Terra and Henry walked for twenty minutes around a few different hallways and different rooms, not having encountered any threats so far.

While they were walking, Henry turned towards Terra to ask him:

"What brings you to this studio?"

"Hm?" Terra was a bit caught off guard by this question.

"I had asked Aqua but I never really got an answer. So, what brings you, her, and your missing friend here?"

Terra would remain silent as he isn't sure how exactly to answer this without breaking the world order.

He took a few seconds of deep thinking before answering with something that he believed would satisfy Henry:

"We were actually looking for a missing friend. Having entered this studio was by mistake."

Henry took note of this and would've left that question as is but something felt off.

"...something doesn't add up though?" Henry paused for a second which caught Terra's attention. "That weapon she's holding, it's not any weapon I've ever seen. Not to mention the abilities she can do are not normal. What are you guys exactly?"

Terra figured that this question would come up if the residence of the world didn't have any kind of real magic around since what he's currently has encountered seems...underwhelming to what he and his friends have dealt with before.

"We are...guardians of sorts."

"Guardians? Of what exactly?"

"Let's say we are guardians of light, we protect what's good."

"Okay."

Henry understood that anything more would either be too complicated to understand or beyond understanding.

The only thing he could sum up is that Aqua, Terra, and their other friend are abnormal but people he can trust.

As this conversation seems to be wrapping up, it did prompted Terra to wonder why Henry was in a place like this.

"What about you? What brings you here?"

"Joey wanted to show me something...now I'm starting to think that it was a trap for me."

"It does sound like a trap. This place is dangerous."

"Haha yeah, I can see that now." Henry laughed it off nervously, having seen just how hard Aqua struggled facing the dark creatures and the ink creatures that would easily kill him.

He and Terra moved onto another room to see that this one had a few ink creatures walking around aimlessly.

This prompted the two to get their weapons ready for battle with Henry pulling out his axe while Terra summoned his keyblade.

As they entered the room slowly and cautiously, Henry looked up to see the sign saying Heavenly Toys.

"Wow. I don't remember any of this."

"You used to be at this place?" Terra questioned.

"I used to work here with Joey."

"Used to? What happened?"

Henry remained silent for a few seconds before responding.

"We had a fallout. Knowing now why I'm here, he still hates me for leaving."

Terra looked at Henry as he said this, seeing that he was saddened when saying this.

He turned forward to see one of the ink creatures charging at him.
