Me: Here comes chapter 13 and where things get REALLY interesting. :) Thanks for all of the reviews and I hope to reach up to 40 in this chapter.

Previous: Sora walked back to his room, but he gave Kairi one last look and a wink before heading back.
After seeing he was gone, Kairi screamed, "YES!"
She literally jumped for joy and Rainbow Dash caught her just in time before she floated down to the ground.
"You know Rainbow Dash, for once everything in my life has turned out right."
"SEIZE THEM!"
Betrayal
Kairi was disoriented when she was immediately forced off of Rainbow Dash and chained by the wrists. She looked up and saw that the Second Squad was pinning her down and saw Kyubimon chained up along with Rika but Angel was still not around so she wasn't tied up. Rainbow Dash attempted to help the girls out only to be force into an enchanted bridle by Hurricane Lee who also tied up her wings.
"Keep 'em still! No way are we letting assassins try to kill the Fairs!" Alpha Girl Latifah ordered after she dragged Rika to where Kairi was sitting and placed ropes around their mouths to keep them from screaming.
"Assassins?" Kairi thought confused until she heard a sinister voice and understood what was going on.
Azula said, "I believe you, and your friends have overstayed your welcome, Princess Ca-Ca." Azula must have tricked the guards to believe that Kairi and her friends we're going to hurt Sora and Grey. "Make sure they are never found."
With muffled yells from both tied up redheads, Latifah and Kowloon whacked them with some clubs. Quickly, the human girls were unconscious and fell down.

The Second Squad pushed the two teenagers with ease over a cliff that was surrounded by the ocean and watched as the girls were dragged down by the weights the Squad chained them up earlier.
The moment Kairi and Rika hit the bottom they quickly took notice of the lack of air and began to jerk restlessly to try and free themselves. Kairi then noticed the Thermos coming out of her pocket and thought of the idea to get Dani to save them. Both of the girls tried to move desperately over to where the Thermos landed, though it became difficult from the chains that got stuck on some rocks. In a matter of seconds, both redheads lost consciousness and fell to the floor.
As if it were a miracle, the Thermos moved from the unsettlement movement between the girls and landed on Kairi's hand that rubbed it due to the ocean currents and out of it came Dani covered in soapy suds.
"Geez, whenever I'm in the middle of a bath this always happens." The ghost-girl complained while she held onto a brush and rubber ducky.
Dani looked over to see her master and to her shock saw Kairi and Rika drowning!
Once she was in her normal get-up again, the genie swam over to the girls and yelled, "Kai, Rika! Wake up! Don't try to cheat me this time! For me to save you guys you have to make a wish, it's simple! Say 'Dani, I wish for you to save us'. Got it?"
Because of the circumstances, Kairi did not respond at all. While in hysterics, Dani grabbed the redhead and frantically shook her yelling, "Come on, Kai!"
Due to the continuous shaking, Kairi's head moved up and down. Dani then said, "I'll take that as a 'yes,'" She then transformed into a submarine with the words Red October painted on the side and grabbed the girls while screaming in a Sean Connery-like voice, "Up, scope! Rescuing redheaded girls operation; commencing NOW!"
Dani got the girls out of the water in the nick of time, and placed them gently on the cliff. The Second Squad was not there so they were safe. Instantly the girls regain consciousness and coughed out water and breathed again.
"Geez, Kai! Don't you ever scare me like that again." Dani exclaimed while still looking a bit distressed, "The same goes to you too, Rika."
Kairi looked up at the ghost-girl and with a weary smile, "Um…Dani, thanks. If it wasn't for you, Rika and I-"
"Hey," Dani interrupted, "Don't get all emotional on me. I have to admit you guys are pretty nice; so I might even call you friends."
The ghost-girl took their hands and Dani began to float before saying, "But expect me to pick out curtains for you or anything."
With that said, the trio headed back to Andalasia and to have a 'talk' with a certain royal advisor.

A little bit after Dani's rescue, back in a prince's bedroom, Sora was in said room while sharpening his Oathkeeper Keyblade, and humming a tune exactly like the song he and Kai-li sung earlier. It was safe to say that Sora was infatuated with the girl and vice versa, not only that but she was the girl from the Marketplace too. What a night!
Coming into the room, via doggy door, was Stitch who also had a lovesick look on his face and dreamingly sighed when he landed on his favorite pillow. Sora looked over and smirked, "I'm guessing someone had a good night too?"
With a dopy grin, the blue experiment nodded, "Ih, Angel's so nice. Meega have a Boojiboo now~."
Smiling, Sora added, "I think I have one too. And it's the same common girl I met. Turns out she dressed like that to leave her castle from time to time just like I did."
This surprised Stitch, not because the coincidence, but that Kairi had not told the truth yet. Angel had already told him and to keep it a secret but he thought that Kairi would have said something by then.
Sora looked at Stitch closely and curiously asked, "Is that frosting on your ear?"
Stitch looked up and noticed the remaining coconut cake frosting on it and blushed slightly, thinking that he thought that he cleaned it up.
With a small, amused grin Sora asked slyly, "Did you raid the kitchens again?"
Before the blue alien could answer a sound was heard.
"Sora," a voice spoke and both of the boys say it was Grey who was at the bedroom door and looked slightly zoned out but neither noticed.
"Grey, tonight's been so amazing." Sora said, "I never been so happy."
With her blank look, Grey said unemotionally, "You should be happy Sora, because I've found you a bride."
"What?" Sora asked confused. She could not have met up with Kai-li already.
"You will marry Azula." Grey announced apathetically while Azula pushed open the door Grey was near and smirked evilly with Buttercup on her shoulder and starring at the prince.
Sora gaped in total shock. Stitch looked uneasy too and growled slightly at the ex-Fire Nation Princess.
"You're speechless," Azula stated satisfied and clasping Sora's hands, "just what I prefer in a husband or any man in particular."
Disgusted, Sora shoved himself away and ran up to Grey, exclaiming, "What's happening Grey? I don't want Azula, I want to be with Kai-li!"
Smirking but feigning sadness Azula stated, "I'm afraid Princess Ca-Ca and her court had to leave."
"Better check your crystal if I were you, Azula." A voice spat angrily reveling to be Kairi with an unhappy Angel and tick off Rika who added, "And while you look at it be warned that in the future you're getting your butt kicked, how do I know? I'm gonna be the one to do it!"
"Kai-li!" Sora said happily and relief.
"What the hec-" Buttercup began but corrected herself by talking in her fake Valley Forge accent again, "I mean OMG! This is so totally like-Ah forget I hate talking like that anyways." The ex-superhero stated.
"Tell the truth Azula," Kairi yelled while walking straight up to Azula. "Tell everyone how you've tried to kill me and my friends."
"Meega Nala Queesta!" both of the alien experiments roared at the Fire Bender.
"Me? Your Highness, you must believe me. She is obviously lying." Azula lied while secretly shoving her staff to hypnotize the Sorcerer some more.
"Obviously lying." Grey echoed in her trance. Kairi quickly took notice of the glowing staff and saw the expression on the monarchy's face correctly guessing the real use of it. Kairi whispered something to Rika, who nodded in return and slowly walked behind the unsuspecting villain.
Shocked at what his sister just said Sora pleaded and asked, "Grey, what in the world's wrong with you?"
With a hand signal from Kairi, Rika grabbed Azula and the younger redhead took the staff and smashed it to the ground, shattering the orb. As if by magic, Grey got out of her daze and blinked while mumbling, "Eh? Where am I? What in the world happen…" she trailed off still recovering.
While holding what was left of the staff Kairi said straightforwardly, "Grey, Azula was controlling you with this."
Grey looked at the staff with shock and gasped, "Huh-WHAT!"
Sora looked at his sister's hand and asked, "Grey what's that red liquid on your hand? It's not-"
"No it's not blood…" she sniffed it and made a face. "It's Wizards bane; a potion that can weaken a Sorcerer's awareness on their magic and magic that surrounds them and…" Grey slight shock that turned into confusion was now great anger, as she turned flabbergasted at Azula.
"You!" she pointed angrily at the advisor, "You used Wizards bane on me and controlled me to do who knows what with that staff of yours!"
"Grey," Sora looked at her with eyes filled with hatred towards Azula, "I think she also killed our parents. I just remembered seeing her put a powder into the soups that the healers made for them when they were sick that time ago."
Grey thought for a moment over this and was more upset. She along with Sora, Kairi and the others walked up to Azula while she tried to back away.
"You traitor! Not only did you manipulate me but you even went as far as killing mine and Sora's parents, you've betrayed us all, Azula." Grey said with mush venom in her voice.
"Guards, guards! Come here at once and arrest this threat to the Kingdom!" the Sorcerer ordered.
"Now Your Highness, I think you're not thinking rationally," Azula nervously spoke while trying to sound innocent.
"Well Azula, it was nice knowin' ya." Buttercup said with a shrug. It was no use, no one believed the traitors anymore.
Just as Azula thought it was the end and resistance was futile, she noticed a silver glint in Kai-li's pocket and saw the Thermos! The princess was really that street mouse. Azula grinned and prepared to grab it but was stopped by the guards that came in to take her away.
"Have her thrown in the dungeon until my brother and I decide on a proper punishment for her." Grey ordered.
Taking a vial out of her sleeve, Azula spoke threateningly at Kairi, "This isn't over, princess!"
Azula dropped the vial and instantly, smoke appeared and completely shrouded the ex-Fire Nation Princess and her accomplice. When the smoke cleared, the guards were wrestling each other thinking the other person they were fighting was Azula.
Rubbing her eyes in shock, Grey said, "Where'd they go? After them, search everywhere until they're found!"
Both of the guards obeyed and hurried off to find the villains.
"Sora, are you okay?" Kairi asked him nervously, she was afraid Azula might have harmed Sora.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Sora answered in relief.
The couple looked at each other dreamingly and leaned in to kiss but Grey unknowingly got between them as she stormed around upset.
"I can't believe this!" Grey yelled, "All this time Azula was playing with me and plotted to get rid of the whole family. *Sigh* I'm such a fool to think-" she stopped mid sentence when she noticed how close Sora and Princess Kai-li were smiling at each other.
With widen eyes and a growing smile, the Sorcerer asked, "Am I really seeing what I think I'm seeing? Sora, have you finally found a bride?"
Sora looked at Kai-li and back at Grey and nodded eagerly.
With a cry of joy, Grey exclaimed happily, "Oh this is the best news all night! Princess Kai-li you're wonderful!" she hugged both the younger teens and even pinched Kairi's cheeks, "I could kiss you! On second thought I should leave that for my brother. Ha-ha!"
"That would be weird," Rika mused while watching the hold event, taking place at the moment.
Grey laughed sheepishly at what the ex-Digimon Tamer said but then declared, "Well we must announce the engagement tomorrow. How convenient it's on Sora's 15th Birthday. Anyways when you both reach your eighteenth birthdays, you shall get married and become King and Queen of Andalasia!"
Kairi was taken back by this while she was in an embrace with Sora.
"Queen?" she asked surprised.
Grey nodded, "Of course, I have never been so sure of something else in my life. You are a promising young lady with an honest heart and remarkable character, that's what makes a queen that this land needs."
Kairi and her friends looked worried and knew that the lie they would only last for who knows long.

Azula and Buttercup reached their lair with no one following them, to their luck and Buttercup began to fly around franticly.
"We got to get out of here, time for us to move out!" the ex-superhero exclaimed panicking, while she flew to her bed and began packing some objects into a suitcase.
"We'll need to travel light! Only important stuff; weapons, poison daggers, more daggers, axes, game boards for long trips, etc."
Buttercup then took out a picture and looks at it baffled, "You think I should take this picture? I think I made a funny face in it." She made her face to match her face in the picture, which did look like a funny face, but while she did that Azula was in deep, uncontrollable laughter.
She was laughing so hard and hitting her hand onto the wall that Buttercup rolled her eyes and overdramatically said, "Great, Azula's finally lost it; she's cracked."
Buttercup flew over to the deranged Fire Bender and started knocking her head, "Hey Azula. Earth to Azula!"
The ex-superhero even took clumps of Azula's hair while yelling, "Hey Azula! Get a grip! Are you even in-Eeep"
The 'Eeep' was made when Azula ceased her laughing and grabbed Buttercup by her throat that she then gasped, "Nice grip."
"That princess is really Kairi." Azula said wrathfully.
In utter shock, Buttercup exclaimed, "What?"
"She has the Thermos," Azula explained, "That why she and those friends of her are still alive. But not for long! I will have the genie's control if it's the last thing I do."
The now former advisor glanced at Buttercup and spoke, "And you're going to help me get it!"
More confused then before the younger girl asked, "How?"
The Fire Bender smirked and whispered her new plan to Buttercup's ear.
XXXX-Author's Note-XXXX
Me: (Inserting dramatic music) Well sorry there wasn't any singing in the chappy but there be some in the next one done by a certain villain we all know and hate.
Azula: That's right, I'll be taking center stage. My time to rule will come; I shall defeat my adversary and-
Ebony: Blah-blah-BLAH! That's what I'm hearing from you. I'm really surprised how people even like you. You're heartless, like your father for no apparent reason, and then you get all psychotic at the end of the TV show you were in and-
Azula: (enraged) SHUT-UP!
(Big battle between Fire Bender and Square Enix Guardian now)
