'The audience will be grateful for your efforts!' the Music Fish said as Sora, Alice, Donald and Goofy returned. Now the area where they first met Music Fish was overflowing with music off-beat and off-tune: music notes were literally pouring out of the tubes and filling the air with terrible music.
Alice raised an eyebrow. 'I doubt it.'
'Unless they're deaf like Music Fish.' Donald whispered to Goofy who sniggered.
'The performers' meagre efforts will be enhanced by my musical score!' Music Fish continued. 'Please wake them with this exciting news!'
A path was opened and Music Fish drifted away: probably to the theatre.
'I really doubt the performers will be excited about the music than the audience.' Alice commented dryly.
'Stop being so pessimistic!' Sora said. 'There's a hero in the story, an excellent drum beats and dancers! How can that be so wrong?'
Alice turned to Donald, her eyebrow raised. 'He failed in drama and acting class.' Donald told her.
Alice nodded in understanding and walked through the path, followed by Sora, Donald and Goofy. They entered another area where there were beds in rows and on the beds were oysters shells. Strangely, the party could hear soft snoring coming from the oysters.
'So…' Sora asked. 'Does anybody knows how to wake oysters?'
'Assume it's the same way as waking up a person.' Alice said. 'The questions is, how to do it? Those shells probably snuffed their ears from any noise and we can't simply splash water to wake them up since we're underwater.'
'How about that?' Goofy said as he pointed at something that was hanging onto a pole. It was a golden bell.
Alice frowned. 'Worth a shot.'
Sora grabbed a piece of driftwood on the seabed and placing it in the bell, started ringing the bell loudly. Soon, the oysters' shells opened and feminine creatures that were obviously the insides of the oysters started yawning and stretching. The creatures started floating upwards and headed straight towards the theatre. The party looked up as the last of the dancers swam from their beds and towards the direction of the theatre.
Sora smiled. 'That was easy! Come, let's get to the theatre before the shows starts!'
Alice nodded. 'Sure.'
The party had not gone far when suddenly, Alice clutched her head and fell onto her knees: grunting in pain. Sora fell next to her.
'Alice!' Sora cried. 'Are you all right?'
Alice then screamed and, despite being underwater, flames erupted around them and the entire environment transformed. The party found themselves in a lavished room with Persian carpets on the wooden floors and beautiful furniture such as antique tables and armchairs made from the finest silk. Expensive paintings hung on the wall and glass cabinets containing china and tea sets. In the fireplace, there was a large piece of timber when suddenly: it burst into flames.
'I was the last one in the library, the night of the fire.' Alice intoned. 'The log I added to the grate was dead when I went upstairs to bed with Dinah. If it wasn't, I maybe responsible for my family's deaths.'
The fires died down and they were back underwater. Alice shook her head as Sora helped her up onto her feet. Alice looked at Sora, a horrified look on her place.
'I'm a murderer.' She whispered.
Sora shook her by the shoulders. 'Alice, no! It's not your fault! Even if the log was still burning, it could never reach upstairs: especially if the library was reinforced.'
Alice looked at Sora, hope in her eyes. 'You're right! The fire couldn't reach upstairs: there were no flammable substances near the fireplace and the windows weren't opened so no wind could have blown any sparks on the carpet. But Sora,' she looked desperately at Sora. 'If it was my fault, then I…'
Sora looked at Donald for help but he could only shrugged. Then Sora turned to Goofy for help. Goofy just scratched his head and said. 'Why not we go to Carpenter's show? Maybe that will get Alice's mind off fire and houses.'
Before Donald could contradict him, Alice nodded slowly. 'Good thinking Goofy, maybe the play will help forget the hell that I'm going through.'
Alice continued walking while Donald and Sora looked at each other nervously. Goofy got between them. 'Cheer up fellows! Look, there's a bridge that lead directly back to the Dreary Lane Theatre!'
Sora and Donald, seeing no other way, joined Alice while Goofy was whistling a tune but just as they were about to step onto the bridge: something knocked into it and destroyed the bridge. At a closer look, the group were shock it was Carpenter riding on Walrus: floating just above them.
Alice stepped forward. 'My gosh; you're no impresario, you're a killer! The mastermind of a criminal enterprise!'
Carpenter shrugged. 'The world is not either/or Alice.'
'We did all those things for you!' Sora shouted angrily at Carpenter.
Carpenter shrugged again, infuriating Sora. 'You did a few errands, got your hands dirty. Big deal. The show's distrac-ulates the crowd. A shame you'll all will miss it. You need to deal with these sailors. It's your time.'
'Time?' Walrus suddenly asked. 'Time? The time has come to talk of ships and eh, eh, and vegetables and royalty and eh, and whether pigs have wings and so on.'
The group looked at each other in confusion. Goofy scratched his head. 'Is he referring to those flying pig snouts we encountered?'
'Enough of that Walrus!' the Carpenter cried. 'You start wailing about there being too much sand on the beach, I'll have your blubber for breakfast!'
'Shame on you Carpenter!' Alice admonished him. 'You made a promise!'
'And promises are meant to be kept!' Sora cried back.
'I had no choice.' The Carpenter said a bit apologetic. 'One can't always do as one would like. I would have thought you'd know that by now.'
With a mocking bow, Carpenter and Walrus swam away: leaving the group behind.
'You were right.' Sora told Alice. 'We should had never trusted the Carpenter.'
Alice nodded then Donald started looking around nervously. 'Erm… Guys? I don't know whether you noticed but we're standing in a graveyard.'
Everybody looked around and Donald was right: they were surrounded with tombstones made from marbles and covered in seaweed. Worst, they could hear moaning and howling getting closer to them and they could have sworn that they could see lights appearing and disappearing. Strangely, they could hear something like a sea shanty in the air: something that only sailors would sing.
'Carpenter did say something about sailors.' Alice muttered and took out her Vorpal Blade.
Sora nudged Donald. 'Donald, you're a sailor. Maybe… They will see you as a friend and won't attack us?'
Donald looked at Sora doubtfully. 'Sora, there is a difference: I'm alive, these guys are dead.'
'There's one of them now!' Goofy cried, pointing at two floating bombs being lighted up. 'It's going to blow!'
'I got this!' Donald cried and pointed his wand at the two floating bombs. 'Firaga!'
Fire shot out of his wand and ignited the two bombs: causing an explosion. When the dust settled, a ghostly sailor was sitting on the seabed: in a dazed. Alice approached it grimly. Sora reached out for her.
'Alice, he's a ghost. I don't think…' Alice sliced the ghost's head off, making it toppled onto the seabed. 'You can kill it.'
Alice looked at Sora meaningfully. 'In Wonderland, anything is possible. If you can explode those bombs in their hands, it will reveal them.'
'There's another one!' Goofy cried. Sora was ready this time.
'Firaga!'
Fire shot out from his key-blade and another explosion occurred: revealing another sailor, sitting in a daze. Alice made short work of it as Donald and Sora cast "Firaga" at any floating bombs they spotted while Alice and Goofy take care of dazed sailors. Although they were fending off the Drowned Sailors well, there were too many of them. The group were going to continue fighting when a loud voice stopped them.
'STOP! Please, do not harm anymore of my crew!' the group lowered their weapons as a Drowned Sailor wearing a captain hat approached them: the other Drowned Sailors no longer attacking them. 'Please, help me fulfil my pledge! I need my men! They maybe hostile at first but their true souls are trapped. Released them and they will bother you no more.'
Alice put away the Vorpal Blade. 'Do they desire peace?'
The Drowned Captain shook his head sadly. 'They do not know their own minds. What's true of the living is often true of the dead. This way.'
The Drowned Captain led the group deeper into the cemetery until they stopped in front of three giant crypts made from marbles. Even without magic, they could feel an ominous aura coming from them.
'My remaining crew are entombed into these crypts.' The Drowned Captain explained. 'They wish to be free from such a confinement. Please, release them and end their suffering.'
'Mmmmmm…' Alice demurred. 'I'm not too sure how to do this: my family barely go to the graveyard and I'm no exorcist.'
'Maybe the Light can do something.' Sora suggested and pulled out Kingdom Key. He stood in front of the crypts and closed his eyes. He raised Kingdom Key into the air and then, Light resonated from the key-blade and its radiant waves hit the crypts gently before the crypts were surrounded with bright light. When the light died down, Sora opened his eyes in time to see the ghosts of Drowned Sailors leaving the crypts: giving thanks to Sora.
'My thanks...'
'I never thought of getting out of there… Thank you…'
'You save us… Thank you…'
The ghosts joined The Drowned Captain who floated to the group. 'Many thanks Sora, Alice, Donald and Goofy: be as good yourself as you've been to us. There, that path should lead you back to the Dreary Lane Theatre.'
The Drowned Captain pointed and an iron gate swung wide opened. The Drowned Captain led his crew after waving their farewells to the group. 'Come on lads! Hoist the sail and haul that anchor! It's the wide and glorious main for us!'
The Drowned Captain and his crew vanished as Alice, Sora, Donald and Goofy followed after them: waving their goodbyes. Donald quacked.
'I hope we see each other in the high seas one day!'
'Come on!' Sora said impatiently. 'Let's get back to the theatre so I can beat that carpenter!'
Alice raised an eyebrow at him. 'That's not like you Sora.'
Sora stopped being angry and grinned. 'Maybe you're such a bad influence on me.'
Then to everybody's surprise, Alice started giggling. She then slapped Sora on the arm. 'Oh you!'
Sora started laughing alongside with her until Donald, wearing a worried expression, interrupted. 'We better get to the theatre before it's too late.'
Alice stopped laughing and became serious again. 'You're right, come on!'
Alice. Sora, Donald and Goofy ran along the path and within a few minutes, could see the Dreary Lane Theatre but instead of entering from the front, they entered from the back. Before they could continue on, a foul odour reached their noses: repulsing them.
'Urgh!' Sora gasped. 'What is that? It's smell likes somebody died!'
'It's smell even worst than the butchers in London Town.' Alice said while pinching her nose.
'How are we even smelling underwater?' Donald almost choked on the stench.
Goofy coughed and he narrowed he eyes towards the direction of where the smell was coming from. He gulped. 'Erm… Guys? You may not want to look at this…'
Despite herself, Alice walked past Goofy and Sora, Donald and Goofy followed her: almost bumping into her when she stopped abruptly. They looked up to see what was stopping her and their hearts almost stopped at the sight before them.
'By the light…' Sora whispered.
Before them were piles of bloody corpses of fish people that they encountered at Barrel Bottoms: all of them cruelly butchered. Some were naked; some still have their clothes on but were covered in gore. Their eyes, yellow and protruding, were still open: staring lifelessly and their last sights were probably their murderers and their raised weapons. It was a massacre.
To their astonished horror, one of them was suspended in the air by an anchor shaped in a crucifix: the poor creature tied to it. It has a head of a nautilus but a body of a man: covered in blue tailcoat, black pants and brown shoes with a black top hat on its head. There was a hacksaw lodged into its head and its right eye was slashed. He also wore a sash around his body that said "Mayor" in bright yellow words. Amazingly, the Mayor was still alive as he was still breathing and moaning in agony.
Instantly, Goofy threw his shield like a Frisbee and the shield cut the crucifix from the ceiling: the crucifix falling down onto the seabed with the mayor tied to him. Alice, Sora and Donald quickly untied the mayor from the crucifix and Goofy gently removed the saw from his head while Donald healed his wound: too slowly.
'What happened?' Sora asked the Mayor. 'Who did this to you?'
Breathing heavily, the Mayor rasped. 'The… C-Carpenter… And the… W-Walrus… T-they s-slaughtered… Everyone who comes… To their s-show… Y-you must… S-stop them… S-save them…'
The Mayor gasped and fell silent, his good eye staring lifelessly and his body stopped moving: obviously dead. The group stood in silent and Donald stopped healing the wound and shook his head slowly. Sora laid the Mayor on the seabed and took out his Key-blade: a grim look on his face.
'They're going to pay for this!' he growled.
Alice nodded and took out the Vorpal Blade while Donald and Goofy took out their weapons as well. They quickly walked past the pile of corpses and were soon in the lavish theatre: darkened now, as the group knew its menacing secret. They quickly walked through the corridors and on the way to the concert hall, they met the Octopus and the Music Fish who were standing idly: a bottle of ale in the Octopus' tentacles and Music Fish sipping brandy through a straw. The group briefly greeted them before entering the theatre hall: now filled with hundreds of Fish people who were staring at the stage.
Sora, seeing that a confrontation was to soon, made Kingdom Key disappeared. 'Now what?'
Alice also put the Vorpal Blade back into her apron and Donald and Goofy did the same thing. 'For now, we can try to watch this abomination the Carpenter had created and act before he could do any harm to this people.'
Sora nodded and Alice led him, Donald and Goofy to the front row where they sat down. No sooner had they had time to settle in, the Carpenter appeared on stage: throwing a dramatic arm.
'Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the shoooooow!'
The audience clapped loudly as Carpenter stepped off the stage and the curtains drew up: the oyster starlets dancing onto the stage. The Carpenter sat next to Alice and clapped softly with a grin on his face. Despite the massacre they just witnessed, Alice looked at the Carpenter curiously.
'Rather bizarre show.' She commented.
Even Sora had forgotten what had transpired a few minutes ago. 'Oh come on!' he said impatiently. 'When is the hero coming out?'
Hearing his question, the Carpenter grinned. 'Right about… Now.'
The main dancer, an oyster starlet dressed in red ribbons, started prancing and twirling in the middle of the stage: capturing the eyes of everyone in the audience. Then like a rock being dropped into a pond, Walrus fell out from nowhere and squashed the main star under him: killing her instantly. He wore a mask that was shaped as a skull and in under his right fin was scythe: resembling Death.
As the oyster starlets shrieked and stood there traumatized, Walrus rumbled. 'That's quite enough of that I think! That's enough preliminaries! Here's the performance you've been waiting for proves I am without prejudice and have a fine sense of humour.'
Walrus grabbed hold of one of the oyster starlets and threw her into the air and with one gulp, chomped her with his tusk and ate her: blood spilling out of his mouth and eating the oyster starlet alive. He swung his scythe, impaling another to it, and began reciting a poem in a gruff voice: befitting Death.
'Swords and crowns are useless here,
I invite everyone to dance
Labourers, lawyers, church and gown
All make their little prance.
This life is full of random death
And heaps of grief and shame,
So few are soothed by "accident"
You want someone to blame.
Fire, plague, or strange disease,
Drowned, murdered or, if you please,
A long fall down the basement stairs
None are expected, no one cares.
I often work very hard
Sweat running down my skin,
After the dance I then must rest,
And the eating can begin.'
As he was reciting the poem, he was swinging the scythe about, slicing the oyster starlets in half and devouring them with great gusto: either swallowing them in one piece or chewing on their bloody flesh. Soon, all that was left of the dance troupe were limbs being chewed on and dresses being torn to bits: the entire stage covered in blood. The Walrus, its lips and tusks covered in blood, turned his greedy face on the scared audience.
'Time to eat!' he cried in gluttonous glee. 'Death is the ultimate equalizer! All have the right to be eaten!'
The crowd screamed and took off: shoving their chairs aside in an attempt to escape from this hell. To their horror, the main door that led them in was blocked off: unable to open. The Fish people screamed in terror as Walrus waded them in and started killing them. The Carpenter jumped from his chair and started laughing loudly among the shouting and chaos.
'Get in lines creatures!' he cried. 'All will be served, so to speak!'
Alice and Sora also jumped from their seats, Alice pointing an accusing finger at Carpenter. 'Wicked thing! Feasting while Wonderland is destroyed!'
Sora stepped next to Alice, key-blade in hands. 'I hope you said your prayers pal.' Sora growled. 'Because it's time to meet your maker!'
The Carpenter put his hands forward dramatically. 'I'm not the enemy you seek!' he cried. 'I tried to hide this bit of Wonderland from that beast!'
Alice raised her eyebrow. 'Are you refereeing to that train? It seems you're doing a horrible job: killing people is not the answer.'
The Carpenter shrugged as Walrus continued to slaughter the audience. 'Appeasement is never clean. We must all play our assigned roles. Are you a pawn or a queen? An idiot or a practiced fool? However this turns out, consider the prospect that you have been misled, Alice. Then asked, by whom?'
Sora stepped forward, growling. 'Dude, you have ten seconds to make sense of what you're saying before I rammed my key-blade into you!'
Before the Carpenter could say anymore, the main door exploded: killing more fish people. When the dust settled, the group were shocked that a train was rushing towards them: knocking people out of the way and tearing down the theatre.
'Quack!' Donald cried. 'How's a train still running underwater?'
'Oh no!' Alice gasped. 'Who set that bloody train in motion? Where's it coming from?'
'It arrived when you arrived!' the Carpenter answered. 'And it's more horrible ever then you can currently imagine! The death of a dream! Caterpillar may know how!' the Carpenter jumped and placed himself between the train and the group. 'Go! Find Caterpillar before it's too late!'
Sora and Alice looked at each other in confusion: first Carpenter abandoned them to be killed by ghosts and slaughtered almost half the population of Barrel Bottom. And now he was risking his life for them? What was going on?
Before they could say or do anything, the train hit Carpenter and there was a loud crash and blinding light: Sora felt he was being knocked off his feet and he knew no more.
When Sora woke up, his first sight was grey sky and snowflakes floating down on him. Sora sat up straight and found himself lying on the snow: the cold slowly seeping into his body and Sora shivered at it. To his relief, Donald and Goofy were also on the snow, slowly waking up and shivering at the cold. Sora, Donald and Goofy slowly stood up to survey their surroundings properly. They found themselves in a street with dark grey buildings closing in on them: their roofs covered in snow. Despite knowing that they were in a city, the group found it disturbing that it was not only too quiet but there were no one present except for them.
'Where are we?' Sora asked, mentally looking around for Alice.
'Hey guys!' Goofy cried. 'Isn't that the Big Ben over there?'
Sora and Donald looked to where Goofy was pointing to and he was right, Sora and Donald were looking at the Big Ben: a landmark that can only be found in London, England.
'This must be London!' Sora exclaimed.
'A-hyuk!' Goofy said. 'This reminded me of that time when we met Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy and her two brothers!'
'But the question is', Donald asked. 'Are we in the real world or are we still in Alice's mind?'
'We're back in Wonderland, I just got back from the real world.'
Sora, Donald and Goofy looked at where the voice came from: it was Alice coming out from a run-down house. Alice looked around as Sora, Donald and Goofy joined her. 'I've seen London Town worst than this but at least there were still people around.'
'Are you okay, Alice?' Sora asked, concerned for her. 'Where did you go?'
Alice shrugged. 'Besides losing my mind or the frequent headaches, I'm just fine. I just met my lawyer… Or so I thought… He was holding my Rabbit and asked him about the fire. He told me it was my cat, Dinah, who started the fire. I was so angry that I wanted to rip his head off… I'm not too sure if I did…'
Sora held her hands, ignoring the frown from Donald. 'Say no more. You're thinking too much. Let's try to find the real answer before blaming yourself or anyone else.'
Alice nodded and smiled. 'You're right. Sorry, I was hoping for a better hallucination to hide all those painful memories…'
'Erm…' Donald said, looking troubled. 'I doubt you will be getting it here because I think I see and smell something burning… And I think the train is back…'
Alice and Sora quickly ran past Donald: followed by Goofy and then Donald. They pass streets, corners and alleyways: careful not to slip on the icy path. Their feet trudged heavily against the snow until the path was cleared from snow and the city became more chaotic and ominous. The sky turned from dark grey to fiery red as flaming rocks flew from all directions and explosions occurred all of the time. Fire and lava erupted everywhere. In the sky was a swirling maelstrom that spewed out rocks and other rubble down onto the ground.
As the group walked deeper into this hell-hole, they saw the same train at the Mad Hatter's Domain: flying through the air breathing toxic black smokes and making such a hellish din. The train passed through them, continuing to make such a hellish sounds until it became quiet: the sounds of eruptions and spewing still going on.
'This bloody ruin!' Alice gasped in horror. 'It's corrupted nearly all of Wonderland!'
The Cheshire cat appeared before them. 'Seeking refuge from the wicked world?' he asked with a grin. 'Perhaps things look like they've gone to hell.'
'We get it already!' Sora said in annoyance. 'We know what is going around here! We're not that stupid!'
'Some good news is always nice.' Donald commented.
'This unmitigated disaster is Alice doing, and it will get worse.' The Cheshire cat continued. 'Your train keeps a hellish schedule. Get moving. Time waits for no one. The change has begun.'
'Now hold on a second!' Sora snapped. 'Will you stop blaming Alice for everything? How is this Alice's doing and what does that train has anything to do with Alice?'
The Cheshire shrugged and with a grin, disappeared: leaving Sora fuming. 'That cat was no help at all!'
'Now you know how I feel.' Alice said. 'But Sora… Maybe he was telling the truth. Maybe… I may have indirectly brought this train into Wonderland…'
'Let's not jump to conclusion.' Sora assured Alice. 'Once we find Caterpillar, maybe he could tell us more.'
Alice smiled but became serious again. 'If we can get out of this hell-hole…'
'Guys!' Goofy suddenly said. 'We got company…'
The group were on their guard as black substances seeped out from the ground and surrounded them: forming into a dozen Insidious Ruins and two Menacing Ruins. As the Ruins closed in on them, the group readied their weapons: ready to fight. The two Menacing Ruins flung fireballs at them and Alice and Sora deflected them back with the Umbrella and Kingdom Key respectively while Donald and Goofy took care of the Insidious Ruins: Donald blasting spells on them and Goofy ramming them with shields. With their white arms shattered, the Menacing Ruins roared and charged forward: knocking some of the Insidious Ruins out of the way in order to reach Alice and Sora.
Sora dodge rolled out of the way as Alice turned into butterflies and flew out of harm's way, causing the two Menacing Ruins to slam into each other: making them howled in agony and a white face from their black bodies rolled away onto the ground. Alice pulled out the Hobby Horse from her apron and with a sideway swing, she knocked another face from the Menacing Ruin before smashing the last face in a downward swing: making the body explode into black substance and seeping into the ground. Sora knocked a fireball back at the last Menacing Ruin and sprinting forward, slashed both faces in quick succession: the Menacing Ruin screaming horribly before melting into it liquid form. While Alice and Sora were handling the Menacing Ruins, Donald and Goofy were finishing the last of the Insidious Ruins: Donald melting one with a fire spells while Goofy uppercut another one with his shield.
Soon, the group was freed from enemies and the ground was covered in black substance: making their feet sticky. They withdrew their weapons and Alice looked around the chaos and destruction around her.
'So…' Alice said hopelessly. 'They're no hope left…'
'Only if you lack the courage.' A voice suddenly boomed throughout the air: everyone hearing it. 'All is not lost if you believe in yourself and those around. Take a step forward and find me. Your answers await you there.'
Everybody looked around, wondering where the voice came from.
'Isn't that…' Sora said in wonder.
'Caterpillar!' Alice confirmed, hope filling her once again.
'But where is he?' Donald cried as he could only see fire and flying rocks.
Goofy sniffed his nose and one of his floppy ears rose. He pointed at a direction. 'This way! I smell that nasty thing that Caterpillar always smoke!'
'It's called a hookah Goofy.' Donald said.
'Lead the way Goofy.' Alice said.
Goofy nodded and led his friends past rivers of lavas and falling rocks as they ran. Volcanic ashes floated from the sky like poisonous snowflakes and earthquakes threatened to knock them off their feet: natural disasters were not the only ones obstructing them. Drifting Ruins floated down towards them and shot out crystallised projectiles at them: making the group dodged and fight back. Alice took out her Pepper Grinder and she and Donald shot them down while Sora finished them off when they laid helplessly onto the ground. Finally, Goofy had led them to an entrance of a valley, which was sealed by the hardened black substance that was preventing Music Fish's instruments from playing.
'It's behind that thing!' Goofy pointed.
'Good work Goofy.' Sora panted as they all took a breather from their escape from destruction but before they could celebrate, the ground rumbled and a pool of the same black substance seeped from the ground: sprouting out like a fountain. It form another Ruin but bigger than the Menacing ruin with four white arms and a huge rectangular body made of the same black substance and white faces, supported by four white hands. On its back were steam pipes pouring out thick smokes as it roared at the group: forcing the group to take a step back.
'That's thing is huge!' Donald said.
'You know what the Cheshire cat said?' Alice said as she pulled out the Vorpal Blade. 'The bigger they are, the easier they fall!'
Sora looked at Alice, an eyebrow raised. 'I'm pretty sure that wasn't what the Cheshire cat said.'
Alice grimaced. 'Just work with me here.'
A hole opened at the top of the Ruin and it spat out a fireball: making the group to dodge the attack. The Ruin continued firing fireballs at the group as they scattered to make it difficult for the ruin to attack them. Goofy held his shield up and stood his ground as fireballs after fireballs barraged on his shield, making Goofy sliding backwards a bit at the impact, while Sora, Alice and Donald attacked the Ruin: slicing the white faces with their blades and Donald casting spells on it: trying to weaken it. However, the Ruin was still standing and more faces popped out from it body: the Ruin continuing its onslaught.
'This isn't good!' Sora said as he and Alice stepped back. 'This thing is too big for us! We need to bring out the big guns!'
Alice nodded and looked around the battlefield, Donald and Goofy still fighting the Ruin, when her eyes came upon something that you would not expect to find with so much fighting and destruction around you. It was lying on the ground sideway but it was still clean and new. It was made out of bronze with a handle, a cover and a long, wide spout. In the middle was a green clock with two black hands pointing the time.
It was a big bronze teapot.
