KH3D Burning Heart Country of the Musketeers

Sora found himself in a big yard and in the middle of it he saw a familiar figure falling down. He rushed over to him and slashed through it.

"King Mickey, are you okay?" asked Sora while the mouse stands up in his Musketeer clothes and asked, "Huh? Have we met before?"

"What?" asked Sora then he realized, "Wait, is this like what happened with Jiminy and Tron? But… I'm not in Disney Castle and that world isn't one of the ones that are asleep. I don't get it."

"You okay? What's wrong?" asked Mickey.

"Oh, um… I was wondering… where I was? And did you see my friend Fugeo? He looks like a red Dream Eater with a red body, blue belly and blue eyes."

"Gosh! I don't think I saw your friend and where you get that key?" asked the mouse.

Sora replied, "This? It's a Keyb-" however Mickey interrupted him. "Shh!"

He came closer and whispered, "I know. You came from another world, right?"

"Huh? Uh, yeah." Replied Sora.

"My name's Mickey," told the Mouse. "I'm workin' on a problem. That's why I'm in this world bein' a Musketeer."

"Hmm… So, am I in a world the king visited that I don't know about – a world that's trapped in sleep somewhere? 'Cause I guess…" Mumbled Sora while Mickey stated, "You seem confused."

Suddenly several Nightmares appeared around them. Sora called his Keyblade and told to Mickey, "I'm Sora. Let me handle 'em." And began to fight them.

Sora fought them with ease but Mickey jumped in and began to fight them as well. However for each they destroyed, two more came. But luckily after a while no new ones appeared and they finished the last ones off.

"We make a team huh?" asked Sora and Mickey agrees to that but said, "Some Musketeer I turned out to be."

Suddenly they saw Goofy jumping around calling, "Where's the bad guys?"

Sora called, "Goofy!" while Mickey called, "Everything's under control, Goof."

The dog stopped and asked, "Really? You mean we clobbered 'em?"

Sora had his relaxed stance with his arms behind his back while hearing Donald, "Are they… gone?"

He and Mickey turned to the duck and called "Hey, Donald!" causing the duck to jump. "What? Who are you?"

"Gawrsh, do I know you from somewhere?" asked Goofy.

Sora sighs and looks down before answering, "No… Nice to meet you."

"Say fellas, this is Sora." Told Mickey. "And it doesn't matter when we met. Once we make a friend, we're friends for life."

"Hi, I'm Donald!" told Donald while Goofy replied, "And I'm Goofy."

"Friends for life." Agreed Sora and smiles.

Mickey added in, "Now, we've gotta go protect the princess! Donald, Goofy, follow me!"

"Hey wait! You're not gonna let me come along?" asked Sora.

The three stopped at that and turned around while Mickey explained, "But you're not a Musketeer. And this mission is frought with danger."

"All the more reasons I should help." Objected Sora. "When the going gets tough, the tough call their friends. "

"Hmm…" began Mickey "Well , all right. Thank you!"

"Great! Should we do the thing?" asked Goofy and Sora asked, "The 'thing'?"

Then Goofy whispered something into his ear and Sora nods.

Mickey began, "All for one…" and everybody adds while crossing their weapons, "And one for all!"

"What are you doing?" asked a voice. They turned and Sora beamed, "Fugeo! Great to see you are alright!"

"Thanks Sora! My wings feel a bit sore from the act I had earlier and flying around to find you isn't helping much!" replied the dragon.

"A friend of yours?" asked Mickey and Sora nods. "That's right! We are together in this adventure and he is a friend you can depend on!"

"Gowsh! Welcome aboard!" told Mickey and Fugeo nods. "Thanks! And you are?"

"These are Mickey, Donald and Goofy!" told Sora, pointing to each of them. "And we are on the way to bodyguard a princess!"

"A princess?" asked Fugeo. "Neat! I am in!"

"Don't kidnap her!" joked Sora and they head to the carriage. They moved in front of the castle and Fugeo sat on the top of the carriage and looks around while Sora, Mickey, Goofy and Donald are around the princess on the way to the vehicle.

Sora, Mickey and Donald sat on the back of the carriage while Goofy was on the coachman's seat. Fugeo questioned it a little since he heard from Sora about his friends but didn't tell it out loud.

He yawns and curled in and began to take a nap. Before he doze off he wondered how he could sleep in a dream…

"Not very Musketeer like to sleep on duty!" told Mickey but Sora protested, "Fugeo did a huge workout before we reached your place! If you had seen what he had done since we met then you would agree that he deserves a nap once a while!"

Suddenly he turned around as he noticed something came in. He turned around and saw sort of blue T-Rex stomping towards them. "A dream eater!" he called.

Mickey and Donald called at the same time, "Bad guy!" while Donald panics, falling unconscious. "Bad guy?" asked Goofy and speeds the carriage up. Fugeo noticed the stronger wind and began to open his eyes slowly. But suddenly the Dream Eater jumped at it.

Sora managed to get a hold of the carriage by the shock and jumps on the top of the vehicle while the other's fled from it.

Fugeo groaned by the landing on the ground but gasped in pain as the Nightmare stomped on him. Sora got his Keyblade and called, "Gotta protect the carriage, no matter what!"

Fugeo groaned as he stands up after this T-Rex was stomping on him. Shaking his head he moved to gain speed for a quick take off into the air. However before he could begin to fly, he heard a voice. "Why do you bother to help him? Did he said ever thank you to you? Or did he even miss you as you were swallowed in this whale?"

"Not you again!" told Fugeo and turns around to the Nightmare that bothered him already a few times. "What is your goal?"

"You will know it in time! But until then you should realize what you should realize what is truly important!" told the nightmare. "And following around these two keybearers isn't important! It only distracts you on your true destiny!"

Before Fugeo could react, the nightmare was gone. Slowly he wondered about the sanity about this Nightmare and took off, flying to the direction where the footprints of the T-Rex like nightmare leads to.

He flew as fast as possible and as he reached it, he saw Sora had his hand full to defend the carriage with Queen Minnie from the Nightmare.

Folding his wings, he made a dive and passed them before turning around and slams his body into the nightmare. While the T-Rex fall on the back, Fugeo lands on all four and growls loudly, taking a battle stance. The T-Rex stands up and roared while jumping up, aiming at Fugeo. The dragon however flew up and slams his tail at the head. The T-Rex stumbled and Fugeo was sure Sora already did a good job in weaken it. However he decided to be still cautious.

The T-Rex and the dragon encircle each other, measuring the other. Then the nighmare shot a flame ball but Fugeo dodged it and shot his own fire ball. . They keep exchanging blows and as the T-Rex stormed at Fugeo he flew up and tackled it from behind, causing it to fall over a cliff they reached due to the fight. He jumped after it and looks at what happened until it impacted with the ground, being destroyed.

He unfolds his wings and flew up, looking for Sora again. Groaning Fugeo wondered if he should just wait for the boy but knowing the Keybearer it wouldn't be wise.

He reached a place where he spots the carriage and looked for Sora. However he spots a tower nearby by and flew over to it. In the top window he saw three hooded figures throwing barrels down the stairs. He noticed the window was open and sneaked in. He heard one of these three figures say, "Hehe! These guys won't reach up here without being hurt much!"

"By three guys we talk about a mouse, a dog, a duck and a boy in red?" asked Fugeo. Then one of them complained, "Of course you Dofus!"

However he gulped as he saw who had been asking. The other two turned around and gulped as well.

Sora, Donald, Goofy and Mickey are climbing up the stairs and wondered why the barrels stopped coming at them. Then they heard pained cries and fighting sounds. With that, they rushed up and blinked as they saw the scene in front of them.

The three bad guys are cornered at a while, holding their weapons at a Dream Eater that they recognized: Fugeo.

"Fugeo! You got rid of the Nightmare?" asked Sora. Fugeo only nods and began to move towards the three bad guys. Mickey however called, "Stop! I bet Goofy has a great plan!"

Goofy thought a bit and nods. "I got a good plan! Hold on!"

"Sure! Take your time!" told Mickey but suddenly Goofy grabbed the mouse and Donald, jumping down of the window. Before Sora and Fugeo could even wonder why he did that, they came back and knocked the three bad guys out of the other window.

After recovering from this ride Mickey rubbed his head. "Gwarsh! But what did you to these guys that before we came?"

"Only get down a set of frust," told Fugeo while they walked up to the top floor where they recovered Queen Minnie who believed that Mickey was her hero.

Neither Sora nor Fugeo said something different and the other two just didn't react to that for some reason. Then they made the signature move of the Musketeers while Fugeo held up his tail end for that, even thought he thinks this is embarrassing.

They returned to the castle and in the night Sora and Goofy took a patrol. Sora spots Fugeo and walked over to him. "What are you doing?"

"Oh! Hi Sora! I just going after an old habit of mine…" told Fugeo and faces the stars. "Since I lived with somebody who was important for me before meeting Daimond, I looked at the stars… it helps me to ease my mind."

"Really? Cool!" told Sora while Goofy adds in, "Gwarsh! You really seem to have a lot in your head! Sure that you are not an old man or something like that?"

Fugeo chuckles. "Perhaps I took this habit from the old man I was referring! Or better the old dragon. After all he lived thought an entire age before he had to choose his successor!"

"Wow! That is old!" cracked Goofy. Then suddenly he turned and walked off as he saw something.

"Hey Goofy! What's up?" asked Sora while Goofy just called, "hey, you! Not so fast!"

"Goofy, where are you doing?" asked Sora while Mickey came in. "What's the matter?"

"Goofy just run off" told Fugeo and Mickey replied, "Goofy's gone? But why would he leave his post?"

Then Donald runs by and cried, "HELP!"

"Not you too, Donald?" came from Mickey and Fugeo could tell something was off, even if he thinks of the duck like a chicken. Donald turned around and runs to the mouse calling, "What do we do? It's a disaster!"

"Calm down, Donald! Start from the beginning." Began Mickey and Donald told, "The captain's gonna kidnap Princess Minnie!"

"What? But he's the one who made us Musketeers," told Mickey and Fugeo sighs. "Sorry to tell you! But I have the feeling he did that in belief you would fail as such"

"He is right!" panics Donald but Mickey replied, "Trick or not, Musketeers don't ever run from danger!"

"Then it's time for me to get a new job!" replied Donald and runs off. Fugeo shook his head. "Why I am not surprised?"

Mickey looks in disbelief and called, "Donald wait! Together we going to stop Captain Pete!"

"Yeah. We're in this together!" agrees Sora while Mickey explains, "C'mon. We'll be right beside you, 'cause we're friends."

"But you have to stop to chicken out" told Fugeo. Donald shook his head. "I just can't do it. I'm sorry." With that the duck was gone. "Donald!" called Mickey, looking disappointed. "Donald…"

"He'll be back. I know it." Told Sora and Fugeo looked, wondering if Sora was talking about the same duck.

"Aw, thanks, Sora." Replied Mickey while Sora began, "So, this 'captain' guy's the culprit. I wonder what he's up to."

"Kidnapping a queen? Typical stunt for somebody who wants to take over a place," shrugged Fugeo.

"Huahahahaha!" laughed somebody and they spot a fat cat walking up. "Good guess but I'm up to plenty!"

"Pete?" asked Sora while calling his Keyblade and Pete asked, "Whozzat?" and began to laugh. "A stranger lookin' to be endangered… You, mangle these yardsticks!"

Several Nightmares appeared and Fugeo took off to handle with the eagle like ones. Mickey rushed up and jumps up to Pete.

"Captain Pete by the power vested in me as a Musketeer, I arrest you, mister!" causing Pete to laugh and he replied, "That's a good one. Well, how's about this? By the power invested in my fist, I clobber you!" and punched the mouse.

Sora got distracted and got a hit from one of the bunny nightmares from behind. Fugeo got distracted as he noticed that Sora and Mickey are out and the eagle nightmares managed to pin in to the ground. He struggles to break free, not able to use a Fire burst since it would risk hurting Sora.

As one of them hit his head with the beak everything got black. As he woke up he saw Donald and Goofy. Also he saw Sora who just woke up as well. "Donald… Goofy…"

He jumped up and asked, "Where's Mickey?"

"Best guess… Pete got him somewhere," groans Fugeo and Goofy nods. "Captain Pete and his guys took Mickey to Mont Saint-Michel. And that means he's in big trouble! Once the tide comes in, the dungeon'll fill up with water!"

"And so will Mickey." Adds Donald.

Fugeo looked into the sky and gasped. "That means this happens soon! We reach close the general time for a tide!"

Sora didn't ask how Fugeo might know this but replied, "Well, come on. We gotta go save him!"

"Oh... but how?" asked Donald and Sora wondered, "What are you saying? You and Goofy wouldn't have come back if you weren't ready to save him! We're friends – friends for life, remember?"

"Yeah!" replied Donald and Goofy adds, "best of friends to the very end!"

"Good. Let's go!" told Sora and Fugeo asked, "Where is this Mont Saint-Michel?"

"Why do you want to ask?" asked Goofy and Fugeo replied, "So I can fly there directly instead following you with the carriage."

"Makes sense!" told Sora and Donald explains with Goofy where the way was. Fugeo nods and flew into the described directions.

Fugeo reached the place and heads to the dungeon. Deeper, he noticed that nightmares were filling the deepest parts with water, so that even before the tide the critical places were going to be underwater. Ignoring the nightmares and their attacks, he took a deep breath and dives into the water. He swam his way through the dungeon and looked for Mickey. In the last cell he found the mouse, which was already floating in the water. He grabbed him and took him out of the water.

He checked if the mouse was still breathing and having a heartbeat. The heart was still beating but no breathing. He cursed now the fact that he has a beak instead of a snout. However he heard how Sora, Donald, and Goofy came rushing down.

Without giving them any time to ask questions, he ordered Sora to come over and help him. The boy listened and under Fugeo's instruction he lifts the mouse head while holding the mouth closed. He put his mouth to his nose and pressed air through it but without too much force to not damage any of the inner organs. He did that a few times before Mickey began to cough and spit the water in his lungs out. And he looked at the others. "Donald? Goofy? Fugeo? You too, Sora? You came back."

"Would have been a nasty thing if we just let you die!" countered Fugeo while Donald just said, "C'mon, men! We gotta save the princess!"

"Aw, fellas. We're not even real Musketeers." Complained Mickey and Sora shrugs. "Wrong. You are real Musketeers! And don't let anybody else tell you you're not. "

"It doesn't matter what you wear." Told Donald and Goofy adds, "Only what kind of heart it is that beats inside of ya!"

Fugeo finished, "Even if you have to deal with people who doesn't like you in your position!"

Sora had the feeling that Fugeo spoke this one out of the dragon's own experience. Mickey agreed with them. "You know what, you're right, pals. When the bunch of us stick together we can accomplish anything! Pete said he was headed for the opera house. And that's where we'll find Her Majesty!"

Walking forward with the others following behind, he told them, "C'mon Musketeers. We've got a princess to rescure."

They returned to the carriage and moved on the fastest way to the Opera House. Fugeo was on the top of the carriage since his body got sore again. He groans, "Man! By this sore, I should have taken a rest for a few days!"

"Do you want to sit this one out Fu?" asked Sora but Fugeo shook his head. "Nah! If I do, you will only end up in trouble again! Remember the last few times?"

"I am not that bad!" protested Sora and the entire group just laughed at that. As they reached the opera, they could clearly see the beagle boys with a chest with them. "Here you are!"

"Oi! Those nitwits!" said one of them and another replied, "The boss is gonna be mad."

"Hurry!" ordered the third one and they run in with the chest. But they could clearly hear a "Help!" from the inside of the chest.

"Princess!" called the group, Mickey encouraged them, "C'mon. It's time to put our Musketeering to the test!"

Then they rushed in. They were only slowed down by the Nightmares that appeared on the way but they weren't a real challenge to the group. Then they reach the stage of the theater. Pete stands on top of a model ship with cannons and Mickey declared, "The jig is up, Pete!"

"There is no escape!" told Donald and Goofy said, "Yeah, it's five against one now!"

Pete laughed and glanced sideways into the air. Fugeo looked up to see what is going on. A ramp lowered and a large case was falling to them. Fugeo took off instantly and made a forward motion to smash it. "Look out!"

However it began to glow and Fugeo wondered, "Huh?" and his tail hit nothing as the box was suddenly gone. Losing his balance due to the confusion, he fell forward and hit the ground painfully a few times.

Pere looked in confusion why his trap failed he exclaimed, "Impossible!"

"Riku," whispered Sora and said it loud, "Riku saved us. He's been by our side. All right!"

Then he turned around to the three musketeers and Minnie who had joined in the meanwhile and told them, "Musketeers! Get the princess to safety! Fugeo and I'll handle things here."

"Nice that you declare things without me Sora! But alright!" told Fugeo as he finally recovered from his crash landing!

"Right. Thanks, Sora, Fugeo!" told Mickey and while he and the others run away Pete asked, "Why you… How dare you thwart me in the nick of time! This don't add up, I tell ya. Hey! Over here boys!"

From the top of the stage the beagle boys jumped down and Sora told, "That's right, you'll need help."

"Help to get down from this place!" told Fugeo. None of them noticed it, but the seat rows of the place are now filled with different types of Spirits and a T-Rex like stands by the podest where normally the maestro of the orchestra stands.

"Welcome to the battle of the evening! On the one side we have our favorite heroes, Sora the Keybearer, the key that connects all! And Fugeo the dragon! Currently a Ryu dragon but in normal case a full grown Dragon with enough weight to break everybodies brones here by just jumping on them!"

Then the spirit cleared is throat and continued, "On the other side we have Pete and his three goons, the beagle boys! This battle is devided in two rounds! The first round consist to beat the beagle boys and send them back to Pete! Then the second one is dealing with the big boss himself! Pete! Will our heroes keep their winning streak against the bosses of the world or might they lose this one? We will see!"

Then it continues, "Both parties are in their beginning positions and just wait for the signal to begin! This is an all or nothing battle, every known move is allowed and every cheap trick that could be pulled off by either side won't be judged! It is simply beating the opposite team completely! And there was the signal! Fugeo begins with an airborne attack, trying to grab one of the Beagle boys but he dodged! Such a bad luck!"

Then the T-Rex turns to Sora. "But Sora made an excellent start with an Icega spell! Wait! He launched after the attack! It is an Ice Breaker! And one of the Beagle Boys got hit, flying back by the impact! Another tried to hit Sora with the sword but he blocked! Ow! The Beagle Boy got a full hit with the counter effect! That must hurt especially by hitting Fugeo's fire ball afterward! This cost a lot of Heal points! Fugeo and Sora corners two of them now back to back and here is it! Their Special Combo! I count One, two, three, four, five, six, seven hits and now the finishing strike of this combo! Both Beagle Boys had no chance in avoiding it and fly to different ends of the stage! Ladies and Gentlemen! Sora and Fugeo dominates the field! But what is that? The cannons of this ship are not fake like the ship itself! No! They are real! Sora and Fugeo were caught off guard by the sudden shots of the cannons and got a hit death mark! Now the Beagle Boys also managed to get their confusion and attacked them! But Sora manage to block one and counters. Fugeo is now rising in the air again! Will he try to get one again? No! He starts to spin in the air! While the beagle boys wonder what is going on we all know what is coming! I can see the first flames coming and here is it! One of Fugeo's moves! The Fire Tornado! One of the Beagle Boys is so unfortunate to have not realized in time what is happening and now he gets nasty burns during his ride through this hot twister! Fugeo ends his attacks and use his tail as a batter on the still Airborne Boy! He is flying and flies exact to Sora who is now casting a spell! And it is the Mega Flare spell! Ladies and Gentleman! It is now official! This Beagle Boy is out of the count! Fugeo grabs him and made a dive for Pete, using the Beagle Boy like a torpedo! And it hits the mark! Now it is official! One to zero for Sora and Fugeo! Two more points and they will face Pete directly!"

The spirit paused and drank a bottle of water before continuing. "Back to Sora! He launched a perfect Icega Spell at one Beagle and counters after blocking another effortful! Fugeo aids by lunching a flamethrower at the same Beagle Boy! Ladies and Gentleman! These two made a perfect team fight while the remaining Beagle Boys struggle to compensate the loss of one of their companions! What is that? Sora is charging an attack while Fugeo keeps the Beagle Boys away from Sora but still in a close radius! What is the boy up to? It is Salvation! While the two Beagle Boys gets nasty hits, Sora and Fugeo are getting a healing fill! While the Beagle Boys are still are still struggling from the last hit Fugeo gets between them and begins to glow! What is our favorite dragon now doing? Sora is running to the other end of the stage, just like he knows what is happening! Wow! It is the signature move of all Fire dragons: The Fire Fury! Both Beagle Boys are now flying across the stage and Fugeo gets hold of another. But ow! He lost him due the hit by one of Pete's cannons! That is so bad! But Fugeo is already back on the feet and grabs the enemy again! And he flies his attack from earlier again! And… GOAL!!! Two to zero for Sora and Fugeo! And Sora already knocked the last of the Beagle Boys with another Ice Breaker! Now it is only a formal stunt to throw this Beagle Boy back to Pete and here is it! The third goal! This was it! Now the first half of the battle is over! Now we have a short break before the second round begins! And we will be back to scene after only one adversity!"

The window change to blue color and several Dream eaters danced around, singing, "Is your Dream Eater hungry? Then feed him with Dreaco! "

"Dreaco! The perfect food for Dreameaters! May they be Sprits or Nightmares!" told an unseen voice and adds up, "Except for into Ryu Dragon transformed dragons!"

Then the screen changed back to the opera.

The T-Rex like spirit went back to position and cleared his throat. "Ehem! Welcome back Ladies and Gentleman to the second half of this battle! It is now Pete against Sora and Fugeo! Pete stands alone against two heroes but the captain of the Musketeers has for sure some tricks in his sleeve! I am sure we will face an interesting battle! And here he comes! He runs up at Sora, to strike him with the sword but the Keybearer rolled out of the way! Now the captain is in the shooting range of Fugeo and he used it with a fire ball! Now Fugeo runs up to him and attacks with the tail! Sora does the same but Pete was faster now and hit both of them with bombs! Pete uses the distraction of the two to get up the rafters and now the sun and the moon of the stage are flying around! Sora and Fugeo tried to dodge the two obstacles but ohhhh! They are too slow and got hit! What is that? Fugeo grabbed Sora and now they are in the air and out of reach of the sun and moon! Pete throws bombs but with a sovereign move he managed to get out of the way! Pete is back to the stage but Sora greets him with an Ice Breaker! Now a Mega Flare! That must hurt! Now Fugeo pummels him with both of his claws and tail! What do I see? Is Sora charging another Salvation attack? It is! Fugeo just threw Pete to the Keybearer in the very moment were Sora released the light! Pete is on the ground and… Fugeo got him and threw him back to the cannon! GOAL! Pete hit the cannon which was just shooting a cannonball! This was a perfect score! This match is going to Sora and Fugeo! The spectators are going crazy! Even though they expected this outcome they are still happy about this victory! I am lost for words! Lost for breath! I give back to the studio!"

Fugeo and Sora looked in confusion as they saw the large bunch of Dream Eaters sitting in the seats and making loud sounds. Sora looked at Fugeo and he just replied, "Sora… these guys… watched the fight…"

"Oh… uhm…" began Sora but was stopped as he heard an explosion. They got back in battle position but the Dream Eaters are suddenly gone and the three Beagle Boys stumbled into the room. It seems they have been caught in an explosion and fall down after mumbling something. Sora and Fugeo looked at each other and shrugged. Then they left.

In the next morning Sora stood with Donald, Goofy, and Mickey in front of Minnie and they kneeled down in front of the royal lady as she declared, "In gratitude for being so brave and saving us all, I hereby officially dub thee Royal Musketeers. Thank you all!"

"Hurray!" called the friends and Minnie turned to Fugeo was stood in the sidelines, not even with all the other Musketeers on this place. "Fugeo! Please come over!"

The dragon did like told and bows in respect. "Fugeo! You may a dragon but you showed that even a dragon can have a heart of a Musketeer! I hereby dub you as a Royal Mukedragon!"

"Thank you, your Majesty!" told Fugeo and bows more in respect. Sora hits Fugeo's back. "Way to go Fu!"

They raised again and with their swords and Tail they declared while crossing them, "All for one! And One for all!"

Later after saying goodbye to the others, Fugeo and Sora stood in the center of the trainings field . Sora raised his sword and repeated, "All for one, and one for all!"

Fugeo shook his head but accepted it while Sora used his Keyblade on the now appearing Keyhole.
