Chapter 25: Trouble in Disney Castle
In what looks like a library a female black mouse wearing a pink and red dress and a crown is looking at some books.
"Hmm. I do wonder where that old album could be…" The female mouse said.
"Queen Minnie!" A voice called and two small chipmunks come rushing in the library and one chipmunk has a black nose while the other chipmunk has a red nose. "Something is wrong in the Hall of the Cornerstone!" The black nosed chipmunk named Chip said.
"There're sharp thorns everywhere!" The red nosed chipmunk named Dale said.
Queen Minnie, Chip, and Dale arrive at the Hall of Cornerstone and in it is a giant light orb and in the room are a bunch of thorns and Minnie has a worried look.
"Oh, King Mickey, I wish you can hear me. Something is wrong in the castle, and we have to do something soon. Donald, Goofy, where are you?" Minnie asked.
Meanwhile Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas leave Central City and return to the space area while the Gummi ship also leaves Central City and the group begin to search for the next world and they later come across a world that has a white and blue castle and so the group decide to go in that world and Ky and Noel use their Keyblades to create a light trail and create a light portal and the group follow the light trail and enter the light portal while the Gummi ship lands.
In what looks like a garage the light portal appears and Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas fly out of the light portal before it disappears while the Gummi ship lands in the garage and Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive and they look around.
"What's this place?" T.J. asked.
"Hey, I know it!" Max said.
"Yup! This is our castle." Goofy said.
"So, this is your castle…" Sora said.
"Is it nice to be back home?" Noel asked.
"Well?" Sora asked.
"What's wrong?" Tails asked.
"Ya know, somethin' just don't feel quite right…" Goofy said.
"Yeah!" Donald said.
Just then Chip and Dale arrive at the garage and come rushing to the group.
"You're back!" Chip said.
"Move it! Let's go!" Dale said.
"Just what's the problem?" Elena asked.
"Queen Minnie needs to see you!" Chip said.
"The castle's in danger! Hurry! To the library!" Dale said.
"Let's go then." Ky said.
The group start moving through the garage area and they later go for the next area.
The group leave the garage and are now outside in what looks like a courtyard and they look at the giant castle.
(World of Disney Castle)
(Disney Castle: Courtyard)
(Battle Theme: Dance to the Death)
As the group explore around the courtyard Phantom Black Xetis, Vampirebat Black Xetis, and Mummy Black Xetis appears along with Shadow Heartless and Soldier Heartless appear.
"Black Xetis! Heartless!" Max said.
"NOT here!" Donald yelled.
"Get rid of them!" Zatch said.
The Black Xetis and the Heartless attack the group but Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope while Noel triple slashes with Radiant Salvation while Sora casts Gravity to bring them down while Donald casts Thunder while Goofy uses Shield Torpedo while Elena shoots magic concussive blasts while Ken unleashes magic music waves while Max uses Cyclone while Tails fires lasers from his blaster while Blaze uses Fire Drill while Shadow throws Chaos Spears while Storm uses Volt Tackle while Grace uses Growl while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Lucky uses Headbutt while T.J. multi slashes with his knife while Zuko unleashes a jet of flames while Sly uses Dive Attack while Bentley throws bombs while Murray uses Turbo Charge while Lucas uses PK Fire and they defeat the Black Xetis and Heartless but more appear.
"Are you serious?" Sora asked.
"Dammit! Why're they comin' here?!" Ken asked.
"No time! We should just head for the library!" Noel said.
"Right! Let's get going." Kiyo said.
The group go through the courtyard while still fighting off invading Black Xetis and Heartless and they later go for the inside of the castle and enter the next area.
(Disney Castle: Colonnade)
The group arrive inside the castle and are now in the colonnade area but then Phantom Black Xetis and Shadow Heartless appear and attack the group again but Ky casts Aero to send them upward allowing Noel to cast Thunder while Sora aerial slashes with Kingdom Key while Donald casts Earth while Goofy uses Goofy Turbo while Elena whacks with her staff while Ken bashes with his guitar while Max bashes with his shield while Tails shoots shots from his blaster while Blaze unleashes flame waves while Shadow uses Chaos Rift while Storm uses Iron Tail while Grace uses Bite while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Lucky uses Egg Throw while T.J. slashes with his knife while Zuko slashes with his broadswords while Sly attacks with his cane while Bentley shoots electric darts while Murray uses Tornado Punch while Lucas uses PK Love but more Phantom Black Xetis and Shadow Heartless appear and attack the group again but the group keep fighting them off while going through the colonnade to find the library and later on they reach the end of the hall and find a door and go for the next area.
(Disney Castle: Library)
The group arrive at the library and they find Minnie and Donald and Goofy go in salute and same for Max.
"Your Majesty! Queen Minnie, we're back!" Donald said.
"Oh, you're here!" Minnie said.
"Your Royal Highness, did ya happen to summon us?" Goofy asked.
"Yes." Minnie said.
"What seems to be the problem, Your Highness?" Max asked.
"Oh, Max! You're here too?! I thought you were gone for so long!" Minnie said.
"I did…leave, but I'm back, and I'll help, no matter what!" Max said.
"Oh, thank you." Minnie said.
Just then Sora pushes Donald and Goofy aside.
"So, where's the King?" Sora asked.
Just then Elena whacks Sora's head with her staff.
"IDIOT! This is their QUEEN you're talking to! Show some RESPECT!" Elena shouted.
"Elena, calm down." Ky said.
"Excuse him. This is our friend, Sora." Donald introduced.
"Oh, so you're Sora! The King told me all about you in his letters. He told me you're a brave young man." Minnie said.
"So, do you know where he is?" Sora asked but Minnie shakes her head.
"Oh…" Max said.
"You must be Queen Minnie. It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty. I'm Ky. You already know Max. These are my other friends, Elena, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, and Murray." Ky introduced while bowing to Minnie and his friends do the same.
"I'm also Noel. It's nice to meet you, Your Highness. These are Ken, Grace, Zuko, and Lucas." Noel introduced while bowing and so did her friends.
"It's a pleasure to meet you and your friends as well, Ky and Noel, but please, you don't have to be formal. You may just call me Minnie." Minnie said.
"If you say so, Your Highness." Blaze said.
"Queen Minnie, what are Heartless doing in your castle?" Donald asked.
"Yeah, and why are the Black Xetis here?" Sly asked.
"Oh, my. So those are the Heartless and the Black Xetis." Minnie said.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of 'em!" Sora said.
"Yeah. You can depend on us." Ky said.
"I know I can count on all of you. Now, there's something I'd like all of you to come and see. Would you please escort me to the audience chamber?" Minnie asked.
"Yes, ma'am!" Everyone said saluting.
"Oh, no! I forgot to warn everyone else in the castle about the danger! We must be sure they're hidden somewhere safe!" Minnie said.
"Then, we'll go tell them." Sora said.
"The whole castle?" Donald asked.
"That'll just take forever!" Ken said.
"We just gotta split up." Goofy said.
"Good idea, Dad." Max said.
"Let's go make sure everyone knows what's happening." Noel said.
"No! You'll get lost!" Donald said.
"In that case, some of us will go with Donald, and the others go with Goofy." Bentley said.
"That's a good idea." Zuko said.
"And Ky, Noel, and I will stay with the Queen." Sora said.
"Good!" Donald said.
"Alrighty then. See ya later!" Goofy said.
"Let's hurry!" Elena said.
"You three be careful." Lucas said.
"Yeah. You too." Ky said as the others leave.
"Now then, you said want to go to the audience chamber?" Noel asked.
"Yes. Let's be on our way." Minnie said.
"Got it, Your Highness!" Sora said.
Ky, Noel, Sora, and Minnie leave the library and return to the colonnade and the three start to escort Minnie but then Phantom Black Xetis, Goblin Black Xetis, Shadow Heartless, and bomb Heartless appear and attack but Ky vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope and then casts Water to wash them away while Noel horizontal slashes with Radiant Salvation and then delivers an edge slash while Sora delivers two diagonal slashes with Kingdom Key and then delivers a swing slash but more Black Xetis and Heartless appear to attack but Minnie summons a light orb and sends it at the Black Xetis and the Heartless and the three Keybearers continue to escort Minnie through the colonnade but more Black Xetis and Heartless appear to attack but Ky, Noel, and Sora get close to Minnie and together they unleash a light beam to strike at the Black Xetis and the Heartless and continue through the colonnade and they later come across a big door that's covered in a magic barrier.
"Just one moment." Minnie said as she casts a spell to get rid of the magic barrier.
"Just what happened?" Ky asked.
"As soon as the trouble started, I made sure to seal this room." Minnie said as she opens the door revealing a small part of the door to be opened. "Now, shall we?" Minnie asked.
"Yes, Your Highness." Noel said.
Ky, Noel, and Sora go through the door and enter the next area.
(Disney Castle: Audience Chamber)
As the four enter the audience chamber they see many Dragon Black Xetis and Bolt Tower Heartless swarming the chamber.
(Battle Theme: Rowdy Rumble)
"Oh, no! Not here too!" Minnie said.
"We got this!" Ky said.
"Yeah. Just stay behind us." Sora said.
(Information: Protect Minnie while heading for the throne!)
Ky, Noel, and Sora begin escorting Minnie to the throne but the Dragon Black Xetis breathe black fire while the Bolt Tower Heartless unleash shock wave but Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope while Noel casts Aero while Sora delivers three vertical slashes with Kingdom Key while Minnie unleashes light orbs to strike and they keep going for the throne but the Bolt Tower Heartless deliver attacks with their faces while the Dragon Black Xetis fly and then tail whip but Ky, Noel, Sora, and Minnie unleash a light pillar to send them back and defeat them and they keep going for the throne but the Dragon Black Xetis breathe more black fire while the Bolt Tower Heartless unleash shock waves but Ky casts Earth while Noel triple slashes with Radiant Salvation while Sora slashes with Kingdom Key and they continue to escort Minnie to the throne and later on they reach for the throne.
"Good. Now we can…" Ky was cut off as more Dragon Black Xetis and Bolt Tower Heartless appear.
"C'mon, give us a break!" Sora said.
Minnie searches the throne for something and she later finds a switch at the bottom of a rim of the throne and presses it causing the floor to move and showing a shining ray of light and the light destroys the Dragon Black Xetis and Bolt Tower Heartless and the audience chamber is clear.
"Wow." Ky said.
"What now, Queen Minnie?" Noel asked.
"The room below is called the 'Hall of the Cornerstone'. Our castle has always been safe from worlds that are evil, thanks to the Cornerstone of Light, which we keep down there." Minnie said.
"The Cornerstone…of Light?" Sora asked.
"We'll have to see for ourselves." Ky said.
"Hurry!" Noel said.
The three follow Minnie for the next area.
(Disney Castle: The Hall of the Cornerstone)
Ky, Noel, Sora, and Minnie arrive at the room with the light sphere and many thorns and the rest of the group arrive.
"Holy…!" Ky stops talking.
"It's so… What happened?" Noel asked.
"This is the castle's cherished Cornerstone, but look. The thorns…they must be the work of someone very evil. I wonder what this could mean…" Minnie said.
Just then green and black flames appear in front of the group and it's the same green woman and Sora, Donald, and Goofy are shocked to see the woman.
"You're…" Sora stops talking.
"Maleficent!" Donald said shocked.
"THAT'S Maleficent?" Ky asked.
"She's…your enemy?" Noel asked.
"Uh-huh." Goofy answered.
"Wow, she's…scary and evil." Max said.
The woman named Maleficent sees Sora, Donald, and Goofy.
"Well, well, well. What have we here? It's the wretched Keyblade holder and his pitiful lackeys!" Maleficent said.
"No way!" Sora said.
"What?! Now you'll deal with me!" Donald yelled as he charges at Maleficent but Donald goes through her and bumps into the Cornerstone's pedestal.
"Hey, bitch! If they're so pitiful, how come they kicked your evil ass?!" Ken asked.
"Oh, so that Eggman fellow was right. There are two other wretched Keyblade wielders, and they have pathetic friends at their side!" Maleficent said looking at Ky, Noel, and their friends.
"Nice to meet you face-to-face, Maleficent! We were SOOOO Looking forward to seeing your hideous face!" Elena said.
"Why don't you come over, so we can deal with you personally?" Murray asked.
"Yeah, against us, you won't have a chance, ya hag! So how 'bout it?!" T.J. said.
"All in good time. I promise these three fools will partake of my vengeance, and I'll gladly destroy you all as well, perhaps for fun, but you will have to wait." Maleficent said.
"Just what are you doing here, Maleficent?!" Minnie demanded.
"Ah, Queen Minnie. Radiant as always." Maleficent said bowing. "I'm here on a property venture. I want this castle for my own. However, it's a bit too 'bright' for what I have in mind. I suppose I'll just have to fill every room with my personal touch of darkness." Maleficent said as she touches the Cornerstone of Light.
"How dare you!" Noel said as she takes out Radiant Salvation.
"That's despicable!" Kiyo said.
"You'd better stop this right now if you know what's good for you!" Minnie said.
"Ooh, how frightening!" Maleficent said.
"Hey, Maleficent! You remember how we defeated you?! Unless you want that again, then back off!" Sora yelled.
"And as a bonus, we'll take you on too!" Ky said.
"Very well. I'll stop…just as soon as this castle belongs to me!" Maleficent said as she disappears in black and green flames and laughs maniacally.
"What a hag." Sora said.
"Bitch is more like it." Ken said.
"She reminds me A LOT of Azula." Zuko said
"Just why is this happening?" Shadow asked.
"Nothing like this has ever happened before. I looked through the records in the library, but I couldn't find a single clue." Minnie said.
"Then, maybe someone might know the problem." Elena said.
"But who?" Blaze asked.
"Oh! I know! We should ask somebody who knows lotsa stuff that ain't in any book!" Goofy said.
"Merlin the Wizard!" Donald said.
"That sounds like a good idea!" Zatch said.
"Yes! That's perfect! Merlin just might know something about this madness." Minnie said.
"Let's go ask his advice." Noel said.
"He should be in Hollow Bastion." Sly said.
"In that case, we'll be right back." Bentley said.
"Your Highness, will you be okay here until we get back?" Ky asked.
"Yes. Please hurry." Minnie said.
Ky and Noel use their Keyblades to create a light portal and the group go through the light portal and leave Disney Castle while Sora, Donald, and Goofy go back to the Gummi ship.
The group return to Lanes Between and they make their way for Hollow Bastion.
(Field Theme: Reviving Hollow Bastion)
(Hollow Bastion: Merlin's House)
The group arrive at Merlin's house.
"Anybody home?" Sora asked.
"Merlin!" Donald called.
"Where are you?!" Elena called.
"The castle's in danger!" Goofy called.
"We need your help!" Lucas called.
Just then Merlin appears.
"Now, what is all that racket?" Merlin asked and he sees the group. "Oh, my! It's you!" Merlin said.
"Yeah, it's us." Ky said.
"It looks like you three have learned a bit since last time I saw you." Merlin said.
"Really?!" Sora asked.
"We don't have time for this!" Shadow yelled.
"Shadow's right! We have a problem! It's Maleficent! She's back!" Donald said.
"Where?! Inside the castle?" Merlin asked.
"Yes, and same goes for the Black Xetis and the Heartless!" Tails said.
"Oh, dear…" Merlin said.
Donald starts explaining everything that's happened in Disney Castle.
Back at the Hall of Cornerstone.
"There're Heartless and Black Xetis in every part of the castle! The Queen is in danger!" Donald said but the group are already transported back to Disney Castle and in the hall.
"Hey, Duck boy, if you're done yappin', we're here. So, shut up." Ken said making Donald glare at him.
"Perhaps, I'd better just see for myself." Merlin said as he examines the Cornerstone of Light. "Interesting…" Merlin said.
"What's happening, Merlin?" Minnie asked.
"This is not good. In fact, I fear it's quite serious." Merlin said as he casts a spell to conjure a giant white door.
"What is that?" Noel asked.
"That, my friends, is a gateway to a special world. Someone in that world is responsible for what's going on in this castle. Of that, I'm certain." Merlin said.
"Oh, boy!" Donald said.
"That's great." T.J. said.
"We knew we could count on you, Merlin." Goofy said.
"In that case, let's go." Ky said.
"Yeah. Let's get him!" Sora said as he starts to open the door.
"Wait a moment! The perpetrators must be stopped, of course, but there's something else to do first. Somewhere in that world, there should be another door that's identical to this one. I believe our enemies are utilizing that door. As long as it remains open, the castle will be in grave danger. Sora, Ky, Noel, you must find that door and when you do, lock it with your Keyblades." Merlin said.
"Got it!" Sora said.
"No problem!" Ky said.
"We'll do our best!" Noel said.
"Now, one more thing. You're heading into a very special world. While you're there, the nature of that world may tempt you to do something dark. You must resist that temptation at all costs!" Merlin said.
"What temptation?" Ky asked.
"You'll find out soon enough. I have faith in you all!" Merlin said.
"Okay then. Thanks, Merlin." Sora said.
"Ready?" Goofy asked.
Just then a quake occurs.
"What was that?" Zuko asked.
"Something terrible is happening in the castle!" Blaze said.
Tails and Bentley take out their techno maps.
"More Black Xetis and Heartless have invaded the castle!" Tails said.
"Because of the darkness Maleficent sent, they'll just keep coming!" Bentley said.
"Oh, dear…" Minnie said.
"What do we do?" Donald asked.
"I got it! Ky, Noel, you two should go with Sora, Donald, and Goofy to that special world, and find that door to seal it. We'll stay behind and deal with the Black Xeti and Heartless invasion." Elena said.
"Are you sure you wanna do that?" Ky asked.
"What if they're stronger than before?" Noel asked.
"Heh! Don't worry about us! We can kick ass! You have faith in us, right?" Ken said.
"Yeah, but…" Sora stops talking.
"Then, we already made up our minds. Let us deal with the Black Xetis and the Heartless, and you guys go to that world and settle with closing that door to save the castle." Sly said.
"We'll be fine." Zatch said.
"Well, if ya say so. Are ya stayin' behind too, Maxi?" Goofy asked.
"Dad, I always wanted to protect the castle from danger. Now's my chance to prove myself. Go to that world, and I'll stay here with the others to do what I wanted to do." Max said.
"Okay then. We trust you. Be careful." Ky said.
"You too." T.J. said as they leave the Hall of the Cornerstone.
"Good luck to you all." Minnie said.
"C'mon!" Donald said.
"Yeah, we have a mission to do." Noel said.
Ky, Noel, and Sora go for the door and they open it revealing to be a bright light and it covers the three, Donald, and Goofy as they go through the door to enter the special world.
