The group return to the main castle but will they some answers or only more questions?

DM77's Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories Chapter 3
Psycho VIII: The Order's Assassin
We come to the group exiting out of a door into a familiar white walled room they were back in the main castle again it seemed
"Hang on, weren't we just here?" Hiro asked confused looking around
"No, it's similar but some difference including the staircase leading to another floor" Doom observed
"Yeah, but what does that mean?" Lilac asked
"If I have to guess, these areas might act as sort of rest areas between the memory worlds." Togami said "Given how us who are cards are freely able to move"
"That is good to hear" Emerl said nodding
"My, how observant." A familiar voice said and the group look to see Psycho Sith or Marr as they now know him by, his hood still up on his cloak
"Master!" J said and bows, the others get int battle stances
"Well, Emerl? Did you enjoy meeting your memories?" Marr asked the Gizoid
"Yeah, it was good to see everyone." Emerl admits nodding "But I think it's time you tell me what you really want from me Marr?"
"What do you have to give?" Marr asked seemingly not surprised they knew his name.
Marr begins to step forward and the group minus J get there weapons out, just then a portal of Darkness opens and another figure in a similar cloak appears but his hood was down.
He was a yellow mettalic being, Emerl deduces he is similar to that of Tahu and Takunuva in terms of design more more menacing, he was blue and yellow armored with claw hands, his mask was shaped like a Power ranger mask but evil looking (Psycho Ranger look) with red lenses, it then changes shape to become wider as if to reveal his true look. On his back were two extra arms with crab claws at the end
He gives a grin and said "Hello!"
"Oh great…him" J said face palming as she knew him it seems as well
"Don't be so disappointed their Drone" The newcomer said
"What do you want Claw?" Marr asked revealing his name or one of his names
"Oh nothing, I just feel like you are hogging the hero is all" Claw said with a grin "I think it is only fair I get my turn."
Marr thinks for a moment then pulls out a card and tosses it to Claw who catches it.
"Then perhaps you like to test him and J then" Marr said looking at him and vanishing in a corridor of darkness
"Maybe I would" Claw said smirking and looks to the group "My show now Keyblade warrior and co."
"J, who is this guy?" Lilac asked
"This is Psycho Claw, member VIII of the Organization, his title is The Order's Assassin." J said
"That's true but since you know Sith's name best give mine. The name is Brutaka." Claw told them "Be sure to remember that."
"Um…okay…" Emerl said nodding
"Good, seems those Gizoid circuits make you a quick learner" Brutaka said smiling "So Emerl, now that we're getting to know each other better…" his Psycho mask reforms, and he motions one hand and electricity appears and forms a twin-bladed sword known as Rotating Blades. "Don't you go off and die on me now and lets see how well you're doing J?"
-Arena Authorization: Psycho Claw, Number VIII-
The group gasp and get ready to fight with J also getting ready but then Brutaka throws something in the air and in a blright flash they were warped into what looks like an arena with only him, Emerl and J in it, the others having returned to cards
"Woah! What the…?!" Emerl said confused
"Like it, me and my fellow Psycho organization members had these prepared for battles outside of memory world" Brutaka said "Fighting in the actual castle seems impossible from prior tests."
"I see, either way this won't help you" Emerl said nodding
"I'm with you Emerl" J said hands forming into claws and her wings emerge
"Are you sure? He technically works for your master" Emerl said
"I heard, he is to test me so I will do what I need to" J said firmly
"Alright then" Emerl said "Let's…WHOA!"
He said that as Brutaka came in fast and and he was just able to block the attack with a higher card and the three fight. J doing her best to back up Emerl.
Brutaka seem to have control of lighting as he charges some into the Rotating Blades before throwing it, the two robots if hit were stunned for a bit allowing him to come in and knock them away,
However the two were able to handle him and counter his attacks when they got his pattern down. In a last ditch effort Brutaka goes to the centre of the arena and charges with electricity and sends an AOE lighting attack which knocks the two into the invisible wall
"D-Damn it…" J groans struggling to stand
"Guess you both ain't all that" Bruraka said and goes to attack
"No you don't!" Emerl said
He then summons All-Might's power and he Knocks Brutaka away but Brutaka counters with a higher card
"That all you got!" Brutaka said laughing
Emerl groans and looks at what he had, all he had left were Doom and Togami cards sure they can help but wasn't enough
"Emerl…" J said recovering, she showed him she had Lilac and Hiro's cards
"Let's do it" Emerl said nodding and stands "Time to end this!"
The two play the four cards and all their friends were summoned, Brutaka was shocked but failed to react as all charge in and strike at him and knock him back and he cries out as darkness spills from him and the arena begins to collapse
"Geez…give me a break" Brutaka said as he fades away
Emerl smiles and said "Phew…"
"Emerl look" J said
He looks and sees a blue card appear, despite it not being present it was for Fire spells he wasn't going to complain nice to have access to fire magic again
-End of Battle-
Once everyone returned to the main room the group were recovering but notice floating another blue card but it was similar to the Traverse Town card and Emerl takes it
"Another card it seems" Doom said
"What does it do?" Hiro asked concerned their were so many cards in this place it was hard to keep track of them all
RiCO appears and said "Hmmm, given it is like the one you used to make Traverse Town maybe it is like that."
"Well, I guess we will need it to keep going…" Emerl said
"Sounds like a plan" J said in agreement
"Well you bang on the money" A familiar voice said and the group gasp and see leading on the wall by the stairs was Brutaka, his mask now the non-Psycho one and smiling
"Brutaka!" Togami said in shock
"Wait…didn't we beat you, why are you not…well gone and poofed like most darkness forces we fight?" Lilac said confused
Brutaka chuckles and approaches them and said "Did you really think after that introduction, I would give up that easily?"
"I was hoping so but even I know that fight was way too easy." J said sighing
"You were testing us?" Emerl guessed
"And you and J passed with flying colors." Brutaka told them Congratulations Emerl and J! "J, Marr will be pleased with your progress. As for you Emerl, you're ready now to take on Castle Oblivion."
"Well, that is nice to hear but what do we need to do?" Doom asked
"It is simple." Brutaka said nodding "You will need to follow your memories, Emerl. Trust what you remember and seek what you forget. Then you will find someone very special."
"Hang on, do you mean Makoto Naegi and Metal Sonic?" Hiro asked
Brutaka chuckles and said, "You will just have to give some more thought to who it is that's—most important to you."
"Don't look at me, this is all news to me" J said
"Kind of figured they would have you follow us and not have any info you shouldn't have at the time" Togami said
"Indeed, this is a journey for Emerl after all, J is just along for the ride as a test for her." Brutaka said and looks to Emerl "Our most precious memories lie so deep within our hearts that they're out of reach. But I'm positive you'll find yours, Emerl."
"Why me though?" Emerl asked
"You have lost sight of the light within the darkness." Brutaka told him "And it seems that you've forgotten that you forgot."
"The light within the darkness…" Emerl said thinking
"It sounds…odd" Lilac said concerned "But it feels like he is telling the truth
Brutaka smiles and offers his hand "Would you like me to give you a hint?"
"I would think on this carefully" J said
"But this is your choice Emerl, do you actually need it?" Doom asked
Emerl looks serious at Brutaka and said "I'm gonna figure it out for myself. If you're in my way…"
Togami steps in front to defend Emerl and said "Don't worry about it Emerl, we'll all keep you safe."
"Good answer!" Brutaka said smiling "Just what I suspect from a future Keyblade master."
"So that was another test" J asked
"In a way it was." Brutaka said nodding "However, be forewarned…When your sleeping memories awaken, you may not be who you are now." With that said he vanishes into a Corridor of Darkness.
"Well, glad he's gone" J said frmily
"You don't like him very much do you?" Hiro asked
"He isn't as bothersome as others, but he likes getting under my metallic skin" J said
"Others, there are more?" Lilac asked
"Yes, I don't know how many but I know of a few." J said nodding "All part of the same organization, their purpose I don't know what it is here."
"Well, if they get in our way, we'll handle them" Emerl said smiling
"Agreed" Togami said nodding "For now let's see what is beyond those stairs"
The others agree and keep on moving heading to the stairs. Unaware to any of them that they are slowly falling into Marr's trap.
Well that was instersting, the group met Brutaka aka Psycho Claw of the mystious Psycho organization.
Also this is how I do the story if there is a major boss fight in the areas between worlds it gets it's own chapter else we got to the next world story.
