I'll Protect You No Matter What

Disney Castle

My Pov

The world we came to next was Disney Castle. Mickey, Donald and Goofy's home. I wondered how Minnie and Daisy were. The last time I saw them was at the Dream Festival 11 years ago. We landed in the gummi hanger and I instantly felt something was wrong. I felt a dark presence. Donald and Goofy felt something was wrong too.

Sora: "This is your castle... Must be nice to be back home, huh?" I picked up on the slight sadness in Sora's voice. He missed the islands. I did too. "Well?"

Goofy: "Ya know, somethin' just don't feel quite right..."

Donald: "Yeah." I heard scurrying and saw 2 chipmunks. It was Chip and Dale!

Chip: "You're back!"

Dale: "Move it! Let's go!"

Chip: "Queen Minnie needs to see you!"

Dale: "The castle's in danger! Hurry! To the library!" What did they mean by 'danger'? We went up the hanger stairs and outside into the garden. It was beautiful. Just as we started for the doors, Heartless started popping up.

Donald: "Wak!"

Goofy: "What are Heartless doing here?" Now I knew something was wrong. We fought our way through to the library. We entered the library to see Minnie. Donald saluted.

Donald: "Your Majesty! Queen Minnie! We're back!" She was overjoyed to see Donald and Goofy were back.

Minnie: "You're here!"

Goofy: "You Royal Highness, did ya happen to summon us?"

Minnie: "Yes."

Sora: "Where's the king?" I face-palmed myself. Did Sora have no respect for higher authority? I grabbed his hood and pushed him down.

Me: "I'm so sorry, Minnie. This is Sora." That's when Minnie recognized me along with Sora.

Minnie: "Oh! Hikari, Sora! The King told me all about you in his letters. He said you're a very brave young man." Sora smiled Minnie's comment. "And Hikari, the King told me what an amazing young woman you've become." I felt flattered now too.

Sora: "So, do you know where he is?" She shook her head no. We all sighed, hoping that Mickey would've told his own wife where he was.

Donald: "Your Majesty, what are the Heartless doing in your castle?"

Minnie: "Oh my... So those are the Heartless."

Me: "Don't worry, Minnie. We'll get rid of them!" Minnie looked at us.

Minnie: "I know I can count on you all, Hikari. Now, there's something I'd like all of you to come and see. Would you please escort me to the audience chamber?"

All: "Hut!" We all saluted. Minnie suddenly gasped.

Minnie: "I forgot to warn everyone else in the castle about the danger! We must be sure they're hidden somewhere safe!"

Sora: "Okay, we'll go tell them."

Donald: "The whole castle!?"

Goofy: "We just gotta split up, Donald."

Sora: "Me and Hikari will make sure that everyone knows what's going on."

Donald: "No, Sora, you'll just yourself and Hikari lost!"

Me: "Then, you and Goofy warn everyone. Me and Sora will stay with Minnie." Donald and Goofy ran to warn the inhabitants of the castle.

Sora: "Um, the audience chamber, right, ma'am?"

Minnie: "Yes, Sora. Let's be on our way." We hurried to the large doors that were in the hallway, while protecting Minnie from the Heartless. We got to the doors. Minnie raised her hand and the seal over the door disappeared. A smaller door opened at the bottom of one of the larger doors. We entered the audience chamber, only to find it full of Heartless. We hurried to the throne with Minnie using Faith to help ward off the Heartless. We made it to the throne.

Sora: "Come on, gimme a break!" Suddenly the platform we were standing on began to shake. There was a large bright light that caused me and Sora to cover our eyes. When light faded, we saw all of the Heartless had been destroyed. "Hikari, your clothes!" I looked to see they had changed. I now wore a dress composed of a very pale pink-white blouse with lilac ruffles on each sleeve cuf to match the collar. At the center of the neck was a yellow bow with a sapphire droplet gem hanging from it. On each side of the chest was a yellow and gold band of material, which stretches from the collar to the stomach, where a white band was. The band was lined by yellow and gold material and has three gold buttons at the center. The skirt was yellow with gold diamonds all over it to give it a lined pattern. Going around the bottom of the skirt were white daisies with small green leaf. White ruffles lined the bottom of the skirt. It came with a simple gold bracelet. On my feet were pink solid-wedge shoes with a powder blue line around the foot insertion. The toe and tongue portion was white with two ribbons across it, the top pale pink, the bottom light yellow. On the heel was a small yellow flower, along with a blue one(Look at Aikatsu; Yellow Sailor Coord).

Me: "This is weird." We looked to see there was a staircase.

Minnie: "The room below is called the 'Hall of the Cornerstone.' Our castle has always been safe from worlds that are evil... thanks to the Cornerstone of Light which we keep down there."

Sora: "The Cornerstone... of Light?" We went down the stairs into the room. Except it was dark and there were long vines if thorns spread out through the enture room. Donald and Goofy soon joined us.

Minnie: "This is the castle's cherished Cornerstone. But look. The thorns... They must be the work of someone very evil. I wonder what this could mean..." Suddenly, a spout of green and black fire flared up in front of the Cornerstone. Then, the evil fairy, Maleficent appeared.

Donald: "Maleficent!"

Sora: "No way..." Starlight appeared in my hand.

Me: "YOU!"

Maleficent: "Well, well, well. What have we here? If it isn't the wretched Keyblade holder and his pitiful lackeys!"

Donald: "What!? Now you're gonna deal with me!" Donald rushed toward her, but went through instead. Figures she sends a hologram of herself.

Maleficent: "All in good time. I promise you'll partake of my vengeance. But you must be patient."

Me: "What are you doing here, witch?!" She turned to me and Minnie.

Maleficent: "Ah, Queen Minnie and Princess Hikari. Radiant, as always." Maleficent declared that she would make Disney Castle her own.

Me: "Where is Riku? Where is he?!"

Maleficent: "Somewhere in the darkness, rotting away." No... That wasn't true! It wasn't! I held my head and slumped to the ground. The evil witch cackled and disappeared. Sora knelt down to me. He placed a hand on my shoulder and hugged me.

Sora: "Don't listen to that hag, Hikari. Riku's alright." I wiped a stray tear away from my eye and Sora helped me stand. He, Donald and Goofy went back to Hollow Bastion to get Merlin while I stayed back to protect Minnie.
