Upon finding the lamp, Vidar and Vor arrive and reveal that they indeed stealing the artifacts to upset the world order in hopes of identifying pure light that surfaces from the ensuing chaos. While Vidar allows the lowerclassmen to keep the lamp, he also encourages Eraqus, knowing of his extreme allegiance to the light, to continue the mission, even if it means creating chaos for the sake of destroying the darkness. Upon Vidar and Vor leaving, Eraqus contemplates it, but with the persuasion of his friends, eventually refuses to partake in Vidar's goals.

Deciding to return to Scala and discuss their findings with Ordin, the wielders are shocked to learn from Odin that Vidar is attempting to locate seven pure lights and thirteen darknesses in an effort to summon Kingdom Hearts and purge all worlds of True Darkness, the source of all darkness and the main instigators of the ancient [[Keyblade War]]. Believing that this is beyond the scope of the wielder's abilities, Ordin asks them to cease their mission while he contemplates what to do next. In truth, Ordin had actually manipulated Vidar to begin his mission to summon Kingdom Hearts, believing that this would facilitate the rise of the prophesized Seeker of Darkness.

Refusing to simply give up, the classmen meet outside to discuss their next move. During their discussion, Baldr show up, claiming that he has been away on a mission to study the darkness as instructed by Ordin. Baldr eventually reveals that he followed his sister, one of the upperclassmen, on her quest throughout the worlds, afraid that she would not return. However, upon catching up with her in [[Enchanted Dominion]], he claims to have witnessed her death at the hands of a demonic dragon, alongside three other upperclassmen. Revealing that he stumbled upon a world that contains an underworld of lost spirits, Baldr directs the group to search this world, [[Olympus Coliseum]], in an attempt to make contact with the spirits of the slain wielders.

Traveling to this world, the group encounters Lord of the Dead, [[Hades]], and, upon successfully winning a tournament, are transported to the underworld. Once there, Xehanort, Eraqus, and Bragi encounter and fight [[Cerberus]], only to be saved by Baldr. Baldr and Bragi encourage Xehanort and Eraqus to go on without them, which they eventually agree to. Upon escaping, Xehanort begins to openly suspect that something simply isn't adding up, but does not let Eraqus know his suspicions on Baldr just yet. Xehanort and Eraqus encounter the souls of the three slain upperclassmen, who reveal that a dark fairy who cursed that world's princess seems to be responsible for their deaths. However, the classmen also believe that something much more sinister was responsible, pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Imploring for Xehanort and Eraqus to find the truth, the three classmen finally depart.

When Xehanort, Eraqus, Urd and Hermod run into Hades again, he attempts to make them permanent residents of the underworld, until a dark corridor suddenly opens and sucks the wielders in. Within the corridor, Urd and Hermod are suddenly and viscously slain by a figure cloaked in darkness. Xehanort and Eraqus almost fall victim to the same figure until Ordin appears and rescues the pair, bringing them back to Scala.

Mourning their losses, Ordin is horrified to learn that Xehanort and Eraqus encounter Baldr, who was meant to stay in the infirmary after the loss of his sister, revealing that Baldr lied about being sent on a mission to investigate the darkness. Scala is then suddenly attacked by the forces of darkness. While Ordin summons the [[No Name]] Keyblade and leaves to deal with the threat, Xehanort reveals that he suspected that Baldr had been corrupted by darkness following the death of his sister and is now picking off their fellow classmates.

Upon Xehanort and Eraqus going outside to observe the chaos and carnage enveloping Scala, Vidar appears and reveals that he has given up on his quest to summon Kingdom Hearts and knew Baldr had been possessed by darkness, refusing to slay the brother of one of his best friends and instead attempted to purge all darkness via Kingdom Hearts, before giving up out of remorse and fear. Eraqus is infuriated that Vidar knew all this time and blamed him for everything, but was eventually brought back to his senses by Xehanort.

Baldr then appears, completely possessed by darkness, which reveals that it, not Maleficent, slayed Baldr's sister in front of him and the three other upperclassmen and slowly corrupted Baldr while he was in the infirmary until it had complete control over him as a vessel, using him to murder the other wielders and convert them into darkness as well. Baldr departs for the tower, leaving behind several heartless to keep the wielder occupied. Upon defeating the heartless, Vidar reveals that Vor went to the tower to report back to Ordin, shocking Xehanort and Eraqus, and leaves to save her.

By the time Xehanort and Eraqus arrive at the tower, they are too late and witness Baldr unleash a heartless to murder Vidar, the three remaining upperclassmen, and Vor. Tearfully saying goodbye to Vor, Xehanort and Eraqus confront Baldr at the top of the tower who reveals his true plans. The darkness controlling Baldr was manipulating Vidar to summon Kingdom Hearts, knowing he would never slay the brother of a friend and would resort to purging the darkness instead. It then murdered Vidar's fellow upperclassmen to further incentivize him to locate the seven lights, while the darkness worked to gather 13 darknesses by slaying the other wielders. However, Vidar got cold feet in summoning Kingdom Hearts, leaving the darkness no choice but to reveal itself and finish the job itself. Revealing that it wants Kingdom Hearts because once its power is unleashed and all worlds are purged and destroyed, the world will be reborn in darkness and allow it to restructure the world towards its designs.

While Xehanort is finally able to gain the upper hand on Baldr, the darkness clouds Xehanort's mind, revealing to him that it's not one of the ancient darknesses, but a new variant formed from the the wielders and Baldr's doubt and sensitivity to other hearts. Revealing that darkness has been able to grow in this manner through others and that Xehanort himself would be a worthy vessel, the darkness is then shocked to find Baldr's sister's heart has taken residence in Xehanort's, in an attempt to get her brother free. While Baldr is temporary restored to his senses and restrained by Ordin, Baldr reveals that he felt destined to darkness with so many light-obsessed wielders by his side. The darkness eventually overtakes him once again and snuffs out the remaining light of his sister's spirit.

Xehanort, rather than purge the darkness from Baldr, slays him to end the conflict for good. With Baldr's death, Xehanort and Eraqus are the only wielders left, leaving Ordin a broken man, and Xehanort and Eraqus miserable at the loss of all their friends. Over the next month, Xehanort and Eraqus shut themselves in their rooms and often visited the graves of their fallen comrades and friends, leaving flowers each time. Eventually reconnecting again, Xehanort and Eraqus resolved to continue their training and become Keyblade Masters, with Ordin preparing to conduct their Mark of Mastery Exams in the next several years.

Four years later, Xehanort visited the graves of his fallen comrades once more. 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.
