Chapter 12: The Key that Will Open the Door to Light

Synopsis
Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive at the Mysterious Tower just as Master Yen Sid sends Pete away. Pete threatens, claiming the wizard will be turned into a Heartless by Maleficent. Yen Sid counters, revealing Maleficent is no more. Shocked, Pete accidentally falls into a nearby pond. Donald and Goofy bow before Master Yen Sid, stating he was King Mickey's master. Master Yen Sid welcomes the trio inside, taking them upstairs.

Yen Sid congratulates the trio on successfully defeating the Heartless threat. However, he introduces a new rising problem to the group: Nobodies. After explaining their creation, Yen Sid discusses the threat posed by Organization XIII. He states that it is this group that Mickey has gone to inspect. The group decides to assist the King. Pleased in their decision, Yen Sid sends Sora to get new clothes from Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. Once in his new attire, Yen Sid gives the group back their Gummi Ship. Yen Sid sends the group away, reminding Sora that he is the "key" to opening the door of light.

Once the group is gone, the three fairies ask Yen Sid how Sora will find the solution. Yen Sid simply states that while there is light, darkness will also be found.

After leaving the Mysterious Tower, Pete returned to Hollow Bastion, searching for Maleficent. After commenting that maybe the witch is dead, Maleficent's raven flies in, soon followed by its master.

On the Gummi Ship, the trio reunites with Chip and Dale. Dale tells the group that only gate open at the moment is Hollow Bastion. Excited to see Leon, the group heads there.
