Their goal was to take back their friend.

My goal was to go back to my hometown and act like nothing ever happened. But that's most likely not to happen any time soon…

Chapter VII: Wage War

Right after showing me the image of whom we were going to take back, King Mickey and Riku started getting ready. I just stood there, "Um… what are we going to do when we get there?" I asked.

When King Mickey finished his set up, he looked over at me, "We're going to take him back as hard as we can, even if there's going to be fighting involved!"

Fighting? "B-but I can't fight!" Sure, I saw a lot of events where Hayner and Seifer fought, and maybe even Pence fight, but I, I never joined in on any physical trouble.

King Mickey laughed, and that made me sad. But his clever words impressed me, "Fight with your heart!" is what he said. He gripped his hand over his chest, and suddenly, a new courage was built inside me. At that while, Riku has finished packing too, "Okay, let's go!" Riku opened up a portal with a wave of a hand. This terrified me to death. His portal looked vaguely familiar. It was the same looking portal that the red haired man opened. With broad eyes, I stepped back wards, "Olette?" King Mickey called, cocking his head to the side, "What's wrong? We have to go," I shook my head, never letting my eyes escape from that portal.

"Come on Olette," A warm hand took one of my hand that was shaking off to my side. It was him again, "Come on, it's nothing to be scared of," He gave a gentle smile. He tugged at my hand tenderly, giving it a little squeeze. I still didn't let go of my fear though, but he helped me get through it by cupping my face with his other free hand, "I'll help you get through it," He told me. Somehow, his words comforted me. I felt safe with him. I feel like I can get through this with him by my side…

"That's it…" His words were replaced by King Mickeys, and we were just finishing going through the portal. I winced. Where was he? Before I could ask, King Mickey and Riku were already going through another dark portal, "With this last one, we'll get to the other side, okay?" I nodded, feeling a little pang in my heart.

On the other side of the portal was a totally different place. It was that same place as the one I saw on that one TV screen. Like the image on TV showed, it was dark, and no signs of life. Blinking lights of the buildings shined its way down on us as we walked through the streets. I looked up. A heart shaped moon… "Olette, put your hood on, okay?" King Mickey ordered, and I followed his command, "You don't when strange things can happe----"

"Well, well, well. Look what we got here three little mousies ready to get caught in a trap!" A familiar voice came from above. All of us looked up at a tall hotel building. One of the cloaked men stood on top of it, and the other shorter one stood by his side. It was hard to see their full figure since the moon was right behind them.

Riku suddenly summoned a weapon to his hand. It looked evil, like his figure does. King Mickey also called upon his weapon, which looked like a… key…? A huge one in fact. They were in stances for a fight, "W-w-wait!! You guys are really going to fight!?" I kind of guessed they were going to, but this fight isn't fought with foamy fake swords. It's a real battle. Almost like a war between four people. And what am I supposed to do? Just stare and watch and fight with my heart.

Everything began so quickly, and it's still moving on so rapidly. One is fighting with another and weapons are repeatedly clashing, creating a violent piece of music. The lights that the weapons make each hit makes it look like fireworks. Then I image the most random thing: I'm back in the summer festival. The music is playing, and the curse words has replaced into chattering of people around me. The light they keep on making are fireworks. Not the best ones, but they're good enough. I can sense Hayner and Pence with me. Their warmth by my side. Then… then this other boy is next to me. His name… his name is----

"Watch out!!!" Riku's voice suddenly reverts me back into reality. One of the weapons was about to hit me! A red round looking thing that envelopes itself with strong, bright fire. And it's about ready to hit the hell out of me. I'm wide open for attacks, I wasn't even behind any walls or anything. I was just an open target. Ready for my death, I tightly shut my eyes. I can feel the warmth encircling me. But I feel no pain. I crack one eye open and I see Riku standing before me. He took the damage.

"Riku!!" King Mickey yelled from his battle ground, and taking this as a chance, the enemy hit him hard with his weapon to the ground. No way, are we losing? With just one blow, both of them are down. Riku collapses to his knees, and try to help him by keeping a tight hold of him. This was all my fault.

See, I told you my daydreaming would cause some kind of trouble…
