Separated Hearts
Riku moved in front of Sora protectively as the mage walked closer. "Who the hell are you?" he growled. The mage wagged a finger at him.
"Bit of a temper you have there Riku. You really must learn to control that." Mickey walked over to Riku.
"He asked you a question. It's usually considered polite to answer," said the mouse. The mage shook his head.
"You're right. Where are my manners? My name is Kuja. I believe that you knew my cousin Ansem? But enough of niceties. At the risk of sounding cliched, prepare to d-," Kuja broke off. Sora had suddenly doubled over, laughing. Riku looked at him curiously, and Sora pointed at something on Kuja. Riku also started laughing. "What so funny?" yelled Kuja angrily, furious that he wasn't being taken seriously.
"Sora, what's so funny?" asked Mickey softly. Sora finally stopped laughing, and turned to the king.
"He-he's wearing a thong!" Sora started laughing all over again. Mickey chuckled a bit. Immature boys. However Kuja didn't find any of this particularly funny.
"That's it!" he yelled. "Flare Star!" Mickey pushed Sora and Riku out of the way, and the two stopped laughing. Mickey turned back to Kuja, getting into a battle stance.
"Sora, Riku, Goofy, Donald, get out of here!" he yelled. Sora and Riku began to run toward the huge golden door, hand in hand. Goofy grabbed Donald (who had woken up) and started pulling him to the door.
"C'mon Donald," said the dog. "We gotta get that there door open!"
"Leave it to me," said the duck. "Firaja!" The powerful fire blast pushed the door open, just enough to squeeze in. Sora, Riku, Donald, and Goofy all jumped through.

Mickey turned back to Kuja. "So king," said the mage. "You would risk your own life to protect your comrades?" Mickey nodded his head slightly.
"They deserve to leave this place. Especially Sora and Riku. Two people in love don't deserve to have to be here. Not that you would understand love, Kuja." For a brief moment Mickey thought that he saw something that seemed like sadness flicker across the mage's face.
"I did Mickey," said the man quietly. "Just once. For a young Summoner named Garnet." The flicker of emotion vanished, and Kuja's face hardened. "But that has nothing to do with the present situation!"
"Garnet," Mickey mused. "Garnet, yes I have heard that name. Queen Garnet. I visited her on a world called Gaia. I visited her and King Zidane. Neither of them seemed very fond of you. They told me what horrible murderer you were, how you had ended so many innocent lives," Mickey's face also hardened. "And you did it all for power. They said you were dead, but I suppose that they didn't kill you well enough. Well don't worry, I'll finish the job!"
Mickey lunged toward Kuja. The mage tried to dodge, and the Keyblade only grazed his shoulder. Now Kuja was also mad. "Holy!" he yelled, and a bright ball of light hurtled toward Mickey. The mouse flipped backwards, and the ball missed.
"Ragnarok!" yelled Mickey, and slashed at Kuja several times. Kuja managed to dodge the blows, but just barely. "Impact!" yelled Mickey. Kuja turned and saw a read beam heading toward him. He twisted around and it missed. Kuja looked the other way, but it was too late. The other five beams hit him, full force. Kuja fell over. Mickey walked over too him, thinking that he was dead. But it was a trick. As Mickey stood over the fallen mage, Kuja suddenly opened his eyes.
"Goodbye Mickey," he said. "Flare Star!"
Mickey didn't have a chance. The star exploded right under him, sending him flying backwards. "Cheap bastard," he managed, and fell over, dead. Kuja walked over to the king.
"And to think, he was such a worthy opponent."
