Even so, Ansem eventually constructed a large laboratory in the basement of his castle, encouraged by Ienzo. However, Ansem's six apprentices used the laboratory in order to conduct inhumane experiments on the human heart and the darkness within it. Ansem immediately ordered his apprentices to cease their experiments and sealed the chamber. Still, Ansem sank into despair over his error in experimenting on Xehanort. However, [[Gummi Ship]] travel was now possible, thanks to Xehanort opening the door in Ansem's basement, and a ruler of another world, [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]], soon arrived. The two rulers became great friends, conversing over many subjects, and their companionship began to heal Ansem's heart. King Mickey eventually advised Ansem the Wise to review the research data; Ansem discovered the [[Ansem Reports]], penned under his name, but written by Xehanort. Ansem began to see that the damage he had done had become irreversible. | Even so, Ansem eventually constructed a large laboratory in the basement of his castle, encouraged by Ienzo.

For some time, Ansem remained in the empty realm, constantly writing [[Secret Ansem Reports|his own reports]] in order to maintain his sanity. Here, he also discarded his old, stolen name, and became DiZ ("Darkness in Zero"). Eventually, he found a way to escape when he gained the power of darkness, though he did not intend to let himself be consumed by it like his apprentices.
