-Chapter 6-

Sephiroth watched the great dragon as it came toward them, sending
most of the townsfolk into a state of panic.

He watched it with the calmness of one who has battled many monsters
in his time. It wasn't anything he couldn't handle.

It landed before him and let out a great roar, causing those who
lingered to flee into their homes. A moment later, Maleficent stood
before Sephiroth.

"Why do you attract me?" she asked. "Have you placed some kind of
spell on me?"

"It's probably my hair," Sephiroth replied. "I've always understood
that dragons like shiny things."

"In that case, perhaps I should carry you off and store you in my
keep?"

Kadaj scampered out of the nearby house and tugged on Sephiroth's
pant leg.

"Daddy!" he whined. "You promised me a story!" He looked up at
Maleficent. "Who's the pretty green lady?"

Maleficent threw her head back and laughed heartily. "You, little
man, have made my day." She told him.

"Those aren't just random heartless attacking," Aerith told the
Radiant Garden Restoration Committee. "Many of the creatures I've
seen around look a lot like the ones from the world I came from."

"You think something from your world got here and his been turned
into a heartless?"

"That or someone has cross-bred heartless with creatures from my
world." Aerith told them.

"If that's the case, we may be facing a generation of heartless that
are unaffected by a keyblade." Leon pointed out. "We'll have to come
up with some alternate way of destroying them. I'll have Laguna look
into it. Perhaps there's a record of such a weapon in the database?
Aerith, see if you can contact the King. He must be made aware of the
situation as soon as possible."

"Right," Aerith said, closing her eyes.

Queen Minnie looked up from the flowerbed she had been admiring as
her mind sensed Aerith's call.

"Your majesty," Aerith's astral form bowed, respectfully. "We need to
see the King here at Radiant Garden as soon as possible. There is a
new danger. We need him to help figure out a way to fight it."

"I'll tell him right away," Queen Minnie promised.

"Thank you," Aerith smiled. "I'll tell the others to expect the
King's arrival."

As soon as Aerith's astral form faded, Queen Minnie hurried into the
throne room.

"Trouble is brewing," she told the King. "Leon's group needs to see
you right away."

"Well, then, I guess I'd better be off," he gave the Queen a quick
eskimo kiss, then turned and gave a startled cry.

"Master Yen Sid!"

"There is a matter which I must discuss with you before you depart,"
the great magician told his former pupil. "It concerns the keyblade
masters: Sora and Riku."

"I'm listening," King Mickey looked up into his former teacher's eyes
and saw that they were troubled.

"An attempt was made upon young Riku's life not long ago," Yen Sid
explained. "An attempt that would've been successful, if Riku hadn't
once taken on another form, that of Xehanort's heartless. His young
body was destroyed forever, consumed by fire. But he has taken a new
shape, that of the body inhabited by Xehanort in life. When that
happened, Sora cast aside his old body. He has taken the form of your
good friend, Ansem the Wise. Both he and Riku are still capable of
wielding keyblades as is Riku's son, Yamiki. But against the new foes
that are yet to come, the power of the keyblades may have no affect."
