Duck's Story

Duck is drifting in the Darkness and then he wake up

Duck: Where am I...

?????: Stay asleep.

Duck: Who said that?

?????: You should remain asleep. Here, between light and dark.

Duck: Between... what? (Gasp) Bugs! Tech! Rev! Slam! Where are they!? Together we closed the door to. After that-

?????: You came drifting here by yourself. You did not have the strength to overcome the darkness. Or... maybe you were close to it.

Duck: Oh, really? As if I'm some kind of demon.

??????: Hmph. Turn from the light. Shut your eyes. Here, blanket by the darkness, sleep is safety. Sleep is eternal. But...

A Card has appeared

Duck: What is it?

?????: It's is a door to the truth. Take it and your sleep ends, as you take the first step towards the truth. But know this the truth will bring you pain. Will you still go? There is no returning to the security of sleep.

He grab the Card

Duck: This place is so lame to take a nap anyway.

?????: That was very well said, Duck.

Then the Card is Glowing and he got teleported in Castle Oblivion

Duck: A Door to the Truth, hmm.

He use the card and the door has opened and he's in Hollow Bastion

Duck: This place is Hollow Bastion!

?????: What you see is not real. It's the wood of your memory.

Duck: What? My memory?

?????: The things you remember from your time a Black Doom's castle became a Card, and that card made this world. You've seen everything here before, haven't you?

Duck: I guess... So what now? Am I going to learn something? Maybe meet people?

?????: You would meet the people in your memories. Ordinarily.

Duck: What are you talking about?

Then the Voice is gone

Duck: Hello! I'm not done talking to you! Okay. But it has better be you I run across next, Voice.

He went off and he's the room

Duck: Boy. Everything IS just how I remember it. Even this room...

?????: It must be nice being back in your old bedroom. Think of all the memories...

Duck: You, again? Listen, buddy. But these memories I could do without. Black Doom gave me this room.

?????: So he did. And you lived here, tempted by the darkness he offered. You cast away your home, your friends, everything... but at least they gave you a nice room.

Duck: Stop it!

He ran off and he's in a Hallway

Duck: No one's here, too? There's nothing but Heartless inside the castle. Voice! I know you're watching me- so explain this! Where all the People from my Memories?

????: Do you want to see them?

Duck: Of course I am!

????: But you cast them aside.

Duck: Huh?

?????: You dreamt of the outside world, and you passed through the door to darkness. Behind you, you left your family, friends, home- everything- all in pursuit of darkness.

Duck: But I case that aside, too!

??????: And what do you have to show for it? First your home, then the dark. Your heart only knows how to cast away. It's empty- like that room. Like your memories. That's why you don't meet anyone. Your heart is hollow- except for the residual darkness.

Duck: You're crazy! I rejected the darkness!

?????: Ha ha ha... Did you really, now?

He left the Hallway and he meet Black Doom

Black Doom: I knew you would return, Duck.

Duck: Black Doom? You're alive!?

Black Doom: You haven't noticed. I am a figment from your memory.

Duck: Of all the people I could run into, it had to be you.

Black Doom: Of course. After all, your heart is steeped in darkness. You cwn only see those who exist in that same darkness..

Duck: No...

Black Doom: Be grateful you have someone to keep you company. Your heart is empty. We're it not for the darkness it contains, you would be completely alone.

Duck: That's sounding pretty good right about now.

Black Doom: Come on. You once turned to me to sate your hunger for darkness. You want me here. Who but I am grant you the darkness you long for?

Duck: There was a time I did want you around. I surrendered my heart to the dark. But not again. You and your darkness have nothing to offer. All I did was lose myself... Empty myself. I'm finished with all that. If I'm stuck seeing people like you, people of the dark... I'll take you down one by one!

Black Doom: Then you mustn't forget to destroy yourself last. For, like me, you are one of the dark.

Duck: That's fine by me. I turned to darkness because my heart is weak. I hate being weak. It's like I'm my own enemy. And seeing people like you embrace the darkness just makes it worse! I have enough of your Chit-chat, Black Doom!

Black Doom: So you hate the Darkness enough to fight it. Oh, the agony you must feel! Then let me end your pain, Duck- end it forever... with the wondrous power of darkness!

He's going to fight and he defeated him

After that he left the Hollow Bastion and he's in Castle Oblivion

?????: Why do you shun the darkness?

Duck: Come on, now. I know you heard me- every word I said to Black Doom.

?????: Darkness is your weapon. It is time you learned you must accept it.

Duck: What are you talking about?

?????: Stop resisting. Accept the Darkness. You have no choice...

Then it was Mephiles

Mephiles: If you are to serve me again!

Duck: I knew it was you... Mephiles.

Mephiles: Well. You don't seem surprised.

Duck: All you have been saying about is the darkness. I can only assume you wanna pull me back in... so you can play puppet master.

Mephiles: Clever Duck. I knew you'd be the one to most appropriately serve me. And now, surrendered me again-

Duck: No way! Not gonna happen!

He attacked him but the darkness Shield Mephiles and now Duck got hurt

Mephiles: Do you really think that you could do me harm? A weak super hero like you could even defeat Ace- and you had darkness on your side.

Duck: (Panting) Excuse me... for being weak...

Mephiles: You are weak. You need Darkness. Surrender. Bow to darkness. Bow to me.

Duck: I would never do that!

Mephiles: Only the darkness can offer to you all of the strength that you will need.

?????: You're wrong!

He said 4 Light's

Duck: That voice... Bug? And those three, Tech? Rev? Slam?

Bugs: That's right, Doc! Remember, Duck, you're not alone.

Tech: You have us.

Rev: So we can help you.

Slam (Gibberish)

They went into his Heart

Bugs: Listen close. The light'll never give up on you. You'll always find it even in the deepest darkness!

Duck: Okay.

He get up

Duck: I won't lose to darkness. Not ever.

Mephiles: You think those feeble lights can save you from the darkness that I command?

He's fighting him

Mephiles: You shall feel the darkness everywhere!

Duck: Give me all you've got. I'll give it right back!

He defeated him

Duck: What? Is that all you got?

Mephiles: It seem to me that you are intent on resisting the darkness. All right. Then see it to yourself.

He show 4 Cards

Mephiles: This is a Card crafted from your memory. Advance through the world it creates and soon, you will understand... Chasing after light is not the way. It will not give you distance from the darkness. There is no running from the darkness.

Duck: Don't worry. I won't run away from the Darkness. Just give it to me. I'll enter the world in the end, if I haven't given into the darkness... Then I will win.

He throw the card to him and he grab

Mephiles: And, one more thing.

He use his power and now the Darkness is flowing his Duck's Heart

Duck: What was that?!

Mephiles: I simply tempered the darkness that yet remain in your heart.

Duck: You though that I'd rely on darkness?

Mephiles: To use it or not is your choice. I'll be waiting, Duck... for you to sense it and yield to the darkness in your heart!

He disappeared

Meanwhile

A Raccoon is sensing something and then a Gorilla Appeared

????: You don't say Hello to me, Ben?

Then Marty appeared

Marty: What's going on, Milo? I want some answers.

Milo: Nice to see you too, Marty. It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together.

Marty: You're only Number 6! How could you!

Ben: Let it go, Marty. Milo, tell us. What did you detact?

Milo: Visitors. I picked up two scents in the Castle's lowest Basement. One of them was Black Doom-

Marty: Don't be crazy. That Three Eyed Monster is gone. He cannot return from the realm of darkness of his own volition.

Milo: If you could let me finish... the scent belonged no to the real Black Doom but to a very convincing double. But I truly cannot say much beyond that since the double is no more. Our other visitor saw to that.

Ben: And who was it?

Milo: I did not know for sure... But the scent was very similar to that of the Superior.

Marty: And yet, not exactly the same, was it? This truly piques my curiosity.

Milo: Now- what should we do?

Ben: We wait- see what develops.

Back to Duck

Duck: Something smells... strange... what's that scent? It's so familiar... (Gasp) Darkness. It's the smell of darkness. I can't believe this is happening. The darkness even seeped into my feather...

Bugs: Don't worry, Duck.

He saw Four Light

Duck: Bug! Tech! Rev! Slam!

They appeared as an illusion

Duck: You're here. (Gasp) What happened to you guys? I can see... right through you.

Bugs: Strange, right? I can only send a bit of my power to this place with your friends.

Tech: That's why we've got a request for you.

Duck: Request for me?

Rev: Listen, Duck. Just because darkness holds you, don't let go of who you are.

Bugs: You've got to fight the darkness inside you! It won't be easy to do, we know.

Slam: (Gibberish)

Tech: And don't forget. Even in the darkest darkness, there's always a little bit of light.

Duck: Light within Darkness...

Bugs: You and us have seen it. The far, welcoming light inside the door to darkness... The light of Kingdom Hearts- it will show you the way. Please don't give up. Believe in the light. Thats the request of our Heart.

Duck: Okay... I'll do whatever I can.

Tech: Trust us. We'll try to find a way to reach you. We'll get there, we promise.

He gonna shake their Hands, but he went through their hands

Duck: You're an illusion...

Rev: Don't worry. We shook hands in our hearts, remember? We're connected, you and us.

Duck: Guess we are.

They disappeared

Meanwhile

Milo: I have identified the scent. It is Duck.

Marty: Duck? He has been emerged from the realm of darkness?

Milo: His existence- it was once doubled in the darkness.

Marty: I see... That's why you mistook him for the Superior. The dark power given to Duck facilitated his Escape from its realm.

Milo: But I want to know is why he appeared in Castle Oblivion.

Marty: That's really quite simple. His existence resonates with that of another Super Hero.

Milo: Ace is in the Castle?

Marty: He arrived hours ago. John is already using Marina's unique powers to meddle with Ace's Heart.

Milo: Without even bothering to consult us.

Marty: It looks like he desperately wants the Animal Warriors for himself- what a stupid plan, of course. Ace's is not such an interesting existence. The entity that holds true value- is Duck, the hero of Darkness.
