A few hours passed and Sora had read all he could of the information about this world, thanks to Tron, he was able to summarize a good part of the story, The Hollows, the city of New Eridu and everything that was happening, but also about the arrival of the Heartless who for now can only advance through the Hollows but their appearances have been minor, being defeated by the ethereal beings that lived in that place, but how long would it take until they became stronger and left that strange dimension to attack this world?

It was a question that undoubtedly bothered him, because sooner or later he would end up causing this world to have more problems.

"Things got really complicated right now" Sora could only say to himself, then look at the sky, there were many questions in his mind, whether it was his arrival in this world or how he was still alive, after all he had lost his battle against Yozora , but these would be interrupted when Tron's voice spoke.

"I see you saw all the information I gave you," Tron commented, appearing on the screen looking at Sora.

"I understood a good part, Hollows, ethereals, everything that is happening in this world" Sora said a little sad for the situation of this world and more for the inhabitants who had to live in fear if a Hollow appeared out of nowhere, the constant fear in the hearts of the inhabitants would be a feast for the Heartless.

"Unfortunately, not all worlds and their inhabitants have the same luck as the worlds you have visited, Sora. Some are on the verge of going to war or being destroyed by their own inhabitants, or other threats invading certain worlds." Djo Tron, after all, some of the data he had about the technology they used to rebuild it and the Gummiphone, had information about other places that no longer existed in the first place. "But these are things that are beyond our hands. All we can do is try to ensure that this world does not suffer at the hands of the Heartless."

"I understand Tron, but I wish I could do something to help these people" Sora said looking at the ground trying to find a way to stop the Hollows from appearing and harming people, he was a hero after all

"You can't save them all, it's better to focus on the Heartless issue" Tron said.

"I know," Sora said, arms crossed. "The only thing I'm glad about is that these guys can't get into this world, but it's only a matter of time before they find a way out of the Hollows. . . How will we find them?"

"First we must find the dark portals that are created and used to enter the Hollows and seal them" Tron commented having some ideas after all they gave him certain locations where the portals were most found, but he knew that other portals would open in different parts of the Hollows

"You know it will only hold them for a long time, it is better to find the keyhole of this world, and seal it so we can fix the problem" Sora said "But with the Hollows everywhere, it might be difficult, after all it is affecting this world a lot"

"I can't argue with that, but about the Hollows, it happened a long time before the Heartless arrived, but it is something that does not concern us, but the people of this world so that they themselves can solve it in the first place" Tron would say analytically, but when he looked at Sora's face, he had a small expression of seriousness and anger "I regret my words, believe me Sora I would also like to help these people with this crisis, but we do not have the resources or anything to stop all this, my only mission for which I was rebuilt is to stop and stop the advance of the Heartless nothing more"

Tron's words make Sora want to say something, but the more he thought about it, he knew he was right, after all they had no idea how the Hollows originated and he had no ideas to seal them either, but then something occurs to him.

"If I can close the heart of the world, I could maybe fix everything after all by sealing it, natural barriers are created, maybe this will disperse the Hollows" Sora commented looking at his friend

"Analyzing" Tron commented, analyzing Sora's words, looking to see if Sora's theory could work "Analysis completed. . . there is a 10% chance that sealing the heart of the world will work, after all, by sealing the lock, it will make the natural barriers appear, perhaps these can disperse the fissures in the first place, but as I said the chances are very low" he explained his point of view of Sora's theory.

At that point our keyblade bearer heard Tron's words, although the odds were low, it was what he wanted to hear, to maybe save this world, he just hoped his theory was true.

"Tron, you said you have other functions like the Gummiphone. Can you tell me which one you have?" Sora asked, interested in Tron's new functions like his phone in the first place, and he wanted to change the subject for now.

"Well, I can show you some functions, point the Gummiphone camera at those boxes" Tron said.

Sora does as he says and points the camera of his Gummiphone and then a beam will quickly scan the boxes making them disappear and the image of the boxes will be shown.

" Wow " Sora commented surprised by this.

"Unbelievable, isn't it?" Tron commented with a bit of enthusiasm in his voice. "Now put the camera in front and reverse scan."

At that Sora puts his Gummiphone in front and then says the words that Tron told him "Reverse Scan"

At that point the camera fires a ray again, but it starts to bring the boxes back to real life.

Sora was still surprised by this new feature and remembers something "it's like when I entered the world of Tron in Radiant Garden" he commented.

"Something like that, for now this can't scan living beings, it can only scan objects like food and preserve them in their purest possible state, we can carry a lot of things in the Gummiphone, plus if you go to the storage options there are certain things that can help you build a base inside a Hollow in the first place" Tron said.

"Wait. . . the hollows " Sora said surprised by that "Isn't it the dimension that if you stay for too long you can transform into an ethereal?" He asks somewhat confused

"Yes, but it is for the people of this world, and although my analysis tells me that anyone from other worlds can be affected by this dimension, you as the bearer of the Keyblade are free from this curse, because your weapon is like a natural shield that prevents you from being affected when you enter the Hollows, you could be there for months and you would not receive anything, it is very useful when it is necessary to hunt the Heartless or go incognito throughout the place, after all your hunt against the Heartless will attract the attention of the authorities" Tron would explain.

Sora thought about his friend's words, but Tron was somewhat right, he had to avoid drawing attention, after all he no longer had Donald and Goofy to help him, but then something came to his mind.

"By the way, Tron, how do we get into the Hollows?" Sora asks, surprised.

"That's what this other app is for, go to this icon" Tron commented and then the screen showed a portal icon

Sora presses the icon and then four small drones come out of the Gummiphone and they quickly go somewhere, opening a portal, surprising Sora a little.

" Wow " He could only say to see the portal, then enter, after that the four drones quickly disappear into data

In the dimension of the Hollows

Sora was now in a somewhat destroyed and empty city, giving a somewhat uncomfortable and lonely atmosphere, in addition to seeing that the weather was somewhat crazy and seeing certain black things around the place, then he takes his Gummiphone to turn on the screen and see Tron

"So... we're inside the Hollow, aren't we?" Sora asked, looking around. "It feels weird, actually."

"Do you feel something strange Sora?" Tron asks.

"Nothing feels like myself" Sora commented, not feeling anything "Although the place feels very depressing, it is like a ghost town, once full of life and now everything is silent"

"I know what you mean, for now the information I have, you are immune to being corrupted by the Hollow, thanks to the power and protection of the Keyblade for now find a place to set up your base" said Tron

"Good" Sora commented and before he could turn off the screen he was stopped by Tron

"By the way, Sora," Tron said, stopping the shutdown.

"What's wrong Tron?" Our Keyblade wielder asks

"First I'll give you something so we can communicate better and thus prevent you from taking out the Gummiphone so often" Tron commented and then the front camera of the phone shoots a ray, then he hands over some headphones and these fall into Sora's left hand "These headphones will allow us to communicate better"

"That's a good idea Tron" Sora commented with a smile and then put away his Gummiphone and put the headphones on his ears and that's it

"You hear me Sora" Tron said through the headphones

"I hear you loud and clear" Sora responded to Tron's voice

"Well then it works, it's time for you to look for a place where you can establish a base of operations, for now I don't detect any dark portal, that means that the first Heartless haven't arrived yet, but I do detect some Ethereals in the area, I recommend you don't disturb them so as not to attract attention" Tron said through the communication.

"Ok, so I'm on the move" Sora said as he moved through this strange dimension.

For the next few hours Sora had been wandering around the cavity looking at the remains of a city, shops, vehicles, homes and empty facilities, the only inhabitants were Ethereals who just walked around the place, it was a pitiful and sad sight after all they were people before and unfortunately he couldn't heal them.

On the way Sora found some very interesting locations, one example was a free land, but Tron did not approve of it after all it would be an easy view for the ethereals as people who ventured through these places, then he found a building, but Tron also discarded it because part of the place was unstable and he was like that for two hours, wandering around the place, and avoiding the Ethereals of the place, and although he could avoid them or beat them in a battle he could attract attention and they did not want that, but on the way they arrive at a building that was once a shopping center

The place was empty, the shops still had certain things on their shelves, old equipment like products, Tron analyzing the place was perfect, after all the building was in a good state, in addition to seeing the map of the building and also of the place where they were there were places where the base could hide well, free from the sight of so many looters and Ethereals.

"The location of the place, everything as a structure is fine, the base could be installed without problems" Tron commented through the communication when he saw that everything was fine to install a base.

Sora remained silent, but he saw that the place was perfect, even so, when he looked closely he saw a toy store where there were still many of these like restaurants for families, he did not want to imagine the horror that everyone lived when they were swallowed by the cavity that manifested itself in the place.

Tron noticed Sora's silence, but he knew well that he was thinking about the people who unfortunately did not get out of here in time and became Ethereals.

"I know what Sora is thinking. . . It's sad, I guess, but we can't do anything and so that this world doesn't suffer anymore we must prevent the Heartless from manifesting in the place, they've already been through a lot and we don't want it to get even worse because of the Heartless" Tron said through his communicator trying to help Sora face the problem.

Although Tron's words improved his mood, our Keyblade bearer was still sad for the loss of these people, and the worst thing is that they did not know that with the Heartless already roaming around the place, their world was in even more danger, he had a duty to find the way to the heart of this world and prevent it from falling into darkness, he only hoped that, by sealing the heart of the world, the cavities would also disappear.

After those thoughts, Sora goes to a place where Tron told him where he could make the base and it was the warehouse of this building that was underground, when he arrives at the destination, Tron analyzes the place and finds a place where the base could be created.

"This place could work" Tron said through the communication

Sora stopped and looked at the warehouse, an empty part, where there were not many objects. "So… now what?" he asks.

"Leave the Gummiphone on the floor and I'll take care of the rest," Tron said through Communication.

At those words, Sora does as he says and leaves the Gummiphone on the ground, then the main camera begins to expel a ray of light and to Sora's surprise many objects began to come out, first of all, a Computer, along with some chairs and tables, a bed, kitchen equipment among other objects to live in a house and some extra things after a few seconds the light disappears leaving the objects in place

"Amazing" Sora could only say, surprised by what he had just seen and seeing the new objects, a bed to sleep in, as well as kitchen equipment, a computer with a table and everything included, as well as chairs and tables and above all some strange objects that were on the floor.

"Impressive, isn't it?" Tron commented through the communicator.

"I'll say," Sora said without further ado, then looked at the objects in surprise. "By the way, Tron, what am I looking at?" he asked, somewhat interested in the objects, then took one of them, which looked like a small nucleus that shone a deep blue, and showed it to his friend.

"Well, you see, Sora, the first object you are holding, if my analysis is correct, is an Arc reactor from a world beyond. This reactor is so powerful that it can supply energy to a city for decades," Tron commented, looking through the camera.

"Wait. . . What?" Sora asked, very surprised. After all, he knew the basics of electricity, either from his home or thanks to the teachings of Donald and Goofy, but the fact that this device could supply power to a city for years was incredible. "Wait a minute, something like that must be very important, right. . . then how do I have it?" he asked, very surprised, looking at Tron on the screen.

"I honestly have no idea, they only gave me information about the objects that are in our position, but they didn't give me information on how they got them in the first place" Tron commented a little seriously while he crossed his arms.

" You're telling me that possibly some items... are stolen?" Sora asks with a somewhat nervous smile, although if he remembers correctly he is part pirate so he shouldn't feel so guilty or that's what Jack Sparrow said when he spoke to him.

"It could be," Tron said simply, knowing that it could be a logical option. "Unfortunately, the chances of these objects being stolen could be high."

"Oh this is not good" Sora commented a little badly knowing that many of the objects he now has are stolen, and seeing them could be worth a fortune.

"We can't do anything Sora, and although I don't approve of theft, these objects are already out of their worlds of origin, and it's impossible to know where these devices came from in the first place," Tron commented. "We'll have to use them to fulfill our mission of sealing the heart of the world."

Sora remained silent and even though he didn't like it, Tron was right, after all how were they going to return these objects if they didn't know where they came from in the first place, and he needed them to stop the Heartless.

After thinking about it, Sora sighs with some frustration. "We are hopeless, but that doesn't stop me from feeling uncomfortable about using stolen items for this mission."

"The feeling is mutual" Tron said agreeing with Sora

At that point our Keyblade wielder sees another device that had a hole and there he sees the Arc Reactor and he was not lacking in genius knowing that he had to enter that place, at that point Sora puts the Reactor in the hole so that it would enter easily and at that point the device will begin to turn on creating a very strong light causing Sora to cover his eyes for a few moments and then the light will calm down and he can see what had happened.

"Tron what am I looking at?" Sora asks now puzzled by the machine that was glowing a deep blue.

"That, my friend, is the power generator. By placing the Arc reactor, you activated it. Now you can connect all the equipment you have, as well as connect the shield generator and the illusion generator, among other objects that I will show you later. After all of its assembly, it is being a bit difficult for me to get it out of the virtual world." Tron explained about the power generator.

"Wait . . . Shield generator eh illusions? And other items?" Sora asks somewhat surprised.

"You see the two objects, one green and the other dark blue," Tron commented.

In that Sora looks at the two objects and there were the boxes "Yes I see them" he commented this

"The Dark Blue is the shield generator, this will activate if something happens, like a collapse due to ethereals like Heartless, or also to prevent people or monsters from getting close to your things, in addition to a barrier that prevents corrupted energies from entering your base, after all there are chances that Ethereal energy can be harmful to electronic devices, so it is advisable to keep it active" Tron commented and then showed the green object "The green object is a very impressive illusion generator if I may say, it comes from the same world as the Arc reactor, this machine creates illusions so large that it can even hide a building as large as we are right now"

"Ok that's impressive" Sora said surprised by this device "And what about the other objects?"

"Well, as I said, it still needs to be recharged, so don't worry. We can use the generators to hide the base and protect it if someone comes here, covering everything without being disturbed. Plus, we have cameras to monitor the entire place and avoid being surprised by Ethereals or people who venture into the cavities," Tron commented.

"Ok that sounds logical" Sora said and then looked at another object, but now a small robot that looked like a rabbit, but was disguised as a Moogle "that's new" he commented to approach the small robot "Tron what am I looking at?" Sora asks interested, then showing the small rabbit robot

"What you see there, Sora, is a Bangboo, a small robot originally from this world, they serve to warn of possible cavities that are created in the place, but they are also like companions for jobs, as well as important guides in the cavities, the local security forces, as well as other agencies and industries use them" Tron said calmly.

"Wait, it's not stolen, right?" Sora asks, hoping that this little robot that was now his new friend wasn't stolen.

"Relax, this Bangboo was rescued or rebuilt, Hollows are dangerous and many of these Bangboo were destroyed by Ethereals or by criminals who pass through these places" Tron said.

"That's bad," Sora said, then looked at Bangboo. "So how do I activate it?" Sora asked.

"Plug it into the generator, the little one was disabled for a long time, when it wakes up it will be useful later, plus it is modified to help against the Heartless and protect the base while we are away" Tron said.

"Ok" Sora commented and then approached the generator and thanks to Tron's guidance he was able to find the cable to connect the Bangboo to the generator and then connect it to that the visor that would be the eyes of the Bangboo showed a battery that was charging "So how long will it take to charge?" Sora asks

"With the power of the Arc Reactor and all that, it will only take a matter of an hour, enough time to connect the other devices and put the cameras in strategic points to monitor the place" Tron said.

"I understand" Sora said.

At that, Sora began to do what Tron said, first connecting the devices in the place, in addition to activating the generator of illusions and shields, then going out and putting the cameras in strategic points to monitor the environment, after all he had to protect his base well, because it would be useful for the battles that were going to come later.
