After the events of Monstro, Donald and Goofy is flying the ship to find a new world in hopes of finding King Mickey. Sora was thinking about Riku and worried if they aren't friends again. Red was being very guilty about Geppetto and Pinocchio not being saved in time. He seems to wonder if the keyblade made a mistake. Twilight, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack are watching over Rarity as she was being healed. She seems to have told them about why she has to be forced to help them. Then she started waiting for them to hate her.

Twilight asked, "So you help them because you were worried about us?"

Rarity nodded while feeling guilty. But Pinkie Pie hugged her very tightly. She said, "We were so worried about you! We didn't realize that meanie pony hurt you Rarity!"

"Wait, you darlings don't even hate me," asked Rarity while confused still.

Applejack said, "We are still upset for Jasmine and whoever this Alice is, but we can't hate you. Ya were forced."

"Yeah but...-"

Twilight cut her off, "No buts! We are glad to see you again."

Raity says, "Thanks sisters... This is all so sweet of you. But she disabled my magic from my horn."

Twilight thinks as she looks at it. Then aims her horn to help her out.

"Here you go Rarity! Though it isn't all of your magic, I'm still able to recover some of it," said Twilight while she was smiling.

Rarity smiles more and looks at her. Then said, "Thank you so much Twilight. So how much did you recover? Half? 75 percent? 60 percent?"

"More like.... a little over 25," said Twilight as she blushed while embarrassed.

Rarity sighed and might as well take it as it is.

"Thank you so much everyone. But I feel like I should repay you guys," said Rarity as she showed how guilty she was.

Red looks at her and says, "You don't have to. She forced you to help her."

"I know! But-"

Red cut her off, "It's no worries."

Rarity sighs and wished she could repay them for betraying them like this.

Twilight was concerned about Star Mage back in Monstro. She has never met her before. The purple mare was very sure of it.

Applejack ask her, "How does she know you? Ah never seen her before."

Rarity included, "She never exactly told me who she was. Until she took off that awful looking cloak. All she said was that she wanted to make you pay."

That really didn't help with anything. Twilight wonders even more about who she is. This goes on until they have reached a new world. It seems the world is in a ocean.

Donald then announced, "Okay guys! Parepare for landing!"

Sora then asked, "Land where? In the sea? We'll drown!"

"Not with my magic, we won't. Just leave it to me," exclaims Donald as they started heading towards the underwater world.

They finally arrived and had such strange appearances to their forms.

Sora became shirtless and has a dolphin tail, the ponies had their hind legs to be switched to mermaid tails, Donald has octopus legs, and Goofy turned into a turtle while still having his head.



They tried swimming, but they were very confused since they never had these forms before.

Applejack looks at Donald and asked, "What is going on Donald?"

Donald answered her, "We changed forms to protect the world order."

Pinkie Pie asked, "Protect the world border?"

Donald corrected her, "ORDER!"

Red sighed as he couldn't be able to figure it out. He asked, "How are we supposed to find the keyhole when we can't swim like this?"

Just then, they started to notice someone started swimming towards them. It seems to be a red headed mermaid, a yellow and blue fish, and a red crab.

The mermaid, named Ariel, exclaims excitedly, "Come on Sebastian!"

The crab, named Sebastian yells, "Ariel wait! Slow down! Don't leave me behind!"

Sebastian swims too close to Donald as he gave him a glare. This makes Sebastian scream and hid behind Ariel.

"Oh relax, Sebastian. They don't look like one of them. Right Flounder," asked the mermaid as the fish, named Flounder, seems slightly suspicious of them.

Sora asked nervously, "Wh-what do you mean?"

Ariel swims around them and goes to Sora. She said, "They do seem... a little different. Where are you from?"

They tried to come up with a lie so they don't reveal that they are from another world.

Then Twilight came up with something and said, "We're from kind of far away."

Sora continued while nervous, "And we're not really used to these waters."

Ariel then said, "Oh I see. Guess you must be with Fluttershy then."

Looks like she was able to fall for their lie. Wait Fluttershy?

That makes Red very interested. Fluttershy is safe? And here too?

"Sh-she's here? Where is she," asked Red as he was about to swim to see where she is but can't because he doesn't know how to swim in his seapony form.

Ariel answered, "She's where I left her at. So she doesn't get hurt. Oh I have an idea. Sebastian can help you know how to swim around here and we can take you to her."

Rarity then said, "That's very perfect. Thank you, Ariel was it?"

She nodded to answer, but Sebastian seems to have a problem with it.

"Ariel! King Triton will not like this," exclaims Sebastian while being scared.

Ariel rolls her eyes and ignored him as he starts to help teach him.

After some time of swimming, they finally got it handled very well and seem to know how to swim.

Sebastian said, "Good job. Now let's move onto self-defense."

They were about to do the lesson, until Ariel starts to yell out. She yelled, "Sebastian!"



They then notice a bunch of sea heartless swim to them. Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian went to hide while the others go up against the heartless.

Apple jack said, "Oh great. More heartless."

Red included, "Wait but we never fought in these kind of forms before."

Twilight then responded, "Well let's try and learn how to guys."

They started to fight the heartless. It seems to be going well but... they were having a hard time. Everyone keeps barely hitting them and struggle to bring in good strikes on the heartless.

The heartless were able to give lucky hits while missing a few times. Then more spawned in and surrounded them.

Donald complained, "Oh no! What can we do?!"

Red looks down as he feels like they won't win. He close his eyes to accept defeat until... something in his heart tells him to not give up.

He then open his eyes to give a determined look. Then rushed to the heartless to strike one. For some reason he is able to fight underwater.

Pinkie Pie asked, "Woah! How do you learn it so quickly?"

Red looks at her and answered, "I don't actually know. Something was able to help me. I guess we just have to just believe in ourselves."

Applejack sighs as she tries to do that as she starts to swim towards a heartless and did a kick with her mermaid tail. The others were impressed as they start to fight against the heartless.

The others start to win against the heartless as they panted heavily and was thankful that they were able to defeat the heartless.

So they headed back to Ariel and her friends to give them the word that it's safe now.

Ariel told them, "Thank you for helping us."

They nodded at her until Sebastian swim to Ariel and Flounder. "Those monsters might be heading for the palace, too," exclaimed Sebastian as he was frightened.

Ariel sighed as she turned towards the heroes. She said, "I'm sorry, but we need your help. Those monsters are going to hurt everyone in the palace. Can you please come to the palace with us?"

Sora answered, "Sure we can go."

Everyone nodded, including Red. Even though he wanted to see Fluttershy to see if she is okay, he still needs to help out the people in the ocean world from heartless.

Red asked, "So how can we get to the palace?"

Ariel then tells him, "The trident markers on the walls point the way there."

Red then said, "Alright let's go!"

They started to go with Ariel as they follow the trident marks to the palace.


Atlantica


They continue heading through the ocean world while following the trident marks. Red was smiling as he was happy to hear that Fluttershy is here. But very worried that she could be in danger from the heartless.

Finally they have arrived at the palace as three heartless were close behind them. When the heartless were about to attack them, they got hit with a thunder spell. It came from the king of the sea, King Triton.

"That was too close. As long as I have my trident, I will not tolerate those creatures inside this palace," said the sea king.

Ariel was very happy to see him until he was very upset.

He told her, "Oh, Ariel! When will you listen? It's dangerous out there!"

Sebastian then clears his throat before saying, "Behold. You swim before the ruler of the seas: His Majesty, King Triton!"

The sea king takes a look at heroes as he was confused. He asked, "And who are they?"

Ariel answered, "They helped us fight off those creatures."

Triton then said, "They don't look familiar."

Twilight told him, "We're from an ocean very far away."

Goofy then suddenly spoke out, "Yup. We came to find the Keyhole."

Donald covered Goofy's mouth before he spoke way too much.

Ariel was curious as she asked, "What's that?"

The others didn't want to reveal too much so Applejack tries to explain.

She said, "Well it's a-"

But she was cut off by King Triton.

"There's no such thing! Certainly not here," exclaimed Triton as it was clear to everyone but Ariel, Sebastian, and Flounder that he knew about the keyhole.

Ariel then spoftly spoke, " But Daddy..."

Triton told her, "Ariel not another word! You are not to leave the palace. Is that clear?"

Ariel was very upset until she starts swimming away. The others quickly went to follow her.

Triton sighed before speaking, "Perhaps I'm being too strict... I'm just concerned for her safety."

Sebastian agreed and said, "Of course Your Majesty. But I must admit, now I'm quite curious about this Keyhole."

Triton grabs him and tells him, "That need not concern you, Sebastian."

He then let him go before asking, "Have you anything to report?"

Sebastian answered, "Just as you suspected, Your Majesty, they seem to be coming from Ursula's grotto."

This makes Triton upset as he said, "I knew it. That sea witch is up to no good again. I see exile from the palace has taught her nothing."

Meanwhile with the others, they were very close to Ariel's Grotto. So she tells them, "Come to my grotto. I want to show you something."

They went into her grotto and saw all the amazing things in there. Many different types of artifacts in the area. Suddenly they heard very soft humming that sounds very amazing. The ponies are able to recognize the humming.

They look to see Fluttershy humming to herself while enjoying her time here. Then she saw that they were here. She rushed over to them and was happy to see them.

"You all are okay," exclaimed the shyful pony as she was very happy to see them.

Red spoke to her, "We searched all over for you... I'm glad you are okay Fluttershy."

They smile at each other as the other ponies look at them and giggled. This makes the two ponies blush and moved away. 

Fluttershy then said, "I'm so sorry for making you all worried. I was so scared that no one found me. Until I met Ariel. I was so thankful for her helping me."

Red told her, "It's alright. We were all worried for each other. We also met some new people. This is Sora, Donald, and Goofy. They are our new friends."

She smiles meeting them as they look at Ariel. Ariel said, "Look at all the wonderful things Flounder and I've collected. I think it's all from the outside world. Someday, I'm going to see what's out there. I want to see other worlds. Does that sound strange?"

Sora spoke, "No. Not at all. I used to feel the same way."

Ariel questions, "Used to?"

This makes Twilight elbow his arm to not say too much.

Sora told her, "Ow! Uh I mean, I still do."

Ariel then suggest an idea. She told them, "Well why don't we try looking for that Keyhole you were talking about?"

Fluttershy was confused on what keyhole they were talking about. The others look at each other and wasn't sure.

Applejack responds, "That would be great Ariel. But ah don't think your dad will-"

"He treats me like a little girl. He never wants to let me do anything. He just... He just doesn't understand," said Ariel as she cuts off Applejack.

Sora then said, "Well we might as well let her come with us."

They nod as they start to move out with her. But they didn't know that they were watched secretly by Ursula from her grotto.

"Those impudent fools will never find the Keyhole. But the girl could prove useful. And I've got the Heartless on my side. Triton, my old friend... Your day is coming," said Ursula as she laughs evilly while watching them.

While on the way to find the keyhole Red and Fluttershy were behind the others to talk with each other.

Fluttershy asked, "So you and Twilight helped find Pinkie Pie and Applejack while finding keyholes? This seems like a lot to deal with Red."

Red nods and continues swimming. He said, "Yeah. It is a lot to deal with. But we have to do it since me and Twilight have keyblades."

Fluttershy felt nervous about the whole journey. Especially when he told her about heartless. She asked, "So you aren't scared...?"

Red's smile quickly fade away as he looks down.

"Sorry... I was just curious," said Fluttershy and felt bad since she saw him get upset.

Red responds, "No No. It's fine. It's just I-"

"Hey Red! Fluttershy! Aren't you guys coming or not? We have to find the keyhole," said Twilight as she went back to the others.

Red and Fluttershy headed to join the others as they found a strange crystal triton symbol on it. They picked it up and headed back to Ariel's grotto to put it on a stone carving of it that has the same shape. 

This was until they heard a voice behind them. Which belongs to King Triton.

"Ariel you've disobeyed me again. I told you not to leave the palace," exclaimed Triton as he was upset with Ariel.

He then notice the crystal trident head and used his trident to shoot a lightning blast at it. This makes Ariel very sad. She said sadly, "How could you..."

When she swims away, Triton glared at the others who were still there and shocked that he would do something like this.

"Young man, Young equines. You're not from another ocean. You're from another world. Aren't you," asked Triton.

This makes Everyone shocked by the accusation that he made. Especially shocking to Red, Sora, and Twilight.

Triton then said, "You three must be the key bearers"

Sora asked, "H-How did you know?"

He continued, "You may fool Ariel, but you can't fool me. You don't know your dorsal fin from your tail. As the key bearer, you must already know... One must not meddle in the affairs of other worlds."

Twilight explains to him, "We do know that your majesty. It's just that..."

Of course she didn't get the chance to finish as Triton cut her off.

"You have violated this principle. The key bearer shatters peace and brings ruin," said triton.

This shocks them as they didn't realize that a keyblade wielder could bring chaos to everyone. Twilight and Sora took it bad, but Red took it harder than them by staying quiet through it all.

Goofy then defended them by saying, "Sora, Twilight, and Red aren't like that."

Triton didn't listen to the king's guard as he starts to leave. Before he left he told them, "I thank you for saving my daughter. But there is no room in my ocean for you or your keys."

Red felt a lot more guilty. Does he really bring ruin to all worlds? He did find his friends, but Alice and Jasmine had been kidnapped.

"I need some alone time," said Red as he slowly swim from the others.

Flounder asked the others, "Is he gonna be okay?"

Twilight answered, "Yeah.... He's fine."

Unfortunately, she wished that it wasn't a lie. The others were very worried. Then Fluttershy decides to go after him.

Pinkie Pie asked, "So what can we do? That big scary king told us to leave didn't he?"

Sora then suggested, "Hey. When Goofy talked about the keyhole, did you think that Triton knows where it is?"

Applejack says, "I reckon he do. It has to be. He even knows about those keyblades."

Rarity included, "But what can we do? It's not like we can just get him to know."

Twilight then said, "What else can we do Rarity? Those keyholes are too important for us to leave alone. Like it or not, he needs to tell us where the keyhole to this world is."

Donald suddenly asked, "What if he refuses?"

Twilight answered, "Then... Then... We look for it ourselves. I don't know Donald."

Goofy asks, "What about Ariel? Shouldn't we go look for her? She seems very hurt from what her dad did."

"After we find the keyhole, we'll talk with her," said the element of magic as she and the others went to go find the keyhole.





Meanwhile in another grotto, Ariel was crying to herself. Until she started hearing other voices.

"My, my, the poor child suffers such deep sorrow," said one voice.

"What a pity. If only there were something we could do," said another voice.

She looked up to see two moray eels.

"Wait. Maybe she can be of some help," said the one called Flotsam.

"Yes. Maybe she can be of some help to you," said the other eel named Jetsam.

Ariel asked while in tears, "Who're you talking about?"

Flotsam answered, "Oh, she would surely help you."

Jetsam included, "She'd make all your dreams come true."

Then they both said, "Ursula can help..."

Then Ursula appeared in front of her. She spoke, "You called, my dear?"

Ariel asked, "You're Ursula? I was just wondering if-"

"It's all right. Helping others is what I live for. Let me guess. You wish to see other worlds. That shouldn't be too hard. After all, your new friends came from another world," said Ursula as she cut her off and revealed her friends' secrets.

"What," asked Ariel as she was shocked. She didn't realize her new friends came from another world. But slightly upset that they would lied to her.

Ursula replied, "But they had special help, those mysterious keys."

Ariel remembers those keyshaped swords that Sora, Twilight, and Red had. It seems she was starting to believe her.

Ursula then continued, "Now, now. Cheer up, sweetie. You have something special, too. Now listen carefully."





Back with Red, he was alone thinking about what King Triton said. Could he really bring destruction to every world that exists? He hasn't done that good so far, except for finding his friends.

While he was thinking these thoughts, Fluttershy was very close to him. She started to spoke softly, "Hello."

Red got out of his thoughts and looks at Fluttershy. He said, "Oh hey Fluttershy. What are you doing here?"

"You seem very upset at what Ariel's father said. Are you okay," asked Fluttershy.

The seastallion sighed and looked down. Then started to explain himself to her.

"It's just... Before we found you we met these two girls named, Alice and Jasmine. They were both kidnapped and we couldn't do anything. Me, Twilight, and Sora have the keyblades and we couldn't save them... What if he is right? What if we do bring nothing but destruction and chaos to every world we meet," asked Red as he felt very guilty about the whole situation.

Fluttershy heard every word that he spoke. She felt bad for him for what he was feeling.

She told him, "Oh but you did the best you could Red."

"Yeah but my best isn't good enough to help people," said the element of courage.

Fluttershy spoke again, "I know but... you shouldn't let this hold you back."

Red listens to her as he was still upset.

"You have made mistakes Red. Everypony has. But it doesn't mean that you have caused harm to us," said the shyful pony while cheering him up.

Red tries to speak, "But I-"

He was cut off when she continued, "No buts Red. What Ariel's father said about you isn't true. Maybe I just joined in on this adventure, but I can tell you have been trying your best. Don't let what he said bother you. Just focus on what is important to you."

Red hears about what she said. Triton may have said some things that are harsh towards him, but he never wanted to bring ruin or chaos to others. So he smiles and gets back up.

He told her, "Thanks Fluttershy. Hm... Guess we better head to the others. My guess is they are probably at Triton's palace."

Fluttershy nodded as they both went to Triton's palace.

Meanwhile, Ursula was laughing as she finally have the trident.

She exclaims, "The trident is mine at last! And I couldn't have done it without your help, my dear."

This is what she told to Ariel. The mermaid was next to her injured father.

"Ursula, no! I didn't want this," said Ariel as she was feeling scared and guilty about what happened.

She replied to Ariel, "Why not? Aren't you tired of following your dear daddy's orders? Oh, yes. We had a deal, didn't we? Time for a little journey, to the dark world of the Heartless!"

Unfortunately for her, her eels swim to her.

Flotsam spoke, "We cannot find the Keyhole."

Jetsam included, "The Keyhole is not here."

Ursula exclaimed, "What?!"

The others have finally arrived and saw Ursula holding the trident.

Ursula spotted them and said, "Why we have company. I'm afraid you're a little too late."

She disappeared and Red and Fluttershy finally arrived last. Red asked, "Uh... did we miss something?"

Ariel spoke, "Sh-she took the trident! It's all my fault..."

Sora then said, "Alright let's go!"

Ariel however went in front of them and spoke, "Wait, I'm going with you! My father is hurt and it's all my fault. I have to stop Ursula!"

Sebastian also said, "That's right! I'm right behind you, Ariel!"

Triton told them, "Wait... Ursula draws her power from her cauldron."

Rarity asks, "Then how can we defeat her?"

Triton answers, "You have to strike her cauldron with magic."

Red then said, "Alright. Let's head out."

They start heading out to find Ursula. As they went out, they head towards the sunken ship. When they look around, nothing seems to be spotted.

Sora asks, "Where do we go now?"

Flounder then told them, "Hey guys! There's this strange boulder by the sunken ship. It has some kind of marking on it."

They went over to it and Ariel saw a button behind the boulder.

Ariel tells her friends, "I see a button in there. But I don't think we can reach in there."

Red tries to reach in, but his hoof can't go in.

"Damn it. I can't get my hoof in here," said the red stallion as he pulled away.

Twilight uses her magic to try and lift the boulder, but it was too heavy.

She told them, "I can't be able to lift it up."

Sebastian went over and said, "Don't worry. I'll show you how it's done."

The crab was able to squeeze in and press the button. The entrance to Ursula's grotto starts to reveal itself from the boulder being moved over.

Fluttershy was very scared of the tunnel they were going through. She spoke, "I never been to this part of the ocean. It looks very creepy."

Applejack says, "You and me both Fluttershy."

They kept on until they made it to Ursula's grotto and met up with her.

Donald yells, "Come out! You can't run!"

Sebastian also yelled, "Your time has come!"

But just then, Ursula started to appear in front of them. This makes Donald and Sebastian both scream in terror.



Ursula threw a potion in the cauldron  and the water inside turns red. Flotsam and Jetsam rushed after Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Ariel.

The others were handling Ursula. They tried attacking her, but she keeps doing faster attacks by spinning and wacking them with her tentacles.

Goofy blocks her attacks and bashed his shell into her.

Donald remind them, "Guys! We gotta use magic!"

Twilight said, "He's right. Me, Red, Sora, and Donald will handle Ursula. Goofy, you and the other ponies will have to fight off those eels."

"Sure thing Twilight," said Goofy as he went to help the other ponies.

Sora, Donald, Red, and Twilight used fire against the cauldron as it started glowing.

Sora exclaims, "Hey it works!"

"Won't be for long you fools," exclaimed the sea witch as she was able to hit them away from the cauldron.

Red said, "Ow... Man she is so annoying..."

Applejack uses her mermaid tail to attack the eels. Then she used her lasso to tie them up, but they start to shock the lasso which shocks her.

"Ahhhh," yelled Applejack painfully as she fall back.

Goofy bashed Flotsam against Rarity as she kicks him with her mermaid tail.

Pinkie Pie rushed to Jetsam but he started to tie her up. When he was about to shock her, Pinkie Pie acted very quick and bite him very hard on the body.

Jetsam yelled, "AHHH!"

Sora acted quick and used fire and was able to defeat the eels. 

Donald, Red, and Twilight uses magic at the cauldron and it exploded. This make Ursula get stunned as Sora rushed and attack her with a strong combo.

She gets awaken and was angry. Then she uses a very strong potion to power up her cauldron again.

Twilight rushed to Ursula and attacks her with her keyblade. 

Ursula told them, "You all can't stop me! Just give up!"

Then her tentacle grabs Twilight and throws her back. Donald uses aero on Sora to increase his defense while he goes to attack the sea witch. 

Donald made sure to use an ether to increase his magic and uses it on the cauldron.

Ursula knows what the duck was doing as she starts to spin attack at Donald, which wacked him and knocked him out.

The others saw and rushed over to fight Ursula. Red sneaks to the cauldron and continue to use magic against it. Ursula realizes what he is doing as she spin attacked his friends off of her. Then she rushes over to attack Red. When she attacked him, he was able to shoot one more magic blast.

It made the cauldron explode and her stunned. Then Sora rushed to her and gave one final hit. She glared at them as she starts to escape.

"You'll pay for this," exclaims Ursula as she escaped.

Sora says, "Oh great she escaped."

Rarity asks, "So are we done now?"

Ariel then reminded them, "We have to get the trident back."

Pinkie Pie asks, "So where can we go?"

Red then answers, "Looks like we have to look around."

They start looking around to find out where Ursula went off to. Unfortunately, they haven't  found anything.

Ariel then said, "What can we do now? We need to get the trident back."

Then they start to feel darkness from a pathway. Red looks around and found the path.

"Let's head to the path that has darkness leading to it," said Red as he starts to move on. The others went and followed him.

As they kept swimming, the oceans seems to be more darker than usual. Then they finally met up with the sea witch.

She spots them and glared as the triton starts to glow.

Ursula spoke angrily, "You pathetic fools! I rule the seas now!"

She starts to grow very big and the area was getting covered in dark mist.



Ursula then exclaimed, "The sea and all its spoils bow to my power!"

Sora, Twilight, Red, Donald, Goofy, and Ariel were able to make it out of the dark mist and was standing in front of the sea witch.

They rushed over to attack her and gave some strikes.

Ursula then starts to spit out bubbles which are filled with dark power. They try evading them, but Sora got hit by two of them. Then Sora tries using fire against her to stop her.

She got hit and send some more bubbles at them. Ariel dodge them to try attacking Ursula.

Twilight swims forward as she was dodging the magical based attacks coming for her. When Ursula sends more bubbles after her, she rushed and block the attacks coming at her.

Red got close and used blizzara against the sea witch. Then deal with a few strikes. This makes Ursula very angry.

"Insolent little fools," exclaims the sea witch as she opens her mouth and launch a laser at them.

This easily hit them critically. Donald uses cure on all of them, but it wasted all of his magic.

Then Ursula start to suck them all in her mouth. The others try and swim away. But Donald got captured in easily and got bitten by her, before she spit him out.

Ariel notices and uses a potion to heal him quickly. Goofy gave Donald an ether and then start to spin around and hit her face with his shell.

Ursula was about to bite Goofy, until Red swooped in and attack her to deflect the attack. It causes her to get stunned.

Now everyone was giving very fast and strong attacks while she was stunned. They were doing very good damage to her.

This makes Ursula even more pissed off as she was preparing for a very strong attack.

Ursula spoke to them, "This won't be pretty!"

With this she raise her hand to start the attack which is basically a very strong lightning attack which shocks them all and hurts them critically.

"Just give up you little pests! It will be very easier for you," exclaims Ursula evilly.

Red groans in pain as he glared at her. Then was more determined to stop her and save Atlantica.

"No...I won't lose," exclaims the stallion as he rushed towards her.

The sea witch smirks evilly and goes to attack him, but the stallion slashed the trident away to gave one more final slash against her.

This was able to defeat her. She started falling to the ground and was finally going into the dark abyss, leaving only the triton behind.

The dark mist disappeared and they swim back to the others.

Pinkie Pie asks, "Did you guys defeat that awful witch?"

Sora answers, "Yeah... She was honestly very tough."

Twilight said, "Let's just get this over to King Triton."

Everyone headed back to the palace where King Triton is resting.

Ariel then said sadly, "Daddy, I'm so sorry."

Red said, "Please don't be angry with her."

Triton then start to say, "It's my fault. You followed Ursula because... I wouldn't let you follow your heart. And when you found that crystal, I lost my temper and destroyed it."

This makes everyone confused on why he would even destroy just a simple artifact that Ariel found.

Goofy said, "Oh yeah! Why did you destroy it?"

Triton then admit, "The crystal held the power to reveal the Keyhole. The Keyhole is dangerous. I had to keep you away from it at any cost."

This makes everyone but the residents of Atlantica very upset at this information with could've been said hours ago.

Key bearers, I have one more request: Seal the Keyhole. My trident also holds the power to reveal the Keyhole. Will you do it," asks Triton as he stares at Red, Twilight, and Sora.

Twilight answers, "Of course."

Red mutters, "That's what we had in mind from the start..."

Ariel asks, "Where is the Keyhole Daddy?"

Triton answered his daughter, "You should know better than anyone. It's in your grotto. But before you all go, I... I seem to have misjudged you all. Ariel is safe and sound, and the trident has been returned, thanks to you. I did not trust you, and for that I apologize."

Red then nodded and smiles more. Then he said, "It's okay King Triton. All is forgiven."

He smiles as he was happy to hear that King Triton apologize to them.

When the others finally arrived at Ariel's grotto, they hold the trident up as it started glowing. Then suddenly, it finally made the keyhole appeared in front of them.

With this, the three keyblade wielders aimed their keyblades and finally lock the keyhole to Atlantica.

Fluttershy was surprised at what she saw. Then asks Red, "Is that what you do with every world you enter?"

"Yeah. Once we lock a keyhole, the world is safe from a lot of dangerous heartless," said Red as he smiled slightly.

She then understands, but wanted to know more.

When they were about to leave, Ariel stops them to ask Sora a question.

"Tell me, Sora. Your world, what's it like," asks Ariel.

Sora turns to her and answered, "Oh, about that... Sorry for lying to you."

He felt guilty for lying about where he came from.

Red told her, "Yeah... We're sorry. We had to follow this whole rule thing."

Goofy then said, "Hope you can forgive us Ariel."

Ariel giggles and wasn't upset at them anymore. Then she said, "It's okay. Besides, if you can travel to other worlds, maybe I can, too. So many places I want to see... I know I'll get there someday. I'll find a way somehow. I'm sure of it."

Sebastian then said, "Well if you find it, do me a favor and leave me out of it."
