Chapter 26: Staff of Light

Aqua have been traveling thru a few worlds for over a week since Sora, Riku, and Hikari's Mark of Mastery Exam has started. She was looking for the Staff of Light for Master Yen Sid. She landed on a world, she glanced around and look at herself. She gasp as she was just a few inches tall, like a mouse or Jaq. She went in the hole on the wall and found Jaq with another mouse.

Jaq turned and saw Aqua, "Ah! Gus- Gus! Meet Aqua! She the one who help Jaq-Jaq helped Cinderelli!" He chirped happily.

"Oh! Um nice to meet 'cha, Aqua!" Gus-Gus said.

Aqua giggled, "Nice to meet you Gus." She said as she shook Gus's hand. "Um, Jaq? Could you help me with something?" She leaned down and smiled. "I'm looking for a long golden stick. Have you seen it? It's like this." Aqua showed Jaq the picture she brought with her.

Jaq and Gus stared at the picture for a moment and they snapped their fingers. The two house mice lead Aqua towards another mouse hole which leads to the kitchen. They found Fairy Godmother right there waving her wand around. Fairy Godmother smiled at Aqua and waved her wand. With simple magic words, Aqua became the height she was before she entered the world.

"My dear, what are you looking for?" Fairy Godmother asked.

"Oh, I'm looking the Staff of Light. My Master wishes me to find it and gave it to him. It's very important if I find it right away." Aqua smiled.

Fairy Godmother chuckled, "Ohoho, My dear. Your answered lies in front of your eyes." She said as she leaded Aqua to the backyard.

Aqua raised an eyebrow as she was confused on Fairy Godmother's words. She stared straight into her front and her eyes widened as she saw the Castle. She smiled at Fairy Godmother, "Thank you so much." She said.

Aqua was about to leave but, Fairy Godmother stopped her. "Wait my dear, take Jaq and Gus with you." Said the Fairy Godmother before she disappeared.

Aqua bended down and take Jaq and Gus with her as she ran towards the castle. She put the two mice on her shoulder as she a few Heartless was seen in front of them. Aqua summoned her keyblade as she stood in a fighting stance. She ran towards the Heartless with speed and jumped up to confuse the Heartless. She stabbed her keyblade to the grounds and The Heartless disappeared as Jaq and Gus cheered.

Aqua smiled and dodged the Heartless, that was beside her. She slashed the Heartless and cast a Blizzard spell to the rest of the Heartless. Using Time Splicer, stopping the Heartless form moving as she disappeared and reappeared to the next one and the next. A few times and after a few seconds, Aqua appeared on the other side with the Heartless disappeared in the same time as she turned to face the Heartless.

She smirked and went back running towards the castle with Jaq and Gus. She jumped over the walls and landed safely on the ground. She glanced around and found Cinderella with the Prince. Aqua smiled as she saw them. Cinderella noticed Aqua and she approached her with a smile. She bowed as Aqua bowed back.

"Why hello, Aqua. It's been awhile isn't it?" Cinderella asked as Aqua nodded.

"Yeah, I see you're doing well." Aqua said as she give Jaq and Gus to Cinderella. "By the way, Cinderella? I was looking for a golden staff that looks like this. Have you seen it?" Aqua asked as she handed Cinderella a picture.

Cinderella examine the picture as the prince approached her and smiled, "I think I've might seen it somewhere." Aqua's expressions brighten as she heard the good news. "I think it's at the middle of the maze. In the middle, there's a statue of my father holding it. I believe it's out of place so, you can take it." The Prince said as Aqua nod.

"Thank you so much. You've been a lot of help. I wish you two a happy life, Your Highness." Aqua bowed one last time and ran towards the maze.

-x-x-x-x-x-

Aqua arrived in front of the maze. She enters the maze and with a few twist and turns. She found a few Heartless on the way but, she quickly took care of it with ease. She arrived in the middle of the maze and saw the golden staff. She smiled and took it off of the statue. There was a dark aura behind her. She turned around and didn't find anyone behind her. Aqua shrugged it off and continued to walk to the exit. But, a lot of Heartless blocked her exit.

She summoned her keyblade as she put the staff behind her. She ran towards the Heartless and slashed the first one. She threw her keyblade to the air and used Spell Weaver. She controls the keyblade to slash around the Heartless. After a few minutes, she was done slashing the Heartless. The dark feeling was felt again. This time, when Aqua turned around she found a man with silver hair wearing black clothing.

"If I'm not mistaken you're Xemnas, Leader of Organization XIV." Aqua said as she narrowed her keyblade to Xemnas.

Xemnas chuckled, "You're correct."

"State your purpose here." Aqua demanded.

Xemnas gave another chuckle, "I'm just here to gave a small warning... You've trained your student well... Master Xehanort is pleased with the gift you've prepared for him." He said calmly.

'Gift? What gift?' Aqua's eyes widened as she realized what gift means by Xemnas. "As if, I'm going to give Hikari to you! I'll protect her!" Aqua yelled.

Xemnas laughed darkly, "Really? If you're here than who's protecting her now?" he asked.

"We are! The Lights in our Hearts are connected!" Aqua shouted as she ran towards Xemnas.

She slashed him but he jumped back and summoned his Eternal Blades. He blocked Aqua's attack as he jumped back up and summoned a thousand needles to attack Aqua. Aqua cursed and cast a barrier around her until the Red Needles was gone. Aqua jumped to Xemnas and attack from the air.

She used Prims Rain to shoot Light towards Xemnas but, He dodge the Light as he threw one of his Eternal Blade to Aqua. Aqua blocked it with her keyblade and threw it back to him as she landed on the ground safely.

"Hikari will never come to you! And neither would Sora or Riku!" Aqua yelled.

"Really? Hikari have walk to our path once, she might have just return to me." Xemnas said, "Sora would do anything to protect his sister and Riku... He'll join us." He continued.

Aqua growled, "Oh yeah? Then We will just have to bring them back to the Light! But, I'm warning you... They will not fall into the Darkness when there's Light in their Hearts protecting them from you!" She narrowed her keyblade to Xemnas.

"Very well... enjoy the show..." He sai as he walked backwards.

Aqua sighed heavily as she lowered her keyblade. She gribbed on her chest as she look down, 'Sora... Riku... Hikari... Don't worry, help is on the way.' Aqua pointed her keyblade up and shot a light into the air as she turned he keyblade into a glider and she tapped her piece of armor.

She quickly dashed to the Mysterious Tower to bring good news and bad news.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

"Master Yen Sid!" Aqua yelled as she burst inside Master Yen Sid's office.

"Ah, Master Aqua... I presume you have the staff?" He asked as Aqua nodded and laid the staff at Master Yen Sid's desk. "I have bad news from Master Ventus." He continued.

"Aqua!" Ventus yelled worriedly.

"Ven, is there something the matter? What happen?" Aqua asked.

"There's this guy called Young Xehanort. He wanted to ruin Sora, Riku, and Hikari's Mark of Mastery Exam! And he said that he alredy did!" Ventus complained.

"What! That's the same thing I want to report. Xemnas has returned and want to take Hikari, Sora, and Riku away from us!" Aqua shouted.

Master Yen Sid closed his eyes and sighed heavily, "I've called The King, Magician Donald, and Knight Goofy to come to my Tower. We just have to wait for Master Terra's return then we can take action to safe Sora, Riku, and Hikari from Master Xehanort." He said as he continued to stared out of his window.

Aqua sighed a ong with Ventus, he gripped on her shirt and look up with a serious look, 'I hope you guys are alright. We're coming soon to help you. So hang on and keep the Light in your Heart.'
