Chapter 2
Sora, Donald, and Goofy, having finally completed their tasks in the Hundred Acre Wood, began to leave. They waved goodbye to all their friends and walked away on the path in the field.
"We didn't really have to do that, you know," Donald said.
"Maybe not but it felt good to help them." Goofy said.
"Goofy's right, Donald, it was important to help them." Sora said.
"I guess you're right." Donald said and they continued walking.
The sun shined brightly down on them as the grass waved in the gentle wind. They made their way for the exit of the book as they walked along the field. Suddenly Sora stopped in his tracks and shivered.
"What's wrong, Sora?" Goofy asked.
"I don't know," Sora said. "I just got a very strange feeling all of a sudden. But it's gone now. Let's keep on going; it was probably nothing."
They continued walking. The sun continued to shine down on them and the gentle wind brushed against them.
"What's taking so long?" Donald asked.
"What do you mean, Donald?" Goofy asked.
"We've been walking here for so long and we haven't left the book yet." Donald said.
"That is weird." Goofy said.
"Maybe we missed the exit." Sora said. "Let's keep on walking. I'm sure we will find it eventually."
They continued walking through the field, the sun shining constantly. But soon they noticed changes in their surroundings. The path they were walking on disappeared and was replaced by more grass. And the grass had changed as well, from short cut to growing much taller than before. And they saw forests around the field, though still far away.
"What's going on?" Sora asked as they stopped again. "This doesn't look like the book anymore."
"Maybe we're in a different section of the book." Goofy said.
"Or maybe we're lost." Donald said.
"Quiet guys," Sora said. "Let's keep on walking and see what we can find."
"Isn't that what we've been doing?" Donald asked and they continued walking.
The field and forest continued for which seemed like forever. No matter how much they walked it felt like the field would never end. They reached an incline and discovered that they had somehow entered a valley and were now looking down into it.
"We are definitely not in the book anymore." Sora said.
"What should we do now?" Goofy asked.
"Look down there." Sora said, pointing. "There's a village. Maybe someone there can tell us where we are."
They walked down into the valley and approached the village. There were several houses, all made of wood and looking run down. It was eerily quiet as they approached because there were no people outside.
"Hello?" Sora called out. "Is anyone there?"
No answer.
"Maybe there's no one here." Donald said.
"Maybe, but maybe there is." Sora said.
"We come in peace." Goofy called out to the empty village. In response a group of villagers emerged from the houses, armed with swords, pitchforks, axes, and torches. They marched right In front of Sora and the others and surrounded them.
"Hello," Sora said nervously. "My name is Sora and these are-"
"Nevermind who they are," one of the male villagers said. "Just get rid of them."
"What?" Sora asked confused. "Why?"
"We don't want their kind here." The villager continued.
"They're demons," the villager said. "Just look at them. They're horrible monsters."
"Hey!" Donald and Goofy shouted together.
"Get back, demons!" The villagers shouted at them, moving in with their weapons.
"Wait, let me explain," Sora said. "We are just lost. We just want to know where we are and how we can get back there."
"Does that mean you've been traveling with these demons?" one of the villagers asked.
"Well, yeah, but they're not demons." Sora started to say.
"So what are they then?" Another villager asked.
"Well, they're hard to explain." Sora said.
"So they are demons. And he's probably a demon too. Just look at him."
"No, we're not demons!" Sora sad and thought How do these people come to these conclusions?
Suddenly a roar came from a nearby forest, followed by another roar. Soon after two big monsters walked out of the woods. One was a dark shade of purple, the other a dark shade of red. Both stood over twelve feet tall, had sharp curling horns on their heads, and had long claws. They walked over to the village.
"Demons!" The villagers shouted and ran away, scattering in different directions. "They brought their demon friends."
Only Sora, Donald, and Goofy did not run away.
"Those are demons?" Sora said, a little fear in his voice as the demons approached. Goofy shouted and jumped into Donald's arms when the demons roared again.
"Get off, Goofy." Donald said and dropped him.
"They're scary." Goofy said. "And big."
"Whatever they are," Sora said, bringing out his Keyblade. "We will deal with them."
"Right, Sora." Both Donald and Goofy said, taking out their weapons as well. They ran at the demons, first attacking the purple demon. Sora and Goofy ran around the demon's feet, striking at them many times, making the demon roar in pain. Then Donald used a gravity spell and brought the demon down to its knees. It roared at the attackers and swiped at them, sending Goofy flying through the air. Sora then used his stop spell on the demon, freezing it in place. He let out a string of attacks, ending with the Keyblade stuck in the demon's chest. There was a flash of light and the demon was gone.
The red demon immediately avenged his fallen comrade. He opened his mouth and a stream of fire came out. The fire got caught on Donald's tail and he ran around, trying to put it out. The demon then turned toward Sora and breathed fire again, but Sora performed a blizzard spell and froze the fire in the demon's mouth. Then he made a lightning spell and shocked the demon. From out of nowhere Goofy appeared, running at full speed and plowed into the demon, sending it flying. Sora began running to where the demon was about to land and flung his Keyblade at it. The blade entered the demon's chest and, as with the other demon, there was a flash of light and then the demon was gone. The group then walked back to the village as the villagers began to reemerge from their hiding spots, hate in their eyes.
"I told you, they are demons! Get them!" The villagers shouted and chased Sora, Donald, and Goofy away from the village.
