Chapter 7: The Kingdom of Isolation.
Landing in the new world the gang landed at a safe distance from human contact. They landed just outside of town on a grassy hill. Before going into town Aqua transfigured their clothes into something more suitable of that world.
Entering the town the group gasped at the décor of the town. It was absolutely beautiful. There were banners hanging from houses, there were souvenir stands with people selling pates with clearly royal faces on them. Through the hustle and bustle of the crowd the gang saw several people talking amongst themselves. Like nearby a boy was running out of his house while his mother tried adjusting his jacket.
A man with blonde hair offered a carrot to a reindeer saying in a strange voice. "Give me a snack." Before changing it to a more normal voice. "Ah ah, what's the magic word?" And reverting back to his other voice. "Please." It was clear the man was talking both to and for the reindeer.
The gang turned away from him, lucky for them, because if they kept looking they would have seen the man taking a bite out of the carrot the reindeer had recently taken a bite out of.
In front of them a woman was dragging a flustered man while saying excitedly. "Come on faster Percy!" Before running to the castle.
Near 'Percy' and his wife a small man who looked not unlike a weasel was talking in an excited voice. "Ah, Arendelle, time to find you secrets and exploit your riches." The man was clearly deranged as he said to his thugs beside him. "Did I just say that out loud?"
The gang looked at each other worriedly due to the nature of this man. Soon though any thoughts about dangerous weasel men were immediately vanquished by a positive voice of an Irishman saying. "Ah, I can't wait to see the princesses, I bet they look absolutely lovely"
The gang smiled at each other as they walked across the bridge following the rest of the crowd. As they walked through the door next to a short-haired brunette woman. A red-headed woman danced across the wall of the bridge singing a song. "This world sure is weird." Sora whispered to the others who nodded in agreement, to them seeing a woman singing a song while dancing along a dangerous place would be cause for dread, it seemed a normal occurrence to the people of Arendelle since they didn't even take a second look at the red headed woman.
~Scene change~
The coronation was in progress, the princess, who was called Elsa was holding onto the coronation objects worriedly. And for good reason, The gang noticed that ice was beginning to cover the objects. It wasn't even cold, it was like mid-July or something. As soon as the priest finished the prayer the now Queen Elsa quickly dropped the objects back onto their cushion and quickly replaced her gloves.
~Scene change~
The party was now in full swing, the gang was allowed to stay due to their renowned status as Keyblade wielders. It seemed even this world had heard of them.
Anyway, the band started playing a waltz. Immediately Aqua & Ventus, Mark & Phillipa and Roxas & Xion stood up to dance. Deciding to mingle Sora went and spoke with the people of Arendelle and the royals from across the seas. Including Prince Hans of The Southern Isles, Sora was distrustful of Hans immediately due to the darkness in the young Princes heart. Over the course of the ball Sora danced with many of the women attending including Aqua, Xion, Phillipa and even the Princess Anna, who disappeared off with Hans sometime after casual dancing started. Sora had asked the Queen to dance. However she was unable to dance, so she politely refused.
During a rather complicated quick-step with Xion, the Princess returned with the young prince, they immediately went over to Elsa who reacted extremely badly to what they said as she walked away from her sister who had taken one of her gloves. What Elsa did next stopped the party completely as she yelled. "I SAID 'ENOUGH'!" swiping her hand outwards causing ice spikes to appear out of the ground.
Being Keyblade wielders, the guards allowed the gang to chase after Elsa who had accidentally frozen a fountain outside and run off. The snow now falling due to Elsa's mood had begun to settle and didn't seem to be stopping any time soon. When the gang had reached Elsa she was about to cross the fjord.
~With Elsa~
'I'm a freak. I'm dangerous.' Elsa thought to herself as she looked across the fjord. When she was about to take a step forward a hand grabbed onto her shoulder. Turning around she saw the young man who had offered a dance and six others behind him. Now, being scared made Elsa's normally logical mind take a holiday to rest. So, stepping away fearfully she said, also fearfully. "Stay away."
"Elsa." The boy in with brown hair and grey eyes said comfortably. "You don't need to be afraid. But if you need time to be alone, we won't stop you. Just remember that we" he gestured to himself and his friends "will always be there to help." Around him his friends spoke their agreement.
Elsa smiled, nodded and said. "Thank you." Before running off.
When Elsa was about halfway across the fjord Anna came running down nearby stairs while holding onto her sisters' glove. At the water edge Anna fell to her knees and started crying.
~Meanwhile~
Meanwhile, Elsa was walking across a snowy pasture when she let it all out in the form of a song. (A/N: Go to Youtube, look up 'Let it go' and watch the song.)
At the end of her song Elsa walked into her recently created castle and started working on the interior design. When she was finished a thin woman with horns on her head stepped out of a dark hole. The woman held a staff which seemed to aid her walking. Looking at Elsa she smirked and said. "How does it feel to be cast aside?"
~Back with the gang~
The gang were currently sitting in a tavern sipping on their beers, which was fairly strong, discussing the situation with Elsa. "She's going to be vulnerable to Maleficent's machinations." Sora told the others before saying. "We could go and comfort her?"
"No." Aqua said. "We can't, she needs to be alone."
However Mark decided to add his two munny. "She needs comforting, I say we take Anna up the mountain to help her sister."
The others could see nothing wrong with what Mark said so they agreed. So standing up the went off in search of Anna who they found a few minutes later boarding a horse. Quickly following after the gang quickly lost Anna due the speed of her horse.
However, they soon caught up with her walking through the snow. "Wait up princess." Ventus called out.
Anna looked over her shoulder and upon spotting the Keyblade gang waited for them to catch up. When they did she looked them in the eye and asked. "What is going on?"
Roxas was the one to reply, however, the reply was slightly distorted as Ventus also answered. "We're going after Elsa and we would like you to join us."
Anna looked at the two boys as if they'd grown extra heads before processing what they had said before answering. "Of course, do you have any horses."
"No." Sora replied. "We have something even better." He replied smugly.
However before they could summon their gliders the gang heard a deep crazy laughter. "Ha ha-ha ha ha." Out of the shadows came a large dog-like creature dressed in blue. "You ain't goin' nowhere. Maleficent is going to destroy this world with you precious queens powers." Pete replied maniacally.
"Not if we can help it." The entire gang replied in unison summoning their respective Keybades.
"So you wanna fight the big dog do ya? Well, you won't be smiling after this!" Pete shouted summoning countless heartless and surrounding the area with invisible walls.
Sora, Roxas, Xion, Roxas, Mark, Phillipa, Aqua, Ventus and Anna vs Pete and his heartless.
The Keybladers first priority was the heartless. Roxas went after the Neoshadows because only one hit and it dies. Xion took care of the Large Bodies since she is agile. Mark, Phillipa and Ven took care of the Tornado Steps and Crescendos since they are fastest. Aqua dealt with the Book Masters and Barrier Master because she excels in magic. Anna dealt with Shadows because she had no experience whatsoever. And Sora, well being Sora he took care of Pete since he is the most skilled.
The fight against Pete wasn't exactly hard. Sora started the fight by using a Sliding Dash, this caused Sora to go straight through him. When Sora stood up he noticed Pete had thrown an explosive homing ball at him. So Sora stood there until the ball reached him where he simply deflected back towards Pete. Sora sent a quick Fira at Pete before attacking him. Suddenly Pete bent down and when he stood up he announced. "How 'bout a change?" Before running off to the side.
~Scene change~
Sora and the others soon found themselves in Arendelle's town. They kept fighting their respective enemies. Soon after Sora found himself fighting alongside Anna who helped Sora by attacking Pete with her fists. Unfortunately Anna didn't have experience in fighting Pete and was knocked out. Sora looked at the unconscious form of Anna sadly before continuing his fight. Sora kept fighting Pete until he once again changed the scenery.
~Scene Change~
Sora and the others now found themselves in the castles great hall. Sora focused on Pete intently who was confused until Sora shouted "TAKE THIS!" Before releasing a Flurry of Dancing Flames (I couldn't resist). Pete was hit by all fifteen hits when Sora suddenly curled himself into a ball in mid-air while surrounded fire where Sora willed even more fireballs to hit Pete.
Pete fell to one knee after the onslaught of attacks on his person. But Sora had made one fatal mistake: he forgot about all of the explosive balls that Pete had sent after him. So when he went to stood up all of balls exploded at once nearly knocking him out. Standing up Sora only saw Pete's fist come towards him before he was knocked out.
It's all Over
I Won't Give Up ß
Suddenly out of nowhere Mickey appeared shouting. "Sora, I'll help ya." Before proceeding to beat the living crap out of Pete who was easily knocked out, and when he was he ran away with his tail between his legs.
End fight.
Mickey and the others went over to Sora, raised their Keybades into the air and said "Light." The entire area was surrounded by a bright white light which caused Mickey to go back to Disney Castle and Sora to come back. "Thanks guys." Sora thanked his friends who all said 'you're welcome.' "Right, let's help Elsa." A unanimous agreement sounded.
"So how are we getting there?" Anna enquired.
"Like this." Everyone else said summoning their Gliders (minus Mark and Phillipa). "Right. Anna you go with me." Aqua said smiling at the young girl who smiled back and climbed on the back of Aqua's Glider. With everyone mounted the Keybladers shot off in search of Elsa.
However they didn't see Prince Hans watch them fly off. Hans smirked to himself thinking. 'Arendelle shall soon be mine.' Before continuing with the naïve soldiers in his wake.
~Meanwhile in Disney Castle~
Mickey appeared in a flash of light into his Library where his wife was waiting for him. "What happened?" Minnie asked her husband.
Said mouse replied happily yet slightly distract. "I helped out Sora again it seems that even now he is being knocked out. Not completely unexpected, that happens to me still after all." Before sniffing and adding. "It seems Sora was able to find the people from Coulsdon. However, he seems to have Aqua and Ventus helping. From what I could gather before I left Sora somehow managed to rescue Aqua from the Realm of Darkness and with help allowed Ven to gain his heart back."
Minnie smiled at Mickey before asking. "Are you sure you alright with helping Sora?"
"Yeah, I'm always glad to help a friend. And Sora is one of my best friends."
~Back to Arendelle~
"So, what made the queen go all ice crazy?" Aqua asked Anna in a genuinely curious.
"Oh, it's just, I asked her if she would bless marriage with Prince Hans." Anna replied. 'well that's not too bad.' Aqua thought. However Anna wasn't finished. "But she got mad because I had only just met him you know, that day."
Suddenly Aqua stopped her Glider, looked at Anna and said extremely seriously. "You should not ever even be friends let alone married with a person you have only just met. I knew Ven for six years before we even started courting. I'm sure Mark knew Phillipa for at least a month before courting. And Roxas and Xion knew each other for nearly 200 days. You see Anna, love cannot blossem at first sight."
"HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?!" Anna yelled at Aqua with tears prickling at her eyes.
Aqua however didn't seem perturbed. "Because I love Ven. Anna, love is like a flame. When it is new it is beautiful but does nothing for you. What true love is, is like embers, much longer lasting, much hotter and actually does something." Aqua explained to Anna softly.
"Right, thank you Aqua." Anna said smiling at the woman
"You're welcome Anna. Come on." Aqua grinned before flying off to join the group again.
~Meanwhile with Elsa~
Elsa stood there with now blackened hair and slightly yellow eyes smirking evilly. "Come and geeeeeet meeeee." Dark Elsa sang out towards the city. They who had heard her had shivers sent up their spines.
The sound of whirring drew Dark Elsa's attention to the balcony. "Hello, Keybladers, I've been expecting you." Dark Elsa said in a hollow voice. "Ah, the mostly ignored member." Elsa smirked facing Phillipa.
"Break out of it Elsa." Phillipa said to the now jet-black haired woman.
Said woman smirked before going on the usual bad guy rant. To the Keybladers it went like. "I'm evil, blah blah blah, I've joined the darkness. Blah, blah, blah. You shall now die." Suddenly the Keybladers were woken up by an invisible wall appearing between themselves and Phillipa & Elsa. "Let's see how you deal with the powers of Ice." Elsa yelled.
Phillipa vs. Dark Elsa (DE)
Elsa quickly sent a blast of Ice towards Phillipa who dodged it immediately. Phillipa quickly summoned her Keyblade in a reverse grip, much like Mark's and Ventus's. Phillipa smirked at her adversary before she moved into a blur of black and red in her Reaction Command Speed attack. DE couldn't even dodge. When Phillipa was finished Elsa was down to two bars of health. "Impressive, but can you stop this?" DE asked evilly before surrounding the entire area in Ice spikes before sending them all at Phillipa at once.
Phillipa was panicking, she was going to die, she knew it. Preparing for death Phillipa closed her eyes and waited.
It came.
Phillipa Howard died on the 29th September 2014 at 7:42 PM Coulsdon time.
End fight.
DE smirked as she stepped over the fallen Keyblade wielder. "She's dead, what are you gonna do now huh?" DE threatened the Keybladers, who surprised her by pulling out their Keyblades, pointing them at Elsa and releasing a beam of pure light out of all six if them. The lights struck Elsa and she fell down in pain.
Elsa's hair slowly turned blonde until she was back to who she used to be.
~Meanwhile~
At the gates of Heaven Phillipa stood before Saint Peter called her forward. "Ah, Phillipa Howard. God has asked me personally to give you a choice. Do you want to stay in heaven where you will go due to your good deeds throughout your life. Or would you like to return to your life and finish it with Mark?"
Phillipa thought for a moment before saying "I would like to…"
~Back with the gang~
Seeing Phillipa's broken and deceased body caused Mark to snap. But the snapping only occurred when Prince Hans arrived and tried to kill both Anna and Elsa.
Looking at the Prince with deranged fury Mark got out his Keyblade which had mutated into something far darker then its old look.
End Chapter.
So, Phillipa is dead and Mark is becoming dark. Find out what happens next in: Falcon… Punch.
Current party: Sora, Roxas, Xion, Mark, Aqua and Ventus. 14844 words so far.
