Quest No. 21

Before quest

[On Destiny Islands, Xehanort wakes up with a tear running down his face.] Xehanort: "I never really thought about who I was." [A robed figure approaches Xehanort.] Xehanort: "Not until I began to wonder who others were." [The scene moves to the classroom in Scala ad Caelum.] Xehanort: "Day after day, I spend my time with the same classmates in the same classroom. The days are peaceful and a little boring, but they're also familiar and comfortable." [The screen turns black.] Xehanort: "Even so, my new life is just like the old." [The scene goes back to the Destiny Islands, with Xehanort entering a Corridor of Darkness.] Xehanort: "A different world, but with the same days playing out over and over again. I left the island behind to come here, and yet..." [The scene moves to Scala ad Caelum, where Xehanort sits on a bench and Eraqus walks up and joins him.] Xehanort: "Maybe it's not about the place. Maybe it's about me... ...and how I engage with others. How we influence one another and the world around us." Xehanort: "Maybe that's what shapes our hearts and who we are...and who we will become." [The scene moves to Wonderland, where Xehanort stand leaning against a tree.] Xehanort: "All kinds of things can influence the growth of a heart. Change can come from anywhere, from the smallest, simplest thing. From light, or from darkness." Eraqus: "They should be here by now." <Party member>: "What? YOU'RE late all the time." Eraqus: "Fashionably late!" <Party member>: "Says you!" Eraqus: "Hey, there's an art to my—" Xehanort: "Shh. We're being watched." Eraqus: "It's about time they showed up!" Eraqus: "Agh!" Xehanort: "What is it?" <Party member>: "What's wrong?" [Eraqus points to a pair of eyes in a tree, and the Cheshire Cat appears.] Cheshire Cat: "♪'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves...♪" <Party member>: "Where did—?" Xehanort: "Who are you?" Cheshire Cat: "A cheshire cat, if you please. Or if you don't." Eraqus: "A cat? Man, you scared me!" Cheshire Cat: "Hmm...there's no point waiting around for your friends to arrive." Xehanort: "How did you know we're waiting for our friends?" Cheshire Cat: "Mmm... I'll never tell." Eraqus: "Can you help us? Do you know where they are?" Cheshire Cat: "Why, they're under lock... And, of course, key, too." Xehanort, Eraqus, and <Party member>: "!" Xehanort: "What!? Where?" Cheshire Cat: "Exactly? What or where?" [The Cheshire Cat disappears.] Eraqus: "Hey, wait!" <Party member>: "So what's the plan?" Xehanort: "Well, we don't have much to go off of." Eraqus: "But we have to do something! Start looking for— Agh!" [The Cheshire Cat's head appears in a different tree.] Cheshire Cat: "Or just wait. The answer will be here rather soon." [The Cheshire Cat disappears again.] Eraqus: "Is he really gone this time...?" <Party member>: "What did he mean anyway?" Xehanort: "Beats me." Xehanort: "Ah, that might be our answer." [Three Playing Cards surround the trio.] <Party member>: "What now?" Ace of Spades: "More intruders?! It's not good to cause a ruckus in Her Majesty's kingdom, you know." Eraqus: "We're just looking for our friends." Three of Spades: "Not that that would matter." Two of Spades: "We'd best seize them." Eraqus: "Hey, listen to me!" ???: "Hurry!" [The Ace of Hearts walks up.] Ace of Hearts: "The trial's about to begin!" Three of Spades: "But we spotted some suspicious—" Ace of Hearts: "No time for that! If you're late, you'll lose your heads!" [The Playing Cards run off.] Eraqus: "So...that's it?" <Party member>: "I guess we're off the hook." Xehanort: "For now. But I'm not so sure about the others." <Party member>: "What do you mean?" Xehanort: ""More intruders," he said— which means he must've run into people who looked like us before." Eraqus: "That's it!" Eraqus: "The cat said our friends were under lock and key, and those soldiers were talking about a trial. That's gotta be where they are." <Party member>: "Wait, a trial? For what?" Xehanort: ""I don't know. Seems like this worlds has its own weird set of rules." <Party member>: "At least now we know where to go." Eraqus: "Then what are we waiting for?"

Quest No. 28

Before quest

[The White Rabbit runs up a platform and blows on his trumpet.] White Rabbit: "Your Majesty, loyal subjects, the...uh, the trial has begun!" [The Queen of Hearts is seen sitting on her throne, facing the three classmates.] White Rabbit: "The prisoners at the bar are charged with trespassing... ...and willfully disturbing Her Majesty's peace." Bragi: "Wait, I'll own up to trespassing, but that's it. If anything, we were fighting the monsters to try and KEEP the peace." Queen of Hearts: "Oh? So you confess to a far more serious crime!" Bragi: "Uh... You mean fighting monsters? But that's the only way—" Queen of Hearts: "All ways here are MY ways! Everything you see obeys MY rules and follows MY ways!" Bragi: "Everything? Like the people, this place, and even...the monsters?" Queen of Hearts: "Of course!" Bragi: "But that's crazy!" [Xehanort's party is listening in from behind a hedge.] Eraqus: "I've seen enough." [Eraqus summons his Keyblade.] Xehanort: "Wait. What exactly are you going to do?" Eraqus: "Isn't it obvious? I'm gonna save them!" Xehanort: "By attacking these people? Remember, we have to respect this world's order." [Eraqus dismisses his Keyblade.] <Party member>: "But what else can we do?" Xehanort: "Well, we shouldn't waste any more time standing around here." Xehanort: "What are you smiling about? Let's go." Eraqus: "Yeah, yeah." [The three run off.] Queen of Hearts: "It's time for your sentence... ...and that sentence is...guilty!" [Xehanort's party arrives.] Eraqus: "Objection!" Bragi: "Guys!" Xehanort: "That verdict is unfair and you know it!" Queen of Hearts: "Who are you!? And how dare you challenge me!? They're guilty because I say so!" Xehanort: "They should be judged by a jury of their peers, and not by one single person. What right do you have to decide their fate?" Queen of Hearts: "BECAUSE I AM THE QUEEN! AND... ...I AM ALWAYS IN CHARGE!" Xehanort: "You decide everything for everyone?" Eraqus: "Come on, there has to be a better way. What did they do that was so bad, huh? Can't you show some mercy? Or are you just a bully who rules with fear?" Queen of Hearts: "Fear!? Nonsense! My subjects adore me. DON'T YOU, SUBJECTS!?" [The Playing Cards are all trembling with fear.] Queen of Hearts: "See?! All power here is my power!" Queen of Hearts: "Now, enough of this insolence! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" Playing Cards: "They're going to lose their heads!" [The Playing Cards group together.] Playing Cards: "They're going to lose their heads!" [The Playing Cards form a pyramid.] Eraqus: "What now? Got a plan?" Xehanort: "That WAS the plan. We'll just have to wing it now." Eraqus: "Great! That's what I do best!" Xehanort: "What—?" [The Queen of Hearts radiates a dark aura.] Queen of Hearts: "Seize them!" [As the Playing Cards close in, they are slashes aside, and a Ferry Reaper appears.] <Party member>: "Whoa!" Eraqus: "Can I use my Keyblade now?" Xehanort: "You don't have to ask." [All Keyblade wielders summon their Keyblades.] White Rabbit: "Th-the prisoners have been found guilty. So, the, uh, the trial is over!" [The White Rabbit runs off.] Queen of Hearts: "Order! I said ORDER! You will all pay for this!" [The Queen of Hearts leaves. Meanwhile, the Playing Cards try to fight the Ferry Reaper, but get knocked over.] Bragi: "They don't stand a chance..." [The three classmates position themselves between the Ferry Reaper and the Playing Cards.] Eraqus: "Bragi!" [The three attack the Ferry Reaper, but get knocked aside together with the Playing Cards.] Eraqus: "Bragi!" [The Ferry Reaper turns its attention to Xehanort's party.] Xehanort: "This won't be easy." Eraqus: "Ready when you are."
