"Tell him I'm on it." *Before Dado even got a chance to say this, Kingdom Key had already materialized in his hand. He spun it, formchanging it into his Battle Glider: a hovering trick scooter. Without another word, he began racing through Traverse Town.*

*Along the way, a mob of Heartless materialized, ready to catch him in a speed trap. He grimaced. Why did everything always need him all at once?*

*He kicked the back of the glider, sending the base spinning around the handle like a buzzsaw. Carrying his momentum into a full-tilt sprint, he swung the deady gyroscope around himself. It tore the Hearts directly out of the Heartless, leaving behind only a dark shrouding cloud.*

*He swung it below himself, jumping back on it and speeding off to Second District.*

*After the race through downtown, he now stands, Kingdom Key in hand, running through the hotel doors.*

"Where's Cid?!"
Michelle
*Dado would eventually find Cid standing outside of one of the bigger rooms of the Hotel.*

"Well that was fast. Good t' know you're quick to help. We have a bad... Situation."
Lydia
"Yeah. What's the situation?" *Dado looks concerned. Cid's text screamed "Emergency".*
Thomas
"Aerith an' Yuffie were out patrolling, normal stuff y'know. Makin' sure people are safe from Heartless an' all that. But that is when they found a kid passed out on the ground! They worried he got hurt from a heartless but... Well, there is no easy way to say this. His heart is frozen..."

*Cid sighed, shaking his head and turning around to open the door.*

"But we found he ain't the only one..."

*Opening the door, Dado could see dozens of kids in the room, all passed out and being looked over by Aerith, Yuffie, and Tifa. Leon and Cloud would be there too, thinking to themselves.*

"Merlin said even he couldn't undo it..."
Lydia
*Dado's eyes widen in horror. At least a classroom's worth of kids, all comatose. What did this...?*

"Okay. Frozen Hearts. Great. I have literally no idea what that even is."

*The Keyblade can lock or unlock anything, including Hearts. From everything he knows, they're strongly connected to the Heart. What if...*

*He puts a hand over a kid's chest, trying to feel for a seal of some sort. If that's the case, the solution may be trivial.*
Michelle
*Dado could feel a frozen barrier around the heart of the kid, clearly being some kind of seal. From whag he could tell, it was by keyblade.*
Thomas
"Dado... While this may be hard to hear... I called you here for another reason... You told me to tel you if I might have any leads and..."
Michelle
*Dado could feel something from beyond the barrier, something familiar... Pure light. Purer than others. A princesses light... And a very familiar one..*
Lydia
*Dado pales. It couldn't be...*

*Wordlessly, he gently taps the kid's chest with Kingdom Key to remove the seal on their Heart.*

"What's your lead, Cid?" *Dado's voice is shaky.*
Michelle
*As Dado tried to unlock the kid's heart with his keyblade, a sudden mini explosion of magical ice would blast Dado into a wall. Aerith and Tifa ran over to check on him.*

Yuffie:"Thaaaat looked like a trap... We may need her to unlock them herself... Speaking of which, I noticed that the areas we found the kids had been colder than usual. And the colder areas are where the more recent children have been."

Leon:"  ....Currently others who left that area recently noted it felt like when Elsa froze the entire town. She is likely there."

Aerith:"But wait... Dado, you have to have her undo this quickly. I can feel the darkness within these kids being eaten away. If it finishes, these kids could be like this forever... Some hearts can have no darkness, yes, but for most, darkness is apart of our hearts. Without something else to fill that fractured area..."
Thomas
"Alright that's enough of that. We need to get movin'. These kids ain't gonna save emselves!"
Lydia
*Oh my god, she boobytrapped it. This fucking bitch...*

*Dado starts laughing softly. It picks up, until he doubles over. Credit where credit's due, she did a great job. He would've never thought of that.*

"I'll go on ahead. Whichever two of you are closest to Fiora, you can catch up. The other three, monitor the kids and text us if anything goes wrong. Cid, give everyone here my contact information."

*Shaking his head with a half grin on his face, Dado bolts out of the hotel, then zooms off on his Glider.*
