Chapter 7: Dark Magic and How to Manipulate It
It was a pretty silent trip in the Gummi ship. Sora hadn't said a thing since they departed and this was driving Donald and Goofy crazy! Donald still piloting the ship, Goofy walks over to Sora and sits in the seat next to him. Goofy: Er…..Sora, uh…Sora didn't respond or budge an inch. Goofy: Well, uh…..you're gunna have to tell King Mickey what happened anyway so…Sora saying under his breath looking down at his lap: Kairi doesn't…even remember me…Goofy's face turned slightly worried then he turns his head over in the direction of the window, looking at the stars and worlds. Goofy turning his head back over to Sora saying sarcastically: Why don't I believe that? Sora: I'm telling you, she's mind-warped! It's as if….well…..this guy called Axel took my place or something and- Goofy: Whoa, whoa slow down Sora. As crazy as you sounds- Sora: THAT. Goofy: Fine, as crazy as that sounds, I know for SURE that no one can take your place in Kairi's heart. Why, you wouldn't have told us to take you to the king if it weren't true! Donald saying from behind the wheel raising his hand with his index finger pointed: She's just hungry! Sora shouting after in response: As that your reason for everything! Donald and Goofy laugh. Sora: I'm sorry guys…I'm just- Goofy saying with a smile: We know…..Suddenly a thud welcomes their arrival to the Disney Kingdom. All three jumps out of the cockpit and walk to the entrance of the castle. Seeing King Mickey walking out to greet them, Donald and Goofy start bowing to him. Sora forgetting to bow: Your Majesty, I need answers! Donald nudging his side: Sora, show some manners! Sora: Oh, sorry! Mickey saying with his hand over his mouth chuckling: It's ok. Now…lets just get to the Royal library. Queen Minnie should be there with tea and cookies. The group follows their king to the Royal library just as he had said. When they walk in, Queen Minnie curtsies and Sora, Donald, and Goofy bow. Minnie: Oh how wonderful! Mickey wasn't kidding when he said that you've turned into a nice young man! Sora blushing: Oh, he said that? Queen Minnie nods and takes a seat at the table, and King Mickey and the group do the same. Minnie: Now…what's been troubling you Sora? Donald and Goofy had said you were very upset! Sora looks down again at his feet: Well….Fine. So, I went back to the islands, so I could see Kairi again. I looked everywhere and I ended up being captured by the Organization 13. Mickey and Minnie's faces become serious. Mickey: Go on…Sora: And…they were trying to get their friend back…..who was it…..Roxas? Don't sweat it I know who he is already. During my trials, I ran into Kairi…and it seems as if she's joined them. Minnie: Oh I'm sure she didn't do it willing…Sora:…..and that's not all. She has no clue what her real name is, and who I am at all. What we did together…..and her feelings are all revolved around this guy named Axel. Mickey: Bingo…Sora: Huh…..? Minnie: Axel is a member of the Organization 13…Mickey: The Organization's power is harnessed by powerful magic. Dark magic….King Mickey puts his hand over his chin and closes his eyes: Hmm….Sora gets up and places both hands ob the table: What is it? What's wrong! Mickey: Something's telling me they learned Namine's magic and how to master it. From what you've told me, it sounds like Axel replaced Kairi's memory of you with him instead. Sora's face went frozen. King Mickey rises from the chair and glances at the bookshelf left to right. Goofy: What are you doing your majesty? Mickey: Looking for a book Master Yen Sid gave me during the times I was his apprentice. Ah! Here it is! Sora could you get me that blue book I'm pointing to? Sora walks over next to the King and pulls it out from above him and gives it to him. Mickey brushes off the dust with his hand and reads out the title of the book: Dark Magic and How to Manipulate It. The book was turquoise blue and it had a Wizarding hat in the center of it.
