Chapter 10

---------------M-I-C-K-E-Y---------------

Mickey walked towards the clear glass, and saw Pete.

"Pete?" he asked faintly. He was so tired, and his right arm was bleeding.

Pete was turned the other way, "well it took you long enough." Pete said whipping his head around. He saw the King's bloody arm. "Mickey, I... I', sorry, I didn't mean that."

"It's okay," he said as he smashed the glass with Oblivion. The glass shattered allowing Pete full escape.

"Thanks pal, now what?" he asked.

"We've got to get you out of this castle, and I've got to face my memories alone," Mickey replied.

"What, in the condition your in, I ain't goin' nowheres," Pete said strongly. Mickey looked up at Pete's eyes, he had changed. The darkness within him was fading and fast.

"Thanks Pete."

---------------S-O-R-A---------------

Kairi, where are you, why did you leave the island? Is she gone, gone forever, was it Ryan who kidnapped you? I'll get him, I'll destroy him.

"WHOA!" He shouted as I jolted up from a sleeping state. How long have I been sleeping? Sora stared around the pure white town, "Christmas Town."

He looked around for Donald and Sally, but he didn't find either of them.

"S... Sora?" asked a voice. He jumped to his feet, and summoned his Keyblade.

"Santa? Sora asked. The man shook his head. Sora dashed up to the man and wrapped his arms around him. "Santa where are all my friends!"

"Calm down Sora, your friends might not be with you, but I assure you they are all safe," he replied.

"Thank you Santa," Sora said as he broke from the hug. "We have to get out of here, Christmas Town is in danger."

"I know, Oogie lead heartless after the real Doctor Ficklestien. The two worked together to shrink Christmas Town, and other Towns. They plan to destroy them all, and make Halloween the only holiday,"Santa said.

"No, way!"Sora said, "so, no more easter, or Christmas."

"Nothing, but Halloween will be left," he said.

"But, what about the Anti Heartless?" asked Sora.

"The Anti Heartless are actually the heartless forms of those who resent the darkness, so many people in Halloween Town will be taken by the Heartless, the town may even be in danger of being destroyed," he said flatly.

"I knew there was something strange about that formula," Sora said. "I've got to find Sally, maybe she has the missing ingredients."

"You can't go on without us Sora," said a voice from behind. "C'mon Sora let's go."

"Jack! And Donald!" Sora yelled as he ran towards the two. "What happened?"

"The doctor shrank us as we walked into the lab, then locked us in Christmas Town," said Donald.

"Did you say... locked?" Sora asked holding up his Keyblade. "Not for long."

"But wait Sora there is more to the story," said Jack. "Having shrank Christmas Town he has complete control, meaning he has moved the exit from Christmas Town to another point."

"Why couldn't he just destroy the exit?" asked Sora.

"Because you can't, the sacred seal on the exit prevents any evil source from destroying it, the only way to actually destroy the exit, is to destroy the world, which is exactly what they plan on doing."

"Then we don't have much time," Sora said as he was about to run in the opposite direction.

"Actually, you have lot's of time, Sally still has ingredients for the Anti Heart, and it would take the doctor forever to find those ingredients."

"Yeah, I guess your right, but where is Sally now?" Sora asked.

"In Easter Town with Donald," he said.

"Okay," said Sora as he turned to his friends, "let's find that exit!"

"Yeah," the two said.

---------------A-X-E-L---------------

"Did you get a hold of him?" asked Axel as the man in the black coat walked through the doors.

"I haven't failed if that's what you mean," he said.

"Answer the question, does he want to kill Sora, or not?" Axel asked.

"I have set him on the right track, as long as he isn't derailed all will fall in place," the man replied.

"Good, even though your new to the Organization XIII, I'm starting to like you, well I would if I had a heart," Axel said as he whipped a smile across his face. "This could be the beginning of a good friendship."

"Very unlikely. I don't associate with anarchists," he said leaving the room.

"So stubborn, but hopefully this all pays in the end, my one friend, and true friend will be reunited with me," Axel said as he faded into darkness.

"Juvenile," the man replied in a calm whisper.

---------------R-Y-A-N---------------

I walked to the door of the bathroom with my Newly found gray shirt, and tan cargo pants. The window in the living room was open, I walked up to in and tried to close it, but I got nervous, we were on he fiftieth floor. I let it stay open and walked into the bedroom, where Yumi, Max, and Huey slept.

I yawned and jumped into the bed where Yumi slept, and closed my eyes. Sora, why would you do something like that, force me off my own island. I then began to wonder why I was just beginning to think about all of this now. Why didn't I ponder upon this fact before?

"Yumi, are you awake?" I asked. She was snoring. Great, the girl I like snores, oh well. Love requires sacrifice. I shut my eyes, and drifted into my dreams.

---------------S-O-R-A---------------

Sora walked through the snowy town along with Jack, and Donald.

"Gee Sora, where do ya think this door could be?" asked Donald.

"Where would Oogie hide that door?"" Jack asked.

Sora stopped, and started thinking, "where would Oogie hide the door?" Suddenly many heartless jumped out in front of the three friends. The Keyblade summoned itself, but instead of aiming towards the Heartless it pointed in the opposite direction.

"Sora what're you doin'?" Donald asked.

"It's not me this thing has a mind of its own," Sora said as the Keyblade pointed at the sky. A flash of light, and then a giant Keyhole. Inside the Keyhole was darkness, pure darkness. The three stood still as the Keyhole expanded, it covered all three of them.

"Sora!" Jack yelled in fading voice. He sounded as if he were running in another direction.

So did Donald, "SOMEBODY COME QUICK!" The darkness took Sora's Keyblade, and he couldn't find his way out. He was able to walk, below him was solid ground, but what was it?

"Hello?" he asked. Without warning he fell over some kind of ledge. He fell, father and farther, faster and faster. He didn't stop, he couldn't stop. He fell through some kind of door, and then he saw pearly white walls, floor, and doors. He landed on his feet and looked around the large room. Two large doors, but only able to go through one.

"Hello?" he asked again. Behind him another door opened, a small man in a black coat stepped into the room along with him. He was short and had big ears. "Your majesty, the King!"

"King Mickey isn't here," he said. "How did you get here?"

"I don't know," Sora replied. The man drew a Keyblade, a white one with a paopu leaf dangling off the end of it. "Mickey, where is the other Keyblade?"

"I told you before, I'm not your King," he said as he jumped towards Sora. Sora blocked the attack with a counter swing with his Keyblade. The man flipped backwards, and landed on his two feet.

"But, how could you not be our King, nobody else looks like you," Sora said with a smile on his face.

"Nobody, is what you figure," the man said dashing towards Sora. He jumped out of the way in a hurry avoiding his attack, but the man wasn't done yet. He jumped up, and whipped Sora's face with his Keyblade, leaving a bloody scar across his cheek.

"Who are you?" Sora asked. The man vanished without a word. "Where am I?" Suddenly a man in a black coat appeared in front of Sora. "Now who are you?"

The man didn't say a word, he only grabbed Sora's collar, and led him to one of the two doors. Sora screamed and tried to escape, but the man didn't care. The door opened revealing a room of nothing, but light. As he was brought into the room it just went black. His eyes were closed.

"SORA!" yelled Jack. Sora slowly opened his eyes. Halloween Town!

"We're back!"he yelled.

"Yeah, but Sally's still in Easter Town," said Donald.

"And we're still Puny," said Jack.
