Kingdom Hearts: Pangaea

[RedPiggy]

Author’s Note: MC ate this stupid post! Argh! Lesson, boys and girls – don’t write fic chapters straight on MC. Write it on Word or something first. Otherwise, kiss it goodbye. Ahem. Anyway, this is a fic where I imagine Dinosaurs is a level in Kingdom Hearts 3. I have no idea what will happen in that game, but that won’t stop me from writing this! Read a fic about a Muppet Show level of Kingdom Hearts … because that was cool, too.

Pre-Climax Story
Sora, Donald, and Goofy land in a misty swamp. Sora is dressed in a Georgie costume, which is like an orange hippo but with a dinosaur tail in the back. Donald is a white pterodactyl. Goofy wears a fur caveman costume. Sora stares at his costume while Donald and Goofy snicker at him. Sora tries to pull off the head of the costume, but it’s stuck. Donald and Goofy nearly double over, laughing.

Sora (angrily): It’s not funny!

Donald (laughs): You look like a theme park mascot!

Goofy (to Donald): You look purdy keen yerself, Donald.

Donald (stares at his leathery wings, disgusted): My poor, poor feathers ….

Goofy: Aw, shucks, Donald – I think the look suits ya.

Donald (mumbles): You WOULD, insurance salesman.

Sora: Let’s focus on the task at hand, shall we? We need to find out how Xenahort ties in to the ancient Keyblade Wars.

Donald (yells): WE KNOW! WE KNOW!

Goofy: Well, there’s no reason to be surly, Donald.

Sora (nudges Donald): Yeah. You don’t have to shout. We’re right here.

Donald (mumbles and walks ahead of them)

The trio come across a large moldy sign advertising new tract homes courtesy of Wesayso.

Sora (confused): What’s a tract home?


Adolescent male voice: HELP! HELP ME!

The trio turn and close to the edge of the swamp, a tall lanky green dinosaur with a spiky Mohawk and dressed in a red and white varsity jacket and black-striped t-shirt runs away from a fat brown dinosaur with dark round glasses and a Viking helmet and a black leather vest. The lanky green dinosaur stumbles over some bushes and barely avoids being pounced on by its pursuer.

Sora (in awe): Wow … dinosaurs ….

Goofy: Maybe we should help him?

Donald: How can you tell what’s a boy and what’s a girl?

The trio rushes over as the tall lanky green dinosaur hides behind a group of trees. A message appears on the screen: Sora learned Tail Bash! Donald learned Ancient Hurricane! Goofy learned Bone Shield! Tail Bash shows Sora using the tail of his costume to trip the enemy. Ancient Hurricane involves Donald flying up in the air and twirling around, battering the opponent with a wind storm. Bone Shield makes Goofy’s shield shoot bones out at the enemy. These abilities are only available on this world.

Fat brown dinosaur in-battle dialogue (Arnold Schwar … please don’t make me spell it … anyway, Arnie’s accent): I’ll give you to the count of three so you can run and hide like a scared little bunny. *laughs* You can be our own in-house victim! Ready or not – where’s your brains? So – you wanna join the Scavengers? *after a pterodactyl flies overhead, announcing Andre’s name and all his accomplishments* SHUT UP! I KNOW WHO I AM! *whacks pterodactyl*

When Andre’s down to a quarter health, he burps loudly, staggers around, and falls into the swamp, only to float away.

The lanky green dinosaur (comes out of hiding and approaches the trio): Thanks!

Sora: No problem! Glad we could help.

Green dinosaur (gawks at Sora, snickers): Why are you dressed like that? You look like a stupid theme park mascot.

Donald and Goofy (snicker)

Sora (hangs his head, sighs): It’s stuck.

Green dinosaur (takes off the Georgie head): There you go. Is that better?

Sora (inhales): I can sure breathe a lot better. Thanks. I’m Sora. *points to his friends* That’s Donald, and that’s Goofy. What’s YOUR name?

Green dinosaur: Oh, I’m Robert Mark Sinclair. You can call me Robbie. The only time I hear my full name is when Mom’s about to eat me.

Donald: O_O Your mother would EAT you?

Robbie (shrugs): Yeah. It’s a food chain thing. If a young dinosaur disobeys the parents, the Book of Dinosaur clearly states that parents have a right to eat their young.

Goofy: That’s AWFUL!

Robbie: Yeah, well, that’s why I tried to join this pack called the Scavengers. I’m tired of my mother always bossing me around! I’m 16 years old! She can’t tell me what to do!

Sora: Uh … well … I hope you two can work that out. We really need to get going. See, we’re trying to investigate an evil villain who wants to spread darkness and destruction all over the universe.

Robbie: Mr. Richfield?

Sora, Donald, and Goofy (looking at each other in confusion): Mr. Richfield?

Robbie (nods): Yeah. He works for Wesayso and wants to destroy all the trees so he can build prefabricated homes.

Sora (softly): That’s awful!

Goofy: Well, gawrsh, why doncha just tell him to stop?

Robbie (laughs): Yeah, right.

Sora: Maybe we should talk to him. I’m sure he can listen to reason.

Robbie (gawks at Sora): Uh, maybe. *brightens up* If you REALLY want to talk to Mr. Richfield, I’m gonna need you to prove your worth. You did a great job with Andre, but if you REALLY want a test of your abilities, there’s only one other dinosaur to meet. I can take you to him. *flip transition*

Robbie, Sora, Donald, and Goofy stand outside the Sinclair house, staring into the window, looking as a small pink dinosaur in a high chair watches TV in what appears to be a kitchen. A glowing save point can be seen near the back door on the right. The high chair has a small phone and a remote control for the TV on it. Robbie opens the door and pushes the trio into the house.

Robbie: Okay, here’s the thing: this is my baby brother. Mom’ll be home in another hour. Keep him happy while I go make sure Caroline wants to go to the movies with me Friday night.

Donald: YOU MEAN WE’RE BABYSITTING?

Robbie (shrugs): Yep.

Sora: How can you just leave your brother alone?

Robbie (shrugs again): I’m a teenager. Girls are more important than responsibility. *waves* See ya. *rushes to the door and exits, locking the door behind him*

Donald: I don’t believe this ….

Baby (angrily): I don’t either! I’m gonna tell! *inhales deeply* MOMMA! MOMMA!

Sora (panicking, trying to calm Baby): Don’t yell! Don’t yell! We’re here to do anything you say! We’ll have lots of fun! *reaches out a hand to pet Baby on the hand, but jumps back in terror as Baby snaps at him*

Baby: I don’t – wait. You have to do ANYTHING I say?

Sora, Donald, and Goofy (nodding profusely): Just stay happy!

Baby (laughs maliciously): Okay! *points to phone* Baby not happy … Baby call Momma! Momma eat you!

Sora (sighs): Fine. What do you want us to do first?

Baby (points to the TV): Dance! Like on TV!

A mini-game begins where DTV plays music videos and Sora, Donald, and Goofy must synchronize their dance moves to the music using button combos. A vertical meter appears on the right side of the screen with an angry Baby on the bottom and a happy Baby on the top.

If you win:

Baby (laughs and claps): AGAIN! AGAIN!

The kitchen of the Sinclair house becomes an area that can be explored, with a save point by the back door. The kitchen island and the refrigerator sparkle, letting the player know there are two other mini-games.

If you lose:

Baby (picks up the phone): Hello, Momma? Come eat intruders!

Donald (grabs phone from Baby): Hey! *stares at phone* This is a TOY phone!

Baby (embarrassed): I’m the baby … gotta love me?

Sora (sighs): Let’s try this again….

Sora walks behind the kitchen island counter and a prompt appears: “Start Mini-game.”

Baby (angrily): I’m hungry! Feed my mouth! Fill my belly!

Sora: Okay, okay!

Baby starts giving instructions for how to fix his meals. First, Sora must locate his meat-filled baby bottle. Baby says “warmer” or “cooler” based on where you stand in the kitchen. Sometimes, though, Baby will lie to you and you will find toys or traps, making Baby laugh and clap his hands. After you retrieve the baby bottle and give it to Baby, you must assemble a meal from an increasingly long list of silly groceries. You are given a time limit of one and a half minutes. Assemble it out of order or run out of time and the “lose” scenario plays. If you win, there’s still the fridge game.

The critters who live in the fridge decide to escape so they won’t get eaten. You are forced to capture all the creatures after knocking them unconscious. You have three minutes to capture them all and return them to the fridge. You must then use your keyblade to lock the fridge so they can’t escape again.

After all three mini-games are completed, Fran arrives home with a bag of groceries.

Fran (shocked): What are you and what are you doing here? *calls out* Robbie! *frowns* ROBERT MARK SINCLAIR! GET YOUR LAZY LITTLE GREEN TAIL DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!

Sora (trembles): B-but, ma’am … we were just helping your son take care of the baby. He’s very cute.

Goofy: He’s been so well-behaved, too.

Donald (under his breath): For a complete monster.

Baby (throws the toy phone at Donald, knocking him out, laughs)

Fran (looks over with a motherly expression at Baby and sighs): Thank you all for taking care of my baby. *curtly* I’ll deal with Robbie LATER.

Sora (gets down on his knees): Please don’t eat your son, Mrs. Sinclair! He has a good reason!

Fran (shakes her head, rolling her eyes): I can imagine – he said he had a date tonight.

Goofy (shaking his head): No, ma’am … we’re tryin’ ta … uh … protect the land from … um … Mr. Richfield!

Fran (raises an eyebrow): Mr. Richfield?

Sora (nods enthusiastically and stands up): Yes, ma’am! Robbie told us he was an evil tyrant and we want to help!

Fran (sighs): Earl will be LIVID.

Donald: Earl?

Fran (nods): My husband. Mr. Richfield’s his boss and Earl is too scared of him to protest anything that boss of his does. *checks a clock on the wall* He’ll be home in a bit. I need to fix his supper – and the Baby’s, too.

Goofy: Gawrsh, we already took care of that….

Baby (burps loudly and giggles)

Fran (smiles): Maybe you CAN stay after all. You’ve been SUCH a great help! I don’t know HOW I can repay you.

To be continued …

[The Count]

Will there be another installment? Please?

[RedPiggy]

After the conversation with Fran, the Babysitting Baby mini-games are unlocked for free play. Winning will result in 50 munny each (after all, the Sinclairs are working stiffs and can’t just come up with a lot of cash). Fran and Baby will both be available to talk to, as well as Donald and Goofy. Their speech will be in text boxes. Baby will be in his high chair and Fran will be at the kitchen island, cooking. Any time spent in the Sinclair house (not counting cut-scenes) will have the instrumental show theme song on loop.

Baby: *angrily* Move! You’re blocking the TV! I’m the baby … gotta love me! I’m a merchandising icon! I whack Not the Momma on the head with a frying pan! Daddy works at a mind-numbing job! Did you bring me a present? Charlene’s at the mall. I like it when Grandma reads to me.

Fran: Thank you for taking care of Baby on such short notice. I’m sorry you can’t be paid more, but Earl’s hours have been reduced. I volunteer at a counseling center for amphibians. It’s good to get out of the house some. Dinosaurs have only been civilized for a few million years now. I’m worried Spike is a bad influence on Robbie.

Donald: I miss my feathers. I’m glad she’s not gonna eat us. My head still hurts.

Goofy: Hey, this music’s kinda catchy – just like The Rite of Spring. We must be too far in the past. I had no idea dinosaurs could talk.

A command prompt appears in front of the phone when Sora walks to it. A cutscene begins.

Sora (picks up the phone only to cringe as there is indeterminate yelling on the other end, hands it to Fran): Here you go.

Fran (takes phone): Yes? Oh! Mr. Richfield! *jaw drops* What do you MEAN Earl didn’t show up for work today? *pause as she listens to more yelling*

Mr. Richfield: -- OR HE’LL BE FIRED!

Fran (sighs): Of course I’ll find him and tell him, Mr. Richfield. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. *hangs up*

Sora (nervous): So, um, what’s up?

Fran (sighs, clenching her fists)

Baby (wide-eyed with wonder): Not the Momma’s in … TROUBLE ….

Fran (glancing at him, frowning): Yes … yes, he is.

Baby (giggles)

Fran (to Sora): If I go try to find Earl – I’m going to tear his face off with my bare teeth. Would you mind doing me a favor?

Goofy (helpfully): Ya wan’ us ta go look for him?

Fran (to Goofy, smiling): Yes, that would be lovely. Please check the rest of the house. If he’s not there, he might be wandering around the forest with his work buddies.

Sora (nods): Sure. What should we tell him?

Fran (glares at Sora): Tell him his WIFE is looking for him. He’s not the smartest dinosaur, but he’ll get the message.

Sora (laughs nervously and nods)

Sora, Donald, and Goofy can now explore the entire Sinclair house. Each room can be entered with the name of the room (eventually) appearing at the bottom of the screen and must be loaded individually. The living room has a couple of treasure chests including a map chest. There is a double door in the back, a fireplace in the back right of the room, a television in the front left of the room, the white sofa (which looks like it’s made of carved bone) in the center, and a bookshelf behind Earl’s “recliner”, which is nothing more than a stool and two armrests. Ethyl Phillips is sleeping on the sofa, with her wheelchair on the side. If Sora tries to interact with her, a message appears. “She’s asleep. It’s best not to wake her.” Sora can explore the bookshelf, with messages identifying family objects such as portraits and the Book of Dinosaur. A reaction command will appear in front of the television when Sora approaches it, saying “Turn On”. There will be a total of four programs: a short of Exploding Cop 2, a short of Box Full of Puppies, a Wesayso commercial, and a special news bulletin from Howard Handupme which announces that polls indicate dinosaurs believe video games will make children lazy.

Baby’s room will have one treasure chest next to his white crib. The walls are decorated with various shapes. A mobile with glow in the dark stars hangs over the crib. Sora can search a pile of toys and a message appears. “Baby Sinclair goes through a lot of toys.” Sora can search the crib and a message appears. “It looks like there is a hole under the crib.”

Charlene’s room upstairs on the right side of the hallway is locked, as is the bathroom.

On the far left of the hallway upstairs is Earl and Fran’s room. There is a low bed on the right and a dresser on the left. There is a special treasure chest where a “mammoth surprise” meal is located. A message appears below it on the item menu: “Earl’s favorite meal. He can’t resist it.”

Upon exiting, Robbie’s room is between Earl and Fran’s room and Charlene’s room. When the trio enter Robbie’s room, a cutscene begins. Robbie’s room has a bed on the right and a desk on the left, filled with books and school papers. There is also an 8-track player on the desk. There is a rope fastened to the desk that leads out of an open semi-circular window.

Goofy (looking around – the Teenage Mutant Ninja Cavemen poster can be seen on the door behind him): Gawrsh, this must be Robbie’s room.

Donald (shakes his head): This looks like something my nephews would have in THEIR rooms.

Sora (sighs): Well, nothing’s in here. We might as well go outside and check the forest. *turns toward the window as he hears grunting and the rope squeaking* What’s that?

Robbie climbs up and enters the room through the window, falling over the desk and landing on the floor with a thud. Sora, Donald, and Goofy stare over him.

Robbie (laughs nervously): Uh … hi?

Sora (frowning): You dumped us to go on a date.

Robbie: Technically, I only ASKED her out on a date.

Donald (angrily): Well, while you were busy shirking responsibility, your father’s gone missing!

Robbie (jumping up, making the trio stumble backwards): What?

Goofy (nods): Your mother got a call from Mr. Richfield. He said yer ol’ man never showed up fer work today.

Sora (nods): Your mom said we should check the forest.

Robbie (crestfallen): That’s on the way to Mr. Richfield’s trailer. He’ll rip out our rib cages and use them as a xylophone.

Sora (sternly): We HAVE to go find your father! What if he’s hurt?

Robbie (sighs): Fine. How will we convince him to come home? He’ll know Mom’s upset with him.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy (look at each other and shrugs)

Sora (snaps his fingers): Wait! We found something called “mammoth surprise” in his room!

Robbie (nods): That might work. *claps hands together* Alright … I guess we should go get him. We’ll go out the back double door. It’s in the living room.

Robbie, Sora, Donald, and Goofy silently file out of the house while Grandma Ethyl still sleeps on the sofa.

This is the first major area where Sora and his team can level up. The forest is a large vertically rectangular space with dozens of large trees, tree stumps, and shrubbery. A couple of Wesayso signs point the way to Richfield’s trailer area, which will be beyond the top of the forest map. There are a few treasure chests. The following Heartless start appearing: Creeper Plants (stationary flowers that fire seeds), Hook Bats (bats with a large hook for feet), and Rapid Thrusters (like a bright yellow beak with short black wings).

Robbie (wide-eyed, terrified): Wh-what ARE those things?

Sora (readying his keyblade): Those’re heartless!

Donald (determined): We gotta defeat ‘em!

Robbie: B-but I don’t know how to fight!

Sora (nods): Then let us take care of it!

Each Heartless comes in a wave of ten. After the last wave is defeated, Sora and the rest of the gang head towards the back of the forest area.

To Be Continued ….

[The Count]

Wow, this is rully great. *Waits eagerly for next segment.

[RedPiggy]

Right before the trio and Robbie enter the next area, a cutscene begins. A large arm clad in a long-sleeved black leather jacket grabs Robbie and pulls him left out of the frame. Sora and the others turn around and spy Spike dragging Robbie back a few yards.

Sora (readying his keyblade): Aw, come ON … enough already!

Robbie (trying to get free): Spike! Let go of me!

Spike: You’re not SERIOUSLY thinking of hittin’ da Richfield trailer, are ya?

Goofy: We’re here to find Robbie’s father!

Donald: Yeah!

Spike (raises an eyebrow as he stares at the trio, then turns to Robbie, smirking): You bring carry-out wit’ you?

Robbie (gets free): They’re not food, Spike. They’re going to help me get Dad.

Spike (frowns): Tut, tut – don’t try ta kid a kiddah, Sinclair. Just like you only wanted ta join da Scavengers ta get outta gettin’ grounded, I know yer only bringin’ dem along ta do all de dirty work for ya.

Robbie (offended): I can be vicious!

Spike (grins): I also hear you are da most picked-on kid in school. That veg kick you went on really damaged any kind of “vicious” rep you may have evah had. *chuckles*

Robbie (scoffs): Oh, and I guess YOU’RE the most dangerous dinosaur around?

Spike (keeps grinning): Ask around. *pats Robbie on the shoulder* You wanna live past the boss battle, kid, you gotta shape up yer game. Yer main problem is dat you only got enough meat on yer bones ta starve most predators inta extinction. *laughs*

Robbie (rolls his eyes): And I guess this means you have some suggestions?

Spike (gets dead serious): Yer Mom still cookin’ supper?

Robbie: Yeah ….

Spike (nods and beams): Sure! I got plenty of suggestions. *raises his index finger* First of all, you four stink. Richfield is t’ree times MY size. Even da four o’ you put together can’t outmuscle him.

Sora (offended): We’ve defeated HUMONGOUS monsters. How bad can it be?

Spike (stares at Sora dryly): Dose monsters evah wanna EAT ya, kid?

Sora: Uh….

Spike: T’ought so. *to Robbie* Look, I help you out – I t’ink I deserve a little … compensation.

Robbie (angrily): Will you just go ahead and tell us already? I already SAID you could come over for dinner!

Spike (claps his hands together once): Okey-dokey. First t’ting we’re gonna do is stretch dose little neurons o’ yours. Now, go ahead an’ hit me. *Robbie takes a swing but Spike jerks back* Oooooh, so close, an’ yet … so far. *to Sora* You t’ink you can do bettah, buttah cup? All t’ree o’ you can try an’ take me on.

The battle that ensues is unwinnable, as Spike is trying to make a point. He can dodge any attack Sora and the others can dish out. Depending on his location, he will try to push down trees or launch rocks at the trio. If he succeeds in hitting Sora, Spike mocks him, saying “Da object is ta NOT get hit, y’know!u201D After several command prompts, which creates a special attack where the trio spread out and attack the ground which creates three shockwaves that surround Spike and knock him down, Spike laughs and charges, using his tail to trip all three in one rapid twirl. While the trio is dizzy on the ground, Spike dashes behind a tree and pats the trunk and stares at Robbie.

Spike: Now, all I gotta do is push dis t’ing down an’ dey won’t be gettin’ up again.

Sora (wearily sits back up, rubbing his head): I think we get the picture. You win.

Spike (nods and helps Sora and the gang up): I gotta hand it to ya, squirt … you t’ree got a harder bunch o’ heads dan I t’ought. But ta win any fight against da baddest o’ da bad here, you gotta use what’s INSIDE dat noggin’, not just rely on a thick skull, comprende?

Donald (rubbing the back of his neck): Yeah, yeah … we understand.

Spike (to Sora): Richfield nevah gets outta dat trailer o’ his. Dat gives him de advantage, but ONLY if ya get in dere wit’ him, got it?

Robbie (nods): We got it.

Spike (slams his hand hard on Robbie’s back): Good! Now – just ta make sure I made a successful investment – all o’ you are gonna get another round wit’ da Scavengers. Dose guys are my family, so I gotta make sure dey get their exercise, right? Get past all o’ dem wit’ da knowledge I imparted onto yer impressionable noggin’s, an’ you just might make it ta gettin’ back at Richfield.

To be continued ….

[The Count]

Rully interested to see how this continues as the gang goes through the Scavenger gauntlet.

[RedPiggy]

This is really frustrating ... getting emails for nearly every subscription except this one! AAARRRGGGHHH!

I don't know when I'm going to post the next part. I may only be able to do these on maybe 2 or 3 days out of the week.

[The Count]

Is okay... Post when you can. You is got only two hands. Life is life.
:rolleyes: Is also a good cereal okay.

Anyway, you know we luvs you Kells. Again, post when possible.

[RedPiggy]

Woohoo! An email alert -- that was on time! Whatever magic you worked, thanks!

[The Count]

*Mindcasting images onto the crystal ball trying to find... Magic you say? Hmm, wasn't aware of it. Must've been one of those ordinary miracles Quasi notices. *Disappears back into nothingness leaving a smile for Kelly. *OOC: Sorry, but something just happened that's made me hopping mad. :grouchy: *Sigh, please post more...

[RedPiggy]

Robbie can now join the party. His sole weapon is an electric guitar that deals elemental damage depending on which special attack is used. Otherwise, he swings his tail. Extremely melodramatic music plays as the battle begins. Andre staggers into view.

Sora (gasps): I thought we defeated that guy!

Andre: Oh PLEASE. I fell in the swamp! I floated downriver, hit my head, got amnesia, got adopted by a family of beavers, remembered who I was, ate my new parents, and walked back.

Everyone just gawks at him.

Andre (shrugs): What? It never happened to you?

Robbie (runs up to Andre): We don’t have to do this! There is no reason to resort to violence! How about we all just go back home and settle this over a few drinks as we catch some wrestling on TV?

Andre (raises an eyebrow): You know your problem, Sinclair? You’re a pathetic little wussy.

Robbie (protests): I just prefer using my brains, not relying on stupid muscle.

Spike can be seen rolling his eyes in the background.

Andre (chuckles): The only thing brains are good for is serving as an appetizer to something a bit meatier, Sinclair.

Robbie (pumps his fists): Oh, yeah? I’ll take ALL the Scavengers on – where are they?

Andre (shrugs): They went on a date. *strokes his chin, grinning* Some little sea-green female by the name of Caroline Foxworth.

Robbie (jaw drops): WHAT?

Andre (laughs): You t’ink she loves a spindly little geek like you? There’s more alpha maleness in our little pinkie fingers than there is in your entire body! *laughs again*

Robbie: THAT’S IT! *takes several swings, but Andre just chuckles*

The battle begins. While Andre can be hit as he’s very slow, his defense is rather high, so he can take quite a pounding. If the battle lasts longer than a couple of minutes, and most likely it will unless you stumble on the solution, a quick cutscene begins.

Sora (stumbles back toward a tree): This guy just doesn’t go down ….

Spike (slaps a hand on Sora’s shoulder, hissing): A guy that parties that hard’ll crumble wit’ loud noises.

The battle will continue. Robbie should set up a special attack. The sound from his guitar will stun Andre. The other characters can then let him have it. A command prompt may also appear where Sora and two others gang up and smack down a large tree, smacking Andre in the head. This scenario will actually be the final blow that allows defeat.

To be continued ….

[The Count]

Mmm, brain food. Oh sorry. :hungry:
Nicely done. Wonder if If We Were Kings will play during Robbie's battle phase with that guitar. Then again, he could use it to further his rep as an ancient version of El Kabong. Look forward to what's next. :excited:

[RedPiggy]

As soon as the player regains control, Spike is added to the Sinclair kitchen, sitting at a table beside a mountain of food, and can be talked to. His responses will be in text boxes.

Spike: Richfield is the biggest authority around. I have a problem with authority. Personally, Caroline’s not my type. Scooter needs a backbone.

Back in the forest, Sora and the rest enter the Wesayso area. It is smaller than the forest area and circular. On the left is a bunch of fallen trees. On the right is a large trailer, maybe 15-20 feet high. We begin with a cutscene with ominous music.

Roy Hess and Earl are hiding just behind the trailer.

Roy (whispers): Do you t’ink it’s safe to go home?

Earl (shrugs, whispers): If I stay, Mr. Richfield will crush my skull. If I go home, Fran’ll take my tail.

Roy: Well, which one is your brain in? Dat’s the body part you should probably protect.

Earl (nods): Yeah, good point. If I lost my brain I wouldn’t know how to go get a new one.

Roy: Yeah, dat’s true.

Earl (scratches his head): So, what’re we waiting on, anyway? The day’s just kinda been dragging on.

Roy: Uh, I t’ink we’re waitin’ for the big boss fight. We need ta give da player time ta save da game so dey don’t lose all their progress.

Earl: But they can’t – after this cutscene, they have to face off against Mr. Richfield.

Roy (nods): Yeh – glad it’s not us.

Earl (nods): Me too – I would make a terrible playable character.

Roy: Well, dere was dat time you were de superhero Cap’n Impressive.

Earl (stares at Roy, confused): Don’t be stupid – that’s far too obscure for some casual geek. *pause* They’re bad at senseless trivia.

Meanwhile, within the trailer …

Richfield (rustling through piles of paperwork, singing): Ninety-nine piles of trees on the ground, ninety-nine piles of trees! Push some more down, did they make a sound? Soon no more piles of trees on the ground! Heheheh!

Robbie (peeks his head in the door to the trailer timidly): Uh, Mr. Richfield? Have you seen my father anywhere?

Richfield (stops and raises an eyebrow): Young Sinclair – you got a lot of guts coming in here, demanding your father’s whereabouts. *pounds desk* I LIKE IT!

Robbie (somewhat more sure of himself): You … you do?

Richfield (beams): Of COURSE! The more guts you have, the more I get to eat! *laughs like a maniac*

Earl (offscreen): ROBBIE! GET YOUR TEENAGE TAIL OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!

Robbie (ducks out of the trailer)

Richfield (furious): HOW DARE YOU LEAVE THIS TRAILER AND LEAVE ME WITHOUT A MEAL, SINCLAIR! I OUGHTA KILL YOU!

Robbie (dashes to Earl and Roy, who are now standing next to Sora and the gang): Dad! Where were you?

Earl (grabs Robbie and pulls him closer): ARE YOU INSANE? RICHFIELD’S GONNA EAT US BOTH NOW! *lets him go, sounding defeated* Let’s go, son. I’d much rather listen to your mother yell at me than Mr. Richfield.

Robbie (glancing back at the trailer): No, Dad. I can’t run away this time. Someone has to stop him from destroying the entire supercontinent.

Richfield (from within the trailer): You ungrateful little slobs! Consider this your pink slips!

The battle against Mr. Richfield begins. Richfield will order grunts to attack. They are the various general dinosaur stock creatures, dressed in Wesayso shirts. Defeating them isn’t technically necessary, but it’ll help clear the way for attacking Richfield. Each corner of the trailer has a sensitive place that can be attacked. The goal is to destroy the trailer. After a certain amount of damage accrues on the corner being attacked, a command prompt appears and the trailer gets knocked over.

Richfield (after the trailer’s been knocked over, shaking the trailer): JUST WAIT ‘TIL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU! I’LL TEAR YOUR HEAD OFF AND BOWL WITH IT!

He finally succeeds in righting the trailer. He then comes out and charges toward the heroes. Sora and the rest of the party must survive for at least one and a half minutes before Richfield complains that this fight is a waste of money and he re-enters the trailer, where the strategy can be repeated. After all the corners are destroyed, Richfield is buried in his trailer as it crumbles. Robbie gets closer to investigate, but Richfield shoots up, his hand grabbing Robbie’s throat. He snarls and growls, his normally yellow eyes glowing dark red, his gray skin even darker.

Richfield (in a low, dark voice): I’m going to kill you, Sinclair.

Suddenly, a large tree cracks and falls on Richfield, knocking him down. Robbie falls backward and Sora and the others help him up. The camera pans over to reveal Earl Sinclair standing behind a tree stump.

Robbie (shocked): Dad?

Earl (slaps the dust off his hands): NOW can we go home? I’m pretty sure this terminates my job at Wesayso. *walks toward Robbie* Son, I haven’t exactly always been the bravest male ever to walk the planet. After all, I’m terrified of your mother. *grins*

Robbie (smirks): No, Dad – you knew what she was like and you STILL married her anyway. *hugs Earl* You’re the bravest guy I know.

Earl (smiles): Thanks, son. *pats Robbie on the back* Let’s get back home to your mother. I’m starved.

Sora (watches them disappear through the forest with Roy): Well, I’m glad we could help.

Donald: Let’s get back to the Gummi Ship. I want my feathers back.

The mammoth surprise rises out from behind Sora into the air. A beam of light shoots up and forms a keyhole. Sora readies his keyblade and locks the first keyhole to this world. As they teleport away, a close-up of a groaning Richfield occurs.

End of Pre-climax story …

After the story ends, Roy joins Earl in the Sinclair living room, watching TV, and can be talked to. Their responses will be in text boxes.

Earl: Fran only gets mad at me because she expects great things. I guess I’ll have more free time to watch wrestling now. How am I gonna pay the bills?

Roy: Pally-boy and I have known each other for a long time. Do you think a carnivore and an herbivore can be in love? Earl’s kids call me “Uncle Roy” – I like being part of their family.

Fran (reading a magazine in the kitchen): Just because I’m a female doesn’t mean I have to slave away in the kitchen all day. Earl was so brave to stand up to Mr. Richfield to save Robbie.

Spike (standing next to the fridge): Scooter actually had it in him! At least now all o’ us can breathe easier. You guys wanna join the Scavengers?

Baby: I’m the baby – gotta love me! Daddy’s my hero! Will he get his own reality show?

[The Count]

Awesome... Hope Robbie has more of a part in the battling with his Shock Guitar when Zora returns on his second swing-thru in Pangaea.

BTW: Will this continue with another world? Will it go to the newly purchased lands of Marvel?
Anyway, post more when possible. :D

[RedPiggy]

In the game Kingdom Hearts, members of a particular world don't usually show up in anyone else's. For example, you're not going to find Captain Jack Sparrow in the Beast's castle. This story is only dealing with one particular world, so any other world's plot or Sora's plot or Kingdom Heart's plot won't really be dealt with much. If you recall Scavenging Pangaea, which became Act 3 of Comeback King, you might kind of see where the second half of the story is heading, though Mizumi has no part in it, of course. :)

[The Count]

Oh okay. Thought you'd take us on Zora's journey once finished with Pangaea First Time to then go to other Muppet worlds or worlds you wanted to bring into this. But is okay... Understand the plan now. Hope more comes soonish. :coy:

[RedPiggy]

Well, the only reason I don't want to touch Sora-with-an-"S" is that I don't know the plot to the next games, LOL.

[The Count]

Fair enough. eek:

[JEANYLASER]

that's awesome! I can't wait to read more!:cool:

[RedPiggy]

Thanks! Sadly, I've got a lot of stuff due this semester ... not the least of which is all the paperwork for graduation and licensure. I'll try to work on this ... but it may be close to November before I can.

[RedPiggy]

Post-climax story, but before Sora returns to that world ...

Richfield, with dark red eyes and darker skin (because he's become a heartless, even though that's kind of redundant), looks around at his abandoned work site. The music is dark and foreboding, though there are lighter moments with near-Disney-like happy music when Richfield sees birds and other creatures happily enjoying themselves since the trees are no longer being pushed down. Soon the scene changes to a posh board room with dark mahogany walls and pictures of various heads of Wesayso. He sits across a table from Mr. Ashland, who is about the size of Howard Handupme.

Richfield (his voice low, slow, and dark): How do you feel about my proposal, sir?

Ashland (looking at some paperwork): Frankly, Richfield, I fail to see the profitability.

Richfield: Because of the Sinclairs, sir, Wesayso profits are down 40%! Everyone's too interested in hugging some trees and picnicking in flowery fields than buying Wesayso products!

Ashland (stares up at Richfield): But, Richfield, without customers, we won't have any profits at all!

Suddenly a tall man with long white hair and piercing eyes appears in a black cloak.

Ashland (barking): Who are you?

Man (smiling, his voice dark and smooth): I am Xenahort. I have come to express my interest in expanding opportunities with your corporation. There are many worlds out there with ... shall we say ... INCONVENIENT populations. Natural resources can't be exploited as much as I would prefer. I believe Wesayso is the perfect business organization to provide assistance in my rather PROFITABLE endeavor.

Richfield (nods)

Ashland (stroking his chin): Hmmm ... what did you have in mind?

Xenahort (continues to smile): A trial. A proof of concept, if you will. Do as Richfield says and send this world to darkness. While you risk losing domestic sales, I assure you that there is a universal market just ready for the taking. *pauses* Money is no object, I assure you. I would be VERY appreciative.

Ashland (slaps his hand on the table): Sold! However, I didn't get to be the CEO of Wesayso by being stupid. I wanna see proof of your appreciation before I sign off on this rather risky endeavor.

Xenahort (waves his arms, a pile of gold and jewels appearing magically before them on the table): Do you find this acceptable?

Ashfield (nods, awestruck): Xenahort, I see Wesayso having a glorious future ahead of us.

All three laugh maliciously as the scene fades with the sounds of dozens of explosions audible.

Post-Climax Story, When Sora and the Gang Return

Sora, Donald, and Goofy appear in the Sinclair kitchen in a cutscene. The lights are off and vapor can be seen coming from their mouths.

Donald (shivers): BRRRRRRRRR! Someone turn on the heater!

Goofy (looks around): Gawrsh, I wonder what happened.

Sora (shruggs): Maybe they forgot to pay their utility bill. Let’s go see where everyone is.

They enter the living room. The Sinclairs and Roy Hess are sitting in the living room, huddled in front of the television. They are all wearing coats and mittens. They are all downcast. A pile of snow can be seen in the background outside the back door.

Earl (sadly): I said I was sorry.

Roy (nods): Don’t worry, pally boy. We were bound to slowly freeze ta death in the darkest, chilliest cold some day. You just cut straight to da chase.

Fran (shakes her head, frustrated): Earl, stop blaming yourself! RICHFIELD destroyed Pangaea, not you.

Ethyl (rolls her eyes and sighs)

Sora (turns on the light switch on the wall near the kitchen): What’s going on?

Fran (glares at Earl, curtly): The lights WORK?

Earl (laughs nervously, avoiding her gaze): I was trying to set the mood!

Fran (sighs and gets up, to Sora): We’re very sorry, but our world’s been utterly destroyed.

Charlene: Yeah, great job, Dad. Was Robbie really worth getting the mall closed?

Robbie (to Charlene): HEY!

Charlene (crosses her arms in a huff): Don’t yell at ME! It’s not MY fault your room would be better off being a walk-in closet for ME!

Robbie (sighs disgustedly)

Fran: That’s enough, you two.

Charlene: Yeah! *sticks out tongue*

Robbie: Bite me, Charlene.

Charlene: Oooh, you’re not a carnivore, you’re a cannibal!

Fran: If both of you don’t be quiet RIGHT NOW, I’ll throw all of your bedroom furniture out in the snow!

Robbie and Charlene (groan pitifully)

Sora, Donald, and Goofy (look at each other)

Baby (as the music stops): I’m cold! Turn the heater on!

Earl (sighs): It’s not that easy, son. It’ll never get any warmer.

Baby (unsure): Just move.

Earl (sighs sadly): There’s no place to move to.

Sora (uncomfortable): Are you sure? I mean, a supercontinent is kinda big, isn’t it?

Charlene (waves dismissively): Don’t bother, kid. I’ve been all over this place shopping for the best deals. Everything’s under at least ten feet of snow.

Earl (nods): Yeah, she’s right. There’s no mystical valley just waiting for dinosaurs to find. Lost Worlds only happen in the movies, kid.

Robbie (stands up): No! *pounds fist in palm* I’m not going to let this beat us! Dinosaurs are the top of the food chain for a reason! Our ancestors millions of years ago survived trying conditions! What’s stopping us from taking our rightful place in destiny?

Charlene: Not enough accessories.

Roy: Cowardice and low self-esteem.

Earl: A conflicting sense of apathy and acceptance.

Robbie (turns to Sora): Sora? Donald? Goofy? Let’s go find a safe place to live so we can show future generations what dinosaurs are made of!

Charlene: Pffbt. What’s the point?

Robbie (sits next to Charlene): Are you saying you WOULDN’T try to find new merchandise opportunities?

Charlene (pauses): Merchandise opportunities?

Robbie (nods excitedly, knowing he’s hooked her): Think about it: acres and acres of pristine land just waiting.

Charlene (looks up dreamily): Ooh! New strip malls!

Robbie (grins): Yeah … and department stores! All of them never ever having had the pleasure of charging you hundreds of dollars with Dad’s credit card.

Earl: Hey ….

Charlene (stands up): As the Book of Dinosaur is my witness … I shall never shop empty-handed again!

Robbie (stands, pumping his fist): Yes!

Fran (worried): Robbie, are you sure this is safe?

Charlene (scoffs): MOM … if females stayed at home during sales, how would we ever find good deals?

Fran (sighs): Just … be safe. Stay away from predators.

Earl (nods, standing): Yeah, we’re all counting on you. After all, if you get eaten, we’ve still got Baby here to carry on our name.

Fran (angrily): EARL!

Earl (smirks seductively): Of course, if one’s not enough for you … I suppose we could always make MORE, heheheheh.

Fran (curtly): Robbie? Charlene? I ORDER you not to get eaten.

Robbie (smiles, pats Fran on back): Don’t worry, Mom. We’ll be okay. I’ll travel toward the swamp.

Charlene: I’ll start with the mall.

Everyone looks at Charlene.

Sora (laughs nervously, scratching the back of his neck): Uh, we’re happy to help.

The cutscene ends. Robbie can join the party. Charlene walks off out the door to screen left. Earl, Roy, and Fran sit down and watch TV. Ethyl sits in her wheelchair next to Baby Sinclair in his high chair near the fireplace. These characters will remain here for the remainder of gameplay during this scenario. Their dialogue will be in text boxes.

Earl: It’s my fault. If I hadn’t retaliated against Richfield, he wouldn’t have destroyed every living thing.

Roy: If all da trees die, does dat mean herbivores will starve? Will extinction affect my Saturday morning cartoons?

Fran: Poor Earl will never forgive himself. Please take care of Robbie, Sora.

Ethyl: I always knew Fran’s husband would mess up, just not how bad. I don’t know how such an idiot produced such a great kid here.

Baby: This is a sad story! Can I rewrite the ending?

The Wesayso area will now be available. A save point will be in Richfield’s rebuilt trailer, but he won’t be there. A Post-It on his TV on his desk will display the message “Where’s Wendy?” when accessed. A map treasure chest for this area and the forest is near the desk as well. Outside the trailer, Gus, a large brown dinosaur that resembles Andre but with a Wesayso shirt, eats lunch on a fallen tree. His dialogue is in text boxes.

Gus: No Richfield means a long lunch hour for me, heheheh. I bet he started looking for his daughter at the SWAMP.

The forest is now teaming with Heartless, including occasionally a special heartless dinosaur enemy, with a swirling black aura and glowing green eyes, shaped like Sid Turtlepuss, a short brown dinosaur with a turtle-like face. Defeating those will result in rare items. If the top of the map is north, then the Wesayso area is north of the Forest, which is north of the Sinclair House, which is west of the Swamp.

When Sora and the gang reach the Swamp, another cutscene starts. Spike is on the ground near the Tavern, staring at Richfield, who is dragging a screaming Wendy, who is a brown female dinosaur dressed in a red blouse and black vest.

Wendy: Dad? Let me go!

Richfield (in monotone): You’re not running away.

Wendy: I’m not a little girl, anymore, Dad! You can’t control me!

Richfield (in monotone): You’re not running away.

Wendy: Daddy! Please! Somebody, please help me!

Richfield takes Wendy northeast of the Swamp and disappears.

Spike: Watch out! Dere’s a swamp monster ‘round here! Stupid jerk woke him up!

A swamp monster rises out of the swamp. He is about five times as big as Sora. He is vulnerable to magic while he stands upright and can’t be attacked physically unless he bends over trying to eat Sora and the gang. The tell will be him waving his arms and roaring. He will then bend over to eat Sora. A command prompt will activate: When Food Goes Bad. Activating this command prompt will have Sora whack him in the jaws with the keyblade and then he will hop up on the head of the swamp monster. The swamp monster will be dazed momentarily and Sora can attack the horns. After the swamp monster is defeated, he will groan and fall into the swamp. Of course, if you don’t hit the command prompt soon enough, you’ll get eaten and have to continue the game. After the battle, Robbie and Sora try to help Spike up, but he shakes his head.

Robbie: Spike, get up!

Spike (frustrated): Dere are t’ings I gotta keep an eye on out here, Scooter.

Sora (puts an arm around Robbie’s back, to Spike): We’ll be back as soon as we save that girl.

Spike (chuckles): Yeah. You do dat. *grits teeth* I couldn’t even take on dat crazy sociopath.

Robbie (smirks): You just don’t know how to fight effectively.

Spike (chuckles): You’re lucky I’m out of it, Sinclair….

Sora: C’mon guys, let’s go.

To Be Continued ….

[The Count]

*Is enthralled. Just makes me sigh at my own incertainties. Thanks for this Kelly-girl.

[RedPiggy]

I've been trying to sneak a little of Scavenging Pangaea in here, and I just realized that Xenahort is basically the Mizumi of this story, LOL. I'm almost done. I like this the more I write it. This should totally be a world in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. This would so totally work.

[RedPiggy]

After this battle, the Swamp becomes playable, with Nobodies of various types, which are typically white or cream-colored. Ten waves of enemies will spring from the swamp in the background, but only two or three will appear in each wave. It is not necessary to defeat all the waves to continue northeast into the End of the World area. The Swamp has traces of ash and snow, but not nearly as much as other areas of the world. When Sora enters the End of the World, a cut scene (of course) will appear.

Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Robbie work their way through a bunch of trees with dying leaves as Wendy can be heard screaming and Richfield growling. The camera suddenly pans over to Richfield throwing his daughter in a cage. The End of the World is a rather large area, at least as big as the Pridelands in Kingdom Hearts 2. There are only traces of destruction, and the sun can be seen setting deep in the northern background. It will be patterned after the tropical jungle look of The Discovery, the episode where Earl Sinclair and Roy Hess discover the lush sanctuary of the cavemen. On the northern border is a large cliff. Richfield silently drags the cage over to it.

Richfield (in montone, to Wendy): You ain’t 72 yet, my little love muffin of honey-goodness, but I won’t be robbed of Hurling Day.

Wendy (pleading): Daddy … please don’t do this! I’m your daughter! The Code of the Wilderness says you have to protect your offspring!

Richfield (silently continues to drag Wendy’s cage toward the cliff.

Robbie plays a loud riff on his guitar, which breaks Richfield’s focus.

Richfield (glares at Robbie, his eyes glowing brightly): You …. *leaves the cage and steps toward Sora’s group* I won’t leave my leftovers this time.

The cutscene ends. Each time Richfield charges at Sora and the gang, he can be snapped out of it if he’s dodged and he runs into some trees, stunning him. That sets up a command prompt where Robbie plays a shrill note, immobilizing Richfield and letting Goofy smack him with his shield, Donald blasts him with magic, and Sora comes up from the side from among trees (a reference to Jurassic Park and the velociraptors, who were said to attack from the sides) and whacks Richfield square in the jaw with his keyblade, which then hurls Richfield back several yards. Should this happen, Richfield will wobble back up and begin his walk back to Wendy, who pleads with Robbie to save her. Sora and the gang can attack him from the rear. After ten or so hits, or a couple of special attacks from Robbie, Richfield will charge again where the command prompt can be repeated. The method of defeat will be to set up a charge where Richfield will end up in a patch of trees near the cliff. The command prompt would then lead to Richfield going over the cliff, though only after his health is at twenty-five percent. Anything higher than that and Richfield will regain his balance before going over the cliff. Wendy will claim her father is too strong for you. After Richfield falls over the cliff, naturally, there will be the final cutscene.

Robbie (rushes over to Wendy’s cage and breaks her out of it with his tail, helping her out): Wendy! Are you okay?

Wendy (catches her breath): Aside from having my father try to kill me, *shrugs* yeah, I’m just peachy. *wraps her arms around Robbie* Hold me ….

Robbie: O_O Uh ….

Spike (rubs his arm, grinning): Heyyyy! Sinclair! Didn’t know you had it in ya! *throws Robbie a black leather jacket* You killed da bad guy. Now take what’s comin’ to ya wit’ dignity.

Robbie (stares at the jacket, then at Wendy, smirking, letting the jacket drop): No, thanks, Spike. I don’t need it anymore.

Spike: O_O

Sora (looks happily at his friends and they walk away as Robbie and Wendy kiss in front of the sunset with romantic music playing)

End of Pangaea Story

Epilogue …

The ending credits of each Kingdom Hearts game also includes nonverbal epilogues on one side of the screen while the credits scroll up on the other, while the ending theme plays.

Robbie, Wendy, and Spike force their way through tropical plants and spy a gigantic sunlit valley beneath them. They start to head happily down the hill leading into the valley, beckoning the Sinclairs and Hess to follow. The last shot is a close-up of Baby Sinclair, holding up a sign Wile E. Coyote style: “Was this ending better for you?u201D

Fade out….
