...It's been a whole year since I've arrived here. At the time, I didn't know anything. But so much has happened within the past year. The appearance of Maleficent would be one of the greater cornerstones, I would believe. The Heartless invasion, the conquering of Radiant Garden, the recent mist. And yet there is still much to be done, and much to learn. Is Maleficent the cause of all of this? Or is it the darkness itself?

We've still a long way to go, I'm sure. But I'm also certain that we will prevail in the end. We just need to have that desire within our hearts.

Desire won't get us anywhere if we don't take action.

Congratulations, by the way.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

Of course we will take action. Desire and action go hand-in-hand. Neither is any good without the other.

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

Right. The whole Maleficent being the cause of everything sounds possible. Even if she isn't, she might know something.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

I'm certain that she does. I would keep trying to gain information from her whenever she appears.

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

Why wait for her to appear? We can find her.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

...And then attack?

[He doesn't quite think that's a good idea just yet.]

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

Yeah! And then we'll undo this.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

Hmm. Defeating her would take care of the more immediate problems, but I'm not sure if it'll truly restore our worlds as they were.

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

Okay then what should we do?

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

For now? We should wait for the plan that Leon spoke of.

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

Great. More waiting.

I still like my plan.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

Rushing in blindly without any thought of what you would do? A plan like that will mean certain failure.

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

You can't know that for sure. Besides, I'm tired of always waiting for the Keyblade users to do everything.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

But I do know that for sure. Carelessness brings death, especially with an attitude like that.

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

And doing nothing brings about more death, so I think I'll go with the former.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

We're not "doing nothing." We're simply using caution is all. We need to know what we're dealing with before we strike.

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

We're not doing enough, either...

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

Have you any suggestions then? Aside from charging blindly into danger?

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

No, I don't, because I hardly know anything just like everyone else! Of course I don't have any suggestions. If I did, I wouldn't be talking about it, I would already be out there doing something. But even charging blindly is better than just...pretending we're not as powerless as we are.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

"Pretending we're not powerless?" But we are not powerless.

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

It feels that way.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

Just have patience. It may be a long road, but we will succeed.

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

"We"? What have we done, besides play defenders for the people who know what's going on and suffering without knowing why until later?

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

What have we done? Everything we can. We have survived this long; that must count for something.

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

There has to be more we can do.

[gunnerbrat]

What if you don't want to go back the world you left behind?

[mountain_sage]

[That's a curious question.]

Do you have a reason for not wanting to go back?

Video

[gunnerbrat]

I like it better here.

[ Neverland is a terrible place for the pirates]

Video

[mountain_sage]

I see. Well, I suppose it wouldn't be too much to ask to remain here.

Video

[gunnerbrat]

If I could convince my shipmates to join me.

[offrillsandswords]

Even more's happened before you arrived. A lot of it I wish I didn't have to remember.

[The random dancing springs to her mind.]

[mountain_sage]

Is that so? Is it...too much to speak of it?

video;

[offrillsandswords]

It's just a lot to take in and a lot a lady like me isn't fond of.

[conceptualizing]

That's a lot of optimism after a long list of negative events.

【 VIDEO 】

[mountain_sage]

It's better than letting the negative events drag us down. We'll never get anywhere otherwise.

[conceptualizing]

Point. [Yet Zero is sure this will be a wasted sentiment. He doubts they will win this.]
