Sora and the others boarded the gummi ship and flew around space. While they were flying, Sora thought about you and how you were holding up.

"Well, we found the Navi-Gummi piece. Let's go back to town," Donald said, causing Sora to snap out of his thoughts.

"Cid'll install it on the ship once we bring it to him," Goofy said. They returned to Traverse Town and traveled to the First District, where they found Pinocchio and Geppetto in a new house.

"Pinocchio?" Sora asked.

"Hey, it's Sora," Pinocchio said.

"Well, hello Sora!" Geppetto said.

"How did you get here?" Sora asked.

"A man named Leon helped us. He even got us this house to live in. I don't know how I'll ever repay his kindness. Say, I hear you three are fighting the Heartless. I thought I might be able to help you, so I made this," Geppetto said as he handed Sora a gummi ship blueprint.

"For us?" Sora asked.

"But of course! Pinocchio and I can't thank you enough! We'll do anything we can to help you," Geppetto said.

"I'm being good, even without Jiminy's help," Pinocchio said. The three of them left and spoke to Cid in the First District.

"Looks like you found the other one. Let me see it," Cid said. Sora handed Cid the gummi block.

"Okay, wait here. I'll get it installed right now," he said. As they waited for Cid to modify their ship, Sora stared at the ground sadly.

"Sora!" Donald said.

"Now, just remember what Donald said to ya: no frowning, no sad faces," Goofy said.

"How can you be so cheerful? There's still no sign of (y/N) or your king. Aren't you worried?" Sora said.

"Aw, phooey."

"The king told us to go out and find the key bearer, and we found you. So as long as we stick together, it'll all work out okay. Ya just gotta believe in yourself, that's all."

"Yeah but what about (Y/N)? What's will happen to her?"

"It's just like Goofy said. You just gotta believe."

"Just believe..." Sora closed his eyes and heard two voices.

"I believe in you," you and Kairi said at the same time. Sora found himself flying toward a great shining light, which enveloped everything. Slowly, a room began to fade in around him, filled with bookshelves and stained glass windows. He floated in the air, watching.

"Where am I?" he asked. He saw an old woman sitting on a chair under a long staircase. A young girl with red hair ran up to the woman, who smiled down at her.

"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?" the old lady said. Sora blinked and the woman disappeared.
