Kairi, Aladdin, Abu and Iago managed to get out of the underground caves, reaching the back of the metal fortress, but there was something that surprised them greatly: Much of the place was frozen, with traces of frost all over the area. It was clear that Shiva had something to do with this, but they wasted no time and entered the base through a door that was frozen.

Trying to make as little noise as possible, they advanced through the corridor, until they found a crossroads. There they heard a noise that something was breaking ice nearby. What they didn't know was that behind a corner there were two purple armor with halberds, one standing guard, the other trying to break the ice that seemed to block a door, all being heard by the group from the crossing.

Suddenly a shot rang out from the other side, and the door swung open, revealing a huge red armor with a massive shield on one side and a rotating barrel instead of a forearm on the other. When this being crossed the gate, the two armors crossed as well, leaving the colossus alone.

The group tried to make as little noise as possible, but an ice stalactite on the ceiling cracked and fell to the ground near them, causing the noise to catch the armor's attention and begin to move towards the corner to find out what it was.

"A Sentinel approaches you," Kairi heard, to her surprise, Shiva's voice in her ears, as if communicating with her through the cold of the area. "You are no match for him head on, hide!"

Realizing the severity of the situation, the group searched for a hiding place, finding a blind spot in the corridor opposite, and the four of them went into hiding. There, they heard how the Sentinel advanced, until he reached the crossroads, where he looked from side to side, soon finding the fallen ice.

"Argh, desruc eci! Tihw esoht sdrads gnillaf dna siht desruc dloc, m'I gnireah snoitaniculla!" The Sentinel said in a demonic tone, as he turned to either side of the crossroads, guarding each corridor.

"What did you say?" Iago asked in a low voice.

"Shh, you'll get us caught," Kairi said leaning her head a little to see in person what the huge Sentinel looked like, seeing that a frontal attack was everything, except clearly, a good idea.

"How do we get rid of that guard?" Aladdin asked, peering out carefully.

"You were lucky, he did not see you," Shiva's voice rang in his ears.

"Wha-" tried to ask Iago, but Abu covered his beak with both palms, while the parrot looked quite irritated.

"I thought you would need some help in here, but just a little," Shiva's voice said. "Hey Kairi, doesn't that Keyblade of yours affect hearts? Maybe you could free his heart and get rid of him in the process. "

Kairi thought about that for a moment, she materialized her Keyblade and watched the Sentinel until he turned his back on them. Taking advantage of that moment, Kairi advanced quickly without making a noise and as if trying to get a key into a lock, she struck with the tip on the Sentinel's back, causing a shine where it hit. The Sentinel jerked a little before collapsing to his knees, as his imprisoned heart left him, soon being followed by the soul sphere, banishing the monster.

"Well, I think that will do for when we meet one of those, but what now?" Iago asked.

"We should continue, but trying to avoid attracting attention," Aladdin said.

"Well, go ahead. You are the street rat, after all. "

Kairi raised a confused brow, but decided not to ask and followed Aladdin, as he crawled along the wall until he reached the corner, where he found the door the Sentinel passed through. The group opened the door and went into another corridor, but they did not expect an Armor Knight guarding the corridor, who turned and found the intruders, lowering his halberd against them.

"Leave it to me!" Kairi said stepping forward.

The Armor Knight advanced slowly towards Kairi, always keeping the halberd pointed at her to keep her away. Kairi tried to attack him, but he blocked with the stick of the spear and tried to impale her with the blade of the weapon, but she stepped aside avoiding the edge and managed to hit her enemy, causing him to retreat. The monster then raised the halberd and tried to split it in two with the blade, but Kairi leaped backwards avoiding the cut and then leaped forward, striking him several times until he knocked him completely down, vanishing and freeing the trapped heart and soul.

Kairi breathed in catching her breath, seeing the way clear.

"I think it would be better to look before entering a site," Iago said.

"This time, I'm with the parrot," Kairi said.

"Sorry, I'll keep that in mind," Aladdin said with a nervous smile and putting his hand on the back of his neck.

The four advanced through the corridors, halls, and floors of the frozen fortress, eluding the Sentinels as much as necessary and eliminating any Fallen who might raise the alarm as soon as they were discovered. As they advanced, they saw that the ice had affected not only the structure, but also the Mecanicle machines, which, being frozen, could not move freely, which gave them an advantage. They were also surprised to see some Stone Giants and Specters around the fortress, but they let the ice distract them.

They soon came to another hallway, thankfully empty, but Iago stopped.

"What happens?" Aladdin asked.

"Can't you hear?" Iago said, resting his ear against a wall. "It seems like you hear something."

All three supported their ears, listening to two voices. One was from a woman and the other from a man, which Aladdin recognized.

"It is the voice of Mecanicles!" Aladdin exclaimed in a low voice.

"But who is the other one?" Iago asked.

"Shh! Shut up!" Kairi said for them to be quiet.

The group fell silent and listened to the voices.

"B-b-b-b-but what's going on here?" Mecanicles asked, teeth chattering from the cold.

"I have no idea, Mechanicles, but there is ice everywhere," Said the female voice on the other side.

On the other side of the wall, a secondary laboratory, Mecanicles and Salome were talking, as they tried to endure the cold.

"I k-k-k-k-know that! You can s-s-s-s-see it!" Mecanicles exclaimed with his hands on his arms. "But that's imp-p-p-p-p-possible! We're in the middle of the desert, Salome!"

"You think I don't know?" Salome asked the crazy mechanic. "Most likely this is a joke from the Ice Eidolon Shiva."

"Vvvv-ok, but what does aq -qqqqq- here do from the beginning?" Mecanicles asked.

"I don't know, maybe hide from some Eidolon hunter," Salome guessed. "And stop chattering! In the end you're going to get cold! "

"The ffff-cold doesn't ppp-stick!"

"Whatever you say," She said, and became thoughtful.

"And what do you think about now?" Mecanicles asked.

"I think of our guests, the genie, and that soldier upstairs," She said. "I'm afraid the room is not heated for them. I'm afraid they will freeze from this cold. "

"And that? What's up cccc-me? " The mad genius asked.

"Stop chattering, okay!"

The group moved away from the wall, ceasing to listen.

"'The genie and that soldier.'" Aladdin said. "It must be Genie and Razoul!"

" Razoul is going to freeze if we don't get him out of here!" Kairi said.

The four of them ran upstairs, arriving at what looked like the main laboratory, also frozen. Looking around, they soon found Razoul chained to a wall, freezing cold. The four of them went to him and began to release him.

"You are the last person I expected to see here, Street Rat," Razoul said, noticing the cold in her voice.

"I am also glad to see you," Aladdin said.

"Where is Genio?" Kairi asked.

"Here!" The genie's voice sounded, but they looked and saw nothing. "Here in the foggy crystal ball!"

They soon saw a crystal ball on a pedestal on a table. Kairi picked up the ball and removed the fog, seeing Genie's face. Then she threw the ball to the ground, breaking it, and releasing it, soon donning an eskimo suit, snow beak and all.

"Ugh, how glad I am to see you!" Said the genie happily. "First they put me in that narrow sphere, and then everything freezes, in the middle of the desert!"

"Well, about the ice, it's Shiva's fault," Kairi said.

"Who?" Razoul asked rubbing his wrists after being released.

" Shiva, the Ice Queen," Genius said, now disguised as a professor in a white coat. "An Eidolon of ice capable of freezing anything," He said and looked at the ice. "Yes, all this has its mark."

"She wanted to help, but I think she got out of hand a bit," Kairi said.

"A little? We are lucky that we are not ice cubes because of this cold! " Iago said.

"But it has put all the guards on our nerves with so much ice, making it possible for us to get here," Aladdin said. "But now we have to get out of here, before they discover us."

"Too late, Aladd -ddd- din!" The voice of Mechanicles sounded around.

Without warning, a hatch opened below them, causing everyone except for Iago and Genius to fall, but they soon followed.

They all went down ramps to what looked like a dark hangar. The group got up in pain from the fall, and soon Iago and Genius arrived.

"Where we are?" Aladdin asked.

"This appears to be an underground hangar, and very large," Genie said.

"You said it, Genie!" The voice of Mecanicles sounded out of the darkness.

Soon several lights came on, showing a huge scorpion-shaped robot, except that instead of clamps it had barrels, one single and one rotating, the stinger being a thin barrel. Mecanicles was piloting the mechanical spawn from the center of the robotic body in a cockpit protected by glass.

"This time you have outdone yourself, Mecanicles," Aladdin said.

"Thanks, Aladdin!" Mechanicles said from inside. "This is my greatest work! It also insulates from the cold, which is a relief knowing that everything is frozen.

"Do not tell me. We haven't even noticed," Kairi said.

"And this would not have been possible if it hadn't been for us," Salome said, about the robo-scorpion, floating on a broomstick.

"And you are?" Kairi asked Salome.

"I am Salome, great dark witch, and one of the Three Dark Wives," Salome introduced herself.

"Those wives are the ones in command of the Fallen. And trust me, they're not even close to clean wheat! " Genius said crossing his arms with an angry face.

"Thanks for the summary," Salome said and looked at Kairi," Mmm, Morrigan said you were taller."

" Morrigan?" Kairi asked.

"You know, the succubus you found in Radiant Garden days ago," She said, and Kairi remembered that incident.

"Be careful, these beings don't plan anything good with you, that's for sure!" Genie said.

"For my heart?" Kairi asked upon hearing the warning.

"No, they don't want your heart of light," He rectified the genius. "They want to end your life!"

"What?!"

" Exactly, my sweet genius," Salome said. "You may not know it, but your mere existence is a danger to our lord, and to maintain his own existence, we have to eliminate you."

Kairi stared at her confused by this information, but became serious and invoked her Keyblade. "Well try it!"

"Oh, I like girls with character," Salome said," Mecanicles, all yours."

"It was time!" Mecanicles said, wiping a small spot on the glass, before setting the robo-scorpion in motion. Don't worry about the cold. My robo-scorpion works from fire, so I plan to roast you like chickens! " He said as the pincer cannon pointed at them.

" Razoul, Abu, Iago, take cover!" Aladdin said.

The three of them lingered in a corner of the hangar, while the scorpion's large cannon fired a blaze at Aladdin, which he avoided by leaping to the side. Kairi tried to take advantage of her distraction with him, but the rotating cannon started firing fireballs repeatedly, making her run avoiding the fireballs.

"Let's see what you think of this," Mecanicles mentioned pointing the tail towards Aladdin. This fired a sphere of fire that Aladdin avoided, but caused an explosion that left the point of impact on fire.

Kairi and Aladdin parted on either side of the robo-scorpion, seeing who would go first. Without any surprise, it began to turn towards Aladdin and fired a flare at him, being narrowly avoided.

"No, you fool! Forget him! The girl is more important! Take care of her! " Salome yelled from the sky.

"OK OK! Don't be so bossy! At the end of the day I'm supposed to want to end Aladdin," Mecanicles spun the robot, this time facing Kairi, now firing blasts of fire, forcing Kairi to roll to the side avoiding the fire bullets. From her post, she saw the tail pointed at her, and she started running, avoiding the shot, and the subsequent explosion.

Despite being at a disadvantage, she wondered why she had to use that attack pattern when she could fire like crazy with all three cannons. Genie observed the situation and soon saw what was happening. "Hey guys! I already have it! Those cannons get too hot to fire and you have to wait until they cool enough for another shot! "

"Oh shut up!" Salome said with a gesture, and soon Genie had his mouth covered by an iron plate.

Mecanicles kept shooting Kairi, and when he got in range, Aladdin, with the flare, fire-retardant bullets, and firebomb in a row, until Kairi thought she might try to do something with the cannons. Thus, Kairi decided to try a Blizzaga spell against the cannon that Mecanicles intended to fire now, freezing the cannon, but it fired anyway, breaking the ice, and almost hitting Kairi with the flames.

"Nice try, but you'll need more than just ice to block my cannons!" Mecanicles said, using the rotating cannon against Kairi as she dodged the projectiles.

The situation was quite precarious, but he thought that he could try to see the power of Shiva this time, but he would need time to focus on this power," Aladdin, distract him as you can!"

Aladdin understood and stood next to the robot. "Hey, Mecanicles ! Why don't you look for me? After all, I'm the one who messes up your plans, not her. On second thought, anyone would spoil them," He said, taunting the scientist.

"You damn beetle!" Mecanicles said angrily, pointing the tail cannon at Aladdin.

"Hey, you forgot to clean something!" Genius yelled after removing the plate from his mouth.

"The fact that?" Mecanicles asked looking around.

"This!" Genius said pouring oil on the glass, blocking his vision.

"Damn, this is not funny!" The mad inventor said, accidentally activating the tail cannon, firing the fireball at Aladdin. Fortunately, Genie, transformed into a firefighter, rescued Aladdin at the last moment, avoiding the explosion.

"Thanks genius."

"It was nothing."

Kairi, taking advantage of the time, managed to channel the new power into her fully. As with Chocobo, his clothes changed because of Shiva's magic. Now she seemed to be wearing some kind of light female armor, entirely made of ice, even her boots and gloves were ice, and she even had a matching icy tiara. Curiously, she did not feel cold anywhere, despite the ice that surrounded her.

"Look who Shiva ran into," Salome commented in a low voice looking at the ceiling sideways.

"Wow," Genius said, with binoculars and a book of powers and forms, looking at it every two seconds. "That is new."

"That won't do you any good!" Mecanicles said after cleaning, in record time, the glass and placing the robo-scorpion facing it, pointing its flamethrower at it, shooting the flames from it.

Kairi managed to avoid the flare, gliding through the air, as if her feet were floating on the ground. Before she ended up stunned by this, she noticed that the robot was now aiming the rotating barrel at her, ready to fire. Kairi launched a Blizzaga into that cannon that ended up freezing the cannon, even more than before. And when he tried to fire, without warning the cannon exploded, rendering him totally useless.

"How?!" Mecanicles asked, wondering what had happened. "Now you'll see!" Then he fired the fireball at her from the tail, but Kairi narrowly avoided the explosion, but when Mecanicles prepared to fire his flamethrower, she froze that same cannon with Blizzaga, causing it to explode, now leaving two less cannons. "This is not possible!"

Apparently, Shiva's powers not only gave him that appearance, but also increased his powers and ice spells, which was really useful in that situation.

"Hey, Mecanicles!" Aladdin screamed, catching the inventor's attention. "What happens? I thought it was your masterpiece. "

"You'll see, when the tail gun cools down, you'll know," Mecanicles said, pointing his tail at Aladdin.

"And why not now?" He groped Aladdin.

"If you insist," Mecanicles said and fired the cannon. But there was no shot. "Hey?" But it was an explosion that destroyed much of the tail. It turned out that Kairi froze the tail cannon during Aladdin's distraction. "Oh, this is already too much! It's over!" Mecanicles said turning the robot, looking towards Kairi. "If I can't burn you, I'm going to squash you like a cockroach!"

"That would be interesting," Salome muttered from the air.

Mecanicles put his robot at full speed and the robo-scorpion pounced on Kairi, trying to run her over, but she ducked and began to slide towards him, passing under the robot, and at the same time, touching the ground with the keyblade, freezing the ground, and thus causing that the robot could not be controlled, and finally it crashed against the wall, being totally destroyed.

Salome slapped her face with her hand at such a disaster. "Amateurs," She said and took off.

Mecanicles staggered out of the robot, falling headlong to the ground, being stunned by the tremendous blow, having trouble getting up, and babbling incoherently for a moment before falling backward to the ground.

Kairi breathed in relief when she saw that the battle was over.

"Congratulations!" Genius said disguised as a referee. "We have a champion by icy KO!

"Well done, Kairi," Aladdin said approaching her.

"It was nothing," Kairi thanked with a smile. "The truth is that it has not been easy. Do you have to deal with things like this? "

"You do not even imagine it. We are almost getting used to this," Iago said as he, Abu and Razoul approached.

"I must admit, miss, you've done a good job," Razoul said.

"Hey, what about us?!" Genie asked.

"Don't get me off my tongue, okay?" Razoul warned. "I've had enough problems today because of you."

"It will never change," Aladdin said.

"And the witch?" Kairi asked.

"That witch took off when she saw Mechanicles screw it up all the way. We certainly won't see her again for a long time," Iago said.

Meanwhile, Mecanicles regained consciousness, and began to curse what had happened seeing what was left of his machine.

"Well, now that this is over, how about we search for that treasure that Mecanicles hides," Iago asked.

"The truth is that-" Suddenly there was an explosion. What's more, there were more explosions that seemed to affect the entire structure of the building. "What happens?"

Genie disguised himself as a scientist and did various calculations. "By my calculations ..." Genie began in a ridiculous voice. "… It seems to be the extreme contrast of cold and heat that this place is suffering. It seems to cause severe explosions due to overheating of ice, which causes damage to the structure of the base, which causes more explosions that do more damage, and so on until end in a final deflagration that will disintegrate everything in and near this place. "

The group looked confused by her explanation and Kairi finally said. "Translation?"

"This whole place is about to burst, if we don't get out of here at the word of we will end up being part of the environment forever!" Genie said altered and turning his head into a light alarm. "EVACUATION! EVACUATION!"

"Time to put land in the middle!" Mecanicles said rushing towards a hidden door, and after crossing it, there was another explosion and some debris blocked the exit.

"Great, now we are trapped!" Iago said and looked at Kairi. "Couldn't you use your super powers to freeze this place more and give us time?"

At that moment Kairi recovered her normal clothes, and shrugged. "Sorry, time limit."

"Well, what a utility it has that power ! "Cursed the parrot, when there was another explosion and more debris fell. "So, what can we do now?" Iago asked.

"By asking and complaining you get nowhere!" Razoul said to Iago.

A new explosion caused a hole in a wall, but it was too high for anyone who could not fly to reach. Fortunately, soon the Magic Carpet appeared there and flew up to them.

"Rug! How glad to see you!" Aladdin said.

"The first time I'm glad to see a flying doormat!" Razoul commented.

Genius became a fighter pilot and sat next to Carpet, "Alright, let's stop kidding and get on board! This is getting very hot!" Everyone climbed onto the Magic Carpet, balancing to fit everyone inside. "Well, get ready for takeoff! 3, 2, 1, Go!" Suddenly the carpet reached full speed and flew across the hole, speeding through the corridors of the fortress that was exploding at times. The speed was such, that they even ended up taking a Sentinel ahead, which was grabbing Genie by surprise.

"Tahw si eht gnineam fo sith?" Asked the Sentinel in confusion.

"Thanks, but we don't want stowaways, thanks!" Genie said and with a heavy hammer threw the Sentinel out of Carpet. Curious. Tough, but nothing is understood," Genius commented jokingly, as if there was a time for that now!

Soon Alfombra and Genie pulled everyone out of the fortress, which was exploding violently, until finally there was a tremendous explosion that could be seen for miles, and luckily none of them were swallowed, grateful for it

"I wonder what happened to Mecanicles," Kairi commented looking at the tremendous explosion.

Mecanicles was coming out of the canyon, completely covered in sand and smoke. After catching his breath, he looked up at the sky, seeing the smoke billowing from his base's explosion. "The last time I have a relationship with foreigners. Scooter!" He screamed and soon a flying beetle robot appeared near him. Mecanicles climbed onto it and soon flew out of the place. "I swear that one of these days I will get revenge, Aladdin. Someday! From you and that brat! I SWEAR!"

Soon they were all in the Agrabah palace, where they explained to the Sultan about everything that had happened, giving thanks that everything had ended well.

"Well dear, what are you planning to do now?" The Sultan asked.

"I may decide to leave, and continue traveling," Kairi said.

"And is it possible to know why you are on this trip, if not without discretion?" Iago asked.

"The truth is that I am traveling to find out my origins, and it seems that following these beings is the only way to find the truth," Kairi said.

"I understand. I would do the same in your place," Aladdin said. "The truth is that I did not know my father.

"Well, well, let's not get sad today, everything has turned out well. At least I suppose you will clean up a bit before leaving. Admittedly, you are all a mess!" The Sultan said, recording everyone's current state.

"Well, I think another bath will not hurt. As long as Genius stays out of the palace," Kairi said.

"It never fails!" Genius said crossing his arms with a bitter face. "You catch them by accident and they mark you as a pervert!" He said before hitting a fart looking away.

Kairi smiled shaking her head at the current situation.

Two subjects were gathered in a dark throne room, with blue flames coming from chandeliers on the walls, guarded by inert demonic armor acting as immobile defenders of the room, an empty solitary throne, decorating the repose with two statues, one of an angel and another of a demon, with several banners of a red bat on both sides of the throne. One of them, the succubus Morringan, turned to the side.

"Wow, look who just came over," Morrigan said, and soon Salome approached both of them. "How have things been for you in Agrabah, dear?"

"To talk about it!" She said angrily. "Turns out that brat was there, helping that street rat and mindless genius."

"Wait, you say the girl was there, in Agrabah?" Morrigan asked, surprised.

"Indeed!" Salome replied. "And because of him, our deal with Mecanicles has been ruined!"

"And how has that been possible?" The second subject asked, a hulking white robot with a red lens on its head," Explain."

"It turns out that the brat has acquired the power of Shiva. But not to invoke her, but to imbue herself with its powers," She said.

"So it's true," Said the robot.

"Do you know something we don't know, Master Brain?" Morrigan asked.

"As you know, our foray into Twilight Town ended badly," He said and they nodded. "Well, after analyzing the data, I have seen that it was she who killed the Caudillo, and this time, using powers similar to that of the Chocobo."

"Are you hinting that his powers have awakened?" Salome asked.

"Maybe, but not completely. She is not used to those powers, but if this continues, in the end she will acquire the powers that she acquired by parental inheritance," Master Brain said and looked at Salome. "Have you noticed if she has any ideas about her past or the origin of her powers?"

"Yes I did, and she's even more confused than anyone in her place. She only knows that we want her dead for our husband. Nothing else."

"Well, the less I know the better."

"And where is Medusa for a change?" Morrigan asked.

"She is still on her assignment in that world. It was not difficult for her to convince those 'gods' to have the Fallen close by. And for sure, it will be the end of the brat. "

"How do you know?" Salome asked.

"It seems to follow the trail of the Fallen across the worlds," Master Brain said. "If my calculations are correct, she will soon reach where Medusa is. Furthermore, he has told me that he has acquired a 'weapon' with which to cause as much chaos as possible if necessary. "

"I hope it works. If not, we will have serious problems," Salome said.
