I DO NOT OWN DIGIMON, FINAL FANTASY, OR KINGDOM HEARTS

Chapter 4

"We're about ten minutes away from the new planet. I would suggest that you be ready," came Joe through the intercom.

"Roger," Ken replied.

Ken and Yolie stood on the transporter. A huge beam of light shot from the ground up. TK stared in awe. Yolie and Ken were no longer there as the light faded. TK ran onto the teleporter, he felt slightly disoriented and light headed. Ken and Yolie were waiting for him by a door that was half their size.

"What's going on?" said TK shaking off the disorientation.

"We saw a rabbit run from nowhere and through this door," answered Ken.

"Let's go already!" shouted Yolie half through.

TK was next and then Ken. The next room was a bedroom except there was a stove. The rabbit ran through a door on the other side of the room. The door was to TK knees. All three bent down, and examined the door.

"That rabbit wasn't that small, but how did he?" asked Yolie.

"Yah! That door's way too small," said Ken agreeing with Yolie.

"It's not that the door is too small, but you are simply too big!" came a sleepy voice from the doorknob, "Why don't you try those potions over there?"

TK stood up and looked at the table, and just as the doorknob had said, there were two potions there with labels. One said growth and the other shrink. TK stood there for a second before he grabbed the bottle and took a sip. It tasted just like orange juice freshly squeezed. Slowly, Ken and Yolie got taller and taller. TK looked down. He was really shrinking. Yolie was next, followed by Ken. When they were ready, they headed back to the door, but when they looked it was asleep. Yolie ran to it and began to twist the knob.

"It won't budge!" she yelled as her face was turning bright red.

TK looked over and saw a doorway in front of the bed.

"Hey, look. I wonder if I could press that in so we could get through?" inquired TK, "You guys stay here and I'll check it out."

TK ran back to the table, having to jump on the chair to reach the top. He was barely able to get a single drop from it, but he managed. Once he was normal again, he went to the bed. He tried to pull it but it wouldn't move, but then he pushed it against the wall and it became a photo on the wall.

Through the doorway was a radiant garden with every plant you could imagine. Just through the arch was a courtyard where a trial was taking place. The rabbit ran up some stairs with a bugle in his hands. He played a couple of notes before declaring, "Ladies and Gentlemen, you now sit in the court of the Queen."

"You stand trial for attempted theft of my heart. How do you plea?" shouted the Queen of Hearts.

"Innocent, I haven't done anything wrong!" retorted the defendant.

The Queen was shocked by this comment.

"OFF WITH HER HEAD!" commanded the Queen.

TK ran up to the stand.

"Wait! It wasn't her!" TK said,

"Oh really! Then who did it?" retorted the Queen.

"Ummm…. Give us time to come up with the evidence," TK said indignantly.

"Very well, but if you don't hurry then it's OFF WITH YOUR HEADS!"

TK and the others walked up to the cage that the girl was being locked in.

"Thank you. I don't know what I supposedly did, but… my name's Alice."

"I'm TK, that's Ken, and that's Yolie," TK replied, "We'll talk later, after we get the evidence."

Inside the forest were overgrown blades of grass, mushrooms, and a tree that branched to the end of the forest. They took a few steps in until they saw dancing legs to their right. Slowly a body, a tail, arms, and a head began appear from nowhere.

"Shadows everywhere! One exit leads to evidence and one in this area," said the mysterious cat making Yolie jump into Ken's arms.

"Who are you?" asked TK.

"I am the Chesire Cat," he said.

"Well do you know where some evidence is?" asked Ken gently.

"Yes I do, but I won't tell you," the cat said smiling, "Shadows are everywhere; try each exit. There has to something that can help you."

The cat disappeared again.

"That was weird," said Yolie.

"Can we trust him?" asked Ken.

"I don't see why not, but…" said TK trailing into thought.

They began to walk around only to find an empty forest. There were a couple of weird things, but nothing that good enough, until…. TK began pacing the ground as they sat down for a rest, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a pink box hidden by the grass.

"Hey, what's that? Over there in the grass," inquired TK pointing to the spot.

"Let's check it out," Yolie said readying her staff.

Everything was fine until Ken picked it up and opened it. Inside was a Heartless antenna. Soon after, Heartless began surrounding them. Yellow flouting ones and armored ones that rattle as the move.

"What do we do?" asked TK.

"We fight of course!" answered Ken encouragingly.

Each one, in turn, began attacking except the yellow ones, who stayed behind charging their power. Yolie began zapping everything insight, Ken was ramming things to pieces, and TK who was swinging his blade every which way! A couple seconds after, only two yellow Heartless were left. They began to summon lightning bolts and ramming them while charged with power. TK, finally, got tired of this so he held out his blade as the lightning began to strike him. It reflected and hit the yellow creature stunning him. Ken followed suit making two-stunned Heartless. Finally, Yolie zapped them with blizzard magic and then their hearts flew into the air.

"That was tough!" TK said panting.

"Well you might as well get used to," Yolie said bluntly.

The three walked around before noticing the strange doorways through the branches. Eventually, Ken decided to climb in one. On the other side was the strange room. As they began to fall, TK saw another pink box on a small ledge. He curved his body enough that he was going to land on the ledge. Just as he landed, the mysterious cat reappeared.

"That's it! All the evidence you need!" the cat said, "Here take this."

TK grabbed the gift that read "Boom Bubble", but before he could ask what it was the cat was gone.

TK got down to the others.

"Hey, do you guys know what this is?" TK asked.

"Yeah! That's an ability scroll. Just read it and practice," Ken replied.

TK looked at it again and read it. It read: "concentrate on the air stream then sling your blade." After reading this TK felt a power run through his hand and to his blade. He did a casual slash, but to his surprise, a jet of air, being so strong, shot out in the shape of a visible arc.

"That's cool," TK said amazed, "Well, anyway, let's get back before the queen gets really mad!"
