A few minutes past and Sora comes back. He runs straight to the podium and stands on the center platform that Alice was standing.
"Now show me what you found" said the queen
Sora brings forth four boxes and paces them in front of the platform. He then returns to the platform.
"Well, that's certainly a lot of evidence" said the queen "But I'm still not impressed. Cards bring forth my evidence!"
One of the cards brings a box and places it next to the evidence that Sora put down. Another card comes and mixes up all five boxes of evidence and places them back in front of the platform.
"Checking all five would only be a waste of time" said the queen "All right, then choose the one you wish to present. I'll decide who's guilty based on that evidence."
Sora was shocked. "What? After all the trouble of collecting it?" he said
Aimala shook her head. "This queen has a bunch of screws loose in her head" she said
"You dare object?" yelled the queen "Then you will lose your head! Now choose one box!"
Sora walks up and examines the boxes carefully. He walks up to the one in the middle and opens it. A heartless in the shape of a knight pops out of the box and then disappears.
"There's your evidence" yelled Sora "Alice is innocent"
The queen yells in anger. "Silence! I'm the law here!" she says "Article 29: Anyone who defies the queen is guilty!"
"That's crazy!" yells Donald
"Seize them at once" yells the Queen.
"This will be easier than I thought" said Aimala
The queen then gestures her cards to raise the cage with Alice up. They run to a small tower and use the crane to cover Alice's cage and crank her up to the top. The cards then proceed to attack Sora and his friends. Aimala took this opportunity to sneak over to the cage where Alice is. She summons a small portal under her feet and Alice falls through the portal. She summons her own portal and jumps back through traveling to her home. Both she and Alice arrive in the meeting room of the villains. Maleficent walks up to Alice and waves her hand. Alice falls immediately to sleep.
"Nicely done my child" said Maleficent "That was much quicker than before."
"I got lucky. The queen there is way too gullible" said Aimala
"I can relate to dealing with gullible people" said Hades
"What happened to the brat?" asked Oogie
"Probably still fighting the queen. He will be pretty busy." said Aimala
"I shall take this girl and put her with the others" said Jafar. He walks up to an unconscious Alice. He waves his staff over her body and she starts to float. The two of them then exit the room. Aimala leaves the room and goes to her own. Riku is inside rocking in his chair. When Aimala enters, Riku turns to her.
"What happened to you?" asked Riku "You suddenly stared into space and said you needed to talk with the others."
"Sorry about that" said Aimala "I got a vision of one of the princesses of light."
"Princesses of light?" asked Riku
"Yes" said Aimala "They are maidens of pure light. They have no darkness inside of them." she sits down on the bed. "All living beings have darkness inside them. This darkness can be a blessing or a curse. When a living creature dies, their hearts leave their body. If the being is evil or their hearts are strong, they will form a dark aura around them. This aura surrounds the heart and takes form into what we call Heartless. As a heartless, they only have one goal, to seek out light and snuff it out."
"So that's why you awakened my darkness on the island."
"Yes, the best way to protect yourself from darkness is to become darkness yourself. It's quite amazing when you think about it."
"So does that mean that Kairi and Sora could fall victim to this as well?"
"Sora yes, Kairi is unknown at the moment."
"What do you mean?"
"When I came to your world, and met Kairi, I was told she wasn't a princess of light. But hanging out with her and seeing how nice she is, I think she has very little darkness inside her. She might not be able to turn into a Heartless."
"Kairi" Riku smiled slightly.
Back with the villains Maleficent, Hades, Jafar, and Oogie were having a meeting.
"Well the green bird has proven that she is capable don't you think?" said Hades
"She was just lucky" said Jafar "If it wasn't for that queen, she wouldn't have had such an easy time."
"You're being too hard on the girl" said Oogie
"Hades is right. She is very powerful now" said Maleficent
"We still don't know the details of what happened when she traveled to the island" said Jafar "Our vision was blocked."
"Apparently she got the task done" said Oogie
"But the specifics are unknown to us. As far as we know, someone else could have done the task."
"That's enough Jafar" said Maleficent "She's our daughter, do you doubt how strong she is?"
"The thing I doubt is how she was able to befriend this Riku fellow" said Jafar "They seem to be rather close. And she awakened his darkness."
"Riku is quite interesting to me" said Maleficent "I see great potential for him to harness the darkness inside his heart. Aimala is the perfect person for the task"
"The way that you act towards him, seems almost motherly" said Jafar
"I hate to interrupt your little lovers' quarrel" said Hades "But if it's not too much trouble, could I borrow Aimala for a while?"
Both Maleficent and Jafar perked up at Hades, comment. "Why do you want to borrow her?" asked Jafar
"She could be helpful in dealing with a certain person on my world" said Hades
"You're talking about Hercules aren't you?" said Maleficent
"Of course, that little miss perfect hero has been a throne in my side for too long" said Hades "I would like nothing better that to erase him from existence. Plus if she isn't as strong as you think, this is the perfect way to prove it."
"Don't you already have someone to take out Hercules with" said Oogie
"You mean Cloud" said Hades "That rat is almost as bad as that other brat I tried to use. What was his name again? Terrence? Terro? Uh…."
"Terra?" said Maleficent
"Yeah that's the one" said Hades
"You never mentioned this before" said Maleficent
"Didn't think I had to the guy hasn't been seen in years."
Maleficent thought for a minute. "Hades, go ahead and take Aimala with you" said Maleficent "Make sure she gets a chance to meet Cloud. If he's anything like Terra, She is the perfect person to awaken the darkness in his heart."
"Don't worry" said Hades "I'll take good care of her."
