Twilight Town at this time of day was suddenly a bustle. Most people were on their way to the station for work, or school, or whatever they needed to attend daily. This slowed Leon, Ellie and Yuffie down considerably, and was going to affect their search for Heartless just as badly. "There's no way we'll be able to find the Heartless in these crowds" Ellie said, frustrated with the commotion.

"We'll have to wait for everyone to be gone before doing anything then." Said Leon, equally annoyed. They all found a quiet place to sit near the station, and they watched the people rush past them and onto the trains. Minutes went by, then it was hours. The three occupied themselves by talking about what they thought the Heartless might be doing here, but not in force. It was strange behavior because usually the Heartless attack worlds in force.

Leon suggested the world was closed off but a few Heartless kept leaking through by accident. Yuffie believed they were coming into a closed world through leaks, but not by accident, and assumed they had a purpose, and were being directed by someone or something that didn't want to be noticed. Ellie suggested that maybe there were no Heartless here, and what they think may be Heartless at the station are in fact more of the fast and agile creatures that she had fought back in the courtyard.

It didn't feel like a very long wait with all their debating, and they agreed that all are possible, but maintained strong beliefs that their own theories were the most likely. They noticed the noise had died down, and now the station was clear of lines and talking and waiting. "Time to go" Ellie said as she stood up. They all moved in swiftly to look around. There was nobody there save the ticket sellers.

"What's this?" Leon said, kneeling by a puddle of black ooze.

"Get away from it!" Ellie shouted, unsheathing her Keyblade. Leon quickly backed off and took out his own weapon, Yuffie the same. "From what I've gather, those things are Heartless portals." She spoke too soon. A Heartless climbed out of the ooze and a dozen more followed. Thankfully, the station had closed up minutes before, so the Heartless weren't spotted by anyone. Leon, Ellie, and Yuffie dispatched the unwelcome Heartless and the puddle faded.

"That was definitely Heartless." Yuffie stated. There was a chill in the air, but nothing changed about their surroundings. In fact, they all realized that despite hours of waiting for the crowds to clear up, the sun had stayed in the same place. They looked at each other with confusion, and Ellie spoke up.

"Do you guys notice it too?"

"Yes, yes I do" said Leon.

"Uh huh" Yuffie said, nodding and looking up at the sun.

"What do you think it is?" Ellie asked them.

"No idea, but there's definitely more to this world than we suspected." Yuffie said. Leon simply shook his head.

Jacob brought Cid to see his Gummi. Immediately, Cid was curious. Its design was unique, and he'd never seen anything quite like it before. None of the Gummi parts he held at his own shop could customize a fully built Gummi to look like this one, never mind perform like it did.

Its wings curved upwards on one half and down on the other. The nose was a cone, en-crested with many different modules which made the Gummi faster, more agile and more powerful. The cockpit had room for three - the average Gummi's space - However the storage was immense. Every chair had its own compartment, and there were lockers by the door. There was not one, not two, but three chests under the controls. This Gummi had enough storage to live in it. The Tail of the ship was shaped like fishes, and was modified with flares. Its weapons were mounted on the top and the bottom. No doubt the previous owners had troubles with Heartless when flying their Gummi, Cid deducted.

"The closest thing I have to knowing who the previous owner was is this notebook I found. I came across it at this tower, and everything inside was ransacked. Whoever wrote this book must also own the Gummi." Jacob said. He showed the notebook to Cid, and Cid proceeded to inspect it.

"Do you mind?" Cid asked.

"Not at all" Jacob replied, handing it over. Cid flicked through the pages, frantically looking for a name. Instead he became interested in the contents, and realized that there was no name to be found. "I didn't find a name either. I've gone through every page in that notebook and not one mention of the author is there." Cid closed the book, almost disappointed.

"It didn't talk much about this Gummi specifically. It leads me to assume that they knew enough about their own Gummi, that they didn't need to write it down. However if they did, then they wouldn't have wrote as much as they have. Jacob, where are you from?"

"I came from an island, but one night something terrible happened. That notebook said The Heartless devour worlds... Is that true?"

Cid sighed, "I regret to tell you that yes. Yes it's true, Jacob." Jacob sat down in one of the chairs in the Gummi. Cid also sat down, still examining it. Jacob's thoughts focused on Ellie, and whether or not he'd see her again. "Many people have lost their worlds, recently. But there's still hope. I've met the Keybearer, and they're out there right now saving the worlds and working to destroy the Heartless!"

Jacob heard a key word from Cid. "Keybearer?! You mind kind of like this" He summoned his Keyblade and stood up. Cid also stood up with excitement as his eyes widened.

"Another Keybearer?!" Cid said, "I didn't think I'd ever see two in one week! Well, I- I didn't think I'd see one..."

"Where did the other Keybearer go? How can I find them? What exactly is the Keybearer?" Jacob couldn't fit in enough questions, there was so much he wanted and needed to know. Cid felt overwhelmed at did one at a time, starting with what he knew best.

"The Keybearer didn't have a specific course, I couldn't tell you where they went. You could find them by going to different worlds yourself, asking about them though." Jacob nodded, listening and writing it down in the empty pages of the notebook. "The Keybearer is someone that wields the Keyblade like the one you possess. With it, you can close the Keyholes to worlds, which will prevent the Heartless from destroying them."

Jacob looked through the notebook and at the various worlds in it. "So will every world have a Keyhole?"

"Yes, and some may have already been closed before you got there by the Keybearer you're looking for. Jacob, I wish you all the best of luck." Cid walked out of the Gummi and looked back up at Jacob.

"Thank you, Cid." Jacob waved as the doors closed. Cid waved back, and when the doors closed, that Gummi took off. Everything was falling into place and Jacob felt closer to finding Ellie. He sat down, consulted the notebook, and chose his next destination...
