Chapter 2: Homecoming
Master Yen Sid, mighty wizard and former master of the Keyblade, was in his chamber meditating. It was as if nothing could disturb him from his focus, nothing except the smell of something burning that just entered the room. Yen Sid opened his eyes and looked towards the Three Fairies' room just as smoke started to seep through the cracks. "Lea, did you burn something while practicing with your Keyblade again?"
From out of the door came the red, spiky haired former, Nobody, who was chuckling nervously. "Well," he began,"Would you get mad if I said yes?"
Yen Sid just sighed and massaged his temples saying,"The next time you want to practice, tell me so I can make everything in the room fireproof."
"You got it!" Lea replied happily. The door to Yen Sid's chamber opened up and everyone's favorite mouse, duck, and dog entered the room, faced his desk, and bowed out of respect.
"Master Yen Sid," they said in unison.
"What have you found, Mickey?" Yen Sid asked his former student.
Mickey looked down at the floor and answered,"Well that's the problem. We didn't find anything."
Yen Sid looked at the trio and stated, "I never expected Xehanort to leave any sort of clue as to where he and his organization disappeared to. We also must be wary of Maleficent. We've no idea where she has disappeared to or what she may be planning."
Just then the doors opened up and Riku entered followed by Kairi. "So, what's up?" Riku asked the room's occupants.
Lea responded saying, "Oh nothing special, just there being no news on Xehanort, a warning about Maleficent, and Donald here almost burned the fairies' room down."
"What?!" Donald said in his duck accent,"I believe that it was you who would try and do something like that!"
Lea held his hands up defensively and said,"Alright, alright. Lighten up and get a sense of humor. You're always so serious."
"A-hyuck! You really should calm down Donald," Goofy told the raging duck.
Donald looked away and said, "Aw shaddup you big oaf."
Mickey stepped in the middle of the trio and said, "Aw come on fellas. Let's not fight at times like these. We need to stay on good terms." The two hotheads quickly murmured an apology to each other.
Just then Master Yen Sid looked towards the window just as a star twinkled. He closed his eyes, gave a small chuckle, and said, "I do not believe that we will lose this battle against Xehanort's forces."
Mickey looked at him and asked, "Why do you say that master?"
"Because an old friend of ours has come home to resume his training," Yen Sid replied. Everyone looked at each other in confusion before coming to a realization. Then everyone ran for the doors to head to the base of the tower. After everyone, except Yen Sid, managed to get downstairs with some minor bruises, they ran outside to meet a familiar face. At this point Kairi was close to tears when she saw who was here.
"Hey," Sora said,"How's it going?"
