"Into the Darkness of Licorice Forest"

As the heroes journeyed on, the atmosphere began to shift, and the air grew thick with an eerie, unsettling energy. The once-vibrant landscape gave way to a dark and foreboding forest, its twisted trees looming like skeletal fingers. The sign above the entrance read "World 7: Licorice Forest," and the heroes exchanged nervous glances. Super Sailor Moon's eyes narrowed, her grip on her transformation brooch tightening. "We're getting close to the final world," she whispered, her voice laced with concern. "The villains must be waiting for us." Wonder Minnie's eyes darted about, her usually sunny disposition clouded by worry. "I don't like this," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "It feels like we're walking into a trap." Super Power Pup let out a low, anxious growl, its fur standing on end as it scanned the surroundings. Chibi Moon clung to Super Goof's arm, her eyes wide with fear. "I don't want to be here," she whispered. But one hero remained undaunted: Super Mickey. His confident smile and reassuring tone steadied the others. "Hey, friends! We've come too far to turn back now. We just need to stay focused and support each other. We can do this!" With renewed determination, the heroes ventured into the Licorice Forest. The trees seemed to close in around them, casting long, ominous shadows on the ground. As they walked, the silence grew thicker, punctuated only by the soft rustling of leaves and the creaking of branches. And then, without warning, Super Mickey, Bliss, and Super Sailor Moon vanished. The remaining heroes spun around, frantically searching for their missing friends. "Mickey! Sailor Moon! Bliss!" Wonder Minnie cried out, her voice echoing through the forest. Super Power Pup let out a panicked bark, racing off in one direction, only to return, its ears drooping in worry. Super Goof stumbled forward, his eyes scanning the trees. "Gawrsh, where'd they go? We gotta find 'em!" Chibi Moon's eyes welled up with tears as she clung to Super Goof's arm. "We have to find them," she whispered. "We can't leave them behind." Wonder Minnie's face set in a determined expression. "We'll find them," she vowed. "We just have to stay calm and work together." But deep down, she was worried sick for Super Mickey. She had grown to care for him, and the thought of losing him was unbearable. Super Power Pup, too, was consumed by anxiety, its keen senses on high alert as it sniffed the air, searching for any sign of its friends. As the heroes combed the forest, the darkness seemed to grow thicker, like a living, breathing entity. They knew they had to find Super Mickey, Bliss, and Super Sailor Moon before it was too late. But as they called out their friends' names, the only response was the haunting silence of the Licorice Forest.
