Ace had been relatively quiet ever since he arrived at the castle. He was taking all of this in. This was his first time out in a different world. He knew there were other worlds out there, but this was his first time out of Wonderland. Even for a Wonderland Prince it was a lot to take in. He met the King and shook his hand, but he left just as quickly as he arrived. After the King left he started thinking about what it would be like to have those broom servants in Wonderland. It'd definitely put a lot of people out of a job. More people started to arrive and they looked weirder than the one that came before them. That was until the last few people arrived. They looked relatively normal. He followed the King and the others down through a maze and then into the Hall of the Cornerstone where they were introduced to the Cornerstone of Life. This was the very thing that powered the World Defense Systems. They were then handed some wicked cool bracelets that would help them out on this mission. He placed his on immediately after getting it. This was going to be an adventure fit for a Prince. He listened to the explanation given to them by Sorami and nodded when she finished. Then came the boring question portion of the meeting. That is, it would have been boring if one of the normal looking ones didn't speak up and call the King out. If he had talked to royalty like this in Wonderland he would have been without a head in an instant. Things were very different here in this castle. The outburst gave everyone the desired effect. They were told the truth and not the kiddy version that could potentially get them all killed. When that was done Ace looked at his bracelet and then at his right hand before saying, [color=0076a3]"Don't worry about it."[/color] His Lucky Ace keyblade manifested in the palm of his hand. [color=0076a3]"Whatever the problem is with these heartless or whatever actually might be causing this anomaly I'll handle it. You'll see that you were worried for nothing because Ace the Prince of Hearts is here to help."[/color] He had a smirk on his face that had a good representation of the confidence he invested in his words. He wasn't worried about these heartless. He'd make sure that they wouldn't spread and take over his home. There was no way he was going to let that happen. This was his time. His time to show his potential.
