The battle continued between Demyx and Matt, Stitch, and Pikachu.

Demyx had abandoned the use of his water clones and began to attack more his foes more directly. He used his ability to control water and sent towering geysers straight at the trio, trying to crush them beneath the pressure.

Each of them had to move quickly in order to dodge the geysers. Every time, they barely managed to get out of the way. Stitch was especially cautious because of his fear. So cautious that he could barely attack. Matt understood why he was so hesitant, but this was no time to freeze up. There lives, as well as Leon's, were on the line.

Demyx also used another attack in which he yelled 'Water', causing giant bubbles came flying out of the air. One hit Matt hard in the gut, knocking the wind out of him. Those bubbles packed a huge punch behind them.

As the battle dragged on, Matt had been watching Demyx carefully as he and his friends had been avoiding his attacks. Slowly, he, Stitch, and Pikachu had began to understand that Demyx's attacks were rhythm based. Once they got it understood, it made it more and more easier to dodge.

After a while of dipping and dodging, Matt and his friends began to grow weary. They couldn't keep it up forever. Demyx had to be stopped in his tracks...and fast.

"We gotta attack together," Matt yelled, Keyblade at the ready. "You guys ready?" They had to get it right the first time.

"Eh!"Stitch yelled.

"He's going down," Pikachu said. He began to power up for a huge Thunder attack. Stitch quickly around to behind Demyx and charged up his blasters for a powerful attack as well.

"Honestly?" Demyx yelled. He used his guitar to summon geysers in front to protect himself against Stitch and Pikachu's blasts…which is what they were hoping for.

All the while, Matt had been gathering energy for a large magic attack while Stitch and Pikachu had kept Demyx busy. With the two geysers surrounding the Nobody, Matt aimed his Keyblade straight at him.

"BLIZZAGA MAXIMA!" Matt cried. A large beam of ice then emitted towards Demyx. The Nobody didn't see what hit him. Demyx was now encased in ice, unable to move.

"Ooo, wesa did it," Stitch said.

"Worked like a charm," Matt agreed. "Now to finish it!" He charged towards the frozen Demyx, ready to end it once and for all with the Keyblade.

Before he could strike though, something had stopped Matt in his tracks before he could finish

Demyx had somehow broken free of his encasement. Joining him were an unconscious, but very much alive…

"Donald and Goofy!" Matt yelled. He had to stop in his tracks in order not to hurt them. "Let them go now!"

"'Let them go now''" Demyx said mockingly. "These two aren't going anywhere. I figure I'd make some use of them and make them my personal 'bodyguards'."

"You jerk!"Pikachu said. "You really are nobody!

"Chuga nea Mala questa!" Stitch growled.

"Don't judge me," Demyx said. "You wouldn't have the guts to attack these two. I wouldn't even care if you did anyway. I've been begging my pals in the Organization to get rid of them anyway after what they did to me."

Matt, Stitch, and Pikachu stood still together, not daring to attack Demyx without risk of harming Donald and Goofy. They couldn't face the King , never mind Sora, if they did any damage to their friends.

Stitch and Pikachu looked at Matt in confusion. They didn't have a clue how to save Donald and Goofy, and neither did Matt.

What are we supposed to do…? Matt thought. What would Sora do…?

He looked at the Keyblade in his hand. It felt powerful, like it usually did when he held it. Out of the blue, he had the strangest feeling. The feeling that he had to attack now. Don't be afraid… He heard in his mind again.

Am I actually about to do this?... I hope I'm right…

Matt looked at Stitch and Pikachu and gave them a look of confidence. "Do you guys trust me?"

They looked at each other, then back at Matt.

"Stitch trust Matt," he said.

"So do I," Pikachu added.

Matt smiled. He nodded to their approval and stepped forward.

"What's this?" Demyx said. "The Keyblader is ready to admit defeat?"

"Not on your life," Matt replied. Suddenly, he started into a full sprint towards Demyx, Donald, and Goofy. He readied his Keyblade to strike.

"Matt, what are you doing?" Pikachu said.

"Matt!" Stitch added. It was too late. They could only watch in horror at what they're friend was trying to do.

Matt charged up and prepared to strike. Demyx stood frozen…not knowing what was happening.

Then, it happened. A flash of dark had sprinted onto the battlefield, right in between the charging Matt and Demyx. Before their eyes, Donald and Goofy had disappeared. Only a very stunned Demyx stood before him.

"NOW! TAKE THIS!" With one final horizontal slash, Matt struck the Nobody with everything he had. He'd swung so hard, that he ended up about a few yards behind his enemy, Keyblade held high. "Gotcha!"

Demyx stumbled backwards, clutching his fading body. "No…no not again. How is this possible? NOOOOOOOO!" With a blinding flash, he was gone.

Stitch and Pikachu raced towards Matt. "Are you ok?" Pikachu asked him. Matt indicated he was alright.

"What just happen?" Stitch asked.

"Why don't we ask him?" Matt replied while pointing.

Yet another figure with a dark coat and hood stood before them, clutching the unconscious Donald and Goofy. He set them down comfortably.

Normally, Organization members gave Matt a bad feeling, but not this one. Whoever this guy was, he wasn't the enemy. Not after what he'd done just now.

"Thank you," Matt said. "Whoever you war, you're a lifesaver." The figure nodded in response. He then reached into his pocket and brought out a letter. He threw it to Matt, who caught it with one hand. The figure then turned to leave.

"Wait!" Stitch yelled.

"Who are you?" Pikachu asked. "Why did you help us?"

The figure raised his finger and shook it back in forth, indicating that he wasn't going to say anything. He then ran off into the distance before the trio could ask more.

Stitch and Pikachu then gave Matt a semi-dirty look. "What?" he asked.

"What were you thinking? You could've killed Donald and Goofy," Pikachu bellowed.

"Why Matt didn't tell Stitch and Pikachu yousa gonna pull off crazy stunt?," Stitch asked.

"Sorry, guys," Matt said, scratching his head. "It's hard to explain…I just had a feeling something good would happen."

"Matt's feelings are crazy then," Stitch said.

"I'm with you there pal," Pikachu said while shaking his head.

"I don't blame you," Matt said while looking at his Keyblade. "This thing is weird like that."

Suddenly, the Keyblade started acting on its own again. The letter in Matt's hand raised itself up a little bit before shooting a beam of light, revealing a keyhole up in the sky. Matt did the whole unlocking thing once more and used the Keyblade to unlock it.

Matt looked at the letter in his hand. "Well...let's have a look," he said. Stitch and Pikachu gathered close to read with Matt:

To whom it may concern:

I've been watching you three fight, and you aren't half bad. Not bad at all. The time isn't right to reveal myself quite yet. I've got some work to do, and I've got to do it alone.

This new Organization will stop at nothing to control the worlds and capture, so you three must protect them at all costs. Good luck to you all! The king sends his regards.

"Huh?" Matt asked.

"Who could it be?" Stitch asked.

"Good question," Pikachu said. "Whoever it is, he met the King."

"Yeah, that's a good sign," Matt said. "He's right though, this Organization is tough." He let out a long sigh. "Let's get Leon, Donald, and Goofy back to Merlin's house."


Bye, bye, Demyx. You were the most annoying boss ever!

Who is this mysterious savoir and why did he help the trio save Donald and Goofy? How does he know the King? Find out soon!

Peace out,
