The First Adventures

**The First Adventures** is the first major arc in *Disney's Final Frontier*. The arc only consists of 2 Episodes, but contains everything essential to kickstart the plot of the game, outside of the Exordium.

## Story Events

### Post-Snow White

With Queen Grimhilde defeated, The Blot angrily attempts to send her back to Castle Deysin, only to find that she lies dead in front of the villains. She was only a minor setback in the team's major operation, as Honest John was praised for his bribery, willing to send him to Pinocchio's world to get the first Item of Creativity the villains were after.

The heroes, and Figment, are celebrating their first adventure being completed with a nice dinner outside the Hideaway. Figment mentions to them their heroics have unlocked the pathway to two new locations, which are Pinocchio and Dumbo. Tod and the gang were given the option of what to tackle first.

* You can choose to head to Pinocchio immediately.
* You can choose to head to Dumbo, but Tod would then be stopped by Tramp, who tells him, "I'd like to do this one with you and Bagheera alone while everyone else is asleep." Agreeing to Tramp's idea starts the next arc immediately. You can always do Pinocchio during any of the other arcs.
* You can sleep on it. (See Pre-Pinocchio below)

Regardless of choice, Figment is glad about your decision and gives the team some time to prepare for their next adventure.

### Pre-Pinocchio

This is the first playable segment of the Dream Realm. This only becomes available if you choose to sleep in before starting Pinocchio.

Tod and Marian are taking a walk in the woods when they encounter a forest fire. Tod searches for the source and is given a vision about Pinocchio and his misadventures, which gives him an idea on where to go next. Working with Marian, the two attempt to put the fire out, but since they weren't skilled enough at the time to perform *Elemental Absorption* or put the fire out in its entirety, Tod starts a new fire to let it burn into the new one to cancel both fires out.

Simba is fully aware of his new Light Elemental skills after his first adventure. He's no longer scared of the hyenas (nor the Blotlings) due to his newfound bravery, to which a new lion looking exactly like Scar congratulates him for. The teenaged lion introduces himself as Kovu, who has been displaced in time because of a glitch that happened about a decade ago. Little did he know this first interaction started changing their relationship. After figuring out how to manipulate the Dream Realm while asleep, Simba eventually crosses paths with Nala, who was also asleep over in the Pride Lands. Nala is surprised to see Simba there and explains what has gone down. Realizing that he has been tricked, he damns Scar and swears revenge on him. Nala and Simba agreed to find each other soon, after this meeting was finished.

The team woke up refreshed and ready, with Figment getting the portal system ready once more. The team enters the portal to start the next adventure.

### Post-Pinocchio

If you failed to find the first hidden Item of Creativity, a cutscene plays out. Honest John would reveal he got the pen from Geppetto's Workshop, and the villains congratulate him for doing so without being caught. They would then proceed to try and figure out where the next Item of Creativity is. However, if you succeeded, Honest John returns empty handed, stating he had searched High and Low, but the pen wasn't there. The Blot assumes it was the work of Figment who got to it first, proceeding to choke Honest John with his own ink in retaliation. He, however, requests one more chance, with this time getting BOTH the first and the next Items of Creativity via confrontation.

Assuming no way around a confrontation with the heroes next time, The Blot gives Honest John a power boost by infecting him with ink, and infusing his blood with it. Honest John not only became stronger, but now has the power to control the Blotlings at will.

The heroes are proud of their second victory, even managing to take down a foe bigger than all of them combined. Figment introduces the new Skill Shop he had been working on in the meantime, allowing the team access to new spells they weren't able to learn naturally. You, as the player, can upgrade your team's spells through it, which makes it a lot easier for stat building in the adventure.

Tramp pulled Tod aside after dinner, asking if he would like to go on a small side mission later with him and Bagheera. Tod agreed to this before the team went to bed. This ends The First Adventures arc and sets up the Arrival of Nala arc.

### Bonus Chapter - Shenzi and Nala

*To unlock this chapter, you must be playing the game on Hard Difficulty or higher. This chapter occurs before the start of the Pinocchio level.*

After learning from Simba what had REALLY happened to him, feeling he's still alive out there, she wakes up in the middle of the night in the Pride Lands and sneaks out and away from Sarafina, her mother, and the current leader, Scar. Unlucky for her, she was found by Shenzi Marie and was asked to turn back for both their sakes. Nala, however, objects, saying she's out to find Simba. Shenzi was surprised hearing that as she convinced herself that Simba was already dead after being gone for so long. Shenzi inevitably agreed to Nala leaving to find Simba, much to Nala's surprise wondering if there was a reason for why the sudden change of heart, but Shenzi was curious herself if Simba really was alive. Nala gave out a smile and a thank you before running off in the middle of the night. Shenzi followed Nala in secret using her to get to Simba but eventually lost her. As they were too far gone from Pride Rock, she started to think if there was even a life for her with Scar as their ruler and the lack of food as well. Wandering alone after losing Nala she questioned her leadership and if she was worthy going back. Would they even care if she left? It soon came to realization that she was better off without them and went on her own path finding food and shelter.
