Sometime later, Maleficent attempts to travel back into the past of her world in order to undo her mistakes and failures.

However, she instead ends up in the data simulation of [[Enchanted Dominion]] created by the [[Book of Prophecies]]. Unaware of this, Maleficent is confused by [[Pete]]'s absence, but is confident [[Sora]] cannot interfere with this world. After failing to alter her past, Maleficent seethes with anger over it. An unknown figure known simply as {{c|Darkness|character}} appears before her, revealing that this is a trap created by the [[Master of Masters]] to prevent anyone from changing what was written in the book. It also reveals the laws of time travel; there must have been a version of herself back where she wanted to go. It was only thanks to her meeting [[Master Xehanort]] and getting stabbed by the [[Keyblade of heart]] that she was able to accomplish this much. However, as her presence would cause problems, the figure prepares to send her back to her original time. | ||
The two then travel the Dandelions' base in Daybreak Town, where the dark figure reveals the location of the key that will bring Maleficent back to her true world is. Darkness leads her to the lifeboat, a capsule that will send her heart to her proper time; once there, those who know of Maleficent will facilitate the restoration of her body. They are interrupted by [[Lauriam]], who Maleficent defeats so she can steal her way back home. | The two then travel the Dandelions' base in Daybreak Town, where the dark figure reveals the location of the key that will bring Maleficent back to her true world is.

She curses Sora with a deadly poison, forcing him to search the worlds for an antidote, and also conjures [[Sora's shadow]] to disrupt his efforts. When Sora finally makes it to her lair, [[Maleficent's Castle]], Maleficent steals his Keyblade and tricks Sora into activating a machine that will spread darkness throughout the worlds. Ultimately, Sora defeats Maleficent in her dragon form, deactivates the machine, and concocts the antidote, once again foiling Maleficent's evil scheme. | ||

Another important aspect of Maleficent's character is her superiority complex, which, while shared by many Disney Villains, she takes to the extreme. This is readily apparent in nearly every instance in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' whenever the subject of [[Nobodies]] and [[Organization XIII]] is brought up and when she faces them personally. Maleficent's narcissism extends to any Heartless she commands, despite the all-too-obvious difference in power and capabilities of Nobodies in general over the Heartless. | Another important aspect of Maleficent's character is her superiority complex, which, while shared by many Disney Villains, she takes to the extreme.

Thus, her views of the Organization as insignificant could be, to her, quite true. Ironically, the Organization seems to view her the same way that she views them: as a relatively insignificant threat, shown when [[Saïx]] calmly summons some Nobodies to destroy Maleficent's Heartless and smugly calls her a fool. In contrast to Pete, she possesses extreme and completely legitimate confidence, while her minion is a weakling and doubts their chances of success. Despite Ansem's claim that the Heartless were using Maleficent, Maleficent believes she has full command over them. | ||
Regardless, Maleficent can show caution and restraint. She never takes direct action against her enemies unless it’s absolutely necessary; instead, she leaves it to allies and minions. Maleficent never challenges a worthy foe unless she has the upper hand, like a hostage to use as a shield. Again, Maleficent shows caution by using an astral projection to check on the progress of her takeover of [[Disney Castle]], as the [[Cornerstone of Light]] is risky to her. | Regardless, Maleficent can show caution and restraint.

Although she is the most | Although she is the most powerful of the Disney Villains, Maleficent prefers using sorcery or employing minions to fighting directly. However, her great rage and lust for power allows her to take on the form of a monstrous dragon when necessary. If she is dealt enough damage, Maleficent will revert to her original form. | ||
In terms of combat prowess, Maleficent is a fearsome opponent when in her dragon form. While she has proven her ability to defeat agents of light, killing four of [[Odin]]'s apprentices, she has been bested numerous times by other wielders of the Keyblade. | In terms of combat prowess, Maleficent is a fearsome opponent when in her dragon form.
