Chapter Three:

Ambushed

King Mickey's gold Gummy Ship landed in the sea near the tree island. "Finally, he's here!" Riku said as he jumped down in the water the water to greet him.

"Here's your Keyblades everyone!" Mickey said as he handed Riku's to him. "We don't have time for hellos. I need to explain everything to you immediately."

"Mickey, what's going on?" Riku asked as he climbed the ladder to get up to the island.

"Sora, Kairi, here are your Keyblades." Mickey said as he jumped up onto the tree.

"Sora, Riku, I know how you thought you killed Organization XIII and Xehanort's Heartless, but they didn't disappear completely. They were transported to Kingdom Hearts." Mickey said as he scratched his chin.

"Wait You Majesty, how did you get into Kingdom Hearts?" Sora asked.

"Sora, how didja know that I was in Kingdom Hearts?" Mickey asked.

"Well, you were talking about the enemies I defeated in Kingdom Hearts, so it was kinda obvious.

"Gee, you're smart." Mickey said as he jumped down off of the tree. "Xemnas and Maleficent are working together."

"What else did you want to talk about?" Riku asked as he propped his Keyblade against his shoulder.

"Well, Maleficent is using her Heartless to merge with the Nobodies that Organization XIII call to make humans!" Mickey said as he waved Kairi to come over to where he Sora and Riku were.

"I have one theory that might solve this problem." Sora said as he put a grim look on his face.

"What's that Sora?" Kairi asked as she folded her arms, knowing what he was about to say.

"When I was in Hollow Bastion a year ago, I took a Dark Keyblade and stabbed myself with it, creating Heartless and Nobody. So if we all get Dark Keyblades, we'd be able to defeat the humans." Sora said remembering the void in his mind when he became a Heartless in Hollow Bastion.

"How are we gonna get Dark Keyblades huh?" Kairi asked as she unfolded her arms.

"I think that King Mickey should be able to answer that." Sora answered.

"Well, if I can get us into Kingdom Hearts, we'd be able to receive Dark Keyblades along with new regular Keyblades as long as we sacrifice the Keyblades we have now." Mickey said with a hint of doubt in his voice.

"I think you'd better get us into Kingdom Hearts fast 'cause look who came to crash the party." Riku said as he pointed up towards the sky where an army of Gummi Ships loaded with the Homo sapiens came bombarding towards Destiny islands.

At that moment, Mickey raised a fist up into the air and gold energy started to flow through his hand. Then he shot a gold sphere at an empty area of the sea, and a large white door with elaborate marble carvings placed at the top of it. "C'mon guys, we need to open the door before they land!" Sora yelled as he raised his Keyblade towards the door.

The king, Riku, and Kairi did the same and the door was forced open.

"I hope that this time around, you will keep loyal to us." Xemnas said as he kicked Axel in the stomach.

"I will never be loyal to you bast-" Axel was cut short by another kick in the stomach.

"Xemnas, stop this immediately!" Maleficent said.

"Lexaeus! Come here immediately!" Xemnas bellowed.

"Kill him." Xemnas said as Lexaeus walked into the room.

"No, it's against my peaceful disposition." Lexaeus said.

"What peaceful disposition!" Xemnas yelled as he grabbed Lexaeus's tomahawk and smashed Axel's head in. A dark, thick red liquid seeped out onto the floor around Axel's head.
