At the same time, they learn that Kairi has been kidnapped by Axel, who they run into in Hollow Bastion.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy, with help from Mickey, finally come across a link to the Organization's world through Twilight Town, where they find the alternate Twilight Town where Roxas had been kept by DiZ.
