Chapter 20

Everyone was now inside the Gummi Ship, waiting to see what going to happen next. After receiving new clothes, Sora changed into his new outfit. He wore a black jacket with grey pockets and a stripe of the same color on each sleeve. The hood, sleeves and jacket have a red lining, and six buttons can be seen on the front. Underneath, Sora wears a black shirt with a V-neck style collar and a white lining. His gloves are replaced with gauntlets with a similar color scheme to his jacket. The gauntlets have red linings and grey circles on the backs, with yellow buckled straps wrapped around Sora's wrists. The palms of his hands are exposed and his shorts are black.

"Okay, where to?", asked Donald.

Sora thought for a moment. "Ummmmmm…"

"Oh, come on. Would you get serious?", said an annoyed Donald.

"Gimme a break, okay? I told you. These things take time.", Sora responded.

"Gawrsh, is it just me, or is this turning into a routine?", question Goofy.

"Please don't do this, we already have enough routines as it is.", said Lucy inside the card.

Suddenly, they all heard music coming from inside the ship.

"Huh? What?", question Sora.

"Who's playing music?", asked Gray.

"I don't know.", Sora answered.

They all look around to find the source of the music, but to no avail.

Jiminy held his hand against hi ear and said, "It's comin' from you, Sora!"

Sora reached into his back pocket and pull out a device that was making the music. Its sides were red and gold and the bottom had the King's symbol. At the center, it showed what looks like a phone ringing with green and red commands.

"What's this?", question Sora.

"Got me! Make it stop.", said an annoyed Donald.

"But, I don't know how. Maybe...this.", said Sora as he press the green command.

The center of the device change, now it showing an image of Dale with the red command beneath it.

"Hurray! He picked up.", Dale said from the device.

"Huh? Dale?", question a surprised Sora.

"What's going on?", asked Erza.

"I don't know. We somehow have contact with Dale.", Sora explain.

"The one Yen Sid mention?", asked Lucy.

"Yeah.", answered Goofy.

"Hey, Chipper, I finally got him! Hurry up, Chip!", said Dale.

Chip suddenly appeared on the device and said, "Well! It's about time."

"Chip?", wondered Sora.

"Ya gotta answer the phone, Sora, or we can't give ya updates.", said Chip.

"We got lots and lots of important stuff we to tell ya!", said Dale.

"That's why we asked Master Yen Sid to make sure you got this Gummiphone we made ya. So we'd be able to stay in touch with you at all times.", Chip explain.

"And it takes pictures.", Dale added.

Jiminy jumped onto Sora's shoulder and said, "Oh! You finally finished it. Say, with this Gummiphone, we can talk to each other across worlds. In fact, I might even try writing my journal on it."

"Wow! Sounds like it's pretty handy, guys.", said Sora.

"It's just like the Miniature Communication Lacrima we use in Earth Land.", said Lucy.

"So, what's so important?", asked Sora.

Chip answered. "This! Back when you and Riku quested through the Sleeping Worlds, Riku recovered some secret research data that Ansem the Wise hid inside you."

"Ansem's Code!", said Dale

"Who is Ansem the Wise?", asked Happy.

"He is the Sage King of Radiant Garden. Xehanort took his name and research and banished him into the Realm of Darkness. He managed to escape, but he was sent back there when he helped us defeat Xemnas.", Goofy explain.

"And what's this about a Sleeping World?", asked Gajeel.

"It were the worlds who have fell into darkness have not awaken from their slumber. It filled with Dream Eaters. There are two types: Nightmare, which consumes good dreams, and Spirits, which consume bad dreams.", said Sora.

Chip continued. "Anyway. We've been workin' our tails off tryin' to crack it and see what it says."

Suddenly, the screen on the phone change, now showing a young man in a lab coat with blue straight cover his right eye.

"The data has been encrypted, so we've only deciphered some of it.", said the young man.

"Huh?", everyone on the Gummi Ship said.

The young man realize what's going on and said, "Oh… I guess we haven't spoken since the castle. I'm Ienzo. Aeleus is here too."

Ienzo faced Aeleus and said, "Aeleus, whatever's between you and Roxas, it's in the past." He then sighed, seeing Aeleus leaving the room.

"Also, there are people here claiming to be mages from another world called Earth Land."

"Sora, let me face Ienzo.", said Lucy.

Sora put Lucy's card in front of the phone. She then spoke, "Hi. My name is Lucy Heartfilia, is there a mage there we can speak to as well?"

"Yes, let me get them.", Ienzo answered as he left to go retrieve the mages.

He then came back and said, "Here they are."

"Hi there, Lu-chan!", said Levy.

"Levy-chan! How goes it?", asked a happy Lucy.

"Everything's great! Radiant Garden is really beautiful and there is a tone of information here that I can read!"

"Who else is there?", asked Erza.

"The rest of Shadow Gear are here to help with the research, along with the Raijin Tribe. Mermaid Heel is here to help Aeleus and Dilian with the security in Radiant Garden."

"That's good.", said Gray.

Ienzo interrupted their conversation. "Anyway. Sora, the reason we're here is because you and your friends defeated our Nobodies, thereby 'recompleting' us. We cast off our hearts by choice, make no mistake, but we didn't know that Xemnas-or rather, Xehanort-was deceiving us."

Sora jumped. "Huh? Xemnas?"

Goofy gave an angry expression. "Aw, he's with them!"

"We should head over there and check things out.", said Gajeel

Levy came in and said, "Calm down! He with us and he offered to help decoding Ansem's data."

"She's right. Xemnas and Xehanort have no hold over us now. We're just students of the heart, exactly the same as we were before all of this began."

"Yeah, right.", said Donald looking like he doesn't believe him.

"Hold on.", said Natsu. "Is this true?"

"Yes.", answered Ienzo.

"Okay, good. It's weird, your voice reminds me of someone I once knew. Don't worry about, though.", said Natsu.

"Ok?"

Goofy thought for a moment and then said, "But ya know, now that I think about it, Axel's on our side now."

Donald still had trouble believing in Ienzo, despite Goofy's case about Axel.

"We have friends we want to bring back into this world, just the same as you. To do that, we need to work together. In that spirit, Sora...we found some intriguing data in the bit of code we deciphered.", said Ienzo.

"Is it about me?", asked Sora.

"Yes. In order to piece your memories back together, our teacher, Ansem the Wise, took a close look at your heart. And what he found...is that your heart doesn't belong just to you."

"It doesn't?", said Donald and Goofy.

"How is that possible?", question Erza.

Goofy look at Sora. "Gawrsh, you don't seem surprised."

"Yeah. Honestly, I suspected as much. There's another heart inside mine. I think it's Roxas's.", said Sora. Just like Namine is still inside Kairi's

"Who's Roxas?", asked Charle.

"He is Sora's Nobody. He was created when Sora became a Heartless to save Kairi. Roxas was the thirteenth member in the Organization, but he betrayed them when he found out he was being used. He eventually return to Sora.", explain Donald.

"Interesting… Well, no one knows your heart better than you.", said Ienzo. "To be honest, we still have a plethora of questions on our side, but...the idea has merit. It's incredible enough that you and your Nobody are able to coexist. If you share a heart...no wonder someone as remarkable as you caught Ansem the Wise's eye. We'll keep investigating based on your hypothesis."

"We'll be in touch.", said Levy.

Ienzo and Levy disappeared from the screen and Chip and Dale return to the screen.

"Okeydokey, we'll give you fellas a ring if there's anything else.", said Dale. "Remember, me and Chip, the guys at Radiant Garden, King Mickey, and everybody are never far away."

"And Jiminy, would ya do us a favor? Teach Sora how to use the Gummiphone.", said Chip.

"Leave it to me.", Jiminy replied.

Chip and Dale then hung up, leaving the screen on the Gummiphone blank.

"I have to find Roxas and save him.", said Sora. "The others are following Aqua's heart, so I'll follow Roxas's heart!"

"That's great!", said Natsu. "But how do you do that?"

"Trust the guidance that your heart gives ya, Sora. That's what Master Yen Sid said.", Goofy remembered.

"But how are we going to find Roxas?", asked Natsu.

"Oh, that's easy.", said Sora with a smile.

Sora then summon his Keyblade and point it towards the window. A light came from the Keyblade and it shine.
