Traverse Town, Part 2

- In the waterway which is in the alley which is in the 2nd District.

Talk to Aerith.

Aerith: This place is so mysterious.
Talk to Leon.

Leon: So, you found the Keyhole.
Sora: Yeah.
           The Keyblade locked it automatically.
Aerith: Good.
Leon: Every world among the stars has a Keyhole.
           And each one leads to the heart of that world.
            There must be one in this town as well.
Sora: What do you mean?
Aerith: It was in Ansem's report.
Leon: The Heartless enter through the Keyhole and do
            something to the world's core.
Sora: What happens to the world?
Aerith: In the end, it disappears.
Sora, Donald and Goofy: What!
Leon: That's why your Key is so important.
Aerith: Please lock the Keyholes.
              You're the only one who can.
Sora: I don't know...
Leon: Seeing other worlds would probably serve you well.
Donald: Yeah!
Goofy: We gotta find your friends!
              And King Mickey!
Sora: I guess you're right...            Okay!

Sora looks up, determinedly.

Talk to Leon again.

Sora: Hey, Leon.
          This gummi block's different from the others.
          Do you know what it is for?
Leon, thinking: ... ... ...
Aerith: Ask Cid. He should know.
Leon: Wait, Sora. Take this with you.
           This stone holds some mysterious power.
           I've been carrying it around for luck.
           I want you to hold onto it.
Sora: How do you use it?
Leon, thinking: ...

In the Accessory Shop, talk to Cid.

Cid: What've you got there?
         Hey!
         Well, if it ain't a gummi block.
Donald: Yup.
Goofy: What's this one for?
Cid: You're kiddin' me!
         You're flying a gummi ship and you don't know
         nothin' about navigation gummis?
         Bunch of pinheads.
         Interspace ain't no playground.
Sora: There's a lot we don't know.
          So what!
          We have to use the gummi ship to go to other worlds.
          We don't have a choice.
Cid: Whoa, easy.
         I didn't know.
         No hard feelings, all right?
         Well, I guess I could lend ya'll a hand, then.
Sora: Thanks.
Cid: Basically, with navigation gummis, you can go to new places.
         You want one on your ship, right?
         I'll install it for you.
         But I got this thing I gotta go deliver first.
Sora: What do you need to deliver?
Cid: Just this book.
         It's real old. When the guy brought it in, it was practically falling apart.
         Too beat up to restore it to the way it was.
         But overall, I did a decent job puttin' it back together.
         Anyway, you mind delivering it for me?
         It's the old house past Third District. Look for a big fire sign.

*thud*

Sora: W-What was that?
Cid: Hmm? The bell at the Gizmo Shop is ringing.
         Go check it out if you want, but deliver that book for me first.
         When you're done, stop by the house in the Third District.
         I'll be there.

In Mystical House.

Kairi: There's something about this musty place...
          It reminds me of the secret place back home.
          Where we used to scribble on the walls.
          Remember?
Sora: Kairi?
Goofy: Sora?
Merlin: Well, well.
              You've arrived sooner than I expected.
Sora: Wha... You knew we were coming?
Merlin: Of course.
Sora: Are you... a Heartless?
Donald: He doesn't look like one.
Merlin: Oh, my. No.
              My name is Merlin. As you can see, I am a sorcerer.
              I spend much of my time traveling.
              It's good to be home.
              Your king has requested my help.
Goofy: King Mickey?
Merlin: Yes, indeed.
              Donald, Goofy. And who might you be, young man?
Sora: I'm Sora.
Merlin: Ah. So, you have found the Key.
Donald: What did the King ask you to do?
Merlin: Just a moment...
              Presto!

Merlin's furniture start to float out of his bag and rearrange themselves.

Merlin: There, now.
              Ahem.
              Your king asked me to train you in the arts of magic.
              We can start any time you like.
              Let me know when you're ready to begin the training.
              Oh, and one more thing.
Fairy Godmother: Hello, I'm the Fairy Godmother.
                                   Your king asked me to help, too.
                                   I will assist throughout your journey.
Merlin: I do not know how much I can be of help,
              but do stop by anytime.

Talk to Merlin again.

Merlin: Oh, that book...
              So, Cid asked you to bring this. Thank you.
              You wish to know what kind of book it is?
              I don't even know myself.
              In fact, it's not mine.
              Somehow it found its way into my bag one day.
              It's such a curious book, I asked Cid to repair it for me.
              Well, I guess I'll put it here somewhere, for now.
              This book holds a great secret. The missing pages will unlock it.
              I'll leave the book over there.
              You can look at it whenever you like.
              My best regards to Cid for repairing it for me.
              Oh, and about this stone of yours...
              You should ask the Fairy Godmother about that.

Talk to the Fairy Godmother.

Sora: Do you know what this is?
Fairy Godmother: Oh, the poor thing!
                                   He has turned into a summoning gem.
Sora: A summon gem?
Fairy Godmother: Yes, but only his spirit.
                                    Now, watch!
                                    Bibbity, bobbity, boo!
                                    Whenever you call, he will help you.
                                    If you find any more of these, bring them to me.
                                    Don't worry, when their worlds are restored they will return there.
                                    Sora, please save them.
Sora: Don't worry, I will.

Back at the Third District.

Heartless appear.

Riku: There you are. What's going on?
Sora: Riku!
Riku: Hey, hey, cut it out.
Sora: I'm not dreaming this time, right?
Riku: I hope not. Took forever to find you.
Sora: Riku!
          Wait a second. Where's Kairi?
Riku: Isn't she with you?
          Well, don't worry.
          I'm sure she made it off the island, too.
          We're finally free.
          Hey, she might even be looking for us now.
          We'll all be together again soon.
          Don't worry.
          Just leave everthing to me.
          I know this--

A Heartless Shadow appears. Sora destroys it with the Keyblade.

Sora: Leave it to who?
Riku: Sora, what did you--
Sora: I've been looking for you and Kairi, too, with their help.
Riku: Who are they?
Donald: Ahem. My name is--
Sora: We've visited so many places and worlds, looking for you.
Riku: Really? Well, what do you know?
          I never would have guessed.
Goofy: Oh, and guess what?
              Sora's the Keyblade master.
Donald: Who would've thought it?
Sora: What's that mean?
Riku: So, this is called a Keyblade?

Riku inspects the Keyblade in his hands. Sora looks up from glaring at Donald.

Sora: Huh?
          Hey, give it back.
Riku: Catch!

Riku tosses the Keyblade back to Sora.

Sora: Whoa!
          Okay, so you're coming with us, right?
          We've got this awesome rocket.
          Wait 'til you see it!
Donald: No, he can't come!
Sora: What?
Donald: Forget it!
Sora: Oh, come on! He's my friend!
Donald: I don't care!
Goofy: He's gone.
Sora: Riku?

The spot where Riku was standing is empty.

Sora: Nice going.
          Oh, well. At least he's okay.
          And who knows?
          Maybe he'll run into Kairi soon, too.

Go into the Small House. Talk to Cid.

In the Small House.

Cid: You guys ever hear of Maleficent?
         I hear she's in town.
Sora: Who is she?
Cid: A witch, man. She's a witch!
Leon: She's the reason this town is full of Heartless.
          Don't take her lightly.
Aerith: She's been using the Heartless for years.
Leon: We lost our world, thanks to her.
Cid: One day, a swarm of Heartless took over our world!
Leon: That was nine years ago.
Cid: I got out of that mess and came here with these guys.
Donald: That's awful!
Leon: Our ruler was a wise man named Ansem.
          He dedicated his life to studying the Heartless.
Cid: His report should tell us how to get rid of the Heartless.
Sora: Where's the report?
Leon: We don't know.
          It got scattered when our world was destroyed.
Cid: I'm sure Maleficent's got most of the pages.

Outside the Small House.

Maleficent: You see? It's just as I told you.
                       While you toiled away trying to find your dear friend,
                       he quite simply replaced you with some new companions.
                       Evidently, now he values them far more than he
                       does you.
                       You're better off without that wretched boy.
                       Now think no more of him, and come with me.
                       I'll help you find what you're searching for...

In the Small House again.

Cid: So, you delivered that book?
         The navigation gummi's installed and ready to go.
         You find another one, you bring it to me.
         I threw in a warp gummi for the heck of it.
         Now you can jump to worlds you've been to before.
         Well, better get back to my real job.
         What's my real job?
         You'll see.
         See me at First District.
Aerith: I've been thinking about the bell in the Second District.
Sora: The one that rang a bit ago?
Yuffie: The one above the gizmo shop. There's a legend about it,
              you know.
Aertih: But it's all boarded up.
              Nobody can get in there.
Cid: Heck, go check it out.
         Ring it three times to see if anything happens.

Talk to Yuffie.

Yuffie: This room will be our secret base.
              It's nice and snug in here.

Talk to Aerith.

Aerith: We will try to find out what Maleficent is up to.

Talk to Leon.

Leon: So that was a summon gen...
          Interesting.

Go to the bell above the Gizmo Shop, and ring it three times. Then, fight the Guard Armor and Opposite Armor.

Back at the First District.

Talk to Cid.

Cid: Hey, now that was quick!
         Now you know, I'm in the gummi block business.
         Workin' on your gummi ship sure is great.
