TRAVERSE TOWN - Part III

Talking to Cid to get the navigation gummi installed..

Cid: Hey, got another navigation gummi there, eh?
         I'll bet you want it installed?
Sora: Yeah, please.
Cid: Okay, wait here.
         I'll get it installed right now.

Cid leaves them, but Sora looks glum.

Donald: Sora!
Goofy: Now, remember what Donald said to ya:
              no frowning, no sad faces.
Sora: How can you be so cheerful?
           There's still no sign of you king.
           Aren't you worried?
Donald: Aw, phooey.
Goofy: The king told us to go out and find the key bearer, and we
              found you.
              So as long as we stick together, it'll all work out okay.
              You just gotta believe in yourself, that's all.
Sora: Just believe...
Kairi: I believe in you.

A flashback occurs, in a place where an old woman sits and tells a story to a young Kairi.

Sora, thinking: Where am I?
Grandmother: Long ago, people lived in peace, bathed in
                             the warmth of light.
                             Everyone loved the light.
                             Then people began to fight over it.
                             They wanted to keep it for themselves.
                             And the darkness was born in their hearts.
                             The darkness spreads, swallowing the light and
                             many people's hearts.
                             But small fragments of light survived...
                             In the hearts of children.
                             With these fragments of light, children rebuilt the lost
                             world.
                             It's the world we live in now.
                             But the true light sleeps, deep within the darkness.
                             That's why the worlds are still scattered, divided from
                             each other.
                             But someday, a door to the innermost darkness will
                             open.
                             And true light will return.
                             So, listen, child.
                             Even in the deepest darkness,
                             There will always be a light to guide you.
                             Believe in the light and the darkness will never defeat
                             you.
                             Your heart will shine with its power and push the
                             darkness away.
                             Do you understand, Kairi?
Sora: Kairi?

Sora floats towards small Kairi, but as he reaches for her, she fades away. He finds himself back in Traverse Town.

Sora: Huh?
Googy: What's the matter?
Sora: Um, nothing.
           Kairi... Did you call me?

Cid returns.

Cid: I installed that navigation gummi.
        But you know?
        That place is crawling with Heartless.
        Don't say I didn't warn you.
Sora: ?
Cid: Here, take this along.

Off to Geppetto's House.

Sora: Pinocchio?
Pinocchio: Hey, it's Sora!
Geppetto: Well, hello, Sora!
Sora: How did you get here?
Geppetto: A man named Leon helped us.
                      He even got us this house to live in.
                      I don't know how I'll ever repay his kindness.
                      Say, I heart you three are fighting the Heartless.
                      I thought I might be able to help you, so I made this.
Sora: For us?
Geppetto: But of course! Pinocchio and I can't thank you enoguh!
                      We'll do anything we can to help you.

End: Traverse Town - Part III.
