+[Xehanort, Eraqus, and Vor approach the Magic Mirror.]
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"So this is it."''
+*'''Magic Mirror''': ''"What wouldst ye know?"''
+[Eraqus runs up to the Magic Mirror.]
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Ooh, can I go first? I want to know how to beat Xehanort in chess!"''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"...Eraqus."''
+*'''Vor''': ''"...Eraqus."''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"It's a game with black and white pieces called Alba and Ater and—"''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"Please ignore him."''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Aww..."''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"We're looking for some classmates who went missing. Do you know where they are?"''
+*'''Magic Mirror''': ''"The friends you seek travel hither and yon. Along separate paths, alone they forge on."''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"So they're on their own. Let's see if we can at least track down one of them."''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Can you tell us where Vidar is?"''
+*'''Magic Mirror''': ''"The one—"''
+*'''The Queen''': ''"Silence! Must I remind you whom you serve!?"''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Who're you?"''
+[The Queen enters the room.]
+*'''The Queen''': ''"Insolent boy! From this castle I rule all."''
+[The Queen walks past the others to the Magic Mirror.]
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Oh, um... Well, we—uh—we heard about the mirror and wanted to check it out."''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Do you mind if we ask a few questions?"''
+*'''The Queen''': ''"You barge into my keep and dare ask a favor? The Mirror is mine... and mine alone!"''
+*'''The Queen''': ''"Mmm... But you may approach this once... if you wish."''
+[The Queen smashes a potion against the mirror.]
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"I have a bad feeling about this."''
+*'''The Queen''': ''"Magic Mirror on the wall, consume these fools once and for all!"''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Huh!?"''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"What!?"''
+*'''Vor''': ''"Hey!"''
+[A bright light shines from the mirror and pulls Xehanort, Eraqus, and Vor in.]
+[The three end up in the mirror.]
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Where are we?"''
+*'''Vor''': ''"Not in the castle, that's for sure."''
+[The Magic Mirror's giant face appears, shooting a fireball, which Xehanort deflects with his Keyblade.]
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"Look out!"''
+[Vor summons her Keyblade.]
+*'''Vor''': ''"It's the Magic Mirror!"''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Why does it reek of darkness?"''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"I doubt it's gonna answer any of our questions now. You two ready?"''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"You bet!"''
+*'''Vor''': ''"Of course!"''

+[Xehanort, Eraqus, and Vor end up outside the mirror. They slowly dismiss their Keyblades.]
+*'''Vor''': ''"Are we back?"''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"I think so."''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Phew! It looks like she's gone too. All right, let's find out where Vidar is."''
+[Xehanort nods and approaches the mirror when they hear a voice behind them.]
+*'''{{kh|Vidar}}''': ''"That's not necessary."''
+[The three turn around and find Vidar.]
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Vidar!"''
+*'''Vidar''': ''"Hi, everyone."''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"We've been looking for you!"''
+*'''Vidar''': ''"I figured you'd show up. Master Odin sent you, right?"''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Yeah. ...Wait, you knew? Then why didn't you just come home?"''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"Are you alone?"''
+*'''Vidar''': ''"You must be Xehanort."''
+*'''Vidar''': ''"The visitant."''
+*'''Vidar''': ''"I see why you caught the Master's eye. There's something...different about you."''
+*'''Vidar''': ''"And you, Vor. There's something on your mind, isn't there?"''
+*'''Vidar''': ''"You're wondering if you really belong with these friends of yours. Why not join us instead, then?"''
+*'''Vor''': ''"Huh?"''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"What are you talking about?"''
+[Eraqus grabs Vidar's arm.]
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Aren't you coming back with us?"''
+[Vidar brushes off Eraqus's hand.]
+*'''Vidar''': ''"I can't. Not yet. There's something I have to do."''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"What is it?"''
+*'''Vidar''': ''"You'll see."''
+*'''Vidar''': ''"I need your help. What do you say?"''
+[Vidar holds out his arm to Vor.]
+*'''Vor''': ''"I...I belong..."''
+[Eraqus steps between Vor and Vidar.]
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Vor, you're coming with us, right?"''
+*'''Vor''': ''"Actually, I...I asked the mirror a question of my own."''
+[A flashback shows of Vor's first visit to the mirror's chamber.]
+*'''Vor''': ''"Maybe... it can help me too."''
+[Vor approaches the mirror.]
+*'''Vor''': ''"Can I ask you something?"''
+*'''Magic Mirror''': ''"What wouldst thou know?"''
+*'''Vor''': ''"Will I ever become a Keyblade Master?"''
+*'''Magic Mirror''': ''"With friends thy heart doth lie, content and free of woe. In comfort stagnant calm, forward thou fail to go."''
+*'''Vor''': ''"That's not true!"''
+[Vor angrily runs close to the mirror.]
+*'''Vor''': ''"I want to become a Keyblade Master as much as everyone else. Stop making things up!"''
+*'''Magic Mirror''': ''"No power have I save to offer what is true."''
+*'''Vor''': ''"...Oh."''
+[The flashback ends.]
+*'''Vor''': ''"Lately, I've started to realize how I really feel. I like what we have now, but if we all keep studying and eventually pass the exam, we'll go our separate ways."''
+*'''Vor''': ''"And I'm not sure I'm ready for that."''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Vor, you and I— we're never gonna change. Isn't that right?"''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"Change is inevitable. You should embrace it and learn to build new relateionships."''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"...That's not what you were supposed to say."''
+*'''Vor''': ''"Thanks, Eraqus. Thanks, Xehanort."''
+*'''Vor''': ''"...I've made up my mind. The longer I stay in this bubble, the harder it'll be for me to leave."''
+[Vor walks off.]
+*'''Vor''': ''"Let's go, Vidar."''
+[Vidar follows Vor through a Corridor of Light.]
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"Her heart and her mind are made up."''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Vor..."''
+[Eraqus thinks back on their time in class.]
+*'''Vor''': ''"So... why do you all want to become Keyblade Masters?"''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"It was more of an obligation at first. Like a family tradition. But now, I know in my heart that I need to become one and put an end to darkness once and for all."''
+*'''{{kh|Bragi}}''': ''"Serious much?"''
+*'''Bragi''': ''"For me, it's easy. I want to do what's right."''
+*'''{{kh|Urd}}''': ''"I agree that power and justice go hand in hand. My dream is to learn and explore. If I become a Keyblade Master, I'll be able to see all the worlds for myself."''
+*'''{{kh|Baldr}}''': ''"I want to protect what's important to me."''
+*'''{{kh|Hermod}}''': ''"What you all said. Plus, I want to uphold the greater order. Simple as that."''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"I don't know why. But...I have friends... I want to see again."''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Wait, why would you need to become a Keyblade Master for that?"''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Fine, don't tell me. Vor, what about you?"''
+*'''Vor''': ''"Oh, me? I..."''
+*'''Vor''': ''"I'm not telling!"''
+*'''Vor''': ''"Wishes don't come true if you say them out loud. So now none of you will get to become Keyblade Masters. Ha!"''
+*'''Eraqus''': ''"Hey! No fair!"''
+[Eraqus chases Vor around the classroom.]
+[Back in the present, Xehanort and Eraqus leave the castle.]
+:[64 years later]
+[Master Xehanort enters the mirror chamber through a Corridor of Darkness.]
+*'''Magic Mirror''': ''"What wouldst thou know?"''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"Do you recognize me?"''
+*'''Magic Mirror''': ''"A young boy then, now a man grown. Fewer hairs grace thy head, but you are known."''
+[Master Xehanort touches his head.]
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"A demonstration of my resolve."''
+*'''Magic Mirror''': ''"What else wouldst thou know?"''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"Over the years, I have lost many comrades. Some passed on, while others chose a different path."''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"However, there will always be a special place in my heart... for those friends I never met save in my dreams as a young lad."''
+[Master Xehanort walks up to the mirror.]
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"Alas, my efforts to find them have been in vain. I don't even know their names. But I can see their faces still."''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"I ask you: did they ever exist, or were they merely a figment of my imagination?"''
+*'''Magic Mirror''': ''"Much lies beyond our world,<br>Even more beyond our time,<br>Some in this world reside,<br>Their toll has yet to chime."''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"How can you be sure? Without even their names?"''
+*'''Magic Mirror''': ''"Your heart speaks more clearly than your words."''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"Where are they now?"''
+*'''Magic Mirror''': ''"Where indeed?"''
+[A wasteland covered in Keyblades is shown.]
+*'''Magic Mirror''': ''"Amongst an ocean of keys on a vast barren land,"''
+*'''Magic Mirror''': ''"a boy bearing great light and darkness doth stand."''
+*'''Xehanort''': ''"The Keyblade Graveyard!"''
+[Master Xehanort summons a Corridor of Darkness and leaves.]
