Breezy: "Good 'ay, mate! I be bringn' a chapter for ye!"

Riku: "Why'd you forget us in the last chapter?"

Sora: "I kinda missed your desk…"

Breezy: "Silly boys, I didn't forget you! I just didn't think of you for an elongated amount of time! Now, I must say that I, being of sound mind and will *snort*, do not own anything about this story except for the 'plot' and the original characters. If I owned Square Enix, I would not be here. I would be sitting on the shores of the Caribbean, enjoying a fruity beverage of my choice."

Riku: "Please enjoy and review."

"MERLIIIIN~!!!" I yelled, throwing open the door to his house. Said magician dropped something that shattered as it hit the floor. The twitching sorcerer turned to me.

"Oops. Sorry about that—anyway, we need you!!" Sora rushed in, caught a breath, and gaped at the now bubbling mixture on the floor. After a brief moment, the other two caught up and tripped over us in their haste to get in.

"Merlin! Come quick; the castle's in big trouble!" Donald quacked as I lifted him calmly off of me. Goofy was kind enough to get up himself. "Maleficent's inside the castle, and she brought heartless with her!" Donald started to explain farther as Merlin summoned his wand…

"And the queen's in danger, and, and… huh?"

We now stood inside the Hall to the Cornerstone once more.

"Perhaps I should see for myself." Merlin stated as he put the wand away. After this small task was done, he went closer to the cornerstone, inspecting it up and down.

"What's wrong, Merlin?"

"Yes, what's happening to the cornerstone?"

Merlin turned to us with a grave look glued to his face. He sighed, fingering his beard in thought.

"This is not good. Not at all. It's really quite serious." He announced. I gulped, noticing that the darkened vines seemed bigger than they had before. With a sudden poof, a door appeared; courtesy of Merlin.

"Whoa…"

"What is that?" The gleaming white door seemed to compel Sora to ask just that. The large, tall door was glimmering, even in such a darkened room as this one.

"My boy, this is a door to another world. I believe said world holds within it the reason for our troubles here."

"So," I started to speak, "You're saying that if we go through this door, then we can find the guy responsible for what's going on here; and that we can stop it, right?" I turned to Merlin; he nodded.

"Then we should go stop him!" Sora shouted, starting for the door.

"Wait! The person responsible must be stopped, of course, but we must do something else before that." Merlin turned to Sora. "I believe that somewhere in this world, there is a door identical to the one you see here. As long as that door is open, this castle will be in danger. I need you to find it, secure it, and lock it, Sora."

Sora nodded.

"Got it."

"Don't worry, Merlin. You can count on us!"

"One more thing." The magician spoke once more. "While you are in this world, you may be tempted to do something dark. You must—must—resist this temptation at all costs!" I cocked my head to the side, unsure.

"What do you mean?" Merlin simply smiled at my comment, and gestured to the door.

"I believe you'll understand soon. We believe in you four!"

As if on cue, the door was opened, and we were sucked into the light.

------------

I heard a bone pop as the door threw us onto the ground. 'Ow…' I groaned as I pushed myself up. Standing, I did a quick check of our surroundings. Grayscale was the dominant here, as everything was black, white, or in-between. Large, differing trees, shrubs, and flowers with… faces on them.

Joy.

"Hey, it's the Cornerstone of Light!" Goofy pointed with a rather large hand. It seemed my hands were larger too; as well as my feet. 'Okay…'

"Why is everything black and white?"

"Why are my feet so huge?"

"This is sorta like… um…"

"Déjà vu?" Goofy finished, turning to us.

"Yeah! That's it!"

Sora turned back to them, then glanced around.

"Really? Have you been here before?"

The two shrugged, as I cocked an eyebrow. Maybe they were here in a past life or something… I turned around, hearing rather loud footsteps. My eyes widened at the huge mass of space now towering over me. I stepped back to see the face of… Pete? ''Anger mark growing…'

"Hey you three, have you seen any bad guys around here?" He asked, clearly in either innocence or stupidity. I twitched, and joined Sora, Donald, and Goofy in pointing back at him. He fell back, as if hit, and forced a fist in front of my face. 'Anger mark now visible…'

"You little-" he gave us a once-over and dropped his fist. "Bah! I don't have time to waste on a couple of brats like you! You're lucky I went easy on ya!" With this rather stupid not-even-a-comeback he looked away and ran down the hill. As he left, I silently wished he would tumble down, rather than run.

"I guess we found our villain."

Breezy: "Sorry again about the shortness. Then again, a short chapter now is better than a long one in… December, right?"

Riku: "…"

Sora: "… Get her."
