Crystalmaiden62: Well, chapter 8 is finally up.

Anna: You usually post on Fridays and Sunday though.

Crystal: There's a reason for that.

Blair: What is it now?

Crystal: Hey, I had a math test to study for. So if I'm off by a few days from my usually posting days, its because I'm in my summer semester of school. So, lets begin with the Disclaimers.

Disclaimers: I don't own, Kingdom hearts or anything from it. I only own Anna and Lunar wish. Hope you enjoy the chapter and please, no flames.

Chapter 8: Agrabah

It didn't take us long to get to the next world thanks to Cid. He was nice enough to add a warp drive system to the gummi ship and we flew to the warp hole to lead us to the next world. It actually felt okay to warp this time. After the time at the Enchanted Domain, I was really scared of getting sick again but I guess the key to warping is either a strong stomach or something to shield you when warping. The bad thing was, we ended up in a huge asteroid field with Heartless ships coming at us. Needless to say, I was holding for dear life and wishing Kairi, who was next to me, were solid because I need someone to hold right now. We soon came into view of the world of Agrabah, which looked to be mostly desert, with the city of Agrabah and the cave of wonders at the polar ends of the world. This is also the home of another Princess of Heart, Jasmine, and she's in real danger since Jafar works with Maleficent. Once she gets Jasmine, she'll have six of the seven princesses and that's not a good thing. Thank god Kairi's with us. We landed and I noticed Kairi vanished so I guessed she went back inside Sora's heart for the time being. The city looked deserted and I can see why, as we entered into two to get ambushed by a ton of Bandit and Air Soldier Heartless.

"No wonder the town looks empty, there are Heartless everywhere." Donald said as Goofy thought for a minute.

"But why are there so many here. It's like they're looking for something."

"Maybe the keyhole?" Sora suggested as I shook my head as we walked to the Alley.

"That and something else." I said crossing my arms.

"Hello?" We looked to see Jasmine hiding behind some crates. "Who's there? Hello?"

"Are you alright?" Sora asked, as we walked to her and she got out from behind the crates.

"Yes, I'm Jasmine. My father is the sultan of Agrabah." Jasmine said before looking at me and I saw a certain shine in her eyes as she looked at me.

"Uh…so that makes you a princess." Goofy pointed out as I nodded.

"But he has been deposed by Jafar, who now controls the city." Jasmine said, looking depressed.

"Jafar?" Sora asked, shocked.

"You haven't heard of him?" Jasmine asked, as the guys shook their heads.

"We're kind of from out of town." I said and Jasmine nodded in understanding. For some reason, I think she knew I was the Destiny Keeper.

"He's the royal vizier. He's gained evil powers and seized Agrabah."

"Let me guess, he's also the one controlling the monsters in town." I said, as Jasmine nodded.

"He's desperately looking for something… something he calls the 'keyhole'."

"Told you it was the keyhole." Sora whispered as I rolled my eyes.

"Jafar caught me trying to escape, but he helped me." Jasmine said, looking worried.

"Who helped you?" Sora asked, noticing the look on Jasmine's face.

"We were hiding nearby, but he left a while ago to take care of something…" Jasmine said, looking worried. "Oh, I hope Aladdin's all right."

"Don't worry, we'll find him for you, Jasmine." I said, as Jasmine looked relieved.

"Thank you, um…."

"I'm Anna, these are my friends: Sora, Donald, and Goofy." Jasmine nodded, giving me a small smile.

"Thank you, Anna. I don't know why, but I've got a feeling I can trust you on finding Aladdin." Jasmine said as I smiled back. It's the bond between the lights inside us. They look to me when needed after all.

"Aladdin?" We turned to look up to see Jafar standing up on the platform above us. "Where might I find this street rat? Jasmine, allow me to find you more suitable company, my dear princess. These little rats won't do, you see."

"Get lost, lizard breath!" I yelled, getting in front of Jasmine with Lunar Wish at the ready.

"Jasmine, run." Sora whispered and she ran off.

"Ah, the boy who holds the key and the girl who watches over destiny." Jafar said, looking down at us. "I have not time for you. Now then, street rats, I bid you farewell." He summoned a bunch of Bandit Heartless to fight us and once we were done, Jafar was gone.

"Now what'd we do?" Goofy asked, looking around.

"We go find Aladdin." I answered.

"But where to we look?"

"Outside the city, I don't think Aladdin would've left Jasmine's side unless it was for a good reason." I said, as was walked out of the Alley.

"But how do we even find him?" Sora asked as I walked up to a pool leading up to a room on the second floor. It was a little difficult for me to climb up but I got inside and Sora and the others.

"Are you sure this is okay?" Donald asked, as I noticed the magic carpet trying to pull its way out from under a heavy box.

"Yeah, this is Aladdin's place after all and this carpet is a friend of his." I said, trying to move the box, but it's pretty heavy. "Hey, Sora. A little help."

"Oh right." Sora and I then freed the magic carpet, which seemed happy and flew off to the outskirts of the city.

"The carpet flew off toward the desert. Let's follow it, Sora, Anna!" Donald ordered and we raced out of the city; destroying any Heartless that got in our way. When we got there, the carpet came to us and lay out in mid air.

"Looks like it wants us to go on it." Goofy said looking at it.

"Can you lead us to Aladdin?" I asked and the carpet looked like it nodded. So, we got on and flew off to a dark part of the desert to see Aladdin and Abu being sucked into the sand and it didn't help that a bunch of Bandit Heartless coming at him. At once, we sprang into action. It didn't help that whenever we'd beat one Bandit, another would spring out of the sand and by the time we got Aladdin and Abu out of the sand we were surrounded by Heartless and out numbered. At once, Aladdin too out his lamp and started rubbing it and Sora stared, confused.

"Genie, get rid of these guys!" Aladdin yelled, and Genie came out, looking as awesome as ever.

"Wish number one, coming right up!" He said, snapping his fingers making the Heartless disappear.

"Come on, lets get out of here!" I yelled and we ran out away from the spot and hopefully away from the Heartless swarm. It didn't take us long to explain why we were there and Aladdin looked grateful we made it in time.

"I see… Thanks, Sora, Anna."

"Aladdin, what're you doing out here?" Sora asked.

"Same old stuff. Hunting legendary treasure. Just paid a visit to the Cave of Wonders." Aladdin said and I couldn't help be feel a little annoyed at Aladdin. He should be back in Agrabah protecting Jasmine, not hunting treasure. "I found that magic carpet, and this lamp. Legend has it that whoever holds the lamp can summon the…"

"Please kid, leave the intros to a professional." Genie said, coming out of nowhere and making me jump. "The one and only GENIE OF THE LAMP! Rub-a-dub the lamp and have your dearest wishes granted. Today's winner is…Aladdin! Congratulations!" Genie was going by so fast, I just gapped at him but thankfully the movie answered my questions so really I'm not lost.

"Any wish?" Donald asked.

"Patience, my fine, feathered friend!" Genie said, waving a finger in his face. "Any three wishes!"

"I thought you couldn't make people fall in love, kill anyone, or bring people back from the dead?" I asked as Genie shrugged.

"Well, that too but that's not important." Genie said, waving it off. "Anyway, a one wish, a two wish, a three wish. Then I make like a banana and split! Our lucky winner made his first wish," Genie came up to Sora and me and spoke behind his hand, "and let me tell you, what a doozy that wish was," He then moved away making a clone of himself, "so he has two left. So, master, what'll you have for Wish Number Two?"

"How about making me a fabulously wealthy prince?" Aladdin asked, I wonder how many times Genie had to grant that wish during his lifetime.

"Ohh! Money! Royalty! Fame! Why didn't I think of that?" Why do I get the feeling he's dealt with this before? "Okay, you asked for it! A hundred servants and a hundred camels loaded with gold! Just say the word and I'll deliver it in thirty minutes or less, or your meal's free. Hey, I'll even throw in a cappuccino!" Hm, an ice cappuccino doesn't sound bad right now.

"No, thanks." Aladdin said, pushing Genie off.

"Okay."

"I think I'll put that on hold until we reach Agrabah." Aladdin said, thinking for a second.

"Uh, why a prince?" Goofy asked.

"You see, there's this girl in Agrabah named Jasmine. But she's a princess, and I'm… aw, she could never fall for a guy like me." Aladdin said, looking a little depressed.

"Oh, princess?"

"Oh yeah, Jasmine is in danger! Jafar is after her and he's got the whole city under his control." I said, shocking Aladdin.

"What? Well, c'mon, let's get going!" Aladdin said, jumping onto carpet but once Sora, Donald, and Goofy got on; there wasn't any room for me.

"What do we do now?" Aladdin said, looking at me as I shook my head.

"It's okay, I can just use my glider." I threw Lunar Wish into the air and we all flew off. Genie looked really happy to be outside and really, I don't blame him since he was stuck in his lamp for lord knows how long.

"Ah, fresh air! The great outdoors!" Genie cheered, enjoying himself.

"I guess you don't get out much, huh?" Sora said, looking to Genie.

"Comes with the job. Phenomenal cosmic powers, itty-bitty living space." Genie said, as I nodded. "It's always three wishes, then back to my portable prison. I'm lucky to see the light of day every century or two."

"Say, Genie, what if I use my last wish to free you from the lamp? What do you think?" Aladdin said as Genie looked at him, a slight hopeful look on his face.

"You'd do that?"

"Genie, it's a promise. After we help Jasmine." Aladdin said and we finally made it to Agrabah. The first thing I noticed the number of has decreased drastically. This can only mean one thing. I ran fast than Sora or Aladdin to the palace and made it there before the others.

"Jasmine!" I yelled, seeing her being held by Jafar.

"So the Destiny Keeper comes faster than the boy with the key and the street rat." Jafar said, smirking at me as summoned Lunar Wish. "Such a bright weapon, but like any light it can easily die."

"Yeah, I get that. What do you want?"

"It's not what I want. It's what Maleficent wants: to plunge all worlds into darkness. But as long as light lives, it can't be done." I glared at him as he smirked at me.

"What are you talking about?"

"I would think it'd be obvious? Destroy the light's true protector and the light's only defense will be shattered." This really scared me; the bad guys are planning to getting rid of the light within Kingdom Hearts and release all the darkness! Now that's new. Still, I have to point out something.

"You're pretty stupid, Jafar." I said, folding my arms. "You just told me your plans. Do you really think I'll take a threat to my life that lightly?"

"Even with that boy Riku on our side, looking for your friend?" Jafar taunted as I glared at him. "He'll be so disappointed to hear you won't join our cause." I just glared at him as Aladdin, Sora, and the others joined me. "Setting your sights a little high, aren't you, boy?" Jafar said, now taunting Aladdin now. "Back to your hole, street rat. I will not allow you to trouble the princess any more."

"Jasmine!" Aladdin yelled, worried for his princess.

"I'm so sorry, Aladdin." Jasmine said, looking sad as Jafar held her back.

"Genie, help Jasmine. Please!" Aladdin pleaded, rubbing the lamp behind his back. At once, Genie appeared and held Jasmine in his arms.

"One wish left! You're making this really easy, you know." Genie said, but Jafar only chuckled.

"So sorry, boy. I'm afraid your second wish has been denied." Jafar said, and we looked up to see Iago with the lamp. Okay, how do you not notice something in your hands being taken away? And Aladdin's supposed to be a thief? That's getting harder to believe. The moment the lamp was given to Jafar, he became the new master of Genie.

"I'm sorry, Al." Genie said, dropping Jasmine into a clay pot that grew legs.

"And now, I bid you all farewell. Attack!" A Pot Centipede Heartless soon attacked us as soon as Jafar vanished. We could only attack the head, which didn't give us as much problems as the tail. We'd only attack the tail area once it separated and after five long minutes, we beat it.

"Jasmine!" Aladdin yelled, but the only answer we got was Jafar's laugh. "To the desert! Come on, let's move!" So we ran out of Agrabah with Heartless in out path. More this time but I'm guessing Jafar sent them to hold up back. So, we just make our, while whacking every Heartless in the way. The desert was clear of Heartless, so we got a little rest as we flew to the Cave of Wonders. Though, I knew the cave would be a slight problem seeing as Jafar has corrupted the cave entrance with darkness, I didn't really expect on one thing. Not only would the cave shot dark lights at us out of it's eyes and spit out Heartless like they were hairballs, the darkness in the eyes of the tiger head could only be affected by keyblades and my lunar spells. So really, Sora and I were doing most of the work while Donald, Goofy, and Aladdin fought the Heartless. But seeing as Aladdin isn't all he's cracked up to be, he wasn't much help. Okay, I like Aladdin as a character but he sucks here!

"Listen, Aladdin. Maybe you should stay out here. There are going to be a lot of Heartless running around and we've handled a lot of them before." I said, but Aladdin shook his head.

"No, you'll need me to help you through the Cave and I want to help Jasmine." Aladdin said, and I'm seriously tempted to say he's useless.

"Don't worry, Anna knows this cave already, right Anna?" Goofy said, as I nodded.

"Still, I'm coming with you." Aladdin said, walking into the cave. Sora and I looked at each other. I can tell Sora knew Aladdin isn't much of a fighter, and being the nice guy Sora doesn't want to tell Aladdin to stay behind. Still, we followed him into the chamber and fought off the Heartless. I made to go to the underground part of the caves when Aladdin stopped me. "I don't think Jafar is down there. He'll probably be deeper in the cave."

"I know that, but there's a pillar blocking the entrance to where Jafar and Jasmine are, so just leave that to me." I said, as Aladdin stared at me.

"How do you know all this?"

"It's just my job, you guys can go on ahead if you want. Just wait for me when the pillar drops." I said, as Sora nodded.

"Okay, be careful down there." Sora said, as he and the others left. At least, he knows that I know what I'm doing. I looked down to see the darkness below me. I shuddered, thinking back to an old memory.

"Let me out! Please! I'm gonna tell Mommy whens she gets home! Let me out!"

"Oh, quiet little Anna or the ghost will get you."

"Let me out!"

I shook my head, trying to rid the memory from my mind. 'Even after all these years, that's the reason why I'm still scared of the dark.' I sighed as I summoned my keyblade and made it shine. 'As long as I have Lunar and some light in me, I'll be fine even if I'm still scared.' I walked down the stairs to see the waterways around me with my light. Still, the chamber felt cold and I couldn't help but shudder.

"Anna?" I jumped and swung my keyblade to only have it meet Soul Eater and see a confused looking Riku. "Anna, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." I said, turning away.

"You're afraid of the dark, aren't you?" I didn't answer him. "And Sora left you here by yourself. Guess he really doesn't care."

"No, he doesn't know I'm scared of the dark." I said, turning to him. He stared at me with a look of disbelief. "I came here on my own, even though I'm scared. I just need to destroy that pillar that's blocking our way to Jafar and I can get out of here."

"Why do you stay with Sora, anyway?" Riku asked, as I jumped onto a different rock and he followed. "Sora will only abandon you later, like he did me."

"He won't. I know that for a fact." I said, looking at him sternly. "Look, I know you're only trying to help me and I really do appreciate that, but I need to stick with Sora for a few reasons I can't explain right now."

"But he's holding you back. You'll never save Kairi this way." Riku said, looking determined but I shook my head.

"I do want to save Kairi, she's become a really good friend but I gotta stay with Sora." I said, as Riku thought for a minute.

"I see, then I'll see you later then."

"Riku, what are you planning?" I asked, but Riku was gone. 'Don't tell me I made things worse.' I thought, looking at Lunar, who glowed in my hand.

I think you might have. You can sense his feelings but you can't know what he's thinking. Lunar pointed out and nodded. Maybe it was also the trick of the darkness around us, but I think I saw a darkness surrounding Riku I didn't see before. Well, I sure hope Riku doesn't do anything reckless. I went back to working on getting the pillar down, which was easy with a simple fire spell and made my way through the Cave of Wonders. Really, the obstacles were more of a blessing than anything else since it got the Heartless more than me so I made it through quickly. I made it to the treasure room to see Donald examining a large ruby and the others watching him.

"Anna, you were right about the pillar." Aladdin said, rubbing the back of his head. "Sorry, I doubt you. I'm just surprised you knew."

"Not the first, won't be the last." I said, with a shrug. "We'd better go in now and help Jasmine and Genie."

"Right." We ran in, Goofy having to carry Donald away from the huge ruby.

"That boy again? I shouldn't be surprised if he's with the Destiny Keeper." I heard Maleficent's voice up from the next room.

"They are more persistent than I expected." Jafar said. "Why not explain the situation to that boy Riku? Doing so may actually prove useful to our…" But we came in and he stopped.

"Anna, is she Maleficent?" Sora asked, as I nodded. She just smirked at me, as she vanished.

"Jafar, let Jasmine go!" Aladdin yelled, glaring up at Jafar.

"Not a chance." Jafar said, shaking his head. "You see, she's a princess, one of seven who somehow hold the key to opening the door."

"Open…"

"The door?" Goofy and Donald said together. 'The door to darkness.' I thought.

"But you fools won't live to see what lies beyond it." Jafar said, as I summoned Lunar Wish. "Genie! My second wish. Crush them!" Poor, Genie looked like he really didn't want to do it.

"Genie, no!" Aladdin yelled, desperately.

"So, Al." Genie said, miserably. "The one with the lamp calls the shots. I don't have a choice." At once, Jafar summoned barriers to block us from getting Jasmine or escaping. Okay, the game made this really easy! Genie, I can't attack him. He's a friend and he doesn't want to fight us. Heck, he'll heal us if we get hurt whenever he attacks and that's good. Plus, one of his rules is he can't kill anyone so that's another good point for us. It's Jafar I'm hating right now! Not only can he use magic at a long distance, but he can levitate too! That's cheating! Sora and I were usually Jafar's main targets because Goofy and Donald were busy distracting Genie and he didn't think Aladdin as a threat.

"What do you do now?" Sora yelled, as we dove out of the way of one of Jafar's fireballs and behind a wall.

"Someone needs to break that guy's staff!" I yelled, rounding the corner of the wall and shooting a Lunar Storm spell at him.

"But we can't go near him or we'll have burns all over us!" Sora yelled as we ran from the laser beams from Jafar's staff.

"We've only got one option." I looked to Aladdin, who came to us.

"At this rate, we'll never save Jasmine."

"I've got an idea." I said and whispered to the two guys and they nodded.

"If my pants get burnt, you have to by another one." Sora said, as I nodded with a small grin. Sora and I ran out, dodging every spell that came our way. Man, thank you Ventus for being the speedy one of the group. We passed a certain point when Aladdin leaped out and slashed Jafar's staff in half.

"No!" He yelled, as he fell to the ground and we ran to Jasmine to see if she was okay. She looked fine at least. "Genie!" We turned to see Jafar back in the air with his staff all mended up. "My final wish! I wish to be an all powerful genie!" Oh, I'm gonna enjoy this. Genie, covered is eyes as he shot the spell at Jafar. The whole place shook as Jafar sank down into the large hole in the ground.

"Come on! We gotta go after him!"

"Right!" I yelled and we all jumped down into the pit but not before I saw a certain silver haired boy enter the room. We landed on the bottom without killing ourselves some how only to see Jafar in full genie mode and Iago flying off.

"The lamp! Get Jafar's lamp!" Aladdin yelled, as we got our weapons out.

"Its parrot season, boys! First person to get the lamp, gets to put Jafar back!" I called and we all went got Iago, who screamed and tried to fly off in a hurry. This fight is in fact, a lot of fun; minus Jafar trying to kill is by throwing huge lava covered boulders at us. Still, even with the barrier around the lamp and the changing leveled floor, it took up twenty minutes to get the lamp from Iago and by that time he looked close to a fried parrot thanks to all the fire spells form Sora, Donald, and me. I ran to the lamp and took it.

"Hey, Jafar! Look what I've got!" I yelled holding out the black lamp. "You know what that means!" At once, Jafar's wrist had the golden wristbands place on him. "Since you're a genie, you have to grant my wish now! I wish you'd go into your lamp!"

"No!" Jafar yelled but the lamp sucked him and Iago, who was dragged in by Jafar, into the lamp. I kind of feel bad for Iago, he was only a lackey and shouldn't have to face this with Jafar. Plus, who wants to be stuck with Jafar?

"I've always wanted to do that." I said, grinning to Sora, who laughed. But a piece of paper fell on Sora's head and he looked at it.

"Hey, Anna. I think this is part of Ansem's report." Sora said, handing it to me.

"Yeah, but I can't make out his writing." I said, I looked up to see Jasmine moving away from the hole and I knew what that meant. "I'm going on ahead."

"Anna, wait!" Sora yelled, but I jumped onto my glider and I flew up just in time to see Riku push Jasmine through a dark portal.

"Riku, please. Just come with us. We can find Kairi together."

"Sorry Anna, but I can't trust Sora anymore." Now I really did see the darkness around Riku as he followed after Jasmine into the darkness.

"Jasmine? Jasmine!" Aladdin called out, as he and the other came out of the hole. "Anna, where did Jasmine go?"

"I'm not sure." I said, well I'm half lying. I know where she'll go but I can't say what the corridors through darkness really are since they're not really anywhere. At once, the keyhole glowed and Sora and I pointed out keyblades at it and we sealed the keyhole at last. Suddenly, the whole cave started shaking hard and it looked like everything was going to collapse on us.

"Whoa, we'd better get out of here!" Goofy yelled, covering his head.

"Jasmine!" Aladdin yelled, looking down at the hole below us as we held him back.

"Aladdin, Jasmine can't be here now! If you want to live to see her again, we need to get out of here!" I yelled at him, as Sora nodded. Aladdin looked reluctant but he, Sora, and the others got onto carpet, I summoned my glider, and we flew out as fast as we could before the cave fell on us. By the time we got back to Agrabah, the number of decreased but Aladdin looked sad and defeated as we got him home. Once we got to his place, Sora explained Jasmine might've been taken by the Heartless. This I agree with, Aladdin may be useless but at least he's trust worthy to know a thing or two.

"So, Jasmine's no longer in Agrabah." Aladdin said, as I nodded.

"Sorry, we can't take you with us." Sora said, looking sad.

"Wh…why not?" Aladdin asked, shocked.

"It's against the rules, Aladdin. It's bad enough we told you Jasmine isn't on this world anymore." I said, crossing my arms.

"I sure wish we could…" Goofy said, looking sorry for Aladdin. I feel for him too. He loves Jasmine so much and to be taken from him to the darkness, no wonder he's scared.

"But we can't. If we take him to another world, we would be…."

"Muh…mudd…"

"Meddling!" Donald yelled at Goofy.

"Aladdin, we'll find Jasmine for you; if you want." I said, as he looked to me. "The people that took Jasmine, took a few other people I know too. I don't mind helping Jasmine along the way as well." Still, Aladdin looked sad, as he sat back down.

"Uh, earth to Al, hello?" Genie said, appearing next to Aladdin. Some how, during all the commotion in the cave, Aladdin grabbed the lamp in time before we left. "You still have one wish left. Look, just say the word. Ask me to find jasmine for you."

"I… I wish…" Aladdin said, looking at Genie, "for your freedom Genie!"

"Al!" At once, Genie was freed and got his legs while losing his armbands.

"A deal's a deal, Genie." Aladdin said, not looking sad about his decision. "Now, you can go anywhere you want. You're your own master. But if you can, it'd be great if you could go along with them and help Sora and Anna find Jasmine."

"Sorry, Al. I'm don't taking orders from others." Genie said, turning his back to Aladdin but I knew Genie was grinning. "But, a favor, now that's entirely different." He said, turning to see the relieved look on Aladdin's face. "I guess I could give that a try. After all, we're pals, right, Al?"

"Genie…" Aladdin said, looking grateful.

"Just leave it to me!" Genie said and he nodded.

"Sora, Anna, please help Jasmine."

"Sure thing." I said, as Genie went to Sora with his old lamp.

"Just keep this and call me when ever you need me."

"Sure thing." Sora said and we headed off back to the gummi ship. The moment I got back to my room, I saw Kairi sitting there; looking worried.

"I didn't know you were scared of the dark." Kairi said, as I moved to my desk to start writing in my journal.

"I'm guessing Lunar told you." Kairi nodded.

"She won't tell me why though. Did something happen?"

"Yeah, a long time ago really." I said, looking to her.

"Can you tell me what happened? Maybe I can help." Kairi said, as I shook my head.

"The damage has been done and it's had years to settle." I said, shaking my head. I really don't want to think about the hours I cried for help as those people laughed at me from behind the door. "Maybe I'll tell you another time."

"Okay." I sighed and went back to writing. The darkness I felt back then and Riku's darkness are different. Back then, it was made to make me scared, Riku's it down right terrified me. That darkness within him grew so much from the last time I saw him. What has Maleficent been doing to Riku? Come to think of it, Jasmine never said it was Aladdin that was with her and Aladdin didn't know the city was under attack. So then, it must've been Riku who was with Jasmine when she was hiding from Jafar.

He probably did that to gain her trust. Lunar said, as I sighed. Riku's sinking into darkness the more he does stuff for Maleficent.

'Still, I'm sure my plan will work.' I thought, taking out my keychain. 'I can still feel our bond. I hope it'll be enough. I'll save someone this time; no matter what.'

Anna: Why does Aladdin have to be so useless?

Crystal: Don't ask me. I just write what I notice.

Blair: Well, you'll have your hands full with Riku though.

Crystal: That's true. So, hope you enjoyed this chapter. Join us next time in Chapter 9: Monstro. See you soon!
