The stars shone brightly as the master explained to Sora his next mission.

"The universe you will travel to next is not like the one you are in now," Yen Sid explained, "The worlds within it are much larger, much stronger, and much darker."

"I'm sure we can handle it," Sora said confidently.

"No, Sora. You will have to go alone," Yen Sid corrected.

"What!?" He inquired, "Why can't Donald and Goofy come with me!?"

"The confounds of this world only allow one to enter. Sora, you will have to pass this trial alone," He waved and a portal opened for Sora's disposal, "Go now, and end these people's suffering."

"Donald... Goofy..." Sora said, "Riku... Kiari..." He paused, "... I'll be back soon!"

"Sora!" Kiari shouted. She ran to him and put a star shaped relic in his hand. He recognized it. "It's my lucky charm! Remember to bring it back to me!"

"Okay! Will do!" Sora agreed, "Here we go!"

Sora jumped through the gateway.
