Chapter 5
"Well, that's the last of them." Camille sighed.
Sora slumped to the ground. "Finally. But the Heartless keep on coming. It's too much."
"Well, we can't stop them," Donald commented.
"Wrong." Sora stood up. "We can prevent them from doing any further damage by sealing the keyhole. Every world has a keyhole, right?"
"Right," replied the others in unison.
"So now we have to find the keyhole." Sora sat back down and rested his head on his hands.
Camille sat up. "I've got it!"
……………………………………………………
Camille sat on a nearby rock. In the corner of her eye, she saw something flash. She looked around to see what it was. 'What was that?' she thought. 'Must be my imagination…'
……………………………………………………
"I know where it is!"
"Where?" Sora asked.
"It's in the place where we stopped after escaping the Heartless in the woods!"
The second after she said that, they rushed over to the keyhole.
……………………………………………………
"THERE!"
The keyhole revealed itself. It was embedded in a rock. Without any hesitation, Sora lifted up his keyblade. A beam of light shot from the end of the keyblade and headed towards the seal. Before the light could reach the keyhole, something knocked down Sora.
"AAGH! What was that?"
"We've got company!" The group started attacking the enemy. The sky turned gray as the Heartless swarmed the area.
Camille rushed to Donald and Goofy. They discussed a plan and she finally told it to Sora. "Sora! There's no time! You've got to seal it. It's either now or never."
Sora nodded.
"Aeroga isn't enough, so Donald, Goofy, and I will guard you."
The plan fell into action. Donald, Goofy, and Camille protected Sora. Sora sealed the keyhole. As he did, a large gust of wind blew from the rock to out. (A/N: Like a ripple effect thing) The quad was blown off the world. When they were out of the world's atmosphere, a thunderous boom exploded. They could hear it even out there.

"ARGH!" Axel slammed his fists on the table. "They slipped away! I can't believe it!"
Someone walked past him. "The time will come at the right time. There's no reason in rushing."
Axel stood up. "I know."
"Now go and head to Twilight Town. That's where they are headed next."
"Hmph."
…………………………………………………..
"Don't you think it's a little too bright in this city?" Sora shielded his eyes.
Camille looked around. "Yeah, but I think you should refer to it as a town."
"Huh? But the size is WAY bigger than a town." Sora extended his arms to make a visual of his explanation.
"Look for yourself." Camille pointed at a sign that said, 'Twilight Town.'
"Oh, I guess I missed that."
They all explored this 'town.' They stopped at several stores and made contact with mostly friendly people. They bought some ice cream as a little snack while they wondered. Donald got strawberry, Goofy got chocolate, Camille got vanilla, and, Sora got a rainbow popsicle.
Camille was eating the last of her waffle cone while they passed a clothing store. She gulped down the last piece and pulled Sora into the store. "We'll take just a second!"
Sora shoved what was left of the popsicle in his mouth and slid the stick off. He swallowed it fast. "Aww man," he whined, "brain freeze." Sora threw the stick in the closest trash can. He threw it just before he was in the store.
Donald and Goofy exchanged glances and shrugged their shoulders. They sat down at a bench.
Store music played while Camille was dragging Sora around.
"Hey! Why are we here?" Sora's eyes wandered through the store.
"You've got to get something new to wear! You've outgrown your clothes and you've got a bloodstain on your shirt. Now come on." She hauled Sora off to another rack.
"Hmm…" Camille pulled out three different outfits. One had a deep navy blue t-shirt with a big, white, faded smiley face. A pair of khaki cargo shorts that came down to the knees was with the navy shirt. Another one had a white t-shirt rimmed with gray and a pair of a white version of the khaki pants. The last one was mainly black. It had white, red, and yellow items in some places. Black shorts accompanied it. Camille stuffed them in Sora's face. "Well, try them on! And pick the one that you like the best."
"Um…okay." Sora took the clothes and entered the dressing room. Five minutes later, Sora came out.
Camille popped in front of him. "So?"
"So what?"
"Which one did you choose?"
"I think I'll take the black one." Sora separated the black outfit from the others. He laid his future outfit on the counter for the cashier to pay for.
"That'll be 250 munny please."
Camille placed the munny on the counter.
"Would you like to wear this now?" the cashier asked.
Sora looked at Camille. She shrugged her shoulders. "It's your choice."
"I would, please." Sora headed towards the dressing room again and changed. He came out and put his old clothes in a charity bin.
"Thank you!" Camille waved to the cashier while Sora followed.
They headed towards Donald and Goofy. Donald was fussing about something and Goofy was staring at the sky.
"We're back!" Camille sat down on the bench.
Donald mumbled a few words and replied, "Well, it's about time. It seemed like you took ages in there. Now, we've got to keep going!"
Sora sighed and shoved his hands in his pockets.
…………………………………………………
"Hey! Look over there! It's a train station!" Goofy pointed at the station.
The group exchanged looks and decided to head into the train station, Twilight Station.
There were people bustling in and out of trains. Tickets were being handed out, clocks were hung everywhere, and lights glowed throughout the station.
Sora headed towards a conductor. "Excuse me sir, but when is the next train ride?"
"To where may I ask?"
"Um…to another world?" Sora bit his lip. 'I think I asked the wrong question.'
"Well," the conductor looked at his watch, "there's a train headed to Pride Rock in an hour. That's the earliest ride from now."
"Okay. Thank you." Sora walked over to his pals. "The next ride is an hour from now. It's going to Pride Rock."
"We might as well sit while we wait." Camille led her friends to the lobby where they could wait.
The gang sat and waited. They watched people scurry around the station, trains coming and leaving (but not to another world), and all of this other commotion. It was plain boring.
After it seemed like for ages, something exciting happened. Sora was sleeping on the bench when the lights flickered on and off. It startled him. "Huh?" He sat up, seeing that the lobby was clear. Except for the four of them. "Where is everyone?"
All of a sudden, a piercing scream penetrated through Twilight Station. The four friends stood up, ready for attack. They were alert of their surroundings. At that moment, white creatures came from all over.
'They're like white heartless,' Sora thought. He swung the Oblivion through three of them. His friends were doing the same thing, ridding the station of these creatures.
A flood of them poured in making it harder for them to defeat them. Their scissor-like legs are dangerous. Added with their strength make them a worthy opponent.
With the massive amount, the four of them were caught in the middle. These 'monsters' surrounded them. They tried their hardest to defend themselves. Their physical and magic attacks weren't enough.
THUD! The first to fall was Donald. Goofy fled to Donald's side, only to be defeated with him.
Camille and Sora stood back to back. They used a variation of attacks to try to confuse the white creatures. But they were too smart. Soon, they defeated Camille. Sora was left on his own.
One of them attacked from the act of surprise. Sora collapsed to the floor. One was about to attack Sora for his final fate. Sora closed his eyes and raised his arms as if for they were a defense. The attack never came. Sora slowly opened his eyes. In front of him, someone with a hooded cloak was defending Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Camille. He too had a keyblade. The creatures repelled from him, fleeing away. Soon, they were all gone. The figure turned around and revealed his face.
"KING MICKEY!" the group said in unison.
The king chuckled. "Yup! It's me!"
"Why are you here, sir?" Goofy asked.
"To save you. And to tell you something."
The foursome sat and listened.
"Now, I am part of the Organization."
"WHAT?"
"It's nothing to worry about."
Donald blurted, "But -"
King Mickey stopped Donald. "I'll be just fine." He paused then resumed. "You've been attacked by Dusks. New Heartless will appear, more frequently and more dangerous. Twilight Town will be your 'base.' I must go now. Take care!" After he said his last words, he disappeared into thin air.
Soon, everything was back to normal. Although Sora and co. missed their ride to Pride Rock, they hopped on the next train headed out of Twilight Town. It was headed for Destiny Islands.

Okay. That's the end of that. I won't be able to update for a while. I've got up to chapter 9 sketched out, but I still have to type it in. Well…
