::KINGDOM HEARTS III Online HD::
-Journey Back to the Realm of Light-
It has been a week since the lives of our heroes changed forever. And it all started when the video game Kingdom Hearts III Online HD got released to the public of Midlight City. The game got gamers all across the country into the action. But the action soon turned real for teen gaming champion, Rian Rivers, when he got a run-in with a heartless and Keyblade Knight Terra. The latter soon revealed to him the true nature of the game. It was a trap, set by the Blackheart Dominion, a league of Keyblade Champions who have given themselves to Darkness, in an attempt to steal Rian's KH game avatar's heart of Pure Bravery among the legendary Thirteen Hearts of Pure Bravery from the game, all belonging to twelve other KH players and himself. In order for Rian to save his own heart and these twelve others, the teen got forced to join forces with these KH players all over Midlight City, by assuming the role of his KH Keybearer avatar, Johnny 'Thunder' Keyblade, and gaining his Keyblade powers.
Rian eventually joined force with eleven of these Players/Keybearers on the ultimate mission: some alliance was unexpected, like Rian's rival Talen; some were expected like his best friend Taylor and her boyfriend Matt; and some came from out of the blue or as a big surprise, like the introverted Kami and the celebrity Jean-Michel. The mission was running smoothly until a sudden twist of events changed everything.
Rian and Talen suddenly got erased by Blackheart member Phantamis, the Illusion. Rian was the initial target but Talen had jumped in at the last minute in an attempt to save his rival, only to get erased in the process. Phantamis soon revealed to the heroes that their erasure attempt was part of the Dominion's change of plan regarding the heroes' Hearts. But unknown to them the erasure was instead a warning. A warning set up by sneaky Blackheart member Alistare as he plots to overturn the Dominion around and pursue the Dominion's—or his own true desire: Kingdom Hearts. Such plot could soon set out an all-out war among the Dominion members over possession for ultimate power, and change the heroes' mission to save the Universe.
And Talen, who was thought to be erased, would find himself in the middle of the scuffle.
-Dominion's Lounge-
Talen's eyelids fluttered open upon hearing footsteps on ivory floor. Someone touched him lightly on the shoulder then shook it, forcing him to wake up.
"Hey, wakey-wakey, sleeping beauty! No time to be snoozin'!"
Talen heard a familiar voice and blinked hard several times, clearing up the blurry vision circling in front of him to see who it was. He saw Phantamis, the Illusion.
"Happy to see me?" said Phantamis.
"Ugh… define Happy." Talen grunted, glaring at his enemy. He noticed himself glued to a stone wall and dark magicks formed as bindings were holding him prisoner by the wrists and ankles. "And what is the meaning of this? I thought I was erased!"
"You weren't erased. No thanks to you." Phantamis said, "But the good news is, your friend you tried to rescue got the axe."
Talen shook his head, "That's a lie. Why do you even lie?"
"Why do you insist on me lying?" Phantamis smiled, "It's the truth." He moved his hand toward Talen to touch his cheek, but Talen quickly moved his head away from him, and glared at him.
"Don't you touch me, you leeched frigging freak!" He insulted, "You wanna touch me again, and it's on."
"Oh, it's on huh? Wanna piece of me, I'm right here." Phantamis provoked.
The duo was getting in each other's faces when the door flew open, catching their attentions. Ivy, Tidicus, Percicle and Firias had barged in the Lounge. And Phantamis was sensing tension between them.
"You won't believe what has happened to Aros." Ivy said, "He got erased."
"What?" Phantamis gasped.
"And you won't believe who erased him. Rian Rivers, the Johnny 'Thunder' Keyblade." Percicle said.
"WHAT?" Phantamis exclaimed, "I thought… I thought we erased him!"
"Apparently, his foolish companion ruined everything by saving him!" said the angry Firias, glaring at Talen.
Talen smiled at Firias, "Well then, I guess this foolish companion did the right thing, unlike somebody who hasn't done a single damn thing to save his foolish companion."
"WHATCHU SAID WIMP?" Firias pulled a fist and angrily approached Talen, but his friends quickly restrained him.
"Firias calm down, he's not worth it!" Tidicus said, "We got bigger things to worry about. And that is…"
Before Tidicus could finish, the Dominion and Talen began hearing arguments nearby. They didn't know what was going on, until the door blasted open and in flew Alistare at high speed to the ground. Alistare appeared completely bruised up, as if someone had struck him a massive blow. Maurchel followed, walking with an angry look on his face.
"How dare you, you senile old crone…" Maurchel grabbed Alistare by the neck and raised him off the ground to everyone's surprise. "How dare you interfering with my plans."
"Eh…eh…eh… plan?" Alistare chuckled, sounding like he was not in any pain, "What plan?"
Alistare raised his arm and moved it down, striking Maurchel down on his kneed. Maurchel cringed and released Alistare. Maurchel was now knelt before Alistare. "There was no plan from the beginning, you pale freak. No plan in bringing this old crone you call your father."
Maurchel stood up as if he was no longer in pain, "He's YOUR father too you know?" he barked.
"Father? Hey what's going on around here?" Talen curiously asked, but the Dominion ignored him.
"I cannot BELIEVE that all of this was your doing!" Maurchel angrily barked, "We were supposed to be collecting Hearts of Pure Bravery from all of these cretins Keyblade Riders! But no, you HAD to lock them away from the Realm of Light, erased Johnny Thunder, and bringing his unstable best friend here instead!"
"HEY!" Talen shouted, "And it's unstable rival to you! And I'm NOT unstable!"
"This unstablebest friend was a mistake, remember?" Alistare said, "He tried to ruin my plan in the first place. Fortunately he didn't succeed."
There was a brief awkward silence among the populace, before Maurchel started laughing, "Oh… right! I guess you haven't heard!"
Alistare didn't like the sound of that, "Heard what?" he questioned Maurchel, who continued to laugh. The Mastermind looked at the other Dominion who simply shrugged. He screamed again, "HEARD WHAT?"
"GAaaaAAH! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" Maurchel continued to laugh. The laughter was so deafening and so creepy that Alistare was losing patience. "If you're not telling me, what I haven't heard… I will personally make you tell me MYSELF!"
Maurchel wiped a tear, "Ooh, boy! Looks like your plan to erase Johnny Thunder Keyblade, was nothing but a Blackheart failure. Take a look!" Maurchel waved his hand over to the shining moon, and showed an image of Thunder among the other Keybearers teens. Alistare's eyes widened as Maurchel continued to laugh.
"What is the meaning of this…?" Alistare breathed angrily. He then faced Phantamis, "YOUR JOB WAS SUPPOSED TO KILL HIM! NOT SPARE HIM!"
"That's what I did!" Phantamis said, "But…"
"BUT WHAT?"
"But you failed." Maurchel said to Alistare, catching his attention, "You've tried to block away these Keybearers from the Realm of Light, so that I won't have access to their Hearts of Pure Bravery and resurrect Father. But you would have access to them. Additionally, you will have access to all the Hearts of Pure Light as well… starting with Snow White's, am I right?"
Maurchel opened his palm to reveal Snow White's Heart. It was indeed brimming with Pure Light. Talen was shocked to see this. So Snow White's predicament was true, he thought. He and the others tried to protect her, but eventually failed. He hatedthat. He hatedthem!
"Damn you Blackhearts!" Talen screamed, "I cannot believe you did that to this poor lovely princess!"
"That's not all of it." Maurchel continued, completely ignoring Talen, "Not only you tried to do that, but you eventually failed, when these teens finally joined force with the Keybearer of Darkness Naraku: her powers, able to open the Realm of Light again. You've lost this part. So you were so livid at this revelation, you had to go for the next plan of action! Getting rid of the final seal to reviving our Father."
Talen gasped, already guessing who the final seal was, "Rian…"
"So you admit it!" Alistare said to Maurchel, "You admit that you were planning to revive Master Xehanort!"
Talen heard that and fear struck his heart, "M-M-Master Xehanort…?"
"It's Father to you!" Maurchel corrected Alistare, "And yes, THAT was my plan. THAT was my goal! But that doesn't mean that I have betrayed my trust with the Dominion. YOU DID! You deliberately sabotaged our plan since these Keybearers pests left Dwarf Woodlands, and that is going to stop! I am the leader of this group, and whatever I decide, we decide TOGETHER!"
"But Maurchel, seriously, we haven't even talked about this—!" Tidicus tried to speak but Maurchel angrily interrupted, "Shut up, Charming One! I'm the leader here and when I say jump, you jump! ANYBODY GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?"
The Dominion all shook their heads, all except Alistare.
"Unfortunately for you…" Alistare muttered, "…I do."
Maurchel and Alistare immediately locked eyes. Then, in a sudden split second, Alistare rushed at Maurchel and impaled him with his entire arm through his chest to everyone's horror. Maurchel coughed up blood. Alistare pulled his arm out of Maurchel's chest, with Maurchel's Heart in hand. Maurchel began to disintegrate as his body was heading for the ground. The moment his body hit the ground, it vanished completely, releasing dark sparkles and smokes into the air.
The attack drew the rest of the Dominion to the room. Everyone, including Talen, as stunned and shocked at this sudden twist, watched Alistare raised Maurchel's Heart over the moon. The moon was shining and the Heart began to disintegrate as well, releasing its power and swirling around Alistare. Alistare cackled evilly as he was floating and feeling more energy and strength from Maurchel's Heart, and a dramatic opera piece was heard playing across the chamber.
The heart finally vanished into Alistare and Alistare glared around, at everyone horrific faces. They all saw where Maurchel used to stand. The only thing that was left of him now was a black stain and a silver one right in the middle. It was as if his hair got fried.
"My gosh…" Talen whispered. He couldn't believe the horror he saw firsthand. These Blackheart members are cold-blooded killers! Even the Blackhearts were shocked!
"Now, that this traitor insect is gone, I'm the leader here now! And when I say jump, you jump! Anyone has a problem with my plan now?" Alistare asked his comrades, but there were no response.
"ANYBODY GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?" He asked again, and they all shook their heads this time, "Good."
"You…" Talen breathed, "You killed one ofyour own people? Your leader even?"
Alistare turned to glare at Talen.
"How could you do that, man?" Talen exclaimed, "I… I mean I'm not a big fan of your group here! But this… this is COLD!"
"We were NOT on the same page." Alistare told Talen, "You heard us, right? Or were you deaf to hear us?"
"So you had disagreement, big whoop!" Talen argued, "I disagree with my buddies sometimes, my cuz… but I wouldn't think about, straight-up killin' them!"
"Buddies are a waste of my time!" Alistare bellowed, "And who asked you? You want me to bring him back to life and let him take over the Dominion and bring back Master Xehanort? Fine. I'll do that. OH! Wait! I can't do that because my specialty is on Death! And Death only." He said the last phrase creepily.
Talen gulped, "I ain't afraid of you." He said, "Heck, I ain't afraid of any of you! You may hurt me all you like but you won't hurt my friends. I saved Rian once, much to my surprise, but I would do it again in a heartbeat!"
"Sure." Alistare chuckled, "So tell me about this… secret of yours? Y'know, the one you used to save your rival, or your frenemy, or whatever slang you kids these days name each other?"
Talen hesitated, "What are you talking about?"
"You know what I'm talking about." Alistare said, "I'm talking about your visions! What a precious gift from such a youngster wouldn't you say?"
Talen shook his head, "I don't get visions." He lied, "Where did you—?"
"Oh, stop lying boy." Phantamis interrupted, "If it wasn't because of your vision, you wouldn't be here right now. But since you thwarted our attack on him, how about we thwart something else on you."
Talen didn't like the sound of that, "W-what…what are you gonna thwart?" Talen's voice shook when he saw Alistare approaching. Alistare said nothing. Talen struggled as Alistare with his creepy finger, slowly reached up near Talen's forehead, "HEY! Get away from me, you creepy geezer! I SAID GET AWAY FROM ME!"
Clavisisparus Debilito pectus pectoris adveho tenebris!
Alistare whispered these phrases and nailed his finger on Talen's forehead.
"GUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
A white flash of light took over Talen's head as the young man screamed an agonizing pain.
xXx
Elsewhere, Rian who was thought to be gone was alive and rescued by King Mickey and a mysterious Keyblade Rider: his own twin from the KH Universe Thunder. Thunder chose to switch roles with Rian, joining force with the Keybearers, while Rian is forced to travel with the King to find the rest of the Keyblade Riders. Donald, Goofy, and Terra have learned of Thunder's return, but none of the teens are aware of such fact as Thunder's true identity and Rian's whereabouts are being kept secret from them for their protection against the Dominion. But for how long will this go on for our fearless Keyblade Rider and his mortal twin to blend in each other's shoes? As they will soon be prepared for a return back to the Realm of Light on their ultimate mission to defeat the Blackheart Dominion and save the realm of light and their own world, such task will be proven difficult for our doubles, sooner than later.
Rian and Mickey were traveling a large green field when Rian felt a sharp pain on his skull.
"ARrrgh!" he held on to his head, squinting in pain.
"Rian!" Mickey approached him, "You're okay?"
"Ahh…" Rian stumbled back, grunting in agonizing pain. He went down on his knees.
"Oh, dear. You're not okay." Mickey said, "Hold on." He placed a hand on Rian's forehead, but he felt it like a furnace on contact. "Yeowwch!" he jumped.
"Aahhh… help me, King…" Rian kept screaming.
Mickey didn't know what to do. Rian slowly his eyes and they were completely white.
"Whoaa!" Mickey gasped. He saw Rian's eyes projecting an image like an overhead to Mickey's surprise. The image appeared to both comrades, similar to when they saw Vanitas earlier. The image was no pleasure either. It showed Talen getting tortured by Alistare.
"Ohh, no." Mickey said.
"Talen…" Rian grunted, "…but how… what's happenin', King?"
"It looks like… you're having a vision." Mickey breathed.
"GUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Talen was still screaming through the image.
"What… are they doing to him?" Rian grunted. He could feel Talen's pain as his agonizing pain. Finally he closed his eyes, banishing that image out of his mind. The image vanished on cue, and Rian collapsed on the ground.
"Rian?" Mickey called him but he didn't respond. "RIAN!"
…
A moment later, Rian slowly woke up. His eyes were back to normal. He was resting under a tree but he still felt felt some pain, but it wasn't as horrible as before.
"Rian! You're all right." Mickey breathed a sigh of relief, "You had me scared for a second."
"Talen…" Rian breathed shallowly, remembering his vision, "We… we've gotta help him." he said, trying to stand up.
"We can't!" Mickey said to him, as he was helping Rian up.
"But… why?" Rian exclaimed, "Is it because of the Dominion? Our secret again?" He finally stood on his feet, still feeling that mild pain.
"We can't afford this." Mickey replied, "And the Dominion thinks that you're still at Midlight City. We have to keep them thinking that!"
Rian sighed, "I wish I could help him. He did save me, much to my surprise. If only I could return him that favor."
Mickey smiled, "You can, actually. And the best way to do that is if we talk to Master Yen Sid about these images you've been having."
"The one with the sharp pain?" Rian asked, "I don't get it. How come that first image I had, I didn't get any pain, but this one I did?"
"That image had something to do with your relationship with Talen. Your relationship with each other, and your Keyblade Riders' relationship as well…"
Rian remembered that conversation he had with Thunder. He still cannot believe that Thunder and Blazen were best friends, when he and Talen appear to hate each other. Maybe it's in their hearts, he thought.
"Don't worry." Mickey reassured him, "Once we reach the Mysterious Tower, we will figure out together why you've been getting these visions. I have a feeling this has something to do with your powers."
"Great…" Rian mumbled, "I'm getting more powers now. And this one is a doozy. Can we go to that Mysterious Tower now, and stop wasting time? I'm antsy!"
The impatient Rian, full of energy again, took off running, leaving Mickey behind. Mickey smiled, shaking his head, "Just like Thunder…" he said before following.
xXx
With the inclusion of Rian and Talen being gone from the rank, the teens' secret got exposed to the public. As chosen Keybearers to protect the world, the public thought they were out to destroy it. But their encounter with Blackheart member Aros, and his revelation as Vanitas, changed all of that. A hard truth to swallow, it took the public time to accept the teens' fates and soon treated them as celebrities.
But Vanitas' encounter has changed things between the heroes when Matt's true past has been uncovered as an ex-member of the Dominion. Matt, thought to be a devoted down-to-earth young man among the Thirteen Keybearers, was working for the enemy all along. Now cofounded by the naked truth, the comrades are forced to make a decision. A decision that will greatly affect their friendship, and their future.
Kami was back at the hospital, by her brother's bedside, watching him peacefully. She then looked out the window for a brief period, a thought running through her mind. She finally spoke.
"Well, Tenshu. You missed out on a lot of things: the entire city knowing our secret, the gang and I getting captured by the US Secret Service, and get this…"
She then faced her brother, "…our dad works for the Security. Can you believe that? Our dad? For the Security. Isn't that madness?"
Her brother was unresponsive.
"Yeah, I thought so too." She responded quickly, but then began to think again.
"But…" she sighed, "If you weren't in the coma, I'm sure you would have told me something else, like give our dad a break or something." She angrily faced her brother, "But I can't give him a break. He lied to me. Hey, he lied to all of us!Wouldn't that be a problem to you?"
No response. Once again, Kami replied to herself, "Yeah, you wouldn't have to deal with it."
Another moment of silence and Kami got up from her seat and leaned closer to her comatose sibling with a scorn look on her face, "I'm going to head out now." She said, "But for the love of grace, you better pull through…"
She looked around to see if no one was listening. Everything was quiet. Kami then shed a tear, finally letting free of the emotion she was harboring inside. "You better pull through, big brother." She said tearfully, "Because we all need you… sniff… and your talent."
She bashfully leaned in toward her brother for a forehead kiss, when she began hearing muffling sound. The muffling sounded like they came from inside Tenshu's body.
"Tenshu?" she gasped, "Did you say something?"
Before she could hear again, a voice spoke behind her. "I haven't said anything."
Kami turned around to see Tenshu's doctor standing there. Half-Indonesian and half-Japanese, he had short black hair and black eyes.
"Dr. Joedo." Kami called him. The doctor entered the room.
"Didn't hear Tenshu?" Kami asked him, "He sounded like he was mumbling or something."
"I didn't hear anything." The doctor genuinely said, shaking his head. "But I sure wish I didn't hear the latest news, Kami."
Kami bashfully looked down, "Oh."
"Yeah. 'Oh.' " The doctor said in a tone, "Why didn't you tell me, for crying out loud, that you, my son, and the rest of you kids were fighting crime in the first place?"
Kami shrugged, "I don't know. It was all so sudden." She sat down, "Much like Tenshu's condition came in all the sudden."
"Honey, we all know where Tenshu's condition came from." Dr. Joedo said and Kami knew what he was talking about: the Blackheart Dominion. The same ones who erased Rian and Talen must surely be the ones who put Tenshu in this condition.
She turned to face the doctor, "You know something?"
"I wish I knew something." Dr. Joedo said, "I could have helped."
The doctor approached Tenshu to check his eyes, ears, and throat. "With everything that we have heard lately on the news, I'm beginning to think that what happened to your brother is beyond medical condition."
He finished examining Tenshu and then turned to face Kami, "You have to deal with this, and bring your brother back."
Kami nodded. After a brief moment of silence she spoke again, "I'm sorry you had to find out this way."
Dr. Joedo smiled, "Hey, like you said before, it was all so sudden." He placed a hand on Kami's shoulder, "Make sure you tell Axel how proud I am of him… and of you too."

"It's been a week since the big battle over at the Midlight City Skyscraper between the enigmatic creature Vanitas alias Aros, and our city heroes who call themselves Keybearers occurred; and the city is still buzzing about their act of heroism which was first mistaken as an act of terrorism. Their action brought attention not only to the city but to the entire world even, as our heroes were invited to join force with the UN, International war troops, even meet with Presidents, Royalties, and Emperors from all over. Despite this massive celebrity status, all these kids want to do is to deal with the menace that is still threatening our very lives. This has been your Midlight City Daily Report, I'm Dan Sawyer."
"Why did we have to cancel dinner with the Governor of California?" Axel was complaining to Terra as he and the rest of the teens who also looked upset, were walking down a large secluded hallway with the Keyblade Knight, "I wanted to meet with him!"
"This is the quiet hour." Terra said, "At times like these the enemy is at bay and it's our chance for a strike if we are to defeat them."
"Terra. It's the Governor of California!" Denzel exclaimed and the teens all responded in full agreement, "Who else could it be?"
"It could have been me," Jean-Michel responded, "But since I'm with you guys, rejoice."
"Dude. We already know who you are. We don't care anymore." Violet said.
The group reached the sub-basement that would lead to the Security base.
Trayne looked around, "Hey, where's Taylor? Haven't seen her since she and Matt broke up."
"They broke up?" Pierre looked confused.
"Uhh… yeah!" Sierra told her boyfriend, "Sheesh, Pierre. Keep up with the news."
"Well, I didn't notice since we were in Russia, Japan and Australia all in one day, visiting places on that private jet." Pierre said, smiling, "Man, being a hero has its price and its benefits."
"You tell me." Axel said, "I still can taste the Chow Mein and the Kishes I ate at those national banquets!"
Terra placed a palm on the bland wall. The wall emitted a bright glow: Access Granted! The computer voice said and the wall to the Security base open. The gang entered. They were greeted by Noah Tsubasa along with Lightning and the US Secret Service Trio Hawk, Eagle, Bird. Thunder was also at the base, chilling on a very comfy reclining chair at a comfy sitting area.
"Welcome everyone." Noah Tsubasa greeted the teens. He looked around, noticing something was missing, "Kami still didn't show?"
The teens shook their head. "I'm guessing she got all wierded out by the fact that you're working for us." Denzel said.
Noah sighed, "I guess so… well, no time to dwell on the past. The Gummi Ship is ready." Noah then faced Chip and Dale, "Right, guys?"
"Ready and totally upgraded!" Chip said, pushing a button that caused a large glass cylinder over at the base's corner to shift open. "Check it oooout!" Dale sang.
The Gummi Ship was revealed. It looked like a massive sophisticated Starship, tricked out with flashy wings, graffiti on its sides, the Chasers' Symbol at the nose of the ship, its body colored in crimson with sapphire trims. It was no longer a Gummi Ship.
"We had it ready for your voyage back to the Realm of Light." Noah said, "You spoke about it on your morning interview with Wendy Lee last Friday."
"Hmh! Wendy make such fine cakes!" Trayne remembered the interview, licking his lips.
"The ship comes with cosmic-powered blasters, a sun-powered shield, and an automatic feature for teleportation and speed charge." Noah said.
"It also includes a four-star lounge, thirteen bedroom suites, six baths, and a kitchen with a dining room that comes with its own chef, sous-chefs and butler… all robots of course." Chip said.
"Don't forget about the one billion dollar media-room installed to the ship, donated by the alliance of US Secret Service and NASA." Dale added, "Anything to make your adventure pleasant."
The teens couldn't take their eyes off the ship.
"DOES IT COME WITH A TRAINING CHAMBER?" Axel exclaimed.
"I thought you'd never ask." Eagle said before revealing an image of the training room. It looked like the Lobby of Mirage Arena. The teens breathed in awe.
"If you guys think this is cool. You should have seen what Land of Heroes looks like." Thunder spoke, catching everyone's attention. "Man, it's paradise!" he dreamt, "Wish we never left there."
"Land of Heroes?" Sierra blinked.
"We?" Violet said.
Thunder's eyes flew open, realizing what he just said. He quickly jumped off his recliner chair, "Uhh…"
"Dude, what are you talking about?" Axel asked Thunder. Thunder looked over to Terra who shook his head as a signal to keep his mouth shut.
"Err…" Thunder hesitated, "I meant… Land of Heroes? You know… in the uhh… in the game?"
Silence.
"You guys never visited that place in the game?" Thunder asked again, getting antsy.
"Ohhh!" the teens, except Axel, quickly got the message. Thunder and Terra breathed sighs of relief.
"Oh, Land of Heroes!" Jean-Michel exclaimed, "Yeah, we visited that place! I know what you're talking about! That place is like Treasure Island meets Hogwarts! It's large enough to find all treasure chests!"
"Land of Heroes?" Axel shook his head, "I never visited that place."
All eyes turned to Axel in shock.
"You never visited Land of Heroes?" Jean-Michel gasped, "Dude? Do you even PLAY the game?"
"You're like one of the best players and you never visited that place?" Violet was stunned, "Man, you need a lesson in worlds visit."
Axel simply shrugged.
"Speaking of world visiting," Terra said, "Don't we have some place to go to?"
"Right!" Thunder jumped off the recliner and joined the group, "Here's what we should do. We should travel the worlds in team." Thunder said to the Keybearers as he headed toward the Gummi Ship and stopped right in the middle underneath it, "By that I mean, we should split up, and make teams of three or four, depending on how many of us we are. It'll make it easier for us to clean up some messes and get rid of some Blackheart trash."
"I like the way you think." Axel replied.
"Wait… where are Donald and Goofy anyway?" Tandem asked, looking for the Disney characters, "They're not here to check out the ship?"
"Donald and Goofy won't be joining us for a while." Terra informed the group, "They had a behest to deal with."
"What kind of behest?" Axel asked.
"Why does it matter?" Terra firmly said, before facing Thunder, "Should we head out now?"
Thunder pulled out a remote control from his pocket, and just as he was about to push the button…
"You weren't planning on taking off were you?" Kami spoke, catching attention. She was with Taylor.
"Sorry I'm late." Taylor said to the group before she and Kami joined. Shortly Matt came in also. Taylor and Matt saw each other. There was some tension between the two.
Taylor tried to speak but didn't know what words to use so that it won't be awkward and won't make Matt as miserable as he was. Matt felt like he wanted to talk to Taylor but he rescinded, thinking that whatever he will say won't change how much Taylor hates him now. Both teens looked away from each other. The gang sensed the tension and stayed quiet.
"Where is Father?" Kami spoke, quickly changing the subject.
On cue, Noah approached his daughter, "Kami. You called?"
Kami faced her dad. Noah sighed, "Listen, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about—!"
"Tenshu is fine." Kami interrupted, "He's still resting. And you're forgiven."
Noah got taken by surprise, "…wait, that's it?" he said, "you forgive me like that?"
"Yeah! That's it!" Kami quickly said before facing Thunder, "Can we go now?"
Thunder was ready to push the remote control, but then he stopped when he was inches away, "By the way girl," he smirked at Kami, "thanks for opening the portal to the Realm of Light again for us! You still got it in you, except for that dual personality. What happened?"
"Grrr…"
"Okay, pushing." Thunder quickly went for the button on the remote and the entire team got teleported to the ship in flickering digital lights.
The Starship initiated its engines. The ceiling shifted and opened up to reveal the bright day sky. The Starship raised up from the ground, glided above the ceiling for a couple of seconds, and after that it took off into the sky in a lightyear speed. A Keyhole portal opened up far into the sky and swallowed the Starship. The heroes were gone, once again onto a new adventure.

"Your powers need polishing, young warrior." Yen Sid said to Rian, "You need proper training."
"Please, Master Yen Sid. I don't need training. My powers are totally fine." Rian threw a hand in dismissal, and a laser firework shot from it. The laser bounced at every corner of Yen Sid's study, shattering lightbulbs from his chamber and his desk lamp, almost striking Mickey, Pluto, Rian, and Yen Sid, burning books on shelves to crisp, and suddenly set Donald on fire, who just arrived at the scene with Goofy. He started screaming and running around, causing everyone to panic and Pluto to chase him. Mickey stepped in front of Donald, pointed at him and water stream shot from his finger, dousing the duck. There was an awkward silence when all eyes turned to a blackened duck, who glared back at Rian and coughed up a smoke.
"Maaybe I do need training." Rian grinned nervously.
