A/N: 413 reviews! GOOD GAWD, I CAN'T BELIEVE SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE THIS STORY SO MUCH! Haha, you guys are awesome! So, in this chapter, we get back to traveling with Sora, Donald, and Goofy for about a couple of more chapters, until we have to go back to HB for the Space Paranoids! Well, at least, that's how I've gotten it planned out! Please enjoy!

"So, how'd things in Atlantica go? Were your friends there doing well?"

"Yep, and not a single Heartless swimming around!"

"That's good to know. What about everything at Disney Castle? Did everything go well?"

Sora nodded, grinning widely. "Yeah, and get this; We got to go back in time! We saw what Pete used to look like, and we even saw when they started building the castle."

Hope laughed. "Sounds like it was fun."

"It was. You missed the funniest part though, Hope. Donald got lectured by his girlfriend."

Donald glared over at him. "You said that you wouldn't say anything about that!"

Hope giggled. "Don't worry, Donald! I won't tell!" The duck mumbled under his breath, turning his attention back to driving the Gummi ship while Hope looked back over at Sora. "So, where are we headed to next?"

Sora pointed to the map that was shown on one of the many screens in the Gummi Ship. "Here. It's called Port Royal."

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

The smell of salt water instantly hit my nose as we were beamed down from the Gummi Ship and onto the ground below. Now I understood why they called this place was called Port Royal. As we all took a glance to the side, we instantly ran forward, stopping at the edge.

"Wow!" Donald exclaimed.

"This place is…" Sora began.

"Kinda different." Goofy finished.

"And as in kinda different, I'm guessing that you guys think this place is pretty creepy, too…" I mumbled. As if on cue, screams could be heard from where I guessed to be the town, causing the four of us to run over to stare down at it.

"Something's up." Sora stated, a frown on his face.

"Organization XIII?" Goofy asked.

"Or the Heartless!" Donald squawked.

"Or both." I said quietly.

"Only one way to find out." Sora said, leading the way down towards the town. As soon as we rounded a corner, I noticed Pete was also here, and obviously causing trouble, as usual. There were a group of people around him as well, and let me just say, they didn't look all that friendly. "Hey!"

"See there? I knew it! Those are the punks I was tellin' ya about." Pete said to the group, gesturing over to us.

I summoned my sword when I heard him insult us, including me. "Hey!"

"Who're you calling punks? It's Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Hope to you! And don't you forget it!" Sora exclaimed angrily.

"That we won't. And we'll engrave it on your tombstone, to be sure." The man that Pete had been talking to directly before said, a smirk appearing on his face as he glanced at us.

"Woah! I like your style." Pete complimented.

"Men-half of you stay here and indulge these cullies. The rest-bring me that medallion!" The man ordered.

All the men raised a fist into the air. "Aye!" As soon as they had said that, they were all going off in different directions, several staying behind to fight us.

Sora spoke with feigned disappointment. "Aw, we only get to stomp on a few of you?"

I smirked slightly. "A few is better than none though." With that said, I lunged and attacked the nearest one, jumping back as he pulled out a gun and began to shoot at me. I blocked the bullets by hitting them back at him with my blade, and by simply dodging them with relative ease. When I tried to land a hit though, the guy didn't even seem affected by my blow. I glanced over to see Sora and the others having just as much trouble as I was, moving back over to them to stand in a circle.

"It's no use! We can't beat them!"

"Aye, whaddya expect?" One of them asked Sora.

All the sudden, the moon came out from behind the clouds and shined down on the men that we were currently fighting. I almost screamed when they turned into nothing but decaying bodies. "Gross…"

"You'd best be saying your prayers."

"Hey, watch out! They can see ya! Stay away from their magic!" Pete warned, and I couldn't help but smirk.

"What for?"

"Weren't you listenin' to me before?

"Hey, Pete, thanks for the tip!"

I smirked at Pete as he realized that he had just given away these men's weakness. "Magic, huh? One of my main specialties. Allow me to demonstrate!" I casted an Aero spell, hitting the men head on. Sora stepped in and slashed a couple, and that's how we fought, using magic and battle skills, until we were the only ones left standing.

Pete glared at us. "Hey! This ain't over!" Pete exclaimed before taking off.

"If Pete's here, that must mean we have work to do." Sora stated.

We all nodded in agreement with him, Goofy speaking up. "Yep. And that pirate captain looked pretty mean, too."

"You forgot to mention creepy." I added in, shuddering as the memory of the captain came back to me. Talk about some weird stuff…

"Man, I'd hate to see him turn into a Heartless." Sora said to us, frowning at the thought.

"Make that two of us…" I mumbled.

"Well, we ARE here…" Donald stated.

Sora turned around to face us. "Hey, maybe we can take a pirate ship out for a spin!" Donald and Goofy stared at him shock for a moment, while I giggled. Eventually, Sora crossed his arms behind his head and grinned at us. "Just kidding! Weren't those guys headed into town?"

"Yeah. I think they were looking for treasure." Goofy said, glancing off into the direction of town.

"Then I guess that we should be going there then."

And so, we made our way towards town.

As soon as they entered town, they spotted a woman slung over one of the pirates shoulders, the woman struggling to get free. "Where are you taking me! Let me go!"

A man ran in front of them. "Elizabeth!"

Several shadows appeared around him, and Hope noticed that the woman was still being taken away. "Sora, take care of that problem! I'll try and get that woman away from them!" Hope ordered, taking off after them. When she had managed to catch up, the woman had been carried onto the boat, and the boat was already beginning to sail away. Hope sighed dejectedly, turning around when Sora and the others arrived several minutes afterwards, the man from before with them.

"We're too late…"

"Huh?"

"Those pirates kidnapped Miss Swann and took her to their ship. Now they've sailed, and I'll never be able to find her!" The man explained, frowning sadly.

"Then she's long gone. The Black Pearl is nigh uncatchable. Best find yourself another girl, mate." A man said, Hope frowning at him slightly. He was a rather…odd looking character, that was for sure, who was wandering around on a ship that was clearly not his.

The man that Sora and the others had saved from earlier frowned at the other man, turning around and walking over to the ship he was on, Sora, Hope, Donald, and Goofy following him. "You…What are you doing aboard the interceptor? She's off limits to civilians."

The man went about his business. "Ah, fortunate that I'm going to commandeer her, then." At this, Sora frowned. "She'll make a fine pirate ship." And at this, Sora got an excited look on his face.

"A pirate!"

The man looked over at them, a small smirk on his face. "Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please."

The other man, who's name Hope still had yet to learn, crossed his arms across his chest for a moment in thought before speaking. "Take me with you. Help me hunt down the Black Pearl and save Miss Swann. I got you out of that jail cell, Sparrow. Do this and your debt's repaid."

'This guy here broke him out of jail? Man, this world has a seriously bad crime rate…'

"You'll have to win fair lady's heart alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me."

"C'mon, Captain!" Sora pleaded.

"Are you sure you can sail her, all on your own?" The man asked, causing the captain to put a hand to his chin in thought, before nodding.

"You've a point there."

Sora fist pumped the air, causing Hope to laugh slightly at his enthusiasm as they boarded onto the ship.

"Thanks, Sparrow." The nameless man thanked, walking past him as he corrected him.

"CAPTAIN Sparrow."

"I'm Sora." Sora said, gesturing to himself. "This is Hope, Donald, and Goofy."

"I'm Will Turner." The man from before introduced.

While the captain and will spoke for a moment, Donald and Goofy both looked over at Sora. "Sora…"

"You really wanna be a pirate?" Goofy asked.

"Of course not!" Sora exclaimed, making his way over to Jack as soon as he was done speaking with Will, Hope right behind him.

"What do you two make of this Will?"

Both of them shrugged. "I don't know. We just met him."

"Hmm…I think my luck's about to change."

"Huh?" Hope mumbled, not sure as to what that was supposed to mean exactly. Sora pushed her back onto the ship, and before she knew it, they were sailing away.

A/N: AHHHH! *Sniffle, cough* Ugh, sorry about how this ended, but I wasn't sure how I should've ended it, so I ended it there. This is gonna be a two parter most likely. I'm sick, so I'm updating stuff while I'm out of school. Ugh…Great, now I just used my last tissue D: And I don't think we have another box…While I go and hunt for another box of tissues, you guys review! LATER TATERS!
