Welcome to the Land of Prydain from; The Black Cauldron (1985)
Roxas and Xion teleported into a hill where this world is looking…strange. "This place is…" as Roxas exclaimed before Xion can finish the sentence, "Kinda…weird." They're on a hill which is…all black and the grounds are nothing but covered in brown dirt, and a red sky.
"Roxas, where are we?" Xion asked, then Roxas replied, "I don't know. But it sure looks spooky, and…" with Xion replying, "And creepy! Who, or what could've done this." As if she questioned in fear and shockness.
Later on, they've been walking for hours looking for shelter, but unfortunately were confronted but something behind them. A pack of the Heartless Soldiers showed up to attack. "Oh come on!" as Roxas shouted in anger before he and Xion wield their Keyblades. Both start to attack and, several more soldiers showed up.
After several minutes of fighting, it was all over; Roxas and Xion seemed to be very exhausted. "Come on! We still need to find the keyhole and get out of this, dark…and dank world that we should've never come in the first place!"
Meanwhile at The Ancient Castle…now being the fortress of its ruler;
We cut to a spooky hooded creep who's been summoning and creating a new army of the dead, who reveals to be…THE HORNED KING! He captured Taran and Princess Eilonwy.
He started to walk down the stairs to the bones and bodies of those soldiers that died ages ago. "Oh…yes! YES, my soldiers. The Black Cauldron is mine. Now I shall make you cauldron born."
Meanwhile, Creeper has Taran and Eilonwy tied into their arms hanging as prisoners. As he cackles and said, "You two came for the Black Cauldron. It will only cost you your life, if you climb inside!" And starts cackling again, before he sees his master come inside the room. "OH! Sire! Everything is….is…is…is ready, Sire!" As the Horned King steps in, "My, such a brave and handsome crew! A pig boy and a scullery maid. Perhaps it may interest you to see what fate has in store for you." He starts laughing, as then stares down to the dead soldiers to become his army of the dead. "Now, I call on my army of the dead! The Cauldron-born!" As he holds up one skeleton and puts it in the Black Cauldron. And later shouted, "ARISE, MY MESSENGERS OF DEATH! Our time…has…ARRIVED!"
As The Cauldron starts shaking, it unleashes the power of darkness, and green smoke starts to erupt and awakened the undead army. Horned King shouted, "My beloved worriers have come to life! All the dead of centuries past! Never has anyone created an army like this!" As they all stark walking from the entrance; Horned King shouted, "Go forth, my deathless warriors! Destroy all in your path!"
Creeper then jumps around in excitement and shouted, "Come, sire! We can get a better view from above!" Before he and Horned King start walking upstairs to his throne room window to watch his army as they walk out from the entrance to outside world.
"Oh Taran. I'm afraid it'll soon be over for us." As Eilonwy cried. Taran replied, "I…I hadn't planned it to end like this." Eilonwy then asked, "Oh…what do we do?"
Meanwhile, back with Roxas and Xion, they're walking from boulder to boulder, and see a large abandon castle that's extremely far from their position. They watch the undead army walking out, while green smoke is spreading to the world as well. "Uhh? What's going on here?" Roxas shouted.
Xion replied, "I don't know…but this is creepy!" Xion and Roxas then summon their Keyblades to run down from the hill to attack, but also stay out of sight. They walked into the forest, and head into their destination. Which is The Horned King's castle.
For several minutes, Roxas and Xion ran through the forest defeating several undead armies who happen to be coming back, since they're somewhat immortal and can sometimes get back up to fight more. "Roxas! It's no use! These monsters are indestructible and everywhere!" Xion shouted, Roxas replied, "We can't stay and keep fighting! We have to get to the castle!" They later start running away but the undead armies are still following them, while most of them are marching.
Roxas and Xion finally made it, but they are out of sight so that no more can see them. They both snuck into drain where it's a secret entrance. "Xion, stay put. We have to stay out of sight!" Roxas whispers. Xion replied, "Ok. But we have to stop whatever is creating all this chaos, and fine that keyhole." They later start walking inside
Meanwhile, the Horned King and Creeper are watching their army walking into the world to attack every being that stands in their way, Horned King said "Only moments away from victory! My greatest triumph!"
Creeper shouted, "We did it sire!" As he jumps around in excitement, but then an unknown voice shouted, "On the contrary!" As both Horned King and Creeper looked around in confusion. They later see a dark corridor appearing before them, and later reveals to be another Organization member; Luxord!
Horned King asked, "Who are you? And how dare you interrupt my victory?" Luxord replied, "Relax your majesty. I'm Luxord, and I'm only here to assist you." Horned King asked, "Assist? For what?" Luxord replied, "There are two Keyblade wielders coming to stop you and The Cauldron for creating your precious army. I'm here to give you what you exactly need in order to stop them." Horned King asked, "And what, would that be?"
Meanwhile with Roxas and Xion, they're finally out of the sewers and found the stairwell, "Ugh! This place is disgusting" As Xion shouted and felt in relief they finally climbed up the stairs.
Until then, they later found something, they found a little creature who's been running around to look for his friends. "Roxas look!" As Xion shouted, Roxas replied, "I see! Let's follow it." They both followed the creature.
A couple of minutes later, the creature, who happens to be Gurgi went to a hole and found Taran and Eilonwy tied up, "Master!" Taran looked up and shouted in happiness, "Gurgi? What are you doing here?"
Gurgi replied, "Gurgi sorry he always runs away when there's trouble. But Gurgi is here to untie his friends! And then we all leave this evil place." As he walks down to untie both Taran and Elionwy, he didn't realize that he was followed.
Roxas and Xion later broke a hole through the wall. They all looked up to Roxas and Xion, Taran asked, "What the? Who are you two?" Eilonwy asked, "Are you with the Horned King?"
Roxas and Xion looked at each other in confusion and then they both asked at the same time, "Horned King?" They later jumped down to free Taran and Eilonwy from their ropes, and Roxas said, "My name is Roxas, and this is Xion. We came to find the keyhole in this world. And stop whatever is creating these monsters. Can you tell me what's going on?" Taran replied, "This Black Cauldron is the reason." As they started to look at the Black Cauldron that's erupting green smoke and fog. He then continued, "The one who we know as the Horned King is the reason why this is happening. He wanted to create his undead army to take over this land."
Roxas then replied, "Then we'll destroy the Cauldron together." Then Roxas, Xion and Taran went off and Taran shouted, "Eilonwy, you and Gurgi leave this place! We'll stop the Cauldron!" As they head on, Eilonwy replied, "But Taran, that's impossible! If you go in there, it will destroy you!"
Xion replied, "What?" Taran replied, "I'm sorry, Eilonwy. But I must do it!" Roxas then shouted, "Wait! Let me give it a shot!" Roxas then summons his Oblivion Keyblade and starts to cast magic to see if it'll work.
He gave one fireball shot, nothing works. "Blast!" As Roxas shouted in anger. Taran said, "Magic can't work, Roxas! I'll jump in there to stop it!" Gurgi then jumps infront of both Roxas and Taran and shouted, "WAIT, Master! Gurgi not let you jump into Cauldron!"
Taran shouted, "Gurgi, get out of my way!" Gurgi replied, "Please, Master! Not go into evil Cauldron." Taran said, "But if I don't, we're all lost! Please get out of my way!" Gurgi then replied, "No! Gurgi not let his friend die. Taran has many friends. Gurgi has no friends." Taran then shouted, "Gurgi! No! Don't jump!" Gurgi replied, "Goodbye Master." As he jumps in, Taran shouted, "NO!"
He, Roxas and the others watched Gurgi jumps into the Black Cauldron, and caused an explosion which sucks all the green smoke inside.
Meanwhile outside, Horned King and Creeper watched their undead army stopping and all died or vanished into dust. Creeper shouted, "Oh…sire! Sire, look! Something's wrong! They're…they're all dying!"
Horned King shouted, "Impossible!" Horned King chokes Creeper and starts walking down while shouting, "It must be those fools this man told us about!"
Meanwhile, Roxas, Xion, Taran and Eilonwy walked down the stairs and see the Cauldron sucking up all the smoke inside, they all know that the Horned King is angry and is coming to the room for an attack.
By the time they are about to escape, The Horned King came in to their position. "You!" As he glares stare at Taran, Creeper replied, "That Pig boy!" Horned King then looks at Roxas and Xion who summoned their keyblades. "So! You must be the ones who are trying to foil with my plans!"
Roxas replied, "Yeah right! Well your reign is over! Because we took out an army of monsters, and we'll take you down as well." Horned King replied, "Oh really? Well, do you think you'll stand a chance against me. Cause I have a much stronger power than what you could possibly imagine. I was instructed by an old friend of yours who wants me to deliver a message for you." He later summons a deadly scythe pulls up a card from his pocket.
Roxas and Xion saw the card he was holding and they are completely baffled, Roxas shouted, "That card!" Xion shouted, "IT CAN'T BE!" Horned King replied, "That's right! He gave me instructions of destroying you! And now, it'll be my pleasure to take you down!"
Roxas and Xion later went out for the attack on Horned King, while Creeper cowards away from the castle and was never seen again.
After 6 minutes of fighting. Roxas kicks the Horned King to the Black Cauldron where it will drain his life, "NO! You will not have me!" As he shouted to the Cauldron, "My powers can't be destroyed! CURSE YOU!" After sucking up his entire body and died in the Cauldron. It later summons the keyhole. Roxas uses his Oblivion Keyblade to close. Xion shouted, "We did it!" As she smiles and Roxas, Taran then asked, "But…Gurgi's…" the castle starts to rumble. And Roxas shouted, "We have to get out of here!" They all escaped as the castle finally crumbled into pieces.
As they watch the Castle all gone, Taran is left depressed after watching Gurgi died in the Cauldron. Later on, they found the Black Cauldron onshore…empty. It later turns into Gurgi…who's unconscious and alive.
"Gurgi!" A Taran shouted when he walked to him. He looks at him all depressed thinking he's dead. But as the sun rises, Gurgi wakes up.
Eilonwy shouted, "He's alive!" Taran, Roxas and Xion felt happy to see he's alive. And Gurgi shouted, "Gurgi's alive!" As he starts hugging both Taran and Eilonwy.
Roxas and Xion then looked at them feeling all happy to see a good reunion, and start walking. Taran walks to them and shouted, "Oi!" Roxas and Xion turned around as they looked at Taran, "Thank you!" Roxas and Xion smiled and Roxas replied, "Your welcome!" Eilonwy asked, "Would you guys come visit us one day?" Xion smiles and replied, "We'd love to…maybe one day." As they start walking, Taran, Eilonwy and Gurgi start waving their goodbyes, before Roxas and Xion teleported back into their Gummiship.
Meanwhile, somewhere out in the distance;
Luxord, who's been waiting uphill summons Jafar for their plans of using Horned King has failed. "Lord Jafar, I assured you that the plan of using Horned King to take down Roxas had failed. But the second keyhole has been sealed." Jafar replied with a smirk, "Excellent! Now, we'd just need six more to go." As he starts to walk into the corridor, Luxord asked, "Tell me. What was your plan with all of this?" Jafar replied, "Why don't you ask Xigbar yourself?" Before Jafar teleported away.
Luxord then gives a smirk and said, "We'll see about that…" before teleporting away.
