Synopsis

The group struggles in their fight against the now giant Ursula. The wicked sea witch wraps the group in her numerous tentatcles, mocking their weakness. As Ursula twirls the sea around her, she is struck in the back by the point of a ship, releasing her hold on the group. By their attacks and attempts at confusing Ursula, she eventually loses her grip on the trident, which promptly shocks her. This defeats the witch, as the merfolk-turned sea urchin people return to their true forms. Ariel returns the trident to her now normal father. The two apologize and makeup. King Triton has a final request for Sora: to seal the Keyhole. They head to Ariel's Grotto, where Sora seals the Keyhole. Ariel asks Sora about his world, rambling on about how her desire to see other worlds. While Triton warns Sora about the Keyblade's power, Sora finds a piece of Ansem's report lying behind some pottery.

The trio leaves the grotto, preparing to board the Gummi Ship. As they do so, they wonder about what was written on the other pages of Ansem's reports.

Meanwhile, back at Traverse Town, Aerith is seen translating Ansem's reports.
