After the events of the tournament Pikachu was fighting the creatures on the island and wondered if his friends are okay. He even was worried about Riolu even though he acted weird with him. But first he went in his house to check on his brother.

"Raichu. Are you here?" Pikachu looked around and Raichu looks and rushed to him. "Are you alright? It's all over the news. Strange creatures all over the world." He then mutters, "Why are heartless here now..." Pikachu wonders what he said, but will have to ask after stopping the creatures. "I'm fine, but I need to head back. My friends could be in danger." "Pikachu you can't! You'll get killed!" Pikachu was already out the door and Raichu sighed as he chased after him. The yellow mouse looked around and take down the creatures. The creatures was surrounding Eevee and Oshawott who is injured. After he take them down he helped his friends up. "You guys okay?" Oshawott stretched a little and said, "Yeah we are okay bro. Just a little hurt." Pikachu hugs them. "Come on let's head back." Just then Pikachu felt a strong darkness. "Guys wait. Something...evil is coming." Giant pieces of armor appeared and it had a strange heart symbol on its torso. It got together and got ready to fight.

"Guys I think he's mad," said Oshawott as the heartless strikes at them but they dodged the attack. Oshawott used Water Gun on the armor but it barely did damage. "My attack isn't doing anything!" He did it again but the armor hit him easily. Eevee used Bite and it didn't work. "We can't beat it guys!" Just then they see Mickey jump in and rushed to them. "Guys! You need to leave! I'll handle this fellas!" He summoned his Kingdom Key D and glared at the creature. Pikachu looks at him. "You have a keyblade?" Mickey turned and look at him. "You know what a keyblade is? Then that means you-" He was cut off as the armor as about to hit him and Pikachu pushed him out of the way and was about to get hit until his keyblade appeared and block the attack. The mouse king saw the keyblade and was amazed and shocked at the same time. He thought, 'That must be the new keyblade wielder Master Yensid was talking about. He seems so special.'

Pikachu charged at him to fight. As he fought him he thought, 'Eevee and Oshawott's attacks didn't had any effect against this thing. Does this mean the keyblade can damage it?' He slashed and attack its feet first and block the punches as they were about to hit him.. When the feet was destroyed they started to stomp creating shock waves and started to stun Pikachu. As he was stunned the armor started to punch him repeatedly. Then Pikachu did a Aerial Recovery and attacks its hands. The yellow mouse thought, 'Damn this thing is so strong. Need to attack harder.' He did a stronger slash on the hands and they got destroyed.

The armor was more angry at Pikachu. It slams its body on Pikachu repeatedly and spin around creating a mini tornado spinning Pikachu and throwing him towards a wall. Eevee yelled, "Pikachu!" She was about to cry until Mickey spoke. "Wait look!" As Eevee looked she sees Pikachu getting back up and glared. "I...won't...let you...hurt this world!" He glows an aura of light and his keyblade changed into a blade of light and his eyes glowed and started to do a brutal combo on the guard armor which finished it off. As the giant armor torso is being destroyed and a heart came out of it and went away.

Pikachu slowly fell on the ground groaning and his friend ran to him to make sure he was okay. "Guys guys I'm fine." Eevee still hugs him and didn't let go. "Eevee it's okay I'm fine." He hugs her back. Oshawott then asked, "Hey bro. What was that? That strange power you had. You was glowing very brightly." Pikachu didn't know what he was talking. "Glowing? What do you mean?" He looked all over himself to see if he is glowing. "I don't see anything glowing Oshawott." Mickey walks up to them. "You had an aura of light surrounding you." They look at Mickey confused. "Oh my mistake. I'm Mickey. I'm here on a special mission. To find someone." Pikachu walks close and asks, "Who are you trying to find?"

"...You."
