"It's impossible," Kairi said slowly stepping back "Sora failed…"
Kairi looked toward the door and saw there was no wall. She looked back at Cid, narrowing her eyes slighty at him as she pointed at the door. Cid's eyes widened as he saw the door, without a wall. He walked toward Kairi slowly and put his hand on her shoulder.
"I don't understand what is happening but we have to find out now…" Cid replied, still not believing what is going on.
"But how…we can't leave Traverse Town…"
"Who says we can't? I still have a gummi ship that still works. We can leave here and find out why the heartless are still alive."
"What would I do without you Cid? Let's go!"
Kairi and Cid walk over to the door. Cid looks through his bag for a remote and presses a button making the ship appear in front of them. They jump on and blast off to find answers to their questions.
Meanwhile, Riku looked at Sora seriously and fidgeted slightly, not knowing where to start.
"Sora…you know about the keyblade?"
Sora looked at Riku, dumbfounded. He raised his keyblade up and blinked.
"This thing?"
"Yes, I have one too…"
Riku raised his arm up and his keyblade appeared. It looked similar to Sora's in shape and size, but the color was different. Riku's looked like a black sword with red vines around it. Sora's eyes widened and stepped back, wondering why he has one too.
"Riku, how? I thought I was the only one who had one. How did you get one?"
"I don't know why it happened. But after Ansem possessed me, weird things started to happen. These spirits told me that I should possess a keyblade as well as you and then it appeared before me. And I was told that I am supposed to be a part of the mission to save the world from destruction. They also told me that I was the original owner but when I joined Maleficent, I lost the ability to own one. And they said that I deserve a second chance."
"Bullshit, alright Riku, what are you up to?"
"Nothing, I'm telling you the truth."
"Making up lies just because I beat you huh?"
"You know what. Forget about the keyblades. I have more important things to tell you."
Sora crossed his arms across his chest. The one thing that made him better than Riku was the keyblade. But now Riku had that too. Sora was just beginning to think that Riku was better than him in every way possible. Goofy looked at Riku and Sora and shook his head, walking over to them.
"Gawarsh guys, we should be focusing on getting out of here."
"That's what I was about to say before Sora started acting stupid," Riku added "I've found a way out."
Donald's eyes lit up, "You did! Let's not just stand here, let's go"
"Wait a minute," Sora interjected, "How do we know that we can trust him?"
"You're going to have to, unless you want to stay here forever." Riku said before he started walking, "If you want to leave, follow me."
Donald and Goofy desperately followed Riku and Sora just stood there, contemplating. He decided to go and caught up with them. Donald had a huge smile on his face as he walked cheerfully along beside Riku. Goofy looked around for Sora and saw him lagging behind them. Suddenly a phantom appeared in front of them. Unlike the one in Neverland, this one was entirely magical. It had a physical form but it was immune to physical attacks. It was dark blue with the new heartless symbol on the side of its head. It held a magical staff, similar to Donald's Wizard's Relic staff and watched the group, smirking.
"Oh shit," Sora said, running up to the heartless, slashing at it, blinded with anger, "I'll chop you to bits you stupid heartless!"
The heartless stood there watching Sora. Then bashed him aside with his staff and Sora went flying into the bushes. Riku watched with anger and looked at the heartless for a weak spot, but never found one. He didn't know what to do. He was angry but also frozen with fear. He walked toward the heartless and stood readily with his keyblade. He pointed his keyblade at the phantom and his aura turned purple.
"Graviga!" Riku screamed.
The heartless screamed as it was being pounded into the ground but then it stood back up, grinning at Riku.
"So that's it," Goofy said, "physical attacks don't work. Donald, this looks like this is your kind of fight. Help Riku while I find Sora."
Goofy leaves to find Sora while Donald went to help Riku fight. Goofy finds Sora, his left arm covered with thorns.
"Gosh Sora, are you alright?"
"Yeah," he replied, "Where's Riku?"
"Fighting the heartless. You gotta use that magic of yours to defeat it."
Sora uses curaga and runs off to the battlefield. He raises his weapon and gets ready for a trinity limit.
"Ready Donald? Goofy?"
"Yeah!" They both screamed, surrendering a bit of their power to Sora.
Riku watched and stepped aside, looking toward the portal. He walked toward it and read the inscriptions, intrigued.
"Combine the power of the keyblades and the door will open. Remember; never live by your fear. Live by the strength of the light in your heart and you shall be unstoppable. Never give in to the darkness; there is a light that will never leave you. The light will always prevail."
Riku looked over at Sora using trinity limit and ran over to him.
"Sora I need you here now! Hurry up."
Sora's aura turned yellow and ran at the heartless, stabbing the keyblade into the ground. Sora screams "trinity limit" and the phantom screams loudly as it began to disappear. Sora ran over to Riku and Riku points to the inscription. Sora reads it himself and smiles, the keyblade levitating back to him. He lifts his up and Riku lifts up his and a blue aura surrounds them. The portal opens andthey lookat each other. Getting the assurance they needed, the group jumped into the portal and they disappeared.
Kairi and Cid arrive at Agrabah and walked through the market. The market has more people now then it had a year ago. Cid looked around for any clues that might connect to the heartless but he was unsuccessful. Suddenly, people started to scream and started to run their separate ways. Two gold griffin type of heartless flew in and started to destroy the market stands. Kairi and Cid stood there, frozen of fear and didn't move. They knew they didn't have weapons and didn't know what to do. One heartless swooped down and scooped a child in its mouth while the other flew down towards Kairi and Cid. A mysterious stranger jumped down and slashed at the first heartless and saved the child and slashed the other, saving Kairi and Cid in one motion. The heartless flew away and the child was crying in the stranger's arms. He landed and put the child down and looked towards Kairi, smiling. The child ran away to her mother and Cid looked towards the stranger.
"Thanks for your help," Cid said gratefully, "But who are you?"
