KH AfterMath: Escape from the Boiling Isles Ch.1
, In the sky, the Gummi ship comes flying into the new world with Sora, Donald and Goofy on a new mission. Sora piloting asks, “So is this the place?” Goofy complies, “Yep, looks like it! Lot of a weird white mountains and red trees.” But as they kept getting closer, they notice something from their birds eye view of the land as Donald exclaims, “Sora, the entire land, it’s shaped like a fallen-“ Sora finishes his sentence, “giant…” *Title sequence* a silhouette of a owl flies above a cut out of a forest and when the owl is gone, the forest cut out forms a body with legs, arms and a head all laid out, with mountains and a red forest forming all over the body. Words form over as if boiling lava spelling the word “Boiling Isles”. As they landed, they got off by foot and walked to a near by town. Sora exhales going, “Welp, here we go again.” Donald complains, “You already said that before.” Sora laughs, “Ha sorry, I guess I’m just worried and trying to keep my cool.” Goofy cheers him up, “I’m sure we’ll find them Sora, they’re just as strong as you so they should be A ok.” Sora smiles at that thought, “Yeah, of course…I just wish they told me before.” Sora remembers back before entering this world, they visited the Mysteries Tower after locking a Keyhole in Amphibia, preventing anymore Heartless from harming that world. Before they do the same for the Boiling Isles, they presented them selves to Master Yen-Sid with Goofy carrying something on his back. Sora asks the sorcerer. “Master Yen-Sid with all due respect…what were you thinking?!” Donald panics. “Sora!” Sora apologizes of course, “ Sorry, sorry but I just want to know why would you let them go off like that? It took us a while to get them free and now they’re all caught again!” Yen-Sid rests his eyes and calmly says, “I can understand that you're frustrated Sora since you care about them as your friends. But it was their decision and they wished to repay you for everything you’ve done.” Goofy asks, “Dale mentioned they’re trapped in a place called the Boiling Isles?” Yen-Sid answers,“Yes, I’m familiar with that area. A witch who lives there contacted me about their capture.” Sora asks, ‘A witch?” Just as Donald asked too, “You mean like Maleficent, Master Yen-Sid?” Yen-Sid, who had an unsure look while rubbing the back of his head goes, “Well yes, but a good witch…of sorts” Sora, with a peculiar look asks, “So we can trust her?” He answers, “Yes. Edalyn Clawthorne, the Owl Lady. Find her and she’ll help you find your friends.” In a hurry, Sora goes, “Right let’s get going.” But Goofy stops him saying, “Wait Sora, the other thing!” Sora remembered to saying, “Oh right, Goofy, show him the thing!” Goofy reveals the large item from his back to be a blank doll. Almost surprised, Yen-Sid exclaims, “A replica?” Sora explains, “We fought against this in Amphibia and we have no idea who made it? We thought the guys at Radiant Garden could take a look at it” Yen-Sid strokes his beard and worryingly says, “This is troubling news, I’ll have them study this and find the source. Chirithy.” At the right side of the room from Sora, Chirithy, the Dream Eater enters the room as she answers, “You called Master Yen-Sid?” In joy, Sora kneels down and hugs her, “Chirithy! It’s good to see you again! What are you doing here?” Yen-Sids explains, “She came with the others when they visited and then she stayed here while they went to the Boiling Isles. She’ll let Ienzo and others know while you go on ahead.” He lets go of Chirithy and stands up, “Sure, see you later.” But Chirithy grabs one of his legs and screams, “Wait Sora! There’s something important you need to know!” Sora almost loses his balance and asks, “Oh sure, what is it?” Chirithy lets go of him but was hesitant to answer, “I…I can’t tell you right now, only when you finish dealing with the Heartless in that world, then I’ll tell you.” Sora was confused but in a hurry says, “Um OK, can’t wait to hear it, see ya!” While they leave, Chirithy looks down with a sad look as Yen-Sid, with concern, asks, “Is it really wise to tell him?” She sadly answers, “He needs to know….even if it doesn’t feel like he’s made a difference, he still needs to know.” Back to the present in the Boiling Isles, the three heroes enter the town of Bonesborough. While they walked around, they noticed all the strange and weird citizens resembling monsters from old legends. Luckily they don’t mean any harm when they notice the out siders. Sora says in comparison, “This place is about as creepy as Halloween Town, awesome.” Donald complains, “Gah, you have weird taste you know that.” But Goofy saw something stranger than the citizens as he says, “Hey fellas, did you all noticed we didn’t see any Heartless anywhere?” Sora looks around and says, “Yeah your right Goofy, maybe we can ask someone if anyone seen them.” They look at any citizen and noticed a small boy near the playground and Goofy asks, “Excuse me little boy, have you seen any Heartless?” As the little boy turns around, he turns out be a monster with no eyes and only razor sharp teeth covering his face as he says with a deep voice. “I don’t know what’s a Heartless, I’m just a kid.” They all panic as Donald screams, “Wah! Monster!” They all get their weapons out and the little monster looks around screaming too, “Monsters? Where? I’m scared of monsters! waaah” The little creature cries, even though it sounds more like a roar as he runs away. Soon all the citizens noticed the boy screaming and saw who scared him. A old woman with a large nose and hoodie exclaims, “Oh me oh my! Those bullies scared poor little Braxzes!” Another with three eyes noticed what Sora was holding as he screams. “It’s a Razor Locker! Run, they’ll bring the Inchies!” Soon everyone starts panicking and screaming too as they all run away while the three outsiders look bewildered as Sora said, “Razor Lockers?” and Goofy scratching his head going, “The Inchies?” Soon, foot soldiers with pointed masks start flooding into the town square with swords and were ready to fight the heroes. One of them goes, “Capture the Razor Locker, along with his hideous minions” Donald in offense says, “Hey! We’re not hideous” The other soldier say, “So you admit you're just minions! Fine, let’s capture the plain looking minions! For the Emperor!” *Mini-boss battle* The fight starts off with the soldiers as they wave their swords around. The fight wasn’t all that tough as Donald beats them with his magic, Goofy knocking them out with his shield and Sora just doing what he does best as an unstoppable hero. Once it was over, the soldiers started to retreat. Sora looking kind of bored goes, “Oh over already? Well, that was quick” But Donald warns him, “Don’t get over confident! Look!” Soon more soldiers came, but this time, they wore white cloaks and were ready to take their turn. Sora, who was eager goes, “All right, time for round two” But just as he was about to fight, one of the white cloaked soldiers had a crossbow and was aiming at Sora. As he shoots, the object was shot. But it was no arrow, but a collar like projectile, which was getting closer to Sora without him knowing it. But luckily an ice spell spike grew from a parchment on the ground and hits the projectile, shattering in two. The one who shot it goes, “Dang! That was the last one, we don’t have anymore more of those” Sora noticed the object and tells Donald, “Thanks, that was close” But Donald replies, “My Blizziga magic didn’t do that” It turns out it was a stranger in a black cloak that saved them as she introduces her self, “From the humblest of beginnings, a hero will rise. For I am the great powerful witch in training!” She throws off her cloak to reveal her self, wearing a black uniform with multi colored arms and legs and says her name! “Luz Noceda! The human from another world!” She says aloud as she uses her light magic to appear from her palms, thanks to the paper markings. Everyone was in complete silence who didn’t know how to react to this, except Goofy and Sora who clap as Sora compliments her, “Wow that was impressive! Go human!” Luz smiles as she whispers to her self and almost cries, “Nailed it!” But then the clapping stops as all the soldiers scream to capture them all. Luckily their sight was covered as smoke bombs exploded in front of them and another being appears as she grabs Luz and tells the others, “Luz, this is no time to be an entertainer, do that during our sales to buyers. Hey Razor Locker guy, you and your other freakazoids better come with us or else!” Goofy asks, “Or else will get captured by the soldiers?” The hooded woman adds, “Oh yeah that could happen, I was actually just threatening you guys. Now come on!” The witch sees the shattered object and grabs it while making a run for it with the rest of the fugitives. They escape the plaza and go into the forest. Soon all five of them lost the soldiers from the chase and were coming to a plain field. The newcomers all notice the big house with a large eye like window. The woman puts her hood down, reveling her large grey hair dew, pointy ears and had two colored eyes, one grey, other yellow on the right. She stands near the door as she says, “Welcome to my humble abound, Hooty we got company.” Soon the door knocker with an owl face becomes alive as it stretches his neck out from the door and screams in a high pitch voice, “Oh boy! Company! I love meeting new faces, even though they leave the moment I start talking, I’m not sure why?” Sora and his friends panic as he says, “It can talk?” Luz explains, “Yep! This is Hooty, he really, really, REALLY loves making friends.” Hooty exclaims, “I hope you all get to sleep over and brought your tooth brushes. I don’t need one since I only have a beak. But I sure love eating toothpaste, it’s minty!” The witch, who’s annoyed asks, “Hooty, just let us in already” Hooty does what she says, “Oh OK then.” Everyone gets inside and soon Donald was the last one, but instead Hooty shuts the door on him as Donald screams, “Hey what’s the big idea?” Hooty sarcastically says while twisting his neck around, “Oh nothin, it’s not like I have anything against geese who quack and make annoying sounds while stealing bread, hoot hoot!” Luz tries to help as she says, “Hooty be nice, let the unlucky ducky in.” Hooty complies, “Fiiiine!” He opens the door for Donald but just as he gets in, he shuts the door behind him as he purposely hits Donald’s fanny with feathers flying around. Donald rubs his bottom as he jumps around and yells, “Ow! Wraggin fraggin! What is your problem!?.” Hooty pretends to apologize, “Oops, my bad! Don’t let the Owl door hit you on the way in!” Donald, with narrow eyes goes, “You’re the owl door you-“ But the witch interrupts them, “Hooty, don’t be rude, sorry feathers.” Hooty reverts in the door as he last says, “What eva!” As they all came inside, the woman introduces herself, “Since Luz already did her intro, nows my time to steal the spot light. For I am -“ But Sora interrupts her, “Eda the Owl Lady right?” Then Eda slumps down as she says, “Oh I see the old guy told you about me, fine whatever. Welcome to the Owl House.” Eda sits on her worn out couch and puts the broken object she stole on the table and examines it. Sora and his friends look around them, seeing unknown items to them like potions and weapons, but also notices everyday junk seen from earth, hanging on the walls. But what catches Sora’s attention was the huge wanted poster of Eda with a $1,000,000 reward. He asks, “Wait, you're a criminal?” Eda explains as she tinkers with the object, “Yep, but I’m a criminal you can trust. After all, Yen-Sid contacted me and wanted my help. Talk about desperate.” Donald whispers to Goofy, “Should we really trust her?” Goofy complies, “I don’t know, Master Yen-Sid said she can help.” And someone from behind them says, “Don’t worry, she’s pretty reliable.” They both scream when they notice a small animal behind them The skull wearing stranger says, “Except when she forgets to feed me” Eda says to him, “King, where were you?” The demon named King tells her, “I was standing here all this time, you people didn’t notice me! Nnngh!” Due to his short stature, he would be hard to see, in fact he was almost shorter than Donald. Luz couldn’t help but go awe at his cute pout when she says, “Aw my wittle demon is ang-wee!” Sora asks him, “Whoa, you're really a demon?” King puffs up his chest as he does his own intro to. “Thats right human, THE KING OF DEMONS! Which is why I’m called King of course”. Sora tries to look impressed. “Oh really?” But whispers with Luz, “Is that true?” Luz answers, “Nah but just humor him.” After hearing King’s voice, Sora then asks Eda, “Hey he’s not related to an evil triangle with a top hat is he?” Eda rolls her eyes and answers that question, “No but I know who you’r referring to. Never mention that jerk ever again.” Sora goes, “Wow, that famous. Anyway um if you don’t mind me asking, what exactly were you wanted for?” Eda explains, “Oh for a lot of things, I’m pretty infamous for doing what ever I want. Especially by the Emperor” Goofy asks, “The Emperor?” Luz angrily explains, “Emperor Belos, some self proclaimed lord of the Boiling Isles who’s been trying to capture Eda for years just to join his coven of witches to follow his rules.” Eda exclaims, “Bah! Rules, how it burns my ears, course that part wasn’t really true after all and he exhaled all my crimes after my escape, just to make himself look good to the people.” Sora and his friends didn’t get the whole story but for now they wanted to know one thing as Sora asks, “Ok, well we like to know what happened to our friends?” Luz explains the situation, “Oh I can help with that, it all started this morning when I was training with Amity, a school friend.” Luz describes the morning events through a flashback as Luz and her other witch friend, Amity Blight were practicing their magic before school starts. Luz practices her plant magic against Amity as she uses her gelation like golem, an abomination to block her attacks. She was doing fine until Amity trips. Luz stops and asks, “Whoa! You OK?” She helps Amity up telling her, “Yeah, yeah I’m fine.” Still concerned, Luz asks, “Are you sure, what about your leg? It's still healing right?” Amity answers, “It’s fine Luz, really. I just wanna keep practicing with you. If the Emperor’s Coven ever attacks you again, I wanna be there to help.” Luz thought, “Yeah sure. But you know we don’t always have to practice, we can still hang out together.” Amity blushes at that thought and goes, “Whoa really? Well we can -“ But that moment best ruined when Amity gets a ping from her scroll like phone. Luz asks, “What’s up?” Amity answers as she reads the text aloud, “Looks like a Pentagram update? Something about Inchies?” Luz asks, “Inchies? You mean like fleas” Amity answers, “No, something bigger, like parasites of the Boiling Isles.” Luz asks, “Whoa seriously? What do they look like?” Amity’s eyes widen when she saw something coming out of the forest and points, “Apparently that!” The black like creatures try to attack them but the kids defended them selves using their magic. Amity’s abomination attacks the Heartless but gets overrun by them. Luz tries to defend her with plant and ice magic but it was no use as the Inchies almost swarm them. But soon three warriors slice them apart as the enemies hearts float out of their bodies and disappear. Luz says to one of them, “Thanks for the save!” The young blonde boy says, “No problem.” As they shake hands, Amity gets easily jealous as she gets in-between them and says, “Ahem, yeah well uh, we could have handled them ourselves, so…anyway this is my CLOSE friend Luz Noceda. My name is Amity Blight..who is also her close friend”. She repeats blushingly. The boy introduces himself, “Oh well nice to meet you, I’m Ven, these are my close friends, Aqua and Terra.” Luz notices the girls with blue hair and the young man and guesses, “Oh that tall one must be the tough guy and Aqua must be the calm one of the group and you um” She says as she tries to figure out what type of person Ven is as he complains. “Oh come on, couldn’t I be the tough one?” Terra smacks his back and smiles saying, “Only if you beat me in practice” Aqua puts her hands on her hips going, “So typical, girls can be tough to you know?” Luz agreed, “You said it girlfriend!” Amity panically says, “I could be tough too!” She attempts to make a tough look by puffing up her cheeks but almost gets dizzy. Luz warns her “Careful Amity, you’ll pass out if you do that, remember?” Amity regains her self and noticed something about them when she saw their ears. “Oof sorry? Hey, aren’t you all human?” They all look at each other and Terra says, “Well last time I checked yes.” Aqua determines, “I’m guessing humans are rare to come to this world?” Amity asks, “Well other than Luz, yes very much and those weapons, what was that? That was clearly not Boiling Isle magic.” The outsiders panic and didn’t know what to say since they could’t reveal themselves from another world. But soon the Emperor’s coven army ambushes them as one of them goes, “The Inchies are taken care of, capture the Razor Lockers!” Luz, Amity and the others didn’t know what was going on but decided to defend themselves. While the Keyblade wielders got their Keyblades out, the coven soldiers shoot three collars from their crossbows. Aqua, Ven and Terra all get hit by their wrists and their Keyblades instantly disappear. Ven panics as he tries to get his weapon back, “I-I can’t summon my Keyblade!” Terra says the same, “Mine too, something’s wrong” Aqua figured it out. “It’s these bracelets, they’re preventing us from using them.” Soon the soldiers caught them one by one. Luz and Amity were almost surrounded too as one of soldiers goes, “What about the others?” Another answers, “Capture them too, Warden Wrath will probably want revenge.” Soon Amity uses her abomination and makes it grab Luz to escape! Luz panics and attempts to get out of the goopy creature’s arms as she screams, “Amity! What are you doing?” Amity gets captured like the rest as she tells her last words, “Get Eda! I’ll be fine!” As it got far away, the abomination eventually disappears. Luz thought about going back but instead decided to head to the Owl House immediately. As she arrived, Eda was cooking by mixing something in a bowl and says, “Oh Luz! Great timing, I’m just making brunch!” The food in the bowl almost comes out and talks, “Hi! I’m brunch” Eda hits it with a spoon and tells it, “Get back in there” The food groans as she continues mixing. Luz exclaims, “Eda! Amity was captured the coven. There were even other humans that got captured too! I don’t even know why they wanted her, she’s done nothing wrong!” Eda stops cooking and asks, “Whoa, whoa, other humans besides you? What did they look like?” Luz describes them, “Well their clothes were like really awesome, like something out of a JRPG game. And they wielded these crazy swords or more like giant keys?” Eda’s eyes widen as she exclaims, “Did you just say giant keys?” Luz answers, “Um yeah” Eda throws the bowl away and looks in her closet. Luz curiously asks, “Um Eda, what are you looking for?” Eda gets out a giant old dusty mirror as she tries to wipe it clean and explains a little. “If what you're saying is true, I think I know a guy who knows them. Calling Big Wiz Yen-Sid” The mirror dials but starts making sounds like a 90s internet modem as it takes time to connect. Eda bangs on it as she complains, “Come on you stupid you piece of Mewni junk! I really shouldn’t have bought this at Quest Buy. So glad it’s out of business.” Back to the present, Eda finishes the rest of the story. “After a long boring few minutes to connect, I finally made contact with Yen-Sid and told him his troubled teens got captured.” Luz asks, “I couldn’t see what he looked like in the mirror since I fell asleep with all the waiting. Hey so is Yen-Sid like an all powerful wizard with a big cone hat with stars and a pointy beard?” Sora answers, “Yeah pretty much.” Luz gleefully says, “Squeal! Oh the genuine article! pffft unlike that fake wizard who tricked me.” Donald asks, “So how exactly do you know Master Yen-Sid?” Eda answers as she smiles, “Would you believe we use to date?” Everyone was shocked with their mouths open then Eda laughs, “Ha, just kidding, but the looks on your faces! I did my travels to other worlds when I met him.” Sora curiously asks, “Wait so you’ve been to other worlds too? How do you do it?” Eda explains, “Oh easy, magic door. Yeah I’ve stole- I mean “borrowed” what ever junk I can sell through out the different worlds. From the Bizarre Bazaar to the Crawlspace, which I’m pretty famous over there next to a wanted poster of… Larry the king?” King corrects her, “I’m not Larry.” Eda tries to make him understand, “No I mean…sigh never mind. Anyway I’m pretty much banned from those worldly world markets after they accused me of stealing, can you believe that?“ King answers her rhetorical question. “I can” As Luz did too stating, “Ditto” Eda swats the air at them and grabs something, “Ah what do you know, I almost lost my staff back there thanks to some no good green troll, right Owlbert?” A small owl flies to Eda from upstairs and perches on the staff. She turns him as his claws latch on to the top instantly turning into an ornament. Sora eyes widen as he asks, “Whoa! Your magic staff is alive?” Eda explains as she puts the staff to the side, “Yep, that’s a palisman for ya. We’ve been through thick and thin.” Goofy still wondered as he asks, “So how did you meet Master Yen-Sid?” Eda tells him, “Well I heard about a tower of mystery unlike anyone has ever seen before and I found the secret to getting in. That was easy but getting to his secret stash was the hard part. I couldn’t tell up from down and thought I end up lost forever, never finding what I was looking for.” Donald narrows his eyes and asks, “And what exactly did you try to find?” Eda playfully explains, “Oh I believe what I was looking for was called, ‘none of your bee stings’ Luz corrects, “Don’t you mean bees wax?” Eda, “I know what I said and if it makes you feel any better quakers, I was caught by him. Luckily he left me off the hook for being a troubled teen and thought if I ever needed guidance, I could contact him. Just never enter his tower again. As if I ever want to, that place is like space and time melded.” Learning something new, about her, Luz says, “I didn’t know you can travel through space just to steal stuff too! Oh you're like a space pirate!” Eda smiles as she says, “Ha if I was, I’d steal myself a handsome stud.” Then the room goes silent from her joke as Eda says, “Eh what ever, I maybe the host, but that doesn't mean I have to be your clown.” She says as she fixes the bracelet. Sora ignores that last comment and asks Luz, “OK that explains someone like you being here, you're a human from earth right?” Impressed, Luz answers, “Dang, you’re good. Yep, just training to be a witch for the summer! Course looks like that’s probably like forever” Goofy asks, “Wait, forever? How come?” Donald asks too, “Are you stuck here?” Luz explains, “I guess so, I mean I had the door way back to go back home but I ended up destroying it.” Donald asks, “Why you’d that?” Eda explains “Cause the emperor wanted it. The door was originally mine. Which is why the emperor wanted me all along and even Luz too for human. It was between me getting petrified or let the emperor have what he wanted. Luckily she saved me in the nick of time and made sure to keep her world safe by destroying what he wanted…in her shoes I would have done the same.” Eda pats Luz’s shoulder as Luz says, “Thanks Eda, but I just wish I did it sooner, now your magic is messed up because of me.” Eda shrugs and says, “Hey better than being petrified, least Lilith finally helped out.” Sora asks, “Who’s Lilith?” And right on time, another witch came through the door. She looked about the same age as Eda, even different eye colors too, one grey on the right and the other green. Her was mostly black but with a bit of grey on her right side. She wore a cloak and carried some logs in. Eda exclaims, “Ah speak of the she-devil, hey Lilith.” As she puts the logs down, Lilith turns while taking the hood off and says “Did you just call me a she-devil? Ug, I was patrolling with what’s going on outside and here you are…entertaining guests?” Sora and his friends wave while Lilith ignores them as Eda jokingly says,” Well I was always the partying type.” Luz introduces them to Lilith, “This is Sora, Donald and Goofy, they’re here to free their friends and Amity too.” Lilith says, “Um yes hello, never thought I see another human and…what ever those two are. How can they even help? Even those new enemies, the Inchies are running amok and the soldiers are hardly doing anything to get rid of them.” Eda tells her, “You heard about the rumors of the Razor Lockers?” Lilith replies, “Yes, they say they’re the reason the Inchies are invading and that they brought them here?” Sora corrects her, “That’s a lie, I’m a Keyblade wielder just like my friends. Those Inchies are called Heartless and we're here to stop them.” Lilith pounders, “Should have figured they were lies of the emperor. I went to ask one of the soldiers on the whereabouts on Amity, some say they don’t have her, others say she aided the outsiders.” In a smug way, Eda says, “Well just be glad she’s not forced to work with the emperor, unlike someone who willingly did it for a long time.” Lilith feeling guilty goes, “Sigh, please let that go sister” Sora figured, “Your sisters? Oh that explains the grey eye colors.” Lilith and Eda looked at each other hoping Eda doesn’t explain the real reason but changes the subject, “That’s…something else entirely. Right now these “Heartless” or whatever they are started invading the Boiling Isles and soon rumors started to spread about these creatures being old parasites and your friends are to blame for that.” Sora tires to make sense of this, ” But they came to this world to stop the Heartless, why would this emperor make up lies for that?" Lilith answers, “Because like Luz, you and your friends came from another world, which means the emperor probably wants information from them on how to enter another world” Eda also adds, “And this whole thing was a trap, he already knew someone was coming to wipe out the Heartless, probably either you or your friends.” Donald asks, “How do you think the emperor knew all about this?” Luz thinks aloud, “Maybe the titan told him?” Sora asks, “Titan?” Luz explains, “Oh right, the Boiling Isles used to be a giant right? Turns out it’s still alive and he speaks through the Emperor or at least that’s what he claims?” Eda grabs her staff, “Whatever the case, I think we know what to do and I already know where your friends are, the Conformatoriam. Time to free them” Luz exclaims, “Eda wait, your magic is still, well out of wack remember?” Eda grabs the broken bracelet, which is fixed now and shows it to them as she says, “Don’t worry kid, I think I have something that can temporarily help with that.” As Eda and Sora get ready to rescue them, the Conformatoreim has new prisoners, sharing a special cell together. Amity and Aqua sit together while Terra observes the bars for any weaknesses and Ven attempts to summon his Keyblade but no matter how hard he tries, it still wouldn’t appear.” Ven complains, “It’s no use, I can’t get it to work and can’t even get this stupid band off.” Amity says,” I wish I can get my abomination to get us out of here but this cell is cutting off my magic. Ug, I can’t believe this is happening to me! I’m in jail and my parents are going to kill me or at least disown me! Which might not be so bad…kind of hate them for a number of reasons.” Aqua tries to be positive saying, “Well being trapped here can’t be as bad as what we went through. “ Amity asks, “Really? Like what?” Ven tells her, “Went into an eternal sleep in a castle.”Aqua says her part, “Trapped in a world of darkness.” And finally Terra says, “Possessed by a manipulative schemer.” Ven says, “And that was like 10 years.” Surprised, Amity asks, “Whoa, you guys really went through a lot! So how did all of you get free?” Aqua answers, “With some big help from our friends like Sora, which means he might come here to rescue us again.” Amity wonders, “All right, so can he use that uh Keyblade to free us?” Terra truthfully tells her, “Hopefully yes. But what ever these cuffs are, there preventing us from using our own.” Ven ponders, “How the heck did they even get something like these?” Aqua tries to answer “Will figure it out once we escape.” Soon thumping noises echo through out the prison as the main door opens up and a large creature comes close to their cell. It was a big hulking being with a hood and wearing a large beaked face, the Warden of the Conformatoriam, Wrath! He speaks to them in a threatening tone, “No ones leaving unless I say you leave…And I say no, so you're not going to leave…like ever…period.” Amity stands up and yells, “Yeah except Luz escaped your prison before and you got beaten by her, twice! She told me the stories about you. You’re nothing more than a bully and I should know how bullies act! I was…pretty much one my self.” Warden bangs on the bars with his tentacle like arms as magic bounces off some sparks. Amity nearly falls back and Aqua catches her saying, “Hey! Leave her alone!” But the Warden talks back “Silence! I was talking to her not you, your nothing more than bait! Like three worms on a single fishing hook. Which would be kind of hard to do with all the squirming and - ug it’s so creepy just making me think about that! Anyway I’ve also heard about you Amity Blight and the Blight family, thanks to the emperor. Anyone who’s a friend of that human would make her want to rescue you too. If you were to call her here, maybe I’ll set you free.” Amity stands her ground as she says, “As if I do that!” But Warden Wrath keeps threatening her, “Oh, would you rather I tell them you're being friends with a human?” Terra defends her, “And what’s wrong with that?” The Warden explains, “It’s frowned upon in our society, that’s why most of them don’t act right and end up in here. In fact, I’d say you like that human girl as more than just a friend.” Amity panics but tries to deny it “I - I don’t know what you're talking about.” With the upper hand, Wrath continues, “Oh I do know because I too know what it’s like to fall in love. Eda the Owl Lady and sadly she refuses my love. But when I get her, the Emperor will finish her off so maybe the pain will go away. Until then, if you don’t comply with me, I’ll just tell your parents that you're in love with a human girl. Maybe even…your entire school.” Amity screams as she got close to the bars, “You can’t do that!” The Warden turns and heads back to the door as he says his last words to her, “Oh I can if you don’t do as I say, tick tock.”As the door shuts, Amity sat on the bench and slumped down while Aqua sat next to her and tries to comfort her saying, “Hey you OK?” Amity holding her self together says, “No, I - I don’t know what to do.” Ven and Terra sat down to from across the room as they both wondered how to help. Ven tries asking, “Well you can’t give him what he wants, you love this girl right?” Amity panics as she keeps denying again, “I don’t know what you're talking about? She’s just a friend." Terra questions her, “Listen, the truth is, like your friend, we’re from another world. And once we leave, we won’t be telling anyone about this. So there’s really no shame about it, even if you're both girls, it’s OK if you like each other. Is that really not allowed here?” Amity decides to trust them and explains, “No, it is allowed, I mean even Willow’s parents are both men…but maybe that’s another reason why my parents didn’t want me to be friends with her?” Aqua asks, “Wait, who’s Willow?” Amity tries to make sense, “She’s an old best friend of mine. Her skills were different from mine and my parents didn’t want me to be friends with her. If I didn’t do as they said, they would make sure she would never go to the same school I'd go to.” Terra thinks aloud, “So if your parents find out your friends with a human, they could do something to her too?” Amity looking down goes, “Yeah” But Aqua asks, “ Well is Luz really as weak as you think?” Amity exclaims, “What? No of course not! She’s…she’s really brave and a good listener. When I first met her, I didn’t know what she wanted other than learning magic and I didn’t want anything to do with her because I only cared about being the best. I thought she was my rival but what she really wanted was to be my friend. And pretty soon I wanted something more than that. Funny part is I’m not sure if she feels the same way I do?” Ven says aloud, “Wait so she doesn’t know how you feel? Amity yells too, “No way! Worst part is she might end up going home on earth and I may never see her again or even know how she feels about me.” Terra says, “Well maybe you should take the chance when the time is right.” Amity wonders, “When will that happen?” Aqua points to her heart and tells her, "When you find the moment here, then you can let it out.” Amity smiles as she says, “Thanks, you guys are pretty good listeners too. I really hope we can find a way to get out of here.”Amity tries to hug Aqua, but her head accidentally hits Aqua’s right shoulder pad. Aqua apologizes, “Sorry about that” Amity rubs her head, “Ow! It’s fine but jeez, seriously why do all of you have those weird pads, it’s an odd fashion design” Terra’s eyes widen as he looks at Aqua’s pad, Ven’s and his as he came up with a solution, “I think I just found the way to summon our Keyblades!”
