Don't own anything! NOTHING!
"There's this girl named Winry. She's an, okay person. Just really emotional. Very sensitive. Anything I do she cries. Oh, and she might be a normal person on the outside, but she's a machine geek! Don't mess with her, unless you want a big bump on your forehead!"
Sora remembered how Ed described her. "SO this is the "machine geek?" She doesn't look like it..." Sora stared at her curiously.
"?... What?" Winry asked. "You heard of me?"
"Well, you can say something like that..." He scratched his head.
"You have? The word of Rockbell's Automail has reached your ears?" Her eyes started to gleam.
"Auto-what?"
"Hmm? You haven't heard of the work I do?"
"No, not really..."
She lowered head with a heavy sigh, "Oh..."
"Um, anyway, we gotta find some kind of evidence-"
"Evidence? I don't know anything about that. Last thing I remember was in Risenbul... one second, I saw Ed and Al doing something... Where's Ed and Al?"
"... I don't know." Sora remembered she was very sensitive. "If I tell her that Ed is with Maleficent, she probably won't know, but she'll find out maybe. Best not to tell her."
She sighed again. "It's probably his fault I'm here." She layed her hand on her hips and looked around.
"Hey, uh, tell me what kind of work you do again... Auto-"
"Mail. Automail."
"Is that... mailing or-"
"Well, it's like... a robotics kind of thing. Like for example, if you don't have a leg, I can give you a metal leg. Or like if your arm or something is missing, I'll make one out of metal."
"Metal leg? That's auto mail?"
"Yep."
In search for some kind of evidence, the two of went almost everywhere. And they found two kinds. An antenna, and a claw.
They both returned to the Queens garden. Goofy and Donald remained at the castle, locked up behind bars, and the other blonde, Alice remained behind bars also.
"Okay, you! We have the evidence!" Sora pointed at the Queen from afar.
"Address me as 'your majesty'" The Queen shouted.
"Your majesty..." he growled.
She looked that the two boxes. "How can you find evidence so fast?"
"Eh?"
"You can only be the thief if you can bring me evidence, guards, seize them!"
"Hey, that's not fair!" Winry shouted, but it was to late, as they where already surround by guards.
"Man... Winry! Run!" He said, trying to keep back the cards.
Winry ran to the exit, but it was nowhere to be found. "Where's the exit?"
Suddenly, behind Sora, was a small brown castle like tower. A card of hearts raced to the tower and turned the wheel to alarm the other cards. "That's it, the tower!"
Goofy and Donald escaped the gates. They ran over to protect Winry from the guards. One by one they smacked it and knocking them unconscious. Sora was fighting them, and destroying the tower. The cards where hitting him, but they weren't really strong. After knock most of the guards unconscious, Sora then attacked the tower, he was hitting it slowly, due to all of the fighting he did before with the cards. The Ace of Hearts regained his conscious and his strength. He ran towards Sora to stop him, but Sora successfully destroyed the tower. The Queen started wide-eyed at him, while Sora huffed and puffed, staring at her, with his eyebrows low.
"Your next..." He said, exhaustingly, "If you don't let her go..."
She called a card to pull down the gate holding the blonde haired girl. He removed the curtain, but she wasn't there.
"Wha-?"
"You fools, you let her escape! Find her!"
The cards ran around everywhere, even in circles, looking for the girl. Goofy and Donald were tired also. Winry was behind them, watching the whole fight. She held looked up at Sora. "Are you okay?"
"Em... I'm fine.." He struggled to say. He stood and held his arm with his hand.
"Maybe all three of you should take a break."
"No-"
Winry looked at Sora again, in surprise. "What? But you're-"
"This can't stop me, besides, I'm looking for some people, and I can't rest. I have to keep going."
"But what about..."
"We're fine!" Donald said with a smile.
"..." Winry lowered her eyes and folded her hands.
"Yeah, ayuck, don't worry about us!" Goofy pointed to himself, grinning.
Sora walked past her. "I can't stop, even if I'm hurt. I'll keep going." He walked towards the door leading to the room he first came from. Goofy and Donald followed.
Winry started to cry a bit, even if she barely know him. "He reminds me of Ed. So determined..."
When they went back, they found a surprise. A very big one. A boss very tall, paper like heartless, who juggles fireballs fell from the roof to the floor of the room. He landed in front to Sora and the others. "Crap...this isn't good, and I haven't recovered yet."
The four spread out. Winry ran under the table, making the her not seen by the tall heartless. Sora, Goofy and Donald attacked the heartless with all of their might. Donald was a black mage, using magic whenever possible. Goofy was a Protector of some sort, defending Sora whenever he fell to his knees. The Heartless damaged Goofy the most, since he was after Sora. Donald used blizzard to deal major damage to it. Over and over, Donald used magic, Sora was to injured to fight, and Goofy protected him.
Sora looked up at him, with one eye closed "Goofy..."
"I'm not gonna let my best buddy be killed in this battle, nope!" He said, being proud of taking the damage for him.
"Help!" Winry shouted.
The two turned to see, and saw that the table above Winry has become flat and appeared under her. The Heartless was about to attack, but Sora ran to stop it. With a powerful blow, Sora swung at its legs, and the heartless fell, defeated. It was shining and fading away. A heart flew from its body and disappeared in the air. Everyone stared in amazement.
"Wow!" Donald flipped.
"Ayuck!" Goofy laughed at Donald.
Winry walked over to Sora. He was on his knees, breathing heavily. "You okay?" she said softly.
"...Yeah. I'll be fine." He slowly got to his feet. "Now... where's that keyhole Cid mentioned?" He looked around the room, trying to spot a Keyhole. Then something came to his mind. That sleeping door had a mouth like a keyhole, wonder if that's it. He walked over to the door, and it was sleep as usual. The Keyblade shook and gluon in his hand.
"Whoa!" The Keyblade gave off a light to the keyhole. They heard a lock from it. Then the room was silent.
After a few minutes, they headed to the exit. In the Rabbit Hole, Winry had to ask, "How are we getting out of here?"
Sora smiled and laughed, "Our Gummi Ship of course!"
"Is there anymore monsters out there?" Winry shook.
"Yep! Lots more!" He laughed.
"No! I'm not going!"
"Wanna stay here with the Queen?"
With no need to think about it, Winry went with them. The four entered the Gummi Ship and headed to the next world. Inside, Winry asked what world they are going to next.
Sora answered, "Well, I don't know, I don't pilot the ship, Donald does. Hey Donald," He called out to him, "Let's go, and surprise us with the next world!"
Meanwhile, inside Hollow Bastion, a group of dark figures surrounded a cauldron, watching every move Sora makes.
"What a troublesome boy!" Oogie Boogie, a large sack of bugs shouted.
"Lets turn him into a heartless! That would be easy!" Ursula the sea witch laughed.
"Be patient." Maleficent hissed, "He his following every step according to our plan. He is very useful to us, if we want to open the final door." She smirked, "If he doesn't want to help, I'm sure the other boy would glad to help."
"You mean the handsome one?" Ursula laughed again.
"Yes, that one. He has fallen into darkness, and is now ours." She waved her staff and the cauldron revealed Ed lying still, covered with black veins. "Now, we must wait until the Keyblade master makes his way here. He and the girl will have a big surprise..."
