Another Kingdom Hearts fic take that I've been wanting to do. I'm able to boost myself up again to try to make this happen. Thus, this is the revival of the Kingdom Hearts story starring both Sora and Shiro. The only difference is...Sora is a cartoon just like his chaotic twin sister.

This story tells the tale of two little cartoons, a bouncy little mouse, and a cheeky little rabbit, finding themselves in a world of...normality. Taken in by Riku, and a wonderous shopkeeper, these two are made a stain upon this world as...the chaotic duo.

But with the destruction of Destiny Islands, Sora has claimed the Kingdom Key as his own...but instead of appearing in the Dark Realm, its counterpart, the Kingdom Key - D fell into the hands...or gloves of another one, chosen in darkness, Shiro. And now it falls to the Keys of Light, Darkness, and the Between to seal the Final Door before more worlds fall into chaos.

Another Mass crossover fix, the same as A New Destiny, starring Toon Sora and Shiro.

Entering the moonlit and emptied streets, we soon continue our story with Chosen wielder of the Keyblade, Sora, and his newfound zany companions, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot Warner in the Second District.

On one side, stands a motel extending to the farther reaches of the block to a white house standing on the other side of the district. The other side holds an empty clothing shop, as the winds blow across the hollow curtains on the windowsill.

"So, what's our destination, Captain?" Wakko asks as the Warners STILL cling onto the spiky-haired toon. Sora only gives a deep sigh...and quietly tells the three in a dangerous tone...

"Well for starters you can, GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!" Sora exclaims as he pushes the Warners off him and gives a deep sigh. Soon, his thoughts were put to a halt when a man suddenly tumbled down in front of the toons.

"Sir, are you alright?!" Sora yelled shocked and concerned.

"H-Heartless..." The man wheezed, when suddenly his body faded into darkness...and his heart floats from his chest. In place of the man, a new figure snatched the heart. One of these...Heartless.

This one seems to have the same glowing yellow eyes as its shadowy brethren, but this one appears to adorn a shimmering silver helmet, and a dark blue bodysuit with pointed shoes, and blood-red claws.

Before they knew it...the creature disappeared into the darkness. Everyone simply looked upon the Second District in silence, unable to figure out what transpired.

"I'm sure he's fiiiiiiine," Aaaand Wakko broke that silence.

"Huh…" Sora says, curiously.

"What is it?" Dot asks.

"Somethin' about those beady gold eyes that thing had. Kinda reminded me of-" Sora started, but…

"Uh oh!" Wakko says as the quartet had some unexpected company. The four were all surrounded by creatures all too familiar to Sora.

"I knew it! Those fellas are the same monsters that chewed up my island!" Sora exclaimed taking out the Keyblade, to the Warners' surprise.

"Well, well, well, looks like you really ARE our friend!" Yakko mused as Sora fended off the creatures. As Sora turned to Yakko, confused by what he means, another Shadow took advantage to leap in the air to scratch the boy from behind.

"Look alive, Sora!" Dot says as she took out her quiver and shot down the Heartless with one of her daggers.

"Good save!" Sora says happily as they all regrouped.

"No problem!" Dot says happily. Silence once again emanates through the streets as Sora could only look at Yakko confusedly.

"So, uh… Yakko. Much as I enjoy the ever-growing increase in friendship…what did ya mean when you said I…REALLLY am your friend?" Sora asks.

"Oh, well that's easy! We're on a secret mission to find the 'Key!' Wakko said.

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh not really a secret anymore now, is it?" Yakko retorted. "We were sent on an important mission to find 'key' to our survival after BOTH Kings of Toontown up and vamoosed. Since you're the lucky lad with the only key I'm thinking of, you my friend fit the bill." Yakko explained.

"I'm the 'key?'" Sora repeated.

"Yep! Now all we gotta do is find our friends and we can high-tail it outta here to find the Kings!" Dot said as she continued walking, but as stopped by the spiky-haired mouse.

"N-now hold on there, fellas! I never signed to findin' some sorta King. I'm on my OWN mission to find my sis & my friends." Sora protests.

"Stubborn as a mule, aren't you? And trust me, I've dated a lot of mules in my life, and they were sure stubborn," Yakko said sarcastically.

"Well, If it would make ya feel better, Sora, we can find your friends first." Wakko suggested.

"Really?" Sora asked in hope.

"We already agreed to it, didn't we? You scratch our backs, and we scratch yours" Yakko said holding as on cue, Dot walked to the trio dressed as one of those ballpark vendors. On stock are golden back scratchers.

"BACK SCRATCHAS! GET YOUR BACK SCRATCHAS HERE!" Dot announced as she passed the back scratchers to Wakko and Yakko.

"Back Scratcha?" Dot asks as she approached Sora.

"I'm good, Dot." Sora says, dismissively.

"Hey, I'm trying to make a living here!" Dot pouts, but the mouse simply ignores her. Soon, he looked to the motel just in front of them.

"Maybe someone in here could help us? While we're at it, wouldn't hurt to keep an EYE out on any royalty." Sora quips as he literally and easily took an eye out as the quartet of toons got going.

SLAM!

Unbeknownst to them, the First District door was slammed open by another quartet of toons.

"UNBELIEVABLE!" Donald exclaims as he, Goofy, Daffy, and Porky entered the 2nd District. "THE WARNERS ARE LIKE THE LOUDEST AND CRAZIEST TOONS IN TOONTOWN! HOW THE HELL COULD YA LOSE 'EM!?"

"Bold of you to assume that those three are OUR responsibility. They're not housebroken." Daffy retorts.

"Uh…w-w-we-well, one of them is…" Porky adds as Donald only sighs.

"Great…not only do we gotta find Mickey, Bugs, AND Leon…but we gotta keep an eye out on those royal mutts AND those stupid Warners." Donald sighs.

"Aw, doncha worry, Donald! I'm sure we'll find 'em." Goofy assures.

"Yeah! All we gotta do is find the spot with the most people running in fear…or the spot with the most people going mad." Daffy adds making Donald roll his eyes.

"Whatever…" Donald sighs…knowing that this is going to be a LOOOOONG journey.


Motel

Once inside, Sora and the Warners found themselves in a long corridor with doors of different colors and numbers.

The first thing they see is a help desk. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like anyone's occupying it. As the quartet approached the help desk, Wakko was the first to ring the bell.

DING!

No response.

"Maybe they're on lunch." Wakko simply asks.

"If that's the case, then we can just come back later." Dot says as the group was about to leave the motel. Until…

"WELL, HEL-LOOOOOOOOO THERE, MY FRIENDS!" A voice boomed out from behind the counter, catching the toons off guard. They soon turned to the counter, seeing a tall and slender fox smiling at the two.

The fox was adorned in green tattered clothing with a blue cape waving to the wind. Atop his head was a tattered green top hat.

"And welcome, welcome, WELCOME, to the Traverse Town Motel, where you won't find ANY comfortable place to stay during your visit to this, LOVELY town. The name's Honest John, proprietor of this motel," The fox known as Honest John soon pulls up from the counter, another being.

A tan-furred cat wearing tattered clothing the same as him. Only his long sleeves and pants were purple, and he had a yellow cape blowing to the wind. Atop HIS head was a tinier blue top hat.

"And this is my faithful assistant, Gideon. The pleasure is all mine, my friends. How may we serve you tonight?" Honesty John says with such sincerity as the quartet only looked at the cat & fox in confusion.

"Well…y'see…" Sora starts but was interrupted by the fox.

"Might I interest a room, for the lovely lady and the strapping young boys? We've got all KINDS of rooms! Big rooms, small rooms, high rooms, low rooms-" Honest John recommended.

"Uh, actually-" Yakko started but...

"Or perhaps, some room service, ON THE HOUSE!" Honest John says as he took from behind the counter platters upon platters of food. Dot and Yakko were not amused.

"Are we in a motel? Or a car dealership in Florida." Yakko quips to the audience.

Wakko and Sora, however, looks in awe at the sudden display of food. So much in awe to the point of their mouths drooling waterfalls.

In annoyance, Dot grabbed both Wakko and Sora's tongues, and flung them back into their mouths like curtain rolls.

"That's very tempting boys, and we're all thankful for all of this, but-" Dot tries to say, but the persistent fox continued.

"I'm glad your thankful, WE AIM TO PLEASE! But..." Honest John says taking out a scroll of paper from the counter in front of the toons.

"W-what is this?" Dot asks.

"A bill. That'll be approximately...10,475,25 Munny. Take notes, my friend. Now...do you except cash or credit?" Honest John says as Gideon soon frantically took out a notebook, as he began scribbling down...well scribbling down.

The Warners simply looked at each other with such displeased looks on their faces.

"Scamers." The three of them say in unison. Sora, however, only kept a rather…eerie smile as the mouse soon speaks up.

"Gentlemen! Lady! Come now~" Sora says in such an eerily sweet voice as he motions to Honest John & Gideon.

"Why, these kind gentlemen went out of their way to make such WONDEROUS offers of a lifetime! And who are we to refuse…and ESPECIALLY part ways with them without any sort of compensation for ALL their hard work? Isn't that right?" Sora asks the fox, sweetly.

"Uhh..y-YES! Yes, that's quite right, little one! After all, we aim to please!" Honest John says happily as Gideon shook his head, frantically. Soon, Sora hops atop the counter. The Warners smirked…clearly knowing what's gonna happen.

"Of course! And we're EVER so grateful~!" Sora says, sweetly. This feigning innocence was enough to convince the shyster.

"SPLENDID! Now then. About that 10,475,25 Munny…" Honest John says as he presents to Gideon a jar full of Munny. Soon…the mouse placed his gloved hands behind his back.

"I…think I'd like to pay it in full! All you have to do is pick a hand!" Sora says, happily making the Warners snicker. The shysters looked in confusion. Just…what is going on?

"Uhhhh…" Honest John drones on as he tries to choose a hand while Sora was simply looking back at the with a wide grin. Soon, Gideon picked for him and points to the right hand. "That one!"

"Are ya suuuuuuure?" Sora asks, playfully. Nervously, Honest John looks to Gideon, to which he happily nods his head.

"YEP! THAT HAND! FINAL ANSWER!" Honest John says, determinedly.

"Okey-dokey!" Sora says happily. Before Honest John could even react…

SLAM! SLAM!

He was quick to give both Honest John & Gideon a slam on the head with a mallet. Their heads crinkled up and down like accordions as bumps arose from their heads. This…also gives the Warners the incentive to hold NOTHING back.

"Aw c'mon, Sora, seems kinda rude don't ya think~?" Dot muses.

"Yeah! Ya gotta admit the customer service is respectable, doncha think? And when ya got good service…ya can't forget to leave a tip~" Yakko asks as both he & Dot looked to their brother.

"Wakko~?" They say in unison.

"A lil' thanks for the road!" Wakko says as he soon thrusts his book further. Intensely did its pages flicker as magic gathered around the spellbook. Sora tilts his head in confusion on just what the Warner's gonna do.

Before the mouse could even react could even react…

CLANK!

A GIANT anvil suddenly appeared out of thin air and slammed down atop the two shysters. Flattening them down from accordions to pancakes.

"Thank you for your patronage…" Honest John groans from under the anvil. If they weren't knocked out before, they were certainly KO'd, now. Both of them.

"Glad to see we're on the same page, sibs." Yakko says happily.

"That's what I'm talkin' about!" Dot cheered.

"Yeah!" Wakko says happily.

"Ahhhh, the smell of anvils & cartoon mallets in the nighttime. If Shiro was here, she'd love you fellas." Sora says as he then looks to Wakko with a question in mind.

"Say, Wakko…what WAS that ya did? With all the sparkly Magic & the giant anvil?" Sora asks the middle Warner.

"Oh this?" Wakko asks as his staff glows. "All I did was conjure up an Anvil. I'm a Conjurer, therefore I can summon anythin' that comes to mind!" Wakko explains.

"Anything?" Sora asks.

"'Course!" Wakko asks as his staff glows again….and a sandwich appears in his hand. His siblings only rolled his eyes as Wakko eats his sandwich.

"He's still learning." Yakko replies.

"Yeah, still learning." Dot says in agreement.

"Y'think maybe someday, I'll learn a bit of Magic like that?" Sora couldn't help but ask.

"Sure! Magic's a common thing throughout ALLL the worlds!" Dot says happily.

"A big ol' abundance." Wakko says in agreement.

"You'll have your chance, Sora, doncha worry. NOW, let's get outta here, before they wake up. The darndest thing with Wakko's Magic is that there's a time limit. So, that anvil's gonna disappear soon." Yakko explains.

"Noted. Let's amscray!" Sora says as he and the Warners darted out of the hotel.


Third District

Meanwhile, we cut to another district. The Third District of Traverse Town. It was but a small square where the only lights, were the streetlights, and the light of a fountain just yonder. A golden fountain in the far corner of the map...in the shape of two dogs.

On the right are two double doors leading to the First District. On the left…a mysterious door with a fire symbol.

Other than that, it seems as dead as the Second District. Not a single soul in sight…save for two figures. Our animalistic Tasmanian Devil…making a soup with a familiar sleeping rabbit in the cauldron.

As the Tasmanian Devil chopped carrots and placed it in the soup, our cream-furred rabbit soon groggily opened her eyes…looking upon new territory.

"Ugh…god what a night…" Shiro groans as she soon tiredly looked to the Tasmanian Devil making a soup outta her. "Hey, there…do ya by any chance know where I am?"

"You in Traverse Town." Taz says as the toons were completely oblivious to what's going on between them.

"Traverse Town, huh…? Oh." Shiro says as she gives a yawn. "Say, whatcha doing?"

"Me make Rabbit Stew!" Taz replies.

"Ya can't have Rabbit Stew without a rabbit, though. Got a substitute, somewhere around here?" Shiro asks obliviously.

"Oh, me gonna eat YOU." Taz simply replies.

"Oh, me…*yawn* Oh. Well, uh…." Shiro says drowsily before lulling back into dreamland…to which her eyes IMMEDIATELY snapped open, FINALLY realizing what's going on.

"ME!?" Shiro exclaims. But before she could escape the soup…

CLANG!

Taz slammed the lid shut, lit a match, and set the firewood ablaze. Already, the Tasmanian Devil could smell such a tasty, tasty rabbit cooked into Rabbit Stew.

Or so he thought…as unbeknownst to him, Shiro was simply standing behind him, leaning behind the wall.

"Rabbit Stew, eh? Ya gotta admit, smells SOOOO good! Hope ya don't mind if I try a bite when it's done?" Shiro requests as Taz simply snacked his watery lips.

"Sure, sure, rabbit! Heheheh!" Taz says as he giggles obliviously like the animal he is. Soon enough…he realized it. He turned around to see his rabbit not in his Rabbit Stew. This made him angry…as he only growls at the rabbit who only looked at him, smugly.

"Offer still stands?" Shiro simply asks.

"BLAAAAAAGHBLALALALALAA!" This immediately set Taz off. As he was roaring and babbling…

"Hold that thought, Mac! Just a lil' somethin' EXPLOSIVE for ya!" Shiro says happily as she grabbed Taz's wide-opened mouth. Quickly she took from her Gag Bag a stick of dynamite…and simply dropped it into Taz's mouth.

Soon she lets go of his mouth, and on cue…

BOOOOOOOM!

He was sent flying high into the night sky. The rabbit simply looked to the audience as she walked to the center of the Third District square.

"SO!" Shiro starts. "Judgin' by the new atmosphere, I can safely assume that I'm in another world, and all that mumbo-jumbo Riku's been spoutin' was true after all. I mean…I'm a prime example of his point, so of course it'd come true. WITH THAT SAID, C'MON, folks! You really think I'm gonna spend the first few minutes in new territory in the gullet of a…" The rabbit rants before she took notice of Taz finally coming down…and onto the steaming hot cauldron.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOUCH!" Taz screams as he was once again sent flying high in the sky…to the point of being completely gone from Shiro's line of sight.

"Well, whatever the hell that is." Shiro says as she took from her Gag Bag a bucket of water, to put out the fire.

"So…Traverse Town. That's what the mutt says. The question is, if I'm here, does that mean Sora, Riku, and Kairi are…here…too?" Shiro says as she stopped to look at a peculiar sight to behold.

At the end of a block is a door. A crimson door with magical runes surrounding a crimson flame symbol. The group approaches the door.

"Now that's a door, huh?" Shiro says to herself, looking to the fire symbol. "Now, I ain't no expert in runes, but…I'm pretty sure I need somethin' fiery to open this door." Shiro says…as her face contorts to a malicious grin.

"Hehehehehe, ohhhh, I've got PLENTY of firepower!" Shiro says as she took from her Gag Bag an oversized silver tray with a lid atop it.

The maddened rabbit opened up the lid, revealing a silver platter filled with explosions of all kind, and a detonator to serve as the cherry on top.

"This place looks dead anyway so, you REALLY think anyone'll even hear a big KABOOM?" Shiro assures as she set all the explosives in front of the door. She grabbed the detonator and quickly zipped away from the door. FAR away.

"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" Shiro screams…as she pushes down the plunger of the detonator.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The ENTIRE Third District rumbled as an explosion was heard throughout the entire plaza. The explosion was impactful enough to send the mad rabbit tumbling to the ground.

With a sharp-toothed grin, Shiro looked to see the results of her handiwork. Her face fell…seeing that the explosion didn't even cover the door in soot…let alone singe it.

She approaches the COMPLETELY unphased door.

"Tough guy, huh? If explosions won't open you up, then what will?" Shiro says. Her question was immediately answered…when something appeared in her gloved hands. In a bushel of black & purple flames was her newfound weapon…The Keyblade.

The rabbit KNEW she didn't summon the Keyblade…so what gives?

"There ain't no lock on this door, y'know that, right?" Shiro asks her Keyblade. Of course, it didn't respond. Yet…it's clear the rabbit didn't want to give up, because it's the Keyblade appeared in her gloves for a reason.

Then…she remembers her dream.

"You felt the Magic brimming within the staff before, yes?" Igor asks, mischievously as Shiro nods. "Now, I feel it is time you learn to unleash it."

"So, what am I startin' with?" Shiro asks as the Shadows crept forward.

"Start with the basic of elements, Fire." Elizabeth replies. "Concentrate. Let all emotions form into passion. Picture a small flame, and call the mana within you to make that flame form into a billowing flame."

"Hmm…but in my dream, I had some dusty ol' staff. Do ya think that…maybe it'll work the same?" Shiro asks her Keyblade. It didn't answer; rather it immediately reacted on its own but pointing to the door.

"Well…Doesn't hurt to try, right? Just wanna see what's in there." Shiro says in curiosity. And then...she closed her eyes. She cleared her thoughts on both her target and something else.

She imagines the flames consuming her and burning the targets around her. for you see, Fire is not only a beacon of hope and passion but the fuel for hatred and aggression.

At first, nothing was happening...until a glow soon came from the rabbit's chest. A glowing red heart took form, and yet...she's too focused to realize it.

Her eyes snapped open, aflame in crimson, and a magic circle was formed in front of her. She then casts her spell, oblivious to the world around her.

"FIRE!" Shiro yells out as a single ball of fire projected from the Magic Circle and onto the door. The rune carvings glowed along with the flame symbol, and with that...the door slowly sank to the ground, revealing a dark path opened.

All while Shiro's fell to her knees with the glow fading into her chest again.

Soon enough the rabbit opened her eyes…and looked agape at her handiwork. She remains completely oblivious of what she's done…but all she could do is look at the Keyblade agape.

"Y'know…I'm startin' to see why Sora was all wide-eyed about ya. You really are somethin' huh?" Shiro says to her Keyblade…as there was nothing left but to journey inside.


The Gizmo Shop

Soon, entering through the Second District once more, Sora, Wakko, Yakko, and Dot soon found themselves, in a pink galleria of gears and cogs the likes of which Sora has never seen….to bad his vision was starting to come back after the incident in the Motel.

"Whoa...this place looks awesome..." Sora says with stars shimmering on his eyes. Amidst the gallery of gears, appear to be mechanical creations as Dot looked at the machinery in…familiarity.

"Steam-powered machines, gizmos & gadgets, blueprints for Animatronic prototypes, y'know…these all look like they'd come from Toontown." Dot inquires.

"You fellas get around in Toontown, huh?" Sora couldn't help but ask.

"Yep. We've got the Restraining Orders to prove it." Yakko says as he took from his Hammerspace 3 Restraining Orders signed by…a literal list of names.

"Hi there!" Two young boys approached Sora and the Warners.

One boy with red hair and a triangular-shaped head adorned in a striped shirt, blue shorts, and blue shoes. The other boy was albeit taller. He had green hair and a more…rectangular head and a square nose. This boy was wearing a white shirt with purple longjohns and black and white shoes.

….

"How does he even put his shirt on with a nose like that?" Sora couldn't help but whisper as the child continues.

"If you guys are looking for Doctor G; he went out to get some tools. But if you'd like, we can help ya!" The orange-haired boy offers.

"Okey-dokey! We're just browsing." Sora inquires.

"Wait a sec…Doctor G. as in…Doctor Gearloose?" Wakko asks.

"That's the one!" The young boy confirms.

"Doctor Gearloose?" Sora asks.

"Only the greatest inventor in ALL of Toontown!" Yakko explains.

"Would you REALLY call him the greatest inventor if he has a history of starting robotic invasions with 'em?" Dot couldn't help but ask making her older brother sweat bullets.

"I MEAN, YEAH…BUT STILL!" Yakko protests as the orange-haired boy chuckles.

"Well, we volunteered to help him out on his inventions. Be it recalibration, or testing, Ferb and I are here to give him a hand!" The orange-haired boy explains.

"Ferb?" Wakko asks as the boy motions to his green-haired brother…or rather stepbrother.

"Ferb Fletcher. He's my bro. And I'm Phineas Flynn. Together, we're the Gizmo Shop Supervisors, and town Chief of Security." Phineas introduces.

"You two?" Yakko asks.

"Yep!" Phineas replies.

"Aren't you two a lil' young to be supervisin' Dr. Gearloose's inventions while maintainin' security across the entire town?" Sora asks.

"Yes! Yes, we are!" Phineas replies.

"WAKKO! YAKKO! DOT!" A voice says happily gaining the two's attention. Flying towards the toons came a sort of red and yellow disk with 3 circles atop his head. Almost like Sora.

"What is that and why does he look like me?" Sora couldn't help but ask, until the Warners soon look at it in realization.

"TOODLES!" The Warners say in surprise as the disk circled around the Warners with laughter. Sora could only look at the disk in confusion.

"Toodles?" Sora asks.

"A friend of a friend!" Wakko says happily.

"A LITERAL Swiss-Army Knife made by another inventor in town, Professor Von Drake. The ol' disk can practically do just about anything!" Dot explains.

"How've ya been, buddy?" Wakko asks as the disk soon shows its face to the toons. A kind little face with blue eyes and red, rosy cheeks.

"A-OKAY! Doctor Gearloose is a lil' more…grouchy than Professor Von Drake, but he's still the best!" Toodles says happily.

"Well, that's not new." Dot mumbled.

"I've gotta admit, your technology is so…surreal! Ferb and I never really dealt with machinery like THIS before in Danville, so you guys could just IMAGINE our surprise when Doctor Gearloose allowed us to make a few adjustments to Toodles' design." Phineas explains.

"What kinda adjustments?" Sora asks, excitedly. Before the conversation could continue, the backdoor of the Gizmo Shop opened up…and a figure enters.

Approaching the Toons, the brothers, and Toodles comes a tall and slender chicken wearing square glasses and a yellow cap under his tuft of hair.

Attire wise, the chicken appears to be wearing a bright pink shirt with a grey vest, bright blue jeans, and brown boots. On his shoulder appears to be some sort of tiny robot with a light bulb for a head. The chicken only continues to look through his notes.

"Enter the Mad Scientist, himself." Yakko announces.

"That's Doctor Gearloose?" Sora asks.

"Yup!" Wakko & Dot replies.

"APPRENTICES! The streets are teemed with even more of those dreadful protozoan animosities. Bring to me the T-Unit so that I may set its defense levels to-"

"DOCTOR GEARLOOSE!" The Warners cheered taking the chicken by surprise. The chicken tilted his head in confusion.

"I've received no notice from King Bugs that his strange….children would be joining me. Apprentices?" Gyro asks looking to both Phineas & Ferb, who only shrugged.

"Sorry, Doctor G. We never got any notice either." Phineas replies.

"The way he said children almost seems as if he doesn't know what the hell one even is…" Sora mutters to himself.

"Aw, don't sweat it, Doc. We came with Donald and the others. But we kinda just got a bit…sidetracked." Yakko explains before Dot immediately latches onto Sora.

"THIS BOY IS LOOKING FOR HIS FRIENDS, DOC! WE NEED TO KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN THEM, STAT!" Dot exclaims.

"Y'know, I'm starting to think Webby's a real bad influence on you." Yakko quips.

"As if you two are any better?" Dot snaps back.

"Never said we were." Yakko retorts, cockily.

"Well, sorry to disappoint you, but I'm afraid no one came through the shop. Customers have been rather scarce of late, in light of those…repulsive creatures that I DEFINITELY didn't create via Shadow Ray, which is nearing its completion." Gyro explains.

"He's kind of….how can I put it…?" Sora whispers to his new friends.

"Nuts?" Yakko asks.

"Destructive?" Dot asks.

"Capable of creative evil robots?" Wakko asks. Now THIS was what made Gyro dramatically give out an audible gasp.

"How dare you, good sir! I'll have you know, NOT ONE of my creations have gone evil…recently. CASE IN POINT!" Gyro lies as he soon points to Toodles.

"Yaaaaay!" Toodles cheers as a small confetti cannon arose from one of Toodles' compartments atop his head. The mechanical creature blasts it, making confetti fly throughout the Gizmo Shop.

"Whoa…" Sora says in awe.

"I take it you all are well associated with Toodles?" The chicken asks.

"All I know is that you fellas all supposedly know each other." Sora simply says.

"Well, spiky-haired mouse boy or girl, Toodles is a supercomputer with many different arsenals installed within him, courtesy of my predecessor, Ludwig Von Drake. But with his permission, I decided to take him off his hands, since Traverse Town'll need him." Gyro explains.

"With Doctor G's help, we repurposed him into Traverse Town's Security System." Phineas concluded with Ferb giving the group a thumbs up.

"You see, Sora, Gyro is Toontown's head of research and development. He's an inventing genius!" Dot says introducing Sora to Gyro.

"Genius! Now THAT'S a strong word to use on him." Yakko quips.

"Genius is the FINEST adjective to describe me. For I have journeyed throughout the other worlds, and shown others a whole new possibility in creativity. My genius...as you can tell, is unmatched, unmarred. Mr. McDuck gave me the ambition to spread my genius across the Atlas." Gyro says in determination.

"Waay too ambitious, don't you think?" Yakko couldn't help but ask. Gyro only scoffs at that remark.

"Nothing is too ambitious for MY genius!" Gyro boasts.

"I mean he's nuts & all, but is he always this…arrogan-" Sora starts but was immediately interrupted as the Warners gave out a hearty…

"Yes."

"Y'know…I think he has a point! Nothing's too ambitious! Maybe we can add in even more gadgets into Toodles. There's no limit to what we can install! Whattaya say?" Phineas asks the small machine.

"Sounds like fun!" Toodles says happily.

"NOW, WAIT A MINUTE, APPRENTICE!" Gyro asserts, but it was too late.

"Ferb, I know what we're going to do today! Nice to meet ya, Sora!" Phineas says happily as he, Ferb, and Toodles took their leave without even a word listen to Gyro. The chicken scientist only sighs in annoyance.

"Every apprentice and intern I come across seems to have a thing with being TOO…intuitive." Gyro mumbles in annoyance.

"Uhh…" Sora tries to get the inventor's attention.

"Huh? Oh, you're still here." Gyro says, unenthusiastically. Soon, his little lightbulb pal acted up and pointed to the door on the other side of the gear-clad room.

"Well, if you want to find your…whatever, Lil' Bulb suggests surveying the Second District from atop the Belltower. Take the back door to get there." Gyro says pointing to the door.

"Hey, I'd take that over the help we got back at the motel." Wakko says, casually.

"Me, too. Thanks, Mr. Gearloose!" Sora says as he and the Warners took their leave. As they existed the Gizmo Shop, Gyro and Lil' Bulb looked at each other in confusion.

"Motel? I thought that placed was closed and Yuffie has the key." Gyro says in confusion. Lil' Bulb only shrugged.


The Bell Tower

Soon, after climbing up, and up the wooden ladder just outside of the Gizmo Shop, Sora and the Warners soon made their way to the Bell Tower. From there, they looked in awe...as they can see a clear view...of the entirety of The Second District.

"Welp…still no sign of Leon, Donald, and the gang." Yakko sighs.

"And still no sign of Shiro, Riku, Kairi, or your friends. But still, you've gotta admit, guys...this is a pretty nice view." Sora says as he soon flopped to the ground, as his bright-yellow sneakers dangled on the railway. Yakko & Dot joined the mouse while Wakko slumped to the ground.

"Ahhhh, the moon. Just so pretty I could write poetry…or bake a ham, whichever comes first." Dot quips as she looks to the moonlight.

"Honestly, I could use a break. Got any water or somethin' to drink in that staff of yours, sib?" Yakko asks.

"Here ya go!" Wakko says as he summons a bottle of water for his older borther who only squeezes the bottle to drink the water in one go.

Meanwhile, Dot and Sora can only look in amazement as the lay of the land...as he looked up at the twinkling star-covered night sky, with the great moon shining down on him.

"Y'know, fellas? I just…never thought I'd finally see the day. Meetin' Toons like me in a whole other world." Sora says looking in awe.

"Crazy, isn't it?" Dot couldn't help but say. "We've had a lotta adventures around Toontown, boys. But…actually looking at a COMPLETELY different universe. It's…it's just so surreal."

"A great big universe, ain't it?" Yakko quips. Immediately making Dot's smile drop.

"Don't start singing, bro." Dot says, bluntly. Soon, Sora turned to the Warners as a question arises.

"Say, fellas…what…IS Toontown like? Just wanna get Shiro & I prepared for…y'know, whenever we get there." Sora asks them.

"Oh, there's LOTS to do when you're living in Toontown!" Dot starts.

"Yeesh, where do we begin? With that place, just about ANYTHING could happen there. It's like a universal amusement park." Yakko explains.

"And ALL the food you could eat, and Anvils you could drop without consequences!" Wakko adds.

"Magic Kingdom, Acme Acres, Inkwell Isle, Toon Lagoon, Two-Tone Town, we could name just about all the attractions there, and it wouldn't even scratch the surface 'cause the world's just endlessly growing with more & more Toons!" Yakko emphasizes.

"You guys must have an excitin' life…" Sora says in awe.

"A crazy cast from all kinds of companies. BUT…we've got ourselves an endless possibility on the table, now that we've got an ENTIRE solar system worth of worlds to go through." Yakko says pointing to the shimmering stars in the sky.

"Think of how much we've been missing out!" Dot adds.

"Toontown just sounds…AMAZING. What we wouldn't give to see a place like that. Hell…maybe there's a chance that Shiro and I DID live there once." Sora explains as the Warners tilt their head in confusion.

"What, you don't remember if you came from Toontown or not?" Yakko asks as Sora lowered his head.

"In truth…Shiro and I were just dumped on the island. We've got no leads on where we came from or why we even ended up here. We were just…stuck, I guess. And as time went on, I'm startin' to see why he always wanted the island. Riku always sees it as a bland...boring...island. A prison." Sora explains.

"A prison? But…why would he think that?" Wakko asks.

"I dunno know why, but seein' all this? Seein' just how big the outside world is? Can't say I really blame him." Sora chuckles, as he soon lowered his head in sadness.

"What's the matter?" Wakko asks.

"This was supposed to be the biggest adventure of our lifetimes. I'm glad I was able to get outta there but…Tidus, Wakka, Selphie, Kairi, Riku…Shiro…it just doesn't feel the same without 'em. I REALLY hope they're ok…wherever the hell they ended up in." Sora says in defeat.

Soon, a gloved hand was soon placed behind the mouse's back. The spiky-haired toon soon turned Wakko. He was bearing a smile of understanding.

"We'll find them, Sora. I just know it." Wakko assured. Sora soon smiles back to him.

"Wakko, Yakko, Dot…thanks for bein' there for me when I had nobody else." Sora says to his new friends. All of them smiled at the spiky-haired toon. Soon, a question arises from Dot.

"Soooooo, whatabout you seem to speak so high & mighty about your sis, Shiro, earlier? What's she like?" Dot asks.

"Well, we're both very similar. Off the walls, crazy, but though she doesn't like hearin' it…she's the kindest person you could ever meet. And I'm really happy to have her as my sis." Sora answered.

"Awwwwww~" Dot coos. Soon, Wakko noticed something down below in the square.

"What's that?" pointing down to the streets of the Second District. A... peculiar creature with yellow fur was trotting through the streets. They couldn't make out what the creature was, it didn't look like any Heartless, that's for sure.

Sora and the Warners soon watched the creature head to the doorway of the bell-tower, a large blue door just below.

"What do you think it is?" Wakko asks.

"I dunno, but it looks like it headed towards the...house? Let's go down below and find it. It could be a Heartless." Sora says as the group rose from ground and rushed down the latter, thus continuing their adventure.


Mysterious Cavern

Entering the area, Shiro finds herself in a cave. With water below her, platforms just in front of her, leading up to land. Inhabiting that land is a single whimsical-looking cottage…with a strange ornament shaped like an owl, in the center of the door.

"Whoever lives here must really want to be away from everyone, huh? Can relate, never really a big fan of company." quipped Shiro as she hopped and flipped along the platforms until reaching the cottage.

"Makes me wonder if anyone even lives here." Shiro says as she admired the peculiar cottage before her.

"Hoot-hoot! I'd like to think someone lives here!" A high-pitched voice says happily, making Shiro look in surprise.

"Hoot! Hoot! HOOT! HOOT!" Before Shiro could even have a chance to react, the very ornament on the door stretched out to playfully peck the rabbit on the head.

"Ow! OW! Cut it out, will ya?! I'm not bird…feed?" Shiro says in annoyance…before it turns to awe at the stretchy owl creature before her.

"Sorry! It's just that I don't really like intruders!" The creature hoots. Shiro, however, wasn't afraid. Rather…she was intrigued.

"Huh. You look like a strange lil' thing, ain't ya?" Shiro says as the creature stretched back into the doorhole.

"I'd like to think myself rather handsome~" The owl says cockily before one question arises. "Wait, so…how'd ya get here? Only those worthy of solving my puzzle could enter the forbidden cave!"

"Oh, I just used this." Shiro says as she simply summoned her Keyblade. With a roar of black flames it appeared in her gloved hands.

"WHOOAHAHHHHH!" The owl says in surprise.

"Also, a lil' tip, you should PROOOOOOOOOBABLY think up a more…y'know advanced puzzle. Just a thought!" Shiro simply says.

"Wowieee….a Keyblade Wielder AND A Solver of Riddles? Maybe you're the one Eda's been waiting for!" The owl says happily.

"Eda?" Shiro asks.

"INTO HOOTY'S MOUTH YOU GO! BLAHAAAAHHHH!" The owl named Hooty says as he…literally opens his mouth, revealing a path into the cottage.

"Huh…y'know, given that I'm a Toon, you'd think I'd be phased with all sortsa crazy stuff. Turns out I was wrong." Shiro simply shrugs as she enters to cottage.


?

Entering the household Shiro looked at her surroundings and found herself in...

"A dead end." Shiro simply said. Sure enough, the house was vacant…empty…and dark. Perhaps what she found was indeed a dead end.

"Great, great. Glad to see that I went into the jaws of an owl for nothing" Shiro asked, unamused.

"Well, I wouldn't say…all for nothing." A voice says within the darkness. Curiously, the rabbit looks around in the darkness…but it seems no one's around….until the voice announces to the rabbit…

"Yay high, cream fur, talking rabbit? I'd say the description we've got fits ya to a T, kid." The woman's voice echoes, once again.

"Dare I ask if that's a good thing…or a bad thing?" Shiro couldn't help but ask as the woman chuckles.

"Heh. I'd say…good thing. Welcome to…The Owl House." The woman says…as Shiro could hear an echoing…

Snap!

Before the rabbit knew it, candles begin to glow alit, and the room begins to illuminate.

With a mere flicker of the light, the room reveals itself to be messy & cluttered with books and furniture of all sorts, along with a tea set at the center of the room.

Shimmering high in the ceiling is a mural…of a shimmering golden owl.

"Well, temporary Owl House, but you get the gist. A place where we all hide away from the pressures of modern life." The woman finally speaks again. This time closer to Shiro.

The cream rabbit turns around to be greeted by a tall and middle-aged woman with pale skin, long white hair, and silver & gold eyes. The woman adorns herself in a crimson robe and boots, as she carries a staff shaped like an owl.

"Whooooaaaaaa…you've got different colored eyes!" Shiro says with stars sparkling in her eyes.

"You'd be surprised how many times I get that." The witch says to the audience as she soon turns to the rabbit.

"In any case, it's not like we'll be here for long, anyway. Name's Eda, kiddo. The old yutz wants us to house-sit 'till he gets back from a meeting with the other yutz in robes & arthritis." The witch says as she relaxes on the couch.

"House sitting, huh? And what's with all this 'we' stuff, anyway?" Shiro asks as she takes a seat.

"Well, believe it or not, I've got a few housemates, I've brought along for the ride." The witch says.

"That right? Like who?" Shiro asks, when all of a sudden…

"OH, QUE LINDA!" A girl screams out as she immediately snatches up Shiro and hugs her and squeezes her to the point where Shiro's eyes were bulging out.

"Cute, CUTE, CUUUUUUUUUUTE~!" It was a teenage girl with dark skin, brown hair, and brown eyes adorned in a purple and white sweatshirt, jean shorts, pitch-black stockings, and white shoes.

"Well, her, for starters." Eda says, casually.

"I've been seeing so many people all around this town, BUT THIS ONE TAKES THE # 1 SPOT AS THE CUTEST THING I'VE EVER SEEEEEEN! AAAAAAAAH!" The girl squeals as Shiro's only gasping for air.

"What's…the…reward? Air on borrowed time?" Shiro quipped amidst her gasping. It was at that moment the girl realized that she was hugging the rabbit too tight.

"Sorry, heeh…" The girl says bashfully, before dropping the rabbit and introducing herself. "Luz Noceda, at your service!"

"Nice to meet ya, kiddo!" Shiro bows, making Luz look at her, dramatically.

"HEY! WHO'RE YOU CALLING KIDDO!?" Luz yells out.

"Yeah! Only I get to call her kiddo!" Eda chimes, as Luz nods in agreement…before her eyes widened in surprise.

"H-HEY!" Luz calls out.

STOMP!

STOMP!

Suddenly, taking Shiro by surprise, the entire cottage began to shake and shiver…as if an earthquake was approaching. Or possibly…the footsteps of a monster.

"Whoawhoaaaa…what's goin' on!?" Shiro yells out. Luz and Eda, however, were unphased as Luz gives a slight chuckle.

"Oh yeah, I've got another housemate with me." Eda simply says.

"WHAT YOU BUDDY-BUDDY WITH BIGFOOT OR SOMETHING?!" Shiro called out…before an deep and chilling voice echoes throughout the cottage.

"FOOLISH MORTAL! WHO DARES TO ENTER THE CONFINES OF THIS SACRED PLACE?!" The voice boomed throughout the cottage as Shiro looks frantically. Eda could only roll her eyes.

"King…" Eda starts, before the voice boomed again. Meanwhile…Shiro then noticed that the proximity of the voice was coming…from above.

"Yes…IT IS I!" Shiro looks up to see…a tiny little creature resting on the very support beams of the cottage up above. A black-furred creature with a skull covering its face…as the creature introduces himself in a higher-pitched voice.

"THE KING OF THE DEMONS!" King introduces. Shiro tilts her head in confusion.

"Your housemate's a pet dog in a Halloween costume?" Shiro asks as King leaps down from the beams.

"HEY! It's KING of the demons! I'm no dog! H-HEY!" King retorts as Shiro simply grabbed King by the tail, and inspects it.

"Really? Hmm…maybe half Fox? Only other animal with a bushy ol' tail like yours. Also what's with the skull mask?" Shiro says, curiously.

"Trust me….you do NOT want to see what's under it." Luz says as she grimaces.

"Well, since we're done with rolecall, it's probably best that we get to business. Truth be told, ol' beardy wanted us to keep an eye out on someone with…the 'Keyblade' and it looks like we've found one of 'em." Eda explains as Shiro drops King.

"So, you fellas were looking for me?" Shiro asks.

"Well, Shiro, we caught wind of your arrival the moment you arrived town. Let's just say, when it comes to sensing Darkness…Witches have that kinda nose to snuff it out." Eda explains as Shiro took her seat, and King got up from the ground.

"And the Keyblade of Light's Magic is just…to powerful a scent to ignore. So, if YOU'RE here, then that means the Keyblade of Light's here, too." King says as he dusts the dust off his fur.

"Not only one, but TWO Keyblade Wielders? It's literally the talk of the town!" Luz says happily, gaining the rabbit's attention.

"Keyblade of Light? So, Sora IS here?" Shiro asks.

"I dunno who Sora is, but the Keyblade of Light IS here, that's for sure! That's why Hooty went all out." King explains.

"I HAD THE BEST PUZZLES AND EVERYTHING!" Hooty called out.

"Merlin was hoping to get both of you here, but he had to go on some…official Wizard business. So, he asked us to house-sit while he was gone." Eda explains.

"Sooooooo…what were you fellas hopin' to do with me & Sora present & accounted for?" Shiro asks.

"Oh, that's easy! We were gonna teach you guys some Magic!" Luz says happily. Shiro's jaw literally drop.

"WAWAWAWAWHAT?!" Shiro exclaims.

"Y'see, kid, you and your friend, Sora, houses two keys special from the rest, makin' them prone to great power. And there's Magic within them just WAITING to be pushed out." Eda explains.

"Great power?" Shiro asks as she took out her Keyblade.

"YEP! From what we've gathered, Dark Magic's imbedded in the Keyblade. Therefore, its wielder, meaning you, Shiro, are now its vessel of PURE darkness!" Luz explains.

"Aaaaaaand, given that the Keyblade chooses its Master, can't say there's any way to change that. Which is why, I'm here, kiddo." Eda finishes.

"So, you fellas are here to…teach me Magic?" Shiro asks.

"Yep." Eda says as she levitates to her side a cup of tea.

"That's the plan! Eda picked up a few Black Magic spells that she was ready to train you with, while I got me some handy-dandy Glyphs to teach ya!" Luz says as she presents to Shiro pieces of papers with Magical circles written on them. Shiro soon pondered this opportunity…and a question came to mind.

"Well…more or less Eda's the one that's been tasked to find ya while Merlin's out. I'm just here to see it all fall apart." King quips.

"VERY encouraging, King." Eda chuckles. Shiro soon pondered this opportunity…and a question came to mind.

"I uh…appreciate you fellas for being ready to teach me some Magic, but uh…this whole…Wiz Biz. Will it…help me find Sora and the rest of my friends?" She asks the Wizard. The witches & the tiny Titan simply blinks at her.

"Well, I don't see why not. With Magic, you've got the possibility to do ANYTHING you please. There's really no stopping you from using Magic to find your friends," Eda explains.

"You can also do what I do and use Magic to protect your friends, too! And besiiiiides, MAGIC IS SOOOOOO COOOOOL!" Luz says happily.

"No lies detected, here!" King says in agreement.

"Well, can't say I ain't pleased with being some...'chosen one,' but hey. Anything to find Riku and Kairi, right?" Shiro asked.

"You said it!" Luz and King say happily.

"HOOT-HOOT!" Hooty chirps. Shiro smirks…as it was clear she had a gameplan.

"Well then, when do ya fellas wanna start?" Shiro asks, antsy in anticipation. Both Luz and Eda look at each other with such mischievous grins.

"We'll start now!" They say in unison. On cue, Eda's staff glows a shimmering gold glow, and with a mere touch of the symbols, Luz conjured the elements of fire, water, and nature fluttered from out of the pieces of paper. Shiro couldn't help but give a wide grin in excitement.

"Ooooh, now this'll be fun~" Shiro muses.


Radcliffe Household

Entering the house in search for the creature, Sora and the Warners made their way into the bright blue doors, just under the bell-tower, and within they find themselves in a fancy, beige-colored walls of a comfortable living room. Although it appears that a fight has happened in this messy room.

"WHO GOES THERE?" A voice called out, completely taking the group by surprised. A male much older than the two came to the living room with a stern look in his eyes and a pipe in his mouth, he looked around, and soon...his eyes soften at the sight of the two.

"Roger, who's at the door?" Another voice called out, a female approaching the man. Already, the group can deduce that these two are a married couple.

The tall slender man appears to have shimmered blonde hair and a stern pointed chin. The slender man appears to be wearing a bright white shirt with a brown vest around the shirt, brown trousers, and brown dress shoes.

The slender and beautiful woman appears to have bright orange hair. She was by the husband's side wearing a bright blue dress shirt, and skirt with a blue ribbon-tied apron around her waist, and bright blue heels.

"Don't mind us, folks! We're just…passin' by…conveniently in your house." Dot says nervously with a big smile upon her face.

"We're uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…." Yakko tries to think up something, but it's clear that he couldn't.

"Plumbers…?" Wakko asks casually as Sora looked at the Warners in confusion. THIS, soon gave Yakko an idea.

"THAT'S RIGHT! Got any leakage? Toiletries just ain't doin' right for you? Then, let me tell ya, we're the BEST plumbers this town's gotta offer!" Yakko announced as he and the Warners spun like tops…before suddenly being adorned in plumber overalls, manned with tools.

"So uh, whatcha doing…?" Sora asks.

"Improvising." Yakko whispers.

"But…why?" Sora asks.

"Sora, sweetie~ you try to think up a reason why we're barging into a couple's home while a man's pointing a GUN at us." Dot whispers sternly. All while the couple could only chuckle at the four people. Sora, meanwhile sighs.

"I think you fellas already forgot that we already HAD a reason." Sora says as he stepped up. "We were checkin' if you guys were ok, since we saw some…yellow thing come into your house." Sora explained, but was interrupted by the man.

"Oh? The poor thing? You just missed it. One moment, I was trying to figure out a proper tune to play, then the next, the creature bursts into the house running away from those…ghastly Heartless creatures. Gave us quite a fright." The man explained.

"Any idea where it is now?" Sora asks.

"The creature bolted through the backdoor, where the alleyway's connected. If you still wish to chase after the creature, you can continue through there." The woman says giving out the husband's name, Roger.

"Sure you don't want us to stick around in case they come back? You'll find we're QUITE the Pest Exterminators!" Yakko offered as he and his siblings were suddenly wearing jumpsuits with vacuums as their weapons.

"Thank you so much, son, but there's no need. The Second District has been rather quiet ever since the Heartless took the land." The man replies.

"But thanks to Mr. Gearloose's defense system, those vile creatures can't step foot into this house. Or…so we thought." The woman replies.

"Somehow, they're able to get through. I believe it's because the defense system is beginning to weaken, and the Heartless are multiplying by the minute. But, we've still the measurements to protect ourselves. Still…what about all of you? The streets are no place for children like yourselves." Roger explains, cautiously.

"If you would like, you could stay and have a cup of tea. The Nanny is making a fresh batch right about now." The woman offers as Sora shook his head.

"Nah! We're kinda on a tight schedule, Mr and Mrs, uhh….." Sora explains.

"Oh, where are my manners? Roger and Anita Radcliffe at your service." Mr. Radcliffe bows.

"Name's Sora!" Sora introduces.

"And We're the Warner Brothers!" Wakko and Yakko introduces.

"AND the Warner Sister." Dot adds.

"Well, Sora, Warners, you're welcome to meet with us at ANY time for a spot of tea." Mr. Radcliffe offers.

"I do hope you find your friends!" Mrs. Radcliffe calls out.

"Thank you, and sorry about bargin' into your house." Sora says, bashfully as he raced to the patio door.

"No trouble at all." Roger says, as the Warners and Sora soon made their way through the house...until, Wakko soon stopped looking at a... peculiar, yet sadden sight, as the two made it to the parlor.

"What is it, Sib?" Yakko asks taking noticed of his halted brother.

"Say, fellas…what's with them?" Wakko asks the Radcliffes. Everyone looked to where Wakko was pointing - two dalmatian dogs in the corner of the room. Together, they both only slumped to the ground, in complete sadness and depression...as their pitch-black ears flopped down to the ground as well. The Radcliffes' welcoming smiles depleted, as well.

"Oh, poor Pongo and Perdi. When we first came to Traverse Town, we were safe and sound. Oh, but amidst our hardships, Pongo and Perdita suffered the worst of it all." Roger says in disappointment.

"99 Dalmatian puppies were a part of our family. But when our world was destroyed, the poor puppies didn't make it to Traverse Town with us. We could only assume that they're scattered throughout the dozens of worlds out there." Anita explains as Sora looked at the two Dalmatians with a sadden look on their faces.

"Wowie…. Must be rough...losin' 99 puppies in that storm..." Sora says.

"Three…" Yakko starts, suddenly.

"Two…" Dot continues.

"One…" Wakko finishes, as FINALLY the cream mouse was suddenly taken aback by what the Radcliffes said.

"99 PUPPIES!?" Sora screams out as his eyes literally bulged from his sockets again.

"99 puppies." Anita says, sadly. Even then, Sora was STILL taken aback.

"Y-you're jokin' right? O-or at least a miscalculation? Ah, what the hell! The math just doesn't even add up!" Sora says taking a calculator marking 2 + 2 = 99.

"Technically speaking, it does if we're counting up to 101." Yakko corrects.

"BESIDES THE POINT!" Sora yells out as he immediately zips to Yakko's face as he turns back to the couple. "Are you telling me that these two churned out 99 PUPPIES?!" Sora says in surprise, as the married couple nodded their heads.

"Yep, 99 puppies. We've done the math, ourselves, so no worries." Roger says as Anita nodded in agreement. Soon, a sniffled, and broken voice entered the room. The Nanny entered the room with tears in her eyes.

"Oh, and those poor puppies are lost, cold, alone in another wo-rld! W-w-w-who KNOWS what trouble they could be in!" The nanny says in complete sadness, as tears flooded down her eyes, as she tries to comfort them with a smock in her pocket.

"Yeesh, think of the 99 problems these two have to deal with." Yakko quipped.

"How about the 101 problems the owner of these two had to suffer," Dot quipped pointing to the two older dalmatians. Sora however looked at the two in worry.

"We'll find 'em." Sora suddenly pledged as everyone soon turned to the spiky-haired mouse.

"Beg pardon?" Anita asks.

"See, I have intentions of goin' to other worlds, anyway. When…or IF, stay with me on that one, IF…I find a way to get outta Traverse Town, I'll definitely keep a close eye out on those puppies for you." Sora says as he turned to Pongo and Perdita, who's ears perked up as they soon looked at the spiky-haired toon in confusion.

"You can count on me." Sora assured.

"Now, now, child. You don't have to go out and find them. Traveling to other worlds without a ship is impossible. On top of that, you could get yourself in even more harm's way than the puppies. Such a thing is better off a fitting job for Leon and his companions." Roger says as he only continued to smoke his pipe.

"I'll be fine, Mr. & Mrs. Radcliffe. I'll be sure to find your puppies for you, I swear it!" Sora assured.

"Ah, we'll keep an eye out on 'em." Yakko assures.

"Yeah!" Dot and Wakko cheers. The Radcliffes and the two Dalmatians only looked at the toons in surprise.

Just what is it that's driving them to do something like this? Still...Pongo and Perdita can only smile at the mouse's proclaim...anything to see their darlings back.

"I'm not quite sure what's driving you to do this, but...if you do find them on your journey...then you will have our eternal thanks." Anita says to the two.

"Of course! " both Sora and the Warners say in unison as they got walking, knowing that they will no doubt make the Radcliffes and the Dalmatians satisfied. But one can only wonder...just how can they possibly travel to other worlds?


The Alleyway

"Awfully an animal person aren't ya, Sora?" Wakko asks as the group make their way through the Alleyway. Another quiet space in this town.

"I'm an animal, they're animals, animals stick together!" Sora says happily as he placed his gloved hands behind his back as they walked through the alleyway.

"That's great & all, genius but uhhh….exactly HOW do you intend on finding them?" Yakko couldn't help but ask.

"The Gummi Ship?" Dot whispers, confusedly.

"I know. Just wanna hear the kid out." Yakko replies.

"I dunno. I guess I'll...wing it. I'm sure in time, I can find a way out of Traverse Town. Hopefully, I can ask for help from Cid, Tails, and Lucca." Sora says casually.

"That a boy, Sora! What's a few other people to look out for? Adds more to the adventure!" Dot says happily as the group took a turn to the main block of the alleyway.

"Look!" Wakko yells out…for it seems trouble has just landed in front of them.

The boy and the three toons looked to see a strange yellow rodent being surrounded by Heartless at the other side of the alleyway. The Warner trio looked in befuddlement at the creature's look.

"What is that?" Dot asked.

"Looks like someone forgot their pet rodent," Yakko quipped.

"You sure that's a rat? Looks too cheesy to be a rat." Wakko couldn't help but say.

"Whatever the hell it is, must be the one on the run with the Heartless. Let's get 'em!" Sora said as he was the first to rush forward and charged to the shadows.

He slashed at the Heartless while Yakko, Wakko, and Dot did what they can to protect the mouse creature. After a while, their numbers started to slowly decrease until soon… they were all gone.

"There y'go, lil' guy." Sora said comforting the mouse creature as he defeated the last of the shadows.

"Pika...pikapi..." The rodent muttered weakly.

"Damn. Those guys really did a number on the poor guy. Got anythin' that could help?" Sora asked the Warners. Yakko steps up.

"Sounds like MY expertise, to me~" Yakko says as he started playing a soothing from his lute. A hymn so beautiful that music notes itself began to pour from the lute as it glows a soothing green glow.

Said music notes soon traveled to the mouse…and simply absorbed within him. To Sora's surprise, the mouse's wounds were beginning to mend.

"Pika?" The mouse moaned groggily as it was starting to regain consciousness.

"It worked!" Wakko acknowledged.

"Another heal done well, bro!" Dot says to Yakko.

"Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week." Yakko boasts as he gives a bow.

"Another bit of Magic that I'm supposed t'know, but I can't since I've never seen it outside of the island?" Sora asks, quickly as the healed mouse soon leaped onto his shoulder. He was healthier than ever, thanks to Yakko.

"That my spiky-haired friend is a Healing Hymn," Yakko explained. "Y'see, Sora, music is my expertise. If you let it, Music can mend any wounds, charm any foes, encourage our friends, and so on and so forth." Yakko explains.

"I think the author got the idea from World of Warcraft or something," Dot quipped.

"Could be, I always loved those games," Wakko agreed.

"I never knew how cool and common Magic seems to be. I mean, YOU use Magic, Wakko use Magic….Dot?" Sora asks as he turns to the youngest Warner.

"A few spells like traps, but nothing suits me more than dancing around the fields, reducing those Shadows into nothin' more than carcasses, rending their flesh opens, and occasionally feeling their shadowy blood paint my gorgeous fur~" Dot says…in an increasingly maddened tone.

…..

"Daily reminder that this is my baby sister, folks." Yakko says to the audience.

"I'm sure if Shiro had the chance, she'd LOVE to use all that Magic stuff. For now, I'm sure she and the others are somewhere. Wanna come with us?" Sora says as he soon looks to the yellow creature.

"Pika!" The creature says happily.

"Cool! Glad to have you on board, uh...what's your name?" Sora said turning to the fully healed mouse-like creature.

"Pika, Pikachu!" the mouse squeaked.

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh call it intuition...but I think his name is Pikachu..." Yakko quipped. Pikachu nods, confirming the Warner's deduction.

"Gesundheit," Wakko said.

"Thank you," Yakko said.

"Alrighty, Pikachu, where do you think we should go next?" Sora asked his new companion.

"PIKA!" Pikachu yells out. Completely energized once more, the rodent was quick to charge at the pathway blocked by crates. Soon enough something…peculiar happened.

The trio noticed his bolt-shaped tail…beginning to covet into a glossy silver sheen, taking the toons by surprise.

"Not sure if mice could do that, could you?" Yakko asks.

"I CAN'T EVEN DYE MY FUR YELLOW IF I WANTED TO!" Sora yelled out as Pikachu charged at to the pathway with all his might. Soon…the mouse leaped up high in the air.

"PIIIIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPIKA!" Pikachu yells out as he smashed down the crates with his shimmering silver tail. Almost as if that crate met with solid iron.

"Whoaaaaaa…." The toons say in awe as the gloss began to leave Pikachu's tail.

"Pika!" Pikachu says, confidently."

"Well, someone's full of surprises, huh?" Sora says in intrigue.

"Pika!" Pikachu chirped happily. Despite not finding his friends or his sister yet…it's clear that his journey's going to be a rather…interesting one.


?

Meanwhile, deep below Traverse Town lies a cave. Shimmering throughout this cave are crystals aplenty, as they harmonize an enchanting tune throughout the cave.

Throughout the entirety of Traverse Town are characters throughout other worlds. Heroes and warriors of many.

In the darkness, they survey the town, and strike a blow against the Heartless, from the littlest shadow. They are…The Resistance.

As of now, while most of the members are doing field duty, we have a child & 3 adults monitoring all the events happening throughout Traverse Town…especially the whereabouts of Sora & Shiro.

The child was a young boy adorned in a crimson & tan super suit & helmet similar to Rocky. To match the similarities, the boy also had a shimmering silver pawprint emblem on the center of his suit.

Onto the adults. One was a tall young woman with brown eyes and tall ebony-black hair. She adorns herself in a black tank top, cycling shorts, and black boots. Around her is her blue rib-nit duster sweater.

The other adult was a tall and slender man with crimson eyes and ebony-black hair. He wears a pitch-black jumpsuit with bronze sabatons and a shimmering clawed gauntlet. Around him is his blood-colored cape, and atop his head is his matching bandana.

Lastly, a young woman with ebony and red hair and silver eyes. She wears a red and black dress and bodice, rosy stockings, leather black boots…and flowing in the night wind is her crimson red hood. By her side is her crimson and mechanical scythe.

Monitoring the events of Traverse Town is Vincent Valentine, Riona Heartilly, Ruby Rose, and the leader of the Paw Patrol, himself, Ryder.

"So, that's them?" Ryder asks.

"No doubt about it. Sora & Shiro - The Key Bearers of Light & Darkness." Vincent says with such an…unreadable tone. Ruby, meanwhile couldn't help but look at the situation skeptically.

"Doesn't seem like the odds are in our favor though. Considering…the Key Bearer of Darkness is learning a few spells or two from Eda." Ruby says, nervously.

"Question is…how many spells is that witch intending to teacher her. We won't know 'till she makes her way out of there." Vincent says as he turns to the young Paw Patrol leader.

"What's your team been up to, Ryder?" Vincent asks.

"The Paw Patrol's still working on evacuating whoever's left in the other districts. Mr. & Mrs. Radcliffe are the only ones who chose to stay behind, so Dr. Gearloose created a security system just for them." Ryder explains.

"And Copycat?" Ruby asks.

"We're keeping an eye out on him, too." Ryder replies.

"Hmph…we need members to catch those kids before they find a way outta here." Riona says.

"After studying the schematics of this world, the passage Sora just went through will lead him right back to Traverse Town." Ruby explains.

"And Leon's waiting for 'em, there." Vincent concludes.

"That still leaves the Key Bearer of Darkness." Riona inquires.

"She's got not place to run, either. She can't fly outta here without anyone seeing it, and there are three places she'll be runnin' into us. First District, she'll end up in the crossfire with Leon. She tries to use Merlin's secret passage, she'll just end up in OUR grasp" Vincent explains.

"And the Second District?" Ryder asks. Vincent simply answers by taking out his handgun.

"I'll be waitin' for her, there." Vincent says in a dangerous tone.

"Just be on your guard, Vincent. With 'Magic' by her side, the rabbit might be a bit trickier to deal with." Riona explains. Soon, the monitor cuts to the face of a familiar little fox.

"Tails, what's the status on the Heartless?" Riona asks as a small…

CLANK!

Was uttered throughout the cave.

"Not good, Riona. Like…at first the Heartless population barely touched 20% Now their population just jumped to 70% outta nowhere." Tails explains.

"And the monsters?" Vincent asks.

"Well, going by Cid & Rocky's latest run, it appears that the Monster population's steadily rising, too. And we STILL haven't found the one responsible for these attacks." Tails reports.

CLANK!

"It can't be a coincidence, can it? The Heartless, the Monsters, they've gotta be attracted to the Keyblade. They must've sensed their presence the moment they entered town." Ruby deduced.

"Right, Ruby. Which means it's only a matter of time before those numbers jump even higher." Ryder explains. Soon, Ruby looks to Riona in concern.

"Think Leon'll be okay, out there?" Ruby asks earning a smile from the ebony-haired woman.

"He'll be fine. One thing's for sure, we can't afford any mistakes. They HAVE to get those Keys off of them before the Heartless d-" Riona says before she was interrupted by a sudden…

CLANK!

"Before the Heartless d-"

CLANK!

"Do-"

CLANK!

"Do-"

CLANK!

"DO YOU TWO MIND!?" Riona yells out as the three turn to see the clanking sounds coming from two dwarves mining crystals with their pickaxes. One dwarf was in red and wearing a beard, while the other was beardless wearing green robes & a purple hat.

The dwarf in red didn't like the man's response.

"As a matter of fact, I DO mind, missy!" The grumpy dwarf says as he marches towards Riona.

"We ain't got a home, so the least we could do is mine some crystals to PROVIDE for this town! We were doin' all fine & dandy before your RESISTANCE thing came bargin' into our cave!" Grumpy complains. Ruby only sighs.

"For the last time, Grumpy…this isn't your cave. And besides, we're on an important mission, here. You can mine somewhere else!" Ruby retorts.

"I AIN'T GOTTA LISTEN TO WHIPPERSNAPPERS LIKE YOU!" Grumpy yells to the Crimson Reaper. Riona only gives out a frustrated sigh.

"I'd rather you not yell at the young cadets, Grumpy. Now, do you want us to find your Princess or not?" Leon says in a dangerous tone. Grumpy stayed silent, while the Dopey dwarf only tilts his head in confusion.

"Well…I…" Grumpy starts but was interrupted by Riona.

"Then just let us do our work…just for a bit. Alright?" Riona asks. With a huff…the dwarf relents.

"Fine. There better be good minin' spots somewhere else in town, though. C'mon, Dopey!" Grumpy says mumbling as he takes his leave from the cave. The group meanwhile returns to the business at hand.

"We definitely can't afford any slip-ups. Not when so many people are counting on us." Ryder says in agreement as Riona nods.

"We need those keys. They really are our…Keys to Survival." Riona says with hope in her eyes.


Third District

"WHOOOOOOOOOO! GOD, I've never felt so alive!" Shiro bellows out for all the Third District to hear.

Meanwhile, much time has passed since Shiro entered that runic door. Now, the rabbit exits through it and walk through the Third District square. The rabbit was almost brimming with Magic, as if she was reborn. It's clear she enjoyed Eda's training.

"Took plenty of notes on the spells I learned. Hehehehhe, and I can't wait to write down more! Ohhhhhhh, I never thought that Magic would be fun, fun, FUN! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!" The toon cackles maddingly as all kinds of elements danced around her gloved fingers.

"NOW! Who's gonna be my test dummy?" Shiro says, mischievously.

Almost immediately…her challenge has been answered. As she approached the center of the Third District…a familiar set of creatures surrounded her. Her eyes widened knowing who she's up against.

"The bastards that chewed up the island…" Shiro says in surprise. Soon enough…if deteriorates into a sadistic grin.

"Looks like YOU'LL be my test dummies~" Shiro sings as she took from her Gag Bag a Rubber Chicken. All she simply did was grip it and it suddenly began to heat up. And as the Shadows began to close in on her…

"DRAGON'S BREATH!" Shiro screams out when suddenly…

"B-CAWWWWWWWWWWWW!" Like a flamethrower, the Rubber Chicken suddenly shoots out a magical stream of fire at the Shadows in front of her.

The rabbit quickly rolled out of the way to dodge the Shadows behind her before they could strike her with her sharp claws.

"Signature move – Dragon's Breath…even though it's technically speaking a Rubber Chicken's Breath," Shiro says as she dismissed her Rubber Chicken back into her Gag Bag.

Quickly, the Shadows approached her as she moved onto her next set of Magic…Glyphs.

The rabbit took from her Gag Bag a pair of green roller skates, a notebook, and a pencil. Putting on the roller skates, Shiro charged at the Shadows while scribbling on numerous notebook pages.

Before the Shadows could grab her, she was quick to hand to three of the Shadows pieces of notebook paper as she skates off screen. They all look at the papers confusedly…as they have…a strange symbol drawn on it.

But before they could even figure it out…

"MADE YA LOOK!" Shiro says happily as she poked up behind them out of nowhere. Before they could even react…

"HAVE AN ICE GLYPH!" Shiro calls out as she slams…the glyphs into their faces with her two gloved hands…although there was also a third one because…cartoon logic.

BOOOOOOM!

The rabbit was quick to get out of the way; when all of a sudden, those three Shadows were sent flying across the Third District as 3 shimmering pillars of ice formed from the glyphs. Thus, slamming all 3 Shadows into the walls.

That didn't stop the remaining Heartless from surrounding the jokester. Shiro only grins as she summons her Keyblade in a roar of black flames.

"Alright, pallies!" Shiro says as she took from her Gag Bag…a familiar hunter's hat…as she says this to the Heartless and then to the audience.

"It's Hunting Season! So be veeeeewy quiet~" Shiro says mischievously as she cocks her Keyblade like a gun…and prepared to fight the Heartless.


First District

"THIS IS HOPELESS!" After a long journey through the Second District, Sora, Wakko, Yakko, and Dot return to the First District completely unsuccessful with their search for either the Kings, Riku, and Kairi.

"All that runnin' & fightin' and STILL no sign of Shiro, Riku, or Kairi!" Sora sighs in exasperation. He then took to the cafe and took a seat. "I need a break" the mouse sighed with Pikachu on his lap.

"Pika..." Pikachu sighed.

"Ah, don't worry, Sora, we'll find 'em!" Wakko says happily.

"Yeah, says that there're five districts in this town. Your friends, our friends, they're just BOUND to pop up in one of 'em." Dot assures.

"Like I always say, Sora, my man, there're plenty of fish in the sea." Yakko says, making the spiky-haired toon look at him confusedly.

"Uhhhh…ain't that used for pickin' up ladies?" Sora couldn't help but ask.

"I mean am I wrong?" Yakko asks.

"I certainly don't think so. After all…you reeled in the finest fish around~" A new voice says seductively. The toons and the Pikachu soon looked to see a woman…completely dressed in black, leaning on a lamppost…and blowing smoke directly at Sora.

"My, my, my~ What an adorable little mouse. First time around the block?" The woman asks Sora seductively. Pikachu could only look at the woman uneasily, Dot in disgust, Sora could only blush at the woman before her, and Wakko & Yakko….

Well…

"HELOOOOOOOO NURSE!" Wakko and Yakko howled with hearts in replace of their eyes.

"Boys." Dot sighed. Soon the woman walked past the lovesick Warners and to the nervous spiky-haired mouse whose heart is LITERALLY beating out of his chest.

"Well, care for the nice lady to show you around?" The woman said caressing the nervous mouse's cheeks.

"Uhhhhh he-heh n-no thank you..." Sora chuckled nervously. Unknown to him a small pond of darkness began to form near him and the woman.

"But I want to help you. There's no need to hold back with me..." The woman mused seductively, making Sora even more frightened than ever. Unfortunately, Wakko and Yakko won't be of much help, and Dot and Pikachu are looking upon something else.

"Is that normal?" Dot said in concern looking upon the pool of darkness forming.

"Pika...PIKA!" Pikachu yelled as the metallic heartless from before suddenly sprung out of pool and towards the woman with its sharp claws at the ready.

"I-I NEED AN ADULT!" Sora cried out in terror.

"I am an ad-GAHHHHH!" The woman cried out as the metal heartless jabbed the woman at her torso with its own claws, revealing a heart. Just like the man from before.

Wakko & Yakko FINALLY snapped out of their trance as the group looked to see the woman stumble back…and soon fell to the ground…fading into darkness as the prime murderer, a Soldier gazed at the group with a cold dead stare…and a heart in its clawed hand.

"Welp so much for a break." Yakko says casually as the group got into position. Immediately, the Soldier leaped out to snatch Sora's heart, too. The spiky-haired mouse prepared to parry the attack, but…

BOOOOM!

It….was enveloped into a massive explosion…which incinerated? Everyone only blinked in confusion.

"I thought you said ya didn't know Magic, Sora." Wakko pipes up.

"I…don't." Sora says confusedly as he looks to himself & the Keyblade. Could he have done this?

"Looks like that lady won't be getting her heart back, huh?" Yakko says casually as the eldest Warner soon points to the sky. Everyone looks up to see the woman's heart blissfully floating higher & higher into the night sky, until evidently fading into darkness.

"You were lucky that prostitute was in the way…otherwise that heart…could've been yours." A new voice says. The group looked to see another figure simply gazing at the quartet on the other side of the district.

Leaning on the Third District door…is a man. A man with brown spiky hair and a scar across his face.

He was wearing a white T-shirt as the rest of his attire consisted of black. Black motorcycle jeans with orange and black leather belts swirling around his waist, jet black boots, skin-tight gloves with 3 small belts buckled on wrists, and to top his attire off, a small leather jacket with a silver lion-shaped necklace around his neck.

"They'll come at you out of nowhere…and they will NEVER rest…so long as you hold the Keyblade." The man says as he soon approached Sora & the Toons. Sora, Wakko, Yakko, and Pikachu prepared for the worst.

Dot, however…

"Dot?" Wakko asks as Yakko rolls his eyes. To Sora's confusion, Dot was sweating bullets and panting like a dog. The littlest Warner's eyes BLUGED, and immediately she zipped into the man's hands, saying the same words as her brothers:

"HELLOOOOOOOOOOO NURSE!" Dot exclaims as her eyes suddenly turned into hearts and rapidly onslaughts the man with kisses. Yakko and Wakko rolled her eyes, meanwhile Sora could look at the toons in confusion.

"Y'know, I'm starting to think you fellas have a type." Sora asks.

"Yup!" Both Wakko & Yakko say in unison.

"GET OFF!" The man yelled out as he pulled the swooning toon off his face and placed her on the ground. He then turns back to the spiky-haired toon.

"Look, I don't know what sick god decided to give such a powerful weapon to a...cartoon character of all people, letalone a kid. But I'm not in the mood to play around." He threatens, making Sora look at him in offense.

"W-HEY! Everyone in this town REALLY got a vendetta against cartoons, huh?" Sora asked, credulously.

"Sad, but true." Wakko says as Dot regrouped with her siblings. The man only sighs.

"Nevermind," the man said taken aback as he was suddenly nearing Sora, the Warners and Pikachu. "Now, let's see that key," he said suddenly creeping near them.

"Sorry, but my mommy said to never talk to strangers, so uh I'll have to ask you to leave me alone, please." Sora says feigning innocence like the smart aleck.

"Seems like we're at a miscommunication." The man says bluntly as he points his blade at the toon – a blade attached to what appears to be a gun holster.

"WHOA! Better watch out, Sora, this man's weapon is half gun half-sword! How could ANYONE handle such power?" Dot fretted.

"I didn't make a request, kid. One way or another, you WILL give me that Keyblade." The man retorts. In response, Sora only looked at the man determinedly.

"Alright, buddy boy, I've tried playin' friendly, but looks like I'll have to say it a bit harsher, now. I'm using this key to find my friends and my sis! There's NO way I'm gonna let you have it!" Sora pledged. A smirk creaked upon the man's face.

"Have it your way. The man says as he immediately charged at the boy, at the speed of light. He delivered a slash, but it was quickly caught by Sora. The two were now locked in a tug-o-war.

"A toon like you can't possibly fathom the power the Keyblade has. GIVE IT UP!" The man demanded.

"THE THING CHOSE ME, SO BACK OFF!" Sora exclaims as the two only glared daggers at each other.

Soon, they delivered a flurry of slashes against each other. The clanging sounds of blades erupted through the First District, and the sight of sparks began to sprinkle through the square.

"Go Sora!" The Yakko and Dot cheered in unison waving their flags, while Wakko sat in a lawn chair and ate popcorn. Pikachu however looked at his new owner in worry.

"Pika..." the Pikachu said in worry. Unfortunately for Sora, The man was able to break through his onslaught, allowing an opening.

Which means…it's time to play for keeps.

As the man was about to deliver a slash at Sora, the mouse was quick to backflip away from the man and take from his Gag Bag a big ol' magnet. Pointing it towards Leon, the attraction was too much to bear for him…as his blade was pulled right into Sora's magnet.

"Heh~" Sora says, mischievously as he holds both the Keyblade AND Leon's Gunblade.

"Clever~" Yakko muses.

"Pikapi!" Pikachu says happily, as he was gaining hope for Sora, yet. Meanwhile, the cocky mouse looks to the brown-haired man.

"So, what now, buddy boy? How can ya fight me when I got both this nifty Key AND your lil' Gunblade?" Sora asks as he points Leon's weapon against him.

"You don't have the balls to use my own weapon against me. If you don't even know how to use the Keyblade, how'll you know how to use THAT?" Leon challenges.

"What's not to understand? All I gotta do is just point it…aaaaand…WHOA!" Sora says as he points the Gunblade at Leon in hopes of understanding its power.

Fortunately, the mouse tumbled to the ground as he was able to let loose a scalding ball of fire from the Gunblade to Leon.

Of course, the brown-haired man was quick to dodge…the Third District Door, however…


Third District

"Awww, c'mon, fellas! Is THAT really the best you could do?" Shiro says, sweetly as she was able to completely take down the Heartless attacking her….well, not completely.

To her dismay, even MORE Heartless were surrounding her. The rabbit couldn't help but look in frustration as the army only continued to grow.

"I just HAD to ask, didn't I? Almost felt like clockwork, saying that!" Shiro complains as the Heartless were once again closing in on her. Despite being an exuberant little toon…it's clear that she's beginning to tire out.

"At this rate, I'll be outta Glyph paper, Mana, and just…all around energy. If their goal's to wear me out, then I admit…they're doin' a great job." Shiro says tiredly to herself as the Shadows, once again, closes in.

When suddenly…

BANG!

A sweltering ball of fire bursts from the Third District door to take out the Shadows in front of the rabbit. Once again, Shiro and most of the other Heartless dodged as the fireball traveled to the stone wall before them.

The remaining 4 Heartless & Shiro looked back at the hole…and then back to the door. It's clear to them that something might've caused it.

…but quickly, taking them by surprise, Shiro took this opportunity to strike down the distracted Heartless with her Keyblade.

"Now, I may not know Battle Tactics 101, but you should PROBABLY focus on the one you're tryin' to kill." Shiro says, smugly before racing to the Third District door to the First District.

She peers into the hole in the door formed by the fireball…to see a familiar creature arising from the ground with two weapons at hand.

"Sora…?" Shiro asks herself.


First District

Meanwhile, back with the mouse, he sprang right back up like a rake as he, Leon, and the peanut gallery looked at the hole made by him.

"So, uh…can I have my blade back before you kill someone with it?" Leon asks in a dreary tone.

"Hmmm…now what's the word I'm 'lookin' for? Hmm…it's off the tip of my tongue…" Sora says, sarcastically as he ponders.

"Is it 'No?'" Wakko asks.

"CORRECT! HEHEHEEHHAHAHAHA!" Sora answers maddingly as he suddenly spun like a tornado to chase after Leon with both the Keyblade and the Gunblade. The brown-haired man was quick on his toes to get out of the way of Sora's spinning attack.

As Leon dodged, Sora skids to the Third District door. Looking back at the door, the mouse has an idea. Like a spring, the mouse used the door as a boost to spring himself to deliver an attack from Leon.

The Lionheart, this time, was prepared to carefully…and quickly disarm the Gumblade from Sora's gloved hands while the mouse was still in midair.

"Wow…he's good…" Sora says in awe as he soon slingshots himself back to Leon's side using one of the lampposts. Almost as if it was rubber, the lamppost shot Sora back to the brown-haired man as…

CLANG!

Their blades connected with each other again. Just like Shiro, Sora was taking full advantage of his Toon Powers by utilizing the environment around him.

Soon enough, Leon broke the mouse's defense once again, and sends the mouse fight straight into the mailbox. Said mailbox…simply just ate Sora up whole.

"Yeesh/Pika…" Yakko & Pikachu grimaced in unison.

"Uh…is that supposed to do that?" Dot couldn't help but ask. Meanwhile, Shiro was simply watching the whole scene from the Third District without being seen.

"It should take the kid into the Post Office just below the town. It'll take a while for him to come back, here." Leon simply says before…

CLUNK! CLUNK!

Everyone looked to see the mailbox bulging upwards & downwards as if something was trying to break loose. Leon sneered, knowing that someone was going to come out of there. He was prepared.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

"YAAAAAAAA-HOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sora cries out as he shot out of the mailbox like a cannonball as he comes at Leon, once again, with the Keyblade at hand.

This time, Leon didn't hesitate. He simply swats the Cannonball Sora using the flat end of his blade.

"AWW, C'MON, GIVE ME A CHANCE TO ATTACK YAAAAAA!' Sora cries out as he was sent hurdling towards the Accessory Shop.


Accessory Shop

"DONE!" Rocky says happily as we soon cut INTO the Accessory Shop as Cid, Tails, and Lucca look in marvel at Rocky's work. The Paw Patrol Pup was able to successfully fix the wall crater made by Dr. Scratchansniff.

"Shooo-wee! FINALLY, I don't have to look at that eyesore. Thanks, Rocky!" Cid says happily.

"No job is too big, and no pup is too small!" Rocky says, happily as he relaxes on the couch.

"So…what now?" Tails asks.

"More importantly, how are you going to prevent it from happening again? I mean, Scratchy's one thing, but…what about the Heartless?" Lucca asks.

"Ah, don't worry none about them. I've got the Cid Cannon propped up & ready in case THOSE bastards wanna break into the shop." Cid says, confidently.

"I've given him a myriad of suggestions to name the cannon, and he STILL goes for that…?" Tails mumbles in disappointment.

When suddenly…

CRASH!

"HI, CID! BYE, CID!" Sora yells out as he crashed into the Accessory Shop door. And before EITHER of them knew it…

CRASH!

He was sent crashing right out of the Accessory Shop…through the wall that Rocky has JUST finished fixing. Cid, Lucca, Tails, and Rocky could only look in horror at the NEW ball-shaped crater formed by Sora.

"Man, I really hate cartoons…" Cid sighs as Rocky summoned his tools with a dreary look on the poor pup's face.


First District

SLAT!

FINALLY, the Second District door was just to thick for Sora to crash into…so instead he splat into the door and drooped down into a cream puddle.

As Sora's shimmering blue eyes formed on the puddle, they looked to see Leon's blade pointed at the puddle. It seems Leon was quick to catch up to him as Yakko, Wakko, Dot, and Pikachu trailed from behind.

"Good fight, kid. I admit, you've got a good head on your shoulder to think you could try to take my blade. But I'm afraid this is where it ends." The man threatens.

"Uh-ohhhh…" The Warners say in unison.

"PIKAPI!" Pikachu screams out.

Meanwhile, Shiro took the opportunity to enter the First District through the hole…as electricity gathered around her gloved fist. It all seems to be traveling into something attached to her gloved hand.

Meanwhile, Sora finally reformed from a liquid to a solid as he points his Keyblade to Leon's stomach.

"Ha! We can do this all day, pally! So long as I have this lil' thing with me!" Sora says, determinedly as Leon could only sigh.

"You can't keep this up, forever, you know that? The Heartless won't care if you're tired." Leon says in concern.

"Tired? C'mon, buddy! Who says I'm tired?" Sora says cockily…as he was panting.

"Well, you're out of breath, so, does that count?" Yakko asks.

"Not really helping my case here, Warner." Sora snaps back. Leon could only sigh in frustration.

"I'm tired, you're tired, we're all tired. But one way or another…you're GOING to hand over that Keyblade." Leon says, dangerously.

"How 'bout instead…" A new voice calls out as a familiar rabbit zips past the Warners & Pikachu. Before anyone could react…

"I GIVE YA SLAP ON THE BACK FOR TRYIN' TO MINCEMEAT MY BROTHER!"

BOOOOOOOOOOM!

"GRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Leon could only cry out in agony, when all of a sudden, an OVERPOWRING jolt of electricity began to course through his body.

"Oooooooh~" Sora, and the Warners say in awe…as the jolt stopped making Leon go down on one knee. Sora's face went from surprised to happy as he sees a familiar cream & white rabbit standing behind him.

"Heh, guess that was too much of a SHOCKING revelation for him." She says as she holds her gloved hand out, revealing a Joy Buzzer crackling with Electricity.

"SHIRO!" Sora says happily as he zips past Leon to hug his sister.

"Hehehe, told ya to let go, didn't I?" Shiro giggles as the two were sent to the ground.

"So, the famed Shiro. We meet at last!" Dot says as the Warners and Pikachu approached the twins.

"You know these fellas?" Shiro asks.

"Pika!" Pikachu chirps happily.

"Sora's told us all about you!" Wakko answered.

"Glad to see ya made some new friends~" Shiro taunts, making Sora frantically shake his head, flustered.

"Aww, c'mon, OF COURSE, NOT! There's no replacing you, Riku, and Kairi!" Sora replies, earning a punch on the shoulder from the rabbit.

"PFFT, THINK I DIDN'T?!" Shiro quips earning a laugh from both the mouse and the rabbit.

"We were actually just lookin' for you and his other friends until Mr. Grouchy Pants over there came in and got the drop on us." Dot says pointing to Leon who arose from the ground.

"Sister?" Leon says to himself.

"Havin' fun getting your ass kicked? Or am I interrupting you trying to 'handle it?'" Shiro asks, cockily.

"Hey, HEY! I did have everything under control. I got him on the ropes!" Sora boasts.

"Hardly." Leon simply says. "Though for what it works, you're more skilled than I thought, kid. Although…the Keyblade being in the hands of…well, Cartoons, I can't help but feel skeptical."

…..

Sora & Shiro could only look at each other.

"Should we tell him?" Shiro asks.

"We should probably tell him." Sora says in agreement, making the brown-haired man blink in confusion.

"Tell me…what, exactly?" Leon asks.

"WELLLLLLLLLLL, lotsa things happened on our island, aaaaand…" Shiro says as she held out her gloved hand. Soon enough, taking the Warners & Leon by surprise, Shiro simply summoned her Keyblade.

"The second key!" The Warners say in unison.

"Pika?" Pikachu asks. The spiky-haired man, meanwhile tensed up at the weapon Shiro was holding.

"The Keyblade of Darkness…in the hands of some…cartoon? Those two…are the chosen wielders?" Leon says in bewilderment.

"You got a problem with Toons, buddy boy?" Shiro taunts.

"He's got a lot of problems to sort out, that's for sure." Yakko quips earning a laugh from his siblings. The man could only pinch the bridge of his nose in such frustration.

"You okay, Sora?" Shiro asks.

"Well…I've been better, hehe…" Sora chuckles bashfully. This only made the rabbit glare at the man pointing the weapon at him.

"Not the best sight to come across while I was in SUCH a good mood. Seein' my pally's nose about to get popped by Scarface?" Shiro says as she gripped her Keyblade. The rabbit has the man's full attention.

"Lower your weapon, kid. I'm only trying to save both of your skins…well fur. The Keyblade's power is greater than EITHER of you could ever hope to comprehend." The man says, tiredly.

The rabbit…could only give a sharp-toothed grin.

"Too much power, huh? Personally, after all I learned…I think this thing doesn't have ENOUGH power~" Shiro sings. Everyone looked at the rabbit in confusion as Magic danced around the tip of her gloved fingers.

"Magic?" Leon asks in surprise.

"Ohhhhhh, I was wonderin' about that! You ALWAYS use that Joy Buzzer prank, and usually…it doesn't really act THAT shocky-shocky." Sora says in understanding.

"Where did you learn Magic?" Leon couldn't help but ask.

"I ended up in the Third District and got scooped up by Eda! She taught me Magic, and her buddy, Luz, taught me how to do stuff…like this!" Shiro says as she took out a notebook & pen again.

She writes another magical circle, completely different from what she wrote in the Third District. Simply crumpling it up, the Magic Circle forms into a glistening ball of light, as the rabbit hands it to the mouse.

"Coooooool~" Sora says in awe.

"That damn Witch. THAT much power, and she gave it to a nutcase like her? Still, I admit the both of you really held out well for yourselves. The question is…how much Magic do you know?" He says aloud.

"Curious, ain't we?" Shiro asks, playfully. With a snap of her fingers 3 small flames danced on the tip of her fingers. Not even singeing her fur.

"If ya MUST know, I learned the basic elements of Magic. Y'know, Fire, Ice, Thunder, Water, and Wind. She didn't want to teach me anythin' beyond the Ra Tier 'cause she wanted Merlin to see if I got the spunk." Shiro explains.

"What about Cure? And other White Magic spells?" Dot asks.

"Ehhh…well…hehehhh uhhh…" Shiro stammers, as Sora looked at her, smugly.

"You weren't able to master it, weren't you?" Sora asks, smugly. It was the rabbit's turn to be flustered.

"S-SHUT UP! The whole Glass Canon shtick suits me, anyway. You've seen it in Eldritch." Shiro retorts.

"That's true, you always did enjoy playing the Wizard classes there. And they usually have powerful spells but weak defense and no healing." Sora implies.

"Must be livin' the dream, huh?" Yakko asks.

"Pika!" Pikachu replies.

"I got an opportunity, and I took it. Simple as that." Shiro says, smugly.

"I admit. Whatever spells the witch taught you, they clearly didn't go to waste, given your strategy game. Same goes for you, Sora. I meant it when I said you did good out there." The man simply says, before pointing towards the key. "That said, I'm only trying the both of you. The Heartless aren't gonna go down without a fight."

"We've handled those guys before, we don't need some babysitter to take care of 'em, for us!" Sora said determinedly, making the man glare daggers at him.

"You both have a hubris problem, I swear." The man cursed.

"Well, well, well, what have we here?" A female voice called out. Everyone turned to see a woman with ebony-black hair and deep black eyes approaching the group.

A young woman, wearing a silver metal band around her head. She was wearing a yellow scarf, a green tube top with blue belts holding it. She is also wearing tan shorts and a blue belt tied around her waist. She also bears knee-high socks reaching mid-high in her thighs, and orange shoes. Finally, she also has orange fingerless gloves and two armbands constricting her arms.

"Squall Leonheart, defeated at the seams? Looks like you're slipping!" She taunts as Squall rolls his eyes.

"Squall Leonheart…ima call ya Squally!" Shiro chippers, making the brown-haired man sigh.

"Please don't…" He says frustratingly as he continues. "I went easy on them," The man introduced as 'Squall' lied.

"YOU CALL THAT GOING EASY?!" Sora and Shiro yelled out.

"Well, I dunno about you, Squally, but I think the spectators CLEARLY saw that ya straight up lost," Dot taunts earning a chuckle from the woman, and an eye-roll from 'Squall.' Soon, he continues, as he regained enough energy to stand on his own.

"Listen, guys. I stand by what I said. You two are in danger, which is why you have to come with us. Especially, you three. Given I know you've come on the King's behest" Leon requested, looking at Yakko, Wakko, and Dot.

"What for?" Sora asked, curiously.

"There is...much to discuss." Leon simply says in a dangerous tone.


Alleyway

Meanwhile, Donald and the other toons were stumbling aimlessly in the dark side of town, what appears to be the alleyways. Nothing but the sound of their thoughts were through here. You'll never know just what might pop up in the night in this area.

"Donald, I think you led us in a dead-end," Daffy said bluntly.

"Gawrsh, I hope we find Leon and these Resistance guys, soon. This place sure gives me the creeps." Goofy said fearfully.

"Y-y-y-y-y-yeah, Donald. How about we uhhhh say...come back in the morning to look for Leon? Y'know when the atmosphere isn't so...spooky...?" Porky shivered.

"Grow a backbone, guys! I'm not scared," Donald said bravely. But the moment he noticed someone touching him, he leaped in the air, screaming, and landed cowering on top of Goofy.

"Our brave leader, everybody. Definitely not scared." Daffy said sarcastically causing Donald to grumble in irritation.

Taking the group by surprise…a familiar set of foes began to appear blocking both their ways of escaping. They were large creatures…adorned in the similar apparel as the Soldier Heartless…only with such an abnormally large stomach.

"Uh-oh…" Goofy says, meekly.

"W-w-w-what ARE these things?" Porky asks as he took out his book in concern. Soon, enough, Jiminy peers from under Goofy's hat, and looked to the creatures in realization.

"Wait a minute! I think I've seen these creatures in my journal! Hold on a sec…" Jiminy says as he flicks through the pages, all meanwhile the creatures stomped forward.

"Uhhh, any time would be MOST appreciated, Jiminy, 'cause they're on the move, here!" Daffy says in concern.

"Now, hold on…" Jiminy says as he flickers through the pages, frantically. Donald sighs, frustratedly.

"Ahh, phoey! We'll be as flat as pancakes if we don't do something!" Donald cries out as he took out his staff and points to the large Heartless in front of him.

"FIRE!" Donald yells out as he projects a fireball at the creature.

But to the duck's surpise, the Heartless simply caught the fireball with his stomach…as he then shoots it back to Donald.

"WAK!" The duck missed. The other duck, however…

BOOOM!

"How joyous." Daffy says with his face completely covered in soot.

Soon enough, the Heartless couldn't handle the stalling anymore as they slapped their bellies and charged at the Toons.

"JIMINY!" Both Donald & Porky screams out.

"I'VE GOT IT! Large Bodies! These creatures seem to be called Heartless; and these big fellas could only be attacked when their backs are turned!" Jiminy reads out.

…..

"Oh, joy. I think we'll remember that after their guts SANDWISH US INTO OBLIVON!" Daffy cries out as the Large Bodies were ever so closer to flattening the Toons.

Until…

BOOOOOOOM!

Before any of the Toons could react, a shimmering ball of crimson fur zipped right to their side, and created a powerful shockwave to send the Heartless in front of Donald flying. Everyone, even the remaining Large Body looked to see what happened.

Standing in front of everyone…is a bulky echidna with crimson fur & purple eyes. Just like Tails, the echidna was wearing red, yellow, and green shoes with shimmering silver braces on the center. He was also wearing white gloves with spikes on the knuckles.

Before the Toons could react, the echidna crackles with crimson electricity as he speed to the remaining Heartless sending THAT one flying, as well. As of now, the two Heartless were soaring in midair.

"SKYE! NOW!" The echidna yells out…as a new figure enters the scene.

"THIS PUP'S GOTTA FLY!" A girl's voice calls out. Soring through the nighttime sky with pink wings is another puppy adorned in a supersuit similar to Copycat & Rocky. This puppy's supersuit and helmet was pink in color, and her emblem was a tornado.

Which makes quite some sense as she soon summons from her paws a pink tornado to suck up the two Large Bodies.

"TELL ME WHEN, KNUCKLES, AND I'LL SEND 'EM DOWN!" The pup named Skye says as the echidna named Knuckles punched his fists. He crackles with electricity once more as a grin enters his face.

"Drop 'em. And we finish them off at the count of 3." Knuckles says as Skye did as the echidna says & dispel her tornado. Now, the Large Bodies were hurdling down towards the group.

"One…" Knuckles says as he gathers electricity, once more.

"Two…" Skye says as her supersuit glows a shimmering link glow as she envelopes herself into a tinier tornado.

"THREE!" They say in unison as both Knuckles & Skye sped through the Heartless at top speed, completely defeating them as Skye lands into the water and Knuckles the rooftops.

"Whoa…" Donald, Goofy, and Porky say in awe.

"As I live in breathe…" Jiminy couldn't help but say.

"Ruff! Ruff!" Skye barks as she soon approached the Toons. "Are you guys, okay?" Soon, Daffy shook his head frantically.

"Thank you kindly for the charity, kiddo, but I assure you, we were JUST fine until you two showed up." Daffy says, cockily.

"Doesn't pay accept help, Daffy, especially since we were going to be toast from those…creatures." Jiminy mumbles.

"Knuckles! Skye! There you two are!" A new voice chimes in. As Knuckles lands to the ground, a new figure raced after the group.

Everyone turned to see a brown-haired girl with sparkling green eyes, wearing a pink dress and brown boots.

"Sorry, Aer. But no time's a wasting! The King's Subjects were being attacked by the Heartless." Skye explains.

"The King? You know about the King?" Goofy asks.

"Better question, how do YOU know we're the King's subjects?" Daffy asks, credulously. Knuckles simply rolled his eyes.

"Well, we've met a lot of strange faces throughout town, but uh….well, there's all of you." Knuckles simply says.

"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!?" Donald barks earning a laugh from Skye.

"C-c-could you fellas perhaps be this…R-Re-Res-Resistance that we've been hearing about over town?" Porky asks. The woman nods her head as she stepped forth.

"Yes. My name is Aerith Gainsborough. Leon sent us to find you." The woman introduces.

"Leon?" Donald asks.

"Yep! Now…you guys REALLY need to come with us. We know of a safe place away from those Heartless guys. And trust me when we say this…" Skye says, before Knuckles finishes her thoughts.

"We have…A LOT to discuss." Knuckles simply says.
