Chapter 11: Putting the Twilight Behind Us

Synopsis
Hayner, Pence and Olette find a bag of ice cream at the Usual Spot, but with an extra one. Despite their efforts, the group cannot determine the reasoning.

Meanwhile, Roxas stands looking into Sora's pod. He hears a train, and remembers the time he spent on the tower with his "friends" as he starts to fade away. Roxas shares one more word with a sleeping Sora before disappearing for good: "You're lucky. I was supposed to have one more day. But it looks like my summer vacation...is over."

Standing on one of the rooftops in Twilight Town, Axel complains about the new rip in his black coat.

At the Station Plaza, King Mickey arrives, wearing a black coat. He is met outside by the mysterious man.

Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy awaken from their slumber, unable to remember how they made it to the current location. Sora leads the group outside, where they find a festival. The trio begins to explore the numerous attractions, but soon overhear a dispute. Sora soon intervenes, telling both Hayner and Seifer to be mature. Seifer tells Sora to go away, only to be hit by Sora's water balloon and mask. Impressed with the action, Hayner takes Sora to meet Pence and Olette at the train station.

In the Station Plaza Hayner encourages the group to ride one of the trains, thinking it will help restore their memory. Sora is shown grinning at Hayner and Olette, but cannot explain why. Suddenly, a swarm of Dusk attack the station, starting to slip through the closed doors. King Mickey appears, swiftly defeating the enemies. He orders the group to go, saying he cannot return with them just yet. The King tosses Donald a munny pouch, instructing them to give it to Sora. Sora, Donald, and Goofy board the train, bidding farewell to their new friends.

Back at the Old Mansion, the mysterious man tells DiZ he must be going.

At the Mysterious Tower, Pete is shown along with a Shadow, talking about his plan of world domination.

While on the train, the group complains of the amount of time the ride is taking. However, not long after Sora spots a tall tower in the distance.
