Some Time Ago

"So what do we do about that Black Box?" Pete asked as he and Maleficent were hidden deep in Radiant Garden. "That Organization pirate has it."

"We will deal with them when the time is right. Besides, once the boy defeats them, we will take that black box for ourselves. I am curious to see what it truly holds."

"Ah, I get ya."

"That said, I have been sensing a world far from here." Maleficent looked into her scepter, seeing Sora having the time of his life. They would also see him sparring against Ruby. "Fascinating…" She said.

"That girl's got a scythe." Pete said, then seeing Ruby fire Crescent Rose. "…A gun scythe?"

"What is this world that he's in?" Maleficent wondered, seeing Sora then high five Ruby after a spar as they would see the rest of the Keyblade Wielders chatting it up with the locals.

"Whoa, that's a big burly fella right there." Pete said, seeing Sora chat it up with Bowser.

"Hmm… I suppose we should pay this world a visit."

"B-By ourselves?"

"No, you fool. We're going to get a group together."

"Ah! …But how are we going to do that? Most of our friends are dead."

Maleficent smirked. "Leave it all to me." She opened up a portal as the two of them walked in.

BGM: The Underworld (Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix)

"Here we are, the River Styx. I'm confident that we can get a few underlings here."

"Are you sure that's a good idea? Hades will be awfully sore… you know how he gets!"

Maleficent smirked. "Let him fume. There's nothing he can do about it." She said. "Now then, speaking of which, I will have to speak with him." She said and walked off.

"Oh sure, leave me here by my lonesome…" Pete grumbled as he pulled out a fishing pole and started to fish for souls. "Tum tum te tum~" He hummed.

Meanwhile…

"Okay, so that plan didn't go so well…" Hades grumbled. "Of course, the planets are no longer aligned, so you can kiss that idea goodbye."

"Lord Hades! LORD HADES!"

"Oi… now what?" Hades mumbled as he saw Pain and Panic running in. "What is it, boys? Let me guess, good ol' Wonder Boy decided to pay a visit?"

"No, worse!" Pain exclaimed.

"Zeus-y?"

"Worse than that!" Panic added.

"Who could be worse than Zeus?" Hades asked.

"I'm quite hurt that you think I'm all bad news…" A voice said as Hades spotted Maleficent walk in.

"Oh boy…" Hades pinched the bridge of his nose. "What do you want this time?"

"Can't an old acquaintance "catch up"?"

Hades sighed. "I'm almost afraid to ask…"

Back with Pete…

"Oh! I got a bite!" Pete reeled one up, revealing to be Jafar himself. "Oh, hello Jafar."

"Ugh, of all the people to bring me out, it's you." Jafar rolled his eyes. "But at long last, I am freed from this wretched river and I can lay waste to Agrabah and that street rat. And-"

Pete threw him back in. "Nope. He's had his time." He said as he got another bite and reeled up Shan-Yu. "Uh…"

"Freed at last. I will make that girl pay after making me explode and-"

"Nah, too weak." Pete threw Shan-Yu back in, then with another bite, he pulled out… a triangle. "Eh? This is a big chip…"

"Do I look like a chip to you!" Suddenly, it grew an eye.

"Ack!"

"Name's Bill Cipher, nice to meet ya! Now that I'm out of that river, I can get back at Stan Pines for ruining my-" Pete released him into the water. "AAAAH! WAIT WAIT WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIiiiiiii-" He disappeared into the river once more.

"The only good chip are the ones who don't talk back." Pete chuckled as he reeled up another one, only he snagged a cape instead and pulled out a supervillain. "Aww, it's just a kid."

"A kid?! I'll have you know that I'm more than that!"

"Uh-huh. What does the S stand for?"

"Syndrome! Now if you let me go, I'll get back at Mr. Incredible for throwing a car at my face!"

"…You do realize I'm holding you by the cape, right?"

"Uh oh…" Syndrome grimaced as Pete smirked and lowered him back into the river. "NO NO NO NO NOOOOO!"

"Never wear capes." Pete chuckled as he reeled up Clayton. "Hmm… aren't you the one who got beaten up by gorillas?"

"No, I got beaten up by a man-ape! …And a kid with the key!"

"Same difference." Pete dropped him back in. "My condolences for the kid with the key though!" He said, as he reeled another one up, this time being the Evil Queen. "Ew, it's just an old lady."

"Heheheh… you want an apple? Just one bite!"

"Pass." Pete dropped her in, and then reeled up an old man. "Aww, it's another old fart."

"I'm not just an old fart. I'm the famous explorer of all time. Charles Muntz! Why, I was about to kill that snipe when-"

"No one cares." Pete dropped him in and then pulled out Scar next. "Well well well, if it isn't good ol' Scar!"

"Rrrrgh… to be reeled up by you is humiliating, but whatever. I will go back to the Pride Lands and-"

"Sorry pal, but you already had your chance as a Heartless." Pete dropped him in. "You'd make more of a handsome throw rug if anything." He said and then reeled up another villain, this time a lionness. "Another lion? How many lions are there in the Pridelands?"

"Rrrgh… the Pridelands… it should've been mine!"

"Yeah uh, who are you?"

"Zira!"

"…Never heard of you!" Pete said, throwing her back into the river, and then pulled out Ursula instead.

"You got to be kidding me." Ursula deadpanned.

"Oh hello Ursula. How many times have you been revived now?"

"Plenty."

"Hmm… nah, in you go." Pete dunked her in, and then reeled up Gaston. "Ooooh, you look promising!" He swung the fishing rod behind him, where Gaston landed behind him on his back.

"Oooof!" He grunted.

"Let's see… anyone else…" Pete wondered as he went back to fishing, reeling out Mother Gothel. "Hmm?"

"I'm alive? Good… now where's Rapunzel? I need to-"

"Hate to break it to you, but Rapunzel had her hair chopped off." Pete dropped her back in. "Sheesh, I didn't think fishin' out people would be so difficult."

Back with Maleficent…

"RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"

BOOM!

"GET OUT!" Hades yelled. "I do NOT want to side with you and lose to that good for nothing Key boy ever again! Get out of my home before I sic Cerberus on you!" He slammed the door on her face as Maleficent walked out, smoldering.

"He took that better than I expected. I wonder how he's doing." Maleficent said, brushing some soot off and walked down to where Pete was at.

Once Maleficent made her way down, she would see Pete still fishing while Gaston was behind him. "Ah, I see you have brought someone out. State your name."

"I am Gaston, a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"You seem rather tough."

"Indeed." Gaston flexed. "I can lift pretty well-" Gaston picked up Pete.

"Aaaah! Hey!" Pete yelped as Gaston dropped him. "OOOF!"

"I can eat three dozen eggs without breaking a sweat… I was on the verge of killing the Beast but I had… run into a snag. Some guy in a black cloak did me in."

Pause BGM

"Heh, I have to say, you're pretty strong with the wind!" Gaston boasted to Xaldin, who had effortlessly blown away the angry mob that was hellbent on destroying the Beast. He pulled out his Blunderbuss and shot him, but Xaldin blocked with his spears.

"How annoying." Xaldin said, throwing a spear into Gaston which pierced into his chest.

"Hrrrrgh!"

Resume BGM

"You had an encounter with Organization XIII."

"Organization XIII? Pffft, real creative." Gaston rolled his eyes.

"Indeed… perhaps you will be quite useful." Maleficent said as Pete reeled up Frollo.

"…Oh, it's this guy." Gaston groaned.

"I have been resurrected!" Frollo exclaimed proudly, but Gaston grabbed a club he found on the ground and smacked him over the head to drop him into the river.

"Go back to your hellfire, you gypsy obsessed weirdo!" Gaston grumbled.

"So you've met." Pete said.

"Honestly, anyone would be annoyed by him and his… obsessions."

"How bad was he?" Pete asked.

"Trust me, you do not want to know." Gaston said as Pete reeled up Dr. Facilier shortly after.

"Hmm! He looks promising." Maleficent said.

"…Did one of you smack that judge over the head or something?" Facilier asked.

"Did you spot him with goose eggs? That was me." Gaston said.

"Finally… he wouldn't shut up about "judgement" and "God's fiery vengeance" or whatever. Don't get me started on his obsession over gypsies." Facilier was dropped down on the ground, dusting himself off.

End BGM

"Bum bum bum bum bum-"

Facilier groaned. "Great, just when I thought I could get away from them…" He mumbled as voodoo dolls and masks popped out of the River Styx.

"ARE YOU READY~!"

"What the devil?!" Gaston asked in surprise.

Maleficent slammed her scepter on the ground, catching their attention. "What is the meaning of this?" She asked.

"Let's just say I did some voodoo hullaballoo back in my time and… I had some friends on the other side that I owed a debt to."

Maleficent smirked. "Fascinating." She said. "Pay no attention to this fool. He is with me and if you must get to him, you will have to go through me." She would even transform into her dragon self and roared directly at the voodoo dolls and the masks before breathing fire at them, which shoved them into the opposite wall and they fell into the River Styx… only for them to come back up angrily.

"Wait a second, I got it!" Pete said. "How about you go bother someone else? I hear someone's been messing with magic and voodoo as well." He whispered, catching their attention as he whispered in their non-existent ears.

Inside the River Styx…

"I'll get that plump buffoon… he'll think twice before dumping me back into this river!" Bill said, glancing over at a KO'd Frollo floating by. "Oh good, I thought he'd never shut up. Nice goose egg, priest!"

Bum bum bum bum bum bum~

"Hmm?" Bill wondered as the voodoo masks and dolls surrounded Bill.

"ARE YOU READY~!"

"Ready to get out of here? Oh absolutely!" He said, but they dragged him down further into the river. "AAAH! HEY! WHAT DID I DO?! STOOOOOOOOP! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Good, his voice irritated me." Scar said.

Outside…

"That'll keep 'em busy." Pete said as Maleficent turned back to normal.

"Indeed." Maleficent turned to the duo. "Is this all that we have?"

"Yes. People who looked like they have potential." Pete said.

"This will have to do for now." Maleficent said, opening up a portal. "Now then, let us see where that boy is currently hiding." She said and walked through with the trio in tow.

BGM: Corrupted Dragon (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)

The portal opened up inside of a campground in Remnant. However, there was phazon everywhere. "Whoa! What's with this blue gunk?" Pete asked.

"Hmm… it seems to be highly radioactive." Maleficent mused as she saw that some of it was attempting to latch on to them, but she slammed her staff on the ground to make the phazon disperse around them.

"Freaky…" Gaston mused.

"This campground is most intriguing." Maleficent said as she turned around to see the tribesmen wallowing around and laying in the Phazon in agony. "Hmm…" She raised her staff in the air and fired a green fireball, where it shot up into the Phazon-filled forest and stayed put in the sky. "That will serve as a beacon. This campground intrigues me."

"What do we do now?" Facilier asked.

"I wish to learn more of this world. Come. I'm certain there's something of use." She said as they walked off, as the Phazon dispersed from them due to Maleficent's magic.

Some time later…

"Remnant, Aura, this whackadoodle named Salem…" Gaston said, looking through a pictured book in a library. "Semblances…"

"Hmm… I wonder what would happen if a Heartless were to steal a huntsman's aura." Maleficent mused. "What would it be like if they had semblances…"

"This is all fascinating." Facilier said.

"Hey fellas! Get a load of this!" Pete called out to them as they looked out the window to see the Star Cure dispelling the Phazon entirely.

End BGM

Gaston would turn his head to see the Phazon disappearing. "Well, how about that." He said.

"Intriguing…" Facilier mused.

Maleficent smirked. "Now then, let's go pay the campground a visit." She said, opening up a portal.

At the campground, the bandits got up and groaned, "What happened…?"

"I'm not sure what happened… that was weird."

"Hold together, now… we'll just have to wait for Raven for an answer." Vernal said, and then a portal opened up as they looked to see Maleficent and her crew walking out. "What the… who are you?!"

Maleficent smirked. "Kill them."

Later, in the present…

"I have to say, this castle is pretty smooth all things considered!" Pete said.

"Indeed. Though I do wonder if we will stick out like a sore thumb in the woods." Gaston mused.

"Nah, I'm sure ol' Maleficent won't care." Facilier said, hearing footsteps as they turned to see Maleficent walking through with Vernal, who was sporting a new look.

"I do not care if we are spotted or not." Maleficent said.

Vernal now had sickly pale skin, black hair with matching fleshy tendrils reaching down to the ground, and blank yellow eyes. She now wears an organic looking black bodysuit with the a large Heartless Emblem emblazoned on her chest, her hands were bare but have long serrated claws extending from her finger nails.

"How do you feel, Vernal?" Maleficent asked, not caring that Gaston and Pete were creeped out by her.

"I feel wonderful, mistress. I love this new look."

Facilier chuckled and then glanced over at Gaston and Pete. "What's with you two?"

"You're not creeped out by this?" Gaston asked.

"I've seen worse. Trust me."

"So, what now?" Vernal smirked.

"Simple. We plan… and figure out how we deal with these fools in this world." Maleficent explained.

Meanwhile, in Twilight Town…

"No, I'm telling ya, Roxas. There's something in front of the mansion!" Pence said.

"Let me guess, it's another "Wonder of Twilight Town"?" Roxas teased.

"No no no, this time, it's not complete bogus. There's something in front of the mansion."

"Yeah, and last time, there was someone in the mansion." Roxas said.

"Hey, to be fair, that was a data copy of the town. That doesn't count!"

Roxas rolled his eyes. "Riiiiight." He chuckled as they walked through the woods and then would spot a figure up front. "…Oh!"

"See? Told ya I wasn't going crazy!" Pence said as the two of them walked up to a woman, her face looking strikingly similar to Vernal, except that she had longer hair that went down to her waist.

Roxas knelt down, shaking her awake. "Hey, you okay?"

"Uuuungh…" She woke up, groaning. "My head…"

"You alright?"

"I… think so…"

"Do you know who you are?"

"I… I don't… know who I am…" She said. "I'm sorry, I wish I could tell you." She got up and tried to walk, but stumbled, however Roxas and Pence caught her, then Roxas brought out his Gummi Phone and called someone up.

"Hey Lea, it's me… you're gonna want to come look at this."

Ibuki: Ooooh, a Heartless and a Nobody version of Vernal... interesting!

Yup! This chapter in particular was suggested a long time ago... I think it was Yoshi who brought it up? It's been a while...
