Okay, this next chapter will feature another world from the KH series. Hm, I wonder how I can include Agrabah, Halloween Town, Atlantica and/or the Grid into this fic, the Grid and Space Paranoids pretty much sum up the movies Tron and Tron: Legacy.

As obvious as the title seems, there are spoilers from Peter Pan: Return to Neverland included. I might be off a few details, but I apologize in advance. A slight spoiler from Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days

Disclaimer: Let's just say that all Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts games are Square's creations. Walt Disney created and owns the Disney movies, characters etc.

Chapter XI: Return to Neverland

Sanhille coolly addressed Lumaria, Kuja, Arlene and Weiss"I can only assume you had your own plan, now it seems that Sora holds one of the Twilight Shards. Taking Hostages isn't the way I do business, the princess of heart a possible exception. Only those with pure hearts can unlock the secrets to the pendant Droul stole."

"But why the queen of Radiant Garden and not the princess? If we all attacked at the same world together, surely Sora would've been destroyed" grimaced the white-haired Chaos Warrior.

"I will not make my move on that world just yet, and no one needs to die if I can avoid it. It matters not if Sora manages to collect all the shards first. However, I asked Raines to monitor possible worlds our opponents may visit. One more thing, my patience only holds out for so long. The next I hear if one among you so much as attacks and needlessly employs such cowardly methods, my keyblade may well be the last thing you see" warned Sanhille.

Kuja shrugged"Key-bearers are indeed not to be trifled with, and the Manikins are pure coincidence last I checked. Ah, well, I must be on my way back to my home world. My dear brother is in for a unpleasant surprise."

The other man paused for a moment"I only wish to banish the darkness, war is the least of my concerns. If my hunch is right, it can be done and I can finally rest."

Sora and his group traveled between lanes in the mixed realms. Noel, Serah and a few others went into the main hall of the Ragnarok II to discuss how to go on about their explorations.

"The recent battle with Kuja and Sanhille's goons was quite embarrassing" remarked Tifa.

"I'd personally not expect less from Chaos's warriors, they're just up to their old tricks" muttered Cloud.

Sora shrugged"Let's not sweat it, we're all okay and that's what matters. While we're at it, I wonder what world we'll get to next. I'm glad La Cite Les Cloches was returned from Sleep, but who knows what's next."

"Master Sora, Cid told me we're coming up on an island world" interrupted Tyler as he entered the room.

"Heh, just call me Sora, okay? What did it look like?" beamed the brunette hero.

The small blue haired teen replied eagerly"It looked like it was a small beach with a greenish landmass and a rainbow over it. Serenia and I were amazed at the sight of it."

'An island with a rainbow, sounds like Neverland' thought Sora, racing to the cockpit with the others.

Roxas and Xion were with Cid in the cockpit when they came in. Roxas addressed Sora"I remeber this world as well as you do, Ven told me he had been there too. Aqua and Terra probably have, but he never asked them."

"What kind of world is Neverland, father?" smiled Serenia.

Sora replied as he gazed at the island with the rainbow over it"You can call it a paradise for children, the only adults who live in Neverland are pirates or indians. A fairy also lives there, I think I told you about it before. I know the leader of the local group of lost kids who live there, his name is Peter Pan."

"Peter Pan lives there? Wow" gasped Tyler

Sora grinned for a moment"As I said, I've been here when I was still a teen. I am a grown-up now, I can't say Peter will be all that happy to see me again."

"How can anyone be such a child?" sighed Roxas.

"Hey, don't be a stick-in-the-mud. Peter doesn't have an adult's point of view on what it's like to be all grown-up, of course he would technically be an adult by now in years. His mentality and appearance are likely to be pretty much the same, so don't be surprised when you meet him" said Sora in Peter's defense.

"He sounds cool though, it's can't be easy leading a group of children on a remote island. I'd very much like to meet Peter" grinned Noel.

Sora thought as he considered how Peter Pan might react to seeing him as an adult"I might go down there, but I don't think I should let Peter Pan see me unless it's necessary. Serenia, Tyler, you two can go meet him if you want. Noel, Serah, Roxas, Xion, Ven, are you with us on this one?"

Serenia beamed"Why not? The place looks totally cool."

"Well what are we waiting for?" grinned Xion.

The group of eight teleported down onto Neverland, which is as vibrant as ever. Ven breathed in the fresh air"It's been a long time since I've been here, what do you think Tyler?"

"It's great" grinned the teenage boy.

"All right, let's split up into groups. Xion, Roxas, Serenia, Tyler, you'll form one group. The rest of us will keep an eye out for trouble" instructed Sora.

Roxas raised an eyebrow"I don't sense any Heartless here, are you sure?"

"Never can be too careful" murmured Xion.

Sora's group headed on northward, while Roxas led his towards the center of the woodland section of Neverland. Xion addressed her boyfriend"You've been here before, right?"

"Yes, back in our old organization days. I've never really met anyone there, I pretty much avoided them" said the male Nobody.

The group pressed on until they saw a red-haired girl with blue eyes and purple garments. With her is a green-clad teen with red hair and several kids dressed in animal-like clothing. Serenia approached the group"Um, excuse me."

The girl turns first"Who's there?"

"Sorry for the interruption, I'm Roxas" said the dark-clad key-bearer.

"I'm Xion. These two kids are Serenia and Tyler" chimed the black-haired woman.

The green-clad boy smiled"Welcome to Neverland, I'm the one and only Peter Pan."

"I'm Jane Darling" said the other girl.

"Nice to meet you" smiled Serenia.

Jane got right to the point"If you don't mind me asking, how did you get here? I was brought against my will, but enough about that. Where's your family?"

The red-haired key-bearer flushed"Sora and Kairi are my parents, Sora's here right now. Tyler is Master Ventus's son."

Peter beamed"You two are Sora's and Ven's children? I bet you'll love it here."

Tyler flushed"Um, actually, Sora and Ventus are here to explore the island as well. He has his reasons, but Sora thought it would be uncomfortable for you to see him again, because he's-"

"Tyler, remember what he said?" exclaimed Serenia.

"Ah, it's no big deal from the sound of it. You guys want to play? I'll ask Sora to join in when we run into him" beamed Peter.

Serenia flushed"Um, sure. You playing too, Jane?"

Jane nodded"Yes, you see, Peter and I got off to an awful start yesterday, even though he rescued me from Captain Hook. I lost my notebook because of Peter. I even lost my temper at his childishness, so we're making it up to each other."

"It's just great making new friends, and I am sorry we wrecked your notebook Jane. So what does everyone want to play?" grinned Peter.

Jane thought for a second"How about a game of treasure hunt?"

"A Treasure Hunt? Sounds great" grinned Serenia.

"Sounds like fun, what do you guys think?"

The Lost Boys cheerfully agreed with Peter. Roxas looked around"Hm, I don't see that little fairy around here. Did something happen to her?"

"Huh? Oh, Tinker Bell? She's not feeling well at the moment, but let's go" grinned Peter.

The whole group traversed throughout the island, getting to know each other as they talked. Tyler addressed Jane"How's your mom doing? Serenia and her dad talked about her and Peter Pan a couple years back."

"She's fine... I had a fall-out with her and my brother though..." sighed the older girl.

"Sounds like there's been a bit of drama" muttered Roxas.

Xion shrugged"Let's not get to wrapped up in situations that aren't your business. Hm, I bet I could find the treasure before everyone else if I teleport, but that wouldn't be fair would it?"

The group split up near a cave to look for the treasure, Serenia and Tyler went along with Jane to the cave itself. Inside, there was a treasure chest with a mountain of gold nearby.

"Whoa" whispered Tyler, astonished.

Jane appeared to think for a moment, as he pulled a silver whistle out of her shirt pocket. Serenia frowned"What's wrong?"

Jane sighed"Actually, last night, I made a deal with Captain Hook, he's a pirate. He said he'd take me back home if I helped him find some treasure that apparently had been stolen from him and his crew."

"Pirates are not to be trusted, they are fickle" frowned Roxas.

Jane nodded"Yeah, you're right. I will not help him, not in this manner." With that, she tossed the silver whistle away.

"Jane, Tyler, Serenia, you found it" called Peter as he and the lost boys showed up.

Tyler grinned"This was fun."

Peter smiled"All righty, let's celebrate."

While the others were talking, one of the lost boys found the silver whistle. Without a second thought, he blew it. At the sound of it, a group of pirates sprang out of the shadows.

"A trap?" squeaked Serenia.

"Very perceptive" sneered a voice as the pirate captain, a red-clad man with black hair and mustache approached. Where his left hand would've been, there was a silver hook.

"That's Captain Hook, I heard of him" whispered Tyler.

Hook sneered as his men captured the lost boys and bound Peter's hands behind his back. Tyler and Serenia summoned their keyblades, at which Hook laughed"Your friends' lives mean nothing, you two are helpless."

"Don't get cocky on us" Roxas and Xion rushed into the cave, Keyblades brandished.

Another instant later, a horde of Darkball, Wyvern and Elemental Heartless appeared. Xion frowned"We are only four people at this point."

"So much for you whelps. It's time for the prisoners to walk the plank!" snarled Hook.

"Wait, you swore you would not harm Peter Pan!" pleaded Jane.

"Ah, dear girl, you were mistaken. I swore I wouldn't harm a hair on his head, and this is the part I won't harm!" sneered the pirate captain, pulling out a strand of Peter Pan's hair.

Roxas scowled"You despicable-"

"Ah, ha, ha, you can't help Pan now" sneered Hook as he and the pirates hauled the prisoners away.

Peter shouted as he was dragged"You're a traitor, Jane. And because you don't believe in fairies, Tink's light is going out!"

Jane was shocked. Nearby, Roxas and his team faced the oncoming Heartless horde. Tyler was nervous as he held his keyblade"Think we can beat all of the monsters?"

"We have to try, we'll save Peter after this. Jane, head for cover" replied Roxas.

"What?" Jane froze in fear at the sight of the Heartless.

Xion launched a blizzard spell and thunder spell, eliminating the Element Heartless. The Darkballs surrounded her and struck, only for Roxas to teleport her out of the way. Serenia and Tyler attacked the Shadow Heartless, but there were around five-hundred heartless total.

Roxas sighed as he began to tire"This is getting out of hand."

"Fira!" A darkball heartless was wiped out. Sora, Noel, Serah and Ventus rushed into the cave and joined the skirmish.

'Goodness, it's like seeing a world war in person' thought Jane. A Darkball Heartless attempted to sneak up on her when it was cut down by Ventus's keyblade.

"Come on" Xion grabbed Jane's hand and led her out of the cave.

Ventus turned towards the remaining Heartless and cast a powerful Tornado spell on them. No sooner had the Heartless been defeated, Serenia addressed Sora"Thanks, how did you find us?"

"We were at the vicinity and saw some pirates sneaking up to the cave. We hid in the bushes until the pirates left, I noticed they were hauling prisoners away. We would've gone after them, but we sensed danger in the cave. Glad everyone's okay" eleborated Ventus.

Jane smiled"Indeed, thanks, but... Oh no, Tink!" she rushed out.

"Did something happen?" frowned Ven.

Roxas nodded"She apparently said something about not believing in fairies, a fairy is dying because of it. As for the prisoners, Peter Pan and his gang are captured by Hook."

"Blast! Well, let's go after Jane first. Maybe we can save Tinker Bell" said Ventus.

The group followed Jane a way to a tree, which is actually Peter's hideout, rooms were built inside it. As they entered, Ven shrugged"This place brings back memories."

"Where's Tink?" said Sora.

"Over hear" whimpered Jane's voice. The group approached and saw a blond green-clad fairy lying deathly still. Roxas was shocked, he hadn't imagined that fairies can die.

"It's all my fault" whispered Jane. Serenia watched as she held the small fairy and put her back down.

"This is why no one should say they don't believe in fairies out loud I suppose" said Roxas.

"Tink..." Sora trailed off.

Xion looked down for a moment and said"Hold on, we might be able to revive her."

"I'll try, Raise!" Serah's spell glowed above the fairy, but nothing happened.

"I hate to break it, but when someone is dead, even raise spells or phoenix downs can't do anything" sighed Noel.

"Serenia, Tyler, I still believe in fairies. What about you two?" grinned Sora.

The two younger teens nodded. Jane just sat near Tink, crying over her mistake. A minute passed as Tyler and Serenia closed their eyes and chanted'I do believe in fairies.' The rest of the group in the room chimed in, even Jane as a yellowish glow embodied the seemingly dead fairy. Instantly she rose and came alive.

"Long time no see, Tink" grinned Sora.

Tinker Bell smiled at Sora, despite his adult body. Jane was relieved as she saw the fairy"Tink, thanks goodness!"

"If we're done here, let's go kick some pirate butt" grinned Ventus.

"Oh my gosh, I just remembered" said Jane.

Sora turned to the exit of Hangman's Tree"We should take down Hook for good."

Serenia nodded"It's payback time!"

Tinker Bell enthusiastically flew to Sora's side. Jane addressed the brunette Keyblade Master"Will you take me with you? It's my fault Peter got captured."

"All right, but don't give us any trouble" interjected Roxas.

The group traveled southward to Pirate's Cove following Tinker Bell's lead. In the ocean, just off the coast was the pirate ship. Sora addressed his allies"Captain Hook's a major bonehead, but he's still a skilled swordsman. Serenia, Tyler, Ven, you rescue the Lost Boys. I have a feeling that Hook will try to deal with Peter personally, but I can find him while you guys deal with the pirates."

"I may be a helpless girl on my on, but I'm helping you whether you like it or not" piped Jane.

The group approached the boat when they heard Peter's voice address the Lost Boys"Don't let'em see you cry."

"His voice came from the plank" said Jane.

Three Pirate heartless encircled the captain Lost Boys, who were tied up to the mast. Swift as the wind, Ven used tornado to take out the Heartless. Tyler and Serenia rushed over to the mast to free the hostages.

Sora and Jane crept towards the plank, where Hook was taunting Peter as the crusty pirate prepared to toss him off the ship. Sora coolly addressed him"Yo Codfish, remember me?"

Hook turned around and was surprised"Why you impertinent... You!"

"That's right" said Sora, summoning the kingdom Key.

Hook brandished his sword"You a friend of Pan's? Prepare to walk the plank!"

"Not so fast, don't you see? You'll never win, Hook. Not so long as there's faith, trust, and pixie dust" said Jane. Tinker Bell took the cue and sprinkled her pixie dust on Sora and Jane.

Hook thrust at Sora, who dodged and countered with a fire spell. The enraged captain swung his sword wildly, prompting Sora to weave around and avoid Hook's sword.

Jane took the opportunity to free Peter while Sora had Hook distracted. Peter Pan drew his dagger, thanked Jane and hurried over to jab Hook in the back. Annoyed, Hook turned to face Peter and was met with a blizzard spell to the back.

Ventus freed the captives, but not before a wave of fifteen Pirate Heartless appeared. Xion frowned"Hook's vindictiveness must have drawn them here" and cast thunder on two heartless. Ventus joined in with Tornado while Serenia and Tyler helped the Lost Boys safely back onto the island.

Sora dodged Captain Hook's blows as he swung at him and Peter. Peter skillfully blocked the blade with his dagger and sliced at the feather on the captain's hat. When Hook furiously swung at Peter, Sora cast aero on the pirate captain. The spell knocked Hook back, who countered with a thrust. Sora dodged that and struck again with thunder. Peter followed that up with a jab to the evil man.

Roxas and Xion cut down the Pirate Heartless with ease, but a Manikin shortly followed. Roxas was astonished to see it looked like Xion. Xion shrugged"This shouldn't be a problem."

The Xion Manikin was having none of it and transformed. Instantly, it turned into a monster resembling Xion's armored form. The black-haired keybearer winced"This is like when Roxas and I..."

"I hate dwelling on the past" sighed Roxas as the Manikin swung it's sword. Roxas blocked the blow and countered, only to be met with a blow across the chest. Xion healed her boyfriend while Ventus attacked the Manikin with Strike Raid.

Sora and Peter Pan had the upper hand as they double-teamed Captain Hook. The pirate was crafty however as he threw a bomb at them, the two dodged and were barely nicked by the explosion. Hook got back on his feet and lunged, but Sora beamed him with the back of his keyblade and shoved him down hard with Gravity. The impact was so strong that Hook made a hole through the middle of the ship as he fell.

Roxas, Ventus and Xion were holding their own against the Manikin when they felt the tremor. Sora and Peter hurried on over and stabbed the manikin in the back. Sora addressed them"Quick, we have to get off."

The group got off the ship and left. Peter addressed Sora"It's really you Sora? Man, you're sure all grown up."

"Hey, no worries, I'm still the same guy. It's been a long time, Peter" smiled the Key-bearer.

"Hey Peter, it's me, Ventus" smiled the other man.

The group turned to see the ship sinking, though Captain Hook made it back on board somehow. The captain clung to a part of the ship and pitifully cried out.

"You know the rules, Hook. A good captain always goes down with his ship" grinned Peter.

"B-but I don't want to be a good captain!" screamed the man as his ship sank. Roxas shook his head'that pirate is such a child himself.'

As the boat sank, Hook somehow clambered onto a rowboat. Behind him however was an octopus. Sora grinned"Man, I wouldn't want to be him. It's what he gets, though."

Hook frantically sailed away with the octopus in pursuit. Sora addressed Peter"It was nice to see you again, sorry it couldn't be under better circumstances."

"Ah, no sweat. So what are you going to do now?" grinned Peter.

"Wait, look" cried Serenia as a keyhole appeared in the sky. Sora and Roxas recognized it as the same type they saw at La Cite Les Cloches and pointed their keyblades as it.

"What's with the light show?" said one of the Lost Boys in awe.

"You'll see" said Serenia.

The Keyhole shortly vanished, leaving another orange shard in it's wake. Sora recieved the Twilight Shard and said"Yet another shard, at this rate the mystery of the Twilight Crystal might be solved."

"Twilight Crystal? What's that?" frowned Jane.

"An artifact of great power, we don't know exactly what it is either" replied Roxas.

Peter shrugged"So you and your friends are leaving, Sora?"

"Yes, and what about you and Jane?"

"Jane can fly now so I can return her to London. It was nice hanging out with you guy" smiled Peter.

"Well, it's a long way home" said Jane.

Tinker Bell went over to Serenia and conjured up a bright green orb. Sora recognized it as a summon gem"You're helping us again, Tink?"

The fairy nodded.

"Summon gems contain great magic, don't they?" said Serenia.

"Yes, and this gem has a healing power" elaborated Sora.

unbeknownst to the group, a dark gummi ship-style warship hung above Neverland. Cid Raines stood on the deck'It seems the Keyblade Master has found another shard.'

"If Sanhille's hunch is correct, they'll fall into our trap" said Kadaj.

Raines grimaced"It is a primitive maneuver at best, but our best one nonetheless."

Kadaj grinned"Then I may get even with Cloud the next time we clash."

"Just don't get overzealous, Sanhille gave specific instructions to lay low as we observe their movements" said Raines.

"As if, but you might be correct" a woman in a PSICOM uniform approached.

Raines shrugged"Nabaat, I'm grateful for your help. Yet in our homeworld, we were supposed to be working against each other."

Kadaj turned to go back into the warship's cabin'Soon, Cloud. Soon we'll clash again.'

"My sentiments are no diffrent then yours. Oh, and Raines, don't think I won't turn on you if I must" sneered Nabaat.

Raines was unfazed at the woman's words'I hate watching and taking no action. But it's either this or back to the dead for me. On top of that, I had somehow regained my I'Cie powers, but that has no bearing at present. The fal'Cie are no more, but stilll.'

Another chapter finally finished. Oh, and if Cid Raines and Nabaat were OOC, sorry. I hadn't played Final Fantasy XIII in a long time.

Feel free to review if you'd like.
