star_kingdom | [the coming darkness];

[It doesn't matter if your communicators are on, off, or if you were in the middle of talking to someone. They suddenly start flickering on and off, static crackling across the screen and through the speakers. It's a high, piercing noise at first, but then it eases into a low, unsettling hum. There's no face to accompany the cool, menacing voice that comes. Just blackness.]

Pitiful fools. Cling to the light and your precious king all you wish.

It will not save you. It cannot. You are doomed to die in the all-consuming darkness. I... however, may be able to spare you from that fate if I find you useful. I have the power to control the darkness and I can see to it your wishes and desires are fulfilled.

Abandon that king of yours and we shall see if you are worthy. Even if you do not, you will see in time: he means to keep you trapped here forever, despite what he says. I offer an escape.

I am Maleficent.

[And just like that, the feed fizzles and instantaneously returns to its previous state, as if that transmission had never gone through at all in the first place.]

How much do you know of the Darkness?

More than anyone on these worlds, I can guarantee.

If you know more than anyone, will you prove it by giving me that knowledge?

[Just the other day, it was Zoisite who told someone he had no faith in Mickey's motives. That the secrecy was too much. That someone with the power to save them should also be closer to saving worlds.

Zoisite can't fail to hear Maleficent, but the dark witch is something he has a sharp example of in his own world. He is cautious.]

You claim to be willing to restore the worlds?

Open your ears. I claimed no such thing.

[She said she offered an escape~. There's a difference, my dear, but most fools are too naive to see it.]

[That's precisely his point:]

Then you cannot fulfill my wish.

[Yeah, he's not too thrilled about this.]

You're not gonna get away with this. You never have before!

We shall see, boy. You have only succeeded in postponing the inevitable.

[The chilling voice sets Zuko on edge. Even that brief message was enough to give him an idea of what kind of person this 'Maleficent' is -- he's had more experience than he ever wanted with her type.]

What makes you any more trustworthy than the King?

Trust is a naive thing. I merely offer an alliance with mutual advantages. Has the King been able to supply these things?

[Now this... This is interesting.]

Not all of us grovel at the feet of oversized vermin. If the darkness crushes him underfoot, it is of no concern to me.

At last: someone with brains. What is it that concerns you, then?

Maleficent...

[Even if he doesn't fully trust her word, this may still be worth an investigation.]

Indeed. If you have no business other than to gape, however, begone.

And I see the pests still manage to crawl out of Death's grasp.

Maleficent! Babe! I shoulda known you were behind this whole shindig. Too bad the whole thing kind of, blew up in your face like that. I mean not that I am ungrateful for the souls you sent my way but, come on, bringing worlds out of the darkness like that? That can't have been the plan?

Not at all. It was that rodent's doing, bringing the world out of darkness. I simply... decided to use the flood of darkness to my advantage and if these gullible fools want to believe I can restore their worlds, that leaves me all the more pawns to manipulate.

However... I do have a plan.

I don't believe in anything you say.

[Because you know, she trusts the king.]

You wound me, my dear.

[But not really. She's going to laugh like the evil witch she is!]

You.

What are you doing here?!

Ah, Terra. How fascinating to be seeing you here.

[Creeping knowing smile is go.]

[He's watching this very closely, leaning in a bit to get a better look before raising a brow.]

You know, there's somethin' about green ladies that always makes me [And he'll be good because there's children watching.] curious.

Keep talkin'.

[She'll keep the transmission on video just for you. ...Or really, she just wants to see who has the nerve to talk like that. And he looks so much like that other man that spoke to her earlier. Hmmm.]

I see the there is no discrimination in who is dropped on these worlds.

Are you truly interested in my words or are you only wasting my time with endeavors that will lead you nowhere?
