In response to the imminent return of [[Master Xehanort]], Sora and Riku are summoned to the Mysterious Tower in order to take the [[Mark of Mastery exam]] and become Keyblade Masters. Despite having the enormity of Master Xehanort explained to him, Sora initially objects, convinced that he can already defeat Master Xehanort, but when Riku agrees to the exam as a way of proving that he has overcome his darkness, Sora also agrees. Yen Sid sets the pair the task of entering the [[Sleeping Worlds]] and awakening seven worlds which were left submerged in sleep following Ansem's defeat.

As he travels through the dream city, Sora encountering illusions of Naminé, Xion, Roxas, Riku, Kairi, Terra, Aqua, and Ventus along the way, occasionally hearing Riku's voice encouraging him not to fall for the illusions and stay awake.
