Chapter 11

Gummi Ship/Monstro:

Donald was piloting again when a huge whale appears in space, Danae blinks, rubs her eyes, and looks again, " Holy Shit, I am actually seeing a giant space whale. How the hell is it breathing, I thought whale's needed oxygen? "

" Maybe this one has adapted to breathing in something different. " Sora muses, and then they get eaten by said whale.

Danae sighs, " Well, this is a new one for me, eaten by giant space whale. "

Sora has to laugh at that, because she'd been sharing her memories with him as they slept. It was actually very therapeutic for her, though painful for Sora to see her childhood unvarnished. He ached to be able to help her younger self, but he couldn't. Instead he focused on giving his girlfriend what she really needed, acceptance and understanding. Though they were all shocked to find Pinocchio present in the whale. Jiminy was glad to see Gepetto was alright too. Still they were all wondering how Pinocchio ended up here. Sora does go around getting the treasure in the area, and finds another summon gem, this one the Watergleam. That reminded him he had yet to take the Naturespark to Fairy Godmother as well.

When they realize Pinocchio had wandered off the group of technically five go searching for him. Battling their way through Heartless though Sora summons Simba when he and Danae start to get swarmed. He was also using the Kingdom Key at the moment, letting it almost talk to him while he fights. It was the Kingdom Key that reveals a new ability to him, Zantetsuken which Sora falls in love with. Though the Kingdom Key also unlocks another ability for Sora, Blitz, which when chained with Sonic Blade...Sora was doing his own cackling as he fights through the Heartless that kept spawning, though they all had learned Lucky Strike to make it an even higher chance of getting rare loot dropped.

Sora can only stare dumbfounded when Riku shows himself while Jiminy is doing his job and acting as Pinocchio's conscience . " Hello, Sora. Did you forget about me and Kairi? " Riku asks, " You certainly have forgotten how to have fun. "

Danae hits him with a Thunder, " Sora has a sense of responsibility, try it out sometime, Riku. "

Sora slips in front of Danae on sheer instinct, cerulean blue eyes meeting Riku's light green ones, " I see, you've been too busy with Danae, huh? "

" Some things are more important than your own wants, Riku. " Sora snaps, he needed Danae. " I've been searching for you, and Kairi while also battling Heartless, sealing the Hearts of different worlds to try to keep the Darkness from spreading en masse! "

" Excuses, Sora. Everyone back home knew you had a thing for Danae. "

Sora snorts, " Just like everyone knew you have a thing for Wakka. "

Riku spluttered at this, Sora had never actually bantered back, " No I don't. "

Danae smirks, " Riku, Selphie and Kairi were actively pondering on whom tops in your relationship with Wakka. Selphie is adamant you do, but Kairi thinks, and I agree with her on this, that you want to be dominated. "

Riku's face is a solid crimson, " I am not interested in Wakka! "

" Sora, I think he doth protest too much. " Danae muses, Luna had given her several kinds of hentai manga, this included yaoi.

" I agree, besides, I've seen him checking out Wakka when he thought no one was looking. He's just terribly shy. " Sora states.

Thankfully the teens did keep things innocent enough for Pinocchio's young wooden ears. Riku glares at the other two, " Please, Tidus is more likely to hook up with Wakka. "

" Tidus made his move on Selphie three days before Destiny Islands was swallowed by the Darkness. She would not shut up about it. " Danae quickly retorts.

" Ah, Donald, how did they get on this topic anyhow? " Goofy asks.

" They're teenagers. " Donald states.

" Yes, you so owe me for that. I bet that Tidus would make a move on Selphie long before you ever admitted to being attracted to Wakka. " Sora crows.

" I am not attracted to Wakka! " Riku snaps irritably.

" Riku, in comparison to my age group I'm innocent for the most part when it comes to relationships of a romantic nature. I'm learning now, but even I know you have a thing for Wakka! Dear Morganna, speaking objectively Wakka does have a certain appeal, but he's not my type. I happen to like the speedy and agile in a fight type. " Danae says flatly.

Sora can't help it, he busts up laughing at the look on Riku's face. He bends over clutching his stomach with his left arm, keeping his right arm free to attack or defend with, " Riku, you...are so in denial...that you can't even…...see it. " Sora manages to get out, barely.

Riku is so flustered he can't even speak properly, and then Pinocchio gets kidnapped by a Heartless. The teens get serious immediately, Sora sticking with the Kingdom Key while Danae is using Selfless Defender, and she got this nasty feeling she'd be taking a lot of hits. They find the Heartless and Pinocchio, this Heartless' main body is a large, magenta blob with glowing yellow eyes and thin, rounded teeth that resemble prison bars. This body rests on a flower-like base that is violet and aquamarine. A much smaller pink head rests on top of the main one. This second head sports a jagged mouth, glowing yellow eyes, two short, dark purple spikes under its mouth, and a curled, magenta antenna on its head. Two long, aquamarine tentacles sprout from either side of the second head and end in violet "hands" with three fingers, each with a dark purple spike on it. Its Heartless emblem is between its eyes.

" Any ideas, 'Nae? "

" Yeah, summon Genie. I get this feeling we're going to need a lot of healing. Good thing I also took the time to learn Poisona, which cures poisoning. We're so dragging Donald to his teacher to learn Esuna which deals with all kinds of status afflictions for everyone in range when we get done here. " Danae deadpans.

Sora groans, but summons Genie, " Geez, Kid, ya couldn't have summoned me somewhere nice? " Genie asks.

" Goofy, protect Donald, he's our Healer, as long as we have Genie out we have more than enough fighters. " Sora says.

Sora, Danae, and Riku all work together to save Pinocchio, Riku wasn't so far lost in the Darkness he would wish harm on a child. Riku is surprised at the level of teamwork Danae and Sora were showing. When one attacked from the left the other attacked from the right. When one of them went high, the other went low, and they were never too far from each other either. However Sora mistimed a jump, and Danae Teleports in front of him, her Keyblade activating a shield immediately, and Genie sends several magical blasts the Heartless' way as Sora wraps his left arm around Danae, and Teleports them out of there. " Phalanx! "

Riku blinks, he didn't know that spell, what the Hell did it do? He finds out when the Heartless smacks Sora into the wall. His childhood friend was easily able to flip around, land feet first on the wall, and push off. Phalanx apparently reduced the amount of damage you took in a fight. " Bind! " Danae calls out, and then she was right behind Sora, they slash in opposite directions at the same time, Danae had used Teleport to arrive at the same time, and spin around, leaping up into the air, " Thunder Maxima! "

Donald works in the background keeping his party members hale and hearty, though the mage cackles when he sees the double Thunder Maxima slam into the Heartless. It spits out Pinocchio, and fades away. Goofy gains the ability Cheer, and Riku makes off with Pinocchio, again! " Sora, would you be offended if I kick Riku south of the border? "

Sora cocks an eyebrow, " Wakka might object to that. Don't we still have those experimental year long gender switching potions the Twins gave us to test out for them? "

" Where the bloody Hell have you been hiding your Inner Troll anyhow? " Danae demands even as she damn near tackles him.

Sora manages to spin around with her momentum, keeping his feet, " I prefer to administer a subtle kind of Chaos myself, but I won't stop you from being the Chaotic Troll that you are. Like this side of me, huh? "

The kiss she gives him almost dropped him to his knees, and when she ends it Sora barely manages to stay upright, " I'll take that as a yes. Now, let's go save Pinocchio, thanks for the help, Genie. "

" No problem, Sora. " Genie says.

" How are we all doing on items? " Danae asks.

" I'm still loaded up on Hi-Potions and Elixirs. " Sora admits.

" I'm good too. " Goofy states.

" I could use some more Mega Ethers. " Donald replies.

Danae reaches into her enchanted bag, which by this time she had also enchanted to be indestructible, and hands several over, and checks her own supplies, though she does hand Sora a certain potion to use on Riku. Sora smirks wickedly, maybe Riku would own up to his attraction to Wakka if he lost his boys for a year? In Halloweentown Sirius, Remus, Fred and George all perk up, a glorious prank was about to unfold somewhere. What they'd really like is the fact that Sora would share the memories of hitting Riku with that potion as well. Hell. he'd leave copies of his memories with Sirius just in case.

" Riku, how can you justify going after a little kid? " Sora asks.

" He's not a real boy, Sora, even though he does somehow have a Heart. I'm going to use that Heart to revive Kairi. Yes, that's right, I found her, Sora. " Riku says, and thinks nothing of the potion Sora uses on him, until he now she starts to feel top heavy. Riku screams in horror when they look down to see actual breasts, though Danae was frowning.

" How the hell is it fair that Riku gets so blessed anyhow? "

Sora blinks as he looks at her, huh, he hadn't been expecting her to have issues with her looks, " If it makes you feel better I'm more of a leg guy anyhow. "

Danae pauses, and looks at her boyfriend, " That explains so much actually. "

" Are you two really having this conversation right now? " Riku shrieks.

" Yes, yes we are. Don't suppose I could convince you to wear shorts soon, could I, 'Nae? Hell, you can even make sure they're enchanted to handle battling Heartless. " Sora asks.

" I suppose you have earned yourself a reward for good behavior. " Danae muses.

Donald sighs, he supposed it could be worse since he was traveling with teenagers. It's just these teenagers took their responsibility as Keyblade Bearers seriously. He couldn't really blame them for stealing moments when they could. He missed Daisy though Hedwig was nice enough to take letters between them. Sora didn't have anyone to send letters to because his home had been lost to the Darkness, and those that actually gave a damn about Danae had relocated to Halloweentown through the use of a ritual. She could visit whenever she wanted to. Donald was grateful that he had a way to keep in touch with his girlfriend now. He was also realizing that Sora never approached Danae in such a manner as to sneak up on her. He telegraphed his moves in some form, always. In battle they were always aware of each other. Shadow's Light was linked to the Kingdom Key, the Kingdom Key was the Key to the Realm of Light. Shadow's Light was created from the Shadows the Light of the Kingdom of Light created. Danae walked the Shadows created by Light.

Danae actually swears viciously when that same Heartless made a damned comeback, and they had to fight it AGAIN! Once Pinocchio is awake he runs off, heading back to his father. Sora stumbles when he actually gets Poisoned, then Danae was there using Poisona to heal him, " We're working on Barpoison next. "

" Agreed. " Sora states as Danae's eyes and hair frost over, and she grabs the summoning charm for Jack.

Jack Frost blinks as he takes in his surroundings, " Where the Hell are we, Danae? "

" We were eaten by a giant space whale. Care to give me a BIG storm to play with? "

Jack smirks wickedly, " I can do that. "

" Can your storms handle lightning? " Sora asks, seemingly innocently.

" Yeah, I could brew one up like that, why? "

" This thing is really vulnerable to Thunder. " Sora states blandly.

Jack cackles, they were going to combine Cryohelix with Thunder once things reached a fever pitch. How he had found two believers that loved Mayhem like this he would never know, but he was so very grateful for them as well. Having the belief of Two Keyblade Bearers gave him so much more power to work with. He would rub that Easter Kangaroo's face in it, but not even North knew Jack actually knew Sora and Danae. Donald had stars in his eyes as he watches Winter's King summon up a massive Blizzard, and casts Cryohelix with Sora and Danae at the same time. Jack cackles as Riku had fled with the power of darkness once Sora and Danae pursued them. Then a triple Thunder Maxima is cast resulting in a massive BOOM! When the dust settled the Heartless was felled, and the teens earn the spell Stop, " Winter King, please teach me some of your winter magic? " Donald asks respectfully.

Jack smirks, and from where he is King Mickey feels a sense of DREAD. Someone was encouraging Donald's natural Mayhem Causing Streak. Sora also gains a new Keyblade, Winter's Embrace. Being the kind of person he is Sora tries it out as canon fodder Heartless spawn, and finds a thin, but durable sheen of ice on the bottom of his shoes that allows him to skate along whatever surface he was on. Danae was working on the winter powers she gained from Jack giving her his blessing again, and Jack finds himself with three very eager students.

Warren:

E. Aster Bunnymund freezes, he knew this feeling. Frostbite was up to something that would give him no end of headaches. He would run into Minerva McGonagall at Hog's Head Tavern, and they would commiserate with each other over the fact that no one let them have their orderly worlds while trying to drink each other under the table.

Monstro/Gummi Ship:

While Jack is training his students in the ways of Winter Magic Goofy is given a new shield by Jack, Winter's Whiteout, and by the end of the training Donald would have a new wand, Winter's Fury. Sora was just having fun learning new spells, and destroying Heartless. " Time's up, my dear students in the way of Wintry Fun. "

" Man, at least Danae would get to see you. Where I live is far too tropical. " Sora pouts.

" Who said you had to settle back on Destiny Islands, just go back to get what you'll miss after you find a new place to call Home. " Jack points out before he hugs Danae, " He's worthy of you, Danae. "

Sora blinks, and then groans, dear Magic was Jack a brother figure or another father figure? Still, getting Jack's approval was nice, and Sirius didn't care as long as his pup was happy. They make their way back through the whale they'd been eaten by, scavenging for items. They were not going to miss out on anything, though any gummi ship pieces they didn't need they would sell to Cid. Though getting High Jump was cool. They get back into their ship, the teens stretching out on the sofa, they had used a lot more magic than they were currently used to using, Danae nestled in on top of Sora, his right arm free to summon his Keyblade, which he had back to the base form again. They decide to head back to Traverse Town, as they needed a few more spells in their arsenal. Even Donald admitted he needed some more White Magic in his arsenal to balance out the Black Magic, and Esuna would be a good one to learn.

Sora would spar with Leon some more to learn more about the base form of his weapon, though they do hear Chip and Dale inform them that a new tournament was available to them at Olympus Coliseum. Sora sighs, they still needed to do the Timed Trial for the Phil Cup. For the moment he was just going to clock out, and enjoy being able to cuddle with his girlfriend. Danae was already asleep, and he allows himself to follow her under. Besides, spending time with Danae in their mindscapes was fun.

Hogwarts:

Albus Dumbledore frowns as the marriage contract he had made for Danae to marry Ronald Billius Weasley incinerates. The only way that would happen would be if Danae were to have met her True Soul Mate. Of course, while they had been in Halloweentown Sirius had noticed the active Soul Mate Bond between them, and with the help of the goblins filed a marriage contract that met the approval of the teens. Mostly this was just to make sure no one tried anything hinky later on. Of course young Ginevra Weasley would have no problems taking a gender switching potion to get the Potter Heiress with child either. Now he just had to figure out how to get the Soul Mate out of the way.

Mt. Olympus:

Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty is absolutely livid. That meddling old bastard was going to try and mess with True Soul Mates. Not on HER WATCH! This was Ancient Magick, and a part of her Domains! She'd damned well interfere if it meant keeping Sora and Danae together. Her damned nephew could piss off. She goes to her husband, and asks him to forge two new Keychains, one for Danae and one for Sora. She was not going to allow anyone to get in the way of this couple! Until Sora Danae had never even thought she'd get to experience romantic non-familial love! That broke Aphrodite's Heart. Hestia was beside herself with fury that Danae Hellebore Potter's Home was a person, unless you counted Hogwarts. Hera was furious over the fact that her own blood family had treated her as a non-entity!

Traverse Town:

Night has fallen, and the young couple could be found in their room, having locked it with their Keyblades, and Sora spins her around to music only they could hear(Once Upon a December from Anastasia). It was a nice way to unwind, and just be with each other. No fighting Heartless, no training, just them, in the waking world. Danae has a genuine smile on, her eyes glittering with happiness, and Sora finds he has no problem just dancing with her for no real reason other than they could.

Maleficent's Castle:

" You say a potion did this to you, Riku? " Maleficent asks, intrigued.

" Yes. " they answer sullenly, not happy about how their chest strained against their favorite yellow sleeveless shirt.

" Fascinating, I simply must meet the creator of such a marvelous potion. The applications are near limitless. " Maleficent says. Had she known two descendants of hers had created the potion she was interested in...well, she would kick herself for not checking back on the fool Merlin's original world. She would be delighted the descendants she meets are all Chaotic Neutrals, though she will apologize to Danae once they realize the Truth of the matter. Even Maleficent would be appalled at Bellatrix's antics though.
