The sound of the bell echoes throughout the school. Signaling the end of the day.

"Well. That's it for today, folks. We lost a lot of time with the introductions. But that's usually how it is in the first day. I'll wait for you all tomorrow." Said Professor Moogle. Floating out of the room. Leaving the students alone.

"Are we just going to accept this?" Severa complained once more.

"What choice do we have?" Goofy asked.

"The being we brought here must be very powerful. Otherwise, how could he gather all these people?" Lars said.

"I agree. If only we could have some direct contact with this mysterious being." Akechi said. Then Ren had na idea.

"Hey. This place is a school. So there's probably a principal."

"Wait. Do you think the principal of this place could be the one responsible for this?" Ann asked.

"It's very likely. I'll try to talk to them." Ren guessed.

"I'll go with you, Joker." Sora said.

"Me too. I think the three of us should be enough." Robin said.

"Alright. You guys go talk to the principal's office. Then share what you learned with us." Lars said. The three nodded and continued on their way, not realizing that they were being watched by Kazuya.

"This is the place?" Sora asked. He saw a door decorated in blue. With a sign that said "Principal".

"It must be. If not, the sign is lying." Robin said.

Ren stared at that door, feeling something familiar coming from behind it.

"Sora-san. Robin-san. I feel like we should be careful." Ren warned. "I feel something very strange coming from that door."

"Okay. We'll." Robin said. With that, Ren opened the door, and the three entered.

As they entered, they noticed a dark atmosphere that the room gave off. The room was painted dark blue, with twinkling shooting stars painted on the walls. In the center of the room, there was a small glass table. With two sofas on each side. And in the back, a large table and behind it, a window with closed blue blinds.

Ren's eyes widened. For he recognized the being behind the large table, and her companions who were standing, one on each side of the table. Not to mention the familiar and somber piano melody that covered the room.

"...Welcome to the velvet room. Or should I say, principal's office?" Said the principal, who had a macabre appearance with his long nose and deep voice. "My name is Igor. It's a pleasure to meet you. And these are my assistants: Justine and Caroline."

"Hmpf! I see you finally decided to show up, inmate!" Caroline complains.

"We would usually punish you for keeping the principal waiting, but since it's your first day, we'll let it slide." Justine explains.

Ren is speechless. He didn't expect to see these people, or beings.

While Sora and Robin are confused. They don't know who they are, but they can feel a great power coming from the three of them, especially the principal, which makes them alert.

"...inmate?" Robin is the first to break the silence.

"Are you talking to one of us?" Sora asks.

"Igor, Justine, Caroline..." Ren begins. "You mean we're in a dream?"

"Hmph! Why don't I hit you on the head and test that theory, inmate?" Caroline said.

"This time, we're in the real world. At least, in another real world." Justine said.

"So, we really are in another world." Ren said.

"Joker? Do you know them?" Sora asked.

"Yes. They are residents of the Velvet Room. A place there exist between mind and matter. Dream and reality. They help me on my journey, providing me with new personas." Ren explained.

"Between mind and matter? If they help you with your powers, it means they're quite powerful." Robin realized.

"Dream and reality? You mean we're in the dream world?" Sora asked.

"Oi! Didn't you hear us, Guardian?!" Caroline complained.

"Honestly." Justine added.

"Heh. Sorry." Sora apologized.

"No, Sora." Another voice comes in. "As the principal's assistants explained, we are in another world, completely different from what you have seen before." A very tall man magically appears next to Igor's chair. He wears blue wizard's robes, has a long white beard and a stern but wise look.

"Master Yen Sid?!" Sora shouts in surprise.

"Do you know him?" Robin asks.

"Yes. He is a retired Keyblade master. And he is quite strong too." Sora explains.

"I see you already know the deputy principal, Guardian." Igor says.

"Deputy?" Sora asks.

"Igor. If I may ask, why did you bring us here?" Ren asks, receiving in response only a sinister laugh from the headmaster.

"Finally, I found the responsible for this nonsense." The trio turns around and is surprised to see Kazuya entering through the door.

"Kazuya?!"

"Well. The devil has arrived." Igor says.

"Hm. So the feeling I felt came from you. I've never felt darkness like yours." Yen Sid said.

"I order you to take me back to my world right now!" Kazuya said, releasing some of his power, threatening Igor, who didn't seem shaken.

"How dare you threaten our master!" Caroline shouted.

"Put yourself in your place! Student!" Justine shouted.

"Get out of my way, brats." Kazuya said, ready to attack.

"Kazuya! Wait!" Ren shouted, getting Kazuya's attention. "You don't want to fight with the twins. They have powers that transcend time and space. And Igor, their master, is much more powerful."

"At least let's hear their explanation!" Robin asked, also not wanting Kazuya to start a fight.

Kazuya stares at them for a few seconds, but decides to cooperate for now and lower his demonic aura.

"I'll listen to what you have to say." He said, crossing his arms. "But if I don't like it. I'll kill you."

"How dare you?!" Caroline screams. But Igor raises his arm, telling her to calm down.

"It's okay, Caroline. But now, what brings the trickster, the tactician, the guardian and the devil to my room?" Igor asks.

The first three exchange glances, while Kazuya doesn't take his eyes off Igor.

"Igor." Ren takes the floor. "Why did you bring us to this world?"

"...I could answer that question. But unfortunately, it's not up to me to answer." Igor said.

"What?"

"I know who brought you, and I can assure you it wasn't me." Igor answers, surprising the quartet.

"What?" Robin asks.

"So, who was it?" Ren asks.

"Someone much more powerful than me and the deputy principal."

"What?!" Sora is alarmed.

"Someone much more powerful?" Robin asked worriedly.

"Who is it?" Kazuya asked, narrowing his gaze.

"I can't say." Igor replied.

"Then why bring us here?" Ren asked.

"I can't answer that either. But I can assure you that we all have roles to fulfill. You as students, and us as those responsible for managing this school." Igor said, tapping his fingers on the table.

"And if we all fulfill the roles we were given, we can return to our home worlds." Yen Sid replied.

"In other words. Follow the rules." Justine said.

"Or you will suffer the consequences!" Caroline said. The four of them didn't seem satisfied with the answer.

"With all due respect. But none of us asked for this." Robin said.

"Indeed. Why should I agree to this nonsense?" Kazuya asked. Which made Igor laugh.

"I assure you, devil. You won't be able to get out of here with brute force. And even if you try to challenge me, I assure you that you are not the most powerful in this room." Igor said, staring at Kazuya, creating a tense atmosphere in the room. Ren, Robin and Sora are worried that Kazuya will attack Igor. While Justine and Caroline are already ready to stop him. A few seconds pass, until Kazuya lets out a laugh.

"Hmph. Interesting." Kazuya said, surprising the others. "Alright. I'll follow your rules, for now. But remember. One day I will find a way to get out of here. And I will kill you and the brats in the process." Kazuya promises.

"What nerve!" Caroline shouts.

"How dare you threaten our master?" Justine asks.

"Hu Hu! Interesting indeed. I'll see the day, if you can keep that promise." Igor said. Ren is impressed by Kazuya's guts.

"Now. It's time for you to leave. You came here for information, correct? Go and share it with your companions." Said Yed Sid.

The four exchanged glances.

"Alright." Ren said. And the quartet headed for the exit. But not before hearing the words of their directors.

"May your hearts, be your guide key."

"Hu Hu! This'll be interesting."

"What a bumer." Sora said. The four met in the school hallway. "We left with more questions than answers."

"But at least we have confirmation that na incredibly powerful being brought us here. We just don't know why." Robin said.

"And if this being is more powerful than Igor and the twins, then there's no way we can really get out of here by brute force." Ren said.

"Hmph! Speak for yourself, kid. I'll find a way to kill them." Kazuya said. He turned to leave.

"Wait! Kazuya!" Sora called. "We should join forces!"

"Hmph! I still don't intend to join you." Kazuya said.

"Kazuya, I ask you not to do anything for now. We don't know yet what they'll do to us if we break the rules." Robin asked. Kazuya said nothing more and left.

"I bet he won't tell Lars and the others what we found out." Sora guessed. Making Robin sigh.

"Yeah. Just what i thought. " Robin said.

"Looks like we really have no choice. We'll have to play by their rules." Ren said.

"That, or we might even find another way out of here." Robin said.

"Until then, why don't we have some fun?" Sora smiled. "It'll be nice to hang out with you guys again." Sora said, hugging them both by the neck. Making them laugh too.

"Yeah. I think it'll be okay for us to have some fun." Ren smiled.

"I think we should take this seriously. But I admit that a vacation would be nice." Robin admitted.

"Hehe!" Sora laughed.

"Let's go. It looks like our new life in this world has just begun." Ren said.
