A [[Nobody]]-like creature with wings and a helmet similar to those worn by [[Soldier]]s appears from out of nowhere, and its goal is to steal the legendary Fairy Spectre which it will use to uncover the Sword in the Stone and bring Great Britain under its rule. The figure disappears with the Spectre after narrowly avoiding [[Goofy]]. [[Minnie Mouse|Minnie]] alerts [[Donald Duck|Donald]], who is depicted here as being capable of transporting himself and others to different worlds via his magic. | A [[Nobody]]-like creature with wings and a helmet similar to those worn by [[Soldier]]s appears from out of nowhere, and its goal is to steal the legendary Fairy Spectre which it will use to uncover the Sword in the Stone and bring Great Britain under its rule.

They promptly bump into Judge Claude Frollo, who happened to be passing there. One of Frollo's thugs claims to have seen them appear out of nowhere, and Frollo declares witchcraft-practicing outlaws to be arrested and burned at the stake. Sora and Riku run for it, unaware that they are being watched from above. | ||
As they flee, they come across a beautiful young gypsy woman named Esmeralda, who helps them escape Frollo. Once they are safe, she introduces them to Quasimodo, a resident of Notre Dame cathedral. Sora asks Esmeralda if she happens to be the world's princess, but she claims that she is not. Riku looks over the balcony and Sora joins him, deciding that they may be able to find a door back to their own world. One of the gargoyles answers Sora, asking him what kind of door he seeks, and then takes him to the world's door, which opens a door to the next world, where the figure truly is. | As they flee, they come across a beautiful young gypsy woman named Esmeralda, who helps them escape Frollo.

*Curiously, there are many themes used in this comic that would later be incorporated into ''Kingdom Hearts II'', such as the design of the mysterious creature which greatly resembles a Nobody, and the idea of a world opening a door to another, like Disney Castle revealing a door to [[Timeless River]] (although they are essentially the same world, making the door more of a time machine than a portal). | *Curiously, there are many themes used in this comic that would later be incorporated into ''Kingdom Hearts II'', such as the design of the mysterious creature which greatly resembles a Nobody, and the idea of a world opening a door to another, like Disney Castle revealing a door to [[Timeless River]] (although they are essentially the same world, making the door more of a time machine than a portal). | ||
*Sora is only accompanied by Riku, rather than by Donald and Goofy, who stay in Disney Castle.
