"Chronicles of the Wing-Jewel-Key-to-All-Souls"
In the abyss of a cold lab, in the deepest basement of The World that Never Was, something was sleeping, suspended in a column luminous green fluid, with tubes connected to a glowing computer screen. A puzzled Vexen glanced at his creation briefly between furious scribbling at a clipboard. The door of the lab opened, as Number Six of the Organization, Zexion entered, pausing to check the screen and the figure.
"Is this a new Dusk, or an experiment of a different sort?" Zexion examined the strange figure, with a semi-human appearance. But the Cloaked Schemer knew better.
"The Dusks found it outside the Castle, waving a Keyblade like a lunatic. " Vexen didn't look up from his notes. "Unfortunately it took around thirty to apprehend it, but I'm running several tests. This…thing emanates dark and light energy. Does it have a distinct scent?" He asked with a sneer.
"You're kidding…" Zexion said simply. "Not another one of those…"
Suddenly the glass cracked as the figure opened her sapphire-blue eyes. Liquid oozed out, and then the column gave away completely. A beam of pure light shot out as the figure flew away on three pure white wings, leaving a trail of bright pink light and crashing through the basement's ceiling. Both Nobodies were speechless. After a few moments, Vexen spoke.
"I'll get the Dusks started on repairing the ceiling." Turning, Vexen strode out of the lab, leaving a puzzled Zexion to examine the meter-thick glass that the girl had broken through like cardboard.

"Now remember, we're just stopping at Hollow Bastion for a few supplies and gummi blocks for the ship." Donald explained. "We've got to get going tomorrow, so don't waste any time."
"Me an' Goofy can get potions and the blocks! I think Merlin mentioned wanting to see you last time we were here!" Sora smiled, as the friends set off in different directions. Quickly the Keyblade Wielder bought the potions they needed, when suddenly something landed in front of him with a trail of pink light.
It is here that a certain typing pretzel would like to notify the reader that this description is all too familiar. Any reader that wishes to do so may replace the following description with road kill dressed in a ball gown doing the hula, as the description isn't ever really that important.
The first peculiar thing that Sora had noticed about this girl sitting on the corner was her stunning purple hair. It was streaked with red, and was flowing, blown by the breeze. Strange, though. Hollow Bastion wasn't particularly windy that day, argued Sora's common sense. Her hair was set neatly in place by a gold tiara with a sapphire in the center, that matched her eyes, endless pools of aquaness, leaking tears that bore the appearance of purest lapis lazuli, and her eyes could change colors , red when angry, green when jealous, and yellow when constipated.. She was dressed in a deep purple Chinese shirt of finest silk , and wore an amethyst pendant that looked like a heart with a silver dragon curled around it and a bell attached to a leather collar. She had a dark black skirt with a silver dragon embroidered on it that was flying to the moon and having a tea ceremony. She wore black boots that fit tightly, and decorated with chains. Attached to her back were wings, pure white as snow and like an angel's wings, feathery and soft and 2-ply. Also attached to her head were two orange ears, soft and pointy like a cat's. She also had a cat's tail the color of tangerines, providing balance and poise. Strapped to her designer belt was a samurai sword, made of polished steel and with a star ruby on the pommel. In her hand was a Keyblade, hot pink loaded with pink hearts made of precious stones with wings on the hilt to match her own, the keychain splitting off to a replica of her necklace and the paopu fruit, matching the chain on Sora's Oathkeeper.
Sora, who was standing about ten feet away, couldn't see the girl very well, but walked a bit closer to see what she was crying about. Sadly he had no idea that his downfall was imminent. He spoke the clichéd and doomed words, the last words of his own free will.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
She turned, eyes pouring out tears that were caught promptly by aspiring jewelers as they fell to the ground. "Well, sir. I don't really know. I was just sitting by the side of the street, reminiscing about my childhood-that-never-was, when…I got captured by these mean mean people in black coats…" She burst into tears again.
Sora's base instincts started to pull him away metaphorically, screaming at him to get away. But the Keyblade Master's kind heart couldn't let the poor innocent girl suffer, and besides... She did look very attractive, and it wasn't like he had ever had a crush on anyone that wasn't hinted at continuously. Elsewhere on Destiny Islands, Kairi felt a sense of immense impending doom, but ignored it.
"Aw, it can't be that bad. What's your name?" He sat down next to her with a look of sympathy.
"Well, "she began, placing her Keyblade on the sidewalk, "My name is Sushineko Hikari Potter Annabelle Jones, and I've been lost from my world. At the age of one month my parents both lost their lives in a tragic golf-cart accident. Since then I crawled, then walked the streets of Twilight Town, lost and cold, sleeping without even a mint under my pillow. Children at school hated me because I had no parents, and didn't let me sit with them at lunch." She sniffled, more tears dropping from her eyes as one jeweler punched another in the eye to get the particularly large sapphire. "At age seven the Keyblade called to me as I was begging outside the clock tower, telling me that I was destined to find the Keyblade Master. Since then I have been traveling the Worlds on my wings, but I ended up being captured by the notorious Organization XIII and forced into their laboratory, where who knows what was going to be done to me. But I escaped their horrible lab, and finally found you here in Hollow Bastion." She ran her fingers through her long purple-and-red hair.
After hearing this, the normally-strong heart of the Keyblade master melted into a metaphorical puddle of goop, causing his brain and Nobody to complain very loudly. Sadly, Sora ignored this, stood up, and took Sushineko's hands. "You're in good hands now, Sushineko. I promise that I'll protect you with my life, swearing on my good luck charm." He held up Kairi's charm to her. Her tears slowed, and then became a sniffle. "Thank you, Sora." Sushineko stood. "You don't know how much that means to me…SO YOU GET A BIG KAWAII HUG!" Sushineko's eyes turned to yellow, the color of meringue pie as she Super-Tackle-Cling-Glomped Sora, making the charm fly out of his hand, and it shattered on the ground.
"Oh well." Sora shrugs. "I never really liked that thing anyways."
Three worlds away, Kairi suddenly angrily stabbed through a brick wall with a pencil. "Whoa…" Selphie exclaimed, glancing over her homework.
"That's weird. Wonder why I did that?" Kairi shrugged, pulling the pencil from the brick and continuing to work.
Meanwhile, Sora began to acquaint the lovely Sushineko Jones with his friends.
"It's very nice to meet you," Goofy shook her hand with his usual big smile. "Any friend of Sora's is a friend of ours!" The magician, however, wasn't as trusting as the knight, and stood much farther away from her, scowling. However, Donald's suspicions didn't have time to be tested, as a cluster of Heartless appeared near the cliff that they all conveniently stood near.
"Oh, I can totally handle this!" Sushineko perked, and took out her samurai sword and Keyblade, the Wing-Jewel-Key-to-All-Souls, in a mighty flourish. Unfortunately, the force knocked the Heartless, and coincidentally Donald and Goofy, off the cliff, resonating in a small 'Splat' on the rocks below.
"I am, like, SOOOOO SORRY." The girl frowned, peering over the cliff. In pink sparks, Donald's wand and Goofy's Shield floated out of the ravine, and into her empty hands. The Wing-Jewel-Key-to-All-Souls strapped itself onto her back. "Weird, your friend's weapons are letting me take over, cool!" Sushineko grinned. "I guess I'm sticking with you from now on!" She took the wand and shield, both turning pink and white in her hands.
"Hooray!" Cheered Sora as the two left for the Gummi ship.

"And if that girl is controlling Sora," Vexen explained, "then the Organization's plans will completely go to waste, won't they?" Marluxia nodded. "Surely there's something that we can do to 'intervene?' If Sora's mind and heart is rotted from that girl's effects, then he's of no use to us." The Chilly Academic finished.
"Larxene," Marluxia turned to the Savage Nymph, idly twirling a knife between her fingers. "You and I will have to meet this…thing and have a little 'chat' with her on getting in the ways of the plans of the Organization."
With that, numbers twelve and eleven teleported out of the room, leaving Vexen laughing evilly, Axel trying to steal muffins from the break room next door, and Demyx running in complaining that someone had replaced his sitar with a banjo.
