==Synopsis==
==Story==
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.
At [[The Mysterious Tower]], [[Pete]] sends a bunch of [[Shadow]]s after [[Yen Sid]]. As the train with [[Sora]], [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] in it arrives at the tower, a powerful explosion sounds. Pete leaves the tower, charred from the explosion, with Yen Sid telling him he'll never join them. As Pete prepares to leave through a [[Corridor of Darkness]], threatening Yen Sid that [[Maleficent]] will turn him into a [[Heartless]], Yen Sid informs him Maleficent is dead. Yen Sid spots Sora, Donald, and Goofy, and invites them inside.


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 [[Form:Sora#Kingdom Hearts II Version|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.
Yen Sid tells Sora, Donald, and Goofy about the [[Nobodies]], and [[Organization XIII]]. He explains [[Mickey]] is trying to figure out their intent. Donald immediately says he and Goofy are going to help Mickey. When Yen Sid asks Sora what he will do, Sora thinks about [[Kairi]], who is waiting for him on the [[Destiny Islands]], but says she'll have to wait a little longer, as he has yet to find [[Riku]]. Yen Sid calls on [[Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather]] to give Sora a new outfit, and shows Sora the [[Gummi Ship]], which Mickey left behind. He informs Sora that the pathways between worlds have been closed, but that they can be opened by unlocking special gates. At last, Sora, Donald and Goofy fly off in the Gummi Ship.


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.
Pete returns to [[Villain's Vale]] to see if Maleficent is really dead. As he looks for her, [[Maleficent's Raven]] appears with her cloak, causing Maleficent to reappear.  


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.
