Chapter 26: Monstro and the Nautilus Part 1 (The following world is based on Pinocchio 1940, with elements from the movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea)

The Gummi Ship was in full orbit and Sora was having a fever. Something was not right with his heart. it began to beat over the past couple of hours and everyone on board worried. Goofy was sitting next to Sora, giving him some soup.

"How did this happen? How could you get sick?" asked Donald.

"I don't know. I think the worlds have different climates or something." said Sora.

"And we did just got off from Agrabah. That world was super hot!" exclaimed Goofy.

"Well get a load of this guys, I see a reading up ahead. What ever world we find ourselves in, I hope we find friendly people willing to help." said Donald.

"Wait. I feel something is not right." said Sora.Jiminy Cricket looked at the monitor and screamed.

"Oh no! Guys watch out!" cried Jiminy. A few moments later, a massive whale appeared out of nowhere, followed by a long metallic looking ship. No, a submarine.

"That whale! It's Monstro! He's from my world!" cried Jiminy.

"And that thing following him?" asked Sora.

"I don't now. It doesn't look like a Gummi Ship." said Goofy. Just then, the giant whale opened it's large mouth and everyone was swallowed in, along with the submarine that was somehow in space.


Once they got out of the ship, Sora, Donald and Goofy emerged with their weapons in tact. And Jiminy was not far behind.

"I'm afraid of this place." said Jiminy.

"Why? You've been here before?" asked Donald.

"Long ago... with Pinocchio." said Jiminy.

"Who'se Pinocchio?" asked Sora.Just then, a large gummi block fell from a pile of wood and Jiminy looked up. His mouth dropped upon seeing his old friend Pinocchio.

"Pinocchio! I can't believe it!" cried Jiminy.The whole group had no choice but to follow the wooden little boy. Or was that in Sora's imagination. He couldn't have just seen a puppet move on his own. As the group ran, they found themselves upon an old boat, and there were two men standing there. One was an elderly man holding a small fish bowl, and on his feet was a small black cat. Pinocchio himself arrived with the gummi block and presented them to the man who was holding a pistol and aiming directly at the old man, Gepetto, Pinocchio's father.

"You got what you wanted. Now let my Father go!" cried Pinocchio to the tall man with a long blue coat and a small black beard.

"So these are the Gummi Blocks. Pathetic. I expected them to be more... metallic. You are not pulling my leg are you wooden one?" asked the tall man.

"Leave them alone!" cried Sora holding his Keyblade against the man.Donald and Goofy were behind him with their shield and staff ready for action and Jiminy quickly hopped his way towards Pinocchio.

"What in heavens' name are you people? I see a man dog, a small goose and a boy with a terrible wardrobe malfunction and a mess of hair. Put down your toys. I'm here on private buisness." said the man.

"Who are you!" cried Jiminy.

"Now a talking cricket. The outside world is full of mystery and wonder as the ocean. This is why I'd prefer to live in the sea than on land or space for that matter." said the man.

"Please let us all go. I told you, those Gummi Blocks are good objects! If done properly, you can make a ship to escape the whale!" cried Geppetto.

"Yes, I intend to escape. But when I do, I will return to my ocean and live there for the rest of my days. I will have no use for all of you." said the man.

"Your bonkers! How can you live in the ocean with no human contact whatsoever!" cried Donald.

"Simple. I will live far from humanity as possible. Not that a land creature such as yourself would understand. Oh where are my manners. I'm Captain Nemo, Captain of the Nautilus!" said the man.

Sora's eye's widened and his jaw dropped. "I heard of you! My father used to tell me stories of a man who lived all alone on a submarine, far from people's reach! Your from Destiny Islands!" cried Sora.

"He's from your world?!" cried Goofy.

"He was. But I think he's a survivor like me." said Sora.

"This explains why you reek of ocean. You are from Destiny Islands. But even if your from the same world as I am, that doesn't mean I will show empathy." said Captain Nemo as he took the Gummi Block from the ground.

"Wood Carver! Fix my ship." demanded the Captain.

"Hold on! I don't know the mechanics of your ship!" cried Geppetto.

"Oh? Then allow me to take you to Davy Jones's locker." said Captain Nemo as he pointed the pistol at Geppetto.

"Oi! Belay that!" cried another voice from within the whale. Just then, a drunk man came out of nowhere, holding a bottle of rum and walking back and forth. This was the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow."Did you say Davy Jones. I heard Davy Jones." said Jack Sparrow.

Captain Nemo on the other hand rolled his eyes."Gentlemen, this is Jack Sparrow. He somehow stowed away on my ship. And I can tell he's not from Destiny Islands." said Captain Nemo.

"Why are you pointing a pistol at a harmless old man? Clearly he's not worth the effort. And he's got a lad. Why not just spare him and use him to get us all out of this bloody whale eh savvy?" asked Jack.

Captain Nemo looked at Jack Sparrow like he was ready to kill him. "Are you questioning me?" asked Captain Nemo.

"Why don't I help you out!" cried Sora. Donald and Goofy gasped. And Captain Nemo turned around.

"Come again?" he asked.

"Don't you remember the motto of our island? We islanders have to help one another. But if I help you, where would you go? It's not like there's an ocean world for you, now that our home is gone." said Sora.

"There is such a world. It's known as Atlantica. I shall go there." said Captain Nemo.

"And what for? To live alone? That's no life." said Sora.

"It's a good life as any child." replied Captain Nemo.

Geppetto spoke up. "Don't bother yourself young man. This person is so blinded by his hatred towards people, he would rather live alone in a life of pure solitude. He won't find joy where he's going." said Geppetto.

"Oi, where'd the puppet boy go?" asked Jack.

"Pinocchio! Oh no, not you too!" cried Geppetto looking around.

"He must have run off during the conversation." said Jiminy.

"No, he was captured." said Goofy pointing at a group of Heartless taking Pinocchio deep into Monstro's insides.

"No! Help!" cried Pinocchio."Pinocchio!" cried Geppetto.

"Why do you care so much for that toy you created?" asked Captain Nemo.

Geppetto put his arms around his chest. "Pinocchio is my light." he said sadly.

Sora ran up to him and held his hands."Don't worry. We'll rescue him." said Sora reassuringly with a warm smile.Geppetto smiled back with tears in his eyes.

"Please same my son." he pleaded.

"Your son? Don't make me laugh old man. He's a puppet that moves. A product of witch craft!" cried Captain Nemo.Sora, Donald and Goofy flat out ignored the Captain and ran after the Heartless taking Pinocchio away. Jack Sparrow then grabbed his bottle and hit Captain Nemo on the head. Geppeto backed away in fright, not knowing what to do with the drunk like man.

"I got my reasons why I'm here in this whale to begin with. And the Captain and I are on a mission of our own. You build yourself an escape while I deal with Captain Nemo." said Jack Sparrow as he dragged the man towards the crashed Nautilus.


As the group ran inside the strange colorful guts of Monstro, Donald began to ask. "What's the deal with the drunk Pirate?""Perhaps he's here on a weird road trip. He was drunk after all." said Goofy."But why are there so many off worlders in different worlds?" asked Donald."Stop thinking too much! Let's get Pinocchio and get out of here before that man hurts Geppetto!" cried Sora.
