Prince: Difference between revisions

One year after the defeat of Ansem, the peace in Beast's castle is interrupted by a high-ranking Organization XIII member, [[Xaldin]], who infuriates the Beast by telling him that Belle will leave him, and that her feelings for him are not true. In his fury, the Beast throws his servants into the dungeon and frightens Belle to the point that she will not venture beyond the West Wing of the castle.

When Sora, Donald and Goofy arrive in Beast's Castle, they are ambushed by [[Shadow]] Heartless, but they are rescued by the Beast. However, despite having reached them, the Beast is not the least bit fascinated with seeing his old friends again. He shoves the three of them aside and reaches for his enchanted rose, which he takes back to his room in the West Wing.

After rescuing the castle's servants at Belle's request, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and the Beast's majordomo, Cogsworth, find the Beast in his room, being provoked by Xaldin. After battling the Beast to calm himself down, the Beast comes to his senses and decides to owe Belle an apology.

However, they don’t find Belle in her room. The Beast and company discover her running from the [[Shadow Stalker]] in the castle's ballroom. She retreats to the balcony as the Beast confronts Xaldin and takes on the Shadow Stalker that Xaldin sends after the group. After the fight, the Beast tells Belle he is sorry, who accepts the apology. However, Belle is still displeased with the Beast's lack of trust in her, and Sora leaves their world wondering if they will ever manage to work out their differences.

When Sora returns, he finds the Beast milling around in the main entrance. The Beast is dressed elegantly, and after a few hesitant grunts, he eventually confesses that he and Belle are on a date for the evening. Unfortunately, as the both of them begin to dance in the ballroom, Xaldin shows himself. The Beast charges at Xaldin, while Belle bemoans the Organization's interjection with her romantic evening. Following a different battle, Xaldin tells the Beast that something precious to him was gone. The Beast realizes Xaldin means the enchanted rose, and abandons his friends to check if his fear is true.

Sadly, in his despair, the Beast lashes out at Belle and Sora, telling them to leave his castle. While Belle walks to her room to prepare for her departure, Sora stays and convinces the Beast that he needs to show Xaldin who was boss. The Beast, realizing Sora's words are true, goes to look for Xaldin, who waits for them in the entrance hall. When Xaldin goes outside, the Beast follows him.

Meanwhile, Belle stands on the balcony outside of her room, lost in thought. When she sees Beast and the others emerge from the castle, she starts to run back inside, but she spots the rose sitting beside her door. She contentedly holds the rose over the balcony to show it to the Beast, but she’s grabbed from behind by Xaldin and whisked away to the castle's bridge soon after. Xaldin forces the Beast to either choose to save Belle or his rose; he chooses Belle. Fortunately, Belle catches Xaldin off-guard by painfully elbowing him in the stomach, allowing her the opportunity to grab the rose and run to safety, making certain the Beast loses neither her or the rose.

After a fierce confrontation with Xaldin which the Organization member lost, the Beast proudly takes his rose back from Belle. However, he is guilty of how he hollered at Belle. With a little encouragement from his friends, he bashfully asks her to stay with him. Belle smiles and accepts, and the both of them dance the night away in the castle courtyard.

Some time later, the Beast transforms back into the Prince while he is dancing with Belle.
