Lea has a dream of [[Roxas]] reminding Axel of the promise he made to him and [[Xion]], to always be there to bring them back, and he awakens, with his memories of his time as Axel intact. Discovering that four of the founding members of Organization XIII, Aeleus, [[Even]], Dilan and [[Ienzo]], have been recompleted as well, Lea notices that [[Braig]] and Isa are missing and decides to look for them. After talking with Aeleus in Ansem the Wise's study, he finds out there is no one else in the Castle. Deciding to check the castle grounds, Lea is told by Aeleus not to bother. Ienzo explains to Lea if Braig and Isa were recompleted, they would have appeared in the same place as the others. This makes Lea wonder if Braig and Isa could have been "blasted off to some other world", which Ienzo explains is possible if the world they came from no longer exists when they are reborn; they'd reappear in [[Traverse Town]] or a similar place if that was the case. Lea then finds the remnants of Ansem's notes about the [[Door to Darkness]], and leaves to bring back Braig and Isa, without telling Ienzo and Aeleus how, complaining that he always gets stuck with the icky jobs. | Lea has a dream of [[Roxas]] reminding Axel of the promise he made to him and [[Xion]], to always be there to bring them back, and he awakens, with his memories of his time as Axel intact.

Lea uses a [[Corridor of Darkness]] to travel to [[Disney Castle]], hoping King Mickey would help him in his search. From inside the Corridor, he disrupts the hostage situation taking place in the library, blocking [[Maleficent]]'s attack against [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] and distracting [[Pete]] long enough for [[Minnie Mouse|Queen Minnie]] to escape his clutches. Once Maleficent and Pete are gone, Lea reveals and introduces himself to Mickey and his friends. Revealing his motives, Lea asks for their help in his search. Lea travels to the [[Mysterious Tower]] with Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, being brought up to speed regarding Sora and [[Riku]]'s [[Mark of Mastery exam]] and [[Xehanort]]'s inevitable return. Seeing they need more help, Lea requests that [[Yen Sid]] make him a Keyblade wielder, shocking everyone present. Yen Sid warns him that the road he has chosen will not be easy, but Lea decides to "jump right in" anyway. He is then helped with his training by [[Merlin]], along with [[Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather]], by using their magic to compress the time his training would take. | Lea uses a [[Corridor of Darkness]] to travel to [[Disney Castle]], hoping King Mickey would help him in his search.

Back in the Mysterious Tower, Riku decides to go back into Sora's dream to awaken him. Lea tells Riku if the darkness gets him again, then he will be there to get him out, joking that "Dark Rescue" is his middle name. After Riku succeeds in awakening Sora, Lea then joins him and the others in a tea party while Riku is recovering. Once Riku wakes up and Yen Sid declares him a [[Keyblade Master]], Lea tells Riku that he'll catch up to him in no time and become a Keyblade Master as well. Despite Sora and Riku's disbelief, he explains that he came to the Mysterious Tower to learn how to wield a Keyblade and even planned to be using one when he showed up to save Sora and Riku but hasn't been able to summon it yet. Wondering if the problem is in the way he moves his wrist, Lea tries one more time and successfully summons his Keyblade, [[Bond of the Blaze]], shocking everyone present. | Back in the Mysterious Tower, Riku decides to go back into Sora's dream to awaken him.
