Chapter 6
The keyhole, and Princess of Heart (Day 3 Afternoon)
Last Time
Karen ran while slashing the heartless. "Gah, the heartless are...here...for Me." she ran stopping at a gate looking up seeing the dark looking castle. "Gotta get in there, quickly." she ran back some then quickly ran into the gate pushing it open quickly. "Yea!...Ow!" she rubbed her shoulder the nodded her head to herself and ran inside.
-Donald and Goofy-
They hid behind an old beaten up chair shivering a bit as the beast came in.
"I know your in here, I can smell your fear!" the Beast said in a Low growl.
"On the count of three we make a run for it!...one two-" Donald said then the beast hit the chair with his claws making Donald and Goofy jump!
"Guards come bring these two to the Castle Jail!" The Beast ordered as two spider like things came into the room, the beast threw the two into them!
"Waack!" Donald yelled loud enough for anyone to hear.
-Karen-
Karen heard the yell and slashed the heartless breathing deep for air. "Was that...Donald!" she hit the heartless as they entered then she shut the door behind her leaning against the door she slide down the side of it and breathed deeply for air as she looked up she saw something or someone coming her way. "Who's there?" she asked as she lifted up the keyblade, and out came!...
"Hiya their mam!"
Karen simply blinked and looked down at the mini teacup hopping next to her. "H-Hello!" she said still shocked sorta staring down with a strait face then, a teapot came bouncing in behind the teacup.
"Chip, don't scare her!...I'm so sorry about him he's just so perky before bed time." the teapot known as 'Mrs. Potts' said scooting the teacup away and was bouncing up, Karen got curious followed them into the kitchen.
"A kitchen?" Karen then noticed everything in the room was alive. "Maybe I can ask where Donald's yell came from...where's the teapot?" she looked over to the sink seeing Mrs. Potts scooting Chip into the sink, instantly she ran over to the sink stopping. "Excuse me, Mrs. teapot?"
"Oh oh my apologies, my name is Mrs. Potts!" she said turning around with a hop.
"Oh I'm Karen nice- oh never mind I need to know where that yell came from!" she asked a bit fast and demanding.
"Ah child, don't worry about the scream from the west wing!" Mrs. Potts looked over at Karen seeing she now knew where it was coming from! "No child don't go to the west wing!"
"I have no choice, my friends are in trouble and I made a promise I won't forget to them!" she turned around darting out the kitchen she ran towards the stairs that had two ways to go up! "I'm coming Donald, Goofy, and Belle!"
-Donald and Goofy-
"Aw nuts." Donald said crossing over his feathered arms. "First the gummi ship is broken, second we are in this castle jail!"
"Gawsh I sure hope Karen's okay, and hasn't been caught yet!" Goofy said but Donald hit him over the head.
"She has the key she'll be fine!" he snapped then heard footsteps. "Someone's coming!"
Karen poked her head into the gloomy dungeon and looked around. "Donald?...Goofy?...Belle?"
"Karen, Karen over here!" Donald yelled and Karen looked over and smiled and began running over to them. "Donald Goofy!" she looked over seeing the keys to the door. "I'll let you guys out quickly!" she ran over to the keys and back over to the cellar door opening it letting them out she then looked down at Donald. "Donald?"
"What is it?" he asked angry crossing his arms.
"I'm sorry for pulling the lever okay?" Karen did the lower lip thing making Donald groan then nod to her apology.
"It's okay. I'm sorry too." Donald said then looked up. "But we have to get out of here!"
"We can't yet!" Karen screamed after him.
"Why, Karen?" Goofy asked.
"Belle went missing, and her father is somewhere around this dungeon." Karen said, and then she saw the faces on there face. "Guys?"
"Belle, as in the princess of heart belle?" Donald asked out loud.
"Princess of heart?" Karen asked stepping in front of them. "What's that?"
"Seven chosen to open the final keyhole oh, which you're supposed to close." Donald said to fast Karen tilted her head.
"No idea what you said but the keyhole thing, I'm supposed to lock a big keyhole at hollow bastion?" she asked and Donald and Goofy looked amazed. "How...how did I know that?" she had a flash from the dream from two nights ago.
"Karen, are you sure your from that island?"
"Yes I'm sure."
"Okay, now lets go find Belle!" Donald ordered as Goofy Donald and Karen ran up the stairs.
West Wing
Karen ran up the stairs, then stopped half way seeing Donald and Goofy stop she then asked. "Guys, why are you stopping?"
"Don't go up there, the beast is crazy he sent us to the dungeon for going up there!" Donald said.
"Oh come on, we have to if he keeps us out we just push to go in!" she smiled, they nodded.
"Okay."
As they entered the west wing Karen looked at the table's on the ground the picture of a handsome prince torn by claw marks paper everywhere and a glowing rose across from them. "Look guys." Karen pointed at the rose. "It's so beautiful." she took off the lid but stopped hearing something land behind her Donald and Goofy gulped and pointed.
"What are you doing here!" the Beast lifted his hand up and was about to strike her but she blocked his claw with the keyblade.
"I'm looking for a friend of mine, taken into this castle her name is Belle!" she pushed him back and she jumped beside Donald and Goofy.
"I told you not to come up here!" he growled at them, Karen then stood in front of Donald and Goofy.
"Don't get mad at them I'm the one who came up here looking for someone." Karen said while holding the Keyblade up blocking Donald and Goofy. "They told me not to come up here but I didn't listen...so." she looked back at them then nodded. "Run!" she shouted they all three ran, and the Beast roared and ran really fast landing in front of them. "Ah!"
"Your not leaving!" he ordered the spider type of things to come, Karen took a step back holding the keyblade she turned back around ordering Donald and Goofy to follow her. "Guys when I yell Now grab a hold of me!" she shouted, she threw her keyblade breaking the glass and quickly she jumped up. "Now!" she jumped out the window with Donald on her back as well as Goofy, she as fast as possible threw her rope with the key at the end of it up towards a different room window, they hit the wall Karen said "Wow...that went really smooth...Donald climb up and pull use up!"
"Okay!" Donald said as he climbed the rope to the room he started pulling them up but stopped, "Whack!" Donald shouted, seeing a shadow approach him he kept pulling up the rope, and then the curtain was pushed back.
"Hello?"
Donald lost it and jumped while Goofy and Karen held for their lives.
"Donald! Stop freaking out you stupid duck and pull use up!" she shouted looking up seeing someone else, it was Belle! "Belle!"
"Karen, how on earth did you get like this?" Belle asked, Karen laughed.
"Heh long long story...but could you pull use up please? Goofys getting heavy!" Karen said as she was kinda slipping, Belle nodded.
"1, 2, 3!" Belle said as her and Donald started pulling them up slowly but process came and finally they reached the top. "Is everyone alright?"
Karen nodded "I think so...and finally found you Belle what happened?" she asked as she sat down catching her breath.
"I went outside just to wake up, and I was then taken to this room by the beast." Belle then looked down at Donald and smiled lifting him up with a hug. "I'm glad you came!"
Donald struggled out of his grip, Karen smiled. "Your welcome now we have to leave this place quickly!"
"You can not leave."
Karen stopped making her way to the door seeing someone in a black hooded coat.
"The princess of heart, a chosen one to open the final keyhole..." the unknown turned to Belle. "Young princess of heart, you're coming with me." the lifted up their hand making heartless appear before them Karen lifted her keyblade up. "Ah the keyblade told to close the door to darkness from the last wielder, and a king from a magical kingdom." Donald and Goofy knew they were talking about the King Mickey.
"Just who are you!" Karen asked while holding the keyblade up.
"I am known as Raxiel..." he took off his hood he had short spiky silver bluish hair, and then put his hood back on as the heartless grabbed Belle while Karen, Donald and Goofy were distracted.
"Belle!" Karen shouted as she was running towards them but a dark purple looking portal papered under them, Belle being held without any will disappeared into the darkness with Raxiel. "Belle." the person who took care of her was gone into the world of darkness. "So that's what you meant Donald?" she turned to him. "The Princess of heart...was Belle."
Donald nodded. "Yea, but don't look down okay Karen."
Karen nodded "We'll save her!" she smiled then blinked hearing a 'sping' noise. "Did you hear that?" she turned around.
"Hear what?" Goofy asked.
"That noise!" Karen shouted hearing it again she followed the noise into a big ballroom. "Awe...it so beautiful here..." she then heard it coming up ahead she stopped then started over walking, Goofy and Donald watched her walk towards the end of the room Karen pointed her keyblade up towards the ceiling it shined as a keyhole appeared up under her, the keyhole reacted and locked as the beam of light hit the keyhole locking it instantly Karen made the keyblade disappear.
Donald and Goofy had a flash back in this room Sora the old wielder of the keyblade did the exact same thing, except it was after the events with Ansem and all. "Karen, come on let's get out of here!"
Karen nodded. "Zack...Kya. I'm sorry I couldn't find you here but I promise you bouth." Karen reached Donald and Goofy.
"...I'll find you.."
-Gummi ship-
Karen became quiet sense she was sleepy. "Donald I think I'm going to get some sleep." she said rubbing her eyes he nodded. "Okay, Goofy will wake you up when we reach a new world!" Karen smiled and stood up beginning to the back then Donald stopped her. "Karen?"
Karen turned around. "Hm?"
"You, down there reminded me of Sora." Donald said.
"Sora?" Karen blinked. "As in the old wielder Sora?"
Donald nodded. "Yes, your like him more then you think."
Karen laughed. "Right!" she walked towards the back to the room laying in the warm bed she sighed closing her eyes as she slept it was that dream again.
•Dream•
"What the...Zack!" Karen took a step towards him, he stopped her she shook her head no. "Not this time I won't let you push me away!" she said to him, but he did pushing her down the icy type of slide she looked up seeing him disappear. "Not again...!" his heart then floated down at her she took it. "Your so close but far away at the same time."
Karen turned over but it continued.
Karen confronting Zack, he stood there.
"The truth...will set me free...Zack I know you like me, that's why I always felt the same way." she smiled; he did as well he held her in a hug and disappeared. "You feel so...warm?"
She then woke up sitting up.
"What a weird dream...I've been having those weird Dream's lately...I wonder if I'm okay or not..." she layback down and fell asleep.
