Sora ran towards the castle at full sprint, he hadn't a moment to spare.
His Ultima Weapon swung methodically in his hand. How could I have not
thought of that sooner? How could waste a year without examining every
possibility? He pounded himself with questions now that he had discovered
the secret to leaving King Mickey's planet. He dashed through the castle
gate, cornering through the castle hallways like a master, not losing a
second off of his time slowing down. He reached the chamber of Donald and
Goofy. He paused, just for a moment, to swing the door open. As he dashed
in, Donald awoke with a start while Goofy slept noisily in the other bed.
"Sora! What are you doing?" wailed Donald. "Donald. Keyblade. Traverse. Mickey. Kairi!" panted Sora, not waiting to regain his breath.
"Sora, you're not making sense." explained Donald. Slightly recovered, Sora expanded on his discoveries. "I heard. the voice. said Keyblade. hope and strength of heart. sunrise. moon. Mickey's kingdom. Traverse Town."
"Voice, Sora? Mickey's realm, Traverse Town?" asked Donald, still clearly confused on the message that Sora wanted to convey. Breath regained, Sora explained. "The voice is what led me to the Keyblade in the first place, but what I'm trying to say is that I know how to find Mickey, Riku, and Kairi. I know how to get off this planet!"
"Leave the planet! How? What about the barriers?" queried Donald. "I'll explain it all on the way, we've got no time to loose. We've got to." Sora stopped mid sentence as Goofy's snoring penetrated the conversation.
"Goofy, wake up! We've got to leave! Sora says it's important!" exclaimed Donald. In seeing that his attempt at waking Goofy had failed, he resorted to his failsafe method, striking the sleeping beauty, or lack thereof, with a thunderbolt. Goofy awoke slowly, responding at an equal pace to his surroundings. "Oh, hi Donald, hi Sora. What's going on? Are we going somewhere?" questioned a confused Goofy. "Goofy, we have to go! I know how to find the King! I know how we can get to them!" exclaimed Sora. "Really, how? How do you know that you're right?" asked Goofy in return.
"I just believe. That's all we had to do all along is believe. I believe now that I know how to find them and so I will," responded Sora. "Well, uh. ok Sora. Let's go!" Goofy answered.
And so the new adventure began. The three partners set out from the castle, dusting off all of their old equipment from the Save the King, Goofy's mighty shield to the Save the Queen, Donald's matching wand. They were fully prepared for the journey ahead of them. The castle guardians were glad to get a chance to go on another adventure, the details of running the kingdom had softened the two warriors over a year's time. As the left the castle, Donald questioned Sora as to the direction of their travels and how exactly he planned to leave the planet.
As they walked, Sora explained his discoveries. "Last night I couldn't sleep, I was haunted by memories of Kairi. I made a promise to her and it's one I would never break, much less to the girl I lo. I mean, I knew all along that our adventure wasn't at an end. It was just this feeling I had. But I went out from the castle in the dead of night and I was just admiring the stars when all of a sudden, I heard that voice. It was that same voice that had spoken to me in my dream, that same voice that had helped me to find my way to the Keyblade, and that same voice that pushed me through all of my journey. This voice, it told me that it was time to fulfill my true destiny and that all I had to do was believe. And then I knew, then I knew that we could do anything if we just believed. I remembered that there were new barriers between the planets, but I knew now that all I had to do was believe. Just then, the sun rose on the horizon and shone bright in the sky. I turned and looked behind me and there was the moon. Then I remembered, in Traverse Town, in the secret waterway there was that moon symbol on that wall. Then I remembered that the gummi ships aren't the only way to travel between planets, there are also interplanetary doorways like on Destiny Island. All we have to do is find these doorways and we can travel wherever we want!"
"But what about the moon in the secret waterway?" questioned Donald. "Don't you get it, it wasn't just a design, it was one of those doorways between worlds. So if there was a moon symbol, there must be a matching one somewhere else with a sun on it! That's why the sunrise was so important. I'm sure that this is the way to the doorway and so we're going towards the sunrise. I don't know how, but we'll find that doorway! I'm gonna find Kairi, no matter what it takes!"
And so, intent upon their new goal and driven by the hopes of Sora, the trio set off into the sunrise. They couldn't have known the adventure or the dangers that awaited them along their way. All they knew was that by believing, their dreams could come true. Their new story was just beginning, as was the bright new day.
"Sora! What are you doing?" wailed Donald. "Donald. Keyblade. Traverse. Mickey. Kairi!" panted Sora, not waiting to regain his breath.
"Sora, you're not making sense." explained Donald. Slightly recovered, Sora expanded on his discoveries. "I heard. the voice. said Keyblade. hope and strength of heart. sunrise. moon. Mickey's kingdom. Traverse Town."
