A Train stopped at the Twilight Town Train station where a hooded King Mickey exits the mysterious blue and gold train that Roxas seen before. Roxas turns around staring right at Sora as he fades away.
"Sora" said Roxas urgently.
"Who's there?" asked Sora
"Sora!" yelled Donald
"Sora, wake up!" said Goofy
Sora slowly wakes up as the capsule he was in opens up in front of Donald and Goofy. Sora stretches and sees the other two laughing at him. He jumps out of the capsule at them and grabs them in his arms.
"Donald, Goofy!" yelled Sora
They laugh and hop in a circle. Jimmy Cricket on Sora's shoulder, yawns, and stretches.
"That was some nap!" said Jimmy hopping off Sora's shoulder down to the floor
"You mean, we were asleep?" asked Sora
"I guess we musta been, or I don't think we'd be so drowsy..." replied Jimmy
"When do ya think we went to sleep?" asked Goofy
"Uhh..."
"Let's see...we defeated Ansem..." said Sora
"Yep" answered Goofy
"...restored peace to the world...found Kairi... Oh yeah, and then we went to look for Riku. I think that's right so far" said Sora
"Then what?" asked Donald
"What does your journal say, Jimmy?" asked Goofy
Jimmy takes out his journal; "Gee, there's only one sentence... Thank Naminé…Hmm... I wonder who that is?" asked Jimmy. Sora, Donald, and Goofy look at one another and shake their heads.
"Some journal that is" said Donald
"Well, what do ya say we find out where we are!" suggested Jimmy.

The group walks around Twilight Town and starts to enter the Usual Spot when Sora stops and looks around.
"You know, I think I've been to this town" said Sora
"What's it called?" asked Donald
"Hmm... Guess I must've imagined it" replied Sora trying to think of the name but nothing came to him. But there was a feeling. He brushed it off as he walked in where he seen Hayner, Olette, and Pence, Falcon boredly lying around the room.
"What do you want!?" snapped Hayner
"Uh, nothing. Just wondering what was back here" answered Sora as he tried not to cause trouble putting his hand behind his head.
"Now you know. This is our spot" said Hayner
"Umm..." said Pence walking up to Sora looking at him closely.
"What?" asked Sora confused at Pence.
"You're...new around here, right? I'm Pence"
"I'm Falcon"
"Hayner. Nice to meet you, but we got stuff to do, so catch ya later", as Hayner and Falcon leave.
"My name's Olette. Hey, did you finish up the summer homework, yet? Independent studies are the worst, huh?"
"Homework?" exclaimed Sora as he looks behind him at Donald and Goofy who just shakes there heads and shrug.
"Hey, what're your names?" asked Pence
"Oh, sorry. We're Sora, Donald, and Goofy" answered Goofy
"Hey there"
Olette and Pence look at each other before looking back at them; "Sora, Donald, Goofy, we just met someone who was looking for you" said Olette
"He sure seemed in a hurry. He had a black coat on so I couldn't see his face, but he had these big round ears" said Pence making his hands with his pointer fingers a round circle on top of his head. As Sora, Donald and Goofy thought about who they thought Pence was talking about they got excited.
"The King!" said Donald excitedly.
"Where'd you see him?" asked Sora
"At the station" answered Pence
"The station! Thanks!"
"Well, we'd better get back to that assignment" said Olette
"Later"
As Olette and Pence leave. The three of them looked at each other.
"Oh boy! The King's trying to find us!" said Donald
"Ok, let's get to the station!" said Sora
As they ran out of the Usual Spot they go down to the Sandlot where they find Seifer, Fuu and Rai; who get defensive when they see them coming.
"Hey you, where'd you come from?" asked Seifer
"Uhh..."
"You here to pick a fight with us or something?" asked Seifer
"Fight? We're not here to fight" answered Sora
"Yeah, you big palooka!" yelled Donald
"Okay, smartalecks... Time to teach you how to behave in my town. Bring it!" said Seifer as him, Fuu, and Rai lift up their fists.
"Man, what a jerk" Sora muttered to Goofy and Donald for them to hear as Donald nods and he and Sora also get ready to fight.
"One moment!" yelled the Producer from the struggle tournament runs over between them.
"If you're gonna fight, why not make it a proper Struggle?" asked the Producer
"What?"
"You see, Seifer... I'm a really big fan" explained the Producer.
"Wh-what do you want?" said Seifer in surprise.
"In other words, I want to see more of your "super cool" moves! You handled the tournament with real style, and you absolutely dominated the title match. But I just can't get enough. Don't you see? The matches are far too short!"
He turns to Sora, "And what's your name?" he asked
"Sora"
"Sora, if you wanna fight a match, you just say the word"
Sora nods and him and his friends continue to head to the station. There they see an unconscious girl laying on the floor. They run up to her as she slowly gets up holding her head, groaning.
"Are you ok?" Asks Sora crouching down to her.
She removes her hand and looks at them. "Behind you!" She yells as she jumps summoning her keyblade and attacks a white creature behind them.
They look back at her and all of a sudden they are surrounded by these white creatures. Sora looks at the weird insignia on their heads. It was different from the heartless. As they fight them more and more just reappear after the other which make them overwhelmed and become exhausted. King Mickey appears on the ledge of the station. As the white creatures strike again; Sora holds up his Keyblade to protect him and his friends. King Mickey swoops down and destroys the remaining enemies with his own Keyblade. Sora is amazed as he stands in a crawling stance. Donald and Goofy push Sora down out of the way looking at the King. The girl sits behind them looking to the side up at King Mickey.
"Your Majesty?" asked Donald
"Shh! You gotta board the train and leave town! The train knows the way" said King Mickey as he holds out the munny pouch to Sora, Donald and Goofy. "Take her with you, she's chosen to help you through your journeys " continued King Mickey glancing at the girl to the group as Sora takes the munny pouch as they look at it closely.
"Your Majesty..." exclaimed Donald as they all watched the King leave.
"The King...was that really him?" asked Sora
"It coulda been...Yep, I know it was!" exclaimed Goofy
"Now we know he's okay!" said Donald happily
"The King was locked in the realm of darkness, right?" asked Sora remembering the last time they seen King Mickey.
"Uh-huh"
"But we just saw him..." said Sora
"Yep" answered Donald
"And if the King is here, that means Riku's here!"
The girl sitting there quietly listens to there conversation looking towards the sunset when she snaps a look at Sora at the mentioning of Riku. She looks at the him a little more closely. He had spiky brown hair that was scattered everywhere; sun kissed skin and he had to be the same height as Hayner, his clothes looked kinda small on him and wondered if that was normal from where he came from. He didn't seem the type of person that Riku hung out with as she remembered meeting Riku, he seemed to be older and more serious and rude. The two friends of Sora had to be friends with the "King" since they also don't look like someone that Riku hung around with.
"He's gotta be!" said Donald
"Well, I'm gonna go look for Riku. Then he and I can go back to the islands together. Kairi's there waiting for us! What are you two gonna do?" asked Sora
"Gawrsh, Sora. Do ya have to ask?"
Sora laughs, "Hey! What's so funny!?" asks Donald getting offended.
"Your face!" answered Sora pointing at them
Donald and Goofy look at each other and laugh along with Sora. "What do ya say, guys? Let's stick together for one more journey" said Sora. Donald and Goofy nodded and they look at the girl as she stands up.
"Thanks for saving us back there...umm.." said Sora looking at her. Her dark brown hair was long in a ponytail that stopped at the mid of her back with some loose stands framing her face flowing with her side bangs which were parting to the right. She was a couple inches shorter than Sora matching her petite frame. She wore a burnt orange strappy cropped top and blue distressed skinny jeans and orange and blue high tops.
"Andi..."
"I'm Sora, Donald and Goofy"
"You're a keybearer too!" Exclaimed Goofy
"Yeah...I guess so.." replied Andi pushing some strands back behind her ear.
"What happened? Why were you on the floor?" Asked Donald.
"I...I was looking for someone...and last thing I remember is waking up with you guys" explained Andi.
"Who are you looking for?" Asked Goofy
"Just a friend" Replied Andi trying not to give them very much.
"Ok?...maybe we could help you find this friend" said Sora.
"No that's ok. I can find him on my own" said Andi as she started walking off towards the alley.
"You can't stay here. The King said you have to come with us" explained Donald
"Look I know what your "King" said but you guys have the wrong girl. I'm not going anywhere with you guys. I don't even know you!" Replied Andi.
"We can say the same thing. But none of us wanted to leave our home either. But if you don't come with us those things and the heartless will come after you while you have that Keyblade" explained Sora
"I can't go!" Yells Andi frustrated.
"Is it because of your friend?" asked Sora
Andi opens her mouth and decides against it as she walks away from them down the alley. Sora, Donald and Goofy look at each other not knowing what to do at this point.
"What do we do?" Asked Sora looking between Donald and Goofy.
"We follow her" said Donald as the follow where Andi goes where she stops at a grey house with a white wrap around porch and yellow door. There she is greeted by her big puppy that jumps up at her whining. Andi seems quite happy to see as she crouches down petting.
"Did you find him?"
Andi startled by the surprise turns around looking at Sora and his friends.
"Did you just follow me here?" Asked Andi
"We can't leave without you coming with us" explained Donald.
"In case you guys couldn't understand. I am not coming with you no matter what" snapped Andi
"What's with you! One minute you help us out the next your a different person the next?!" Asked Sora getting a little aggravated.
"Just because I helped you out doesn't make us friends" snapped Andi glaring at him.
"Go with them Andi!"
Andi looks and sees Falcon walking towards Sora. Andi gritted her teeth at her "this is none of your business Falcon" snapped Andi.
"Then What is?! When were you going to tell us the truth?!" Snapped Falcon
"You don't get it" muttered Andi looking away.
"Might not, But they might...We will take care of Bear. I promise" said Falcon.
"That's not even it!" said Andi
"Then what is it?!"
"I have to stay here because-" Andi stops herself.
"Because?" asked Falcon
"Nothing" replied Andi softly as she sighs in defeat; patting Bear on the head she walks over to Sora looking at her puzzled.
"I'll go with you but I still don't trust you" said Andi.
"Great!...So to...where again?" asked Sora as he places his hands behind his head with a smile trying to remember.
"We hafta board the train!" answered Goofy
"Oh yeah"
Donald sighs.
"C'mon!...umm..." says Sora as he stopped looking at Andi scratching his head with a embarrassed smile on his face. Andi shook her head and takes the lead as they run to the station and head inside.
"Hey wait up!" yells Hayner as Andi, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Falcon and Bear turn and stop as Hayner, Pence and Olette catch up to them, Falcon goes back to stand with Hayner.
"Hey, Sora..." said Hayner
"What?" asked Sora
"Nothing, but..."
"We came to see you off. It just seemed like something we oughta do" said Pence
"Oh...really? Thanks!" said Sora
The station clock rings in a hurry.
"You should hurry and get your tickets" said Olette
"Unless your going to stay here, intill tomorrow" said Falcon
"Right" said Sora
Sora walks over to purchase tickets when he takes out the munny pouch at the teller. Olette notices and gasps.
"What is it?" asked Donald
Olette takes an exact copy of the munny pouch. Andi looks at both of the exact same munny pouches in Sora and Olette's hand. "They're the same" answered Goofy
"Yeah" agreed Olette
Sora looks to both pouches and shrugs not putting more thought in it; "Four tickets, please!"
Sora gets four tickets from the teller. Andi stands there next to Sora looking at the train. As her heart sank from Sora's conversation with his friends; "I can't help feeling like we won't see this town again..." said Sora sadly. Andi glances at her friends and then looks down at Bear by her feet who was sitting next to her happily rubbing his head on her leg.
"Why not?" asked Donald
"You're thinkin' too much" answered Goofy
"Yeah, you're right!" agreed Sora
"Okay, let's go!" said Sora as they were getting ready to get on the train. Donald and Goofy nod and wave goodbye as they walk in while Andi looks at her friends and pets Bear one last time as she walks in; Bear starts to follow before she turns "No Bear you have to stay here" she scolded him as he backed away with his ears down and whining not understanding what's going on; "You're leaving too?" Asked Hayner.
"Yeah...I don't want too. But they say they need me" replied Andi glancing at Falcon who avoids eye contact with her.
"Will we see you again?" said Olette
"Maybe..." replied Andi
"Well come find us when if you do" said Pence
"And we're still your friends even if you go on some adventure" said Hayner with a smile.
"Huh?...Yeah...Thanks guys" said Andi smiling back at them. Then looks down at Bear crouching down at him rubbing his soft pointy ears; "You gotta stay with Hayner, Ok?" she said as Bear whines at her. "Go on" she commanded him as he goes by Hayner's side looking sad.
"We'll take care of him while your gone" promised Pence. Andi nodded and half saluted with her two fingers freely; "Well see you later" she said as she walked in the train as her friends said goodbye. Hayner and the gang look at Sora.
"Bye" said Sora
"Hey, Sora. You sure we haven't met before?" asked Hayner crossing his arms.
Sora thinks, "Positive. Why do you ask?"
"I dunno" replied Hayner shaking his head and smiles
Sora smiles and a tear falls down his cheek. Hayner and the others are surprised as Sora; "Huh?" as Sora quickly brushes the tear away from his face.
"You okay?" asked Olette
"Y-yeah. Don't know where it came from" answered Sora
"Pull it together" chuckled Hayner
"Right... See ya" said Sora as he waves and enters the train.
He waves again as the door closes and thr train leaves. Pence turns to Hayner, Olette and Falcon who was petting Bear. Andi looks at the window and stares into space. Sora, Donald, and Goofy watch outside as the train rolls on. Sora pulls out the munny pouch from his pocket and opens it revealing a blue crystal ball, he holds that up to the light.
"You know..." said Sora as he stops and thinks bringing in the crystal ball to his heart as Donald and Goofy sit down and Andi looks at Sora; "I'm sad" continued Sora. Andi rolls her eyes and lays her chin on her arms looking at the window behind the train bench.
"We'll be back" said Donald
"Yeah. We can visit Hayner and those guys again" replied Goofy.
Sora nods as he looks out the window as it changes to space knowing now they have left Twilight Town. Sora places the crystal back in the pouch and in his pocket when he sits down next to Andi and looked up at the ceiling.
"You don't even know them" muttered Andi
"Huh?"
"I said you don't even know them. How can you be sad when you just meet them" said Andi flatly looking at Sora.
"You can be friends with people you just met if you let them" replied Sora
"Hmph..." said Andi as she looked away out towards the window again.

"He's gone" sighs Axel leaning against the posts on Sunset Hill.
"let's go"
"You don't have any place to go. And you don't have anywhere to go back to either. Such things don't exist for people like us" said Axel looking at Namine.
"Maybe there is no place for me to go. But I have some places I want to go...And some people I want to see" says Namine looking at the drawling of Sora and Roxas holding hands.
"Me too" agreed Axel.
"So...Why don't you just let us go? That old guy told you to get rid of us, didn't he?" asked Axel looking at Ansem.
Namine looked at Ansem in surprise "Diz really said that?" she asked pulling her sketch book to her chest.
"Go"
"Why don't you finish your task here?" asked Axel almost tempting him.
The hooded man and Namine look at Axel; "I owe you two." says Ansem.
"Really?" asked Namine releasing her sketch book from her chest.
"Yes, for the things that happened in Castle Oblivion." he replied
"Well, thank you then." says Axel as he forms a black portal behind him. Namine looks down at her sketch one last time and glances at Axel who nods at her. Looking between the two men a few times she stops at Ansem, "Sorry..." she says looking down and runs through the dark portal as Ansem watched her. Axel looks at him on last time and disappears with the portal...
