And we're back folks! And there will be no action in this chapter, it's mostly going to be stuff like puzzle solving, for our heroes and a Queen to get inside of the Chamber of Renewal.

But it will get dramatic at the end of this, nothing too traumatizing, but we will get some answers as to what eight year old Aiden AKA The Maverick wants inside that cave

"No snowmen were harmed in the making of this chapter." Maverick quipped.

Right…

Spiderfan626: Thank you. It will be great, but you'll be learning more and more about Aiden's back story through out this story. But once we get to the last chapters you'll see why he's alone.

Alright lets see what else...That's it, just one review.

"WHAT?! Just one review?!" Maverick exclaimed. "Come on people! We worked so hard to get this chapter up! I mean how come a fanfic crossover with Kingdom Hearts and Freaking Twilight get more reviews than this!?"

Ignore my friend's rage people. But seriously if there's anything wrong with this story or any other reason why i'm not getting more favs or follows or even some more comments.

Then let me know, because if this doesn't get more then few people's attention then i may consider removing this story and i don't want to pull the plug on this one.

I don't mind complaints as long as there no flames. Just please. Help me get a following of people to see my story.

I really enjoy writing these and i want all of this time i spend on writing to pay off.

Anyway with all of that out of the way, enjoy!

(I re-edited a few small statements made in this chapter so it would fit better for this story. The door to the chamber doesn't stay closed for a day, its for a week. read and see for yourself. Thank you that is all...Again re-edited but the new chapter is done.)

(Had to fix some typos for my deviant art page.)


So Close And Yet So Far.


The Queen's Throne Room…

"And this is the throne room! Here is where Elsa disappears for hours in order to do… I never asked i'm not sure what she does here." Olaf says sounding like a tour guide.

"All of this extra space for a couple of chairs?" Maverick asked as he and Groot were looking around at how huge the throne room was.

Elsa chuckled at his statement. "You'll have to blame all of the previous kings and queens for having this room. They all once said, including my father. That the room around the throne must match the power that sits upon it." She stated.

"I am Groot?" the tree asked.

"I course your name is Groot. You told us." Olaf answered Groot not getting what he said.

"Isn't that kind of Pretentious?" Maverick asked Elsa, earning a one raised eyebrow from her. "Groot said it not me." he said in his defense.

"i'll admit this place is kind of overambitious." Elsa sways her hand. "But i guess it's also a respect for power, or rather a sign for people to recognize it. Like that suit you wear. " she says walking over to the throne.

"That's a suit?" Olaf asked forgetting the conversation that had at breakfast. "Oh wait i forgot."

Now he remembers.

Maverick looks down at Olaf. While thinking to himself 'His engine is running but there's no driver.'

Elsa went behind her throne and pulls a hidden handle on the side of it, causing the throne to suddenly start going in vertical spin. Then the throne pulls back, revealing a small passage going down stairs into a dark hidden passageway.

"Ooooh….Magic chair." Olaf whispered in awe.

Maverick and Groot stood next to Olaf and Elsa watching this. "FYI my suit is not insured for booby traps." Maverick quipped.

Elsa scoffed. "I'm the Queen of Arendelle honey, not the Queen of Egypt. There are no booby traps."

Maverick crossed his arms. "Alright than Anti-Cleopatra. Lead the way." He quipped.


Maverick ,Groot and Olaf followed the Queen down passage of stairs heading into darkness. Even the hidden door upstairs behind them closed and the throne was set back into place.

Now they can't see a thing. "I am Groot?!" Groot started to worry.

"Who turned off the light?" Olaf asked.

"Tim Burton did, don't ask. There is another way out of here right?" Maverick asked Elsa.

"Don't worry, we're not stuck, there's another door switch on your left." Elsa said.

"Sure…..Where is my left?" Olaf asked on the fact that they can't tell which side of the dim hall their on now.

Elsa reaches for some matches in her pocket only to realize. "Darn, i forgot my matches." She whispered.

"Hold on, i got this." Maverick said as his suit began to glow much brighter than it was before. Now they could see much better.

Olaf eyes widen in awe of the lights "Hey guys i found the lights! Tim Burton put them all in Maverick's body!" Olaf yelled.

Elsa smiled as her eyes adjusted to the brightness of his suit. "Nice! You are one step ahead of me Aiden." she complemented.

" True, except i'm a few miles away from your level at creating talking snow cone's." Maverick pointed out.

"I didn't know snow cone's could talk?" Olaf asked.

"What's this place for, hiding a chocolate dragon or it's ex-wife?" Maverick asked the Queen in a deep scary voice.

Elsa laughed. "No, this place was meant for emergencies, like hiding or escaping from impossible threats." She clarified.

" And you always being kept cold and ready for threats, this old bat cave went out of the job right?" Maverick asked humorously.

"Pretty much." Elsa said giving him kudos.

"Anyway. I can sense a strong source of magic down this way." Maverick said pointing at the passage to the left. "Come on."

They went through a few network of tunnels while following Maverick's trail. They kept passing through a few other tunnels and a couple of locked doors. Maverick noticed that some of the long hallways have same art patterns on the walls, just like Elsa's castle. Which fascinated him, he figured that these corridors uses to have full-functioning rooms that were used for storage or other means.

"Yeah...This place is not creepy at wall." Olaf said.

'No, you took Creepy and ate him up.' Maverick thought. He likes Olaf but deep down He still thinks a talking snowman is kind of creepy.


After a few minutes of walking, they saw a door that lead to an empty room ahead of them.

"There. I can feel a strong signature from inside that room." Maverick said pointing at the door.

Once they went through the door however, the room inside looked empty. And rather old, like an old tomb with wall paintings fading and shedding.

Elsa creased her eyebrows and looked around the old room. "Are you sure the source came from this room?"

"Yeah, i'm sure. Give me one second." Maverick held his hand out and summoned his keyblade. Then the room began to feel the presence of the keyblade, and the front wall began to glow white and disappeared.

Revealing a tunnel, that lead to a cave that was completely damp and stoned like an actual bear cave.

"No wonder nobody found this place. They forgot the keys to it." Olaf whispered.

Maverick held back a laugh and said. "Okay, now i know why you made him." He said. Which made Elsa beam a little.

"I am Groot?" The tree asked. Translate: 'Do we also have to solve a mystery and unmask dressed as a ghost down there?'

"If we do, my money is on Old Man Jenkins." Maverick muttered.

"Do you sense the source going down this way?" Elsa asked pointing inside.

"That's what my instincts tell me, i'll go ahead." Maverick tried to walk up. But Elsa held him by the shoulder, stopping him.

"No, i will." Elsa said with a little bit of sternness.

Maverick shrugged and let her do so. As they were walking, they passed by some ancient drawing that were written on the walls of the cave.


"Hay Aiden, look! that's you on the wall over there!" Olaf pointed at something on the ceiling.

Aiden looked up at what Olaf was pointing at, he saw some hieroglyphics of some warriors who were wielding keyblades like him. Some were even dressed with animal masks.

"Those aren't me Frosty, those are just some ancient folks who welded keyblades before i did." Maverick answered.

"Do you recognize some of people?" Elsa asked looking as well.

"Nope no clue. You?" Maverick wondered if Elsa knew from the stories of her father.

But Elsa shook her head. "No clue." She said.


They went forward through the cave, going down a flight of stairs until they reached the end to where the cave passage lead, Maverick noticed that a light was coming from the end of the passage so he turned off his suit lights allowing the light to shine from a huge door secret room in front of them.

Maverick pointed his keyblade at the door, then shot a white beam out to the door. Causing it to open wide, allowing them to enter and see what was inside.

Once they went in they saw a huge clean white room. Shining brightly with pictures of black and white hearts on the walls in checker like patterns. On the white floor were blank white squares that ran across the floor like a chess game. On the wall in front of the room was a giant oval shape door that had no lock or even a door knob.

" Uh Aiden? What is this place?" Elsa asked looking at the art.

"This. is what we all see. When we die." Maverick said staring at her and sounding serious.

Elsa grinned and narrowed her eyes at him. Maverick then dropped the act.

"Either that or a puzzle." he said sounding casual. "But whatever is behind that door is important and whoever built this place wanted it protected. So what better way to do so then with a giant door knob that'll kill our sanity if we don't turn it right. Or what the ancient Mayans called a Temple puzzle."

"I am Groot?" Groot asked

" No I'm not sure how to solve it yet." Maverick answered. " And I can't ask Google, this world hasn't invented it yet."

While they were debating and figuring things out, Olaf accidentally stepped on a square that happened to have the shape of a foot. Just then the floor shifted. And four statues rose out of ground from one side. And four symbols appear on the other.

" all right then, Olaf killed google." Maverick muttered.

"I think were suppose to match the statues with right symbols, they made this one too obvious since these are statues of some of the most famous fairytale characters." Elsa scoffs looking at how this all works.

" That just means this place wants to kill me off quickly! And personally I would have done it for them, if this were a math test instead. " Maverick quipped then clasped his hands looking at one of the statues, which turn out to be one of a woman with a familiar cheery attitude.

"Alright that one over there is Snow White! I'm guessing we put Mrs Death Wish over to the apple she accepted from a total stranger." Maverick joked while pointing at the floor symbol of an apple.

"I am Groot." Groot nodded as he went over and pushed the Snow White statue on top of the floor symbol of an apple. Once he was done the statue glowed red and sunk down into the floor.

"I think that worked."Elsa smiled that they were making progress.

"Want to guess what the next one is?" Maverick asked the Queen, giving her a shot at matching the statues.

Elsa observed the statues, and saw on of a boy in a leaf like clothing.

"Peter Pan?" Elsa guessed.

"Right." Maverick nodded.

"And obviously we push 'Mr I Hate Puberty' over to the ship that gave him a reason to 'Never Land' on his adult feet." Elsa quipped while pointing at the pirate ship symbol on the floor.

"Nice one Queen. Leave this one for me." Maverick said as he went over to the statue.

Maverick then pushed the statue with one arm without a struggle. Impressing the heck out of the Queen as the statue glowed green and sunk down like the last one.

"Whoa! Who knew The Mighty Maverick was super strong?" Elsa remarked with a chuckle

"When i was first gifted with neon powers, it allows me to harden my skin, muscle and bone density at will." Maverick said flexing his left arm. "Even without the suit i could lift up a thousand pound cart with my bare hands, which i've done before."

Elsa eyes widen at this fact. "Wow. I'll have to remind Marshmallow to never arm wrestle with you. Anyway your turn." She chirped.

After the complements Maverick looked at the statue of a muscular man in Greek attire. Then he saw a symbol of a mountain with a lightning bolt.

" Hercules." Maverick stated. " I reckon we push Mr Universe over to Greek Paramount pictures. Groot?!"

Groot nodded and pushed Hercules's statue over to the right symbol. Then The statue glowed yellow and sunk down like the the other two statues.

"And…..down to Hades he goes. Maverick said.

Leaving only a statue of Rapunzel and a floor symbol of a flower.

The queen recognize the statue and queried. " Why would they have a statue of my cousin Rapunzel?"

Maverick eyes widen and he looked at Elsa. " You ladies are related?"

"Yes, you didn't know about that?" Elsa asked him.

Maverick shook his head and sighed. " No, ironically you would think after all the years i've been in this world….Crap i said that out loud." Maverick sealed his lips.

The Queen caught those words closely. "What do you mean by that?"

Maverick didn't answer as he quickly flew over to the last statue and pushed it over to the final symbol. The statue glowed purple and sunk down. Once all the statue's were in place, the lights from all four statue's beamed over to the huge oval shaped door. Once the door lit up with all four colors, it projected numbers on the front that looked like a countdown.

Maverick was thunderstruck, and his eye was twitching. "You gotta be kidding me!"


"I am Groot!" Groot groaned in frustration.

"Woah now, easy..." Olaf tried to ease them both.

"What, what is it? Aiden what's wrong?" Elsa asked very concern.

Maverick slammed his fists on the door, sending blue sparks out of his hand."Seven days?! That's how long i have to wait for this damn door to OPEN?!" Maverick's shouted as his voice echoed throughout the cave.

Elsa was taken back by his anger, both she and Olaf.

"Just when i thought i could finally go home, a plot twist comes in to screw me over. HARD!." Maverick said leaning his side against the door.

Elsa wondered for a few seconds what he was saying, until she realized. "Wait, you mean you can't get back home? Why not?" she asked.

Maverick stood back up throwing his head back moaning, before shifting back into Aiden as he looks at the Queen straight in her eyes.

"Alright i'm sorry for the dramatic outburst and the bad language, Queen. But i'm gonna be real with you this time. Me and Groot. We're both stuck in this world, we've been stuck for…... even more ironically, the past three years." Aiden revealed in a cold serious voice, making the Queen gasp.

Aiden slumped down against the wall as he began to explain his motives.

"I was just a five year old boy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, when i was banished here by a darkness, taken from my world and everyone i knew. Then i woke up on this world, meeting a teenage talking tree for a companion. Along with a keyblade and powers that i never asked for. Problem is i don't have the ability to go to whatever world i want to go to. Me and Groot couldn't even settle in this world. Everyone who saw a boy with creepy glowing eyes, shooting lights out of his fingers and a talking tree. They would always scream in terror thinking that their being attacked by demons and they would immediately get violent. So without a home that would accept us, there was only one choice for us. Leave. But the only way for us to leave this land before Time Warner is by using, whatever is behind that door. How do i know this? I was told to find this place in a vision i had when i first woke up in this world, glowing blue and green for the first time. So Groot and i, spent all this time wondering surviving on this world like a couple of ghosts or alien street rats trying to find this place, and get back up there across the stars. Sure i would play the hero every now and then, but..." Aiden took a deep breath before he continued.

Elsa's heart was breaking hearing all of this. But she didn't interrupt him.

"those hypocrites who acted like they could recognize a friendly face when they see it and smile. They would only smile at the Maverick. But they were never a fan of puny creepy Aiden, they would only throw rocks at him and drive him out of their town. Groot would get mixed reactions from people, but let's be honest i can't live a life wearing this suit all the time. I would want to take it off and be Aiden every now and then. But with a world so pretentious and judgmental as this one, how can i? It felt like an eternity trying to find this place. Until i came here. Arendelle was the first sign of light that i haven't felt for...what feels like a long time. I woke up this morning thinking that it's finally over...Thinking i could go home and get my life back. But now as usual i have to spend another long week with my life gone to hell, stuck in a world i don't belong in." Aiden was saying all of this in a low tone, as his voice tried not to crack.

An eight year old boy who is desperate for happiness. Sympathy could not describe what Elsa was feeling right now. Aiden, this legendary Maverick. Has gone through so much more pain in the Queen's three years of freedom, then she had ever been through in her years of isolation. Even Olaf looked sadly at this.

Tears threaten to fall from the Queen's eyes as she slowly reached for him. "Oh Aiden, i'm-" Elsa tried to say.

"Hold on." Aiden held his hand up. He stood up and looked up at the ceiling as if he could hear something no one else could at the moment, he could sense that something bad was happening.

"I am Groot?" The tree asked what's wrong.

Then Aiden shifted back into The Maverick

"We got trouble going on down town." Maverick answered.

"Wait, Trouble?! What kind of trouble?!" Elsa asked looking horrified.

"Groot, take Olaf and get him back up at the castle!" Maverick spoke to the tree sounding serious. "Protect everyone inside and stop anybody you don't know from getting in or out!"

Then Maverick Looks at the Queen and says to her. "Hold on." As he touched Elsa's shoulder and teleported both her and himself out of there.

Whatever was happening outside meant more danger. And more danger means more action.


To be continued...

Did anyone notice that reverence to Kingdom Hearts X? Those drawings of the keyblade wielders on the cave were the unions Foretellers.

Also in case you haven't notice, because of those theories about Rapunzel and Elsa being related, i merge both there worlds together like they're two different kingdoms in the same world.

Another thing, Aiden like's to revere to Elsa as 'Queen.' Or any other nicknames he can come up with. He'll do nicknames with a lot of folks. It's what i made his character to be like.

Anyway now you know that Maverick and Groot have been stuck on Elsa's world for three years against their will and that they both struggled to survive all this time trying to find the Camber Of Renewal. Maverick hasn't revealed how or what darkness or who his family is.But They want to go back, and for those of you who played Kingdom Hearts knows in a strong way. That it's not that simple.

"Okay somebody tell me what the hell he keeps talking about?!" Maverick exclaimed.

But Maverick want whatever is inside that cave to get back home while Lash and his Minions want to to use it for other means.

"Something evil and stupid i'm sure." Maverick muttered.

I was inspired by the Netflix Daredevil episode "Penny and Dime." Using that ending Punisher conversation for that dramatic moment Maverick had with Elsa at the end of this chapter.

Since Aiden has an eight year old's voice. I didn't think the drama would work here without feeling too heart breaking. So i kept him in the suit when he spoke to Elsa the way he did.

Plus his Maverick form has the voice of 'Troy Baker', so imagine him sounding like a younger version of Joel to feel the drama. I think Joel and Frank Castle have only a few things in common to make this work, being dramatic, tragic and violent.

But don't worry, there will be chapter's of Aiden using his real child like voice in some dramatic moments. Which may happen right after the action n the next chapter.

Anyway i'm if this chapter wasn't much, I understand if it felt more like filler. But it will get better i promise. But remember what i said at the top, please help me get more people to notice this story so it can get more Favs and Follows and don't forget to review.

Thank you to all read this and as always

FISTBUMP!
