PrismRain13: okay, I just really wanted to get this out before I forgot. So yay I didn't wait forever to update!
Isa: I still don't understand why I have to be here.
PrismRain13: because I didn't want anyone here who would spoil the next word. And this is your punishment for being a total jerk in the last world!
Isa: *snarl* Prism owns absolutely nothing.
PrismRain13: Really? That's all you're gonna give me?!
Isa: Take it or leave it.
PrismRain13: ...fine.
Chapter 29: Demon Llama!
On a world not too far from the Land of the Dragons, Maleficent gazed out the window of a large, golden palace which had been recently redecorated with dark purple tapestries and terrifying sculptures. The witch still did not believe what Isa told her to be true. For as long as she had known Sora and Riku they had been extremely difficult to get rid of, she just did not trust Isa's judgement.
Dismissing the thought for now, Malefient wandered down the halls of the palace before coming upon an elegant purple living room where two members of her new inner circle were sitting, drinking tea. The first was the woman with the black permed hair and red dress, while the second was an old woman with pale wrinkled skin, wearing a dark purple dress with a plumage collar, matching headress and large purple earrings. She was currently lying on a long matching chaise as though she owned the palace, which as Maleficent had currently discovered, she did
"I must admit Yzma, you have done an excellent job claiming your world." Maleficent told the old woman as she sat down and drank her tea.
"Oh please Maleficent," Yzma stated, "What I have here is nothing compared to what you have accomplished."
"Have you already forgotten the mistake you've made in disposing the your Emperor?" The black-haired woman smirked. Yzma snorted in amusement as she rolled her eyes towards the woman.
"Honestly, Gothel you're judging me when all you've ever done is keep a girl locked up in a tower for eighteen years?" Yzma scoffed.
"Oh, if you only knew what wonders my little girl can do." Gothel smirked, until Maeficent cleared her throat and the two ladies turned their entire attention towards the witch.
"If the two of you have finished your bickering, I'd like to get down to business." The witch was about to continue before a new voice interrupted her.
"I made you ladies some fresh spinach puffs!" The voice called, as a black-haired muscular young man dressed in blue and yellow carrying a tray of puffs waltzed into the room. "You must be starving after your long trip!" The man set the tray of puffs down on the coffee table while Gothel and Maleficent each took one, looking at it curiously. Yzma rubbed her trembles soothingly and glared at the young man.
"Kronk," Yzma growled, "How many times do I have to tell you not to interrupt my meetings?" Kronk raised an eyebrow and shrugged.
"But this is your first one here." Kronk stated while Yzma face palmed.
"Let me guess; this is your right hand man." Gothel smirked. "The one who mixed up your poisons to kill your emperor."
"Well, I have to admit Kronk had me worried when he mixed up those poisons, but now that Kuzco is dead, all is forgiven." Yzma said as she lounged on the chaise, completely relaxed. However, when Kronk heard what she had to say, he started to shake. The tray dropped with a mighty crash. Maleficent, Gothel and Yzma turned their attention towards him as Kronk struggled to pick up what he had dropped.
"Ah. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's...heh. He's dead, all right. Heh heh. I mean, you can't get much deader than he - than he is right now. Unless, of course, we killed him again." Kronk stammered with an awkward smile on his face.
"I suppose..." Yzma raised an eyebrow.
"Hey, look, the royal dresser's here!" Kronk stated, walking over to where a plump man carrying multiple fabrics stood.
"Kronk... " Yzma called, watching him. Then she lifted herself off the chaise and strode over to him.
"I should tell you right now I'm kind of hard to fit."
"Kronk..."
"I wear a 66 long and a 31 waist." Upon the sight of the new empress the royal dresser gulped and started putting away his fabrics. He was unable to finish as Yzma pushed him off the ledge, causing him to release a loud scream. She then turned her attention back to Kronk.
"Kuzco is dead, right?" Yzma demanded, "Tell me Kuzco's dead. I need to hear these words."
"Do you need to hear all those words exactly?" Kronk asked
"He's still alive?!" Yzma exclaimed angrilly through her teeth.
"Well, he's not as dead as we would've hoped. I just thought I'd give you the heads-up in case Kuzco ever came back." Kronk shifted awkwardly watching as Yzma grew angrier by the second.
"He can't come back!" Yzma roared, grabbing a firm hold on Kronk's shirt ad pulling him down to her level. "You and I are going out to find him! If he talks, we are through! Now let's move!" When Yzma finally composed herself, she looked up to find Maleficent and Gothel were staring at her, then Gothel burst out laughing.
"Oh, if only you could see your face!" Gothel laughed, "You look ridiculous!" Yzma snarled at Gothel before snapping her fingers and a small army of heartless appeared. They all resembled black jaguars with yellow eyes and purple paws and tail tip with the heartless symbol on their foreheads.
"Find Kuzco!" Yzma ordered the heartless, "Search everywhere! And bring him back here so I can finish him off!" The heartless bowed in respect before vanishing through corridors of darkness. The old woman began to pull Kronk out of the place, but not before turning back to Gothel, smirking. "Oh, and I'd do something about those wrinkles if I were you, Gothel dear." As soon as Yzma and Kronk were gone Gothel quickly pulled out a mirror and started examining her face.
"I don't have any wrinkles, do I?" Gothel asked Maleficent who stood up from her seat.
"Only a few. I think it's a sign you go and return to your darling daughter, Rapunzel was it?" Maleficent smirked as she vanished through a corridor of darkness. Watching her leave, Gothel put her hands on her hips and pouted.
"If you ask me Yzma is one to talk."
~*KHIII*~
Meanwhile, back on the Gummi Ship, Sora and his team were travelling towards the next world. At the wheel was Mickey with Donald and Goofy on either side of him. Sora and Max were sitting together, while Lea and Riku were sitting across from them. Kairi and West had just emerged from the back of the ship now back in their regular clothes, out of Qui Gong's wedding dressers.
"Man, does it feel good to get out of that dress! I don't know how some people survive in those things." West breathed.
"Oh, come on you two were taking down that heartless with no problem in those things!" Lea smirked.
"They were still hard and uncomfortable to fight in, Lea." Kairi retorted. Before the fire-head could reply, the dashboard started to beep, signalling the approach of a world's atmosphere. Mickey, who was driving looked straight ahead noticing a world with a jungle, large palace, and hiltop village.
"Looks like a new world," Mickey stated, "Get ready to land soon everyone." Excitement overtaking him, Sora moved in between Goofy and Mickey to take a good look at the world.
"Wonder who lives here." Sora wondered. "Do you think the heartless are there yet your majesty?"
"I'm not sure Sora, but I guess we'll find out." Mickey replied, the Gummi Ship entering the world.
Kuzco Empire
In the middle of a hilltop village, nine beams of light rained down. then disappeared to reveal the team of nine world-travellers. The group stayed silent for awhile, taking in the sights of the night sky, lush lawns and all the huts decorating the hill. The village was quiet and no one seemed to be around.
"Gawrsh, think anyone's home?" Goofy wondered out loud as he and Max looked around the village.
"It's pretty late, maybe everyone went to bed already." Kairi suggested. Mickey nodded his head while everyone looked around the village again. Riku looked up at the hill, noticing that a faint glow was coming from the one hut on the top of the hill.
"Looks like someone's home up there. They'll probably be the only people who want to talk this late." Riku stated while the group looked up the hill.
"Good call Riku," complimented Sora, "Maybe they'll let us stay the night; I'm pretty tired." The rest of the group nodded in agreement, finally noticing how tired they really were.
"Same here, man." Lea stretched, "What I wouldn't give for a warm fire and comfy bed right now." Sora rolled his eyes towards Lea, but said nothing as he and the rest of the team made their way up the hill. The walk was peaceful without a single heartless in sight. No one said a word, as they were all tired and enjoying the silence. Soon they arrived at the top of the hill where one of the natives was sitting on the edge of a small stone pond. He was an overweight man in a green hand-made poncho, sandals and a brown hat. He had a pet llama who was grazing with a cart still attached to its back. Sora looked towards the man and noticed that he looked sad about something. Without a second thought, the teenager walked over to the man. Feeling that he wasn't alone anymore, the man lifted his head up and looked at the world-travellers with a confused expression on his face.
"Sir, are you alright?" Sora asked while the man stood up and whipped away barely visible tears.
"Oh, it's nothing," he said, "I'm just tired from my trip up to the city. Who are you? I don't think I've ever seen any of you around here before."
"I'm Sora, and these are my friends," the young Keyblade Master replied indicating the group behind him, "Riku, Kairi, Donald, Goofy, Mickey, Max, Lea and West."
"It's nice to meet all of you, my name's Pacha. I'm the village leader." Pacha replied with kindness as he shook everyone's hand. "So where are you all from?" At his question, the entire group tensed up and looked around at each other. No one said anything until Mickey stepped forward.
"We're from kinda far away." The king said, "We've just been travelling for a long time so it's hard to say exactly where."
"I see. Do you need anywhere to stay? I'm sure my wife won't mind; she loves house guests." Pacha asked and nodded his understanding.
"Do you even have enough room? We wouldn't want to be an inconvenience to you or your family." Kairi asked while Pacha shook his head.
"No, but no one else is going to be much help this late at night. And we have more than enough blankets." The group looked between one another, the final decision.
"Gawrsh, thanks Pacha that's awful nice of you." Goofy said, speaking for everyone.
"So, I'll just put my pet llama here away then we can head on in." Pacha smiled, before noticing that one of the bags on his cart was moving. Donald was the first one to notice and started poking the bag.
"Whacha got in here, fish?" The duck asked while Pacha shook his head and watched the bag.
"I don't even remember this bag," Pacha stated while he undid it. And out of the bag to everyone's surprise emerged another dizzy black and red-furred llama. "Where'd you come from, little guy?" Pacha asked
"No touchy." The llama slurred. Everyone jumped in surprise at hearing the llama talk. West yelped and clung on to Riku's arm. Lea stumbled backwards into Mickey causing him and Max to fall to the ground, Goofy held up his sheild, Sora stood protectively in front of Kairi and Donald jumped into Pacha's arms, shaking.
"Aah! Demon llama!" Donald screamed pointing at the talking llama. The black-furred llama shook his head and looked around, panicking.
"Demon llama?! Where?" the llama demanded before coming face-to-face with Pacha's llama. Both screamed before the talking llama ran out of the bag and slammed face-first into Goofy's shield, then stumbled backwards.
"Uh, sorry Mr. Demon Llama." Goofy said sheepishly looking down at the llama.
"Ow, my head..." the llama moaned in pain. Pacha dropped Donald on the ground before cautiously approaching the llama.
"Okay, demon llama. Just take it easy. We mean you no harm." the man said slowly and calmly. The llama shook his head, shaking off the dizzyness.
"What are you talking about" the llama asked until he noticed Pacha, staggered to his hooves and glared "- oh, wait. I know you. You're that whiny peasant." Pacha gasped as he seemed to notice something about the llama as well.
"Emperor Kuzco?"
PrismRain13: so this world's based on the Disney movie The Emperor's New Groove (seriously hilarious movie!) and Gothel's from Disney's Tangled.
