Alf Meets Kingdom Hearts: Maleficent!

When we last left off, Lynn had just woken up from what seemed to be a strange dream. Or wasit? She began to look around frantically. "Brian? Jake? Alf? Sora? Kairi? Anyone? He-hello? Oh! Oh, no! Please no! WHERE IS EVERYONE? GUYS!"

"Hey Lynn! Over here!" "Jake?" "What's going on?" asked Jake. "Where are we?" asked Brian.

"Brian is that you?" asked Lynn. "Uh-huh!" "Lynnmiester!" "Alf! You're safe too! "Hey guys!" "Sora?" "Yup!" "But…how'd we end up here?" wondered Brian.

"I don't know! Last thing I remembered was the Heartless knocking me out, and then I found myself in some kinda weird, dreamlike realm! Next thing I know, I ended up here!" replied Lynn.

"Us too!" everyone replied in unison. "Whoa! That's weird!" said Lynn. "Wait a minute…where's Kairi" asked Brian.

"I thought she was with you!" exclaimed Lynn.

"HELP!"

"That's her! That's Kairi!" exclaimed Sora.

"HELP ME!"

"Something's happened!" said Brian.

"PLEASE! HELP!"

"Look! There she is!" shouted Sora.

They looked up and gasped. Poor Kairi was trapped in a giant cage that was dangling high above the ground by a heavy chain that was attached to the ceiling! "HANG ON KID! WE'RE COMING!" shouted Alf. "Hurry!" Sora called to the others. They all began running towards the cage.

They had just reached the winch that raised and lowered the cage, and were just about to turn it when… "I wouldn't do that if I were you my children!" a sinister, threatening voice warned them. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked around, startled. "I know that voice!" exclaimed Sora. "It's—"

Suddenly there was a giant plume of blackish-purple smoke. Soon it died down. Then everyone gasped. There, standing right in front of them, was a tall, green skinned woman wearing a long black cloak, and a large black headdress that resembled two long, pointed horns. She glared at them, her yellowish-green eyes gleaming menacingly.

"Maleficent!" shouted Sora, Donald and Goofy in unison. The trio summoned their weapons. "Wh-who's Maleficent? Who is she?" asked Brian nervously. "She's a witch!" replied Donald, hopping up in down in anger. He was very cross. "A no-good, rotten, lowdown witch!"

Maleficent laughed evilly.

"You can put away your weapons! I'm not looking for a fight! Besides, I already know about your hard-won battles against the powers of darkness! I would not stand a chance against a great Keyblade Master such as you!" Sora and the furries lowered their weapons. "What do you want?" demanded Sora.

"A favor."

"A…favor?" Goofy repeated.

"Yes. Those fools, the group known as Organization XIII, stole my source of power: my Heartless! They also took one of my spell books, and tore out its pages.

"Without that book, my powers over the Heartless are gone.

"The pages are now scattered about the worlds. If you manage return all the lost pages, AND bring back enough Heartless back to my side, then I will release your precious Kairi."

"Wait! Why should we trust you?" asked Sora. The others nodded in agreement.

"You needn't worry. I'm a woman of my word." The others looked around worriedly. "Oh, and while you and the others were sleeping Sora, I managed to call forth some old friends of Kairi and yours!" She opened a large door, and out stepped two figures. One looked kind of like Sora, except that his hair was lighter and a bit spikier; and the other was a young blonde girl wearing a long white dress.

"Hi!" the girl waved shyly. "Roxas! Naminé!" Sora exclaimed in a combination of surprise and happiness. He ran up and hugged them both. Then he turned to Maleficent. "How'd you—" "Amazing, isn't it? While you slumbered, I decided to remove half of your and Kairi's hearts, and with them I reintroduced these two into the world.

"After nearly two years of being bonded to your hearts, they finally have a chance to be free!

"And their names are not the only things you remember about them!"

"Huh?" asked Sora

"You may remember some past events you had with them! May come in handy!

"But be forewarned: These two can only be out until you have finished your mission.

"Once that is accomplished, they shall have to return to the place from whence they came! Understand?" Everyone nodded.

"Good! You have exactly 10 days to complete your quest! Now get going!" And with that, she disappeared the same way she had arrived. Sora then turned to the others. "We'd better get moving! I'll do introductions later!"

Everyone nodded and ran out of the room. But not before Sora turned back towards Kairi. "Kairi, remember what you said before? I'm always with you, too! I'll come back to you. I promise!"

"I know you will!" They smiled at each other. "Alright let's go." said Sora. "!0 day to complete or mission... What does she think this is? An RPG" He sighed. "Never mind! Let's just be on our way." "

"Hang on just a second please." said Alf. He ran out of the room at top speed! A split second later, he was back again, wearing a blue cap and uniform!

"Orbit Guard # 76513: Gordon Shumway, reporting for duty…officers!" Everyone stared at him. "It's a little thing we used to do whenever we were assigned for patrol duty!" "How-how did you—" asked Roxas. "Plot hole!" was the alien's reply.

They all just kept staring at him. After a few moments… "OK, whatever." Sora finally responded, as he shook his head and sighed. Next he turned to Naminé, who was looking uneasy: not to mention a little down.

Sorawas concerned. "Naminé? You OK? What's wrong" "I-I don't know if I really should to go with y—Not after that day over a year ago." "Naminé?"

"Of course!" said Alf. "I knew it! I just KNEW it! She was your girlfriend wasn't she?"

"Huh" replied Sora.

"You heard. See that's your problem—you trust girls way too much.

"You need to get out more. Perhaps take up lessons on how to find a girl who won't cheat on you?" "Cheat on me?"

"Alf..." said Lynn.

"I mean you start dating a girl and then it leads to this."

"Alf…"

"Seriously, you need to reconsider who you go out with. Take my girlfriend, Rhonda, for example. She loved me and only me; nobody el—"

"Alf! Shut up!" "I was just saying…" "Alf, can't you see that Naminé is upset?" Brian pointed out.

"What do you mean she's upse—Oh!"

"I—" now Naminé was starting to get really upset. "Sora, please… I—"

"It was you PARENTS wasn't it?" Alf gasped in shock. "Gee, I'm sorry. And here I was blaming you."

"Uh...parents? I don't..."

"I really don't think that's quite what she meant." replied Jake.

Sora laid a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"Naminé," he said kindly, "no one blames you for what happened. Although...I can't really recall what it is that you did."

"Do I really have to bring it up?"

"No. No...you don't. Not if you don't want to. Don't worry Naminé." Sora replied, giving the downcast girl a tender hug.

"It's OK. You just need to let go of the past. The more you keep it inside, the more miserable you'll feel. Soon you may not even know the meaning of 'Happiness'!"

Alf produced a pocket dictionary from his…well...his pocket of course. "If she forgets i could look it up!

"Alf, I think I know what the word means, thank you very much!" Naminé retorted.

"Alright! Sheesh!" Alf replied. "Try to point something out to someone, and they get on your case about it!" he added to himself.

Naminé turned back to Sora. "OK. I'll go with you."

"That's the spirit! Let's get going! Donald, teleport us back to Traverse Town, will ya?"

"You bet!" the duck replied

"Whoa!" Alf began to say. "W-wait a mi—"

Too late! They were heading back to town. And they were ready to start their mission once-and-for-all!

Well that concludes chapter 12! Join me next chapter, as our heroes continue their journey; this time they're gonna come face-to-face with a certain video game icon! Hint: It's not Mario!
