"I do hope you're not wasting my time, Xehanort." The evil witch snarled into the empty room. Maleficent scanned the room. Her dark ally was nowhere to be seen. Maleficent growled and tightened her grip on her staff. She looked to a corner as a portal of darkness opened there. Out of the portal emerged a man in a long black cloak.
"You're late." Maleficent snapped. Xehanort chuckled and lifted his hood, revealing his dark skin and horrible yellow eyes, seething with darkness.
"My dear Maleficent, I believe you are early. As you know, I am nothing if not punctual." He said. Maleficent waved her hand to dismiss the matter.
"To the point at hand. Our plans for domination." Maleficent said. Xehanort smiled evilly. He snapped his fingers as twelve shadow Heartless appeared at his feet.
"This is all that we'll need, m'lady." Xehanort grinned. Maleficent's facial expression hardened. She blinked twice.
"With all due respect, Xehanort, I hardly believe that twelve shadows will be able to conquer all of the worlds." She said. Xehanort chuckled.
"Oh, I had a feeling you would doubt me. Tell me…" Xehanort reached into his pocket and pulled something out. "Do you recognize this?" The item was attached to a chain. It was a golden sphere, with two smaller spheres on either side of it. It vaguely resembled a head. A mouse's head…
"The chain from the Keyblade… but how?" Maleficent said. Xehanort put the chain back in his pocket. He smiled.
"As you may recall, I recently had an encounter with the Keyblade wielders. With that foolish king using his "Star Seeker" Keyblade, I was able to grab the chain to the Keyblade of darkness."
"An impressive feat, I'll admit." Maleficent said with a frown. "But how will it be any use to us in this situation?"
Xehanort snapped his fingers and a large black cauldron appeared in front of him. He dropped the key chain in the boiling cauldron, causing a bright yellow light to emit from it. He then pointed to the cauldron and all of the shadow Heartless climbed in without hesitation. This caused a pool of darkness to surround the cauldron, mixing with the bright light.
The cauldron began to bubble as the light and the dark started to circle around one another, until they were finally intertwined in a tornado of light and dark. The cauldron exploded and debris flew everywhere.
Maleficent stuck her hand out in front of her and created a shield of green fire to block the debris. When the dust cleared, Maleficent bellowed in rage.
"ARE YOU MAD?! YOU ALMOST GOT ME KILLED!" she screeched. Her anger subsided when she saw what had emerged from within the cauldron. An exact replica of Sora, the Keyblade wielding brat that had caused her so much misery over the years. This Sora, however, was the same color of a shadow heartless. With glowing yellow eyes and a Keyblade made of darkness.
Standing next to it was a Heartless version of Riku, the boy who had once been her ally but betrayed her. Then there was Kairi, one of the seven princesses of heart who somehow gained a Keyblade through her journey. There was also Mickey, the ruler of Disney Castle and the greatest Keyblade master of all time. There was Roxas, Sora's nobody who could also wield a Keyblade. Master Yen Sid, a Keyblade master and King Mickey's mentor. Next to them stood three teenagers who seemed familiar to her.
Then it hit her: these were the three children that had interfered with her plans twelve years ago: Terra, Aqua, and Ventus. There was also Lea, the formerly known as Axel. He had gained his own Keyblade after becoming whole again. There was Xion, an imperfect copy of Sora. Master Eraquas, a former Keyblade master who had turned to the dark side.
"With the power of the Keyblade, I have created heartless versions of every Keyblade wielder that ever lived. Now… do you still think I'm mad?" Xehanort asked. Maleficent laughed evilly.
"Yes. Mad enough to come up with the ultimate plan." Maleficent said. "Well done, Xehanort."
