Here's the new chapter wrtten up by Lanydx Reborn XD (just posting it for him is all).
Chapter 25: Into the rabbit hole. (Part 4 of The Epic Mickey Arc.)
As Sora and Van were fighting each other in the portal. The two landed into what looked like a jungle. Full of trees, a beach, a sea of thinner. Even a few ruined pirate ships. Sora landing on a palm tree. He quickly used it, by swinging around it, he flew into Van's face with a swift kick. Van landed on some sand.
"So you do have some bark to you new Ven." Van muttered.
"My name's Sora. Not Ven!" Sora yelled.
"Whatever. You'll still do." Van muttered, while firing an energy blast.
Sora dodged it. Van quickly appeared right next to him.
"I must admit your parlor tricks are amusing." Van sang while punching Sora in the face.
Van dropped his Keyblade, stretched out both his arms.
"Now here's your chance to get the best of me. Hope your hand is hot! Come on clown, let's see what ya got!" He taunted Sora.
Sora with his keyblade in hand tried to attack him, but every strike was blocked by Van hand.
"You try to slam me with your hardest stuff, but your double whammy isn't to snuff. I'll set the record straight, your only second rate!" Van said as he kicked Sora in the stomach.
Sora shot out a few Firgas but Van quickly deflected it.
"Your cat's a meanie, but your tigers tame. You got a lot to learn about the Keyblade game! So for your education, I'll retaliate. Your only second rate!" Van sang as he blasted him with darkness.
Sora ran into the trees for better cover.
Van walked around like it was a stroll in the park.
"Men cower at the power, my pinkie." He muttered as he blasted Sora's cover with a blast from his pinkie.
Sora just looked at his double with shock.
"There's no way this guy is for real." Sora thought as ran out of the trees.
"But if your not convinced that I'm invincible put me to the test." Van whispered in Sora's ear.
Sora slashed at Van with his blade as he jumped onto a ruined ship.
"Ven, I'd love to lay this rivalry to rest!" The Dark Sora yelled.
Sora made his Keyrider, chasing him to the ship. He jumped off it, changing his keyblade into his chainsaw form. He slashed at him, only to have his attack cut off my pure darkness.
"Go ahead, and zap me with the surprise. Put me in a trap. Cut me down to size." Van mocked him.
Sora tried to cut in deeper, but his Keyblade vanished. Van punched in the gut hard, grabbed him by his shirt collar.
"To you I'll make this straight. You and Ven, are only second rate!" Van yelled as he blasted Sora into a dark portal.
"AAAAHHH!" Sora yelled in pain as his body was being beaten around by the darkness. His clothes were ripped to sherds. He started to drift to sleep. On his stomach a small circle started to glow.
!
"Boy, you will not end like him. you must live." Muttered an ominous voice.
In a flash of red light, Sora vanished from the dark realm, and back to the Wasteland. As for where……
Mickey, Gus pushed themselves out of the movie projector. Mickey saw Xion, and Namine's hands. He grabbed a hold of them, and pulled the dazed girls out.
"I did warn them about the effects right?" The head Gremlin asked.
"Yes, but you didn't tell us what would happen! I feel sick." Xion yelled as she came to.
"Where are we anyway?" Mickey asked as they walked down a corridor.
"Your Highness, young witch and Keyblade wielder. Allow me to show you Gremlin Village….Oh No!" Gus said in horror.
Mickey, Xion, and Namine looked at a small, wooden village set on green fire. They ran to put it out. Mickey and Xion used Blizzard and water on most of the flames and Namine used the thinner to erase the fires without ruining the houses. Mickey quickly saved a few gremlins from falling into a small hole of Thinner. Namine painted over it to cover it up. Xion had casted Cure on the more injured ones.
"Where do I know that green fire?" She thought.
Xion looked around for more gremlins she heard keyblade swings nearby a cave. Xion dashed to it. She saw a wall of green flames, with two people in it. She could hear voices.
"Show yourself Maleficent, your going to answer to those poor people you hurt. Also you going to tell me what you did to my friends! " Kairi yelled.
From what Xion could see the witch appeared out of the same green flames, with her tiny raven on her shoulder.
"The Mistress of all evil answers to no one child!" She muttered.
Her bird flew at Kairi. She summoned her Keyblade and whacked the raven into a wall.
"My, my, what an ill tempered brat you have become princess. Didn't your parents raise you better? Oh course I speak of your true parents." Maleficent said, seeing it strike a nerve in Kairi's heart.
"What did you do to Sora, Xion, Namine, Riku, and the The King?" She yelled as she charged at the witch.
Maleficent tapped her staff to send out a shock wave knocking her down.
"I did nothing girl. They where the ones who left you. They only saw you as a burden, and went off without you. Even the clone is a better Keyblade wielder then you." She lied.
"That's not true!" Kairi yelled.
"Oh isn't it princess? This isn't the first time you've been abandoned, for your uselessness." The Witch muttered.
" I AM NOT USELESS!" She screamed as she shot every magic spell she knew at the witch.
Xion had been busy hitting at the wall of flames trying to help he fire.
Maleficent had blocked every one of Kairi's spells.
"My my, is this the best you can do? I'm surprised That Aqua girl hasn't given up on you." She asked.
The witch blasted her with lightning, stunning her. Kairi dropped her keyblade. Maleficent came to her and whispered something in her ear. Seeing the damage she vanished with a wicked smile on her face.
Xion finally broke the flames and to find Kairi sitting down hugging her knees.
"Kairi, are you okay?" asked Xion, crouching down next to her feeling concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine, let's go Xion" mumble Kairi, letting Xion pull her up by her hands.
"What happen in their?" asked Xion, but Kairi didn't answer her.
"Okay, let's go find Namine and King Mickey" said Xion, biting her lip knowing Kairi was acting rather strange.
"Lets go this way" whisper Kairi, pointing to a sign that said Mean St.
"Alright, but first you wait here in case Namine or The King show up" said Xion, taking off before Kairi could protest.
Kairi slowly walked forward, blinded by tears and sat down beneath the sign.
"Kairi! Xion!" called out Namine, looking for the both of them.
"Over there!" said Mickey, having spotted Kairi beneath a sign.
"Good, we finally found you! Kairi where's Xion?" asked Namine, feeling concerned at the lack of response.
"Kairi?" said Namine, crouching down before her, unable to see her face.
"Maleficent was here" said King Mickey, recognizing the familiar green fire.
Namine extended her hand and moved Kairi's hair aside to see tears falling down her cheeks.
"Kairi!? What's wrong?" asked Namine, thinking the worst.
"Maleficent, said I was useless and I would bring everyone down with me" said Kairi, sobbing.
"That Aqua only trained me because she pity me and wanted to think that I could actually help" said Kairi, wrapping her arms around herself as she sobbed.
"You know that's not true!" said Namine, reaching out to hug her but Kairi wouldn't let her.
"No, Maleficent is right. From the very beginning I caused trouble for both Sora and Riku" said Kairi, meeting Namine eyes.
"I did nothing to help. I didn't even put up a fight" said Kairi, disgusted with herself.
"Your right, everything Maleficent said was true" said Namine, standing back up and watching new tears welled up in Kairi's eyes.
"Namine!" said King Mickey.
"Thats it? You really mean that?" asked Kairi, getting up slowly in shock.
Namine raised her hand and slapped Kairi across the face.
"I can't believe you! You actually thought I meant everything I said?!" yelled Namine, looking very angry and upset.
"Kairi, Maleficent was lying to you! You mean everything to us!" said Namine, pulling Kairi in for a hug.
"Maleficent is good at deceiving people and playing with their hearts" said King Mickey.
"Even Riku was deceived by her, but Sora was there to stop her lies from hurting him" said Namine.
"Aqua wouldn't have trained you, if she didn't believe you couldn't wield the keyblade and become a master" said King Mickey, grabbing hold of Kairi's hand.
"Sora and Riku are counting on you to help them, and pull them through this" said Namine, watching Kairi smile despite the tears going down her face.
"You really mean that?" asked Kairi, looking at the both of them.
"Yes, were all counting on you!" said King Mickey.
"Now let's go find everyone!" said Namine, pulling her along down Mean St.
Sora landed on the ground with a thud, his armor disappearing in their place was new clothes.
"That hurt" said Sora, dazed and in pain.
Sora slowly stood up, clutching his head and looking around to see if anyone was here.
Taking a step forward Sora was hit with dizziness that he stumble forward.
"Maybe I should wait here, until my head stops spinning" said Sora, groaning in pain.
"Sora?! King Mickey? Namine?!" someone called out nearby.
"Over here!" yelled Sora, watching someone peer around the corner a keyblade in their hand.
"Big brother! I was so worried!" said Xion, racing over to him.
"Xion, wait don't-! Ow! That hurts!" complained Sora, feeling Xion hug him in relief then letting go instantly to see what was wrong.
"Your hurt!" said Xion, using her keyblade and casted Cura on him.
"Vanitas was a lot stronger then I anticipated" said Sora, feeling better now.
"I don't think any of us our strong enough to fight him on our own except for Aqua" said Sora, summoning his keyblade.
"Big Bro shouldn't fight alone" said Xion, with a serious look on her face.
"We should fight together" said Sora, grinning.
"Lets go find the others" said Xion, just as heartless and blots appeared.
"They'll have to wait awhile longer" said Sora, using strike raid on a number of heartless.
"What is all that commotion out there?!" yelled Pete, standing outside of an old jail house.
Sora came into view fighting off heartless with Xion at his side.
"Its you! The one who got me in trouble with Maleficent!" said Pete, charging over there.
"Sora on your right!" called out Xion, watching Sora move out of the way, just in time to see Pete charging right at him.
"I won't let you get away this time" said Pete, throwing a bunch of explosive balls at them.
Sora jumped over the mini ones, then with a mighty swing he sent a huge one flying right back at Pete.
Pete stumble backwards giving Sora a chance to strike at him.
Sora used Aero making Pete spin around really fast, while Xion shot out firaga at him.
Then together they sent out a chain of attacks at Pete, causing heavy damage.
"Sora! Xion!" called out Kairi, racing towards them with Namine and King Mickey in tow.
"Pete, what are you doing here? Are you working for Maleficent again?" asked King Mickey.
"Well look what we have here, good old Mickey finally shows up" said Pete, retreating slowly.
"What are you and Maleficent planning?!" asked Xion, her keyblade raised as if to strike.
"Were just trying to take over the worlds like always and causing more trouble for the Keyblade bearer" said Pete.
"But now I must go since Maleficent's waiting for me. So here's a goodbye present for all of you!" said Pete, throwing another explosive ball their way and disappearing.
"Wait! Get back here!" shouted Sora, striking at the huge ball only for it to explode in smoke.
"He got away" said King Mickey, coughing from the smoke.
"He's gone!" cried out multiple voices inside the jail house, having heard the commotion outside.
"Now's our chance to escape!" said another one.
"Sounds like there's kids inside their" said Namine, opening the door and walking in to see cells with bunnies inside.
"Is it daddy?" said Lucky, the rabbit.
Mickey let out a gasp then said "These are Oswalds kids!".
"Help me get these open, will ya Sora?" said King Mickey, breaking the first cells lock.
"Of course" said Sora, opening each cell.
"FREEDOM!" shouted Xion.
"RUN AND BE FREE!" said Sora, watching them run out of their cells.
The bunny children see their Uncle Mickey and shout "UNCLE MICKEY!" in delight.
"AAAHHH!" went Mickey being tackle down by all of the children at once.
"Its really you! Were so happy to see you Uncle Mickey!" said all of the bunny children, hugging him.
"All shucks" said King Mickey, looking down at all of them and patting each of the bunny children on the head.
"Thank you for saving us, were finally free!" said all of the bunny children.
"You poor kids" said Xion, picking one of them up.
"Daddy hasn't come to visit us in a while, don't know where momma is either" said Floyd.
"Thats because Daddy is being influenced by the Phantom Blot" said Lucky, hugging Xion's coat.
"Good thing Uncle Mickey is here to save us" said Lucky, with admiration in his voice.
"Don't worry we'll make sure you get home safe and sound, right guys?" said King Mickey.
"Right, but is there any place you guys can go until it's safe?" asked Kairi.
"Lucky wants to come with you! Floyd can stay here an watch brothers and sisters while we find mom and dad" said Lucky.
"Sounds like a good enough plan" said Sora, knowing it's not really safe anywhere in the wasteland right now.
"If you guys see any signs of trouble run okay?" said Kairi, watching Floyd puff up his chest trying to look brave.
"Good, we leave you in charge of them Floyd" said Namine, patting him on the head.
"You listen to your brother while were gone" order Xion, looking each of them in the eye.
"We promise, Queen Xion of the Bunny Children" they answered.
"When did you get so popular?" asked Kairi.
Oswald was on his way back when he spotted Mickey with one of his sons and went raving mad with jealousy.
"Little brother is gonna find out what it's like being a prisoner in the wasteland!" went Oswald stomping his foot.
"Yes, his heart. Little brothers heart will be mine!" said Oswald, disappearing.
Somewhere else in the Wasteland..
"Are you sure were going the right way?" asked Riku, for the fifth time.
"Yes, this time I'm positive!" said Molly Mushroom, leading the way.
"Please don't let this be another dead end" groaned Riku, having gone in circles a number of times already.
"Riku, do try to lighten up. Your ruining the mood" said Ansem SoD.
"Look this isn't the time to be making kiss-y faces at your girlfriend!" said Riku, frustratedly.
"What was that?" asked Molly Mushroom.
"Nothing, just want to get out of here already!" said Riku.
"Is my Ansem making kiss-y faces at me? Aw that's so sweet!" said Molly Mushroom.
"Alright that's it. I can't take it anymore!" said Riku, storming off only to be yanked back by Ansem SoD.
"Nope, you'll get lost all by yourself" said Ansem SoD.
Riku faceplamed himself then said "I've been lost for over an hour already!".
"Thats why you should stick with us, it won't be long now till were finally there" said Ansem SoD.
"You ignored everything I just said, didn't you!?" shouted Riku, knowing these two weren't going to get him anywhere.
"Its just my luck to end up with you two" said Riku, sourly.

A/N (wasn't sure if it's kiss-y or kissy so if anyone knows which or the correct way to spell it let me know).
