Chapter 27: Princesses of the Heart

Hey everyone I'm back with another chapter. I know this one is shorter than my Mega Chapters, but don't worry for the big events I'll be doing longer chapters. Also please leave reviews they help motivate me.

Returning to Ever After High had given Roxas and the group some much needed rest. Since Blondie had recorded a lot of what they saw everyone was amazed by the journey to other worlds and the different version of Cinderella and Robin Hood. Ashlynn and Sparrow had gotten lots of attention because of his new skills with a bow and her new Keyblade.

In the Headmaster's Office Roxas and Namine were sitting with the Headmasters and Baba Yaga as they gave their report to Yen Sid.

"Interesting so the Daughter of Cinderella has unlocked the power of the Keyblade while the Daughter of Snow White as learned the ability to use Magic." Yen Sid said intrigued.

"Yes, sir we are all impressed, but what we want to figure out is how it's possible." Baba Yaga said.

"Well it must because they're parents are the parallel versions of the 7 Princesses of the Heart." Yen Sid said.

"Princesses of the Heart?" Milton asks.

"There are 7 maidens with hearts of pure light, devoid of any darkness: Kairi, Princess Jasmine of Agrabah, Alice of Wonderland, Belle, Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty." Yen Sid said.

"That means Alistair and Briar also have the potential to unlock a power." Roxas said.

"And why I was able to unlock my Keyblade." Namine realized.

"Indeed." Yen Sid nods.

"Does this world have anyone who's related to Jasmine or Belle?" Roxas asks.

Giles nods. "Her name is Rosabella Beauty, but I should tell you she is not one for battle she cares for animals and has not desire to harm a living being."

"We're not going to force anyone to battle if they don't want to sir." Namine said.

"Very good, Roxas anything from your more recent world that you'd like to show? In the past when Sora went to a world he was able to unlock a Keyblade." Yen Sid asks.

"Yeah as we were leaving I was able to unlock this one." Roxas holds out his hand and from a flash of light appears revealing a Keyblade that had a long silver blade that had
an Arrow head at the end, Robin Hood's hat as the key chain and the guard had carvings on it to resemble the Sherwood Forest. "I call it Heroic Arrow." Roxas said.

"Very good Roxas I want you to look into what we've discussed." Yen Sid said before disappearing.

"Very interesting the Princesses of the Heart were thought to be a legend and yet six of our students are connected to them." Baba Yaga said.

"It seems the surprises just keep coming." Milton said rubbing his head trying to process it all.

"Don't worry Headmasters Roxas and I will take care of everything." Namine said.

"Please do." Milton said.

Walking out of the room Roxas and Namine head back to class.

"So, should we find this Rosabella and tell her about this?" Roxas asks.

"We should probably first start with the ones that we already know." Namine suggests.

Roxas nods leaving to find everyone.


At the Student Rec room everyone who went with Roxas and Namine were looking at Blondie's videos. Her most recent one of them robbing Prince John and escaping with the people of Nottingham was a big hit.

"Amazing Blondie even when we're running for our lives and have Heartless shooting arrows at us you still have your finger on the record button." Raven said.

"Got to give her credit though she's one heck of a reporter." Holly chuckles.

"Since we started traveling to other worlds my viewers have more than doubled." Blondie smiles.

"Well at least somebody is finding the positives in all this." They look to see Roxas and Namine walking in.

"So, what did Yen Sid say this time?" Lizzie asks as they sat down.

"Well next time he wants it to be a team meeting, so he can hear from all of you." Namine said.

"And we've figured out the reason of Ashlynn's Keyblade and Apple's Magic abilities." Roxas said getting their attention.

"Really? What is it?" Apple asks.

"In all the worlds there are only 7 people with hearts full of light with no darkness in them whatsoever and because of that each one of them has something special, they're
Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Alice, Belle, Cinderella, Princess Jasmine and Kairi. They're called the Princesses of the Heart." Roxas said shocking Alistair, Apple, Briar, and Ashlynn.

"Hearts of pure light…wow." Dexter said impressed.

"Wait a minute Belle? That's Rosabella's mom." Darling said.

"Yes, she has the potential to help us, but it all depends on her." Namine said.

"So, what exactly does it mean for us?" Alistair asks.

"Well it means you have a special power from being able to summon a Keyblade to even being able to use Magic." Namine said.

"Wait a minute I can learn Magic?" Briar said with a smile appearing on her face.

"You think there's a Wonderland Keyblade?" Bunny asks as the kids from Wonderland try to picture it.

"So that's why I was able to summon mine when I faced Lady Tremaine." Ashlynn said looking at hers.

"Hey Briar if we learn Magic together there's no telling what we can do." Apple smiles.

Briar gasps. "Roxas please could you show me some Magic?"

"Well I can see if we have an extra magic staff for you to practice with but warning I'm not like the teachers here so try not to fall asleep like in Rumpelstiltskin's class." Roxas
smirks.

"No promises." Briar giggles.

"Cerise, Poppy, Melody can you two come to the Tempest I need you three for something." Roxas asks.

"Sure, what for?" Melody asks.

"Yen Sid said he sent us something special to the Tempest to help us." Namine said.

"Sure, we'll be there." Poppy said as Cerise and Melody nod.

"Does anyone know where Rosabella is? I feel she should know this." Namine said.

"She's my roommate I can take you too her." Darling said and Namine stands up.

"Lead the way." She said as they walk out the door.


At the Tempest Roxas was going through the weapons room with Poppy, Melody, Cerise and Briar standing nearby.

"You know if I'm being honest here I never thought in a million years Briar Beauty would want to pick up a magic staff and fight." Cerise smirks.

"Well you know I like living everyday to the fullest and what better way than battling monsters to save the world." Briar said.

"Touche." Poppy said when Roxas walks over to them.

"Alright Briar this is for, it's not like Apple's but it will do just fine." Roxas holds up a staff with an orange handle, a purple and bright blue striped pommel, and at the top of the staff is a large blue ring with an orange hexagon in the center.

Briar looks at her new staff with stars in her eyes. "It's perfect."

"It's called the Violetta and if you can learn Magic it's all yours." Roxas said handing it to her.

Briar looks at her new staff and then to Roxas before pulling him into a big hug. Cerise, Poppy, and Melody look at this and silently growl.

"Alright girls time for what I promised you three." Roxas snaps his fingers and appearing in the ship was a Moogle.

"Hi there." It said surprising the girls

"What is that thing?!" Briar asks as they all jumped back

"It's called a Moogle I used one while I was in the Organization. These things are masters at synthesizing materials, items, and weapons. If you girls are willing to try it out, we might be able to face tougher opponents." Roxas said and Poppy takes out her Frying Pan, Cerise her best running shoes, and Melody her Battle Mix station.

"Alright this should work, but you should stand back." Roxas said and the girls step back in fear.

The Moogle looks at Cerise's shoes before. "Ok some Iron, a Power Tech, and maybe a few Gust Shards."

A bright light engulfs the room and when it dies down everyone looks at Cerise's running shoes. They were black with red high lights, the bottom of the shoe had turned to solid metal, and the tip was plated steel and had sharp spikes coming out the front.

"Sweet Fairy song." Cerise said in awe as she walks over to them.

"What do you say we try them out?" Roxas asks and a big grin appears on her face.

Outside on the field Cerise puts on her new shoes and looks at the dummies in front of her.

Thanks to the Wind Shard her speed increased, when she reached the dummy she knocks it back with ease. The next dummy had a suit of armor on, but when Cerise kicks it
the spikes make a giant dent and hole right through the chest plate.

"Oh yeah Cerise!" Melody cheers.

"That was so hexciting!" Poppy said as she ran back.

"Roxas thank you…this this is amazing." Cerise smiles as they high five.

"So, you two ready?" He asks and they nod.

The Moogle gave Poppy's Frying Pan a coat of Mithril which made it light as a feather but stronger than steel and Melody's Battle Mix was upgraded with a Blaze, Frost, and Lightning Shards allowing her to put Magical attacks into her music notes.

"Oh yeah I can rock this." Melody grins.

"I am so ready for our next mission." Poppy said with enthusiasm.


In the hallways of Ever After High Darling led Namine to Rosabella's locker.

"Hey Darling can I ask you something?" Namine asks.

"Sure." Darling said.

"You act like a Damsel, but I've seen you fight you're actually better than your brother. Why is that?" Namine asks surprising her.

"When did you discover this?" Darling asks.

"During the Archery Contest back in Sherwood, Daring told you to run for cover, but I saw you draw your sword and slay 4 Heartless with ease." Namine said.

"Well the truth because I'm a girl my father put me in Damsel class hoping I would become a lady, but I love action and adventure, that's why I joined you guys." Darling
said.

"Do your brothers know about this?" Namine asks.

"Doubtful at least for Daring." Darling said.

"You shouldn't hide it you have lots of potential and we need that." Namine said.

"When the time comes I will." Darling said when they walk up to a girl with long brown hair, glasses and a crown of golden flowers on her head. "Rosabella!" Darling calls out
getting her attention.

"Hello Darling." She smiles.

"This is Namine I don't think you two have met." Darling said.

"No, but I've seen what you and all your friends have done from Blondie's videos. Is there anything I can help you with?" She asks.

"Well Rosabella there's something we need to discuss with you, can we find a place to sit down?" Namine asks.

In an empty study room Namine and Darling tell Rosabella about the Princesses of the Heart, the Heartless and how she's involved and of course the news came at a
complete shock to her.

"I'm sorry, but this is a lot to process." Rosabella said holding her head.

"We won't force you to do anything you don't want to do, but we felt it was only right that you know the truth." Namine said.

"Well I thank you for being honest with me, but something like this is not an easy choice. I'd like some time to think it over." Rosabella said.

Namine nods. "Of course."

Rosabella stands up. "Thank you Namine and you as well Darling." She said walking out the door.

"Well Namine we've talked to her, now what?" Darling asks.

"We just have to wait for her answer and until then let's take a break and enjoy our time here before the next mission." Namine suggests.

"Sounds good to me." Darling said as they walked away.
