I don't own Kingdom Hearts. Sadly.


When we got to Belle's room however, the only person n the room was the talking wardrobe from before.
"Master!" The wardrobe exclaimed.
"Everybody's safe now." Donald reassured, and the wardrobe sighed relived.
"Where is Belle?" Beast asked calmly.
"She left in a hurry! Saying something about going after a man in black."
"SHE WHAT?" Beast roared, and we all trembled.
"Beast! Don't get angry!" I tried, but he shook his head.
"Why doesn't she ever do as she is told!"
"Temper, temper!" The wardrobe replied haughtily. "Her spirit is what makes Belle special."
"Not helping," I warningly sang to the wardrobe.
"We'd better go find her!" Sora offered, and Beast kept growling.

We exited her room and entered the main foyer, just to her Belle scream.
"I'm warning you! You'll be sorry!"
"Belle! Where are you?" Beast shouted.
"Beast! Help, I'm in the ballroom!"
And we ran towards the big double door entrance. As we entered, we saw Belle running towards the balcony doors.
"Belle!"
"I'm alright!" She assured us, and closed the doors.
That's when the giant ball like heartless sprang down from the ceiling menacingly. It jangled, what with all the chains wrapped around its spherical head. It floated towards the grand chandelier and plummeted straight to the floor. With a loud thud, it hit the floor without hirting itself, but managed to make the room start growing a smoky, black, darkness. Everything surrounding us was black and purple, two colors I grew to coincide with the heartless themselves. All, except Beast, made our weapons appear and started to go after the little black ball. But it started to fade away, and suddenly it was apart of the wall itself! With a force of power, light sprang from the separation of the large windows, and as luck would have it, Donald and I got hit with the light. The heartless surged forward, releasing the walls, and went straight to the chandelier. It made the light drop, but only just, and tried using it as a spinning ball of doom. Sora caught on and used a power called Release with his keyblade. The Heartless tumbled out of the chandelier confused, which gave us the advantage to attack it head on. The ball like heartless came to again, and attached itself to a pillar holding the ballroom together. All of the pillars suddenly sprang to life and tried to scratch at all of us in one clump. I used my Release power and it came out, only once again attached itself to the wall. This time I was prepared.
"Beast!" I called out, and we stood together, just as the Heartless came at the chandelier.
"Get out!" Beast roared, and together we made an inseparable, magical bond.
I suddenly felt lighter, and more quicker, like I had in Mulan's world when fighting Shan-Yu. Except I attacked with the speed of my limits. With Beasts mighty claws going as fast as both of my keyblades, the heartless stopped moving and turned into a big purple, black ball of smoke.
"Alright!" I said, pulling my fist back in victory.
My victory was too early. When the ball shattered, an even bigger, beastlike heartless appeared. And just as quickly as it appeared, it disappeared, and started attacking without our knowledge of where to attack back.
"Argh! I hate heartless!" I raged, stepping out of the form I had with Beast.
"I'll handle it!" Sora called, and with his power combined with Goofy's they became Valor form and dominated the heartless beast form.
"Is it finally down?" I asked, not doubting that a third heartless form would appear.
But the heartless shattered and the ballroom returned to normal.
"We did it!" Sora cheered, and the rest of us did a victory dance. But my pendant glowed.
"So you think." Called out the organization member, whom I guessing was Xaldin.
"Xaldin!" Beast roared, and we went after him, but he disappeared within a vortex of darkness. Beast shook his head. "What does he want here?"
"He must be with Organization thirteen." Beast turned to Sora. "Ever heard of the Nobodies." Beast shook his head. "When a strong hearted person turns into a Heartless, a Nobody's created too. See, the organization have control of all the Nobodies."
"That's right," Goofy pointed, "They were going to turn you into a Heartless. That way they could get that Nobody of yours and have control over it."
Sora agreed, and that's when Belle stepped into the ballroom.
"You're all right!"
"Belle!" Beast remembered, and sprinted to her.
We came up behind Beast as they struggled to let their feelings be known.
"Belle, I'm so sorry. I wasn't myself." He looked at her sincerely. "I hope I haven't done anything to hurt you." They smiled at each other, and my heart swelled.
"I know you weren't yourself, and you don't have to apologize." Belle then stood a little more proudly. "But I had hoped that you might of changed a little bit. I wish you could start trusting me." She crossed her arms.
Lumiere spoke up, that's when I had noticed that the rest of Beast's friends had entered the room. "I'm afraid time is running short."
"What do you mean?" Sora asked.
"Remember the rose?" I asked, and Sora nodded. "And remember what I said to Donald? Beast has to learn to love and accept others, as they learn to love and accept him no matter what he or the other person looks like." I paused. "I don't remember the rose's significance."
"It's before the last petal falls." Cogsworth stated, and I nodded.
"Then the spell will be broken!" Lumiere cheered and we all looked back at Beast and Belle.
"You think he's going to make it?" Sora smiled, placing his hands on his hips.
"We think so." Mrs. Potts nodded.
"I think you're right." Goofy chuckled.
"I hope you're right." Sora implied.
I shook my head, already knowing how Beauty and the Beast ended. Then both mine and Sora's keyblades showed up without our summoning. Sora and I looked around for the item that was glowing, but couldn't see it. I instead took my place in front of Sora and held my keyblade which suddenly felt heavy. The ends of our keyblades glowed, and with a wave of magic the crown spot was under our feet. Everyone else disappeared, and as usually the projection of a keyhole appeared in the sky. I flipped my keyblade lightly, its weight lighter again and pointed. The sky glowed brightly, and when it was gone, we were back in the ballroom amongst our friends.
"What happened?" Beast questioned.
"The gate is opened!" Donald cheered.
"And locked," I added with a wink.
"Do you have to go?" Belle asked, and I smiled at her shyly.
"Yes, but we'll be back later." I assured her.
"No more arguing okay?" Goofy teased.
Belle and Beast looked at each other, and Beast blushed brightly.
"You're welcome back anytime!" Cogsworth bowed and I nodded at each of them.
"If any of you hear anything from Riku or the King," Sora started. "The heartless, or the organization- anything at all, just let us know." They nodded.
We all said a round of goodbyes and started to head out of the castle and towards the gummi ship.
