"Magic has it's own ability. Something that allow you to do the extraordinary, the endless possibilities. When you use it do you know what you do with it? Or do you just use it? I on my opinion would answer it as...neither. Why? 'Cause you need to try using it in order to know how to use it. So basically, there's no right or wrong with magic. You just need to get the hang of it." -Rhian/Korinu
"So, Rhian tell me about yourself. Is there any reason why your wandering around here?" The King asked as he stirred the wheel of the Gummi Ship.
"Yeah, I'm looking for my friends. We got separated since our home got swallowed into darkness by those creepy heartless." Rhian said, he sat next to the king. He took a good look at the view from the window admiring the space from the outside.
"Oh dear did it really got swallowed up completely?" Mickey asked, but still keeping his eye on the road.
"No just our island. The rest of the world didn't get swallowed thank god." Rhian was happy to even mention it.
"Well that's good. How are your friends and what are they like?" Mickey asked.
"My friends are pretty cool. Taishin is pretty rough and slick but a cool guy, Raymond is kinda cocky and bit hardheaded. Nini's really nice and she's a selfless person. Yume is-" Rhian got cut off by Mickey.
"Wait! You know Yume?" Mickey asked.
"Yeah, she's my best friend. Why?" Rhian was confused about how Mickey was so suprised to hear about Yume, like if there was something interesting about her that he needed to know.
"Yume is someone I'm looking for. It's been while since I saw her the last time, she suppose to be with my associates." The King explain.
"You mean, you've been looking for her the whole time?"
"Yes, she's the only one that can help stop the darkness with her light. Her heart is filled with the most purist light ever, which is why I need to find her before the organization does. They're up to no good, and they're trying to get her heart. It's dangerous if she gets caught into them." Rhian was so astonish to hear this. Come to think of it Raymond was eager get her along with Taishin, could that mean that he was with the organization? Rhian shooked his head that couldn't be it. Sure Raymond could be a jerk, but that dosen't mean he would do something evil like that, would he?
Rhian shooked his head, that couldn't be it. However he did mention this lady which Rhian found suspicious. Maybe she was the one started it all.
"What's wrong Rhian?" A concern Mickey asked.
"I just thought of something. Raymond told me that a woman told him that Yume betrayed us and went off on her own without looking for us. But I don't think that was true. Yume's too kind-hearted to do something cruel like that, I'm thinking it was the lady's fault for brainwashing him. Even though Raymond's a dumbass." Rhian said to the Mouse King.
"A lady you say?" Mickey though that sounded suspicious, the only evil lady he knew was Maleficent. "Did he tell you what she looked like?"
"No, sorry." Rhian said rubbing the back of his head.
"I think I know who that lady could be, but I can't say for sure though. And if it is her, then I'd say she's after Yume. That's why she tricked Raymond, so that he would get you and the rest of your friends out of the way. So she could get Yume with no one in her way." Mickey suggested. That did made sense, especially since she put Raymond on his side. But Raymond's not the only one.
"It' not just Raymond, it's also Taishin." Rhian added.
"Taishin?" Mickey asked raising an eyebrow.
"He's a good friend, even though he's cold. I get the feeling that he's helping out the lady as well."
"Oh dear!, this is worst than I though." Mickey thought.
"Are you alright?" Rhian asked as he notice Mickey had a concern look on his face but more gloomier.
"Rhian I'm afraid the trouble that Yume's in is way worst than her father had. She's goanna need more help than we thought, therefore we'll have to go to my castle to find a way to help her." Mickey said.
"How bad is it? And what do you mean 'it's worst than her father's?'" Rhian asked with a puzzle face.
"Yume's father Sora had a friend who is also Yume's uncle. He too was trick by a evil witch named Maleficent and he give in to the darkness, however he did still had consideration for helping Kairi Yume's mother. But Maleficent kept brainwashing him, into the thinking Sora was no longer his loyal ally. With that, it just made him give in to the darkness even more. And if she's doing the same with Raymond and Taishin, then it's awfully worst. Yume's goanna need all the help she can get." The Mouse King explain every detail to Rhian.
It explains why Raymond is being rude and harsh than usual. As for Taishin, he's acting even worst than before. This could be serious, so Rhian thought that it would be necessary to go to the King's castle.
"Your right, we're goanna have to get acompanies for her." Rhian agreed.
"Huh? Where am I?" Nini asked as she got up from the cold, hard floor. It seem so old and rusty in this place.
"No need to worry, your in my castle dear." Nini turn to see where the voice came from, that's when she saw Maleficent.
"Who are you?" Nini asked.
"I'm a great noble and powerful witch. Known as Maleficent." Maleficent introduced herself.
Nini gasped. This lady was actually a witch? Now this was getting even more freakier. Which could explain the creepy castle.
"Not that kind you would think I am. I'm good enough to befriend you." Maleficent said. 'Friends? Right, like this witch was actually a good type, it didn't look like it to Nini.
"What is this place? And why am I here?" Nini asked hoping she could at least know why she was in this rusty place.
"Your in my layer, your friend brought you here while you were asleep."
"My friend?" Nini didn't quit get why one of her friends would bring her here, especially this awful place.
"That's not all, there's also another reason why your here." Nini began to raise an eyebrow, what else does this witch want.
"I'm able to sense something strong within you. Even I can't tell what it is,but I can tell enough that it is something useful." 'Something useful?' like what? Nini doesn't have any special. Does she?
"Oh, it feels so good to be back in my body again." Yume said stretching her arms.
"It's good to see you back kiddo." Goofy said patting Yume's head.
"Yume, there's something I hope you don't mind me asking, but who was the person that try to take you away?" The Fairy Godmother asked in a serious yet concern tone. Yume was even concern on the inside herself, she knew that it serious that Xehanort could enter the Spirit Realm without even being spirit.
"His name was Xehanort." Yume said in a serious tone.
"WHAT?!" Donald and Goofy jumped and yelled at the same time. The Fairy Godmother gasped as soon as she herd that that name, of course any important person would know the existence of Xehanort. Donald quickly grab Yume to take close look at her.
"Goofy, we need to check to see if he gave her bruises or scratches!" then he looked under her jacket.
"Um, Donald?" Goofy wasn't even sure of what Donald doing was necessary.
"What the heck are you-" Yume was cut off as Donald grab the skirt of her dress.
"Less talking; more checking!"
"DONALD?!" Yume punched Donald over the head, before he could lift up her dress. Honestly what was wrong with this duck? He was defiantly too overprotective.
"Ouch..." Donald groan holding his head, it had a big bump where Yume punch him.
"Seriously Donald, what the heck's wrong with you?" Yume asked.
"I agree Donald, you shouldn't do thing like that just to see if she's hurt." Goofy said, at least he was the smart one to not do something like that.
"Sorry, I was just trying make sure she didn't got any black and blues on her body." Donald said rubbing his sore spot.
"Next time you do something stupid AND perverted like that again, I'll punch you even harder in the worst part of your body. Got it?" Yume said clenching her fist in front of the magician duck's face.
"Got it." Donald said startled by Yume's tight fist.
"Um, am I interrupting anything?" Everyone turn to the voice that spoke, it was Merlin who just walked in the room.
"Oh Merlin, not at all." The Fairy Godmother said.
"In fact, your just in time to see something wonderful."
Merlin took a look at what the Fairy Godmother ment, he notice Yume in her true body. He was in awe by her appearance. There was no denial that Yume was so pretty. He walked up to Yume to get a better look, indeed it was very plesant to see her original form.
"Why goodness, it's nice to finally meet the real you Yume." Merlin said in pleasant. Yume was very honored by complement.
"Thank you, Merlin."
"It's good indeed, I was hoping when you were goanna stop wearing that old cloak. I really wanted to meet the real you." Merlin said happily, Yume was happy herself, and was also hoping she would stop wearing the ugly cloak soon too.
"Well, your back to your old self again. Where do we go next?" Goofy asked.
"We still need to find Taishin." Yume said.
"...and the King!" Donald added. Yume took a minute to think about where they should go. She put her hand on her chin and think through. Then something pop into her head.
"I think we should go back to the first district and see if there's any info we could look up about this tragic, maybe if could go back to Cid's shop we find somethings that could useful for our research of Xehanort and the worlds that are suffering through the darkness." Yume suggested.
"You mean steal from Cids belonging?" Donald said raising an eyebrow.
"No! We're just goanna check in his shop to see if he has anything we can use for information." Yume explain.
"Ah, I get it. That makes a lot of sense now." Goofy who understood.
"C'mon there's no time we need to hurry." Yume said.
"Right!" Donald and Goofy agreed.
"Wait Yume!" Yume stopped as soon as she herd the Fairy Godmother call her name.
"Take this." she handed out a shiny orb that look like a tiny light ball.
"What is it?" Yume asked.
"It's a spell for you. It will give your light more power, it will be useful in case of anything that is pure darkness tries to get to you. Make sure you use it wisely." Yume took the spell from the Fairy Godmother, it felt so warm in her hands, better yet she felt like it could easily devolve into her skin. Really, it's like something within her was interacting with it.
"Wow, thank you so much." she said with a smile.
"Your welcome dear." The Fairy Godmother said returning the smile.
"Yume!" Yume herd Donald yelled as he and Goofy were ahead of her. Man, this duck was really annoying with his yelling.
"I'm coming, I'm coming. God." Yume said annoyed.
The Gummi ship landed on the beautiful garden of the royal castle. Rhian was amazed by the wonderful view of the castle's nice area. He can tell this castle was one of the most unique castles he ever seen. He got off the ship with Mickey and started to head for the castle door. As soon as Mickey knock the door with the doors, they automatically open. Rhian and Mickey stood back to get out of the way, Rhian was defiantly amazed.
They walk over to the thorn of the castle, there they met up with the Mouse Queen and the Duck dutches. The Queen was stun to see her husband again.
"Mickey! Your back!" The rush to the king and welcome him back with a nice warm hug. Mickey return the hug, it was joyful moment. The Queen notice that Rhian was standing next to the king, she stop hugging the King as soon as she notice him.
"Oh hello there young man. What's your name?" The Queen asked politely.
"Korinu, but you could call me Rhian." Rhian introduce himself.
"Well Rhian it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Minnie Queen of the Disney Castle." The Queen spoke of herself.
"Um, your majesty. Where's Donald, Goofy, and Yume. We thought they were with you already." Daisy asked.
"Unfortunately, I haven't found them yet. But luckily, I was able to find Rhian who's a friend of Yume." The King said, Minnie and Daisy turn to Rhian as Mickey mention him.
"Your friends with Yume?" Minnie asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"Yume came here before. She was with Donald and Goofy already, she wanted know if king was here." Minnie explain.
"Oh goody, I knew Yume would be with them already." Mickey with glee.
"But Mickey dear, they went off to find you." Minnie said.
"I know that. Donald and Goofy told me that if they find her, they would come search for me." Rhian started to think that it was a coincidence for him to meet up with Mickey when it should've been Yume, he lowered his a little in sadness. Mickey could tell Rhian was upset about it.
"Don't be upset Rhian, I know I was suppose to be looking for Yume, but I'm glad I met you. Your one of the most impressive magicians I've met, and a king like me always a useful companion like you. So think your a delay cause your not, your good enough for me to have as a good companion." Mickey said patting Rhian's hands.
"So Rhian, your really are a magician?" The Queen asked.
"Yeah that's right. I'm actually a pro at it, I've been training it since I was little."
"Wow, you must be really good at it since you've been practicing for years." Daisy said impressed.
"Yeah, funny thing is I never told my friends that I had these magic powers. I sort of kept it to myself." Rhian said putting his hands in his pockets.
"You mean, you never used your powers since you were little?" The Queen asked.
"Sadly yes, but the only reason why I didn't use my powers was because I was afraid that my friends would find it bizarre of me to use such a special ability." Everyone notice that there was a tone of sadness in Rhian's voice.
"Oh Rhian, just because you have magic doesn't mean your a bizarre person. It doesn't matter what you have that may appear different from everyone else, what matters is of who you really are on the inside. Who you are within your heart." Mickey said putting his hand on his chest where is heart was.
Rhian understood very well, at least there was some people who understood him well.
"Your right." he nodded with a smile.
"By the way Minnie, there's something we have inform you and Daisy about, it's very important." Mickey told his wife. Minnie was getting a bit concern from Mickey's serous tone.
"What is it Mickey?"
Rhian started to get a tingling feeling inside, he grab a fistful a his chest where his heart was. It was something he felt familiar with, but he just couldn't identify it. But one thing he knew for sure it was magic...but not his.
Yume walked to Cid's shop along with Donald and Goofy. It seems like he wasn't here today since he was last seen Hallow Baston along with Leon, Yuffie and the others. She climbed over the counter trying to get inside. Donald honestly though she looked like a little kid climbing the counter that. Yume fell over the other of the counter. But at least she was in, without even noticing Donald giggled a little from her fall.
"You alright kiddo?" Goofy asked looking over the counter.
"Yeah I'm fine." she said while holding her head, it hurt a little but it was no big deal.
The blond girl looked into some boxes to see if there was anything that Cid kept in secretive perhaps. Pretty much it seem like he kept some merchandise even behind the counter. Weird, why would he keep store products for himself? Maybe he was planning to make a discount? Anyway Yume had to keep searching around for something. Right before she was about to quit searching, she notice a stock of papers sticking out of a dusty old box.
"Huh." she said raising an eyebrow, now still was something odd, yet interesting.
Yume took the box and patted the dust off of it, causing her to cough a bit. Then she open the box and saw a bunch papers in it, there were like so many of them.
"Is this the info of Xehanort? How can there be so many?" Yume wondered.
She took one of the pages and read it. It was a little dusty so she blew on it to make the dust fly away.
The topic said: Xehanort's Ambition to Darkness.
"Interesting." Yume though.
She gathered all the paper together, but there was too many for her carry. Jeez, she didn't know that there would so many information about one person. Even so she had to get as much info as she could. But she needed to find a way to gather all the papers, but how?
"Yume ya need help?" Goofy asked.
"No, no it's fine. I got it." Yume was a bit aggravated with the complication of organizing the papers.
"Something tells me she's lying to us." Donald said putting his hands on his hips with a scowl look on his face.
"What makes you think that?" Goofy asked, he wasn't getting it.
"IDIOT!" Donald said stomping his feet.
"Hey! Keep it down!." Yume said a little more aggravated than before.
"Sounds like the little lady needs help." a little cricket came out the of Donald's hat, and jumped off to the floor.
"Jimminy, I don't think you should. She'll yell at you and thrust me, I've herd that kid's outburst before. Just ask Goofy." Donald pointed his thumb at Goofy as he spoke. Goofy just stood slient.
"Psst, like she's worst than you. At least she dosen't yell every now and then like you, you've yelled numerous times that I can't even keep count on." Jimminy waved him.
"WHAT?! WHY I OTTA!-" Donald pulled up his left shelve as he got furious at Jimminy, eager to punch him. But was held back by Goofy.
"Easy there Donald." Goofy said holding on to Donald.
"See." Jimminy said.
Ignoring Donald's cold behavior, the little cricket jumped on the counter and took a look at Yume who was struggling to get the papers together. He hop down next to her to get her attention.
"Hello, Jimminy Cricket's the name." Jimminy took his hat and bow to her.
"Oh hi, it's nice to meet." Yume said. Jimminy let out his hand for a firm handshake, Yume let out her finger and Jimminy grab it then shook her finger lighting.
"I see your having some trouble with those papers, are they even important?" Jimminy asked.
"Yes defiantly, these have important information of Xehanort. But there's so many I can't put keep them all together." Yume said as she struggled to get the papers organized.
"Well that's not the 'can do' spirit. What you need a carrying bag." the little cricket suggested.
"But I don't see a carrying bag around here,"
"Really, then why is there one over there." Jimminy pointed at a brown bag that was perfect for all the papers, and defiantly all of them. There was no kidding of it.
"Oh, I didn't even notice that." Yume felt kinda stupid for not noticing the bag that was right there, but really Cid had too much stuff here, and if he has merchandise that he's not selling then he should throw them away. Jimminy pulled the bag closer to Yume, and helped her put all the papers in the bags, when Jimminy was holding the last paper he took a good look at it and read it. He widen his eyes, this was something very interesting indeed.
"Well I'll be. What's this still doing here after all these years?" he asked outloud.
"What is it Jimminy?" Yume asked the little cricket.
"I believe this is something you need to see." Jimminy handed Yume the paper, she looked at it read the topic.
"Ansem's research of Heartless?" she read.
"What makes you think I wanna join a witch like you?" Nini said with anger.
"Not all witches are evil child," the green witch said with a smirk.
"Really?" Nini put her hands on her hips, she wasn't buying anything of this witch had to say.
"You see, I plan to have the worlds in special care. Every world needs a supervisor, that's where I come in. I've been willing to protect each and every world out there. With your help, we can have to worlds in special care. I can tell your a gentile care person who's selfless enough to be willing to be helping the unattended worlds." Nini wasn't so sure even thrust this witch. She could be lying anyway.
"Well..." Nini still didn't know what else to say. She would like to help the worlds, but she didn't wanna get sabotage and then something bad would happen to them instead. She took a few steps back, she knew that something didn't feel right about this.
"You don't want to protect the worlds?" Maleficent asked.
"I do, but..."
"But, what?"
"Something dosen't feel right, I can't join you." Nini said shooking her head.
"Why not? I'm not goanna hurt you. I just need someone with strong power to help me achieve the worlds for protection, and you are the only one with that type of power." Maleficent reach out her hand, hoping Nini would accept her offer. Nini wasn't so sure about it, she remember what her mother said to her. "Never thrust those who are trying to deceive you."
"Never thrust those who are trying to deceive you." Nini said outloud.
"What?" Maleficent asked.
Nini stood back even more.
"I'm not joining you, your just trying to sabotage me. I'm not falling for your dirty tricks. You say you need someone with power? Right, you could've found an evil mastermind instead of me. There's no way I'm falling for your stupid crap. Even if it's for protecting the worlds, that would be with good not evil. Your making a fool out of yourself asking a goodwill like me to join a evil witch like you. So don't try to talk me into it again, cause it's not happening. I'm leaving this dump and going back to my friends!" Nini began to walk away.
"I don't think so child." Maleficent said.
"Your not goanna stop me!" Nini continued walking thours the exit. Maleficent for was already losing her patient, she now realized this girl was stubborn and hardheaded unlike Taishin and Raymond who always obey her. She figured it was time for drastic measures.
"But, just think about it. We would make a great team, with our powers combine together we would be a perfect pair." Nini got so angry with this witch provoking her. She couldn't take it anymore, she felt something raise with her.
"I said NO!" Nini swish her arm aside, when a sparkling blue aura appeared out of nowhere like if she had release it, but wait...she did. Maleficent summon a dark sphere to prevent herself from getting hit by the aura. Nini look up at her hand, not believing what she had just done.
"Did I just...?"
"See? You have power, a power known as magic." Maleficent said.
"Magic? But how...?" Nini still didn't get the picture, she didn't even knew that she had these magic powers.
"That's why I need you, a person who has an intense power of magic, a powerful magician."
"I'm a magician?" Nini thought about it, how long has she had these powers? Thing were getting out of hand already. Better yet she didn't care, this was getting too wacky, she decided to do what was best either way.
"Even so, I don't care! I'm not joining a evil hag like you. I would rather stay stuck at my island than work with a witch like you." Nini continue to walk away again.
"Your really are stubborn, are you?" Maleficent use her staff and created a very harmful spell that caused the ground to rumble, like if it was an earthquake. There a green glow that was spreading around the room. Nini stop as she notice the ground underneath her was shaking, so much that she couldn't even move an inch.
"What are you-"
"I expected you to be more obedient, but since your as stubborn as your friend, I'll have to use your power by force." Maleficent raised her hand towards Nini, she notice that her body was being covered in green aura. Nini was so stiff she couldn't move at all, no matter how she struggled it just wouldn't let her budge.
"Err, it hurts!" Nini blurted out.
"Not to worry, it will only be temporally. I suggest you should stop struggle, it would only make it worst."
"Why are you doing this?" Nini asked in pain.
"I have my reasons, however if you'd cooperate I would tell you." Malefcient clutched her hand, as Nini was being pulled towards her. Nini wanted to move around, but she didn't want to get anymore pain. She didn't know what to do. But then, a magic spark come between her and Maleficent. The spark was so powerful it got rid of the green aura. Then notice it was also water, it washed the evil magic away.
"Huh?" Nini look down at herself to notice she was a bit wet from the water.
"I can't believe it!" Maleficent said in an displeased expression.
"You really shouldn't use brute-force just to get someone to obey you." a voice said.
Nini turned around to see where the voice came from, she saw a girl in a white hood that was also a dress. Nini could see her face since it was covered in the hood.
"You again?!" Maleficent shouted.
"You really are letting your evil schemes get to you huh? Just to get those on your side? Well, let this be something to show you what happens when you do stuff like this." The girl said, however her tone was clam and gentile.
"Silence! I'm not take advise from you, what are you doing here in the first place?!" Maleficent sound pretty angry.
"Since your not goanna followed my word, I'm not goanna give any reason of me being here."
"Why you little wrench! I though you were off doing an important mission?!"
"I am, and this is one of them." She walked up infront of Nini, it looked she was going to defend her.
"Besides, I'm not goanna let you take advantage of this girl. Can't you see she dosen't know about her special ability?" Nini raised an eyebrow, 'special ability?' what's that about?
"Ethier way I wouldn't care if she was dumb or not. She still has power! And that power is want I NEED!" Maleficent stomp her foot in anger causing the floor to shake again, the green aura began to flow all over the place. This was defiantly a witch tantrum going on. The hooded girl quickly grabbed Nini, and dragged her out of the room.
"GET BACK HERE!" Maleficent used a powerful force of darkness to snatch Nini and the hooded girl.
" Dewdrop Sphere!" The girl created a force field that look like a giant dewdrop, it protected the girls from the destructive darkness. Thank god, it was strong cause the darkness failed to reach them or get pass the shield.
"Liquidportation!" with that word she shouted, her and Nini were suck away by the waves of water.
"NO!" Maleficent shouted.
"What's wrong Rhian are you alright?" Mickey was concern by Rhian's actions, he didn't look so good.
"I'm fine, I just feel something arching in my heart." he said.
"Why don't you come to the dinning room I'll make you some tea." The Queen said.
"Achually Minnie why don't you just make the tea, I'll take Rhian to the library." Mickey suggested.
"Oh, ok then." Minnie walked away over to the kitchen with Daisy, while Mickey and Rhian went to the library.
Rhian was amazed by the site of the place, just like Yume was when she first came to the castle. Mickey showed him to his desk where his does most of his royal duties, he had his computer and book all over along with some written paper. It was like a den, or an office. It looks like even being a king was a lot of hard work.
"Here have a seat." the Mouse King pulled out a chair for Rhian to sit. Mickey sat down next to him as he had his desk in front of him, he began to do some typing on the computer as images and texts started to pop up.
"You see Rhian, the history of the keyblade happen a long, long time ago. Ever since it was created it was use as a useful and powerful weapon. The original wielder is unknown, but it's been passed down through so many generations. Like I told you before the keyblade chooses it's wielder, but if someone were to touch it it's ability would be pass down to that person. However there's a time when the keyblade can choose a better wielder depending on how strong their heart is." Mickey explained, then more images of keyblades came into the screen.
"Their heart?" Rhian wondered, even so it was getting pretty interesting.
"That's right, hearts are the important parts of a person's body, of course you know that. But hearts are the most powerful within a person, it can also have some specific elements such light, darkness, magic, and other kinds of things."
"So I have magic within my heart." Rhian asked as he put his hand his upper left part of his chest where his heart was.
"Yep, everyone has something special within their hearts. It's something that gives us courage in life to follow the paths we believe in, it's our streght of power." Mickey said with pride, Rhian could tell he was right about that.
"But, the darkness however can lead to serious negative effect, especially for those who have no control over it." Rhian got the feeling it was defiantly serious. Of course a king would never lie to something like that.
"What do you mean specifically?" he asked the mouse king.
"The darkness can cause a person to do things that very harmful. If it overly consume them, they can lose their minds, which can lead more dangerous effects and actions." Now things were getting more interesting, and more serious. Rhian figured that if it's corrupting Taishin and Raymond then...
"Oh god no...!" he said in shocking but soft tone.
"What's wrong Rhian?" Mickey asked the concerned boy.
"I think Taishin and Raymond are being corrupted by it too without a doubt. Well, at least from how I saw Raymond, he was acting more colder than usual. I think he must have the darkness flowing within his heart." Rhian though as he put his hand on his chin.
"Oh dear, it's defiantly worst than I though." Mickey said concern.
"Then, what's should we do?"
"Let me see." Mickey began to do some typing on the computer.
"This talks about a guy named Ansem who studied the heartless long ago, but what does this have to do with Xehanort?" Yume still holding the paper.
"Well you see, Ansem was Xehanort's heartless." Jimminy told the blond girl.
"He had a heartless?" Yume asked.
"Yep, as the paper said he was the one who studied the heartless, however his research was scattered off somewhere in the other worlds. But luckily those researches were found a while ago." The little cricket said.
"But what about Xehanort?" Yume asked.
"Well that remain mysterious back then, but we began to discover that he was one who started it all. Having a nobody along known as Xemnas."
"He had a nobody too?" Yume asked, this was getting pretty interesting though.
"Yes indeed. Both were part of him, and also they were consider as his companions along with the organization." Jimminy said as he tuck his tall hat.
"I can't believe it, it sounds like there were three of him." Yume said as she held up three figures.
"Apparently so, although I can't seem to remember, but they did say that he had to go through time meaning he had to leave his body behind. Therefore he needed a younger body."
"A younger body?" the blond girl asked.
"Let put this as clearly as I can. You see, the Xehanort that you met was his younger self, he was official an old man."
"An old man?"
"Yep, that's the reason why he had to search for a new body, he was too old to go through a lot hardship so he decided to possession over another body."
Yume put her hand on her mouth, she couldn't believe. This has gotten a lot shocking than she would expected.
"Yes as shocking as it sounds it's true." Jimminy said putting his hands behind his back.
"At least I learn half of the information, that'll be good enough for now. We need to go and find Taishin." Yume said, she grab the the carrying bag and pull the strap over her shoulder.
Jimminy hopped on Yume's shoulder as she climb over the counter, at least she landed safely and not flat on her face again.
"Ya found the info?" Goofy asked.
"Yep, it's all in here." Yume patted the bag of papers.
"I say that's more than enough." Donald said.
"No kidding, anyway we to hurry, we gotta find Taishin." Yume ran out the door, forgetting about Donald and Goofy.
"Hey! Wait up kid!" Donald said running after.
"Hold up Yume!" Goofy said following Donald.
Nini found herself outside the castle along with the hooded girl. She was glad to be out of those awful chambers of that place.
"Thank you for saving me." Nini said with relief.
"No problem, I had to get out of there while I had the chance. And it's good thing too." the girl said.
"Who are you?" Nini asked.
"An old friend."
"I meant your name."
"You'll find out soon enough. Right now I have to get to a better place. Here take this." The hooded girl handed Nini a card it said 'Radiant Garden'.
"What's this?"
"It's a pass to Radiant Garden. Once you get you need to find a duck named Scrooge Mcduck, he'll give another pass to another world where you can be safe. But be careful, cause there will be monsters appearing from nowhere. That's why you need start using your magic powers to defend yourself."
"But, I didn't even know that I had these magical powers. I don't know how to use them." the hooded girl put her hand on Nini's shoulder.
"Don't worry, when the time comes you'll be able to control them. Just look within your heart and you'll found out soon enough." the girl said.
"What does that mean?" Nini didn't quit get it. She raise her eyebrow in confusion. The girl just giggled, making Nini feel a bit embarrassed.
"You'll understand. Now I need to get you out of this place, I'll cast a spell on the card and it will send you to Radiant Garden."
The girl put her hand the card, and a magical mist flow over it. There was a magical platform that appear underneath the sparkles started to fly around Nini.
"Wait! What about you?" Nini yelled.
"Don't worry, I'll be alright. You need to be more concern of yourself now." the girl said those words as the continue to flow around Nini, she was surrounded by the mist of blue magic. Here the site of the hooded girl vanish as she as well disappeared with the magic.
"According to the info traits, there's a chance we need everyone who is qualified with a keyblade to help us. It's the only way to we can help Taishin and Raymond, by unlocking the darkness that within their hearts. But it's not guaranteed that it will work alone." The King said, as for pop up info came on the screen.
"What do you mean it won't work alone?'" Rhian put his fist on his chin in a thinking position.
"You know how there's antidotes for specific illnesses and infections?"
"Yeah,"
"Well there's an antidote for the darkness, which is of course light. The light that is pure enough for any darkness, it can take it down with no doubt. And that's also why we need Yume for this special antidote."
"Why is that?" Rhian asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yume is the last princess of hearts, the princesses of hearts are those who have pure light within their hearts. Yume however has the purist light within her heart, more purer than ever. And that's the special antidote we need for the darkness that corrupting Taishin and Raymond." The King explain.
"So basically the antidote is Yume." Rhian said.
"That's right!" Mickey said in a gleeful tone.
"Then all we have to is find Yume and the others. But what if they don't have the keyblades yet? Plus I don't have a keyblade myself yet."
"Don't worry, they should be receiving them soon, and so will you." Mickey said.
"I hope-ugh!"Rhian felt a strong tingle in his heart, he clentch his heart like if it was in deep pain but it really wasn't. It was something else it was the...magic.
"Are you alright Rhian?" Mickey asked as he put his hand on Rhian's leg.
"I made some tea." Queen Minnie entered the room, she notice that Rhian was suffering in pain.
"Oh dear, quickly! Sit him on the table!" Mickey did what his wife told him and sat Rhian on the while he was still clenching his heart.
"Here Rhian, drink this." the handed Rhian the cup of tea, he grab with his other hand that wasn't on his heart.
"Careful, it's hot."
Rhian blew on the tea as much as he could, then he put the cup to his lips and and drank the tea up. Suddenly his heart felt more clam, even it was still sensing something but in a soother way. He gulped up all the tea and felt a lot more better.
"Ahh, thank you. That really helped." Rhian said to the Queen.
"Your welcome Rhian, my special tea always helps for illnesses and aches. It's like a medicine." Minnie said.
"Hope you don't mind, but what was causing you so much pain?" Mickey asked the young magician.
"It wasn't pain, it was sensitivity. My heart was sensing magic from someone else." Mickey raised an eyebrow in confusion, that was defiantly weird. There was no other magician here, especially without Donald around.
"That's strange. The only magician we have here is Donald but he's not here now" Minnie said.
"It's coming from someone else...another magician."
"Another magician? But there's no other magician here besides Donald." Mickey said.
"It's coming from a distance, faraway from here. My heart must have an ability have sensing magic from a far distance. I know it's coming from someone else, their just not here." Rhian said.
"My, my, Rhian. You must have a special ability indeed. Do you think you could identify who the magician is?" Mickey asked.
"Unfortunately I can't...yet. The sensitivity takes time to identify the person of where the magic's coming from." Rhian said.
"Don't worry, I'm not rushing you or anything like that. You must be tired from the sensation anyway. You should rest for a bit, you can't go off in battle in your condition. "
"The king's right, you must be exhausted. You can go to the guest room and make yourself comfortable." Minnie suggested.
"Thanks, I appreciate it." Rhian said pleased.
"Your very welcome." Mickey said.
"Come, I'll show you to the room." Queen Minnie lead Rhian to the guest room, it was pretty comfortable and the bed was nice. There was a nice dresser, and a good window to see the pretty garden. He lay on the bed and took his his shoes off, he laid back and felt all his sensitivity melt away.
"If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask." Minnie said kindly.
"Ok, thanks."
The Queen left Rhian alone in the room. He pulled his body up in sitting position, and put his hand on his heart. It was still sensing the magic without pain this time. But he could tell that his heart was trying to identify the unknown magician.
"Who are you? Where are you?" Rhian asked out-loud.
A/N Hmmm...who could be this unknown Rhian is sensing? Find out on next chapter.
