(This was the original script idea I had for the series but I put it on the shelf because I was worried it wouldn’t work. But I decided to post it anyway so that you can decide which is better.)
After waking up in a new world. Sora find himself separated from Kairi and Riku who ended up in the same world.
Chapter 2: traverse town 1
Usually, Traverse Town is a quiet village. Lately, though, it started to tremble with visitors. Many of them claim to come from different worlds. The latest visitor were Donald, Goofy and Pluto. Something in the sky catches Goofy’s attention and he stops, gazing upward. Donald turns around as Goofy points upward. Donald follows his gaze and gasps.
Goofy: “Look, a star’s goin’ out!”
A bright star in the night sky twinkles and blinks out of existence. Donald’s face turns serious.
Donald: “Come on. Let’s hurry.”
Goofy nods and they walk through the center of the main district toward a flight of steps. The neon letters of the various shops blink in the night air while a few townsfolk inhabit the picturesque town square. Pluto runs ahead of the two.
Donald: “Where’s that key...”
Goofy: “maybe we should find Leon first.”
They reach the top of the steps in front of an accessory shop. Pluto sniffs around a dark alleyway, while Donald walks off to the right on his own course. Goofy notices Pluto and stops.
Goofy: “Uh, Donald. Ya know, I betcha that...”
Donald: “Aw, what do you know, you big palooka?”
Goofy: “What do I know? Hmm...”
He ponders this for a second before following Donald.
Goofy (calling): “Come on, Pluto.”
Pluto continues his search down the alley, turning a corner at a pile of wooden crates. He comes across a sleeping Sora and licks his face. Sora’s eyes blink open slowly and he peers around sleepily, seeing the dog, who happily wags his tail at the sight of him.
Sora: “What a dream...”
He starts nodding off again and Pluto pounces on him. He gives off a startled yell.
Sora: “This isn’t a dream!”
He squints at the dog, his eyes focusing for a moment, before standing up. He searches his surroundings. Several notices are pinned up on a wall nearby, but even in the dimness of the alleyway, what he sees is not familiar.
Sora: “where am I? Oh, boy. Do you know where we are?”
Pluto hears a voice calling him and runs back the way he came.
Sora went in the main part of town, where he can finally see in the brightness of the streetlights.
Sora: “This is totally weird... I’m in another world!”
Sora walked into the Accessory Shop. A blond man standing behind the counter turns to face him)
???: “Hey there, how can I... Aw, it’s only a kid.”
Sora: “I’m not a kid! And the name’s Sora!”
???: “Okay, okay, simmer down. So why the long face, Sora? You lost or somethin’?”
Sora: “No! Well, maybe. Where are we?”
???: “Huh?”
Sora explained what happened to his world.
Sora: “Traverse Town... So, gramps, is this really another world?”
???: “Don’t call me gramps! The name’s Cid!”
He grits his teeth, nearly breaking the piece of straw in his mouth.
Cid: “Anyway... Not sure what you’re talkin’ about, but this sure ain’t your island.”
Sora: “Hmm... Guess I’d better start looking for Riku and Kairi.”
Cid: “Well, good luck with whatever it is you’re doing. If you ever run into trouble, you come to me.”
Meanwhile in another part of the town, a group of people were standing outside as they look up at the sky. Apparently they also notices that the stars are going out. One of them wasn’t looking up though since he just came out of one of the building holding a shopping bag. The figure seemed to be a machine with a red visor and broad shoulders ending in points.
????: “hey, what everyone looking at? Is their fireworks in the sky?” As he then look up at the sky and saw the stars going out. “What the?!? Stars are going out? But then that means…. Oh dear I need to find Kai or Leon quick.” As he ran down the street before stopping by a alleyway, noticing two children in there, revealing to be Kairi and Riku. “Hey kids, you alright because you don’t look good.”
Meanwhile, Sora leaves the shop and finds the entrance to the Second District. As he enters, a man had stumbled in front of him but before he could help him, he saw his heart float out of him and take the form of a small humanoid shadow wearing armor which then vanished. After that, a group of Shadows appeared and surrounds him.
Sora: “It’s those creatures from the island!”
Sora defeats the creatures and runs inside a nearby Hotel as Donald and Goofy enter the area.
Goofy (looking around): “Doesn’t look like he’s here.”
Donald: “Keep looking!”
After finding no one at the Hotel, Sora returns to town and enters the Gizmo Shop as Donald and Goofy walk out of the Hotel.
Donald: “Hmph. Where is he?”
Goofy (calling): “Oh, leoooon!”
Sora passes through the Gizmo Shop and finds a large ornate door. He enters as Donald and Goofy leave the Gizmo Shop.
Donald: “Not here, either.”
Goofy: “This could take a while...”
Inside the house, Sora finds the Dalmatian couple. Unable to help them, Sora leaves, passing through an alleyway back to the Second District. Finding nothing, he decides to return to the First District. As he enters the double doors, Donald and Goofy exit the Hotel again.
Donald (calling): “leoooon! Mister Leon?”
Goofy (calling): “Where are you?”
Sora battles his way back to the Accessory Shop.
Cid: “Still haven’t found ‘em? Keep your chin up. Take another look around town.”
Sora walks back into town, but…
??????: “They’ll come at you out of nowhere.”
Sora (whirling around): “Who are you?”
??????: “And they’ll keep on coming at you, as long as you continue to wield the Keyblade.”
A tall man enters in a leather outfit, the lion necklace swinging against his chest. He raises a gloved hand and points at the Kingdom Key, his blue eyes gazing at Sora through his long dark hair. There is a large scar above his nose.
??????: “But why? Why would it choose a kid like you?”
Sora: “What’s that supposed to mean?”
??????: “Never mind. Now, let’s see that Keyblade.”
He walks slowly towards Sora, his arm reaching out. Sora takes a defensive stance.
Sora: “What? There’s no way you’re getting this!”
??????: “All right, then have it your way.”
The man takes out his Gunblade, slinging it over his shoulder before holding it firmly in his strong hands. He summons a Fire spell and shoots it at Sora, who dodges and runs toward the man. He gets in a few hits with the Keyblade before taking a large hit from the Gunblade, knocking him backward. He runs further away, but the man leaps over and corners him. He leaps over the wall to the main square and the man shoots another Fire spell at him, which Sora blocks and sends flying back at the man. Sora stops for a second, hearing nothing and runs back over the wall to find the man stunned. He closes in and strikes him so hard that he stumbles backwards before falling on his right knee.
Sora: “now…you’re….gonna….you’re gonna….” Before he fell backwards fainting.
The man stands back up, hearing a voice behind him.
?????: “aw, you’re slipping Leon.”
He turns back to see a smiling young girl with short, black hair, and a woman with shoulder-length hair, with caramel streaks. It was the one with the longer hair, yuffie, who spoke.
Squall: “I went easy on him. Still... It looks like things are worse than we thought. A lot worse.”
Unknown to them, a figure was watching them, he body was designed like a ninja with mask covering his face and his helmet being a orange colour and having a checkerboard pattern. He stand up before opening a portal and entering it.
Meanwhile in another world, a large castle like building surrounded by water with the entrance having rising waterfalls. The entrance to the castle was guarded by dozen of heartless and nobody’s with two large heartless guarding the gates. Their body’s were divided into several pieces — a body, a head, two arms, and two legs — none of which are directly connected to each other. Inside the castle was a large room where two figures were fighting, one was a large brutish figure who had a cannon in his chest and was wielding a large sword in his right hand. On his left shoulder was the heartless emblem while on his right was a rook chess piece emblem. The figure he was fighting was designed more like a samurai with him having a sword in place of his right arm and a blade coming out of his left arm. He had the heartless emblem in the middle of his helmet while he had a knight chess piece emblem in the middle of his chest.
Samurai: “come on tankrook, I thought you weren’t gonna hold back, I’m not.”
Tankrook: “you want my best, bladerage. Then here it comes. Systemic shockwave slash!” As he unleashed a flurry of pink energy wave from his sword knocking bladerage down. “Ha. Once again I prove why I am one of the strongest members of the dark master.”
Watching them both were two more figures. One was designed like a pirate with anchor on his fist and cannon in his shoulder and the heartless emblem his left shoulder and the knight chess piece emblem on the right while the other had waive points coming out of her armour which ended in a red colour points, she had both the heartless emblem and the queen chess piece on her helmet.
Pirate: “arrr, you meant after our leader, tankrook?”
Tankrook: “of course I meant after wiseure, Anchorage. It just slipped my mind that all.” (To the other figure.) “I meant no offence to your husband, pricious.” As he kneeled down.
Pricious: “it is alright Tankrook. I knew what you meant but at least save your power for our enemies.”
????: “what enemies, lady pricious?”
They all turned to see two other figures coming down the nearby stairs. One was designed like the ninja from earlier only his helmet was a green colour instead and had both the heartless and bishop chess piece emblem on it. The other figure was like tankrook only his face was covered by a knight helmet and he had a gatling gun instead of a cannon and the emblems were reversed.
Bishop: “last I checked there was no one who could defeat us since there were no weapons that could truly harms us. Is that not correct guntower?”
Guntower: “udent right. There is no one who could truly harm us. Only delay our assaults by a few minutes until their world is gone.”
????: I’m afraid that no longer true, guntower.” As the group look to where the voice came from revealing it to be wiseure which caused them to bow down in front of him.
Tankrook, guntower, udent, Anchorage and bladerage: “lord wiseure!!!!!!”
Pricious: “darling, are you alright.” As he ran to him.
Wiseure: “I’m afraid not because I just find out something terrible.”
Tankrook: “that if you lick a heartless, they taste like black liquorice but if you lick a nobody, they taste like leather?” Causing everyone to give him strange looks. “Like I’m the only one who wanted to know what they tasted like.”
Wiseure: “no, no. Something more worse then that. I just find not one, not two but three stinking keyblade wielders.”
Everyone: “what!!!! That impossible!!!!”
Wiseure: “I’m afraid so but don’t worry, I sent a darkside to destroy them so that problem gone as quick as it came up.”
????: “I’m afraid not my lord.” As the figure from earlier appeared from the shadows.
Udent: “Sadent, what are you talking about?”
Sadent: “earlier as I was scouting traverse town for weak points, I spotted a young boy wielding a keyblade. It may be the same one as him.”
Wiseure: “if that brat survived then those other brats did, we must deal with them as soon as possible.”
Tankrook: “allow me my lord. It been so long since I had a good fight.”
Wiseure: “very well then but you will not go alone.”
Tankrook: “of course my lord, I shall take a squadron worth of heartless and nobody’s as well as a guard armor for extra muscle.”
Wiseure: “not what I meant but i like where your head at. In order to deal with this new threat, it time to bring in some special help.” As he clap his hand which caused a book to fly to his hand. It was much like a artist sketch book with the heartless emblem on it. “Let see, I’ll go for something simple to test their skills. Something like a spider.” As he drew a humanoid looking spider with four leg coming down from it head and two of it spider leg for arms.
Voice: “Let me explain quickly. Wiseure has a sketchbook called the heartless grimoir which allows him to draw any monster he can think of. He then is able to tear the page out and infuse it with a dark heart to manifest it as a heartless.”
Wiseure: “Ladies and gentlemen, I like to introduce you to spyder of the web.” As the drawing came to life and jumped out of the sketchbook.
Spyder: “the name spyder of the web, how may I serve you today my lord.”
Wiseure made a evil look on his face. “Go to traverse town. Destroy the keyblade welder so that they cannot interfere in our plans. Oh and take this as well, a little something in case of emergency.” As he handed spyder a red bottle filled with a black bubbling liquid.
Back in Traverse Town, Donald and Goofy walk down the Alleyway in the Second District, having no luck in their search. The dim light complements the empty atmosphere.
Goofy: “Gawrsh, there’s nobody here. Sure is spooky!”
Donald: “Aw, phooey. I’m not scared.”
Almost as if Donald was tempting fate, he feels a tap on his shoulder and screams, leaping into the air and hanging onto Goofy’s back, shivering.
??????: “Excuse me. Did the king send you?”
At the mention of the King, Donald stops shaking and the two of them turn to see a young woman with flowing brown hair tied in a bow. She wears a long pink dress and brown boots. She smiles at the two of them. Soon after, Sora is starting to wake up.
????: “Come on, lazy bum. Wake up.”
Sora shakes his head and opens his eyes. He looks up to see Kairi peering down at him on the bed while Riku was at the table. Leon and yuffie were by the door as well.
Sora: “Kairi? Riku? Is it really you.”
Kairi: “of course it is.
Sora sees the Kingdom Key, way to the dawn and destiny embrace leaning against the wall.
Sora: “The Keyblades...”
Yuffie: “Yeah, we had to get it away from you to shake off those creatures. It turns out that’s how they were tracking you.”
Leon: “It was the only way to conceal your heart from them. But it won’t work for long. Still hard to believe that you of all people are the chosen one.”
Leon picks up the Kingdom Key and swings it in the air. It flashes out of his hand and back into Sora’s. Leon walks over to him.
Leon: “Well, I suppose beggars can’t be choosers.”
Sora: “Why don’t you start making sense! What’s going on here?”
Kairi: “yeah, that what I want to know.”
At this point in time, Aerith has led Donald and Goofy to the adjacent red room.
Aerith: “Okay, you know there are many other worlds out there besides your castle and this town, right?”
Donald: “Yeah.”
Aerith: “Well, When the Heartless came, everything changed.”
(With Squall’s group…)
Sora: “The Heartless?”
Yuffie: “The ones who attacked you, remember?”
Leon: “Creatures of pure darkness.”
Yuffie: “The darkness in people’s hearts—that’s what attracts them.”
????????: “And there is darkness within every heart.”
The robotic figure from earlier entered the room, accompanied by a knight-like figure, who had red eye, paladin like clothing with a mostly white colour scheme. The paladin was the robot master.
Leon: “Huh? Who are you?”
????: “The name Kai, a keyblade knight from old times.”
Robot: “and I am S-4R-7-K-9 but you can me sparks for short.”
Kairi: “they found both me and Riku and they brought us here which is when you arrived.”
Sparks: “yeah, I can’t believe what I’m seeing though, a new generation of keyblade welder right before my optics. Isn’t this crazy Kai?”
Kai: “I have to admit it is pretty crazy.” He said with a cool tone.
Yuffie got struck with a thought.
Yuffie: “Hey, have you heard of someone named Ansem?”
(With Donald’s group…)
Goofy: “Ansem?”
Aerith: “Ansem and his apprentice were studying hearts. They recorded all of their findings in a very detailed report.”
Goofy: “Gawrsh, uh, can we see it?”
Aerith: “It’s pages are scattered everywhere.”
Donald: “Scattered?”
Aerith: “To many worlds.”
Goofy: “Oh, then maybe the king went to find ‘em.”
Aerith: “Yes, those were my thoughts exactly.”
Goofy: “We’ve gotta find him quick!”
Donald: “Wait! First, we need that “key”!”
Aerith: “That’s right. The Keyblade.”
(With Leon’s group…)
Riku: “So...these are the key?”
The destiny island trio all held up their keyblades.
Yuffie (nodding): “Exactly!”
Leon: “The Heartless have great fear of the Keyblade.”
Kai: “That’s why they’ll keep coming after you no matter what.”
Sora: “Well, we didn’t ask for this.”
Sparks: “It was bound for you lot to get your Keyblades, sooner or later. Keyblades are forged by those with strong hearts.”
Kai was silent, but his thought were drifting over one detail: Sora couldn’t have forge the Kingdom Key, for it was one of the two most ancient Keyblades. Rather, the Kingdom Key chooses it’s master.
Sora: “How did all this happen? I remember being in my room...”
However, he had a quick realization.
Sora: “Wait a minute! What happened to my home? My island?”
Riku: “that right, what happened to the island? Our home?”
Kai: “I’m afraid that I don’t know what happened to it. Nobody knows what happened when a world is lost to the darkness.”
Yuffie: “Hey, cheer up! I’ve heard that the Keyblade can open all sorts of locks. Give it a try the next time you find a treasure chest or door lock!”
Kai: “Sooner or later, the Heartless will find you. You all best prepare yourself.”
Sora: “Prepare ourself?”
Leon: “To fight for your life. Are you ready?”
Sora: “I’m ready!”
Leon: “Yuffie, let’s go join Aerith. She should be there now with the other visitors.”
However, much to their shock, a small group of Soldier Heartless appears, clattering awkwardly. Squall runs forward.
Leon: “Yuffie, go!”
Yuffie runs into the Red Room, squashing Donald behind it with a squawk when sparks following her.
Aerith: “Yuffie?”
She runs after Yuffie as Leon takes out his Gunblade, the trio brought out their keyblades and Kai summoned his keyblade which had a sword like appearance and a gold-red colour scheme. This was Kai keyblade, hero of our time. It was then that some nobody’s that was designed like medieval knights appeared.
Leon: “Sora, let’s go!”
Leon slams the Heartless through the window of the room and it flies over the balcony and down to the Alleyway below. Squall and Riku ran after it, Sora, Kairi and Kai following. The Red Room door closes and Goofy stares at Donald flattened against the wall. Down in the Alleyway, more Heartless and nobody’s have appeared around them.
Leon: “don’t mess with the small fry, we need to find the leader! Let’s go!”
Leon and Kai run down the alleyway towards the door to the main district.
Sora, Kairi and Riku fights through the Heartless as they makes their way to the Third District, being separated from Leon and Kai. They run down the stairs into the square as Goofy watches from a high balcony. Goofy turns around as Heartless appear around him and Donald. He takes out his shield.
Goofy: “Gawrsh, are these the Heartless guys?”
Donald swings his wand in front of him.
Donald: “Let’s go get ‘em, Goofy!”
With a loud crash, the two of them are blasted off the balcony. Sora, Kairi and Riku turn, hearing the commotion, and tries to run as Donald and Goofy fall on top of them. Stars appear around their heads before they see the Kingdom Key.
Donald & Goofy: “The key!”
They smile as the destiny island trio winces. The District starts to rumble and they look around, still in a pile on the ground. Large blocks appear from the ground and cover the exits. It was then that Kai appeared walking up the ledge but was stopped by a barrier before dodging a large sword.
Tankrook: “Well, well, well look who it is. The pain in our backside Kai. It been a while.” He said lugging his heavy sword over his back.
Kai: “Tankrook? If wiseure sent you then he must really be afraid of them.” He said smugly.
Tankrook: “They won’t be around for long.” As he turns to the square. “Spyder! Take out those brats!” He yelled as spyder of the web jumped down from roof with a group of soldiers heartless and knight nobody. Spyder appearance caused sora and the other to be freak out by him especially Kairi.
Kairi: “Why did it have to be a spider?” She said under her breath.
The heartless and nobody’s attack the group. They managed to beat the soldiers heartless and knight nobody easily but Spyder was tougher since he was made from wiseure grimoire. It was then that Kai toss sora something.
Kai: “sora, catch.” As sora caught the device which was shape like a gear. “That a drive core, the keyblade knight used them-whoa watch the hair. They used the gear to power up their attack against stronger heartless and nobody’s. Use it quickly, now where were we, tankrook.” As he rushed towards and swung his keyblade.
Sora: “alright, let see how do I use it?” As he place the gear on the keyblade causing it to glow. He turned the core and it emitted light as it spoke.
Core: “unlock! Unlock! Unlock final strike!” When a energy wave came out of the core and stunned spyder as his keyblade charges up and unleash a energy slash that goes right through spyder.
Spyder: “look like this spider is all washed out!” As he falls face first and explodes.
Kai: “look like your spyder got his webs handed to him.”
Tankrook: “you honestly didn’t think that was the only heartless monster I had brought with me.” As he then whistle.
They then hear a clattering sound from above. Sora looks up to see huge pieces of armor falling from the sky. They hit the ground and bounce into the air, spinning wildly. The arms of the Guard Armor form around the torso, which is emblazoned with a red and black symbol. Once the legs attach, the Heartless lands on the ground loudly. It stands there for a moment before the helmet slams down onto the torso with a bright flash.
Tankrook: “Guard armor! Finished those brats off.” As he swings his sword at Kai causing him to be knocked back.
Sora wasn’t afraid of it as he twisted the core once more and…. Nothing happened.
Sora: “hey what going on? It worked well then.”
Kai: “the drive core uses a lot of power and can only be used once, after that they need to recharge for a bit.” Which caused the destiny island trio to fall in a anime style.
Riku: “you couldn’t mention that earlier!”
The Guard Armor spinned its head and arms before walking toward the group. Sora and Riku attacks its arms, but it hardly recoils in its pursuit of him. Kairi, Donald and Goofy do their best to strike the tough armor. It begins spinning its arms wildly around its body. Donald is caught in the twister and is knocked out. Sora strikes at one of the arms and the Guard Armor stomps the ground in anger. It jumps into the air and its pieces clatter to the ground heavily. Sora strikes an arm off while Goofy heals Donald and they tag-team against its thunderous legs. With the appendages destroyed, the torso is left defenseless and it falls to the ground. Sora, Kairi, Riku, Donald, and Goofy approach and it begins spinning out of control, knocking them back. Once they find their footing again, Sora gives the armor a final strike and it starts to explode from the inside, shaking the area around it. Its head wobbles and falls to the ground with a mighty ring. After an explosion of darkness, the Guard Armor disappears.
Kai then strike tankrook so hard that falls down the stairs then as he tries to gain his footing, he notices the kingdom key pointed right at him.
Tankrook: “grrrr, this ain’t over. Not by a long shot, we got dozen of world to darken.” As he teleported away. It was then that spyder reappear covering his chest with one of his arms.
Spyder: “lord tankrook, wait! It doesn’t matter. We beings of darkness have a saying when we close to death: we will have our final roar! Darkness extract!” As he pulls out the bottle that wiseure had given him and begins to drink it. “It working, it working!” As the heartless body begins to grow.
Voice: “darkness extract is a liquid collected from the realm of darkness and by drinking it, heartless and nobody’s can become giants but it risky as it can cause a being of darkness to lose control in rare cases.”
Spyder: “the itty bitty spyder just got a whole lot bigger, gahahahah!”
Kairi: “aaaahhhhhhh! He just went from one size to another just by drinking what was in that bottle?!?”
Sparks: “it must be liquid darkness. When used on people, it causes them to be infected with dark energy but when used on a being made of darkness, it turns them into a giant! We doomed!”
Kai: “no we’re not. The keyblade knights always had something else up their sleeve In case of something like this. Thought I left my one back at the hotel. I do have a blank one that you can use though.” As he handed sora blank white core. When sora held it, it suddenly glowed and became a gear with two emblem. One of was sora keychain and the other was what appeared to be a Tyrannosaurus rex. “Use it like the drive core but this time, the results will be very snappy.”
Sora: “alright let hope this goes well.” As he used the core with the keyblade.
Core: “unlock! Unlock! Unlock! Unlock greattyranno!” As a large circle appeared around sora. It was then a loud roar was heard that shocked the ground, which actually caused a crack in the earth releasing a large red mechanical beast resembling a T-Rex.
Riku: “what the? First a giant spider monster, now a giant robotic T-Rex!”
Kai: “don’t worry. He won’t harm us. He a buddyroid. The crystal I gave you is a special crystal that reacts to keyblade wielders only. It called dream ore and it can make powerful being that will fight the giant heartless.” Which is displayed by tyranno ramming into spyder knocking him on his back. Spyder get back up and launch’s some web to try and ensnared the giant but tyranno uses his tail to cut the webs.
Spyder: “grrrr, impossible! I won’t lose to that thing. I’ll catch you in my web and destroy you.”
However, tyranno once again rammed into Spyder only this time he used Spyder as a springboard and jumped up high then he used his tail and pierced the monster, finishing him off. Spyder cries out in pain as he falls backwards and explodes into dust.
Sora: “no way this is a dream. It too awesome to be imagined.” However the large T-Rex turned to the group, causing them to be a bit unsettled.
Sparks: “hey! What are you waiting for? The bad guy done. Change into your basic form.”
The giant didn’t understand for a moment but then a light appeared as the T-Rex had gotten smaller, reaching around the destiny island trio size. It then began to transform into a humanoid like being with yellow eyes and a face plate, the word jurren was embedded on it left shoulder in bold letters.
???: “I didn’t know I could do that. Or that I can speak. I don’t know my own name though. I don’t know anything except that when I saw that giant heartless, I had to fight it.”
Sparks: “that would your programming. All buddyroids are born to assist their chosen in fighting against the darkness. As for your name, it should be embedded on your body.” As he looks around his body and notices the words on his shoulder. “Jurren. That your name and it sounds like Jurassic which suits your giant form.”
Kairi: “how do you know so much about him?”
Sparks: “well it actually because….” He then twirls and does a pose. “I’m a buddyroid myself.”
Later, Leon and Yuffie join the group.
Sora: “So, you were looking for us?”
Donald & Goofy (nodding): “Uh-huh!”
Leon (arms crossed): “They, too, have been seeking the wielder of the Keyblade.”
Yuffie nod.
Goofy: “Hey, why don’t you come with us? We can go to other worlds on our vessel.”
Sora: “I wonder if we can find our home…”
(Kairi, Riku and Leon close their eyes, understanding what Sora is feeling)
Donald: “Of course.”
Goofy (to Donald): “Are you sure?”
Donald (to Goofy): “Who knows? But we need him to come with us to help us find the king.”
Leon steps forward.
Leon: “Sora, go with them. Especially if you want to find your friends.”
Sora (halfheartedly): “Yeah, I guess.”
Donald: “But you can’t come along looking like that. Understand? No frowning. No sad face. Okay?”
Goofy (interjecting): “Yeah, ya gotta look funny, like us!”
Donald: “This boat runs on happy faces.”
Sora: “Happy?”
Donald and Goofy smile. Sora bends down and reveals a huge cheesy grin. Getting no response from them, he stops awkwardly. The group then burst out laughing.
Goofy (pointing): “That’s one funny face!”
Kairi (laughing): “sora funny face always being smiles to people faces.”
Sora (standing up): “Okay, why not? We’ll go with you guys.”
Donald (holding out a hand): “Donald Duck.”
Goofy (doing the same): “Name’s Goofy.”
Sora (doing the same): “I’m Sora.”
Kairi (doing the same): “mine Kairi.”
Riku (doing the same): “and I’m Riku.”
Goofy: “All for one, one for all.”
They place their hands together. Meanwhile, back at the castle, the dark master were gazing at the group on a round table.
Bladerage: “That little squirt took down that Heartless! Who’d have thought it?”
Udent: “Such is the power of the Keyblade. The child’s strength is not his own.”
Pricious: “Then why don’t we make him succumb to his darkness? (She laughs loudly) That’ll settle things quick enough.”
Anchorage: “Yaaarrr, And the brat’s friends are the king’s lackeys. Swoggle me eyes, they’re all bilge rats by the look of them.”
Sadent: “You’re not exactly a prize yourself, anchorage.”
Anchorage: “Oh, shut up!” As he swing his anchor fist a him.
Wiseure: “That enough.” Which caused the group to turn to him. ““The Keyblade has chosen them. Will they be the one who conquers the darkness? Or will the darkness swallow them? Either way, it time to bring in some help. Air soldiers, fall in.” As a swarm of wing soldiers heartless flew in. “Send a message to the villains of the outlying worlds. Tell them that it time for darkness to finally win after all these years.” As the air soldiers flew out of the castle to the other worlds.
Later, in the First District of Traverse Town, The destiny island trio were talking to Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith.
Leon: “Make sure you’re prepared for the journey ahead of you. We don’t know how far the Darkness has spread.”
Yuffie: “Check out the shops here. They’ve got some pretty neat stuff!”
Aerith: “This is from all of us. (She hands them 500 munny) Spend it as you see fit. And this is from Leon.” (She hands Sora an Elixir)
Yuffie: “Good luck!”
Aerith: “I hope you find your home.”
Leon: “Look out for each other. Keep your spirits up.”
Sora, Kairi and Riku then talks to Donald and Goofy.
Donald: “The gummi ship is outside that gate.”
Sora: “The what?”
Donald: “That’s our ship.”
Goofy: “Wait ‘til you see it!”
Donald: “Hold on. Sora, this is for you. (Donald gives him the Fire spell) Now you can use magic, too.”
It was then that Kai and sparks joined up with them.
Kai: “you won’t be going alone. Me and sparks are coming too.”
Sora: “huh? Why that.”
Kai: “your gonna need some to train you how to use that keyblade and sparks convince me to train you since I am technically a master.”
Sparks: “I can be very convincing at times.”
Sora: “Okay, is that it? Let’s get going!”
Donald: “Not ‘til we’re ready!”
Jiminy (to himself): “Well, I see big adventures coming their way! Looks like it’s up to me to keep track of it all in my journal!”
While gathering supplies around town, Kai was talking to Leon at the cafe.
Leon: “there another reason why your going with them isn’t there?”
Kai: “there is but I can’t let sora know. The least they know, the less they have to worry about.”
Leon: “it about your family isn’t it? And what happened to your wife.”
Leon then noticed Kai was holding tightly to a necklace of his own but it was hard to tell what it was. However they were overheard by jurren, who was curious about what they meant.
Once they are ready, Sora, jurren, Kairi, Riku, Donald, Goofy, Kai and sparks board the Gummi Ship.
Kairi: “wow, never once in my life did I think I could be on a ship like this.”
Riku: “what is it able to do?”
Donald: “We travel to different worlds on the gummi ship.”
Goofy: “The Heartless ships often give us a hard time.”
Donald: “Always be on the lookout during flight.”
Goofy: “Your journey will be documented until you reach your destination.”
Donald: “Seek out the missions each world has to offer!”
Kai: “and save the world from the clutches of the darkness. That is our motto. Let it be known throughout the worlds.”
And the ship left Traverse Town, seeking to save worlds from darkness.
