In a world called United Camelot a muscular man with red hair is sitting on a cliff overlooking a kingdom. If you would look at him you'd see that he is evil hands down.
"You are wanting to take over this world," says a creepy voice as black and green fire appears beside the man. "I can help." Then the fire fades as Maleficent appears.
"How?" snarls the man.
"With this," answers Maleficent giving two vials of green liquid to the man. "This liquid will make anyone fuse with a weapon that they touch. All I want in return is a sample of the powers in Excalibur."
"How are you going to do that?" asks the man.
"Once you have Excalibur in your hands meet me between Camelot and The Forbidden Forest on your way to begin your conquest," says Maleficent. "And I will show you how I plan on it."
Princess Hi, Igneous and Leopan are teleported by Merlin onto the ramparts of a castle. The keybladers are wearing their cloaks with the hoods up and hiding everything but their faces. It is day time and there are people running to one end of the wall.
"The Excalibur has been stolen!" they are shouting.
"Go, find a creature carrying a sword and follow it," urges Merlin as Princess Hi and her team speeds off on their keyblade glider with Princess Hi making the world cloak them from all eyes. In no time at all they see a creature that's half lion and half eagle with a sword in the front talons.
"Hey you two," sighs Princess Hi as they get closer to the creature. "As long as the mission goes, until I've sealed the keyhole, we should hide my identity. As long as we're on this mission just call me Himoxie."
"Yes ma'am," replies both Igneous and Leopan.
"And I'll be just Leopan," says Leopan. Suddenly something flies out of the forest below and attacks the creature. The attack made the creature drop the sword into a giant forest of thorns. What ever it was that attacked the beast slows down and starts flying in circles. The thing that attacked the beast is a falcon with silver tipped wings. The creature tries to dive after the sword, but it looks like the thorns has arms. Because thorny arms reaches out and tries to grab the beast. They almost did, but it manages to get away in the end.
"Quick, let's see if that creature will lead us to it's master," exclaims Princess Hi. After a while they spot what looks like a small farm ahead, but this one has a group of what looks like men with weapons instead of arms dancing around a well spewing green smoke. The only man that looks human is a red headed muscular man with black armor. The only people that fit into the farm life is a woman that looks like she could be the group of guys' prisoner, and a teen girl sneaking around the rock formations around the place.
"Quick, follow me," says Princess Hi. They fly ahead of the creature and hides under a rock formation that looks like a bridge. Princess Hi takes the cloak off them. When the girl is close enough and the creature is coming down for a landing Leopan grabs the girl. Princess Hi covers the girl's mouth and put a finger to her own lips to signal for the girl to be quiet. Once the creature lands princess Hi, the girl and Princess Hi's team peaks out and listens to the red headed man talk to the beast. Amazingly the creature can speak too.
"Ahh, my magnificent beast has stolen Excalibur," says the man.
"Precisely," says the creature.
"Terror spreads all across the land," says the man.
"Precisely," says the creature.
"And with Excalibur in my hands everything will be mine!" says the man. This is when the creature turns it's head away from the redhead.
"This is where we enter a gray area," says the creature. This made the red head mad.
"Excuse me," says the man grabbing the creature's beak to turn it's head toward him. "You, LOST Excalibur!"
"I didn't loose it," retorts the creature. "I was attacked by a falcon."
"What, my magnificent beast outmatched by a puny pidgin," the man says holding his fingers an inch apart.
"It wasn't a pidgin it was a falcon," the creature corrected. "With silver wings."
"Silver wings, oh how scary," says the man before he pulls the creature's head down by the ear. "Useless animal! Where is the sword, now?"
"In a place of untold danger," answers the creature.
"The Forbidden Forest," exclaims the man.
"Precisely," confirms the creature. That's all Princess Hi and her group heard, because then the girl takes off and Princess Hi and her teammates follows. The girl grabs the horse that was in a pent up area and jumps on it's back. Princess Hi and the other keybladers summons their gliders and follows. Soon they hear footsteps behind them. When the keybladers looks over their shoulders they see some of those men that has weapons for arms chasing them on boars. The one with arrows for his arms is shooting the arrows at them. The keybladers uses Reflect to bounce the arrows away and they send magic bullets to the ground in front of the oncoming men. The other guy has chain mace for arms, he's just swinging them around. They head to The Forbidden Forest. At the entrance the horse the girl is riding reared up and the girl tumbles off while it races off in a different direction. The girl keeps running on foot. The keybladers dismisses their gliders and carries on on foot. Once the boars the men were riding on get to the edge they freak out too, but the men continues even on foot.
After running for a pretty long time the girl and the keybladers falls off a ledge and into a lake. They try to run on but the girl gets tangled in a net, which gets cut by one of the keybladers while the rest are on guard. A few seconds later they hear someone coming out from behind the trees.
"Hey that's my fish pond!" calls the man that steps out of the trees carrying a walking stick, Princess Hi notices the same falcon that attacked the creature following him. Suddenly the men that was chasing them falls over the ledge too. The falcon quickly flies around them squawking up a storm as the men with weapons for hands advances on the man with the walking stick. With a duck the man with the stick dodges one of the other men's punch, which ends up hitting the other guy's face. With a swing of the stick one of the freaky men is sent into a rock, that looks like it opens its mouth to swallow him. The falcon grasps a vine behind the man with the stick with its talons, still squawking, and flies away when the man tugs it with the stick. Suddenly a log tied to the other end of the vine swings into the last freaky guy sending him into a whirlpool and sucked underwater.
"Wow, that was amazing," says the girl, while the man only picks up the net and feels it without looking at it and muttering about the holes from the keyblade. "Hey look at me when I talk to you!" Princess Hi put her hand on the girl's shoulder.
"Miss, he's blind," exclaims Princess Hi. The girl looks carefully at the man.
"Yeah, now I see it," says the girl.
"Really?" asks the man sarcastically. "I haven't noticed." Just then the falcon swoops in and lands on the man's out stretched arm. When the falcon folds in it's wings the girl and the three keybladers got a glimpse of it's silver tipped wings.
"Hey, your bird has silver wings," says the girl.
"That means it can help us look for the stolen sword," exclaims Igneous.
"You mean Excalibur," corrects Leopan.
"Ok, we're going," says the man after listening to the falcon talk for a while. Then he starts to walk.
"Alright then," exclaims the girl and the keybladers following the man.
"Not you," says the man. "Me and Aiyden. We work alone."
"Well I don't see a reason why I can't come too," says the girl.
"Well we are coming too," declares Princess Hi. "We are keybladers. We protect the balance of good and evil in all worlds."
"And I need to find Excalibur to save my mom," says the girl. "Ruber has taken her hostage and the only thing that can save her is if we get Excalibur back."
"All right, all right," says the man. "You four can come. Keep close though, you don't know what dangers there are."
"Like those stepping stones jerking up to throw people into the river," exclaims Princess Hi with her eyes glowing gold pointing to the stepping stones ahead. When the man stepped across they suddenly rise up.
"You're good," comments the man. "How did you know that?"
"It's my ability to know about any world I'm on," answers Princess Hi. "And now that that matter is settled I think now is a perfect time for introductions, my name's Himoxie. These are my colleges, Igneous and Lord Leopan."
"I'm Kayley," introduces the girl.
"Garrett," says the man bluntly pointing to himself.
As they walk Garrett tells them that Ayden, the falcon, found him when he came to the forest to stay. Princess Hi asked why he came to such a place and he said that the only person who still believed in him after he lost his sight died. Garrett goes on to say that Ayden had taught him all he needs to know about the forest, even being his eyes. Princess Hi points out that in the battle Ayden was doing that. Garrett even shows the group a new technique using a plant that when you tap on the bulb it opens and tries to hit you with it's stamen. First step is to get into position, second is to wait till the last possible momment then dodge the attack and hit in one swift movement. The keybladers practices this with their keyblades a few times before continuing the long walk.
When they reach an area that has no plants and is pretty hot with giant broken egg shells Garrett tells the others to be quiet.
"Why?" asks Kayley.
"We've entered Dragon Country," answers Garrett.
"Well there should be a sign," says Kayley. "A sign that says 'Welcome to Dragon Country' or 'This is Dragon Country'" She goes on talking about possible signs for Dragon Counry and Garrett keeps telling her to be quiet. That is until Leopan covers Kayley's mouth with his hand, but it was too late. A momment later they hear a roar a fair distance away above them. The five of the people in the group scatters to find a hiding spot. The two girls jump into an egg shell with a piece hanging over the top, the two keyblade men crouches behind an unbroken egg and Garrett is crouched behind a boulder.
"Hey, find your own hiding place!" shouts a voice from the egg shell the girls jumped into.
"Yeah, so get out of this one!" shouts another from the same place.
"We're so sorry," apologizes Princess Hi as she and the others sept out from their hiding places. "We were just hiding from a dragon."
"We understand completely," says the second voice as the source of the two voices climbs out. To the amazement of everyone else there the voices belong to a two headed dragon. The first one who spoke was the head on a stub of a neck, the second one was the head on a much longer neck.
"Oh, excuse me where are my manners," says the head with the long neck as it bows down to the women as the men approaches. "My name is Devan, and this growth on my neck is Cornwall."
"You can call me Connie for short," says the head with the stubby neck as it gives each of the ladies a kiss on the hand.
"Yeah, short on wit, charm and brains," says Devan. "Everything I have." With that Connie uses one of their hands to plug both of Devan's nose nostrils and hold his mouth closed.
"How about holding your breath," says Connie.
"Guys, guys, guys!" calls Igneous getting the two headed dragon's attention. "It was nice meeting you, but we have to go." The group starts to leave.
"Hey, where are you going?" asks Connie as they use both feet to try to follow them.
"To save Camelot!" calls Kayley.
"And possibly the world!" adds Leopan.
"Oh I would love to see Camelot," says Devan. "Can we come along?"
"No!" shouts Garrett. Princess Hi opens her mouth to argue, but before she could say anything a roar sounded from behind them. The same dragon that was chasing them before or a different one is coming.
"RUN!" screams both Devan and Connie. The group and the two headed dragon bolts through a path. A little aways they see the red headed man ahead of a group of the guys fused with weapons.
"Get them!" commands the red head. The men charges.
"Down here!" calls Devan jumping down a tunnel. The others follows them. The keybladers were the last ones to jump since they are busy making sure everyone gets down safely.
Once they've landed they stop to catch their breath. The keybladers put their keyblades away.
"Those meanies," says Connie. "Always picking on us."
"Then why don't you fight back?" asks Princess Hi as they continue walking through the tunnels. "Show them you're tough."
"As much as we want to, we can't," answers Connie. "We can't fly."
"Or even blow as little as smoke," adds Devan.
"Yeah," sighs Connie. "He's really holding me back."
"I'm holding you back!" fumes Devan. "Why if I didn't have you I'd be a famous actor in Camelot."
"Well if I didn't have you I'd be a ladies man," retorts Connie. They keep going back and forth naming the things they could do if they were separate dragons (think of the song they sang in the movie but not in a sing-song way). Princess Hi succeeds in getting them to stop fighting by using a spell she created for the sole purpose of stopping fights. It's a weak version of the Thunder spell, Spark. It's not very strong but stops fights in a snap.
"Guys, if you stop fighting then maybe you could have helped each other learn to breath fire and fly," states Princess Hi.
"Actually, I understand that your fighting," replies Leopan with a grin. "My dad couldn't find a lover so he adopted me. When I passed The Keyblade Inheritance Test he got an idea to travel the universe and find other orphans that will be perfect as a keyblade warriors, take them to the other keyblade masters and have them take the Keyblade Inheritance test. He will adopt the ones that passes too. If they fail the test or he sees that they'll abuse the power of the keyblade he'll not give the test to them. He'll take them and finds them a home somewhere else in the universe. So I have lots of siblings, and we fight some of the time."
"I'm an only child too," says Igneous. "But my parents owns the school where people who can summon their keyblade goes to learn about its power. So it's like I have a big family."
"I'm a little envious," states Princess Hi. "My father is the strongest keyblader since the creation of the universe. He made a lot of friends on his travels, and enemies. On the big part of his adventures were to defeat the greatest evil man ever his power had awakened to its fullest strength. After the evil man was defeated the issue of my father marrying my mother came up. He said he's worried that his enemies will come after his new family, and if his power was to pass onto his children it will make them come after the children even more. The people of my birth world, my mom and his best friend was the ones that convinced him to do it. He agreed if he will have only one child. That one child was me. In order for me to not be lonely all the time they made sure that I am surrounded by friends." Finally they reach the end of the tunnels and outside Dragon Country.
"Alright we made it out," exclaims Kayley.
"And this is where we part," adds Devan turning away from the group.
"Where are you going?" asks Princess Hi. "We were having a great time together."
"Anywhere but back," answers Connie. "We just broke the number one dragon rule: don't help humans."
"Then come with us," says Princess Hi. "Until we find somewhere that you're happy to live in."
"No they may not!" yells Garrett.
"Yes they are!" yells back Princess Hi. "I see nothing wrong with them coming with us and we need all the help we can get when we face that guy, Ruber, in a the final fight! You are a boy who is afraid of what people thinks of you, but that does not mean that you can act so heartless to someone who sacrificed everything to help us! I'm the leader of this expedition because I am strong, wise and I have a heart and I say they're coming with us!"
"Well I don't like being told what to do!" yells Garrett.
"Well tough!" responds Princess Hi summoning her keyblade. "It's either you let them join or fight me for leadership!"
"If that's what it takes then fine," says Garrett getting into a battle stance with his walking stick. "Aiyden, come here!"
"Uh, Garrett, you might want to reconsider fighting her," states Leopan as Aiyden is circling the battle space.
"I'll not back down from this fight," responds Garrett. They both charge at each other. Garrett trips Princess Hi and tries to assault her back with his stick, but it bounces off of her Reflect Dome hitting himself in the face. Princess Hi takes advantage of his shock from the hit to cast Aero on him. The wind picks him up and does damage as he hangs helplessly in the air. Princess Hi also gets in there and starts hitting him, doing more damage. Princess Hi stops her assault when the Aero spell wore off. Princess Hi points her keyblade at Garrett's throat.
"I win," Princess Hi states bluntly.
"That was amazing," says Kayley, Devan and Connie.
"Thank you, but it was nothing," replies Princess Hi as she pours a potion on Garrett to heal his wounds. "My story goes on to say that I showed signs of greatness even as a baby. You see, the day after my birth I spoke my first word. Thus people thought I was special like my father. So I had to work hard to get them to stop pestering me."
"And it pays off," comments Garrett with a grin. "But in a real battle you shouldn't heal your opponent."
"I know," responds Princess Hi. "But you are a teammate even though I was trying to teach you a lesson." They continue walking until nightfall.
"Let's start making camp now," offers Princess Hi. The rest of the group agrees. While the two headed dragon is trying to build a camp fire Garrett and Kayley talks in one area and the keybladers are having a meeting about their plans.
"Ok, I don't know when we are going to have our showdown with Ruber and his men," says Princess Hi after calling out the two Copy Stars. "But I've asked Mickey to make these. Copy Stars I want you to become Shield Stars." After the stars changed shapes and color she hands Leopan and Igneous each a copy of Shield Star.
"These will fly all around you and create a shield out of energy," explains Princess Hi. "It will protect you from any kind of attack." Pretty soon Devan and Connie starts yelling about each other's skill with lighting a fire. Igneous uses Fire to set the sticks on fire and stop the fighting.
Early the next morning the group continues the search for Excalibur. The sun was beginning to set when they've reached the forest of thorns the Griffin was flying over when he dropped the sword, but the sword isn't there. They only find the belt that held it on the ground.
"Oh great, here's the belt but no sword," exclaims Kayley. "Now we'll never be able to save my mom and-" She stops because Princess Hi put her hand over Kayley's mouth.
"No worries," assures Princess Hi. "I'll use my powers to track the sword down." She she talks to the thorns and also stands still while her eyes turn gold. When her eyes turned back to their original colors she looks towards the group.
"A troll took the sword," exclaims Princess Hi. "The troll lives in a mountain on the edge of the forest south of here. We should go now because Ruber and some of his men will be here any minute." So they move off as fast as possible. They got away with only Garrett getting grazed with an arrow and trapping Ruber under a 'hand'. When they got far enough away that the thorny forest is out of sight they slow their pace. It is at this point that Kayley notices Garrett's wound.
"Garrett, you're hurt," gasps Kayley.
"Oh yeah," breaths Garrett as he catches his breath. "Himoxie pushed me out of the way of an arrow while we were running. Resulting in it only grazing me. I am sure that Himoxie can use more of that stuff she used after our fight."
"Actually I think it's best if we use those healing herbs," says Princess Hi pointing to a plant with big leaves. "We should save as much as possible for when we face Ruber for the final time. A guy like him wont go down without a fight. Besides I banged you up a lot there, and there wasn't any healing herbs nearby."
"There's a cave where we could sleep for the night," exclaimed Igneous pointing to the cave he was talking about.
"Well let's go in before it begins to rain too much," says Leopan feeling the first raindrops. They run into the cave just as the rain became too hard to see the trail. Kayley immediately puts one of the big leaves from the healing plant Princess Hi pointed out. Princess Hi uses a scarf she brought in the magic backpack to hold the leaf in place. When Garrett helps Kayley hold the leaf in place their fingers touches. Only the keybladers notices the slight blush the two had when they relies the touch. They sleep in the cave for the night.
The next morning they continue the walk to the troll's mountain.
It isn't until a few miles they start hearing giant footfalls. It is misty, so they couldn't see much.
"What was that?" asks Kayley.
"That would be the troll," answers Devan. "We'll be turning back now."
"What's so scary about trolls?" asks Kayley. Just then Princess Hi sees something big falling. Her powers tells her where it will land. So she jerks Kayley and Garrett back before a huge skeleton falls on them.
"Their appetite," says Deven. It wasn't long before a giant foot comes down on the skeleton and smashes the bones into pieces. As they watch the pair of giant legs walking away something drops from above. Kayley is the one to pick it up.
"It's the scabbard," exclaims Kayley. "He has the sword." They follow the pair of legs into a cave. When they've got to a cavern they see what looks like a mix of a giant man and a pile of rocks.
"What's he doing?" asks Garrett.
"He's using the sword to pick his teeth," answers Leopan. Indeed all but Garrett sees the troll using the sword as a toothpick.
"We wait for him to fall asleep before we get the sword," says Garrett. The others agrees to this. It is only a few minutes before the troll lies down and falls asleep. Princess Hi runs further into the cavern. She activates her keyblade glider and flies around the troll while she is using her powers to help find the sword. The sword just came into sight when she notices a group of people coming towards them through the same tunnel they did. She quickly scans the cave for a quick way out.
"Quick you guys," she quietly calls to the rest of the group. "Go through the tunnel to your left. Ruber is coming." Just when the rest of the group enters the tunnel Princess Hi pointed out and Princess Hi is next to the sword they hear the shout of Ruber.
"Get that sword!" shouts Ruber as he and his men came in. Princess Hi quickly grabs Excalibur and flies off at top speed following the rest of the group. When they reach the exit they find that they are on a cliff that declines like a slide. Kayley, Garrett, Devan and Connie slides down while the other two keybladers activates their keyblade gliders and flies down with Princess Hi with them. They make their escape through the forest. They slow down after a good ways into the forest. They walk until they reach the end of a forest. From there the keybladers sees a castle on top of a hill.
"Well I'm heading back into the forest," sighs Garrett turning and walking back with Aiyden flying behind.
"Wait-" says Kayley before Princess Hi puts a hand on her shoulder before she could follow Garrett.
"Kayley, save your breath," exclaims Princess Hi with her eyes glowing again. "He's afraid to set foot in Camelot, but don't worry. I'll deal with this after we defeat Ruber." They walk out of the forest and headed to the road, but something heavy falls over the keybladers and something grabs Kayley. Princess Hi drops Excalibur when raising her arms to shield herself. Devan and Connie got so spooked they make a beeline back into the forest. What fell onto the keybladers are nets with a bit of sparkle to it and weights tied to the bottom. What grabbed Kayley was one of Ruber's men. The keybladers tries to summon their keyblades, but all that happens are flashes of light then nothing.
"Save your energy keyblade wielders," laughs Ruber coming into view. "Those are keyblade-proof nets. As long as you're in there you can't bring out your keyblades." One of the men picks up Excalibur as the man who's holding Kayley drags the struggling Kayley to a covered wagon as it is pulled up the road. The man with the sword hands it to Ruber. He pores a vial of some green liquid on both his hand and the handle of Excalibur. The hand and the handle of the sword instantly fuses together. He then starts walking away.
"Wait Ruber," exclaims Princess Hi with golden eyes. "Having at least one keyblader would be more valuable as a hostage then a farm girl. I will be taking her place." The other two keybladers gasped about then and Ruber rubs his chin in thought.
"Hi, are you serious," whispers Leopan.
"What were you thinking?" whispers Igneous. "Let one of us take Kayley's place."
"I can't," whispers back Princess Hi. "You heard my father. I'm in charge of you guys. That means I'm responsible for what happens to you two. Don't worry though, I have a plan. Leopan, you take Kayley the rest of the way to Camelot on your keyblade glider. Igneous will go find Devan and Connie and, if possible, convince Garrett to help out. We'll need all the help we can get to defeat Ruber. Then join the fighting once both of you arrives. I'll protect Kayley's mom during the battle. Just keep your heart open so that we can communicate when need to."
"Men, bring the female keyblade wielder along instead!" orders Ruber. As Princess Hi and Kayley passes each other Princess Hi tells them to wait so that she can talk to Kayley.
"What is your mother's name?" asks Princess Hi.
"It is Julianna," answers Kayley. Once Princess Hi is in the wagon she sees a woman who looks like an older version of Kayley sitting on the far end of the space in the wagon. Then they start to move.
"Excuse me," says Princess Hi. "You must be Julianna, Kayley's mother."
"Yes I am," responds the woman. "Who are you? I've never seen you before."
"My names Himoxie," answers Princess Hi. "Kayley told me who you are. You look a lot like her."
"Well she got her looks from me," sighs Julianna. "How's Kayley doing?"
"She's doing good," answers Princess Hi. "I'm taking her place as a hostage. A teammate of mine is taking her the rest of the way to Camelot while the other teammate looks for some helping hands we've met looking for Excalibur."
"That's good," sighs Julianna. "I did here that you're a keyblade wielder,"
"Yes I am," confirms Princess Hi. "But this net keeps me from showing it to you."
"I don't really mind," says Julianna. "But how are you going to get free?"
"I sense a rooster that had been fused with an ax hiding in here," answers Princess Hi. "Now he has an ax blade for a beak." Not too long after they've stopped talking the movement of the wagon stops. Princess Hi looks out the small window in the covered wagon. She sees Ruber walking to a bare spot in the clearing of a meadow. He throws something down and then there's a burst of black and green flames. The flames quickly dissipates leaving behind Maleficent.
"It took me a long time Maleficent, but I'm ready to do my end of the bargain," says Ruber. "You know how rare good henchmen are."
"Yes, I do know how it is," sighs Maleficent now holding out the orb on her staff. "Just aim to hit this orb with Excalibur and my magic will do the rest." So Ruber swings the sword at the staff and a whirlwind coming from the orb itself grabs the sword and made it strike it right on. A burst of lightning throws them apart.
"That's it," cackles Maleficent. "The deed is done."
"That's all I needed to do to give you a sample of its power," says Ruber. "That was easier then I thought."
"Indeed it was," agrees Maleficent now holding her staff the usual way. "Now I'll give you the ability to use heartless to help you rid this world of all light and rule it to your heart's content. When I come back I will give you a gift as a celebration of pure chaos in this world." With a burst of green and black flames Maleficent disappears. Princess Hi steps away from the window.
"What just happened?" asks Julianna.
"To tell you the truth, I don't really know," responds Princess Hi taking a seat against some stuff in the wagon. "But I can tell that it's not good. I need to contact my teammates through their hearts. I also need to contact the heart of a one that could help us. Shake me awake if I'm still in the trance I'll be in when we're almost there" She then closes her eyes and only concentrates on communicating with her heart.
Princess Hi wakes up sitting on a colorful stained glass pedestal in pitch black without the net covering her. The stained glass picture Princess Hi is sitting on was of her sleeping surrounded by little images of those close to her. There are two other pedestals with Leopan and Igneous sitting on their versions of the same as Princess Hi's.
"How are your ends of the plan going so far?" asks Princess Hi.
"I've managed to convince Garrett to fight with us," responds Igneous. "I've also got Devan and Connie flying, at least for the battle. We are now on our way to Camelot."
"Me and Kayley made it to the castle and have told King Arther about the danger and the situation," responds Leopan. "They are now preparing for the attack."
"That's all great," says Princess Hi. "I have something to report as well." She then tells them everything about Ruber's encounter with Maleficent that she saw and the location.
"Now that is a puzzle," muses Igneous.
"You can say that again," says Princess Hi. "And yet I get the feeling that I've seen this Maleficent before. Anyway I can't be thinking of of that now. Leopan, Igneous, my plan for attack is that when I give the signal, which will be me knocking Ruber away from Kayley's mom, who looks like an older version of her daughter, or me shooting a beam of light through the roof of the wagon, King Arther's men will attack. Igneous and his group will follow up from behind and I will protect Kayley's mom. Now I need to contact someone that will make a very good ally. We'll meet again after the battle when Ruber is defeated." With a nod Princess Hi's teammates and friends fades away along with their pedestals. Princess Hi stands up and walks to the edge of her pedestal while she transformed into the form she took in the battle for The Radiant Garden. Moments later what looks like a fusion between a rooster and an ax appears in the middle of the pedestal.
"Wh-wh-where am I?" asks the ax-rooster as he looks around franticly.
"You're in my awakening," answers Princess Hi. "Or rather I brought your heart into mine. It's a way I chose to speak with you. I wanted to give you a chance to choose your path." Suddenly a mirror appears beside the ax-rooster.
"The image of you in this mirror represents the path you are on now," continues Princess Hi. Then an image of the ax-rooster and a normal rooster appears on either sides of Princess Hi in front of the ax-rooster.
"These images represents the two paths ahead," says Princess Hi indicating them with her hands. "The one of you before all this started represents the road to light. It wasn't easy, but you had humans that takes care of you, there were other chickens to be with and you had a mate who has laid you two eggs. The image of you now represents the road to darkness. Here you will continue what you have now. Larger space, able to take what you want and have more people to be around, but it will come with a price. Innocent people gets hurt and what would your mate think of you being a part of that. In fact if Ruber is aloud to spread his evil all over the world I don't know if he'll let your mate, or even your eggs, live. You have the tools I need to help me stop Ruber. Just think about this." Then everything disappears.
Princess Hi opens her eyes in the real world.
"You're just in time," says Julianna. "We're getting close to Camelot."
"And I have good news for you," says Princess Hi. "I communicated with my teammates, and the one I sent with Kayley says that they made it there safely."
"What a relief," sighs Julianna. Then something caught her eye. Princess Hi turns and sees the ax-rooster walking out from behind the crates she's leaning against.
"You made a good choice," says Princess Hi moving the ends of the net closer to the ax-roster. "All you have to do is use your new beak to cut these weights off the net."
By the time they are about to be in view of Camelot. Everything was ready as Princess Hi rolls the last of the weights that was on the net into a hiding spot.
"Now hide somewhere," Princess Hi tells the ax-rooster. As the ax-rooster goes back behind the crates Princess Hi hides the net's ends behind her. Making it look like nothing had happened. The wagon stops again when they are barely in view of the kingdom. One of the weapon-men takes Julianna out of the wagon, hands her to another weapon-man and climbs in himself to watch over Princess Hi. As the weapon-man holding Julianna brings her to the front of the wagon Princess Hi brings her hands out of the net behind her and summons her keyblade in one hand and Oathkeeper in the other, keeping it hidden from the guard. Once she feels the wagon moving again she quietly shoots the weapon-man with Sleep. Then she uses the net that covered her to tie him up. She sneaks behind where Ruber is sitting wearing a cloak just when the wagon enters the kingdom. Princess Hi watches as the knights close the circle behind the wagon through the back. She looks around as much as possible from her position. Once they are in the middle of the circle she shoots a Firaga at Ruber. As he falls off Princess Hi stands from her hiding spot and activates Shield Star in one move and the army surrounding Ruber's army and the wagon charges too. Princess Hi zips all around Julianna fighting off any of Ruber's men that comes close to Julianna and all heartless she can. Shield Star is zipping along with her forming shields, blocking the blows Princess Hi doesn't catch.
As the battle rages on Princess Hi sees Igneous fly over to the two women.
"Himoxie, you can leave protecting Kayley's mom to me!" he calls above the noises. "Go help defeat Ruber."
"Well, OK," Princess Hi hesitantly says activating Goddess Form (that's what I am naming the form she used in the battle for The Radiant Garden). "Besides I have an idea on how to defeat Ruber." She uses her wings to fly over the kingdom to a courtyard. The courtyard has a Stonehenge around it and a stone in the middle. She flies down and takes a closer look at it. It has carvings on it with vines growing around it. Princess Hi closes her eyes and a minute later more vines starts growing around the stone, completely covering the carvings. She then touches Leopan's heart with hers.
"Leopan, lure Ruber out into the courtyard," Princess Hi says through the link connecting their hearts. "Trick him into stabbing Excalibur back into the stone."
"Oh, remembering what your father told us about his adventure here," comes Leopan's voice through the link. "Is the stone covered?"
"The stone is covered and I'm heading to a spot in the sky where I can watch, but hidden," replies Princess Hi as she flies up above the courtyard. "And of course I remember his story about when he was here. I remember all of the stories he ever told me."
"Alright," says Leopan. "Give me a moment." The link closes after that. Some time later something crashes through the wall of the castle leading out to the courtyard. Leopan and Kayley jumps out followed by Ruber. Both Leopan and Kayley jumps in and out of Ruber's range as Ruber walks towards the stone. At one point Garrett tried to tackle Ruber, but it didn't work and he got thrown into Leopan and Kayley. They stop when they are in front of the stone and purposely let their weapons be knocked away. They look around as if they are trying to think of something to do as Ruber raises Excalibur up for a strike. Just as he lunges at them they jump to the sides. Due to Rubers craziness he didn't think of stopping his lunge and stabs Excalibur into the stone. As sparks of blue light appears from the stone the vines breaks away, reveling to Ruber what the stone really was. Ruber shrieks as the sparks spreads to his body. Suddenly blue light explodes from Ruber's body like a volcano erupting, soon followed by rings of light the same color shooting outward around the spot and spreading outward. The rings of light rushes throughout the kingdom of Camelot like waves of wind. From way up high Princess Hi could see what was happening to Ruber's men as they get hit with a wave of light. The weapons they are fused with defuses from their bodies, even the ax-rooster who had joined the fight sometime ago turns into a normal rooster. She even notices that Devan and Connie separated when they are hit by a wave, but as they hug before getting hit with another one they returned to the way they were, a smiles when after the hug. What is happening to Ruber is that his body's disappearing into the light as it fades. Leaving behind the shoulder armor the he was wearing. Princess Hi flies down and picks it up. After she puts it into the backpack she feels a tap on her shoulder. It is Leopan with his keyblade in hand. He points at the sky. There is a keyhole in it. Princess Hi did the same thing to lock United Camelot like what she did to lock The Radiant Garden's. Afterwards she hears a sound coming from the hole in the wall of the castle he and Kayley came out of. Princess Hi sees a man stepping out of it.
"That is Arthur," says the world through Princess Hi's powers. "He is the king of Camelot."
"Leopan," whispers Princess Hi. "That's the King Arthur in my dad's story." They then got down on one knee and bowed (think of how Aqua bowed to Minnie in BBS and you'll get the picture) as King Arthur approaches. After he takes Excalibur out of the stone he turns towards the keybladers.
"I thank you for your help to the kingdom keyblade wielders," says King Arthur.
"No thanks are necessary," responds Princess Hi dismissing Goddess Form. "It is our sworn duty to keep the balance of good and evil in check."
"Yes, a keyblader friend of mine told me about the oath keyblade students have to take before each day of training," says King Arthur with a smile. "You two regroup with your teammate and rest. I'll tell my people that it's now safe to come out of hiding. Tomorrow I'll hold a celebration for all you did." Princess Hi and Leopan leaves the castle courtyard in search of Igneous after that.
They find him at the gateway helping the guards roundup the last of Ruber's men.
"Hey you're still alive!" calls out Igneous as he runs over to them. They finally give each other a group hug.
"Of course we are," responds Leopan.
"We are keyblade wielders after all," adds Princess Hi. "We don't go down that easy."
"So how about we work as a team again and clean up together," says Igneous.
"Yes," cheers Princess Hi and Leopan simultaneously. A while later the the people of Camelot comes and helps out with the clean-up. They are done in time for a picnic dinner as the sun sets.
After an hour of eating all three keybladers lays on their backs with full stomachs.
"I can't eat another bite," exclaims Leopan.
"Me too," agrees Princess Hi.
"Me three," adds Igneous.
"But I can say that I needed the food," says Princess Hi. "I mean, we've been living on food rations since we left home three days ago."
"Has it really been that long?" asks Leopan.
"Yes it has," answers Igneous.
"I'm going inside now," says Princess Hi as she stands up. "I need to report back to my dad then I'll turn in for the night. Tomorrow I'll buy supplies before the celebration. Then after the celebration we leave for the next world."
"OK," responds Igneous. "Good night."
"Night Himoxie," mutters Leopan.
After Princess Hi is shown to the room King Arthur had set up for her she takes out Communicator Star.
"Call King Sora," Princess Hi says to it. Communicator Star jerks out of her hand and lands on the floor in front of Princess Hi. After a few moments a hologram image of King Sora appears in front of Princess Hi.
"Hi, you called finally," says King Sora.
"Of course," replies Princess Hi. "I'm done with saving this world. So I called to report in."
"That's great Hi," congratulated King Sora before talking to someone outside the hologram connection. "Helen, get the others."
"At once, Your Majesty," says Helen's voice.
"You've come a long way since you were a baby," says King Sora with a smile. "The day after you were born you spoke your first word. Now, you've begun your first journey to save the worlds. I can't wait for you to become the story-teller this time and tell me and the rest of us all you've done."
"Well wait no longer, we're here," says Lord Riku's voice. King Sora bends down a fiddles with the Communicator Star at his end. After a moment and a hologram image of Lord Riku and Master Aqua appears on each side of King Sora as he stands up.
"You may now tell us what happened while saving the world you're on," says King Sora. So Princess Hi begins describing the details of the adventure on United Camelot.
"After dinner I asked King Arthur have someone show me to my room and I called you after the servant left," finishes Princess Hi.
"You have done well Hi," comments King Sora. "I am impressed at your work."
"Thank you Father," says Princess Hi. "I do have a question before we end this call."
"It's about Maleficent isn't it," says King Sora with a sad face.
"Yes Father," confirms Princess Hi with a nod. "When Maleficent appeared an image flashed before my eyes. In it I am a baby being held by Lea as he faces Maleficent."
"That image was a memory of what happened," responds King Sora with a sigh. "When you were a baby Maleficent tried to kidnap you twice, but failed both times. The first time was the night after you were born. Pete, a henchman of hers, crept into the nursery and almost took you from your crib. Merlin had foreseen it and put a shield as we were putting you to bed. The shield threw him into the wall and the noise it made alerted the guards. He made his escape after that. The second time was a week after the first one. I was away to a different world and your mom and the members of The Radiant Garden Musketeers and their families were finishing getting ready for the party to present you to our world. That's when maleficent came. Almost everyone fought, including Ven who arrived in time to help fight, but got thrown back. Luckily Lea managed to sneak you away during the fight. Maleficent cornered him in an alleyway, but was stopped by Ven. That's when I came and shot two beams of light that became one very strong one into Maleficent. Maleficent was weakened by my attack and retreated. I didn't hear anything about her until the time Mim almost took over The Radiant Garden."
"Thanks for telling me that story," says Princess Hi. "I am thinking we could go to Olympus Colosseum next if Maleficent isn't going to make trouble anytime soon."
"I've been listening in with Kingdom Hearts," states King Sora. "She's traveling now. I'm going to look into something, but you can do some training in the Underdrome. You remember the story about that?"
"Of course," replied Princess Hi. "It started as a place were the dead souls of The Underworld would fight senseless battles. That's why Zeus locked it up. It stayed locked till the previous owner, Hades, tricked you into unlocking the Underdrome to save Meg. After you took over The Underworld by locking him into the hole with the Titens, thus make it impossible for him to tend to The Underworld, you changed everything. One of which is making the Underdrome a place where the souls of fighters can have fake fights while waiting to be sent to another world to be reincarnated. While you are not visiting The Underworld you leave Auron in charge."
"Very good," comments King Sora. "Be sure to take some meat for all the three heads of Cerberus."
"In fact I'm going to shop for equipment in the morning," says Princess Hi. "I can get some meat while I'm doing that."
"Very good," says King Sora. "Good night and I'll talk to you after the next world."
"Good night," responds Princess Hi. "Say good night to Mother for me."
"Will do," replies King Sora before the hologram images disappears. Princess Hi then gets ready for bed and dreams of that time a week after her birth.
After lunch the next day the three keybladers regroup outside The Round Table Room. Princess Hi is the last of them to arrive. Leopan isn't wearing his cloak, same as Igneous. Leopan is wearing his sash that signifies that he's a young lord. Princess Hi enters wearing her cloak in its skirt form with a white V-neck blouse. She's also wearing the tiara she got for her birthday, and her new high heeled shoes.
"So we have the same idea to drop this 'just Himoxie' mask," says Leopan.
"I had to," responds Princess Hi. "I'm a princess. If anyone knew then there could be trouble, and it could include this team."
"Well I'm not saying anything bad," says Igneous. "Just make sure that all world rescues goes like this one did, together."
"Hey," says Princess Hi. "We've been together since we were babies. We are going to be together for a long time." A few minutes later Kayley and Garrett shows up. Kayley is wearing a gorgeous white dress. Garrett is wearing what he always wears. A few minutes more and a page comes into the hallway to announce that they may now enter the room.
There are people lined up along the sides leaving a path to the other end of the room. At the end of the room stands King Arthur with his crown on and Excalibur by his side. Merlin is standing next to King Arthur. The people in the room either gasps or stands shocked at how the keybladers looks under the cloaks. all but Merlin who's standing there with a smile on his face.
"Huh, I see you've decided to reveal who you truly are," exclaims Merlin.
"Well balance has been restored to this world," replies Princess Hi. "So I see nothing wrong with dropping all the secrets about who we really are." Leopan and Igneous both agrees with what she said.
"I couldn't agree more," agrees Merlin.
"Wait, wait," exclaims King Arthur. "I demand to know what's going on here."
"My apologizes to everyone," says Princess Hi. "My real name is Hi, princess of a world called The Radiant Garden. Before my father became king he went on a big journey to save many worlds. He now still fights Heartless and other beings of darkness. Now it's my turn to go on a journey to save worlds. I am doing this with two of my friends, the young lord Leopan and Igneous."
"You're the princess of The Radiant Garden?" asks King Arthur and Princess Hi nodded. "Then you're the daughter of King Sora."
"Yes, that's right," responds Princess Hi. King Arthur's shocked face turns into smile.
"Then welcome to our world," says King Arthur. "King Sora and I met thirteen years ago. He told me about him becoming a king and his family. He even had a picture of you and your parents in a locket he wears. I'm so happy you are here. Please enjoy your stay." After that talk King Arthur knighted Kayley and Garrett. Princess Hi steps forward from her spot beside King Arthur.
"I have a special gift to give to you Garrett," says Princess Hi. She then tosses a ball of light into Garrett's eyes.
"What the," exclaims Garrett putting his hands in front of his eyes. "I can see now." Kayley is so full of joy she embraces Garrett in a hug.
"Your sense of light is now powered by your heart," explains Princess Hi. "So from now until you die you will always be able to see no matter what." After that it was time for the party. Everyone danced and had food from the buffet and talked. The party goes on for hours until sunset when Kayley, Garrett, Julianna and the keybladers are setting off to their separate paths. Everyone's outside the castle gates saying their goodbyes. Princess Hi is holding the shoulder armor that belonged to Ruber.
"You are more then welcome to come back anytime," says King Arthur.
"Thanks," replies Princess Hi. Then she holds out the shoulder armor to him.
"This belongs in your world," exclaims Princess Hi.
"I don't want it here," responds King Arthur. "You keep it as a symbol of the friendship between our two worlds."
"Thank you," says Princess Hi. Suddenly the shoulder armor began to glow and change. After the glow fades away the shoulder armor had changed into a new keyblade. The keyblade looks like the kinds of swords the knights carry with a normal key's teeth at the end. The keychain is a circular shield with three intertwining circles on it.
"Wow," gawks Leopan and Igneous.
"This Keyblade's called Key of the United Kingdom," says Princess Hi after hearing the keyblade talk to her through her heart.
"And I'm sure that you are going to need every bit of power you can get," says King Arthur as Princess Hi dismisses Key to the United Kingdom. Instead of going to the part of her heart where keyblades go it turns back into a shoulder armor piece and clips around her keyblade armor piece. Making her keyblade armor piece bigger and more decorative.
"Well, we'll see you some other time," says Princess Hi. All three slaps their keyblade armor piece. Princess Hi's armor looks a bit different due to the new addition it had. It now has red shoulder plates with three red spikes on each shoulder. After admiring Princess Hi's armor for a bit Leopan casts a portal to Olympus Colosseum. They summon their keyblade gliders and fly off through the portal.
I finally got a chapter up. This one was eighteen pages long. My longest one yet.
It had been a long time. Some days I wasn't in the mood to write, and some of those days was during a heatwave.
Other days I've been busy with other video games, but it all wasn't for nothing. Some of those video games had inspired plots for new chapters.
Here's the list of the games I am thinking of giving a world in my story and a few notes about my thoughts, but I'll save what order they'll be in as a surprise until the chapter before.
Okami and Okamiden: not much to say but I really liked those games.
Tales of Vesperia: that is a nicely done game.
Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World: Pretty good. I'm thinking of writing a fanfiction that's going to be my own version of Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World. It's not much, but I didn't like parts of that game. Other parts I have to change along with what I wanted to change, so we'll have to see if you'll like it when I do get around to writing it.
Dragon Quest Swords: I've also seen Dragon Quest VIII, but I loved Dragon Quest Swords. So that one gets the Dragon Quest spot in the story. I will try to get the characters to be like what they are in the game, but I do want to change Minister Misericord a bit. Get him talking like a normal person. There will also be original characters in this chapter.
I'll be back with the Olympus Colosseum chapter eventually. 'Till then.
