One month to go...

As usual, I failed to get to sleep at a decent hour last night. But after I did, I found myself having a dream. And it wasn’t an ordinary dream. It was a message.

“Mouse... oh Mooooouuuuuussssseeeee...”

Snort. “G’way.”

“MOUSE! WAKE UP!”

At that, I snapped to attention. Inside my mind, that is. Outside, I have no clue what happened.

The voice sighed. “Thank goodness. I was afraid I was going to run out of time just getting your attention.”

Then he appeared, and I immediately recognized him. Red coat, blonde hair, big smile...

“Vash!”

“Hey, Mouse! Good to see you!”

“Vash, where have you been? I’ve been worried sick! And what about the others? Are they okay?”

“Everyone’s fine, Mouse. But I don’t really know where we are right now. I just know I’ve got a lot to tell you, and a limited time to do it in.” At that, his voice took on a more serious tone, and I looked at him.

“What is it?”

“Naraku.” Vash sounded disgusted at the name. “He’s building up an army, Mouse. He found the book.”

“The book.” Then I realized what he meant. “That book. The one even Voldemort never tried to get his hands on.”

Vash nodded. “That book.”

I’m sure you’re all wondering what we’re talking about. Well, it’s the big one: Necronomicon ex Mortis, the Book of the Dead. Bound in human flesh, inked in human blood. If Naraku’s got that, it means we’ll be having a reenacment of Army of Darkness pretty soon. Good thing I’ve got my Boomstick.

Vash continued. “He’s got Voldemort on his side too now. I don’t know what he promised him, but it must have been something big.”

“Oh goody...”

Vash now looked even more serious. “Listen, Mouse. You have to start playing Kingdom Hearts II again. Your Keyblade is linked to both of your games, and now that Naraku’s gotten even more powerful, the only way you can become strong enough to stop him is if you make it all the way to the end. Beat every tournament, clear out every world, get up all your forms to their maximum level, and don’t forget to beat Sephiroth and get the Ultima Weapon too. He’ll be coming for you in a month.”

“September first?”

He nodded.

I snorted. “Figures. What happens if I don’t finish in time?”

“I don’t know, Mouse.” He was quiet for a moment. “I just don’t know.”

And with that, I woke up.

This is not good news. Especially with as long as it took me to start playing again since last time. But with the fate of the world riding on it... well, I’m not going to let Naraku win this time. I’m going to finish my game and beat him for good. I’ve already played some more today - I finished Agrabah, Hundred Acre Wood and the first part of Halloween Town. Tomorrow, I’m going to do my best to get that world, the Pride Lands and Atlantica finished. And then onward. I just hope I’ll have enough time to make it to the end.

To all members of the Terran Resistance: even with as strong as I’m going to get, one man is not enough to stop an army. Even my remaining live-ins (who’ve already started training to get more powerful in order to help me fight off an army of the dead) won’t be enough if Naraku’s going all out. If we’re to survive this, I’m going to need as many people as possible to be here, standing by my side when September comes. I have the feeling this is going to be the big one.

And when it comes, I’m going to be ready.

Until next time...

P.S.: If Harry Potter is reading this, this’ll be your big chance to take Voldemort down for good. I hope to see you here in September. Just don’t kill his body: Snape won’t be happy if you do. (If you arrive early, we can talk further on this subject. If Naraku, Voldemort or one of their allies is reading this, I don’t want to give them any information they could use against us.)

P.P.S.: Finally got the title field active!
