Me: 'cough' Well now…I have a few things to say before going to the chapter.
It's about my right kidney.
Two doctors found out that my right kidney is close to not working anymore. So in order to save it, they are going to place a tube behind my back.
I will be undergoing a mild-surgery I guess…not really sure but this will happen on Monday which is tomorrow for me. I wouldn't be able to updated all of my stories after recover so I am not sure when I am going to be able to update the next chapter.
Not to mention, I am stuck onto what to type on the next chapter.
So I have a little…challenge/favor from you guys. While I am in recovery, mind helping me think what to type for the chapter? I will give the credit once I do update it.
Well, that's pretty much it so to those who read/faved/alerted this story, I thank you all.
To those who reviewed: Wishfull-star, goodfriends (Guest), Asada-shino808, Vanitas' Queen21, bladenmckinlay, kairi loves sora, digifan303, HyruleHearts1123 and NinjaFang1331…I thank you ever so much.
Wishfull-star: Glad that you loved the first chapter as it took me quite some time and didn't know if it was alright but now I know it is.
goodfriends (Guest): 'sigh' Let me explain –to everyone- Sora doesn't know Kairi and Kairi doesn't know Sora (Even if her heart was inside him) they don't have feelings for each other as they never grow up together and don't say 'love first sight' as I don't believe in that stuff. However Eric, the OC does knows Kairi so it would make sense he would have a crush on Kairi while for Riku views Kairi as a younger sister, understand?
I don't want to sound mean or rude but yea sure, Sora X Kairi, I ship it but not a big fan of it though. Sorry, I hope you continue onto reading this fanfic.
Asada-shino808: Thanks (whispers) I don't like OC either but there has to be another reason why Sora had to do his Mark of Mastery in Beast's world.
Vanitas' Queen21: 'cover ears' Holy – Was it that good? Hehe glad to know you love the new OC but she is not my creation but rather my Beta Reader for my Harry Potter stories.
As for Sora and Riku…no, there is nothing between Sora and Riku. I may ship them as well but typing it – no, no, no and no! Sorry.
Bladenmckinlay: Glad to know that you are continuing my KH series and you like the first chapter so far.
'Ven sees the review before paling' Aw crap…
Me: Your fault, not mine Ven and Blade, don't worry as I give into the darkness a few times as well so you are not alone – came back here Ven! Take your punishments like a man!
kairi loves sora: No, they didn't time travel but don't worry as the beginning of the chapter Natalya will explain what happen and yes, it is a good thing that Belle knows that Sora is title as Prince of Disney Castle.
digifan303: Thanks and I hope your mind was not dying for this updated.
HyruleHearts1123: I am glad you love the last chapter and hope you love this one as well. I hope you are not brain dead, you are…still alive, right?
NinjaFang1331: 'bow' Thanks and hope you enjoy this chapter as well!
Well that's all said and done – onward to the game/adventure! Let's continue off where we last left off, shall we?
"So that's what happened," said Sora as he finished explain to Natalya about Belle. "Now your turn, what has been happening here?"
Natalya sighs as she holds onto Sora's waist, "A few months ago, Father went to show his invention though it wasn't long that Philip, our horse return without him and he was so frighten. Belle told me to stay put in case if Father returns before she headed out to the forest and never returned. That's when those shadow creatures came out and then everything turned dark."
"So Beast just got out when this world was swallowed by the Heartless,"said Ven.
"It sure looks like that,' said Sora.
"But eventually everything returned back to normal…minus the fact that Belle was nowhere to be found and Father went to find her," finished Natalya before sighing. "Not to mention but there is this pathetic man name Gaston trying to get Belle to marry him."
Sora frowns, "Why is he so desperate to marry Belle? She has her own heart to follow and find true love."
Natalya made a face, "Try telling that blasted man that! He thinks just because he's the handsome – which he's not by the way – should get the beautiful woman to marry aka my adopted sister, Belle."
"I may not know much about love but that's just not right," said Max as he maneuvered to the right to avoid the incoming trees. "Sora's right. Belle has her own right to find her true love."
Natalya smiled, "I know but I have no idea what to do."
"To bad you can't just kick that guy out of town," murmured Max before spotting a small cottage. "Hey, Natalya is that your house?"
"That's right," replied Natalya before seeing the lights were on. She gasped, "Has Father or Belle returned? Quick Max, go to the entrance!"
Max nodded before maneuvering straight over to the cottage entrance where Natalya jumped off and dashed inside.
Sora and Max jumped down before Max made his skateboard shrink down to its normal size. That's when they heard the door open and came out was a familiar face, Belle.
"You really are here! It's wonderful to see you again, Sora. Please, do come in."
Sora and Max grinned before walking inside the small cottage but unknown to them, someone was listening and left in a hurry.
"Oh wow nice place you got here Belle," commented Max. "It's quite cozy but I thought you lived in a castle with Beast."
"I was but I had to return back home because my Father got really sick," replied Belle before smiling. "But I will be returning back to the castle once my Father is better."
"But Belle, are you sure? He – He's a monster!" said Maurice.
"No, his not Father," said Belle, softly. "I've told you that he has changed."
"Belle is telling the truth, sir," said Sora before crossing his arms. "I'm not sure how Beast was like before but he was determined to save Belle when she was kidnapped not too long ago."
"K-Kidnapped?" said Maurice in shock. "You were kidnapped, Belle?!"
Belle was about to reply when her bag started to move and came out was a chipped teacup.
"Oh, a stowaway, how did you get in there?"
Sora and Max had their eyes widen upon seeing the teacup talk!
"Belle, why did you leave us? Don't you like us anymore?" asked Chip.
"Oh Chip, of course I do but," started Belle before being interrupted by a knock on her door. "Now who could that be?"
"Oh where are my manners, the name's Maurice, young man. What is yours?"
"My name is Sora and this is Max, pleasure meeting you, sir."
Maurice chuckles while Natalya was sitting by her dad as she was holding onto the small teacup. That's when they heard Belle shout.
"That's odd," murmured Maurice before getting up. "You kids stay right here."
Natalya pouts, "Like I ever stay still – come on, Sora, we can overhear them by using my secret window."
The brunette nods before followed Natalya onto the side of the wall where she pulled out a loose brick. Sora took a peak to see that it showed the front of the cottage.
"Tell us Maurice, how big was this Beast?"
"I-It was huge! Like – 10 feet tall!" repeated Belle's father.
Sora and Natalya frown upon hearing the people calling Maurice crazy. That's when they heard them say to lock him up before being dragging into a wagon for a mental hospital.
"They're sending my Dad to a mental hospital?!" said Natalya before grit her teeth. "Those low life idiots! My Dad is telling the truth!"
That's when they saw Belle enter back to the cottage and grabbed a silver mirror before walking out to the crowd.
"My Father is not crazy and I can prove it!" shouted Belle before holding up the silver mirror. "Show me the Beast!"
Sora, Natalya, Max gasped to see the silver mirror glow green before hearing the crowd gasps in shock. Many of the town people were asking questions to Belle about the Beast.
"Is he dangerous?"
"Oh, no, he wouldn't hurt anyone," assured Belle, softly before looking over at the image of the Beast. "Please I know that he looks vicious but he's really kind and gently…he's my friend."
Sora and Natalya smiled before the pink hair teen noticed how Gaston was eye on the mirror with a jealous look on his face.
"I don't like how that pretty boy Gaston is given at the mirror," murmured Natalya. Sora nodded before both saw Gaston grabbed hold onto Belle's shoulders.
"If I don't know any better, I say you have feelings for this monster," sneer Gaston, slightly.
Belle stepped away before glaring at the hunter, "He's no monster Gaston. You are!"
"She is crazy as the old man," said Gaston before snatching the mirror from her. "The Beast will make off with your children! He'll come after them at the night!"
"No!" shouted Belle, desperately.
Natalya girts her teeth but as she was about to dash out to the front, Sora got the hold of her.
"Let me go, Sora! Belle needs me!"
"What good will it do if you were caught in the mist?!" said Sora, seriously. "Don't go rushing into things that can let you to harm!"
Max gave him a certain look before crossing his arms, "Reminds me of someone that I know of."
Sora pouts, "Hey! I learned my lesson, alright? You don't have to remind me about them!"
Natalya bites her lip before looking into the little window to hear the town people talking about killing the Beast.
"We're not safe until he's dead!"
"He'll come stalking us at night!"
"Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite!"
"He'll wreak havoc on our village if we let him wander free!"
"So it's time to take some action, boys!" shouted Gaston as he grabbed hold onto a troch and jumped onto a bench. "It's time to follow me!"
Through the mist, through the woods,
through the darkness and the shadows.
It's a nightmare but it's one exciting ride.
Say a prayer, then we're there.
At the drawbridge of a castle,
And there's something truly terrible inside.
It's a beast!
He's got fangs – Razor sharp ones!
Massive paws, killer claws for the feast.
Hear him roar!
See him foam!
But we're not coming home 'til he's dead – Good and dead!
Kill the Beast!
"No, I won't let you do this!" shouted Belle as she was trying to get hold of the mirror.
"You're not with us, you're against us!" said Gaston before grabbing hold onto Belle's hand. "Bring the old man!"
"Get your hands off me!" shouted Maurice before being toss into his cellar including Belle.
"We can't have them running off to tell the creature!" said Gaston, angrily before sealing them inside.
"Let us out!" shouted Belle.
"We'll rid the village of this Beast," said Gaston. "Who's with me?"
All the men agreed before the crowd left with angry look on their faces. When the crowd was out of sight, Sora, Natalya and Max ran out of the cottage to the locked cellar.
"Belle, where is the key to the cellar?" shouted Natalya.
"Never mind me, you two need to warn the Beast," begged Belle. "You have to hurry!"
"I am not leaving you here!" shouted Natalya before biting her lip. "There is got to be another way to set them free."
"What about that thing?" asked Max while holding onto Chip.
Sora and Natalya looked over to see a machine that had an axe on the side.
"Father's firewood invention?" wondered Natalya before smiling. "That will work. Come on Sora help me get this thing to work!"
Sora sighs before summoning his Oathkeeper and pointing it to the lock. The doors of the cellar were unlocked and Belle and Maurice were let out.
"Right, he can unlock doors," murmured Max.
"You could have told me that," snapped Natalya, angrily.
"Natalya, calm yourself down," scold Belle before running back to the cottage. She came back out with her blue robe around her shoulders, "Come on, we have to warn the Beast."
Soar and Natalya nodded before Max resizes his skateboard while Belle and Maurice rode on Philip.
Max followed Belle deep to the woods before running into a few of the town people running out of the castle gates.
"What in the world? Why are they running out of the castle?" murmured Max.
Belle giggled, "I believe the other servants were defending the castle. Is it that right, Chip?"
"Yup and I think they were a bit surprised who they were fighting with," replied Chip before looking up the castle and gasped. "Oh no, the Master is in trouble!"
Sora looked up to see Gaston and Beast, fighting on top of the castle.
"NO!" shouted Belle. "Gaston, please don't!"
Sora grits his teeth, "Max, we have to get up there and help Beast. Natalya, you have to get off and help Belle deal with the other town people that are still around here."
"No, I am going to help you," said Natalya, determinedly. She smirked, "I may be a girl but I do know how to fight my own battles. Just ask Belle."
Sora blinked his eyes before looking over at Belle who gave him a nodded to confirm the pink hair girl was telling the truth.
Sora sighs, "Alright, you watch my back and I will watch yours, deal?"
Natalya nodded before Max dashed onward to the castle and went over to the West side of the castle to find Beast's room. Chip told them where to go before they left.
They dashed passed the Entrance Hall and went to the left side of the stairway.
Though when they are about to get up another set of stairs, bunch of new Heartless appear in front of them. Max gasp before stopping his skateboard.
"A-Are those the Heartless you were talking about, Sora?" asked Max.
Sora nodded, "That's them alright. Wonder why they are appearing here at Beast's castle and not over at the village?"
"I have no idea but," said Natalya before summoning a double black scythe. She smirks, "Revenge is so sweet – Die you shadow fools!"
The pink hair girl dashed forward and swings her double blade onto a red Heartless, Crimson Jazz. She hit it onto the side and destroyed the Heartless when it was hit onto the side wall.
Sora stood there for a moment before shaking off his shock and summoned his Oathkeeper. He went over and casted a few high level fire spells onto some Soldiers.
"Um wait – Sora!" said Max before panicked when a few Large Bodies went after him. He hopped onto his skateboard and skated around the large Heartless.
"What do I do? What do I do?' asked Max in panic.
"Like in your training, Max!" shouted Sora as he casted reflect onto Natalya. He turned to his knight, "Concentrate!"
Max sighs before having a serious look on his face. He stopped and switched his direction towards the Large Bodies, "Alright, here I go – Fire Slash!"
The young knight jumped off from his skateboard before pressing onto the red button. The board transforms into a fire sword and send slashes of fire towards the large Heartless.
Max grinned, "That was awesome – ah!"
Natalya titled her head, "Is…this his first time fighting something or what?"
"You can say that," murmured Sora before scratching his cheek. "Don't worry he had a lot of training with his Dad who is the Army Captain."
"If you say so Sora – Look out! Dark Fira!" shouted Natalya as she released a dark version of fire onto a few Lance Soldiers.
'Dark Fira?' thought Sora.
"I have a feeling that this girl uses power of the Shadows,"said Ven. "It would explain about her weapon and how it looks like."
Sora nodded before seeing the double blade scythe head to toe.
On the top of the handle, was a skeleton like doll with a fancy top hat that had two black roses and two raven feathers, it has a heart eye patch on the left side while the right had a black tear going down.
Around the doll's neck had Victorian collar with a dark golden pendent and feather line trimmings. On the bottom of the pendent was a dark pink ribbon and was wearing a simple greyish tunic that look like it was stitched and on the bottom side was more feathers.
In the middle was the handle with a genie bottle look and was connected to the doll and the bottom of the staff had swirls with a pointy end.
"You may be right Ven," said Sora while dodging an incoming attack from a Gargoyle Knight. "Though I sense nothing evil about her, could it be possible that her Shadow magic is good?"
"Could be? There is nothing bad to ask her – Look out Sora! Hook Bats coming towards you!" said Ven.
Sora nodded, "Magnega!"
The bunch of Hook Bats gathered around before Natalya destroyed them with her dark fire.
For Max, he was able to destroy a few Heartless by using his skateboard and impacted it into the ground which caused small quake underneath the Heartless.
"Come on, let's get going," said Sora.
Max and Natalya nodded before dashing up to the stairway to Beast's room. When they made it, the window was broken and lead to the outside balcony.
The trio dashed over to the broken window before leaning to see Gaston looking over at the Gargoyles and was trying to find Beast.
"Were you in love with her Beast? Did you really think that she will ever love you while she has me instead?" sneer Gaston.
In the shadows, Sora could barely see a dark shadowy figure coming behind Gaston. The brunette knows it must be Beast who roared at the hunter.
Gaston gasped a bit before lifting up the broken stone club to Beast but failed as Beast was able to grab hold on it. Beast throws the hunter onto the side.
Sora, without hesitation, leaps out to the balcony and fired a few fire spells onto Gaston.
"W-What was that?" said Gaston in surprised before looking over up head. "And who are you, boy?!"
Beast turned over before having a shock look on his face, "Sora? What are you doing here?"
"Tell you later, first let's deal with him," said Sora before narrowing his eyes. 'Something is not right about Gaston. I feel heavy darkness surrounding him.'
"You are right, Sora. Gaston has too much greedy which is slowly taking control over," said Ven. "That would explain why the Heartless are appearing here and not at the village."
"Gaston's darkness is attracting them,"said Sora. "Ready?"
"I'm always ready, Sora," replied Ven, happily.
-Break Line-
Well now, it looks like there is going to be a battle with Gaston. Who is going to win? Our heroes or that sick bastard, Gaston?
Ventus! Stop drawing attention to yourself! 'Sighs' And he's back inside of Sora – damn it!
