Chapter 7: Rules

King Mickey was still in the cage that the Colonel had put him in, trying to escape as the Dark Master sat impatiantly on his throne. The King couldn't summon his Keyblade as the Dark Master had placed special kind of gloves on the king to prevent him from summoning the key, aswell as needing a Keyblade to get them off. The Dark Master started to tap his fingers on his armrest as he listened to the 'ranting mouse' as he called him. "The worlds will start to collapses if you continue to unstable the balance of the worlds." King Mickey warned him, glaring up at the dark figure, only to hear the villian's insane laugher from such words. "You will be stopped just like you and Master Xehanort was before." Mickey said with determination, knowing not to give up to the enemy in front of him.

"Who's going to stop me? The new keyblade weilders?"He laughed as he recieved an cold glare from the King of Disney Castle. "The only reason they managed to stop my master was becasue he chose a weak vessel. They're nothing but weak in my eyes." A portal appeared in front of the Dark Master. The red marked Endless, who was the Lieutenant of the Unbirths, came through the portal with Maleficent behind him. "Love to hear your feelings about this matter but I got a meeting to go to." he said as he got up from his throne.

"History will be repeated if you carry on with this." The king said in a worried way, looking up at the figure, hoping he could get some sense into him.

"Quiet! Idiot!" The Dark Master blasted a 'sleep' spell in the mouse's direction, making the king's eyes drop to a heavy sleep. As soon as he fell asleep, the Dark Master spoke once more, "The worlds will benefit from this." He muttered as he jumped down from his throne and began to make his way over to the Lieutenant, who had knelled down in his presents, and to his invited guest. "Be present for this meeting." He intstructed his soilder.

"Yes, my lord." The Lieutenant stood by.

"Impossible. How did you capture the king?" Maleficent said in shock as she looked up at the trapped mouse.

"Persuasion." He answered with a hidden smirk, "You just have to poke that heart of his once or twice and he forget what's really important." He put his hands behind his back and started to walk around Maleficent. "I have a proposition for you. I need some Heartless." He said.

"Why do you want me to help? I can easily be against you." Maleficent pointed out.

"Your Heartless can't do anything against ME!" he said as he slammed Maleficent against the wall. "Against my Unbirth!" He hold her by the throat with his shadowed claw, he dig his claws into his neck which made her scream. "Besides, I can sense that their is a new Keyblade Master, one that could be just as idiotic as the hold, I need to see if he's worthly for my plan. That's why I need your Heartless." He explained, diggin his claws in deeper into the dark fairy's throat. "So...Are you IN or OUT!" Maleficent nodded violently and the Master dropped her before facing the Lieutenant. "I want you to go find Private Nikolai and bring him here, he's at Ultimate Castle with Colonel Devil."

"Understood." he replied as he summoned a portal and disappeared.

It has been two weeks since Sora, Kairi and Riku had left the islands to help King Mickey. Now they were in a brand new gummi ship, heading to their first world together. It may have been strange to have the total of eight people on-borad instead of three but no one seemed to mind. Shortly after they left Little Devon, Brian took over the pilot problem and put a barrier up the cockpit so Sora won't try to drive again. Sora was in his room as he wasn't aloud to drive the gummi after what happened in Little Devon. He was looking up at the ceiling until he gradually fell asleep. His mind soon slipped into a familiar nightmare.

Sora was watching the person again running up the stairs with someone tiring to catch up with him. Sora saw that the person was a boy since he looked at the figure. Again the person got to the top and saw Kairi fighting the colonel, again was he stopped by the same barrier, again did Sora shout in his sleep 'HELP HER'. Again did Sora watch Kairi getting stabbed in the heart. Sora wanted to wake up out of this nightmare but the dream continued. Kairi fell to the floor grabbed her chest in pain. Crying as she fell. Sora started to scream Kairi's name and watched as the person tried to get through the barrier again. But couldn't.

Sora woke up once again shouting Kairi's name and started to breathe quickly. Again he wiped his eyes as tears started to form. Swear dipping down his face this time as this dream was worse that the last. Sora tried to shack the image of Kairi falling, dieing out of his head but it just wouldn't go. Sora got off his bed and went to his bathroom; he washed his face and came back in the room. He stood there shocked as he saw Roxas sitting on his bed.

"What are you doing here?" asked Sora, "I'm not a heartless again am I?" he said while checking his appearances.

"Don't worry." assured Roxas, "I just was thinking, well what you was thinking about that hand shake with Brian." Sora started to think about that hand shake again, how it felt like shaking hands with himself but also felt like shaking hands with Kairi.

"It's like I'm shaking with me and Kairi." explained Sora.

Roxas got up and started pacing around the room thinking of what that got mean. He then stood still and faced Sora. "I've got it!" he happily said as he raised his hand with one of his fingers pointed up. Suddenly, music started to come from the bridge and pilot room. Sora's room was the closest to those rooms and you could just hear the music. Roxas put his hand down and pouted, "and I've lost it."

Sora put his jacket on and opened the door, Roxas disappeared into Sora and said that we can talk about this later in his dreams. Sora walked in the bridge and saw Hikari at the table looking at blueprints. Why is she looking at blueprints? Sora thought. Sora came out of his thoughts as he turned his head to the direction of the music and it looks like it coming from the pilot room. He noticed that the barrier was down so this was the time to see Brian's so-called gummi driving skills. He entered the room and saw Brian playing some sort of tune on his guitarSora had to admitted that Brian was good on his guitar, but besides the point. He supposed to be driving not playing his guitar. Sora walked behind Brian and clapped his hands near his ears which made him get out of tune.

Brian stopped playing and turned his head around, his face turned confused as he faced Sora. "How did you get in here?" he asked.

"You left the barrier off." Sora simply answered, "Aren't you supposed to be driving?"

"I am." Brian said. Sora looked at the steering wheel and saw Brian was driving with his feet. "You see, my lovable brother Daniel." he said sarcastically, " decided to put the gummi on auto-course which is one thing I can't overwrite and in auto-course mode, you can only go 30 Light speed per hour, which by the way SUCKS!" Brian put his guitar down and put auto-pilot on. He then grabbed the speaker and started to talk into it. "Guys, we are approaching the first world. Oh joy. They will be a meeting before we land. That is all." Brian put down the speaker, picked up the guitar and started to play it again.

He didn't get far into playing before Sora interrupted again. "Can I have a go?" asked Sora, pointing to his guitar.

"Yeah sure." replied Brian as he gave Sora his guitar. Sora sat at the co-pilot seat while Brian turned off auto-pilot and started to drive with his feet again, trying to overwrite the auto-course again. Sora started to play on the guitar and was actually doing very well. Brian stopped hacking in the controls and listen to the tune, Sora was playing a sort of calm tune on Brian's guitar. For some reason, Brian found the tune familiar from somewhere else and couldn't point his finger of where he had heard it from. Sora stopped playing the guitar and put it down before going over to the controls and pressed some buttons. The lights changed saying 'auto-course disabled', shocking Brian as he faced the Keyblade Master with shock and curiosity. Sora didn't say anything and walked out the room, leaving the Devon boy completely dumbfounded. Brian put his feet off the controls and started to drive with his hands again, wondering about the tune that Sora was playing but quickly ignored and carried on flying.

"GUYS! CAN YOU BE QUIET FOR AT LEAST 2 SECONDS!" shouted Brian. Everyone was at the bridge talking to each other while Brian was trying to tell them something important. Hikari was talking to Max, Kairi was talking to Sora and Riku, Donald was talking to Goofy and Brian was trying to talk to what everyone acting like; a brick wall. "Come on guys. You need to know the info about this world." Brain tried to get their attention.

"Normally we just go down there and find out the info for ourselves." Sora pointed out

"Have you been to a world that has it's balance disturbed?" asked Brian in a babyish way. Everyone shook they heads in reply. "Then can you please LISTEN!" Brian sighed.

"What world are we entering anyway?" asked Kairi.

Donald went over to the scanners to see which world they were heading for, "Notre Dame" he answered as he walked back towards the group.

Brian summoned his staff and slammed it on the ground to get everyone's attention. His staff was different from before, now it had 30cm long blades at each end of the weapon. Everyone went quiet and sat down. Brian put away his staff and carried on. "Now. Any world had has been throw out of balance will automatically set new rules for that world to try and restore the natural order." Brian explained, "At Notre Dame, we can't use magic."

"How come?" asked Riku

"Because, if we use magic then we'll be accused for witchcraft which would result to us being arrested and then GET BURNED TO THE DEPTHS OF THE UNDERWORLD!" he said as his voice got louder at the end of the sentence.

Hikari came behind Brian and smacked him around the back of his head with her Eternal blade. Riku started to smirk at this and didn't notice that Kairi saw that he was looking at Hikari. "There is no need to shout at us Brian! WE ALL LISTENING!" moaned Hikari

"Point taken. But there is no need for you to hit me with that stupid blade." Brian bounced back, rubbing the back of his head.

"WHAT WAS THAT!" Hikari said angrily and evilly, talking towards Brian with her sword in hand.

Brian gulped as she began to come towards him with pure anger in her eyes. "Eh…I mean that wonderful, powerful blade. That I wish I had." Brian replied nervously, trying to save his life.

"Good!" Hikari simply said as she put her blade away before helping Brian off the floor. "So who going to Notre Dame then?" she asked.

"Only four of us can go to this world due to avoiding attention. I need to go because of the mission and the other three are for Sora, Kairi and Riku." explained Brian.

"You only need one Keyblader, why do you need Riku?" Hikari questioned, crossing her arms.

"Because Riku is the coolest one out of them." Brian simply said before turning to the other, hearing Hikari huff in the process. Kairi was showing Sora what Riku was staring at, which nearly made him black out again as he was looking at Hikari. "You guys have to find the keyhole. When you get to the keyhole, you must quickly open it and get Kairi to restore the balance then close the keyhole again." Brian told the three, not noticing Riku eyeing his best friend. Sora and Kairi seemed to agree to this before bringing their attention back towards Riku.

"Why does Kairi have to restore the balance?" wondered Max, it's amazing that no one notice him staying next to Brian before.

"Because only someone with pure light or darkness in their hearts can change the balance of the world." answered Brian. Brian grabbed his brown pack-back and began walking to the teleport before Max stopped him.

"What about me?" Max asked.

"You have to stay here with Hikari, Donald and Goofy." answered Brian. Max grabbed Brian by the shirt was pushed off by the same person.

"PLEASE. You have to let me go to Notre Dame." begged Max

"Let me see…..Nope." Brian said, "Anyway, I need you to unload the supplies we got off Little Devon onto the main gummi. The supplies are in my red gummi." commanded Brian. Max pouted and let out a big sigh.

"Ok. But I'm not spending another minute with my dad. He's driving me NUTS again." said Max.

"At least you have a dad Max." Brian slapped Max gently on his cheeks, "at least you have one." Brian went through the teleport and was teleported to the world below, leaving Max to his misery. The dog teen sighed before heading out the room.

Sora and Kairi still notice that Riku was still staring at Hikari, so they decided to do something about it. Kairi went over to Hikari and said that Riku said something about wearing a skirt while Sora was trying his best not to laugh. Hikari turned around to Riku, who was still daydreaming, simply just jumped on him, resulting in Riku falling to the floor with Hikari sitting on his chest and her blade at his neck. "YOU THINK I SHOULD WEAR A SKIRT SILVER!" Hikari shouted in Riku's face, snapping him out of his daydream, mainly because of the extra force that was sitting onto of him.

"What are you talking about? And my name is Riku." said Riku with a confused look on his face.

"DON'T LIE TO ME SILVER. KAIRI TOLD ME THE WHOLE THING!"

"Kairi told you…WAIT A SECOND?" Riku and Hikari turned their heads to see Sora and Kairi laughing their heads off. Hikari anger vanished and quickly realised the position that she was in, she quickly jumped got off of Riku, muttering about guys.

Riku pushed himself off the ground, still hearing their laughter as he summoned his Keyblade out. Sora and Kairi stopped laughing and looked at Riku as he turned his Keyblade to pure energy that made his hands turn rock hard. The two gulped and looked at each other. "Time to go." Sora said quickly and grabbed Kairi's hand, he quickly dragged Kairi to the teleport and teleported to Notre Dame.

"GET BACK HERE YOU TWO LOVEBIRDS!" shouted Riku and followed them to Notre Dame.

Hikari looked around and saw that she, Donald and Goofy was the only one in the room. "Wow. Talk about your drama." She referred to the three that had just left. Looks like this adventure is going to be an interesting one. She thought. A smash saddened came from the back of the gummi, making Hikari looked back with curiosty. She asked Donald and Goofy for assistances as they checked out the back of the gummi ship.
