They were gathered with the others with Sora whispering to Riesz that Aqua was a Key Bearer like himself and that Kairi and Riku were his best friends since childhood. DiZ and Yen Sid had gathered there upon a table the Book of Prophecies was laid open. Yen Sid was hard at work channelling the light magic taken from Jasmine and Kairi into a spell. "Yen Sid is now close to breaking the barrier and the King and Queen along with Donald & Goofy have gone to the castle to ready the forces there for when the barrier falls." DiZ explained as they understood. "Riku and Kairi, while I can understand you both wanting to go to help, I don't think you are prepared enough so can I please ask if you stay with Aqua and us here to defend in case Sephiroth takes advantage of this situation to try to attack. I hope you that you can help if needed Tifa and Aerith." DiZ continued on with them nodding but Riku and Kairi didn't look too happy.

"Sora, I hope your group and your newest member can be counted on to help with reclaiming King Mickey's castle." DiZ said and that caught Riku and Kairi's attention as they spotted Riesz.

"Guys this is Riesz, she was the Princess of the kingdom that had the other copy of the Book of Prophecies that we retrieved... I had to beat her in a duel to win it and it turned out that I won her hand in marriage as well but I didn't learn until too late..." Sora muttered with Riesz greeting them with a wave saying she hopes to get to know them.

"Seriously Sora... I can't say that I have no words because I do have words but I don't know if I want to speak them out loud..." Riku muttered with shock along with Kairi who just shook her head while failing to hide a grin on her face. Sora shook his head with an exasperated sigh as his group and himself got ready with Yen Sid managed to break through the barrier and got the portal ready to send them there.

After vacating the library Sephiroth had retreated to the Realm of Darkness and had opened up the portal that would lead to his physical self in the Lifestream. Sighing about the fact that he was still not strong enough to merge with his other self yet and he might not be able to get strong enough quick enough.

He was going to wait until he got another idea on what to use his 2nd wish on but deciding that he would need to make the risk he took out Jafar's lamp. He rubbed it and Jafar glared as he came out while growling "so have you finally decided on what to make your next wish on? Plus when will I be able to act my vengeance."

Sephiroth smirked as he was going to use his ace against Jafar, "Don't worry right after I make my next wish then I will wish for your freedom." Sephiroth told him with Jafar being surprised but grinning. "For my 2nd wish I wish that my powers of Darkness will be growing stronger at a much larger and faster rate." Sephiroth told him and Jafar made it so with Sephiroth grinning as he felt the darkness growing within him.

"Now be a good little master and wish me free." Jafar ordered Sephiroth thinking of how to use his powers to make the Key Bearer, his friends and all the others pay.

"Jafar for my 3rd and final wish... I wish that you were a mortal sorcerer with your cosmic genie powers funnelled into me." Sephiroth said with Jafar blinking but unable to prevent his powers form carrying it out. Sephiroth felt the great power that he began channelling into the portal to the physical form of his other self in the Lifestream, so not to overcome himself.

Jafar yelled in rage as he was now back as a human and using his staff he tried to attack Sephiroth but was frozen by Sephiroth using his powers. "I told you that i knew about your intentions to betray Maleficent after becoming a Genie and I knew better than to trust you. You have your freedom as you wanted and I will let you have a go at your vengeance and don't worry... The pesky phenomenal cosmic powers that were keeping you imprisoned in the lamp will be put to good use." Sephiroth told Jafar gloatingly with Jafar wishing that he was able to fight back.

Sora and his group were in the Disney Castle as they saw the castle's guards with Donald and Goofy leading the group in fighting the army of Unversed that was there. They were able to fight through them themselves as they ran to the direction of the library with Sora and Cloud leading the way. They found King Mickey in the library trying to carefully walk around something in worry after he had taken care of the Unversed in the area.

They looked down and gasped in shock and terror as they saw the corpses littering the area, "All these look like the same person..." Jasmine muttered as Cloud gasped taking a closer look and inspecting them. Yuffie shook her head at the displays with Riesz and Jasmine ready to throw up at the level of blood and death. Not even being the leader of her kingdom's guard and having fought magical monsters pretty much all her life could have prepared Riesz for this... especially when Sora didn't look like he was ready either...

"All these are Hojo; Sephiroth must have brought them all through the portals and different timelines for his sadistic pleasure in killing him..." Cloud muttered and then remembered that most there didn't know who he was. "Professor Hojo was a scientist for Shinra and a pretty messed up one as well, he was the head of the Jenova Project which had created Sephiroth so he was pretty much his father..." Cloud explained sounding like he was disgusting him to even have to mention Hojo.

"Sephiroth used time travel to bring forth his father from the past multiple times for nothing more than just to murder him... How messed up is this villain..." Riesz asked with horror in her voice with most not disagreeing with her and Yuffie muttering that it was an understatement to say that Sephiroth was messed up.

"Not the first person that I would want to ally with but if you ask me but beggars can't be choosers I guess. Still miles above having to work for Xehanort." said Vanitas appearing before them and they got ready to fight but then there was a barrier between Vanitas and Sora and the area was crawling with Unversed forcing the others to fight before they could try and strike the barrier to free Sora.

Sora was worried as he saw Vanitas' grin and knew that this was to forge the X-Blade, hopefully he could get out of this without playing into Sephiroth's hands.
