A Daemon's Second Chance (Tales of Berseria x Kingdom Hearts)

Chapter 4: Hollow Bastion

"My goodness! What's that?" Merryweather asked.

At the table next to the window, a crow was there, standing on top of a black and purple gown. It cawed at the three fairies as it carried the gown closer and dropping it onto the ground before them. The crow hopped himself off of it so the three fairies would be able to see it better. Flora, Fauna and Merryweather all looked closely at the gown.

"Haven't we seen this somewhere before?" Merryweather asked the other two.

"Yes, dear." Fauna answered, "I wonder whose it was?"

Merryweather gasped as she remembered. "Oh, Malefi-" she started to say, but she covered her mouth.

"No! We mustn't remember her name!" Flora warned her, but she too knew her name, "Oh dear.."

"She was a mean ol' witch." Merryweather said, panicking as she started to remember her, "Oh, no! The memories are coming back! What'll we do?! Ooh, what'll we do?!"

Suddenly, the gown started to float slightly off the ground. To be more precise, someone was magically appearing in the gown. All three fairies gasped and spoke in horror as it was happening.

"Perhaps we should tell Master Yen Sid." Fauna suggested.

"Yes." agreed Flora, "That's what we must do. Hurry!"

As Flora and Fauna ran out the door and turned small, Merryweather watched as the figure in the black gown finally made her appearance, standing upright.

"Maleficent!" she cried, following the other two and turning small.

The figure stood there in the room, feeling herself as she came back to life. The gown covered her from head to foot as she stood there. She had pale skin, black fingernails, and was carrying a long wooden rod with a lime green orb on top. The gown made fringes on her neck, and made it look like she had horns on her head. She had black pupils and yellow retinas.

She looked around the room, producing an evil grin. She then started to cackle madly, eagerly happy she was revived. Maleficent, the witch of darkness, had risen again.

Up into space, the Gummi ship was hovering close to the world where Yen Sid's tower was at. Velvet looked up into the starry space, she couldn't help but think about Jude and Milla, two humans they met along their journey who came from another world different from theirs. Maybe they will meet them again but this time in Rieze Maxia, their world.

Meanwhile, Laphicet was looking all over at the control panel. Being curious as he is when it comes to new things of knowledge and how things work very unusual, but he believed that he could handle such advance technology. Goofy was explaining to him what do each part of the panel do.

Just then, a video screen popped up at the front, and two chipmunks with yellow overalls could be seen inside a control system. Over the voice communicator, their two squeaky voices could be heard.

"Howdy, Sora!" said one voice. "How ya doin'?"

"Chip? Dale? Is that you?" Sora asked eagerly as he leaned into the screen.

"You betcha!" the second voice replied, "It's your favorite Gummi engineers here, ready for duty: Chip..."

"...and Dale!" finished the second voice.

"Great to see ya again." Sora greeted them,

"Hey, we have a couple of new friends joining with us on our adventure." He ushered Velvet and Laphicet in so they could be better seen. "These are my new friends; Velvet and Laphicet." Sora introduced them, "Velvet possesses the Sorcerer's ring! Isn't that awesome?!"
