Missing: Kairi, King Mickey
Before his very eyes, Kairi had disappeared. Right there on the beach. Taken... and he was helpless to stop it. Goofy had tried cheering him up. "Ahuck! There wasn't nothin' you could do, Sora!" But it didn't help ease his mind at all. Even Donald was doing his best. "Donchu wowwy abowt it Sowa! We'll fwind wher!"
"Mickey is missing too." Riku said, approaching them. "I'm guessing that they were both taken by the same person."
"Well golly, that could be it!" Goofy said cheerfully. "If that's the case, Ahuck, then we should be able to find them both!"
"Can you describe the one who took Kairi?" Riku asked. Sora nodded.
"He had... white hair!" Sora said, remembering back to what he had seen take place.
"andshe wash weawing a wedshawacket!" Donald added.
"Hmm.. a red Jacket?" Riku asked. "That doesn't sound like Organization XIII then..."
Sora shook his head. "No. I don't think it was."
"Gawrsh! Who do you think it could be then?" Goofy asked.
"I know!" said Hitomi, who had just appeared behind them.
"Who are you?" Riku asked. "I've never seen you around here before."
Hitomi shook her head. "I'm not from around here. I'm from another world! And I'm here to tell you where you can find King Mickey and Kairi!"
"Oh?" Sora asked. "We'd be grateful."
"They're both atop a tower called Tartarus in another world. I can take you there through this portal." she explained.
"Weww, what awe we waitinwg fowr?" Donald asked, very excited. "Wets go shave wing wickey!"
"And Kairi!" Goofy said.
"Weah, Weah, hew twoo!"
"So who'll be saving King Mickey?"
"I wiww!" Donald shouted. But Riku stepped in front of him.
"No, that'd be me. That's my job. You three focus on saving Kairi."
"Wut Wiku!" Donald protested. But it didn't seem to do any good. Riku was set on being the one to save Mickey. Not for glory. But because he felt that he could trust the other three to save Kairi. That's how it had to be. Besides.. he felt that Sora could use all the help that he could get.
"Let's go then!" Hitomi said, and with that, the four walked into the portal, for destinations unknown.
