*On a side note, the Anniversary event will last until December 11th.

*Going to push everyone to the beacon just to move the story along. One month was given so I think that;s fair*

With most everyone at the Beacon, Dreamer cleared his throat. "Yes... hello..." This was the first time Dreamer had appeared before them without leaving behind mystical, enigmatic sayings. From this point on, he would have to be direct and straight forward with the young teenagers in a very suitable and professional matter. "Yes. So...'sup everybody?" He said, striking peace signs in a boyband stance. There was not much reply to it as Dreamer stood there for an uncomfortably awkward amount of time. Bianca chuckled a bit as Bernard slapped his forehead in disapproval and out of embarrassment for the older man.

​

"Alright, well enough of that nonsense," Bernard claimed, hopping off from out of Dreamer's coat, he and Miss Bianca slid down Dreamer's cloak tassels and drew everyone's attention onto himself. Before the group stood two mice, ready to speak their thought.
"Yes, hello everyone, I am Bianca, and this is Bernard. We are part of a rescue organization, just like you little darlings!"
"Well no, I wouldn't exactly call them... y'know organized- I mean they don't have any paperwork or Society approval, I mean.. what are we even supposed to call them anyways?"
"SoS." Dreamer spoke out. He took a short breath as he finally found a good moment to chime in. "That was on the letter Yen Sid sent out to the small majority of you. On that letter the term SOS was inscribed for a reason. Now normally, it would be a simple call for a distress beacon. The distress call however specifically asked for a group of soldiers known as the SoS. Or... the SERVANTS OF SANCTUARY. An ancient group of dutiful keyblade wielders that Yen Sid was familiar with." He looked down to the two mice and introduced them. "These two mice are from a similar group that go from world to world helping others. The Rescue Aid Society. I figure that maybe they could travel alongside you, but at this current point in time, you all seem a bit defenseless to protect anyone right now... No offense." Dreamer shook his head afraid that he was rambling too much. "I took this Cornerstone from Disneytown, not to form it's demise, but to ensure it's revival. Every world has it's own core memory... something that preserves the memory of every person, place and thing in that world. I've sent Mickey and his friends on that quest in order to save the worlds. But they won't be able to do it alone for long... That's why I need you all to get your keyblades back as quickly as possible. The cornerstone will protect anyone in this area from heartless, but if you stand any chance at all you need to head into that castle. Mickey and his friends released her light side, but her darkness still remains. Luckily it still remains with all it's memory altering magic as well. If you can fight your demons, you're keyblades will be restored and you all can do what needs to be done..." He looked to them all and shrugged. "What are you just standing around for?... GO! You don't have much time."

Not many of them seemed to be moving. Dreamer sighed. He wanted to stick to his own responsibilities, but he needed their trust. "Look, it;s like this; this job of the uh... 'overseer of all worlds,'originally belonged to my brother. But he's gone now..." He took a small pause out of sadness. "And so I had to take up the mantle. But I can't do it along. DJ is helping Mickey, but they can't defend the light forever. They need help... your help. And I don't know if you were the masters that Yen Sid was searching for, but you're here now. You have a choice as to what you want to be. If you don't want to called a servant, that's fine. If you want to tell me to take a hike, that's fine too. But groups like the SoS were formed because of people like you. Strong hearted people that could defend those who couldn't defend themselves." He folded his arms. "I wish I was stronger. That I didn't need to rely on children. But the universe these days isn't as kind to that notion." He pointed to the castle.

"So if you're willing to fight for something bigger than yourselves. your key to salvation lies through those doors." The Castle towered over them in comparison. "I once asked you all very specific questions from past worlds. What wa most important to you, What you wanted out of life, and what you were afraid of. All things that this castle will show you... When you breach the opening doors, you will find a hall of doorways, You can only open one. And that door will take you to a memory of your home world. To test you in the most vulnerable of places... Where your heart lives. This castle is not kind, but remember... Your heart always remembers the connections you've made.

"What does that mean?" Hikaru spoke out.
"You'll see," Dreamer replied.
Hikaru looked down for a moment, bracing himself for whatever past demons he would need to face. "I failed a world more than once... I won't let it happen anymore." He trudged forward looking past all his traveling companions as he silently leaned against the doors, hearing a large creak from the rustic castle doors. Just as Dreamer had said, the castle was nothing but a hall of doors that spiraled all the way up.

​

V
HIKARU​

Hikaru looked at the huge lines of floors and doors. He walked down and saw his name under the 5th door. Right under the letter "V" read "HIKARU." The rest of the doors were all blank however. They had roman numerals, but not names could be seen. Perhaps it was more of Mizrabel's magic?...

He took a deep breath and looked at his door number. For most of his life seemed pleasant, he didn't know what demons slept within him. He pushed the door open...

THE STORY OF HIKARU​

/>/>

Hikaru's eyes widened in surprise. If this young girl had received the letter, then she must have been joruneying a different route than the core group. Since the days of Deep Jungle, he hadn't fully realized just how many other weilders may have gotten that letter and are still searching for them in the land of departure. A land that no loner exists in this timeline... Xara ended up in darkness, but this did give him a sliver of hope as to the fate of those in the realm of light. Since she described being an animal in an archery tournament, the only world that came to mind was perhaps Nottingham. He hadn't had time to fully catch up on Yen Sid's enchanted book, but the gist of her explanation seemed to match up pretty nicely. Maybe when they caught up with the others Kel could give shed some light on things.

On a seperate note, with the book gone, there wasn't much of a way to keep track of their progress. Their was the moogle; Jax, but he hadn't been seen since Disneytown. The more she spoke, he felt a little uncomfortable at being called their leader. Originally he wasn't even part of this group. He just wanted to look for his friend, and wound up caught in all the world traveling business. He was caught off guard once Ananta gave him a hug. Some one he'd barely interacted with was treating him like a friend. Something Hikaru still had to adjust to being a part of. Outside Kaida, he still needed to act more like a team player. "Thanks for protecting her, Xara. You can travel with us for as long as you need," he saluted with two fingers. She didn't want to rope too many people into a cause that was growing more and more difficult. Xara was one of the youngest wielders he'd come across and didn't want much harm to come to the younger kids. He turned to Ananta. "Not too much has happened since wasteland outside losing our keyblades." He rubbed his shoulder, wincing. "And, maybe a bit of our pride." He looked at the beam of light that had grown closer since their reunion. "Anyways, we should probably get to that beacon. If anyone is lost here, I'd bet they're probably going to the bright light."

Pete shook his head in disagreement while Donald was walking obviously the wrong way. Ducks aren't exactly the kind of people you should be following directions for. Unless maybe they're migrating south for the winter maybe...
"Oh no you don't! As Captain of the Royal Guard, I outrank you! And I say we go that-a-way!" Pete picked up Donald by the back of his shirt and turned him the other way, tossing him in the process. He marched along before stopping to see the green guppy-like creatures watching them. "Oh great, now I gotta deal with these toads now?! Can't a guy just catch a break?..." He sighed before picking up his big belly and taking center stage. He cleared his throat as if preparing a big announcement.
"Ahem! Attention all frog people! I am Captain Pete! And seeing as me and the duck ain't from 'round here, I order someone to explain just what in sam tucket is goin' on!" The merpeople lurched out, revealing their increased numbers. The growled and shoved each other, displeased by Pete's words. Pete stepped back cautiously, trying to mask it with more gruff talk. "Oh, so you think yer tough, ay?" He put up his dukes and was prepared to fight them all. "I ain't afraid of no toady frogs!!"

"In time my child, in time... You seem quite eager to face your demons," Dreamer responded to Beuce. "That castle belongs to one 'Mizrabel.' A witch with the power over memories." He led the teenager to the cornerstone of light, feeling the shame of his past transgressions. "Before I explain further, the rest of your group should be here to listen... There's much I need to tell you, and not much time to do it." He looked to the castle and sighed. "Let's just say that this castle shall be either your salvation, or your demise."

Hikaru slumped behind Glen as he briskly jogged to catch up with the him. It didn't take long to see that he had already found two other people amidst the darkness. "Glen," he breathed heavily. "Please don't run too far ahead..." He waved to the two, who'm he thankfully managed to recognize. "Ananta?" he asked looking at her. He caught wind of Glen's reaction to her Blizzard spell. "Nice to see at least our magic is returning at a small pace... Anyways, it's good to see you again. I don't know what happened to you after Wasteland... where did you end up going?" He looked to the other smaller girl, who looked just about Mizu's age. "And I don't think we've beeing introduced. My name is Hikaru... and you are?..." He squinted, trying to remember where he last saw her, but nothing came to memory.

Get hype!

In another part of the castle, there sat a group of three merpeople were surrounded the precious gems they had found scattered around the Atlantis-like ancient setting. They were both ocean-like in color. The Indigo and Blue gems shimmered from the salt water that dripped alongside them. The green fish people were surrounded in a setting with broken pillars and traces of seaweed. It looked like it was a sunken coliseum of sorts that they had situated themselves in. Surrounded by a lake of water, they grunted and croaked at the precious gems they had discovered. They communicated to each other with shoving and tiled heads at why Mizrabel wanted to find such precious items. One looked intently at them as he touched them both. A light began to emit from each gem as the merman jumped back in horror. The other two grabbed him as they ducked for cover behind the pillars, not sure what would happen. The lights grew brighter until two of the Disneytown residents emerged; One Donald Duck. And Pete.
@Glen

Pete landed on his bottom, shaking his hands in disgust from the salt water all over his hands. His face was still pretty dazed, trying to get his blurred vision back. He shook his head until he could see clearly. "Oooh! My aching' head..." He looked around until his vision locked on Donald. "Wha? Hey! you! Small fry!" He slapped the back of the duck\s head to get him out of the same daze. What the heck are we doin' in this run down water park!"

In a toyland of sorts, sat the jack in the box. A horrific clown face attached to a large spring, wearing a bowler hat and nothing else. His body was just a crank box and he always had a creepy smile on his face. This was the Jack-In-The-Box. One of Mizrabel's castle of illusion. His head bounced in a jovial fashion as his nutcracker guards slugged along, carrying two giant gems. One orange and the other green.
"Ahh, perfect! Mizrabel will certainly be gleaming with color!!! Hahaha! I can practically see her face... gleaming! HAHAH!" The guards looked to each other and shrugged, not understanding their master's puns.
"Oh what do you know?! Just put the gems on the ground. Whatever we do, we must not activate them. No doubt that mouse is still scurrying around the castle trying to find them." The guards walked over towards the Jack-In-The-Box only to trip over their own wooden feet. They fell over a top of one another and the gems rolled along, emitting a glow. "What? No! They can't activate. This is definitely turning my crank the wrong way!!" The lights grew brighter until Goofy popped out of the green gem onto the pair of trampled guards. Max goof popped out of the orange gem onto his own two feet.

"Now look what you've done!" The Jack-in-The-Box scolded.

With Daisy now in the party, the four were left with two doors in front of them. One with a hammer on the front, and the other with a dragon. It was uncertain which their friends would be in, but hopefully the four could work out a good solution...

Hikaru's shoulder had mended a bit since his confrontation with Aux, but it was far fully healed. Since his decent into the realm of darkness, the only other member of his traveling party he had come across was Glen. While he got to understand him a bit better during their time in the Wasteland, they never had a deep one on one with each other.

As he walked with a heavy heart, he heard Glen talk back to him. "Hey Hikaru, what do you think the others are doing right now?" He thought about everyone that had gone into darkness with them with a head count nearing about a dozen. "Well," he said softly. "If they're like us, then they're probably trying to find a way out of here." He looked around for any sign of refuge or at least a meeting ground they could all re-assemble to. "I'm a little worried though... Since we don't have our keyblades there isn't a lot we can do to defend ourselves from the heartless." He looked at his hands and lamented that he couldn't summon they keyblade he'd fought with during this time. "On the other hand, heartless shouldn't give us too much trouble since we don't have our keyblades." Hikaru recalled how heartless drew themselves to light. Something that always put them in the line of fire before. "So hopefully if we just keep a low profile, they shouldn't be of much bother to us."

He looked to Glen who was still in his own thoughts while he was explaining their situation. He was about to ask him something before a beam of light broke in the distance. A giant pillar that stretched as high as the eye could see. "Well, I think we've spent enough time in here. Last one to escape's a stinky black fungus!" he called out, before breaking into a run towards the beacon. Hikaru jogged at a brisk pace to keep up with him, still trying to keep any excess weight off his shoulder. He didn't know if this beacon was a good omen or a bad one, but it was the only sign they could find.

​

Not even a few months after their journey began, the party of weilders find themselves scattered in darkness. In small numbers, they now travel towards a beacon to reconvine and plan their next move...

I usually pick up water starters. But I don't know something about this grass type really speaks to me

"Falling into darkness is like falling into the ocean.
If you don't swim, you'll sink.
If you swim too far, you'll be lost...

But you'll never be lost,
So long as you have a light to guide the way."​

I'm honestly drawing a blank on that quote... Sounds like a re-worded "Wherever you go I'm always with you" quote
It sounds more like Alyson stoner though. Maybe it's just for the trailer.

Oh geez, I smiled so wide when I saw this on my feed.
I think it causes so much feels just because the imagery of Aqua's friends all ways out of reach. They really like to hammer that in. That aside, I really love just some of the images they gave us. Ventus-Vanitas and Terranort in close up HD. The BBS Trio holding hands as they fall through the sky. The thirteen darknesses on their pillars.

Lot of moments that can be made into signatures or avatars. (Hint, hint)

D'aaaaw, look how ready for combat he is :P

EPILOGUE: CONTINGENCIES
"SECRET ENDING #5"


The beacon to guide them​

Mickey Mouse found himself in the dark in both the figurative and literal sense. What was he doing there? He didn't know. What just made that spine-tingling sound right behind him!? He didn't know that either! All that did go through his mind was shouted aloud in panic,

"I gotta get out of here!!!" he hollered, throwing his arms up and using his hands to shield his eyes from the eyes in the dead trees which seemed to be peering down at him. Eyes were everywhere he looked. There was no escape. Everything was out to get him, and everything from logs in the water to shadows between the trees was alive. Racing for his very life, Mickey dashed over dirt path and hurdled over exposed roots. Hostile sounds were closing in on him. There seemed to be no escape!

That was the case until he saw a breakage in the woods. The trees cleared away to reveal a castle, dimly illuminated in the moonlight. Dare he go closer to it? The woods were not so welcoming, so there was no option for him. He ventured on, dashing as fast as his feet could carry him. He scarce noticed the ground below his feet start to feel more like cloud than terrain. His eyes were fixated on the castle.

He only hesitated once he got to its mighty doors. Tender-footed, Mickey knocked at the door and shrank away. He only hoped the Master of the Castle was home; or maybe it was better if they weren't. Such a forboding air hung about the place.

"H-Hello? Is anyone there? I've been lost in the woods nearby, and I-I need a place to stay for the night."

Light footsteps were heard as a man in a white Cloak exited the woods and showed up behind Mickey. "There you are," The voice spoke from behind the mouse. "I was wondering where you had scampered off too." He glided along the dust filled pathway as he made an abrupt stop before looking down at him through his hood. His stature was much smaller in comparison, as he towered over him.

"You look confused... well that's to be expected I guess." He extended his hands wide in a gracious greeting. "You may call me Dreamer. And while I may not seem it, believe me... I am a friend." He went down on one knee with his cloak flowing along to reveal white pants and boots beneath the white coat.

"I understand you must have a lot of questions, and we'll have time for all of them." He reach into his coat pocket and pulled out a glowing red crystal. "But for now, we have a bigger task to deal with it." He lowered the crystal into mickey's hands to get a better view of it. An evil sorceress has imprisoned nine people inside this castle, including Minnie and several of your other friends. Her ability to manipulate memory is preventing me to rescue them myself. I'm powerless in there..." He looked down on himself, while the red crystal shimmered in Mickey's hands. "That there is the Red Crystal Gem. It holds the very essence of some one you know. It is a set of seven that a witch has created after capturing your friends." Mickey recalled this memory after he and the other wielders left Wasteland. Without keyblades to protect them, they were left victim to the witch's scheme as she fled with Minnie, Pluto, Donald, Goofy, Daisy, Pete, Max and Oswald. Mickey could only wonder who resided in the red gem. Dreamer got off his knee and stared up at the looming castle. "And right now they are all trapped until they can be saved... Do you understand so far?..."

"Gosh, I'm not sure," Mickey responded, holding the red crystal like a carefully guarded treasure. "The essence of someone I know, huh? Well, who is it? And just how do I get them out of there? Are they okay? Oh no! Is Minnie alright?" His questions grew more anxious the more he asked, clapping one hand over his head when the stress became too much. It was a lot to take in, and it looked like, once again, it was up to him to save his friends.

More steadily, Mickey furrowed his brow and looked up to the man in the white coat with stern understanding.

"You just tell me what I have to do to put a stop to her and help my friends. I imagine they're counting on me, and I can't let'em down."

"Give it time Mickey... I know you'll save them all." He looked at the strange design of the castle. "With each gem you find, some one will return to you. But they are currently sleeping in a core memory. You see, everything that is or ever was, can be salvaged with a memory. And that's what this castle is Mickey. Memories and Illusions designed to tamper with your mind. The sorceress can not be so easily defeated. She is protected by five guardians. Each more powerful than the last." He looked back to the crystal in Mickey's hands. "But with the help of those trapped in the gems, I know you'll find your way..." He walked alongside with Mickey to where he revealed the Cornerstone of Light in a small clearing.

"Is that-"
"Yes," Dreamer affirmed. "The symbol of light to ward of the darkness. Or in the eyes of others. The Core Memory to restoring Disneytown."

He began to walk away from the castle and looked up as he dove into thought. "You always do," he sighed. "But you won't be alone. While the witch has prevented my interference, you'll have the help of that friend. The higher you climb, the more friends you will free. But be careful... This castle also pits you against your darkness and most hidden fears."

He stood parallel from Mickey and looked to him. "Remember that the castle won't let you leave until you've conquered your darkness and saved your friends... Your mission ends once all 10 of you are safely united."

"All ten. I got it. Thanks for all your help,--- I --- I guess I call you Dreamer." Mickey did not take the mystery man's words lightly. "I figure I got some danger ahead of me, huh? And I'll have ta keep an open mind to make sure I don't fall for any of those illusions ya mentioned." He faced the door, gripped the crystal tight, and ventured in.

Dreamer watched him leave as he then set his sights on the Cornerstone that he had taken from Disneytown. Quick flashes of worlds falling into darkness swarmed his mind. He sighed as he placed one of his white gloved hands onto the sentient orb of light. "I just hope I know what I'm doing..." His hand dragged down from the glass totem as he wandered about the pathway. In front of him stood stood a dark, and poorly lit castle of darkness.

"You shouldn't be so hard on yourself," a small hungarian woman's voice echo. "I'm sure Mickey will do just fine." from at the base of his foot, he found two small mice left from the Cornerstone's base and walked forward. A small and slender mouse with white fur and a purple cap and bow around her neck smiled. Behind her was a bucktoothed, portly grey mouse with a red sweater and brown cap. "Geez did you look at the size of that fella," the male spoke. "And they say I'm big," he looked at his stomach in dismay. "Oh Bernard, hush!" the female mouse spoke out.

Dreamer looked in awe at the two smile mice. "I suppose you two are stowaways. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to remove you from that world."
"Oh that wasn't our world, I mean did you see the noses on some of those people- ridiculous!" Bernard stammered when he talked, still in disbelief of how cartoonish a lot of them seemed. "But yeah, Miss Bianca and I are from the uh- Rescue Aid Society."
"Rescue Aid Society?" Dreamer repeated.
"We never fail to do what's right," both exclaimed.
"We are delegates from a small organization of mice that go from world to world, answering calls of help from children in distress."
The mission of these mice touched dreamer. He offered his hand and lifted them both up to match his hooded eye level. "That's a very noble cause. I believe I may be able to help."
"Whoa whoa there mister, not a an inch closer!"
"But Bernard, he seems like a good enough man."
"No good man would cover himself in a hood. That's for criminals!" he argued.
"I assure you, I hide my identity for only the best of reasons. I'm just like you. Trying to head the call of those who need help. Because in a way... I feel connected to them."
Bianca looked concerned as she looked at Bernard who let his guard lower. "Alright, so what's your plan then?"
"Mickey will fight his way to freeing his friends. After that, they can hopefully begin to help those in need. I have a friend whose working on getting them a vessel as we speak."
"Well, I'm sure the Mouse guy will get the job done. Us mice always do," Bernard sniffed pretentiously as he adjusted his sweater.
Dreamer put the two mice on his shoulder. "If you two are still working on your mission to help the worlds, I have a group of young rescuers who could use a few extra hands."
"Well are they associated with the R.A.S? There are proper channels for these kinds of things you know. There are forms, and-and- documents-"
"We will be glad to help where we can" Bianca volunteered.
"Excellent. Mickey will save his friends, but they alone cannot defeat Mizrabel's darkness.That will be a job for the weilders of the key."
"Right, the key kids... So how are they gonna do that? Last we saw, they didn't have anything to protect themselves."
"The keyblade is a powerful weapon Bernard. It lies dormant in the strongest of hearts. Mizrabel's powers of illusion will likely challenge them for their hearts. And that is where their will shall be tested. They will be forced into completing three trials as they dive into the most sacred part of their hearts; What is most important to them... What they want out of life... And their greatest fear."
"But mister Dreamer, how will they find their way here?" Bianca questioned.
"Yeah, last we saw those kids got all split up in limbo."

Dreamer placed his hand back on the cornerstone. The light inside began to burn brightly as a large pillar extended to as high as the eye can see. "Even in the darkest depths, people can always find their way with the help of a beacon."
