This is Volume Two in my Kingdom Hearts fanfiction novelization, for those who haven't read the first Volume in my series I would suggest doing so to better understand

the events that shall commence in this one.


"So this is your ship, its amazing!" Sora cried, gazing about the spacious interior of the Gummi vessel with awe and wonder clear upon his face.

"Yup, this is our ship all right, built by some of the King's most trusted engineers just to suit us on our travels to find you" Donlad said with huberus, but Sora ignored the

duck's speech and continued his exploration of the ship.

Suddenly a scream sounded from the control deck of the ship, both Donald and Sora immediatly rushed in expecting to find a woman in distress with Heartless surrounding her, but

instead they found Goofy stading upon one of the control deck's padded seats pointing and shrieking at a small creature that quickly darted into the open control box.

"Thats what frightened you Goofy, a little critter?" the duck quacked in outrage, but the Captain still bore a look of fright.

"It had big fangs and razor sharp claws, I swear the little monster tried to bite off my foot" Goofy explained in a quavering voice, but the wizard shook his head in disbelief.

"Jiminy would you mind checking it out?" Donald asked the tiny chronicler, whose small face peered out from the pocket of the Captain.

"Um, I am not sure that would be in my best interest Donald" the tiny creature said with a nervous grin.

"Don't tell me, you are playing chicken too!" the duck shouted in fury, the wizard then softly grumbled to himself as he made his way over to the control console. Donald

then kneeled to peer inside.

"Come out, come out whoever you are!" the duck shouted into the console, the wizard then grumbled to himself some more as he drew his wand and whispered a spell to ignite a small

spark from its tip, immedialty the console interior was revealed much more clearly to the duck as he looked past wires and data frames for the pest.

The duck then discovered the creature, who upon seeing the duck let out a high pitched shriek of terror, the wizard himself let out a scream of frightened surprise and in smashed his

head against the ceiling of the control console as he hastened to pull his head out the duck Sora and Goofy watched on in terror, imagining the horrible monster the wizard

must have discovered in the console.

"What is it Donald, what evil monster is in there?" Sora asked quickly as the duck's head emerged from the console with a large pulsing bump upon the feathered top of it.

"Ill tell you what I found, this little sneak!" the duck shouted, reaching into the console and pulling out a struggling little chipmunk wearing a leather vest.

"Uh, wait a second Donald isn't that --?" Goofy began with realization, but Jiminy Cricket finished for the Captain.

"Its one of the engineers behind your Gummi ship, its Chip or Dale" the tiny green creature cried in excitement.

"Its true, and its me Chip" the tiny chipmunk coughed, fighting against the wizard's tightened grip upon its tiny body. The duck seeing this muttered a quick apology and released the tiny

creature.

"Wait, what are you doing here? Last we saw you, you were back at the castle" Donald questioned the tiny creature, who suddenly bore a look of terror and sorrow.

"Perhaps it would be best if me and my brother showed you, Dale its safe to come out!" the chipmunk shouted, and from underneath a seat emerged a second of the tiny engineers.

"Are you sure, Chip?" Dale asked his brother in the same tiny squeak, Dale silently nodded his tiny head.

"Now me and my brother warn you, the following images may be a bit disturbing" Dale warned, crawling onto the control console and jumping onto a few of its buttons until a screen

wrapped around the entire cockpit.

The image on the screen froze the blood that ran through the wizard and the Captain, for its showed a large pulsing orb hovering just above the Disney castle. However the

orb was not what brought terror into the two adventurer's, instead it was the Heartless that poured out of the orb and attacked the resident's of the castle.

Donald watched as some of the Heartless made their way to the town just beyond the wall's of the castle, watched as the creatures aslo brought destruction with them in their

invasion.

"Is that your castle" Sora asked his two companions, who nodded in the silence.

Meanwhile the image continued to show the taking of the Disney castle, one shot showed the audience chamber of the King filled with Heartless who fought against the line of royal

guards protecting the Queen and others retreating through a passageway that had opened where the King's throne had originally stood.

"I don't understand, how are they --?" Donald began to ask the two engineers, but they shook their heads.

"None of us do, the stone still survives, yet the Heartless have no trouble invading" Dale spoke solemly.

"We have to go and stop them, what do you guys say?" Sora said with a burst of energy and determination, but Chip and Dale faced the boy with looks of great sadness.

"Its too late, the castle was taken days ago. We don't know if anyone escaped, you see me and my brother got the message accompying these images while you

both were searching town for the key" Dale explained grimly, noticing the looks of shock that registered upon Donald and Goofy's face at the news.
