In a white room stood a square table. On either side of the table stood a chair, and on top of the table sat a board game. A game of chess. The pieces were set up ready for the start of the game. In the chair behind the white pieces sat a boy, and in the chair behind the black a man.

The room was the only room of a building with strong thick walls. This building sat in the center of a very large clearing, a clearing large enough for a war. Thirty warriors, stood on at the ends of the clearing, fifteen to each side. Along one side stood Auron, Mickey, Simba, Riku, Leon, Cloud, Mulan, Tarzan, Beast, Peter Pan, Jack, Aladdin, Goofy, Donald, and Hercules. Along the other side stood, Oogie Boogie, Zexion, Hades, Jafar, Lexaeus, Axel, Sephiroth, Scar, Larxene, Marluxia, Captain Hook, Vexen, Maleficent, Demyx, and Xaldin.

All thirty warriors stood ready for a fight, and at the same time they all charged in. Those who had any held their weapons at the ready. War cries were screamed and blades met on the field, while the man and child had just started their game.

The warriors clashed and fought, each trying to be the first team to get to the building. Peter Pan fought Vexen, who shot ice spears at the air in vain attempts at hitting the boy. But the Masamune cut through the air and into Peter's thigh. He screamed and an ice bolt shot through his heart.

Leon clashed blades with Lexaeus and Mickey dueled it out with Xaldin. Donald and Jafar stood a distance apart and shot spells at each other. Every spell one cast the other canceled. Then Donald cast an ice, Jafar canceled with fire and through the dieing flames came the enraged duck who bashed Jafar in the side of the head with his staff. Jafar fell to the floor and Donald cast a very powerful fire spell that consumed Jafar, his screamed died as he did and Donald ran back into the fight.
