Extension of Chapter 3 Part 1:
The princes, lead by Kapo, venture further into the darkness, knowing nothing of what lies ahead. Without warning, Kapo stopped walking. The princes eventually surrounded him, knowing he was concentrating on something.
"...something's coming." Kapo finally said. Some of the men became alarmed, although a few remained sceptackle. Because of the lack of action and trecherous adventure, the sceptackle one's almost stopped believeing they were in Oblivion, the dimension between all dimensions.
"We've been out here for...who knows how long, and nothings happened!" John Smith said. "Just now something's coming?"
"Is it a threat? Do you have any idea what it could be?" Shang asked.
Kapo straightened up and looked Shang square in the face. "I believe I do have an idea. There are nine of you, yes?"
A few of the men started to count, but realized it was a retorical question.
"Just as I suspected...Just as I suspected!" Kapo seemed to have figured something out.
"What do you suspect?" Aladdin asked, hating the suspense.
"There are nine of you!" Kapo repeated.
"Yes, we've established this." Phillip coaxed.
"Yes, yes, and there are ten dimensions with you're type of aura!"
The princes were totally lost.
"Ok, you lost me." Naveen said.
"Oh, auras, auras..." Kapo mumbled. His sudden burst of energy made it harder to search his mind for a way to explain auras to complete strangers to the world of universal science.
"Auras," he said with confidence, "there are two types of auaras. A dimensionsal aura and a personal aura. To me, you all have the same dimensionsal aura. It's red. But you're personal individual auras depend on your personality. Like...Beast's is a greenish-blue. Anyway, the dimensions you come from have all the same auras. Therefore, you're dimensions are related. There are countless dimensions, as long as there is imagination and creation, there will be countless dimensions."
"What? imagination? What does that have anything to do with dimensions?" Eric asked.
"Oh! Well, to keep things short and simple, most dimensions, like yours, are made up of...imagination. Beliefe. You're worlds were made by another world; another dimension; a dimension that was actually made of physical space, physical...real...things--"
"Woah, woah, woah." John Smith interupted, "Are you saying what I think you're saying?"
"Are you saying...that our dimensions arn't real?" Charming asked.
"No, not exactly. You're dimensions became real from what wasn't real, because what is real made it happen." Kapo stopped himself and thought a while. "Wow, that didn't really make sense. Did any of you get that?"
"I think I do." Prince said.
"I do too." Beast grunted.
"Yes," Prince began. "From the real worlds came imagination that made our worlds. Eventually, with enough beliefe in our stories and being, that germ of thought became an actual dimension. Isn't that it?"
"Yes, exactly." Kapo approved.
"There's just one thing I don't get." Beast said. "How are our dimensions all related?"
Kapo was about to answer, but realized he had no answer. "I...I've never thought about that before. I guess...wow, no one's ever told me that before--" Kapo paused, he was sensing something again. "My point! ten dimensions! nine princes! We've got one more guy!"
"What?!" they all blurted out in suprise. And just as Kapo predicted, another man appeared just like the other nine did when they arrived in the metal chamber. This man fell on his stomache and looked around in confusion. Prince and Charming went to help him up while the others interrogated
him.
"How'd you get here without meeting us in the chamber?"
"Are you a prince?"
"How were you kidnapped?"
The new guy was thoroughly confused. "Will you all be quiet and explain to me WHAT IS GOING ON?"
The men were quiet.
Prince agreed. "Let the man speak in peace. Now, what is your name?"
"Eugene Fitzherbert."
"Are you a prince?"
"By marriage, yes."
"I knew it!" Charming exclaimed.
"No you didn't." Phillip said.
Eugene was growing a little impatient with his lack of knowledge. "Look, one minute, I was with my daughter, the next, I'm in darkness and hearing voices!"
"You're hearing voices?" Aladdin asked.
"They're our voices he's hearing." Beast said.
"Look, Eugene," Kapo came up to him and said, "If you'd answer our questions, it'll give us an idea of how to explain to you what I've just explained to them. You seem to be part of a group of royal and/or heroic victims being gathered together for some unknown reason. Now, how were you taken?"
Eugene, used to magic and it's mysterious ways, didn't freak out, but was very frustrated with his situation. "Well, I was dragged of by...by...hair."
The men were slightly amused. "Hair?" John Smith said.
"Yeah, yeah, if you knew me, you would get it." Eugene replied.
"What, were you a tailor before you married your princess?" Naveen remarked.
"No! Actually," Eugene always enjoyed telling complete strangers his stories, new listeners were always scepticlke and reasy to listen. "My wife used to have 70 feet of magic, healing hair. That's before I sliced it off, though." Eugene said, clearing his story.
"Magic hair?" Shang said.
"It would glow when she sang."
"What?"
"I know, I was confused too."
"Can we please get back to business?" Kapo interrupted.
Prince stepped in. "I think it's only fair that we hear Eugene's story, we've all told ours."
The men agreed. Kapo, not sensing any danger, allowed it.
"Ok, ok, so this is the story of how I died."
-----
Kapo, half listening to Eugene's story and half concentrating on scanning the area, found something strange. He sensed an aura, but it wasn't a person's, it was summoning a specific aura. A blazing orange, there needed to be a bright orange aura to open another key.
He looked at the princes and immediatly spotted an orange aura inside of John Smith's red.
"Smith." Kapo said, not turning to him, his eyes fixated on the direction they were about to head. John walked to him. "You called?"
"Come with me. It's you're turn to unlock an aura."
-----
When they reached their destination, John could see just what Beast could see, an aura and a poem. He read it out loud, "'He who reads words, will be sent back to the earth, after reliving ten nightmare and proving your worth.'"
Both Kapo and John could tell that this would be a dangerous path.
"You wait here." Kapo said. "Don't open that door until I get the others. We have to talk about this."
John nodded and Kapo turned to leave. Once he was out of sight, John re'read the poem. "I think I know what's going to happen." He said quietly to himself. "It's pointless, debating on something we all know has to happen..."
He stared into the aura. After some time, he could see Pocahontas standing on a ledge, gazing into the distance. He knew what he had to do.
