "What the…?"

The large body slowly walked forward, bent over, jumped, and landed with a shockwave.

Ed and Eddy were hit, but Sora had jumped just in time. He ran to the fiend's back, which was plain, and struck with his Keyblade. "Guys! Over here!"

"Right!" Eddy ran to help.

"Oh….," Ed said stupidly as the large body approached him, "…I see."

The Heartless leaned back, ignoring Sora's swipes and Eddy's fire and ice, and propelled its weight straight forward. Ed didn't come to his senses in time and was launched backwards several feet, crashing into a mountain of rubbish.

"…..gravy….," he moaned.

Now, both Sora and Eddy used magic attacks. Suddenly, the large body began to glow a purple aura while shaking its body madly and erratically.

Sora and Eddy backed away suspiciously.

The large body then tapped its belly and ran straight at them with speed that didn't suit its appearance.

Sora dodge-rolled just in time.

Eddy was frozen with fear.

"HIIII-AAAAGH!" Ed sprinted into…through the large body from out of nowhere, shield first. The enemy disappeared.

"Whew," Eddy whipped some sweat from his brow, "the Heartless just keep getting more annoying."

"And smellier," Ed added with a disgusted face.

Eddy looked around the dump they were in. He sighed, "You wouldn't know smelly if it came and bit you in the--"

"Did you see that, Krumm?" Ickis' screeching voice sounded as the two monsters slid down a hill. "It was amazing!"

"Yup," Krumm could only nod with his blue lips curving into a smile.

"The way you guys beat that thing was so cool!" Ickis told them.

Eddy smiled proudly, "Well, I AM one of the strongest people where I--"

"It was nothing," Sora interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

Eddy blinked, his eyebrows separating from his head again. Upon realising, he clenched his fists and turned red.

"We better get going."

K-K-K-K-K-K

"There it is," Sora pointed.

They were in a very large clearing of rubbish.

"Well," Ickis began with a sweet smile, "guess this is goodbye."

"Thanks for helping us out," Krumm shook each of their hands while keeping his eyes in his left.

"Now, we can take a break while going to the next world," Eddy said with his hands behind his head.

"Yup! I need my beauty sleep!"

"Trust me, Ed. There aren't enough hours in the day for you…"

"Why, thank you, Eddy."

"………………………don't mention it….?"

Krumm chuckled silently. He suddenly found himself looking up. His eyes widened….if that was ever possible. "I don't think it's time to take a break so easily."

Ickis raised an eyebrow, "Why not?"

"Tell ya later," Krumm put both eyes in his mouth, grabbed Ickis by the arm and pulled him away.

"What's up with him?" Eddy asked.

"Um…Eddy?" Ed pulled on his azure T-shirt, pointing up.

"What, Ed?"

SWOOOOOOOSH! Suddenly, a huge black and red thing fell from the sky and landed in the clearing. It then pushed itself off, as if it was in a handstand, flew over the group, and landed on the other side. It straightened itself up, making it extremely tall, but not big. It was also thin. It had four legs on either side of its small torso. Two legs met at one axe-shaped foot. It had red and black shoulder pads. Its long and thin arms were shaped as if they were folded and unfolded in several places. Its head was made of five heads stacked on top on one another, alternating between black and red. They all had the same expression: two tiny, yellow eyes with zigzagged mouths. It juggled two striped batons in its weak-looking hands. It was Trickmaster.

An invisible barrier surrounded the clearing, trapping the three, and blocking them from the Gummi Ship.

"Wow, boy…," Eddy starred upwards with his arms hanging by his side.

"It's so tall!" Ed pointed.

"I don't think it's friendly," Sora brandished his Keyblade just in case.

Trickmaster spun its batons in its hands. It then swung one at the group.

Eddy jumped. Sora dodge-rolled. Ed deflected.

"YOU THINK?.!" Eddy yelled at the Keyblade Master.

"ATTACK!" Sora wasn't listening.

"Come on!" Ed joined in.

"Why am I never listened to?" Eddy wondered before swiping his staff at the fiend's axe-like feet….only to be deflected. "What the?"

"HOOOW!" Ed jumped and hit the torso.

"Do what Ed did!" Sora mimicked, jumping as high as he could to get a strike at the Heartless' torso.

"….right…," Eddy nodded.

"HAA!" Sora swung.

Ed sliced his blade through the air, hitting the thing in the chest.

Trickmaster jolted. Its legs bent, causing it to be lowered to their level.

"HIII-YAAAAAH!" Sora struck the head as hard as he could.

Ed's strength caused the Heartless to move slightly.

Eddy used ice attacks to no end.

Trickmaster stood up, ready to fight again. It swung its baton at Sora, but Ed jumped in the way and blocked the attack. The tall fiend stepped towards Eddy, hitting him square in the chest.

"…..ugh…," Eddy was knocked unconscious.

Sora gasped. He then frowned. With gritted teeth, he hit Trickmaster in its weak spot again. The same thing happened, and the enemy was lowered to their level. Being the only ones active, Sora and Ed attacked the weakened body. Trickmaster stood up straight much quicker than he did before. Its legs stomped into Sora's knees, giving him a minor graze. Ed managed to jump and hit the torso again.

"YEAH!" Eddy was back, punching the air like getting ready for a boxing match.

Trickmaster swung its baton again, knocking both Sora and Ed backwards.

"I got this one!" Eddy sprinted towards the tall Heartless. WHACK! He was struck by both the batons at once and sent flying back. "AAAAAAAAGH!"

A changing Sora dodge-rolled under him. Ed jumped high.

Eddy flew into an old car, unconscious yet again.

Trickmaster had a new move now. Its batons were set aflame from an unknown source. It launched fireballs at Sora, not Ed, though.

While Sora attempted avoiding the projectiles, Ed struck the chest as hard as he could. Trickmaster seemed to notice. It sent a fireball towards him.

"YIIIII-OW!" Ed was hit point blank in the rear. The oaf clutched his buttocks with both hands--even smacking the fire with the shield--and ran circles everywhere. "ED IS ON FIRE! ED IS ON FIRE! ED IS ON FIRE!"

"Well, hold still," Sora tried to aim his glowing Keyblade.

Ed held still, fighting back tears.

Sora extinguished the flames with a Blizzard attack.

"Thanks," Ed smiled at him.

"No problem," Sora replied.

"Excuse me," a fully recovered Eddy said, "aren't you two forgetting something?.!"

A huge fireball was heading straight for them. Ed and Eddy jumped both ways. Sora gulped and held his Keyblade out in front of him diagonally. The fireball disintegrated the moment it made contact with the magical metal.

"Well, waddaya know?" Eddy uttered.

"C'mon, guys!" Ed said. "I think he's almost dead."

"'He'?" Eddy remarked while Sora ran in to help the yellow boy. The pink boy shook it off and ran in to assist.

Trickmaster was lowered yet again. A whack from Ed, an ice attack from Eddy, and a tree-hit combo from Sora were all that were needed to defeat the Heartless once and for all.

Trickmaster stood up one last time, but was too weak to do so. Its legs buckled as it was sent crashing down to the garbage. Its body wilted before a heart emerged from its chest and ascended. The body disappeared just like Guard Armour.

The barrier also disappeared.

"Some fight, eh?" Sora commented.

"……," Ed and Eddy didn't answer.

"Guys?" Sora looked in the direction they were facing. He rubbed his eyes to make sure they weren't deceiving him.

A keyhole-shaped thing had materialised on the surface of one of the mountains of rubbish. It shined at its edges.

The tip of Sora's Keyblade glowed. It jerked forward, resulting in Sora stumbling with it. "Whoa!" the tip powered up, little stars coming towards it. A ling beam shot out and into the keyhole.

C-CLICK!

The shape then vanished.

Sora stood up straight.

"What was that?" Eddy asked them, as if they'd know.

"You hear that?" Sora said. "It sounded like something closed."

A block fell from the garbage. It landed in front of the group.

"A gummi block," Ed stated.

"I'll hold onto it," Eddy picked it up and put it in his pocket.

"And I thought they kicked butt before," Ickis said.

"GAH!" Sora and Eddy jumped in surprise.

"Hiya, bunny!" Ed waved.

Ickis ignored him and turned his attention to Sora with his hands on his hips, "You guys really know how to defend yourselves."

"Too bad we didn't find Oblina," Sora saddened.

"Aww, cheer up, Sora," Ed put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"As I said earlier," Krumm began as he came near the group, "Oblina's been taken to another world."

"He's probably right," Eddy rubbed his chin. He came up with, "Let's go back to the Gummi Ship. We might find her somewhere else."

"Yeah… Let's go," Sora said seriously.
