Kingdom Hearts II: Long Way Home

Chapter 14: My Family

"Ven? Ven, wake up!" She kissed him again but it didn't work. She whimpered and pulled away.

"Gemma?" Aqua asked her, hopes raising. She looked at her with sad eyes.

"Aqua!" She hugged her and cried in her shoulder. "It isn't right! It's not fair!"

Aqua smiled; she remembered. But that joy was short lived. Gemma gasped and backed up to another wall, not to far from where Ven was. Her hand slowly turned crystal.

"SIS!!" Little Mai ran to her side, followed by Aqua. She smiled at Mai.

"Sis, you behave for Master Yen Sid and Master Aqua, you hear me young lady?"

The little redhead teared up and took her crystalized hand. "I -I'll be good..."

The older sibling smiled and lightly chuckled, "That's my girl... Love you, my little princess..."

She sniffed, wiping her tears with her free hand. She sadly smiled, "Love you too, sissy."

Gemma looked towards Aqua with a weak smile. The bluette tucked her ear like a mom would her child. "I'll watch her with all my power."

"C-can you bring Ven and Mai to a safe place?"

"Of course. Somehow, I'll make things right, sis..."

Tears fell upon her hearing that and she warmly smiled. She whispered the next words ever so softly and kept her usual smile the whole time.

"Thank you..."

As the blue eyed girl closed her eyes, she leivated from the ground. The bandage around her stomach unwrapped itself and revealed a green and white light. When it faded, it was as if nothing happened in the first place- not even a scar was left behind. Her ivory skin slowly turned to crystal amd she placed her hands on her heart. A single crystal tear fell from her eye, floating gently towards Ven. The tear safely landed in his hand and he unconsciously held on to it. Her body was fully imprisoned in crystal.

"Whoa! Sissy looks pretty!" Mai said, sad yet amazed by the transformation

"Just like the legends foretold." Master Yen Sid said.

"Legends?"

"Keyblade wielder's child die and the mother is bestowed the curse of eternity. Thus, forever in a crystal prison." Aqua sighed in shook her head, "No, I don't believe it! She'll be free. I don't know how exactly, but I'll be there with Ven and Terra by my side. Together, we'll wake her up."

Mai gasped as she opened her eyes. She looked around the train and finally to Sora. She sighed; if only she was there to protect her sister. Her child would have been here along with Gemma. Oh how things would be different, indeed. She took a longer glance out the window, tearing up.

"Mai?" She felt a hand come to her cheek. Of course, it was Sora's. "Why are you crying?"

"I just... miss my sister..." She nuzzled his hand, putting her hand on top of his. "Sorry if I woke up up, pumpkin."

"It's okay." He hugged her. "Mai, can you tell me about you're sister?"

"Sure. She's a Keyblade Master, who is really serious when it comes to training with others. She can be strict and seemingly cold, but that's how you know she cares about you. She works with you if she does. Around her friends, especially her fiancé, her smiling and bubbly personality usually shows." She sadly smiled. The train's carpet never looked any more fascinating to her. "A lot happened 10 years ago, though. Gemma was expecting but..."
