After the events of Neverland, everyone returned to the gummi ship. After telling Rainbow Dash what happened The Mane Seven were hugging together as they were reunited. They quickly had Rainbow Dash catch up with everything that happened to them. Then after a couple of minutes, they finally arrived back at Traverse Town.
Pinkie Pie asks Twilight, "How come we're back here?"
Red also said, "She's right. Shouldn't we be heading to Hollow Bastion?"
Twilight answered, "We will be. But we got a navigation gummi. Cid can help us install it."
Goofy said, "We also wanna check out that book at Merlin's."
They nod as Rainbow Dash looks around.
"This town looks very nice. Though I do seen better," said the blue mare.
Red tells her, "You should seen the rest of the world. It looks even more better."
Then they walk over to Cid as they tell them that they have found another gummi piece.
"Looks like you found the other one. I'll get it installed right now. Hold on for a sec," said Cid as he went to install the piece onto the gummi ship.
Fluttershy then notice Sora is unhappy as she asks him, "Sora is everything okay?"
Goofy then tells him, "Sora just remember what Donald said to ya: no frowning, no sad faces."
Pinkie Pie also said, "Goofy's right Sora. No need to be sad. We'll find Kairi and Riku!"
Sora looks at them and asks, "How can you be so cheerful? There's still no sign of your king. Aren't you worried? And what about you guys? You aren't back at your home."
Twilight answered, "Well as long as we have each other we'll be okay. I'm sure of it."
Goofy also said, "And the king told us to go out and find the key bearer, and we found three. So as long as we stick together, it'll all work out okay. Ya just gotta believe in yourself, that's all."
Sora then mutters, "Just believe..."
Then he started to hear a voice.
"I believe in you," said the voice as it sounds like Kairi's voice.
Then a flash of light appeared as he now shows up in a strange library. He was still floating up as he looks around. Then he saw a strange red haired little girl and an old lady. The old lady seemed to be Kairi's grandmother.
The old lady spoke, "Long ago, people lived in peace, bathed in the warmth of light. Everyone loved the light. Then people began to fight over it. They wanted to keep it for themselves. And darkness was born in their hearts. The darkness spread, swallowing the light and many people's hearts. It covered everything, and the world disappeared. But small fragments of light survived...in the hearts of children. With these fragments of light, children rebuilt the lost world. It's the world we live in now. But the true light sleeps, deep within the darkness. That's why the worlds are still scattered, divided from each other. But someday, a door to the innermost darkness will open. And the true light will return. So, listen, child. Even in the deepest darkness, there will always be a light to guide you. Believe in the light, and the darkness will never defeat you. Your heart will shine with its power and push the darkness away. Do you understand, Kairi?"
Sora was confused as he tried to reach for the girl, but he appeared again back at the real world.
"Huh," said the brunette teen as he looks at his friends.
Goofy asked, "What's the matter?"
Rarity said, "Yeah you really blacked out darling. Everything okay?"
"Um nothing guys," said Sora.
Then he thought, 'Kairi... Did you call me?'
Then Cid came to them as he told them, "I installed that navigation gummi. But, ya know? That place is crawling with Heartless."
Fluttershy was scared as she asked, "H-heartless?"
Red then calmed her down and said, "Don't worry. We'll be okay."
Twilight then said, "Now we better check out that book world that Merlin has."
They headed to Merlin's place as they arrived.
"Ah! If it isn't the keybearers. How was your journey lads," asked the wizard.
Applejack answered, "Oh it went fine Merlin. But we have the torn pages ya wanted."
Merlin then said, "Splendid. Though do be careful when putting the pages in the book."
Fluttershy asked, "Will it summon more of those heartless here?"
"No actually. It is free of heartless. No amount of darkness spotted," said the wizard.
Red, Twilight, and Sora starts to put the pages in as they start to feel like they were getting sucked in.
Red then asked, "Wh-what's happening?!"
Sora then yelled, "I don't know! AHHHHHH!"
The three of them get sucked in as everyone watched.
Goofy then yelled, "Oh no!"
Pinkie Pie also yelled, "Oh no! They are trapped in an evil book!"
Applejack told Pinkie Pie, "I'm sure they are okay. And I'm even more sure it isn't evil."
Merlin nods and says, "She's right lads."
Donald then asked, "What can we do?"
Rainbow Dash then said, "Let me handle it."
Rainbow Dash then was about to kick the book until Merlin stopped her.
"No don't! If we damage the book, it will probably effect them as well," said Merlin.
Rainbow Dash then asked, "Then what can we do?"
Merlin answered, "I'm not sure. I'll have to think of a way to get them out. But, all we can do for now is wait."
They nod at him as they watch over the book and wonder how the keyblade wielders were doing.
Inside the book, Sora, Twilight, and Red woke up in a strange field Then they start looking around.
Sora asked, "Where are we?"
Twilight answered, "I'm not sure. But I think we are in the book."
They then started moving on until they see something near them. It was a yellow bear, wearing a red shirt that was thinking to himself.
"Think, think. Think, think," said the yellow bear.
They walk up to him and Red said, "Hey there friend. What's wrong?"
The yellow bear answered, "Nothing. Just thinking."
Red asked, "What are you thinking about?"
The bear answered, "I was thinking of how to say goodbye to Pooh."
The three keyblade wielders questioned, "Pooh?"
The yellow bear said, "Yes?"
Sora asked, "So you're Pooh?"
Then they sat next to him.
"Yes, I'm Winnie the Pooh. Pooh for short. Who are you," asked Pooh.
Twilight answered, "I'm Twilight Sparkle. And this is Sora and Red Soardash.
Pooh then said, "Oh. Hello Sora, Red, and Twilight. Have you come to say goodbye to Pooh, too?"
Sora then answered, "No? Why would we do that? We've only just met."
Pooh then answered, "Because everyone's gone away."
This makes the three keyblade wielders very shocked.
Red asked, "What do you mean Pooh?"
Pooh then explained, "We all lived here in the Hundred Acre Wood. And we'd take walks together, or play Pooh sticks... And every day, I'd eat some honey. Just one small smackeral would taste very good right now. But now everyone's gone. All my friends, and my favorite Hunny Tree too. Everyone must've gone away while I was napping, I think... So, who knows? Maybe I shall end up going away somewhere as well. But I wonder, how do I say goodbye to myself? Think, think, think."
They watch him as they start feeling bad for him.
Pooh then said, "Oh my tumbly is getting rather rumbly."
100 Acre Wood
He starts walking away as the others follow him.
Sora said, "Since we're stuck here for now we should help him."
Twilight nodded and said, "Yeah. It must be very difficult not having your friends with you..."
Red then started to say, "Which is why we should go through these pages and help him out."
Then they follow Pooh through the meadow. After a while, they made it to Pooh's house.
When they went inside, they see Pooh searching through a honey pot.
"Oh bother. There's no more honey left. If only the Hunny Tree would visit... Then I could eat my fill," said Pooh.
When they exit the house, they were introduce to an owl named, Owl.
He asked, "Have we met before? Welcome to the Hundred Acre Wood!"
Sora nods and said, "It's very nice to meet you. But maybe you can help us find the rest of Pooh's friends."
Owl nodded as he explains, "The next place you should look is the big hunny tree. I'm sure any of them could be there."
Then they exit from the area and head into the tree area. They look up to see how tall the honey tree is.
Red exclaims, "Holy Celestia is that tree big!"
Then they look down to see a small pig on the ground as he seems nervous and scared.
"Hello? I-Is anyone there," asked the small pig nervously.
Then he continued, "Wh-Wh-What am I to do? I'm all alone. Pooh? Pooh? Where are you? It's me, Piglet."
The three keyblade wielders walk to the small pig, named Piglet, as he turns and notice us. He was freaked out by them.
"Oh dear! I was j-just... N-Never mind. I'm sorry," said Piglet.
Red thought, 'Wow. He seems even more nervous and scared than Fluttershy. Hell she wasn't like this before.'
Sora crouches down and smiles as he said, "Don't be scared. You're looking for Pooh, right?"
Piglet hears him and asked, "You know Pooh?'
They nod at him.
"Oh, y-you see, I-I have something for him. I have to take it to Pooh right away," exclaimed the pig as he seems calm. Well slightly calm.
Then they see Pooh as Piglet rushes over to him.
"Oh I believe I smell a delicious something Something like honey," said the yellow bear as he turns to see Piglet running towards him.
He said, "Hello Piglet. How have you been?"
"Oh, I-I'm so glad to see you. I thought you'd gone away. I brought wh-what you asked for," said Piglet as he gave Pooh a balloon.
He grabs the balloon and told him, "Thank you Piglet. Now I can finally have some honey."
The others were shocked and confused at the idea of using a balloon to get the honey.
Twilight asked him, "But how are you gonna get the honey with just that balloon?"
Pooh answered, "I shall hold on to the balloon and fly like a bee up the Hunny Tree see."
Twilight was concerned and said, "B-But that's that's impossible!"
Piglet asks, "Won't the bees be angry?"
Pooh starts thinking as the others decide to help him out. After a while, they finally give him enough honey to be filled.
"It is rather funny what I will do for honey," said the yellow bear as he was in one of the holes of the tree eating honey.
Red panted and said, "Good thing we helped him. Who knows what could happen if those bees would get too close."
Owl approach them as he said, "Thank you for helping Pooh out with finding more honey."
Sora nod and said, "It was nothing Owl. Anywhere we can go from here?"
"Well the next page seems to be Rabbit's House. Maybe you can find Rabbit," said Owl as the others went to the next page.
They arrived and notice a vegetable patch.
Red said, "Woah. Guess this Rabbit guy loves planting food."
Twilight nodded and said, "Yeah. Applejack would like this guy."
Then they approach Rabbit's house as they notice Pooh and Piglet are there too.
Red asked, "What's going on guys?"
Piglet turns and tells them, "Rabbit house c-came back! But it looks like Rabbit isn't home. Pooh's been calling and calling, but the house says no one's there."
Sora was confused as he said, "Uh...Right."
They were confused until they Pooh asks the house, "Nobody's home?"
"That's right Nobody," exclaims the house.
The human and two ponies decide to went inside the house using the door.
Pooh tries to get in the burrow and asks, "Who is this person named Nobody? Nobody, have you seen Rabbit?"
The voice desperately says, "No! No Rabbit here! There's no one here!"
It was too late as Pooh was able to get in with Piglet. They look to see Rabbit in the house.
"Hello Rabbit," said Pooh as he greets Rabbit.
Rabbit looks down as he sighed and said, "P-Pooh. What a pleasant surprise... Nice to see you, too, Piglet. And..."
He turns to see Red, Sora, and Twilight there.
"Are these new friends," asked Rabbit.
Twilight nods and says, "Hi Rabbit. It's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too," said Rabbit as he greets them while he turns to Pooh.
He tells him, "P-Pooh I'm sorry but... I'm all out of honey at the moment."
Red looks around as he notice the honey being hidden in a strange spot. Then he pointed he hoof at it and said, "Oh there's some right there."
"H-Honey? Now, how did that get up there? Would you like some Pooh? Don't feel you have to of course," said Rabbit as he was disappointed that the honey was found.
Pooh then starts to eat the honey as he was eating the whole pot.
Rabbit looks down and said, "Ohh... Out of honey again."
Red felt guilty as he said, "Sorry Rabbit. I didn't know it was the last of it."
Sora also said, "Well at least we found Rabbit. I'm guessing we're done."
After leaving out of Rabbit's door, Piglet calls for them. They went back notice that Pooh was stuck in the burrow.
Sora asks, "What happened now?"
Pooh answers, "I came in through this hole so it must have shrunk."
Red then said, "Maybe we can try and pull him out."
They went out to Pooh and try to get him out, but he was stuck there.
Twilight said, "There's no way of getting him out. Unless someone has any ideas they would like to share."
Rabbit then suggested, "Wait I know! A bit of carrot top juice will do the trick! I have a carrot patch on the other side of the stream. Carrot top juice is just the ticket to slimming down a Pooh!"
Sora then said, "Alright then let's get some carrots."
Rabbit nods and turns to his patch but notice something coming.
The others stare as the strange tiger was bouncing through the patch and accidentally bumped into Sora.
"Hey there! Name's Tigger! T-I-double-guh-RR. That spells Tigger! Well, now! I don't think I've ever seen you before," exclaims Tigger.
Pooh then tells him, "Hello Tigger. You've just bounced my new friend Sora."
"Pooh! Say, you're lookin' mighty uncomfy today. Is that some new exercise? Why bouncin' around is a lot more fun," said Tigger as he bounced off of Sora.
Red then asked, "So why do you bounce so much Tigger?"
Tigger answered, "Why? 'Cause bouncin' is what Tiggers do best! Speaking of which, my bouncin' spot has gone and disappeared! So for now this'll be my new bouncin' ground."
He then went to bounce at the vegetables.
Rabbit was concerned as he said, "Tigger's bouncing will ruin my vegetables! And if we don't give Pooh some carrot top juice, he'll be stuck forever. Please help me! Keep Tigger away from my carrots!"
Sora nods as he went to help by making sure to bounce Tigger away from any carrot he was gonna bounce on. After a while he made sure the carrots were safe from Tigger.
Tigger laughed and said, "Say you kept up pretty good there Sora, especially for a non-Tigger! Let's have another go."
Rabbit goes to the keybearers and said, "Thank you so much. Now I'd better make that carrot top juice. I'll get the carrots, so please wait inside the house."
They then went outside as they waited for the carrot top juice to be made. After waiting a while, Rabbit was finally finished.
"Oh what a day! I gave Pooh the carrot top juice. All we have to do now is push him out. Just a little push should do," said Rabbit as he walked in the house.
Red then said, "I'll handle it Rabbit."
He turns as he gave a kick and Pooh was launched out. He was able to land in Rabbit's pots and vegetables.
"First my vegetable patch and now this," said Rabbit as he looks down and groan.
Red felt guilty again and said, "Sorry again Rabbit."
They exit out of Rabbit's house and went to meet with Owl again.
"Thank you for helping Rabbit out. But we seem to be missing more of our friends. Maybe you should head to the Hill area," said Owl as they went to the next page.
They arrive as Pooh and Piglet are on a wooden bridge above water.
Piglet said, "Look Pooh. Something is floating this way."
Pooh looks and saw a strange donkey that was floating in the water.
"Why it looks like Eeyore! Hello Eeyore if it is you," said Pooh as they look at their depressed friend.
Eeyore looks up and said, "Hello Pooh. Yes, it's me. Could you pull me out? That is, if it's not too much trouble. Of course you don't have to if you don't want to."
Twilight said, "Guys we should help him fast."
Sora nods as he rushed and swim in the water to get Eeyore. He was able to help him out.
"Thank you Pooh. Thank you other you," said the donkey as he looks at them.
Sora told him, "You're welcome Eeyore."
"You know, floating along out there, it seemed like something was missing... And something's still missing," said Eeyore as he looks and notice that his tail is gone... again.
Piglet exclaimed, "Eeyore's tail is gone! Is that what's missing?"
Red said, "That's what it seems. We better find his tail fast."
"Looking for something," asked Owl as he lands in front of them.
Sora tells him, "Yeah. Eeyore's tail is gone."
Red asked him, "Can you fly up and help us find Eeyore's tail?"
Owl shook his head no and answered, "Sorry but my eyes aren't what they used to be. Too much reading, you know. But I can offer good advice! Of course, you don't have to if you don't want to. See that swing up there? Take Pooh there. You're a bit too big for the swing, but Pooh should fit nicely. I'll tell you more when you get there."
They arrived at the swing and Pooh sat on the swing.
Twilight asks him, "So how does this help us find Eeyore's tail?"
Owl answered, "You can always try pushing hard enough to see if he can find his tail."
After a few tries, they were able to make Pooh launched onto a small stick house.
They notice and rushed over to check on Pooh.
Twilight asked, "Are you okay Pooh?"
Pooh gets up and nods as they notice a strange tail on the ground. After a few minutes they were able to put it back onto Eeyore.
Sora said, "And there we go."
Eeyore tells everyone, "It's not much of a tail but it's mine. Thanks, everyone."
Owl flies over to the keybearers and landed in front of them.
"If you like, I believe there is one more of our friends to find. It seems he is in another part of the woods," said Owl as the others went to the next page.
They arrived as they see the area has a lot of tree stumps and a giant pot.
Tigger looks at them and said, "This here is my bouncin spot! We can bounce around here all day!"
Then they notice a small boy kangeroo who bounce to them.
"Nothing beats bouncing," exclaims the kangeroo who's name is Roo.
Tigger then asks them, "You wanna bounce too? It's lotsa of fun!"
They agreed and went to bounce with both Tigger and Roo.
After a while, they were finished as they were exhausted.
Sora said, "Wow.... I never bounce like that before."
Red nods as he and them rested. After resting for a bit, Owl flew towards them.
"I see you all are exhausted from bouncing like Tiger," said Owl.
Twilight nods and looks at him. Then she said, "yeah. It was actually fun though. Is there another area we should head to?"
Owl nodded and said, "I believe there is one more page."
They nodded and went to the next page as they could see Pooh walking around.
Sora asks, "What are you doing Pooh?"
Pooh quickly said, "Shh or they'll get away."
Sora asks, "Who?"
"The people who took everyone away. See their footprints? We were all sticking together to make sure no one got lost again. But then, I saw some footprints that needed following. So I did. Suddenly, everyone was gone. Bad people must have taken them away," said Pooh.
They keybearers were confused until they see the footprints belong to Pooh.
Twilight says, "Uh Pooh? I think those footprints are-"
She was cut off by Sora who said, "We'll help you look for your friends."
After searching for their friends everywhere, they finally did it. Now everyone in the 100 Acre Wood is safe. Everyone then headed to the hill area as it was nighttime already in the world.
Piglet then said, "I'm so glad we're all together again. I didn't know what to do when I was all alone."
Tigger then told him, "Aw Piglet you gotta be brave."
Piglet asks, "You weren't lonely at all?"
Tigger answered, "Lonely? Are you kiddin'? I'm a Tigger! The most wonderful thing about Tiggers is I'm the only one. But I do admit, friends are awfully fun, too!"
Pooh was thinking again as he was focused.
Sora notice and asked, "What are you thinking about now Pooh?"
He answered, "I'm just thinking about what to think about."
Sora nods as him, Red, and Twilight got up and start walking off.
Piglet asked, "Where are you going?"
Red answered, "We're gonna go look for our friends. They're waiting for us."
Tigger then exclaimed, "Bounce on back again!"
Piglet also said, "I hope you find your friends!"
They nod at them as Sora raised his fist up and Pooh did the same before he and the ponies start to disappear.
"Sora, Twilight, Red, don't forget... We shall always be here. If you'd like to visit again that is," said Pooh as they left out of 100 Acre Wood.
Back with the others, Merlin was trying everything that he can. Until they all notice the book opened on it's own. Then Twilight, Red, and Sora appeared in front of them.
Donald exclaimed, "You're back!"
Red nodded as he smiles at them, but was surprised to see Fluttershy hugged him.
"I'm... happy you're okay," said Fluttershy as Red blushed and hugged her back.
Applejack asked, "So what happened?"
They then told them about the book.
Merlin said, "It's just like I told you lads. It's a world inside of the book."
As they were about to continue Rainbow Dash notice a great flash of light as a keyhole appeared at a book.
"Uh guys? I think I see that keyhole thing you mention," said the blue mare as they look at it.
Sora, Twilight, and Red's keyblades appeared as they aim them at the keyhole. A light beam appeared from them as it close the keyhole.
Once it's closed, they look to see the cover of the book has been changed. It showed Sora, Red, and Twilight on it with the people of the 100 Acre Wood.
Pinkie Pie said, "That's so cute!"
They look and saw the cover.
Twilight smiled and said, "I hope we get to meet Pooh again..."
Red said, "I'm sure we will."
Then they exit from Merlin as they head back to the first district.
Rarity asked, "So what now?"
Sora then said, "We should go find Hollow Bastion."
Donald announced, "All right! Let's go to the new world!"
Goofy stops him as he said, "Hold on Donald. We don't know what's out there. Why don't we revisit other worlds first? I'm sure we'll find some new items."
Twilight nodded and said, "He's right. We should go back and visit the other worlds."
They agreed as they went to other worlds in order to be prepared for Hollow Bastion.
