The Keyblade War Chapter I

Chapter Twenty Three: The Dawn Of War

King Mickey and Dexeres are in the portal on their way towards The Mysterious Tower to seek counsel with Yen Sid. Both of them are silent for most of the journey, as they both ponder as to how they can be able to turn the tide of the war in their favor. Dexeres thinks back to a more happier time, a time where he didn't have to worry about war, a time he didn't have to worry about sorrow...a time when he was human. Now they are close by to The Mysterious Tower.

King Mickey: Well Dexeres, I sure hope Yen Sid can help us solve this problem. With one so wise as him, I imagine he'll have the answer to turn the tide of war, or at least a clue.

Dexeres: Your Majesty, we have to be more alert now. We were caught off guard when Maleficent attacked, and hadn't we been there, lives would have been lost. We're just lucky that Kyle came in and saved us.

King Mickey: Yes! He looks to be a kind person with lots of power within him. And there is also something familiar about him, but I can't quite place my finger on it.

Dexeres: We're here Your Majesty, now come on, let's go. Any information we can get from Yen Sid is sure to be valuable. Now come on, we have no time to waste.

They now arrive to The Mysterious Tower, and they open the door and they start to climb the winding staircase. They keep walking until they reach Master Yen Sid's study, where he is carefully examining old books and working on potions.

King Mickey: Master Yen Sid, it is an honor as always.

Dexeres: Master Yen Sid, a pleasure to see you again.

Yen Sid: Ah my friends, greetings. Please, have a seat, I will be right with you.

Dexeres and King Mickey sit down and they see Master Yen Sid finish his potion and put it in a jar. Soon after, he brings one of his books to his desk.

Yen Sid: Now then, what news do you bring?

King Mickey: Yen Sid, Maleficent has returned, and she's as powerful and evil as ever, and she even has Master Eraqus and Master Xehanort in her control! We barely managed to hold them off, but thanks to one of our companions, we were able to come out of the battle as victors.

Yen Sid: Ah, I see...and what is this boy's name?

Dexeres: His name is Kyle.

When Dexeres mentions his name, Yen Sid seems to be surprised, as he stays silent for a few seconds. He leans back on his chair and thinks deeply, and then he directs his gaze upon Dexeres.

Yen Sid: This boy is someone which whom I've spoken before.

King Mickey: You have? When?

Yen Sid: I believe it was five months ago. He came to me to seek guidance, for he was developing some kind of research. He would not reveal any specific details, but he didn't need to. For I saw that his intentions were good. I encouraged him to keep on in his research, and so he left, and I have not seen him ever since.

King Mickey: See Dexeres, I knew that I'd seen Kyle before!

Dexeres: But I don't understand...he never told us any of this. He hasn't told us where he's from and he doesn't seem to remember much.

Yen Sid: Ah, then the boy must have lost his memories.

Dexeres: Of course...it makes sense. Well look, what should our strategy be next? I already have the Nobodies on our side, so we have that advantage, but we need to have well thought battle plans if we're going to gain the upper hand in this war.
