Hey Everybody, I have returned with a new chapter for you all. This time, the group is going to be heading to Hollow Bastion, where they will meet up with Leon and the others.
So, I hope you are all enjoying the story so far, it makes me happy to see you all happy. So for this story, I can feel my energy coming back, that is the exact feeling I/ did when I was doing Ultimate Leid...I am going to hopefully see this story right to the end.
Now shall I do another story along with this one? Maybe, but I need to think it over a little bit.
Question, what name do you all prefer? Hollow Bastion, or Radiant Garden? I prefer the former….there's just something unique in the name...Hollow...Bastion...
To KnightSpark: We will, I promise, I'm not going to have them vanish till the end.
To RonaldM40196867: Thank you, Gummi is good, Yen Sid is amazing, Damn right they are dangerous, Alright, I'm still deciding which one to do, I want to do the Sakura Wars one, and I want to do the Steven Universe one, but I don't know where it should start at...Idk.
To IAML3G3ND: I took it down because I saw that people just wanted me to go to the Land of Dragons, sorry that you didn't get to see it before I took it down...sorry.
To Bia1230: Thanks.
To Kegato: Daw, thanks :) And yes, the Coliseum will still be visited.
To Drake G. Reaper: Hmmm, maybe.
To Gry25: Right :). I still need to go over it, I mean Kingdom Hearts characters have much higher durability than some RWBY characters, so I don't know if they would need auras.
To Guest: Eventually.
To Gamelover41592: Thanks.
To thor3000: Oh, thanks. That's interesting information and trivia.
Kingdom Hearts belongs to Tetsuya Nomura, Shinji Hashimotot, Disney, and Square Enix.

World Lane
"This is so cool!" Ruby said with stars in her eyes as she was now inside the ship, the place was decked out with lots of chairs, buttons, and other interesting things, Ruby had to resist touching all the buttons.
"I have never seen anything like this before," Jaune said as he looked out the window. "Look, there's the tower!" He said, making Ruby, Sun, and the others run towards the window to see. "Huh...that's a nice-looking town right there."
"Yep, that's called Twilight Town!" Said a high-pitched voice from somewhere.
"What the?" Oswald asked.
"Hey, I know that voice!" Goofy said with a grin on his own.
"Yeppers," another voice said. "It's your favorite Gummi Ship engineers at the helm."
"Chip," the one voice said.
"And Dale!" the other voice said. "Happy flying, everybody!" They both said in unison as the feed cut off now.
Sun raised an eyebrow. "I don't think I ever met anyone with a voice that high before…" He said.
"Well, you meet something new each day." Jaune shrugged his shoulders. But still...just look at this!" He said as he looked out the window in amazement. "This is amazing!" He said with a grin, looking at all the stars and other places out there.
"What?" Sora said as he looked at the monitor, he got everyone's attention. "Only one?" He asked with surprise.
"One what?" Ruby asked.
"I only see one world on the monitor...what the heck?" He asked.
"How close is it?" Donald asked him. Sora looked again.
"We're almost there...I wonder what it'll be." Goofy said. Donald nodded his head in agreement. As they all traveled, Jaune and the newcomer all looked on still, Jaune in particular was thinking of something.
"Just wait you guys, we are going to find you...I promise." He thought.
As Ruby was looking out, she had begun to think of what Yen Sid had told them, about not letting darkness linger in their hearts. And it made her curious….how many people have that happened to them? And more importantly...why hasn't any Heartless ever appeared before in Remnant? It just didn't make any sense.
Sun was sitting down with his arms crossed and thinking to himself. Who were these organization guys...and what did they want with his friends?
"Hey, we are getting to our destination!" Sora said as the others immediately snapped out of their thoughts and focused on what was in front of them. The world was getting closer and closer and closer. On the upside, the area looked to be of a purple scheme and it looked like a town and a castle too. "Hey...that world looks familiar...is it?" He asked.
"Is it what?" Sun asked before Sora had the ship take off super fast.
Hollow Bastion/Marketplace
Sora and his companions beamed down from the Gummi ship and landed on the ground, everyone took a good look at their surroundings to see that they were in some sort of marketplace. Sora looked at a large castle from above and realized the area they were in.
"Guys, we're in Hollow Bastion!" He exclaimed, and everyone looked.
"Hollow….Bastion?" Oswald asked with a raised eyebrow.
Goofy looked around. "Gwarsh, it seems kinda different now." He said with keen interest.
Jaune and the others took a look around and were intrigued by the area, this was the first time they have ever been outside of their home...heck even outside of all of REMNANT! So this was….very exciting.
"Oh!" Ruby said as her eyes turned to stars. "This is the first time I have ever been outside of home, Oh this is so exciting and-"
"Ruby, calm down," Jaune said to her. "But I agree...this is so cool!" He said with a smile on his face.
"Everyone, look!" Ortensia said, all of them followed to where she was pointing at, and it appeared to be a group of small soldier-like creatures, Heartless?
Everyone turned to each other. "Well, looks like we're gonna have to do some fighting then," Goofy said to them, making everyone nod and turn and look on.
"From where they were at," Jaune said. "They must be on the other side of town."
"Well, let's go, everyone," Sora said as they all nodded their heads and took off to take down the enemy. As they were running through, Ruby and the newcomers saw a very peculiar-looking creature, it was small, had closed eyes, had a big red nose, a red bobble on its antenna, and had small purple bat-like wings.
"SO CUTE!" Ruby said as she then ran towards and grabbed the creature and held it tightly.
"W-woah, watch it there kupo!" It said, but Ruby was too mesmerized by its cuteness, and so was Ortensia.
"Let me hold him now!" The cat said to her. The guys however saw with amazement.
"What's that?" Oswald asked.
"A Moogle!" Donald said to them, making the others (including the girls) raise their eyebrows. "Moogles can use items to synthesize and make some pretty interesting stuff."
"The young duck is right," the Moogle said. "Now ma'am if you would be so kind as to let me go." He said, and much to her reluctance, Ruby set the Moogle down. "Now kupo's, any items you might find, make sure you bring them to us, and we can make some new things for you all." He said to them all, making them nod.
"Ok, thank you," Sora said as he and the group turned to head off now, but not before Donald saw someone he was familiar with.
"Uncle Scrooge!" Donald exclaimed with shock in his voice.
"Who?" Sora, Jaune, and Ruby asked in unison.
Goofy turned to face them. "Donald's uncle, a business typhoon." He said.
"Uh...I think it's pronounced 'tycoon'..." Some of them thought with sweat going down their heads. Goofy explained to them that before Heartless showed up, he used to travel with the king on a Gummi Ship. This made the others very amazed.
"If my memory is correct," Goofy said while scratching his head. "He was helping build a traffic system or something." He said, making the others look confused.
"Transit system…" Donald said to him. "A TRANSIT SYSTEM!" He suddenly yelled, making everyone jump, even some of the townsfolk that was walking around jumped a bit at the sound of the loud duck.
"Well, he's got a good pair of lungs, I'll give him that…" Oswald said, with Ruby, Jaune, Sun, and Ortensia nodding their heads.
Sora grinned a bit. "You'll learn to deal with it."
"Eh? What's all the racket?" Scrooge asked with a Scottish accent, he turned around to face the others, he looked similar to Donald, except he was wearing a navy blue shirt with red hemming on the end of his sleeves, a red collar, a brown belt, and red spots that were on his webbed feet, and he also carried a cane and glasses. And he was also carrying a weird-looking popsicle. "Why, if it isn't my nephew Donald, and Goofy. Hello lads!" He said with a smile on his face. "Yer all looking very energetic today!" He said.
"I could say the same thing about you, Uncle Scrooge!" Donald Said with a chuckle.
Scrooge laughs a bit before noticing Sora and co. "Oh, and who are your new friends?" He asked.
"Oh, sorry, Scrooge," Goofy said. "These are our friends, Sora, Ruby, Jaune, Sun, Oswald, and Ortensia." He said.
Scrooge looked at Sora and grinned a bit. "Aye, so yer the Sora I heard so much about eh?" He asked.
"You know me?" Sora asked with a resided eyebrow.
"Aye lad, the king had told me about ye." He said with a smile. "I know you're going to ask me if I had seen him...well, no. Unfortunately, I have not received any letters as of now…" He said this made everyone feel a bit dejected. "But do not fear, if I know him, he is most definitely feeling fine."
"I guess…" Donald said. "Anyway, what are you doing here Uncle Scrooge?" He asked.
"Well lad, I have been trying to recreate my favorite ice cream, but ala, it seems I can't...if only I could, then I could make millions." He then took a quick lick of the weird-looking popsicle and stuck out his tongue. "Blegh!" He said.
"Oh..well, we're sorry about that sir," Ortensia said with utmost regret. "But we need to go now."
Scrooge smiled softly at them. "Ok lads and lassies, be careful out there." He said, and with that, the others all took off, leaving the duck behind. He then took one look at his ice cream and frowned. "Oh, why can't I get it right?" He moaned
Borough/Merlin's House
The group of eight had all made it to the other side of the town, and they took a look around.
"Huh, I could've sworn I saw them come here." Ortensia siad with confusion.
"Maybe they saw us and decided to hightail out of here." Sun said with a grin, trying to crack a joke, making some snicker a bit.
"WOAH!" Everyone turned to see Ruby nearly trip back but Jaune caught her, then they saw what caused her to freak out, it looked to be some weird-looking pillar thing going up, and then another one but smaller too.
"The heck are those things?" Jaune asked as he reached for his sword, and the others did the same thing.
"Don't worry blondie, that's the town's defense system!" A female cheerful voice said, making everyone look around in confusion. "Up here!" She said, then everyone looked up to see a female looking out over them. She had short black hair, wearing an unzipped, dark gray combat vest with a black strap hanging from the right pocket overtop a navy blue tank top with white floral designs. She also wore a white wristband on her right wrist and a grey fingerless glove on her left arm. She also wore dark shorts that had a black strap dangling over the left side, and she wore dark tan boots over her socks as well, and finally, she had on a back headband with white lining on.
Jaune blushed a bit at seeing her, and Sora's eyes widened. "Yuffie!" He, Donald, and Goofy said in unison, the girl smiled down at them.
"Yuffie?" The newcomers asked with confusion.
Yuffie then noticed something and got alarmed. "Look out!" she said, and at that moment, Jaune saw a Dusk coming at him and he used his sword to slash it away. Then everyone got out their weapons as more of them began to appear from out of thin air. "Well, it looks like they wanted to give us a welcome party." He said with a small chuckle.
"Well let's go!" sora said,
"RIGHT!" They all said and then began to take in the fight. Sora summons his keyblade and uses it to slash and hack the Dusks with ease, he then dodged one of them and slashed it when it was above him, he then noticed a small group coming eight at him and pointed the keyblade at them. "Fire!" He said a fireball then sprouted and shot right at the group, destroying them instantly.
Donald used his staff to fire magical spells at them. "Fire!" He sent a fireball at a bunch of them. "Blizzard!" He sent an ice spell at them, which caused them to freeze up. "And finally...Thunder!" He sent a torrent of lighting at a group of them, vanishing them completely.
Goofy was simply using his shield to bash them all away, he quickly dodged an attack from a Dusk and used his shield to slam it high in the air, making the Nobody go up and vanish. "Take Some of this!" He said as he used his shield to bash another right in the stomach.
Ruby was using Crescent Rose to slash them all away, she also used her Semblance to dash through a bunch of them and slash with ease. "Now eat some of this!" She said as she then loaded her rifle with fire dust, and unleashed several rounds into the Nobodies, making them all catch on fire and get destroyed.
Jaune used his sword to slash at a Dusk, slicing off its head and then stabbing another in the chest, then he noticed a Dusk coming at him from behind, so he twirled around, slashed its stomach, and then used the shield to bask it away. "Damn ugly bastards…" He said through gritted teeth.
Sun was using his acrobatic abilities to bash away all of the Dusks with ease, and he used Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bagn to bash and hit several of them, then he used his shotgun-nunchuck style to not only hit but also to fire several bullets at the Nobodies, making them all get curb stomped.
Oswald jumped to avoid a ground attack and hit the Dsul right in the face with his keyblade. He then noticed that he was being surrounded and smirked. "Flaming Dance!" He said as he then twirled around, lighting his keyblade on fire and burning all the Disks surrounding him.
Ortensia herself was also using a variety of spells on the Nobodys. "Light Beam!" she said, using her wand to send a beam of light at the Nobodies. She also noticed some coming at her and she raised her wand. "Earth Stamp!" She then hit the ground, causing a section of the Earth to shake and rise, creating sharp rock formations and knocking all the Nobodies back.
After that, the enemies were all defeated, and everyone is now able to calm down a bit. "And that takes care of that," Ruby said, putting her scythe away, with the others nodding their heads in agreement.
"Hey!" Yuffie called out, who then jumped down to get to their level. "I see you're still in top form." She said with a smile, a smile that Sora returned. "And I see you got yourself some new friends I see?" She asked.
"Yep," Sora said with a smile. "That's Ruby, Jaune, Sun, Oswald, and Ortensia." He said, making the mentioned wave to her.
"Woah!" Ruby asked as she went up to the girl. "You're outfit, are you a ninja?" She asked,
"Uh...yea?" Yuffie said.
"Woah!" Ruby said with stars in her eyes. "So cool, do you know any book moves, do you have any shuriken? Tanto? Any-ow!" Ruby was pulled back a bit by Sun.
"Sorry, she is a geek over weaponry," Jaune said while rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment. "But still….a ninja? Cool!" He said with a bright grin.
"You're acting like me, you hypocrite!" Ruby said with a pout.
Yuffie looked at the theme for a moment, before chuckling. "Sora, you seem to have picked out some new interesting friends."
Sora smiled. "Yep, so how's Leon and the others?" Sora asked.
"They're doing great!" the ninja said with a smile.
"Great," Sora said again. "Oh, Yuffie, have you seen Riku, or the King?" He asked, and everyone looked hopeful for a moment.
"Nope, sorry," Yuffie said, this made everyone present sigh and look dejected again. But as she continued to walk, she turned around and smiled. "But I knew that I would see you again." She said with a grin.
Sora smiled and then looked serious. "We may never meet again, but we'll never forget each other." He said, making some look confused a bit.
"Hey there," Yuffie asked with a teasing smile. "Is that supposed to be Leon?" She asked, then Sora relaxed when she was listening and blushed a bit. He blushed, even more, when Donald and Goofy started to snicker a bit. Yuffie giggled too. "Everyone is over at Merlin's house, come and follow me!" She said as she went on ahead. And Sora and co. decided to do as she said.
As they were walking, Oswald was wondering. "Who's Merlin?" He asked.
"A wizard!" Donald said to them.
"Yea, Merlin was a big help for us on our last adventure," Goofy said with a smile
Ruby got very excited, so far, she met an old wizard, made new friends, met a ninja, and now another wizard? This was so freaking exciting for her.
"Hey, slowpokes!" Yuffie called out to them. "Let's save the chatter for when we get there!" She said,
"Right, sorry!" Ruby said as the others followed Yuffie to the house.
A few seconds later….
They finally arrived at a weird-looking house that was decorated with...lots of weird stuff.
"Huh...is this his house?" Goofy asked. "I thought he lived in that cavern in Traverse Town." He said before the others followed Yuffie inside the house. As soon as they were about to enter the house, Sun stopped for a moment and turned to look around, his eyes looking very suspicious.
"Sun," Ruby said, trying to get his attention. "What's the hold-up?" She asked him.
"I don't know…" Sun said with some suspicion. "I could've sworn that I heard something…." He looked around and saw nothing, and Ruby did the same. "Well...whatever it was, it's gone now." He said as he shrugged his shoulders and continued to walk on, Ruby looked confused and took one last glance around, before shrugging her shoulders and going into the house. Unknown to them though, they were being watched by a mysterious blue creature...
The inside was decorated with books, and there was a computer over at the wall with three figures there. The first figure was a tall man with a light shade of brown hair, wore a white fur black jacket over a white undershirt, wore black pants that bore a vertical zipper going down each leg, two brown belts, and black belts around his waist. And he also wore black boots, wore black gloves with belts on them, but the most distinguishing thing about him was the scar that went down his eye. This was Squall Leonhart, or better known as Leon.
The second figure was an older man with short spiky blond hair, wore goggles on his forehead, and wore a white shirt with buttons going down the neck. He also wore baggy blue pants that were worn high, with a wide orange waistband, gray socks, and black shoes. This was Cid, an expert Gummi Ship mechanic.
The third and final figure was a woman who wore a carmine pink and white top that was held by a string that wrapped around her neck, underneath the top was a double layer flare shirt with the top layer being light pink with a white stripe while the bottom layer is white. She also wore a pair of pale brown boots and a pink ribbon in her hair that was long and braided. This was Aerith.
Yuffie smiled. "Hey, guys!" She said to Leon and the others. "Look who I dug up?" She said, when the figures all saw Sora, Donald, and Goofy, they all smiled.
"We missed you," Aerith said with a smile on her face.
Cid chuckled and picked a toothpick he had in his mouth. "Well, ain't you all looking fine and dandy!" Cid said with a smile.
Leon smirked a bit as he crossed his arms. "I knew it…" He said with a smile, a smile that Sora returned. But then got confused though.
"Knew what?" Sora asked.
"Well," Leon explained. "A while back, everybody suddenly remembered you guys, all at the same time." He said to them,
"Wait...remembered?" Sora asked, but then his confusion turned to shock. "You mean you forgot about us?"
"Jee, thanks," Donald said with an annoyed tone in his voice.
Yuffie giggled a bit before playing her hands on her hips. "So...uh...what have you been up to?" The ninja asked them.
Goofy then scratched his head. "Well...it's kinda tough to say, we were...kinda...sleeping," He simply said.
Cid raised an eyebrow. "Where, in cold storage?" He asked, attempting to make a joke, making Sora, Donald, and Goofy blush out of embarrassment.
"So...Sora," Aerith said. "Are you going to introduce us to your new friends?" She asked him.
Sora then smiled. "Oh, yea. This is Ruby, Jaune, Sun, Oswald, and Ortensia. Guys, this is Leon, Yuffie, Cid, and Aerith." Everyone greeted each other with smiles.
"So, your party is growing or something?" Cid asked them.
"Well, it's kind of a long story….actually, what happened to your friends?" Sora asked the people from Remnant, making Jaune and Rubys faces go a bit dark.
"Maybe we can discuss it over some food," Aerith suggested. "You must be hungry."
*GROWL*
Everyone then turned towards Ruby, who then blushed out of embarrassment. "Sorry...I am a bit hungry.." She said sheepishly.
(Eyecatch featuring Leon holding Ruby's head as the young reaper tries to grab Leon's Gunblade.)
(Eyecatch featuring Yuffie looking at Sun's bo staff/nunchaku/shotguns with amazement)
Everyone then sat down at a large table with food prepared, and everyone was eating it up.
"Man, this is good!" Ruby said as she had a mouthful of chicken. Jaune wolfed down a burger and Sun ate a slice of banana cream pie.
"Jeez...you act like you haven't eaten forever," Yuffie said with a sly smile.
"Well, it has been a few hours since we have been away from our home, so neh!" Ruby said, sticking her tongue out. Yuffie had to smile and laugh at that though.
"So, tell us," Leons said as she crossed his arms. "What's the story of you kids?" He asked. Making the teens look at him with short glared
Sora looked over at Ruby. "Yea, I mean I know you need to find your friends...but what happened? We didn't get to discuss it much at the tower." He said.
Ruby, Jaune, and Sun looked at eachother, this was going to be a long story.
"Ok," Ruby started. "The world we come from is called Remnant, monsters known as Grim terrorize the folks there." She said, much to everyone's surprise. "From what the old wizard told us, these Heartless are just like Grimm. Grimm comes in many different shapes, some weak, some strong." She said,
"How awful," Aerith said with worry. "And how do you fight these creatures?"
Ruby smiled a bit. "Well, we have this thing known as Dust, it comes in many different varieties, but you see….the most interesting thing about Remnant is that everything can be used as a gun. Like my sweetheart here." She then demonstrated by taking Crescent Rose, and twirling it around, and slamming it to the ground.
"Woah!" Cid said as he and the others jumped back a bit. "Is that a freakin 'scythe?" He asked.
"Yep," Ruby said with a smile. "And," She cocked it as well. "It's also a high-caliber sniper rifle." She said with a grin.
"Here's my beauties!" Sun said as he got out his weapon. "My weapons are Ruyo Bang and Jingu Bang. Not only are they both staff, but also gunchucks too." He then demonstrated by using it to his heart's content
"Wow!" Sora said with a smile. "Those are so cool!" He said with a smile on his face. After Sun put his weapons away, Sora turned to Jaune. "Jaune, do you have a weapon too?" He asked.
"Well...yeah, you saw me use it a while ago…" He said, but then sighed. "But it ain't nothing special like Ruby or Suns." Jaune said as he took out Corcea Mors. "It's just a simple sword my great-grandfather used during the war...I know, it's not so special.." While Jaune loved his weapon, he sometimes wished he had an awesome one like his friends.
"Hey I told you, I think your sword is amazing!" Ruby said to him. "No one appreciates the classics." She said, "But me," She said with a smile.
Jaune looked at her and gave her a small smile. "Thanks, Ruby." He said to her,
Everyone looked at him and smiled a bit. "So, why did you join up with Sora?" Leon asked them.
Ruby and Jaune looked at each other and sighed. "Well," Ruby said. "It was about half a year ago….our school, Beacon Academy was hosting a festival called the Vytal Tournament, where students of other Huntsman academies come to compete. My team and I were competitors, so was Jaune's and so was Sun's." Ruby's fist then trembled a bit, the memory of Penny Polendina dying coming back to her head. "My friend was killed there….and it attracts lots of Grimm."
"You see," Sun said to the shocked listeners. "Grimm is attracted to negative emotions such as sadness, anger, etc. When that girl was killed, it triggered a massive panic that made several Grimm come and attack the school." He said as he then took a sip of his soda, trying to not think about the horrors he saw. "It was a major shit-show…"
"We all did our best to fight them off," Jaune said, his gaze on his sword. "There was a perpetrator behind it…..Cinder Fall." When he uttered her name, his grip on the sword tightened a bit. "My partner Pyrrha wanted to go fight her, thinking it was her duty to do so….I tried to get her not to do it…..but she...she…" Jaune attempted to say, but it was hard. "She sent me….her partner and team leader away…" As he said that, a tear went down his left eye. "Away….." He said.
Oh," Donald said with sadness in his voice.
"Pyrrha went to fight Cancer herself….and then she…." Ruby said, but she began to cry. "She got killed….burned alive," Ruby said that and began to cry herself. Everyone listening had shocked and upset looks on their faces.
"Jaune…" Sora said with concern. "Ruby…"
"We're so sorry!" Ortensia said as she then went to hug the two teens, it was kinda hard due to her being short, but it was the thought that counted.
"Thank you," Ruby said as he wiped a tear from her eyes, and Jaune did the same.
"So then," Jaune said, now calming down a bit. "Me and the remains of my team, Nora Valkyrie, and Lie Ren decided to help Ruby track down Cinder and accompany her across Mantle to go to Haven Academy, and it was hard, dealing with a crazy scorpion man, and a Grimm that attacked Rens home...but we were able to make it. There….and shit hit the fan once again." He said.
"Cinder Fall was there," Ruby said darkly. "Along with her associates, Emerald and Mercury, and Raven Branwen, the leader of a bandit tribe. They were there to collect something important, called the Relic of Knowledge….wait….THE RELIC!" She suddenly screamed. "Jaune! The relic, the ORganization! What if-"
"Ruby, relax…" Jaune said, trying to calm her down. "Just relax," He said to her. "I'm sure the others still have it and are keeping it well guarded." He said. Ruby took his words to heart and calmed down a bit, but she was still cautious though. And although Jaune tried to reassure her, even he was worried about his comrades.
"What relic?" Goofy asked.
"Well, from what he has heard, a witch by the name of Salem is trying to capture these relics for something, we don't know what...but it can't be good," Jaune said. "Anyway, back to Haven, we were all fighting them off so that way they can't get a relic, and I was fighting Cinder because of how broken she was...to take away innocent lives...all with a smile on her damn face." Jaune's face turned dark. "Finally we were able to save the school and all that." He said to them,
Everyone was a bit shocked to see how much the teens went through, and it was pretty sick of these teens being forced to fight. "So...what happened then?" Sora asked.
"Well," Ruby said. "After we saved the school we were celebrating, but men in black coats came and captured them all, and that's when we met up with Sora." She said to them. "Now you know why we are here. We need to find our friends. We don't know what this Organization is going to do to them….but we can't let it happen, we just can't." She said with urgency.
Everyone looked at the three teens with worry on their faces.
"Gwarsh," Goofy said with sadness. "I didn't know how hard you all had it." He said to them as he patted Ruby's shoulder with sympathy.
"Yea," Donald said with equal sadness.
Sora looked at the teens, while they did feel somewhat better, but they were still a bit saddened by the loss of their friends. "Well, that's why I'm going to help you get them back!" Sora said, getting Ruby, Jaune, and Sun's attention. "I already promised that I would and even though you told me the whole story, then I'm still going to hell you all find them." He said.
"We know, thank you so much," Ruby said with a smile on her face. "And we'll help you in finding your friend Riku, and that king you speak of." She said with a smile, Jaune and Sun both nod their heads in agreement.
Sora smiled at his new companions. "Then let's look for our friends together." He said with a grin, and everyone smiled.
"And please," Aerith said. "Let us know if there is anything we can do to help," She said to them.
"Thanks, guys," Sora said with a grin.
"Hey," Cid said. "Sorry to break it up, but you kids think you could help us out with something?" He asked. Making the others look at him.
"Hollow Bastion has a big problem," Leon said to them.
Sora looked at Leon with seriousness. "Let me guess, Nobodies? Heartless?" He asked, making Yuffie nod her head.
"Now let's cut to it," Leon said as he then got up from his seat. "Sora, Donald, Goofy, we were hoping that you three might give us a hand here."
Sora smiled and pumped his fist in his chest. "What, you think we're going to say no or something?" Sora asked.
Leon smirked a bit. "Heh," He then took a look at the teens from Remnant. "Ruby, Jaune, Sun. I know you three wish to find your friends, but it would be nice if you could lend us a hand as well." He said to the teens.
The tens of Remnants looked at each other, these guys did seem like they needed hell, and since they were huntsmen in the rain, they couldn't refuse.
"Ok, we will." ruby said with a smile.
"You can count on us!" Jaune said with a smile.
"I joined ya," Sun said while giving a cheeky grin.
"Don't forget us either," Oswald said as he and Ortensia smiled.
Leon smiled at them and then went out the door. "There's something you all need to see, follow me to the bailey." He said as he then opened the door and went out. Sora and the gang were going to follow, but then a puff of smoke appeared, and a figure following suit. He looked to be an older man with a long white beard, wearing a blue cloak, brown shoes, carrying a wand, and wearing a blue wizard's hat.
"Merlin!" Sora, Donald, and Goofy sid in unison with smiles on their faces.
"Ah, hello lads!" He said with a smile on his face.
"Merlin?" Oswald asked with confusion.
Goofy turned to face them. "Merlin is a powerful wizard, he was a big help in raining Sora in hsi magic during our last adventure." He said to them all.
"Another wizard? So cool!" Ruby said with awestruck.
Merlin took a glance at the newcomers and looked surprised. "Oh, new companions?" He asked.
"Yep," Ruby went up. "I'm Ruby, that's Jaune, Sun, Oswald, and Ortensia." She said with a smile.
"Well, it is nice to meet you, dear. And wait..did you say, Oswald? Well, I never thought I would see the day when I would meet the ruler of Wasteland himself." Merlin's aid with a grin.
Oswald looked a bit confused. "You know me?" He asked.
"Of course lad, Yen Sid has told me much about you." He said with a grin, making Oswald look surprised a bit.
Yuffie smiled. "Sora and his friends agreed to help us out!" She said to the old wizard.
"Splendid!" Merlin said with a grin. "Oh, speaking of, my dear, did you give them the cards?" He asked.
Aerith looked confused for a second, but then her eyes widened a bit. "Oh right, I forgot."She then reached into her pocket and pulled out three purple cards and handed them to Sora. "These are for you….there presents, from all of us." She said,
Sora, Donald, and Goofy took the cards and saw that it had the castle on it and read what it said. "Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee Honorary Member!" He read the sign aloud.
"Cool!" Donald said. "Membership cards!"
Goofy smiled. "Kinda cool, right fellers?" He asked, but then he tongued the others and looked sadly. "Oh, sorry you guys didn't get yours. I'm sure Leon will make new ones though." He said.
"It's fine," Jaune said with a small smile.
Aerith looked apologetically at them all. "We only expected Sora, Donald, and Goofy to come, we didn't expect he would have new companions with him, we're sorry."
"Do not worry my dear," Merlin said, everyone, looking at him. "Let me work my magic here. He then grabbed his wand and began to twirl it around. "AlakaZAM!" After rMerlin said his words in a big poof, five additional cards had appeared and all of them went to Ruby and the others.
"Hey, we got our cards now!" Ortensia said. "Thank you, Mr. Merlin!"
"No problem my dear," the old wizards said with a smile.
As Sora smiled, he then remembered something. "LEON!" He said with shock. "We're supposed to hit the bailey!" As he said that, the others remembered as well.
"Oh crap!" Jaune said. "We need to get going!" He said, but before he did, Merlin stopped them.
"Just wait a second." The old wizard said to them all. "Sora, I wish to know...how's your magic?" He asked Sora. And Sora was a bit confused, he felt like he was good...but then again...he didn't.
"Well," Sora said. "I do remember my fire spell….but the others…." He started
"Heh, you must've forgotten them after you were asleep!" Yuffie said to him with her arms crossed.
"Yea….maybe," Sora said with a shrug.
"Well," Merlion said. "I can't let you go of not knowing what you don't know, so here. AlakaZAM!" he said with a twirl of hsi wand, and Sora sparkled a bit.
"Woah, what just happened?" Sora asked him.
Merlin smiled. "Well my boy, I have given you the Blizzard, Cure, Thunder, and Reflect spells. But it will be up to you to power them up while you are on your second journey." He said to him, Sora smiled and nodded. Merlin then turned to the others. "Oswald, Ortensia, how are you both with your magic?" He asked them.
Oswald smiled. "I have been training with Master Yen Sid for my magic, and so has Ortensia, I think we are both good for the time being." He said with a smile, with Ortensia's smile and nodding her head along.
Jaune and the others watched with some envy. "Hey guys," Ruby whispered. "Wouldn't it be so cool if we had magic too?" She asked them, she imagined Crescent Rose being lit on fire and her slashing numerous Grimm coming her way.
"I know right?" Sun said to her. "I will see it now." He then imagined himself swinging his nunchucks as they were on fire, burning several Grimm and then swinging a few Beowolfs with his nunchucks on lightning. And Sun also thought about his word being on ice as he froze several Grimm with his sword.
"Alright, guys!" Donald said, snapping the Remnant teens out of their thoughts. "Let's get to the bailey and fast!"
"Right!" The group said as they all began to follow the duck out of the house. But not before some of the committee made some comments.
"So, what do you guys think of Sora's new friends?" Yuffie asked.
Aerith smiled. "I like them, they all seem so nice."
Cid smirked. "Well, I'm more interested in that Remnant place they got, I mean if they got swords that can turn into guns, then that place has got to be crazy. Maybe I might swing by there."
Yuffie laughed a bit. "Yea, I bet, Cid." She said with a smile on her face. As they all laughed, Merlin took a gander, and Ruby and Jaune came to his mind.
"Hmmm….so that was the young man Yen Sid told me about...along with the girl too." The wizard thought with worry.
As the group had made their way to the bailey, they defeated Heartless with ease. And there was one question they had.
"Hey, Oswald," Sora said to the rabbit. "What's your story?" He asked.
"It's a long story," Oswald said to him. "You see...my home had gotten ruined by a certain...trickster to say the least, and everything was almost lost, but luckily he helped make everything right again." He said. "Afterwards, Yen Sid noticed that my heart was full of light, and he took me on learning how to wield the keyblade." He said with a grin.
Ortensia spoke up. "And since I didn't want to be left out, Yen Sid also began to teach me a bit of magic so I can join Oswald on his adventures." She said with a smile on her face. That made everyone present look amazed and awed.
"That's so cool!" Sora and Ruby said with smiles on their faces. As everyone was talking, Sun still looked around, he swore he was hearing something, and it wasn't his friends talking either...it was something else.
"Guys, stop!" Sun said, making everyone stop and look at him,
"Sun, what's wrong?" Goofy asked him.
Sun eyed the area a bit. "I keep hearing something….like footsteps patterning or something…" He said as he grabbed his bo staff and eyed teh area again, and this time, everyone else did the same.
"Heartless? Nobody's?" Ruby asked as she eyed the area as well.
"I don't know…" Sun said, but be very careful. He said to them, and everybody had looked at the entire area. What was it that the Sun was hearing?
"Hehehehe,'' said a soft voice, and everyone immediately turned to face it.
"What was that?" Donald asked as he began to tremble slightly while holding his staff in his hands. But nobody answered.
"SHOW YOURSELF!" Sora said as he and everyone else continued to look around, but then, a bunch of Heartless had appeared, this time, these Heartless looked to be soldier-like, with them having muscular forms with bluish-black bodysuits bearing a heart on the chest and an inverted gold-trimmed heart on its knees. The heartless also wore a silver knight's helm with two angular spirals on the front and a yellow stripe at the base of curled silver plum. It also had red claws and wore black, silver-trimmed shoes that had spiraled toed. This was called a Soldier, a type of Emblem Heartless, these guys are common just like the Shadow. "Alright, guys, let's attack!" He said and everyone had begun to attack.
A few minutes later…
Everyone was still fighting and by the time they were done, they were all tired a bit. But unfortunately a few more came out. "Seriously?" Sun asked.
"We can't fight anymore...we need the strength for the bailey!" Donald said as he was now shaking a bit. The Soldiers moved slower and the group all got ready, even though they were attempting to save their strength for Leon. But then, a Soldier was shot out of existence, the group looked very surprised and they and the Heartless all looked up to where the shot came from.
"Hahahah!" A cackling voice said and a blue figure jumped down with a thud. He was a small blue creature that resembled a koala. He had blue fur with dark patches on his head and his back, a domed nose that rested in the center of his face. Large black, tear-shaped eyes, and also having sharp teeth. He also had clawed hands and stubbly legs with small claws, and long ears, he also had a short tail too.
The group all looked at the savior with some mixed reactions, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Oswald, Sun, and Jaune were bewildered and surprised, but the girls?
"Oh my gosh...he looks cute and fluffy!" they both said simultaneously.
The blue creature got two blasters from his back and said. "Tookie ba was bah!" He said as he then started to blast all the soldiers. The soldiers attempted to slash at the creature, but he luckily dodged with ease and fired off more of his blasters. After a good few minutes, all the Heartless were defeated, and the blue creature was left standing.
"That's that!" He said with a smile then he heard some steps and saw the figures approaching him.
"Woah!" Ruby said as he then went over, picked him up, and hugged him. "You are an adorable thing aren't you?" she cooed.
"Don't forget cute, and fluffy." the creature said as he then took a quick lick at her face, making her giggle a bit.
"Let me pet him too!" Ortensia said to him as she ran over and the others too.
The guys were all amazed by seeing the ferocity and marksmanship of such a small creature. "That was some pretty good shooting, pal!" Sun said as he knelt to the creature.
"Thank you," it said with a grin.
Sora knelt and he patted it as well. "What's your name?"
"Stitch," The creature, now named Stitch said.
"Ok, Stitch," Jaune said, still a bit shocked by everything going on. "What are you doing here? Is this your home?" He asked.
Stitch shook his head. "Stitch left home to go on his adventure. Ended up here...in Hollow Bastion." He said as he then looked down. "Ship broken down, can't find new parts…" He said. "Been here a long time." He said with some dejection.
The group all looked at the blue creature with frowns on their faces, so this creature was stranded here? How horrible. "Gwarsh, poor little guy." goofy said, making the others nod their heads. Stitch nodded his head as well.
"Ok then," Sora said with a grin. "I made up my mind." He said.
"Wait, what?" Donald asked, nervous as to what he meant by that.
Sora smiled. "Stitch is going to join us." He said with a smile, causing some mixed reactions. Ruby and Ortenisa squealed in glee, Jaune, Sun, and Goofy didn't expect it, and Donald was freaking out a bit.
"Wait, what?" the duck mage asked. "The world order though!" He said, trying to get Sora to reconsider.
Sora turned to face the mage. "Oh c'mon Donald, besides, the order doesn't mean a thing since Jaune, Ruby, and Sun know about other worlds." He said with a cheeky grin on his face. "And besides, Stitch said he ended u0p here, so he's possibly seen other worlds as well." He said to him,
Donald looked at him, and back at Stitch who was looking at Sora with keen interest. "Well...I guess." The mage said.
Stitch looked at the group and smiled. "So, Stitch was invited to your group?" He asked. And everybody right then and there nodded their heads.
"Why not?" Sun said. "We might need some more shooters besides me and Ruby." He said with a smile. Stitch looked at everybody and smiled, the group now consisted of nine.
Bailey
Everybody had made it to some part of town, where they got inside a tunnel that had a clear view of the distance.
"Well, here we are," Jaune said as everybody all looked around. "But where's Leon?" He asked with confusion, making others nod their heads.
"Over here!" The fault voice said, and they all went to see that Leon was over at one of the windows. "About time you all showed up." He said to them,
"Right..sorry…" Ruby said with a blushed face.
When Leon took a glance at Stitch he sighed a bit. "Oh great...let me guess, did he do something to you guys?" He asked.
Sora smiled a bit. "Nope, we were attacked and he helped us out. And I decided that he could join us so we can help him find a way home." He said with a grin, making the others agree.
Leon looked at them and back at Stitch, who was trying to put on the cutesy look, and shook his head. "Alright then, but fair warning, Stitch is wild….just warning you." He said, making Stitch give off a cheeky grin, one that spoke of mischief. "Anyway, take a good lookout there." He said as he pointed out the window. They all then looked to see a massive castle off in the distance, and at the very bottom, they saw leg black substance as well at the bottom.
"We want to restore Hollow Bastion to the way it was before," Leon said to them. "Hell, maybe even better...but we didn't need to deal with all those Heartless." He said.
"Jeeze," Oswald said as he got a good look. "That sure seems to be a lot of Heartless out there." He said with shock.
"Not just Heartless either," Leon said to them. "Those as well." He said as they all looked down and saw a group of Nobodies either walking or floating to the large castle in the distance.
"Don't worry," Ruby said with a smile on her face. "We'll take care of them all, right guys?" She said, making everyone nod their heads. Leon shucked a bit before crossing his arms again.
"Good to know," Leon said. "Now then, do you know what's going on?" He asked Sora.
Sora crossed his arms too. "Well, there's this guy named Pete, who is going around and plotting with the Heartless, only he isn't smart enough to tie his shoes." He said. The ones not familiar were confused as to who this Peter guy was, but they couldn't help but snicker at the insult though. "But it's the Nobodies we need to worry about the most."
"Yea, and that Organization XIII as well," Ortensia said, gripping onto her staff. "We need to figure out what they are going to do. And get Ruby, Jaune, and Sun's friends back as well." Jaune and the others nodded their heads in agreement.
"Did you call?" A familiar deep voice asked, making everyone look around.
Jaune immediately grabbed his sword and grabbed it tight, and so did Ruby and Sun. "I recognize that voice.." Jaune said as he, Sora, and a few others ran outside.
"You're all doing well," Another voice said.
"Who's that!" Sora says as he summons his keyblade and looks around. The voice then chuckled.
"I think this calls for a celebration, wouldn't you say?" It asked with sarcasm. As then they all heard the noise and turned to see a group of Dusks appearing out of nowhere. This made Donald, Goofy, Sun, Jaune, Stitch, and Ortensia run off to fight them off. Sora, Oswald, and Ruby were going to join but then noticed that Dusks appeared and now we're in front of Leon who was fighting them off with a weapon that looked like a sword, but also had a revolver too.
"Woah! A gunblade, so cool!" Ruby said with a star in her eyes. She was going to ask Leon if she could see it right after they were done fighting.
"Ruby now's not the time!" Sora said as he shook her a bit. Then he took a glance at the gate and got started. "THE GATE!" He yelled as the gate then immediately closed, but the Nobodies were still going for it.
Ruby snapped out of her senses and got out Crescent Rose. "Let's do this!" she said, as Sora, Oswald, and Leon nodded and they all got to fighting.
Meanwhile, Jaune's group was fending off the Dusks very well, Jaune used Crocea Mors to slice off a Dusk's head while blocking a strike from a sword-wielding Nobody, who looked like a humanoid samurai.
"Thunder!" Donald commanded as his spell that electrocuted several Disks and Samurai. Goofy threw his shield at a Samurai, and then he ran, grabbed the shield, and gave a Dusk a strong uppercut, and then Goof jumped up and slammed the Dusk in the ground.
Sun was using nunchucks to swing at a few Samurai, while also firing off his dust rounds making them all get eliminated with ease.
Ortensia then pointed her wand at a group of Dusks. "Light!" She said as then a ball of light appeared and flew and hit the Dusks, eliminating them all easily.
Sitch was using hsi blasters and destroying the heck out of them, while also cackling madly. "Tsi'cong! Tsi'cong!" He shouted as he then fired and destroyed them all, and the Nobodies were just getting their butts creamed.
Meanwhile, Sora's group was taking them down as well. Leon slashed at a Samurai and then hacked its head clean off, Sora used a fire spell to pierce a fireball at a group of Dusks, Oswald stabbed a Dusk right in the stomach and Ruby was using her scythe to hack and slash at Samurais and Dusks as well at the same time.
After they cleared the Dusks and Nobodies, a new Nobody had appeared before the four. It was kinda small and looked to be wearing a baggy, light jumpsuit with dark grey legs, and its arms were very long and looked like shoes a bit, the particular Nobody was called a Creeper, and it could shapeshift.
"What the?" Oswald said as he then quickly blocked an attack from a Creeper that had shapeshifted into a sword and took a swing at. Sora then saw a flying shield come right at him and he deflected it, making the shield bunch backward a bit and for Sora to summon a fire spell and hit it.
Ruby twirled her scythe and aimed at a group of Creepers, who took on the appearance of Lances. "Ice!" she said as he then fired for some ice dist, that caused them to freeze right up, and they were shot at by Leon, who fired fireballs from his gunblade.
After a few minutes, all the Nobodies were defeated. "We did it!" Sora said with a grin.
"Yes, we did!" Ruby said. "Leone!" she immediately ran towards him. "Can I please see your weapon?" She asked him, making the older man raise an eyebrow.
"Yea...she kinda has a fondness for weapons.." Sora said with an embarrassed face.
Leone then looked back at Ruby and chuckled. "Well, alright," He then showed her his weapon. "This is my gunblade, I can spew fireballs from it, and when I am in a desperate state, I can have it grow in blade size to help me out more, and for more offense as well." He said.
"Wow...so cool!" Ruby said with stars in her eyes. Sora smiled and somewhat giggled at her child-like fondness and Leon chuckled a bit as well.
"The Keyblade...a truly marvelous weapon." A deep voice said somewhere. Sora then immediately ran out to join the rest, and Ruby got out of her weapon phase and grabbed Crescent Rose, and ran out to join them, leaving Leon behind. "If only it were more..capable hands…" The voices said, making other voices laugh or chuckle alongside him.
Sora and Ruby made it outside to see the others looking around. "Show yourself!" Sora said as he and the rest of the heroes all looked around, weapons at the ready.
Then Sun heard something and turned around. "Look!" He said to them, making them all look at him, a dark portal had appeared and a man in a familiar black coat had appeared before them on a platform that stood above them all.
You.." Jaune growled a bit as more figures in coats had appeared before them all.
"Organization XIII!" Goofy said in alarm, and everyone got ready, with Stitch growling a bit as he pointed his blasters at them.
"Good, now we can settle this!" Sora said has got his keyblade ready. "And after we beat you guys, you're going to give Jaune, Ruby, and Sun's friends back!" He said with anger.
"Damn right you are!" Jaune said as his grip on the sword was very tight.
The lead man shook his head. "What a sad shame...and here I was thinking we could all be...friends.." He said, prompting his fellow group to chuckle or laugh as they then all disappeared.
"WAIT!" Ruby yelled as she then had her scythe go into rifle mode and begin to fire away, but the group was too far gone to get hit. "Those no good-"
"Yo!" They all turned to see another cloaked figure wearing the same outfit, and he had that weird surfer dude accent.
Donald looked to be shocked, wasn't that guy just right there with the rest of them? How did he get there that fast? "What do you want?" the mage said, now getting annoyed.
"Oopsy-daisy." He said in a teasing tone of voice.
"YOU!" Jaune said as he pointed his sword right at him. "Where's our friends? WHERE!" Jaune yelled once again.
The man chuckled a bit. "Oh, you're so cute when you're angry." He said in a teasing tone again, making Jaune's grip on Crocea Mors harder.
"Tell us!" Ruby said as she then aimed her rifle right at the man, who then chuckled a bit.
"Didn't your parents ever teach you not to play with guns?" He asked in a mocking tone, making Ruby glare hard at him. "Anyway, do you need to be so rude? I mean didn't your-"
"Spare us your talk!" Sora said as he got his keyblade ready.
The man chuckled again. "Now you can try to shout all you'd like. Hell, you can try to beg as well….but I ain't telling you a thing." He said. The heroes couldn't see the look on the man's face, but something tells them that it was a face of smugness.
Oswald glared at him. "If you won't tell us, then we'll FORCE you to tell us!" He said as he got ready as well.
They chuckled again. "Now here's the thing kiddies, that would work on me….if I were some ordinary old dude...but since I'm part of the Organization, there ain't nothing ordinary or old about me. He said smugly.
"Ha!" Sora said. "Said the tough guy who sat on the sidelines while his flunkies did all the fighting for him and his gang!" Sora retorted back, making some of them nod their heads in agreement.
The man laughed at him. "Kid, I think you got the wrong impression. And you three, why are you even here? Did you forget about me and my crew kicking your asses?" He asked them.
Sun gripped his bo staff. "We lost because you sent your little flunkies after us and one of your guys used playing cards to capture all our friends!" He said to him.
The man thought for a moment but then chuckled. "Oh, yeah...now I remember….but you kids have no idea who you're messing with." He said smugly.
"You just wait, asshole!" Jaune said. "We're getting our friends back, and we're all going to kick your asses!"
"Gee, I'm really scared." The man said in a mocking tone of voice, but then he looked at his non-existing watch. "I would like to stay and chat with you some more...but I got places to be, you all be good now!" He said as a dark portal appeared over him while waving goodbye.
"GET BACK HERE!" Jaune and Ruby yelled as he ran towards him, but the guy was long gone and Jaune landed on the ground. When they both got up, they saw that they were now on where the man was standing and groaned.
"Bastard got away…" Jaune said in anger.
"Yea…." Ruy said as well, the others went back to help them up.
"Guys, just take it easy," Goofy said with worry.
"Yea, and can I say something?" Sun said to them. "Honestly, I think they are fine." He said.
Jaune and Ruby looked at him as if he was crazy. "What? Are you crazy?" Ruby asked him, see what I mean?
Sun put his hands up to calm them down a bit. "If they did something to them we would have known by now right?" He asked, Ruby and Jaune took his swords, and he did have a point….but that was the problem though, what if something has happened to them and they weren't told of it?
"I mean, I guess you're right," Ruby said. "But what about you, aren't you worried for Balke?" She asked him.
Sun looked at her and gave her a serious look. "Of course I worry about her," He said to her. "I have been for the past months since she left….I am going to do whatever it takes to get her back. Besides, look at your Scrolls." He said to them.
This made Ruby and Jaune gasp a bit, the scrolls! They forgot the scrolls! They quickly took them out and looked at their teams' profiles, they then noticed that their team's Aura was still in the green a bit. "See guys?" Sun aid to them. "All of them are alright." He said with a small smile.
The two teens then sighed a bit and put their scrolls away, they would have to trust Sun's words...for the time being of course…
"Guys," Sora said as he and the rest of the group came up to them. "We're going to find them, I promise you that, we are going to find all of our friends together." He said with a reassuring look on his face. Ruby and Jaune had to smile a bit at that, with Stitch going up to Ruy and licking her a bit, making her giggle.
"You're all alright." Everyone turned to see Leon approach them all. "So that was Organization XIII...they seem tough." He said as he crossed his arms.
"They are, but we won't let them get the drop on us like last time!" Ruby said to him with confidence. "And we're going to find our friends...all of us." She said.
Leon smirked a bit at her words. "I'm sure you will." He said to them.
Sora then felt something in his pocket, and he pulled out his Hollow Bastion membership card. "Hey guys, something's happening!" He said as the card then floated right out of his hand and began to glow.
"What's this?" Ortensia asked with wide eyes.
Sora then looked again and looked at his keyblade, which then sparkled a bit. "I wonder…" He thought as he then pointed it upwards a bit, then everyone began to see light, and upwards, they all saw a massive keyhole, being provided by the membership card, and when the hole appeared, Sora pointed hsi blade at it, and a beam came out and went right in the hole, and then...there was light.
When The light vanished, everyone looked upwards. "Wow…" Jaune said with amazement.
"What was that?" Ruby asked with awe in her voice.
Sora looked up at the sky, he too was a bit confused, but then after a few seconds, his eyes winded. "Now I got it!" He said. "Whenever we would unlock a keyhole, there would be a new world open up for us...I think this is it!" He said to them,
"Oh yea, now I remember!" Donald said with a smile.
"Oh boy!" Goofy said with a grin.
"So does that mean?" Ruby asked.
"Yep," Sora said. "A new pathway and new world are waiting for us all." He said with a grin, making everyone else cheer a bit. He then turned to Leon. "Sorry Leon, but other worlds are calling for us!" He said.
Leon however smirked. "Say no more, just be careful out there...all of you." He said to them all. And they all agreed. "Oh hey, take these." He said as he got out a large pouch and tossed it to the group, making Jaune catch it, and Lien handed Ruby a large duffle bag. "These might come in handy for you all." He said.
Ruby smiled. "We can come back, right?" She asked him.
Leon chuckled again. "You don't even need to ask." He said. "Take care of yourselves. And Ruby, Jaune, Sun. I'll be rooting for you to get your friends back." He said to them with a small smile. Making the three teens smile and nod as well.
Sora and his group all looked together and smiled. "Alright guys," He said with a smile. "OFF TO THE NEXT WORLD!"
"YEA!" They all shouted, with Leon crossing his arms and smiling at their antics, Sora has found some good company indeed. But Leone couldn't help but glance at Jaune, almost as if something was...bothering him...
World that Never Was/the Round Room
In this room, there were thirteen throne-like chairs, all of them gathered in a circle, but only six of them were being sat upon by the men in black.
"So, what do you all think?" The man with the surfer's voice asked. "Anyone, you see potential?" He asked.
"If you were to ask me," The one who had the card said. "Not all of them have that particular potential...but I do see only two of them." He said.
"I agree," Another figure said. That Arc boy...I can sense it, darkness, anger...I can feel and see it in his heart." He said.
"Along with that Rose girl," the surfer guy said. "She could be of great potential! Even if she is full of light, I can sense it." He said.
"The teens from Remnant all have potential," the leader said with his arms crossed. "The only thing is, who has the most potential of them all?" He asked.
"Yea, that is a question, but fate might answer that though." the man with cards said.
"Yes…" the leader said. "Saix," He said. "How are the prisoners doing?" He asked.
Saix looked up. "All of them are still a bit knocked out...I suspect that they should be waking up soon." He said to the leader.
"Perfect…" He said with a low chuckle. His mind then turned to the teens of Remnant, but the people he was more interested in were Jaune, Ruby, and Oscar...but why was he so interested in those particular three?
HOLY HELL THAT WAS ALOT TO WRITE!
But again sorry for the delay...things have happened and it's been a rough couple of days… and it kinda affected my typing a bit.
So yea, I heard you all liked it, and next time we will be going to the Land of Dragons.
And for the last chapter, The Remnant group will be shown next chapter at the beginning. Don't worry, I won't forget about them ;)
Anyway, please don't forget to read and review. I am always happy to hear from you guys and happy to answer any questions you might have for me.
Last thing….be honest, do you all want to know what worlds I will include? I will tell you in the next chapter if you wish for me to.
Now for the new worlds...I don't know if I will make them all one chapter like this one, I will need to think it over. But once the group heads to Hollow Bastion many times, those chapters might be separated thought….I don't know, we still go ways to go before we get to the battle of 1000 Heartless, so I got time to plan it out.
See you all later as our heroes head off to the Land of Dragons (Mulan) :)
