Alright, time for them to get a few answers regarding their journey, as well as a few hints of what's to come later on...
(After a while, Makoto woke up, but he wasn't in the First District anymore. It looked to be a bedroom of sorts, probably one of the rooms of the hotel in the Second District, and he was laying on a bed)
Makoto: Ugh… my head.
Makoto: (I really gotta stop passing out like that.)
(He goes to sit up, but notices someone right next time him, someone familiar…)
Makoto: (Kyoko!?)
Kyoko: You okay?
Makoto: Y-Yeah I guess…
Kyoko: Those creatures that attacked you are after the Keyblade. But it's your heart they really want, because you wield the Keyblade.
Makoto: I figured, I'm just glad you're okay Kyoko.
Kyoko: Kyoko? Who are you talking about?
Kyoko: I'm the great ninja Yuffie!
Makoto: Huh?
(His vision starts to clear up, and it turns out he was talking to someone different, a girl he didn't recognize. The same one who showed up after Makoto's scuffle with Leon)
Yuffie: I think you might've overdone it Squall.
(Leon then shows up)
Leon: That's Leon.
(Makoto then notices the Keyblade propped against the wall)
Makoto: Oh, that's where it went.
Yuffie: Yeah, we had to get it away from you to shake off those creatures. It turns out that's how they were tracking you.
Leon: It was the only way to conceal your heart from them, but it won't work for long.
(Leon goes over to pick up the Keyblade and examines it)
Leon: Still, it's hard to believe that you of all people are the chosen one.
Makoto: Well, frankly I'm still coming to terms with that myself.
(Suddenly the Keyblade disappears from Leon's hands and goes right back to Makoto's)
Leon: Well, I suppose beggars can't be choosers.
Makoto: (I think I should probably get a better grasp of what's going on)
Makoto: I'm… still a bit confused. What's going on here?
(Meanwhile, in an adjacent hotel room. Aerith is having a similar discussion with Sayaka, Chihiro and Hifumi)
Aerith: Well for starters, there are many worlds out there besides your academy and this town.
Hifumi: Intriguing, I never thought they actually existed, or we could go to them.
Sayaka: If we could, someone probably would've by now. Hope's Peak is known for finding the best of the best, so this wouldn't slip by them.
Aerith: Right, this whole time, these worlds have been kept a secret, because they've never been connected, not until now.
Chihiro: Well, what changed?
Aerith: Everything changed when the Heartless came.
(Cut to the first hotel room)
Makoto: Right, those things that attacked my world, right?
Yuffie: Yep, and there's plenty more from what you've already seen.
Leon: Those without hearts.
Yuffie: The darkness in people's hearts- that's what attracts them.
Leon: And there is darkness within every heart.
Makoto: Then, I can understand why they acted how they did. And why they… attacked us.
Yuffie: Hey, have you heard of someone named Ansem?
(Cut to the second hotel room)
Hifumi: Ansem?
Aerith: He was studying the Heartless. He recorded all his findings in a very detailed report.
Chihiro: He did? Can we see it?
Hifumi: Hold on Miss Fujisaki, it can't be that simple.
Sayaka: Huh?
Aerith: He's right, it's pages are scattered everywhere.
Sayaka: Scattered?
Aerith: To many worlds.
Chihiro: That report could help, if we're gonna get our world back.
Sayaka: Maybe Makoto's going off to locate them! We better find him quick!
Hifumi: Indeed, I guess Mr. Naegi will be the key in more ways than one.
Aerith: So, you already know about the Keyblade.
(Cut to the first hotel room)
Makoto: I was given a brief explanation of this. I… certainly got some use.
Yuffie: You can say that again.
Leon: The Heartless have great fear of the Keyblade. That's why they'll keep coming after you, no matter what.
Makoto: I knew it wouldn't be easy, it... chose me after all.
Yuffie: Well from what Leon said, you certainly know how to swing your key around.
Leon: Hmph…
(Makoto rubs the back of his head and smiles sheepishly)
Yuffie: So, what's your story?
Makoto: Well, it's a long one so let me start from the top.
(Makoto then recounted everything that happened from when he entered Hope's Peak, to the Heartless destroying his world, and everything in between)
Yuffie: Wow, I didn't think anyone would do something so-
Makoto: Heartless?
Yuffie: *chuckles* That's one way to put it.
Leon: Sounds like you got lucky.
Makoto: Probably, I was sent to Hope's Peak literally by luck.
Yuffie: The Ultimate Lucky Student. I didn't think luck could be a talent.
Makoto: Me neither, but they accepted me either way.
Leon: So it was you, and 14 others people?
Makoto: Yeah, at first it felt like I didn't know them but-
Makoto: I've been getting these weird memories flashing in my mind, it's like I've…
Leon: You've met them before?
Makoto: Exactly, but I can't recall when...
(Makoto then quickly remembered, he needed to get to finding his friends)
Makoto: Oh right, you wouldn't have happened to see them did you?
Yuffie: Well, not personally. But~
Yuffie: I think someone might know where they are.
Makoto: Really?
Leon: Depends, the road ahead is likely gonna be tough.
Leon: You sure you can handle it?
Makoto: Of course!
(Makoto didn't even need to think for a response to that question, there was too much at stake for him to fall back now)
Makoto: I made a promise, and I'll do anything I can to keep it!
Leon: Heh, good to know.
Leon: Yuffie, let's go join Aerith.
Leon: She should be there with the other visitors by now.
Makoto: (Other visitors? He doesn't mean-)
(Sadly Makoto wouldn't find out…)
Yuffie: Leon!
(Before their eyes, a Heartless spawned in the room, one just like the small knight one Makoto saw not too long ago)
Leon: Yuffie, go!
Makoto: We'll handle this!
(Yuffie runs out of the room, unfortunately Hifumi was on the other side and the surprise opening sent him flying backwards, right onto Chihiro and Sayaka)
Hifumi: Whoa!
Sayaka/Chihiro: Ack!
Aerith: Yuffie!
(Leon drew out his gunblade…)
Leon: Makoto, let's go!
(...And knocks the Heartless out through the window into the alley, chasing after it. Though Makoto hesitated, he knew he couldn't leave the Heartless alone and chased after Leon. Hifumi eventually snapped out of his daze…)
Hifumi: Ugh, did someone order extra cheese?
(...Somewhat, he then shook his head and recovered)
Hifumi: What on earth was that?
Chihiro: Hifumi… get off!
(Hifumi noticed he was on top of the two girls, and quickly got off of them)
Hifumi: Nagh! I'm so sorry it was all a blur!
Chihiro: Wait, where's Aerith?
Sayaka: No time for that, we need to find Makoto!
(Meanwhile in the alley, Makoto and Leon were standing back to back as they were surrounded by Soldier Heartless)
Leon: I hope you're still up for a few scuffles.
Makoto: Hey, fighting you wasn't *that* exhausting.
Leon: Heh, clever.
(The two immediately got to work dealing with the Soldiers, and despite them being tougher than the regular Shadows, they had very little trouble fighting them. It took a while, but they eventually beat them all)
Makoto: We need to deal with this now, I'm not sure it'll be safe to look for my friends if they keep popping up.
Leon: It'll take a while to exterminate them, but if we're just gonna calm them down, then we can't bother with the small fries.
Leon: Find the leader!
Makoto: But I don't know where to look.
Leon: Check the Third District, it's opposite the alley, look for the long passage and go through the door at the end.
Leon: If you can't find them there, meet me back at the First District.
Makoto: Okay, let's take them out!
(They quickly headed towards the Second District, but Sayaka managed to notice them just before they left)
Sayaka: Makoto! Wait!
Chihiro: Did you find him?
Sayaka: He's headed that way, hurry!
Hifumi: Uh girls, I'm not sure it's safe for us to- WHOA!
(Hifumi lost his balance and fell face first onto the ground, but surprisingly he was okay)
Hifumi: *phew* My glasses are still safe!
(Sayaka and Chihiro landed after him)
Sayaka: Come on! We can still catch him if we hurry!
Hifumi: Oh, I'm not cut out for this adventuring…
(Sayaka and Chihiro quickly ran after Makoto, with Hifumi following behind due to minor exhaustion. Meanwhile, Makoto works on fighting the Heartless all the way along the path Leon directed him on. Though the combination of Soldiers and Shadows on his own was a bit more tricky, he eventually managed to fight his way to the Third District with Sayaka, Chihiro and Hifumi running after him)
Hifumi: He went… *pant* that way… *pant*
Chihiro: Uh Sayaka, I think we should take a break.
Sayaka: No way, we're so close! I can't lose him again!
Hifumi: Miss Maizono I-
Sayaka: I don't want to lose him again, not in the darkness, not ever!
(Sayaka seemed like she was panicking, she saw Makoto as her "rock", her shining light in the darkness that would protect her. Hifumi and Chihiro even noticed her shiver in fear…)
Chihiro: I think she's scared.
Hifumi: You don't suppose she wants to find Mr. Naegi because…
Chihiro: She… can't move on without him.
(Chihiro walks up to the cowering Sayaka and gives her a gentle hug from behind, surprising her)
Chihiro: It's okay, Hifumi and I are scared too. But don't worry, we'll find Makoto, I know it.
Hifumi: Miss Fujisaki is right, you have nothing to fear. I know it's not much of a consolation, but you my word that we'll stick by you until we find out Keyblade warrior!
Chihiro: That goes double for me!
(Sayaka's eyes started watering up, she felt like she could cry)
Sayaka: Thank you, thank you both so much!
Hifumi: Come on, the sooner we find Mr. Naegi, the sooner we can get an idea of what's going on around here!
(Meanwhile, Makoto has just entered the Third District, a more flashy looking area with lights everywhere, and a golden fountain in the corner of the lower area. Makoto just made his way to the lower area when the group that followed him just arrived. However, they got stopped by more Soldier Heartless)
Chihiro: H-Heartless!
Hifumi: And we're unarmed!
Sayaka: NO!
(While they cowered in fear, Sayaka felt something in her heart… was this… courage?)
Sayaka: No! I'm done running!
Hifumi: M-Miss Maizono?
Sayaka: Makoto trusted us, we can't go down like this. If he can fight…
Sayaka: Then we can too!
Hifumi: Yeah, that's right! We can do this!
Chihiro: I-I don't know about this, if Sakura's punches couldn't hurt them then-
Sayaka: No more messing around Heartless, this ends here!
*BOOM*
(A small explosion of light occurs sending the three flying. Makoto, noticing three figures falling down towards him, tries to run...)
Makoto: Huh? Oh shoot!
(But they end up landing on him. They all end up in a momentary daze, which turns to excitement when the three find who they're looking for…)
Sayaka/Chihiro/Hifumi: The Keyblade!
Makoto: Guys?
(Makoto gets up, and notices who just landed on him)
Makoto: Guys!
Sayaka: MAKOTO!
(Sayaka ends up tackling him to the ground and hugs him tightly, not wanting to let him go, even sounding like she's about to cry)
Sayaka: I'm so glad you're okay!
Makoto: I'm glad you're okay too.
Sayaka: Please, never leave us like that again!
Makoto: I'll… try harder next time?
(Sayaka merely giggled and helped Makoto up)
Hifumi: Mr. Naegi!
Chihiro: Makoto!
(Chihiro and Hifumi ran up and hugged the Keyblade wielder, Makoto couldn't do much but return the favor)
Makoto: Are you guys alright?
Hifumi: We should be asking you that, o brave warrior.
Makoto: Heh heh heh…
(Makoto merely rubbed the back of his head and smiled sheepishly)
Chihiro: It took us so long to find you, it felt like we were running in circles!
Makoto: I know the feeling, but that doesn't matter now. We're here and together again!
(But before they could celebrate their reunion, the could feel the ground shaking)
Makoto: Whoa!
Chihiro: What's happening!?
(Suddenly, pillars rose from the ground, trapping the four in the lower area as more Heartless spawned above them and beside them)
Chihiro: Oh no!
Makoto: Everyone, behind me!
Hifumi: Oh, I hate these escort missions! Stupid AI, why do you keep running into-
Sayaka: Hifumi!
Hifumi: Ooo, bad time?
Sayaka: It's okay Makoto, I know we can make it through this, because… because…
(The Heartless began charging towards them, Makoto at the ready…)
Sayaka: We believe in you!
Chihiro/Hifumi: Yeah!
(Suddenly a bright light flashed before them, engulfing Sayaka, Chihiro and Hifumi. As the light dissipated, orbs began descending towards them. They immediately took shape as they landed in front of their faces, Sayaka's became a bo staff, Chihiro's became some futuristic bracelet, and Hifumi's was a colorful jack-in-the-box)
Makoto: Huh?
(Cue Night of Fate)
(While Chihiro and Hifumi remained confused at what just happened, Sayaka's face became more and more determined… She realized what this was, she finally had a way to fight back against the Heartless)
(Having had enough of running, Sayaka screamed as she charged towards the Heartless. To her surprise, she actually managed to take one down)
Sayaka: Huh? It actually worked?
Hifumi: No way, did we… gain powers?
Makoto: Looks like it.
(Soon more Heartless jumped down towards them, frightening Chihiro)
Chihiro Ah, keep away!
(She held out the hand that held the bracelet, which suddenly began glowing. Then, she suddenly found herself surrounded by two large interlocking rings, one horizontal and one vertical, and began hovering in the air)
Chihiro: Whoa… What's happening!?
(Suddenly a keyboard popped up in front of her, and on instinct she pressed a few keys. Then an interface popped up showing she was locked onto a few Heartless. Her computer programming instincts kicked in, and she, much like Sayaka, decided to stop running, and pressed the key. Upon doing so…)
Chihiro: Get down!
(Makoto and Hifumi dodged out of the way as a large blast of light emerged from her orb and blasted several of the Heartless)
Hifumi: Whoa, go Miss Fujisaki!
Chihiro: Wow!
Hifumi: Well, that just leaves me, let's see what's in here.
(Hifumi turns the crank on the jack-in-the-box and suddenly it disappears and is replaced with a large sword. One that got Hifumi's eyes to light up)
Hifumi: *gasp*
Hifumi: This… is just like…
Hifumi: I am the hero that shall bring justice to the dark!
(Hifumi charges forth and begins attacking the Heartless, Sayaka and Chihiro continue their attacks shortly after. Though Makoto was still confused, he joined them and began whittling down the Heartless' numbers)
Chihiro: Three more coming from above!
(Chihiro takes aim at the descending Soldiers and manages to shoot them before they land)
Hifumi: Hiyah! Wa-chaa! Hya-ta-ta-ta-ta! Feel my fury!
(Hifumi was moving so fast, he almost became a blur despite his massive girth)
Makoto: Sayaka, behind you!
Sayaka: Take this!
(Another Shadow goes down to Sayaka, as more Heartless surround the Keyblade warrior and the pop sensation)
Sayaka: There's so many of them.
Makoto: But we're still standing, aren't we?
Sayaka: Let's make sure it ends that way.
(They charge into the small crowd of Heartless and eventually, the four manage to defeat them all…)
Chihiro: I don't sense anymore.
Hifumi: I don't know Miss Fujisaki, I have a bad feeling about this…
Sayaka: It's not just you Hifumi, there's something off about all of this.
Chihiro: *gasp* We got a big one!
(Suddenly, a bunch of dark purple armor pieces land in front of the group, two clawed gauntlets, two boots and a body with a Heartless symbol on it. Eventually the helm lands right on the body)
Makoto: I think we found the leader.
Hifumi: Oh most definitely, looks like we have our work cut out for us…
Sayaka: No running away now!
Chihiro: Let's finish this!
Traverse Town: Main Boss Battle
Guard Armor
Track: Shrouding Dark Cloud
Makoto: We'll head in close! Chihiro, stay back and see if you can get any shots from a distance.
Chihiro: Okay, watch yourselves guys. We don't know what that thing will do!
(Makoto, Sayaka and Hifumi charge towards the Guard Armor, while the former two get blocked by it's hands, Hifumi manages to land a few blows on its body before he gets kicked away)
Hifumi: Ooh, that thing's got some power.
Sayaka: Chihiro, what's going on with those limbs?
(Chihiro is seen scanning the Heartless)
Chihiro: The limbs seem detachable, and if that's the case then they can be destroyed too.
Makoto: Take out the hands and feet first, then deal with the body!
(The Heartless then walks towards them and spins its hands around its body, fortunately they were able to block the attack)
Chihiro: Alright, take this!
(Chihiro's orb fires at the Guard Armor, aiming for its hands. Though it takes damage, the gauntlets detach and head for Chihiro)
Makoto: Chihiro, look out!
(Sadly, by the time she hears him, the gauntlets have already gotten to her and begin striking. While she's knocked against the wall, the orb protects her from any major damage)
Sayaka: Chihiro, are you okay?
Chihiro: I'm fine but-
Chihiro: Guys watch out!
Makoto: Huh?
(Suddenly the Guard Armor's entire body jumps up onto the ground and its pieces slam causing a massive shockwave that sends everyone flying)
Sayaka: We can't stop now, we have to take it apart piece by piece.
Makoto: Right, aim for the legs first!
Chihiro: I'll stay back and see if I can deal any shots to the arms.
Sayaka: I'll help Chihiro, you guys take out the feet.
Hifumi: Consider it done, CHARGE!
(Hifumi and Makoto charge towards the Guard Armor, and despite its attempts to stomp them they manage to get the feet away from the body. Still didn't mean they were out of the woods yet)
Hifumi: These detachable limbs are going to be a problem if we don't destroy them now!
Makoto: I take one, you get the other, just destroy them!
(They each take a foot, Hifumi ends up literally ramming one into a wall before stabbing it, causing it to break apart)
(Makoto meanwhile ends up striking it into the air, before dealing an air combo and sending it careening towards the main body, destroying the foot on contact)
Makoto: Yes!
(Meanwhile, both gauntlets are trying to break down Chihiro's orb, fortunate Sayaka was able to get them away from her)
Sayaka: Hey, pick on someone your own size!
(They immediately charge towards Sayaka, but she's able to hold her own and deal plenty of damage, even destroying one of them)
Chihiro: Okay, I'm locked on!
(Chihiro fires more energy blasts at the other gauntlet, destroying it)
Chihiro: Alright, that just leaves the main body!
(With its limbs gone, the Guard Armor's main body starts spinning around like crazy. Fortunately one swipe from Makoto managed to get it to stop)
Sayaka: Nice one! Let's finish this!
(Sayaka jumps towards the main body and deals a few blows, then knocks it at Hifumi's direction. Hifumi spins his sword as fast as he can, dealing even more damage, sending the body Chihiro's way. Noticing it coming her way, she fires more energy shots at it before charging at it with her orb, sending it Makoto's way; who only needed one good swipe through the body to finish it)
(Having been dealt enough damage, the Guard Armor's body starts shaking, eventually causing the head to fall onto the ground with a loud thump. Then a heart comes floating out of the body where the head was, and soon the Heartless faded into thin air)
Hifumi: We… did it.
Sayaka: We actually fought that thing off.
Chihiro: We won?
Makoto: I guess you guys now know how I felt.
(Their weapons disappear, Chihiro's orb vanishing and her bracelet reappearing. The three were in disbelief, before this even Sakura's unmatchable strength couldn't hurt even hurt them, but they managed to beat a large one.)
Sayaka: Wow, what is this power?
Makoto: It's not the Keyblade, but it's probably not the *only* weapon that can fight the Heartless.
Hifumi: Huh?
Leon: He's right…
(Leon and Yuffie arrive, having seen the battle for themselves)
Makoto: Leon! Yuffie! Is everything alright?
Sayaka: And is Aerith alright?
Yuffie: Don't worry, she's fine! The Heartless seemed to have calmed down too, great work guys!
Chihiro: O-Oh, well it was nothing really…
Yuffie: No need to be so modest, I'm sure you guys are just as shocked as we are!
Leon: It takes a strong heart to spawn a weapon that can destroy the Heartless, you must've responded to it.
Chihiro: S-Strong? Me?
Hifumi: He's got a point, Miss Fujisaki. You certainly did splendid in that battle!
Chihiro: Oh no, you guys did all the real heavy lifting, I just stayed back and-
Makoto: No Chihiro you did great! I couldn't ask for better and stronger support.
(Chihiro simply blushed, no one had ever called her strong before)
Makoto: Same goes for you too Sayaka, do you think you'll be okay now?
Sayaka: I have you, and I have this power to fight the Heartless now.
Sayaka: I know I'll be okay!
Hifumi: But of course we can't forget you, Mr. Keyblade Warrior.
Makoto: Heh heh! Thanks guys.
Chihiro: So, have you seen the others?
Makoto: No, chances are they might be in some other world…
Sayaka: We have to go find them then! Before we work on getting our own world back, we need to make sure everyone's okay!
Chihiro: But, how are we gonna get to other worlds? We don't know how…
(They all didn't have an answer for that, Makoto grew worried. Was he not gonna be able to save everyone?)
?: Well, I guess I'll have to give ya a hand, won't I?
(They all looked up to see Cid on the upper level, looking down)
Makoto: Cid?
Cid: I got somethin' you guys can use to get to other worlds, though it ain't easy travel.
Sayaka: Whatever it takes, we need to find them!
Chihiro: We can't back out now!
Hifumi: Our quest can't end before it begins!
Makoto: I have to keep my promise to everyone, so we'll do what we need to.
Makoto: What've you got Cid?
Cid: Meet me back at the accessory shop, we'll talk more there.
(Cid leaves the District)
Makoto: Well guys, I guess we'll be undertaking that adventure after all. Can I count on you guys to help me out here?
Hifumi: Of course Mr. Naegi, I would never pass up the adventure of a lifetime!
Chihiro: I'm not gonna stand by and let anyone else get hurt by those Heartless anymore, I'm coming too!
Sayaka: And of course I'm not going anywhere, you're too special to me after all.
(Sayaka's statement caused Makoto to blush, and Hifumi to smirk at her obvious flirting)
Hifumi: Hehehe, looks like you may already have a love in-
(Sayaka elbows him in the stomach to stop him from finishing that sentence. Makoto held his hand out, and the others followed putting them on top)
Makoto: Let's make this a vow now, we'll find everyone, stop the Heartless, and save our world and all others like it!
Makoto: All for one…
Makoto/Sayaka/Chihiro/Hifumi: One for all!
(Meanwhile, in an unknown location, several dark figures are looking down at a projection of Makoto and his friends, having just defeated the Guard Armor)
(Cue Villains of a Sort)
?: That little squirt took down that Heartless! Who'd have thought it?
?: Such is the power of the Keyblade. The child's strength is not his own.
?: Why don't we turn him into a Heartless? Ahaha, that'll settle things quick enough.
?: And the brat's friends can't be ignored either. Swoggle me eyes, they're all bilge rats by the look of them.
?: You're no prize yourself *laughs*
?: Shut up!
?: Enough!
(Aside from the five figures, there stood Maleficent and Junko, who'd also seen the scene before them)
Maleficent: The Keyblade has chosen him. Will it be who conquers the darkness? Or will the darkness swallow him? Either way, he could be quite useful.
Junko: Perhaps, but we can't underestimate him. If not for his 'skill', then for his dumb luck and blind optimism.
?: Surely they can't be that deadly.
Junko: You know by now my original plan, he was the only one I couldn't nail anything down for. I needed his luck to work against him, that was my only option to finish him off!
Junko: Trust me, give him an inch, he'll take a mile.
?: Yeah yeah sure, oh by the way, you said you needed someone right?
Junko: Yeah, what's it to you?
?: You only needed to ask, Junko…
(To her surprise, she saw her sister Mukuro, dressed in her old school uniform out of her disguise)
Mukuro: You wanted my skills?
Junko: Well duh, you're still useful after all.
Junko: Glad you made it though, we've got plenty of work to do.
Mukuro: Oh, I'm well aware. I'm particularly interested in dealing with Makoto once and for all.
Junko: Really? But I thought you *liked* Makoto?
Mukuro: I still do, but right now my priority is ensuring your despair, and he was the cause of its ruin.
Mukuro: You matter more than he does, and I'll get over the heartbreak soon enough.
(Junko was surprised for once, Mukuro never showed this feeling before, she must be deadly serious)
?: The lass was certainly more trouble than she's worth, I thought for sure she was going to take me other hand!
Junko: Well no worries, she won't be messing with us again. Right?
Mukuro: Oh don't worry, I won't.
?: So, we got the lady, what's your end of the deal little missy?
Mukuro: Is it what I think it is?
Junko: Probably not, but let's bring him out anyway! Oh Monokuma~
(On her cue, out came the black and white bear, reconstructed and ready for action)
Monokuma: Wow, didn't think I'd end up in a place like this!
Junko: Meet the Monokuma unit, specially designed by yours truly!
Junko: I wasn't able to add all the normal functions since we're out in the open and all, but he'll prove just as useful as the Heartless.
Monokuma: That's me! Perfect for all your despairful and dark-filled dreams. Puhuhuhuhuhu!
?: I must admit, the little thing has me intrigued.
Junko: I have plenty more designs made out, I just need time to get them automated. But since Mukuro's finally back, that won't be for much longer.
Maleficent: I must admit, this has me impressed.
Maleficent: Very few creatures can match the Heartless in dark essence, but your machine has already done so.
Monokuma: Aw shucks, you give me too much credit oh mistress of evil.
Junko: Don't forget who built you now wise guy, I can just as easily tear you apart as I can make you!
Monokuma: Oh don't worry, I haven't forgotten that part.
Maleficent: As long as you intend to work with us, I believe a gift is in order.
Junko: A present for us? What is it?
Maleficent: I shall bestow upon you, the power to control the Heartless!
(Maleficent raised her staff, and Mukuro and Junko began glowing an eerie light green aura, indicating Maleficent's powers were being given to them)
Mukuro: This power…
Junko: Oh yeah, that's the stuff, give me more baby, more!
Mukuro: I-I'm sorry…
Maleficent: Don't worry about it, I'll get used to it.
(The aura dissipates)
Junko: I think this just got a whole lot more interesting. What say you Sis?
Mukuro: I saw it's time we make Makoto pay… with his life!
Maleficent: Good, but right now I have an important job for you.
Junko: You need her to retrieve the Princesses, right?
Mukuro: Princesses?
Junko: It's the only way to unlock the ultimate powers of darkness, and with it, we can get the game back up and running!
Mukuro: Tell me what I have to do!
Maleficent: *chuckles* You were right, she is a loyal soldier.
Junko: The best in her class, got to give her credit, they don't call her the Ultimate Soldier for nothing.
(Mukuro lightly blushes at Junko's comment)
Mukuro: You give me too much credit.
Junko: Well, we'll just see when the time comes where you can kill that little snot and his friends.
Junko: And I might reward you if all goes well.
Mukuro: (I'll do whatever it takes, I won't let you feel like that ever again!)
(Mukuro's dark aura returned, she never saw Junko act the way she did about Makoto, not towards anyone even before the Tragedy. It was a face she never wanted to see her sister make again, and she'd do whatever it takes to make sure it never happened again)
Makoto has managed to keep his promise with a few so far, but there's still many others he needs to save! And it looks like the Ultimate Despair may be back in operation already, but will it be enough to stop the Keyblade Warrior? Next time, a curious trip down the rabbit hole...
