The next thing they knew, Matt, Stitch, and Pikachu landed with a thud on the floor of Merlin's house. To their surprise, he was the only one there waiting for them.

"Oww," Stitch and Pikachu both said.

"Man, he really should give us some landing gear next time," Matt said while brushing the dust off his clothes.

"Welcome back my lads," Merlin greeted them. "I'm sure the Master Yen Sid gave you some insight, hmmm?"

"You could say that," Pikachu said.

"Wesa gotsa upgraded," Stitch said while showing off their new gear.

"Impressive, very impressive indeed," Merlin said. "Now there is something else I wish to do for you, Matt."

"What would that be?" the teen asked curiously.

"How much do you believe in magic?"

"Well…," Matt replied. He thought about it for a moment. "To be honest I'm just about willing to believe anything at this point."

"I'm glad you say so, because I'm willing to teach you a spell or two to aid you on your journey to find your friend."

"Really?" Matt asked. "That's great! I'd be glad to. One thing first, though. Where is everyone?"

Merlin sighed. "Leon and the rest of the committee went out to investigate something in the city. However, they should return very soon. Until then, we have the place all to ourselves."

"Ok."

Now then, are you all ready to be dazzled?" The trio all nodded yes.

Merlin went on to teach only two spells to Matt("Start slowly and progress, my lad!"). They included Firaga, the fire spell, and Blizzaga for ice power. Each required the same amount of concentration as it took some of Matt's energy in order to use it.

"Now, of course you must use those spells wisely due to you don't have too much magic right now."

Matt nodded and said, "Got it. Thanks Merlin, we'll be sure to put these spells to good use."

Suddenly, Merlin's door burst open. Yuffie slowly walked in and looked like she was about to collapse. Matt, Stitch, and Pikachu quickly rushed to her aid.

"Huh? Yousa OK?" Stitch asked.

"Yuffie, what happened to you?" Matt added.

"Hold on a minute," Merlin said. "Let's get the poor girl to lie down. She looks utterly exhausted."

"I'm just fine, Merlin," Yuffie said weakly. "Matt…"

"What? What is it? Where are the others?"

"We noticed an unusual energy reading in town, so we all went to investigate. Of course we had to fight our way through Heartless, but what's new right? So we got to the sight of the energy reading and we found…we found…"

"Found what?" Matt asked.

Yuffie gave them a small smile. "We found Donald and Goofy…but we didn't see Sora, Riku, or Kairi."

Matt was shaking with excitement. "You mean they just appeared out of nowhere?"

"Yes. Leon couldn't believe it. Problem was that they couldn't remember who they were, and they weren't alone. Some guy in a black coat came and summoned a group of Nobodies. Leon told me to run and get you. That's the last I saw of them…" She layed back down and rested her head against the pillow.

The trio couldn't believe it. They knew deep down this was something that they couldn't miss.

"Now just wait a minute," Merlin said.

It was too late; Matt, Stitch, and Pikachu had already sprinted out the door into the city.

Oh boy! Donald and Goofy are ok? What about Leon and the others? Find out soon!

Peace out,
