A/N: The Beast is cold and heartless isn't he? Kicking me and Maurice out of his castle like we're luggage. Oh who am I kidding. That's who he is! I can only imagine how Belle's gonna handle the situation.
World: Ville De Roses
Beast escorts Belle around the castle, showing her around. Since she's a girl, he would want to treat her like she's a guest. After all, he does need her to break the spell. Belle was told that she's allow to go anywhere she pleases within the castle, all except the West Wing room.
Meanwhile, back at the village. The villagers are all gathered in the bar, just hanging out having a drink. Gaston is the only one who isn't pleased. He sits by the fireplace on his animal skinned fur chair. He's upset about Belle turning him down. Maurice barges right in, panicking for help to rescue Belle.
When Maurice told everyone about the beast, they just laughed at him and call him crazy. In the end, everyone tossed him out and Maurice fall into the snow. I was standing next to the door, hanging with arms crossed. I just saw Maurice get tossed out of the bar.
I walk up to Maurice as he kicks his feet trying to get out. "I told yea they wouldn't believe you." I say.
Maurice pops his head out of the snow, then he stands up. "Well? What are we gonna do? We can't just leave her there with that-that beast!"
"Trust me, I've seen Belle take on stuff bigger and tougher then the Beast." The darkness that was unleashed in Hollow Bastion when Sora used the dark Keyblade to free the princesses hearts and Kairis. "But if you're so concern, I'll return to the castle and help her."
I escort Maurice back to his home. Once that's done, I head out into the woods, making my way to the castle.
Meanwhile, Bella is laying on the bed in her new room in Beast's castle. The girl couldn't turn off her mind. All she could think about was the bedroom in the West Wing. What could be in there? What is he hiding? Belle gets out of bed, walking down the hallway, making her way to the West Wing.
In the inner hallway, Belle slowly walks in as she looks around. The hallway is filled with destroyed objects hanging everywhere and it's all dirty with claw markings on the wall. Almost like no one's been here EVER.
Belle finds the double doors that which leads to Beasts room. She knows not to trespass, but her curiosity got the best of her, and she enters. The room is in even worse mess then the hallway was. At the end of the room, Belle notices a rose. Floating, glowing, in cased in glass. Why would the Beast have a rose like this? Belle slowly approaches the rose. What she doesn't know is what lays in store for her when the Beast discovered her trespassing.
I make my way through the woods. So far, there aren't any Heartless. It's quiet...a little too quiet. In no time, I made it to the Beasts castle.
I walk on the bridge, remembering what the Beast told me, to take Maurice to the village and never return to this castle. I know he'll kill me for returning to the castle, but I don't fear him, even if he can take me.
I entered the courtyard then walk right into the castle. It's the same as it was when me and Belle came here. I only walked about five feet away from the doors when the Beasts shouting echoes throughout the castle.
"GET OUT!"
His shouting startles me. I'm on alert, looking for the Beast. I have a feeling he knows I'm here. I relax as soon as I saw Belle running down the West Wing stairs, rushing towards the exit.
"Belle!" I say, surprised.
"Patrick! Thank goodness! We have to leave!" Belle says.
I stand in front of Belle, stopping her. "Whoa! I know there's a beast in this castle, but what's the rush?"
"There's no time to explain. Promise or no promise! I can't stay here another minute!" Belle grabs me by the wrist and drags me out of the castle with her.
We now ride on Phillipe, running away. Belle explains everything that happened to me, how she was told not to go into the West Wing bedroom, she did it anyways and the Beast caught her and yelled at her to get out.
"Why in the light would you do that? You're even crazier then I thought!" I ask.
"I didn't think he was really hiding something." Belle says.
"Really? What does the word 'Forbidden' mean in this world? You're welcome to come in with no trouble at all?" I ask.
"I'm sorry. I was just curious. That's all." Belle says.
"Ever heard of Curiosity killed the cat?" I ask.
Belle felt offended hearing that, but decided to change the subject. "Where's papa?"
"Don't worry. He's safe at your house." I answered. Belle's relieved to hear that.
We both said nothing else. Phillipe stops and jumps off of his front foots, neighing in worry. Me and Belle fell off of the horse. "Ow!" Me and Belle stand back up. "What's up with that horse of yours?"
Belle looks at something ahead, shocked and scared. "I think...that."
I look at Belles direction. I'm shocked. There are two large wolves, about 1.5 our size. Either bigger or the same as the Beast. They're clearly Heartless. One wolf has purple fur, large sharp teeth, no claws and black eyes. The other is black fur with small fangs but large sharp claws and red eyes.
Fang and Claw.
"Heartless." I muttered.
The twin wolves just stands in place, glaring at us and growling. Countless Howling Wolves appeared, coming out of the shadows. Belle becomes scared and hides behind me as I summon my Keyblade, positioned to fight.
"Stay behind me, Belle." I say.
The Howling Wolves surrounds us, and I attack them all. I first gathered them with Magnet and strike at them, then used Strike Raid. The Magnet ends and then I entered Critical Impact. I strike hard at the Heartless with brutal strength. Many of the Howling Wolves were defeated. With each one slain, more appears.
I cast Spark, channeling a single ring of light around me, hurting any of the Heartless within. The Howling Wolves strikes at me, I suffer great damage. I cast Cura then do Shimmer Sweep. My power grows deeper and I entered Heaven's Light, being coated in light and growing a white angel wing on my right shoulder.
I strike at the Heartless at swiftly at the speed of light. I kill the Heartless nearly twice as fast in my normal power rate. I cast Ruinra. More Howling Wolves die and more appear. I do Sonic Blade, zooming around as I attack the Heartless. I reach my full power and unleash Heaven's Light. I plant my Keyblade on the ground, by the hilt with the tip aiming up. I float in the air, legs crossed, right on top of the Keyblade. The Keyblade shoots a beam of light at me, forming a light barrier around me. I gather the energy and unleash it by spreading my arms out, unleashing a dozen light lasers all over the area, the lasers weaves around and the beams slowly spins around.
Many of the Howling Wolves get destroyed by the Heaven's Light. After fifteen seconds, it ends. Belle and I slowly move back, holding my Keyblade ready to strike. The Howling Wolves prowls up on us, and more of them are spawning.
"There's too many of them." Belle says.
"Damn it! Where are they all coming from?" I ask, irritated.
The Howling Wolve pounces at us. I cast a Zero Gravira, sending them in the air. Phillipe neighs in worry, Belle looks to see that the Howling Wolves at attacking the horse.
"Phillipe!" Belle rushes to her horse.
"Belle! No!" I chase after her, but the Howling Wolves block my path. I try to fight my way through the Heartless.
Belle picks up a large stack, swinging it at the Howling Wolves. She tries her best to protect her horse, if only she could protect herself. The Howling Wolves attacks Belle. One of them manages to knock her down, the other one growls at her.
Belle screams in worry as the Howling Wolf pounces on her. Just before it made contact, someone grabs the Heartless, lifts it at his face and roars fierce at it.
It's the Beast.
Me and Belle are surprised that he's here, fighting the Heartless. Beast destroys all of the Howling Wolves surrounding Belle. I finish off my own wolves as well. When the Heartless were clear, Fang and Claw jumps into the field, howling. Me and Beast position ourselves, fighting off Fang and Claw.
While Beast is rushing in and attacking Fang, I take out my Mushu Charm and activate the D-link. Claw assaults me. Fang does its powerful bites on Beast, but Beasts bites back at the Heartless. When I'm free from Claws attacks, I attack with my blazing Keyblade, then cast Firaga Burst, creating a orb of flame, shoot it above Claw and hundreds of fire bolts rains down from the orb, burning Fang and Claw.
Beast swipes his claws at Fang, Claw now focuses on Beast. I repeatly cast Firaga at Fang and Claw, then I do Raging Storm, where I float inches off the ground with three flaming tornados circling around me. Fang and Claw does ferocious attacks on Beast. Beast roars in agony, but then in anger and counterattacks with great strength.
I reach my full power and unleash Guardians Flare, unleashing a powerful wave of flare right in front of me at Fang and claw, and my D-linking with Mushu ends. I resume attacking the twin wolves. Claw leaps onto me, savagely slashing me with its claws. Fang howls fierce, unleashing a moonblast on it, harming me and Beast.
When I break free from Claws assault, I use Cura then cast Fira and Dusra, then I enter Star Surge. Me and Beast attacks the Heartless with all of our strength. Fang leaps onto Beast, salvaging him with its teeth. Going for the throat you might say. I cast Quake on Claw, making an earth spike raise underneath the Heartless. Beast breaks free from Fang's assault and fights back hard.
I reach my full power and unleash Star Surge, ending the Heartless. Fang and Claw stumbles, they both release one last howl and their bodies collapse. The Heartless symbols glows and a large heart was released from each of them.
I take the moment to rest, then I turn to Beast. He's standing there, exhausted and hurt. I can see a rough scratch on his arm. Beast lefts out a soft growl then he collapses into unconsciousness.
I look at Belle, who's paying her attention to Beast. She seems worried, either of herself or for Beast. I walk up to her. "You all right?"
Belle seem startled when I spoke to her. "Ye-yeah." Bell and I turn out attention to the unconscious Beast. "I can't believe he came to save us."
"He really isn't a bad guy, is he?" I ask. Belle and I help Beast settle on Phillipe then we take him back to the castle.
Back at the castle, Belle treats the Beast's wounds. The servants are really scared about this. I wouldn't blame them, but I'm not really afraid. If anything, I'm protective. If Beast dares to hurt Belle, I'll slice him in half.
Belle's treatment on the Beast starts off rough. The servants cowers in fear while I position myself to spring into action. After a minute of their argument, things start to calm down. I've decided that I'm not needed here, so I step out into the Entrance Hall.
I lay my back against the wall, sliding to a sitting position while releasing a loud sigh. The servants come out. "Is something wrong, monsieur?" Lumière asks.
I look at the servants. "No. Just still a little shaken from the woods." I say.
Mrs. Potts and Chip hops to my side. "Here. How about a spot of tea?" Mrs. Potts pours the tea into Chip. I grab Chip and drink the tea.
"Hey, can you...guys tell me something?" I ask. "What's the deal with that Beast?"
"Ah, you see. The master wasn't always like that." Mrs. Potts says. "Why, he use to be a prince and we were all human?"
Hearing that grabs my attention. "Is that so?"
"That's right. It was the Enchantress." Cogsworth says. "It was a cold winters night..."
The servants explained the whole story to me. About an old bagger women asking for shelter, but the prince turned her away. Cause of that, the women turned into a beautiful enchantress. The prince begged for forgiveness, but it was too late. The enchantress put a spell on the prince, turning him into a beast. As further punishment, she put a spell on the whole castle and everyone in it.
But there is a way to break the spell. The Beast was given an enchanted rose, and if he can learn how to love and earn love in return before the last petal of that rose falls, everything goes back to normal.
Later on, Beast and Belle settles in their bedrooms. I just stand hanging by the hall next to the door of Belle's room. I've been thinking about this spell the Beast is put under. It's no wonder he's vicious. After all: Who could ever love a beast?
I look at the door, I wonder if Belle's different. She does have a kind heart, which makes her a princess after all. I wonder if she could be...the one.
I make my way to the Beasts room, going to the West Wing all the way from the East. I enter the hallway to the Beasts room. It's a complete dump, then again I'm not surprised. I approach to the door, opening it slightly. I take a peek to see Beast just standing in front of a small table by the window.
What caught my attention is that there's a glowing rose contained in glass on that table. I'm guessing that's the enchanted rose. I walk right in, Beast doesn't seem to be paying attention. I also notice he has something on his mind.
"She means that much to you, doesn't she?" I ask.
Beast becomes startled, he starts snarling when he sees me. "You!"
Beast stands in front of the rose, growling as he glares at me. "No need to beast on, I come in peace." I say, holding two fingers out in one hand. "So...I heard you're under this...spell."
Beast groans and turns around, putting his claws and face on the table. "Why did you have to bring it up?"
"Well your servants told me about it." I say, walking up to Beast.
Beast looks at his wrapped arm. "I can't believe she would do this to me...after everything I've done to her."
"Well, you did save our lives from those Heartless. I'm not really surprised. She does have a kind heart." I say.
"Yes...she does." Beast turns his head over his shoulder, looking at me. "I want to make it up for her...but what should I do?"
I rub my chin looking up. "Well...from what I know, you can give a girl some flowers...chocolates. But We may need to do bigger..." I look directly at Beast as I got an idea. "Tell me. Does this castle have a library?"
Beast tells me there is one, so I told him that he should take Belle to it. As he goes get Belle, I take a little adventure to the library, figuring it could have any further information of the Shadowmoon or how to rescue Aqua from the darkness. The library is very huge, even I'm most surprised. If there was a world that's nothing but one giant library, this library would be bigger then that world.
Beast takes Belle to the library, but keeps it a surprise. I'm currently at the top shelf, which is like forty feet off of the ground, gathering some books I'm gonna research. Belle takes a look at the library and she's is completely surprised.
"I can't believe it! I've never seen so many books in my life. It's wonderful!" Belle says.
I look down, hearing Belle's loud 'Wonderful'. Only the second I do, my foot slips and I fall off the ladder. Belle and Beasts looks to notice my falling as I scream. Belle gasps when I crash to the ground.
"I'm okay!" I say, only to soon have a large pile of books fall from the shelves and onto me. Even the Beast became concern seeing that. "I'm still okay." My voice was a big rough and muffled, cause I was crashed by those books.
