End Of Our Worlds? Not today Chapter 12
#12 of EOOW? NT
The group turns to see the young man.
"Who are you, young man?" Daisy asks carefully "I haven't seen you before."
"My name is Riku." He says as he walks to the group "I'm currently investigating what's going on behind the enemies' lines. It's getting really ugly between Maleficent and The Horned King. I can't say anything more yet; orders of Ansem."
"Pleased to meet you Riku...Ri...wait a minute we met someone called Sori? Soryn? Sora...he was looking for you in Twilight Town." Oswald remembers "He looked like he was in a hurry though."
"Sora? Really? How is he doing?"
"He looked fine, tired but ok I guess. We just crossed path briefly. He was just asking us if we've seen you before and we just said no." Donald informs him. "It was today...or tonight? I lost track of time because it's night here but anyway; if you hurry up back to Twilight Town, you should be able to find him there."
"Thank you, I'll go right now then because knowing this goofball, he will keep running until he finds me." Riku smiles. "Take care guys and see you soon hopefully." He says right before teleporting away in a dark warp magic effect.
"Now, let's go eat before something else comes our way." Donald grumbles. "I swear I need a break from all of this."
"Let's" Oswald approves.
"Ahhh there you are Mickey. Good, I suspected that it would take longer for you to hear my message." Yen Sid remarks as he hears his apprentice land besides him. "No matter, now that you are here. I was watching the pace of monsters coming out and I noticed they are coming in waves. They leave in nice window for us to close the gate. I will need your help, Mickey. I cannot show myself to Maleficent or The Horned King. If they see me, god knows what they will try to take me down. You will close the gate by channeling your mana directly into the glyphs around the gate. These glyphs were made as an emergency security. With your mana, you should be able to close the gate in a matter of seconds but during that time, anything can happen so I'll watch your back, and the army will watch your back."
"So, I am chosen to close the gate..." Mickey trails off into his own thoughts.
"Nervous?"
"Yeah, quite nervous even if it sounds and look so simple."
"That's because there's a lot of outcome behind and they can be heavy. You also know that closing the gate is not a little deal either in this war. It's a big responsibility, and we all trust you that you'll carry it through." Yen Sid sigh gently. "We will attack very soon, go back to camp and eat, we will attack right after that. We have to act quickly, nobody knows we are here."
"Right, let's use the element of surprise to our full advantage." Mikey approves while stretching his wings. "See you later, Yen Sid." He says before flying back to camp, this time, he wasn't feeling light at all, but heavy. Heavy because of his duty, all eyes would be on him in a few minutes? Hours? He doesn't know and he doesn't want to know. What he wants to know is when all this madness would end, he hopes it is soon.
