OSWALDS HIDEAWAY Mickey shrugged D'daear off and held his shoulder. "Didn't you fellas hear what I said? This is all my fault. I've already done enough damage." He propped himself onto a large couch and sulked sadly. "Besides, he doesn't trust me anyways..." Hikaru stepped forward to pat the mouse on the back. "Well... we trust you," he reassured. Base, Beuce, Stratos amd Raisor circled him with confidence. Hikaru took a knee and tried to cheer him up, the good old Disney way. "Mickey, you may not remember us... but we've seen what you can do when you set your mind to it. With the help of friends and teachers, you've done so much, and now you have friends that are depending on you... And I don't know about you, but the Mickey we know, has never abandoned a friend in need." Mickey's feets and challenges had been witnessed very recently by the party in Symphony of Sorcery, Timeless River, and Country of the Musketeers. The same old Mickey put into different scenarios, still managing to find his way in the end. Mickey gulped before hopping off the couch. He looked up the boys and smiled. "Thanks fellas... I needed that." He walked towards Ortensia and Horace with a determined look. "There's no amount of sorry that could make up for the damage I've done. But I'll make this right, just you wait!" The two nodded before Horace jumped to his feet. "I almost forgot!" Horace exclaimed. "Before y'all move out, some feller wanted me to give this to yah Mick!"He handed Mickey a small blue orb. Mickey examined the small relic with intrigue. "Man wouldn't tell me his name of what it was. Just said it needed to go to the Kindest heart I could find..." Mickey nodded before putting it away. "Thanks Horace... Now lets move out!" -------------------------------------------------------------- MAD DOCTORS LAB The Mad doctor cackled as his neck made a clanking sound before his animatronic neck revealed to rise up from Karina's forceful hands. The neck was like a metallic snake as he mocked her. "I'm sure you've realized now that I can't be harmed. My technical reflexes shall leave you disarmed." A quick censor from the corner of his eye caught Kaida's keyblde whizzing towards him, enough to parry it away with his skeletal fist. The blade managed to tear at his rubber glove to show the metallic bone structure that was lying underneath the Doctor's lanky body. "All these years I've kept in hiding was to stay aloof, I've upgrade myself, and YES! I'm fireproof..." He snarled at Kross' threat. "There's no need to waste any magic on a useless, dumb enemy like this him. I bet he doesn't know what half of these machines really do. They're probably here just for show." Luna commented. Before he could reply, Oswald charge in with Gus and Steel behind him. "Doc! Doc, are you home!" the rabbit yelled out as he marched in. The mad Doctor zapped his neck in a powerful wattage to force Karina's hands to release before his neck slithered back into it's socket. "You! My enemy has found my-" "AHEM!" Oswald interrupted his musical number as he tapped his foot impatiently. "I don't have time for this. I'm not here to start a fight. I just need your help with something." He scanned the room to see all the caged keyblade wielders. "And this will benefit anyone. "Hah! You think I need your help! Like some poor uncommon whelp?!" "He marched along forward as he began to reason with the charismatic mad man. "Look Doc, you know what happened when you tried to control the blot, and it's taken it's toll on you... I know it's hard. But trying to get their hearts won't work. So long as the blot is in control of wasteland, no one can leave." The doctor sunk into a saddened and angered funk. "Then all this... My plan was made for not.... I was to use their hearts, and escape that cursed BLOT!! And now it feels like the end, that's a bad place to start... All my goals... are falling apart..." The Doctor was maniacal and crazy, but it looked like he could be reasoned with. Like he told the others, he just wanted to be remembered again. "Not quite, my old man." Gus said, going back to fetch Steel. Steel had made claims as to not being associated with any of the caged prisoners in the room before Gus pushed him forward. "This lad seems to have accumulated the same ink powers as Oswald had. But done naturally! If we could reverse engineer the process and grant it to the other wielders, we'd stand a chance against the blot!" The Mad Doctor stroked his jaged beard as he contemplated this for a moment. "So what you say, is this young boy infused the ink. And this new data may just very be the link... But now tell me, when the fight is done and blot is goooooneee. Won't we all be trapped without the heart we've lacked so looooonggg." The Doctor explained that even if they were victorious, the rules of the heart would still be in play. Only keyblade wielders could leave. "Yes, I thought so, and you thought I'd be naive. But I have my plan here still put up my sleeve! With the hearts of these here wielders, I won't fall aaaapppaaaart! I'll use them to create my own Kinggggdooooooommmmm HEEEEAAARRRRTTTTTSSS!" He cackled as he avoided being duped by the rabbit. Oswald stood stone faced and kept with his argument. "Sure, you don't have to help them. In fact, if you took all their hearts, you're plan would probably work." The Doctor's fingers twiddled evilly at having outwitted Oswald this time. "But then what?" The Doctor's grin faded into confusion. "You still won't be remembered... You're like us, Doc. forgotten and left to live out our days in a book of the past. And you still won't be loved..." Oswald had become completely sympathetic to the Doctor and was withing arm's length of him now. "People like you and me... we may not be remembered ever again. But if you leave that way, you're not only throwing away the life you made here, but your life out there will be even more lonely." The Mad Doctor had a moment of clarity as to what he would have to do. "I'm not saying helping me will make you adored and remembered again... but that's not what love is Doc. Admiration doesn't come for the accomplishments you've done... but for who you are. And the kind things you did." Oswald took his own moment to take a moment of clarity. "I mean... why do you think they like that dumb mouse? He's done a lot of stupid stuff, but people still love him." The Doctor panicked and rushed over to his control panel to pull the switch. "Doc, I'm not promising that this will make people love you... But..." Oswald took a moment to walk a few steps forward and extend a hand. "It will make WORTHY of their love." The Doctor looked at Oswald's hand and then to the room around him. Caged, angered, and frightened people surrounded by machines and cages. He was alone in his own way. And the remains of his animatronic heart ached at the sight. His hand loosened off the lever and instead, pushed a green button that released all the wielders from their cages. He then walked up to Oswald, shaking his hand with his animatronic hand. "Strap the boy onto the table, his ability, I'll unfurl." He nodded and stuck out his chest with pride. "There is much I must to do to help save OUR world..."
With all the stumps dispatched, Mickey and Oswald had come out victorious. From behind them, the grumpy old oak tree towered and clapped his wooden branch hands together. "Hah! You little runts actually went and pulled it off, did ye?" He laughed as minions were beginning to circle around him. "But it looks like they still took a beating outta yah- And oooohhh.... No special healing in sight for the tired out rodents?" He pulled from behind his back the Orange Gem and tossed it a few times in his hand. "You know, this ain't even the real gem." He crushed the gem in his hands without even a second thought and watched as the dust fell to the ground. "I was meant to lead you two on a wild goose chase, but if I can show Mistress Mizrabel that I can defeat THREE of you instead of TWO... Why, she may even just promote me!" The old oak was not smart to be sure, but his negligence could be proven to be an advantage if this played out right. From the inside of his hollow shell, he took out a Yellow Crystal Gem and tossed it in front of them. "I don't know whose in that thing, but I want this here to be a fair fight... So when my little friends and I take you down, it's by my own, cold hands." The Yellow gem glowed as it began to slowly rise in front of them, the old oak crossing his arms with little to no impression of fear. "Come on now! Let's see who your lucky last hope will be!" The Yellow Crystal Gem has changed shape.... Pluto has joined the Party! "HAHAHAHA! THE DOG?!" He barked. "Of all the allies you could have gotten, you were stuck with the mutt. If I could cry from laughter I would, ahahaha-" The oak tree hacked and wheezed as he continued to laugh.
The retired Captain simply laughed gruffly at Xara's enthusiasm and curiosity. "The curiosity of a child is a marvelous thing," he replied to Veera. "It allows them to grow and experience, so I don't mind answerin' a few things here and there while we travel..." He walked slowly along the pathway and tried not to strain himself. His scars and breathing showed that he had done a lot of fighting in his life. "This... war you think is going on. You're right to fear it. Word travels around the dark realm that something big is going to happen soon. Something that will change the ways of light and darkness forever." He showed her his analog watch as they strolled together. "That's why it's wise to keep track of how and where. While the flow of time is different between the realms, you should always keep track of the time. Time is limited in your later years, so I can see why the children wouldn't think much of it, but you," He was referring to Veera now. "You're getting to the age where you should be more aware of your surroundings," he chuckled. "For example. I have been in the realm of darkness for almost 20 years now. As you can see, I've seen my fair share of battle and blood shed. Friends. Family. The innocent. I've seen many perish, but I continue on. Long as there's still breath in my lungs, I fight the good fight." He lead the group to a small cave that was even darker on the inside. "Inside this cave holds a very valuable asset to return to the realm of light. "I need a strong enough light to seek it though. My years of battle and pain have left my light reduced, but you- You three may be just the beacon I'm searching for." He showed them the pitch black darkness of the cave compared to the already dim lighting of the realm itself. "Light can only be cherished when found in the depths of darkness," he advised. "Shall we?"
OSWALD'S HIDEAWAY Oswald slapped away Raisor's hands and brushed himself off to land flatly on the ground, still with his agitated scowl at Mickey. "You know what you did you monster!!" Ortensia, afraid and confused tried to come him down. "Ozzy... what are you talking about?" She blinked innocently at him and back to the roughed up guest. "Tell them... Tell them all what you did three years ago. Tell them that this is all your fault!" Mickey held him hurt arm and picked himself up with a sad expression. He looked to the rabbit with eyes of pleading for forgiveness. Eyes that were met with no avail. In knowing this, he took a deep breath and began his troublesome story. "It uhh... all began when I bough this mirror, yah see. One day while I was just mindin' my own business, I saw this weird light and-" "They know how portals work! Skip to the part where you doomed us all!" Oswald barked. Mickey gulped before painfully continuing. "So after I found myself in the wizard's workshop, I found this book, and next to it was this brush and magic ink and thinner. Fiddling with the brush and some paint, I tried to make a self-portrait, and I... accidently made the world tainted somehow..." "You mean to tell me our world's a muck because you were touchin' stuff you didn't know?" Horace asked in shock. "Wait till he finishes," Oswald warned. "Thanks to that mountain of junk from your house, I pieced together the entire story on my own. Tell them what happened next Mouse." "I... I panicked. I tried to erase the Blot by throwing paint thinner onto it, but I spilled more paint on the model in the process. When I heard some one coming, I tried to clean up the mess, I really did!! But I was in such a hurry, that I spilled thinner onto the paint spillage and ran back through the mirror." "Well... that blot survived your attempted fix and took the thinner with him. Now whatever that blot is has taken control of our world! And now we have no way to stop it!" "Now hold on a minute Oswald! I may have something!" Gus interrupted. The little gremlin was swerving around the one called 'Steel' with a scanner of sorts, noting his different vitals. "It appears this one absorbed from of the ink... If we could somehow replicate the bonding process, we can create symbiotic bonds for all those who wish to join the fight!" he explained with glee. "Perhaps if we were to visit the Doctor! He didn't once for you, he can do it again!" Oswald stopped to consider this. "I don't know Gus... the Doc hasn't been all there lately. Besides, I know he's been coming up with his own plans to conquer wasteland... He tried before, remember?" "Yes, this is true.... But you stopped him! And while the doctor may be arrogant, he is by no means foolish! if we go, he goes. This is as much a chance for him then it is for us to survive!" Against his better judgement, the rabbit nodded. "Alright kid, field trip time." "Great!" Mickey said with hope. "We'll find this doctor and fix everything back to normal!" Oswald turned and pointed his kingdom key towards the mouse. "We?... WE aren't doing anything together. Me, Gus, and the kid are going ahead. You're staying here. If Ortensia wasn't here, I'd knock you one good!" "But I can help. I WANT to help! I have some of the ink too bonded to me to... I just want to make things right." "That's nice... but you're too late. You didn't help then, and you can't help now. I only work with people I trust. And I don't trust you." He looked to the rest of the over-worlders behind him. "I don't trust any of you." He looked to Steel to ensure he knew that he was no exception to that rule." He took Steel and Gus through a portal to leave the rest behind. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MAD DOCTOR'S LAB Taking note of all their words, the Doctor lamented in sadness over his robotic state. "It's so sad / So sad to say the least. I was a Toon in Wasteland. Living in peace." The doctor wheezed and gagged on his coughs. "But my thirst for power nearly got demonic. To control the blot, I became animatronic. It feels like the end. That's a bad place to start. Look at me! I'm falling apaaaaart." He opened his chest to show that cogs and springs were snapping out like he was poorly put together. "So... This is why you're in a cage without a door, I find this method proves that less is truly more. You keyblades only open doors and locks, this is a fact! So save you little tough guy and girl acts!" He walked around as he chanted to them, eventually reaching Karina's cage and blowing a raspberry at her.

As Mickey and Oswald continued their journey, 2 rows of 10 smaller enchanted stumps stopped them in their tracks. These stumps looked to be followers of the grumpy old one that rolled away, They marched along in place in prestine formation, not allowing either of them to pass. "Mickey!" Dreamer's voice echoed. "Those are some of the Old Oak's followers. ou both have your keyblades, but be warned... Your abilities have been limited here. I've mustered enough magic to grant you each FIVE of your unique abilities." The Oswald Wiki page has been created! The Mickey Wiki page has been created! "Now I'll run you through some of the basics... These battle are different fromt he ones you may have faced in the past. The main threat you face is aligned with minions to occupy you in battle. While they may not be too powerful, greater numbers will ensure your downfall. So do your best to keep their numbers limited!" "I've also managed to realign your battle statistics so you stand a fighting chance. Here are the updates; Your POW stat is your strength. The brute and physical force you use to defeat your enemies. Your DEF stat is your defense. It is the percentage on how much damage you can take in a battle. Your TEC stat is your technial strength. Magic and ranged attacks that allow the user to be creative with their attacks. Your LUV stat is your Love. A shield you can use in times of need. If you are ever in a pinch, you can always rely on Love. Your LUK stat is your Luck. Evasion, Critical chance, possibility of affliction, these are all based on the percentage that is the luck stat. There is no speed stat this time around. The enemy attacks as a unit and so do you! I've managed to stabilize your Health and Magic points, but they are locked. I'm afraid they cannot go any higher..." A menu appears with three possible battle options. The "Attack" command allows the player to rely on a simple attack of their POW (Power) stat. These attacks are week, but allow you to replenish MP. "The "Guard" command uses your LUV (Love) stat to shield you from damage. But use this sparingly! Once your LUV is depleted, it will be a while before it can replenish. The "Skill" command allows you to use one of your five special abilities in battle. Use them sparingly, as some use more MP than others. There is no cooldown. "I'm afraid this is all I can do for now... Good luck to you both. Rely on each other and keep moving forward!"

"Get out?" the old man scoffed. That's like asking how you get red out of an apple... You can't just go and remove the color. It usually involves some skin peeling..." He scanned the woman and children once more as if looking for something in particular from them. "But if you've been trapped here this long and still haven't kicked the bucket, then I'd consider you all fairly lucky." He held out his hand and summoned a keyblade of his own. The hilt looked heavy, as it's design was as simple as they came. And old, rustic design, with scratches all along the blade. "I've been here for some time now. You could say I'm just an old war horse that never stopped fighting." He held out his hand to Veera. "Captain Marshall Hughes... at your service." He looked intently at Xara's keyblade. "I'm guessing that little lady's light in her blade drew you all to my location... Keyblades are kinda funny like that. They're like beacons of light that shine there way past the darkness. Signalling whatever passerby's they can." His eyes seemed to be getting nostalgic as he shook his head out of it. "But I'm guessing you're more interest in an exit strategy." He dispersed his keyblade and turned to lead them in a new direction. "If that's the case, then try to keep up! If an old man like me can keep going then so can you."
OSWALD'S HIDEAWAY "Oswald! You're alright!" 'daear called out. "For now," Oswald reassured. "As soon as more of your friends show up, I can start building up a way to-" Soon after, Raisor popped in. "So, anyone wanna tell me what's going on? Where am I? Who's the rabbits? And I guess this is a little bit having to do with the first, but how did a portal pop out of nowhere to get me here?" "I'm a cat!" Ortensia pouted, folding her arms. "That was me," Oswald held up a small remote with a red button. "It's my fail safe. I installed them around wasteland shortly after the shadow blot grew in power. If he began to grow to strong for me, I'd use the protocol to get as many toons here as I could." A small cry of pain was heard upon stratos' entry. "Glad to see that me and her," noticing Cailyn wasn't here yet he appended it saying, "whenever she gets here, aren't the only keyblade wielders that are still in this wasteland." Gus followed close behind him as he whizzed towards Oswald. "Thank the creator, you're still here!" Gus brimmed with glee. "I was afraid they'd gotten to you." "You should know Im made of tougher stuff than that gus!" he smiled, shaking the gremlin's hands. "I was hoping more toons would stop by... any sign of 'em?" Gus' expression declined. "I'm afraid it is most unlikely. The blot's battalion of blotlings are patrolling each section of wasteland. Making sure no one leaves their homes. The rest of the wielders are being abducted." He turned to Stratos. "I imagine at least half of your friends are already in captivity..." As this went on, Beuce, Horace, and Base popped in to join the conversation. "So, I'm gonna go under the assumption that people who are missing from here got taken by the ink. Oswald, do you have any idea what happens to people who are taken? Where they go? If there's any way to rescue them? As long as it doesn't involve immortal, self-replicating brooms I think we should give it a shot." Ortensia and Oswald looked at each other with confusion. Talk of animted brooms even in Wasteland was a bit of a stretch. They just assumed he was the eccentric "special one of the bunch." "Uhh, agreed," Oswald said politely. The projector screen lit up again as Mickey and Hikaru flopped into the room out of the portal. "AAh!" Hikaru fell with a thud with Mickey right beside him. H pushed his hand against the floor to push himself up and place his weight on his knee. "Man, I'll never get the hang of that." Standing now upright, he dusted off his jacket and looked around the room. "Base! Beuce! He pondered around to see other familiar faces he'd encountered on his travels. "Everyone! There's these blot things that." "We know," Gus implied. "And Glen and Kaida, they were taken to-" "We know," He repeated again. This made Hikaru hold his tongue before continuing further. "Well, I'm glad to see you made it back safe. He looked around the room to see if anyone else he knew more personally was there. There seemed to be a very noticeable lack of girls, as well as the lack of Kel and Kross. "So I take it you are alone my boy?" Gus asked concerned. Hikaru stepped back at the sight of the red mechanical gizmo flying around him. "Uhh, not exactly, I found a friend," he said as Mickey stepped forward. Oswald clenched his fist and twitched an eye at the sight of him. "Gee, glad to see not everyone was lost!" Mickey smiled, looking around the room. He stopped at the sight of black and white Horace with shock. "Horace! You got sucked in too? Aww, sad to see you here, but I'm glad I've got at least one old friendly face!" Horace stepped forward timidly. "Mick? But, I've always been stuck here... I haven't even seen you in decades." "Oh, well I know I disappeared for a few years, but it hasn't been that long!" Mickey asked in confusion. "I saw you on the outside! You were standing right next to princess Minnie!" Horace scratched his head with a weak smile. "Well, as glad as I am that some one remembered me, it must be some other horse..." he sadly commented. "Well whatever the case, we can't lose hope! We'll find a way outta here somehow!" He looked around the room to see more wielders from DisneyTown, until his gaze stopped at Oswald. "Say, have we met before?" He asked. Oswald's eyebrows furrowed as Mickey blissfully thought to himself. "I know you seem familiar, but I just don't know where you are in the old memory bank." He knocked his head twice with a chuckle. "Anyways, my name is-" "Mickey... Mouse..." Oswald interrupted, saying each syllable of his name with a burning hatred. "Oh, so we do know each other?!" "You could say that..." Oswald grunted. "It's been some time, but now I can finally do what I've wanted to for so long." Mickey's eyes popped up. "Really, what's that?" he smiled with intrigue. "THIS!" He tackled down the mouse as they both rolled to the corner. Oswald grabbed Mickey by the ears and tugged at them, causing Mickey to cry out in pain. "YYOOOOWWWW!" Ortensia followed closely behind them. "Oswald please! Just stop!" She cried.
"Halt!" A gruff voice called out to Xara. As she was racing through the realm of darkness, an old man appearing in his sixties, ordered her to stop in her tracks. He was a pale old man with short white hair that was pushed back on his head. His beard was thick and shaggy with a mustache to match. He smelled of burnt ashes and cigarettes, but still showed off a hint of passive understanding. "Wait.. you're just... you're just a kid?!" He yelled in shock. He hopped forward towards the purple haired girl to examine her closely. "What's your business here? No one ever travels this deep into darkness." He looked closer at the keyblade she was holding and widened his soft blue eyes. "Oh... so your heart brought you here..." He chuckled in his gruff voice. He peered behind her to see both Veera and Eon trailing a long. "And you've got a family huh? Gotta say, I'm a bit surprised. Most folk are already filled to the brim with the effects of darkness... The kids I can understand, but what about you lady?" He called to Veera. "You're heart seems light enough. What gives with the lack of darkness?"
Really enjoying the humane feel thus far. Along with Ancel, the huge landscape and nature are what's drawing me in. I can see myself loving to control the eagle flying high above.
MAD DOCTOR'S LAB "So is this the part that you go on a big rant about what your evil plan is then I go and defeat you because of that? If so can we skip the talking and go to the point that I kick your butt?" Karina asked in an unimpressed voice as she raised her keyblade to attempt to use it in order to unlock the cage. The Doctor turned to face the outward speakers. "My plan... My plan is-" The Mad Doctor started strong into the singing but stopped to hack as he covered his mouth with his gloved fist. He hacked and wheezed into his hand before sighing to look at them. "His furrowed eyebrows weakened, but still showed malicious intent. "My plan... My plan is to be whole..." He began singing slowly. "To be complete with my own body, heart and soul." "Why don't you get yourself over here and fight instead of hiding behind your cages and machik'!" Kross exclaimed. "I am a man of science! And not of such compliance! Your mockery will be your DOOM! If you wish to get out of that cage, I will switch it for your TOMB!" He threatened, pushing a button to bring out mechanical weapons from the wall. They were not close enough to harm thr group, but just put around them for dramatic and terrifying effect. "Hey you!! What do you mean when you said you'll be a toon again?!?!?!? And why do you need us!?!?!?" Luna continued to shout toward the Mad Scientist as she grew anxious as time slowly passed by. "You all have hearts to wield the key, those hearts seldom forgotten... If I cannot restore myself then I shall soon be rotten..." He opened up his lab coat chest to reveal not flesh, but a slow of robotic and animatronic parts. Spinning gears and gaskets of smoke puffed out of the Mad Doctor, causing him to cough in sickness. "Wait a minute Doctor Offpitch, how exactly would getting hearts turn you into a toon? Seems kind of counterproductive, I would think hearts would maybe stop you from being a toon or something. No seriously, this is interesting, I wanna see how this works if you wouldn't mind letting me out of this cage to see this apparent magic you are going to perform with hearts to make yourself a toon." Kaida explained. "You'd like that...would you not? But there's one thing you have forgot. I am no such fancy wizard, Just a man who cut and scissored himseeeeeeeeeeeellllfff!!!" He held that last note long with his handto the sky, before clenching it back into his chest. "All for the call of power, I gave up my mortal cast, So I could control the blot and gain such power very fast. I was however, Stopped! By a small and lucky toon, who foiled my plans and put on this track so soon." He pulled out a chalkboard that showed systemic diagrams of hearts and the science behind them. "Though I may have lost my body, I'll re-animate myself, And I will show you how I do it as I pluck hearts from your shelf!" He pointed at their chests to convey the symbolism. "I have a nice machine, that will make it all seem painless, But the mark it leaves your empty soul will be far beyond stainless." He pulled a lever as a giant plunger out of an odd cartoon descended from the ceiling panel. "You see, I chose to ally myself with quite the mighty blot, So I could get out of this here world and never be forgot! There are three methods you see! That seems to have suffice, And I'll tell you, so stop mocking me! And maybe I'll be nice..." He cleared his throat as he tried to brush of their agitation and curiosity. He prepared to show them all the only methods of escaping Wasteland. "The first, which I will do, is to accumulate the hearts, Of those who have strong enough of light, to help me to restart! the next, which is quite simple, it's to have the right of key, And there are so very few these days with ability! The next, which is a longshot, but many see the hope, Of the thought that many people gather and throw down a rope! You see, the third way to get out is harder than I please... It's for large amounts of people to recall all of your deeds!" The Mad Doctor pointed to a picture on the chalkboard titled "Dream Festical" An event held in Disney Town that presents the "Million Dreams Award" to some one who has been favored and beloved by all.
