The final pull of the rope caused the bell to swing back farther, nearly hitting Sora, who dodged it just in time.
The bell's tune echoed throughout all of Traverse Town.
"So...what did that do?" Corita asked.
"Guys! Look!" Goofy said, pointing down into the Second District.
"Not now, Goofy!" Donald said as they tried to remember everything Cid had said.
"No one ever listens to me..." Goofy groaned. "But the Keyhole's down there now!"
"The Keyhole?!" Goofy was nearly knocked off the Gizmo Shop as 3 other people can running towards him. Luckily, he got out of the way just in time as Sora, Corita and Donald came very close to going over the edge themselves.
"AH!" Corita screeched, clinging to Sora.
"Oh boy. Corita, YOU DIDN'T FALL OVER!" Sora said.
"Yeah, well, I could have!" She moaned as Sora pulled her off.
"Ahem!" Goofy said, pointing towards the Keyhole.
"Alrighty!" Sora said, running back towards the ladder, Corita following close behind.
"Ready, Goofy?" Donald asked Goofy.
"Yep! Let's seal that thing!" He said cheerfully, following Corita.
"I'm last again..." Donald said, following Goofy.
The party continued like this until the four of them reached the fountain where the Keyhole rested.
"I'll just seal this up quick..." Sora said, taking out the Keyblade.
"Sora! Look out!" Goofy said, pointing to the sky.
"NOT NOW, GOOFY!" Donald yelled.
"No, really! Look!"
"Not right-"
Sora was cut off as the Heartless Leader of Traverse Town fell from the sky again. He looked the same as before, only a bit more battered.
"I thought we beat him?" Sora said, running back to his friends.
"Doesn't matter. Let's get him!" Corita said, running forward. But this time, she had only cast thunder once, and her friends had only taken a few whacks at him before he fell to the ground, motionless.
"Well, that was easy!" Sora said.
"Watch out!" Goofy said. The Heartless Leader managed to get up again, looking quite beaten. Instead of fighting back, it simply switched its arms and feet around, giving it a more fierce appearance.
"I suppose it thinks that's going to scare us?" Sora asked as the Heartless's armor fell off it's face, revealing it for the first time.
"Hey, it has eyes! Go for the eyes!" Sora said, running forward.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It only took a few minutes for the group to realize that the Opposite Armor, as Jiminy dubbed him, was much harder that the Guard Armor, also dubbed by the clever cricket. With Sora and Goofy slashing it's face and Corita and Donald blasting it with a variety of spells, you'd think the battle would go swiftly. But it was anything but swift.
"What's it doing?" Corita asked. The Opposite Armor was flipping it's torso on it's side and putting it's arms to it's side, to create a type of cannon.
"It looks like a cannon! DUCK AND COVER!" Sora yelled, running to the side.
"Duck? Huh?" Donald asked, looking around.
"Get out of the way, birdbrain!" Corita said, pulling him away by the wing in the nick of time. A bright blue beam shot out of the cannon and nearly hit them.
"When people want you, they'll call you by your name." Corita said gruffly to Donald.
After the Opposite Armor had gone back to normal, the team slowly defeated arms and legs. Watching the battle, you would've seen a blur of red, silver and gold leaping up to slash the Opposite armor, a smaller reddish blur and flashes of green coming from it, a white and blue blur with a variety of colors coming from it, and a yellow and green blur also slashing the Opposite Armor's various limbs.
The Opposite Armor was finally defeated, and the purple torso fell to the ground with a clatter, just like last time. A small bluish heart flew from the creature, floating upwards towards the night sky, and the torso vanished with a flash of light.
"I hope we never have to do that again..." Sora said.
"Sora...CLOSE THE KEYHOLE!" His friends shouted.
"Oh, right!" Sora said, walking towards the giant blue Keyhole. Holding out the Keyblade, the Keyhole was sealed with a flash of blue light. After the locking noise they'd come to love, the Keyhole vanished, leaving the fountain as it had once been.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You sealed the Keyhole?" Cid asked.
"Yep, it was easy.
"Great! We never have to worry about the Heartless taking this world." He said.
"Hey Cid, if you're here, who's running the Accessory Shop?"
"Beats me. Why don't you go find out for me?"
The team lep off the small wall and walked to the Accessory Shop. Inside, it was empty.
"Well, It doesn't look like te owner's running it very well..." Donald said.
"Well, well, as I live and breathe! If it isn't Pinocchio!" Jiminy said, leaping onto Sora's head.
Looking in Jiminy's direction, they saw a small wooden puppet on the ground.
"Oh. Hi, Jiminy!" The puppet said, sitting up.
"What in the world are you doing down here?" The cricket asked.
"Um..." Pinocchio said. "Playing hide-and-seek!" He said.
"I just don't believe it." Jiminy said, pacing back and forth on the ground. "And here I was, up all night, just worried sick about you. Why of all the-Pinocchio!"
Jiminy had been stopped by Pinocchio, who's nose suddenly grew much longer.
"Pinocchio! Are you telling me the truth?" Jiminy asked.
"Yes!" The boy said.
"Then tell me, what is this?" Jiminy asked, prodding a small box next to Pinocchio.
"It was a present!" Pinocchio said.
"No fibbing now!" Jiminy said. "You know you're not supposed to tell lies. A lie only grows and grows, 'til you get caught! Plain as the nose on your face!"
"But if you want something, why wait? Why not just take it?"
"Oh, my! Who told you that? You need some advice from your conscience!"
"That's right! You're my conscience, Jiminy! I'll never tell lies as long as you're around."
With that, Pinocchio's nose returned to normal.
"You need to be good so you can become a real boy. You promised Geppetto you would be, right?"
"Oh! Do you know where Father is?"
"He's not with you?"
"Jiminy, let's go find Father!" Pinocchio said eagerly.
"Now, hold on! There are all sorts of dangers and temptations out there! I'll go find Geppetto, so you just wait here. These fellows here will be helping me." Jiminy said, pointing to Sora and Corita, who were listening eagerly, and Goofy, who was trying to wake up Donald, who was sleeping on the couch.
"We will?" Sora asked.
"Well, shall we go, Sora?" Jiminy asked, hopping back into one of Sora's pockets.
"You could've asked us first..." Sora said.
"Huh? What-what's going on?" Donald asked.
"I think we'd better rest up before heading out." Corita said, opening the door of the Accessory Shop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laying in bed that night, Corita could barely sleep. It was a cool night, and Goofy wasn't even snoring next door. Closing her eyes, she tried to drift off to sleep, but she couldn't. She lay there for a long time, before finally falling asleep.
"You see? It's just as I told you." A mysterious woman dressed in black said to Riku. They were standing near the vacant house that Leon and his friends had taken in as their Secret Base. "While you toiled away trying to find your dear friends, they quite simply replaced you with some new companions. Evidently, now they value them far more than they value you. You're better off without those wretched twins. Now, think no more of them, and come with me. I'll help you find what you're searching for..."
"Huh?" Corita said, waking up. Looking around, all she saw was her Hotel Room. Resting her head on her pillow, she tried to absorb what happened, but she couldn't.
"It was just a dream." She told herself. "Just a dream..."
