Synopsis

After Sora defeats the Darkside, the ground underneath him begins to crumble and his world falls to the darkness.

In Traverse Town, Goofy notices that another star has gone out. Donald then suggests they find the human with the key right away. Pluto leaves the duo, and searches in a side alley, where he finds Sora. He wakes Sora by licking him in the face, much to his disgust. When Sora comes to, he begins to wonder how he got where he was, the last thing he remembered was being sucked into the darkness. So, he turns to Pluto looking for answers, but he just runs away. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure who has been watching him, whispers, "You finally arrived, holder of the key...".
