* Doctor Stephen Strange {Doctor Strange (2016)}- A sorcerer from another dimension who now makes his home in Ansem the Wise's old mansion. In his past, he was an arrogant surgeon whose career was uprooted when he was injured in a dangerous crash until he learned the power of the Mystic Arts and took the path of the Sorcerer Supreme.

At this bistro, he has been using ingredients from other worlds to further his culinary talents.

* Colette Tatou {Ratatouille (2007)}- A free-spirited woman who was one of the most talented chefs in Remy's old restaurant. She may appear cold and distant, but that is only to mask the passion she has for the culinary arts.

* Vivi {Final Fantasy IX (2000)}- A small boy who's proficient in magic and is part of Seifer's posse: the Disciplinary Committee.

* Serah Farron {Final Fantasy XIII (2010)}- A girl in Twilight Town who is impulsive but well-meaning as she faces trouble head on. She says she is looking for her sister Lightning, who according to her, vanished without a trace one day.

* Ignis Scientia {Final Fantasy XV (2016)}- A young man in Twilight Town who works at Scrooge's bistro, Ignis has a flair for creating incredible meals and is also a tactical genius in the battlefield, in due part to his calm and collected compsure in the heat of the action.

* Webby Vanderquack {Ducktales (1987)}- A close friend of Huey, Dewey and Louie who is a bit of a tomboy and craves adventure. She has a great admiration for Donald Duck's reputation as the court wizard for King Mickey, and helps the boys run a gummi block shop.

* Ansem- A member of the real Organization XIII. This is Xehanort's Heartless. He was able to regain his original appearance by possessing Riku. In the past, Ansem attempted to open the door to Kingdom Hearts, but was destroyed by Sora and friends before he could succeed. Despite this, Ansem has returned.

* Xemnas- A member of the real Organization XIII. This is Xehanort's Nobody. In the past, he tried to create an artificial Kingdom Hearts from the hearts of people, but Sora and Riku put an end to his plans and Xemnas himself. Despite this, Xemnas has returned.

* Kairi- Sora and Riku's childhood friend. As one of the seven princesses of heart, she became a target of the forces of darkness, but thankfully Sora and Riku came to the rescue. She now trains with Lea as a Keyblade wielder herself to prepare for the final battle ahead.

* Yozora- A prince that is a character in a game called Verum Rex. He faces the epic mission ahead of him with his bodyguards/friends Magia and Aegis as he approaches his regal destiny head on. Now is it just me, or does he look a lot like somebody we know?

* Neoshadow Heartless- These souped-up Shadows hit hard and fast with their jump attacks; if they're in the air, you'd better get out of there. Once they melt into the ground, they're beyond the reach of most attacks, but that's nothing a little Water magic can't fix. Go fight puddles with puddles to get the upper hand!

* Powerwild Heartless- These impish chimps swing through the trees and scrabble along walls while pelting you with nuts. Those rude ruffians! Block whatever they throw and send it right back at them. They'll taunt and tease and try to bait you into attacking. Too bad they failed to realize they're wide open at all times, the silly monkeys...

* Dusk Nobody- Phantasmagorical frights that morph and stretch as they fight. The base form of Nobodies, they answer directly to Xemnas and the other Organization members. Stay locked on, and all of their fancy footwork won't be enough to save them. As tough as they are to predict, there are moments when they just sort of... stand there vacantly. And the best course of action when they space out, is Keyblades out.

* Popcat Heartless- Keep your wits about you when walking past pottery; you never know when it might sprout fuzzy limbs and attack. Once these scaredy-cats show themselves, they'll start running about like crazy. If you try to create some distance, they'll huck smaller pots your way, but a well-timed block might be enough to return those to sender, as it were. Popcats are top-heavy and prone to face-planting. When they stumble, make sure it's the last trip they take.

* Vermilion Samba Heartless- These fiery fliers come to a midair halt and conjure up a sigil before they launch flaming projectiles at you. Use this opportunity to get a strike in at them! When they do start dishing out the rapid-fire spells, keep a cool head and dodge out of the way. Nothing rains on their parade quite like a cool sip of Water magic. If you've got the MP to spare, go ahead and make the splash!

And that finishes this another chapter. I hope you enjoyed this little update, and please remember to leave a review! See you all next time, and may your heart be your guiding key.
