Kingdom Hearts, Final Hope Chapter 3: Collaboration, a kingdom hearts fanfic

Hahaha! Thanks to all who reviewed! Specifically, angelofsweetness, Liz Hollow, and last but not least, Faermage-KH Junkie!

I made a new discovery today… apparently my local anime channel had replayed this one anime called Gokusen, and I had always been interested in it since I knew it was showing. (I didn't watch it much that time, because I never liked watching a series from the middle) and there was this guy in the anime, a character who looked almost exactly like the Shin in this fanfiction! And not only that, his name was also Shin! So, if you want a better image of Shin, Google 'Gokusen Shin'. You should, however, note a few differences.

1. My Shin is younger, and thus has a more immature/cute face. Just a little cuter than Gokusen Shin.

2. My Shin's hair is neater, since he's kind of one of the model students. Also note that it's shorter!

3. And, my Shin is shorter. What? He's still in his early teens, you know? (Despite his personality and aptitude)

Just imagine Gokusen Shin with all those changes, and Kingdom Hearts worth of drawing, and there you are, Kazuya Shin!

I swear, this was uncalled for! I just started watching Gokusen today! I didn't mean it to happen, but it did! And what freaked me out was that I kept on seeing my Shin as the younger version of Gokusen Shin! (I need to watch less horror movies… where's my 'The Eye' CD?)

P/S: I'M TALKING ABOUT THE ANIME! NOT THE LIVE ACTION! Sure, the Shin in there is kind of hot… but not my Shin's image…. OK, I'll quit my blabbing…

Disclaimer: I believe this phrase is overused, but I do not own Kingdom Hearts… because if I did, all the Shadows will be my minions of evil, helping me to DOMINATE THE WORLD! AHAHAHAHA! WAHAHAHAHA! –ehm- excuse me…

Also, I do not own the name Kurix. I got it from angelofsweetness… SORRY FOR NOT ASKING FIRST!

Preview of Last Chapter: -

"LOOK OUT!"

Before Kazuki knew what was happening, Shin stood in front of him, blood pouring out of his back, staining the blade that had gone through his abdomen.

"SHIN!"

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"SHIN!"

Kazuki couldn't believe the sight in front of him. His longtime friend, Shin, had a blade struck through his body. Stabbed in the stomach by an albino haired boy, just around Kazuki's age. He donned in black and purple garments, with a white, ragged cloth hung around his waist. His silver hair was level with his shoulders, as his aqua blue eyes showed pleasure of the sight in front of him.

Shin had covered for Kazuki

His thin lips curled up into a sinister grin, as he deepened the blade into Shin, whispering something in his ear. Shin winced in pain, but he was unable to do anything as his hands clutched the sword's blade tightly, making them bleed.

The silver haired boy smiled in such a sinister way, that Kazuki just stood there, stunned. He whispered something in Shin's ear, in a soft, yet malevolent tone that made Shin's eyes widen. A dark barrier suddenly started engulfing him, soon surrounding him whole.

And when the barrier disappeared, Shin was gone. Vanished.

Suddenly, and enraged Kazuki hauled his Keyblade towards the silver haired boy, but the boy dodged the attack, without the tiniest hint of even trying. Kazuki tried again and again, but failed miserably.

The boy jumped backwards, giving him and Kazuki space. Kazuki was panting now, as he attempted to heave the sword up in his usual stance. He failed.

"Aww… tired already? And I was just starting to enjoy it…"

"SHUT UP!" Kazuki yelled, and ran towards the boy practically in the speed of light. He performed a downward slash, but the boy dodged this one with a little more effort than usual. He jumped over Kazuki's head, and landed behind him, smirking all the way. Kazuki turned to face his opponent, with a very rare look on his face.

"What did you do with Shin?"

"My, my… a little tense today, aren't we, real thing?" the boy taunted, still with his sinister looking smirk. Kazuki tightened his grip on the Keyblade. He had a feeling; something was up with this boy.

"Answer my question…" Kazuki threatened, with an infrequently found firmness in his voice. The boy just shook his head, still with his little smirk.

"He was right… you have forgotten me… pity…"

"ANSWER MY QUESTION, DAMMIT! Where. Is. Shin?"

The boy just stood there, smiling. Smiling a smile more sinister than the one before. Kazuki shot him an inquiring glare, but the boy just smiled, pointing towards town. As if on queue, an explosion erupted from it.

"What the-…" Kazuki turned around, seeing a strange, dark creature, larger than even the tallest building in Providence Town. It rampaged on everything in its path,

Not that anything was left.

"Looks like you paid too much attention to me," the boy suddenly declared, shaking his head. Kazuki turned towards him in rage, dashing towards the boy with an outstretched slash. The boy flipped backwards, smirking, while Kazuki glared at him with the dirtiest of glares. The boy laughed a hearty laugh, as a black portal suddenly appeared behind him.

"Be a good boy now," were the last things he said, as he disappeared into it.

"DON'T RUN AWAY ON ME!" Kazuki yelled, eager to slice the boy to bits. A menacing laughter just echoed out of the portal, as it shrunk deeper into oblivion.

"Might want to pay more attention to the Heartless now," echoed a voice, getting fader and fader. Kazuki gritted his teeth, tightening his grip on the Keyblade. He was just distracting him…

Kazuki wiped the tears that were welling up, as he turned towards the creature.

"Get out of my town," Kazuki mumbled, dashing towards the creature.

"Max…"

Max stared out of the Gummi Ship window, as another star faded from existence.

Another world that had fallen victim to the clutches of darkness

Max looked back to the king's exact words, the ones that had driven him on this quest.

"The Keyblade Master is gone, vanished. All worlds have lost hope in winning this battle,"

Although tired, Max never regretted going on this journey. Not once. They couldn't bow to the darkness now, not after how long they had held on.

"Max!"

The small, quack-like voice startled Max, as he turned to look at his ship engineer and best friend.

"What is it, Dewey?" Max asked in a bored tone, as he played around with his hair. It wasn't long, but neither is it short, either.

Dewey gave him a help-me-out look, gesturing towards the control panel Max was supposed to handle, "This ship can't run on one-man power, y'know?" Dewey said/scolded. Max heaved a lazy sigh, as he turned to face the panel. Time to get busy…

In a dark, barren place, three cloaked figures stood before a small, black sphere, witnessing one of the most saddening scenes experienced by a young teenager. Under their dark hoods, displease formed on their unseen façade, as the tallest of the three, presumably the leader, raised his right hand, as his lips called out in a frightening tone,

"KURIX, ENTER!"

Later, a black portal appeared, revealing the silver haired boy from earlier. Immediately, he bowed down in such a way that a peasant would bow to his king.

"Foolish boy, I have told you clearly that I want the Keyblade master, didn't I?" said one of the three men, with a very discontented voice. The boy, whose name was Kurix, bowed down lower, as the third figure began her scolding.

"Heh, and to think we entrusted you with a mission as big as that," said a female voice. The first one who spoke raised a hand, indicating silence, as he gave Kurix a look that no one could decipher.

"I trust that you at least brought us something else of value?" he inquired. Kurix looked up, and nodded.

"I may not have the Keyblade Master, but I do have something that will get him to do your bidding, sirs," Kurix spoke softly, gesturing behind him. All three of the cloaked figures eyed what Kurix had bought in with interest, when the female voice suddenly laughed with glee, while the other breathed his astonishment.

"Interesting…"

It was dark. Past midnight, even.

Kazuki stood unmoving, looking up at the ruins of a once magnificent castle,

The ruins of Castle Oblivion

He gripped his blade tighter, reflecting on all those bitter memories in this castle. Memories of past happenings in this castle of wonder…

The wind blew Kazuki's cloak softly, beating against his pale skin. Kazuki repositioned his brown, ragged cloak to reveal his long, silver hair, allowing it to flow with the breeze. He won't admit it, but he had a bad feeling. A very bad feeling…

"Riku,"

Kazuki somehow acknowledged that name as his own, as he turned to look at his best friend and partner.

"Yeah?"

"Wanna bet? First person up wins," he asked in a voice too serious for the occasion. Kazuki gave a little laugh, smiling at his spiky haired friend.

"Sure, why not. Last person up will have to do all the explaining," the other man looked at Kazuki confused. "Explaining?"

"About what were doing,"

The spiky haired breathed out a little "oh," before suddenly smirking up at Kazuki,

"Then get your brain juices flowing, 'cause it won't be me,"

He walked ahead, leaving Kazuki shaking his head behind,

"Typical Sora,"

……………………………………

"Hey, look, he's waking up,"

Kazuki moved around in bed like he always does, right before coming around. He was in a state of half-awakening, where his mind was fully intact of his surroundings, while his body was still drawn into the sweet serenity of sleep. Kazuki refused to wake up, not yet.

"I think that was a false alarm,"

Kazuki tried to sleep again, but somehow, despite his drowsiness, his eyes won't stay closed. It was time…

"Yeah, maybe,"

After much of a debate with himself, Kazuki finally decides to open his eyes, and face reality,

In an unfamiliar room.

"WAH!" Kazuki shot up in bed, looking around. It had a round table, four chairs, a cabinet, and a very adorable picture of fruits on the wall right in front of Kazuki.

"Uh, dude," said a voice next to Kazuki. He turned and saw a boy (?) with a red t-shirt and blue cargo pants, and an oversized duck next to him, looking somewhat bashful.

Wait…

Oversized duck?

"SO CUTE!" Kazuki squealed with a very un-masculine approach, and lunged for the poor little duck, who was actually Dewey. Max stared at the boy with utmost interest and curiosity on the strange turn of events.

"OK…"

After Max had finally removed Kazuki from Dewey, Kazuki was made to go back in bed, while Max and Dewey sat next to it, all with somewhat serious faces. Kazuki stared around the room in awe, as the theme of it was somewhat strange for him. It was cute, simple yet had and elegant finish. Probably the brown and peach theme gave that effect. The bed Kazuki was on had nature based carvings around it's gold rimming, done by the finest of artists. It was made of dark wood, along with the chairs and tables, making it look very classy. But the bed's sheets are peach, like most of the things that aren't made of wood in this room, which gave it a cute finish. It made Kazuki ponder why two males are renting a somewhat girly place.

"So, dude, can I know your name?" Max asked Kazuki with a serious tone,

"Ka-" Kazuki was just about to finish that word, when a memory suddenly hit his head. Words of the wise he had learnt a while back.

When you are unfamiliar with the person, it is wiser not to state your real name

"Ka-… Ke-…K-… KAI! Yeah, that's right! It's Kai! (God, that sounds like a girl's name!) Kai… err… to. Kaito,"

"Kaito?"

"Yup!" Kazuki answered smugly, with his hands on his hips, despite it looking very strange while he was sitting up in bed. Max looked at Dewey inquiringly, who just shrugged. This dude has a mental problem… can't even remember his name… in fact, the way they found him already reflects his insecure mentality…

Flashback…

"Max, what makes you think the Keyblade master would be doing here?" Dewey complained, leaning on a big, branchy tree. Max scanned the surroundings, paying close attention to anything out of the ordinary. He didn't leave even the smallest piece of land untouched, even bending down, searching every nook and cranny of the ground. Dewey just snorted,

"Oh, so now the Keyblade Master's going to be found lying on the ground, eh?"

Max mumbled colorful words, as he continued scanning the area. Dewey shook his head, sighing. "And I thought he was finally going to do something serious for once…" Dewey thought regrettably.

Eventually, Max gave up, and leaned on the tree next to Dewey. Dewey gave him a suggestive smile, but Max just ignored it, looking at the other side.

Seeing someone lying dead ahead.

"Dewey!" Max alerted, gesturing towards the unconscious boy. Dewey nodded in understanding, as both of them made their way towards him.

"Is he dead?" Max asked Dewey, as they drew nearer to the body (?). Dewey shrugged, "Let me check him first,"

Dewey gave the boy a poke in the arm, as a form of 'checking'. Max rolled his eyes. Can Dewey get any lamer?

Dewey did it again, as the boy squirmed in his sleep. He was alive all right, and his eyes were fluttering open.

……………………………………

Kazuki didn't remember when he fell asleep, but the piercing jabs on his arm were abruptly awakening him. Sigh… time to get up…

Kazuki opened his eyes slowly, as he stared eye to eye with an oversized duck in a blue cap.

Wait…

Oversized duck in a cap?

"MUTANT DUCK!"

……………………………………

"Mutant duck?" Dewey looked at Max, who shrugged. The boy abruptly got on his feet, and ran for dear life, only to hit a branch in the process and slump to the ground again, unconscious…

"Ok…" Max started.

"Y'know, I kind of feel guilty," Dewey stated.

"Kind of…"

End Of Flashback…

"All right… Kaito… care to explain what were you doing in a forest alone and unconscious?" Dewey asked in his usual duck like voice. Kazuki just shrugged, saying that he didn't know. He felt a nudge coming from Max's way, who gestured him outside. Nodding, Dewey and Max excused themselves from their… ermm… guest… and left the room.

……………………………………

"So, what's up?" Dewey asked somewhat nonchalantly, as he looked into Max's serious face.

"Don't you think it's weird?"

"What?"

"That Kaito dude,"

"What about him?"

"How we found him and all… just seems fishy…"

"Oh, so this guy's a Heartless now?" Dewey remarked sarcastically

"I'm serious!" Max demanded. Dewey just gave him another one of his looks, which made Max sigh.

"Well, for all you know, he could be the Keyblade Master we were looking for,"

"Feh, you have got to be kidding me. Him? The most likely he can be is the Keyblader's lackey," Max declared, shaking his head. Dewey gave him a sideways glare, before disappearing into the kitchen. "Well, whatever. I'm splitting," Dewey declared, and headed out into town. Max grumbled and headed for his room. The one thing he hated more than Dewey's constant nagging, was Dewey disagreeing with him. It was a wonder that these two could still be best friends.

……………………………………

"Finally alone…"

Kazuki kicked back, and laid down in his bed, placing his hands behind his head for extra support. His body was here, but his mind was back in Providence Town, the town he had failed to protect.

"Serves you right for watching all those crazy ninja movies! In fact, I can tell that you actually tried to split the bed in half with some kind of ninja Karate-Chop!"

"HAH! HIGH SCORE, BABE!"

"Kazuki… don't lose your light"

"She's not in this world anymore…"

"LOOK OUT!"

"Looks like you paid too much attention to me,"

Kazuki let out an exasperating growl, as he placed the pillow on top of his face.

Protect all that is dear to you…

"I couldn't… I couldn't save anyone… Mom, Rika, Shin, Yuki, everyone!" Kazuki cried out mentally. Now, Providence Town was gone. Gone forever in the deep depths of oblivion. Gone…

"That stupid idiot… getting all worked up over the smallest things…" Dewey grumbled, as he walked around. This town had a very nice feel, somewhat medieval, and really lively. Seeing it in the morning was great, but at night, it shined like the millions of stars in the night sky. Bright and colorful even in the darkest of nights. Dewey had a good time, even just walking around like this. He had almost forgot about his little misunderstanding,

Until a dark portal appeared in front of him

When it had dispersed, small, soldier like Heartless appeared.

"Shit,"

……………………………………

"MAX! HEARTLESS!" Dewey appeared in front of the inn doorstep, with a very fearful expression. Max and Kazuki were instantly alerted, as both went out of their rooms.

"Heartless?"

Dewey nodded frantically, as Max dashed straight out.

"Stay here!" Max commanded Kazuki, as both him and Dewey went out into town. Kazuki however, went out through the back door. Stay there? Him? No way. Not when he has the power to end this Heartless rampage. Now that Providence Town was destroyed, he won't let the same happen to this town. Not ever. Kazuki didn't remember that he was this nice, but just shrugged that thought away.

……………………………………

Max gave a strong uppercut, before kicking a Heartless away from him. It vanished, as Max landed firmly on the ground, and got back into his stance. (A/N Yes, I know… I have no idea since when did Max learn how to fight… this is, however, just crossover to the real one) He dashed towards another one, and gave it a scissors kick in the head. It flew behind, and Dewey caught it with his little laser gun. Max gave a little wave, and continued bashing the Heartless along with his little friend, who proved tougher than he looked.

……………………………………

A kick here, and punch there, Max found himself on the ground, tired. He was so tired, he allowed himself to be pushed down like that. Still, he forced himself up, not noticing the soldier Heartless sneaking up on him from behind.

SLASH

Max was alerted on the spot, hearing a strange noise behind. It made him turn around. The sight he saw now would embed itself in Max's collection of memories forever, as he witnessed for the first time in his life,

The Keyblade

"Surprised?" Kazuki smirked, as he hauled the legendary weapon over his shoulder. Suddenly, he turned around, and slashed a Heartless there straight into the pits of hell.

"No way…" Max breathed out his astonishment. He was the Keyblade Master? The dude he had found in the forest?

"Hey, are you just going to sit there and stare, or are you going to help me fight these things?" Kazuki asked with his little trademark smile, offering a hand towards the shocked boy. Max hesitated for a while, but smiled back and took his hand, with a newfound strength flowing through his veins as their hands touched.

Dewey smiled from afar, seeing the drama between the two teenagers. He knew that the Kaito kid was the Keyblade Master all along… he just knew somehow.

Max and Kazuki stood back to back, both ready for battle. Kazuki had the Keyblade over his shoulder in his usual stance, while Max stood with his fists before him. They allowed the soldiers to close in, before dashing towards them, and began their battle. Their cooperation was amazing, making the duo almost unstoppable.

"Guess… that… settles it…" Kazuki panted, moving out of his stance. Max kept his gaze on Kazuki, before he finally spoke.

"You… really are the Keyblade Master?" Kazuki nodded, and smiled. "Bet'cha didn't guess it, huh?'

"But I did," Dewey answered from afar, as he came into view. "You had this aura around you… just like how I felt when I saw the other Keyblade Master. I knew straight away,"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa… reality check… you knew the old Keyblade Master?" Max asked confused. Dewey just scratched behind his head, shrugging

"Well… I kind of had this imagination of how he'd look like, and…"

Max gave him a look, "You imagined him…" Dewey just gave a nervous laugh, "Heheheh… yeah…" both Max and Dewey gave a little cough,

"Let's get back to the issue at hand…"

"Yeah…"

Max and Dewey turned towards Kazuki,

"Kaito… we need to ask you something," Max said with a grave tone, that somewhat stunned Kazuki,

"Shoot,"

"We need you to go back with us to Disney Castle with us,"

"Heh?"

"We've been looking for you…" Dewey chipped in. "Cuz you see, were from a world where everyone is aware of Heartless activity. And they are very much aware of Keyblades, and such,"

"And…?"

"Well, the last Keyblade Master disappeared, fifteen years ago," Max said

"What?"

Both Dewey and Max sighed. "We've got a lot of explaining to do…"

……………………………………

All three of them were in that room again, Kazuki on the bed, Dewey sitting on a chair, while Max leaned on a wall nearby. Kazuki shifted uncomfortably as Dewey rambled on about the Keyblade Master killing off the Nobody leader, and returning to their world. Something about that story just seemed very appealing to him… somehow…

"But their peaceful lives in Destiny Islands didn't last… because the Door To Darkness was opened once again, making the Keyblade Master decide to leave Destiny Islands again, parting with his pregnant wife, on another perilous journey with his best friend,"

Kazuki waited impatiently, as Dewey paused there, giving the story a more dramatic effect. "Then?"

"Well, that's it," Max said dryly.

"… That's it?"

"Well, both him and his friend disappeared after that,"

"Leaving the Door To Darkness open without any possible way of closing it,"

A silence began, as Kazuki looked intently at them, with inquiring eyes.

"So, you're saying that you just left a door that could destroy the whole worlds to just stay open like that?"

"WERE NOT!" Max yelled suddenly, making Kazuki shrink back in his place. Max seemed to have regretted his actions, as he leaned back on the wall. "That's why were here… to look for the Keyblade Master. And we found you,"

"So… What can I do?"

"To close the Door To Darkness, two Keyblades are needed," Dewey started

"And the King is already one," Max finished. Kazuki mouthed an 'oh', understanding what the two meant.

"So you want me to help your king to close that 'Door To Darkness' thing?"

Both Max and Dewey nodded. The situation got tense somehow… as Kazuki seemed deep in thought. It was, however, almost impossible to decipher what was on his mind. Max and Dewey both looked at Kazuki expectantly, when suddenly…

"Yeah! Sure! Why not?" Kazuki declared, grinning sheepishly. The atmosphere suddenly changed now, being as cheerful as a children's playpen. Max looked at Kazuki strangely, his eyes wide open.

"Just like that? No more Q and A?" Max asked surprised. Kazuki suddenly felt a little down, as he hung his head low.

"Well… I just lost a whole town to those Heartless things, meaning all my family… friends… gone. Just like that…" Kazuki gripped his hands tighter, as he continued, "So, I know how it feels like, and I don't want anyone else to feel the same thing I did, because I know, it hurts…" Kazuki summoned his Keyblade, staring at it intently, "And because I have the power to stop it,"

The Next Day…

"R-r-r-r-ride…. T-this?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Kazuki, Max and Dewey stood in front of a small purple ship, made of a somewhat squishy material. The three had done their shopping and supplying, and was ready for the long journey back to Disney Castle.

Well, sort of…

"What did you say the ship's name was?" Kazuki asked with a somewhat terrified tone.

"Well, it's a Gummi Ship… why?" Max answered with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Gummi Ship…" Kazuki squeaked. The last time he remembered, 'Gummies' were a form of food, very squishy and fragile.

"Fragile…" Kazuki mumbled again. Max just groaned, and climbed into the ship, followed closely by Dewey. Kazuki, however, just stood there, dazed in front of the ship.

"You might want to come on now…" Dewey called out. Kazuki neared the ship suspiciously, and poked the ship's somewhat squishy exterior. His finger seemed stuck to the jelly-like substance. He yanked it out. It felt soft, but somewhat firm.

"Is this thing… safe…?" Kazuki inquired. Max just shrugged.

"Dude, you're looking at the safest thing in space!"

"Well, excluding all the Heartless and Nobody ships… and not to mention the space rocks and self destructing mecha, were as safe as a bee in its hive!" Dewey said, looking down towards Kazuki,

Who was on the getaway back towards town.

"KAITO!" both of them called, (Kazuki didn't tell them his real name, because he thought that Kaito sounded cooler) as Max leaped out of the ship, and dragged Kazuki onto it with reassuring words.

"Don't worry… me and Dewey here are masters of this Gummi Ship. You don't' need to worry when were on the controls!" Kazuki just glared at Max doubtfully as the was literally dragged on the ship. There was something in Max's say that sounded very wrong… He was, however, unable to do anything about it, as the entrance closed, leaving Kazuki in the ship with the other two… things…

"BLAST OFF!" Max called excitedly. He was definitely ready to prove the people of Disney Castle wrong. So, very ready…

Dewey shot a hand in front of Max's face, with a stern look. Max stared at his friend blankly. "What?"

"Map," Dewey answered, short and simple. Max looked as blank as ever.

"Without the map, I can't pilot our way to Disney Castle, y'know?" Dewey stated in a matter-of-fact tone.

"But I thought it was with you?" Dewey gave Max a look. "YOU FORGOT THE MAP?"

"I did not!" Max defended himself, "I thought you were the one responsible with the travel equipment?"

"Well, I told you clearly to pack the map along, since it was with you!"

"My backpack didn't have enough room! So I put it on your bed so that you could bring it along… with… you…" Dewey gave him a look. "You didn't take the map?"

"WELL, YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST TOLD ME ABOUT IT! LEAVE A NOTE OR SOMETHING!"

"I DID! IT'S JUST THAT YOU WERE TOO STUPID TO SEE IT!"

"WHY, I OUGHTA…"

"Guys! Chill!" Kazuki chipped in, desperate to stop the feud. After a few unsuccessful tries, the two finally calmed down, as they slumped into their seats. "No map… how are we supposed to find our way back to Disney Castle?" Max declared sadly. Dewey, who was the more sensible of the lot, got on the panel, and just shrugged. "Guess we'll have to go to all the worlds we see until we find it…"

The ship blasted off, without any idea of the troubles ahead. And also without a destination…

Yeah, the chapter was shorter… bite me. I couldn't find a better place to stop. Also, I did intend on detailing down the Heartless battles… but face it… would you enjoy reading page after page of slashing Heartless again, and again, and again and again… because I know I would!

Here's a little extra for the chapter, to make up for the quality of length…

Max

He's the crossover of Goofy's kid in Goof Troop. I'm sure you've heard of him, right? Well, this Max had lost his world to the Heartless when he was eight, and has been living in Disney Castle since. Tired of hearing all those stories of how the world will be headed to it's end, he set out with his best friend, Dewey, on an adventure in search of the Keyblade Master. He uses his bare-hands in battle, as opposed to his father's shield. He also has a more outgoing and looking-for-trouble personality, that always gets him in a tight spot. Luckily, the more sensible Dewey is always there to help out.

Dewey

Nope, this isn't the Dewey from the Huey Dewey Louie, but he isn't a crossover either! A few years ago, the Heartless invaded Disney Castle once again, and Donald had almost lost his life in battle, if it wasn't for the original Dewey. But the cost for Donald's life, was Dewey's. Saddened, Donald had named his first son after his courageous nephew, in memory of him. Although Donald had tried to pass down his knowledge of magic to his son, Dewey never got it, despite his ingenious mind. So, Dewey made guns, lasers, etc, in place of magic, and had put elemental elements in their construction, making absolutely amazing replicas of magic. In fact, the King is considering replicating these weapons, to be given to the Disney army… What a duck!

That's all from little, ol' me now… till next time!

Next Chapter… - The trio's first world! What chaos can ensue? Which Disney masterpiece am I going to destroy? Will it be High School Musical? Will it not? Await the next chapter, Meetings!
