Third person view

Location: Gummi Ship, Space

As the group was now making their trip back to Traverse Town, Beat was currently sitting next to Soejammy as he was flying the ship.

Beat: Are we there yet?

Soejammy: No.

Beat: Are we there yet?

Soejammy: No.

Beat: Are we there-

Soejammy: No! You keep asking the same question!! THE ANSWER IS STILL THE SAME!!! NO, WE ARE NOT THERE YET!!!

Beat just looked at Soejammy as he opened his mouth.

Beat: When will we get there?

Soejammy: Soon.

Beat: When will we get there?

Soejammy: Soon Beat.

Beat: Are we there yet?

Soejammy: BEAT I WILL STOP THIS SHIP AND KICK YOU INTO A CLOSET IF YOU ASK THAT AGAIN!!!

Beat just looked at Soejammy as the man himself kept steering the ship. Beat was having a hard time keeping himself seated as Soejammy looked at him. Seeing Beat shifting himself on the chair in different positions.

Soejammy: Do I have to get super glue and glue your pants to the damn seat, boy???

Beat: I AM IMPATIENT! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT!?

Goofy came walking in as he held some cups of hot chocolate.

Goofy: A-hyuck. Thought I brought some drinks for the both of you.

Soejammy looked at Goofy and then the hot chocolate in a confused way.

Soejammy: Eh? But it isn't cold, nor is it winter.

Goofy: It's always cold somewhere. Plus, hot chocolate is calming.

Soejammy was going to say something, when seeing Beat was guzzling down the drink given to him by Goofy. Beat instantly falls asleep in his chair with some snoring.

Soejammy: Okay... That's one way to get a monkey to calm down...

Goofy: Yup. Also, I think you might want to go check up on Kitty.

Soejammy: Huh? Why's tha-

As if feeling something was wrong, Soejammy instantly shot up and began running through the Gummi Ship.

Soejammy: BAD! SENSES! TINGLIIIIIIIIIING!!!

Upon reaching Kitty's room, Soejammy could see Donald and Sora in front of Kitty's door to her room as he came barreling into them to push them down the hall.

Soejammy: MOVE! MOVE!! I HAVE TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG!!!

Sora: How did he even-!?

Donald: No! Wait! Don't you-!!

Before Donald could say anything, Soejammy went inside the room as Sora looked at Donald.

Sora: You're in trouble now.

Donald: I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG!!!

Entering Kitty's room, Soejammy could see Kitty being comforted by Chibi as Soejammy went up to Kitty as well.

Soejammy: Kitty! What's wrong!? Why are you crying!? Why are you upset!?

In response to Soejammy coming into her room like a mad man, Kitty's response was to shoot upright and try wiping away the tears and pretend nothing's wrong.

Kitty: Nothing! Nothing's wrong! J-Just umm...Allergies?

Soejammy looked at Kitty with a look on his face in not buying what she was selling.

Soejammy: I don't believe you at all. Now tell me what's wrong!?

A silence stretched out as Kitty did everything she could not to tell what happened as she knew trouble would occur. But knowing Soejammy wouldn't leave until he was told what happened, she only muttered one name.

Kitty: Donald...

Soejammy looked at Kitty as he held her shoulders and looked deeply into her eyes.

Soejammy: What did the DUCK do...?

Kitty: ...Am...I am a burden when it comes to fights? Always getting in the way because I've never been a fighter...?

Hearing that coming from Kitty, something snapped in Soejammy's mind as he began to take a deep breath and have a straight face.

Soejammy: Okay... I know just what to do...

Kitty: What's that...?

Putting a pair of sunglasses on and standing up, Soejammy pulls out a rocket launcher and begins heading towards where Donald is.

Soejammy: I just want to talk to him.

Chibi and Kitty looked at the rocket launcher, glancing at each other before looking at Soejammy and yelling together.

Chibi and Kitty: WHAT?!

Soejammy: I just want to talk to him, I just want to talk to Donald.

Heading towards where Donald is, Soejammy was getting ready to blow a duck up. Kitty quickly grabbed onto Soejammy's leg to try and stop him, but was being dragged along instead.

Soejammy: I just want to talk to him. I just want to talk to him, and blow him up maybe.

Chibi: Warn the ducky!

Chibi ran out of the room and headed towards Donald and Sora as he was trying to pull them away from the area.

Chibi: Run! Run!

Donald: Huh?? Why??

An explosion happened as Soejammy kept dragging Kitty out of her room with the rocket launcher smoking from the launch.

Soejammy: DONALD!! DONALD YOU MOTHER FUCKING DUCK!!! I WILL END YOU!!!

Donald and Sora saw what was in front of them as Donald was the first to speak.

Donald: Right... RUN!!!

The three soon began to run as Soejammy kept dragging Kitty with him.

Kitty: Stop it! Jammy!

Soejammy: Watashi o hanashite! (Translation: Let go of me!)

At the time, explosions would happen in the Gummi Ship as a final one would happen to where the ship began to fall towards Traverse Town.

World: Traverse Town.

Location: First District

As Leon was walking with Aerith and Yuffie, they were talking up a plan for future stuff with Cid. When a sudden crash and boom made itself known, the four tried to see what was going on as Donald was trying to run away.

Leon: What the hell is-

An explosion from the Gummi Ship occurred as Soejammy had gotten free from Kitty's grasp with an angry look on his face.

Soejammy: DUCK!!! I WILL BLOW YOU UP, MOTHER FUCKER!!!

Firing a rocket, Donald barely ducked under it just in time as Yuffie, Aerith and Cid moved out of the way. Leon, looking both ways that he was left alone, had a look on his face before the rocket exploded at his feet. When the smoke cleared, his clothes were damaged along with some wounds showing on him. An annoyed look could be seen clear as day as he looked at Donald and Soejammy.

Donald: Um... We're back?

Soejammy: I WILL GET YOU DUCK!!!

Before Soejammy could reload his launcher, Leon had quickly closed the gap with his Gunblade drawn and made a quick swipe. Soejammy, looking at his launcher, was split in two.

Soejammy: You do it to my launcher, but not the duck!?

Leon: What is your problem today!? Why are you attacking Donald?!

Donald: That's what I-

A darkness aura surrounded Soejammy for a moment as he looked at Donald quickly with a glare.

Soejammy: YoU sHuT yOuR dAmN bIlL, yOu LiTtLe ShIt!!!

As Donald immediately shut his bill when seeing the darkness aura, Leon looked even more annoyed as was going to yell more when seeing the aura and about not using the darkness. That is if he was given the chance, Slayer's voice yelled out instead as he and the others catched up to Donald and Soejammy.

Slayer: I'd rather be stuck back in a sack than ever go back into that ship, especially if it involves crash landing because of rocket launchers!

Leon: Just what the hell is going on here!? Why did you all crash land!?

Everyone in the group looked and pointed towards Soejammy as he still had rage against Donald.

Yuffie: What DID Donald even do to make Jammy angry!?

Kitty: That... Was my fault... Me and Donald had a... Not so good talk and when Jammy found out about what happened, he sort of snapped.

Donald was going to say something, when Soejammy summoned out his Oblivion while lifting it and smacking it against his palm with blind rage in his eyes. The tip of the Keyblade sparking with Thunder magic should the duck even say something out of line. To try and break the tension a little, Aerith brought the conversation back on track.

Aerith: May I ask what this conversation was?

Soejammy: Someone want to explain? Or do I have to roast some ducks for dinner...?

Chibi: Don't hurt the ducky!

Kitty: And before you roast anyone I will explain! To explain, because I can't really fight, never been a fighter my whole life, Donald and I sort of talked about that which led to being called a burden and always getting in the way when... Well, when fights happen basically. At the time things got a bit heated, but I have to agree with his points.

Soejammy kept growling as he looked at Donald in the eyes as darkness appeared in Soejammy's eyes in rage. Donald shivered in fear for his life in seeing Soejammy this angry with him. Chibi stood in front of Donald not wanting him to be hurt, as Kitty hugged Soejammy and tried to move him away from Donald before a thunderstorm happened. Though that didn't stop Leon becoming more and more annoyed by the second.

Leon: So, because of one bad talk... You pulled out a rocket launcher, fired it on the ship causing a crash landing, and still kept firing in MY TOWN along with almost injuring Aerith, Yuffie and Cid if they hadn't moved away?!

Soejammy: I get trigger happy when my anger is set off. Considering a "fireball" launching gun guy I'm talking to that is.

Leon's stare was soon turning into a glare at Soejammy's direction as he placed a hand over his face.

Leon: Why did you even think using a rocket launcher on the ship was a good idea?! You were lucky no one got hurt in the crash!

Soejammy: Then tell the DUCK, to not make such blunt statements around Kitty! It's bad enough that we're even on this adventure and that I've seen her die twice already! Don't you dare tell me to calm down!!

Kitty: It may have been blunt, but it's a point! If we're going to be on this adventure, I need to do something about not getting in the way! I don't want to risk anyone getting hurt or worse!

Soejammy: You haven't been useless! Remember the two times we used combination magic!? You helped take down two giant Heartless!

Kitty: And YOU could have gotten hurt still from defending while I built the magic up! You were thrown by the Trickmaster to a wall, and what about that giant Heartless with what, about 4 arms or something?! Maybe six? However many arms, It was really out for you!!!

Soejammy: THAT BOSS WOULDN'T HAVE APPEARED IF A NEW ENEMY DIDN'T GIVE HIM A VIAL TO TURN INTO A HEARTLESS!!!

Everyone went silent when Soejammy had said that as Leon looked at Soejammy with wide eyes about this situation.

Leon: What the hell do you mean a new enemy?! It should only be the Heartless that's the main threat! Well that you really fight in all the worlds, but there's still Maleficent and any of her sidekick villains.

Soejammy: But did they have a VIAL that can turn a regular person into a GIANT HEARTLESS!? NO!! THEY DON'T!!! I SHOULD KNOW, BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT THAT SMART ENOUGH!!!

Soejammy's darkness surged as cracks in the ground formed in his rage with some deep breathing because of it. Many of the group had to move to a different spot to avoid the cracks as they tried calming Soejammy down.

Goofy: I know this is a bad situation to be in with a new enemy, but we can figure this all out!

Beat: Come on big bro! One new enemy isn't that bad! We faced a lot of enemies or very strong enemies in games before and came out on top!

Slayer: After all you told me about what's happened so far, another enemy doesn't sound that bad!

Soejammy looked at Slayer as he instantly teleported to him and lifted him up by the collar.

Soejammy: THAT VIZER THAT TURNED INTO A HEARTLESS EXPECTED ME TO BE STRONG!!! EVEN APPROACHED TO BY THIS NEW PERSON I DON'T KNOW ABOUT!!! THEY KNOW WHO WE ARE!!! THEY'RE EVEN THE SAME PERSON THAT PROBABLY BROUGHT ALL OF US INTO THIS PLACE!!!

Slayer: Well surely if they know about us, someone has to know about them!!!

Soejammy: AS FAR AS I KNOW, NONE OF THEM HAVE THE CAPABILITIES TO TURN SOMEONE INTO A HEARTLESS BY GIVING A RANDOM VIAL!!! NOT TO MENTION BEING KURT ZISA!!! WHOEVER GAVE THAT VIAL TO THE VIZER, IT WASN'T MALEFICENT OR HER ORIGINAL CREW!!! EVEN MALEFICENT ISN'T THE LEADER ANYMORE OF HER GROUP!!!

There were many shocked faces to be had as Leon was the first to speak about this.

Leon: WHAT!? There's someone stronger than Maleficent!?

Soejammy: If they made the wicked witch of the west even step down from her position to be a subordinate, I would say it's VERY guaranteed!

Cid: This whole situation is getting weirder and weirder... First three Keyblade Wielders instead of one, now a new enemy, and even worse the enemy forcing Maleficent out of the leader position?! What else could go wrong here!?

Soejammy, feeling the adverse effects of the darkness encroaching on his own heart, groaned as he fell to the ground and gasped for air.

Soejammy: D-Damn...! S-Son of a... Bitch...!

Darkness surrounded Soejammy as the others saw this happening to him.

Chibi: What's happening to Jammy?!

Leon: The darkness! We need to stop that darkness NOW!

Sora: B-But how?! I doubt we could get close so easily!

Donald: If he turns into a Heartless, who knows how powerful it might be!!

Thinking of something quick, Leon looked at the group.

Leon: Get him to Merlin!! He should be able to do something!!

Beat: How do we get to Merlin's?! Where even is Merlin?!

Yuffie: Go to the third district! There's a red door with a fire symbol on it, use fire magic on it and you'll find Merlin there! Hurry!

Location: Third District, Merlin's House.

Rushing to the Third District, the groups made their way to the door as Sora casted fire on the door needed to open it. Upon getting through, they saw that there were stones in the water as they seemed to need to jump to the house across the way. Seeing they needed to get Soejammy across quickly, Beat took Soejammy and began to fly over there while the others were trying to jump across. It was difficult as the stones were moving upon approach. There were times where a few slipped and fell into the water when the stones moved, but everyone managed to get across. When finding a way to get into the house, they saw a room and went inside hoping Merlin was inside. As everyone was looking around for Merlin, Sora looked as if he went into his own world as he soon reached out when looking at a wall, saying Kairi's name. He was broken out of his trance when Donald and Goofy called out to him. There was a mix of concern, panic, and annoyance that Merlin wasn't here, until a voice called out in the silence that befell the group.

???: Well, well. You've arrived sooner than I expected.

All eyes turned to look at the entrance to see who spoke. As if by magic, the person they were looking for had appeared in the room, this person of course being Merlin the Sorcerer.

Sora: Wha... You knew we were coming?

Sora asked when he walked over to Merlin, followed by Donald and Goofy.

???: Of course.

Sora: Are you... A Heartless?

Donald: He doesn't look like one.

Merlin calmed Sora's worries about being a Heartless as he introduced himself.

Merlin: Oh my, no. My name is Merlin. As you can see, I am a sorcerer. I spend much of my time traveling, it's good to be home. Your King has requested my help.

Hearing this about Merlin's help being requested by the king, Goofy cried out in shock.

Goofy: King Mickey?

Merlin: Yes, indeed.

Merlin turned to look at Donald and Goofy as he said their names, before looking back at Sora.

Merlin: Donald, Goofy. And who might you be, young man?

Sora: I'm Sora.

Merlin: Ah. So, you have found the key.

Sora: Well actually, there are two more people here that have Keyblades too!

Slayer: And in case you forgot while having a chat, one of them needs help over here!

Slayer's sarcastic comment brought the attention over to the group who stayed with Soejammy, with the darkness surrounding him more as he was yelling and writhing in pain.

Kitty: We were told you may be able to do something to help Jammy, please say there is something you can do!

Soejammy still writhed in pain as he twisted and turned on the ground. Yelling in agony and pain as darkness shoots out to hit against a wall in the house next to Slayer. Slayer looked at the wall with the cracks in it and looked at Soejammy.

Slayer: WHAT IS WITH YOUR PROBLEM IN AIMING TOWARDS ME AT TIMES!?

Beat: I don't exactly think he's meaning to aim at you when he has no control right now!!!

As Slayer and Beat were talking amongst themselves, the darkness aura was getting worse as Donald looked at Merlin, fear filling his eyes.

Donald: Please say you can do something to get rid of that darkness!

Merlin: Getting rid of the darkness completely is something I am unable to do I'm afraid. But I may have a way of being able to control it.

Channeling his magic, Merlin focused different aspects into his thoughts as he fired it onto Soejammy. Soejammy yelled in pain as Merlin began to lift Soejammy up into the air while chanting out a spell.

Merlin: Hear my words and hear them well. With this spell, you are to obey the orders of the one who will subjugate you. By hearing the words that will make you halt in your tracks, so too will any powers you use to control your darkness.

Looking towards Kitty, Merlin looked to her as if to give her the option of doing it. Kitty didn't know what to say as she just asked something on her mind.

Kitty: Subjugate? Like when someone tells a dog something? Like "sit boy"?

As if locking onto the words "sit boy", the command was put in place as Soejammy suddenly fell hard onto his head with the darkness dissipating around him. A form of beads were materialized around Soejammy's neck.

Soejammy: AUGH!!!

Winces were done by the group nearby when seeing Soejammy falling on his head, knowing how much that would hurt. Donald, who was watching Merlin's magic, looked at Merlin with confusion.

Donald: So, the words sit boy just have to be said and the darkness halts? Is it really that simple?

Merlin: Why, why, quite yes. I made it so that all the power that your friend has is also linked to the command to halt any movement to make him lose it and even his power should it go wild. But it has to be said to ensure to keep him in check. If he goes out of control and left unchecked, I think we can assume what will happen, yes?

Goofy: Gwarsh, that would be the worst if Jammy turned into a Heartless. Thank you for the help Merlin.

Donald: Okay, I want a first turn to try something.

Donald walked up to Soejammy as the man himself was still recovering.

Donald: Soejammy, SIT BOY!!!

Soejammy looked at Donald with an expression as if not amused as Donald tried the command again.

Donald: Um... Sit. Boy.

The command didn't work again as Soejammy was frowning at Donald.

Donald: SIT! SIT BOY!! SIT!!

Soejammy still didn't react to it as he got up and looked at Donald.

Soejammy: What did you SAY to me, DUCK!?

Donald tried to back away as Soejammy grabbed him by the neck and looked into his eyes.

Soejammy: Say that again to me! I dare you to-

Kitty: Jammy! Sit boy!

The beads hear the command from Kitty as I soon let go of Donald and fall to the ground suddenly.

Soejammy: GAH!!! THE HELL!?

Donald: Why does the command have to work when Kitty says it, but not me?!

Merlin: It would seem that the command will only work when the person who set the command says it, and not anyone else.

Donald: You've got to be kidding! I thought I had a chance to get payback for all the trouble this palooka has caused!

Soejammy quickly got up and looked at Donald, annoyed by what he said.

Soejammy: Sorry Duck, you got something to say to me?!

Kitty: Sit!!!

Soejammy then fell to the ground again as he yelled in pain.

Soejammy: Would you stop that?!

Kitty: Only if you stop causing so much trouble with Donald. In case you forgot, he's part of the team! And as a team, we need to work together.

Soejammy: Yeah, tell it to the Duck that literally thinks lowly of me!

Donald: What else am I supposed to think when you hardly ever take anything seriously?!

Soejammy: I do it because I rather not focus on the tough parts of the Journey! Is that so hard to understand?!

Donald: And what if your chaos caused more trouble for us because you don't want to focus on the tough parts?! What would you do, smart guy?!

Soejammy: AT LEAST I'M TRYING TO HELP MY FRIENDS WHEN THEY WANT IT!! ADMIT IT! IF YOU AND GOOFY DIDN'T FIND A GUMMI ON TARZAN'S WORLD, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE WANT TO SEARCH FOR YOUR KING!!! YOU WOULDN'T HAVE LET US SEARCH FOR OUR FRIENDS, YOU SELFISH DUCK!!! YOU'RE ONLY HERE TO FOLLOW US BECAUSE YOU THINK BY STAYING WITH THE KEYBLADE, YOU'LL FIND YOUR KING!!!

Emptiness filled the room as Sora looked at Donald with pain in his eyes.

Sora: Donald...? That isn't true... Is it...? Jammy's just making stuff up like he usually is, right...?

Sora looked at Soejammy as he could see the seriousness in his eyes. Looking at Goofy, he could see the guilt in his eyes in knowing something that Soejammy said.

Soejammy: Oh, it's true alright. If you ever lost that Keyblade, if none of us had anything that would help this duck, he wouldn't be here right now! He cares for nothing, but finding the king, we're only pawns in his plan!

Goofy: I'm sorry for not saying anything Sora... We were told by the King to find the Key in a letter when Donald saw he was missing. When Donald thought we could find the King with it, it's a knight's duty to make sure the King is safe! But I really do want to help you find your friends too!

Sora began to tremble as tears in his eyes began to fall and hit the ground in Merlin's empty home. Promises that he made with Donald and Goofy were nothing but based on empty promises this whole time.

Sora: You... Lied to me... You lied to us... You said you would help find our friends!

Donald: Hey! If anyone called me out way before we began, it was Jammy! He knew I was lying from the start!

Soejammy: Ever heard of playing your cards right when it happens?! I'm calling you out on your bullshit now, you stupid Duck!!

Donald turned towards Soejammy with fire magic charging into his wand while Soejammy filled his Oblivion with ice magic. Having had enough of the outbursts, Merlin got between the two with his own magic and yelled.

Merlin: THAT IS EEEEEEEENOUUUUUUUUGH!!!

Kitty: Jammy! Sit!!!

Soejammy then fell to the ground hard upon the command being heard as he groaned in pain. When Merlin got in the way between him and Soejammy, he stopped the fire magic in his wand and the ice just stopped due to the lack of concentration.

Donald: Why did you have to get in the way?!

Merlin: Do I look like I want my house here to be wrecked by magic when I haven't even set everything up!? I don't even want my house to be wrecked by magic in the first place! Now how about we have a CIVILIZED talk when I set everything up?

With no disagreements being spoken out loud, Merlin placed his bag down and began using his magic to begin taking items for his room out of his bag. When he was done, the whole room was set up as Merlin sat in his chair.

Merlin: Now then, I was meant to tell you what I was sent here by the King to do. But there is a more important matter at hand of sorting out these disagreements.

Soejammy: Sorting out? I doubt that's going to be easy. Sora is in tears from being lied to and everyone who didn't know we were being used has just been betrayed by this selfish duck who can't even care about anyone but himself and getting the King back! Even Goofy of all people is feeling guilty!

Donald: Oh, don't try talking all high and mighty and act as if you're so innocent! If you were so worried about this, why didn't you just save everyone the heartbreak and just tell the group before we started the journey huh?!

Soejammy looked at Donald with a glare. He didn't even need to use Oblivion to intimidate Donald. Instead, he began to walk up to him in a menacing way.

Soejammy: Because, with our situation getting more dire, I thought you would have had a change of heart. But what do you care? All you care about is finding your King, and let everyone and anything else SUFFER!!!

Soejammy stopped in front of Donald as he looked down on him with his face casted over with shadow.

Soejammy: Had we NOT gone to Tarzan's world, all those innocent people would have suffered. The gorillas would be gone. Jane would be gone. Tarzan would be gone. The WORLD would be GONE!!! WORLDS ARE DYING OUT THERE AND THE KEYBLADE IS THE ONLY THING STOPPING THE HEARTLESS FROM DOING THAT!!!

Clenching his hand into a fist, Soejammy raised it and was about to punch Donald, but stopped just centimeters from his bill.

Soejammy: If it were up to me, I'd have you ROASTED and turned into my next dinner. But with how everything is depending on us to save countless lives, we need all the help we can get. Even if it means putting up with your bullshit.

Soejammy began to walk out of Merlin's house as he stopped before exiting.

Soejammy: If you would, Merlin? Could you by chance help Kitty practice her magic? If she can't fight physically, she can help by casting magic from afar...

With that being said, Soejammy exited the house as he needed to step away for a bit. Merlin looked at the others with a sigh.

Merlin: At least no one got hurt, am I right?

No one knew what to say as Chibi and Kitty were doing their best to help comfort Sora, Goofy looking even more guilty, Beat looking at the exit worried about Soejammy and Slayer looking annoyed at everything happening. Donald got out of his state of fear when Soejammy left as he spoke up, trying to get back on track but just annoying everyone more and just proving Soejammy's point about him.

Donald: What did the King ask you to do for us?

Merlin looked at Donald to make sure this wasn't a joke he was asking after all that was just said about him, before sighing and answering.

Merlin: Your King asked me to train you in the art of magic. We can start anytime you want, let me know when you are ready to begin training.

Though Kitty was happy that she may actually be able to do something to help in fights, she still felt the same emotions everyone else felt. Concerned about Soejammy, and betrayed and annoyed at how selfish Donald truly is.

Beat: Would it be okay if we go and check on Jammy first to make sure he's okay?

Merlin: Of course, I understand you would be concerned for your friend. Take all the time you need, there's no rush.

When Merlin said this, all of the group, except of course for Donald, left the house to check on Soejammy. Goofy joined them as he wanted to apologize for the trouble and show that he really does want to help everyone find their friends. They found Soejammy sitting on the platform that led back to the stones as he just stared where the entrance area to here was at, but spoke up when the group was wondering how to make sure he's okay.

Soejammy: There's no need to stand there like a bunch of frozen statues.

Chibi was the first to head over as he hugged Soejammy, hating to see his friends upset.

Chibi: Please don't let the ducky make you upset!

Slayer: And if you are going to roast him, at least let me join in. That guy's already annoying me, don't know how you put up with him this whole time without saying anything.

Slayer says as he heads over along with everyone else, Goofy in the back with how guilty he is.

Beat: Before you roast him though, at least let me show him what a real fight is like!

Kitty: As long as you don't use any darkness, I promise I won't use the command. But just make sure I'm not around when you fight or roast him, this adventure is already scary enough without that sight stuck in my mind. And you are some of the most stubborn people ever, so there's no point trying to change your minds about this.

Sora: I know you always joked about making him a roast duck, but I didn't think you meant it literally! That would be one heck of a target practice.

Soejammy chuckled as he looked at his friends.

Soejammy: Thanks. Don't know where I would be if you all weren't here.

Soejammy smiled as the group around him tried to cheer him up. As the group kept talking, Goofy was standing a bit further away as Soejammy noticed and spoke to him.

Soejammy: Goofy? What are you standing around there for? You can join us.

Hearing Soejammy say this, Goofy walked over to the group and began profusely apologizing and showing how guilty he really feels.

Goofy: I have to apologize to all of you for what happened in Merlin's house, I should have said something from the start. We were told to follow the Key, that is true, and I won't lie on that. But that doesn't mean that we can't still help you find all of your friends. I promise I want to help you all. I do want to find the King, but I'm not going to just ignore that you all need help too when we could work together to complete all our goals. I just hope you can all forgive me.

Though worried about how Soejammy and all the group would act, Goofy wasn't expecting to be given smiles and heads be shaken to show he doesn't need to say sorry.

Soejammy: You don't need to be apologizing when it's the duck who caused all the trouble. You were following orders, but I know you really do want to help everyone. You and Donald are completely different in that sense, and there's no need to forgive when there's nothing to forgive. Plus, that's the main reason I went after Donald and not you. It was all his idea in the first sense to use us here. You've always been a big part of the team with keeping us all calm in the worst situation and that's not going to change.

Goofy smiled at the compliment given to him as Soejammy got up.

Soejammy: Let's go see Merlin and see if he's ready to train us next.

Soejammy went to head back inside as everyone else got up as they all went back into the house. When Merlin saw Soejammy coming back inside and looking to be calmer, he smiled while asking him a question.

Merlin: You look to be calmer now, have you recovered from the... Talk between you and Donald?

Soejammy: I suppose you could say that, but we would all be ready for some training if you don't mind starting now.

Merlin: Of course, of course! But first, there is one more thing.

The group's gaze went into the direction of where Merlin was looking, stopping to look at a pumpkin carriage. As Merlin used his magic on it, the carriage disappeared and in its place stood a new person. This person is the Fairy Godmother.

Fairy Godmother: Hello. I'm the Fairy Godmother. Your King asked me to help too. I will assist throughout your Journey.

When the Fairy Godmother appeared, Soejammy could see Kitty's tail beginning to sway softly as she was a bit excited to see her. As this was happening, Merlin got the group's attention by speaking to them.

Merlin: I do not know how much I can be of help, but do stop by at any time.

As an elevator descended down from above, Merlin looked at Kitty more closely as he took his glasses off and then put them back on to take a second check.

Merlin: My beard... You have a peculiar energy about you.

This caused Kitty's curiosity to rise as she looked at Merlin with a head tilt.

Kitty: Me? What do you mean about this energy?

Merlin: You have this... "Aura" around you. Like your very being is connected to magic itself.

Kitty: Connected to magic itself? An "aura"? Sorry to be blunt, but that does sound quite confusing and I'm not quite sure what it means.

Merlin: This is as confusing as Magic CAN be! It works in mysterious ways.

Kitty: I don't think I'll ever get how magic works, even in its mysterious ways.

Merlin: Trust me, you are special. Even when you don't realize it yet.

Kitty: But why? Is it just because of the aura or magic connection thing? Surely if it's magic anyone with a Keyblade could be, even anyone who can use magic right?

Merlin: No... There's... something different about you... I'm not quite sure what it is...

Kitty tilted her head more in even more curiosity and confusion, but didn't question as no one would have the answer. Though Kitty wouldn't even have been able to question it when the conversation was taken over.

Donald: There isn't any time to waste on a lot of talking! We got training to do!

Soejammy: Hey! I'm not done scorching you, roast duck!! Just you wait up there for me!!!

Beat: Could that please wait until after some training big bro?

Slayer: That could be a good warm up to get the powers flowing to join in the scorching.

Donald: WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON!?

Soejammy, Beat and Slayer: NOT YOURS!!!

Sora's shoulders were shaking softly from the last comment as he tried not to laugh, getting onto the elevator as he looked at everyone.

Sora: Some training would be good though with all the new magic to make sure we can all use it properly though.

Beat immediately went onto the elevator after Sora, always excited for any sort of training. One by one everyone got onto the elevator as it went up to the next floor where the training was going on. When reaching the training area, Merlin began explaining how the training works.

Merlin: Whenever you're ready to begin training, you talk to me, and I'll begin it. My furniture will be the targets, you can choose to either make the furniture move or have it stay put. Once you've finished with the training or wish to take a break, come to me and I'll stop the training.

Soejammy: Yosha!! Let's see what kind of ruckus I can make~ Real magic is going to be made here~

Donald: NOT WITH THE MAGIC YOU HAVE!!!

Soejammy: Oh, come on! How else am I going to be able to practice my magic? Unless you're volunteering to be my target practice~

Donald: ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

Soejammy: I SMELL COOKED MEAT TONIGHT!!!

Beat: We're having meat tonight? Awesome! I love some meat!

Soejammy: DUCK SOUP!!!

Donald: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Slayer: Oi! Don't forget me, I can always help with some roasting.

Donald: Don't even TRY it! I am not some roast duck!!!

Though Donald says this, it became an ironic statement with how steam is coming out of his head from anger along with having a red face.

Soejammy: Get the wieners! We can cook over his head!!

Soejammy, Beat and Slayer soon rushed with their hot dogs and began to cook over Donald's head. Sora, Kitty, Chibi and Goofy all watched the group with sweat drops but didn't comment. Merlin however, had to say something as he's not been with the group to know these antics always happen.

Merlin: Are you sure it's a good idea to cook wieners over Donald's head?

Beat: It's good. We did this before when Jammy froze Donald when facing against someone at lightning speed.

Merlin wasn't sure how to react to what Beat said and just waited for everyone to be ready to start the training. After the wieners were cooked and Beat, Soejammy and Slayer had a nice meal, it was finally time for the training to start.

Soejammy: Sorry for making you wait, Merlin. We'll be ready to begin training now if you are.

Merlin: Good. Now, stop goofing around, focus.

Once the training began, the furniture began to move as some moved fast, some were slow and heavy and some were more lightweight, making it a perfect combination to practice different magic. The focus was more on Ice, Fire, and Lightning magic as the magic users got their staff and Keyblades ready. Slayer was getting his powers ready as some flames were appearing as Beat was getting ready to practice punches and kicks if possible. Chibi was waiting with Goofy to watch the training happening. Though there were some instances where Donald almost did become a literal roast duck from Slayer's and Jammy's fire that was "accidently" getting close to him, all seemed to go well. Everyone's aim seemed to be improving with the magic and was feeling more comfortable using it in an actual battle in close and long range. After the training had finished, everyone went back down on the elevator with some labored breaths while Soejammy had a bottle of water with him.

Beat: You... Have... WATER!?

Soejammy: What??? You shouldn't do many things without water.

Beat: Please say you have another bottle of water with you!

Soejammy looked at his water as he rushed out the house drinking his water with Beat chasing after him.

Beat: BRO! GIVE ME A DRINK!!

Soejammy: It's mine!

Beat: BRO!!!

It felt like a scene right out of a cartoon with how Soejammy was running around the house with the bottle of water, Beat right behind him chasing him to get the water. After all the training that everyone did, they all began laughing while watching the scene, including Merlin and Fairy Godmother.

Donald: So, he ISN'T invincible after all.

Goofy: Gwarsh, I don't think it's possible for anyone to be invincible Donald.

Donald: Just making a statement of his luck.

And speaking of luck, it didn't seem to be going so well for Beat as he took a jump at Soejammy to try and grab the bottle, but Soejammy moved away at the last second causing Beat to fall into the water.

Beat: IT'S SO COLD!!!

Soejammy: At least you're not hot now. Oh wait, you've never been attractive to the ladies at all...

Beat: YOU SON OF A-!!!

It looked as if another cartoon fight was about to happen with the smoke cloud happening, but it was stopped by another command by Kitty.

Kitty: Sit Jammy!

Which caused Soejammy to fall onto the floor with an annoyed look.

Soejammy: I seriously hate that so much already...

Kitty: Better than you causing a fight around Merlin's house. Especially when he's been kind and helped us with letting us practice our magic here, and helped you with the darkness. Speaking of which, we should let everyone know that Merlin was able to do something about that.

Sora: And hope that Leon isn't... TOO mad at the rocket launcher incident.

Sweatdrops happened with all the group at the reminder of what happened with crash landing into Traverse Town and Leon getting hurt with the rocket. Fairy Godmother and Merlin glanced at each other, both wanting to ask what happened, but deciding it was best not to ask.

Merlin: You're always welcome to come here whenever you wish, whether it's to practice magic or just to rest.

Fairy Godmother: And please stay safe on your journey.

Sora: Thank you both so much for all the help!

Saying goodbye to Fairy Godmother and Merlin, the group headed out of the house and headed back to the Third District to talk to everyone.

Location: First District, Accessory Shop.

Upon reaching the Accessory shop to talk to Cid, the group was about to enter the shop when Soejammy saw Leon cleaning himself off.

Soejammy: On second thought, I think I would rather explore the other districts. Have fun talking to Leon and Cid.

Turning around, Soejammy left a dust version of himself as he began to run like hell.

Soejammy: NIGERUNDAYOOOOOO!!!

Kitty: Oh, for the love of...Jammy, sit!!

Although Soejammy didn't get very far with running away to explore other districts as he soon face planted into the ground when the command was said. Soejammy got up as he looked towards Kitty.

Soejammy: Will you knock that off!? I'm not even trying to cause trouble right now!!

Kitty: And you think that running away and not facing what you did to Leon isn't going to cause trouble later on? ESPECIALLY when he's helping us!? You can't just run away at the first sight of him!

Soejammy: Watch me!

Soejammy began to keep running as he was trying to escape to the Second District. But every attempt to leave to the Second District failed every time when the command was said, sending him back onto the ground each time. Soejammy got up and looked at Kitty angrily.

Soejammy: JUST LET ME GO TO THE NEXT DISTRICT!! I JUST WANT TO TRAIN!!

Kitty: That is an excuse, and you KNOW it! We just did a lot of training at Merlin's house! Admit it, you just don't want to face Leon.

Soejammy: Ha! I just thought that while you guys handle stuff here, I can train and just be ready for what's to come! It's called "preparing under pressure"!!

A blank and emotionless look was given in response to this by Kitty before she facepalms and looked back at Soejammy.

Kitty: You know that you're going to need to face Leon again, sooner or later. And I know you wouldn't just leave the group or go alone with how many dangers there are, adding the unknown enemy to the list. Just say sorry to Leon and everything should work out.

Soejammy: Yeah, no chance. All I want to do is just explore on my own. Go meet me back at Merlin's after you guys get a book and gem from Cid and Leon.

Soejammy began to walk off as he headed for the Second District by himself. Beat was going to go after Soejammy, but Goofy placed a hand on his shoulder.

Goofy: Don't worry. Jammy seems to need some time.

Beat: If you're sure Goofy... We better talk to Cid and Leon so we can meet up with big bro again.

Hearing agreements and Donald being happy to go separate ways from Soejammy, the group headed in as Goofy noticed Kitty's worry for Soejammy.

Goofy: Kitty? You okay?

Kitty: Hmm? Oh, I'm fine Goofy.

Goofy: You sure worry about Jammy a lot...

Kitty: Only because of how reckless he can be and with all the enemies about! But we should head inside and catch up with the group.

Saying this, Kitty quickly headed inside quickly to hide from the embarrassment of being caught worrying so much about Soejammy. With Goofy heading inside, the group headed over, Leon seeing them first, but noticed Soejammy missing.

Leon: Isn't the darkness and rocket maniac with you?

Donald: He's off doing whatever he wants. We're here as HEROES to ask a few things.

Eyebrows were raised by both Leon and Cid with the attitude Donald has, but put it down to his usual bad temper. Cid was going to ask about what it is that they need, before noticing the Gummi Ship part that Goofy was carrying.

Cid: Well, what it is you ne- Hey! Well, if it ain't a gummi block.

Donald: Yup.

Goofy asked a question which left Cid to go into shock and give a lecture.

Goofy: What's this one for?

Cid: You're kidding me! You're flyin' a gummi ship and you don't know nothin' about navigation gummis? Bunch of pinheads. Interspace ain't no playground.

In response to Cid's lecture, Sora gave a response back to show how serious the situation is and why everyone needs to use the Gummi Ship.

Sora: We have to use the Gummi Ship to go to other words. We don't have a choice.

Cid: Whoa, easy. I didn't know, no hard feelings kid. Well, guess I could lend y'all a hand then.

Sora: Thanks!

Chibi: But what does the gummi do?

Cid: Basically, with navigation gummis, you can go to new places. You want one on your ship, right?

Donald and Goofy nodded in response to Cid's question to show the navigation gummi would help on the ship.

Cid: I'll install it for you. But I got this thing I got to deliver first.

As Kitty and Beat thought to themselves about how this could be the book or gem that Soejammy said to get from Leon and Cid, Sora asked Cid what needs delivering.

Sora: What do you need to deliver?

Cid: Just this book.

As he talks, Cid places the said book on the counter that needs to be delivered for everyone to see. With Soejammy having mentioned the book, Beat looked at Kitty with a shocked expression.

Beat: This is the book Jammy was talking about!

Cid and Leon looked at Beat and began to question what he meant.

Leon: Huh? What do you mean?

Beat: Jammy just said that we would get a book from Cid! Wait, do one of you have a gem you're about to give?

Donald: Oh, for the love of- There is no way that-

Before Donald could finish his "statement" that there is no way Soejammy knew that the group were going to be given a gem, Leon cut him off to prove him wrong.

Leon: As a matter of fact...

Leon began to search his pockets as he pulled out a gem to show the others.

Leon: Was he talking about this???

The group became surprised to see this before their eyes as Donald just hit his head against the wall at the stupidity of coincidences. The group just looked at Donald before glancing back at Leon and the gem he's holding, curious as to what's so important about the gem.

Sora: What does this gem even do? Why is it so important?

Kitty: If Jammy said about needing the gem, it has to mean something...

Though in his classic fashion, Leon only gave a shrug in response and handed the gem to Kitty, before leaning back against the wall. Though it raised more of why Soejammy knew exactly who and how to get the items before they even attempted. Beat, Chibi, and Kitty knew as Soejammy was going by his memory of where to find the stuff, Slayer having an assumption that Soejammy knew this stuff already based on how much of a fan of the series he is. Sora tried asking Leon to explain why the gem was important, but Leon remained silent. When they weren't going to get any answers from Leon about the gem, the attention was turned back to Cid and the book.

Goofy: This book seems to be in pretty good condition, I thought it would look more tattered with how old it seems.

Cid: It's real old. When the guy brought it in, it was practically falling apart. Too beat up to restore it to the way it was. But overall, I did a decent job puttin' it back together. Anyway, you mind delivering it for me? It actually needs to be delivered to Merlin's house, so luckily you know where to go.

As Sora picked up the book to take it to Merlin, a loud sound rang out causing Kitty to cover her ears and everyone to try keeping their balance when it felt like the whole shop was shaking.

Sora: W-What was that?!

Slayer: Does this town get earthquakes or something?! Though it seemed too short to be an earthquake...

Donald: I bet you that so called "hero" who I will never understand how he got a Keyblade did something to cause this! He's always the one causing trouble!

Before any fights or Donald being ganged up against for his accusations could happen, Cid broke through the rising tension by telling everyone what actually caused the loud sound.

Cid: Hmm? The bell at the gizmo shop is ringing. Go check it out if you want, but deliver that book for me first. When you're done, stop by the house in the Third District, we'll be there.

As the group were getting ready to leave the shop and head back to Merlin's house to meet up with Soejammy, Leon broke his silence.

Leon: Before you go, there is one thing I need to ask for your help on.

Goofy: Hmm? What is it?

Leon: First I want to ask, did you find the Keyhole?

Sora: Yeah, the Keyblade locked it automatically.

Leon: Good. Every world among the stars has a Keyhole. And each one leads to the heart of the world. There must be one in this town as well.

Sora: What do you mean?

Leon: It was in Ansem's report. The Heartless enter through the Keyhole and do something to the world's core.

Beat: But what happens to the world?

Leon: In the end, it disappears.

Everyone, even Donald who only cares about his goals, looked at Leon in shock as all screamed together.

Everyone but Leon and Cid: WHAT?!

When they heard that explanation, they remembered back before they brought Soejammy to Merlin when he was yelling at Donald about the worlds they visited.

Sora: If every world has a Keyhole... If we never did land in Tarzan's world... Chibi and everyone there would-

Leon: -would have disappeared... Lost to the darkness...

Chibi had tears in his eyes at the thought of how he could have disappeared if the Keyhole wasn't sealed and saved everyone on that world as Donald was realizing what Soejammy really meant about the worlds and how everyone could disappear.

Goofy: That's why Jammy was so angry... He knew the dangers of leaving a world unprotected...

Beat: Even when it meant having to keep his frustrations controlled...

Kitty: It's... It's horrible...!

Slayer: All those innocent people... We need to do everything we can to help them!

Leon: That's why the Keyblades are so important.

Sora then had a realization and looked at Donald.

Sora: And if Jammy hadn't tried to stay on course, his friend would have been attacked on that world! If Kairi or Riku were there also, even them! Worse, even your King!

Donald: Don't you dare use the King on me!!

Sora: Why?! Because you believed you thought the King wouldn't be in that world!? Is that what you want to say!?

Sora and Donald were now arguing with each other as Beat got Sora while Goofy got Donald to push them away from each other.

Beat: I get it, you want to roast the duck now like Jammy does! But we went to the world, it's safe now!

Goofy: Donald!

Donald: Let go of me Goofy!

Goofy: They're right, Donald! Even if we were supposed to be on the search for the King, protecting the worlds also came as a priority to keeping the world border!

Everyone, but Leon, Goofy and Cid: ORDER!

Goofy: But it isn't just about us anymore! Kitty, Jammy, and Sora have friends out there that need our help! Not just the King!

Donald didn't look at Goofy as he contemplated with his own thoughts.

Goofy: Our friends are willing to trust us in both battle and while traversing worlds. Be honest, would you want help in searching for our friends if we were in the same position?

Donald refused to say anything as he looked at Goofy.

Donald: Then explain how that idiot Jammy keeps targeting me!!

Goofy: Well, he had a very valid point with how you tried lying to them! He was just looking out for the safety of his friends as you probably thought they were dead weight!

Donald: Well, sorry for thinking that at all!!

There was silence in the room as Donald took some deep breaths as Beat looked at Donald and tightened his hand into a fist.

Beat: Is that what you REALLY think?

Donald rolled his eyes as crossed his arms.

Donald: And what if I said yes to that??? During this whole adventure, you and Jammy have been nothing but idiots!

Beat: Have you EVER stopped to think maybe that's how we always are?! We may be idiots with each other, but that's our friendship! And our friendship also includes watching out for each other, including all our friends! Sorry that we're such DEAD WEIGHT when we have also helped where we could!!

Beat walked past Donald as he pushed open the door and jumped to take flight into the air. Leon watched this and looked at Kitty.

Leon: Did... He just fly?

Kitty: It's... Complicated, he's umm...Not exactly human. It's hard to explain in a short amount of time.

Leon rubbed his head in confusion from all of this as Chibi tugged on Kitty's leg.

Chibi: Duckie bad... Chibi freeze duck?

Kitty shakes her head as she picks up Chibi as everyone is ready to leave, hearing more than enough about what Donald thinks of them all.

Kitty: Chibi shouldn't be freezing anyone. He's too cute and nice for that.

Slayer: But he also has a point about him being bad. Besides, me and Jammy are MORE than happy to take care of the duck with a nice, long roasting.

Saying this, Slayer gave a cold stare towards Donald with an orange glow in his eyes and fire appearing in his hands.

Slayer: If anything, I may have a laid-back persona... But talking shit about my friends makes me fucking pissed. You've been warned, Duck.

Donald: Then fine! Go! We don't need you anyway! We only need ONE KEY to find the King any-

Sora: No.

Donald widened his eyes as he looked at Sora.

Donald: WHAT!?

Sora: I said NO! You're just using me as an excuse to go find YOUR King! I agreed to help because I was being kind to help look! When you said that we'll find mine, Kitty and Jammy's friends, did you have ANY intention of helping us?!

Donald was about to say something, but looked at Slayer who had a fist full of flames ready to scorch the duck if he lied.

Donald: I... I didn't believe we would find anyone else... So why have the intention to help if there was no point?

Sora looked at Donald with a furious look on his face after the battles they had to go through together.

Sora: All this time since we first left Traverse Town... No wonder Jammy hates you. He knew you lied to us from the start. That's why he ratted you out. You know what... Fine. Have fun finding your King. While you do that, we'll be saving worlds and finding OUR friends without you!

Sora began to run as he pushed through the group to get out of the Accessory shop. Goofy looked worried at Sora as he tried to call out to him.

Goofy: Sora! Wait!

But Goofy's voice fell on deaf ears as the door closed behind Sora just like with Beat. Slayer looked at Donald with an angry look on his face as he decided to walk out before anyone else did.

Goofy: S-Slayer...?

Slayer didn't respond as he exited the building too to wander around the District by himself. Leon rubbed his eyes as he looked at Donald.

Leon: Of all people you had to piss off, you did it to EVERYONE here. Now no one trusts you at all.

Donald looked at Leon and didn't even have an idea what to say. He looked at Kitty, who still held Chibi in her arms.

Donald: Kitty...?

Kitty: Heh... And this is why trust can be broken so easily... Because of backstabbers and liars like you! I really do hope you find your King, I truly do. But hope you take this as a lesson on being honest for once...

Saying this, Kitty looked at Goofy with a small, sad smile.

Kitty: Thanks for everything you've done for us Goofy, I really hope to see you around pal.

Kitty soon walked out with Chibi in her arms. Looking over Kitty's shoulder, Chibi glared at Donald with an icy glare as Donald was flashfrozen in a block of ice instantly. Leon was surprised by this and facepalmed.

Leon: This day... Can't possibly get worse...

Goofy: I heard saying that jinxes things.

Leon: Not helping, Goofy...

Cid: Great. Now who am I going to return Merlin's book to him???

Goofy and Leon looked at Cid as he looked at both.

Cid: What? Too soon?

Location: Second District

In the next District, Soejammy was testing his skills by attacking the Heartless that continually appeared in the District. A glare in his eyes as he slashed at two Soldiers at once and jumped up to thrust Oblivion into the air for a Thunder spell he came up with.

Soejammy: Static Shocker!!

Swinging his Keyblade down, the magic fired from the tip of Oblivion towards the group of Heartless as it caused them all around the impact area to be paralyzed by the electricity. Landing on the ground, Soejammy then grabbed the head of one of the Soldier Heartless and lifted them up to thrust his Keyblade through the chest to defeat it. The rage Soejammy felt from what had happened angered him as he grabbed the beads around his neck and tried pulling them off. Of course, to no avail as the magic kept them from breaking loose or free from him.

Soejammy: STUPID BEADS!! I WISH THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!

Being attacked from behind, Soejammy moved his head to look at the Shadow behind him as it observed him.

Soejammy: Your turn to die.

Taking a step back, Soejammy countered against the Heartless with one swing from Oblivion as it turned into smoke. The other Heartless watched as they soon disappeared in fear of their opponent.

Soejammy: Chicken shit Heartless! You couldn't handle me regardless of anything! Ugh!!

Soejammy took some deep breaths as he raised his Keyblade to cast a healing spell.

Soejammy: Heal.

Using Cure, Soejammy spends his magic to fix the wounds made to him.

Slayer: Wow. Someone sure is pissed tonight.

Looking behind him, Soejammy could see Slayer sitting on the ledge where the hotel was at.

Soejammy: Why are you wondering by yourself?

Slayer: Blowing off some steam like you are.

Slayer aimed his palm and shot fire towards behind Soejammy as a Shadow tried to sneak up on him from behind.

Soejammy: Hmph... You shouldn't really. Stuff like that could happen.

Slayer: Bitch, I don't GIVE a damn what you say!

Soejammy: Whatever. Though, I do have a question. What happened while I was away?

Slayer: Trust me. You DON'T want to know about anything right now...

Soejammy: Let me guess... The duck?

Slayer: That obvious?

Soejammy: It's the DUCK we're talking about here...

Slayer: Fair enough. Basically, after all that happened between you and Donald, it finally broke through with everyone because of his actions and you calling him out earlier on it.

Soejammy sent Oblivion to his inventory as he turned to have his back facing Slayer.

Soejammy: Gee, I wonder why.

Slayer: Sarcasm, a beautiful language.

Soejammy: So, know where the others are? Highly doubting anyone would still be with the narcissistic duck.

Slayer: With how he called all of us "dead weight"? You can imagine what we all did.

Soejammy: Please tell me the Duck is dead.

Slayer: Sadly, no.

Soejammy growled in frustration hearing that.

Soejammy: One thing... I wanted one thing today!

Slayer: Is it REALLY that important to you as of this moment???

Soejammy: Would you believe me if I said "Yes!"?

Slayer: Well, Chibi did ask if he should freeze Donald, but was stopped earlier. But who knows what happened. Beat flew off, Sora ran off after learning the promise to find our friends along with his was completely a lie, then I left. Though really wishing I did roast a duck right now myself. No idea what happened after I left, so maybe we have a popsicle right now.

Soejammy looked at Slayer and gave a slight chuckle, to which made Slayer raise an eyebrow in curiosity.

Soejammy: Heh. Who fuckin' knows... This is the world of Disney as we know it. But from us interacting here, we've done nothing, but lie as well. More from me mostly in making them think I was an all-knowing prophet or psychic.

Slayer: Who the hell hasn't told a lie at least once? At least your lie was to help everyone, not just for selfish reasons.

Soejammy: Maybe. Doesn't change the fact that the timeline of Kingdom Hearts is being changed. Makes one really wonder if this really is all real. The magic, other dimensions. Everything here. Feels like they could go away in an instant.

Slayer looked at Soejammy and rested against a wall.

Slayer: Maybe. But we don't live in this universe, brother. And frankly, I rather be home sleeping.

Soejammy: I thought it was to work on stories?

Slayer: You, mother-!

Soejammy: Chill out, dude.

Having his back towards Slayer, Soejammy uses his ice magic and encases Slayer in a block of ice. Slayer was stuck in his speech as he made a funny angry face from his rage.

Soejammy: Ha. Gottem.

Soejammy was about to walk away, when more Shadows began to appear and looked around and saw them begin to slink towards Slayer as Soejammy made an annoyed look on his face.

Soejammy: God damn it.

Casting fire magic, the flames attack the Heartless along with hitting Slayer in the block of ice as his hair is now frizzled.

Slayer: Damn it, Jammy! You ruined my perfect hair!

Soejammy: Who said your hair was neat to begin with?

Slayer growled as Soejammy sighed as he headed to the Third District.

Location: Third District

Entering the district, Soejammy began looking around as he thundered the enemies to make them vanish before leaning against the rail. Slayer caught up with Soejammy as he looked at him.

Slayer: Dude. Pick a spot to relax and talk man!

Soejammy: Like what?

Slayer: How about all that has HAPPENED today since you exploded about Donald??? What is up with you about that???

Mini-Nep jumped out of the pocket and climbed to be on Soejammy's head and rested to listen to what Soejammy had to say.

Soejammy: It's the fact that Donald is a compulsive liar and user to just get his way. All he cared about after meeting us was to look out for Goofy and himself to search for their King. First chance they would have taken, would have been leaving us on a world had King Mickey not given the order to "seek out the Key." That's the ONLY reason why they were with us after leaving Traverse Town the first time. Just because he's a "Court Wizard", his title means NOTHING out in the real world!!

Soejammy's voice echoed out when saying that last part.

Slayer: Trust me when I say this, but Donald REALLY got an earful earlier. Beat left, Kitty left with Chibi, it was a huge fallout. Even Sora was hurt by this.

Soejammy: Yeah, well... I rather the truth comes out rather than being lied to for most of the journey and being betrayed when shit hits the fan. With Donald, he didn't care who got hurt as long as his King was safe. Pretentious prick doesn't know when to stop being selfish.

Slayer: But you do know how to show him up. Especially with chilling, shocking and roasting. All things you've done figuratively and QUITE literally.

Soejammy: Someone had to shut him up. Because if he got away with whatever he said, he would walk all over us. And I wasn't going to take it from him during this adventure. Team me up with ANYONE! I rather THAT than the duck.

???: Gee. And here I thought you were the tougher one.

Looking up above, Riku could be seen sitting on the edge of a balcony.

Soejammy: Riku??? How long have you been there???

Riku: I saw you and scrawny here in the other district when I heard "Damn it, Jammy! You ruined my perfect hair!"

Slayer: OH, COME ON!!!

Soejammy: Eh, I troll Beat all the time when playing games. One time on Xenoverse 2, I had my CaC character with no equipment, no QQbang, just the Holstein Shock, Body Change and forced him to have the most unusable body while I got all the skills from him. It was HILARIOUS!

Slayer looked at Soejammy with an annoyed look on his face.

Slayer: You are the definition of Sadism... I hope you know that...

Soejammy: I know I am, what are you~?

Slayer: I'm just going to stay quiet...

Soejammy: Yes you should.

Riku: What are you two even talking about? More importantly, where is Sora? Do you know if Kairi is with you?

Soejammy looked back up to Riku as he began to explain.

Soejammy: Yeah. Sora is... Somewhere around Traverse Town right now. Not sure where. All I know is that I leave the group for a hot minute and then Slayer, my meme lord friend-

Slayer: I take great pride in that!!

Soejammy: -comes to me after a debacle of an argument that happened. Now I'm just trying to cool off my head before I begin trying to look for everyone. Speaking of keeping a cool head, my hourly frozen hair is scheduled.

Soejammy then casted ice magic to his hair as his whole hair had been frozen with Soejammy having a satisfied look on his face.

Soejammy: Love frozen hair~ Keeps me cooled down~

Slayer looked at Soejammy and sighed.

Slayer: You just keep getting weirder to be with, Jammy...

Soejammy: Says you. I've been weird from the start. I don't mind being weird as it keeps me happy and focused.

Slayer: AAAAAAAAnd I'm just going to stop talking about it.

Soejammy: That be very wise of you.

Riku: Hey! Sora, Kairi. Can we FOCUS on that?

Soejammy: Oh, right. Sorry. Um... We don't know where Kairi is. We're trying to look for her along with our friends as well.

Riku tilted his head as he inquired about this to Soejammy.

Riku: So, wait, this guy is your friend?

Slayer: Wait, did you think I was just some random guy Soejammy met???

Riku: Well...

Riku stayed quiet as it prompted Slayer to yell at Riku.

Slayer: EXCUSE YOU, SIR!!! Soejammy, tell this guy we've been friends for a long time now!!

Soejammy: Huh? I "LITERALLY" just "MET" you just now~

Slayer: YOOOOOOOU SON OF A BIIIIIIIIIITCH!!!

Soejammy: Nah. Just joking. Like Slayer, we found two others that are our friends in other worlds so far. Beat, the guy I just talked about and Chibi. We found Chibi as King of the Apes in this one world.

Slayer looked at Soejammy with a shocked expression.

Slayer: HE WAS WHAT!?

Soejammy: He was King of the Apes. He apparently beat Kerchack in a duel and became King of the Apes. Communicated with them too.

Slayer looked at Soejammy with a stare and pointed at him.

Slayer: You're messing with me now, aren't you.

Soejammy: I'm telling you the truth!!!

Slayer: THAT'S WHAT SOMEONE LYING WOULD SAY!!!

Soejammy: I AM NOT LYING!!!

Riku sighed as he looked at the two before jumping down to stop the delay.

Riku: Okay. But have you found Kairi in ANY of the worlds you've been to??? Wait, "worlds"??? You've been to other worlds so far???

Soejammy looked at Riku and gave a sad expression.

Soejammy: We haven't found your friend. But we were fortunate to have a ship commandeered here to search so far. It's a slow process, sure. But even while looking for our friends and Kairi, the worlds are... Disappearing...

Riku: Huh? "Disappearing"? What's that got to do with finding Kairi???

Soejammy: Riku. There are some things... You should know what is going on. Especially with that Witch that is taking care of you.

Riku widened his eyes as he looked at Soejammy.

Riku: H-Huh? What are you talking about?

Slayer: Uh, what Witch are you talking about Jammy?

Soejammy: Riku. I want you to be honest with me. When I say "honest", I mean COMPLETELY honest with me. No half-truths, no lies, the WHOLE truth. I'll know when you're hiding something from me, and I want you to trust me back. DO you trust me?

Riku looked at Soejammy as he sighed.

Riku: Ever since we met you on the island... I was kind of suspicious of you and Kitty. You two just showed up out of nowhere. Even like Kairi back then. It was... Strange. When Sora and I fought you, you held nothing back despite meeting us for the first time. You countered and parried us in reading our attacks. You've even helped build the raft with us and helped shorten the work time needed to get everything ready. Why did you do all of that?

Soejammy: Honestly, I was just happy being somewhere else. I hardly got to explore places on my own. Limited to do most things really. Kinda had a hard time growing up when I was your age and... Had to do some stuff to mature as well... Unlike you, I didn't get as many chances as you, Sora or Kairi do. Left me... "Envious" in a way...

Riku was stunned by the answer Soejammy gave while Slayer looked at Soejammy.

Soejammy: Just being able to experience all of this, a new world, a new chance... It's like one of those anime in an Isekai show. And honestly... I'm just glad to be on this adventure. I know I can die at any point, but being here just fills me with joy wanting to seek the danger... Even when having this Keyblade...

Soejammy then brought out Oblivion into his hands and showed Riku it.

Soejammy: This Keyblade holds many regrets along with a heavy burden. Sure, I have the strength... But from what I hear, worlds are disappearing... And the Keyblade is the only thing keeping the many worlds we travel to safe from the Heartless.

Riku: Wait, "Heartless"? "Disappearing"??? What's that all got to do with the Keyblade???

Soejammy: The Heartless aren't just meant to take the hearts of people... If they find a Keyhole to the heart of the world, such as this place, that heart will be devoured. With the heart gone, so too will everyone in the world as well.

Riku widened his eyes as if realizing something when told of what happens to a world.

Riku: No... That... That can't be what happens to a world...

Soejammy: Riku. What do you know about a world?

Riku: I... A world is just one in many other places. A shut door is just another way of going somewhere. To travel to another world.

Soejammy: And let me guess, you thought by opening a door or gate, you could always return to it whenever you found the way?

Riku began to sweat as he looked away from Soejammy.

Soejammy: Riku... The Heartless, the Darkness that was at Destiny Islands... What do you think happened that caused Sora, Kitty, and I to appear here and begin traveling...?

Riku looked at Soejammy as a deep calmness and emptiness was in his eyes. Soejammy wasn't even trying to joke around at this point as Riku placed his foot down. Riku shut his eyes and held his head in trying to ignore what was being said to him.

Riku: No! You're wrong! Destiny Islands is still there! It has to-

Soejammy: OPEN YOUR DAMN EYES!!!

Riku was startled by Soejammy yelling at him as the same matured and coldness in Soejammy's eyes were still there.

Soejammy: Destiny Islands, is gone... Because of the Darkness, because of the Heartless... The three of us were only fortunate to make it here... Anyone else... They were GONE to the Darkness... Riku... I gain NOTHING... By lying to you.

Riku looked at Soejammy as tears soon began to fall from him as Riku backed up and leaned against the wall.

Riku: If you're telling the truth... Our home... Our Island... My family...

Soejammy: All gone... Riku... They're gone...

Riku had a deep look in his eyes as he rested against the wall and hit against the wall with the bottom of his closed fist.

Riku: No... This wasn't meant to happen... That guy...! He said that-

Soejammy: What "guy", Riku? I never said anything about anyone.

Riku widened his eyes and covered his mouth. Soejammy walked up to Riku and got onto one knee.

Soejammy: Who are you talking about? Did someone convince you to do something?

Riku looked at Soejammy, but before anything else was said, Soejammy was attacked by a green flame that caused him to crash into the doors that led to the Second District.

Soejammy: AUGH!!!

Slayer: JAMMY!!!

Looking at the green flames, Soejammy knew who attacked him.

Soejammy: Very sneaky to attack me while I talked to Riku, Maleficent...

Over the balcony, Maleficent stood on a floating stone as she looked down at Soejammy, Slayer, and Riku.

Maleficent: Very calm of you to address me, wielder of the Key.

Soejammy: Considering you're the type to appear suddenly? Doesn't surprise me in the sort.

Maleficent: Should have figured. You do seem to have knowledge about EVERYTHING to know about. Almost as if you KNEW Riku opened the door you're talking about.

Riku looked at Soejammy and then Maleficent as Riku got up and looked at Maleficent.

Riku: Hey! Stop! You said you wouldn't hurt them!

Maleficent: "Hurt"? That was merely a "lovetap" as one would put it.

Riku was going to summon out his weapon, when Soejammy got in front of him to be between Riku and Maleficent.

Soejammy: What do you want? I was having a peaceful talk with Riku, and then you tried to set me up in flames.

Maleficent: I came here because of your interference AND why that man appeared. He may have the same goal in helping us, but he mostly focuses on YOU wherever you go.

Soejammy: Yeah. I keep hearing that someone took over your position as "High Villain of the Council", which honestly, could have been a better one. You're not even worth my time at all. If I had to say, you're a 3rd rate villain, running a 4th rate team.

Maleficent swung her staff to send her green flames at Soejammy as he casted Blizzard to cancel them out.

Soejammy: Not to mention, predictable~ Now, for the main subject at hand...

Growing serious, Soejammy stabbed Oblivion to the concrete and looked at the Witch floating in the air.

Soejammy: WHY are you here and talking to me?

Maleficent could sense Soejammy not wanting to joke around now as she got serious in her tone.

Maleficent: You seem to know most of what has been going on. Every WORLD you have been to has been nothing, but accurate of how to go, how to deal with problems, and know what enemies you face. Nothing surprises you. Your combat prowess is better than the girl and boy that wields their own Keys. You, however, are quite adept at magic and physical combat.

Soejammy: Get to the point, Witch. Flattery will get you nowhere, except brown-nosing to boost my own ego.

Maleficent: What I'm trying to say is, the person who is targeting you, has the same information of knowing where you will go. I find it to be... Useful and worrying for my own goals.

Soejammy: And you want me to get rid of this guy, is that what you're saying???

Maleficent: Well, I'm glad I didn't have to lay that out for someone like you.

Soejammy began to chuckle as he picked up Oblivion to swing before resting it on his shoulder.

Soejammy: Lady, you MUST be crazy if you're coming to ask me. Not to mention asking in front of Riku. Need I explain that the Heartless is under YOUR command along with your lackeys? Because if that hasn't been cleared up, I think that should be now said. Don't you think? Oh, and before we get to the main topic, the Heartless don't just steal the Heart of Worlds. They target the Hearts of PEOPLE as well.

Riku looked at Soejammy and then Maleficent.

Riku: No! Maleficent! Is what he says true? Are the Heartless responsible for why I was taken to your world!? Is my home gone because of the Heartless!?

Maleficent looked at Riku before focusing back to Soejammy.

Maleficent: Whatever could this man-

Before another word was said, a Fireball was launched that Maleficent had to repel with her own magic. Maleficent looked at Soejammy as he was the one to cast it at her.

Soejammy: Lies.

Riku looked shocked when Soejammy attacked Maleficent before she could speak.

Soejammy: You better tell the truth, or I'll make sure the next shot is more powerful than what you can repel. Look me in the eyes if you think I'm joking.

Maleficent frowned in hearing Soejammy proclaim as the seriousness in his eyes told her he wasn't joking.

Maleficent: I may have control of the Heartless, that is true. How they seek Hearts is their own ways of doing things. We gather hearts because we wish to find the Princesses of Heart. From what I know, there are Seven Princesses of Heart. Hearts full of pure light that not one spec of darkness is in them. We are searching for them.

Soejammy: And is that why you took Alice? Because she is one of those Princesses?

Maleficent: Now why-

Soejammy prepared another Fireball at the tip of his Keyblade and showed a glare at her. Maleficent thought it was best to not toy around anymore and stay on track.

Maleficent: Yes. We took her from the world you were at when you saved your friend. What was his name... "Beat" was it?

Soejammy: Yeah. Had a suspicion it was you lot. Alice couldn't just disappear out of a cage. She isn't a magician, but she does tend to draw the wrong crowds.

Maleficent: And what about you? The man that is forcing my syndicate to target you whenever they see the chance, is even the one responsible for creating those vortexes. Now you have a way of rewinding time and the girl to fly.

Soejammy: Now we're getting somewhere. Actual information I can learn of. Hades sure wasn't useful. Glad I could freeze him solid.

Maleficent: Indeed. You froze a God of Death in an ice that even he is having trouble getting out of still.

Soejammy: Pffft. Ha! But going past that, you're trying to change the subject. Nice try though, I will give you that.

Maleficent smirked as she found this talk of some pleasure instead of an annoyance now.

Maleficent: True. But like you said, back on the main topic why I'm here. This person is by far someone that has knowledge of where our meetings were, how they track you and even dare focus on you when given the chance. He greatly despises you to the point that I am indeed now having to follow his orders too. Even your little "friends" as well.

Slayer looked at Maleficent with a tick mark on his head.

Slayer: Wooooooooow. You said that in a way like you aren't even interested in us at all...

Maleficent: Sorry, was I talking to you?

Slayer growled in anger as his eyes had a flaming rage in them. Soejammy kept the topic in line of wanting answers.

Soejammy: Who is he? I'm getting tired of people going around and saying that someone is after my head and knows of my capabilities. NO ONE should know who I am. Even my friends.

Maleficent: He goes by the name... "Chronos".

Soejammy widened his eyes as he looked at Maleficent while wielding Oblivion in a tight fist.

Soejammy: "Chronos"!? Metal suit, singular red eye, dual swords he carries on his back and instantly appears in front of you "Chronos"!?

Maleficent: I believe you two are acquainted then?

Soejammy: More than you know. It's even to a point that HE shouldn't even be here.

Slayer looked at Soejammy as he made something known out loud.

Slayer: "Chronos"??? You mean the guy in your book???

Soejammy: Yeah. THAT Chronos. Tch...

Maleficent: What's this mention of a "book"?

Soejammy: None of your DAMN business. Why is Chronos here, is he the reason those vortexes happened?!

Maleficent: Yes. He created 4 disks, in fact the same disks that even you and the girl have now.

Soejammy: Let me guess, he told you to come here and use Riku to kill me? Kill me when I wasn't expecting it?

Maleficent: It was tempting to be honest. Not to mention that Keyblade wielders have been nothing, but trouble to me in the past.

Soejammy looked at Maleficent in anger while keeping an eye on her.

Soejammy: Yeah, I'm sure Terra, Aqua, and Ventus would be happy to know the mighty Witch is being taken down a peg or two from all of this.

Riku and Maleficent were now surprised to hear those names, Ventus on the other hand being unknown to Riku from not meeting him.

Maleficent: HOW DO YOU KNOW THOSE NAMES!?

Soejammy: You're speaking to the guy that knows everything. Get used to it.

Maleficent wanted to wipe the smirk on Soejammy's face, but knew she wanted Chronos dead more than Soejammy.

Maleficent: As much as I want to be rid of you myself for knowing those three that foiled my plans in my world, I need you more to handle Chronos.

Soejammy: I see, you're here to use me for your own selfish scheme to take back control of your people. Oh, boy. This must be a joke considering you NEVER ask for help.

Maleficent: I WOULD HANDLE HIM IF I COULD!!! But even if I did, you seem to know more about Chronos, giving you a better way of how you can handle him.

Soejammy: Maybe. But what about you? I bet Chronos is watching as we speak and can tell he ISN'T happy about you telling me of his existence here.

Maleficent: The better question I would like to ask is, HOW do you know Chronos when I only mentioned him once?

Soejammy looked at Maleficent as she knew she tricked him in sharing that information with him on purpose to expose and trick Soejammy into losing his cool.

Soejammy: Because I dealt with him in the past. I thought I was through with him, but that doesn't seem to be the case now, does it?

Maleficent: A common enemy, for a common reason. Wouldn't you agree?

Soejammy: I hate you as much as you tricking Riku to be your pawn. But I hate Chronos even more than you.

Maleficent: Then, would this mean there is a chance to work together?

Soejammy chuckled and looked Maleficent dead in the eyes.

Soejammy: Not on your green skin of a life, you Witch. You don't think I know what you're doing? As soon as my usefulness comes to an end, you'll discard any truce or way to keep my friends and I safe.

Maleficent: But surely you know how dangerous Chronos is given your personal history with him based on what you said.

Soejammy: Trust me, you have NO idea what Chronos is capable of. I'm not even sure how much Chronos is holding back given he could have killed you multiple times. Believe me when I tell you this, you're going to want to disappear and not even commit to ANYTHING until you want something. Because he WILL know where you are, and I suggest you hide and not do anything until you can't sense Chronos anymore. Trust me, he WILL know where you go should you not be careful.

Maleficent looked at Soejammy as there was a seriousness in his eyes that lit up in the mention of Chronos to him. Sensing a deep hatred along with knowing what Chronos can do.

Maleficent: Fine. But I'm leaving Riku here. It wasn't right to keep him there under Chronos' control. Should Chronos have had the chance, he wouldn't have been as kind to take failures as I would have.

Soejammy: Heh. Guess a heart DOES exist in a Witch that seeks to control all worlds.

Maleficent: Hold your tongue, hero of the Keyblade. This temporary truce is only active until you deal with Chronos. You are nowhere even close to handling him. I would suggest you get stronger and fast.

Soejammy: Just get out of here already! You're wasting my time as is in telling me what I should be doing anyway!

With taking the hint, Maleficent soon disappears as Riku rushed from behind Soejammy to call out to her, but to no avail.

Riku: Maleficent! WAIT!

With Maleficent gone, Riku was left in Traverse Town with no ways to go to other worlds.

Riku: I... I can't believe all of this...

Soejammy: I'm sorry, Riku. But this was the truth... About EVERYTHING you had to hear.

Riku leaned against the rail before looking at Soejammy in the eyes with what had happened.

Riku: No more secrets. Tell me how you know all of this. From Terra, to now. How do you know so much???

Soejammy looked at Slayer with instructions.

Soejammy: Slayer, go find the others. I have... A lot of explaining to do.

Slayer: Jammy, are you sure this is wise...?

Soejammy: Chronos is here. I didn't think it was possible at all. If he's here, we're better off having EVERYONE here. There's too much risk in all of this. I know Maleficent, she wouldn't dare make herself known unless it was to proclaim to make a truce against a powerful enemy. And before you ask, yes... Get the duck too.

Slayer nodded his head as he began rounding up everyone they knew while Riku looked at Soejammy.

Riku: Jammy... Just WHO are you...?

Soejammy: Well... You're about to find out... Haaaa...

Later...

Location: Small House.

Once everyone had been gathered along with those they knew, Soejammy's friends were shocked to hear of Chronos having been heard of being in this universe. For the rest, Riku included for he wasn't with Maleficent now, they were shocked with what they heard.

Leon: Wait... Wait a moment. You're telling us, you and your friends aren't even from this universe?

Soejammy: That's what I'm saying. In fact, the enemies in the Persian world or those from Skyworld, weren't in this universe originally.

Yuffie: And that whole debacle of being a "psychic"???

Soejammy: Made up. I was using information previously to me as in my universe... This whole quest is based on a video game. A video game from my childhood that holds a special place in my heart. But when I began to see blood, this wasn't the game. Meaning death is real in this universe. The history and story of everyone here... Is real.

Aerith looked at Soejammy as she spoke up next.

Aerith: I don't know why, but when I first met you and Kitty... I felt there was something... Off. I didn't focus on that as I knew you two were genuine in who you were deep down.

Donald: I KNEW YOU WEREN'T PSYCHIC!!! I KNEW IT WAS ALL TALK!!!

Donald yelled out as he then approached Soejammy in his fuss.

Donald: All those times you said you had a feeling, you were making it all up!!!

Soejammy: At least I didn't lie to those I worked with, actually wanting to search for their friends!! I knew Maleficent and Riku would be here when we got back! That's why I came to the Third District alone, but Slayer found me before I could!!

Leon, Yuffie, Aerith and Cid looked at Soejammy in shock.

Leon: You met with Maleficent!?

Yuffie: You're either crazy or- Oh, what am I saying... You WOULD do something like that!!

Soejammy: At least you're honest, unlike a certain Duck.

Donald: WILL YOU LET GO OF THAT ALREADY!?

Soejammy: Never. You're still on my bad side, Duck.

Donald became red and was about to shout, when Soejammy instantly froze him.

Soejammy: Can we please continue BEFORE the duck thaws??? I'd rather explain EVERYTHING while I still can without my eardrums bursting...

Leon: Please. I was getting tired and wanted to roast him for causing this mess in the first place.

Soejammy: Finally, someone sees my point about the duck.

Thinking about what he wanted to say, Soejammy continued to speak.

Soejammy: I came here to the Third District to gather information because I KNEW Riku and Maleficent would be here. Before, if we went to Merlin's house, if we got the gem from Leon.

Leon: Yeah. I gave a gem to Kitty while I was talking to Cid in the Accessory Shop.

Soejammy: What you gave to Kitty, is a Summon Stone. A mystical artifact of a soul of one who withstood being swallowed up in the darkness when they lost their world. That stone holds Simba. A red maned and orange furred lion.

Kitty's eyes brightened up when hearing that as her tail began to sway in wanting to summon Simba. Soejammy could see the shine in Kitty's eyes as he huffed slightly.

Soejammy: Like stray cats, they always come in a flock...

Hearing this, Kitty puffed her cheeks as she looked at Soejammy.

Kitty: What the heck is that supposed to mean??

Soejammy whistled as he turned his back to Kitty.

Soejammy: Nothing in any particular way~!

Kitty: You meant it in some sort of way, I know you did!!

Soejammy: And what proof do you have that I did?

Kitty: The huff, and the tone of how you said it! Also, I know you by now that whenever you say something, you always mean it in some sort of way!

Soejammy: Nooooooooo. What eveeeeeer do you meeeeeeeeean?

Soejammy began to chuckle under his breath while looking at Kitty. This caused Kitty's cheeks to be puffed more from the sarcastic tone.

Kitty: Haha. Very. Funny!

Soejammy was going to say something, but Cid slammed his hand down on the table.

Cid: CAN YOU GET ON TO THE POINT!? YOU'RE WASTIN' MY TIME FIXIN' YOUR SHIP!!!

Soejammy: Okay, okay! Haaaaaa... Where was I? Can someone tell me where I left off?

Yuffie: You said about Maleficent and Riku, then talked about the gem Leon had.

Soejammy: Ah, right. Yeah. Okay. So, short story, this universe's timeline is basically the same as the one back in my world, but now that we, my friends and myself, there are MAJOR differences now. And that even means my knowledge of this Universe is getting LESS and LESS as we speak.

Leon: So, to get this right, you have knowledge about everything about our world. But now it's becoming less than before because of changes due to you and your friends being here?

Soejammy: Not to mention Chronos, who now leads the group Maleficent was supposed to have control of, is causing roadblocks by throwing us into wormholes created using these.

Soejammy then showed his disk that held the Dagger of Time in.

Soejammy: After we completed one of them, I gained a way to rewind time, and Kitty got one too which allows her to fly. Though, she won't use hers.

Kitty: Never said anything about not using it! Just... See no reason to have to use it.

Soejammy looks at Kitty as he then to the others.

Soejammy: Yeah, there are going to be times when Kitty will have to use it.

Kitty: At least you got a skill you can use easily without fear!

Soejammy: That's because I told you to practice it when we have time! I can't use mine due to having a limited supply of times I can rewind time!!

Kitty: Oh sure, make it sound so easy to just FLY AROUND and keep track of time so you don't become roasted after five minutes!!

Soejammy: That's why you need to practice it and use it in battle to get used to keeping track of time! Or at least set a timer to allow yourself to know when time is running out!!

Kitty: Where the heck do we have a timer? Or an alarm clock? Or a watch? Or even a phone to set a timer in a battle?!

Soejammy groaned as he looked at Kitty.

Soejammy: Have you even TRIED to use it and see if a timer appears when you use it!?

Kitty: No and don't plan to use the disk!

Soejammy: UGH!!!

Leon: ENOUGH!!!

Leon shouted and looked at the two with an annoyed look.

Leon: Will you two stop acting like you're kids!? We're trying to figure out what our plans are from here on out!!!

Goofy: But the only one who has any idea what might have happened is Jammy, and with all these changes we have no idea what to even plan for.

Soejammy: And I would have something in mind, if SOMEONE gave a chance to use the new ability to see what they can do.

A tick mark was seen on Kitty's forehead as she debated whether to show how much she "loved" the idea of using the abilities with claws or not.

Kitty: WHEN HAS THERE BEEN A CHANCE?! We even walk out of a building and what do we have waiting for us? HEARTLESS OR ENEMIES!

Soejammy: What about Merlin's House when we were practicing our magic? Hmm? Was that not a good place to practice? Not to mention a place where the house was surrounded by a cavern of WATER.

Kitty: "If she can't fight physically, she can help by casting magic from afar", YOUR exact words! Magic, as if the lightning, fire and healing we can use. Not an ability, magic!

Soejammy: And you can use magic, WHILE flying!

Kitty: Easy for you to say!! You got a dagger that you just have to be careful not to run out of sand on, much easier than flying!!

Soejammy: I'm willing to be there to help you learn your new abilities, but you're letting "What could go wrong" get to you!

Kitty: So sorry that has been my mindset most of my damn life and prefer keeping my head down to just get through! So sorry for having fears!!

Soejammy looked at Kitty and groaned before getting up and stopping at the door.

Soejammy: The next Keyhole is in the Second District here. We have to ring the bell from the Gizmo Show in order to reveal the Keyhole at the fountain. There, an old enemy returns and becomes much stronger. Be ready or not, because I'm not waiting.

Soejammy opened the door and closed it with a slam. Aerith got up and yelled for Soejammy.

Aerith: Jammy! Wait!!

Aerith's cries fell on deaf ears as Soejammy was on his way towards where he was going. The others were silent in seeing Soejammy leave the room with Donald crossing his arms and giving a huff.

Donald: Gooooood riddance!

Sora looked at Donald with Riku doing the same.

Sora: DONALD!!

Donald: What?! He's just as much, if not a BIGGER liar than anyone else here! He bribed his way in using fake abilities to get him on board! Not to mention how he knew EXACTLY how events played out!!

Sora: At least Jammy was HELPING to search for Riku and Kairi! We found his friends in different worlds! Jammy and Kitty gave me hope to find Riku and Kairi! I'm not going to just ignore what he did to keep not just myself, but all of us safe when he meant it!

Riku looked at Sora with a shocked look.

Riku: Jammy and Kitty really were helping??

Sora: Yeah! Jammy may have told a half lie about being someone who can see the future, but if he knows where we can find Kairi, I follow him considering he's fought the Heartless with us!! Not to mention saved us on multiple occasions!!

Riku was going to say something, but then the bell from the Gizmo Shop began to ring once, then twice and then a third time. The bell was being rung by Soejammy in the Second District as he was being serious about not waiting for the others to follow him.

Sora: And now Jammy is going in there by himself with how everything is now at stake here! He is not just fighting for himself or Kitty! He's trying to keep US safe from facing something that could have changed!

Beat: There's no way we can just let him fight alone! We need to help big bro!

Saying this, Beat immediately rushed out of the door to get to the Gizmo Shop quickly.

Yuffie: Is almost EVERYONE from Soejammy's group that crazy to rush in!?

Slayer: Standing right here, not really caring. But, considering Jammy saved me from being stuck at a never-ending fight at a coliseum when I wasn't even planning for it, I might as well go too.

Slayer soon began to head for the Second District as he stopped at the door and looked at Kitty.

Slayer: Regardless of what Jammy said... Having the ability to fly is pretty awesome, Kitty. It makes you more versatile to move around and keep out of enemy danger, considering there aren't many Heartless that can fly. Even when there is, it's very difficult to even face when you're constantly stuck on the ground. Jammy isn't trying to upset you. He's trying to expand your ways of trying to see opportunities. Because what good is it being on an adventure, without some form of risk involved? And with having someone that can fly on command? If someone was falling from up high, only you can save them with your flight.

Slayer said to Kitty as he then left to head to the Gizmo Shop in a calm manner. Everyone in the room was on edge as no one decided to leave next to follow after Soejammy.

Location: Second District

After Soejammy rang the bell three times, he had begun the fight with the revived Guard Armor as it had appeared for the Keyhole to Traverse Town. Soejammy was blocking and dodging attacks from the Heartless. When striking at the Heartless again, Soejammy saw the Guard Armor collapse as it pretended to be dead.

Soejammy: Now... To wait for-

???: Awwww what!? You beat the Heartless already!? I was just about to help you!

Soejammy looked behind him to see Beat standing there with his hands on his head.

Beat: Oh well, at least it won't get back up. Go ahead and-

Soejammy looked at the Guard Armor and then to Beat as he yelled at him.

Soejammy: Didn't you hear what I said!? It's more powerful than it was before!!

Beat looked at Soejammy before the Guard Armor rattled to get back up. It then thrusted its hands to the ground as it began to reposition itself with the torso of the Armor flipping upside down, the hands becoming the feet and the feet becoming the arms. The feet then folded to become a different pair of hands and the helmet opened to show the eyes in it.

Soejammy and Beat looked at the Armor as it had now become: Opposite Armor.

Beat: Okay, not gonna lie, it looks stupid. Like, more stupid than what I saw moments ago.

Soejammy: IS THAT THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO YOUR MIND!?

Beat: Yes. Yes it is.

Soejammy didn't even get a word in before the new feet on the Opposite Armor swung right into him and launched him down the road. Beat saw this happen as he took a step back. Soejammy got in front of Beat with his Oblivion raised.

Soejammy: Beat! Get out of here!

Beat: But I just got here! I'm here to help you!

Soejammy: I said GO!!

Soejammy looked at Beat with his anger skyrocketing, the power of darkness surging with his anger as Beat looked at him and raised his hands.

Beat: I'm getting Kitty!!!

Beat began to leave as the Opposite Armor was about to chase after the young Saiyan. When it tried, Soejammy used his darkness to grab at the Opposite Armor with a dark hand to slam it to the ground in the area.

Soejammy (Darkness): WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING!?

The Opposite Armor roared as it refocused on Soejammy. Beat ran down the alley and bumped into Slayer.

Slayer: OW! Beat?? What are you doing??? Didn't you come here to-

Beat: Big Bro! Darkness!! Kitty!!! COMMANDS!!!

Slayer looked at Beat and slapped him hard on the face while giving a straight look.

Slayer: Okay, if I'm understanding your single words... Jammy is fighting the Opposite Armor, darkness is consuming him, and you were trying to go get Kitty so she can use the bead commands on Jammy?

Beat began to nod his head fast with worried looks in his eyes. Slayer sighs at this as he then takes Beat by his collar and begins to drag him back.

Beat: HEY!! I CAN WALK YOU KNOW!!

Slayer: Yeah, but you're being such a drag right now, I have to drag your ass with me back.

A sound effect for a rimshot went off as Beat yelled up to the heavens.

Beat: AM I BEING MADE FUN OF!?

Slayer: Oh, sorry. That was my ringtone.

Slayer pulled out a phone that gave a notification of a rimshot.

Beat: Why does this happen to me!?

Slayer: When DOESN'T it is a better question...

Beat: OH, COME ON!!!

Beat said in his most shrill voice as he complained. Back at the fight with Soejammy and the Opposite Armor, Soejammy mixed his magic with darkness to make darkness laced magic to impact against the Opposite Armor. The giant Heartless then crashed into the Gizmo Shop with Soejammy lacing Oblivion in darkness to extend the blade.

Soejammy (Darkness): Feel my wrath!!

Soejammy slashed into the Opposite Armor as a dark flame burned at the hand that made up for the leg of the Heartless. It roared in pain as Soejammy looked at it.

Soejammy (Darkness): Look at you, so pathetic to be a human-made Heartless! You emblem Heartless really makes me sick!!!

Soejammy made another slice as it went against the torso this time.

Soejammy (Darkness): Such a Heartless that should be more powerful, IS NO MATCH FOR MY OWN!!!

Soejammy rushed towards the Opposite Armor to drive Oblivion into the frame of the Heartless. The enemy roared in pain as Soejammy wiggled it inside the armor.

Soejammy (Darkness): Does that hurt~? Good~ I want to make you suffer!!!

Soejammy began to charge his Oblivion with more Darkness to make the armor begin to burn from the flames.

Soejammy (Darkness): Good luck dealing with those flames~ You'll die of an agony death if I leave you~ To which I don't mind~

Soejammy looked at the Opposite Armor with a malicious smile, before a voice cried out.

???: SIT BOY!!!

Soejammy (Darkness): AUGH!!!

Falling to the ground, the Darkness around Soejammy scattered away with Kitty being there with an annoyance on her face.

Kitty: Oh, I'm sorry. What was the part about... "BEING CAREFUL FROM HERE ON"!?!? Or is this the part where EVERY warning given by Leon just ignored about NOT using the Darkness?! Because right now, it seems a lot more like the latter!!!

Soejammy: Ngh...! OW!! THE BACK OF MY HEAD HIT THE CONCRETE!!!

Kitty: Maybe that might help knock the Darkness out, or at the very least, KNOCK SOME SENSE INTO YOU!!!

Soejammy got up and walked to Kitty as he was still angry.

Soejammy: What the HELL is YOUR problem!?

Kitty: If you want honesty, it's YOU! YOU being so reckless, YOU risking losing yourself to Darkness! YOU risking your life!!! And for what?! You may be protecting people, but none of it is worth it if you're gone because of this!!!

Soejammy: You don't KNOW what I want!!

Soejammy got up as the Opposite Armor was able to recover from Soejammy's attacks earlier and roared.

Soejammy: Great... This thing is still here...

Kitty: Let's just get this thing dealt with and lock the keyhole... But this conversation is not over!!

Soejammy created a wall of ice using Oblivion to separate the others from himself and Opposite Armor. The ice stretched from the edges where the path to the Gizmo Shop was having a roof made of ice and the path to the Dalmatians blocked off. This surprised Kitty as she swung Oathkeeper against it with a clang.

Soejammy: Don't even bother getting through. That hard ice won't be breaking anytime soon.

Kitty: Why are you being SO STUBBORN!?!? What good is that going to do right now?!

Soejammy: Keeping YOU from danger. The last multitude of times we encountered a large Heartless, THEY came after you!!

Kitty: You don't even-!

Before Kitty could finish her sentence, the Opposite Armor crashed the makeshift hands it had in attempting to break the ice wall, but it only caused the area to shake from the force of the hit. It had aimed its attack at Kitty. Roaring, the Opposite Armor kept attempting to break the wall, but with no avail.

Kitty: WHY AM I ALWAYS THE TARGET!?

Slayer: Don't worry, I'll thaw out this ice and-

Soejammy: DO ONE THING TO THAT WALL, YOU LOSE THAT ARM!!!

Slayer looked at Soejammy and then at Kitty as he shrugged.

Slayer: Sorry, but I'm not going to make Jammy anymore angry than he is. That, and I feel he could end my life if I did...

Kitty shook her head as she turned away and began walking away while replying to Slayer's comment.

Kitty: Just make sure he doesn't do anything too reckless, but I'm not staying here where it's clear I'm not needed or wanted.

Slayer: You sure??? What if his darkness gets out of control???

Kitty: I doubt it's going to go out of control that quickly again... I'll just head-

The Opposite Armor backed up and crashed into the ice wall as it crashed through and smacked Beat and Slayer down the alley they came from.

Slayer: WELL, THAT SHIT HAPPENED!!!

Beat: WE'RE NOT EVEN IN THIS FIGHT AND STILL GET IN TROUBLE!!

The Opposite Armor then charged towards Kitty as it soon grabbed her with its makeshift hands.

Kitty: AAAHHH!!!

Soejammy: KITTY!!!

Kitty: I'm fine! Just make sure Beat and Slayer are okay after the crash!

The Opposite Armor then took flight as it then took Kitty to the First District.

Soejammy: NO!! Augh!!

Soejammy quickly went over to heal Slayer and Beat with Cure.

Soejammy: You two okay?!

Slayer: Yeah... Just feeling that blow was all...

Beat: I'm going to murder that thing!!!

Soejammy: Get the others! I need to go help Kitty, now!!

Soejammy then left Slayer and Beat as they began to get the others and guide them to the First District.

Location: First District

Within the First District while the others were being gathered to come here, a panicked voice and a voice of reason was at war screaming in Kitty's mind with the current situation. Trying to lessen the panic and listen to the voice of reason, Kitty listened to both and tried to think of how to get out of the Opposite Armor's grip. Glancing at Oathkeeper in her hand, she smiled and sighed in relief from having the magic practice as she focused on creating a fireball. When it was big enough, Kitty prayed with all her might that this would not backfire at all as she aimed Oathkeeper at the center of the grip and released the fireball to create a small explosion. Luckily it worked as the Opposite Armor's grip was loosened enough to manage to slip out of, Kitty bent her legs to avoid falling onto the ground as she got some distance between her and the Opposite Armor.

Kitty: Okay, step one is complete, getting out that death grip. Step two of the plan... Make a plan and fast!

The Opposite Armor roared out in recovering fast as it soon rushed in at Kitty again. Kitty closed her eyes this time as fear froze her in place, but the attack never came. When opening her eyes, she could see Soejammy was holding back an attack from the Heartless.

Kitty: Jammy!?

Soejammy: First rule of combat: DON'T close your eyes!!

Soejammy pushed against the attack to make it crash to the ground instead. Regaining his stance, Soejammy glared at the Opposite Armor.

Soejammy: Second rule: Don't give your enemy breathing room!! Lightning Judgment!!

Soejammy then raised his Oblivion into the air and called forth a burst of lightning to crash down onto the Opposite Armor and stun it.

Soejammy: Third rule: Plan your strategy three steps ahead of your opponent!!

Soejammy gripped his Oblivion to rush towards the Opposite Armor as it recovered fast. Preparing to pull back, it was about to swing its feet, when Soejammy casted his Blizzard to trap the feet in place. This caused the upper body to look what happened as Soejammy jumped to stab at the torso of the armor again. Soejammy growled as he pushed Oblivion in further. The Opposite Armor then roared as it soon began to ascend skyward, bringing Soejammy with it. Kitty looked into the sky and widened her eyes seeing Soejammy still on it.

Kitty: Jammy! Get down from there!!

Soejammy couldn't hear Kitty at the time as he had to keep a grip on his Oblivion and keep it lodged in.

Soejammy: Ngh...! Damnable Heartless! What's next!? Charge your damn laser cannon?!

Suddenly stopping and changing positions, Soejammy was clinging onto the armor with his hand now as the Opposite Armor had shifted to its cannon mode and began to charge up a beam.

Soejammy: Me and my damn mouth.

Looking at the beam it was charging, it looked like it was intended to finish off Soejammy without wanting his heart. Looking at this, Soejammy looked down below as everyone was trying to search for him.

Soejammy: Listen here, you little shit. I'm not planning on dying today by anyone's attack. If I die, I'm doing it my way!!!

Reversing the grip on Oblivion, Soejammy began to charge the tip with fire magic and pour all his magic into it. The Opposite Armor was almost ready to fire its blast as Soejammy couldn't keep stalling for more time.

Soejammy: EAT THIS, YOU BASTARRRRRRRD!!!

Soejammy then thrusted Oblivion's tip into the Opposite Armor's charged sphere as the two attacks collided from in the armor. When the attacks instantly crash into each other, a big explosion could be heard and seen as waves of gust could be felt as they looked and saw the explosion that was in the sky. Sora looked as he seemed to have been shocked by what happened. Riku was stunned by seeing such power behind that attack. Leon had his hand to his eyes as to curse himself for seeing this happen without helping. Kitty, however, looked to the sky as a few tears rolled down her cheeks.

Kitty: Wh-Why am I crying...? Why am I crying for him...?

Donald was going to say something after all that had happened, but he suddenly quacked as he pointed to the sky.

Donald: Look!

Looking up, the others saw something exit out of the smoke cloud. Something was tumbling down in the smoke as it was soon revealed to be Soejammy!

Goofy: Look! There he is!!

Soejammy was still falling as he wasn't doing anything to recover from his constant fall as Beat looked happy, but then worried.

Beat: Hey. Jammy isn't slowing down... He's not slowing down!!

Slayer: That blast must've knocked him out!

Sora: What do we do!? We have to-

Sora was cut off as everyone seeing what happened next was stunned into silence while watching what happened next. Not even knowing why, despite the fear of heights, something drove Kitty into inserting the disk into her chest for the power of flight as more tears were rolling down her cheeks along with a pair of pegasus wings appearing on her back. Not even checking to see if there was any timer to warn her if time was running out to stop using the power, Kitty flew up into the air quickly hoping to manage to get to Soejammy in time before anything could happen to him. Flying up fast, Kitty accidentally flew past Soejammy as she began to dive back down fast. Soejammy was still out cold as Kitty's tears were flying off as she raced with her life to catch up.

Goofy: Is she going to make it!?

Leon: She HAS to.

Beat: Oh god. I can't watch...

Beat covered his eyes as Slayer looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

Slayer: Can't you FLY???

Beat widened his eyes as he yelled up.

Beat: SON OF A BITCH!!!

Before Soejammy hit against the ground, Kitty swooped in and caught him in her arms as they sailed near the ground before scraping it. This causes the two to roll against it with Kitty using herself to cushion the blow against the wall. Everyone looked at Kitty as they were shocked by what she just did as she cried and held Soejammy close to her.

Kitty: You DUMMY!! You can't just...Risk your life like that...! We can't lose you... I can't lose you...! Please wake up... Please... You have to wake up...!

Soejammy was still unconscious as he rested in Kitty's arms. There was soot, bruises, cuts, and blood crawling down from his head. More tears were rolling down Kitty's cheeks from seeing Soejammy's state like this as she looked at everyone.

Kitty: D-Does anyone have a potion to heal him? Or can someone even use Cure magic?! Please!

Coughing could be heard as Kitty was feeling movement in her arms, the one coughing, was Soejammy. He groaned as his vision was disoriented as he tried to look around.

Soejammy: Ow... Who the hell is yelling...? I'll roast the duck if it is...

Donald: I WASN'T YOU PALOOKA!!!

Soejammy: Ugh... I knew it... Ow... Everything hurts...

Soejammy was going to try moving, but he then began to smell something.

Soejammy: Wait... This smell... That smelly smell...

Soejammy began to smell more as his nose was catching something.

Soejammy: I know that smelly smell... That smell... Of cherry blossoms...

Before anything happened, Soejammy widened his eyes and raised his arms to the sky.

Soejammy: EMBRACE ME SWEET BLISS!!!

Soejammy then buried his face into Kitty's chest, regardless of who was watching as he nuzzled against Kitty. A mix of a tick mark on Kitty's forehead and a bright blush in her cheeks was seen as everyone watching this facepalmed at the sight as Leon broke the silence.

Leon: Looks like there's nothing too much to worry about...

Beat: Big bro is still alive!

Slayer: And still causing chaos wherever he goes, even after almost dying.

Soejammy kept nuzzling his face into Kitty's chest as he was making happy sounds in being this close. Kitty on the other hand, began raising her fist with the tick mark getting bigger.

Kitty: Move your head...Off my chest...And stop nuzzling it...NOW!!!

Looking at Kitty, Soejammy stared at her with a blank look. After he did, he proceeded to bury his face further in and wrap his arms around her. Despite just escaping from death, a loud bonk sound could be heard as Kitty's fist made contact onto Soejammy's head.

Kitty: I AM NOT A TEDDY BEAR OR CUSHION TO NUZZLE INTO!!

Stars could be seen from Soejammy as he fell to the ground with only two words to say.

Soejammy: Woooooooorth... It...

Donald: And things are back to normal... Great... Back to dealing with the craziness of this palooka...

Despite Donald's words, there was a sense of massive relief in the air from Soejammy still being alive as there were smiles on the group's faces. With Sora, Donald, Kitty and Soejammy feeling waves of air pass through them, they learned a new magic called Aero. A defensive spell that encircles the targeted ally to increase their defenses temporarily.

Sora: Hey! I think we just learned a new Spell!

Donald: Somehow, I feel Soejammy is going to find a way to annoy me with this...

Soejammy: Truuuuuuuuuuue...

Leon: Before anyone starts annoying Donald, there's still something to do. You defeated the Heartless, but what about the Keyhole being locked?

Sora: Oh! Right! I'll go handle it now!

Sora then heads to the Second District as he gets into position to seal the Keyhole. Once the lock had been set, Traverse Town was safe for those who lost their world to the Heartless. Sora returned to the group and explained to them about the Keyhole really being at the fountain.

Leon: If what Jammy said to all of us then is true, he KNEW of Donald trying to deceive Sora, Kitty, and Jammy himself just so he could find their King. It would have work too, if Jammy hadn't known about our universe in the first place.

Glares at Donald could be felt as the duck chuckled nervously.

Soejammy: Don't you dare be chuckling, Duck. Because of your selfish desire, you just made public enemy #1 on this team. I'd be careful what you do.

Donald: What about Goofy!?

Kitty: Unlike you, Goofy never once disagreed in wanting to visit a world. You, on the other hand, made us want to skip Tarzan's world. Had we not crashed landed, we wouldn't have found Chibi, saved the world, and found a Navigation Gummi. Does Jammy NEED to explain THAT!?

Soejammy looked at Kitty with his bandages on, his head wrapped up in them as he pretended to be a mummy.

Soejammy: Rooooooooooast Duuuuuuuuuuuuuck...

Despite the conversation being a serious topic, some giggles left Kitty seeing this with a smile, seeing Soejammy still being his usual self.

Beat: Oh, he'll be more than a roasted duck if he decides to use US again.

Soejammy: Oh, speaking of that. Chibi, Slayer, Beat. You three are staying here with Leon in Traverse Town.

Hearing this, the three looked at Soejammy as a duck sound went off. The group looked at Donald and shook his head and waved his arms.

Donald: That wasn't me!

A normal duck began walking across as it quacked on its way by. Once the other duck left, the three looked at Soejammy again.

Chibi, Slayer, and Beat: What? Why are we staying here???

Soejammy: Because if we find more of our friends, we're going to not have any accommodations to help them travel with us. We need all the space we can, and leaving you guys here under Leon's care will be much safer than traveling with us.

The three looked at each other as they couldn't deny that Soejammy has some good points, at least about the accommodation.

Chibi: I understand, but please be careful!

Slayer: Roast the duck for me whenever you get the chance too.

Donald: I heard that!

Slayer: You were meant too!

Beat: I want to help with the Heartless and fight! But.. I guess I'll just take the chance to do some training and get stronger!

Soejammy: That's the spirit, Beat. Now... We still have some stuff undone yet... But-

Soejammy looked at Riku as he seemed to be off on his own. Probably feeling guilty about making his home and friends disappear. Soejammy left out the part of Riku having sealed the fate of his world to the darkness as he didn't want to cause trouble. Slayer knew as well and stayed quiet about what had happened during the talk with Maleficent.

Soejammy: If Riku would like to join us, he can help us look for our friends and Kairi too?

Riku looked at Soejammy in surprise as Sora looked at Soejammy.

Sora: What???

Donald: You tell your friends to stay, and yet you invite ANOTHER?!

Soejammy: Riku will pull his weight. He isn't useless like SOMEONE I know.

Donald: Why do I get the feeling that sentence was for ME!?

Soejammy: Well at least someone can pick up when they're being talked about. Who else would that sentence be for?!

There was silence as no one answered that.

Soejammy: Sorry "Useless", no one is taking it.

Steam was rising out of Donald's head as his face was getting redder and redder, ready to give Soejammy a piece of his mind. But this was all completely ignored as Soejammy looked at Riku.

Soejammy: Well, would you be interested in joining us?

Riku was hesitating as Soejammy went up to him and spoke to him in private.

Soejammy: Your secret is safe with me. I'm not going to use what was talked about with Maleficent to them. The wonders of wanting to explore other worlds would make anyone blind to just anything. I know you, Riku. We're going to be leaving this place and we're going to save other worlds. Think of this as your way of wanting to fix what you started. We have time before we leave Traverse Town to begin heading off to new worlds. I'm hoping you're there for the ride.

Soejammy smiled as he broke off with Riku and looked at Kitty.

Soejammy: Okay, let's get Simba back to his good self. By that, I mean in a way to help fight the Heartless.

Kitty: Okay! But how do we do that?

Soejammy: What's the one person that gives hope and dreams? You pay a good visit to the Fairy Godmother.

Kitty: Well, that's the next destination then, back to Merlin's house.

Soejammy: Yup. And...

Soejammy then rushed up to Kitty and began to hug her and swing her around.

Soejammy: I KNEW YOU COULD FLY!!! I KNEW YOU COULD!!!

Kitty's response from the sudden hug and being swung around was to yelp and swing her legs in panic.

Kitty: PUT ME DOWN BAKA!! IT'S NOTHING THAT SPECIAL!!! AND I HAVEN'T EVEN CHECKED TO SEE ABOUT A TIMER YET TO KEEP TRACK OF HOW LONG I HAVE LEFT BEFORE I HAVE TO STOP FLYING BEFORE BURNING UP!!!

Soejammy: THEN WE ARE CHECKING WITH MERLIN NOW!!!

Soejammy then began to take Kitty as he kicked open the doors to the Third District and straight to Merlin's house. The others just watched with sweat drops as Leon asked the group a question.

Leon: How... Do you deal with this guy's behavior?

And as if this was rehearsed, everyone from Soejammy's group answered at the same time with the same words.

Everyone but Leon: Years of practice.

Location: Third District, Merlin's House.

Once at Merlin's the wizard himself was about to have some tea when-

Soejammy: MERLIN!!! GET YOU WIZARD CAP AND INDUCT SOMEONE TO HOGWARTS!!!

Kitty: Ignore the dummy Merlin! But if you have some time, and don't mind the intrusion, we could use some help.

Merlin looked at the two as he was just about to drink his tea and sighed.

Merlin: Well, I sure wasn't expecting company this soon. How may I help?

Kitty: So sorry again for the intrusion, the dummy-

Pointing towards Jammy who was still holding her when he carried her over to the house, Kitty carried on her sentence.

Kitty: -said we had to come here to ask for your help, but I'm not quite sure why...

Soejammy: To explain further, teach Kitty how to fly. There's also a case that there's a chance that after five minutes, the flight could stop working. But unsure if there's any timer to show how long is left.

Merlin just stared at the two while sipping his tea.

Merlin: I see...

Soejammy: Is that the only reaction that we're going to get to this? Also, why does it remind me of a meme?

In response to this, Kitty tried using one of the wings to get used to controlling them by hitting Soejammy around the head with it.

Kitty: Be nice! You just came in here and interrupted his time asking about this!

Soejammy: Not my fault I almost died for a good cause.

Kitty: It doesn't matter why, you ALMOST DIED!!! How can you not understand how serious that was?! Not something to be so casual about!!

Soejammy: You don't think I'm taking this seriously? Sometimes, a hard choice has to be made. If I have to save those I care for even at the cost of my life, I'm willing to do that.

Kitty didn't say anything to Soejammy in response to what he said, instead pulling the gem out of her pocket to change the subject.

Kitty: We were given this gem by Leon, we were going to come here as well to ask for help to be able to use the gem. Is it possible to talk to Fairy Godmother too while we're here?

As if on cue, tiny lights began to converge to a tiny pumpkin carriage as it then transformed into Fairy Godmother.

Fairy Godmother: Did someone say my name?

When sensing the gem Kitty had, Fairy Godmother seemed to know Kitty had it on her.

Fairy Godmother: Excuse me, dearie. May I see that gem you have?

Kitty nodded as she headed over to Fairy Godmother, holding out the gem. Once examining the Gem, Fairy Godmother seemed joyful, but a little sad for it.

Fairy Godmother: This poor little thing...

Kitty: Is there something wrong...?

Fairy Godmother: Nothing of the sort. It's very rare to see something like this happen to someone.

Kitty: Hmm? May I ask what you mean?

Fairy Godmother: You see, when a person whose world was taken by the Heartless, there is a rare chance for that person to continue fighting even after their world vanishes. What becomes of them, are these little summon gems.

Kitty: "Summon gems"???

Fairy Godmother: Yes. In fact, if I gave it some of my magic...

Focusing on her magic to the gem, the summon gem then became full of energy as Kitty received a vision of a lion with a red mane roaring on top of a stone ledge.

Kitty: Whoa!

Soejammy: You okay?

Kitty: Y-Yeah. I think I just saw Simba.

Soejammy: That's neat.

Once the magic was done, the Fairy Godmother handed the gem back to Kitty.

Fairy Godmother: Please take great care of him. He's trusting you, dearie~

Kitty gave a nod as Soejammy took Kitty to Merlin and headed on up to the training room. Once there, the three learned that Kitty's flight was powered through wings that sprouted on her back, and even though Kitty gained the power of flight, she had no timer, meaning it was the Wings of Pegasus she had been given. Merlin was even told why Soejammy protected Kitty as the Heartless was drawn to Kitty.

Merlin: How exactly did you come to this power?

Kitty: A disk. It was something Soejammy had said.

Merlin: By a powerful being no doubt?

Soejammy: Let's just say that your power isn't enough against someone I know... History has proven that...

Merlin: I won't go further into it. Though, from the talk about the giant Heartless you told me about, I have deduced something. Something you two want to listen to and keep VERY quiet about...

Soejammy and Kitty looked at each other as Kitty landed to the ground and dispelled the wings.

Soejammy: What is it?

Merlin: This is... Hypothetical... But Kitty... Do you feel... Different?

Kitty: Um... No...?

Merlin: Any different than how you two came to THIS universe?

Kitty began to think about it, but she looked at Merlin.

Kitty: I did feel more... Happy? Or maybe something along those lines?

Merlin: Hmmm... I see... And Jammy, you said that in a timeline when you went to one of these... You saw a BRIGHT light when going into a palace?

Soejammy: Yeah? What's that got to do with Kitty?

Merlin: I'm getting to that.

Merlin looked at Kitty and Soejammy as he sighed and took his glasses off.

Merlin: I can sense two distinct sides to both of you. One of light and one of darkness. Normally, this isn't a problem. But from you two, one is filled with pure light, while one is mostly filled with darkness.

Soejammy and Kitty looked at each other and then to Merlin.

Soejammy: What's that got to do with us???

Merlin: Let me ask you, has your anger been... More rampant recently?

Soejammy thought as he thought back to the Opposite Armor.

Soejammy: It... Has... Yes...

Merlin: And Kitty, have the Heartless targeted you a lot?

Kitty: Yes! The Opposite Armor grabbed me and took me to the First District.

Merlin: Oh dear... That is what I was afraid of...

Soejammy and Kitty: Can you just tell us???

Merlin sighed as he looked at Soejammy and Kitty.

Merlin: This universe has affected you both. Not in just yourselves, but your hearts. Soejammy's heart is being affected slowly by darkness in his heart the more his anger gets to him. In fact, it SHOULD have taken his conscious a long time ago!

Kitty: Then how is-

Merlin: That is an easy one to answer, my dear. You.

Soejammy began to blush when Merlin said that, and Kitty was confused.

Kitty: I don't understand...

Merlin: You are the reason. Should Soejammy be consumed by darkness, multiple occasions where you got really close, the darkness left him. Kitty, I looked into your heart, and it is EXTRAORDINARY.

Kitty: What's that?

Merlin: A tale about Seven Pure Lights. I thought there was only just that. Seven. But looking at you, I can sense an Eighth.

Soejammy and Kitty looked at each other as Kitty widened her eyes more.

Kitty: Wait, "EIGHT"!? Then what does that mean?!

Soejammy: Kitty. You're a Princess of Heart. It all makes sense now why the Heartless are after you.

Silence was spread out as Kitty was processing the news, her knees collapsing out from under her from the shock of everything that happened and now finding out about her heart along with Soejammy's.

Kitty: J-Jammy could have been consumed by the darkness and.. I'm a Princess of Heart...? None of this should be possible...!

Merlin: And yet, it has. Whatever happened to you two, it has increased Soejammy's rage and connection to darkness, while your light has erased any darkness inside to make it a Pure Heart of Light. You two, I would be VERY careful who you trust. Do NOT talk about this after you two leave.

Soejammy and Kitty looked at each other as time passed. When the events of the meeting with Merlin were done, the groups in the First District began to say their farewells for now. With Riku joining the team along with some friends being kept safe in Traverse Town, Cid had finished fixing the Gummi Ship and added the Warp Gummi and the new navigation Gummi. All that was left was-

Donald: NO! You are NOT flying the ship!

Soejammy: Awww! Come on! You know I can get us to places faster!

Donald: NO MEANS NO!!!

Riku watched as he looked at Kitty.

Riku: I should just strap in, shouldn't I?

Kitty: It is best too.

Riku got his seat belt on as everyone else did as Soejammy began to walk away from the controls, before rushing back and flooring the thrusters to make Donald fly to the back of the ship again. What world will the group face next? Find out soon.

Chapter 8: End.
