Story
Sora's sacrifice releases the hearts of all seven princesses, causing them to regain consciousness. Kairi wakes up and sees Sora falling. She tries to catch him, but he fades away, as he falls into darkness. Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, now in his own body, tells them the Keyhole is complete, and plans to attack them. However, Riku's spirit holds him back, as he tells Kairi to run. Donald and Goofy lead Kairi away, as darkness erupts from the Keyhole. Elsewhere in the castle, Beast sees the darkness. As Donald, Goofy, and Kairi reach the Entrance Hall, they notice a single Shadow following them. Kairi recognizes it as Sora, and hugs it, giving Sora back his body. Beast has reached the Keyhole, and meets Belle and the other princesses, who tell him they're struggling to hold back the darkness. Sora returns to the Keyhole, Keyblade in hand, ready to seal it.
