Riku has returned to his vessel, standing in the captain’s hold, talking to
Maleficent
Riku: So, Kairi’s like a lifeless puppet now?
Maleficent: Precisely.
He stares at Kairi’s body, lying on the couch in front of him
Riku: And her heart was...
Maleficent: Taken by the Heartless, no doubt.
He whirls around, the desperation showing in his eyes
Riku: Tell me! What can I do?
Maleficent: There are seven maidens of the purest heart. We call them
the princesses of heart. Gather them together, and a door will open to the heart of all
worlds. Within lies untold wisdom. There, you will surely find a way to recover Kairi’s
heart. Now, I’ll grant you a marvelous gift.
She leans closer to him
Maleficent: The power to control the Heartless.
She raises her arms and green energy surrounds him. He takes it in, feeling its power,
and turns to look at Kairi
Riku: Soon, Kairi. Soon.
