Synopsis

Maleficent chastises Pete, questioning his usefulness. She leaves, ordering him out of her sight. Still upset, Pete reminisces about earlier days, musing in his previous villain schemes. As he wishes to travel back in time, a silver door appears before him. As he opens it, Maleficent returns, commenting that he has finally proved useful. Elsewhere at Disney Castle, Daisy reports that the Enchanted Brooms are running amok. Queen Minnie fixes this, concluding the disturbance to be a result of the trouble occurring in the worlds. As the two state their concerns over their respective loved ones, Queen Minnie comments that the cornerstone of light will protect the castle. Concerned over its well-being, the two head through the audience chamber to the cornerstone of light. Once there, the two discover the room to be filled with thorns and Heartless. The two flee, with Queen Minnie successfully sealing the room behind them. Back on the Gummi Ship, the trio continue to their next world: Disney Castle. Before the trio arrives, Queen Minnie and Daisy fight off the Heartless, taking refuge in the library. The trio successfully lands in the gummi hanger, eventually learning of the Heartless endangering the castle. The trio progresses through the castle, making their way to the library. After Sora unlocks the door via the Keyblade, the trio reunites with Minnie and Daisy. Queen Minnie explains how there are thorns surrounding the cornerstone of light, draining it of its energy. She continues, claiming that these thorns must be the result of something previously sleeping.
