FADE IN:

EXT. CANYON - DAY
                                                            
                       ANSEM (VO)
      (Calmly)
I bring you to a time bent on
chaos. Where two worlds collide
for power. The Gods created an
ancient artifact known as Kingdom
Hearts, to grant wishes of only
the chosen owner. It is known to
be a gift of life or a weapon of
total destruction, depending on
the will of the wisher. The
unified realms of the Alliance and
the dark empire of the
Organization declared war on each
other for its power. Every inch of
land was burned to dust with their
magic. Now at last, they meet for
the final time.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE IN
                                                            
The wind blows dust from a hillside, of a barren wasteland.
No life appears to live here. KINGDOM HEARTS (A giant,
floating heart with three rings circling it) waits on a
center platform, on top of a pyramid.
                                                            
A SOLDIER stands on a hillside. He is covered in black
armor, like a demon.
                                                            
EAST HILLSIDE
                                                            
An ARMY of creatures (lions from Pride Rock, gorillas from
Tarzan, foot soldiers of Disney, etc.) from all over the
Disney worlds assembles. This is the army of the ALLIANCE. A
MAN covered in gold armor is in front. He is King CENARION.
                                                            
CENARION is the high King of all the ANIME worlds and one of
two original guardians of Kingdom Hearts.
                                                            
                       CENARION
      (Calm)
There's my brother. Ready
yourselves for battle!
                                                            
The army of light erupts into cheers. The clinging and
banging of armor and weapons is heard throughout the canyon.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE UP
                                                            

2.

WEST HILLSIDE
                                                            
TYRANIUS looks behind him. Within an instant, he stares
forward as his army of Nobodies (incomplete energy massed
demons) marches to him, led by his cloaked organization
members.
                                                            
TYRANIUS is the leader of the Organization bound to destroy
the universe and is the other guardian of Kingdom Hearts.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
Bring me Cenarion's key. No
prisoners. No mercy. I want their
screams to echo throughout the
universe.
                                                            
CANYON CENTER
                                                            
Cannons and tanks are roaring towards their lines,
positioning themselves along both sides of the canyon. All
are preparing for battle.
                                                            
WEST HILLSIDE
                                                            
Tyranius calls his keyblades (swords in the shape of a key),
which come shooting out from his palms. Holding his swords
tight, he charges. His army follows.
                                                            
EAST HILLSIDE
                                                            
Cenarion calls his blades and charges forward. His army
roars behind him.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE ON
                                                            
The artillery from both armies begin their bombardments. The
rifles and cannons unleash a nightmarish toll on both
armies.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE UP
                                                            
The Organization champion XEMNAS jumps high in the air and
lands in the middle of the army, causing a shock wave which
blasts about a hundred men from him. He calls his blades and
begins slashing down his enemies.
                                                            
XEMNAS is the champion of the Organization and is the
strongest, most powerful keyblade master to exist.
                                                            
Soldiers are flying in the air. Bombs exploding. Lightning,
plasma waves, all types of magic erupting in combat.
                                                            

3.

BASE OF PYRAMID
                                                            
After slashing down a guard, Tyranius looks up.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
      (Screaming)
Cenarion! Show your coward hide to
me!
                                                            
Tyranius looks around for a second, then turns into a
dropkick from Cenarion.
                                                            
                       CENARION
You called for me monster. Here I
am.
                                                            
Tyranius gets up and they begin sword fighting. Tyranius
swings and misses, but blocks a thrust from Cenarion and
punches him in the face. Cenarion hits the ground hard.
                                                            
CANYON FLOOR
                                                            
MICKEY notices his king in trouble and rushes to him, only
to be cut off by Xemnas.
                                                            
MICKEY is the king of Disney Castle and is one of the
original keyblade masters.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Joking)
Where do you think your going
rodent?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
No where. I was just looking for
you.
                                                            
Mickey slams his foot on the ground, causing a slight
earthquake at Xemnas' feet which knocks him down. Xemnas
gets up and returns a plasma wave which sends Mickey flying
backwards to the ground.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Get up rat! I'm just starting to
have fun with you.
                                                            
Xemnas leaps toward Mickey and is surprised by a kick to the
stomach. They begin dueling with their swords, neither
gaining a foot against the other.
                                                            

4.

BASE OF PYRAMID
                                                            
Cenarion is thrown to the ground. He is bleeding badly. He
looks up to see Kingdom Hearts. Tyranius grabs the key from
his neck and holds him from behind.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
I'll take that key, little
brother. Your too weak to have
such power.
                                                            
Tyranius raises his sword. Suddenly, he is hit from behind
by a masked warrior. Tyranius drops the key, as he turns to
his attacker. Cenarion grabs the key and sneaks away.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
Fool. You think you can kill me?
                                                            
The masked warrior points past Tyranius. Tyranius turns
around to see his brother using the Lost Key to unlock the
rings around Kingdom Hearts.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
NO!!!!
                                                            
Once the last ring falls, Cenarion leaps into Kingdom
Hearts. Kingdom Hearts lights up, as the fighting suddenly
stops everywhere. A quick flash of light. After, Darkness.
                                                            
                       ANSEM (vo)
Kingdom Hearts granted Cenarion's
wish and both armies were
destroyed. Yet, the war remains.
Both empires continue their quests
for Kingdom Hearts. Still fighting
for that same power.
                                                            
Two lines begin to slide around the screen and form a giant
heart.
                                                            
SUPER: KINGDOM HEARTS: REIGN OF DARKNESS
                                                            
OPENING: SOFT FLUTE PLAYING
                                                            
 
EXT. FORT ZEAKDEN - NIGHT
                                                            
EXT. MAIN WALL
                                                            
It's RAINING. GUARDS cover ever part of the main WALL. It is
a heavily guarded fortress. Kingdom Hearts rests in the
highest catacombs of the fortress. A CAPTAIN approaches some
guards.
                                                            

5.

                       FORT CAPTAIN
      (Hasty)
How goes the watch, boys?
                                                            
Both guards give an agreeing nod. The Captain lighty slaps
them both on the back (the clanging sound of steel armor)
and continues his walk through the fort.
                                                            
INT. CHAMBER
                                                            
Cold. Slightly DARK room, with torches lit. There is barely
enough light to see anything. It's empty, with the exception
of the guards and Kingdom Hearts at the rear of the chamber.
                                                            
The two guards stand firm in front of Kingdom Hearts.
Suddenly, a shadowy figure with keyblades (key-shaped
swords) appears behind them. In one swing, he slashes them
in the back.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Sigh)
Hmph! Pathetic.
                                                            
His blades disappear! As if he dismissed them. He turns to
Kingdom Hearts. He removes his hood. It's XEMNAS. His silver
hair slightly covering his face. He smiles, as he places his
right hand upon it.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Kingdom Hearts! At last.
                                                            
EXT. MAIN WALL
                                                            
The Captain continues his patrol when he suddenly notices a
figure in the distance.
                                                            
                       FORT CAPTAIN
      (Shouting)
Look alive, boys! We have a lost
guest at our door. Send out a
patrol.
                                                            
Riflemen begin piling up at the main wall. The drawbridge
lowers and a handful of riders begin approaching the figure.
                                                            
OUTSKIRTS OF FORT ZEAKDEN
                                                            
He is SAIX.
                                                            
SAIX is one of the head members as well as the most cruel of
the Organization.
                                                            

6.

He removes his hood, to reveal his face and a scar lies
right under his right eye. He stands firm. The riders get
closer to him.
                                                            
MAIN WALL
                                                            
The Captain watches silently. A GUARD approaches him.
                                                            
                       GUARD
Sir. Why are we sending a patrol?
He might be a messenger.
                                                            
                       FORT CAPTAIN
      (Aware)
He's not a messenger. And if he
was one of ours...(pauses) the
King would not have sent him
alone.
                                                            
OUTSKIRTS OF FORT ZEAKDEN
                                                            
The riders reach Saix. Their spears point towards his
throat. He stands firm.
                                                            
                       GUARD
      (Demanding)
State your business!
                                                            
                       SAIX
I am here to deliver a message.
                                                            
                       GUARD
What message? And to who?
                                                            
                       SAIX
To your King. My message is...
                                                            
Suddenly, Saix calls his Claymores. He leaps at the guard
and slashes him off his horse. Then NOBODIES rush from the
surrounding trees and destroy the patrol.
                                                            
MAIN WALL
                                                            
                       FORT CAPTAIN
      (Shouting)
Nobodies! Rifles, prepare to fire.
Raise the Gate! Seal off the
chamber to Kingdom Hearts.
                                                            
Saix rushes to the wall, followed by the army of Nobodies.
The riflemen begin firing, as guards rush to Kingdom Hearts'
chamber.
                                                            

7.

CHAMBER
                                                            
Guards pour in. They shut the door and barricade it. The
torches are dying out. They turn to see their fallen
comrades. Then, Xemnas appears from the shadows behind them.
                                                            
MAIN WALL
                                                            
Rifles are firing in every direction. Saix disappears and
reappears at the wall. He slams his feet on the stone,
causing a shockwave that demolishes the wall and sends
riflemen flying everywhere.
                                                            
                       SAIX
      (Demanding)
Bring this place to the ground.
Kingdom Hearts is ours for the
taking!
                                                            
The Nobodies pour over the demolished wall and enter the
fort. The Captain begins stabbing Nobodies with his sword.
Saix appears from behind, and cuts him down.
                                                            
INNER WALL
                                                            
The chamber doors open and Xemnas walks out. The guards'
bodies are stacked on top of each other in the chamber.
Xemnas walks to the ledge and watches the battle.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Amused)
Too easy. Hehe...too easy.
                                                            
Xemnas stands triumphant, as his army crushes the fort
defenses. Fort Zeakden has fallen to the Organization.
Flames and bodies cover the fort halls.
                                                            
 
EXT. THE WORLD THAT NEVER WAS - NIGHT
                                                            
The air is dark and cold. The city itself is abandoned on
the outside. A slight wind rolls against the towering
buildings. There is a thunder storm.
                                                            
ALLEYWAY
                                                            
Suddenly, two men jump into an alley. They are ROXAS and
AXEL. Axel is carrying a child. They run past some trash
cans and hide behind a dumpster.
                                                            
ROXAS is the Nobodie (dark half) of Sora (main character of
the story) and is a major part of his past.
                                                            

8.

AXEL is Roxas's best friend and is one of the head members
of the Organization.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
      (Nervous)
Axel! Keep the boy quiet.
                                                            
                       AXEL
      (Huffing)
I'm trying. Be quiet, kid.
                                                            
The boy quiets down. There is a silence. Then, footsteps.
Closer and closer they get to the dumpster. Then they stop.
Both boys freeze.
                                                            
                       ANARA
      (Whispering to
       herself)
I think he went this way.
                                                            
ANARA is the last of the head members and is the right hand
of Xemnas.
                                                            
Anara approaches the dumpster, slowly. Then she stops. She
turns to see MARLUXIA walking in with her scythe by her
side.
                                                            
MARLUXIA is the servant of Anara and is the Organizations
known problem solver.
                                                            
                       ANARA
Marluxia. What is it?
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
Milady, I believe there might be
two of them.
                                                            
                       ANARA
What gives you that idea?
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
I find it hard to believe that one
member made it this far without
help.
                                                            
                       ANARA
True. Has Xemnas returned from the
fort yet?
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
No, milady. He has not.
                                                            

9.

                       ANARA
      (Dissapointed)
Very well. Keep searching. Bring
me their heads. I have to prepare
my report.
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
Yes, milady. I have dispatched
Nobodies to the Southern and
Western regions. The Northern
region should be finishing their
sweep and I'll move them to the
docking bay.
                                                            
                       ANARA
Good. I don't want to disappoint
Xemnas when he returns. Find them,
Marluxia.
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
I will, milady.
                                                            
Anara walks away. Marluxia takes a few steps towards the
dumpster. She stands quietly, listening. After a brief
moment, she turns and follows her master out of the alley.
                                                            
                       AXEL
Great. The Northern region is
heading to the docks. Were
finished.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
Don't think like that. We must get
the boy somewhere safe.
                                                            
                       AXEL
Why are you doing this? What's so
great about this kid that makes us
want to nearly get ourselves
killed over?
                                                            
                       ROXAS
He has a great destiny ahead. I
believe he is the one meant to
save us.
                                                            
                       AXEL
You do realize if were caught,
we'll be executed.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
A risk I'm willing to take.
(pauses). Let's go.
                                                            

10.

Roxas and Axel don't hesitate, they get up and run through
the city.
                                                            
DOCKING BAY
                                                            
They notice the legendary warship RAGNAROK is tied quietly
to the dock. The entire vessel is built with reinforced
steel. Cannons and gunner stations cover most of the body of
the ship. The hull is built to look like a giant dragon. The
ship alone could win an aerial battle against a fleet.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
      (Surprised)
The Ragnarok!
                                                            
                       AXEL
We better hurry. The Northern
region should be moving this way
soon.
                                                            
THE RAGNAROK
                                                            
They rush inside. Axel races to the cockpit. He places the
boy in one of the pilot chairs. He begins starting up the
ship.
                                                            
EXT. DOCKS
                                                            
Suddenly, Roxas is noticed by Nobodies.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
Hurry Axel! Get us out of here.
                                                            
Drones rush towards Roxas, who cuts them down easily one by
one. The boosters come online. The engines roar with power
that shakes the very ground.
                                                            
Roxas rushes over and jumps into the Ragnarok hull. He
closes the hatch and Axel flies the ship out of the city.
                                                            
 
INT. CASTLE OBLIVION - NIGHT
                                                            
THRONE ROOM
                                                            
A giant, dark chair sits at the head of the room. Black
banners space out on the ceiling, lining up to a black
carpet up to the throne.
                                                            
Xemnas walks in, followed by Saix. Anara stands by the
throne, as they reach the chair.
                                                            

11.

                       ANARA
I hear your forces burned the fort
to the ground.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Pleased)
Yes. We also have Kingdom Hearts.
I had the drones move it to the
West Tower.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Well planned, champion.
                                                            
Xemnas looks at Anara.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Where is the boy?
                                                            
Anara kneels in shame in front of Xemnas.
                                                            
                       ANARA
      (Shaky)
He escaped us. It appears some
members were behind it.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Ridiculous! Who would be that
foolish!? (pauses) Well, we just
need to find out who is missing.
                                                            
                       ANARA
It's not that easy. How many
members are out searching the
city?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
It doesn't matter. We have Kingdom
Hearts. The most important jewel
in this war.
                                                            
                       SAIX
So step one is complete of your
master plan. Now what?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Finding the emperor and the key
are top priorities. For now,
retrieve the boy.
                                                            
                       SAIX
And why are we waiting to release
the Emperor?
                                                            

12.

                       XEMNAS
We need the boy. The boy is
crucial to the Emperor's return.
                                                            
                       ANARA
I'll close off all docks, and
leave only Disney Castle open.
This way when they think they are
safe in Disney province, we'll
trap them.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Good idea, Anara. Saix and I will
intercept. Stay here and prepare
for our return.
                                                            
                       ANARA
Yes, sir.
                                                            
Anara gets back to her feet. Saix follows Xemnas out.
                                                            
 
INT. RAGNAROK - NIGHT
                                                            
SPACE. Every Disney world has a region that distinguishes it
from the others. Each planet has a port that is the only
access to the worlds.
                                                            
COCKPIT
                                                            
Roxas looks out the window at the stars and surrounding
worlds. He covers the sleeping boy in blankets. Axel sits in
silence.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
      (Whispering)
What's wrong, Axel?
                                                            
Axel turns around. A nervous look on his face.
                                                            
                       AXEL
      (Whispering)
All of the ports are closed,
except for one.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
Which one?
                                                            
                       AXEL
Disney Castle.
                                                            

13.

                       ROXAS
Think the Organization are trying
to corner us?
                                                            
Axel nods in agreement.
                                                            
                       AXEL
And when we land, they'll ambush
us and take the boy.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
We both know, their not after just
the boy.
                                                            
Axel turns back around and stares seriously at Roxas. Roxas
comes in closer to the overhead map.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
We'll fly straight to Disney
Castle and land right outside of
it.
                                                            
                       AXEL
And how are we going to dodge
their defense cannons?
                                                            
                       ROXAS
      (Confident)
Don't you remember what ship were
in? The Ragnarok. The long lost
ship from space that the
Organization salvaged from
wreckage.
                                                            
                       AXEL
Right. It's only been twenty years
since they have seen it.
Suspicious?
                                                            
                       ROXAS
You know we have to chance it.
                                                            
                       AXEL
And when we get past them, then
what? Land where?
                                                            
Roxas points on the map. Axel acknowledges.
                                                            
                       AXEL
Risky. Land right outside the gate
is risky. Better hope there aren't
any guards.
                                                            

14.

                       ROXAS
I'm more worried about the
Nobodies coming after us than the
guards.
                                                            
SPACE
                                                            
Axel kicks on the boosters and they fly to Disney Castle.
Seconds pass by, they are in Disney province.
                                                            
COCKPIT
                                                            
A flashing gauge lights up on the console. Roxas pushes it.
A voice comes on.
                                                            
                       DALE
      (Firm)
State your access number and
reason for transport.
                                                            
Roxas and Axel look at each other concerned. Then they hear
a smacking sound on the intercom.
                                                            
                       CHIP
You stupid dimwit!
                                                            
A pause.
                                                            
                       CHIP
Hehe. Sorry about that Ragnarok.
We thought we would never see you
again. Welcome back. Well send an
escort into port. Proceed to port
nine for debriefing.
                                                            
Roxas pushes the button again.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
      (Nervous)
Uh, thank you control. We will
proceed to port nine.
                                                            
                       AXEL
Well that was easier than I
thought.
                                                            
Axel slows down the boosters and they begin to cruise
through Disney province.

They continue to fly, cautiously. Suddenly their left
booster engine is hit.
                                                            
COCKPIT
                                                            
Roxas looks on the map, and sees several flashing warnings.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
      (Shouting)
Nobodies!! They found us!
                                                            
                       AXEL
I hate it when I'm right. Hang on!
                                                            
SPACE
                                                            
Axel maneuvers ahead of a handful of missiles. They all
miss. Then a laser damages the right boosters.
                                                            
COCKPIT
                                                            
                       ROXAS
      (Panic)
Let's go! Come on.
                                                            
                       AXEL
With what? We have no auxillary
power to the boosters. Were
basically just floating.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
Then get ready. When they come,
well fight them till we can't.
                                                            
                       AXEL
And if it's Xemnas?
                                                            
                       ROXAS
It was a nice attempt at least.
                                                            
SPACE-DISNEY PROVINCE
                                                            
NOBODIE attack fighters circle the Ragnarok. A single
fighter sits right in the front, followed by another.
                                                            
COCKPIT (ENEMY FIGHTER)
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Get onboard and retrieve the boy.
Capture the traitors, if possible.

                       SAIX
      (Intercom)
And if they refuse to be captured?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Then I'll use what's left of them
to decorate space.
                                                            
Saix laughs on the intercom.
                                                            
SPACE
                                                            
A Nobody Cruiser attaches to the Ragnarok. Just as units are
about to board, a missile blows up the Cruiser.
                                                            
COCKPIT (ENEMY FIGHTER)
                                                            
Xemnas turns to his starboard side. Two Disney carriers
approach.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Incoming! Disney carriers.
                                                            
SPACE
                                                            
The fighters break off and fly towards the Disney Carriers.
Suddenly an entire fleet appears. Fighters begin pouring
out.
                                                            
COCKPIT (ENEMY FIGHTER)
                                                            
                       SAIX
Get the fighters! Evasive

                       XEMNAS
No, you fools. Get the boy. Do not
let them escape.
                                                            
SPACE
                                                            
Xemnas flies into the main force of the carrier and destroys
a handful of it's defense cannons. Saix begins shooting down
fighters, but they are outnumbered.
                                                            
RAGNAROK-COCKPIT
                                                            
                       ROXAS
Focus all of the main power to the
boosters. We can use the Emergency
fuel cells to get us out of here.
                                                            

17.

                       AXEL
Alright. But that means there's no
going back.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
Could have guessed it was a one
way trip. Now get us out of here.
                                                            
Axel grabs the emergency fuel cells and injects them into
the ship. Roxas runs to the back and comforts the boy, who
is screaming. Seconds later, the fuel cells are activated.
                                                            
                       AXEL
      (Intercom)
Hang on to something. Because we
are really going to fly!
                                                            
Axel activates the cells and the Ragnarok soars towards
Disney Castle.

The Ragnarok cuts through many Nobodie fighters because of
the remarkable speed.
                                                            
RAGNAROK-COCKPIT
                                                            
                       ROXAS

We are losing power! We have to
land now or were done for.
                                                            
                       AXEL
      (Intercom)
We don't have enough power to land
near the castle. We'll be smashed
to nothing if we hit the valley of
trees. We have to warp.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
      (Intercom)
The ship can't hold that! If we
jump, we could be pulled to pieces
by the gravity force.
                                                            
                       AXEL
      (Intercom)
It's our only chance. Hang on!

The Ragnarok crashes through the docking bay. Just as it's
about to slam into the nearby lake, it disappears.
                                                            
DESTINY ISLANDS-BEACH
                                                            
After a brief moment, it reappears over an ocean. They slam
through trees and brush. Seconds later, they crash into a
beach.
                                                            
 
EXT. DESTINY ISLANDS - DAY
                                                            
The Ragnarok is in pieces.
                                                            
RAGNAROK-COCKPIT
                                                            
Axel is unconscious. The boy is on the ground, covered by
Roxas. Roxas begins to regain consciousness.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
Oh. My head. Axel!? You okay?
                                                            
                       AXEL
Ahh. Oh, that hurt.
                                                            
Roxas lifts the boy, whose is still unconscious. He lays him
on a chair.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
We made it.
                                                            
                       AXEL
Yeah. Thank you for flying first
class.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
Haha. Well done.
                                                            
Roxas slaps Axel on the right shoulder. Axel shows a painful
expression. Roxas notices a tear on his shoulder.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
Oh. Sorry. Come on. Let's get out
of here and get him somewhere
safe.

Roxas turns and walks out. Axel releases his safety straps
in his chair. He stumbles up and walks to the hatch. They
limp out.
                                                            
DESTINY ISLANDS-BEACH
                                                            
The two boys gaze upon the sandy beaches and clear sky.
                                                            
                       AXEL
Where are we?
                                                            
                       ROXAS
I have no idea.
                                                            
The two begin limping up a sandy hill. The crash site is
still smoking, as they reach the top. Suddenly, they see a
WOMAN.
                                                            
ORCHARD
                                                            
The woman is picking berries.
                                                            
                       AXEL
Who are you?
                                                            
She gets up and recognizes the uniforms as Organization. She
steps back, frightened.
                                                            
                       AXEL
Can you tell us where we are?
                                                            
The woman is silent, scared. She takes a few steps back,
preparing to run.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
      (Calm)
We mean you no harm. I know, you
are afraid of us. I know you know
who we are. I only ask that you
take this child and keep him
hidden. Keep him safe.
                                                            
He slowly walks towards her. After about ten feet, he lays
the boy on the ground. She approaches him and holds him.
                                                            
                       ROXAS
      (Fading)
His name is Sora.
                                                            
Roxas's voice continues to fade out slowly.

INT. CABIN - DAY
                                                            
10 years later...
                                                            
A quick flash of light! A boy sits up, shouting. Another boy
and a girl are sitting up next to his bed. They both look
concerned.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
You okay Sora? You were screaming
in your sleep.
                                                            
SORA is the main hero of the story. He is a sixteen year old
boy who is reckless, honest and brave.
                                                            
Sora stares around the room to get his bearings. Fighter
posters are on one side of the room, with tournament posted
in bold at the top. Three beds are shoved into a one room
cabin, with one window by the sliding door.
                                                            
                       SORA
      (Panting)
I'm okay Kairi. Riku. Bad dream.
                                                            
RIKU is one of Sora's best friends, despite his cocky
attitude.
                                                            
KAIRI is Sora's other best friend, even though she is pure
and sweet she carries a secret.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Well we have to hurry. Your going
to be late.
                                                            
                       SORA
Late?
                                                            
                       KAIRI
Yeah, to the tournament. Your
fighting Seifer remember?
                                                            
Riku pulls one of Sora's legs and Sora falls to the ground.
He gets up, rubbing his head. Riku grabs a silver air board
and gives it to Sora. He grabs the black one.
                                                            

21.

                       SORA
I don't really feel like fighting
today.
                                                            
                       RIKU
It's the championships! Win and we
get to eat for a month.
                                                            
Riku opens a sliding door. The sun glares through the
opening and lights up the room. Kairi grabs her scooter.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
But the tournament is on the other
side of Hollow Bastion.
                                                            
                       RIKU
      (Confident)
Don't worry. We'll just take
shortcuts. Race ya!
                                                            
Riku hops on his board and races down the road.
                                                            
EXT. CABIN
                                                            
Sora closes the door behind them. He gets on his board and
with Kairi, races after Riku.
                                                            
HOLLOW BASTION-SUBURBS
                                                            
Riku pulls up to a street sign, and quickly swings around it
to an alley. Sora and Kairi follow. As they reach the end of
the alley, Riku launches himself on a pipe overhead followed
by Sora. Kairi comes to a halt.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
      (Shouting)
Hey! That's not fair.
                                                            
                       RIKU
      (Joking)
Haha! You snooze, you lose.
                                                            
Kairi turns around and heads back down the alley. Riku
launches himself up to a loading ramp and over to a mile
long down pipe. He stops. Sora lands right next to him.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Now, we'll just run down this pipe
and the tournament ground should
be just passed it. Ready?
                                                            
Sora looks down. Both boys kick their boards into gear and
race down the pipe. After a few moments, they are near the

22.

end of the pipe. Suddenly, a truck ramp is dropped over the
pipe.
                                                            
                       SORA
      (Shouting)
Ramp! Look out!
                                                            
Both boys kick their boards into second gear and launch over
the ramp. They come down hard and get thrown into the
fountain at the end of the pipeline, at the city center
square.
                                                            
CITY CENTER SQUARE
                                                            
                       SORA
Well that was brilliant.
                                                            
Kairi slowly pulls up on her scooter. She looks at the boys,
drenched in the fountain.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
      (Joking)
Haha. You snooze, you lose.
                                                            
Riku pauses for a moment at the joke as they slowly get out
of the fountain. They get their boards and continue to the
tournament grounds.

A ring is at the center of the square. People line up on
houses and walls, chairs and pavement waiting. Two giant
chairs with side seats are centered with the ring.
                                                            
Trumpets roar as citizens begin to stand. An announcer walks
into the center of the ring.
                                                            
                       ANNOUNCER
Ladies and gentlemen. Her royal
highness, Queen Minnie!
                                                            
The people roar with cheers as MINNIE walks in. She steps
forward, as DONALD and GOOFY sit down.
                                                            
GOOFY is the Captain of the Royal guards of Disney Castle
and is one of Mickey's personal friends.
                                                            
DONALD is the royal courts magician and is Mickey's other
friend.

MINNIE is the queen of Disney Castle and acts as a beacon of
hope for the surrounding worlds during her husband Mickey's
absences.
                                                            
                       MINNIE
Thank you all for coming.
Unfortunately my husband the King
was held up by business, so he
will be unable to attend. I hope
this surprising news does not
dishearten the efforts of our
brave warriors fighting today.
Good luck!
                                                            
Cheers echo through the city. Minnie turns and sits down.
The Announcer turns to the crowd.
                                                            
                       ANNOUNCER
      (Shouting)
Ladies and gentlemen. We have seen
many brave warriors come into this

Sora prepares himself for his fight. SEIFER approaches.
                                                            
SEIFER is a powerful, young man and is the rival of Sora and
Riku.
                                                            
                       SEIFER
Hehe. Surprised you showed. Ready
to get your face mauled?
                                                            
Riku puts down his board and marches to Seifer. Sora stops
him. He turns to Seifer.
                                                            
                       SORA
Your the one that's going down
Seifer. Oh and don't worry, you
can cheat all you like.
                                                            

24.

                       SEIFER
Hehe. Smart mouth. I'm really
going to enjoy winning that
keyblade. But I think I'm going to
enjoy bashing your head in more.
Let's go.
                                                            
He turns and snaps his fingers. His posse RAIJIN and FUJIN
turn and walk with him to his corner.
                                                            
RAIJIN and FUJIN are Seifer's inseparable gang and friends.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
What a jerk!
                                                            
Sora gets in the ring. Riku gets up by the ropes and begins
massaging Sora's shoulders.
                                                            
In the crowd, a hooded man stands watching the ring. His
eyes gaze upon Sora and Seifer. He removes his hood. It's
Axel.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE UP

Seifer and his gang get up on the ropes on the opposite
side. The announcer stands in the center. He notices the
fighters, and begins the introductions. He points to Seifer.
                                                            
                       ANNOUNCER
In this corner, he has an
impressive nine and zero record
with nine surrenders. He is the
current undefeated champion.
Ladies and gentlemen, Seifer!
                                                            
Seifer steps out a foot from his corner. He raises a hand to
acknowledge the crowd. The cheers are deafening. He steps
back into his corner, as the announcer points to Sora.
                                                            
                       ANNOUNCER
And in this corner, he also has an
impressive record of nine and zero
with 4 surrenders. He is the
challenger. The undefeated, Sora!
                                                            

25.

The cheers seem louder for Sora. Riku and Kairi also add to
the noise. Sora takes a step out and acknowledges the crowd.
Axel steps forward. His eyes gazing upon Sora.
                                                            
                       ANNOUNCER
Fighters to the center.
                                                            
Fujin takes off Seifer's jacket, as he approaches the
center. Sora is already standing with the announcer.
                                                            
                       ANNOUNCER
Listen up boys. I want a good,
clean fight. Remember this
tournament is mainly for fun. And
try not to embarrass this town in
front of the queen by cheating.
Got it?
                                                            
Both boys nod their heads. They touch fists and walk back to
their corners. They prepare themselves.
                                                            
                       ANNOUNCER
Round one will be hand to hand
combat. Round two will be weapons.
Round three will be all or
nothing!
                                                            
The announcer looks at both fighters, who are ready. He
swipes down his right arm and the fight begins. Seifer comes
charging out of his corner straight at Sora, who dives out
of the way.
                                                            
                       SEIFER
      (Taunting)
Come on, boy. They came to see a
fight. So let's just get your
beating over with.
                                                            
Sora comes rushing at Seifer and spears him to the ground.
He swings, but is blocked. Seifer flips him over his head
and turns and punches Sora in the face. Sora's mouth is
bleeding, but he stands.
                                                            
Seifer comes in swinging, but Sora dodges his shots. He
grabs one of Seifer's arms and flips him over his shoulder
and onto his back hard. He gets on top of him and begins
throwing wild punches, landing only a few.
                                                            
Suddenly, ring! End of the first round. Sora gets off as
Seifer shrugs him off. They both get to their feet and
almost go face to face. Instead they both go to their
corners.
                                                            

26.

                       RIKU
You did good. He knows your here
to fight so he's going to be
bringing the heat now. This round
is weapons so be careful.
                                                            
The announcer signals some officials to begin dropping
padded weapons like ramrods and double-headed bats into the
ring. Both fighters stand.
                                                            
The announcer raises his hand, then drops it. Round two
begins. Seifer walks over to a padded bat and picks it up.
Sora grabs a nearby ramrod.
                                                            
                       SEIFER
This is my favorite round. Too bad
no one has made it to three.
                                                            
Seifer rushes at Sora with the bat and swings wildly. Sora
begins swinging back. Halfway through the round, Seifer
finally swings his bat and catches Sora in his right cheek.
Sora is down.
                                                            
                       RIKU
      (Shouting)
Watch out Sora! Here he comes.
                                                            
Sora quickly looks to see Seifer swinging his bat. Sora just
dodges, as the bat slams on the ring floor. Then Seifer
begins slamming the bat back and forth trying to hit Sora.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
      (Shouting)
Be careful Sora!
                                                            
Sora swings his ramrod and knocks out Seifer's legs and he
falls. Both of them rush to their feet. Seifer is about to
swing a knockout hit on Sora, the bell rings. The round is
over. They both go back to their corners.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Last round buddy. Survive this and
it's dinner for a month.
                                                            
Sora looks up to see Seifer staring back. His eyes are like
flares. He stands. He takes a few steps to the center. Fujin
tries to give him water, but he smacks the bottle from her
hand.
                                                            
                       SORA
      (Panting)
I got a feeling this round is
going to get ugly, Riku.
                                                            

27.

Sora stands. The bell rings and Sora walks towards the
center. Seifer is motionless for a moment, then charges Sora
swinging. Sora blocks his shots and they begin to spar.
                                                            
                       SEIFER
This is getting boring. Let's
spice it up a bit.
                                                            
Seifer drops his bat and grabs Sora by the hair. He pulls on
him and throws him across the center. Sora quickly looks for
his ramrod, but Seifer grabs him and puts him in a headlock.
Sora struggles.
                                                            
                       SEIFER
You come in here and try to beat
me? Like you ever could. So weak.
Look on the bright side, at least
Kairi will finally know a real man
when she sees me.
                                                            
Angered by the remark, Sora pushes off his knee and slams
Seifer on his back. He turns and begins punching repeatedly,
until Seifer grabs his bat and hits Sora across the head.
                                                            
Sora is bleeding and a little dazed, as Seifer gets to his
feet. Seifer hits him repeatedly with the bat. Seifer hits
him in the back of the head. Sora falls down.
                                                            
                       ANNOUNCER
      (Shouting)
Hey! What do you think your doing?
That's cheating!
                                                            
Sora's vision is fuzzy. He notices Seifer lifting the bat.
Sora tries to shield himself as he closes his eyes.
Suddenly, the crowd shouts in horror.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
      (Shouting)
Sora!
                                                            
Slam! A moment passes, as Sora opens his eyes in surprise.
He turns to see a blue keyblade blocking the bat. Seifer is
staring away. Sora turns and sees MICKEY.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
Sora!
                                                            
Mickey takes the bat from Seifer. Kairi and Riku rush into
the ring. They help Sora up, as they all kneel before the
king.
                                                            

28.

                       MICKEY
Seifer you should be ashamed. If
your dream is to join the royal
guard, then you have a long way to
go.
                                                            
Mickey turns to Sora and studies him for a moment.
                                                            
Axel notices Mickey and signals for Nobodies to appear from
the nearby fountain. People begin screaming as the Nobodies
are noticed. Mickey turns to see them coming.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Nobodies! Alert the city. Donald
and Goofy, help me defend the
people.
                                                            
Goofy pulls out his shield and throws it. It launches a few
backwards to the ground. Donald blasts a fireball that turns
a handful to ash.
                                                            
                       SORA
We have to help them.
                                                            
Mickey slashes down a few with his blades. Riku runs up and
tackles a Drone behind Mickey. Mickey turns and notices
Riku. He nods.
                                                            
City soldiers rush into the square and begin fighting the
Drones everywhere.
                                                            
                       SORA
Riku! Behind you.
                                                            
Sora rushes at the Drone and grabs it. Riku turns and helps
him. They slam it on the ring floor. Goofy runs up and slams
his shield on it, exploding it to dust.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Goofy! Get them out of here.
                                                            
Axel teleports in front of them, his chakhrams drawn. Goofy
throws his shield, but Axel deflects it. Riku runs at him,
but Axel brushes him away.
                                                            
                       SORA
We could use some help over here.
                                                            
Axel tries to grab Sora, but Mickey jumps in between them.
Mickey charges at Axel, but he teleports. He reappears on a
hanging sign behind them, as his patrol is annihilated.
                                                            

29.

                       MICKEY
No point resisting. Your the only
one left.
                                                            
                       AXEL
I must confess our gratitude, King
Mickey. Without you, we would have
never found him.
                                                            
Mickey turns to Sora. Axel disappears. Goofy and Donald
approach with some wounded civilians.
                                                            
                       GOOFY
All of the Nobodies are gone. The
people are okay. Some minor
injuries but nothing serious sire.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
What's your name?
                                                            
Everyone turns to Sora.
                                                            
                       SORA
Sora.
                                                            
Donald and Goofy's eyes widen. Mickey pauses for a moment.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
I thank you for your assistance.
Would you and your friends care to
dine with me and my wife tonight
at the castle?
                                                            
                       RIKU
We would be delighted to come,
your highness.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Wonderful. Seeing how Seifer
cheated, I believe this belongs to
you.
                                                            
Mickey picks up the red keyblade from the ring floor. He
hands it to Sora.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
I look forward to tonight.
                                                            
Mickey turns and walks down the courtyard, followed by Goofy
and Donald. Riku walks up with Kairi and they hug Sora, as
he gazes upon the keyblade.
                                                            
 

30.

INT. CABIN - NIGHT
                                                            
Sora and his friends are readying for their dinner
invitation.
                                                            
                       RIKU
This is so cool. We get to eat
with the freaking king!
                                                            
Riku is having trouble fixing his clothes, which are the
same he wore for the tournament.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
I'm nervous. None of us has ever
been to Disney Castle before. It
must be beautiful.
                                                            
Kairi looks over and notices Sora staring out the only
window in the cabin, quiet.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
Are you okay Sora? Your awfully
quiet.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Yeah, buddy. You haven't said a
word since we left the tournament.
                                                            
                       SORA
I'm just thinking.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
About what?
                                                            
                       SORA
About what happened today.
                                                            
Riku finally gives up on his appearance. He walks over and
leans on the sliding door. He folds his arms, relaxing.
                                                            
                       RIKU
I know what you mean. I'm still
shaking.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
I've never seen a battle before.
                                                            
                       SORA
Well if it wasn't for the king, I
wouldn't be here.
                                                            
Riku nods his head.
                                                            

31.

                       SORA
All I know is, I have a lot of
questions to ask.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Well, we better get going or we'll
be late. Course I have no idea how
we are getting there.
                                                            
Sora gets up and meets Kairi by the sliding door. Riku opens
it.
                                                            
HOLLOW BASTION-SUBURBS
                                                            
The three stand in awe as Donald is standing next to the
newly repaired warship Ragnarok.
                                                            
                       DONALD
      (Scratchy)
The king wanted to make sure you
wouldn't be late. So were going in
style.
                                                            
The three walk into the Ragnarok. Donald walks in and closes
the hatch door. They fly off in to the sky.
                                                            
 
INT. DISNEY CASTLE - NIGHT
                                                            
DINING HALL
                                                            
A giant table is centered in the hall. Candles and food
cover the table. Minnie is sitting near the head of the
table. Mickey is standing in front of a giant picture of
him, over looking the hall.
                                                            
                       MINNIE
Is there a reason you invited them
here?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
The Organization was after him.
That can only mean one thing.
                                                            
Goofy walks in.
                                                            
                       GOOFY
Your highness, your guests have
arrived.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Excellent. Send them in.
                                                            

32.

Minnie stands next to Mickey. Goofy opens the hall doors,
and Sora and his friends are standing quietly. Goofy signals
them inside, and they slowly walk up to Mickey and Minnie.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Welcome my friends. And please,
lets skip the formalities.
                                                            
                       MINNIE
Welcome to Disney Castle. I am
grateful that you all are safe.
                                                            
                       SORA
I have your husband to thank for
that, your highness.
                                                            
Mickey smiles.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
I am pleased you all were able to
make it. Please, let us sit and
eat.
                                                            
Mickey pushes in Minnie's chair, as Sora and his friends
take a seat near the head of the table by Mickey. They all
begin eating.
                                                            
DINING TABLE
                                                            
Hours pass, as the plates are emptied. Kairi is telling
stories about Sora and Riku's childhood, which is making
Minnie laugh most of all. Mickey turns to Sora.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
      (Softly)
Would everyone mind excusing me
with Sora and his friends?
                                                            
Donald, Goofy and Minnie get up and walk out. Mickey gets up
from his chair and stands in front of the giant picture.
Sora, Riku, and Kairi quietly follow him with their eyes.
Mickey turns to them.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
What do you know about this war?
                                                            
                       SORA
The Alliance and the Organization
are fighting for Kingdom Hearts.
That's what we have been told
anyway.
                                                            

33.

                       MICKEY
And what of Kingdom Hearts?
                                                            
                       RIKU
That is has the power to create
life or destroy it. But everyone
knows it's just a legend.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Is it?
                                                            
                       KAIRI
Are you saying it's real!? The
stories?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Yes, it is very real. And we fight
the Organization so they do not
possess it.
                                                            
                       SORA
What does this have to do with me?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
What do you know about the
Organization?
                                                            
                       RIKU
That they are incomplete. No
heart, soul. Dangerous. Pure evil.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
They are energy masses brought
together as one. They breathe,
move like us. Intelligent. But,
they lack emotion.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
How do you lack emotion?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
You need a heart to have emotion.
That's why they envy us. Hate us.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Are they like Heartless?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
No one really knows about the
origin of the Organization. I have
battled them for over ten thousand
years and still have yet to grasp
their true abilities.
                                                            

34.

                       SORA
Ten thousand years!? How is that
possible? And what does all this
have to do with me?
                                                            
Mickey pulls out from behind his robes a shiny, glass
necklace in the shape of a heart. Sora gazes upon it.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
This crystal is a fragment from
Kingdom Hearts. It grants life
longevity.
                                                            
Sora sits back in his chair. Mickey puts the necklace away.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Your father was Draxos. He was the
champion of the Alliance and my
personal friend. He died
protecting Kingdom Hearts and all
of us.
                                                            
                       SORA
I've never heard of him.
                                                            
Mickey stares blankly at Sora. Sora stares blankly back.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
The key around your neck is the
proof of this.
                                                            
Sora stares at Mickey, his eyes wide open.
                                                            
                       SORA
My father abandoned me to the will
of the world when I was 5. Left me
at an orphanage to rot with other
unwanted children. Fortunately for
me, I met the two people in the
world I trust my life to.
                                                            
Sora pulls out his heart shaped key necklace.
                                                            
                       SORA
This is all he left me with.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Sora...
                                                            
                       SORA
I thank you for the dinner. But I
don't care for wars that have
nothing to do with me. And I don't
need your charity. And I don't
            (MORE)

35.

                       SORA (cont'd)
want it.
                                                            
Sora puts the necklace away and stands. He turns and starts
to walk out.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Thank you for dinner, your
highness.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
Thank you.
                                                            
Kairi and Riku turn and start to follow Sora out.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Then run. Hide. Like you always
have.
                                                            
Sora stops. Kairi and Riku turn to face Mickey.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
You have the opportunity to do
something great. I can teach you
everything about becoming a
keyblade warrior. You all have the
heart of one. And if you stay in
this castle, you will be fed,
clothed, loved, protected.
                                                            
Sora turns to Mickey.
                                                            
                       SORA
What do you want from me?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
I need your help.
                                                            
Mickey falls to his knees.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Life needs your help.
                                                            
Sora turns away.
                                                            
                       SORA
I'm just a boy. (Pauses.) If I
agree, is there a chance I will
meet the one who killed my father?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
His abilities are well beyond
yours. But eventually, yes.
                                                            

36.

Sora faces Mickey.
                                                            
                       SORA
Deal.
                                                            
                       RIKU
When do we start?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Tomorrow. Morning.
                                                            
Mickey gets to his feet. The boys nod in agreement.
                                                            
 
INT. DISNEY CASTLE - DAY
                                                            
TRAINING ROOM
                                                            
DAY 1
                                                            
Two guards are straightening a practice dummy. A table sits
before Sora, with a silver and a red keyblade resting on it.
Mickey is watching them. He turns to see Sora, stretching in
his new practice robe. Mickey approaches.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Keep stretching like that, and
you'll tear something.
                                                            
Mickey has a laugh, as Sora realizes he is stretching the
robe. He stops. The guards finish. They walk out. Suddenly,
Riku blasts pass the door and nearly runs into Sora before
stopping.
                                                            
                       RIKU
I am so sorry I'm late, your
majesty! You see, I kinda...
                                                            
Mickey suddenly calls out his duel keyblades. Both boys
stare, stunned.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Cool.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Haha. Feel the power of the
keyblade. The source of our power
comes from emotion.
                                                            
                       RIKU
      (Whispering to
       Sora)
This is beginner's right?
                                                            

37.

                       SORA
      (Whispering to
       Riku)
I hope so.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Let's start with calling your
blade.
                                                            
Sora and Riku look towards the table. Sora is standing
before the silver blade and Riku before the red blade. They
both grab the swords.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Dig deep in your heart and choose
your emotion. Release that energy
throughout your body. Make the
blade a part of you. Then release
it back into your hand.
                                                            
Sora and Riku close their eyes to concentrate. Suddenly both
their blades disappear. Mickey stands impressed.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
You both have the powers needed
that's for sure. Now release the
energy back into your hands.
                                                            
Moments pass, and nothing. They open their eyes,
disappointed. Sora closes them again and concentrates even
harder this time. Suddenly we see him start to wobble as if
he is going to faint.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Sora? Sora, can you hear me?
                                                            
Mickey stares, a brief sense of excitement. Sora opens his
eyes slowly and his right hand starts to shake. Suddenly, a
swarm of energy pours out of his hand to form a silver
keyblade.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Well done Sora.
                                                            
A WEEK LATER...
                                                            
Both boys have their blades out. Mickey is standing next to
Sora.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Strike with the power of emotion.
Strike true, or your blade will be
useless.
                                                            

38.

Mickey turns to the dummy, as his blades begin to glow like
fire. He leaps towards and swings his keyblades, chopping
the charred dummy in half.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Attack fierce, but cautiously.
Never leave yourself open for an
evasive move.
                                                            
Sora's turn. His blades glow. He leaps at another dummy and
swings his blades. The impact explodes him backwards and
into Riku. Mickey laughs.
                                                            
WEEKS LATER...
                                                            
Riku is facing Sora. Mickey is showing them defensive
techniques.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Attack!
                                                            
Riku and Sora both swing. Both blades impact. Sora turns and
swings, as Riku turns and dodges. He counterattacks through
the dodge to get his blade near Sora's face. Mickey nods in
approval.
                                                            
WEEKS LATER...
                                                            
Both boys are standing on opposite sides, with Mickey in the
middle. Their blades drawn. Without warning, Sora rushes
Mickey.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Remember emotion.
                                                            
Mickey flips over Sora, as Riku comes in. They spar with
their blades, before Mickey breaks off. He charges at Sora
and spars with him.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Remember to never leave yourself
open for an evasive maneuver.
                                                            
Riku comes charging, as Mickey turns and blocks his blade.
Mickey spins his blades to make Riku fall down. Mickey
charges him, as Sora comes from behind.
                                                            
Mickey swings a blade at Riku. Riku jumps up and steps on
the blade, as Sora kicks the other away. When all are
stopped, we see Mickey with his blades towards the boys, but
both of theirs pointing at his face. It's a draw.
                                                            

39.

                       MICKEY
      (Panting)
Well done. Both of you. You are
ready. You both are now keyblade
warriors. Congratulations.
                                                            
They all dismiss their blades. After a moment of silence,
the boys embrace each other with excitement. Then embrace
Mickey, who shares the excitement.
                                                            
 
INT. DISNEY CASTLE - NIGHT
                                                            
DINING HALL
                                                            
Sora is eating in silence at the table. Mickey approaches.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Good to see you haven't lost your
appetite.
                                                            
Sora looks up. He suddenly stands. Mickey signals hims to
sit down. Mickey walks to his chair and also sits.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
You have done well Sora. You have
come a long way in these past few
months when I first met you.
                                                            
                       SORA
Thank you for the training. And
for everything.
                                                            
Mickey nods.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Yet, through the training I could
still sense some emotion in you
that you hide.
                                                            
                       SORA
What emotion?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Loneliness.
                                                            
Sora stops eating.
                                                            
                       SORA
I have Kairi and Riku.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
But...?
                                                            

40.

                       SORA
I have nightmares about things I
don't remember really. I remember
some of Destiny Islands. But then
I see flames, and I hear
screaming.
                                                            
Mickey gets up and sits on an edge of the table right next
to Sora. He places his right hand on Sora's right shoulder.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
That was your past.
                                                            
                       SORA
It seemed so real. As if it just
happened. And I have nightmares
like them all the time.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
How about this? I'll have Chip and
Dale fly you and your friends to
Destiny Islands for a visit.
                                                            
                       SORA
Really!?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
I do security reports with all the
worlds. To check on any
Organization news. You should go
for me.
                                                            
                       SORA
Thank you, King Mickey.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Don't thank me. You deserve it.
You should leave as soon as
possible.
                                                            
Sora gets up and rushes out.
                                                            
HALLWAY
                                                            
Sora runs down a corridor and notices some guards at the
end, standing in front of a door. Another guard walks up to
them and they all leave. Sora approaches the door.
                                                            
                       SORA
I wonder what's in here.
                                                            
He unlatches it and opens the door. He walks in.
                                                            

41.

SEALED ROOM
                                                            
It is a completely sealed room. A giant stone statue sits at
the center, in front of a stone ramp. Sora begins to
approach, when he is stopped.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
What do you think your doing in
here!?
                                                            
                       SORA
I'm sorry.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Out!
                                                            
Sora walks out, followed by Mickey.
                                                            
HALLWAY
                                                            
Mickey closes the door and latches it back.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
What were you thinking?
                                                            
                       SORA
Who is that? The statue?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Nothing that concerns you! Forget
you even saw anything in that
room. Understand!?
                                                            
                       SORA
But I did see something, your
highness. What was it?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Something dark. Something we hope
is never found.
                                                            
Sora stands silent.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Not a word of this to anyone.
Understood?
                                                            
Sora can see the seriousness in Mickey's eyes. He nods.
Mickey signals for him to leave. Sora walks away. Mickey
nervously stares at the door, quiet.
                                                            
 

42.

INT. DOCKING BAY - DAY
                                                            
Ships line up the docks. One ship is the Ragnarok. CHIP and
DALE finish loading supplies. Sora stands at a nearby
balcony, quiet.
                                                            
CHIP and DALE, despite being chipmunks, are the personal
pilots of the royal family as well as the warship the
Ragnarok.
                                                            
                       CHIP
All supplies and weapons stored,
sir. Ready to take off when your
ready.
                                                            
                       DALE
Yup. We'll be your pilots.
                                                            
Riku nods at the chipmunks. Sora walks over and stands next
to Riku, who is staring at Chip and Dale.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Wait a minute. They are going to
be flying the ship!?
                                                            
Riku points at Chip and Dale.
                                                            
                       RIKU
They're so small.
                                                            
Chip and Dale turn to Riku.
                                                            
                       CHIP
What did you just say!?
                                                            
                       DALE
Are you talking to me? Are you
talking to me, pretty boy? Say
small one more time and you won't
be pretty anymore.
                                                            
Riku turns to Sora, and leans in on his right ear.
                                                            
                       RIKU
      (Whispering)
Pretty touchy for a couple of
rodents, huh?
                                                            
Sora gives a slight giggle.
                                                            
                       CHIP
So now were rodents.
                                                            

43.

Sora turns to his right and notices Kairi standing with
Minnie, Goofy, and Donald. Sora walks over.
                                                            
BACKGROUND
                                                            
                       RIKU
But you are small!
                                                            
                       DALE
You got some nerve man!
                                                            
                       RIKU
You should mine your own
conversations rat.
                                                            
We hear Riku shriek as Chip and Dale jump on him. Equipment
is heard rumbling and hitting the ground.
                                                            
DOCKS
                                                            
                       MINNIE
I hope you all have a safe trip.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
I'm so nervous. It's been years
since we have seen the Islands. I
wonder how much has changed.
                                                            
                       SORA
Honest to say, I've been looking
forward to this for a long time.
                                                            
Donald and Goofy turn to their left and notice Mickey. They
bow their heads. Everyone turns to the direction and notice
Mickey staring at them.
                                                            
                       SORA
Your highness!
                                                            
Everyone turns and bow their heads. Mickey simply nods.
Mickey walks over and stands next to Minnie.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Are you all set?
                                                            
                       SORA
I believe were ready. Right, Chip?
                                                            
Chip and Dale jump off of Riku and land in front of Mickey.
Riku slowly gets to his feet. His hair is messed up and his
shirt is slightly torn around the collar.
                                                            

44.

                       CHIP
Ready to go, sir.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Excellent. Remember, take all the
time you need.
                                                            
Donald and Goofy shake their hands. Then they turn and walk
away. Kairi and Riku bow before Mickey and Minnie, before
turning and walking into the Ragnarok.
                                                            
                       SORA
Are you sure about this? I mean,
me and Riku still have more
training ahead of us.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
You and Riku are ready. A
warrior's true power is his heart
and you two have mighty ones.
                                                            
                       SORA
Thank you, your highness.
                                                            
Mickey reaches out a hand. Sora brushes past it and hugs
Mickey. Surprised, Mickey embraces him. Then Sora turns and
runs into the Ragnarok, stopping at the door.
                                                            
                       DALE
We'll take care of them, sire.
                                                            
The two chipmunks turn and run on all fours back to the
Ragnarok.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
      (Shouting)
Remember! A warrior's true power
is his heart!
                                                            
Mickey slowly raises his hand. Sora raises his, before
closing the ramp. The Ragnarok roars out of the docks, and
out of sight.
                                                            
 
INT. CASTLE OBLIVION - NIGHT
                                                            
NAMINE'S ROOM
                                                            
An almost empty room. A bed is near the rear, and a desk at
the opposite side of the bed. A blond girl is sitting
watching a dying flower. Xemnas walks in.
                                                            

45.

                       NAMINE
Hello, champion.
                                                            
Xemnas stops and turns to face her.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Whispering)
Hello Namine. Nice to see you can
still sense when I'm coming to
visit.
                                                            
NAMINE is a teen girl who can see into the future, but some
visions are uncertain. She is very close to Xemnas, as if
like a little sister.
                                                            
                       NAMINE
It has been a long time since I
had a visit from you, champion.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
True. I rather enjoy our
conversations.
                                                            
Xemnas turns and walks straight to a window. He looks out.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
I need help with something. I know
Sora is at Disney Castle, but I
know he wont stay there for long.
                                                            
                       NAMINE
I know. You seek the chosen one.
                                                            
Xemnas folds his arms.
                                                            
                       NAMINE
Does it bother you that a boy has
eluded your efforts?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Not really. Just slightly
irritating. But rest assured, I
will catch him.
                                                            
                       NAMINE
I know you will. I've seen it.
                                                            
Xemnas turns and faces her.
                                                            
                       NAMINE
Did you know that Mickey trained
him?
                                                            

46.

                       XEMNAS
A warrior now? Glad to see he is
becoming a man. Now tell me, where
is he going?
                                                            
                       NAMINE
He is headed for Destiny Islands.
To discover his past.
                                                            
Xemnas slowly approaches her.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
His past? (pauses) Thank you,
Namine. Like always, your sight
guides my direction.
                                                            
He turns and walks away. Namine stops him at the door.
                                                            
                       NAMINE
Champion. He's not alone.
                                                            
Xemnas turns to her. Then walks out. Namine continues to
watch the dying flower.
                                                            
 
INT. CASTLE OBLIVION - NIGHT
                                                            
THRONE ROOM
                                                            
Saix is standing in front of the throne. Anara approaches
him.
                                                            
                       ANARA
Admiring the chair?
                                                            
                       SAIX
Of course.
                                                            
Saix turns to Anara.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Just wondering what it would be
like to sit in it.
                                                            
                       ANARA
The throne is for the Emperor.
When he returns.
                                                            
                       SAIX
If he returns.
                                                            
                       ANARA
What is that supposed to mean?
                                                            

47.

                       SAIX
It could mean Xemnas shouldn't be
in charge.
                                                            
Saix moves closer to Anara. She stands firm.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Someone else should be.
                                                            
Suddenly, Xemnas approaches.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
What are you talking about?
                                                            
The two turn to him, surprised.
                                                            
                       ANARA
Nothing.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Actually, we were discussing why
we haven't done anything in the
past months.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Like?
                                                            
                       SAIX
We know where the boy is. So why
aren't we trying to capture him?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
You mean invade an enemy without
discovering their weaknesses? How
strategic.
                                                            
                       SAIX
We must act. If this boy is so
important to you, then why let him
go?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Who says I've let him go?
Everything is going how I have
planned it to go. The boy is
headed for Destiny Islands.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Don't forget to bring him back.
                                                            
                       ANARA
Why is he so important?
                                                            

48.

                       XEMNAS
He has grown close to Mickey as I
knew he would. Mickey will do
anything to get him back. So an
exchange for the Emperor.
                                                            
                       SAIX
That's it!? That's the grand
master plan? He'll never give up
the Emperor for some brat.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Then the boy will die! And unless
you can come up with a better
plan, shut it!
                                                            
Saix remains silent. His eyes gazing with hatred upon
Xemnas, who returns the stare.
                                                            
                       ANARA
Do you need any help?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
No. Stand by till I get back. I
won't be long.
                                                            
Xemnas turns and walks away.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Let's hope not.
                                                            
Saix and Anara watch Xemnas walk out.
                                                            
 
INT. RAGNAROK - DAY
                                                            
Chip and Dale are in the cockpit, flying the ship. Riku and
Sora stand over a digital map screen. Kairi is looking out
of the window in the cockpit.
                                                            
COCKPIT
                                                            
                       KAIRI
What's that purple cloud?
                                                            
Chip turns to the starboard side of the ship. He notices the
purple cloud.
                                                            
                       CHIP
That's the Nerubian Vortex.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
What does it do?
                                                            

49.

                       DALE
No one knows much about it.
Reports have indicated that it is
extremely unstable and dangerous,
but it can warp you at speeds
beyond imagination.
                                                            
Kairi stares a little longer, then turns and walks out to
the main deck.
                                                            
MAIN DECK
                                                            
                                         FOCUS ON
                                                            
                       RIKU
According to his majesty's
coordinates, the Islands should be
here.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE UP
                                                            
Riku points on the digital map. Sora nods in agreement. Sora
points on the map, right next to Riku's finger.
                                                            
                       SORA
In between Hollow Bastion and
Olympus Coliseum. We should be
there by now.
                                                            
                       DALE
      (Intercom)
Sora! We have an incoming message
from Disney Castle.
                                                            
Dale rushes back to the digital map. He pushes a few buttons
and a holographic picture of Mickey lights up. Kairi stands
next to Sora.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
      (Hesitant)
I don't know how to say this, but
I thought you should know. Destiny
Islands was attacked recently. We
don't know the casualties or
what's happened.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Attacked!?
                                                            

50.

                       MICKEY
Which means someone knows where
your going. I'll send
reinforcements immediately. Chip.
Dale. Return the ship.
                                                            
                       DALE
Yes sir.
                                                            
                       CHIP
Yes sir.
                                                            
Mickey's image fades. Kairi begins to cry. She grabs Sora.
He holds her.
                                                            
                       CHIP
      (Intercom)
Were here!
                                                            
Sora and his friends turn and rush to the cockpit.
                                                            
                       SORA
Where!?
                                                            
Dale points ahead.
                                                            
                                         FOCUS ON
                                                            
                       CHIP
There, Sora. Destiny Islands.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE UP
                                                            
The planet is cracked. Debris continues to float off and
around it. The planet is falling apart.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE UP
                                                            
                       DALE
      (Bummed)
There's nothing left of it.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE UP
                                                            
                       CHIP
      (Scared)
The Organization really did their
job well this time.
                                                            
They both turn to Sora, who is quiet. His gaze is straight
and clear at the planet.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE UP
                                                            

51.

                       SORA
Take us down, Chip. Were going in.
                                                            
                       DALE
But the king's orders?
                                                            
                       SORA
Take us down, Chip. Now!
                                                            
Chip and Dale hesitate at the demand. Riku and Kairi also
stare at Sora, questioning his motives. After a few moments,
Dale flies the ship towards Destiny Islands.
                                                            
DESTINY ISLANDS-DAY
                                                            
The Ragnarok lands on a charred beach. Debris covers the
ground. The bay door drops down. Sora stands firm, with Riku
and Kairi behind him.
                                                            
                       CHIP
      (Intercom)
We'll wait for you here.
                                                            
                       DALE
If your not back in twenty
minutes, were coming in after ya.
Good luck!
                                                            
Sora hangs up the intercom. They walk out of the bay door.
Sora notices the debris leading down the beach line to an
open area. They follow it down.
                                                            
 
EXT. DESTINY ISLANDS - DAY
                                                            
After some time passes, the three rush down the beach line.
Suddenly, they stop. Sora walks up to the top of the beach
hill and notices the destruction up close.
                                                            
                       SORA
      (Shocked)
What could have done this?
                                                            
Huts are burning. The sand is stained with burns and
charring. The surrounding forests are gone. The sun reveals
the horror openly. Sora kneels and scoops up some sand. Riku
and Kairi creep up behind him.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
      (Crying)
Our home! How could this have
happened?
                                                            

52.

                       RIKU
Let's be careful.
                                                            
Riku's face shows he is heartbroken. He tries his best to
comfort Kairi. Sora gets up and walks over to a nearby hut
that is barely standing. He walks in, followed by Riku and
Kairi.
                                                            
ORPHAN HOME
                                                            
                       SORA
This is Madame Caroline's orphan
house.
                                                            
                       RIKU
We grew up here.
                                                            
Sora walks over to a desk and lightly touches it.
                                                            
                       SORA
      (Teary-eyed)
Were finally home. Home to what?
Ashes. Death. I swear the
Organization will pay dearly for
this.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Sarcastic)
I would have to disagree.
                                                            
Sora quickly turns, followed by Riku and Kairi. Behind them
is Xemnas.
                                                            
                       SORA
      (Shouting)
Who are you!? What do you want!?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Calm)
You don't know me?
                                                            
Sora calls his keyblade and holds it towards Xemnas.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Who are you?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
I am Xemnas. The champion of the
Organization.
                                                            
                       SORA
Organization XIII! You destroyed
this place didn't you?
                                                            

53.

Xemnas takes a step forward, but is halted before he can
take another. Sora's keyblade firm in his hand. Riku calls
his blade and signals Kairi behind him.
                                                            
                       SORA
Don't come any closer.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Careful, Sora.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Calm)
Sora! So your Draxos's son?
                                                            
                       SORA
How did you know him?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Well...I was the one that killed
him.
                                                            
Sora starts to shake slightly, due to all the anger building
up in him.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Why did you attack the Islands!?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
To bring you here.
                                                            
He stares at Sora.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
You have no idea how long I have
been looking for you boy.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
What do you want from us?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
I want him. And that key around
his neck.
                                                            
                       SORA
I would rather die than let you
take this.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Careful Sora, your getting ahead
of yourself. Now give me the key
and I'll spare their lives.
                                                            

54.

                       RIKU
Not a chance.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Have it your way.
                                                            
Xemnas turns and walks out. Sora rushes out after him. Riku
rushes after Sora, followed by Kairi.
                                                            
DESTINY ISLANDS-DAY
                                                            
Xemnas stops and turns around to see the three facing him.
The look in Sora's eyes shows he about to do something
extremely reckless. Xemnas stares at him.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Would you like to know how he died
Sora? The way he was begging for
his life. So weak. It's too bad I
don't have the ability of
laughter, because it was almost
(pause) humorous.
                                                            
Sora suddenly charges at Xemnas. Xemnas calls his blades and
they begin fighting.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Hide Kairi! Quickly!
                                                            
Kairi turns to hide. Riku rushes to Sora's aid. He leaps in
between them just missing Xemnas's head.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Come on Sora. Together we can take
this guy.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Taunting)
Come try!
                                                            
Riku leaps through the air at him. He comes down slashing,
but is kicked backwards. Xemnas moves in on him, when he is
suddenly drop kicked from the back. He turns and sees Sora
ready.
                                                            
Sora comes at him, but he dodges. He grabs Sora by the neck
and spins him around. Sora slams the floor hard, as Riku
jumps at Xemnas again.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Taunting)
Come on, boy. Show me what you
got.
                                                            

55.

Xemnas and Riku duel for a few seconds. Xemnas swirls his
blade around his head and slams it on the ground, causing
Riku to get blown back against a pile of debris.
                                                            
Xemnas turns and begins a sword fight with Sora. Sora begins
to swing wildly, but Xemnas blocks every shot. They break
off.
                                                            
                       RIKU
I expected better from their
self-proclaimed champion.
                                                            
Xemnas turns to see Riku, limping towards them. He still
clings to his blade.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Taunting)
Self-proclaimed? Really.
                                                            
Xemnas charges up his blades. Riku rushes to Sora's side and
they charge Xemnas. Xemnas blasts the floor with his energy,
knocking Sora backwards. Riku jumps through the blast and
kicks Xemnas backwards a distance.
                                                            
Riku struggles to get up after hitting the ground hard. Sora
struggles to get up after taking a majority of the blast.
Xemnas gets up, but is merely short of breathe.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Joking)
I guess I underestimated you boys.
                                                            
Xemnas walks up and rips Sora's shirt to bare his chest. A
stained string is wrapped around Sora's neck. The key
necklace is gone. Xemnas turns to the beach. Chip and Dale
are rushing towards them. He turns to the boys.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Irritated)
Well Sora, time to go.
                                                            
Xemnas grabs Sora, who is still weak. Suddenly, Nobodies
appear with Kairi.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Stop right there Xemnas!
                                                            
Xemnas turns to see Mickey. Chip and Dale are aiming plasma
rifles three times their size.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Much thanks to you mouse. You
brought them right to me.
                                                            

56.

                       MICKEY
You won't get away with this.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
You will have problems of your own
soon enough Mickey. Trust me.
                                                            
They vanish. Mickey hurries to Riku, who is barely
conscious.
                                                            
 
INT. CASTLE OBLIVION - NIGHT
                                                            
WEST TOWER CHAMBER
                                                            
The double doors of the chamber slam open. Anara comes
marching in. Saix stares upon Kingdom Hearts.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Imagine the power this possesses.
                                                            
Anara stops next to him. She gazes upon Kingdom Hearts.
                                                            
                       ANARA
We both have seen it's magnitude.
                                                            
                       SAIX
I meant to have that power for
one's own.
                                                            
                       ANARA
Hopefully not in the wrong hands.
(Pauses.) Are you okay?
                                                            
Saix turns to her.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Just thinking a lot about the
escape. Where do you suppose Axel
was during the whole ordeal?
                                                            
Saix comes in closer. Anara stands firm.
                                                            
                       ANARA
I would imagine he was out
patrolling like everyone else.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Exactly. Assuming he was. What if
he wasn't?
                                                            
                       ANARA
Your jumping to conclusions.
                                                            

57.

Anara turns to walk out. Saix stops her.
                                                            
                       SAIX
I'm merely pointing out the
obvious. He could have been part
of the breakout. Why is it that no
one knew his exact whereabouts?
                                                            
                       ANARA
Then that would assume that I was
part of it since it was on my
watch. Plus, he came back with
bruises on his face. He said he
tried to get the boy back, but
Roxas beat him.
                                                            
Saix smiles.
                                                            
                       SAIX
I would never expect you in such
acts. But that's precisely the
point. Can you remember anytime
that Roxas ever beat Axel in a
duel? (Pauses.) Because I can't.
                                                            
Anara ponders on the thought for a short moment. She
continues walking towards the door.
                                                            
                       ANARA
When Axel told his story to
Xemnas, he believed him. That's
good enough for me.
                                                            
Saix teleports right before the door, directly in front of
Anara.
                                                            
                       SAIX
We both know Axel could have been
lying. Either way why would Xemnas
care? His power is beyond that of
anyone. So of course he wouldn't
take it seriously even if he was.
                                                            
Anara slowly brushes past him and stops between the door
frame. She turns to Saix.
                                                            
                       ANARA
Even if, why would Axel betray the
Organization? Why would he turn on
his own?
                                                            
Anara turns and walks out. Saix looks to Kingdom Hearts. His
eyes still gazing upon it.
                                                            

58.

                       SAIX
      (Whispering to
       himself)
Trust me, I will find out.
                                                            
 
INT. DISNEY CASTLE - NIGHT
                                                            
MICKEY'S CHAMBER
                                                            
A fireplace lights up the room. Above the mantle are
portraits of family and Mickey's younger days. Statues on
either side of the chamber doors. A table at the center,
with documents covering it.
                                                            
Riku sits in a chair in front of the fireplace. The light
glares upon his face. Then the doors open. Mickey walk in.
Minnie is cleaning his wounds.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
How is he?
                                                            
Minnie cuts a thread.
                                                            
                       MINNIE
I'm finished. He'll be fine.
                                                            
Minnie walks out. Goofy walks in with Donald.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
What happened?
                                                            
                       RIKU
We landed without your approval.
Sora found out the truth from
Xemnas. So we fought him.
                                                            
                       GOOFY
What do you suppose he wants with
Sora, sire?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
He wants the key to Kingdom
Hearts. Sora had it.
                                                            
Riku gets up. He faces Mickey.
                                                            
                       RIKU
He had it.
                                                            
They turn to him. Riku pulls out a necklace from under his
shirt.
                                                            

59.

                       MICKEY
The Key!
                                                            
                       RIKU
When you contacted us, Sora and I
decided to switch necklaces just
in case.
                                                            
                       DONALD
That was risky. Were lucky Xemnas
only wanted Sora and not the both
of you.
                                                            
                       RIKU
I was going to trade it to get
them back.
                                                            
                       GOOFY
That's insane!
                                                            
                       RIKU
They are my friends! They are not
expendable. I'm getting them back.
                                                            
Mickey walks up and grabs Riku.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Riku stop! We are going to get
them back.
                                                            
Mickey grabs the key. Riku holds it.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Trust me. We will get them back.
                                                            
Riku loosens his grip. Mickey takes the key and places it
around his neck.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
He didn't need Sora just for the
key, there is another purpose.
Otherwise, he would have ended
them back on the islands.
                                                            
                       DONALD
He had to take them to Castle
Oblivion. And a grand army guards
it.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
We have to find out what he wants
with them.
                                                            

60.

                       GOOFY
We don't have enough men to take
the castle.
                                                            
                       RIKU
We have to come up with something.
Fast.
                                                            
They all look at each other in silence. The fireplace still
lighting the room.
                                                            
 
INT. CASTLE OBLIVION - DAY
                                                            
Xemnas is walking down a corridor, carrying a tray of food.
Anara approaches him.
                                                            
                       ANARA
Xemnas you wanted to see me?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Bring me the girl. Meet me in the
dungeon.
                                                            
Anara nods. Xemnas continues down the corridor.
                                                            
DUNGEON
                                                            
There are numerous cells. Chains hanging from the walls.
Sora sits facing the barred window, looking out. Xemnas
approaches with the tray.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
I brought you some food.
                                                            
Xemnas opens the cell door. He puts the tray behind Sora.
Sora turns around. He kicks the tray, spilling the food.
                                                            
                       SORA
Eat your own poison.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Are you still mad about your
father? I gave him the honor he
deserved.
                                                            
                       SORA
You gave him your blades. Nothing
more.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Your not a master yet, so you
don't understand. A master's dying
wish is for their blade to never
            (MORE)

61.

                       XEMNAS (cont'd)
fall.
                                                            
                       SORA
I'm going to see to it personally,
that yours do.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Where is the Emperor? I know you
know.
                                                            
                       SORA
I'm not telling you anything. You
should just kill me.
                                                            
Xemnas smiles. He walks out of the cell and closes it.
Suddenly Anara approaches with Kairi. Sora stands up.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Where is he?
                                                            
Sora is silent. Xemnas stands in front of Kairi.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Apologies, Kairi. I assumed you
were important to him. I guess
not.
                                                            
Suddenly, Kairi floats off the ground. She grasps at her
throat. She is suffocating. Sora rushes to her, but is cut
off by the bars of his cell.
                                                            
                       SORA
Stop! Let her go.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Better hurry Sora. She looks like
she is running out of air.
                                                            
Sora hesitates. Kairi starts to loosen her grip due to lack
of strength. Her arms drop.
                                                            
                       SORA
He's a statue in Disney Castle! I
don't remember where. He's in
Disney Castle.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Now that wasn't so hard, was it?
                                                            
Xemnas smiles. Kairi hits the floor, gasping for air. Anara
grabs her and throws her in the next cell.
                                                            

62.

                       SORA
      (Whispering)
Kairi...
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Disney Castle. I should have
known.
                                                            
Xemnas and Anara walk out.
                                                            
 
EXT. MALEFICENT'S CASTLE - NIGHT
                                                            
Thunder and lightning sound in the sky. It is dark and
windy. A giant castle sits on a steep stone hill. A castle
fit for an exiled queen of darkness.
                                                            
A hooded warrior appears before the castle. It begins to
rain. He suddenly, disappears.
                                                            
INT. MAIN HALL
                                                            
A throne is seated at the head of the hall. A table is on
the right of it, empty with cobwebs. Candlesticks are not
lit, as gargoyle shaped statues line the hall. MALEFICENT is
at the head of the hall, looking out a window.
                                                            
MALEFICENT is the evil queen from Sleeping Beauty and the
leader of the Heartless (blackened creatures from the realm
of darkness).
                                                            
                       MALEFICENT
      (Shouting)
Pete!
                                                            
PETE comes shooting around the corner to the hall. He rushes
to the head of the throne and kneels before Maleficent.
                                                            
PETE is the Captain of the Heartless and right hand of Queen
Maleficent.
                                                            
                       PETE
Yes, my queen. What do you command
of me?
                                                            
                       MALEFICENT
We must act quickly. The
Organization has returned. And
with Disney on the move, well need
to be cautious.
                                                            
                       PETE
Yes my queen.
                                                            

63.

                       MALEFICENT
A war is coming Pete. We best be
ready for it.
                                                            
Suddenly the hooded warrior appears at the center of the
hall.
                                                            
                       AXEL
I can help you.
                                                            
Pete rushes to his feet as they both turn to face Axel.
                                                            
                       MALEFICENT
      (Demanding)
Who are you!?
                                                            
                       AXEL
It's safer if names are not
mentioned in this conversation.
                                                            
                       PETE
What do you want?
                                                            
                       AXEL
This war could end all life. Might
be wise to choose a side.
                                                            
                       MALEFICENT
I am on my own side, fool. I don't
need your help. Let me show you
why. Heartless!
                                                            
Dark creatures begin to form out from the tile floor. Axel
calls his chakhrams. Heartless begin clawing at him and he
slashes a handful down. He front flips to the table, as the
Heartless rush him.
                                                            
                       PETE
Allow me my queen. I'll get him
for ya.
                                                            
Pete pulls out his gigantic mace from his sheath and swings
it at Axel. He dodges. Pete swings again and smashes the
table in half. Axel jumps over him and cuts his pants down.
Pete desperately attempts to put his pants on.
                                                            
Axel cuts down a few more as Maleficent begins summoning
magic from her wand, aiming it at Axel. He dashes up to a
muscle bound heartless jumps off his back and lands right in
front of Maleficent, his blade near her throat.
                                                            

64.

                       AXEL
I did not come here to fight you.
Only to warn you.
                                                            
Pete notices that Axel is whispering to Maleficent. He
manages to get his pants back on. He rushes up to the head
of the hall, but stops at the throne.
                                                            
                       MALEFICENT
What do you want?
                                                            
                       AXEL
This war is getting worse. It's
best you choose a side.
                                                            
                       MALEFICENT
I will never join Disney or the
Organization. Why join with those
who betrayed me?
                                                            
                       AXEL
You have more enemies in common
with Disney Castle than you think,
queen Maleficent.
                                                            
He calls back his chakhrams. He steps back from Maleficent.
                                                            
                       AXEL
You cannot challenge either alone.
Just something for you to think
about.
                                                            
Axel vanishes. Pete rushes to the queen and kneels before
here. She turns and walks closer to the window, watching the
rain fall.
                                                            
                       PETE
I don't mean to pry, but what was
he whispering to you my queen?
                                                            
                       MALEFICENT
Nothing that concerns me.
                                                            
                       PETE
Hmph! The nerve of him. Wanting us
to side with those despicable
insects.
                                                            
                       MALEFICENT
He's right. We have to choose a
side. If we are to survive this
war, we must make sure we are on
the winning team.
                                                            

65.

                       PETE
But the Organization is growing
stronger by the day, my queen.
                                                            
                       MALEFICENT
Precisely, my dear captain.
                                                            
Maleficent grins as she continues to watch the rain fall.
                                                            
 
INT. COUNCIL ROOM - NIGHT
                                                            
A rectangular table is centered in the room. Maps and
pictures of all the worlds are scattered on it. Saix walks
in. Xemnas and Anara are already looking through the maps.
                                                            
                       SAIX
So I take it we are finally going
to get the Emperor?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Yes.
                                                            
Anara places a map of Hollow Bastion in front of Xemnas. He
looks over it.
                                                            
                       ANARA
There are many defense cannons
placed all over the northern
region. Especially in these
sectors.
                                                            
Anara starts pointing on the map. Xemnas acknowledges the
locations.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Of course. That is the main
entrance to the city. Our fleet
will be crushed.
                                                            
They both turn to Xemnas, who remains calm.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Why are you so calm?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Because I have considered all of
it.
                                                            
                       ANARA
And?
                                                            

66.

                       XEMNAS
I'll take care of it.
                                                            
Saix and Anara looks at each other confused. Marluxia
approaches.
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
You sent for me, champion.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Wait outside. I have something to
discuss with you.
                                                            
Marluxia turns and walks out. Xemnas places the map down. He
turns and walks out.
                                                            
PALACE SQUARE
                                                            
A fountain is at the center of the square. Black water
sprays from the top platform. Marluxia stands next to a
stone bench. Xemnas approaches.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
I am planning an attack on Hollow
Bastion. I want you to lead it.
                                                            
Xemnas walks over to the fountain. He places his right hand
in the water. Marluxia slowly approaches him.
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
I would be honored, my lord.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
I want you to take this MGP. Input
it into the central computer. The
virus implantation will shutdown
their defense program TRON. The
city will then be defenseless.
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
Won't Disney know we are
attacking?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
I will see to it they do. With the
city defenses down, our fleet will
crush them.
                                                            
Xemnas holds a flat disk. Marluxia walks up and takes it.
She places it in her robes.
                                                            

67.

                       XEMNAS
This operation counts on Hollow
Bastion's results. The city must
burn or this will fail.
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
I understand champion. Thank you
for this opportunity. It's about
time I get a real assignment.
                                                            
Xemnas pulls his right hand out of the water and suddenly
turns to her. His speed is so fast, that the water turns to
mist as it reaches her face.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Does your opinion matter!?
                                                            
He walks up to her. She steps back, as his face comes to
hers. He is so close, they could almost kiss.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Do not fail me, Marluxia. Or this
assignment will be your last.
                                                            
He brushes past her.
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
And if I meet resistance?
                                                            
Xemnas stops.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Crush anything in your path.
                                                            
Xemnas walks out. Marluxia turns to the fountain, watching
the water fall in silence.
                                                            
 
INT. DOCKING BAY - DAY
                                                            
Hundreds of transport ships are docked in the port.
Thousands of soldiers load up into them. Mickey and Riku
walk up to the main hangar, where the rest of the team is
meeting.
                                                            
                       DONALD
Your majesty!
                                                            
                       GOOFY
Your majesty!
                                                            

68.

                       MICKEY
Enough of that. Mickey is fine.
Now what is our strategy?
                                                            
                       GOOFY
We gathered that the enemy is
rallying troops to Hollow Bastion
for an attack. Xemnas is supposed
to be there, with Sora and Kairi
for an exchange.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Exchange for what?
                                                            
                       GOOFY
We haven't discovered that yet,
sire.
                                                            
                       RIKU
We can enter through the sewers.
We follow the sewers up to the
refinery. We can sneak into city,
unnoticed.
                                                            
                       DONALD
Can we expect any defenses here?
                                                            
                       GOOFY
Organization patrols. But the
bastion army is obsolete.
                                                            
                       DALE
What about Merlin and his rebels?
His house is in Central Square.
                                                            
Everyone starts to stare at each other. Chip knocks Dale
hard on the head.
                                                            
                       CHIP
Dale, you are so dumb. We are
rescuing Kairi and Sora. Were
trying to avoid a battle.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
A battle is almost inevitable.
Saving Sora and Kairi is priority.
                                                            
                       RIKU
He has a point. Merlin and his
rebels are crucial freedom
fighters. Not even the
Organization knows they exist.
                                                            

69.

                       GOOFY
What if we use Merlin's rebels as
a diversion to rescue Kairi and
Sora?
                                                            
A soldier in cape and helm approaches. His feathered helm
signifies him as a GENERAL.
                                                            
                       GENERAL
Your highness! Preparations are
nearly complete.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Thank you, General. You'll be
leaving with us.
                                                            
Mickey turns to Goofy.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Goofy, you will remain here. Watch
over the castle for me. And
Minnie.
                                                            
                       GOOFY
With my life, sire!
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Thank you, old friend. Everyone to
ship. Time to end this!
                                                            
Riku leads the gang to the Ragnarok. More soldiers pile in.
Mickey is the last to load up. He stands at the closing bay
door. He waves to Goofy, as the ship lifts up and flies off,
followed by the fleet.
                                                            
 
INT. CASTLE OBLIVION - NIGHT
                                                            
HALLWAY
                                                            
Axel is walking down the hall, when Saix approaches.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Good evening, Axel.
                                                            
Axel stops directly. He turns and faces Saix, who is slowly
walking towards him. His arms folded behind his back.
                                                            
                       AXEL
      (Nervous)
Yes, Saix? What do you want?
                                                            
Saix walks slowly up to Axel's face. He smirks.
                                                            

70.

                       SAIX
It must bother you to know your
closest friend betrayed us. What I
don't understand is, you were
nowhere to be seen when he escaped
with the boy.
                                                            
                       AXEL
I have no idea what your talking
about. I was out patrolling like
everyone else. I was the one who
found him. I was the one who
fought him.
                                                            
                       SAIX
But you lost. And yet, even with
the recent events you still seem
to mysteriously disappear whenever
we need you.
                                                            
Saix moves in closer to Axel.
                                                            
                       SAIX
No doubt your a loyal servant of
the Organization, but I will be
watching you. One mistake and not
even Xemnas will be able to save
you.
                                                            
                       AXEL
Is that a threat?
                                                            
                       SAIX
You can count on your life that's
a threat.
                                                            
                       AXEL
I'll keep that in mind. Now run
along boy. I would hate to see
what Xemnas does to you for making
him wait.
                                                            
Saix grins. He turns and walks away.
                                                            
                       AXEL
      (Whispering)
Your not the only one watching.
                                                            
Axel remains still for a slight moment, before continuing
down the hallway.
                                                            

71.

COUNCIL ROOM
                                                            
Xemnas is looking over maps for Hollow Bastion on the center
table. Axel walks in.
                                                            
                       AXEL
You wanted to see me, champion?
                                                            
Xemnas folds the maps. He turns to Axel, leaning on the
table.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
I need you to do something for me.
                                                            
                       AXEL
Anything.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Have Anara bring the kids to
Hollow Bastion. I want her to
execute them before Mickey's very
eyes.
                                                            
                       AXEL
As you wish. But, don't you think
we could use the extra defense?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Against what?
                                                            
                       AXEL
Well, I was just thinking about
Queen Malef...
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
That old hag would never ally with
them.
                                                            
Axel salutes Xemnas. He turns and is stopped at the door.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
You okay?
                                                            
Xemnas gets up and walks towards Axel. Axel turns around and
Xemnas is a few feet from him.
                                                            
                       AXEL
I'm good. Just want to be
cautious.
                                                            
Xemnas stares at him, suspiciously. After a moment, Axel
turns and walks out. Xemnas's eyes follow him out the door.
Still watching him, suspiciously.
                                                            
 

72.

INT. RAGNAROK - NIGHT
                                                            
All of the soldiers are asleep. Donald is sharing a quacking
snore, which is keeping Riku awake. Riku looks across him to
see Mickey awake as well.
                                                            
                       SORA
      (Softly)
Mickey, tell me about The Battle
of Lost Souls. I remember hearing
about it, but I wanted to hear it
from you.
                                                            
Mickey sits up. His blanket covering his shoulders.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
      (Softly)
Ten thousand years ago, I rode
with the Disney Army under Emperor
Cenarion. We engaged his evil
brother Tyranius at the canyon
ruins of the Zeltennia Empire.
                                                            
As Mickey speaks...slowly the room fades back in time to the
battle. We see the armies standing across the field from
each other.
                                                            
                       MICKEY (VO)
Cenarion wanted to protect Kingdom
Hearts from Tyranius, knowing that
he would use it to destroy all
life. Tyranius was a monster.
                                                            
The armies are charging at each other again. Explosions
erupting everywhere. The battle scene in the beginning is
repeating itself.
                                                            
                       MICKEY (vo)
I saw Cenarion fight his brother,
but lost. A masked warrior saved
him, so he could sacrifice himself
to destroy both armies.
                                                            
Cenarion rushes to Kingdom Hearts. Suddenly, everything goes
white. Then Dark. Slowly, the battle fades back to Mickey
and Riku in the Ragnarok.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
By destroying both armies, it was
said he ended the war.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Did you see Sora's father?
                                                            

73.

                       MICKEY
Yes. He was there.
                                                            
Riku sits up, looking delighted by the tale.
                                                            
                       RIKU
I miss my friends.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Don't worry. We'll get them back.
                                                            
                       RIKU
You think Xemnas meant it when he
said they would be there?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
I believe so, but more of as bait.
                                                            
Suddenly Chip shouts on the intercom.
                                                            
                       CHIP
      (Shouting)
Were here, boys. Hollow Bastion!
Get ready back there. We'll only
have a thirty second window for
drop off before were spotted.
                                                            
Mickey shrugs the blanket from his shoulders and along with
everyone else, prepares for drop off.
                                                            
SEWERS
                                                            
Chip flies the ship towards a intersection of sewers. Mickey
opens the side hatch. Gusty winds welcome the party. Mickey
drops a rope and everyone takes turns sliding down.
                                                            
                       CHIP
      (Shouting)
Fifteen seconds!
                                                            
Riku is the last to drop down. The surrounding carriers and
fighters fly off. Seconds after, Organizational fighters
chase after them.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
      (Whispering)
Let's find Merlin quickly.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Follow me.
                                                            
Riku leads the party into the Northern sewer leading towards
the city.
                                                            
 

74.

EXT. HOLLOW BASTION CITY - DAY
                                                            
CITY CENTER SQUARE
                                                            
Riku removes a street grate. He peeps out and looks around.
He gets out and signals for the party to follow. After the
last soldier, Mickey turns and notices the last house with
smoke coming from the chimney.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
That's his house.
                                                            
                       RIKU
How do you know?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Because green smoke gives it away.
Wouldn't you agree?
                                                            
They hurry to the front door. Riku signals for a few
soldiers, as the rest hide amongst the courtyard. Donald
waves his wand over the lock and it unlocks. Mickey rushes
in, followed by everyone.
                                                            
INT. MERLIN'S HOUSE
                                                            
                       RIKU
      (Surprised)
Woah!
                                                            
The room is full of rebels, preparing rifles and sharpening
swords. They all rush to their feet, with weapons pointed at
Mickey and crew. Suddenly, an old man walks in.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Merlin!
                                                            
                       MERLIN
Well aren't you a genius. Now get
in here. And close the door.
                                                            
MERLIN is the leader of the Hollow Bastion freedom fighters
and is a very powerful wizard.
                                                            
The rest of the team walks in. The rebels lower their
weapons. Merlin sits in his chair by the fireplace. A man
closes the door and stands next to Mickey.
                                                            
                       CID
Boss? Your friends with a rat?
                                                            
                       MERLIN
What did you say Pip!?
                                                            

75.

                       CID
Cid, boss. I'll shut up now.
                                                            
CID is Merlin's hot-headed and loud-mouthed assistant.
                                                            
Some rebels get up and step aside. Riku and Mickey walk up
and sit down in front of Merlin. Donald stands next to
Mickey, opposite of Cid by Merlin.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Glad to see the Organization
hasn't found you old friend.
                                                            
                       MERLIN
As if I would go so quietly
Mickey. Now, why are you here?
                                                            
                       RIKU
The Organization took two of my
friends. We were told they are
here.
                                                            
                       MERLIN
Well, they aren't. The only thing
we have seen is more and more
Organization cruisers docking.
                                                            
                       RIKU
What happened to Tron?
                                                            
                       CID
It's still active, but the ships
are out of range. They are setting
a perimeter around the city.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
What is Tron?
                                                            
                       MERLIN
Targeting Radioactive Operations
Nexus. Tower cannons that could
end a fleet in minutes.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Has anyone had any access to the
controls?
                                                            
                       MERLIN
No. Patrols have kept everyone in
their homes. That's why the
streets are getting quieter,
practically making this place a
ghost town.
                                                            

76.

Cid quickly turns to the door. He creeps up to it and
presses his right ear against it. Everyone starts to grab
weapons and prepare themselves.
                                                            
                       CID
I don't hear anything.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Isn't that good news?
                                                            
Merlin walks over to the fireplace and grabs his wand,
standing against the wall. Mickey creeps behind Cid.
                                                            
                       CID
We heard people earlier. Now it's
completely silent out there.
                                                            
                       MERLIN
We will do what we can Mickey. You
have my support.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Thank you, Merlin. Now let's look
for Sora and Kairi.
                                                            
Cid opens the door slowly. Mickey and Riku walk out followed
by Donald and the team.
                                                            
 
EXT. HOLLOW BASTION - DAY
                                                            
CITY CENTER SQUARE
                                                            
Riku and Mickey stare around quietly. Their team is gone.
Merlin walks out. He stands next to Mickey. Riku slowly
walks towards the middle of the courtyard...
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
      (Shouting)
Hold positions!
                                                            
Riku quickly looks up as the dawn light reveals the Archer
Nobodies on every ledge and rooftop, aimed at them. Marluxia
stands on a roof, directly across from Riku. The party
freezes, as Riku faces Marluxia.
                                                            
                       RIKU
      (Shouting)
A trap!
                                                            

77.

                       MARLUXIA
Of course it's a trap, moron. You
really think the Organization
didn't know you were here?
                                                            
                       RIKU
Where are my friends?
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
Running late as it would seem, but
no matter. As long as your here,
the party can get started.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Nothing new to see cowards hiding
in the shadows.
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
Haha. You should have been more
careful. Now don't move.
                                                            
Merlin starts to walk towards Riku.
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
What do you think your doing, old
man? Want to die?
                                                            
Merlin looks up at her.
                                                            
                       MERLIN
Oh. You think me weak because I'm
old? Hmm, how interesting.
                                                            
Merlin slams his wand on the ground, causing a giant bubble
to cover the team. The nobodies fire their arrows, but they
bounce off the bubble. The bubble dissipates, and the rebels
pour out from the house firing rifles at the Nobodies.
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
      (Shouting)
Get them, you fools! They must not
leave the city.
                                                            
Mickey jumps in front of Riku. He twirls his blades causing
a tornado that blocks more arrows and blows the archers from
the rooftops.
                                                            
Bruiser Nobodies begin rushing out from the nearby streets
and alleys. Riku turns and throws his blade like a
boomerang, cutting down many Nobodies.
                                                            

78.

                       RIKU
      (Shouting)
Their behind us!
                                                            
                       DONALD
      (Shouting)
Their everywhere. Be careful, my
King!
                                                            
Donald points his staff and blasts fireballs at some
Bruisers behind Mickey. Mickey turns and slashes his blades
upward, as Bruisers behind Donald get launched into the sky
and out of sight.
                                                            
                       DONALD
Thank you, sire.
                                                            
Mickey turns to see Riku racing past Nobodies, cutting them
down as he moves towards Marluxia. Marluxia readies her
scythe, as Riku approaches her.
                                                            
                       DONALD
Were overwhelmed, my King!
                                                            
Mickey turns and sees the Nobodies rushing at them.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
      (Shouting)
Soldiers! Now!
                                                            
Disney troops rush out from the sewers and inside homes. The
armies clash together.
                                                            
DEFENSE TOWER STAIRWAY
                                                            
Riku cuts down a few more Bruisers. He stops for a moment
and notices Marluxia, waiting for him.
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
      (Mocking)
Come boy. Come make me laugh.
                                                            
Riku rushes her. Marluxia front flips over him and dropkicks
him in the back. Riku hits the ground, flips over and slams
his blade on the ground. Spikes come out of the ground, but
just miss Marluxia.
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
You must do better than that.
Haha..
                                                            
Riku gets up and grips his blades tightly. He concentrates.
Suddenly, his blade glows and blasts energy at Marluxia. She

79.

sails backwards into a chimney, breaking the stone. She gets
up.
                                                            
                       RIKU
      (Mocking)
Oh look. I've cut you. Now whose
laughing?
                                                            
Marluxia turns and rushes up the stairs, followed by Riku.
                                                            
 
INT. CASTLE OBLIVION - NIGHT
                                                            
DUNGEON
                                                            
Sora and Kairi are sleeping in their cells. A bruiser Nobody
approaches with food trays. Kairi wakes up. She turns to the
Bruiser.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
I'm not hungry. Go choke on your
own garbage.
                                                            
It opens the cells. Suddenly, it burst into black dust.
Kairi looks to see a hooded warrior, his chakhram extended.
He puts away his weapon, as Sora wakes up.
                                                            
                       SORA
Who are you?
                                                            
                       AXEL
If you want your freedom, then
come with me.
                                                            
He turns to walk out, but is stopped.
                                                            
                       SORA
Your a Organization member. Why
should we trust you?
                                                            
                       AXEL
You will learn later, that both
our sides are not entirely
different. Now come.
                                                            
Axel runs out. Sora and Kairi are hesitant, but follow him.
                                                            
EXT. DOCKING BAY
                                                            
Sora and Kairi are out of breathe. Axel looks and sees the
ULYSSES (Emperor's personal vessel) is still docked. They
hurry to the ship.
                                                            

80.

INT. ULYSSES COCKPIT
                                                            
                       AXEL
Sit here.
                                                            
He points to the pilot seat. Sora sits down, as Kairi sits
in the navigation chair. Axel begins pushing buttons.
                                                            
                       AXEL
I can't go with you, so I will
autopilot the ship to Disney
Castle. Your friends should be
there.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
You mean Riku? And King Mickey?
                                                            
                       AXEL
Yes. This whole battle is one big
diversion set by Xemnas. He aims
to end the war tonight.
                                                            
                       SORA
But he's one of you. Why are you
helping us?
                                                            
Axel finishes inputting the coordinates. As the booster
engines are coming online, he turns to them. Sora peers, but
can only see his mouth.
                                                            
                       AXEL
Xemnas is my friend. But he is
blinded by the true events of our
time. I have seen what I need to
see and have decided to turn the
tide. Good luck.
                                                            
Axel turns and runs out.
                                                            
EXT. DOCKING BAY
                                                            
Suddenly, Nobodies appear. Axel calls his chakrahms and
begins fighting them. Some of the Bruisers jump on the
Ulysses, but the boosters blast the ship into space. Kairi
watches the bruisers fall off, one by one as they hit orbit.
                                                            
 
EXT. HOLLOW BASTION - DAY
                                                            
INT. DEFENSE TOWER COMPUTER ROOM
                                                            

81.

Marluxia rushes into the room. She notices the main computer
monitor the size of a giant flat screen TV. She rushes to it
and places the disk into the drive.
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
Uploading to mainframe. System
shutdown. Fifteen percent.
                                                            
EXT. HOLLOW BASTION
                                                            
A massive fleet of carriers and fighters begins to move
towards the city. Defense cannons turn and aim at the fleet,
but soon start to shutdown.
                                                            
COURTYARD
                                                            
Mickey looks up as the fleet is slowing moving above him.
The massive fleet shadows the city floor.
                                                            
COMPUTER ROOM
                                                            
Riku crashes through the back window and kicks Marluxia
against the wall. Marluxia charges him and throws her
scythe, which misses Riku.
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
Your too late.
                                                            
Riku turns to the monitor. The percent continues to climb,
now at twenty-eight percent. He reaches for the disk, but
Marluxia retrieves her scythe and rushes at him again.
                                                            
Riku takes his keyblade and throws it at Marluxia. Marluxia
dodges it. She raises her scythe for the killing blow, but
Riku's keyblade returns like a boomerang and knocks the
scythe from Marluxia.
                                                            
Marluxia then grabs Riku by the throat and begins to choke
him. Riku turns and the monitor reads seventy-two percent.
Riku is nearly out of breathe, but focuses his strength to
call his blade and stabs her.
                                                            
                       MARLUXIA
Ugh. It will take more than that
to stop me.
                                                            
Marluxia throws Riku into a computer console. Sparks erupts
from the console. She limps up with her scythe and stands
over Riku triumphant. Riku slowly gets to his knees, his
blade resting in his hand. She raises her scythe, as Riku
quickly lifts his blade and stabs her again.
                                                            

82.

                       MARLUXIA
Ugh! Imposs..ibb..lle...
                                                            
Marluxia falls to her knees. She screams in agony as she
slowly erupts into black smoke. Riku limps to the monitor.
It reads ninety-eight percent. He rips the disk out of the
drive and smashes it on the floor.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Now blow those heartless monsters
from the sky.
                                                            
The mainframe restores itself. The screen inputs coordinates
and alerts.
                                                            
EXT HOLLOW BASTION
                                                            
The fleet begins firing cannons and rockets in the
courtyard. Mickey begins rushing his soldiers out. A rocket
flies right at him, but explodes before it reaches him. He
looks to the towers, and the cannons begin firing on the
fleet.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
      (Shouting)
The cannons are online! Flush out
the Nobodies and drive them out.
The city is ours.
                                                            
Soldiers are still fighting with the Nobodies, but most of
the Nobodies have vanished. The fleet is being torn apart by
the artillery of the cannons, as only a few carriers escape.
Mickey rushes to the computer room.
                                                            
COMPUTER ROOM
                                                            
Riku is sitting by the mainframe computer. Mickey barges in.
He rushes to Riku.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Well done, boy. You saved me and
my soldiers down there.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Did we win?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Yes. We won.
                                                            
Riku turns to the door and notices a masked warrior. Mickey
turns and stands with his blade ready. The masked warrior is
ANSEM THE WISE in disguise.
                                                            

83.

                       ANSEM
Congratulations on your victory,
but this battle is far from over.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
What do you mean?
                                                            
                       ANSEM
This was a diversion Xemnas
planned to lure you and your army
here. The fleet was meant to
annihilate you, but since you
bested his forces the city is
saved.
                                                            
                       RIKU
So what are you saying?
                                                            
                       ANSEM
Do you really think he was going
to be here to deal with you?
                                                            
Mickey and Riku stare at each other, eyes wide in terror.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Then where are my friends? He said
they would be here!
                                                            
                       ANSEM
Let me put it this way, with all
of Disney's champions here with
half the army, wont it be easier
to take the Emperor now?
                                                            
Riku slowly gets to his feet.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Of course. It all makes sense now.
Xemnas planned this from the
start.
                                                            
                       ANSEM
He could have captured Sora
before, but let him go. He knew
Mickey would grow close to him.
Enough for a bargain. But when he
captured Sora, he now had
knowledge of the Emperor's
whereabouts.
                                                            
                       RIKU
That's why Xemnas wanted Sora. He
knew we would come for him.
                                                            

84.

                       MICKEY
So the real fight is at Disney
Castle. But it's too far. We'll
never get there in time.
                                                            
                       ANSEM
Take the Nerubian Vortex. You will
travel ten thousand times the
annual speed. Your two day trip
will take minutes.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
But it's entirely unstable. We
could be killed.
                                                            
                       RIKU
No more than our friends back
home, highness.
                                                            
                       ANSEM
Rest assured, your friends will be
there.
                                                            
Mickey turns to Riku. The warrior turns to walk away, but is
stopped.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Who are you?
                                                            
The warrior turns to face them.
                                                            
                       ANSEM
My identity is not important at
this time. But you could call me a
friend.
                                                            
He turns and vanishes. Mickey helps Riku to his feet and
they hurry out.
                                                            
COURTYARD
                                                            
Carriers swarm the courtyard, picking up soldiers. The
Ragnarok is filling with soldiers. Riku is carried inside by
Donald. Merlin and his rebels also rush in. Mickey closes
the hatch. The Disney fleet rushes out into space.
                                                            
 
EXT. DISNEY CASTLE - NIGHT
                                                            
Soldiers line up on the outer walls. Riflemen and mortar
teams are in the courtyard. Knights and footmen cover the
grounds. Minnie stands near an inner wall, watching the
soldiers.
                                                            

85.

                       MINNIE
      (Whispering to
       herself)
Everything looks good so far.
                                                            
Goofy walks up with some officers.
                                                            
                       GOOFY
I have placed rifles at every
corner of the castle. Knights are
on standby. We are ready should
they attack.
                                                            
                       MINNIE
Excellent, Goofy. I just want to
be prepared when the Organization
shows up.
                                                            
                       GOOFY
What makes you think they will
attack here, your majesty?
                                                            
                       MINNIE
With my husband gone and half the
army...I would.
                                                            
Goofy bows. He turns and runs down the nearest stairway to
the courtyard. He begins lining up the knights in formation.
Minnie continues to look on.
                                                            
                       GUARD
      (Shouting)
Company! We've got company. North
Wall!
                                                            
Minnie looks at the North tower, then behind her. She sees
torches being lit. They line as long as miles. Tens of
thousands. She slowly walks to the ledge.
                                                            
                       MINNIE
      (Whispering)
Kingdom Hearts protect us. Mickey
where are you?
                                                            
OUTSKIRT OF DISNEY CASTLE
                                                            
Torches continue to light up. Ahead of the lights we see
XIGBAR. He stands firm, when Saix suddenly appears behind
him.
                                                            
XIGBAR is a weapons specialist who uses a crossbow that
shoots multiple arrows and is extremely confident.
                                                            

86.

                       SAIX
Everything prepared?
                                                            
                       XIGBAR
Yes, my lord.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Good. We attack soon.
                                                            
Saix turns and walks over to Xemnas. He is overlooking the
surrounding ground in front of the castle.
                                                            
                       SAIX
We are ready.
                                                            
Xemnas crosses his arms.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Send in the Sorcerers first, then
the Berserkers. Keep the snipers
back here for cover.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Shouldn't we send berserkers
first. Their strength is needed to
take the wall. They are ground
fighters.
                                                            
Siax turns to toward Xigbar, but Xemnas stops him.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Saix, you have no strategy.
                                                            
Saix turns to Xemnas. Xemnas turns and walks right up to
him.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Sorcerers use anti blocks. That is
the source of their defense. Which
means that only physical attacks
can kill them.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Their sharpshooters and riflemen
will hold off most of the
berserkers.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Concentrate our snipers on the
riflemen and send the dusks behind
them to crush the line. This war
ends tonight.
                                                            

87.

                       SAIX
Are you sure you want to do this?
We will lose many.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Just draw their attention for a
while. I'm going straight for the
emperor.
                                                            
Xemnas turns back to the castle. Xigbar salutes Xemnas. He
turns and walks away. Saix remains behind him.
                                                            
                       SAIX
Well do this your way. But if you
screw this up...
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
I think you forget who your
talking to.
                                                            
Saix is silent. He salutes Xemnas as well, before walking
away. Xemnas glares on the castle, eager for the battle to
begin.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Shouting)
Begin firing!
                                                            
Berserkers begin loading up catapults with giant jars filled
with oil. Once loaded, dusks light them and they fire on the
castle.
                                                            
NORTHERN WALL
                                                            
                                         CLOSE UP
                                                            
                       MINNIE
      (Whispering)
Oh Dear! Mickey, where are you?
                                                            
Minnie stares helplessly at the incoming bombs. A mile long
line of fiery objects reflect in her eyes, as they fall
closer and closer.
                                                            
 
INT. RAGNAROK - NIGHT
                                                            
COCKPIT
                                                            
Riku is sitting quietly, watching Mickey. He is silent.
Donald and Merlin also watch him.
                                                            

88.

                       RIKU
I'm sure she's fine Mickey. The
queen is tough. She can handle
herself.
                                                            
                       DONALD
      (Scratchy)
He's right, your majesty. The
queen is a skilled archer.
                                                            
                       MERLIN
That won't be enough against the
army Xemnas is commanding I'll
bet.
                                                            
Donald and Riku look at Merlin, frowning.
                                                            
                       MERLIN
What?...Oh. Sorry.
                                                            
Riku gets up and kneels by Mickey.
                                                            
                       RIKU
      (Whispering)
Mickey. Say something. The men
need encouragement and your the
only one here that can lead us.
                                                            
After a few seconds of silence, Riku gets up and turns. He
takes a few steps, when Mickey finally speaks.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
It's Sora. He is the one meant to
lead us. He is the champion of the
light.
                                                            
Everyone turns to Mickey.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Sora?
                                                            
Suddenly, the lights begin to flash. Emergency sirens come
on. Everyone begins looking around, frantically.
                                                            
                       CHIP
We have reached the Nerubian
vortex, highness!
                                                            
Everyone gets up and looks out the cockpit shield. The
Nerubian Vortex is a massive, purple spinning typhoon.
Lightning shocks are reflecting off the surrounding walls.

through.
                                                            
                       DALE
      (Intercom)
Everyone hang on to something.
This ride is going to get a little
rough.
                                                            
Everyone rushes to nearby seats. They strap themselves in.
Dale begins pushing buttons, and the boosters come on. Chip
grabs the stick, and flies the ship into the vortex.
                                                            
EXT. NERUBIAN VORTEX
                                                            
The fleet gets sucked into the vortex. The lightning shocks

Balance us out Dale. We need more
thrust on the starboard engines.
                                                            
                       DALE
Engines showing a thirty-two
percent decline in power. The
vortex is messing with the
instruments.
                                                            
                       RIKU
So what does that mean? Should we
be worried?
                                                            
                       DALE
Yes! Because were practically
flying blind.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Just hold us straight. Dale, give
the engines all the power we can
spare. We have to get back now.
                                                            
Dale begins pushing buttons again. Chip struggles, but is
holding the ship steady.
                                                            
EXT. NERUBIAN VORTEX
                                                            
The Ragnarok's boosters come online and the ship roars
through. The fleet follows, as a few ships lose control and
are destroyed in the walls of the vortex.

Sora is asleep in the pilot seat. Kairi is watching the
navigation screen. The meter continues to circle clockwise.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
Sora! Wake up!
                                                            
Sora wakes up. Kairi points out the window into space. Sora
looks into the distance and notices a massive spread of
shining lights.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
Look at all those stars.
                                                            
                       SORA
I don't think those are stars
Kairi.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
Why not?
                                                            
Sora looks a little closer and harder. The shining lights
begin to move.
                                                            
                       SORA
When do stars move like that?
                                                            
Kairi looks closer, as some lights start to look closer.
Suddenly, they are moving towards the ship.
                                                            
                       SORA
By the Gods! Those aren't stars.
Their ships.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
Maybe it's the Disney fleet?
                                                            
                       SORA
Doubt it.
                                                            
EXT. DISNEY PROVINCE
                                                            
Nobodie Fighters escort a transport ship towards the

                       KAIRI

                       SORA
Stay still and be quiet.
                                                            
EXT. DISNEY PROVINCE
                                                            
The blue beam finishes it's scan. It turns and begins flying
away. The fighters surround the ship. They fan out into
attack positions.
                                                            
INT. ULYSSES COCKPIT
                                                            
The navigation meter begins to flash red. Sora rushes to it.
It flashes "ATTACK INCOMING" repeatedly.
                                                            
                       SORA
They are going to attack!
                                                            
                       KAIRI
What do we do?
                                                            
Sora is quiet. He stares at Kairi, as shes stares back. Both
accepting that there is no escape.
                                                            
EXT. DISNEY PROVINCE
                                                            
The fighters prepare missiles. Suddenly a missile explodes
one of the fighters. The other fighters turn to the
direction it came from and see the Disney fleet, led by the
Ragnarok.

The fleet is moving towards us.
This battle is going to get real
ugly soon. Dale, I need you on the
guns.
                                                            
Dale nods. He gets up and runs over to the gunnery station.
He puts on a helmet and mechanical gloves and grabs hold of
the control stick. He begins to move it. Riku turns and can
see the guns moving on the outside.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Just asking. Do you know how to
use those things?

Nope. First time.
                                                            
Riku and Mickey share a nervous glance.

Dale! Now!
                                                            
Dale presses the buttons on the control stick. Having forgot
to strap himself in, he begins to bounce all over the chair
as he can't handle the thrust from the controls.
                                                            
                       DALE
Woohoo! Ahahaha!
                                                            
Dale is still holding onto the control stick as he is
bouncing like a basketball on a court.
                                                            
EXT. DISNEY PROVINCE
                                                            
The guns tear the fighters to pieces. The Ragnarok roars
closer to the Ulysses, as carriers begin to surround it. The

Disney and Organizations ships are being destroyed all over.

Sora rushes to the pilot seat. He begins pushing buttons.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
You know what your doing?
                                                            
                       SORA
No. But I would hate to stick
around to see what they want to.
                                                            
Sora points out the window at the surrounding NOBODIE
carriers.
                                                            
                       SORA
Here goes nothing.
                                                            
Sora pushes down on the control stick and the Ulysses roars
downward.
                                                            
EXT. DISNEY PROVINCE
                                                            
Warships chase after them, followed by the Ragnarok and a
handful of Disney fighters. They pass into Disney airspace,
as the warships engage the Disney fighters.
                                                            
One warship locks onto the Ulysses and fires a missile. It
hits one of the engines. The other engines backfire and
start to short out. The Ulysses stops in a dead float, and
begins to tilt forward in a downward position.

INT. ULYSSES COCKPIT
                                                            
Sora and Kairi fall forward and slam against the glass
window. It starts to crack. Sora gets up and grabs hold of
one of the chairs. He grabs Kairi's hand as the glass
breaks. She is dangling over thousands of feet of clear sky.
                                                            
EXT. DISNEY PROVINCE
                                                            
Chip flies the Ragnarok to the Ulysses. Riku ties a safety
harness to his waist, as Mickey randomly jumps out. Nearby
NOBODIE fighters race towards the Ragnarok.
                                                            
The chair breaks, and they fall down a little, before Sora
grabs a nearby cord. They are now hanging clearly out of the
Ulysses.
                                                            
                       SORA
Hang on Kairi!
                                                            
Sora turns to his left and sees two Organization fighters
coming towards them. He looks to Kairi.
                                                            
                       SORA
I'm sorry Kairi.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
Sora. Before we die, I want to
tell you something.
                                                            
She turns to the incoming ships.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
I...
                                                            
Sora turns to the closest ship as it gets closer. Suddenly,
Mickey slams on top of the cockpit smashing it to pieces. He
leaps off and slashes the other fighter in two. He lands on
the Ulysses and uses his keyblade to cut out a hole in the
roof.
                                                            
                       SORA
Mickey!
                                                            
Riku drops down from his harness and grabs Kairi.
                                                            
                       RIKU
I got Kairi, Sora. Go with Mickey.
                                                            
Sora lets her go to Riku. The Ragnarok begins extracting
them back. Mickey pulls Sora up. Sora hugs him. He leads
Sora back to the controls.

Mickey rushes over to a control panel and begins pushing
buttons. Mickey and Sora strap themselves to nearby seats.
Power is shutting down and the Ulysses begins to free fall.
                                                            
                       SORA
So whats the plan?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
To get to Disney Castle as soon as
possible. This is the only way.
                                                            
They both hold onto the straps, as they continue to free
fall towards the castle. The Disney fleet follows, as the
Organization fleet chases.

Goofy directs some riflemen to the wall. He throws his
shield, destroying several sorcerers. The riflemen begin
firing at the incoming berserkers. Half a wave of berserkers
drop by the bullets, as they near the wall.

Saix reappears at the base of the wall. He drop kicks it. A
rupture sails down the wall, causing it to bend and bow.
Soldiers are knocked off and crushed by the debris.
                                                            
Xigbar appears behind the riflemen. He slashes down a few.
Then jumps backwards and fires his crossbow to drop several
more.

He reappears in the courtyard of the castle. Soldiers charge
him, but he shields himself. He blasts his shield outward
causing a massive shock wave that knocks everyone from him.
He walks up and opens a double sided door leading into the
castle.
                                                            
All the Nobodies charge the castle. The sorcerers hover in
and begin blasting ice shards and fireballs. Berserkers bust
in from the damaged wall and slam against the knights.

Goofy leads some knights to the main gate, where the

throws it, cutting down many berserkers. The knights charge
in from the side and flank the Berserkers.

Minnie leads a squad of riflemen to a portion of the wall,
that is damaged but still holding.

Go for the sorcerers. They are
anti magic defensive. Bring them
down first.
                                                            
The riflemen fire into the crowd, dropping many sorcerers.
The riflemen begin to drop, as enemy snipers begin firing.
Minnie continues to drive back the sorcerers from her
portion of the wall.
                                                            
Minnie fires a few arrows and reaches for more, but is out.
A berserker rushes her. She pulls a knife and leaps up on
it's back as it brushes past her. She stabs it in the neck
and flips off as it hits the ground dead.
                                                            
Minnie retreats.

Xemnas turns down another hallway. He notices guards
standing in front of a door. They ready their spears. He
slowly approaches them, then disappears. Suddenly he appears
in front of them and slashes them all down. He unlatches the
door and opens it. He walks in.
                                                            
SEALED ROOM
                                                            
Xemnas looks around the room. He notices the stone statue at
the center. The torches barely lit. The ground is almost too
black to see. He stands firm, concentrating. Suddenly the
torches burn bright and light up the room.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Whispering)
Now what traps have you prepared
rat?
                                                            
He steps forward. Arrows shoot out by the hundreds at him.
He shields himself as they shattered to ashes by his shield.
Another step. A giant boulder falls from atop him, he
punches it and it crumbles to pieces.
                                                            
Another step. A contraption from the floor shoots out
flames. He bends the flames around him and dissolves them
into the air. Another step. Nothing. He is in front of the
statue. He calls his blades.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
At last, we have found you master.
After ten thousand years, you
shall rise and rule again.
                                                            
He slams his blades upon the stone. It begins to crack. Then
crack more. Soon half the stone shatters off his body. His
fingers begin to bend. His head turns slightly. His eyes
open.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Welcome back master.
                                                            
Tyranius stretches his arms and legs, as he roars with power
from his stone tomb. He falls to his knees due to his
weakness from sleep. He looks up to see Xemnas kneeling.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
My champion. Is it really you?
                                                            
Xemnas stands.
                                                            

98.

                       XEMNAS
Yes master. I have freed you from
your prison. I apologize that it
has taken so long.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
How long?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Over ten thousand years.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
Where are we?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Disney Castle, master. We are in
the middle of a battle.
                                                            
He continues to study his hands and body, relieved of his
recent freedom. Xemnas helps him to his feet. Tyranius calls
his blades and takes a moment admiring them.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
It is time for my revenge.
                                                            
He slowly staggers forth for a second, still struggling with
his recent weakness.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
You have been asleep for too long
master. Your powers will take some
time to recover. Let me take
revenge for you.
                                                            
Tyranius nods.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
Your right, champion. Destroy
everything.
                                                            
Xemnas turns and walks out. Tyranius concentrates what power
he has and roars out of the room through the ceiling.
                                                            
EXT. DISNEY CASTLE
                                                            
Tyranius explodes out of the castle. He hovers for a moment

Goofy! Oh goofy. Are you alright?

injury. The guards and knights begin to fall back to the
inner castle. The battle seems lost.

                       SORA
Now what?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Keep us steady. When we are close

Sora takes a cable and begins to tie off the stick. Mickey

escape out of the hole in the roof.

How do we get off?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
We jump.
                                                            
Sora looks down at a couple hundred feet of air to the
ground.
                                                            
                       SORA
      (Shouting)
Are you crazy!?
                                                            
Suddenly Mickey runs and jumps off the Ulysses. Sora rushes
to the edge and watches him free fall to the Southern wall.
                                                            
SOUTHERN WALL
                                                            
Mickey calls his blades as he glides down and slams them
upon impact. Nobodies in the hundreds are launched from his
feet. He begins cutting down everything around him as he
makes his way to the courtyard.
                                                            
EXT. ULYSSES
                                                            
Sora watches as the ship gets closer to the first carrier.
He calls his blade and jams it into the Ulysses. He holds on
as it slams through the carrier's engines. The carrier nose
dives to the ground and explodes.
                                                            
The Ulysses soars and slams through the second carrier. It
nose dives and crashes into a few organization fighters
before exploding.
                                                            
Sora gets up and pulls his blade. The Ulysses is near the
third carrier. Sora takes a step back, then runs towards the
edge. He jumps onto the carrier as, the Ulysses slams into
it. The Ulysses explodes and blows the carrier in two.
                                                            
Sora rushes down the front half of the ship as it begins to
nose dive towards the courtyard. He slams his blade into the
ship and holds on for life. The ship is about forty feet

Xigbar comes down, ready to fire arrows at a helpless Minnie
and Goofy. Suddenly, he is kicked in the back. He turns and
sees Sora standing with his blade ready.
                                                            
COURTYARD
                                                            
Xemnas runs out of the double doors. He notices the Disney
fleet above. The troops emptying into the courtyard. He
looks beyond a battle in the courtyard and finds Mickey.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Whispering)
There you are, rodent.
                                                            
He notices a carrier approaching. His vanishes. He reappears
in front of the carrier. He calls his blades and begins to
spin like a wheel. His blades turn into fiery whips, and he
has become a fiery chainsaw. He slices right through the
carrier, causing it to split in two.
                                                            
He lands as softly as a feather. The carrier halves slam
against the castle, causing massive explosions. Mickey turns
and sees Xemnas. Xemnas approaches him.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Let's finish this!
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Let's.
                                                            
Their blades slam against one another. They break off. They
duel for a moment, then Xemnas spin kicks him into a stone
pillar. Mickey gets up.
                                                            
Mickey and Xemnas charge each other. They leap and their
swords meet. The clash blows them both back to the ground.
They get up and begin sword fighting.
                                                            
Xemnas kicks Mickey into a stone wall. He slashes ice shards
at him, but Mickey returns lightning shocks. The powers
collide and dissolve. They charge again and their swords
meet.
                                                            
                                         CUT TO
                                                            

102.

INNER WALL
                                                            
Xigbar stares at Sora, fiercely. Suddenly, Riku and Donald
rush to him from behind.
                                                            
                       RIKU
We've got your back, Sora.
                                                            
The three begin to walk towards Xigbar, who begins to step
back. Suddenly, Saix appears in front of them.
                                                            
                       SAIX
This time, you will not escape me
boy.
                                                            
                       RIKU
I'll take the big guy.
                                                            
                       SORA
Donald, I'm going to need your
help with the other.
                                                            
They nod in agreement. They charge towards Xigbar and Saix.
Saix teleports as Donald fires a fireball at him. Xigbar is
surprised by a roundhouse kick to the face by Riku.
                                                            
Sora turns around to see Saix behind him and Donald. He
smacks Donald into a stone wall, rendering him unconscious.
Saix turns into a kick in the stomach by Sora. They sword
fight.
                                                            
                                         CUT TO
                                                            
Xigbar gets up and turns to see Riku standing in front of
him, with his sword drawn. Xigbar points his gunblades and
fires spear tips at Riku.
                                                            
Riku leaps over them and lands next to Xigbar. Xigbar swings
his blades, but misses Riku. Riku begins to sword fight with
Xigbar, but Xigbar's strength overpowers Riku and Xigbar
slams him to the ground.
                                                            
Xigbar points one of his gunblades, but Riku kicks him in
the face. Suddenly an explosion erupts behind Riku,
launching him into a nearby window with glass shattering
around him.
                                                            
Xigbar walks up slowly. Riku struggles to get up. He notices
Xigbar approaching and a large piece of glass next to him.
Xigbar stops right in front of Riku with his gunblades
drawn.
                                                            

103.

                       XIGBAR
      (Laughing)
Nothing more expected of a brat.
                                                            
Xigbar fires his spear tips. Riku quickly grabs the piece of
glass and lifts up to cover himself from the tips. They
reflect off the glass and into Xigbar.
                                                            
                       XIGBAR
      (Huffing)
Ugh!
                                                            
Numerous spear tips are seen all over Xigbar's body. He
drops to his knees. Black smoke begins to fill around him.
Riku approaches him, slowly and still grasping his stomach.
                                                            
Black smoke gets thicker around Xigbar as he dissolves into
dust. Riku looks over and sees Donald unconscious and Sora
in need of help.
                                                            
                                         CUT TO
                                                            
COURTYARD
                                                            
Mickey is thrown to the ground. He is bleeding. He gets up
and double kicks Xemnas as he walks up. They sword fight.
Mickey kicks up dirt in Xemnas's face, as he runs to the
southern wall of the castle.
                                                            
After clearing his face, Xemnas chasing Mickey. They leap
from portion to portion up the wall. Mickey lands on a roof
portion of the surrounding courtyard, waiting for Xemnas.
                                                            
Seconds pass, when suddenly Xemnas launches over the roof.
Mickey blasts a lightning bolt at him, but misses. Xemnas
spins his blades rapidly, causing a rain of fire down on
Mickey, who dodges it. They sword fight again.
                                                            
Xemnas blows fire in Mickey's face, blinding him. Xemnas
kicks him to the ground hard. Mickey swings his blade,
causing a small tornado to lift Xemnas up about 30 feet and
drops him hard to the ground.
                                                            
Mickey rushes to the ledge and dives off, followed by
Xemnas. They slam against the stone and begin fighting.
Their swords clash as they continue to slide down the stone,
causing giant crevice lines.
                                                            
When they near the bottom, they leap off. They slide as they
land on their feet, waiting. In the background we see the
entire high wall crumble in seconds. They charge each other
again.

INT. CASTLE OBLIVION - NIGHT
                                                            
THRONE ROOM BALCONY
                                                            
Anara is looking out at the city. DEMYX walks up. His guitar
hanging over his shoulders and down his back.
                                                            
DEMYX is a careless member, who carries a gigantic guitar
that can also be used as a sword.
                                                            
                       DEMYX
Yo. Something on your mind?
                                                            
                       ANARA
Pitying myself, that I have to be
stuck here with you.
                                                            
                       DEMYX
Ouch!
                                                            
Demyx walks over to the edge. He pulls his guitar in front
of him. Anara turns to him.
                                                            
                       ANARA
Your not going to play that stupid
thing, are you?
                                                            
Lightning crackles a distance away.
                                                            
                       DEMYX
How about some victory tunes?
                                                            
Demyx starts to play a soft melody. Suddenly his hand ties
up upon the chords, as Axel approaches.
                                                            
                       AXEL
If I wanted to attack with an army
and I was looking for a vulnerable
spot, this would be my
opportunity.
                                                            
They both turn and stare at Axel.
                                                            
                       DEMYX
What fool would dare challenge us?
                                                            
                       AXEL
Mickey maybe fighting for his life
against Xemnas. But Queen
Maleficent must not be
underestimated.
                                                            

105.

                       ANARA
As if she could oppose us.
                                                            
                       AXEL
Still, it is our responsibility to
defend the castle. So act like it.
                                                            
Axel walks over to the edge. He looks out into the distance.
He focuses on something. Demyx is tuning his strings. Anara
walks up to Axel.
                                                            
                       ANARA
What are you looking at?
                                                            
Before Demyx can pull one string, Axel turns and grabs him
to the floor. They roll out of the way, as a fireball blasts
right past them. Axel rushes to his feet.
                                                            
                       AXEL
      (Shouting)
Summon the guards! Members to
stations. We are under attack!
                                                            
                       DEMYX
      (Shaken)
What was that?
                                                            
                       ANARA
Battle stations!
                                                            
Axel rushes to the edge, to see Maleficent's army
mobilizing. He turns and is ambushed by Heartless. He calls
his chakhrams and cuts down a few.
                                                            
                       DEMYX
Heartless!
                                                            
Heartless rush over the edge, towards Demyx. He faces his
guitar towards them and jams the strings. A shock wave
erupts towards the Heartless and blows them off the balcony.
                                                            
                       AXEL
Cover me! I have to get to Kingdom
Hearts.
                                                            
Nobodies begin appearing and fighting. Demyx begins swinging
his guitar at Heartless. Anara cuts down a few, clearing a
way for Axel to get out.
                                                            
THRONE ROOM
                                                            

106.

Axel reaches the throne, but a giant muscle bound Heartless
appears. It grabs him by the arm and flings him about twenty
feet. It jumps down and rushes him.
                                                            
Axel leaps off it's head and swings one of his chakhrams and
cuts its arm. The gash suddenly heals. It comes at him,
swinging wildly, but Axel dodges. He slams his blades
together causing the giant to be blasted away from him.
                                                            
As it gets up, Axel leaps to kick it. It grabs his leg and
throws him onto the ground. It rushes him. Axel back flips
as it reaches him and he slashes it from behind. The
Heartless vanishes to dust.
                                                            
He catches his breathe for a moment. Then rushes out of the
throne room.
                                                            
BALCONY
                                                            
Anara and Demyx are still fighting an endless horde of
Heartless. Demyx jumps onto the edge and slams on his
guitar. Heartless on the balcony and nearby get blown off,
as the army below is blown off their feet from the blast.
                                                            
WEST TOWER CHAMBER
                                                            
Axel slams open the double doors. A masked warrior stands in
front of Kingdom Hearts. He takes off his mask. Axel stares
at him, his eyes wide.
                                                            
 
EXT. DISNEY CASTLE - NIGHT
                                                            
NORTHERN WALL
                                                            
Sora hits the ground hard. He is bleeding badly from his
mouth. He struggles to get up as Saix approaches.
                                                            
                       SAIX
That's it. Get up. Keep fighting,
even though it's pointless.
                                                            
As Sora gets up, Saix drop kicks him in the chest which
launches him about twenty feet back. As Saix comes in for
the kill, he is drop kicked in the face by Riku.
                                                            
Saix gets up. He is angry now. He teleports right in front
of Riku and punches him. He picks Riku up and punches him
again. Then slams him on the ground hard. Saix stands over
both of them, triumphant.
                                                            
                                         CUT TO
                                                            

107.

Mickey is still sword fighting with Xemnas. Xemnas finally
grabs Mickey and throws him against a stone stairway. As
Mickey reaches for his blades, Xemnas teleports up to him.
He steps on his blades and swings his sword right up to
Mickey's neck.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Fine duel rodent. But all good
things always come to an end.
                                                            
Xemnas raises his sword. Before he strikes, an arrow
whistles past his head. He looks up and notices Minnie and
Goofy standing with their army behind them.
                                                            
                       MINNIE
You touch one hair on his head and
I'll end you where you stand.
                                                            
A weakened Merlin approaches from behind Minnie. His right
hand covering his left side. Blood smears can be seen on his
robe.
                                                            
                       MERLIN
It would be wise to do as she
says, champion.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
I am Xemnas! You can't possible be
stupid enough to believe that you
can defeat me!?
                                                            
The battle continues around them. Merlin, slowly approaches
Xemnas.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Especially you, old man. You look
like you don't have long. Blood
never lies.
                                                            
                       MERLIN
Neither does impression. Your the
second one to doubt my abilities.
                                                            
Across the courtyard, Saix stands frozen. He steps back from
the boys, who struggle to get up.
                                                            
Suddenly, Merlin raises his staff and slams it on the
ground. A burst of energy erupts around him and explodes.
White lights spread throughout the castle. Nobodies in the
thousands turn to dust. Xemnas is even blown to the ground.
                                                            
Seconds later, Xemnas gets up. Merlin has vanished. Xemnas
pauses for a moment, realizing his army has been defeated.

108.

Suddenly, he bursts energy from his chest which knocks
everyone down. He quickly grabs the key from Mickey's neck.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
You may have won this fight. But
this is far from over.
                                                            
He vanishes. Saix vanishes. And the remaining Nobodies sink
into the ground and disappear.
                                                            
Soldiers begin to murmur and whisper about what just
happened. Then a loud wave of cheers as they celebrate a
victory.
                                                            
 
EXT. DISNEY CASTLE - NIGHT
                                                            
COURTYARD
                                                            
Disney Castle is in ruins. The walls are battered and
destroyed. Bodies cover the ground. Soldiers begin gathering
the fallen. Sora and Riku walk up to Mickey, who is being
attended by Minnie.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
You both fought well today.
                                                            
They nod.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Sorry about Merlin, Mickey. He was
a good man.
                                                            
Mickey nods. Goofy approaches with Kairi. Kairi rushes to
the boys and leaps into the arms. The three friends embrace
each other tightly.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
I'm so glad you guys are okay.
                                                            
                       RIKU
I missed you both. Let's never
separate again.
                                                            
                       SORA
I'm glad you two are okay. I don't
know what I would do if I lost you
guys.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
How's Donald?
                                                            

109.

                       GOOFY
Fine. He has a major headache and
some slight wounds. But he'll be
okay.
                                                            
The three friends turns to Mickey.
                                                            
                       MINNIE
I'm so glad he's alright.
                                                            
                       RIKU
I can't believe we won.
                                                            
                       GOOFY
Apparently they underestimated our
strength.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Xemnas never underestimates.
                                                            
                       SORA
It doesn't matter. They have the
key now and Kingdom Hearts. It's
over.
                                                            
                       ANSEM
Giving up already?
                                                            
Everyone turns to the opening where the double doors were.
They see a masked warrior.
                                                            
                       RIKU
You again! From Hollow Bastion.
                                                            
                       SORA
Who is that?
                                                            
                       ANSEM
My name is irrelevant for the time
being. But it is a pleasure to
meet you, Sora.
                                                            
                       SORA
How do you know my name?
                                                            
                       ANSEM
I know a lot more than you think.
For example, I know this is not
the end, but only the beginning.
                                                            
                       GOOFY
But they have Kingdom Hearts.
                                                            

110.

                       ANSEM
Not anymore.
                                                            
He turns and walks inside. The group follows behind him.
                                                            
INT. THRONE ROOM
                                                            
They walk in. All of them gaze in shock upon Kingdom Hearts.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
How is this possible?
                                                            
                       ANSEM
Let's just say the Organization
have more enemies than friends.
                                                            
They all turn to see the masked warrior standing on a riser,
supporting one of the pillars.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Does this make you a friend of
ours? Or is this just a one time
generosity?
                                                            
                       ANSEM
Time will tell young man. I swore
to remain neutral in this
endeavor. However, recent events
might just change my perspective.
                                                            
He turns to leave.
                                                            
                       SORA
Thank you. Whoever you are, you
just saved the world. Thank you.
                                                            
He turns to them.
                                                            
                       ANSEM
The time will come for me to thank
you, Sora. Till we meet again.
                                                            
He vanishes.
                                                            
 
INT. CASTLE OBLIVION - NIGHT
                                                            
THRONE ROOM
                                                            
The giant double doors open. The Emperor walks in, the key
in his left hand. Xemnas, Saix, and Anara follow.
                                                            

111.

                       TYRANIUS
Haha. I can't believe I am walking
down these halls once again.
                                                            
They reach the throne. Tyranius walks up to it, and places
his hands upon the arm rests. He slowly massages the chair's
arm rests and cushion.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
I am home again at last.
                                                            
The three stand quietly. Xemnas turns to Anara and notices a
cut on her left cheek. He raise his right hand and lightly
massages the cut. She nervously turns to him. He drops his
hand and they both turn to the Emperor.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
The freedom is almost
overwhelming.
                                                            
He turns and sits down. The three kneel before the emperor.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
Please stand my brave warriors.
Especially you.
                                                            
He points to Xemnas. The three stand. Axel rushes in. He
kneels before the Emperor. Bruises are on his cheeks and by
his eyes.
                                                            
                       AXEL
Welcome back master. However, I
have some news to report.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Later. Master would you like to
see Kingdom Hearts?
                                                            
Anara displays a nervous look, unnoticed by the others. The
Emperor nods. Xemnas turns and walks to the eastern door and
everyone follows him.
                                                            
INT. WEST TOWER CHAMBER
                                                            
The double doors open. Everyone walks in. Xemnas, Saix, and
the Emperor all stare at an empty room.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Where is it!? Where is Kingdom
Hearts?
                                                            
Saix quickly turns to Axel. Axel points his head down. His
hands behind his back.
                                                            

112.

                       SAIX
Where is it?
                                                            
                       AXEL
We were attacked by Queen
Maleficent's army. They took
Kingdom Hearts.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
What were you doing here in the
first place? You were supposed to
be bringing the kids to Hollow
Bastion.
                                                            
                       AXEL
We were attacked before we could.
                                                            
                       SAIX
You idiot! How could you lose
Kingdom Hearts to that witch?
                                                            
                       ANARA
It's true. We were overwhelmed at
first, because the attack was so
sudden.
                                                            
                       SAIX
That's no excuse.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Shut up, Saix.
                                                            
Xemnas turns to Axel, suspiciously.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Well it was a good thing we had
extra defenses.
                                                            
Axel looks up and sees Xemnas still staring at him,
suspiciously.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
Xemnas, I need to speak with you.
Everyone else, out.
                                                            
They kneel before walking out. Xemnas turns to the Emperor.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
It is of little consequence to
lose Kingdom Hearts, since it is
incomplete without the crystals.
                                                            

113.

                       XEMNAS
The life shards?
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
Yes. Without them, Kingdom Hearts
cannot be activated. They are the
power source. You know where to
find them.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
I will collect them for you. I
will see to it personally, that we
do not fail this time.
                                                            
                       TYRANIUS
How do you plan to do that,
champion?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
I'm going to give them a war.
                                                            
Xemnas turns and walks out. The Emperor continues to stare
in the dark.
                                                            
 
EXT. FORT ZEAKDEN RUINS - NIGHT
                                                            
Berserkers move a giant rock the size of a John Deer
tractor. A dark portal is revealed. Shiny reflections bounce
off the portal revealing Xemnas and Anara.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
This is it.
                                                            
Dusks hold torches to light up the area for Xemnas. Xemnas
calls a blade. He throws it towards the mid portions of the
anti magic barrier frame around the portal. It shatters.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Saix.
                                                            
Saix walks up. He calls his claymores. They begin to glow.
                                                            
                       SAIX
From the darkness, we release you!
                                                            
He slams his claymores together, causing a slight shockwave
that sails towards the portal and is engulfed into it.
Shortly after, voices are heard from inside the portal.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
      (Joking)
This might not go so smoothly.
                                                            

114.

Suddenly a figure begins pushing through the portal. It's
JAFAR. Then another. OOGIE BOOGIE. Then SHAN YU. Then
URSULA. Followed by the rest of the Disney villains.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Old friends.
                                                            
                       OOGIE BOOGIE
Friends? Hah! We ain't your
friends bub.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Welcome back.
                                                            
Oogie Boogie begins walking up to Xemnas.
                                                            
                       OOGIE BOOGIE
If you think for one second that
were going to he...
                                                            
Xemnas teleports up to Oogie and grabs him by the neck. He
lifts him off the ground as easy as lifting a feather.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
I could easily crush you. Remember
that.
                                                            
Oogie Boogie begins to wimper and beg for his life. Xemnas
throws him against the ground hard.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
I don't have time for this really
so I'll get right to it. You have
a choice. Serve us and together we
destroy the Disney worlds once and
for all. Or go back to the chains.
                                                            
Oogie Boogie struggles to get up. After a brief moment of
silence, all of the villains kneel to Xemnas, one by one.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Good. Now I want you to go and
reign chaos onto the worlds. Do
whatever it takes to ensure that
there is no alliance. Understood?
                                                            
They all nod in agreement.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Good. There's a cruiser nearby. It
will take you to where you want to
go. Have fun.
                                                            

115.

Xemnas and the other Organization members vanish. The
villains celebrate their freedom and begin to move towards
the cruiser to carry out their missions.
                                                            
 
INT. XEMNAS'S ROOM - DAY
                                                            
                                         CLOSE IN
                                                            
Xemnas and Anara both appear on the balcony of Xemnas's
chambers. Anara walks in and sits on the bed. Xemnas turns
and looks out upon the stormy clouds of the World That Never
Was.
                                                            
                       ANARA
I hope those fools don't fail us.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
They won't.
                                                            
Anara stares at Xemnas, who is still looking out among the
clouds. His silence bothers her.
                                                            
                       ANARA
Your awfully quiet.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Just thinking.
                                                            
                       ANARA
About what?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Life.
                                                            
Xemnas turns to her.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE UP
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Sometimes I feel behind. Like
everything is moving forward
around me, but me.
                                                            
                       ANARA
You feel that? But that's
impossible. We don't have emotions
Xemnas.
                                                            
He walks slowly up to the bed and sits down.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE ON
                                                            

116.

                       XEMNAS
Exactly the type of things I have
been thinking about. Emotions.
Every time your gone, I get this
overwhelming feeling of misery. I
guess you could say, I worry?
                                                            
                                         CLOSE UP
                                                            
Anara places her hand on his.
                                                            
                       ANARA
Can you feel this?
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
I can feel your touch. Not your
warmth.
                                                            
                       ANARA
Exactly. We were engineered
incompletely. We are unable to
have human emotion.
                                                            
                       XEMNAS
Maybe we can. Maybe, we just have
to seek it.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE UP
                                                            
Xemnas places his hand over hers. He grasps it tightly, as
Anara does the same. Then they share a moment of silence.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE ON
                                                            
HALLWAY
                                                            
Saix is standing against the wall. His arms crossed and
silent. He gazes upon Anara and Xemnas through the open
door.
                                                            
                       SAIX
      (Whispering)
You dare break the forbidden law.
This will not go unpunished
Xemnas. Mark my words.
                                                            
He stares in silence for a few seconds. Then he turns and
slowly and quietly walks away.
                                                            
 
INT. DISNEY CASTLE - DAY
                                                            

117.

DINING HALL
                                                            
Double doors open. Guards escort Minnie and Kairi into the
room. They sit at the center table. Mickey, Sora, and Riku
are already sitting. Donald walks in with a rolled map.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Everyone sit down. Donald, the map
please.
                                                            
Everyone sits down. Donald unrolls the map. It is an entire
map of the Anime universe, that reveals all the Disney
worlds.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
You all must be wondering why I
have called this meeting? I was
hoping we could discuss some
options on what to do next.
                                                            
                       RIKU
We are at war. The Organization
has struck first. We need to
discuss strategy.
                                                            
                       SORA
We need to discuss any available
support options to fight against
the Organization.
                                                            
                       RIKU
But without any support from the
neighboring countries, we'll have
no chance against another
invasion.
                                                            
                       DONALD
      (Scratchy)
We will need to relay messengers
to all the worlds of Anime. We
must rebuild the alliance.
                                                            
Mickey nods to the discussed options.
                                                            
                       MINNIE
But what if the other worlds are
unable to lend support?
                                                            
                       RIKU
We have Kingdom Hearts now. You
know Xemnas is planning to take it
back.
                                                            

118.

                       DONALD
      (Scratchy)
With one third of the army gone,
well have to be more efficient
with our forces and more careful
when stationing patrols.
                                                            
                       SORA
I agree with Donald. From here on
forth, we have to be careful. But
we cannot do this alone. We do
need help from the other worlds.
Xemnas will come for Kingdom
Hearts.
                                                            
Kairi turns and sees Mickey quiet.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
Something on your mind, your
highness?
                                                            
Everyone turns to Mickey.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
All these options are good. I do
believe the Organization will come
for Kingdom Hearts. But not yet.
Let me show you why.
                                                            
Mickey gets up and walks out. After a brief moment, everyone
gets up and follows him.
                                                            
INT. MICKEY'S CHAMBER
                                                            
Mickey opens the door and walks next to the fireplace.
Everyone walks in and stands nearby. Mickey pulls a stone
tablet from the floor, which leaves a hole. He reaches into
the hole and pulls out a chest. He opens the chest and pulls
out a covered object. He turns and walks to the group.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
This is what they will be after
next.
                                                            
Mickey unravels the covering and a diamond shaped crystal
shines in his hands. Everyone glares upon it's beauty.
                                                            
                       RIKU
What is it?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
The crystal of Disney Castle. The
life flow of Kingdom Hearts.
                                                            

119.

                       SORA
You mean...
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Yes. Each world has one. A wish
can only be granted when the
wisher acquires all the crystals.
                                                            
                       RIKU
So you have it in the floor of
your room?
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Would you think to look in the
floor of the King's room?
                                                            
Riku and Sora smile at the remark.
                                                            
                       KAIRI
So Xemnas could be or for worse
attack anywhere collecting them.
                                                            
Mickey nods. Suddenly, guards rush open the doors led by
Goofy. They are carrying a young boy. The guards lay the boy
before Mickey, who helps him up.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Aladdin!
                                                            
                       MINNIE
      (Worried)
Oh dear me. Who did this to him?
                                                            
                       GOOFY
He said Jafar has been freed and
is reigning chaos onto the city of
Agrabah.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
But that's impossible. He was
locked up in the realm of darkness
with the rest of them.
                                                            
                       GOOFY
It appears that Xemnas found a way
to escape. He must have released
their former allies and unleashed
them upon the worlds.
                                                            
                       RIKU
Great. Is this going to be a
problem for us too?
                                                            

120.

                       GOOFY
If they are not dealt with soon,
in time they could be.
                                                            
Sora walks to the window. Riku walks over and helps Goofy
lift Aladdin to his feet.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
Don't worry Aladdin. We'll help
Agrabah. Get him to the doctors.
                                                            
Goofy and Riku help him out, followed by the guards. Minnie
rushes after them too. Mickey slams a fist down on the
table.
                                                            
                       MICKEY
      (Angry)
Curse the Organization for this
misery! I swear on my life, Xemnas
will pay dearly for this cruelty.
                                                            
                       DONALD
      (Scratchy)
We must prepare ourselves. The
times are surely to be difficult
from now on.
                                                            
                       SORA
They always have been.
                                                            
Donald, Kairi and Mickey turn to Sora, whose is still
looking out the window at the stars.
                                                            
                       SORA
We are at war. But together we can
win. We must show our enemies that
they cannot break us. No matter
what, we will prevail.
                                                            
He turns to Kairi, Donald, and Mickey.
                                                            
                       SORA
We will meet them. We will fight
back.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE UP
                                                            
Mickey and Kairi smile at his response. Sora turns back to
the window and continues to look out.
                                                            

121.

                       SORA
      (Whispering to
       himself)
This is only the beginning.
                                                            
                                         CLOSE UP
                                                            
From Sora's sight, we sail across the universe towards
Xemnas's balcony.
                                                            
EXT XEMNAS'S BALCONY
                                                            
Xemnas is also staring at the stars. It's as if Sora and
Xemnas are staring at each other across the universe. Xemnas
smiles.
                                                            
                                         CUT TO
                                                            
TO BE CONTINUED...

From patrick Date 6/13/2009 ***1/2
Wow bro, not bad. Looks really good. I would go see it for sure. But I did notice some things that confused me a little, but cleared out later in the script. For ex: Sora is Mickey's adopted son? A little confusing, but it's better to add a different twist then stealing the original idea I guess. And it sounds as though Xemnas is acting more of a good guy than a bad guy. But later on, I get hints about the Emperor character having different plans so I guess it could work if you really work hard in explaining so we the viewers will understand it better. I won't give you a perfect score since we both understand the fairness of the biz, but really good. Now work on teh second one haha
