Chapter 7
Woody and Stitch turned around to see the sorcerer, Yen Sid behind them. "This diorama is a very important artifact," he said. "What's so important about it?" Woody asked. Yen Sid replied, "All you need to know for now, is that the safety of your friend Timber, and many others depends on this model staying out of harm's way." Yen Sid thought for a moment. "Woody, Stitch, I need you to do something for me."
The next stop on Timber and Oswald's tour to clear out the beetleworx took them to a jungle like area called, Ventureland. Timber and Oswald journeyed through the jungle looking for the beetleworx generator. "The Mad Doctor is nothing if not predictable," Oswald said, "He's most likely to have set up his generator for this area on Skull Island."
Suddenly, the two came upon a sea of robots. "Man, that thing must be working overtime!' Timber said. "We can't take on all of these beetleworx on our own," Oswald said as the robots aimed their thinner canons at him and Timber. But before any of them could fire, some sort of brown blur came from the trees, quickly dispatching a number of beetleworx. The creature stopped in front of Timber and Oswald to reveal that it was a torn up lion that was half robot.
"Kopa!" Oswald exclaimed. The lion turned to Timber and Oswald and used his mouth to throw them onto his back. Then, he took off, running through a projector screen that lead to the main village. "Whew, we're safe," the lion said, letting Timber and Oswald off his back. "Kopa! I can't believe you're still alive," Oswald said, giving the lion a hug. "It's good to see you too Oswald," Kopa said, hugging him back. "Kopa, Kopa," Timber said searching his memory. "Now I remember! You were originally going to be Simba's child right?" "Yeah…" Kopa said disappointed.
"Oswald looked over Kopa and asked, "What happened to you?" "Isn't it obvious?" Kopa said, "The Mad Doctor happened. When he returned, I was one of his first tries to turn a toon into a beetleworx. I managed, to escape, but I was left like this." Kopa showed Timber and Oswald a hole in his side that revealed gears, and other mechanical workings. "That's awful," Timber said, "Well, that leaves only one thing to do now." On that, Timber started heading back towards the projector screen. "Wait a sec," Kopa said, blocking Timber's path, "You're not going back out to the jungle are you?" "Yes, I am. We have to stop that machine. Who knows what will happen if we just leave it there." "Timber's right," Oswald said, "We need to stop that army before it gets any bigger."
Before stepping through the projector screen, Oswald said, "Ya coming Kopa?" "Are you kidding? It's far too dangerous out there," Kopa said, "I'd rather stay here in the village where it's safe." "Don't tell me you're scared of those beetleworx," Timber said. "Yes I am," Kopa responded. "You know, "Timber said, "I remember reading that you wanted to be a fearless leader. You would jump into action no matter how dangerous it was. What happened to that?" "This happened," Kopa said, referring to mechanical parts, "My experiences have taught me that danger isn't worth getting into! That I should listen to my fear, and do the smart thing!" "Then tell me, whe you saved me and Oswald, were you listening to your fear then?" Timber asked. Kopa fell silent as Timber and Oswald continued through the projector screen.
