The Dragon Dimension Reborn

The demonic form of Antomus laughed manically,”You cannot comprehend the power I have!”

“Who cares!?No one does!”Mario yelled.

“I shall show you fools a taste of my power!”Antomus sneered, and two blue orbs appeared in his hands. He threw them into the air. The blue orbs collided with each other and formed a portal. The portal starting sucking up everything. Antomus laughed again and flew right into the portal. Sora and the others tried to hold on to something but the force of the portal sucked them up anyway.

The next thing they knew they were at some place where it was a plain white realm. The gruesome form of Antomus stood a couple of feet away. The place was totally silent.

“Where are we?”King Mickey asked.

“A place where time stands still, doesn’t exist. Here, you could live forever and never grow old. But that doesn’t mean you can’t die!!”Antomus grinned,”I’m afriad your time is up!”

The ground around Antomus suddenly became black and spread all around him. From the blackness, two weapons shot into his hands. An axe and a mace. The final round had begun. The death match.

The battle was fierce. Antomus tried with all his might to strike down Sora and the others. Flying through the air and slashing at them. Mario and Sora ended the battle when Sora clashed weapons with Antomus while Mario snuck behind him. When Antomus finally saw Mario it was too late. Antomus tried to fly away but Mario jumped on his back and drove his keyblade through Antomus’ back. Antomus screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Mario was slung ten feet away, skidding to a halt. Antomus was on the ground twisting the way and that, coughing madly.

“Why….why me?”Antomus coughed.

“Because you messed with our friends and family. Because you sought to kill good, thus destroying the universe.”King Mickey answered.

“You guys are still fools. You were too late to kill me. You are out of time.”Antomus sneered.

“What are you talking about?”Mario asked.

Antomus coughed loudly and ignored the question. With his dying breath, he said,”I hate spiky-haired teens, talking rats, but most of all I hate plumbers.”Antomus’ body went limp and remained on the ground.

“What was he talking about?”King Mickey asked.

“Beats me.Well, what now?How do we even get out of here?”Sora asked.

At that moment a portal opened to their side and a dragon came from the portal. The dragon was white and had a long slender body with many legs. The dragon was beautiful and it hovered above their heads.

“What now!”Mario moaned.

“Do not be alarmed. I come in peace.”the dragon replied.

They were surprised to see that the dragon could talk.King Mickey finally said,”Who are you and what do you want?”

“I am Father Time and I come to thank you.”the dragon replied.

“”Father Time!?”Sora yelled.

“Uhm…okay. Why did you want to thank us?”Mario said.

“You have destroyed a great threat to the universe. Antomus was a very vile villain that needed to be stopped. “the dragon replied.

“You knew Antomus?”Sora said.

“Well I should. He was my son.”Father Time answered.

“What!?”Mario, Sora, and King Mickey said at the same time.

“Yes, Antomus was my son. Although when I knew him he wasn’t this Antomus. He used to be kind and loving and was going to take my place as Father Time when my time had passed.

“Then what had made him so bad?”King Mikcey asked.

“People who live their lives outside of time learn everything in the universe. Being Father Time, you had to be the guardian of time and space, to make sure the space/time continuum never broke. Knowing everything, Antomus knew about Kingdom Hearts and a way to open it without using the keyblades. He didn’t want to guard space and time, he wanted to rule it. He left this realm and went to the mortal realm, where he broke the sacred laws and broke the dimensional walls. Then he formed alliances with people just as evil as he was and together, they planned to rule the universe. I am sorry that Antomus is dead but he had to die. An evil as great as him could never be permitted to live.”

“Before Antomus died, he told us that we were too late.What did he mean?”King Mickey asked.

“I’m afraid Antomus was right. By breaking the dimensional walls he interrupted the natural balance of all the dimensions. Thanks to him things had happened that should not have happened. He changed the course of life. Doing this, he broke the space/time continuum and as of now, the universe is destroyed.”

“What!? You mean we’ve failed.”Sora said.

“What about our friends and family?”Mario asked.

“I’m sorry. Everything living is dead. The universe is no more. There’s nothing left.”Father Time said gravely.

“It can’t be!There’s got to be something we can do!”Sora yelled, tears in his eyes for the lose of his friends.

“There is. I can reverse time. All the way back before the dimensional barriers were broken.It will make things the way it should have been. That also means everyone that has died during this time will be once again alive. Villains and heroes. So that they may face their own enemies in their own dimension, the way it should have been.”Father Time replied.

“Does this mean my brother will be alive!”Mario asked, and Father Time nodded yes. Mario jumped in the air and cheered.

“But what about Antomus?Won’t he be brought back to life too?”King Mickey asked.

“Antomus died here. Outside time and space. So he shall remain dead, forever.”Father Time answered.

“But I’m afraid everything that has happened recently will be forgotten. Like it never happened.”Father Time said.

“Does that mean we won’t remember each other?”Sora and Mickey asked, looking at Mario, who had become like a part of their family.

“That’s the way it has to be. There’s no other way.”Father Time answered,”I’ll give some moments to yourself.”Father Time then floated a couple of yards away.

“This sucks guys. Mario, you were a good friend.”Sora said.

“I’ve made so many friends, Amy, Ratchet, and you guys. And I’ve been to cool and amazing worlds. I don’t want to forget you guys.”Mario said.

“Don’t worry fellas. Even if we forget one another, we’ll meet again. I know we will. We may forget each other in our minds but never in our hearts. True friends can never forget each other.”King Mickey said. Sora and Mario smiled at Mickey and they all embraced one another.

They all turned to Father Time and Sora asked what do we have to do?”

” You heroes have done enough. Just leave everything to me.”Father Time said and started to move his many hands around in circles. A huge clock suddenly appeared in front of him. The hands started moving backwards at a fast pace. They soon stopped and everyone had to shield their eyes when a bright light appeared.

Mario and his brother Luigi were relaxing in Mushroom Valley eating well, mushroom soup. Mushroom Valley was the place where all mushrooms in Mushroom Kingdom are grown. They had been going here every chance they could get, because they never had time to come here due to Princess Peach was always getting herself into some kind of trouble. It has been about two months though since any villain, mostly Bowser, has shown their face in the Kingdom.Suddenly Luigi said, “Have you ever wondered how come we like mushrooms so much? Plus, like everything here have the word mushroom in front of it. What’s the big deal!? They’re just stupid mushrooms.”

Mario chuckled and replied,”Wash your mouth out with soap Luigi! Mushrooms are pretty darn good if you ask me!”

THE END

Mario stood over Luigi limp body. Tears were in his eyes. The battle still raged on around him but Mario didn’t care. He had failed his brother. King Mickey’s hand grabbed Mario shoulders and squeezed lightly.

“I’m sorry Mario. But now is not the time to mourn. We must stop Antomus before he destroys Kingdom Hearts.”King Mickey said.

“Antomus went into it a little while ago. We must go after him.”Sora said.

“You’re right.”Mario said, getting to his feet,”I will avenge my brother. Antomus will pay for this!”

“Go we’ll handle this fight!”Samus said, and the other commanders nodded. Sora , Mario, and King Mickey nodded back and made their way up the ledge towards Kingdom Hearts, leaving Luigi corpse where it fell.

They soon made it up the ledge and on solid ground again. The huge white door, lending into Kingdom Hearts towered before them. The door to it stood wide open, they could not see into it, for a a blackness covered it.

“This is it. The fate of all rests on our shoulders. If we lose, the worlds, our friends, everything will be encased in chaos. We must beat Antomus!”King Mickey said.

“But no pressure!”Sora replied sarcastically, and they stepped through the door.

The next thing they saw was a city of darkness. Huge buildings stood over them, their dark color making them look evil. The sky overhead was red. A storm rained down from the sky, sending out black lightning in the sky. This is what Antomus had done to Kingdom Hearts. On the other side of the city was Antomus. Even though they were on one side of the city and Antomus was on the other he was pretty easy to spot. He stood on top of a huge snake-like monster, which was higher than the city. The snake was green and had razor sharp claws and a scorpion-like tail. It hissed as the heroes raced through the city towards it. They ran towards Anotmus and stopped and few feet away from the snake beast. The snake roared at them, it shook the very ground.

“The heroes have come to save the day. Don’t bother! As you can see I’ve done a little redecorating!In a matter of moments Kingdom Hearts will completely belong to me!Every person, every heart, shall become evil. Good will cease to exist! Evil will reign supreme!I will be the king of all!”Antomus yelled.

“Antomus!You understand nothing!If you destroy good it will set the universe out of balance! You can’t have evil without good. As long as there evil in the universe there’re suppose to be good. You have no idea what you’re about to do! Stop this before it’s too late!’King Mikey warned.

“Save your lecture your highness! I know exactly what I’m doing!I’m going to get rid of the keyblade masters!Kill them!”Antomus commanded to his serpent. The creature attacked and the battle for the universe begun.

The serpent was difficult to deal with. It would snap at them and attacked them with it’s claws and scorpion tail. The serpent seemed to have some kind of dark magic. It would shoot puple flames at them from it’s claws. The battle raged on for what seemed like hours, but the heroes soon prevailed and the serpent fell. It faltered and fell backwards, crashing into one of the buildings. Antomus was able to jump off before it crashed. He landed on top of one of the roofs of a building.

“You killed my pet heartless! Guess I’ll have to do this myself!”Antomus yelled.

“You will pay Antomus! You killed my brother!”Mario screamed.

“Oh boo-woo! I killed a stupid plumber!Bad me!”Antomus grinned.

Mario screamed in fury and raced towards Antomus. Antomus jumped from the roof to the ground. Before Mario had a chance to attack him, a huge sword appeared in his hands. The sword was almost as big as Mario. Antomus grabbed Mario by the throat and tossed him backwards. Sora and Mickey were able to catch him before he fell.

“Ha ha ha ha! You guys are pathetic! You guys think you can defeat me!”Antomus yelled.

“Don’t flatter yourself, we can defeat you easy!”Sora replied.

“Let’s see about that!” Antomus yelled and round 2 begun.

Sora,King Mickey, and Mario had a tough fight on their hands. Antomus would slash at them, disappear, and slash at them from behind. Then, he would slide towards them and try to slice them up. Miraculously, Sora and the others were able to dodge these attacks and deliver a few of their own. Using the tactic, they were soon able to defeat Antomus once again. Antomus was on his hands and knees, clutching his chest and gasping for air.

“Care to surrender Antomus?”King Mickey grinned.

“What!?I’m just getting started!”Antomus sneered, and rose from his feet.

Antomus became a ball of darkness and floated towards the dead snake’s body. The dark ball disappeared into the creature’s chest. For awhile, nothing happened. Then, the snake monster started to rise up.

“What the-!?”Sora yelled.

“Antomus is controlling the snake!He’s inside of it!”King Mickey answered.

The snake suddenly started to transform. The snake changed into something for terrifying than before. It looked like a demon.The creature laughed madly.

“We are so screwed.”Sora said.

When Sora and the others returned to Disney Castle all their friends from the other worlds were there. Sonic had come up to them and had told them what Shadow had said. They quickly prepared over 1,000 Gummi Ships and journeyed towards Hollow Bastion. Warriors and armies from every corner of the universe were on their way to the ultimate war, to finally end this.

Meanwhile,Antomus was addressing his army and commanders. His army consisted of Heartless,Tyhrranoids, Davy Jone’s pirate crew, and every other vile army in the universe.”Our time has come! Kingdom Hearts will be ours!In a matter of moments Kingdom Hearts will open and this universe will be ours!The only thing that stands in our way are those accursed heroes!They will be here soon!That is when we’ll crush them, once and for all!”Antomus yelled.His mass army hooted and yelled. It was so loud that the very ground shook. Not even a minute after he finished his big speech, Antomus saw the Gummi Ships coming.

“Where’s the citizens?”Sora asked noticing that the city was empty.

“More than likely the villains are keeping them imprisoned.We’ll have to free them.”King Mickey answered.

The Heroes noticed that the enemies’ army was positioned in the Great Maw, outside of the city. The army was so big and vast they couldn’t even see the ground. This battle wasn’t going to be an easy one. To top it off, more enemies were in ships in the air. So the heroes’ had to divide their forces, half for land and half for air. As soon as the enemy army noticed them that they shot projectiles at the Gummi Ships. Sora and the others could see one or two of their ships go down.

The land team quickly disembarked on ground and attacked the enemy army. Koopas, Heartless, and other creatures went down, as did some of their own. Fox’s ship zoomed by overhead, he was the leader of the air team.With him at the front, enemy ships went down like flies. Their own commanders were battling the commanders of the enemy army. Amaterasa was battling Orochi, Ratchet was fighting Dr.Nefarious, Jack Sparrow was sparring with Davy Jones,Kirby was fighting with Metaknight, Link was in his wolf form fighting with Ganondorf who was in his beast form,etc.

Sora was battling with five enemies at once. King Mickey seemed to be kicking butt, taking out enemies this way and that. Mario wasn’t doing so bad either. He was helping Samus fight Dark Samus.Sonic and Shadow were all over the place, trading blows and kicks everywhere. It seemed the heroes were winning. Half of the enemy commanders were dead. Ganondorf, Dr.Nefarious, and Orochi were dead.

Suddenly, Antomus yelled,”This fight is over!”

Everyone looked up to see Antomus on a ledge.In his hands was Luigi’s foot.Luigi was dangling over the edge.  If Antomus let go ofLuigi, Luigi would fall to his death.

“Mario!”Luigi yelled at the top of his lungs.

“Luigi!”Mario yelled back,”Let my brother go!”

“Surrender. And the plumber’s life will be spared!”Antomus sneered.

“Don’t do it Mario! Don’t worry about me!”Luigi said.

The sky had suddenly turned black.Antomus grinned and and said, “It is time.Princesses from every world!Reveal to me the heart of all worlds!The heart of all kingdoms.The heart of all that lives.Princesses!Reveal to me Kingdom Hearts!”

The princesses of the universe were locked away in the enemies’ headquarters. At the hearing of Antomus’ command the princesses screamed in pain and a ray of light shot out from their hearts and towards the sky above. A thousand ray of lights filled the sky. A huge door suddenly appeared over Antomus’ head, but the door was locked.Kingdom Hearts was locked.

Antomus spoke again, “The power source from every world. I command you to use your energy to open the door to Kingdom Hearts!Open the door!Open the door for it’s new master!Me!”A thousand blue rays lights shot out from HQ.The rays hit the door and the door slowly started to open.

Antomus grinned and yelled,”You’re too late heroes!This day belongs to me!I won’t be needing this second banana anymore.”

He released Luigi’s foot and Luigi screamed as he fell. He hit the ground below hard and a crunching sound was heard as bones broke. Everyone gasped and Mario ran through the crowd and towards Luigi.

“NOOOOOO!”Mario yelled.

Luigi wasn’t moving.Mario bent down and gently lifted Luigi’s head.Tears were in Mario’s eyes as Luigi tried to breath, but his breathes were short and hoarse.

“Mario.”Those were Luigi’s last words.Luigi’s head sagged in Mario’s arms.Luigi was dead.

Ratchet and Clank fought bravely against the wave of enemies coming at them. They had been tricked to coming to Annihilation Nation and forced to battle these robots constantly for the amusement of Dr.Nefarious’ Tyhrranoids. He had just defeated the 25th wave of enemy robots. The next wave should be a the final, and Ratchet knew it was going to be tough.

At that moment Sora,King Mickey, and Mario had arrived at Annihilation Nation and took their seats in some of the many seats in the dome. All around them were strange creatures, cheering and rooting as another cat-like creature was losing greatly against robots.

“They call this entertainment?They make me sick!”Sora flared.

“Why are we here again?”Mario asked.

“Because that creature down there is a new ally.”King Mickey said.

“Shouldn’t we help him?”Sora asked.

“We don’t need to raise suspension just yet. Besides, looks like he handling it just fine.”King Mickey replied.

A t that moment the final match was happening. The announcer said in a booming voice,”Now is the moment you’ve all been waiting for!The final match!Introducing our guests of honor and competitors, Bowser and Maleficent!”Bowser and Maleficent stood up from the thrones positioned in the center of the audience at the mention of their name.

“Oh no!Not those two!?”Mario yelled.

“What are they doing here!?”Sora asked.

“I don’t know but it’s time to help our friend out!”King Mickey said and raced towards the arena.

They leaped into the arena, startling Ratchet,”Who are you three and what are you doing here?”

“We’ll talk later, we have a fight on our hands.”King Mickey replied.

Noticing Sora,Mickey, and Mario, Bowser sneered, “Well well well, look what we have here. The keyblade masters.”

“Now we can deal with them as well as the filthy Lombax.”Maleficent grinned.Bowser leaped down into the arena and Maleficent disappeared and reappeared in it.

“We beat you guys before we’ll beat you guys again!”Sora and Mario yelled.

“We shall see about that!”Bowser roared and he and Maleficent started to grow and transform.Bowser transformed into a turtle godzilla.He had transformed into Giga Bowser.Maleficent was engulfed in a growing stream of green and black smoke and turned into a black dragon.They both roared loudly and the heroes charged.

The battle was tough and fierce.None of the heroes had every faced two bosses at the same time.Giga Bowser would stomp around the arena and Dragon Maleficent would send green fire raining down upon them, but the heroes prevailed nonetheless. Giga Bowser and Dragon Maleficent were no match for the combined strength of Sora,Mickey,Mario, and Ratchet.Giga Bowser roared in defeat and fell back into the audience, damaging the dome and killing the Tyhrranoid bystanders.Maleficent too, roared in defeat and slammed to the arena floor. Both Bowser and Maleficent were dead. The Tyhrranoids in the stands fled in terror of these monster conquerers.

“Thank you guys for helping us back there.”Ratchet said.

“We would have gotten our butts kicked for sure.”Clank said.

“No sweat. They were actually our enemies so we needed to help.”Sora replied.

“By the way, who are you?”Ratchet asked.

“I’m Mario. That’s Sora and King Mickey.”Mario answered.

“And what were you doing here on Annihilation Nation?This isn’t exactly a hot spot for people to hang out.”Clank asked.

“We came here looking for you two.”King Mickey answered.

“Us!?Why!?”Ratchet said.So Sora and the others told Ratchet and Clank what was happening and told him that they needed his help.

“That’s quite a story you have there.”Clank said.

“Well, you guys saved us. So we will return the favor and come with you.”Ratchet said.

“Excellent. Then we have to time to waste!”King Mickey replied and opened a portal.They jumped in and were back at Disney Castle.

Ganondorf reappeared in Hollow Baiston. He was bleeding greatly and was in horrible pain.He didn’t even make it two feet away from the portal. He sank to his knees, clenching his teeth as he pulled his own sword from his stomache. He didn’t even notice the other villains were there, watching him with anger.

One of the villains, Bowser, finally spoke,”You have failed Ganondorf. You were suppose to get rid of those so-called heroes. And then you dare to return to us!”

“I was outnumbered. Four to one.Do the math you turtle freak!”Ganondorf spat.

“We gave you a simple mission. And you fail-”Dr. Nefarious yelled and Lawrence had to slap him,”failed! You are a failure!”

“I don’t see you on the front lines you bag of bolts!”Ganondorf said weakly.He was just about to pass out from the pain.

“Watch you tongue Ganondorf!”one of the many heads of Orochi warned.

“You have no say in this you snake. I had to fill in for you back there while you ran off like a coward.”Ganondorf replied.

Then, a plump little figure that resembled Kirby, only with wings and a knight mask and sword, whose’s name was Metaknight, said,”You know very well why he left. He had to bring that Kushi girl here.”

“Yes. She is a key factor in our plans.”Maleficent said.

“Whatever.Just get some help I’m dying here!”Ganondorf said.

“We will get you aid all right. Then you will be put in the dungeons along with that treacherous hedgehog, Shadow!”Dark Samus growled.

“That Shadow character spoke to much and had to receive the maximum punishment.”the heartless jailer, Davy Jones said, who was standing in a tub of water, due to he couldn’t step on land once every ten years.

“Take him away.”Maleficent yelled and snapped her fingers.Two heartless appeared behind Ganandorf and grabbed both his arms. They slowly dragged him away.

“The heroes will no doubt be here soon. Since Shadow gave away our HQ.”Dr.Nefarious said.

“So want will we do?”Bowser asked.

At that moment a man, encased with black armor and a blood-red cape, stood up from his seat. He was the leader of this horde of villains.  Without him they would not be here, about to make history. His name was Atnomus. A feared knight of  fallen kingdom. He was able to break the dimensional walls and seek allies in every world in order to fulfill his ultimate goal.

“They will have a chance at redemption. We need them in order make Kingdom Hearts. We have found a way to open it without the keyblades. With a princess from each world and the power source from each world as well. The only thing that stands in our way is the three keyblade masters and their wretched friends. Long has our enemies defeated us, but no anymore. When Kingdom Hearts is ours, we can destroy it, and build a new one. One which makes every heart as evil as ours. Good will cease to exist. And we, will be the rulers of the universe. So prepare your armies my friends! War is soon to come and we can finally wipe out our archenemies!” Antomus yelled and the villains sneered and laughed manically.

Sora, King Mickey, and Mario entered a new world. It was a little diffirent from most worlds any of them had ever visited. The scenery looked like some kind of comic book., and the place was in ruin and foreboding. The people there were sad and miserable.

Sora walked up to the nearest person, who was an old man with what appeared to be an orange on his head,and asked,”Are you alright?What happened here?”

“Orochi happened. He sent hordes of terrible demons down upon us and they destroyed our village. What’s worse, they stole our beloved Kushi.I fear she will be devoured by Orochi.”the old man said.

“Orochi?!”Mario said, and a mysterious breeze come from nowhere.

“Do not speak his name without cause. We’ve already have enough bad luck as it is.”The old man moaned.

“Isn’t there anybody here to protect your village?Anyone at all?”King Mickey asked.

“There was Susano, a descendent of the great hero Nagi. But he’s a coward and hfled when the demons came. The only protection we had was Issun and the village dog, which they chased away the demons and ran after them.”The old man replied.

“They could use our help.”Sora said.

“Yeah and they could prove great allies.”King Mickey said.

“Which way did they go?”Mario asked, and the old man pointed down the road. They thanked him and followed it.

The road led to a huge plain,  and a storm raged overhead. In the distance they could see heartless surrounding what looked like a white wolf. The wolf had orange tatoos on it’s back and had a weapon that was a stone disk. The wolf was fighting bravely was greatly outnumbered. Sora and the teamed raced over to lend a hand. In a matter of moments all the Heartless were defeated.

“Are you alright wolfy?”Mario asked, the white wolf growled at them. Suddenly a green bouncing speck came out of the wolf’s fur and bounced on it’s head.

“The wolf’s got fleas!Keep it away!”King Mickey yelled.

“I am not a flea!Name’s Issun!Amy I think they’re friends. They save our tails.”the green speck said, which turned out to be a little man,talking to the wolf. The wolf stopped growling and just stood there,”Pardon this furball. It doesn’t have manners. Her name is  Amaterasu. I just call her Amy.”

“We saw what happened to that village and I thought you two needed some help.”Mario said.

“Thanks for that. We were on our way to kick Orochi’s butt when we were ambushed by those demon things.”Issun explained.

“What is Orochi?Some kind of monster?”Sora asked.

“Orochi is a 8-headed serpant freak that is the source of all the evil here.He has also kidnapped Kushi, a fine little woman from the village.”Issun answered.

“Do you mind if we tag along?”King Mickey asked.

“What do you think Amy?”Issun asked the wolf, and the wolf shook it’s head yes.

“Where does this Orochi live anyway?”Mario asked.

“In a cave not far from here. We need to hurry before he eats Kushi for dinner!”Issun said and he and Amaterasa led the way to Orochi’s lair.

The quickly enetered the cave, which was weird from the start since there usually was a force feild barring the entrance. They progressed through the caves, fighting off demon and the heartless, until the made to Nagi’s Shrine. They were expecting a monster but the place was totally empty, no Orochi, no Kushi, no one.

“What gives?Where’s that oversized freak of a snake?”Issun said. At that moment a portal opened before them and a tall tan man stepped forth.

“I take it you were expecting someone else?”the man grinned.

“Who the heck are you? Where’s Orochi?And Kushi!?”Sora asked.

“Name’s Ganondorf. As for Orochi and Kushi. They’re unavailable at the moment. I’m …….a replacement.”The man sneered, and pulled out a huge sword. The heroes quickly summoned their weapons and the battle began.

They had to dodge Ganondorf’s sword swipes while they dealt some damage of their own. When Ganondorf would tire and stand still for a minute, Amaterasa would use his Celestrail paintbrush to slash him up. Mickey ran up to Ganondorf, slid under his legs, and climb up his back and took his sword from his hand.He jumped off him and while in mid-air, threw the sword back at Ganondorf. The sword went straight through him, the sword halfway into his stomache. Ganondorf gasped and moved backwards. He disappeared into a portal.

“I’m so confused. What’s going on here?”Issun asked, Amy tilted his head into a confused look.

“We can explain.”Sora said, and told the story of what had been happening recently.

“I fear that Orochi and Kushi are in another world. Like all the other princesses.”Mario said, thinking of Peach. Wondering if she was alright.

“Me and Amy here will tag along with you. Wherever Orochi and Kushi are, we have to find them.”Issun said and Amy nodded in agreement.

“Great. But you cannot come with us. We are still on a mission to gather new allies.”King Mickey said.

“Well, looks like you got some.”Issun grinned.

King Mickey opened a portal behind them and said,”This portal will lead you to my castle. Wait for us to return. We won’t take long.”Issun and Amy nodded and entered the portal, which closed behind them.King Mickey then opened a diffirent portal.

“How many more worlds do we have to go to?We’ve been to over ten already!”Sora whined.

“This last one should do it.I’m not quite sure what it is though?”King Mickey said.

“We’ll know when we find out.”Mario said, and jumped into the portal.Sora and Mickey followed.

Sonic exited the portal, which lead him back to his own world. Or what he thought was his world. Morbius was a battlefield. Those things called the heartless were ramaging through the city, destroying everything in their path. Using his super speed, Sonic quickly dealt with the nearest heartless. But when Sonic defeated one heartless, two more took it’s place. He could not beat them. All of the sudden, a fox with many tails and a red enchinda came out of the nearest building and attacked the Heartless. It was his two friends, Tails and Knuckles. Pretty soon, they were able to defeat all of the heartless, at least on this street.

“Do you guys mind telling me what’s going on!?”Sonic asked.

“Well, these things came out and nowhere and started attacking the city!”Knuckles answered.

“And guess what. They were led by Shadow the Hedgehog.”Tails said.

“Shadow!?He’s back!?”Sonic yelled.

“Yep. But he wasn’t alone. There was some kind of crazed robot guy with him. What was he called again?Dr. Nefarious.”Knuckles said.

“Dr.Nefarious?Who’s that?”Sonic said.

“I don’t know.Never seem him before.”Tails replied.

“If Shadow’s here that could mean Princess Sally is in trouble.How you two checked on her?”Sonic asked.

“We didn’t have time. We’ve been fighting those black things.”Tails answered.

“I’ll go check up on her. You two gather all our friends and exterminate all the Heartless in the city.”Sonic said, and before they could reply, Sonic sped up toward the castle.

He raced up to the castle gates, which was guarded by two giant Heartless. Before they knew what hit them, Sonic super kicked them in the head and knees, knocking them down and feeling very confused. Sonic didn’t have time to deal with them now. He raced into the castle and into the throne room. There, waiting for him, was Shadow and two robots.

One of the robots were tall and on top of his head was a glass case with something glowing inside.”Must be his brain or something.”Sonic thought.He body was blue metal and he was quite skinny. The other robot was short and wore black clothes, like a butler. He had white metal instead of blue.

“Look Lawrance it’s a blue hedgehog.”The blue robot sneered.

“It’s going to be blue roadkill.”Shadow said cooly.

“Shadow, you have a weird taste in friends. A deranged robot and his butler.”Sonic smirked.

‘How dare you! I am not deran-!”Dr.Nefarious said in mid-yell. The next thing that came out of his mouth was what sounded like a soap-opera. Shadow and Lawrance sighed deeply and slapped him at the same time.

“deranged!You need to be taught some manners!”Dr.Nefarious finished.

“Easy Nefarious. He’s mine.”Shadow grinned.

“I never get to have any fun.”Dr. Nefarious sighed.

“We’ve done our part. The princess is ours and we have the Chaos Emeralds. You can report to HQ. I just have some loose ends to tie up.”Shadow replied.

“Fine!Lawrance!Open the portal!”Dr.Nefarious commanded.

“Right away sir.”Lawrance said, rolling his eyes. A portal appeared and he and Dr. Nefarious went through, the portal closed behind them.

“Where’s the princess!Tell me now!”Sonic demanded.

“No harm in that, since you’re as good as dead anyway. She and the others princesses reside in the ruins of Hollow Bastion.But you won’t be going there. “Shadow said and lunged at Sonic.

Sonic dodged Shadow’s attack and raced to the other side of the room. They both had the same powers and were equally matched. Shadow raced after him and delievered a series of blows to Sonic’s face. When one of Shadow’s fist came down to Sonic’s face Sonic grabbed Shadow’s arm and super-spun him around. He let go and Shadow was hurled to the nearby wall before he collided with the wall Shadow regained his footing and raced up the wall. Sonic followed and they traded blows to each other while running up the wall. They both grabbed each other and they slammed back to the ground. They stood a couple of feet away from each other. Sonic turned in a spinning ball and raced towards Shadow. Shadow did the same and they collided with each other. Both rivals were knocked back and slammed into the wall, leaving a huge and cracked imprint on it. They slowly got back on their feet, each exhausted and hurting.

“I’ve had enough of this. See ya soon Sonic.”Shadow said and disappeared into a portal.

“That’s right you better run.”Sonic yelled.

Mario stood in the courtyard of the Mushroom Castle. The whole kingdom lay in ruins. Parts of the castle were sprawled out all over the ground, smoke rose from an unforseen fire in the castle. Under much difficulty Mario was able to enter through the shattered castle doors. He looked everywhere in the castle but could not find Princess Peach. Once agian, she was kidnapped.

“This is getting real old, and fast!”Mario said to himself,”There is one place though I haven’t checked. The Castle Garden.”Mario ran to the back of the castle and out the back door. Unlike the castle, the garden was untouched. Flowers and rose bushes were blooming and insects buzzed on the flowers.

“As long as the garden okay!”Mario said sarcastically.

All of the sudden, the ground started to shake. The flowers and shrubs in the garden turned black and menacing. A portal opened in the ground and a monster, something out of a nightmare come forth. The beast looked something like a mix between a dragon and a bird. Encraved on it’s chest was a heart symbol.

“I’ve had enough of surprises for one day!”Mario yelled, and summoned his keyblade in his hands,”I don’t know what you are but you’ve already ticked me off. I’m going to have to beat you down!”

The creature roared so loud it shook the very ground. It charged at Mario. Mario evaded the monster’s attack just in time, leaping out of the dragon thing’s path. The creature turned around to face Mario again. It threw it’s head back and dark flames burst forth from it’s mouth.  Mario jumped out of the way as the black flames hit the ground. Before Mario could even get up the beast’s foot came down and pinned Mario to the ground. The sheer force and weight of the monster made Mario unable to move a muscle.

“I’m done for. I’ll never get the chance to ask Peach out on a date. I’ll never get the chance to tell Luigi about how I knew he was dating Daisy, my ex-girlfriend.”

All of the sudden, two figures came from nowhere and attacked the monster. The monster was taken by surprise and was knock a few feet back, releasing Mario. Mario shot up off the ground as the figures ran up to him. One of the figures was a mouse. The mouse was pretty short compared to it’s companion and was holding a weapon similar to his. The mouse’s companion was a boy. He was dressed in black clothes and was tall with spiky hair. He too, had a similar weapon.

“Are you okay?”the mouse asked.

“Uhm…yeah.”Mario replied, surprised that the mouse could talk.

“I take it you’re new at fighting heartless?”the boy said.

“That thing’s a heartless?!I didn’t think they would come in diffirent sixes and shapes!?”Mario said, shocked.

“We’ll chat later, we still have a problem to deal with.”the mouse said.

The dragon/bird heartless was regaining from the surprise attack. It roared in anger and blasted dark fire at them. They dodged the flames and together, attacked the heartless.

The heartless was soon defeated. It could not withstand the power of the three keyblade masters. It roared one last time and froze in mid-roar. Cracks of light appeared all over the heartless when finally it exploded and was gone. The black and menacing garden melted away and turned back to it’s beautiful self.

“Do you mind explaining who you two are and what the heck is going on?”Mario asked.

So King Mickey and Sora introduced them selves and told him what Mickey told the other previously at Disney Castle. They then told about the keyblades and the heartless. When all the questions were answered they all stood in silence in a circle.

“Well, what now?”Mario said.

“We still have many worlds to visit and allies to gain. If you want to you may travel with us. We could use the help of another keyblade master.”King Mickey replied.

“I’ll join you. I must save my brother and Princess Peach from Bowser and Maleficent.”Mario said.

“Maleficent!? How do you know about her!?”Sora yelled.

Mario then told them what happened at Mushroom Valley and then said,”Why?Do you know her or something?”

“Know her?!Ha! You have no idea! That old hag has caused us no end of trouble in our dimension!”Sora answered.

“If Maleficent is involved we may not have much time to gather new friends. We better be on our way.”King Mickey said and opened a portal before them. They all jumped into it and the portal closed behind them.

Sora was doing what he normally did after school, he would go with Riku and Kairi to the island and watch the sunset. School had been a drag and just getting away from it would lighten their spirits. Sora and Riku were already at the island, they were waiting for Kairi. She was suppose to be at the island an hour ago. Something was not right.

“What’s keeping that girl?”Sora asked.

“Fixing her hair, putting makeup on, who knows. Girl crap.”Riku replied.

“I don’t know Riku, something doesn’t feel right.”Sora said.

“You have something on your mind don’t you? What is it?”Riku asked, changing the subject. He didn’t really want to talk about Kairi. He was jealous because he knew Kairi liked Sora and not him.

“Yeah, it’s just, I miss Donald and Goofy. It’s hard to get use to not hearing Donald get into a fit or Goofy’s A-huck. I miss those two knuckleheads. I wonder what they’re doing?” Sora answered.

“Coming to see you.”Riku replied.

“What?How do you know?”Sora said. Riku pointed towards the sky.

A huge spaceship was heading towards them. Sora instantly recognized it as the Gummi Ship. He waved his hands in the air and shouting at the ship, wanting it to know they were here. The Gummi Ship gently landed on the island. Donald and Goofy, in their traveling clothes, jump out of the ship and ran towards Sora and Riku.

“Donald!Goofy!”Sora yelled and hugged his two dearest friends, and after so long he finally heard that A-huck again.

“I don;t mean to break up this Hallmark moment but I take you two aren’t here for a reunion.”Riku said. Donald and Goofy let go of Sora and stood back.

“I’m afraid Riku’s right Sora. The king has sent us to come and fetch you.”Donald said.

“Why?”Sora asked.

“Something bad is happening and the king has asked us to bring you back to Disney Castle. We don’t have time to go into details. It’s about Kairi.”Goofy answered.

“Kairi!?What’s wrong!?”Sora said, turning serious.

“We think she’s been kidnapped.”Donald replied.

“Kidnapped!How do you guys know?”Riku yelled.

“Because it’s happening to all the world’s princesses.”Goofy said.

“Is it the Princesses of Heart thing again!?”Sora groaned.

“The king doesn’t think. Not only are the seven princesses of heart are being kidnapped, but every princess in all the worlds. Have you seen Kairi lately?”Donald asked.

“We haven’t seen her all day.”Sora answered.

“Then we have no time to lose. Let’s go Sora. We must get back to the king.”Donald said.

“Hey!What about me?”Riku asked.

“Stay here and protect Destiny Islands. The king fears that the Heartless are acting up again. You’ll need to protect Destiny Islands in case the Heartless show up.”Goofy said.

“Oh alright.”Riku moaned, not really wanting to be left out.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy jumped into the Gummi Ship and left Destiny Islands way behind.  Stars and planets zoomed by as they raced as fast as the Gummi Ship could to Disney Castle. They soon arrived at Disney Castle and were ushered in the throne room by one of the broom servants. The king was sitting in his throne, with his faithful dog, Pluto by his side. King Mickey wasn’t alone though, by his side stood what looked like a blue hedgehog only with red shoes and white gloves, a orange and red robot, and a walking pink ball.

“I guess I don’t ever have a normal day.”Sora said to himself.

“Sora, I’d like you to meet Sonic the Hedgehog, Samus, and Kirby. They’re are new friends.”King Mickey said, introducing all the odd characters in the room.

“Uhm, hi.”Sora said.

“So you’re the keyblade master His Majesty has been talking about. It’s a pleasure to meet you Sora.”The blue hedgeho named Sonic said,shaking his hand.

“Likewise.”Sora replied. He exchanged greetings with everyone in there, and waited for the king to explain what’s going on.

 ”Thank you all for coming. You may be wondering why I have called you all here.Simple. All our worlds and others are in grave danger.”King Mickey said.

“What are you talking about your Highness.”Samus asked.

“The Dimensional Walls, blocking our worlds from one another, has been broken and smashed to bits. With the walls down all our enemies have come together and are planning something big. What that plan is, I do not know. But what I do know is that we’ll need all the help we can get. We need allies from every world, and fast. Whatever our enemies are planning, it’s complex. They are stealing princess or queens and power sources from each of our worlds.”Mickey let a tear fall down his cheek. Everyone in that room, except Sora, knew that Queen Minnie had been kidnapped yesterday.

“But what can we do?”Kirby asked.

“Go back to each of your worlds and rally your friends, then come back here. While you all will be doing this, Sora and I will be traveling to other worlds in search of new allies. Any questions?”King Mickey said.No one spoke a word, “Good. Let’s move people!”

Sonic, Samus, and Kirby bowed and portals opened behind them. They turned and entered the portals. As soon as they entered the portals, they disappeared.King Mickey jumped down from his throne and walked down the hall, he ushered for Sora,Donald, and Goofy to follow. He led them to a room where a huge portal lay in the center of the room. The two engineers of Disney Castle, Chip and Dale, were this way and that around the room, putting in coordinates for the planet the heroes would soon visit.

“Listen fellas, Me and Sora will go and gather new allies while you two stay here.”King Mickey said, talking to Donald and Goofy.

“Why can’t we come with you?”Donald asked.

“Someone has to lead Disney Castle in my absence. You two are in charge. Got it?”King Mickey answered.

“Yes sir your Majesty!”Goofy said.Mickey nodded and turned to the portal.

“I’m a little lost here you Highness.”Sora said.

“As am I Sora. As am I. But we don’t have time to sit around and discuss things. It’s time for action. We have worlds to visit.”King Mickey replied.

“Uhm….okay. Which world are we going to first anyway?”Sora asked.

“To a place called Mushroom Kingdom. I fear one of our soon-to-be ally is in grave danger.”King Mickey responded and they jumped into the portal.

Mario and his brother Luigi were relaxing in Mushroom Valley eating well, mushroom soup. Mushroom Valley was the place where all mushrooms in Mushroom Kingdom are grown. They had been going here every chance they could get, because they never had time to come here due to Princess Peach was always getting herself into some kind of trouble. It has been about two months though since any villian, mostly Bowser, has shown their face in the Kingdom.

Suddenly Luigi said, “Have you ever wondered how come we like mushrooms so much? Plus, like everything here have the word mushroom in front of it. What’s the big deal!? They’re just stupid mushrooms.”

Mario chuckled and replied,”Wash your mouth out with soap Luigi! Mushrooms are pretty darn good if you ask me!”

“You’re addicted to those things.”Luigi said.

“Am not!”Mario yelled.

“Mario!Look!”Luigi yelled and pointed to the sky.

Up in the air was a huge flying ship. They knew instantly that it was Bowser’s vessel. It hovered over Mushroom Valley, it mass shape encasing the valley in shadow. From the top deck stood Bowser, and beside him stood a creepy-looking woman.

The woman wore a long dark robe, along with a hat that had two black horns on top. She had long, skinny fingers which was holding what looked like a staff, with a green jewel on top of it. Sitting on her shoulder was a black raven.

“Who in the heck is that? Bowser’s mom or girlfriend or something?”Luigi asked.

“I don’t know but she the gives me the creeps.”Mario answered.

Bowser laughed and yelled in his deep voice,”Mario! Luigi! It is time to meet your demise!”

Mario sighed and yelled back to the big oaf, “When will you learn Bowser. You suck! You can’t beat your way out of a paper bag!”

“Not this time Mario! Not this time!”Bowser screamed.

This time the woman spoke,”Why Bowser, aren’t you going to introduce me to those iggnorant plumbers. They should know who I am before they die.”

Bowser grinned and said,”Of course, where are my manners. Mario, Luigi! I’d like to introduce my friend here, Maleficent.”

“Malefi-who? Never heard of ya.”Luigi said.

“You should you second bannana.”Maleficent sneered.

“What do you two want?”Mario growled.

“Your deaths, and of course, the mushrooms.”Bowser answered.

“The mushrooms, why do you need the mushrooms?”Luigi said, not really caring.

“That’s for us to know and for you to never to find out! Attack!”Bowser yelled, and Goombas and Koopas jumped down from the ship and encircled Mario and Luigi.

“He just never learns.”Mario said and jumped on the head of the nearest Goomba. In a matter of seconds the little horde of enemies was defeated.

“Perhaps I should give it a try.”Maleficent said,”Hear me my Heartless!Destroy these fools!”

All of the sudden, strange black creatures appeared and surrounded the two brothers. Mario and Luigi have never faced foes like these before. They were completely black, with yellow eyes and two antennas on their heads. Mario didn’t know whether to jump on their heads or high tail it out of there.

The nearest monster jumped forward and attacked Mario, knocking him down. Before Mario could even take a swing at it the creature melted into the ground and slid away from him, before he could attack. The creature then rose back up a few feet away.

“What the heck are these things!?”Mario yelled.

Bowser and Maleficent were on the ship the whole time, laughing at them.Bowser finally stopped his laughter and said, “I grow bored of this. Let’s get on with it. We have a job to do.”

“Oh alright. Nobody likes a good evil laugh these days.”Maleficent replied.

A koopa brought forth a remote control to Bowser. Bowser grabbed it and pressed one of the buttons on it. The bottom of the flying ship opened and a huge hose came down to the ground. Bowser pressed another button and the hose began to suck up all the mushrooms in the valley. Luigi, unforunately, was in front of the huge hose and was sucked up along with the mushrooms.

“Mario!”Luigi yelled as he was sucked up into the hose. Mario screamed to his brother but could do nothing, becaus ethe Heartless was still beating him up.

All of the sudden, a black portal opened up underneath Mario’s feet and was pulling him into it like quicksand. He tried grabbing hold to something but the pull of the portal was stronger. Eventually, only Mario’s head remained. He screamed as he was completely engulfed in darkness. All around him was nothing but darkness. He could see black forms move from within the darkness. There were tons of Heartless all around Mario. They moved closer, Mario just stood there, knowing he couldn’t win. He was done for. A huge ray of light came up from above Mario, it instantly vaporized all the Heartless and Mario had to sheild his eyes eacuse the light was so bright. When he finally opened his eyes he was back in Mushroom Valley.

Mario heard Bowser and Maleficent gasp. Mario felt something in his right hand. He looked down to see some kind of weapon was in his hand. The strange weapon had a keychain with a star on it and the long body of the weapon looked like one of the green pipes he had to always unclog,with him being a plumber and everything. At the end of this weapon were three mushrooms. The one in the middle was the largest, while two small green ones were on either side of it.

“What is this thing?”Mario said, examining the weapon more closely.

“It seems the red fat plumber has a keyblade as well. I do beleive it’s time to go.”Maleficent said.

“I agree. We’re done here anyway. All the mushrooms are ours. Surely the Heartless will deal with him.”Bowser said and yelled to his minions,”Time to shove off!”

Maleficent looked down at Mario and yelled to him while they were departing,”If I were you Mario I would go check on your girlfriend, Princess Peach.”

“Peach is not my girlfriend!”Mario yelled, then whispered,”I wish.”

Mario noticed that the Heartless were cowering before Mario gazing at the weapon in his hand. They must be afraid of it, Mario thought. He lunged at the creatures and swiped at them with his new weapon. They were instantly turned to black smoke and appeared from the attack. In a matter of moments all the Heartless were gone. In the distance he could see the flying ship, too far away to catch.

“What did that witch say this thing was? A key….blade?”Mario said to himself. The weapon suddenly vanished from his hands. He was shocked at first, and wanted the thing back in his hands instantly, becaus it was able to destroy the Heartless. As if reading his mind, the weapon appeared again in his hands.

“Now that’s cool. Oh Yeah! Princess Peach! I must see if she’s alright!”Mario yelled and raced toward the Mushroom Castle.
