Sora's party descended the Hollywood Tower Hotel via the hotel's service elevator, Vivi didn't want a repeat of what happened on Day 1. In the lobby of the hotel, several characters were gathered trying to keep calm in all the chaos that ensued from the villainous takeover.

Cid, frustrated that he couldn't make announcement, pulled out a starter pistol and shot skyward. The bang resonated in the lobby and the characters calmed down. "Listen up, 'cause I'm only gonna say this once! Shit's hit the fan and it's all the fault of the villains out there! Look I know that the person that may have helped had a Keyblade, but he was tricked!"

"What makes you think that he wasn't acting the whole time?" said Wreck-it Ralph. "When those things attacked, they destroyed the arcade beyond repair, with Felix, the only man for the job, stuck in it without his hammer!" Ralph held up a golden framing hammer. Cid pulled out a chainsaw and revved it. "Because I said so!"

Cid told them that the party of Keyblade welders would head into the rest of the park restoring on the way. According to his calculations, much of the park would be restored with the exception of Bald Mountain and Vulture Rock. "If any of you are killed by those punks, I'll drag you back from hell and kill you again! You really want to piss off those SOBs, then why not try stayin' alive! That's what this war's all about! If you live, everybody behind you lives. If you die, they die! You got that? Now go kick some ass!" Lea, not wanting to risk his newfound body in this war, stayed behind with the rest of the group and the panicked characters.


Sora's party arrived at the iron gates of what used to be the Pixar Lands, now called the Forest of Fear. The gates opened on their own as if to say Enter if you dare. A blanket of fog enshrouded the party, as the voices of the LoD trio and Roxas were swallowed by an unseen force.

The fog started to thin and the three remaining girls, Riku, and Sora found themselves at a large wooden signpost pointing in many directions.

"It looks like we have no choice but to split up." said Sora. Sora headed into the thicker woods to find some members of the party, Riku headed towards a babbling brook that was situated in the forest, while the girls saw a large windmill and headed toward it.


After following the sound of the river, Riku thought he heard what sounded like laughter. "What could that be?"

Riku followed the sounds of the laughter deeper into forest and found a fog-enshrouded lake with a girl bathing in it. The girl's features looked familiar... Kairi!?

"Kairi," said Riku, "What's going on? I thought you were with Naminé and Xion."

Kairi looked at Riku and said "We got separated and I found this lake. Come on in! The water's fine!"

Something seemed off. The water was a deep purple color instead of a light blue that water normally is. The real kicker was coming from within Kairi.

"I don't think so."

Kairi looked shocked and then a devilish smile crept across her face. A burst of darkness enveloped her. When it subsided, Kairi was now completely black, save for her eyes which were now yellow with violet eyeshadow and her now dark pink pair. Kairi began to grow taller and curvier as her hair lengthened and her lips became more pronounced. A silver crown comprised of Heartless sigils appeared on her head as well as a queenly gown made of majenta material. "Kairi" was really a Heartless Princess! (For reference look up Da-Fuze's comission from MooMinded of Heartless Princess on deviantArt or Jackurai's flash Heartless Princess Kisses). The Princess giggled playfully and blew a kiss that reformed into a Scrapper Unversed.

Riku readied Way to the Dawn and began to fight wave after wave of Unversed before striking the Princess in the chest. She screamed in pain. "Why... Why didn't it work...?" she sadly asked. "When you spend a year or so in the darkness, you learn a lot on how to control and sense darkness." responded Riku as he turned away from the false Kairi. The Princess got down on her hands and knees and began sobbing, before fading away into the darkness whence she came from. The fog around Riku lifted, and he found Terra hanging upside-down from a cliff nearby.


The winds had started to pick up when the girls arrived at the Old Mill. Thunder rolled across the heavens and the lightning cracked, illuminating the side of the old mill. It started to pour.

"Great... Just great..." snarked Xion. The rain was hitting hard and her already black hair was turning even blacker than usual. The three girls went inside the mill and found to their surprise that there was a community of birds living inside, notably a pair of lovestruck pigeons, a barn owl, and a family of blue birds living in the bottom cog. Even though it was raining hard, the animals inside were still dry, if not shaken up by the storm.

All of the sudden, a roar of wind hit the mill, causing the cogs to start turning but were jammed by an old rope. The rope gave way thanks to the wear and tear applied to it.

"We need to save that bird!" shouted Kairi.

The three girls began to climb the cogs and scooped the mother bird and her nest out of the cog before it would have been smashed. As they saved the bird family, a large Unversed appeared. Thanks to her ties with Aqua, Kairi could recognize that they were being attacked by a Mad Treant. The Treant swung its branches in an attempt to bring harm to the girls and the mill. Kairi and Xion both brought out their Keyblades and began to shoot Fire spells at the Treant, causing it catch fire. The Treant started smoking and decided to throw Poison Apples. After enough hacking and slashing at the Treant, it rushed outdoors into the rain and it was struck by lightning reducing it to a pile of broken wood and rotten apples.

The lightning cracked again, this time striking the mill. The cogs stopped turning and the mill started to tilt on its side. The only ones not affected were the lovebirds. The barn owl was rudely awoken and slid off of his perch. While the mill tilted, the eggs hatched into a clutch of tiny bluebird chicks. It stopped storming, and the sound of rain was now replaced by the sound of an old hag's cackle. Right as rain, it was Witch Hazel flying on her broomstick with Aqua by her side.

"Is that a witch?" asked Xion. "I've read about them, and I hear that they can be dangerous."

"I'm not as dangerous as you have read, dearies," said Hazel. "And since thou dost beleiveth in witches, I shall help thee get out of this forest."

Hazel's broom extended to make room for the girls and she flew them to the entrance of the forest... but not before deciding to go on a bit of a joyride through the land formerly known as Pacific Wharf. She pulled out an insect sprayer and sprayed a fence post and it turned into a group of bedsheet ghosts.

"Hit it boys!"

It was the very witching time of night that Sora pursued the trail to find his friends. The hour was as dismal as himself. In the dead hush of midnight, he could even hear the barking of a wild dog from the opposite side of the woods, but it was so vague and faint as only to give an idea of his distance. Now and then, too, the long-drawn crowing of a cock, accidentally awakened, would sound far, far off, from some farmhouse away among the hills—but it was like a dreaming sound in his ear. No signs of life occurred near him, but occasionally the melancholy chirp of a cricket, or perhaps the guttural twang of a bullfrog from a neighboring marsh, as if sleeping uncomfortably and turning suddenly in his bed.

The night grew darker and darker; the stars seemed to sink deeper in the sky, and driving clouds occasionally hid them from his sight. He had never felt so lonely. Sora began whistling "its a small world." He thought his whistle was answered; it was but a blast sweeping sharply through the dry branches. As he approached a little nearer, he thought he saw something white, hanging in the midst of the tree: he paused and ceased whistling but, on looking more narrowly, perceived that it was a place where the tree had been scathed by lightning, and the white wood laid bare. Suddenly he heard a groan—his teeth chattered: it was but the rubbing of one huge bough upon another, as they were swayed about by the breeze. He passed the tree in safety, but new perils lay before him.

He began hearing noises saying his name, which turned out to be the sounds of crickets chirping. A frog began croaking what sounded like "Headless Horseman," before hopping into the water. The remaining wind from the storm that Kairi went through picked up making the reeds sound like ghosts.

"HERE HE COMES!"

It was an owl in the trees hooting. All at once the sounds came at him. In his fear, Sora ran and stumbled on a gravestone. A voice entered his head "Once you cross that bridge my friend, the ghost is through, his power ends." Sora then heard the sound of hoofbeats.

"Yahahahahahahha!"

Sora whirled around and was face to face with the Headless Horseman! The ghost was atop his nightmare holding a flaming pumpkin in his left hand and a broadsword in his right. Sora pulled out Ultima and began to run from the mounted ghoul. Sora ran through the forest dodging the ghoul's sword and nightmare. The trees began to part and Sora saw a covered bridge. Sora remembered the voice and dashed down the bridge, the Horseman stopped in his tracks and reared his horse. Sora turned around and saw the Horseman rising in his stirrups, and in the very act of hurling his head at him. Sora blocked the pumpkin and it bounced off of the Keyblade and went back to the ghoul, engulfing him in fire.

Five minutes after the fire died down, Sora heard the sound of the twins, all muffled up from what ever happened earlier. Sure enough, Roxas and Ven were underneath the bridge all tied up with what seemed to be chains of ectoplasm. Sora pulled his blonde-haired buds out of the chains and helped them out of the woods.

Just then, they saw it: an old emaciated skeleton wearing Colonial-era clothes was on the side of the path, his skull had been fractured and smelled of pumpkin-pulp.

Here lies Ichabod Crane
Spirited away by the Headless Horseman
31 October, 1820

In the hand of Ichabod was a crystal much like the one on Kefka's Tower. Sora activated it and the woods and haunted carnival began to revert back to their original forms.


The party regrouped at Carthay Circle. They had to have an idea on what to do now. Either they take on Sephiroth with their small party or head to the Dark Kingdom to buildup their party. Once again it was a heads or tails vote. Tina flipped the coin and it landed on heads: They go to the Dark Kingdom. Upon closer inspection, the flip was rigged. Tina had a coin from her friends, the Figaro brothers.
