Soul rushed into the city, watching merchants close up shop and run, being some of the last people in sight. He grabs one by the arm and asks:

Which direction is the palace in? Quickly, it could help save everyone.

The frightened merchant points to a path on their left, and scurries away as Soul drops him to continue his search. As he rounds a corner, a small shop collapses as three Heartless Soldiers flash into existence.

I don't have any time for you. Soul mutters under his breath.

With the palace in sight, he tries to rush past them, but they block his path.

Well, I guess today just got longer.

Soul sighs as he rushes the three Soldiers, hoping it's the right decision.

As he was dodging citizens, running through the city, Soul could see the giant plume of red smoke rise above the desert. As he exited the city, he rushed past the beings he recognized as Sone and Leon analyzing the scene before them.

When he ran past them, he shouted, Whether we have a plan or not, we can't allow a deity such as Jafar to reach the city. C'mon, we could use all the help we can get.

When he turned back to face Jack, Tylan, and Warren, he saw them getting closer to the Nocturne army. He sped up his pace as to catch up before the army engulfed the small group.

When he reached them, he faced Jack as he summoned Loneliness and asked,

Whoever can use magic, touch my Keyblade and focus on transferring this message to Celine: "Find Aladdin and alert him of the threat." It'll reach her.
