Story

In Kingdom Hearts, Hollow Bastion is the penultimate world, and serves as Maleficent's headquarters, having taken over the world and overrun it with Heartless. When Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive, they find the Beast, injured and beaten by Riku. Riku declares himself the real Keyblade wielder, and summons the Keyblade away from Sora. Shocked, Sora collapses. Donald and Goofy proceed to follow Riku, following the King's orders to follow the "key." Riku leaves, tossing Sora's old wooden sword on the ground in front of him. After Riku's gone, the Beast attempts to get up, only to stumble. Sora gets up and tries to help the Beast, who reveals he's come to the world in search of someone important to him, and he refuses to leave without her. Sora picks up his wooden sword, and team's up with the Beast, deciding not to leave without someone important he's been searching for, as well.

After traversing the castle, Sora and the Beast arrive in the Grand Hall. The Beast sees an illusion of Belle, only for the illusion to turn into a Heartless. Enraged, the Beast pounces on the Heartless, the doors slamming behind him. Riku then confronts Sora, telling him to give up, to which Sora refuses, saying that the darkness will destroy his body, but not his heart.
