Story[edit]
Kingdom Hearts III[edit]
The Gummiphone is a phone made up ofGummi Blocks, allowing for communication across different worlds. It had been a project ofChip and Dale's some time beforeDream Drop Distance and completed by2.9.Mickey andRiku were given a Gummiphone before they left to rescue Aqua in therealm of darkness, while another one was given toSora and another toIenzo. Chip, Dale, and Ienzo bring Sora up to date onAnsem's Code and askJiminy to teach Sora how to use it.
After savingHayner,Pence andOlette from aDemon Tide, Sora tries to take a photo with them. However, he goofs up and initially believes the camera worked on a timer. Goofy takes the picture, with a scowling Donald included with the quartet. Olette sees aLucky Emblem in the background, which Sora, Donald and Goofy recognize asthe King's symbol.
When attempting to access thevirtual Twilight Town, Sora gets a call from Ienzo, who was alerted that someone was trying to access the DTD from another computer. Talking with Pence over the Gummiphone, Ienzo establishes a link with both computers, allowing him more data to crack the Code and reconstruct Roxas's heart.
Sora attempts to call Ienzo to find out about getting a body for Roxas's heart. However, he gets the King and Riku instead; they fill him in onreplicas, while Sora updates them on Maleficent and the Organization's search for theBlack Box.
Having grown impatient with not regaining thepower of waking, Sora considers calling Riku to find a way into the Realm of Darkness. Ienzo calls, revealing a portion of Ansem's Code states three hearts reside within Sora's heart. After their recent run in withVanitas, Goofy decides the second heart belongs toVentus; though Sora is clueless who the third heart is.
After arriving inSan Fransokyo, Sora attempts to call Riku to tell him how amazing the sights are. However, he is stopped by a Heartless attack.
Having lost contact with the King and Riku in theDark World, a concerned Chip and Dale call Sora to tell him the news. As the trio debate over how to go help, Chip and Dale explain that the King could get into the Dark World because his Keyblade came from that realm.
Aqua,Ventus,Kairi, and Lea are later given Gummiphones with summaries about everything that has happened in the last decade to help clear up confusion.Ienzo later lends his Gummiphone toDemyx to be used as proof he is on the Guardians of Light's side while looking for replicas at the Keyblade Graveyard.
