"Merlin seems a little weird." Sora remarked as they walked into the Third District.
"Don't worry about him. He's fine." Donald said.
"Watch it!" Goofy said as a Shadow Heartless appeared in front of them. Sora whisked out the Keyblade and was about to kill it, when a strange sword cut through the Heartless, making it dissapear in a puff of darkness. Looking at the owner of the sword, Sora and Corita could barely believe their eyes. Before them stood...
"Riku!" They cried, moving towards their friend. Sora carefully yanked at his jaw while Corita pulled his hair.
"Hey, hey! What are you guys doing?!" Riku asked, pushing them away.
"Sora, it's really Riku!" Corita exclaimed.
"We're not dreaming this time, right?" Sora asked.
"I hope not. Took forever to find you." Riku said.
"It really is you!" Corita said.
"Wait a second. Where's Kairi?" Sora asked.
"Isn't she with you?" Riku asked. Sora and Corita exchanged nervous glances.
"Don't worry. I'm sure we'll find her, too." Riku said, walking futher into the Third District area where they had fought off the Heartless leader of Traverse Town. "Just leave everything to me." Riku continued as a Shadow Heartless appeared behind him and creeped toward him. Sora took the Keyblade out and defeated the creature just as Riku turned around.
"I know this..." Riku started, but ended as he saw Sora rest the Keyblade on his shoulder.
"Leave it to who?" Sora asked as his friends surrounded him.
"Sora! How did you-" Riku started, but couldn't finish.
"Corita and I have been looking all over for you, with their help!" Sora said, gesturing towards Donald and Goofy.
Riku turned his head towards them.
"Who are they?" He asked.
"Ahem. My name is-" Donald began, but Sora cut him off.
"We're been to so many worlds and places, looking for you!" He said.
"Really? Well, what do you know?" Riku said with a hint of jealousy in his voice.
"And guess what? Sora's the Keyblade Master!" Goofy said happily.
"Who would've thought it?" Donald said, turning away from Sora.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Sora asked Donald.
"So, this is called a 'Keyblade?'" Riku asked, holding up the gold and silver key to the moonlight.
"Huh? How did you get that?" Corita asked, looking from Sora's hands to Riku's.
"Give it back!" Sora cried, leaping forward. Riku stepped back at the exact right moment, and Sora fell to the ground.
"Catch." Riku said, tossing it to Sora, who caught it and got up off the ground.
"Okay, so you're coming with us, right?" Sora asked. "We've got this awesome rocket! Wait until you see it!"
"No!" Donald said. "He can't come!"
"What?" Sora and Corita asked.
"Forget it!"
"Come on, he's our friend!"
"I don't care!"
"Sora, I say we ditch Feather Brain here and go with Riku ourselves!"
"Good idea!"
"He's gone!"
"Let's go!"
"He's dissapeared!"
"No! We need you to help us find the king!"
"You think I care?"
"Uh, guys, Riku's gone!"
"Not now, Goofy! What? He's gone?"
Turning their heads, they saw that Riku had indeed vanished.
"Nice going." Sora groaned.
"Don't worry. At least he's okay." Corita said.
"You're right. And who knows? Maybe we'll find Kairi soon, too!" Sora said hopefully.
"Guys, we have to meet Cid, remember?" Goofy said.
"Oh, right!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey!" Cid called cheerfully. The once vacant house was now lit up and warm, and Cid, Leon, Yuffie and Aerith were all gathered inside.
"Hi everyone! What's with the gathering?" Corita asked.
"Well, we decided to have a special place to meet and talk." Cid explained. "Did you deliver that book?" "Yep." Sora said. "Have you guys ever heard of Maleficent?" Leon asked. "Maleficent?" Sora asked.
"A witch, man! She's a witch!" Cid said.
"She's the reason all the Heartless are in Traverse Town. Don't take her lightly." Aerith said.
"I finished adding that gummi to your ship." Cid said. "You'll be able to go much farther now."
"Thanks everyone!" Sora, Corita and Goofy said. Corita elbowed Donald and he murmered a thank you.
"Well, I think we'll be checking out the Gizmo Shop later." Sora said.
"Be careful up there. It's all boarded up." Yuffie said.
"Heck, go check it out. Ring the bell three times if you can get in." Cid said.
"Can we do it in the morning?" Goofy asked. "I'm tired..."
Donald sighed. "If we wait until morning, you and Corita will be jumping off the walls for 3 hours! We go NOW!"
"Wow, Donald. You really need to lighten up."
"You need less sugar..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After defeating all the opposing Heartless in the Gizmo Shop, the team left the shop and found a ladder hanging outside.
"I'll climb first!" Goofy said cheerfully, and started his climb up the ladder.
"Wow, great view from up here!" Goofy called down. Corita groaned.
"I hate heights..." She groaned.
"Come on up, everyone!" Goofy said. Sora, Donald and Corita climbed the ladder to the top of the Gizmo Shop, and were greeted by several flying Heartless, some red, some blue, some yellow, and some green. They were quickly defeated, and the group started searching the area for the bell Cid had told them to ring.
Donald walked over to Corita.
"Why are you so afraid of heights?" He asked as Corita peered nervously over the edge of the Gizmo Shop.
"I don't know." Corita answered truthfully. "Something probably happened when I was little, but I don't remember much of my childhood...it's just a bunch of blurs. My earliest memory Sora, Riku and I playing with coconuts near the Paupu Tree..." Corita said.
"You played with coconuts?" Donald asked.
"Well, we played with coconuts, then Sora and Riku grew into throwing them at each other, and then they got into fighting each other."
"They THREW them at each other? That explains a lot..."
"Yep. It hurt, too, when they missed each other and they hit me..." Corita said. "Anyway, we should get back to-"
"Donald! Corita!" Goofy called. "Come here!"
They walked over to Goofy and Sora, who had found a boarded up wall.
"Reckon there's something behind it?" Goofy asked.
"Maybe...but how are we supposed to get in?" Corita asked.
Corita suddenly felt something on her head. Brushing her hair off, a small voice said, "Hey! Hey! Be careful!"
"AH!" Corita yelled, brushing off her brown hair. "What's on my head?!"
"It's me! Jiminy Cricket!" The creature said, who then lept into Goofy's hands.
"You didn't tell them about me yet?" The cricket asked Goofy.
"We were going to the next the morning..." Donald said. "But Goofy and Corita decided to go on a peppy rampage!"
"A peppy rampage?" The cricket asked. Donald nodded his head.
Goofy held out the cricket. "Sora, Corita, this is Jiminy Cricket." The cricket gave a small bow.
"Jiminy Cricket?" Corita asked. "How come we've never seen you before?"
"Well, I work behind the scenes, writing down all the infomation on all your adventures." Jiminy explained.
"You write it all down? Where?" Sora asked. Jiminy jumped into one of Goofy's pocket's and pulled out a small book.
"In here." He said proudly.
"Wow!" Corita said, pulling out the book. "We've defeated 502 Shadow Heartless? You counted?" She asked.
"Yes." Jiminy said proudly. "Now, next time, please don't try to swat me off your head. I get a better view from the tops of people's heads."
With that, the cricket lept back into Goofy's pocket.
"Hey, this is pretty interesting!" Corita read as her friends searched for a way in. "Did you know that there's a chapter dedicated to us, Sora?"
"Really?" He asked. "We should read it...after we find a way in!"
"Well, I guess we're just going to have to bust it..." Donald said, taking out his staff.
"FIRE!" He screeched, and a blast of fire shot from his staff. The weak wall was blasted open, but some of the wood caught on fire.
"BLIZZARD!" Donald quacked, and the fire was quickly put out.
"Look! It's the bell Cid was talking about!" Goofy said, pointing to it.
Inside was a small area, and inside the small area was a large bell. When a large bell is put inside a small area, it leaves a very small space.
"Alright, I'm going in!" Sora said, entering the bell area.
"Ugh! It's really cramped in here!" Sora whined.
"Stop complaining and ring the bell!" Corita said to her brother.
"Alright..."
"Why does Cid want us to ring this bell anyway?" Goofy asked.
"I don't know, because he's crazy?" Donald suggested.
"One..." Sora said as he pulled the rope to the bell, and the bell echoed it's eerie tune.
"Two..." He said as he pulled the rope again.
"Three!" He said, giving it a final tug.
~~Sora53: Oh! The suspense! I can't take it!
