A/N whee, chapter four, yay (unenthusiastic fanfare). Just kidding, I know I've said this already, but I like this story more than my last one, and from what I can tell by my hits, so do all of you. Now, all you need to do is start leaving reviews. Just one actual review, please (author gives puppy dog eyes)
DISCLAIMER...haven't I said this enough times to make you people happy? I DON'T OWN KH!!
Mickey led the group to the hanger. "Holy...cow" Matt said looking at the massive Gummi ship. It took up about half the hanger and was painted the same red, yellow, orange, and white as most other Gummi ships.
"What do you use this for exactly?" Sora asked.
"It's useful whenever I have to meet with some of the leaders from other worlds. Some of them are pretty large, so I needed a large ship" Mickey explained.
"Are some of them really that big Your Majesty?" Lily asked.
"Yup" Mickey asked as a ramp came down and he stepped on and went into the ship. The cockpit of the ship could have easily fit the old Gummi ship and still had room to spare.
"Good, plenty of room. No need to be worried about being squished by a wall and Goofy" Matt said sighing.
"Well, now that we have a large enough ship, where to first?" Riku asked.
"Well, I'm not really sure" Mickey said as he put his head in his hands. Everyone seemed to think for a few minutes. All of a sudden Matt started to jump up and down waving his arm.
"Oh, oh I know, I know!" he shouted while jumping.
"Okay, where do you have in mind?" Riku asked sighing.
"Radiant Garden" Matt suggested.
"Why there?" Naminé asked.
"Well, I figure that if we go there, then we could also ask everyone there if they know of where the Freesouls are attacking" Matt explained.
"That actually makes sense" Riku said after a minute.
"So then, Radiant Garden?" Donald asked.
"It's the best place to start" Kairi said.
"Lets go!" Sora shouted as he raised his hand in the air, his fist clutched.
"Someones excited" Roxas pointed out.
"Yeah, finally, a new adventure" Sora explained.
"Ahyuk, yeah, and this time, theres plenty of us" Goofy pointed out.
"Yeah, no way will we be stopped" Sora said. Riku looked over at Lily and saw her looking at something. He walked over to her and noticed she was looking at a pendent.
"What is that?" he asked. She jumped a little bit and quickly closed the locket.
"A memento" was all she said. Riku nodded his head. He quickly grabbed onto something as the ship plummeted down. It suddenly came to a stop and launched forward.
"Sorry, first step is always a dozy" Donald said from the pilot's chair.
"Little bit more warning would have been nice" Riku grumbled as he slowly got up. The flight went smoothly after that. After an hour and a half, they arrived at Radiant Garden. The whole place looked completely different than before. There were hundreds of people going in and out of the various shops and standing around talking. There was a large fountain in the middle of town.
"Whelp, we had better go see Merlin and talk to him" Mickey suggested.
"Think he's even in the same place?" Goofy asked.
"We wont know till we check" Mickey said as they headed out.
/\/\IN A DARK ROOM/\/\
"Please, they were stronger than I thought. Give me another chance, please" Heather begged. She was on the ground bleeding from several places. In front of her was a woman with long brown hair. She wore a red shirt with a blood red jacket over it and brown pants.
"Vhy vould ve give you another chance? You have failed us already. Az far az I'm concerned, you should have been killed long ago" the woman with a heavy accent said. In her hand was an extremely long whip that was barbed.
"HAHA, she has a point you know. Besides Matthew, your the only other human here. And Matthew has proved himself many times" the man with a deep voice said.
"As much as I hate it, I have to agree with him for once" the calm male voice said.
"So, give us a reason why you should live" a collected female voice said.
"I can get closer than any of you ever could. If I could gain their trust, I can bring them to you" Heather explained.
"No, they don't trust you now. You couldn't get any closer to them then we could" another female voice said.
"Enough, Heather, I shall give you one more chance. Kill them, and don't return until their dead" the leader said.
"I understand" Heather said as she left.
"Zat was at mistake" the heavily accented woman said.
"Maybe, but, should she fail, I have Matthew following her. He'll take care of her and the Keybearers" the leader said.
/\/\AT RADIANT GARDEN/\/\
"Whelp, here we are" Mickey said as they stepped in front of a door.
"Are you sure Your Majesty?" Donald asked. They had spent the last half hour wandering around trying to find the magicians house.
"Yup, I'm positive" Mickey said as he knocked on the door several times. A few seconds later the door was opened up. Standing there was a tall man with spiky blond hair. He was clothed in nothing but black clothes. On his back was a very wide sword.
"Hello there Sora, Your Majesty" the man said.
"Hey there Cloud, is Merlin here" Sora said. Cloud stepped out of the door revealing the magician sitting at the computer. He was still wearing his blue robes and his tall blue hat.
"How on earth does Cid use this thing?" Merlin asked out loud as he looked closely at the keys.
"Merlin, we have some guests" Cloud said as he shut the door. Merlin turned around.
"Oh, well if it isn't Sora and his friends, and Your Majesty, this is a surprise" Merlin said as he got up.
"Hello Merlin" Sora said as the magician shook everyone's hands.
"So, how have you been doing?" he asked.
"Same old same old, go out, save the worlds" Matt replied.
"Ah, I see" Merlin said.
"Actually, we came to ask if you know of any attacks on worlds" Riku said.
"Hmmm, you would have to wait until Cid comes back, I can't figure out how to use that computer" Merlin told the group.
"How long till he gets back?" Goofy asked.
"It should be in just a few minutes" Merlin said. At that moment the door slammed open. Standing in the door frame was a man in white shirt with an orange stripe in the middle of it. In his mouth was a piece of straw.
"Well, if it aint Sora and his friends. How y'all doin?" Cid asked in his deep southern accent.
"Fine, we came to ask if you have heard of any attacks on any of the other worlds" Sora told the man.
"Hang on just a second and I'll tell ya" Cid said as he sat down.
"I tried to figure out how to work that thing, but nothing would work" Merlin said. Cid seemed to stiffen in his seat.
"WHO SAID YOU COULD GET CLOSE TO THE COMPUTER?!" Cid shouted. Everyone fell backward.
"Well, sorry, but I had to look at some stuff" Merlin said. Cid punched a few keys, and nothing happened.
"Look at what you've done now. The darn thing wont even turn on!" Cid shouted.
"How long till it's fixed?" Kairi asked nervously.
"I would have to say at least a few days" Cid said sighing as he turned around.
"Well, what do we do until then?" Roxas asked.
"I've got no idea" Naminé admitted.
"Well, we could wander around town" Lily suggested.
"That sounds like a good idea. I saw some things in a shop I wouldn't mind having" Kairi said.
"Yeah, let's do it" Naminé said.
"Um, I think I'll pass" Matt told the girls as he stepped away.
"Me too" Riku said as he repeated Matt's gesture. Kairi and Naminé were both looking at Sora and Roxas.
"Uhhh..." the both said at the same time.
"They can't go" Cloud said simply.
"What, why?" both girls demanded.
"I need all of them for something. If you wouldn't mind, would you join us Donald, Goofy, Your Majesty?" Cloud asked.
"Ahyuk, why sure Cloud" Goofy said.
"Sorry, but I had better stay here in case Cid needs some help" Mickey said. "But you and Donald go on ahead" Mickey said.
"Are you sure?" Donald asked.
"Yup, I should be fine on my own for a while" Mickey said. Everyone stepped outside, and Kairi and Naminé both grabbed their boyfriends and gave them hugs before they left. Sora and the rest went in the opposite direction.
"So, what are we up to Cloud?" Sora asked.
"We converted Maleficent's castle into a training area. We need someone strong to test it" Cloud said simply.
"So, a little bit of training, eh?" Matt asked.
"More or less" was all Cloud said.
"Well, we could use it after a year off" Roxas pointed out.
"I have to agree with you on that" Riku said.
A/N don't worry, the girls will get their own form of training too. Please review.
