"Make sure you guys are prepared for the journey ahead of you." Leon warned, crossing his arms over his chest. We were all standing at the front doors of Traverse Town. The Heartless have calmed down a bit after Sora defeated that giant purple suit of armor. Yuffie and Aerith were standing on either side of him. "We don't know how far the Heartless have spread."
Yuffie started to jumped up and down while clapping her hands. It was obvious that she was getting excited again. I didn't know why though. "Check out the shops here, They've got some pretty neat stuff!" She cheered, motioning to the stores behind her. "This is from all of us. Spend it as you see fit." Aerith added, pulling something out of her pocket. She handed me a hundred munny and smiled.
"Good luck!"
"I hope you find your friends."
"Look out for each other. Keep your spirits up."
We nodded and they turned to leave, my guess was they were going back to the hotel. "Bye Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith!" I shouted, waving my arm above my head. They waved back and started for the hotel. Man, I was going to miss those guys. Donald made me regain my focus by looking towards Sora and I with a happy look on his face. "The gummi ship is outside that gate." He explained, pointing to the big double doors in the front of the town.
"The what?" Sora asked, tilting his head a bit. Goofy laughed and Donald shook his head. Were they laughing at the fact that we didn't understand what the heck they were talking about? "That's our ship. Wait 'til you see it!" Goofy answered, an excited tone in his voice.
"Hold on," Donald suddenly said, making all of us look at him. He turned to Goofy and started making weird hand signs towards Sora and I. Goofy had a confused expression on his face just like us. I could tell the duck was getting frustrated, "Ugh, Sora, Sasuke this is for you two. Luckily I had an extra one."
He handed me some type of sphere; it was red and resembled a bunch of flames. I looked at the item and then back at Donald, hoping he would tell me what it was. It couldn't have been a weapon. I mean, what could I do with this? Throw it at a Heartless and hope that it hits them in the eye? "Uhh... what's this...?" I asked, dumbfounded.
"Now you can use magic... more specifically fire." Donald told us. I scanned the object before putting it in my pocket. Yeah, maybe the duck was crazy. He actually believed that we could use magic. That's funny. "Don't put it in your pocket, Sasuke. Crush it in your hand." We did as we were told and squeezed the balls in the palms of our hands. It dissolved through the skin but other than that nothing happened. "Now you can use magic!"
"Okay is that it? Let's get going." Sora said, walking for the front gate. We followed after him as he pulled the heavy doors open.
"We travel to different worlds on the gummi ship, but sometimes Heartless ships give us a tough time." Goofy explained as the ship blasted into space. I sat in one of the two seats in the back with Sora next to me. Goofy was driving the ship while Donald sat up front trying to keep Sora from touching stuff. "Hold on so you don't hurt yourselves."
"What do you mean hurt ourselves?" I asked, looking out of the windows at the green and blue nothingness outside. A red laser shot at us and Goofy spun the ship all the way around. Sora crashed into me and we both hit the floor. "Ow... so that's what you mean..."
"Put on your seat belts!" Donald said, firing lasers while Goofy steered. We quickly did what he said and strapped ourselves in. The ship tilted vertically and dodged some of the meteors in the way. By the time this is over I'm gonna be sick. "Goofy watch it!"
It turned upside down and my hair flew up. A line of Heartless were coming right for us. Donald shot the lasers again while Goofy moved out of the way. Not once did he make an attempt to get us right side up again. "Uh, Goofy I don't feel so good..." I groaned, covering my puffed up cheeks with my hand.
The ship went the right way as a pink looking world came into view. "Gawrsh. Sorry about that, Sasuke!" Goofy laughed as we went to the pink thing. Sora started laughing at me as well. I just huffed and fixed my hair. "Aww shut it..." I sighed, fighting the small smirk that was tugging at my lips.
We were falling down a long tunnel. At least I think that's what was happening. I flailed my arms around as I tried to keep myself from falling. Sora and Donald didn't look the least bit worried while Goofy had his arms behind his head and was relaxing. Were these guys crazy?! We were gonna die! The ground was approaching fast and I still couldn't find anything to save myself. I'm going to leave my bracelets to Kairi, Riku can have my necklace, and Sora can-
I fell face first onto the floor. It took me a while to process what just happened. Why wasn't I dead. I looked up to see Donald, Sora, and Goofy standing there like nothing happened. What?!
"Oh, my fur and whiskers! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" A white rabbit yelled, running by my head. It had on a red blazer and was holding a gold clock. It looked worried about something, I just didn't know what. He sped down the hallway, leaving us to stare at him shocked and confused. "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! I'm here, I should be there! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late! The queen, she'll have my head for sure!"
I jumped onto my feet and exchanged glances with the three of them. They blinked three times before shrugging their shoulders in unison. "Well I believe that 'unsuspicious' rabbit it late for something." I blinked, still slightly shell-shocked.
Sora ran in the direction the rabbit was headed in. We quickly followed him down the dim hall. "Let's go after it then." He smiled, stopping at the door he had went through. He opened it only to find another door behind it. He opened the second door and another one stood in its place. He sighed and opened the third one, crossing his fingers that a door wasn't behind it. Unlike the other times, it actually lead into a room.
The room was pink and a bit tiny if you ask me. The rabbit ran through a wooden door that was about five inches tall before closing it. "How did he get so small?" Sora asked, kneeling in front of the petite door. The knob on it opened its eyes, making me jump back.
"No, you're simply too big." It said, answering his question. The three of them went wide-eyed at his statement.
"Ahh! It talks!"
The golden knob yawned, ignoring our shock. "Must you be so loud? You woke me up." It complained. Goofy did his signature laugh and wave while saying 'Good morning!'. The knob yawned again and frowned. "Good night! I need a bit more sleep."
"Wait, what do we have to do to grow small?" Sora asked, stopping him before he went back to sleep. The knob opened his eyes again and looked up at the brunette. "Why don't you try the bottle over there?" I replied, closing its eyes.
We turned around to see a white table appear out of nowhere. Sora rushed over to it and grabbed the cup off that was sitting on it. "Here goes nothing..." He sighed as he took a big gulp of it and passed it to me. I drank it and gave it to Donald who did the same and handed it to Goofy. When he was done he set it back on the table and looked around. "Nothing happened..."
Within seconds I shrunk to the size of a pencil and landed on the table. They landed next to me and looked down at their bodies. "Spoke too soon..." I chuckled, hopping on the chair and onto the floor. As soon as I touched the ground Heartless spawned in the room. "These guys are everywhere aren't they?"
Donald and Goofy began attacking them while Sora and I searched for a way out of the room. The couldn't use the door because the knob had went back to sleep. "Sasuke, what about that?" Sora asked, dodging a Heartless and pointing towards the bed in the far corner. Behind it was an opening out of the room. The thing was, it was blocked by the now big bed. "I'll go drink the potion again and move it out of the way."
I watched as he jumped onto the chair and pulled himself up on the table. I was distracted, however, by a Heartless shooting fire at me. It looked like a red and orange flying jar. I moved out of the way and was almost stepped on by a giant yellow shoe. Sora moved the bed out of the way and went back to go drink the potion. "Hey, watch it!" I yelled as he chugged the cup.
Another ball of fire was shot at me but Goofy blocked it. Donald used lightning to destroy the Heartless, making my eyes go wide. So he was serious when he said we could use magic? Does that mean I could do that too? Sora rushed passed us to the archway in the wall. I ran after him; there's no way I'm staying in here.
We walked into a garden with a bunch of cards everywhere. I'm serious, there was a four of clubs right next to me. I looked around and my eyes landed on the white rabbit from earlier. He was blowing a horn that looked a bit too big for him.
"Hear ye, hear ye. Court is now in session!" He shouted.
A girl with blonde hair and a blue dress was at the stand. She looked up at the rabbit with a worried yet shocked expression on her face. "I'm on trial? But why?" She asked, sounding really sweet and innocent. She honestly didn't look like she would hurt a fly.
"Her majesty, the Queen of Hearts, presiding!" The rabbit declared, ignoring the girl. I clenched my fists; this guy was a jerk. He could at least tell her what she did! "This girl is the culprit. There's no doubt about it. And the reason is..." The queen started, looking down at her. She appeared ugly and mean. I'm glad I don't have to deal with her. "Because I say so that's why!"
"That's so unfair!"
"Well, have you anything to say in your defense?"
"Of course! I've done absolutely nothing wrong! You may be queen but I'm afraid that doesn't give you the right to be so... so mean!"
"SILENCE!" The Queen boomed, pointing at the blonde. She glared at her with such intensity that I've never seen before. "You dare defy me?!"
"Hey guys, we should help her out." I whispered, looking at the three beside me. Sora nodded in agreement while Donald and Goofy looked a bit skeptical. "Yeah, but the-" He started but was cut short by the dog. "We're outsiders, so wouldn't that be muddling?" He finished.
"Meddling!" Donald shouted, looking up at him.
"Oh, yeah. And that's against the rules." Goofy laughed as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. I looked over to Sora to see if he thought the same. He was just staring at the grass.
"The court finds the defendant... guilty as charged!" The Queen snapped, crossing her arms over her chest. I wanted to go up there and smack that crown off of her head SO bad! "For the crimes of assault and attempted theft of my heart... OFF WITH HER HEAD!"
"No! No! Oh, please!" The girl begged as the cards closed in on her. Sora sprinted off into the garden, ignoring Goofy and Donald's protests. I ran after him with a smirk on my face. I was waiting for him to do something.
"Hold it right there!" We shouted in unison.
"Who are you?" The Queen asked, turning her attention over to us. She raised her eyebrows and growled. "How dare you interfere with my court?"
"Excuse me, but-"
"Listen lady! We know who the real culprit is!" I replied, cutting Sora off. He turned his head to look at me as I walked ahead of him. "Uh-huh. It's the Heartless-" Goofy started but was stopped by Sora.
"Anyways, she's not the one you're looking for." He said, pointing to the girl. I nodded and crossed my arms over my chest. I hated when people got blamed for stuff they didn't do. It was just a pet peeve that I've had for a long time.
"That's nonsense. Have you any proof?" The Queen asked, tapping her finger tips on her chair. Sora and I grew quiet at her question. Maybe we should have thought this through. With that, the cards locked the girl in a cage. "Bring me evidence of Alice's innocence! Fail, and it's off with all of your heads! Gather as much or as little evidence as you please. Report back here once you're ready."
I looked at Sora, Donald, and Goofy before sheepishly scratching the back of my neck, "So guys, what do we do now...? Hehe..."
Yeah... I messed up big time...
There's chapter 5! Review if you can, I gladly appreciate it! :D
