Back on the Gummi Ship, the crew just teleported back onto it.

"Whew, finally made it back." Velvet sighed, flopping into her seat.

"Where to next?" Donald asked as Laphicet got to the controls.

"Well, there's one world that is close to us." Sora noticed, looking up at the monitor, "Let's go through the special gate and..."

"Hold on." Velvet stopped him. Everybody turned to Velvet, who had the comb in her hand which the others didn't notice. "Laphicet, set coordinates for Twilight Town."

"Twilight Town?" echoed Sora.

"Why d'ya wanna go there?" Goofy questioned her.

"I'm not sure." Velvet answered steadily while looking at the comb. "But think about it; Twilight Town just appears out of the blue, the place where we all started this crazy journey together. I have this feeling that it's calling out to us. Don't you guys have that feeling?" Donald and Goofy shook their heads. Sora and Laphicet, however, felt somewhat the same way.

"I agree." Laphicet said, "We should go there first. I believe we need to go there for a reason. Besides, the world close to us isn't gonna disappear anytime soon. Well, Sora?"

"I guess we can double back." Sora assumed, "I am anxious to see Hayner, Pence and Olette."

"Then it's settled." Velvet concluded, "Laphicet, let's head back to Twilight Town!"

"Coordinates all set...Engage!" He chimed, and the Gummi ship turned around and headed back to Twilight Town.

At the same time, Eleanor and Eizen were waking up in the manor of Twilight Town, and were heading down to meet with Namine and Viola. They woke them with some urgent news.

"What's up?" Eleanor yawned as the two entered the computer room to meet Namine, who sat at the computer with Viola by her side, still wearing her hood.

"Well, we have some good news and bad news." Namine told them.

'Figures.' Eleanor and Eizen thought in unison, considering that the Reaper still had his curse.

"Tell us the good news first." Eizen told her.

"The good news is that the barrier that separated Twilight Town from most other worlds has lifted. More than likely, your friends will come back here again." Viola replied.

"You mean Laphicet can come back here again?!" Eleanor asked, now fully awake. Namine smiled and nodded.

"With any luck, he might be coming back soon." She told her. Eleanor looked excited at the news. Finally, she was able to reunite with her old malak again!

"Ok, what's the bad news." Eizen said abruptly.

"It seems like Organization XIII is making their move once again." Namine stated, tapping away at the computer, "This includes sending Nobodies to Twilight Town."

"What?!" The two said in unison.

"Why would they want do that?" Eleanor asked hastily.

"I don't know." Namine answered, "Though it is possible they are still looking for me." Eizen and Eleanor looked at one another. Namine only shared small details of what she's done in the past, but not the full story, nor her connection to Organization XIII. The same goes to Viola.

"In that case..." Eleanor declared, whipping out her spear, "We need to clear the town of all the Nobodies we can." She dashed out of the computer room, ready to fight. Eizen followed right behind her. Namine and Viola watched them go, and heard their footsteps disappear.

Up in the stronghold of Organization XIII, one of the members was looking outward, watching the large, glowing yellow heart in the sky. She then looked down, and started to giggle.
