"What in the hell…of all the idiotic…" Kairi mumbled. There was a type of vehicle sitting in the hangar bay. The left path was obviously the right way to go. She stuck the key sitting on the dash board into the ignition, but it wouldn't start. Instead the light started blinking on and off at her, repeating the words 'insert 25 cents' to her.
"You have GOT to be kidding me!" She exclaimed. She had been sitting for about 5 minutes, waiting to think of something. She stood up and walked to the back of the vehicle, searching for some loose change in the cushions of the back seat.
"Change accepted. Buckle up please." Kairi shot up and turned around in time to see a figure dart out of the ship before running to the window. She had no idea what had happened, and didn't se anyone out the window, so she advised herself to sit in the main chair and buckle up. The ship started at cruising speed and then picked up more speed, finally hurtling down a set path.
"Please state destination." The computer said calmly.
"Erm…Disney Castle…" Kairi replied.
"Please confirm. Destination: Disney Castle?"
"Uh…yeah."
"Please state name."
"Why?"
"Please confirm. Name: Y?"
"I…I guess so." She was unsure whether or not she should be giving her name to the Chaser ship.
"Please wait. Trip to Disney Castle for passenger Y will come to a conclusion in approximately…1 hour. Please feel free to unbuckle your seatbelt and move about the cabin."
"What does this thing think it is? An airplane?" Kairi thought. She took off her seatbelt and walked over to the window. She had totally lost track of time and looked over at the clock to check. It was 12:01 AM...it was her birthday…she was sixteen…and so was Sora…his birthday was yesterday.
"It's going to be great explaining to him what happened…I can hear it now…'um…Sora…I kind of had sex with one of our mortal enemies. Just so happens to be the one that kidnapped me. Excuse me, I just need to go make sure I'm not pregnant or anything.' Yep. Oodles of fun!" Kairi let out a heavy sigh…and then her head shot up.
"Unless…" Kairi muttered. She looked out the window, and believed that is she was going to get out of this, Sora was going to get one helluva birthday present.
"But then what happens if I'm not pregnant…and when I do this, that changes…I'm not ready for a baby…" Kairi thought.
"That's what protection is for, stupid!" Kairi thought. She was having a battle with herself.
"I know, but…I…"
"Suck it up…It's not like you'd be alone. Would it be all that bad? You've got Sora, Axel, Donald, and Goofy…I'm sure you'd both be happy in the long run…" Kairi replied.
"I'll…think about it." Kairi muttered…and she would too. She'd take the rest of the trip to the castle to figure it out.
"Don't forget Riku…1879…" a voice pierced the empty blackness as Riku opened his heavy eyes.
"1-8-7…9" Riku muttered before falling asleep again.
"Shit!" Axel screamed. Gantu slammed his fist onto the ground, narrowly missing him. "STITCH! DO SOMETHING!" Stitch nodded and jumped up onto Gantu's head, covering up his left eye and obscuring what little vision he had on that side of his head. Gantu waved his arms like a madman in an attempt to shake the alien off.
"Donald! Now while he's distracted!" Sora shouted. Donald nodded in reply, pointing his want at Gantu's legs and wrapping them up in vines. Gantu, who was completely unsteady, hobbled around the area, as if he was competing in a sack race.
"Goofy!" Donald shouted. Without a word, Goofy threw his shield at the vine still attached to Donald's wand. It snapped the vine in two, finally making Gantu fall flat on his face. The shield then came around, like a Frisbee, and clocked Gantu on the head. Sora turned his attention to Axel, who nodded without a word. He spun his chakram into balls of flame, and threw them at Sora. He caught them on his Keyblade and immediately swung it down which, not only, flung the chakram down at Gantu, but slashed him with the Keyblade as well.
Gantu didn't move…and then a voice appeared from the sky, echoing around the street.
"Gantu, return from where you came." The voice said…it was Xemnas. As if beckoned by his voice, Gantu rose and then disappeared in a flash of light.
"What's going on?" Goofy asked. He was shaking violently…as a matter of fact, everything was shaking violently. It was an earthquake!
"It's the volcano!" Lilo shouted, pointing up at Kilauea. It began to sputter and shoot flaming rocks out of its mouth. There was a panic as people from every which way cam running, screaming at someone for help.
"What are we supposed to do?" Axel shouted, panic stricken. Lilo paused for a minute, as if to think calmly about the situation and then…
"I got it!" Stitch shouted. "Jumba!"
"Great idea!" Lilo replied.
"Whose Jumba?" Sora asked.
"Just get in the car!" Lilo shouted. Everyone hopped in the car, expecting another "along the way" story from Lilo and Stitch.
'I don't wanna close my eyes'
"Wha…what?"
'I don't wanna fall asleep'
"Music? What…why is it Aerosmith?"
'and I don't wanna miss a thing…' Riku sat up, listening to an Aerosmith song of all things. He was in a very shiny, sterile room. It was very futuristic and looked like, not even, the tiniest speck of dust had ever entered. The bed he was on was like a doctors table, ut less comfortable. There was a cushion, barely suitable for a squirrel, which Riku assumed was supposed to be a pillow. Then there was that white paper lining the bed, and the bed itself was a slab of metal as shiny as the walls, and cold to the touch.
"What am I doing here?" Riku wondered. He looked around and located the stereo playing Aerosmith songs.
'Walk this way…' Riku kicked the stereo and the music stopped abruptly. What friendliness the music gave the room was immediately taken away. It was almost eerie the way everything was undisturbed. There were flashing lights and lots of random antennas all over the place, and Riku wondered whether he was…an experiment. Riku continued looking around, more panic filled his brain, which spread to his lungs, obstructing his already shallow breathing. And then he saw a cell phone, sitting on a table nearby.
"Now why would there be a phone in here?" Riku wondered aloud. He walked up to the table and picked up the phone. He examined it closely. It was a Motorola…it looked like a RAZR. He was never good at telling different phones from one another. He flipped open the phones, clicking random buttons. He decided to click random buttons, and came across the messages box. It was filled with over 100 text, each with the same subject. ('exit') and the same message.
'Please dial correct key input numbers for direct exit. 3 chances left.'
"What are they playing at?" Riku asked. He tried dialing the usual seven numbers, but the phone only took four. He backspaced, and re-entered the numbers '1991', his birth year, but nothing happened. The phone buzzed to indicate an incoming text, and Riku liked at it.
'2 chances left.'
Riku figured that whoever was doing this wasn't screwing around. He carefully imputed the numbers '4646' for no apparent reason. It just came to him, but once again the phone rejected the numbers, buzzed, and sent him a text, this time saying he had one chance. Riku stared at the phone, racking his brain for some number that made sense. Dates, times, ages, math problems, anything, but he couldn't think properly with the pressure of knowing that, if he screwed up one more time, he could be S.O.L., so he continued to think.
"Wait a sec!" he exclaimed. He remembered. He quickly dialed in the four numbers…
1-8-7-9…he pressed the green button, and heard a faint ringing noise. He hurriedly put the phone up to his hear, fumbling, and almost dropping it…then the phone picked up. He wasn't met by a 'hello', not even a rude one, but instead he was met by some very heavy, deep, and shallow breathing. It was unnerving. Then the phone hung up and Riku heard a click. The mechanical door, which was inset in the wall and completely undistinguishable from it, slid open. Riku smirked, pocketed the phone, and walked out the door, stopping only when he saw his Keyblade propped up outside it. He grabbed it and quietly walked down the hall, almost as eerie as the sterile room. The halls, however, were completely different from the room. The ugly green wallpaper was faded and peeling, chips of it randomly falling onto the floor. The lights were almost all broken, and the ones that weren't flickered on and off. Riku peered forward, looking into the opposite hall. It was exactly the same layout, except the wallpaper was all on the walls and a handsome shade of green. The lights were all intact and un-flickering. It looked more welcoming. And then, all of a sudden, a man with a Mohawk, black clothes, and a guitar rushed out of the room at the two halls' meeting point, and came right towards him. Riku ducked into the neared room, leaving the door cracked to, not only, hear the man speaking, but to make sure he didn't get trapped again. The man stormed path.
"Damned girl. Runs away after what happened with us. She better be this way or there'll be hell to pay…for both of us." The man froze in front of the door, shook his head, and walked off.
"Who was that nut talking about?" Riku wondered. He turned around and was met by the gaze of two people. A young man with brown hair and funky looking clothes, and a woman, sitting on a high throne, wearing mostly black clothing and heavy makeup.
"Ah. Riku. I hoped you'd enter here." The woman said. You don't know how long I waited for you to awaken. I do believe it's time to return to bed." Riku shook his head defiantly.
"Who are you?" Riku asked. "What do you want?"
"I am Edea." The woman replied. "I do believe it is time for bed now. Will you come quietly?"
"No way! Why would I want to go back into that room? Why is it so clean? Why were you playing a constant playlist of Aerosmith?"
"Never mind all that. I do believe force is now necessary. I did not want to do this Riku, under the circumstances, but I will do what I must." The door behind Riku slammed shut, and he heard the familiar sound of a door locking. The room then began to spread out into a large arena-like area, and the floor flew back, knocking Riku over and revealing a sand field. The man did not flinch. Riku looked up at Edea and saw her throne rise above the field. It was circling Riku and the man.
"Shuyin!" Edea shouted. "Please make him return to sleep…permanently." Shuyin nodded, plunged his hand into the ground, and retrieved a large, sand-colored sword from it. Riku grabbed a hold of the Keyblade's hilt tighter, as Shuyin rushed him. Riku followed suit, and was ready…ready to fight…ready to kill.
