==Synopsis==
The back page shows [[Naminé]]'s sketchbook and crayons.
Marluxia leaves, taking Naminé with him. Axel, though disappointed to see Marluxia gone, tells Sora of Marluxia's plan. Meanwhile, Marluxia restates his previous command: erase Sora's memory. Naminé refuses, enraging Marluxia.


Axel tells Sora to go after Marluxia. Sora is hesitant at first, still holding his Keyblade. Axel prepares to leave, expressing how he doesn't want to fight Sora. As he leaves, Axel wishes Sora good luck. Further down the hallway, numerous thorn stalks are wrapped around a large door. Sora unlocks the door with his Keyblade, finding a dark room filled with roses and sharp thorns. Also in the room is Naminé, constricted by the flowers. Marluxia steps into the light, explaining how the roses in this room reflect Naminé's feelings for Sora. He continues, saying that Naminé wanted this, instead of continuing to hurt Sora. Enraged, Sora begins attacking Marluxia. Shortly into their battle, Donald, Goofy, and Naminé are trapped by some of Marluxia's plants. Marluxia toys with Sora, saying their lives can be saved so long as he provides the correct answer. Donald shouts at Sora, telling him to worry about taking Marluxia out. Unable to hold off Sora, Marluxia again grabs Naminé, using her as a final defense. Sora jumps overhead, saving Naminé and striking Marluxia.
==Story==
[[Marluxia]] leaves with [[Naminé]], leaving [[Sora]] to fight [[Axel]]. Marluxia orders Naminé to erase Sora's memories, but she refuses. Axel doesn't want to fight Sora, and leaves. Thorns start to cover the door ahead. Sora uses his [[Keyblade]] to open it, and finds Naminé bound by roses. Marluxia appears, and Sora attacks him. Meanwhile, [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] help Naminé. Marluxia traps Donald and Goofy in venus flytraps, and tells Sora he just wants his help. However, Donald tells him not to worry about them, and Sora proceeds to attack Marluxia. In a final attempt, Marluxia threatens Naminé's life, but Sora manages to save her and strike Marluxia down.


With Marluxia gone, Naminé takes the trio to a different room, one containing three [[Memory Pod]]s. Naminé explains that in order to regain their memories, the group will have to sleep in these pods while she reconstructs their memories. Before stepping into his pod, Sora promises to see her again. As Sora begins to sleep, his memories of Kairi start to return...
Naminé shows Sora, Donald, and Goofy the pods where they have to sleep in to regain their memories. Sora promises he'll see Naminé again.


Riku has progressed further into the castle, now on the Destiny Islands. Riku runs into Zexion, who shortly transforms into Sora. Zexion begins to recall Riku's past with darkness. Riku, caught in Zexion's illusion, is attacked by a blinding light. Held in this light, Riku questions if he will be consumed by the light. A new voice speaks, claiming that although his darkness is deep, if Riku can accept it willingly, he will have a newfound strength unlike any other. Choosing to use both light and darkness, Riku finally accepts the darkness within him- releasing him from Zexion's illusion. Riku swiftly eliminates Zexion, claiming his true enemy was his own weak heart. Ansem then appears, asking Riku to become his servant once again. Riku refuses, and eventually defeats Ansem. Still trapped in the darkness, Riku is saved by King Mickey. Mickey reveals that [[Ansem the Wise|DiZ]] brought him here. DiZ introduces Riku to Naminé, who offers to seal Ansem in Riku's heart and memory. Riku declines, saying he would rather remove Ansem on his own. Riku then rejoins Mickey and DiZ. Doning black coats of their own, Riku and Mickey leave Castle Oblivion, walking forward, towards the slowly rising dawn.
Meanwhile, [[Riku]] explores the [[Destiny Islands]], where [[Zexion]] tells him he doesn't have the right to see his friends. Zexion shows him how he destroyed their islands, and an angry Sora appears and drowns him in light. A voice tells Riku to accept both light and darkness. Riku finally accepts the darkness, and breaks through Zexion's illusion. Zexion hopes he will join the Organization now, but Riku strikes him down with a single blow. Riku realizes what he has to face, and fights [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]. Ansem tries to control Riku again, but Riku manages to defeat Ansem. Riku is left in the darkness, but a light brings him back to [[Castle Oblivion]]. The light came from [[King Mickey]], having finally arrived, with the help of a man calling himself "[[DiZ]]". Riku recognizes DiZ as the one pretending to be Ansem.
