Maleficent: Difference between revisions

Terra enters the castle and finds Aurora asleep in her room, where Maleficent appears to him again and tells him of the seven hearts of pure light that grant the power to rule all worlds and mentions the Keyblade. She offers to tell Terra about Xehanort if he steals Aurora's heart for her, but he refuses. Annoyed by his defiance, Maleficent uses her magic to "whisper" to the darkness in Terra's heart and put him into a trance. Using Terra as an extension of her will, Maleficent uses his Keyblade to extract Aurora's heart. Once Terra snaps out of it and realizes what he has done, Maleficent informs him that she does not know where Xehanort went as he vanished into darkness.

Maleficent offers Terra the chance to join her and collect the remaining six hearts of pure light. However, Terra flatly declines, just as the castle begins shaking due to a giant [[Wheel Master|Unversed]]. She warns that he cannot suppress his darkness by force before she leaves. After Terra slays the Unversed, Maleficent watches him leave, noting that the search for the six hearts of pure light will take some time.

Maleficent and Pete survive the destruction of the Castle That Never Was, and Maleficent returns to plotting her conquest of the worlds. She sends Pete to Disney Castle to spy on King Mickey, and when [[Data-Riku]] transports Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and [[Jiminy Cricket]] into the [[Datascape]], Pete gets pulled in as well, appearing in a hub between the data worlds. He calls Maleficent, who uses her magic to enter as well. Despite her unfamiliarity with the concept of computers and computer data, she and Pete decide to conquer the data worlds, immersing them in darkness, and then use the link to the castle to overrun it with Heartless. She tasks Pete with interfering with the data worlds, and he cuts the link to the real world, trapping Mickey and the others.

After [[Data-Sora]] corners Pete in the digital version of [[Agrabah]], Maleficent appears before him. Although she cannot differentiate between him and his real-world counterpart, she destroys his digital Keyblade, recognizing it as a fake. When Data-Riku tries to attack her, the evil fairy subdues him and takes him along, saying he will be "useful". She and Pete corrupt Riku with [[Bug Blox]], forcing him to fight Sora in the data Hollow Bastion. After Sora debugs Riku's data from within, Maleficent attempts to trap him by closing the connection to the outside. Sora escapes, however, and he defeats Maleficent in her dragon form. She disappears, vowing to conquer all worlds.

Having lost her opportunity to take the [[Datascape]] for her plans, Maleficent decided to instead look for a genuine [[Book of Prophecies]]. Learning of the ancient [[Black Box]], Maleficent believed that only the fabled book could be locked inside of it.<!--cite to ultimania -- Nomura confirms she believes this, but NOT that she's right--> Thus she began going world to world, inquiring if such a box existed.

Maleficent and Pete travel to [[Mount Olympus]] to meet with Hades, who is planning his conquest of that world along with the Titans. Maleficent assures him that she is not going to interfere with his plans and asks Hades if there is a distinctive Black Box on Mount Olympus, and where it might be found. Hades then thinks they might be searching for the box [[Zeus]] hid in the ground, and reveals its location to them. Later, while Sora, Donald, and Goofy are fighting the Heartless in Thebes, Maleficent and Pete appears in front of them, prompting Sora to accuse them for being responsible for the Heartless, which Maleficent denies. Pete notices Sora seems weaker than the last time they faced him and suggests destroying him, but Maleficent tells him to leave Sora as he is inconsequential to them and that they have a more important affair to attend to, but not before telling them they will meet again. Maleficent and Pete later find Pandora's Box in the ground of Thebes, but Maleficent orders to Pete to throw it away since it is not the box they are searching for. They then leave that world, unaware that [[Xigbar]] is observing them from far.

{{main|Game:Maleficent|Game:Maleficent (Dragon)}}

Although she is the most forceful of the Disney Villains, Maleficent prefers using sorcery or employing minions to fighting directly. However, her great rage and lust for power allows her to take on the form of a monstrous dragon when necessary. If she is dealt enough damage, Maleficent will revert to her original form.
