"Hi there. I think you already know me but I'm Gwen and welcome to our team."
Cameron was shaking from head to toe as he sat over on the villains' side and they all were glaring at him.
Except one.
He looked at Gwen who was smiling in a friendly way that kind of reminded him of Zoey. "H-Hi."
"You okay?" Gwen asked, holding up a hand, almost like she was trying to calm down a shaking child rather than a fellow teen.
"I'm just nervous…I don't think I'm welcome here." Cameron said, looking at the rest of the Villains' team as they walked back to the hotel.
"It's all right." Gwen said understandably. "These guys aren't nice while competing…or when they're not competing when you think about it. I wouldn't worry about it though, they won't bite if you don't agitate them. They'll pretty much ignore you."
"Thanks, Gwen." Cameron smiled gratefully as they walked into the hotel. "To be honest I don't think I'll last long here though. They'll kick me out the next time we lose."
"Then we'll have to make sure we don't lose." Gwen put a hand on Cameron's shoulder. "Those two friends of yours would be sad if you left so soon, right?"
"Y-Yeah." Cameron smiled. "They would be."
"Then we'll just have to work together and no this is not an offer to an alliance in case you are wondering." Gwen said quickly.
"I wasn't thinking it…To be honest I feel like I can trust you, Gwen." Cameron said as they came upon the rooms that separated the team's gender.
"Thanks, Cameron." Gwen's smile seemed to brighten despite how dark the night was. "I'll see you in the morning. Make sure you get up early, these guys like to have big fancy breakfasts and have massages while they're at it. Be quick about it and they won't even know you exist."

"So our world was destroyed by these monsters called the Heartless that supposedly creatures born from the Darkness inside people's hearts, and when you say hearts you're referring to something like our souls and they seek out the light, the good part in people's hearts, devouring them and turning more people into Heartless and even devour the hearts of worlds that engulf them and the people into Darkness. And you, that red haired girl Zoey, and that guy with the multiple personalities were given weapons called Keyblades that are used to fight the Heartless and save worlds from the Darkness." Noah said after listening to the story Gwen had told him while lounging in the living room of the tree house owned by the kid named Finn and his dog, Jake.
"Pretty much." Gwen chuckled. "Hard to believe? I know it was for me."
"After everything I've seen I'll accept your story." Noah shrugged. "You have no idea what's been like for me here. This past month has been crazy."
"Month?" Gwen questioned. "Noah, our world was destroyed two years ago."
"Two years?" Now Noah looked confused. "I may not have a watch with me Gwen but I was able to keep track of time and I've only been here for a month."
"That's weird." Gwen put a hand to her chin. "Could there be some sort of time difference when you travel to other worlds?"
"I wouldn't be surprised." Noah shrugged again. "Now about Heather having this Keyblade weapon and trying to kill you."
"I honestly don't know how or why she had a Keyblade or why she tried to kill me, Noah. I still remember how much we hated each other back on Total Drama but we never tried to kill each other. She even was using Darkness based attacks against me. It makes me wonder if she has something to do with the threat to the worlds and possibly why our world was destroyed." Gwen sighed sadly.
"I always thought she was a little crazy. Not Izzy crazy but crazy enough to do something stupid like that." Noah pointed out.
"Still, though it's making me worried. If Heather's involved than what about the others? You haven't seen them?" Gwen asked.
"After that World Tour fiasco I walked away from that stupid show, aside from showing up with you guys on the boat at the beginning of Season Four. I haven't seen anyone but I did trade a few emails with Cody. He sounded sad that he couldn't attend that new season with you but when he heard Sierra was attending his parents were relieved. Seems like they've been trying to keep her away from Cody and I heard she made a tent outside their house." Noah commented.
"Sounds like her." Gwen smiled nostalgically.
"But I haven't seen anyone out here. I've been struck with those two idiots, Finn and Jake, dragging me out on all sorts of stupid adventures." Noah continued, grimacing to the sound of music downstairs. "The kid's been bothering me since I'm only other human around here. The rest were probably all killed in something called the Mushroom War."
"Mushroom War?" Gwen raised an eyebrow.
"Don't ask. As far as I can tell it was probably a nuclear war that wiped out all life on the planet the radiation spawned all sorts of life that I didn't think was possible. The place is called Ooo and its home to all sorts of wacky." Noah answered with a heavy sigh.
"Like the Ice King?" Gwen offered.
"Yeah him." Noah nodded with a grimace. "Belongs in a padded cell with Izzy. Always kidnapping princesses to marry them."
"Looks like he found one that liked him." Gwen commented.
"Makes me wonder what brain damage she's got. So when are we leaving?" Noah asked, standing up and looking eager to leave.
"I can't just leave yet, Noah. I haven't found Mike or Terra yet. There is also the chance that if I found you I might find someone who can help me." Gwen replied.
"And you think I wouldn't have found them? I've been up and down Ooo for the last two months. They're not here, Gwen." Noah retorted.
"There's something else, Noah. Heather showed up here for a reason and ever since I first stepped onto the porch of this tree house I sensed Darkness." Gwen continued. "Something's going on here and I need answers."
"And you think you'll get them from where? The Ice King's wedding?" Noah asked rhetorically but saw the look on Gwen's face. "Oh fudge."
"Where's the Ice King right now?" Gwen asked.
"Probably having the time of his life 'man-lorette' party with Finn and Jake." Noah grumbled. "Please tell me you're not attending his wedding."
"What better way to start?" Gwen shrugged with a smile.
"Why me?" Noah moaned.
Xxx
"And what is that?" Heather asked as she watched the group began walking to the Ice King's Palace. "For someone who thinks she can take Gwen out your not making a whole lot of effort."
"Stow it, Heather. I'm testing her. Gwen's obviously onto our little plan at that Ice Nut's palace. She and Noah figured it out and now they'll be ready." Courtney retorted. "This isn't about taking Gwen out; it's about finding the Princess of Heart. Unlike you Heather, I can focus on the objective."
"Oh sure." Heather rolled her eyes as she turned around. "Completely focused on the objective."
BEEP!
BEEP!
BEEP!
"What the-" Heather spun around and looked at the screen. "What's with all the racket?!"
The screen switched from Gwen and her group to the Ice King's fortress as a portal to the Lanes Between and out of the portal came Terra in his armor.
"Terra? Here?!" Courtney stood up. "It's too soon to be dealing with him! What is he doing there?!"
"Having a little trouble now, Courtney?" Heather smirked.
Courtney grunted as she stood up. "This changes nothing, Heather. So what if he shows up? It doesn't change a thing. Why don't you sick your boyfriend on him again?"
"Need my help? I thought you had it all planned out? Besides, shouldn't you send one of your boyfriends to stop him?" Heather retorted.
"If you want to keep your heart you'll shut up right now, Heather!" Courtney growled, one step away from summoning her Keyblade. "I guess I'll just lure him away from the Ice Palace with the Unversed."
"Or there is a better way." A dark voice made Heather and Courtney freeze as they turned around.
Standing behind them, leaning against the wall with his arms and his helmet in one hand crossed was Mal, staring at them with a dark smirk.
"Mal…" Courtney whispered, taking a step back.
"I have a better solution rather than wasting Unversed on that poor sap." Mal stated with a sinister chuckle. "Just leave it all to me." With that said Mal laughed as he vanished into a Corridor of Darkness.
Heather and Courtney both shuddered and released a breath of relief when he was gone. Needless to say no one could stand being in the same room as Mal, especially with the way he was now.

The first thing Terra saw when he emerged into this world was darkness, not evil darkness but literal darkness. It didn't take him long to see that he was in a cave. Rationalizing that all he had to do was find the way out Terra followed the path with a small bit of light that most likely sunlight. What he didn't expect to hear was music up ahead.
Stopping for a second, Terra paused and listened. 'That is music but who's playing it?' He followed the sound until he came upon on a house. 'A house?'
The house was colored pink with a brown roof, surrounded by a white fence, a basketball net and three cupolas. Terra slowly walked up to the door, listening to the music coming from inside the house.
When you walk away
You don't hear me say
'Please, oh baby, don't go'
Simple and Clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a latter later
Regardless of warning the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing like's before
Terra hesitated but knocked quietly on the door, realizing that the song being sung was likely possible. The door opened and Terra was greeted with the slight surprise of a young woman floating a few feet from the ground. The woman had pale blue skin with long midnight black hair the fell to her feet. Terra spotted two red dotted marks on her neck. She wore a black and red striped sweater and blue torn jeans while leaving her feet bare.
"H-Hello." Terra stated.
"Are you a human?" The woman asked, showing fangs when she spoke.
"…Yes." Terra nodded carefully. "I got lost in this cave and I was wondering if you could show me the way out."
"Hmm…." The woman seemed to examine Terra from head to toe. "Do you know Finn?"
"Hm?" Terra lifted an eyebrow. "No, sorry."
"You definitely smell human." The woman floated in front of Terra. "Who are you?"
"My name is Terra. I'm…looking for someone." Terra answered slowly.
"Really?" The woman commented with an intrigued smile. "I'm Marceline, I'm a Vampire."
"A Vampire?" Terra repeated in surprise. 'Vampires, creatures of Darkness…but I don't sense any Darkness from her.'
"Yep." Marceline said with a toothy grin. "But don't worry, I don't need to suck your blood…" She opened her mouth to show her fangs. "Or do I?"
Terra didn't react, sensing the woman was joking. "I came upon this house when I heard music and I couldn't help but hear your song."
Marceline's smile widened slightly. "Really, you like what you heard."
"Sorry about snooping." Terra apologized. "I just became curious when I heard it. What inspired you to make it?"
"Just thinking about a boy who likes to go on adventures." Marceline floated back into her house, allowing Terra to come in and look at the living room. "He's the most interesting guy I've seen in a while. I'd probably drag him along for a time in the Nightosphere and see how long he holds up."
"The Nightosphere?" Terra asked.
"Just a bad place that my dad runs. I don't want to talk about it…" Marceline turned away, letting Terra know that it upset her.
"Darkness always finds a way into wounded hearts. You have to be strong. Strength of heart will carry you through the hardest of trials." Terra stated.
"And what do you know of my heart?" Marceline faced Terra with a raised eyebrow. "Vampires don't have hearts."
"You singing that song with such feel proves you do have a heart." Terra replied.
Marceline would have said something else when she and Terra heard something. Terra turned around and saw Flood Unversed pop out of the ground.
"Unversed!" Terra quickly summoned his Keyblade.
Marceline's eyes widened when she saw the key shaped weapon appear in Terra's hands. "Is that…"
"Freeze!" Terra fired an ice shard at a nearby Unversed, taking it out before pointing his Keyblade above his head. "Gather!"
His Magnera spell gathered several Unversed into the sphere of energy, allowing Terra to take them out with a few quick slashes before landing on the ground. As he landed on the ground a blue aura surrounded him and he heard a voice in his head. "Diamond Dust!"
He slashed at the nearest Unversed, turning it into an icy statue that shattered a second later. He thrust his Keyblade into another Unversed, freezing it and destroying and then slash at another one, taking it out just as quick. Three more Unversed appeared, two of them being Scrapper type Unversed while the other was a Red-Hot Chili Unversed.
"Fire!" Terra released a fire ball from his Keyblade at the Red-Hot Chili Unversed, then turned to face the Scrapper Unversed. "Blizzard!"
A blast of icy wind slammed into the Unversed, taking them out just several more appeared to attack Terra. However acting on instinct Terra raised his Keyblade up and a giant glacier appeared around him, freezing and spearing all the Unversed surrounding him before they could even react.
"Wow…" Marceline whispered as the Unversed vanished. "That weapon…"
Terra looked down at his Keyblade and saw that it had changed. "My Keyblade…"
He didn't realize that his Keyblade had transformed during the battle. The overall design is modeled after the crystals he had seen in the Forbidden City. The handle was brown and seemingly made of wood. The guard was circular and decorated by seven crystals, three white ones, two yellow, and two blue. The base of the blade is adorned by a silver flying vehicle decorated with crystals in various shades of blue and yellow.
The blade is made up of a short mine track with four crooked planks nailed onto it. A small pickaxe is attached to the head of the Keyblade in the same manner as the planks, forming the Keyblade's teeth. The Keychain is a beige cord that connects to the token, a red jewel.
'Treasure Trove…' A voice whispered in Terra's mind.
"It transformed…I remember Master Eraqus saying that Keyblades have the power to take on many forms." Terra whispered.
"That weapon, it's a Keyblade isn't it?" Terra turned around and saw Marceline floating a few inches from his face.
"Whoa!" Terra stepped back in surprise. "You…You know about the Keyblade?"
"I'm a Vampire, I can live for a long time and I've seen a lot of things." Marceline leaned in close to Terra's Keyblade. "My parents told me stories of a group of warriors wielding key shaped swords that were considered holy weapons against the Darkness during the Mushroom War. My father even tried to suck their souls out but he lost. That was probably the first and only time the Lord of Evil was defeated by a mortal."
"Your father?" Terra asked.
"Yeah, as the Lord of the Nightosphere a weapon like the Keyblade would really drive him nuts." Marceline said with a smile. "Now I understand, you're not from this world. The Keyblade can unlock the boundaries between Worlds."
"You're right…it can." Terra said as his Keyblade disappeared. "I'm guessing this is the first time you've seen a Keyblade."
"Should I have seen one before?" Marceline asked rhetorically.
"I'm looking for someone with a Keyblade like mine. I was wondering if he had been here." Terra explained.
"Ain't seen anyone with a weapon like that before." Marceline floated back. "But we could always go and look around. The world's a big place but luckily for you, I've been to them all."
"It could be dangerous. What about those creatures?" Terra pointed out.
"Weren't you the one who told me to stay strong?" Marceline retorted with a smirk.
"Uh…Oh, I guess I did." Terra sheepishly admitted.
"Don't worry about little old me. I've done my share of adventures and I was getting bored around here anyways. Want to take a trip around the Land of Ooo?" Marceline asked.
A knock at the door cut Terra off before he could answer.
"Wow. I'm getting a whole lot of visitors today, aren't I?" Marceline chuckled as she floated to the door.

"Princess Bubblegum, you have a letter." A royal messenger called out. "It has a Royal Seal on it!"
"Very well." Princess Bubblegum stood up from her desk and opened the envelope. "Let's see…"
Xxx
Marceline opened the door but saw no one was there. "Hm, was someone there?" She looked down at the envelope in front of her. "A letter?"
"A letter?" Terra asked.
Xxx
"A letter?" A young girl with long flaming orange hair, yellow orange skin, while wearing a flaming orange dress asked as a letter was presented to her.
Xxx
"Ooh! A letter!" A purple cloud with a face exclaimed in a somewhat deep, nasal voice as she opened the envelope she found.
Xxx
The moment each letter was opened all of the Princesses that opened them were enveloped by a pillar of Darkness and vanished into thin air.
Xxx
"Marceline!" Terra shouted as Marceline was enveloped in Darkness. He spotted the letter on the ground and picked it up.
YOU WANT TO SAVE HER? THEN COME TO THE ICE KING'S PALACE.
'Ice King's Palace?' Terra questioned. 'Is he responsible for this? Maybe he's connected with the Unversed…and maybe he's seen Master Xehanort.'

"So we're actually going to go this stupid wedding?" Noah groaned as he and Gwen followed Finn and Jake to the Ice King's castle.
"We have to, Noah. The Ice King thinks love is eating your wife." Finn replied. "We got to go and make sure he doesn't eat the princess."
"Which Princess is he marrying anyways?" Gwen asked.
"I have no idea. You got to wonder what kind of woman would marry the Ice King." Jake the Dog answered.
"Yeah, considering all the time he spent kidnapping princesses." Finn agreed. "How could someone love a guy like that?"
"You'd be surprised by who just who could fall in love with who." Gwen replied. "For all we know the woman is just as crazy as that ice loony is."
"Pray for the safety of the universe." Noah mumbled.
The trek through the Grass Lands to the Ice King's Castle apparently would last for half a day which is not something that made Gwen totally happy. She had wanted to take Noah back to the Land of Departure where he would be safe under Master Eraqus's care but she had been tasked with looking for threats from the Unversed.
"So Gwen, where did you come from?" Finn asked, glancing at the dark/blue haired woman. "You come from the same place as Noah?"
"Yeah. He and I came from the same world. It's been a while since I've seen him." Gwen answered with a small smile.
"Do you know where? I'd love to see a place full of humans." Finn stated eagerly.
"Sorry, Finn, it's a long journey and I haven't been home for two years. I still have to find the rest of my friends." Gwen sadly shook her head.
"That's cool, I guess." Finn replied, not looking very disappointed. "Maybe Jake and I can help out. Jake can sniff out anything. If he sniffs us out he could find your friends."
"How would I do that? I thought all humans didn't smell alike." Jake pointed out.
"No but they have sweat and hair. So just smell for that stuff and you'll find more humans." Finn explained.
"Oh, that makes sense." Jake admitted.
"You see what I had to put up with?" Noah whispered to Gwen who could only shake her head.
Finn and Jake seemed to be a little crazy and annoying but it was nothing compared to a few annoyances Gwen and Noah remembered back on their world. It was nothing Gwen couldn't handle while Noah seemed to be almost ready to tear his hair out. Most likely because he hadn't had two years of training with magic and stuff to get used to this like Gwen did.
"So what happened? How'd you guys get separated?" Finn asked.
Gwen looked hesitant to speak for a moment. "There was…a storm. It was the biggest storm I had ever seen. It literally blew everything away and when I came to a lot of people I knew were gone but they weren't dead. I found out that they were lost so I trained for the last two years to try and find them. Noah's the first one I found and I'm hoping he's not the last."
"Me too." Noah nodded.
"Wow. So you're an adventure." Finn smiled.
"I guess you can call it that." Gwen shrugged with a small smile. "At least it's better than-"Gwen stopped walking as her face became grim with alertness in her eyes.
"What is it?" Noah spotted the alert look on Gwen's face.
"We're not alone." Gwen answered, summoning her Keyblade.
"What do you-GAH!" Finn yelped as two rat looking monsters came out of the ground ant attacked.
"Thunder!" Gwen shouted, releasing a bolt lightning from her Keyblade that hit both creatures and knocked them down.
Gwen quickly attacked the one on the right, delivering a few slashes that knocked the creature on its back and finished it off with two more blows. Gwen then turned to the other one that managed to get back up and lunged at her but Gwen battered it away with her Keyblade.
"Spellweaver!" Gwen shouted and her body glowed bright blue.
"Whoa!" Finn and Jake gaped as Gwen leapt into the air and threw her Keyblade at the creature, striking it and then catching her Keyblade to deliver a blow from above. She then threw her Keyblade that spun around her, hitting the creature before it flew back into Gwen's hand and she fired a blast of blue light that destroyed the creature instantly. However Gwen's troubles weren't over as three more creatures appeared behind her. One looked like the first two while the other two were slightly taller with three fingered claws for hands.
Finn and Jake almost leapt into help her but Gwen spun around, directing her Keyblade to the one to her left, delivering several blows that knocked it down.
"Freeze!" Gwen fired an ice shard that finished off the creature before catching her Keyblade and began spinning, releasing a spinning spiral of light from her Keyblade held above her head that surrounded her. She spun forward, catching the last two creatures in her light that instantly destroyed them.
"Whoa!" Finn's jaw hung open. "THAT IS SO COOL!"
One creature survived and tried to sneak up on Gwen once she finished spinning but Gwen spun around and with two slashes the creature exploded into a purple mist that vanished a second later.
"Is everyone all right?" Gwen called out once the creatures were gone.
"We're fine." Finn said as he ran up to Gwen. "But what were those?"
"I think they're called the Unversed." Gwen looked around warily. "I don't know where they came from but they're supposedly manifestations of negative feelings and they are a great threat to the world. I'm trying to find out where they came from but this is the first time I've seen them."
"Negative feelings, huh?" Noah asked as he walked up. "So they're not like the Heartless?"
"Similar but different." Gwen nodded, "I thought they might show up because they're after a specific group of people, maidens called the Princesses of Heart,"
"Princesses? Maybe they're after the Princess the Ice King is marrying." Jake suggested.
"Could be." Gwen shrugged. "That's why I wanted to come along and visit the Ice King's palace. He might be the cause of this."
"I knew it!" Finn held a fist in the palm of his hand. "I knew that Ice King was up to no good!"
Any further conversation was cut off as three more Unversed appeared, looking exactly like the earlier ones and tried to attack.
"Come and get me!" Finn shouted as he pulled his sword out and charged at the nearest Unversed.
"Finn wait!" Gwen said as she jumped forward. A barrier enveloped Gwen as she flew forward and crashed into one Unversed and sent it flying into the ground. 'Barrier Surger!'
Finn slashed wildly at an Unversed that had clawed hands but the creatue blocked his strikes as a Flood tried to sneak up on him.
"Finn get out of the way!" Gwen shouted as she pointed her Keyblade at all three Unversed.
Jake stretched an arm and quickly pulled Finn out of the way.
"Thunder!" Gwen shouted, shocking all three Unversed.
Taking advantage of their disorientation Gwen slashed the Flood on the right while Finn stabbed his sword in the gut of the clawed Unversed, killing it. The last Flood sank into the ground and when it was in front of Gwen it leapt up to claw at her face Gwen activated her Spellweaver ability again, leaping up over the Unversed and landed safely on the ground. Gwen then spun around and spun forward as as the light from her Keyblade surrounded her in a spiral fashion again, destroying the last Unversed instantly.
"We did it!" Finn punched a fist onto the air as Gwen stopped spinning. "We took them down!"
"Hurray." Noah said unenthusiastically as the group regathered, "Still though, these creatures came out of nowhere. I wonder why. From what I heard the Unversed aren't sentient and the fact that they attacked us when one of us has a weapon that can defeat them while on our way to the Ice King's palace is suspicious."
"You think the Ice King sent them?" Jake asked.
"Not the Ice King. Gwen you mentioned Heather having a Keyblade, right?" Noah asked.
"You think Heather sent them?" Gwen pondered.
"We don't have much to go on here but I think someone's pulling the strings of these things. These Unversed things had to come from somewhere right." Noah pointed out.
Gwen frowned as she understood what Noah was trying to say. "Let's get to the Ice King's palace."
Xxx
Terra stopped as he observed the Ice Kingdom in the distance as he stepped off the grassy ground and into the snow. The Ice King's castle was basically an icy mountain capped with snow, surrounded by smaller mountain.
"This must be the place." Terra said as he slowly walked towards the mountain, spotting penguins walking about along the way.
It didn't take long for Terra to reach the entrance which was basically a giant icy door that was open and allowing anyone to walk in. Seeing no guards Terra walked into the castle and looked at the giant icy hall that led deeper into the castle.
"This castle's huge. It might take me a while to find Marceline." Terra said softly.
Terra would soon realize it would take longer to find Marceline as Flood Unversed appeared in front him, ready to attack. Terra summoned his Keyblade in its new form and pointed his Keyblade above them.
"Magnera!" The Unversed were lifted into the vortex of energy, completely vulnerable as Terra jumped and attacked with a Fire spell, taking them out in one shot.
One Flood appeared behind him but Terra spun around and took it out with a few well placed slashes. Turning to look forward Terra was greeted with the sight of two Scrappers and a Bruiser standing in his way.
"Thunder!" Terra shouted as he rushed forward, shocking the Unversed and destroying the two Scrappers while the Bruiser was disorientated. 'Firestorm!'
A fiery aura surrounded Terra as he attacked, his Keyblade cutting and burning through the Bruiser like a hot knife through butter. A third Scrapper leapt at him but he cut it down with only two slashes. More Unversed appeared to attack him as he ran down the icy hall but Terra released a Thunder Spell that scattered them and then slashed through the crowd with his fiery Keyblade. A feeling of power overtook Terra as he leapt into the air and swung his Keyblade down as more Unversed appeared, only to be incinerated by a barrage of fireballs from Terra's Keyblade.
A moment later Terra finally reached the end of the hall and opened the doors so he could he could walk into a large icy chamber with a grand set of stairs leading up. And blocking those stairs were three Bruiser Unversed, reading to punch Terra's lights out.
"Magnera!" Terra used his Magnera spell to attract two Bruisers while the third one turned and ran to avoid getting caught.
A quick Thunder spell and a few slashes destroyed the captive Unversed allowing Terra to turn his attention to the third Bruiser as charged at him. Terra raised his Keyblade and used a Barrier spell to block the punch aimed for his head. The force of the Bruiser's fist was sent right back, forcing the Unversed to stagger back and allowing Terra to finish it off with a single slash. Terra then dashed up the stairs, barely slowing down as two Red Hot Chili Unversed appeared in his way.
"Freeze!" Terra fired an ice shard at the one on the left and dashed towards the one on the right, knocking it back with a single slash as the ice shard destroyed the one on the left. Once he was at the top of the stairs he was surrounded on all sides by Flood Unversed but at this point Terra had enough. "Critical Impact!"
He leapt into the air as he was engulfed by a bright light and slammed his Keyblade into the ground as he fell back down, unleashing a shockwave that destroyed all the remaining Unversed instantly. Terra stood up and saw that there no more Unversed coming out to attack him so he walked forward. As he made his way up the castle he heard voices.
"Hello!"
"Save me Finn and Jake!"
"Help us!"
Terra quickened his pace and ran up the stairs into a large icy room. "Hello?"
"Terra!" Marceline's voice called out.
He spotted Marceline in a jail cell with a large group with her who all cried out with female voices. "Marceline, are you all right?"
"Yeah. We're all good, just stuck here." Marceline said as she put her hand between the bars of the jail cell and she was repelled by a small explosion of Darkness. "What was in that letter?"
"I don't know but one thing I know for certain is that whatever it was used Darkness to bring you here." Terra said as he walked up to the cell.
"Darkness? So it had something to do with those creatures?" Marceline questioned. "But I can't believe the Ice King would be a part of this. No matter how much of a maniac he is he doesn't have any kind of Darkness inside him."
Terra pointed his Keyblade at the cell door and a small beam of light emerged from his Keyblade, destroying the Darkness and opened the door. "Is everyone all right?"
"We are fine. Thank you." A young woman with long pink hair, pale pink skin, and wore a pink dress with a crown on her head said gratefully as she stepped out of the cell. "But who are you?"
"My name is Terra. I came to help Marceline." Terra answered.
"Thanks, Terra." Marceline floated out of the cell and around Terra. "Looks like I owe you another one."
"You don't owe me anything but we better move. This castle is crawling more of the Unversed." Terra replied. "Tell me something. Have any of you ever had a problem with these monsters?"
"No but I have heard word of these monsters from other kingdoms." The pink princess answered, looking to a few other princesses who nodded in agreement. These creatures began to appear shortly after a boy in mask arrived in Ooo. Those that saw him said the monsters obeyed his every command."
"A boy in a mask?" Terra frowned. "Do you know where he is now?"
"Well…No." The princess shook her head. "I don't believe anyone has seen him since then. To see them assisting the Ice King is troubling."
"I see." Terra put a hand under his chin. "Everyone stay behind me and I'll lead you all out."
Everyone said yes or nodded as they followed Terra out of the cell and walked down the stairs. Terra stayed on high alert as he led the group of princesses down the stairs, keeping an eye for anymore Unversed. Surprisingly enough when they reached the Foyer there wasn't any Unversed waiting for them but they saw the Ice King with someone who was tied up and wearing a wedding dress on an ice pyramid, looking like he was about to get married while near the entrance was….
"Gwen!" Terra called out.
"Finn and the Jake!" The pink princess called out.
Xxx
"You know, even though the Ice King is a wad, I'm pretty happy for him." Finn said, wearing a black bowtie around his neck.
"Uh-huh. This wedding looks, lame man." Jake said, looking around the foyer and observing the ice pyramid the Ice King stood on with the bride and the Ice Priest. "Be prepared to be bored out of your mind."
"My thoughts exactly." Noah drawled.
When Gwen came here to see the so called Princess the Ice King was marrying she was a little weirded out by the so-called tradition of the wedding.
'The bride is tied up at the wedding? What loony world did I land on?' Gwen wondered.
"Gwen!"
"Finn and the Jake!"
The people whose names were called out looked up to see Terra and the Princesses come down the stairs.
"Princess Bubblegum?!" Finn and Jake said at the same time as they ran up to her. "What are you doing here? Did you all come for the wedding?"
"Uh no!" Lumpy Space Princess answered. "The Ice King, like totally, kidnapped us!"
"What?!" Finn and Jake exclaimed.
"Isn't that why you're here? So you can like, save us?" Lumpy Space Princess asked.
"We came here because the Ice King was marrying someone who wanted to get married to him and we came to make sure everything was cool." Finn replied.
"Someone wants to marry the Ice King?" Almost all the Princesses asked at the same time.
"Terra!" Gwen smiled as she walked up, followed by Noah. "I've been looking for you."
"What are you doing here?" Terra asked as he walked down the stairs.
"Terra, Mike ran away from home." Gwen said with a concerned look on her face.
"What?" Terra stopped.
"I think he left to go find you." Gwen explained. "Do you have any idea why?"
"No…" Terra shook his head but then remembered something. "Actually…Just before I left he tried to tell me something." Terra walked past Gwen and stopped after a few steps. "I should have listened to what he had to say."
"Oh…" Gwen looked down at the ground for a second. "So…Did you manage to locate Master Xehanort?"
"No but it seems he's looking for pure hearts filled with light." Terra answered.
"Pure hearts…" Gwen repeated softly. "Filled with light."
"All that I can tell is that his search hasn't taken him here." Terra said as he turned around. "Right now I have to help these Princesses escape."
"All right." Gwen nodded. "All right, I'll stay and see if I can find more clues."
"Okay. The Ice King might have some answers." Terra replied.
Gwen spotted the Ice King who started laughing. "Something tells me we're about to find out."
"Finn, Jake, Noah, and uh…." The Ice King stopped when he saw Gwen. "Do I know you?"
"No." Gwen answered.
"Oh and all the princesses! You made it!" The Ice King said happily when he saw the Princesses. "Oh, when I was told you'd all come to see me get married I said they were crazy but you did show up! This just makes me so happy!"
"Ice King, did you kidnap these Princesses?" Finn asked with a scowl on his face.
"What? Why would I do that? I'm getting married to her!" The Ice King pointed at his bride. "Now please be quiet! I'm almost done tying her up!"
"Is this really traditional?" Gwen asked.
"This is a traditional wedding for ritual in the Ice Kingdom. You see, she'll be hoisted up and then lowered down, and when she touches my beard, she'll be my queen!" The Ice King giggled in excitement.
"Well…Cool man." Finn shrugged. "I'm glad you're all happy…being crazy together."
"Thank you! Excuse me as we finish preparing for the nuptials." The Ice King replied. "Two, four, eight, sixteen, twenty, uh…"
"Thirty two." The Ice Priest answered.
"Yes, thirty two, sixty four, one hundred and…eh." The Ice King shrugged and decided it wasn't worth it.
A Penguin lifted the bride's veil, showing her face to everyone as she opened her eyes. When Gwen saw the person's face her eyes nearly fell out of their sockets. "That's-"
"Huh? Her eyes are huge! I'm gonna go check them out!" Finn stopped when he saw Jake scratching his ear. "And stop scratching your ear man, it's gross."
"It wasn't me. It was my foot, dude." Jake retorted.
"What's wrong?" Terra saw the look on Gwen's face when bridge's veil was lifted. "You look like you've seen a ghost."
"That's because I have." Gwen narrowed her eyes at the Ice King. "That's no princess!"
Finn walked up to the bride. "Whoa, you've got ridiculously large eyes, princess! Are you allergic to something?"
The princess seemed to tear up. "No, Finn. I was born like this."
"Why are you crying?" Finn asked.
"I'm not crying, Finn. My tear sac is broken!" The bride answered.
Finn leaned in close and noticed something in her eyes. "Help me!"
"What?!" When Finn saw her eyes he could have sworn he saw the girl behind bars in the bride's eyes.
"I didn't say anything." The bride said.
"That Ice Nut cursed me! You've gotta help me! I'd rather die than marry that loony!" The girl in the bride's eyes shouted.
Finn along with almost everyone gasped.
"That's not a princess!" Gwen stepped forward as she summoned her Keyblade. "What did you do to her?!"
"He tricked me!" Finn realized. "And I was happy for that son of a tod!"
"You know her?" Terra asked.
"She's one of my old friends from our world." Gwen answered, glaring at the Ice King. "You kidnapped and cursed her!"
"Look at her ring!" Jake pointed at the ring on the bride's fingers.

"She fell in love with me the moment I slipped on her engagement ring!" The Ice King wiggled his finger in front of the boy and the dog.
Xxx
"That's what cursed her! Don't worry princess! I'll remove this ring and save your life!" Finn said as he tried to pull the ring off her hand.
"No! She's my love boat!" The Ice King fired ice magic at Finn and Jake but the two dodged the ice blasts.
"No man! You cursed her! She hates you!" Finn retorted.
"That and the fact I know she would never consider marrying you." Gwen walked forward.
"Gwen? Is that you?" The girl in the bride's eyes asked with hope in her voice.
Gwen stared at the bride. "It's been a while, LeShawna."
