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

Chapter 18: Disney Castle

Back in Hollow Bastion. Maleficent was looking out onto the balcony, Pete standing behind her. "And where is everyone else?" She asked him.

"Beats me." Pete answered, "They musta had some other matters to deal with."

"Matters?" Maleficent echoed, turning her head to Pete, "You mean they have more important affairs to attend to than my return?"

"Well, see, there's this Organization XIII that keeps gettin' in the way-" Pete started to explain.

"Let those fools play their little game!" Maleficent cut him off, turning away from him once more. "But what about that runt with the Keyblade?" Pete asked. "He's been a real pain, too."

"Oh, has he?" Maleficent questioned him.

She turned her entire body to Pete. "Very well then." she stated, "I suppose you'd best tell me what's happened during my absence."

In Disney Castle, the walking brooms were done cleaning the library as Minnie Mouse was looking up at the bookshelves.

"Oh...hmm." she hummed, "Now I wonder where that old album could be?"

"Queen Minnie!" shouted a small voice.

"It's horrible!" cried another voice. She turned to see Chip and Dale rushing into the room to meet her.

They dashed up to her, and saluted. "Somethin's wrong in the Hall of the Cornerstone!" Chip cried.

"There's real sharp thorns everywhere!" Dale explained. The two chipmunks led Queen Minnie out of the library, through the throne room, and into the Hall of the Cornerstone.

They were right. The room was completely black, the only thing shining was the massive orb filled with light in the middle of the room. There were sharp thorns covering the walls and ceiling.

Minnie gasped in horror and looked at the catastrophe that has plaque the room. She looked worried, and folded her hands together. "Oh, King Mickey," she said, "I wish you could hear me. The castle is in danger! We've got to do something soon!" She closed her eyes as she muttered, "Donald...Goofy...Where are you?"

-

The gang had just left Hercules' world, and were just flying dazedly in space.

"So where to next?" Sora asked.

"Let me see." Laphicet answered, typing away at the panel in front of him. He looked up at the monitor to see all of the available worlds. "Looks like there's a new one on here." He said, tapping the keyboard to zoom in on the undiscovered world." It was world with a large white castle on it, with blue rooftops. Both Donald and Goofy gasped.

"That's Disney Castle!" they cried in unison.

"Wait, isn't that the place where King Mickey lives, and where you guys protect?" Velvet recalled. The two guys nodded. "If it's appeared now, then maybe we should go take a look."

"Then it's settled." Sora concluded, "Laphicet, set coordinates to Disney Castle."

"You got it!" He replied, typing away at the keyboard, and setting the Gummi ship into hyper space to the coordinates. "It should take a couple hours to get there." He told the crew, "No special gates to get through this time." Just then, Sora's stomach let out a big growl.

"Guess I'm a little hungry." he stated, rubbing his belly.

"Is there a kitchen on this ship?" Velvet asked them.

"I think so," Sora answered, "But we don't use it much."

"There should be some fresh produce there anyway." Goofy stated, "They're all well preserved."
