Chapter X: All Out Battle!: Rumble in the Cave of Wonders

Nightshroud: To answer Mrfipp's question, the new group for a while will be Reyna, Tyson, Namé, and Fayt. Kai will be reappearing from time to time, but he is not part of the group...for now. Hehe, now I got you wondering. K, time for lots of action! Oh, and in case you didn't figure it out, that was Anradin who said that end quote in the last chapter. Also, I'm using the Cave of Wonders from the first KH cuz the one in the second one was pretty sucky in my opinion. Yeah, anyway, on with the chappie!

Reyna coughed as she looked around. She was in a dark cave of some sort. She could hear dripping all around, and saw water all around. She stood and accidentally stepped on something.

"Ouch! Watch it!" said Tyson.

"Oh, Tyson!" she said, helping him up. Tyson dusted himself off before looking around.

"Where exactly are we?" he asked.

"Well, we fell through the sand, then I thought I caught a glimpse of some ancient passage before we fell down this pit."

Tyson rubbed his sore spots before he ventured further out. "I think we can swim through here to get to the other side."

She nodded, and the two plunged into the cold water. As they started swimming, she began to wonder if anything lived in this cold, dark water. Maybe something with large pale eyes, and razor sharp teeth...The thought was enough for her to resurface and scramble for the nearest surface. Tyson's head popped up after her, and he looked at her curiously.

"What's wrong with you?"

She looked embarrassed. "I-uh...was thinking of the kind of creepy things that would llive in this water...and it sorta scared me."

Tyson laughed, then stopped and looked down. He quickly swam for the shore and flopped on the ground next to her. "Better safe then sorry," he said with a grin.

They looked and saw a flight of stairs leading up. When they got to the top, they looked around the open chamber. It was well lit, and was all of a sandy colored stone.

"This must be the Cave of Wonders," said Reyna as she spied the piles of gold along the sides. She suddenly her noises from the next chamber. They ran through the doorway to find Namé, Fayt, and Aladdin fighting a hoard of Heartless on top of a platform on the left. To the right was a yawning black pit that went far down.

" Namé! Fayt!"

"Reyna!" Namé called back. Reyna jumped onto the statue heads on the sides of the platform and jumped up, with Tyson behind her. Bandits and Fat Bandits appeared from all around. A Bandit jumped through the air and sliced his sword down, but Fayt blocked it with his sword, then used his Earth Glaive symbol to blast a group of Heartless off the edge. A Fat Bandit threw itself at Aladdin, but Namé shielded him with a Reflega spell, then blasted it with Blizzaga. Then Aladdin jumped behind her and slashed the Heartless that were ready to attack her from the back. Tyson cut through a Bandit, leaped over a Fat Bandit, slashing down its back as he fell, then sliced through the two Heartless in front of him. Reyna pulled out her whip and spun around, killing all the Heartless around her. Then she blasted the remaining Heartless with Faith. Namé suddenly ran up and hugged her.

"I thought something happened to you!" she said.

Reyna laughed. "Hey, I'm all right. Thanks though." Namé smiled and nodded before Fayt coughed to get their attention.

"I think we'd better hurry," he said in a hint hint sort of way. They both nodded and the five jumped down on the far side and ran through the doorway into a small room with statues. There were piles of gold on either side and heaps of jewels, but they hardly noticed this as they ran to the doorway at the end.

"This is where the Lamp Chamber is. They have to be in here," said Aladdin.

The five nodded and got ready. "Let's go then!" said Tyson.

"So, that's your plan, huh?" said the Unknown, sitting on the ledge near the keyhole. Anradin looked up at him.

"Yes, I suspect that the street urchin will come running for his girlfriend, and I can gain two hearts for the trouble of one."

"Street rat," corrected Jafar.

Anradin looked annoyed. "I'm tempted to use my second wish to make you mute." Jafar grabbed his neck and backed away.

The other Unknown laughed. "Nice one. Huh?"

Anradin looked to see five people run down the steps into the room.

"Hey, it's one of those Organization members with the emblem on their hood," said Tyson.

"Like Valon," said Fayt.

The Unknown stood up. "So, you met Valon, huh? Ah, at Disney Castle, when he took Kelno's heart. This should be fun."

The Unknown moved forward but Anradin put a hand up. "No, this is my show."

The Unknown shrugged. "Have it your way." (at BK!!! hahaha)

The other Unknown disappeared, and Anradin stepped forward. He had black hair that came to his shoulders in the back, and had two long hairs that drooped in front of his face. He wore a black cloth around his lower face, and had grey eyes.

"Jafar!" he called. Jafar appeared next to him as he pulled out his sword, similar to a scimitar in appearance, but with an ornate white hilt with handles on either side. "I am Anradin, Shadow of the Desert Sands. I'm going to bury you!"

"All right, Aladdin and I can take out Jafar. Reyna, Namé, and Fayt can fight the Unknown."

They all nodded, and ran towards their opponents.

Jafar hovered into the air and chanted some words before shooting blasts of fire from his staff. Aladdin rolled to the side and swiped his sword at Jafar. Jafar moved to the side and swung his staff, knocking Aladdin to the ground. He was ready to blast him with another fire spell, but Tyson jumped and hit the staff with his keyblade, throwing the blast off. He then latched onto Jafar's staff, while Jafar tried to shake him off. Aladdin got up and leaped at Jafar's back, knocing them all to the ground.

"Ugh, wretched street rat!" Jafar cursed.

Aladdin grabbed his sword and brought it down on Jafar's neck. But Jafar turned into a small orb of darkness and flew out of reach.

"Hey, no fair!" Tyson said.

Fayt ran at Anradin and stabbed at him. Anradin jumped to the side and lashed out his sword.

"What's he thinking? I'm not even in reach..."

Suddenly the sword shot out like a snake and crashed into the floor, Fayt barely dodging in time.

"What the heck was that?" he said breathlessly.

Anradin landed on the ground and smirked. "You like my sword? Be honored, not many live after the first strike from my Desert Viper."

As Anradin pulled the sword in, Fayt could see that it was made up of swords that were attached end to end and all folded together , but when Anradin lashed with it, they would separate and fly outward like a snake.

"So that's it then," said Fayt to himself.

Anradin lifted his sword and lashed again at Fayt. The sword snaked after him, but Namé quickly came to his aid.

"Graviga!"

The sword was pulled down by the gravity, which allowed Fayt to rush at Anradin. Anradin suddenly let go of the sword and plunged his hands into the sand.

"Sand Wall!"

A wall of sand shot up in front of him as Fayt slashed his blade at him. Then Anradin punched the wall, blasting the sand forward. It knocked Fayt tothe ground, and gave Anradin enough time to retrieve his weapon. He lashed his snake sword at Fayt, but Reyna struck of with her whip, deflecting it back. Namé ran forward and slammed the ground with her staff.

"Spell Impact!"

Anradin was blasted backward into the wall, but immediately whipped his sword out. It snaked outward and managed to slice across Namé's stomach. She cried out in pain and fell to her knees. Anradin lashed again, but Fayt knocked it to the side with his sword. Reyna ran up and checked Namé.

"It's not too deep. Can you heal yourself?" she asked. Namé nodded and tried not to cry.

"I think so," she said through clenched teeth.

Suddenly the sand around Reyna sprang up and encased her.

"Reyna!" screamed Namé.

Fayt looked to see Anradin holding his hand out. "Hehe...the Sand Coffin! And now for the Sand Burial!"

He was ready to close his hand, and therefore bury Reyna, but Fayt used his symbology and hurled ice needles at him.

"Ice Needles!" They flew and imbedded in his hand, stopping him from carrying out his attack. Namé ran over and used Aeroga on Reyna to blow away the sand from her.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks."

Meanwhile, Jafar changed back to his normal form and shot more fire spells from his staff. Tyson dodged them, kicked off the ledge (the ones on either side of the room) and smacked Jafar with his keyblade. Aladdin ran up and slashed at him, but Jafar parried with his staff. Aladdin managed to step to the side and lash out at him, cutting across his cheek. Jafar threw him back, then hovered in the air as he chanted, causing a whirlwind to form. It threw large chunks of ice around. Tyson jumped onto one, cut through another, then dropped down and ducked as another passed over. He looked over to where Aladdin was fighting his way over to Jafar. Aladdin lunged and with all his might brought it across the staff, knocking it to the side. The tornado instantly subsided, and Tyson ran over. Jafar grabbed Aladdin and threw him into the wall, knocking the wind out of him. Jafar then flew into the air and shot a fire blast at Tyson. Tyson jumped after him, knocked the blast away with his keyblade, then powered up the tip and shot off a bunch of energy bullets that fkew off in a circle, then homed in and slammed into Jafar.

"Ragnarok!"

The attack blasted Jafar into the wall, and he screamed out before vanishing away.

Tyson sighed with relief and ran over to Aladdin. "I hope the others are okay."

Anradin jumped onto the opposite ledge and rained blows down with his snake sword. Fayt charged his symbology and said, "Wind Stepper!"

Small whirlwinds appeared around his feet, and he suddenly jumped high into the air and slashed at Anradin, knocking him off the platform. He then ran along the wall and brought his sword down, but Anradin leaped back as Fayt's sword crashed into the sand.

Anradin suddenly teleported over to where Aladdin was helping Jasmine up. He suddenly pulled out his Orichalcos Stone, and the Seal encircled the two. As the seal formed around them, Aladdin suddenly pushed Jasmine. She fell outside as the seal formed completely and the barrier went up around it.

"Aladdin!!"

He smiled sadly. "The Seal only needs one of us, so I'm letting it take me."

"Aladdin, no!"

A red light suddenly shot from the seal, and Aladdin dropped to the ground lifelessly. Jasmine ran over and threw herself on him and began to sob. Anradin stood over her and was about to grab her, when Tyson kicked him from behind. He recovered in midair and flipped over to the platform by the keyhole.

"It's time I bury you forever in the sands! Desert Funeral!"

The Seal of Kronos appeared on his forehead as he raised his hands, and the sand reared up, towering to the ceiling so that they could not even see him anymore.

"Now die!"

The sand came rushing like a huge wave. The others looked up in horror as the sand towered over them. Reyna closed her eyes and suddenly sensed Anradin's darkness.

"Pearl!"

She shot a blast fo light through the sand, which passed through and struck Anradin right in the heart. He collapsed to his knees, gasping in pain. The sand collapsed right where it was, and the four sighed with relief.

"Aaaah!!"

They looked to see the Seal encircle Anradin and take his heart. He collapsed to the ground and vanished. Suddenly the cave began to shake, and sand from the ceiling began to pour in.

"Hurry, we have to seal the keyhole!"

Tyson and Reyna ran over and locked the keyhole, then sealed it.

"Now how do we get out?" asked Fayt. The four and Jasmine, holding Aladdin's body, stood together as the walls began to collapse. Suddenly a burst of blue smoke and a couple of fireworks set off, and Genie appeared.

"Heeeeeeeey!!!! Did I miss anything? Oh no, Al! What happened?"

"Genie," said Jasmine, "We need to get out of here. Get us back to the palace."

"Right!"

The six left the Cave of Wonders as it collapsed and disappeared below the sands of time.

"Kai, I must say I'm disappointed in you. If you had done your job at the Beast's Castle, things might have gone according to plan."

Kai looked away as Amnael watched him. "She's not your light anymore. She cast you aside like a demon of the dark. Think of her no more."

Kai closed his eyes and remembered the way she hugged him at Beast's Castle, and the warmness of her light. Amnael didn't show his surprise as he suddenl felt the light in Kai get stronger.

"He must be thinking of her..."

"Kai."

"Huh?" Amnael felt the light of her memory fade. Kai looked up at him and frowned.

"Well, what is it?"

"I need you to go with one of my other Unknowns. I have a special task for you."

"So that's it," said Jasmine, tears forming in her eyes. Genie sighed and hung his head sadly.

"Poor Al..."

"Jasmine," said Reyna, laying a hand on her shoulder, "We'll find a way to get Aladdin's heart back. You can count on us."

"Thank you."

She nodded and the four went back to the Highwind.

"Do you think it's possible to get Hearts back from the Kronos Seal once they've been taken?" asked Tyson.

"I...I feel that they can still be saved. And that's just what I'm going to do."

Aladdin-

A hero of Agrabah who helped Sora in both his adventures, and lended a helping hand to Reyna and Co. Sacrificed his heart to save Jasmine's, though he might still be able to be saved.

Jasmine-

One of the seven princesses of heart and the princess of Agrabah. She is in love with Aladdin, and was saved by him from the Kronos Seal.

Jafar-

The evil vizier of Agrabah who tried to become Sultan. He stole the lamp from Aladdin and became a genie, but was trapped in the lamp. He was released by Anradin, but met his final demise at Tyson's hand.

Anradin-

Nuimber XII in the Organization. He lured Aladdin to the Cave of Wonders so he could offer his heart and Jasmine's to the Seal of Kronos. He wielded a snake-like sword and the element of sand. He met his demise at the hands of Reyna's Pearl spell and lost his heart to the Kronos Seal.

Nightshroud: Wow, I'll bet Aladdin losing his heart came as a shocker, hehe. Oh, this won't be like the first Organization where everyone dies. Though it might seem that way...oops, not saying any more! Anyway, next chapter will be an unused Disney World! Yay!
