Then, he was alerted with news that his sister is alive by Elrena and her Chirithy seeing her walking with someone in a [[Black coat|black coat]]. Shocked at first but aware that they are in data Daybreak Town and remembering the Pride Shift the Union leaders knew that all their data was here as well meaning someone could've accessed Strelitzia's. Hopeful that Strelitzia could be alive and worried about the stated of the world. The group head to basement below and found what Darkness said was true as the world was being destroyed seeing the condition of the Ark room there were five pods left but with so many trapped, little time left and trying to keep hope alive the Union leaders separate. Brain heads to the real world with Lauriam, Elrena and Ventus while Ephemer, Skuld and Player watch over the dandelions until Brain can free them before leaving he gives the [[Master's Defender]] keyblade and the Book of Prophecies to Ephemer. | ||

Soon after Brain is met upon Luxu who warns him that the Ark is incomplete and to use it properly the senders must have a medium and someone who remembers them at their destination and as for the data world being locked. Meanwhile the three friends are attacked by the remaining willful darknesses who wanted them to open the gate so they can spread but Ephemer, Skuld and Player refused but remembering their first encounter realizing they had little chance to survive and desperate to save their friends. In a ploy to seal the darknesses away Player pretended to controlled by them and attacked Skuld and Ephemer before delivering the final blow Ephemer tearfully sends them through a gate along with the remaining darknesses. Inside the cable Player revealed deception and seals the gate trapping them and reunited with their Chirithy one more time enveloped in light. Meanwhile as the two pods appear Ephemer and Skuld head for the real world to find them alone checking on the condition outside they see the world is being destroyed and like the others they attempt to leave for the future as the tower crumbles around them. | ||
After the destruction, Daybreak Town is left underwater with Ephemer waking up, Lauriam wakes up in a field of flowers, Elrena is still unconscious on a stormy mountain, Ventus is still unconscious in the Keyblade Graveyard found by an unknown person leaving Skuld unaccounted for.

When Player sees a glimpse of the future they decide to reincarnate saying goodnight to their Chirithy. Soon Luxu is seen walking through the Keyblade Graveyard with the Black Box and No Name Keyblade revealing that he has Brain's face. | ||

===Xehanort's Path as a Dark Seeker=== | ===Xehanort's Path as a Dark Seeker=== | ||
For unknown reasons as a baby Xehanort was sent to [[Destiny Islands]] by a cloaked figure who watched him grow into a young man until he passed away. Over the years growing up due to the merging of hearts Xehanort continued to have dreams of Player's memories of the Keyblade War as well as seeing people and worlds he didn't know wanting answers and viewing his island to being so small he desired to see these worlds. Until one day he was visited by [[his future self|Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] who offered him a way off the island and accepted soon Xehanort experienced his first taste of darkness his heart being affected by powerful negative emotions despite being horrified he was fascinated too aware that his heart could still feel. He also believed that with a strong enough heart darkness could be channeled and controlled. | |||
He returned to his birthplace Scala ad Caelum The dark corridor eventually dropped Xehanort at Scala ad Caelum, where he was taken in by Keyblade Master Odin, becoming his seventh apprentice. During the course of his training, Xehanort eventually came to see his fellow pupil Eraqus as a brother. The two often spent their time playing Alba & Ater between training. The Master taught Xehanort and his fellow classmates the ways of the Keyblade, and that their role as Keyblade wielders was to protect the worlds of light from darkness. However, this answer was unsatisfactory to Xehanort, and he often visited other worlds without permission to learn more. Initially, Xehanort wore Keyblade Armor during his travels, to protect himself from the darkness between worlds. | |||
One day Master Odin informed everyone that the upperclassmen of Keyblade wielders had gone missing, including the sister of a fellow classmate, Baldr, and that his apprentices were to split into two groups to search the worlds. Xehanort traveled with Eraqus and another apprentice, heading to Agrabah first. Xehanort quickly realized that the world was still being reborn from the destruction of the Keyblade War, as no humans were in the world. Their search continued to Wonderland, where they avoided the insanity of the Queen of Hearts, but left Xehanort pondering if slaying those controlled by darkness is also necessary to protect the world. | |||
Four years later, Xehanort visited the graves of his four fallen comrades. Eraqus tells him their demise wasn't his fault. However, Xehanort reveals his plan to go out into the worlds to learn more before their Mark of Mastery exam; Eraqus tells him to be back before the exam. This trip took Xehanort to Wonderland, where time had barely passed since his first visit. Still seeing the Queen of Hearts being influenced by darkness, Xehanort willingly approached her. | |||
