Sorcerer's Kiss
Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts does not belong to me, and ideas from this story kinda came from Final Fantasy VIII and X however most of them are subtle really shouldn't matter to the story, just character development.
Notes: I don't think I'll use many of the Disney characters, mostly because I want this to realistic, Maleficent the princesses, and some characters from the princesses' worlds will show up though, and they might be the only Disney characters.
Prelude
Maleficent stood next to the window watching the ruined city of Hollow Bastion. It had been a grand city many centuries ago, but now it was just a ruin, one of many that littered the multiverse. She let a sigh escape her lips and walked down the hallways of the ruined castle.
"Milady."
Maleficent stopped and looked round at the man who addressed her, Kuja. "Hello Kuja," she said softly, "Can I help you?"
The man shook his head, his silvery mane of hair sparkling in the rising sun's light. "No, I was wondering if-" but Maleficent cut him off.
"I do not know, nor dose it concern me." She turned to leave when Kuja spoke up again.
"If I may ask Milady why did you invite her to join us?"
Maleficent closed her eyes, "Ultimecia will prove most useful to our cause."
"If you say so Milady." With that Kuja left.
Maleficent continued her walk until she came to the balcony of the highest tower. Here she spread her arms wide and let out a single note that caused the birds that nested in the ruins to take flight. Crows, all of them were crows, the birds of death.
"Maleficent? Why did you choose that name?" a voice from her past asked.
"Because it paints the picture they want to see," she found herself saying.
She then tapped the edge of the balcony and a rip in the fabric of time and space appeared. She stepped through and walked in on a banquet. Many nobles were there, dressed in their best. King Stephen and his Queen both stood at her entrance. This was the sort of thing she did when she felt destiny was working, and now she could feel it's clogs turning.
"What do you want?" Merriweather asked. The blue fairy and the other fairies gathered around the baby's crib as if to protect the infant.
"I heard of the celebration," Maleficent said stroking a crow that had followed her through the space-time rip she created. "And I was surprised that I hadn't received an invitation."
"You weren't wanted."
Maleficent smiled at her. "I was hoping that there was some other reason, like I was overlooked, or my invitation got lost. But if that is the case, then I should be on my way." She turned to leave but a surge of power caught her attention.
"Lady Sorceress," Queen Lillian, "Are you not offended? If you are I assure you that we had no intention of doing so. We had thought that you wouldn't care for such events."
Maleficent nodded slightly, "Tell me, what is your daughter's name?"
"It is Aurora milady."
Maleficent walked towards the child, again she felt power coming from the infant. The power of light, pure, undiluted power was coming from the child, "A fitting name." She smiled, "Well, I will be leaving now. Congratulations on having a child."
And she ripped the fabric of space and time and walked back to Hollow Bastion.
"She's up to something."
"Merriweather, it's not nice to talk about people behind their backs."
Flora shook her head, "Merriweather's right. She is planning something. I thought she was going to curse the poor dear but she left without a fuss, other than scaring the nobles' children and the faint of heart."
"She didn't mean to do that. It's just her style, like we have our really neat color thing Maleficent like her big rips in the fabric of time of space."
"Fauna, I sometimes I wonder if you're insane," Merriweather said under her breath.
Flora sighed, "But what is she planning?"
"Probably something about the princess," Merriweather added creating a biscuit with her wand, "And that strange power source we felt, I'm sure she felt it too."
Fauna sipped her tea, "But why would Maleficent want Aurora? I mean I'm sure Maleficent can take care of the child if she really wanted to, but I don't think she has the patience to take care of children."
Flora's head snapped up, "Do you think that the power came from Aurora?"
Merriweather narrowed her eyes, "What makes you say that?"
"Remember when Maleficent asked what her name was and she said Aurora fit?" the other two fairies nodded. "We only felt the power, but couldn't trace it, Maleficent could probably trace it because light is directly opposed to her so she naturally has the ability to track it to its source."
"And the fact she commands so much power, not just dark magic, I'm sure she could find its source easily." Merriweather shook her head, "But we're not certain if it is the princess, it could be she got distracted by so much light magic she either wanted to go make sure it wasn't out to get her or make it join her. It could have been a Sorcerer or Sorceress, not all of them have the power of dark magic."
"Maleficent also has holy powers," Fauna said causing the other two to stare. "She's a Sorceress, so she mastered all forms of magic; dark, holy, elemental, astral, healing, protective, enhancing, and enfeebling. That's the definition of a Sorceress/Sorcerer anyways, she must have mastered it, but she might not use it."
Silence fell over the three of them. "In any case," Flora began, "We need to do something to make sure she doesn't come after Aurora."
Zidane yawned as he and Maleficent searched through the many tomes of knowledge that Hollow Bastion held. "What are we looking for again?"
"Anything relating to a child being born with tremendous holy magic," the Sorceress said without looking up from the book she was going through.
"Where's Lulu? She better at this stuff than I am."
Maleficent sighed and placed the book back on the shelf and got the next book out.
"Here's something," Zidane called his tail began to swish happily, "By some old goat named Hojo."
"Hojo?" Maleficent walked over to Zidane and looked over his shoulder. On the page before them were seven crests each of them had the outline of a woman and each had a different symbol behind her, one had sun, another tree, then a star, a heart, a rose, a spiral and moon. They were arranged in a circle with the one with the heart behind her at the top. "Maidens of Heart," she paused, "This must be it. Zidane I want you to go to Stephen's palace, pretend to royalty or something. Just keep an eye on Aurora and keep her alive."
"What about my tail? Kuja can hide his, I can't."
"Tell them it's a curse from a Sorceress, they will believe you."
"Alright fine. Anything else?"
"That is all."
Lulu, Ultimecia, and Kuja were waiting in the Grand Hall as Maleficent entered.
"What did you find?" Lulu asked the older Sorceress.
"In the multiverse there seven Maidens of Heart who are born with the powerful holy magic," she began, "They are to be forever kept apart for if they come together the balance of power will tip to light and the Chaos will enter the multiverse."
"So what do you want us to do?"
"We don't know if everything about the Maidens is true," Maleficent said, "We need to find out as much information as possible."
Ultimecia smiled, "You want us to go and gather information."
"Yes."
"We'll be on our way then."
Maleficent watched them go as the voice from the past returned, "What do you have to live for now, now that everything you had is gone?"
"I will bring it back and rule it." Maleficent smiled, "And those who hurt me will know my pain before I send them to hell."
I'm not sure where this is going, but while I was writing the first chapter I was watching Sleeping Beauty and I wanted to get behind Malefi's character and find out what makes her tick. She is the best Disney villain after all. As for Zidane working for Malefi, well, I can't explain it right now 'cause it would give away some of the plot.
