Phantom64: Well I'm finally back ladies and gentleman so lets get started. Since not one girl has sign up for the Phantom Syndicate I'll have to postpone that chapter until I either make an OC or find one from anime, comics or somewhere else. So instead Sora and co. will be heading for another family fun Disney world. Enjoy!
Chapter 19: Of Slackers and Hunchbacks
On a seemingly normal world, two best friends walked down the streets of a seemingly normal town. "I'm telling ya man things have been boring since the Quick Stop reopened. Things just went back to the way they were ten years ago. The two of us hanging outside the Quick Stop, dealing from time to time, rap a little. It's the same S(Bleep!) everyday………..Where the F(bleep!) its that beeping noise coming from? It's like we're on Jerry Springer or something." his buddy simply shrugged and lit a cigarette.
The talkative one was a skinny man with long, blond hair that went to his chest. On his head was a black ski cap. He wore a yellow and black jersey with blue jeans and sneakers. His silent friend was a slightly chubby man with brown hair and a cleanly cut beard. He wore a white baseball cap backwards on his head, a black shirt, pants, white sneakers, and a brown trench coat. They both stopped and looked into an ally way where they saw a golden door with stars outlining it. "Where the hell did that come from?" the one with the ski cap asked. They both walked up to it and studied it. "Maybe it's a back door to a strip club!" the ski caped one said with glee. The silent one said nothing but showed a warning look on his face. "Ah what are you scared of! Come on!" the talkative grabbed his friend and kicked open the door.
"Hey there lovely ladies! Jay and Silent Bob are in the house!" the one with the ski cap exclaimed. Inside they found no strippers or anything. There was nothing but pure darkness. "What the hell-" before Jay could finish, they were sucked into the darkness and the door closed and disappeared.

Sora, Leon, and the others had entered the odd starship that had crashed into the citadel's front gates. They found their way to the bridge of the ship to find a humanoid duck in a blue jumpsuit and a humanoid pig in a purple jumpsuit. The duck jumped to attention at the presence of the intruders, his blaster at hand. "Okay! Who are you, and where are we?" the duck demanded.
"Sir. The safety is still on." The pig whispered to the duck. The duck grinned and clicked the safety off.
"We mean you no harm." Leon stated. "This is Radiant Garden. I'm Leon." The others soon introduced themselves.
"Well Mr. Leon , I am CAPTAIN DUCK DODGERS! THE SOON TO BE HERO OF THE UNIVERSE!" the duck declared proudly. "And this is the cadet."
"Hi there." The pig greeted waving.
"Daffy? Porky? Is that you?" Bugs asked, finally catching up with the group. "It is you! What are you guys doing here?" Dodgers gave him a nasty look.
"Well, well, well. I see what's going on Bugs. You think you're too good to hang with us Loony Toons so you run off to hang with Final Fantasy guys eh? You're despicable." Dodgers muttered.
"Daffy? I thought your name was Duck dodgers." Sora stated.
"You see, Daffy is his real name. But when he's off being Mr. Glory hunter he'll change his name to Duck Dodgers. He thinks it's sexy or something." Bugs explained. Daffy's temper was rising as steam came from his ears. "Daffy is the type who wants it all: money, glory, women, all that life has to offer. So he'll go off and do things like steal a prototype starship…."
" 'Borrowed' starship." Daffy interrupted.
"…..'borrowed' starship and go off half-cocked and try to save the world." Bugs continued.
"That's right you carrot munching big shot! This time around I'm gonna be the one who saves the day. I'm gonna assault Maleficent's stronghold and destroy the Heartless once and for all!" Dodgers declared proudly.
"Do you even know where Maleficent's stronghold is?" Cloud questioned. Daffy was silent for a moment.
"Uh…….not yet but I'll work on that later." Daffy declared. Porky shook his head in shame.
"Say, uh Captain Dodgers? We were wondering if you could fly us to other worlds on your ship so we can fight the Heartless." Sora asked.
"Sorry kid, but I don't give free rides." Dodgers said looking at a control panel.
"Let me handle this." Lance said walking over to the duck. "Dodgers, Dodgers, Dodgers. I don't think you see what's in front of you. Here you have several bright men, women, and several animal/human hybrid people ready and willing to be part of your crew." Daffy's head perked up.
"Keep talking." Daffy said with interest.
"Why right in front of you is the key bearer himself. Have him with you and you'll find Maleficent for sure. Then BAM! You become the hero of the universe!" Lance declared. Dodgers jumped up with newfound courage.
"Captain Duck Dodgers at your service!" Daffy declared proudly. After repairing, upgrading, and restocking Dodger's ship the SS Dodgers, the crew of this ship assembled in front of Dodgers and the Cadet to examine. This crew consisted of Sora, Kairi, Donald, Goofy, Ryo, Stitch, Kim, Ron, Jake, Cloud, Aerith, Tifa, Bugs, Lulu, Hot Shot, Yuffie, Sara, Jachob, and Lance. Robocop slowly walked up to Sora.
"I would like to come with you Sora." Murphy stated.
"Uh, sure Murphy. But do you need any recharging things or something?" Sora asked.
"Well if that means his recharging chair and repairs then I'll have to come along." Said a woman with wild brown hair and a lab coat. "My name is Dr. Marie Lazarus. I was part of the group that created Robocop. We'll need to add his recharging chair along with ammo and replacement guns."
Leon nodded in agreement. "Okay, we'll set that up and then you all have clearance to leave-"
"Wait!" called a man running up to the ship.
'Oh God.' Leon thought rubbing his temples. 'Him again.' The figure was a middle-aged man with graying hair styled like Vincent Price's, a grey beard, a red robe that ended at his waist, black pants, black leather shoes, a cape and a strange amulet that kept his cape on him.
"Who are you?" Kairi asked the man.
"Who am I dear Kairi?" the man asked. "I am DR. BYRON ORPHEUS!" he declared loud and dramatically while dramatic music played in the background. . "But the kids call me Dr. O." he said in a cheerful voice.
"Okay…." Ryo said. "So what can we help you with Dr. O?"
"You see child, I am a Necromancer. My sixth sense has told me that I must come on this journey. I sense dark forces at work trying to cover the universe in darkness. I must come with you."
"What do you think Sora?" Goofy asked his spiky haired friend.
Sora pondered this for a moment. "Well the more the merrier I guess."
"Wonderful! I shall protect all of you young ones with my life!" Dr. O declared. After making all the needed repairs, the ship was now ready to leave….for real this time. They had checked the hangar to see what they had: 5 gummi ships, 1 transforming robot car, 1 police car, 3 Protectorate snub fighters which were in the ship when they found it, and a garage to make all the necessary repairs. Soon everyone was at there assigned posts. Dodgers gave the command. "Blast off!" he declared. The engines roared to life as the SS Dodgers flew off into space ready to travel the worlds.
Leon, Cid, Gramps, and Merlin looked on as the ship flew off. "Well there they go." Cid declared.
"I hope they will be okay." Merlin stated.
"They will be." Leon said to his wisest allies. "Knowing Sora, things should be just fine.
"Indeed." Gramps jerked his head to the left to see a red robed man with horns sticking out of his head. As fast as he appeared the robed figure was gone.
"What's wrong Lao?" Leon asked.
" It seems Dr. Orpheus's senses were correct. Kairi is in great danger." Lao began to hastily walk away.
"Where are you going?" Merlin questioned the dragon master.
"There is someplace I need to be." He then walked back to the citadel.
KH-KH-KH
Sora, Kairi, Ryo, and Lance were hanging out in the hangar. Kairi had a soapy sponge in her hands and was washing Hot Shot in his car form. "Yeah, that feels good." Hot Shot purred as she washed his hood. Kairi giggled at this comment. Sora attempted to help Kairi with washing the Transformer only to be stopped by Hot Shot saying "Whoa there buddy! Sorry, but I don't roll that way. Only certified mechanics or beautiful ladies like your girlfriend here can touch me." Kairi giggled at this.
"Say Lance," Ryo said to the 27 year old warrior. "Care to tell me something?"
"Like?..." Lance asked yawning.
"Like the history of the Dream Warrior like you said you would before our Dream Realm adventure?" Ryo asked annoyed.
"Oh yeah, that……I don't feel like it." He said, all the while casually scratching his bottom.
"Hey man! I want Answers! Now tell me!" Ryo demanded.
"And I'll tell ya when I feel like it!" he snapped. "Here, if you want to learn history so badly here's chapter two of Xehanort's journal." He handed him a small stack of papers. Ryo hastily read the papers, only to find that it was in a language he could not read.
"What the hell is this man?" Ryo yelled. "I can't read this!"
"You're a smart kid. You'll figure it out." Lance said lazily and walked back to his room.
"Geeze, a lot of help he was." Ryo grumbled. Suddenly alarms began to blare and red warning lights glowing brightly. "Attention! Unknown anomalies has been detected in the cargo area!" yelled the robotic computer voice. Sora, Kairi, and Ryo ran out of the hangar and headed toward the cargo bay.

Jay groggily woke up surrounded by crates. He woke up Silent Bob as they heard alarms blaring. "Oh s(bleep!) We've been abducted by aliens!" Jay exclaimed. Silent Bob gave him a worried look as they heard voices coming from outside the door. Jay and Silent Bob looked at each other and nodded. No aliens were gonna take their brain. They scanned the area for weapons. Jay picked up a club while Silent Bob picked up a plunger. Jay looked at his buddy's weapon for a moment then they charged at the alien opponent as it opened the door. "Take this you alien bitch!" Jay yelled binging the club down on the white feathered creature. Silent Bob shoved down with the plunger on it's bill.
"The movie ET didn't fool me for a second!" Jay yelled as he continued to beat the feathered extraterrestrial After much thrusting and beating they stopped to notice the mob of people staring at them. "Hey, you guy's aren't aliens!" Jay exclaimed. Sora and Kairi gaped with confusion. That's when the two former stoners noticed that the 'alien' was poor Donald with bruises all over him and the plunger covering his face.
"So let me get this straight." Daffy began after being debriefed by the others and looking at Jay and Silent Bob. "You two got here from a door in an alleyway that you thought was the backdoor to a strip club."
"That pretty much sums it up." Jay said and Silent Bob nodded in agreement.
"what do you guys think?" Lance asked. Donald, who was now covered in head to toe in band-aids was the fist to object.
"I say toss em' on the next world." Donald growled.
"That's a terrible thing to say!" Sara exclaimed. "Everyone deserves a chance." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Okay, you two can come with us but don't cause any trouble." Sora warned.
"Hey! Trouble is my middle name little man-" Jay was cut off by Silent Bob jabbing him in the side. "Er….I mean Nope! No trouble here! Heh, heh…" Everyone gave them skeptical looks.
"Attention everyone." The Cadet announced. "We are approaching the world of Notre Dame." A world with several buildings and a beautiful cathedral came to view.
"Okay," Sora started. "me, Kairi, Donald, Goofy, Ryo, Stitch, and Jake will be heading down there."
"Hey! Let us come!" Jay yelled and Silent Bob nodded in agree. "Let us prove our worth and all that S(bleep!)." they all looked to find the source of the beep but could not find it. "Man! That is getting really annoying!"
"Okay, you guys can come." Sora said.
"All of you to the teleporter." Cadet ordered.

Notre Dame 20 years ago….
A woman was running silently through the night. She had a small bundle in her arms. She had to find a place to stay. She had to hide before……
"Halt you thieving gypsy!" called a man in prominent robes on a stallion chasing after her. It was none other than Judge Claude Frollo. Frollo despised gypsies. They were considered heretics and thieves. And now he finds one running away with a bundle. Stolen goods no doubt. He would bring this gypsy to justice personally. The female gypsy ran as fast as her legs could take her, Frollo's horse right behind her. She then saw her savior, the Notre Dame. Cathedral. She ran up the stairs of the entrance as Frollo dismounted his horse.
"Sanctuary! Sanctuary!" She screamed banging on the massive doors of the cathedral. "For the love of God Sanctuary!"
"God has no love for your kind gypsy!" Frollo growled as he grabbed the bundle in her hands. "No give me what you stole!"
"Please these are not stolen goods I swear!" She screeched as she played tug-of-war with the judge.
"Enough lies you hell bound wench!" Frollo screamed as he kicked the woman in the chest. She screamed as she hit her head on the stairs. She stood there motionless, blood dripping down the cathedral steps. She was dead. 'serves her right, trying to get away with stolen-' Frollo's train of thought was cut off by crying noises coming from the bundle. That's when it hit him. It wasn't stolen goods. It was a baby. He lifted up a piece of the bundle and jerked his head away in horror and disgust. The baby had a hideously deformed face. The face of an unholy demon! He had to dispose of this monstrous child. He scanned the area and found what he was looking for: a well. The plan was simple. Drop the baby in a well and let it drown . He quickly moved toward the well. He was inches from the well. 'Farewell, child of Satan.' He thought as the doors of Notre Dame burst open. In the doorway was none other than the Archdeacon .
"Frollo! What have you done?" the Archdeacon demanded looking at the site of the dead gypsy, Frollo, the crying baby, and the well.
"Fear not, your holiness, tis' but a lowly gypsy and I was about to kill her deformed child…." Frollo was cut off by the outraged archdeacon.
"That is no excuse Frollo! You spilt blood on the steps of Notre Dame! This is a great sin worthy of being cast down into eternal Hellfire!" the Archdeacon said. "For your actions you MUST care for the child as if it were your own!"
Frollo was outraged. He did not want to care for a hideous child of a gypsy...but he didn't want to burn in eternal Hellfire either. "Very well." He growled. "But he must live in the bell tower of the cathedral so no one would see him. The people would riot at the sight of this child." He stared at the monster of a baby in his arms. "From this day forth, you shall known as Quasimodo."
Fun Fact: Quasimodo means half-formed
Notre Damn present day….
Sora, Kairi, Donald, Goofy, Ryo, Stitch, Jake, Jay and Silent Bob walked though the stalks of people in the town square. There were booths, kiosks, street performers, and other joyous events going on. "They must be having a festival of some kind." Goofy stated.
"You there! Halt!" ordered a couple men in knights armor. "Who exactly are you?" one of them asked eying Donald and Goofy with suspicious eyes. "And what business do you have here?"
"Well uh.." Sora was stumped. This was the first time anyone has ever questioned Donald and Goofy's appearance.
"Why they are here for the festival of course!" declared a man in a purple and yellow jester suit complete with bells and a thin strip mask. "Can you not tell by there masks?" the nights pondered this.
"I suppose you're right gypsy." He cringed saying that. "Sorry for the trouble." The nights walked off.
"Gee thanks. We really owe you one." Sora said to the gypsy. So what's your name?"
"Clopin my dear boy! King of the Gypsies!" Clopin declared joyously.
"Wow. You're a real king?" Ryo asked in awe.
"In the eyes of the gypsies yes." Clopin replied. " But in the eyes of Judge Frollo I am a heretic!" he spat at the name of the judge.
"Judge Frollo?" Kairi asked with interest.
"He's a holy man who despises gypsies. He sees us as thieves and robbers! All lies!" Clopin declared.
"Hey man that's not cool!" Jake declared.
"That's so sad. Having to be blamed for things you did not do. That is just wrong." Kairi said sadly.
"Ay. If only the rest of Paris thought that way." The gypsy king said sadly. "Well you all are friends in my book! Come! Allow me to show you around our merry festival!" he said joyously.
"What exactly is this festival?" Donald asked.
"Why the Feast of Fools my feathered friend!" Clopin yelled excitedly.
"Hear that Lunchbox! A festival for eats and idiots!" Jay said with glee. Silent Bob rubbed his stomach with enthusiasm.

"Ah it's good to be home." Captain Phoebus declared as he rode in on his horse. He was a man with blond hair, beard, gold armor and his sword by his side. "A crusade can sure take a lot out of a person." He joked. He eyed a pair of guards harassing a musical performer. She was a beautiful woman with tan skin, black hair, and exotic dancing clothing. Her goat right next to her.
"Why don't you go back from wherever you came from gypsy?" one of the guards asked coldly.
"We're nomadic, we don't have a home genius." The woman declared sticking her tongue out.
"You miserable wench! We'll teach you to talk that way to us!" the other said, both of them drawing there swords.
"I will handle this men." Phoebus ordered as he dismounted his horse.
"Captain Phoebus!" they both saluted the man. "You're back!"
"Yes And I will take care of this Gypsy personally." He declared. "You all go off and enjoy the festival."
"Thank you sir!" they both saluted and ran off. He then turned his gaze to the gypsy.
"You'd best run off. I have to report to the Palace of Justice." He said smiling
"Thank you." The dancer said. "My name is Esmeralda."
"Phoebus." He said mounting his horse. "Stay out of trouble." He left the gypsy woman and her goat behind and rode on toward the Palace of Justice. ' I see things haven't changed around here.' He thought as he entered the Palace of Justice. People scurried around to do their tasks. In front of him was none other than Judge Claude Frollo. He was an older man with white hair, black and red robes, and a distinguished judges hat.
"Ah Captain Phoebus! You finally return to us!" the Judge declared.
"Greetings Judge Frollo." The captain said bowing. "You wanted to see me?"
"Yes." Frollo replied. "You see this city has a plague. That plague is the gypsy race. They scurry about plotting against the church. "You have been ordered to apprehend ALL gypsies that are criminals."
"In other words all gypsies right?" Phoebus asked rolling his eyes. Sometimes Frollo's bigotry disgusted him.
"Exactly. Gypsies are all guilty in the eyes of God." Frollo declared. "And we shall be the ones to bring them to justice."

High up in the bell tower of Notre Dame Quasimodo looked down with sadness at the festival going on. Another year, another festival in which he would miss. Poor Quasimodo had a disfigured face: one eye was bigger than the other, his nose was propped up like a pigs, and he had many wrinkles and had a hunch in hi back. He wore a green tunic with brown leather boots.
"What's the matter champ?" asked Hugo, a porky stone gargoyle with a pig's nose.
"It's the festival isn't it?" asked Victor, the prominent gargoyle.
"Oh poor child." Said Laverne, the old and only female gargoyle said. "It's not right that you have to stay here all your life."
"I know." Quasi said sadly. All I've done for 20 years has been ringing the bells and making a model of Paris." He said motioning to the model Paris complete with toy versions of the everyday people.
"Come on man! You need to get out of here! Spread your wings and fly!" Hugo declared.
"Rubbish!" Victor said. "That is a terrible idea! You have heard what Frollo has said about down there.
"ah what do you know ya close minded fool!" Laverne snapped at the gargoyle. "Quasi you have to take your destiny into your own hands." The Hunchback began to perk up.
"You're right! I'm going out there and.."
"And do what my boy?" asked Frollo as he came up the stairs. "Stand there and let the townsfolk tear you apart?"
"Ah! Judge Frollo!" Quasi said fearfully, his gargoyle friends had reverted back to statues.
"Quasimodo, you know you cannot go down there." He said as they began to eat the lunch that Frollo had brought. "That city is full of sin, cruelty, and gypsies. They would kill you they second they see your face."
"But how do I know they would do that?" Quasi demanded.
"Because I have seen Lepers and the disabled jeered and insulted! Just think what they would do to you!" Frollo yelled. He soon regained his composure and finished his lunch. "I am only doing this to protect you Quasimodo. I am the only friend you have in this world…me and those gargoyles." He declared looking at the lifeless statues. "Farewell my child." He then left the bell tower. Instantly Hugo, Victor, and Laverne came back to life.
"Man that guy can sure take the life out of a room can't he?" Hugo declared.
"I don't care what he says! I'm going out there and see it for myself!" he donned a cloak and cape and began his decent out of the bell tower from one of the many ropes hanging decorative flags. "I'll see you guys later."
"That's our boy!" Hugo cheered!
"Good luck Quasi." Victor called.
"Our boy has grown up." Laverne declared teary eyed. Quasi slowly made his decent into the festival, and a whole other world….

The great wizard Yen Sid walked through a portal to a world with a transparent Technicolor sky and ground with numbers and words flying in every direction behind the background. Ahead of him were 8 chairs in a circle. Five of them were filled. Yen Sid sat in his gold chair that was decorated with stars and crescent moons. "All rise for roll call." The wizard ordered. The six stood up. "Yen Sid the wizard."
"King Arthur the brave." Said the mighty King Arthur. He was muscular man with long blonde hair, aneatly cut beard, silver armor with a lion's head on his chest plate, and his magical sword Excalibur in it's sheathe at his side. He sat in a silver chair with lion heads adorning the armrests.
"Yoda the Jedi." Said the shortest member of the group. He was an old man with green skin, long, pointed ears, and was wearing white robes and a brown hood and cloak. He had his walking stick next to him. He sat in a round chair that was perfect for his size.
"King Triton the merking." Declared the mighty King Triton, his gold triton in hand. He was in a sea blue chair adorned with seaweed and starfish.
Luong Lao Shi the dragon master." Said the dragon warrior also known as Gramps. He sat in a chair with blue scales on it.
There were still two missing. One chair was shaped with several books while the other was a metallic chair with a transmutation circle on the chair. "Seven there were, now only five." Yoda declared sadly.
"Yes, Ansem the Wise and Hohenheim of Light." King Arthur declared. "One dead, and the other captured by Maleficent."
"But what reason does Maleficent have for kidnapping Hohenheim?" Trident asked. "For his alchemy skills perhaps?"
"Much more to the puzzle there is." Yoda declared. "many enemies, yet very few heroes."
"There is much we need to talk about, but those are not the only reasons I had for calling this meeting." Lao said to the group. " Today I felt the presence of the Horned King." There were several gasps from the group.
"Dear God! That man is still alive?" Yen Sid asked.
"He is neither a man anymore, nor is he living. He is now a monster." Lao declared.
"I see things are worst than we thought." Trident growled.
"In grave danger, young Kairi is if the Horned King is alive." Yoda declared.
"Yes, if I know that monster he's going to finish what he started 13 years ago." Arthur said.
"I see there is very much to talk about." Yen Sid stated as they continued their meeting.
