In The Lanes Between
Sora, Riku and Kairi were riding their gliders and turning to think of their next move.
"Now what do we do?" Kairi asked.
"There's only one Vessel of Darkness left." Sora said.
"Well we better come up with something soon because look." Riku said pointing. They looked at where Riku was pointing and saw Twilight Town coming up. "So do you guys think we should stop here?"
"Well it would be nice to see Hayner and the gang again." Sora said.
"And we might also find something in Ansem's notices." Kairi said.
"Then I take it we're going to stop here." Riku said.
"Yea let's go." Sora said.
Twilight Town: Tram Common
The moment they landed they started to look around.
"It's nice to be back here." Sora said.
"Yeah! But I wonder how Hayner and the guys are doing." Kairi asked.
"Why don't you ask us?" A voice said. They turned around and saw Hayner, Pence and Olette standing behind them. Hayner walked up to them with a smile on his face. "You guys would have called."
"Well we didn't know we were coming." Sora said smiling back.
"And I take it you are Riku?" Olette said.
"Yeah and you guy must be Hayner, Pence and Olette." Riku said.
"Yeah that's us." Pence said.
"And I see that you managed to find Kairi as well." Hayner said.
"Yeah it turns out that the guy who grabbed me just wanted to find his best friend." Kairi said.
"Then what did it have to do with you?" Pence asked.
"It's a long story." Riku said.
"Okay but where are Donald and Goofy?" Olette asked.
"Oh their with the King on a mission." Sora said.
"And you're here because why?" Hayner said.
"Because we're on a mission of our own." Sora said.
For the next few minutes they explained why they had come to Twilight Town.
"Sounds like you guy could use some help." Hayner said.
"No it is way too dangerous." Riku said.
"Well we're going with you if you like it or not." Olette said.
"They might as well come with us." Sora said.
"Sora they can't its dangerous." Riku said.
"I know but they're not going to take no for answer and we're wasting time arguing about it." Sora said.
"Sora right every minute we waste gives the Organization the upper hand." Kairi said.
Riku looked like he wanted to argue some more. But he knew when he was defeated.
"Fine!" Riku sighed.
"So where do we start?" Pence asked.
"At the Mansion we might find something in Ansem's old records." Riku said.
Twilight Town: The Old Mansion
They soon came into the gates of the old mansion. They were about to enter the courtyard when a group of Dusks, Creepers, Snipers and three Berserker appeared out of nowhere.
"Looks like the Organization new we would come here." Sora said summoning his Keyblade.
"Or there is something they want here." Riku said as he and Kairi summoned their Keyblades.
"You three better get somewhere safe." Kairi said.
Hayner, Pence and Olette then ran into the courtyard and hid in some bushes.
"Alright bring it on." Sora said.
Then the three of them charged at them. Two Ducks flew towards them but both Riku and Kairi sliced their Keyblades at them. Sora then jumped into the air and casted a Firaga spell blasting several Creepers. A Sniper then came out of nowhere and started shooting at Sora. Sora blocked the shots but the impact made him to crash down onto the ground. Then the Sniper took aim at Sora and was about to fire but then Kairi's Keyblade sliced right through it.
"Do I have to save you every time you Lazy Bum?" Kairi asked catching her Keyblade.
"It would seem so." Sora said as he got up.
A Berserker then charged at them ready to slam its claymore at them. But Riku's Keyblade came out from nowhere and landed in the middle of its chest.
"Will you two stay focus?" Riku said blasting a couple of Snipers.
"We are focused but where getting overrun." Sora said slicing a Dusk.
Then the last two Berserkers came at them ready to hit them with their claymores. But then one of them got caught on fire. The other Berserker turned around to see what was going on when it got hit by a powerful beam of light which went straight through it. Then the remaining Nobody's got sliced apart by something.
Sora, Riku and Kairi looked at each other confused but then they saw Roxas and Lea standing where the Berserkers once stood holding their Keyblades. They then turned to look behind them and saw Naminé and Xion standing there holding their Keyblades as well.
"Looks like you guys had the same idea as us." Lea said.
"Guess great minds think alike." Riku said.
"Is it alright for use to come out?" Hayner asked.
"Yeah it's safe to come out." Sora said.
Hayner, Pence and Olette then came out from their hiding place. Hayner then looked at Lea with an angry glare.
"So you are helping them or is it a trick to kidnap our friends again?" Hayner asked.
"Hey Hayner why don't we don't tick off a guy twice or size and who took down those monsters?" Pence said.
"Don't worry kid I wasn't expecting a warm welcome." Lea said. He then noticed that Hayner was not caring down. "Besides I only kidnapped Kairi to help get my best friend back and he is right here." Lea explained pointing at Roxas.
"Yeah I remember you. You did the Grandstander one time here about two years ago." Hayner said.
"Hey now I remember both you two came here looking for a friend two years ago as well." Pence said.
"Then he must be telling the truth about not here to kidnap Kairi." Olette said.
"Okay fine but I'm keeping an eye on you." Hayner said glaring at Lea.
"I'm shaking in my boots." Lea said sarcastically.
"So here's the plan Kairi will take the girls and look around the building in chase there's a secret room Ansme kept hidden." Riku said.
"And what's the rest of us doing?" Lea asked.
"We're going to have a look at Ansme's computer." Riku said.
Twilight Town: Computer Room
Sora took the time to walk to the computer room to tell Lea and Roxas about recent advents.
"That bad but I'm afraid it's a lot worse." Lea said.
"What do you mean?" Sora asked.
"We got word from the king that they got Belle to." Roxas said.
"What but I would have thought with Beast's help they could have stopped them cold." Sora said.
"Yeah well it turns out that Beast is no longer a beast." Lea said.
"You mean-." Sora was saying.
"That he managed to break his curse yes." Roxas said.
"Poor time for it." Lea said.
"So what's the King doing now?" Sora asked.
"He thinks he knows where the Organization is going to attack next." Lea said.
They then entered the room. Pence then quickly went to the computer console and started to hack into it.
"I'm in but I'm not sure what I'm looking for." Pence said.
"Anything about Vessels of Darkness." Riku said.
For the next few minutes Pence was typing on the computer console. While Pence was hacking the computer Lea looked a little uneasy.
"You know this silence is making me very uneasy." Lea said.
"I know what you mean I would have thought that the Organization would have tried something by now." Sora said.
"Ha got it." Pence said.
"You found something?" Riku asked.
"I think so listen to this." Pence said. He then began to read the report that Ansme had made. "Over the time that Naminé had being repairing Sora's memories I had found a ring with some kind of dark aura around. I have tested it and found it that it has to some kind of connection with the Princess of Heart. I believe its power is too dangerous to be left lying around so I have locked it up in a secret room where only I or a relative of mine can open it."
"Well at least we known it's here." Sora said.
"Hey but it also says that only he or a relative can open the room where it can be found." Hayner said.
"Except that Kairi is Ansme's niece." Sora said. Then suddenly something clicked in Sora's head. He looked at Riku who seemed to have come up with the same thought. "You think what I'm thinking."
"If we are then we are in trouble." Riku said.
"What are you two talking about?" Hayner asked.
"Think about the moment we got here we were attacked by Nobody's. But once we entered one has tried to stop us." Riku said.
"So!" Hayner asked confused.
"So they wanted us to get here and think that the Organization is here-." Riku explained.
"We would split up to cover more ground." Roxas finished.
"Then they secretly lead the group Kairi is in to the secret room so she can open it." Lea said realising what they were getting at.
"Then grab the ring and Kairi at the same time." Sora said.
At that moment Olette came running down the stairs panting for breath.
"Found hidden room… got attacked by a guy in black… Kairi, Naminé and Xion fighting him… came down to warn you." Olette said panting.
"Hayner you and Pence stay with Olette." Riku said.
Then the four of them ran up the stairs.
Twilight Town: Secret Room
In the room Kairi, Naminé and Xion all of whom were holding their Keyblades where battling Young Xehanort who was also holding his Keybalde. Behind Kairi, Naminé and Xion was a desk and in an orb sat a black ring.
"I hope Olette is able to find the boys." Xion said before she was knocked off her feet by a Mega flare attack.
"Don't worry they'll come." Kairi said helping Xion up.
Then Young Xehanort summoned a tornado that was heading for the two of them. But Naminé in front of it and casted a protect spell.
"Better move I can't hold it back for long." Naminé said.
Young Xehanort then Jumped back and released an X-shaped shockwave from his Keyblade. The shockwave hit the tornado and pushed it forwards shattering Naminé protect spell. The tornado spun Naminé around and slammed her into a wall. Young Xehanort then vanished from sight.
"Where did he go?" Xion asked.
"If I knew I would have hit him." Kairi said.
For the next few moments nothing happened. But Kairi felt some movement near the desk and threw her Keyblade at it. Her Keyblade hit something and then Young Xehanort reappeared holding his hand in pain.
"Most impressive you really have gotten more powerful." Young Xehanort said.
He then jumped into the air and casts a lasso of energy that was heading for Kairi. Kairi managed to dodge it but Xion was caught instead he then pulls her toward him a delivered a few quick slash. Once he and realised her Xion crashed down on to the floor unconscious.
"You won't win this war." Kairi said.
"But we are winning you and the others have only slowed us down. But soon our dreams will take form." Young Xehanort said.
He then summons four copies of himself and the copies headed straight for Kairi. Kairi tried to fight make but she was getting overwhelmed. But then four Keyblades came out from nowhere and slammed into the copies making them disappear.
Kairi turned to where they came from and saw standing in the doorway was Sora, Riku, Roxas and Lea.
"Looks like we got here just in time." Sora said.
"I'm afraid not fast enough." A voice said. They turned to see Young Xehanort holding the ring in his hand. "Now is the time to make my leave."
Then he opened a Corridor to Darkness. But before anyone could stop him he entered it. Both Roxas and Lea then ran over Naminé and Xion and helped them up.
"They've do it again." Riku said slamming his fist into the wall.
"So what do we do now?" Xion asked as she got to her feet.
"They'll be after Kairi next." Sora said.
"I'm not going to hide from them if that is what you are thinking." Kairi said angrily.
"I wasn't thinking that at all." Sora said looking a little hurt.
"Oh sorry." Kairi said blushing.
"It would only slow them down anyway and next time they'll becoming at her with full force." Lea said.
"So what do we do?" Sora asked.
Twilight Town: The Old Mansion
Moments later they were outside saying goodbye to Hayner, Pence and Olette.
"So what are you guys going to do now?" Hayner asked.
"Me, Riku and Kairi are going to meet up with the King and deicide on what to do next. Meanwhile Roxas, Naminé, Xion and Lea are going to find three other friends of ours and tell them what has happened." Sora said.
"I just wish there was some way we can help." Olette said.
"You guys have done more than enough." Riku said.
"Time for us to leave." Lea said and opened a Corridor to Darkness.
"Hey!" Hayner said. Lea turned to face him. "I just want to say I'm sorry for the way I treated you."
"It's alright I would have probably done the same to." Lea said smiling.
"Hope we see you guys again." Hayner said smiling back.
"I hope so to." Roxas said.
Then he, Naminé, Xion and Lea entered the Corridor to Darkness. Once it disappeared Sora, Riku and Kairi summoned their armour and gliders.
"The same does for you guys." Hayner said.
"Don't worry we'll come and see you guys." Sora said.
Then Sora, Riku and Kairi then flew into the sky and entered a portal.
