[center][h1]Disney Castle[/h1][/center] [color=dodgerblue]"This is the King"[/color] spoke up Donald as he walked over to Gabe, pointing to Mickey as he spoke. [color=dodgerblue]"That's his majesty, King Mickey". [/color] Mickey gave a nod as he walked over to Gabe, offering a handshake. [color=lightcoral]"The name's Mickey, nice to meet ya".[/color] Once that very friendly introduction was done, Mickey addressed Gabe's next question. [color=lightcoral]"Sorry if I didn't make it clear enough in my letter, but a Keyblader is a person who wields a weapon called the Keyblade".[/color] To emphasize his point, Mickey materialized his own Keyblade in his hand in a small flash of light. He let Gabe get a look at it before he made it vanish. [color=lightcoral]"The Keyblade is a weapon that has the power to permanently subdue creatures known as the Heartless, which are made from the darkness in people's hearts". [/color] Of course, while Mickey was telling this to Gabe, he was also speaking to Henry, Spade, and Ace; in case they didn't know what the Keyblade was exactly. [color=Red][center][h1]Sorami[/h1][/center][/color] Sorami beamed all three of them back down into Rose's house so that the two of them would have their time to say their goodbyes. She was glad that she didn't have to use up more time flying them to Disney Castle and them flying them back. Once they all said their goodbyes, it was back to the Gummi Ship they went. Of course, before they beamed back up Sorami made sure they were back in Rose's house so that they couldn't be seen by other prying eyes. Now back in those seats once again, Sorami took the controls and looked back at the two of them. [color=Red]"Alright, make sure you're buckled up, as I am going to have to go pretty fast". [/color] With that, she took a grip of the wheel and in the next moment they were off once everyone was buckled up. Now the ship was zooming through the cosmos. On their way to their destination they would pass a good number of worlds along the way, since Rune Factory was not too far from the edge of the WDS' reach. Soon enough they flew into the world of their destination and after that were parked inside of a hangar, where several other ships of a similar design were parked. They looked as though they were made from a multitude of various colored blocks of different shapes and sizes, rather than actual metal. Despite their... simple looks, they seemed quite dependable judging by how fast they were able to fly just then. Whether or not they had weaponry, however; was something that couldn't be discerned. [center][h1]The Gang's All Here[/h1][/center] Three other humans would soon enough come walking up to the group right after Mickey finished his explanation on the Keyblade. Oz would recognize one of them as having a somewhat surprising resemblance to Sora in both appearance and clothing since he did alot of reading up on the guy. [color=Red]"Your Majesty, I came back with the two final additions to our team".[/color] With this, Mickey turned from the group to face the three newest arrivals. [color=lightcoral]"Sorami, you're back. Alright, with this that means the entire team is assembled".[/color] Mickey was quite happy that everyone seemed to accept his request. He wasn't quite sure that everyone would, but now that they did seemed to put him in good spirits. [color=lightcoral]"I want to thank everyone for coming here and accepting this very important mission". [/color] [color=lightcoral]"If everyone will follow me, I will explain what needs to be done".[/color] With this, the mouse king began to walk into the throne room; Donald, Goofy, and Sorami all following Mickey into what appeared to be a throne room fit for a giant. All this giant, mostly white room had in it though was just a throne meant for a regular sized person near the back of it. Once they got near the throne, Mickey took out his Keyblade in a flash of light and pointed it at the throne. A beam of light would shoot from its tip, hitting the throne. After a few loud clicks like the turning of locks would be heard, the elevated part of the floor the room was on began to slowly slide to the side, revealing a large staircase beneath the throne. Soon enough, after a bit more walking through what appeared to be a maze, shortened down because the maze allowed those deemed friendly take its shortcuts, they would soon arrive in the Hall of the Cornerstone, which Mickey showed to Oz earlier. Glowing with immense light in the center of the hall was indeed the Cornerstone of Light, various wires connected to the pedestal it rested upon. [color=lightcoral]"This is the Cornerstone of Light, which powers the World Defense System, the system that was recently made to protect the worlds from the Heartless".[/color] After that, Mickey beckoned them over to a large computer, which Sorami proceeded to sit at and type a few things into a keyboard. Soon enough, some data as well as the picture of a world would appear on the screen. Sorami, after entering this all into the computer, then turned her chair to face the group, speaking to them now. [color=Red]"We recently spotted a strange, abnormal signature in this world. The World Defense System, or WDS for short, is designed to not only protect worlds from the Heartless and Nobodies by defeating them, but monitor for stronger Heartless and Nobodies that would be better dealt with personally".[/color] She stopped to type in a few more things, before suddenly a section of the wall to the left of the computer opened up, a shelf sliding out. Upon the shelf were an amount of small bracelets meant for each of them. Donald, Goofy, and Mickey walked to the shelf and gave each of the Keybladers there, excluding Mickey and Sorami, a bracelet. [color=Red]"These bracelets are mini computers that can connect you back to us and let you connect to the WDS systems, these being tuned to also serve as a radar to locate the strange signature we spotted".[/color] Sorami demonstrated as she held up a bracelet of her own. She took a few moments to explain its various functions. Its radar for locating the signature, its transmitter for contacting them, the recording functions that automatically took note of any enemies they faced or people they met, and its 'inventory' function for holding a small number of items, currently 3 Potions and 2 Ethers stored inside. All of these could either be accessed via buttons, or via voice commands. Sorami made sure to try and make the explanation easy to understand, showing them both where the buttons were and the voice commands needed for using it. Once everyone had their bracelets on and knew the basics of how to use them, Mickey spoke up. [color=lightcoral]"Your mission is not a combative one. Your goal is to investigate the signature, your bracelets will automatically record any data that you find and send us a report. Hopefully... its just a glitch or something minor. Regardless of what it is though, please be careful". [/color] After that, Mickey just gave a smile to the group, now ready to address any questions that they may have had. [color=lightcoral]"Are there any questions?"[/color] As much as they were pressed for time, Mickey wanted to make sure that they had all of the information they needed, since he wasn't about to send any of them into potential danger without knowing what they were getting into.
