Chapter 29: Adventure of Oz
In the dark chapel, Gideon, the Darkest Faerie, Kay, Morgan, Silver Knight, Bete Noire, and Azula are talking to Maleficent, Dr. Facilier, and Ruber.
"I must admit, you have done a splendid job of breaking them, Arthur especially." Dr. Facilier said.
"And it was very generous to bring in our new prisoners. I'm sure they'll feel right at home in their dungeon cells." Maleficent said.
"And with the Alicorn and the witch as our new magic batteries, we'll be able to create a stronger army of Heartless!" Ruber said.
"It was all well and fun indeed." Gideon said.
"The more pain we brought was a lot more fun for us." Azula said.
"What's more is that it'll make Arthur want to come here and try to get his friends back." Morgan said.
"Tch, like that'll happen. Let him wallow in his own pathetic misery like the worm he is." Kay said.
"This should still work to our advantage. Why stop here?" The Darkest Faerie asked.
"Yes, perhaps we should lure Arthur to our side. After all, he'd do anything for his friends." Maleficent said.
"Hehehe, leave that to me. I'll break him further and have him see how much use he can be of us." Ruber said.
"Maybe I should tag along, but first, to check on how my experiments are comin' along." Gideon said, leaving.
"Perhaps I shall join as well. After all, there is a partner that can help us." The Darkest Faerie said, smiling evilly.
Arthur, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Tod leave Traverse Town and return to the Gummi ship to continue their quest and make their way for a new world in the next section after Demon Castle and after a few minutes of flying, shooting down Heartless ships, and destroying obstacles, they later arrive at a new world that has a little town, a plain with a yellow brick road, a dark forest, a green city, and an evil fortress.
"This is new. What is it?" Sora asked.
"Fellers, this is Oz! It's a rather strange, but beautiful world that's under the rule of a wizard." Chip said.
"Gawrsh, we oughta check that place out." Goofy said.
"Well, we might as well." Donald said, as they disembark.
(World of Oz)
Arthur, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Tod arrive at what looks like a little town with little houses with domed roofs, as well as meadows with blooming flowers, a small blue pond, and tall trees with fruits.
"This place really IS beautiful." Goofy said, looking around.
"It would be a place to just relax." Sora said, putting his hands behind his head.
"Yeah well, you three can go ahead a take a nap for all I care. I'M gonna find out where that Keyhole is." Arthur said.
"Wait! We don't know where to look yet!" Donald said.
Just then, they hear a scream, as they see what looks like a young girl with brown hair tied to two braided pigtails with blue bows wearing a white short-sleeve frock with a white and blue checkered overall, light blue socks, and old shoes running while holding a small black terrier dog.
"Oh, we are NOT in Kansas anymore, Toto!" The girl cried, still running.
"Hey, someone's here too." Sora said.
"But what is she running from?" Donald asked.
"There's your answer." Arthur said, pointing at Heartless that look like dark blue elves carrying pitchforks with yellow eyes and wearing red pointed hats with their emblems on the hats.
"They're gonna hurt that poor girl!" Goofy said.
"C'mon!" Sora said, as they confront the Heartless with their weapons out. "Hey! Pick on someone your own size!" Sora yelled.
"You're gonna deal with us!" Donald yelled.
(Battle Theme: Adventure of Oz)
(Information: Defeat the Heartless!)
The Elf Heartless move around and impale the group with their pitchforks,but Arthur blocks and then counterattacks with Excalibur followed by casting Frostra while Sora diagonal slashes with Kingdom Key followed by Ripple Drive and then casts Thundara, but the Elf Heartless deliver spinning attacks with their pitchforks and then deliver a slamming attack, only for Donald to cast Stopra and then casts Earthra while Goofy uses Tornado. The Elf Heartless multi impale with their pitchforks, only for Tod to use Growl, allowing Arthur to triple slash with Excalibur followed by Magic Pulse and then casts Gale while Sora uses Sonic Blade and dashes all over and delivers the final dash strike. The Elf Heartless swipe their pitchforks to attack, only for Goofy to block with his shield and then uses Charge while Donald casts Watera while Tod uses Tackle, but the Elf Heartless spin attack with their pitchforks, only for Sora to cast Sleep, making the Heartless sleep and then delivers four slashes with Kingdom Key while Arthur uses Mjolnir and they defeat the Heartless.
"There, done." Arthur said, as the girl and her dog approach the group.
"Oh, my, that was wonderful! Thank you." The girl said.
"Heh, don't mention it." Sora said, putting his hands behind his head.
"We're just glad you're safe." Goofy said.
"Why were the Heartless attacking you?" Donald asked.
"Oh, dear. That's what those awful things were called? I don't know why. They just showed and attacked me and Toto right after we ended up in this place after we were caught in that awful twister." The girl said.
"Ended up here?" Sora asked, crossing his arms.
"Ya don't think she's from another world too, don'tcha?" Goofy asked.
"I don't know." Donald said.
"Let's just introduce ourselves. I'm Arthur. These are Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Tod." Arthur introduced.
"It's very nice to meet you. My name is Dorothy Gale from Kansas and this is my dog, Toto." Dorothy introduced herself and Toto, who examines Tod, who examines back and the two begin chasing each other.
"So, Dorothy, how did..." Sora was cut off, as a pink bubble floats down to them and as the bubble fades, they see what looks like a woman with strawberry blonde hair, light blue eyes, fairy wings, wearing a glittering pink gown with silver stars and butterflies, and carrying a long magic wand.
"Who's she?" Arthur asked.
"Now I know I'm not in Kansas anymore." Dorothy said.
"Young lady, are you a good witch or a bad witch?" The woman asked.
"Me? I'm no witch. I'm just a girl. My name is Dorothy." Dorothy said.
"Well, is this one the witch?" The woman asked, pointing at Toto.
"Toto is my dog." Dorothy said.
"And what of you four? You don't appear to be witches." The woman said.
"No way." Sora said.
"Yeah, we're good guys!" Donald said, crossing his arms.
"We were just helpin' Dorothy from those Heartless." Goofy said.
"I see." The woman said.
"Why would you think Dorothy's a witch?" Arthur asked.
"Forgive me. The Munchkins called me because they saw a new witch dropping a house on the Wicked Witch of the East." The woman said.
"Wait, what?" Sora asked.
"What house?" Donald asked, as the woman points at a farmhouse.
"There's the house and here you are, child." The woman said, pointing at two white and black stocking feet sticking out from under the farmhouse while wearing red sparkling slippers. "This is all that's left of the Wicked Witch of the East." The woman said, shocking Dorothy, Donald, and Goofy.
"Gawrsh..." Goofy said.
"Oof... That oughta hurt." Sora said, flinching with pity.
"That is why the Munchkins want to know if you are a good or bad witch." The woman said.
"I told you, I'm no witch. Witches are ugly." Dorothy said.
"Yeah and they're bad!" Donald said.
"In case you forgot, Donald, Amity's a witch and she's NOT a bad person and she isn't ugly either!" Arthur snapped, but giggling is heard. "What's so funny?" Arthur asked, looking around.
"Where's that coming from?" Sora asked, looking around as well.
"Oh, the Munchkins are laughing at what you just said. You see, I'm a witch myself. I am Glinda, the Witch of the North." Glinda introduced.
"Wait, really?" Sora asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just never heard of a good and beautiful witch." Dorothy said.
"We thought you'd be a fairy." Goofy said.
"Do not worry. Only the bad witches are ugly." Glinda said.
"That makes sense." Donald said.
"The Munchkins are very happy that you freed them from the Wicked Witch of the East." Glinda said.
"What're the Munchkins?" Arthur asked.
"They sound like some kinda food." Goofy said.
"They're not!" Donald yelled.
"They're the little people, who live in this land." Glinda said.
"Well, can they come out, so we can meet them?" Sora asked.
"Yes, of course. Come on out, little ones." Glinda said, as little people wearing bright colored clothes with variety of hats, such as flowers, flower pots, tall hats, and bonnet hats coming out of manholes, bushes, and little buildings and surround the group.
"Gawrsh, they sure are li'l guys." Goofy said, as the Munchkins grab Arthur, Sora, and Dodorthy's hands.
"Hey, what're you doing?" Arthur asked.
"Don't worry, dear, they're going to take you to city hall to meet with their mayor for gratitude." Glinda said.
"Okay, but we can follow them." Sora said.
(Field Theme: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz)
(Munchkinland)
(Information: Follow the Munchkins to city hall!)
The group begin following the Munchkins through the town to reach city hall, but before they keep going, they see a fireball erupting in the city near the farmhouse followed by a red cloud of smoke and a loud bang and as the smoke clears, they see what looks like an ugly woman with green skin and wearing a black robe and pointed hat while carrying a broomstick, causing the Munchkins to run in agony, as the woman goes for farmhouse.
"A witch?" Goofy asked.
"Now that HAS to be a bad one!" Donald said.
"But I thought she was crushed." Sora said.
"I forgot to mention that the Wicked Witch of the East has a sister. This is the Wicked Witch of the West. She's the worst witch of all." Glinda said.
After examining the farmhouse and the crushed Witch of the East, the Wicked Witch of the West confronts the group, who stand ready to fight while Tod growls at the Witch.
"Who killed her?! Who killed my sister?!" The Wicked Witch demanded.
"I-It was an accident. I didn't mean to hurt anyone..." Dorthy said.
"Well, my pretty, I can cause accidents too! Let's see how you will like that!" The Wicked Witch said, but Arthur confronts her.
"Leave her alone!" Arthur yelled, pointing Excalibur.
"Ahh, so you wish to take her place, do you, my dear?" The Wicked Witch asked.
"You touch ONE hair on his head and you answer to me!" Sora yelled, pointing his Keyblade.
"You DARE obstruct my vengence?! Then you all shall suffer my wrath!" The Wicked Witch yelled.
"Surely you haven't forgotten the ruby slippers." Glinda said.
"Huh?" Donald asked.
"Yessss, the slippers!" The Wicked Witch said, going for the ruby slippers, only for them to disappear from the Witch of the East, as the stockings curl up and disappear under the farmhouse. "WHAT?! The slippers!" The Wicked Witch yelled, as the slippers reappear on Dorothy's feet.
"You are too late." Glinda said.
"Gee, it's kinda like how the Keyblade chose you, Sora." Goofy said.
"I guess..." Sora said.
"Give me those slippers, girl! Only I know how to make use of them! Give them back or I'll destroy you!" The Wicked Witch yelled.
"Don't do it, Dorothy. Keep them tightly close to you. She only wants them for their magic." Glinda said.
"Silence, Glinda or I'll fix you!" The Wicked Witch yelled, but Tod bites the witch's behind. "You filthy scamp! I'll fix you too!" The Wicked Witch yelled, only for Arthur to try and attack her, but the witch backs away.
"Let me tell you something, I'm in a very bad mood right now and if you ever hurt anyone here, I'LL fix YOU!" Arthur yelled.
"Be gone, Witch! You have no power here. Unless you want to join your sister, leave." Glinda said.
"Very well, I'll bide my time, but know this, my pretties; I cannot destroy you here and now as much as I'd like. Stay out of my way or suffer my wrath! I'll get you all and your little dog and fox too!" The Wicked Witch said, cackling evilly while vanshing in fire and smoke.
"Finally, she's gone." Donald said.
"Hag." Arthur said.
"It's alright, everyone. She's gone. It seems you have made an enemy of the Witch herself." Glinda said.
"Yeah, no kidding." Sora said.
"It's urgent you must leave Oz sooner." Glinda said.
"Oh, I'd give anything to leave this place, but I don't know how to get back back home." Dorothy said.
"There's only one person, who knows how to help you and that would be the great and wonderful Wizard of Oz himself." Glinda said.
"Is this Wizard of Oz good or evil?" Goofy asked.
"He's very good, but mysterious. He lives in Emerald City, but it's a long journey from here." Glinda said.
"Aww, phooey." Donald said.
"Okay, so what's the best way to get to Emerald City?" Arthur asked.
"All you need do is follow the yellow brick road." Glinda said, pointing at yellow bricks on the road.
"That's it?" Sora asked.
"Yes, but remember, never let the ruby slippers out of your sight or you'll be at the mercy of the Witch." Glinda said, as she disappears in her large bubble form.
"Well, looks like we better mosey on that there yellow brick road." Goofy said.
"Don't worry, Dorothy. We'll protect you on the way." Sora said.
"Oh, thank you, Sora." Dorothy said.
"YOU three can!" Arthur said.
"What?" Donald asked.
"Artie, what're you talking about?" Sora asked.
"You three can go with Dorothy. I'm not." Arthur said.
"But, Arthur, we need ya." Goofy said.
"No you don't. Nobody needs me! It's because of me that everyone else was taken and I couldn't do anything for them. What good am I to anyone?! I'll only just put someone else in danger if I'm around. I don't want that to happen again. Count me out this time." Arthur said.
"But where're YOU gonna go?" Sora asked.
"Don't worry about it. I'm not going with you anymore and that's that." Arthur said, running off.
"Arthur!" Sora called, but the blond is gone, making the Munchkins sad.
"That's just great..." Donald said, as Tod runs after Arthur.
"Gawrsh, he must really be upset after what happened..." Goofy said.
"Artie..." Sora said.
"Oh, dear. I'm very sorry. Did something awful happen?" Dorothy asked.
"You could say that, but don't worry. I'm sure Arthur'll come around. Anyway, let's head to Emerald City to meet this Wizard of Oz." Sora said, as they start walking down the yellow brick road and leaving Munchkinland.
(Crossroad)
Sora, Donald, and Goofy continue walking with Dorothy and Toto across the yellow brick road and they later arrive at what looks like a crossroad near a cornfield, but as they keep walking, they find three different paths and different directions with the first showing three rolling hills, the second showing a forest, and the third showing more field.
"Ugh, how're we supposed to follow the yellow brick road if all THREE of them are the same?!" Donald asked annoyed.
"Which way should we go?" Sora asked.
"That way seems a nice way to go to." A voice said, making them look around to see where the voice came from.
"Who said that?" Goofy asked, as he sees what looks like a scarecrow wearing an old black pointed hat, a green long-sleeve shirt, brown pants, full of straw, white gloves, and black old farm boots hanging high up above from a pole pointing out a path.
"I heard someone, but I can SEE anyone." Sora said, looking around, but Toto barks to get their attention.
"What?" Donald asked, as Toto barks at the scarecrow.
"Ya don't think Toto was suggestin' that scarecrow spoke, do ya?" Goofy asked.
"Don't be ridiculous! Scarecrows can't talk!" Donald said.
"It's pleasant down that way too." The voice said, making the group see the scarecrow pointing another direction.
"What?" Sora asked.
"Wasn't he pointing another way?" Dorothy asked.
"I think so..." Sora said, crossing his arms.
"Of course, anyone can go both ways." The voice said, as the scarecrow crosses arms in both directions.
"Now what?" Donald asked.
"Wait a minute... Were you...talking?" Sora asked the scarecrow, who shook its head, but nods, confusing them.
"Yes or no?" Donald asked, crossing his arms and tapping his foot.
"I'm sorry. I can't make up my mind. I have no brain. Just straw." The scarecrow said, lifting the hat, showing nothing but straw.
"The scarecrow WAS talkin'." Goofy said.
"But how can you talk if you don't have a brain?" Sora asked.
"How can you even talk at all?" Donald asked, putting his hands on his hips.
"I'm not sure, but some people without a brain do a lotta talking." Scarecrow said.
"Hmm, maybe we oughta get to know him some more." Goofy said.
"Talk to a scarecrow?" Donald asked, crossing his arms.
"Why not." Sora said, going for Scarecrow. "Hiya! How're you?" Sora asked.
"Not well. I've been stuck up here all day." Scarecrow said.
"Can't you get down?" Dorothy asked.
"No..." Scarecrow said.
"Let's help him out." Goofy said.
"Oh, brother..." Donald said, as they work together to get Scarecrow off the pole.
Scarecrow is free, but some of his straw stuffing fall out.
"There goes some of me." Scarecrow said, standing up and picking up some of his straw.
"You're not hurt, are you?" Dorothy asked.
"Oh, no. I always pick myself up again and again." Scarecrow said, putting his straw back into him. "It's good to be free!" Scarecrow said.
"Yeah, good for you." Donald said, rolling his eyes, as Scarecrow dances around, but trips and falls.
"Oh, no!" Dorothy cried.
"You okay?" Sora asked.
"Did I scare you?" Scarecrow asked.
"No..." Dorothy said.
"You couldn't even scare a fly." Donald said.
"Donald." Goofy said.
"Oh, I see..." Scarecrow said sadly.
"Why did you wanna scare us?" Sora asked.
"Because I'm a scarecrow. Am I not supposed to scare people?" Scarecrow asked.
"Well, no. Not people." Goofy said.
Just then, something appears and flies down to confront the group and it's what looks like a giant Heartless that looks like a giant black and red raven with razor wings, yellow eyes, bladed tail feathers, giant talons, and the Heartless emblem on its body.
"Oh, dear!" Dorothy said.
"Go away! Scat! Shoo!" Scarecrow yelled, only for the raven Heartless to breathe purple fire at the Scarecrow, who runs away. "AHHHH! FIRE!" Scarecrow screamed.
"Dorothy, get Scarecrow to safety! We'll take care of this Heartless!" Sora said, taking out his Keyblade.
"Please be careful!" Dorothy said.
(Boss Theme: Shrouding Dark Cloud)
(Information: Defeat Inferaven while protecting Scarecrow!)
The Heartless known as Inferaven begins flying around while breathing purple fire to try and burn Scarecrow, but Sora summons Dumbo and gets on the elephant's back and Dumbo begins shooting water from his trunk to deal great damage against the flying Heartless, whi retaliates with spreading its wings to unleash waves of purple flames to deal some burning damage, but Dumbo keeps firing water from his trunk to deal more damage. Inferaven attacks with its razor wings followed by unleashing trails of purple flames, only for Donald to cast Blizzara and then casts Watera while Goofy uses Tornado, but Inferaven flies around while shooting down purple fiery tail feathers, but Sora deflects them and then aerial slashes with Kingdom Key followed by casting Blizzara. Inferaven delivers a dashing flying attack while leaving behind trails of purple flames and then shoots purple fireballs at Scarecrow, but Goofy blocks with his shield and then uses Charge while Donald casts Thundara followed by casting Gravira, only for Inferaven to spread its wings to unleash waves of purple flames. Sora casts Watera to deal great damage and then uses Strike Raid and throws his Keyblade four times and then delivers the final Keyblade throw, but Inferaven attacks with its talons while unleashing pillars of purple flames and then tries to breathe more purple fire at Scarecrow, but Sora summons Genie, who shoots magic, such as Watera, Blizzara, and Thundara.
Inferaven flies around again and then unleashes raining purple fireballs down at Scarecrow, only for Donald to cast Gravira followed by casting Watera while Goofy uses Goofy Bash and throws his shield, but Inferaven delivers a dashing flying attack while leaving behind purple fire trails, only for Sora to double vertical slash with Kingdom Key followed by a diagonal slash and then uses Ripple Drive. Inferaven attacks the group with its razor wings followed by slashing with its razor tail feathers and then breathes more purple flames, only for Goofy to block with his shield and then uses Goofy Turbo while Donald casts Earthra followed by casting Blizzara, but Inferaven delivers a pecking attack while unleashing more purple flames. Sora blocks the pecking attack and then delivers five slashes with Kingdom Key followed by Blitz and then casts Watera while Donald casts Thundara followed by casting Gravira, only for Inferaven to swipe its razor wings while unleashing waves of purple flames and flies around to shoot purple fireballs at Scarecrow, but Donald casts Aero to protect him and then casts Blizzara. Inferaven drops down to attack with its talons while unleashing pillars of purple flames and then attacks with its razor wings and razor tail feathers, only for Goofy to counter and then bashes with his shield while Sora aerial slashes with Kingdom Key followed by a double somersault slash. Inferaven flies around while breathing more purple flames, only for Goofy to use Rocket to strike above while Donald casts Watera followed by casting Earthra, only for Inferaven to fire purple fiery tail feathers from above, but Sora uses Strike Raid and throws his Keyblade four times and delivers the final Keyblade throw and they finish off Inferaven.
Inferaven roars and crashes to the ground, as a giant heart flies out of the Heartless, who disappears while the trio run to Dorothy and Scarecrow.
"You two okay?" Sora asked.
"Yes, thank you very much, Sora, Donald, and Goofy." Dorothy said.
"I couldn't even scare off that awful crow. Some come to eat at my fields and laugh at my face." Scarecrow said.
"Yeah, that Heartless was more scarier than you." Donald said.
"Donald!" Sora berated.
"I'm sure if any scarecorw in Kansas was like you, the crows would be terrified." Dorothy said.
"Where's Kansas?" Scarecrow asked.
"It's where I live and we're going to Emerald City to have the Wizard of Oz help me." Dorothy said.
"And we're going with her to protect her from any danger." Sora said.
"Really? You're off to see the Wizard? If I went with you, do you suppose he'd give me some brains?" Scarecrow asked.
"Don't hold your breath, Strawface. Besides, it's bad enough we got Heartless to deal with, but there's also this really bad witch." Donald said.
"Witch? Ha! I'm not scared of any witch! I'm not scared of anything!" Scarecrow said.
"And you ran screaming when that giant Heartless attacked you." Donald said.
"Well, yes, but it was using fire! Still, I'd face any danger to get some brains." Scarecrow said.
"Then come with us." Sora said.
"Yeah, maybe that there Wizard oughta give ya a brain." Goofy said.
"Aw, phooey." Donald said.
"Oh, thank you! Just one thing." Scarecrow said, getting a pitchfork. "I may not have a brain, but I'll do my best to protect you too." Scarecrow said.
"Cool! This oughta be fun!" Sora said, grinning.
"A scarecrow willing to fight bad guys? Pfft, now I've seen everything." Donald said, rolling his eyes.
"C'mon, fellas! Let's go see that Wizard of Oz!" Goofy said.
"Here we go!" Dorothy said, as they continue through the field.
(Forest)
Sora, Donald, Goofy, Dorothy, and Scarecrow arrive at a forest and continue walking down the yellow brick road, but unknowing to them, Gideon is watching them from behind a tree with an evil smirk on his face.
"So, they're off to see that dumb Wizard, eh? Maybe I oughta slow 'em down a bit." Gideon said, looking at the trees, giving him a sinister idea. "Ooooh-hoooo! This is gonna be soooo evil, but sooo good!" Gideon said, unleashing dark magic on the trees.
As the group keep walking down the road, a tree comes to life and blocks the way, revealing glowing red eyes.
"Oh, my! Excuse us." Dorothy said, but the tree attacks the girl with a branch.
"Dorthy!" Sora yelled, blocking the attack with his Keyblade.
"Somehow, I'm not surprised a tree is alive." Donald said, crossing his arms.
"But why was it attackin' us?" Goofy asked, as more trees come to life and begin attacking.
"Look out!" Scarecrow cried, as they dodge the attacking trees.
"What's with them? Why're they attacking?" Sora asked.
"Who cares! If they're attacking us, we attack back!" Donald said, casting Fira at one of the trees.
"Right! Let's go!" Sora said.
(Information: Defeat the Hostile Treants!)
The Hostile Treants begin attacking the group with their branches, unleashing spikes of wood, but Sora triple slashes with Kingdom Key followed by Stun Impact and then casts Fira while Donald also casts Fira and then casts Thundara, only for the Hostile Treants to jump in the air and take out apple bombs and throw them to explode, but Goofy uses Charge while Scarecrow attacks with his pitchfork followed by a multi strike. The Hostile Treants unleash vines from the ground to try and trap the group, who dodge, only for the evil tree monsters to throw more apple bombs, but Scarecrow delivers a spinning attack with his pitchfork while Donald casts Earthra followed by casting Blizzara, but the Hostile Treants slam their branches on the ground to attack. Goofy blocks with his shield and then uses Tornado while Sora uses Sonic Blade and dashes all over to strike at the tree monsters and then delivers the final dashing strike, but the Hostile Treants unleash more vines to try and trap the group, only for Scarecrow to attack with his pitchfork while Sora casts Fira. The Hostile Treants swipe at the group with their branches followed by unleashing spikes of wood to attack, but Donald casts Stopra to freeze time and then casts Thundara while Goofy uses Goofy Turbo, but the Hostile Treants throw more apple bombs to explode, only for Sora to deliver five slashes with Kingdom Key and then uses Ripple Drive and they defeat the evil trees.
"That was close." Goofy said.
"Never have I ever seen a tree attack me like that." Dorothy said.
"They didn't appear to be Heartless, but..." Sora stops talking.
"Well, whatever. Let's keep moving before more start attacking again." Donald said.
As the group keep walking down the forest, Dorothy sees something and it's what looks like a foot and leg made of metal and as the group examine the metal leg and foot, they then see what looks like man made of silver and hollow tin, but also appears to have rust and standing montionless.
"What is THAT?" Sora asked.
"It appears to be a man...made of tin!" Dorothy said.
"Gawrsh, but he seems all rusted..." Goofy said.
"I doubt he's even alive." Donald said.
"Oi... An...!" The metal man mumbled.
"What?" Sora asked confused.
"What's he saying?" Scarecrow asked.
"Gee, I think he's tryin' to say 'oil can'." Goofy said.
"Oil can what?" Sora asked.
"Him?" Donald said, pointing at the metal man.
"Oh, but where can we find one?" Dorothy asked.
Donald then finds what looks like a can sitting on a stump next to the metal man.
"This must be it!" Donald said, taking the oil can.
"Where do ya want us to put it on ya first?" Goofy asked.
"My... Outh..." The metal man said.
"Oh, he wants his mouth oil first." Scarecrow said.
"Okay." Donald said, using the oil can on the metal man and after enough squirts, the metal man's face is free from rust.
"Oh, I can finallt speak again! Oil the rest of me please." The metal man said, as the group oil the rest of the metal man's body and later, he's able to move again. "Ah, that felt wonderful! I can finally move again." The metal man said.
"How did you get like this?" Sora asked.
"A year ago, I was chopping this tree, then it started to rain. When I was still chopping, I began to rust. I was like this ever since." Tin Man explained.
"Well, seems like you're all better now." Goofy said.
"Not quite. Bang on my chest." Tin Man said.
"Why?" Donald asked, crossing his arms.
"Please." Tin Man said, as Sora bangs on the metal man's chest, creating an echo. "Empty." Tin Man said.
"Huh?" Sora asked.
"The tinsmith, who made me forgot to give me a heart. I'm all hollow." Tin Man said.
"No heart...?" Sora asked.
"But he's not a Heartless..." Goofy said.
"No, he's just a metal person." Donald said.
"Hey, listen. We're going to Emerald City to see the Wizard of Oz to try and get Dorothy back to Kansas and give Scarecrow a brain. If you come with us, he might give you a heart." Sora said.
"You think so? I'm not so sure if he'd actually give me one." Tin Man said.
"Oh, but he must. We've come such a long way." Dorothy said.
"Long, you say? But you've just begun!" A voice said, as they see the Wicked Witch, as well as Gideon and the Darkest Faerie.
"I must say, y'all're doin' a bang up job of gettin' this far, but it's far as y'all're gonna git!" Gideon said.
"Have you been following us?!" Sora demanded, as he, Donald, and Goofy get ready to fight.
"Of course. We know you're off to see that wretched Wizard, but that will never do. We can't have that." The Darkest Faerie said.
"Now, give me those ruby slippers before I turn that scarecrow into a mattress and that metal man into a beehive!" The Wicked Witch said.
"Forget it! You have to deal with us first!" Donald yelled.
"Oh, I'd be more than willin' to do just that! Darkest Faerie, go find Arthur, since I doubt he's far off. Witc,h go back to the fortress. I'll deal 'em and get those slippers faster than you can say 'Game over'!" Gideon said.
"Very well. We'll be waiting." The Darkest Faerie said, disappearing.
"Have fun, my dearie!" The Wicked Witch said, disappearing in fire and red smoke while cackling.
"Scarecrow, Tin Man, get Dorothy somewhere safe. This kid is just as bad as the Witch herself." Sora said.
"Okay, but please be careful, Sora!" Scarecrow said, as they take Dorothy away.
"You really think we're just gonna let you mosey on to Emerald City to that dumb ol' Wizard? Guess again! I'm always on yer shadow and won't sopt 'til yer light's snuffed out!" Gideon said.
"What've you done with Twilight, Tor, Amity, Kirby, Katara, Robin, Maka, and Soul?! Because of you, Artie's not the same!" Sora yelled.
"Oh, boo-hoo! Lemme play a sad song on my smallest violin, after I kill you slack-jawed idiots!" Gideon said.
(Boss Theme: Squirming Evil!)
(Information: Fight off Gideon's assualt!)
Gideon fires two dark orbs at the trio, who dodge and Sora delivers four slashes with Kingdom Key followed by Ripple Drive and then casts Earthra, only for Gideon to conjure a dark barrier to protect himself from the Keybearer's attacks and then unleashes dark thorns from the ground to try and strike the spiky haired teen, only for Donald to cast Aero to protect Sora and then casts Watera, but Gideon teleports away and reappears and unleashes dark spikes. The trio dodge the dark spikes, as Goofy bashes the boy with his shield, but Gideon retaliates with unleashing two dark beams and then unleashes dark lightning to strike at the trio, but Donald casts Fira followed by casting Gravira while Sora diagonal slashes with Kingdom Key followed by Blitz and then casts Thundara. Gideon retaliates with unleashing dark pillars from the ground and then unleashes more dark thorns to try and strike, only for Goofy to use Charge while Donald summons five magic orbs and sends them to strike and then casts Blizzara while Sora uses Sonic Blade and dashes all over and then delivers the final dashing attack. Gideon retaliates with unleashing four black fireballs and throws them at the trio, only for Goofy to block them with his shield and then uses Goofy Bash and throws his shield while Sora vertical slashes with Kingdom Key followed by a roundhouse slash, only for Gideon to teleport and then unleashes more dark thorns, but Donald casts Watera.
Gideon creates another dark barrier and then unleashes a giant tornado of darkness to try and deal damage, but Sora retaliates with Strike Raid and throws his Keyblade four times and then delivers the final Keyblade throw while Donald casts Thundara followed by casting Earthra, only for Gideon to sink into the shadows, as dark spikes appear, as well as pillars of darkness, but Goofy double bashes with his shield followed by Goofy Turbo. Gideon teleports away and then unleashes two beams of darkness and then unleashes a barrage of ice storms, only for Donald to counter with casting Fira and then shoots magic concussive blasts while Goofy uses Goofy Bash and throws his shield, but Gideon conjures another dark barrier and unleashes dark thorns to attack. The trio avoid the dark thorns, only for Gideon to unleash more dark lightning and create four dark orbs and throws them at the trio, who avoid the attacks and Sora delivers five slashes with Kingdom Key followed by Ripple Drive and then casts Earthra while Goofy uses Tornado, only for Gideon to unleash dark spikes and then unleashes pillars of darkness. Donald retaliates with shooting magic shots from his staff and then casts Thundara while Goofy uses Charge, only for Gideon to conjure another tornado of darkness and then unleashes five dark fireballs and sends them to deal burning damage. Sora deflects the dark fireballs and then casts Blizzara while Goofy uses Goofy Turbo, but Gideon teleports away and then unleashes dark thorns while conjuring an ice storm, but Donald casts Gravira followed by casting Earthra while Sora uses Sonic Blade, only for Gideon to unleash dark spikes and then fires more dark orbs, only for Sora to deliver strikes with Kingdom Key.
Gideon quickly teleports and fires more dark orbs, only for Sora to deflect them and tries to attack, but the evil boy vanishes in darkness.
"Where'd he go?" Donald asked.
"You mouth-breathin' fools! You fought my immitation! All the while, we're gonna be goin' after dear ol' Artie! But hey, least he's the least of yer problems. Oh, by the way, what 'bout yer new friends? I think one of 'em is on fire!" Gideon's voice said, laughing evilly.
"Oh, no!" Sora cried, going for Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Tin Man.
The trio hurry to find Scarecrow on fire while screaming, but Tin Man uses his tin funnel hat to put out the fire, so Sora and Donald work together to help with their Water magic put the fire out and saving Scarecrow.
"We're sorry we left ya alone like that." Goofy said.
"Oh, don't worry. We're safe now." Dorothy said.
"So, that was the Wicked Witch and her friends. Ha! I'm not scared of them! I'm getting you guys to that Wizard, brain or no brain!" Scarecrow said.
"And I'll do the same, heart or no heart!" Tin Man said.
"Oh, thank you. Both of you." Dorothy said.
"We're all in this together, I promise." Sora said, grinning.
"That means we gotta hurry and see that Wizard." Donald said.
"We'll still be dealin' with some Heartless and any other danger, but we'll be a-okay!" Goofy said.
"Right, let's get going." Sora said, as they head further into the forest.
Here's Chapter 29 and after taking a nice break from doing this story, I've finally decided the new non-Disney world I haven't even touched yet. I hope it's at least enjoyable and something worth reading. That's it and time to be moving on with the adventure once again. That's all from me. Chapter 30 is coming and who knows what's gonna happen next. See ya later and have a good day. Also, if you suggestions on helping with Arthur's growth as a character, kindly let me know via review or PM me and please do tell me. Also, if you've favorited and followed Two Chosen Heroes, I'd suggest you move those over to this story, as once I'm done with this story, I'm gonna remove Two Chosen soon, so it's just me saying. Anyway, later.
