Ok, I am very happy how this fiction is turning so far. However, I can feel the writing block coming slowly on this work and I'll probably be working on some other fictions I have in mind on the side to keep things fresh and interesting and not 'burnout' on this one fanfiction. Please feel free to give me hints, critiques as I want to become better. Any questions? Ask them and I will gladly answer them. Have a wonderful day.


Mickey flies through the clouds, faintly hearing the sound of battle in the distant. 'Sora, Riku, hang on.' Every now and then, the clouds are lighting up with a green aura for a few seconds, 'What is going on there?'. Finally, he manages to reach the upper side of the clouds and takes a few seconds to scan the area. 'Woah' he thinks as he watches the sea of clouds below him, the light of the moon reflecting on the thick mist. He then spots the massive dragon in the distance spewing flames toward the two keyblade wielders. The mouse spawn his dual swords 'alright Maleficent, time to finish this once and for all.'


Sora and Riku are struggling to get close to Maleficent to damage her. She is flying and reacting fast to whatever they are doing and she defends her blind spot pretty well.

"We will never do it if this keeps up Sora. Do you have any more ideas?" Riku comments right beside his friend. "My energy is fading, we are in trouble."

"Mine too. We need to find a way to make her expose her weak spot. I don't any ideas but if panic, we will waste our energy even faster. Maybe we should dive down...or fight her in the clouds."

"That is so risky and we can lose her completely. We don't know if Mickey closed the door, she might use this opportunity to go back to the door." Riku muses.

"I guess so...hold on, I see someone coming up, hopefully it's good for us." Sora says hopeful. Sora squint his eyes and immediately recognizes Mickey "It's Mickey, my guesses are that the gate has been sealed."

The dragon dives and disappears into the sea of clouds as soon as she hears these words, the silence drops in for a few seconds before a loud roar can be heard.

"That sounds like a 'noooo' to me." Mickey arrives with a smile, relived arrive in time.

"Okay, now she is pissed off...and probably desperate at this point." Riku grins slightly. "Let's bring her to the army, the more, the merrier right?"

"I don't think they want to fight a flipping dragon but we are getting weaker by the minute...you know what? Let me go talk to Ansem, I'll be back in a flash." Sora disappears in a flash of light.

"So, how is she? Hard to get a clean hit?" Mickey slightly arrange his grip on his swords.

"She is a real pain in the butt. She protects her weak spots really well and she moves so fast. There's no way we can do critical or deadly damages. We need another approach." Riku stretches his back. "I think with you though, it will be different. Maybe if you manage to shock her nervous systems..."

"I think I can, I just have to be careful with my mana as well. The portal took more than I thought it would." Mickey grunts, sweating bullets.

"Right..."

Riku does not have the time to finish his sentence as the dragon resurfaces from the sea of clouds in fury. "You miserable little pests. My plan is ruined because of you..." she only then notices Mickey "YOU!!!! Alive? How? I...no matter, I know you ruined everything, I'm going to wipe you out of this existence and then, I'll finish the whole army. You will all pay!"

"There's something you have to know Maleficent. You might exclude some of us because of your ability to fly but..." Yen Sid appears from the clouds, floating. "You should know that the universe is under my watch."

"Yen Sid, the little mouse decides to get out of his little hole. Still alive? I am really surprised. What are you preparing to counter me out? I know your tricks old man. I...I would love to fight you but I have better errands to do."

"Really? Where is the fury you had earlier? Didn't you want to obliterate me into oblivion?" Mickey cast his swords away before crossing his arms in dismay. "Coward."

Maleficent laughs as she transforms back to her human form. "Poor fools, you clearly are clueless, aren't you? I'll leave you know. We will meet again. I promise and this time, you will die...you! Stupid mouse, you better watch your back, watch your steps because I'll never forget you." She spits every words in a venomous tone before disappearing in a torrent of flames.

The group remains silent for a bit, reflecting on those words. Mickey is the first one to break the attention as he soars downward slowly, coughing and loosing the ability to fly. Riku soars to the mouse and holds him as they fly down together, followed by Yen Sid closely.

Once their feet touch the ground, Mickey straight up pukes on the side. 'And this is what I get for pushing myself while I'm not recovered fully.'

"Let's go back to camp. I think I know what Maleficent is up to and if I'm correct, we will have a lot of work to do. And I have to tend to Mickey." Yen Sid sounds worried. He looks at his apprentice and muses to himself 'How are you going to deal with recovering and those events? Let's see how your spirit holds up.'

Oswald and his friends are waiting back in camp for the return of Riku, Sora and Mickey. Goofy and Sylvia are sitting back to back, reading their own books, Donald and Daisy are checking their weapons, Ortensia and Oswald are kicking stones around.

"This is really frustrating." Oswald mumbles "I want to be out there, or I should say up there and help out but I can't. I'm stuck here on the ground..."

"To be honest, I kind of am happy to not fight that dragon right now. Most of us are drained and I can hardly see myself fight again so soon." Ortensia sits down.

"I do not want to become a grilled duck alright? I'm fine here." Donald jokes in a good nature. Daisy gives him a light punch on his shoulder.

"You would be quite delicious dear...I'm going to stop right here. Me and my dark jokes." She grunts. That! was a fail.

"So, I guess this is it? We will go back home or at least in our homeland and hunt around for quests." Oswald smiles gently. "After something like this, our skills definitely sharpened."

"Yes and no." Yen Sid speaks right behind them, scaring the living hell out of Donald and Goofy.

"One day, I'm going to die of a heart attack for sure if he keeps doing that." Donald mutters to himself, his feathers all ruffled up.

"No time to speak. We have an emergency on our hands, we have a meeting with Ansem right now." Yen Sid strikes his beard a few times, while beckoning them to follow him.

"What is the rush? We won, didn't we?" Sylvia asks worried.

"We won a battle, only a small battle I'm afraid. We will talk about it with everybody at the meeting right now." The sorcerer's voice darkens.

"Have you seen Mickey? We haven't seen him yet." Goofy demands in a rather panicked voice.

"He is not well; his body is still recovering. He threw up right after the battle and he is now resting back at my tower. I will need to give him advices on how to properly rest. Anyway, you will see him later."

The group arrives in a large very large white tent. Inside, it is looking like an amphitheater and there are enough seats for the whole army to sit. At the center, Ansem, Riku are chatting clearly waiting for Yen Sid to show up. The group finds a place to sit down and Yen Sid joint the duo.

"Well as you might expect, today is a victory. We fought hard and thanks to Mickey who is currently resting, managed to close a gate from god knows where it comes from. However, Yen Sid gave me some very troublesome news that seems to correlate with some information I just received from Twilight Town." Ansem looks at Yen Sid, giving him the lead to speak.

"As you know, Riku and Sora were fighting Maleficent and Mickey showed up to help. However, I decided to stop staying in the shadows and jump in the action I guess. She fled which was surprising. Before that though, she left said something very odd and I had to check something with a fellow of mine, older then I am. Turns out that there is more then one gate to that same very dimension and I am sure that she knows where they are and Ansem received some news from other worlds claiming that those same creatures are present as well. The good news now. First of all, the armies are also mobilized there and we will help them. So, we will send at least two squads together in each world to help. Second of all, every army have at least one sorcerer who can seal the gates. And as you saw, the more we wait, the harder it will be to close the gates, so we have to act fast and Maleficent knows we will be coming. So be ready for anything. Squad leaders, we will talk to you to set the squads team, the rest, you are dismissed. Pack up and rest well."

"Well...what kind of madness are getting into?" Daisy sigh, shaking her head.

"No clue, but I'm staying here. I'm really curious of what is going to be said here." Oswald rubs his chin. "And I think we were doing great on the battlefield ey?"

"Heck yeah. We should team up." Daisy's face lit up. "I mean the synergy was good."

"Ay" Donald, Goofy, Minnie, Ortensia and Sylvia agrees together.

"That settles it. We will be together." Daisy grins.

"Heh Mickey will be surprised. I hope he will be fit to come with us." Oswald's ears drop slightly.

"Ah don't worry, he will be just fine and Minnie will be taking great care of him as well." Daisy teases, having a blushed Minnie as an answer.

"I'll get you for this Daisy."

"Oh, I know."

"Right, you two stays here, we will go pack our stuffs." Ortensia yawns before stretching.

"Ok then, see you later then."
