Chapter 1

Chapter 2

History Class was boring as all Shell. Rambling about this thing called National Socialism and this painter named Adolf getting into politics. But there was a major chill down my spine when he got to talking about the slaughter of millions of innocent lives. And almost immediately I knew how it felt to be Xehanort, understanding the sheer weight of the genocide that was triggered by these, for lack of a better word, tyrants. Well, that's one thing about the Service to be thankful for: They target only the agents of the master players, and if they can't catch 'em, hey, more work for guys like me, am I right?

We broke for Lunch a couple hours later and we all sat together at the same table, I was served this glob of thick white shapes with a side of these orange sticks. I was curious as to what this was so I asked Riley about this since she's what we call the 'Earth Expert' around these parts.

"You haven't even heard of Macaroni and Cheese?" Riley was taken aghast by this sudden revelation as if it was shocking. "Have you ever looked at what you've eaten before."

"Well, uh. Yeah! I get a cone of spaghetti every second tuesday of the month!" My reinforced stance on the service, got a bit of a stare from Riley. Luckily for me, Bonnie and Boo were around the corner to break up the tension. Bonnie is Riley's cousin who had been a native of San Francisco since birth, and she's pretty well adjusted to the world around her.

"Guys! Did you hear the news? Boo's gonna show me a world of monsters within her closet!" Bonnie's mouth was muffled shut by Boo's hand.

"It's ah, nothing much. Just showing my buddies around my bedroom. Nothing special..." Boo seemed to be troubled. While Bonnie sees her as the voice of reason in her group. She seems curiously secretive all of a sudden, as if she appears to be hiding. "Y'know, show them a few Toys, play some tunes, jack into some video games and stuff..."

"Cool, but I'm only jacking in for online after I've done a round or two of street hockey at Mrs. DeMeyo's" Riley seemed disinterested in this whole video game thing, aiming more on Hockey. Her signature sport, she's been training in her off season with a courtyard at a neat little terrace on the other side of a tunnel.

"So around 8:30, then?" Boo's words seemed to have deflated Bonnie a bit, "that'd leave Bonnie an hour back at her place."

"But what about the m-" "Magic closet, you ask? Well, that's a secret that ya gotta see for yourself, buddy" Muffled mouth again. She certainly was hiding something, that's for sure.

Chapter 3

Final minutes to the last bell, me, Boo and Bonnie had a study hall in geology. Tracing mountain areas on a map in accordance to the textures of a globe. I rubbed every cubic inch of the thing, my wayward finger somehow slowing to a crawl as I passed Russia.

"Huh, your finger's glued to the rooskies..." Bonnie pondered as my finger started tracing the country in a perfectly circular motion "That's got to be a red flag, always is with superhero stories like this."

"I dunno, Bon." I whispered, "I feel as if something's off with this globe."

"Well, then go fetch another one." Bonnie pointed at the few spare globes in the corner before going to her friend to ask something of her. "Could ya give it a read?"

"I-uh... sure, I might do it, thanks for that, I guess." Boo seemed disinterested in the book, Bonnie just grinned ear to ear as she strutted her way back to her seat.

"Hold up, how'd you get that book?" I asked as Bonnie took out her seat and laid upon it.

"Noel made it for me, Riley's Writer." Well, that was an oddly specific plot twist, which means something's probably up with it.

I couldn't really grill her for the book, so I may as well ask what she's obviously going to ask. "You gave that thing a name?"

"Name's based on Francina's fairy familiar." Bonnie held up a trading card to reveal this slender, 1930s style girl with a christmas ordement around her neck as a pendant. "Twelve Elemental forms, a different weapon for each, and the cute little guy Noel: he has a Happiness!"

"...Clearly." I then decided to get Boo's attention. "So this book's created by a cosmic alien parasite, huh?"

"Yep." Despite her dry tone of voice, she felt concerned for her safety. "Do you have a spare copy for yourself that?"

"Sure!" Bonnie digged into her backpack and took out a small, sealed bag the same size as Boo's book, she handed it to Boo "...And you're handing it to Eraqus?"

"Better safe than sorry," I took the bag from Boo's hands. It felt like it was a paperback cover in there, thick, but flexible. "Just don't try to read it until it starts glowing, again. Like with mine."

She held up her book, the cover was hidden under the cloth, but the shine persisted past the fabric. This meant that there were some side effects occurring with the Book in Question. Meaning that there was something going on, something strange, and that meant the Master Players are making their next move when I was clearly ready to take that move head on!

Chapter 4

I was walking to Riley's house for the day to help Riley get her hockey gear and she allowed me to text Yen-Sid with her Cellphone, the problem: her lone chatroom app is HuddleHombre

GildedChainbindX86 opened a chat with DaydreamBelieberX86 on 1:23pm

GC: Hey, Belieb.

DB: *sigh*

DB: Yes, Chainbind, what is it.

GC: Guess who's texting on Fiction's Phone?

DB: ...You?

GC: ;)

DB: How in the blazes is that even possible.

GC: She handed me her phone to get the word out that we're off to play some street hockey at Mrs. DeMayo's house.

GC: You coming with?

DB: and humiliate myself in a sport I have no interest in.

DB: I'm sorry, but I've seen too many contact sports to risk my intellect on a collection of concussions.

GC: C'mon, Belieber. Me and Nightshade are walking to her house and I'm gonna need a goalie.

DB: Then ask Nightshade!

DB: You'll do better without me weighing you dorks down.

I lowered the phone and glanced at the boy who looked lost in his own little world. I leaned towards my friend and tried a smile to warm him up. "Xeh, you up for some puck-juggling action today?"

"No thanks, I've got to meet up with Mary, 'Boo' as you call her..." Xehanort retreated from the group. "Maybe you could ask Yen-Sid to come instead."

"Wait, Why would you of all people want in on a visit to a normie house?" I then pieced together the facts from the lunchroom. "Hold up, Is it because of Masako?"

"Wha-Uh, no. Just wanted to see her stuffed animal collection..." Xehanort was sweating like mad, really hit home with him, didn't I?

GC: He's taking the sea siren to Matey's house.

GC: Imma send you the address

MoonlitSunshineX13 started intruding on your chat on 1:24pm

MS: Hey guys, I think you might want to have a look at this.

DB: Not now, Sun.

DB: Me and Chainbind were discussing our impending afternoon.

Chapter A1

I made my way to the apartment as Riley noticed a glow from my bookbag. I did my best to hide it from her and ran to the door and did a complimentary knock and waited for Riley to catch up, when someone came to open the door, I was greeted by a 4'2 bright-yellow sprite in a T-Shirt and bluish-green capri pants with a star gem on the back of her hand.

"Riley, you brought company!" She was grinning ear to ear, I believe her to be a parental guardian, but not her mother. "Come on in, Mister..."

"Erek." I spoke. "Erek Davis, Miss..."

"Please, Call me Citrine!" She started to hurry me into the house where I saw her mom doing a little yoga and her dad sifting through the news, which sported a special headline: TOO MUCH TAXES? Nothing worth thinking about at the moment. "So, whaddoya think of the new blood?"

"Another boy, huh? You little scoundrel." Smirked the mother.

This sent Riley in a tizzy "N-no! I was gonna get Jordan along for the trip to DeMayo's."

"A double dip?" Mrs. Andersen's words saw Riley scrambling to say that 'it isn't like that!', 'We're not a Thing!', 'Stop embarrassing me!' And I was left with little choice but to laugh at this. I've met Jordan two desks down, he's a kinda mellow dude, I like how he's showing up for a round.

Me, Bonnie and Riley marched upstairs to her room to fetch her gear, her helmet, her skates, her hockey stick. I noticed a video camera and a desk with a microphone, all connected to a computer displaying a list of messages.

"Hey, what's that on your desk?" I pointed to a pair of video games sealed in their boxes and they both had the same Kingdom Hearts logo emblazoned onto its orface, I picked up one of them and saw myself sitting on a throne. Xehanort was leaning nearby alongside Masako and Yen-Sid.

"Just Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Re:MIX," Riley's answer was, laughable at best but here it was on the box, A remake of the original trilogy with a bonus remaster of Kingdom Hearts III. "I know, laughable name, but it's still a good way to introduce new fans to the series, unlike 2.5..."

I slid it off the case below it, I saw three children around my age. They all seemed familiar, The blonde in the button shirt with a yin-yang motif, the pink-haired girl with a blue streak of hair, especially the brown-haired dude with the big ol' Keyblade. I don't really know how, but It feels as if I know them somehow. "Those are some characters, huh."

"With only two games to their name." She seemed upset about that, but I held up the back of the game and I found evidence to say otherwise.

"But the box says there's three," I spoke before Riley came up and slowly took the box out of grasp saying, "Yes, all both games of the II series, plus some cutscenes from Days and a download code for Chain of Memories"

"Seriously, there's an actual third game on this thing: Birth by Sleep, I've heard whispers of it at the convention." Riley's eyes snapped into a fierce stare into the soul, as if something about this game's causing some real hurting. "I'll be quiet now."

It was starting to get a little hard to hide the luminescent glow of the book in my bag so I passed Bonnie as she fiddled with the setup. And went to the windowsill to open the book. And sure enough, it was writing itself. I could literally trace my finger across the words as they emerged onto the page in a radiant light.

I closed the book and the cover confirmed my suspiscions.

Kingdom Hearts: Fated Fictions - I Dig Everything

Chapter B1

"Another one?" I was a bit freaked out by this book as it landed on the bright-blue carpet floor, I looked up to find a pink closet door adorned with flowers and surrounded by this metal barrier with a red light in the middle. And neither the door nor the floor were like I saw before the book. The presence of Xehanort and Boo pretty much confirmed where I was.

Xehanort was the first to spot me, and is rightfully startled "Eraqus?"

"Dude, it's this book. It sent me here instead of with Riley!" I scrambled to find the book, I recalled the look of the cover being a pretty deep Cyan color. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't really find it. "I can't seem to find that book!"

I found myself with my nose in the book as I read words aloud as they wrote themselves onto the paper they're printed on: "Looking for this?"

Boo's voice, that's right she got a copy, too. This means that somehow Noel heard my wish to be at two places at once through the books. If this was what the little slugger thought I meant, then I guess our relationship with Noel's officially off to a rocky start.

"Figured Noel would have a superpower like this..." as she broke out her smartphone and got out her phone.

MM: You off to DeMayo's?

CF: Yeah, Mom's driving us as we speak.

CF: What's up, Matey.

MM: You noticed that Chainbind just sorta...

MM: Vanished all of a sudden?

CF: Come to think of it, he left the room without making a sound.

CF: Mom and Dad, not even Citrine and her crew saw him leave the house.

MM: Well, he's...

MM: Already on his way, but he texted me a little warning.

MM: Noel made two copies of another book like the one we got at Fourty Feasts.

MM: Cowgirl gave me one of them in study hall.

CF: Oh, no.

CF: And I have the other book in his bag

CF: Tell me this has nothing to do with anything.

MM: If we're being honest, You might wanna keep a sharp eye on Chainbind today.

MM: Cause we might see the little master end up jumping from copy to copy.

MM: I'll keep you posted if Chainbind figures out how to solve this problem on my end.

MM: You worry about hiding our secret from Mrs. DeMayo

CF: Right. May our hearts guide our magic key

CF: or something...

MM: Station.

you stopped pestering ConclusiveFictionD23 at 1:46pm

I saw the online conversation unfold through the book. The way these texts emerged onto the page was a sort of sweeping fade, much less impressive than how the page wrote down the words I was thinking up.

Xehanort had finished clearing up space for a dimensional corridor, and he raised his Keyblade to channel his energy into creating a gateway to Radiant Garden. We saw the plaza as an approaching figure was talking with her friends, a few seconds with the sound of her voice and we recognized who this was.

"Masako!" Yelped Xehanort with an awkwardly loud yell, I could see his cheeks blushing past the hands as they covered my friend's mouth. But the sheer noise directed Masako's attention away from her friends. "We're exploring Riley's homeworld, wanna come?"

She glanced to her friends and parted ways "See you later guys, I gotta take a quick visit to this world my Keyblade Friends want to show me. You understand, right?"

"Just be safe, okay?" her posse waved goodbye for now, knowing the risk she's taking with her little visit and probably hoping this doesn't end in a much more disasterous retread of the dreaded Prius Incident.

Masako stepped through the portal and looked around the room beyond my slouching compadré. "So, Xeh. Heard you flopped big last week with the Flickerdrive."

Xehanort could only look back in shame. "Yeah, not even SOLDIER's finest could stop the destruction of that world."

"Robinson Industries, right? Geez, it's a struggle to remember the name of it now." Man, oh man. Did Masako hit the nail on the head this time around. This world wasn't merely destroyed, but its past, present and future was scrunched into a fine fluid for the Master Players to plug into who knows what. At least the SOLDIER troops made it out relatively safe. don't really know what they'd do next due to time shenanigans but hey, least they're alright. "Speaking of Remembering things, you've made sure to not repeat the same mistakes from last time, right?"

"Nope, Not letting the ol' Prius Incident repeat itself this time 'round." I blurted out as to back up my buddy before backing off to Boo who was lugging this big and yellow-painted steel canister. So I did my best to help lift it up with her and plug it into the door, activating the light.

"Alright! You guys ready for the big surprise?" Boo was leaning to our faces as Xehanort dryly states. "You never really brought up a-"

Boo kicks open the door, revealing a sort of facility, after stepping through the door and glancing from hallway to hallway to check to see if anyone was out there. But one look in the window reveals all I needed to know, everywhere I looked I saw a congested collection of odd creatures. Big ones, little ones, stringy ones, wide ones, furry ones, scaled ones, monsters everywhere.

A world of Monsters.

Chapter A2

"Oh no! My Carnations!" I glanced to find my hand has pushed over a bottle of orange soda, causing the fluids to pour into a flowerbed that clearly wasn't nearby a moment ago. I looked behind me to find a woman with this short brown pixie-cut of hair with like, one or maybe two streaks of gray. She seemed to look stacked with feminine muscle, and her face seemed chiseled but elegant. She had the look of a mother who had seen her fair share of shenanigans, though that look has had some milage on there with sleepy eyes and a slight laugh line across her cheek. "So... Erek, right?"

"...uh, y-yeah." I scrambled to look a bit dignified in front of her. "And you must be-"

"Linda Briar-DeMayo, you can call me Linda if you like." The doorbell rang as Mrs. DeMayo rushed over to welcome Riley and Bonnie with Jordan picking up the rear, I knew it would be him from the hoodie and the dark-red cap on his head. "Riley! You're just in time to see your friend apologize to feeding my plants a carbonated beverage!"

Riley's glare left me scrambling to explain myself "Look I just sorta popped up here, the thing just sorta came up-"

"Yeah, I kinda figured that when Boo told us about the you know whats." She then pulled out her copy of the book which caught the attention of Mrs. DeMayo.

"Oh! Uh... Kingdom Hearts has a Book Series now?" Mrs DeMayo seemed interested in the Book in her hand. She felt like she just had to reach out and take a look at it. "And it looks original, too. No Nomura characters or anything.."

"That's cause it's ah... It's own distinct universe!" I struggled to keep it out of her hands, even resorting to keep-away with Bon. "No continuity between the books and the games here!"

"Come on, I just want a look." Her hands were on her hips, her foot was tapping, the body language of a busy mom. "Besides, licensed writing's just as mind-numbing as it is on screen!"

"Let it go, lady!" I wavered my hands to shoo her attention away. Riley and her friends finding out about our duties was a fluke, so the last thing we needed is another person being onto us. I mean come on, no one's supposed to know that they're other populated worlds out there, least not until their space program catches up to an extent. So I guess you could say I'm not really all that enthusiastic with having Riley as a part of our crew.

And those feelings naturally came to a head with her Street Hockey Challenge.

Yen-Sid had arrived after all, perfectly content with being the goalie of my group, But he still would rather be sitting around the house doing some fine reading. Riley and Jordan were on the other side, with the girl heavily armored in her hockey gear. There was a bit of a beauty with the Jersey hiding all the protective padding it could, all the down to the helmet cloaking her face in the shadows.

I made my dash to the puck before Riley knocks it between my legs into the goal with a single swing. And Yen-Sid wasn't even paying attention at all! A brief arguement later, It was thirty-three flavors of on!

To and fro, I swerved. Pushing Riley aside with the Puck in tow, she gave chase as I made the serve. And before I knew it, I had Riley cornered 1-3. I was on a roll, and it continued until Riley came from behind and slipped me the fritz up! And before I knew it it was 7-5, then 7-11, and at around 3:13pm, We had twelve apiece. Nothing could be more important than that last serve.

Funny, for an hour, it felt like 42 minutes.

I shuffled onwards with Riley in a desperate struggle before she swerves around my legs and makes the goal, 13-12, while I stumbled and fell onto my feet. I wanted to complain at her sheer clutch, but they were all laughing with her so I held my tongue for the moment. Riley skated over to me and offered her hand, I refused and struggled my way back onto my feet. "Go take a hike, Ri. I can help myself up."

"Take a hike... That's a great Idea!" smiled Bonnie, this obviously meant bad times to follow. "We can hike our way to find Doctor Dre and his weilder out in the wild, I hear that it's aiming for a strange sea creature!"

I panicked and half-heartedly agreed with that sentiment in an attempt to hide my imminent teleportation from the woman "Y-Yeah! We could go out and go adventuring for Bonnie then come back for Supper, your folks okayed supper, right?"

Mrs DeMayo looked to her smartphone and saw the text messages from their parents, "Yes, I got their instantaneous messages."

Chuckling as I heard her disconnect from modern culture, I hid away behind a tree and looked into my watch to see what time it was from my perspective.

The clock read 2:22pm as opposed to 3:14pm.

Chapter B2

Yikes! I'm not only traveling across two different spaces, I'm traveling through time, too! But how is that even possible, the only way to do that barring temporal mirages like the Book of Prophecies would be to ditch your body and become a heartless so that you can't muck up the timeline and yet, there I was jumping between different spaces at different times.

I looked up to find Masako, Xeh and Boo in these strange monster outfits alongside a pair of real monsters. From Least convincing to most convincing, We have Xeh in a bright red spandex suit and a T-Rex tail and head. Masako's outfit was a bit better with a furry cat suit with Bunny ears, makeup and vampire teeth. A pair of purple velociraptor legs held aloft a yellow-scaled belly attached to light purple spandex suit, tentacle sleeves, and an elaborate helmet with small horns and for hair: a stringy old mop.

Standing right by them were two real monsters, one was a small one-eyed spherical green thing while the other was a big, beastly mofo on par with another beast we bore witness to in the Prius incident. One had blue and purple fur all over his body while the other had no fur to speak of. The Small one had a top hat and a ring on one of his talons while the big guy had a collar and tie combo not unlike the beard and moustache combo I envision myself having as a Keyblade Master.

"Uh.. I come in peace..." I wanted to break out my Keyblade, but seeing as how both guys are apparently with Boo attaching the tail to her costume, I could understand to an extent that these were her friends, so I kept my key hidden for now.

The Green one merely facepalmed at this and sighed to himself "Ah, geez. This is gonna be a long one. You're Eraqus, right?"

"Well, seeing how I'm the only human who's not in a costume, you kinda got that right." I looked to the Monster and saw that he had my outfit all ready. "That suit's homemade?"

"She made it herself in case she brought company." The cyclops then plopped the clothes onto my knee. "Better put it on, kid, don't want no dang dirty humans on our planet, now, do we."

I went to fetch my costume and it was a yellow lizard suit with gold-colored foil talons so already, I'm a step above Xeh's costume. I took a photo of my costume with a view of a nearby clock. I glanced to the clock and saw that the world was at 2:12pm while I was at 2:34pm. I had to drop a call over to the X13s, see how they think of my visit to the monster world.

-chatroom-

"Are you even listening to me?!" The Cyclops knocked my phone out of my hands and I realized what I just did with one look into his eye. I could have listened to what he was talking about such as the few disappearances of monsters on the Laugh Floor where they harvest Pheilz radiation or something, but instead... I was wasting my time asking a few online friends not to disrupt the timeline.

I'll take multi-dimensional mistakes for 200.

• Eraqus looks at Xeh's costume and laughs his ass off.

Chapter A3

...Only for me to get tazered in the ribcage by some woman with blue hair, an equally blue outfit laced with yellow and fully developed feminine features. "Will you kids quit it!"

"Erek!" Bonnie rushed to my aid and struggled to get me back up while the others were freaking out.

"Okay, I don't wanna go on this hike anymore." uttered a frightened Jordan, clearly a full normie as I've gotten to know him.

"What the nuts, Dory? You said you could lead us to the Sea Monster!" Riley's distress was what reached a bit of the lady's brain cells, her expression changed from utter rage to a blind joy.

"Oh, I know a sea monster! This way, It went this way, follow me!" Yen Sid pulled the woman back and berated her for getting everyone lost, her reaction. "oh, no..."

"Hold on, I've heard of this..." Yen-Sid frowned as he walked over to the woman and pulled her in my direction. "Eraqus, this is Dory: A woman with selective amnesia who will unfortunately be our guide."

I was dumbfounded by the twist. "You're kidding, right."

"Nope, Nuthin' on m'noggin!" smiled Dory as she began to wander off a little bit. "So where we headed, kids?"

I was left with no choice but to put up. Thanks Bonnie! "Well, we were gonna look for a sea creature or something because somebody-"

"I know where that is!" Dory was jumping up and down like a freaking chiuawa! "This way, It went this way, follow me!"

Her legs were a little longer which made it far harder for kids like us to catch up, yet we had to catch something on our little trip so, onwards to wherever she went for better or for most likely worse.

It did not really take too long for her to get lost. We were wandering in the woods for thirteen minutes, putting me at 2:52pm. I glanced at Yen-Sid's watch and saw it was 4:04pm, over an hour ahead. I wanted to weasel my way out of this as quickly as possible, so I asked a little question for Bonnie to effectively put to a vote.

"Maybe Eraqus is the sea monster?" a wave of 'No's dashed my chance at stopping this trip in its tracks. All they got out of this was a good look at my costume and the outfit isn't all that good to be honest.

"Guys, aren't you paying attention to my costume!?" I howled at them.

"That was the problem, we did!" Jordan's words caused every drop of laughter they've held back following the tazer thing to just gush on out like that. I've never been so humiliated in all my life.

As we all kept on marching towards a Sea Creature that will probably turn out to be a literal crocodile, I began to notice a strange spider jumping from tree to tree, it seemed mechanical in nature like the mechs that tend to spy on us whenever we find ourselves snooping around the many facilities the Master Players have established.

My eyes darted to and fro to find any other Agency tech this forest's been hit with. I first got Bonnie's attention, then Jordan, and Yen-Sid. We all saw a few drones floating about with these red spotlight bee designs. As if they were... Naw, couldn't be, Nobunaga's toast, the Rozens wouldn't even dare to bounce back from that!

Would they?

A flatscreen panel displayed a sort of opening gate, a circle of swirling grays over a black and white backgrounds were about to release a looming figure.

"You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge."

Chapter B3

I brandished my Keyblade to see Boo, Xeh and Masako tippy-towing their way across a hallway, Mike and Sulley waving their arms in an effort to say 'no' without speaking a world. One not to their leader and then I saw why: there was a monster with a gigantic lobster claw for a left hand, A Spider's thorax legs and all, and one eye like Wazowski. It appeared to be an older monster walking to someplace important. My eyes darted to the clock on the wall: 3:30pm, compared to my clock's 2:59pm, pft. least I'm catching up.

"You've got 42 seconds, explain yourself!" Snarled the new monster as everyone else tried to keep him from approaching.

"This is Eraqus, Xeh's wingmonster." Masako stated, leaving me raising my eyebrow at the word "Wingmonster?"

"Yeah, he always has Xeh's back when there's something in store for him and his crew..." Masako was forcing all the proverbial bullets of sweat inside of her pours in an effort to keep her makeup from washing out. "Is that word out of style? Tell me I'm not out of style."

"Nah, I wouldn't know what monster kids say today. Haven't known for a pretty long while being a grumpy old man and all..." The bigger cyclops chuckled at her possibly dated slang, "Any friend of my Son in Law is a friend of mine!"

"Hold on, You're getting hitched?" the smaller Cyclops merely smiled as I asked him the question.

"I am almost due for my honeymoon, yes." Smirked Wazowski.

"Congrats, man." I half-heartedly chimed, not attached to him in the slightest. "I honestly feel lucky for you."

"Yeah, yeah, yuk it up!" Wazowski was strutting along with "We've got a mystery to solve so come on!"

We made are way through a wide array of monsters. Some big and small, some feathered and furred, a lot more diverse than the humans we've got back home. We were wearing costumes to hide ourselves from the monsters, so we had to do some more convincing if we were to get them off our back.

"It's all ice, we're on the downlow." I smirked to the Monsters as I passed one or two of them.

"Arn't I just so... lanky and pathetic..." Masako figured that bigger was better in Monstropolis, so being a group small and spry critters wouldn't make much of an impact.

"But we are still growing, yep!" Boo chimed in conjunction, pointing out what's obviously bound to occur within these years. "Just a bunch of newly metamorphised pupas going through an brief afternoon on the town!"

We've been getting these odd stares from our Monster 'brethren', mainly from Xeh's costume. So I silently told him to act natural and his response?

"I'm a Dinosaur." Xeh couldn't think of a better response.

"You call THAT acting natural? As if." Whoa, got a whole unME moment there for a second there like Video Games becoming Pachinko Machines or MTV airing music videos.

Regardless, we made our way through the town and I'll admit, in broad daylight, these monsters look almost as, if not even cooler than the ones from Ebott. It wasn't until we were led into a dark alley that the fear of monsters started to come crawling back to me.

Suddenly, I was the timid little twerp who was afraid of the dark in the first grade instead of the champion of justice who single-handedly took down the infamous Rozen Writer's Guild (alongside Xeh and Yen-Sid, of course!) I wanted to see the monsters that were slowly stepping forward into the light to greet the clawed cyclops. And yet I was scared to even stay.

"I have the darkness, Player Two."

Chapter A4

My mind wandered back to the day I met Riley, SOLDIER Troops armed to the teeth with modular armor systems, a frightening future world collapsing into pure creative energy flowing into the core of a nonexistent storm. All thanks to a mandated planned by the notorious Master Players. I feared for a Monster, what I got was a tyrant and his disciple.

I wasted no time in charging in blindly at them to strike down the Master Players with my golden chainwhip attack. And my eyes wasted no time in reminding me that the chapter was up and I was back in the forest with the Normies. However, Normie isn't really how I would describe Riley at the moment. See, she had just activated her Flickerdrive console and achieved the form of a masked knight.

Long story short, she found this gizmo at our intended drop-off point, it bonded to her DNA and now she can don the currently bright yellow armor of a Knight like you'd see in a japanese toku flick. It appeared to be Master Form judging by the wheel shaped shoulderpads and the lightly armored boots that have found their way into my gut upon her kind pulling my chain.

Riley was naturally freaking out at this, which gave her foe the opening she needed to knock her into a tree. The foe had a body comparable to a kickboxer or ninja, clad in a sort of purple bodysuit and facemask. It looked like someone you wouldn't wanna mess with.

"Erek Davis, Right? Pft, what a crock..." The foe's voice was distorted, as if through a sort of synthesizer microphone in the mask. "The master said I'd be able to find a valued piece of bait for the Master Players."

"Hey-Hey-Hey! Hold up! Hold up! You're using me as live bait for the Master Players?" I got the compressed scythe from my satchel, I've glanced to Riley who was struggling back onto her feet. "There's a phrase for a scheme like that, one that I heard on the world wide web..."

"Really, And what is that?" I knew that the suit enhanced her senses to an adequately refined peak, and I needed to check the time to see if this was gonna work. I eyed her digital clock, 4:07pm. My mind raced back to when Bonnie texted Riley, 3:54pm. Once I put two and two together, I knew exactly what I should do.

"Easy is his name and the boy's coming:" I chucked the scythe at Riley who acrobatically decompressed the Scythe into its truest form, heavy metal, twin blades, and a cassette player installed by her dad by the request of his loving daughter's sister in spirit.

"STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON! Here's a Brother that'll smother yo mothah! Make your sister think I love her!" The explicit lyrics of the song was blaring from the Scythe as the Retcon Drones sent after her were cut to scrap. Twirling the rod like she wasn't even breaking a sweat, It was pretty clear that it wasn't really Riley in control, but the suit!

Riley charged against the masked foe, who then countered with its claws. Slices and Slashes clashing together, it was a sight to behold to the tune of the most influential rap group of the 80s. "This is the Autobiography of the E!" Now the song was winding down, She kicked the foe away to get some distance between her before she deals the finishing blow. But the Purple Agent engaged every gadget it had left intact, generating a barrier to seal Jordan and Bonnie out of our reach!

Naturally, we couldn't have an Agent like this bozo try its hand at the divide and conquer tactic that they've tried time and time again, so I charge in at the Agent and booted the mask off of the Agent to reveal a mop of wavy golden-blonde hair and blue eyes wrapped around a fabric facemask. The face was sharp and womanly yet cold and arrogant. Yeah, this fella's definately a chick.

She grabbed me by the wrists and flips me into the ground as she got back onto solid ground to continue slashing away at her prey. Riley kept it coming which, knowing how much more developed the agent's body was compared to her heavily padded bodysuit, was easier said than done. "Just quit it, okay! I'm only a hired hand here!"

"Save it, I won't listen to an Ad Agent like you after what you did!" Riley was making her stance on the matter clear as day, I could sense that there was a tone of sheer fury from the destruction of the Future-World. "Seeing your ads doing the job they're invented for can do that to a girl. You'd understand, right?"

"No! I'm not with the Agency! I ain't an Agent of their psudoscience, kid!" The Masked Agent was raising her hands in surrender, as if to tell us that she wasn't one of them. "I'm not here to put an end to any of ya so just cool your jets."

"Stand down, this young lady's got 'Dre'." Yen-Sid refered to the clawed glove on her right hand. I wanted to go at the Agent since I didn't really trust her at all, and I still don't! The feeling was mutual as she knocked me into the ground and firmly planted my Keyblade into the ground much to Yen-Sid's irritation. "Please forgive my friend, he's a bit of a firecracker, this one."

"HEY, WHO YOU CALLING A FIRECRACKER!" I yelled to the older boy.

Yen-Sid merely shrugged. "So you must be the weilder of the technomorphic gauntlet we've titled Doctor Dre."

"Naming it after a big-name DJ, huh? I like that, has a nice ring to it." A smirk as flashed in our direction from the Agent.

Yen-Sid blushed at the woman's advances, but he still maintained his composure after he let out a slight cough. "It was actually our friend Bonnie, who came up with the name after a trip to Wikipedia, miss..."

"Call me Molly." The woman had this air of confidence surrounding her as she explained her roots. "See, it all started with a field trip to the Modern Art Museum of Compton where we were gonna see a musician perform a special song to dedicate the new exibit featuring those three gigaweapons made from the Carcasses of dead writers called Scribes."

"Wait, You can make stuff out of dead Writers?!" I piped, shocked to know that there are ways to recycle those leeches! "There's something I gotta see."

"Wait till ya see the place where they churn them out." Molly continued as she sat onto the ground. "They also make Computers, Mecha, even the most humanlike Adforms out of this one breed of writer when its served its purpose and shuffled into the recycling, refining and manufacturing capitol of the planet Taoko: Crystal Compton."

"...Least they didn't call it 'Space Compton'." I snarked.

Chapter B4

It took no time at all for me to be teleported in front of the clawed cyclops who was having his own Ad troubles, thanks in no small part to Player Two slowly draining his energy. Muscles slowly tightening and contracting as his voice was garbled by his lungs rotting away. When Player Two dropped the Cyclops, he exploded into a puff of dust upon meeting the ground.

Everyone was rightfully scared, but there was clearly no room to grieve right now due to a quarter of a complete set of Master Players so... we bolted. Although, I did overhear 'Engage the Genocide in thirteen chapters', never a good sign when you have to consult the book for details.

With no hesitation, I pulled up my Book and turned to the page that was currently being written. I saw the top of the page: Chapter Twelve and it clicked that they were using the chapters of the book to measure the time that they have. I was instantly reminded of what I needed to do.

"Xeh, what time is it?" I asked my friend.

"3:57," Xeh sported a confused look. "Why do you ask?"

"I need your phone to text somebody important!" Xeh naturally obliged and tossed his phone to me as I began the chat that got me here. Knowing the writer, it'll probably work.

-Chatroom-

We hid in a nearby dumpster as the Master Players started closing in on our energy. Xeh knew not to panic and tried his best to conseal our trail of energy.

Chapter A5

...And the next chapter whisked me off to the Woods, right on cue. I cut the lesser ads to ribbons as Agent 47 and Advert 66 stood among them all.

"Took ya long enough!" I sneered at the masked agent, his tranquil fury resonating through the world around him.

"I'm amazed you were'nt there to see my entrance." The Agent held Dory at gunpoint, the woman struggling to escape as Riley merely stood there.

"Well, We've made a mistake letting you live to destroy a world. Not doing it again!" I raised my keyblade to the Agent as I glanced to Riley. "Go ahead and shotlock this shlock!"

"I-I can't! It's the suit!" Riley was still, yet her emotions were panicked. "I can't control it, I can't even move on my own with this thing on!"

"Directive D23, Do not attack an Agent unless engaged by a certified signal, Usually a catchphrase." 47 smirked underneath his helmet.

"What kind of catchphrase do you got?!" Riley yelled.

"Trying to get me to say it, huh?" I could sense a grimace crossing his face. "Spoilers."

Riley somehow got unstuck from that one word and charged forth with all of her might! Agent 47 braced for impact and used his knives to deflect the slashes of Riley's scythe. "No! I never specified that I had a catchphrase!"

"Well, you never specified what kill code you wanted when you became an agent." Spoke a voice on an intercom, obviously an overseeing force in the operation. Not a master player, but pretty high up. "So I quoted some sci-fi show Linka flipped to once or twice."

"Are you serious!?" Roared the Agent at the intercom, somersaulting away from Riley as she skated towards him with Easy in his hands. "You planted a sci-fi catchphrase as my personal kill code?!"

"Hey, it still works!" the voice barked back. "You tell em your plan and if they ask about motives, you just say the word and we have our action piece!"

"Look, I get it. You found a pretty marketable catchphrase from a show that's already marketed the blasted thing to Shell and back," As 47 ranted and raved with the voice, he began to fight back with his subzero claws and flaming hurricane kicks. "But what good is that gonna do If I don't say it that often?"

"Well, excuse me. Because unlike agents like you, I have a life beyond the show," asserted the voice "including a girlfriend I picked up this intern job for."

47 was clearly enraged and rapidly kicked Riley in the gut out of anger before flip kicking her into a treetop. "You were recommended to the runners by your Uncle Thomas as thanks for helping his son defeat Albert in an act of Nepotism!"

"Well, when your cousin's a Super Fighting Robot, there's bound to be ways to cash in." The voice smugly said, a chuckle popping from his throat. "Like, for example, a raise for my proud efforts on this fine little show."

"FOR AN INTERN LIKE YOU!! Lok- No, Mister Li- Erm..." He seemed to be irritated at the mess that was happening, all whist Riley was helping herself back onto her feet. She compressed her Scythe into a spear and lunged forth, only to be suspended in the air. "BROADCAST INTERN 867-5309, YOU GO AND WALK ME THROUGH A WORK-AROUND SCRIPT THIS INSTANT!"

"Alright, I'll find a script, Improv's working as fast as they can!"

Chapter B5

I looked around and saw the roofs of Monstropolis. It actually worked! It was getting pretty hectic back with 47 to be honest, and thinking about the master players below makes it all the more lucky for me that I popped up here of all places. The Roof of a far-off building seems like a place where I'd be cornered, but in the very least, I could cool my jets a little.

I dug into my bag and picked up a book I brought from the Library. It was an omnibus, a collection of stories from a single world. And it seemed to have this image of a boy and a girl leaping forward. The boy had a messy mop of chocolate brown hair and a pauper's garb, the girl's firey red locks complimented her blue overalls. Behind them were a wide assortment of characters, one with leafy green dreadlocks, another with a white ponytail, one that was big and burly, another who nice and small, one with a cunning face and one with a generous charisma.

But they merely lined the bigger panel behind the children, one which featured a man in a tight red jacket and a woman in a flowing black jacket under a white shirt. Both were very well toned in muscle, like they were out of a superhero comic. And both resembled older, more finely seasoned versions of the children.

"Oz: The Kingdom of Hearts by Wataru Kaizuni, published by Saturday Shounenfinity" I began to open the book as the others rushed onto the terrace. My eyes darted to see Xeh, Boo, Mike and Masako. Out of breath from fleeing the adforms as Sulley barricaded the doors shut. "Whoa! These guys are on our tail already!?"

"Well, we've managed to warn as many monsters as we could so we have, eh... minimal casualties." Mike was clearly stressing the 'minimal' I glanced at the Monsters below and saw that they were fighting back! Sure, there were about a few piles of dust here and there, but they were making an effort to fight em off.

"Well, they're doing alright, maybe we should wait a little," I rested my arm on the rails. "We've got a pair of keyslingers that aren't going anywhere."

"Yeah, Right." Masako naturally didn't believe I was sticking around, and knowing the book, her beliefs aren't really wrong. "How long til the next poof point?"

"Probably when the chapter wraps up once the Master Players barge in like they inevitably will." Boo glanced at the doorway, noting the frail nature of the Barricade Sulley made. "welp, We've talked about Clarence on the way to that ill-fated alleyway, why not talk about your life?"

"Well, my master never let me read anything like this as it would distract from my studies." I scratched my head in an awkward silence. "Then again, neither would the service and to be frank with you... I've never seen anything like this."

"It's Manga, don't tell me you haven't heard of it!" I shook my head to Boo, frowning in confusion. "No? Can't say I'm shocked, you completely passed by Bandai's booth at Comic-Con without even a side-glance. Even Casuals give a glance!"

"We have no desire for such brain diluting nonsense." Sighed Xeh, his apathy towards the local normie culture earning him an elbow to the gut. "But I am obligated to humor your notions."

"So this is one of those long-running shonen strips, right?" Boo leaned close to grab the book from my hands and look into it. "One where the kid heroes grow up throughout its arcs?"

Well, putting it altogether, I wouldn't be all that wrong in assuming as such with the two main heroes on the cover appearing as both kids and adults. "Yeah, I definitely think so."

"It's Oz! That's literally the oldest and most obscure part of the Kingdom Hearts brand!" Boo flipped across the pages to find specific parts of it. "It laid down the basics of the Keyblade and the Heart with a wide array of characters that never got overseas til 2010, the thirtieth anniversary!"

"Why didn't this catch on?" I asked to Boo, making her hand over her phone with an expression of regret.

-Chatroom-

I heard banging on the door. The Master Players have probably arrived with a few alien agents in tow as I heard a shout in an alien language. They seemed desperate to break through the wooden barricade, as I heard a few of them complain in their language. Player Two's voice scowled a few explitives before commanding to his armada: "Get the Citrine troops ready, we want a warp pad set up on the other side cause these clods aren't able to get us there on foot..."

My heart sank, Citrine troops? How is that possible when we've got Emissaries from their race, one of them being a Citrine herself? This can't be true, but It was as I spotted three bright yellow streaks coming closer at breakneck speed with occasional jumps onto rooftops to get some higher ground, even running atop walls until a final leap put them right in front of us so we could catch a glimpse at how unique our Citrine was.

Each one had their core gem on a different part of their body, even donning different uniforms, but their body types were the exact same 6'6 athletic figure.

3.1

My Name is Bonnie and My sister's being a real krej!

I mean, she's not really my sister, just my cousin. But I kinda see her as my sister because she's so cool with me, Her Imaginary Friend Bing Bong, playing around the house, she was so cool, even as I watched her grow up on the ice! But she changed when she made the move to my hometown.

She because more quiet, a little high strung at times. But she's more mature, wiser than I ever could be right now. She's like a new version of my sister, one that wants to keep me safe for better and in this case: for worse.

"No means no, Bonnie!" Complained Riley, pulled away from her desk, from that thing I wanna take a look at. "These things take time, time we might not have with the Master Players hot on our tail."

"What do you know about alien technology, I don't even have a clue about this stuff!" Riley looked exhausted and worn, like she was not getting much sleep from building these odd boots with hollowed metal soles. "Noel's keeping me up just to build this junk!"

"Why don't we sleep over at my place tomorrow, that way the Writer w-" I realized what I was talking about and remembered what Eraqus dealt with under a week ago. See, Writers are a form of this race of cosmic parasites called Adforms that puppeteer its hosts and every aspect of their lives from their friends to their dreams all the way up to their narrative flow: making the host flip from one place to another and back again in the case of Eraqus... despite Riley being the host instead.

"I understand what you're trying to do, I want to try the sleepover too. But the fact is Noel wants me to keep at these designs!" She pulled her third notebook and flipped through the pages to reveal designs for all sorts of gadget and gizmos, plenty of them looked familiar as if I've seen 'em before. "I want to be normal, but Noel won't let me escape this desk. It's always wake up, go to school, make inventions, no breaks!"

Inventions? Like with Cornelius Robinson?! He invented like mad through triumph and defeat and he worked hard to make the world a better place. Maybe that's why the Master Players sent an agent to kill him, they're scared of us humans catching up to their level. "Please tell me you're close to finishing an invention or two."

"Oh, Sis." Her face showed a warm sisterly love that I've hardly seen since the day we snuck out and attempted to return the... you know what. "...If only it were that simple"

"Okay, I hate to break up the tender moment between cousins..." The familiar glow of Citrine brought words that reminded me of the truth, sliding into the door as she stepped towards me and grabbed my arm. "But you've got a home to go back to and a mother who wants you back at Elm Street!"

"Ugh... Fine." I said before looking to Riley to say goodbye. Sure, we're just cousins but the bond has been strong even before she moved to San Francisco. We've played together at family gatherings, we've talked together on the internet, we've even started learning together at the same school! "See you tomorrow..."

"Later days." Smiled Riley as she resumed her attention to inventing what I think are hoverboots. I made my way to the front door, weary of what was happening to my sister with what we've seen with the Agency.

And as I stepped into the car, I reminisced on the day we met her internet friends at a Comic Convention in real life. It was just going to be a fun little meeting of like-minded kids, but then she found a belt with a gaming console on the front.

Chapter 1

My name is Masako. And I hate destiny.

Destiny, you see, has been kind of a jerk these past few weeks. It has a way of twisting your world around just when it's where you like it. Or at least, when it's where you can live with it. I don't know if the universe does this for everyone, but it certainly does it to me.

For example: The Prius Incident comes to mind. But to keep this chapter under eighteen paragraphs, I'm going to say that it invloves the blue fairy and a shmuck named Edd. That's all the hints you're getting out of me, The only thing left to say here is: NEVER AGAIN!

Another example is this fine mess the Writer's probably imprinting as we speak. See, despite it being August 16th on Riley's homeworld, It is November 17th on the planet Couresant where we find ourselves celebrating this thing called 'Life Day' that originally came from Wookie culture but spread across the galaxy as time went on. And this extravigant festival I find myself participating in with my friends, that's how these monks called Jedi celebrate it.

So here I was, holding up the pink cloth with Xehanort holding the Yellow, Yen-Sid the white and Eraqus has the blue with the brown being lifted by a Jedi Master we've met earlier. And the cloths were naturally attached to the back of a flowing kimono adorned by none other than Riley Andersen.

I suppose you're wondering who this Riley kid is, well, It's kind of a long story. See, Riley is from earth, But has spent a little over a month in their little clique following their little trip to deliver an alien device to Robinson Industries.

My name is Jordan and I don't know what makes sense anymore.

I used to think Riley was a pretty cool kid for a girl, I used to think that her Internet friends were normal kids like me, I used to think that we were alone out there, y'know.

Man, was I dead wrong or what.

I freaked when I saw the college chick with the purple claw that controlled all these drones, My jaw dropped when I saw an alien creature demorph from the other chick from the library, I was writhing in fear at what Fourty Feasts serve up, I was startled by Mr Lucas revealing himself to be a literal Jedi, I'm now dreading the looming end of the world, I wanted to vomit when I saw this Cancer eat Player Three, But I felt nothing when I saw him re-emerge from a plush mushroom.

Chapter 1

My Name is Riley... and I don't have a home anymore.

For you see, my home was eaten away from the inside out, its core replaced with a battle station capable of maintaining the planet's status quo... to an extent. Poisonous spores, child-eating bugs, celebrity meat puppets, all leading the human race to be fully consumed by the ultimate stone: Kingdom Hearts...

I don't understand! It was supposed to be just a video game! just a game... I wanted to be normal...

Why is that so hard for me to do nowadays...

I guess I should start at the beginning. See, it all started with a Video Game series dating as far back as the late eighties. Its two main heroes had a light-and-dark duo motif and fought a guild of evil robot manufacturers that want to mow down every Disney-themed world they come across. It lasted three games and spawned two sequel subseries, each having its own set of characters with a supporting role for those original heroes in the elder of the two subseries's. (Is that how you say it? I dunno.)

But then came Birth by Sleep, and it all went crashing down.

Convoluted storylines, contrived character origins, time shenanigans, you'd think it'd be easy to have the three series join together. It felt like a natural stepping stone for the franchise's thirtieth anniversary after the lackluster thirteenth anniversaries of each of the three lines that make up the series as a whole. But it turns out that the fourth wall had other plans, like stuffing the original duo and their brainy friend in my real world.

I should have seen the warning signs when I pulled the Scythe from the statue's chest, The Edelsteki emissaries, the chatroom therapy, the webcam messages with Alex, all leading me to that fateful comic-con when a couple of Video Game dweebs came to drag me kicking and screaming through all sorts of disasters like the complete obliteration of an entire world, to humans that somehow evolved from fish almost overnight to space marines known for a series incidents in Hawaii to an alchemist who might as well be some sort of witch to a talent scout who made us all into superheroes without asking to a cult of acrobatic space monks dolling me up into a vessel for some goddess to my home planet being eaten from the inside out to create a Death Star almost two decades out from the actual one to the complete decimation of the constellation my universe was apparent parked inside of.

And that's where I am now.

I had morphed a peacock-tailed falcon flying away from Player One with Eraqus. He came up with the idea to confuse Player One by using the same morph as it was me he wanted, and I could never be prouder of the man he became. Before he'd just follow his heart and wing it on the battlefield, now he acts to comprimise his goals with ours and play his part. To see that despite my mucking about with the timeline, he still became the world reknowned Keyblade Master from the days of Terra, Ven and Madoka.

After I began to demorph following my awakening in the Land of Departure.

We did it, Reddit

Well, I'll admit to seeing some of that Nomura Troll-faggotry in the guy. But since we're talking about none other than Tippetarius of the original Oz: the Kingdom of Hearts manga that most of Kingdom Hearts' Mythos is built around, you could easily figure out that these are all typical "Tip" moves you'd expect out of him in the later arcs. Such as keeping Luxu's nose out of the Book of Prophecies he's writing, or tearing out a page of his core manuscript to give out to Gula, or stringing along his newly-deputized Commander In Chief Ira with the looming war, Ava gathering children to flee the world Tip's flawed tactics have ultimately doomed to an extent, Aced being told to merely watch over Ira even through a goosechase for a Traitor who doesn't exist, et cetera.

But keep in mind that this is Tip we're talking about. Those who have read the Manga from Nara Dreamland's cut-rate Shonen Mag Mugenfinity wached him and Co-Main Protagonist Dorothy Gale grow throughout the seven years and thirteen books into the Dynamic Duo that's... oddly incomplete in X... Meh, probably saving her for III, I dunno. Reading up on the Manga, you can see his progression into the man you see before you. Starting out, his friendly interactions with Dorothy in the first two arcs show them as just two young children going on adventures with the friends that they meet in this strange new world. But when he manifests the X-blade at the tail end of the Land of Oz adaptation, he begins to dive into the same trappings as Mambi before him, learning whatever new magics that catch his eye, risking the safety of the world for the sake of new spells, even playing these coy mind games with Dorothy more and more as they mature into (usually) responsible adults.

Think about it, when the search for Ozma came into play, Tip could hardly lift the X-Blade was stated to be the transformed body of the fairy princess of the Emerald City. Now he has no problem swinging that around with one arm tied behind his back, and his sharp mind has made him quite the troll to his homies as he matured while Dorothy became the more level-headed counterpart to the sharp-minded but hot-blooded native of Oz. You see him work his way up from Arc to Arc from a timid young apprentice mildly serving his adopted mother, to a runaway child looking for adventure, to a determined adolescent who is trying his hardest not to weigh Dorothy down, to a clever little scoundrel who cleverly offers to teach Dorothy how to fight, to a lanky young lad who finds himself between a cloud fairy and a girl from Oklahoma, to a jealous bloke who doesn't realize the young man is Dorothy's cousin, to a master tactician who saves the now deeply defined world of Oz while rocking a familiar red jacket.

To sum up, Tip is pretty much Goku with a brain and It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Tip skeedadled on his friends to fetch himself some new mad skillz, bro.
