The Princess Chronicles 1-
Snow White and the seven dwarves, with Roxas too!
Author's notes- I don't own anyone, in these stories. Sorry this is late- Easter Sunday put me behind. Also Cardcaptor Fiona's story Cardcaptor Scarlet put me behind. And I'm doing two hours of revision per day, for my summer exams.
Roxas' POV
My landing, was not a soft one. "Ow…" I groaned. I could feel small spiky rocks, sticking into me. But I couldn't muster the power to move. In the end, I fell asleep.
"Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, it's off to work we go…" The somewhat catchy chant, is what woke me up. I groaned again, but I found the strength to sit up. I could feel that my back was bleeding, the sting of the cuts, grazes and bruises and the blood sliding down my shirt. I looked, again, at my awakeners- seven little men, with pointy little ears and carrying either pickaxes and/or lamps. The men had to be Dwarves- mainly because the cave, for which they were heading for, was called Dwarf Diamond Mine. I took a look around- I was sitting on a rocky ledge, overlooking the diamond mine's entrance. There was a rocky pathway, after that, until it met a huge wood and some fields, after that. The view was breathtaking. And distracting. I almost forgot my back, a surge of pain reminded me, all about it. I took off my shirt (I know, what's up with all the shirtlessness, in these stories- guess I'm just trying to please the Fan girls and Fan guys.) Both Keyblades appeared, in my hands. My Kingdom Key touched my back, and I yelled, as pain rippled through my body. "Cure." I felt the pain becoming more manageable, until it disappeared, altogether. I had never used Cure on myself- It felt pretty good. Now that my back had healed, I started to take in my situation and tried to remember, why I had come to be here, on a rocky terrain, and without my friends. It took me, a few seconds for a stream of memories, through my head. Cid talking to us, about Ansem, the gummie ship breaking down, the cloaked man, the trinity attack and finally Sakura, me and Naruto falling down, to a new world, each… wait there was more- The cloaked man had tried to recruit me. But why? I paused for a second, and gave myself a headache, trying to think about it. I pulled on my, slightly, bloody shirt and then used Aero as a parachute, and floated down to the mine. "I might as well ask those dwarves, where I am… and I guess I should look for this world's Keyhole, too." I thought aloud, as I entered the mine.
Speaking of the mine- It was beautiful- every square inch was covered by rainbow reflecting diamonds. Sparkly gem after sparkly gem. "What're you doing here?" A dwarf in red, asked me, not bothering to keep his voice down, or hide his anger. He looked at me, like I was a criminal. "Uh… yeah. I was just wondering where I could find the…"
"GET OUT!" The Red Dwarf ordered, who had the support of 5/6 other dwarves. One in purple, was just looking aimlessly, into space.
"NO! NOW GET OUT!" The Red Dwarf was now red in the face, and he tried a swing at me, with his pickaxe. "Magnet." I cried. Shock had overwhelmed me, and now my instincts had taken over. The pickaxe met, in my hand, which brought a cry from the only dwarf wearing glasses. "See?! He's got a pickaxe- he's after our diamonds!" I gave the glasses wearing dwarf a look, which I hoped told him, that he was the biggest idiot, I had ever met. I dropped the pickaxe and rolled my eyes, as I left. I could see I wasn't going to get anywhere here.
Queen's POV
"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all." The question had been asked everyday, but it was only recently that there had been a need to check. A stupid little Princess of Heart was, apparently, fairer than I am. The Princess, known as Snow White should be mine now- I sent a hunter after her, quite a while ago. "Snow White is still the fairest. It seems your hunter failed. However, he has succeeded into scaring her, into the dark forest. I'm sure you can use some heartless, to get her." I used my anger at the hunter, to summon a squad of heartless and a huge heartless, that seemed to be in charge, who had taken the form of a giant evil looking tree. "Bring me the one, known as Snow White." I ordered. The heartless disappeared into the darkness and shadows, they were heading out, to complete their orders. "Also, my Queen, there is a new hero." The Magic Mirror spoke, and immediately had my full attention. I had asked the mirror, once upon a time, if there was anyone, who could save Snow White, and the Mirror replied, with a vision of a young Prince, who Snow White had met, at a wishing well. The mirror was now showing a vision of a blond spiky haired boy, in a blood stained T-shirt, using two blades (which very much resembled keys) to destroy some commonplace heartless. "This is one of the Key Wielders, that Maleficent warned us about, although he seems to have been separated, from his friends." I smiled, at this thought. "He should be easy to defeat, then. I'll send the heartless, after they've dealt, with Snow White."
Roxas' POV
I took my frustration (which had been born, due to those dumb dwarves.) out, on some heartless, that I came across. Soon, I had come across a small cottage. I took a look around- It seems that there was a big struggle, which ended with the attacker, being swallowed by darkness and the victim running out to the words. I was surprised, by my knowledge of the struggle, considering the lack of clues. It was just something, in my heart, which told me all the info. I started to follow the victim, into the woods. Again, something in my heart, told me that the victim was important.
"Ahhh!" In the distance, I could see a very pretty girl, in a blue and yellow dress, with a red cape. Her black hair framed her terrified face, making it seem, as white as snow. I later learnt that she was, appropriately, named Snow White. A huge tree like heartless, was about to attack her. "Shield." I used one, of the two Star Cards, to protect Snow. While the heartless known as Overgrowth was startled, I made an 'x' like slash, with my two Keyblades. Overgrowth countered, by turning his trunks into spiky mallets. "Fire!" I tried to burn the tree down, but my magic was intercepted, by a small pip-squeak heartless. I looked down at the ground, that Overgrowth was standing on. Around him, were loads of little heartless, ready to take any hit, their master couldn't handle. "Thunder!" Electrical currents fell, from the sky destroying all the small-frys around Overgrowth. "Fire!" Both Keyblades shot a powerful blast of fire, which combined together, one moment before disintegrating Overgrowth.
"Thank you, kind sir." Snow spoke the words, but her voice made it sound like she was singing. "Your welcome. My name's Roxas, by the way."
"Well, thank you Roxas." Snow curtsied. "I'm Snow White." I led her back to her cottage. "Do you have any idea, who sent those heartless after you? Or, do you know where the Keyhole, of this world is?" Snow White looked at me, sympathetically. "I don't know where, or even what, a Keyhole is. So, I'm very sorry but I can't help you there. However, the evil Queen is the one, who is after me. She sent a hunter and then those heartless. She lives in that castle over there." Snow pointed to some dark mountains, where I could just make out a huge, but difficultly seen, castle. If I hadn't been looking for it; I would have never have seen it. I turned to Snow. "Stay here, and be safe. I'm going to go and have a word, with that Queen."
"Be careful." Snow looked like she didn't want me to leave. "I'll be back."
"Those heartless failed me?" I could hear the Queen screeches, even from here, and I was outside the castle! Beside me, was a young man, a couple years older than me- around Snow's age. He was going to deal, with the Queen, also. And he seemed to what to know, where Snow White was. He, apparently, saw her, one day- and it was love, at first sight. He had revealed himself to be a Prince. We easily entered the castle, and found ourselves, hiding behind the corner, of the Queen's throne room. The Queen was there, talking with… her mirror? At first, I thought she was just insane. Then I realised that the mirror was a living thing. It had a face and a voice. It's lucky the Queen was screaming, because both me and The Prince gasped, in surprise. "What do you mean, she's still alive?!" The Magic Mirror sighed. "I told you that, that new hero could be a problem." The Queen growled. "If I can't be the fairest of them all; then no one will. Mirror, mirror, on the wall, where is the Keyhole?" The Magic Mirror looked nervous and hesitated, before asking a new question. "But, what about the princess, if you destroy this world, then she'll be disappear to a different world." The Queen looked hesitate. "Hm… I have an idea." The Queen snapped her fingers, and a side of her wall vanished, to be replaced, with a cabinet full of bottles and vials, of all different sizes and colours. She choose two bottle, from the top shelf, and snapped her fingers, again. The wall returned to normal. The Queen held up a bottle, containing disgusting black liquid. "I use this, to transform myself, into a hag. And then, I inject this sleeping potion…" She showed a revolting green liquid. "… into an apple, which I give to Snow White, she's mine and this world gets destroyed and then bang! I live a happy life! As the fairest of them all!"
"Over my dead body!" The Prince jumped out, from behind a corner, with a drawn sword. "Well, it seems we have a rat." The Queen said, eyeing the Prince. "No, you've got two!" I, too, jumped out, from the corner. "Mirror, I'm going to get Snow White; you'll have to take care of these two."
"The mirror's going to take care of us?!" I actually started laughing, but then the mirror glowed, violently, my body went numb and for a second, I was blind. Unaware, that my body had just become a ball of light, and flew into the mirror, along with the Prince.
"Get up!" The mirror's voice echoed inside my head. I stood up, and took in my surroundings- around me was a sea of black and purple. The Prince was standing next to me, ready for battle. Also around us, was 10 of the Magic Mirror's faces. "Take this!" The Prince and I both hit a few faces, with our swords. And it turned out to be useless. That failed, and I tried magic, which The Prince gaped at. That too failed. The Mirror shot a huge dark ball of energy. "Shield!" I protected me and the Prince. After that the Prince went berserk- he tried several sword swings, at the only MM face to be smiling. He howled, in pain. "That's it! He's the only one, we can hit!" The Magic Mirror smiled, evilly. "How right you are… but you'll never… wait what is this?! No!" The last words were screamed. The Mirror's face was now one of pure horror and confusion. The lights of this place were becoming pure darkness, until the only light was coming from the Mirror's face. "Your powers could be quite useful Mirror. Anyone would want it. Infinite Knowledge." Saskue's familiar voice echoed around the Mirror's dimension. The mirror's faces were changing, until they became a sharingan eye, one by one, until the only one left, was the one, who had once been smiling. He screamed, a deafening scream, as he too changed into a sharingan eye.
After that, The Prince and I was back out. The Prince looked liked he was about to be sick. The Mirror's face had become the sharingan eye. The eye I hated. The eye Maleficent had given him, when she had brainwashed him. I trusted both Keyblades into the Mirror. The Sharingan eye looked scared, before it shattered to pieces and fell to the floor. Then I saw something I hadn't been expecting. This world's Keyhole, shined from the Mirror's base. Only visible when the glass had been shattered. "No wonder the Mirror, had been so nervous, when the Queen asked where the Keyhole. It knew, it would be destroyed." I said to no one in particular. "What did you just do?" The Prince asked. "Something, that will cause, all of the heartless to be banished, from this world."
"Snow White… we need to go help her. I hope we're not too late." The Prince hurried, out of the room, looking very distraught.
Snow White's POV
Cleaning the cottage was easy with my animal friends. I was almost finished, with my chores, when a knock on the cottage door, sent my animal friends into a fear frenzy and they fled out of the window, or hid around the cottage. I nervously opened the door, expecting to see some heartless, so I had a frying pan, in hand. Outside of the door, was a elderly woman, holding a fruit basket full of apples. The woman was a little… ugly, but not exactly evil. "Hello dear." Said the woman, taking out a very shiny apple. "Take this apple. It will make all your dreams come true. And because you're so pretty, it's free!" That's a bit rude and pushy. I thought Still, it's free, and there was that flattery. I started to make a grab, for the apple. "Snow White! No!"
Roxas' POV
"Arrow!" I called upon the second Star card, which I had in my position. Arrow did a single shot, but it was a perfect one. The arrow hit the shiny red apple, which the Prince had guessed, as the poisoned one. Sure enough, the arrow had the apple pinned to the door, where a green liquid trickled out. "Take this Vile Witch!" The Prince ran up and plunged his sword, right into the Queen's head, then took it out, making the Queen become a fountain of blood. Snow White screamed, and The Prince immediately went to comfort her. Leaving a squad of woodland animals to take away the body. I blinked twice. This had to be the most weird scene, I had ever seen, in my life.
"Thank you very much, Roxas!" The happy couple said to me. A fully working gummie ship had arrived with Chip and Dale, as the drivers. (I know, who would've thought it.) had arrived some time ago. Now that I was saying my goodbyes, a thought had struck me. "Uh… Mr. The Prince… I don't think I actually learnt your name. The Prince and I shared an embarrassed look, at this fact. "Oh, sorry. My name is…"
"Roxas! Come on!! We need to go!!!" I sighed. "I'll catch that name later. Goodbye!"
