"True power is in the heart." Riku woke up from his dream.
He and the Gummi Ship were outside Hollow Bastion. The sun was just beginning to peak over the horizon.
He looked around him at the waterfalls, rising up over the crater he stood in. Up above, the castle stood, almost appearing alive, staring down at him.
He spread his wings and soared up towards the castle. Just as he was about to pass under the ancient stone arch, he hit a force field. He fell down.
"Great." He mumbled to himself, rubbing his head. He decided to try to hit the force field and shatter it.
He punched forward and his hand went right through.
"What?" He thought. "Things coming at high speed could go through, it seemed.
He removed his arm, backed up and charged at the force field.
On the other side, he extended his wings once again and lifted into the air. He sped off toward the castle.
................~Castle Gates~.....................
As he neared the castle chapel, a bright light glowed around him and his wings disappeared. Some anti-magic barrier protected the castle.
He tried to telekinetically float down, but most of his telekinesis was gone: all he could do was use the tiny bit of magic that remained to slow the fall.
He landed outside the doorway of the castle.
Riku cautiously opened one of the huge double doors and peered in. Two defenders were patrolling the Grand Hall.
'Ok," Riku thought, 'I have to sneak over to the library and-' What? The defenders were staring at him, but not attacking!
"They recognize me!" Riku shouted to himself.
He tried to not look nervous as he climbed the stairs and turned the corner, opening the oak door to the library.
..................~Library~......................
Someone was reading a book at the table under the stairs. The person was clothed in a sky blue dress with a crown that resembled the crown on the kingdom key. The woman turned around.
"KAIRI!" Riku shouted. He blinked and the girl was gone.
But the book she was reading was still resting on the table.
Riku slowly bowed over the table to read it. "Beauty and the Beast." He opened the book and saw a picture of a beautiful, blooming rose. The petals were intense and glowing, as if the rose were in front of him.
He continued to stare at the picture until on petal shone brightly and disappeared. The relevance of this was unknown. He decided the keep the book with him, as it seemed Kairi was trying to get him to read it.
He grabbed it and headed back into the Grand Hall to find Maleficent.
.................~Castle Chapel~....................
"Maleficent!" Riku yelled. "Let them go!" He gestured towards Kon-el, Cassie, Robin and Starfire.
"Oh, my Riku." Maleficent cackled. "I would, but we had a deal. They lost."
"And I'm gonna win them back!" Riku announced.
Kon-El stepped forward. "You and what army?"
There was a flash of light as Sora, Kairi, Donald and Goofy teleported, courtesy of Kairi, into the chapel.
"We're here." Kairi said.
"This army." Riku laughed.
"Now it's your turn to answer us." Sora announced. "I don't know what they've done to you, but you have nothing over us."
"Look Out!" Cassie called from where she was being tied to the wall. "He's brained washed.
Kon-El stepped up to Sora, grabbed the collar of his shit and lifted him in the air.
"you wanna know what I have over you?" He asked. Sora gulped. "I'll tell you. Height, muscles, age and facial hair."
"Ptt, like I want any." Kairi said.
Kon-El's eyes rolled back in his head and he fell to the ground. Behind him stood Sephiroth, who had hit him in the head.
Sora dropped to the ground.
"Thanks." Kairi said, for the gasping Sora.
"Have you forgotten about me?" Maleficent asked.
"We tried." Sephiroth said, facing away from her, "but like a bad zit, you just don't seem to pop."
She laughed manically, and advanced on them.
"Ready?" Riku asked. "Go!" They all turned around and launched at Maleficent, who smiled and vanished in a cloud of green fire.
"Where are the princesses?" Donald asked.
"On the other side of that wall, probably." Goofy suggested.
"That wall won't disappear until Maleficent is gone." A man said. It was Ansem.
Riku turned to Sephiroth. "But you said I would save princesses and princes."
"You did." Sephiroth chuckled, as Robin, Starfire, and Cassie's chains disappeared. Kon-El began to come to consciousness again.
"It doesn't matter." Maleifcents voice cackled though the room. I don't need the clean hearts, I need you!" Chains launched from the wall and grabbed Kairi. They pulled her in towards the wall behind which the Great Hall was, but the wall disappeared to let her through.
As soon as she was through, the wall reappeared.
"No!" Sora shouted.
"I was just about to ask her something, too." Riku announced.
"What?" Ansem asked.
"It's not important now." Riku answered.
"so, what happened in Halloween Town?" Ansem asked.
Goofy turned to him. "Jack and Sally are gone."
"But we destroyed the keyhole." Sora said.
"And Oogie Boogie is gone AGAIN!" Goofy announced.
"Let's get going, and we'll go to the other half of the worlds."

"Setting course for Spooky Island. Warp Drive!" Donald called.
"That isn't good!" Sora called, noticing the fact that Spooky Island was roofed in a blanket of snow.
"Let's go!"
And so, they disembarked on the pier and crossed under the sign that read "Spooky Island.
