-Let's have a beach part- Sora couldn't finish his sentence before Kairi kissed him completely, and he lost his train of thought.
Riku swung Roxy around in a circle, then held her up while smiling. It hadn't been long since they left Destiny Island, but during this short while he was the happiest he had ever been.
After their dance, they made a fire & waited for Rapunzel & her guy to come back unto shore.
Aaron looks around, lost in the dark
"P-please....I'm so alone without you....I....I'm so lost...."
The voice chuckles
"Of course you are. You're weak....you're pathetic....you couldn't even save me....you should have died all those years ago..."
Aaron's pupils constrict considerably. This was NOT what he expected the voice to say.
"Wh-what...? How c-could you...? How could you say that?! Th-that's not the Naoto I fell in love with!"
Kairi smiled and placed another kiss to Sora's cheek. "I dont mind a beach party." She smiled and looked over to Riku and Roxy who stood together with butterflies in their tummies.
Roxy felt like she was the happiest girl on the planet. She sat next to Riku and Kairi next to Sora resting their heads on to the boys shoulders, looking at the bonfire and waited for Rapunzel and the guy.
Rapunzel and Flynn made their way into land. Flynn told her to wait and he said that he would be right back again. However he hold the bag where the crown are.
The blonde girl waited with Pascal for Flynn Rider to return.
The voice starts to laugh again
"Oh really? if I'm not the one you loved, then tell me; who is? Was it the nice, caring girl who you met back in highschool? Well, I have news for you. She's long dead by now, so just man up and deal with it you stupid, useless, INSUFFERABLE MAN!"
Aaron falls to his knees, his head hung low. It destroyed him inside to hear her say that. He speaks in a low, raspy voice
"Y-you....you're not....my Naoto.....j-just....just go......"
Flynn Rider took off with another boat and had the crown with him. However from the distance Rapunzel was on, she couldn't see that the young man was was tied on to the boat. Tears stream up in her green eyes she felt like that her heart broke into pieces.
Two muscular men walked up to the girl and she was sure afraid.
They spoke to each other and looked like to be twins. They had a sack with them and was about to grab Rapunzel and threw her in it, but the girl ran fast away, jumping over a tree stump that was lying on the ground, while she jumped over, her long braid tangled itself into the tree stamp. Her heart beat was up in her ears she struggle to get her hair free.
But at that moment someone knocked the two men down. Rapunzel's eyes went wide when she saw her mother standing there breathing heavily her black and curly hair a mess and sure was she looking worried about her daughter.
"Rapunzel, my dear are you hurt? I was so worried, I looked everywhere for you!" Mother Gothel spoke even tho she was behind all of this. Rapunzel let the tears run down her face and she was glad to see her mother. Gothel reached her arms out for Rapunzel and the girl runned up to her and hugged her mother tight crying in to her shoulder.
"Dear, let's go home." The old lady stroked the blonde girl on her head hold her arm around Rapunzel, and made their away back to the tower. By the time they walked pass by a blonde guy who was on the ground. Gothel on the other hand growled of sigh of other people around here in her woods, she walked faster with Rapunzel.
The voice teased Aaron
"Go away? Why would I do that? You haven't even seen my face yet, dear!"
As she comes into view, he sees his wife, but much different. She was in the outfit she was wearing when she was killed. There was a stab wound in her abdomen. Half her face was shadowy and whispy, one of her eyes glowing bright yellow. Various other patches of her body were shadowy.
Aaron's world collapses around him. He was horrified to see her body so mangled and violated. All he could think of was "This is my fault". He screams loud enough for the gang to hear
"GET AWAY FROM ME!!!"
Riku woke up to some strange sound. It almost sounded like a scream. -Roxy, Kairi, Sora. Wake up. Everyone rose their heads from their momentary slumber.
-Did you guys hear that?
Sora looked around curiously -I didn't hear anything, huh. Must have been the wind.
Riku suddenly realized that they'd made a mistake.
-Where's Rapunzel?! Should'nt they have been back by now?! Riku darted up, trying to localize anything in the dark night.
-You're right! Let's go find her & that guy. They should have gone ashore by now!
The four friends started to move down to where Rapunzel had departed with Flynn.
Mother Gothel sat beside Rapunzel on the end of her bed and was taking off the last flower from her hair, dropping it to the basket she hold.
"Now dear, I will make hazelnut soup for you, your favorite." Mother Gothel said and walked to the door, she looked back at the blonde waiting for an answer. Rapunzel didnt glance at her mother, only down at her hands which she hold on her lap.
"I have always tried to tell you Rapunzel. The world is dark, selfish and cruel." Gothel spoke, she did just described herself for Rapunzel, and walked out from her room.
Rapunzel looked at her hands and inside her palm she hold a cloth of fabric with a sun on, she looked at it and landed on the bed, letting out a deep sigh while she looked above the bed are a few of those sun symbols that's the same she hold in her hand of the fabric.
Rapunzel got up and looked closely, she remember the sun symbol from before in the Kingdom and the picture on the stone wall from before with the king, queen and their daughter. Now Rapunzel knew what was going on, she tripped over to her desk and almost fell, a few of her things landed on the floor, which made sounds that Mother Gothel heard.
"Rapunzel, what is going on up there?" She asked walking up the stairs which lead to Rapunzel's bedroom.
"Are you alright?" She asked when Rapunzel walks out from her bedroom facing her mother with a shock impression on her face.
"I am the lost princess..." Rapunzel murmured under her breath, Gothel sighed annoyed.
"Please speak up, Rapunzel! You know how I hate the mumbling." Gothel spoke and highed her voice.
"I am the lost princess! Aren't I?" Rapunzel asked and looked at her so called "mother". Mother Gothel eyes went wide, she didn't expect to hear Rapunzel say that.
"Did I mumble mother? Or should I even call you that?" Rapunzel asked and narrowed her eyes at the black haired lady. Gothel however chuckles and walked up to Rapunzel.
"Oh, Rapunzel do you even hear yourself? Why would you ask such a ridiculous question?" The woman spoke and was about to hug the girl but Rapunzel pushed her away.
"It was you! It was all you..." Rapunzel spoke, her breating her lungs was like it was taken away form her. Gothel narrowed her eyes at the girl. "Everything I did, was to protect you."
Rapunzel shakes her head and pushed her mother in the wall and walked down the stairs. Her mother following behind.
"I have spent my entire life hiding from people, who would use me for my power?" Rapunzel spoke with irretation in her voice and narrowed eyes. "Rapunzel!"
"When I should have been hiding, from you." Rapunzel turned around facing her mother, and fisted her hands tight. Gothel walked up to her.
"Where will you go, he wont be there for you. That criminal is going to be hanged for his crimes." Rapunzels eyes went wide, and she couldn't believe what Gothel just said.
"N-no..." She breathed and looked down at the ground, while Mother Gothel walked up to her.
"Now, now it's alright listen to me. All of this is as it should be." Gothel said as she reached her hand to the girls head. But Rapunzel grabbed her wrist in time and looked her in the eyes.
"No! You were wrong about the world! You were wrong about me! And I will never, let you use my hair again!" Rapunzel yelled and Gothel bringed her arm back with a rush, as she backed away from the girl. While she did, she tripped over a large mirror that stood behind her. It fell to the ground and and glass pieces was shattered all over the floor.
"You wan't me to be the bad guy? Fine, now I am the bad guy."
A large group of guards from the kingdom took the man who was togheter with Rapunzel before. Soon they was quickly out from sight from the keyblade weilders.
"You guys, I have a bad feeling." Roxy spoke up, she could feel something is not right, Kairi nods and felt it too.
-Okay, we need to narrow down where to search, Riku concluded quickly
Sora stood still for a second, thinking to himself -Yeah, we need to split up to find them quicker. Roxy, Kairi, you go back to the Tower. Me and Riku will go to the city to search for them, maybe someone has seen them!
Riku nodded, affirming the situation -We'll meet back here, okay?
Roxy and Kairi nods and agreed to the plan they have.
"Be careful, both of you." Roxy said and looked at the boy's who smiled to them and ran to the city.
While Kairi and Roxy ran to the forest.
As Aaron was on his knees there, the dark Naoto laughs at him.
"You really are pathetic, aren't you? You refuse to deal with your problems, and instead you choose to run from them. Be a man for once in your life you damned fool!"
Aaron starts to scream again
"G-GET AWAY FROM ME! Y-YOU'RE A M-M-MONSTER!"
He stands back up, but then stumbles backwards, falling on his rear end. He tries to crawl away, looking terrified. The Dark Naoto keeps laughing
The girls made their way to the Tower, and no one was around to be seen.
"Rapunzel, are you up there?" Roxy and Kairi called, but got no answer the window was closed and seem to be lucked. They couldn't see from the far distance.
"Rapunzel? We are here! Where are you?" The two girls called her name out but then the windows opend and golden hair flew down. Kairi and Roxy looked at echoter and nodded their heads, climbing up with the hair as help.
Roxy was first up and jumped in to the room. It was dark and she couldn't see a thing inside here. Right in that moment when she had jumped in the room, she could feel pain which stabbed right in to her flesh by the side of her gut. She cried out in pain and falled to the cold ground. She grabbed a hold of the sharp thing that stabbed her, and she threw it out from her flesh.
"No! No!" Rapunzel cried out, but she had something covering her mouth from be able to screaming or talk. Metal sounds was heard and she was tied up in chains from her wrist.
Kairi jumped fast in when she heard her friend cry out and Rapunzel's voice.
"Roxy? Rapunzel?!" Kairi looked around the room and find her friend just by the window, a bloody knife that was beside her. Her hands was bloody and the wound keept on bleeding covering a part of her clothing in blood stains.
"Oh no, hang on!" Kairi fall down next to her friend, who hold her hands pressed against the deep wound. The woman walked up to the girls and showed her face by the moon light. Not but only was it Mother Gothel herself. She had a wide and evil grin on her face. Kairi narrowed her eyes when she knew this woman was behind this.
"Tsk, that was not him, I supposed you to be that, Flynn Rider." Gothel spoke and Rapunzel struggled to get free from the metal chains.
"Come now Rapunzel!" Gothel walked back to the blonde and took a hold of the metal chains, that Rapunzel have around her wrists and dragged her to the exit. But the blonde stuggled and she wouldnt stop.
"Let Rapunzel go! You monster." Roxy spoke up with some energy she have left, and narrowed her eyes at Mother Gothel, who begins to chuckles coldly.
"What do you think you can do? You're dying. Come now, Rapunzel! Stop fighting me!" Gothel yelled at Rapunzel, who she tried to drag away with by the chains. But the girl stuggeld even more.
Rapunzel finally get the bandage from her lips off her face and she was able to speak. "No! I won't ever stop fighting the rest of my life, to get away from you!" She yelled, but breathed out and catched her breath.
"But, if you let me save her, I will go with you. I will never run, I will never try to escape. It will be how it always was, if you just let me heal her. I promise, just like what you want." Rapunzel spoke with a caring heart looking at Mother Gothel, who raised an eyebrow at the blonde young girl. But she let her go and do it.
Rapunzel runned up to Roxy and Kairi. Kairi had tears in her violet eyes and looked up at Rapunzel who runned over and slided down next to them. The pink haired girl was losing her color of life, but she looked up at them both smiling weakly.
"Rapunzel, don't do it. You will n-never be free, if you save me." Roxy said and closed her eyes biting down her lip, while it was growing painfull to speak. Rapunzel took a hole mess of her blonde hair and hold it over the wound on Roxy’s waist.
"Flower gleam -" But Rapunzel was cutted off, when Roxy had taken the knife that Gothel had stabbed her with, and she cut Rapunzel's hair off.
She hold her hands up to her neck where her hair now ends and she looked when the hair infront of her turned into a dark brown color. All the blonde was completly gone and it's power.
"No, no, no!" Gothel yelled while she picked up Rapunzel's long hair that was now without it's power. She was by the minute growing older, older and older.
She looked herself in the mirrow and screamd of how awful she was looking by this moment. She tripped on her own feet and fell down the window with a long scream. When the woman hitted the ground only dust was left and the black cape.
"No, no, Roxy! Stay with us!" Kairi spoke load and clapped Roxy's cheeks, the girl was pale and cold. Kairi couldn't belive what was happening.
Tears begun to tan down her cheeks, as Kairi sobbed upon Roxy's now lifeless body.
Rapunzel was shocked, it was so new to her. She just got a good friend and now she losed her. "Why, she sacrificed herself for me..."
Rapunzel grabbed Roxy's now ice cold hand and tears runned up in her green eyes.
"Heal what has been hurt, change the Fates' design. Save what has been lost. Bring back what once was mine. What once was mine." Rapunzel sang the healing song and sobbed.
The Dark Naoto grabbed Aaron by the collar, and threw him into a tree. He smacks into it, and falls to the ground. She keeps wailing on him for quite awhile. After she's done beating him, she drags him to the tower. She holds him up as she stands near the door
As the three girls have their confrontation with Mother Gothel, Sora & Riku had already searched throughout the city for Rapunzel. They didn't find the girl, but they did find the guy. And his name was "Flynn Rider".
-Is it just me or is Flynn Rider not your real name? Riku asked while trying to catch his breath.
Flynn, running next to Riku, turned his head and smiled -Well, you saved me so i think i owe you that much. No, it's not my real name.
-That's a shame, i think it sounds cool! Sora exclaimed with a grin on his face. -Still, what's your real name then?
-Well, thanks. I might tell you later on after we've saved Rapunzel. Flynn turned very serious -Let's hurry!
Suddenly, Riku could feel a sharp pain in his abdomen. He started sweating profusely
-Something is wrong! We must go faster! Riku stressed
The three men arrived at the tower. They could hear Rapunzel's voice, repeating a hymn or & what sounded like a spell.
Something was very wrong.
Riku didn't have time to run up stairs. He summoned his keyblade & summoned most of the power he had left in him, and jumped as hard as he could. He reached the top of the tower with a good margin.
He stood in the opening - And looked down on the three girls on the floor.
-Roxy!
He ran forward, knelt down & picked her upper body up with his right arm. Sora was at the opening now too, Flynn Rider on his back.
-Kairi! Rapunzel!
Aaron is beaten and bloodied. His once-handsome face is now barely recognizable Dark Naoto keeps holding him up
Kairi looked up at Sora her eyes swollen from crying, Rapunzel let the tears ran down her cheeks. She looked at Flynn and Sora then down at Roxy.
"She sacrificed herself for me, so I could get my freedom..." Rapunzel spoke with a shaking voice, and more tears ran in her deep green eyes.
"This can't be... It just can't." Kairi cried and looked down, while she fisted her hands tight in her lap.
Aaron is barely living. Dark whisps start climbing up his arm.
Well.
What was it that all magical stories had in common when there was a person in dire straits? Riku knew, and he didn't hesitate.
He set his lips in perfect syncronization with Roxy's, he went for it.
The kiss was powerful, it was warm & full of love. He knew Roxy would feel it & he knew it would work. For what power, other than love, can reach through time & space?
Nothing. Only love has that power. He didn't stop kissing her. He kept is lips on hers, locked tight.
He thought he felt a twitch in her hand.
The darkness keeps crawling up his arms. It reaches his face, and his eyes turn Yellow
A bright light appeared around them both and Roxy's heart start beating again, air fills in to her lungs and her colors come back.
The deep wound she had is now completely healed. Love is stronger then any kind of magic.
She gently placed her hand on his cheek and slowly opend her eyes. All the warm surrounding and love that she felt, she knew only one person who have all those feelings for her.
