Underdog flew Sora and Kairi back to Kairi's balcony. Kairi smiled at Sora. "Goodnight, my handsome Prince."
"Sleep well, Princess." Sora responded. The two got closer to each other. Underdog caught Sora off guard by sending him closer to her, and the two kissed passionately.
Kairi soon left, sparing one last loving glance at Sora. Sora had a huge grin on his face. "Yes!" He cheered as he fell on underdog. Ryan saw Sora come down. "Hey Sora, how'd it go?" Sora was silent. "I'm guessing by your grin it was fine?" He guessed.
"Yeah… and for the first time in our life, things are starting to go right." Sora said, gazing at the stars.
Suddenly his gaze was blocked by hands grabbing him, taking him by surprise. He gasped as they caught him and gagged his mouth. Jorgen and his guards trapped Reepicheep inside a net. While Underdog was being held down by Jorgen's powerful magic. Ryan, who normally would have fought them off the spot, shouted in disbelief: "CRUD! They HAD to catch us at night! Morning, I would stick my sneakers up their-!" Ryan was interrupted by the gag sent around his mouth too.
Darkrai, with Chatot on his shoulder, appeared in front of Sora. "I'm afraid you've warn out your welcome Prince Heartless." He said sinisterly. Sora glared at him. "Why you-!" He shouted, muffled by his gag.
Darkrai already walked away. "Make sure he's never found." He ordered. Sora and Ryan tried running, but one hit on the head from Jorgen's wand was enough to knock them both out. The two were sent falling into an ocean, left to drown.
The two came to as soon as they hit the water. Darkrai should have scheduled us to drown at day time.. Ryan thought, trying unsuccessfully to fly out. Sora noticed the Pokeball mere inches from where he was. The ball! He thought hopefully. He tried his best to swim, but the weight that was attached to him slowed things down. Sora ran out of air, and slipped effortlessly out of consciousness.
Lucky for him, his hands touched the Pokeball, summoning Baloo. When he came out, he was holding a stereo playing the bare necessities. He looked upset. "It never fails, you jam to a beat, then a rub at the ball." He complained. He turned around and saw an unconscious Sora and Ryan. He gasped.
"Sora! Ryan! Snap out of it!" The two didn't respond. Baloo turned to Sora. "I can't cheat on this one, I won't be able to help you unless you make a wish! I want you to say 'Baloo, I wish you would save our lives.' Got it? Okay. Come on, Sora!" He shook Sora's body, making it look like he was nodding.
"I'll take that as a yes." He suddenly made a loud siren sound with his mouth, and turned into a giant submarine. "Top scope!" He shouted, then said a bunch of things in German as he took Sora and Ryan back up to the surface. The two instantly coughed and breathed sweet air back into their lungs.
"Don't scare me like that, guys!" Baloo said. Sora smiled. "Baloo, I…uh…" Baloo just grinned back at them and hugged the too. "Thanks, Baloo." Ryan thanked. "Well, I'm getting kind of fond of you kids… Not that I wanna pick out curtains." Baloo responded as he flew them back to the Palace.

Kairi was happily humming and thinking about the wonderful night she spent with Prince Aros. Ansem appeared at her door. "Kairi." He said.
Kairi came near him. "Oh, daddy I had the most wonderful time. I'm so happy." Kairi said happily. Ansem didn't seem to listen to her. "Kairi, I've chosen a great husband for you." Kairi looked confused. "What?"
"You will wed Darkrai." Ansem gestured to Darkrai, who just appeared inside her door. She gasped in shock. "You're speechless. I like that in my wife." Darkrai smirked.
Kairi glared at him. "I will never marry you." She promised. "Daddy, I chose Prince Aros!" She told her father. "Prince Aros left." Darkrai lied. "You better check your future sight attack, Darkrai." Sora, who suddenly appeared at the doorway, said angrily. Ryan was right next to him.
"Prince Aros!" Kairi cheered gleefully. Darkrai gasped. "How the-?!" Chatot accidentally blurted out, before realizing what he just said. "Squawk!" He recovered. "Hey Darkrai, why don't you tell Kairi and Ansem that you tried to kill us!" Ryan demanded.
Darkrai looked uneasy. "Don't believe them, Your Highness. They're obviously lying." Darkrai's eyes glowed in front of Ansem's face again. Sora took notice of it. He whispered something to Ryan urgently. Ryan nodded and took something out of his pocket.
"Obviously…lying." Ansem repeated. Kairi looked at her dad in disbelief. "Daddy, what's wrong with you?!" She asked. "I know what's wrong!" Sora shouted. The thing Ryan took out of his pocket looked somewhat like a crescent shaped moon. Ryan held it in front of Darkrai, weakening his power and breaking Ansem free of his trance. Ryan looked at Sora smugly. "And you said this charm was a waste of munny." He said. Sora rolled his eyes.
"Wh-what happened?!" Ansem asked as soon as he was free. "Darkrai was controlling you with hypnosis." Sora explained. Ansem looked at Darkrai in disbelief. "What? Guards, get him!" He commanded. "Now Ansem, I'm pretty sure there's a logical explanation." Darkrai tried to lie. Sora, Kairi, Ryan, and Ansem continued backing him to the door. Now that they knew who the villain was, Chatot had no reason to pretend to be mindless.
"That does it. We're dead. It's over. Just dig a grave for both of us, we're dead!" He gave in. Darkrai suddenly looked at Sora's pocket and found the Pokeball. He nearly grabbed it, until the guards grabbed him and took him away. His hands started glowing.
"This is not done yet, boy!" He shouted. He released his power with a smokescreen attack. Everyone was coughing and gasping for breath. "Search for him everywhere!" Ansem demanded. Sora came up to Kairi. "Kairi, are you okay?" "I am now." Kairi responded. Ryan took out another camera. "Finally, I can see it!" Sora and Kairi's moment was interrupted as Ansem cut through them. "Ah, come on!" Ryan complained.
"I can't believe it! My most trusted Vizier betrayed me! How will I-?" He noticed Kairi and Sora holding onto each other. "Could it be? My daughter has finally chosen a husband! Praise Kingdom Hearts!" He shouted with glee.
He grabbed Sora's face. "Oh, I could kiss you!... Uh but not really, I'll leave that to Kairi." He chuckled. "My boy, you shall be crowned King!" Ansem declared.
"King?" Sora repeated, getting a guilty look on his face. "Yes, an impressive youth like yourself whose naive yet has an uncommon sense of justice who cares about everyone, is just what this Kingdom needs!"

Chatot was packing things inside their secret lair. "We gotta get out of here! We gotta pack our things and leave this place! But um, how about this picture! I'm making a funny face in here, is it-?" For some very strange reason, Darkrai was cackling madly.
"Oh boy, he's gone nuts." Chatot sighed. "Darkrai? Darkrai?! Get a grip man!" Darkrai suddenly gripped Chatot's windpipes. "Good grip…"
"Prince Aros is nothing more than that worthless street rat Sora! And his assistant Ryan is his partner! He has the Pokeball, Chatot." Darkrai found out. Chatot looked angry. "Why that little-!" Darkrai choked him again. "You are going to relieve him of it!" He ordered. Chatot looked at him in disbelief.
"Me?!"
