Quest No. 71

Before quest

[1 year ago] [Xehanort and Eraqus are seen playing chess.] Xehanort: "Have you heard of the ancient Keyblade War?" Eraqus: "Huh?" Eraqus: "Of course I have." Xehanort: "Long ago, Keyblade wielders waged a war over the ownership of light." Eraqus: "Yeah, the Master's favorite story." Xehanort: "I wonder what they planned on doing with Kingdom Hearts after... making it appear." Eraqus: "Who knows? I don't get why anyone would initiate a war." Xehanort: "So..." [The screen zooms in on Xehanort.] Xehanort: "you know the "Lost Masters"!" [The screen moves to Eraqus.] Eraqus: "Who?" [The screen moves to show both of them.] Xehanort: "They're the ones who started the Keyblade War." Eraqus: "Never heard of 'em. Where'd you hear about that?" Xehanort: "Or... they're the ones for whom the war started." Eraqus: "I'm not following you." [The screen shows Eraqus.] Xehanort: "You can drop the facade." 'Eraqus: Facade?" [The screen moves to Xehanort.] Xehanort: ""On that land shall darkness prevail and light expire." A prospective Keyblade Master should know this." [The screen moves to show both of them.] Eraqus: "If you say so." [The screen moves to a Keyblade hanging on the wall.] Xehanort: "The Gazing Eye sees the fate of the world." [The screen moves back to Xehanort and Eraqus.] Xehanort: "The future—it's already been written." Eraqus: "Really? I'm not so sure about that. Besides, who's to say I can't change it? And maybe light will prevail." Xehanort: "Pretty confident. But things aren't in your favor." [The screen moves to Eraqus.] Eraqus: "Perhaps. But unlike darkness, there is more to light than meets the eye. You might be surprised." [The screen moves to Xehanort.] Xehanort: "Oh, I hope so." [The screen zooms out and goes black.] [Vor is seen walking through the Courtyard in Dwarf's Woodlands.] Vor: "Well, it's official. I'm lost." Vor: "But I did find this amazing castle! I wonder if anyone's home." Vor: "Oh, I think I hear someone." [Vor enters the castle, where she sees the Queen and the Magic Mirror. Vor hides behind a pillar.] Magic Mirror: "What wouldst thou know now, my Queen?" The Queen: "Magic Mirror on the wall, who shall forever tule o'er all?" Magic Mirror: "Thou will, my liege." [The Queen smiles and walks away.] Vor: "Wow, that mirror knows all the answers!" Vor: "Maybe... it can help me too." [Vor approaches the Magic Mirror and the screen goes black.] [Xehanort and Eraqus run into Vor in the Dark Forest.] Eraqus: "There you are! We were worried." Xehanort: "Are you all right?" Vor: "Yeah." Eraqus: "You said you wanted to come with us, and then you went off on your own!" Xehanort: "We need to stick together." Vor: "I know, I'm sorry. I was chasing a butterfly, and then I looked around and you were gone." Eraqus: "Why am I not surprised?" ???: "Hurry, men! Hurry!" [Xehanort, Eraqus, and Vor look toward the voice, and see three Dwarfs.] Grumpy: "Bah! I told ya that mine tunnel was brewin' trouble!" Doc: "That's why I'm coming with ya!" Happy: "No time for fussin'. We gotta help 'em outta there!" Grumpy: "Don't ya think I know that?!" [The Dwarfs run off.] Xehanort: "They must be from this world, but I don't think they're likely to harm us." Eraqus: "I don't think so either. It also sounded like they had their hands full." Vor: "Something about a mine?" Xehanort: "There must've been a cave-in." Vor: "If someone's trapped, we might be able to help!" [Vor runs off.] Eraqus: "What did we just say about going off on your own?!" [Eraqus heads after her.] Xehanort: "You're one to talk."

Quest No. 73

Before quest

[Xehanort, Eraqus, and Vor run through the mine, until they reach the Dwarfs.] Grumpy: "Who are ya? An' what're you lookin' at!?" Doc: "Aw, don't find...uh-uh, mind him." Happy: "Yeah, it's nice to meet ya!" Eraqus: "We thought you might need a hand." Xehanort: "So someone's trapped behind that boulder..." [Vor summons her Keyblade and walks up to the boulder.] Eraqus: "What are you gonna do?" [Vor holds out her Keyblade.] Xehanort: "That's not a bad idea. A Keyblade might do the trick." [Vor dismissed her Keyblade.] Eraqus: "Or not...?" [Vor lifts the boulder and tosses it behind her. Bashful peeks through the hole.] Bashful: "Gosh, thanks!" [Bashful jumps out the hole to join the other Dwarfs, and Sneezy comes out behind him.] Sneezy: "Ah-ah-achoo!" Sneezy: "*sniff* It was awful dusty." [Sneezy joins the other Dwarfs, and Sleepy comes out the hole.] Sleepy: "Yawwwn... Yeah, it was too dark to sleep good in there." [Sleepy joins the other Dwarfs, and Dopey comes out the hole.] [Dopey grabs Vor's hands, and jumps with joy. He then joins the others.] Happy: "We're mighty grateful for your help, friends!" Grumpy: "Hmph! We coulda fixed it fine." Grumpy: "But...I s'pose we oughta thank ya." Doc: "Now all seven of us can go back to work." Vor: "Seven, huh? Just like us." [Eraqus runs to Vor.] Eraqus: "That was awesome!" [Xehanort senses something, and looks behind him.] Xehanort: "We've got company." [The others look while a Driller Mole crashes down from the ceiling.] Grumpy: "Oh, for pete's sake! Now what!?" [The Driller Mole moves around, and digs into the ground.] Doc: "If this doesn't stop, the whole mine'll collapse!" [Vor summons her Keyblade and runs to the Driller Mole.] Vor: "Get somewhere safe!" [The Dwarfs run off, as Eraqus and Xehanort summon their Keyblades and join Vor.] Eraqus: "Do you think it caused the cave-in?" Xehanort: "I don't know, but the only thing to do now is to—" Vor: "Clobber it!"

Eraqus: "Whe're supposed to be tracking darkness, right? I don't know if we're gonna get anywhere by just defeating random Heartless that we encounter." Xehanort: "We all knew it wasn't going to be easy." Vor: "Actually, it might be." Eraqus: "A castle?" Xehanort: "An all-knowing mirror?" Vor: "Come see for yourselves!" [Vor runs off.]
