Ext. East High - Front Yard
Sarox, Marlene, Max, PJ, along with Troy, Sharpay, Ryan, Chad, Taylor, Kelsi, Zeke, Jason and Martha, all stand at the front yard of East High - their high school. Most of them seem frightened and so scared that they want to run away, however some of them have their hearts filled with courage.
Troy: Do we know exactly where she is?
Max: All you have to do is listen to your heart, and it will lead you right to her.
Marlene: Be careful, this place is full of Heartless.
Sarox: Don't let them separate us. They are easier to defeat when we're more than one.
Zeke: Hopefully those things will be a minimum.
Troy raises his weapon like the courage has just washed over him. Chad approaches to his right side and smiles, encouraging him.
Sarox: You ready?
He nods. And then they make their way into the dark and dangerous school. Kelsi, Taylor, Sharpay, Zeke, Jason, Ryan and Martha are pretty frightened, but they follow the warriors, as if they were shields.
Int. East High - Corridor
The warriors make their way through the hallway fearlessly.
Troy: Hey, Sarox. Can I ask you something?
Sarox: Sure. What is it?
Troy: What were those things that attacked us and why were they after Gabriella? (Raises his Keyblade) And what's with this Keyblade thing?
Sarox: Those "things" are called "the Heartless"; they are beings without hearts or consumed by the darkness in their hearts. And they went after Gabriella because they think she is a Princess of Heart.
Chad: A what?
Marlene: A Princess of Heart, like me: A special girl with the power to open some kind of a final door. There are seven of them.
PJ: And now we're traveling throughout the worlds to find them all so that we can protect them from whoever's behind all this mayhem.
Sharpay: And Gabriella's one of them?
Sarox: M-hm.
Max: And at the same time, we're looking for Keyblade Masters whose power is still asleep to help them tap into their powers so they can protect their worlds, and hopefully we can gather enough strength to banish this approaching darkness for good. (Points to Troy's Keyblade)
Chad: (looking at the same direction) And Troy is the one?
Max: You got it.
The conversation is interrupted by the sudden appearance of a bunch of Heartless. Sarox, Marlene, Max, PJ and Troy raise their weapons while the others scream in panic. Troy's courage is overwhelming, but he is having trouble handling his weapon.
Max: Let's get 'em!
Sarox: Troy, stay and guard the others. (Turns to the Heartless) Thunder!
Marlene: Blizzard!
PJ: Fire!
The four of them strike at the Heartless with their penetrating attacks while Troy stands guarding his friends, who are terrified as if they are facing vampires.
PJ: They're coming. I can feel them. We have to find Gabriella fast. Marlene, can you sense where she is?
Marlene: Yes, she is in the school theater. But something is there hurting her heart. We have to hurry.
Troy hears this and runs down the hall, abandoning the rest of his team.
Sarox: Troy, wait!
Troy ignores Sarox' call and disappears in a turn-right.
Chad: Troy!
Sarox sighs. Max and PJ throw the Heartless into the cafeteria.
PJ: We'll distract them! Make your way to Troy and Gabriella!
With that, PJ and Max storm into the cafeteria and disappear from the scene.
Sarox: (takes charge) OK, guys. Troy and Gabriella need us. So I'm gonna follow him. Now, who's with me?
Taylor and Chad answer immediately.
Chad: I'm coming!
Taylor: So am I!
Chad, Taylor and Marlene step to his side and Marlene gives him a smile. He looks back at the rest of the team, who start to show smiles on their faces.
Kelsi: (facing her fears, but still smiling) We have come this far, we're not gonna go back now!
Zeke: (courageously replies) That's right. Troy and Gabriella are our friends.
One by one, they run to Marlene and Sarox' side without a glimpse of fear or will to turn back. After Ryan joins them, Sharpay is the only one left. Everyone stares at her in question. She seems pretty scared. Then she breathes deep and blows away her fears, and replies courageously.
Sharpay: Alright! Let's go and show them what we're made of!
Everyone: (loudly) YEAH!!
Sarox: Let's go then, Wildcats!!
With everyone's strengths gathered, they make their way through the halls with incomparable courage.
Int. East High - Theater Stage
Troy enters the theater and finds an army of Heartless. In the debris of the dark army, he finally sees an unconscious Gabriella in the center of the creatures.
Troy: Gabriella!
The Heartless turn to the direction the voice came from and make haste as soon as they see him at the entrance. Troy stands on guard. As two Heartless attempt to jump on him, he swings his Keyblade like a dust cleaner and sweeps them away, destroying them.
The others enter and find Troy surrounded by the Heartless in the middle of the theater but at the same time doing an incredible job at fighting them.
Chad: (impressed) He sure is learning quickly.
Sarox: Come on, let's help him out! Marlene, give it to them now!
Marlene nods, raises her Keyblade up in the air and concentrates. Sparks appear from the tip of her weapon and fly to the others. As the sparks dive into their bodies, they begin to glow in bright lights. When the lights disappear, they turn to each other and smile in confidence and point their hands at the approaching Heartless.
All: FIRE!!
Flames shoot out of their hands and hit the Heartless that surround Troy and are later swallowed by the dark energy that vaporizes them.
Chad: Wow! Nice! I think I like it!
Sarox: Thank goodness you remembered how to temporarily bestow magic to other people.
Marlene: Yeah, but it's not gonna last long, so we have to hurry and get rid of the Heartless before the magic runs out.
Ryan Let's take them out then, eh, guys?
The rest of the team YEAH!!
With that, they all rush to Troy's side.
Sarox: Hey!
Troy: Gabriella's over there! Let's go!
Everyone fights with their spells. They are almost said at the same time.
Kelsi: (panics) Blizzard!
Zeke: Stop!
Taylor: Reflect!
Jason: Thunder!
Martha: (panics) Aero!
Ryan: Fire!
Sharpay: (scared) Uh, Magnet!
Chad: Gravity!
Marlene: Blizzard!
Troy: Thunder!
Sarox: Fire!
Max: (off-screen) Hey, spare some for us!
PJ: Thunder!
