End Of Our Worlds? Not today Chapter 13
#13 of EOOW? NT
Mickey lands near the camp in the plains and sits down thoughtfully. 'What the hell is happening? What happened while I was sleeping? It's hard to catch up on all the events.' He scratches his head, looking up to the moon and sigh. From sleeping in a crystal to being the chosen one to close a door releasing chaos. In such a short span of time, needless to say that it's way too much to handle for the mouse. 'What am I going to do afterward? Stay as an apprentice? Maybe not. I have to make a living now.' He stretches his wings and gives them a few flaps before wrapping them up around him. 'Those wings are pretty nice but...' his thoughts trail off as he feels the warmth of his body being held by his wings around him. His thoughts then switch to Minnie and Mickey finds himself lightly blushing. He likes her, no, it's more then that, he loves her. He wants to know more about her, to spend much more times with her. He remains in that position for a good twenty minutes, calming his mind and getting mentally ready for the upcoming events. He stands up and walks back to camp and as he walks past the front gates, he falls upon Minnie who hands him his dinner plate. They both find a place to sit down.
"Thank you." He smiles before eating his meal quickly.
"You are welcome. So, apparently, we will attack very soon. We had a meeting with Ansem just a few minutes ago." Minnie informs him "I suspect you know this already since you had a meeting with Yen Sid. Three squads and mine will be covering you while you close the door." This news makes Mickey coughs mid swallowing his food.
"So, four squad in total? How much enemies are we expecting there?" Mickey wipes some bits of food from his mouth.
"A lot, trust me, that put everybody on edge." Minnie nearly whispers. "Are you nervous?" She watches Mickey intently, waiting for the answer.
"I am, a lot actually. Closing is no easy fit and it can take ridiculous amount of time as well. The more time I'll take to close it, the more deaths there will be...on our side..." Mickey closes his eyes, trying to relax.
"Don't...don't think about this, we are not under your watch, you will be under our watch alright? You focus on that door and leave us do the rest." Minnie gently grabs Mickey's face with both hands. Her touch is so gentle and her hands so soft, Mickey lightly blushes and gulps, watching straight in her eyes. "Are you ready now?"
"I'll have to be ready, so might as well be ready now."
"Not completely the answer I had in mind but I guess it's a good start." Minnie giggles at Mickey's tilt of his head in confusion for a few seconds before he gets the message. "Oh, heh...I guess I'm saying things way to openly."
"You are speaking everything on your mind. Nothing to be ashamed of. Let's go, I can hear quite a lot of movements in the camp. I guess we will be going soon." Minnie sighs in annoyance. She wants to be with Mickey, she enjoys his company a lot.
"Already? Geez, going to act fast I guess." Mickey responds as they both stand up and heads to the center of camp. "Hey, you know, I heard the main plan but how is it going to go? I mean, details."
"Oh, first, gunners, we will shoot and kill everything we can before they reach us, once they are close, swordsman will be taking care of them while gunners retreat on a more favorable position for support. Then, the mages will cast their spells to either buff their allies or weaken the enemies. It costs less mana to do that rather then using damaging spells. They will also heal when possible. We have something and everybody knows their work so it should be ok. We also have Ansem, Yen Sid aaannnnddddd you."
"Oh please, I'm way below Ansem and Yen Sid's skills..."
"But you still are his student, right?"
"I...yes, I still am."
"Which means you still are learning from one of the best if not the best of the best. Well...I have to go meet my squad now. See you later on the battlefield." Before leaving, Minnie grabs Mickey and kisses him on his right cheek before giggling and running off.
"Well damn...bro, I see you made past the 'just friends' zone did ya?" Oswald jumps on his little brother from behind, nearly tripping Mickey in the process.
"Well...heh...I guess I cannot say anything about that. I really like her..."
"You'll see her right after that fight...trust me you will." Oswald grins "Come on, I was looking for you, Yen Sid is waiting for you at the entrance of the camp, go ahead. We will join you guys later at the gate."
"Right..." Mickey's face darkens for about a second but he manages to regain composure and walks away.
"Hey bro, take care and be careful." Oswald smiles while giving a thumb up to his sibling. "You got this, I believe in you."
"Take care as well mate. We will go back to Twilight Town together. I promise you that." Mickey smiles back and runs off to his master.
Donald, Goofy and Ortensia arrives just a few seconds later, all geared up.
"Did we miss him?" Goofy asks hopeful that his answer would be answered negatively.
"Yes, just by a few seconds."
"Awww gorsh, I wanted to wish him good luck..." Goofy sigh sounding disappointed.
"He will be fine...come on let's go. We have a war to win."
