Kagura Hearts, Chapter 5,Chapter 5 ~ School of Hanzo“(ahem) As you may have learned Asuka, Sora here was summoned from the realm of Limbo after a great battle. And his status as a spirit was caused through sacrificing his own existence unnaturally for Kairi, his friend. With his entirety rendered to the existence of a Spirit, Sora was no different than the traditional summons of old, who our finest Shinobi in history have ever summoned. And yes, his human form from the previous life was kept intact, just as Ryoki was. With the exception of the Halo, Sora is summoned to our world as a temporarily living servant of the summoner. And his civic duty is-HEY, ARE YOU TURDS IGNORING ME?!!!” Renka asked.Asuka answered, “No Renka, I was listening to you, but we were all in my apartment, and I was looking forward to fixing up some Futomaki Rolls for the class. And since Sora came to this world unnaturally, I wanted to at least teach him how to make the Futomaki.” Sora then said, “-And it’s a little hard to pay attention with you talking through all of Asuka’s lessons.” Renka then argued, “I WAS ‘TALKING’ BECAUSE I HAD IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE SITUATION, AND YOU ‘FUN-TIME-MUCK-HEADS’ ARE BUSY MAKING SNACKS!!!”Asuka then looked at Sora’s progress and said, “Your attention to detail is admirable, but you’re losing the amount of Codfish Flakes, see that? It’s spilling out of your roll.” Sora was shocked, so he tried using a spoon to get the flakes and carefully lay the flakes back on the roll. Asuka then said, “Good, everything is ready. All the ingredients are in your roll, now carefully roll the roll using the Bamboo Mat.” Sora carefully matched Asuka’s movements and rolled the small mat over the Futomaki. He then asked, “With the Futomaki rolled up, should we cook’em in the oven, microwave, or-?”Asuka shook her head and said, “No need to fry what’s been cooked already. Trust the ingredients we cooked earlier, they’re what make Futomaki delicious. Now, after a good squeeze, our rolls are complete. Some people like chopping the rolls up, you may as well if you wish, but me, I like mine nice and fresh!”Renka then said, “If ya ask me, I think her interests in food are suggestive.”Renka then ordered, “You’ve finished making our meal, Asuka, now sit. You too, Sora.” Sora finished cutting his Futomaki roll into small bits and sat in front of Renka, offering her the plate of Futomaki. After Sora bowed, Renka accepted Sora’s generosity and ate a small slice while saying, “(much-munch) (gulp) His mission is the Heartless. You remember the black creatures you and the others have been fighting since 1 month ago, right?” Asuka nodded, allowing Renka to continue, “Master Sayuri and old-man Hanzo met these demons years ago, and you can be certain that these things won’t disappear after one lucky victory, They will be back and in stronger forms than the last. Master Sayuri also managed to gain some intel regarding the identity of the Heartless’ masters. They are mysterious and powerful creatures called the Four Fiends, whose reasons for using the Heartless elude us, which is why YOU were Summoned, Sora.”Asuka then asked, “Well, I’m not against Granny summoning Sora…but I am curious about what will happen to Sora if his mission is over?” Renka ate another piece of Futomaki and answered, “...He’ll come back to life in a realm his friends can reach him, as per his arrangement to the rulers of Limbo.”Sora then asked, “You know, Sayuri also told me to make some friends here, saying that it may help my case more. Does Asuka count?” Renka then shoved a small serving of the roll into Sora’s mouth and said, “Gold Star, dumbo, Asuka does count. Of course, you will have a chance to meet with many other lucky ladies, who may add to the power you have now.”“...Um…what did she mean by ‘Lucky Ladies’?” Sora asked Asuka. Asuka then replied, “...maybe she’s applied for a job at a Casino?” Renka snarled and explained, “CHILDREN Renka, they have the brains of Children! Christ, you two can’t be this dense, can you?! (ahem) Nobody is working with Shifty Gamblers, Bunny Girls, or Wheels of Fortunes, Master Sayuri has in fact enrolled you to School.”Sora was a bit curious by Renka’s explanation, so she made things perfectly clear…“You will be honing your skills, during your stay, fighting the Heartless and any assholes who think they can wear the PANTS of our town, while learning how to be a Ninja like the many who wear the darkness in their missions happily do. You will be attending…Hanzo National Academy.”The next morning, Sora was standing in front of the school gates next to Asuka…Sora then said, “I had schools back home, but none were THIS huge!” Asuka then said, “Well hopefully, it’ll become more familiar in time. Now come along, I’ll take you to Sensei’s class to wait while I take Renka’s recommendation letter for you to the Principal.” Sora nodded and headed to the entrance, until Asuka suddenly grabbed him from behind and lifted him into a hidden part of the school rooftops…Through a secret door, Asuka plopped down on her feet in a classroom while Sora was dropped on his butt on the floor.Asuka was nice enough to help her new friend on his feet while saying, “This goes without saying, but Ninjas don’t use the front door. Now wait here, and try not to bug the others while I’m away.” Sora nodded while saying, “I’ll mind myself, but…I’m concerned your classmates might have a different idea.” Asuka then said, “Don’t worry too much about that, the girls won’t know what to do with you when they see you.”“G-Girls?! Wait, did Renka mean-?!”Before Sora could finish, Asuka was standing in the door out of class and said, “Remember, be nice to any who show up!” When she left, Sora reasonably, started to sweat rain…“WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN INTO?!!!”Sora then decided to sit down while he waits for Asuka, but to his surprise, the room had no desks or chairs, just small tables and pillows…along with a few odd choices to bring to a classroom, like inflatable toys, giant pillows with people’s faces attached to them, and underwear!Sora already felt like a stranger in another world, but he wouldn’t want to keep the wrong assumption in mind about Asuka or Ninjas, so he said to himself, “Is this a classroom, or Asuka’s private closet? Just-...just keep it together Sora, this probably isn’t a classroom! Maybe this is a club room! And the-...um, ‘Girls’ are just a swimming team! So I’ll mind my business and sit in an empty corner away from their prying-.”“Stand still, trespasser.”“EEP!”Sora felt a sharp blade to his throat, an arm wrapped around his arms, and two giant marshmallows touching his back…“-Are you the Teacher?” Sora asked. The person answered, “I am your Executioner.” Sora then said, “That’s not the right answer, and to be honest, your approach is rather rude.” The person behind Sora however argued, “SILENCE scum, what could a boy know of decency when he is all-together rude?” Sora answered, “I know you’ve been hating the wrong boys! W-wait…you’re my age, aren’t you?” Sora swatted the sword back and summoned the Keyblade to defend himself…What he saw however was INDEED a girl his and Asuka’s age, perhaps one year older, but this young woman was beautiful beyond compare, with long black hair, and a red bath robe that was exposing more than it should…Sora then said, “It’s official, Kairi’s gonna kill me for seeing-…(ahem) NO, no, I’m being rude, sorry. You’re a student, aren’t you? It’s nice to meet one of Asuka’s friends, I’m Sora-! W-wait, you are Asuka’s friend, right?” The girl answered, “I am…but what does a man like you have to do with our Asuka?” Sora answered, “I happen to be a new student in your school.”“LIES!!! NO MAN COULD DRESS SO OBSCENE, SO IMBECILIC, SO UNCOUTH!”“...I get ‘Imbecilic’, but what’s with all the detailed words, are you going to tell me you hate me yet or just keep waving a sword around with the intention of-”Sora’s question was immediately interrupted by several sword attacks that he had to block and parry, until a girl with pink hair hopped in while saying, “-Sounds like Ikaruga’s fed up with Katsu again-wait…that's not a Blonde Pervert!” Sora then answered, “No, just me, and I’d love to introduce myself, BUT RIGHT NOW, A CRAZY HALF-NAKED GIRL IN A KIMONO IS TRYING TO KILL ME!!!”As Sora was defending himself, the pink girl performed a Summoning Jutsu, and through this technique, she summoned a small mean-looking rabbit with a kanji symbol on his forehead and a red scarf! The pink girl then said, “Ninto, Ikaruga is fighting an intruder! Grab him!” The rabbit saluted the pink-haired girl and charged Sora, who was already pushed against a wall! The rabbit called Ninto then shot a bolt of Lightning at Sora, forcing the Keyblade Wielder to jump out of the way and toss his Keyblade at Ninto, knocking him into the pink-haired girl’s arms!“-I’m really sorry about hitting your rabbit mam, but this is between us! You should stay away or our attacks might end up hurting you!” Sora’s explanation was unexpected, and the pink-haired girl was somewhat surprised…and relieved. So she asked, “...my name…M-My name is Hibari! Who are you?” Sora pushed Ikaruga’s blade away and answered, “I am Sora…formerly deceased Keyblade Wielder, and summoned warrior from the Realm of Light, my summoner is Sayuri, Asuka’s Grandmother.” Mentioning Sayuri’s name left the two ladies speechless as Sora dismissed his Keyblade.“ASUKA, YER LUSCIOUS LOVELIES ARE MINE-!!!” A shapely blonde girl suddenly grabbed Sora from behind, making poor Sora VERY uncomfortable as the amazon went to town on every part of his body! The blonde then said, “GYUUH-HU-HU-HOOOO, PRECIOUS LITTLE SUPPLE BOOBIE GOOD-ness? Hmm…strange…this bod…Asuka, is it just me, or have you…gained some muscle? That’s kinda weird, especially how scrawny you still are…and…your…huh. Your boobs are missing.” Sora pushed the perverted woman away, but in his terrified attempt to get away, he bumped into Ikaruga! The two collapsed, however, to Ikaruga’s surprise, Sora was cradling her, keeping her from knocking her head on one of the tables…which he ended up knocking his head against…At that moment, a 4th student walked into class, this one had long white hair in a twin-tailed hairstyle, while wearing a black eyepatch. She then turned towards Hibari and asked, “Hey Hibari, what’s been happening?” Hibari answered, “Y-Yagyu…w-we attacked someone without knowing who he was…and now…his head is bleeding after keeping Ikaruga from getting the same injury!”End of Chapter 5
Kagura Hearts, Chapter 4,Chapter 4 ~ Toppling the TowerStill on the rooftops, Sora and Asuka stood back up and looked at each other. Asuka then asked, “This person…who are you planning to apologize to?” Sora then answered, “Someone special, who I didn’t give enough credit to…MAN I forgot her capabilities. She was able to transcend death to find me, twice, and even if her skills with the Keyblade are different, she holds more untapped power than I can even imagine. And despite what was done…” Sora smiled at Asuka as he continued, “...Kairi probably would have saved herself and saved me in seconds. She’s amazing!”Asuka giggled and said, “Sounds like the convictions of a true Futomaki Fan! I’m going to enjoy teaching you, step-by-step, how to make Futomaki once we’re finished here!”Sora and Asuka then approached the ledge of the rooftop, but before anything happened, Asuka had to ask, “...hey, so out of curiosity, how did you know I was Asuka?” Sora then answered, “...the handbag. You were using it to carry your groceries, and on it, there was a Keychain with your name on it. Plus, Sayuri said your name while we were on the way here.”Sora and Asuka then saw the Heartless rushing to where the Demon Tower was, forcing the two to hurry back…In the area, the Demon Tower grew taller, into something of a wretched and coiling existence, which twitched and squiggled with every Shadow that merged with it…Sora and Asuka suddenly surprised the Demon Tower with a swift combined blade attack, literally circumcising it! Sora then said to Asuka, “It’s cute seeing self-designed things like that keychain, you know? I guess I should have mentioned that was one of the reasons I liked exploring other worlds…Keychains, Membership Cards…Magic Lamps…the worlds have surprises and treasures I never expected, and will treasure for the rest of my existence.” Asuka then said, “I guess the Lamb is no longer Lost in the Barnyard. Welcome to a new world, Sora. I’ll do my best to watch out for you…just like Granny did for me!”The Demon Tower then reached over to the duo and knocked them away, then released several Shadows from it’s body while sinking into the ground!The Shadows then rushed at Sora and Asuka, who killed every single approaching Heartless with their blades!“I wanted to ask, but what’s with the club? It looks like some sort of Key.” Asuka asked. Sor happily answered, “This is a Keyblade. Shape and Form, it’s all in the name. There’s more to this too, like for instance…-JUMP, NOW!!”The Demon Tower then popped from beneath Sora and Asuka, trying to gobble them up by surprise, while Asuka yelled, “GEEZ, HEARTLESS PERVERTS! THEY LOOKED UP MY SKIRT!” Sora then said, “Let’s teach’em a lesson with one of the Keyblade’s special abilities! Magic!” Sora then rushed towards the Heartless, surprising Asuka with his recklessness, but surprising her with a swift Magical Spell that left the Tower on fire!“That’s my Fire Spell! Fortunately, the Harmful Spells don’t hurt friends and allies of the wielder. There’s a lot more to show you too.” Sora said. Asuka however said, “Well since we’re showing off, allow an honorary Hanzo Academy ninja to show you a few tricks of her own!” Asuka then rushed to the Demon Tower and like a pair of scissors, she chopped right through the middle of the Demon’s torso! As it reconstructed itself, Asuka bragged “THAT was my Dual Slash technique, touching my blades together, then swiping away twice the power of what a single Katana can cut! And trust me, that’s an accomplishment!”Sora smiled and said, “You’re quite the Ninja, Asuka, but this thing is no ordinary Heartless. Riku and Aqua were Masters when they encountered these things in the Realm of Darkness, and though it’s weaker compared to its completed form, that Demon Tower, it nearly killed them. We can’t underestimate it!”The Demon Tower then spun its worm-like body around and threw several hungry Shadows at Asuka and Sora, forcing the two to dodge, but they were still caught by surprise when the Shadows suddenly flew up to them, tackling them behind while merging back with the Demon Tower!Asuka then asked, “I’ll agree that this monster is strong, but isn’t it just a collection of these Heartless?” Sora nodded, “Yes, and when that thing adds more to it, it gets bigger, and THAT’S when it becomes a problem!” Asuka then said, “Well I have an idea that could keep that from happening. Sora, let's destroy the ones that it sends our way! Since the Tower-thing is made up of those little bug-things, all we have to do is be the bug spray and kill the unlatched Heartless! It will grow smaller and smaller, until the Tower is reduced to a small number of creatures we could step on!”Sora then said, “Asuka…YOU’RE AWESOME! LET’S DO THIS!”But the Demon Tower slunk into the ground, and like a slinky on the stairs, it came out and back into darkness, all while launching the Shadows at them! They managed a few claw attacks and injured Asuka and Sora with their speed and multiple numbers! The Shadows then jumped into the same spot the Demon Tower slithered into!“It’s scared, so it’s changing tactics! Strike the ammo when it comes out!” Asuka advised.The Demon Tower popped out again and sent it’s Shadows flying at the two…“-STRIKE RAID!”Sora then tossed his Keyblade at the Heartless and destroyed a good number of them!The Demon Tower tried again with it’s next attack…“HANZO STYLE: FULL BLOOM!”Asuka surprised the Shadows by making precise cuts to each one flying towards her and Sora!As the Demon Tide rapidly sent it’s Shadows at them, Sora and Asuka used their techniques and destroyed a good number of the Shadow Heartless until, a few minutes later…Sora and Asuka’s strategy of trimming down the hedges worked perfectly, as there were only 4 Shadows left!Asuka then said, “Granny sent you on a mission…so I’ll leave them to you.” Sora nodded and walked up to the scared little Shadows…“FREEZE!”To Asuka’s surprise, Sora revealed another magical spell that encased the Shadows in blocks of ice, making it easier for him to simply tap the blocks and shatter each one. Sora then said, “As fun as that hack & slash gig was, I think I’m kinda burnt out by this point. It’s much easier to just make’em go poof, you know?”“...Poof? Did-…did you say ‘Poof’?” Asuka asked.Sora gave a confused big-eyed look at Asuka as he answered, “Yeah. Poof. I said Poof. Is it odd to hear that?”Asuka then let out a loud laugh, never dreaming such a scrawny-yet-tough guy like Sora could even consider using the word ‘Poof’ when destroying Heartless.“OK, OK, we should probably get going. Don’t want to draw a crowd after all.” Asuka said as she tugged on Sora’s wrist and hurried back to the rooftops…Watching from above, Asuka started a conversation with Sora by saying, “So…Granny summoned a boy around my age…I have a lot of questions, but I have a feeling you’ve been through enough for one day. I mean, if the fight from earlier wasn’t convincing enough, I’d say the Halo is a perfect example of how much you’ve been through.” Sora looked up at the Halo over his head and said, “Yeah…it’s weird, huh? Accepting a deal to return to the realm of the living by completing Sayuri’s mission. Clearly I’m in for a long stay here.”Asuka then said, “Well I’ll be happy to help out any way I can.” Sora nodded and said, “I appreciate that Asuka, especially after the help you gave me before. That advice…it kinda made me understand Kairi a little better.” Asuka then asked, “That advice, huh? Well of course, seeing someone give up…it’s kind of scary. You clearly had a good reason to live, but those monsters, I can understand the stress of suffering a recurring joke, ESPECIALLY when it comes to summoning an animal I hate more than anything.”Sora then asked, “I didn’t think you hated anything, looking at you, I thought you were some cuddly puppy in disguise as a human, the way you didn’t let much affect you, and how reliable you were…S-SORRY! I’m being WAY too descriptive, huh?” Asuka nodded and said, “Comparing a young lady to a Dog of all animals is NOT very polite, Mister!” Sora bowed several times to earn Asuka’s forgiveness until he asked, “So…since I’m staying in this world for the time being, do you have any places around here that I could stay in?” Asuka thought for a while, and sadly said, “...I’m sorry, I don’t know any place you could sleep in-.”“-It’s a good thing the master isn’t above providing for her pets, eh Sora?!”Renka surprised Sora and Asuka from behind, nearly causing the two to trip and fall over, but luckily, Renka was able to catch their hands and pull them over to her.Renka then continued, “(ahem) Anyhow, Master Sayuri left a few important things behind for you, Mr. Keyblade Master-!” Sora then corrected, “-I’ve been meaning to tell you, but I’m not really a Master rank, I’m still a trainee-.” Renka however said, “NOBODY HAS EVER SURVIVED CARELESSLY USING THE POWER OF WAKING THRICE, DUMMY! OR DEFEATED AN ENTIRE ORGANIZATION OF XIII TWICE ALONG WITH A PROFOUND KEYBLADE MASTER-GONE EMO! (ahem) You saved us all while accomplishing that shit, bro…you’ve EARNED the title ‘Master’ as far as I can tell.”Sora blushed at Renka’s compliment while Asuka smiled and said, “I agree, you were magnificent! I just wish Granny gave you more than a form in our world to walk in. I’d swear, she would’ve had a room, or a dorm prepped up for you.” Renka smiled and explained, “Well, I do have more to tell you both regarding Master Sayuri, but how about we continue this conversation at YOUR place, Asuka?”“M-M-M-M-MY PLA-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-ACE?!!!”“...…yeah, your place.” Renka said.End of Chapter 4
Kagura Hearts, Chapter 3,Chapter 3 ~ Night of Fate, Asuka Flies“SONIC BLADE!”Sonic ripped through the numbers, trimming down every Heartless Shadow that came at him, one by one! He then finished his attack by shoving the Keyblade through the last Shadow like it was nothing, and grabbing the nearest Heartless by the antennae and swatting away the Shadows that came at him until he booted the one he used to clean their clocks at them. He THEN summoned his Keyblade back into his grasp and used a Thunder Spell on that very same creature, annihilating it and all surrounding Shadows in the blink of an eye!The Shadows then took drastic measures and started throwing objects at Sora to throw him off, but the Keybearer simply batted them back at the monsters, literally blowing each thrower’s eyes or heads CLEAN OFF!The last object they threw was batted straight through the group of Heartless, making a clean path for Sora to run through! Sora then ran past them while saying , “Catch me if you can, you Gluttons!”The Shadows then chased Sora while Asuka watched from the rooftops. She knew Sora was trying to lead the monsters away from the frightened civilians, but she felt he was enjoying this way too much…“Doesn’t he know how many are chasing him? Why isn’t he scared of those shadowy monsters?” Asuka asked. Following Sora still, she said, “According to Granny, these Yoma-like demons were called ‘Heartless’, but looking at them, they could literally pass as disgusting bugs! If I was the guy down there, I’d rather lead them to a trap they couldn’t escape…but still…maybe I should trust WHY Granny summoned this boy…”As Sora ran, he made it to a large crossroads section of the city, where Sora had more space to fight the Heartless…Sora turned around and said, “OK, now we have room for a REAL Party! LET’S GO!”From then on, Sora was DESTROYING the Heartless, his expression however, it felt like seeing someone revel in their battle, and yes, Sora was indeed enjoying the fight too much, as if he was holding in his personal feelings for so long, that he was finally allowed to cut loose, and release ALL the regret and pain he felt when he was abruptly taken from Kairi, by the unseen fate, by Xehanort, and especially by the rule makers who decided he HAD to disappear and never return…After killing one thousand Heartless, Sora glared at the remaining 100, and said, “This…is a riot. I keep getting thrown into these-...these STUPID FIGHTS! Save a bunch, then lose a bunch, the loss?! It’s either Memories or Loved Ones, either way, all the power I gained, used up against the big bad villain of it all! Sure, I won, my friends lived, and the bad guys lost, but do I get a break? Do I stay to celebrate long enough?! NO! BECAUSE YOU HEARTLESS…you’re just always in line to get my freaking Autograph, aren’t you? AREN’T YOU?!!!”Sora angrily swung his Keyblade at the Shadows, but he missed 3 of them, and started breathing heavily, as if he gave too much of his energy to destroy the large number of Heartless from earlier…Asuka could tell, after killing the massive amount of Shadow Heartless, Sora was starting to reach his limit…Sora still couldn’t help but remember his time with Kairi, who was killed by Xehanort, and brought back to life by his risky gamble with the Power of Waking…“...GOD DAMN IT!!! WHY CAN’T YOU MINDLESS FREAKS STOP EATING OUR WORLDS?!!!”(SWAT)A Shadow Heartless caught Sora by surprise by clawing at his leg, then giving another a chance to pounce on him, giving the others a chance to grab his arms and legs…It was at that moment that the Shadows who weren’t holding Sora down started to merge……into a Demon Tower!Sora could only watch as his executioner was taking shape, and as The Demon Tower was forming, Sora said, “...No Friends…and no Power…in the Afterlife, I’m just as much a puppet as the Heartless now. And even with strings attached, I couldn’t make the right choices…and here I took a chance, for her…but Kairi, if I was back…would any of you have the time to look for me? Or…(chuckle) I can hear Mickey saying they found a new Keyblade Wielder. It makes perfect sense, especially since anyone who wasn’t me…would have done better. I could have told Kairi to stay home…I could have evacuated everyone before the Tide was formed…I…I’m a joke…”The Demon Tower then slithered around Sora, who’s smile was seen by Asuka as someone who had given up…“Go ahead. I destroyed so many Heartless, and I lost more than I won every time…you win. I’m done with friends, and I’m done with power…just…take me. Even my summoner abandoned me-.”Suddenly, standing next to him, was the same girl who helped him shop for the Futomaki ingredients! Asuka instantly slayed the Heartless who were holding him to the ground and asked, “You have been Summoned because you CAN save my world. Because the Keyblade you have can destroy the Heartless. Tell me, are you-...no, WERE you at least happy to save the lives of those who were on every world you visited?!” Sora noticed Asuka’s…figure under the skirt and blushed, looking away in embarrassment while Asuka realized what he saw…yet she still grabbed him and carried him away from the Demon Tower, who tried to devour them by reaching at them!Asuka dodged the Demon Tower and kicked it away, gaining the opportunity to escape with Sora.Minus later, Sora was ready to talk to the girl he met, he was ready to talk to Asuka…“...So, do you always go out in two different uniforms?” Sora asked. Asuka blushed and punched his arm while saying, “Do YOU always peep up girls’ skirts?” Sora shook his head, “I-I DON’T! But maybe that’s something to consider for the future!”“-Just stop. Please, just stop clowning around and be honest with me. My question from earlier…please answer it?” Asuka asked.Sora then answered, “...I was happy. I mean, seeing a new take on a world, what I used to consider normal keeps getting thrown out the window, and…and there were amazing people in each of them…so yes. For them, for their home world, I would keep fighting the Heartless…whether it’s forever…or…heh, a guy and his Hobbies, huh?”Asuka then said, “You know, a few minutes ago, we met in that tiny store. And from what I saw, I assumed…I was talking to someone who knows how to get his house clean. Someone who met any danger that challenged him, and faced it. I never thought that person would end up being a real hero though…especially one who’s been holding in his personal feelings. I saw you snap…and I-...I know I can’t give you the help you need, Heck, that could be a psychiatrist’s job or something…but…I didn’t want you to suddenly give up. It just didn’t sound like a fitting death for you.”Sora smiled and said, “...Asuka…have you ever been stuck?”Asuka nodded and said, “Well, it’s not like I DIDN’T slip into a tight squeeze once and a while. I mean, ‘them's the perks’ of being a Ninja Trainee, I guess. But it is important to slip WITHOUT boys looking at you because they might get aroused if they see something inappropriate-.”“NOT THAT KIND OF STUCK!!! Have you been stuck doing something, since you were 14, nothing but a recurring job that keeps you away from everyone in your life?! Always fighting Heartless, always fighting people who suddenly have it out for the universe, ALWAYS SUDDENLY BEING PULLED AWAY AS SOON AS YOU HAD THAT FIRST MOMENT OF REUNION WITH YOUR LOVED ONES?!!! I SURE HAVE!!! …I have been fighting the same Shadows, losing the same Kairi…for so many years. I understood how fun an adventure was…but I thought wrong…I was wrong about so many things! I’m just fighting for nothing but a short break for as long as it lasts for a rat and his loyal-...”Sora was indeed one of the most depressed heroes Asuka had ever seen…“...Yes…your Grandmother summoned me…to fight the Heartless. With the world in danger, she needed someone to help, and so, here I am. But after what happened…in the last adventure…how can I save anyone, knowing that I won’t be with them for long?” Sora asked.Asuka then answered, “...you just…embrace the time you have with them.”Sora questioned what Asuka meant, and so she explained, “Listen, a Job is important, you’d be lucky to have it, it keeps the house you live in, or the apartment you sleep in, and your fridge is always stocked thanks to that job, you’re great doing it too. But the same can be said about your friends, not just you. You and your loved ones can bond, hold hands, and even share the same tastes for movies, but the thing you have to understand…and this is important…is that the same rules apply to them.”Asuka’s words touched Sora’s heart as he looked at her with a surprised expression, as if these words neglected his ears for so long that it literally took him till his 17th year to gain such enlightenment as a Birthday Present…Asuka then continued, “They had their own jobs and choices to make, and maybe what hurts you the most…is when they want the same thing as you…to fight for their friends. When you love your friends so much that the thought of someone hurting them drives you crazy. They felt the same thing as you, and like their choices in life, you can’t change them…and in the end, isn’t such uniqueness worth fighting for?”Sora nods slightly. And then asked, “...Thank you for telling me…I think…I have someone waiting for me at home…who I owe a huge apology to…, Elsewhere, after the events of "Melody of Memories" and this story, Kairi met with Aqua, and bowed while saying, “I hope you’re not busy, Lady Aqua…but I was hoping to ask you to train me.”Aqua was somewhat surprised, however, she smiled and said, “Of course I will. We can’t save Sora from Quadratum without a little preparation, can we?”End of Chapter 3
Kagura Hearts, Chapter 2,Chapter 2 ~ Sora meets a new FriendSayuri’s boat finally reached the docks, and thus, Sayuri took Sora into the large city of Kabukicho, JUST as the sun was setting…Sora looked around the massive city and said, “...I’ll never get tired of these larger-than-life cities. The lights, the shops, the people…just looking around this place…makes me forget I’m dead.” Sayuri then said, “Well you’re not dead at the moment. You just have a Summoner’s permission to stay among the living. Or haven’t you noticed the Halo above you yet?”Sora looked above, and sure enough, there was a shining, golden Halo hovering above his head! Sora grabbed it and examined it, almost amazed he even had one, and asked, “So…this Halo…is mine?!” Sayuri nodded and explained, “This radiant little thing is the symbol of one who has passed away, yet walks among the living. I gotta say, yours is probably the SHINIEST Halo I’ve ever seen!”Sayuri then took a chance and gently scratched Sora’s head like he was a pet while saying, “You must have been a REALLY good-hearted kid, and cute too! I can tell, the girls are going to fawn over you!” Sora blushed while saying, “Let’s…try not to get their hopes up though, I’m not exactly here forever, I have a job to do after all.”(SMACK)“OUCH!”Sayuri smacked Sora on the head with her giant pipe and said, “You may be dedicated, boy, but you can sure as Hell be thoughtless!”Sayuri then took Sora through the shopping district and said, “I didn’t summon a heartbreaker, lad. I summoned YOU, a hero who died to save a woman he loved. And since you’re in this realm, you might as well consider the lifestyle of a single young man until your job is done! So first, before we get to work, I want to see how well you can handle a new atmosphere, new territory. Yes, I want to see you get along with others! If you fail, if you break a heart, IF YOU SLIP UP, BOY, then your second chance will be revoked! And you will be drifting in the Final World forever, just like earlier!”Sora then said, “It’s not exactly an easy feat when you have a Halo above you. When people see this, they’ll know I’m-.” Sayuri however said, “-Now-Now Sora, I’ll have no complaints from you regarding your status! This Halo above you will not harbor any negative reaction, it can only be seen by those with a Spiritual Connection to the realms beyond, Like me and my Husband…wherever that lazy old pervert is.” Sayuri then took Sora to a shop and said, “Here’s a good spot to show me your people skills, kiddo! Behave around the nice folks, and remember, slip up, AND IT’S BACK TO THE DIRT YOU GO, ZOMBIE.”Sora nodded as Sayuri gave him a shopping list and sent him in…As Sora walked in, Sayuri smiled and said, “...Such a modest little Angel I summoned. He’s going to work splendidly with everyone, including dear Asuka! Oh, speaking of which…” Sayuri then picked up her phone and made a call, “...Hey Asuka, it’s Grandma. I have a Birthday Present for you.”Inside, Sora just picked up Tamagoyaki and Gourd Strips. While looking at the list, Sora said, “Let’s see…Cucumber, Mitsuba, Shiitake Mushrooms…strange, these sound like…” Sora suddenly realized what he was shopping for, “THESE ARE INGREDIENTS! I think I know this recipe! I remember hearing about this from a few customers in the Le Grand Bistrot from Twilight Town. They were sad that the restaurant wasn’t familiar with this Sushi recipe, calling it…’Futomaki’, I think. It was somewhat of a rolled up delicacy, comparable to other rolled-up foods, except…Sushi. Hmm…is the master thinking about cooking Futomaki?”“Did I hear someone say ‘Futomaki’?”Just then, a girl with short brown hair and eyes walked over from a corner over to Sora and asked, “You’re here looking for Futomaki, right?” The girl’s cute and curious face made Sora blush as he said, “S-SOMEONE I KNOW, she wanted me to pick up a few essentials. The listed things were…familiar. I heard they could be used to make Futomaki, at least, according to a restaurant I used to work in.”“...hmm, hey, so what do you have?” The girl asked. Sora nodded and let her see what he picked up…The girl then said, “Looks like you have 2 of the ingredients. Great! Keep searching and you’ll find the rest.” Sora nods, but then, he asks, “Um, can I ask you to show me around the shop? It’s my first time inside another store since-...(ahem) since my hometown! I just moved, so I’m…kind of a stranger here.” The girl giggled and said, “Aww, lost little lamb in a new barnyard, huh? I guess I can show you around. Let’s start with the next subject…” The girl then looked at Sora’s shopping list and said, “...Looks like the Cucumbers are next on the list. Follow me, sir! We’ll go pick some up together!”The girl took the initiative and guided Sora through the shop, helping him pick up the Cucumbers, then the Shiitake Mushrooms, as they spent their time together, Sora said to her, “So these ingredients were for Futomaki all along, I gotta say, I wouldn’t have figured it out sooner if it wasn’t for you. Are you a chef too?” The girl answered, “Well, I AM living on my own, a girl’s gotta know her recipes, same as the boys, right?” Sora nodded and said, “Y-yeah, living on our own kinda forces us to get used to doing things for ourselves. But now that I think about it, it looks like you’re buying the same ingredients. Are you going to make some too?” The girl nodded and said, “I sure am! I’m actually a pro when it comes to Futomaki. I literally LIVE for Futomaki as if it was a second way of living for me.”“Heh, that’s cute. Well then, I hope I can cook to your standards when I’m given the chance again.” Sora’s words made the girl blush red all over, as Sora asked, “Um…hey, are you alright?” The girl nodded and said, “Y-Y-YOU BET! W-well then, how about we take our ingredients to the cashier?” Sora nodded and followed the girl over…Back outside, Sayuri smiled at Sora as he was happily conversing with the cute girl…“Good boy, Sora, you earned that radiant Halo. Now, you know your mission, to save our world from the Four Fiends, and now…I leave you to my Granddaughter. She’ll take care of you while I’m watching…”Sayuri began to walk away from the shop, and then, like the sands of a beach and the desert, she vanished into the wind…Sora then approached the cashier and purchased the ingredients. The girl was about to pay for hers next when suddenly…Crowds of people were running for their life!Sora sighed and said, “And JUST when I finished picking up what Miss Sayuri needed!” The girl suddenly asked, “H-HEY WAIT, DID YOU SAY-?!” Sora then said, “STAY IN HERE, WHATEVER THESE PEOPLE ARE RUNNING FROM IS DANGEROUS!!” The girl watched as Sora left with his groceries while heading to the danger…“...Sayuri…that’s my Granny’s name…”“Asuka dear, I know Granny hasn’t been around to see you lately, but I wanted to tell you something amazing since it’s your Birthday. Yer old granny summoned someone to help you and the girls against the demon shadows called the Heartless. You’ll meet this person very soon, so be a good girl and show this whipper snapper the ropes while he's in town. Happy Birthday my beloved Granddaughter, your gift will be coming in 3…2…”Remembering how she coincidentally met Sora the same time Sayuri’s call ended, Asuka knew what she had to do next…Back outside, hundreds of people still ran for their lives, making it hard for Sora to reach the source of their anguish and horror. Despite the difficulty of squeezing through the crowd, Sora still knew this HAD to be settled with if he wanted to return to the Realm of the Living…“Glad YOU’RE not here Simba, seeing a stampede would set you off. Still, maybe I can reach the Heartless by…rooftop?” Sora then sneaked into the alleyways and climbed up by the ladders and balconies up to the rooftops.As Sora reached the rooftops, he released a breath of satisfaction while rushing towards the danger, “Climbing and Exploring, MAN I love it! THIS is why I love exploring other worlds!”After a few minutes of running through the rooftops, Sora soon began to slow down as the sounds of screams and cries began to lower, making the area sound eerily quiet……and in the screaming’s place……came the sudden rumbling of a massive rushing horde of mad runners!The Heartless were INDEED in the world, attacking the city! As Sora witnessed the massive amount of Shadows rushing and climbing over each other for a taste of Heart and Flesh alike, he hopped down in front of them and pointed the Keyblade towards them while saying, “These Four Fiends that are threatening the world, it would only make sense their army would be a number of you Heartless. Devour Hearts until there isn’t a layer thick enough to protect the Heart of this world from being devoured…”The Shadows then attempted to pounce on Sora, who surprised them by decapitating the approaching Heartless and throwing his Keyblade into the group, destroying every Heartless in his direction!“I fought so many of you already, so would it kill at least ONE of you to learn from our encounters?! I am so sick of fighting you creeps! LEAVE THE WORLDS ALONE!!!” Sora then charged towards the group of Heartless and began slashing and demolishing the tens of thousands that came at him…From the rooftops however, one familiar girl watched over him and wondered, “Granny, this boy…you summoned HIM to save our world? Poor thing…he’s…he’s so angry…”Elsewhere, 4 large creatures were bowing before a beautiful brown-haired woman wearing revealing red and white clothes, on a throne with a large sash over it featuring an insignia of a thorny rose. One approached her and reported, “The elder succeeded Mistress. Forgive us, but the hag succeeded in summoning a warrior. He is…a Haloed Keyblade Wielder…named Sora.”The woman opened her eyes, blue with pink flower-shapes inside her pupils, and smiled…End of Chapter 2

KH AfterMath: Escape from the Boiling Isles Ch.2
Outside the Owl House, everyone gets ready for the rescue of their friends trapped at the Conformatorium. Luz changed from her school uniform to her regular earth cloths and Eda gives Sora the bracket she was working on. Sora asks, “You want me to wear this?” Eda answers “Yep. From what Luz told me, this bracelet was meant to make sure you wouldn’t use your Keyblade like your friends. But don’t worry, after a little tinkering I made sure you can freely use your weapon.” Sora shrugs and equipments the bracelet and asks again, “OK, so why exactly am I wearing this band then?” She explains, "Your asking now after wearing it? Man you're too guidable. I changed it to act as a conduit to let me borrow your magic as fuel instead of the Boiling Isles. As long as you wear that and I have this ring, we’re connected.” Eda shows him her pearl ring as it glows just like Sora’s bracelet. She continues, “I mean I COULD take it by force but I think you and your friends would hate that, plus Luz.” She says as she tests the power by drawing a magic circle in the air and unleashes a powerful magic beam, destroying a tree trunk into splinters! She sequels, “Ooh! The Power! Man I miss this! Maybe I should steal it!” But Luz buts in with arms crossed lecturing her, “Eda.” Of course Eda laughs it off, “Kidding, kidding! Though the small sacrifice is that it’s going to split half of your magic.” Sora’s mp bar is now halved. He says, “Oh well I’m sure I can manage as long as I have you, Donald and Luz.” Lilith compliments Eda as she opens her palm to her. “Always one step ahead sister. Now may I have mine?” But Eda says, “Sorry sis, it only works two ways. And like Sora says, we have enough for now.” Lilith pouts, “Typical, but I still wish to help in someway.” Eda suggests, “You can, try patrolling the town ahead of us and see if you can find anything new about Amity or the Heartless. I’m wanted again now that I’m helping them, so obviously I can’t go alone or fly ahead.” Lilith nods and gets her cloak up as she says, “Very well, please be careful Edalyn.” Just as she was about to leave, Eda calls hers, “Wait! Take King with you! He might sniff out any danger.” Offended, King goes, “I’m not a dog!” Luz bribes him, “I’ll give you a Kinggy snack if you do!” King excitingly says, “Gasp! Marshmallow s’mores galore? OK I’m in. Better not slow me down!” Lilith in a deadpan tone goes, “Oh joy, I’m taking the demon out for a walk.” As they both disappear into the forest, they make their move too as Eda instructs them, “Ok listen up, we’re heading into town too so we better cover our selves” Eda gets her cloak up to cover her large hair just as Luz does too, revealing big kitty cat ears on her hoodie. Sora looks back at his hoodie to as he puts it on and says, “Oh I keep forgetting I have one too. Hey guys look at me, I’m a creepy Organization member! Oooooh!” He waves his arms around while the hoody nearly covers his eyes. Goofy points out, “Oh just like Roxes.” Sora realizes saying, “Oh yeah I keep forgetting that too.” Luz gets in on the fun saying, “I don’t know who that is, but if you think that’s scary? Check this out!” She turns around and reveals her eyelids turned inside out as she touches them going, “Bloop bloop!” Sora goes, “Ew that is so gross! Can you teach me that?” Eda cuts them off, “Guys, quit wasting time…besides here’s something really scary!” She removes her hand from her wrist as Sora and his friends panicked! “See, it’s like Luz’s thumb trick but a whole hand, take that! Alright enough messing around, let’s move it!” She inserts her hand in her wrist socket and Sora asks Luz, “Is she OK?” Luz explains, “Don’t worry, that tends to happen for witches when they get older…I think?” They enter the forest and get back to Bonesborough in order to find the Conformatoriam. Going through town, most of the people retreated but there were plenty of Heartless roaming the streets. Two types Sora and his friends mostly fought were called Tengu; flying heartless with tiny wings but large bodies while they wore a beaked mask and a hoody and carried cleavers. The other were Cisors; scissor like Heartless that can split into two blades while spinning in the air to strike at random opponents. But once together, they follow their victim to chomp them up. Luckily Sora can grab them by the handle and strike back at other enemies. As they kept going, Eda slouched as she said, “Cripes, I never thought there were so many of these Heartless.” Luz asks Sora, “What exactly are Heartless?” He explains, “Well, Heartless are born from the darkness in people’s hearts and sometimes they enter other worlds to steal other hearts.” Eda thought out loud, “Well that explains why they’re here. The Boiling Isles is known to have people with magic within their heart, in fact I have a diagram to show how it’s implanted with a special sac.” Luz stops her, “You don’t have to Eda, I still have nightmares from that.” Luz also explains to Sora, “The Boiling Isles is also known to have many creatures that humans imagine become real here. Maybe these guys aren’t born from people’s hearts but more like humans are imagining them because they’re scared?” Sora answers, “Maybe? I’ve been fighting these enemies for a long time now, freeing other worlds from them.” Luz excitingly goes, “Oh man it’s just like in my book adventures, fighting the darkness and keeping the peace. You know you remind me of one of those characters, I’m just not sure who” Sora says, “Oh well I’m sure it will come back to you later. Hey since you know what my friends looks like, what’s Amity like?” Luz gets out her phone and says, “Oh here’s a picture of her.” Sora looks at the pics and one video recording of her and Amity during Grom night, but notices the weapons behind them as Sora asks, “Whoa, is that a buster sword behind you at 1:57?” Luz answers, “Not sure what it’s called, but yeah it’s pretty huge. Ever used one?” Sora shakes his head saying, “Nah, but I know a guy who is like crazy good at it!” Soon their conversation was cut short when a cluster of Heartless started rampaging around the square and started to swarm around in the air. Luz asks, “Whoa, why are they all together like that?” Sora answers with his weapon out, “Because it makes the fight harder, not for me though!” Eda and others join in as she says, “Good, I like the challenge!” Mini boss: Tower of Darkness. As the Heartless swarm around, Sora slashes them apart while Eda and Luz use their fire magic to burn them away. Eventually they die out and scatter but something else starts coming. Donald almost shakes as he asks, “What happening? You think they’re calling for help?” Goofy, “Maybe, but it feels bigger!” Soon a new type of Heartless stomps in town. It resembled a giant egg but with it’s claw feet hatched out as it stomps around like a giant hen. It cries it’s muffled caws in the shell, ready to attack. This was called the Eggsicutioner! Eda asks, “Is that a giant egg?” Luz asks Donald, “Is that yours?” Donald exclaims, “Huh no!” Just as the Eggsicutioner caws, Sora switches his Keyblade to Calamity Cane, a Keyblade he obtained from Amphibia! As the 1st boss fight starts, Sora and Luz and others go for the legs as the Eggsicutioner tries to stomp them. As it looses it’s footing, it falls while the others attack the shell! They kept repeating this step until eventually it’s health became low enough for Sora to beat it with a finisher by transforming his Keyblade into a mace like weapon. He strikes his weapon and cracks the shell, knocking out the Eggsicutioner. Eda wipes her hands up and down going, “Well that takes care of the rotten egg, come on.” As they hurried on, Goofy noticed something as he asked, “Wait, shouldn’t that Heartless be disappearing?” Sora waves him to hurry as he says, “Goofy come on, we don’t have time.” Goofy couldn’t wait and decided to run with them. But just as they left, the Heartless’s cracked shell glows as it leaks out a ghost like Heartless, dubbed Curse! The Curse floats around and the Eggsicutioner gets back up as it wobbles around like it had no mind.Meanwhile back at the cell of the Conformatorium, Terra tries to test out his theory as the others watch. Amity asks, “You sure this will work?” Terra answers, “Hopefully. Here goes nothing.” As they wait, Terra taps on his left shoulder pad as his body glows bright. The shine disappears and shows Terra covered in armor, with the bracelet broken in the process. Terra summons his Keyblade as it appears in his hand and exclaims, “ It works!” Ven and Aqua smile and nod at each other as they do the same too, getting the same result. With their Keyblades active, they all strike at the magic cell door, breaking the power as it turns off. Amity hands glow with her magic back and summons her abomination as she says, “All right back in business, let’s get the heck out of here!” Soon all four of them fought their way out the prison. For bonuses, they freed a couple prisoners that were never meant to be jailed, like Tiny Nose, who got caught again for some reason. They even found a bunch of treasure boxes too, which is pretty normal for Keyblade wielders. Eventually all that fighting finally led them to a center arena, which was close to Boneborough. Amity speaks, “Glad we’re finally out but uh how come you guys turned your armor off when we got out of jail? I mean it’s actually pretty cool than just being shoulder pads.” Aqua explains, “Thanks, but it takes a lot of magic to use it and best to save it for emergencies.” Terra talks as he looks ahead, “And it looks like things are about to get a lot more dangerous.” He was as right as Warden Wrath came to the center to meet his escapees. Wrath speaks with his large voice, “How dare you make a mockery of my prison! We just had the floors waxed and you walked all over the place with your grubby feet!” Ven screams back, “We’re getting out of this prison and stopping the Heartless!” The Warden talks back, “Heartless? Oh right, the Inchies. Heh, sorry but no you're not. By the orders of the Emperor, the Heartless will run amok while you three fugitives will be captured!” Aqua, with concern goes, “But what about the people’s safety? Isn’t that more important?” Not caring, Wrath goes, “That doesn’t concern me. The Emperor’s orders are absolute.” When she heard that, Amity speaks her mind, “You may think you’re in control, but the truth is you're nothing more than a lapdog for the Emperor!” That’s when Warden Wrath got angry as he changes his shape shifting arms into a sickle and mace saying, “I’m the one in charge here. Especially with these creatures!” Soon two Heartless come near the Warden. One was a giant crab like claw and the other, a giant gauntlet with one thumb and three fingers, with holes at each tip. Together, they are called Lock and Key! 2nd boss fight, round 1: Ven and Amity focused on taking on Wrath while Terra took care of the Claw Heartless “Lock” and Aqua taking on the Gauntlet Heartless “Key”. The Lock Heartless tries to chomp Terra in its clutches but Terra fights it off with his strength while Aqua avoids the shots fired by the Key Heartless. Soon nearly half the enemies health was depleted as the Warden said. “How unfair!” Both Lock and Key latch on to Warden Wrath’s arms as new weapons to be worn. With glee, the Warden goes, “Much Better!” Round 2: Now all four focused on Warden Wrath and his newly armed Heartless! Amity used her Abomination to fight against him, but Wrath squishes it with his claw hand while shooting with the other hand. Terra and Aqua blocks the attacks while Ven tries to strike. Wrath extends his right arm to hit Ven, but instead Terra jumps up in the air and stabs right into the Claw, making it disappear. Wrath takes his mask off and tries to breath fire at them but luckily Aqua cooled him down by extinguishing the flame with water magic. He tries to strike her by shooting her, which almost works. But that was all a distraction as Amity created another abomination which swallows Ven in to act as armor. Wrath notices the abomination coming to him and tries to shoot it with the Key, but Aqua strikes it making it disappear as well! Soon the abomination gets Ven out of it’s body and tosses at Warden Wrath, trying to make him fall! Unfortunately the Warden still held it’s ground as Terra said, “Looks like those two are gone but the warden still has some fight in him.” Ven asks Amity, “So how did Luz beat this guy before?” She answers, “I’m not sure, I think she said she defeated him with something called fires of works? Aqua figured, “In other words-“ Terra finishes that thought, “Fire works.” They all smile and raise their Keyblades to perform a Fireworks finishing attack. Wrath panics as he goes, “Oh no, not again!” And boom! Above the Conformatorium, once the again, it shows a display of fireworks as the Warden gets smoked and defeated lying on the ground. Amity grabs Wrath’s tentacles just as the others did and tie him up. Amity tells him off, “Next time you threaten my friends, don’t!” The Warden, still dizzy goes, “Who are you, wha - gah” As he passes out, Ven says, “Guess he won’t be telling your parents if he doesn’t remember you.” Happily, Amity goes, “Then that works out fine, come on!” Soon they made their escape and finally arrived at Boneborough. Aqua says, “Looks like we’re finally out.” But Amity points saying, “Wait what’s that?” They see the large egg like Heartless, the Eggsicutioner, wobbling around town as Terra says, "Looks like a Heartless, we better take care of it before it hurts someone.” Ven also points, “Wait, somethings coming?” They notice a small creature wearing an animal skull running to them. All three were about to attack but Amity stops them as the creature said, “Amity! I finally found you!” Ven asks, “Seriously, what is it?” Amity explains, “It’s OK, he’s friendly. I mean he’s weird looking but he’s friendly. King how did you get here?” King explains as well, “Luz and the others are here. Even Sora.” The other Keyblade wielders were surprised when Aqua asks, “Sora’s here?” Terra goes, “I can’t believe it!” And Ven added, “Which means Donald and Goofy must be here too.” Amity asks, “What about Luz? Is Eda here too?” King explains, “Yeah, and Lilith as well. She was with me until I lost her. But I’m sure she’s fine.” Terra says, “Well you better come with us, we need to stop that Heartless from causing havoc, come on.” But King asks, “But what about the others” Amity answers, “I’m sure will find them, we should deal with this first.” While the others went to chase the loose heartless, Sora, Luz and others were close by. Soon they saw Lilith coming to warn them as she exclaims, “Edalyn!” Eda asks, “Sis, what’s happening?” Lilith explains, “So far, there’s been a break out at the Conformatoriam. Clearly they're trying to cover it up. Also a large egg like Heartless has been causing havoc in the city.” Sora calmed her down going, “Oh don’t worry, we took care of that!” Reluctant, Lilith goes, “Are you sure? It’s still running amok in town.” But Luz noticed someone missing as she asked, “Hey where’s King?” Trying to avoid eye contact, Lilith goes, “Oh I ah - I lost him.” Which worried Luz going, "You what?!” Lilith tried to explain, “He got lost in the crowd, I’m sure he’ll turn up!” Eda furiously says to her, “You better be right or else I -“ But in a split second, she noticed a ghost like Heartless was about to attack her sister as she exclaimed, “Lilith look out!” She moves her out of the way and the Curse posses her body! Soon Eda starts to change with feathers popping out of her body and her jewel on her chest changes from gold to black, just as her eyes! Luz panics saying, "Oh no not again!” Goofy asks, “A-again? What's happening to her?” Luz explains, “It’s her curse, she turns into an Owl beast. I wasn’t sure if it stopped or not after last time.” Sora asks, “Wait, who cursed her?” Lilith was about to answer but Donald interrupts her as he gets his wand out saying, “Never mind that, we need to stop her and get that Heartless out.” Mini boss fight: Owl Beast. Eda the Owl Beast tries to strike her friends with claw attacks and avoids them by almost flying around. Luckily Sora uses Thundaga attacks to bring her down while Luz tried to call her name to calm her down. Eventually with these repeated attacks, Eda started to change back as she coughed up feathers complaining, “Ug, never thought I’d miss the taste of feathers again. Turns out I still don’t.” Lilith and Luz help her up as Goofy asks, “So you had this curse before?” Eda answers, “Yeah, and now I share it with my sister here. Not sure if she can turn like I did but who knows.” Sora wondered, “But then who cursed you?” Eda avoids the question stating, “Kid let it go, let’s just -“ But Lilith intervenes admitting, “It was me, I did it.” Surprised, Sora asks, “You? You cursed your own sister?” Just as Goofy asks too, “But why?” Lilith looks down as Eda fills in the blanks, “Sigh, basically she was jealous when we were kids. We were going to be part of a coven but only one could get accepted through battle. She knew I was too good so she tried to curse me by making my magic be gone for a day. But like the idiot that she is, turns out that was a different kind of curse. I didn’t even want to join in the first place. I just wanted to go where my sister goes. She spent her whole life trying to capture me just so the emperor would help, course that didn’t work out. Things got worse but eventually she tried to make things better by sharing my pain with hers to equal out the curse, which is why are magic isn’t working so well. That about sums it up?” Lilith agreed, “Yes it does.” Sora had a sad look as he said, “You know, in some worlds I recently visited, there’s a common theme I noticed” Luz curiously asked, “And what’s that?” and Sora basically answered, “Friends betraying friends. And you're not the only ones who went through that.” Goofy, being positive goes, “At least you're trying to make things right.” Luz added, “And she’s getting there.” Lilith felt a little better as she apologizes to Eda, “I’m very sorry I lost King.” Eda accepted her apology going, “Eh don’t worry, he’s a fighter.” But soon Eda starts coughing and nearly pukes out the Curse Heartless as it floats away. Eda wipes her mouth and says,“Ug, I think that thing just siphoned some of my magic and possibly my brunch too!” Donald exclaims! “After it!” Out of Bonesborough, Sora, Luz and the others enter a huge field as they chase down the flying Curse. But soon they lost track as Goofy points out, “Oh it looks like it got away” But Sora saw something else as he says, “Hey I think I see King over there!” Luz also saw someone as she exclaims, “And is that - gasp! Amity!” Amity reacts back, “Luz!” Amity was almost hesitant to hug her but Luz did first as embraces her. Lilith comes near them as she said, “Amity! Thank goodness you’re safe.” Amity didn’t want to look Lilith in the eyes as she said, “Um yeah hi” It was a bit of an awkward moment there until Sora came near them too as Luz said, “Sora! This is my friend Amity! The one that got kidnapped too!” She says as Luz still has her arm around Amity. Amity waves as Sora says, “Hi ya.” Amity shakes hands with him as she says, “Hello, you're friends told me a lot about you. You must have been really helpful.” Sora shows Donald and Goofy as he says, “Thanks, these are my friends.” Amity looks at them and says, “Nice to meet you - Ummm” But after seeing them, she didn’t know how to react as Luz comforts her, "I know they seem a little odd but they’re pretty cool.” Amity shrugs and goes, “Honestly they’re a bigger improvement over Hooty.” Goofy agreed, “Glad to hear that!” But Donald disagreed stating, “That didn’t sound like a compliment”. Soon the other Keyblade wielders came by to as Aqua calls, “Sora!” Sora sees them but didn’t smile while having his arms crossed and tapping his foot. Things got awkward again but Ven breaks the ice saying, “ Sigh, I’m guessing you're angry for not telling you.” Sora breaks his serious look and smiles saying, “Well not anymore, I’m just glad you're all OK.” Finally Eda comes last who was nearly dead tired and complaining, “ Well I might as well be the angry one. All the pain and effort to finally find your friends better be -“ But soon her attitude changes when she sees Terra and happily says, “Well hello handsome stud! Time to act like a space pirate!” She instantly comes close to him as Terra gets startled saying, “Uh hello?” Eda continues, “If I’d seen what you’d look like I would have come sooner! By the way, nice haircut!” She says comparing and pointing out their similar tipped hairdos. Terra could only say, “ Uh thank you?” Mean while back at the Conformatorium, the soldiers try to untie Wardan Wrath from his own tentacle arms but then the Wrath screams, “Aaaah!” The soldiers panic as one of them says, “Wah, what’s the matter sir? Did we hurt you?” Wrath exclaims, “No! I don’t know why, but I feel like my heart just got broken into a million pieces and it has something to do with that strong brunette with the large pants! Groan, I feel like eating a tub of Ice Scream right now!” The other solider goes, “Oh my favorite is boo berry! You can really taste the moans in those.” The others nod and agreed with him too. Back to the filed, they couldn’t help but laugh as Terra felt embarrassed and being hit on by Eda. Aqua goes, “Now you know how I felt when I got hit on by Zack.” Sora asks, “Zack?” Aqua explains, “A young solider in training I met back then, he carried a sword on his back.” Luz thought, “Oh is he the guy you were talking about with the big sword?” But Sora corrected her, “Nah, the one I know was named Cloud, probably unrelated.” Luz nodded and tries to introduce Eda to the others, “Anyway, Eda since you just met Terra, these are his friends, Aqua and Ven!” Eda has her hand around Terra’s shoulder as she sees them and goes, “Oh hey how ya doin. Sooo you're not dating the blue haired girl right?” She said as she turned back to Terra and points behind her. Tera was about to answer until Donald interrupts them, “Hey! Weren’t we trying to find that Heartless ghost?” Ven wondered to, “Oh yeah, we were chasing down a Heartless too.” King points up asking, “Are those it?” They all look up and see the Curse and the Eggsicutionar reunited. The Curse enters back into the Eggsicutionar and soon the egg hatches and breaks apart in a blinding light. The Heartless gains a new form as a giant owl like creature with long arms and legs, and very large eyes. It’s new form was called Andras! Eda, with her hands on her hips and frustrated, goes, “Dang and just when things were getting good. That thing must have used my magic to make that rotten egg get stronger.” Sora gets his Keyblade out and switches to Fractured Wand acquired from Mewni. He says, “Don’t worry, now that we're all here, we can all take it down together!”...

KH AfterMath: Escape from the Boiling Isles Ch.1
, In the sky, the Gummi ship comes flying into the new world with Sora, Donald and Goofy on a new mission. Sora piloting asks, “So is this the place?” Goofy complies, “Yep, looks like it! Lot of a weird white mountains and red trees.” But as they kept getting closer, they notice something from their birds eye view of the land as Donald exclaims, “Sora, the entire land, it’s shaped like a fallen-“ Sora finishes his sentence, “giant…” *Title sequence* a silhouette of a owl flies above a cut out of a forest and when the owl is gone, the forest cut out forms a body with legs, arms and a head all laid out, with mountains and a red forest forming all over the body. Words form over as if boiling lava spelling the word “Boiling Isles”. As they landed, they got off by foot and walked to a near by town. Sora exhales going, “Welp, here we go again.” Donald complains, “You already said that before.” Sora laughs, “Ha sorry, I guess I’m just worried and trying to keep my cool.” Goofy cheers him up, “I’m sure we’ll find them Sora, they’re just as strong as you so they should be A ok.” Sora smiles at that thought, “Yeah, of course…I just wish they told me before.” Sora remembers back before entering this world, they visited the Mysteries Tower after locking a Keyhole in Amphibia, preventing anymore Heartless from harming that world. Before they do the same for the Boiling Isles, they presented them selves to Master Yen-Sid with Goofy carrying something on his back. Sora asks the sorcerer. “Master Yen-Sid with all due respect…what were you thinking?!” Donald panics. “Sora!” Sora apologizes of course, “ Sorry, sorry but I just want to know why would you let them go off like that? It took us a while to get them free and now they’re all caught again!” Yen-Sid rests his eyes and calmly says, “I can understand that you're frustrated Sora since you care about them as your friends. But it was their decision and they wished to repay you for everything you’ve done.” Goofy asks, “Dale mentioned they’re trapped in a place called the Boiling Isles?” Yen-Sid answers,“Yes, I’m familiar with that area. A witch who lives there contacted me about their capture.” Sora asks, ‘A witch?” Just as Donald asked too, “You mean like Maleficent, Master Yen-Sid?” Yen-Sid, who had an unsure look while rubbing the back of his head goes, “Well yes, but a good witch…of sorts” Sora, with a peculiar look asks, “So we can trust her?” He answers, “Yes. Edalyn Clawthorne, the Owl Lady. Find her and she’ll help you find your friends.” In a hurry, Sora goes, “Right let’s get going.” But Goofy stops him saying, “Wait Sora, the other thing!” Sora remembered to saying, “Oh right, Goofy, show him the thing!” Goofy reveals the large item from his back to be a blank doll. Almost surprised, Yen-Sid exclaims, “A replica?” Sora explains, “We fought against this in Amphibia and we have no idea who made it? We thought the guys at Radiant Garden could take a look at it” Yen-Sid strokes his beard and worryingly says, “This is troubling news, I’ll have them study this and find the source. Chirithy.” At the right side of the room from Sora, Chirithy, the Dream Eater enters the room as she answers, “You called Master Yen-Sid?” In joy, Sora kneels down and hugs her, “Chirithy! It’s good to see you again! What are you doing here?” Yen-Sids explains, “She came with the others when they visited and then she stayed here while they went to the Boiling Isles. She’ll let Ienzo and others know while you go on ahead.” He lets go of Chirithy and stands up, “Sure, see you later.” But Chirithy grabs one of his legs and screams, “Wait Sora! There’s something important you need to know!” Sora almost loses his balance and asks, “Oh sure, what is it?” Chirithy lets go of him but was hesitant to answer, “I…I can’t tell you right now, only when you finish dealing with the Heartless in that world, then I’ll tell you.” Sora was confused but in a hurry says, “Um OK, can’t wait to hear it, see ya!” While they leave, Chirithy looks down with a sad look as Yen-Sid, with concern, asks, “Is it really wise to tell him?” She sadly answers, “He needs to know….even if it doesn’t feel like he’s made a difference, he still needs to know.” Back to the present in the Boiling Isles, the three heroes enter the town of Bonesborough. While they walked around, they noticed all the strange and weird citizens resembling monsters from old legends. Luckily they don’t mean any harm when they notice the out siders. Sora says in comparison, “This place is about as creepy as Halloween Town, awesome.” Donald complains, “Gah, you have weird taste you know that.” But Goofy saw something stranger than the citizens as he says, “Hey fellas, did you all noticed we didn’t see any Heartless anywhere?” Sora looks around and says, “Yeah your right Goofy, maybe we can ask someone if anyone seen them.” They look at any citizen and noticed a small boy near the playground and Goofy asks, “Excuse me little boy, have you seen any Heartless?” As the little boy turns around, he turns out be a monster with no eyes and only razor sharp teeth covering his face as he says with a deep voice. “I don’t know what’s a Heartless, I’m just a kid.” They all panic as Donald screams, “Wah! Monster!” They all get their weapons out and the little monster looks around screaming too, “Monsters? Where? I’m scared of monsters! waaah” The little creature cries, even though it sounds more like a roar as he runs away. Soon all the citizens noticed the boy screaming and saw who scared him. A old woman with a large nose and hoodie exclaims, “Oh me oh my! Those bullies scared poor little Braxzes!” Another with three eyes noticed what Sora was holding as he screams. “It’s a Razor Locker! Run, they’ll bring the Inchies!” Soon everyone starts panicking and screaming too as they all run away while the three outsiders look bewildered as Sora said, “Razor Lockers?” and Goofy scratching his head going, “The Inchies?” Soon, foot soldiers with pointed masks start flooding into the town square with swords and were ready to fight the heroes. One of them goes, “Capture the Razor Locker, along with his hideous minions” Donald in offense says, “Hey! We’re not hideous” The other soldier say, “So you admit you're just minions! Fine, let’s capture the plain looking minions! For the Emperor!” *Mini-boss battle* The fight starts off with the soldiers as they wave their swords around. The fight wasn’t all that tough as Donald beats them with his magic, Goofy knocking them out with his shield and Sora just doing what he does best as an unstoppable hero. Once it was over, the soldiers started to retreat. Sora looking kind of bored goes, “Oh over already? Well, that was quick” But Donald warns him, “Don’t get over confident! Look!” Soon more soldiers came, but this time, they wore white cloaks and were ready to take their turn. Sora, who was eager goes, “All right, time for round two” But just as he was about to fight, one of the white cloaked soldiers had a crossbow and was aiming at Sora. As he shoots, the object was shot. But it was no arrow, but a collar like projectile, which was getting closer to Sora without him knowing it. But luckily an ice spell spike grew from a parchment on the ground and hits the projectile, shattering in two. The one who shot it goes, “Dang! That was the last one, we don’t have anymore more of those” Sora noticed the object and tells Donald, “Thanks, that was close” But Donald replies, “My Blizziga magic didn’t do that” It turns out it was a stranger in a black cloak that saved them as she introduces her self, “From the humblest of beginnings, a hero will rise. For I am the great powerful witch in training!” She throws off her cloak to reveal her self, wearing a black uniform with multi colored arms and legs and says her name! “Luz Noceda! The human from another world!” She says aloud as she uses her light magic to appear from her palms, thanks to the paper markings. Everyone was in complete silence who didn’t know how to react to this, except Goofy and Sora who clap as Sora compliments her, “Wow that was impressive! Go human!” Luz smiles as she whispers to her self and almost cries, “Nailed it!” But then the clapping stops as all the soldiers scream to capture them all. Luckily their sight was covered as smoke bombs exploded in front of them and another being appears as she grabs Luz and tells the others, “Luz, this is no time to be an entertainer, do that during our sales to buyers. Hey Razor Locker guy, you and your other freakazoids better come with us or else!” Goofy asks, “Or else will get captured by the soldiers?” The hooded woman adds, “Oh yeah that could happen, I was actually just threatening you guys. Now come on!” The witch sees the shattered object and grabs it while making a run for it with the rest of the fugitives. They escape the plaza and go into the forest. Soon all five of them lost the soldiers from the chase and were coming to a plain field. The newcomers all notice the big house with a large eye like window. The woman puts her hood down, reveling her large grey hair dew, pointy ears and had two colored eyes, one grey, other yellow on the right. She stands near the door as she says, “Welcome to my humble abound, Hooty we got company.” Soon the door knocker with an owl face becomes alive as it stretches his neck out from the door and screams in a high pitch voice, “Oh boy! Company! I love meeting new faces, even though they leave the moment I start talking, I’m not sure why?” Sora and his friends panic as he says, “It can talk?” Luz explains, “Yep! This is Hooty, he really, really, REALLY loves making friends.” Hooty exclaims, “I hope you all get to sleep over and brought your tooth brushes. I don’t need one since I only have a beak. But I sure love eating toothpaste, it’s minty!” The witch, who’s annoyed asks, “Hooty, just let us in already” Hooty does what she says, “Oh OK then.” Everyone gets inside and soon Donald was the last one, but instead Hooty shuts the door on him as Donald screams, “Hey what’s the big idea?” Hooty sarcastically says while twisting his neck around, “Oh nothin, it’s not like I have anything against geese who quack and make annoying sounds while stealing bread, hoot hoot!” Luz tries to help as she says, “Hooty be nice, let the unlucky ducky in.” Hooty complies, “Fiiiine!” He opens the door for Donald but just as he gets in, he shuts the door behind him as he purposely hits Donald’s fanny with feathers flying around. Donald rubs his bottom as he jumps around and yells, “Ow! Wraggin fraggin! What is your problem!?.” Hooty pretends to apologize, “Oops, my bad! Don’t let the Owl door hit you on the way in!” Donald, with narrow eyes goes, “You’re the owl door you-“ But the witch interrupts them, “Hooty, don’t be rude, sorry feathers.” Hooty reverts in the door as he last says, “What eva!” As they all came inside, the woman introduces herself, “Since Luz already did her intro, nows my time to steal the spot light. For I am -“ But Sora interrupts her, “Eda the Owl Lady right?” Then Eda slumps down as she says, “Oh I see the old guy told you about me, fine whatever. Welcome to the Owl House.” Eda sits on her worn out couch and puts the broken object she stole on the table and examines it. Sora and his friends look around them, seeing unknown items to them like potions and weapons, but also notices everyday junk seen from earth, hanging on the walls. But what catches Sora’s attention was the huge wanted poster of Eda with a $1,000,000 reward. He asks, “Wait, you're a criminal?” Eda explains as she tinkers with the object, “Yep, but I’m a criminal you can trust. After all, Yen-Sid contacted me and wanted my help. Talk about desperate.” Donald whispers to Goofy, “Should we really trust her?” Goofy complies, “I don’t know, Master Yen-Sid said she can help.” And someone from behind them says, “Don’t worry, she’s pretty reliable.” They both scream when they notice a small animal behind them The skull wearing stranger says, “Except when she forgets to feed me” Eda says to him, “King, where were you?” The demon named King tells her, “I was standing here all this time, you people didn’t notice me! Nnngh!” Due to his short stature, he would be hard to see, in fact he was almost shorter than Donald. Luz couldn’t help but go awe at his cute pout when she says, “Aw my wittle demon is ang-wee!” Sora asks him, “Whoa, you're really a demon?” King puffs up his chest as he does his own intro to. “Thats right human, THE KING OF DEMONS! Which is why I’m called King of course”. Sora tries to look impressed. “Oh really?” But whispers with Luz, “Is that true?” Luz answers, “Nah but just humor him.” After hearing King’s voice, Sora then asks Eda, “Hey he’s not related to an evil triangle with a top hat is he?” Eda rolls her eyes and answers that question, “No but I know who you’r referring to. Never mention that jerk ever again.” Sora goes, “Wow, that famous. Anyway um if you don’t mind me asking, what exactly were you wanted for?” Eda explains, “Oh for a lot of things, I’m pretty infamous for doing what ever I want. Especially by the Emperor” Goofy asks, “The Emperor?” Luz angrily explains, “Emperor Belos, some self proclaimed lord of the Boiling Isles who’s been trying to capture Eda for years just to join his coven of witches to follow his rules.” Eda exclaims, “Bah! Rules, how it burns my ears, course that part wasn’t really true after all and he exhaled all my crimes after my escape, just to make himself look good to the people.” Sora and his friends didn’t get the whole story but for now they wanted to know one thing as Sora asks, “Ok, well we like to know what happened to our friends?” Luz explains the situation, “Oh I can help with that, it all started this morning when I was training with Amity, a school friend.” Luz describes the morning events through a flashback as Luz and her other witch friend, Amity Blight were practicing their magic before school starts. Luz practices her plant magic against Amity as she uses her gelation like golem, an abomination to block her attacks. She was doing fine until Amity trips. Luz stops and asks, “Whoa! You OK?” She helps Amity up telling her, “Yeah, yeah I’m fine.” Still concerned, Luz asks, “Are you sure, what about your leg? It's still healing right?” Amity answers, “It’s fine Luz, really. I just wanna keep practicing with you. If the Emperor’s Coven ever attacks you again, I wanna be there to help.” Luz thought, “Yeah sure. But you know we don’t always have to practice, we can still hang out together.” Amity blushes at that thought and goes, “Whoa really? Well we can -“ But that moment best ruined when Amity gets a ping from her scroll like phone. Luz asks, “What’s up?” Amity answers as she reads the text aloud, “Looks like a Pentagram update? Something about Inchies?” Luz asks, “Inchies? You mean like fleas” Amity answers, “No, something bigger, like parasites of the Boiling Isles.” Luz asks, “Whoa seriously? What do they look like?” Amity’s eyes widen when she saw something coming out of the forest and points, “Apparently that!” The black like creatures try to attack them but the kids defended them selves using their magic. Amity’s abomination attacks the Heartless but gets overrun by them. Luz tries to defend her with plant and ice magic but it was no use as the Inchies almost swarm them. But soon three warriors slice them apart as the enemies hearts float out of their bodies and disappear. Luz says to one of them, “Thanks for the save!” The young blonde boy says, “No problem.” As they shake hands, Amity gets easily jealous as she gets in-between them and says, “Ahem, yeah well uh, we could have handled them ourselves, so…anyway this is my CLOSE friend Luz Noceda. My name is Amity Blight..who is also her close friend”. She repeats blushingly. The boy introduces himself, “Oh well nice to meet you, I’m Ven, these are my close friends, Aqua and Terra.” Luz notices the girls with blue hair and the young man and guesses, “Oh that tall one must be the tough guy and Aqua must be the calm one of the group and you um” She says as she tries to figure out what type of person Ven is as he complains. “Oh come on, couldn’t I be the tough one?” Terra smacks his back and smiles saying, “Only if you beat me in practice” Aqua puts her hands on her hips going, “So typical, girls can be tough to you know?” Luz agreed, “You said it girlfriend!” Amity panically says, “I could be tough too!” She attempts to make a tough look by puffing up her cheeks but almost gets dizzy. Luz warns her “Careful Amity, you’ll pass out if you do that, remember?” Amity regains her self and noticed something about them when she saw their ears. “Oof sorry? Hey, aren’t you all human?” They all look at each other and Terra says, “Well last time I checked yes.” Aqua determines, “I’m guessing humans are rare to come to this world?” Amity asks, “Well other than Luz, yes very much and those weapons, what was that? That was clearly not Boiling Isle magic.” The outsiders panic and didn’t know what to say since they could’t reveal themselves from another world. But soon the Emperor’s coven army ambushes them as one of them goes, “The Inchies are taken care of, capture the Razor Lockers!” Luz, Amity and the others didn’t know what was going on but decided to defend themselves. While the Keyblade wielders got their Keyblades out, the coven soldiers shoot three collars from their crossbows. Aqua, Ven and Terra all get hit by their wrists and their Keyblades instantly disappear. Ven panics as he tries to get his weapon back, “I-I can’t summon my Keyblade!” Terra says the same, “Mine too, something’s wrong” Aqua figured it out. “It’s these bracelets, they’re preventing us from using them.” Soon the soldiers caught them one by one. Luz and Amity were almost surrounded too as one of soldiers goes, “What about the others?” Another answers, “Capture them too, Warden Wrath will probably want revenge.” Soon Amity uses her abomination and makes it grab Luz to escape! Luz panics and attempts to get out of the goopy creature’s arms as she screams, “Amity! What are you doing?” Amity gets captured like the rest as she tells her last words, “Get Eda! I’ll be fine!” As it got far away, the abomination eventually disappears. Luz thought about going back but instead decided to head to the Owl House immediately. As she arrived, Eda was cooking by mixing something in a bowl and says, “Oh Luz! Great timing, I’m just making brunch!” The food in the bowl almost comes out and talks, “Hi! I’m brunch” Eda hits it with a spoon and tells it, “Get back in there” The food groans as she continues mixing. Luz exclaims, “Eda! Amity was captured the coven. There were even other humans that got captured too! I don’t even know why they wanted her, she’s done nothing wrong!” Eda stops cooking and asks, “Whoa, whoa, other humans besides you? What did they look like?” Luz describes them, “Well their clothes were like really awesome, like something out of a JRPG game. And they wielded these crazy swords or more like giant keys?” Eda’s eyes widen as she exclaims, “Did you just say giant keys?” Luz answers, “Um yeah” Eda throws the bowl away and looks in her closet. Luz curiously asks, “Um Eda, what are you looking for?” Eda gets out a giant old dusty mirror as she tries to wipe it clean and explains a little. “If what you're saying is true, I think I know a guy who knows them. Calling Big Wiz Yen-Sid” The mirror dials but starts making sounds like a 90s internet modem as it takes time to connect. Eda bangs on it as she complains, “Come on you stupid you piece of Mewni junk! I really shouldn’t have bought this at Quest Buy. So glad it’s out of business.” Back to the present, Eda finishes the rest of the story. “After a long boring few minutes to connect, I finally made contact with Yen-Sid and told him his troubled teens got captured.” Luz asks, “I couldn’t see what he looked like in the mirror since I fell asleep with all the waiting. Hey so is Yen-Sid like an all powerful wizard with a big cone hat with stars and a pointy beard?” Sora answers, “Yeah pretty much.” Luz gleefully says, “Squeal! Oh the genuine article! pffft unlike that fake wizard who tricked me.” Donald asks, “So how exactly do you know Master Yen-Sid?” Eda answers as she smiles, “Would you believe we use to date?” Everyone was shocked with their mouths open then Eda laughs, “Ha, just kidding, but the looks on your faces! I did my travels to other worlds when I met him.” Sora curiously asks, “Wait so you’ve been to other worlds too? How do you do it?” Eda explains, “Oh easy, magic door. Yeah I’ve stole- I mean “borrowed” what ever junk I can sell through out the different worlds. From the Bizarre Bazaar to the Crawlspace, which I’m pretty famous over there next to a wanted poster of… Larry the king?” King corrects her, “I’m not Larry.” Eda tries to make him understand, “No I mean…sigh never mind. Anyway I’m pretty much banned from those worldly world markets after they accused me of stealing, can you believe that?“ King answers her rhetorical question. “I can” As Luz did too stating, “Ditto” Eda swats the air at them and grabs something, “Ah what do you know, I almost lost my staff back there thanks to some no good green troll, right Owlbert?” A small owl flies to Eda from upstairs and perches on the staff. She turns him as his claws latch on to the top instantly turning into an ornament. Sora eyes widen as he asks, “Whoa! Your magic staff is alive?” Eda explains as she puts the staff to the side, “Yep, that’s a palisman for ya. We’ve been through thick and thin.” Goofy still wondered as he asks, “So how did you meet Master Yen-Sid?” Eda tells him, “Well I heard about a tower of mystery unlike anyone has ever seen before and I found the secret to getting in. That was easy but getting to his secret stash was the hard part. I couldn’t tell up from down and thought I end up lost forever, never finding what I was looking for.” Donald narrows his eyes and asks, “And what exactly did you try to find?” Eda playfully explains, “Oh I believe what I was looking for was called, ‘none of your bee stings’ Luz corrects, “Don’t you mean bees wax?” Eda, “I know what I said and if it makes you feel any better quakers, I was caught by him. Luckily he left me off the hook for being a troubled teen and thought if I ever needed guidance, I could contact him. Just never enter his tower again. As if I ever want to, that place is like space and time melded.” Learning something new, about her, Luz says, “I didn’t know you can travel through space just to steal stuff too! Oh you're like a space pirate!” Eda smiles as she says, “Ha if I was, I’d steal myself a handsome stud.” Then the room goes silent from her joke as Eda says, “Eh what ever, I maybe the host, but that doesn't mean I have to be your clown.” She says as she fixes the bracelet. Sora ignores that last comment and asks Luz, “OK that explains someone like you being here, you're a human from earth right?” Impressed, Luz answers, “Dang, you’re good. Yep, just training to be a witch for the summer! Course looks like that’s probably like forever” Goofy asks, “Wait, forever? How come?” Donald asks too, “Are you stuck here?” Luz explains, “I guess so, I mean I had the door way back to go back home but I ended up destroying it.” Donald asks, “Why you’d that?” Eda explains “Cause the emperor wanted it. The door was originally mine. Which is why the emperor wanted me all along and even Luz too for human. It was between me getting petrified or let the emperor have what he wanted. Luckily she saved me in the nick of time and made sure to keep her world safe by destroying what he wanted…in her shoes I would have done the same.” Eda pats Luz’s shoulder as Luz says, “Thanks Eda, but I just wish I did it sooner, now your magic is messed up because of me.” Eda shrugs and says, “Hey better than being petrified, least Lilith finally helped out.” Sora asks, “Who’s Lilith?” And right on time, another witch came through the door. She looked about the same age as Eda, even different eye colors too, one grey on the right and the other green. Her was mostly black but with a bit of grey on her right side. She wore a cloak and carried some logs in. Eda exclaims, “Ah speak of the she-devil, hey Lilith.” As she puts the logs down, Lilith turns while taking the hood off and says “Did you just call me a she-devil? Ug, I was patrolling with what’s going on outside and here you are…entertaining guests?” Sora and his friends wave while Lilith ignores them as Eda jokingly says,” Well I was always the partying type.” Luz introduces them to Lilith, “This is Sora, Donald and Goofy, they’re here to free their friends and Amity too.” Lilith says, “Um yes hello, never thought I see another human and…what ever those two are. How can they even help? Even those new enemies, the Inchies are running amok and the soldiers are hardly doing anything to get rid of them.” Eda tells her, “You heard about the rumors of the Razor Lockers?” Lilith replies, “Yes, they say they’re the reason the Inchies are invading and that they brought them here?” Sora corrects her, “That’s a lie, I’m a Keyblade wielder just like my friends. Those Inchies are called Heartless and we're here to stop them.” Lilith pounders, “Should have figured they were lies of the emperor. I went to ask one of the soldiers on the whereabouts on Amity, some say they don’t have her, others say she aided the outsiders.” In a smug way, Eda says, “Well just be glad she’s not forced to work with the emperor, unlike someone who willingly did it for a long time.” Lilith feeling guilty goes, “Sigh, please let that go sister” Sora figured, “Your sisters? Oh that explains the grey eye colors.” Lilith and Eda looked at each other hoping Eda doesn’t explain the real reason but changes the subject, “That’s…something else entirely. Right now these “Heartless” or whatever they are started invading the Boiling Isles and soon rumors started to spread about these creatures being old parasites and your friends are to blame for that.” Sora tires to make sense of this, ” But they came to this world to stop the Heartless, why would this emperor make up lies for that?" Lilith answers, “Because like Luz, you and your friends came from another world, which means the emperor probably wants information from them on how to enter another world” Eda also adds, “And this whole thing was a trap, he already knew someone was coming to wipe out the Heartless, probably either you or your friends.” Donald asks, “How do you think the emperor knew all about this?” Luz thinks aloud, “Maybe the titan told him?” Sora asks, “Titan?” Luz explains, “Oh right, the Boiling Isles used to be a giant right? Turns out it’s still alive and he speaks through the Emperor or at least that’s what he claims?” Eda grabs her staff, “Whatever the case, I think we know what to do and I already know where your friends are, the Conformatoriam. Time to free them” Luz exclaims, “Eda wait, your magic is still, well out of wack remember?” Eda grabs the broken bracelet, which is fixed now and shows it to them as she says, “Don’t worry kid, I think I have something that can temporarily help with that.” As Eda and Sora get ready to rescue them, the Conformatoreim has new prisoners, sharing a special cell together. Amity and Aqua sit together while Terra observes the bars for any weaknesses and Ven attempts to summon his Keyblade but no matter how hard he tries, it still wouldn’t appear.” Ven complains, “It’s no use, I can’t get it to work and can’t even get this stupid band off.” Amity says,” I wish I can get my abomination to get us out of here but this cell is cutting off my magic. Ug, I can’t believe this is happening to me! I’m in jail and my parents are going to kill me or at least disown me! Which might not be so bad…kind of hate them for a number of reasons.” Aqua tries to be positive saying, “Well being trapped here can’t be as bad as what we went through. “ Amity asks, “Really? Like what?” Ven tells her, “Went into an eternal sleep in a castle.”Aqua says her part, “Trapped in a world of darkness.” And finally Terra says, “Possessed by a manipulative schemer.” Ven says, “And that was like 10 years.” Surprised, Amity asks, “Whoa, you guys really went through a lot! So how did all of you get free?” Aqua answers, “With some big help from our friends like Sora, which means he might come here to rescue us again.” Amity wonders, “All right, so can he use that uh Keyblade to free us?” Terra truthfully tells her, “Hopefully yes. But what ever these cuffs are, there preventing us from using our own.” Ven ponders, “How the heck did they even get something like these?” Aqua tries to answer “Will figure it out once we escape.” Soon thumping noises echo through out the prison as the main door opens up and a large creature comes close to their cell. It was a big hulking being with a hood and wearing a large beaked face, the Warden of the Conformatoriam, Wrath! He speaks to them in a threatening tone, “No ones leaving unless I say you leave…And I say no, so you're not going to leave…like ever…period.” Amity stands up and yells, “Yeah except Luz escaped your prison before and you got beaten by her, twice! She told me the stories about you. You’re nothing more than a bully and I should know how bullies act! I was…pretty much one my self.” Warden bangs on the bars with his tentacle like arms as magic bounces off some sparks. Amity nearly falls back and Aqua catches her saying, “Hey! Leave her alone!” But the Warden talks back “Silence! I was talking to her not you, your nothing more than bait! Like three worms on a single fishing hook. Which would be kind of hard to do with all the squirming and - ug it’s so creepy just making me think about that! Anyway I’ve also heard about you Amity Blight and the Blight family, thanks to the emperor. Anyone who’s a friend of that human would make her want to rescue you too. If you were to call her here, maybe I’ll set you free.” Amity stands her ground as she says, “As if I do that!” But Warden Wrath keeps threatening her, “Oh, would you rather I tell them you're being friends with a human?” Terra defends her, “And what’s wrong with that?” The Warden explains, “It’s frowned upon in our society, that’s why most of them don’t act right and end up in here. In fact, I’d say you like that human girl as more than just a friend.” Amity panics but tries to deny it “I - I don’t know what you're talking about.” With the upper hand, Wrath continues, “Oh I do know because I too know what it’s like to fall in love. Eda the Owl Lady and sadly she refuses my love. But when I get her, the Emperor will finish her off so maybe the pain will go away. Until then, if you don’t comply with me, I’ll just tell your parents that you're in love with a human girl. Maybe even…your entire school.” Amity screams as she got close to the bars, “You can’t do that!” The Warden turns and heads back to the door as he says his last words to her, “Oh I can if you don’t do as I say, tick tock.”As the door shuts, Amity sat on the bench and slumped down while Aqua sat next to her and tries to comfort her saying, “Hey you OK?” Amity holding her self together says, “No, I - I don’t know what to do.” Ven and Terra sat down to from across the room as they both wondered how to help. Ven tries asking, “Well you can’t give him what he wants, you love this girl right?” Amity panics as she keeps denying again, “I don’t know what you're talking about? She’s just a friend." Terra questions her, “Listen, the truth is, like your friend, we’re from another world. And once we leave, we won’t be telling anyone about this. So there’s really no shame about it, even if you're both girls, it’s OK if you like each other. Is that really not allowed here?” Amity decides to trust them and explains, “No, it is allowed, I mean even Willow’s parents are both men…but maybe that’s another reason why my parents didn’t want me to be friends with her?” Aqua asks, “Wait, who’s Willow?” Amity tries to make sense, “She’s an old best friend of mine. Her skills were different from mine and my parents didn’t want me to be friends with her. If I didn’t do as they said, they would make sure she would never go to the same school I'd go to.” Terra thinks aloud, “So if your parents find out your friends with a human, they could do something to her too?” Amity looking down goes, “Yeah” But Aqua asks, “ Well is Luz really as weak as you think?” Amity exclaims, “What? No of course not! She’s…she’s really brave and a good listener. When I first met her, I didn’t know what she wanted other than learning magic and I didn’t want anything to do with her because I only cared about being the best. I thought she was my rival but what she really wanted was to be my friend. And pretty soon I wanted something more than that. Funny part is I’m not sure if she feels the same way I do?” Ven says aloud, “Wait so she doesn’t know how you feel? Amity yells too, “No way! Worst part is she might end up going home on earth and I may never see her again or even know how she feels about me.” Terra says, “Well maybe you should take the chance when the time is right.” Amity wonders, “When will that happen?” Aqua points to her heart and tells her, "When you find the moment here, then you can let it out.” Amity smiles as she says, “Thanks, you guys are pretty good listeners too. I really hope we can find a way to get out of here.”Amity tries to hug Aqua, but her head accidentally hits Aqua’s right shoulder pad. Aqua apologizes, “Sorry about that” Amity rubs her head, “Ow! It’s fine but jeez, seriously why do all of you have those weird pads, it’s an odd fashion design” Terra’s eyes widen as he looks at Aqua’s pad, Ven’s and his as he came up with a solution, “I think I just found the way to summon our Keyblades!”

Kingdom Hearts AfterMath: One Hop to Amphibia Ch.3
As Ann said to Sora earlier, she tells her friend’s story, “Well, OK I’ll tell you, Marcy is-“ But then the ground quakes! The Heartless that was in a trance shakes it off and calls out more of it’s mass. Soon an army of Heartless come to the center, just as the Shellbreaker makes it’s return, flying down and roaring. Everyone gets into battle positions again and Sora says, “Talk about a rude interruption, all right let’s finish this thing!” Ann adds, “Yeah, we’re ready this time!” But a girl’s voice calls to Ann, “Oh are you now?” They all notice the voice came from the top of the Shellbreaker and it was a cloaked figure. She jumps off and lands, takes out her sword, which had a flamingo like design and reveals her hood! Ann exclaims, “Sasha!” Sora reacts “That’s Sasha? How did she control the Heartless?” Sasha “It was pretty easy when I used that weird fungus to let someone else control them and once you got rid of those mind controlling spores, I saved the giant Heartless from being defeated and now it works for me as well as the rest of these Heartless. Sprig wondered out loud, “Wait, if she’s here, where’s Captain Grime and the Toad army?” Sasha explains, “Oh I ditched those losers and realized the reason they lost to your kind was because they’re weak. Luckily I found a way better army! The Heartless, that and these white things?” The white things she mentions comes to the fight too as Donald called them, “Nobodies!” Sasha continues to rant, “Yep those things, so nobody better not mess with my Nobodies!” Ann didn’t know how to feel and asks, “Sasha! I don’t how you escaped from Grime but please I’m your friend, I don’t wanna fight you again! Let’s just try to find a way to go home together.” Sasha, still showing that same smug look like before answers, “Ann, Ann, Ann, why would I want to leave when I can take over this world with the Heartless and Nobodies and make all these gross reptiles bow before me, starting with your friends!” Soon the Heartless and Shellbreaker attacks Sora and the others while Sasha ends up crossing swords with Ann again as she says, “Besides, even if we did go back. Do you really wanna be friends again after all of this?” Ann didn’t how to answer that and continues to defend herself. *2nd boss fight starts* with a time limit on how long Ann can fight Sasha as she says, “Guys, take care of that thing, quickly, I don’t know how long I can last against Sasha, I don’t wanna hurt her, but she might end up destroying me!” Sasha adds, “Dang right I am girl!” Sora says, “Don’t worry, will tire out the Shellbreaker first and help you!” As he said, he continues to fight against the Shellbreaker lowering it’s health as the giant Heartless flies around shooting out fire and lightning from the tip of it’s head like stinger. Soon the Shellbreaker gets knocked over upside down and they all attack the stomach making way more damage. The Shellbreaker shakes it off and repeats it’s attacks and Sora does the same as well. Finally it’s health was low as it lays on it’s back again and Sora knocks the Shellbreaker off like a hockey puck as it slides to Sasha and Ann. Sora screams, “Ann, Sasha get out of the way!” They stop dueling and they both roll out. Sora comes to Ann’s aid as both of them put their weapons up. Ann pleads, “Sash, stop this OK, no one needs to get hurt!” Sasha gets back up just as well as the Shellbreaker. Frustrated, Sasha says, “Your telling me what to do? If I remember right, it was the other way around, so how about you give up!” She gets on top of the Shellbreaker and commands it to fly higher this time while the other Heartless and Nobodies attack from the ground. Sasha yells, “Shoot them down from above, I don’t care what happens to the others!” Sora says, “Man, it really does feel like I’m fighting Riku all over again and just like Riku, I’ll save her too Ann, you can count on me.” Ann says, “Thanks Sora, but how do we take that thing down now? It’s so high up” Sprig and Polly, with blue shrooms in their hands say together, “We have an idea!” Goofy asks, “What are those?” Sprig answers, “Boom shrooms” Ann exclaims, “Wait, you mean like the ones that blew up the tower, how’d you get those?” Polly explains, “Courtesy of One-eyed Wally” Sora asks, “They’re like bombs? How come you guys didn’t use them earlier” Sprig answers, “These weren’t exactly cheap.” Ann “OK but I don’t think your slingshot can reach that thing.” Polly adds, “No, but how about using them like explosive jump pads” Ann, “That’s insane, will blow up!” Sora has an idea, “No not unless we have magic shields on our bodies, Donald!” Donald uses reflect magic and covers them in a bubble. Acting quickly before their enemies get any closer, Goofy, Donald, Polly and Sprig each took a boom shroom and ran up staircases to the tallest castle walls they could find. Ann and Sora, covered in magic shielding ran towards their friends as they each threw a shroom. Each throw exploded them higher and higher like a lift and landed on the Shellbreaker while the reflect magic disappears. Ann, a little dizzy goes, “Oof, feels like I put my headphones on max, right OK, Sasha you better surrender!” Sasha exclaims, “Bring it!” Sora and Ann dueled against Sasha while holding on to their life on the Shellbreaker as it tries to fly around and throw them off. It even tries to fly upside down as Sora held on and Ann almost falls but Sora holds on to her hand. Sasha held on too thanks to the metal glove grip and tries to slash Sora. Sora’s hands were tied but instead of using his Keyblade, he swings Ann around since she had her sword. Ann screams, “Wah! Sora seriously I’m not a Keysword! “Sora corrects her, “Keyblade” Ann screams again, “What ever!” Luckily the Shellbreaker flies right side up and they continue to fight again. Despite little health left, Sasha didn’t give up, “You think you two can beat me like this?” Ann adds, “No but I know Polly can beat the Shellbreaker” Confused, Sasha asks, “What are you-?” She turns around and sees Polly at the end of the Shellbreaker, with a boom shroom in her hand as she says, “Saved the best for last!” She places the shroom on the tail and it starts to detonate. Polly hops on Sasha’s head as she says “Slapped the mean out of ya!” and lands in Sora’s arms. Sasha panicky asks, “How?” Polly answers, “When you guys flew low, I asked Goofy to throw me up” On the ground, Goofy proudly says, “I should be in the major leagues!” Sprig asks, “What’s the major leagues?” Back up on top, they all jump off the ShellBreaker as it’s tail and wings explode and it falls to the ground, destroying the rest of the Heartless and Nobodies. Sasha ends up falling but gets caught in Ann’s arms. Sasha who’s surprised asks, “What are you-“ But Ann cuts her off with tears, “I was never better off without you, your my friend! I won’t let you go again.” Without thinking, Sasha holds her tight and they both keep falling. Sora quickly lands right away thanks to his skills and lets go of Polly. Sprig and Polly scream, “Ann!” and Sora and Donald quickly use Aeroga, power of wind magic to make sure they float down safely. As they lay on the ground, Ann lets go of Sasha and gets up. Confused, Sasha didn’t know what to say but Ann says her piece with an extended hand, “I don’t know why you're acting like this but we’ve been friends for a long time. But if you don’t want to be friends anymore, fine. But please come home with me, everyone we care about miss us. We can even find Marcy together.” Sasha holds her hand and gets up too but gives an unsure look as she says, “This wasn’t supposed to happen, why do I feel guilty. Did she act like this before?” Sora asks, “Wait, what did you say?” Sasha was about to answer but soon the Shellbreaker rampages with it’s working legs. They were all about to be pummeled until Sora uses that summoning spell he found earlier. The spell unleashes the singing alligator named Louis while playing the trumpet and musical notes follow around him as he sings “When we’re human”. Sora dances along as he uses the musical notes to slash against the Shellbreaker as it surrounds the giant Heartless like a cage since it acts like sheet music. Louis continues playing as he jumps on top of the Shellbreaker and stomps it to the ground finally finishing it off! Ann with her jaw dropped goes, “Did that Alligator just destroy that Heartless by singing?” Sprig adds, “Huh, never seen him in these part of the swamps before.”The fight was finally done and they all thought they could relax but something was still wrong. They all notice Sasha was sick as she lay on a withered tree for support. Ann came to her aid and asked, “Sash! What’s wrong? Are you OK?” Sasha with a bit of tears in her eyes says, “I’m not her! I was never her.” Ann confused asks, “I don’t understand, Sasha what are you talking about?” Sora figures it out, “I think I get it, Ann I’m sorry but I think that’s not the real Sasha” Ann exclaims, “What? How is that possible?” Sasha tries to prove it while sitting and leaning on the tree as she says, “He’s right, when you fought the real Sasha the first time, you gave her a scar on her right cheek, look at my face!” Ann noticed her little mole on her left cheek but saw no scar on her right. Ann admits, “So it’s true, but what’s happening to you?” Sasha, whose body starts to brighten up answers, “I’m expiring because I failed - I - I’m sorry. Please sa - save the real Sasha, find your friends…goodbye.” The light shines brightly to a point where everyone almost goes blind, but they finally see what was left of the Sasha copy. Her clothes and armor stayed the same, but the body was completely changed into a faceless manikin, almost like a puppet. Everyone was speechless, Ann with her knees on the ground felt like she went through the same tragedy as before but worse. Sprig asks, “Wha-what the heck was that, what was she?” Sora seeing something like this before explains, “I think this was a Replica.” Polly asks, “Replica, you mean like a clone?” Sora, “Yeah, my friend Riku went through something like this, I never thought I would have to deal with another one again. These bad guys I fought once we're an Organization that copy people’s memories but not the heart. Though it felt like she had a heart in the end.” Ann still looking at the Replica husk wipes her tears and gets up as Sprig asks, “So if this was a copy, where’s the real Sasha?” Ann answers, “She must be with Grimes and the Toads, which means she’s still alive.” Sora tries to comfort her, “Oh Ann, I’m sorry you had to go through something like this again.” Ann smiles and says, “It’s OK Sora, despite this repeat being traumatizing - I think my heart feels stronger now. Thanks to you.” Sora asks, “Me? What I do?” Ann simply answers, “You gave me hope and not to give up on my friends, even if they don’t want my help, I’ll still keep going”. Soon this world’s keyhole opens up on a tree where the Replica lays. Polly asks, “What the heck is that?” Goofy answers, “This is how the Heartless came to invade your world.” Donald gives the order, “Sora, seal it!” Sora obeys with his Keyblade. “On it!” A beam of light shoots from the tip and seals the keyhole, making sure no Heartless or Nobodies will ever enter. With the light show over, Ann asks plainly, “Well that was neat so…where are you guys really from?” Sora panics as he goes, “What? Well like I said, from around here.” Sprig asks, “Didn’t you just say you use to live on an island? Amphibia is practically an island it self, hardly any others.” Polly also adds, “Yeah and what kind of frog are you to not eat bugs for the first time! That and the magic box you carry, just like Ann!” Sora, Donald and Goofy panic a little as Goofy tries to make excuses, “No we um from another island full of talking frogs!” Sprig adds with cross arms, “And lizards like you?” Goofy finishes his sentence, “Yeah! And lizards like me too A-huck!” They still didn’t believe them as Ann says, “Guys! It’s OK I mean I’m an outsider like you, and if I ever go home, who would believe me about going to a world filled with talking frogs and a bunch of monsters?” Sora gave it a thought and says, “Huh good point, well I guess we don’t have to hide anything, especially with these disguises.” Donald puts his hand on his head, “Oh phooey! You just gave up too easily!” Ann asks, “So those are disguises, wow, that’s some good magic, what are you guys really?” Sora says, “Well since it’s obvious, I’m human like you. and the others-“ Ann cuts him off and ask, “Really? Can I see what you guys look like?” Sora answers, “I’m not sure, when we came to this world, we automatically ended up looking like this.” Donald theorizes, “Actually I think I can temporarily turn them off. Let me try”. He uses his magic and they all turn back to normal, even their right height size. Polly screams, “Wah, they’re huge! And Goofy and Donald look way more hideous than Ann!” Donald exclaims, “Hey!” Ann, with wide eyes actually looks up at the human Sora, who was taller than her this time. “Wow, you are hot!” She says out loud without thinking. Everyone doesn’t say anything for 10 seconds with only Sora rubbing his head, Ann blushing, Sprig coughing and Goofy twiddling his thumbs. Donald and Polly try not to giggle. After that awkward moment was over, Ann tries to retract her comment, “I mean, you look different from your frog disguise, not that you were ugly! He he, um sorry I’ve been here for almost more than three months and I never thought I see a human boy again except the ones in my phone.” Sora comments, “No it’s fine, ha, believe me you’re not the first girl to look at me like that” He says as he thinks about Mabel Pines that time. Polly adds, “Forget love triangle, now we got a love square’” Sprig laughs, “Ha, that sounds entertaining, like that movie “Love Choice”. Ann exclaims, “It is so not a love square, OK!” Goofy jokes, “Careful Sora, Kairi might get mad if she heard about this.” Donald laughs, “Mad? More like explode! Wa ha ha ha!” Sora, “Seriously guys?” Everyone laughs except Sora and Ann and things calm down. Sora says, “Ha ha real funny, anyway. Ann listen, since you guys know who we are, I’m guessing you know the Heartless travel to other worlds like this and we go to them with our flying ship” Ann asks, “Wow first magic phones and weapons and now a flying ship, who's your manager?” Sora, “A wizard I guess? Anyway since you wanna go home, maybe you can come with us and we can find your home together.” BG: For once in my life. Ann was happy at first but then she turns to see her friends Sprig and Polly as they smile. Ann unsurely asks, “Guys…?” Sprig answers, “This might be your only chance Ann, you can finally go home!” Polly also has her say, “Yeah! You don’t have to deal with the monsters and running for our lives from danger…which was actually pretty fun.” Ann smiles and says, “Thanks guys, and Sora..” She turns to face him and answers, “…I’m gonna have to say no.” Sprig and Polly were both surprised as Sprig says, “But Ann!” Ann calms him down, “It’s OK Sprig, I still need to stay and find Sasha and Marcy too.” Sora who hardly reacted to her answer says, “I figured you say that.” Ann turns to her frog friends and says, “Besides, with you two and Hop Pop, I know I’ll find a way to go home, but for now I rather keep the party going.” All three hugged each other as Sora smiles and says, “Gotta say though, this place kind of reminds me of Gravity Falls.” Ann lets go and says, “Gravity Falls? As in Gravity Falls, Oregon?” Surprised, Sora answers, “Y-yeah you’ve been to that place?” Ann explains, “Nah but my friends have during summer vacations. They rich it up with some big shot family called the Northwests but other than that, they say it’s like the most borings place on earth, well my earth at least.” Sora laughs and shakes his head, “Yeah I wouldn’t say boring.” Ann gets her phone out and says, “Hey how about a group selfie before you guys go,” Sora gets out his Gummiphone and says, “Sure!” Everyone crowds together as Sora and Ann get both their phones in front of them and they both take the picture, but the moment they click, the magic that made them normal changes them back into reptile creatures again as the pictures took that scene instead. Ann shouts, “Dang! Guess that was temporally after all. Oh well either way, you’re still you. Your hair certainly speaks for yourself, and I thought mine was big.” Sora laughs from that thought he had earlier about her too. Polly asks while poking the Replica with a stick, “So what should we do with this? I know she was a clone of your friend and all but no way are we taking this home. It might attack us in our sleep!” Goofy explains as he picks up the husk. “Don’t worry, will take it.” Donald also explains, “Yeah, will need to figure out who made this Replica.” Both parties get out of the abandoned Toad Tower as they parted their ways. Ann and the others wave as she says, “Goodbye Sora, hope you guys get rid of these Heartless from hurting anyone.” Sora and the others wave too as he says, “Thanks Ann, I hope you find your friends and go home.” As Sora, Donald and Goofy saw them off, a thought occurred to Sora as he says out loud, “Dang! I was hoping to find out what Marcy was like?” Donald adds, “Really cause I’m more worried that she now has proof of us thanks to that phone of hers.” Sora exclaims, “What? Why didn’t you say anything earlier?” Donald shouts, “I was having way too much fun OK!” Goofy panics, “After them!” But it was too late, they were gone. Sora tries to not worry and goes, “Oh well, I’m sure it’s not a big deal, we should go anyway. Still wished I knew who Marcy was.” Donald shakes his head and they get back to their ship. Meanwhile Ann, with Polly in her arms and Sprig walking beside her headed back home. Sprig says, “They sure were fun weren’t they?” Ann answers, “Yeah, they were” Polly adds, “The feathered duck one was loud and obnoxious, I like him, he reminds me of me!” They laugh and soon see Hopadile Plantar on his snail, Bessie as she slides to them. Hop Pop calls, “Kids, I came as soon as I could, how'd it go?” Sprig says, “We almost died but we still have our limbs, same ol same ol.” Polly plainly says, “Limbs? I still don’t have legs yet!” Hop Pop gets off his snail and says, “So everything is OK, Ann how about-“ But gets cut off as Ann hugs him with her eyes closed. Concerned, Hop Pop asks, “Um did I miss something?” Ann smiles and says, “I’ll explain later, I’m not hugging you too tight am I?” Hop Pop didn’t understand but pats her on the back anyway, “No Ann not at all, anyway kids while you were lollygagging, I bought some great eats at the Grub & Go though no discounts, cheap advertising. Anyway, dinner will go faster if everyone helps. Sprig and Polly complain as Polly says, “Aw man, after going through that ordeal, more work.” Ann on the other hand says, “I’m OK with helping” As the others hopped on the snail, Hop Pop reaction goes, "Really? You sure you're not tired?” Ann answers, “Nah, I should be ready for anything right?” Sprig adds, “Just remember you don’t have to do it alone.” Ann smiles knowing she’s become stronger now thanks to her friends and Sora’s advice as she says, “Right’ Hop Pop confusingly goes, “Kids it’s just dinner, not a life or death situation here but whatever, where did Sora and his friends go? Especially Goofy! I can never forget that lizard! Even if he is taller than me, that voice really hits me!” Everyone rolls their eyes as Polly says, “They had to get out of here on a flying ship.” Hop Pop shouts, “Flying ship? What hogwash did they make up? I thought they were an odd bunch, especially from another world like you Ann. You all knew they were outsiders right?” Everyone nods, and Hop Pop says, “Good, good I’m glad I’m not the only one.” Sprig adds, “Nice disguises though,” Hop Pop screams, “Son of a Slug! Those were disguises?” Meanwhile back at the quiet Plantar home at night since no one’s there yet, two cloaked figures in animal masks approach an old tree with red mushrooms growing on the side and a large mound on the ground. The one wearing a bear mask says, “This must be the place Gula, come on.” Gula, the one wearing the leopard mask goes, “OK Aced but was it really necessary to do all that? Creating the Replica just to distract everyone?” Aced replies, “Luxu sent us here to collect this Calamity Box just in case it’s useful to us, or possibly related to the Black Box. And thanks to his connections from the former Organization, his data was pretty useful.” Gula replies “I thought Luxu’s new name was Xibar?” Gula complains, “I don’t really care! That guy has way too many names as it is. Now help me dig!” Aced gets his Keyblade out and starts digging. Gula exclaims, “Whoa, you can’t just use your Keyblade like a shovel! It’ll get all dirty, what would the Masters of Masters think?” Aced, “He’d probably laugh about it instead of punishing us..like my bear mask…besides he’s gone now and no one knows where he is. So you can use your hands to dig if you want!” Gula looks at the muddy ground then his hands and sighs as he gets his Keyblade out too and goes, “If anyone asks, we fought dirt covered Heartless.” Aced replies, “Deal!”. They both keep digging and get the box out that Hopidile Plantar buried last time due to finding out how dangerous it is thanks to his books. Aced looks at the box, shakes it, opens it and Gula panics as he shouts and whispers at the same time, “Careful! I heard that might destroy the world right?” Aced says, “Relax, I don’t think this thing can do anything other than teleportation and looks like there’s a keyhole.” Aced was tempted to use his Keyblade but Gula interjects, “Hey it’s still might be dangerous, let’s not risk it! Especially if we take it from this world, who knows what could happen.” Aced agrees and keeps looking at the box as he says, “You might be right, strange jewels. Anyway let’s put it back.” As they buried it back, Gula asks, “By the way, how did you get the old frog to get out of the house?” Aced explains, “Well-“ During a flashback at the day time, Aced puts a sign on the door and knocks on it. As he runs away, Hop Pop opens it to see who it was and checks on his front door. He takes the paper, reads it and exclaims, “Well I’ll be slimier than a snail! Half price on turnips and scream beans at the Grub & Go! I better skedaddle before I pick up the kids!” He runs off as Aced looks from the side of the house to check. Back at the present, Aced and Gula walk away from the Plantar house as Gula goes, “Wow, what a cheapskate” Aced explains, “Well from what I’ve observed, he pretty much has no job or I guess no life. Though he did seem smart enough to bury that thing. We better head back and tell Luxu we found nothing useful” Gula says, “Good, let’s get out of here as soon as possible. I mean the Heartless and Nobodies maybe gone-” Aced finishes his sentence, “-yes but this world’s already doomed anyway once that box is activated. And here I thought we were doing them a favor by taking it. Oh well, let’s move on.” Both of the cloaked figures faded out like ghost, disappearing from Amphibia. Back at the Gummi ship, Sora, Donald and Goofy pondered about what transpired in Amphibia. Sora wondered, “Still wish I knew who Marcy is.” Donald lectures, “Will you let that go already! Right now I’m more worried about who made that Replica.” Goofy agreed, “Me too, I mean I understand how she controlled the Heartless but how did she control the Nobodies? You don’t think its Organization XIII again do you?” Sora speaks, “But that’s impossible, we defeated them, even Xehanort is gone for good.” Donald adds, “Yeah but it wasn’t the first time we defeated them and some of them ended up coming back again. Doh, just when you think we can relax, this happens again.” Sora says, “Eh I’m fine with that, I know I should be tired but I rather keep going, I know Ann would.” Goofy happily says, “Glad you’re thinking positive Sora, we can talk to Master Yen-Sid about this” Donald adds, “And head to Radiant Garden, maybe Ansem the Wise and the others might know who made the Replica.” Sora agreed, “Right then we can get rid of the other Heartless in the other worlds and-“ Soon he gets interrupted by the ship’s mechanics, Chip and Dale via screen. Chip screams, “Sora! We got an emergency!” Donald exclaims, “Quack! Again?” Dale says, “Ya’ll need to see Master Yen Sid at the tower! Pronto!” Goofy asks, “Funny we were about to head there, wait, is the Wasteland in danger again?” Chip explains, “Oh no, Oswald and everyone else is fine. It’s Terra, Aqua and Ven, they’re the ones in danger!” Sora shouts, "Again! What happened to them?” Dale explains, “They wanted to get rid of the Heartless in another world like you fellas but we haven’t heard from them since from some place called the Boiling Isles.” Sora, who’s frustrated, asks, “Why would they do something like that?” Chip answers him, “They thought it would be easier for you. Master Yen Sid was against it but they insisted as Ven would put it “Be like old times” Everyone calms down a bit and Sora says, “OK we’re coming to the Mysterious Tower first but we have some information we gotta tell him.” He starts the Gummi-ship’s engines and was about blast off when he says with a smile, “Welp, here we go again”. End of level: *Unlocked new Keyblade* Calamity Cane - Enemies get caught at the clamp tip, causing more damage as you hit other enemies.

Kingdom Hearts AfterMath: One Hop to Amphibia Ch.2
As they came out of the restaurant, they saw all the towns people running for their lives from the Heartless attacks. In some worlds, the Heartless take a form fitting for the environment. For example, These were a fusion of a frog/plant like Heartless called Croakers and other types had a two headed crocodile Heartless moving side to side called Clampers. Sora, Donald and Goofy got out their weapons to attack which surprised Sprig as he said, “Whoa, you guys have weapons?” and Ann says, “And you can actually use magic?” Sora warns them, “Yeah listen hide, will take care of this!” They did what they said but Ann had other ideas. While the heroes fought, they noticed something odd about the Heartless as Goofy points out, “Sora, look! They have those strange spores on their heads, just like those hedgehogs.” He was right, they even had a purple glow in their eyes instead of the usual yellow. As they fought, they found it tougher to deal with then the hedgehogs and getting rid of most of the shrooms on their heads was taking too long. Soon a new enemy came and it was a giant turtle like Heartless, called a Shellbreaker and much like the other Heartless, it also had a glowing spore except this was much larger and growing on it’s shell. Sora says, “Looks like that’s the leader” and Donald says, “And those spores are giving those Heartless some boost power thanks to their leader.” Soon some of the Plantar family came by as they joined their party! Ann, with a sword and tennis racket in both hands asks Sora, “Need some help?” Sprig, with a sling shot also says, “Don’t worry guys, we got your back!” Polly with a mace swings and screams into action “Let me at them!” Ann asks Polly, “Where’d you get the mace?” Polly replies, “Duh, the underground caverns at our house” Ann says, “Oh Yeah” They were about to get ready for a boss battle but then heard laughing from the Shellbreaker. To the Plantars and Ann, it was actually familiar. Inside the spore shell emerged another talking frog, wearing a bathrobe and had a little beard as he screamed, “I have returned! I’ve been hoping to find more of these black creatures and you people captured one!”. Ann recognized him and exclaimed his name, “ApathoGary!” Sprig points out, “I thought his name was Apothecary Gary?” But Polly tries to correct the name, “No it’s Lloyd right?” But ApathoGary mellowly states that, “Ah wrongo, this body I inhabit is named Lloyd, this whole spore is all me, the Gary, anyway commence the attack, whahahaha!” As he laughs, he merges back into the mushroom spore and the Heartless Shellbreaker let’s out a roar as the first boss battle starts.*First boss fight* Ann explains, “Sora listen, that thing once took over our minds and the entire town, kind of Hop Pop’s fault since we were rough housing. Anyway, attack the main spore and the rest will fall!” Sora nodded, “Got it!” All six heroes surrounded the Heartless Shellbreaker and attacked it’s six legs while the other Heartless try to attack them. The giant uses it’s horn like turtle head to swing around. Soon once all six feet were stunned, Gary temporally comes out of the spore shell, exposed as the weakness. Sora and others focused all of their attack at Gary and with half of his health finished, he retreats into the spore and fights back. They repeated the same process with the Shellbreaker’s six feat and attacked Gary again when exposed. To make sure Gary didn’t retreat, Sora switches his Keyblade into ‘Buds4Life’. Much like Mystery Mark, the Buds4Life Keyblade transforms into a useful tool as a giant vacuum like cannon. He sucks in all the other Heartless, including Gary, who still has some spores on his head for control and aims straight at the spore shell. Inside the cannon, ApathaGary says, “Oh this is just rude! Let me out! It smells and these Heartless are biters!” Sora smiles and says, “As Genie would say, your wish my command!” Blam! The cannon shoots out and explodes the spore shell to smithereens. Hop Pop comes in late with his giant snail, Bessie, riding slowly as he says, “Don’t worry kids, I got Bessie, well get rid of that spore” But soon sees Lloyd falls to the ground next to him along with spore juice as Hop Pop disappointingly says, “Oh guess I’m too late, you can have the leftovers Bessie. Lloyd is Apothecary Gary again? You think that thing would choose anyone else.” Bessie purrs happily and eats up the spore guck. But it wasn’t over yet as the Shellbreaker was still active with no spore this time. The others get ready for another round as Sora said, “It’s still alive, get ready” But before they could attack, a group of Nobodies, Dusk types, slithered right in front of them! The Shellbreaker didn’t just resemble a turtle with six legs, but also a beetle as the shell broke in half and started to fly. The flying Heartless retreated into the forest along with the Nobodies. Sprig asked, “What the heck? Were those more Heartless?” Sora answers, “No, those were Nobodies, they must have come to this world too.” Polly asks, “This world?” But Sora retracts, “Ha, I mean town, uh so you guys dealt with these spores before?” Ann explains, “More like got mind controlled, thanks to Hop Pop.” Hop Pop tries to apologize again, “I said I was sorry! Besides you guys had it coming.” Sprig points out with quotation fingers, “Oh yeah because we were “horsing around” and we kept “breaking” your ship.” Polly told him “We did break his ship, like constantly” Sprig crosses his arms, “Ok fine, we’re still sorry but mind control is bad. Period.” Sora suggested, “How about we question the perp?” Ann asks, “Why? Those spores are gone as well as the Heartless right?” Donald points out, “Spores, fine but the Heartless are still here, along with those Nobodies, it’s our job to clean this mess up, come on”They find Lloyd still unconscious as Goofy wakes him up. Lloyd gets up and rubs his head saying, “Oh what happened?” Goofy asks him, “Are you OK?” Lloyd answers, “Other than a migraine, I think I’m OKkkkk aaaah!” He screams as they all scream too realizing that Lloyd was missing his left hand! Lloyd screams waving his wrist going, “I’m a monster, whaaa, I’m hideous I’m oh wait, wait never mind, the sleeve was covering my hand, ha sorry long robe, now where do I live again?” Donald groans, “Unbelievable” Hop Pop asks, “Gary, um sorry I mean Lloyd, what was the last thing you remember?” Lloyd explains, “You look familiar, well whatever I guess I can trust you. I was just minding my own business sleeping on a log while sleeping like a log” They all made plain faces wondering if Lloyd was making a pun or not as he continued, “While I was snoring/ribbitting away, a bug with spores crawled into my mouth or at least I think it crawled into my mouth” Polly asks, “What do you mean you think, it did or didn’t” Lloyd points out, “Well before I blacked out, I think I saw a person in a cloak jamming the spore covered bug in my mouth, guy was about as tall as well that girl with the broccoli head.” He points to Ann in height comparison and everyone wondered as Hop Pop said, “Another human?” And Sora, Donald and Goofy thought of one thing in their mind as they whispered to each other, “A black coat?” and Goofy said, “But they're all gone now, aren’t they?” Donald added, “Well who knows, I mean they even controlled the Nobodies too, which helped that giant Heartless escape.” Sora found it hard to believe and said, “We won’t know for sure until we find out what’s going on.” As the others whispered, Ann asked, “Hey you guys might need help tracking these Heartless and Nobodies down right?” and Sora said, “Really, you guys wanna help us?” Sprig added, “Sure, those things are still gonna be trouble for our town, so we might as well finish them off!” He said in a grim voice at the end. Polly hops happily saying, “I wanna get in on this action, I have the taste for battle and I want more!” Perhaps the siblings were enjoying this too much but despite that, Sora, Donald and Goofy didn’t seem to mind. Hop Pop on the other hand said, “Whoa hold up, helping Sora getting rid of the spores was one thing, but going into the deep dark terrifying swamp is still a nightmare, especially for you kids!” Ann points out, “Come on Hop Pop, we survived worst! Plus we got Sora and his friends to back us up!” Hop Pop looks at the new friends as they smile and still thinks saying, “Ah I don’t know” Goofy pleads, “We appreciate their help but we'll promise to take good care of them, I know what it’s like about children safety, especially if they’re in danger. My little boy Max is young and sometimes reckless but he’s also a knight in training hoping to become just like his old man!” As Goofy almost cries, Sora whispers at Donald, “I still can’t believe he has a son, he never mentioned him before.” Donald says, “Well you never asked, I mean it’s no weirder when you first met my nephews in Traverse Town.” Sora points out, “Oh yeah same time with you guys too. Hope Max does well in Disney Town along with the others.” While they talked, they noticed Hop Pop was touched by Goofy’s story and hugged him in tears, “Oh Goofy! You’re the wisest lizard I’ve ever met, take my kids, train them to be the very best! Make them fight each other just to toughen them up if you have to!” Ann calms him down, “Whoa, thanks for the permission but take it easy” Hop Pop apologizes, “Sorry, but how exactly are you going to follow those Heartless?” Sprig looks at the captured Heartless still in it’s cage next to Bessie and says, “Oh I know someone who can help with that!” Everyone arrives at a bakery and Sprig knocks on the door. Sora asks, “I don’t get it, how does a bakery help us find the rest of Heartless?” Sprig tells Sora, “Don’t worry, there’s someone here who can help us out in finding them.” The door is answered by chef Flour and calls in the back, “Maddie, Sprig is here to take you back!” Sprig exclaims, “What, no no no! We’re just friends now, the engagement is over! Besides I’m seeing Ivy Sundew” Ann screams, “Oh your dating now! OMGosh! Tell me the details!” Polly groans, “Gross” Sora and the rest giggle and Sprig says, “We’re just hanging out, nothing serious, can we please see Maddie now!” The chef lets him in and they see a little blue frog girl baking cookies and twirling a cauldron at the same time! She creepily turns around and smiles at her guest, “Hi Ann, Polly, Mr. Plantar…hello Sprig, I knew you’d come back for me.” Sprig nervously said, “ah, hey Maddie um you know we’re just friends now right?” Then she turns down the creep factor, casually walks to them and says, “Yeah I know, I’m just teasing is all, speaking of tease, who’s your new tall friend?” She turns her attention to Sora and introduces himself, “Oh um I’m Sora and these are-” He was about to introduce Donald and Goofy but she ignores them as she admired him, “Your skin is like the color of crimson blood and your hair is as sharp as rabid porcupines! Are you engaged?” Sora nervously backs away as Maddie got closer. Ann luckily gets in between them and asks, “Maddie, you can date Sora later if you help us find us more of these Heartless.” She points to Hop Pop holding the caged Heartless and Sora exclaims, “Date?”. Maddie narrows her one visible eye through her bangs and says, “Ok!” She gets out a pouch of powder, sprinkles on the Heartless and soon it’s in a trance. Maddie explains, “OK get the Heartless out and tell it to find it’s kind, that way it will lead you to the trail, similar to the trail curse I did for you last time.” Hop Pop let’s out the Heartless and it slowly leads the way while still walking into a door. Hop Pop opens it and the Heartless keeps walking out. Hop Pop gets out and says, “OK kids, I guess you're on your own. Sora, Donald, Goofy, protect my family or ELSE!” Goofy laughs, “Oh Hop Pop you're such a kidder” But he makes a serious expression and Donald adds, “I don’t think he’s joking” and Hop Pop says, “Dang right! Be good and don’t do anything stupid!” As he left, the others followed the Heartless. Sprig waves to Maddie, “Thanks for the help Maddie!” Maddie waves with a newly made doll looking like Sora, “Anytime, bye Sora, I hope to see you reeaal soon!” Sora with a scared look waves and runs off. Maddie’s father asks her, “Your not really gonna marry that boy are you? He looks too old for you” Maddie laughs, “Nah, I was just playing, nice disguise though.” The Chef exclaims, “Disguise?!” Maddie explains, “Yep, he smells like Ann, all human, don’t know about the other two though, talk about weird fellas” She says as she puts a needle in the Sora doll. Deep in the swamp, the Heartless still continues walking in a trance and the others follow while attacking random Heartless and Nobodies getting in their way. As they continued, Sora compliments Ann saying, “That was some nice sword play, where did you learn to fight like that?” Ann replies, “Thanks, learned it from a thief…and almost got tricked into robbing a train with treasure in the process” But Sprig corrects her, “Almost? Don’t you mean did?” Ann talks back, “Hey we gave it back and caught the thief, besides I still got to keep this neat sword.” Donald asks, “What about the tennis racket?” Ann replies, “Oh that’s just for gym club. I have a mean sport streak” Polly adds, “I believe her after the Bugball game. Hey look!” Polly hops on the ground and finds something as Goofy asks, “What ya find?” Polly holds up a weird yellow doll with no nose and brown hair and says, “Hey I remember this creepy thing, it was inside that Bed and Breakfast Inn with the cannibal toads!” Goofy screams, “Oh my gosh! Cannibal toads?” Sprig shakes, “Ug don’t remind me of that night, I still have nightmares!” Sora looks at the doll closely but notices something familiar when he says out loud, “Cricket Green?” ,Cricket Green was one of Sora’s summoners, along with his sister, Tilly Green. They were two lost kids who chased down a shadow Heartless down from Big City and ended up in Twilight Town. After joining him, Sora hopes to bring them back home. As Sora pondered, Polly corrects him, “Huh no, it’s not a green cricket, it’s just a creepy doll in suspenders.” As she threw it away, Jiminy Cricket pops out of Sora’s pocket and asks, “Did somebody say a cricket?” Sora whispers, “Jimmy hide! These frogs might eat you by mistake, remember Waddles the pig?” While Jiminy gasps and hides, Donald asks, “How’d that doll end up here?” Ann explains, “It must have been thrown all the away here after I blew up their Inn…with science! Pretty proud of that!” Sprig confusingly says, “I still don’t get how baking soda and vinegar can be explosive?” While they talked about that random time, Sora pointed out, “Hey the Heartless is still going, come on!”They still kept going and luckily it was a good idea to take a break back then because this journey was very long. Donald tiredly says, “I seriously can’t keep waddling” Polly replies, “Waddling? What are ya some kind of chicken? And why you complaining, I’m feeling fine and I don’t even have my legs yet.” Donald grumbling replies, “Well lucky you! Why didn’t we take your snail for a ride?” Ann answers, “Well Hop Pop is still mad after taking Bessie joy riding last time of course, just be glad we got permission to travel in this deep dark path filled with large creepy branches and um….wait, does this path look familiar to you guys?” Sprig looks around noticing large mountains and answered, “Yeah your right, doesn’t this path lead to..” And soon they arrive at a stone bridge leading to a ruined castle tower. Polly screams, “Holly crud, we’re back at Toad Tower.” The Heartless soon walks across the stone bridge as Sora, Donald and Goofy followed but Sora noticed Ann being hesitant. Sora asks, “Hey you coming?” Ann rubs her shoulder and says, “Y-yeah right behind you.” As Sora turns back, Sprig grabs Ann’s hand and asks her, “Hey you gonna be OK? I know it’s not easy coming back here since-“ Ann quickly replies, “I’m fine, let’s just get this over with.” At the ruins, they see bricks scattered around with some of the walls broken down. In the courtyard, they see the Heartless in the center and not moving. Sora waves his hand in front of the Heartless’s eyes but nothing and says, “I guess this must be the place” Donald suggested, “Come on, maybe we can search for clues around here” As they looked around, The Plantars and Ann came by and she looked up at the tower with a sad sigh wondering what happened to her friend. Around the corner, Donald and Goofy found something to their surprise and picked it up. It was blue cone cap with stars and a crescent moon design as Goofy exclaims, “You don’t think this is master Yen Sid’s cap do you? Maybe it’s a spare?” Donald gets a close look at it and says, “Nah, just a fake! It has no bottom rim.” As he tosses it a side, Sora found something too. It was a slab wall that once belonged in a prison cell with some writing on it. Sora read it out loud, “SASH WUZ HERE, wonder who that was?” Ann was standing next to him almost trembling when she said, “She’s...another human like me. Her name is Sasha, my best friend. Or I think she was.” Ann sits down on some rumble as Polly and Sprig comfort her. Sora with a concerned look says, “Was? What happened here?”Ann took a deep breath and tells her story, “Three months ago during my birthday, I opened a strange music box that ended up teleporting me to this world and I wasn’t alone. Sasha and Marcy were there too. I guess it was a form of punishment or karma to open it.” Goofy asks, “What do you mean punishment?” Ann continues, “I - I stole it from a thrift shop. Truth is I didn’t want to but my friends made me. I guess I’ve been friends with them for such a long time that I didn’t want to disappoint them or else I wouldn’t be friends with them any more.” Sora, without judging eyes asked, “You were willing to steal for your friends?” Ann with a guilty look explains, “There was a lot of things I didn’t want to do but Sasha was one of my best friends since kindergarten. She’s really fun to hang out with sometimes but truth is, she’s a bit manipulative in getting what she wants. For instance, a few weeks ago I finally got to reunite with my best friend but she ended up working with this toad army that controls almost all of Amphibia.” Sprig takes a turn to explain, “Basically the toads wanted to crush some kind of rebellion in our town and they were willing to feed our Hop Pop to a giant frog eating plant since he was like some kind of inspiration and Sasha ended up turning evil! Um, sorry Ann.” Ann tells him, “It’s OK, I’m not sure what happened to her but she made a deal with the toads that if she helps crush this frog rebellion, we get to go home. I knew deep down she was a bit of a bully but I didn’t think she would do something like this. We even ended up fighting each other in a sword duel because she wanted to hurt my new friends like Sprig and during all that chaos, she was about to fall off that tower over there. I caught her hand and she was about to let go, regretting her decisions. Last thing she said to me was ‘Your better off without me’. She’s alive I think but I’m not sure if I’ll ever see her again or if she wants to see me?” Ann was almost about to cry when she looks down and Sora saw this exact same pattern reflecting his own life. He asks, “But after all this time, you still wanna find her right, you still think of her as your friend?” Ann looks up and says, “What?” Sora sits down across from her and tells his story, “A long time ago, I lived on an island with two best friends. One of them was named Riku, we were pretty competitive in doing things but we still had fun, along with our good friend Kairi.” Polly adds, “Oh I smell a love triangle!” Sora exclaims, “It was nothing like that!” Polly smiles and narrows her eyes, “Uh huh, sure it wasn’t, continue.” Sora sighs and explains, “Anyway, life was good until our home was in danger and we ended up separated. I was in some random town and I didn’t know what to do until I met these two guys.” Sprig tells Ann, “Hey just like how we met, right Ann? Spranne against the world!” Donald asks, “Spranne?” But Sora continues. “While I journeyed with these guys, I ended up meeting Riku again but he became like a different person after working with an evil witch. He was willing to hurt anyone that got his way as long as our friend Kairi got better, who was sick and once she got better, they can go home. He even fought me and my friends but in the end, he regretted his decisions.” Ann curiously asks, “What happened to him?” Sora answers, “Well long story short, he’s a good guy now but there were times he was avoiding me because of his guilt but no matter how much he wanted to run away, I always wanted to be at his side and Kairi wanted all of us to stay friends, who’s OK now.” Polly exclaims, “Love triangle!” Sora sighs and says, “What ever, point is we don’t give up on our friends, I know you’ll find Sasha again.” With his inspired words, Sprig says, “And will help find her as well Ann, cause we’re friends to!” Polly also adds, “Yeah! And if she turns mean again, I’ll slap her silly until she turns good! You know I will!” Ann wipes her tears and hugs them when she stands up and happily says, “Thanks guys! And thank you Sora.” Sora gets up and says, “Welcome. By the way, what’s Marcy like?” Ann replies, “You really want to know who Marcy is? Well, OK I’ll tell you.”

Kingdom Hearts AfterMath: One Hop to Amphibia Ch.1
He did it, he finally did it, Sora has defeated Organization XIII with all the Xehanort incarnations as well as the original leader. All Thirteen Seekers of Darkness are gone thanks to the help of all different allies both old and new alike. Of course they weren’t the only enemies for they once controlled a vast number of different armies that threaten these worlds. The Heartless, are the most common creatures of darkness born without hearts. Nobodies, the remains of what’s left of a person when the heart is gone. All of these enemies took different shapes and forms to match each of these worlds to take over thanks to the terrible actions of Xehanort and the other members. At one time, all the Heartless, Nobodies and other enemies gathered at Kingdom Hearts, where Xehanort attempted to open the gate with the X (Key)-Blade. But Sora stopped him and sealed Kingdom Hearts along with Xehanort for good. After that, he enjoyed his moments with his friends on Destiny Island, but it was only brief, for another mission arose. Apparently opening Kingdom Hearts caused a rift to unknown worlds that Sora never visited before thus opening new door ways. And after the sealing, some of the Heartless & other enemies didn’t exactly get trapped or had their hearts released but instead ended up escaping to these other new worlds. And so Sora, along with his friends, Donald the wizard and Goofy the knight were called back by the great sorcerer Yen Sid, master of King Mickey, to save these new worlds from the Heartless once again and seal the secret keyholes. Soon they arrive in a swamp like world thanks to their Gummi ship and land. *Title sequence + song* The camera moves over a forest as the title of this world is revealed as a silhouette of a green frog, hopping on 3 different lily pads. The last lily pad forms an island, keeping the same shape but showing mountains and greenery of different lands. Then the same frog passes in front of the lily pad island as letters hop behind it, spelling the word “Amphibia” while a blue glowing mushroom grows from the second “i”. The trio walk through the dark swamp as Sora first says, “Welp same ol same ol right? Defeat the Heartless and save another world.” Goofy, not far behind says, “Yeah, not to mention the Nobodies too and who knows what other enemies lurk in this spooky swamp. But on the plus side, we get to make new friends here, it’s gonna be a hoot” Donald adds, “Yeah well let’s just be glad we don’t have to deal with the Organization or any Xehenorts anymore! I rather just finish the job and get back to Daisy! I don’t wanna miss another date again!” Of course Donald would be tired of all this, just as Sora wished he was finished and be with his friends back home. He remembers how his friends like Riku, Lea and the other Keyblade wielders wanted to help him, but he wanted them to take it easy after finally getting back. But most of all, he wanted Riku to watch over Kairi now that he’s on a new journey again. Sora sighs and says, “I know Donald, the last fight was tough but we can’t ignore these other worlds now that they're filled with Heartless, it’s our job to get rid of them before anyone gets hurt.” Donald agrees to his statement, “Yeah your right Sora. Sorry, I guess I’m just cranky since this place is just so darn dark! A phooey, I can’t see anything in these wet lands!” He was right, it was so dark in the swamp that they couldn’t even see each other except the outlines of their bodies. Luckily Goofy points and says, “Hey fellas I see an open area filled with light, come on!” As they run, soon the sun shines in Sora’s face as he tries to cover the light with his right hand. But that’s when he notices something strange about his right hand. For instance, it was red and scaly like the rest of his body! Soon he turns around and finds out Donald and Goofy changed too as they all acted surprised. Sora points out, “Whoa guys, I’ve changed and so did you! Am I a frog?” Donald jumped around and screamed, “Wah! My skin, it’s all blue! And what happen to my beak? I have a chin now! Rib it!” Donald croaks as his chin grows then shrinks realizing he became a frog too or more like a small toad. Goofy on the other hand, became a lizard with green skin and a long tail with spot at the end. Goofy’s jaw dropped as he says, “Oh my Gosh, we must have a um what’s the word? mutatored? mutatad?” Soon a fly hovers near Goofy’s face and he instantly eats it with his long tongue. Both of them get grossed out but Goofy smacks his lips, “Mmm mighty tasty, could use some salt.” Sora points out, “Ew, Goofy you just ate a fly!” But Donald adds, “Eh no different before he became a lizard.” Sora reacts, “Wait really?” As they keep looking at themselves and talking, they didn’t notice the brown bushes that surrounded them were starting to move a bit. Sora sees his reflection on a clear puddle and notices while his skin and face have changed, his clothes stayed the same much like Donald and Goofy but with some slight alterations. Sora feels his face and asks, “Ha, no nose, so you think this has to do with following the world order?” Donald answers, “Well duh, I’m surprised you haven’t figured that out sooner after seeing those talking toys or the monsters in the past worlds.” Goofy thinks and adds, “Which means there might be giant talking reptiles in this world.” Sora turns around and agrees, “Sounds plausible, maybe we can find-“ Before he could even finish that sentence, the brown bushes instantly reveal themselves to be a pack of very large wild hedgehogs. The trio stand together as they get their weapons out. Sora the Keyblade wielder says, “Oh man, they have us trapped, they’re not Heartless are they?” Donald with his magic staff, replies “No I don’t think so, and what’s that on their heads?” They all notice some strange fungus growing on the hedgehogs and Goofy, with shield in hand says, “They look like mushrooms.” *Mini-boss battle* Soon the hedgehog pack leader, which was blue colored comes in front and howls a command to attack! As the rabid hedgehogs attack their prey, Donald uses his different spells to scurry them away and Goofy defends himself and his friends as he deflects the hedgehog’s spike attacks and biting. Sora tries his best too as he swings his Keyblade but gets a little tired as he says, “It’s no use, they just keep attacking us.” Goofy figures by saying, “Your right, maybe it’s those mushrooms on their heads, it could be giving them the strength to fight.” Donald also adds his inquiry, “Yeah and that blue hedgehog is leading their attack. Sora focus on the blue one, we’ll handle the mushrooms.” Sora nods saying, “Got it!” With a new battle plan, Donald uses burning spells like Firaga to burn off the mushrooms as Goofy bashes the mushrooms off with his shield. Sora avoids the enemies and focuses on their leader but the blue hedgehog was too fast to hit. Sora soon changes his Keyblade ‘Kingdom Key' to ‘Mystery Mark’ as he says, “OK you're fast, so how about you get a load of this!” Like his past Keyblades and with enough energy, Sora changes the form of his Keyblade into a new useful tool! For Mystery Mark, it transforms into a giant log like totem pole. As Sora holds it, he swings the very large totem around, knocking out all the hedgehogs, including the blue one! With little energy left, he uses his final attack as he jumps up in the air and slams the hilt of the totem straight on top of the blue hedgehog’s head. Once that was done, Sora removes the shroom from the blue creature’s head and it comes to his senses. The other hedgehogs wake up with no shrooms on their heads too and retreat without knowing how they got there. Sora wipes his head and says, “Man, first battle in this world and I’m already whipped. That blue hedgehog was way past fast compared to the other ones, reminds me of that friend Wreck it Ralph keeps talking about all the time. Hey what’s this?” Sora sees a large chest similar to other worlds he’s seen and opens it up. Sora retrieves the Louis summoner: which is an alligator who dreams of being a jazz musician. With trumpet in hand, he plays his tune and dances while swinging his tail to attack enemies. Sora puts the summoner locket in his pocket and says, “Cool, this could be useful later.” As he turns, he sees Donald and Goofy looking at the mushroom spore guck from the hedgehogs. Sora came to them and wondered, “This stuff made them stronger?” He attempted to touch it but Donald stops him shouting, “Sora don’t touch it!” Goofy exclaims, “Yeah it could be dangerous!” Sora apologizes, “OK sorry, sorry, what do you think it is?” Donald answers, “I don’t know but what ever it is, it can’t be good. We better get out of here before we’re ambushed again.” As they try to figure out how, Goofy calls them near a very large blue dim mushroom growing from one of the trees. “Hey fellas! Check this out.” Said Goofy, as he touches the mushroom, it starts to glow like a lamp and soon a row of them light up a path. Sora cheers, “Way to go Goofy! Come on let’s get out of here!” They finally made it out of the swamp lands thanks to the glowing path and find themselves at a plain field with roads. They put their weapons away and see a post sign pointing to different towns but have no clue where to go as Sora says, “So where do you think the Heartless are? I haven’t seen any of them ever since we entered this world.” Goofy implies, “Not sure, maybe we can find a town and ask someone if any attacks have happened. Problem is these towns look pretty far away, it might take too long to go on foot. That’s when Donald spotted something down the road and says, “Hey! I see a carriage, maybe we can ask them for a ride”. They wait for a while to see what was coming while lifting their thumbs up but the ride ends up taking way too long to come. So they decided to walk to the carriage and notice why it was slow. Sora, with a surprised look says, “Is that a giant snail?” Donald, with a dead stare goes, “That explains a lot.” Finally the snail stops for them and they notice a seat filled with a small frog family, as if they're riding the snail like a horse. The family made up of a red senior, a purple female pollywog with a large yellow bow, a pink boy frog with a green hat and goggles and apparently a teenage human girl wearing only one shoe. The senior speaks first, “Why hello gentlemen, what can I do for you?” Goofy answers, “Hi, we’re wondering if we can get a ride to any nearby town? and Donald asks, “And did you happen to see any creature attacks recently?” The pink frog says, “Well that’s ridiculous, there’s always creature attacks like everywhere.” The pollywog says with narrow eyes goes, “And why do you want to hitch a ride with us, you trying to jack us?” The senior calms her down, “Be nice sweetie! Sorry, what kind of creatures you talking about?” Sora points out, “Well the kind that looks like little black shadows with yellow eyes.” Donald adds, “And pointy ears too.” That’s when the human girl tells the senior, “Oh I think they’re talking about that thing we found at the field!” Goofy says, “You found something?” The pink frog points to the back and says, “Yep! Caged up and ready to poke at.” That’s when Sora, Donald and Goofy look behind and notice a small wagon attached to the snail and on top, a caged up Heartless. Donald exclaims, “You guys caught a Heartless?” The pink frog boy says, “Is that what they’re called? Dang, I was hoping to call them glowly eyes. Oh well, let’s see how much they’re worth!” The human girl adds, “Man you are stone cold, I want a share of that money too!” Sora with a surprised look asks, “How’d you guys caught it?” The human girl explains with a flashback, “Well..”During back then, the girl and pink frog were playing baseball at a field while the senior frog and pollywog were near a stand buying supplies and food. The girl was the pitcher with a pinecone and the pink frog was at the bat with a stick. The girl wides up and says, “Ok you ready?” and the pink boy lifts the stick up and replies, “Oh I was born ready”. But the boy frog wasn’t aware that a Heartless was lurking right behind him. The girl noticed and warns him, “Hey behind you!”. The boy puts the stick on his shoulder and turns around instantly when he goes “huh?”. When the Heartless attacks him from behind, it accidentally gets hit by the boy’s stick as he quickly turned around. He didn’t notice what’s behind him until he looks at the ground. Back to the present, Sora and his friends were impressed as he says, “Wow, close call, but these are still dangerous, we should get rid of them for ya.” But the senior instead says, “Now hold on, we like to know what we’re dealing with here, I’ll get some experts to figure out what this thing is. Obviously you know something, so you can come with us. Gang, make some room.” So they got on top of the snail and trailed off slowly. The senior finally introduces himself, “Well since this will take a while, we might as well be friends by stating our names, probably should have done that in the first place. I’m Hopadiah Plantar, but everyone in my family calls me Hop Pop.” Goofy says, “Nice to meet you Hop Pop, I’m Goofy.” Hop Pop screams, “I said only my family calls me Hop Pop!” Goofy gets scared, “Garsh!” Hop Pop laughs, “Ah I’m just joking with yeah Goofy! This little lady is name Polly” Donald looks at her and tries to pet her as he says, “Doh she’s got a cute bow like Daisy” When he almost touches her, Polly instantly bites his hand as Donald screams, “Quack aah!” Polly let’s go and spits as she says, “Blah! Why the heck do you taste like feathers?” The human girl also add, “And did you just quack?” Donald tries to keep the ruse that he’s a frog. “Ha no reason, anyway I’m Donald”, He says as he sucks on his fingers. Sora and the human girl were the last ones as they said their names and shook hands. The human girl speaks, “Well I’m Ann Boonchuy, not sure if you knew this but I’m called a human being, from another world!” As she exclaims with her left hand in the air, Sora wasn’t too surprised about the human part but found it odd that a human outsider came to this non human world, much like Boo or Marco Diaz. Ann, still holding Sora’s hand asks, “Hey, you OK?” Sora gets back on track and let's go as he says, “Oh huh, sorry, I’m Sora.” He still looks at Ann and notices her hair thinking, “Wow, and people assume my hair is huge” and also finds her height to be taller than him. He then asks, “Hey, how old are you?” Ann answers, “Thirteen, how about you?” Sora says, “Sixteen” Sprig hops next to Sora and says, “Oh I get it, sorry Sora, but she’s not into dating frog people.” Everyone giggles except Sora and Ann who blush. Sora exclaims, “What, no course not! I’m just wondering why she’s so tall?” Goofy tries to point out a clue to not give away who they are, “Well maybe it’s the ‘rules of this world Sora, mmm?’” Sora thinks and remembers their transformation and that they must have shrunk to match the frog people’s height. “Oh right, rules, ha, sorry.” Polly confusingly says, “Rules of this world? I don’t get it.” Hop Pop figures, “Ah probably a philosophy, rules of this world, I like that Goofy. You're a pretty smart fella, especially with that voice.” Goofy compliments him, “Thank you, I like your voice too, you sound very wise yourself a-huck!” Hop Pop says back, “I don’t know what a-huck means, but thanks” That’s when everyone notice something strange about Goofy and Hop Pop. Ann points out, “Hey guys, do you feel like your voices sound kind of the same?” Sora agreed, “Yeah that’s what I was thinking!” Hop Pop says, “What? Don’t be ridiculous!” Sprig asks Goofy, “Hey Goofy, can you scream, ‘say whaaaa?’” Goofy complies and goes, “OK, say whaaaa?” Hop Pop speaks out, “Is that supposed to be my catch phrase?”.Soon they arrive at the Planter’s hometown, Wartwood Swamp. Sora, Donald and Goofy were amazed by all the town folk being short talking frogs living in houses, some man made or in this case, frog made next to giant tall plants such as cattails and water lotus. They also noticed giant insects flying around but not showing much danger. Soon Sora gets out his Gummiphone and says, “Man I should get pictures of this place” That’s when the Planters notice his phone when Sprig said, “Whoa! You have a magic box like Ann?” And she gets out her phone too, and compares hers to Sora’s as she says, “Whoa! I never thought I’d be the only one, huh your cover is shaped like a crown. Well I prefer kitty cat covers any da-whoa wait a minute, how did YOU get a phone?” Sora was bewildered when he said, “Um I’m guessing frog people don’t have phones?” As Donald whispers, “Oh no”, Hop Pop points out, “Well course not son, Ann is like the only human we’ve seen that has that gizmo.” Polly asks with suspicious looks, “Yeah! Where did you get it? Did you steals it? Cause I feel like stealing it, probably shouldn’t have told you that.” Sora, Donald and Goofy try to think of an excuse and Goofy blurts out, “We uh made it!” and Donald adds, “With magic, magic exists in this world right?” Ann answers, “Yeah apparently magic exists.” The Planter family grew silent, then Sprig asks, “Can you make some for us?” Sora says, “Um sorry, it’s a one of a kind, which is very very VERY hard to make! Yeah! Oh boy, I sure am hungry after this long interroga-I mean trip, you guys know a place to eat?” That’s when Ann lights up and exclaims, “Oooh I know the perfect place.” The best place to eat for the Plantar family and their new friends was Stumpy’s Lily Pad Thai restaurant. The the new guests could smell the delicious aroma in the air as they all go “mmmm!” and Goofy speaks to Sora, “I think little chef is gotta get some new ideas from this restaurant.” Goofy was referring to a little rat who could make delicious food when they met him in Twilight Town thanks to Scrooge McDuck. Donald gets impatient and says, “Oh boy, oh boy! Let’s go in!” As he waddles in and rings the bell. Soon the others enter to and Stumpy, the owner of the restaurant greets them by putting his prosthetic hands together and speaks in Thai, “sah wah dee khrap!” Sora, Donald and Goofy notice Hop Pop and Sprig say the same “sah wah dee khrap!” and they thought they should be polite as they try to imitate the greeting too. The girls, Ann and Polly use a different greeting, “sah wah dee khan”. While they finished greeting each other, Stumpy speaks to Ann in his regular accent, “Ann me girl, good to see you lass! I got a table ready just for ya family!” Ann cheerly says, “Thanks Stumpy! I also got some friends joining us, mind getting us a bigger table?” Stumpy notices the three new faces. “Oh! I’m gotta need to cook some bigger dishes”, He says as he changes his prosthetic parts to a butcher knife and a sharpening tool. Later on, they get seated and ordered a dish. While they wait, Ann points out, “You guys are gonna love it here! You know it’s thanks to me I reinvented this place. It used to be a huge dump, yeesh” But Sprig points behind her and she noticed Stumpy with an angered look as he says, “A dump for Stump eh?” Ann panics and tries to apologize, “Ah! I didn’t mean it like that, I’m - “ But Stumpy pats her on the back and laughs, “Ha! I’m kidding, course it was a huge dump. But thanks for turning it around for me lass. Here kids, it’s on me!” He brings their dishes and passes the food around. The Plantars were thrilled to get their food and started eating. Sora, Donald and Goofy got their dishes too but noticed something strange about their food. While Ann ate, she noticed them not eating and asked, “Hey is everything alright you guys?” Sora asked, “Um are these bugs mixed in the noodles?” Ann answers, “Oh yeah it’s called Phat wan sen. In my world, it’s Glass noodles, stir fried with egg and vegetables and mixed with meat and seafood. But since this is a frog Thai fusion, noodles are replaced with worms and the eggs are larva instead with some other bugs I rather not think about right now. Overall, it’s actually good, you guys don’t eat bugs?” Polly was shocked, “What’s wrong with you guys, it’s like you never eaten flies before!” Hop Pop calms her down, “Relax Polly, they're probably herbivores.” Sprig points out, “I don’t get it, it’s not even winter?” Hop Pop corrects him, “I said herbivores boy not hibernation.” Sora was thinking the only animals I know that love eating bugs were Timon and Pumba. But they had to make sure they didn’t want them to know that they’re from another world and all of them took a bite. They thought they would get sick but soon they started finishing the rest of the food. After they finished eating, they rubbed their bellies. Polly couldn’t stop herself from rolling around the table due to looking much rounder than usual. Hop Pop speaks, “Welp that was a fine meal now what’s this Heartless exactly?” and Sprig adds, “And how much should we sell it? One copper piece? No! Two! No no wait! Three! Yeah that’s a smart move!” Hop Pop calms him down, “Settle down boy, they’re not pets!” Sora agrees and says, “He’s right, they're really dangerous. Basically they're creatures born from people’s hearts and filled with nothing but darkness.” Ann’s eyes widen when she heard this, “Whoa seriously? You mean like bad people could turn into those creatures?” She says as she thinks about her “other” friends. Sora answers, “Yeah something like that, but it’s weird, ever since we came to this wor-ah town, we haven’t seen any Heartless.” Goofy adds, “Yeah it’s like they’re all hiding or something.” Donald also adds, “Yeah the only thing we had to deal with were those giant rabid hedgehogs,” Ann trembles as she says, “Oooh, don’t get me started with those things. I was surrounded when Bessie wouldn’t move but luckily the old girl moved fast thanks to Hop Pop’s guide book.” Hop Pop, confused by her story asked, “Ann, when exactly did this happened?” Ann nervously answered, “He he he, when I went joy riding…without your permission” Sprig trying to act calmly goes, “And I totally wasn’t getting swamp slushes that time with her too!”. Hop Pop softly speaks, “You two will be picking weeds for the weekend” Both of them groan at their punishment. Sora continues, “Well it was hard to deal with them” and Goofy adds, “Yeah especially with those weird purple glowing mushrooms growing from their backs.” Soon the Plantar family looked pale when they heard Goofy’s last sentence as Ann dropped her fork and asked, “Did you say-“ Sprig finishes, “weird purple glowing mushrooms!” and the trio go, “Yeah”. Polly turns to Hop Pop and grabs him at his face and screams, “What did you do old man!” and Hop Pop answers, “I swear I never touched the stuff again, it’s not me this time. Also you shouldn’t treat your elders that way.” Polly apologizes, “Sorry”. Soon they hear screaming outside and run out the door.
