Mistress 9: so now we're going into a world no one has ever been too

Bellatrix: At least they think so anyway (rolls eyes) you think that all the water would clue them in

The four swam through the depths of the ocean for what seemed like hours. Not a single Heartless attacked, and the other three had long ago told Kyle to quit it with his singing. As they made their way through the deep blue, Tommy was becoming more anxious as time moved on.

All of a sudden he began to spaz out. He clutched his throat and trashed his tail wilding in all directions. Kyle and Josh quickly came to his aid and held him tightly in their hands (Or in Kyle's case fins)

"Tommy!" Josh yelled in his face, "Snap out of it!"

Immediately Tommy stopped his thrashing, but instead of looking grateful he got a smile that reached both his ears.

"Psyche!"

And then the silence was immediately broken by Alex once again shooting the Keybearer. (In the tail mind you) She swam up to him, green tail and all and began yelling at him in a rage that only women have.

"Tommy! Don't ever pull a stunt like that again! In this place we don't know what will happen!"

"Stop shooting me first off!"

"I'll only NOT shoot you if you're missing your head and your groin!" Axel spat back.

"Holy shit!" Tommy caught something in the corner of his eye and turned around, "It's huge!"

"For Walt's sake Tommy," Kyle put a fin to his face, "Can we mention the word "groin" without having you elaborate on how huge yours is!"

"Kyle!" Tommy snapped around and scowled at the turtle, "Get your mind outta the gutter, I'm talking about that ship over there!"

It was amazing that the four hadn't spotted it before the incident, but there it was plain as day. It must have gone down many years ago. The mast was thick with algae and sea rot and it looked like the hull would give way and the whole thing would collapse in a heap of wet wood.

But then again, the more dangerous, the more exciting.

They swam towards the ship and peered around for any means of entering it. Tommy managed to find a porthole but soon realized Josh; with his giant "wings" couldn't squeeze himself in.

"Well now what are we going to do?" Josh grumbled at the thought of being left outside while his friends explored.

"Not a problem!" Kyle rushed at the porthole with his shield and smashed the glass and the surrounding wood into the boat. They peered into the newly made hole and without a word swam in.

None of them noticed the dark figure that swam lazily by; waiting for them to exit and make them its meal.

Darkness. That was the word to describe it. Kat found herself going from the sky blue of the surrounding ocean to inky blackness.

"Cool!" she said out loud as she continued her decent, "if this place wasn't under water this'd be a place where Maleficent or Shego would hang out."

The last glimmer of light was lost to the depths and the sorceress in training stopped abruptly.

"Great, can't see a thing," she sighed and thought it best to plan while her eyes became used to the lack of vision, "Er… Okay, lets see, whoever's here, all I need to tell them is that I've captured Tom-uh, Sora, and when the enemy lets their guard down we'll pounce!" Kat shot forward in her excitement and she crashed head first into a wall.

"AWW SHIT," she clutched her head and growled; her horns taking the full force of the blow and giving her a migraine. As she rubbed her head she didn't notice that she continued to sink into the depths. After she rubbed away most of the pain she caught a glimmer of a faint light down below.

"Light," she said dryly before smiling, "Conscience am I dead?"

Seeing as swimming towards the glow was better than risking her head again Kat swam on. Soon she found herself amidst billowing geysers and fumaroles; each emitting the same pinkish glow.

"I know this place…"

Before she could come to a conclusion a geyser erupted in front of her and she was sent reeling back into yet another blasting geyser. The sudden shock of heat sent her shooting off as fast as she could. She didn't care that she bumped into rocks or that she entered what looked like the remains of a giant sea monster; as long as she could keep her tails from being burnt off she'd be fine.

That's when she finally realized where she was.

"Oh great…"

"Maleficent," a voice called from above, " I've been expecting you…"

"Gah," Kat's mouth dropped like a cash register but quickly regained her composure and gave a rigid nod," I was planning on meeting with you Ursula."

"The others were afraid that you had been captured after being shot down," the mer-demon eyed the teenager, "is there an explanation for this?"

"Well," Kat coughed and tried to keep her posture straight, "Y'see, after Sora shot me down, the bunch of them and I fought in Traverse Town. Little jerk stuck it to me and I had to flee though." She knew she was screwing up but kept going nonetheless, "I managed to board my ship and they chased me here, and since they've lost track of me I thought, well, y'know, since you're here the two of us could join forces and take'em out!"

"Well that does sound like a good plan," Ursula glided across the room to her, "But you'll need to find the Keybearer and his cute little friends first."

"'m on it" Kat bowed and disappeared in a green haze.

The sea witch's face went from serious to devious visage.

""'m on it" huh?" she laughed slightly, "Interesting…"

The others had been investigating the sunken ship right as Kat had been conversing with the enemy. Josh held a hand up to the others.

"Guys, there's something in this room…"

"Eh?"

"Voices!" he said in hushed urgency.

The four gathered around and strained to hear what the stingray heard. Sure enough in the silence they heard two barely audible voices nearby.

"What are they saying?"

"Can't tell," Kyle steered himself around a pointed to a creaky door, "think it's coming from behind there?"

"Hold up!" Tommy nudged the Kyle turtle and pointed to an equally old treasure chest nearby," Lets open that first!"

The Keybearer swam up and tapped the chest with the Keyblade. The chest coughed up bubbles as it opened and the Keyblade glowed with a mystical light.

"What happened?" Alex folded her arms at the dubious display.

"I got.. a, uh, er, a Reflect magic thing!" Tommy waved the Keyblade around, "what the Hell does that do?"

"I dunno," Josh gave a shrug, "that magic wasn't in the first game."

"Well, along with Water, it is now," Kyle grew cross, "Lets see what's behind the door now shall we?"

"One step ahead of you!" Tommy flung his Keyblade before him and shot off at the door with weapon ready to knock it down.

Too bad he didn't count on someone opening the door from the inside. The three others and a certain redhead all winced as Tommy kept on flying and eventually hit the wall with a loud thud before knocking down several rotted odds and ends. The other three gingerly swam into the room to check on their bruised friend. As Josh and Alex hoisted Tommy up Kyle saw someone gliding out to meet them from behind the door, and by the looks of it, it was Ariel form The Little Mermaid!
