Mal's first impression of Corona was awe in the old sense of the word. The city was impressive, the noise overwhelming, the myriad of scents and colors assaulting her senses… And the people. So many people walking around like ants in an anthill.

Yes, an anthill seemed like a good comparison of Corona.

The duo walked through the backstreets of the city. The duo was working on he case of the recent string of accidents that had recently befallen Corona. To Mal's disappointment, No one seemed to care.

"Apathetic. This seems to be the norm in this town. People only care about their own business, and they expected everyone else to do the same. "Great, how can help this world when no one seems to care."

" Keep it down, you know we have to keep low"

"Noted. I'll keep my head low."

"We better be careful."

The duo suddenly footsteps appraoching , As they came closer, Mal moved and peered . And that was when she saw who was making the footsteps. It was a group of Nobodies " Nobodies why are they here ?" Mal asked as she and Pete ducked down behind some barrels , the Nobodies looked around making their weird noises Before moving on.

BBBOOOOOOOM! a man suddenly came flying past smacking into a wall . " What the hell " , Mal said the man screamed in pain as he turned yellow, light burst out of the man, swirling around the women before being absorbed by her, the man began to shrivel up. " She drained his lifeforce" Pete gasped. Mal stood up " Oh Mal" The woman said " Mom?" Mal said. The woman, Maleficent transformed into her classic form.

" Turning good as made you stupid " Maleficent sneered, she began to circle Mal " You think Pete would willingly help you? It was part of my plan my dear sweet stupid idiotic child"

Mal turned to Pete, who just walked over to Maleficent " Sorry kid but your mom is my boss " he mumbled. Mal was in shock, she had been banished by Audrey, lost all her friends and now was lead into a trap by one of her mother's friends.

" Why are you doing this?" Mal said.

" Why? You ask why you turned me into a lizard for years and you have the nerve to ask me why I'm doing this. See that school has really made you stupid " Maleficent said.

" Mom Audrey has your staff" Mal said

Maleficent summoned her staff " No its a fake those goody goody made since they couldn't find my real one, Pete here had hidden for me, now show me what you got " Maleficient said "Mom no..." Mal yelled as a Keyblade blocked Maleficent's strike.

"A Keyblade! Impossible! Heartless get her " Maleficent said

"What a bitch but then again you were always one " Riku said smirking the Heartless charged at Riku other causing sparks of lighting to flash as they made contact with each other , the woman sent more and more Heartless at Riku , the battle raged when BOOM! A Hardbody struck Mal hard causing sparks to fly and knocking her into Riku.

Mal weakly pulled herself up for what seemed like the billionth time. Her body was battered and bruised. She was sure her lung was punctured and she could tell some her bones were broken and she could taste her own blood. But still barely able to breath her limbs shaking she got up. Mal only making it to one knee.

"Why don't you just lay down and die," Maleficent said. "You first," Mal spat. "Brave words from some one at death's door. Tell me why do you let your stupid pride drive you," Maleficent said. "See that's where you're wrong. Its honor, loyalty and love that drives me. I promised to fight until my last breath. That's what keeps getting me up. That's why I refuse to give in, ill fight with my whole heart!..." Mal said.

" And that's what's going to end you Eliminate them ," Maleficent said as the Heartless prepared to fire off a charged shot. "Goodbye," Maleficent said as the Heartless fired a blinding crimson light exploded.

Mal watched as in disbelief as The Heartless bodies fell to the to the sand in what seemed like slow motion as the Heartless faded away. Riku had blocked the attack by reflecting it back at the Heartless the man that was attacked was gone. Riku looked around Maleficent and Pete was also gone.
