Sora found a place to land the gummi ship away from any prying eyes and he and the rest of his friends got out and got their first real taste and look at prehistoric Earth. It was a fairly lush land with open rocky plains. It reminded Sora of the worlds Deep Jungle and the Pride Lands. He told his friends about this and Donald and Goofy agreed, but Riku just shrugged, since he had never visited those worlds. The team set out to explore the lands and see if they could find any leads to what was causing trouble in this era. They had walked for roughly twenty minutes, when they heard a commotion up ahead and raced to go investigate it.

They came across a clearing, where a group of the same kind of cavemen and a group of Powerwild Heartlesses surrounded a odd trio of two humans and a ape.

One human was male. He had a long wild mane of green hair, along with a stone headpiece worn like a headband. The boy had big, bushy black eyebrows, and relatively large brown eyes. He wore a typical caveman outfit, a leopard print with one shoulder strap, leaving one side of his chest exposed, tightened with a black string belt, he also wore stone anklets around the bottom of his legs. The boy was armed with a big bone club that he used to fight against the surrounding enemies.

The other human was female. She was tall, slim cave girl with long straight magenta hair. Her clothing incorporates seashells, including a skimpy bathing suit-like outfit made out of scallop shells, and a headdress composed of a large conch. The girl appeared to be unarmed and stood behind the boy and the ape.

The ape was a stout, hulking figure covered with reddish-brown fur and a bushy three-pronged brow. He had large lips and big inferior fangs. The ape wore a thin blue loin cloth, leaving his rear end exposed. He fought at the enemy cavemen and Heartless with his bare hands.

"We got to help them!" Said Sora summoning his keyblade

"Let's do this!" Said Riku conquering up his own keyblade.

Donald pulled out his staff and Goofy pulled out his shield and the four heroes sprang into action and began to attack the cavemen and the Heartlesses taking them by surprise. The green haired caveman and his two companions were momentarily surprised by the arrival of their rescuers, but they quickly shook off their surprise and joined the battle. In a few minutes all the Heartless were defeated. Donald used a thunder spell on the enemy cavemen that caused them to scream and run away.

With the enemies defeated Sora and his team faced the trio they had just rescued. The girl was the first to respond.

"Me Beru. Thank you for save."

"Me Pogo. This Gori. You fight good." Said the cave boy as he indicated himself and the ape.

Gori nodded his head. Sora and his friends introduced themselves.

"I'm Sora."

"I'm Riku.

"Donald."

"Goofy."

After introductions were made Riku decided to ask some questions.

"Who were those men and why were they after you?"

"Kuu Tribe take orders from god." Said Pogo.

"God?" Asked Sora.

"Odo. Demand sacrifice. Make monsters to help Kuu Tribe get sacrifice." Said Beru.

"Whose the sacrifice?" Asked Goofy.

Beru pointed to herself.

"That's terrible!" Said Donald.

"We can't let them do that! We need to find this Odo and put a stop to him." Said Sora.

"I agree. This Odo guy sounds like he's the cause of the disturbance in this era as well as the one controlling the Heartless." Said Riku.

"But how do we get there?" Asked Goofy.

"Me take you." Said Pogo.

"Alright. Lead the way Pogo." Said Sora.

The seven of them headed off North, unbeknownst to them a few members of the Kuu Tribe had been spying on them from a nearby cliff along with the tribe's best warriors, Zaki.

Zaki was a tall muscular man with red hair. He had a near-complete lack of clothing, exposing his strong build, his only attire was a live lizard worn around his groin as a pseudo-loincloth. Zaki carried a spear and wore a fang and bone necklace of various colors. He had a long scar over his right eye.

Zaki spied on the group of seven that was heading towards where the Kuu Tribe and Odo were. He had been tasked with retrieve in the girl that was meant to be a sacrifice to Odo. Zaki had sent his fellow tribes men and the Heartless to get the girl from the boy and the ape, but then the strangers interfered. He decided to tail the group and wait for the right moment to take the girl. Zaki was a confident and skilled warrior who had fought many strong opponents in his life, but the strangers had demonstrated strong battle skills as well as abilities that might be too strong for him to handle on his own. He needed to be patient and wait for the right opportunity to accomplish his task and alert the rest of the tribe and Odo about the strangers coming.

Zaki and the Kuu Tribe warriors headed down the cliff and after their target.
