Chapter 1: Enter the Valley of Piece

In the Gummi Ship, Sora, Donald, and Goofy were flying around the worlds once again, looking for any signs of Organization XIII, Riku, Kairi, and King Mickey. They had revisited several worlds after leaving Radient Garden and had learned about the Organization's plans from Axel (where he was, who knows), and who their leader was. They had already killed Demyx at said place, and then Xaldin at Beast's Castle. Now they weren't sure where to go.

"Let's see, we visited every world we visited after sleeping for a year except Disney Castle and Atlantica, cause they're still ok. So where should we go now?" asked Sora.

"Dunno." replied Donald as he steered the ship. "Where else would Riku, Kairi, and the king be?"

"Maybe we should try Twilight Town." suggested Goofy.

"Why do you say that?" asked Donald.

"That's the only world we haven't visited twice since we woke up. Plus, that was a clue from the photo we got from possibly Riku." answered the king's captain.

"Seems like a good idea." agreed Sora.

Donald shrugged, but just before he could plot a course to Twilight Town, the communications screen started to act up. The three looked at it in confusion before Donald flipped the switch to answer it. Cid appeared on the screen.

"Well if it isn't the traveling trio." he teased.

"A-hyuck! Hiya Cid!" greeted Goofy.

"Where are you guys currently right now?" asked Cid.

"Going to Twilight Town to find our friends, why?" answered and asked Sora.

"Well, I was trying to work on my computer as usual, when it detected a new world covered in darkness. Leon and Aerith suggested that you lot go check it out." said Cid.

"A new world in trouble?" asked Goofy, worried.

"We'd better check it out. Plus, maybe Kairi, Riku, and the king are there." said Sora.

"Alright then, we'll do it Cid." said Donald.

"Great. I'll send you the coordinates." said Cid before smirking. "And try not to get swallowed by a whale again." he added, teasingly.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy looked at him with unamused looks as Cid exited the video-chat and about 12 seconds later, the coordinates came in. Donald entered them into the Gummi Ship, and steered the vessel towards the new world.

It was a long time, but soon the three could see a new world. It looked like it had a Chinese-themed building on top with a small village on the bottom.

"Whoa! Look at that!" exclaimed Sora in awe.

Donald and Goofy were in awe as well the the former parked the ship, and the three were soon beamed down.

Three beams came down from the morning sky as Sora, Donald, and Goofy looked all around heir new surroundings. It looked to be like they were in a village full of homes and shops.

"Are we back in Mulan's world?" asked Sora.

"I don't think so." said Goofy.

"Must be another place in China or something." shrugged Donald.

The three waled around, and to their surprise, the residents all looked like geese, bunnies, pigs, etc. Some took notice of them, especially Sora since he was human, but that didn't last very long as they would then continue on with their day.

About three minutes later, Goofy looked up towards a tall mountain, and saw the Chinese building standing tall above the town, hovering over a bunch of stairs.

"Gawrsh, I wonder what that place is." said Goofy.

"It almost looks like the Emperor of China's palace." said Sora. "Are you guys sure were not in the Land of the Dragons?" he asked his two animal friends.

"Positive." answered Donald before muttering, "Though I wonder if Cid messed something up."

Suddenly, the three heard a scream. They sharply turned to see a goose in a red and gold peasant attire with what looked like a noodle hat on his head, carrying a crate of vegetables, and running from Heartless.

"Get away from me! Help!" screamed the goose.

"Hold on sir!" called Sora, as he summoned Kingdom Key, Donald, brought out his staff, and Goofy brought out his shield.

They ran in between the goose and Heartless before slashing them left, right, and center.

Once the Heartless were all vanquished, they turned towards the bird.

"You all right?" asked Sora, concerned for the innocent goose.

"Yes, I am know, oh thank you so much!" thanked the bird, shaking Sora, then Donald, and then Goofy's hands. "Who might you be, I've never seen you around here before?" he asked.

"We're from out of town." Sora half-lied. "I'm Sora."

"Donald Duck." said Donald, jerking a thumb towards himself.

"Name's Goofy." finished Goofy.

"My name is Tsu Ping, but others call me Mr. Ping. I run the best noodle shop in the valley." said Mr. Ping.

"Valley?" asked Goofy.

"Yes. You really are from out of town." answered and murmured Mr Ping. "This place is called the Valley of Peace." he added.

"Oh. I see." nodded Sora.

"Say, since you saved me, how about we walk about to my noodle shop and I make something for you three. My son should be up by now and we can make you a free order. Whaddya say?" he offered.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy's stomachs then rumbled, making them blush in embarrassment. Mr. Ping chuckled.

"I'll take that as a yes." he murmured before picking up his vegetable crate and gestured them to follow him. Sora, Donald, and Goofy then followed, excited to try some free food.

Meanwhile in Radient Garden, more specifically outside Merlin's home, a Corridor of Darkness opened to reveal a familiar tall man with spiky red hair, small purple tear-drop tattoos under his eyes, and in an Organization XIII cloak.

"Radient Garden. Man it's been too long." murmured Axel, walking around a little. "Don't know how long I can hide out here until the others come to get my head." he added sourly.

It had been about over a week since Axel had last encountered Sora, Donald, and Goofy, told them about Xemnas' true intentions, and nearly told them about Kairi before Saïx found him, making him escape. Kairi (and Pluto) had long since got away from him about two days after he kidnapped her from Twilight Town, and escaped from the Organization's castle, possibly thanks to Riku, as it was a person in the same cloak as Axel helped her escape, before going to try and help Sora on his second world revisiting journey.

He sighed as he sat down on a bench. "What I wouldn't give to be with Roxas, sit down on top of the clocktower in Twilight Town, and eat that delicious sea salt ice cream again." Axel murmured with a small smile. He would've bought some of that ice cream from one of the shops, but those were run by Donald's uncle Scrooge, and his nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and if they saw him, he'd have to get out of there before the Restoration Committee found him, or if they contacted Donald, Sora, and Goofy.

Or both.

Axel sighed as he got up and was about to go inside Merlin's house to ask if he could spend the night before going out again on his own should the likes of Xemnas, Xigbar, Saïx, or Luxord find and kill him.

But as he arrived to the front door, he peered in through the window to see if anyone was home before knocking.

To his dismay, inside was the Restoration Committee. Cid was on his computer, Merlin was reading Winnie the Pooh's book, Leon was chatting with Cloud, Aerith and Yuffie were sitting down at a table, also chatting, Tifa was writing in a notebook, and the gullwings, Paine, Rikku, and Yuna were looking over things on the chalkboard.

"Ah crud." groaned Axel. "Better get out of here before they see me." He stepped away from the house to think. "But where to? Where is the last place the Organization would check for me?" he wondered out loud before he had an idea. "Ahh... That's it." he muttered before disappearing.

Just then, Cid opened the door to see no one at the entrance.

"Heh. No one's here ya old loon!" he called back inside. "Must've been hearing things again." Or there's pranksters on the loose. He thought to himself.

Back in the Valley of Peace, Sora, Donald, and Goofy sat at the counter of Mr. Ping's home/restaurant. Mr. Ping brought them three bowls of noodle soup. They each took a taste, and smiles brightened up their faces.

"Wow! This is good!" exclaimed Sora.

"Delicious!" added Donald.

"Gawrsh, I've never tasted anything like this!" added Goofy.

"Glad you like it." smiled Mr. Ping as he picked up some stuff. He looked upstairs and shouted, "Po! Get up!"

"So Po's your son?" asked Donald.

"Yes. Do any of you have kids?" asked Mr. Ping.

"I'm only a teen." said Sora.

"I have a son back home named Max." said Goofy.

Sora looked at the dog in surprise. "You never told me you had a son!"

"I didn't? Huh, must've slipped my mind." murmured Goofy.

"I don't have kids, but I have three nephews named Huey, Dewey, and Louie, who I guess you can say are like my sons since I'm their legal guardian after my sister Della... disappeared." added Donald before his voice slowly trailed off.

Before Sora could ask about what happened to Della, they heard Mr. ping shout, "Po! Let's go! You're late for work!"

"Coming!" called a voice.

Four seconds later, coming downstairs, to Sora, Donald, and Goofy's surprise was... a large panda in pants, skidding down the stairs to a stop.

That's Po? They thought to themselves, sharing glances since they were thinking the same thing, but decided not to say anything in case they'd offend or hurt Po and/or Mr. Ping.

"Sorry dad." apologized Po from the ground.

"Sorry doesn't make the noodles." scolded Mr. Ping. "Also, we have guests." he added.

Po gasped in excitement. "Is it the Furious Five?" he asked giddily.

Mr. Ping chuckled while the traveling trio shared glances.

"No, these three right here; Sora, Donald, and Goofy. They saved me from some weird black creatures that appeared out of nowhere." answered Mr. Ping.

Instead of being disappointed by not meeting the so-called "Furious Five," Po instead exclaimed, "Whoa! You saved my dad?!"

"It was no trouble at all. It's what we do." replied Sora before extending his hand. "So your Po right?"

"Yeah, that's me." he replied, shaking Sora's hand.

"I'm Sora. To my left's Donald Duck, and to my right is Goofy." said Sora, gesturing to his friends.

"Hi!" greeted Donald.

"Hiya!" greeted Goofy.

"Nice to meet you." said Po.

"Po, I need your help around here." called Mr. Ping, carrying a knife and some vegetables.

"OH, uh, sure thing dad." replied Po as he got to work helping his father.

"So what were you doing up there, all that noise we heard when I was cooking for our guests?" asked Mr. Ping, chopping some asparagus.

Po suddenly became nervous. Sora seemed to sense it.

"Oh, uh, nothing." he replied solemnly. "Just, uh, had a crazy dream."

"What were you dreaming about?" Mr. Ping asked, curiously.

"Being rich like my uncle?" guessed Donald.

Po and Mr. Ping looked at the mage in confusion while Sora and Goofy softly snickered.

"What?" asked Donald. "My Uncle Scrooge is the richest duck from where I come from." he replied.

Po and Mr. Ping nodded in understanding before the former said to the latter, who was chopping veggies once again, "I was dreaming about uh... noodles." he answered quietly, and a bit uneasily.

Mr. Ping chopped a vegetable in half before muttering blandly, "Noodles... you were really dreaming about noodles?..."

"Uh, yeah sure." replied Po, acting as if it was no big deal.

Suddenly, Mr. Ping began to feel excited. "Oh happy day! My son finally having the noodle dream!"

"'Noodle dream?'" Sora whispered to Donald and Goofy, who merely shrugged.

"You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this moment!" cried Mr. Ping happily as he put a noodle apron around Po's waist. "This is a sign Po!"

"Uh... a sign of what?" asked the panda.

"You are almost ready to be entrusted with the secret ingredient of my 'Secret Ingredient Soup'. And then you will fulfill your destiny and take over the restaurant!" explained Mr. Ping before quickly running over to a section of wall with three portraits and pointed at them accordingly while saying to the four, "Just as I took it over from my father, who took it over from his father, who won it from a friend in a game of mahjong."

Sora just stared incredulously, while Donald and Goofy shared a glance.

"Dad, dad, dad, it was just a dream." said Po, chuckling nervously.

"No, it was the dream. We are noodle folk. Broth runs through our veins." said Mr. Ping.

"But Dad, didn't you ever, I dunno, want to do something else? Something besides noodles?" asked Po.

"Yeah, like something you've always desired?" Sora chimed in.

"Actually, when I was young and crazy, I thought about running away and learning how to make tofu." admitted Mr. Ping.

"So why didn't you?!" asked Po, surprised.

"Oh, because it was a stupid dream." replied Mr. Ping, simply, while chopping some more vegetables. "Can you imagine me making tofu?" he asked them before laughing at the thought, before throwing his knife on the cutting board. "No. We all have our place in this world. Mine's here, (to Po) and yours is at tables 2, 5, 7, 12, and 15 when customers start pouring in." he then put a similar noodle hat on Po's head before adding as he went upstairs, "Service with a smile!"

Po smiled until his dad was out of sight. Once he was, he let the smile disappear before he began to make some more noodle bowls.

"So, uh... were you really dreaming about noodles?" asked Sora.

"Uh... yeah... sure..." answered Po, uneasily.

Sora shook his head. "Po, I can tell you were lying because you couldn't bare to tell your dad the truth. We understand."

Po looked at the three, the two anthropomorphic animals nodding in agreement with Sora's statement.

"So what were you really dreaming about?" asked Donald.

Po sighed before saying with a longing look, "I was dreaming about... kung fu."

This made Sora, Donald, and Goofy look at him in surprise. "Kung fu? Really?" asked Sora.

"Yeah. If you do recall me saying, I was hoping our guests were the Furious Five." he explained as he thought of something. "Ooh! Wait here!"

He then carefully ran up the stairs before coming down with five action figures of what appeared to be animals.

One was a female tiger, wearing a traditional red Chinese vest with golden vine patterns and black trim, held together with small metal fasteners and a waist wrap. She also wears black silk pants and black sandals with soles designed to resemble paw pads.

Another was a green viper snake with two pink lotus flowers near her blue eyes, with Chinese writing on her body.

Another was a blue and white crane, wearing a popular conical Asian hat known as a rice hat, loose blue pants with a purple sash wrapped around his waist in the style of a Shaolin wrap, rings around his ankles and toes: Five ankle rings on each of his legs, and a single toe ring on each of his toes.

Another one was a green mantis, who's action figure seemed to be the same size as an actual one.

And finally, the last one was a monkey wearing studded leather wristbands, loose brown sweatpants with the waist and ankles wrapped in the style of a Shaolin leg wrap, and his waist sash was colored gold.

"Cool action figures Po." complimented Goofy.

"These aren't just action figures Goofy, these are the Furious Five; Masters Tigress, Viper, Crane, Mantis, and Monkey. Masters of kung fu." explained Po, almost ominously.

"Really?! Cool!" exclaimed Sora.

"I know! All trained under a red panda named Master Shifu, who was trained under a wise old turtle named Grand Master Oogway." All who reside up there, in the Jade Palace." explained Po, pointing towards the Chinese-themed building.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy looked up to it in awe.

"Wow!" they said, simultaneously.

"I know! My dream is to one day become a kung fu master like them." Po further explained before his excited expression fell. "But how can a simple noodle-folk person, who is a big, fat, chubby, clumsy panda like me be a kung fu master, especially since his father expects him to be running hi shop someday?" he asked sadly.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy looked at him with sorry expressions.

"Po, if there was anything I've ever learned in my life, it's that you should never give up on your dreams." said Sora.

"Who knows? Maybe you will be a kung fu master if you put your mind to it." encouraged Donald.

"Just don't stop believing." encouraged Goofy.

Po smiled "Thanks guys."

The trio then began to finish up their noodles.

"And by the way, this is truly amazing." added Goofy.

"I've never tasted noodles this good in my life!" agreed Sora.

"You said it! These really know how to satisfy your hunger." agreed Donald, gulping down the rest of his noodles. Donald wiped his beak with his sleeve before letting out a burp. He covered his beak with his feathered hand, and blushed in embarrassment. "Excuse me." he said sheepishly.

Sora, Goofy, and Po laughed at that, and Donald joined in.

As the four chatted away after that, none noticed a person in a black cloak, similar to the one members of Organization XIII wore, watching them from a hill with his hood up, covering his face. It was-you guessed it-Riku, watching over Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

"Enjoy your time here now guys, but after Master Oogway's vision, you're gonna need to give it your all." said Riku.

To be continued...
