Chapter Six: Race to Beat the Clock
Sora ran down the hallway to the cockpit. He burst inside, drawing attention from the other occupants. " What's wrong Sora?" asked King Mickey. Sora walked up to him and looked out the window.
After a moments silence, he spoke, " you feel that darkness?" King Mickey concentrated.
" Yes I do." He answered. Sora nodded.
" Good, follow it." He said and disappeared out the door just as fast as he had come. King Mickey and the others looked at each other and shrugged. Kairi and Mike followed after Sora. They found him back in his room going through a trunk of things.
" Um, Sora, what are you doing?" Mike asked him quietly. Sora did not stop rummaging. " Uh Sora..."
" Ah ha!" Sora sprang up and the other two jumped in surprise. Then, they saw what he held in his hands. It was a special type of armor. Very light but could stop anything. Sora tore off his shirt and slipped it on underneath. Then putting his shirt back on he looked at the other two. " If you haven't gotten it by now, you're both denser then I thought." He said with a smirk.
Kairi gasped and shook her head. " You're not going to confront her are you Sora? You're not strong enough. We haven't found the Princess of Light yet!" She cried out to him as he raced out the door. They followed him again.
" I know that Kairi. I just need time to get Riku out. I didn't say that I was going to destroy her now did I?" He looked back at them as he ran down the hallway finally coming to a stop in the cockpit. They could see a huge floating fortress in front of them.
" That's it Sora, that's were the evil is the strongest." Donald said quietly. He knew what Sora was planning. He also knew, that if Sora was not successful in his mission, Riku could be lost forever.
" Right then, let's go!" Sora said and the Gummi Ship took off towards the fortress.
~ Within the Fortress ~
Riku sat silently in a dark chamber. The Princess of Darkness had placed him in there. Obviously she didn't trust him not to run. He sighed quietly to himself. " I hope Sora's okay..." Looking around for about the hundredth time, he hoped that he would find some sort of opening that he had missed the other ninety-nine times he'd looked. With another sigh of defeat, Riku laid back and looked up at the ceiling. Suddenly, he heard movement outside the door. Jumping up from his place, he ran to the door and listened.
" What was that? Intruders? I bet it's that Keyblade master and his buddies. Come on, he can't be aloud to get to the Prince."
" Yes sir!"
" Oh, and go inform the Mistress that the brat's here!" Then feet were heard running down the hallway. A door opened and closed and the cellblocks were plunged into silence once more. Riku moved back and looked at the door. He hadn't tried to open it yet because of the guards. But now that they were all distracted, he could have a chance. Once he got out, he would meet Sora half way and they could retreat back to the Gummi ship. But if he didn't time it right, he could be caught. Setting a determined look on his face, he called forth his Dark Keyblade. Yelling, he ran at the iron bound door and to his surprise, it busted open and he stumbled into the hallway beyond. He was free, now it was all just a race to beat the clock.
