Welcome to the Twisted Wonderland!
A/n: the second zine piece I made for @teenyzines's Uncharted Worlds zine (you should again check it out- it's free). This time it's TWST!
Summary: How will Sora react to seeing some of the villains he's fought over the years in this new place?
Crossposted to AO3: here!
Sora stepped out of the sparkling mirror, rubbing his eyes to adjust to the darkness surrounding him. The room was full of floating coffins and a large mirror in the middle, the one that transported Sora here.
“What is this place? Anyone here ever heard of a light?” He joked, waiting for his companions’ responses. Except, nothing was said.
“Where’d you guys go?” Sora asked, worry creeping in his voice as his head darted all around. Where were Donald and Goody? He was about to call their names when he felt a soft tap against his foot. He looked down and saw two stuffed toys, suspiciously with the same characteristics as his best friends. “Donald? Goofy? Is that you?”
He leaned down and scooped up the toys, shocked to see his friends turned into little, rectangular dolls. The one that looked like Donald had angry eyes, and with no mouth, Sora could only assume what the duck would say. Donald bounced around in his hand and Sora sighed.
“Guess you guys can’t talk here… and we lost Riku, too. Great,” Sora huffed and examined himself in the large mirror. He cocked his head upon seeing he was dressed in a black blazer with a red vest underneath. He didn’t question it much, considering this was more normal than turning into a mermaid.
Sora hoisted his two plushy companions on his shoulder and proceeded to walk out. The building he was in had many doors that led to rooms full of people around his age. He was about to walk in when Goofy tapped him, a reminder he shouldn’t mess with their worlds.
Almost every door led to an occupied room, and Sora was getting tired of walking the endless hallway. That was until he saw a large door that looked like it led to a section outdoors. Sora hoped he would manage to find Riku outside, but no one else minus a few kids who looked at him oddly were there. He pouted and continued walked down a cobblestone road until he felt another touch.
This time, both Goofy and Donald were jumping on his shoulder to get his attention.
“Okay, okay, what is it?” Sora asked, tired of the constant tapping. Goofy pointed a stubby hand to Sora’s left, and he looked to see statues.
Multiple statues, in fact. All of which were the previous villains he fought over the years.
“WHAT? THEY GOT MALEFICENT HERE TOO?” Sora yelled, nearly knocking Donald and Goofy off his shoulders.
The Queen of Hearts, Hades, Maleficent, Scar, Ursula, Jafar, and even some Evil Queen he felt looked familiar.
“Eh, whatcha staring at? Are you new?” A voice called out, and Sora turned around to see a boy with red hair and another with blue hair walking towards him. The blue-haired boy held a cat in his arms and Sora pointed at the statues.
“Why are these statues here?”
“Oh, you really must be new, haha,” The red-haired boy smiled. “They’re the Great Seven, duh,” he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
“‘Great Seven’,” Sora repeated. “Yeah, great at getting their butts kicked.”
The boys looked shocked at his words and Sora smirked.
“Yeah, that’s right, you’re looking at the guy who fought and beat them!” Sora proudly puffed up his chest, waiting for a round of applause from these people.
“Is this guy okay?” The cat whispered, and Sora let out an offended gasp.
“Yeah, I’m okay! I’m telling you I beat them!”
The blue-haired boy awkwardly laughed.
“Y-yeah, I am sure you did. Must have been a tough fight.”
“Kinda, but I had my friends by my side to help,” Sora explained, pointing at Donald and Goofy.
“Ace, Deuce, come on, we need to get class. I can’t believe we’re wasting our time with this numbskull,” the cat rolled his eyes.
“I’m not a numbskull! You guys are the weirdos who have statues of evil villains who tried to take over the world!”
“S-sure! Whatever you say!” Deuce waved and proceeded to awkwardly shuffle away from Sora.
“I can prove it! Look, I beat them with this!” Sora yelled, before he summoned his keyblade.
“OH MY SEVEN HE’S GOT… a… giant key?” Ace raised an eyebrow and Deuce shook his head.
“I don’t know what this proves, honestly. It’s just a key.”
“It’s the keyblade! See! Watch this!” Sora raised his keyblade before swinging it at the Queen of Hearts statue. The boys screamed in horror as the key shattered the statue into multiple pieces. “Told ya I-”
“Y-yeah, whatever! Sure! You beat them! Come on, before Headmaster sees us and makes us clean a hundred windows again!” Ace cut Sora off and proceeded to run.
“Crap, what if the Housewarden sees us?” Deuce cried out.
“JUST RUN FASTER!” The cat yelled.
Sora shrugged his shoulders as he saw the group fade into the distance.
“WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?” A thundering voice boomed outside. A man dressed in a feathery costume and black mask flounced over to Sora and pointed a clawed finger at him. “What is the meaning of this? What year are you in?”
“I’m uh… sixteen,” Sora counted.
“No, not your age, what year of school are you in.” The man sighed in exasperation.
“Oh, I don’t go to school,” Sora smiled innocently.
“Is this a joke? Is this some cruel, elaborate prank from a young, troubled teen? I am sorry, but I will have to immediately-”
“SORA!”
“Huh? Riku?” Sora called, and Riku looked to be in a panic. He had on the same outfit as Sora, although his vest was lime green.
“We gotta go, I think Maleficent has a son who goes here,” Riku whispered under his breath.
“They have a statue of her here, too,” Sora pointed out, and Riku tensed at the sight.
“Are you this young man’s friend-”
“Sorry! We’ll be off!” Riku yelled before dragging Sora away, not wanting to stay a moment longer.
