Chapter 40: Corona
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. Now for those who have seen the latest Kingdom Hearts trailer you know that Sora was originally going here, but this world was too perfect for me to leave to the game, plus I made a few twists to make this story my own. And I think you'll like the surprises I have in store. I'd also like to thank all my followers I now have 50 favorites and over 20,000 views thank you all so much for your support. Please review and enjoy.
At the Mansion in Twilight Town everyone was sitting in the main room with multiple boxes of pizza and drinks as all of them were their own Pizza Night. They also invited Hayner, Pence and Olette.
Everyone was laughing at the good time they were having as they told crazy stories.
"And then Prof. Rumpelstiltskin has to reinstall the entire school's wifi all by himself as punishment." Raven said as they all burst into laughter.
"Oh man, this school you go to sounds so much better than ours." Hayner laughs.
"I'd love to see it sometime." Olette said.
"We'd love to take you guys, but Headmaster Grimm isn't big on our adventures in the first place." Briar said.
"So, we're not sure how he would react to visitors." Ashlynn said.
"Fair enough." Pence said eating a slice of pizza.
"Hey, any Meat Lovers left?" Hayner asks reaching for the box only to see it was empty.
"Sorry Hayner you got to be fast when it comes to meat or Cerise and Ramona will take it all." Hunter said pointing the to the two of them who were eating the last slices.
"Better luck next time Hayner." Cerise smirks eating her slice.
"Hey, speaking of next time summer vacation is coming up in a few what do you say we all go to the beach?" Pence suggests.
"I like the sound of that." Briar said.
"Sounds like a hex-cellent idea." Apple smiles.
"It's really fun hanging out with you guys." Olette said.
"It's nice to have friends over." Rosabella said.
"We enjoy having you guys." Cupid said.
"You guys are fun." Maddie smiles.
"Man, we made the right call coming back here for a while." Sparrow said laying back.
"I do enjoy this place and thanks for making the adjustments to the kitchen." Ginger said sitting down.
"We're happy to do that Ginger." Lizzie said.
"Especially when you use it to make your delicious treats." Melody smiles holding up a cupcake.
"I actually got the inspirations for those from the worlds we went to that one you have is based off Agrabah." Ginger points to one with frosting to resemble the desert.
"Wow Ginger at this rate you'll have a whole new line of goodies." Raven said.
"Yeah Ginger's Other Worldly treats." Apple said.
"I like the sound of that." Ginger smiles.
Looking over Holly, Blondie, Cedar and Poppy saw Namine was sketching a drawing of all of them together.
"Wow Namine, that's pretty good." Holly said.
"I just wanted to capture this moment, everyone seems so happy." Namine smiles.
"That's neat you have a talent for this." Poppy said as Namine turned a page to show Roxas in his Organization coat alongside Sora.
"Wow, I had forgotten Roxas used to wear that coat." Cedar said.
"What happened to it? When Roxas showed it to me it had a giant cut in the middle of it." Namine asks.
"Oh, right you weren't here when it happened." Holly said as Namine shakes her head.
"It was when Roxas first met Vanitas he had Roxas on the ropes and his coat got destroyed in the battle." Cedar said.
"After that moment we all started to become aware of what might be going on outside of Ever After." Blondie said.
"Man, lot has happened since then." Poppy said looking over to see Roxas, Cerise, Dexter and Pence cheering as Hayner, Hunter, Ramona and Sparrow were having a chugging contest with cans of soda.
"Go, go, go, go, go." They chanted when Ramona downs her soda first letting out a burp of victory.
"Better luck next time boys." Ramona smirks.
"Alright that was impressive." Hayner said.
"Rematch?" Sparrow asks.
"You're on." Hayner grins.
"Sorry boys but we've got to get back." Olette said as she and Pence get up.
"Aw man were having lots of fun." Roxas said.
"Sorry guys, but we have to go. We have to make sure we actually have a Summer Vacation. You know homework." Hayner said.
"Hey Lizzie, maybe next time you can tell me more about Wonderland." Pence asks interested.
"Absolutely." Lizzie said waving goodbye as they walk out.
"I like Pence he really is interested in learning about Wonderland." Bunny said.
"Yeah he told me that this town he's been investigating 7 Wonders of this place." Lizzie said.
"Really what kind of wonders?" Kitty asks.
"Just small ones around town, but I think it could be fun." Lizzie said.
"I'm in." Maddie said excited when the heard a beeping coming from Roxas' Map.
"Looks like we got another world in trouble." Cerise said as Roxas walks over and opens the map.
Browsing through worlds Roxas stops at a world with a beautiful castle on one side that had an emblem of the sun on it while on the other side was a single tower. "Says here the place is called Corona. No other information, guess it's new." Roxas said.
"Sweet I wonder who we'll meet there." Hunter said.
"Either way I'm excited." Briar said as they all stand up and stretch.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Darling asks.
"Yeah this world isn't going to save itself." Melody said as they leave the mansion and board the Tempest.
Flying through space everyone was eager to save the day again. While some had other things on their mind. Sitting at the controls Dexter was typing away when Roxas walks over.
"What are doing Dexter?" Roxas asks.
"Oh, just learning a bit more about the ship, hopefully I'll be able to fly this thing myself if I get the chance uh I mean if you'll let me try." Dexter said nervously.
"Definitely I'd be awesome to have another pilot aboard." Roxas nods making a big smile appear on Dexter's face.
"So, Raven I've been looking over what we have for the yearbook and I think we should try to make a few more pictures showing how perfect our school is." Apple said walking over.
"Apple look at our situation right now, this is far from perfect. Besides perfect is boring." Raven said.
"I see." Apple narrows her eyes not agreeing with her.
"Get ready folks Corona is dead ahead." Sparrow said as they gazed at it.
"You know Poppy something about this world seems familiar." Holly said.
"Really how?" Poppy asks.
"I don't know it's just a feeling." Holly said.
Landing in a thick forest they all leave to explore the new world. After walking for what felt like hours they all stopped to rest their feet.
"Geez this place is thicker than Sherwood forest." Daring said sitting down on a rock.
"I kinda like this place." Cerise said looking around.
"Any idea on how to get out of this place?" Kitty asks.
"There must be something we're missing." Hunter leans against some leaves and ends up falling through it. "Whoa!" He said getting their attention.
Walking over Namine pulls the leaves back to show that Hunter had found a hidden passage. "Secret passages? Nice find Hunter." Namine said.
"Nothing gets past you." Ashlynn smiles helping him up.
"Uh yeah I meant to do that." Hunter said rubbing the back of his head.
Walking through the tunnel they see a tall tower at the end of it that seemed impossible to climb.
"Whoa look at the size of that tower." Raven said.
"Who would live in a place like that?" Roxas asks
Squinting her eyes Cupid looks at the tower. "Hey someone's climbing down."
They all looked to see a man with brown hair, white pants and a blue vest waiting at the bottom.
"Maybe he can give us directions." Alistair said when from the cliffs above multiple Deserter, Air Battlers, Poison Plants, and Cannon Gun Heartless jumped down towards the tower.
"What the what?!" The man said looking in shock.
"Look out!" Bunny yells as they ran to him as fast as they could.
"Yeah gladly!" The man said running out of the way as a Deserter jumps at him.
Lizzie draws the cards that Merlin gave her putting one cards grows to the size of Lizzie's arms while the cards in her other hand she throws injuring the Cannon Guns as she jumps in swinging the big card like a blade. (This was inspired by Luxord)
"Wow, these are much better than a croquet set." Lizzie said impressed.
As they turn to retaliate Maddie jumps down and shoves giant corks in their cannon holes so when they tried to fire they exploded.
The Air Battlers swooped in from above and dived towards them.
"Oh no you don't!" Hunter, Sparrow and Cupid draw their bows and fire arrows at them knocking them off their balance.
Swinging A Stroke of Midnight Ashlynn smashes it into one and broken glass shatters the Air Battler to pieces.
As the Deserters charged Cerise, Ramona and Bunny used Flowmotion to bounce off the cliffs before jumping into the air and smashing into them with Shock Dive destroying them.
Summoning Monster and Proud Roxas slashes one Poison Plant to pieces. As he turns around one Poison Plant was about to fire a poisonous seed bomb at him.
"Firaga!" Briar blasts a giant ball of flames destroying the seed. Looking over to her Roxas smiles signaling thanks.
As two Cannon Guns fire blast after blast Rosabella and Darling hold up their shields blocking them. Jumping out of the way Rosabella throws her shield and it smashes into one destroying it.
"Impressive." Namine said tossing her back her shield.
"Thank you." Rosabella said as Darling charges and slashes the other Cannon Gun in half.
As a Deserter sprints towards the man he panics when out of nowhere Holly and Poppy whack it in the face destroying it.
"You ok?" Poppy asks.
"Huh? Oh yeah totally." He looks closely at them. "Geez between you two and Blondie up there my day just keeps getting weird."
"Blondie?" They ask almost thinking he meant their friend Blondie.
"Long story. Look out!" He pulls the girls out of the way just as an Air Battler swooped in.
"Let's talk after we stop them." Poppy said and the man nods in agreement.
As the last two Air battlers flew into the air and circled the group Roxas and Namine nod at each other. Running up the cliff Roxas grabs Namine's hand and throws her up into the air where she slams Chain of Memories down on one destroying it and before the other one could act Roxas throws Monster and Proud destroying it.
"Alright that's all of them." Dexter said as they all walked back to the tower.
"Hey, look I owe you kids big time for helping with those things. The name's Flynn Rider." The man said introducing himself.
"So, Flynn what exactly are you doing out here?" Cerise asks.
"Uh well I kinda made a deal with Blondie up there I take her to Corona for her birthday tomorrow and she returns something of mine." Flynn said rubbing the back of his neck. "Oh, that reminds me. Blondie! You ready or what?!" Flynn calls out to the top.
"I'll be right down." They look up to see a woman with blonde hair, a purple dress, and a frying pan in her hand.
"Wait a minute how is she going to get down?" Daring asks.
Suddenly the woman throws down her hair to reveal it went all the way down from the top of the tower from the ground.
"Poppy are you seeing this?" Holly said in shock.
"I'm seeing it, but I don't believe it." Poppy said as the woman slide down her hair and landed right in front of them.
"Uh hi there. Wow lots of people here. Um Flynn who are these people?" The woman asks nervously.
"Oh uh right. These are uh my friends and they're here to help me escort you to the Lanterns. Right guys?" Flynn looks to them asking them to play along.
"Uh yeah that's us." Roxas said.
"Oh, well then it's a pleasure to meet I'm Rapunzel." She said when a green Chameleon crawls out of her hair and looks at him. "And this is Pascal." She giggles.
Everyone from Ever After High looked in shock as they were meeting another famous character from Fairy Tale history and Holly and Poppy were seeing a different part of their mother.
"Sorry I was acting nervous this is actually my first time leaving that tower ever." Rapunzel said stroking her hair.
"Just like in her story." Apple whispers.
"But why did this version want to leave?" Kitty whispers.
As Rapunzel took her first steps away from the tower Flynn and the others followed her before she ran out of the hidden cave and out into the forest.
"I can't believe I did this! I can't believe I did this. I can't believe I did this. Mother would be so furious."
Sitting by a river Rapunzel was holding a flower. "But that's okay whatever she doesn't know won't kill her."
She then was in a cave holding her legs. "Oh my gosh this would totally kill her."
Recovering from that she was soon running past them all kicking a pile of leaves. "THIS IS SO FUN!"
The she had her head against a tree sulking. "I am a horrible daughter. I'm going."
"I am never going back!" Rapunzel cheers cartwheeling down a hill and getting rolled up in her own hair.
"I am a despicable human being." She groans face in the ground.
Best day ever!" Rapunzel said using her hair like a swing as she swung around a tree. But soon she went right back to crying.
"What is going on? She's happy then sad then she acts that way all over again?" Roxas said looking at her.
"Mom never mentioned she had mood swings after she left the tower." Holly said.
"Then again I wonder what kind of person her mother is." Ashlynn said as Flynn walked over to Rapunzel.
"Look I'm only getting a few hints, but you seem at war with yourself." Flynn said getting her attention.
"What?" Rapunzel asks not sure what he means.
"I mean you're conflicted of course over protective mother, forbidden road trip this is some serious stuff, but let me tell you something it's all a part of growing up a little adventure some rebellion that's good healthy even." Flynn said as Pascal crawls onto his shoulder and glares at him before Flynn brushes him off.
"Well at least this guy seems to be of some help." Cerise said.
"You think?" Rapunzel asks.
"I know, you're way over thinking this trust me. Does your mother know? Will this break her heart and crush her soul? Of course. But you just got to do it." Flynn said horrifying Rapunzel and shocking everyone else.
"Whoa back up. Where's the help?" Cedar asks.
"Break her heart? Crush her soul?" Rapunzel asks scared.
"Like a grape." Flynn said.
"She would be devastated." Rapunzel said.
"You know what I'm letting you out of the deal I'm taking you back to the tower." Flynn said.
"Hold on!" Namine said as she, Ramona, Holly and Lizzie grabbed him.
"Alright what the fairy tale is going on? You said you were taking her to the city?" Raven asks.
"Oh, come on, like you kids never tried getting out of a deal." Flynn said.
"Seriously? We thought you were helping her?" Apple said.
"Look I just want my satchel back and she won't give it." Flynn complains.
"Flynn I am seeing those lanterns no matter what." Rapunzel said hearing them.
"Oh, come on what do I have to do to get my satchel back?!" Flynn asks when Rapunzel holds her frying pan up to his face.
"I will use this." She glares when they heard rustling in the bushes causing Rapunzel to jump behind Flynn. "Is it ruffians? Thugs? Have they come for me?" Rapunzel panics.
Everyone readies themselves for anything when out of the bush a little bunny pops out.
"Wow watch out everyone I think it smells fear." Flynn said sarcastically.
"Sorry I startled you all guess I'm a little jumpy." Rapunzel said.
"Well don't worry we'll actually keep you safe." Ramona said shooting a glare at Flynn.
"It might be best though if we all avoid ruffians and thugs though." Flynn said.
"Probably for the best." Rapunzel said.
"Might be the first thing we actually agree on." Darling said.
"Are you all hungry? I know a great place." Flynn said grabbing Rapunzel's hand.
"What is it?" She asks.
"I have some standards when it comes to eating out." Blondie said.
"Trust me you'll know it when you smell it." Flynn said.
"Okay it's clear we have to keep an eye on this guy right." Melody said as they all nod in agreement.
"Just be ready for anything he might pull." Roxas said as they followed them walking along the path he walks next to Poppy. "Not gonna lie seeing Rapunzel with that frying pan reminds me when you first picked it up.
Poppy giggles. "Well these things do make pretty hand weapons."
After walking through the woods, they find themselves at the path.
"Now I know it's around here somewhere. There it is." Flynn points to a nearby building.
"The Snuggly Duckling?" Maddie said reading the sign.
"Well with a name like that how bad can it be?" Cupid asks.
"Everything you need for some like you we don't want you giving up on this whole endeavor now do we?" Flynn asks.
"Well, I do like ducklings." Rapunzel smiles.
"Yaay." Flynn said leading them to the door. "Garson! Your finest table please." He said.
But when they all look inside to see the place filled with ruffians and thugs everywhere.
"That is so not just right." Blondie said.
"Seriously?" Daring said as everyone from Ever After shot Flynn a glare.
Rapunzel had a horrified look on her face as they made their way in.
"What's wrong Blondie? You know if you can't handle a 5-Star place like this maybe I should just take you back to your tower." Flynn said.
"Oh, that is low." Cerise growled.
"If we actually figured out our way around this place we'd take her ourselves." Darling said.
However, as Flynn led her back to the door a large ruffian with horns on his helmet slams the door shut.
"Is this you?" He asks holding a wanted poster.
Looking at it Flynn moves the big guy's fingers to show it look exactly like him except for an incredibly large nose. Everyone from Ever After bursts into laughter. "Okay you kids are just being mean." Flynn said as some of them took pictures with their phones.
"Oh, it's him alright. Someone go get some guards. You're gonna buy me a new hook." A man with a hook for a left hand said grabbing Flynn with his other hand.
"No way I could use the money!" One with helmet said grabbing Flynn.
"No, me! I'm broke!" The big guy from before said as the three of them grabbed Flynn and tried to take him.
Rapunzel looks around and notices a branch right above Hook Hand looping her hair around the branch she pulls it back as far as she could and lets go allowing the branch to hit him in the head startling everyone.
"Whoa you should try using your hair like that." Maddie said whispering to Holly who nods in agreement.
"Enough! Listen I have no idea where I am and me and my friends need him to take me to the lanterns because I have been dreaming about seeing them my whole life! Find your humanity! Haven't any of you had a dream?" Rapunzel asks.
Putting Flynn down Hook Hand walks over to Rapunzel. "I had a dream once." Leading Rapunzel over to a piano. "Believe it or not I once wanted to be concert pianist."
"Wow that sounds amazing." Rapunzel said.
Everyone from Ever After looks to Rapunzel who gestures for them to follow her lead.
"Uh you know we're musicians ourselves and the hook doesn't mean you can't play the piano. Come on show us what you got." Melody said.
"Oh, I don't know it's been so long." Hook Hand said before going right to playing a tune.
"What's your dream?" Raven asks the guy with the helmet over his face.
"My name's Attila and I make cupcakes." He said holding up a tray.
Picking some up Raven, Dexter and Namine taste them.
"These are beyond hex-tacular." Raven smiles.
"Delicious." Dexter smiles.
"You've got talent." Namine said.
In another part of the pub Apple, Briar, Rosabella and Ashlynn were talking to Big Nose.
"You see despite my appearance I really want to make a love connection." He admits.
"Aw that's so sweet." Apple said.
"Listen there's somebody out there for everybody, someday you'll find a special lady who likes you." Ashlynn said.
"Really?" Big Nose smiles.
"True beauty comes from inside you'll find someone I know you will." Rosabella smiles.
In another part Maddie, Bunny and Blondie were laughing at one named Ulf who wanted to be a mime. Ulf was showing them some of his miming tricks causing them to laugh.
"This guy is hilarious." Maddie laughs as she applauds him.
"I think he a future in this." Bunny said.
Ulf mimes shedding a tear before bowing in thanks.
Walking over to the big guy Roxas, Cerise, Holly and Poppy sit next to him.
"So Big Guy tell us about yourself." Cerise said.
"Vladimir and well." He said not sure if he should.
"We promise not laugh we swear." Roxas said.
"I collect ceramic Unicorns." He said holding up little white unicorns.
"Aw those are so adorable." Poppy said causing him to smile.
"What about you?" Hook Hand asks as they all look to Flynn who was hanging from a hook.
"Huh?" Flynn asks.
"What's your dream?" Big Nose asks taking him off the hook.
"Nu uh sorry boys not talking." Flynn said and they all point swords at him. "Alright fine. My dream is go to an exclusive island that I own surrounded by giant piles of money."
All of them look at him and raise their eyebrows saying "Really?"
"Can we put him back on the hook?" Kitty asks.
"No Kitty." Rapunzel smiles.
Little did they know a woman with long black hair was looking in through the pub window. This was Mother Gothel Rapunzel's mother and she was not happy to see her daughter had left the tower.
Suddenly the door opens to reveal the thug Hook Hand sent to get the guards. "I found the guards!"
Immediately Flynn grabs Rapunzel as they all hid under the bar.
"Where's Rider?!" The captain asks storming in. "Don't hide him from me! I'll turn the whole bar upside down until I find him!"
Looking up from his hiding spot Flynn looks to see two men with orange hair walking in the only difference was that one had an eye patch and the other had long sideburns. These were the Stabbington Brothers former partners of Flynn before he ditched them.
Roxas looked around trying to find a way out when Hook Hand pulls a lever and a secret passage opens right in front of them.
"Go live your dream." Hook Hand said.
"I will." Flynn smiles.
"Your dream stinks. I was talking to her." He said pointing to Rapunzel causing everyone to chuckle quietly as Flynn climbs down the passage.
"Thank you for everything." Rapunzel said giving Hook Hand a peck on the cheek before following Eugene.
As Roxas and the others were about to follow them Hook Hand leans over to whisper. "Watch over Rapunzel if anything bad happens don't hesitate to come back."
"You got it." Roxas smiles as they climb down into the tunnel.
Outside Mother Gothel saw all of it. "Where the path let's out that's where I'll make my move." She said leaving the pub.
"You know that was pretty neat what your mom did back there." Ramona said.
"Not many people can look at people like them and see what she saw." Briar said.
"Yeah this version of mom is pretty neat." Holly smiles.
"Definitely she's tough, kind, and adventurous." Poppy said.
"Just like you." Roxas said causing Poppy to blush slightly.
"I got to say I didn't know you had it in you that was pretty impressive." Flynn admits.
"I know! I mean I know." Rapunzel said acting casual. "So want to tell me about yourselves?" Rapunzel asks all of them.
"We're just people who really want to help those in need." Holly said.
"Well thank you." Rapunzel turns to look at Holly and Poppy. "You know you two take really good care of your hair maybe you can show me how you do it."
"Really? Cause that be so hex-citing." Holly smiles along with her sister.
"So, Flynn what about you?" Daring asks.
"Sorry pal, but I don't do back stories. However, I am very interested in Rapunzel's now I know I can't mention the hair." Flynn said.
"Nope." Rapunzel said.
"Or the mother." Flynn adds.
"Not a chance." Rapunzel smirks.
"Frankly I'm too scared to ask about the frog." Flynn said.
"Chameleon." Rapunzel corrects as Pascal glares at him.
"Whatever. My question if you wanted to see the Lanterns so badly why didn't you?" Flynn asks.
"Uh well." Rapunzel felt nervous answering that when suddenly the ground began to shake.
"Uh we got company." Melody points behind them to see the guards racing through the tunnels.
"Run. Run!" Flynn yells as Rapunzel grabs a handful of her hair and they all ran out as fast as they could.
Running out of the tunnel they saw they had come out on the other side of a water dam and the only way out was another cave on the other side of the dam and down a ladder.
At a nearby cave the Stabbington brothers jump out. "Who are they?" Rapunzel asks.
"They don't like me." Flynn said as the guards came out behind them.
"And them?" Apple asks.
"They don't like me either." Flynn panics when a white Stallion comes out behind the guards. This was Maximus, a palace horse who really had a hatred towards Flynn.
"And the Horse?" Namine asks.
"Let's just assume everyone here doesn't like me." Flynn panics.
"What were you doing before we met you?" Cupid asks.
"Here." Rapunzel hands Flynn her frying pan and grabs her hair tossing at a beam before using it to swing across.
"I've been waiting a long time for this Rider." The Captain said drawing his sword. "And you all are under arrest for aiding him."
Kitty disappears to the bottom of the ladder. "Everyone hurry!" Kitty yells.
As the Captain charges Flynn whacks him in the face with the frying pan knocking him out instantly along with two more guards.
"Oh mama I have got to get me one of these." Flynn smiles preparing for his next opponent he turns to see Maximus with a sword in his mouth.
"Uh you see this, too right?" Roxas asks as the others were climbing down the ladder to escape.
At the bottom the Stabbington brothers were ready for them. "Ah a little warm up before we take down Rider perfect." Patchy said drawing their swords.
"Balloon!" Briar yells as multiple Balloons surround the Stabbington brothers.
"You really think this will work?" They ran towards the Balloons, but instead the Balloons exploded stunning them.
Alistair swings Lady Luck and when he does multiple hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades fly out sending the two brothers falling backwards.
Back up above Flynn, Poppy and Roxas were facing off against Maximus who was actually wielding the sword in his mouth with great precision.
"You should know this is the weirdest fight I've ever been in." Flynn said deflecting the sword with his frying pan until Maximus knocks it out of his hand to the bottom of the cliff. "How about 2 out of three?" Flynn asks.
Poppy looked at the man next to her and saw herself when she fought for the first time. She even said those exact words.
Before Max could strike Roxas jumps up from behind Maximus with Hand of Fate, but Max swings his body around and blocks the Keyblade.
As the two of them are in a lock Poppy charges forward and knocks Maximus back with her frying pan.
"Did you ever think we'd end up fighting this kind of enemy?" Poppy asks.
"No, not at all." Roxas said.
Maximus recovers from the attack and prepares to charge with the look of rage in his eyes.
"Uh nice horsey." Roxas said as Maximus charges at full speed. "Zero Gravira!" Roxas said creating a field that lifts the horse into the air stopping him in his tracks.
"Ha! You should see the look on your face." Flynn laughs when Rapunzel throws him her hair.
"Flynn!" She yells pulling him away to safety.
"Guess that's our cue." Poppy said.
"Yeah that spell is only temporary." Roxas said as ran down as fast as they could and met up with the others who were keeping the Stabbington brothers at bay.
As the spell wears off Maximus is furious that they got away. Seeing Rapunzel on the ledge across from them he kicks one of the support beams to the dam down to come across little did he know that move caused a jet of water to come out.
"Rapunzel jump!" Flynn said holding the other end of her hair. Running to the edge Rapunzel swings down past Flynn.
"Everyone hurry!" Rapunzel yells as everyone from Ever After chased after them.
As they made their escape the hole Maximus made caused the dam to burst and water came in flooding everywhere.
Turning around Namine looks in horror as the flood caused a giant rock to fall towards them. Just as the rock was about to squish them they jump into the cave entrance dodging it, but at the last second Flynn grabs Rapunzel's frying pan before it closes the cave shut.
"Raven!" Namine yells.
"STOP!" Raven blasts magic around them stopping the flooding and time around them all.
Breathing heavily, they looked to see water was already up to their waists.
"It's a good thing you've been doing that spell for a while." Dexter sighs in relief.
"Don't be happy yet we still have to find a way out of here." Raven said.
"It's not like we're Kitty who can disappear at will." Bunny said.
"I can't see a thing it's pitch black down there." Daring said looking in the water. "I can't even see my reflection."
"We have bigger things to worry about Daring." Hunter said.
"At this rate we're all going to drown." Cerise.
"How much longer can you hold this for?" Apple asks.
"A few minutes at most." Raven grunts.
Looking around frantically Roxas was trying to do anything he dived down to the rocks, but he couldn't see anything. 'It can't end like this. I need to save Terra and Xion, I need to find my heart.' He thought before coming up for air.
Popping his head up he looks to see fear and sadness on everyone's face and he couldn't do anything about it when Rapunzel starts to cry.
"Mother was right I wasn't ready. I'm sorry Flynn, I'm sorry all of you." Rapunzel sobs thinking she doomed them all.
"Eugene." Flynn sighs getting their attention. "My real name is Eugene Fitzherbert I figured someone should know the truth." He admits.
"I have magic hair that glows when I sing." Rapunzel said.
"Wait what?" Briar asks.
Rapunzel gasps. "That's it! Flower gleam and glow let your power shine." Rapunzel said as all her hair glowed golden shocking everyone.
"Everyone quick look for a way out!" Cerise said as Raven undoes her spell letting the water come back in.
Diving underwater they saw a small gap of air between rocks. Roxas looks to Namine, Ashlynn, and Alistair. Summoning his Keylade they all follow suit. Four beams of light shoot out destroying the rocks that created as stream of water that send them flying out into a river.
Grunting as they all climb out of it everyone was soaking wet.
"We're alive." Rapunzel smiles.
"Her hair glows." Eugene said in shock.
"We made it out." Roxas said climbing out of the river happy.
"Why does her hair glow?" Eugene asks Pascal.
"I didn't know we could do that." Holly said coughing up water as they all climbed out of the river.
"Eugene! It doesn't just glow." Rapunzel said as Pascal looks at all of them with a big smile.
"Why is he smiling at us?" Melody asks.
At the exit to Snuggly Duckling Passage Mother Gothel had a dagger in her hand. Suddenly she heard movement. Turning towards it she expected Rider and her daughter, but instead the Stabbington brothers come out.
"I'll kill that Rider. We'll have to cut him off at the Kingdom get the crown there." Sideburns said.
Hearing what they said Mother Gothel grins. When she found out Rapunzel had left her tower she noticed she left something behind…Flynn's satchel that he wanted so badly.
"Or perhaps you want to stop acting like wild dogs and think for a moment." Mother Gothel said holding up the satchel. Looking at her in shock they draw their swords. "Oh, please there's no need for that." Mother Gothel tosses it to them and inside was a beautiful tiara. "Well if that's all you want be on your way. I was going to offer you something that was worth 1000 crowns, but that's not even the best part."
"What's the best part?" They ask.
"It comes with revenge on Flynn Rider." She said holding up a wanted poster of him causing both brothers to grin evilly.
That night as everyone was drying off by the fire Rapunzel was wrapping her hair around Eugene's hand. Needless to say everyone was interested in what she was going especially Holly and Poppy.
"Alright now please none of you freak out." Rapunzel said taking a deep breath and started to sing as she did her hair started to glow again.
Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Change the Fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine
When the song ended her hair returns to normal, but what really shocked them was that Eugene's injury was completely healed.
Blondie just looked at her MirrorPad. "That's right folks that just happened." She said in shock.
"Can we do that?" Poppy asks Holly in shock who was speechless.
"Eugene looks at his hand was about to let out scream when Rapunzel interrupts. "Don't freak out."
"Ah ah I'm not freaking out I'm just very interested in my hand and your hair. How long has it done that?" Eugene asks.
"I think we'd all like to know that answer." Apple said.
"Uh forever. Mother said when I was a baby bad people tried to take it and use for themselves, but when it's cut it turns brown." Rapunzel said showing one lock of brown hair. "A gift like this has to be protected, that's why mother never let…that's why I…"
"You never left your tower." Namine said.
"And you still want to go back there?" Sparrow asks.
"No, I mean yes, I mean I don't know." Rapunzel said.
Looking at the ground Holly saw Pascal at her feet. Picking him up Holly pets his forehead calming him down.
"So, Eugene Fitzherbert?" Rapunzel said changing the subject.
"Well I'll spare you all the story of poor orphan Eugene Fitzherbert it's a bit of a sob story." Eugene said.
"Oh no you are telling us everything pal." Hunter said as they all looked over at him.
"Alright alright. There was this book, that I would read to the younger orphans every night "The Tales of Flynnigan Rider" swashbuckling hero, richest man alive, not to bad with the ladies." Eugene said causing everyone to laugh.
"Was he a thief like you?" Alistair smirks.
"Well, no in fact he had enough money to do anything, go anywhere he wanted to go, and for a kid with no future it just seemed like the better option. None of you can tell anyone about this alright it could ruin my whole reputation." Eugene said.
"Well we wouldn't want that to happen." Rapunzel giggles.
"A fake reputation is all a man has." Eugene smiles as everyone laughs and for a second, he and Rapunzel lock eyes.
"Well uh I'm going to get some more firewood." Eugene said getting up.
"Hey, for the record I like Eugene Fitzherbert much better than Flynn Rider." Rapunzel said.
"Us too." Roxas smiles.
"Well then you'd all be the first but thank you." Eugene said walking away.
"Well I thought he'd never leave." They turn to see Mother Gothel standing nearby.
"Mother how did you find me?" Rapunzel asks.
"Well I simply followed the path of betrayal." She said walking over. "Rapunzel let's go back."
"No mother, I like it here I've learned so much and I've met so many nice people." Rapunzel said gesturing to everyone from Ever After High. "And I think I met someone."
"Yes, the wanted thief and his band of sidekicks I'm so proud." She said sarcastically grabbing Rapunzel's hand. "Come on Rapunzel."
"Mother wait. I-I think he likes me." Rapunzel said.
"Likes you? Rapunzel that's demented." Mother Gothel said.
"Why are you so enthusiastic about locking up your own daughter?" Raven asks.
"She's not a caged animal she's a person." Rosabella said.
"Oh Rapunzel, this fantasy of yours is just another reason you need to come back home. With mommy remember mother knows—"
"No!" Rapunzel said refusing to go back.
"Oh, I see you think you know best well let me tell you something that man will break your heart and you children will devour it. If you trust him so much give him this!" Mother Gothel pulls out Eugene's satchel.
"How did you find that? I hid it." Rapunzel said as Gothel pulls out the tiara.
"This is what he wants, give to him and you shall see." Gothel said giving it to Rapunzel.
"I will." She nods.
"Once you give it to him snap, he'll leave like that. And when you come crying I'll say I told you so, just remember Rapunzel. Mother knows best." Mother Gothel said before disappearing into the night.
Looking at the tiara Rapunzel puts it in the satchel just as Eugene comes back with the firewood. Behind the trees nearby everyone from Ever After was talking.
"Ok it's pretty clear mother is hiding something." Raven whispers.
"The way she acted and talked to her own daughter like that." Melody said.
"Holly, Poppy this place is based off your story any ideas?" Darling asks.
"Not really in fact this whole thing has us both puzzled." Holly said.
"I mean in our story our mom was a princess." Poppy said.
"Princess?" Roxas said to himself.
"We better watch out for her when we get to the kingdom." Apple said.
They all nod in agreement and go back to camp little did they know Mother Gothel and the Sabbington brothers were in the bushes nearby.
"What do we do about those kids?" One of the brothers asks.
"They're children please, sooner or later they'll get distracted and you boys will get what's yours. After all good things come to those who wait." Mother Gothel grins.
The next morning Eugene was sound asleep when he felt drops of water on his face. Opening his eyes he saw the face of an angry Maximus glaring at him.
"Well I hope you're ready to apologize." Eugene said smugly.
Immediately everyone was woken up to the sound of him screaming. Looking over they saw Maximus dragging Eugene away by his boot.
"Hey!" Roxas yells as he and Daring ran over and grabbed Eugene's arms and pulled.
"Give…him back!" Daring grunts as they pull Eugene out of the boot and tumbling backwards.
"That is one persistent horse." Darling said impressed.
Maximus looks to see the boot still in his mouth and neighs as he runs at them.
"Whoa, whoa whoa, easy boy easy." Rosabella, Rapunzel, and Ashlynn said getting in front of Maximus. As she talked Maximus seemed to calm down.
"Now sit." Ashlynn said as Maximus bent down. "Sit." This time he sat all the way down.
"Now drop the boot. Drop it." Rosabella said as Max spit it out.
"Wow you girls are really good with animals." Rapunzel said walking over to him. "Aw you are such a good boy yes you are. Are tired from chasing the bad man all over the place?" Rapunzel asks petting him who nods in agreement.
"Hey!" Eugene said offended.
"I'm sorry who has wanted posters everywhere?" Ramona said sarcastically.
"Nobody appreciates you, do they?" Rapunzel asks, and Maximus shakes his head.
"Seriously? He's a wild animal." Eugene said in shock.
"Oh, he's just a big softie aren't you." Rapunzel said reading his belt. "Maximus. Listen today is like the most important day of my life and I kinda need you to not get him arrested." She said shocking both Eugene and Maximus. "Just for 24 hours after that you can chase each other to your hearts content."
"Fine." Eugene mumbles holding out his hand.
"Did I mention it's also my birthday?" Rapunzel said as Maximus lifts his hoove up and the two of them shake.
Suddenly Rapunzel hears the sounds of bells ringing and walks towards it. Using this opening Max nails Eugene in the gut.
"I think I like this horse." Hunter laughs.
"I know I do." Raven smirks.
Running up to Rapunzel Holly and Poppy stop her. "Hold on Rapunzel there's just one thing we need to do before you go." Poppy said.
"Uh what?" Rapunzel asks confused.
Sitting down everyone watched as Holly and Poppy worked their magic and braided Rapunzel's hair and added flowers to make it significantly shorter and easier to move in.
"Wow thank you." Rapunzel said loving her new hair.
"We always used to ask our mom to braid her hair, so we've had lots of practice." Holly smiles.
"Well your mom sounds really lucky." Rapunzel smiles.
Walking over Eugene stares at Rapunzel in awe at how pretty she looks. Seeing this Max makes a funny face indicating he knew Eugene liked her.
Arriving in Corona everyone looked in awe at the beautiful city filled with emblems of the sun on purple banners all over the place.
As Rapunzel walks Roxas looks to everyone. "You know Rapunzel doesn't have to be the only one having fun."
Everyone smiles hearing this.
"I love it when we get to have fun on missions." Maddie claps.
Following Rapunzel into Corona Roxas looks around to see people putting flowers by a tiled painting of the royal family but what really got his attention was the little girl in the queen's arms she had golden and hair and green eyes.
"Wait a minute she looks familiar." Roxas said as a little girl and her family put some flowers down. "Excuse me." Roxas walks over. "What is all this?"
"This is in tribute to the lost princess of Corona, we do this every year in hope that she'll find her way back here." The little girl said.
"Lost Princess?" Roxas said looking at the painting one more time.
"Hey Roxas, what are you looking out" Rapunzel asks coming over to get him when she does she looks at the tile painting of the princess. As she stares at it musicians walk by.
When Eugene and the others walk over with some snacks they arrive to see Rapunzel dancing to the music they were playing.
(Play Kingdom dance)
Reaching over Rapunzel grabs Roxas pulling him out to dance. Seeing this everyone from Ever After smiled.
"Want to join them?" Raven asks holding out her hand to Dexter who gladly took it.
"Milady?" Hunter asks Ashlynn who giggles in joy.
"Shall we?" Alistair asks Bunny who nods taking his hand.
Soon everyone was dancing with Rapunzel while Blondie was recording everything. Seeing them all dance and have fun most of Corona joined in and it became a party.
Looking over Rapunzel gestures for Eugene to join them. At first, he refuses but Max and Pascal push him towards the crowd forcing him to get caught up in the dance.
Everyone laughed as they had the time of their lives. As Roxas was dancing with an elderly lady the partner switch started and Roxas found himself dancing with Maddie.
Grabbing his hand Maddie smiles as the two of them dance together. Seeing the smile on her face as she laughs with joy Roxas couldn't help but smile too.
As the day was coming to an end everyone was dancing around having fun and when the song ended Roxas found himself spinning right into Apple as the two of them grab each other's hands surprising them.
(End song)
"To the boats!" Someone said as it was time for the lanterns.
"Oh, uh wow. That was fun." Apple said nervously.
"Well time for Rapunzel to see what she's been waiting for all this time." Roxas said.
At the docks everyone from Ever After and Maximus were sitting on the docks getting comfortable as Eugene helped Rapunzel onto a small boat.
"We'll be right back after all this over." Eugene said when he notices the look on Rapunzel's face. "Hey, are you okay?"
"I'm terrified." Rapunzel said surprising them.
"Why?" Namine asks.
"I've been looking out a window for 18 years, dreaming of this moment. What if it's not everything I've dreamed about?" Rapunzel asks.
"It will be." Eugene said.
"And what if it is? What then?" She asks.
"Well that's the best part. You get to find a new dream." Eugene said as they row out onto the water.
As night came everyone was sitting down peacefully waiting for the lanterns.
"Hey sorry about the fight yesterday." Roxas said looking at Maximus who shrugs it off. "You know for a someone who wields a sword with his teeth you're pretty tough." Maximus neighs happy to hear that.
Namine looks up to the castle and sees a light floating up from it. "Look!" She said pointing to sky getting everyone's attention.
Looking up everyone saw hundreds maybe even thousands of lanterns floating in the air above them and everyone was in awe.
"It's amazing." Cedar said.
"No wonder your mom wanted to see this so badly." Lizzie smiles.
"It's beautiful." Darling smiles.
Taking out their Mirror Phones everyone took pictures of the lanterns.
"Alright everyone gather together." Blondie said setting the timer on her Mirror Pad. Running over everyone smiles as it took a picture of all of them with the lanterns.
"Now that's a picture worthy of the school yearbook." Apple smiles.
"Really cause I think something like this is better." Raven said swiping to show them all with the ruffians back at the Snuggly Duckling.
Roxas rolls his eyes at this and laughs.
After the lanterns went away everyone was waiting for Eugene and Rapunzel to come back.
"If it was half as amazing where they were as it was here Rapunzel must've loved it." Cerise said.
"I know we did." Cedar smiles.
"Oh, I hope she and Eugene had a magical moment together." Cupid said.
"Rapunzel!" They heard Eugene yell from nearby. Looking over Apple, Namine and Raven look to see the guards tying up Eugene who had the tiara with him. "No please! You don't understand! I must help her! Rapunzel!" Eugene yells as they carry him away.
Gasping at this they run sneak back to the others.
"Rapunzel's been kidnapped." Apple said.
"And Eugene has been arrested." Namine said startling Maximus.
"What is it boy?" Rosabella asks.
Maximus neighs as he leads them to the courtyard pointing to the middle they gasp to see the Hangman's noose.
"They're going to kill Eugene." Lizzie said.
"Not if we have anything to say about it." Roxas said.
"Music to my ears." Daring smirks.
"I smell a rescue." Cerise grins.
"What's the plan Roxas?" Melody asks.
"First things first we're gonna need some backup." Roxas smiles knowing just where to go.
Running through the forest Kitty, Melody, Hunter, Ashlynn and Namine were riding Maximus and a few other horses as fast as they could go.
"How did Eugene even get caught? I thought he was an expert at avoiding jail?" Hunter asks.
"Something must have happened. We're almost there Maximus." Namine said as he neighed in determination.
"I'll go on ahead cat's travel faster." Kitty said doing her disappearing act.
Suddenly a huge tree falls in front of them startling Max and the other horses.
"Sorry runts, but you aren't going any further." Climbing over the fallen tree were the Stabbington brothers.
"Out of the way we're in a hurry." Hunter said.
"Not a chance, you see an old lady has offered us quite a reward for handing over that lady with the long hair and the head of Flynn Rider." Sideburns said.
"Old Lady?" Ashlynn asks.
Melody gasps. "Rapunzel's mother!"
"You guys are the reason he got arrested!" Ashlynn accuses.
"Is it any different than what he did to us?" Patchy asks as the 4 of them climb off the horses.
"If we want to help save Eugene you know what we have to do first." Namine said as she and Ashlynn summon their Keyblades, Hunter grabs his bow and Melody readies her Battle Mix.
Drawing their swords Patchy and Sideburns jump from the tree towards them. Jumping out of the way Hunter draws bows from his quiver and fires them, but Patchy slices them to pieces with his sword.
Charging forward Patchy slashes Hunter who blocks the attack with his bow.
The two of them struggle to gain the upperhand. "Nice bow you have here, maybe I can make some decent Munny off it." Patchy grins.
"Get real." Hunter growls.
Coming up from behind him Ashlynn swings Stroke of Midnight knocking Patchy sideways.
"Nobody hurts my Hunter." Ashlynn grins.
As Sideburns charged towards Melody Namine sidesteps over and strikes only for him to block it. Sideburns swings his sword, but Namine ducks in the nick of time.
"Try my newest mix it's so awesome it'll leave you shocked!" Melody fires multiple music notes that combine to make a song page. Surrounding Sideburns, the music notes release electricity zapping him multiple times.
Sideburns drops to his knee in pain using this opening Namine charges with her Keyblade, but at the last second Sideburns grabs her by the handle of her Keyblade and throws her backwards.
Patchy slams his sword down on Ashlynn using his upper body strength he pushes her backwards before knocking her backwards with a hard tackle.
"Ashlynn!" Hunter yells running over to her.
"Time to end this." Patchy reaches for his sword only to find it was gone. "What the? Where's my sword?"
"Meow." Turning around they saw Kitty with two swords in her hands. "Looking for these boys."
"You little brat!" Patchy yells.
"Hmph that's no way to treat a cat." Kitty throws their swords up into the air as the brothers look up Kitty disappears and reappears in between. "Surprise." Kitty grabs their heads and makes the two brothers headbutt each other.
As the two brothers hold their heads in pain Kitty jumps back. "Quick!" Kitty yells.
Melody slams her hands on the Battle Mix making two large Music notes slam into them. Hunter draws his bow and fires four arrows hitting them in the arms.
Charging forward Namine and Ashlynn slam their keyblades into their guts knocking the wind out of both the Stabbington brothers causing them to fall to the ground beaten.
"Whoo thanks for coming back Kitty." Namine said.
"Good thinking stealing their swords." Ashlynn said.
"Thieves never think anyone can steal from them that's what makes it easy." Kitty grins.
"Did you make it?" Hunter asks as four shadows appear behind Kitty
"You bet I did." Kitty said doing her signature Cheshire grin.
The next morning at the prison Eugene was pacing around his cell worried about Rapunzel. Suddenly the door to his cell opens revealing the captain and a few guards.
"It's time Rider." He said.
"Time for what?" Eugene asks, but when he sees the expression on his face he realizes what he meant. Walking down the hallway to the hangman's noose Eugene notices a small ceramic unicorn by the window, suddenly the door in front of them, behind and to the side slam shut.
"What the? Open up!" The captain demands knocking on it when the eye hole opens to reveal Sparrow.
"What's the password?" Sparrow asks.
"What?" Captain said surprised.
"Wrong answer." Sparrow smiles closing it.
"Open this door!" He orders.
"Wow you suck at this." Sparrow laughs.
"You have 3 seconds! 1.." As he counted down a hook and a giant hand reached in and grabbed the two guards holding Eugene. "2…3." He turns around to see Eugene had no guards watching him. Opening the door Sparrow and Atilla step out and Sparrow whacks the Captain in the head with his guitar.
"Guys!" Eugene smiles when more guards come running in. Reacting quickly Atilla grabs Eugene's arm signaling for him to follow him as Hook Hand, Vladimir and Sparrow take off in different directions.
Chasing after Eugene and Atilla the guards turn a corner to see Ulf miming in front of them causing the guards to stop in wonder. Turning his head Ulf looks to the left and the guards turn to see Cerise and Ramona running with Vladimir screaming as he charged to them.
The guards scream in fear as the three of them slam into them knocking their helmets off their head. Turning away Ulf mimics a shocked face.
Outside in the courtyard Apple, Briar and Raven were moving a wagon into position.
"You sure this will work Apple?" Raven asks.
"I'm betting my A+ in Mathematics on this so it better." Apple said.
Running out of the prison Eugene, Hookhand and Atilla look behind the girls to see an army of guards being held back by the remaining students.
"Anytime now!" Dexter yells as they were forced to run backwards.
"Well it's now or never." Briar said as Hook Hand grabs Eugene and moves him.
"Head down." Hook Hand said.
"Head down." Eugene repeats.
"Arms in."
"Arms in."
"Knees apart."
"Knees apart. Wait knees apart? Why do I need my— AAAAHHH!" Eugene screams a Vladimir jumps down from the second-floor landing on the wagon launching Eugene into the air landing right into Max's saddle.
"GOAL!" Maddie cheers.
"Nailed it." Apple smiles.
Sprinting along the gate Max jumps over the wall and into the town of Corona. Coming up behind him were two horses, but on them was Roxas, Holly and Poppy.
"Roxas? You brought them here?" Eugene asks surprised.
"Max was a big help if it wasn't for him and these guys we never would have made it in time." Roxas said.
"Eugene, Rapunzel was taken back to the tower it's her mother!" Poppy said.
"Alright Max let's see how fast you can run." Eugene said as they sprinted towards Rapunzel's tower.
Racing through the woods they arrive at the tower. Jumping off the four of them run to the window.
"Rapunzel let down your hair!" Eugene yells. A minute ladder Rapunzel's hair falls out the window and lands in front of them. "Time to get climbing." Eugene said as they grabbed Rapunzel's hair and climbs up.
Reaching the top Eugene climbs in through window. "Oh, Rapunzel I thought I would never see you again. Huh?" He looks to see Rapunzel chained up in the corner with a cloth covering her mouth.
As Mother Gothel sneaks up behind she was about to stab him with a knife when a rope made of hair grabs her hand and pulls her backwards.
"What the?" Mother Gothel looked behind she sees Holly holding her hair like a rope, Poppy holding her frying pan, and Roxas had Monster and Proud ready for battle.
"Step away from them right now." Roxas glares.
"Great more people know about our secret. Well no matter once I kill all of you things will go back to normal Rapunzel." Mother Gothel said stepping back towards Rapunzel.
"Listen lady no mother of any sorts would do this to their own daughter we're taking Rapunzel and leaving." Holly glares.
"I don't think so. You see Rapunzel's hair has another power one that nobody except me knows about." Gothel grins surprising them.
"What?" Roxas said.
"Flower dark and dry
Make my enemies cry
Make the clock move side to side
grow the darkness deep inside
And make their hearts mine
Their Hearts mine."
Gothel chants as darkness flows from Rapunzel's hair towards Gothel surrounding her and Rapunzel when the darkness faded away a black flower was dangling from the wall and in the center of it was a chained-up Rapunzel running down it's roots was her hair looping around Gothel's arms as the ends of it turned black.
Roxas, Poppy, Holly, Eugene and Pascal all look up in shock at the trapped Rapunzel.
"How could you do this to her?!" Eugene asks stunned.
"How could I? How could you? I found the Golden flower myself centuries before any of you were even born. Using its amazing power, I used to keep myself young throughout all of it. Until the sad Queen of Corona got sick boo hoo. Everyone scrambled to find a cure and they took my golden flower. And once the Queen used it she had a baby girl with the power of the flower. It was only right that I took back what was rightfully mine." Gothel said shocking everyone.
"Rapunzel's the lost princess?!" Eugene said.
"You kidnapped her and hid her out all these years?!" Roxas said furious.
"I did out of love." Gothel said.
"Troll spit!" Holly and Poppy said angry.
"You kidnapped her just so you could stay young forever. Well guess what it ends now." Roxas glares.
"Just try." Gothel taunted before using the dark energy from the hair to fire darkness blasts at them.
Looping her hair around the stair case Holly pulls herself out of the way as Roxas and Poppy block with their weapons.
"We got to get Rapunzel out of that flower!" Roxas said.
Picking up the dagger Gothel tried to stab him with Eugene looks at her. "I'll get Rapunzel in the meantime we got a mother with some serious issues to deal with."
Roxas charges forward as Gothel turns the hair into whips and flicks them at him. Rolling to the side Roxas jumps up and slashes her across the chest causing her to scream in pain.
Seeing the opening Holly and Poppy ready their frying pans and swing knocking Gothel backwards.
Recovering from the attack Gothel whips the hair knocking Holly and Poppy back.
"Firaga!" Roxas fires a giant ball of fire that burns away some of the hair causing Gothel to shriek at the sight.
"You little!" Gothel roars as the flower glows causing Rapunzel to scream in pain as her power was being drained.
"Rapunzel!" Eugene said running towards her only to have the flower shoot out a beam of light knocking him and Roxas back.
As Gothel was about to strike them Pascal runs at Gothel and bites down on her dress distracting her. "What the? Get off me!" She yells.
Using this opening Holly swings in with her hair and kicks Gothel into the wall before grabbing Pascal and getting him to safety. "What a brave little fighter." Holly smiles petting him.
Pascal smiles softly as Poppy helps Eugene up.
"We can't let her use that attack again." Poppy said.
"Is there any way we can weaken her?" Eugene asks.
"Wait a minute. Remember when Rapunzel told us about her hair?" Roxas said recovering.
"If we cut it the hair losses its power." Holly gasps.
Summoning Flames of Union in his other hand Roxas readies himself. "I'll stall her you three get Rapunzel out of that flower."
Everyone nods as Roxas charges forward. Gothel shoots out multiple spears of hair jumping up Roxas spins swinging both as flames erupt from Flames of Union burning Gothel and bats shoot out of Monster and Proud that slash her with their wings.
Gothel summons the hair whips and whips them at Roxas, but he rolls out of the way and sprints towards her at full speed slamming both of his Keyblades into her causing her to fly backwards into the wall.
"That's it you die first!" Gothel screams as hair whips shoot out wrapping around his arms. "Now die!" Gothel said as darkness flowed down the hair and spread around Roxas's body causing him to scream in pain.
Seeing this Poppy looks in horror as she picks up a blade of broken glass and charges cutting the hair infecting Roxas causing Gothel to scream in pain as the hair she cut turned brown.
Using this opening Eugene climbs to the top of the flower where Rapunel was and removes the cloth.
"Eugene." Rapunzel said.
"Hang on Blondie we're getting you out." Eugene said.
"No, even if you save me she'll just come after me again." Rapunzel begged.
"Not after this." Eugene holds the dagger and cuts Rapunzel's blonde hair.
"Eugene." Rapunzel said in shock as her hair turned brown.
"No. No! What have you done?!" Gothel yells as her body begins to wrinkle and her hair turns white. Running over to the mirror Gothel looks in horror as age was catching up with her. "No! No! No!" Gothel yells pulling her hood over her head to hide her face.
Grabbing Rapunzel's hair on the ground Pascal moves it so Gothel falls out the window. As she falls her body turns to dust before she hits the ground.
Looking at what happens in shock Rapuznel snaps out of it when Roxas groans in pain as the darkness continued to spread throughout his body. "Roxas!" Rapunzel said as they all came over. "No, no, no no. This cannot be happening." Rapunzel brings Roxas's hand up to her hair. "Flower gleam and glow let your power shine." Rapunzel sobs seeing that it wasn't working.
"Roxas please hang in there." Poppy said as tears forms.
"Maybe the others showed up. Rapunzel we have to hurry." Eugene said.
Rapunzel nods as they ran down the staircase to the back entrance Gothel used hoping to find someone.
Holly looks at Poppy holding Roxas tight when suddenly it hit her. "Poppy the song what if we tried?" Holly said surprising her.
"What?" Poppy said looking up.
"We're Rapunzel's daughters if she can do it maybe we can too." Holly said.
"Well you're trying to be the next Rapunzel you try." Poppy said getting up and letting Holly bend down.
"Hang on Roxas." Holly said as Roxas groans in pain.
"Flower gleam and glow
let your power shine
make the clock reverse
bring back what once was mine."
However, as Holly sang her hair didn't glow at all and the darkness was causing Roxas to scream in agony.
Poppy looks in horror. 'What we do? I don't want to lose Roxas, but Holly has Mom's destiny what can I do…wait a minute.' Poppy's eyes widen.
Flashback:
Holly and Poppy were in their room getting ready for their next classes.
"So little sis see you at the hair salon after school?" Holly asks.
"You know it big sis." Poppy smiles when her Mirror Pad starts to ring. Answering it an image of an old woman with white hair appears on screen. "Hi, Nanny Nona." Poppy smiles.
"Holly?" She asks.
"No silly I'm Poppy the younger twin." Poppy said putting on her lipstick.
"Oh, yes well you know how Holly is older by 3 seconds? Well I made a teeny tiny mistake you're the older sibling." Nona said shocking Poppy.
"But I don't want to be the next Rapunzel. I want to choose my own destiny. And being the next Rapunzel is everything to Holly." Poppy said in shock.
Eventually Holly and Poppy sat down so she could tell her sister.
"What's going on Poppy?" Holly asks.
"Nanny Nona called, she mixed up or birth certificates, and you're the younger twin." Poppy admits.
"What? But that means." Holly realizes.
"I'm supposed to be the next Rapunzel not you." Poppy finishes.
"But I liked being the next Rapunzel." Holly said.
"And I liked being something else." Poppy said.
"Wait who else knows about this?" Holly asks.
"No one." Poppy said.
"Well what do you say this stays our little secret that way we both get the destinies we want." Holly winks holding up her pinkie.
"I love it. Thanks." Poppy said as they pinkie promise.
"I'm just trying to let my hair down." Holly said as they both laughed.
Flashback end.
Poppy looks down at Roxas and realizes what she had to do.
"Holly let me try." Poppy said bending down towards Roxas.
"But Poppy what if it doesn't work?" Holly asks worried.
"I have to try Holly. Roxas is the most amazing person I've ever met he helped me find the destiny I wanted." Poppy said holding Roxas tight.
Flower gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine.
Poppy said when her hair started to glow and a bright light surrounds Roxas eliminating all the darkness around his body.
"P-Poppy you did it." Holly said surprised.
"Poppy." Roxas said weakly.
"Roxas?" Poppy smiles softly.
"Have I ever said how amazing you are?" Roxas said causing Poppy to smile widely.
"Roxas!" Poppy smiles pulling him into a big hug. Causing them both to laugh. Happy to see he was alive and safe Poppy grabs Roxas by his jacket and pulls him into a kiss on the lips surprising him.
Walking back up Eugene and Rapunzel see Poppy and Roxas kissing and smile. "I take it we missed something big?" Eugene smirks.
"Eh nothing much." Holly giggles as they separate and were both blushing at what just happened as they smile.
Poppy strokes her hair nervously as Roxas was still blushing.
Soon everyone from Ever After High met up with them as they brought Rapunzel back to Corona. And once the King and Queen saw their long-lost daughter they were so happy Eugene and all the Ruffians were cleared of all past crimes and they were all declared Heroes of Corona.
At the castle Rapunzel put her tiara on her head as she, Eugene, Pascal, and Maximus celebrated with them in the town square like on her birthday.
Suddenly some light forms in Roxas's hands and from it a new Keyblade forms the blade was Rapunzel's tower and at the end of it was a sun like the symbol of Corona, the guard was shaped like a lantern and at the end was a keychain shaped like Pascal.
Reacting to Rapunzel's tiara Roxas aims his new Keyblade at the sky sealing the Keyhole.
"I think I like this Keyblade a lot." Poppy said.
"So, what are you going to name this one?" Cedar asks.
"How about…Golden Eternity?" Roxas smiles.
"Love it." Apple said.
"Do you guys really have to go? The party is just getting started." Eugene said.
"Yeah sorry Flynn." Cerise said.
"Actually, I'm gonna go back to being called Eugene." He smiles.
"Max you continue to be amazing okay?" Rosabella said petting his mane and Maximus neighs happlily.
"Goodbye Pascal." Holly and Poppy said as the Chameleon smiles as they hug him.
"You all take care of each other and come back anytime." Rapunzel smiles.
"Oh, we will this place is amazing." Raven said.
As they left Corona to go back to the Tempest Roxas looks over to Poppy who smiled back at him. Thinking back to the kiss Roxas turned around and touched his lips. Sure he had gotten kissed before in the past, but this one was different.
"So Poppy how did it feel?" Holly whispers causing her to blush.
"It was…magic Holly it just felt so amazing." Poppy sighs.
"Roxas is a lucky guy." Holly smiles.
"I'd like to think I'm the lucky one." Poppy smiles. 'He's given me so much. I love you Roxas and I hope I can say that to your face soon and when I do I hope you feel the same.' Poppy thought as they all boarded the Tempest and took off leaving Corona.
Roxas's Harem: Namine, Poppy, Cerise, Maddie, Melody, Briar, and Apple.
Here's a hint for the next world: They will be meeting Clan Dunbronch
