Cloudchasers (Kingdom Hearts II)

"Figures..." Sabrina muttered.

"What?" Sora asked.

"That the Assist Trophy list wasn't complete when I was able to summon them...and of course, Takamaru just had to be added a few days after we left the mansion for the first time..." She replied as she was holding the Assist Trophy and then put it away.

"Hang on...i'm getting a distress signal." Goofy said. "...It's at Disney Castle!"

"This is bad." Donald said.

"So, go there?" Sabrina asked.

"Yeah." Donald replied.

One trip to the castle later...

Mickey Mouse Club March (Kingdom Hearts II)

"So this is your castle..." Sora said.

"Must be nice to be home, huh?" Sabrina asked.

"Ya know, somethin' just doesn't feel right..." Goofy said.

"Yeah." Donald agreed and then Chip and Dale ran up to them.

"You're back!" Chip exclaimed.

"Move it! Let's go!" Dale exclaimed.

"Queen Minnie needs to see you!" Chip told them.

"The castle's in danger! Hurry! To the library!" Dale exclaimed.

They all nodded as they ran out, as the Sora, Sabrina and Latias were amazed at what they were saying. "This...puts Peach's castle to shame..." Sabrina said.

"No kidding." Latias said.

"I want a garden like this..." Sora said.

"No time for sightseeing! We need to head to the library!" Donald exclaimed as he and Goofy ran off, as the trio followed them to the library as they noticed the huge door.

"That is one huge door." Latias said.

"No kidding...is there a giant living here?" Sabrina wondered as they still followed the two to the library as they ran in to see Minnie.

"Your majesty! Queen Minnie! We're back!" Donald saluted.

"You're here!" Minnie smiled.

Goofy then saluted. "Your royal highness, did ya happen to summon us?"

"Yes." She nodded.

Sora then walked up to them and placed his hands on Goofy and Donald. "Where's the king?" He asked, and then Sabrina blushed in embarrassment, causing her to smack him upside the head and then Donald jumped up, wrapping his arm around Sora's neck and bring him down.

"Excuse him. This is our friend, Sora." Donald said, glacing at Sabrina who was still blushing.

Minnie's eyes widened. "Oh, Sora!" She smiled and then looked at Sabrina and Latias. "And you must be Sabrina and Latias, the King told me all about you in his letters. He said that you three are very brave." She looked at Sabrina. "And he said that you're a Pokemon trainer."

"Uh...not really...he just wanted to tag along back at Unova." Sabrina told her.

"I see." Minnie smiled. "May I see this Pokemon? I never actually seen one up close."

Sabrina shrugged and sent out Kyurem. "Oh my!" She exclaimed as Kyurem curiously looked at her. "Such an interesting Pokemon!" She smiled and petted the head, as Kyurem smiled.

"Latias...want to transform? You're a Pokemon too." Sabrina said.

"Alright." Latias nodded and transformed.

"Oh! This is so amazing seeing two Pokemon right in front of my eyes." She smiled as Latias transformed back and Sabrina put Kyurem back.

"So, have you seen the king?" Sora asked, but Minnie didn't say anything, causing him to sigh.

"I haven't seen him lately, but I know I can count on you." She told them. "Now, there's something I'd like all of you to see. Would you please escort me to the audience chamber?" They nodded and then she gasped. "Oh no...I forgot to warn everyone else in the castle about the danger! We must be sure they're hidden somewhere safe!"

"Okay, we'll go tell them." Sora said.

"The whole castle?!" Donald exclaimed.

"We just gotta split up Donald." Goofy told him.

"We'll make sure that everyone knows what's going on." Sabrina said.

"No, you three will just get lost." Donald told them.

"Okay, the three of us will stay with the queen." Sora said.

"Good." Donald said.

"Alrighty then! See ya later!" Goofy waved as they ran off.

"Uh, the audience chamber, right?" Latias asked.

"Right." Minnie nodded as they walked off together...only to be greeted by Bolt Towers, Minute Bombs, Monoeyes, Eggplant Wizards, Komaytoes and Commylooses. "Oh my!"

Desire For All That is Lost (Kingdom Hearts II)

"Alright...we're gonna need some backup." Sabrina smiled and raised her hand. "TAKAMARU!" She yelled.

Takamaru landed in front of them. "Not a problem." He said as they quickly made their way while guiding Minnie to the audience chamber as they were taking out any Heartless or Underworld Army in the way.

They made their way to the door. "Wait one moment." Minnie said as the four of them were on guard, looking for anything to come right for them as Minnie broke the seal. "As soon as the trouble started, I made sure to seal this room." She said and then they walked in...only for more Bolt Towers, Handoras, Tortolunks, and Nettlers appeared in front of them.

"Here too?!" Latias exclaimed.

"I knew it wouldn't be that easy." Takamaru said as they made their way while getting to the throne as they quickly took them out, but they just kept coming as they made to the throne.

"Don't you guys ever give up?" Sora asked, and then a huge bright light engulfed them, and then it disappeared, as all the enemies were gone.

"What the heck?" Sabrina asked as they looked at a secret staircase below the throne room.

"Well...that happened." Latias said.

Mickey Mouse Club March

"The room below is called the 'Hall of the Cornerstone.'" Minnie said. "Our castle has always been safe from worlds that are evil...thanks to the Cornerstone of Light which we keep down there."

"The Cornerstone of Light?" Sora asked as they went downstairs, Takamaru going down too since he's a bit curious to see the Cornerstone too.

"This is the castle's cherished Cornerstone." Minnie told them as Donald and Goofy soon joined them. "But look...the thorns. They must be the work of someone very evil. I wonder what this could mean."

"Hades comes to mind..." Sabrina muttered.

Suddenly, a green flame appeared in front of them...and a hologram of Maleficent appeared in front of them...and then an image of Hades appeared next to her. "Maleficent!" Minnie exclaimed.

Villains of a Sort (Kingdom Hearts)

"Hades!" Sabrina exclaimed.

"Why hello there." Hades chuckled, and then Maleficent glared at Hades.

"What brings you here? You do know that these thorns are my doing, correct?" Maleficent asked.

"Why yes, I do...but can't the lord of the Underworld have some fun? The Heartless can't always have the spotlight, y'know."

"Can't you see that I'm going to threaten to take the Cornerstone away and these idiotic fools won't do a thing?" Maleficent asked.

"Who are you calling idiotic?!" Donald exclaimed and dived right for Maleficent, but went right through her and faceplanted on the Cornerstone.

"I promise that you'll be able to partake in my vengeance, but you must be patient." Maleficent said.

"Yeah, because they're going to deal with me several chapters from now." Hades smirked.

"I don't know what you mean by chapters, but your fourth wall breaking doesn't scare me one bit." Sabrina told him.

Hades chuckled. "Oh trust me...you are going to be begging for mercy when I'm through with you." He said and disappeared.

Minnie glared at Maleficent. "Just what are you doing here, Maleficent?"

"Ah, Queen Minnie. Radiant, as always." Maleficent bowed and then smirked. "I'm here on a property venture. I want this castle for my own. However, it's a bit too...bright for what I had in mind." She then looked at the Cornerstone. "I suppose I'll just have to fill every room with my personal touch of darkness."

"You'd better stop right now if you know what's good for you." Minnie ordered.

"Oooh, how frightening!" Maleficent mocked. "Very well, I'll stop...just as soon as this castle belongs to me!" She exclaimed and then disappearing as she cackled evilly.

"What a hag." Sabrina muttered.

"Nothing like this has ever happened before." Minnie muttered. "I looked through all the records in the library, but I couldn't find a single clue."

"Oh!" Goofy had an idea. "We should go ask somebody who knows lotsa stuff that ain't in any book!"

"Merlin the wizard!" Donald exclaimed.

"Yes, that's perfect!" Minnie smiled. "Merlin might just know something about this mess. Let's ask his advice."

"Let's see...I guess we need to go back to Hollow Bastion." Latias said.

"Right." Sabrina said. "Let's go." She said and then turned to Takamaru. "You can leave now, if you want."

"I was about to tell you I was going to leave, but never mind." He said and then disappeared.

Back at Hollow Bastion...

Reviving Hollow Bastion (Kingdom Hearts II)

"Anyone home?" Sabrina asked as they walked in.

"Merlin!" Donald called out.

"The castle's in danger!" Goofy exclaimed, and then Merlin appeared behind them.

"What is all the racket?" He asked and then noticed them. "Oh! I thought it was you." He said. "Now, what's this about the castle being in danger?"

"It's Maleficent! She's back!" Donald exclaimed.

"Where? Inside the castle?!" Merlin asked.

"Yep! Heartless and the Underworld Army too!" Goofy exclaimed.

"Oh dear..." Merlin muttered.

"Maleficent wants to take over the whole castle and-" Donald began.

Back at the castle...

Mickey Mouse Club March

Minnie was looking at the thorns, when she heard Donald's voice. "There's Heartless and the Underworld Army in every part of the castle! The queen is in danger!" Donald exclaimed as they looked around, causing him to fold his arms and grumbling to himself.

"Perhaps, I'd better just see for myself." Merlin said as he took a good look around and then at the Corner. "Hmm...interesting..."

"What's happening, Merlin?" Minnie asked.

"This is not good. In fact, I'm afraid, it's quite serious." He replied and then with his magic, he summoned a door.

"What's that?" Sabrina asked.

"My girl, that is a gateway to a special world." He replied. "Someone in that world is responsible for what's going on in this castle. Of that, I'm certain."

"Oh boy!" Donald exclaimed.

"We knew we could count on you, Merlin!" Goofy smiled.

"Then, we should go get them." Sora said as he was about to open the door.

"Wait a moment!" Merlin exclaimed. "The perpetrators must be stopped, of course. But there's something else to do first. Somewhere in that world, there should be another door that's identical to this one. I believe our enemies are utilizing that door. As long as it remains open, the castle will be in grave danger."

He then turned to them. "Listen carefully, you two. You must find that door, and when you do...lock it with the Keyblade."

"Got it." Sabrina nodded.

"You can count on us." Donald said.

"Now one more thing. You're heading into a very special world." He told them. "While you're there, the nature of that world may tempt you to do something dark. You must resist that temptation at all costs." He warned.

"What do you mean?" Latias asked.

"You'll know soon enough. I have faith in you, my lads!" Merlin smiled as they walked to the door as Sora opened the door with the help of Sabrina as they walked in together.

I thought about putting in Timeless River in here, but since i'm busy and getting too distracted, I'd thought i'd divide this into two chapters.
