Returning to Twilight Town, the group came to the bistro to give the ingredients they found to Remy. Theo also found a communication service and called Minona and Specter right away.
"Theo! Oh, it's so glad to see you alive! Specter and I were so worried since we were watching the guild while everyone was looking for you!" Minona said.
"Yeah, sorry to worry you, Minona. You too, Specter. I might've worried you so much, you must've died again, huh?" Theo joked.
"You ass! When you get back here, you're gonna wish I had passed on!" Specter shouted.
"Specter, be nice!" Minona said.
"Why should I? He keeps calling himself a leader but instead he runs off cause he thinks the world revolves around him. He's just a kid." Specter said.
"Eh, kids can learn from mistakes. I'm sure he won't do it again, right Theo?" SE asked.
"Yeah, I'm not gonna do it again." Theo said. "But Specter, I didn't run off because it was about me. It's not about just me, the whole worlds are at stake. Xehanort is someone who wants to destroy everything I know. I'm not gonna stand by and watch as he destroys everything. But working with the guildmates and the guys we've come to know… I know we can stop them."
"Theo...just come home." Minona said.
"No. I'm not going to. It's my destiny to face the Organization alongside these guys!" Theo said.
"Funny...I said the same thing when I went to face the dragon. Guess how well that ended." Specter said.
"Specter. That's enough." David said. "Look, I understand that you're worried about him, but it was his decision to come here. Besides, if he leaves now, who's gonna reunite the guild that have been scattered in this whole mess?"
"You little...why you...how can...Ugh...what's the point? He's just gonna go no matter what I say. Just come back alive...you dumb novice." Specter said as the communication ended.
"Well that could've gone better." Theo sighed. "I don't know what's Specter's problem."
"You have to remember, before he met his end, Specter was a well respected Adventurer across our universe." Emerald said.
"Speaking of remembering… Any memories come back, Naomi?" David asked.
"A few… One is...a name, Ava. And that thing that Ace said. I know I heard it...somewhere before." Naomi said. "I think whoever I talked to during that missing amount of time mentioned it. But...I still can't remember who they were. If I could just remember that...maybe I can finally piece everything together."
"Don't worry, it'll return eventually." Ace said. "It just takes time that's all."
"We will figure out who you are, Naomi." Hope said. "Count on it."
"Hey guys, look who's sitting together outside the bistro." Gemini said.
"Is that Merlin? And sitting with him is…" X started.
"Estelle, desu?" Sheath asked.
"Oh yeah, while we were coming back from Arendelle, Chip and Dale did call saying Merlin wanted to see us. Wonder what he wanted to see us for?" Sora asked.
"If it involves Estelle, it has to be something we're familiar with." Zero said as they walked outside.
"Hope, Jexi! It's so good to see you all." Estelle said as she walked up to them.
"Nice to see you again too, Estelle, what brings you to Twilight Town?" Hope asked.
"It's...about a book." Estelle said pulling out a familiar book.
"Pooh's storybook?" Jexi asked.
"Sora's not on it." Hope said.
"Neither are any of us." Sunset said.
"Yes, that's why Merlin brought me here, so that we could go into Pooh's world to see what's wrong." Estelle explained.
"So, what say you lads go in with Estelle to find out what's wrong?" Merlin asked.
"Is it okay if I come along as well?" Kohaku asked.
"Appreciate it Kohaku, but the book only lets so many people in. And let's just say a lot of us are connected with Pooh immensely that the book knows us." Hope said.
"Okay. We'll just stay here and...try the food, I guess." Mark said. "Have fun in there."
"The book will only allow up to ten people inside. So I guess it's just me, Hope, Sunset and Estelle." Jexi said. "Though if anyone else…"
"Wait...let me go with you!" Kohaku said.
"Okay, you can come." Jexi said.
"By my count... that's about 8 people." Moltar said.
"8? Hmm. Guess counting the leaders along with Sora, Estelle and Kohaku...that would be eight." Jexi said.
"Make it nine." Naomi said.
"Would anyone else like to come?" Estelle asked.
"I'll go." Frisk said, walking up.
"Okay, that makes 10, counting Sora. Lets jump in. Ready to see Pooh again, Sora?" Hope asked.
"Here we go." Sora said pointing his keyblade at the book at light surrounded the ten as they went inside of the book itself.
The group of ten then arrived in the 100 Acre Wood with Sora, right outside Rabbit's House.
"Wow...we're back...feels like it's been forever." Jexi said.
"So this is the 100 Acre Wood." Ace said as he looked around. "It's beautiful."
"Yeah." Mark added. "So, where do you think the bear himself is?"
"I see him right over there." Hope said seeing a familiar yellow bear sitting by the house sitting on the ground with Piglet.
"Oh bother. Think, think, think." he said thinking.
"Oh, how cute!" Kohaku said.
"Hey, Pooh!" Hope called as the group came up.
"Oh, hello there Sora, everyone." Pooh greeted. "You're home. I see you've brought some new friends with you this time."
"Yeah, lemme introduce you. This is David, Ace, Mark, Kohaku, Naomi and Frisk." Sora said.
"Uh, hi." Mark said. "(Man, this is weird... but in a good way.)"
"Well aren't you two just adorable!" Kohaku said crouching down to them.
"Wait...so you aren't in trouble? We thought something odd might have been going on." Jexi said.
"Hmm...I don't remember doing anything oddish but perhaps I have forgotten." Pooh said.
"Maybe there's someway we can help. Is Rabbit here?" Estelle said.
"I'm right here, Estelle!" Rabbit called as he walked up. "Welcome back, everyone. And we've certainly got trouble here, alright."
"Would that be the Rabbit sort of trouble?" Piglet asked as Rabbit glared at him. "S-s-s-sorry. Please continue."
"Sora!" another voice called.
"Hey, that sounded like Roo. Hey...whoa!" Sora said as a small elephant approached them.
"Is that an… elephant?" Hope asked.
"It's okay...he's my friend." Roo said jumping off from behind.
"Oh. Well, any friend of Roo's is a friend of ours." Sora said. "I'm Sora, it's nice to meet you."
"I'm Lumpy. It's very nice to meet you all too." the elephant said raising his legs as he stepped about.
"Hey...stomp a little louder why dontcha?" said Gopher burrowing up to the surface.
"I'm sorry, Gopher." Lumpy apologized.
"Speaking of bouncing, where's-OOF!" Hope started before he was tackled by a familiar spring loaded tiger. "Never mind, I found him…. Hi, Tigger."
"Well hello there Hopey. Come back for some more bouncin?" he asked bouncing.
"Hey, I wanna bounce too!" Roo said joining in.
"Me too!" Lumpy said joining in too.
"Come on! All would be bouncers are welcome!" Tigger said.
"Ah yes, now I remember. Rabbit, I do believe your trouble is harvest related." Pooh said.
"Harvest? Is something wrong with the garden, Rabbit?" Estelle asked.
"I just need a little extra help harvesting my vegetables. You all can help me with it." Rabbit said.
"Of course, we'd love to help anyway we can." Ace said.
"So, what do we need to do to help pick your veggies, Rabbit?" Hope asked.
"It's simple." Rabbit said. "All you have to do is knock the corresponding vegetable into the garden, and when it matches with the others in the crop, those will get put into the baskets."
"Sounds easy." Kohaku said summoning Philia, her strongest Soma.
"David, how good are you with a golf swing?" Hope asked.
"Not as good as Leonora, admittedly." David said.
"Hmm, why don't one of us toss them to you and you tennis swing them into the garden?" Estelle asked.
"That's a good idea. Wait, how did you know I was a good tennis player?" David asked.
"Just a hunch." Estelle smiled.
"Alright. I'll just leave it at that then." David said getting out his tennis racket.
And so the group got to work harvesting Rabbit's veggies, golf and tennis style.
"Fore!" Hope said smacking a pumpkin and wedging loose a row. "Heh, this is kinda fun, huh David?"
"You know it!" David said as he landed a row of five with a drop shot, slice, flat shot, topspin and lob respectively.
"Great Scott David, where did you learn to play tennis like that?" Mark asked.
"He was a really solid tennis player when he was still in school. You should've seen him in the Aces tournament." Hope said.
"Wow...look at this bountiful harvest of vegetables!" Rabbit said.
"Glad we could help, Rabbit." Sora said.
"Oh you all aren't done. We still need to harvest the fruit." Rabbit said.
"Heh, I'm up for another workout." Hope said.
"Keep them coming!" David said excitedly.
"Frisk, was it? I don't suppose while the fruits are being picked, you would want to help with the flower garden?" Rabbit asked.
"Sure. Just tell me what to do." Frisk said.
"Huh. I thought you'd be a little hesitant about flowers because of… well, you know…" Hope said.
"You'd think that…but Asriel deserved mercy just as much as everyone else." Frisk said. "I never doubted that he'd find himself again, even if it was only for a little while."
"That's some determination Frisk." Hope said. "Never lose it."
The group worked on the fruits and flowers as Frisk and Kohaku worked hard to help the others, them and the residents of the 100 acre wood working together. Soon enough, the fruit was harvested, and with the flowers Frisk picked, Rabbit had a little something special for Pooh: honey.
"So you planted all these flowers just for Pooh? Why?" Estelle asked.
"Isn't it obvious? Flowers mean nectar, nectar means honeybees. And honeybees...mean honey." Gopher said.
"I suppose the ones I have to thank for this delicious honey is you all." Pooh said. "But… you all used to be here in our hearts. Can I ask, why did you all go away for so long?"
"Go away? Oh...so that's what you meant by you're home." Jexi said.
"Whenever I get hungry, I start to think of honey. I was afraid I had forgotten all of you." Pooh said.
"You silly bear." Sora said. "We'd never forget you."
"Oh, good. I want us to be together forever. And seeing as how your new friends helped so much, I feel like they have become our friends as well." Pooh said.
"That's so sweet. Me, David, Mark, Frisk, Naomi and Kohaku see all of you as our friends as well." Ace said as he hugged Pooh.
"When it comes to being friends no matter where we are, what matters is that all of us will be right here." Hope said pointing to Pooh's heart. "It's like David always says. Bonds are eternal."
"That's 'The bonds that unite us are our strength.'" David corrected.
"(Although, now that they mention it...the bond between me and Pooh feels weaker.)" Sora thought.
"Something wrong, Sora?" Pooh asked.
"Oh...it's nothing." Sora said as they looked upon the flying flower petals as they exited the book.
"Wow." Estelle said before she turned to the others. "Jexi, Hope, I want to ask you both a favor."
"Yeah? What is it, Estelle?" Hope asked.
"Would you allow me to accompany you all on your journey?" Estelle asked.
"Well… hmm. What do you think, Jexi?" Hope asked.
"Estelle...the answer is no. Because...what we're doing is more dangerous than the last time we teamed up together." Jexi said.
"I know, Merlin has told me. After everything that has happened since then, I just want to help anyway I can." Estelle said.
"Can't win this one, Jexi." Naomi said.
"Yeah. Take it from me. No use arguing with a woman." David said.
"Ugh...fine...but after this is all over, you're going back home, understood?" Jexi asked.
"I know, think of this as my last hurrah." Estelle said. "I'm sure my swordsmanship and magic will be a great asset to you all once again." She said pulling out a silver blade with a green gem embedded on the back.
"Great to have you with us one last time, Estelle." Hope smiled.
After they exited the book, Naomi was in thought before she looked up to the others.
"You know...spending time in that cheerful place...it's actually unlocked some more memories." Naomi said. "I remember who I talked with. Chirithy."
"A Chirithy?" Sheer said.
"Weren't they like spirit familiars that accompanied warriors?" Hope asked.
"Not warriors...keyblade wielders. They were also a way to monitor the light in someone's heart. I thought they were all gone." Sheer said.
"So, does this mean Naomi became a Keyblade wielder during the time she disappeared?" David asked.
"It's...a little more than that. I remember enough. I'm not just some ordinary person...I'm the reincarnation of Ava." Naomi revealed.
"Of Ava? Wait… Sheer, didn't you say that Ava is one of the five Foretellers from Daybreak Town?" David asked.
"Yes, that's right." Sheer said. "But unlike the others who vanished are presumed perished during the war, Ava and her Dandelions fled to the worlds and universes beyond, losing their memories of that place and living new lives."
"Incredible." Ace said.
"Very incredible." Hope said. "I didn't realize this until now. It's an honor Naomi."
"A pleasure. Though, I should apologize to Swanna. I didn't want her to find out this way." Naomi said.
"Well, Swanna's your Perfect Link. If anyone can understand better than us, it's your own Perfect Link. A bond like that is amazingly strong, and it won't be broken by a reveal like this." Hope said.
"He's right, Naomi. Swanna's your best friend, nothing could ever change that, nothing." Ace said. "Your heart is your guiding key."
"Of course it is. Master says that to all of his apprentices." Naomi said giggling. "But… That's also why Maleficent's search for this black box worries me. I'm worried about what would happen if someone like her got her hands on it."
"Well then, it's a good thing only that Luxu guy knows where it is. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't allow it to fall into her hands." Mark said.
"Luxu… He was always so enigmatic. No one could really tell what he was really thinking." Naomi said. "In fact, the only reason the first Keyblade War started in the first place was...because of that book and the other Foretellers."
"Wait...are you saying...Luxu manipulated the others into starting the war?" Frisk asked.
"No...Luxu had no role in the war. He was actually well gone before the war even started. The war didn't begin to escalate till the Master vanished one day." Naomi said. "Then there's the possibility of a traitor when we discovered a Nightmare. Who the traitor really was, no one could say for sure. But, that's exactly what caused them to fight each other."
"Hmm... I don't know about you guys, but Luxu is starting to sound less and less like a trustworthy person. Naomi, did he take the box before or after the Master disappeared?" Mark asked.
"I don't know. We never spoke with him often so I can't say for sure." Naomi said.
"Then I guess we'll have to keep looking for clues. You in, Naomi?" Hope asked.
"Of course. Now that I have regained these memories, I can fight alongside Swanna and all of you like I should have from the start." Naomi said.
"Great. Now, what say we get back to work?" Mark asked.
"Agreed. We've had enough time to rest...time to get back to work." Jexi said.
