Hey everybody, I am back with a new chapter for the story. So last time, we finished the first world, and now we are moving onto the second one, Beast's Castle :)
Now this world will be slightly different, Xaldin will still be part of it, but he will not be the boss of this world. I have plans for Xaldin indeed ;)
So this might be two chapters long rather than three, it totally depends because I am still going to show the captured heroes as well.
So if this story is successful, who knows, I might turn this into a series! But it depends if I feel like it, I mean I know I'm 7 chapters in, but I got a bunch of ideas for the future...does that make me bad for planning ahead?
To RonaldM40196867: Damn right she does. Yeppers. Thanks, you too! I like the setting itself like it's like a steampunk-ish fantasy world, I love how practically everything is a gun as well. Either Jaune or Ruby.
To triscythe59: Never read it before.
To IAML3GND: Same, and yes we will.
To Guest: I loved it, definitely one of Disney's most underrated movies. This is sad because the art style is so good, with animation that was good especially in the early 200's.
To Gamelover41592: Ha, me too :D
To CommanderZer0: Thanks, I did want Sun to get his moment as well. Yea, I was trying to figure out if I should have it play as the movie or do something original, and Jaune saved Mulan...well that was the get-go :) What do you mean, drag on? I know, and this...this was one of the things I struggled with, because originally, Shan-Yu was still going to be himself, but have a bunch of Heartless monsters based on the Four Evils of Chinese Mythology at his side. In Chinese folklore, the Qiong Qi represents deviousness and instigates war, and since Shan-Yu is a warmonger, it made sense to have him be one. Jaune showing his strategic side will also come to play later on. It was fun to write Chi-Fu getting his comeuppance.
To eventyraren: Thanks :)
Well anyway, let's dive into the Beast's Castle!

World That Never Was/Cell
BAM
Yang kept on hitting the cell that was holding her and the others, but the bars were still hard as nails and not bending in the slightest. "LET. US. GO!" She yelled angrily.
"Yang, stop!" Weiss said as she tried to go up to her. "Screaming is not helping anything!" She tried to calm herself, but Yang would not listen, rather just hitting on the cells, hoping to dent the bars a bit.
Everyone had tried to get her to stop but to no avail. As she was still banging on the cell, Oscar was still in his own mind.
"Are you sure we've seen these guys before?" He asked Ozpin.
"I...I don't" Ozpin said. "All I know is that those coats look familiar, but I just can't remember where I saw them before." He said in the boy's mind. "Give me some more time, and I'm sure that it will come back to me."
As the two were conversing or themselves, Yang was now angrily still punching the wall. "WHERE'S RUBY TELL ME!" She shouted
"Hey!" Nora called out to her with a frown on her face. "Our fearless leaders are with her, so I know they're alright, along with the monkey boy!" She said to her.
Yang then glared at her. "So what?" She harshly asked the hammer-wielding girl, who looked a bit shocked at the blond girl's behavior.
"Well, we traveled with Ruby for months, so Jaune and Sun should be taking care of her!" Nora said to her.
Yng scoffed. "Oh, so perfect! Mr. Vomit Boy protecting my sister as if she is a damsel in distress! Amazing!" She said with sarcasm.
"Hey!" Nora said, now getting pissed off by Yang's attitude. "Don't forget that he saved Weiss, so you should be damn grateful!" The hammer-wielding girl says to her with anger.
"Guys, please!" Weiss said, but she was being ignored as the two powerhouses kept on arguing and arguing.
Blake gulped a bit as she went right up to Yang, the blond girl might not be happy...but she still needed to calm herself down. "Yang?" Blake asked as she then gently touched Yang's left shoulder. "Just take it easy, alright? Ruby is definitely fine, and Jaune and Sun are with her, so I bet-
SLAP
As soon as that slap went off, the whole area went silent. Blake then gently took her right hand and held it to her cheek, where it was stinging in front of the slap that Yang had given her. The cat Faunus looked shocked and Yang looked angry.
"YANG! WHAT THE HELL!?" Weiss shouted at her, making Yang snap her head.
"What? She thinks she can tell me to calm down?" she asked, now heated up as her semblance was going off now as her eyes turned red. "She left us! Abandoned us all! And she thinks she can tell me that Ruby is fine?" Yang then turned to Blake with a heated glare. "You don't know shit!" she said as she then stomped off to another part of her cell to take time to herself, but not before Hitting the cell again.
Weiss looked at her go with concern on her face, and then turned to Blake. "Blake, are you alright?" she asked her. But Blake..well...she didn't say anything but just kept on feeling the sting on her cheek, and a tear went down her right eye.
"She's….she's right…" Blake said as she then walked off to be by herself. With Weiss going after her, and the remains of JNPR are looking on with concern.
"Ren? Tell me that we're going to be ok?" she asked him, but the ninja looked down with concern.
"Honestly, I can't answer that, Nora." He said. "But wherever they are, Jaune, Ruby, and Sun are alright...hopefully we can come up with a way to get out of here soon." He said. "But for now, we can't be arguing amongst ourselves at a time like this." He said to her,
Nora gulped. "But what about-"
"For now, let's leave them alone, they need to calm down and then we'll talk," Ren said to her, as Nora then sighed and rested her head on his lap, making Ren rub it with affection and looked up. "Jaune, Ruby, Sun. I hope you guys are ok…" He thought with concern.
Qrow was sitting against a wall in his own thoughts. "Who the hell are these guys? And what do they want with us?" He thought. "Ruby...please be alright."
World Lane
Sora's party was driving through the world lane and discussing the world they were just in.
"I still can't believe we were in a new world!" Ruby said with excitement. "Just think of other places we are going to see!" She said to the others, who nodded their heads.
"But don't forget Ruby," Jaune said to her. "We are also trying to find out teammates as well." He said to her,
Ruby sighed. "I know...but the question is...where were they taken to?" She asked. "For all we know, those coat guys' hideout could be anywhere in the world we visit!"
"Guys," They both turned to see Sora looking at them. "We'll find them, trust me." He said to them,
"Speaking of," Goofy said. " What are your teams like anyway?" He asked them all along with Sun.
Ruby smiled. "Well, my team is super close, there's my older sister, Yang, my bestie Weiss, and my other friend, Blake!" She told them all about her team, their weapons, and their adventures, and it made everyone on the ship surprised.
"So you got formed by meeting eye to eye in a forest?" Sora asked her, making Ruby nod her head. "Hey, kinda like us, right guys?" He asked Donald and Goofy, who somewhat laughed and nodded their heads in agreement.
"Yea, well, my team...we….were not very cordial, well mainly Weiss," Ruby said. "She is nice but back then..she was more stubborn, an ice queen as we called her." She said with a small smile. "But eventually we got along on better terms….and after the attack at Beacon...I was afraid I would never see them again." She said with sadness. "And now we just got back together and they were taken again…" Her eyes began to water a bit, she was so very worried for them all.
"Ruby," Oswald said as he went over to place his hands on her hand. "We're going to find them, all of them."
"He's right, sweetie," Ortensia said to her as she rubbed her shoulder, making Ruby give a sad smile.
"Thank you." She said to them.
Jaune sighed a bit as he looked at them all. "My team met eye to eye also...we...we got along way better than Ruby's team did." He said with a small chuckle, a chuckle that Ruby returned a bit, it was true, JNPR did get along at first better than RWBY did. "We are more than a team, we are family...Nora and Ren..they lost their parents in a Grimm attack, and Pyrrha and I were there for them….then the attack at Beacon happened….and Pyrrha was taken from us….from me." He said as he then unsheathed part of the sword and looked at his reflection. "Ruby traveled with us as we walked to Haven to get more answers….and we were known as Team RNJR. After they were reunited, we were happy for them." As he said that, he was partially lying, a part of him was not happy that RNJR split up because it was only him, Nora, and Ren...no Pyrrha.
Goofy saw Jaune tremble a bit and walked over to pat him gently on the shoulder. "Easy there pal. We'll find them all." Jaune looked up at the dog knight and sighed, he wanted to believe him, he just wanted to.
Sun then sat down. "I lead Team SSSN," He explained. "Consists of myself, Scarlet David, Sage Ayna, and Neptune Vasillias." He said to them all. "So far they are ok, they are possibly back at Haven...although more likely attempting to transfer to someplace else…" He said.
"Why aren't they with you?" Sora asked him with a raised eyebrow.
Sun then looked at him and grinned a bit. "They're fine without me, they can manage." He said with a smile on his face.
Sora and the rest of the group were sorta surprised by the way Sun had said that, it made them think that Sun thought they were fine and he didn't contact them at all...as far as they know. They would have to have a talk with him at some point…
"Sora!" Chip's voice came upon the speaker. "The New World is coming up right away!" This made everyone stop discussing things and go out to the windows to see what world they were coming up to. As they got closer to the world they saw what it looked like, it looked like a giant castle of some kind, with a forest on the left side, and a village on the right side. "The world is called...Beast's Castle." Chip said to them all.
The name kinder surprised everyone. Beast's Castle? Meaning...a beast? But then Sora, Donald, and Goofy smile.
"Beast?" Sora asked. "Alright, we get to see the Beast again!" He said with a giant pump in the air. This prompted the rest of the others to look at him with confusion, Beast? What was he talking about? Sora then noticed the others' confusion and grinned a bit. "Don't worry, you guys are going to like him." He said with grins, although it still made some of them look a bit curious and a bit nervous as well.
Beast's Castle/Entrance Hall
Sora's party had walked right inside the castle and looked around. It looked like any castle you would expect to find in a fantasy book...sorta, but there was nobody there, to say the least.
"Woah!" Sora exclaimed. "So Beast lives here?" He asked with amazement in his eyes.
"Jeeze, he's living in style!" Donald said with shock in his voice.
"Although...it does look rather gloomy though," Goofy said with some uncertainty. Everyone else was just looking around, to be honest, they were a bit nervous about this so-called beast, but if Sora trusted it, then so could they.
"*ROAR*" A loud thundering, a booming roar sounded off, spooking everybody...well Stitch immediately jumped into Sora's arms and Ortensia went and hugged Oswald a bit tight, now feeling a bit nervous.
"Wh-what was that?" Ortensia asked with fright in her voice as everyone (Sans Sora, Donald, and Goofy) got out their weapons.
"Heartless maybe?" Jaune asked as he scanned the entire area with a sharp eye.
"No…" Goofy said as he scratched his head a bit. "It can't be Heartless….it sounds familiar though…" He said, then the roar happened again, making everyone shake a bit from the loudness of it.
"WAIT!" Sora exclaimed loudly to them all. "I know that sound, it's the Beast!" He said with a smile, a fact that Donald shook his head in agreement.
"You sure?" Ortensia asked, still a bit nervous. And Sora nodded.
"Ortensia, don't worry, that goes for the rest of you! The Beast might look and sound scary, but he is a nice guy, he helped us a lot on our last adventure when we were in Hollow Bastion." He said with that smile on his face.
But despite his claims, the ones not familiar were still a bit nervous about this. But since this was Sora they were listening too...well, they would have to trust his judgment.
"GAH!" Everyone turned to see Ruby pointing at a Shadow Heartless crawling on the ground towards a nearby room. "Follow it!" she said as she and the rest of the heroes followed the Heartless.
They then followed the heartless inside a small room on the east side. As soon as they entered, the place looked a bit...deserted, almost as if the Heartless wasn't even in there at all.
"Where'd it go?" Son asked as they all entered to look around. It wasn't anything too fancy, but it had a simple fireplace and nice decorations. But there was one particular object in there that brought Donald, Ruby, Oswald, and Stitch's attention, it was a pretty-looking rose, glowing and in a jar sitting on a table.
"So pretty…" Ruby said as she and the other three walked a bit closer to get a good look at the rose, seemingly being entranced by its glow. But as they got a bit closer, A Shadow started to form from the ground and got right in Donald's face, spooking the duck out a bit, while also getting him out of his trance. Soon everyone noticed that they were surrounded by a bunch of Shadow Heartless and everyone got out their weapons.
1 minute later….
Due to the only Heartless being Shadows, the group was able to take them all down with ease, but they kept on coming.
"Do these guys ever give up?" Sun asked as he twirled one of his nunchucks.
"Definitely not!" Oswald said as he twirled his keyblade around.
"SOMEONE HELP US!" Donald suddenly shouted.
BOOM
The doors to the room had opened up with force, and a figure had entered. The figure was a large creature with brown fur, wearing dark blue pants, and nothing but a purple cape. He also had a horn on his head. That was the Beast.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy all smiled at their old friend, but the others looked nervous though."That's...the Beast?" Jaune asked with some nervousness in his voice. Sure he dealt with Grimm, but this was something else entirely, and he was not the only one either. Ruby was shaking a bit as her scythe rattled a bit in her hands, Sun dropped his nunchucks and looked with wide eyes, Oswald was just shocked and Ortensia was a bit scared. Stitch however showed no fear and growled at him as if he was an enemy.
Then the Heartless all leaped at the Beast, but the creature proved to be somewhat untouchable as he simply used his claws to slash at any Heartless that came for him, and when he did, they all landed on either side and faded away. After all that, Beast then started walking slowly in the room.
"That was great!" Sora said as he got up a bit close to him, happy to see his old friend again after so long. But Beast didn't seem to recognize Sora, as he then swiped Sora away, making the boy go flying backward.
"Wha-?" Donald exclaimed as the others were a bit shocked, but Donald was not paying attention and so as Beast walked by him he also swiped his arm, making Donald dog backward a bit too, and unfortunately, Goofy and the others got in the way.
After he hit them. Beast walked up to the small table where the rose was at and he picked it up, smiling as he caressed it as he then began to make his way out of the room. The others all got up and rubbed the areas where they hurt and turned to see where the Beast was walking out.
"Well, so much for a howdy-doo." Jaune sarcastically said as he rubbed his hip.
"Hmm…" Goofy said. "You think he forgot about us? I mean with Jaune and the others I understand he never met them...but what about us?" He asked.
Sora looked confused and a bit concerned. "I don't know, but with Heartless around, something must be up though." He said.
"Why'd he have to do that?" Donald asked as he rubbed the side of his head where it hurt, while also having a look of anger and annoyance.
"Well, like Sora said," Ruby said. "Something must be going on if there are Heartless rounds.." She said with concern. "Maybe we should follow him?" She suggested, this prompted them to nod their heads and walk out of the room.
As they made their way back into the entrance hall, they all looked around to see where the Beast might've gone too, but unfortunately, they lost track of him.
"Great," Sun said. "Now where do we go from here?"
"Hmm." Sora pondered a bit.
"Hey, guys!" Donald said to them, getting their attention. "I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I'm pretty sure I saw a woman on top of the stairs on the right." He said, and everyone then looked at the stairs in question to see nothing there. "Well, she was...but I guess not now." the duck mage said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Wait a minute," Goofy said to them all. "If the Beast is here...then that must mean that Belle is here too!" He said.
Sora then realized what Goofy meant and his face lit up a bit. "Yes, you may be right, Goofy. Belle might know what's going on with the Beast." He said.
"Who's Belle?" Oswald asked with a confused look.
Sora looked at him. "Og yea, you guys aren't familiar." He said. "Well, remember how Donald, Goofy, and I were fighting Ansem? Well, during that time, he captured seven princesses of light to use for hsi plan. Belle was one of those princesses captured, but we were able to save her and the rest of them as well." He said.
Jaune and the others were surprised at hearing this, there was a lot they wanted to know…" Dude, you need to tell us more about your adventures!" Sun said with a smile. "It sounds exciting."
Sora gave a sheepish grin. "Yea, I guess...anyway, let's head up the stairs and see if we can find Belle." He said to them all, making them nod their heads. As they walked up the stairs, they didn't notice a man in black with his arms crossed at hsi back and looking at them all from afar of the room.
The East Wing
The group then walked up the stairs and into the east wing of the castle. Thankfully there were no Heartless around to fight, so they got spared the trouble of taking any out. As they were approaching the end of the hall, they noticed a door right up ahead on the right side. After they got to the door, all of them got cautious.
Sora then put hsi index finger to his lips and told everyone present to shush, prompting Goofy to close his mouth. But Donald...well, Donald didn't want to do it, he was going to go in there to investigate either way.
"I'll do it!" The mage boasted as he then started to walk backward. Even though to the others...this was not a good idea.
"Donald, I really wouldn't-" but Jaunes protests were ignored as the duck then hollered and ran right for the door, but in a surprising turn of events, the door opened right by itself and Donald just ran right in and fell on the floor, his beak going flat.
The rest of the group had peeked their heads in the doorway to see the duck lying on the ground as beads of sweat went down their heads. "I did try to warn him…" Jaune deadpanned as the others nodded their heads.
But Donald simply lifted his head off the floor and looked annoyed. "Hey, what's the big idea?" He exclaimed, and that's when they all got a look at a figure in the room. She looked to be a woman around 17 or 18 years old. She wore a white shirt, white apron, and a blue dress that was over the shirt, she also wore black shoes, and had her brown hair down and tied with a blue bow. This was Belle, one of the Seven Princesses of Heart.
When Belle saw Donald, she then smiled. "Donald!" she exclaimed as she then picked up the duck mage and hugged him, making the duck shocked and squirm. "I'm happy to see you here." She said as she took a glance at Sora and Goofy and smiled even bigger. "Sora, Goofy!" She exclaimed again.
This made Sora and Goofy smile and wave, and Donald forced her to put him down, with Belle did sheepishly and Donald's eyes were shaking a bit. She then got a good look at Jaune and the others and looked surprised. "Oh, are these new friends of yours?" she asked, making Sora smile and nod.
"I'm Jaune Arc." Jaune said with a smile.
"Ruby Rose!" Ruby said with a grin.
"Sun Wukong, sup?" Sun said with a cheeky grin.
"Oswald The Lucky Rabbit."
"I'm his wife, Ortensia." The cat said with a smile and wave.
"Stitch!" Stitch said as he then gave an….interesting wave. "Heiii!" He said weirdly, making the party raise eyebrows a bit.
Belle was a bit put off, but still, she smiled. "Well, it's very nice to meet all of you." She said, "And I'm So happy to see you three again as well." She said to Sora, Donald, and Goofy, who smiled at her.
"So..where's the Beast?" Donald asked her.
But when he did, Belle then gave a small frown. "Oh, he must be in the West Wing, that's where his room is at. We...don't really talk like we used to." She said to them sadly.
"Did something happen?" Sora asked with concern.
"Well yea," Belle said to them. "Isn't that why you're all here?" She asked them.
Sora and his companions didn't really know what to say, that really wasn't the exact reason why they came there. "Well, not exactly," Goofy said. "But we'll still help out, right guys?" He asked them, making them all smile and nod their heads.
"So, Beast won't talk to you or something?" Sun asked with his arms crossed. "What, did you two get in a fight or something?" He asked.
Belle then crossed her own arms and took it to think. "No, I...I just don't know...he has been acting very strange lately." She then sighed a bit. "I think the servants of the castle would know more about it than me, but unfortunately, Beast locked them in the dungeons…" She said,
When she said that, this made the group go wide-eyed, not only did they hear that the Beast apparently has servants in the castle, but even more shocked that he locked them all in a dungeon somewhere in the castle!
"I wish I could help them, but…" Belle said with worry in her voice. This prompted the party to look at eachother and nod their heads in agreement.
"Where's this dungeon?" Oswald asked her.
Belle then turned to look at them to see the determination in their eyes. "You can get to the undercroft from the West Hall, the dungeon should be down there." She said to them all. "You're going to free them, aren't you?"
"Why wouldn't we?" Ruby asked her with her arms crossed, making Belle somewhat grin a bit.
"Right, just be careful...all of you," she said to them. Making Sora give her the thumbs up.
"Alright, let's go guys!" He said and they all went out of the room.
(Eyecatch featuring Jaune standing on a hill, with an image of Pyrrha smiling in the sky.)
(Eyecatch featuring Belle, Ruby, and Ortenisa, curling the Beast's fur, making the monster look grumpy with his arms crossed.)
West Hall
As the group made their way to the hall, they had to encounter more Heartless, including ones that possessed the castle stone statues, but the group easily put an end to them. As soon as they got to their destination, they saw that the west hall had massive amounts of suits of armor carrying weapons and all lined up, almost everywhere.
"Ok, this guy really loves his suits of armor, huh?" He asked, making some of them nod their heads in agreement. "Now where do we go again?" He asked.
"Belle said that we needed to find an undercroft..whatever that is.." Ruby said with some confusion on what the undercroft is.
"A dungeon must be some kind of undercroft," Sora said. "We just need to look for a door that looks like a stone of some kind." He said, and with that, everyone had spread out to search for a particular door.
As they continued to look around, they all began to wonder why Breast would lock up the servants, and to top it off, HOW did he get servants?
"Maybe he moved in after the original owner died or something?" Jaune asked.
"Or wait!" Ruby exclaimed. "Maybe he is actually a prince!" As she said that, everyone was looking at her as if she was crazy or something. Ruby noticed the looks and fumed a bit. "Just think about it, I read about it in a book when I was a child. A prince was cursed into becoming a monster, then eventually he found someone to care for him...and fell in love...and when their lips touched..the spell was broken." As Ruby was done, her eyes became dreamy a bit and sighed.
Ortensia smiled at the girls' thoughts, but some of the guys looked with raised eyebrows.
"Sounds like someone's been reading too many fairy tales," Donald said with a smug smile on his face.
Ruby then glared at the duck with a noticeable blush on her face. "Zip it you….you…..duck!" Yea, her attempt at an insult didn't work for Donald at all, and Donald knew it as well.
"Look!" Stitch said, getting all of their attention (and also preventing a fight) they all looked where he was pointing at and it appeared to be a stone-looking door being blocked by a piece of furniture, it looked like a wardrobe that had a cream-like color to it, the doors were green, and the handles to the stars down was yellow.
"Alright, way to go, Stitch!" Ruby said as she picked him up and hugged him, making the small alien chuckle and nuzzle his head into Ruby's face. The group then went on over to the hairdresser and took a look.
"Huh, strange," Oswald said. "Who would leave a wardrobe here?" He asked with a tilt of his head. But that made the others shrug their shoulders as Sora then went to the side and pushed the dresser forward, after a few good pushes, he was able to get to the door.
"Alright!" Sora said with a smile and turned to his party. "Now let's all get it."
"Excuse me!" Then the party stopped, turned slowly, and took a glance at the dress, who had now suddenly grown a face on the top. "DO you mind?" She asked with some anger at them all. "Don't you know it's impolite to disturb someone while they're trying to sleep?" She asked.
But the party just stood there...all of them looking at the wardrobe with eyes wide as saucers. "The wardrobe is talking, the wardrobe is talking!" Ruby said repeatedly.
"We know!" Donald said with him gulping a bit.
Sora looked at the others and told them to play it cool, then he turned to the wardrobe again. "Uh, we're sorry...uh..miss Wardrobe, ma'am." He said sheepishly. "But we were sent here by Belle to rescue some servants and all that." He said, with the rest of the party nodding their heads.
The wardrobe looked at them all suspiciously, but then she gave a smile. "Oh, well why didn't you say so?" She asked them. "Sorry if I was rude to you before." She said with an apologetic tone of voice.
"It's fine," Jaune said to her. "But if you don't mind me asking...how are you talking?" He asked.
The wardrobe looked at him. "It's totally fine, dear. But I must get back to Belle. The others will explain more about it." She said to them. "But I will leave you to this, it is the result of a curse put on this castle." She said before then walked...somehow, away and down the hall.
As they saw her leave, the group all glanced at each other. "So...she said this castle is under a curse or something?" Sora asked.
"Yeah...I guess so," Sun said.
"Just like in the stories!" Ruby said with glee. "C'mon team, let us end the curse!" She said with her fist pumped in the air.
"Ruby!" Jaune exclaimed. "We don't even know if- '' but Ruby didn't listen as she then walked through the doors. "And she ignores me…" He said with a bead of sweat going down his head. He then felt a tug and looked to see Ortensia looking at him.
"C'mon, sweetie." She said as the rest of the group all walked inside the door.
Undercroft/Dungeon
The group had finally made it to their destination. The entire area had a bunch of stuff and supplies that were in piles and scattered around, but the most distinguishing about it all was the stone-looking door on the wall nearby.
"I guess that must be it," Sora said to them all, making them nod their heads. So they got a bit closer, Donald then put his head right up against the door, hoping to hear any noise. But he didn't notice that a small dark cloud has flown over and went right for the door, this prompted the figures on the door to come to life, and for Donald to get a bit freaked out, he backed away very slowly, but the figure's arms had slammed right at him, hoping to hit him, but luckily Donalf avoided it and ran to the others in fright.
The Heartless they were looking at were two ornate statues attached to the door, two of their arms were locked around the door, so to speak. The statues themselves had the appearance of two muscular, black-skinned demons with thin, jagged mouths, spherical heads, and yellow beady eyes like the Shadow Heartless. On their bodies, they had short, jagged, yellow patterns on their exposed chests, shoulders, and horns, they also wore green collars with four small silver spikes on them and had red claws on their hands. Finally, their back swerve lined by stripes, and their lower areas were curled, with the tails being yellow at the end. This was the Thresholder.
As the group got ready for a fight, they also saw a group of Gargoyle statues that came to life and were ready to defend the door. "Alright," Sora said as he summoned his keyblade. "I'll deal with the Heartless at the door, you guys take care of the fodder!" He said, and off they went.
"Thunder!" Donald then cast a thunder spell at a group of statues, causing them to get discovered and crumble into pieces. He then noticed that a group of Shadows was also appearing and his staff gave off an icy aura to it. "Blizzard!" He said as he froze up the Heartless, making them all freeze, then a shield destroyed them all. "Thanks, Goofy!" Donald said.
"You got it, pal!" Goofy said as he then blocked an attack from a statue. He then threw the Tornado around the room, making it act like a boomerang and it hit every single Shadow and date in there.
Jaune sliced off a good chunk of the statue with his sword, then used his shoe to block a statue's hatchet attack. As he kept fighting his sword then began to glow a bit as he then jumped back a bit. "Get back!" He said as he then swung his sword down, making the sword deliver a wave of light that went right at the Heartless and destroyed them.
As soon as he saw what he did, he took a glance at his sorry and whistled a bit. "How the heck did I do that?" He asked himself?
Ruby was using Crescent Rose to slash at the Gargoyle statues with ease, especially since they were nothing but stone. "Now a taste of ice!" She said as she then cooked her gun and fired several ice rounds at the Heartless, destroying them with ease.
Sun twirled his bo staff and swung and hit several gargoyle statues at a bunch of them, rumbling their heads and destroying them all instantly. Then he smirked as he then ducked from an attack form a statue as it attempted to hit him with a hatchet, and Sun used his gunchuck to put one right in it's head. "Ha! Taste that, pebbles!" He taunted.
Oswald ducked from an attack and jumped up to take a slice off of the gargoyle's head, then he had his keyblade flare up with flames a bit. "Fire!" He then cast a ball of fire at the statues, bursting them all into flames and destroying them instantly.
Ortensia spun her staff around, and it began to give off an icy breeze. "Blizzard Shot!" She said as he then fired for several ice projectiles at the Heartless, freezing them all solid.
Stitch grabbed one of the statues and was using it like a baseball bat, hitting several statues, and Shadows that were coming at him. "Play Ball!" Stitch exclaimed with a grin as he swung them all around...maybe having a bit too much fun…
Sora didn't have that much difficulty with the Theresholder, as he simply had to move out of the way when the Heartless was slamming at him with his arms, but luckily Sora was able to dodge those and get a good few swings at it with his keyblade. After many swings, a dark ball then came out of the door and started to float around. It was a basic dark cloud with a face of yellow eyes and a sharp jagged mouth, this was the Possessor.
As Sora glared at the Heartless, more Shadows appeared around it and Sora gripped his keyblade tightly. "Get out of the way!" He exclaimed with anger, but the Heartless were not moving.
"THUNDER!" Then a bunch of lightning came down and got rid of the Shadows instantly. Sora turned to see Donald and Ortensia holding their staffs and smiling, making Sora smile back.
"Guys!" He said to get everyone's attention. "That Heartless is possessing the doors, we need to destroy it!" He said.
"Way ahead of you!" Ruby said as she cocked her gun and aimed at the Possessor, who was now floating around. "Eat some of this!" She said as she then fired several rounds from Crescent Rose at eh Heartless, when the bullets hit, the Possessor got hit and sparks came off of it, but it didn't make a noise at all.
"Same here!" Sun said as he then had his gunchucks fire off at the Heartless, and then was joined by Stitch, all three gun uses fired at the Heartless, causing it to get hit many, many times.
After a few more shots, the Heartless then began to shake up, and after a few minutes...it faded away, ultimately defeating it.
Sora turned to his party and nodded. "Alright, let's go guys." He said as they all nodded and went to the door, which no longer had the Threshold on it, and when he opened up the dors and all entered, all they saw was a bunch of objects like a lantern, a clock, a teapot, a small teacup, a footstool, a feather duster, and a large variety of other objects that were talking amongst themselves, and the most had faces.
Sora and his party had only one reaction. Eyes wide as saucers, mouths dropped to the ground, and pupils shrinking at the sight of objects talking.
Kay dudes, we are going to stop here for now. Next time we will get the arc over and done with.
Sorry if that one was short, but due to this part of the story being filler, I figured it would be kinda short you know? But Xaldin will appear in the next chapter though.
Anyway, my plan for the next story is going well so far….I'm still figuring out the plotlines for the Sakura Wars crossover. As I said, my knowledge for Sakura wars is still a bit slim, I only played the 2019 soft reboot and only seen the gameplay of the original 5 games….so yea.
Anyways, please don't forget to read and review, I'm always happy to hear from you guys and happy to answer any questions you might have for me.
See you all next time :)
