Sora, Donald, and Goofy went downstairs and opened the door. Chip and Dale were fighting about who gets to open the tunnel.
"I get to open the tunnel!!"
"Dale, the last time you did that you almost broke it!"
"Hey that was an accident I………..Sora!!" Dale exclaimed as he ran up to him jumping up and down.
Sora smiled and bent down. "Hey Dale, man have I missed you!" he said.
Dale nodded. "I heard you guys were on a top secret mission! So let's get you guys out of here!" he said as he ran back up to the control room.
Chip waved from the window. "Hey Sora, glad that your back!" he said through the microphone.
Sora felt happy that he was actually back where he belonged.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy got into the Gummi Ship. Sora sat in the front while Donald and Goofy sat on either side of him. "Now if I'm not mistaken, The World That Never Was is a long ways away correct?" he said through the microphone.
"Correct Sora, but there is a port hole by Port Royal, and that will lead you to your destination. It won't take that long I promise." Said Chip in his usual squeaky voice.
Sora nodded. "Okay then let's go." He said as he pushed the on button.
Donald rolled his eyes. "I want to drive!" he yelled.
Sora turned his chair around. "No! I get to drive!" he said.
"But you could make us crash! I'm more experienced." He said as he crossed his arms.
"Okay how about this, I drive there, and you drive back?"
Donald was about to say something, then paused and nodded. "Deal." He said.
Sora laughed, nothing had changed.
Sora heard a loud noise and he looked up, the tunnel that took us out of here had opened up.
"Alright guys your ready to go!" Chip and Dale yelled together.
Sora eased the Gummi Ship up as it was unlatched, he then pulled the throttle down and the Gummi Ship zoomed off into the sky.
After about 20 minutes or so they came up to Port Royal.
"There's the port hole!" Goofy exclaimed as he pointed to the yellow and black hole.
"Let's hope that Chip and Dale were right." Donald said.
They went through the port hole and that increased the speed.
Then soon they found The World That Never Was. It was the same as when they had left it, a big city with a floating castle above it, and of course it was darker than ever, showing no signs of life.
"Well he must be pretty special if King Mickey wanted us to go get him." Sora said as he pictured an incredibly strong man, with a huge long sword.
Donald shrugged. "Well, he is King Mickey's friend, you would do the same for Riku right?" he asked.
Sora nodded. "Of course, well let's go get him. I can almost guarantee you that he's up in that castle." He said as he landed the Gummi Ship on the castle.
They hopped out and looked around. "Sora, this place still gives me the creeps." Goofy said.
Sora and Donald nodded. "Yeah me too." They both said in unison
They made their way up the steps and into the castle. It was pretty dark, so Donald used his staff as a flashlight.
"Where do you thing he might be at?" Donald asked.
"Well, we basically walked around this whole castle before, and I'm guessing that nobody moved him anywhere else, so my guess is the basement." Sora said as they found stairs that led under the ground floor.
They walked down stairs and it was even darker than it was upstairs. They walked along a hallway and came up to a big door. They all looked at each other. "Do you think he's in there?" Goofy asked.
Sora shrugged. "Only one way to find out." he said as he pushed open the door.
They looked inside and couldn't see anything.
"Well, I guess he's not in here." Goofy said as he started walking the other way.
"Wait! I see something!" Donald called as he saw something that was glowing.
They all walked toward and examined it. It was a huge white coffin-like structure.
"Guys I think he's in here!" he said.
"You think?" Donald said as he rolled his eyes.
"Hey guys I found a light switch!" Goofy exclaimed as he turned it on. They all had to shield their eyes, waiting for them to adjust. They looked up and found that they were in a completely white room.
Sora pressed his ear up to the chamber thing and heard deep breathing.
"It sounds like he's sleeping." Sora said. He then remembered the time when he had been in something just like this. "I think it's one of those sleeping chambers that we were in!" he exclaimed.
Donald nodded. "You might be right, but how to you open it?" he asked.
Sora looked around it and found a keyhole. He smiled and the Keyblade appeared in his hand. He held it out and a beam of light struck out of it and went into the keyhole. He unlocked it and it slowly started to open.
He backed up and then he eyes went wide.
Floating in mid-air was a beautiful girl that was about his age. She had long blonde hair, fair skin, and an athletic body. She was beautiful.
Donald didn't think of it that way and was completely shocked. "He's a girl!! King Mickey sent us on a top secret mission just to get some random girl! This has to be a joke!" he said.
Goofy shrugged. "Well King Mickey never did say the gender." He said.
Her eyes slowly began to open, she yawned and stretched. She looked around and almost screamed when she saw them. She hopped out and took out her Keyblade.
Sora eyes went wide. "You have a Keyblade too??" He exclaimed.
"Who are you!?" she asked as she looked around frantically. Well it made sense, she was captured.
Sora smiled. "Oh I'm sorry if we scared you. I'm Sora and this is Donald and Goofy. Do you know King Mickey?" he asked.
Once she heard King Mickey's name she relaxed and her Keyblade disappeared. She sighed. "Yes I do. Why?" she asked.
"Well we were on a mission to get you and bring you back to King Mickey." Donald said.
She laughed. "Oh really, well I guess then I have no choice but to come with you." she said.
Sora nodded. "Alright then, let's go." He said.
She followed Sora, Donald, and Goofy upstairs and into the Gummi Ship. "I'm driving!" Donald said he sat down in the in front.
She sat down in the back next to Sora while Goofy sat next to Donald.
"So what's your name?" Sora asked.
"Akemi." She said.
Sora nodded. "Well, how did you get here? I mean I know that Xemnas captured you, but how did you even know him?" he asked.
Akemi shook her head. "I don't think that I should tell you that. You should ask King Mickey, he knows." She said as she rolled her eyes.
Sora looked down. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you or anything." He said.
Akemi laughed. "That's alright, sorry I guess that I'm just a little grumpy." She said.
They were quiet the whole ride to the castle. Once they got there they got out and stretched. Chip and Dale came out of the control room to greet them. "Hey Sora, Donald, and Goofy and………um…." Chip trailed off as he saw Akemi.
Sora laughed. "This is Akemi." He said.
Dale scratched his head. "Akemi….you sound familiar." He said.
Akemi laughed. "I probably do. I haven't been here in years." She said as she looked around.
Sora looked at her in bewilderment. "You've been here?!"
Akemi nodded. "Of course." She said as she followed them upstairs and through the big door.
King Mickey was waiting for them, sitting in his golden chair.
They came up to him and bowed, accept Akemi, Donald coughed a little bit, signaling for her to do the same but Akemi didn't move.
King Mickey got up. "Welcome back Akemi." He said as he smiled.
Akemi rolled her eyes, she nodded. "Mickey." She said.
Donald and Goofy's eyes widened in shock, "So sorry for her rudeness your highness." Donald said.
King Mickey laughed. "I guess that I deserved it." He said as he shrugged.
Sora tried not to laugh. "King Mickey, where's Kairi and-"
"Their upstairs washing up." He said.
Sora sighed in relief. "Thank you." he said.
Merlin came out of the kitchen. "Well hello Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Akemi." He said as he smiled.
"Hi Merlin!" Sora, Donald, and Goofy said in unison.
Akemi turned and glared at Merlin.
"Grandpa." She said as she nodded.
Sora gasped. "Grandpa?!?" he exclaimed.
King Mickey sighed. "Looks like we have a lot of explaining to do." He said.
