Chapter 3: Another Keybearer!
In what looks like a rocky valley there are five figures that are waiting for something.
The first figure is a creature with a red upper body and red tail, black lower body, light blue claws, black head with black demon like horns, black spikes on the shoulders, light blue eyebrows, a light blue ponytail, yellow eyes, and wearing black spike bands on both wrists.
The second figure is a small blue creature that looks elderly, wearing a black outfit, has a white mustache, white stick of hair, two black horns, and yellow eyes and is carrying a wooden stick.
The third figure is a rather skinny creature with a pink upper body and pink zigzag tail, black lower body, has dark purple hair, wearing black spiked bands on both wrists and one around the neck, has two black and purple horns, yellow eyes, and a blue tongue is sticking out.
The fourth is a rather obese creature with a yellow upper body, black lower body, yellow claws, wearing black spiked bands on both wrists, has six black and red horns, and yellow eyes and is carrying what looks like meat with a bone.
The fifth figure is a female with a light green upper body with black rings and a light green curly tail, black lower body, has green hair, has black hands with pink claws, has one black and pink horn, and has yellow eyes.
Just then the shadowy figure from before arrives at the rocky valley and meets the five figures.
"You're late, Zor! You'd best have good information!" The red figure said.
The shadowy figure reveals to be a short creature with a grey upper body and grey tail, black lower body, has dark purple hair with a bang covering his right yellow eye, has light blue claws, wearing black fingerless gloves on both hands, has two black and light blue horns that are down, and has the left yellow eye and is carrying a blue rose.
"I kinda do. I was spying on a bunch of losers, and they went into that old wizard's tower. Before then, they met that sad scientist." The grey creature named Zor explained.
"So, the Doctor was at the tower as well." The blue elderly creature said.
"What were those 'losers' up to?" The red creature asked.
"I managed to listen in while they were inside the tower, and the master of the tower explained everything about the Black Xetis and the Heartless. He also told about creatures called 'Haviks' and 'Nobodies', and 'Brotherhood of Disharmony' and 'Organization XIII'." Zor explained.
"How interesting. Tell me, what happened then?" The red creature asked.
"Two of those losers are actually wielders of the Keyblades." Zor answered.
"Ah, yes. The Keyblades. I have heard that there would be masters of those." The blue elderly creature said.
"If that's not enough, one of those Keyblade guys said that the Horned King is defeated." Zor said.
"What?! How is that possible?" The red creature asked.
"Apparently, one of the Keyblade people had something to do with it." Zor answered.
"I see. So, this means the Deadly Alliance is finished. It seems we're on our own now." The red creature said.
"Those Keyblade thingy guys sound promising to take on! I wanna mess 'em up!" The pink creature said.
"Calm yourself, Zazz. Your time with these people will come soon enough. We'd best know who we're up against." The red creature said.
"If the Horned King and the Deadly Alliance is done, then that Void Citadel is no longer available for us. We must seek a new base." The blue elderly creature said.
"Agreed, Master. I believe I know just the place." The red creature said and the six leave the rocky valley.
Meanwhile in the space area known as the Lane Between a light portal appears and Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, and Murray leave the Mysterious Tower and are now in the Lanes Between and they are covered in light for protection and they look around.
"Well, here we are. Just like on our own adventure." Ky said.
"Now all we have to do is find a world, and go to one." Elena said.
"Uh, I think I can only see one." Max said pointing at a world that has a castle at the top and there is a town in the middle.
"Only one?" Noel asked.
"That's crap!" Ken said.
"Also, we don't even know what that world is. None of us have been there before." Blaze said.
"Neither have we." Zuko said.
"Well, this could be a good chance to see what this world. It's always good to explore something new." Ky said.
"You're right on that. Let's go." Bentley said.
The group go for the world and Ky and Noel point their Keyblades at the world and create a light trail and then create a light portal and the group follow the light trail and go into the light portal and they go into the world.
In what looks like a town many people are walking around the town and near the town the light portal appears and Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, and Murray fly out of the light portal which disappears and the group look around.
"This is kinda new to me." Ky said.
"Same here." Noel said.
"Hey, look at that!" Zatch said pointing at something.
The group look up to see what looks like a giant castle that looks like is being constructed.
"Just where are we?" Ky asked.
"Hmm." Tails takes out a new techno map. "Fortunately, I have created a new techno map. According to my new techno map, we're in a world known as 'Hollow Bastion'. It's clear we've never been here before." Tails said.
"We should take a look around." Sly said and everyone nods.
"Pika!" Storm said pointing at something.
The group look at what Storm is looking at and they see Soldier Heartless and Zombie Black Xetis on a roof and they disappear.
"Great. Those bastards are here too." Ken said.
"We've got some fighting to do." Shadow said.
"That won't be a problem." T.J. said.
"Well then, let's get going." Ky said.
(World of Hollow Bastion)
(Field Theme: Reviving Hollow Bastion)
(Hollow Bastion: Marketplace)
The group start making their way through the town which has markets and while exploring they come across three little ducks with white feathers.
One duck is wearing red and a red cap.
The second duck is wearing blue and a blue cap.
The third duck is wearing green and a green cap.
"Hey, look! It's Max!" The duck in the red cap said.
"Hey, yeah! How've you been?!" The duck in the blue cap said.
"Well, well, if it isn't Huey, Dewey, and Louie." Max said.
"I take it you know them." Noel said.
"Yeah, those three are from the same world as me." Max said.
"So, what're you doin' here, Max?" The duck in the green cap named Louie asked.
"Just goin' on an adventure with my other friends." Max answered.
"Wow! You're goin' on a journey?! You're just like your dad!" The duck in the blue cap named Dewey said.
"So, what're you three doing?" Max asked.
"Oh, we're running shops for Unca Scrooge! We run the weapon shop, accessory shop, and the clothes shop." The duck in the red cap named Huey said.
"Speakin' of which, I think some of you guys need some newer duds!" Louie said.
"Well, now that I think about it, I kinda do need some new clothes for me. Now my clothes are starting to become uncomfortable." Elena said looking at her old clothes.
"Eh, what the hell? I kinda do want some new clothes. These old ones are annoyin' the crap outta me now" Ken said.
"Well, you two came to the right place! We'll take you to our clothes shop!" Dewey said.
Elena and Ken go into the clothes shop and later on the two finally come of the shop and they look different.
Elena is now wearing a sleeveless violet top that's almost the same but it has pink markings on the violet top, violet semi-long belle sleeves on both arms, a pink medium skirt with cyan markings on the pink medium skirt, violet bandages on both legs, light blue shoes, and her long light blue hair is now tied to a long ponytail and she's still wearing her ruby amulet around her neck.
Ken is now wearing a sleeveless dark green vest that's revealing his abdomen and there are black flame designs on the dark green vest, black bands with blue spikes on both arms, dark green pants with dark orange side stripes on sides of the dark green pants, and dark red sandals and he's still wearing his black goggles with the red flexible frame wrapped around his forehead.
"So, how do I look?" Elena asked.
"Wow. You look nice, Elena. I like it." Ky said.
"Thanks, Ky. That means a lot coming from you." Elena said blushing again.
"But my clothes are better, right?" Ken asked.
"You look like it fits you well, Ken." Noel said.
"I'll take that as a compliment." Ken said.
"You look like a bad boy." T.J. said.
"Thanks for the new clothes, you three. You're so sweet." Elena said.
"Yeah, thanks a bunch, but how much do you want?" Ken asked.
"Oh, don't worry about that. That's on the house for bein' Max's friends." Huey said.
"Wow. Thank a ton." Ky said.
"Well, we'll see you three around." Max said.
"See ya later, Max. Good luck on your adventure!" Louie said.
The group continue to make their way through the marketplace of the town and they later come across another duck that's older and is wearing a blue robe and a top hat.
"Mr. Scrooge." Max said.
"Another person you know?" Kiyo asked.
"Kinda. He's from the same world. I think he and my King traveled together." Max said.
"Huh? Who's there?" The older duck asked named Scrooge as he turns to see the group. "Ah, if it isn't little Maximilian! You're a little more grown up since the last time I saw ye! You were just a wee lad! Now look at ye! You're hale and hearty, just like your father!" Scrooge said.
"You're kinda embarrassing me, Mr. Scrooge." Max said.
"So, what're you doing?" Ky asked.
"Ah, I'm just tryin' to recreate this old favorite ice-cream flavor of mine, but no matter how many attempts I do, they always seem terrible." Scrooge explained.
"You poor man. Is there something we can do to help?" Noel asked.
"No, no. I don't want ye to waste your time." Scrooge said.
"Say, Mr. Scrooge, sir, is there anywhere to go from here?" Tails asked.
"Aye. There's the borough just up ahead. You should go there next." Scrooge said.
"Okay. We'll try that. Thanks." Ky said.
The group make their way for the next area of the town.
(Hollow Bastion: Borough)
The group arrive at the next part of town which is the borough area and the group take a look around but just then something appears from the ground and it's a white pillar like device and it goes around the group.
"What the hell?" Ken asked.
"What is that?" Zuko asked.
"Dunno, but…" Ky was cut off.
"Yoshi!" Lucky said pointing at something.
"Pikachu!" Storm said pointing at something.
"Eevee!" Grace said pointing at something.
"What?!" Elena asked.
The group see three figures fighting against something and it's the Horror Haviks.
"The Haviks!" Ky said taking out Dawn of Hope.
"Those three are in trouble! We have to help them!" Noel said taking out Radiant Salvation.
The group run to scene and they confront the Horror Haviks.
(Battle Theme: Scherzo Di Notte)
"Hey! Let us handle this! We got it!" Ky said.
"You sure?" One of the figures said and it's a boy.
"Trust me, we can take 'em!" Ky said.
(Information: Defeat the Haviks!)
The Horror Haviks attack the group with their crimson claws but Ky triple slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a wide slash with his Keyblade while Noel delivers two horizontal slashes with Radiant Salvation and then delivers a diagonal slash with her Keyblade but the Horror Haviks deliver leaping attacks with their claws and bite with their fangs but Elena casts Blizzard while Ken casts Fire but the Horror Haviks try to attack but then the white pillar devices attack them allowing Storm to unleashes electricity while Grace uses Growl but the Horror Haviks attack with their claws but Lucky uses Egg Throw while Max uses Shield Boomerang but the Horror Haviks bite with their crimson fangs but Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Zuko unleashes a barrage of fireballs but more Haviks appear and it's the flying demonic creatures known as Terrors and the Terror Haviks swoop down to attack but Tails shoots shots from his blaster while Bentley throws bombs but the Horror Haviks leap attack and pounce but Murray triple punches while Shadow uses Chaos Spears but the Terror Haviks shoot fireballs but Sly uses Dive Attack while Blaze uses Fire Tornado but the Horror Haviks bite with their crimson fangs while the Terror Haviks deliver flying attacks but T.J. slashes with his knife but the Horror Haviks slash with their claws while the Terror Haviks swoop down to attack but Ky and Noel both deliver slashes with their Keyblades and then deliver wide slashes and the group defeat the Haviks.
"Oh, YEAH! Those Haviks are DONE!" Murray said.
"I don't think we're ready to celebrate." T.J. said.
"Yeah. More could be coming." Ky said.
"Hey, you guys. That was pretty awesome! Nice work!" The boy voice said and the group turn to see the three people.
One is a boy who appears to be fifteen-years-old with spiky light brown hair, has blue eyes, wearing a black short sleeved hooded top with white trims on the short sleeves and has some red on his shirt, black fingerless gloves, black shorts with yellow and red pockets, black and yellow shoes, and a silver necklace with a crown at the end.
The second is what looks like a duck with white feathers that looks like Huey, Dewey, and Louie except he's older and he's wearing a blue and white hat with a zipper at the end, blue long sleeved shirt, light blue scarf around his neck, and two ring bracelets on both wrists.
The third is a black dog that looks like Max except he's older and he's wearing a big yellow hat with small red goggles, green long sleeved shirt with a black sleeveless vest over the green shirt, yellow pants, white gloves, and black shoes.
"Thanks. At least you're okay." Ky said.
"We could've handle them ourselves, you know!" The duck said.
"Hey, we were just trying to help." Elena said.
"And we're all very grateful. Thank you for helpin' us out." The dog said.
"Uh-oh. That voice…" Max said with worry.
"Hey, wait a minute. Those weapons you two have. Are those…?" The boy stops talking as he notices Ky's and Noel's Keyblades.
"Oh, you mean our Keyblades…?" Noel asked.
"What?! You two have Keyblades too?!" The duck asked shocked.
"No way! I thought I was the only one who has a Keyblade." The boy said as he summons a key weapon with a silver edge and teeth that looks like a crown shape, yellow hilt, grey handle, blue circle, and a silver chain with a silver mouse head symbol at the end.
"Whoa! You got a Keyblade too!" Ky said.
"That's shocking." Zuko said.
"Just who are you three?" Shadow asked.
"I'm Sora." The boy named Sora introduced.
"Donald Duck." The duck named Donald introduced.
"Name's Goofy." The dog named Goofy introduced.
"Good to meet you, So… Wait a minute?! YOU'RE Sora?!" Ky asked.
"Yeah. Why?" Sora asked.
"Because we met someone by the name of Yen Sid, who told us everything about our adventure, and he told us to find someone named Sora, since he'd help us with our journey." Noel answered.
"You met Master Yen Sid?!" Donald asked.
"Gawrsh, looks ya just found Sora." Goofy said.
"Guess so." Ky said.
"By the way, who're you guys? We never got your names." Sora said.
"I'm Ky. These are Noel, Elena, Ken, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm the Pikachu, Grace the Eevee, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky the Yoshi, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Max." Ky introduced himself and his friends.
"Nice to meet you, Ky. You too, Noel." Sora said.
"Likewise." Noel said.
"Hold on. Did ya just say Max?" Goofy asked.
"Yeah. He's with us." Ky said.
Goofy then sees Max.
"Maxi, is that you?!" Goofy asked.
"Uh, hi, Dad…" Max said and Goofy hugs Max.
"Maxi! I can't believe you're here too! Hold on, what're ya doin' here?" Goofy asked.
"Uh, well…I kinda snuck outta the castle after you and Donald left on your journey, and I thought I wanted to go on my own adventure, but I crashed into a world, and that was when I met Ky, and I've been with him ever since." Max explained.
"Wait, WHAT?! You SNUCK out of the castle?! Without the Queen knowing?!" Donald asked jumping up and down.
"Wow. And, you've been goin' off with Ky on his adventure? That means, you've been doin' well on your own adventure! I'm so proud of ya!" Goofy said.
"Don't say that, Goofy! He LEFT the castle!" Donald yelled.
"Why does that matter?" Sora asked.
"It's irresponsible! He could've made the Queen worried sick!" Donald said.
"But he's fine with us. Cut him some slack, Birdbrain." Elena said.
"WHAT?!" Donald yelled.
"You heard me. Shut up. Your screaming is hurting my ears." Elena said.
"Why you…!" Donald growled.
"That's it. THUNDER!" Elena shouted as she summons a lightning bolt and it strikes at Donald.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Donald screamed while being struck by lightning and he's fried.
"I'm really sorry, Dad." Max said.
"Aw, don't be. Although Donald's right, I'm still proud of ya! You're growin' up." Goofy said.
"Anyway, now that we found you…" Ky was cut off by another white pillar device coming.
"This again." Blaze said.
"Why do they keep coming?" Bentley asked.
"What's the purpose of this?" Tails asked.
"Oh, don't worry. That's the town's defense mechanism." A voice said.
The group look up to see who said it and they see a young woman with short black hair and is wearing a black sleeveless top, black fingerless gloves, black shorts, black boots, and a black band around her forehead.
"Who're you?" T.J. asked.
"Yuffie!" Sora said.
"You know her?" Sly asked.
"She's our friend from our first adventure." Goofy said.
"Hey! Good to…" The woman named Yuffie cuts herself off. "Look out!" Yuffie yelled.
Just then Dusk Nobodies appear and they surround the group.
(Battle Theme: Scherzo Di Notte)
"Nobodies…!" Ky said taking out Dawn of Hope.
"They're here. Hope you're ready, Ky, Noel." Sora said.
"I think I am." Noel said.
(Information: Defeat the Nobodies!)
The Dusk Nobodies attack the group with their arms but Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a vertical slash while Noel delivers slashes with Radiant Salvation and then delivers a horizontal slash but the Dusk Nobodies attack with their heads but Sora delivers slashes with his Keyblade known as Kingdom Key and then delivers a swing slash but the Dusk Nobodies slither around and attack but Elena shoots magic shots from her staff while Ken shoots magic music notes from his guitar but the Dusk Nobodies attack with their arms but Donald casts his Thunder spell but the Dusk Nobodies slithers around and aerial attack with their arms but Goofy throws his shield while Max uses Shield Boomerang but more Nobodies appear and they look like samurais and the others look like warriors and they attack with their swords but Zuko slashes with his broadswords and then deliver a jet of flames while Blaze shoots fireballs but the Dusk Nobodies attack with their arms but Tails unleashes Magic Hand and it delivers a punch while Sly attacks with his cane but the Samurai Nobodies attack with their katanas but T.J. uses Knife Throw while Kiyo has Zatch use Bao Zakeruga but the Warrior Nobodies attack with their swords but Shadow multi punches while Murray uses Turbo Charge while Bentley shoots darts but the Dusk Nobodies slither and attack with their heads but Lucky delivers a headbutt while Storm electric punches while Grace tail whips but the Dusk Nobodies attack with their arms while the Samurai Nobodies attack with their katanas while the Warrior Nobodies slash with their swords but Ky delivers two vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a diagonal slash while Noel delivers two horizontal slashes with Radiant Salvation and then delivers a swing slash while Sora triple slashes with Kingdom Key and then delivers a wide slash and the group defeat the Nobodies.
After defeating the Nobodies and winning Yuffie jumps down and confronts the group.
"Hey, everyone! I see you're still in top form." Yuffie said.
"What did you expect? You're doing okay." Sora said.
"What did YOU expect?" Yuffie asked and then looks at Ky, Noel, and they're friends. "You know, for new people, you do know how to fight!" Yuffie said.
"Thanks. We know how to deal with them." Ky said.
"Let us introduce ourselves. We're Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, and Murray." Noel introduced the group.
"Good to meetcha!" Yuffie said.
"So, how're the others?" Donald asked.
"Great!" Yuffie answered.
"Hey, Yuffie. You haven't seen Riku or the King, have you?" Sora asked.
"Nope!" Yuffie answered and Sora hangs his head down. "But I had a feeling I'd see you guys again." Yuffie said.
"Right! 'We may never meet again, but we'll never forget each other'." Sora said imitating someone.
"Isn't that supposed to be Leon?" Yuffie asked.
"Where is he?" Sora asked.
"The others are over at Merlin's house. C'mon!" Yuffie said and looks at the other group. "You guys should come over too. I think you oughta meet 'em." Yuffie said.
"Okay then." Ky said.
"Just where is Merlin's house?" Zatch asked.
"Just follow me." Yuffie said as she leaves.
"Well, looks like we'd better follow her." Elena said.
"Yeah." Ky said.
"Hey, Ky, Noel. I got a question. Your adventure, what was it like?" Sora asked.
"We'll tell you if you tell us." Ky said.
"Gladly." Sora said.
The group make their way through the borough and Ky and Noel tell Sora about their own adventure since wielding their Keyblades and meeting new friends while trying to find the people they care about and what they went through while defeating enemies such as the Deadly Alliance and the Fearmongers along with Black Xetis and Heartless, Zervik and Rixla, and the Count Faust and then Sora starts explaining his previous adventure since wielding his Keyblade and meet Donald and Goofy along with other new friends to different worlds while trying to find his best friends Riku and Kairi while Donald and Goofy were trying to find their King while defeating Heartless and defeating villains such as Jafar, Ursula, Captain Hook, and Maleficent and also dealing with a villain named Ansem but after their journey they ended up falling asleep but have awakened recently.
"Wow. That's quite an adventure you got." Ky said.
"You must have been through a lot." Noel said.
"I should say the same to you guys. You guys must've gone through more." Sora said.
"Well, yeah, but so have you. I take you found this Kairi, right, because you asked about finding this Riku." Ky said.
"Yeah. Kairi's back at our island home, but I wanted to find Riku, so we can go home together." Sora said. "What about you? You found your mother and your friends, right, Ky? I take that you also found your brother, Noel?" Sora asked.
"Well, yeah, but Sophia wasn't my real mother, and she's gone. Nex is on the dark path, Griff is at who-knows-where, and Pax is dead. Now, I'm trying to find Griff and Nex." Ky said.
"I also found my brother, but I told Luke that I wouldn't come back yet." Noel answered.
"You also said you had more friends, but now they're gone?" Donald asked.
"They were sent back after their worlds were restored. I wanted them to be happier." Noel said.
"Gawrsh, you two seemed like you've been though MUCH." Goofy said.
"Yeah, but hey, that's what makes us strong." Ky said.
"Well, I'm glad you guys got through okay." Sora said.
"Same to you." Noel said.
Later on the group find a house.
"Is this Merlin's house?" Blaze asked.
"Looks like a crappy house." Ken said.
"Hey! Watch your mouth!" Donald yelled.
"Shut up, Birdbrain. I wasn't talkin' to ya." Ken said.
"Hey! Show some respect!" Donald yelled.
"Whatever, Mom." Ken said.
"Argh!" Donald grumbled.
"Let's go in." Tails said.
The group enter the house.
(Hollow Bastion: Merlin's House)
The group are now inside the house and they find three people.
One is a young man with brown hair, grey eyes, wearing a white shirt with a black short sleeved jacket with a fluff collar over the white shirt, black gloves, black pants, black boots, and a necklace with a lion head symbol at the end.
The other is another woman with green eyes, long brown hair tied to a long braid, wearing a pink shoulder less dress, a red bow on her hair, and brown boots.
The third and last is what looks like an older man with blond hair, wearing a white shirt, blue pants, grey boots, and a wheat sticking out of his mouth.
"Meet the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee!" Yuffie said.
The three then turn to see Sora, Donald, and Goofy.
"We missed you!" The woman said.
"Well, if you ain't in top shape." The older man said.
"I knew it." The young man said.
"Knew what?" Sora asked.
"A while back, everyone suddenly remembered you at the same time." The young man answered.
"So, that means you forgot about us?!" Sora asked.
"Thanks!" Donald said.
"Hey, Ky, Noel! Meet these guys!" Yuffie said.
"Uh, hello." Ky said waving at the three.
"Oh, hello. I didn't think we'd have new faces. I'm Aerith." The woman named Aerith introduced.
"Howdy. Name's Cid. Good to meetcha." The older man named Cid introduced.
"It's nice to see some new people around. I'm Squall Leonhart, but you can call me Leon." The young man named Leon introduced.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Ky." Ky introduced.
"I'm Noel." Noel introduced.
"I'm Elena." Elena introduced.
"Name's Ken, and don'tcha forget it!" Ken introduced.
"I'm Max Goof. I'm…Goofy's son." Max introduced.
"My name is Miles Prower, but everyone calls me Tails." Tails introduced.
"I am Blaze the Cat." Blaze introduced.
"I'm Shadow the Hedgehog. The one and only Ultimate Life Form." Shadow introduced.
"I'm Kiyo Takamine." Kiyo introduced.
"I'm Zatch Bell!" Zatch introduced.
"I'm T.J." T.J. introduced.
"My name is Zuko." Zuko introduced.
"I'm Sly. Sly Cooper." Sly introduced.
"I'm Bentley." Bentley introduced.
"And I'm 'The Murray'!" Murray introduced.
"This is Storm the Pikachu and Lucky the Yoshi." Ky introduced Storm and Lucky.
"This is Grace the Eevee." Noel introduced Grace.
"It's really nice to meet all of you. I know we'll be good friends." Aerith said.
"Oh, yeah. Get this, Ky and Noel are also Keyblade masters." Sora said.
"You serious?" Cid asked.
"Show me." Leon said and Ky summons Dawn of Hope while Noel summons Radiant Salvation. "I see. So, Sora and the King aren't the only ones." Leon said.
"Hey, Sora, where have you, Donald, and Goofy been doing all this time?" Yuffie asked.
"We were sleepin'." Goofy answered.
"Where, in cold storage?" Cid asked but the tri shake their heads.
"It doesn't matter. What matters is we're all together again." Aerith said.
"So, have you guys seen Riku or the King?" Sora asked but everyone shakes their heads.
"What about Griff or Nex or some others like Fulgur, Oswald, Sonic, Princess Peach, and Mario?" Ky asked but everyone shakes their heads again.
"Oh." Sora said.
"Sorry, but let us know if you need help with anything." Aerith said.
"Thanks." Sora said.
"Now, don't go thankin' us just yet." Cid said.
"Hollow Bastion's got a problem. A big problem." Leon said.
"You mean, like Heartless and Nobodies?" Sora asked.
"And Black Xetis and Haviks?" Noel asked and everyone nod.
"We'll take care of it." Sora said.
"Then let's cut to the chase. Sora, Donald, Goofy, we were hoping you guys would lend us a hand." Leon said.
"Like we're gonna say 'no'?" Sora asked and Leon slightly chuckles.
"I forgot who I'm dealing with." Leon said.
"Hey, what do you mean by that?" Donald asked.
"Think of it as a 'Leon compliment'." Aerith said.
"Also, Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, we thought you guys might help us too." Leon said.
"No problem." Ky said.
"We'd never abandon someone in need." Noel said.
"Hmph. That's what I like to hear." Leon said as he walks for the door. "Follow me to the bailey. There's something I want you to see." Leon said as he leaves.
Just then a puff of cloud appears and it's an elder man with a white beard, wearing blue robes, and a blue hat.
"Oh, I thought that was you. Right on time." The elder man said.
"Merlin the Wizard!" Donald cheered.
"Sora said he's gonna help out. Also, we got some new faces. This is Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, and Murray." Yuffie said.
"Oh-ho! New people, I see! A pleasure to meet you." Merlin said.
"Likewise, Mr. Merlin." Ky said.
"Please, just Merlin is fine, my dear boy. Now, we'll count on you all." Merlin said. "Oh, did you give Sora the cards?" Merlin asked.
"Oh, that's right" Aerith said taking out three cards. "These are presents for all of you. Leon thought you'd want them." Aerith said giving Sora, Donald, and Goofy cards.
"'Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee Honorary Member'." Sora read the card.
"Membership cards!" Donald said.
"Kinda cool, huh?" Goofy said.
"We'll also make some cards for you and your friends, Ky and Noel." Aerith said.
"Thanks. Hey, Sora, we're supposed to go to the bailey." Ky said.
"Right! C'mon!" Sora said.
"Hold on, Sora, how is your magic?" Merlin asked.
"Oh, my magic?! I forgot about that…" Sora said.
"You probably forgot while you were sleeping." Yuffie suggested.
"Now, what am I to do with you? I can lend you a few spells, but be careful." Merlin said giving Sora some magic.
(Obtained: Blizzard: Sora)
"Thanks, Merlin." Sora said.
"How about you, Ky, Noel?" Merlin asked.
"Oh, we know how to use magic." Ky said as he casts Blizzard and Noel does the same.
"Well, well. Very good. You two seem like you could use another spell. Here you are." Merlin said giving Ky and Noel a spell.
(Obtained: Water: Ky and Noel)
"Thanks." Ky said.
"Let's hurry to the bailey." Noel said and the group nod and they leave Merlin's house.
The group go through the borough area of town and they climb up some stairs and they later go for the next area.
(Hollow Bastion: Bailey)
The group arrive at the bailey and they find Leon who is standing near a railing and the group come to him.
"Look at that." Leon said pointing at what looks like an evil castle with a Heartless symbol on it and below the castle is a bunch of Heartless.
"Whoa! That's a crap load of Heartless!" Ken said.
"Yeah. We want to restore Hollow Bastion back to how it was before. Who knows, maybe something even better. It's a lot of work, but I know we can pull it off, except for that…" Leon then points at another ground level and there are two Dusks. "…That…" Leon then points up at the air where there are two Phantom Black Xetis. "...That..." Leon then points at a cliff from afar where there are ten Horror Haviks. "...And that." Leon said.
"We can handle 'em." Sora said.
"So can we." Ky said.
"Well, that's good to hear." Leon said. "So, Sora, Ky, Noel, do you know what's going on?" Leon asked.
"Well, there's this guy named Pete, who has been plotting with the Heartless." Sora said.
"Pete?!" Max asked shocked.
"You met him before, Max?" Goofy asked.
"At a world called Empire City, and I kicked his sorry fat butt." Ky said.
"Yeah. He's not smart enough to tie his own shoes." Sora said.
"There's also another enemy. His name is Dr. Eggman. He's plotting with both the Black Xetis and the Heartless." Ky said.
"Given that he's a doctor, I think he's smart than he looks, but we have no intention of losing to him." Noel said.
"Yeah. The ones we need to worry about are the Nobodies and the Haviks." Ky said.
"And Brotherhood of Disharmony, who are in charge of the Haviks." Zuko said.
"Let's not forget Organization XIII, who are in charge of the Nobodies." Goofy said.
"You called?" A voice asked and it's a deep voice.
"Who said that?" Kiyo asked.
Ky, Noel, and Sora run out to see where the voice came from.
"You three are doing well." Another voice said and it's a calm voice.
"This calls for celebration." The deep voice said.
Just then Dusk Nobodies appear.
"Them again!" Elena said as she and the others go after the Dusks from outside.
In the bailey more Dusk Nobodies appear.
"Hey!" Ky yelled as he, Sora, and Noel go after the Dusk Nobodies.
"We'll have to take them down!" Sora said and the three take out their Keyblades.
"I'll help out." Leon said as he takes out a silver blade with a gun at the bottom with a chain with a lion head symbol on the gun.
(Battle Theme: Desire For All That is Lost)
(Information: Defeat the Nobodies while defending the gates!)
The Dusk Nobodies go for the gates but Ky delivers slashes with Dawn of Hope and then casts Blizzard while Noel delivers three vertical slashes with Radiant Salvation and then delivers a swing slash while Sora slashes with Kingdom Key but the Dusk Nobodies attack with their arms but Leon slashes with his Gunblade at the Dusk Nobodies destroying them but then Creeper Nobodies appear and transform into blades and slash at Leon but Noel quickly casts Water to wash away the Creeper Nobodies and Sora triple slashes with Kingdom Key and then delivers a leap slash but the Creeper Nobodies transform into lances and stab at the ground but Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope and then casts his Water getting rid of them but Samurai Nobodies and Warrior Nobodies appear and slash at the gates.
"No you don't!" Ky yelled. "POWER!" Ky shouted he transforms his clothes into green and white and enters Valor form and now has both Dawn of Hope and Brave Star.
"I can too! LIGHT!" Noel shouted as she transform her clothes to lavender and white and enters Valor form and has both Radiant Salvation and Graceful Blade.
"Whoa! You guys have that power too?! In that case, GIVE ME STRENGTH!" Sora shouted he transforms his clothes into red and black and he wields both Kingdom Key and another Keyblade that's blue, has a light hilt, stars and moons on the edge, yellow orb in the teeth, and a light blue chain with a crescent moon at the end known as Star Seeker.
Ky starts slashing at the Warrior Nobodies with both Dawn of Hope and Brave Star and then delivers a cyclone slash while Noel delivers a horizontal slash with Radiant Salvation and then delivers a vertical slash with Graceful Blade but the Samurai Nobodies slash with their katanas and sheaths but Sora delivers slashes with both Kingdom Key and Star Seeker and then slam his two Keyblades to the ground and unleashes a light wave but the Warrior Nobodies slash with their swords but Leon shoots a shot from his Gunblade but the Samurai Nobodies attack with their katanas but Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope and Brace Star and then puts Brave Star front of one foot and then delivers a multi kicking slash with Brave Star and then slams Dawn of Hope hard on the Nobodies while Sora double slashes with Kingdom Key and Star Seeker and then delivers a spinning slash with the two Keyblades while Noel slashes with both Radiant Salvation and Graceful Blade and then delivers a double kick and then delivers a swing slash with Graceful Blade and the three finish off the Nobodies and they're all gone.
Ky, Noel, and Sora revert back to their normal clothes.
"Nice job, you two! You're really awesome with your Keyblades!" Sora said.
"You too, Sora!" Ky said.
The three then get outside.
"The Keyblades, the power of the Prince of Light, and the power of the Child of Light and Darkness. Such marvelous weapons. Were they only in more…capable hands." The deep voice said and laughter is heard.
"Show yourself!" Sora yelled.
Just then a corridor of darkness appears and it's a hooded black cloaked figure.
"It's…" Noel stops talking.
The hooded black cloaked figure raises his hands up and six more hooded black cloaked figures appear.
"Organization XIII!" Goofy said.
"So, they're here already." Tails said.
"Good, now we can settle this!" Sora said.
"I couldn't agree more! Let's get 'em!" Ky said.
"What a shame. And here, I thought we could be friends." The deep hooded black cloaked figure said and more laughter is heard and they start to disappear.
"Hey!" Donald yelled.
"Get your asses back here!" Ken yelled.
Ken and Donald chase after but then someone appears in their way and it's another hooded black cloaked figure.
"What the hell, man?!" Ken demanded.
"Yeah! What's the big idea?!" Donald demanded.
"Oopsy-daisy." The hooded black cloaked figure said and it sounds like a relaxed voice.
"Move!" Sora yelled.
"Now, you think that's polite? Shuttin' me down like that?" The relaxed hooded black cloaked figure asked.
"Are you deaf or something?! Get the hell outta our way!" Ky yelled.
"As if! You guys can talk all you want, but it won't change a thing." The relaxed hooded black cloaked figure said.
"Then we'll have to MAKE you move!" Donald said.
"If you're not careful, we'll have the pleasure of taking you out!" T.J. yelled.
"Now, see, that could work, if I was some any old dude. 'Cept I'm not. I'm with the Organization. Nothin' old about me." The relaxed hooded black cloaked figure said.
"Hmph! Tough talk for somebody who stood on the sidelines while his Nobody flunkies did the fighting!" Sora said.
"Oh, dear. I think you've got the wrong impression." The relaxed hooded black cloaked figure said.
"What?! You gonna cry?!" Sora asked.
"Let's see you do that!" Ky said.
"As if! Why don't I remind you guys how tough the crowd you're dealing with really is." The relaxed hooded black cloaked figure said.
"Remind us?" Sora asked and then makes and angry face.
"Hahahahahahaha! That's RIGHT! He used to give me the same exact look!" The relaxed hooded black cloaked figure said.
"I guess you can try and psych us out by saying really random stuff!" Sora said.
"Gee, I just don't know." The relaxed hooded black cloaked figure said.
"Just what are you up to…?" Noel asked.
"Sorry. Can't tell ya. You'll have to figure that out on your own. You be good kiddies now!" The relaxed hooded cloaked figure said as he disappears in a corridor of darkness.
"Wait!" Donald said.
"No you don't, asshole!" Ken yelled.
Ken and Donald try to stop him but the corridor of darkness disappears.
"Nuts! He got away!" Donald said.
"Because you're freakin' slow!" Ken said.
"Oh, be quiet!" Donald yelled.
"Make me, bitch!" Ken yelled.
"Stop swearing!" Donald yelled.
"Both of you shut up!" Elena yelled.
"I don't get it. Who gave him the same look?" Sora asked.
"Ya know, I think he was just tryin' to confuse ya." Goofy said.
"Organization XIII do seem like a tricky bunch." Ky said.
"Yeah. You're right. There's only one me." Sora said taking out his card. "'The Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee Honorary Member'." Sora read the card.
Just the card begins to levitate from Sora's hand.
"What's going on?" Zatch asked.
"I dunno." Ky said.
Just then Ky's, Noel's, and Sora's Keyblades appear while the card starts to glow in light and a crown appears under Ky, Noel, and Sora who are now transported to an ethereal place and the card reveals what looks like a keyhole and so Ky, Noel, and Sora use their Keyblades to shoot their beams of light and they hit the keyhole and are back to Hollow Bastion.
"What was that?" Sora asked.
"I think this was the gateway Yen Sid told us about." Noel said.
"You know of that too?" Goofy asked.
"Yeah. I think we just found it." Ky said.
"Oh, boy!" Donald cheered.
"How convenient." Sly said.
"Hey, sorry to run, Leon, but other worlds are calling." Sora said and Leon nods.
"Organization XIII…they sound really tough. I'll bet this Brotherhood of Disharmony will also prove to be a threat. Watch yourselves." Leon said and Sora nods.
"See you soon!" Sora said.
"See ya around, Leon." Ky said.
"Be careful." Leon said and the group nod.
"Hey, Sora. We have a common enemy, you know." Ky said.
"Yeah. I can see that." Sora said.
"I think it would best if we…" Noel was cut off.
"Work together? You bet! We can go to worlds, fight off the Heartless, Nobodies, Black Xetis, and Haviks. We can also try to find our friends." Sora said.
"Yeah! We help you find this Riku and this King." Ky said.
"And we'll help you find this Nex and Griff." Sora said.
"This sounds promising." Elena said.
"Looks like we'll make a good team!" Goofy said.
"Can't wait." Shadow said.
"We should get going." Zuko said.
"Right." Ky said as he and Noel use their Keyblades to summon a light portal.
"Whoa!" Sora, Donald, and Goofy said at the same time.
"You three coming?" T.J. asked.
"We'll meet you there. We got ourselves a ship." Sora said.
"Okay. See ya." Ky said as he and the others go into the light portal before it disappears.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy go for a ship which is red, yellow, and blue and has white wings.
"What do you think about Ky, Noel, and the others?" Donald asked.
"They're really nice guys. I can tell we'll watch each other. Let's go!" Sora said as the Gummi ship leaves Hollow Bastion.
(Theme: Organization XIII)
Meanwhile in the white room with high thrones the six Organization figures appear on different thrones.
"Do my eyes deceive me? Do they really have the power to wield the Keyblades? They're nothing but mere children." A hooded Organization figure said and it's a serious voice.
"Oh, give them a chance. It means they're as straight as an arrow. They're all pure of hearts, unlike any of us here." The relaxed Organization figure said.
"They had better be, or else they're all worthless." The calm Organization figure said.
"I truly hope they're enjoying themselves on their adventure together. Maybe they'd like a hand to determine their fates." An Organization figure said and it's cockney voice while pulling out a card.
"Hey, as long as it works in our favor. We can let them do whatever they want to for now, then we'll jump in if needed." Another Organization figure said and it's a cool but lazy voice.
"Those are bold words coming from you. You saying you'll volunteer when things go wrong? Huh?" The relaxed Organization figure asked.
"What? Me? No, you've got the wrong guy. I'm not comfortable with that." The lazy Organization figure said.
"You act as though you have a conscience. When was the last time any of us felt anything?" The serious Organization figure asked.
"Truer words were never spoken. I suppose the fun will have to wait." The cockney Organization figure said.
"Do you know what happens to those who lose their true purpose? Inevitably, they destroy themselves." The calm Organization figure said.
"Gentlemen. The heroes of the Keyblades have finally met, and have embarked on a new adventure. Make sure it is one that they will remember. Now go." The deep Organization figure said and the Organization figures disappear and leave the room.
"No. I, is it true that the Prince of Light and the Child of Light and Darkness have met the other Keyblade master?" A voice asked and it's the deep and dark hooded black cloaked figure.
"Indeed, Special Rank I." The deep Organization figure answered.
"Excellent. I look forward to what will become of them. Perhaps seeing what they are capable of might prove to help us." The deep and dark Organization figure said.
