"What do we do?" Poppy asked.

"Sora!" Donald called. "Use your power!"

"Which one?" Sora asked.

"Your sealing power!" Donald replied.

"Your what?" John asked.

"Now's not the time!" Sora replied. "Bruce, pull Rhonda as far as you can from the darkness, then pull her over!"

"But-"

"Just do it!" Donald said.

"Right away!" Bruce replied.

"John, you keep Rhonda calm, from inside," Sora commanded. John saluted. "Donald, Goofy. You give me backup."

"Yes, Sora!" Goofy said.

"Right away!" Donald said.

"What about me?" Poppy asked.

"I need you to stay inside, safe," Sora said. Poppy looked a little disappointed, but Branch grabbed her hand, cheering her up enough.

Sora held onto the driver's seat, behind Bruce, watching out the windshield. Bruce pulled Rhonda over. "Okay!" he said.

"Perfect!" Sora replied. "Donald, Goofy!"

Donald and Goofy followed Sora outside. Sora struggled to climb up Rhonda, but managed to make it up. "Okay, cover me!" he yelled over the wind.

Donald and Goofy nodded, pulling out their weapons. Sora summoned his Keyblade and raised it above his head. Donald casted thunder mostly, for a little light, and to scare off a lot of Heartless. Goofy threw his shield in an arch, taking out a lot of them, even on the way back.

Sora's Keyblade started glowing at the tip of it, just the same as when he seals the Keyholes. The dot of light glew brighter until he raised it into the air. "Take that!" he yelled, shooting a beam into the air.

A white beam of light flew off his Keyblade and exploded in the air above them, a few feet above their heads. The light pushed all the Heartless away, dissipating the storm of Heartless.

Sora felt weak, and stumbled over to Goofy before fainting.


Floyd sighed. He never expected John to come back, but he hoped that he did at the same time. As much as he wanted to save his other brothers from the same fate, he hoped he wouldn't have to die. Velvet and Veneer had sucked so much talent out of him, his hair started turning white. The blue fogginess started going up to his hands, leaving everything above his head safe.

He waited for Velvet and Veneer to leave, and for Crimp to come out of her corner, before he started singing. "This is for all the lonely people, who thinks life just passed them by. But we won't give up until we drink from the silver cup and ride the highway to the sky."

He smiled at Crimp, who had been playing her banjo. "You're getting better," he said. Crimp looked at her banjo, then at him, and giggled softly. "Thanks."

Floyd sighed, then sank down, sliding down the wall. "I wish I can just get out of here," he said.

"I wish," Crimp said. "If I wasn't so worried about Velvet and Veneer catching me that is."

"I'm less worried about that and more worried by those monster things sitting by the door," Floyd said.

"But they're so big," she said, pointing towards the Soldiers. "They won't see you."

"I've seen them shrink down to my height before," Floyd said. "It's very discomforting."

Crimp shivered. "I can imagine so. That's like seeing Velvet and Veneer get really small, in my height, for no reason. Probably just to torment me."

"If they hadn't made that deal with this...Xigbar guy, then I wouldn't have to sit here and be terrified they're going to crush me," Floyd said, "besides being terrified of dying the stupidest way possible."

"Did you know diamond can do that?" Crimp asked.

"No," Floyd replied. "And I wish I didn't."

"At least that explains why you can only break it with...what was it?" Crimp asked.

"The Perfect Family Harmony?" Floyd asked.

"Yeah, that," Crimp said, pointing at him.

"I guess," Floyd said. "I just want to know the first Troll that got trapped inside diamond to know that it needs the Perfect Family Harmony to break it."

"I'd feel a little bad for him," Crimp said.

"I already did," Floyd said. "Now I know how it feels."
