"Should we wake them yet?" asked Rai as Donald landed the Gummi onto
the Gummi pad.
"No, let them sleep a bit longer." answered Donald.
Donald opened the hatch, and stepped outside. Rai was about to, but he saw Ren wake up, so he waited for the Heartless to follow. Once they were out too, Donald, Rai, and Ren started to search for Sid and Leon. The city was very busy outside the Gummi hangar, people were running around everywhere, and several were fixing the buildings the Darkside and Guard Armor had wrecked. Rai found what he thought he remembered to be Sid's shop, and he went in.
"Can I help you sir?" asked a familiar voice.
"Sid!" yelled Rai, happy to see the old man.
"Yea, that's my name." said Sid, then he looked closer at Rai. "Rai! And Donald and that... Heartless thing..."
"His name is Ren, and don't talk about him like that. It'll hurt his feelings." said Rai.
"Sorry. But where's Goofy? He didn't..." started Sid.
"No! Oh, no. He's just snoozing on the Gummi with a few new friends of ours." answered Donald.
"Alrighty." said Sid.
"So, how's your leg?" asked Rai.
"Oh, it's okay. That Leon fellow rushed me straight to the hospital after he saw the Guard Armor explode in the sky."
"What happened to Leon?" said Donald.
"Well, he came to check on me a few times, and then he stopped once I got out of the hospital. I haven't seen him since a week ago, when he needed new Gummi parts so he could go to this world... uh... Gaia I think he called it." said Sid.
"Gaia? Hmmm... Did he say why?" asked Rai.
"Well, I think it was because he wanted to check up on some old friends of his." answered Sid.
"Whadaya say Donald? How bout we go there next?" said Rai.
"Hey! Hold on a sec! It's dangerous there I hear." warned Sid.
"Hey, I fought Seto."
"It shows." said sid.
"That's not what I meant! I fought him, and I'm still alive!" said Rai angrily.
"Whoa! Cool down kid, I'm just concerned for you guys. Don't want'cha to get hurt." said Sid.
"Well, we can manage. You have the Gummi piece to get us to Gaia?" asked Rai.
"Yeah, but it'll cost ya. This is a rare one. And you never payed me before neither." said Sid.
"Oh, yeah. Hey Donald, why don't you go check up on the others?" said Rai. Donald left. "Put it on his tab." said Rai, referring to Donald.
Sid handed the Gummi over to Rai, and Rai and Ren went after Donald. When they got to the ship, they found the others just awaking. "Hey guys! We're going to a new planet!" announced Rai.
The others looked at him, rubbing the sleep from their eyes. Then Rai took out the old Gummi piece, inputted the new one, and navigated the Gummi ship out of the hangar, tipping the person who was watching the Gummis. Then he punched the warp drive, and the zoomed into hyperspace.
Meanwhile, back at Sid's shop...
A strange man entered Sid's shop. He was wearing a red cape, and had a metallic arm. "Have you seen a kid, around thirteen years old, probably with a girl and a Heartless?" asked the man.
"Maybe. What business would you be having with them?" said Sid in reply.
"I... have something of theirs. I saw them drop it, but they went off too fast for me to give it to them." said the man, giving a barely noticeable smirk. Sid wished he could see the man's eyes, but the man kept them hidden.
"Nope. Haven't seen 'em."
The man instantly took hold of his pistol, and aimed it at Sid's head. "I don't believe you." said the man.
"T-they... went..." Sid sighed. "To Gaia."
"Thanks." said the man, putting away his gun. The man left, tossing a coin at Sid. Sid took it, but noticed a little light on it.
"Oh no!!!" Sid cried, dropping the coin and running out his back door. He was barely ten feet away when his shop went up with a bang. He would've gotten farther if it weren't for his broken leg. He was thrown to the ground from the force of the explosion, and when he looked back, there was only a smouldering pile of ashes left of his shop. He heard the man laughing as the man walked slowly away, not noticing the terrified Sid.
"No, let them sleep a bit longer." answered Donald.
Donald opened the hatch, and stepped outside. Rai was about to, but he saw Ren wake up, so he waited for the Heartless to follow.
