Greetings dear Disney fans, I've managed to work out more surprise adventures in the next chapter. Now if you seen Disney's 'Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs' film, you might recall scenes from the Haunted Forest and the Dwarf Mines. Well be prepared for some extra surprises that one will experience a familiar sense, but with a plot twist to make things more exciting. And it's just about close to another scene event to help progress the story. So let us begin, enjoy…
Chapter 03: Heigh-Ho, It's Off We Go!
LOCATION: HAUNTED FOREST
We suddenly see Leon entering the kingdom's know and dangerous place. There was hardly much sunlight that enter the woods, it's likely the tale spun by the villagers who seen things that scare them so that they warn travelers never to enter for their sake of avoiding the unknown danger. Leon almost jumped when an owl popped out of a hollow tree. And if that wasn't enough, Leon backed into a bush filled with eyes and then a flock of bats flew upwards against him.
"Ugh, it's no wonder nobody wants to explore this place, it's just plain creepy." Leon remarked to brush himself off from being rushed by bats. "If I hadn't seen how this was played out, I be jumping at shadows that aren't there." The guy saw how this Disney Film had played out the main princess; Snow White, experience this scary situation.
Then Leon suddenly has vivid images of when he was young, during the days when he escaped the orphanage when it was ran by a greedy owner. Before secretly living in Disney World, Leon had to survive in the outdoors with any knowledge he had. Sometimes he snuck into libraries to glimpse on how to survive living in the woods, camping gear, protection from wild animals, etc. But sometimes being alert of danger could keep any child on their own without parents to help, protect and guide the on their toes. To the point they almost were wishing they could go home…but there is no home to go back too.
"Hugh, being here has brought back unpleasant memories. Just imagining what poor Snow White went through when she was here, alone, and it was dark…" Leon signs a bit, imagines what this experience was like for a princess-like character that was delicate like a flower to endure.
While Leon was lost, something caught his cape that tug on him. The guy looked down to realize what happen, and signs at this.
"Like I should fear branches that look like hands trying to grab me. Like that's something to be afraid of." Leon exclaimed from knowing this predictable pattern was only meant to frighten scaredy-cat types that don't see the truth.
Then as Leon was reaching down to free himself, the strangest thing happened. Strange purple magic was glimmering around the branches. And the branches suddenly turn into wooden demonic hands dragging Leon to them.
"Ugh…" Leon yelps from this act before reaching for his sword. "SLASH!" Then instantly sliced the branches off: which revert them back to normal. "Okay, that's new?" The guy raised an eyebrow, shocked by something he was NOT expecting.
When backing up, a large branch bush was near…and was getting covered by the same purple magic. Then the branch hands become demonic and alive to restrain Leon.
"HEY! GET OFF!" Leon snapped forth, as now things were getting out of hand. "SLASH!" Leon managed to get free to back away to slice the branch hands: watching them revert back to normal like the last ones did. "What is going on here?" The guy was confused, something about this situation didn't make sense.
Leon held his sword and brought his shield out, ready for anything. There was something strange going on, Leon tried to make sense of it. The action was like what occurred in the Disney film, except they were one's imagination, they were never real but somehow that isn't the case. But when heading down a path, came across a large tree with a broken down base resembling a mouth with a branch nose and moss over the top to resemble hair and make eye patterns, even outstretch roots next to it could be hands.
"I know this location, this was the first monster Snow White saw. But there's no way it's real? That was just one's imagination." Leon tries to remain calm and see logical reason here.
Suddenly purple particles started to turn the creepy tree face into a real demonic tree monster. It roared as the branch hands began to move off the ground and tried to squash the poor soul but he dodged.
"So much for being one's imagination!?" Leon issued from being defensive on what was attacking him.
Leon performed a Slash move against one branch hand, that broke the piece. Then Leon dodged the incoming second branch hand, then did another Slash move to destroy the hand. Then Leon roars when he performed a Triple Slash Combo on the demon tree face before him. Finally the creature was shattered and scatter on the ground, as the purple particles disappear from that spot.
"Okay, there is definitely something not right with this forest? The things Snow White saw were just things out of her fear, they weren't real. So how are they becoming real and fighting back?" Leon was really stump, the things he's fighting should not be possible as they were never real from the film he saw long ago.
While Leon was dealing with that subject, purple mist spread around a wooden fallen tree resembling a monstrous mouth. It became a demonic tree and pulled forth to lung at Leon. But Leon used his White Knight's Shield to wedge at the jaws of the creature that wiggled the guy stopping it.
"First a tree face, now a tree gator? I'm sensing a pattern here?" Leon remarked from almost noticing a strange pattern to these attacks.
But then Leon yelps as the demonic tree gator plunges them through a hole to land in a large pound of water. And when Leon was struggling, witness strange purple particles affect the floating broken logs to become the resemblance of demonic tree gators.
"This is getting crazy!? As if one of you wasn't bad enough!" Leon snapped from breaking the wooden beast's jaw with his White Knight's Sword to pull the shield free. "Woah…" Then the guy pushed himself away while pulling an Alchemy Bomb out and spark the fuse before throwing it.
"KABOOM!" Then a huge explosion scatter the large and miniature tree gators all over. The same purple mist left those wood possessed things as a result. Leon lands away from the water, panting from what he experienced was a close calling. But then an eerie wind blew as he looked up to find purple mist turning other trees that look scary into living demonic trees.
"This is getting WAY out of hand? What is making these things become real?" Leon protest that at this rate, he'll have to fight an ENITRE FOREST if nothing is done.
Then Leon dodges from being surrounded by more demonic trees closing in, he was getting surrounded and there was almost no way out. So Leon channeled magic in his sword to release a Wind Slash move that dealt damage to destroy one. And then he repeated that step again, then again, and again, but it was no use…there were too many.
"Pant-pant…when things look darkest, find the light, right?" Leon pants from having spent half his MP, then pulled his first sack of bombs: which had only 8 left. "So let's try something really unexpected that you won't come back from?" The guy narrow his firm eyes, deciding to try something crazy on the spot.
The without warning, Leon spun around releasing the fast rotation of bombs fly off high in the air all over. The Tree Demons were puzzled but then in that time, Leon performed a wide-spread of Lightning Bolt that spark the fuses as the 8 Alchemy Bombs landed all over the enemies. Leon then jumped into the water pound to find cover.
"Uh-Oh!?" The Tree Demons looked shock and worried of what was coming next.
"KABLAM-BOOM-BOOM, KABOOM!" There was so much explosion that covered almost 100 feet distance widespread. When it was over, there was now a large huge clearing of destroyed trees and broken rubble scatter all over. Leon pops out of the pound to gasp for air and then examine his work.
"Okay, maybe I went a little TOO far that time? But if my knowledge is right, no innocent animal was around since this place's forest residents are with Snow White." Leon exclaimed from his little handy work went overboard to blow up a portion of the woods: at least it didn't cause a forest fire spread.
"Uurrrrraaagh?" Then Leon heard the sound of something injured, and saw something behind the smokescreen. The thing was, it resembled a purple puff cloud and it had demonic eyes along with some glowing center of energy. "AAArrruurghh…" Leon was a bit startled when the demonic cloud moans and roars at his direction. Then a pop-up screen revealed what it was.
-ENEMY DATA-
*Mini-Boss: Ghost Fog Lv.12*
'Evil Forest Spirit'
Info: The Evil Queen used the dark magical arts to summon forth this evil creature. It's a force made of magical fog vapor that makes it's resembles like a purple cloud. It is capable of possessing things within the woods and turns them into monsters. Even if one destroys what it has turn into a demonic forest vessel, it only slows the dark spirit down. It has very little health, but makes up for it by using inanimate objects as weapons to possess and control, enough to turn an entire forest into it's own secret supply of endless monster army. The only way to destroy it is by attacking it when it has nothing else to come in contact, aim at the magical core center to end its terror.
"So you were the one that cause all this trouble?" Leon glares at the culprit responsible for the mess.
"Uuurrrrrgh…" Ghost Fog growls from slowly trying to reposition it's self and to fly off to find another forest vessel.
"Well now, I suppose I should be glad you found me and not Snow White. You're too dangerous!" Leon issued from wielding the White Knight's Sword up front.
"URRAAAAGHhhhhhh…." Ghost Fog roared as it launches forth to prepare to attack.
"LIGHTNING SLASH!" Leon roared as he channels lightning through his weapon and swung to release the crescent blade of energy.
"SLASH!" The attack made contact right in the glowing core of the cloud creature: shattering it to pieces and becoming dust vapor. "GrrrrrAAaarrrrooow-Oooohhh…." Ghost Fog screams in agony before it stopped in a frozen state: and then disappears into the air. And this moment, Leon received another pop-up screen alert.

CLASS JOBS/TYPES: (3 Openings)
GUARDIAN - Warrior
CLERIC – Healer
SORCEROR – Magician
"WOAH!? I can actually gain something other then a Subclass!? This is HUGE!?" Leon was literally surprised by this extremely rare moment. "There's only three of them in the selection? So I can only select one right now, and the rest might appear again later when I hit Level 20 to possibly pick again?" The guy theorized what sort of system he was dealing with here.
But currently this was a tough call for Leon to make, because ever since he arrived in a Disney World universe, he's been given things and has learn a few stuff. Even when he completed some task, depending on the event and such, he received a subclass job. And in Video Games, the Main Class is what one selects their Avatar to be in RPG Games to help them make progress in their adventure. And the three classes now are set with only an explanation of the type: Warrior, Healer and Magician. Now maybe being a Healer would give one benefits when damaged, but what if one only receives recovery types and no attack types? Usually Healers fight small time enemies to build-up to last longer, but currently that would make it difficult to progress on what dangers lie ahead. Then there's Magician, casting spells from small to big wide areas would be a piece of cake, but that requires a tremendous among of MP. And if one is low on magic, they become easier targets since they lack the proper strength and defense to last. Now the Warrior has the feats to train one's body to fight well and provide defense. The stronger the warrior becomes, the greater their defense and offense will be to make quicker work of weaker enemies. Plus, they don't require too much use of magic which can save up on casting spells for the really tough enemies. Leon nods his head on having come to a decision…
"I pick the warrior type – Guardian!" Leon declared forth on making his choice: that's when a change pop-up screen revealed the results.
-UNLOCK 1ST NEW CLASS-
*Guardian: With the highest defense stats out of the other classes, the Guardian has the ability to hold back enemies and is usually the cornerstone of the front line. The main roles of the Guardian is to draw the attention of the enemy and take the most damage of the group. Can equip nearly all kinds of armor and weapons, sometimes even choose heavy plate armor, a shield, and a one-handed weapon (such as a sword, axe or mace), as this configuration best suits a Guardian's strengths and battle role. Guardian class supports the front line and has many skills to draw aggro. Has multiple skills for the shield as well as skills that nullify damage for a set amount of time. However, the Guardian's potential to directly deal damage is not very high. A Guardian needs high quality gear to be useful, which is one of the class' main weaknesses.
**UNLOCK 3 GUARDIAN SKILLS**
*Cross Slash: A Guardian holds a weapon aloft to amass power then quickly delivers two quick consecutive strikes in the shape of a cross. It is a starting skill for Guardians. Because this skill can be used regardless of the weapon, many Guardians know and love it. This move is likely an enhanced version of the Slash technique but deals more damage to one or a small group of targets in the attacks' path. COST: 0MP
*Shield Smash: Simply beat someone up with your equipped shield. The damage dealt is not very high, but it has many effects such as disrupting troublesome attacks or the casting of magic spells, and daunting enemies. By increasing one's strength when using this movement skill, they can deal enough damage to targets as long as the equipped shield has a high level of endurance. COST 0MP
*Armor Crash: Using a heavy weapon such as an Axe or Hammer, deal a heavy blow on an opponent's armor and lower their ATK and DEF. This heavy weapon skill can deal a critical blow to a target with enough dexterity and strength is mustered to apply the potent power to even injure large size opponents. COST: 10MP

"Well at least this was rewarding. And I've hit Level 10 and received a special surprise, heck more then one surprise at that." While Leon was joyful at first, he examine his map to discover a problem: the pathway towards the cottage was gone. "Ohhh, seems that bomb idea might have damaged a path that would have taken me to Snow White and the Dwarfs place. Now I need to find an alternate route?" The guy realized too late that if one bomb could beat an enemy in a small space, using up almost 8 bombs might damage the land a bit to find another route to take: on the plus side, he still had the other bomb sack with 10 bombs left in case of an emergency.
When studying the mini-map on his screen, Leon saw the other safe routes took too much detours due to the hills, large rocky boulders and large rivers. But then he discovered by the Mountain Trail, there was a Mine entrance that seems to connect towards a path leading closest to the Dwarfs Cottage.
"Hugh, so much for following the same path Snow White took to reach the cottage at a faster paste. Would have saved me lots of time." Leon signs from knowing that luck was not on his side on reaching his goal. "Well, let's just see what we can find in the Mines." He shrug off the shoulders of the current problem to just go with the flow here.
Leon was taking the path that would lead him near the Mountain Trail, but would locate a path to go through the mountain rather than over it. It wouldn't be long before the guy discovers it, and journeys into a place sealed with 'DANGER' all over. But for Leon, he had to go through, there was no other choice…
LOCATION: ABANDON MINE
The scene changes to reveal the inside of a dark tunnel. But there was some illumination caused by glowing cave moss and plants covering from sides and the ceiling. Leon was approaching with cautious, uncertain what he may encounter. But then Leon found a sign ahead with words on them.
"This area is off limits. Terrain is unstable, shakes too much, and might cause cave in. If you don't heed this warning, then you're inviting trouble. Sign - Grumpy! PS, what are you still doing here reading this part? Get going. Scram!" Leon read the message loudly and clearly of every word. "I guess the Seven Dwarfs worked here before they abandon it? I wonder why?" Leon was curious, if the Seven Dwarfs left this place I unfinished, was there something that cause such a problem they never solved.
Leon would have heeded the message, but there was no time. He had to reach the cottage without delaying things. So if that means taking a dangerous shortcut, so be it. As Leon went in further, he never saw the sign that said 'BEWARE OF WHA LIES BENEATH!' since the sign was broken and fell near the wall side. Now Leon finds an elevator lift, and gets on before it took him deeper. There at the bottom, Leon got out and soon found something amazing. There were mine cart tracks leading deeper into the unexplored tunnel.
"Hmm, I have an unpleasant feeling on recalling scenes much like this?" Leon studies the area and finds a perfect mine cart on tracks. "Well, I have been curious on what living the actual mine cart ride would be like? Guess now's my chance." He shrug off his shoulders to give in on thinking about the problem and go with the flow.
So León took the first step in pushing the mine cart near a down path and set the breaks by pulling the lever. Now he climbs into the mine cart, looks ahead and releases the breaks. The mine cart slowly drifts the squeaky wheels forward, and then it approached the drop point.
"Here Goes Nothing! WOOOOAAAAHHHHhhhhh…." Leon announced before his voice was heard screaming.
We suddenly see Leon gripping onto the cart as things one has seen in wild and crazy rides through mines were coming into play. First was the usual low hill paths going up and down, then going through a tunnel. Then there was a railroad track split which Leon quickly had to act when the split had two paths: a seal block and an opening.
"The right path!" Leon shouted as he used his sword to whack the switch.
With that action performed, Leon had moved the track from the block tunnel to a clear tunnel. Leon was holding on as one came across rigid turns in a zigzag pattern. It was almost enough to lose one's lunch going left and right a few times before continuing a straight path. But from the commotion caused the ceiling ahead of the next tunnel path to collapsed.
"Really knows how to scare folks. But I have a solution." Leon declared from holding his sword forward as he channel magic. "WIND SLASH!" The guy announced before launching the magic attack.
"SHING!" The wind aura made contact against the rubble. "Crack…Crumble…" Then the entire rubble broke apart, opening the path again. Then something sparkle ahead that puzzled Leon, because ahead was a more rigorous path full of sharp turns, curls, and busted hill tracks to suffer a bumpy ride.
"Didididi-Did they have to adadadad-add this feature to the ririririri-ride!?" Leon muttered between his words being bumped in-between.
Wasn't long before Leon finally cleared out of that bumpy track to catch a moment to sign with relief. But then the real shock came from riding down a long track and jumping over a gorge…but never made it to the other side.
"WAAAAAHHHHH!?" Leon screamed while watching himself plummet down to the ground. "Gotta think, how does one escape falling to their doom?" The guy was running short of time, he has to get off or slow down. "Ugh, I wish I could fly in the air!? Wait…fly in the air…WIND!? Of course!" At that moment, the answer was staring at Leon's face.
The cart was seen smashing upon the rocky floor, breaking into pieces. But Leon was not seen from the wreckage. But there was wind blowing around except it came from above. That's where one spots Leon using his hands to cast the Windlash spell and slowed his descent until he reach the ground safely. Then a pop-up screen appeared with an announcement.
-MINI-QUEST – COMPLETED-

"Hugh…If I didn't learn at least that Wind Spell, I don't know how else to escape that. No doubt it was about as scary as when plummeting down that 'Tower Of Terror' ride?" Leon signs with relief when comparing the experience of falling from so high: only this one had no safety measurement for passengers. "Still, obtain another good achievement, a little more and I may just reach Level 15?" The guy was literally happy on what he's received as a pretty nice reward especially after having his first class job to boast his abilities.
Now Leon was seen moving away from the open crash spot and following towards the only entrance leading out of the area.
NEW LOCATION: GEMSTONE TREASURE TROVE
Then when entering a new chamber, Leon yelped from a bright flash and the eyes got use to what he ended up at. And it was an entire chamber filled to the brim with so many gemstones of all sizes, shapes and colors.
"Holy…I've never seen this many jewels in one place except the gift shops? Correction, those were small crafted and only few were real." Leon was literally speechless on what he has discovered. "If I could collect this stuff like what you do in RPG games, I might be very set on travels and pay to get the best stuff I couldn't afford. Especially now since I don't have any cash to pay for things." Ever since he was summoned here, surviving against opponents is one thing, but he needs currency to pay for daily things: a place to rest, eat, sleep, clothes, armor, gear, weapons, travels, etc. After all, everything is not so free.
Leon was reaching for a tool left behind that's a pickaxe to prepare to collect this secret gemstone mine cavern. But before he could even begin, he suddenly remembered something…he's on a major quest. And there's no telling how long it could take him to mine these gems that the Evil Queen would reach the princess, and the ending of the story maybe change forever.
"Hugh….sometimes there are things more important than riches. My family never had much, but we had each other." Leon signs deeply and drops the pickaxe: recalling things from his past. "Besides, I'll come back later…first protecting Snow White is the main missions." The guy formed a plan, which was a good plan on how to prioritize what comes first and then what to do afterwards.
Leon was seen heading towards the exit of the large chamber just on the other side. But then without warning, a magical barrier appeared and kept the guy from escaping. Puzzled by this action, Leon turned around to see the other way out was also seal off as well. This setup was almost all too familiar to the guy who experienced it back at the Evil Queen's Secret Chamber.
"GROOAARRRUUUGH!" Then a low deep beastly tone was heard as the whole place shook.
Then something made heavy stomps, they sounded big, really big, and really heavy too. "SMASH!" And then from a blocked rubble path, something smashed through to clear the way to enter. What entered was some 30 feet tall giant made entirely out of gemstones. A dark grey stone body with glowing light-blue lines, covered in harden mineral armor plating from waist with a battle drape, upper chest, wrist, and a dome helmet. There were crystals embedded in areas, yellow by the ankles, purple around the legs, emerald front waist drape cloth, turquoise in the wrist, light-blue for the upper chest-armor, not to mention an right orange and right purple shoulder pads, plus a white-blue crescent horns on the helmet. The only extra features that made it different were carrying huge hammers on the backside that were forge as gemstones: one blue and one green. Soon a pop-up screen appeared with shocking news about this foe:
-ENEMY DATA-
*Boss: Stoneheart Lv.20*
'Gemstone Golem'
Info: It's believed the Queen used a spell to create a golem made of gemstones. The reason was to have it scare away everyone seeking the gemstone mine rich with precious jewels. Thereby having it collect the riches to become apart of the Evil Queen's secret treasure stash to continue acquiring more dark arts and magical books to increase her power. Golems are known for their defensive boast ability, so the formula used to harden their body makes their defenses very strong. The stronger and harder the mineral, the tougher the golem. Only by defeating this enemy can one stop the Queen's goal of having untold riches.
"I don't believe this? A GOLEM!? How was that put into play?" Leon shouted from feeling like this was just cheating the original plot.
"Oooouurrrrgh!" Then Stoneheart roars before it raised its right fist before throwing a punch. "CRUSH!" While Leon got out in the nick of time, he saw how much one punch did. The Gemstone Golem's punch was so hard that it's sheer force the entire arm into the wall and reach its shoulder.
"Well now I seen everything? But no matter the enemy, it won't stop me and my quest!" Leon prepares his armaments while channeling his magic.
Leon swiftly used the Wind Magic to boost his speed to attack the large and slow enemy. When dealing with the first Slash of his sword, there was just one problem…it did not cut through the harden body. Apparently the enemy was too large and heavy, so a normal type of attack wouldn't work so well.
"Time to try out my new skills." Leon holds onto his White Knight's Sword before channeling power into it. "CROSS SLASH!" He shouts with a mighty roar without warning.
Leon quickly delivers two quick consecutive strikes in the shape of an 'X' cross against the large foe while appearing on the other side. That briefly caused Stoneheart to almost tumble with a lost of balance. But when the Gemstone Golem broke free of the wall from that stunt, it was gazing down at the tiny little damage done to it and where Leon was.
"Oh no…!?" Leon yelped from realizing this will be a problem.
"ROOAAARRRROOOHHH!" Then Stoneheart roared with rage before pulling out its two hammers that were as big as it's giant-size fist. "CRUSHED!" Then did a heavy smash with the hammers that created a shockwave that pushed Leon from the wind pressure.
"Okay, magical golem with hard defense, and it's made of harder gemstones. Ordinary attacks won't cut it, and my Cross Slash can only do so much? Which means only magic has a shot." Leon theorized the enemy's advantage it has that requires a change tactic. "Thankfully my MP has recovered enough from not using it except twice in the mine cart ride. I better use it wisely." Leon issued from gripping his sword, channeling his magic for a tough battle.
Now Leon used his small size and speed against an enemy larger and slower than him. The Gemstone Golem tried to spot where the human was going, but it shook to hit things without care. "KHWOON!" The enemy hit the side of the cavern wall which caused some ceiling to fall down and distract the golem.
"I know that Lightning can't work, but what about if it's converted into a cutting force." Leon exclaimed as he was supercharging his sword with electricity. "LIGHTNING SLASH!" He roared with all his might and will.
"Tzzzzz…/POW!" The electrical crescent blade was shot and made an impact that stun Stoneheart. "OoouurrAaaaourrrgh!" The enemy was somewhat stun from a paralyzing effect that breach its bedrock surface.
"Now then…WIND SLASH!" Leon announced from switching to his next magical attack.
With a mighty swoosh effort, the crescent form made of concentrated wind soon struck the golem foe when stun. Leon had no time to rest, he continued to unleash relentless Wind Slash moves to cut down the enemy's defenses. However without much consideration of how much one needs to pay for spending MP, it was dropping fast. Until finally it reach zero, and Leon drop to his knees panting from exerting so much. There was only dust that covered where the giant Gemstone Golem was, there was no sign of movement.
"Pant-pant…I'm spent. I had to act while it was stun, I must have done 20 or so hits? Perhaps I should have used very little and conserved some. But it had to be done, an enemy that hard would require more time and I can't waste it." Leon was exhausted from having pulled off so much in so little time, just to bring down a level 20 Boss threat. "Wait, why haven't I received the alert notice? It shows up when the enemy is defeated so…" When Leon was going over this, his eyes widen of the horror that was still around.
"OOOAAARRRUUGH!" Then something roared with rage, and that's when a hammer was swung from Leon's right side. "CLUNK!" Leon used his White Knight's Shield but the power behind the attack knock it away. "WOOSH!" Then from Leon's left side came another giant hammer aiming for his unguarded side.
"SMASH!" Leon reacted to pull out his Wooden Shield to guard him while performing Shield Smash at the same time. "CRACK-CRACK! BREAK!" While the technique disrupted the attack, sadly the shield completely broke and the aftermath force blow landed instead.
"GRRAaaahhhh!" Leon cried out in pain as he was knocked across the field, tumbling against the harden stone floor. "GUuaargh!?" Then he hit a wall side which caused him to yelp in pain.
"Ooouuarrrghhh…." Stoneheart roared as it slowly stomps to approach an injured prey. It's stomping shook and caused a half-conscious Leon to pay attention.
"Cough-cough…" Leon coughs from gritting his teeth, enduring the pain to his left shoulder. "Darn, there goes my first shield. But at least…hmmm…it block enough of that blunt blow. That Shield Smash helped, but sadly a wooden shield can't handle an enemy that strong? Ahh…and now my shoulder is dislocated?" The guy realized the major setback which has left him in such a state.
"Ooouuaarrrrrr…" The sound of the Gemstone Golem was almost directly above Leon by a mere few feet.
"My shield is over there, my sword is left where I was, I can't perform Cross Slash or Shield Smash without them and I'm out of MP!? What else can I use?" Leon was trying to think, and think fast because he's a sitting duck.
"Hoooouurrraahhh!" Stoneheart stopped before Leon, as it was raising its right arm for the final blow: just then crack sounds were heard. "Oouurrrrrgh!?" The Gemstone Golem cringed from feeling a slight pain which got someone's attention.
"He's hurt too!? So my efforts did work, another push and he might fall. But what else can be really powerful to do that?" Leon was trying to think, he has an open window but it's closing fast. "Hmm?" Then as he moved, something fell out of his other pouch bag which had…the few remaining 10 Alchemy Bombs he hasn't used. "There maybe one way, it's a riskier gamble, but…It's sink or swim!? So here goes!" Leon had formulated a plan, now he only hopes that luck is on his side.
While Stoneheart was distracted, Leon used his one arm to take the Small Magic Potion to restore some MP. Then after the potion was emptied out, he used his good arm to grab a stone and scratch it against another big rock. The sparks made was just enough that one landed where the pouch of bombs was, and a fuse was lit. Leon quickly grabs the bag. Then he threw it upwards towards the golem's raised arm.
"KABOOM-BOOM-BOOM, KABLAM!" The extra explosive force completely engulf the golem's right arm. "OOOuuuuurrrAAaRrrhhh!" The Gem Golem groans in agony which at that time, its entire right arm was broken off and reduce to rubble.
"Hhaaahhh!" But then Leon used all his strength to leap into the dusty cloud. And there was the free hammer in the air, and the guy grabbed it with his two arms. "Grrrr…bear the pain, for this….ONE-LAST…" The scene shows Leon struggling to rotate himself and the giant hammer into an upward position: and above a target. "FINISH! HAaaarrrrhhhh…." Leon roared as he muster the final strength left to aid a gravitational force in a desperate attempt. "ARMOR CRASH!" He announced the name of one Guardian move which requires…a heavy weapon like…a hammer.
Time began to move slowly as Stoneheart took a swing to stop the attack. It almost looked like the Gemstone Golem was gonna win, but something else occurred. The potion Leon took regain a little of his MP to use it on both the technique and instantly used the last portion to perform Windlash…but beneath the feet. The maneuver speeded Leon even to slowly dodge the enemy's swung hammer. And then time would resume when the other hammer landed right on the golem's upward face.
"SMASH!" That mighty hammer Leon used to perform Armor Crash in a downward gravity pressure with the boost of wind…made its mark. "Crack-Crackcrack…" The entire mask structure was cracking and it spread to the golem's body. "BREAK!" The entire facial mask shattered and the golem's limbs began to separate.
"MMOURR-AAuUURRrrrooohhh…" Stoneheart made its final cries heard, before the light in its eyes dyed out along with its glimmering gem structure. "CRASH!" The entire golem's gem body fell to the ground, leaving a crater behind.
Leon fell nearby with a silent yelp, but struggled to move to see if the results change. And the sight see was Stoneheart's entire body vanish into magical particles in the air. Even the two giant gemstone hammers began to disappear along with their owner. And soon something was left behind that were some gems in a sack and a weapon. A long bronze staff with three sharp spikes: but the hammer was of a smooth light orange crystal with some deep orange coloring in the centre, plus the other side was flat. During the moment, a little glow of magic recovered Leon's health and soon saw a pop-up screen appear.

The guy tries to distract himself by seeing the bright side of winning this battle: which at that moment, his status appears…

As Leon slowly picked himself up after briefly reviewing his level-up stature, he went over to pick-up the special drop rewards for defeating the Gemstone Golem. And besides the Crystal Warhammer that Leon picked up and placed into his Storage space, there was something else that attracted one's attention buried under the debris but shine so brightly. It resembled a large crystalized well-shape heart that looked 11 wide and weighted almost 23 pounds. The real attraction was the magenta sphere with 6 light purple bands attaching it directly in the crystal heart center-piece. That's when a pop-up window appeared with a special surprise:
-HIDDEN DISCOVERY-
*RARE TREASURE – OBTAIN*
*Crystal Golem's Heart: A special rare and valuable treasure that's a heart-shaped crystal. It's one of the few things that advance master class alchemist strive to create using ingredients of pure minerals and life force. Upon it's creation, when placed inside a special created golem will give it untold power. Unlike magicians that cast a spell to summon a golem, any that has the crystal heart will be active 24/7 until a powerful oppoennet destroys the body. The stronger the material for the golem's body, the better defense for it to last long in fights. And if the material has magical properties, the golem can become more then a strong blocker and muscleman, it can perform some special abilities on the field of combat.
"Crystal Golem's Heart…Well, you're certainly not what I expected?" Leon studied the unique heart-shape crystal that's pretty much well made. "But to use it to create a golem, the idea…does have merits to considered?" He held his chin to think about this for a moment: this particular rare item may help him out in the long run.
Once Leon grab the crystal heart, he decided to keep it in the now empty bag that once held his last bombs. The guy takes another look around at the all the wonderful gemstones still embedded in the bedrock. If he took the take now, he could mine more then just 120 Gems he got from defeating the Gemstone Golem – Stoneheart.
"I won't be anymore greedy than what the reward has given me. When I'm good and ready, maybe I'll come back." Leon shook his head to keep things together, there will be time for other things…after the mission is over.
Leon now slowly walks off while cringing a bit from a broken shoulder. Apparently while his level did go up, his health was a different story. His HP is set as 250, but he has no more then 52 of his health remaining. He needs to rest and recover, too bad there's no time for breaks when the clock is ticking…
THE MOUNTAIN TRAIL
ABANDON MINE EXIT
The scene finally opens to the outside view of the mountain, and just on a medium section was another mine entrance. And coming out from there was Leon Lionheart, a bit messy, a bit injured, but still alive. He managed to take in the sights of sunlight after being in that mine for some time.
"I made it…at last, feels so long since I been in the sunlight…?" Leon exclaimed from his earlier experience thus far: being in a dark castle, then the dark woods to the mountain mines on top of it.
Taking a moment to observe the sights, there was something seen near some woods: an open area with a running little river and a small wooden bridge. It resembles a small T-shape style cottage structure with aa haystack roof and chimney on one side.
"Wait a second, that long path down there…that building there? Is it really…?" Leon was curious by the building structure, it resembles a cottage no question about it: but then he heard something that sounded almost like…singing?
One Man: Heigh Ho!
"That melody, I recognize it anywhere!" Leon exclaimed from what he was hearing. "I need a closer look?" He looked ahead to try to see where he can hear the sound more clearly.
Leon hurried towards a cliff's edge as the sound became a little louder the closer it got. But then the guy stopped when over the edge of a mountain cliff, one wrong step and he almost fell. But he was in the perfect spot to hear the sound more clearly…
Men Chorus: Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho!
It's off to work we go!
Leon used two gems he acquired to act as lens to help one see things far away. The guy heard whistling before spotting the cottage and see seven small men come out. All roughly the same short height which were about half the height of an adult and they all wear tuque-like hats, jackets with patches on the elbows and brown, sock-like shoes. Almost all have beards and eyes that are a shade of brown or amber. The tops of all their heads are completely bald.
First guy was a bit overweight and sports a thick, but short, white beard. Hat is yellow and stands on end for an unknown reason. Has a large round pink nose and wears glasses. Wears a red coat with two gold buttons going down the front, brown pants, and a black belt with a gold buckle around the waist. Apparently rolls the sleeves of the coat up.
Second guy wears a steel blue tuque that stands on end and has a thick, white beard that reaches to about knee-length. Appears to have the second largest nose out of the group and wears a yellow-orange coat with tan patches. Wears a black belt, but the buckle is covered around the beard. The pants are an orange-brown color.
Third guy is the fattest and seemingly the oldest, as has thick, white eyebrows in addition to the white beard, as opposed to all the others having black eyebrows. The tuque is orange and stands on end and has a round, pink nose which is the second smallest out of the group. The pants are steel blue, and wears a red vest overtop a yellow, long-sleeved shirt with tan patches. Wears a black belt with a silver buckle.
Fourth guy has a thick, white beard that reaches to about chest-length and wears an orange tuque that droops. A round, bulbous nose is just slightly smaller than the second guy. The coat is dark brown with brown patches and sports at least one gold button. The belt is black and the buckle is gold, while the pants are brown.
Fifth guy wears a light steel blue tuque that flops down and is a bit longer than those worn by the others. Has a round, pink nose is roughly the same size as the first guy and has thick, white beard seems to be the longest out of all the others. Wears brown pants and a tan jacket with brown patches. The belt is black, but the buckle is obscured because of the beard. The guy's eyes are usually half-closed.
Sixth guy seems to be the youngest and wears a purple hat along with a light green coat with two gold buttons down the front. The hat and coat seem to be a bit too large for him, and the goat partially covers the black, gold-buckled belt. The patches on the elbows are brown. The pants are steel blue and nose is the smallest of the others. The eyes are blue and has large ears; in fact, he's the only member whose ears are visible. Is completely bald underneath the hat and lacks a beard.
Seventh guy is rather thin in comparison to some of the others, and has the largest, most bulbous pink nose out of all the others. Has thick, white beard reaches to just past the waist. The tuque is brown and the tip flops down. The coat is carmine colored and secured by a black belt with a gold buckle. The patches are brown, as are the pants.
Dwarf Men Chorus: Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho…
"The Seven Dwarfs! I made it!" Leon exclaimed from realizing who the seven short men were. "There's Doc, Bashful, Happy, Sneezy, Sleepy, Dopey, and bringing up the rear is Grumpy. That's all SEVEN of them!?" The Dwarfs were off and it looks like Grumpy was catching up while somewhat soaking wet. "Wait, is that one…?" Then he noticed someone else by the Dwarf's Cottage home.
From the open cottage door, Leon spots someone giving the seven little men a farewell motion. A teenage girl with short, wavy, black hair, brown eyes, and somewhat pale skin. She also has long eye lashes and wears red lipstick and a red ribbon in the hair tied in a bow. Clothing-wise, wears a yellow skirt and blue bodice. The sleeves of the dress are short and puffy, azure in color, with red cloth poking through exemplifying the 'puff-and-slash' decoration typical during the Tudor era. There's a high, white collar on the back of the dress. Wears gold slippers with a small, white bow on the front of each one and a red cape tied around the neck by a brown strip of cloth.
"Snow White…in the flesh! Lips red as a rose, skin white as snow…I must be dreaming?" Leon was utterly speechless of recognizing a Disney Princess: so much he pinch his cheek. "OW!?" But then he yelped from the pain that brought him to reality. "Okay, not a dream, it's real. Now I need to hurry down there and warn them about the plot the Queen has…" He was forming a plan on how to engage the situation…
But then without warning, a sudden surge of magical rainbow colors of energy covered and spread over Leon's body. It was as if he was suffering an attack to the body that he clutch himself to endure it. Then a pop-up window appeared but this one was a flaring red color compared to the calm blue ones.
-WARNING-
*SPOILER PENALTY*
Info: You have attempt to reveal the spoiler of the story still in play. One cannot reveal the play out or ending of the Disney main character and sub characters in question. Doing so will trigger a system to restrain the OverWorlder from speaking by a magical feedback. The pain is little to endure, but the more one attempts to reveal spoilers will continue to endure more magic feedback pain.
"What, urrrgh….you're saying that any kind of Spoiler Alert is a penalty?" Leon groans from feeling a sharp pain coursing through him. "Why are you telling me this NOW!? Of all TIMES!?" He yelled from not believing this was happening: he suddenly lost his balance to fall backwards on the ground hard.
"Crack, crack-crack…" Then Leon didn't realize it, but the heavy weight impact caused cracks around the mountain cliff's edge to spread: and it began to break loose.
"No wa-AAHHHHhhhhhh…" Soon the cliff's edge broke with Leon screaming as he plummets down screaming: the guy grabs the front part to ride a wild rocky slide ride down the mountain's steep slope.
MEANWHILE
THE SEVEN DWARFS
Down by the Dwarf Cottage, we spot the one called Grumpy picking up to leave and join the others. After receiving that little good luck kiss from Snow White, it's left him with some misfortune even though he enjoyed it.
"Sniff…Hey Grumpy! What kept you?" Sneezy sniffs a bit while making small talk.
"None of your beeswax! Let's just hurry to the mines!" Grumpy snapped to remark and avoid the question.
"That's right men, let nothing home from getting us! UGH, STOP US FROM GETTING HOME!" Doc yelped from having mixed his words there a bit.
"Yeah, I hope to try some more of that great meal when we get back." Bashful smiled from blushing at the very thought: Snow White's cooking is a thing of wonder.
The others were all happily imagining what they get to eat when they come back after a day's work. But then as many stop to imagine the wonder, Dopey was moving onward until he saw he was ahead of the group. But then his ears heard something, looked ahead to see something trailing down the mountain fast…and heading for their direction.
"Waaaahhhhaaahhhh…" Dopey yelps so loudly that he jumps to turn and run pass the other Dwarfs.
"Wow, Dooley must be eager to get home real fast? I never seen him leave before we finish the job in the mine?" Happy spoke off happily of such eagerness.
"Yaaaaaawn…maybe it has something to do with that?" Sleepy yawns a bit before noticing what was coming down that Dopey saw.
Then the Seven Dwarfs all turn to see what was the commotion. And saw a broken flat cliff edge sliding down Trail Mountain. But even as it hit the ground, it in fact slide from the smoothness and was heading for where the small Dwarf men were because of the path they were on.
"Huuuuaaagh!" The six Dwarfs gasped in shock of what was fast approaching.
"Run men! It's a Slopping Rock! Ugh Rocking Slope!? Ugh, I mean Rock Slide!" Doc yelps to stutter his words before getting them out right.
"Wooooahhh…." The Seven Dwarfs ran while yelping and screaming; they ran to catch up to Dopey while the broken edge cliff slides and skips across the grass.
"It's catching up?!" Happy exclaimed on the danger right behind them.
"Golly, we can't out run it?" Bashful yelps on seeing their short legs can't keep up.
"What I tell you men, trouble has found us!" Grumpy yelled from having knew something like this could happen: but truth be told, he was not expecting THIS kind of trouble.
"Oh this is bad, we're gonna be squash in the ground, and with the stuff I'm ah…ah…ah…" Sneezy was unable to say as his nose was starting to act up… "AHhhhhh-COOoooooo…" Then without warning, Sneezy let loose a big, well…sneezed and against the incoming sliding mountain edge.
But it was actually thanks to Sneezy, that his powerful wind slowed the large rock and also pushed the other Seven Dwarfs away from it. And as luck would have it, they were rolling across the ground and landed right by the front doormat just as Snow White was about to close the door.
"Oh my, you're certainly home early?" Snow White opened the door, lightly surprised at who's back.
"Careful my dear, we rock from a large ran! Ugh, we ran from a large rock!?" Doc yelps to say but couldn't get the order done when panicking.
"Here it comes now!" Grumpy points at the very thing they ran from.
Everyone watches as the large edge cliff rock was sliding near the cottage. While bracing for impact and the Dwarfs used themselves to protect the princess…the rock had slowed down to come to a halt. That allowed everyone to open their eyes and stare in surprise, apparently Sneezy's powerful wind slowed the thing enough to stop it from wrecking the cottage.
"Oooohhhhh…." Then everyone heard something, and there was someone on the large rock slope as he was sliding downwards. "Ooohh!?" Then he fell to land on the ground, the front to the grass.
"Who is that?" Happy asked puzzled by a stranger they are looking at.
"Never seen him around before?" Bashful shook his head from being puzzled as the rest.
"Oh my, is he alright?" Snow White lightly gasped with worry if the poor soul was hurt.
"Careful my dear, news he got be bad! Um, bad news he got be! Ohhh…he could be bad news!" Doc tried to get his words together to warn Snow White that this stranger could be dangerous. "One of us will investigate to see if he's dangerous!" He issued to act as leader on how they will proceed.
The Seven Dwarfs were all nodding their heads while looking at one Dwarf in particular. Dopey looked at where everyone was looking at, but realized…they were looking at him. Dopey swallowed hard, as he slowly approach cautiously of the fallen stranger. Dopey held a pickaxe, then used the bottom wood pole to poke, react in fear…but there was nothing. Dopey then poke a spoke around the back but pulled something out which was a bag. When being drop down, what came out was the crystal-shape heart which spook Dopey, but took another look and was amazed. Dopey waved the others to approach the fallen stranger with a smile, singalling it was safe.
"What is it Dopey?" Bashful asked the quiet little Dwarf what he wanted.
"Yawwwnn…Did you find something?" Sleepy yawns a bit tired but asked the question.
"By Golly! Men, do you see what this is?" Doc yelps from when the Dwarfs all spot the crystal-shape heart.
"Jiminy?" Happy silently gasped in surprise along with many of the others.
"Why it looks like a crystal shape like a heart? How lovely." Snow White smiled from finding the jewel object beautiful.
"Why yes, it is rather lovely when you look at it?" Doc smiled to happily agree that Snow White was correct on such observation.
"Aw Corn-Muffins! Do you not realize what this means!? It's TROUBLE! BIG Trouble, I tells' ya!" Grumpy snapped to lecture the group that this was no time to be smitten by pretty things.
"But how could something so beautiful be trouble?" Snow White asked what has Grumpy in one of his grumpy moods.
"No-no, Grumpy is right. This thing is know as the Crystal Golem's Heart. An item said to be use to create powerful golems that can stop non work! Ugh work non-stop!" Doc explained the matter but bumbled his words to correct what he was saying.
"And there's more, this item supplies magic so any wizard won't need to spare any. Someone made a golem so strong, even us seven couldn't take it down." Grumpy remarked on knowing how dangerous a magical created golem that continues to function without it's creator always around means trouble for anyone that can't defeat such a creature.
"Really?" Snow White asked surprised to hear such a thing.
"Yeah, sniff…and we trapped it in a cavern full of dandelions which I….ah-gee….ah-jeee…" Sneezy was trying to say when looking at the crystal heart but his allergies were acting up. "AH-COO!" Then he made a light sneeze while facing away from the others.
"Say, this thing has the same flower residence of that other golem. Wonder why?" Bashful studied the crystal heart and discovered some leftover pollen residence on it.
"What's that Dopey?" Happy turns to see Dopey yanking his arm to point at the crystal's center. "Hey, you could be onto something. Fellas, look at the center. Notice anything?" He asked that the other Dwarfs look to the crystal heart's core to notice…no light was active.
"Why, the core has cease functioning? That means someone obtain and defeated one. Um…I mean defeated and obtain one. And it might be the same golem?" Doc fumbled a bit but got his statement out for everyone to hear.
"Yawn, does that mean we can go back to the abandon mine again if it's…yawn…gone?" Sleepy yawns from being so tired but understood what this situation meant.
"Why that's wonderful news, so he must be a good person." Snow White smiled to happily hold her hands, now they know this stranger was not a bad person.
"Hmph! I don't know, I don't trust him!? This seems too coincidental right when we're sheltering a princess!?" Grumpy huffs from sounding a bit grumpy to point out how this happens right as Snow White was staying with them.
"Hmmm…?" Leon was heard moaning under breath: alerting the others but saw the guy was unable to wake up.
"Oh my…He seems hurt…?" Snow White lightly gasped from seeing a poor soul hurt.
The Seven Dwarfs looked to Leon carefully, trying to see if he was indeed hurt or if he was faking it. There were signs of injury and dirt on the skin and clothes, he may have been in a fight: possibly against the Gemstone Golem which even the Seven Dwarfs couldn't beat. Then Dopey poked the left arm area…
"AArrrrrugh!?" When Leon made a screeching cry, it caused poor Dopey to freak out and hid behind the other Dwarfs. "Ugh…danger…getaway…protect…oohhh…?" Leon's voice muffled a bit before completely losing conscious and his body went limp.
"Oh can't we bring him inside and treat his wounds? You owe him that much?" Snow White asked the Seven Dwarfs to help: after all, he did do something nice and helpful.
The Dwarfs felt uncertain and very confused, do they risk helping or ignore it to keep Snow White safe. Sure the person must have struggled and just barely won against Stoneheart since the evidence of having a Crystal Golem's Heart with the light faded means one defeated a Gemstone Golem: even by surprisingly just one's self. But then some of the forest animals began to approach Leon, a rabbit, a chipmunk, a squirrel, a raccoon, other birds and even the deer. Even more surprising, the animals sense something…unique about Leon, they looked between Snow White and back at the injured person. That's when the birds grabbed the cape to flap their wings to pull Leon upwards to allow the deer to slip between the arms while the little critters worked to lift up the dangling legs. The animals slowly were helping Leon approach the cottage.
"Golly, they're helping him inside?" Happy gasped in surprise as he saw something very unusual.
"Well um, I thought they were too shy to approach anyone…except the princess?" Bashful exclaimed from knowing the little animals were open to Snow White from her pureness of heart.
"Or be allergic to him!? Sniff…" Sneezy sniffs a bit when stating his thought.
"Well would you look at that? They must don't know something to sense? Ugh, I mean…They must sense something we don't know?" Doc tried to say but fumbled the words before correcting himself. "Men, let's just try to help this person who's in need before we head off to the mine. Agreed?" The rest of the Dwarfs looked around before nodding to agree with Doc's suggestion; except for Grumpy until eyes look to him.
"Oh fine…But after he's better, we'll question him! It's only right to know where he stands!" Grumpy moans and groans to agree but under a strict condition.
"Oh thank you, all of you." Snow White smiled to clap her hands with joy by the little men's goodness.
Soon the Seven Dwarfs went into the cottage and then took over the animals struggling to get the unconscious Leon upstairs. Snow White closed the door while watching the act as the forest animals observe. The princess decided to go into the kitchen to prepare something to help heal the injured soul that walk into their home. The scene slowly begins to fad out, but the adventure is not over yet. For Leon without knowing it, a pop-up window displayed important details.
