When Master Xehanort extracts his heart in an attempt to possess Terra, Terra summons his Keyblade Armor in a desperate attempt to defend himself. The Keyblade wielder is just a moment too late, however; his body emanates darkness, symbolizing Xehanort has won. The newly born [[Terra-Xehanort]] discards the Keyblade Armor, as he doesn't desire its protection from the darkness. With the [[No Name]] in hand, Terra-Xehanort walks off in triumph, only to become trapped in [[Will's Cage]]. Terra-Xehanort turns in shock to see Terra's Keyblade Armor reassembled and standing before him; Terra's rage towards Xehanort and his desire to protect his friends has given life to his discarded armor. Determined to stop Master Xehanort at all costs and get back its body, Terra's "lingering will" challenges Terra-Xehanort to a battle. Angered by Terra's continued resistance, Terra-Xehanort readily engages it. | When Master Xehanort extracts his heart in an attempt to possess Terra, Terra summons his Keyblade Armor in a desperate attempt to defend himself.

The armored figure plunges its [[Ends of the Earth]] into the ground and slumps down, as Terra-Xehanort is consumed by the light storm created by the destruction of the [[χ-blade]] via [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus]]. The clouds that have masked the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] in darkness cover Kingdom Hearts in the sky above, and Lingering Will is left alone. It silently promises Aqua and Ventus that someday, it will set things right. | ||

In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' and ''Kingdom Hearts III'', Lingering Will's armor is much darker in coloration. It also wears a cape that is gold on the outside and dark blue on the inside.
