Were back folks!
If you read the last chapter, you know what happens next Here. Sorry this took so long, i needed time to think this on through. That and like i said before, it's hard to write something like this when your the only one working on it.
But rest assured, despite the fact that i may have debated in the past, i will never give up on this story! Just help me become motivated by leaving your thoughts in reviews or comments and talk about my story, that's all i ask.
On a side note, i watched the season 2 finale of Tangled The Series.
"Or is it Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure? Make up your mind!" Maverick pondered.
Whatever, and i only got one thing to say about it. YIKES! I never saw that twist in the end coming! They may have ended it before, but not like this. I won't spoil it, but i have some theories on how season 3 will end and i will tell you all once everyone has seen and digested the last episode. But if you have any theories on what will happen next in the series, let me know.
And no, it won't affect what i'm writing here or what i have written and will write for the Tangled characters. I believe that all the characters will resolve their conflict in the show.
because in the words of Sora, the heart may be weak. And sometimes it may even give in. But deep down, there's a light that will never go out.
Draken45: Hmm….. You might be onto something.
Any now that we're here.
LET'S GET DANGEROUS!
He's My What?!
Neverland…..
As the shocking words slipped out of the shaman Moon Wolf's mouth, Maverick head turn to Elsa on the screen. She looked almost as confused as he was if not completely.
"someone better start talking, before i deliver some red cold justice." Maverick said calmly looking around.
"And it's not just her." Moon Wolf kept going as if she didn't hear him. "They all have met him including you. She and her sister are starting to figure out, and now you-"
"Okay just stop Snooperhontas, you've already said enough." Maverick cut her off.
This native shaman never did consider fragile hearts of those who have felt that the true was too much to bare. This is one of those cases.
Maverick walked over to the phone and switch the call to his ring.
"If anyone needs me, i'll be on my ship having a seizure." Maverick said sarcastically to his team.
"Aiden wait." Blaze tried to stop him, but Maverick teleported out before she could say anything.
"I didn't know heart attacks were considered a relief to humans." Zambron said not getting the 'seizure' metaphor.
Back on the Star Search….
Maverick teleported in his bunk and shifted back to Aiden, as he was quickly breathing heavily, pacing back on forth until he sat, down and pulled Elsa, Anna and Rapunzel backup on a hologram screen from his ring. He place the ring on a table and sat down on his bed in front of them.
"Aiden i swear, i have no idea what she's talking about." Elsa insisted in view of the screen.
"Relax, nobody is saying you do. For all we know we could've ran into him without knowing. Or maybe Moon Shine over was screwing with us." Aiden said pinching the bridge of his nose. "But the last thing i would want to find out is that, she hid something as twisted like this from me."
Elsa knew Maverick wasn't really talking about her when he said 'she'.If his father is really alive, why didn't she tell him? Even when he got to see her again?
"She?" Rapunzel asked.
"He means his birth mother." Anna whispered in her ear.
"You knew her well Aiden." Elsa affirmed.
"Maybe not well enough." Aiden muttered.
"She would never hurt you like this. We don't know if all of this is true." Elsa said.
"But you are suspecting if someone might be my dad, just now." Aiden stated looking straight at Elsa's eyes. "I can feel it because our hearts are linked."
Because their hearts are connected so well, Aiden could always feel what the Queen was thinking whenever he wanted to. Even when they are apart, like now. He could sense the Queen's feelings from her last conversation with the ex king of Spartax.
Elsa sighed and was about to say something until...
" I've had my suspicions as well." Anna spoke up. surprising Elsa.
"Anna?" Elsa asked.
Anna bit her tongue and look at Aiden on the screen. "There's….. a small chance that…" She cringed.
"J'son might be your father." Rapunzel blurted out.
"WHAT!?" Aiden shrieked in a high pitch voice.
Did she really just say that? He couldn't believe what his ears just picked up.
"You too Raps?!" Elsa added with wide eyes.
"Anna told me!" Rapunzel said defensively.
" I had to tell somebody!" Anna added.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Elsa inquired.
" I was going to but you were dealing with too much as it is." Anna answered.
Elsa couldn't argue with her there. She was dealing with the emotional trauma of not having with her and far away, even if she would not admit Queen's thoughts were interrupted by the young teen boy laughing.
"Okay this is a joke right? Have you girls been drinking the chardonnay? Cause there's no way it could be him. The Shi'ar are too strict about stepping out of their territory." Aiden scoffed in a chuckle of denial. "And my mom lived in Radiant Garden her whole life. There's no way they could've met."
"But he mention that his wife was human." Anna said coming in view of the screen.
Aiden snorted. "So? they have humans on most of the planets in the Shi'ar Empire." He said. And J'son's wife died in an explosion during Deathbird's massive coup on his planet thirteen years ago."
"But just hear me out, what if he thought that his wife died in the explosion, but she escaped during the whole crisis and hid from Deathbird in Radiant Garden, keep you safe?" Anna stated then smiled. "If that's true, then this could be a chance to have what you've been missing out on."
Having a full circle in the family.
Aiden just stared blankly at the screen at first. No one could know what he was thinking until he spoke up. "Aunt Red. You've been watching way too many lifetime movies and drinking Ovaltine." He responded.
"It's Hot Chocolate." Anna deadpanned with a small smile.
"Whatever it is. Look did J'son tell you that he's my father?" Aiden asked trying his best to not sound annoyed.
"No, but he said his wife's name was Amelia." Anna revealed. "Thirteen years ago, your thirteen. His wife has the same name as your mother. That can't be a coincidence."
"What if it is a coincidence?!" Aiden asked refusing to give in.
He was in total denial. He just found it hard to except that his real mother lied to him all those years ago.
"But what if it isn't?" Anna replied and sighed . "Do you remember that story you use to tell about Zardu Hasselfrau?"
"Who?" Aiden furrowed his brows.
You know, the guy who owned a magic carriage and fought bad guys in that show you use to watch with your mother?" Anna said smiling.
"David Hasselhoff." Aiden moaned. "And it wasn't a magic carriage, it was a talking car."
"Oh Right. I knew that." Anna giggled in embarrassment.
"Why did his ride talk again?" Rapunzel asked.
"To help him fight crime and being supportive, like bringing in a younger audience that's into New Kids On The Block." Aiden deadpanned. "The name of the show was called Knight Rider, an oldies show my Mom use to watch."
"You called Eugene that once." Rapunzel remarked.
"Now you know why." Aiden said while rolling an ice ball in his hands.
"As i recall, Every time we attended a ball together. You would carry his picture in your pocket." Elsa smiled at him as she spoke softly. "And you would tell all the other children that he was your father and that he was out town."
" Performing on stage and touring with his band in Germany." Aiden finished for her in annoyance. "I only told them that to keep you from looking single in front of all of them."
"You told that the kids at my birthday party as well. I reaaaaaally loved hearing that." Rapunzel beamed.
"Oooh so do i!" Anna gushed.
"Well i despised it girlfriend." Aiden quipped like an ethnic cosmetologist, and dropping the ice ball in his hands.
"Why?" Anna whined with a frown.
"Because it's was depressing. Even as ex cancer patient i would always watch the other kids go off and play catch with their dads." Maverick confessed.
"And you wanted that more than anything." Elsa realized.
"At first i did. That and getting cured. But i settle with just having one of those miracles happen." Maverick shrugged and scoffed. "And after all of the crap i went through afterwards, and everything i lost. Well, Why would i dream for more again if i got it all back?"
Losing his mother and his world. He didn't know what he had until it was gone, he doesn't want to lose what he has now.
"Oh Aiden." Elsa sympathized.
" That's what i'm saying honey, what if your getting all back right now? What if J'son is your Hasselhoff?" Anna asked sound just as sympathetic.
Aiden didn't want to respond to that, not that he got the chance to. because of the sound of a loud native alarm horn blowing from out outside. Signaling Danger approaching in the Native's Camp.
"What is that?" Elsa asked.
"Trouble." Aiden answered her as he stood up and shifted back into The Maverick. " I'm sorry, we'll talk later."
Before Elsa could say anything else, Maverick quickly hung up on them. He was looking for a reason to get out of that conversation. Aiden didn't know what was worse. Finding out he had a father all these years and not knowing it. Or having his secret crush exposed in the worst way possible.
Either way, Aiden was going to have a long of ground to cover after all the action.
Back At The Native's Camp…..
Maverick flew back over to find his team fighting with some enemies in the middle of the camp. Not the Brood or Death Birds men. But Dark Enemies. The kind that bring nothing but the darkness with them.
"The Heartless?!" Maverick exclaimed as he landed down and brought his keyblades out.
"Mav! What the hell are these things?!" Blaze exclaimed as she slice through two of them.
" The Heartless! Don't let your guard down and don't turn the lights off!" Maverick answered as he fought side by side with her.
They were cutting through the ones that kept spawning, while Darkwing Duck kept jumping around and shooting at them.
"Tell me. Do you stay in the shadows because your fans of me? Or are you all just plain ugly?" Darkwing Duck joked as he grapple a Heartless with his hook and swung it around.
Then Zambron kept running and slashing through them with his two new ice daggers Aiden made for him.
"ROAGH!" Zambron roared as he jumped and slammed his fists down, wiping many of them out.
And allowing the hearts to float and fade away.
Groot had it easy with him slinging his branch arms and taking all of those small shadow Heartless out. Since they were only fighting the more common small shadow Heartless, Groot found this easy.
That and you don't need a keyblade if you have a strong heart. And the guardians have strong hearts despite their flaws.
Maverick and Blaze kept spinning their weapons, slashing and deposing of the Heartless that kept leaping at them. They swayed and made a quick turn toward each other and clash their weapons together. Creating a shockwave of lighting and neon to wipe them all out.
Soon there were no more Heartless, and the band took a breather.
"What were those creature?" Zambron huffed on his knees.
"Those, were the Heartless. They were written as Living meditations from the darkness of people's hearts." Maverick answered. " I've never seen one in person until now."
"What do you think brought them here?" Blaze asked him.
"I have no idea, but let's hope they're the only bad news we have around here." Maverick shook his head.
"Okay! The bad guys are gone!" Darkwing Duck called out to all of the civilians who were hiding in their tents.
They all chanted and yelled out their howls of joy, as they clapped for the guardians. Moon Wolf and her sister Tiger Lilly chief approached them from out of the village chief's tent. Along with the chief.
"You saved us from Dark ones. You gave gratitude from us." The chief waved his hands.
"No thanks necessary. But with the location of Peter Pan, we'll bring him back and then be on our way." Blaze grinned to them.
"Right. I know where he is. But it's not good." Moon Wolf expressed fearfully.
" We'll handle it, give us the location." Blaze persisted.
Moon Wolf nodded as she stood from the cliffs and pointed outward towards the ocean. They could see a large fog, surrounding miles worth of water.
"He is trapped in the that fog out in the sea. Our people call it the Isle of the Astray, because no ship has ever returned from such a place." Moon Wolf stated.
"Well we're not flying a boat, so danger is going to be so disappointed." Maverick quips.
"There is a doorway that only opens at night. For now it's nothing but mist over there."
" Doorway? Like what a portal?" Maverick asked her.
"If that is what you call it, yes." Moon Wolf nodded. "It will appear at the center of the fog."
"Well then." Maverick looked at his team. "Let's go make preparations to bring Pizza Pan back."
Back on the Star Search…..
The Guardian's returned to the ship to fly out there towards the fog, where the Isle of the Astray were to appear. But when the ship got close, Maverick flew them over the fog. High up in the sky and over the clouds
Anything that could cause damage wouldn't from up on high right?
Once the ship made it miles high above the fog, Maverick scanned the area. Wanting to make sure that nothing down there in the fog could hurt his team and the ship.
"IRIS, can this ship handle whatever germs thats in that dark farty air down below?" Maverick asked while flying the ship.
" There is too much darkness that is interfering with my readings, but your suits and powers are impervious to the effects. Once doorway to the Isle of the Astray appears, I recommend proceeding on foot and keeping the ship from a safe distance." IRIS said.
"What if we get trapped down there?" Maverick asked.
"The ship's radar as a linked to the entire crew's signature. Even if you were in a black hole, you can teleport back at any moment." IRIS answered.
"This is why you're better than the average Google, IRIS." Maverick complemented.
"Thank you." IRIS said.
Maverick turned his seat and addressed his team on the bridge.
"Alright Guardians, we have until nightfall to prepare for our search and rescue for the Flying Trap-Tease. Unfortunately the ship is allergic to the unknown dark peril down there, but me and Vic here are not. So all of you is going to have smell like us, more specifically me." Maverick stated pacing back and forth.
"I do not understand. How is smelling like you going to protect us from danger?" Zambron asked.
"Like this." Maverick answered while snapping his finger.
And a protective neon lawyer covered Zambron, Groot and Darkwing Duck's bodies like a forcefield.
"I am Groot." Groot remarked, obviously pleased with Maverick's idea.
"Well even I'm suppose to gloom not shine, i make this look good." Darkwing Duck said posing his illuminated body. The neon shielding made his purple outfit light up.
"Yeah you put Howard The Duck to shame, not that he needed help with that." Maverick fist bumped him then looked at everyone. " But let's save those batteries for tonight."
Maverick turned the neon shields off causing them to stop glowing. "Aw man." Darkwing Duck sulked.
"Anyway. We know what our goal is tonight. Once the doorway appears, we find Pan, bring him back, get the hell out of there and then slap him in the back of the head. But make sure to stay close and whiten my sight, if i lose track of any of you i won't be able to keep your shields up." Maverick informed them.
"We will not fail Maverick." Zambron nodded.
"We'll stay close like a canceled sitcom." Darkwing Duck saluted.
"Good, gets some R&R For now while you still can, me and Mav her have a few things to take care of." Blaze told them, giving Maverick a look that meant they needed to talk.
"I am Groot." Groot nodded. Translate: 'We'll be ready when your ready.'
Once they all walked out, Maverick joined Blaze inside her room so they could have a private conversation. They both shifted their suits off so they could both talk as Victoria and Aiden.
"What's up?" Aiden muttered as he sat down on her head.
Victoria sat down next to him. Her gaze was compassionate and sympathetic, the kind of look that Aiden wasn't use to seeing from her.
"I know this hasn't been…. easy for you." Victoria said softly. "With everything going on and you being taken from your home and your mother. I just…. you know you can talk to me, right?"
Aiden didn't brush her off like he did with his family on the phone earlier, he felt a little guilty for doing so. The boy just looked down and nodded.
"To tell you the truth, i've been wanting to go on a cosmic journey, ever since i've met IRIS and discovered this ship. Just didn't imagine it would be like this." Aiden said plainly.
" This battle isn't something you asked for. I brought you into this, and i can't help but feel responsible for whatever happens to…." Victoria tried to say.
"Where is this coming from?" Aiden asked looking up at her confused.
She never sound so supportive, convicting, or even caring before.
"I'm, just worried about you. You seemed kind of pissed after hearing the Shaman lady reveal your feelings, and her talking about your father. What was that all about?" Victoria asked.
"About my father or what she said before that?" Aiden said raising an eyebrow.
"Let's not make my supportive pep talk awkward. And start with the first one." Victoria mused.
Aiden leaned back on his chair And sighed. "I never had a father. Or at least that what i use to think, if what the human CAT scan said was true. And if what my aunt and mom said was true….." He said while rubbing his forehead.
"What did they tell you?" Victoria asked patiently.
"They told me, J'son had a wife named Amelia." Aiden looked at her. "Did he, ever tell you anything about her?" He asked.
"He spoke very little about her. But i don't see why that's-" And then it hit her. "Wait. What are you saying?"
"Please. I want to hear it from you before i say anything." Aiden implored with a hint of grief in his voice.
Victoria thought for a second, and then spoke.
"Well…. aside from all of the passionate statements Jase would make, like she loved wearing the color red and her favorite flowers were blue orchids." Victoria said simply, which got Aiden's attention, his mother loved the same thing. "Jase had a picture of her on his bunk. He nearly lost it when the Ravagers attacked us, but i saved it right before we had to split."
Victoria stood up and took a folded picture from off the shelf and handed it to Aiden. He unfolded the picture and saw who was inside the picture.
Aiden felt as if he was about to puke for a second, from the instance shock he was feeling right now. His hand shook as he pulled out his phone and opened a picture on screen, of his mother.
Once Aiden held both the picture and the phone in front of his eyes, all doubt and denial he had about J'son was thrown out the window. Both pictures are different pictures of the same woman. His mother. It was all the prove that he needed to confirm.
That J'son of Spartax is Aiden Elsenov's father. His real father.
"Oh God." He whispered as a tear fell from his face.
Back On Corona…
Elsa and Anna were walking down the hall. After talking with Aiden an hour ago, it was clear to Elsa that she needed to find answers. Not just because she was curious, but because she owes it to Aiden to find the truth. Once they found J'son talking with King Mickey in the main hall down stairs. They heard them arguing with Donald and Goofy about a book Mickey was holding.
"Of course not Donald! I was watching TV on our ship." Goofy held his hands up in defense.
"Well I didn't do it! I barely even read books about teddy bears!" Donald yelled.
"Fellas! It doesn't matter who opened the book! We gotta find them before they- Queen Elsa!" Mickey jumped seeing her and her sisters on the stairs
"Oh ah….." Donald chuckled nervously. "We were just talking about, ah…..A book we read?"
"Come on she's obviously not going to fall for that Daffy." J'son deadpanned.
"It's Donald!" Donald glared.
"What's going on?" Anna inquired coming down with her sister.
"Uh….You haven't seen them have you?" J'son asked her.
"Seen what?" Elsa raised her eyebrow.
Whatever incident has happened, happened earlier. Mickey and gang were even surprised that Elsa and Anna haven't noticed by now. J'son shrugged and grabbed the book from Mickey and handed to the Queen.
"'Allow me to explain, basically this book is a living world of its own, and it was infected by the Unversed years ago. Victoria and i found it recently and until it can be fixed, Mickey here said not to open it." J'son spoke quickly. "Whoops! Somebody opened it."
Elsa looked down and read the book's title. It said 'Winnie The Pooh'. She wondered who that was.
"And now most of the folk who live in that world, came out of the book and are roaming around the castle now!" Goofy added.
"We got to find them and bring them back quickly! Otherwise they might summon more of the Unversed." Mickey implored them.
"Who are the Unversed?" Anna asked.
"Monsters that are summoned by negative emotions. They haven't had a opening in years!" Goofy quivered with Donald. "This might be it!"
"I just shot some of those suckers down earlier. But there will be more of them if we don't find all of the inhabitants in that book." J'son said spinning his laser gun.
"We can Help!" Anna chirped. "Just tell what they look like."
"No need, your about to meet one of them now." J'son quipped looking behind Elsa.
Boing! Boing! Boing!
"Ah!" Elsa yelped as she was knocked down by something bouncing her from behind. More like someone. She fell on the ground and grunted as she looked behind her back to see…. A stuffed animal? A Tiger doll in fact.
Both the royal sisters widened their eyes. "WHAT THE!?" They both screamed.
"Hello! I'm Tigger! T I Double Ga Er, that spells Tigger!" Tigger introduced himself on Elsa's back.
That's all for now folks!
Yep! Aiden now knows the truth of his father. How do you think he's going to take it? Will he till Elsa? Or more importantly, will they tell J'son?
And I know i used some reverence from the GOTG scene of Star Lord's father, But just to let you know. Aiden's father won't reveal himself to be a villain. I swear.
Oh and i bet you didn't expect the heartless or the unversed to be in this story huh?
"Well what would a Kingdom Hearts story be without those dark idiots?" Maverick quipped.
Also what would a Kingdom Hearts story be without Winnie The Pooh? Don't worry they are here to bring more than just honey. And as for what will happen next in Neverland and what is Aiden's beef with Peter Pan?
"You'll see." Maverick teased.
But to give you a preview. Despite the fact that the Guardians will enter on foot, there will be a space ship battle the next time we pick up on Aiden's progress in Neverland. As for how this happens, wait until the next chapter.
And as always Disney and Square Enix fans!
FISTBUMP!
