Maleficent and Pete were lead into the mountain lair of the Kuu Tribe. The duo were then directed to a large wooden platform overlooking a dark opening that went deeper into the mountain. A few torches were lite as several Kuu Warriors stood nearby and on the platform there was a older looking caveman with a beard wearing a makeshift green and red tunic with a blue cape and a grey horned headdress. A wooden pillar stood by the old man. Maleficent wondered if this man was Odo. She used her highly powered senses on him, but didn't detect much darkness or any other power from him.
"Me Kuu Chief. Who you?" Said the old man.
"I am Maleficent and this is Pete, we seek the one called Odo." Said Maleficent.
"Odo. Odo. Odo." Chanted the Warriors before the chief waved at them to be quiet.
There was a loud roar from opening that shook the chamber. Maleficent cast her senses to it and felt a great darkness from below. That had to be Odo. Maleficent smiled as Pete looked a bit nervous. Before anything could be said a red haired man and a couple of Warriors came onto the scene bringing in a tied up and gagged woman with magenta hair. The red haired man proudly presented the captive before having her tied to the pillar.
"What's all this about?" Asked Pete.
"I believe they intend to sacrifice that girl to Odo." Said Maleficent.
"Odo...going to eat that girl?" Asked Pete.
"Most likely. We shall speak to him, once he has feed, otherwise we will have to consider give him something else to eat." Said Maleficent.
Pete shuddered as he thought about what kind of monster Odo must be.
Elsewhere Sora and his group had entered the mountain and had stopped to let Pogo sniff the area to tell them where to go. As that was happening Donald and Goofy took notice of a pair of cavemen several yards away walking down a narrow pathway and coming across a hole in their way. The two cavemen appeared to be father and son. The hole they had come across wasn't too wide, so the father laid down across it to create a makeshift bride for his son. The son took a deep breath and ran across his father to get to the other side. It worked, but unfortunately the father lost his grip and fell down the hole with a scream. The son ran over to the hole and looked down horrified before wailing very loudly.
"Dada!" Said the son before he took off running and vanished from sight.
Pogo got the scent and the group took off running again. They fought a few Heartless and Kuu Warriors along the way before they reached the large sacrifice platform, where they were greeted by the sight of the Kuu Chief, Zaki, several Kuu Warriors, Maleficent, and Pete. They also saw Beru tied to a wooden pillar.
"Maleficent!" Yelled Sora.
"Pete!" Yelled Goofy and Riku.
"We meet again. Maybe this time you'll do me the favor of being destroyed." Said Maleficent.
"You were the one who sent those Replicas after us weren't you." Said Riku.
"That's right and we got plenty more where those came from." Said Pete.
"Why are you here?" Asked Sora.
"I'm interested in the evil that plagues this world. Power like that could be very useful to me." Said Maleficent.
"Not if we put a stop to it." Said Riku.
"Oh I think Odo might do you in. He sounds like quite a monster." Said Pete.
Odo let out a mighty roar from below shacking the chamber.
"What was that?!" Asked Goofy nervously.
"That had to be Odo." Said Sora.
"From the sound of that roar, Odo might be some kind of dinosaur." Said Riku.
"Dinosaur!" Said Donald looking nervous as well.
The Kuu Chief stamped his feet angrily getting the Warriors to surround the intruders as well as summon a few Heartless. Zaki also stepped in ready to battle.
"Should we join them?" Asked Pete.
"No let's let the locals deal with them." Said Maleficent.
Sora and his friends pulled out their weapons and began fighting their way through the enemies towards the platform, but Pogo only had eyes for Zaki. Pogo had a great deal of anger towards Zaki for kidnapping Beru and he was determined to make him pay. Zaki faced Pogo on the platform, as the Kuu Chief coward behind the pillar Beru was tied to and Pete and Maleficent watched from the sidelines near the platform.
Zaki growled as he fought with a spear and thrusted it at Pogo who dodged to avoid it and then he leaped at Zaki and tried to hit him with his club, but Zaki knocked him back with a kick. The red haired man tried to stab down at Pogo, but he rolled out of the way and quickly jumped to his feet, swinging his club and striking Zaki in the side with his club. Zaki staggered back in pain and Pogo leaped at him to strike him again, but Zaki dodged out of the way and grabbed the green haired boy. Pogo reared his head back and headbutted Zaki in the face! Zaki released Pogo with a dazed look on his face before he staggered back and then he fell to the ground on his back stunned.
"Aaaaaaaa!" Cheered Pogo as he thrusted his hands up in the air in victory.
"Pogo!" Cheered Beru.
"Way to go Pogo!" Said Sora.
At the sight of their best warrior losing the fight left the rest of the Kuu Tribe and they all backed away. Sora and his friends finished off the Heartless as they went onto the platform to join Pogo, who was untying Beru.
"Now let's deal with these two." Said Riku as he pointed his keyblade at Maleficent and Pete.
Before anything else could happen there was a much louder roar from Odo down below and then the whole platform began to shake violently before it exploded to bits! Sora, Riku, Donald, Goofy, Pogo, Gori, Zaki, and the Kuu Chief all fell into the chasm below!
"It seems Odo wants to deal with them himself. This should be interesting." Said Maleficent with a wicked smirk.
"Someone is about to become dinner." Chuckled Pete.
To be continued.
