TRAVERSE TOWN - Part IV

Back in Traverse Town, Leon.

Leon: Tell me what happened.

Sora tells the tale.

Leon: So the darkness is flowing out of that Keyhole...
Aerith: No wonder there are more and more Heartless everywhere.
             The only way to stop them is--
Sora: Seal the Keyhole, right?
Leon: Maybe. But no one knows what will happen once it's sealed.
Sora: Well, we can't just stay here.
           We have to do something.
           I've got a friend back there.
Leon: That's right.
           You have one more friend to worry about.
           Riku's Keyblade must have been born of the capture
           princesses' hearts--
           Just like that Keyhole you saw.
           Of course, without Kairi's heart, it remained incomplete.
           Once the Keyblade was destroyed, the princesses' hearts
           should have been freed.
           Don't worry, Sora.
           If anyone can save your friend, you can.

Go to talk to Cid to get your ship fixed to go to Hollow Bastion again.

Sora: Cid, I need to go back to Hollow Bastion.
Cid: I don't think I can let you do that, kid.
         The Heartless there are multiplying by the minute.
         They'd eat your ship up.
Sora: Then what can we do?
Cid: Simple. Go around 'em instead of through.
         Install a new navigation gummi and take a new route.
Sora: A new gummi?
          From where?
Cid: The secret waterway.
         When I cam here 9 years ago, I stored it there in case I ever
         needed it.
         Never thought a kid would be the one to use it!

Off to the secret waterway!

Kairi: What a mysterious mural...
          It's almost hypnotizing.

Do your thing with the mural. It will change from sun to moon. A navi-gummi will pop out.

Sora: Let's go back and join the others.
          We should rest up.
Kairi: Okay.

The two of you get back to shore, and then Kairi comments.

Kairi: A light, at the end of the tunnel...
Sora: Oh, your grandma's story, right?
Kairi: That's right. We were together.
Sora: You know what's funny?
          I looked everywhere for you, but you were with me all along.
          Finally, we're together, Kairi.
          Now, it's time to get Riku back.
Kairi: You think it'll ever be the same again between us?
          Riku's lost his...
Sora: When I turned into a Heartless, you saved me, remember?
          I was lost in the darkness.
          I couldn't find my way.
          As I stumbled through the dark, I started forgetting things--
          my friends, who I was.
          The darkness almost swallowed me.
          But then I heard a voice--your voice.
          You brought me back.
Kairi: I didn't want to just forget about you, Sora.
          I couldn't.
Sora: That's it!
          Our hearts are connected.
          And the light from our hearts broke through the darkness, I saw
          that light.
          I think that's what saved me.
          No matter how deep the darkness, a light shines within.
          I guess it's more than just a fairy tale.
Kairi: Well, let's go.
Sora: You can't go.
Kairi: Why not?
Sora: Because it's way too dangerous.
Kairi: Come on, Sora.
          We made it this far by sticking together.
          You can't go alone.
Sora: Kairi, even if we're apart, we're not alone anymore.
          Right?
Kairi: I can't help?
Sora: You'd kind of be in my way.
Kairi: (giggle) Okay.
          You win.

She gives him a keychain with a star on it.

Kairi: Take this.
          It's my lucky charm.
          Be sure to give it back to me.
Sora: Don't worry. I will.
Kairi: Promise?
Sora: Promise.
Kairi: Don't ever forget.
          Wherever you go, I'm always with you.

Enough of that cuteness! Go talk to Cid.

Cid: You found it? All right, I'll go fix up your ship.
        All set! You can get going any time.
        Kid, I gotta say, I wish you didn't have to face all this danger.

End: Traverse Town Part IV.
