A/N: Well, nice to see things have gone smoothly in Ville De Roses. But the search for Aqua is still very far. Let's see how interesting things will get in a new world.

World: The Blazing Kingdom


I start walking through a forest. Nothing like the dreaded woods in Ville De Roses. This one is bright and sunny. I have entered a new world, still in search to find Aqua. At one point, I stop by a cliff, hanging against the part that's covered with vines, only as I lean back, I phase through and fall on my back on the ground.

That's when I realize the vines are really hiding an entrance to some cave. "What the?" I stand back up, looking deep into the cave to find some light. It's not a cave, it's a tunnel. I walk down the tunnel and into the light. To my surprise, the cave leads to some plateau with a tower in the center. Why the heck is there a hidden tower in these woods?

I approach to the tower, and start climbing it. Shouldn't there be a ladder? There's not even a door. As I climb, I hear some lady shouting 'Rapunzel' within the tower. She sounds really worried. That's not good.

I make it to the window on top and climb in. There, I see some lady in a red dress and black cloak, Gothel, ransacking the house. "Rapunzel! Rapunzel!"

"Hey!" The lady stops in place. "Is everything okay?"

"You!" Gothel comes at me and points a dagger at my face. "You're the one who took Rapunzel, aren't you?"

I hold my hands up and back, focusing on the dagger inches from my face. "Whoa! Take it easy, lady. I just got here." I pull the dagger away from my face. "Also, I have no idea what you're talking about. What's a Rapunzel?"

Gothel groans as she walks to the other end of the room. "Rapunzel's not a what? A who. She's my daughter and she's gone missing."

"She flew the coop?" I ask.

"I'm afraid so. I kept telling her that the world's a dangerous place, but then, she wants to go see some...floating lights and I told her she's not leaving this tower, ever and then-"

"Wait! Back up!" I interrupted. "You told her she's never leaving this tower? So that means...you kept her from seeing the outside world?" There was nothing but silence from the women. "Now I don't blame her for running away."

Gothel doesn't look too pleased to hear that. "How about instead of defending my daughter's rebellion, could you perhaps bring her back?"

I sigh crossing my arms in front of my chest. "All right, fine. But only because I know how it how it feels to lose a family member. So, what's she like?"

"She has long golden hair." Gothel says.

That's the only information I got. "I think you'll have to be more specific then that."

"Oh, no. Her hair is long, little REALLY long!" Gothel says. "Trust me, you'll know her when you see her."

I say nothing else. Is it really okay for me to accept a mission from this woman? I groan and turn around to jump off the tower. It's a long fall, but I land on one knee and hand and foot. I then stand up and begin my journey to find this Rapunzel.

As I journey to the Woods, I run into the Heartless. Great, there's Heartless in this world too. Now I'm starting to see why Gothel is protective of her own daughter. The only new Heartless here are the Guardsmans, which are the Archer's Heartless mounted on horses.

I take on the Heartless, fighting these creatures wasn't hard. I even had to block the arrows the Guardsman's shoot at me. I give that Guardsman a taste of a Quake spell. I defeated the Heartless then continue my journey through the woods.

As I walk though the woods, I notice these wanted posters hanging all over the trees. I take one of them. It's a poster about some thief known as 'Flynn Rider'. The dude has a fat nose.

"Man, what's with the dudes nose?" I ask myself.

I fold up the poster and put it in my pocket, continuing my journey through these woods. More Heartless spawn and I attack the creatures. I cast Magnera and enter Spell Weaver. I strike at the Heartless, then cast Sparkra. The Heartless become defeated, but more appears.

Large Body's and Defenders. How nice. My power deepens and I enter Heaven's Light. My swift and magical attacks within the Heaven's Light made an easy fight, phasing through the Heartless's defenses. They couldn't get a chance to fight back since my attacks just staggers them. I reach full power and unleash Heaven's Light. The rest of the Heartless becomes defeated from the blast rays of light.

I walk down the path in the forest, arrive at some small bar. I read the sign. "The Snuggly Duckling?" From a distance away, I can hear music and singing going on. It's coming from the bar. People singing something about having a dream...

I walk up to the bar and entered it. To my surprise, there's a musical going on in here. And the crowd is full of dangerous thugs. Their musical becomes interrupted, even ends with the sound of a record scratch, and everyone pays attention to me.

In the center on the table is a girl with long golden hair...wait. That's her! The wanted man, Flynn Rider, grabs Rapunzel and pulls her away. As that's happening, I notice her hair is still going and going and going. Geez! Now I see what Gothel meant by 'Long hair'.

I get a step forward only to be greeted by hundreds of knifes and swords. "What are you doing here?" Says some criminal with a hook. "You with the kingdom?"

I raise and eyebrow. "Kingdom? I don't know what you're talking about. I'm here for the girl."

"You're gonna have to get through us." Says some man with the giant nose.

I stand there for a moment. My eyes follows Flynn and Rapunzel. I see them going behind the bar, ducking down. I return my attention to the crowd of thugs, summon my Keyblade, make my stance. "Bring it."

All the thugs makes their move, but the moment they do, I cast my Zero Gravira, sending the two dozen closest to me in the air, where the rest stops their charge and gasp. I can hear them chatting.

"How did he do that?" "Is that magic?" "Is he some kind of witch?" "That's impossible!"

I spin my Keyblade in front of me as the tip of it charges up in fire energy, then unleash Mega Flare, unleashing a large explosion bolt of fire. That blow all of the floating thugs away.

Those on the ground focus their eyes on the knocked out criminals, then turn their attention back to me in fear. I hold my Keyblade in front of me. "Anyone else wants a piece of me?" The rest of the criminals backs away, sheathing their weapons. My Keyblade vanishes. "Didn't think so."

I move the thugs out of my way, walking right into the bar. I walk over to the counter where I saw them hide in. Only when I look behind, there was nothing. They couldn't have just vanished. I look around for some clues. What I notice is that there's a lever with a duck on top and there's a large duck painted on the floor behind the bar.

I wonder...

I pull a lever, then a hidden passage right on that duck painting is revealed. I knew it. I walk right into the tunnel, the door closes behind me. I start running down the tunnel.

As I run, I hear voices and I see a fainted light. I can tell I'm right on their tail, even since I'm approaching to the start of Rapunzels long hair. Their voices are faint, but I can nearly make out what they're saying.

"What's that?" "Someone's coming!" "Flynn?" "Run for it!"

They come within my sight as soon as they start running. How nice, a chase. I would have stopped them by pulling the girl's hair, but they gathered it and start carrying it all in their arms. I chase after the two until we reach a dead end, which is a cliff right in front of a large wooden dam. Rapunzel is hiding behind Flynn while Flynn is looking at me with worry and fear.

I summon my Keyblade. "All right, you. Hand over the girl and no one gets hurt." I say. They both panic, but Flynn grabs Rapunzels frying pan and holds it out in front of him. I give a chuckle. "Really? A frying pan? I'm terrified. Don't hurt me." I say sarcastically.

Rapunzel looks up and gasps. "Wh-what about...that?"

Flynn looks up and gasps as well. I turn around looking up, I'm surprised as well. All over the dam, beavers. Not just beavers. They have Heartless symbols on them.

"Heartless." I barely say under my breath.

The Woodchuckers are chopping on the wood, they're gonna blow up the dam. One of them looks down at us and hisses loudly.

Five of the Woodchuckers jumps off of the dam, then three Archers spawns. I position myself. "Great!"

I fight off the Heartless. Those Woodchuckers are nasty biters, I'll give them that. I gather them all with Magnera, then I do Ars Arcanum, striking the Heartless with flurry of attacks. I defeated the Heartless. When the Ars Arcanum ends, I focus on the Woodchuckers on the dam, shooting my Fira spells at them.

My spells cause me to enter Spell Weaver. Most of the Woodchuckes dies, but more and more keeps on appearing and chewing up the dam. Defenders appear right in front of me, I focus on the Defenders, casting Zero Gravira then unleash Mega Flare. The defeated the Defenders.

However, it was too late for the Woodchuckers. Water is starting to burst through the dam, bit by bit. Rapunzel and Flynn doesn't hesitate to flee. Rapunzel uses her hair to swing her and Flynn to the ground.

I slowly back away as I see the damn's about to burst. "Oh crud..." Then the dam bursts. Millions of gallons of water rushes right through me and falls right into the canyon. Flynn and Rapunzel makes a run for it, with all of the water rushing up towards them.

They head towards a cave up ahead, where they might hope could be their only chance of escaping doom. The water splashes to the large pillar, knocking down the heavy boulder on top. As soon as Flynn and Rapunzel are in the cave, the large boulder from the pillar blocks their exit, with water still pouring in.

Flynn and Rapunzel tries to escape, only they realize that their little cave is a dead end. They are trapped with their life ending in a matter of minutes, seconds perhaps. They try to find a way out, but it's too dark for them to see.

"I can't see anything. It's too dark!" Flynn says.

The water is raising. It's already up to their knees, then waists. Rapunzel has an idea, but she isn't sure if it's a good one, cause that would mean her secret will be revealed. But what other choice does she have? The water's now up to their shoulders.

"Flynn?" Flynn looks at Rapunzel. "I have an idea, but...please don't freak out." Flynn looks confused, then Rapunzel begins to sing. "Flower gleam and glow! Let your power shine! Make the clock reverse! Being back what once was mine!" The water is up to their necks and shortly their chins. Rapunzel and Flynn had to tilt their heads close to the ceiling to catch their breath before becoming completely submerged.

That's when her hair starts to glow.

Flynn becomes shocked, even gasped which isn't really a good idea to do while underwater. Rapunzel's entire hair glows. Flynn notices a blocked hold, cause that's where Rapunzel's hair is being sucked too. That's gotta mean an escape for them.

They swim towards the blockage, Flynn starts pulling the rocks out of the way. The glow starts to fade and they're once again in total darkness. Then the light appears in front of them and the rest of the rocks and themselves gets pulled into the current.

They made it outside and land in a river. They pop out of the surface of water, gasping for air. Flynn and Rapunzel swims to land. As soon as they're on it, they lay down, panting. Resting to recover. After a brief moment, Flynn sits up in an instant.

"You're hair glows!" Flynn looks at Rapunzel freaking out. "Why does it glow!"

"Flynn. It doesn't just glow..." Rapunzel says, which confuses Flynn.

Back in the forest, Gothel goes for a walk. She arrives at this one corner where there's a hollow tree with a hidden door with the Snuggly Duckling symbol on it. Gothel just stands there, looking down at the door. She's aware it's a hidden door, then walks away.

Just then, she hears some rumbling from the door. On alert, she takes out her dagger, slowly creeping to the hidden door. Just then, the door opens and Gothel hides behind a boulder.

I climb out of the tunnel all wet, cough and gasping for air. I get on my feet. "Damn those infernal Heartless!" I give my coat a heavy single shake, which shakes a ton of water off of it. "I almost had her." I remove one of my boots, pouring all the water out of it. "But then they had to interfere!"

"You lost her?" I become startled then I see Gothel come out in the opening. "You've lost Rapunzel?"

"What are you doing here?" I ask, putting my boot back on.

"That's beside the point." Gothel says. "I told you to find Rapunzel and bring her home."

"I will, don't worry." I say. "I'm just getting started."

I make my leave, with Gothel just watching me from behind. She gives a dark frown. "Hmph...You better."

I continue my search through the woods. Soon enough, night takes the skies, but that doesn't stop my search. The Heartless spawning has gone downhill as I travel at night. I wonder why. Doesn't make any sense. Nighttime is the darkness yet the Heartless ratio is low. How come?

Rapunzel and Flynn alone in the woods in front of a campfire. Rapunzel is telling Flynn about her secret of her magical hair. She was born with this gift and the not only does the hair glow, but it can also heal the sick and injured, and the reason it's long is because she can never cut. Once the hair is cut, it loses it's powers and turns brown.

After explaining everything, Flynn and Rapunzel are on alert, for they hear a twig snap. Rapunzel gets behind Flynn, worried. "What was that?"

Flynn holds out the frying pan in front of him at the direction the noise came. But he wasn't prepared to face the monster that attacks them, which is a giant chameleon Heartless.
