In a dark chapel, Maleficent and Hades stand around a table. Hades sighs as Maleficent faces away from them.

"That smarmy vizier could've had 'em–if someone had stuck around to give him a hand," Hades said. He looked over at Riku, who glanced back at him with narrowed eyes.

"Hey, I did my part. I brought the princess and the spirit, didn't I?" he said.

"Jafar was beyond help, consumed by his own hatred. One should beware of letting it burn too fiercely," Maleficent said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Lighten up. I'm as cool as they come, okay? By the way, kid, have we got something special for you," Hades said.

"Huh?" Riku asked as he looked toward Maleficent.

"We had a deal, yes? You help us, and we grant you your wish..." she said. An image of Kairi appeared on the table.

"Kairi!" Riku said.

"Go to her. Your vessel is waiting," Maleficent said.

"But what about (Y/N)? What's gonna happen to her?"

"You'll find out soon enough. Now go." A man walked in wearing pirate robes and a large feathered cap. He held up a hook for a hand, smirking.

"Just remember, this is no pleasure cruise. It won't be a pleasant voyage," he said.

"Why are you doing all this for me? What's the catch?" Riku asked Maleficent. She bent down to him, placing a hand on his cheek.

"Silly, boy. You're like a son to me. I only want you to be happy," she said. He knocked her hand away.

"I seriously doubt that," he said.

"Believe what you wish. But lest we forget, I kept my end of the bargain." He stared at her before walking towards the pirate. Back in Agrabah, Sora spoke to Aladdin.

"Here. Take this with you," Aladdin said as he handed Sora a keychain.

"Sora, please find Jasmine for me," he said. Sora and the others returned to the gummi ship.

"Could this torn page be from Merlin's book?" Sora asked.

"Let's return to town and give it to him," Goofy said. They returned to Merlin's Study and Sora entered the 100 Acre Wood. He found a tall, curious tree buzzing with bees.

"Hello, i-is anyone there?" someone asked. From inside a log nearby, a small piglet walked out, looking around nervously.

"Wh-Wh-What am I to do? I'm all alone. Pooh? Pooh? Where are you? It's me, Piglet." He turned around and a shadow crept over him. He looked up to see Sora towering over him and ran away behind the tree. He peeked out from its trunk, checking to see if Sora was gone. Sora sneaked up behind him and he stood frozen in place, completely terrified.

"Oh dear! I was j-just... N-Never mind. I'm sorry!" Piglet said. Piglet closed his eyes and Sora knelt to his level. 

"Don't be scared. You're looking for Pooh, right?" Sora said.

"You know Pooh?" He sighed with relief.

"Oh, y-you see, I-I have something for him. I have to take it to Pooh right away!" he said. He turned, seeing Winnie the Pooh walking towards the tree.

"Oh, Pooh!" Piglet called. He ran to meet the bear, who begins sniffing the air, smiling.

"Oh, I believe I smell a delicious something—a something like honey!" Pooh said.

"Pooh!" Piglet said. Piglet met him in front of the tree.

"Hello, Piglet. How have you been?" Pooh said.

"Oh, I-I'm so glad to see you. I thought you'd gone away. I brought wh-what you asked for." He gave Pooh a blue balloon.

"Thank you, Piglet. Now I can finally have some honey," Pooh said.

"Really? B-But how?" Piglet asked.

"I shall hold on to the balloon, and fly like a bee up the Hunny Tree, see."

"But if you take their honey, won't the bees be angry?"

"Hmm..." He stares at the balloon, thinking.

"Oh!" he said. Sora walked over to them.

"Oh hello, Sora. Where's (Y/N)?" Pooh said.

"I'm afraid that she's been kidnapped. I don't know by who though," Sora said.

"Oh bother. If you could only chase away those bees, I'm quite certain I could get a small morsel of honey. Would you help me get some honey?" Pooh said, changing the subject.

"Sure!" Sora said. Owl landed on a branch above them.

"Oh. Hello there, Owl," Pooh said.

"Good day, Pooh. What are you doing? Using a balloon to get some honey? Splendid idea! Allow me to offer a few pointers," Owl said. He flew to a higher branch.

"Ahem! Now, Pooh can get honey by floating up this tree with his balloon. The honey is inside the tree hollows, not the beehives you see here." He flew to an even higher branch.

"There's quite a lot of honey in these holes. If Pooh gets too close, the bees will come out to protect their honey. If they get to Pooh, they'll pop his balloon. Lock onto the bees and swat them away. The more time Pooh has at each hollow, the more honey he can eat. There's more honey higher up, too. If jumping from branch to branch proves difficult, try the Rush command. Rush can help you catch up to Pooh quickly. But it isn't fully reliable. Good luck." Sora helped toss Pooh into the air and he floated up the tree, gathering honey. Sora swatted away the bees that attacked, letting Pooh enjoy his meal. Pooh grabbed handfuls of honey in his mouth from inside the tree.

"It is rather funny what I will do for honey," Pooh giggled. Sora left the 100 Acre Wood with a summon gem in hand. He gave it to the Fairy Godmother. "Oh, another summon gem? Let's help this little one. Here we go! Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!" she said. Sora was granted the power to summon Bambi.

"If you find any more of these stones, bring them to me. And I'm sorry about (Y/N). You'll find her. I know you will. She has a strong heart," she said.

"Thank you," Sora said. They left Traverse Town and flew the gummi ship to the next world.
