Kyuranger: Hearts of the Stars

by Seanzilla1988

An ever looming darkness is about to swallow the universe, and Sora and co might not be able to handle it alone. Enter the 9 stars fated to protect the galaxy! Koi, Kyurangers! (Takes place around the beginning of KH 3, right after Twilight Town)

3. Star 3

SZ:...again, we gotta stop with the logn breaks for our other stories

GT: Yep. But we got lots of 'em, so...yeah.

Z0: I choose to ignore the self loathing thoughts…*pops an amnesia pill* What was we talkin' about?

SZ: Plus real life so...yeah…ahem! Anyway, let us finish this world off with a splash! But first...we do not own anything aside from original content, so..someone start us off!

GT: Okay! *pulls a lever and a mallet smashes the screen*

=Glomgold Industries. Take an idea...make it your own. Better, faster, cheaper! That is the motto of the universe's beloved Scottish millionaire duck; Flintheart Glomgold! Welcome new employees to Glomgold Industries, where our employees are the greatest treasure of all!= Glomgold's voice declared from a TV screen, the real Glomgold clapping as he watched.

"Glomgold! Glomgold! Glom…!" he chanted before seeing the crowd of three looking on in a deadpanned silence with Pete seemingly half-asleep before snorting awake, "...Fine. You're here because you're the best of the cheapest, and because I cut a deal with someone for the big guy. With your help, and my carefully crafted masterplan, we'll find the fabled Lost Jewel of Atlantis and it'll make me the richest duck in the universe!"

"Yeah yeah I know…" Pete muttered as he stood up, "Just don't forget about that 'package' my boss wants you to find."

"Aye...and the box for the big one," Glomgold rolled his eyes, "Unless I take it for myself…"

"Was that?" Pete blinked just hearing mumbling.

"Nothing!" Glomgold shouted, "Ugh...where is Duck and Goof!? I prepared that training video for everyone!"

"Just a minute," Donald spoke, poking his head out from the next room before closing the door, "What's Pete doing here?!" he hissed quietly to Goofy.

"Maybe he's looking for a new job. One with benefits, and a retirement package?" Goofy offered before shrugging, "Well either that or he's scheming something evil and we'll get sucked into it and inevitably it'll evolve into a crazy adventure for the sake of the world….Again."

"...Goofy, it's Pete. Of course he's always scheming something," Donald deadpanned.

"So...adventure?" Goofy asked with a smile.

"Ugh...Keep them busy. I need to make a call," Donald muttered, pulling out a Gummiphone as he dialed in something.

=Aye?= Scrooge's voice spoke from the other line.

"I wanted to remind you something about the boys. Bedtime is at 9, no sugar after 7, a-"

=Oh relax, Donald…=

---

"I run a multi-trillion dollar business. I can handle a few juveniles for the weekend. You just focus on this new side-job of yours. Besides..." Scrooge began as he looked out at the ocean, a few seagulls flying by as he stood within an opened hatch of a submarine, "We got a pretty low-key day planned."

"Oh boy! I get to discover another lost underwater city!" Lucky cheered, "I wonder how many this will make...boy I hope this one doesn't have hostile Atlanteans...like the last one…" he muttered jumping down the hatch just as Dewey poked out.

"Hoist the mast sails! Other boat words to Atlantis! Dive dive dive!"

"Aye aye!" Launchpad's voice called out as the sub began to submerge.

"Ack! No wait!" Scrooge yelped, quickly shutting the hatch just as the sub fully went into the water.

"This sucks…" Balance muttered, currently pumping some of the water out with Naga, Louie, and Webby just as Dewey and Scrooge climbed down a nearby ladder, the latter taking his hat off to get the water out of it, "We tried to go for treasure, and we end up as the pack mules…"

"I am reptilian in ancestry, not equine…" Naga replied, he then looked down at the pump, "And yes...it does suck. I believe that is its function."

"It's called annoyance, Naga."

"What's that like?"

"Anger...kinda…" Balance muttered.

"Hmm...Anger...Anger…" Naga muttered, "Ahahahahaha!" he laughed like a mad man, scaring everyone, "Was that correct?"

"Not even a little bit, buddy," Balance shook his head.

"Then I shall try harder to grasp...anger." Naga nodded, "What does one do when angry?"

"Wanna hurt someone," Balance shrugged, unsure how to respond.

"Like the little green duck?" Naga asked innocently.

"Wait, what?" Louie blinked at that before Scrooge tossed him the phone.

"Talk to your uncle," Scrooge muttered as he walked by.

"...Ok," he shrugged before answering, "Hey Uncle Donald….yeah pretty boring. We napped, rubbed ointment on our joints, old people stuff."

"What?! What about the dragon, the plane crash...Sora and the Hea-!" Webby began before Louie covered her mouth, "Mph!"

"Oh-it's-3-PM-time-for-dinner-bye!"

"...Why didn't you tell him the truth?" Webby asked once Louie hung up the phone.

"You didn't tell your grandma we were gonna head to a dangerous underwater city, did you?"

"...I uh...kinda...sorta didn't tell her...anything?" she sheepishly replied.

"Webby! That's irresponsible! She'll be worried sick!" Louie exclaimed.

"Maybe she'll understand if she t-" Sora began.

"Call your grandma this instant and tell her you're spending the night at a friend's house," he continued as he handed Webby the phone, "Lying. It's the responsible thing to do."

"That's even worse…" Sora sweatdropped.

"Not if you don't get caught in the lie," Balance argued.

"See? He gets it," Louie noted.

"It's what I do," Balance cheered.

---

"...Launchpad, have you ever piloted a sub before?" Scrooge cautiously asked, seeing Launchpad piloting the sub with Garu and Hammie nearby.

"I've sunk a helicopter in a wave pool once. Same thing?"

"I've done more with less," Scrooge sighed.

"It's okay! I got it!" Lucky smiled.

"You know how to pilot a Sub?" Scrooge asked.

"Nah...I don't have a license to pilot or drive. Things just kinda work out for me," Lucky smiled before looking out the portside window, "Ooh, whale!"

"It's a good thing we chained Champ down in the storage...don't want him trying to suplex a whale...again," Hammie sighed.

"...Not even gonna question it," Garu muttered.

"...No matter what happens, I am back!" Scrooge declared, "Uncharted territory, bold new discoveries…"

"Travel bingo!" Huey declared, startling the group as they turned to see him holding a few objects, "I love road trips! I got snacks, a playlist of traditional sea shanties, matching roadtrip shirts!"

"No...to all of that," Garu replied simply as Hammie slapped his arm.

"I appreciate the enthusiasm lad, but there's no time," Scrooge stated.

"But...according to the travel itinerary, w-" Huey began before Dewey took the paper from him and tore it up.

"Boo! Adventure isn't about planning, it's about doing!" Dewey argued before running up to the console, "So, what can I be in charge of? The Buster Arms?"

"The what? No."

"The Sonic cannons?"

"Eh?"

"The Hyper dense zero-point energy missiles that can pierces the scaley hide of a kraken!?"

"None of those things are real things!" Scrooge complained.

"We have those," Hammie replied.

"I shot them once!" Lucky smiled.

"Things went boom," Garu added.

"Ahem!" Scrooge cleared his throat, "This is supposed to be the kids' first expedition, so…" he paused as he patted Dewey's shoulder, "Just stand back and watch an old pro...from a safe distance."

"I question bringing kids on an adventure…" Garu muttered.

"I mean...we're kids," Sora motioned to him, Lucky, and Hammie.

"I mean...nevermind."

"...So what is this submarine equipped with anyway?" Dewey asked before Scrooge put him in one of the seats and strapped the seatbelt on him.

"Seatbelts," the old duck replied simply before walking off to a corner, sitting down to check the map.

"...Ha! Classic banter between the seasoned old explorer passing the torch to his cocky young successor," Dewey chuckled.

"I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually know our names," Huey argued.

"Think I heard him call the red one 'Hervert' once," Garu added.

"...D-Don't be ridiculous, you two," Dewey argued before looking over at Scrooge, "Hey, Scrooge. When are we gonna set sail, Scrooge?"

"In a minute, sonny-jim!" he replied as he took Lucky and Sora aside and began drawing a path in a map, using both boys to help somehow divine a path, "Leave it to luck manipulators to make this part easy…" he laughed.

"I think he's more interested in them two…" Garu noted to Dewey, making him slump further.

"...I will cram that shirt down your throat if you don't put it away," Dewey muttered, making Huey stop from offering a shirt to him before putting it away.

"Aw, I'll take one," Hammie offered.

"Guys, lighten up," Louie spoke as he and Webby walked in, "We're on a deep sea expedition...with Sora and Scrooge McDuck. That alone is awesome!"

"Amazing...a perfectly safe path," Scrooge smiled walking past them with Lucky, "You might just be useful yet lad!"

"Yosha!" Lucky cheered.

"Mr. McQuack, chart a course!" Scrooge declared, putting the map down next to Launchpad, "Next stop? The Lost City of Atlantis!"

"Whoo!" the kids and Launchpad cheered.

"In about 16 hours," Scrooge continued, making the triplets and Webby stop in their cheering.

"...Shantie time!" Huey beamed, pulling out a radio as he turned it on.

"No!" Garu snapped, taking the radio and chomping it in two with his jaw.

"Thank you…" Louie sighed.

"I guess this will be time to take some rest." Hammie sighed, walking to her seat and leaning back in it.

"Subs are...kinda slow." Lucky added, "It's not like we could take a plane that also works underwater…"

"...OUR GOD DAMN VOYAGERS!" Garu snapped as he realized their spaceships/Mecha components also work underwater before Scrooge's cane walloped him on the head.

"Children are present," Scrooge informed, "Be thankful ye also didn't try chaining me up and reading letters from me parents in a mocking tone."

"I think my Gummiship works underwater, too," Sora added, "...That is if it wasn't broken still…"

"Oops," Lucky chuckled, "Ah well, half the fun of the adventure is getting there. Then it's the wild crazy stuff. I've been on tons of long road trips between worlds."

"Wouldn't it be better if we took a shortcut?" Dewey spoke up, looking over to see the map, "In fact...maybe I c-"

"Ah ah ah," Scrooge spoke, shaking a finger, "The shortest distance between two points isn't always a straight line."

"...Well yeah, but...yes it is, so maybe if I…" Dewey began.

"Just trust me, lad...If we went the short way, we'd be dealing with the most dangerous of sea monsters and-if we are truly unlucky-the Leviathan herself."

"Leviathan?" Sora repeated, making Scrooge blink.

"...Leviathan? One of the Legendary Eidolons? Queen of the seas herself?" Scrooge asked, earning a blank stare from Sora, "...ugh...Didn't Donald or one of your new friends tell you anything about them...at all?"

"..."

"...Ugh. Nevermind then," Scrooge sighed, unaware of Dewey slipping out of his seat and changed the map a bit before slipping back into his seat.

"I guess we can rest up and prepare ourselves," Lucky sighed as he walked off...before stopping and turning to the side, "Uhm...Scrooge-Jiichan…" he pointed to a tentacle moving across the window.

"Yes, Lucky my boy?"

"We got a giant squid outside...and rabid merducks and…" Lucky began before squinting his eyes, "...I think a giant Heartless is swimming nearby."

"The blue one did it, didn't he…?" Garu spoke.

"Impossible. Sora, Lucky and I made sure to go through th-" Scrooge began before noticing the map, "...Dewey…"

"...The wolf did it."

"Why you no good little floofy haired...!" Garu growled as he grabbed Dewey in a headlock.

"Great...We're all gonna die," Louie sighed, "I knew Dewey would get us killed one day."

"Don't worry. I can tr-" Sora began before stopping, "...Wait… I need Donald's magic to breath underwater...shoot…." he muttered just as the sub shook, "Ahh!"

"Oh look...giant squid," Naga noted from the next room.

"Then we need to improvise!" Lucky spoke, "Launchpad...Crash us into the squid...and then into that rock formation!" he declared.

"You got it, Lucky!" Launchpad saluted.

"Wait, no!" Scrooge panicked.

"Too late!" Lucky and Launchpad cheered.

"Dewey, if we survive this...you are going to regret this," Louie promised.

"Hey! At least I made this adventure more exci-" Dewey began before the sub shook once more, causing everyone to nearly fall over as the tentacles seen out the windows moved away, "See? It's gone now...problem solved."

"There's still the possible giant Heartless swimming outside."

"...oh...right...Well it can't be that bad, can it?"

"Oh look...the Merducks are fleeing from the Kraken...in the form of a Heartless," Naga noted.

"...Naga buddy, do not even joke about that," Balance's voice spoke...followed by him screaming, "Kraken Heartless!"

"?!" Sora and the others tensed as they looked out the port window, seeing the shadowed figure of a giant Heartless swimming nearby.

"Champ?" Lucky called out.

=Launch me!= he laughed.

"...Forget it. We need something to distract it for now anyway," Scrooge sighed, "Laundpad, launch him."

=YES!= Champ bellowed before the sounds of chains breaking was hard =Always wanted to fight a Kraken! And I don't need no Medusa head either to beat it!=

"Fire!" Launchpad smirked, hitting a button as Champ was fired from the sub and into one of the tentacles.

Everyone blinked, watching him climb up to the shadowed main body of the monster. They could make out signs of struggle in the darkness of the ocean.

"...Is Champ gonna be okay?" Sora asked in concern.

"He'll be fine," Hammie assured, "He once took on three Behemoth Heartless by himself...and came out with a few dents and sparks."

"We'll just have to trust him!" Lucky smiled.

"Least we're safe...for now," Scrooge sighed before walking back to the map, "I swear you kids are gonna be the death of me."

"Dewey! Dewey is gonna be the death of you!" Dewey corrected before Garu bonked him on the head," Ow!"

"You don't get to complain!"

"This is seriously the coolest thing I've ever been a part of!" Webby beamed.

"I beg to differ!" Balance shouted as he and Naga poked their heads in, "No one said anything about dealing with giant Heartless!"

"It's all a part of adventure." Scrooge replied.

"We're not adventurers; we're thieves. We don't do a job unless we think we can get away with a big score!" Balance argued.

"Need I remind you two that you two tried to steal from me moneybin?" Scrooge argued simply.

"Yeah, but we thought you were a normal old geezer…" Balance argued.

"Aye...but here is my counter argument," Scrooge replied before he began bonking his cane on Balance's head, leaving a dent in the perfect shape of the part of his cane that hit, "That's for the 'old geezer' comment."

"Ow…"

"...Maybe we can make a...pit stop?" Naga offered, "The little red duck seems to want to go bad."

"It's true…" Huey muttered, trying to hold it in as he stood outside the bathroom door, "And can't use the bathroom...there's a Merduck in there."

"Oh don't be ridiculous…" Garu stated as he walked over and opened...before he was dragged in just as the door closed, "Ahh!"

"...We are in the middle of the ocean, lads. There's no 'pit stops' here," Scrooge sighed.

"What about that suspiciously unmarked tanker?" Launchpad spoke, pointing to a screen showing a ship.

"Yosha Lucky!" Lucky cheered.

"...This feels foreboding somehow," Hammie muttered, "...We may need to keep an eye out for its owner just in case."

"Oh no! Don't help me or anything!" Garu complained, "Ahh it bit me! That's it! Having Merduck sushi!"

---

"And here's me and the boys climbing the Grand Canyon...Soda display at the supermarket," Donald said, showing one of the mercenaries a few pictures of him and the triplets, "Ahh...I miss them so much."

"Phht," Pete scoffed at that from nearby.

"Aww don't be like that, Pete," Goofy stated, "I miss my boy Max everyday."

"Oh yeah? Well I ain't got nobody to worry about," Pete argued.

"You sure? What about PJ and your family?"

"?!" Pete tensed at that, "...D-Don't be ridiculous, Goof. I don't miss them at all."

"You sure? They seem to be missing you…" Goofy stated.

"Bah…" he waved it off.

"...Well, wh-" Goofy began before the ship's alarm went off, "?"

"We got intruders," one of the mercenaries spoke as they all approached a console, one of the monitors showing Scrooge's sub before changing to show Scrooge and Sora.

"Wh-?! Scrooge?! Sowa?! What are they doing here?!" Donald exclaimed.

"Strange weather patterns in a mysterious location near treasure? Heh...I knew McDuck couldn't resist…" Glomgold grinned, "And the Keyboy I've heard about...Oh he might prove useful, too…"

"You sure? That brat always seems to interfere with my plans," Pete argued.

"Aye, but what if we had him and McDuck do the hard part for us?" Glomgold argued, "That way we can retrieve the treasures of Atlantis, and steal the Heart of Atlantis out from under them."

"...Oh what have we…" Donald began with a whisper before Goofy poked his shoulder, making him look to turn before looking at what he was pointing at, the screen showing the triplets leaving the ship's bathroom "?! Huey, Dewey, and Louie! What are they doing with the boys?!"

"Now Donald...calm d-" Goofy began.

"I'M GONNA KILL THEM!" Donald shouted in anger.

"Ooh~! Better idea!" Glomgold grinned, "We nab the treasure and kill them all! Heh...somebody is angling for employees of the month."

"Me and my big mouth…" Donald sighed.

---

"The Drake Barrier Reef...powerful currents combined with rocky terrain make it nearly impossible to navigate," Scrooge explained, looking out the window, "But on that rare occasion when snow falls above the reef, the currents cool...allowing safe passage too…"

"They fell asleep…" Naga pointed out, pointing to most of the others sleeping with only Lucky and Balance awake.

"Are we there yet…?" Louie muttered in his sleep.

"I'm probably gonna pass out any second, too…" Balance sighed, "No sun to power me, yo."

"...Well if you let me finish, I can tell you that…" Scrooge began before the kids woke up and ran towards the window, seeing a large underwater city.

"Woah~!" the triplets and Webby awed.

"The lost city of Atlantis…" Huey whispered.

"...yes...good...it's Atlantis…" Scrooge muttered as he turned his head away, "Thanks for spoiling the moment…"

"...Should it be upside down?" Sora asked, yawning a bit as he woke up.

"Huh?" Scrooge blinked as he turned his head back towards the window, seeing the city was in truth upside down, "...Okay that is a new one."

"Good thing I packed tons of climbing gear!" Lucky smiled as he held up a backpack, which he opened and flipped upside down, and unleashed an impossible torrent of necessary hiking and rock wall climbing gear, "Can you believe some guy was just giving this stuff away on the docks?"

"...That seems way too coincidental," Hammie sweatdropped just as the sub surfaced, "But...who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth?"

"But there isn't a horse in here," Naga spoke.

"It's a saying, buddy…" Balance sighed before an idea popped into his head.

"...If you behave, then maybe you can have a cut of the treasure," Scrooge stated, noticing the look in Balance's optics.

"Well how can I say no to a deal like that!" Balance cheered before hopping out of the opened hatch, "To tr-I mean adventure!"

"Hey wait up!" Sora called out as he, Naga, and Lucky followed suit.

"Just stay close…" Scrooge informed as he and the others followed suit, Launchpad having some rope out as he began to tie the sub to a nearby piece of structure, "We don't know what types of traps are here."

"Yeah, yeah…" Louie nodded before noticing Webby cautiously looking at the phone, "...Just call your Grandma already. It's no big deal!"

"...Well…" Webby began before Louie hit the call button, making her panic as she nearly dropped the phone.

"Remember; you're at a friend's house. You got this," he encouraged.

=Hello?= Ms. Beakly's voice answered.

"Hi-granny-I'm-sleeping-at-a-friend's-house-nothing-is-wrong!" Webby exclaimed before hanging up.

"...Okay you don't got this…" Louie cringed.

"That was just bad." Balance noted.

"Really bad," Garu added.

"Mmm~" Webby slumped at that.

"You guys stink," Hammie spoke as she pushed all three away.

"Hmm…" Scrooge mummered, looking at a tablet with some markings on it, "Ahh...Here's the reason. See these markings, everyone?"

"Look like a bunch of scribbles if you ask me…" Garu muttered as he, Louie and Balance stood up.

"You'd think that, but it actually tells a bit of a story," Scrooge argued, "The Atlantians were so eager to build such an amazing city of wonders and death traps, it didn't stop them to think of a proper support structure and the whole thing fell into the sea."

"Ooh~ Interesting," Naga noted.

"And since it's all upside down, a lot of the traps won't work right," Hammie guessed.

"Aye. Good thinking, lass," Scrooge nodded, "Boys, you stay and watch the Sub. I'll scout ahead a-"

"Dewey ran ahead the moment you said 'death traps,'" Louie deadpanned.

"...That's the red one, right?" Scrooge asked.

"That's Huey," Sora corrected.

"Blue one who keeps making things worse…" Garu sighed.

"Come on, Scrooge! We got this!" Dewey's voice laughed.

"Boy!" Scrooge snapped as he stomped off, the others following after them, "Ugh...the energy in that one..."

Unaware to them, a black sub had just submerged, the hatch opening to reveal Glomgold and his crew, Donald, Goofy, and Pete. Glomgold gave a nod to a female mercenary, who nodded as she prepared to throw a dagger at one of the heroes.

"Uh oh…" Donald whispered before an idea popped into his head, "...Oopsie."

"Hmm?" the female mercenary blinked before Donald fell over on top of her, making her throw go off kilter as a few daggers missed hitting Launchpad, making him blink for a moment before shrugging it off.

"Whew...that was a cl-" Goof began before Donald was thrown off the female mercenary, who aimed her sword at him.

"You made me miss…!"

"...Uh…If we get rid of them now, we can't torture them later?" Donald offered.

"Brilliant idea," Glomgold noted "I want Scrooge alive just to see the look in his eyes when I shove not only the Jewel of Atlantis in his face, but the two Legendary Star Spheres of Atlantis as well!"

"The what?" Pete blinked.

"Legend says there are two spheres amongst Atlantis' treasures, depicting the snake and libra constellations," Glomgold explained, "...And I want them for myself so I can further rub my victory in Scrooge's smug face!"

"Interesting…" Pete muttered.

"Yup! He thinks he's so rich...so scottish…" Glomgold ranted, "Well unlike you McDuck, I'm wearing a kilt! A KILT!"

"What does wearing a kilt have to do with bein' more Scottish than someone?" Pete whispered, earning a shrug from Goofy.

---

"Mmm…" Dewey muttered as he sat on the floor, a disappointed frown on his face as Scrooge and the others ran into the room.

"Lad, you're okay," Scrooge sighed in relief

"Yeah...whoopie," Dewey muttered, a sarcastic tone in his voice as he pointed at some moving saws on the ceiling, "Stupid upside down temple…"

"The lassie over here did point out that because it's upside down, some traps wouldn't work like they were meant to," Scrooge pointed out.

"Most traps are triggered on the ground," Hammie added, "So...you'd have to actually try and set them off...and that would be...stupid."

"Unbelievably so…" Scrooge agreed, "And from now on, lad...don't. Touch. Anything."

"Grr…" Dewey muttered as the others walked past him, the young duck kicking a small pebble away into the wall...which bounced off and hit a panel on the 'ceiling', activating it as a panel opened up.

"...God d-" Garu began before a large pile of snakes fell on top of him and Launchpad, "Gah!"

"Well that happened," Hammie noted, blinking a few times with wide eyes.

"...ugh. Maybe Atlantis was an ambitious first outing," Scrooge sighed as Sora and Lucky hurried to get the snakes off of Launchpad and Garu.

"You guys okay?" Sora asked once he and Lucky helped them up.

"Yeah. A little snake venom ne...n...ne…" Launchpad slurred out, covered in bite marks with parts of him swollen before he slumped, making Huey blink before touching him, "Hi, nice to meet you! I'm everybody's friend!"

"I can't feel the oxygen!" Garu shouted, also swollen in parts.

"Seems these snakes have a hallucinogen in their venom," Naga noted, holding up one snake, "It's not fatal, since their bodies are more like constrictors."

"Well as long as it's not fatal…" Hammie noted, "They look strong enough to pull through."

"I smell treasure this way!" Balance shouted, trying to push a rock that was blocking an entryway with Scrooge.

"Come on, lad, put yer servos into it!" Scrooge encouraged with each push they gave.

---

"...Follow my lead," Donald whispered to Goofy, the duck noticing a crack in the wall big enough for them to fit in, "Hey, uh...excuse us."

"Yes?" Glomgold spoke as he, Pete, and the mercenaries looked at Donald.

"Me and Goofy have to uh...use the bathroom. We'll be right back," Donald stated before pulling Goofy away as the two squeezed through the crack.

"...Hmm...those two are up t' somethin'," Pete muttered in suspicion, '...Better send some Heartless after them just in case.'

---

"Uh...My friend's name?" Webby asked, back on the phone with Ms. Beakley, "...Uh...Sub...Ina. A totally real name for a definitely real person," she answered before hanging up, "How was that?"

"..." Louie facepalmed, "Subina?"

"I wanted to go with Submarina, but I felt that would give her red flags."

"...Least you're improving sorta…"

"Grr...Goisu!" Balance shouted once he and Scrooge moved the rock out of the way, "We're clear!"

"Nice going, lad," Scrooge nodded as he and Balance walked in, Dewey, Sora and Lucky following behind them as they entered a room with a narrow pathway covered in blue lasers.

"Woah...suspension bridge, large chasm, glowing blue mystical lasers? Classic!" Dewey beamed, the four unaware of Donald and Goofy entering the room from below.

"D'oh...Wait until I get my hands on Scrooge and Sowa," Donald muttered, rolling up his sleeves, "What's Sowa even doing here? I told him to wait near Radiant Garden until we got back."

"Do ya think Scrooge got Sora to come since his Keyblade can unlock any lock?" Goofy asked.

"...Okay, that might be a reason," Donald replied as, above them, Dewey began to walk towards the lasers when Scrooge stopped him with the handle of his cane and pulled him back.

"Even a basic death trap has the word 'death' in the title," Scrooge scolded before poking his cane into the beams.

Suddenly, a geyser of flames spewed from a hole on the ground below. The flames grazed Donald's tail feathers and split upon hitting the stone pathway. No one above them heard Donald screaming in pain as he ran around, trying to pat the flames out. Once he did, he looked up to see the others up there...standing before the lasers.

"Oh no…" Donald gulped.

"And just my luck...me without my fire proof wax…" Balance sighed, "Gonna scuff up my armor something nasty…"

"...We'll have to find another way around," Scrooge sighed, "Too dangerous for amature adventurers."

"Getting around those lasers would take some thinking…" Balance spoke, "Probably safer to find an easy path for the short ones. Also one that doesn't mess up my sheen...I spent a whole day to get this shine and polishing gold exo-armor is a pain~"

"On the gold part, we can agr-" Scrooge began.

"Hey guys!" Lucky called out, making the two look over...and gawk to see Sora and Lucky on the other side.

"HOW?!"

"Flowmotion/I stepped over each one," Sora and Lucky replied in unison.

"See, they can do it!" Dewey cheered.

"Ugh…" Balance sighed as he climbed down and seemed to jump down, only for everyone to blink as long golden cables came out of his arms and wrapped around the bridge as he swung himself from below to avoid the laser triggers, "Making me do effort...This place better have something worth taking…" he grumbled as he swung himself up and over to stand next to Lucky and Sora.

"...uh...Balance?" Sora spoke.

"Yes?" Balance asked before looking over his shoulder...seeing Naga holding onto him, "...Okay...when and how?"

"Just as you were swinging across and while you weren't looking."

"How are the others?" Lucky asked.

"Hammie's shinobi training meant she knew a remedy to help those who were bitten to help them recover mental ability faster." Naga explained, "She and the girl duck known as Webby are currently treating them, while the Red duckling is collecting rock samples, and the green one is spending time on his phone watching cat videos."

"...Since they can do it, I accept this challenge!" Dewey declared.

"I have to stress this isn't a challenge," Scrooge pointed out.

"Which is exactly what you'd say to dissuade those with weak of heart from accepting said challenge!" Dewey argued, "Well...Challenge accepted!"

"Again, not a challenge," Scrooge repeated.

"...Goofy, get your shield," Donald ordered as he watched Dewey jumped over the first laser.

"Hmm?" Goofy blinked before looking up to see Dewey dancing across the bridge, "...Oh dear."

Dewey began to sing his own name as he passed through the lasers nonchalantly, making Donald and Goofy block some of the rising flames, unaware of some Soldier Heartless trying to sneak up on the two. But each time they tried to get close...some of the flames immediately evaporated them and released the hearts trapped within them. At the end of it all, the two had to jump onto Goofy's shield since Dewey's foot was still on the last laser as he finished crossing.

"Nailed it!" Dewey cheered.

"So what will he do?" Balance pondered as Scrooge tipped his hat...and jumped off, "What?!"

In his fall, Scrooge reached out with his cane and the hook end caught a vine under it. He slid along under the bridge and made a quick spin, causing him to shoot up and land behind everyone with a smirk.

"...Sure. If you want to do it the easy way," Dewey muttered.

"Why wouldn't you want to do it the easy way? You've got to work smarter, lad, not harder," Scrooge stated, "That's what Sora and th-"

"Tch. Lad?" Dewey repeated, "I don't call you 'old man' or 'Scottie McTophat.'"

"Oi…" Balance sighed, knowing where this was going, "Family drama…" he reached up and tapped the sides of his head, "And mute my ears…"

"Calm down, Dewey. I'm sure Ms. McDuck…"

"Butt out of this, Sora! In fact…" Dewey began as he pointed an accusing finger at Scrooge, his foot still on the beam, "I'm not even on an adventure right now with Scrooge Mcduck, I'm on an adventure behind him. Wanting to wait by the sub...I might as well be back at the houseboat or Radiant Garden!"

"Because you have no idea on what you're doing!" Scrooge argued.

"Then show me! Give me a chance rather than lumping us all together in the backseat while you drive!" Dewey snapped, "In fact, you give Sora and Lucky more attention than all three of us!"

"No I don't!"

"Oh really? Which triplet am I?"

"I….er….Bluey?"

"..." Dewey said nothing as he walked past them, Donald and Goofy moving off the now burning hot shield as a large pillar of flame shot up, burning part of the bridge up as it fell over to the other side just as the others arrived.

"Oh fantastic…" Scrooge sighed, "You see what I'm talking about?" he looked over at the others, "You all find another way around! We're going to…" he paused as Balance tapped his shoulder, "Oh what now?" he pointed to Dewey...who was climbing downwards, "...We're going to push on apparently."

"Looks like," Sora muttered as he and the other three began to follow.

"Ugh...That blue one is lucky I'm not over there…" Garu muttered.

"Least w-"

"Why, this is no bathroom!"

"?" Hammie raised a brow as she looked down, seeing Glomgold and his group entering the room.

"This is a shortcut that leads right to the treasure chamber!" Glomgold beamed, "I don't even know why I hired the rest of you. Help him and Goof up! The sooner I find the Jewel of Atlantis and the Star Spheres, the better I can rub it in Scroogie's face."

"Star Spheres?" Hammie whispered to herself, pondering that over before her eyes widening, "Kyutama…"

"Que what?" Huey asked.,

"Something we can't let that fat old duck take," Hammie answered, making sure to keep quiet as Pete and the female mercenary dragged Goofy and Donald, "We need to follow them and keep a distance."

"Is that Uncle Donald?" Huey blinked.

"I'm gonna go after them," Hammie spoke as she leaned forward, balancing on her hands before flipping forward...and landing on the ground below in such a way she made no sound. After a few moments, the teenage girl...vanished into thin air.

"...Okay. She is officially the coolest girl I've ever met," Webby whispered in awe.

"I shtill taste purple…" Launchpad slurred a bit.

---

"Maybe I could just hire some family, then they'd have to listen to me," Scrooge muttered as they followed Dewey.

"But then you wouldn't experience important moments together with them," Sora argued.

"Important moments?" Scrooge asked.

"I don't have much family…" Lucky spoke up, "But I like to think of all the friends I made across the cosmos as my family. I remember all their names and faces so well, and the moments we shared. In a sense, family is people you love spending time with."

"And while you may end up teaching them something, they in turn can teach you things you never knew," Sora added, putting a hand over his heart, "I've learned from quite a bit of people I've met in my journey...and I'll never forget the lessons they taught me...because they're all important friends to me."

"You boys are oddly wise for your youth…" Scrooge muttered in awe.

"Balance...What is a Family?" Naga asked.

"Hmm...Eh, my family isn't much...We always moved around from planet to planet...I got tired of that and split from em. Now I go where I want, when I want, and collect any treasure that strikes my fancy." Balance explained, "Eh, now that I say it...they weren't much of a family. I don't need them, just you partner."

"So...does that mean that we...are family?" Naga asked.

"You're more family than the ones who made me...so yeah! We're family, Naga!" Balance laughed.

"...Family…" Naga spoke, his lips curling ever so slightly without his own notice, for the first time, Naga did it right, he smiled. Though how...he didn't know and it didn't last long as his attention was grabbed when they all suddenly stopped.

"Woah…" Dewey whispered as he stopped.

"Everything okay, lad?" Scrooge asked as he and the others walked over...and saw a large room filled with various treasures with a large hand holding a large red jewel.

"That's a lot of treasure…" Sora whispered.

"..." Balance began to give off wheezy gasps of excitement upon seeing all that treasure and everyone swore they heard a cash register ringing coming from him.

"He does that when he sees large amounts of gold…" Naga explained, "Mr. McDuck's heart rate is also quickening rapidly. I believe they both have some odd mental condition in relation to gold. I am not a medical expert...but I call it...Gold Fever."

"...We're not alone," Lucky spoke, making everyone blink a bit.

"Hahaha...There she is…!" Glomgold's voice laughed, making them look down to see Glomgold and his crew walking into the treasure room, the old fat duck rushing to the large red jewel in the middle before plucking it from its resting place, "The Jewel of Atlantis!"

"Who's that?" Dewey quietly asked.

"Flintheart Glomgold, the poor man's version of me," Scrooge answered, "...Which to be fair, still makes him insanely rich."

"Okay...now where is.." Glomgold began before noticing a small black box large enough to fit one or two objects in it, "There it is!"

"Hey...That's probably the box I…" Pete began before Glomgold ran over to the box, "Hey! Don't open that!"

"I just want to see what's in it," Glomgold argued, putting the jewel down as he opened the box, revealing a pair of Kyutama with the constellations of Libra and Ophiuchus in them, "I knew it...The Legendary Star Spheres of Atlantis, too! Ha! Eat yer heart out, McDuck!"

"If it was that easy...probably not what we're looking for…" Pete muttered to himself, "But those thingamajigs give me an annoying sense of Deja vu…Whatever. Just hand them and the box over and I'll be on my way."

"...Mmm….no," Glomgold stated as he closed the box, "If Maleficent wanted this box so badly, she could've come and gotten it herself…"

"?!" Sora's eyes widened at that.

"Hey! We had a deal, you old coot!" Pete snapped before the female mercenary aimed her sword at his neck, "?!"

"I altered the deal, fatso. Pray I don't alter it any further," Glomgold smirked.

"...Wait," Dewey whispered when he saw Donald and Goofy, "They got Uncle Donald and Mr. Goofy, too."

"What?" Scrooge asked in shock.

"Donald? Goofy?" Sora also spoke in concern.

"Hold it, lads. We need t-" Scrooge began before Sora, Dewey, and Lucky slide down a slope of gold, "...ignore my plan completely...ugh. Come on, you two."

"Ok," Naga replied as the three followed after the trio.

"Hey!" Dewey shouted, earning Glomgold's attention as he turned to see the young duckling, "Let go of my uncle and his friend."

"...No."

"...Okay. I was not prepared for that," Dewey whispered just as Sora and Lucky slid down next to him.

"Let's try that again. Hand over the good guys, and we promise we'll only slightly kick your butts," Lucky smiled.

"Which...I think we can handle. I mean...you're just three guys and Pete," Sora smirked, summoning his Keyblade.

"Wait, but…" Glomgold began.

"We don't count the old guy who can't fight," all three responded.

"...Oh you three think you're clever. But wait…" Glomgold began as he snapped his fingers, summoning a large group of Large Body and minotaur-like Heartless, "I have a retort."

"Wait for it…" Lucky said simply.

"Wait for what?" Glomgold blinked.

"No no...give it a minute." Lucky looked down as he eyed a trail of gold coins being disturbed as if something was moving through them, "And...Yosha Lucky!" he cheered as Scrooge jumped out and used his cane to trip Glomgold and pin him down.

"What are you doing here, Flinty?" Scrooge asked.

"What are you doing here?!" Donald demanded as he shot up, "I thought I told you to watch the boys and keep them safe! And you…!" he pointed at Sora next, "I thought I told you to wait near Radiant Garden until me and Goofy came back!"

"A lot of things happened!" Sora defended.

"That'd be me!" Lucky waved to Donald, "I'm Lucky!"

"Yes...it's both his name...and his gimmick," Scrooge spoke up before Donald could ask, "Think a likeable version of your Cousin."

"...Okay, fair point," Donald muttered, "...Wait. Where are Huey and Louie?"

"Safe in the room with the fire and the snakes."

"WHAT?!"

"Uh guys...The Heartless aren't moving," Goofy spoke up, "Did someone cast Stop?"

"That was me," Naga spoke up, poking out from behind one of the frozen Heartless, "Hello. I'm Naga...the one swimming in the gold behind me is Balance."

"It's taken years of practice to learn this, so don't try it at home!" Balance joked, poking his head out from a mound of gold, "...No, really. It took me years."

"...Ahem! I see you met my two new employees, Scrooge," Glomgold spoke.

"What?" Scrooge blinked before glaring at Donald and Goofy, "Your new job is with my sworn enemy!?"

"I can't keep track of all your sworn enemies!" Donald argued.

"He more or less drafted me," Goofy pointed out.

"He double crossed me!" Pete complained.

"Now, now, Donald and Goof have been model employees...and excellent prisoners," Glomgold chuckled as the two yelped when swords and knives were held to their necks.

"Hiring my own nephew and his friend just to use them against me?" Scrooge frowned, "...Okay. That is good planning."

"Well...hope you'll enjoy the fact you'll be the second richest duck in the universe...for the next five minutes," Glomgold smirked as he walked off, carrying both the box and Jewel of Atlantis in both arms as he and his mercs walked off, "If the Heartless don't get ya...the water sure will."

"What was that about water?" Balance asked, poking his head out of the gold once more upon hearing that.

"Simple; yer gonna drown…" Glomgold answered as he and his mercs stood in the doorway, "Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to present my treasure to the world!" he laughed as the female mercenary tossed a sai at a panel on the roof, causing water to flood into the room.

Just as Glomgold turned around to walk out, the two Kyutama slid out of his pocket and vanished into the air. The evil duck was none the wiser as he walked out just as the openings closed. Everyone blinked before Hammie sighed and became visible again.

"You know...boys suck at stealth…" she sighed, looking at them with her hands on her hips, "You guys made everything happen so fast I only had time to take the Kyutama."

"Hammie!" Sora beamed.

"You know her?" Donald asked.

"A new friend I made like Lucky," Sora replied.

"I'm also the superior here, and don't you forget it," Hammie sighed, "It's nice to meet you, Donald and Goofy." she bowed, "You three however...why did you do that?" she looked at Dewey, Sora and Lucky, "You knuckleheads just made the situation so much worse. I was gonna free Donald and Goofy and sneak them out, then lock Glomgold in here."

"But we…"

"Who said you could talk?" Hammie crossed her arms, making the three stand at attention, "But...since we are short on time...Lucky, you and Sora deal with the Heartless while Naga has them pinned. Mr. McDuck, can you find us a way out of here? I'm a shinobi...not a fish."

"Of course, lass."

---

"See? There's always another way," Huey beamed as he hopped off the broken end of the rope bridge onto the lower level.

"Good idea, kid," Garu noted before licking one of the planks, "Ech. These are not good tasting steak bones…"

"It's amazing how the same kind of snake venom produces two different results," Huey noted, "Garu hallucinates and Launchpad…" he looked up to see him hanging upside down, his foot tangled up in some rope, "...Yeah..."

"Yeah…" Louie agreed before hearing the phone go off, Webby hopping down in time to answer, "?! no no no…!"

"Oh look! Uncle Hampis is here and he only speaks Spanish and Uncle Beo is trying out the new dishes!" Webby answered, making Louie facepalm, "We don't want to be rude, so...goodbye?"

"And you're done…" Louie shook his head, "Yeah, you're never gonna back up that lie because...heh heh. Hooboy that was crazy…"

"Ahh…!" Launchpad screamed as he fell down...before shooting up and taking the phone before speaking in Swedish, "Åh, hej, Beakley! Subina har berättat så mycket om dig, över fiskbullar (Oh, hi, Beakley! Subina has told me so much about you, over fish balls)!"

"...Okay but you still can't prove th-"

"These pig snouts are as hard as a rock! Who cooked them?!" Garu complained, chewing on a piece of rubble.

"...I've got to stop opening my beak…" Louie muttered as they hung up the phone just before they heard laughter and looked to see Glomgold and his group emerge who noticed them.

"Take them down," Glomgold ordered.

"Oj då (Uh-oh)," Launchpad summarized it best.

---

"Okay, our best bet is to stop the water!" Dewey noted.

"Donald, do ya have yer wand to cast a freezing spell?" Goofy asked.

"No, I left it locked in the safe on the boat since I didn't think there'd be trouble at a job interview," Donald replied as he ran over to an opening pouring water into the room, grabbed a large amount of gold, and shoved it into the opening...only for the pressure to blast it back into his face, "RRRAAAAAGH!" he snapped, jumping in place and shaking a fist at everything around him...until his behind got stuck in the opening, "Oh no…"

"Fighting...in...water...is not easy!" Shishi Red spoke as he was pulled back underwater by the Heartless, the sounds of laser fire heard as the water bubbled before he rose back up, "I got it!" a hand grabbed his shoulder and yanked him down, "I don't got it!"

"I got you, buddy!" Sora shouted, diving down to assist.

"Grr...I knew it! I knew I couldn't trust you with the boys!" Donald snapped at Scrooge, having to block smaller leaks that popped up around him.

"Is now really the time?" Scrooge argued.

"Yes. The room is flooding rather fast," Naga added, Balance trying to save as much of the treasure as possible, "Balance doesn't rust...or breath...so he shall survive."

"Crazy old man. All you care about is the next adventure!" Donald shouted, "This is the Spear of Selene all over again!"

"I was not responsible for the Spear of Selene!" Scrooge snapped.

"Spear of Selene?" Hammie repeated.

"Stop!" Dewey called, floating by on an empty treasure chest, "Scrooge was trying to keep me out of trouble, but I was so caught up in the-why is there a lamp on the floor?"

"What?" Donald blinked twice.

"Oh, right! This place is upside down!" Hammie recalled, "What Glomgold took was the gem that was on the roof if this place was right-side up."

"Then...that would mean…" Dewey began.

"Atta boy, lad. Keep it going," Scrooge encouraged with an impressed smile forming.

"It'd mean that all this treasure was supposed to surround that blue gem and not the red one," Dewey went on, "And the only reason the treasure would surround something like that is because…"

"That's the real Jewel of Atlantis!" both Dewey and Scrooge exclaimed in unison as Scrooge jumped into the water and began to paddle the treasure chest over to Donald.

"And I bet my bottom dollar that the jewel also powers the city," Scrooge added.

"I saved as much gold as I can!" Balance shouted, holding up a large bag of treasure over his head...before a Large Body jumped out and 'ate' it, "..."

"...Well that happened," Goofy noted.

"Uncle Donald, you have to let the room flood so I can grab the jewel," Dewey told Donald.

"Wak?! That's crazy!" donald argued, "I'm supposed to what? Let go? Trust you?"

"Well...yeah. That's kinda all you can do," Dewey answered, "...huh. This is a surprisingly insightful death trap."

"...Goofy, help me," Donald ordered, letting go of the leaks he was plugging up.

"You got it!" Goofy replied as he grabbed Donald's arms and planted his feet on the wall, "And a one, and a two, and a three!"

With that, he tugged hard and pulled Donald out of the hole. Goofy grinned before yelping when a Large Body grabbed him and pulled him underwater as Donald swam over to the treasure chest Scrooge and Dewey were with. Once the water was at a high enough level, the three reached up for the jewel and began to tug at it, using as much strength as they could before they finally pulled it out just as the entire room filled with water. Within a moment, the water began to drain out of the room. Everyone within-minus Balance-held their breath until the entire room was void of water, letting them all gasp out for air.

"Okay...that was close," Sora panted, only a few Heartless remaining in the room.

"BAH!" Pete gasped out, shooting up as he coughed up some water, "Don't forget I-ack ack!-I am in here, too…!"

"...Oh yeah. Kinda forgot about him," ShishiRed muttered.

"!? D'oh! Why you…!" Pete growled before whistling, causing the remaining Heartless to start melding together, forming into a larger Heartless seemingly based on a robotic lobster, its claws razor sharp as dark-blue lines glowed on its armored body, "Ooh, a new one!"

"Tch...Not now of all times…" Hammie whispered as she quickly transformed.

"Heh heh...Later, losers!" Pete laughed as a portal of darkness opened behind him, "Get rid of those twerps, Depth Slicer!" he ordered as he ran into the portal just as it closed.

"He is all kinds of jerk…" Chameleon Green grunted.

"Move!" Scrooge shouted just as the Depth Slicer raised its claw up, causing everyone to move just as it slammed it on the ground. It then raised its head up, firing a beam of pressurized water at ShishiRed and Sora, the two quickly moving out of the way.

"Fire!" the two shouted as they fired a pair of fireballs at it...only to bounce off its body, "..."

"...Well...That's not good," ShishiRed noted.

"...uh...Naga, buddy?" Balance spoke, earning his partner's attention, "Can't you freeze it in place long enough for us to escape?"

"Hmm? Um...I don't think I can…" Naga answered, "I think it's shell is magic-proof."

"Ah, that explains it," Scrooge noted, "Then we'll need to figure out a way to crack its shell."

"And Champ's still out distracting that giant Heartless outside…" Chameleon Green muttered, "...The one time we need his strength…"

"Hmm…" Scrooge looked up at where the Jewel of Atlantis had been resting and then at the Depth Slicer, "Got an idea." he grabbed Balance and Naga, "I'll need you two and Sora for it."

"Eh?" Balance asked.

"Sora, lad, over here," Scrooge called.

"What's up?" Sora asked.

"When these two…" he motioned to Naga and Balance, "...get him…" he pointed at the Depth Slicer and then at the hand above them, "...under that, hit that with a Fire or your Keyblade. We'll be using an old classic discovered by Newton himself for this."

"Wait...you want us to fight that thing?!" Balance freaked.

"Of course, lad."

"Um...I'd hate to point out the obvious, but Naga and I can't do any of the things you guys do!"

"...Maybe you can," ShishiRed whispered, earning the group's attention, "Hammie, do you have any spare Seiza Blasters on you?"

"Eh?" Chameleon green blinked at that, "...Wait. Are you trying to say…"

"Yup! I think we found our next two Kyurangers!"

"Beg pardon?" Naga blinked at that.

"Kyu-what-now?" Goofy blinked.

"These," Scrooge replied, holding up the Kyutama.

"Eh?!" Chameleon Green gawked, patting herself, "How did…? When did…?"

"Smarter than the smarties and tougher than the toughies," Scrooge chuckled, "But, Lucky lad, do you really think these will work for those two?"

"Of course I do," ShishiRed answered, "I believe in Naga and Balance...I know they'll pull through for us."

"...You really have that much faith in us, even if we just met not too long ago," Balance noted, "How do you know I wasn't gonna just ditch you?"

"Cause you'd never leave Naga," ShishiRed countered, "You act all tough, Balance...but the truth is, you're really nice."

"It is true...he really is nice," Naga admitted, "We are partners afterall."

"...I...well…" Balance whispered, taking that info in as he began to ponder it over, "...d'oh, fine...just hand me that thing."

"Sweet!" ShishiRed beamed as Balance took the Libra Kyutama while Naga took the Ophiuchus Kyutama, "Hammie?"

"...You better be right about this," Chameleon Green sighed, reaching behind her back as she pulled out two Seiza Blasters and tossed them at Balance and Naga, "Catch!"

"?!" Balance flinched as he fumbled a bit in catching his while Naga caught his okay.

"Better hurry," Dewey gulped as ShishiRed was grabbed by the Heartless and slammed repeatedly on the floor, "I don't think they can handle it much longer."

"But how do we use them?" Naga asked.

"Just do what Lucky and Hammie did a-woah!" Sora yelped, being grabbed by the other claw and was rapidly slammed onto the floor with ShishRed, "Just say Star Change!"

"Star Change," Naga stated, "...Now what?"

"..." Balance and Scrooge facepalmed.

"Lad, just watch Balance and then copy what he does for this," Scrooge ordered.

"First twist, then insert, tilt forward, then flip the little handle thingy making it into a trigger, aim and shoot, then say it," Balance explained.

"Shoot at what?" Naga asked.

"Anything!" they all complained.

"The logic seems...off."

"Dude, just aim and shoot at the dude you're fighting if you want logic," Dewey replied.

"Oh~ Okay," Naga nodded as he and Balance twisted and inserted their respective Kyutama.

=Libra/Ophiuchus Kyutama! Seiza Change!=

"Star Change," the two declared as they pulled back on the trigger, the images of the constellations on their Kyutama formed in front of them before sliding back and over them, forming into suits over their bodies.

Naga's suit formed around him and was colored in Silver. Unlike Red and Green, his suit had a notable scale pattern all along its sides of his torso and down his legs. With his sleeves made up entirely of this scale pattern. His helmet's visor was made up of a cobra-like snake, the head and its hood forming on the forehead of his helmet, while it's tail curved around to form his visor before handing down around his mouthguard.

Balance's suit however...was much different. It seemed to have melded with his natural armor. His ranger form looked entirely armored in a darker shade of gold armor. He had all the same features as the other Kyurangers, a black star on his chest with a color matching sphere with his constellation in the center, his helmet had the image of a scale with its base intersecting with his large visor, and unlike the other Kyurangers and somewhat like OushiBlack...he lacked lips on his mouthguard instead having a grilled mouthguard.

"It worked!" Green awed.

"Yosha Lucky!" Red shouted.

"Silent Star...Hebitsukai Silver!" Silver declared, running his fingers across his visor.

"Trick Star!" Gold began, holding up his hands as they crackled with electricity, "Tenbin Gold!" he finished as he saluted with his right hand, before flicking his fingers forward.

"Gold and Silver! What amazing treasure!" Red laughed.

"Ahh!" Sora screamed as he and ShishiRed were slammed against one another by the Depth Slicer, which roared out before turning its attention at the two new Kyurangers.

"Right...what do we do now?" Gold asked.

"Now I fight?" Silver asked.

"Oh right...Naga...sick 'em," Gold ordered.

Silver turned around as his eyes flashed behind his visor. He pulled out the Kyu The Weapon. He took the handle and unfolded the blue secondary handle as it lengthened into a rod. He held it by the main handle normally and took the upper blade and plugged it to the body with the blade twisting around as it turned into a scythe.

=KYU SICKLE!=

Silver ran forward before he swung up and slashed the Depth Slicer across the side, making it cry in pain and drop Red and Sora. Silver jumped as he planted his feet against a wall, before pushing off and slashing the Depth Slicer again. Silver skid across the mounds of gold as he struck his sickle into the ground and used it to twist around as he glared at the monster.

"Naga's actually scary good at fighting." Gold laughed, "His entire race are masters of combat and, once upon a time, were assassins."

"Assa-?! Just what did you get mixed up in, Sowa!?" Donald exclaimed.

"We'll explain...later," Sora grunted as he and ShishiRed stood up.

"To be clear, my kind are not such things anymore. We forsaked violence since forsaking emotions. But we still fight to protect our world, our skills and power to stop enemies, make us the least invaded world in the galaxy." Silver explained, his eyes flashing as he stopped the Depth Slicer in place, "Please attack in unison. Alone we can not best the beast. Only together with coordinated strikes can we end this."

"And then w-" Gold began before yelping just as the Depth Slicer fired pressurized at at him, causing him to flinch as he brought his arms up...inadvertently summoning a dome that deflected the water back at the Heartless, making it hiss out as it staggered, "...Did I just cast Reflect?"

"I think you did," Goofy replied.

"Hurry and get it under the stone hand above us!" Scrooge called, "Sora, the moment that's under the hand, cast Fire on the base."

"Got it!" Sora nodded.

"Come on, ya stupid lobster! I'll throw you into a bubbling pot and make gumbo outta ya!" Gold taunted, "Then, since I can't eat it, I'll have Naga eat it and get his opinion on how it tastes!"

"But you can't cook," Silver noted.

"I'm making fun of it to make it mad and chase me into a trap," Gold argued.

"Oh~ Right then," Silver nodded before ducking under a claw swipe from the Depth Slicer.

As the two kept doing hit and runs on it, the Depth Slicer was lured underneath the stone hand. Scrooge nodded and Sora quickly fired a Fire spell at the base of the hand on the 'ceiling,' breaking it off and sending it crashing down on the Depth Slicer. A loud 'CRACK' erupted from the impact and the Depth Strider let out a cry as the armor on its back shattered along with the stone hand.

"How did you know that it'd break?" Sora asked.

"Simple physics, Sora," Scrooge replied, "The pointer finger, due to either the city falling upside down or from an earthquake, was broken enough to form a point. With the speed of the fall, that point made the perfect pick to break the shell. Nice work, boys! Now time to finish off this Heartless!"

"Yosha!" ShishiRed exclaimed.

"Goisu!" TenbinGold cheered, "Let me try!" He pulled out the parts for the Kyu The Weapon, as he built up a sword like Red's. He lifted it up, only to struggle to hold the large weapon above his head as his arms shook, "This...thing's kinda heavy…" he grumbled as he swung down and lost his-ironically enough-balance.

"Perhaps you should try a different configuration," Green advised.

"No, no, I can handle it...If a lanky teenager can swing this around...a techno-organic life form like me should...too…" Gold struggled as he lifted the sword up and swung it back...only to fall over and almost impale Donald, "...Maybe a different mode…" he chuckled.

"Grr…" Donald muttered, his hat splitting down in two, "Try a crossbow!"

"A crossbow?" he blinked.

Gold took his weapon apart as he looked at the front of the handle and realized it had a tiny barrel that doubled as a connector. He took the axe blade and locked it in place on the front of the weapon, making it into the image of a crossbow.

"...Okay yeah. This feels right," Gold muttered

"These things are creative." Red laughed, looking at his own sword, "Yosh! Let's test his luck!" he pointed at the Heartless.

With that, the four Kyurangers walked forward. Red and Green removed their Kyutama from their Seiza Blasters, as Gold and Silver copied them, all four docked them to their weapons, making the Kyutama light up.

=GALAXY=

"Regulus…" ShishiRed raised his sword as the blade began glowing red, and sparking with fire.

"Hamilion…" ChameleonGreen began as the blade of her rapier began glowing with green energy as she held it in a reverse grip.

"Ophiuchus…" HebitsukaiSilver added as the blade of his sickle began glowing with silver energy and growing out into the shape of a snake fang.

"Libra…" Gold laughed as he aimed his crossbow as the barrel flashed and formed two spinning crosshairs.

"Impact!" all four shouted as Red, Green and Silver swung and fired out crescent shaped blades of energy which all clashed and merged together, Gold waited before aiming at the center of the three pronged slash attack, he pulled and fired a large golden arrow as it pierced the three blades into a six pointed star, which shot through the air and through the Depth Slicer.

The monster froze in place before falling apart, cut into six different pieces which slowly fell apart before exploding, multiple hearts flying out of the smoke as they faded away.

"...That….was...AWESOME!" Dewey exclaimed in pure excitement.

"I could come to enjoy this." Gold admitted.

"Same…" Silver added.

"Least we beat the Heartless," Sora noted...before Donald whacked him upside the head, "Ow!"

"You have a lot of explaining to do once we escape," Donald frowned.

"I missed you, too…" Sora muttered, rubbing the back of his head.

"Aww shucks, we missed you, too!" Goofy smiled.

---

"Ahh! Get her off!" the female mercenary screamed, Webby pulling at her while standing on top of her shoulder.

"You call yourself a wolf?" Garu scoffed, jumping back from an axe swing from one of the wolf mercenaries before kicking him back, "I've seen pups tougher than you!" he growled, tackling them both over.

"Oh yeah...Those guys…" Donald muttered as he and the others walked in, seeing the fight happen as Launchpad knocked over one of the male mercenaries in his delirious state, "...Wait. Huey and Louie…!"

"Got him!" Huey shouted, throwing a spare shirt over the other male mercenary as he bound his arms together, making him struggled before Louie tripped him over.

"...Are doing okay," Donald noted with an impressed smile.

"Not bad for little ducks!" Red laughed.

"The Ducklings are more useful than one would expect," Silver nodded.

"Well duh. It's gonna take more than a bunch of idiots to beat us," Dewey stated

"Ahh!" the female mercenary grunted as Webby knocked her over. She was about to reach for her sword before Green put a hand on her arm, "Gh!"

"You did good, Webby...but the most important thing of taking down someone taller…" Green began as she flipped her over, slamming her head first into the ground, "Make sure they hit their head hard."

"Oh~ Got it!"

"...Wait. Where's Glomgold?" Scrooge asked before one of the mercenaries' comms went off.

=Hey team…= Glomgold's voice spoke when one of the male mercenaries answered =Just wanted to thank you for keeping Scrooge's kin and lackeys busy while I made my escape with the jewel and blow up Atlantis...with not just my most hated rival inside, but my business partner's most hated thorns in her side=

"Business pa...MALEFICENT!" Donald exclaimed.

"But...I thought employees were the greatest treasure of all!?" the male mercenary who had answered exclaimed in shock.

=Don't be ridiculous! Treasure is the greatest treasure of all! That's why it's called treasure! Glomgold out!=

"Does he not know the red gem is Kraken bait?" Silver asked as he pointed to a wall, "See...Kraken bait." he pointed at some writing.

"You understand the Atlantean writing?" Scrooge asked, "Well, I would have asked earlier but I never considered anyone being able to understand the writing. You just keep surprising me, laddie."

"It is similar to my own kind's ancient writing…" Silver explained, "Also this is not the first Atlantis or deep sea civilization city we have plundered."

"I'm cursed!" Gold laughed, "Hahaha...but only curses that bother pure organics."

"...Why d-" Sora began before an explosion went off outside, causing the area to rumble.

"We have to go!" Scrooge reminded as the group hurried out of there and rushed back to their sub.

"Mr. Duck…" Donald stopped to see the female mercenary and her cohorts looking at him, "...Could we, uh, bum a ride with you?"

"...Hurry along," Scrooge replied.

"I'm calling my Voyager," Red spoke, fiddling with his Seiza Blaster.

"Voyager…?" Donald and Goofy asked before the water erupted as Shishi Voyager appeared.

"Those of us with Kyutama and monster fighting powers, into the cargo pit!" Red ordered as a hatch under the Voyager opened and a rope ladder fell out.

"Ladies first!" Green called out as she and the other Kyurangers hurried up the rope, Sora following after.

"...What have we missed?" Donald and Goofy asked each other.

"...You know that was some quick thinking, lad," Scrooge said to Dewey once they were in the sub, "You just may be an adventurer yet...Dewey."

"Aye aye...settle down. Settle down," Glomgold told some reporters, the 'Jewel of Atlantis' resting on a podium beside him, "Ladies and gentlemen of the press, it is with great pride that I, Flintheart Glomgold present the…" he began before a large splash went off behind him, "?!"

"The Jewel of Atlantis!" Scrooge called out once he opened the hatch of the surfacing sub, the real Jewel of Atlantis beside him as Shishi Voyager stopped next to the sub.

"WHAT?!" Glomgold snapped in disbelief.

"That ship is really fast," Donald muttered, climbing out of the sub next.

"Before any of you ask..." Scrooge began as he hopped down, holding the Jewel of Atlantis under his arm as the reporters began to ask him many questions, "This is indeed the real Jewel of Atlantis, an efficient clean source of energy that could power Duckburg for Fifty years, courtesy of your friends at McDuck Water and Electric."

"...Oh yeah?! Well I have th-" Glomgold began as he reached into his pocket, only to blink when he felt it was empty, "...Wait. Where are the Star Spheres of Atlantis?! I just had them in my pocket!"

"Yo," Balance replied, holding up the Libra Kyutama, "Imma making a backup of this memory since I really like how your face looks."

"...Wait. Then what is that jewel Glomgold claims is th-" one female reporter began.

"Simple. It's Kraken bait," Naga answered.

"NO IT'S NOT!" Glomgold snapped, "I found the real jewel first, you pathetic ex-what's that mooing sound?"

=Moo~!= Champ screamed as he shot out of the water, falling down really fast as he crashed into the docks, propelling Glomgold high into the air and into the distance.

"Champ?" Hammie asked, jumping over to the crater formed by their Robotic friend.

=I held it back...then...it got bigger...like really big…= Champ groaned =I don't think I'll be able to get up anytime soon...too much water in my joints…=

"...Oh the Kraken Heartless…" Sora realized before the group noticed something giant beginning to surface from the ocean, giving a loud roar as it surfaced.

The Heartless in question was indeed a monster of the deep. However, it seemed to have changed drastically. It looked more akin to a horrible amalgamation of multiple sea creatures into one titan of the deep. Two long crab-like legs slammed onto the ground to anchor it in place, it's almost human like torso, covered in thick shell armor with the Heartless symbol decorating the center of its chest. It swung out two massive arms ending in four clawed fingers as a mass of armored tentacles rose up from behind the creature, growing from its lower back like tails. The exoskeletal armor opened as its head peered out, revealing four dull eyes that looked around before petting at the gem Glomgold dropped. It leaned down and opened its jaw to roar once more, revealing rows upon rows of razor sharp teeth.

"...That's a big fish…" Garu muttered.

"Really big…" the triplets and Webby gulped, hiding behind Launchpad...who was hiding behind Goofy.

"I know what to do!" Lucky shouted, "We'll fight it with KyurenOh!"

"Kyuwhat?" Balance asked.

"Yosha! We even have two guys to help make a new form!" Lucky beamed, patting Naga and Balance on their backs.

"What's huh?" Dewey asked.

"Giant robot," Garu sighed.

"Oh…GIANT ROBOT?!" Huey, Dewey, and Louie exclaimed in excitement.

"Yosha...Ikuze!" Lucky ordered, holding up his arm with his Seiza Blaster, "Star Change!"

"Star Change!" Hammie, Garu, Balance and Naga all called out as they joined him.

"Push to the left!" Red explained to Silver and Gold as they followed his lead.

=SEIZA GO! SHISHI! CHAMELEON! OKAMI! TENBIN! HEBITSUKAI! VOYAGER!=

Shishi Voyager roared as Okami and Chameleon Voyager flew down from the sky. However, suddenly the ground began to tremble before out of the ocean rose two new Voyagers. The first looked like the top half of a balance scale while the second looked like the head of a cobra. The Kyurangers all fired a beam of light from their Seiza Blasters as the cockpits formed around them. Red, Blue, and Green docked to their Voyager much the same as before. But something different happened when Gold and Silver docked to theirs...the Voyagers began to unfold and transformed into short humanoid robots.

"Whoa...what the?" Green asked.

"OI!? Why do they get fighting robot modes?!" Blue complained.

"Awesome!" Red cheered.

"Goisu...I could get used to this!" Gold laughed.

"Interesting...so this and this...does that…" Silver spoke as his Voyager began taking several fighting stances, "This is so...Exciting!" he shouted in a tone that sounded like pure rage.

"Wrong emotion…" Gold laughed.

"I will get this right one day," Silver promised in his normal neutral tone.

"...We better clear out of the way," Sora advised.

"Good idea, lad," Scrooge agreed before looking at the crowd, "Alright, people! Clear out fast! This is about to get ugly all due to Glomgold bringing Kraken Bait with him!"

"Attack!" Red ordered as Shishi Voyager unleashed a barrage of missiles.

"Naga, go for the legs!" Gold shouted.

"Push it away from the town," Silver nodded.

"Yeah...that's what I meant!" Gold laughed.

Tenbin and Hebitsukai Voyager ran up and grabbed at the two legs the Kraken used to anchor itself to the shore. Their Voyagers grabbed and lifted, slowly pushing the monster off balance and backwards. The Kraken looked up and roared just as Shishi Voyager crashed into its face and knocked it back, sending it back into the water as it resulted in a large splash.

The Kraken began to get up and began to swing its arms at Shishi Voyager, only to miss each time. It reared its right back only for its arm to stop mid swing. It turned around before Chameleon Voyager became visible once again, its tongue wrapped around the Kraken's wrist. The Kraken roared as its tentacles rose up to try and snag the voyager, only to be stopped as Okami Voyager jumped and began tearing with its claws and fangs, ripping apart tentacle after tentacle. The Kraken roared, only to be blasted by another barrage of missiles from Shishi Voyager.

"Let's join in the fun, Naga!" Gold cheered as Tenbin Voyager grabbed several tentacles.

"I see your plan," Silver nodded as Hebitsukai Voyager did the same.

The two humanoid Voyagers began jumping and flying around in multiple looping patterns until all of the Kraken's tentacles were now tied into a giant knot. The two Voyagers landed on the docks before high-fiving one another. The Kraken roared in anger as it glared at the two.

"Balance...I believe I've discovered a weapons system within our Voyagers," Silver spoke, "Look."

"An energy cannon?" Gold asked, "Goisu! I have a perfect name for it!"

"Perfect name?"

At that, the two Voyagers transformed again as their bodies tilted back, and the cockpits were pushed forward and rotated. The tops of the Kyutama cockpits began glowing as they focused gold and silver energy into them.

"Happy Splash!" Gold cheered as both Voyagers unleashed powerful blasts of energy which struck the Kraken, making it cry in pain as the beams left burn marks on its shell.

"Yes, it is a perfect name, Balance," Silver nodded.

"Alright! Time for the Gattai!" Red cheered, "Tilt to the right!" he cheered as they all tilted their Kyutama on their Seiza Blaster to the right.

=SEIZA DOCKING!=

With that, Shishi Voyager flew up as the other Voyagers flew up after it. The two side sections flipped around to reveal the arm connectors, Hebitsukai Voyager docked to the right arm slot, and Tenbin Voyager to the left arm slot. The Rockets stopped as Chameleon Voyager attached to the right leg slot, and Okami Voyager to the left leg slot.

=KYURENOH!=

"Oh, neat!" Red beamed.

"That was trippy~" Gold chuckled.

"Interesting," Silver noted as KyurenOh's new right arm lifted up and chomped a few times.

"Let's take it down!" Red ordered, moving the controls as their mecha marched forward and into the water.

"Me first!" Gold cheered.

KyurenOh lifted its left arm as it punched forward and launched the two shields like yoyo's. They struck the Kraken and began spinning against its torso like saws cutting into its armor. KyurenOh called the shields back before closing up the distance and swinging with it's left and struck the giant Heartless across the face once with its foreswing, and again with its backswing. The Kraken roared, only to grunt as KyurenOh punched its right as the Hebitsukai Voyager arm opened and bit down on the Kraken Heartless's head, with great effort it began swinging the Kraken around before tossing it aside and down into the shallows of the water. As the Kraken began pushing itself up it was blindsided by a left kick as the Okami Voyagers claws slashed apart its armor. Just as KyurenOh prepared another strike, one of the Kraken's remaining tentacles grabbed onto it, making it 'grunt' as it tried to free its arm before a slash from the Kraken's claw sent it staggering back, some sparks coming off it.

"Gh...Even with a few tentacles, it's still a pain…" Blue muttered before the Kraken slashed at KyurenOh once more, "Gah!"

"Don't worry! We st-" Red began before another tentacle bound KyurenOh's other arm, "..ah sp-ahh!"

"Guys!" Sora called out, seeing the Kraken taking over the battle as it slashed at KyurenOh, "There has to be something I can do to help…"

=But..you d-bbzt!-have a Voyager…= Champ grunted.

"I know, but...there has to be something!" Sora argued.

"...Maybe there is a way you can help, lad," Scrooge spoke, earning Sora's attention, "Huey, Dewey, Louie, do any of you still have the Medusa Gauntlet?"

"Wrapped up," Louie replied, holding up said gauntlet wrapped up in one of Huey's trip shirts.

"Good. Give it to Sora."

"Huh?" Sora blinked.

"Much like the legend, Perseus defeated the Kraken using the head of the gorgon Medusa," Scrooge explained, "However, for this situation...replace the Kraken with a Heartless and Medusa's head with the gauntlet."

"But how would Sora even get up there to use it?" Goofy asked.

"The Gummiship probably could," Donald offered, making Sora tense a bit, "...Sowa…"

"Not the time, Donald," Scrooge stated, looking around before noticing a speedboat nearby, "...Champ, how much strength do you have left in you?"

=I got...enough for one good swing of my right arm!= he grunted lifting said arm up =Gonna have to aim me, though...my back has locked up 'cause of the salt water…=

"Good enough. One good throw is all we need."

"Gh!" Gold grunted as KyurenOh staggered back from another slash of the Kraken's claws, its arms still bound by its tentacles, "Okay...this thing outright sucks."

"Can't break free…" Green grunted, trying to help move KyurenOh's limbs.

"To the left," Sora spoke as Goofy moved Champ to the right, Scrooge standing at the front of the speedboat as Donald drove it, "My left, Goofy."

"Right now?" Goofy asked.

"Not yet, lad...not yet…" Scrooge whispered, waiting for the right moment as the Kraken prepared to reel its arm back for another slash, "NOW!"

=MOO!-!-!= Champ swung his arm as he tossed Sora with all his strength.

"I hope this works…!" Sora grunted, quickly slipping the Medusa Gauntlet on as he shot past the Kraken's arm, landing on top of its head.

The Kraken soon noticed the new pest and began attempting to swat it off before Sora slammed the Medusa Gauntlet on its face, causing it to tense as its body began to stiffen up. Slowly but surely, parts of its body began to turn to stone, the Heartless roaring out as the tentacles that bound KyurenOh's arms petrified.

"Sora?!" Blue and Green shouted.

"Yosha Lucky!" Red cheered.

"Alright, guys! He's all yours!" Sora shouted, hopping off the Kraken's head as he landed back in the speedboat just as it was passing by.

"That kid is crazy...and yet I can't hate him," Gold admitted.

"Yosh! Let's finish this!" Red shouted excitedly as KyurenOh moved its arms, breaking the petrified tentacles that bound it.

The Kraken roared out, all but its head and neck completely solidified in stone as it attempted to lunge at Kyurenoh...only to stop as the effects of the Medusa Gauntlet reached its neck and started covering its head. With this chance, the Kyurangers pushed back on the Kyutama twice before aiming their Seiza Blasters at the monster.

=SUPER GALAXY!=

"KyurenOh...TRICK BREAK!" they all shouted, pulling the trigger.

KyurenOh aimed and fired the Hebitsukai arm as it extended on a long arm and bit into the Kraken. With a great deal of effort, the robot lifted and raised the petrified beast into the sky before letting go, letting it drop back down. Energy began to pool from the five cockpits into the Tenbin arm, the twin shields glowing with energy as small blades extended along the sides. With a final grunt, the five pilots made KyurenOh swing its left arm up as it fired both shields like yoyo's once more. They crashed into the Kraken while spinning, cutting into its body and slowly cracking it. The cracks glowed and spread all over its body before finally the beast exploded in a blast of dust and darkness, a giant heart floating from within the debris as it began to fade away. The beast's stone remains fell into the sea around KyurenOh as it lowered its arm in a sign of victory.

"...That was so cool~!" the triplets and Webby exclaimed in awe and excitement.

"This was th-" Webby began.

"Ahem!" Webby tensed, slowly turning to see Mrs. Beakley standing not too far from them, "Webby...Uncle Hampis."

"...How long have you've known?" Louie asked.

"The whole time."

"...Granny, I can explain…" Webby sighed as she approached her, holding her head down in shame.

"...Dear, you are safer in a sunken city with Scrooge McDuck than you are locked in a vault in Fort Knox," Beakley stated, making Webby look up in surprise before she hugged her, "No more lies, and you can go with him whenever you like."

"D'aww~ That was sweet," Goofy noted once the Speedboat stopped near what remained of the docks.

"..." Donald took notice of this before looking at Huey, Dewey, and Louie for a moment before looking at Scrooge, "Hey."

"Now Donald, don't..." Scrooge began.

"Stop…" Donald sighed, "I'll admit, I'm a little overprotective."

"A little?" Dewey repeated as the triplets approached.

"No matter what I do, these boys will always get into trouble. Whether I'm watching them or when I'm away helping Sora or The King," Donald continued, "So maybe...you can teach them how to get out of trouble."

"Uncle Donald?" Huey blinked.

"So if it's okay when I can, I'll come visit them every once in a while," Donald finished, kneeling down to hug the three triplets, "And I know they'll be in safe hands."

"Aw~" Sora replied to that, before an explosion went off, making everyone turn to see Donald's houseboat on fire.

"...Ooh~ I may have left the engine running," Dewey admitted with a cringe as nearly everyone looked at him.

"I have some spare rooms for the boys," Scrooge smiled.

"...good," Donald smiled a bit, "...Now then…"

"Uh oh…" Sora gulped as the duck turned his attention to him.

"Donald, I'm sure he might have a reason," Goofy spoke.

"Oh I'm sure…" Donald frowned, raising his hand up as he caught his magic staff, "Now then, Sowa...What happened to the Gummi Ship while we were gone?"

"It's...intact...for the most part." Sora laughed, "On the bright side...I got friends with ships that are just as good," he pointed to KyurenOh as it stood over them, "I actually think it's an improvement."

"Yosha Lucky!" Red cheered, jumping out as the five Kyurangers landed on the ground and changed back to normal.

"...You're avoiding the question," Donald frowned further.

"...Uh…" Sora nervously began.

=I may have s-BZZT!-suplexed it back when we first met= Champ answered, making Sora tense up.

"..."

"...Champ, why?!" Sora screamed as he ran off, narrowly avoiding a Thunder Spell from Donald.

"I knew leaving you alone with the Gummi Ship was a bad idea!" Donald snapped as he chased after Sora, casting Thunder after Thunder each time as he squaked in rage with Goofy following after him to try and calm the duck down.

"How was I supposed to know he'd suplex it?!"

"...That seems like an unhealthy amount of rage," Naga noted.

"You have no idea," the triplets sighed.

"I feel we won't be getting anywhere with him," Balance spoke as he held his arm up and fired off his cables which tied around Donald, "Come along, Ducky guy...We got places to be, bad guys to rob of loot, and a galaxy to save I bet."

"What do you mean rob?" Sora asked.

"Nothin'..." Balance laughed as he pulled out a wallet and took out Glomgold's ID before flicking it away into the ocean, "Hehehe...dumb-dumb put the code for all his cards in here, too."

"We are gonna drain his bank account, aren't we?" Naga asked as they walked off, dragging Donald with them against his will.

"We wouldn't be thieves if we didn't!" Balance laughed.

"They are gonna take some reining in…" Hammie muttered in annoyance.

"Ah let them be...as long as it's not me they are stealing from anymore," Scrooge laughed, "Besides, I bet ol' Flinty has his hands tied right now."

"...aaaaaaAAAH!" Glomgold screamed as he crashed into his office, causing a lot of paintings of him to fall to the floor. After a few moments, he shot up and snapped in anger, "Gaaaaah~! Curse you, McDuck! I finally had you a-"

"Hey you!" Glomgold turned to see Pete stomping into the room, "You have a lot of nerve double crossing me back there!"

"Oh yeah?! Well your boss should've provided me better Heartless to end Scrooge a-" Glomgold began before a tall, pale-green skinned woman walked in behind Pete, dressed in black and purple robes while a horned crown adorned her head, "Ahahahahaha...Maleficent...fancy seeing you…"

"You worthless greedy little slob…" she frowned, tapping the butt of her golden staff on the floor as dark-emerald green and black flames burst from behind her, "I gave you a simple task, and you attempt to backstab me by keeping the box I seek for yourself?"

"N-n-n-n-no I wasn't!" Glomgold defended, laughing nervously as he pulled out the box that had kept the two Kyutama in, "H-here it is! I wanted to present it to you personally, milady…"

"...That is not the box I seek," Maleficent scowled.

"Eh?" Glomgold blinked before yelping when the box was incinerated into ashes.

"I figured as much...All it had were these two little thingamajigs…" Pete began.

"Kyutama…" a new voice spoke, earning their attention. They turned to the door as a man stood there. He was dressed in all to familiar looking black robes, his face hidden behind a hood that seemed to project a shadow so no one could see his face from any angle, "Powerful items that can harness the very galaxy's energy." he held up an orange Kyutama with a scorpion on it, "In a sense...an alternate path for good to fight evil."

"...Is that so?" Maleficent noted, "...Interesting…Perhaps you get to live, Glomgold..."

"Phew…"

"...For now."

"...ulp," Glomgold guled at that.

"As for you…" she turned to the man, "Who may I address you as?"

"You may call me…" he began as an orange scorpion tail slithered out from under his robes, "Stinger…"

SZ: And with that, two new Kyurangers have joined the group and Donald and Goofy are back with Sora...but it seems Maleficent and Pete might have gained a new ally of their own.

Z0: Things are about to get intense…

SZ: Indeed...anyways, preview time!

GT: Yep. So 'till next time, please Read and Review!

Journal Entries

Flintheart Glomgold: Scrooge's main rival in Duckberg. Though he says that he's Scottish, he's actually South African and merely says he's Scottish in an effort to out-do Scrooge. He says the company motto is 'employees are the greatest treasure of all,' but he won't hesitate to doublecross any business partners and sacrifice his employees just to get a leg up on Scrooge.

Balance/Tenbin Gold: One half of the intergalactic thieves, Kaito BN, stealing from the rich in order to give to the poor. He is a techno-organic mechanical organism. Constructed in the Tenbin System, Balance was "born" on March 26th 300 years before joining the Kyurangers

Naga Ray/ebitsukai Silver: From the Hebitsukai System, Naga Ray's people eschewed emotions, but he is on a mission to have emotions, unlike his people. He is a thief, a partner to Balance. He mostly carries himself in a neutral demeanor, speaking in a monotonous voice. Due to his inexperience with feelings, Naga will often use the wrong emotion when he tries expressing feeling (such as amusement when he should feel anger, or rage instead of excitement). Aged 21, Naga was born on February 10th.

Depth Slicer: A Heartless based upon ancient Atlantean defenses. Its armor is tough enough that it took using an improvised pick through a stone hand and gravity to break it.

The Kraken: A Heartless that resides within one of the greatest defenses for the lost city and is as massive as Chernabog! It uses tentacles to bind its opponent. It doesn't like the Medusa Gauntlet or being turned to stone.
