"As you all know, the final battle with Xehanort is just on the horizon." Yen Sid proclaimed. He waved his hand over the potential seven in front of him: Sora, Riku, Kairi, Roxas, Ventus, Aqua, and Lea (or Axel, both were acceptable), "All of you have been chosen as candidates to combat this threat."
"Tell me what I don't know." Sora muttered. His muttering became a mockingly higher pitch, "Oh sorry, you're gonna need to save everyone again, no pressure-" he abruptly stopped when Kairi and Riku elbowed him quiet.
Yen Sid smiled- he couldn't help it they were being so childish -but quickly resumed his somber composure, "And so I have decided that you must be prepared for the worst." Everyone looked unfazed by this until Yen Sid added, "By your definition."
People who had already been through the arguable worst murmured in protest. The room was basically filled with dissatisfaction from everyone except Sora- who despite having it as rough as most didn't complain much -and Kairi- who figured it was a good way to get herself a little more prepared to experience a bad thing for once. That didn't stop Sora and Kairi from glancing at each other, though.
They all quieted when Yen Sid waved his hand again. King Mickey spoke up from his side, "We both agreed that if you can't deal with what you fear most, then you have no reason to be fighting in a battle where you..." He hesitated, "Where you may have to face such a fear." He added a soft apology, recognizing that a quite a few of the people before him were technically not even 20 yet.
Yen Sid gestured for them to sit down, "I will put you into a deep slumber-"
"Uh, no thanks." Sora and Riku said together, starkly and painfully recalling the last time such words had been uttered.
Yen Sid stroked his beard, "I understand your hesitation, but fear not. I have purposefully set it up that your sleep will remain undisturbed." He then turned his attention to all of them, "You will sleep and face the situation you fear most. When you wake we will discuss upon what you have experienced."
Sora looked at he others lying down, then looked at Riku, "He says that like this is gonna really hurt..."
Riku settled in with a shrug and a callous reply, "Prob'ly will..." Sora laid down, settling himself into the cold floor. He looked at Riku again, then Kairi, then at the ceiling.
One by one, Yen Sid knelt next to each of them and waved his hand over their eyes. One by one, they fell into the depths of their unconscious like piano keys plinking the last notes of their song. One by one, their calm expressions faltered. One by one they began writhing and crying as their worst nightmare came too close to real.
