Great job with this chapter! Once again, you have surprised me by adding another character in this arc, especially by having our Hoshidan sibling Takumi make his appearance in this chapter ;D When you had the arrow shot, I thought it was Takumin but then said to myself, 'No, it couldn't be...!'. Then when you described his appearance and then had Sakura and Kaze say his name, I was internally screaming 'NANI?!' while my jaw dropped and my eyes almost popped out XD I gotta tell ya, I was actually thinking it was Azura when Maleficent was talking to the unknown figure from the last chapter. Though now I can see it makes sense why it was Takumi all this time. Like the previous reviewer mentioned, Takumi was easy for Maleficent to manipulate just like she did with poor Terra since his heart was filled with darkness from the anger and sadness of Kamui's betrayal as well as the resentment of the Norhians for the death of both his parents. I wouldn't be surprised if Vanitas made his appearance again in the future and say that Takumi is a perfect magnet of attracting the Unverse.
Well anyway, that's enough on that topic. You did a great job on making me laugh in this chapter. I couldn't help but chuckle when you had Kaze comment that Donald and Goofy weren't just goofballs when they sensed something wrong with their home. Then when you had Daisy beat the crap out of Donald with a broom for not calling her back for about a year, I bursted out laughing while feeling sympathy for poor Donald literally getting the short end of the stick XD
I was honestly expecting Saukra and Kaze to comment on the ruler of Disney Castle being a mouse, but I guess after meeting Donald and Goofy they weren't surprised and thought nothing of it. However, I do like the idea of Queen Minnie being considered a White Magic user as well as teaching Sakura how to use Pearl. I liked how you had Corrin use the fire orb to get rid of the Heartless. That will definitely be another story for Sora and the gang to tell Sakura and Kaze how he was able to do that. I also liked the idea of having Sora and Sakura ride on Corrin in his dragon form to fight their way to the throne room, though poor Sakura was shaken up from that crazy ride XD
Oh boy...looks like our boys as well as Kaze and Sakura are gonna have to slap some sense back into Takumi. Once they establish that, they are gonna have A LOT to explain to him, though I'll be looking forward to see how you'll have Takumi explain how he even traveled from his world and encountered Maleficent. I also know that with the way Takumi currently is...he and Sora and especially Corrin are gonna be butting heads a lot for a while. I wouldn't be surprised if he argued a lot with Donald since they're both cranky hot heads, especially since Donald will flat out say he doesn't want to take him along in their travels because they already had to reluctantly take Sakura and Kaze along with them. I'm not surprised that Takumi is your favorite character, so I know you have lots of plans on how you'll develop his character throughout this arc and will have plenty of fun doing that XD
Whelp, I guess I better wrap this up. I hope we'll see you again soon for the battle between our heroes and Takumi. You be sure to stay safe and rest. Ciao ;D

Well things just got interesting also Takumi is here

Great work! Oh dear...looks like Takumi is under a spell similar to how Maleficent once "awakened and prodded" at the Darkness within Terra’s heart that one time!

I hope they can snap the Royal Archer out of it in time!

Wow, you're throwing out these surprises left and right. Can't wait to see what happens next.

So there’s takumi

Didn’t realise dark road was out

Wonder what’s next

Also I jsut realised but will o pro get to meet sora and what would she think of the kh fashion

Pretty good job with your interpretation of the beast controlled by evil fight as well as this chapter with the fight involving the dark thorn . Not really much for me to report other than the fact that at least the other characters were able to recap what happened in the previous Story to Kaze and Sakura and we immediately go to Disney Castle. That means it's time for some Mickey Mouse Hi jinks good old cartoons( I swear I'm gonna geek if some of the 3 fire emblem characters turn into old school cartoons) And the time paradox saying forget everything lol. That's gonna be fun but overall pretty good 2 set of chapters. Stay safe and healthy and all that jazz!

Great job with this chapter Golden! You did well with the battle since enjoyed the battle between our heroes and Dark Thorn/Shadow Stalker. I especially loved the part when you had Kaze comment on Sora being crazy and Corrin is just all like "Yeah it becomes a common thing when you get to know him". I couldn't stop laughing when he said that because we all know Sora is the living definition of recklessness when it comes to fighting bosses XD I was also glad you involved the Reaction commands for this boss fight since those were definitely fun. Then when Xaldin popped out of nowhere, whoo boy did Kaze get a rude wake up call on how powerful and smart the Organization is. Our boys, including Kaze and Sakura, are definitely gonna need to be careful when they encounter them again.
I'm glad our heroes were able to patch things up for the time being, though they'll be back again to see how Belle and Beast are doing. I honestly wasn't expecting our gang to stop at Disney Castle next, but I'm actually quite happy and excited because we'll see the boys' as well as Kaze and Sakura's reactions on Mickey, Donald, and Goofy's home, especially when our ninja and shrine maiden see that one of the royal rulers of that world is a mouse XD Though I also hope you'll have Sakura comment on how cute Chip and Dale are since their chipmunks X3 Another reason why I'm happy they're going to that world next is because - yes, you guessed right folks - the events in Disney Castle will then lead to visiting Timeless River! The past where everyone will look like a corny cartoon character from the 1930s XD I can already see how Corrin, Sakura, and Kaze will look as old cartoon characters ;D Oh, and let's not forget that cliffhanger ending you left us when you had Maleficent speak to someone in the background and have them remain silent until the scene turned black! That is definitely gonna drive me nuts to figuring out who it is DX Oh well...you gave us a good chapter, so I won't complain. I hope we'll see you again soon, so stay safe and TTFN, ta ta for now :D

Excellent work! I enjoyed this! Although I wonder... seeing as Kaze jumped to the possible conclusion that Sora maybe created a Nobody, will he (slowly) eventually connect the pieces when the Organization calls him by Roxas? Just wondering.

I wonder if other fire emblem characters of nohr or hoshido will be in the story.

P.s his there a chance in the kh3 final world after sora talk to the mysterious star sora talk to corrin and kamui biological mother and sora and corrin mom introduced themselves and talk of how corrin life was on Destiny Island and his adventures with sora and the gang.

good chapter a bit of wrap up to this arc also nice that will be going to disney castle I wonder who Sakura going to talk too

So Sakura and Kaze saw Corrin go dragon, yeah they’re going to have a few questions for him when they get back to the ship.
You know I have this scene in my head that you could do between Sakura and Belle. The idea is Sakura just talks to Belle about her fear of loosing Corrin, I mean the poor girl lost her mother and Kamui in one day, then Azura disappeared a few days later. Yeah she could talk to Kaze about it but he’ll say what she wants to hear, the boys, Donald and Goofy could make a promise that nothing will happen but I don’t think that’ll calm her fears. Talking to Belle will at least get the fear off her chest and even if Belle can’t give an answer just being a friendly ear is maybe what Sakura needs.
And now for the Boss fight I really hope you put the reaction commands in here, they’re some of my favorites in the whole game. Well that became a ramble hope it helps.

Me like the new chapter brah.

Awesome work! Good to see that this world will be split into two like the game. I couldn’t see Sora and co beating Xaldin as they are now.

Nice job on this chapter! I know it was short, but you made it go straight to the point since snapping Beast out of his anger and despair was supposed to be quick in the first place. Smart idea to have Corrin transform into a dragon to battle with Beast since the cursed prince's strength is something not to underestimate. Plus, it at least allowed Sora to concentrate his power onto Cogsworth and gave Kaze and Sakura the idea that he's able to transform like Kamui. I'm glad to see our favorite ally is back to his old self, though I felt bad for him when he was being hard on himself. I sort of understand how he feels, so I can empathize with him. Though it also makes me happy to see that Sakura doesn't think he's not so bad since she sort of sees Takumi in him.
I think you made a wise choice of benching Sakura for the Shadow Stalker/Dark Thorn boss fight. I completely agree that she's not ready yet to face such powerful foes since she barely knows a couple spells and doesn't have the experience or skills yet to be able to keep herself safe. It would be very difficult for our boys and Kaze to focus on bringing down that Heartless while trying to protect her at the same time if she were a part of the battle. I know she'll get better and have her spotlight when the time comes, but in the meantime she needs to stay safe. I couldn't help but smile a little when Sora said to Sakura he would be sure to protect their brother. Makes me hope that Sakura starts to see that Sora doesn't just see Corrin as only his brother like the Norhian siblings did with Kamui, but as both of their brother. This, ladies and gentlemen, is part of the reason why we love Sora XD
Another thing I want to say is that I think it was better to follow the script from the game for Xander since, as you said before, the way he was handled and portrayed in the manga was...weird to say the least. Not to mention that it's still too soon for our boys to fight Xander since he is one the most powerful members of Organization XIII for his strength and agility. They'll get their chance to end him when the time is right. Whelp, that's all I need to say. I hope we'll see the boss fight conclusion to the first visit of Beast's Castle really soon! I wanna see Kaze in action with our boys, and I definitely wanna see how you'll use the reaction commands on this fight! See you later and stay safe ;D
