Hello everyone! And welcome to the next chapter of "The Key of the Titans"! AHH! I'm so excited! I've been looking forward to doing this section for a long time and I can't believe I finally made it! Thank you all so much for the support and encouragement; I don't know if I would've kept going without you all reading the story and giving me so many ideas. Before you begin reading, I should explain this chapter: it will act as the tutorial in the Dive to the Heart and Sora returning to Yen Sid's Tower. I will cover Olympus in the next chapter since so much happens in that world and I might have to split it into two parts, but we shall see. So, apologies ahead of time if these chapters take forever to get out, there is a lot of detail to cover. Now, onto the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Teen Titans.

Chapter 62: Welcome Back, Sora!

(Many Years Ago)

It was a clear blue day in a world made up of several large, white castles built upon settlements of buildings, windmills, and cable cars all surrounded by a beautiful, blue ocean. White seagulls flew past one of the building's windows as inside a large classroom with desks and chairs, two boys played a game of chess on the windowsill. One boy was dressed all in black and had white, spiky hair and the other boy was dressed in white and had black hair done in a ponytail. This was Xehanort and Eraqus when they were younger.

"Have you heard of the ancient Keyblade War?" Xehanort asked, breaking the silence in the room.

"Huh?" Eraqus asked, confused. "Of course, I have." He replied as they continued their game. Xehanort moved one of his pieces and took out one of Eraqus' as he continued.

"Long ago, Keyblade wielders waged a war over the ownership of light." Xehanort said. In response, Eraqus moved his own piece and took out one of Xehanort's pawns.

"Yeah, the master's favorite story." Eraqus replied as a gust of wind entered the room.

"I wonder what they planned on doing with Kingdom Hearts after…making it appear." Xehanort continued.

"Who knows? I don't get why anyone would initiate a war." Eraqus said.

"So…you know of the 'lost masters'?" Xehanort asked.

"Who?" Eraqus asked, inspecting one of his pieces.

"They're the ones who started the Keyblade War." Xehanort revealed.

"Never heard of 'em. Where'd you hear about that?" Eraqus asked.

"Or…they're the ones for whom the war started." Xehanort continued, ignoring the question while taking another piece off.

"I'm not following you." Eraqus said, moving one of his pieces forward. Xehanort quickly took that piece out in response.

"You can drop the façade." Xehanort said.

"Façade?" Eraqus asked, counting the remaining pieces on the board.

"'On that land shall darkness prevail, and light expire.' A prospective Keyblade Master should know this." Xehanort replied.

"If you say so." Eraqus replied. Xehanort looked up to see a black and grey keyblade mounted on the wall. It had a dark, black handle with a raised spiral carved into it and the guard and pommel looked like black, demonic wings. The base had an etching of a goat, and the shaft was made of two black, barbed blades with a white icon resembling thorns. The teeth were shaped like a demonic wing and had a blue eye placed in the middle.

"The Gazing Eye sees the fate of the World. The future-it's already been written." Xehanort said. Eraqus picked up another piece and looked for a place to put it.

"Really? I'm not so sure about that. Besides, who's to say I can't change it? And maybe light will prevail." Eraqus said, placing the piece down and taking another pawn. Xehanort picked up another pawn and took out that same piece.

"Pretty confident. But things aren't in your favor." Xehanort replied. Eraqus took out another piece in response.

"Perhaps. But unlike darkness, there is more to light than meets the eye. You might be surprised." Eraqus replied with a smile.

"Oh, I hope so." Xehanort said with his own smirk. With that, the two continued their game, with the goat and crown pieces standing opposite each other on the center of the board.

(Present Day)

Sora found himself floating in a dark space towards a blue, glass pillar that had his younger self on it and small portraits of his friends and the Titans on it. He eventually landed on the glass and looked around the empty space.

"This place…" Sora said, looking down at himself to see that he was in his old clothes from his first journey. "I'm…young again. Is this a memory or something?" Sora asked.

"There are seven hearts to save…" a voice suddenly said, making Sora look around in shock.

"Who…?" Sora said, looking around. Suddenly, an ethereal white frame materialized in front of him, and he looked to see that it was a mirror that showed his present self. He tilted his head and walked up to the mirror, his reflection moving closer to the faint glass as well. He placed his hand on the reflection and as soon as his hands touched the glass, a bright light erupted from the frame and pulled him through. He stepped out of the other side of the mirror to see that he was in his current clothes.

"Now I'm me." Sora said, turning around to see the mirror fade away. Suddenly, several panels showing events that happened to Sora in the past appeared and started circling around him and the pillar. He looked around to see that they varied from his first adventure, his second journey when he and his friends fought the Organization, his Mark of Mastery exam and being captured by Xehanort and his adventures with the Teen Titans.

Three panels then floated down to the panel and hovered in front of him: one panel was him fighting with Riku when he was possessed by Ansem, the second was him sealing the door to the Realm of Darkness with King Mickey's help and the third panel was him meeting Donald and Goofy for the very first time.

"What do you desire?" the voice spoke up again. Sora ran up to the third panel and saw the words 'Choose Balance' appear before the screen. He ran to the second panel and the words 'Choose Wisdom' appeared. He then ran to the first panel and saw the words 'Choose Vitality' appear. Sora stepped back from the panels and crossed his arms in thought.

"Hmm…vitality is health, right? Well, I would like to be both strong and smart so…" Sora said, walking back up to the third panel.

"Balance…A body and mind of equal merit and equal potential. Is this what you desire?" the voice asked.

"Yes." Sora said, summoning his keyblade and pointing the tip at the panel. The blade lit up and shot a beam of light at the panel, making it disappear along with the other two.

Just then three more panels floated down in front of him: the first panel was him fighting Roxas in The World that Never Was, the second panel was Sora making a pinky promise to Namine in front of the machine he woke up in, and the third panel was him meeting up with the Dream Eaters for the first time.

"What power do you seek?" The voice asked again. He ran up to the first panel and saw the words 'Choose the Warrior' hover in front of it. He ran to the second panel and the words 'Choose the Guardian' appeared. Finally, he ran to the last panel, and the words 'Choose the Mystic' appeared. He thought it over before going back to the Guardian panel.

"The power of the guardian…Kindness to aid friends. Is this the power you seek?" The voice asked.

"Yes." Sora said, pointing his keyblade at the image again and shooting a beam of light at the panel, making it and the others disappear.

"Is this who you are?" the voice asked again.

"Yes, this is who I am." Sora replied. All the panels suddenly disappear in a burst of light, making Sora look up in awe at the fading particles. Suddenly, he felt water at his feet, and he looked down to see the pillar and empty space filled ankle-deep with clear water. He looked back up in confusion to see a ball of light growing at the end of the pillar. Smiling, he started wading towards it when suddenly the water pulled back into a giant tidal wave that was about to crash over the ball of light. Sora broke off into a run, reaching out for the ball as it shone brighter, but it was too late as he and the light were swept away by the water.

Disoriented, Sora shook his head under the water and looked up to see a ray of sunlight shining into the tide. He quickly swam up and emerged from the water to see that he was back in the place from his last dream, where the ocean was clear like a mirror. He shook his head clean of water droplets and looked around in shock and awe.

"This place is so…beautiful." Sora replied. Suddenly, three Shadow heartless appeared from the ocean, making him summon his keyblade. Sora shot a burst of Fire at one of the Shadows while striking away at another, destroying two quickly. The last Shadow jumped at him with claws at the ready, but Sora quickly blocked and retaliated, destroying it. The boy relaxed for a little until the space shook like an earthquake and Sora turned around to see the Darkside Heartless emerging from the seas, only now it had reflective black skin like the water.

The Heartless reached down and punched into the ocean, creating a large shockwave, that knocked Sora into the water and stunned him for a little. Sora quickly snapped out of it and started attacking the Darkside's hand as it pulled out a large orb of darkness and shot it into the air, making it split off into several orbs of energy. Sora managed to avoid the orbs as he kept attacking the hands over and over with strikes and spells.

The Heartless then fell to its knees and summoned energy into the center of its chest before shooting a purple blast of energy at Sora, who quickly dodged and blocked the bolts, sending them away or even sending them right back into the Heartless' head. Darkside then gathered more energy into its hand and punched into the water, creating a pool of darkness that summoned more Shadow Heartless. Sora quickly changed his keyblade into a set of gauntlet claws and clawed his way through the Shadows.

He then turned his attention back on the Darkside and started slicing away at it until eventually, he shot a powerful burst of Ragnarok right in its face, making it stagger and fall into the ocean, sending a huge wave right at Sora. He tried to run but the wave crashed over him again, sending him plummeting back into the depths of the sea as everything went dark around him.

(New Day, Titans Tower)

Sora shot up from his bed after that eventful dream and rested against the frame, mentally exhausted from the latest onslaught that a dream brought him.

"Another dream again…don't think I can put it off anymore." Sora said, getting up and doing his usual morning routine. Stitch was already in the living room where he suspected the others were, so he was alone as he changed clothes and brushed his teeth, making sure everything was cleaned. He put his shoes on and stepped out of his room as he made his way to the Ops room.

"I…hate to tell them this, especially after all we've been through, but…I have to go back." Sora said. After his first dream, he's never been able to have a good night's sleep without seeing another vision or dream that's been telling him about what's to come. And after a few days, this one dream seemed to truly stand out for him. He walked up to the door to the Ops room and took a deep breath while clutching his necklace. He opened the door and walked in to see everyone, but Raven crowded around the TV, cheering at a game they were playing. Raven was hovering next to the kitchen and reading one of her books while drinking a cup of tea. She looked up to see Sora walking in and she set her cup and book on the counter and walked up to him.

"Hey." She said, hugging him. He smiled and returned the embrace in response.

"Good morning, Rae." Sora replied, holding her closer. She pulled away a little and noticed he still seemed a little tired.

"Another dream again?" Raven asked. Sora nodded and looked down at the floor, thinking of what to do.

"Did you still want to tell us what they're about?" Raven said.

"Y-yeah. I don't think I can put this off anymore." Sora replied. Raven nodded and took his hand as they walked up to the other Titans.

"Hey, guys! I got something to tell you!" Sora yelled out.

"Just in a little bit, Spike! We're about to beat the big bad!" Cyborg yelled back focusing on the game with Robin and Beast Boy as his teammates while Starfire and Ravager cheered them on.

"But this is really- "Sora spoke up.

"Yes, final defenses are down! Almost there, dudes!" Beast Boy cheered. Raven raised an eyebrow in annoyance before pulling the chord from the game console with her powers, shutting it off. The three boys all screamed in terror with wide eyes and slacked jaws as they, Starfire, and Ravager turned to face them.

"WE WERE SO CLOSE!" They all yelled.

"Quiet! Sora has something important to tell us and we are going to listen, got it?!" Raven exclaimed. Everyone nodded in fear at her demand, and all sat down on the couch.

"Told you guys we should've saved first." Robin mumbled to his fellow gamers, who nodded in agreement while Raven sat next to them with Stitch in her lap and Silkie slept at the end of the couch while Sora stood in front of everyone.

"We wouldn't have to if we just went for the boss and not go after all the chests." Cyborg said, eyeing the green changeling.

"Hey, I like to explore, and we got good gear from them too. So, you're welcome." Beast Boy defended himself.

"Enough!" Raven said, glaring at them.

"Our apologies Sora. We were so caught up in the game of video and did not want to lose any progress." Starfire said.

"It's ok, Star. It's just…I didn't want to interrupt, but what I have to say is important." Sora said.

"What's going on, Sora?" Ravager asked. Sora looked around at his friends and took a deep breath.

"I may have to…leave the team." Sora replied, preparing himself for the onslaught of questions.

"WHAT?!" Everyone yelled all at once, waking up Silkie in the process. Everyone stood up and crowded around Sora while Raven took his hand.

"Why?! Has something happened?" Robin asked.

"Whatever we did, we're sorry and we promise not to do it again." Cyborg said.

"It wasn't me right? I don't remember pulling a prank on you or anything." Beast Boy asked.

"Did Silkie get into something he should not have?" Starfire asked.

"Guys!" Sora exclaimed, making everyone stop with the questions. "It's nothing you guys did, I promise. It's something else." Sora said.

"You mean…the dreams?" Raven asked.

"What dreams?" Ravager spoke up.

"They're more like…visions I think. I had the first one after we beat that white creature. Ever since then, it's been one dream after another. I think they're trying to tell me that a threat is coming to the other worlds." Sora said.

"You mean, the worlds…out of our world?" Cyborg asked. Sora nodded, making everyone understand why he had to leave.

"I think Xehanort is going to make his move soon. He's going to start a war between the darkness and the light. My friends and everyone else need me. I am who I am, because of them and all of you too." Sora said.

"Do you know how long you're going to be away?" Robin asked.

"I have no idea. It usually takes me a long time. And it'll be long for you guys due to the time rules in this world." Sora said.

"This must've been what the criminal Warp was talking about when we traveled to the future. He said you vanished for quite some time." Starfire said, making Sora look down in worry.

"Dude, that blows." Beast Boy said, his ears lowering. Sora walked up to him and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"I know, BB. But it's going to be ok. I know it." Sora said.

"I just…it's not gonna be the same without you, Sora." Ravager said.

"Hey, you guys are going to be alright. I mean, we're the Teen Titans. Forever and always, right?" Sora asked and everyone smiled in agreement.

"Do you really have to go?" Starfire asked, sadly. Sora slowly nodded as Raven embraced him in a hug. Sora happily returned it until everyone joined in the hug.

"We're really going to miss you, Spike." Cyborg said.

"I'm gonna miss you guys too." Sora replied as they all broke apart. "Ya know what…let's just spend the day together. For old time's sake." He said, making them all smile.

"Aw yeah, baby. Movie night!" Cyborg called out.

"I'll get some refreshments!" Beast Boy said, heading towards the kitchen.

"And I shall order the pizza!" Starfire exclaimed, flying away.

"I…better go help her with that." Ravager said, following the Tamaranean. Sora, Raven, and Robin chuckled a little at the Titan's antics as the leader turned to look at the keyblade wielder.

"I'll go help Cyborg in finding good movies. Not watching anything cheesy tonight." Robin said, running off. Raven took Sora's hand in hers, making him look toward her and see her looking at the ground, worried.

"I'm so sorry, Raven." Sora said. She shook her head and kissed him on the lips in response.

"Don't apologize. This is what you do. As a keyblade wielder. I just…just- "Raven said but was interrupted by Sora resting his forehead on hers.

"Me too. But I will always be with you." Sora said, placing his hand over her necklace. She smiles and laughs a little as she places her hand over his crown necklace.

"And I'll always be with you." Raven replied. The two enjoyed this bout of silence before breaking apart and relaxing on the couch. Stitch jumped onto Sora's lap and licked his face all over, making the two laugh again as everyone returned from their tasks, bringing films, drinks, and pizza already ordered. Sora smiled and relaxed as he and his friends spent the rest of the day watching movies and joking as they usually did.

(The Next Morning, Titans Tower)

Sora stood outside of his room holding a backpack in his hands. He made sure everything was cleaned up and set in place for when he came back and that he had all of his potions and supplies with him. He could only hope that his journey wouldn't take too long but he wasn't entirely sure due to his previous ventures. Sora took one last look at his room before walking towards the Ops Room. The door opened up and Sora stepped in, only for his eyes to widen in surprise.

"Oh!" He said as he saw the Titans and Stitch awaiting him in the room. "I thought you guys would still be asleep." Sora said, as Stitch jumped onto his shoulder and licked his cheek, making him laugh.

"Oh, come on. You think we wouldn't see you take off without one more goodbye?" Cyborg asked.

"I still would've asked for a few more minutes of naptime." Beast Boy said.

"Shush." Ravager said to him.

"Sora, are you sure there is nothing we can do to assist you?" Starfire asked.

"I'm sure Star. Besides, this world needs you guys. And…everyone else needs me." Sora replied. Everyone nodded in understanding as Sora summoned his keyblade and shot a beam of light across the room, creating a large keyhole-like gate in front of everyone. The group stared in awe at the gate as Sora de-summoned his keyblade and turned back to them. Stitch jumped back onto Ravager's shoulder while she scratched his head.

"I really am going to miss you guys." Sora said, pulling out his communicator and holding it out to Robin. The Boy Wonder walked up to him and stared at the communicator before placing Sora's other hand over the device.

"Keep it. You are and always will be a Titan. If you ever need someone, you know who to call." Robin said. Sora smiled and embraced Robin in a hug while the rest of the Titans joined in a giant group hug.

"We'll miss you too, Sora. All of us." Ravager said.

"Yeah, get out there and save the uh, worlds, right?" Beast Boy said.

"Haha, that's right BB." Sora replied.

"I shall do the missing of you as well, Sora." Starfire said, suddenly embracing Sora in a bear hug and almost crushing his back.

"Ah! I'll miss you too, Star. Just please don't break my back!" Sora called out. Starfire quickly let him go and chuckled to herself as Raven walked up to him. They both smiled at each other and shared a long hug and kiss; no words were needed between them. They eventually pulled away and stepped away as the keyblade wielder got closer to the portal. He took one last look at the team as he waved goodbye and stepped into the swirling portal as it closed behind him in a small flash of light.

Everyone looked at where the portal once was, expecting it to reappear, but they looked down in sadness after a few minutes.

"So, that's it then." Cyborg said.

"Ah, dude what a drag." Beast Boy replied., sadly.

"It will not be the same without Sora. Even during our times of training." Starfire said. Stitch whined in response while his ears drooped only for Ravager to pet him in comfort.

"Don't worry guys. Sora will come back. We just gotta have hope in him, like he does with us." Robin said.

"We know it's just…" Cyborg said.

"It doesn't feel right. Just having him leave like that by himself. We should've gone with him." Raven said, her arms crossed over her chest.

"I know Raven but…we'd be out of our depths and need to look out for our world too. Plus, Sora is going back to his friends, and he'll be just fine with them." Robin said.

"But- "Raven argued, but Robin placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Raven, none of us like this…but it's for the best." Robin replied, walking to one of the monitors. Everyone walked away as well, leaving only Raven and Ravager next to the kitchen counter.

"Are you feeling okay, Rae?" Ravager asked. Raven lowered her eyes to the ground in response.

"I…don't know what I'm feeling." Raven said. Ravager smiled and brought Raven into a hug.

"We're all gonna miss him too. If you ever need to talk just let us know." Ravager said, breaking the hug. Raven nodded but kept her eyes on the ground.

"I need to be alone." Raven replied, walking out of the Ops Center and into her room. As soon as the door closed, she slid down to the ground and let out some tears, holding her knees to her chest. She tried to remain strong while Sora was at the Tower but now that he was gone and she was alone, she was able to let out her tears and feelings so that no one got hurt.

She took a few calming breaths and wiped her face of the still-streaming tears until suddenly her powers caused some of her books to go flying off her shelves. She wiped her face again and started picking the books up. She went to pick up the last book, only to see that it was the book titled The Keyblade War: The Legend of Kingdom Hearts. She stared at the cover in curiosity before opening back up to where she left off, hoping to find some answers.

(Later that day)

Ravager walked towards Raven's room as the sun started to set, concerned that she hadn't come out all day since Sora left, not even for any herbal tea. She knocked a few times, though didn't hear anything on the other side.

"Raven, it's Rose. Are you okay in there?" She asked. She leaned her ear against the door still not hearing anything until it suddenly slid open to reveal Raven on the other side clutching a book close to her chest.

"I found it! I gotta tell the others. Excuse me, Rose." Raven said, quickly pushing past Ravager and running towards the Ops Room.

"What? Wait, Raven! What did you find?!" Ravager asked, chasing after her friend as they both entered the Ops Room, surprising everyone. "Raven, what's going on?" Rose asked again, getting everyone's attention.

"What's going on?" Robin asked as Raven placed the open book on the kitchen counter.

"Has Raven found another spell to use?" Starfire replied as everyone crowded around her.

"Something like that, Star. I've actually figured out how to make that gate that Sora made when he left." Raven said, pointing to an illustration in the book that showed the same gate.

"Raven…I thought I said to leave it alone." Robin said.

"I know…but you said that the last thing we ever do is leave one of our own when we can help…and we can." Raven said, summoning her keyblade and pointing it forward. She closed her eyes and focused on her power and seeing Sora again as the tip started to glow and shot a beam of light across the room, creating a gate similar to Sora's.

"Woah, Raven! You did it!" Cyborg replied.

"Spectacular!" Starfire said.

"Hold on…would we actually be going…to other other worlds?! As in…Disney worlds!" Beast Boy exclaimed.

"Looks like it." Ravager said.

"We can see Sora!" Stitch called out.

"Hold on guys. We can't just leave like this." Robin said.

"Why not, Robin?" Starfire said.

"Yeah man. He could definitely use the backup depending on what goes on normally for him.." Cyborg said.

"Plus, we'd be saving worlds…Disney Worlds no less!" Beast Boy exclaimed again.

"Robin, you know Sora would do the same for us." Raven said.

"I'm not saying he wouldn't Raven. But we would be leaving our home and the world defenseless. And are we even sure that this gate will lead us to Sora or catapult us somewhere with no way of getting back? We need to think about this first." Robin said. Everyone crossed their arms in thought at Robin's points as the gate remained open, brightening up the room.

(Meanwhile, at Yen Sid's Tower)

Sora stepped out of the gate and onto the grassy field that surrounded Yen Sid's tower. Sora stared up at it before turning back to see the gate close behind him. He let out a deep breath before looking back at the large structure.

"This is for the best. I'm still gonna miss them all." Sora said. He started walking towards the tower and walked through the large doors and up the long, winding staircase. He was about halfway up the stairs until he heard two familiar voices.

"Sora! Donald and Goofy called out from further up the stairs. He smiled upon seeing them as they leaped down the staircase and dogpiled him in a giant group hug.

"Donald! Goofy!" Sora replied, happily as they all got back up from the floor.

"Gwarsh, we're glad that you're back safe and sound." Goofy said as the trio made their way to the top of the stairs.

"Did everything turn out okay?" Donald said.

"Yeah, everything worked out great, Donald." Sora said.

"Good, now start talking!" Donald exclaimed.

"What?" Sora asked.

"You were gone a long time and then those fire creatures came after us too from the world you were in. What were you doing?" Goofy asked as they finally reached the door that led to Yen Sid's room.

"Haha. It's a long story guys. I'll tell you later." Sora said as he reached the door's handle and pushed it open. "I'm back!" he announced, only to see that Yen Sid was the lone person in the room.

"Oh, is it just us, Master?" Sora asked while Donald shut the door.

"The others all had important work to do. So, I sent them on their way." Yen Sid replied. Sora crossed his arms in thought.

"Aw, I was hoping to say bye to them." Sora said.

"It's your fault that you missed them." Donald replied.

"It is not. I just like to say good-bye to all my everyone." Sora said.

"Then do it faster next time!" Donald said.

"Hey, you try saying bye to your friends. And besides, I'm here now, so what's the difference?" Sora said. The two stared each other down until Yen Sid cleared his throat.

"Enough. We have matters to discuss." The wizard replied, making the three stand at attention. "In order to defeat Xehanort, there are allies we must gather. We must act now if we wish to rouse them from their slumber. We have discussed this before, Sora." Yen Sid said as Sora, Donald and Goofy nodded in agreement.

"Your Mark of Mastery exam was conducted in the hopes you would acquire the power to wake them." Yen Sid said, making the young keyblade wielder look down in disappointment. "However, the darkness nearly took control of you, and the grasp of your new abilities leaves much to be desired. Furthermore, Xehanort nearly made you his vessel, and in the process stripped you of most of the power you had gained by then. Even with the new powers you have gained, I suspect you have already noticed this, correct?" Yen Sid said.

Each sentence made Sora look down at the ground while Donald and Goofy looked at him with concern and worry on their faces.

"Sora…" They both said. In response, Sora perked up and smiled a little.

"I have, Master. But it's ok, I've gotten stronger than before I left." Sora said, making everyone smile with him.

"Yes. As for the others, Chip and Dale are currently analyzing data that Ansem the Wise provided to Riku and which could offer us a clue to retrieving our friends' lost hearts. I have very high hopes for this data. However, our greatest chance of stopping Xehanort's plan still lies with you, Sora." Yen Sid said, making the boy smile a little.

"If you trust the guidance your heart gives, I know we will find all of the guardians of light." Yen Sid continued until suddenly, someone knocked on his door. "I was not expecting any more company." The wizard replied.

"Maybe it's the King and Riku!" Goofy exclaimed.

"Oh, they might've forgotten something." Donald replied.

"Or maybe they came back to see if I came back!" Sora said, running to the door and pulling on the handle with a big smile. "Hey, guys! Guess who's back- "the boy said, only to be met with an avalanche of five familiar faces bursting through the door and falling to the ground right at his feet in a giant heap.

"Hah! I told you this was the same Tower from the movie!" Beast Boy yelled.

"You sure man? I think we need to give it another watch when we get back. Y'know just to be sure." Cyborg replied.

"Ooh, I loved the music in that film as well." Starfire said.

"Maybe later guys. Right now, we need to make sure we're in the right world." Robin said.

"Then we can focus on finding- "Raven said.

"Guys?!" Sora exclaimed, catching everybody's attention.

"SORA!" The team yelled as they jumped up and buried him in a giant group hug.

"Ugh…guys…I can't breathe." Sora muttered out from the dogpile.

"Uh, Sora who are these guys?" Goofy asked.

"And they better get off and explain quickly, or I'll introduce them to my magic!" Donald said, pointing his wand at them, threateningly. Everyone quickly got off Sora while Raven and Goofy helped him up from the ground.

"Thanks, guys. Uhm, everybody this is the team I was with while I was away; the Teen Titans: Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy. Guys, this is Donald, Goofy, and Yen Sid, my Keyblade master." Sora said, laughing a little nervously.

"Whoa! Donald and Goofy! You're actually real! I can't believe I'm actually talking to you!" Cyborg exclaimed, making Goofy laugh and Donald roll his eyes with a smirk. Starfire suddenly leaned over and plucked one of Donald's feathers, making him yell in pain.

"Wak! Watch the feathers!" Donald yelled.

"My apologies. I was checking to see if you were an actual duck, and you are indeed." Starfire said.

"And you! You're actually the wizard from- "Beast Boy but was quickly silenced by Raven covering his mouth.

"I think we should stop talking right now." Raven said while dragging Cyborg away from Goofy by the ear.

"Aw, but I was close to making him do his a-hyuck." Cyborg said, sadly.

"Sora, explain. How did your team follow you here?" Yen Sid asked.

"Did you leave a gate open accidentally?" Goofy asked.

"Of course not. But that is a good question, how did you guys get here?" Sora asked confused.

"Well, we didn't want you to do this alone…" Robin said.

"So, I found out how to create a gate from that book we were reading through and used my keyblade to open one up." Raven said, holding the book in front of her.

"WHAT?!" Donald and Goofy exclaimed together while Yen Sid stood up from his desk.

"You have a keyblade?!" Yen Sid asked.

"We all have one, Master." Robin said, as he and everyone summoned their keyblades together, making Donald and Goofy faint and Yen Sid's eyes widened in shock.

"Sora…explain." Yen Sid demanded, making Sora laugh nervously.

"It's hard to explain, Master. One by one at some point, everyone gained their own keyblades. I think it was simply from the strength of their hearts because most of them didn't touch my blade. But when they gained their keyblades, I started teaching them what I know so they could wield them properly." Sora said.

"You…taught them?" Yen Sid asked. Sora nodded as the Titans crowded behind him.

"He's a very good teacher, Yen Sid." Robin said, placing a hand on Sora's shoulder.

"Yes, if it weren't for Sora, I believe none of us would know how to wield the keyblade." Starfire said.

"The kid sure knows his stuff." Cyborg said as the other Titans nodded in agreement. Yen Sid closed his eyes and sat back down behind his desk while Donald and Goofy got back up from the floor.

"Sora, you should've informed me about these new developments as soon as possible. We could've had them trained under a proper Master." Yen Sid said, making Sora look down. "Nonetheless, well done on teaching them. I'm sure it wasn't an easy process in the slightest." Yen Sid replied, making Sora chuckle a little.

"It had its moments." Sora said.

"Ms. Raven, that book you mentioned…can you show it to me please?" Yen Sid asked. Raven nodded and walked up to the desk, placing the book in front of the wizard. "You said you found it in your home world?" He asked.

"Yes, in a local fair in our home city." Raven said.

"It doesn't even have an author, or anything jotted down." Beast Boy said, looking around every inch of the room.

"How peculiar." Yen Sid said. He raised his hand over and closed his eyes as if sensing something.

"What is it, Master?" Donald asked.

"There is a magic spell cast on this book. An old spell as well. I do not know for what purpose, and it will take some time for me break it." Yen Sid said, surrounding the book with magic energy and moving it to the side of his desk. "For now, we will focus on current matters. I assume your team will be joining you now, Sora?" the wizard asked. Sora looked behind him and the Titans nodded in agreement.

"If it's ok with you guys?" Sora asked Donald and Goofy. The two turned around and whispered to each other, making Sora a little nervous before turning back around.

"Of course, we will. We would sure appreciate the help." Goofy said, making everyone smile and cheer.

"But…I'm not sure if the Gummi Ship will be able to hold all of us." Donald said.

"Did I hear ship?! If so, I can see what modifications I can add to it!" Cyborg said.

"Do not worry, Cyborg. I'll send out word to our personal mechanics to change the design of your ship. It should accommodate all of you when they are finished. As for you, Sora, it is vital you perfect one power-the power of waking, which you failed to master during your exam. There's someone who lost his strength and found it again, a true hero to whom you ought to pay a visit." Yen Sid said, making Sora happy at the suggestion.

"You mean Hercules?!" Sora asked, exciting the knight and mage and surprising the Titans.

"Indeed. Perhaps he can point you in the right direction." Yen Sid replied.

"Got it." Sora said, saluting.

"And don't forget, we'll keep an eye on you." Donald said.

"Oh, this is gonna be lots of fun!" Goofy said.

"And with new help, y'all!" Cyborg said.

"This is truly exciting. I cannot wait to meet new friends." Starfire said.

"And so many new worlds too. This is gonna be awesome!" Beast Boy exclaimed.

"This is going to be quite the journey," Robin said.

"It's not a vacation." Sora said.

"We'll be with you all the way, Sora." Raven replied. Everyone stuck their hands together as Sora placed his hand above everyone.

"Let's go!" He yelled out. Everyone saluted to Yen Sid, who nodded in agreement, as they started leaving the Tower.

"By the way, who's watching over the city if you guys are here?" Sora asked Raven.

"Don't worry, Ravager's covering it and she called in some backup." She spoke.

(Meanwhile, back in Jump City)

Ravager sat in front of a computer in the Ops Room with Stitch and Silkie sitting next to her chair asleep as she typed away another response to the city officials, informing them about her teammates' disappearance. She then heard the doors open behind her and she turned to see Wonder Girl, Argent, Kid Devil, and Killowat walk in, looking around the Ops Room in wonder.

"Hey, Ravager and…Stitch right?" Wonder Girl asked. Ravager walked up to them and shook their hands while Stitch climbed onto her shoulder.

"You got it, Donna. And it's good to see you all too. Thanks for coming on short notice." Ravager said.

"So, what's going on? And where are the other Titans?" Killowat asked.

"They're on a mission off planet right now. They're going to be away for a while, so I volunteered to look over the city with some backup." Ravager said.

"So, we're gonna be staying here and protecting the city, then?" Argent asked.

"Yep, you guys still have your communicators?" Ravager asked and they responded by pulling them out of their pockets. "Good, so you can hang out here or in the city and I'll call you guys in case an emergency happens. You'll also be sleeping here too, so you'll be nearby." Ravager explained.

"Uh, where will we be sleeping? I don't think the others will want us in their rooms. Especially me." Kid Devil said.

"I thought ahead of that." Ravager said, pressing a button on one of the consoles. Suddenly, the couch and walls opened to reveal hidden beds for everyone. "And, Kid, if the bed doesn't work, the freezer is available too." She replied.

"I think I'll sleep outside. I don't want to melt anything in the freezer." Kid Devil replied.

"Alright. Let me know what I can do to make your stay a little more comfortable. In the meantime, is anyone hungry? Stitch is a master in the kitchen." Ravager said. Stitch giggled happily before slapping a chef hat on his head, growing out his extra arms, and jumping towards the kitchen.

"Did…he just grow extra arms?" Argent asked.

"You'll get used to it. C'mon." Ravager said, leading everyone to the kitchen.

(Meanwhile, in the Ocean Between)

The Kingdom Gummi Ship flew across the stars and blue and green space. The ship was colored red and yellow with orange accents and white wings. The original cockpit, which used to house three seats for everyone, was now built to have eight chairs for Sora, Donald, Goofy, Robin, Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Starfire to sit in.

"This ship is so incredible! And it's all built from these gummi blocks?" Cyborg asked.

"Yup! Chip and Dale always do such a great job in building them for us." Goofy said.

"You mean the talking chipmunks Chip and Dale?" Beast Boy asked, excited.

"The same. Have you heard of them?" Donald asked.

"You could say that." Raven said, making Beast Boy glare at her.

"You were right, Sora. The stars you travel are far more glorious than ours back home." Starfire said, looking out the window.

"It really is amazing. You guys travel like this all the time?" Robin asked.

"All the time. But it's always a sight every time." Sora said.

"By the way, what's your world like?" Goofy asked.

"It's a world filled with superheroes pretty much and we fight bad guys all the time." Beast Boy said.

"Oh yeah, we even fought Maleficent and Pete too at one point." Sora said.

"You did?! But what were they doing there?" Donald asked.

"They never said. I think they were looking for something, but we have no idea what." Robin said.

"Hhm, we'll have to let Yen Sid know when we return. But for now, we need to focus on getting to the Coliseum." Goofy replied.

"Is that another world?" Starfire asked, curiously.

"Yep. It's where Hercules and his friends live." Sora said, crossing his arms.

"Man, I can't wait to meet the actual man, myth, and legend, Hercules!" Cyborg exclaimed.

"I wonder if we'll see some of the Gods or Titans. It'll be interesting to see what they're like." Raven said.

"We've only encountered two Titans and they weren't exactly friendly." Donald replied.

"That's another thing I wanted to ask. You all seem to know us quite well. Did Sora tell you about us?" Goofy asked. The team shared a knowing glance for a second before answering.

"Yeah, Sora told us all about you guys and everyone he's met so far. We really weren't expecting to meet you all until now." Robin replied.

"Well, you're in for quite a treat when everyone gets back to the Tower. Everyone is real nice." Goofy replied with a chuckle, making everyone smile. Suddenly, an alarm went off on the dashboard of the cockpit along with a blinking red light. Sora pressed a button and a screen appeared in front of him as he read the message.

"Uh-oh." He replied.

"What is it?" Cyborg asked.

"The old gateway that we used to get to Olympus is closed now. There's no way to get in." Sora said, making everyone groan.

"How're we supposed to get there now? I did not come this far to get autographs from everyone just to be stopped by a locked door." Beast Boy said, holding up a long piece of paper. Everyone stared at him before turning back to Sora.

"How did you unlock the gates before?" Robin asked.

"Whenever we saved a world from something, my keyblade would react to a significant object in that world. Then a new route would be open to us, and we would continue our journey. The objects could be a sword, a rose, a stone." Sora listed.

"Even a bubble at one point." Donald replied.

"Seriously?" Beast Boy asked and the duck nodded in response.

"And that sea-salt ice cream you ate up too." Goofy spoke up.

"As long as the object was specific to that world, my keyblade would open up a new path." Sora said.

"But then how are we to open up a new path without an object from a world?" Starfire asked.

"We can't, Star. Looks like we're stuck." Sora said, slumping in his chair.

"Don't give up, Sora. Remember what Master Yen Sid…to trust in the guidance your heart will give you." Goofy said.

"You got this, Sora!" Donald spoke up. Sora remained quiet as he thought about his options. He stood up from his chair and tried to picture Hercules in his heart, but nothing happened.

"Ah, sorry guys. I got nothing." He said, making everyone go quiet.

"May your heart be your guiding key." Goofy suddenly said, making everyone look at him.

"What does that mean?" Raven asked.

"Master Yen Sid always said that right before we went off on any of our real important adventures." Goofy replied.

"He has? I don't remember that." Sora said, surprised.

"Me neither." Donald spoke up.

"Hhm, maybe it was the King who always said it. Or maybe I just imagined it." Goofy said, scratching his forehead a little. Sora looked out the window of the cockpit into the vast space before him.

"May my heart be my guiding key…" Sora said to himself. Raven walked up to him and took his hand into her own, making him look at her in response.

"I think that's how I opened the gate that got us to the Tower. I just let my heart guide me here…back to you." She said, smiling. Sora smiled as well and held her hand tighter until his eyes perked open with a realization.

"Wait…I got it!" Sora said, running to the front of the cockpit.

"You do?!" Robin asked. Sora nodded and summoned his keyblade and pointed it at the window. The tip suddenly began to glow brightly as a large gateway opened up right in front of the ship.

"It's a gate!" Donald and Goofy yelled out.

"Well done, Sora!" Starfire cheered.

"I knew you can do it." Raven said while Robin nodded in excitement.

"Aw, yeah baby!" Cyborg cheered.

"I'm so excited, dude!" Beast Boy exclaimed. Sora quickly got back in his chair and took the controls in his hands.

"All right! Olympus Coliseum, here we come!" Sora yelled as the ship shot off into the swirling gate in a flash of light.

And that is the end! Whoo, boy this chapter took longer than I wanted it to so, sorry everyone. I recently got a new job, so I haven't had a lot of time to write. But I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter of Sora leaving Jump City, and the five main Titans joining him in his adventures. And yes, Ravager will be staying in the city to protect it, so don't expect her to jump in at the last second. I also hope you enjoyed the Titans meeting Donald, Goofy, and Yen Sid for the first time and you can guarantee that they'll go nuts when they meet Mickey and others. Now, onto the reviews:

Codywhite162: Thank you, glad you enjoyed the chapter and I hope you enjoyed this one as well my friend.

NinjaFang1331: You are very welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.

Ian12091995: Aw, thanks. I try my best. Yeah, same. It was hard to tell what happened at the end of Season 5. Hopefully, by the end, I can come up with a good end for Terra.

XenoBlaze: You're very welcome. For now, she is, but by the end, I'll try to come up with a good and proper ending for her. I also thought Cadmus would be a cool reference and/or setup. As for Sora's vision…it mainly showed what was to happen, and it wouldn't expect the Titans to fully play a part in Sora's future, hence the surprise of them showing up in this chapter as they did. I'll see what I can do for the ending, but I make no promises. Beast Boy's keyblade is called Primal Surge. Hopefully, that cleared some things up.

Cman6465: Thank you, my friend. I hope you enjoyed this new chapter as well. And yeah, it'll come as a big shock when Sora learns what Riku and Mickey are up to.

Perturbedork: It sure has and thank you for seeing up to this point. Hopefully, you enjoyed this chapter as well.

Herobrine362910: Yep, this is where things start to get nuts. I'm sure they can handle it but we'll see.

Althea Sirius: Thank you, Althea. Hope you enjoy this chapter as well.

Owlwarrior: Thank you so much, my friend! I never thought this story would make it this far, but I really am glad that it has and so many people are supporting and/or still reading this. Hopefully, you enjoy this chapter as well. And yes, I am feeling much better, just got a new job so I'm always tired and don't have much time to write.

Trigon: Thank you, glad you love it. No, I don't expect Sora and Raven to get married in the end. I just really like their relationship, the same goes for other couples. Right now, Rose is not going out with anyone.

Khy Dragon: Can't make any promises but we'll see.

Ruby34: I'm not sure who can write a story like that. But I'm sure there is someone. Or maybe you can write it. Either way, I wish you good luck, my friend.

I hope you all had a great St. Patrick's Day, an April Fool's Day, and Easter. Never knew how long it took me until now, but jeez. On another note, I may split the world chapters in two, because they're so big and so much happens in them and it'll take me longer to get them out. Once again, I apologize for taking so long on this chapter but hopefully, I can get them out sooner. Once again, thank you all so much for the support and patience you guys have. Seriously, without you, I probably would've stopped writing. So, thank you once again.

As always, if you enjoyed the story and want to see more, please favor it and follow it to stay up to date on new chapters. If you have an opinion or idea to share, please leave a review or PM me at any time and I'll respond as soon as possible. With that said, I hope you all have a great day and I'll see you in the next chapter. Peace!
