Thy slump is sort of going away lol. Also, mind you, I'm going to skip a lot of the chase for King Mickey. Do you know how boring that is! Blaaaah.

Chapter Thirty

The return of fakey

Thud.

The only thing heard when Ryan saw a dark portal appear. He hid behind a nearby desk, and peered over to see who it was. He feared that the bad men in cloaks were after him, so he tried his best not to make any noise. As the smoke disappeared, he saw someone wearing blue, and instantly recognized who it was.

"Hey! You can't just keep coming uninvited! Geez, people never learn!" he shouted, getting up from his position. When he walked over though, he saw Marie gripping her sides and groaning in pain. She was trying to stay conscious, but the fall had made that difficult.

Aura, as Ryan knew her as, bent down to check up on her. She got up, and looked at Ryan, who was confused beyond all hell. "Organization XIII tried to capture her using Marie's lookalike. I managed to intercept the capture, but she's obviously beat up."

"Oh, well I know first aid. Help me bring her to her room," Ryan replied as he bent down, lifting Marie up. Aura did the same, and the both of them helped Marie, who was still slipping in and out of conscious, to her room. As they did, Ryan looked over to Aura, who was concentrating on lifting Marie. "Why are you helping her so much? Every time I see you it's always about Marie."

There was a long pause before any answer came out of Aura's lips. He continued to stare at her, because her looks were very similar, but he couldn't point it. After a while, Aura spoke. "Let's call it a debt," she said. "I owe her."

"For what?" Ryan asked again.

They had reached Marie's room, and placed her on her bed. Aura stretched her arms, seeing as how Marie, who went unconscious, wasn't as light as she expected. She walked towards the door, but Ryan stopped her as he shouted for her to stop. She turned her head slightly, with her back still facing the brunette boy. "What I owe her is something between the both of us. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

She quickly walked outside the room, and Ryan hurried and chased after her. As soon as he did though, she was gone. He scratched his head, wondering why Aura was such a mystery. He dropped his shoulders, and proceeded back into the room to patch up his cousin.

Sora

After the talk with the fake Marie, the king came down from who knows where, shook Sora's hand, and disappeared. It seemed that he went the same way fakey went. Goofy pointed towards the floating stage, and the three of them made haste.

Along the way, Sora couldn't help but worry about Marie. Donald and Goofy took note of this, and they briefly stopped to say something. "Hey, don't worry! We're pretty sure Marie is alright," Donald assured.

"Yeah! She's probably still around here," Goofy added.

"I hope so you guys, let's look for her and the king." Sora hoped that she was okay. It wasn't that he didn't have faith in her abilities, but he knew that she didn't have faith in her abilities. He wasn't specifically sure what was happening to her, since she never spoke about it. It wasn't like last year where she told him practically everything, and he really missed that.

He shook his head, and decided not to go into that. There were many things that he wanted to confront her about, but he wasn't sure where to start. Even more, he was scared to confront her, what if she said something he wasn't going to like?

Sora, Donald and Goofy proceeded to run towards the next stage and along the way they were introduced to a scene with maleficent. It was confusing to understand, but they watched as she yelled at what appeared to be Pete. She was incredibly angry.

Marie

My head was killing me.

What was even more confusing was that I was aboard the gummi ship. Ryan told me that Aura brought me here, and things just kept getting confusing. I still don't know who this Aura is, and I was pretty sure I was dead. I still felt woozy from the attack, but I'm glad I'm not dead.

"Yeah, she said that fakey tried to bring you to Organization XIII, but she blocked it and caught you before that happened," Ryan explained. I was still digesting everything that he said, but for the most part, I understood that I'm being targeted. I don't understand their motive, and I wish I did. I sighed, and placed a hand on my chest. When I did, I remembered yet again about my necklace. I looked down, and really wanted to get it back.

"What's wrong?" Ryan asked. I shook my head, it wasn't worth getting worked over I guess, even though I felt like it was important. I tapped my foot on the ground, and looked around the ship. My eyes fell on Ryan again, and then an idea hit me.

"Hey, can you drive the gummi ship?" I asked, hoping for a positive answer. Ryan crossed his arms and started to ponder; he looked over captain's chair and stared at it.

"I haven't had a chance, but from the way Sora drives it, I'm pretty sure I can," he said, which really didn't fill me with confidence. I was getting antsy though, and a day without that necklace was making me feel even worse. I took a deep breath in, and looked at Ryan again.

"There's a world I need to go," I said, sitting down on one of the chairs. "I need to get something."

Thankfully, Mulan's world gate was already unlocked, so we didn't have to fight any space heartless. Ryan jumped at the chance it seemed, since he was already sitting down. "Just tell me where to go, and I'll take us!"

I was feeling nervous about this, but I really wanted that necklace. I know Sora and the others are still down by the Timeless River, and I want to make it back before they finish up with it. I don't know if Sora has noticed if I'm gone or not, but I want to hurry this up so no one is worried.

As I took another deep breath, the ship started up, and I looked out the window as we started flying.

Sorry it took a while. I found this online game called Trickster Online and I just kept playing and playing. _ It's really addictive, just not the drilling part, haha. If any of you play it, let me know =D

WingOfHope:
Oh, if there's anything that says Aura and Axel are paired up, it's for an alternate story I'm working on haha. Don't worry, it's just pure Riku/Aura from here on out.

grapejuice101:
Ahaha, here you are! XD I hope you liked it.

Dracula X:
Yeah, it is a but annoying at some points, especially TR. It's a beautiful world, but chasing the king is really boring. _

Anna Crosszeria:
Fakey is so bad! What? O_o lol, I have no love in my life at the moment. _ Somewhere along the lines Ryan's plan will work. It may have disastrous results at the beginning though har har. XD

Lvl-ZeR0:
It's lifting, don't worry. I've been playing games a lot, so it's getting better lol. my cure for everything are video games! XD

O_o I will try not to eat them together, but it is very tempting! :O I will try to make her death very epic, and dramatic, and awesome! I need to think of one though lol. XD

Trubeque:
You can do it, you have the power! XD

dracula-key:
Yeah, imagine if he thought she was the real one. -_- I am very glad it's only one trip, but even then chasing the king wasn't fun at all. I do love the scene and concept of the world, but they could've put a better plot for that world.
