Chapter 8: Everything connected...to me?
The next morning, everyone met up with each other at breakfast. Afterwards they packed up their things and boarded the gummie. Sora sat in the driver's seat and prepared for takeoff. Everyone strapped themselves in with King Mickey as his co-pilot.
"Is everything ready?" Sora asked through the com link of the ship.
"Good to go Sora. Everyone's all set." Riku had pushed a button on the wall where he could communicate to the bridge.
"Ok, here we go!" Sora pressed some buttons firing the engines, making the gummie lift slowly off the ground. Sora grabbed the steering lever and pulled back slowly, making the nose of the ship to point upwards. "Ready to see our friends?" Sora turned to the King with a smile.
"Fire away Sora."
Sora pulled on a lever on the console. They quickly gained speed, finally launching them into the atmosphere. Once they broke through and were gliding safely in outer space, Sora launched them onto hyper-space, leaving Disney Castle behind them.
After a few minutes of silence, King Mickey was still trying to figure out a way to tell Sora, that there was something about the mission that concerned only with him. He first wanted to hear from Yen-Sid about the new danger they would be facing, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt he should tell him, even though Yen-Sid also wanted to tell him. He closed his eyes to think. He fought everything inside of him from telling Sora and made up his mind that waiting would be for the best right now. JUST A little bit longer pal, then you can connect some of the puzzle piece together and help them. Sora looked over at his mousey friend who seemed deep in thought.
"Hey, you ok your Majesty?" Sora said with a hint of concern in his voice.
Mickey was snapped out of his thoughts when he looked at Sora who seemed concerned "Huh? Oh haha. Just thinking about stuff." He patted the journal that lay there, sitting in his lap. "Nothin to worry about."
"Hopefully Yen-Sid can explain some more. If there are worlds that are still shrouded in darkness, then I want to help."
Sora had a glimmer of determination in his eyes that pleased the King. If it was Sora who was called to bring all the worlds and the hearts to peace, then he could do it.
Sora looked at his tiny friend and smiled, "And I have my friends with me this time."
"That you do Sora." Mickey smiled back

Deep in the dark void, where most lost souls don't even reach, a portal opened to reveal the hooded figure. He raised his hand toward a vast open less sea. There was no wind, no sound of waves, everything was eerily still.
"Out of the depths, you shall return. A life you want, I can give. Emotions. Feelings. A heart that beats. Help me with this task I ask and you shall receive."
The words seemed to echo over the lifeless water, as the hooded man paused as if waiting for something to happen. Then with a sudden shout.
"COME FORTH! SEEK YOUR REVENGE! THE TIME HAS COME, THE TIME IS YOURS. JOIN ME!"
The hooded man stared over the sea, his last words looming over it. He looked down to his feet, feeling the water splash on them. Slowly the water receded back, but once again rolled up onto the shore. A low rumble began to echo over the surface of the water. A small smirk grew on the man's face, knowing what was coming from its hidden depths. Suddenly it looked as if there was black bubbles' forming on the surface, but as they got closer, you could see hooded heads popping through the surface. Slowly revealing several bodies scattered about heading toward shore. After all of them reached the shore line, stepping on the black sea sand, the hooded man who summoned them, stood there proud and commanding, crossing his arms in satisfaction at his new army. One of the men spoke with humor in his voice, from the sudden state that he found himself in.
"Well would you look at that. Who do we owe this great pleasure to?" He said waving a hand in the air.
"Just call me...Lord Xen." He chuckled at the name, but for now, it fit him to a tee. This is going to be better than I had hoped.

At arriving upon the mysterious tower, the gummie set down just a few feet hundred meters away. Everyone hopped off the gummie to stare at the lone tower that stretched to the sky.
"Gosh, it's been years since I have seen master Yen-Sid. Place hasn't changed a bit." The King said looking around.
"What does he look like?" Kairi was intrigued to see what this powerful man looked like.
"Old and grey, just like Merlin." Riku joked
"I am not old and grey!" A familiar voice sounding out of nowhere. "I am a powerful wizard."
"That voice sounds awfully familiar." Sora said in a thoughtful manner. He put his hand by his chin as if he were thinking.
Just then blue smoke appeared around them. "As it should. It is I the Great Merlin." Then the blue smoke faded away to see the old and grey wizard., wearing a blue robe with a long blue pointy hat that seemed to droop a little at the very tip of his hat.
"Merlin." Sora shouted happily. "Where's Leon and the others?" asking excitedly.
"Why they are already with Yen-Sid. We heard the gummie so I came to get you." Merlin then with a wave of his hand and a POOF! They were enveloped with blue smoke. Everyone coughed slightly as they were not prepared and breathed it in. As it dispersed, they realized they were now in Ye-Sid's study along with everyone else.
"Welcome everyone, we've been waiting for you." Yen-Sid looked at his old apprentice. "It's good to see you again Mickey."
"Same here. I got your letter and it worries me. Id it really that bad?"
Yen-Sid nodded. "Yes, I'm afraid so old friend. I would like to speak to you privately first. For I see that both problems are interlinked together."
Mickey nodded and followed him to another room, leaving everyone for a reunion that was greatly appreciated.
Everyone started to greet each other, catching up with old times, when two mysterious men came through the door, making Sora's crew gasp.
"A-axel?" Sora was floored to see his arch enemy, or friend, he was not quite sure what he was, but he was right before him, making his stomach churn with excitement. AXEL? Roxas was just as suprised as he was it seemed. "How did you...how could you? Huh?" He was now scratching his head.
The two in the door way just stared at each other, when the one who looked like Axel spoke. "I don't know who this Axel character is, but I think you got the wrong guy." He turned to his bald dark skinned friend. "Do I look like an Axel to you?"
"He just smirks crossing his arms. "I think you look like an idiot."
The Axel look alike made a wincing face. "Ouch, that hurt." He placed his hand over his chest. "Real deep."
The bald friend just rolled his eyes. "Ya whatever."
Everyone just stared at the two who look as if they were bickering when Leon stepped next to Sora. "That would be Reno; oddly enough they do look the same. The one who is bald is Rude."
The two stopped what they were doing and turned their attention back on the crowd. "Bald? Did you just call me bald Squall?"
"Easy there boy. Just don't listen to him." Reno was patting his good friend on the shoulder.
"So yer not Axel?" Goofy asked scratching his head.
"Sorry pal, but you got the wrong guy.' He seemed to have some black bar in his hand as he rested the bar on his shoulder.
"They do look the same." Kairi noted. "And act the same." Sora nodded in agreement.
"And dress the same." Goofy added making everyone look at him in confusion.
"How does a black robe and a suit be the same?" Donald said tapping his foot annoyed.
"Well, they both wear black." Goofy just smiled with an added ha-yuck, making Donald lose his temper and hit him over the head with his staff. "Ya big palooka."
Reno groaned. "You guys are annoying. Anyway, did we miss the meeting or are you just slacking off?"
"Actually you're right on time. The King is talking to Yen-Sid right now." Aeirth said cheerfully, holding her hands in front of her.
Just then the door that led to where Yen-Sid had taken King Mickey opened the door and the wizard and mouse came back into the room. Yen-Sid sat in his chair at his desk. "I see two more have joined us. Let us begin shall we. King Mickey would you like to start with the information from the computer and journal."
"Certainly Yen-Sid. It was a few months ago we found a journal with some unusual words. We could not understand them so we built a computer so that we could read the journal." Mickey paused for a moment planning on what he would say next. "Welp we found out that there was an uncoded Namine and that she was trying to send us a message. . . Everything that was ever connected to you is in pain. People from the past that you never even knew to the people who you may meet in the future, to the people like Roxas and Namine. They need you to reconnect, to put the pieces back together. Everyone is waiting for you Sora, not only to stop this new threat, but also for themselves."
Sora stood there confused. It was hard enough trying to figure the Roxas thing out, but now everyone he has ever known, talked to, or even seen are connected to him. "How is that possible? How is everyone connected to me?"
"You see Sora; your heart is the most powerful thing out there. It's so strong that people are linked to you. People from the past have hope in you. It was your love for your friends, wanting to protect them, your pureness. Everything that you are is a bright light for then to follow and link to your heart. Just like how Namine could rearrange your memories, your heart will lead them to happiness and to a world where there is no more pain and they can live in peace."
Sora was floored. Everyone was counting on him, not just saving the world this time, they need saving form themselves. "How do I do that you're Majesty. How will I know who they are?"
"Your heart will lead you to where you need to go and who to see. Trust in your heart, it will lead the way."
Mickey then nodded at Yen-Sid motioning him that is now his turn.
"There have been signs that there is another princess of heart, more powerful than the rest. She is in grave danger."
There you have it folks another princess of heart. I wonder who it is? Can you guess? Well i decided to cut it there so that you would have something to read while i still work out the next chapter and how I want it to unfold. Take care guys and until next time XD
