After their big fight with the guy in the black hood with red hair, whose is name Axel, they headed up into the Castle to find out where their friends are located. As they were heading up, something was bothering Jiminy.
Jiminy muttered to himself, "Hmm..."
They were concerned after hearing Jiminy.
Sora asked him, "What's wrong, Jiminy?"
Jiminy starts to explain to them, "Well, ya see, what Axel said back there worries me. What could he have meant by, 'You may no longer be who you are?'"
This was concerning to them as this might was something that freaks them out.
Sora asked him, "I may no longer be me? How can I be anyone else?"
Pinkie Pie suggests, "Maybe it's a very very hard riddle."
Red then says, "Seems like more than a riddle. Maybe we should be careful."
Goofy nods and says, "Yep. Feels like just about anything could happen here in Castle... Oblivi... Oblivi... Obliv-"
Donald quickly cuts him off by correcting him, "Castle Oblivion!"
Goofy chuckled before saying, "Oh, yeah! Now I remember!
Sora nods tells them, "We'll be okay. Whatever it is they're cooking up, we'll be able to handle it together."
Goofy also says, "Course we will. Like at that creepy castle we explored together, the one with all those weird contraptions."
This has them very confused as they look at Goofy.
Applejack asked, "Uh... When did that happened?"
Twilight asked, "But wasn't it back when..... When..... Weird. I can't remember."
Rainbow Dash asked, "Well what is it called anyway?"
Goofy keeps trying to remember it by saying, "Gawrsh, oh it was, uh... Holla... Holly... Holler... Sorry. I can't remember."
Donald quickly spoke, "Wak! Stop goofing around."
Sora asked him, "Goofy, you sure you didn't make it up?"
Goofy shook his head as he was sure that he didn't made it up.
As they figured maybe it was nothing, they headed towards the door to the next room. Sora hold up a world card to the door and the door opened. They all went through it.
They were suddenly in a very strange and weird looking world.
Wonderland
They look around at the world around them. It was very strange and weird.
Rainbow Dash says, "This place is... very something alright."
Pinkie Pie replied, "Come on Rainbow Dash! Seems like such a cool world to be in."
Rarity hears someone as she tells her friends, "Hold on everyone. I believe someone is coming."
They notice a white rabbit came by as he seemed in a rush.
The White Rabbit exclaims, "I'm late! I'm late! I'm dreadfully, awfully late! The queen will roast me for dinner! If I'm late for the trial, it'll be off with MY head next!"
That last remark had them very shocked.
Sora asked, "What do you mean, "off with your head"?!"
The White Rabbit quickly says, "Oh my fur and whiskers! I'll never make it!"
Sora, still shocked by what he said, spoke, "Off with his HEAD?!"
Fluttershy says to her friends, "Oh my... For such a place that seems peaceful, it sounds very violent."
Twilight says, "Let's follow him to make sure everything is okay."
With that, they went into the world of Wonderland to follow the White Rabbit. As they walked, they see a courtroom. This meant a trial was happening.
Goofy asks, "Gawrsh, looks like some kind of get-together. What's the occasion?"
Donald says, "Hey, this must be that trial the White Rabbit was talking about!"
Fluttershy says, "Maybe we entered at a wrong time."
Twilight spoke, "I'm not sure. Let's listened in."
They see the a strange woman up on a judge's bench with a blonde girl in a blue dress at the podium. Seems like she is on trial.
The White Rabbit says to the blonde girl, "Alice! Do you understand the charges against you?"
The blonde haired girl, named Alice, starts to exclaim, "Of course not! I've done nothing wrong!"
The Queen of Hearts responded with, "Feigning ignorance, dear? You are charged with aiding the creatures called Heartless who threaten my kingdom!"
This accusation shocked Sora, Donald, Goofy, and the Mane Seven.
Alice was upset by this accusation and countered back, "Fiddlesticks! Where's the evidence?"
"The evidence is...I forgot! That's the evidence! Because you, Alice, are the one who stole my memory," said the Queen of Hearts.
They heard this and was upset by this.
Rainbow Dash whispers quietly, "Jeez. Maybe she also lost her mind."
Pinkie Pie nods while saying, "Yeah. Never knew anyone can be crazy like her."
The cyan looked at her before saying, "....Right."
The White Rabbit told her, "We can't rid the kingdom of Heartless until we get Her Majesty's memory back. This is a serious crime!"
Alice countered back with, "This is so unfair! So what if you're a queen! Don't blame me just because you can't remember things!"
This has caused the Queen to get upset.
She angrily exclaimed, "Such insolence! You're talking to the Queen of Hearts! And to think I might have let you go, had you apologized straightaway! What a brazen thief!"
Rarity said, "Seems like she should look in the mirror if she thinks that poor girl is brazen."
Queen of Hearts then suddenly spoke out, "The court has reached a verdict! OFF WITH HER HEAD!"
This made everything shocked by the verdict. Then Sora ran up to speak for Alice.
Sora says, "Hold it! This trial is a farce! You should investigate before you arrest innocent people!"
Red rushed to stand with Sora. He said, "He's right. This trial is very unfair."
Queen of Hearts sees them and asks, "What is the meaning of this? How dare you suggest Alice didn't steal my memory!"
Twilight then starts to say, "They're both right. This is not how you run a court system."
The Queen of Hearts looked at her and asked the three of them, "I suppose you know who the real culprit is, then!"
This causes them to be very stumbled.
Queen of Hearts exclaims, "Speak! Or it's off with all of your heads! Now, out with it! Who's the thief?"
Red asks while whispering to his two friends, "What are we supposed to do?"
Twilight responded, "I'm not sure. We just have to make up a random person so that we-"
"I'm the thief!"
They turn to see Sora telling the Queen the Hearts that he's the thief that they want.
They were very shocked by this.
Twilight whispered to him, "S-Sora!"
Queen of Hearts asks, "Say that again?"
Rarity asked, "Sora darling! What are you doing?"
Sora replied, "It's the only way to help get her free. What else am I supposed to say?"
Twilight tells him while being upset, "I don't know maybe something without getting us into trouble!"
Donald agrees and says, "This is really screwy Sora!"
Queen of Hearts then exclaims, "Cards! Seize them all!"
After the fight they were tired. Then notice that Alice is gone.
Applejack asked, "Where did Alice go?"
Goofy answered, "Looks like she escaped."
Suddenly they turn to see the Queen of Hearts. She yelled, "Perhaps she did. But YOU won't!"
Red tells his friends, "Run!"
They rushed out of the courtroom to escape from the Queen of Hearts and her card guards.
It took them some time, but they finally escaped. They even also found
After running for a long time, they finally made it to Alice.
Sora said, "Things got a little crazy back there, but at least you're okay."
They nod at Alice, but she was concerned of course.
She tells them, "I don't mean to be ungrateful, but...was that true, what you said? Are you the thief?"
Sora shook his head before saying, "What? Of course not! Why would I steal the queen's memory?"
Goofy nods and says, "Yep, Sora only said that 'cause he wanted to save-"
Donald quickly cut Goofy off to say, "To show off!"
They made Applejack smack Donald behind the head with her hoof.
He yelled, "Ow! Hey!"
Alice asks, "Is that right? Well, you saved me all the same. Thank you."
Suddenly, a strange cat appeared in front of them.
Alice yelled out, "It's the Cheshire Cat!"
The Cheshire Cat smiles at them and says, "Feeling better after that mad dash, are we? Oh, but you're not out of the woods yet!"
Fluttershy asks, "What do you mean Mr. Cheshire Cat?"
He replied, "The queen's a stickler for justice! She won't forget you till she remembers! She won't stop hounding you till you get her memory back! Did she forget because she remembers? Does she remember that she forgot? Doesn't matter, I suppose."
He disappeared from them.
Rarity says to her friends, "What a strange cat."
Applejack asks, "I'd say let's make sure to stay away from her."
Jimmy came out of Sora's hood to asked, "But Applejack, what about Alice? If the queen catches her again, it's off with... well, you know."
Red then says, "Then I guess we'd better do something about the queen."
The Cheshire Cat appeared again to talk to them.
He spoke out, "You should do something. But you don't have to do anything."
Red asks, "What are you talking about?"
The cat explains, "If you can't remember something, it's like it never happened. Likewise, if something never happened, you can't remember it. Try too hard to remember, and your memory might lie to you."
He disappeared away from them.
Pinkie Pie says, "What a nice cat. Though very confusing."
They looked around the place as they stumbled in a very strange pink area.
Goofy says, "Gawrsh, what's with the sudden change of scenery?"
Then Alice said, "Let's look around!"
They look around until, Alice started to shout. They rush to her to see the Queen of Hearts in front of her, with the card guards.
She said, "Thought you'd seen the last of me, did you?"
Sora muttered, "Uh oh!"
Queen of Hearts demanded them, "Game's up, scoundrels! For stealing my memory, I sentence you to... I sentence you to..."
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared. The queen seemed to get effected by it.
She groaned in pain while saying, "I...sentence... ... Oh? What's going on? Where am I?"
Everyone was confused with what's going on with the queen.
She then asks, "What in the world am I doing? Confound it, I can't remember!"
Sora asks his friends, "What's wrong with her?"
Twilight answered, "Maybe somebody swiped her memory again."
Suddenly, Alice notice something very big coming down.
She yelled out to her friends, "Guys watch out! Something's coming!
They saw the Trickmaster jumped down and they dodge before it lands on them.
Sora tells them, "So this is what stole the queen's memory!"
Red then says, "Let's stop it before it cause anymore problems!"
After the fight, the Queen and her guards walked up to them.
Queen of Hearts yelled, "You there! All of you! What is the meaning of this? Where did that creature come from?"
Sora asks, "How would WE know?"
Queen of Hearts angrily said, "So, you refuse to answer? You're hiding something! They're plotting against me! Seize them immediately!"
Rainbow Dash whispers, "Wow this lady is so annoying."
Suddenly, Alice tells the Queen, "Please, Your Majesty, wait! It was you who commanded us to destroy those creatures."
They looked at her confused.
The blonde haired girl continues, "Your Majesty, in her prudence, didn't completely trust us at first. And so, at Your Majesty's command, we fought them to prove ourselves. Isn't that right guys?"
She looks at Sora, Donald, Goofy, and the Mane Seven.
They looked at her confused still, until they finally get what she is trying to do.
The lavender colored pony says, "O-Ooooh. Yeah that is what happened."
Queen of Hearts asks while confused, "I...told you...to do that?"
Rarity quickly says, "Y-Yeah Your Majesty! Don't you remember?"
Queen of Hearts then says, "Don't be ridiculous! I never forget anything! Of course I gave the command. You did splendidly."
She and the guards leave them as they were relieved that things are good again.
Alice says, "Well, that was close."
Sora happily tells her, "Way to improvise! I never would've thought of that."
Alice tells him, "Just like the Cheshire Cat said as much.'Try too hard to remember, and your memory might lie to you.' The queen would never admit she forgot. So instead, she remembered something... ...that didn't happen! She ended up fooling herself."
Sora was confused about this as he feels something strange about what she said.
She asks, What is it Sora?"
Sora then answers, "Hm? Nothing. Well, I guess you'll be safe now."
Goofy nods and says, "And the queen won't give us any more trouble! After all, we got rid of the Heartless, just like she commanded!"
Pinkie Pie also said, "Yep! It was very nice of us to do that even though she was crazy."
Donald looks at them and gets upset as he said, "Don't tell me you two have been fooled, too!"
They said goodbye to Alice and headed out of Wonderland. They arrived back in Castle Oblivion. Goofy seems to be pondering about something.
Goofy muttered, "Hmm..."
They heard him and turn to the Captain of the knights.
Donald asks, "Huh? What's the matter?"
Goofy answers, "It's that creepy castle that I was talking about earlier... I know I didn't imagine it."
Twilight says, "But we don't remember ever being in a castle before this one."
Rainbow Dash suggests, "Maybe you're confused."
He turns to Rainbow Dash and shook his head no.
"That's the thing. I didn't imagine it at all. Cause that was the castle where Sora had to use the Keyblade to free Kairi's heart," said Goofy as they were able to remember Sora turning into a heartless back then.
Rarity says, "That's right! We watched when that happened. We had to fight Riku who was being controlled by Ansem."
Goofy continues, "Uh huh! And then he just disappeared! And I was so worried. How could I ever forget that?"
Sora then smiled as he able to remember that moment.
"Oh! It was when I turned into a Heartless," said Sora.
They remembered that it happened, but something weird happened just now.
Fluttershy asks, "....It happened at a castle....?"
Red says, "Yeah it.... I mean it didn't... I mean... That's weird. I can't remember it..."
Donald says, "Aww... You forgot that? Cause I remember perfectly."
They look at the King's court wizard doubting that he remembers it perfectly.
Sora asks, "Then what's it called?"
Donald answers, "That's easy! It was..."
They look at them as they expected an answer.
Applejack asks, "You don't remember where it happened... Did ya?"
Donald quickly says, "Sh-shut it! Jiminy, help me... Is it in your journal?"
Jiminy comes out of Sora's hood and smiles as he brought out his journal.
"Every word! I finished the first volume right before we got to this castle," said the cricket as he starts to flip through pages.
Jiminy says, "Now then, if I can just find it... Oh, here we go!"
Twilight says while being less worried, "Hopefully it will help us remember."
Jiminy then was shocked. He yelled, "Oh! How could it be?!"
Rainbow Dash sighs before saying, "Don't tell me you forgot to write it down."
"N-No! I-It's worse! All my entries! They're gone! Every page is blank," said Jiminy as it made everyone shocked.
Red then was saying, "N-No way it's empty."
Applejack then said, "Can we check it just to make sure?"
Twilight use magic to levitate the book closer to them. She flip through the pages and it was just like what Jiminy said. Everything is blank.
"H-He's right," said the element of magic.
Fluttershy asks, But how can that be....?"
Sora said to himself, "The journal's blank... What's going on?"
Meanwhile, a girl with blonde hair in a white dress was drawing something in her notebook.
Then back with the gang, they were upstairs trying to figure out the problem with the journal notes vanishing.
Donald said, "Something's screwy. Journal pages don't just vanish!"
Twilight suggests, "Could be some sort of magic...."
Sora looks down as he says, "What if...it's more things?"
Donald asks, "Huh?"
Sora starts explaining, "Goofy was telling us about another castle we'd been to... But none of us really remembers it. Do ya think... Could it be that we don't remember because we're losing our memories?"
This makes everyone shocked and scared.
Jiminy then says, "Hold on! Remember what that mystery fella said? 'In this place to find is to lose, and to lose is to find.' It musta been our memories he was talking about losing!"
The red stallion then says to his friends, "So if we keep going, we'll lose more..."
Pinkie Pie says, "Guess it really is Castle Oblivion..."
She was trying to light the mood, but it didn't help much at all.
Donald says, "So the higher we go, the more we'll forget? Does that mean everything and everybody will be forgotten?"
Sora mutters sadly, "Riku and Kairi too..."
He was more concerned than everyone else. Red was very worried when when they were separated into different worlds. Now he wonders if this would cause him to forget everyone else. Everyone back in Equestria, his friends that he just met, his best friends that he searched for....
Rainbow Dash asks, "Should we go back then?"
They weren't sure about this. They didn't want to lose their memories, but they want to look for King Mickey and Riku to see if they are okay.
Goofy suddenly says, "Don't worry, fellahs! We might forget about where we've been or what things we've seen, but we won't forget who our friends are."
They made them unsure, until Goofy continues.
"C'mon, Sora, when you turned into a Heartless, did you forget about us," asked Goofy.
Sora shook his head and answered, "Of course I didn't!"
Goofy smiles and says, "There ya go! No matter what happens, you won't forget your friends."
The brunette teen thinks about this. Maybe Goofy is right. Maybe they won't forget their friends. He smiles and looks at them.
Sora said, "You're right. Thank you, Goofy."
Donald then says, "So, if there's nothing here that can make you forget about your friends...then we have nothing to be scared of! Let's go!"
As he was about to head off, suddenly Sora starts to remember something.
"But when I turned into a Heartless...who was the one who took forever to notice and kept clobbering me," asked Sora as he smirked.
Donald then remembered that as it made him upset.
He asks, "How come you didn't forget about that?"
This makes everyone start laughing.
Olympus Coliseum
They walked into the world as it seems very Greek related. They look around and then Donald noticed a sign.
He exclaims, "Look an announcement!"
They rushed to the sign and start to read it.
Jiminy explains, "Hmmm... It's for some sort of contest. They're calling it the 'Olympus Coliseum Survival Cup.' Contenders have to run an obstacle course, battling each other along the way. And listen to this: 'The great hero Hercules will also compete for the Cup.' It says here he's never been beaten.
Rainbow Dash says, "So cool! Can't wait to enter and win this cup!"
Red asked her, "Wait you actually want to enter the competition?"
"Yeah I mean why wouldn't we? I'm sure this won't be hard for us," said the element of loyalty.
Applejack said, "Definitely. Ah mean we have faced Ansem. I'm sure we can handle this competition.
Sora starts to say, "Yeah. This sounds like fun."
Donald sighs before saying, "You're going to compete even if we don't right?"
Twilight tells him, "I mean we don't have a choice Donald. It's best to do this so we can head further into the castle."
Jiminy then explains, "Hold it, everyone. There's more... 'Only contenders who finish the preliminary course may enter the main competition.' It says the preliminary course is just ahead."
Sora then says, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
They headed into the preliminaries to pass it. Until, Hades, the god of death, walked to the sign that they read.
He reads, "'Hercules is a model of true strength and gallantry-the perfect hero?!'"
"Oh, he's perfect, all right. PERFECTLY INFURIATING!! Just thinking about that little sunspot makes me boil! HOO, I'd like to drag him into the Underworld," said Hades angrily as he turned to red.
Then he turned back to normal and calmed down.
Suddenly, a voice starts to say, "Which is why you hired me."
Hades turned and sees that it came from a blond swordsman.
He said, "That's right. You're my man... Cloud, is it? Your job is to beat Hercules in the games. And once you've got him cornered... ...finish the job. Do that for me, and-"
Cloud cuts him off by saying, "You restore my lost memories. As we agreed."
Hades nods and says, "You have my word."
The Mane Seven and the Trinity Trio went through the preliminaries as it was a struggle.
Applejack and Rainbow Dash were in a friendly competition to see who is the best.
Everyone was watching while going through the course. Eventually, they both were in a tie, but they accepted it.
Finally, they made it to the lobby where, Philoctetes, or Phil, is in waiting for the contestants. He sees them finally came as he was shocked.
"Huh? Where did you come from? Don't tell me you guys finished the prelims," said Phil.
Sora nods and says, "We sure did."
Red nods and says, "And now we want to go for the Cup!"
Phil then tells them, "Well, you came to the right place. Not that you stand a chance against Herc."
Fluttershy asks, "Why not?"
Phil says, "Two words. You. Ain't. Heroes!"
Sora exclaims, "You're wrong!"
Twilight nods before saying, "Yeah he said three words."
Rarity tells her, "I mean you're right but that's not what he meant Twilight."
Red then asks, "How can we prove we're heroes unless you give us a chance?"
Suddenly a voice was heard as he said, "He's right, Phil."
It was Hercules.
He continued, "They cleared the prelims. I think they deserve a shot."
Phil starts saying, "Hmm...you got a point there, Herc. But still-"
Hercules cuts him off by saying, "Of course, we could always cancel the games."
Everyone was shocked by this.
Rainbow Dash asked, "Cancel them? Why? It was so fun and awesome!"
Hercules explains, "Yeah it is pretty fun, but old Phil's prelim course was so hard, no one else could finish it."
Pinkie Pie says, "Really? It didn't feel all that hard to us."
Sora then says, "Well, if you let us compete, you won't have to cancel the games! How about it, Phil?"
Phil starts thinking before saying, "Okay, you got me over a barrel, so fine. Here's how it works. Since your team and Hercules are the only contenders-"
He was cut off as someone walked over to them. It is Cloud.
He said, "No, they're not. The name's Cloud. I'll be joining in my own team."
Phil exclaims, "The more the merrier! Now the games will really be something to see!"
Hercules chuckles before saying, "I'm looking forward to this. Don't expect me to pull any punches!"
Red replies, "Same to you Herc! Let's give it our best!"
Phil starts explaining, "Okay, let's get this show going! But first I gotta explain a few rules. Rule #1! First one through the obstacle course wins! Rule #2! In the event of a tie, a battle will determine the winner! Rule #3! You can interfere with your opponents on the course! And finally... Rule #4! All challengers have to give it everything they got! All right, enough with the spiel. On your marks... Get set... GO!!"
Everyone, but Cloud started running into the course. Cloud was walking into the course.
Later, the Mane Seven and Trinity Trio were separated from Hercules and Cloud. They went through the course in hopes of winning. Then later, they stop and notice that Cloud was right there.
Goofy says, "Gawrsh, that was nice of him to wait for us to catch up!"
Donald shook his head and countered, "He's not waiting! Remember Rule #3? 'You can interfere with your opponents on the course!'"
They look at the blonde swordsman and get ready to fight.
Cloud, however, said, "You can put that away. I'm not looking for a fight with you, so keep moving."
They were confused.
Red asks, "Are you sure?"
Cloud answers, "I'm not here for the Cup. Just Hercules. Today he loses more than the competition."
They realized what he means by that.
Fluttershy says, "Y-You don't mean... But why?"
Cloud tells them, "This is business. Stay out of it. Go win your Cup."
As he was about to walk from them, they were ready to fight against him.
Cloud stops and turns to them
"Do you realize what you're doing," asked Cloud.
Sora says, "Rule #3! You can interfere with your opponents. Right? You're not the only one who wants to fight Hercules."
After the fight between them, they used potion cards to help heal themselves. But what's strange is that Cloud is gone.
Rarity asks, "Where did Cloud ran off to?"
Pinkie Pie says, "You don't think that he's-"
Applejack said, "Yeah. He's heading towards the finish line."
Red then stated, "Then we better hurry then."
They rushed towards the end to hurry to the finish line. Eventually, they made it. But they see both Cloud and Hercules were fighting. But both were very tired.
Hercules yells, "You lost! Give it up, Cloud!"
Cloud panted and says, "We're not done yet..."
Hercules says, "I can't guarantee your safety if we keep going like this!"
Cloud countered, "Better worry about yourself. Looks to me like you're slowing down a bit."
Sora exclaimed, "Don't worry! I'll back you up!"
Everyone got in front of Hercules to help cover for him.
Cloud then says, "Get all the backup you want. I'm going to finish you and get back my memories!"
Everyone looked at him as they were confused. Memories?
Suddenly a voice was heard and it said, "Now, now, Cloud, we don't want to spill the beans."
He came from Hades. He appeared and looks at them."
Hercules exclaims, "Hades! You!"
The Lord of the Dead says, "Looks like you oversold yourself. All you did was wear him down. This doesn't look good for your performance rating... Let me put it this way: You, my spiky-haired friend, are fired."
Cloud was upset by this betrayal.
He said, "But...my memories! We had a deal!"
Hades scoffed before saying, "Did you really think you could get back your lost memories just like that? Get a grip!"
Cloud was about to attack him, but he was too injured.
Hercules tells him, "Hades, you were behind this from the start!"
Hades replies, "Cloud may have failed to take you out, but he did break you down. Time for Plan B. Pack your pita, Herc, 'cause you've just won a free trip to the Underworld, paid by me!"
Red exclaimed, "Hold it!"
Hercules says, "N-No!"
Sora says, "Come on! How are we gonna have a one-on-one with you if you're in the underworld."
Hades chuckled before saying, "Good point. I guess you'll just have to go with him! Rule #6! There are no rules! Ha ha!"
After defeating Hades, everything safe again. Until...
Rainbow dash says, "What?! The games are cancelled? How come?"
Phil tells her, "Two words! Everyone is pooped!"
Twilight then says, "Wait, that was more than two-"
She was cut off by Sora saying, "You gotta be kidding! What about our match with Hercules?"
Hercules tells them, "Sorry, but you wouldn't want me to compete in this condition. Let's have a match when I've rested up a bit. Can you wait?"
Sora then says, "Okay. I'll hold you to that."
As that was settled, Cloud starts to recover.
They walk over to him to check on him.
Twilight asks, "You okay?"
Cloud nods before saying, "Yeah. Sorry I messed up your games."
Sora then says, "Hey! Hope you get your memories back! Forget about what Hades said. Sometimes the tiniest thing can make you remember stuff you forgot years ago. If it's an important memory, there's no way it could ever be gone forever. That's what I think, anyway."
Cloud chuckled slightly before giving a card to Sora.
He said, "That's for you. For helping me out."
Sora asks, "Sure you don't want to just come with us instead?"
Cloud gave a smirk before saying, "Not interested."
They then headed out of Olympus Coliseum and headed back into Castle Oblivion.
As they were walking, Donald seems to be very concerned.
He said, "Aw... I hope the king is gonna be okay..."
Sora asked, "Why bring that up?"
Donald answers, "I had to be sure that I hadn't forgotten him."
Pinkie Pie asks, "Is that going good for you Donald?"
Donald answers, "Yep! I remembered! We're on a quest to find the king."
Goofy also says, "I remember that too. The king helped save everything by staying on the other side of the door to darkness. I think..."
Donald also says, "You got it Goofy!"
Twilight says, "And me and Red we're looking all over for our friends. It made us so worried, but we knew you guys would be okay. Right Red?"
Red didn't seem to pay attention as he was pondering.
They look at him as they were concerned.
Fluttershy says, "Red...?"
Red looks and sees that they were staring.
He said, "Y-Yeah? Oh uh yeah. I remember that too. Thank Celestia we founded you guys. Otherwise, we would've been very worried about what's gonna happen."
Sora then smiles as he says, "And me... I'm looking for Riku. He was with the king when the door closed. Hm. I guess there's no way we'll forget the most important memories."
Donald nods before saying, "That's good. 'Cause I don't want to forget..."
Meanwhile, in another room in the Castle, there was the same spikey red haired man that they fought before. There was able another person that he was talking to. It was a woman with blonde hair.
The woman says, "You seem pretty intrigued by this Sora kid."
Axel scoffed before asking, "Are you telling me you're not Larxene?"
The one named Larxene smirked before saying, "Haven't decided yet... I think what intrigues me more is what you see in him. Even more so than the horses that are with him."
Axel looks at her as he stayed quiet.
Then he explained, "There was a time he became a Heartless. And if one becomes a Heartless-"
Larxene cut him off and finished for him by saying, "They lose their minds and their feelings... They're consumed by the darkness."
Axel nods and continued, "Right. But not Sora. He held on to his feelings, even as a Heartless. And there's only one other man who's been able to do just that."
Larxene starts to think and eventually says, "It's the strength of his heart... That's what interests you. Why the Keyblade chose Sora's heart."
Axel smiles and says, "To unlock the mysteries of the heart. Isn't that the Organization's mission?"
