Mickey couldn't help but smile. "Welp, we better get back to Merlin's! Race ya there!" Dismissing Darkside, The King headed back towards Merlin's home.
Mickey laughed. "I'm fine. Just not as young as I used ta be, that's all." He stood once more, looking at Pete flying through the Pete-holes. "Not exactly art, but...I can't complain!" He laughed.
That did it. The combination of attacks was too much, and Pete went flying literally THROUGH the walls of Villains' Vale, leaving two nice Pete-shaped holes as he flew off into the distance. "There..." Mickey panted, falling to one knee.
The blow to the chin knocked Pete into the air, and the fire spell set his head on...well, fire. "OW-HO-HOW!" Pete yelled. Mickey slid under Pete and stabbed him in the glutes before he landed, sending him some-20 feet into the air. Pete reacted by screaming like a little girl while airborn. Mickey pointed Darkside at Pete as he fell, a light forming at the tip. "Everybody, NOW! Before he lands!" Mickey swung his Keyblade in Pete's direction. "LIGHT!" He launched a Light Pearl.
"Right!" Mickey nodded. "Donald, Firaga! Goofy! Uppercut 'im with your shield! Let's GO!" He charged, leading the strike on the obese cat anthro.
Pete took the series of powerful bullets dead-on. "OOH! UGH! OW! URGH!" He grunted. He then looked up. "...oh no...OWCH!!!" He fell to one knee a few moments. He noticed the Large Bodies were dwindling, fast. Growling and snapping his fingers, they dissappeared. "Okay! Leon and Kaori, take a break! Donald and Goofy, let's show him how the Disney Crew gets it done!" Mickey called out.
Pete frowned at Kaori. "Well, THAT'S where you'd be wrong. See, unlike most fellas..." He charged at her. "I DO hit girls!" He swung, but Mickey blocked the blow with Darkside. "Donald! Goofy! Take out the rest of the Heartless! I'll keep 'im busy with Kaori and Leon while ya do!" Pete growled. "Yeah, well...dah, phooey!" He swung again, but His Majesty jumped over the fist and nailed Pete in the head.
OOC: The new, DUH. :P Pete laughed once more. "Well, if it ain't the Boat-Boy King and His Lackeys! Say...where's the kid?" He grinned. "Aw, and I thought I'd get to polish off all 'a you guys now..."
OOC: PLEASE don't bring her in--I have an idea.
"Thanks, guys! I'll handle this!" He jumped from ledge to ledge, up to the highest room in the tallest tower. However, there was an enormous explosion that sent him flying out only moments after he entered. Luckily, Mickey landed by his friends safely. Next, the Heartless stopped their attack. They lined up horizontaly, and opened like a gate. A dark portal appeared in the "gate" and out of it stepped... "WHA-HA-HA!" ...none other than Pete. OOC: OMGWTFBBQ SHREK LINES?!
Mickey countered a Large Body fist with Darkside, his Keyblade. "Guys! I gotta get in there! Could ya clear a path?" He stabbed a Large Body, destroying it instantly.
Mickey nodded to Kaori. "Let's go!" The tiny king jumped down the cliff, made a perfect 10-point landing, and charged at the large monsters.
King Mickey stopped by the cliff overlooking Villains' Vale. Looking down, he could see at least 100 Large Body Heartless blocking the outside. He then looked right across the gap, only to meet eyes with his former captain within the tower. "I knew it!" Mickey said quietly.
"I'm okay...I just thought--!" Suddenly, the King gasped. "There it is again! Now I KNOW who it is!" He rushed off towards the bailey.
"Hmm..." Mickey couldn't shake the feeling. "Okay, Leon. Anything would help now."
OOC: I'll bring in Pete shortly. For now, let's have him and Malificant seperate... IC: Mickey smiled. "Welp, I wouldn't be suprised if he had been!" Suddenly he felt something...a high-level dark power, but it felt...familiar. Mickey whispered to Riku. "Riku...did ya feel that just now?"
OOC: The_King as Pete FTW! XD
OOC: And I'd gladly take Pete. Don't wanna be greedy, just sayin'. Mickey nodded. "Yep! Looks like we got another adventure ahead a' us!"
"No, that ain't neccessarily true. Cloud was strugglin' with his own inner demons before. I think he must still be able ta beat Sephiroth. If he didn't have both light and darkness, Sephiroth would have takin' all his power by now. I sensed that Sephiroth wasn't as strong as he could've been when we fought. There's still a chance!" ---- MEANWHILE... In the ruins of the Castle that Never Was, a dark figure watched the conversation. "Clever, rat, very clever. But...that's why I have to find Cloud first." The figure said to himself.
"I...I think I knew I couldn't beat 'im. But...I had ta do something. I couldn't just let him walk outta there. But...it's true, the only one who can completely destroy Sephiroth is Cloud." Mickey said. OOC: *bows* XD
