The midday sun shined through the room's curtains as Kairi sighed. She was alone for the moment it was peaceful that way as of late. Last she heard Elsa had followed Axel as he went outside to blow off some steam. The ball of light had been here only companion as of late. She watched as the orb excitedly floated around her floated to her hands.

"Oh I see you've been reunited."

She jumped turning at the voice finding Maleficent standing over her. She wore a blank expression as she watched the orb. Carefully she tapped her staff on the orb and it glowed red. In a moment the orb changed into a translucent form of Sora perch on her lab. Stepping back into the darkness Maleficent grinned at her.

"What is this Maleficent?!" Kairi yelled as Sora changed back

"All I could find ,his strong heart" Maleficent whispered

Clutching the orb for dear life she shook in disbelief. She literally held Sora's heart in her hands. Carefully she hugged it to her chest and closed her eyes tight. With a jolt she stood breathing hard her hands twitching. With a flick of her wrists a keyblade appeared in each hand. In her dominant hand was her blade while her other hand held The Kingdom Key.

"This isn't for keeps just for a little while." Sora stated in her mind

"That's fair I'm just happy to hear your voice again." She replied

Slowly Maleficent slipped back into the darkness leaving her be. So far things were running smoothly as far she was concerned. As long as those rebellious boys don't get involved they should be able to take the win from her little accident. The time had come for her to make up for her mistakes.


Axel took a long deep breath before pitching a large fireball in the darkness. It traveled a fair distance before poofing from existing. At the sound of someone's arrival he turned finding Elsa joining him. The two sat in the moonlit night perched on the castle wall overlooking a dark forest. Silently she formed a throwing star from ice giving it a perfect toss.

"I take it you still don't have any plans on our escape?" She asked taking his hand

"I have one but it's a last resort." He whispered squeezing her hand

"Perhaps someone will come for us." She replied squeezing his hand

All they had now was hope someone would come for them. He couldn't risk taking them through the portals. As of this moment he has yet to need to even consider that option. His only trouble was he had no way of reaching someone for help. It wasn't like he couldn't do this himself it couldn't be that hard could it?

Slowly she moved leaning against his arm resting her head on his shoulder. Raising his arm he pulled her closer and she moved her head to his chest. She could feel this man melting his way onto her heart with every touch. To be fair she wasn't giving him much resistance in that department.

With a blur of movement something moved in the tress below. For a split second they saw it paused before continuing to rus. It was making a beeline for the castle faster than a normal human should be able to move. With a bound they were on the wall shifting to a stroll. Silver hair was illuminated by the moonlight as the moved a short katana being drawn in a flash.

"Your highness if you don't mind I think it's time you went inside." Axel whispered moving Elsa behind himself

Instantly she understood and fled to the door leading inside. When he heard the door close Axel summoned his keyblade. The invader looked surprised before swinging his blade their blades clashing. With a shove Axel was knocked on his back the invader pouncing on him. Before the invader could land the finishing blow a large purple fire ball launched him away.

Rolling to his feet Axel watched as a purple cloaked figure fled around the corner. As she rounded the corner she stumbled falling onto the stone. At the sound of clicking on stone she forced herself to sit on the cold ground. Looking in the direction of the sound she discovered Maleficent slowly approaching her. The dark queen wore a puzzled expression as she stepped closer to her

"Its been awhile hasn't it?" Maleficent asked

"Over a decade since we've seen each other mother." The cloaked figure whispered

As Maleficent approached the figure jumped back their hood falling down. At the sight of her daughter's face Maleficent could only freeze. She was pale with royal purple hair with hints of dark blue. Her eyes were that of a dragon with a mystic emerald glow. She had dark circles under her eyes her eyes from exhaustion. She wore a sapphire earring in each ear the gem cut in a star shape.

"You need the wizard's help mother." She said leaping from the wall

As Maleficent rushed to catch her she saw only the flash of a closing portal. With a sigh she told herself she would follow her request. She would not enjoy it but she would regardless. If she could muster the courage perhaps Ansem could offer some decent thoughts on this situation as well. She doubted they would need hi is help but it couldn't hurt to consider it.
