Chapter Sixteen: The True Enemy
"Well this is nice!" Jason growled tied up with Kilala and Rie, "damn these ropes are tied good!"
"I'm sorry, Rei and thanks" Kilala said.
"Silly girl" Rei said.
"The tiare...let's get it back, okay?" Kilala said.
"Huh?"
'Won't cry anymore, no matter how tough it gets I'll never give up because I have a future to believe in.'
"I'm sure we'll be able to do it together!" Kilala smiled.
"You've changed somehow..."
"Hee! Cinderella taught me a lot of things there's so much I want to tell you! Like how I took Princess lessons with her, how we planned for the ball oh and how the tiara got broken but was then fixed by magic but after that, it was still a fantastic world oh! And that giant Heartless that the Stepmother summoned...huh?"
"WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS GETTING INTO THESE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS?! I TAKE MY WORDS BACK! YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED AT ALL!" Rei yelled.
"D-don't worry! The tiara and the story are back to normal now!" Kilala said.
"Sheesh! I can't believe you!"
"You do are weird" Jason sighed.
'A smile on our face will surely light the way ahead of us!' Kilala thought
Later that night Kilala fell asleep as Jason looked out a window.
"I have to end the coup, no matter what and then I want to show you my home the beautiful world where I was born and raised I want to show you the real Paradiso" Rei said to the sleeping Kilala.
The next morning they got a rude awakening as they were taken to the front of the ship to see the destroyed land of Paradiso.
"This is Paradiso?!" Kilala said.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY HOME?! ANSWER ME VALDOU!" Rei yelled as the man chopped his neck and caught Rei.
"Rei?!" Kilala yelled.
"Take the Prince to the Southern Tower and put her and the keyblade wielder in the Western Internment camp" Valdou said.
"REI!" Kilala yelled.
"I'm sure you'll look forward to your next meeting" Valdou smirked.
Later!
"OW!" Kilala cried out as she and Jason were thrown into a cell, "THAT HURT, YOU BRUTE!"
"Did they send you here for treason too?" a woman asked as Jason and Kilala looked at all the people in the cell.
"The situation is really getting out of control. Everyday thousands of people either go mission, or are sent to internment camps like this with both the King and the Prince gone..."
"You mean Rei?!" Kilala said.
"Your prince returned" Jason said.
"He's back in the country" Kilala said.
"The Prince?! He's alive?! That's great news!"
"But right now he's with that traitor Valdou so please I want to save him! Please lend me your help!" Kilala said as the women looked to each other.
Later two women pushed a large cart of trash as they approached a man in a trench coat and hat.
"We're here to take out the trash" one of the women said.
"Right, go in" he said as the two moved to a garbage shout as Jason and Kilala popped out of the trash.
"BLEAHH!" Kilala said.
"That is disgusting!" Jason said.
"Good job hanging in there" the older woman said.
"Climb up this incinerator and you can get out" the younger said.
"Don't worry, you're small enough to fit" the other said.
"Got it" Jason said.
"It's all up to you to rescues the prince now he's the only one who can get our world out of this crisis...huh?" she said seeing Kilala smile.
"I'll see to it! I promise" Kilala said as she and Jason climbed up the tube.
Later Jason and Kilala were running down the hall as they noticed all the machines around them as they peeked into an open door to see Rei with shackles on his hand attached to the roof.
"What do you want?! Why are you doing this?!" Rei yelled.
"Humans are no longer required for this world to prosper" Valdou said.
"Wha-what?"
"We'll be using this tiara for something much more meaningful, from now on we humanoids will run the world" Valdou said as Jason, Rei and Kilala eyes widen.
"Machines?! They're machines! No wonder I didn't sense any heart in him someone that evil should have gave himself away the minute I saw him" Jason whispered.
"With everything done by automations, productivity will be much higher of course, humanoids won't good up either. A person's heart is something so unnecessary and worthless! Your highness I guess it wasn't good enough to erase your memories" he said as trench coats put wire on his head.
"Wha...?!"
"This time we'll brainwash you for good! Farwell your highness" he said as the machine came on/
"UWAGHHH!" Rei cried out.
"NOOOOOO!" Kilala yelled as she and Jason ran into the room as the tiara glowed and covered the room in light.
"Why is the tiara glowing?!" Valodu yelled.
"Rei!" Kilala yelled.
"Kilala!" Rei said as Jason used his keyblade to break the chains holed Rei.
"The pest! Not that girl again?!" Valdou yelled as Jason smacked his in the side of the head with his keyblade as Rei grabbed the tiara and the three ran out of the room,"DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!"
The three ran into an empty set of ruins as they stopped and panted to catch their breathes.
"We...we should be...all right here..." Rei panted.
""Rei! Jason! Look!" Kilala yelled as they looked to see a meadow of flowers, "isn't this amazing? It's gorgeous!"
"I can't believe there's such a place left after all that devastation!" Rei said.
"Look at this, guys! We can make Paradiso a beautiful world again! Don't you see, we still have this much hope around us!" Kilala said.
"Kilala I'm going to fight with everything I've got to save Paradiso and to do that I need your smile" Rei said.
"R-really? Do you really mean it? I...I'm not graceful or reliable, and I'm a huge klutz...t-there's no way I'm fit to be a princess" Kilala said.
"I'll say it again I want you to be with me forever" Rei said placing the crown on Kilala head.
'I will become a princess who can change the world with the power of love because with you by my side, I can do anything! Only with you can I truly shine my prince!' Kilala thought as the two kissed and Jason smiled and looked away.
"About damn time" Jason said.
'Of course, I still need to collect the gems...and I have lots I need to learn but there are many worlds and Princesses still waiting for us with our hopes and dreams firmly in our hands, let's step out and open the door to our future!' Kilala thought as they ran down the meadow.
