7. Let's Split Up

You had all gone back to the ship feeling somewhat defeated after your trip to Wonderland. You met the others in the control room to discuss what happened and your next moves. It was decided that your group could cover more ground more quickly if it was split up. The two keyblade wielders would separate and then could cover all of the worlds in half the time. Sora would travel with Donald and Goofy in their ship and you would travel with the rest of the group on this ship. You had asked curiously why the groups were so lopsided and Leon had explained that King Mickey's men were capable enough to handle things by themselves as they had been doing before the rest of the group had formed, and they had the most experience. Sora seemed to be getting along the best with them, so you assumed that was why he was chosen over you to go with them. You still found it somewhat strange to talk to animals, and you were generally a quiet person anyway (unless you were really curious about something), so you hadn't really talked to the duck and dog much yet.

And then Tifa covered the worlds that each group would visit. Sora would be going to a place called Deep Jungle and you would be going to a world called Olympus Coliseum. Deep Jungle was exactly what it sounded like, she had explained. It was full of green and animals and there were only a few people there to fight off the heartless. Olympus Coliseum was a place full of completely different culture than what you were used to. The people there built grand marble stadiums that housed things like hero tournaments. It sounded much more exciting than Destiny Islands, and you were excited to see it, although you wished you wouldn't have to fight heartless while you were there and that Sora could be with you. You were sure, though, that if it housed a hero tournament Sora would be there one day. You couldn't see him missing that.

"And we found this," Leon said as he held out the gummi equipment to Cid.

The gruff blonde's eyebrows furrowed as he took it from Leon and inspected it. Suddenly his face lit up and he said, "This is a warp module! The things are darn expensive to buy or we'd already have one. If I hook this into our engine we can use warp drive to get from place to place. Instead of taking a day to travel, it'll only take an hour."

"Awesome!" Yuffie pumped a fist into the air. "We'll be at Olympus Coliseum in no time!"

"But before we take off," Tifa looked at Yuffie as if she was talking more to her than the rest of the group, "we all need some rest."

As if on cue you yawned and Sora chuckled at you before he yawned himself.

"Okay," Donald turned to Sora, "Go get your stuff and we'll show you the cabins on our ship."

"Alright," Sora nodded and stood to walk up to his room and gather his stuff.

You were watching him step up the ladder when Cid said to you, "Hey, [Name]. Wanna help me with installing this? I can show ya the engine room."

"Um," you turned your head to answer him, "How about in five minutes?"

Cid glanced at the ladder Sora had escaped up as if he knew what you were thinking before nodding with a small smirk on his face.

"Thanks! I'll be right back!" you called to him as you stood and jogged over to the ladder to catch up to Sora. You knew it wouldn't take long for him to gather what little he had and take it over to Donald and Goofy's ship. His door was open when you reached his room at the end of the hall.

You were right, he was practically done shoving everything into the small duffel bag he had.

"Hey," you greeted him.

He looked up from his bag. "Hey, [Name]."

"Deep Jungle, huh?" you said as you walked over to him with a small smirk on your lips.
