At a windy balcony in Scala ad Caelum, Vidar approaches Odin and attempts to say goodbye - but Odin warns him that the thirteen ancient darknesses may be upon them soon. These darknesses are considered "true darkness", have no form, and are the source of most darkness in the world. Seven darknesses were imprisoned in the Lost Masters; four were trapped in the "Realm Between" of the data world; and two were supposedly destroyed with the collapse of the world, but there is no proof of that. Odin advises Vidar to recognize the differences between true darkness and other forms of darkness he might face. | At a windy balcony in Scala ad Caelum, Vidar approaches Odin and attempts to say goodbye - but Odin warns him that the thirteen ancient darknesses may be upon them soon.

Urd suggests finding Eraqus and Bragi, so Xehanort's group returns to Agrabah in search of them. Jafar approaches the group and, under the guise of saving Agrabah, requests that they search for the lamp in the Cave of Wonders. Xehanort feels the darkness of Jafar's greed, but nevertheless agrees so that the group can search a new area. In the Cave, Xehanort's group reunites with Eraqus and Bragi, who Jafar had also sent with the same mission. Bragi declares the mission a waste of time and starts to leave, but Urd suggests finding the lamp anyway, as it may be a world-order-essential object that the upperclassmen are targeting. Urd's suspicion is correct, as Vidar and Vor appear through a portal just as the underclassmen reach the lamp. Vidar explains that the upperclassmen need seven lights to defeat true darkness, but they have lost some lights - so they are seeking the objects in hopes of finding "true light" to replace them. Hermod berates Vidar for violating the worlds' orders, but Vidar asserts that following order led to the loss of his friends - he hopes only to defeat the darkness, that he might avenge them. Vidar asks that Eraqus join the upperclassmen in their shared goal of defeating darkness, but leaves with Vor before Eraqus can respond. Eraqus is shaken, but maintains his allegiance to the underclassmen. | |||

The Master takes Xehanort to the Keyblade Graveyard, where he introduces himself as a former Keyblade wielder. Xehanort is initially distrustful and summons his Keyblade, which the Master then summons out of Xehanort's hand and into his own, before returning it. He advises Xehanort to not go unprotected in corridors of darkness, and gifts him a black coat, which he remarks is less suited to combat than Keyblade Armor, but protects against much more darkness. He also requests that Xehanort look into people's hearts, to see how complex emotions or differences in power can harbor light or darkness. | The Master takes Xehanort to the Keyblade Graveyard, where he introduces himself as a former Keyblade wielder.

Some time later, Xehanort returns to the Keyblade Graveyard, and shares his findings with the Master of Masters. He claims that darkness lurks in every heart, and that people's darkness grows as the weak overcome the strong. However, Xehanort is unwilling to sit back and observe, believing that people must be ruled by darkness, or else the world would fall to chaos - and he believes himself necessary to make that change. He also feels imprinted in his heart a guide on what to do, and feels a familiarity with the black coat. The Master responds by accurately predicting that Xehanort will not need the coat soon, as he will be able to control darkness instead of needing protection from it. Xehanort questions the Master's prediction, and the Master reveals his name and status as a Lost Master before departing. | |||
