. Just wanted to get you guys opinion. It is a bit confusing because the limit was 5000 characters but the original story was more like 30, 000 so a lot was cut out. I will probably rewrite this MUCH better, with everything that was meant to be in it.Please go ruthlessly crazy with your critiques, that would be very much appreciated.

What is legacy? Is it possible to be possessed by that which you leave behind?
“SORA!”
Tha harsh scream of Donald’s voice made Sora fly out of the tree. The world seemed to move in slow motion as his face connected with sand. Hard.
“Ugh...” he sighed closing his eyes in pain.
“Wah, Sora, this zis is no time to to be sleeping,” Donald yelped whacking his staff into Sora’s back.
“What’s up, Donald,” Sora said sitting up and shaking the sand from his spiky brown mane.
“What’s up?!” Donald exclaimed in shock as if it was obvious. “King Mickey has urgent news.”
“Mickey’s here!” Sora jumped up forgetting he had just fallen out a tree and winced in pain.
Sora followed Donald through the winding trees of Sherwood Forest. The trees seemed to whisper as they walked pass as if they knew of the danger that was coming.
Donald finally stopped as a figure appeared in the distance, as they got closer they realised it was a fox dressed in a green tunic. Mickey and Goofy were there and they seemed to be in deep conversation with the strange character.
“Mickey!” Sora said running up to join them.
“Hey, Sora,” Mickey’s huge ears twitched as he made a huge smile.
“What’s this?” Donald said jabbing his staff into the fox’s green tunic.
“Robin Hood of Nottingham, dear sir,” the fox gave a convoluted bow, resenting Donald’s poke.
“Introductions will have to wait I’m afraid,” Mickey said. “We have to leave immediately.”
“Leave?” Sora said. “We can’t. There’s been reports of strange creatures here. Must be heartless.”
“I’m afraid we have no choice,” and with that Mickey grabbed Sora’s arm.
“HEY!” Sora exclaimed but the ground gave way and he felt himself falling...
“Sora, you ok?” Goofy’s voice seemed to be miles away.
“I... feel... weak...” Sora blinked open his eyes but all he saw was darkness.
“I’m afraid we can’t wait for him to come around,” Mickey said hours later in Hollow Bastion.
“But, your majesty,” Goofy started.
“The world is depending on us Goofy,” Mickey said holding out his hand. “There are reports of a heartless possessing a keyblade and he has already captured Belle, Cinderella, Elizabeth Swann, Esmeralda and in each case their friends start to forget them and fall unconscious just like Sora. We have to find this heartless before it...”
“Just like Sora!” Donald interrupted.
“You mean this heartless has Kairi! Oh no!” Goofy said shaking his head.
“How can a heartless have a keyblade, wah!” Donald yelped poking his staff into an unconscious Sora. “Wake up, Sora!”
“This strange heartless has stolen them from their worlds,” Mickey said, his keyblade forming elegantly in the palm of his outstretched hand. “To save Aladdin, Will and the others... and Sora we have to find their friends.”
“Why have you brought us here, your majesty,” Donald looked out among the huge ships docked at Port Royal. The dusky night air brought with it a chill and a reminder that Sora was not with them.
“Elizabeth Swann was one of the first to be taken,” Mickey said somersaulting onto the deck of the Black Pearl.
Donald and Goofy followed him on board with less impressive feats. The old boat creaked loudly as they approached the helm where an unkempt man with long dark locks stood muttering to himself.
“... yo ho ho and a bottle of rum... really bad eggs... ”
“Yikes! Jack Sparrow, we’re sure glad to—“
“It’s Captain,” the man said swirling round in anger. “Captain Jack Sparrow, savvy?”
“Nice to see you again, Captain,” Goofy said cheerily.
“Sorry? Who are you, mate?”
“Goofy! Don’t ‘cha remember me? This is Donald and King Mickey.” Goofy said losing none of his cheer.
“We’re here to ask you what happened to Elizabeth Swann?” Mickey said.
“Elizabeth... yeah I remember her... I think. There she was tottering on the deck.” Jack started prancing about. “Then all of a sudden this black shadow ‘bout as tall as my waist carrying this weird looking sword, snatches her off her mutton and takes her through some sort of ghostly portal thing. Then Will goes all faint and starts acting like a goldfish riding a unicycle.”
Donald, Goofy and Mickey stared at Jack with blank faces.
“Well maybe not a goldfish riding a unicycle but maybe a goldfish that used to ride a unicycle but can’t ride it anymore due to it being unconscious, savvy?”
“Was the blade like this?” Mickey said cutting through Jack’s babble and in a burst of light his own keyblade shimmered in his hand ready for action.
“That’s the one!” Jack said clapping. “Bravo mate, and nice timing too seeing as we’ve got company.”
“Wah?” Donald said .
Donald, Goofy and Mickey spun around to see a horde of fearsome creatures right behind them standing as silently as ghosts. The most horrifying thing about them was that they seemed to be made from elements of the sea. They had oars sticking through their flesh and seaweed for skin. Their evil grins revealed dark opals for teeth. The most fearsome of all had a face of tentacles and a peg leg that’s thud seemed to shake the world as it hit the wooden ship floor. The creature crouched down to Mickey’s level and leaned right into his face. Mickey could smell its horrible breath as it spoke.
“Do you fear death, King Mickey?” It whispered menacingly.
“Not when I know I’ll die protecting friends,” Mickey said gearing himself for a fight, the keyblade shimmered with anticipation.
“How do you know us?” Donald said, daring to speak.
“A wee weird woman clad in black with a pale green face said she knew of two more souls to serve an eternity on my ship. And when she told me they were friends of...” the tentacled man, Davy Jones paused. “Jack Sparrow, I had to take up the opportunity.”
“Maleficent!” Donald and Goofy said simultaneously.
The dreadful sea creatures lurched forward suddenly, grabbing out at Donald and Goofy. With a jump Mickey smashed down his keyblade into them. But more still came. Donald found himself surrounded by four of them, one had a lobster for an ear.
“Take that!” he screamed firing magic into them blasting them back.
“Waah!” Goofy yelled as one of the sea creatures knocked him into the helm.
Donald threw a potion at Goofy healing him instantly before looking around for King Mickey who was nowhere to be seen.
“Your majesty!” Donald yelled before sending a fire spell into one of the creatures who burst into flames and ran madly off of the ship.
Jack sparrow unsheathed his sword and ran into the fight slashing his sword and clanging metal against metal. When most of the creatures were defeated Davy Jones gritted his teeth and signalled to his crewman.
“I will be back and your souls will be mine. And not only will I have your souls but the wench also promised me the souls of the ones locked up in the Forgotten Fortress.” And with a horrible laugh Davy Jones disappeared into the darkness along with his remaining crew.
“Not very friendly, is he?” Jack muttered. “And what’s all that Forgotten Fortress stuff?”
“That must be where the heartless with the keyblade has taken Elizabeth, Belle and the others,” Goofy said.
Before Donald could comment a figure appeared on the deck clad in black. Fearing Davy Jones had returned Jack raised his sword but the figure merely dropped two pieces of paper on the floor and disappeared into the shadows. Donald scooped them up.
“Who was that?” Donald yelped.
“I have no idea, Donald” Goofy said staring down at the two pieces of paper in Donald’s hand.
One only had the words, ‘Why two?’ written on it while the other had the words Forgotten Fortress and underneath it were weird symbols.
“What’s it mean?” Donald said peering at the papers.
“It seems like that mysterious person is trying to help us,” Goofy said.
“But the King is gone,wah why does he always do that?” Donald said staring out to sea. “We have to find him.”
“And Forbidden Fortress to save our friends,” Goofy reminded him.
And with a paper with symbols and another with the mysterious words ‘Why Two?’ Goofy and Donald set off in search of their king and the Forbidden Fortress, thoughts of Sora unconscious far away heavy on their minds.
