Marie screamed, very loudly.
The darkness rolled towards her like a giant shadow wave, a thousnad yellow eyes lit up and burning like fire.
The heartless were after her.
The girl ran, her brown hair flailing behind her.
But there was onlt so much island she could get to.
She stopped at the sea, knowing the shadow could glide faster than she cpould swim.
Marie fell to her knees as the shadow surrounded her, in a circle getting smaller and smaller.
A creature jumped out, it's body black, eyes yellow, and danced mockingly. It knew she would no longer exist....soon she would be nothing.
Marie swiped at it and it jumped back, but not for long.
There was barely feet between her and the dark now. There was no hope.
But suddenly, a blinding light shone from behind her. Marie turned to see what looked like an anthro mouse in a pink dress.
She held her gloved hands up to the darkness and shouted (in an annoyingly cute voice)
"You shall not hurt this girl!"
A light shone from her, even brighter, and the darkness stopped. It didn't reatreat, though.
"Take my hand!" she said to Marie.
Marie didn't have time to think, so grabbed the mouse's hand.
They disappeared in a flash of light.
*********************
Alsce smiled.
"I knew you'd like it. Next time i'll introduce you to Bahamut."
"What's he like?"
"Bahmut? Big. Nasty. Teethy. Uh...blue. Looks like Valefor but stronger."
"Oh.....how many aeons are there?"
"All in all? uhh.....8, not including Braska's aeon and counting the magus sisters as one."
"Tell me!" said ichigo, excitedly.
Alsce raised her eyebrows.
"About all of them? It'll take a while."
"I'm willing to listen." said Ichigo, sitting down. Alsce joined her.
"Ok...well, you met Valefor.....
"Then there's ifrit. He's a giant flame wolf. Very strong. Friendly. You can sit on his shoulder, actually."


"Ixion is a lightning unicorn, who, in my view, looks a bit like a giant flea. "
he's a bit flimsy...not my fav aeon.


"Shiva is ice in the form of a beautiful woman. Ans she has dreadlocks.....I like them....she actually has more of them than clothes."



"Yeh....I told you about Bahamut.He's the most powerful...to begin with."



"Yojimbo is a mercanary.....you have to pay him to attack. He has a really big hat to hide his face. He was a human once, but he be came an aeon when he died. Oh, he has a little dog Daigoro!"




"Anima.....I don't like to talk about Anima..." said Alsce.
"Oh, c'mon!" said Ichigo, really interested.
Alsce sighed and looked in the orange sunset.
"Imagine the most horrible pain you can ever feel, like all your limbs have been broken and forced into a knot on your back. But 1000 times worse. that is what anima feels, all the time. Anima is pain. The attacks anima uses.....well, the pain it causes people is so bad it usually kills them instantly. It's in chains when Anima is summoned. But when it uses it's over drive-that's a really strong attack all aeons have-...."
"YES!?"
"It is sent underground and released of the chains."
Ichigo blinked.
"it sounds horrible!"
Alsce smiled.
"Anima is a girl."
ichigo gasped.
"Weird! Tell me more."


"Well, then there's the Magus sisters, They dress like bugs. Cindy is fat and dresses as a ladybird. Mindy is small and dresses as a wasp. Sandy is tall and dresses as a dragonfly. They are really powerful-but they don't always do as they're told."

Ichigo smiled.
"And then.....there's Braska's aeon...the final aeon..." Alsce voice faltered as she spoke.
ichigo put arm round Alsce;s shoulder.
"What?"
"It kills the summoner when you summon it to destory sin." she whispered, tears spilling from her eyes.
"oh."
Alsce turned and sobbed into ichigo's shoulder.
"It's ok! You're here now! "
"But when i go back, i'll have to lose her! i don't want to lose her again!"
Ichigo blinked.
"You want to go back?" asked Ichigo.
Alsce looked up.
"Yeah. Of course."
ichigo looked down.
"I....thought you'd stay here with us, sis......"
Alsce shrugged.
"We'll see what happens. either way, I'll still sail to discover new worlds with you and the guys!"
Ichigo smiled.
"Ok! Let's seal on it!"
Ichigo and Alsce put up their hands and put their left hands togther.
"Thumb to thumb..."
The pressed the thumbs together, then got out that posistion and intertweined fingers.
"Palm to palm..."
The slapped their palms together.
"Fist to fist..."
They put their fists togther.
"Head to head!"
Ichigo and Alsce hit their foreheads together.
"Ok....let's go home now." said ichigo, as both of them stood up.
Alsce waved goodbye and they walked their different ways.
As she opened the door to her hut, she realised....
Ichigo had called her her sister.
*************
Marie opened her eyes.
She was laying in the middle of a middle-sized room, surrounded by shelves, crammed with books. There were a few portraits of more anthro mice, all in ancient-looking outfits. There was also a stool with a book and magnifying glass over it. A door was behind her.
Maire sat up. The carpet was soft uner her fingers.
There was a noise coming from the door.
She turned to see the mouse queen coming into the room.
"Oh, you're awake!" she said.
Marie nodded.
"I am Queen Minnie. You may not believe it, Marie, but you are here for a reason. A quest."
Marie shhok her head.
"Ok, I'm confused. Where am I? What is this quest? WHERE IS MY HOME?!"
"You are in Fantasia, the realm ruled over by King Mickey and I. However, the king has gone missing. We need you, and the court wizard Donald, and the captain of the guards Goofy, to go and find him. But to do that, you must go and find the holders of the keyblade and keycuffs. Your home was swallowed by a huge darkness named the
Heartless, evil creatures obsessed with capturing hearts of others, are there with it. It is your job with the fantasia blade to find them, and assist them."
Marie blinked.
Suddenly, blobs of liquid mercury appeared around her. They expanded from dust and grew to the size of her fist.
They all flew together and made a silver spiky giant key....thing.
Marie blinked.
"What is this?"
"It's a keyblade." said Minnie. She touched the handle and it turned red-but not hot-and orange.
Marie picked it up. It was very light, but powerful. She felt it inside herself.
Minnie smiled.
"Take care of it. Stay here, while I go and find Donald and Goofy...I shall return soon."
With that, she left.
Marie looked at it.
A force willed her to go and look at the huge book.
She obeyed it and went over there.
The book was massive, at least 5 ft by 3 ft. The writing was about 7 mm big. And was hand written with exaggeratedly looped writting.
'I suspect that is why they have the magnifying glass.' though Marie, idly looking at it.
She slowly lifted on page and turned it.
There was a crackling-the book was very old, and it seemed the pages might crumble in her fingers.
But she laid it gently and looked on the next page.
There was a well-done ink picture there, of three girls holding up keys to meet a point.
One had long hair, one had black hair, the last had middle-length hair.
The writing beneath it read:



The prophecy of the Keybladers:

one and one and one are three
The Triple bladers of the key
And if they banish the darkness sea
Then over lands there will be harmony
