World: Radiant Garden

In the morning light of Radiant Garden, Yuffie walked towards the city's newest resident: Rapunzel.

The brunette got a haircut the first day she was here, and even changing her clothes to blend in with the other residents. She stood next to a wall in the bailey overlooking the canyon outside of the city.

"Coffee?" Yuffie held out a thermos.

"Thank you."

They were silent for a moment as they watched the sun rise on a new day.

Down below was what looked to be the start of the 1000 Heartless battle Sora faced a year from now. But Rapunzel doesn't know that. To her, it's just a few scattered Heartless. Easy pickings.

In the distance is one of the few remaining castles that stay empty. Later Maleficent takes it over. Will she again?

Yuffie and the others spent the last week or two pouring over Sora's story back in Traverse Town.

It's amazing what would've happened a year from now onwards. A scream in town got their attention.

"Come on." Yuffie grinned and raised her cup.

"Back to work." Rapunzel tapped it with hers and the two finished their drinks. Rapunzel brought out her pan, taking the lead. She's saving up for a proper weapon at the shops. She needs all the Munny she can get! Yuffie hung back as backup.

World: Experimental Islands

Jasmine and Kairi hovered in their armor after that exhausting speed chase between Gantu and Jumba in their ships across the islands. But they were able to rescue Lilo in the end.

Using Lilo's photo to open a new gate, the girls set off.

Jasmine held a new appreciation for surfing now and smiled as they soared into the sky to Disembark to a new world.

The Lanes Between

They got a call from Aurora and Hades about a new restaurant to try when the renovation was done.

In transit in the Lanes Between, they bumped into the Jolly Roger with Ariel and Alice. The Pirates cheered as they neared. Dispelling their armor, the trio touched down on deck.

"Where did all this treasure come from?" Kairi looked around.

Ariel placed a diadem on her head as she and the nearby pirates tried to find any jewelry that would complement her in her mermaid form for drama's sake for the next world. (Hey, she IS a princess, let the boys have their fantasy). Even Alice found some cute accessories.

"Just be glad they're not cursed!" Said Mer cheerily spoke up.

"We even had to lock the chest to make sure the cursed Medallions won't get anyone else." Alice said distractedly as she dug into the pile next to her. "Want some? We're trying to decorate our Mermaid selves."

Kairi and Jasmine looked amused.

"Step aside girls, what do we have here?" Ursula gazed greedily at the piles of jewels.

Hook raised a flask in salute.

World: Holiday Guardians

Sora cheered as he watched his friends kick ass against the Nightmares. Without having to worry about the fairies, Cloud and Sephiroth were able to do their thing. Sora steered the sleigh with Skellington and Zero to help for defense as they flew. Oogie made it clear, he was just trying out his new toys via Pitch's' Nightmares.

Combined with his own toys from back in Halloweentown and a few Heartless.

The fight took to the skies, higher and higher. Frost and Sandman taking the lead followed by the others.

At some point in the fight, the Trick or Treaters went after Belle for old rivalries' sake, to Belle's amusement. Belle tried out Shotluck to replace the guns she borrowed.

Eventually, everyone could only stare as Cloud just summoned a crap-ton of Comets from off world, hitting the various Nightmares in one shot. It was like a meteor shower. But way too up close.

But then, Frost was able to get close and grab Oogie's Keyblade as Oogie fell as the black sand holding them up froze and shattered from Frost's magic.

The Keyblade stayed in his grip.

Belle could only gape.

Frost then tried to cast more ice, only for it to be more powerful than any ice spell he ever cast! It was like a giant Iceberg made of black sand and Ice.

Oogie screamed as he tried to get the Keyblade back. But Jack then threw the Keyblade at him causing the ice to shatter and Oogie to freefall. Sora, taking pity, soared in to catch him in the sleigh. To North, Bunny and Skellington's mercy.

With a Firaga from Sephiroth, the iceberg vanished so as not to crush anyone below.

The Guardians watched it from the around sleigh.

North knew the significance of that blade in Frosts' hands. But did Frost?

Meeting back at the Pole, the collected groups tried to calm and absorb what happened.

The Trick or Treaters hung around Oogie Boogie. But Shock did still talk to Belle while pointing to Frost.

North wanted to make Frost a Guardian. But it appears the boy is destined for more.

Eventually the group dispersed. Sora got one last look of the completed globe and asked if he could have a small copy to take home.

North had numerous books so just handed Sora a few small books about each continent and brief descriptions of each country. Grateful, Sora just hugged the jolly man.

Cracking a joke about being an early Christmas present, Sora smiled in thanks and joined the others.

While all this was happening, Sora was snoozing away. Apparently more exhausted than he realized…

World: Radiant Garden

Even though the Wayfinder trio had much to do, they still took the time for Ven.

In a strange roundabout way, Ventus got to live a normal life (for a week) as Roxas.

They learned he was friends with Hayner, Pence and Olette. The trio also helped Sora on a few occasions with Pence even setting up a shared network with Radiant Garden.

So, the group plus Axel made their way to the Restoration Committee for more details.

They got quite the shock with the photo album Cid produced.

Photo after photo… including the group photo from data Twilight Town.

Ven had a whole other life and proof that he made friends with Axel.

Aqua and Terra had a hard time understanding (all they ever knew were Keyblades and their training at Land of Departure) but were very supportive.

Also, curious. What kind of lives would they have had?

So, as they wandered the town, they bumped into Rapunzel. Watching as she used her frying pan to take down Heartless. She gave a cheer and then rushed by them towards the weapons' shop run by the triplets.

Giving a wave to Yuffie as she bounded after the girl, they watched as they went shopping for weapons.

Aqua gave a little cheer as Rapunzel went for a staff. The boys rolled their eyes fondly.

A boom in the sky, and a Gummi ship flew into orbit over town. A crowd followed as the ship landed in the town square to the crowd cheering.

A much younger Sora ran out followed by two winged men and three small flying girls. The group met up with Cid as Sora tried to tell the elder everything in one breath.

"-A complete globe! It has all the worlds before they separated!" Sora grinned.

THAT got their attention.

Shortly after that, another ship arrived.

The Jolly Roger.

The ship sailed in a circle over the city before docking in the water next to the nearest gate.

Soon, the rest of the girls/Villains portalled in.

It looked like Snow White and Jafar made some friends…

~/~

World: San Fransokyo

Snow White and Jafar stared in wonder at all the new tech in the room.

Just. Wow.

These two, who came from magic and boiling cauldrons… Are starting at the new age.

The group grew increasingly concerned with their behavior. It's as if they truly believe they are Snow White and Jafar. Iago must be a really good robot. Whoever was on the other end was spot on with its commentary.

The group moved on with their barrels and the duo startled and tried to catch up.

Tadashi smiled at them. "Take a look around after, we'll be over there. My brother, Hiro, is starting his presentation soon for his new invention. Would you like to see it?"

"Of course! I would love to see!" Snow clasped her hands and gushed. She wished she had many eyes to see everything!

"Follow me." He guided them back to the group, who was giving the boy a pep talk.

Jafar rolled his eyes at the "Woman up" comment. Why? Habit, and the fact that he was training a bunch of girls who have yet to grow up. Case in point? The princess next to him, cooing like a pigeon at every new sight. Ugh.

The boy shyly walked up on stage with a strange thin device on his head and held up something small. "It doesn't look like much, but when it links up with the rest of its pals…"

A rumble and those large barrels toppled over. Rats?! No…

The crowd parted for the wave of small black things. Heading to the stage.

"Things…" The boy continued holding out the small piece still in hand. "Get a little more interesting." The piece flew to join the others.

The reluctant crowd soon formed anew. "The microbots are controlled with this Neurotransmitter." He used both hands to lift it and the collected tower collapsed. He put it back on and it repaired itself. "I think what I want them to do," The cube formed a hand and 'waved' at the crowd. "They do it!"

Fascinating.

"The applications for this tech are limitless! Construction!" The Microbots morphed again. "What used to take teams of people working by months or years, can now be accomplished by one person." A magnificent metal tower formed near instantly. "That's just the beginning." He stepped off. "How about transportation! Microbots can move anything, anywhere, with ease." The boy spoke with each step upon instantly rising towers before traversing along the metal structures along the ceiling. "If you can think it, the Microbots can do it!" Working his way back to the stage. "The only limit is your imagination." As he made his way down from a moving spiral staircase without taking a step! "Microbots!" He proudly gestured to the things making a giant version of what was once in his hand.

The crowd went wild. Jafar could help but applaud as well as the princess cheered with the rest of the children.

An amused brow rose at the woman declaring them family as she cheered. But his instincts had him looking at an approaching pair.

The princess also seemed to lose some of her cheer.

With a glance, we shared a mutual concern over the two gentlemen the more they spoke about the boy's invention.

Snow seemed to latch on to the 'cut corners' part. Hmm…

"I look forward to seeing you in class." The children became rambunctious again in their cheer while the princess remained thoughtful, but attempted to remain supportive and asked a multitude of questions about… class.

As the brothers walked away, my gaze strayed towards the building.

"Jafar? You felt that too?" Snow White leaned over ever curious.

"Indeed. Not the business man, but the professor." Arms crossed, I tapped my fingers in thought."

"And where is Iago?"

"I had him stay behind. Something is amiss. There is ample opportunity now that the area is vacated."

As he spoke, Iago flew out of one of the windows with the strange Neurotransmitter the boy wore on stage.

Iago landed on Jafars' shoulder and dropped the device in Jafars' hand.

"Iago?" Snow inquired cautiously.

"You were right, Jafar!" Iago squaked. " That man tried to take it and was setting up to burn the place down!"

"Oh dear!" As she said this they saw Heartless rise up near the entrance and fly in.

Screaming.

"Go. I shall return this to the boy. This man is child's play." He turned to walk away after giving her backwards praise that made her beam.

Summoning her Keyblade, starting onlookers, they watched a cosplayer charge in after those strange creatures.

The explosion still happened, but Tadashi still lived.

Cell phones are amazing things. You can record anything and it winds up on the internet.

And the news.

Ok, so they really aren't cosplayers…

~/~

As the group made their way back to the cafe (after being bombarded by the news reporters. Jafar ended up taking over answers as Snow appeared flustered by the attention).

Breaking news! Three fictional characters are REAL and have further abilities than previously shown in movies! (Keyblades and cross magic training tend to do that lol)

The collective nerd group gushed over Snow Whites Keyblade.

The brothers stepped aside after a bit to talk about school after what happened. Hiro is still going, but what happened with the professor put a damper on their mood. So, Tadashi gently pushed him back towards Snow White, ever eager to learn new things.

The duo were grateful, Jafar stopped what could have been a disaster by returning the Neurotransmitter. Even though the professor was in the hospital from the explosion.

Snow decided to do some digging.

After a delightful day following, Snow and Jafar preened with the attention the nerds provided. Tadashi even showed off Baymax to the group. Early on in the day, however, Jafar ended up with a glowing Microbot from last night.

"If I must…" Jafar sighed and gracefully rose from lounging gracefully on the old couch.

Summoning his Keyblade, he sealed the Keyhole and opened a new gate.

Baymax recorded everything. He noticed many differences between the guests and the nerds. Doing a scan, there are no other matches to correspond with the irregularities. But Hiro comes closest. Further data needed.

Snow clearly wants to stay awhile. Later she told Jafar her concerts sensing the Darkness was strong in this world. A side effect of being a Maiden of Light, the ability to sense the Darkness.

He contemplated this and allowed her to stay. Their job sealing the keyhole is done and the only Heartless sightings were the explosion. Perhaps a connection? He bid her farewell to do his own research. Perhaps a visit to their healers to visit a certain patient is in order.

He opened a corridor of darkness and vanished.

~/~

So, in short, Snow was grinning like a madwoman wearing new armor and making new friends. They gave her this… AR device (Like what they gave Sora) to stay in touch and to help her off world.

Jafar was smiling too. Don't ask.

Snows' theory was correct after Jafar interrogated Calloway about his daughter.

She was in the realm of Darkness, not aging like Aqua.

Due to her immunity, Snow was able to retrieve his daughter no problem (caught on camera via a stunned reporter who happened to be nearby.)

With a Curaga spell, she woke up and was quickly sent to the hospital.

All in all, her favorite moments were torn between two. Flying with Hiro on Baymax, with herself in her armor, and fighting alongside her new friends against the Heartless due to proximity to the Realm of Darkness and the Corridor of Darkness created during the accident.

Snow went on her instinct and gave Hiro a Keyblade to defend his home as the proximity remained. They must consult Sora on this…

As for why Jafar is smug, he swiped some microbots and the transmitter for later use…
