Chapter 62: Battle in the System

(Space Paranoids: Pit Cell)

Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, and Goofy return to the pit cell and revert back into their data forms and they look around for Tron.

"Gawrsh, I wonder where Tron is." Goofy said looking at the terminal.

"Don't touch that!" Donald yelled.

"Huh?" Goofy asked and just then something happens to the terminal.

"Goofy!" Sora said.

"What's gonna…" Ky was cut off as he, Noel, Sora, and Donald are transported.

"Uhh…I didn't do it!" Goofy said as he gets transported as well.

(Space Paranoids: Game Grid)

The five are now transported to an arena.

(Battle Theme: Byte Smashing)

"I didn't touch nothin'." Goofy said.

"Welcome to the game grid!" A voice said and it's Sark.

"Game grid…?" Noel asked.

"That's right. You've been selected to play a few games. Lose, and you will be subject to immediate de-resolution. Win… Well, no one wins." Sark said.

"We're not gonna play your games!" Donald yelled.

"You have no choice." Sark said.

"Then bring it on!" Ky said.

"Yeah! Get on with it!" Sora said.

Ky, Noel, and Sora get on light cycles and start riding their way through the arena but motorcycle Heartless appear and attack but Ky charges his light cycle while Noel guards while Sora slashes with Kingdom Key defeating the Heartless.

Just then a giant robot Heartless appears and shoots a shot at the three who dodge and the shot hits the wall instead revealing a hole.

"We can escape through there!" Ky said.

"Okay! Let's go!" Sora said.

Ky, Noel, and Sora ride their light cycles through the arena while dealing with motorcycle Heartless and they attack, guard, and charge defeating them but more motorcycle Heartless appear while walls appear to block their way but the three keep riding their light cycles while turning around to get away from the walls and defeating motorcycle Heartless and later on they find the hole on the wall and make their way for it and reach the end.

Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, and Goofy are transported back to the pit cell and they find Tron on the ground.

"Tron!" Sora said.

"Are you okay?" Ky asked.

"I don't understand… Why are you here?" Tron asked.

"We came to give you the password." Noel said.

"Why didn't you just transmit the data?" Tron asked.

"Transmit?" Donald asked.

Tron is about to faint but Ky, Noel, and Sora catch him.

"Are you okay?" Sora asked.

"I'll be alright…once we access the DTD." Tron said.

The group leave the pit cell and return for the canyon.

(Space Paranoids: Canyon)

The group go through the canyon to reach the dataspace and they later go for the next area.

(Space Paranoids: Dataspace)

The group arrive at the dataspace and find a computer and Tron starts to access it.

"Now, what's the password?" Tron asked.

"Belle, Snow White…" Donald stops talking.

"Aurora, Alice, Jasmine, Cinderella…" Goofy stops talking.

"Kairi." Sora said.

"And, Virtus." Ky said.

"Kairi. Virtus. Got it." Tron said as he uses the computer and something happens. "That did it." Tron said.

Just then an alarm is going off.

"Now switching DTD over from hibernation to active mode. This process will take some time. Please enjoy a game while the process is running." A voice said.

"Not another game!" Ky said.

"No. It's the DTD's final security routine. This is no game. Stay focused!" Tron said.

(Battle Theme: Byte Bashing)

Monitors appears and they have Heartless symbols on them and many Heartless appear.

The Heartless start to attack but Ky double horizontal slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by casting Thunder while Noel vertical slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by a flip slash while Sora diagonal slashes with Kingdom Key but the Heartless attack again but Donald casts Blizzard while Goofy uses Goofy Bash while Tron throws his identity disk to strike and after enough clusters are collected Ky uses the clusters to shut off one of the monitors while Noel also shuts off another monitor while Sora shuts off the final monitor and the fight ends.

Tron then walks for the computer and places his hand on the computer and something happens to Tron.

"I'm as good as new! All my functions have been restored!" Tron said.

"Oh, boy!" Donald cheered.

Just then an alarm is set off again.

"I'm getting REALLY tired of that alarm!" Ky yelled.

"Finally! I have full access to the DTD. My takeover of the system is now complete. I might have anticipated such a simple password. What's this? An emergency destruct program for the town. Let's see how it performs." The Master Control Program said.

"No!" Tron said as places his hand back on the computer and starts typing.

"Program! You've changed the password!" The Master Control Program said.

"There. That should buy us some time." Tron said.

"Tron! Tell us what's going on!" Sora said.

"The MCP's loading a hostile program into the I/O tower." Tron said.

"That's not good…" Noel said.

"What do we do?" Donald asked.

"We've got to protect the User town. Let's head for the tower!" Tron said.

"Lead the way!" Ky said.

(Tron has learned a new ability!)

Attacks:

Scouting Disk

Pulsing Thunder

Limit Attack: Setup

The group leave the dataspace and return for the canyon and make their way for a different lift and it takes them to a different area.

(Space Paranoids: I/O Tower: Hallway)

The group arrive at a hallway for the I/O tower and make their way through and go for the next area.

(Space Paranoids: I/O Tower: Communications Room)

The group arrive at the communications room and they see a giant black and red pillar in the center.

"It must be chaos outside." Tron said.

"I think there's gonna be trouble INSIDE too…" Donald said.

The group turn to see the other terminal and it indicates something in the system.

"That doesn't look good." Ky said.

"No it doesn't. We need to get back to the hallway." Tron said.

The group return to the hallway of the I/O tower and they are confronted by a giant program.

"I'm disappointed in you, Program. Why do you insist on allying with these selfish Users?" The Master Control Program asked.

"Because I want to help them. Something written into my code commands me to do what is right." Tron said.

"Really? And what command would that be?" The Master Control Program asked.

"I…can't really say for sure." Tron said.

"Friends. They help each other, that's all." Sora said.

"Even if you think you can handle a task alone, a friend or more will always be willing to help, no matter what." Ky said and everyone nods.

"Um, look out!" Noel said as the giant program unleashes beams that create walls surrounding the group.

(Boss Theme: The Corrupted)

"Let's take this program down! Tron?" Ky asked.

"Agreed!" Tron said.

The program known as the Hostile Program unleashes homing shots to go for the group but they dodge and Ky aerial slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by an upper slash and then delivers a wide slash while Noel casts Water and sends out a water beam to strike while Sora double vertical slashes with Kingdom Key followed by a leaping slash but the Hostile Program keeps unleashing shots at the group but Donald casts Fire while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado while Tron unleashes lightning to strike but the Hostile Program keeps attacking but Ky, Noel, and Sora slash with their Keyblades and after collecting enough clusters the three use them to freeze the Hostile Program.

"While it's stunned, it's our chance to take it down!" Ky said and everyone nods.

While Hostile Program is frozen Ky triple slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by casting Gravity while Noel diagonal slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by casting Earth while Sora aerial slashes with Kingdom Key followed delivering an aerial triple somersault slash while Donald casts Aero while Goofy bashes with his shield while Tron throws his disk all over and strikes and after enough attacks the Hostile Program takes excellent damage but is now unfrozen.

Hostile Program starts charging all over the area to get the group who dodge but Hostile Program then unleashes lasers to get the group but Tron throws his disk to strike while Goofy uses Shield Torpedo but Hostile Program keeps charging all over at the group who dodge and Donald casts Blizzard while Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by casting Thunder but Hostile Program unleashes more lasers to strike at the group but Ky casts Reflect to make the damage hit Hostile Program while Sora vertical slashes with Kingdom Key to strike but Hostile Program keeps charging all over but Ky, Noel, and Sora keep attacking with their Keyblades and unleash more of the clusters and after collecting enough clusters the three use the clusters and freeze Hostile Program again.

"Now's our chance! Tron!" Sora said.

"Let's put this down!" Ky said.

"We must work together!" Noel said.

"Right! Collecting data!" Tron said as he starts accessing.

Ky, Noel, Sora, and Tron start unleashing many clusters around them and they start attacking Hostile Program while they also attack with their weapons and they keep unleashing clusters all around them while still attacking with their weapons and later on many clusters are unleashed and then Tron, Ky, Noel, and Sora send the clusters at Hostile Program causing damage to it while going all over the place but still attacking.

While Hostile Program is still frozen Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a somersault slash while Noel triple slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by a graceful twirl slash while Sora casts Gravity while Donald casts Thunder while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado and after enough attacks Hostile Program takes excellent damage but is now unfrozen again and unleashes more lasers.

The group dodge the lasers and Tron scouts his disk all around Hostile Program and strikes while Goofy uses Goofy Bash but Hostile Program charges all over the area to get the group but Donald casts Earth while Noel horizontal slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by casting Fire while Sora diagonal slashes with Kingdom Key followed by a side slash while Ky triple slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a roundhouse slash but Hostile Program keeps charging while firing lasers at the group who dodge and Ky, Noel, and Sora attack with their Keyblades and unleash more clusters and then use them to freeze Hostile Program and Tron unleashes lightning attacks while Goofy bashes with his shield while Donald casts Water while Sora horizontal slashes with Kingdom Key while Noel diagonal slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by casting Blizzard while Ky aerial slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a crescent slash and the group finish off Hostile Program and it falls to the ground and then explodes and is destroyed.

The group return to the communications room where the pillar is now white and Tron is working on the terminal.

"I really owe you one. With all my functions up and running, I think I've got a chance of getting system control away from the MCP. Now, I'd better get to work. It's what my User would want." Tron said.

"What…Ansem would want…" Sora said.

"I think it would be best if he knows the truth." Ky said and Noel nods.

"Yeah. Listen, Tron. We didn't get the password from Ansem. We just sorta found it, back in the User world. By accident. And one more thing, Ansem…he was our enemy. I mean…he still is…I guess." Sora said.

"Well, actually…he's my enemy too." Tron said shocking the group.

"What're you talking about, Tron?" Ky asked.

"Ansem took ENCOM's original system and customized it for his use. I was part of the original system, and Ansem modified me too. So, that makes him my User. But Ansem is also the one, who brought back the MCP. The Ansem I first knew wouldn't do that. I'm sorry for not telling you." Tron explained.

"That's okay, but…now I REALLY don't get it." Sora said.

"My brain just keeps hurting and hurting by the minute of this." Ky said.

"Well, I don't understand it either. I think Users, like you, are going to be the ones, who will finally figure it out. You have the ability to take illogical routes, and still arrive at the answers you seek." Tron said.

"I suppose that makes sense to us…" Noel said.

"Now go…before the MCP starts acting up again." Tron said.

The group approach for the terminal and access it.

"Before you go, any data need from the DTD can be access directly through my User's terminal. I'll keep a dedicated access channel open for you. I changed the password, so you won't have to worry about the MCP for a while." Tron said.

"Access channel?" Sora asked.

"What is that?" Ky asked.

"I knew you'd ask. It's a very important link between our worlds. It's how we stay connected." Tron said as Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, and Goofy start glowing. "You…my friends…are the new password." Tron said.

"Thanks, Tron!" Sora said.

"Take care!" Ky said.

"You too, and give my best to the Users!" Tron said.

"We will." Noel said.

Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, and Goofy are transported out of Space Paranoids and are gone.
