Welcome to Gaia! ::

she walked until Rachel came up to a green fountain. it was scary looking, kind of like a cat mixed with some kind of wierd creature. the water oozed out of its open mouth. as rachel drew nearer to the fountain she heard a scream. she ran to the graveyard, that was where the scream had come from. she pushed open the metal gate and saw a person who was like a rag doll and 8 heartless surounding her. rachel's two keyblades appeared, wonder of abyss and crab claw. she spun them around in her hand and held them out like guns then yelled," fire!"
a large fire ball soared out of each keyblade. it hit 3 heartless each. the heartless disappeared now only 2 heartless left. Rachel ran down swinging the keyblades around, it was so much easier to swing them out of the water. she sliced one heartless in half and stabbed the other one in the head, they diasappeared leaving behind 3 health balls and 10 munny. Rachel colected the munny and gathered the health balls. she handed the green glowing balls to the rag doll," are you ok?"
the rag doll used the health balls and answered," yes, i am ok now. i am sally, i have not seen you here before?"
Rachel smiled," i am Rachel, from a world far from here."
Sally gasped," oh no! i forgot i have to help jack with the town meeting for this years halloween. i have to go now, good bye and may you have a scary halloween."
Sally ran off through the open gates and in to the hall. rachel thought, what is Halloween? well i guess there is only one way to find out.
rachel left the graveyard, the gate swung shut behind her with a loud creak. rachel walked up to the hall and pushed the wooden door open. inside were rows and rows of chairs with monsters sitting on them. there was one or two spare seats. rachel took one at the back.

there! on the horizon i could see the black sillouete of pride rock. *leaps over a rock in the ground* "almost there!"i pant. now i can see a crop of trees, under each of them there will be a den usually perfectly hidden under the foliage. but i can remember clearly now where mine was. i slowly clamber over a hill top and slide down a smaller slope, and here i am-- in front of a big old tree which houses my den. "amiel?" i call. "amiel??" maybe i was wrong, she might not be here anymore. i'm about to turn and leave when a voice calls, "sapphire!"i spin on the spot and see a younger lion cub. he calls again, "it is sapphire, right? or are you still called 'squeaky'?" he sniggers playfully. "amo?!?" i remember now! amo was a mere infant when amiel and i rescued him from a stampede. "you've grown so big!" i say. even though we'd saved him, amo was a very proud cub who didn't usually like to admit when he was wrong. he used to tease me alot too, but i usually teased him back so it was fair.

"or you've shrunk" he smiled. amo became best friends with amiel when he grew a little, since he was about the same age as her. i suppose he must have stayed behind to help her guard the pride lands...so where was amiel?

Jack showed her around Halloween Town, when they got to a circle of trees he stopped. i asked," what is it Jack?"
he looked around and frowned," the heartless are back. keep your guard up we have to go warn santa!"
Jack grabbed my hand and flung open the door he pulled me inside the hallow tree then he jumped in behind me. snowflacks circled all around us. then we landed in soft white snow. jack got up and pulled me to my feet," hurry we have to get there before the heartless do!"
jack an di ran fumbliing in the deep snow. then the snow grew harder and it was easier to run. jack and i ran up to santa's door. jack tried opening it up, then a voice in my head said to me"the keyblade can unlock any sort of lock..." i said to jack," please move a side let me try."
jack walked out of the way, i held the wonder of abyss keyblade infront of the lock, we heard a click and the door swung open. Jack and i rushed inside. in the room was a cosy fire paper scattered evrywhere, preasents lay smashed and santa was tyed up onto a chair.we untied santa and took the sock out of his mouth so he could talk. jack asked," who did this?"
santa said angrily," it was that no account oogie boogie and his tick or treaters! there back Jack and worse then before!"
Jack was worried, i asked," who is Oogie Boogie?"
Jack exclaimed," he helped the heartless last time he was killed by Sora but some how he is back.it must have been those three trick or treaters!"

everything went black and she did not know what happened. Rachel blinked twice then opened her eyes. she was in a greyish-purple castle. she was lying on a heart like shaped rug. there were machines around her and two sets of stairs going down to a small hal with six blue capsils, the seventh one was up high on the wall. each one had a name carved into it. they read Alice, Aurora, Belle, Snow White, Cinderella, Jasmine and the top one said Kairi. rachel wondered who they were. rachel tryed to get up but her leg was chained to the ground. rachel pulled at it trying to get off. then the big doors near the capsils opened. a man in a black cloack walked up to Rachel his face was hidden in shadows. he laughed," so you are a princess of heart, but there is one problem with you. your heart will not let you enter the capsils. my guess is that they can only be used by the 7 other princesses. but dont feel left out. we will make you one very shortly."
he stepped over rachel and looked into the swirling heartless sign, which is a gate way. rachel yelled," you wont win. not if i have any thing to do with it!"
rachel's crab claw keyblade appeared, she swung it at the cloaked man. he just dodged it in time. he turned around and grabbed rachel's hand that had the keyblade in it," that wont help you."
he squeezed on her wrist making rachel let out a scream. he let go of her wrist, Rachel dropped the keyblade. the cloaked man went to pick it up but it went into rachels left hand, the hand that is not hurting. he walked back a step or two and said calmly," so you are a keybearer as well, that is a laugh. you are so weak you cant even protect your self against..."
he put his black gloved hand into the air and made 10 nobodies appear. rachel had not seen nobodies before. he yelled,"... THESE!!!!"
the nobodies ran at rachel there claw like hands ready to strike. rachel's locket began to glow and then a aqua light shone out, like if the sea was there. 10 giant bubbles formed and engulfed each nobody. then dissappeared with the nobodies. the locket stopped glowing and rachel felt dizzy. the man leaned over rachel when her vision began to get blurry," took to much power din't it princess."
she fainted, the power was too strong for her.

rachel woke up a couple of minutes after they had all left. she sat up and looked around. the guy had gone. Rachel then realised that she had different clothes on than at Halloween Town. she wore a pale green dress with long white daggy sleeves, white v-top, black trimmings and a blue shell on the black weist trimming. she looked at the chain on her leg. she then noticed a small lock on it. Rachel swung her crabclaw keyblade on her hand and then grabbed it and pointed at the lock. an aqua beam shone to the lock, she herd a little click and then the chain on her leg fell to the ground with a clatter. she rubbed her ankle, then stood up. the only way out was the large doors. she walked up to them and put her ear against the doors. there was nno sound so she pushed the doors open. she walked through, infront of her was a porthole, it was her way out of this crazy place!

Rachel jumped into the porthole, she did not care where she turned out. she had to get away before they realised that she had escaped. next time she might not be so lucky.
when rachel came out of the porthole she was on her sturdy wooden ship. she looked around and noticed stars that looked like planets. each was different from the next. near her was a world that had a really tall clock tower sticking out and on the other side was a huge purple whale. but then rachel noticed something just beyond what she could see. she decided to got there. the person will not expect her to go there. she set sail for the mysterious star just on the spacy horizon.
as she got nearer she realised that the star was shaped like a white shimmering castle ith a pink rose floating in it garden. Rachel pushed the anchor down, she grabbed on to the chain of the anchor and slid down it. she came out of a porthole into a room. she looked around. next to her was a dark purple bed with curtains hung over it, a light brown cupboard stood in the corner, it looked as if it had eyes that were closed. it's doors were green. a mirror was near the window, cloth hung over it. the window had a balcony. rchel tried to push open the window but the doors were locked.

rtachel turned around to see a pale green door with slight patterns on it. rachel walked over and oushed the door open. she peered around the edge and saw a coridoor that had statues and paintings in it. she stepped out and closed the door quietly. she began walking forward then the statue closest to her began to move, the rest moved too. they sprang forward from where the sat and started swinging axes around. they must be posessed! rachel got out her two keyblades and coppyed there movements. she began slashing the stone to rubble. when she had deafeted them they turned into black smoke with eyes and disappeared. Rachel had made it to the next door, I wonder if there are more on the other side?

Amo explained that amiel had travelled to Atlantica on important 'guardian of the pride lands' business. "Can you please find her for me Sapph? I wouldn't ask but...she's been gone for a long time! the hyenas are becoming an ever growing threat to us and we need her back!" he pleaded. It wasn't like Amo to admit defeat like this, it must of been serious business. "sure." i told him. i would have gone looking for her anyway. "besides, destiny is calling me to a new adventure"

Amo entrusted me with an amulet that i would need to deliver to Amiel, and he also gave me some food for the road (he knew me so well! who needs money when there's food??)

"ready sandy? it's time for our adventure to begin" i told my companion as we finished saying goodbye to Amo, and boarded the gummi ship.

Destination? The control panel on the gummi ship asked blankly.
As i finished my trasformation back to human, i typed in the correct code. The screen now flashed with the map or our new destination and rules to remember while there.
Destination: Atlantica. Yes/No
