As Xehanort continued his tour of the worlds, Ansem comes into contact with him once again and grants him the power to traverse time and tasks him with gathering twelve other incarnations of himself from across time to form the [[Real Organization XIII]] for his future self's final plans to obtain the power of Kingdom Hearts.

Eventually, the time drew near when both Xehanort and Eraqus would finally take their Mark of Mastery exams. After the loss of so many of his students, Odin was no longer accepting new apprentices and decided to retire to a remote world, planning to have either Eraqus or Xehanort become his successor in watching over Scala upon the successful completion of their Mark of Mastery. To prepare for the exam, Xehanort was tasked to tour the various worlds to broaden his horizons. By this point in time, Xehanort had come to see the power of darkness as a necessity to wield if he were to be seen as an equal to Eraqus, a blueblood descended from the first keyblade wielders that comprised the Dandelions, and sought the means to wield both light and darkness in perfect balance. To this end and in the course of this pilgrimage, Xehanort entered a corridor of darkness and, in an effort to channel and the control the dark energy, forwent his armor and allowed darkness to seep into his heart. However, this eventually overwhelmed Xehanort and he passed out, only to be saved by the time traveling [[The Master of Masters|Master of Masters]].
