The entire ship ride to the castle was very quiet. Riku stayed in the captain's quarters looking after Kairi. Aimala sits on the bowsprit looking out into the darkness. Hook kept pacing while his right hand man who he calls Smee is steering the ship. Smee was an elderly man that wore sandals, a blue and white striped shirt, blue pants, and a red hat. He was always very energetic and stuttered a lot especially around Hook. Aimala didn't mind him at all. Aimala was always lost in thought. She didn't feel like speaking to anyone. She was wondering how to make things better between her and Riku and wondered if she should. She could no longer be associated with Kairi. Kairi is a princess of light. Because of this she knew ultimately what would befall her once the last princess is found. She however was torn by the very idea. Suddenly a dark portal opened in the middle of the ship and Maleficent walked through. Aimala walks off the bowsprit to her. Maleficent took notice of her gloomy look.

"Are you okay my child?" asked Maleficent

"Not really" said Aimala "Riku and I aren't seeing eye to eye right now."

"It's that girl isn't it?"

Aimala nodded.

"I wouldn't get to worried about it child" said Maleficent "That's why I'm here." She places her hand on her shoulder. Don't let it get to you too much. Maleficent then notices her wings. Her wings have turned halfway green and seemed to be slowly creeping up to her back. She takes her hand off her shoulder. "Where is Riku?"

Aimala points to the door leading to the captain's quarters.

Maleficent starts walking to the quarters. She stops of a minute and turns back to Aimala. "By the way, Ursula was defeated by Sora a few minutes ago. Not sure if you cared or not." Aimala stayed silent. Maleficent then waved her hand and created a portal. "You should go on ahead of me and return to the castle. I can handle the rest."

Aimala walked through the portal as Maleficent went to talk to Riku. Aimala arrives in the meeting room. Oogie Boogie was there. "Good to see you again Aila" said Oogie. Aimala just quietly walks to the door. "Wait a second Aila you can't be that sad now can you?"

"I'm not in the mood Oogie" said Aimala

"Well then what will put you in the mood? You can't just stay here moping around because our allies are indisposed."

"It's not just that Oogie. I have a lot on my plate."

"Really?" Oogie thought for a moment "Then what you need is to get away from this place and take a break."

"I really don't think I…."

"Nonsense, this will be the perfect way to let loose." Oogie grabs Aimala "Place your hand out and imagine a world filled with monsters ranging from ghouls to ghost to skeletons."

Aimala focused and created the portal. "You really need to learn how to do this yourself" said Aimala "I'm actually kind of shocked mom didn't give you the power to control the heartless."

"I don't give it much thought"

Oogie pushes Aimala through the portal. They arrive in a very creepy looking place full of graves and pumpkins. The world appeared to be designed solely to scare people. "Where are we?" asked Aimala

"Halloween town my dear and it is the perfect place for you" said Oogie. He looks down at Aimala. "It looks like you changed Aila"

Aila looks down at herself. Her outfit has changed into an all black jumpsuit that covered her from the neck down. She still has the thigh high boots on. Her cloak is gone and is instead replaced with a witch hat with a mouth on it. Her wings are projected through the suit out her shoulder blades allowing for room to breathe. Her eyes stayed the same with her hair now white.

"Now why don't you go into town" said Oogie "They should be preparing for Halloween."

"How will that make me feel better?"

"What's more fun than Halloween? It's much more fun than just moping around."

"I don't even know where I'm going."

Oogie point to a path to the left. "Just follow that path and you'll get to the town and if you want to come back to my place just take the shortcut through the graveyard." Oogie points to a door hidden behind a huge statue. "That will lead you directly to my place."

Aimala nods and proceeds down the path. As she is walking she notices the different small ghosts rising from the ground. They seem to be dancing around in place. She finally reaches a gate that leads to a small town. She opens the gate and sees that some big parade is happening. A bunch of ghouls and werewolves and zombies made up the entire crowd. The people are all gathered round this fountain spewing green water. Suddenly a skeleton rises up from the water and strikes a pose. Everyone cheers saying bravo. The crowd then disperses. Aimala walks up to the skeleton man

"Interesting, I've never seen you here before" said the skeleton man "I'm Jack and you are?"

"I'm Aimala" said Aimala "What was that crowd for?"

"I was practicing for Halloween. We have to give off a menacing look to both scare and excite people." Jack steps outside the fountain and walks around Aimala. "This town revolves around Halloween everything in this town just screams it." Jack suddenly stops and looks down. "Alas this year it just doesn't feel right. It feels like there is something missing."

"So you don't think it's scary enough?"

"Exactly" said Jack as he zooms into Aimala's face. "I need something that will bring terror so great that people will shiver from the mere sight of them."

Aimala thought for a second. "I might be able to help you with that" she said. She summons her staff and taps it on the ground. Just then two ghosts like heartless raise from the ground. "What do you think?"

"Amazing what are they?"

"They are called Heartless. They make even the hearts of monsters shiver in fear."

"That's great so how do you control them?"

"Like so" Aimala waves her hand commanding the Heartless to attack a nearby citizen. However, the Heartless just stands still doing nothing but float in place. "Hold on a second." She uses her staff to command the Heartless but it still stayed in place. "What's going on why aren't my power's working."

"It must not like taking orders. Either that or doesn't like the orders you are giving them. Try to make them dance."

Aimala waves her hand in a wave motion. The heartless slowly sway side to side.

"Well it's a start let's see if we can improve it."
