Bellatrix: Okay, before you stupid muggles have a heart attacks over Stephanie I must tell you that she did NOT die! That, and we're going to have the story follow Mr./Mrs. White hair for a moment before going back to those idiot heroes.

Arrastago: (rolls eyes) they're my friends Bellatrix. And if you keep on insulting them I'll have to give you a CHEERING charm! (grins)

Bellatrix: Fine fine fine, whatever then….

The shadowy figure looked at the form of Stephanie frozen within the ice. Its yellow eyes glowed once more and the crystal phased from its place and into a notch on the wall. In the corridor there were several other crystals much like the one Stephanie was trapped within. The figure scowled however, since there were three empty notches.

"I need the other Three Princesses of heart…"

It did an about face and started to stride down the Hallway to the balcony Stephanie had almost reached. Stepping out into the light it shielded its face from the sun for a few moments.

The sun here never set. The sky was always the same color. In the distance there were snow covered mountains. The place it stood upon was a grand fortress.

Hollow Bastion.

It let its claws rest on the railing as it looked into the distance. The steady wind licked at its hair and it became lost in thought.

Why am I like this… This is a dream isn't it? I've never had powers like this before…. Or become something so powerful….

It let a claw pass in front of its face. Examining the purple claws it seemed to let its mind wander farther.

This is only a dream. I know not to be evil in real life. This is only a dream, so what if I attacked Belle… I am Maleficent, there is nothing that can stop me…..

"Maleficent" let out a low chuckle that was lost in the wind. Looking down at the water falls below she saw a black Gummi ship that hovered above the water. Seeing this as the opportunity to find Sora and the others she was about to use her new powers and teleport down to the ship. But a voice stopped her.

"Maleficent, is there something so drastic that you want to deal with the Keybearer in person?"

Her ears twitched and she did an about face. A man in black and red robes stood at the doorway, his eyes narrowing at the sorceress. "Maleficent" let out a sigh and went back to gazing.

"Nothing's wrong Jafar. I just think it would be in my best interest to see the Keybearers power at the present time and see how it would be best to attack him."

"A fine plan indeed, but if you're heading out, I think I'll accompany you to whatever world you're going."

"Maleficent's" spikes stood on end at the thought and she looked over her shoulder.

"I don't need protection Jafar….."

"I didn't say you did," Jafar chuckled slightly however, "I just think I should head back to Agrabah myself and see if the Heartless have suceeded in capturing the Princess."

"Fine then, but after we capture her I'll be setting off on my own….."

The two allies walked down the flgiht of stairs to the gummi ship. And from afar, a shadowy figure watched with crimsom eyes.

"You're so foolish to think that this is just a dream. This is more than any dream you've had. This is reality. You'd best watch your step, or you'll sucuumb to the darkness…."

Meanwhile the gang of three were up to their heads in trouble. While all three knew how to drive a car a spaceship was a new thing. And it was a miracle by the end of the journey that they hadn't made a freak crash at all. But Kyle was still throwing a fit with the steering wheel.

"Kyle! Will you let up already!" Alex griped as they began their decent into the first world.

"Well I'm trying!" Kyle said through gritted teeth, "But I can't drive standard!"

"Kyle you idiot!" cried Tommy, "It's a flippin' automatic!"

The ship slowed down and put out it's landing gear. Within a few moments the ship had came to a halt and the three hopped out.

They found themselves in a desert. The sands stretched on for miles and miles. Above the sun cooked the ground cruelly and the three soon realised how hot the place was.

"How're we going to find anybody in this dump?"

Kyle turned around to further himself from Tommy's complaints, but was soon surprised by what he saw.

"There's your answer Tommy!"

The others turned and met the same sight of Kyle's. It was a huge city made of stone and clay. The place seemed like it had been there for centuries. But the place still seemed bustling. The thing that caught their attention mostly though was the huge golden palace at the back of the huge city. Upon seeing it all three knew where they were.

"Guys.. we're in Agrabah!" Kyle stammed as they walked twoards the city in an awe.

"Agrabah? As in Aladdin? As in-"

Alex was cut off however as an explosion rang out from the city. They saw a building fall over and the shouts of scared people. Soon they could hear the rumblings of footsteps and another building was knocked over. Tommy ran ahead of them toting his keyblade.

"Guys! Something's attacking the city! Stop layin' on your ass and lets get going!"

Alex and Kyle weren't happy with the rather rude order, but followed the brave teenager just the same. When they got past the city walls they found themselves in total pandemonium. People were running everywhere and the thunderclap of yet another crashing building sounded in the distance. Tommy pointed in the direction of the sounds.

"Guys! The thing's over there!" And he once again broke off into a run.

"Wha-? You mean go TWOARDS the thing that's knocking over buildings!" Kyle gulped. Alex didn't take his plea into consideration though as she grabbed his arm and dragged him alongside her.

As they fought through the crowd the could see that they were reaching a clearing up ahead. When they got to it all three became stunned once more.

A giant centipede-like monster was trashing at the walls and trying to topple the buidings. It's body seemed to be entirely made out of clay pots and despite supposedly having a frail body continued to ram the building with a terrible force. A man in arabic clothing was trying to fend off the monster with a giant sword. But his attacks seemed to cause the monster only to quicken it's destruction. Kyle, not realising his bravery took a few steps out.

"We've got to help him!" He said as he ducked behind his shield, "Charge it!"

Tommy and Kyle led the charge as Alex started to load her gun. Kyle used his shield as a battering ram and sent the tail end of the Centipede crashing into a nearby building; imobilizing it for the time being. Tommy joined in with the man's attack and together they took care of the task of smashing the pots making up the monsters body.

The centipede saw this however and remade it's body from nearby pots. It loomed over the three and lunged at them. Tommy and the man held their weapons out to parry the jaws of the beast. It clamped down on the keyblade and tried to wrestle it from Tommy. Kyle got up from his attack and saw that Tommy was in a fix. He unhooked his shield and threw it like a frisbe. The weapon hit the monster hard on the head and it stumbled back.

Meanwhile Alex had finally loaded her gun. Taking careful aim she pulled the trigger.

"Take THIS!"

What she didn't count on was the weapon being an automatic. She had to wrestle with the gun as he flew through it's clip. But she had sucseeded. The hail of bullets was so intense that the monster's clay skin gave way and crumbled to pieces. After the dust settled all that was left was a few shards of clay and sticks. Tommy kicked at one of the shards and scowled.

"That thing was only made of clay?"

"Would you rather have it real?" Alex scoffed as she sheathed her gun. Looking to the man who had fought alongside them Alex could see that he was breathing heavily and worn out from the battle. But there was a look of grattitude on his face.

"Thankyou for helping me there… " He said through breaths, "That monster was set on the kingdom. I tried to stop it.. but.." He looked sadly to the toppled buildings, "I failed…"

At that moment a terrible laugh rang through the air. As all four of them searched for the voice they realised it seemed to be coming from everywhere.

"Oh no…"

Kyle looked to the man. "What happened?"

"Jafar! He's taken Jasmine!" The man said with a tone of anger in his voice.

It was then that the three reckonised the man. With his white pants and purple vest they were wondering why they hadn't identified him before. He was Aladdin!

"But where's he taken her then Aladdin?" Alex asked as she walked to his side.

"Before he set that monster loose he said something about a keyhole within the cave of wonders…. Maybe he took Jasmine there!" Aladdin took a few steps forward before stopping himself and turning back. "How do you know my name?"

"We can explain that later." Tommy ushered as he ran ahead of the confused youth. But Tommy was cut short as Aladdin shouted at him to stop.

"Why!" he shouted back. I thought you wanted to save her!"

"I do! It's just that…" Aladdin whistled to the sky and in a few seconds a magic carpet flew down to greet them. "It'll be faster if we use carpet to chase them down!"

The four hopped onto the carpet and made room for eachother. As the magical artifact began to take off Alex looked to Aladdin.

"Where are the heading to?"

"To the cave of wonders no doubt!"
