If you read the title of this chapter then you know what's coming.

We're back again Folks. Here to tell more tales of magic and wonder.

"And woe." Maverick stated.

What are you talking about now?

"Someone backstage….. and i'm not gonna point any fingers. "Maverick insinuated then fake coughed. " (**ach kach!** internet!) Just told me what the big truth is. And while i'm not gonna tell the audience about what their going to see here, i'll just say a little quote from a certain saint in red spandex."

Oh boy, here we go.

"Here's the thing. Life is an endless series of train wrecks with only brief commercial like breaks of happiness. This past days of the week with the royal family. That for me was the ultimate commercial break." Maverick stated. "Which meant it was time to return to our regularly scheduled program."

Well at least he didn't quote Spider-Man. But before we return lets answer some comments.

Guest: Well... You'll just have to read this chapter and see.

"But the beans had to be spilled someday." Maverick added.

And speaking of spilling beans…. Lets get to it!

(****"Warning: intense drama and very hard to swallow details dark stuff in this chapter, so unless any of you young readers out there have seen Titanic or at least played The Last Of Us…...okay it's not as dark as that game but still. Proceed with caution, and bring a lot of tissues. Your gonna need it." Maverick warns.****)

RIP Radiant Garden.

On Lash's moon base…..

Lash stood in the middle of his base. now that he has finished building his army, he's ready to strike against Arendelle. But then the mysterious black hooded figure appeared in front of him to speak.

"Has Grogman been dealt with?" The hooded one asked.

"Oh he has been more then dealt with, and The Snow Queen has no idea." Lash stated as he projected a dark the hooded figure a visual of him killing the pirate under the radar just a few hours ago.

The guards in The Queen's dungeon are yet to check his cell soon.

"Then i have good news as well, we've located where the Chamber is." The hooded one said.

"And?" Lash inquired.

"It was never under the castle, it only held an underground passage that lead to the entrance. The real location is right underneath the fjords of Arendelle. Not just the Chamber of Renewal, but the heart of this world as well. An easy way in for one who wield a keyblade, or the power of darkness." The Hooded figure elaborated.

"Sure, if you can handle swimming under there. My robots can't." Lash said sarcastically

"Not a drawback for someone that can wield the power of darkness, in the same principle as the boy's ability to wield an endless power of light." The hooded figure held his hand out to Lash. "So your prize in the Chamber, in exchange for us having the Heart of Arendelle's world. Do we have a deal?"

Lash thought for a moment and asked. "How will that stop Maverick from getting in the way?"

"We don't have to do anything about him, he's on the verge of discovering a revelation that will put him out of our way for good." The hooded man clarified.

Lash grinned evilly at this.

"Then, it's a deal." Lash's said shaking the hooded figure's hand, then power began to surge through his large body, an endless power of darkness.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAH!" Lash's evil laugh echoed through out the moon.

Back in the valley of the living rock….

Elsa and Maverick followed Grand Pabbie who was leading them across a stone path walkway, a few meters away from the main area of the valley were Anna and the others were. On both sides of the path however were two open field of white crystals. Each of the many crystals were sprouted off the ground like a field of carrots.

"Woah." Maverick whispered looking at how awesome these crystals looked, then he asked Elsa. "Okay any chance Superman lives next door?"

Elsa chuckled " No Aid, it's a field of magic crystals. I've been here several times. But be careful trying to pull one out." Elsa cautioned him. " I've tried it before and there very hard and deep into the ground. You don't want to dislocate a-"

***PLOP***

"Oh you did it, never mind." The Queen sound a little embarrassed seeing Maverick easily pull one off the ground with one small tug, Elsa almost forgot how strong the boy is.

Then the crystal turned yellow.

"Is it...supposed to do that?" Maverick asked.

Grand Pabbie came up to him. "Ah. I see you found a shift crystal, you should keep that those are very rare." Grand Pabbie said.

"Really. What can it do, make me rich? Turn me into a Power Ranger?" Maverick quipped. Then he thought to himself. 'Then again i look like one, don't i?'

"All in good time, but right now come. There are some things we must discuss. And you should hold on to it for now, it may serve you well in the future." Grand Pabbie said as he continue down the path.

Maverick stored the crystal inside his power ring. Making Elsa wonder how can a large crystal fit inside his ring?

"My ring can do a lot. It's also a magic storage, don't let it's size fool you." Maverick explained.

Then they both went on follow Grand Pabbie. Passing by a few tree branches as the path got more narrow. Elsa grunted as her hair braid got caught and tangled on a loose branch. She tried to pull it out but it hurt a little trying.

"Ow!" She hissed.

"Hold on Snow White, we don't you going bald like your kids now do we?" Maverick quipped about the dwarfs, as he came over to helped her get untangled . "Here let me."

After a few loops, Maverick managed to get the Queen's hair loose from the branch. She took a sigh of relief.

"Thank you sweetie." Elsa smiled.

"Right on, now let's go see what the 'Rock Biter' wants." Maverick said as they continued on.

While they were walking, Maverick noticed some loose strands of Elsa's hair that got stuck in between his fingers. But strangely enough he didn't discard the hair. Instead Maverick stored it inside his ring, without Elsa noticing. He figure in his funny little kid like mind that he should keep a sample of Elsa's hair as a souvenir. So he could tell whatever future friend he might make back on is home world, 'the Snow Queen is real, i have her hair to prove it'.

After passing through all of the tree branches. They came up to an open area with a waterfall, streaming down a mountain. Under the waterfall was an entrance to a damp cave. Grand Pabbie went inside and said to them "Come come, there's something you must see." he insisted.

Maverick shifted back into Aiden who put his hood over his head. "Don't want the suit to get wet."

Elsa raised her eyebrow. "But your about to get wet." She deadpanned.

Aiden constructed a green neon umbrella and opened it. "Am i?" He said sounding so cocky like.

The boy walked under the waterfall entrance first, not one drop hit him thanks to the umbrella.

Elsa shook her head and sighed as she conjured up an ice umbrella. She tried to do the same thing while walking inside, and it worked for her…. well mostly. Her hair braid got wet due to it hanging out from the umbrella. She narrowed her eyes at this, and Aiden was trying not to laugh.

" Well, 'water' you waiting for?" Aiden punned. "Let's move Queen of the Nile."

"Ha ha, just let the troll do the talking for now okay?" Elsa said while she was ringing out her wet braid.

"Sure….." Aiden grinned while walking with her, then he sung some lyrics in a low volume to drive her nuts. " The raindrop keep fallin on my head. And just like the guy whose feet Are too big for his bed Nothing seems to fit Those raindrops Are falling on my head They keep fall- "

"Aiden..." Elsa warned in a strict voice, cutting him off.

"Sorry Mom." Aiden said hanging his head low, then he quickly realized. "I mean Queen! No comment."

Elsa dropped her look, she wasn't sure what to say about Aiden's sudden slip of his own words. So she went with the other thing that was on her mind. "Nice voice by the way." she stated.

"I said no comment." Aiden mumbled.

Once they had walked all the way at the end of a mildly short tunnel. They made it to a large chamber located inside the center of the mountain. Lit up with glowing white crystals all over the walls and a big round opening to the sky up on the ceiling. In the center of the chamber was a large circle platform on the ground. It's metal work looked nothing like ancient medieval work or nineteenth century steel work. It looked more like something from the future.

Grand Pabbie stood by the platform and explained what it is.

"It all started after the keyblade war. When the worlds rebuild themselves and the borders were sat in place. There were certain master keyblade warriors who became something more. They were the ones who could past the borders and travel to the other worlds, to defend the innocent when we needed them to. While the other Keyblade warriors had to follow protocol and protected the order of the worlds, each of these rare and free spirited warriors were the only ones chosen by Kingdom Hearts itself. To act as independent guardians. So they could make their own rules in order to follow one path. That they may fight the battles that the other keyblade masters never could." Grand Pabbie stated. "Those independent warriors were called the Mavericks."

' I may not be the only person who's shocked hearing this, but am i the only one who's thinking of a Texas basket ball team right now.' Aiden thought.

As Grand Pabbie explained all of this. The walls on the cave started to illuminate from the moon shining from the ceiling. Light revealed some hieroglyphics and sketches on the walls. Drawings of some Keyblade warriors in armor, each one fighting monsters and enemies. And they all looked like Aiden in his armor.

Aiden and Elsa were both looking at the walls in fascination as Grand Pabbie told this tale. But the boy pondered whether he or The Queen had seen things before.

"Correct me if i'm wrong Queen, but weren't these sketches the same ones we saw in the tunnels under the castle?" Aiden asked.

"Wait a minute, they are!" Elsa realized. "But why?"

Grand Pabbie looked at Elsa. "Your Great Grandfather, King Reidar. Was the last Maverick."

"What?! But, Papa never told me that?" Elsa said sounding surprised.

"It's because i was one of the few who's knew, he kept his role as a keyblade guardian a secret from his family. For so long no one in this world ever knew this until now. Because he gave up his role once he was crowned king of all Arendelle." Grand Pabbie answered.

"Alright, so how any Mavericks were there exactly?" Aiden asked.

Grand Pabbie walked over to Aiden."Before You, there were at least five Mavericks counting King Reidar. Making you the seventh Maverick to be chosen in a long time." Grand Pabbie said this looking up at the boy.

Aiden furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and made a small scoff. "Uh...Huh. Okay, look. I hate to put a query in all of this, Mini Gandalf. But, i'm only here trying to get back to my home world. Not become a Frodo of some long term mystic battle." The boy stated.

"Well then your in luck, the platform in front of you is a space bridge. It's what was used by Reidar to travel to the other worlds of choice. He had only several ways to travel to the stars, but this one hasn't been used in years because only a keyblade can power it." Grand Pabbie said pointing at the platform in front of him.

Aiden's eyes widen. "So i can go home now? This thing can take me back?!" He asked sounding overjoyed.

"Woah slow down Aiden, let's not jump to any conclusions." Elsa held her hands up. "What about the Chamber?"

"The chamber as a weapon only meant for a Maverick." Grand Pabbie revealed.

"Okay fine, then let someone else take this job and have the macGuffin in that place." Aiden said walking past Elsa over to the platform. "I'm sorry Queen, but i'm done."

"Tell me young man, how did you get that ring on your finger?" Grand Pabbie asked trying to make a point.

Before he got on the platform, Aiden took a deep breath while giving the troll an annoyed look."I was pulled out of my world and woke up from a coma a few months later. On this world, wearing this damn ring. That's all, i didn't ask for these powers or these Green lantern weapons, i just happened to have them when i woke up." Aiden argued.

Elsa gave Aiden a warning scowl telling him to calm down, but the boy ignored it.

"Or maybe you were chosen by kingdom hearts, and it was the light that brought you here. Saved you from being consumed by darkness." Grand Pabbie said calmly.

"There was nothing dark about what was coming next." Aiden snapped trying his best to stay calm. "I was about to start whole new life. Outside of living with a tube up my nose, bald and slowly dying on a hospital bed. I was ready to live. Until i was dragged into this freak show, and was put through hell in more ways than one."

"I've heard what happened to you, and I'm sorry. But look beyond your pain, your ring is putting you on the path of healing. Your life is about to become so much bigger and better if you keep it on. All of this will-" Grand Pabbie tried to say, but was cut off by the boy.

"Bull! Shit! you call the last three year better!?." He growled. His versicolored eyes were glowing brighter with these color changing between his blinking lids.

"Aiden!" Elsa hissed. "Calm down this instant!"

"Stay out of this Queen!" Aiden exclaimed back as blue and green lighting struck outside. He was too upset to be intimidated by her. "You have no clue, what true pain is. None of you do!"

The Queen glared dangerously at Aiden. " Excuse me?! What do you call living like a prisoner of fear your whole life?! Breathing and walking around in isolation as a bomb that would killed everything you hold dear?! For thirteen years I've suffered as well! And The very thing i wan't! The most important person in my life was right next door and i couldn't have her! She had to live with the pain of being alone and me pushing her away! And i had to lived with that pain as well, because i caused it!" Elsa yelled back.

She had never has been this angry at Aiden before. The frosts forming on the walls proved it. But the walls glowing blue and green showed how irate Aiden was as well.

"Right, except you lived in a castle. Had all your fancy meals given to you and your health kept in shape, without being in a hospital everyday! The only reason you 'suffered'." Aiden said using air quotes then he pointed at Grand Pabbie. "Is because this that little Tease-Stone over there! Instead of telling you right then and there as a little girl, that you could control it all by letting 'true love thaw' quote on quote! He decide to give you a visual of you going all Dark Phoenix in future, and putting you and your parents in a paranoid confused lifestyle!"

Elsa was taken back by this, deep down she knew the boy was right. Even Grand Pabbie was looking down in shame by this. But this only made Elsa even more livid.

"How dare you!" Elsa snapped.

"No seriously Queen! You spent half of your life isolated behind a fancy bedroom door when that could've been easily resolved by the troll standing in front of you! Telling you everything from the start!" Aiden pointed out again.

"I only knew that love can thaw a frozen heart. I never knew it would apply to Elsa controlling her power. Only she could figure out how to control it." Grand Pabbie stated with no anger, only shame.

"Power is not meant to be controlled, Tombstone. It's only meant to be accepted." Aiden corrected sounding condescending. "Did you ever once in your long Rocky Road life ever think about that?"

Elsa was getting fed up with this. This wasn't the same boy that came to the castle a week ago. She didn't know who or what she was talking to. But this wasn't Aiden. Right now, he was not in his right mind.

"Alright ONE! I've just about had enough of your attitude Young Man! And TWO! This is coming from the same boy that just said! He never accepted his powers or becoming the Maverick!" Elsa exclaimed.

"Correction! I said I never ask to be the Maverick, that doesn't mean i resisted!" Aiden shot back. "And You don't get to talk either! After all of the crap you went through, hiding and hating who you were all of those years ago! Yet you still managed to call yourself the Snow Queen?"

Elsa's glare hardened. "I didn't choose that name." She snarled.

Aiden shrugged sarcastically. "Well I don't see you running from it either." He said back. "And yet look at how everything turned out for you in the end."

Then Aiden leaned against the stone wall and continued. "You spend the last three years with your happily ever after, getting up every morning having breakfast. Then going to council meetings, signing papers and working over trade agreements. And after a while of work, your out the office and you get to either paint the town red with your sister or mess around in the castle. Doing whatever fun thing that pops into your head right? Doing whatever you want after work, followed by a full course meal everyday. Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. While you were living that way the past three years, i was stealing small hints of food in order to survive. I rarely had a full meal. And while everybody that came across your face smiled and bowed before your might, i was either getting shot at or disowned by every human being that i ever came across. While you were sleeping every night in a giant king size bed with warm lavender bed sheets. I was either sleeping on a rooftop or in a dark alley. Or on the streets during a thunderstorm or in the untamed wilds." Aiden expressed with tears welling up a bit in his eyes.

Elsa lost some of her glare and shook her head, she felt so bad that all of those things happen to him, here on this world. And she wasn't there to stop it all. Then again, there was that one big question that was bothering her for a while. "But you heard about Arendelle before? About me? During those years you struggled to survive?" She asked him.

Aiden looked down for a second. "I did." he muttered.

"Then why didn't you come to me before?! you knew i also had powers! And i could've fixed everything for you!" Elsa's voice broke a little at this. "Didn't you ever once think to yourself, 'This woman has powers just like i do!'. This entire week could've been your life instead of... this! We could've helped you from the beginning and yet you picked now to come here?!"

Aiden sighed and stood up straight. "Because almost every person who rejected me had the same lifestyle you had. Your crown, your social class was a facade to me and it spoke louder to me than your powers." The boy answered her.

That was a lie, the only reason Aiden never came. Was because deep down he knew that once he came here. It would be very hard to say goodbye. Saying all of these things and speaking this way to her was also hard on the child. But he just couldn't help himself, he was hurting. Even Elsa could see it.

"And lets be honest. You couldn't have fixed everything. You still can't." Aiden added coldly.

"I'm sorry, for all that has happened to you Aiden. But we can still work it out. I know that the troubles you've had is not the completely the same as my childhood. But i know what this is like." Elsa said softly and firmly.

"Do you?" Aiden glared at her. " Do you think that just because you lock yourself away and you lost your parents that you know about the ugly side of life?"

"Now wait a minute!" Elsa glared taking it personal about his parents.

"But you don't!" Aiden continued loudly. "You've never tasted desperate! Your Elsa Agðarsdotter, the freaking Queen of Arendelle! You would have to go a billion miles to meet someone who doesn't know your name or face! Sure everybody praised the Maverick, but i was always the demon! I was the one always getting shot at! Chase away by the rich assholes that ate at your castle! I was getting kicked and beaten by Lash and his garbage pail band! Left bleeding on the ground over and over! In Fact the last time i took him on, I HAD ALL OF MY ***KING BONES BROKEN!" he bellowed.

Hearing this. Elsa lost all of her anger she had toward just stood there horrified hearing more of his past injuries. But also. He was right, everything he just told her now was right, Elsa's kingdom of isolation was practically heaven compared to Aiden's neighborhood of pain.

But she felt heartbroken, not only for him. But she was now saying goodbye, in the worst way possible. She just couldn't do it. But was could see do? The child wanted his mother back, not her.

Aiden took a deep breath and he still had his cold stare. " Here's the thing Queen, this world may have work out for you in the end. But i don't get that privilege. To pick the things that work for me here. What makes me whole. Like feeling a day or a moment to breath. My moments of clarity kept coming from the worst this world kept throwing at me. And honestly, i'm fed up with it all. That's why i'm leaving, that's why i'm going back to Radiant Garden, and back to the only human being who has ever loved me." Aiden said using the same broken voice he used in the tunnels a week ago.

His judgment was clouded by his dark past. Aiden couldn't see that his mother was not the only human being that loved him. But before Elsa could say anything.

"Pardon me, but did you say Radiant Garden?" Grand Pabbie asked.

"Yeah, what's it to ya?" Aiden answered and scowled.

Grand Pabbie sighed sadly and said. "I'm sorry to say this, but…..Three years ago on Christmas, i was approached by a mysterious man in a dark hood, who came and told me….." he hesitated.

"What?" Aiden asked.

Grand Pabbie didn't want to say.

"WHAT!?" Aiden barked so loud that the cave echoed with his voice and his eyes lit up.

Grand Pabbie didn't flinch, instead he sighed and said. "I'm afraid it's too late to go home."

Aiden's glare faded almost to nothing, and he felt his heart stop for a bit. But he stood still and listened.

"The hooded man told me that Radiant Garden was invaded and by The heartless. Very few had survived and evacuated." Grand Pabbie stated carefully. "But…...That entire world is barren now."

'Oh my God…' Elsa thought. She put her hands to her mouth.

Aiden couldn't believe what he was hearing. He slowly walked over to a wall and leaned his entire body against it, feeling his breath shorten.

Aiden remembered that is was on Christmas, when he left the hospital. And it was on that day when those men in black robes surrounded his mom's car and when he was taken away. After a few seconds Aiden looked over at Grand Pabbie with his eyes going red around his eye colors.

"What about, Amelia Nelson?" Aiden said with his voice failing him.

Grand Pabbie eyes widen. "How do you know of her?" he asked.

"She's my Mom." Aiden grit his teeth. Making Elsa gasp. She didn't like where this was going, somehow knowing it was not good.

The Troll Shaman looked down as he spoke sorrowfully. "The man gave me a necklace belonging to someone by that name. He said that...what happened to her…. It happened just an hour before invasion started. He told me if i ever came across someone who knew her..…."

"What are you trying to say?!" Aiden interrogated.

The troll walked up to the boy and held out a necklace. Aiden took it from him and saw that it was a chain necklace with a heart-shaped sapphire pendant surrounded by diamonds. The same one his mother wore around her neck.

It was becoming painfully clear. But Aiden stood there, holding the priceless jewel in his left hand. As his right hand held onto the stone wall. Trying to keep himself from falling as his legs felt like jelly. His fingers dug into the wall making the wall crack and his fingers bleed a bit. The room went black. And his mind frozen with grieve.

"No she didn't…." He whispered then he repeated it little louder with his cracked voice. "No she didn't."

"Oh sweetie." Elsa felt his grieve, as she immediately went over to him and took him into her arms. He immediately broke down in her arms. Buried his face into her chest as he wailed.

"I know Aiden, i'm so sorry honey." The Queen tried to comfort him. But he kept crying hard as tears soaked her dress and she kept stroking his hair. "It's going to be okay sweetheart, it's-"

"No it's not." Aiden whimper muffled into her chest. "It's not true."

"Aiden…" Elsa tried to say.

Then his whole body glowed with streams of neon. The whole cave, no the entire mountain began to shake. Then adrenaline of denial rushed through his body in anger, pure rage and grieve.

""""LIAR!""" He screamed out as a build up of neon power burst out of his body like a shock wave.

" Agh!" Elsa grunted as the eruption form Aiden sent her into the air, hitting the wall and knocking her flat on the ground.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOUR LYING!" Aiden bellowed at the troll. "SHE'S ALIVE!"

Grand Pabbie backed away. "Aiden listen!" He tried to say, but the boy wasn't having it.

Aiden didn't attack him, instead he teleported on top of the space bridge platform and slammed his keyblade into the center. Just as the teleported powered up. Elsa got back up and ran over trying to stop him.

"AIDEN NO!" The Queen yelled.

Elsa tried to run and stop him. But she was blocked by a neon force field surrounding him.

"GET THE ***K AWAY FROM ME!" Aiden screamed at her.

Space bridge powered up to 20%.

"Maverick! The space bridge has limited raw power! if you use it now it will never be able to return you back here!" Grand Pabbie yelled.

Space bridge powered up to 50%.

"NO! Screw you! I know she's alive!" Aiden screamed holding on to his keyblade.

"Aiden please! don't do this!" Elsa pleaded. But he ignored her.

Space bridge powered up at 70%

"Think about this! Think about Groot!" Elsa implored him but all to no avail.

Aiden shook his staring down at the platform. "That twig is better off without me, You all are." Aiden said as his last words to Elsa.

Space bridge powered up at 100%

In the valley of the living rock….

Everything was alright with everyone outside, Anna and kristoff were still dancing to 70s music form Aiden's ring and Olaf was having fun with Groot, as they played with the troll children on the neon jungle gym.

But then without warning.

The music stopped with streams of static, putting everyone to a halt. Then a bright white beam of energy shot out of the mountain and zoomed up into the sky. Causing the ground to shake like a massive earthquake, freaking everyone out. All of the trolls screamed and ran around in terror as everything shook.

"I AM GROOT!" Groot grabbed the kids and held on to him.

"What's happening!?" Olaf yelled holding on to Groot from behind.

"I don't know!" Kristoff said holding onto Anna protectively.

Anna looked up at the mountain to see it shatter and crumble to pieces as the white beam disappeared out of the sky and the earthquake stopped. "ELSA!" She screamed in horror. Knowing she was in there.

'No, not Elsa! i can't lose her! I NEED MY SISTER!' Anna thought in panic.

But after a few minutes of silence, Elsa ice slid out of the sky in the open with Grand Pabbie in her arms. She landed on the ground in front of everyone. Putting Grand Pabbie on the ground

"Oh my god!" Anna ran into her and hugged the living daylights out of her sister, who of course hugged back.

All of the trolls came over to check on Grand Pabbie while Kristoff and the others came over to check on both him and Elsa.

" Oh Elsa, i thought i lost you." Anna implied. Then she looked at Elsa's face, alarmed that she had a few cuts and scrapes. "What happened?! Your hurt!" Anna worried.

"It's okay Anna, I'm fine. Really." Elsa insisted with tears streaming down her face.

"You don't look fine." Kristoff said worried as well.

"Wait, where's Aiden?!" Anna said looking around. Elsa choked on a sob at this.

"Elsa?" Anna asked grabbing on to her shoulders, The Princess was troubled of seeing her sister shading almost heavy tears.

"What happened?" Olaf asked sadly.

"Elsa, Is Aiden alright?" Kristoff asked carefully.

Elsa took a moment, before she answered sorrowfully with the one thing that made Groot gasp. "I tried to stop him, but i couldn't. Aiden's gone."

In Radiant Garden….. Now known as Hollow Bastion….

Aiden appeared in a bright light and landed hard on face on the streets of the town. He grunted and got back up to look around. He really shouldn't be shocked by what he saw, but he was.

To see what was once the beautiful and shining Radiant Garden, now as the lifeless and baron wasteland known as Hollow Bastion.

He was breathing real hard looking at all of the destroyed buildings and crash cars everywhere. And some dead bodies all over the ground like in an apocalyptic film. Aiden place his hands on his head while looking on in horror, his eyes wandered over to a building he knew looked familiar.

Aiden then realized he was in front of the hospital, the same one he spent years in as a cancer patient. The ten story building that was once white and had glass windows that shine all over. It now looks abandoned and half demolished. Like it was ready to collapse at any moment.

Aiden began to fly up into the building and saw a collapsed wall on the side of the building, that led to the seventh floor. Also revealing an empty patient's room. Or rather his old room. He landed inside and saw his old world, it now looks defiled. The coffee table shattered, the bed collapsed with the mattress still straight, but the bed sheets torn and pillows laying messy across the floor. and the big screen TV busted inside the wall. He looked around for a few seconds sorrowfully remembering the life he once had here. His dying life.

Aiden could see a silhouette of the past happening in front of him. Like a flashback.

Him as a bald three year old toddler sitting up on his bed, excited about breakfast.

' Hello precious, are you ready for breakfast?' A nurse's voice asked with a smile.

'Yeah!' Aiden's answered in a chime like boy voice.

But then everything faded Before he quickly remembered why he came there.

Aiden started flying over down the road, hoping to not see what he knew was already there. He kept flying in the same direction where his Mom's car drove all those years ago, taking the child over to his new home years ago.

Aiden was hoping he would maybe find a letter from his mother in the car or maybe at his new home, telling him that she's alive in some other world, looking for him. But like all of his hopes, like every other time Aiden thought that he found the chamber. This was just a teased to his soul as well. Because by the time he flew ten blocked away from the hospital, passing by a lot of destruction and bodies of skeletons. He eventually came over a neighborhood of what once were beautiful houses, and on the road much to a sight of horror in his eyes.

His mom's car was still on the road.

"MOM!" Aiden called out to her as he land down on the road a few meters away from behind the battered car. He slowly approached the car, hoping to not see a body in the car. "Mom?"

Aiden thought. Maybe his mom is still stuck on this planet living like that the guy from 'Castaway' but more apocalyptic. Trying to live each day alone, hoping to be rescued someday. Maybe she comes here to this car, remembering him. Spending time sitting inside this beat up vehicle. Wishing and reflecting on the hope that maybe just maybe her son might return to her.

So many possibilities inside Aiden's head, all of them a lies. But once he got close enough to the vehicle, he saw that no one was sitting in the front or back seat. Aiden took a reliving deep breath, maybe there's still hope.

Then he looked over to where the car was heading, down the street was the two story house. A beautiful one at that. One of the few homes in the neighborhood that wasn't even touched by the destruction all over. A house built with stone and wood, that once blended in with the rest of the neighborhood.

Aiden quickly teleported over to the front door, not bothering looking at the screwed up front yard with all of the dead flowers. He broke the lock, or rather busted the whole door down and ran inside calling out. "Mom!?"

He ran around the living room, family room, dining room and kitchen. Searching and screaming out to his mother. "Mom!"

The place was beautiful to look at despite the cobwebs and dust gathering around. He ran into the backyard and saw the pool with the heated tub he asked her for. But it was completely drained of water. Aiden didn't care though as he ran back inside. "Mom its me! Im back! It's Aiden!" He yelled out.

With no response, he ran up stairs in the house and began to search all of the rooms, after searching two bathrooms a office and a hall closet. Aiden stopped at a certain bedroom, and he slapped both hands on his mouth, breathing deep. As tears streamed down his face as he looked at what was suppose to be his bed room. He remembered the conversations he had with his mother at the hospital.

'Can i go home with you Mommy?' his three year old self begged her

Amelia giving him a soft sad look. ' You will soon Baby. One day.' She cooed.

Aiden even remembered being asked what he wanted his first bedroom to look like.

'I want, um….Some Marvel pictures everywhere, a big bed with justice league sheets, some drawers and a big closet. Toys everywhere, a desk with a computer and big big TV!' Aiden's four year old self kept listing.

He remembered his mother beautiful face and laugh at his antics. "You can have whatever room you want, my little darling angel."

Aiden's eyes beheld that his room look exactly as he describe in that memory, just like he wanted with the marvel poster litter all over the clean white walls. Action figures on the shelves above a huge bed with a justice league quilt and pillow covers. Stuffed cartoon character toys on the corners of the room, stuffed toys of Spongebob to Charlie brown and Snoopy, two of his favorite cartoons he loved to watch. A big screen TV. Bigger than the one he had at the hospital, along with a game station and a tone of video games in the cabinets. A computer desk with themes of superheroes on it. A Spongebob lamp on the desk. And a Spider-Man themed fan on the ceiling.

"She remembered." Aiden whispered to himself looking around at what could've been his life.

A life that he always wanted. This all just wasn't fair. He failed to think of how things couldn't be much worse than this. But it was.

He walked out of the bedroom and turned his head over at the door leading to another room next door to his. The only room he had not checked yet. He slowly turned the door knob and opened the door. "Mom?" he muttered calmly, but his voice broke.

Aiden's eye's then opened wide to the size of watery glass plates.

The room was your typical ladies' bedroom. Appropriate to look at though with red wall patterns and a few paintings. A queen size bed with a big TV and some furniture. The only problem was that everything looked bust. Burned even. Like a grenade went off in this room a while back.

But that's not what make Aiden stomach wrench and feel like his heart stopped.

Aiden saw a three year old dead woman's body, almost decayed into a skeleton. Laying on ground with it's head up against the nightstand holding a cordless phone, possibly trying to call for help. The body appeared to be female, wearing a red shirt and a back skirt, with black leg stockings and red high heels. Brown long hair, now hardened like wood on top of the woman's head . And a large burnt gaping hole in her chest.

Aiden swallowed a little puke that came up to his throat. Knowing who's body that was.

Amelia Nelson, his Mother. There was no denying it now, Grand Pabbie told him the truth.

Aiden struggled with walking, his legs now feeling like broken glass as he soon collapsed on the floor in front of her body.

"M….mo- Mom?..." Aiden huffed and struggled with words as he whimpered so lowly. Crawling up to her on the dirty carpet. Crawling and using his weak arms to sit up in front of his mother.

HIS MOTHER!

And her beautiful face, the face of what once was the most wonderful woman in his life. The woman that gave birth to him. Her face, now wrinkled and her skin deteriorated. With a shaking hand, Aiden slowly placed the palm of his hand on his now dead mother's cheek. Feeling the rough hardness of her once soft cheek.

If Aiden's reality was a nightmare before, this was now hell on earth. It was too hard for the boy to accept.

His face scrunches up as his sobs become out of control, like he couldn't take a breath. He shakes his head hoping to wake up from a bad dream. Then he looks up and on his knees with his versicolored eyes red and teary. His eyes shed fast moving torrents of hot tears, each tear glowing blue or green as they down his red swelling cheeks. He can't bring himself to cry, breath or say anything.

He was struggling to even make a sound. This was too much on the boy.

Instead, Aiden stood on his knees, looked up and went with releasing a long blood-curdling high pitch scream.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Aiden's mournful, ear-piercing scream caused every night light bulb in the house and every lamp post outside to explode with rays of neon.

All this time, Aiden's Mother was truly dead. And now, so is what was left of his childhood. And his life.

If Aiden wasn't broken before. He is now.

Oh man! This was very hard to write! This is the first time i ever wrote a dark chapter, so i hope i hit the mark for this one.

That and this is probably the longest chapter i ever wrote for this story. I don't know if all of my future chapters are going to be as long as this one, but will see.

I had to listen to every sad soundtrack i could think of, along with watching the beginning for pilot episode of "Gotham" for inspiration on that last part of the chapter.

Don't worry though folks, i swear to you all that there will be a turning point for Aiden in the next chapter. I promise.

A special thank you to KingdomWarrior125 for giving me the ideas for this chapter. As you can see i had to change a few things but i kept it in the ballpark for you right? If you or anyone else have anymore ideas, let me know.

Oh and for a little something to help lighten up the mood around here. If you haven't look yet, i just submitted a one-shot short story on my profile. It's about the day Aiden first discovered the Maverick armor on his ring and when he first tried it on. Check it out and let me know what you all think of it, i'll do more one-shots when i get the chance. Maybe after i finish this story. Who knows?

Whelp, better get to work on that next chapter! And until next time!

FISTBUMP!
