Hello everyone. Here's another chapter. In this chapter, It is mostly talking about Cecelia, the four subordinates, and I'm finally introducing Lavendra. Enjoy.

Underground Lair. Somewhere in Alaska

Cecelia was in her chambers, talking to a goblet that was glowing green fumes.

"Everything's going according to plan, Aunt Lavendra." Cecelia said.

"Excellent, the door to Kingdom Wolves will finally be open." said the goblet.

"Yes, great, great, great aunt Lavendra." Cecelia said.

"Haven't I told you to call me Aunt Lavendra." the goblet said. "All those 'greats' make me sound old."

Cecelia laughed.

"Well, it's because you're my great, great, great, aunt." She said. "So technically, you are old."

Lavendra wanted to say something, but she let it go…for now.

"Has Dmitri retrieved the third ice crystal yet? She asked.

"I don't know." Cecelia said. "He hasn't reported yet."

"That's not like him." Lavendra said. "Could Dmitri have a problem, retrieving it?"

"I wouldn't worry." Cecelia said. "Dmitri can handle a few messily wolves. I'm pretty sure he's just having fun with them."

There was knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Cecelia ordered.

"It is I, Neon."

"What do you want?" Cecelia asked.

"I have something very important to say, that concerns both you're majesties."

"Come in then." Lavendra ordered.

Neon opens the door and walks in. He took a bow at them both.

"Your Majesties, I'm afraid I have some bad news." Neon said.

"What is it?" Cecelia asked.

"Dmitri has been annulated." Neon said.

Cecelia's eyebrows rose. The green fumes in the goblet of Lavendra erupted.

"How?" They both shouted.

"By…the son of the Wolfblade Master, that destroyed your body, Queen Lavendra." Neon said.

The goblet ruptured even more fumes.

"Mooneye!" Lavendra shouted. "I guess he doesn't take the message of his father being killed, very lightly. But how did he? Dmitri could've taken him down easily."

"Well…he didn't take Dmitri down, alone." Neon said.

Cecelia looked at him. A vain could be seen on her forehead.

"You mean…Sora token Dmitri down as well?" She asked.

Neon nodded.

"With the help of that mutt Balto." He said.

"How could a mutt help take down Dmitri?" Cecelia said with rage.

"By powering up Mooneye's Wolfblade, is that right, Neon?" Lavendra asked.

"Yes, you're Majesty." Neon said.

Cecelia looked at the goblet of her aunt.

"How?" she asked.

"The Wolfblade gets its power by wolves." Lavendra said. "The howl of a wolf can make it more powerful, purebred or half-breed."

Cecelia looks at Neon.

"There's one thing I don't get." She said. "How did Sora know where Dmitri was?"

Neon gave nervous look. Cecelia glared at him.

"Do you mean he also knows about the ice crystals?" She shouted in rage.

Neon simply nodded. Sweat was all over his face.

"How?"

"Well…Sora followed the mutt and a couple of other animals to an older wolf." Neon said. "The older wolf told him everything. Your plan, Queen Lavendra, and about the ice crystals."

Cecelia got closer to Neon.

"And you knew all about this." She said. "Then why didn't you stop him!"

Neon got down to his knees.

"You're Majesty, please!" He begged. "If I knew Sora was going to know all this, I would've stopped him."

Cecelia was filled with rage.

"I really HATE people who don't do anything to take care of an enemy when they know something!" She shouted. "I have no use of those people, ESPECIALLY YOU!"

Cecelia brought out two green swords, she was about to strike Neon.

"NO! WAIT!" Neon begged with sweat all over his face. "I've managed to learn something from the older wolf. Apparently, the ice crystals aren't enough to open Kingdom Wolves. We need a sacred wolf to activate them."

Cecelia lowered her swords.

"A scared wolf?" She said.

"Yes. But he needs to do it only on his own free will." Neon said.

"A scared wolf…" Lavendra said.

"Do you know anything, Aunt Lavendra?" Cecelia asked, looking at the goblet.

"Oh…no…I don't." Lavendra said. "So, where is the Keyblade Master heading?"

"Well, he has three of the ice crystals." Neon said. "The last one is across the sea. The Keyblade Master and his animal companions are heading there."

"All right," Lavendra said. "For giving us the new information, your life will be spared."

"Oh thank you, you're Majesty." Neon said, bowing to the goblet. "Thank you."

"Now, go and get the subordinates." Lavendra said.

"Of course." Neon said quickly.

He got up, bowed at Cecelia, and left. Neon came back in minuet later with Asza, Bolder, and Kie.

"You wanted to speak with us, you're Majesties?" Asza asked.

"Yes. It appears that my darling niece didn't know one very important thing." Lavendra said. "Not only that we're supposed to retrieve the ice crystals from the wolf packs, but we're gonna need a sacred wolf to activate the ice crystals to open Kingdom Wolves."

All three stared at the goblet, surprised.

"So…what are your orders, you're Majesty?" Kie asked.

"Well, the future Keyblade Master now knows of our plan." Lavendra continued. "He is now going to cross the sea to retrieve the last ice crystal."

Bolder walked up to the goblet and bowed to it.

"You're Majesty, on your orders, I'll be more then happy to retrieve the ice crystals and search for the sacred wolf." He said.

"No." Lavendra said. "I want Asza to go and retrieve those valuables."

Bolder looked shocked. Asza bowed at the goblet.

"As you wish, you're Majesty." She said.

"Before you leave, Asza, try to be sure who's the sacred wolf before you retrieve the ice crystals from the Keyblade Master." Lavendra said.

"Of course, you're Majesty." Asza said.

She made one more bow and disappeared.

"You three can go now." Lavendra said to Neon, Bolder, and Kie.

All three bowed and left. Bolder could be heard grumbling angrily to himself as he left. Cecelia looked at the goblet.

"But Aunt Lavendra, if the sacred wolf can only activate the ice crystals on his own free will." She said. "How can we make him do it?"

"Oh, don't worry yourself, my dear niece." Lavendra said. "I have ways of doing things."

Boris, Muk, and Luk were waiting anxiously for Sora, Balto, and Kavik to return. Boris was getting inpatient.

"What's keeping them?" He said. "I knew I should've gone with them."

"Oh, don't worry, Uncle Boris." Luk said. "I'm pretty sure their okay. I bet their beating up hundreds of those dark monsters."

Muk was mumbling like crazy.

"What is he saying?" Boris asked Luk.

"He says Sora, Balto, and Kavik are coming!" Luk said excitedly.

And indeed they were. Boris could see Sora, Balto, and Kavik coming.

"Balto!" He shouted.

Then him, Muk, and Luk ran towards them. Boris jumped on Balto. Muk and Luk jumped on Sora and Kavik.

"What took you guys so long?" Boris asked.

"We just took down a human that uses ice as a weapon." Balto said.

"And we also met someone that helped us too." Sora said.

Muk and Luk were amazed.

"Well, tell us everything." Luk said.

"Not right now." Sora said. "It's getting dark and I'm exhausted from that big battle. I just want to find a place to sleep."

Muk and Luk looked disappointed.

"Don't worry guys." Balto said. "We'll explain everything tomorrow."

"Right now, let's look for a cave." Kavik said, yawning.

End of chapter. In the next chapter, Balto finally explains about his dreams. But before that, he's going to tell Sora about his daughter, Alue. Please review.
