As the events in Deep Jungle were concluding… Sora took notice of the keyhole which she'd locked with her keyblade. It wasn't the first one of its kind, as she recalled the one in Wonderland. It seemed like her keyblade purposely sought them out in order to close them, but she'd yet to figure out why.

What's more they'd collected two new gummi blocks from the keyholes, but had no idea what they were for. They were shaped differently than most blocks and it was decided that it was worth a trip back to Traverse town. Maybe Leon or someone could tell them what to use them for.

As they made the return trip, Sora admired the charm on her keyblade, the tiny trinket had been given to her by Tarzan as a symbol of their new found friendship. When she slid it on her keyblade morphed and changed shape.

"This is so cool! The keyblade even feels different… it's lighter, quicker. I wonder if I can find other charms that will change its appearance."

"We'll know more once we've talked to Leon… if he can't tell us what we want to know I'm sure he can point us in the right direction." Goofy said confidently as they approached the town in question.

"I guess you're right," Sora sat up and then jumped to the control. "It's my turn to drive!" She grabbed the controls from Goofy making him fall over and she pushed the ship at full speed. "The faster we get there the faster we'll get some answers!"

~Hollow Bastion~

The dark council room inside the castle of Hollow Bastion crowded with voices and persons of varying forms, but standing at the pinnacle of them was the main person of importance. He was a tall malevolent being with curved horns, pale greenish skin, and a well toned physique. The eyes of this man were harsh and calculating as he stared down at the projected figures of the keyblade wielder and her friends. He lifted a hand to his bearded chin suppressing a chuckle as a plan formed in his head.

"The girl is becoming a problem." Jafar strolled up next to him, his staff planted firmly on the cold stone ground. "She's found one of the keyholes."

"No need to worry, it'll take her ages to find the rest." His voice was deep and resonating like the bellow of a beast. "Besides she remains blissfully unaware of our other plan…"

"Yes, the princesses…." Ursula chuckled deeply from behind them still lingering in the darkness. "How are we in that pursuit, Vincent? I heard you had recruited some help in that particular field."

"That I have… and speak of the devil," Vincent waved his hand and the images change to that of Riku bringing in another girl, Alice from the Wonderland world. "It would seem he's brought me a gift. Excuse me, my friends… I have some plans to unfold… go about your individual duties, and report back to me when you've all made progress."

In a whirl of capes Vincent walked out of the room and through a portal of darkness. The warp hole teleported him from the small hallway, to all the way up the top of the tower; The Princess Chamber. Riku had just finished putting Alice into her freezing cell as Vincent walked up to him.

"Well done, boy. Your capture of Alice was flawless. It would seem your training is paying off."

"The job was easy, but I still don't feel right about kidnapping these girls." Riku frowned looking at Vincent with a deep frown. "Why do we have to put them in here?"
