Meanwhile, in a dark tower an evil queen addresses her magic mirror.

Magic Mirror: What wouldst thou know my queen?

Queen Grimhilde: Magic Mirror on the wall who is the fairest one of all?

Magic Mirror: Famed is thy beauty, Majesty, but hold-- A lovely maid I see--
Rags cannot hide her gentle grace. Alas, she is more fair than thee.

Queen Grimhilde: Alas for her! Reveal her name.

Magic Mirror: Lips red as the rose, hair black as ebony, skin white as snow--

Queen Grimhilde: Snow White!

(Outside the castle, Princess Snow White, dressed in rags sings to her
wishing well. A Prince arrives, summoned by her song. At the harmony of the
duet, she smiles and he charmingly bows to her. Spooked by his arrival, she
rushes into the castle. He pursues her, continuing his song and she smiles
back at him as the Queen peers down at them through the curtained window.
Near the edge of the forest, Kurayami defeats a group of Heartless.

Kurayami: Now that that's done. "Arise"

(The group of heartless immediately come back to life. But now with red eyes. When he hears footsteps come. He quickly pretends to kill them.)

???: Why, why, who are you? I was standin' right over there, and I saw you
use that key of yours to get rid of those teachers--uh, creatures.

Kurayami: Im Kurayami. Oh.  this is- *he suddenly remembers the words the master of masters used to tell him. MoM: Remember! In order to keep the order of the worlds. You have to keep the keyblade and other worlds existing...secret.*

Kurayami: To be honest. I made it myself. I put a little bit of magic into it and boom. It suddenly kills those things. So. About those creatures. Have they been causing you any trouble?

??? *sighs* They've been nothin' but bubbles--uh--uh troubles. Oh, dear,
I haven't introduced myself! I'm Doc. Me and my friends smirk in the twine--
uh, work in the mine. Today was just a plain ol' day until those--those
monsters sprung up outta nowhere. We all ran out to chase 'em away, but no
one's come back. Oh, where could they have gone?

(He smiles)

Doc: I should thank my muddy jars--uh, lucky stars you showed up! I didn't
know what to do. I was sure I was done for! Well--uh, well, perhaps you
wouldn't mind helping me find my friends? I sure could use a band--uh,
stand--uh, your help.

Kurayami: Sure. Where do we start? Do you have any ideas where to start?

Doc: You will? Oh, thank you! I'll show you the way to the mine. Maybe we'll see one of the men on the way.

*They walk into the Dark Forest*

Doc: The mine's through the forest. We can't be too careful with those pesky
monsters around!

*Kurayami protects Doc by defeating Heartless as they travel through the Dark Forest.*

Doc: I sure feel safe with you here. It's up ahead.

Doc: Jiminy Crickets! I thought I'd stop at our cottage first, but we have
unexpected visitors! We gotta do somethin' before they dash our gnome--uh,
smash our home to smithereens! Will you help me?

Kurayami: On it. *kurayami takes out his keyblade. It's power glowing as he prepares for battle. He quickly slashes all the heartless quickly*

Doc: You sure showed him! And our cottage looks just dandy. I'm gonna pake
a teak--uh, take a peek inside to see if anyone's come home.

*Kurayami finishes defeating the  Heartless while Doc takes a look inside the house.
Chirithy appears*

Chirithy: You seem to be doing all right! I can't say the same for the person you were talking to. He looked pretty worried.

*Kurayami returns to the cottage*

Doc: Oh, am I glad to see you! The cottage was empty, so I went to check the mine. But another of those crying jeepers--uh, giant creatures. showed up again! I ran as soon as I saw it, but that solves nuthin'. Could you get rid
of him like you did the other one?

Kurayami: Right. *he makes his way to the mine and find a Large Body Heartless blocking
the entrance* well that's a big one. *he takes out his keyblade and gets into position*

Doc: I'd sure be grateful if you could take care of that monster.

Kurayami: Hyah! *he charges and attacks the heartless from the front but the attack just bounces off* hmm.. his weakness must be in the back *Kurayami jumps over the heartless and without giving it time to turn around. He slashed it and it disappeared*

Doc (smiling): I'm righty--uh, lighty--uh, mighty grateful for your help! Now I better take a look inside the mine. Maybe the others are back at work.

*They enter the diamond mine*

Doc: It's full o' monsters in here!

*Kurayami escorts Doc through the mine, keeping the Heartless at bay*

Doc: They should be in here somewhere...

*They find a tubby dwarf carrying a cheerful disposition*

Doc: There you are, Happy!

Happy: Why, if it ain't Doc! What's wrong? You sure look frazzled.

Doc: Well, a horse--uh, of course! I didn't know where you'd gone!

Happy: Gosh, that all? The mine car broke down, and there ain't no other way
of gettin' back.

Doc: Well, I'm just thankful you're all right. But where are the rest of the men? Are they around here?

Happy: I thought they were with you.

Doc: Oh, dear me... Who--uh, where could they have gone?

*he turns to Kurayami*

Doc: Thank you for your help! I never woulda found Happy here without you.

*Happy nods*

Happy: You're the one who helped Doc? Gosh, I'm mighty grateful, friend. That sure was nice of you. Now don't you worry, me and Doc will take it from here.

Doc: Good muck--I mean luck with everything.

*Doc and Happy leave and Chirithy reappears*

Chirithy: Looks like another satisfied customer Time to see if you can put your powers to use elsewhere. I'm sure there's someone somewhere who needs help.
