"Sora! Riku!" Kairi pointed towards the windows of the hall, where Heartless were pouring over the edges like water and forming a massive tide that rushed up the ramps towards them.
"There's gonna be no end to this." Riku complained.
"Together we can stop 'em!" Sora insisted.
"Form up!" Ignus called.
In a flash of light, Maleficent and Pete appeared in front of them. "Be gone from here! Leave these creatures to us!" She commanded.
"But there's no way we can take 'em all!" Pete complained.
"I will be sending them after Xemnas." Maleficent indicated the boys. "Or, perhaps you would rather fight them yourself?"
Pete thought for a second. "Frankly my dear, I'd rather run!"
"Off with you then!" Maleficent declared.
Pete backed away, finding himself facing Ignus as he turned. "Well, if it ain't the king's favorite pet!"
"If you're planning to run away, I'd suggest you stop wasting time." Ignus said dryly.
"What, like abandon ship? I don't think so!"
"Sora. Advisor. Do not forget…" Maleficent said over her shoulder. "When I've destroyed them all, this castle shall be mine!"
"Now lookie here. Opportunities like this don't come along every day, ya know." Pete said to Ignus. He ran over to join Maleficent. "Bring 'em on!"
"Well, he always wanted to be a hero." Ignus shook his head. "We need to hurry."
"But…" Sora protested.
"They're going to follow their hearts. We need to let them, and follow ours. Let's get moving."
