Sora, Donald, and Goofy use the Gummi Ship to arrive in Agrabah, where they've detected the presence of Heartless. Though Sora doubts his abilities as a hero, Goofy reassures him that a hero exists within everyone. Upon landing, Sora asks that Donald and Goofy keep a low profile, but they immediately start to loudly search the town for Riku and Kairi. The group quickly runs into Heartless such as [[Pot Spider]]s, Shadows, and [[Bandit]]s, and start to fight them off.

Sora spots Riku fighting a group of bandits with his black sword, which now has a wing-like shape similar to the [[Soul Eater]], and leaves a purple trail when swung. The two reunite with a hug, and Riku tells Sora that they need to get the magic lamp in order to find Kairi. The conversation is interrupted by [[Fat Bandit]]s that approach from both sides of the area, and Sora and Riku each decide to take one side. Donald and Goofy arrive to assist Sora, to Riku's confusion. He watches the trio from the other side of the room, the group of Heartless behind him staying still and not attacking. He dispels the stationary Heartless with a snap of his fingers just before Sora finishes the last Fat Bandit by casting Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder in quick succession. Sora introduces Riku to Donald and Goofy, and the group go to the Cave of Wonders to find the lamp.

Sora introduces Riku to Donald and Goofy, and the group go to the Cave of Wonders to find the lamp.


Riku reasons that Sora qualifies as a "diamond in the rough", and the cave's guardian agrees, granting access to the group. Sora and Riku arrive at the lamp chamber and race up the stairs, with Riku tripping Sora and being the first to grab the lamp. As he does, his eyes suddenly go white and the room darkens. A dark portal "to the realm of the Heartless" appears, and a Darkside among several other Heartless start to come through. Sora yells to Riku to put the lamp back, and a seemingly-possessed Riku responds that the power of the Heartless is both necessary to find Kairi and too strong for Sora to defeat. He tells Sora that he is not a hero, but Sora steels his resolve and declares that he is one. He charges up the stairs, defeating several Heartless as he does, and forcibly takes the lamp from Riku's hands. Riku frantically claims that he lost control upon touching the lamp, and begs Sora to believe him — but before Sora can respond, the Darkside grabs Riku and takes him through the dark portal. Sora places the lamp back on its pedestal and walks away.

Riku returns to Hollow Bastion with news of his failure. Maleficent asks if Sora believes Riku's claim, and Riku concedes that Sora has to. Maleficent maniacally laughs as the scene fades.
