However, as part of the deal, the group must return an old book Cid fixed for a customer in the Third District.

[[|125px|left]]After arriving at the Mystical House, Sora sees an illusion of Kairi. This illusion fades, revealing the books owner, Merlin. Merlin claims that he was asked by the King to train Sora in the art of magic. Before leaving, the group is tasked with finding the book's missing torn pages. While walking through the Third District, Sora is ambushed by a Soldier Heartless, which tightly latches onto his back. The Heartless is defeated by a new figure, much to Sora's surprise.
2	17	"Reunion" "???" (???)	???	January 2006
[[|125px|left]]This new figure is actually Riku, who had also been looking for Sora and Kairi. Finally reunited, Sora invites Riku to join them in the search for their lost friends. This sparks a debate between Donald and Sora, allowing Riku to sneak away. As Sora wonders where Riku went, Maleficent and Riku are shown standing on a platform above the trio. Maleficent comments how Riku has been replaced by Donald and Goofy, and claims that she will help him in his search.

At the meeting, Leon asks if anyone has seen Maleficent, hearing that she has arrived in town. Sora does not know the name, prompting Yuffie to reveal the cause of destruction of their home world. Aerith comments that Maleficent is possibly gathering the scattered pages of Ansem's reports, a series of studies that could potentially reveal how to defeat the Heartless. Determined to find the report's pages, Sora, Donald, and Goofy leave for their next world. In Agrabah, Jasmine is shown fleeing from a group of Heartless lead by Jafar.

Just as Abu alerts Jasmine of Aladdin being in trouble, Jasmine is captured by the Heartless. In the desert, Sora, Donald, and Goofy are stuck in quicksand, with a lovestruck Aladdin distracted by thoughts of Jasmine. Eventually returning to the moment, Aladdin summons the Genie of the lamp to save the trio.
2	20	"The Genie of the Lamp" "???" (???)	???	January 2006
[[|125px|left]]After being rescued by Genie, Sora asks Aladdin why he is out in the middle of the desert. Aladdin explains how he was searching for legendary treasure in the Cave of Wonders, which is how he came to possess the magic lamp. Genie interrupts, reminding his new master of his remaining two wishes. Aladdin intends to use his second wish to become a wealthy prince so he can propose to Jasmine. Saving the wish for his return to Agrabah, Genie comments about his lack of freedom. This leads to Aladdin promising to use his final wish to free Genie. Also in the desert is Abu riding the Magic Carpet, searching for Aladdin.

Featured Worlds

• Traverse Town
• Agrabah
• Olympus Coliseum

Differences

• Because it was retconed from game continuity due to the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs pulling back the rights, Deep Jungle is excluded from the manga adaptation.
• Rather than tossing the Keyblade back to Sora, Riku causes it to re-materialize in Sora's hands.
• The destruction of Radiant Garden is covered with more detail, including a scene with Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith as children.
• Aerith does not appear until Sora's second visit to Traverse Town.
• The order of worlds post Wonderland differs from the order in game. Instead of heading to either Olympus Coliseum or Deep Jungle (which is omitted and retconed), the group returns to Traverse Town. This variation continues with Agrabah, then Olympus Coliseum, and finally Monstro.
• Aladdin uses his first wish to save Sora and his friends from a pit of quicksand, rather than to eliminate a swarm of Heartless. He uses his second wish to save Goofy, not Jasmine.
• Sora, Donald, and Goofy never visit Agrabah, they head straight to the Cave of Wonders.
• The Pot Centipede does not appear
• Maleficent takes Jasmine, rather than Riku.
• Abu's vocal sounds are subtitled with actual lines.
• Cid communicates with the trio by a video transmission.
