Maleficent projects herself to Riku who is in the captain's quarters of Hooks ship.

"Riku" said Maleficent "You and Hook should make your way back here. We found the sixth princess of heart."

"What about the seventh?" said Riku

"Aimala is taking care of that right now. You just need to hurry back so we can finalize our plan."

"Ok"

"And make sure you leave any unnecessary baggage behind."

"Understood" said Riku. Maleficent then disappears. Hook walks into the room shortly after.

"What seems to be the problem Riku" asked Hook

"Maleficent just contacted me" said Riku "She's found all the princesses of heart."

"What? So Wendy's not one of the chosen ones?"

"There are only seven and according to Maleficent she's not one of them. Hoist anchor as soon as possible. Leave all the dead weight behind including her."

"After the trouble of capturing her? And why those seven? What is Maleficent planning anyway?"

"Who knows? As long as it means getting Kairi's heart back, I couldn't care less."

"You're wasting your time! The Heartless have devoured that girl's heart. I'll stake me other hand it's lost forever."

"I will find it no matter what."

"Captain" a voice suddenly sounds in the room. Hook turns and walks over to a megaphone device.

"What is it Smee?" said Hook

"The prisoners have escaped and what's more is that Peter Pan's with them" said Smee

"Blast that Peter Pan. Alright bring the hostages to me cabin, Smee! Hop to it!"

Back in the castle, Maleficent puts Belle in a class coffin strapped to the wall. All the other princesses that were captured are in these coffins as well and they are all strapped to the wall. All of them are unconscious inside the chamber. Maleficent looks around and admires the work. She them walks into the next room and a large door in the shape of a heartless symbol lies in front of her. She admires the door and gives a faint smile.

"Now I just need one more" she says to herself. "I should tell Riku about the keyblade also that will surely make things easier when it comes to dealing with Sora. Then once the door is open I will obtain Kingdom Hearts and be able to rule all worlds." Maleficent starts laughing

Back on Hook's ship, Riku is carrying Kairi. Hook has an unconscious Wendy locked in a storage room under the captain's quarters. Sora is close behind Riku.

"Riku" yells Sora

A dark shadow appears right under Riku and a dark Sora pops out from the Shadow. Sora fights off the Shadow while Riku sinks into the darkness with Kairi. Riku does his best to navigate in the dark realm not sure of where he was but knew where he was going. He sees the exit and travels through it collapsing on the floor of the castle. Maleficent walks into the room and sees Riku collapsed on the floor with Kairi right beside him. Maleficent levitates Kairi into the room with the other princesses. Riku slowly gets up breathing really hard.

"What happened?" asked Maleficent

"Sora broke out of prison and caused havoc on the ship" said Riku

"So Hooks still there dealing with Sora?"

"Yes"

Riku then collapses to his knees breathing really hard.

"It was reckless to bring her here without at least using a vessel" said Maleficent "You have not yet mastered the darkness to attempt such things. Remember, relying too heavily on the dark powers could cost you your heart."

Just then a loud roar is heard throughout the castle.

"What was that?" asked Riku

"Interesting we have a cast away. Though his world perished, his heart did not. When Aimala took the princess from his castle, he apparently followed her here through sheer force of will. But fear not no harm will come to you. He's no match for your power."

"My power?"

"Yes the untapped power that lies within you. It's time you awakened that power my child and realize your full potential."

Riku starts glowing. He feels power coursing through his veins. The darkness then surrounds his body. When the darkness dissipates, Riku has on a black and blue suit with red by the arms. There is a heartless symbol on his chest as well. Riku admires the suit and starts to smile.

"With this you can take back the keyblade that Sora stole from you as well" said Maleficent

"Where's Aimala?" asked Riku

"She's sleeping right now. Capturing the last princess wore her out. She should be up in a couple of minutes."

"Was the intruder too much for her?"

"She had trouble with him."

"So I'm stronger then her if you think I can beat this intruder."

"You should hurry. There's no telling when Sora will get here."

"You also must have heard the keyblade thing from her as well. Even without this power I can take the keyblade from Sora" Riku returns to his normal self. "I'll prove it to you. I don't need power to take back what's originally mine. Riku then walks out of the room to face the Beast. Maleficent squeezes her staff real tight.

"That boy is getting too full of himself. He will lose himself in the darkness just as Jafar did. I better check on Aimala" Maleficent walks out the room and goes to check on her daughter t see how she has recovered.
