Author's Notes: Yeah, the 20th chapter to Anime Kingdom! I'm so happy! Anyways, I'm waiting for the 80th review though. Maybe at the 30th chapter, I probably get a 100 reviews (this will defiently make me very happy)! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention about Naruto. I watch the show on Cartoon Network, but I didn't sound interested in it. To tell you the truth, I'm just not a big fan of ninjas ;-;. Don't take this seriously Naruto fans, there are a lot of people who doesn't like the show too. I'm just the first to admit it. It's a good storyline, but I just don't sound interested in it and I don't get the point. It reminds me more of Rurouni Kenshin, with all the Japanese techniques and weapon names. Speaking of Rurouni Kenshin, this anime will be in Anime Kingdom 2. Hope you're surprised.

In this chapter, Reiha has everything under control, but Nakago isn't very happy with her. You get to see your Final Fantasy heroes again with a Vampire Princess Miyu character (one of my favorite characters from the show), and more Keyblade action. Plus, Miaka is with the Heartless. Did I tell you last time that this Chapter is not Episode 3 of Fushigi Yuugi? Enjoy the informative fighting chapter.


Chapter 20: Priestess no Miko

Library

Yui picks up where the heroes left off. She turns the page and a new chapter was created. She read what the words said in the book, "Up in the peak of the Emperor's castle, lies a great and powerful darkness that no one can stand up to. The ice witch made her move as she turns the Suzaku region into ice."

Tower of Ice

Reiha finished turning the region into ice and darkness. She held Miaka captive in a ice coffin where she can't escape. Reiha smirked. She'd finally realized that her plans have actually worked.

"I see you found the girl," a strange, masculine voice echoes in the room. Nakago's footsteps came from the door and stopped at where Miaka was in her coffin of ice.

The ice witch closed her eyes. "Yes, she was an easy catch," she said, not looking at Nakago.

Nakago was in the shadows with half of his yellow hair gleaming, and his blue eyes showing through the darkness. "So, all we have to do now is find the keyhole."

"We don't have to do anything, but I have mice to kill," Reiha said, rather coldly. She walks off without looking away.

"Yes, you do that, but I have to set up a battle."

Reiha stopped, and looks at Nakago. "What battle?"

"M'Lady, I'm going to confront the Key Holder and his pals. They seem to be in this castle with the emperor."

"They are already useless, why do you want to confront them?"

"You are going against my word, Reiha," Nakago said softly.

Reiha turns around and walks away. "So..."

"You are already this close of being killed, don't disapoint me or Queen Beryl again." Reiha stopped as Nakago almost leaves out of here.

"I will fell worthy when I get through with you!" Reiha formed an icy energy ball and threw it at Nakago, but it misses as he dodges; hits the wall and covered it with ice.

"Pathetic little ice witch!" He withdrew his sword and fought Reiha to the bitter end. As he slashes his sword everywhere, the marks left by him gets cut in half. And as Reiha uses ice, the ice formed everywhere, leaving a tundra climate in the tower.

Downtown China

It was like a ghost town filled with ice as the Hallow Bastion dwellers approached it. They has to witness it where there was nobody here. While Aerith and Cid were walking, Cloud suddenly stops and looks at the tip of the Emperor's Castle.

"Cloud, what's wrong?" Aerith looks at him and questions.

"Look at the tower of that palace. Can you feel the intense power lurking around it?"

Aerith closes her eyes and envisions it that there was indeed immense darkness. "Yes, I do."

"That should probably be the Heartless headquarters."

"Cloud, Aerith, look!" Cid shouted. A form of Shadow and Invisible Heartless had risen out of the ice Downtown.

"Heartless!"

"Aerith, get behind me," Cloud said, moving Aerith out of the way. He took out his 'sword' and slash a Heartless, there were more than he can count.

Suddenly, a light shines in front of Cloud's face, and obliterated all the Heartless. There, came a man in a rope with his wavy blue hair and mask on. He was kind enough not the be a Heartless, and he was weird-looking enough not to be one of dwellers here. So the question is, who is he?

"Excuse me, do mind me asking, but who are you?" Cloud asked.

He bows down, in sense of response. "My name is Larva, and I came from a world faraway destroyed by the Heartless. Those beings took over my world and capture Miyu too."

"Miyu?" Aerith questioned.

"Yes, she was actually one of the Princesses of Heart."

"The Princesses of Heart?"

"Wait a minute," Aerith remembered, "Maleficent use to gather all the Princesses of Heart to open the final keyhole."

"Maleficent? Maybe I heard of her wicked deed from somewhere, but this is one of the most powerful sorceress in the anime realms. Her name is Queen Beryl and she has been searching everywhere for the missing princesses. There are only eight of them and she's indeed to find them."

"Queen Beryl, sounds like she is in a line of royalty," Cid said. "Where did she come from?"

"No one knows where, but she is residing her troops at the Moon Kingdom where another 'Princess' lives. It once says that the Princess there is the key of all the princess, so maybe Queen Beryl is using her as bait to lure all the other seven princesses. They have Miyu, but think of how many princesses she has captured in that Kingdom."

"We have to stop her before she gets all the princess and takes over this realm!" Aerith shouted.

"You're not from this realm are you?" Larva questioned.

"I see you found out."

"Did you came here when your world was destroyed?"

Cid said, "No, we came here by Sailor Pluto's commands. It seems ergant."

"Oh, is that so? Did you know that Sailor Pluto also came from the Moon Kingdom?"

"So does that mean she's the Princess?" Aerith added.

"No, she's not. She wouldn't have left her world if she really was."

"Now we know who are we going against here, so the question still remains, where can we find the keyhole to this world?"

"Hmm, I heard from one of the dewelers here that the key is inside a person's heart."

"But who's?"

"I don't know, but he once said that it's a heart so pure that it takes one of the seven powers of an senshi to activate it. A senshi is powered by the gods that used to surround this world, and he is chosen by what character he has tattooed on his body."

"Hey didn't that guy from before look like he had a character on his forehead?" Aerith questioned, as she envisions the man she saw earlier has a tattoo.

"He must be one of the seven powers!" Cloud said. "I believe he is with the key. So where did he go?"

Larva looked at the tower of ice, and thought of it. "If you ask me, I think they went inside that castle. The Emperor's Castle."

"We have to hurry." The four ran towards the Emperor's home without stopping.

Emperor's Castle

Sora, Donald, Goofy, Tamahome, and the Emperor, who claims to be Hotohori, were at stairs to the Tower of Ice, where Miaka is held captive. "The Priestess no Miko?" Donald questioned.

Hotohori closed his beak. "Shh, not so loud," he said in a whisper. "It once say that she is the one who protects the world."

"So what happens if Miaka's power is turned over the the darkness?" Sora asked.

"Then...this world will be automatically destroyed," Tamahome said.

Donald quacks in terror as all his pals gathered around and shuts him up.

"Would you please be quiet for once, you flightless bird?" Hotohori asked. Then, somehow something creep on the stairs. There lies a Ice Heartless. "Uh oh, someone found us first!"

"My turn. Get back you huge ant!" Tamahome hand grew an blue aura, and punched the Heartless away.

Tower of Ice

Nakago grabs Reiha by her kimono collar, and she sounded like she was in pain. Blood drooped down her face, and her kimono was easily slashed. "Any last worlds, Lady Reiha?" Nakago asked. Reiha was very wounded and she was grunting in pain, so she could hardly speak. "I thought so. You always was the failure." Nakago smirked slams her to the wall. He then looks at Miaka, sleeping in her own ice coffin. "So what to do about you, Priestess." His hands almost reached Miaka. Until...

"Don't touch her!" said Tamahome appearing through the door with Hotohori.

"Oh yes, the money grubber and the emperor? Classic."

"Hey!" Sora came out from the door with Donald and Goofy behind.

"And the little boy who holds the key, too."

"Leave Miaka alone," Sora said, taking out his keyblade.

Nakago grinned and laughed so evily. "You need all the help you can boys because this world will be mine. But first, I must dispose of this girl." He almost touches Miaka until Tamahome swiftly came behind his back and choke him to death.

"No, you won't," Tamahome said, trying to restrained him.

"Are you a fool?" Nakago said, pushing him back by force. "Sorry, but this fairy tale is over!" Nakago raised in hands in the air and darkness sparm out of him.

"The greatest of evil covers the world, and change the world of ice and cover it into darkness..."

Nakago turns into Darkness and all over her body, was tattooed with blue marks and his senshi character was glowing redder and redder. He summoned a gust of black wind against them. Nakago suddenly looks at Miaka and withdrew his sword, chokes her by the neck, and tried to stab her in her coffin. "Farewell, Priestess!"

"No, don't do it!" Sora shouted. He stops and looks at Sora. "Take me, I have the keyblade. Spare her life, and I will take her place." Nakago looks at him with an evil and lets go of Miaka's neck. He comes towards at Sora with no hestitant.

"Sora!" Goofy and Donald screamed out his name. But nothing moved him. Donald tried to attack Nakago to stop him, but he had a force field around him that bounce Donald off.

"Sora, you musn't!" Hotohori begged him, but still nothing could not budge him to stop.

"I'm sorry, you guys!" Sora said to himself, and closed his eyes.

"Aren't you a little fool?" Nakago said to him, and snatch the keyblade right of his hands. Then he took his sword and his keyblade and crossed it towards his throat. "Now, without your keyblade, nothing can stop me!" He tooks the two weapons and backs off of him.

"Sora, are you stupid? That was the Keyblade!" Donald said to him.

Sora looks down all hopeless. "I know, but... I know where the Key to the Keyhole is..." Sora looks up and smiles like everything is okay, "...and they're is nothing that can stop it."

Nakago stopped and turns around to look at Sora. "You..." He walks towards, "...where is the Key to the Keyhole?" Sora didn't say a word, he just smiled back. "I will annihilate you!"

"Sora!" Someone grabbed Nakago by his neck and tries to get him away from Sora. "Get away from him!" It was Tamahome. He got the Keyblade out of Nakago's hands and gives it to Sora.

"Donald, Goofy, get Miaka," Sora commanded.

"Right!" The two ran towards the coffin and tries to get Miaka out, but she was too heavy to carry.

Nakago suddenly knows. "Of course, the girl..."

"He knows! Now, hurry!" Hotohori said.

"You stopped me so I wouldn't destroy that girl." Nakago release a force that sent Tamahome flying and onto the ground. Donald used his wand and cast a Stopga spell on him, but he was way too strong for it to be cast on. "You are the one!" Donald used a fire spell and it ended up reflection him back.

"Donald!" Goofy called out.

"Goofy, hurry!" Sora encouraged him. Goofy got Miaka out of the ice coffin and pull her far back from Nakago, who was creepily walking towards them.

Suddenly, a strong hero came out of nowhere and slams his big sword at Nakago. Nakago got his sword and slams at his. The two were actually sword fighting. Cloud was trying to push him back, so he would not harm the Priestess no Miko.

"Cloud!"

When Cloud got too close enough to Goofy and Miaka, he took Miaka by his arms and fought with the other hand.

"I will not let you interfere!" Nakago said.

"Fight with me, then come get the girl!" When Nakago tries to slam his sword at him, he quickly goes behind him and lets Miaka go with Sora. "Here, take her!"

Aerith, Cid, Larva came from the door to see this. Larva saw what was happening and looked at Reiha all in the corner wounded. He walks towards her in surprise.

"Lady Reiha, are you okay?" Larva said, wobbling her back and forth so she could wake up. She had woken up, and saw him staring at her.

"L-Larva?"

"Please, we must leave!" Larva said grabbing her hand, but she refused to go.

"But I won't go until I rescue Miyu. Larva, I'm sorry. But I am on the side of the Heartless now. To get Miyu back, I must attend to Queen Beryl's every need."

"Reiha, you don't need to join sides with the darkness. With the power of light itself can shine through the darkness, and together we can find Miyu." Reiha looks up at Larva in surprise. She believe in his every word, and she believe that she and him can find Miyu someday...and they'll be together back in their world.

Cloud could not believe his strength. It suddenly increase every time the darkness increases. Nakago crush Cloud's sword and made Cloud fall onto the ground.

Miaka open her eyes and saw Sora, staring at her. "Sora." She then saw Nakago behind him with his sword ready to stabbed Sora. "Sora!"

"Miaka!" Sora shouted.

"NO!" Everyone else shouted out of what they have witnessed. And a light came out of nowhere...

"The girl stepped in front of the Key Holder and... the whole world went silent."


Footnotes:

1. Larva is Miyu's silent friend and partner whoms a Shinma and wears a mask. Larva came from a world faraway which was destroyed by the Heartless. He searches to Miyu, who seems to be missing. Will he find her? Larva appeared to destroy Miyu in 'Vampire Princess Miyu' (1988).

2. Guess who's the princess from the Moon Kingdom (it's not very tough for the Sailor Moon fans)?

3. Sailor Pluto comes from the Moon Kingdom. Don't get her mixed up that she comes from the planet, Pluto, in this fanfic.

4. Miaka is the key to revealing the keyhole in the Fushigi Yuugi world.
