Long ago, on the very islands, the Avengers and King Mickey defended the one day Guardian of Light, a young man by the name of Xehanort watched the endless ocean ahead of him. He couldn't help but comment, "This world... is just too small."

It was at this moment, he realized, he was no longer alone on the play island. He around turned to see a figure in a brown robe approach him. The robs covered him head to toe, he couldn't even see any features on his face... if the mysterious figure even had one. Before he could ask who the being was, a voice spoke within the robes, "My waypoint."

Xehanort blinked in confusion, "What?"

"The world from your dreams... It does indeed exist. This is nothing but a prison surrounded by ocean," The figure told the young man, "There is nothing for you here. Is this where you wish to carry out your life?"

Xehanort hesitantly approached the figure, "Who are you?"

"I am your waypoint," The 'man' in the brown robes answered, "As you are mine."

"What do you mean?" Xehanort asked, not at all understanding what the visitor was saying, "Who are you? How did you get here?"

"Answers are meaningless if you lack the knowledge to understand them," The figure replied as he informed the youthful islander, "Here, there is only so much you can learn. You must explore the world outside."

The silver head tilted his head, "Huh?"

The robed figure motions with his arm and a portal, a corridor of darkness, appeared before them, "It's easier than you'd think. One step forward is all it takes. But if you lack the courage and strength, your dreams will remain dreams forever."

Xehanort walked forward and stared into the portal. Could everything he had ever dreamed about just be within arms reach? Was one step all it took? For some reason, in his heart, there was something familiar about this man in the brown robes. He felt like he could trust him just like he trust himself. Xehanort took one step forward and entered the darkness...

Back in the present, Wanda exited the portal of the mouse created for them. Spider-Man followed shortly after by the time they turned around the portal closed behind them. The Scarlet Witched turned to the boy in her arms, "Are you okay?"

Sora looked up to her with a smile and nodded. This made her smile in relief as Spidey looked at the town before them, "So... where are we now."

The lights of the city shine around them, but it wasn't New York or any city known on the planet Earth...

Traverse Town

"Wherever we are, I think we're safe for now," Scarlet Witch admitted ruffling Sora's hair making him giggle. She then turned to Peter, "So, that mouse... do you think we can trust him?"

"You mean to tell me you never heard of Mickey Mouse," Spider-Man turned to Wanda dumbfounded, "Did Magento never watch you Disney cartoons or movies when you were a kid?"

She still seemed confused of what he was talking about so he went on further, "You mean to tell me, you've never seen movies like the Emperor's New Groove, Lion King, Aladdin, or at the very least you must have seen Frozen?!"

She once again blinked, before recalling, "Oh, you must mean all those children's flicks and that theme park that's mouse themed." She turned to away, "Yeah, most of my childhood has been running from people who tried to kill us for who were are with my brother. Even after my father found and rescued us, I was already too old to watch those sort of things."
