Hello readers! I would like to thank Kingdom Infinity and Jazz for reviewing the previous chapter as well as Thefoxking for commenting on chapter two in addition to four plus hunterrylee for favoriting and following along with dragonsage1993 for following! Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

Yep, they SURE are Jazz! After regaining the ability to use a variety of moves other than water-type, they nearly gave Tsutaaja and Zorua a run for their money! Zorua was DEFINITELY in awe! :D

The Nobodies stayed in the Pokémon World during Two Worlds Collide since they couldn't leave but you'll see where they currently reside soon enough... :P

Who knows? Don't get your hopes down! (:

It sure is amazing to see all of them! n_n

I'm glad I included the food fight too! Ü

Oh wow! C:

Whoa! :3

Just tell me if you decide to add them or not! :I

Cool! J:

I'll consider that! ^_^

Beating him was REALLY satisfying, huh? :1

I bet you are! (:

Thanks for the chat! I'll reply to your review in the next chapter of Of Thirty-One Days! See you then! ;)

Even though you are technically right on all accounts Thefoxking, both are true in this story since it's MINE; therefore, it DOESN'T have to be accurate.

Forms: Gekkōga (Greninja), Kyuukon (Ninetales)

Translation: Zoroark=Zoroark

Disclaimer: I do not own any aspect of Pokémon, Naruto, or Kingdom Hearts. They belong to their respective owners. I only own this and every other story I have.

Tsunade smiled at that. "Good. Be ready by noon tomorrow." She instructed before pointing at the door. "You're all dismissed; go get some sleep."

"So you're going now?"

After the six had left the tower, they continued walking until they were once again near the gates.

The pyro nodded as he faced the serpent. "Yeah, we will."

Tsutaaja quirked a brow. "Where are you guys staying?"

"Axel and I found an apartment in Twilight Town and settled there." The windswept shrugged as if it was no big deal.

Zorua's eyes widened in shock. "You two live together?!"

"What's wrong with that?" The keybearer stared at the asker, challenging him to refute.

The vulpine sweat-dropped. "Er, nothing. I didn't mean to offend anyone!"

"We technically have been ever since Roxas joined the Organization; after all, every member resided within The Castle That Never Was." The elder pointed out in an off-hand manner, diffusing the situation. "All that's different now is that we have a smaller roof over our heads and that we're closer than before."

Naruto cut in. "What a minute!" He drew all attention to himself at the exclamation.

"Shh! Do you want someone to overhear us?!" Sasuke berated, hushing his teammate. "Kono usuratonkachi!"

The chastised huffed, yet quieted down nevertheless. A few moments later, he commenced where he left off. "Didn't you mention something like that when we were fighting that Hydraken?" He directed the question at the snake who grunted.

"Yes. I mentioned 'The World That Never Was'." The verdant elaborated. Once she made sure that no one else was listening, she continued. "That was the Organization's stronghold before we took them all out. The Castle That Never Was is simply a part of it."

The Uzumaki appeared solemn. "...Okay." He then turned to the assassin. "Do you know anything else about the new threat we'll be facing?"

"Beats me." The addressed shrugged. "All we know is that it can control the Heartless and some pretty powerful ones at that. Be wary." All of the listeners nodded in understanding. The pair made to leave once more. "Bye now!"

The Jinchūriki was absolutely astonished as the ginger held a hand out, a portal of pure blackness materializing solely seconds later. "Whoa! What is that?!" His partner was just as surprised, only not showing it. The fox couldn't help but gape.

"Huh? You mean this Dark Corridor?" The looks he got immediately answered his question. The samurai shook his head at that before obliging. "They are unpredictable pathways made out of darkness which link most worlds. They allow their caller and whoever is with them to travel to wherever one can be opened at." He then crossed his arms. "However, they are dangerous to use because they corrupt the hearts of whoever is in them."

The tanned quirked a brow. "Then why do you use them if they'll corrupt your hearts?!"

"Idiot!" The Uchiha was unable to hold back a face-palm at the utter stupidity of the query.

The insulted glared at his partner. "Teme! Why did you call me that—"

"It's because Nobodies like Axel and me have no hearts to corrupt." He sighed. "I remember we told you this earlier."

The offender appeared guilty. "Oh. I'm sorry for forgetting that."

"It's fine; we're used to it." Once the expression had faded, the explainer began where he left off. "Anyways, the only ones who are safe when in them are Heartless, Nobodies, and the Princesses of Heart; Heartless already have corrupted hearts, Nobodies don't have hearts to corrupt like I said before, and the Princesses of Heart have no darkness in their hearts to allow the corruption."

The raven's interest was piqued. "Who are the Princesses of Heart?"

"They are seven maidens who have hearts of pure light but not all of them are necessarily princesses." The pyro picked up. "Their names are Alice, Snow White, Jasmine, Belle, Cinderella, Aurora, and Kairi." He suddenly became solemn. "You don't need to know more than that." The sable narrowed his eyes, yet reluctantly nodded.

Once the matter was settled, the two turned back to the portal. "We need to get going now." The incarnadine glanced down at the creatures. "It was nice seeing you both again!" He then switched his gaze to the fox. "Say hello to your mom for us!"

"I will! Meema will be very happy to hear this!" Zorua beamed, jumping up and down. "Can I learn how to make a Dark Corridor? I am a dark-type after all!"

Roxas shook his head. "I highly doubt you could since they are unable to function in the Pokémon World for some reason. Besides, you either need to be a denizen of darkness—like a Heartless or Nobody—or give yourself to the darkness in order to be able to use them; I'm pretty sure dark-type Pokémon don't qualify."

"Aww, no fair!" The disappointed's tail drooped before spontaneously perking up. "Ah well!"

The windswept smiled at that until realization abruptly dawned on him. "Here." He lifted a hand, auras of bright radiance surrounding the rest sans the snake before vanishing. "I casted a spell which prevents the Dark Corridors from affecting you; I already did it to Tsutaaja before she went on her first mission with us. Just in case you have to enter one." He shrugged. "That's one of the powers a light-elemental possesses."

"I thought you said only Heartless, Nobodies, and the Princesses of Heart can travel in one safely!" The flaxen brought up, the other agreeing immediately.

The elder held his hands to his hips. "Yes, they are the only ones who can do so naturally; those who are protected can also do so!"

"Cool!"

Having done that, the former agents started to step towards the opening. The carmine swiveled to gaze at the four. "Bye guys!"

"We'll be back for tomorrow!" The younger waved.

The serpent grinned. "Don't miss it!"

"See you!" The vulpine seconded.

The tawny cupped his mouth. "Don't be strangers!"

"...Don't be late." The stoic huffed.

With that, the pair crossed through, exiting the realm as the portal closed.

"Meema!"

As soon as the visitors had left, the remaining four split up after exchanging partings. The creatures wandered into the forest, looking for the evolved kitsune. A series of guttural growls was heard as they ventured further, Zoroark coming out of her resting place as the duo approached her.

The pup ran into his mother's arms, held within a tight embrace. The guardian smiled as her eyes landed on the serpent. "It's nice to see you again, Tsutaaja."

"The pleasure is mine, ma'am." The snake bowed immediately.

The cub beamed as he rubbed against his parent's cheek. "By the way, Axel and Roxas were here earlier and told me to say 'hello' to you for them!"

The adult's expression was fond as she reminisced. "I'm glad you got to see them again. I hope they come by soon; after all, I can't thank them enough for reuniting us." The parent then turned to the snake. "You as well."

"I appreciate your kind words." The squamata replied, tone respectful.

The grateful returned the gesture as she grabbed her son, placing him in her hair. The kit surfaced only seconds later, popping out. "Meema! Meema! Guess what?!"

"What?" The addressed responded as she petted her kin.

The verdant spoke up as the boy was too distracted as he nuzzled the paw that stroked him. "Tsunade-sama wants us to fight against Naruto and Sasuke in an arena tomorrow as a test of skill; she's gauging out strength for an upcoming threat."

"No! Not my baby! Not again!" She held her kid in an overprotective hold, refusing to let go.

The grasped was choking at the strength of the grip. "M-Meema! I c-can't breath!" The mom immediately released him, the victim wheezing as he struggled to get air back into his lungs. Once he had recovered, he spoke up. "It's okay Meema! I want to do this!"

"I don't want you to get hurt! I won't allow it!" The woman snarled.

The ectotherm stepped in. "Ma'am...from the time I spent with Zorua, I can tell you that he's very powerful. Besides, he already fought against one of them and was able to hold his own." She nodded in his direction. "Believe in him; he has a huge potential." She smirked. "And I'll be there to help him out."

"I want to be a Master of Illusions just like you!" The cherub beamed. "I want to grow stronger so please let me participate! PLEASE?!"

The mother could no longer resist the hopeful look in her child's eyes. "Oh fine. I'll be watching you." She then glanced at the other. "Protect him for me tomorrow and when that threat shows its ugly self, alright?"

"Yes ma'am." The reptile confirmed.

The pup grinned. "Thank you Meema!" The cub leapt into his parent's arms, both hugging each other tight.

Tsutaaja was touched as the heartwarming scene played out before her.

"Here we go!"

As soon as morning arrived, the three munched on some of the Berries that had been collected the day prior. Shortly afterwards, the adult offered to train them both for the upcoming battle, utilizing her Genzou to create powerful enemies for them to practice on. The pair dodged each incoming attack whilst dealing their own damage, effectively mowing them down. During that time, they also perfected combos, increasing their compatibility.

Once it was only ten minutes before the designated time, the creatures met up with their opponents who showed them the way to the stadium. Just before entering, two sets of tendrils spontaneously appeared around pitch-black shadows, them fading to reveal a certain duo.

"Yo!" Axel greeted.

Roxas waved. "Hey there!" He then turned, spotting the evolved. "It's nice to see you again Zoroark!"

"Same here!" The pyro seconded.

The guardian beamed. "I'm glad we got to meet again!"

"Sorry for interrupting this moment, but we have to get going now." The raven announced, not so apologetic.

His teammate glared at him. "Teme will never change!" He sighed. "But yeah, we need to go in before noon." At that, the heptad entered the building, being met with a spectacular sight; the bleachers were packed full, leaving no space between each person. "Whoa! There are so many people!"

"It's not like this is a common sight." The sable shrugged. "That's why there are such large numbers."

As the seven approached the arena, the bystanders branched off. "Try your best!" The samurai exclaimed.

"Don't hold back!" The assassin added.

The mother glared at the ninjas. "If you ever try to kill my son..." She trailed off, not needing to complete her sentence.

"Of course not! We aren't those type of people!" The flaxen gulped; he didn't want to be trapped in a relentless illusion filled with his worst nightmares until the very moment he dies and even then...

The onyx grunted. "We won't."

"Good." The smile she gave off was not warm. At. All.

The three went to take their seats as the four went to the field, going their separate ways.

As the tetrad went to their designated positions, an announcement went on. "Good afternoon everyone! Thank you for coming here!" The Hokage's voice could be heard throughout. "I had arranged this match against shinobi and Pokémon! Here we have Konoha's Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha vs. Zorua and Tsutaaja!" She paused for a few moments before continuing. "Minna, remember that this isn't about winning or losing, but a test of strength." The audience cheered at that. "Now that we have that out of the way, it's time for the fighters to get to their positions!" The addressed readied themselves into battle stances, anticipating the others' actions. "It's time to start!"

The Jinchūriki clasped his hands together, weaving some seals. "Fūton: Daitoppa!"

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" The giant fireball combined with the great gust, combining to form a gigantic sea of flames.

The metamorphose shifted into Gekkōga at that moment, launching a potent Hydro Cannon as a gushing geyser shot out of the serpent's mouth. However, even as the fluids made contact with the blaze, it had yet to be ceased. "Nani?!"

"How can this be?" The snake grunted.

The stoic smirked. "When Fūton is added to Katon, the resulting Shakuton is strong enough to overpower water!"

"What?!" The snake growled as she and her companion leapt, narrowly avoiding the conflagration.

However, the evaders weren't given a break even in midair. "Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu!"

"Fūton: Renkūdan!" The wind bullets fed into the draconic flares, causing the ignition to combust even further as they poured down.

"Use a ground or rock-type move!" As she said that, Precipice Blades erupted from the earth, raising toward the scorching storm.

The 'frog' nodded. "Wakatta!" He held his webbed feet in front of his body, a humongous boulder forming in front of them before being shot forward, both attacks snuffing the rain. "I get it! If water-type moves fail, then ground and rock-types are sure to succeed since they are also strong against fire!"

"Oh yeah? We aren't done!" The blond gained a golden aura as he spoke, a sinister being enveloping his partner. "Fūton: Chōōdama Rasenshuriken!"

The 'amphibian' looked on in horror. "Oh no! Not this!"

"This is bad." The reptile felt the same way.

"Enton: Susanoo Kagutsuchi!" The separate techniques collided into each other, becoming whole.

"Shakuton: Kōrin Shippū Shikkoku no Ya Zeroshiki!" The fuel caused the infernal wisps to enlarge, the pitch-black windmill spiralling towards its targets.

The two immediately got into defensive positions as they landed, arms shielding their faces. "Guard!" Twin shields enveloped them, both safely enclosing them...

The raven smirked. "Muimina." The projectile struck the first barricade, rotating in place as it couldn't continue its trajectory.

"Yes!" ...or so they thought. Suddenly, the outermost Protect caught into flames before cracking under the pressure of the missile. The second lasted only seconds longer, both shattering. "Sonna!" A huge explosion resulted as the technique made contact, a cloud of dust obscuring the area.

The sable's expression remained smug. "Don't forget that the flames of Amaterasu cannot be extinguished and can burn through anything."

"It's not like we don't remember!" The debris cleared, revealing the pair who were surprisingly...not combusted.

The tawny was shocked. "But how?!"

The fox grinned. "Just before that attack was going to strike us, I transformed into Kyuukon! One of its abilities is Flash Fire which nulls all fire-based moves when hit and instead powers up its own!"

"And since I used my Role Play to copy his ability, neither of us were affected by that Kagutsuchi!" The verdant seconded, features confident.

"Tch. No wonder." The raven humphed, annoyed. "So that's how Zorua wasn't affected by Amaterasu in the past." His expression spontaneously obscured. "Don't think you're off the hook though." At that moment, the targets flinched, dropping to their knees.

"Huh?" The word escaped the ectotherm's mouth.

The fennec was shocked. "What the?!"

"Don't forget that was Shakuton, not Katon." The Jinchūriki brought up. "You might be immune to the flames, but the wind is still a part of it! You couldn't negate the Fūton within!"

The vulpine growled. "No wonder we took damage!"

"We have to break them up; their compatibility makes them hard to defeat with their teamwork." The snake hissed.

The canine quirked a brow. "But how?"

"Here's the plan." Switching to Pokémonese, the two discussed the strategy they needed to take on in order to gain an advantage.

The flaxen was confused. "What are they talking about? I can't understand them!"

"That's the point. We have to be careful." The stoic deadpanned, narrowing his eyes. "Just what are they scheming..."

From the stands, Axel sighed. "Do you think that will work?"

"Who knows?" Roxas shrugged.

Zoroark began snarling like crazy. "Those humans better heed my warning!" She then smiled evily. "Because if they don't..."

"Just believe in your son and Tsutaaja." The assassin reassured. "Besides...you heard what they were saying, right?"

Her expression only became darker. "Oh I did..."

"On my mark!" In a flash, green tendrils sprouted from the grass-type's collar, the Giga Drain wrapping around the Susanoo before either shinobi could react, forcing the creator to extinguish it as his energy was stolen from him.

Her partner nodded. "Got it!" As Sasuke was forced to emerge, the beast rushed behind him, unleashing a conflagration which took on the shape of the kanji compounded by Overheat. "Thanks for the fire earlier!" The Uchiha glowered as he was left no choice but to avoid the blaze.

"It's just begun!" Naruto crossed his fingers, forming a new seal. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" Several Shadow Clones were created, all surrounding the reptile.

"U!"

"ZU!"

"MA!"

"KI!"

Exhibiting ExtremeSpeed, she swiftly evaded the replicas, utilizing her Power Whips to exterminate them in the blink of an eye before the tendrils lashed straight towards the original.

"Raikō Shishi Rendan!" Just as the combatant approached the metamorphose, the trickster snickered, weaving behind his person before unleashing another bout of flames. The intended leapt away, both opponents flying towards each other, backs first.

The squamata chuckled. "You fell for it."

"Gotcha!" The shifter instantly changed back into Gekkōga, a thread blasting out of his wrist as the airborne intersected.

The String Shot wrapped around the ninjas' dominant hands, trapping them together. "NANI?!"
