KINGDOM SOULS
Episode 3
World of Launch City-Launch Pad
Van marveled at the fallen object from a distance. "What in the world could it be? It looks nothing like our rockets here at Launch City.". Part of Van wanted to run back to Balamb and inform headmaster Cid, who taught aviation class. The other part of Van wanted to head straight on to the ship and encounter, violently if necessary, the passengers on the ship. "Could it be an escape pod? It doesn't look big enough to hold over four people! Or maybe, it holds more! Way more! It could be filled with a race of tiny people!". While Van was lost in his own words, steam came from what seemed to be a door. "OH MY GOD!THE DOOR IS OPENING!". Finally, the door opened all the way, and two figures started to make their way out. "Excuse us, but-" was all they got to say before Van jumped on them. "OH MY GOD! YOU'RE FROM ANOTHER WORLD!YOU REALLY ARE, AREN'T YOU?". "AAAAAAHHHH! GET IT OFF DONALD! GET IT OFF!" "What's your problem, just jumping on people like that!". It took Van a little while to collect himself. "I'm sorry for jumping on you like that. So, I'm Van. And you are…?". "I'm Goofy, this is Donald, and that is Jiminy.". "GOOFY! You know about the world order.". "World Order? What's that? Is it some kind of super secret agent code in your world? Now that I brought up the subject, what world is it? I'm from-". "Sorry to waste your time," Donald spoke "Van was it? But we saw what seemed to be some kind training grounds. Can you show it to us.". "Oh, you mean the one at Balamb High School?". "I...uh…guess so. Do you know where that is?". "DO I? I go to school there! Still, it's quite a ways away from the Launch Pad here.". "Exactly HOW far away from here?". "About half a mile east.". "That's not that far". ""Say there, Van, could you show us the way?". "Goofy!". "What Donald, he knows more about this world than anyone one of us here.". "Yeah! Plus, you need a student I.d. to get into the facility without setting off an alarm! You need me!
BEEP! STUDENT: 1435: 9th GRADE: AND GUESTS: 1 hr BLOCK: CURRENT TIME IS 1750 hrs. ACCESS IS GRANTED! STAND BACK FOR AUTOMATIC DOOR OPENING!
The doors to the training center opened, and the others stepped inside. "Gawrsh, isn't this a fancy place Donald?". "It sure is. So futuristic! This is one world I truly like! Except for its … energetic… inhabitants.". As the conversation progressed, they were ambushed by monsters. "Ochus! Watch out for the tentacles, they have poisonous spores on them!" Van ran up to the first one and delivered a heavy blow to its head. As the Ochu fell, it clubbed Van in the back while he calculated the experience he gained. "ACK! MY BACK! Hey, I rhymed! OUCH!". "Van, I'll get to you!" screamed Donald. After Goofy and Donald finished off the monsters, they quickly went to Vans aid. "CURE!". As Donald said this, Van saw a green bolt and some leafs appear over where he got hit. "WOW! Was that some alien power thing?". "Not 'alien powers' but magic.". "Donald was court wizard back at Disney Castle!" said Goofy proudly. "WOAH! That's so cool Donald. Magic, WOW!". "Excuse us Van while I…TALK… to Goofy.". Donald then dragged Goofy into a bush, but Jiminy stayed behind to keep Van company. Jiminy was examining Sora's soul in crystal form and taking notes on other experiments he had been doing. "Hey, Jiminy, whatca doing'?". Jiminy tried franticly to hide the crystal. "Oh, me nothing. I'm not doing anything.". "Then what was that crystal?". Jiminy sighed. "I can't tell you.". "What? Oh, right the world order thingy right?". "No Van, this goes way beyond the world order.". "If it's not about the world order, then you can tell me right?". "Wrong Van. I'm sorry, but I CAN'T tell you what it was." "Oh, well…". Out of nowhere, Van was hit in the back of the head by something. "Hey, Van! Way to let your guard down!"
