Even If You're In the Deepest Darkness, I'll Be Your Light(Digimon ver.)

Ice Magic

My Pov

We enter the Lotus Forest looking for the Cheshire Cat. We looked around, but didn't see him. That is until a grinning, floating cat head appeared in front of my face. I screamed and fell on my back. Salamon screamed and hid behind me. The cat's head appeared on a tree stump, along with its body standing on it. The body jumped off the head, picked up the head and placed it on its neck.

"Who are you?" Donald asked.

"Who indeed? Poor Alice. Soon to lose her head, and she's not guilty of a thing!" said the cat.

"Hey, if you know who the culprit is, tell us!" Sora exclaimed.

"You said it yourself; Alice's is guilty of nothing." I pointed out.

"The Cheshire Cat has all the answers- but doesn't always tell. The answer, the culprit , the cat all lie in darkness." he said. Then he vanished. What the hell was all of that suppose to mean?!

"Wait!" Sora yelled.

"They've already left the forest. I won't say which exit. There are four pieces of evidence in all. Three are a cinch to find. The fourth is tricky. Big reward if you find them all." he said.

"Should we trust him?" Donald asked. The cat reappeared briefly.

"To trust, or not to trust? I trust you to decide!" he exclaims. We looked throughout the entire world. With Veemon and Salamon's help, we found footprints, stench and an antennae. Now we just need to find one more. That involved going back to the Bizarre Room, but at a different angle. We went through a different passage and ended up on top of a faucet. That's when I saw the last piece of evidence; claw marks. The Cheshire Cat reappeared. "Well, look what you've found. Nice going." he said.

"Now we can save Alice." Sora said.

"Don't be so sure! She may be innocent, but what about you?" the cat asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked, wondering what he meant.

"I won't tell you, but I'll give you something." he says, pointing at our Keyblades. Me and Sora were able to use both the Fire and Blizzard Spell now. We hurried back

"Now, show me what you have found." the queen demanded. Sora and I placed the four boxes in front of her. "Well, that's certainly a lot of evidence, but I'm still not impressed." she said, snobbishly. Oh, come on! "Cards! Bring forth my evidence!" she demanded. An Ace of Heart Card place one box next to one of ours. The boxes shuffled. "Hmm, checking all five would be a waste of time. Al right, then. Choose the one you wish to present. I'll decide who's guilty based on that evidence."

"What? After all that trouble collecting it?" Sora complained.

"You dare object? Then you will lose your head! Now, choose! One box!" the queen snapped.

"Don't worry, Sora. I'll do it." I tell him. I walked to the boxes and chose the second from the left. A Solider Heartless appeared and then disappeared.

"What in the world was that?" the queen asked.

"That was the real culprit. Alice is innocent." I explain.

"Silence! I'm the law here! Article 29: Anyone who defies the Queen is guilty!" the queen angrily proclaimed.

"That's crazy!" Donald yelled.

"Seize them at once!" the queen yelled. The whole area changed. A small tower was they only thing that stood out and it was connected to the cage Alice was being held in. The Cards flew everywhere and began attacking us. At a time, Sora, Donald, Goofy and me would attack the tower.

"V-Headbutt!" Veemon exclaimed.

"Puppy Howl!" Salamon exclaimed. Veemon rammed into the tower while Salamon's howl hit it. Finally, it was destroyed, bring the cage all the way down. The curtain rolled around to reveal Alice was gone.

"She must have gotten kidnapped while we were fighting." Donald said.

"You fools! Find the one who's behind this! I don't care how!" the queen yelled. The cards scrambled into different directions. We went back into the forest to look for Alice, but found the Cheshire Cat instead.

"Have you seen Alice?" Donald asked.

"Alice, no. Shadows, yes!" said the cat.

"Where did they go?" Goofy asked.

"This way? That way? Does it matter? Left, right, up, down! All mixed up thanks to the shadows! Step deeper into the forest to the deserted garden. You might find shadows in the upside-down room!" he told us.

"Well, let's hurry. Who knows how long the 'shadows' are going to stick around." I said. We did as the cat said and later lit the lanterns in both the versions of the Bizarre Room. Soon, the entire room was lit. the Cheshire Cat appeared on the table.

"You'd have better view from up here." he said. We climbed up onto the table. "The shadows should be here soon. Are you prepared for the worst? If not, that's too bad!" he exclaimed. A giant Heartless landed on the floor. It was red and black and its hands sounded like paper crackling when it moved them. It also was able to use Fire magic. This was an unfair fight. We were ants compared to this one. That's when I remembered; me and Sora could use Ice magic. I only glance at him and realized he was thinking the same thing. We raise our Keyblades at the Heartless and shouted:

"Freeze!" A small blue light shot from each of our Keyblades, hit the Heartless and froze it. The ice began to crack. It didn't work? But, the Heartless fell apart and a heart was released from it. I heard the Doorknob yawn.

"What a racket. How's a doorknob to get any sleep?" the doorknob complained. He yawned again and a keyhole's silhouette shone in his mouth. Then, me and Sora's Keyblades began to shine too. They forced our hands to point forward. Small beams of light emitted from them and went toward the Keyhole. There was a defiant locking sound and the light faded.

"What was that?" Donald asked.

"You hear that? Sounded like something closed." Sora said.

"The Keyhole was locked and now this world is safe..." I said, I realized what I said and wondered why I said it.

"What?" Sora asked, looking at me funny.

"Oh, nothing!" I said, flustered. I didn't understand where that had come from. That when a strange colored block fell from the Doorknob. Salamon sniffed it before picking it up and handing it to Donald.

"This gummi ain't like the others. No, sir." Goofy said.

"Okay. I'll hold on to it." Donald said.

"Splendid. You're quiet the hero and heroine." We turned to see the Cheshire Cat. "If you're looking for Alice, she's not here. She's gone! Off with the shadows, into darkness." he said, disappearing once more.

"No..." I said, feeling like we failed to help someone when they needed it.

"Let's get back to our gummi ship. We might find her in another world." Donald said.

"We gotta go to the entry point to return to our ship." Goofy explained.
