Season #spring

---

(The Beast looks at the floor, saying nothing)

Sora:
Who was that guy you were talking to? The one in black?

Beast:
Xaldin... that's his name. He came from the darkness... He...used my

anger to control me. He took all my sorrow, my sadness, my pain---and turned it

all into rage. There was nothing I could do... I could no longer see the truth.

Goofy:
Well, I'll be. That must be why you threw all of your friends down there

into the dungeon. You wanted to make sure that you didn't hurt 'em, right?

Beast:
Was that it? Was it to protect them?

Goofy:
Sure. We know you're good inside.

Cogsworth:
He's right, Master. We've all seen how kind you can be. After all...

Belle can see the goodness in your heart, but I'm afraid you've yet to---

Beast:
Belle!

(Beast sighs)

Beast:
I've mistreated her... I've mistreated her and been so selfish.

Sora:
She didn't say anything about that.

Beast:
She'd never tell anyone of my cruelty... She's too good.

Cogsworth (to Sora): You see, I'm afraid he judges himself far too harshly.

Sora:
Why don't you just go talk to her?

Beast:
But...

Sora:
No excuses! C'mon, we'll go with you.

(The group proceeds to Belle's Room in the East Wing)

Wardrobe:
Master!

Donald:
Everybody's safe now.

Wardrobe:
Wonderful! Thank you!

Beast:
Where is Belle?

Wardrobe:
Why, she left in a hurry. Something about going after this...man in

black.

Beast:
WHAT!? Why doesn't she do as she's told?

Wardrobe:
Temper, temper! Her spirit is what makes Belle so special.

Sora:
We'd better go find her!

(They race to the Entrance Hall)

Belle:
I'm warning you! You'll be sorry!

Beast:
Belle! Where are you?

Belle:
Beast! Help! I'm in the ballroom!

(Belle runs across the ballroom floor, as Sora and crew enter)

Beast:
Belle!

Belle:
I'm all right!

(Belle runs to the balcony door and closes it before a large spiked ball in

chains floats down in front of it, trying to go after her. It turns around and

changes targets. It floats up to the large candelabra and drops down into the

floor. Waves of darkness emanate through the ballroom, poisoning it. Donald

jumps into Goofy's arms to get off the floor. The chained ball jumps back out

of the floor as the dark pool climbs up the ballroom pillars. It covers the

intricate painting on the ceiling and mutates the chandelier. After a short

battle, the ball spasms and covers itself in dark webs. The webs burst,

revealing a large violet creature with pink throbbing fins attached to its

head. It roars and Sora moves into action. After a grueling battle with the

monster, it roars and is obliterated. The ballroom returns to normal)

Sora:
We did it!

Xaldin:
So you think.

(The three look over at the door to the Entrance Hall and see Xaldin, still

hooded)

Beast:
Xaldin!

(Sora and Beast run over to Xaldin, who disappears in a dark wave)

Xaldin:
Farewell.

(They stop running)

Beast:
What does he want here?

Sora:
He must be with Organization XIII. Ever heard of the Nobodies? When a

strong-hearted person turns into a Heartless, a Nobody's created, too. See, the

Organization...they've got control of all the Nobodies.

Goofy:
That's right. And they were gonna make you into a Heartless. That way,

they could get that Nobody of yours and have control over it.

(Sora points at Goofy and nods)

Belle:
You're alright!

(Belle walks back in from the balcony doors)

Beast:
Belle!

(The Beast runs over to her. Mrs. Potts, Lumiere, Chip, and Cogsworth walk in)

Beast:
Belle... I-I'm sorry---I...wasn't myself. I hope I haven't done anything

to hurt you.

(Belle smiles, making Beast smile back)

Beast:
Forgive me.

Belle:
I know you weren't yourself. You don't have to apologize. But I had

hoped...that you might have changed a little bit.

(Belle wags a finger at Beast, who looks sheepish)

Belle:
I wish you could start trusting me.

(She crosses her arms. Beast looks down)

Lumiere:
Oh, I am afraid time is running short.

Sora:
What do you mean?

Lumiere:
Remember the rose?

Donald:
From the Beast's room?

Cogsworth:
Precisely. You see, if the master can learn to love, and earn love

in return, before the last petal falls...

Lumiere:
...the spell will be broken.

Sora:
Really? You think he's gonna make it?

Mrs. Potts:
We think so.

(She rubs up against Chip)

Goofy:
Yep, I think you're right.

Sora:
I HOPE you're right...

(Sora's Keyblade appears. The rose glass in Beast's room floats into the air.

The Keyblade emits a bright light. Sora opens another gateway)

Beast:
What happened?

Donald:
The gate is open!

Belle:
Do you have to go?

Sora:
Yeah.

Goofy:
Now, no more arguin', okay?

(The Beast looks at Belle, then looks away)

Lumiere (bowing): We'll see to it.

Mrs. Potts:
Take care, dears.

Cogsworth:
You're welcome here anytime.

Sora:
If you hear anything about Riku or the King, the Heartless, the

Organization---anything at all---let us know!

(Belle and Beast nod)

Sora:
Okay, gotta go!

(Sora, Donald, and Goofy wave)

Donald:
Bye bye!

(The trio leaves Beast's Castle and they notice something odd about the Gummi

Ship once they're aboard)

Goofy:
Huh?

Sora:
Hey, wait a minute... Is the ship moving all on its own?

Goofy:
Yup! Looks like we're headed toward Hollow Bastion.

(The ship docks in Hollow Bastion and they get off at the Borough)

Sora:
I wonder what's up.

(They walk to Merlin's House and see the door is open. Several Soldier

Heartless run out of it)

Donald:
Uh-oh!

(The Heartless disappear)

Sora:
C'mon!

(They run into the house and see Merlin on the floor. Merlin adjusts his

glasses and stands up as Sora runs over to him)

Merlin:
Well, now...took your time, did you?

Goofy:
Oh, was it you who summoned us, Merlin?

Merlin:
Yes, yes... But it seems I used too much power in doing so, and those

infernal Heartless...

Sora:
So, what's up?

Merlin:
Well, I happened to stumble across this in the Zero District.

(A familiar book appears in Merlin's hand. He hands it to Donald)

Sora:
Pooh's storybook!

Merlin:
That's right. I know you're a good friend of Winnie the Pooh,

Sora---that's why I summoned you. And when I did, I was attacked by the

Heartless. Of course, I fought back with some rather powerful magic, but then I

began to fear the book would be damaged, so I... Oh! Now, just a moment. Leon

and the others need to hear this too. I-I'd better go find them. Be back in a

jiffy.

(Merlin vanishes in a puff of smoke)

Sora:
I wonder how Pooh's doing.

Donald:
Wanna find out?

Sora:
Yeah!

(Donald opens the book and holds it up)

Goofy:
Sora...

Sora:
Cover for me, okay?

(Sora enters the book)

Sora:
I wonder if Pooh's home.

(He enters Pooh Bear's House, and sees Pooh sitting on a log. Pooh notices his

entrance)

Sora:
Hey, Pooh Bear! How you doing? Finding enough honey lately?

Pooh:
Oh, yes. In fact, I was just about to do my stoutness exercises. Would

you like to join me, Sora?

Sora:
Sure, I'm game!

(Pooh hops off the log, but somehow is caught midjump and everything freezes)

Sora:
Huh?

(Sora tries to touch Pooh and is thrown back out of the Hundred Acre Wood. He

lands on the floor in Merlin's House. The book, which is now on a desk, closes)
