== History ==
=== Arrivals ===
As per their King's instructions, Donald Duck and Goofy, along with Pluto, arrived at Traverse Town in search of Leon to find the Key Bearer. While there, Goofy watched as a star blinked out (signifying the destruction of Destiny Islands). Donald resolved to find the Key Bearer when Pluto separated from them. He found Sora, having landed in an alley after his homeworld was destroyed, and woke him up with a lick. Though Sora was disgusted, he was mostly shocked by his new whereabouts. Pluto ran off as Sora tried to figure out how he arrived at the world as a man watched him from afar.
Sora explored the town when he was approached by a woman who offered to show him around. Though he refused, the woman insisted until she was attacked by a Soldier, losing her heart. Sora recognized the creatures as the same ones who invaded his homeworld and ran into the Accessory Shop for safety. The shopkeeper, Cid, vaporized the Shadows with his Cid Cannon and informed Sora that they attacked people for their hearts though hadn't been seen in the First District for a while. Sora asked Cid about the town, having been separated from his friends, Riku and Kairi, when their homeworld was destroyed. Cid advised him to search the town for them and offered to look after him. As Sora left the shop, he was confronted by the man, who explained that the Heartless would attack him as long as he wielded the Keyblade.
The man knocked Sora out and took him to the Hotel, where he was attended by Yuffie, who believed Squall overdid his attack. He corrected her, calling himself Leon, whom Donald Duck and Goofy continued to search aimlessly for. As Leon and Yuffie explained to Sora that the Heartless were drawn to the Keyblade, they were attacked by a horde of Shadows and Soldiers. Leon instructed Sora to find their leader, and in the ensuing battle, met Donald Duck and Goofy, who aided him in defeating the Guard Armor. Afterward, Donald and Goofy explained that they were instructed to find the Key by their King and asked Sora to join them, which Leon encouraged. Sora agreed, hoping to find Riku and Kairi on other worlds, and the three introduced each other.
