Now we enter/re-enter the Valley of Peace. Enjoy!

After saying their goodbyes to Lea, Minnie, Daisy, Max, Scrooge, Ludwig, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Chip, Dale, Webby, and even Clarabelle Cow, Horace Horsecollar, and Pluto who had appeared to say goodbye, Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy entered the Gummiship as it was prepared to launch. The garage opened up as they strapped their seat belts.

Then, Mickey remembered something and said, awkwardly, "Uh, might want to hold on to your armrests and buckle up tight fellas, it's not gonna be a fun drop."

Sora, Riku, and Kairi traded confused glances. But Donald and Goofy's eyes went wide as they immediately knew what the king was talking about and held on to their armrests and tightened their seatbelts.

"Aren't we just gonna fly through the tunnel?" asked Riku.

"Actually..." began Goofy.

Suddenly, a large red arrow appeared pointing down. And in one second, the entire ship fell when the real launch tunnel opened up underneath them and the six struggled to hold on as the fell, screaming in surprise which echoed all around the tunnel.

Lea, Minnie, Daisy, Max, Scrooge, Ludwig, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Chip, Dale, Webby, Clarabelle, Horace, and Pluto looked at the open tunnel in surprise while it closed up along with the wall-tunnel entrance.

"That's new." muttered Webby.

"Yup." Huey, Dewey, and Louie said together, before looking at each other skeptically for talking in sync... again.

"Who's idea was it to put in a drop-out entrance?" asked Lea, skeptically.

"It was a budget issue." answered Minnie, sheepishly.

As soon as they reached the exit, Mickey quickly readjusted the ship's position and typed in the coordinates to the Valley of Peace, which Donald had stored in the database after receiving them from Cid last year. Sora, Riku, and Kairi seemed spooked from the sudden drop. Donald and Goofy, although they had experienced it before, felt the same.

"Who's... idea... was that?" asked Riku, slowly while getting over the shock.

"Sorry about that..." apologized Donald, sheepishly.

"Why did you make that the exit instead of the one where you could just fly through?" asked Kairi.

"It was a budget issue." answered Mickey, sheepishly. "We couldn't put it somewhere else, so... we had to put in a drop out one. Professor VonDrake installed it."

"Next time, I'll have Uncle Scrooge ask Gyro and Fenton to try and redo it." muttered Donald. Mickey and Goofy nodded as, like Donald, thought it was time to change that as they didn't like it either.

"Who're they?" asked Sora.

"Gyro Gearloose is Uncle Scrooge's personal scientist at his Money Bin." answered Donald.

"And Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera is his assistant." added Goofy. "His mother's a cop."

"Cool, just like Riku's dad." remarked Kairi, making Riku smirk.

"Fenton is also a superhero named Gizmoduck." added Goofy.

"Now that, I have to see." beamed Sora.

"Especially since you met Big Hero 6." added Goofy with a smile.

As the six friends talked, Mickey drove the Gummiship towards their destination.

It wasn't long until the six spotted a world familiar to Sora, Donald, and Goofy (Riku and Mickey too), and unfamiliar to Kairi. Mickey parked the ship.

"Alright, we're here." said the mouse king.

"So... how do we get out?" asked Kairi. Riku looked puzzled too as and his five friends got out of their seats and to the back of the cockpit, where they stood in a circle.

Suddenly, the entire area began to glow yellow.

"You'll see." promised Sora before flashing a grin. "It's gonna be so cool. You're gonna love it."

Riku and Kairi traded glances as Donald and Goofy traded smirking glances.

Then, they all heard a low humming sound and felt the air warm around the six of them. A pillar of light rose around the six friends, nearly blinding them, but they did feel a nice warm feeling through their bodies. Then, nothing at all. Then, the light faded away to reveal Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy in what appeared to be the back lot of several small buildings. Riku and Kairi were surprised at what just happened, and even though the former had been in this world before, he was still surprised that was how Sora, Donald, and Goofy ended up in other worlds since two years ago.

"What..." began Kairi.

"It's a good way to draw less attention in worlds like this." explained Sora. "That's why we never park on the ground."

"The only words we can park on the ground on are Disney Town, Radiant Garden, Mysterious Tower, even Twilight Town, and once it's found, The Land of Departure." added Goofy.

"The way this works is that either me or Donald or Goofy send signals up to the ship and it automatically sends down those beams to and from there." explained Mickey.

"The light also works as a cure spell too." added Donald.

"Yeah, that way if were cut, bruised, or severely injured, it'll help heal ya and restore your energy. A-hyuck!" agreed Goofy with a smile.

"Neat." murmured Riku.

"With that said, shall we look around?" asked Sora.

The other five nodded.

Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy walked around the Chinese town, being greeted by the anthropomorphic geese, sheep, bunnies, and pigs, who especially recognized Sora, Donald, and Goofy, since they had helped Po defeat Tai Lung.

"I must say, this place is amazing." said Kairi with a smile.

"Glad you like it." smiled Sora, just as they approached the mountain where the Jade Palace stood on top of.

"Wow... that's a lot of steps." Kairi muttered in shock.

"Think you should use your gliders this time?" asked Goofy.

"Or, how about not drawing attention?" deadpanned Riku.

"Guess were walking again." sighed Donald in defeat.

Sora, Riku, Kairi, Goofy and even Mickey sighed in defeat as they began walking up the stairs.

"So who lives there exactly?" asked Kairi.

"A red panda who's the grandmaster, Master Shifu..." began Goofy.

"The Furious Five; Master's Tigress, Viper, Crane, Mantis, and Monkey..." added Donald.

"And Po Ping; a large but goodhearted panda who's the Dragon Warrior." finished Sora.

"What is the Dragon Warrior anyway?" asked Kairi.

"According to Po, Shifu, the Five, and the late grandmaster, a tortoise named Master Oogway, the Dragon Warrior is a legendary prodigy described as one who would know the secret behind a mysterious object called the Dragon Scroll. By reading the scroll, the Dragon Warrior would be granted 'limitless power' after achieving the highest level of kung fu." explained Sora.

"But afterwards, we found out that the 'secret' was only to believe in yourself, and that such power was found within." added Donald.

"Yeah. And Master Oogway understood this simple logic and thus he created the Dragon Scroll, its blank, gold surface symbolizing that knowledge." finished Goofy.

"Wow, sounds like a lot to remember." chuckled Riku.

"Yeah, but you get used to their stories. Especially the very cool ones." replied Sora, rubbing the back of his neck.

It wasn't long until the six friends reached the gates. They each stopped for a moment to catch their breath.

"Wow... what... a... climb..." gasped Kairi in between breaths.

"Must... have... 5... hour... energy!" gasped Donald, who fell flat on his front.

"That never... stops... bein'... tiring..." sighed Goofy.

"You said it." muttered Sora.

Sora then moved to open the gates, which were surprisingly open.

"Shall we?" he asked his friends.

"Are you sure?" asked Kairi. "I don't think we should go in unattended."

"Relax, their our friends." assured Sora with a smile as he walked into the courtyard.

Shrugging, Riku, Donald, Goofy, Kairi, and Mickey followed suit, the latter closing the gates.

"Gawrsh, this place is still as I can remember it. A-hyuck!" chuckled Goofy.

"Yeah." agreed Donald. "I wonder where the others are." he then wondered out loud.

"Probably training." shrugged Mickey.

Sora chuckled. "Yeah. Even the hardcore need training." he nodded in agreement.

But before they could walk to the training hall, they heard voices coming from the students barracks.

"29..."

BANG!

"30..."

BANG!

"Gawrsh, what's going on?!" asked Goofy, concerned.

"Let's find out!" said Sora with determination.

Nodding in agreement, the group followed Sora to the barracks.

Inside, Sora and Co. heard the noises coming from the kitchen/dining room.

"33..."

BANG!

"Stop him!" came Mantis' voice.

As the noises continued, Sora motioned his friends to follow him quietly. Nodding, the six did so.

"34..." BANG! "It's too dangerous!" Mantis shouted again. "35..."

BANG!

"Stay focused!" came Tigress' voice.

"36..."

BANG!

"37.."

BANG!

We see the Furious Five at last, staring in awe and fear at something in front of them.

"How is he doing that with his face?!" exclaimed Mantis.

As soon as Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy entered, they saw Po and the Furious Five 4-5 feet away from them around the table, but nothing seemed wrong. To their confusion and surprise, they saw Po placing a bean bun in his mouth... which was already full of thirty-seven other bean buns.

After putting in the bean bun, he smashed his fist on the table with a BANG!

"Thirty-eight bean buns!" exclaimed Po triumphantly, with his mouth full.

The Five cheered as Viper seemed to faint from shock, but got up again.

"Yes! New record! You monster!" exclaimed Mantis in awe.

Sora and Co. just blinked in confusion.

"What the actual...?" exclaimed Riku, quietly.

"Shh... Let's see where this goes." whispered Sora, snickering.

Donald and Goofy quietly snickered too.

Shrugging, Kairi, Riku, and Mickey watched along with their friends.

"Keep going! Hit forty!" exclaimed Monkey, holding out a plate of bean buns.

"He'll never hit forty!" protested Crane.

"You got it, buddy! I'll put it up to forty!" said Po, mouth still full, grabbing to buns with his chopsticks.

"Do it!" said Tigress, encouragement in her tough tone.

'Huh, and I thought Tigress wasn't one for childish acts. Guess Po softened her up or something.' Sora thought to himself with a smile on his face.

"No problem!" said Po.

He then put the two bean buns in his mouth and tried to close his mouth. He struggled. The Five, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Kairi, and even Riku and Mickey watched in silent awe.

"Yeah...Yeah! One moment..." said Po.

In mere seconds, Po succeeded as he closed his mouth, all 40 bean buns in it. He then stuck his paws up in the air and began cheering, as the Five cheered along with him. Sora and his friends all smiled at the victory.

"Well done, Po!" cheered Crane as he slapped Po on the back in congratulations, causing Po to spit the bean buns back at the Five.

Monkey and Mantis were hit, while Viper ducked and Tigress blocked two of the buns. Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald, Goofy, and Mickey cringed in disgust.

"Your training has paid off." Tigress smirked.

Sora motioned for Donald and Goofy to follow him as they stopped in halfway in the space between Riku, Kairi, and Mickey, and the cheering kung fu masters. He then smirked before speaking out loud.

"I guess even the hardcore like to have fun." he said out loud in a teasing tone.

Po and the Five jumped in surprise and turned around in shock to see Sora, Donald, and Goofy looking at them with smirks across their faces.

"Sora! Donald! Goofy!" exclaimed Po happily as he and the Five rushed up to them and hugged them.

"A-hyuck! Hiya fellers!" chuckled Goofy.

"It's so great to see you guys again!" said Viper giddily.

"It's been too long." said Tigress with a smile.

"You guys haven't changed a bit!" chuckled Monkey.

"Gawrsh, well neither have you." said Goofy.

"True." agreed Tigress before looking at them suspiciously. "How did you get in here?"

"The door was open." said Donald.

"I meant through the gates." deadpanned the feline kung fu warrior.

"Oh! It was unlocked." answered Sora.

The Five turned to Po with raised eyebrows. Po sheepishly chuckled.

"Uh... my bad. I musta forgot to lock it." he muttered, embarrassed.

Tigress, Monkey, and Crane rolled their eyes before the latter noticed Riku, Kairi, and Mickey watching them.

"Who're they?" asked Crane.

"Oh right!" exclaimed Sora. He motioned for this friends to come forwards. The obliged. "Guys, meet our friends from this world; the Dragon Warrior, Po Ping, and the Furious Five: Masters Tigress, Viper, Crane, Monkey, and Mantis." He then turned to the residents of the Jade Palace. "Guys, meet our friends: my best friends from the islands, Riku and Kairi, and his majesty of Disney Castle, King Mickey."

"So you're their friends." murmured Po.

"Finally nice to meet you guys." smiled Viper.

"Likewise." agreed Riku with a smile.

"Wait, hold the bow-staff. Did Sora just say Mickey's a king?" asked Mantis.

"Yep." nodded Sora.

Gasping in shock, Po and the Five immediately bowed before King Mickey.

"Your Majesty, it is an honor to have you here." said Tigress.

Mickey chuckled. "Thanks fellas. You can get up now."

They did so as Po asked, "You guys hungry? I'd be happy to make you some of my dad's noodles."

Like the time Mr. Ping asked Sora, Donald, and Goofy that last year, theirs, Kairi's, Riku's, and Mickey's stomach's growled. The six friends blushed and smiled sheepishly.

Po chuckled. "I'll take that as a yes."

Everyone else laughed, as Tigress only smirked as Po got ready to make his old and new friends noodles.

Meanwhile, in the World That Never Was, Ansem, Xemnas, Xigbar, Saïx, and Young Xehanort were watching everything in the throne room through a magic orb while sitting in their respective thrones. The five had their Organization cloaks on.

"So they have returned to the world where the warriors of kung fu caught your interest." murmured Ansem to Xemnas.

"So you gonna try to pull of that scheme again?' asked Xigbar with a smirk.

"No." replied Xemnas. "Those warriors may have such pureness in their hearts, but will only interfere and be a problem with us."

"Indeed." nodded Saïx. "Though there is still hope to cast this world to such darkness in our liking."

"Yes. Lord Shen is a good candidate and a useful ally on our sides." nodded Young Xehanort. "It is time we send the Heartless in."

The orb disappeared to reveal Maleficent and Pete underneath it. Young Xehanort looked down at them from his throne.

"Maleficent, send in the Heartless." ordered Young Xehanort.

"Of course." replied the evil fairy with an evil grin as she disappeared through a corridor of darkness.

"Pete, tell the other chosen members to be ready." Young Xehanort said to the cat.

"Sure thing!" saluted Pete as he scurried after Maleficent in the corridor.

"Remind me again why those two are teamed up with us." said Xigbar. "I thought they were enemies with us. And after all, Master Xehanort was the one who manipulated the witch three years ago."

"Yes, but both Maleficent and Master Xehanort want to cast the worlds to darkness." explained Saïx. "But their plans keep on being interfered by Sora and his friends. So, they decided to team up, as both realized that they both can't get what they want unless they work together."

"And with Maleficent knowing several villains across the worlds like Shen, it'll be helpful for all of us." added Ansem.

"And once the Keyblade war commences, Sora and the other Guardians of Light won't see it coming." concluded Xemnas. He then smirked. "If they get all their lights. Otherwise, we'll have to go the alternate route." he added.

"Yes. Even though we as well don't have enough to fill in our ranks, that's where Maleficent and her old friend Magica come in." added Young Xehanort. "Yet another good reason for this team up."

The five members of Master Xehanort's organization all smirked as they teleported away. Things were about to get interesting in the Valley of Peace.

To be continued...

Shorter I know. But I promise I'll add more soon. I also wanted to get the reason for Maleficent and Master Xehanort teaming up out of the way.

For now, see you soon! Don't forget to rate and review!
