Player, Ephemer and Skuld, still in the data world, ponder if their friends are safe before being approached by four darknesses. They demand a gate to pass out of the data world, which Ephemer refuses. While preparing for a fight, Ephemer tells Player to take a lifeboat and escape. Player responds by suddenly attacking and calling him a fool possessed by darkness they lectured Ephemer that letting them escape would be a grave error. But they proposes returning the body in exchange for a gate, which Ephemer also refuses. The possessed Player and the four darknesses then attack and defeat Ephemer and Skuld, with them about to take Skuld's life. In an act of desperation, Ephemer, launches a beam through Player's chest that opens a portal behind them, sucking them and the four darknesses through it. | Player, Ephemer and Skuld, still in the data world, ponder if their friends are safe before being approached by four darknesses.

Appearing in a data cable, Player is severely wounded and surrounded by the four darknesses. They commend the darkness possessing Player for goading Ephemer into creating a portal, but suggest leaving the body before they perishes together. However, Player just laughs and seals the exit revealing they were not actually possessed and it was all an act to trap darkness to ensure the safety of their friends. The four darknesses are enrage and try to escape, to no avail. Player had outsmarted the darkness and won however, the wounds received were still real and fatal knowing this is the end Player eventually collapses in exhaustion and embraces Chirithy before being engulfed by a bright light. The two find themselves in a white void with many other Keyblade wielders. Chirithy now presents Player with two options: Player falls asleep and Chirithy becomes the guardian of their heart as a [[Dream Eater]], or they could not sleep and continue the cycle of transferring hearts as normal. Player chooses to not sleep, embraces Chirithy one last time, and the pair transform into a heart and float away. | Appearing in a data cable, Player is severely wounded and surrounded by the four darknesses.
