Wandering in Wonderland
Author's notes- I don't own anyone in these stories. Special thanks to Anabel the lady shark for reviewing. Remember if you're reading this, it's partly your duty to enjoy and the other part is to review.
Roxas' POV
After just leaving Saskue, Sakura and Leon to argue, whether or not, Saskue was too indulged into the power of darkness; you'd probably think some friend huh? Well, the truth is, I could feel his darkness and an even stronger source fuelling him. So I was kinda prepared for what I was about to learn, in our next world.
I fell in love, with the gummie ship, on first sight. Cid introduced us to his elegant, comfortable and superfast machine- Inside the cockpit we met our pilot and co-pilot- Chip+Dale. "Pleasure to meet you." I said, shaking their hands. "Hi guys!" Naruto greeted, giving them each a high five. "Aw. You guys are soooo cute!" complemented Sakura, taking Chip and Dale, in her arms. You see Chip and Dale are chipmunks. Fury cute little chipmunks, as Sakura often commented. "Don't worry guys. You'll find your friends. Just don't forget to save the worlds, while you're at it." Cid sent us off, as we hit hyper speed and disappeared from Traverse Town.
Have you ever been on a really long plane ride, or a really fast rollercoaster? Did you get motion sickness? Well being on the gummie ship, for the first time, is a hundred times worse. The good news was, it was really short, and we were looking at our next destination, in about thirty seconds. "There it is!" squealed Chip. "That's Wonderland!" The three Key wielders rushed to the door of the ship, but the two chipmunks bounced in front of us, stopping us, in our tracks. "Wait be careful, out there. Check left and right." Naruto sighed. "Fine. Left. Right. Careful, okay?" "Uh... you might want to look down." "Down?" That's when gravity decided to activate, pulling Naruto down through the darkness, he had just stepped out into. When me Sakura were about to follow, a beeping made us pause.
We turned, to see, Dale jumping on a glowing button, which read 'Push me'. Yuffie appeared on the glass of the ship. "Yuffie?! What's up?" Sakura asked. "Well, for one thing I didn't say goodbye. Goodbye!" The female ninja made a big goodbye wave, with both hands. "Also I needed to tell you something. It involves my old world Radiant Garden. The ambassador of our world was a philosopher, name Ansem. He actually wrote a report on the heartless. I think, it might tell us a way to defeat the heartless, for good, apart from sealing all the Keyholes. However this report was scattered, across the worlds and I'm afraid Maleficent has most of the report, already..." "Who's Maleficent?" I and Sakura questioned. Yuffie's face darkened. "She's a witch." Yuffie said the words, almost fiercely. "The controller of the heartless and the destroyer of worlds. That reminds me, Maleficent was spotted here, with a black haired boy with hell-red eyes. "That's Saskue!" I said, knowing full well, about Saskue's eyes. Yuffie nodded, grimly. "Well that's about it... hey where's Naruto?" "Oh he's just..." My jaw dropped. "Still wandering in Wonderland. Uh... Yuffie we'll talk to you later." I clicked Yuffie off. "Fly." Sakura activated the Fly card. "Aero." I activated my sphere of air, to hover me down to Wonderland.
Sakura's POV
When we arrived, Naruto was kissing his wounds, but at sight of us stopped immanently, looking embarrassed. "What took you so long?" he asked. Before anyone could answer, a white rabbit, in a jacket, holding a pocket watch cane down from the shaft of space; we had just come down from, bouncing off Roxas' head. "I'm late! I'm late! She'll have my head for this!" The rabbit ran down the hall.
"C'mon. Let's follow him." Roxas said, rubbing his forehead. The three kids soon found him themselves, in a circular room along with a two inch tall rabbit. We were just able to see him exit the room, out of a tiny door. (And I mean a three inch tall door.) "How did he get so small?" asked Roxas, bewildered. "He drank the potion on the table." Answered the doorknob. All three of our jaws dropped. The doorknob was talking! Naruto, however, took this as a positive thing. "Wow. All these worlds are so mysterious." "This world is a little too mysterious." Roxas said, frowning. "By the way, Mr. Doorknob... sir, this bottle is empty. Roxas pointed to a small bottle that had the words 'Drink me.' Printed on it. The doorknob took no notice and it took Roxas three minutes, to realise it was asleep. "Great now, how are we supposed to follow that Rabbit?" "Key of the star, reveal the staff and shine your light. Release! Little and Erase, draw your power, from my light. Star Cards!" The moment I was holding my wand, the three of us were two inches tall, and a small hole appeared in the same wall, that the door was on.
"Court is now in session." A high pitched voice called. What I saw was not what I would have called a court. For one thing, there was no jury. The only people watching the court were us and some playing card security guards. (And yes I said playing cards- they were aces carrying huge lances.) Then the judge of this was the fat and ugly Queen and finally the suspect- a small cute blond haired girl, was in a cage. "This girl's the culprit! There's no doubt about it." Said the Queen of Hearts. "And do you know why? ... Because I say so!" "That is completely unfair!" objected the girl, known as Alice. "I've done nothing wrong!" "I don't give a damn! You are guilty for the attempted theft, of my heart!" "Hold it right there!" cried three outraged voices, including mine. The three wielders had interjected. The Queen turned her attention to us, her eyes were bulging and her face was incredibly red. "Who are you? How dare you idiots, interfere, with my court." She screamed her voice high. "But, your majesty, we know who the real culprit is." Said Roxas, going on one knee. (I thought this was a little much but it seemed to get the job done.) "Have you any proof?" her voice going a shade softer. "Well... it's the heartless... but... no maim." "I see." Her eyes narrowed and her nostrils flared. "Bring me proof... or it's off with all of your heads." (Naruto and Roxas' hands jumped to their spiky blond hair.) "Till then court is adjourned!" Her gable hit the table, breaking it into two.
I rushed towards, Alice's cage, as it slowly rose up towards the sky. "Just wait." I called. "We'll find the real criminal." "Find the Cheshire Cat, in the woods; he might be able to help. Oh and good luck Naruto!" Alice blew a kiss to the spiky haired ninja, who blushed, in return. He started to strut, a smug smile spread across his face. Me and Roxas looked at him, our jaws fallen. (Man, we were getting a lot of surprises today.)
Saskue's POV
Even with the powerful and dark Manekyo sharingan, which Maleficent had bested on me, finding the Cheshire Cat was still trouble. It was a while before my new and improved eyes locked onto the purple and white cat, lying invisibly on a tree branch, and waiting. As my luck would have it, he was waiting for a few ex-friends of mine. "Hello, might you looking for this?" the cat said appearing, to the three, a box was in his hands. "The Cheshire Cat! Is that the evidence?" Naruto said, surprising me by taking charge. "I think it is... then again maybe not. To trust or not to trust? I trust you'll decide. He threw down the box and disappeared but had not gone. The box fell on Roxas' head and right into Naruto's arms. I had already looked inside, the box, so it didn't surprise me to see a solider heartless jump out, of the open box. "Follow it!" cried Naruto, his Key Kunai appearing in his hand. The Cheshire Cat was still there, smiling. I moved towards him, making no noise. "Cat..." "Huh?" The Cat's smile faltered, his eyes were a mix between confusion and alertness. He turned his head towards me and his eyes met mine. That's it. I've won. This cat is caught in my mind control genjutsu.
Naruto's POV
Okay, before I begin, here's the thing about Alice and me. She thinks I'm hot and although I'm in love with Hinata, I think she's kinda cute. Now let's get back to the story. "Who is this?" "Your majesty! He's the evidence!" The solider heartless had almost reached the Queen. "No!" she shrieked. I threw my Key Kunai, like a javelin, making him vanish, into smoke. "Do you see now that Alice is innocent? Let her go!" I ordered. The Queen ignored my command. She was breathing very hard. "Gravity." Roxas said his magic bringing down the cage that... used to hold Alice? Alice's cage was empty. "Where is Alice?" the Queen recovered, quickly. "All of you- go search for Alice." The Queen's guards set out, although many of them gave us steely looks, like it was our fault she was gone. Soon we were the only ones, in the court. "That's weird. I thought heartless only attacked people on the spot. Why'd they kidnap her?" I said. "Maybe a heartless controller told them to." Roxas suggested. "Like Maleficent." "Oh yeah, that's right you weren't there." Roxas said. "She's the master of the heartless." Said a voice from behind. All of us turned to see the figure of the frowning Cheshire Cat. "You're looking for Alice. (It wasn't a question.) Follow me." He ordered, I noted his voice and eyes were a lot colder, than last time.
The Cheshire Cat took us back into the room, with the talking doorknob, which was still sleeping BTW. Suddenly, we were trapped in everlasting darkness. That is until a half a dozen lights revealed the disappearance of the Cheshire Cat and another giant heartless. This one was tall (even for a giant) and seemed to be made, out of segments. While I and Roxas took our battle stances, Sakura took her wand, with an almost bored expression on her face. "Big. Draw your power, from my light. Star card." Suddenly the Key wielders returned to their normal size, towering over a seven inch heartless. That's when I noticed something- this heartless was just a toy for Alice's kidnapper, who was in this room, staring at us. "You?! You kidnapped Alice?!" I charged at the heartless and kicked it, right into Saskue's invisible face. "Byakugan!" I screamed. My eyes turned a pale pink, stress lines appeared, around them. Saskue, how could you?" The heartless didn't make it to Saskue's expressionless face- it was absorbed right into his hell red eyes. "If you're looking for that girl- Alice- she's gone. My lady has her now." Saskue appeared to the others and looked Roxas straight in the eye, before taking his leave, in a dramatic flash of darkness. "Saskue..." Roxas breathed, the words, looking crest fallen.
I threw my Key Kunai to the ground, in frustration. It landed next to the talking doorknob, waking him from his slumber. "Such a racket! How's a doorknob supposed to get any sleep?" The doorknob gave out a huge yawn, revealing what we'd been searching for, the entire time. My Key acted, on its own, sending a beam of light to lock this world's Keyhole. "It was there, the entire time? Why didn't we look there first?!" Roxas ranted, while Sakura and I laughed at his frustration.
Saskue's POV
"That's two keyholes, they've found now." I said. "It will take them eons, to find the others. Besides, everything is falling into place, in our favour. Maleficent reassured me. The two of us looked at the forever unconscious form of Alice- The Princess of Wonderland.
Author's notes- So how'd you like this chapter? If anyone is wondering about Saskue's Manekyo sharingan, Maleficent gave him the power of darkness and along with the parting from his friends, this activated his sharingan. This sharingan has the power to absorb anyone and take their powers- this is how Saskue can now go invisible. Also instead of slowly blinding the user, like it does in the anime, this will weaken his heart, thus sticking to the original plot. Finally I want people's opinion on allowing Naruto's Byakugan to appear so early. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed, please review.
