Sombra found that Terra was totally surprised by everything that was going on and that he required time to get used to the fact that he even had a body again, as he had been lost in darkness for a long time, though that was why Aqua and Ventus were going to be sticking around for the foreseeable future, to help their friend out. Another thing they discovered was that there was a new entry in their magical tomes, where she found that it was a 'Reflect' spell, meaning that the user could just reflect magic, to a degree since this was the weaker version of the spell, back at the foe that cast it. While Sora directed the Gummi Ship towards the next set of Space Gates, even though it would take some time for them to reach their destination, causing the rest of the group to go about their normal routines once more as they waited for him to tell them he was about to enter one of the structures. Such a thing gave them time to talk to Terra and answer his questions, though for the time being Sombra knew that Aqua and Ventus would be out of commission, and she was fine with that since bringing Terra up to speed was important as well.
The interesting thing about him was that she could sense that his power was both Light and Darkness, which explained why Master Xehanort had been so interested in him, enough to make a plan to steal both his younger body and his power for his own terrible deeds, all while knowing that Terra was firmly on the Light's side. Sombra knew that they were the same to a degree, as Terra stood with the Light and gained some power over Darkness, either by his own hand or by Xehanort's plans, while she started out with the power of Darkness and was constantly stepping into the Light, even gaining the holy element to use it's power. That made her think of what the World had given her, a resistance to the one thing that could hurt her, to which she wondered if the power she could have gained at the start of her quest to help Sora out, the power that burned her hand before disappearing, could now be wielded. Part of her was sure it was a Keyblade, a true Keyblade like what both Radiant and Fluttershy had been given, but in the end she decided not to think about it as she focused on mastering the new spell they had gained after saving Disney Castle.
Eventually, after a few days, Sora brought them to the next set of Space Gates, where they found that the world that was off to their right was none other than Atlantica, Ariel's world, while the one that was in front of them appeared to be some sort of sea world, based on the ship that was part of it's design.
"I think I'll open both gates while we're here, then we'll head into the pirate world." Sora commented, as while he knew that they needed to check out Ariel's world as well, just to be sure there were no Heartless bothering King Triton, part of him had no desire to head down there right now, hence why his focus was on the other world right now.
Sombra was fine with that, as Sora was the pilot and everyone had grown to trust his judgement on which world to visit at which time, causing the boy to being them into the gate to their right and enter the space that needed to be cleared out so the way forward could fully be opened. What they discovered was that this path was half land and half water, or at least that was what it looked like as everyone glanced out of the windows, though Sora did what he did best as he opened fire on the Heartless and Nobody Gummi Ships, allowing Sombra to capture the freed hearts while the ship's systems claimed more of the Gummi Blocks to add to their vessel. Such a thing allowed Terra to see how one of the kids he and his friends had met in the past had grown up, in fact he seemed impressed by Sora's skill at handling the ship as he tore through their enemies, a fact that Aqua and Ventus were used to after having seen him fly around so much after they were saved. With Sora's skills it was only a matter of time before he found the exit and flew through it, opening the path to Ariel's world, though after that he turned around and headed through the second Space Gate, to see what it had to offer them.
The other Space Gate brought them to an area that could pass as an underwater area, as the earth was arranged in shelves and foes were walking on each one, with massive four legged Gummi Ships patrolling the area that awarded them a much larger amount of resources when one was brought down. Sombra was fine with this set up as more materials flowed into the ship's systems, where she found that Terra was interested in what she was doing and showed him how the system worked, where it sucked up the blocks from their slain enemies and converted it into material that went into improving their ship and the Teeny Ships. A portion of the incoming material went into expanding the inside of the ship so Terra could have his own room, as there was an entire floor full of bedrooms, while the rest flowed out into the rest of their vessel, strengthening it and empowering their weapons, to the point where a new gun or two might form if there was enough material. It gave Sora a boost in power, allowing him to inflict more damage on his enemies and maneuver out of the way of incoming attacks, as if he had always been able to do this, causing the others to just tell Terra that this was common.
Once he was done with the second Space Gate, and the way was open, Sora flew close to the world that was in front of them and came to a stop as one of the systems located a good place to warp them down to, where Aqua and the others remained behind with Terra as the main group warped down to the world's surface... coming to a place that appeared to be a port town of some kind, in the middle of the night.
"You know, this place is kind of different... in a good way." Sora commented, as there was something about this world that just stuck with him, even though they had barely seen anything of it, while at the same time he stood on a portion of the wall and glanced out at the rest of the town that was nearby, where he heard the sound of something happening, "We're barely here five minutes and someone wants to make trouble... come on, let's go see what's going on."
As they descended upon the town it didn't take them long to track down the troublemakers, where it was Pete talking to a group of pirates, especially one that looked like a captain, though Pete was annoyed that they were even here, because this meant that they were going to ruin his plans for this world, causing him and the Captain to depart. Some of the pirates did stay behind and attacked the group, though that was when everyone discovered something interesting, it didn't matter what they did or how they retaliated against the pirates, because the pirates remained unharmed after being struck with the edge of a Keyblade or after being set on fire. Sombra instantly understood what they were seeing right now, they were cursed in some manner, as they had some sort of immortality that prevented them from being harmed, causing her to smirk for just a moment as she focused her dark power on her target and shattered his curse, allowing her to cut him down. Such a thing caused her to discover that he seemed to morph into a golden ball of energy and rush off into the distance, totally different from a heart, though they also found that there was another way to bring them down, as the moonlight showed them what the pirates really were, skeletons without flesh and blood.
Sora and the others were able to confirm that they were able to harm the pirates in this state, meaning they had to make sure they were in the moonlight before they could even damage them, and sure enough each one that fell happened to be turned into a golden orb that rushed off into the distance.
Once the pirates were dealt with the group headed into the town, where they found a lady being carried off by some pirates and a young man seemed worried about her safety, though that was when more enemies, Shadows, attacked him and that caused the group to crash into them. Fluttershy asked the man about himself and the lady, allowing them to find out that he was called Will and the lady was Elizabeth Swann, though while she was the daughter of the Governor Will had no idea why she would be targeted, since these pirates seemed to be ignoring the actual wealth their town had. Such a thing allowed the group to see that there was another type of Heartless in this world, what appeared to be a round cannon that walked and fired off shots rather quickly, like a gun, which was why Sombra went with 'Cannon Gun' as she and the others tore right through them. As she captured the freed hearts they found that Will, whose full name was William Turner and that he really preferred to go by 'Will', was quite impressed by their skills, even admitting that his own fencing skills were no match for the skills the group possessed, so since Elizabeth had been taken he was hoping their skills would aid in her rescue.
"The pirates will be far away from Port Royal by the time we get to the docks, but that's not going to stop me from trying to save Elizabeth." Will said, which meant that he was in love with her, that much most of them could see right now, and that he would do anything and everything in his power to make sure she was safe, even if that meant tracking down cursed pirates to save her, causing the pony girls to realize that Elizabeth was lucky to have someone like Will in her life.
As they made their way to the docks, however, there were a number of Heartless, in the form of Shadows and the Cannon Guns, that tried to stop them from reaching their destination, though that didn't stop Sora and the others from tearing their way through the Heartless, while Sombra captured the free hearts. In addition to that there were a few more pirates that came out to attack them, which was interesting to see, though instead of wasting magic on them Sombra just kicked them out into the moonlight and allowed the others to bring those foes down, causing Will to realize that they had a lot of battle experience. Since the pirates and Heartless didn't matter to the group they were able to reach the docks in record time, to which they watched as a black ship sailed off into the distance at a speed that was unheard of, causing Seras to shift her gaze to Sombra for a moment, who nodded. It was a cursed pirate ship, or blessed in the eyes of the pirates, and it wasn't like the curse on the pirates, rather this one seemed to be more in the sense of increased speed, meaning they would need a great ship to chase after it without losing it.
"Looks like you were a little too late, mate. The girl is gone, and the Black Pearl is nigh uncatchable." a new voice said, where they found another pirate, this one looking more like a captain than even the enemy pirate captain they had seen, standing on a nearby ship, like he was inspecting it, meaning he was planning on taking it out for his own plans.
"What are you doing aboard the Interceptor? She's off limits to civilians." Will asked, though it seemed like he knew the pirate in question, as he was rather casual towards someone who seemed to be in the middle of stealing the ship, while Sora was simply beaming as they walked over to the ship.
"Ah, fortunate that I'm going to commandeer her, then... she's going to make a fine pirate ship. Also, it's Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please." the pirate replied, naming himself so no one would say something stupid while he was working, even if it seemed like he was missing something incredibly important right now, that being a crew of his own, while Will sighed as he thought about something for a few moments.
Will told Jack that he wanted the pirate to take him out to sea and chase down the Black Pearl, that if Jack did this he would consider his debt paid since he had busted the pirate out of his cell earlier, though Sora was the one to sweeten the deal, as he offered them as the crew, which they'd be able to do rather easily.
"Really? You want to be a pirate?" Sombra asked, as that didn't seem too far out there, especially after how well Sora took to piloting the Gummi Ship and moving through space, so she wasn't too surprised by this fact, but she felt like asking after Jack agreed to take them off and told them to make ready while he went out to gather some items.
"Yeah, it's been a dream of mine since I was little. I never thought I'd be able to make it come true." Sora replied, because in his room in his parent's house in the Destiny Islands, before he and his friends were dragged into the battle between Light and Darkness, he had a number of ship and pirate related items, hence why he had fought with Riku so much to be the captain of their raft, "I can't wait to see what happens next."
Sombra chuckled a little as she and the others made the ship ready to depart, because it was good to see that Sora was so excited, instead of being worried about what the Organization was trying to do with the various worlds, and it only made her wonder what the future held for them and the people of this world.
