As I got up, I demanded to Gregorio and Yoris, "What's with the fast and abrupt traveling? I almost lost my lunch!"
Gregorio then said "Sorry. But I sensed another Gummi Ship and I was thinking of finding out who were those travelers."
"That must be the guy with the Keyblade and his companions."
"I suspected the same thing.", Yoris said.
"But why all that fast navigation?"
"I wanted to find out who they were.", Gregorio apologized.
"All right, but first, let's have a snack." which we did. It turns out that Gregorio and Yoris had brought extra snacks with them so I did not need to use up my paopu supply. Still, I ate a paopu, spat out the seed, and 'quickly' planted it close to the flowers saying, "Since Destiny Islands is now gone, I wish to spread the last of it's existence by planting them in other worlds."
We then got up and found an opening and when we crossed it, we were in a maze of hedges. Impatient to find something, Yoris blasted a fireball into one of the hedges. However, the hedge grew back and Card Soldiers appeared from all sides with spears and axes ready. The three of us then stood back-to-back as they surrounded us. Then, the cards rushed in and we fended them off with difficulty as they only faint for a moment, then get up again. However, they became ashes when Yoris shot a fireball at them and when I cast Fire from my DirLuxGun. Soon, the platoon of cards were gone and we decided to wander the maze without 'cheating' (which Yoris just did previously). As we walked, Yoris rummaged in my bag and pulled out 3 cowls colored green, blue, and red. He then said, "We must not look like we are from other worlds."
He pulled off 3 wide-brimmed hats of the same 3 colors. Gregorio and Yoris pulled off their beanies and put on the green and blue hats and cowls respectively as I put on the red ones (I took off my glasses before putting on the red cowl and put them on after). Soon we ended up at a court where the Queen of Hearts (judging by her attire) was accusing a 7-year-old girl with long, blonde hair in which a black bow is tied around, a blue dress with a white pinafore, and white tights and black Mary Jane shoes. As we moved along the hedge walls of the 'court room', and just before the Queen was about to sentence the girl (whose name was Alice, as the Queen announced it.), we saw Sora come enter the scene, along with Donald Duck, who as a Magician and Goofy, who as a Knight (of sorts).
Sora called out that he knew where 'evidence' proving Alice's innocence was. The Queen then imprisoned Alice in a cage, and ordered Sora and Co.(Donald and Goofy) to seek this evidence. Before they went they had a bit of a chat with Alice which was short since the Red Card Soldier repeated what the Queen ordered. As they left, the three of us just waited. Just then I noticed Gregorio aiming his javelin at Alice shotgun-style and imitated a shot. I then saw Alice react as if she was pricked by a mosquito. Yoris whispered, "Gregorio just shot a Tracker onto Alice to make sure the stays there." A few minutes later, I saw a Soldier Heartless run for the Queen and Sora's Co. following. Knowing they won't reach it in time, I shot at the Soldier and it vanished. The Queen considered this action as an outrage and sent her Card Legions at all of us, even accusing the three of us to be Sora's cohorts despite our separate denials. As the Card Soldiers went for us, Sora and I saw that Alice's cage was covered and was risen above the court. The six of us (Sora, Donald, Goofy, Yoris, Gregorio, and I) all fought the Card Soldiers with difficulty because of the same reasons as our previous encounter with them when Yoris attempted to 'cheat'. During the struggle, I saw Sora attacking some gears which, in turn as I looked, lowered Alice's cage. At the end of the battle, the caged opened to reveal NO Alice. The Queen was outraged by this and instead of continuing her attack, she ordered ALL of us to search for Alice, and then told her Card Soldiers to step aside. Sora's Co. went out first, then Gregorio 'shot' Trackers at them as we followed. As we did so, I asked him to track Alice, but when he tried to with his Mini-map, she did not show up, which would've revealed a headshot of her, but Sora's Co did appear in the map as well as the device's. Just then, a Large Body Heartless appeared. (Only those who know quite a lot of Kingdom Hearts woud know.)
As it began to pounce on me, I blocked with the shield and as we did a shove-of-war, Gregorio then pierced his javelin on its back as it vanished. We then lost sight of Sora's Co. and we decided to take a rest as my DirLuxGun relies on direct light (i.e. sunlight, lamplight, torchlight, you name it but not moonlight, mirrored light, or anything like that). Just then, the three of us were suddenly plummeted up into the sky and were suddenly back in the Gummi Ship and then, I saw a squadron of black "Vic Viper" (the protagonist ship in Gradius) ships came flying towards us.
"Where did they come from anyway?", I muttered as they approached.
– Back at the Hellfire Club scene, they continue to plot and this happens after every chapter.–
My 2 friends quickly went to the controls and swiftly maneuvered the ship as I watched them. A few minutes later the fleet was obliterated and we saw the Gummi Ship of Sora's Co. Take off in the distance. We then followed them in a 'spying pace' and I went to sleep in one of the ship's bunks.
