I noticed that this story is getting several hits, but no reviews. It's okay to review, y'know. It won't kill you. Go ahead and read, then review.

Plankton aimed his shotgun at Sora, and fired.

Sora dodge-rolled to the side just in time.

"RAAAAAGH!" the two-legged shark ran through the group on its hind legs. It stopped in the centre with a skid.

Ed and Eddy went from their left. Sora and Spongebob went from their right. Sora jumped and used an aerial combo to knock the shark back a few feet.

Spongebob managed to jump on the back and smack Plankton's robot almost to the point of falling off. Plankton aimed behind him with his shotgun and fired. Spongebob had already ducked. He was launched off when the shark jumped up and landed with a shockwave.

Ed threw his shield like a Frisbee, striking the monster in the mouth.

"Good shot, Ed!" Eddy complemented, distracted. The shark flattened him with the palm of its hand. "……….ow…." a flattened Eddy said right before falling in unconsciousness.

"RAAAAAAUUUUGH!" the shark ran in Sora's direction.

The spiky-haired teen gasped.

"HI-YAH!" Spongebob landed near him, and winked. He concentrated and did a horizontal spin, balancing on his gloved finger. He spin-topped right into the shark, causing it to stumble.

"AAAAA-OOOOO-GAAAAAH!" Ed screamed as he jumped. He shield connected with Plankton's robot, knocking him right off.

"AAAAAA--OOOOFFFF!" Plankton landed in the sand, face first.

"Spongebob!" Sora yelled. "You go and heal Eddy! Ed, take care of that shark!"

"Gotcha!"

"Okey dokey."

They separated.

At the moment, the shark was knocked out, its black eyes probably spinning. Ed smacked his shield to and fro into the creature's face, jerking it, but not waking it. Suddenly, it did awake, and it wasn't pleased. It backhanded Ed right in the belly, causing him to leave his impression on the sand he hit.

The shark directed its attention to Sora, who was battling Plankton. It stood on its hind legs with its arms apart, ignoring the newly revived Eddy's weak whacks at it. Its eyes glowed and released two twin laser beams that traveled at an annoyingly slow rate.

"SORA! LOOK OUT!" Spongebob yelled.

"I'M A LITTLE BUSY RIGHT NOW!" Sora said while striking the Exobot's every part.

Spongebob sprinted. He managed to get to one beam and deflect it. There was one more.

"AAAGH!" Sora was hit in the shoulder.

"SORA!" Spongebob used a healing kelp to close the wound.

"HA-HA!" Plankton aimed his shotgun. He didn't fire, because Ed's flying shield hit him in the back.

"No way, mister!" Ed shook a finger as he ran.

"Hey, where's Eddy?" Spongebob looked around.

"Over there!" Sora pointed.

"Easy there," Eddy made the most pathetic simper. "I don't wanna hurt you…" the shark got closer, baring its sharp teeth. Eddy crouched and put his hands over his helmet, "Please don't steal my heart!"

"RAAAAAAGH!" the shark roared in pain as Sora struck it in the gills with his Keyblade.

The Keyblade Master landed besides Eddy.

"…"

"…"

They starred at one another, trying to read the other's mind. They heard the shark growling.

"…," Sora's mouth curved upwards on its right side in a lopsided grin.

"…," Eddy was no different.

They both shared a nod, forgiving one another for acts they couldn't remember, nor care about. They just ran to attack the recovering shark Heartless.

"Grab my arm!" Eddy yelled as they ran, holding out his left limb.

"What for?" asked Sora with a smile.

"I want you to throw me at him!"

"It's a crazy idea…but nowadays, everything's possible!" Sora put his Keyblade in his left hand, grabbed Eddy's pink arm, and threw him with all his might. He was amazed that he could throw someone so easily, like a plastic dummy.

"YAAAAAGH!" Eddy let out a warcry before having his helmeted head collide with the shark's nose.

WHAM!

"RAAAAGH!" the shark rubbed its nose pathetically.

"YAAH!" Sora hit it upside the chin with his Keyblade.

Meanwhile, Ed and Spongebob were doing battle with Plankton.

Ed swung his shield.

Plankton blocked with his shotgun. His robot spun on its heel and struck Ed on the helmet with the gun.

"Ouch…..!" Ed fell on his butt.

Spongebob ran, slid on his squared rear, and attempted to trip the robot. Plankton made it jump backwards. Spongebob jumped in his direction and, while suspended in midair, kicked as many times as he could. Plankton used the robot's arms to block, and then smacked the sponge with the butt of his shotgun.

Spongebob fell to the ground. Ed jumped over him and continued to battle.

On the other side of the sandy clearing…

The shark slapped its palm down. Sora dodge-rolled out of the way, and held his Keyblade up, poking the monster in the belly. It jumped several feet away.

Eddy ran towards it. The shark simply whacked him away and sent him flying when he got close enough.

Sora ducked under Eddy's flying body.

"Now, you die!" Plankton hollered, aiming down at Spongebob. He was cut off when Eddy flew directly into him.

"Eddy, are you okay?" Spongebob asked.

"Nnnngh!" Eddy fought with Plankton's Exobot. "I'm fine! Help Sora!"

"Okay," Spongebob ran to assist.

"Ed, where are you?.!" Eddy exclaimed, being overpowered.

"Over here Eddy," Ed had just finished healing himself with what was perhaps his last potion.

"HELP!" Eddy bellowed.

The shark put its hands together, charging up some sort of attack. A blue ball of energy flew from them.

Sora side-stepped just in time.

Spongebob flew in and hit the shark in the eye. The monster was getting more and more annoyed…..but also tired.

"I think I can handle it from here," Spongebob told Sora. "You should go and help with Plankton."

A second passed, and Sora nodded, "Right."

Spongebob faced the shark, which growled, ready to pounce.

"Just you 'n' me now," the yellow, squared sponge said, raising his gloved hands.

"RAAAAGH!"

Plankton was going downhill from then on. Sora joined the group, and he was defeated in three simple moves.

Ed pushed him from his robot's belly.

Sora parried his robot's strike with the shotgun, grinned, and raised his Keyblade. The gun was taken with it and sent flying elsewhere. Sora stabbed the robot in the chest, revealing some dancing wires and circuitry.

Finally, Eddy went low, twirled his staff, and tripped him.

Plankton's robot fell on its butt. The driver frowned and commanded the machine to get up. It produced another gun from out of nowhere and was about to aim…….when Plankton heard something. He turned around to see his shark comrade convulsing in pain and defeat, thanks to Spongebob's final hits. It began to teeter.

Plankton's eye widened. "AAA--!" was all he could say…before he was crushed by the Heartless shark. The shark glowed, and disappeared. The only thing left was a glowing blue heart-shaped thing, which took to the 'sky'. Plankton and his robot was nowhere to be seen.

"Is he….?" Sora began.

"I think so," Spongebob said, knowing his question.

"Hey, look," Eddy pointed at the steep walls.

"Meow….. Meow…… Meow….. Meow…. Meow……..," several snails crawled into the clearing.

"…..don't see that every day," Eddy mused.

"WAIT!" Spongebob exclaimed. "I think they want us to follow them!"

"How can we?' Eddy gestured at where they were. "We're trapped."

And that was when a rope flew over one of the edges. A snail was near it, probably the one which had thrown it. "Meow…"

"It says 'come on'," Spongebob removed his gloves and helmet, and followed the mollusk.

Ed went after him silently.

"How can he understand snails?" Eddy thought aloud.

"Beats me," Sora answered. "Let's go."

K-K-K-K-K-K

They strolled inside a cave, in which, now mater how deep they went, could see quite well. The walls, floor, and ceiling were covered in thick slime. The group was followed by a large number of snails.

"This is said to be the snails' nest," Spongebob said. "It goes right through Snail Hill."

"How charming…," Eddy muttered.

"Isn't it, though?.?" Spongebob heard him, and misunderstood the sarcastic comment.

They stopped at a dead end. There was nothing special to gawk at.

However…

A particular space on the wall was beginning to brighten with every second.

"Heart…," Spongebob hummed.

"Huh?" Sora looked at him strangely.

"Everyone shares the same heart," the sponge blurted out. "Plankton lost his heart, I think. So…., no heart….no friends."

Sora sighed. He looked down at Eddy, "Sorry about…what I said before."

"No problem, kid," Eddy answered. He shook the other one's hand, "I'm sorry, too."

"Aaaaaah," Ed sighed, placing his hands on both of their shoulders. "All for one, huh?"

The brightened spot suddenly took the shape of a keyhole, just like the one in the garbage dump. This time, Sora knew exactly what to do. He held the Keyblade forward. Its tip glowed, powering up, absorbing little stars, which came from nowhere. A single blue beam shot out from the tip, into the keyhole.

C-CLICK!

The keyhole then dematerialised.

A small item fell at the group's feet.

"A gummi," Eddy stated. He sighed in disappointment, "But I don't think Double D would use this model."

The snail he saw in the Chum Bucket rubbed against his leg.

"Gary!" Spongebob squealed with a smile. "There you are! Oh!" he smirked. I think someone has a new admirer…," he referred to Eddy.

Everyone, except for Eddy, of course, laughed.

The short, pink boy blushed, "Get this thing away from me--AAAGH!" it crawled up his leg.

Everyone laughed harder.

K-K-K-K-K-K

Elsewhere…

Four of the villains stood around the same table as before. They were surrounded by darkness.

"What drew the Heartless to that world?" the Skeleton King asked.

"The plankton lured them there," Judge Doom answered, both gloved hands resting on the head of his cane. "It was his lust for power that was the bait," he explained, "…but the bait was too tasty for his own good."

"Heh-heh," Rancid chuckled. "Yeah, he got squished instead."

"A weak-hearted fool such as himself stood no chance against the Heartless," the Skeleton King added, clutching his long staff. "But the child is a problem. He found one of the Keyholes."

"Fear not," Doom smiled.

He waved his black cane over the table, causing a hologram to appear out of thin air. Sora's walking group was displayed. The hologram illuminated the faces of the ones watching it.

"He may be strong, but it will take him ages to find the rest." He adjusted his glasses, "Besides, he remains blissfully unaware of our other plan."

"Yes…," Him nodded, "……the princesses."

"They are falling into out hands…..claws….paws….and pincers, one by one…."

Oblina showed up against the wall, shivering in fear.

Doom smirked in her direction, "Speaking of which…"

I really don't want to do this, but unless I get at least two reviews for this chapter, I won't update. And I don't want the kind of reviews telling me, 'Okay, I'm reviewing. Now, update!', but the kinds that are actual reviews….. You know what I mean. I want to know what the readers think. R&R.
