Chapter 13: Reunited, Reincarnation, and Five Guardians

The World That Never Was...

"So, you even failed to grab Kairi?" Maleficent asked after Alessa reported back to her.

"I'm sorry." said Alessa, apologetically. Her wings had vanished after she arrived.

"We will just have to get her another time." Maleficent murmured before walking away, but stopped. She held out her hand, "Alessa, come."

Alessa took the witch's hand and she began leading her away. The two entered a chamber where there were four capsules standing against the wall with four girls in them, eyes closed. Not dead, but not conscious.

"Four down and three to go." said Alessa as she looked at the Princesses sleeping inside. They were Aurora, Alice, Snow White, and Jasmine. Maleficent looked at Alessa and saw her eyes.

"Were you crying?" the witch asked, suspiciously.

"No, I wasn't. Why do you ask?" Alessa asked as she kept her eyes on the princesses.

"Your eyes, they're red." Maleficent pointed out. Alessa turned and looked at the witch.

"Well, I was hit in the head with a rock." She replied as she rubbed her head.

"Very well, go, to your room and rest. I have a surprise for you there." Maleficent said.

"Yes, Maleficent." Alessa bowed before she walked out of the chamber and went to her dark room.

"So, she failed again?" said Octopus lady.

"The Kings fools are on their way to your world, Morgana." said Maleficent. She looked at a hologram that showed Donald and Goofy's Gummi Ship.

"I'd better go then." said octopus lady now known as Morgana. Then she left without another word.

"She's fighting it." said V.R as she appeared with Carl beside her. "The darkness does not completely have control on her and neither do I."

"We will have to resort to our back-up plan, it seems." Maleficent stated.

"Looks like it." said Carl.

Alessa walked in her room. It was dark and all that was in there was a bed and a chair with someone sitting in it...wait someone sitting? Alessa surrounded her hand with fire to light up the room and saw two people looking back at her. One was a boy and the other a girl, who sat in the chair. Both seemed slightly taller than she was.

The boy had black hair with blood red streaks, and his eyes were black with a little red in them. He wore a red muscle shirt, with black baggy pants and a black trench coat that goes to his ankles and read fingerless gloves. He had several piercings in his ears.

The girl had dark hair and icy, white eyes. She wore a black skirt, chains hanging in random places, a black kimono top over a red strapless top, a dog collar and a vampire blood medallion on her neck. She had no shoes, but had fishnet stockings clearly visible. A black mask was in her hand and gloves with metal knuckles. Fangs slightly showed from her upper lip.

Alessa knew exactly who they were. They grew up with her in her old home world before she went to the Zodiac world. Alessa walked towards them. The girl stood up , smiling at her with open arms, which Alessa went into and held her tightly. The boy just smiled at the two as they hugged.

"I thought you forgot about me. You never answered any of my letters." Alessa cried on the girl's shoulders. "Why didn't you answer my letters, Yukino?"

"We never got them." said the girl, Yukino. Alessa looked up at her childhood friend.

"You never got-"

"No, we didn't" The boy said cutting her off. "We thought you'd forgotten about us."

"Jet." Alessa gave him a hug,"How could I forget any of you?"

"We know, Maleficent found us at the Magical World. Your old home." said Yukino.

"What about the others?" Alessa asked.

"She's helping us look for them. Ever since Voldemort came back, we've been separated. I found Yukino and we've stuck together ever since." said Jet.

"Causing trouble as usual right?" asked Alessa.

"You know us." said Yukino with a grin, "Well, mostly Jet anyway."

"Alessa." Alessa turned and saw Carl and V.R standing at her door. "Maleficent wants you to go with Morgana."

"But-"

"It's fine, you go." said Jet. He looked at the two, as did Yukino. They did not trust either of Maleficent's cronies.

"Fine." Alessa looked at her friends and smiled. Then she was surrounded by fire and vanished as the flames died down.

"What did you do to our friend?" growled Yukino.

"The same thing we will do to you." said Maleficent when she walked in. She smiled as she looked at Alessa's two friends.

Back at Radiant Garden...

Sora and company were at Merlin's house and Kyo had just got finished telling everyone what Alessa had said.

"Who's V.R.?" Sora asked, looking at Lily.

"Don't look at me. The only person who went by initials was T.M.R." Lily said, "And he was a villain...who also happens dead."

"T.M.R?" asked Kairi, clearly confused.

"Tom Marvolo Riddle, or Voldemort." Lily explained.

"Your enemy?" Kairi asked.

"Old enemy, he's dead." Lily corrected.

"What's the Princess of Darkness gotta do with the Seven Princesses of Light?" asked Yuffie.

"From what the King said, she's supposed to bring chaos and destruction when put together with them." said Sora.

"There's got to be more to it" said Leon. He leaned against the wall.

"Hey, what's this?" asked Kairi. She picked up a charm. It had a wand on it.

"That looks like a summoning charm." said Sora, taking the charm and looking it over.

"It is a summoning charm." Merlin confirmed. He took it from Sora, "Well, I'll be, he's an old friend of mine."

"Who is it?" asked Aerith.

"Lily would probably know." Merlin gave the charm to Lily. Lily looked at it carefully.

"Impossible." said Lily when she figured it out. She gave it back to Kairi.

"What?" asked Kairi, taking the charm.

"You'll find out later." Lily said.

"Let's go talk to Tron." said Leon as he walked to the door, "Maybe we can find out more."

"Okay, let's go." said Sora.

"Who's Tron?" Lily asked.

"No idea." Kairi replied. They followed Leon. But not before asking Cid if he could fix up the Gummi Ship.

They headed towards the castle to Ansem's computer which was in his lab.

"That's Tron?" asked Saya. She pointed at the huge computer.

"Yep." said Sora. He walked towards the computer and started typing.

"Is that you, Sora?"asked a voice.

"Hey, Tron." Sora spoke to the computer. "How've you been?"

"I've been good. You?" Tron answered.

"Fine. Just fighting heartless and trying to stop Maleficent...again." Sora said.

"What do you need?" Tron asked.

"We need to know more about the Princess of Darkness." Sora replied.

"Did you say 'Princess of Darkness'?" Tron asked, voice sounding concerned.

"Yes. You heard of her?" Sora asked.

"Ansem was doing research on her as well as the Seven Princesses and the Heartless." Tron explained.

"Can you tell us anything?" asked Kairi. "Other than she's a princess that brings chaos?"

"One second..." The computer made beeping noises.

"There's one thing I don't get." said Lily.

"And what's that?" asked Sora.

"How is Alessa a princess?" Lily asked, "We're not from a royal family."

"Maybe she was in a past life?" Kairi suggested.

"Maybe Tron would know." said Sora.

"The Princess of Darkness has five guardians." said Tron.

"Guardians? For what?" asked Lily.

"To protect her and fight by her side. Even sacrifice themselves. These ones are suppose to be close to her."

Lily thought it over before asking, "Would you know who they are?"

"Yes, Ansem was doing research on them as well. He knew who each one was including the princess." Tron said. The computer made more beeping noises. Then a picture of a boy popped up. The boy had black hair with red streaks. "Jet: Has the power of fire and wind. Weapon: a sword." Another picture popped up. It was a girl with dark hair and rather prominent fang, "Yukino: has vampiric powers and the power of darkness. Can summon any creature of the night. Weapons: a scythe, dual swords, and a katana." Each of their weapons appears next to their pictures.

"All those weapons?" asked Sora.

"Of course, she's a vampire." said Lily. Another picture popped up on the screen. It was another girl. She had black hair with maroon highlights.

"Alex a.k.a. Nightmare.: Powers include telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation. Weapons: two sai." Then another picture appeared. It was another girl...again. "Hinamari or 'Ami': Powers include flight, freezing, and can see the past and the future. Weapon: A dragon sword." Soon a picture of all four of them with Alessa in the middle appeared.

"They were all friends of Alessa." said Lily.

"What about the last one?" asked Leon.

"I can't find the information or a picture of the last one. It's as if it's been erased. But I do know that the last one will be able to stop the chaos and destruction."

"So, there is a way to stop it." Kairi said.

"I just found something. Apparently, the last guardian is very close to the princess and has no powers. Unfortunately, that's all I could find."

"Thanks, Tron." said Sora. "We have one more thing we need."

"And what's that?" Tron asked.

"Do you have any information on Alessa Potter's past life?" Sora asked.

"I think so. I'll search for any matches through my historical data banks..." The computer made more beeping sounds and showed two pictures. One of Alessa and one of a girl who looked rather similar.

"Who's the other girl?" asked Kyo.

"Her name is Alicia Gryffindor."

"How do you know all this?" Sora asked.

"As you know, Ansem the Wise was researching other worlds. He would occasionally visit them when he found time."/i Tron answered, "When he did, he would research that world's history as far as he could."

"Did you say 'Gryffindor'?" asked Lily.

"Yes."

"Do you know who that is?" asked Sora

"Remember Alessa's sword?" Lily asked. Sora simply nodded, "A name is engraved on the blade. Godric Gryffindor."

"Who's that?"

"He's one of the four founders of Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." She turns to Tron. "What's the relationship between them?"

"She's the daughter."

"What about the mother?"

"There's no information on the mother."

"No information?" asked Kairi

"It's probably been lost." said Saya.

"So, Alessa's the reincarnation of Alicia Gryffindor. I didn't even know he was royalty. Just the founder." said Lily.

"Who were the other founders?" asked Sora. Before Lily could answer the computer made more beeping sounds and four pictures popped up.

"Godric Gryffindor." she pointed to each picture. "Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin."

"What's with the animals on the flag behind them." asked Kairi.

"Each animal represents them." Lily explained, "The Snake's for Slytherin, the Eagle for Ravenclaw, the Badger for Hufflepuff, and the Lion for Gryffindor."

"That's cool." said Sora. "Hey, I just noticed something."

"What?" Lily asked.

"Godric's eyes, they're brown."

"Yeah, and?" Lily asked again, looking confused.

"Alicia's are hazel."

"So are Alessa's." said Kyo.

"Maybe the mother's are green." suggested Aerith when she walked in, "The mother's and the father's eye color mix together in their child's eye making them a different color."

"That could happen?" asked Hagi.

"But our mother's eyes are green. So are our father's." said Lily.

"Alicia's were hazel." said Leon. "That's why Alessa's are. She is the reincarnation."

"You're right." said Aerith. "That's what happens when you're a reincarnation of someone."

"We better tell the others about the guardians." said Sora.

"Right, let's go." said Lily.

After that, everyone headed for the gummi-ship. They said goodbye to Leon and the others and left for the next world.
