When Crin woke up, his head hurt a bit. He didn’t see any gold creatures anywhere in sight. He stood up and it was dark and windy. Impulse told him to duck quickly and he dropped to the ground just in time to see a building fly over his head and into a giant golden orb of energy floating in the air. Crin jumped back startled and then remembered his friends. Crin ran in the opposite direction, calling out Mink and Rayba’s names. Then he stopped as a group of golden creatures glided from behind an alley. They saw Crin, made some frightening noises and glided towards him. The Keyblade appeared in Crin’s hand and he started striking out at the creatures but more appeared out of a half ruined building. Crin tensed up and prepared for them to come, but then something jumped from over a building and started striking out at the gold creatures. Once it had finished off the creatures. The figure turned to him and walked over to him. It was very short with very large ears. It then spoke to Crin. “Gosh, got an infestation here dontcha.” Crin was so stunned he could not speak. The figure cut a comical figure with its large ears. The new figure opened its mouth to speak but ducked as a tree flew over its head. The figure said sadly, “the emptyness is taking over this world too.” Crin was confused, but then the figure said, “Come on, let’s go.”
“Go where” said Crin. “To another world, to safety. Follow me” said the figure running towards the middle of town. Crin followed him, his head swimming with questions. The figure made a right turn down a side street and stopped. Crin caught up with him and gazed in awe. Right in front of them was a floating ship. A hatch opened and some stairs descended and the thing got on. Crin walked towards the stairs and looked back at Twilight Town. Mostly everything was gone now. Crin thought about Mink and Rayba but the thing said “hey, let’s go” Crin looked away and ran onto the ship. The hatch closed and the ship rose into the air.
Crin sat down on one of the chairs in the back while the figure drove. “Who are you?” Crin asked it. “He’s the king, he’s the king” said two squealing voices. Crin started and looked beside him and saw a pair of chipmunks jumping up and down on a seat. The figure laughed. “I’m Mickey Mouse, King of Disney Castle.” said Mickey. “Pleased to meet you, and thanks for saving me, I’m Crin” said Crin, still a lot confused. “You’re welcome” said Mickey. “And those are Chip and Dale, the technicians for this ship.” “The Gummi Ship, the Gummi ship” said Chip and Dale, jumping up and down again. Mickey smiled. “Yes, this is the Gummi Ship, able to travel between worlds. Now I’m sure you have a lot of questions so I’m going to answer them the best I can.” Mickey switched the ship to auto-pilot and sat in the seat opposite Crin. Crin thought for a second about what question to ask first. "What were those things that attacked me, your Highness?” asked Crin.
“Call me Mickey” said the King. He went to a bookshelf, picked out a book, sat back down, and opened the book. A holographic image of the golden creatures Crin had seen appeared out of the book. “These are Soul Leachers. They strive to take away people’s souls by whatever means necessary. Be careful of these.” Crin had another question but Mickey stopped him. “Wait; there are a few things that you should be careful of while traveling.” “Traveling?” said Crin. “I just want to get back to my town.” Mickey shook his head sadly. “Your world is gone into emptyness, where all worlds that that the Soul Leachers capture, go, and they are used as bases for the Soul Leachers plans.” Mickey turned a few pages and another holographic image appeared. This page had pictures of an intimidating group of masked figures wearing cloaks. “This is Team Shadow. They are a group of 15 very powerful Soul Leachers that have taken human form who are the leaders of all the Soul Leachers.” Mickey looked up from the book.
“Okay next, it’s the…” The Gummi Ship rocked with the force of the crash. Mickey ran to the front and disengaged the auto-pilot. “We’re in the middle of a rock storm” said Dale, panicking. “Hang on tight” said Mickey.
Crin grabbed on to the seat as Mickey steered the ship through the field of rocks. After a few nervous minutes, Mickey sighed in relief. Coming closer was what looked like a blot, but then Crin realized that it was what looked like a tower, floating in space. “What’s that?” Crin asked. “That’s another world, that is Traverse Town.” Said Mickey bringing the Gummi ship lower until Crin saw a threshold in front of a door. Mickey brought the ship level with the door and the hatch opened and the stairs lowered. Mickey walked down the stairs and motioned for Crin to follow. “We’ll take care of the ship” said Chip. “Thanks” said Mickey opening the door. Crin followed him inside. The town was bustling with people but Mickey walked past them all. “What are we doing here?” Crin asked Mickey, taking in the features of the world. “We’re going to see Bril, the son of the famous Leon” Mickey replied, walking towards another door that said “Traverse Town, Third District.”
