Silver: Sleeping Beauty, how can you think like that?
Roxana: I just thought that, since Mae Senpai did mentioned she could a win a battle against Malleus. When she was little she and him would do a 1v1 duel and Mae would win the fight. However, when she got cursed her magic was limited and she wasn't able to beat him
Dawn: Make sense, if Malleus wanted to take matters into his own hands to ensure he didn't lose the people he's close to. He would've gotten rid of half of Mae's magic
Silver: Even if he does something like this, my father... Even Malleus himself
Grim: Hey, are there any other ways? I don't want to stay on the ground all the time!
Silver: Fath- Lilia Senpai might know some kind of plan to get through this
Grim: Speaking of this, he's a fairy that has lived a very long life. It does seem like he knows something
Silver: Above all, he is a close friend of Malleus since he's still little
Grim: Then use your magic to reach to Lilia's dream!
Lea:... Well
Silver: I'm sorry... I can't do that either
Grim/Dawn: Eh!?
Silver: "Meet In A Dream" certainly allows me to go over the dreams of others, but I can't specify "whose dream I will go." It's easy to reach the dreams of people I have close relationships with, but...
Roxana: Does that mean the owner of this dream is close to you?
Grim: Wait. Which means, isnt this Lilia's dream?
Dawn: It has to be Sebek or Lilia!! It can't be Malleus cause he's awake and using his Unique Magic, so the only option are those two
Silver: I still have no idea. But I can tell who the owner of the Dream is right away if I see them. Anyway, let's go inside the dorm
Roxana: Wait! But what if we get attacked? I won't be able to fight
Silver: Just stay close, we'll protect you
Silver held my hand as we walked into Diasomnia, right when we entered the hallway we hear a loud scream that we knew all too well. It's the one voice that Mae wishes she can bury in the cemetery, even though she is prohibited from doing that... Ever. Sebek Zigvolt.
Sebek: YOU'RE HERE, SILVER!!!!! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOT YOU!!!!!
Sebek walked up to us, when we all noticed a small bird glowing, as it flies around Sebek for some odd reason.
Silver: [mutters] So this was your dream, Sebek
Grim: [mutters] Ffgna! It's not Lilia but it's his dream?
Dawn: How did you know that?
Silver: [mutters] The owner of the dream has a special light around them. Can't you guys see it?
Sebek: What are you muttering like you're talking in your sleep? Are you still dreaming? Hmmm? Behind you are the two from the Night Raven Dorm and... [gasp] SLEEPING BEAUTY!!!!!
Roxana: Huh?! Sebek, I- uwah!!!
Sebek unexpectedly picked me up and spin me around, as I felt dizzy until he held me with his arms holding me up.
Sebek: You have finally chosen the truly powerful dorm!!
Roxana: Wha? What are you talking about?
Sebek: Your uniform!! You chose Diasomnia!!!
Roxana: Huh?
Silver: [gasp] Sleeping Beauty, your clothes have changed
I was left confused when I looked down to see me wearing the Diasomnia dorm uniform, but instead of pants I was wearing skirt and some black laced knee length boots.
Silver: Sebek, the two behind me are Grim and Lea
Sebek: Hmph! The failure students of Class A? Today is the day of an important celebration. It will be a splendid party in Diasomnia. Be sure not to interrupt, you magic beast and human!
Silver: The day of celebration...? What is it about?
Sebek: Huh? Are you still half asleep? It's the encouragement party to send young master and Lilia to intern!
Silver: Eh?
Sebek: It's a pity that we won't be able to see young master and master Lilia much at school next year, especially Mae Senpai! But I'm sure they will return home with the best grades of their intern. Well, the celebration is about to start soon. Hurry up and come, Silver! DON'T KEEP YOUNG MASTER WAITING!!!!
Silver: H-Hey. Sebek! Wait!
Sebek took Silver and I while Lea and Grim were catching up to us, as we enter the Lounge when Sebek slammed the door open.
Sebek: Young master! Master Lilia! I brought Silver here!
Malleus: You finally come. We've been waiting for you
Lilia: Haha, your hair is messy, and your hat is crooked. Did you take a nap somewhere, Silver?
Silver: L-Lord M-Malleus... Father...
Malleus: Oh? Isn't that Sleeping Beauty over there? You came to wish us too. Fufu... There are plenty of foods and drinks. Please enjoy as much as you want
Roxana:... Not a farewell party, but an encouragement party?
Grim: Huh? But isn't Lilia supposed to drop out of school because he can no longer use magic?
Malleus: Can't use magic? Drop out of school?... Lilia?
Lilia: What are you talking about? Did you mistake me for someone else?
Sebek: T-THIS DEMON BEAST!!! WHAT A THING TO SAY!!!! THOSE THINGS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO LILIA!!!
Grim: Shut up! Don't shout in my ear! Oh, but yeah. This is a dream would anyway...
Dawn: Roxie, this is a dream, right? Or was that a dream just now?
Grim: I'm starting to get confused
Malleus: This is a dream? Haha, what a funny thing you said. It looks like you guys are half asleep too. Did you guys take a nap with Silver? It's decided that we will go internship training when we reach the fourth year. I will do archaeological research at the Land of Red Dragons, and Lilia will be going to a Magic Prodthetic Device Company in the Kingdom of Heroes
Silver: Magic Prosthetic Device... Is it the one that's used for Medical Welfare?
Lilia: Yup, that's right. Many people in the Valley of Thorns despise the technical civilization. If I bring back the technology, it will be useful in many cases
Sebek: As expected from Master Lilia. You look ahead to the future and development of Valley of Thorns
Roxana: But wait! What about-
Malleus: MaeMae will be retiring from her duties as a Elite Supervisor of Diasomnia
Roxana: [eyes widen]... What?
Malleus: Too much work is drying her magic up, which is why she will be brought back to Diasomnia and will be coming along with me
Roxana:...
Malleus walked up to me and held my hand, but what left me stunned was when he leaned close and I suddenly felt my cheeks warm from blushing.
Malleus: Sleeping Beauty, I can be certain that I will keep you safe from harm and danger. I know you can handle yourself too, but you're the most extraordinary human being, Roxana Love. As silky and beautiful as a flower, and as gentle as a dandelion flowing through the wind. You have brought me happiness and peace that I hope to someday spend the rest of my life with you
Roxana:... M-M-Malleus... I-
Silver: Fath... Lilia Senpai. Are you going back to the Valley of Thorns... To that forest house?
Lilia: Hmm? I will go home if I successfully pass the graduation exam... Why would you ask such a question? The Valley of Thorns is our hometown, and the forest house where I lived with you is my home for life
Silver: [close his eyes]...
Lilia: What's wrong, Silver? You look pale. It's like you had a bad dream. Don't push yourself, go back to your room and rest
Silver:... Ugh. You're right, Lilia Senpai [glares] This is all... A bad dream. A convenient dream to prevent us from waking up
Sebek/Lilia/Malleus: Eh?
Just then, Silver ripped me away from Malleus and held me close as he back away from them.
Sebek: Hey Silver, stop making those bad jokes. This is a place of celebration!
Silver: How much I wished it was a joke...!
Sebek: Huh? What are you talking about? Are you still half asleep!?
Silver: Please remember, Sebek. The things that happened before you fall asleep
Sebek: Before I fell asleep?
Roxana: Sebek...
... Do it!!...
Roxana: Huh?
... Do it now, before we lose the connection with you!!!....
Roxana: [gasp] Vipra... That's it!!
I got out of Silver's grip and placed both my hands on Silver's face and cupped his cheeks as I forced him to look into my eyes, when I felt this immense feeling of Vipra ability flowing through my body when I spoke with Vipra's voice echoing through my voice.
Roxana/Vipra: Remember... Lilia Senpai has run out of magic power, he was planning to drop out of the campus before the intern... And move to the Land of Red Dragons. During the night of the Farewell Party where everyone was invited... Malleus went mad... Silver tired to stop him, but he couldn't do anything... All those who were there have been put to sleep
Sebek: W-What are you saying!? Young master gone mad?!
Just then, Sebek gripped my wrist and pulled them away, but I could somehow see some specks of bluish glow coming from my hands for some odd reason.
Sebek: [Glares] Young master is always calm and collected. Something like that would never happen!
Malleus: Silver, you seem to have a really bad dream. You should leave for today. I will forgive you for your rudeness now
Lilia: Malleus is right. Above all, I won't go somewhere far while leaving you behind. You don't have to worry about anything. After you graduate from school, we will live together in that forest house again. We are together forever... Okay?
Sebek:... If that's what the "real" you wish for, I wanted to be by your side forever. But... It's not! This world, and you... Everything is fake!!
Lilia: Silver, what are you...
Just then, lighting interrupted them as it spooked us all. We all spotted Malleus standing there, glaring at Silver.
Malleus: I will show no mercy if you continue to talk nonsense, Silver. You must be awake... Huh? Why would you want to disturb the peace? Even though all your wishes will come true here...
Roxana: Awake?
Silver: Awake... Ha, Lord Malleus!? Are you.... [glares] Tch, Observing and interfering with the dreams of those who were put to sleep?!
Lea: [summon his Keyblade] [glares] Which can only mean that Malleus is the Overblot Malleus, he was watching us this entire time. Pretty clever of your Unique Magic, you make sure to observe those who are asleep enjoying their dreams and if they realized that it's all just a dream you make sure to interfere and keep them from waking up!
Malleus: Observing? Interfere? Fufu... What stupid things are you talking about? To rule is a natural duty of a king isn't it? I'm watching over them. So that those who have become residents of fairy tales will not be caught in a nightmare... And your happy dreams will last forever!
Silver: Please, Lord Malleus!! Please, please return to your usual self!! I'm sure my father wouldn't wish for such a thing!
[THUNDER]
Grim: Fuggya!!!
Malleus: Did you hear what I said? Even if it's you, I will show no mercy with your further nonsense
Grim: S-S-Silver! He's super angry, I think you should apologize here
Silver: Lea, I'll need you
Lea: Sure
Silver... Fuu, Haa... Please forgive me, Lord Malleus. In order for you to return to your usual self, I have no other choice but to do this!!
Just then, Silver got out his magical pen and got ready to cast magic at Malleus.
Lilia: Silver!? What are you going to do?!
Sebek: You bastard! How dare you point your weapon at young master... Are you crazy!?
Roxana: Ngh... Sebek! No!!
Sebek: Please step back, young master! I will take care of this!!
Silver: Forgive me, Sebek!!
... Roxie... You have to...
Roxana: Have to what?... [blush] Oh man, why did it have to come to this~
[footsteps... footsteps]
Silver: [eyes widen] Roxie!!
Right when Silver knocked Sebek down, I rushed forward and leaped into Sebek as I cupped his cheeks and pulled his face close and captured his lips into mine. As a bright light started to emerge from where Sebek and I were, it didn't take long until we both collapsed into the ground and I pulled away when Sebek sat up holding me close.
Sebek: Ugh...?! W-What is this memory?! Malleus... No way, how can this be?!
Silver: Have you remember, Sebek?
Roxana: Sebek, you okay?
Sebek: Silver, Sle- Roxana, Lea, what is this? What is happening right now?
Lea: We don't have time to explain, stand up
Sebek: But...
Malleus: Oh.... Sebek. You are awake too. It's too bad. If only you entrusted yourself to this nice sleep, you could have spend a happy time forever.
[Green Fire appears]
Malleus: I'll put you to sleep again... This time, a deeper sleep!
Sebek: Ah... Ah... Lord Malleus!!
Just then, the atmosphere got thick and the black gooey stuff appeared, making us all panic.
Grim: Ffgna!? The black gooey stuff that was in Mickey's room has appeared again!
Silver: Grab your weapon, Sebek!!
Sebek: Kuh!!
Lea: Roxie! Stay behind us!!
I hid behind them as all three, including Grim, used every magic they got, but nothing seem to effect the black gooey stuff.
Sebek: Ugh! What are these things! Hey, don't touch me!!
Grim: Ffgna~!!! We will be swallowed by the gooey stuff!!
Roxana: We are drawn into the darkness!!
???: Fufufu, perfect timing for you...
Roxana: [gasp]...
[footsteps... footsteps]
Just then a corridor appeared and out came the least person we didn't expect that could withstand Malleus magic.
Xigbar
Roxana: Xigbar?! Why are you here and how can you-
Xigbar: Survive? Kid, you gotta learn something from us. We can survive the darkness, it's in our blood, so we can withstand it. Unfortunately for your dorm leader, she's taking a snooze for now
Roxana: [gasp] You don't mean... Mae Senpai?
Xigbar: That's right~ your precious dorm leader is history~
Just then, more corridors appeared and Xemnas, Ansem, and Young Xehanort appeared too.
Silver: We're surrounded!... It's the only chance. You guys, grab my hand!!
Sebek: Guh! Who would want to grab your ha-
Roxana/Lea: [glareS] JUST DO IT ALREADY!!!!!
Silver: It's not the time to act tough! Hurry!!
We all huddle together while Sebek, Silver, and Lea held me close so that I wouldn't get pulled away from them in case the Organization XIII tried to take me away.
Malleus: Now, sleep again. This time, in a deeper... And darker place... Kukuku... Hahahahahahaha!!!!!
I was shaking in fear, as the boys held me tight to comfort me, when all of the sudden the walls crumbled and out of no where a large dark entity attacked Malleus. Making our eyes widen but from my vision I could've sworn that dark entity looked like her. Just then we were covered in thorns again like last time as I closed my eyes not wanting to see where we'll be at next as I held a tear back until I heard Silver's voice.
Silver: To the person I met someday, to the person I will meet one day... Meet In A Dream!!
No One's P.O.V
All of the sudden Silver, Sebek, Lea, and Grim were lying on the grassy ground when an owl is heard from a distance and it was night time too.
Sebek: Mh... [open his eyes] Where is this?
Lea: Inside the forest?
Grim: Ffgna... Did we manage to escape from those gooey and sloppy things?
Silver: Looks like it... I still don't know whose dream this is... Wait! Where's Roxie?!
They all looked around until Sebek spotted her lying near the fallen tree, clutching onto Dawn as they all got up and went to check on her. Lea held her in his arms as Silver brushed her bangs away, she stirred for a moment until she opened her eyes to see the other awake.
Roxana: You guys... You're okay
Silver: We're glad you're okay too
Lea: Same here
Sebek: I-I oppose the Young Master... Ugh... What have I done!? I can't believe it!!
Lea: Believe me, I think Malleus is still gonna keep us from waking up
Silver: Save it for later. Anyway, we should take a rest somewhere and organize the situation first
Lea: He's right. We got three big problems. One; Malleus is watching over us and keeping up from waking up. Two; The Organization XIII can now roam into the dreams as they please. 3; I don't if any of you saw it or not but I think Mae Senpai has overblotted
Sebek: [eyes widen] Overblotted?!
Silver: Here we go again
Lea: Judging by the environment around us we must be in a forest or jungle
Silver: Hmm? The view of this forest, and the smell of the wind... Is this...
Just then, they heard a loud whistle, followed by an explosion that spooked them as a dust cloud formed around the group.
Silver: Ha! Stay down!!!
Silver pushed the others to the ground as Lea, Sebek, and Silver shielded Roxana from the dust clouds including Grim and Dawn who were huddled together against her body. As more explosions started to erupt around them, making the group nervous and anxious for the worst.
Silver: A throwing l!? Where did it come from?
Just then, some soldiers wearing a creature like mask were speaking in some kind of language we couldn't understand as they appear around us.
Sebek: W-Who are these guys?!
They kept taking in their own language when one of them snatched Grim and Dawn away from Roxana's grasp and started rolling them.
Grim: Fuggya!? We're being rolled!!
Sebek: "Men of steel"? We are not those kinds of people!!
Roxana: Sebek
Grim: Do you understand what these guys are saying?!
Roxana watched as one of the soldiers yelled at Sebek while he tried to reassure them that they weren't.
Sebek: It's not a lie! We are students!!
Just then, they heard a screech of a bat from a distance, as a swarm of bats flew by making the others shriek.
Grim: Ffgna!!
Silver/Roxana: Uwah!?
Sebek/Lea: What?!
[Footsteps... Footsteps]
???: What's with all the noises?
Silver: [gasp]
???: Hmph... You fools. Look at the flow of energy around these people. They are not the "Men of Steel" who have received a blessing from the Night's descendants
Silver:... A blessing? You are...
???: But they are still suspicious
Silver: That magical weapon is...?!
Just then, they saw him step out of the shadows as they could see he wore a bat like mask as could see a bit of black and red hair sticking out that reached to his mid chest.
???: Shut up, human. Don't talk too much
Roxana peeked out and spotted the glowing bird around him, making her and Silver realize who this person could possibly be.
???: Who are you guys? Answer honestly. If you don't want to fade away like the mist of this magical weapon
Roxana: [gulp] W-We
[Footsteps... Footsteps]
???: That's enough, leave them be
Roxana: [gasp] That voice
Roxana looked up and to her surprise and shock, out from the shadows appeared a woman with blonde hair that is tied up in a bun. She wore a the same outfit as the others, but what caught Roxana's eyes was the Keyblade she wield in her hand.
Roxana: [mutters] Mother?
Selene: My oh my, what do we have here. Children stumbled upon the forest, how did you kids ended up here? Magic gone wrong?
???: M'lady, you should speak to these humans
Selene: Oh relax, they're just children, nothing more. But this one particular is a Keyblade Wielder like me
???: Then where's her Keyblade?
Selene: Simple... It hasn't awaken yet
Roxana: Huh?
Selene: Your Keyblade hasn't awaken... I assume the only thing you have is your friends and your other selves. The entities that symbolize your life and personality
Hi everyone, sorry for not posting for a while but I was too wrapped up with the other fanfics and for Anime Frontier that I have photos of some Disney Twisted Wonderland fans who cosplayed as their favorite characters and I got to interact with them and do a photoshoot with them too. I wish I could upload them here but it's not working so I'll be uploading them on Instagram and Facebook.
Also I have a sneak peek of the event for Bean Day~ I hope you enjoy. In addition, if you get the reference, you are most definitely going to be my friend.
<< Preview >>
Roxana: Ace!! Jack!! Ugh!! I lost them!! Where could they be? I should be careful of my surroundings, who knows if I end up running into a Farmer
Roxana wandered aimlessly through the woods searching and carefully hiding from the Farmers, however Roxana's eyes caught sight of something moving really fast, making her shiver in fear when she saw something glinting from a distance and spotted what looked to be a familiar one long streak of dark-gray hair framing on the "right" side.
Roxana: [eyes widen] AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Floyd: ANGELFISH~!!!!!
Roxana scurried and ran for her dear life while Floyd picked up the pace and chased after her, she dodged the branches and bushes while Floyd was on the hunt for a certain "Angelfish." Meanwhile Ace was with Ruggie at the time looking for the harp when they heard some screaming from a distance.
Ace: What was that?
Ruggie: Hmm... Judging by the sound I think it... [eyes widen] Oh no... It's Little Cub!!!
Ace: Little Cub? Don't you mea- Ah!! Roxana!! Roxie!! We're coming!!!
Back with Roxana, she kept going around trees to slow Floyd down or lose him but that made him pick up the pace even more to where he almost got Roxana by a hair. Ace and Ruggie were trying to locate her, until they heard her screaming again while sounds of a struggle. They followed it to spot Roxana in sheer panic, trying to get loose only to be stuck in a hole, cause of her belt trapping her in.
Ace: Roxie!! We're here!! What's going on?
Roxana: HE'S GONNA SQUEEZE ME!!!!!!
Ruggie: Who?
They both looked over the root of the tree to see Floyd with a sinister smile running at them, making both of them shriek as they jumped over the root and try to get Roxana out.
Ace: Geez, why do we always have to save your-
Ruggie/Ace: AAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Ruggie and Ace clutched onto Roxana's butt, ready to embrace their doomed when suddenly someone appeared and attacked Floyd, knocking him across the field.
Ace: Oh thank the Queen of Hearts were saved
Ruggie: Perfect timing Jack!!!
Jack: Yeah, and you two realize that you're clutching onto Little Cubs butt
Ace: Huh? Oh! Sorry!! But you do have a nice ass, Roxie
Ruggie: Not the time, Ace. But it's true
