Chapter 5 Trance Activate: Into the Hyper Bolic Time Chamber

Disclaimer: Again I don't own any of the characters except Maximus, kind of a filler chapter but whatever; at least we get to see a snippet of the villains, woohoo

Disney Castle

Kairi and Sora made their way to the King's room, Sora had made a full recovery and was more than enthusiastic to leave the hospital, "Can you believe what that nurse did to me in my sleep, I woke up with new scars instead of the old ones healing up" he said disgusted as they continued walking.

Kairi didn't say anything, she avoided eye contact with him, Sora noticed this and stopped her "What's up with you? You're not being your usual annoying self today" he said sounding slightly concerned, she shook her head and put on her most convincing face "Forget it now let's go, His Majesty is expecting us and it is our duty to follow his gracious leadership!" she shouted marching forward in a very overexaggerated way, Sora chuckled "You can't keep the mask on forever Kairi, you need to start trusting me" he thought as they kept walking.

They saw Riku and Xion; they waved and made their way over to their friends. Riku and Sora high fived while Xion and Kairi hugged, "Hey Sora how are you feeling?" said Xion as she hugged him, he grinned and gave her a thumbs up "Never been better Sis" she giggled and Riku put Kairi in a headlock "So where you bawling like a little baby while Sora was in hospital" he teased earning a punch to the groin from her, as he writhed on the floor she kept walking "Jerk" she said, trying to mask her red cheeks.

Xion laughed and looked back at Sora, her face saddened "I'm sorry about what happened to Roxas and Ven Sora, I sure hope he's ok" she said concerned for their cousins, Sora shook his head and squeezed her shoulders, "Don't worry about it Xion, we'll find them" he said gently.

They kept walking to the King's room, Kairi knocked "Come in" she heard and they entered. Mickey wasn't the only one in the room, Maximus, Aht, Zidane and Garnet where there as well. Mickey looked up and smiled at them "Hey guys thanks for coming, Sora are you feeling ok now?"

Sora nodded "No problem boss, I'm ready to rock and roll now" he said, the others laughed. Mickey sat up on his chair "Right well I called you all here for a special reason, starting today you will be receiving special training in different fields"

They all looked rather surprised; Riku scoffed "Extra Training for what? I thought I was already qualified to be a second grade meister?" he said appalled, Mickey sighed "I will admit you are very skilled Riku but your reliance on your dark powers can only give you so much, I'm sending you to The Land of Departure to learn more about the power of light"

Riku looked dumbstruck and abruptly fainted, Xion knelt down next to him and looked up apologetically "Sorry Your Majesty he's not used to understanding the power of light, I promise he will be respectful to Master Eraqus" Mickey nodded and looked at Kairi and Sora "Kairi you are to be sent to The Hall of Justice to learn how to use a firearm, you need to learn to defend yourself if you lose your weapon" he said to Kairi.

"You mean I have to work with the..Judges?" she whispered, terrified she had heard what the Judges got up to, they were thrown into the deep end of fighting against Shadows and Demons. Sora looked over at Mickey "Are you serious sir? I mean isn't that kind of like sending a princess into fight a throng of Shadows", Garnet gave him a weird look.

"Sora you will be learning how to use Trance, Maximus and Zidane will be your teachers" Mickey said to Sora, Sora looked confused "Trance, what's that exactly?" he asked, Maximus grinned "You'll find out soon enough"

"There's also one more thing, during Riku's last mission we managed to get our hands on a strange blue substance" said Mickey, holding a tube containing the liquid. Zidane stepped forward "We know now that this substance is called Phazon, which as you now is the compound necessary to create a pure Heartless, if the enemy are using this then it means a Heartless revival is inevitable, we need all meisters to become stronger to help combat the ever increasing threat"

Mickey nodded "Now I expect good results from all of you, remember you hearts are all connected and to believe in both yourself and your partner" the others nodded. Mickey smiled "In that case I will see you all later" and with that everyone left his office.

Maximus turned to Sora and Zidane "My gummi ship is parked just outside, I'll be waiting for you guys whenever you're ready" he said, Zidane grinned "Nice, hope you have kept it the way it was before we graduated", Maximus grinned back "Hell yeah, I've made it even better"

Zidane and Garnet walked off to get their things while Maximus and Aht went to the entrance, Maximus gave Riku, Xion and Kairi a half wave while leaving, Riku and Xion looked at Sora and Kairi "Well see you guys when you get back, good luck with training" said Riku as he gave Sora a fist pump and a quick hug with Kairi, "Be careful" said Xion as she hugged Sora tightly.

Sora ruffled her hair "Don't worry I'll be fine" he said, they said their goodbyes and left Sora and Kairi alone, "Well I guess you should get going" said Kairi, Sora nodded and squeezed her shoulder "Yeah, look after yourself Kairi, I'll see you soon and then we'll be even stronger than before" he said smiling at her before running off to the entrance.

Kairi watched him as he left, she clenched her fist "Yes, I will get stronger" she said to herself before heading to the Gummi Hanger.

Mega City One

Ma-Ma loved violence, it was what she loved causing; she loved power and giving out fear into the people that lived in Peach Trees, the mega city in which she and her gang had taken over after destroying the rival gangs of the kilometre high skyscraper. But even she wouldn't have ever thought about becoming victims to the Shadows and Demons, they came in giant pods, crashing down into the city and since had kept a tight grip on both the city and the mega blocks.

She didn't control her block anymore, they did, the people didn't fear her, they were scared of having their hearts removed or becoming more of the demons mad experiments to become a Heartless, she had seen what they could do to people and she didn't want to argue, she was mad but she wasn't stupid, she held her tongue as the demons came in.

There were two demons that now had control of Mega City One and where the ones overseeing the rapid infestation of the world. She knelt down along with all the other members of her gang and waited what they had to say, which wasn't much often.

They were both hidden in shadow's, the only parts she could make out where their eyes, the one with three red eyes looked down towards her "So Ma-Ma, how have things been going in this shithole of yours" he said, even though she couldn't see his face she could tell he was smirking.

"Don't call our city a shithole, you ugly demon fuck child!" said one of her gang members before she could say anything, she groaned and closed her eyes, she heard a swift movement and when she looked again his head was gone. She managed to force a sneer "Everything's fine…sir" she said.

The demon grinned "Good, it seems like you've learned your place, now if you don't mind, me and V here have to leave a certain…. let's just say, piece of important equipment here for the time being, I hope you don't mind" he said as something huge appeared behind him, it was over forty feet tall, it was clearly mechanical, Ma-Ma was overwhelmed by its size. "Don't worry, it won't hurt you or any of your little gang, it's just being stored here briefly while we go to see the boss, we'll be back tomorrow, you just keep doing what you do around here" he said as they left.

She spat at the ground "Fucking demon scum" she muttered before turning to Caleb "Keep our techie on look out over the complex, I don't wanting a single fucking Judge or Meister in this building do you understand me?" she said to him, he nodded "I got it Ma" before heading off to the control room.

Gummi Ship

Sora looked around the ship, all over it were posters of bands like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, it was like standing in a music shop. "You guys have really made this a cool place" he said to Zidane.

"Yeah we got bored of the typical design so Max and I made some modifications to our ship, ah the joys of being a graduate" said Zidane; he was sitting on the couch causally sipping on a bottle of larger.

Aht was playing a strange tune that Sora didn't recognise on her flute, Garnet was reading a book called I Want to be Your Canary "So what exactly is this place like?" asked Sora, Zidane grinned "You'll find out soon enough, just trust me it's pretty damn intense in there though" he said.

Sora started to feel uneasy "What kind of place is this, I mean these guys are the best student to ever graduate form the academy and they say this place is intense, how the hell do they think I'm gonna act, for they now it might be too much for me" he thought to himself as he picked up a magazine and started reading to keep himself occupied.

"Hey Max? Can I drive for a little while, please?" said Aht trying to look as cute as possible, anyone else would have fallen for it but not Max "Nope" he said simply and kept flying. "Ohhhh why not?" whined Aht as she sat on the floor and pouted at him. Maximus sighed and turned round to look at her "Do I need to remind you of that Spinosaurus incident on Isla Sorna?" he said raising his eyebrows.

Aht's face went red as Zidane burst out laughing, Sora laughed as well and looked up at Maximus "What happened?" he asked curiously.

"Well basically we went on a standard training exercise only for Aht to piss off a full grown Spinosaurus, it chased after us only to start chasing these other people who were also there, it crashed their plane, killed two of them and beat the shit out of a T-Rex. So anyway Aht and I had to spend three days with these people while they looked for their son and all of this would have been avoided if Aht hadn't made on of her weird Beastkind noises right next to the bloody twenty foot tall dinosaur" said Maximus said while laughing along with Zidane.

Aht frowned and curled up into a ball "You guys are sooooo mean!" she cried, Maximus rolled her eyes and scooped her up in his arms and started tickling her stomach causing her to squeal and start thrashing around while giggling wildly "Cut it out Max!" she squealed as he flipped her onto his shoulder and carried her over to Garnet and dumped her next to her "Read to her, it'll shut her up for a while" he said to Garnet before he made his way back to the cockpit.

Hyper Bolic Time Chamber

Sora stared around in awe, he was standing it what looked like an unending void, the air was denser than he was used to, and he was finding it harder to breathe and when he spoke there was an incredible echo.

"Welcome to the Chamber" said Maximus as he stepped out into the void, there was a large building which served as the entrance; there were beds, a kitchen, a giant hourglass and clock. When Sora followed him he felt like an invisible force was pushing down on him, bringing him to his knees.

"The gravity here is ten times that of any of the world in the Relm of Light, it will take some time to get used to" said Maximus as he helped Sora up. Sora, with some difficulty, managed to get back into the living quarters were Aht and Garnet were sorting out the food supplied and Zidane was doing some press ups.

"Right we'll rest up and have a bite to eat and then we'll begin your training" said Maximus as he made his way into the kitchen to help Aht and Garnet. "Get some rest Sora, we'll wake you when dinners ready" said Aht, Sora nodded and made his way to one of the beds, he lay down and closed his eyes.

There she was, red hair and those purple eyes, standing in front of him in the arms of a man, he looked just like Sora except with black hair and amber eyes "Your partner is very beautiful Sora, you definitely have picked a good one this time" he sneered at Sora.

"Take your hands of her Vanitas" said Sora, Vanitas did so and Kairi disappeared leaving the two of them. Sora shook his head and placed his face in his hands "Jesus Christ Van, Jesus Christ Van what the hell are you doing here? I thought you had disappeared forever"

Vanitas grinned "I never left you Sora, I will always be here in your head, no matter what you do I will always be here" then there was an insane laughter and Sora could only see darkness, then he saw them, his parents lying dead on the floor, a young boy was standing there with a knife in his hand. He turned to Sora; he morphed into Xion "Why did you kill mommy and daddy Sora? Why?"

Sora awoke screaming, Maximus and Aht had come over and it looked like they had been shaking him for the last ten minutes "Sora are you ok?" said Maximus concerned, Sora nodded and got out of bed "Yeah just a nightmare that's all" he said trying to mask the sheer terror he felt.

Neither of them looked convinced but didn't say anything "Well anyway dinner's ready" said Maximus as they made their way back to the kitchen. Sora went to the bathroom and splashed some water on his face, he checked himself in the mirror, "No amber eyes" he thought to himself, and satisfied he went back to the kitchen and sat down next to Zidane.

The five ate their meal in peace, Aht had done a tremendous job as always and they ate until they couldn't eat anymore, after washing up and letting their stomachs settle, Maximus gestured for them to follow him. They made their way into the void again and Sora felt that crushing feeling, he was able to stay standing but with some difficulty.

"Ok Sora today we will begin teaching you how to use Trance, now what Trance is exactly is an incredibly powerful ability that allows the user to use their power to its maximum potential, everybody has the ability to use Trance but there are levels to this ability that very few can ever manage, this is what is known as a Trance Transformation" said Maximus, he then transformed himself, his hair becoming wild and spiky and deep purple, his muscles became more lean and larger, he became surrounded in a purple aura and his eyes turned orange.

Sora stared on in disbelief as the others transformed, Zidane became covered in purple fur and became more animal like and his eyes turned red, Garnet's hair became blonde, her skin becoming pink with white glyph like symbols and her outfit changed into a white unitard with a low neckline and green sleeves and boots, Aht was similar to Maximus except her hair went dark red and she gave of a red aura

"Whoa" was all Sora could say as they powered down, "As you saw, it great changes your appearance but it also give you knew abilities as well as making you stronger, faster, heal quicker and a lot more agile" , Sora let out a whistle "You really expect me to be able to do that?" he said.

Maximus nodded "Yes I do in fact, the training will be very intense but the end result will be more than worth it, I can promise you that and with it you and Kairi will be stronger than you ever thought possible, you want to be able to protect he right?" he said, Sora pulled out a charm from his pocket, Kairi had made it for him a long time ago back when they were kids and he still kept it.

"Yeah more than anything"

A/N: Yeah so that's that, basically this chapter's purpose was to introduce the Trance ability as well as give clues as to who the villains will be, If you haven't already figured it out the first world we will be visiting will be based on Dredd (2012) so for those of you who haven't seen it (You should cause its awesome) there will be significant spoilers.

So as usual if you any questions, suggestions etc. give me a message, reviews are appreciated and I'll have the next chapter out as soon as possible, Chapter 6 Judgement Time: A Remedial Lesson with Judge Dredd?

Cheers and take care
