Title: Kingdom Hearts goes to Oz

Disclaimer: None of the Square or Disney characters belong to me.

Note: Thanks to everyone who has been reading so far. I'm sure you are all excited to see how Kairi handles being captured by mean, old Maleficent. Oh yeah, someone accused me of stealing the idea of random author/director character, which I knew nothing of when I started writing this. I must inform people that I, Drakena, am the author of this story, so I'll just refer to myself and not just the author from now on.

Chapter 11: Capture and Mountain Climbing

The winged Heartless monkeys (Powerwilds with wings) dropped Kairi and Pluto in the circular chamber of the tower. Maleficent was standing near the crystal ball where she had been waiting for Kairi's arrival.

"I've got you, my pretty," said the witch, "and your little dog too!"

"You made a mistake, Maleficent," said Kairi coldly, "because I intend to kill you! YAH!" She charged toward Maleficent with her Keyblade.

"Stopaga!" Maleficent shrieked as she waved her staff to stop Kairi in mid run. Kairi was standing stiff as a statue, in a pose of taking a long stride, only her eyes could still move and she was still able to speak.

"You witch!" screamed Kairi.

Pluto began to bark at Maleficent, but the witch ignored the dog and approached Kairi.

"You little fool," the witch said mockingly. "You might have a Key, but you're still no match against me! Now I can take what is my right!" She bent over to remove the ruby slippers from Kairi's feet, but there was a pink barrier of energy that formed around the slippers, which caused Maleficent to rear away with a hiss.

"Nah nah nah nah nah nah!" mocked Kairi. "You can't get the slippers!"

"Don't you dare mock me!" Maleficent, with hatred glowing in her yellow eyes, towered over Kairi. "It seems the power of your heart is preventing me from taking the slippers from you!" The witch stroked her chin thoughtfully. "However, if I were to find a way for your heart to be consumed by Darkness, I can take the ruby slippers once and for all!"

"You're crazy!"

Pluto barked even louder at Maleficent.

"I've had enough of you, mutt!" Maleficent said wickedly as she advanced on Pluto. "Now you will see what happens to mischievous dogs!"

"Pluto," shouted Kairi, "run for it!"

The dog did as he was told and ran right past Maleficent and out the door, which was left open because Maleficent forgot to close it.

"Damn that mutt!" Maleficent screamed, blasting Firaga spells at Pluto but every shot missed the dog as he ran down the stairs.

When Pluto reached the bottom of the stairs, he was being swarmed by Heartless Soldiers and Large Bodies. As the Heartless closed in, Pluto jumped out of the way causing the enemies to ram into each other. Pluto ran down the corridor to the entrance where the drawbridge was being lifted to prevent escape. Taking a chance, the dog ran up the bridge and leapt across the gap and landed safely on the other side. Pluto forced a grin at the drawbridge, then ran towards the mountains to find the others.

"Ha!" laughed Kairi. "Pluto got away and he's going to get the others! When they get here, they'll kick your ass!"

"Watch your mouth!" Maleficent screeched. "Your friends won't make it on time to help you!" She grabbed a large hourglass and flipped it so the sand would start falling. "You have until the sand runs out before the Darkness consumes you, then the ruby slippers will be mine!" She charged out the door, slamming it behind her.

"Oh shit," Kairi muttered as the Stopaga spell wore off. "This isn't good." She tried her Key on the door, but the Key couldn't undo the lock. "Damn, she must have placed a curse on the lock so I couldn't use my Key!"

Kairi began pacing the room. "Hope those guys get here on time to get me out of this heap instead of going at each other's throats! Holy crap, I have to keep my mind off of that stinking hour glass! Think something sexy! Think something sexy! Think something sexy! Oh, not working!"

"Kairi," said the familiar voice of Kairi's grandmother, "where are you?"

"Grandmother?" asked Kairi. She approached the crystal ball to find a vision of her grandmother looking very worried.

"Where in the world are you?" the voice of her grandmother continued.

"Oh, grandmother," groaned Kairi, "I'm in another stinking world! Can't you hear me through this damn crystal ball? I'm right here! Grandmother, I think I'm going crazy!"

Then the vision of her grandmother blurred out and there was Maleficent in the vision, cackling.

"Oh, grandmother! Oh, grandmother!" Maleficent shrieked in an imitation of Kairi's voice. The witch burst into laughter that caused Kairi's blood to freeze. Then the vision of Maleficent blurred away into darkness.

"Oh jeez," whimpered Kairi. "It's not the Darkness that worries me, it's how long I'll be able to keep my sanity!" She yanked her hair in frustration. "Must not let this place get to me!"

"I wonder how long Kairi will stay sane before the hourglass runs out," said Sora. "She seems very frustrated."

"It won't be long," said Drakena, the author of this crazy parody. "She'll eventually be cursing and pacing, but then the guys will find her shortly before she completely goes insane and the sand runs out."

Cut to the mountains where Pluto was heading. Goofy, Axel, and Simba were climbing over the rocks. Axel had the most difficulty with his costume, he stumbled on the rocks and grabbed Simba's tail to regain his footing.

"Hey!" roared Simba. "Stop yanking my tail!"

"Well sorry!" argued Axel. "I had to grab something!"

"Grabbing my tail hurts!"

"Guys," said Goofy, "we can't get over this mountain if we keep arguing!"

Axel grunted and released Simba's tail, grabbing onto ridges to pull himself up. The Organization member grumbled curses to himself.

"Sora," Drakena whispered, "you know what to do."

"With pleasure," said Sora with a grin. "Thundaga!" He raised his Key and a bolt of lightning struck at the mountain.

"Oh shit," groaned Axel. "That's not good, I'm wearing too much metal!"

"Stop whining," said Simba and Goofy.

Sora cast another bolt of lightning, this time it struck Axel through the cone on top of his head. The Nobody yelped in pain, then he began to roll down the mountain side, smashing into every obstacle.

"Ahh!" screamed Axel. There was a loud clang. "I HATE," a bang, "THIS," a crunch, "DAMN," a smash, "PARODY!" Axel's fall ended with a crash, he groaned and twitched in his battered costume.

"Gawrsh," said Goofy, "that must have hurt!"

"He deserved it," muttered Simba. "He yanked my tail for the last time!"

"Axel, are you alright?"

"Remind me to kill that wicked author when this is over!" answered Axel, squirming to get up.

Sora gulped. "Drakena, Axel sounds very pissed off at you."

"He'll calm down when this is over," said Drakena with a wave of her hand. "I did tell him that you guys could hang around when the parody has ended."

"That's true."

"Come on, we have to help Axel up, or he will be very angry."

"Curse you all!" screamed Axel.

"Don't have a cow man," said Sora.

To be continued…

Endnote: Sorry I took too long to update, I've been trying to get a part time job lately. So they have difficulty climbing the mountain and Kairi is going crazy. I should mention that Sora quotes Bart Simpson at the end, my favorite line. Next chapter, the guys will be kicking Heartless butt in their search for Kairi.
