The Amazing Adventures of Terra

Chapter 18: Dearie

"Terra?" Regina just stood there, confused.

"He works with Eraqus, from the Land of Departure." Rumple told her.

"And why is he Pennywise's enemy?"

"See, that's the thing. Xehanort was Terra's enemy. But when Xehanort died, Pennywise took his place."

Regina smiled. "Well then, I guess we can work together."

Meanwhile, Terra rode with Kavinsky in the Testarossa.

"So, where are we going?" Terra asked.

"Up to the mountain in the Keyblade Graveyard. That's where Regina is being held." Kavinsky said.

"And what if there's a trap up there?" Terra worried.

"You never know with The Dark One. But in this case, he's probably already told Regina about us, so we should be fine."

And they rode up the mountain. When they got to the top, they found the entrance. It was locked, so Terra unlocked it with his keyblade.

"So, who exactly are we looking for?" Terra asked. But the answer came almost immediately.

"You're looking for me, dearie." And there he was. Rumplestiltskin.

"Yes, I know. You're here to free Regina. And that you will do. But first, there is... A price."

"Alright. What's the price?" Terra asked, ready.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. He does." Rumple pointed to Kavinsky.

"Me?" Kavinsky asked, surprised.

"Yes, you." He replied. "You've wandered the Earth for several years as an immortal. And yet your love has moved on. I don't think we need you around anymore."

Terra was shocked. "You're going to kill him?"

"But you see, he's already dead, dearie. He needs to go."

Terra looked over at Kavinsky. "Are you sure you want this?"

"Well, there is one problem." Kavinsky confessed. "If I go, the car will pass its powers on."

Terra then realized what was going on. "Rumple... you're just trying to steal his powers! You selfish, greedy-"

"I wouldn't if I were you." Rumplestiltskin warned.

"Terra, I'll be fine." Kavinsky reassured. "I'll still remember you. And you'll remember me. There's still hope. Go free Regina, and save the world."

There was a long pause. "Do we have a deal?" Rumple asked. "Yes." Kavinsky replied.

"Deal!" Rumplestiltskin giggled. The power from Kavinsky glowed, then flowed into The Dark One. Kavinsky dropped to the floor, and Terra ran over to him.

"Kavinsky!" He cried. He turned around, and Rumple was gone. Behind Terra, the cage opened, and Regina walked outside.

"So, you're Terra?" She asked.

"Yes, I am." Terra replied.

"And where's, Kavinsky..." She looked at the lifeless body on the ground. "RUMPLESTILTSKIN!" She yelled.

"Where'd he go?" Terra asked.

"Who knows? Probably off to spin gold. What we have to worry about now, is sending the message to my sister."

"Already got it." Zelena stepped into the light.

"Well, that was quick." Regina observed.

"Who's that?" Zelena asked.

"I'm Terra." Terra introduced himself. "I'm here to help you stop Pennywise."

The witch looked surprised. "Really?"

"It's true." Regina piped up. "Rumple told me so."

Zelena nodded. "Then let's go. Let's show that clown how wicked we are."

Down in a well, Pennywise sat, defeated. Rumple appeared in front of him.

"I thought we agreed never to talk again." Pennywise reminded him.

"Oh, but that was ages ago! It's too late anyway. Regina and Zelena are with Terra, ready to kill you."

Pennywise laughed. "They can't kill me! I'm immortal."

"Exactly. Which is why I'm here to turn you mortal again. With this." He pulled out a bottle with a red liquid in it.

"No, you wouldn't."

"It's time you felt my pain as a mortal." Rumplestiltskin moved closer.

"Unless, you'd be willing to make... A deal."
