Waking up early the next morning, Marlena decided she would take a walk in Traverse Town, and see some of the sights. Looking around the small town, her mind kept on replaying what had happened at Hollow Bastion, she didn't want those memories, but they had happened: Zashi had turned evil. There was still no sign of Iris either, and she began to doubt if she could save the two of them, or even herself…Marlena's hands came to her face to cover her tears, but she felt a hand on her shoulder, "are you all right?" Aeris asked.
"I don't know if I can save them…I don't even know if I can save myself…" she whispered to herself, Aeris sat down next to her and gently rubbed her back, comforting her, looking down the street, she saw Cloud, walking with his left hand on his sword. "Cloud…" Aeris whispered to him, he looked first at Aeris then to Marlena, and then he said, "there is a way to save your friends." Marlena's head shot from her hands and looked up at him. "Kingdom Hearts would give you the power to save your friends, if you haven't given up on them already."
"I would never give up on my friends!" Marlena shouted, standing up before Cloud, who just turned and said, "follow me." She walked behind Cloud and back to the blue house, he stopped, and turned around saying, "Hollow Bastion no longer has a portal to the darkness…" Marlena's hope began to die, "however there is a new world we have found called Twilight Town…" she repeated the name to herself, then Cloud went on, "we think the new world might have a portal to darkness, where Kingdom Hearts could be found… It might be a trap put by the Unknown or Anti-Sora, but we won't know until we go there…"
Marlena walked into the house and almost grabbed her sword, but she didn't remembering that she had a Keyblade with her. She walked out side, where Cloud was already waiting at the docking station for the gummi ships; Marlena ran towards him, and they climbed into the small ship, and blasted off into the inky depths of space. Cloud turned his attention from the controls and asked, "have you been working on your magic?" Marlena gave a vigorous nod, and said, "I can also summon a Keyblade!" Shock swept Cloud's face, and he turned his attention back to the controls, "Marlena has a Keyblade? Anti-Sora said that she was only a key carrier for the true master…What could this mean?" Cloud thought to himself as various worlds flew by, with Marlena sitting, staring out the window, and remembering back to when the three of them were friends…
