Chapter 7: A Break between Lanes
(I don't fricken care, I enjoyed Rollo. He was a great character and I will pay money to get him. And by that, reaching pity. I will get him if it is the last thing I do! I also wonder how Sora and Riku would react to him because I can't imagine that going well. Also, yes, I want Sora to show up in Twisted Wonderland. THROW THE SUNSHINE BOY INTO THIS NIGHTMARE! Enjoy!)
"Henchman! Henchman! Wake up!" Grim's loud voice echoed around her as she blinked a couple of times.
She then sat up and shook herself awake to look at their surroundings. She was surprised to find herself and Grim in an entirely different place. This place did look familiar to her, but it was something out of a cartoon. In the distance was a very colorful town and cheerful music was playing in the background as well.
"Where are we?" Yuu asked as she glanced to Grim.
"I don't know, but I wasn't going to leave you. We need to stick together, henchman!" Grim answered with pride as he stood tall.
"Admit that you were too afraid to go off by yourself" Yuu said with a smile before patting his head, "You know, there is no shame in admitting that"
Grim grumbled, but he was relieved to hear that. He then climbed on her arm and sat on her shoulder, ready to explore the place before them. Though, they saw something flash in the sky as they gazed up.
"You saw that too, right?" Yuu asked as she held her hand over her eyes and gazed up.
"I think so, but what was that?" Grim wondered as he climbed on Yuu's head to get a better look at the sky.
They squinted their eyes to get a better look at the sky and could see something coming towards them. They heard someone screaming and the person in question was falling towards them! They let out a scream before turning to take cover. Grim jumped from Yuu's head to run with Yuu following him.
"I should've taken the Gummi ship!" Sora yelled as he found himself falling and holding the king's star charm.
He let out a yell before falling on top of Yuu! They let out a groan as they laid on the ground, not even bothering to move. Grim was relieved that he wasn't crushed underneath the person, but he jumped to help Yuu.
"Hey! What are you doing to my hench human?! Get off her!" Grim shouted as he prepared to breath fire.
"Grim! I am still here! Don't breath fire!" Yuu shouted as she struggled to move, "Please get off me!"
"Ah! I'm sorry!" Sora exclaimed as he rolled off her and sat on the floor to face her with a grin, "Are you ok? I am sorry about that. I am not used to this device yet, but the king used it. I am sure I will soon enough! Oh, right! My name is Sora! Who are you two?"
Yuu looked up at the bright boy with Grim running to sit in front of her protectively. She knew he was not from here since he fell from the sky. She found it a coincidence that his name meant the sky. She didn't sense anything harmful from him, but he reminded her of Kalim and other students who could use light magic. Except for Rook at times.
"I'm Yuuaka, but everyone calls me Yuu. This is Grim" she said as she felt some trust with him, "We are not from here as you can clearly see, but where are we?"
Sora nodded his head before turning to the town to answer, "This is Disney town which leads to Disney castle. That's where King Mickey lives"
Yuu and Grim jumped at that name and even shouted, startling Sora. Sora shook his head to then tilt it to the side to look at them.
"Do you know him? Are you are you the friend he was talking about?!" Sora asked excitedly.
"Mickey's looking for me?" Yuu asked in relief as Sora nodded his head.
"Yes! He sent us to find you and your friends! I am guessing you're not from here, right?" Sora asked with a nod of his head, "My friends are the ones searching for yours, so you don't have to worry about them! You'll be together soon enough and back in your world before you know it!"
Yuu was a little relieved by this, but Gim wasn't sure about that.
"No, I don't think that will end well knowing them" Grim grumbled as Sora turned to him, "They'll probably start a few fights before agreeing to even work with each other"
Sora was surprised and a little dismayed by that, but he did recall the fights he had with his friends.
"Yeah, I can see some of my friends fighting them too" Sora admitted with a nervous laugh, "But I am sure they'll be able to find a way to work together!"
Grim groaned at Sora's optimism in their friends while Yuu shook her head. This was a nice change of pace from the usual she was used to. Sora stood up and then held his hand out to her.
"Well, why don't we go and see the king? I am sure he would be happy to know that his friend is safe! Then, we can head to Radiant Garden to meet up with others" Sora suggested to her.
Yuu smiled before taking Sora's hand to have him help her up. They shared a grin of understanding as Grim jumped to climb on Yuu's shoulder and then sit on her head. Sora put his hands behind his head and smiled at them.
"So, is that your Dream Eater?" Sora asked as they walked through the lively town.
"Hey! I am Grim! Simple as that!" Grim answered firmly as he glared at the keyblade wielder.
Sora laughed in agreement as they made their way to the giant white castle in the distance. Little did they know, Isa was already in the castle. Even had decided to send one sane and smart person to the source of the issue.
"Thank you for coming, Isa!" Goofy said with a grin as the captain of the guard marched through the grand, white hallways of the castle.
"It was the smartest choice among us" Isa confessed as he kept himself guarded, "So, is the mirror acting up and causing harm?"
"Not as far as we know" Goofy answered as they pushed the great, golden doors open and found Donald talking with Scrooge and the royal couple before the giant cracked mirror.
They were discussing what they should do about the mirror.
"Maybe we should ask Master Yen Sid how to seal it?" Queen Minnie asked curiously.
"I don't want to leave my friend alone. She is still trying to find a way home" King Mickey answered his wife in an unsure manner, "But even so, I am not sure what to do to even solve this"
He turned to the doors and was relieved to see Goofy and Isa entering the throne room.
"Hiya everyone!" Goofy greeted with a warm smile and wave of his hand, "I was able to get someone to help us!"
He gestured to Isa who simply nodded at the couple and family.
"Nice to see you again, Isa! Thank you for coming here!" King Mickey greeted as he approached him, "But are you sure about this? This will not be easy"
"I believe it would be best if I be the one to handle this" Isa answered calmly, "The rest already jumped at the chance to encounter another person from another world. They didn't even bother to hear anything else from Even"
Scrooge sighed with a shake of his head with Donald grumbling at this. Isa faced the mirror and wondered what was beyond it. He had a feeling that he would have to cross it on his own.
"Is it possible that I could travel through it?" Isa asked them as he only stared at the mirror.
Donald jumped at the suggestion with Scrooge pointing out with his cane, "I am sorry, but are you crazy?! This will be dangerous alone! You shouldn't have to go alone! Let one of us come with you at least! Also, there is no way I am leaving one of my businesses in the hands of your partner. Happy for you, but he's an idiot at times"
Isa couldn't argue with Scrooge about Lea's tendency to be cause trouble, but he disagreed with the idea of sending him with someone.
"The rest of the keyblade wielders are busy with finding those who fell from the mirror" Isa explained, "And the former Organization 13 is working to make sure the keyblade wielders are informed of this. No need to add another task on them. Besides, if we are going to meet someone on the other side, it should be cautious and willing to work with others. I know Sora is a potential candidate, but he should be here in case the worlds need his aid as usual"
Isa was right with his statement as King Mickey decided to summon his Kingdom Key D and stand beside the claymore wielder.
"Do you have your Gummi Phone?" the king asked seriously.
"I do, but we are unsure if communication will be possible" Isa stated with a nod of his head.
"I am aware, but if it does work, that would be helpful" the king reminded him, "And you may be stuck there for a while. I am not sure how long it will be until we can bring you back. Are you ready, Isa?"
An adventure to help his partner and their friends that involve him handling the toughest task? He couldn't help but agree.
"Yes, I am" Isa reassured the king with confidence before approaching the mirror.
King Mickey gathered light to the tip of his blade and raised it at the mirror. The mirror shined a bright light with some darkness bursting from it. Isa held a serious expression before glancing at the king. The king waved the keyblade upward to unlock the mirror's keyhole and creating a shaky path of light.
"Go now, Isa!" the king urged as Isa nodded and ran on the path.
The path was appearing and disappearing with each step Isa took. He jumped through the keyhole and mirror as the light and darkness burst from the mirror! The light and darkness whipped around violently, but Queen Minnie stepped in the center of the room. She clasped her hands together to then waved her hands upward to create a powerful healing wave to calm the raging light and darkness.
"Mickey! Now!" she urged her husband.
The king jumped high before slamming the keyblade into the floor to unleash a calming wave of light over the entire room! The spell was able to heal and restore the damages done to the room before covering the mirror and creating a seal over it. The royal couple stared at the mirror and found it cracking and light and dark magic dripping from it. They hoped Isa was safe on the other side of the mirror.
"Hello everyone!" Sora greeted as he, Yuu, and Grim entered the throne room, "Is everything ok?"
"Sora!" Donald and Goofy shouted in delight as they ran to embrace him.
Yuu looked around until her eyes fell on Mickey. Grim's jaw dropped as she smiled and approached the king and his queen.
"Hello Mickey" Yuu greeted with Grim waving his paws.
"Yuu! Grim! You're ok!" Mickey said in relief, "And I see you found Sora! He's a good friend of mine"
She agreed before gazing up to see the mirror. The king and queen turned to the mirror and nodded at her.
"Yes, that's the mirror I've been using to communicate with you from my home. However, it acted up a few nights ago. I had Donald and Goofy bring it to the castle for safety. We are trying to understand this, but we were able to send Isa through the mirror. We don't know if we will be able to hear from him, but we at least have someone there" the king explained which caused Sora to jump at the mention of Isa.
"You sent Isa?! Are you sure about that?" Sora asked as he turned to them.
"Truth be told, I wanted him to go with someone, but he made a point. Everyone was already handling tasks here and trying to find the other who fell through the mirror. Isa insisted that he go on his own" King Mickey informed Sora.
Sora crossed his arms over his chest before tilting his head from side-to-side. While he knew Isa could take care of himself, he didn't like the idea of a friend leaving by himself.
"If he arrived at Twisted Wonderland's Night Raven College, then he should be fine" Yuu reassured as she noticed Sora's worries, "The teachers should still be present and struggling to comprehend the situation. In a way, since your friend is there, that should help them"
"Really?" Sora asked in relief.
"In a sense" Yuu said as she was reminded of Crowley, but she knew Professor Trein was present.
While Sora was relieved, Yuu wondered how the teachers would react to seeing another person not from Twisted Wonderland. Though, with how the school year is going, this would be tame.
"So, do you want us to look at the mirror, your majesty?" Sora asked as he put his hands behind his head.
"No. I still want you to take Yuu, Grim, and their friends to Radiant Garden" King Mickey informed them, "We need to count how many of their friends are here and worked together to send them back to their respective world"
Sora nodded his head with Yuu thanking the king. Sora, Yuu, and Grim left the throne room and decided to depart in the garden. Sora held the star in his hand as he tried to understand it as well as make it safe for Yuu and Grim to use when they travel. He was distracted with it while Yuu and Grim were looking at the garden with interest.
"Maybe if I mess with this" Sora wondered as he failed to notice something lurking in the shadows.
However, Yuu recognized it and turned her attention to Sora to see a shadow moving!
"Sora! Move!" Yuu shouted as she roughly pushed Sora away just in time.
The shadow jumped from the darkness to strike Yuu!
"Yuu!/Hench human!" Sora and Grim shouted before Sora summoned his Kingdom Key and rushed to deliver a few quick strikes to cut the shadow into pieces.
He was panting before turning to Yuu who was laying on the ground. Her eyes were wide, but she was fine. Sora and Grim looked over her with concern, but she sat up and looked over herself.
"I am fine" she confessed, completely in disbelief, "I am not sure why though. Perhaps it is because of my time in Twisted Wonderland"
She smiled at them with Grim commenting as he jumped to embrace her, "Geez! Don't scare me! That is not funny!"
As for Sora, he was worried. That was unusual. He didn't even sense the darkness coming. How did that darkness do that? He also wondered why Yuu was fine. It is true that she wasn't from this world, but he believed there was something more to it than that. Although he didn't understand it, he was sure one of his friends could!
"Well, you're ok and that's all that matters! Come on! We're going to another world, so please hang on tight!" Sora said as he grabbed the star and used his magic to teleport them to Radiant Garden!
Though, all three of them were screaming as the star bounced from side-to-side with sparks bursting from it. Needless to say, it was a bumpy ride for them until they reached their new destination.
"Crowley! We cannot hold off the media for long!" Trein spoke seriously as they were standing in the center of the empty mirror chamber with the other teachers.
The headmaster was pacing around the chamber, completely unsure of what to do about this predicament. He wasn't even sure of how he was going to find the students! The rest of the teachers could tell that the headmaster wasn't sure what to do either.
"Perhaps we need another approach to the matter" Crewel suggested unsure with his baton at his side.
Before one of them could say anything about this, they heard footsteps approaching them.
"Ah, so the students at Night Raven College are nowhere to be found. How tragic" a student's voice spoke that Trein recognized.
"Rollo?! What are you doing here?!" the professor asked as he turned to see the student from Noble Bell college.
Rollo is a 3rd year from the school and has a history with the students at Night Raven College. He has a with a single, red fabric falling from it. He is wearing a fancy black, red, and violet out that resembled a priest would wear. He has many scarves hanging from his outfit. He has white stockings and black shoes. he has white hair and pale, blue eyes. His skin was pale and has a red ring on his right hand.
"I was asked to come by your students" Rollo answered with a nod of his head, "And now I've told that they've disappeared? How unfortunate"
Though, he did hold a grin until they heard a stampede of footsteps approaching them. They turned to see seven, small fae running towards them. They each had a different color hair and strong personality with them. They were wearing their own uniforms from Royal Sword.
"And who are you?" Rollo asked as he took a handkerchief and gazed at them.
"Can it, purple tree!" the one with red hair snapped, "We've got bigger problems than that! Neige is missing!"
This alarmed the teachers while Rollo turned away from, hoping they wouldn't recognize him if Neige did discuss what happened at the masquerade. He decided to focus on the mirror before him and noticed the cracks. He sighed as he wondered how those students could even do such a thing to it.
"What happened to Neige?" Crewel asked surprised.
"Let us explain" Dominic, the fae with glasses and beige hair, spoke softly, "Neige wanted to arrive a little earlier than us, because he wanted to meet with Vil and Rook. In fact, Chenya went with him as well, because he wanted to see his two friends. We were going to meet with them, but they never showed up nor answered their phones"
This was concerning since the teachers were unaware of this. Rollo rolled his eyes at them. Even the staff at Night Raven College was irresponsible as the students. Rollo looked at the mirror closely before it shined!
"Rollo! Get away from the mirror!" Trein shouted urgently as Rollo summoned his staff for protection and prepared himself.
Isa let out a yell as he found himself falling through the mirror and landed on his feet. He held his head with his right hand before looking at the area around himself. He noticed that he was in an entirely different world. Now, he has to find someone to talk with about this world. His eyes fell on Rollo who was holding his staff in front of himself.
"You" Isa spoke as he faced him, "I want to talk with you"
However, Crewel and Trein pulled Rollo behind them as they held their magic pens and faced Isa.
"I do not think so!" Crewel growled as he prepared a spell.
"And who are you? Why are you here?" Trein demanded as Isa held his hands up as a form of surrender to them.
Isa realized that they were tense and worried about everything that had happened. He closed his eyes and nodded to them.
"My name is Isa" he introduced and explained the situation to them.
The teachers were stunned to hear this, but some of them had a feeling this might've been in the case since they were caring over Yuu.
"So, where are they?" Trein asked as he lowered his pen.
"Right now, my friends are searching for your students. They are searching through other worlds and are finding a way to return them here" Isa answered, "I came through the mirror to find their world. Now that I have, I need the help of someone who has a strong tie to them. I believe that is him"
Isa gestured to Rollo who seemed appalled by this statement. Rollo had no intention of helping those foolish students who had ruined his plans!
"Rollo, can you do this?" Trein asked in relief, "You can help bring our students back?"
"Ah, well, I suppose I can" Rollo said hesitantly while holding a handkerchief to his face in annoyance.
"There is a connection you have with them, whether you like that or not" Isa stated as he stared at Rollo, "And that connection is going to help us. Are you ready to help us, Rollo?"
As much as Rollo was disgusted by this, he knew he couldn't turn down Trein's request he supposed.
Isa whispered, "I am surprised that you didn't realize something obvious. If you help them, they will have to owe you something"
Rollo eyed Isa with interest as Isa turned away from him to face the mirror. Rollo held his staff and pointed it at the mirror with a nod of his head.
"Very well" Rollo said as he put his handkerchief away and held a smirk, "I shall bring them home with my magic!"
