Episode 9
Wanna Build a Sand Castle?
AAAAHHHHH! Sand! It's everywhere!... Haha, I'm just kidding. ^_^
Agrabah! The city of sand! Where sandstorms happen to come at the wrong time just so it could get into your eyes! Nah, I'm still playin' with you guys, but we did land in the desert near the city.
"You'll like Aladdin and Jasmine," Goofy said as we walked to the city. "Agrabah seems to be doin' pretty well since we've been gone."
"Yeah, it looks like it's in pretty good shape," Donald agreed.
I looked at the city and they were right. It did look good, probably because of Genie.
Unexpectedly, I tripped over something and fell into the sand. Agh! It's in my eyes!
"Be careful, Ramona," Goofy said, coming to my side and helping me up.
I rubbed my eyes and looked at the ground to see what I tripped on. A blue thing sticking out of the sand had wrapped itself around my ankle. Well, that explains it. I kneeled down to try peel it away, but then it shot out and grabbed my shirt with the locket.
"Yaagh!"
I tried pulling away, but the blue thing tugged harder on my shirt. Goofy and Donald came to my side immediately and tried helping me pull back. After about three pulls, we were able to pull me away and pull the blue thing out the sand. To my shock, it was an Unversed.
"Unversed!"
It leaped away from us and hissed. We drew out our weapons and were prepared to fight, but something blasted the little blue magot away.
We turned around and saw the blue wish-maker himself.
"Genie!"
"Did somebody call my name?" Genie sang. "Well, if it isn't my two buds! How've ya been? And who's the little lady?"
I smiled at him. "Ramona Konrad."
"Well, happy to meet ya, Ramona Konrad! Can I call you 'Mona'? Whenever I hear 'Ra' it makes me think of the sun god. Come on, let's go see Al. He'll be happy to meet you!"
Kasumi looked at the holographic images of a meadow in its four different seasons. The season she stared at the most was spring.
"Hey, Zexion, what's spring?" she had once asked.
Zexion looked at the girl before walking behind the couch she was sitting on. "Let me show you." He placed his hands on each side of the girls head. "Now I want you to just close your eyes and think of nothing. I'm going to show you what spring is." Kasumi nodded before closing her eyes. "Now imagine yourself in a meadow with a field of flowers." The little Nobody began to smile as she pictured the field. "Now run around the field and feel the wind blow through your hair." She then raised her arms and tilted her body from side to side.
Zexion grinned. "It's nice, isn't it?"
"Mhmm..."
"That is spring."
Kasumi opened her eyes and dropped her arms as she turned her attention to the elder Nobody.
"It is the season of flowers. Not only do the flowers bloom, but also the fruit. There are other seasons like it, only much more different. Summer, the season of the sun. Autumn, the season where the leaves turn colors. And winter, the season of snow. Would you like to see them?"
Kasumi smiled the way a small child would smile at a birthday present. "Yes, show me please!"
Zexion and Kasumi had become close friends back then. Whenever she felt troubled, Zexion was the one to give her guidance. Though she did not have a heart, she felt heartbrokened when Axel had told her what had become of Zexion back in Castle Oblivion and that he was the one who caused his death.
Axel had half expected her to hold a grudge against him, but to his surprise, she had forgiven him and told him that it wasn't his fault.
Wow, this town was a little bigger than I expected it to be. All the shops and stuff, people must be really busy in a place like this.
Well, anyway, as we walked up to the palace, we saw Jasmine standing at the gates. She looked at us then smiled excitedly.
"Donald, Goofy!" she yelled excitedly.
"Your majesty," they both said, bowing down.
They looked at me with wierd looks
"What?" I said. Then I remembered that Jasmine was royalty. "Ah." I did a half bow half curtsy to the princess and she giggled.
"How ya doin', Jasmine?" Goofy asked, standing straight again.
"I'm doing fine," she replied. "Who's your new friend?"
"Her name's Ramona Konrad," Donald answered. "The new Keyblade wielder."
"It's nice to meet you, Ramona."
"It's nice to meet you too, your majesty," I replied with a kind smile.
"So what's been goin' on around here?" Goofy asked. "I heard you and Aladdin were gonna get married."
Oh, wow, just like the third movie where they get hitched. It actually tried to happen here? Damn...
"We were in the middle of getting married," Jasmine explained. "But we were interupted by the King of Thieves and his men."
"Oh, wow," I said in surprise. "That must've been a big pain in the ass for the guards. AND the wedding planners."
Jasmine giggled at that. "Well, there were a great number of them. They've stolen a few treasures from the palace. Aladdin left Agrabah to go look for them."
"Aw, man," I groaned. "We could really use his help."
"Why?" Jasmine asked with a look of concern. "What's wrong?"
I pulled the locket out of my shirt and opened it. "Sora and Yukis bodies are missing, and if we don't find them soon, it'll be too late for us to return their hearts to them." Jasmine became scared at the sight of the hearts, probably because they were Soras and Yukis hearts. "We've already went to four different worlds, but so far we've found nothing. Do you remember when it was the last time you saw them?"
"Yes, we invited them to the wedding and they were trying to help stop the thieves. But unfortunately, they knocked them out and they got kidnapped."
"You haven't seen them since then, have you?"
"No..."
I sighed.
"But maybe if you could find Aladdin, he might be able to help you find some clues within the Cave of Wonders. It's known for it's knowledge on prophecies and riddles, but you'll have to go in it and face it's trials in order to get some answers.
I beamed at this. "Great! Let's get going!"
Kasumi looked outside the tower of Yen Sids castle and watched the moonlight. This brought back the memory of Saix.
She had walked down the halls, just minding her own buisness, when Saix had approached her. When she saw him she got a little nervous, fearing that she might've done something wrong.
"Kasumi, come with me," he said to her. "I'd like to give you my gift."
The little Nobody became confused, but followed the older Nobody as she was told to do. If she wanted to stay on the Organizations good side, then she would have to be as obedient as possible.
To her surprise, they were out on the ledge of the castle.
"Look up," Saix commanded.
She obeyed his command and looked up into the sky to see a full moon.
Kasumi stared in awe. "What is that?"
"The moon... My gift to you, little one..."
So Saix's gift was to show her the moon. She had to admit, the moonlight was very beautiful.
Kasumi turned to the other Nobody with a small grin. "Thank you, Saix..."
He just simply looked away.
When she told Roxas and Axel about this, the red head had become suspicious. Saix had never thought of giving her a nice gift, let alone showing her the moon. In fact, he never even thought about being nice to the little girl at all. So why then?
Ugh, I am so frickin' HOT! And not sexy-hot! I mean burnin' hot!
"Ugh, it's so hot," I whined.
"Would ya care for a glass of water?" Genie asked.
"About two bottles for each of us would help."
"Comin' right up!"
Genie snapped his fingers and two bottles of water appeared into our hands. We drank our first bottles greedily. Hey, you try walking in the desert for six hours! I WAS THIRSTY!
"Hah, that's better," I said in satisfaction.
"Hey, look! I think I see Aladdin," Donald yelled.
I looked at the direction he was pointing at and there was Aladdin himself. We started waving and yelling his name, which had gotten his attention. He smiled and started running towards us.
"Hey, guys!" he yelled. "How's it going?" He stopped in front of us and looked at me. "And who's your new friend?"
"Ramona," Goofy answered.
"Nice to meet you, Ramona," Aladdin said, holding out his hand.
I took it and shook with a smile. "Same to you, Aladdin."
"So what brings you guys here to Agrabah? I'm pretty sure it's not just to visit."
I looked a the others before explaining to Aladdin on why we came to find him, and he took it rather... Well, his expression was one of shock.
"Jasmine said that we might be able to find out where they are in the Cave of Wonders, but we'll have to go through its trials first in order to get the answers. You feel up to it?"
"Absolutely," Aladdin said in determination. "I'd do anything to help Sora and Yuki out."
I nodded with a smile. "Then off to the Cave of Wonders we go!"
Kasumi sat on the clock tower, eating her sea-salt ice cream as she stared at the sunset. This brought back the memory of Axel.
Kasumi watched as Roxas left for a mission and she turned her attention to the red head, who had a smile.
"Come on with me to town, and we'll watch the sunset," Axel said, pointing his thumb behind him.
The little Nobody blinked at him, but followed nonetheless.
Soon they were at the tower watching the sunset.
"Here, sea-salt ice cream," Axel said, handing the girl some ice cream.
Kasumi took it with a smile and nibbled, which was her way of savoring the taste. "Hmmm... Salty, yet sweet."
"It's good though, right?"
"Mhmm."
The older Nobody looked at the younger with an impish smirk before putting his ice cream in his mouth, which was to make his hands free, as he scooped up the little songstress in his arms and set her down in his lap. She had given a squeak when he scooped her up.
Kasumi looked at him and his smirk grew. "Can't have you falling now, can we?"
The little Nobody gave him one last confused look before turning back to the sunset. Kasumi smiled dreamily at the sight, making Axel grin down at her.
"You like your present, babydoll?"
"I do. Thank you, Axel."
"You know why the sun sets red?"
Kasumi shook her head.
"It's because, out of all the colors, red travels the farthest..."
Kasumi looked up at Axel with a tiny grin. "Kinda like you?"
Axel gave her a dumbfounded look, which made her giggle. He pretended to look mad as he saw her game. "Oh, a little smartaleck, eh? That's it, little girl!" He then started tickling her nonstop. "How do you like that! Who's laughing now, huh?"
Kasumi laughed so hard, she felt like she couldn't breathe. "Stop it!"
"Nah-uh! Not until you learn to behave!"
They both continued to laugh as they enjoyed the sunset.
She and Roxas became attatched to Axel when she had first arrived. When she first met the red head, he kept on teasing her on how cute she was. Kasumi felt heartbrokened when she and Roxas had to leave Axel, and watching him die the way he did made her cry within Yukis heart.
"Who dares disturb my slumber...?"
O.O Okay, holy hell. That cave's even bigger than I thought it would be in person.
"State your name," Genie whispered to me.
I gulped before saying. "It is I... Ramona Konrad..."
The cave growled.
"Proceed... Complete these trials and you shall have the answers you seek..."
We all looked at eachother nervously before walking into the caves mouth. As we went further down the steps, I felt Abu climb onto my shoulders and burry himself in my plaid shirt to hide himself from the darkness. I patted his head in an attempt to comfort the poor primate.
Poor little guy. He's scared to death.
The dark figures watched them go through the cave with smirks on their faces.
"Now, brother?" the female asked.
"Now, Serpentine," the male said to a black and blue cobra, who hissed and vanished into thin air.
I was struggling to keep Abu away from the treasures that were here in the cave and eventually handed him over to Aladdin.
"Man, how long has that monkey been obsessed with gold and jewels?" I asked him.
He sweat-dropped and laughed nervously, trying to find and explanation. I just rolled my eyes at him. As we entered the next room, everything started shaking. Then the floor started moving down as if we were in an elevator. Then Heartless began to appear.
"These are the trials?" I said drawing out my Keyblades.
"Unfortunately," Aladdin replied, drawing out his sword.
"Okay then, let's get started!"
We all attacked the Heartless one by one, but a dozen or two kept coming back. Goofy was the first to get knocked out, unsurprisingly. (A/N Idk if that's a word or not, but who cares) Donald followed afterwords and so did Aladdin. Great, I'm alone...
"Man, this is getting us nowhere," I said, panting. "Isn't there a faster way to finish these trials?"
Just then, I started glowing blue and my clothes began to change. The designs were the same as my last transformation, but this time the colors were blue and I developed blue streaks in my hair.
I looked at myself in shock. My Wisdom form!
"Now that's what I'm talkin' about!"
I then started to run without moving my legs, and boy was I movin' FAST! I pointed my Keyblade at the Heartless and started shooting at them one by one. They all exploded from each shot.
This is so freaking AWESOME!
Once all them were gone, I turned back to the others. But before I could take a step, I started to hear a hissing noise. I turned around to see a giant black and blue cobra with its red eyes staring and hissing in my direction.
"Aw, man. You gotta be kidding me," I whined.
Another freakin' Unversed? This is just perfect!
Just as the cobra was about to strike, a black Keyblade was thrown at its head. As it screeched in pain, I looked behind me to see Roxas and Kasumi running up to us.
"You okay, Ramona?" Roxas asked.
"Roxas, Kasumi?" I said. "What're you guys doing here?"
"No time to explain," Kasumi said. "We have a trial to complete, remember?" She pointed at the Unversed as it started to get up from the ground.
Roxas and Kasumi drew out their Keyblades. Roxas' Oblivion and Oathkeeper Keyblades, and Kasumis Keyblades were a little strange. One Keyblade was red with a violin holder, had little demons swirling around the blade like the way the music notes swirled around Yukis Music Note Keyblade, and a red music note for teeth; while the other one was yellow and white with a harp for the holder, little angels swirling around the blade, and a yellow music note for teeth.
Kasumi caught me staring at her Keyblades and smiled a little bit. "The Devils Violin Keyblade and the Angels Harp Keyblade. They represent Yukis relationship with Riku and Kairi."
Roxas had a proud smile on his face.
"Look out!" I yelled, pushing them both away as the cobra struck the ground.
I zipped around the snake in a big circle to avoid getting bitten. Hey, there was a 100% chance that that thing was full of venom and I couldn't risk getting bitten by it!
Roxas and Kasumi kept it busy by dodging its attacks. An idea suddenly hit me as I saw its hood open up.
"Guys, the hood!"
Roxas and Kasumi got the idea and jumped upon the snake to stab its hood. It screeched in pain and tried to wriggle them off. I pointed my Keyblade at it and tried to aim for my target.
"C'mon, hold still," I whispered.
When it finally held still for a little bit, I shot it. As it began to fade, the snake screeched in pain and fell to the ground.
We all started panting in exhaustion, before looking at the two Nobodies, who gave sheepish grins.
