THE SEVENTH KIGDOM—
GUMMI SHIPS
Ty sat up in bed. He rubbed his eyes. He yawned, and laid back. The bed was the softest he had ever slept on. He scratched his arm, and glanced to the side. A cat girl was bowing by the door. He jumped out of his bed, and yelped. He then noticed he was naked and got back under his sheets. The blood ran to his face faster than a chocobo to food.
"Sorry, master." She bowed. He raised an eyebrow.
"Master?" he asked. She strolled over, and set a pair of clothes next to him. She then bowed again, and left the room. As she opened the door Huey, Dewey, and Luey ran in. They jumped on his bed.
"Are you ready to go!?" Huey asked.
"We are ready!" Luey informed. Dewey just jumped up and down on the bed.
"Our beds aren't this soft." He muttered.
"Yes, yes I'm coming." He said. They jumped off the bed, and ran out of the room. He got up, and got dressed. He looked at the clothes. He wore a black vest with a hood, over a long sleeved gray shirt. He wore orange shorts, and cut off gloves with the Mickey symbol on them. He found his Keyblade, and chain belt, and put them on too. He stepped out into the hallway. Vivi followed him. He wore bright blue robes, with gold and red trimming, and a gold, silk wizard's hat. He had black gloves with Mickey's symbol on them.
"This place is amazing." He said. Ty nodded his head.
"I've never been in a place like this." He said. They followed the guards to the courtyard.
"Aren't we going to the Throne room?" Ty asked one of them.
"No, you are going to your Gummi Ship." He informed. They walked out of the castle, and into the sun. The courtyard was a beautiful. It was a square with four paths, all leading to a fountain in the center. Flowers bloomed all around them, the smell over whelmed the two companions. Cherry trees let their blossoms float through the air. Vivi and Ty walked up to the huge fountain in the center of the courtyard. Madam Daisy, Queen Minnie, Huey, Dewey, Luey, and King Mickey, and Pluto stood around the fountain, chatting excitedly.
"Oh, good you are here." Queen Minnie walked over to them, and offered them some coffee. Vivi took a mug, but Ty declined.
"Are you ready to take your journey?" the King asked. Ty nodded.
"Yes, your majesty." He said. The king grinned.
"Call me Mickey." He said. He turned to the fountain. "Horace, is it ready?" he asked.
"As ready as she'll ever be!" A horse slid down the fountain, and splashed into the bottom, splashing everyone. Mickey turned to the others.
"Meet Ragnarok!" he said. He waved his arms, and the fountain's jets of water sprayed into the sky, a Gummi Ship flew out of it. It was red with two giant wings that pointed forward. It hovered for a moment, then landed. Ty, Vivi, and the three ducklings ran to it.
"It is awesome!" Ty ran his hand over the surface. He found the door, and opened it. They ran inside.
"I have chosen your first destination." Mickey stepped into the ship.
"Really?" Ty turned to him.
"There has been a large amount of Heartless spotted at Crescentia." He informed. "We are afraid that we will have to evacuate the planet." He grew solemn, then a stern look covered his face. "You must stop this!" Ty bowed.
"I will do everything I can." He said. Vivi then walked over.
"Where is Crescentia?" he asked. Mickey raised an eyebrow, and then shook his head.
"Of course you don't know." He laughed at himself. "Don't worry, we will lead you there." He turned around, his cape flapping behind him.
"How?" Ty asked.
"The Highwind." Mickey laughed. Vivi and Ty glanced at each other. Then closed the door.
"I assume you know how to drive this." Ty said, sitting in shotgun. Vivi sat in the pilot's chair.
"Kinda." His small yellow eyes flashed. Huey, Dewey, and Louie sat in the engine room. Vivi pulled on some devices, and pushed some doodads. The ship started to rise off the ground. Ty waved out the window at Daisy, and Minnie. He wondered where Mickey and Horace went.
"Holy-" he turned. Vivi was staring wide-eyed out the front. He looked, and gasped. The highest tower of the castle opened up, and folded out. It revealed a huge, HUGE! Gummi Ship. It was long, and had two giant propellers that could chop up their ship. It soared from it's pad into the sky. The ship zoomed past them, and caused their ship to shake, and almost crash into the castle.
"Sorry 'bout that!" Horace apologized over the speakers.
"Th-that's the Highwind?" Ty couldn't blink. It was the ultimate Gummi Ship.
"We will lead you to Crescentia." Mickey said over the speaker. The Highwind hovered for a minute, then shot off. The Ragnarok flew after it. They soared off the planet, and into space. They followed the mother ship for hours, uneventfully. Vivi taught Ty what he knew about the ship.
"Slow down." Horace said. Vivi grabbed the controls, and slowed down the ship. Ty looked out the window. He didn't like the look of the space around them. It looked and felt wrong.
"What is it?" Vivi asked into the intercom.
"Pull into the Highwind." Mickey ordered.
"Vivi."
"Why?" Vivi asked into the intercom.
"Vivi."
"Just do it." Mickey said.
"VIVI!" Ty yelled.
"What?" Vivi turned to him.
"There are no stars." Ty said. Vivi's eyes grew wide. He pulled toward the Highwind's opened docking bay. They saw why. A broken down Gummi ship floated in front of it. Pieces of the ruined ship floated around it. One thing that Ty noticed was a strange black heart spray painted on it.
"Heartless." He hissed.
THUD!
"What was that?" Dewey screamed from the back.
THUD!
"Get in!" Mickey yelled.
THUD!
"HEARTLESS!" Ty drew Apocalight. He ran to the engine room. The roof ripped open.
"AAAHHH!!!" the ducklings screamed.
