sorry for the long wait, I've been real busy, but I'm hoping that this one
will be as good as the others, anyway, here we go!
Chapter 10: The Reaper of Cards; the Flaming Amarant
Usagi sat in the far back of a large ship. Around her, Sora, Donald, and Goofy were controlling the ship. Sora, though new to flying, seemed to get the hang of it after a while, with a lot of help from Donald. The ship, Excalibur, as Sora named it, was fairly large, and seemed to be constructed of what seemed to be many gooey blocks, that came in many different shapes and colors, which reminded Usagi of building blocks. Gummis, Goofy had called them. She sat watching the back of Sora's head as it moved back and forth among the controls watching what he was doing, making sure he didn't for some reason of another make the ship blow up or something. The interior of the ship was large and spacious. With a set of stairs that led to a bunking room, a kitchen, and a small sort of living room.
Leon had helped them repair it after it had been damaged in Donald and Goofy's landing. After, Leon took them to see a man named Cid. Cid was bit old, being forty-five, but acted with the pep of a seventeen year old. His blond hair was graying, and in his mouth he held a piece of straw. On his head he wore a pair on pilot goggles. His clothing was a plain white T- shirt, with red stripes along the bottom of his sleeves, and a pair of brown kaki pants. He amused Usagi, and, after a bit of haggling from Sora, sold them a few items. Goofy was given a ring that seemed to be made of fire, Donald was given a chain to wear around his neck, and Usagi was given a ring that looked as cold as ice, but was as warm as a summer's day. It reminded Usagi of her time she spent with Sora on the balcony only hours before, Usagi smiled...
"Usagi!" Donald yelled, snapping her out of her lovely memory.
"Yes? Sorry, what's up?" Usagi said a little to upset. 'I was having a good time too...'
"Just wanted to warn you, I'm seeing some enemy ships on the radar, you might wanna hold on."
"Oh, alright, I'll get some potions ready, just in case" Using the money that Leon and the others had given them, they bought a couple things they thought they would need. Goofy, seeing his shield was rather beat up after the battle with Guard Armor, took the liberty of buying a new shield. Strapped to his back was now a large blue shield, looking like a normal eighteenth century shield. Gold strips with small bumps went across the shield horizontally and around the rim. Donald as well got something new. Next to him, in a scabbard on his belt, was a staff that was thin, with a green handle, and a yellow star on the top. Usagi also thought that it was time for a change of clothing, and kind of copied Yuffie when she did changed her clothes. Now she wore a blue tank top, with a white T-shirt underneath. On her right arm she had a grey bracer that came up to her elbow. She had on dark brown shorts that came to the top of her knees. She wore boots that were made for travel, and white socks that came to her mid shin. Her hair was tied in a loose pony tail that fell to her mid back, and was tied together with a green ribbon. Slung across her back was her bow.
"Um, guys, I just thought of something" Sora said.
"What's that?" Goofy asked
"Um...Who controls the gun...?"
"I do" Donald said as he continued his typing.
"Oh...ok, good" Sora seemed relieved.
"You just control the lasers"
"Oh that's goo-WHAT!?"
"Well I can't I'm working the shields" Goofy said.
"And if I'm controlling the guns, I can't control the lasers too" Donald said calmly.
"But I can't steer and control the lasers too!"
"I could do it" Usagi said. All three of them looked at her.
"Why not?" Goofy said "Ahuk, I mean, it won't be something like muddling"
"Meddling!" Donald corrected, "And no, you can't!"
"Why not?" Usagi asked.
"Cause you see-" Donald was cut off as a blast caused the ship to rock back and forth.
"Gwah, what was that!?" Donald asked after getting up.
"We're under attack!" Goofy yelled.
"What do we do?" Sora asked looking to Donald.
"Get the controls! Goofy, prepare the shields! Usagi...!" Donald hesitated.
"Yes?"
"...go gain control of the lasers, but be careful!" Donald then left to do his own work at his station. Usagi ran to the seat that was next to Goofy's, and took a look at the controls. Surprisingly, they looked like the controls she would use to play Sailor V. Usagi quickly looked again and placed her hand on the joystick just as another shock shook the ship. She composed herself and looked at the screen in front of her. Three enemy ships were on the screen. One was a small yellow and red ship, labeled a Sally, the other two were a bluish purple, labeled as Shiva.
"We have three on the scope!" Usagi said.
"I've got it!" Donald yelled as he began to fire the shots in rapid succession. The lasers sped into the night, as it sped past it hit one of then Shivas, sending it hurdling into the night. Usagi looked in her scope as the blue targeting bracket went back and forth trying to lock onto one of the ships. It suddenly turned red as the other Shiva flew by. Usagi, shocked, fired the lasers, and watched as two green and red lights flew from the bottom of the ship just missing the Shiva ship, only to be hit some time later by another shot from the guns.
"Sorry, I missed" Usagi said.
"It's fine, just don't miss again!" Donald yelled not looking up from his scope.
"Heads up!" Sora's voice suddenly rang. The ship suddenly gave a huge lurch, and it shook with great intensity.
"Yeah hoo ho ho hoie!" Goofy fell from his post and rolled into Donald's seat, "Ahuk...they got threw the shields..."
"Alright, Usagi, he's on your side, see if u can hit him! I'll get us out of here as fast as I can!" Sora's hands worked fast over the controls as he flew the ship out of harms way. Usagi looked harshly around on her scope. She saw it flying around near the wing. Quickly she pressed the button, letting loose the swirling colors again. It hit its target directly, without so much as any difficulty. After the initial threat was gone, each member relaxed visually.
"What a carnie ride eh fellas!" Goofy's voice yelled easing the heavy air around them. After a few more hours of flying, Sora noticed something on his screen.
"Guys, what's this?" On the screen there was what seemed to be a whole other planet. You could visibly see a large castle that seemed to be made of cards, and a large forest that covered half the planet.
"Our next destination..." Donald said, on the screen, one word was in the corner acting as a label, Wonderland.
Unknown as of yet
"I'm working as best I can you witch, don't expect this to be easy" A man was standing in the middle of a large forest. He seemed to know that Maleficent was behind him, for he spoke before she had made her presence known. He wore a black cloak that covered most of his body, it weaved around his body as the wind blew, removing his hood fore a few seconds. He was tall, and his build was strong, which was evident, even through his cloak. His hair was long and a deep red, and covered his eyes. On his pail chin there was a goatee, and he wore a small gold earring in his left ear. He quickly pulled his hood up again, showing his deadly red steel claw on his right hand.
"You are the best at your trade; I didn't think you would need so much time" Her cold voice said.
"Well, it will. And for your information, I don't like what I do, but I need money"
"I don't care about your tales, have you seen them?!"
"Not yet, but I can feel it getting closer"
"Then hurry up and take care of it!" with that she was gone. The man visibly sighed and looked to the stars.
"You better be out there, cause if your not I'm not gonna save your ass again..." With a quick movement, he was soon gone.
Rabbit Hole
They were floating, that was fairly easy to tell, and each of them was falling slowly down a large hole. How they got there Usagi couldn't tell you, but there they were. She looked to the others and laughed. Donald looked like he was having trouble staying upright, while Sora and Goofy were "swim racing" around the hole. She looked up and at the walls. They seemed to be covered with paintings of furniture and other assorted objects. Usagi looked at them and could have sworn that they were real. She looked below and saw the ground finally coming up. As her feet touched the ground, she almost lost her balance and stumbled, but quickly regained her composure. Sora and Donald landed easily, but Goofy, cause he wasn't paying attention, fell face first on the ground, causing a chuckle from the others. Suddenly a voice came from a small white rabbit in a fancy red coat as he ran by.
"I'm late, I'm late, oh goodness, I'm here, I should be there!" he said in almost a chant as he ran.
"Who was...?" Sora started, but stopped after Donald said it didn't mater. The walked down the hall seeing more paintings and a large door at the end of the short hallway. As they neared it, it opened all on its own, showing another, smaller door, again an again it did the same till a door the size of Usagi opened. They walled through to see a strange room. The walls were painted pink, and as they looked around, they saw the rabbit again, even smaller, then before...a lot smaller.
"How'd he do that?" Donald asked as he walked to the small door the rabbit had walked through.
"How do we get in...?It's too small" Sora asked.
"No, you're simply too big" a voice coming from the door said. Shocked, they looked down to see the door knob yawn. "What's with yawn all the racket, can't a doorknob get any sleep around here?" he said sleepily.
"Sorry, we just, want to know how to get through" Usagi said.
"Why not try the bottle?" they looked behind them at the sound of something popping. Suddenly there was a round table with a single chair; on the table were two bottles, one that said on the label, 'Up', and the other had on it 'Down'.
"Ok...who wants to go first?" Sora said.
"Oh! Let me try! Goofy grabbed the bottle and drank it in one gulp. As he placed it down, hit body began to tingle. Suddenly there was a flash, and Goofy was gone.
"Goofy, where are you!?" Donald asked.
"Down here" a squeaky voice said. They looked at the table and saw a much smaller Goofy standing there. "Ahuk, you guys all grew!"
"No Goofy...you shrunk"
"Oh, well that's a little goofy" he said scratching the back of his neck.
"Goofy, why don't you try to get trough the door, and then you can tell us what you see, alright?" Sora said.
"Yeah, ok!" So Donald, very carefully, picked up Goofy wad set him in front of the talking door. Each member of the group bent down in front of the door in order to talk to it easier.
"Excuse me, can you let me through?" Goofy said to the door. There was a loud snore, but the door made no move to open.
"HEY! Let him through!" Donald yelled, but still no movement.
"Please?" Usagi asked nicely.
The doorknob opened one eye and said annoyed "What?!"
"Can you let Goofy through?"
"No"
"No! Why not?!" Donald yelled.
"Because, the Queen will yell at me"
"Well, we really need to get inside" Sora said.
"There's another way in, yawn try the bed, now leave me be" with that the doorknob went back to sleep. Sora, confused, got up and walked to the bed, being careful about Goofy. He bent down and examined it, underneath, under the sheets, everything. When he looked underneath again, he saw something.
"Hey, there's a hole in the wall!" Sora then began trying to push the bed out of the way, but when he slightly began to push, it suddenly retraced into the wall, becoming just another painting on the wall. The hole was the same size as the talking door, and in seemed to lead into a garden of some sorts.
"Let's go drink that stuff, and then let's go see where that door leads" Usagi said as she walked to the table.
After drinking, falling, crying and yelling, each member made it through the door. As they slowly walked through the door, they could hear voices yelling back and forth. In the middle of a clearing of the white rose garden. There was what seemed to be a trial going on. There were cards, Hearts and Spades, acting as guards, the Hearts holding spears, and the Spades holding axes. In the middle of the clearing was a platform, standing there, facing the judge, was a young girl. It was easy to tell she had no idea what was going on. Her blond hair was long and held with a black hair band. She wore a light blue summer dress with a while apron around her waist. She looked like she was about, 12, 13, none of them could tell. She was staring forward, fear in her blue eyes. In front of her was an even larger platform, and on it sat a large woman with black hair held in a bun by the gold crown she wore, the Queen, they presumed. She wore royal clothing that was mostly red and a large cape that was a deep red. Just then, the white rabbit they had seen earlier ran by with a trumpet. With a great breath, he blew a string of notes, after he had finished, he yelled.
"CORT IS NOW IN SESION! Her majesty, the Queen of hearts presiding!" The young girl looked up shocked and said "I'm, on trial...but why?!"
"Silence!" The Queen yelled, "This is the case of the State vs. Alice, you have been charged and found guilty of all that you have been accused of, and the reason is...BECAUSE I SAID SO THAT'S WHY!" Her voice shook the ground beneath their feet. Sora looked appalled.
"Shouldn't we do something?" Sora said.
"We can't, we're not from here, so that would be muddling-"
"Meddling!" Donald corrected.
"Right, and that's wrong" Goofy finished. Usagi looked at Sora and Sora looked at Usagi.
"Now, have you anything to say in your defense?" The Queen asked the girl known as Alice.
"Yes" she spoke in a quiet, sweet voice, "I have done absolutely nothing wrong, and just because you're Queen doesn't give you the right to be so...so mean! And further more-"
"Silence!" The Queen yelled causing a gush of wind to flow from her, "How dare you say those things to me! I'm Queen so what I say goes! And now, for your sentence, for the attempted capture of my heart..."
"Heart...!" Each warrior said as they looked at each other.
"OFF WITH HER HEAD!"
"Stop!" Sora yelled as he led the group of four into the clearing. Alice looked at her saviors surprised.
"What?! Who are you?!"
"We know who attacked you, and it wasn't this girl"
"Yeah, it was the Heartl-" Goofy began but was stopped by Usagi and Donald's hands coving his mouth.
"Anyway, it wasn't Alice"
"Have you any proof?" the Queen asked casually.
"Um...well, I"
"Got you!" A voice yelled. Everyone looked around for the source of the voice, but found none, but suddenly there was a scream from behind them. They turned and saw one of the card soldiers on the ground; a large chunk was taken out of him, and above him stood a man in a hooded cloak and a blood red claw on his right hand. He looked to the group and, with great speed, came to them and grabbed the girl known as Alice and disappeared.
"Wha-What?!" Sora yelled as he looked around.
"So you are Sora, hm?" The looked up to a tree that was near them and saw the hooded man standing there with Alice held under his left arm like a log, looking scared.
"What do you want?!" Usagi asked.
"Look, don't make this hard, all I want is that sword you carry" He said pointing to Sora.
"Never!" As if sensing it's need, the blade materialized in Sora's hand.
"Hey, I'm just doing my job, come to the far end of the forest if you want this little one alive" quietly he whispered to Alice 'Look little one, I hate doing stuff like this as much as I'm sure you do, so don't worry I'm not gonna hurt you'
"Who are you?! You...Monster!" Usagi yelled aiming her bow.
"Hold it, put that away" With a quick flick of his wrist a small dagger was sent flying through the air, knocking the silver bow from Usagi's hand, "And as to who I am, I guess I can let you know that. I'm called the Reaper, or if you prefer, call me the Flaming Amarant" With a quick movement, once again, he was gone.
FINALY!! Ok I hope you all like this one, because I had to completely stop doing homework to finish this, but schools almost over so, YEAH! Well anyway, hope you enjoyed it, later!

They turned and saw one of the card soldiers on the ground; a large chunk was taken out of him, and above him stood a man in a hooded cloak and a blood red claw on his right hand. He looked to the group and, with great speed, came to them and grabbed the girl known as Alice and disappeared.
"Wha-What?!" Sora yelled as he looked around.
"So you are Sora, hm?" The looked up to a tree that was near them and saw the hooded man standing there with Alice held under his left arm like a log, looking scared.
"What do you want?!" Usagi asked.
"Look, don't make this hard, all I want is that sword you carry" He said pointing to Sora.
"Never!" As if sensing it's need, the blade materialized in Sora's hand.
"Hey, I'm just doing my job, come to the far end of the forest if you want this little one alive" quietly he whispered to Alice 'Look little one, I hate doing stuff like this as much as I'm sure you do, so don't worry I'm not gonna hurt you'
"Who are you?! You...Monster!" Usagi yelled aiming her bow.
"Hold it, put that away" With a quick flick of his wrist a small dagger was sent flying through the air, knocking the silver bow from Usagi's hand, "And as to who I am, I guess I can let you know that. I'm called the Reaper, or if you prefer, call me the Flaming Amarant" With a quick movement, once again, he was gone.
