Chapter 1: Another world to discover?
"Hey Sora, we just picked up a new reading from an energy source further south of here." Chip said in amazement. "Yea, hold on a sec while I focus more of the reading." Dale said after Chip. Chip and Dale began using the computer in front of them to read out the next signal. While the two chipmunks were tapping away on the computer, Sora was on the cockpit and just placed his hands behind his head and just sighed. "There's another energy reading? I thought we had cleared all of the worlds by now." Donald quacked. "Guess there must be one more we have to do. Don't worry, we can do this." Sora replied with a smile. "Gwarsh…hope the King will be all right just a little longer." Goofy said. "Yea…I also hope Riku and Kairi are ok too. Hey…maybe we can…" Sora said in mid sentence. Sora had been very concerned about Riku and Kairi ever since he heard that he might be part of Organization XIII. Or at least, that was all he knew at the time. There was still many more questions that needed to be answered and Sora was determined to find those answers whatever it took.
"The source has been determined and the image is coming up on the screen." Chip and Dale said together as they were uploading the image to the cockpit screen. Sora, Donald, and Goofy were looking upon the blank screen anxiously as they waited for this newly acquired energy source. After a few seconds, the screen instantly showed a new image of the reading and became visible and clear. "Looks like another world that has opened." Sora said out loud to the others. The party (Sora, Donald, and Goofy) continues to stare at the screen in amazement as they examine what they can see from this new world. "Well what do you say guys? Shall we finish the last world?" Sora said with great confidence while looking at Donald and goofy. "You bet!" Donald replied. "Let's do it!" Goofy replied too. As soon as everyone agreed with the new mission, Sora began to fly his custom made gummi to the new world.
Our heroes fly in the world and as the distance between the gummi and the earth close in, Sora and his party notices that it is beginning to snow. The snow grows heavier as they fly in closer and Sora soon enough spots a place to land the gummi. The area he chose to land was on a snowy open with trees surrounding everyone and here the snow stopped. A hundred yard radius of open snow with snow covered trees and pines reaching high among the sky. Once the gummi settled and powered down, Sora unbuckles his seat beat as does Donald and Goofy.
"Well we're here guys. Let's go" Sora said while jumping out from his seat and on towards the exit of the gummi. The party stepped outside and all of them squinted for the sun was out and fresh snow lay amongst their feet. The reflection of the sun beating on the snow was strong enough to give them a glare hence why they covered their eyes for a bit so their eyes adjusted.
After a minute or so, their eyes adjust and the glare was completely tolerable and Sora led the way out of this clearing. Ahead of him was a path leading out of the forest so naturally Sora followed. "I wonder where we are" Goofy asked while looking up at all the trees around him. Sora too was amazed at the scenery and was also wondering that same thing. "I don't know, but it sure is cold" Sora replied.
Cold indeed for the temperatures was probably in the lower 30's. Donald wasn't all that cold for he had feathers to keep him warm. Sora clamped his arms around his chest as he continued to march forward through the snow. The deepness of the snow was fortunately not an issue. From above it looked like the snow was a foot high.
Sora looked ahead of him and he saw another opening in the forest. There he saw a lamp post from the ground with the light inside on. "Hey guys look over there" Sora directed to the others. "It's a lamp post? Why is the light on? It's daytime" Donald quacked. After Donald asked about the lamp, Sora and his party approached the lamp and looked around for any signs of life. All Sora saw was the pathway and the trail of footprints he and the others left behind and in front of him was another pathway leading to another part of the forest. "Guess we better keep moving along" Goofy suggested. Sora nodded and as soon as he was about to continue the path leading to the new trail, 3 heartless appear before the party.
The party spooked by the sudden appearance of one Assault Rider and two Bookmasters about a yard in front of them blocking the un-traveled path. Everyone went in action stance and before the surprise of the heartless; Sora's Sleeping Lion Keyblade instantly appeared in his hands as did Donald's Meteor Staff and Goofy's Ogre Shield. Sora drove in for a ground combo at the Assault Rider and slashed away before he was able to swing his lance around and about protecting him for a bit. Donald let loose with a Thundaga at one of the Bookmasters but upon the spell ending, he suddenly remembered that Bookmasters are immune to all magic. Goofy attacked the other Bookmaster with a spin attack with his shield and began to hover off the ground to attack. Sora finished his combo and knocked back the Assault Rider far and looked back at Donald and said with a funny look "Donald, you should know that they are immune to magic by now" Donald before then was retaliating with attacks from his staff and while attacking the Bookmaster in the air, he replied to Sora with impatience "I know I know!". Not wanting to attack any further, Sora finishes off the Assault Rider with a Thundaga killing him. His focus was now turned to the others who was still attacking at their foes. Sora jumped in with an aerial attack at the one Bookmaster Donald was facing and slashed away and finished him off with an end to his combo. After that Bookmaster died, Sora looked at the one Goofy was fighting and saw that he had slain the Bookmaster at the same time Sora looked Goofy's way. The party looks around to see if there were anymore on the field but saw nothing. They have defeated the first batch of heartless in this world.
After such a surprise attack, Sora picks up the HP, MP, and Drive orbs and so does Donald and Goofy…but not as much. Upon retrieval of the goods, Sora also picks up a Hi-Potion and puts it in his pocket to be used in the next battle quickly when needed. "Piece of cake" Sora said with confidence. "Remember about those Bookmasters Donald, it's just a waste of magic to cast one at them." "I know already, I wasn't expectin' to fight one when we got here ya know" Donald replied with impatience. Sora and Goofy giggle lightly at Donald a bit. Donald was always funny like that…easy to temper.
Before Sora was about to continue the path ahead of him, he heard rustling in the woods near him. He looked in the direction of where the sound was coming from since he and the others still had their weapons out, they braced down in anticipation of what might come out of the woods. Sora kept a determined face and slowly walked forward to the bushes in front. Before he got any closer, he heard a screech and out from the bushes came a little girl that made that sound who accidentally tripped in the excitement. "Please don't hurt me, I don't mean any harm" the little girl said covering her face in terror. Sora didn't even advance any further when he saw that it was a little girl that came out of those woods. His keyblade disappeared while he was looking at her but he kept trying to look through the woods as if he was expecting someone to be chasing her. He saw no one there and heard no sounds other than the little girl in front of him on the ground crying though Sora couldn't see it for her arms were sheltering her innocent frightened face.
Sora and Goofy lowered their knees to be in the little girl's height and not tower over her and Donald slowly approached the girl for he was short enough not to worry. "Hey it's ok, we're not going to hurt you" Sora said with a soft voice as to calm her down more. Sora extended his right hand out in offering to help the little girl up. As he did this, the little girl slowly moved her head up and slowly looked up at Sora's hand and then glanced at him. Then Sora was able to see the tale her eyes gave away, it was clear that someone must have been chasing her or that she had been watching the battle that had just taken place here minutes ago. The little girl…she was in tears and Sora saw that. So to make her smile, Sora gave her his signature wide smile that showed his teeth. This goofy expression of his never fails; it cheers even the most down soul. The little girl smiled slightly and slowly moved her right arm so that her hand touched the palm of his hand. Sora gently helps the little girl up and he and Goofy stand up in relief. Sora then took a closer look at the girl and saw that she had pale blue eyes, short brown hair, and little freckles across her face. She is indeed an adorable little girl.
"Thanks for saving me" the little girl said to the group. "No problem…but saved you from what?" Sora asked. "Those monsters you just attacked, they tried to capture me earlier so I ran and hid in the bushes" the little girl responded. "Ohhh so that's what you were scared from. I thought someone was chasing you through the forest." Sora said in relief. "Well you don't need to worry about that. Where are you from little girl? I was gonna say that you should head for home…but it doesn't look like you're from around here." Sora said then began to look around and wonder himself…where is home? "Funny you should ask mister, I was going to ask you that same thing" the little girl replied. "What are you guys?" she said. "Oh, I'm Sora, that's Donald and this is Goofy" After the intro, Donald and Goofy waived "hi" to the girl and smiled. "You two look funny…are you a duck?" the girl asked Donald. Donald quacked with upset and crossed his arms and looked the other way. The little girl giggled and then turned her attention towards Goofy. "And you…you look like a dog of some sort" "Well we do look a little different, but then again who isn't?" Sora commented. "I guess you're right. My name is Lucy and I'm a human." She said to Sora extending her hand out to shake Sora's hand. Sora accepted and shook Lucy's hand.
"So what were those monsters anyway?" Lucy asked. "Those are heartless and we have a feeling that there is more than that around here." Sora replied and upon saying that, Lucy's eyes widened and said "There are more of them here?" "I'd imagine so…but where were you headed before you ran into the heartless?" Sora asked. "I was gonna go back to the Wardrobe from whence I came" Lucy replied. "A Wardrobe? I didn't see any on the way here." Sora said. "It's back here through the thick patches of the forest. Do you want to come along? You can meet the others!" Lucy said with excitement knowing that she can prove to the others that there is something beyond the Wardrobe. "I don't know if we can…or that we should" Sora said with hesitation. "Come on pleaseeeee!" Lucy said while looking at Sora with her big pale blue eyes. Goofy got close behind Sora said to him softly "Maybe we should go with her. We might find out more on where the heartless lurk here." Sora then thought about what Goofy just said then gave a slight nod and agreed with Lucy to go to the Wardrobe. Lucy took hold of Sora's hand and led the way to where the wardrobe was located. Sora being pulled along with Lucy, Donald and Goofy follow behind. The way Lucy was going was almost backtracking to where the gummi was only instead Lucy made a right where there was a hidden pathway that did have the thick bushes she was talking about.
Sora, Donald and Goofy were trying to push through the branches as much as they could but the tight space and the bushes smacking across their faces only made it harder. "Quit shoving!" Donald said impatiently while he was trying to see where he was going too. "Goofy you're on my foot!" Sora said trying to move his foot out of the way so he could advance forward. As they progressed, it became noticeably darker and soon enough the coldness dissipated and the trees and the pointy pine needles lessened. "Gwarsh, it got much warmer didn't it?" Goofy commented. "Yea it did and look there's no snow on the ground…its hard wood" Sora replied. Everyone was now walking on wood and the party couldn't make out the soft objects that surrounded them now for it was still a little dark. Lucy stopped and the party followed soon after and Lucy began to open a door and when she did the darkness faded away. Lucy stepped out from the wardrobe and looked back to wait for Sora and the others to come out. Sora stepped onto the floor of this new room and Donald came out afterwards as did Goofy. Everyone turned back to see where they came from and all they saw was darkness. They didn't see the outside sky or not even a single trace of snow. The soft objects that covered them pushing through back there were the many fur coats that hung in the wardrobe.
While the party was still looking back at the entrance of the wardrobe, Lucy closed the door of the wardrobe and the room echoed with a small thud. Sora looked to his right and there he saw a window with the rays of the sun shining through radiantly. The sun illuminating the room with an orange tint making the wood of the walls more brilliant and appear darker in color. Donald and Goofy also taking notice of the room that all of them were in. "Wow, where are we?" Sora asked Lucy as he now began to look at the ceiling. "This room is for the wardrobe here. The door to this room was unlocked and no one was in it at the time so I decided to take a peek inside and soon enough I ended up out there in the snow." Lucy explained. Sora walked to the window and moved the curtains away with his hands and looked outside and saw lush grass and flowers in bloom and around the corner to his right were more country side and a road. Donald and Goofy did the same thing and Donald tried to reach the window sill and Sora noticed him jumping up to look outside so he helped Donald up. All were amazed at the new scenery in front of their eyes. A minute ago they were in a cold winter forest, now they are in a room looking outside that appeared like it was the first day of summer. Sora was curious to as how the environment had changed so quickly.
While the party was still looking outside the window, Lucy was watching them admire the view and then she saw someone coming out from the door that led the way in this room. It was Peter that had come in the room and before he was about to say anything, Lucy quickly gestured a "hush" expression to Peter and pointed a finger vertically on her lips. Peter gave an inquisitive look at Lucy until he looked to his left and saw three figures looking out the window. "WHO ARE YOU THREE!" Peter said with great concern. The party jumped out from the window and faced towards the voice. "Peter don't shout! They are with me, I found them through the wardrobe" Lucy said to Peter with concern. "Through the wardrobe? You mean to tell me…that they were in the wardrobe this whole time?" Peter said. "Yes, I brought them here from the other side to prove to you that I DID see something beyond the wardrobe. These three and I saw Mr. Tumnus too but I didn't bring him along with me." The party looked at each other and wondered who Mr. Tumnus was and Peter still kept his eyes on the party as he felt very protective at the moment. While everyone was looking at each other wondering what's going on…it was clear that there was some explaining to do and Sora and his friends wouldn't be going anywhere for a while. This was fine for him, as long as he stuck to his goal about finding out more about the heartless.
