Chapter XVII: Deja Vu in Disney Castle

Nightshroud: .
"Wait, this is Disney Castle!" said Tyson. The three looked around and found that they had come out of the door leading to the gummi hangar. They looked back through the door, and could still see the castle through it. It looked like they had come in the middle of the night, though.

"What's going on here?" asked Namé.

"I'm not sure, but let's keep going and we might just find some answers," said Tyson.

As they stepped away, the door suddenly close and disappeared. At the same time Shadow and Soldier Heartless appeared.

"The Heartless!" said Fayt. They pulled out their weapons and fought through the Heartless. They quickly went through the door and up the stairs till they reached the hallway.

"Reyna!" Tyson called. She looked at them, then slashed through a Heartless.

"Hey, you guys!"

They ran over and the four easily defeated the Heartless. Tyson turned to Reyna and crossed his arms.

"What's with running of without us? We were worried!"

"I'm sorry. I just felt...led to."

The others looked at each other. "I guess this just comes with being the Angel of Heart," said Fayt with a shrug.

"Well, any idea what's going on?" asked Tyson.

"Well, I don't think we're actually in Disney Castle. It's more like the manifestation of the world's heart, and we are supposed to defeat to defeat the embodiment of darkness in it."

"So where do you think it is?" Namé asked.

"Well, the throne room would be my guest," said Reyna. They opened the doors when a Guard Rodent dropped from the ceiling.

"I'm guessing this is this world's darkness," said Fayt.

The Guard Rodent shot one of its arms at Tyson, who jumped on it, then jumped off and swiped at its head. It stumbled back, and Namé used Spell Impact to crack its leg, causing it to fall over. Fayt used his Earth Glaive symbol to send off giant rock spikes that ripped through the Guard Rodent. It pulled itself up and swiped at the two guys, knocking them away. Reyna jumped up and struck at it with her whip. She knocked it back, then jumped and blasted it point blank.

"Pearl!"

The ball of light exploded into the Guard Rodent, and it toppled to the ground in pieces before vanishing in a flash of light. Reyna, thrown back by the blast, landed on Tyson and knocked him to the ground.

"You're crazy," he said with a laugh.

"I know," she said with a grin. They helped her up, and the throne suddenly slid to the side. They walked down the stairs and into the Hall of the Cornerstone. They saw a door standing in midair. They opened it and walked through, and found themselves back in the castle.

"So, Renkotsu, what's going on?" asked the man sitting on the sofa.

Renkotsu, who had his arms crossed, staring up at the ceiling, said, "It appears that Angel of Heart and her companions have entered the castle. And my dear little brother didn't even have the courtesy to tell us."

"Feh, figures. How just like him."

Renkotsu smiled. "Well, it doesn't really matter. We can make plans without him. In the meantime, did Dr. Veinslay agree to join us?"

"With please," said the man with a smile.

"Excellent work, Sommelier. Leave the rest to me."

"We're back," said Namé. They walked down the hall towards the next door when a figure came into view.

"No way..."

Guard Rodent-

Large Heartless similar to the Guard Armor summoned by Kelnoto fight Reyna and Mickey's group. Represents the embodiment of darkness in Disney Castle's heart.

Nightshroud: Cliffie hahaha! Another one too. Wow, I'm getting very evil. Anyway, I'll give a little hint. The person at the end is the same person that was with Vanessa last chapter. Hmm, can you figure it out? Oh, and Renkotsu is my other crossover, so look him up if you want to know what he looks like. K, review and move on!
