Beast's Castle: Something's Wrong with Beast

"what is this place", Sora asked, looking around the castle

"it's huge", Donald stated

"guys, I think I've been here before, just not sure when or where, but it feels familiar in a way", Kate said

"it's sorta gloomy, don't ya think", Goofy asked

"I wonder who lives here", Sora asked as well, then, all of a sudden, a roar was heard making the four jump

"you all recognize that", Goofy asked as the roar was heard again

"It's Beast", Kate said

"maybe we should check up on him", Goofy stated as then heartless began to appear, moving towards a room, the four followed in pursuit, finding nothing but a rose in a glass case, as Donald began to approach the rose, the heartless emerged, the four were surrounded, as the four fought, more heartless appeared.

"aw, c'mon, enough already" Sora said

"somebody help us", Donald shouted, as then the doors flew open, Beast walked into the room and got rid of all the heartless

"just in time", Sora said, as he waved to him, but Beast shoved him out of the way and shoved the others as well, he grabbed the rose and walked out of the room, the four watched him with worry.

"gee, do ya think he maybe forgot who we are", Goofy asked

"with all the heartless around, something must be up", Sora stated

"maybe Belle might know something, if we can find her, she may tell us what's going on", Kate explained

"we'd best start there then", Sora said as the four left the room and began to search for Belle, their start of the search led them towards the east wing of the castle where they then heard voices behind a door, Donald however, tried to break down the door, but the door opened by itself and Donald went down to the ground

"hey, who opened the door", Donald asked in an angry tone

"oh, I'm so happy you're here", Belle said as she gave Donald a hug, Donald began to struggle as then Belle noticed the others, "Sora, Kate, Goofy",

"hiya", Sora greeted as everyone waved 

"put me down, put me down", Donald stated as then Belle put him down

"where's the beast", Donald asked

"oh, he must be in the west wing, we don't talk like we used to", Belle stated

"did something happen", Sora asked

"yes, Isn't that why you're here", Belle asked

"not exactly, but we can still help you", Goofy stated

"why hasn't Beast been talking to you", Kate asked

"he's been acting strange lately, the only ones who might know are locked up in the dungeon", Belle explained, "I want to help them, but...",

"wait a second, who locked who up", Sora asked

"the Beast locked up his servants", Belle said

"where's this dungeon", Kate asked

"you can get there from the west hall, be careful", Belle said as the four nodded their heads and began making their way towards the west wing of the castle, soon everyone was looking around for the dungeons entrance, however, Sora moved a wardrobe which revealed the door

"here it is", Sora called out

"do you mind", the wardrobe stated and moved back in front of the door and fell asleep
