Hello everybody, I have borrowed something that I have planned out for a while now, it is my Kingdom Hearts Story!
I have been planning this one for a good year and a half or so, so I'm hoping that the things I got planned out are all to your liking.
Now following a little while after the events of Kingdom Hearts 2, Master Yen Sid instructsSoira, Donald, Goofy, Mickey, Riku, Kairi, and Lea to investigate a few worlds that have been falling to Heartless swarms. Who is responsible? We shall have to wait and find out.
Now just to clarify with you all. Summertime is a bit hectic because it means overtime hours and the heat is so intense. So If I am working on a story and it goes into the summer, updates will either be slow or I will go on hiatus till the Overtime dials back. But since we are approaching Fall, I will have some more free time on my hands…for the most part.
Anyway, let's sit back and start this thing!
Kingdom Hearts belongs to Tetsuya Nomura, Shinji Hashimoto, Disney, and Square Enix.
Prydain/Dark Castle
Somewhere deep within the land of Prydain, there was a large, dark, decrypt castle. A castle of old that was inhabited by barbarians and other dark creatures. Normally the castle was not there for visitors, and if there were…well.. let's just say that these visitors would never be shown again. However, there was one particular figure at the castle, hoping to avoid the guards.
"Oh boy, this place looks good to gain some new Heartless for our army!" A large fat anthropomorphic cat wearing armor that was colored in shades of blue and purple, and was overtop a red, short-sleeved shirt with a vertical pink stripe descending from the neck. He also had on a pair of navy blue and white sneakers that had light fronts and two periwinkle straps that kept each one secured. His navy blue pants had blue lining on them, purple at the lower leg areas, and two large pouches on either front side. The pouches were attached to the pants by four pins, with both of them sporting silver, horizontal zippers. But the most distinguishing thing about these pants was the enormous zipper that went from the front and reached around to the back of the pants.
His outfit also consisted of two navy blue pauldrons that sported two cyan bums and a periwinkle area near the lower section on each shoulder. There were also two gold buttons at the top of the pants that connected to two blue suspenders that had interacted over his chest before connecting to two similar buttons on his shoulder pauldrons. The cat also wore a pair of fingerless gauntlets, with the wrists being light blue with a pale yellow semi-circle on top. The gloves were periwinkle with a bump on each knuckle, and there was a dark blue-green design on the back of each glove that had descended from each knuckle to the end of the gloves. This was Pete, the minion of the evil fairy Maleficent, and he was responsible for building her army of Heartless throughout the world.
Pete arrived in this particular world to not only find some hearts to make more Heartless but to also find them a new base of operations. And form the layout of the place? Meh, beggars can't be choosers. "And the palace is nice as well!" Pete said. "I mean the place is a bit dusty…and old. Nonetheless, Maleficent will be pleased!" He said with glee.
But known to him he was being watched by a small little green creature wearing a purple head, and brown shorts, and was on all fours and had an ugly appearance. This creature's name was simply called Creeper. "An intruder! I must inform Sire!" He said as he puffed and ran out of the room on all fours in a hurry.
Meanwhile, Pete was still overlooking the area, and as he was doing it, he took notice of a particular cauldron right in the middle of the room. Now he didn't know if it was hunger, or if it was curiosity, but something was telling him to go closer to the cauldron. "Hmm," He said in curiosity as he walked closer to the cauldron. "What a peculiar cauldron…but why do I sense-"
BAM
Pete was met with a magic blast right near his face and he angrily turned around. "WHAT'S THE-" But he immediately stopped as soon as he saw who did it. It was the supposed ruler of this castle.
The ruler of the castle was nothing like the armed barbarians in the castle, the ruler of the castle was an undead creature of pure evil and darkness who had a skeletal appearance with green rotting skin with two gnarled horns on his head. He also wore a dark red tattered cloak, the name of this monster was simply known as…the Horned King.
As soon as Pete saw this figure, all his bravado was dropped and he got terrified and nervous. This figure…whatever he was, it made Pete shiver and look terrified, even more so than Maleficent!
The Horned King then raised his arm and all of a sudden, Pete was enveloped by a red aura and brought forth towards the king's face, the face looking decrypt and skeletal-like with his eyes glowing red in anger. "Who are you? And what are you doing here in my castle?" He asked in a calm, yet terrifying voice.
Pete gulped. "W-well y-pou s-see." Pete stammered, trying to get his wording out, but he was failing to do so. And it made the Horned King a bit irritated.
"If you don't explain yourself right now, I will personally see to it that my soldiers skin you alive." the evil lich said to him. "NOW EXPLAIN!" He roared in a booming tone.
If Pete wasn't scared before…well…now all the color drained from his face. "Ok, I was sent here by Maleficent! To get more Heartless for her army!" He said.
The Horned King's eyes turned red once again. "Lies…" He said.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Pete said, waving his hands around frantically. "I'm telling you the truth, let me show you! Just please don't kill me!"
"Sire!" Creeper said as he hopped up frantically. "I say you kill him right away! Who knows what sort of lies and deceit he is trying to feed you!" He said, hoping to get on his master's good side.
The Horned King took a glance at Pete, something in his voice made it sound convincing, or he could also be lying to save his skin…but still, the name he said 'Heartless' Something about that name intrigued the king for a moment. "You, show me this…Heartless." He commanded as he then put Pete down.
The large cat brushed himself off. "O-okay then," He then got up and snapped his fingers. And a bunch of Heartless showed up and surrounded the Horned King and Creeper. The ones summoned were the only small mooks, for they were ant-like with black bodies and glowing yellow eyes. These were called the Shadows, a type of Pureblood Heartless.
Crepepr was shown to be a bit frightened by these figures, but the Horned King? Well, he frowned. "These are Heartless? These do not look so threatening."
Pete gulped. "Well you see, there are many other types, I just called out the ones that mostly serve as mooks you know?" He said.
The Horned King listened to those words and he got even more intrigued. "Really?" He asked, with the large cat nodding his head rapidly. "If you wish to live…you will tell me everything." He said.
Pete gulped again, he didn't want to, but seeing how dangerous this guy was…he felt as if he had no choice.
30 minutes later….
So," The Horned King started. "There are other worlds out there besides Prydain. And these Heartless go into those worlds to deliver darkness to all?" He asked.
"Yeppers!" Pete said with a grin, but he was nervously sweating. "Please don't let this guy kill me!" He thought with worry.
As the Horned King glared into the cat's eyes…or very soul, a thought came to his mind. "Yes…Keyblades…worlds…Heartless…I remember now…" He thought.
Creeper looked at his master. "Uh, master?" He asked.
The Horned King stayed quiet and then he gave a small chuckle..when then enveloped into a dull blown evil laugh, the sound of it made Pete and Creeper tremble a bit. "Brilliant, very brilliant," He said.
"Sore," Creeper said to him. "What's brilliant?"
The Horned King then went over to the cauldron. "Don't you get it? With other worlds out there the knowledge of these Heartless…and since I got the Black Cauldron…my moment of triumph is about to begin!" He said as he then turned to Pete. "You!"
"Yes sir?" Pete said with nervousness in his voice.
"You will summon this Maleficent here." He ordered, making Pete even more nervous.
"W-well you see-" stammered Pete, he didn't know what to be even more terrified of, this horned creature or summoning Maleficent here.
"Oh, do not worry, I shall come to you." A feminine voice that oozes evil and wickedness said in the air and in a moment a tower of green fire appeared before them all. Pete and Creeper both jumped in fright, but the Horned King was not intimidated in the slightest. Out of the flames, stood a feminine figure who was a tall woman who had light green skin and wore a long dark cloak that went all the way down to her feet where some of it dragged behind her. She also wore a headset that resembled horns, and she carried a long staff with a green ball on it. She also had a ring on her right middle finger. This was Maleficent, a fairy who was known as the Mistress of all Evil.
Creeper was now hiding behind a table along with Pete. "Th-that; 's Maleficent?" the little goblin creature asked with fear in his voice, Pete nodded in silence.
The Horned King and Maleficent stared each other down, both of them feeling that raw dark power radiating off of eachother, the tense benign so much that you could easily cut it with a knife. "Who are you…and why did you have this swine invade my castle?" The lich asked.
Maleficent chuckled. "You see, I sent him on a mission to look for more Heartless to build my army. I had no idea that this world would be the one he would end up in." She said to him,
The Horned King glared hard at her. "And he has told me a lot about you, my dear." He said. "About these…Heartless creatures, and other worlds..is that all true?" He asked as he then went over to a shelf to look for something.
Malevolent nodded her head. "He did, did he?" she asked as she sent Pete a vicious glare, making the fat cat sweat nervously. "Well then..he is correct. And you know...I can sense the darkness radiating off of you." She said to him, "If you wish…you could join me, and together we can rule all worlds!" She said,
The undead monarch turned around and looked at her as if he was thinking of something. "These Heartless do seem like worthy creatures to serve under me. What's the catch?"He asked.
"No catch, just know that you will serve me, and help me reclaim control of all worlds with the Heartless!" She said, "Allow me to do something." She said as her staff glowed green and the Horned King was enveloped in dark mist. "I grant you the power to control the Heartless!" She said,
The Horned King clenched his fists, he could feel it all. Darkness, power, radiating and going into his body….and he LOVED IT!" Soon the mist around him vanished and was right where he stood.
Maleficent grinned. "Now, Heartless! Come out!" She said as she summoned more Heartless at her disposal, the creatures summoned were Shadows and other types as well, surrounding her. "You see my king, these Heartless will obey you as long as you don't steep in the darkness for too long, the Heartless pray on it." She warned him.
The Horned King looked at her and the Heartless, and his body gave off a dark mist, and as if something went off or a switch flicked, the Heartless soon left Maleficent's side, making her confused. "Wha-where are you going?" she asked, how dare will the Heartless leave her? But then her eyes widened in shock when they went over to join the Horned King.
The king gave an evil look and raised his hand, dark mist radiating off of it as he then fired a beam of great speed and hit Maleficent, causing her to fly back and hit the walls in a thud.
"Maleficent!" Pete shouted in concern. The evil fairy struggled to get up, whatever type of magic blast the king hit her with…it was very strong and powerful.
"You think you could underestimate me?" The Horned King asked as he went over and with a vicious grip, grabbed Maleficent by the throat with mighty force, and easily lifted her off the ground. "I cast away my heart and soul a long time ago for power." He then brought her close so their eyes would meet. "If you think you can use me? Well, you just thought wrong…..dead wrong!" His eyes glowed red with malice that, his voice dripping with viciousness.
For the first time in…whatever. Maleficent was absolutely terrified. This Horned King….just what was he? And why was Maleficent scared for her own life? This couldn't happen to her. She was Maleficent: Mistress of all Evil! There was no way this…thing could best her…so why was she terrified?
"Sorry, Maleficent." The Horned King said as he raised his other hand, surging with dark flames. "But the Heartless have a new master now…" He said as he then placed his burning hand on Maleficent's forehead. And then she was immediately caught on fire.
When she caught on fire…Pete was horrified because it was so sudden, Maleficent screamed in absolute languishing pain, all while the Horned King looked on with silent glee. Her scream echoed through the room. All Pete and Creeper could do was look away and cringe at the scream, the Heartless…they just stood still.
After a few minutes, the screaming had stopped and the flame died down, leaving behind nothing more but her black cloak, nothing more, nothing less. Pete and Creeper came from out of hiding to see the sight, but the Horned King was glaring.
"No body left behind…well…no matter." He said as he raised the cloak. "Perhaps….this should suffice, hopefully." He said as he then walked on over to the cauldron and dropped the cloak inside, afterwards, he turned back to stare at Pete. "From now on, you will serve me, and only me. Got it?" He asked.
Pete didn't hesitate and immediately dropped to his knees and bowed. "Y-yes your most evilness, your m-most evil-, your majesty!" He said as he bowed rapidly, hopefully, to save his hide. The lich then turned his back and into the cauldron.
"You said that the fairy had some followers, yes?" He asked.
"Yes sir!" Pete said.
The Horned King turned around to face him. "Go off into some worlds and bring me back some suggestions." He said.
"Y-yes your majesty!" Pete asked as he then opened up a dark corridor and disappeared right into it. When he left, the Creeper went right up to his master.
"Sire, what do you make of all of this?" He asked. "Are you even certain that that cat is trustworthy?"
The Horned King didn't look at him, just into the cauldron. "A keyblade wielder fought against Arawn….but alas, it was a long time ago." He said, making Creeper look intrigued. "I was fortunate enough to engage in another battle…but that was back when we were both younger. I normally don't talk about my enemies…but he was a worthy adversary." He said.
"Who sire?" Creeper asked. But the lich didn't answer…rather he was thinking about this man. "I wonder…" He thought.
Then Pete entered through a dark corridor, making Creeper and the Horned King look.
"Huh, that was pretty fast…" Creeper muttered.
"Your majesty!" Pete said, still shaking. "I have been to many worlds…well not really, but I had visited some of the worlds before I got here and I just remembered that I wrote down a list. Here you go." He said.
The Horned King walked over and grabbed the list from the cat's hands. He glazed over it and kept his eyes on it. After what seemed to be 10 minutes he placed the list to his side. "Interesting," He said as he looked up at Pete. "I guess you are not so useless…but if you dare try to betray me…"
"I won't!" Pete said as he put his hand up. "I promise, I'll be the best minion ever!" He said with a grin, it was mainly out of fear though.
The Horned King then went to the middle of the room. "I shall return shortly." He said as he snapped his fingers and vanished in dark red flames. Leaving Pete and Creeper alone.
Olympus Coliseum/Underworld
In another world, there was a place down below, a very horrid place where only the souls of the Dean wander….the Underworld! And the ruler of this desolate place?
The ruler was a humanoid figure with blue-gray skin, with flaming blue hair. His attire was a gray robe with a smokey base. This dark figure was Hades, God of the Underworld. Hades was not a very happy god, because he resented the fact that his brother, Zeus, was ruler of Mount Olympus. And he made it his goal to overthrow Zeus and conquer Olympus…but every attempt he has made has failed.
"Ahh…Hercules." Hades said as he paced back and forth. "Hero to the people of Greece, always there for you, and handsome to boot. He is just so..perfect." The god said, but then he got mad. "Perfectly INFURIATING!" When he yelled, his skin turned red-orange and his hair turned into a fury red. "HE MAKES ME SO MAD!" He yelled as a column of fire burst out of his head and made a hole in the roof.
He then looked up and sighed. "Great…" He said as he turned back to normal. "Now I gotta get that fixed…can this day get any worse?"
"I assure you, it doesn't have to." A sinister voice said from nowhere, making the god look around.
"Huh? Who's that?" Hades asked as he married shi eyes. "This better not be some sort of parlor trick! Because I'm not in the mod for-
BOOM
Hades then turned to see a column of red flames appear right by the entrance to his lair, and when the flames vanished, there stood the Horned King in all his undead might. At the sight of him, Hades was not intimidated in the slightest, in fact…he seemed a bit confused.
"Huh? And who are you?" Hades asked. "You look dead…but at the same time, you don't seem to be." He wondered as he tilted his head in confusion.
"I cast away my soul a long time ago." the Horned King said to him. "I am simply known as…The Horned King." He said. "And I presume…that you are the lord of the dead here?"
Hades smirked. "Yep, that's me, Hades, lord of the dead, nice to meet you. So..what does a weird…corpse monarch want with someone as handsome as me?" He asked
The Horned King simply looked at him. "Are you familiar with Heartless?" He asked
When he said that, Hade's smirk turned into a scowl. "Wait a minute buster, are you with that Maleficent chick?" He then went to sit on his throne. "Because I already tried and didn't work, so if you are with her… you can go back to whatever decrypt castle you came from."
The Horned King's eyes turned red and glared. "I'll let you know that Maleficent is out of the picture." He said.
Hades then raised his non-existent eyebrow with curiosity, Maleficent died again? Huh…how did she think? Then he took a glance again… there was just something about this that spoke something to him. "Well…if she is out of the picture…what is this about Heartless?" He asked. "Oh and do come sit down, why don't you?" He asked as he then conjured up some drinks. The Horned King made his way towards the char sitting across from Hades and took a seat.
"I remember…when I was still young." the lich said. "My lord and I fought against two wielders of the Keyblade….and the fat cat called Pete broke into my castle…and he piqued my interest…it was only after Maleficent gave me this power to control the Heartless, is when I…took care of her, to say the least." He said as his eyes glowed red for a moment.
Hades's eyes widened for a bit before he smirked as he placed the cup to his lips. "Really? Interesting…" He said as he took a sip. "I knew that she was powerful…but you must be something else if you were able to take her down."
The Horned King simply lowered his glass. "I wish to be a God amongst men." He said, taking Hades by surprise. "And I require some help in doing it."
Hades then smirked. "And you need me and the Heartless to do huh?" He asked. "And what's in it for me?"
The Horned King took his glass again. "I am planning to build an army of undead warriors that will do as I say. You help me, and I will lend you some of them. And you will be unmatched." He said.
When he said that, the thought came into Hades' mind. Sure he had the Titans..but they always got beaten, and they will soon be released again. But the thought of strong undead warriors? To help him overthrow Zeus? It sounded very interesting.
Hades then took his glass and raised it towards the undead lich who did the same. "Horned King, let this be the beginning of a great, evil partnership." He said as the two glasses clicked.
Dark Castle
Pete and Creeper were standing around, waiting for something to happen. Pete and the little goblin creature didn't say anything to each other since their boss left…and it was sort of weird.
Pete looked at him and was thinking. "Ok, Pete…what are you going to say? Sure you just lost Maleficent…and are now stuck working with some undead monarch." He sweated about those. These events playing right now were NOT what he had planned for today. This is so uncomfortable.
BOOM
A big bang appeared and Pete and Creeper were blown back by the blast, when the smoke vanished, there stood the Horned King, alongside Hades, both of them standing together. Hades took a look around. "Hmm, not a bad place." He said with a small frown. "I mean you could have cleaned up a bit more but whatever."
As soon as Pete saw Hades, he then began to shake a bit. "Oh no, not him!" He thought with worry. Creeper, being a somewhat fearless fool, went right up to him.
"Hey, you dare insult the king's castle? Creeper will show you respect!" the goblin said as he then put his fists up, getting ready to fight. However, he was then immediately grabbed by Hades, who held him by the throat.
Hades was not too impressed as he used his strength to choke Creeper. "What are you supposed to be? Some little troll thing? And trying to fight me? Well, let me explain something to you buddy." His hair then ignited further as he stared right into the goblin's eyes. "Cross me…and I will see to it that I make you suffer to your very last breath." He whispered those lines with such venom and calmness.
Creepers gulped nervously and sweated, not just from the nerves, but from the heat as well. "R-right, sir!" He said as Hades dropped him and Creeper went scurrying off somewhere.
Hades calmed down a bit and turned to the undead lich. "You should keep your lackeys on a leash." He said the Horned King didn't say anything and he went to the cauldron, with Hades following him. He then got a glimpse of Pete and rolled his eyes. "Oh great, you're here too?" He asked.
"Not by choice!" Pete said with fright. Hades rolled his eyes and continued.
"So, this is this mystical cauldron thing?" Hades asked.
"Yes…" the Horned King said to him. "With the Black Cauldron, I shall use its dark powers to raise my army of Cauldron Born! But I need some help first…I need the darkest figures, figures whose darkness will power the cauldron and make my army unstoppable!" He said.
Hades smirked. "Well, well, well. Now we're getting somewhere, huh?" He asked and chuckled. "And I guess you're going to be bringing a group together, just like what the hot witch babe did?" He asked.
"Yes." the Horned King said as he then grabbed Maleficent's cloak and placed it in the cauldron, as well as the list that Pete gave him. "I call upon the darkest figures from many worlds!" He said. "I summon them all in hopes that I can conquer all!" He said
The cauldron started to rattle and shake, and it began to glow. Soon after a few minutes a red-like beam of flames emerged and shot out of it like a geyser. Pete and Creeper hid behind a column for safety while Hades smirked.
"Hmm, impressive." The god said as the flames of the Cauldron then began to swirl and many different beams had landed right in front of both the Horned King and Hades, and the beams had brought in a bunch of figures standing before them both.
One figure was a dark-skinned man with a thin mustache, purple eyes, and a gap between his two front teeth. His attire consisted of a black top hat with a red band, a purple feather was shown on it, and a skull and crossbones on the hat as well. Across his neck was a necklace that had two crocodile teeth on it. He was wearing a dark maroon undertaker tailcoat and black pants, white spats over black shoes, a purple vest that didn't cover his mid chest and red cummerbund. In his hand was a black cane with a purple globe on it. This man was named Dr. Faciliar, an evil witch doctor from New Orleans.
The second figure was a thin man with long back hair, a large hooked nose, and a thin, black handlebar mustache that angled slightly upwards, and a sharp chin. His outfit consisted of a frilly white cravat underneath a red coat that had gold lining and red cuffs that had gold cufflinks. Underneath his coat, he wore a pink turtleneck with white frills on each sleeve. There was an orange sash that was worn over his right shoulder that carried his sword scabbard on his left hip. His pants were rose-colored and wore knee-high socks with black boots with a pink circle decorating over them. The tongues on his boots were huge, almost reaching halfway to his shins. On his head was a large crimson hat that had a huge lavender feather stuck in it. In his scabbard was a rapier with a gold hilt and guard. And finally he had a silver hook on his left hand. This figure was Captain James Hook, the pirate captain from Neverland.
The third figure was an older woman whose attire consisted of a black and purple long dress with an indigo feather-like wig on her head, blue earrings, and a frilled purple collar. She also wore black sandals and red nail polish on her long fingernails. This woman simply goes by the name of Yzma, a mad scientist from an empire.
The fourth figure was an aging man with a wrinkled care-worn face and thinning white hair. His attire consisted of a black and purple robe, a purple jumpsuit, a purple and black striped tricorn hat with a red tassel attached to the bottom, and black shoulder pads with red stripes on them. The insides of the shoulder pads were purple, and he wore two rings on his right finger and one ring on his left finger, with the jewels being blue, red, and green colored. This was Judge Claude Frollo, the minister and high judge from Paris.
The fifth figure was a short and overweight woman with pale skin, lavender hair, and green eyes. Her attire consisted of an indigo shirt with dark magenta sleeves, a magenta skirt, and violet shoes. This witch was known as Madam Mim, a witch who has an old rivalry with the wizard Merlin.
The sixth figure was a young man who had fair skin, light freckles, blue eyes, and a barreled chest. His hair was red and it extended right up with a widow's peak that looked like flames. His attire consisted of a black suit with a big white 'S' on the chest, white gloves, and boots, and it also adorned a cape. This was Buddy Pines, or better known as Syndrome.
The seventh figure was a tall and obese man with long black hair that was tied in two short pigtails with red ribbons, thick eyebrows, and lavender eyelids. His attire consisted of a rose-colored long-sleeved shirt with a long V-cut neckline under a magenta-purple-colored coat with a lavender collar and cuffs. He also had black linings on the chest and waistline, and he wore a magenta-purple colonial hat with a blue feather on its black band and a turquoise medallion around his neck. He also wore magenta-purple knee-length pants, lavender calf-high socks, black colonial boots, and a red cape to top off. This was John Ratcliff, a governor from Britain.
The eight figure was a spider-like creature with long gray hair, large, yellow eyes that had star-like pupils, two large white fangs, and a lower jaw that had slim red fangs. His body had six slender legs that grew from his abdomen with a black shell and red underbelly and no cephalothorax. On the tip of his legs there were red things spikes, he had red scorpion-like claws and a tethered purple jacket. This was Scroop, a dangerous pirate.
The ninth figure was a lizard/gecko-like creature with purple skin, 3 fronds with pink tips, green eyes which were hard due to him squinting, 4 arms and legs, and a sky-blue tail. This was Randall Boggs, a monster from Monstropolis, a world where only monsters lived.
The tenth and final figure was an anthropomorphic towing rat with gray fur, and dressed in a black tuxedo suit, complete with a black cape with a red underside. His face was shown to be shaven, with yellow eyes with lavender circles around them, thick eyebrows, a large nose, and a long pink tail. He also wore a top hat and his suit consisted of a high white collar and a dark gray vest with buttons on it with a pink-and-purple striped cravat. There were white gloves on his hands and cuffs of gold. This was Professor Padraic Ratigan, a cunning rat from Mousedom.
The villains summoned suddenly took a look at the place, wondering just how they managed to get here? "Huh?" Bogg asked. "Where am i?" He asked.
"This doesn't look like New Orleans." Facilier said, and the others made the same claim to their own homes.
"I summoned you here.'' They all turned to see the Horned King and Hades stand before them all, Hades with a smoke and the Horned King with his usual scary look.
Frollo gasped. "Demons!" He said in shock.
Hades smirked. "Well….not quite." He said. "Anyway let me introduce myself, everybody, name's Hades: Lord of the Dead, how are you doing?" He asked them, but when he mentioned who he ws, they all gasped.
"L-lord of the dead?" Ratcliff asked with a hint of fear.
"Wait a minute…I remember you!" Hook said as he pointed his hook at him. "You and I are on the same side with Maleficent!" He said. "What are you doing here?"
Hades smiled at the pirate. "Ah, Hook, such a pleasant surprise to see you again….NOT!" He said that last part loudly and with a laugh. "But enough about me, my colleague wants to say something. Take it away, horned guy!"
The Horned King walked close to them all, they were a bit nervous though, something about the undead monarch made them worry a bit. Even Scroop, who was shown not to fear anybody, was shaking a bit. "I have summoned you all here for a purpose." He said to them as everyone looked at him, and despite many of them showing courageous looks, they were easily terrified of the undead monarch. "How many of you wish to have whatever you wished? Money, fame… power? He asked them all. This got them to be somewhat intrigued. "If you help me in my conquest…I will ensure that you all get whatever your hearts wish and want." He said.
The villains in the room thought it over, most of them did want what they wished. For Gaston, he could finally have the lovely Belle as his wife, or for Frollo, he could finally see the eradication of all the Gypsies of Paris.
"If you don't mind me asking," Syndrome asked. "And please don't mind….but what is your goal?" He asked.
The Horned King's eyes glowed red. "To become a god amongst men." He said, chilling everyone in the room. "As you see, I have cast aside my soul and heart long ago…but I want to be so much more than what I am now. For that, that is why you all shall be working for me. Do that…and I will ensure that you get what you wish." He said to them all.
The villains thought it over once again, now normally they would refuse, but being as where they were in the presence of two demon-like beasts…was there any other choice? They all then agreed and slightly bowed before the Horned King."
"Alright!" Hades said, pumping his fist in the air. "Oh, and by the way, have we got something special for you all." He said as he turned to the horned LKing. "Take it away Kingy."
The undead lich ignored his word and he then raised his hand, which was giving off dark mist, and pointed it to the villains. "I grant every one of you the power to control creatures who will aid you. I give you the power…control the Heartless!" He said as the villains were coated in dark auras. "Now I shall return to your worlds until I need you again ... .and don't you think of betraying me…or else." He said as he snapped his fingers and all the villains present (except for Hades) all vanished back to their worlds. The horned King then looked at Pete. "Pete! I have done a bit of thinking…and you will need some more help if you are to prove your use to me."
Pete then went wide-eyed. "Really? Well..if you're sure." His eyes then married. "I think I know just who to call for help." He muttered as he then opened up a dark corridor and made his way towards it, but not before turning his back on his new master. "Don't worry, I'll get me the best group of boys ever!" He said as he went through.
After that, the Horned King went over to The Black Cauldron and an image appeared. Hades went over to look at him with confusion. "So what now?"
The Horned King looked at him. "We need to get a certain elder out of our way if we are to plunge the worlds in darkness to rule over…an elder keyblade master who fought against Arawn ... .Master Yen Sid." He said with his eyes glowing red.
Wow...so there we go, I hope you all are benign to get excited because this is one story i am so looking forward to writing.
Now the Horned King is one of Disney's most underrated villains, if the Black Cauldron didn't bomb so badly, there is no doubt that he would be one of the primary Disney Villains standing alongside Maleficent, Hades, Evil Queen etc, etc.
More villains will appear but they will not be part of the Horned King's Inner Circle, they will be independent like how Clayton and Shan-Yu were. Also, Pete will get a gang all of his own, but I won't reveal them till the next chapter.
Anyways, hope you are as excited as I am :)
Don't forget to read and review, I'm always happy to hear from you guys and happy to answer any questions you have.
See you all next time :)
