Marina Seadrift X Silver


Everyone has a purpose, large or small. Despite the size, the smallest ripple will create the largest wave.


Within the castle, a Nightmare Commander is sitting in an empty conference room. There isn't going to be a meeting, but the Commander has no patience to hear the cheers of every Nightmare, Nobody, or the Organization XIII. There is enough on his mind to make his head pulsate.

Clayton pours himself a glass of wine, swishing the dark liquid with his good arm before taking a sip. His battle with Tarzan had turned in his favor, at the cost of the near-loss of his arm. He reminisces of the hopelessness in the ape-man's eyes, inches away of having his heart removed, and becoming one of the most powerful Nightmares Clayton ever masters. Ever since becoming a First Class Nightmare, all Clayton wanted was to take down the nuisance of the so-called "missing link". Now that he has… he feels empty. And disturbed.

Before he took his heart, Tarzan looked to him with such pity. Not a trace of anger.

Why would he…

His thoughts are interrupted when a storm of screeches hums into the silent room like ghostly wales.
"It seems Maleficent is getting ready for the ceremony."

Clayton nearly jumps at the new voice in the room, snapping his head to the darkest corner. He hisses when he drops his wine to put pressure on his now aggravated arm.

"Blast… who's there!" He shouts to the towering silhouette. He could only catch a glimpse the shadow of three pairs of glowing eyes in his pain, but the glimpse alone gave him an immediate clue of the newest Nightmare Commander. He comes closer, close enough for Clayton to take in the full profile of the compelling Captain's presence.

Such a presence could only compare to the chilling darkness oozing out of Maleficent's own footsteps.

Standing at a full seven feet is the newly revived Captain Nathaniel Flint, the capture of Captain Silver and Marina Seadrift.

Heartless and Nightmares alike giggle and leap, celebrating amongst themselves in victory. Impatient tremors of hisses and screeches pitch throughout the ballroom of Hollow Bastion Castle, the sound rolling like thunder to the highest tower. They wait for the Lady Nightmare to begin the ceremony upon the platform, ready for the sight of the princess. At long last, they are going to have the heart of every princess of the all the worlds; and there is no "hero" left to stop them. They made absolutely certain of it.

Scar, alongside Zira, struggled to the last heartless to conquer the Pride Lands, their command over the Nightmares turning the battle in their favor. The battle was long, and bloody, the lionesses choosing death over losing their hearts to these dark creatures. Simba fought hard to protect his home, but Zira's cunning at last took the heart of the great Lion King.

Eugene Fitzherbert, the newly formed Flynn Rider, commanded the armies of Corona to his best strategies, gliding over creature and man on the back of Corona's greatest stallion, Maximus. Rapunzel, newly trained with her ability of swords, refused to just stay protected in her room, and fought along side her men. Little did they know of the trap set for them. The tables had been turned when three Organization XIII members had removed their disguises as generals, taking down more than half of the army, leaving the princess exposed.  Flynn and Maximus exhausted themselves to protect Rapunzel, but were surprised by an old friend of theirs: Mother Gothel. With her astounding patience and new powers over the Nightmares, she took the hearts of Flynn and Maximus, and finally, with a snarky "Hello, Dear", kidnapped Rapunzel.

One by one, heroes were taken down, and princesses taken to Hollow Bastion, where the ceremony will take place, and their hearts removed. Now they have the last one. It takes all they have to wait for the dark lady to speak, as she gazes around to the audience of shadows.

Maleficent watches her audience, anticipating the sight of their most recent capture. The Lady Nightmare herself could barely contain her own excitement.

Tonight is the night.

"Silence!" All of Hollow Bastion is hushed by the power in her voice. The Lady Nightmare lowers her arms. "My friends, we have all waited for this day to come."

The audience roars. Their anticipation is quieted when Maleficent raises her arms again.

"But first, there is something you shall know about this princess's particular hero." Maleficent lowers her voice in ominous, she walks around the white platform, watching each face of Heartless, the Organization XIII, and higher ranked Nightmares, like Clayton, Ursula, and even Dr. Faciliér. "You see sometime ago, this 'hero' was of our ranks, a Nightmare Commander. We've recently found a man who could compete with this traitor. He brought down even the highest ranks of King Mickey's army: Goofy and Donald Duck. Please welcome our most successful Nightmare Commander with open arms! Captain Nathaniel Flint!"

The Nightmares and Heartless howl in response, congratulating the Epherium's most notorious pirate. The captain appears upon the platform, standing proudly; By the mere sight of him, Heartless, Organization XIII, and Nightmares alike knew this man is never to be trifled with.
"Captain Flint did us the honor of capturing the princess, and best of all: He brought us the traitor alive. For his act of treason, this traitor will be given a special seat, doomed to watch the princess he chose over his duties as a Nightmare: He will have his own personal seat, as the exclusive watcher of removal of her heart." The castle room could not have been blacker due from all the excitement. Maleficent smile grew eerie.
"And now, we shall begin! Bring the prisoners! Welcome the very last princess of the Epherium, Princess Marina Seadrift!"
Maleficent clacks her scepter on the platform, when a string of black smoke follows. The smog grew larger, revealing a black hole. Suddenly, black demonic wings spring from the smog, pinpointed to the ceiling, when a head rears back with a roar. Whom the monster holds by the wrists is the princess all of Hollow Bastion screams for. The monster had frozen in a permanent scowl, holding Marina's arms apart as if she were held on crucifix, an offering to the dark purpose of the Nightmares.  Maleficent mockingly grins when the princess glares in vehemence. She turns to the shadows and commanders.
  "And her hero," She clacks her scepter again, in front of Marina. Maleficent looks to the smog doorway in contempt when she sees the Ursid Cyborg ascends. The captain snaps his head around. Maleficent cackles when his two different eyes widened in horror when he caught Marina in his sight. "No!"

"John…" Marina sighs in a saddened affection.

"The traitorous Nightmare, Captain Long John Silver!"
This was inspired by :icondisneyfan01: fan couple! I enjoy her comics very much, and her stories. In a way, it makes me think of Francoeur X Lucille, that whole forbidden love quality *_*
People judge Andrea's view of Silver and Marina, but i came to respect her integrity to this couple and now I'm a supporter. Deal with it ^_^
