{{tab|c}}{{tab|c}}
*'''Xehanort''': ''"We're not here to face any sentence. We want to talk."''
*'''Queen of Hearts''': ''"Talk!? I decide who I'll talk to, not you!"''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"You're in charge here, and we understand and respect that. We just have some questions."''
*'''Queen of Hearts''': ''"Go on."''
*'''Xehanort''': ''"You said before that—"''
*'''Queen of Hearts''': ''"Silence! I wasn't talking to you."''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"You said before that all ways here are your ways and everyone obeys your ways. Is that really true?"''
*'''Queen of Hearts''': ''"You dare to question my authority!?"''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"I'm just wondering if your heart is your own."''
*'''Queen of Hearts''': ''"My heart? Of course it is! After all, I'm the Queen of Hearts."''
*'''Xehanort''': ''"And that arrogance is yours as well? Or does it belong to a dark being inside of you, commanding you to act like this?"''
*'''Queen of Hearts''': ''"I give the commands here! I answer to no one!"''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"I just don't buy that your heart is rooted in darkness. I believe that people hold light in their hearts."''
[A dark aura appears behind the Queen of Hearts.]
*'''Queen of Hearts''': ''"Light? Darkness? Utter nonsense! No matter. As I've told you before, all ways here are my ways!"''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"All of them, huh?"''
*'''Xehanort''': ''"Maybe the darkness comes from her greed."''
*'''Queen of Hearts''': ''"Greed!? How dare you insult me!?"''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"Then what are you feeling now?"''
*'''Queen of Hearts''': ''"I'm...ANGRY! Angry at nosy brats like you. Angry at the useless imbeciles around me. You're infuriating when you do as you please! You should all do exactly as I say!"''
*'''Xehanort''': ''"(So her darkness doesn't come from greed. It comes from wrath.)"''
[A flashback to one of Master Odin's classes is shown.]
[Hermod raises his hand.]
*'''Hermod''': ''"So one's darkness is born from their innate qualities?"''
*'''{{kh|Master Odin}}''': ''"For some, yes. In ancient times, darkness hid within people and took control of their emotions. People were merely vessels, and darkness spread far and wide, infecting many."''
*'''Bragi''': ''"Like a disease."''
*'''Master Odin''': ''"Correct. However, as time passes, things changed. People's hearts began to birth darkness on their own."''
*'''Vor''': ''"The Heartless?"''
*'''Master Odin''': ''"Yes, the Heartless—the embodiment of the darkness in people's hearts. Over the course of many years, darkness and hearts became entangled."''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"Seems silly to give them a name. It's all the same anyway."''
[Urd raises her hand.]
*'''Urd''': ''"How is darkness born from people?"''
*'''Master Odin''': ''"It manifests from our negative emotions, such as greed, ire, or envy."''
*'''Master Odin''': ''"Most are capable of controlling their heart's deep-seated emotions, but it is not easy for some. Over the course of many moons, darkness reshaped human beings—who we are and what we could become."''
[The scene returns to the Queen's Castle.]
[The dark aura behind the Queen of Hearts disappears.]
*'''Xehanort''': ''"It smiled..."''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"Huh?"''
*'''Queen of Hearts''': ''"Enough! Off with their heads! Off with their heads!"''
[The dark aura returns and grows bigger. A Furious Reaper appears.]
*'''Eraqus''': ''"Is this the darkness in her heart?"''
*'''<Party member>''': ''"Is this her will?"''
*'''Xehanort''': ''"I don't know."''
*'''Queen of Hearts''': ''"Does no one listen!? I told you, my heart is mine!"''
*'''<Party member>''': ''"This looks familiar."''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"If it's the same one as before, this should be a piece of cake."''
*'''Xehanort''': ''"I don't think it is. Get ready!"''

*'''Hermod''': ''"What did we gain from this?"''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"I feel like we're a step closer to the truth."''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"Xehanort. Do you still think that learning more about the darkness will help us find the missing classmen?"''

[The six Keyblade wielders are gathered in Scala ad Caelum.]

*'''Bragi''': ''"So our goal is to pursue the darkness."''
*'''Urd''': ''"But you defeated your one lead, didn't you?"''
*'''Xehanort''': ''"There may be more than one dark entity. A single light can cast countless shadows."''

*'''Hermod''': ''"Hmm, I see."''
*'''Bragi''': ''"So our goal is to pursue the darkness."''
*'''Hermod''': ''"But you defeated your one lead, didn't you?"''
*'''Xehanort''': ''"There may be more than one dark entity. A single light can cast countless shadows."''
{{tab|c}}{{tab|c}}
*'''Xehanort''': ''"And as light's guardians, we may have a similar effect. The more we venture out into the world, the more darkness may follow in our wake."''
*'''Vor''': ''"Wait, so we're the reason darkness is being born?"''
*'''Xehanort''': ''"Well, it's just a theory."''
*'''Bragi''': ''"So the upper classmen might've also attracted darkness."''
*'''Xehanort''': ''"Yeah, it's a likely scenario."''
*'''Hermod''': ''"Right now, we have no idea where they are. But you're saying that if we want to pursue the darkness, it might lead us to them."''
*'''Urd''': ''"Well, hold on—where there's light, there's darkness. I get that."''
*'''Urd''': ''"And because darkness exists, light is essential—which is why we became Keyblade wielders in the first place. But there's a big difference between light leading to darkness and darkness leading to light."''
*'''Vor''': ''"Darkness can hide inside people, right? It doesn't seem like it'd be easy to track. It's not like we're chasing Heartless."''
*'''Bragi''': ''"Master Odin said, that when the negativity deep within someone's heart grows and can't be contained any longer, darkness is born. But we still don't know if the queen's darkness was her own, or if she's even aware of what's going on."''
*'''Xehanort''': ''"To tell you the truth, I don't know if that matters."''
*'''Hermod''': ''"Because darkness is darkness regardless of how it came to be?"''
*'''Xehanort''': ''"Exactly."''
*'''Xehanort''': ''"It looked to me like her darkness came from within. Or she could've welcomed it into her heart without knowing."''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"It's hard to tell. That's for sure."''
*'''Xehanort''': ''"But maybe it doesn't matter because in their world, an angry queen maintains order. The rule that light is right and darkness is wrong just doesn't hold true. It's a question of perspective—"''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"No. Darkness is bad and always has been. Don't forget who we are, Xehanort. We're light's guardians, and it's our duty to protect it. I hope you're not losing sight of that."''
*'''Xehanort''': ''"I'm not, don't worry. What I'm getting at is that if the missing students found themselves facing darkness, and darkness was that world's order, then it's possible they were defeated."''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"No way!"''
*'''Hermod''': ''"Calm down, Eraqus."''
*'''Hermod''': ''"Remember, our mission is to find them."''
*'''Hermod''': ''"That was Master Odin's request. But if searching for them means delving further into the mysteries of darkness and considering all the possibilities, then that's what we'll do. Are we all on the same page?"''
[Everyone nods.]

[A week ago]
[Baldr, the seventh lower classman, is staring out over the water.]
*'''Far-off voice''': ''"Hey, Baldr. What're you doing here?"''
*'''{{kh|Baldr}}''': ''"Oh, hey, Eraqus."''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"Something on your mind?"''
*'''Baldr''': ''"Yeah. My sister left for her Mark of Mastery exam. But I have this really bad feeling about it."''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"It's that time already, huh? Shouldn't you be excited for her? I can't wait to get out there!"''
*'''Baldr''': ''"The thing is, before she left, she told me that the ones who return will be made Keyblade Masters."''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"Huh,"''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"that kinda sounds like they're not expecting everyone to come back..."''
*'''Baldr''': ''"Yeah. It doesn't feel like a trip to broaden their horizons. Maybe the trip itself is the test. Or even a mission?"''
*'''Baldr''': ''"All I know is, it doesn't sound like the Mark of Mastery exam we learned about."''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"Hmm, I wonder what's going on. We could ask Master Odin, but I doubt he'll tell us."''
*'''Baldr''': ''"Ever since my sister left, I've been worried sick that she'll be lost to darkness. And that I'll never see her again."''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"Darkness?"''
*'''Baldr''': ''"Oh, that's right. Your grandfather battled the darkness, didn't he? That's how he—"''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"I...I don't know exactly what happened to him. It's just that when I hear darkness may be close by, I get anxious. Maybe hating darkness is in my blood."''
*'''Baldr''': ''"Sorry, I didn't mean to bring up a painful subject."''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"Don't worry, it's okay."''
*'''Eraqus''': ''"Your sister's gonna be fine. I'm sure of it."''
*'''Baldr''': ''"I hope so."''
