Yuffie: Not sure why, but the Heartless are getting stronger. New
types of Heartless are popping up all over the place! If anything happens to us, I know
we can count on you, Sora.
Kairi: Even in your Heartless form, I knew it was you.
Aerith: I thought the Keyhole would strength the darkness. I mean the
darkness is strong, but still... It’s almost as if someone is holding the darkness
back.
Leon: It seems the other princesses have been freed as well. Jasmine
apparently hasn’t returned to Agrabah. I suspect the others are still in the castle,
too.
Sora speaks to Aerith
Aerith: Do you remember seeing a man with spiky hair at the
coliseum?
Sora: Yup.
Aerith: I wonder if he’s still searching for his friend? Sora. If you
see him, please tell him to be careful. He’s not that friendly, but we all care about
him dearly.
They find Cid in the First District
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 came 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!
Sora, Donald, and Goofy enters the Secret Waterway, seeing Kairi there. She stares
down the cave to a painting of the sun
Kairi: What a mysterious mural... It’s almost hypnotizing.
Sora walks up to the mural, which starts to glow. It changes into a crescent moon and
a small gummi block floats out of it, landing in Sora’s hands. Sora returns to
Kairi
Sora: Let’s go back and join the others. We should rest up
Kairi: Okay.
