SK Future: Sweets Universe
A sugar-coated reality. Literally. Although one of the smallest universes of the continuums, it is surrounded with much activity. One being the annual Candy Derby."
- in-game description
And we head into another Open Zone section.
The hub worlds here are Sherbet Isles, where this universe's Sora and Roxas reside, the ChocoMushroom Kingdom, where you will find the alternate Mario and Luigi, Mobipop, where an alternate Sonic and Sicon reside, and Pierra S2, an alternate Earth where an alternate Cooper Gang live. Bentley goes over this information in a slideshow, and you can choose where you want to go first…
Before that, a confession. I haven't seen Wreck it Ralph yet, and that's where the Soul Kingdom team originally got inspiration for this chapter. So I'm leaving this part for you to imagine yourself... Character description time!
The Sherbet Isles' residents are an alternate Sora named Hawaii Popper, themed after tropical fruit punch, and an alternate Roxas named Californix Popper, based off a copyright free riff on Sour Patch Kids. Peps, the Sweets Universe's alternate Mario from the Choco Mushroom Kingdom, wears a similar outfit to Fire Mario, but widely different. The only things that are the same are the red overalls and brown shoes. The buttons on the overalls are red peppermints. His hat is red with another peppermint replacing the initial "M". His sleeves are white with red stripes.
Alternate Ratchet is actually close to Rivet, for what it's worth. Although he shares most of Ratchet's physical features, Zang Lemoncrisp is dressed in brighter colors to fit his bright and happy universe. His hair is a brighter brown than the stripes on his ears and longer, but more of a messy bob cut with many stray fronds in his face. He has on white headphones, though they're just for style. Zang wears a lemon yellow elbow length hoodie with a bottom front pocket and black strings, though they're wrapped in each other. On his arms from the elbow down are pink and yellow arm warmers that balloon out from the elbows. He sports lime green folded shorts with a yellow belt-like accessory with a lime green sphere. HIs shoes are laceless yellow and green sneakers with pink soles.
The Universe of Life's Soul Princes help this universe's Blessed Seven get ready for the Candy Derby, and the Sins attack in a scene I can already see in my head, a section similar to the Mario Kart scene from The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Character Description Lightning Round!(What can I say, this chapter is getting long…) Rayman and Drayke are inspired by purple and green grapes, respectively, and Sly and Connor based off blackberry and blueberry tarts respectively. Link and Aaron, honestly I don't know what we decided for them.
Anyway, Another Keyhole locked, another Universe protected. Bentley remains in contact with the Sweets Universe as the Soul Princes from the Universe of Life prepare to blast off to a universe that, surprisingly, Sly has been in before. (See the Sly Cooper Fanfic Wiki.)

"Welcome back to the Flip Flop Universe, Sly… and friends?" "Everyone, this is Sleuth Cooper. He's from a universe where I'm the cop and Carmelita is the thief. He played a big role in getting the evil me locked away during my last big adventure before Sora came into my life…"
"It's been a while. But I do need your help. Think you can fill me in on your new friends?"
Sora smiles. "It's a crazy story." "I think I can handle it…"
End Chapter.
