We're Back Folks!
And before anyone asked. Yes the next world is Agrabah. But before we go there. I believe this story has had the absence of the most important people in Aiden's life. And the the one person that made Aiden who he is today. So in this chapter we will start with the team heading towards their next destination. And for those who've read my last few stories knows what world that his.
"Where's my red ruby slippers?" Maverick quipped.
Where's my Playstation 5?
"Good point." Maverick shrugged.
"You'll get one soon. I know you will. Don't give up hope." Sora encouraged the author.
Thanks Sora. You always know just what to say.
Also because I've taken in the concept of the team needing to dress up and blend in whenever they enter into a new World. The Guardians will be getting new outfits to help them blend in Agrabah once they're there. And before anyone finds the style I go with unethical. I'm being accurate to the style that was presented in the Aladdin movie.
I'm sure you will all like what I go with.
"The girls may not like it though." Maverick gestures Kairi and Victoria.
KingdomWarrior125: Thanks and I agree. I'm going with Agrabah as my next move after they meet the family.
RustyPete12: Thanks. And yeah he asked for it. After all the people Barbossa killed, he deserved it. And yeah I know what happens to him in the sequel 'At World's End'. But I have to be honest though. I don't know if I'm going to return to Jack Sparrow's world in my next KHII based story.
Mostly because I'm not a fan of the Pirates Of The Caribbean sequels. I only liked the first one but the second I thought was okay. The third one lost me (Even though I enjoyed the gameplay in the KHIII version). I thought the fourth one sucked and I didn't bother watching the fifth one.
But if you and my readers want me to go back anyway because it's in the game. Then I'll consider trying anyway. For now I make no promises because what I added in the last chapter is concluded for me. I may just send the team to a different world when the time comes, but who knows.
Haxorus knight: My thought's exactly. Thank you!
olehbilenko93: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope the conclusion satisfied you. And because I blew up the island with the cursed treasure, I won't be doing a forced second visit. I hope that's fine since I gave the Pirate world the longest visit then any world have been to. So let me know if it was everything you hoped for. Okay?
SPYRO 101: Thank you! And as a matter of fact. I went with your idea. But you already knew that. LOL. Thank you for helping me with this chapter.
Alrighty folks. Now that were all here.
LET IT GO!
"No stealing my Mom's sacred words!" Maverick bellowed at the author.
Sorry...
LET'S GET DANGEROUS!
Meet The Frozen Family.
Back on the Highwind…...
Aiden was flying the ship on a route that's extremely familiar to him, Victoria and Groot. But it wasn't to Sora and Kairi. Those two were confused because they were not taking the path Sora had just opened. Donald and Goofy knew why, not only seeing the condition of their ship after dealing with so many Heartless space battles. This ship needed to be prepared.
That and this is Aiden's route home.
"Uh…. Aiden? The path is that way." Kairi pointed left with her finger.
"I'm very aware, Rosebud. I have a built-in GPS deep in my mystical testosterone." Aiden quipped while he flew the ship. "Unfortunately we can't go down that path right now. We're dealing with a battle level 22 threat and our ship's condition is way under the number."
"How much?" Sora asked, wondering how under updated was their ship currently.
"Like 10 levels down. Which is why this ship needs an upgrade." Aiden stated.
"Gee then why not go back to Disney Castle and have Chip and Dale take care of the ship? They can upgrade it pretty good." Goofy pointed.
"I'm way ahead of you Goof. They're not at Disney Castle at the moment. With everyone doing clean up in Disney Town I allowed them to rent some space to work down in my lair." Aiden answered Goofy.
"We're going to your secret lair?!" Sora asked in excitement.
"You have a secret lair?" Kairi asked in surprise.
"Yep. And when it comes time to update, cooling heels and licking wounds. Well…. Be it ever so humble." Aiden smiled as he saw his world coming into view. "There's no place like home."
Arendelle.
Morning in Arendelle…..
As the morning sun shines over the fjord. It shines over a stronger Arendelle than ever before. Even though the era. People and style are the same as before Aiden first met the royal family. What makes it better is the family. The same family that makes Arendelle stronger. And the family that is the source of Aiden's strength and inspiration. And the reason why he is who he is.
And at the center was his adopted mother. Queen Elsa. And his father J'son of Spartax. Who is now called around these parts, King J'son.
On the balcony of the king and queen's bedroom. Queen Elsa, who was wearing her turquoise ice dress, was standing on the balcony of the castle. Holding and cradling a sweet baby in her arms. It had been three months since Elsa gave birth to this sweet, beautiful little baby girl of hers and J'son. Princess Amelia. Or Mia for short. Named after Aiden's diseased birth Mother Amelia. J'son and his son chose it for the baby. And Elsa gladly accepted it the moment this bundle of joy in her arms was born.
"Good morning my Little Snowflake." Elsa smiled warmly at the baby in her arms. As she rocked her in a blue ice blanket Mia was wrapped in.
"Aaye…." Mia was cooing softly at her Mama. Waving her little hand at the sun.
"That's right Sweetie, the sky is awake." Elsa softly mused as she looked out at the sky and her kingdom.
She had come a long way from being the girl that locked herself in her bedroom. But now. She's not only the Queen of a kingdom in prosperity instead of a kingdom of isolation. She has a perfect family. With her wonderful sister Anna. Her brother in law Kristoff and their two children. Adina who is now five years old, and their six month old baby boy Erik. Anna was practically already pregnant with her son during the wedding. But being pregnant didn't stop her hyperactive energy. And it runs through her children. And thankfully Aiden didn't have to use another Foreteller ritual to heal these babies. Because both Mia and Erik were born successfully with no health issues or defects at all.
Speaking of Aiden….
(We Built This City - Starship)
We built this city
we built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
we built this city on rock and roll
Elsa could hear music echoing from the clouds. Along with the sound of jet and rocket like engines. The queen smiled brightly knowing who that is. Everyone in the kingdom who was either working, shopping or going about their day. And the children playing in the streets looked up and smiled up at the sky knowing it was their prince and hero.
Suddenly the Highwind gummi ship came into view as it flew toward the castle while soaring past the clouds.
Say you don't know me or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night
Then the ship hovered over the palace courtyard and faced the balcony where Elsa was standing and holding her baby. Elsa couldn't see past the tinted windows of the Highwind. But she knew who was driving.
"Queenie! You've got some splainin to do!" Aiden quipped from the ship's speaker which made Elsa laugh and wave at the ship.
"Ahhheiiidi!" Mia squealed joyfully hearing her big brother's voice from the gummi ship. As if she was trying to say Aiden's name.
"Also get the stove running. We've brought guests." Aiden said normally. "And by guests I mean legal support. And by legal support I mean unpaid interns, and by unpaid interns I mean New recruits."
"I am Groot?" Baby Groot asked. Translate: 'Well which is it?'
"All four." Aiden answered humorously. "I brought some new recruits. And…... I'm about to dump them in the front yard."
"What?!" Donald exclaimed in the speaker.
"They're all yours Mack!" Aiden quipped, sounding like a garbage man.
Then the ship tilted the ship upside down and causes Donald and Goofy to fall out.
"WAAAAAAAAACK!" Donald screamed in terror.
"YAAAAAHHOOOHOOOHOOOWWWEEEEEEE!" Goofy screamed as he fell as well.
Marconi plays the mamba
Listen to the radio
Don't you remember
We built this city
we built this city on rock and roll
But then, as the song abruptly stops. Donald and Goofy both fell into a pile of snow. Aiden already had that below them. It's not like he was going to hurt his new teammates. But he likes to mess with them.
Goofy sat up in the pile relieved that he and Donald didn't splat.
"Ayuck! Wasn't that fun Donald?" Goofy laughed.
Donald stood up and shook the snow off before glaring. "NO IT WASN'T!"
Then Sora and Kairi landed on their feet with ease thanks to their freeflow abilities.
"Oh lighten up Donald. Aiden was just messing around." Sora grinned.
"Woah… Look at this place, Sora." Kairi looked around at the castle of Arendelle.
Sora and Kairi looked around at the ice blue that covered the roof of the castle and the perfect blend of the crocus emblem of the Arendellian banners draped across the castle walls. And the blend of Neon changing lights around the rails and pillars of the castle.
As Kairi was beaming at the beauty around them, Sora because he became distracted by Kairi's radiant face. Kairi notices Sora staring and asks again
"Sora? Did you hear me?"
Sora shakes his head and blushes trying to focus himself.
"Uh... Yeah. I heard you. Yeah, this place is really beautiful." He stuttered out while looking away with his face so flush.
This causes Kairi to blush and look away with a small giggle. Then Aiden came from behind Sora along with Victoria and Baby Groot. Aiden came over and lightly smacked the back of Sora's head to bring his focus back completely.
"Hey!" Sora stumbled a bit.
"Put your eyeballs back in your head Spike. Here comes our mascot and village sweetheart." Aiden quipped as he smiled seeing Olaf running towards the team with his tiny legs.
"AIDEN! VICTORIA! GROOT! YOU'RE BACK!" Olaf exclaimed as he ran over to give both of them a big warm hug.
"Hey Olaf." Victoria smiled and hugged back.
"I am Groot!" Baby Groot hugged him back like a baby brother.
"How have you been, Carrot Top?" Aiden smiled while hugging him back.
"Everything has been going swell. I just finished reading Volume 3 of your comic book collection. All three pages each. And I loved the ending of the Killing Joke. Nobody got hurt or captured." Olaf gushed.
He obviously didn't read further in any of those books. Aiden figured he shouldn't have taught him how to read.
Sora and Kairi were looking at the talking Snowman in wonderment.
"Kairi? You're seeing this too right?" Sora asks with a shocked expression.
"If you mean the talking snowman, then I think so." Kairi says while slightly nodding her head.
Olaf turns and sees the destiny duo and walks up to them.
"Oh Hello there, you must be Aiden's new employees. That's what he calls his friends. I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!" he said while holding his arms out.
"Ohhh! You're so cute!" Kairi beamed as she crouched down to hug Olaf. "Nice to meet you Olaf. My name is Kairi."
"And I'm Sora." Sora greeted the snowman. "And this is-"
"Hi there Olaf!" Goofy greeted the snowman with a wave.
"Hi Olaf!" Donald waved as well.
Olaf gasped seeing them. "Donald! Goofy! Welcome back! It's been a while! How was your year long comatic business trip?!" He greeted them with hugs.
"Comatic business trip? As in a coma?" Donald scowled at Aiden knowing he came up with that word.
"I had to spin it a little bit, you're the one that preaches world order." Aiden shrugged looking humorously guilty.
"Wait you both know Olaf?" Kairi asked Donald and Goofy.
"Yep." Goofy nodded. "Me, Donald and King Mickey were with Aiden's family back when he and Victoria first met."
"And when Queen Elsa first met J'son." Donald added.
"Speaking of which." Aiden turned to see Anna and Kristoff come out of the castle. With Princess Anna holding her baby and Little Adina standing next to her.
And Sven the reindeer was with them as well.
"Go get him Sven!" Kristoff called out his reindeer.
And Sven came running over like a happy pet dinosaur. Panting joyfully towards Aiden. Aiden's eyes widened in horror as he shook his head and hands to quickly shout.
"No. No. No. No! No! No! Don't 'go get him' OOF!" Aiden was knocked down by reindeer. And Sven started licking his face while he was on the ground. "Down boy! Down! Red rocket red rocket!"
Red rocket is a safe word.
Sven backs up after a few seconds while Kristoff offers his hand to help Aiden up.
"If this is all it takes to bring you down, we are in big trouble." Kristoff said with a smirk on his face as he helps Aiden up onto his feet. And hugged his Nephew. "How have you been, Aid?"
"Pretty Well Mountain Dew." Aiden hugged him back. "And you of all people know that there's only four weaknesses for me. Magic crystals. The bliss of Idina Menzel. Babies and pets."
Kristoff snickered and rolled his eyes. "Yeah. Sure. And how are you Tori? Groot?" Kristoff gave Victoria and Baby Groot a hug as well.
"I am Groot!" Baby Groot hugged while saying he's doing fine.
"It's all good." Victoria smiled hugging him back.
While Aiden was wiping Sven's drool off his face with a disinfectant wipe. He smacked his lips as he noticed he got a little reindeer spit in his mouth.
"Ugh! God what have you been feeding him?!" Aiden sputtered in disgust.
"Nothing. Just some carrots and Reindeer feed." Kristoff shrugged.
"What's in the feed?" Aiden inquired.
"Ruffage?" Kristoff said with a quirk of an eyebrow.
Aiden looks at him with a deadpan look.
"On second thought, I don't want to know. It'll be better for my sanity."
"What sanity?" Sora adds in.
"Fair point... God it tastes like triple anus." Aiden gagged as he wiped his own tongue with a disinfectant wipe.
"How's it going Bucky?" Victoria smirked as she scratched behind Sven's ear making him smile and wag his tail. Baby Groot was doing the same to the reindeer on top of Victoria's shoulder.
"Hey there fellas. Long time no see." Kristoff. smiled at Donald and Goofy who waved back at him.
Just before Kristoff could ask who were the new kids next to them and the gummi ship, Anna came over with their two children. Adina ran, more like she toddled over to hug Victoria first.
"Tori!" Adina chimed as she reached to be picked up by Aiden's girlfriend.
"Hey there Munchkin!" Victoria giggled and hugged the little girl who hugged back. Even Baby Groot hugged the little girl.
'Traitor.' Aiden playfully thought, on the fact that Adina didn't hug him first. But Victoria has gotten close to all of the youngest of the family. She was like a third mother to them.
Anna quickly passes Erik over to Kristoff's arms so she could hug her nephew.
"AIDEN!" Anna squeals and takes him into a bone-crushing hug and spins around in a circle.
"Good to... See you... Too... Can't... Breath..." Aiden gasps out as he begins to turn blue. "I'm stepping into… the light...Walt is that you?"
"Oh. Hehe sorry." Anna sheepishly released him and smiled adoringly at him. "How's my favorite nephew?"
"I'm doing well Aunt Red. And you know I don't have any other competition for the nephew bit." Aiden said amusingly.
Anna giggled. "I know. That's why you're my favorite."
"I am Groot?" Baby pouted as he hopped on Aiden's shoulder. Translate: 'What about me?'
"Owe I could never forget about you too Sweetie! How are you Groot?" Anna picked up the little tree and gave him a warm hug.
"I am Groot!" Baby Groot smiled and hugged back saying he's her other favorite.
"You're her favorite twig." Aiden said humorously. "No wait, her favorite Toothpick."
*SMACK!*
Victoria smacks him on the back of the head.
"Aiden? Be nice" she says with a warning tone.
"Yes babe. Ow my cranial." Aiden winched before going over to greet his younger cousin Erik who was still in Kristoff's arms. "And how's Red dye number two?"
He called him that because Erik has Anna's strawberry blond hair while Adina has Kristoff's blond hair.
"Aiiiiyyyde!" Erik squealed with a big smile seeing. As if he was trying to say Aiden's name.
"Hehe and how are you doing Tori?" Anna asked while she gave Victoria a hug.
"I'm doing very good. " she says with a smile.
"I'm glad to hear that. Has he been treating you well?" Anna asks Victoria.
Victoria smirks and stated. "He's still alive isn't he?"
"Ha ha. I can stand the heat. You can't stand the cold." Aiden quipped back and gave Erik a tiny fist bump. Helping him make a small fist. "Am I right?"
"Pfffff!" Erik blew raspberries at him in response before he giggled in his chimney baby voice.
"Sorry Babe. This little fan is on my side." Victoria gloated before she went over and tapped Erik's baby nose. "Isn't that right Sweetie?"
"Hehehe!" Erik giggled from the nose tap. While Aiden looked unamused.
Then Aiden felt a small hand tug at his pants. He looked down to see a pretty bright smile looking up at him.
"Hi Aidie!" Adina beamed, reaching for him.
"Hey Skittles! How's my favorite bag of pure cane sugar?" Aiden joked as he picked Adina up and hugged her.
She giggled. "I'm doing great! Did you bring me any candy?" Adina asked with her puppy dog eyes.
"Nope. But he did." Aiden pointed behind Adina.
The little girl turned around and gasped for joy seeing something made of gum and wrapped in a blue and red package while floating on a neon disk near the ground. Aiden puts Adina down so she could go and pick it up.
"Eeek! You bought me a giant gummi snake! I love it!" Adina squealed as she picked it up and held it. Then she looked up at Anna. "Can I have it after dinner Mama?!"
"mmn... Maybe." Anna said teasingly.
Adina gave her Mom some big wide puppy dog eyes that she couldn't resist.
"Uh oh... You woke up the heavy artillery." Victoria muttered with a grin.
"Okay okay! You can have it after dinner." Anna gave in to how cute her daughter was. But added firmly. "Just make sure to eat all your veggies and not the whole snake in one day. Okay Sweetie?"
The little girl nodded obediently with a slight giggle. Kairi couldn't help but smile at how cute Adina was. Including Erik.
"Hehe. Thank you Mommy." Adina smiled brightly while hugging the gummy snake in her arms. Then she looked over at Donald and Goofy.
She smiled and waved. "Hi Donald! Ho Goofy!"
"Awe she remembers us." Donald smiled and waved back at the little girl.
"Hey there sweet pea!" Goofy waved back.
Anna had just noticed those two and her eyes widened. "Hey there guys! It's been ages since we've last seen you!" She went over and hugged thank both.
"Awe it hasn't been that long. Just a year. Ayuck!" Goofy hugged her back along with Donald.
"Well for me that's eternity." Anna chirped before she noticed Sora and Kairi who were standing there smiling the whole time while Aiden was greeting the family.
"Alright now boys... And chicks. Here comes the heads of state. AKA Mom and Dad." Aiden stated to Sora and the others, when he saw J'son and Elsa coming over to them, while J'son was holding Mia in his arms.
Elsa comes over to Aiden with the warmest smile she could muster and hugs her son. And Aiden hugged back. Aiden had gotten so big due to his age that he is on the same height as Elsa's height now. But that still won't stop her from using her trademark pet name for him.
"Hello my little Spark." The Queen said and kissed his forehead.
"Hey Mom." Aiden smiled back. Their bond is still as strong as ever.
Baby Groot hopped on Aiden's shoulder and hugged Elsa as well. "I am Groot."
"Hehe. Nice to see you too Groot." Elsa chuckled and stroked Groot's chin.
"How's the field trip been so far kiddo?" J'son came over and hugged him with one arm while still holding the baby in his other arm.
"Pretty good Dad." Aiden hugged his father back. "So far I haven't collected a single scar."
"That you've kept." Victoria teased while she and Elsa hugged.
"Hush." Aiden deadpanned at Victoria. Then he smiled at his baby sister.
"Aaah…" Mia gave him a smile with her mouth wide open.
"Hey there little cool breeze. How are you doing? Have you froze Mommy's hair yet? Yeah?" Aiden humorously greeted his baby sister with a silly voice making Mia chime and coed happily. Even Baby Groot tickled her tiny feet under the blanket which made Mia giggle at both of them.
"You do know she hasn't obtained any of our ice powers right?" Elsa raised an eyebrow at her son with a grin.
"Yet." Aiden mused.
"Anyway... Have you three had any trouble during your adventure?" Elsa asked out of concern.
"Nothing we couldn't handle." Victoria shrugged while she shared a hug with J'son and then greeted Mia who looked just as happy to see the girl.
"If it weren't for these misfits." Aiden gestured over to the newest members of the guardians.
Sora and Kairi came up with Donald and Goofy
"Uh... Hi there." Sora awkwardly greeted them.
"Mom? Dad? Meet our new staff. The main dude in the middle is Sora. AKA Spike. Also known as the only Goku parody who's not on a Seven-Eleven trading card." Aiden quipped as he introduced the team.
"Hey!" Sora shot back.
"Sora is also the one that closed the door to darkness." Victoria added. "Which Aiden almost forgot to mention."
"No, I was building up to that part. Honest." Aiden said in defense.
"Yeah right." Victoria muttered.
Then Aiden introduces Kairi. "And this is mini-Goku's best friend Kairi.*COUGH* girlfriend." He fake coughed that last part.
"I heard that!" Sora called out.
"He's kind of on a 'always taps out' vibe. Even though he can't live without her." Aiden whispered back which made Elsa cover her mouth as she was trying not to chuckle.
"I know you're talking about me Aiden." Sora deadpanned.
"Of course Kairi knows but plays along anyway." Aiden whispered some more.
"I'm picking up every sound." Sora deadpanned.
"That and she feels the same way." Aiden whispered.
"Every. Word. Is. Not. Hidden from my ears!" Sora groaned.
"But she's waiting for Sora to say it first because that's the job for the guy's big step in first base instead of playing stupid." Aiden quipped without whispering looking back at Sora.
Even Anna was giggling and smirking the whole time.
"Now I know you're talking about me." Sora muttered.
"And you already know Ducky Moe and Doggy Curly over there. Go easy on them, they just woke up." Aiden gestured over to Donald and Goofy.
"We weren't asleep that long! Just... A year." Donald winced realizing the error of his defense.
"Ayuck! Hi there You're Majesty." Goofy greeted Elsa.
"Hehe. Hello Goofy, Donald. It's good to see you two again. And I told you, call me Elsa." Elsa smiled and then she turned to Sora and Kairi. "And it's a pleasure to finally meet the both of you. Sora, the newest keyblade wielder, and Kairi, the seventh Princess of Heart."
"Oh? You've heard about that?" Kairi asked as she was a little surprised that Elsa knew about her being a Princess of Heart.
"I keep no secrets from the fam." Aiden stated. And then he looks at Elsa. "Speaking of which. I hope We haven't missed breakfast. Because we have a lot to talk about."
Aiden was at first hesitant about giving all the details. Including everything about Dianex. But his family had a right to know. Especially Elsa and J'son.
Later in the dining room...
The whole family sat with Aiden and his team while they all had a nice big breakfast of bacon and eggs and pancakes. While they were eating. Sora and Kairi started off by telling Aiden's family about how his journey started and he was reaching closer to the conclusion.
"So what happened after you defeated Ansem?" Anna asked Sora as she was intrigued with his story.
"Well After we defeated him, I helped Riku and King Mickey seal the Door to Darkness. The worlds were restored. And Kairi….. Well" Sora says gesturing towards her. "She returned to the islands. And Donald, Goofy, and I went off to find Riku and the King. And... That's all that I can remember before we woke up in those pods."
Anna looks confused. "Why did you let Kairi return to the islands? I would have thought you would have taken the first chance to be with her." Anna said, causing Kairi to blush.
Sora, not understanding the implication of her words, started speaking from the heart.
"Believe me, I would have loved nothing more than to bring her along with me. But I knew what I was walking towards would be dangerous. And I was afraid I could end up losing her again. And I just couldn't go through that again. My heart's not strong enough." he said holding his hand over his heart.
"Sora..." Kairi whispered with her hand over mouth.
Just then a famous heartbreaking romance song played from the room's built-in speakers.
(My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion)
Near
Far
wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Sora and Kairi gave an annoyed look at Aiden who held his hands up in defense. "It wasn't me." He said.
Then they looked down to see Baby Groot on the table waving a fake torch in his hand while standing next to Aiden's radio remote. He started the song in the dining room's built in music player.
"I am Groot." Baby Groot smirked at them which made the family laugh at the little tree's cute tease.
Sora and Kairi couldn't help but laugh too. They couldn't get mad at someone as cute as Baby Groot.
Once stopped laughing at Baby Groot's cute tease. Elsa was putting two and two together as it wasn't hard to figure out that the two kids from the Destiny Islands are in love. But she understood why Sora didn't bring her along. It somehow was similar to why the Queen shut her sister out when they were kids.
"So you kept her out so she wouldn't go through your endless struggle." Elsa figured. Just like her.
"Yeah." Sora solemnly nodded.
Elsa knows what that's like.
"Even though he was gone for over a year. A part of me knew he was coming back. So I took some Taekwondo and karate classes to get myself ready and in shape." Kairi stated. "I figured Sora's journey wasn't going to be the last."
"Oh yeah. Rosebud has become quite the black belt ass-kicker. And she got the rest of her magic and combat training from my feisty atomic lady over here. She gave her training courses the moment Kairi joined." Aiden said with a smirk on his face.
"Technically she beat me twice in combat training but I digress." Victoria smirked as well, making Kairi shyly smile.
"So... Wait? How did you both meet up again?" Kristoff asked curiously.
"Yeah how did it happen? Did you wish for a portal to Sora and it came? Were you kidnapped?" Anna asked repetitively in excitement and she gasped. "Did Aiden find out and took you to him?!"
"Breathe Aunt Red. No spoilers. We haven't gotten most of the important filler out." Aiden eased his aunt. Much like how Elsa has to calm her down. Only with a dash of humor.
"Well...Maybe we should start back with what happened after the worlds were restored." Goofy figured.
"Right. Where did you three end up after that?" J'son asked.
"Well like I said, Me, Donald and Goofy don't remember what happened after we left to search for our friends. But at some point, we woke up a year later in these strange pods that were in this laboratory, under an abandoned Mansion at a place called Twilight Town." Sora explained to the Arendelle family.
"Ah. Aiden's favorite modern city." Elsa remarked.
"You've been there?" Sora asked Aiden.
"Oh yeah. I use the portal down stairs to go there all the time. You wouldn't believe what Christmas shopping is like. Just make sure you bring a weapon before you do." Aiden grinned.
Victoria cleared her throat while giving Aiden a look. "Achem! Getting back to the backstory." She insisted.
"Well… Then we met up with a couple of nice kids and even ran into the king. But then he disappeared after we fought with some new enemies. After that we ended up boardin a train that led us straight to Yen Sid's tower." Goofy continued telling their backstory.
"And then we went inside and that's when we met Aiden, Victoria and Groot." Donald added.
"Wow. Where can I find big shoes like those? Oh wait I don't wear shoes." Olaf said looking at Sora shoes. But they didn't correct him as they were busy with their discussion.
"So after we exchanged some 'how you dos' and phone numbers. That's when Yen Sid told us about the Nobodies." Aiden stated.
"The what?" Kristoff inquired.
"The new antagonists we've been fighting. We'll get to those details in a second." Victoria answered.
"So after that, how did Kairi meet up with you guys?" Anna asked.
"Well while we were dealing with an Ancient Chinese based world, taking down the Huns and helping a woman into the army." Aiden skipped the extra details.
"Huh?" Elsa looked confused.
"It's a long story, and it would make a really good movie. Anyway, I detected Kairi was in danger, thanks to a protocol tracker I installed in IRIS's mainframe after we met the Princesses of Heart a year back. I used IRIS to keep tabs on the princesses without them knowing, including Kairi. So I detected she was in danger when some fancy talking lowlife tried to take her on the beach. So I beamed over there, scared the guy off and brought her onto the ship and told her to stay on board until we brought Spike back."
'Well technically Aiden didn't scare him off. It was more like a hasty retreat.' Kairi thought to herself. But didn't say it out loud because she was grateful to Aiden for rescuing her from that jerk Axel.
"And as you can tell. It surprised the living hell of Sora when he saw her." Victoria remarked.
"He looked more than surprised actually." Kairi says with a slight giggle.
"Hehe. I can only imagine." Anna says with a wide smile.
"So who was the jerk that tried to kidnap you?" Elsa asked.
"He called himself Axel. He was one of the Nobodies." Kairi answered.
"And the Nobodies are?" Kristoff inquired.
"Well it's a little complicated. You see when someone becomes a Heartless after losing a heart, the body is left behind. And if the person has a strong will before losing a heart, the body will start to move and act on its own." Sora explained with a somewhat distant look for some reason.
"And before anyone asked. No, it's not like a zombie. And we don't mean a physical body made of dead flesh. We mean the empty shell of their existence. Because unlike the heartless. Nobodies don't exist. And by that I mean they're not people. But they act like people." Aiden added. "But they can't be a real person without a heart."
"Okay…. I"I think I get it." Kristoff nodded, not completely sure what they meant by that.
"So what you mean is that Heartless are hearts without a body and Nobodies are bodies without a heart. And you can't have a Nobody without becoming a Heartless." Olaf spoke optimistically and intelligently which shocked the team sitting at the table.
"Wha?" Donald muttered.
"No wait. Shouldn't the Heartless who are hearts be called Nobodies and Nobodies who are bodies be called heartless?" Olaf pondered. Then he looked on the ground and beamed. "Oooh! A spare piece of bacon!" And he picked it up and ate it.
Sora and Kairi were still looking weirdly at him. Even though Aiden thought the same thing before. He didn't turn his ability to think on or off.
"He's the true definition of freeze." Aiden whispered in Sora's ear.
"So are they smarter than the Heartless?" Elsa asked Sora.
"Well let's put it this way. Heartless are like an infestation. While the Nobodies are like politicians." Aiden explained.
"In all seriousness, the Heartless operate on instinct, while the Nobodies think their plans through. So I guess you can say Nobodies are smarter." Victoria says with a serious tone and expression.
"Okay. Now it's starting to make sense. Do they have like a hive or a pack to operate in?" J'son asked. "Maybe a Glee club?"
"Not really. The strongest of the Nobodies came together and formed an Organization." Kairi answered.
"An organization?" Anna asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Pretty much. They call themselves Organization XIII." Aiden says in a very serious voice. "And all the organization members, the Nobodies who appear more human than the others... Are all dressed in black coats."
"You mean... The same 'Black Coats' Lash mentioned?" Elsa asked.
"And the same ones that helped Deathbird get in power I bet. And the ones that gave Taskmaster the extra dark upgrade he used to try to kill me. Not to mention the ones that..." Aiden faltered from saying it.
"The ones that killed..." J'son realized almost saying it. But Aiden nodded
The same ones that were responsible for the death of Aiden's birth mother and the ones that took him away from her.
"That was all them." Aiden clarified.
There was a thick tension in the air. No one said anything. But J'son looked ready to punch something. His wife died because of these men.
"So, we finally know who was responsible for everything that has happened." J'son said with venom in his voice.
"But why? Why have they done all these terrible things?" Elsa asks with anger and despair in her voice.
Aiden bit the bottom of his lip. While everyone else including the team felt the tension. Sora and Kairi looked nervous while Victoria looked concerned.
"I don't know. We don't know... Here's the meat of it. And I mean prime grass fed facts. The reason they did all of this was to not only get rid of their biggest threats to their plans. Whatever their plans are. But they wanted to build the ultimate weapon of mass destruction as a failsafe and a plan B in case things go south for them." Aiden explained slowly.
"And that would be?" Kristoff asked carefully.
Aiden took a deep breath and displayed some holograms from his ring.
"IRIS? Pull up the recorded visuals of Dianex AKA Stormur in action." Aiden said to his computer.
'Yes Maverick.' IRIS obeyed.
Adina's chair was next to Victoria. So she covered her eyes. Anna got the idea and covered Erik's eyes while Olaf reached over to cover Mia's eyes.
"Who's Dianex?" Elsa asked out of concern.
Aiden looks at her with a serious look. She deserves to know. They all do.
"He's my evil clone. More specifically, he's my Nobody." Aiden finally revealed much to their shock.
Then suddenly Aiden projected holographic images of Dianex. AKA Stormur. And his fights against the Maverick. Showing how brutal and savage he is in a fight. As the images of Aiden fighting Dianex displayed in front of the whole family. Elsa couldn't fathom the horror she was seeing. None of the family could.
"So. You're the Maverick. You don't look much." Stormur says to Maverick during their first fight.
The dark voice of Stormur gave them shivers.
"Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black. Given that you've been in my closet." Maverick mocked back
The intense fighting between Stormur and Maverick displayed in front of them. And the confrontation Aiden had with Dianex back on the pirate world.
"Ugh. What did I ever do to you? Is this just some by the numbers revenge plot that I don't know about?! Are you like the Marvel version of the Arkham Knight or something?!" Aiden ranted at his Nobody.
"I am all that you left behind." Dianex said slowly walking up to Aiden. "But once you're reduced to a bloody puddle of ashes, I will have and be everything that you are."
"Oh my God." Anna gasped with a look of horror on her face.
"That's just messed up in so many ways." Kristoff said in shock of what he has seen.
"Just when I thought these monsters couldn't stoop any lower, they proved me wrong." J'son says with venom in each word.
Once Aiden turned off the holographic images of Dianex. Elsa was seething at this point with her surroundings beginning to freeze slightly.
"Those... Those... THOSE BASTARDS! Elsa screamed as her hands gripped the table releasing torrents of ice and snow everywhere around her.
"Woah Elsa!" J'son shouted and flinched as he got covered in snow.
Her loud angry reaction caused both Mia and Erik to cry. While Adina looked scared.
"Okay Mom calm down!" Aiden eased the Queen while pointing out. "You're making the babies cry."
"Elsa please. Listen to him." Anna pleaded while she was holding her crying son close, shushing and soothing him. "It's okay my little angel. Mama's here."
Hearing this made the Queen instantly calm down. She looked at her daughter with guilt. She went to pick up her crying baby and cooed to calm her down.
"Shh. It's okay baby. I'm not mad. I'm so sorry for scaring you my Little Snowflake." Elsa soothed and then turned to everyone else. "I'm sorry for my reaction everyone."
"It's okay Elsa. I know this is a lot to take in. Especially since this... Thing looks like Aiden. He looks a lot like you. Did you notice that Aiden? But seriously it's okay." Anna eased her sister while rambling a bit.
Then Anna sat Erik back in his high chair after he stopped crying. She proceeded to gently wipe his tears away and Elsa did the same for Mia while kissing her forehead and handed her back to J'son.
"If I looked like I joined a Vampire's club while playing the next Batman. Yeah I noticed." Aiden solemnly agreed thinking about how Dianex looks out of his suit.
"It's okay Auntie Elsa." Adina came over on Elsa's lap and hugged her. Comforting her. "We know you didn't mean to be scary."
Leave it to a child to ease the mind of the Queen. Elsa smiled and hug the girl back.
"Thank you Adina. You're such a sweetheart." Elsa says and ruffles the young girl's hair making her giggle.
Aiden figured that maybe a little levity would be needed to ease the tension.
"So yeah. That was pretty much what we got out of them so far. A dark and brooding reboot of me and a bunch of walking squid like zippers who work for the boys in the hood." Aiden resumed for them.
Elsa can only nod, her thoughts still on the fact that there was a dangerous foe out there who looks almost exactly like her son.
"Anyway We ran into Dianex the first time in a realm near the Olympus Coliseum. While we were dealing with a conspiracy caused by Hades AKA the Greek Satan." Aiden stated. "He kicked my ass, and then Victoria kicked his ass back. Then I ran into him later on and kicked his ass back. Then we met up with him on another world and he kicked mine again. And after that me and Sora kicked his ass. And I'm pretty sure it's going to be like a 'rinse and repeat' until old Norm Storm runs out of juice and crokes. Because so far all he's ever been good at is losing, despite the damage he's done."
Aiden made it sound so easy. And he should know better that people like Stormur are neve easy. But the young hero already knew that.
"I wouldn't be so certain, Aiden" J'son said in all seriousness. "If he truly is your Nobody. Then he will be much more dangerous the next time."
"What makes you say that, Sir?" Sora asks in confusion.
"Because the race Aiden and I are a part of, we have this trait where whenever we win or lose in combat, the next time we become faster, stronger, more tactical. If this... Stormur truly was a creation based off of my son, you may have your work cut out for you." J'son finishes with a grim look.
"I know Dad. Lash was no different and now he's rusting under the Fjord. Taskmaster was the same way and now he's chewing his tongue in a Nova Corp asylum. But you're right. Stormur is everything like me in the worst possible way. Then I have to be unpredictable back at him." Aiden stated as he knew where his Father was going with this.
"Exactly. But you also have to remember not to underestimate your foes. Doing so could be your downfall, no matter how powerful you are." J'son stated cleanly and firmly.
"And that goes for all of you." Elsa finally says after coming to grips with the new information given.
"Yes Your Majesty." The Guardians of the Multiverse nodded.
However Aiden gave both his parents a strange look. While he took his parents words of wisdom to heart he was expecting both of them to get serious and worry for his safety. Or even worse, forbid him from continuing the journey with his friends.
"Okay...Any particular reason you're both not going to freak out and put me under parental lockdown?" Aiden asked while looking confused.
He remembered there was a time when Elsa didn't allow Aiden to use his gummi ship. And now it's like she doesn't have anything to worry about despite them going up against a worthy foe.
Then again the other foes in the past were worthy.
"Aiden. Trying to get you to stop, has been one of the few failures of my entire life. But some time ago, I came to the realization that I can't stop you from following your heart, nor should I try to." Elsa says with a sad smile. "This Organization XIII needs to be stopped. And you and your friends are probably the only ones who can truly stand against them."
"I am Groot." Baby Groot nodded while saying he wished that wasn't the case, but she's right.
Elsa then walks up to Aiden and puts her hands on his shoulders.
"Just promise me that you will be careful and make sure to come back to us. And back to me, when all's said and done. " The Queen said to her son and looked to the other guardians "the same goes to you all."
The part about safety was for the whole team. While the part about coming back to her was mostly to Aiden. And also Victoria. And Baby Groot.
Aiden held her hand and gave her am assuring smile. "Count on it."
Later down at the Mav Club…..
While Gerda was watching over Adina and had put the babies in the nursery for a nap. The team and the rest of the Frozen family were standing in a giant slow moving elevator that leads down to the Mav Club.
They all were chatting to pass the time.
"So everyone in Arendelle knows who Aiden is but no one outside does?" Kairi asked Elsa.
"Well the only ones who do know is my cousin Rapunzel and her family." Elsa answered. "But everyone else sees the Maverick as the Bright Knight of Arendelle."
"So they think that the Maverick lives in the Snow Queen's basement?" Kairi playfully asked.
"No. They think the Snow Queen lives in the Maverick's attic." Aiden quipped smirking back at Elsa.
"Oh I'm sorry. Did you just say you don't want your allowance for the next year?" Elsa snips back with a smirk.
"Eh... You know what that's fine. I receive the due rewards of my deeds. Cause I still got a mountain load of treasure from the last world we visited." Aiden remarked.
Aiden meant all of the treasures that he, Sora and Jack Sparrow collected during their sail against Barbossa when they were heading towards Isla De Muerta. Their ship the Interceptor kept stopping by every passing Island. Then Sora and Aiden would go down there and use their magic abilities to quickly dig up treasure and leave. For them it was like collecting all the bonus points in a video game.
"Treasure? How did you get treasure?" Elsa asked, looking confused.
"Well we were dealing with some pirates that were cursed by an ancient Aztec treasure on the last world we visited." Sora says.
"And they were a pain to beat even though they fight like wasted Navy retirees." Aiden remarked. and grinned at Anna and Elsa. "However... I booty trapped an entire island and they took every trap like the Home Alone bandits. I recorded the whole thing."
"Of course you did." Elsa sighed with a smirk and a roll of the eyes.
"Ohhh! You gotta show me that footage before you leave!" Anna says with excitement.
"Oh definitely. As soon as I upload it to my lair's computer. But personally I put my time with those Sea Monkeys just below my time with the Ravagers.. Because no one compares to Tazer-" Aiden snickered. and choked on a laugh. "Sorry Tazer- Oh my God...Hahaha! I can't say it with a straight face! "
"Tazer who?" Sora asked looking at Aiden who was trying hard not to laugh.
Aiden stood back up and straightened himself. And he asked Victoria. "Do you remember when we first met? You and Dad were being chased by the Ravagers and they took me instead, mistaking me for Mister Knife?"
"Do you have to bring that up?" Elsa sighed remembering that Aiden was kidnapped by those monsters.
"We took them down didn't we?" Aiden reminded his Mom.
"You mean the part where they blew themselves up after I rescued you right?" Victoria crossed her arms.
"I remember it totally different from those details." Aiden quipped.
"Sure you do. You were unconscious." Victoria rolled her eyes.
"Anyway. I was in my Maverick suit. And you remember that they had Darkwing Duck as their other prisoner. And just when they had me on a silver platter tied to a chair and ripe for the kill. What does their ugly as frick captain do instead?"
"He starts monologuing." Victoria snickered.
"He starts monologuing! And I don't mean in that cliché speak about how feeble I am compared to the captain and how inevitable my defeat is or crap like that. He gives the most awkward and obliviously stupid name at the end of his speech. I even recorded the whole thing." Aiden held in his laugh as he played the recording on his elevator tv screen.
The screen plays back a recording of when Maverick was held captive by Tazerface. From the beginning of his last journey.
"While aboard my ship. Unless if you want your death to be painful. You will show respect." Taserface growled at Maverick, as he stood in the middle of the room looking at both prisoners. "You will both know to tremble! And salute! Before the Ravagers, and their great captain! TASERFACE!"
All of his men cheered loudly around the captain. And as Taserface relished in his glory, their revelry faded before the sound of hysterical laughter.
Taserface looked down at Maverick who was laughing hard.
"HAHAHAHA GASP HAHAHAHAHAHAHA oooh God... Give me a second I'm sorry. I mean i don't know where that speech or introduction came from. But your name, is… is Taserface?" Maverick asked while he was still laughing.
"That's right." Taserface answered.
"Do you….Shoot tasers out of your face?" Maverick inquired.
"IT's METAPHORICAL!" Taserface pumped his fists in the air. Earning another cheer from all of his men, once they were done cheering…
"For…..What?" Maverick responded.
"For. It is a name, that strikes fear! Into the hearts, of anyone that hears it!" Taserface said proudly.
But instead of cheering, everyone just shrugged and murmured about how 'okay' it sounds.
Then the family and team stared blankly until they started laughing as well.
"Fear? More like pity that he ended up with a name like that." Sora said with a smirk.
This caused the team to laugh also, Kairi was giving a few giggles, Donald and Goofy leaned on each other's backs as they laughed. Aiden and Victoria chuckled and the Arendelle royal sisters ended up in a fit of giggles. And their husbands were hunched over their knees laughing. Olaf and Sven were with them as well and they collapsed on the floor laughing.
"Hehehehe... Oh God, that always gets me." Aiden wiped his eyes. Then he pressed the remote. "Watch the response I gave seconds after that."
Then the footage played the best part where Maverick made fun of Tazerface's name.
"WHAT?!" Taserface yelled, getting annoyed.
Maverick wheezed through his nose as he laughed a little.
"I'm sorry. I am so, sorry! I just keep imagining you waking up in the morning, crying after your last motivational seminar. Then you go to the dollar store to buy that outfit you're wearing. After that you go home and look at yourself in the mirror and with all seriousness saying to yourself." Maverick then imitated Taserface's voice. "You know what would be really a kickass name? TASERFACE! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Most of his crew were snickering and trying not to laugh.
" That's how i hear it inside my head!" Maverick was kicking in his seat laughing. "What was your second choice?! Scrotum hat!?"
Then Tazerface's crew burst out laughing hard and loud. Even Darkwing was laughing so hard he couldn't breathe.
Everyone in the elevator could help but laugh at this as well.
Anna burst into laughter for a moment before saying in a deep voice. "I am Scrotum Hat! Fear Me!"
This causes the Disney duo to fall on the floor laughing, the other guardians are holding their stomachs from all the laughing.
And even the Snow Queen, who would've normally scolded Aiden and Anna by now, was having difficulty holding in her own giggles and laughs.
Baby Groot fell off of Aiden's shoulder as he fell on the floor laughing so hard.
Just after everyone stopped laughing. Olaf took a deep breathe and straighten himself up. Olaf looked up at Aiden and asked innocently. "What's a scrotum?"
Aiden dropped his face looking awkward as he could come up with an answer. "Uhhh…"
then the elevator stops as it reached its destination.
"Oh look! We're here." Aiden quickly announced as he sighed in relief and whispered. "Dodged a bullet."
The doors began to open and the team prepared themselves to see Aiden's lair.
"I am Groot?" Baby Groot asked.
"No Groot, I'm not singing Pure Imagination. Not until I finish the ice cream sundae bar." Aiden answered.
'Welcome Guardians.' IRIS said as the doors open. And music started playing from the lair's stereo speakers.
(Separate Ways - Journey)
Here we stand
Worlds apart
Hearts broken in two, two, two
Sleepless nights
Losing ground
I'm reaching for you, you, you
Sora and Kairi were the only ones that's never seen the Mav Club. So they looked around in amazement of the clean white metallic steel exterior and the neon lights that blended in. The many different Maverick suits and Blaze suits that were on display in different glass case pedestals all lined up in roles between the halls, like suits of armor displayed in a castle. The many large clear steel doors that lead to a different room and chamber. And the giant super computer screen that was stationed straight ahead from the elevator.
Feelin' that it's gone
Can't change your mind
If we can't go on
To survive the tide
Love divides
"Oh... My... God!" The Destiny duo say at the same time.
"Hey that's what Rapunzel said when you brought her down here." Olaf pointed out innocently.
The shock and awe evidently stayed on Sora and Kairi's faces as they looked around the secret lair and what's behind each door. One room holds a gym with all kinds of equipment and another room next to it had a pool with an indoor waterfall. Another room had a pool table with a air hockey table and several classic arcade stations, several comfortable couches and chairs all facing a giant TV with all kinds of gaming systems installed. And another room they found was the sauna and hot springs room, with the hot springs being as deep as swimming pools in certain areas.
Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched
And went our separate ways
"Oooh. I call dibs!" Olaf giggled as he ran in to relax in the sauna with Sven.
"How is he not melting?" Sora asked tilting his head at Olaf.
"Well he used to have a mini snow flurry that rained over his body. But I eventually gave Olaf a permanent frost to his body, or a permafrost as Aiden likes to call it." Elsa answered.
"Nice. So he can never melt." Sora nodded and smiled at Olaf who was leaning back on a lounge as he enjoyed the steam.
"Precisely." Elsa smiled as well.
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched
And went our separate ways
While the music was still playing in the background. Sora and Kairi had finished looking around and they turned to Aiden as the others gathered around the computer.
"Alright IRIS, give me an update on the Highwind Mark III designs." Aiden said while he sat in front of the computer.
'Due to some much needed firmware updates. The Highwind Mark III will not be ready to launch until much later on.' IRIS informed him while displaying the details on the computer. 'However. The Starburst mark III has all of the updated features and upgrades necessary to travel through the next gateway and the threat level would be five points below.'
"Perfect odds. I would've gone with two points below, but I don't bite the hand that feeds knuckle sandwiches." Aiden said while typing and adding in a couple of other mods to the ship. Then he looked over at Sora. "Are you okay with switching to a different ship? I ask because I know you're nostalgic."
"Nope. I don't mind. And I'm not nostalgic." Sora answered.
"Does this mean you're getting rid of the giant shoes?" Aiden asked.
"Not on your life." Sora deadpanned.
'Chip and Dale have already moved your luggage and equipment to the Starburst gummi ship.' IRIS informed them.
"Wait, Chip and Dale? How did they get here?" Sora asked.
"Oh I invited them through the ground bridge to help with the ship." Jiminy Cricket answered from down below them.
"He gave me the idea and advice, and I gave him permission." Aiden muttered to the others.
Jiminy turned to Aiden's family who were surprised to see him. A talking cricket.
"Hello there. Cricket's the name. Jiminy Cricket. Official advisor and records keeper of King Mickey and the Guardians." Jiminy tipped his hat in introduction to Elsa and the rest of the family.
"Oh. Well…. It's nice to meet you Mr. Cricket." Elsa smiled and curtsied while hiding the fact that she was mildly weirded out from seeing a cricket talk.
"Did that cricket just talk?" Kristoff asks with a raised brow.
"Believe me what's weird down here is normal in space." J'son said in a deadpan tone.
"Awe. He's so cute!" Anna says and leans down to say hello. "Hello, I'm Anna, Aiden's favorite Aunt."
Jiminy chuckled. "I know. I've heard all about you and your story that took place during the great thaw. I bet you recall the story called Pinocchio?" The Cricket says.
"He means the book about the wooden puppet boy you and I read to Adina two months ago." Victoria explained to Anna.
"Oh yeah! You are one of my favorite characters in that story." Anna said as she pulled out a piece of paper. "Can I have your autograph?"
"It would be my pleasure Ma'am." Jiminy wrote 'Always let your conscience be your guide' on the paper. Then Jiminy asked Aiden. "Oh I almost forgot. Is your Cornerstone still operational?"
Jiminy was concerned after Disney Castle's invasion.
"Oh yeah. Don't worry. Whoever even thinks about coming near this world's cornerstone here. Is going to be singing all kinds of hurt." Aiden pointed at all of the security and turrets and lasers around the Cornerstone chamber in the world.
As long as they have it. No one from the darkness can invade Aiden's homeland.
"You know what Jase, you're right. After seeing talking trees and Snowmen, and not to mention all the world's we've seen. Gods, monsters, aliens and mythological creatures…..And the talking rocks that raised me….. At this point, if I saw a talking wall I wouldn't be surprised." Kristoff shrugged.
"Oh I don't know. You probably wouldn't be saying that if you were with us on Beast's world." Aiden says humorously.
"I'm pretty sure we saw a talking wall at his castle." Sora playfully stated.
"No we fought with a talking wall." Aiden referenced the Heartless guarding the beast's dungeon.
Kristoff blinked before shaking his head. "You know what? I'm not even gonna ask."
"I'm glad you asked!" Aiden humorously beamed as he displayed images and videos of Lumiere and all the talking objects from the Beast's castle. Greeting the guardians and the part where Donald was messing with Cogsworth.
"Well. Since you're all here. I am Madame Armoire. That's 'Ms. Wardrobe' in French. May I help you?" The Wardrobe smiled.
"N-Now D-don't touch that! I'm self-winding, Sir! That's not how- Stop! Ah!" Cogsworth yelped while Donald was whining his dial.
""It is we who are overjoyed to see you!" Lumiere smiled."
"Yeah. All of that is real." Victoria deadpanned looking at the footage.
Anna pouted. "Ah man! I can't believe I missed that." Then she turned to Aiden. "Listen Mr. The next time you go to that world, I want in!"
"You sure about that? I mean I can't say no but in every world lurks its dangers." Aiden remarked.
"Oh come on! What could be so scary and dangerous about that world?!" Anna retorted.
"Jump scare." Victoria deadpanned as she displayed a video of the Beast on the computer screen.
The Beast stood facing the camera as it showed the moment before the guardians fought him to get him back in control. He snarls with a furious glare and lets out a roar. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH!"
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" Anna screams and falls to the floor in shock and fear. "What the hell is that?!"
"That. Is a next step in romantic evolution. And before anyone screams about beastiality. Just hear me out. What you're seeing here is Prince Adam. Once of famed royalty, but full of pride in every bad way." Aiden began telling the Beast's origins in his own words. But accurately on point. "About 18 years ago. An old beggar woman asked for shelter but the prince turned her away due to her ugly appearance. But she warned him that looks can be deceiving, but he didn't listen and turned her away again. And the old woman turned into a really good looking enchantress. The prince begged for forgiveness but she wasn't having it."
"Next thing he knew as punishment his subjects were transformed into talking furniture. And the prince himself was transformed into that thing." Victoria gestures at the screen.
"Oh my." Elsa covered her mouth.
"That's horrible." Anna said looking sadly for the Beast.
"He's been that way for 18 years?" J'son asked while also feeling sympathetic.
"Pretty much. And he was just a boy when he turned into the Beast." Victoria stated.
"Crap. I can't imagine growing up like that." Kristoff shook his head.
"There's no need to be sad though. He's already taking the next steps of turnin back to normal. If he wins the heart of Belle, the girl that came to his castle. The spell will be broken." Goofy added to make them feel hopeful for the Beast.
"Belle is also a Princess of Heart. so there's hope for the prince." Kairi also added.
"Well that's a relief to hear that" Elsa said with an understanding.
"Yeah. Before I fought Ansem, The Beast risked his life to save Belle from the dark castle on Hollow Bastion." Sora says deep in thought.
Anna smirks and says aloud "Sort of like you and your princess."
Sora blushed before throwing his hands out and exclaiming. "We're just friends!"
"Right and Lois and Clark are just misunderstood siblings." Aiden teased.
Donald and Goofy chuckled at this. And so did Anna and Elsa.
"Ugh! Is the ship ready yet?!" Sora asked in annoyance trying to change the subject.
Just then, the two chipmunks Chip and Dale came running up to Sora and the guardians. And they saluted.
"The ship is ready for launch Guardians!" Chip and Dale both said at the same time.
"Whelp that's our cue." Aiden said standing up.
"Awe. So soon?" Anna crooned sadly.
"Don't worry. This will all be over before you know it." Sora reassured the Princess of Arendelle.
"Yeah. We'll be back to celebrate when this is all over." Goofy smiled.
"And we'll bring even more guests, treats and other crap we like to eat." Aiden quipped.
"You'd better." Anna pointed at them with a warning look. Before smiling and beaming. "Hehe. I look forward to seeing you all again. Especially you, my favorite nephew." Anna smirked making her nephew winch.
Aiden shook his head and muttered. "Lord give me a brother fast."
"And I look forward to seeing you again too, my favorite little tree." Anna picked up and hugged Baby Groot.
"I am Groot." Baby Groot smiled and hugged her back.
And if he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
Nooooooooooooooooo
nooooooooooooooooo
Once that was over. The team packed up and went over to the launch station inside the lair where the new Starburst gummi ship was ready for them. The designs were very similar to the Star-Search Aiden used to ride with the original Guardians. Only the windows are tinted and the exterior is a little more smooth and flattened. And the colors changed to green and yellow and the wings are pointed outward with the tips facing back instead of downward.
While everyone else was boarding the ship. Aiden went over Elsa who was smiling at her son. While the other members of his family stood by to say goodbye to him and his team.
"If you have any concerns or second thoughts about the possibilities of my Maverick Doomsday. You can tell me. The last thing I would ever want is to worry you." Aiden said honestly to Elsa.
His job as the Maverick is important. But he loves his mother.
"Aiden, I'm your mother. I'm always going to worry. That's my job. That's the job of all parents." Elsa says and pulls her son into a hug. "But no one believes in you more than I do. Just promise me you will call us every now and then and let me know how you and your team are doing."
"You know I will. I'll update you on everything that happens. You still got the bracelet I gave you?" Aiden asked while hugging her back.
"Knock em dead my little Spark. I don't mean…. literally kill people but you know what I mean. Continue to make us proud. " Elsa said while she touched his cheek.
"Oh I'll floss my teeth with their spine. If they have one." Aiden winked.
Victoria came over and gave Elsa a hug as well.
"Don't worry Queen. I'll keep an eye on this nutcase." She assured Elsa while using Aiden's favorite nickname for his mom.
"We all will. We have his back." Sora assured her while standing at the entrance of the ship.
"I am Groot." Baby Groot promised as well while standing on Victoria's shoulder.
Elsa smiled at everyone of the guardians.
"Thank you. All of you." Elsa says sweetly and sincerely before. "Take care of yourselves and each other now."
"Count on it." Sora gave them a thumbs up.
The family likes them. Aiden could tell. And they were all rooting for them.
Later on on board the Starburst Gummi ship...
Aiden allowed Sora to fly the new gummi ship and shoot down heartless ships around the gateway travel route. Everyone was sitting in their prospective seats. While Aiden was busy playing a cellphone game on his gummiphone. He also sent a text to his Mom and Dad to let them know he's okay and so is the team. The inside of the ship was relatively the same design as their last ship. But with a few added features, and of course the upper and lower deck was a different shape. It was a new flavor for the team.
Once the gummi ship reached its destination they were now hovering over a new world.
"Alright team. We made it." Sora announced.
"Aye aye Captain Bigfoot." Aiden quipped with a Scottish accent and saluted with two fingers, before he asked the computer with his normal voice. "What's up for us next IRIS?"
'It would seem that the world below is a familiar city for Sora, Donald and Goofy. Not only is it the home for one of the Princesses of Hearts. But it's also a place of wonder. Agrabah' IRIS stated.
"Hey! That's Aladdin and Jasmine's world!" Sora says in excitement.
"Oh boy! I can't wait to see them again!" Donald said while moving his arms in excitement.
"Yeah! Ayuck!" Goofy says and laughs.
"Alad who?" Victoria asked, looking confused.
"Wait. Isn't that the world based on the Ten Thousand Arabian Nights? Is Ally Baba still alive?!" Aiden asked, sounding like a fan.
"Who?" Sora asked, tilting his head in confusion.
"Spike, when we get back here after we're done here, I'm seriously considering sentencing you to homeschooling with IRIS and Jiminy as your teachers." Aiden deadpanned.
"Oh? Does it pay well to teach?" Jiminy asked from the other end of the ship, he was busy documenting how well the team's introduction to Aiden's family went.
"Much more than how Bill Nye is paid." Aiden winked back at the cricket.
"Ah. Then I'll consider it." Jiminy tipped his hat to Aiden.
'I must warn you though. The world you're now entering is more inhabited then the last time you've seen it. Since you've stopped the heartless invasion last year, a casual outfit of the world's culture is required.' IRIS advised them.
"So does that mean we get to try on new outfits? I'm cool with that." Kairi smiled and gave the team two thumbs up.
"Alrighty then. You know the drill Ductor Strange." Aiden gave a thumbs up to Donald.
"You can count on me!" Donald stated with pride.
"Alright IRIS. Send us down." Sora smiled and stood ready with the team.
"Who died and made you leader?" Aiden inquired, looking offended at Sora.
"Uh..." Sora faltered, looking surprised.
"Just kidding Pal. It suits you." Aiden smiled and patted him on the back before they were sent down to the world.
In this case. Come on down, stop on by. Hop a carpet and fly. To another Arabian Night!
In the middle of the Bazaar. Located in Agrabah...
In the center of the great and Arabian city of Agrabah. It was a warm afternoon, pleasant weather for a city in the desert. Merchants and commoners coming and going about their business. Selling and shopping as everything seemed to be going well. And no sign of a heartless in sight. But that could change. Thankfully the Guardians arrived by the ship's teleporter in an abandoned alleyway. Where no one saw them appear by the ship's tech. They did however scare a cat away though.
"Alright guys we've...made it." Sora faltered as he looked down at his new outfit. This was kind of a new taste for him.
Sora's new outfit now consisted of a short-sleeved hoodie that stops just above his stomach. It has a sand-like color with gold rings at the ends of the short sleeves. His gloves had become baggy and grey with silver on the right glove and gold on the left. His shorts had become baggy pants the same color as his hoodie with the left leg scrunched up just below his knee, with silver at the bottom of the left pants leg and gold for the right. He also has a belt with a crown belt buckle with an additional belt holding a little pouch. His big shoes are now a gold yellow color with the ends rising up like hooks. And his crown necklace is the same.
"Well this is different." Aiden said and whistled as he was impressed, looking at his own new attire.
He was now wearing a white dress shirt underneath a sky blue vest. He also had a short jacket with light blue on the outer arms and white on the underarms with glowing neon accents separating the two. He also had three gold belts underneath the jacket. His pants were now white with pants protectors on each side the same color of his jacket with neon accents. Topping off our sky blue boots.
"I guess we're working the Arabian Night shift." Aiden punned as he admired his new looks.
"Woah. Nice work Donald!" Goofy was liking his new look as well.
"Uh...Yeah!" Donald says. Only his magic works randomly for the inhabitants. He doesn't come up with them on purpose.
"Waaak!" Donald quacks out as he looks at his own new outfit.
Donald was now wearing a flowing blue robe that goes down to his ankles. On top of his head is a blue turban, the same color as his usual hat. The sleeves are accented with glimmering light blue going towards the opening of the robes. Underneath the robes is a white shirt. And on his feet he has boots the same shape as his webbed feet.
Goofy's outfit consisted of a sleeveless Black shirt over a light grey shirt. On his wrists were gold cuffs and his usual gloves on his hands. He had a dark green cloth around his waist as a belt and baggy tanned pants and bronze colored Hook shoes in his size. And over his torso, he had a Holder for his shield.
"Gawrsh." Goofy chuckled as he admired how well his outfit fitted around him.
All that's left now were the girls. Which is not what they expected for this world's style.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" Kairi and Victoria shrieked and blushed red as they covered themselves in embarrassment.
"Kairi?! What's..." Sora turned around out of concern to face Kairi. But when he saw her, his eyes widened. "Oh wow….."
"What's wrong Vi... Holy Maxim magazine Batman." Aiden 's jaw dropped at what they saw the ladies wearing. Especially his lady.
Victoria's new outfit, such as it was, consisted of a purple tube top that only covered her breasts, a pair of transparent purple pants that went down to just below her knees showing a pair of White undergarments underneath with gold accents at the top and bottom of the pants. She was also wearing gold bands on her wrists and a gold and purple color around her neck. And she had an anklet on each ankle and was barefoot.
Kairi's outfit consisted of a strapless bra held together by a gold clamp in the front. Over that is an open pink sleeveless jacket with white accents. Below her waist she is wearing a pink skirt which drops in the back but rises up towards the front with a loincloth covering the front. And she was also barefoot.
"Donald? You better explain why Kairi and I are dressed like half naked prostitutes, before I rain Kentucky fried heaven, hell and BLAZE ON YOU!" Victoria glared dangerously down at Donald with venom in her voice as she bellowed with lightning striking at the distance in the sound of thunder.
"Waaaaak!" Poor Donald screamed and fell on his tail feathers as he explained in fear. "It's not my fault! My magic can only change our appearances to blend in! But I don't choose the outfits!" He holds his hands up in surrender trying to placate the angry keyblader.
"So it's randomized?! Oh great!" Kairi whined looking embarrassed. Then she looks over at Sora who was blushing red like a ripe tomato. Before she could have any thoughts of teasing him. She gave a straight look at Aiden who was staring at Victoria with a wide eyed blank stare.
"Ugh! fine! Sorry Donald! It's just….. Uh...Aiden? Are you?" Victoria almost asked carefully.
But then Aiden's ring started playing music to match his mood automatically.
(James Brown - I Feel Good)
'Whoa!
I feel good
I knew that I would now
I feel good
I knew that I would now
So good
So good
I got you
Aiden's face had shifted into a big Joker like smile as neon hearts floated around his head due to his magic. He was feeling more than butterflies in his stomach. He figured that maybe he was feeling what grown men feel when they have the hots for sexy women.
"Woah Vicky. Can I take your picture so I can show Santa what I want for Christmas?" Aiden flirted with a happy tone.
Oh boy….
*BOOOM!*
The next minute Aiden found his body buried in the ground with his head sticking out, thanks to a giant hammer made of fire smashing him down on his skull. Victoria was staring down at Aiden looking ready to inflict more pain if he dares try to say the wrong thing again.
"My body, he is sad. But my heart, she is glad." Aiden moaned in a French accent like Pepe Le Pew.
"Keep it up and your heart's next to be sad!" Victoria says with a slight edge to her voice.
"Sheesh. You haven't been this violent since our last Valentine's Day..." Aiden moaned as he tried to pull himself out of the ground. But he couldn't feel his limbs. "Uh... Spike. Could you give me a hand and pull me out? I think Victoria Secrets broke my arms and legs."
Given Aiden can take pain much better than any human being in existence And the fact that he's gotten used to having it over the years, it didn't even notice how his limbs felt. Usually Victoria is reluctant about hurting her boyfriend. But in this case he kind of asked for it acting like a perv. Aiden couldn't help it though. He doesn't mean to be nuts. He just is.
Plus this wasn't the first time Aiden pissed Victoria off and made her want to kill him.
Of course Sora didn't react to Aiden's plea because he was still distracted by Kairi's beauty.
Kairi took this opportunity to smirk and pose with her hand on her hip and her back arched with her legs crossed and her hand in her hair swaying it.
"Like what you see Spikey?" Kairi flirted.
"Oooooohhhhhh." Aiden teased with a smirk and winched a little feeling a tiny sting on his left leg. "Ah! I think something bit me. Does this place have scorpions or something?"
But Sora ignored him still. Trying to come up with the right response for Kairi.
"What are you doing?" Victoria mouthed quietly looking confused at Kairi.
"Sorry Tori. I'm not going to pass this up." Kairi mouthed back. Thank God Sora didn't hear them either.
"W-wo-wow K-Kairi." Sora stuttered out trying to find the right words. "You-you look... Breathtaking." He manages to get out.
Kairi blushed but managed to muster up the will to saunter on her bare feet over to Sora and wrap her arms around his neck.
"Thank you Sora. You're looking rather dashing yourself." Kairi whispered in his ear before planting a small kiss on his cheek before stepping back.
Sora's face was now a dark red with steam coming out of his ears. The next second, he collapsed on his back in shock and awe.
"Oh great. His shy 'kind of sort of' girlfriend can do it but you can't?" Aiden complained looking up at Victoria who glared back at him. Then he sighed. "Okay look I'm sorry. I love you Vic and I can't help if you look divine and beautiful no matter what you wear. But I get it, you deserve more respect then what that sexy outf- I'm sorry...outfit gives you credit for. You've proven that time and time again. So if you pull me out of this tight sand box I promise I won't act like a grand cooled pervert anymore okay?"
He truly meant it. Her feelings matter to Aiden.
Victoria's irritation at Aiden lessened until she sighed and helped her boyfriend up. She pulled him out and his limbs looked like jelly. But they instantly healed as they became stiff and normal again as he texted his arms out.
"You're just lucky I love you. You know that right?" Victoria said to him with her hands on her hips.
"Believe me Babe." Aiden said while looking her in the eyes . "I know I'm the luckiest nutcase in the multiverse to have you as my girlfriend."
"Despite the fact that I just brutalized you with a giant hammer?" Victoria deadpanned but felt flattered.
"It was love. I could still feel the love, and it was two thousand degrees wrapped in purple and pain." Aiden remarked as he touched her cheek. "But seriously you look hypnotic, hot. And beautiful."
This caused Victoria to blush slightly before she smiled and rolled her eyes saying "Oh just kiss me already you smart ass."
And with that, Victoria leaned towards him and kissed him right on the lips. Aiden's eyes lit up as he kissed her back. Victoria wrapped her arms around his neck while Aiden's arms around her back. Thankfully he was careful not to touch her hips.
While they were kissing. Baby Groot stood on top of a crate next to them. smiling at Victoria and Aiden while his outfit just consisted of some yellow hook shoes, a white sleeveless jacket with a matching turban.
"I am Groot?" Baby Groot interrupted them and asked how he looked with his arms held out like he was displaying himself.
"Like a little dessert jewel." Victoria answered with a smile.
Sora finally got back up and groaned a little. "What happened?" He asked while rubbing the back of his head.
" Your…. 'not' girlfriend's new outfit caused your pheromone levels to go nuclear and you fainted." Aiden answered humorously.
"She's not!... Ugh whatever." Sora groaned in annoyance and stood up.
"Okay now that you're out of the pink clouds. Where to?" Victoria asked Sora.
"Hmmm. Gawrsh maybe we should head to the palace and see how Aladdin 'n Jasmine are doin." Goofy figured.
"Good idea." Kairi agreed.
"Maybe Riku is with them." Sora hoped with a positive attitude.
"Yeah and the king." Goofy added with a smile.
"Keep dreaming you two." Donald retorted with doubt.
"Come on Donald, you were thinking the same thing." Sora nudged him.
"No I wasn't!" Donald denied.
"Yeah you totally were, I'm a living lie detector remember? I know when someone drops bull crap like a spoiler sheet on an episode of Judge Judy." Aiden mused.
"Ah Phooey!" Donald waved them off.
"Well, we'll just have to wait and see." Kairi shrugged as they walked out of the alley.
The team weren't sure when and where the action was about to start yet. But they knew it was coming. Aladdin and Jasmine might be caught in the middle of it. And the Guardians of the Multiverse will be ready.
That's all for now folks!
Okay let's answer some obvious questions. Where did I get the ideas for their new outfits?
"Especially my Vicky looking like a hot spicy Maxim model." Aiden says while daydreaming about Victoria's new look.
*BAM!*
"What was that Frosty?" Victoria says sweetly while Aiden's laying on the floor in pain.
"What? It was a compliment!" Aiden moaned in pain. "Can't a guy like me have value in the best woman in the multiverse?!"
"Not when they're grinning like a hungry man looking at a steak." She deadpanned with a glare.
I swear if he keeps this up, he won't have to worry about Stormur killing him because Victoria may just do that for him.
Anyway, Sora's Agrabah outfit is based on a Deviantart picture by 'HeavenAndSky'. Check out her design for the Costume Design Contest.
Also Goofy is dressed like the palace guards in Agrabah. Donald's new Arabian wizard outfit is more custom made to look like the Arabian man outfit from another Deviantart artist named 'Bladdneart'.
Baby Groot's new look was easy to make since he's a small tree.
Aiden's new outfit is based on young Sinbad from 'Magi: The Adventures of Sinbad'.
But I would like to give another special gratifying thank you to my friend SPYRO 101! Who not only helped me write this chapter. But he also came up with the idea for Victoria and Kairi's new outfits. Victoria's outfit is based off of Aisha Belka from the Danmachi series. And Kairi's new outfit is based on Lena Tally who's also from the Danmachi series. Only their outfits are not too revealing as the anime show, and Kairi is also wearing a skirt like Kida's outfit from Disney's Atlantis 'The Lost Empire'. To cover a little more than what should be shown.
So yeah. A lot of hard work went into making all of this chapter happen.
Also the reason why I referenced Tazerface again by showing a video of the chapter he was in from the last story. Is because originally I wanted Anna and Elsa to be captured too so they can react to Aiden's humor and laugh with him. But it wouldn't have worked for the last story. So I went with putting it in here as a trip down happy memory lane.
Still I hope everyone has enjoyed seeing Sora and the team meeting Aiden's family and bringing them back into the story. Especially the special bond he has with Elsa. I couldn't make this story without it. So I hope this made everyone who were fans of my first story happy to see.
Plus Elsa now knows about Dianex. But she has more faith in her son. Now more than ever before.
Thank you all for reading. Don't forget to leave comments and let me know your thoughts.
And As always Disney/Square Enix fans!
FISTBUMP!
