Alf Meets Kingdom Hearts: Departure
When we last left off, our heroes had just got done packing, and were just about to embark the Gummi Ship and take off when all hell broke loose; in the form of a gargantuan Heartless!
SWIISH! Sora swung the Keyblade, striking a devastating blow to the huge Heartless. The monster roared in pain. It raised its fists, which were about the size of a minivan, and slammed them down into the ground, intent on crushing the Keyblade wielder, who, by using his quick, agile, acrobatic moves, managed to dodge out of the way. He countered by summoning a fire spell, which blasted the monster with what looked like a huge fountain of lava! "What do you think of that?" the young Keyblade warrior asked the others, beaming with pride. "Donald taught me that just about a week ago, during practice at Disney Castle! Heh, heh, heh!"
"Quit showing off Sora!" Donald hopped up and down in annoyance. "Oh Donald! I got this under control! Would you please just rela…" suddenly the monster grabbed him in its arms, lifted him high into the air and threw him with all its strength! "…AAAAAAA!" Sora went sailing through the air, landing on the ground with a sickening thud!
"Sora!" Kairi shouted in terror. Everyone gasped in horror and ran towards the unconscious body. "Cure!" shouted Donald. He shot his staff at Sora, causing the Keyblade wielder to be surrounded by a glowing green aura! When the glowing stopped, they saw that Sora was back on his feet and showing no visible signs of injury! "Sora!" exclaimed Donald. "Are you OK?"
"Yeah, thanks to you Donald!" "Sora! Donald! Look out!" shouted Lynn. The two characters dodged out of the way just in time; for while they were talking, the monster Heartless had raised its fist again, and were about to crush the Keyblade Warrior and the duck sorcerer! Sora leapt into the air and one again pointed his Keyblade at the creature. "Ragnarok!" he shouted!
A huge stream of rays formed on the tip of the Keyblade, and shot out, blasting the giant Heartless head-on! The creature gave out one final ear piercing scream, before exploding in a bright flash of blinding white light. "Yeah!" Sora shouted. "You did it Sora!" cheered Lynn. "Heh! Of courseI did it!" "Don't get cocky Sora!" Donald warned. "Oops! Sorry!" He then turned to the others.
"OK guys! Now that Darkside has been defeated, it's time we we're on our way!" Everyone nodded, and they made their way to the Gummi Ship. Once onboard, Lynn, Brian, Jake, and Alf looked around in awe. The ship was huge! Even bigger than the Tanner's garage! Soon the wannabe heroes were scampering about the ship, examining every object, and saying things like, "Oh would you look at this interior!-Do you see all that machinery?-I wonder where that door leads?" And so on and so on. Suddenly they felt something tiny taping them on their ankles. "Hey you!" said tiny little voice. "Would you please cut that out?" The new heroes looked around, startled and confused.
"Down here!" Everyone looked down and found themselves face-to-face with two adorable looking little chipmunks. "We've been working our tiny little fingers to the bone; making sure everything is spick-and-span; maintaining this ship; and you all go around getting your dirty fingers over everything!" the one with the tiny black nose scolded. His partner, the chipmunk with the red nose and buck teeth, nodded in agreement.
"Are those two who I…think they are?" Brian started to ask. "Oh! Uh!" Donald said. "These two little guys are the mechanics and custodians of this ship: their names are Chip and Dale!" "Hey! What do you mean by 'these two little guys'?" "Well, anyway, it's time to start thinking about heading off!" "Hold it!" shouted Chip, just as the heroes were about to get ready for takeoff. "Take off your shoes first: I don't want dirty footprints all over my nice clean cockpit!" Everyone obeyed and they went into the cockpit and took their seats: Donald took over the controls. When they were all seated and ready Donald took the loudspeaker. "Does everyone have their seatbelts fastened? This ship tends to be kinda aggressive sometimes!" Everyone said yes and that they were all prepared.
"OK! Well then… Goofy, now!" Goofy nodded and pressed a switch, causing a loud rumbling sound that shook the entire ship. "Wha-what was that?" Lynn asked, startled. "Don't worry!" Donald replied, smiling. "That was just the main engines revving up! Just a little noisy, is all! Nothing that's gonna hurt us!" the others nodded, and they settled back down in their seats. "OK!" said Donald. "Get ready for takeoff in ten seconds! 10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…IGNITION!" Suddenly, before anyone had time to react, the Gummi Ships was already about a thousand feet in the air!
"WAHOO! Here we go baby!" Sora shouted in excitement. "Wow! This is so cool!" said Brian. Lynn nodded excitedly. Jake was laughing happily; and Alf was looking out the window. "Wow! This reminds me of my days in the Orbit Guard!"
Yup, everyone was definitely enjoying themselves. But all that changed when Brian, who had bee laughing and joking with Sora and Jake, looked out the window. Suddenly, his expression seemed to magically change from being joyful and happy, to that of sheer terror and shock! "Look! Look out the window!" he shouted. "Hurry!" The others quickly ran to were Brian was.
"What Brian? What's out the window?" asked Kairi. Then everyone gasped in horror. For out the window they could see a sinister black mist far below them, engulfing the land! "Wha-what is it?" asked Lynn.
"Darkness!" replied Sora. "Wha…?" "Apparently the Heartless have managed to find the heart of your world! As a result, your world is being devoured by the darkness! The darkness that exists in this world has finally overwhelmed it!" "Then that must mean there is a connection between this and this dream I had a couple nights ago!" said Lynn.
Flashback
Lynn was sleeping in her bed, when she started to have a strange dream. What she didn't know was that this dream had a meaning.
"What's going on? Where am I?"
She seemed to be floating in an endless abyss
"This world has been connected."
Lynn jumped in the air, startled, and turned around. She gasped to see herself facing a sinister black cloaked man!
"Tied to the darkness…soon to be totally eclipsed. There is so very much to learn. You understand so little."
"O-oh yeah?" Lynn replied, with nervousness evident in her voice. "Well, you'll see! I'm gonna go find what's out there!"
"A meaningless effort. One who knows nothing can understand nothing."
"W-what? Wait come back!
But it was too late; the man had disappeared into thin air!
Then she woke up!

"Really?" Sora exclaimed in shock. "Because I had an encounter with that same man, when I went on my first adventure nearly two years ago; and he said those exact same words to me!"
"But when can it all mean?" wondered Brian. "What could the Heartless and the Organization XIII want with us?" "The Heartless are born from the darkness in peoples hearts," Sora replied, "and then those corrupted hearts go to search for more hearts to consume with darkness, so they can create more Heartless, and make their army bigger and bigger and bigger!" "That's terrible!" "It gets worse!" replied Donald. "Much, much worse!" "Worse?" gasped Lynn. "How can it get…worse?"
