Chapter 5
Hikari looked at the ground, counting her steps as she followed the two new people, well, animals that have come to take her away. She almost felt as if she was a slave. She continued to walk, until she tripped over Donald who was standing in front of her looking up. She took a few steps back to regain herself and glared at the duck.
"Why did you stop in front of me like that?!" she screamed. Donald shook his head.
"I'm gonna have to tell you the same thing I told your father, you can't frown, no sad faces. You have to be happy!" Donald cheered.
"Yeah, you got to be funny." Goofy said and laughed, and what an odd laugh it was. Hikari looked at them and shook her head.
"Then I'll go on my own." She walked past the two and continued down the steps. Donald was becoming more and more furious with the girl.
"You'll never get out of here and to other worlds unless you have a ship to fly!" he yelled to her, she was about two yards from him.
"I'll find a way off this planet." She said without turning.
"You're never gonna get anywhere!!" he screamed. Hikari turned around and glowered to him. Donald ran and hid behind Goofy. Goofy looked down to him and then looked to Hikari.
"Uh, ya know, he's right." Goofy said.
"I don't care. Why in the hell would I want to work with the two of you?" she crossed her arms as she started to walk back to them.
"Because your father did?" Goofy looked down to Donald with the expression of 'help' on his face. Hikari now stood a good couple feet from them, still aggravated but reasonable at the moment.
"So you mean to tell me, that my father worked with the two of you bone heads?"
"Bone heads?!" the duck lost his temper. "You're calling us bone heads?!" he ran out and was nearly ready to kill the girl but Goofy grabbed him. Hikari leaned down so that she was face to face with him.
"Yeah that's right, bone heads." She sassed.
"Why I oughta!!!" Goofy clamped his mouth shut and looked to Hikari.
"Please help us. You're the only one that uh-can help. You're the keyblade master." Goofy looked to her with a feeling of plead in his voice. Hikari let out an exasperated sigh.
"Fine, I'll help, only because I have to." She stood up straight and pushed her hair back. "Or until we find Tannim."
"Tannim?" Goofy looked to her as he let Donald go who was calming down a bit.
"Tannim is a friend of mine but I don't know what happened to him. I sure hope he's ok." She closed her eyes as she looked up to the starry night. Donald and Goofy looked at each other.
"Come on, lets stock up and get to the Gummi Ship." Donald spoke with a softer tone and started down to the item shop. Hikari looked to him.
"Gummi Ship?" she followed.
"Yeah, the one and only ship that can cross into other worlds." Goofy stated and laughed again. Hikari nodded somewhat and followed along with them. She could already tell that this was gonna be a long journey.
Hikari sat in the cockpit of the gummi ship awaiting for the other two to come in and show her exactly what she was supposed to do. She looked at the small chain on her neck, the one similar to her father's and sighed sadly.
"Tannim, I hope you're ok." She said softly. Donald and Goofy walked in.
"Ok, lets see here, you don't know anything about this do you?" Donald asked. Hikari shook her head in response. "Well it looks like I'mma gonna have to teach ya."
"Great, taught by a duck." Hikari said bluntly. Donald glared at her and shrugged it off.
"You get to read the coordinates and let us know which way we are going. That's all you get to do."
"No Piloting?" Hikari whined only trying to antagonize him. Donald was about to loose his temper again.
"No."
"Good cause I would have crashed anyhow." She said sitting up at her station. Donald mumbled to himself and sat down at his controls. Goofy sat down as well.
"Let's get this show on the road!" Donald called out. One, two, three, blast off! They were now in hyperspace and off to another world, whatever came first.
"But your majesty! Please listen to me!" a young girl stood at the stands in front of an older woman, apparently the queen, pleading her innocence.
"Not another word or its OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!" the queen yelled.
"But I swear, I am innocent." The girl spoke with an English accent.
"Do I need to say it again?!"
"It wasn't me!"
"LOCK HER UP!" the queen yelled. A few cards, playing cards, came over and took the young girl locking her in the cage.
"We're approaching a new world!" Hikari spoke as she looked at the radar, there was a new world coming.
"That would be wonderland." Goofy spoke as he looked over her shoulder.
"Oh. Wonderland?"
"Yeah. Kinda a crazy place if you ask me. Everything there is all inverted." Donald said as he set the landing course for them.
Not too much longer, the disembarked form the ship. Hikari followed Donald and Goofy and suddenly they dropped into a huge whole.
"Ack!" Hikari yelled out and looked down, they were floating to the floor below them. She looked around her seeing various objects just floating around. "This is weird." She said. Donald and Goofy landed first, but Hikari, she had a hard landing and landed on her butt. She winced a bit and stood up rubbing her lower back.
"Come." Donald demanded. Hikari snapped to attention and followed the two. There was a small door at the end of the hallway. Not big enough for her to fit through, Goofy was going to have pure luck getting through, but Donald, it was his size.
"You really think I can fit through that?" Hikari pointed.
"Of course." Donald opened the door and walked in. Goofy grinned and crawled through. Hikari was having second thoughts about this whole thing and finally came to the decision, she fit through. She stumbled into the next room but stood up to regain herself. She looked around her.
"Wow, bizarre." She said as she looked around. She walked over to the table and looked at two little bottles. One blue and one red. She cocked and eyebrow and picked one up. There was a little tag on it that said "Drink me". She shrugged and took a drink and suddenly the room got bigger, so didn't the bottle. She dropped the bottle on the table as the table grew in size. She turned around to see that both Donald and Goofy had grown as well.
"What the?" She questioned. Then it hit her, she shrunk.
"Hikari?" Donald looked around for her. Hikari jumped up and down waving her hands about.
"Down here!! I'm down here!!" She screamed, but no avail. She stood under the table and shook her head. She turned to see the door and walked over to it. She grabbed the knob and tried to turn it, and then it moved. She jumped back.
"AHH!" She screamed. The doorknob was alive and it looked to her and yawned.
"You woke me up. You're very boorish." The doorknob spoke. Hikari almost fainted. The door knob was speaking to her.
"I-I'm terribly sorry, but I wanted to get to the other side. You see--"
"Find another way, I'm to tired." And with that the doorknob went back to sleep. Hikari looked at him with a very confused expression. She could still hear Donald and Goofy arguing over her disappearance. She looked around and off to the corner she saw another door. She though for a moment and quickly ran that way.
"I don't know where she went!" Donald yelled.
"Well then uh-maybe we should go back and check." Goofy said.
"You go back. I'll wait here for her." Donald stood with his arms crossed and tapping his foot while Goofy went into the other room.
Hikari entered the courtyard of the queen's castle. She walked slowly looking at the two card men that stood in the entrance way. She shook her head a bit and continued on further into the small area. She looked up ahead of her to see the queen sitting in her throne. Hikari meandered in.
"Who are you?!" The queen yelled as she stood up from her throne. Hikari jumped back a bit and shivered slightly.
"Um, I'm sorry. I was just looking around here and I--" Hikari stammered, but only to be interrupted by the queen.
"Do I know you?" she leaned further over the edge to look at the young girl.
"N-no ma'am. I'm pretty sure you don't."
"You look pretty familiar to me."
"I've never been here before, how could you possibly know who I am?"
"Hmmm, you look like, this boy. He came her a long time ago--"
"Your highness! Please wait!" Donald's voice called from behind Hikari. Hikari spun around and looked at Donald and Goofy running in. Donald came up to the stands, standing in front of Hikari.
"I remember you! You and that boy were here and ruined everything!"
"On the contrary, we came and helped you solve your problems."
"Well, I would like to see you solve my problems again. You see, someone is at it again like the last time you were here. But I am pretty sure that it was that girl." The queen glared down to the girl who was in the cage.
"Then I guess we'll have to prove to you again." Donald spoke bleakly.
"Fine, do as you wish, but I can not promise you that you will change my mind. You got that?!" the queen yelled. Donald grabbed Hikari's arm and started to drag her along with him out another door. Hikari looked at the girl in the cage. Once they were out of the courtyard and into the forest, Hikari stood up and pulled her arm away from Donald glaring down at him.
"What's the big idea?! You come in there and rip me away as I was trying to help that--"
"Try as much as you want, but she ain't gonna let that girl go. Her name is Alice, and we have to find evidences to get her out of there." Donald turned as he spoke, Hikari mimicked him as he did.
"Did I hear someone say, evidence?" a voice echoed through the room. Hikari looked around her.
"Who's there?" she asked. A cat like figure appeared in front of them. Donald rolled his eyes.
"I can help you with your troubles." He spoke.
"You can?" Hikari's eyes widened a bit.
"Don't trust him Hikari!" Donald yelled. She looked at him and used her foot to push him out of the way for a moment.
"Ok then, shoot."
"You think I am going to tell you where they are?"
"Of course. You said you could help right?"
"I didn't say I would tell you where. You have to find them on your own, if you find all of them, I'll give you a prize. There is four in all." And with that, he disappeared. Hikari made an irritated face.
"See I told ya, but did you listen to me? NO!!!" Donald screamed. Goofy shook his head and started walking forward.
"Come on Hikari, let's uh-get going." Goofy spoke once more. Hikari let out a long sigh and whispered to herself.
"How did you ever put up with these guys dad?" she then followed.
After a while of searching, Hikari had only found 3 clues. She sat on a rock in the Lotus forest and sighed. Donald walked up to her and placed his hands on his hips.
"This is all your fault, if you hadn't trusted that cat then we wouldn't BE in this predicament!" he yelled.
"My fault?! ARGH! I am SICK of you bossing me around like I am some five year old! I'm 16 damnit! And this is the way you treat me? How could you have been like this to my father?!" she stood up and glared at him.
"Your father wasn't as much of a pain as you are!"
"How can you be so insinuate?" she shook her head and stormed off.
"Get back here!"
"No! I'm not coming back, until you can prove me wrong! I'm gonna find my OWN WAY HOME!" she screamed and ran off. Donald stood there a bit dumbfounded and then looked to Goofy. Goofy shrugged and the two went off to look for her.
Hikari wandered feebly through the place. She could care less if she found her way home, as long as she wouldn't have to put up with that duck. She was upset, angry, and many other emotions mixed at once. She walked along and stopped. Something wasn't right, it was quiet, and the air was too still. She looked around her and brought out the Keyblade. There was nothing, but she couldn't pinpoint it. Then she was hit in the back with a fireball. She stumbled forward and growled from pain, she turned to see that it was a Red Nocturne. She began to go after, but stopped, there was a huge group of them, all surrounded her.
"You have got to be kidding me." She stated and with that, a fight ensued. One by one, taking each out; until finally there were none left. That's when Donald and Goofy ran up. She glared at him and began to walk away. Donald grabbed her arm.
"Wait! Hikari. I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to make you angry, I just--"
"You just want to take control over everything, right?" She looked down at him. She pulled her arm away and crossed her arms. Donald looked down.
"Your father and I didn't start off on the right foot either. So please, can we not make the same mistake?" he asked looking up to her with pleading eyes. She looked down to him, rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Fine."
"Yahoo!" Goofy cheered from behind. Hikari smirked and looked at Goofy and chuckled a bit to herself.
"Let's go! We can see the queen now, maybe this will be enough." Hikari took off back to the Queen's courtyard. Donald and Goofy followed.
The queen sat impatiently in her throne waiting for the 3 strangers to appear again. She tapped her staff against the side of her chair and sighed. As she was about to say something, the 3 adventures came in.
"Well? Have you got any proof?!" the queen Yelled. Hikari walked to the stands and held out the boxes of clues they gathered.
"This is your proof." She stated.
"Good, now I shall add one of my own." She dropped her box into the Pile. Hikari had the most dumbfounded look on her face at the moment, she was not happy.
"You must choose which one you think would PROVE to me that it wasn't you, your friends or this wretched girl." The queen glared to Alice who shrank back in fear.
"Fine, whatever you say." Hikari jumped down from the stands and looked at the boxes. Goofy stood there watching her while Donald was nearly biting his nails. She looked over the boxes for a moment and then walked to one.
"Is that what you choose?" the queen peered over to look at the girl. Hikari looked up with a smirk and nodded. She opened the box and a heartless jumped out at her. Hikari, without a thought, brought her Keyblade out and struck the monster and watched it burst into nothingness. Hikari put the Keyblade away and looked to the queen.
"See!!!" Donald screamed.
"...Fine! Release the girl!" she pointed to the cage which held Alice. When the three looked over, there was nothing in the cage.
"WHAT!?" All three; Donald, Goofy, and Hikari screamed at once. The Queen was furious.
"Lets get out of here!" Donald yelled as he took off running. Hikari stumbled back a bit and followed Goofy and Donald. They ran into the forest and hid quickly behind a rock in the path. When the Cards had looked around and didn't find them, the three let out a soft sigh and stood up. Hikari looked to Donald who was trying to think a bit.
"This all happened once before..." he spoke to himself. Hikari overheard him clearly and cocked an eyebrow.
"You mean...this all happened before and we're repeating history or something?"
"Exactly." Goofy stated.
"Huh?"
"Hikari, your father went through this all once before too." Donald looked up speaking to her.
"I understand, but my question is--"
"I know. But yes, History is repeating itself in some way. But no one but us seems to catch on."
"So in other words, they think of this as Déjà vu?"
"Correct."
"...Well then we're gonna have to fix this!" Hikari took off running into the forest.
A while later, Hikari entered the same room she had first came to. The one with the bottles of something that made her shrink. She walked up to the chair and jumped up and climbed up onto the table. She looked around. Donald jumped up as well as Goofy.
"There!" Hikari pointed to the bottles and ran over to it. "We just need to drink the other one and we'll be big again!"
"H-Hikari!!!" Donald yelled and pointed behind her. She blinked a bit and turned around. A huge monster with a long head, flame rods, and what looked like a paper doll of some sort stood there,
"What the hell is that thing?!" she screamed and fell over backwards.
"Its call the Trickmaster!" Goofy stated and brought out his shield. Hikari got up a bit and looked at the thing. Donald ran up to Hikari and placed his hand in hers.
"HEY! What do you think you're doing?!"
"Giving you magic! You're gonna need it! You can use Fire now!" he let go and ran off and jumped off the table at the monster. Hikari looked at her hand, there was a small flame symbol glowing on her palm. It faded away; she looked up at her comrades fighting. The Trickmaster swung at them knocking them back. She looked to her hand that held the Keyblade in it. She took a deep breath and ran to the edge of the table.
"Fire!" she jumped up and aimed the head of the monster. A blast of fire came from the tip of the Keyblade and flamed the trickmaster's head. The monster seemed to dance about a bit before fading away leaving a red iridescent heart to float away. Hikari landed on the ground and looked to Donald and Goofy who stood slowly, both shaking their heads.
"So you figured out what the problem was here in Wonderland." A familiar voice came from behind Hikari. She turned around to see the same silly cat from before. The Keyblade disappeared as she placed her hands on her hips.
"You again...I don't need your help."
"I wasn't planning to help you." He spoke taking Hikari's hand and placed his own in hers. He then disappeared. She looked to her hand and a small symbol, which looked like a snowflake, faded away.
"You learned Blizzard..." Donald spoke.
"Interesting..." She looked up as a keyhole appeared on the wall in front of her. She felt the Keyblade in her hands and looked down. "What?"
"Lock the keyhole!" Goofy said. She brought the blade up and pointed it to the hole. A small beam shot out and there was a small click. The keyhole as well as the Keyblade disappeared.
"You just locked the world." Donald walked up beside her.
"You ready for your next world?" Goofy walked up as well and looked to her. She stood there looking at her hands.
"Yeah...I think I'm ready. And I think I'm ready to understand what I really have to do."
End Alice and Wonderland
Hikari looked at the ground, counting her steps as she followed the two new people, well, animals that have come to take her away. She almost felt as if she was a slave. She continued to walk, until she tripped over Donald who was standing in front of her looking up. She took a few steps back to regain herself and glared at the duck.
"Why did you stop in front of me like that?!" she screamed. Donald shook his head.
"I'm gonna have to tell you the same thing I told your father, you can't frown, no sad faces. You have to be happy!" Donald cheered.
"Yeah, you got to be funny." Goofy said and laughed, and what an odd laugh it was. Hikari looked at them and shook her head.
"Then I'll go on my own." She walked past the two and continued down the steps. Donald was becoming more and more furious with the girl.
"You'll never get out of here and to other worlds unless you have a ship to fly!" he yelled to her, she was about two yards from him.
"I'll find a way off this planet." She said without turning.
"You're never gonna get anywhere!!" he screamed. Hikari turned around and glowered to him. Donald ran and hid behind Goofy. Goofy looked down to him and then looked to Hikari.
"Uh, ya know, he's right." Goofy said.
"I don't care. Why in the hell would I want to work with the two of you?" she crossed her arms as she started to walk back to them.
"Because your father did?" Goofy looked down to Donald with the expression of 'help' on his face. Hikari now stood a good couple feet from them, still aggravated but reasonable at the moment.
"So you mean to tell me, that my father worked with the two of you bone heads?"
"Bone heads?!" the duck lost his temper. "You're calling us bone heads?!" he ran out and was nearly ready to kill the girl but Goofy grabbed him. Hikari leaned down so that she was face to face with him.
"Yeah that's right, bone heads." She sassed.
"Why I oughta!!!" Goofy clamped his mouth shut and looked to Hikari.

"Fine, I'll help, only because I have to." She stood up straight and pushed her hair back. "Or until we find Tannim."
"Tannim?" Goofy looked to her as he let Donald go who was calming down a bit.
"Tannim is a friend of mine but I don't know what happened to him. I sure hope he's ok." She closed her eyes as she looked up to the starry night. Donald and Goofy looked at each other.
"Come on, lets stock up and get to the Gummi Ship." Donald spoke with a softer tone and started down to the item shop. Hikari looked to him.

"Well? Have you got any proof?!" the queen Yelled. Hikari walked to the stands and held out the boxes of clues they gathered.
"This is your proof." She stated.
"Good, now I shall add one of my own." She dropped her box into the Pile. Hikari had the most dumbfounded look on her face at the moment, she was not happy.
"You must choose which one you think would PROVE to me that it wasn't you, your friends or this wretched girl." The queen glared to Alice who shrank back in fear.
"Fine, whatever you say." Hikari jumped down from the stands and looked at the boxes. Goofy stood there watching her while Donald was nearly biting his nails. She looked over the boxes for a moment and then walked to one.
"Is that what you choose?" the queen peered over to look at the girl. Hikari looked up with a smirk and nodded. She opened the box and a heartless jumped out at her. Hikari, without a thought, brought her Keyblade out and struck the monster and watched it burst into nothingness. Hikari put the Keyblade away and looked to the queen.
"See!!!" Donald screamed.
"...Fine! Release the girl!" she pointed to the cage which held Alice. When the three looked over, there was nothing in the cage.
"WHAT!?" All three; Donald, Goofy, and Hikari screamed at once. The Queen was furious.
"Lets get out of here!" Donald yelled as he took off running. Hikari stumbled back a bit and followed Goofy and Donald. They ran into the forest and hid quickly behind a rock in the path. When the Cards had looked around and didn't find them, the three let out a soft sigh and stood up. Hikari looked to Donald who was trying to think a bit.
"This all happened once before..." he spoke to himself. Hikari overheard him clearly and cocked an eyebrow.
"You mean...this all happened before and we're repeating history or something?"
"Exactly." Goofy stated.
"Huh?"
"Hikari, your father went through this all once before too." Donald looked up speaking to her.
"I understand, but my question is--"
"I know. But yes, History is repeating itself in some way. But no one but us seems to catch on."
"So in other words, they think of this as Déjà vu?"
"Correct."
"...Well then we're gonna have to fix this!" Hikari took off running into the forest.
A while later, Hikari entered the same room she had first came to. The one with the bottles of something that made her shrink. She walked up to the chair and jumped up and climbed up onto the table. She looked around. Donald jumped up as well as Goofy.
"There!" Hikari pointed to the bottles and ran over to it. "We just need to drink the other one and we'll be big again!"
"H-Hikari!!!" Donald yelled and pointed behind her. She blinked a bit and turned around. A huge monster with a long head, flame rods, and what looked like a paper doll of some sort stood there,
"What the hell is that thing?!" she screamed and fell over backwards.
"Its call the Trickmaster!" Goofy stated and brought out his shield. Hikari got up a bit and looked at the thing. Donald ran up to Hikari and placed his hand in hers.
"HEY! What do you think you're doing?!"
"Giving you magic! You're gonna need it! You can use Fire now!" he let go and ran off and jumped off the table at the monster. Hikari looked at her hand, there was a small flame symbol glowing on her palm. It faded away; she looked up at her comrades fighting. The Trickmaster swung at them knocking them back. She looked to her hand that held the Keyblade in it. She took a deep breath and ran to the edge of the table.
"Fire!" she jumped up and aimed the head of the monster. A blast of fire came from the tip of the Keyblade and flamed the trickmaster's head. The monster seemed to dance about a bit before fading away leaving a red iridescent heart to float away. Hikari landed on the ground and looked to Donald and Goofy who stood slowly, both shaking their heads.
"So you figured out what the problem was here in Wonderland." A familiar voice came from behind Hikari. She turned around to see the same silly cat from before. The Keyblade disappeared as she placed her hands on her hips.
"You again...I don't need your help."
"I wasn't planning to help you." He spoke taking Hikari's hand and placed his own in hers. He then disappeared. She looked to her hand and a small symbol, which looked like a snowflake, faded away.
"You learned Blizzard..." Donald spoke.
"Interesting..." She looked up as a keyhole appeared on the wall in front of her. She felt the Keyblade in her hands and looked down. "What?"
"Lock the keyhole!" Goofy said. She brought the blade up and pointed it to the hole. A small beam shot out and there was a small click. The keyhole as well as the Keyblade disappeared.
"You just locked the world." Donald walked up beside her.
"You ready for your next world?" Goofy walked up as well and looked to her. She stood there looking at her hands.
"Yeah...I think I'm ready. And I think I'm ready to understand what I really have to do."
End Alice and Wonderland
