Surprise! You bet you didn't expect another update, right? I have been slow in my other stories (sorry if you are following me) so I have to continue working on them. I am so far ahead in this story, that I can't stop writing it! Anyways, here is another chapter.

Before I start, I want to do something a little different in my Kingdom Hearts story that most others have never done (As far as I know). I got this idea from playing Fallout 3. After Sora and the others finish from visiting a world, I am going to have Jason record his travels in holotapes. Now I know in the Fallout games you can't do that. However, I had Jason save up to a dozen holotapes along with a recording machine (a machine that lets you use a holotape to record your thoughts) so that he can use in this travels. Now, the beginning is just a summary about everything so far. So after every world, Jason will record his adventures in them. Sounds like a cool idea, what do you guys think?

Also, I know I said that in the previous chapter I said that Sora and the others will go to Wonderland. HOWEVER, instead of doing to typical Disney version of Alice in Wonderland, I am going to do…American McGee's Alice! But to be more specific…Alice Madness Returns! That's right! I am going to put in the dark, twisted version of Alice in Wonderland into my story! Time for our heroes to experience TRUE madness!

And without any further interruption, let us begin!

Chapter 10

This is my first journal entry of my brand new adventure. Let me introduce myself, I am Jason Washington the Lone Wanderer. Because this will be my craziest, and coolest, journey I will embark, I decide to record my adventures in my holotapes. I've found over a dozen empty holotapes in my travels and decide hold onto them in case I wanted to record my thoughts. I guess going on a quest to save countless worlds counts as something. My journey started when me, Sarah and a handful of Brotherhood members invaded Fort Bannister and took out the Talon Company. But once after that, that is when things started to get weird. The sun started to change and these black creatures that called themselves Heartless appeared and attacked us. They manage to take a few of us out, so I ordered everyone to the fort while I killed the Heartless. But as more and more of these Heartless appear, that is when this ninja in black appeared out of nowhere. We fought against each other, but this asshole kept on kicking my ass. He would have won, but then a weapon appeared before me. It was called a Keyblade, and it helped me even out the odds. I admit it is a strange weapon and didn't look anything like a sword, but it did vanquish the Heartless and helped me kick the guy's ass. But as more Heartless appeared, that is when I learned one of my Keyblade's abilities. When I looked at the sun, that is when a giant Keyhole appeared. And that is when my Keyblade started to act on it's own and points itself at the sun and a beam of light shot out of it and into the sun. Once that happened, the sun returned to normal and all the Heartless disappeared. Just as I thought it was over, the fucking asshole cheap shot me and threw me into a portal.

After falling into an endless abyss, my Keyblade acted on it's own again and it teleported me to a strange world. It was later I found out that I was teleported to a place called Castle Oblivion. When I got there, I met an old man who called himself Ansem the Wise. He told me about the Heartless and other worlds. After he told me everything, he lead me to a room, where he believed there was a Gummi Ship, I guess it was some sort of spaceship. But when I opened it with my Keyblade, it was just an empty room and there only thing that was there was this floating ball of darkness that Ansem called a Corridor of Darkness. He warned not to go in there, but I decided to use my Keyblade on it, and that is when it changed into this grey Corridor. After a brief conversation with Ansem, I rushed into the Corridor and ended up in the Realm of Darkness. There, I met a Keyblade Master named Aqua. And, to be honest, she is smoking hot! Anyways, she told me that she was trapped in this realm and she wanted to escape to save her friends. And it was then when I discovered another of my Keyblade's abilities. Somehow, it can create grey Corridors and I created a way out of the Realm of Darkness. Aqua was very grateful, she made me a promise that if I free her and save her friends, she will teach me everything about the Keyblade and teach me to use magic. We agreed and we left the Realm of Darkness.

After we left, we arrived in a strange world, where I believe was the world where Organization XIII, a group of Nobodies that Ansem told me, resigned in. After looking around, and fighting off Nobodies, we encountered a witch named Maleficent and a giant fat cat name Pete. Seriously…I saw a giant fat cat talking! When me and Aqua heard that they control the Heartless, I took out my sniper rifle and aimed to kill. But when I was about to kill them, Aqua knocks my weapon away and pinned me to the ground while Maleficent and Pete got away and went to Radiant Garden to create more Heartless. As I joke about Aqua getting to second base with me, she told me that Keyblade Wielders do not kill. After a heated argument, we looked around and found a lot of potions. And that is where we meet Sentinel, an experimental Nobody that was created to serve the Organization. But because he became aware of what the Organization plan to do to him, he rebelled, but was sealed away. So, after I propose him to help us, he said that he will help us in exchange for his freedom. When I freed him, he fused with me and granted me new powers to use. After we freed him, I opened a Corridor and me and Aqua left that world.

When we exited the Corridor, we ended up at Castle Oblivion. I didn't know why my Keyblade took me there at the time until Aqua informed me that one of her friends, his name was Ventus or Ven for short, was in the castle asleep. When we got into the castle, Ansem saw us and we went to a secret room where Ventus was. Seeing Ventus asleep, Aqua got heartbroken and she left the room crying. And to be honest, my heart broke too. So once Aqua left the room and Ansem followed her to cheer her up, Sentinel informed me that Ven's heart was missing and Sentinel is able to track it down. Once he got a locked on it, I traveled to another world. There I met, Sora and Kairi, but at the time I didn't know who they were. They quickly assumed I was a Nobody and attack me. In my experience in the Capital Wasteland, I fought back and kicked their asses. Sentinel informed me that Ven's heart was inside Sora and I used my Keyblade to extract Ven's heart from Sora. After a little more fighting, I manage to get Ven's heart, I gave Kairi a bottle of Elixir and went back to Castle Oblivion. Once I got there, I returned Ven's heart and he woke up. When Aqua saw this, she broke down, hugs me and thanked me.

After Ven rested up, we headed to Radiant Garden and searched the place. After fighting a few Heartless, we split up and went into our search. After a while, nothing happened until the sun changed. Knowing what's going to happen, I looked around until I found Aqua. Before we went to get Ven and Ansem, Maleficent appeared and told us that Xehanort sent her away so that he can take on Sora and take Kairi away. Now, it is a complicated story to explain in this holotapes, but long story short, an old man name Xehanort possessed Terra, the last of Aqua's friends. So while Aqua went to fight Xehanort in hopes to free Terra, I stayed behind to fight Maleficent. I admit, she was a tough one, but I manage to kill her. After I killed her, I met Riku and I told him about Xehanort and we went to the marketplace. Once we got there, while Riku guarded Sora and Kairi; me, Aqua and Ventus fought against Xehanort. That is when Xehanort saw my Keyblade and called it the Kingdom Sword, a Key from the Realm of Twilight. He told me that my Keyblade brings the Light and Darkness together. After we all fought against Xehanort, it was taking a long time to defeat him until I had an idea to free Terra: if my Keyblade brings the Light and Darkness together, why not separate them? So, as Aqua and Ventus distracted Xehanort, I got close and used my Keyblade on him. So, long story short, I freed Terra from Xehanort, the old man escaped and I sealed the Keyhole. And I fainted…shut up.

Once I woke up, that is when I was informed of everything: the one behind all the invasions was an emperor name Shao Kahn, who has teamed up with Xehanort to take over Kingdom Hearts, the heart of all worlds. Man that is heavy. Anyways, to sum everything up, me, Aqua, Ventus, Terra, Sora, Kairi and Riku were given the chance to travel around to save the worlds. This is really exciting. As I told my new friends, in my time in the Capital Wasteland, I am always prepared for anything.


"What the fuck is this place?!" Jason cried.

The Seven Keyblade Wielders have arrived in a world hours after. Out of everyone, only Sora knew what world they were in: they were in Wonderland. And since they were in Wonderland, Sora knew that Alice, being one of the Princesses of Heart, this would be an easy trip. But, something was wrong with Wonderland this time around. Before when Sora came here with Donald and Goofy, this world was bright, colorful and a bit crazy. But this time, Wonderland felt…dark. The environment around had a darker color to it, there were a few giant mushrooms, there was water coming from up the road and there were giant flowers, not like the ones before, these ones were fully blossomed. But when they all looked up and saw the sun, they saw it was black with fire around it. They knew that Shao Kahn's men are here. Still looking around, everyone looked and Kairi asked "Where are we?"

Sora replied "We must be in Wonderland. This is where we will find Alice."

"One of the Princesses of Heart?" Riku asked, "This will be a cake walk."

As the seven of them walked up the road, Aqua turns to Jason and Kairi and asked "So while we walk, do you two remember the spells I taught you?"

Before they arrived to Wonderland, Aqua decided to train Kairi along with Jason. Jason, of course, agreed with it and Aqua taught Kairi both the Fire and Blizzard Spell while she taught Jason the Blizzard Spell since he already knows the Fire Spell. Both Jason and Kairi nodded and Kairi said "We got it."

While walking around, Terra then said "Something is wrong with this place. It feels…"

"Like it has Darkness," Riku said, "Yeah, I know the feeling all too well."

As each of them summoned their Keyblades, they made their way into the forest. As they all continue walking into the forest, that is when Heartless started to appear: there were a 5 Red Nocturne, 5 Blue Rhapsody, 5 Yellow Opera, a dozen of Shadows and Soldiers and three Large Bodies. Seeing the Heartless, everyone charged at the Heartless. Seeing the Red Nocturnes everywhere, Jason aims his Kingdom Sword Keyblade and used a Fire Spell to fire a fireball at one. However, when the fireball hits one of the Red Nocturne, instead of killing it, it absorbed the fireball. Confused by this, Jason asked "The hell? Why did that one not die?"

Sora looks at him and said "That won't work! The reds ones are immune to fire, the blue ones are immune to ice and the yellow ones are immune to lightning."

Jason nodded and said "Thanks for the tip!"

Now knowing what to do, Jason aims his Keyblade at the Red Nocturne and used his Blizzard Spell to fire a blast of ice at it and ends up killing it. After he kills it, he quickly looks to his left and saw a Large Body charging at him with it's belly at him. Jason quickly rolls out of the way as the Large Body rushed past him, he switches his Keyblade to his Rechargeable Laser Rifle, aims it at the Large Body's back and fired countless shots at it until it died and disappeared into thin air. Seeing the Soldiers rushing to him, Jason held one of his 10mm Pistols in his with his left hand while he summoned his Kingdom Sword with his right hand and started to slash and shoot at the Heartless, causing them to disappear into thin air.

Sora swings his Kingdom Key Keyblade at the Soldiers and Shadows that were near him. As more and more showed up, Sora used his Magnet Spell to attract the Heartless to the ball of light, leaving them open for an attack. Seeing a chance to attack, Sora leaps into the air and starts slashing at the Heartless, killing them on the spot. Once the Magnet Spell wore off and Sora landed on the ground, he saw more Shadows emerging. Sora then held his Keyblade in the air, used his Lightning Spell and unleashed multiple lightning attacks on the Shadows and destroyed them on the spot.

Just near him, Kairi was swinging her Destiny's Embrace Keyblade at the Soldiers on the ground while dodging attacks from the four Red Nocturnes. Once she finished attacking the Soldiers, Kairi focus her attacks on the Red Nocturnes. And because the Red Nocturnes were flying around and now staying still, Kairi decides to use her new spell to attack the Red Nocturnes. As Kairi was concentrating, Kairi held her Keyblade and used her Blizzard Spell to send multiple blasts of ice at the Red Nocturnes. She managed to kill two of them, but the other two were flying around her, trying to land a clean hit. Kairi smirked as she leaps into the air, spins her body and managed to slice the remaining Red Nocturnes.

Riku held his Way to Dawn Keyblade as he charged at the group of Shadows and Soldiers. Once he was near them, Riku slashed and killed the Heartless that were in the way. When he saw more Soldiers appearing, Riku held out his left hand and used his Dark Firaga Spell and unleashed a wave of dark fire at the Heartless. Once he used his spell, Riku managed to take out the Heartless that were present. When more Soldiers and Shadows appeared, Riku grips his Keyblade and continues his attack.

Aqua held her ground as she was surrounded by the Blue Rhapsodies, Yellow Operas and more Red Nocturnes. As Aqua held her ground, the Red Nocturnes, Blue Rhapsodies and Yellow Operas all fired their fire, ice and lightning attacks at her. Once the attacks were near her, Aqua raised her Rainfell Keyblade and used her Reflect to cover herself in a dome shield and reflected the Heartless' attacks back. As some of the Heartless got out of the way, Aqua manages to take out a few Red Nocturnes and Yellow Operas. Seeing only two Red Nocturnes, Aqua jumps into the air, swings her Keyblade and manages to destroy them. When she looks over and sees three Yellow Operas, Aqua's Keyblade glowed white, threw it at the Yellow Operas like a boomerang and destroyed the remaining Heartless.

Ven was fast on his feet as he dashed through the crowd of Heartless swinging his Wayward Wind Keyblade. Holding his Keyblade in a reverse grip, Ventus upper-slashed a few Soldiers, jumps into the air and slashed them in all different directions. Once the Heartless were killed, Ventus landed as more Soldiers and Shadows appeared. Smirking, Ventus spins his body and created a mini-tornado and pulls the Heartless in. Once all the Heartless were in the tornado, while still spinning, Ventus used his Fire Spell to create a ring of fire and destroyed the Heartless within the tornado. Once Ventus' spell wore off, Ventus landed on the ground and waited for more Heartless to appear.

Terra was slamming his Earthshaker Keyblade at the Large Bodies. Despite having large stomachs that bounced attacks away from them, Terra's strength was far too powerful for the Large Bodies. When Terra swings his Keyblade at the stomach of a Large Body, instead of bouncing the attack away, the Large Body was sent flying away into a group of Shadows and Soldiers and destroyed them in the process. Seeing the Large Body still intact, Terra leaps into the air and slams his Keyblade on the Heartless and destroys it. When Terra got up, the last Large Body charged at him ready to attack. But Terra saw this, held his Keyblade across his body as he stood there as the stomach of the Large Body collided with Terra. Not knocked away, Terra delivers a powerful upper-slash that sends the Large Body into the air, he then jumps into the air and swings his blade countless times at the Large Body. And as Terra's Keyblade glowed orange, he swings his Keyblade downward and sends the Large Body to the ground, caused a huge tremble and destroyed the Large Body in the process.

Once all the Heartless were vanquished, Sora looks at everyone and said "Nice work everyone. That wasn't so bad."

"Wasn't so bad?" Jason asked, "So that wasn't hard?"

Sora shook his head and replied "That was actually easy."

As Jason whistled, Kairi asked "So where do we find Alice?"

Riku then said "This place reeks of Darkness, it will be hard to track Alice."

All of a sudden, a voice said in a chilling tone "Darkness has always reign in this world."

Startled by the voice, everyone looks around as Jason puts his Keyblade away, aims his Laser Rifle around and asked "Who's there?"

Just then, a figure appeared in front of everyone near a tree branch. When Sora saw the figure, he knew that it was the Cheshire Cat, but…his appearance was a lot different than Sora last saw it. Instead of being the fat cat with pink and purple strips, the Cheshire Cat was extremely skinny, almost to the point where you can see the bones, it's fur was dull grey while his paws were light grey, there were black tattoo markings on his right and left front legs. But the most disturbing feature was his face, his eyes were bright yellow and his smile was both creepy and disturbing and it showed his neatly white teeth while there was little blood on his teeth.

Sora raised an eyebrow and asked "Cheshire Cat?"

The Cheshire Cat chuckled and replied "That is right, Keybearer. I am a lot different since we last met."

"What the hell?" Jason asked "A talking cat now?"

Cheshire Cat looks at him, grins more and said "Hmmm, you…you are an interesting one."

Jason raised an eyebrow and asked "Why is that?"

Cheshire Cat replied "Your friends have light in them, though the one with silver hair has darkness in him. But you…lack both. No Light and Darkness in your heart. Nothing more than a grey fog covering your actions. Completely void of it all."

There was a moment of silence until Jason said "The hell is this thing speaking in riddles?!"

Everyone shook their heads as Riku asked "Do you know if Alice is here?"

Cheshire Cat replied "She is, but you would all give up if I were you."

"What?!" everyone shouted.

Aqua then asked "Why is that?"

Cheshire Cat gave a grim chuckle before saying "This place is full of Darkness."

Terra then said "We know that there is Darkness coming here but…"

"Oh no," Cheshire Cat said, "Darkness has always been here after the young Keybearer left Wonderland."

Worried, Sora asked "What do you mean?"

Cheshire Cat replied "This world was created by Alice herself. Everything that goes inside her mind manifests here in Wonderland. But as you can see, there is Darkness everywhere."

Shocked by this, Sora asked "Wait…Alice created this world? How?"

Cheshire Cat replied "One has to be mad to accomplish this."

"Mad?" Ventus asked, "So…Alice got angry or something?"

As Cheshire Cat shook his head, he said "Not entirely. But if you continue down this path, you will not find what you hope to find."

"Jesus Fucking Christ man!" Jason shouted, "Make sense for once!"

Cheshire Cat laughed and said "If you want to find Alice, then you will find her at the Castle of the Queen of Hearts. But know this: The Princess that was full of light has fallen into darkness. The bird that was once in flight has fallen into madness."

And with that, the Cheshire Cat disappeared into thin air. Jason groan in frustration and said "What the hell was that?!"

"I don't know," Terra said, "But what did he mean by that?"

Sora replied "He hardly make sense."

While Jason rubs his eyes, Kairi said "So, are we going to this castle?"

Everyone nodded as they headed to the Castle of the Queen of Hearts. They continue walking into the forest until they come across a large puddle of water with a table on it. And on that table was a small bottle with purple liquid in it and a blue label that says 'Drink Me' on the side. Cautiously, Jason aims his Rechargeable Laser Rifle around and walked towards the table. Once he got there, he picks up the bottle, examines it and said "What's in it?"

Knowing what it is, Sora said "Uh, Jason? I wouldn't drink that if I were you."

Jason looks at him, huffs and said "Please, I drank poisonous things before in the past. What harm can this little bottle do to me?"

With that, Jason pops the cap open and drinks some of it. After drinking it, Jason savors it and said "Huh, it actually tastes sweet. I was expecting something bad to happen."

When he looks at the bottle, he said "There is no warning label on it, so it is safe that…"

All of a sudden, he felt his legs all wet. When he looks down, he saw the water gone up to his knees! Looking around and up, his eyes widen. Somehow, everything around him had gotten bigger! Worried, Jason said "Uh guys! I think I am hallucinating! Everything got bigger!"

Suddenly, Ventus' voice said in a loud tone "Uh Jason…nothing got bigger."

Hearing Ventus' voice loud, he turns around and saw everyone enormous! At that point, Sora laughed, points at Jason and said "I tried to warn you! That bottle shrinks you when you drink it!"

Scared for the moment, Jason, from everyone's point of view, said in a high-pitch voice "That is fucking bullshit! What the hell kind of world offers this shit!"

Hearing Jason's squeaky voice, everyone started to laugh hard. Irritated, Jason said "Oh ha fucking ha! Very funny! Laugh at the guy who got himself fucking small!"

Ventus nodded and said "I know the feeling, man. I've been in your position before."

"So did I," Aqua said, "But only for a short time."

Jason then yelled "Un-shrink me!"

Having his laugh, Sora looks around for the other bottle to make him grow to his normal size, but the bottle wasn't there. Sora then said "Uh…the other bottle isn't here."

Riku then said "What do you mean?"

"I mean there was supposed to be another bottle here to return to normal size," Sora said, "And it is not here."

"Oh that is bullshit!" Jason yelled, "How the hell am I supposed to walk now?!"

Feeling bad for Jason, Kairi walks up to Jason, picks him up and said "Don't worry, Jason. I'll carry you."

As Jason huffed, Kairi opened her left pocket of her vest near her chest and place Jason in it. Sora and the others laughed and Sora said "Dude, do you know how funny you are?!"

Jason glared at him and said "Keep it up, asshole. Being small may not be so bad after all."

Riku asked "Why?"

"Well, for starters," Jason said, "Look at where I am."

As everyone saw that he was in Kairi's pocket, they saw that he was on her left side of her chest. Jason then said "That's right, you asshole. Make fun of me one more time and I am literally one movement away from getting to second base with your girl."

Now knowing what Jason mean, Sora glares at him and said "You wouldn't dare."

"Try me, asshole," Jason said.

Kairi shook her head and said "Enough you two. And Jason, you even think about doing that, you are going to regret it."

Jason waved his hand and said "Fine."

After Jason said that, he sealed the shrinking bottle and puts it away in his Pipboy. Shaking her head, Aqua laughed a bit and said "Let's just continue."

Everyone continued as they made their way to the castle.


The Castle of the Queen of Hearts…

Inside the dark and twisted castle lies the cruel ruler, the Queen of Hearts. However, just like Wonderland, she too has changed. Instead of the fat lady as before, she has a thin body that had curves in all the right places, her face was divine beauty with crimson red lipstick, deep blue eyes and long red hair. She was wearing a black and red dress with red hearts along the end of her dress, long red gloves and black heels. Sitting on her throne chair, she was not alone.

Standing in front of her was another older woman. She had light tan skin with long raven hair with grey sides that reached her lower back and had white-pupils eyes. She was wearing what looked like a one-piece purple bathing suit with the collar sticking up and the sides of her clothes reveal the sides of her breasts and a rag that hang off on her lower-back area. She had grey arm bands with fingerless gloves attached to them, and purple heel boots that reached up to her knees with purple back sides. This woman is Sindel, Queen of Outworld and wife of Shao Kahn.

Still sitting on her throne chair, the Queen of Hearts rubs her chin and said "So…you have come here to offer me a chance to join you and your husband's drive to rule other worlds?"

Sindel nodded and replied "Of course. And if you allow us to merge our world with yours, then you will become something bigger."

The Queen of Hearts thought about it, smirks darkly and said "I like this idea. But know this, if your husband does succeed, I want Wonderland to be my world."

"Very well," Sindel said, "Now onto other important matter. Xehanort informed me that there is a Princess of Heart in this world. Where is she so that my husband and the old fool can have her."

Hearing Sindel say that, the Queen of Hearts bit her lower lip and said "Was she that important?"

Raising an eyebrow, Sindel asked "What happened to her?"

The Queen of Hearts chuckled darkly and said "Well…after I took over Wonderland almost a year ago, I 'changed' her. She never wanted to join me, but I persuade her."

Sindel shook her head and said "You know Xehanort and my husband will not be pleased with this."

The Queen of Hearts shrugs her shoulder and said "True, however…"

All of a sudden, there was a loud, blood-shrieking scream throughout the castle. Curious, Sindel looks around and asked "What was that?"

The Queen of Hearts laughed and said "I believe we will have guests soon. And they can't wait to meet my champion: The Blood-Craving Banshee."

What do you guys think? Pretty good start for the introduction of Wonderland? I hope so. Poor Jason, but don't worry, he will return to normal in the next chapter. And who is this Banshee? Find out next time! Until then, please review!
