With that out of the way, here's the next chapter. Enjoy!
"Keybladers huh?", Prince Adam said curiously. All of them were now in the castle library. Huge stacks of books decorated shelves that reached high to the ceiling. People, no longer furniture, kept busy to make sure the room stayed nice and tidy. Sora had just finished explaining their situation. "And you think they're here?"
"They could be anywhere," Kairi said. "On any world. Yours was our next stop."
"I'm so sorry about your world, Mulan," Belle said gently. Mulan looked away sadly.
"It's alright," she responded.
"So, have you seen anyone who may be carrying around an oversized key?" Sora asked grinning.
"No one besides you," Adam replied. He stroked his chin in thought. "There may be someone in town who has one. It's just through the forest."
"That would be perfect," Belle said happily. "I would like to visit my father." Adam smiled.
"Then it's settled. Let's go!" He jumped from his seat and ran to the exit. Belle giggled and followed after. Sora watched them leave. This was not the same snarling Beast that he once knew. In more than one way. He was more happy, easy-going. It reminded him of himself.
"Hey, wait up!", he shouted.
They all ran to the castle gates where Cogsworth happened to be. "We're going into town Cogsworth. Be back in awhile," the prince informed. He grabbed his purple cloak from a coat rack and strapped it around his neck.
"Oh, do be careful then, sire. Lots of vagrants about these days you know," Cogsworth lectured.
""I know," Adam said.
"See you, Cogsworth!" Sora said.
"Bye!", said Kairi and they were all out the door.
They walked down the path through the pine forest, careful to follow the signs so as not to get lost. Birds sang as they flew overhead. Squirrels ran along the forest floor collecting nuts and acorns for their winter feast. "So, if you don't mind me asking," Sora began, to Adam and Belle. "When did it happen? You know, your turning back to normal." Adam and Belle smiled.
"It wasn't long after we defeated Xaldin. When Belle got the rose back, it was then we realized our feelings for one another. The spell was then lifted from castle." Belle entwined her fingers with his and kissed him on the cheek.
"That's so romantic!" Kairi said gushing. Mulan looked at the couple sadly.
The forest ended at a small village. People roamed about in the streets, going about their daily lives. They waved to each other as they passed. It was the kind of town were everyone knew your name.
"Bonjour!", a man called from his window.
"Bonjour!", another man called from his window.
"Bonjour!"
"Bonjour!"
"Uh, bon-jur," Sora said as he walked by.
"Friendly place," Mulan commented.
As they walked down the streets, people waved to Adam and Belle, greeting them cheerfully. "Hello Belle! Hello Prince!"
"Nice to see you!"
"Belle! Prince Adam! Nice to see you again!"
"Hey, how are things in the castle?'
Belle and Adam laughed and waved back to the friendly villagers. Store owners even came out to wave at the happy couple. They kept on walking as they greeted, coming to a red roofed house at the end of the street. There was a brown horse tethered to a post outside. It ate the grass with a content expression on its face. Belle went over and patted it gently. It neighed happily and nuzzled her cheek.
They walked up the steps to the door and went inside. They saw a small balding man with grey hair working on a strange device. It was equipped with a steam engine and an axe sticking out the front. "Papa!", Belle exclaimed.
The man turned around revealing him wearing goggles that magnified his eyes to five times their normal size. "Belle you're back!", he said, taking off his goggles revealing his cheerful old eyes. Belle ran to her father and gave him a hug. "Oh, what a nice surprise! A visit from my daughter and future son-in-law!"
"Papa!" Belle said, embarrassed.
Her father chuckled. "Alright, alright, I'll hold my tongue. Adam how are you treating my daughter these days? No more growling I hope." Adam laughed.
"Not anymore, Maurice," the prince laughed. "I'd like to introduce you to my friends. This is Belle's father, Maurice. It was because of him that Belle and I met."
"You threw me in a dungeon and Belle had to rescue me," Maurice said indignantly. Adam winced.
"I'm Sora," Sora said, jerking his thumb to himself.
"My name's Kairi," said Kairi.
"I am Mulan," Mulan said bowing.
"Oh, I love meeting new people! Especially if I get to show off my new invention. I was just about to test it." Maurice ran to his contraption and pulled a lever. The device started to hum and vibrate and everyone took a cautious step backwards. Steam billowed out of the engines, whistling shrilly. The axe then shot down and cut the log placed in front of it in half. The two pieces flew through the air and landed perfectly on the pile of firewood. "It works? It works! Hahahaha! Even I doubted myself! But I showed me!"
"Congratulations, Papa!", Belle said giving him another hug.
Mulan cautiously poked the device. "What a strange machine. We don't have this in my world."
"In your what?" Maurice questioned. Everyone froze.
"Uh, what she meant to say was her country." Adam covered. "You see, Mulan is from a far off land and the customs there are different." Everyone nodded.
"Oh, I see," Maurice said. "Well its good to know I'm doing better than other countries." He laughed. Everyone grinned weakly. "But tell me, what brings you here? Just came to visit a senile old man?"
"Actually, Papa, we're looking for something. Have you seen anyone in town that has a large key. The size of a club?" Maurice gave his daughter a questionable look.
"Are you feeling alright dear? Don't let the asylum hear you talking like this." Belle hung her head. Unbeknownst to her father, Sora summoned his Keyblade behind his back.
"She means something like this," Sora said, showing the key-shaped weapon. Maurice studied it carefully and shook his head.
"Nope. Haven't seen anything like it. It is interesting though. Where did you get it?", he asked.
"Long story," Sora said.
"Well I guess we have to look around ourselves," Adam said. "Belle, would you like to stay here for awhile?" Belle smiled and nodded. "Alright, let's go guys." Everyone, with the exception of Belle, exited the house.
"Mulan, you have to keep a low profile. Not a lot of people know about the other worlds." Sora lectured. Mulan bowed her head in apology.
"I'm sorry," she said.
BLAM
They all jumped at the sound of a gun being fired. A bird landed not two feet in front of them, dead as a doornail. They all stepped back, looking for the source of the shot.
"Good shot, Gaston!", a nasely voice exclaimed. They all turned to the source of the voice. A tiny man with an abnormally large nose and hands was standing next to a man holding a rifle pointed skyward. The man lowered his rifle to reveal his face. He was a relatively handsome young man with long black hair tied into a ponytail. His neck was thick and his chin jutted out. He wore a red shirt which was tight on account of his bulging muscles. He smirked cruelly at his handiwork. The small man ran to the dead bird and collected it. "Excellent shot! Phenomenal! No one's a better shot then you Gaston!"
"Don't I know it, LeFou," the man, Gaston, said smugly. He turned his dark eyes to the party in front of his kill. "Well, well, if it isn't the prince himself. Come to mingle with the little folk?"
"Gaston," Adam acknowledged, with obvious distaste.
Gaston walked up to Adam and effectively sized him up. "It's not everyday you come down from your little castle. What brings you here? Babysitting?", he asked looking at Sora and Kairi, who scowled at him.
"Belle wished to see her father, nothing more." Adam looked to his companions, giving them a look that said 'say nothing about the Keyblades'.
"Ah, so Belle is in town!", Gaston exclaimed, smiling cruelly. "I have missed her beautiful face. You've kept her cooped up in that castle for so long that not even her own father can see her." Adam frowned at his words. "Now if Belle were my woman, I would keep her busy. She would rub my feet, clean the house, look after the children, all boys of course."
"Sounds like you want a maid more then a girlfriend," Kairi said indignantly.
"Hey, back off missy!", the small man, LeFou said, waving the dead bird in front of Kairi. She looked away in disgust. "Don't you know who you're talking too? No one's a better guy than Gaston. You would be lucky to have a husband like him!" Kairi made a face of disgust.
"Please, LeFou, my heart belonged to only one woman. But she was taken from me, by a prince that seemingly came out of no where. From a castle no one has seen up until a few months ago. Its all very suspicious if you ask me."
"No one asked you," Sora said. Gaston turned to him
"My aren't you a cheeky little boy," he said pinching Sora's cheeks painfully. "Here, have a vote for Gaston button!" He slapped a button with his face on it to Sora's shirt.
"That'll be two dollars," LeFou said. "Plus a small service charge of fifty bucks!" Sora scowled and ripped the button off.
Gaston got right into Adam's face. "Let me tell you something, prince. The moment Belle dumps you she will come running into my open arms and I'll just laugh and laugh and laugh." LeFou broke out laughing for emphasis.
"Dully noted," the prince boredly said, before he and the others walked off.
"Who was that guy?" Mulan asked as they walked down the streets.
"Gaston," Adam said. "A celebrity around here, so to speak. He's a ruthless hunter and loves himself more than anything else in this world. He proposed to Belle before she met me, but it wasn't love, it was lust. He thought they would look perfect together. The town hero and the village beauty. She turned him down. Needless to say that ticked him off."
"Then she met you," Kairi said, helpfully.
"Yeah, and Gaston and I never really got along afterwards. I really don't trust him. I know he still wants Belle, and will probably never stop." Adam looked up at the setting sun. "It's getting kind of late. Maybe we should continue our search in the morning. Will you be staying?"
"Sure, why not?" Sora said.
KHKHKHKH
Belle woke with a start from her sound sleep. She'd had an awful dream. A dream about shadows, monsters, Keyblades? It was a terrible nightmare. People from lands all over were in terrible pain. All caused by three mysterious figures. She looked around her room cautiously, scanning it for any kind of explanation to these dreams.
She whipped her head around. She thought she heard a sound. She peered where the noise had come from but saw nothing. Only darkness. She heard another sound but, again, nothing.
Belle frowned, not exactly satisfied that there was nothing there. But she was tired and lay back down to sleep. In the shadows, two glowing red eyes opened and turned to the sleeping woman.
KHKHKHKH
"excuse me Are you an angel?" , a disheveled boy asks. His hair was dirty blond and he wore old raggedy clothes. He sat on the counter inside a filthy junk shop. In the back an odd amphibious creature with long webby ears was playing around with the dangerous equipment.
His question was directed to a teenage girl who's brown hair was done in a bun. She wore peasants garb and was very beautiful. "a What?", she said, confused by his question.
"An angel," the boy said again. " I've heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They live on the moons of Iego I think. They're the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They're good and kind, and so pretty they make even the most hardened space pirate cry."
The girl stares at the boy, not knowing what to say. "I've never heard of angels," she said.
"You must be one. Maybe you just don't know it."
The girl smiles at him. "You're a funny little boy. How do you know so much?"
"I listen to all the traders and star pilots who come through here. I'm a pilot you know, and some day I'm going to fly away from this place."
"You're a pilot?"
The boy nodded. "uh-huh. All my life!"
"How long have you been here?", the girl questions.
"Since I was very little, three I think. My Mom and I were sold to Gardulla the Hut, but she lost us betting on the podraces, to Watto, who's a lot better master than Gardulla, I think."
"You're a...slave?", the girl asks, shocked.
The boy gives her a defiant look. "I'm a person! And my name is Anakin."
"I'm sorry," the girl said, looking around. "I don't fully understand but…This is a strange world to me."
Anakin studies her intently. "You're a strange girl to me," he says. The girl smiles at him.
At that moment a man entered from the back of the shop. He wore long robes and had an aura of power and authority about him. Behind him was a strange blue flying creature with a short snout. "Come, we're leaving," the man said to the girl and the long eared creature. Before she follows, she turns to Anakin again.
"I'm glad to have met you, ...ah,"
"Anakin," he says. "Anakin Skywalker." The girl smiles.
"Padme Naberrie."
"I'm glad I've got to meet you too." Said Anakin.
KHKHKHKH
Sora woke from his sleep and rubbed his eyes wearily. "What a weird dream," he muttered sleepily. But was it a dream? It seemed so real. Who were those people? It was like the vision he'd had of the King, but he had no idea who this Anakin Skywalker was. Or anyone else for that matter.
A shrill scream snapped him out of his thoughts. His head shot up right and he jumped out of bed and headed towards the door. He entered the hallway where he found Mulan and Kairi, having exited their room to see what was going on. "What was that?", Kairi asked.
From their quarters, emerged Adam, Cogsworth and Lumiere, each now wide awake. "That sounded like Belle!" Adam said. At that moment, Mrs. Potts ran in from the direction of Belle's room.
"It's Belle! She's gone!", the maid announced. Adam's eyes grew wide with horror.
"What!", he shouted. He ran down the hall, past Mrs. Potts to the direction of his love's room. Everyone looked at each other worriedly before following quickly after.
Adam ran frantically down the dark halls of his castle. His hair was not drawn into a ponytail, so it flew wildly behind him. But nothing slowed him down, not in the slightest. He finally reached her door and found it open. What he saw caused dread throughout his body. The room was ripped apart. The walls were covered with claw marks, sharp and straight. The bed banister was broken in half and the sheets were ripped to shreds. Belle was nowhere to be found.
Sora and the others arrived right after the horrified Adam, taking in the state of the room with the same feeling. "What happened?" Mulan whispered. The prince ran into the room, trying to find some clue as to where Belle had gone.
"Belle..." Kairi said sadly.
"Oh dear, this is terrible!" Cogsworth said miserably.
'No," the prince said. "No, not again. Never again!", he shouted. He rounded to the door and ran past the startled party. They all followed after. They were all running back the way they had come, passing by the same tapestries and statues as before. They came to the large doors at the end of the hall that lead to Adam's room. Stepping inside, they found the young prince hunched over something in front of the large pained window. The once destroyed bedroom was now repaired to house the prince. The enchanted rose was gone, no longer needed to lift the spell. Where it once rested, was where Adam stood know.
He turned to face them, holding in his hand a mirror of intricate design. "This mirror," he said, holding up said object. "It was given to me by the enchantress. A way to keep in touch with the outside world. It has the power to show anyone, no matter where they are."
"So we can use it to find Belle," Sora realized. Adam nodded. He brought the mirror up for all to see.
"Show me Belle," he commanded. The mirror glowed green, illuminating the room with a chromatic color. The light on the face of the mirror subsided, revealing the unconscious form of Belle being carried swiftly through the forest in the arms of a mysterious shadow. The image disappeared and it was normal mirror face again, "She's in the forest! Let's go!" Adam stuffed the mirror in his belt and ran off, not bothering to wait for the others.
Sora frowned. "You guys stay here," he said to Cogsworth, Lumiere, and Mrs. Potts. "We'll bring Belle back!" With that Sora, Kairi, and Mulan ran off, leaving behind the worried servants of the castle.
The Keybladers reached the outside of the gates but the prince was nowhere to be found. Their attention was turned to a shrill neigh coming from the castle grounds. They turned to see the prince riding upon a strong brown horse, leading along another horse behind him. He pulled back his reigns and reared his steed to a stop in front of them. He truly looked impressive with his purple cloak swaying behind him. Powerful. Determined. "Can you ride?", he asked his friends.
Sora and Kairi looked at him awkwardly. Mulan stepped forward. "I can," she said confidently. Adam nodded and handed her the reigns of the other horse. Sora climbed aboard the front of Adam's horse and Kairi did the same with Mulan's. With a mighty shout from the prince, they rode off into the thick dark forest.
The ground shook like thunder as the horses' powerful legs struck the ground in swift strides. They were untiring and fierce, which was good as their riders pushed them to their limits to catch up with the missing beauty. Adam pulled the mirror out of his belt and looked into it again. It showed Belle through the tree branches, still being carried by the stranger. "Hurry!", he shouted to Mulan.
Sora kept his eyes out for Belle as they rode. It was hard to see anything at this pace. But something did catch his eye. In the passing tree tops something was keeping a steady pace with them. It hopped from branch to branch, swiftly overtaking them. The unknown creature then jumped down from the trees, heading straight for Adam and Sora's horse. In quick movement, Sora summoned the Keyblade and struck the figure just before it could strike them. He heard a painful snarl as the figure was knocked back and sent tumbling along the forest floor, left behind as they rode on.
"What was that?", Adam shouted over the thundering of the horses hooves.
"I don't know!", Sora shouted back. He looked back to the tree tops again and saw more of those shadows hopping through the branches. They were surrounded as the figures began to catch up. "Look out!" Sora shouted to Mulan and Kairi, pointing to the skies. Mulan looked to the mysterious creatures and nodded back. A shadow then leapt for her and she swerved her horse to avoid it. It just missed her and crashed into the dirt.
Another creature then jumped for them and they avoided it. Another jumped again. More and more tried to take down the riders and they were hard pressed to avoid them. The creatures all crashed to the floor, missing their targets. In the heavens, lighting flashed across the sky, signaling the coming of a storm.
One of the pursuers jumped ahead of the horses and the beasts reared back in fright. The riders held tight to prevent being thrown off. The ones in the trees then jumped down to the forest floor, surrounding the young heroes. Their red eyes were all that could be made out in the darkness of the night. They gleamed with dangerous intent.
Sora jumped off of his and Adam's horse and brought his Keyblade into his fighting stance. Kairi and Mulan did the same. Adam did not think to bring a weapon, he was too focused on rescuing Belle. A bolt of lightning then split the sky, briefly shining a bright light on their pursuers.
"Heartless!" Sora cried. They were indeed Heartless. Large bulky shadows with razor sharp claws. Their sharply filed teeth gleamed in the full moon. But these Heartless had eyes of red instead of the ususal yellow. At an inhuman speed, the Heartless facing Sora covered the distance between them in a single bound. Sora barely dodged the dark claws that tried to swipe his head other Heartless followed the others example and launched their attack.
Sora slashed in every direction the Heartless came, but they were swift and dodged each strike. Every move they made was lanky and unpredictable, keeping the Keybladers guessing at all their attacks. They fought like unchained beasts, snarling and spitting. Sora took another swing and the Heartless dodged but it recovered and spun to give Sora a slap with the back of its clawsHe fell down to the dirton his back. Before he could get back up, another beastly Heartless jumped on him and pinned him to the ground. Sora beat away the razor claws that would steal his heart. The Heartless' mouth oozed with drool that leaked out like a faucet.
The Heartless then gave off a scream of pain before disappearing into many particles. Kairi stood before Sora holding her floral Keyblade. She offered him a hand up and he gratefully took it.
Mulan fought with a fierceness and power that normally wouldn't be shown in a young woman. The Heartless circled her as a wolf would circle its prey before the kill. She watched them carefully, which was difficult to do in the darkness they blended into so well. The Heartless behind her then pounced. She quickly rounded and the Heartlessburst into flameas she sliced through it. Her Hidden Dragon Keyblade was now engulfed in a splendid orange flame, which was blazing hot to all but her. She stared at her weapon in astonishment, before smiling and turning back to the Heartless.
The battle was long and difficult, these Heartless formidable opponents, lightning flashing through the sky every now and then. When the last Heartless was struck down, the Keybladers were worn out. Sora and Kairi sunk down to their knees, breathing heavily. Mulan managed to stay upright but she too was tired. "I've never faced Heartless like that before," Sora said, standing back up. "They were so strong."
Adam, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines ran up to them. "Come on! We've wasted enough time! Belle is getting farther and farther away as we stand here!", he nearly shouted.
"Hold on, Adam," Mulan said. "We're exhausted. We need to catch our breath,"
"There's no time!" Adam snarled, yes snarled, at her, so she took a step back. "I won't lose Belle again! Never again!"
"But she's already gone."
They all heard the dark voice, but did not know from whence it came. "Look!" Kairi shouted. They all looked up to where she was pointing. Standing on the branch of a tree was the Horned King, smiling wickedly.
"You!" Mulan said angrily.
"Horned King," Sora stated.
The said King chuckled. "A nice field test for my Omega Heartless if I do say so myself. The search and retrieval mission was a good test of brains, but to be able to bring three Keybladers to the brink of defeat, that is impressive. They're perfect."
"Omega Heartless?" Sora whispered. As if the Heartless weren't strong enough.
"Who are you?" Adam shouted. "What have you done with Belle? Where is she?" The Horned King smirked.
"Gone," he answered. "Taken by the shadows. Whisked away by the darkness. She goes to fulfill her destiny." Adam growled, menacingly. He pulled the magic mirror out from his belt.
"Show me Belle!", he commanded. The mirror flickered for a moment then turned blank. The prince balked at this. "Show me Belle!", he commanded again, and again nothing happened. Adam was going into hysterics now. "SHOW ME BELLE!", he screamed, in an almost...beast like manner.
The Horned King stared at the prince, curious to his temper. "You are quite annoying." He raised his withered hand to Adam. Suddenly Adam clutched his chest in pain, falling to his knees.
"Adam!" Sora cried.
The Horned King watched the price struggle and writhe on his knees. "Your heart," he whispered. "It radiates with magic. Powerful magic. Something sleeps within you. It's so...beastly." Adam managed to shoot the horned sorcerer a glare through his pain. "What say we wake it up!" The Horned King's hand then glowed yellow and flaming and the pain in Adam's chest then grew tenfold.
Adam fell on his hands and knees. This pain. He knew this pain. So many years ago he felt this pain. It couldn't be. Unable to take the pain any longer, Adam cried out in anguish.
His body then began to change. The bones in his system began to shift, making sickening cracking noises. His back started to expand, tearing the fabric of his shirt. His hands grew large and rapidly sprouted hair, the nails growing into filed claws. His legs became triple jointed. His face grew as hairy as the rest of body was quickly becoming. A snout grew painfully out of his face and black horns grew from his head.
Sora, Kairi, and Mulan watched this in abject horror, while the Horned King watched with satisfaction. During the transformation Adam let out one more scream, which came out as a painful roar, showing off his fangs.
Then it all stopped. The now large form of Adam lay sprawled on the ground, the mirror still clutched in what was his hand, now his paw. "Adam?", Sora said cautiously. Adam shifted at his name, slowly rising from the ground. They all looked a lot further upwards then they had to before. He turned around to face them and hey all gasped in shock.
Adam had turned back into the Beast
KHKHKHKH
Back at the castle, the worried servants waited patiently for their master and their friends to return. "Oh dear, oh dear, oh deary me!" Cogsworth said pacing the prince's study. "How could this have happened? This can't have happened! I must be dreaming! Yes, that's it, this is all a nightmare induced by too much or too little cough syrup!"
"You are not dreaming my friend, not unless we all are," Lumiere said.
"Don't worry," Mrs. Potts chided. "Sora and the others will bring her back, then everything will go back to normal." Cogsworth sighed.
"I suppose you're right. As normal as they can get around here anyway. Yes! Everything is going to be just fine!" No sooner had he said that, when his nose suddenly turned into the hands on a clock. Everyone stared at him in shock. "What?", he asked. "Do I have spinach in my teeth?"
KHKHKHKH
Adam rubbed his hairy face with his hand, then noticing it was not a hand anymore he took a step back. "No," he whispered, in a deeper and hoarser voice. "No," he brought the magic mirror up to view himself and recoiled as he saw the face of the Beast staring back at him. "NO!" He bellowed, tossing the mirror aside. He felt his head and his face, his hands traveling to the horns now sprouting.
"Well, this was unexpected," the Horned King said smiling. "Your quite the monster aren't you? You might as well forget about your precious Belle. Who could ever love a Beast?" These words sparked unquenchable fury within the prince, hearing those words so many times before. With a mighty roar he charged the tree the Horned King stood in and pounded right through it with his mighty strength. The Horned King jumped off the tree before it collapsed to the forest floor, staying suspended in midair. "I would love to stay and give further torment, but I have a universe to conquer. Farewell Keybladers!" In a flash of dark energies, he was gone.
Adam, now once again the Beast, stood hunched at the foot of the destroyed tree, breathing heavily. Sora approached with caution. "Adam?", he said, laying a hand on his massive shoulder. Adam rounded at the touch and knocked Sora away with his paw. Sora cried out in pain and surprise and landed a few feet away.
"ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR!", Adam cried out. He turned to his friends and locked them with his angry eyes filled with pain. He then turned and bolted into the darkness of the forest, screaming and roaring as he went.
"Adam!" Sora cried as Kairi and Mulan helped him stand up. "We have to go after him! He could hurt someone like this!" His friends agreed and they all ran after the beastly prince.
As soon as they left, a mysterious figure emerged from his hiding spot behind a tree. He looked around to see if the coast was clear and walked toward his prize. The magic mirror lay in the dirt and the stranger picked it up. In the darkness of the night, Gaston smiled cruelly, heading off in the direction of the village.
Adam, the Beast, reached the top of a cliff overlooking the forest. The moon shone in the background while the storm clouds passed through the night sky. He let off a roar of painful anguish as lightning streaked through the black night.
