Chapter 26: The Past
In a world that looks black and white Merlin's door sends out Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, and Goofy into the black and white world and their appearances have changed as well.
Ky still looks the same but other than being black and white he now has black dotted eyes and he's wearing the clothes he wore during his first adventure while also wearing cartoony gloves.
Noel also still looks the same but while being black and white her eyes are also black dotted and she's wearing the clothes she wore during her first adventure and she's also wearing cartoony gloves.
Sora looks the same as well but his eyes are also black dotted and he's now wearing a black hooded top with white short sleeves, different shorts, different shoes, and cartoony gloves.
Donald now appears to be what he looked like in the classic cartoons and is now wearing his classic sailor outfit.
Goofy also appears to be what he looked like in the classic cartoons and is now wearing a white sleeveless vest, his classic hat, and cartoony gloves, and cartoony shoes.
As the group look around Goofy finds something.
"Hey, look! There's the Cornerstone of Light!" Goofy said pointing at the very same Cornerstone of Light.
As Ky, Noel, and Sora examine the Cornerstone they look at their new appearances.
"Just what's going on here?" Ky asked.
"Yeah. Everything's all black and white." Sora said.
"This might be this special Merlin just said." Noel said.
"Hey, this looks just kinda like, uh…um…" Donald tries to come up with a best word.
"Déjà vu?" Goofy suggested.
"Yeah! That's it!" Donald said.
"Really? Have you been here before?" Sora asked.
"You feel nostalgic?" Ky asked.
Just then someone comes in and it's a big black cat wearing one overall and a steamer shaped hat but then he stops and looks at the group.
"Hey, you! Seen any bad guys 'round here?" The cat asked.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy then point at the cat shocking him.
"Why I oughta…" The cat stops talking. "Hmph! I don't have time to waste on you punks! I'll just go easy on ya!" The cat said and then leaves.
"Well, there's our villain!" Sora said and Donald and Goofy nod.
"I don't think that's…Pete." Noel said.
"How can ya tell? He looks just like Pete." Ky said.
"I know, but he looks…different. He doesn't even recognize us." Noel said.
"Well, he's still Pete, and that's good enough for us." Sora said.
"Let's go after him!" Donald said as the three leave.
"Wait!" Noel called but they're already gone.
"C'mon." Ky said.
Ky and Noel follow Sora, Donald, and Goofy to a pier area and they find the three confronting 'Pete'.
"What's with you squirts?! Ya got some kinda bone to pick with me?" 'Pete' asked.
"More than one!" Sora said.
"Them's fightin' words!" 'Pete' said.
Just then 'Pete' hears something and goes on his way but then Sora, Donald, and Goofy block the way with their weapons in hand.
"Not so fast!" Sora said.
"Yeah!" Donald said.
"Sora! Wait!" Noel said as she gets between the trio and 'Pete'.
"Noel, what're you doing?! That's Pete!" Sora said.
"But, I don't think this is the Pete we're looking for. Please, don't do anything rash…" Noel said.
"But he looks and sounds like him!" Donald said.
"Hey, ya punks! Get outta my way! I'm tryin' to find some runt!" 'Pete' said.
"Well, your trouble has just been saved, because we're what you're gonna deal with!" Sora said.
"Sora, no!" Noel said.
"Dammit…hey! Can't you three just stop for one minute?!" Ky asked but Sora, Donald, and Goofy confront 'Pete' again. "Crap…" Ky said.
"Oh, dear…" Noel said.
(Boss Theme: Rowdy Rumble)
'Pete' tries to deliver a punch but Sora slashes with Kingdom Key while Donald casts Thunder while Goofy uses Shield Torpedo and they send 'Pete' flying but 'Pete' charges at the trio to attack but Sora delivers three vertical slashes with Kingdom Key and then delivers an edge slash while Donald whacks with his staff while Goofy bashes with his shield and the three send 'Pete' flying again and knock him back and he's now sitting on the ground.
"Sora! What have you done?!" Noel demanded.
"What? We just took down Pete." Sora said.
"Oh, damn…" Ky said.
"What's you punks' beef with me anyway?" 'Pete' asked and looks at the five. "Who're ya? Ya new 'round here?" 'Pete' asked.
"Cut the act!" Sora said.
'Pete' hears the noise again and tries to get up and move but then he starts feeling a pain in his head from the attacks he got and sits back down to tend to his head.
"Ow!" 'Pete' said tending his head.
"Oh, are you alright?" Noel asked.
"Ya know, somethin' doesn't seem quite right here. Are ya sure you're Pete?" Goofy asked.
"Well, OF COURSE I'm Pete! I'm the captain of the steamboat! Now, stop botherin' me, see?!" Pete said but his head starts to hurt again. "So hit the road, all of ya! I gotta find the l'il runt what stole my boat!" Pete said.
"Gawrsh, maybe Noel was right after all." Goofy said.
"NOW, you guys are realizing you made a mistake?!" Ky asked.
"Oh, c'mon. It was just a little mistake." Sora said.
"It wasn't a little! You straight out believed him as a bad guy. Have you even noticed that he didn't even call any Heartless to attack us?" Noel said.
"We're sorry!" Donald said.
"Don't apologize to me. You should say 'sorry' to the good Pete!" Noel said.
"Sorry we attacked ya like that, Capt'n Pete." Goofy said.
"Oh, yeah? Well, if you're really sorry, then go find my steamboat." Pete said.
"Y-Yes, sir!" Sora said.
"You got it!" Ky said.
"Of course. It's the least we can do for you." Noel said looking at Sora, Donald, and Goofy.
"Aw, phooey. Give us a break, Noel!" Donald said.
"Oh, my achin' back!" Pete said as he feels pain on his back and falls down.
"Oh, you poor guy. I'll help you." Noel said as she tends to Pete's back.
(World of Timeless River)
(Field Theme: Monochrome Dreams)
(Timeless River: Cornerstone Hill)
Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, and Goofy return to where they came in which is called Cornerstone Hill.
"I thought for sure Pete was the bad guy." Sora said.
"Aw, that would be too easy." Donald said.
"Too bad. Not to mention, we didn't even find that door after finding that Pete." Ky said.
"C'mon, fellas. Let's go try to find that steamboat." Goofy said.
"I guess we DID say we would…" Sora said.
"Because you owed it to him for attacking him!" Noel said.
"Let it go." Donald said.
"Guys, we have to find that door, remember?" Ky said.
"That's right." Noel said.
"But I don't see any doors." Donald looking around.
"Hey, what's this?" Sora asked looking at something and the group find a floating curtain.
"I can't see a thing." Ky said.
"Maybe if we open the curtains…" Noel said.
Donald opens the curtains and it shows something.
In the same Cornerstone Hill area there are four different doors and there are Black Xetis and Heartless that are going into the four doors before they disappear and then Merlin's door sends Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, and Goofy into the black and white world.
"Hey, look! There's the Cornerstone of Light!" Goofy said.
"Just what's going on here?" Ky asked.
"Yeah. Everything's black and white." Sora said.
"This might be this special world Merlin said." Noel said.
"Hey, this looks just kinda like, uh…um…" Donald tries to come up with a good word.
"Déjà vu?" Goofy suggested.
"Yeah! That's it!" Donald said.
"Really? Have you been here before?" Sora asked.
After watching what happened.
"What was that?" Sora asked.
"Those were Heartless and Black Xetis goin' out…" Goofy said.
"…And us coming in." Noel said.
"But, what does it mean?" Ky asked.
Donald tries to open the curtains again but nothing.
The group then see the same four doors around the area and one is a construction site, the other is a small city, the other is a burning building, and the last is a house.
"We should get rid of the Heartless and the Black Xetis." Sora said.
"Then what?" Ky asked.
"We'll worry about that late, I suppose." Noel said.
The group go for one of the four doors and it's the construction site door.
(Timeless River: Construction Site)
The group are now on what looks like a construction platform and they look around the construction building.
"Just what're they building?" Sora asked.
"Whatever it is, it's HUGE!" Ky said.
As the group look around hammer shaped Heartless and Black Xetis that look like trolls carrying mallets appear.
"Oh, no…" Noel said.
"Back off!" Donald yelled.
Before the Black Xetis and the Heartless could attack someone comes swinging across and attacks the Black Xetis and the Heartless and the person swinging is what looks like a black mouse wearing only shorts and white gloves.
"Who was that?" Ky asked.
"The King!" Donald said.
"That's your King…?" Noel asked.
"It looks like him, but gee, he seems kinda different somehow…" Goofy said and the black mouse waves at the group and leaves.
Just then more hammer Heartless and Troll Black Xetis appear from the upper part of the construction building.
"Black Xetis!" Ky said.
"Heartless!" Sora said.
"This isn't good… Thank you for your help." Noel said.
"Yeah! You really saved the day!" Sora said.
The Hammer Heartless and the Troll Black Xetis come down to confront the group.
(Battle Theme: Old Friends, Old Rivals)
"Now, it's our turn!" Ky said.
"Let's get rid of these Heartless and Black Xetis!" Sora said.
(Information: Defeat the Black Xetis and the Heartless before the scaffolding falls!)
The Troll Black Xetis whack at the group with their mallets while the Hammer Heartless deliver a slam with their hammerheads but Ky delivers diagonal slashes with Dawn of Hope and then casts Gravity while Noel casts Aero to send them upward while Sora aerial slashes with Kingdom Key but the Troll Black Xetis slam with their mallets and unleash shock waves while the Hammer Heartless slam their hammerheads again but Donald casts Fire while Goofy uses Goofy Turbo but the Troll Black Xetis keep whacking with their mallets causing damage to the platform while the Hammer Heartless slam with their hammerheads but Donald casts Thunder while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado while Sora triple slashes with Kingdom Key and then delivers a vertical slash while Noel horizontal slashes with Radiant Salvation and then casts Blizzard while Ky delivers two side slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a slide kick and a lower horizontal slash and the group defeat all of the Black Xetis and the Heartless.
"Serves you right!" Ky said.
"How'd ya like that?" Sora said.
Just then the black mouse known as Mickey comes in and shakes Ky's, Noel's, and Sora's hands in thanks and then waves at the group and leaves.
"Uh, you're welcome…?" Ky said.
"Hey, look!" Goofy said pointing at the same floating curtain.
"It's the same one." Noel said.
Donald opens the curtain and it reveals something.
In what looks like a dark and evil castle someone is talking to another.
"You absolute idiot! You've managed to fail at everything! And, what's more, you foolishly thought you could take my place while I was away." A voice said and it's a female voice. "Well, as of now, you're finished! Mark my words, there will be NO place for you when our time comes! Perhaps I was wise to ally myself with those other villains! Not only will they have their place, but they'll take yours as well!" The female voice said as the person starts to walk away. "Useless, imbecile!" The female voice said as she leaves.
"B-But I…" The other voice stops talking.
After watching what happened the group return to the Cornerstone Hill.
"What…?" Sora asked.
"Somebody sure seemed angry." Goofy said.
"Yeah, at someone else." Ky said.
"I don't understand." Donald said.
"What could this mean…?" Noel asked.
"Let's just try to clear out the Heartless and the Black Xetis." Sora said.
"Fine by me. This world's okay, but we only got three doors to check." Ky said.
The group go for the next door which is the small town door and they enter it.
(Timeless River: Lilliput)
The group are now in a small town and while looking around they realize they're grown big.
"What's happened…?" Noel asked.
"The town's shrunk!" Sora said.
"Or, maybe do ya think we just got bigger?" Goofy asked.
"No idea." Ky said and then he finds a big cannon tower.
"Hey, get a load of those toy cannons!" Sora said.
As the group examine the cannon tower they find Mickey again who is trying to warn the group about something.
"What's he saying?" Sora asked.
"You got me! Is your King always a mute?" Ky asked.
"No! I don't get it." Donald said.
"Guys…!" Noel said pointing at something.
Just then Heartless in airplanes appear and same goes for Black Xetis that look like ravens.
"Hey, Black Xetis and Heartless!" Sora said.
(Information: Defeat all of the Black Xetis and Heartless while protecting the town!)
The Raven Black Xetis fly around the group and then throw out black feathers at the group while the Airplane Heartless begin firing bullets but Sora aerial slashes with Kingdom Key and then delivers an aerial spin slash while Donald casts Earth but the Raven Black Xetis peck at the group with their beaks but Goofy uses Goofy Bash while Noel slashes with Radiant Salvation and then casts Gravity but the Airplane Heartless air dive attack but Ky triple slashes with Dawn of Hope and then stomps on the cannon tower and the cannons fire at the Black Xetis and the Heartless allowing Donald to casts Aero while Goofy bashes with his shield but the Raven Black Xetis attack with their talons while the Airplane Heartless keep firing bullets but Noel casts a spell to stop time and freeze the Black Xetis and the Heartless allowing Ky and Sora to slash with their Keyblades and the group defeat the Black Xetis and the Heartless saving the small town.
"That was close…" Noel said.
"That was weird!" Sora said.
Mickey comes back and shakes Ky's, Noel's, and Sora's hands again and then waves at the group goodbye and leaves again.
"Look, fellers! Over there!" Goofy said pointing at the same floating curtain.
"What will it show this time?" Ky asked.
Donald opens the curtains and it shows something.
After the woman yelled at the other person someone else comes into the dark and evil castle.
"Wow. I'd say she held nothing back about what she said about you." A voice said and it's a kid male voice.
"Oh, for cryin' out loud…she didn't have to go and say that." The other person said.
"What're ya talking about? You're incompetent! It's just as she said, you're useless." The kid male voice said.
"Okay, so I mighta messed up now and then, but I'm a lot more things than useless." The other person said. "Why, when I startin' out… Oh, I miss those good ol' days…" The person then starts sobbing.
"Oh, what're crying about now?" The kid male voice asked.
"What I wouldn't give to go back in time… What I wouldn't give…" The other person said.
Just then something starts to glow.
"What's that?" The kid male voice asked.
"Huh?" The person asked and they see what looks like a silver door.
The two people go to the door and they open it showing something.
"What is this?" The kid male voice asked.
"Hey! I think that's my…" The other person stops talking.
The group return to Cornerstone Hill.
"A door?" Sora asked.
"It looks familiar…" Donald said.
"Yeah. It's the one Merlin summoned for us!" Ky said.
"So, we came straight here?" Sora asked.
"Sure! I think…" Goofy said.
"We should keep checking out…" Noel said.
The group go for the third door which is the one with a burning building and so the group enter the third door.
(Timeless River: Scene of Fire)
The group arrive at an area that has a big building that's on fire and is burning.
"Oh, my…" Noel said.
"The whole building's on fire!" Ky said.
"Hey!" Sora said.
Just then Mickey comes in and tries to stop the fire.
"C'mon! He needs our help!" Sora said.
"Majesty!" Donald said.
Just then more fire appears and along with the fire are Phantom Black Xetis, Shadow Heartless, Black Xetis that look like Chimeras, and Heartless that looks like cars.
(Information: Defeat all of the Black Xetis and the Heartless while protecting the building!)
The Phantom Black Xetis attack with their chains while the Shadow Heartless attack with their claws but Donald casts Blizzard while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado but the Chimera Black Xetis breathe fire at the group and then charges with its horns while the Car Heartless punch with their tires but Noel triple slashes with Radiant Salvation and then delivers swing slash while Ky horizontal slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a roundhouse slash but then fires appear but Sora casts Water to get rid of the fires but the Chimera Black Xetis shoot fireballs while its snake tail bites while the Car Heartless get into car form and start dashing all over the place but Goofy uses Shield Torpedo while Donald casts Thunder while Sora delivers three slashes with Kingdom Key and then casts Earth while Ky vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a crescent slash while Noel delivers graceful slashes with Radiant Salvation and then delivers a side slash and the group defeat the Black Xetis and the Heartless and the building stops burning.
After the fight Mickey comes back and shakes the three Keybearers' hands again, wave goodbye again, and then leaves.
"Well, at least things should be okay." Ky said.
"Hey!" Goofy said pointing at another floating curtain and Donald opens it showing something.
In the dark and evil castle the same woman examines the summoned silver door.
"Fascinating… This appears to be a portal to the past!" The woman said.
"Oooh! No wonder everything looks so…retro." The kid male said.
"Yeah! It was the strangest thing!" The other person said.
"Stop gawking!" The kid male yelled.
"Now, let's think of a way we can use this to our advantage." The woman said.
"Okay." The person said.
"Now, perhaps I could give you one more chance to redeem yourself." The woman said.
"Oh, thank you! Thank you! You can count on me!" The other person said.
"In case if he screws up, I'm gonna provide him with some backup. I'll be right back." The kid male said as he leaves.
"So, what you want me to do?" The other person asked.
"Patience, my dear… What have we here? Well, if it isn't the Cornerstone of Light. Mmm… Now we can take the castle from those fools, but we must proceed with the utmost of care!" The woman said.
The group later return to the Cornerstone Hill.
"Maleficent!" Donald said.
"She must've known all along." Sora said.
"And that kid that was with her is Bowser Jr.! He's helping her with taking over the castle!" Ky said.
"Let's see…if that door's connected to the past…" Goofy was cut off.
"No, no, no! It comes here!" Donald said.
"Huh?" Sora asked.
"This means we're in the past." Noel said.
"Wow, really? The past…?" Ky asked.
"If we're in the past…" Sora stops talking.
"…That means we can change the future!" Donald said.
"No! Don't even think like that! Do you even remember what Merlin warned us?" Noel asked.
"Noel's right! He's got faith in us!" Goofy said.
"He told us to resist that temptation, no matter what!" Ky said.
"Aw, I was just joking." Donald said.
"Yeah, who'd wanna change the future anyway?" Sora said.
"Uh-huh. Anyway, what now?" Ky asked.
"Well, there are still Black Xetis and Heartless all over, and we still have to check on one more door." Noel said.
"At least we're on the right track!" Goofy said.
"Yeah! Let's go!" Donald said and everyone nods.
The group go for the fourth and final door and it has a house and so the group enter the door.
(Timeless River: Mickey's House)
The group arrive in a house's living room and they find a block hole that starts sucking up various furniture and Mickey tries to stop the suction but it's all in vain.
"He needs our help!" Sora said.
"And help is what he's gonna get!" Ky said.
Just then Aerial Thruster Heartless and Mummy Black Xetis appear making Mickey flee and so the group go confront the Black Xetis and the Heartless.
(Information: Defeat all of the Black Xetis and Heartless while defending the furniture!)
The Mummy Black Xetis attack the group with their bandages while the Aerial Thruster Heartless attack with their propellers but Donald casts Gravity while Goofy uses Goofy Turbo but the black hole starts sucking up everything but Sora attacks the black hole but the Mummy Black Xetis try to trap the group with their bandages but Ky casts Fire while Noel delivers a diagonal slash with Radiant Salvation but the Aerial Thruster Heartless aerial attack the group while the Mummy Black Xetis lash with their bandages but Goofy uses Goofy Bash while Donald casts Stop to make the Black Xetis and the Heartless freeze and Noel vertical slashes with Radiant Salvation and then delivers an edge slash while Sora delivers two horizontal slashes with Kingdom Key and then delivers a leap slash while Ky triple slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers an upper slash and then delivers a wide slash and the group defeat the Black Xetis and the Heartless.
After the fight Mickey shakes the three Keybearer's hands again, waves goodbye, and then leaves again.
"That was hectic…" Ky said.
"Huh?" Goofy asked pointing at another floating curtain.
"Just what are Maleficent and Bowser Jr. up to now?" Noel asked.
Donald opens the curtains and it reveals something.
In the dark and evil castle Maleficent and Bowser Jr. who returns with Larry, Roy, and Wendy with him are planning something.
"Listen well, on the other side of this portal, they're about to begin construction on that wretched castle." Maleficent said.
"And until then, their stupid Cornerstone of Light is unguarded, with all the power contained!" Bowser Jr. said.
"Ooh, that sounds promising!" Wendy said.
"This is why we wanted to help." Larry said.
"The Cornerstone…of Light?" The other person asked.
"I'm confused myself." Roy said.
"That cursed sphere is the very thing that prevents us from entering the castle." Maleficent said.
"Oh." The other person said.
"You know what must be done?" Maleficent asked.
"I sure as heck do!" Bowser Jr. said.
"Um…" The other person is confused.
"Go then. The time has come to prove your worth. And don't DARE to fail me again!" Maleficent said as she leaves.
"You three have your mission! Get going, and make sure this fat idiot doesn't screw up!" Bowser Jr. said as he leaves.
"Well, you heard 'em!" Larry said.
"Don't fail her again…let's see…" The other person gets an idea. "That's it! I just gotta smash that Cornerstone to smithereens!" The other person who turns out to be Pete said.
"Now THAT'S an idea I like!" Roy said.
"Then, it's settled." Wendy said.
"But first, I gotta get my old boat back." Pete said as he opens the door and the three Kooaplings follow him.
The group return to Cornerstone Hill.
"It was Pete after all!" Sora said.
"Aw, he tricked us!" Donald said.
"No, the Pete we saw is our enemy!" Noel said.
"Still, something's not right." Goofy said.
"I agree with Goofy. The Pete we met earlier might've had an attitude, but he didn't look like a bad guy." Ky said.
"Look!" Donald said and the group see Pete with Larry, Roy, and Wendy.
"Hehehehehehehehe! Now, the Cornerstone's as good as ours!" Pete said.
"Let's go!" Larry said.
"That's the Pete we know!" Sora said.
"Bad, bad, bad!" Donald said.
"And those Koopalings are helping him!" Ky said.
Just then Goofy looks back.
"Oh, no!" Goofy said.
The group see the spot where the Cornerstone was is now empty.
"The Cornerstone's gone!" Sora said.
"That means…" Donald stops talking.
"The castle's gonna be filled with darkness. Not even our friends will stand a chance!" Noel said.
"We gotta get it back!" Ky said.
Just then the Pete from before who is Past Pete goes past the group.
"Hey, hold it right there!" Sora called.
"Not now, Sora…" Noel said.
"Oh, no way, small fry! I finally found the punk that stole my steamboat!" Past Pete said.
"Yeah! It was you!" Donald said.
"Right! Me! No! It's not me! It's somebody that looks like me!" Past Pete said as he leaves.
"ARGH! Which is it?!" Sora asked.
"You know the answer, Sora! Let's go!" Ky said as the group go after the Petes.
(Timeless River: Waterway)
In a waterway Pete, Larry, Roy, and Wendy steal the steamboat which also contains the Cornerstone of Light but Past Pete goes after them.
"WAIT!" Past Pete shouted.
"Shuddup!" Pete said as he starts pushing Past Pete. "Your future's on the line, pallie! Now, back off, and give me the boat!" Pete said as he uppercuts Past Pete sending him away.
(Boss Theme Rowdy Rumble)
"The Cornerstone!" Donald said.
"They're getting away!" Noel said.
"After 'em!" Sora said.
"I knew these losers would show up." Roy said.
"Let's make 'em get lost!" Larry said as he takes out his wand and Roy and Wendy do the same.
"Heh! You punks couldn't follow me if you wanted to!" Pete said.
(Information: Break the cage before Pete escapes!)
Larry starts shooting light blue magic blasts while Roy shoots red magic blasts while Wendy shoots pink magic blasts but the group dodge the magic attacks but Pete summons three items and tosses them at the group.
(Reaction Command: Juggle Parry)
Ky, Noel, and Sora juggle the thrown items and then send them right back at Pete but Larry keeps firing light blue magic blasts while Wendy fires pink magic blasts while Roy fires red magic blasts but the group avoid the magic blasts but Pete throws more items but Ky, Noel, and Sora juggle the items again and throw them back at Pete and later on he's stunned making the boat stop.
"Oh, I can't take anymores…" Pete said.
The group quickly get to the boat and Ky, Noel, and Sora get on the boat's hook and they start destroying the cage with their Keyblades but Larry tries to stop them with his light blue magic but Donald casts Thunder at Larry but Roy unleashes red magic blasts but Goofy uses Goofy Bash at Roy but Wendy unleashes pink magic blasts but Ky, Noel, and Sora keep striking at the cage to free the Cornerstone of Light but the hook tries to get the three off but they stay where they are and keep slashing at the cage with their Keyblades and later on they successfully destroy the cage and Pete who was on the cage falls into the water but Larry, Roy, and Wendy quickly get off.
"Take that!" Ky said.
"You'll pay for this!" Pete said but he gets hit by the boat as it stops.
"This is bad!" Wendy said.
"Jr.'s not gonna be happy with us!" Roy said.
"The Cornerstone!" Donald said.
Pete reaches for the surface and then starts to make his way out.
"Now what?" Roy asked.
"We'd better give Bowser Jr. the bad news!" Larry said as the three leave.
"They're getting away!" Ky aid.
"What about the Cornerstone?" Donald asked.
"We'll come back for it later!" Sora said.
"Pete's headin' for the doorway!" Goofy said.
The group after Pete and they go for the next area.
(Timeless River: Wharf)
The group arrive at a wharf area and they find Pete who is fighting against Past Pete again and Pete delivers a punch at Past Pete knocking him down.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow!" Past Pete said as he covers his face.
"That's it! I'm sick of this!" Noel said.
"Heh! You're still wet behind the ears!" Pete said.
"Then try us!" Sora said.
"You lost before, ya fat lunkhead! Nothing's gonna be different!" Ky said.
"We'll deal with you!" Roy said.
"Don't bother! It's about time I put these punks in their place!" Pete said.
"Fine, but if you lose, Maleficent won't be happy!" Larry said as they back off.
Before the group could fight Past Pete rushes in while shoving Donald and Goofy out of the way and now the group and Past Pete prepare to face against Pete.
(Boss Theme: Desire For All That is Lost)

"How 'bout a change?" Pete said as a scene changes.

The group are back in the wharf and Pete is knocked back.
"It serves ya right!" Past Pete said.
"I told you we should've done this together." Larry said.
"Who cares!" Pete said he then summons the same silver door.
"The door!" Donald said.
"That's it!" Noel said.
"Yeah, AND stay out!" Past Pete said as Pete, Larry, Roy, and Wendy leave.
"Sora, Ky, Noel!" Donald said.
"Yeah, we know!" Sora said.
"We got this!" Ky said.
Ky, Noel, and Sora use their Keyblades to lock the door's keyhole and the silver door disappears.
"That's done." Ky said.
"Will somebody tell me what's been goin' on here? Who was that creep anyways?" Past Pete asked.
"Hello! That creep was you…" Sora was cut off by Goofy and Noel covering Sora's mouth.
"Don't say anything!" Noel said.
"Yeah! It's a secret!" Goofy said.
"Secret? What kinda secret? Oh, never mind. Sorry I put you guys through all that trouble." Past Pete said.
"Yeah, well, just don't make a habit out of it!" Donald said making the others laugh.
"And to show you my appreciation, I'll let you all pilot my steamboat! Best little craft on the river! My deck hand Mickey's late anyways." Past Pete said.
"Thanks!" Ky said.
"That's real nice of you." Noel said.
The group are now riding on Past Pete's steamboat which still has the Cornerstone of Light and they are enjoying piloting it and Donald uses the steamboat's steamers to let out steam and unknowing to them Mickey is laying on the raft and enjoying the ride.
The group later return to the Cornerstone Hill and they put the Cornerstone of Light back to its stand.
"I'm so glad it's safe from harm." Noel said.
"I'll betcha the castle's safe now." Goofy said.
"We'd better head back." Sora said.
"Yep." Ky said.
"Wait! As long as we're here…" Donald stops talking.
"No!" Noel yelled as she grabs Donald's neck and starts dragging him through the hill to the door.
"Hey! Lemme go! Lemme go!" Donald yelled but as Noel reaches the door she opens it and throws Donald into the door.
"This is what happens when we get on Noel's bad side…" Ky said.
"We'd better just make sure not to provoke her…" Sora said.
"Shall we return?" Noel asked.
"Yeah!" Goofy said and they go into the door and leave Timeless River.
(Disney Castle: The Hall of the Cornerstone)
Meanwhile in Disney Castle at the Hal of the Cornerstone the others return to the hall and find Minnie, Merlin, Chip, and Dale.
"The Black Xetis and the Heartless have been dealt with." Shadow said.
"No more has come." Zuko said.
"That's good." Minnie said.
"Splendid!" Merlin said.
"I wonder how Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, and Goofy are doing." Lucas said.
"They should be fine." Max said.
"Pika!" Storm said pointing at something.
"Eevee!" Grace said pointing at something.
Everyone sees the thorns starting to disappear from the room and just then the Hall of the Cornerstone is now a white room and no longer dark.
"The thorns have disappeared!" Minnie said.
"By George, the five have accomplished their mission!" Merlin said.
"I just knew they could do it!" Elena said.
"Kick ass!" Ken said.
"Hooray!" Chip said.
"Let's have an acorn feast to celebrate!" Dale said.
"Now, we just have to wait for them to come back." Tails said.
Just then they see Donald flying out of the door and he's back to his normal appearance and Noel, Ky, Sora, and Goofy leave the door and return to the castle and have reverted back to their normal appearances.
"Hey, guys!" Ky said.
"You're all okay!" Murray said.
"Whoo-hoo!" Zatch said.
"Welcome back, everyone! Because of your bravery, the castle is safe and protected again. Thank you all so much for what you've done." Minnie said.
"Good work, you guys!" Chip and Dale said.
"Now, I hope you five didn't do anything reckless while you were in there." Merlin said.
"Of course not!" Donald said.
"Don't worry, Merlin. Everything was under control." Noel said.
"Yep! We even resisted that temptation you warned us about." Ky said.
"All in all, everything went okay!" Sora said.
Elena comes and hugs Ky.
"I'm glad you're okay, and you saved the castle!" Elena said.
"Yeah. It looks like you handled yourselves when dealing with that Black Xeti and Heartless invasion." Ky said.
"I'm so proud of ya, Maxi! You defended the castle without me!" Goofy said hugging Max.
"Yeah. It was nothing, Dad." Max said.
"We've all played our parts excellently." Noel said.
Just then someone comes into the room and it's a white female duck wearing a violet dress and a tiara and Donald turns to see the female duck.
"Daisy!" Donald said as he runs to the female duck named Daisy. "Daisy, I'm back!" Donald said.
"Who?" Sora asked.
"Daisy?" Ky asked.
"Daisy is Donald's very special sweetheart." Goofy said.
"And she's also capable of keeping Donald in line." Max said.
"Really?" Sora asked.
Daisy then puts her hands on her hips.
"Donald! You forgot about our date again! You'd better have a good excuse this time!" Daisy said.
"But, Daisy, I…" Donald stops talking.
"I know you have an important mission, but you could at least check in every once and a while!" Daisy said.
"Geez, remind me not to have a girlfriend…" T.J. said.
"Sora!" Donald said and then he sees the door and snickers.
"Donald!" Merlin said.
"Don't you dare!" Noel said.
"I'll just be a minute!" Donald said as he goes for the door but Daisy catches him.
"Going somewhere?!" Daisy asked.
"Of course not!" Donald said running.
"Donald!" Daisy yelled as she chases after Donald and everyone laughs.
"Oh, look!" Minnie said and everyone sees the Cornerstone of Light glowing.
Ky, Noel, and Sora summon their Keyblades and the crown symbol appears under the three and they are sent to the same ethereal place and the Cornerstone of Light unleashes another keyhole and Ky, Noel, and Sora use their Keyblades to unlock the keyhole and they are back to the Hall of the Cornerstone.
"Um, Daisy, we need Donald for a little longer." Noel said.
"How much longer?" Daisy asked.
"Um, well…" Sora comes up with an answer.
"Don't worry, Daisy! I'll be back!" Donald said and Daisy is relieved.
"Don't ya worry, Queen Minnie. We'll return." Goofy said.
"And, I'd like to continue my adventure with my friends, but I'll be back after." Max said.
"I understand." Minnie said.
"Please tell the King that we're still looking for him." Sora said.
"I will." Minnie said.
"See you soon!" Chip and Dale said.
"Think wisely!" Merlin said and just then he gives Ky, Noel, and Sora something for their clothes.
(Obtained: Wisdom Form: Ky, Noel, Sora)
The group leave the Hall of the Cornerstone and return to the courtyard and Ky and Noel use their Keyblades to create a light portal and the group go through the light portal before it disappears and Sora, Donald, and Goofy go back to the Gummi hanger and go for the Gummi ship and they leave Disney Castle.
