My Pov

I woke up to the feeling of someone shaking me. I remembered where I was and that it was Sora shaking me.

"Hikari, we're almost there." Sora said. The train came to a stop and the doors opened. We all stepped out and looked to see a tall tower. Wait, that was the Mysterious Tower. Master Yen Sid was here! I heard a sound behind me and saw the train vanished. I laughed nervously.

"That's spooky..." I said.

"There goes our ride..." Sora said. We went to the tower entrance, but saw someone peeking into the castle.

"What's goin' on?" Donald asked.

Person: "I sent some of my lackeys inside to see if the master of this here tower's as big and tough as they say. Word is, he's a real powerful sorcerer. Which would make him the perfect bodyguard for me. See, it don't matter how tough he is-once he's a Heartless, he'll do as I say!" Wait, that voice... It sounded so familiar...

"A Heartless!?" Donald exclaimed.

"That's right. They're those things that come outta the darkness in folks' hearts. Why, with all those Heartless at her side, my dear friend Maleficent is gonna conquer everything!" the person said. Maleficent!? It was strange, but I had seen a memory of Sora defeating her. "And since I've got me a debt to pay, I'm goin' 'round to a bunch of different worlds and buildin' a Heartless army, special for her. Why am I talkin' to you pipsqueaks anyway?"

"You should find a better use of your time." I said. The person turned around and the name came back. It was Pete!

"Says who? Wha... AAAH! It's you!" Pete exclaimed.

"Pete!" Me, Donald and Goofy exclaimed.

"You guys know him?" Sora asked.

"Yeah, but... How do you know him Hikari?" Donald asked.

"It was during Disney Town's Dream Festival a long time ago. He was parading around, claiming he was some big shot hero." I said.

"You! You're that little runt!" Pete exclaimed.

"Yep. I was told Minnie locked you away. How'd you escape?" I asked.

"You wanna know how, eh? Well, Maleficent busted me out, that's how! And now your world- no, no, no, all the worlds- are gonna belong to yours truly. Cause Maleficent's gonna help me conquer 'em!" Pete yelled.

"Maleficent... huh." Sora said. We all started laughing.

"What are you laughing at!? Why, Maleficent's power is so great-" Pete said.

"She toast." I said.

"Sorry, but Maleficent can't help ya now." Goofy said.

"What'd ya mean?" Then he pieced it together. "You! So you're the ones that did it!" Pete said. Sora put his hands behind his head and acted like we weren't at fault.

"Well, we mighta had something to do with it."

"Heartless squad! Round up!" Several Shadow Heartless began coming out of the ground. This was what I was use to. We got rid of them in no time. "You just wait! Nobody, and I mean nobody messes with the mighty Pete!" Pete exclaimed.

"So, 'mighty' Pete, who lives in this old tower, anyway?" Sora asked. I knew the answer to that.

"Mickey's teacher, Master Yen Sid." I said. With that, I ran into the tower.

"Hikari, wait up!" Sora called. After going up several flights of stairs and fighting off the Heartless that were in here, we managed to make it to Master Yen Sid. Me, Donald and Goofy bowed when we saw him.

"Master Yen Sid! It's an honor!" Donald said.

"Hey there!" Sora said. My eyes widen in shock. I grabbed Sora by his jacket and pulled him down to where he was bowing.

"Sora, you need to show respect!" I scolded. Master Yen Sid didn't seem to mind.

"So, you are Sora. Now then, have you seen the King yet?" Yen Sid asked.

"Yes, but we didn't really have chance to talk to him." I said. Master Yen Sid explained about everything that had been happening while we were asleep. He also told of the Nobodies and Organization XIII.

"I can't believe we have to go on another quest." Sora said. I looked at Sora. "I wanted to find Riku so the 3 of us could go back home. I promised Kairi that all of us would come back."

"Yes. I know. However, everything in your journey, Sora, is connected. Whether you will find your way home to the islands... Whether you and Hikari will return alone or with your friend... And, whether or not the islands will still be there. And the key that connects them all is you, Sora." Yen Sid said.

"I'm... the key?" Sora asked. He held out his hand and Kingdom Key appeared.

"Chosen wielder of the Keyblade! You are the key that will open the door to light." I knew Master Yen Sid was right. "So, before you go, you will need suitable traveling clothes. Those look a bit too small for you." Yen Sid said. No kidding. We went into the next room and saw Flora, Fauna and Merryweather.

"Flora! Fauna! Merryweather!" I exclaimed. The 3 fairies turn to me and gasped in amazement.

"Oh my! Hikari? Is that really you?" Flora asked. I nodded.

"What lovely young lady you've become!" Merryweather exclaimed. I blushed. They pulled Sora forward and, after some disputing on his clothes, waved their wands together and gave Sora his new clothes. His new outfit was much like his old one. The hoodie was colored black, with silver pauldron-like additions to his sleeves and white lining. His undershirt was a navy blue with a red patch in the center. His pants, similar to chaps, were colored black on the outside, and a navy blue on the inside, lined with silver-white edging. Yellow straps criss-cross around his pants, held together with a black belt. The pants feature red pockets with a black cross over them. His gloves were colored black on the outside and white on the inside with a yellow line running around them. He also wore large black-yellow shoes with silver soles, a zipper running across the top, and black straps holding them together with buckles here and there. Sora's crown pendant was present on this attire.

"Your turn, dear." Fauna said. I stepped forward. They waved their wands together and my clothes changed dramatically. I now wore a plain white sun dress that stopped just slightly enough to where it showed the cuffs of the traditional royal blue capris I wore underneath. Over the bodice of the dress, I wore a short-sleeved shirt with azure blue outlining the neck, sleeves and hem and 2 lines of the same color went straight up on the front, leaving an open space in between them. In the space was the silver Kingdom Hearts sigil. On my feet were Alice blue sneakers(exactly like the sneakers Kairi wears now). The 3 bracelets on my wrist had turned into 3 pearl bracelets that were royal blue, pearl white and light silver.

"Wow!" Donald exclaimed.

"You look beautiful, Hikari!" Goofy said.

"Man! If Riku saw you now, he'd probably faint from how amazing you look." Sora said. My face was beet red at this point.

Flora: "Also, a woman had left this in our care." She handed me a box. I opened it to see a beautiful tiara. "That woman was your mother, Hikari. She asked us to hold onto this and give it to you when the time was right. I think that time is now." I looked at the tiara. It was a gold tiara with curved designs making out the top of it, 5 pearls lined on the band and a red-pink gem on the top(You'd have to look at Aikatsu; Queen Tiara for a better idea). The fairies explained the power of our clothes and went back to Master Yen Sid. He had summoned the gummi ship!

"Hikari, you will not need the gummi ship to travel. Go outside and toss your Keyblade into the air." Yen Sid said. I did as he said and Starlight became a Keyblade Gilder. Its shape was identical to Ven's. We left to journey forth to, once again, save the worlds.

No one's Pov

Unknown to the 4 friends, they were being watched. From the tower window of the room they had only been in moments ago stood the evil fairy, Maleficent. She watched them, but had her attention mainly focused on the princess.

"Ah, Hikari. The Princess of Kingdom Hearts and the princess of Riku's heart. Things have become more interesting." the evil fairy cackled.
