Chapter Six: M.I.C.K.E.Y.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Kingdom Hearts, nor am I associated with those who do. I hope you enjoy this chapter, because this is where it starts to get suspenseful. Oooh…

Demyx was the first to notice.

"Zexion? Zexion! Hold on, Zexy! We're coming!" He exclaimed as he ran over to the First Aid Center in his monkey patterned footy pajamas. Axel and Xigbar quickly followed, demanding that Marluxia stay and make sure the kids are safe. As they entered they saw no one. The secretary was gone, the seats were empty, and frankly, it was quite creepy. All the lights were out except for a dim spark in the distance. They all held hands, thanks to Demyx, and made their way down the hall. All was well for a while, and suddenly Axel realized one of his hands were empty. "Demyx?" No answer. Then he realized his other hand was free as well! "Xiggy? Demyx? Guys, this is so not funny!" No answer. "Dudes? Oh man, this is real." He murmured. He kept walking to see if the distant light would give him any clues. He found the light but there was nothing. "This is some serious bull…" He was cut off as he set foot on a peculiar tile. It sunk into the floor and a piece of paper flew down from the ceiling. He looked up, but no one was there. He looked at the paper and saw it was a letter! It read…

So, I see you have found the light. Beginners luck. You must be worrying about your friends, right? Don't worry, they're safe. For now. I have one with me now. The others, however, are scattered around camp. Can you find them all? You're first clue is this:

Swimming in the ocean blue

That's where you will find your next clue.

Until then,

M.I.C.K.E.Y.

As he closed the note, he had so many questions floating around, not to mention emotions. But he knew he had no time to lose. He rushed to the ocean and was surprised. He was right; the ocean was beautiful at night. He scurried to the edge and saw Demyx tied up under water. He saw Axel and started shaking vigorously, multiple bubbles coming from his mouth. Axel dove in, cursing "M.I.C.K.E.Y." for ruining his hair. He reached out to Demyx and saw there was a bomb on him. He had thirty seconds to get him out of there or else… Axel didn't even want to think about it. He got to work. Origami camp, don't fail me now! He thought as he began undoing the knot. Demyx's eyes were starting to close, but Axel couldn't worry about that right now. Ten seconds. The knot was loose! Now just get Demyx free- there! He tried to swim to the surface, carrying most of Demyx's weight on his arm, but was blasted up in a sudden explosion. He screamed as he plummeted to the ground. The two landed, rather harshly, and Axel began doing CPR on Demyx. There was no way they were going back to First Aid. Demyx's eyes began to flutter open.

"Erg… what happened?" He asked groggily. Axel shook his head.

"No time to explain. Maybe later. But right now you have to help me find the second clue. It's a letter." But just as Axel was about to begin searching, a piece of paper washed up on the shore.

"The letter!" Axel exclaimed as he ran towards the clue. This one read…

One down, nine to go. Let's see where your adventure leads you. Here's what your next clue is:

Reading can take you to different places

Beware for rather unfriendly faces.

Until next time,

M.I.C.K.E.Y.

"Who the hell is Mickey?" Demyx asked shuddering. He must be freezing from the water.

"He's the bastard that got us into this mess. And we'll find him and kick his ass. But first we have to save the others! To the library!" They hurried along to find their friends. Little did they know a certain bastard was observing them way up in the papou trees.

"So close yet so far away from the truth." It said, before following the duo to their next destination.

I told you guys the story was going to get serious. That was a close one wasn't it? My hands were actually shaking as I typed this chapter! I hope you enjoyed it, and I can't wait to show you the next chapter. If you liked it, review and tell me what you liked about it! :D Until next time. (Muahaha.)
