Ding, dong! Rocco151 is back with the next chapter of Twilight Town's Wielder – let us welcome Olette to her very first world - Wonderland! Hooray!
It seems that this story is getting very popular – I must admit I didn't expect Twilight Town's Wielder to become such an astonishing success. I hope you all keep enjoying Olette's story very much.
Right, let's get started with the first part of Wonderland! I do not own Kingdom Hearts nor its characters – they are owned by Tetsuya Nomura.
Chapter 7 – Welcome to Wonderland!
Olette, Donald and Goofy boarded the Gummi Ship, just as the ship's engineers – Chip and Dale appeared on screen.
"Hey, guys! I see you found the Keyblade Wielder!" Chip said.
"Oh! What cute little chipmunks you are!" Olette said with a sweet smile on her face.
"Thanks, Miss…?" Dale said.
"Olette. Pleasure to meet you…?" Olette said.
"Chip and my brother Dale. We are the engineers of the Gummi Ship." Chip introduced himself along with his brother Dale.
"Good to meet you, Chip and Dale! So where exactly are we going first?" Olette asked them.
"You are all in luck – we found a world that is close to Traverse Town. It's called Wonderland." Dale said.
Olette nodded and said. "Very well. We will head there first and investigate."
"Okay, also – if you need to know anything about the worlds and the Heartless, give us a call." Chip said, as the trio nodded.
"One last thing – should you happen to find any Gummi Piece along the way, give them to us. We can use them to build new ships for you." Dale explained to her.
"Okay, thanks for telling us." Olette said with a smile, as the screen disconnected.
"By the way, Donald and Goofy - thanks for allowing Pluto to come aboard with us." She said, as she looked at Pluto who was sleeping in a basket on the floor next to her.
"Aw, gawrsh… It was nothing Olette. Besides, I think Pluto likes you a lot." Goofy said with a smile.
"I guess he does…" Olette said, as she bent down to pet him on the head.
"Just make sure to keep an eye on him. He is the King's dog after all." Donald told her.
"I understand. So, how long do we have until we get to Wonderland?" Olette asked.
"We'll be there in a couple of minutes. Hang on!" Donald said, as he started the engines.
"Now, then – we travel to different worlds on the gummi ship." Donald explained to her.
"The Heartless ships often give us a hard time." Goofy explained.
"Always be on the lookout during flight." Donald warned her.
"Your journey will be documented until you reach your destination." Goofy told her.
"Seek out the missions each world has to offer!" Donald said.
A few minutes later, after shooting down Heartless ships and avoiding meteor and other unknown junk in space – the trio arrived on a world with a red and pink checkerboard, a small cottage and a tower with a heart-shaped hedge next to it.
The group disembarked and the entered the world that was known as Wonderland. Olette and Goofy were falling very slowly, minus Goofy who was lying on back and enjoying the ride. When they reached the ground, the girl and the duck wizard landed softly on their feet, while the dog landed on the stomach.
They looked around and to their surprise – a white rabbit with pink eyes, a large red nose wearing a red waistcoat and a yellow vest with blue trousers carrying a big pocket watch in his hand ran past them.
"Oh, my fur and whiskers! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" The white rabbit said, as he panted heavily.
"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! I'm here, I should be there." He said, as he scattered away.
"I'm late, I'm late, I'm late! The queen, she'll have my head for sure!" The little rabbit finished speaking and disappeared completely.
"Should we follow him?" Olette asked.
"I guess so." Donald said.
The group followed the rabbit down the hall until they reached a small door. Upon open and entering it, they stepped into a big room with really strange furniture. Olette's eye caught the little rabbit going through a door with a giant knob at the edge of the room. The group walked over to the doorknob and kneeled to take a closer look at it.
"Okay, how exactly did the rabbit get smaller?" Olette asked.
"No, you're simply too big." The doorknob told them. It was alive!?
"It talks!" Donald said, as he jumped.
The doorknob yawned and said. "Must you be so loud? You woke me up."
"Good morning." Goofy said cheerfully.
"Good night! I need a bit more sleep." The doorknob said, as he yawned again and went back to sleep.
"Wait, Mister Doorknob. How can we grow small?" Olette asked.
"Why don't you try the bottle… over there?" The doorknob said, as Olette turned around to see a table and a chair forming out. Two bottles appeared on the top of the table.
"We might have a problem - Even if we do drink from one of the two bottles, we can't open the door due to the knob… sleeping." Olette said.
"That's a pretty good point, Olette." Donald said.
"Should we find another way?" Goofy asked.
Olette took a look around and soon she spotted something that caught her eye. She walked over and pushed the bed in the wall to reveal a secret hole.
"Nice find, Olette!" Donald said with a smile.
"Naturally! I'm thinking… that we should drink from the blue bottle and see if we can grow smaller." Olette suggested.
The group got up on the table and drank from the bottle that Olette suggested to them. Before you know it – they shrunk to the size of mice.
"You were right, Olette! We're super small now!" Goofy said.
"Thanks, but we've got company coming our way!" Olette said, as Heartless appeared. The trio took out their weapons and easily defeated them before entering the secret hole that Olette discovered.
The trio arrived at a small hedge garden that was shaped like a court. In front of their way stood black and red card soldiers who soon lined up in an orderly fashion to alloy Olette, Donald and Goofy to pass. Standing on a defendant's table was a girl with long, thick blonde hair which was tied by a black ribbon. She wore a blue dress with a white pinafore, white stockings and black shoes.
The white rabbit that they saw from before climbed up to a higher stand, took out a trumpet from his pockets and blew it.
"Court is now in session!" The white rabbit said.
"I'm on trial? But why?" The girl asked.
"Her Majesty, the Queen of Hearts, presiding!" The rabbit announced pointing to the woman who was sitting on the top bench of the hedge-shaped courtroom. She had black hair which was tied into a bun by a red ribbon, the clothing she wore were a black and red dress, a golden crown on top of her head and a heart-shaped stick in her hand.
"This girl is the culprit. There is no doubt about it. And the reason is… because, I say so, that's why!" The queen said harshly.
"That is so unfair!" The girl said.
"Well, have you anything to say in your defense?" The queen asked her.
"Of course! I've done absolutely nothing wrong!" The girl said, as she folded her arms.
The rabbit gasped, while the queen glared at her as the little girl continued to speak. "You may be queen, but I'm afraid that doesn't give you the right to be so… so mean!"
The Queen of Hearts, out of pure fury, slammed her fists on the bench and yelled. "Silence! You dare defy me?"
"Hey, guys. We have to help her." Olette said.
"Yeah, but the-" Donald began, but was cut off by Goofy.
"We're outsiders, so wouldn't that be muddling?" Goofy said.
"Meddling!" Donald corrected him.
"Oh, yeah. A-hyuck! And that's against the rules." Goofy said.
"This court finds the defendant…" The queen began, as she raised her fan.
"Guilty as charged!" She said, as the girl looked astonished.
"For the crimes of assault and attempted theft of my heart…" The queen said, as Olette gasped in shock.
"Off with her head!" The queen yelled, as she pointed at the girl. The Card Soldiers gathered around her.
"No! No! Oh, please!" The girl pleaded.
"Stop this!" Olette yelled, as she ran in with Donald and Goofy following her.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere with my court?" The queen asked angrily.
"Please, don't chop off her head! We know who the real culprit is!" Olette said.
"Uh-huh. It's the Heartle-" Goofy began, but covered his mouth very quickly before he revealed too much.
"Anyways, that girl isn't the real culprit." Olette said, as she pointed at the girl that was on the defendant's stand.
"That's nonsense. Have you any proof?" The queen asked, as she leaned on the bench and tapped her finger.
Suddenly, the little girl was taken by the Card Soldiers and imprisoned in a cage next to the bench.
"Bring me evidence of the girl's innocence! Fail, and it's off with all of your heads! Gather as much or little evidence as you please. Report back here once you're ready." The queen explained to them.
Olette walked over to the girl and said. "Don't worry. We'll get you out of here in no time."
"Thank you. But who are you exactly?" The girl asked.
"Olette. Pleasure to meet you." Olette introduced herself to the girl.
"My name is Goofy and that is Donald." Goofy introduced himself and Donald too.
"Pleasure to meet you all. My name is Alice, though I do wish it were under better circumstances. I'm sorry you got mixed up in this nonsense." The girl called Alice apologized to them.
"Not a problem. How did you end here anyway?" Olette asked Alice.
"I have no idea! I can't remember a thing! I'm sorry." Alice said.
"I understand – is there anyone who can help us prove your innocence?" Olette asked.
"Yes, you should talk to the Cheshire Cat in the Lotus Forest. It's just beyond that hole." Alice said, as she pointed at a hole that was very close to a black Card Soldier.
Olette, Donald and Goofy entered the hole and soon wound up in the Lotus Forest. Suddenly, a cat's face appeared out of thin air much to the group's shock, an interesting note about this creature was the grin that was plastered on its' face. Its head bounced around the area until it rested atop a large tree stump. The cat's body appeared, however it stood on its head in a rather comical way. The creature's body was lined with pink and dark purple stripes. It stepped off and placed its head back on its body.
"Who are you?" Donald yelled.
"Who, indeed? Poor Alice. Soon to lose her head, and she's not guilty of a thing!" The cat with the grin said.
"Do you know who the culprit is by any chance?" Olette asked.
"The Cheshire Cat has all the answers – but doesn't always tell. The answer, the culprit, the cat all lie in darkness." The Cheshire Cat told them and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Mister Cat! Don't leave!" Olette called out to him.
"They've already left the forest. I won't tell which exit. There are four pieces of evidence in all. There are a cinch to find. The fourth is tricky. Big reward if you can find them all." The voice of the cat said.
"Should we trust him?" Donald asked.
The cat reappeared once again. "To trust, or not to trust? I trust you'll decide!" He said and disappeared again.
Olette gave a small sigh and said. "I really wished that Pluto came along with us. That way - we would have found the clues more easily."
Donald and Goofy nodded in response and the trio began searching for evidence to free Alice.
The first clue titled Footprints was discovered near a large flower. The group climbed to one of the tree tops where they found a hole in the trunk of the tree. Upon entering it, they found themselves in the big room on top of the huge stove stone. The second clue titled Stench was discovered near the two burners. The group returned to the Lotus Forest and traveled further until they came upon a boulder. Olette climbed it and reached a lily pad where she discovered the third clue titled Antenna. Donald and Goofy joined her and the group continued walking along the lily pads until they saw a hole in a high corner of the woods. Upon entering, they found themselves in the big room on top of a faucet sticking out of the wall. Olette, Donald and Goofy jumped on a near-by ledge where they found the final clue titled Claw Marks. After they picked it up, the Cheshire Cat appeared on the faucet with that grin of his.
"Well, look what you've found. Nice going." The cat congratulated them.
"Yep, now we can save Alice." Olette said with a smile.
"Don't be so sure! She may seem innocent, but what about you?" The cat asked them.
Olette's smile disappeared. "What do you mean, Mister Cat?" She asked.
"I won't tell you. But I'll give you something." The cat said, as he gave her - a new spell called Blizzard. After giving her that little present, he disappeared into thin air once again.
"You have the Blizzard Spell, Olette! Now you will be able to cast Ice Magic at your enemies." Donald explained.
"Awesome! So, are we going back to the Queen's Castle?" Olette asked, as Donald and Goofy nodded.
The group jumped from the ledge and landed softly on their feet. Unfortunately, they were ambushed by Heartless. After defeating them, the trio returned to the Queen's Castle and walked over to a Card Soldier.
"Are you ready to present evidence before the queen?" The soldier asked and Olette nodded.
"Yes, we are ready." Olette said.
"Very well. Council, step up to the podium." The soldier said.
Olette stood at the defendant's table while Donald and Goofy were in a separate box. Alice, unfortunately was still locked in that cage.
"Now, show me what you have found." The Queen of Hearts demanded.
Olette presented her evidence, but unfortunately the Queen was still unimpressed.
"Well, that's certainly a lot of evidence, but I'm still not impressed. Cards! Bring forth my evidence!" The Queen ordered her soldiers.
The card soldiers presented a box of evidence and to Olette's confusion – all five boxes were shuffled.
"Hmm, checking all five would be a waste of time. All right, then. Choose the one you wish to present. I'll decide who's guilty based on that evidence." The queen said.
Olette got frustrated and said. "Excuse me, your Highness!? After all the trouble my friends and I went through… You want me to choose!? Seriously!?"
The Queen got mad and yelled. "You dare object? Then you will lose your head! Now, choose! One box!"
Olette gave a sigh and thought to herself. "Yeesh. Hasn't the Queen ever heard of anger management classes? She's even worse than Seifer."
The brown-haired girl thought for a moment on which box she should choose and eventually made up her mind.
"I'm choosing the first box on the far left." Olette said.
"Are you certain? No second chances!" The Queen asked.
"Yes, I'm very serious." Olette said.
"Now we shall see who the real culprit is." The Queen said.
From inside the box – a soldier Heartless appeared and disappeared soon after that.
"What in the world was that?" The queen asked with a shocked tone.
"That, your Highness… is your evidence. Now release Alice." Olette said with a brave tone.
"Silence! I'm the law here!" The queen said, as she pounded on the bench.
"Article 29: Anyone who defies the queen is guilty!" The queen declared.
"That's crazy!" Donald yelled angrily.
"Seize them!" The queen ordered, as the hedges and podiums disappeared in the ground. In the center, a small crack tower appeared from the ground. One of the soldiers turned up the tower's gear and Alice's cage was raised at the bench.
"Okay, that's it!" Olette said, as she took out her Keyblade.
"It's go time!" Donald said, as he took out his staff.
"Gawrsh! Let's go!" Goofy said, as he took out his shield.
The card soldiers leaped into battle against Olette and her group…
