~*Hollow Bastion*~

An omnious could hung over the castle as Sora, Riku, Donald, and Goofy rode the lift over to the

castle where their friends were held captive. Riku stood like a statue, hardly breathing as he planned the

severe pain he was going to put Ansem through before he killed him. Sora, on the other hand, was pacing the

lift. Round and round he went, until Donald snapped at him to cut it out before it drove them all insane.

The lift drifted to a somewhat lazy stop at the castle gates, it's impatient riders leaping off before

it had securely docked itself. The group surged forward even as Heartless appeared around them. Weilding

Oblivion, Sora sliced through them, side-by-side with Riku, who had drwn his own blade. Donald and Goofy

followed their lead, and munny and orbs fell around the group.

"There're gone," Goofy said finally, as an eerie quiet resumed around them. Sora and Riku exchanged a

nod, then started for the large doors in front of them that led into the Entrance Hall. Donald and Goofy

followed several paces behind them. As they approached, the doors swung open, granting them entrance.

Riku and Sora entered first (now you should all know what is coming........), Donald and Goofy still

behind them. The boys were inside then Entrance Hall now, and the doors slammed shut behind them.

Goofy and Donald recieved a face full of door as it swung shut, the force blasting them out over the

railing, plunging them down into the mist.

~*Grand Hall*~

"Let us go, freak of nature!" Ria struggled against the Heartess that was holding her still as another

tied her wrists together behind her back. The same was being done to Kairi. Ansem could only laugh at Ria's

threat.

"Now why would I do that," Ansme mocked as the girls were forced to their knees. In front of them, a

giant doorway shaped like a Heartless was gleaming with dark energy. "I need you girls to help me open the

door."

"I don't get," Kairi pouted. "Maleficent already did that, remember?"

"That, my dear Princess, is where you would be wrong. The Keyblade Master sealed that keyhole, not

realizing that behind it lies the true darkness. Maleficent was a fool."

Riannon sighed. "That still doesn't explain why you need us!"

Ansem nodded. "Ah yes. You two are the Queens of Heart. I discovered an old prophesy, stating that the

seven alone cannot open the door. One of the seven, and another," he continued, pointing first at Kairi,

then at Ria, "are those who hold the power to open the door, and only they can stop it."

"So we're the Queens of Heart......" Ria's voice trailed off as she digested the information.

"Yes, and now it is time. Open the door, lead me into everlasting Darkness!"

~*Outside the Waterway*~

Donald and Goofy landed with faint bumps flat on their backs. Above them, they could observe the

towers of the castle. "Where are we," Donald wondered aloud.

"I dunno. Why don't we try that there bubble?" Goofy had sat up, and was gesturing to a large bubble

that was floating several feet above that ground in front of them.

"Worth a shot." They arose and went to stand beside the bubble. "ONE, TWO, THREE, JUMP!!"

They merged with the bubble, and it carried them underwater and into the Waterway, where it released

them.

Donald brushed himself off. "Well that was certainly interesting."

"Hello, is someone there? Get us out!"

"Huh?" Donald and Goofy swiveled around to see Leon and Yuffie trapped, one again, in a cell.

"I repeat," said Yuffie impatiently, "Get us out!"

Goofy nodded, drawing his shield. With all the force he could muster, and covering his eyes, he ran

towards the bars.

*BANG*



Goofy landed on his rear, his eyes swirly from the impact. The bars had survived, and Leon and Yuffie

were still trapped.

Donald scratched his head. "It looks like we have a problem........"
