They meet back up with the princesses in the chapel
Alice: Thank you, Sora. I think the darkness has begun to
weaken.
Jasmine: But I can feel a powerful darkness growing somewhere far
away.
Aurora: It’s the heart of the darkness. It must be where Ansem
went.
Sora: Then we’ll take the gummi ship and deal with both Ansem and the
Heartless.
Cinderella: A worthy answer, Keyblade master. We offer this power to
aid your battle.
Cinderella upgrades Sora’s Fira spell
Snow White: Sora, your courage can bring back our worlds.
Aurora: Once the darkness is gone, all should return to its original
state.
Sora: Kairi will be back on the island?
Cinderella: Most certainly. And you should be, too.
Sora: I can’t go home ‘til I find Riku and the king.
Cinderella: I still can’t believe we played a part in opening the
Keyhole. To think we had such a power... Simply unimaginable! My world is gone, so I
suppose I must stay here for the time being.
Alice: The darkness still lingers, so we’ll stay as well. Otherwise,
this world will be destroyed, too. We’ll do all we can. You helped me during that silly
trial. Now it’s my turn to help you.
Aurora: Maleficent used to live in our world. She used her great
powers to control the darkness... But eventually it came to control her. I’m so glad the
others are here with me.
Snow Whtie: The darkness took my home. I don’t know where to go now.
I hope my loved ones are safe somewhere. I’ll do whatever I can to keep this world from
being taken, too. I just want everything back as it was before.
Jasmine: Please don’t tell Aladdin about all this. He will worry to
death if you do! I will tell him about it, once I return to Agrabah. I hope everything
is all right in Agrabah.
Sora and company return to the Library and speak to Aerith
Aerith: Sora, you should read this.
Sora: Read what?
Aerith: It’s the rest of Ansem’s report. Maleficent must have
collected it.
She hands him the report
Aerith: Ansem disappeared when this world fell to the darkness. It
was believed he died defending people from the Heartless. But Ansem was the one who
brought them here. Ansem waits in darkness. But here’s a little light to protect you,
Sora.
She upgrades his healing spell
Aerith: Read that report and you’ll understand Ansem’s intentions. I
believe the worlds can be restored. They are still alive.
They speak to Leon and Yuffie
Yuffie: Ansem and Maleficent were both possessed by darkness. You
know, I just don’t get it. What’s so great about the darkness?
Leon: This was once Ansem’s castle. He was widely respected as a wise
man. But darkness took him. He began experimenting with people’s hearts. Heh, some wise
man. So much suffering and ruin, and for what?
Yuffie: This is my home, but it just doesn’t feel like it. I don’t
remember much, ‘cause I was only a kid.
Leon: We thought this was Maleficent’s doing. But she was just
another puppet of the darkness. Just like Ansem. This darkness is our real enemy. But
how to beat it? Well, first things first. Let’s purge every last Heartless we can
find.
Yuffie: There are no Heartless here, so rest up. We’ve gotta get rid
of the Heartless and rebuild this world.
Leon: I won’t use my real name until this world is restored.
They speak to Belle
Belle: Ansem desires the darkness. He thinks it’s the source of all
power. What nonsense. Darkness may shroud light, but it can never extinguish it. Sora,
don’t succumb to the darkness. You and the Keyblade can defeat it.
