(Author's Note: This chapter will be relatively short, since such an epic event like this doesn't deserve to be overtly detailed and should be self-explanatory.)

(Aios, Locke and Saphyra are seen in front of their building. Heartless and Ghosts are seen wandering around the area.)

"This is bad, Aios!" Saphyra yells. "Very bad!"

"Complaing shall get us nowhere!" Locke yells. "Let us seek out Master Xrapi!"

(The scene focuses on Aios as the player would be controlling him, was there one.)

(Information: "Find Master Xrapi among the ruins!")

Aios, Locke and Saphyra proceed throughout the ruins of the city as a scene takes place.

"There it was...The Key Kingdom...A haven that took 2 years to build completely. All that work destroyed in a single night. At the time, we had no clue what was happening. All we wanted to know was if Master Xrapi was alright. Agh! If only we had gotten there sooner!"

After a time of wandering, the trio makes it's way over to the entrance to the Castle of the Light. (The place where the three took their exams.)

The moment they get near the door, At leats twenty enemies appear in front of the trio.

As the three enter combat positions, summoning their Keyblades, another large one appears behind the twenty from before.

"Oh, great!" Saphyra yells. "Now what?"

"I...I think i've got this!" Aios says. "Stand aside!"

Aios walks in front of the Trio as he enters combat stance, swinging his Light Rope, his Keyblade attached to the end of it.

(Shot Lock Tutorial: Each of the Destined Three has an ultimate attack that they can perform when desperate. This attack will usually attack all enemies within their line of sight, and gives you some breathing room. In order to activate the Shot Lock, hold down the L1 and R1 buttons to activate a targeting reticule. Move the cursor over the enemies you wish to attack. Once the timer reaches zero, let it fly! Whenever you fire a Shot Lock, a portion of the Focus Gauge is used up. You cannot use the Shot Lock without a set amount of Focus. You can recover Focus by using Mind Potions or Elixirs. Or you can just leave and re-enter the world! The Shot Lock a character currently possesses can be changed at any time by choosing alternate attacks from the Command Menu!")

Aios activates his Shotlock as he targets all of the enemies in frot of the door, who oddly aren't moving at all.

He activates the attack as he jumps into the air and stabs the ground with his Keyblade.

Using his Keyblade as a fulcrum, he rotates and attacks the creatures with high-speed kicks, using his Light Rope as something to hang on to. (Think of a merry-go-round or rotating clock hand going super-fast.)

As the creatures all disappear, Aios turns and looks at his two comrades.

"Never though you had in you." Locke says.

"Cool!" Saphyra says, giving Aios a thumbs-up.

Aios nods as the three enter the Castle.

They run through the corridors, dispatching Heartless and Ghost alike as they eventually reach the Room of the Mark of Mastery.

There in the center of the room, is Master Xrapi, laying down on the floor, stunned.

Aios runs over to his Master and helps him stand up while Locke and Saphyra turn to watch for enemies from the door.

"Master!" Aios yells. "What happened to you?"

"N-No..." Xrapi tries to say. "Shouldn't come...Trap..."

At that moment, clapping is heard as the three students turn to see a figure emerge from the shadows.

The scene zooms in on the face oif the figure.

Golden eyes, black-silver hair twisted into a semi-ponytail.

His smile is that of a villain's.

"Well, well, well." The figure says witha deep, emboldened voice. "So these are the Destined Three..."

"Run..." Xrapi shouts.

"Did you do all of this?" Aios shouts at the man.

"But of course." The figure says. "Ah, It is so rude not to introduce oneself. I am Master Miasma...The new ruler of the cosmos."

"Miasma..." Saphyra mutters. "You're the one that deserted the Kingdom two years ago."

"So, it seems my reputation precedes me." Miasma says. "However, I have no time for autographs."

"Why, you-!" Aios shouts as he summons his Keyblade and rushes towards Miasma, his swings Rope dragging on the ground.

Miasma waves his hand as Aios is knocked back by a wall of Dark flame.

"Sigh...SO headstrong..." Miasma says. "I thought you taught them better than that, Xrapi. Maybe I expected too much. Nevertheless, I cannot have you kids mucking my plans up, now can I?"

Miasma is seen surrounded by Darkness as the three students enter combat position, each standing next to one another.

Miasa's Darkness Screen is seen powering up.

"He's open! Now!" Aios shouts.

"No!" Xrapi shouts. "I...I have opened the Gate to In Between...You must flee this place...Seek out ...Defeat...Vessels..."

"Seek out who, Master?" Aios asks as he catches Xrapi's falling frame.

"Aios! We must leave!" Locke shouts.

"And leave Xrapi behind?" Saphyra yells.

"Now, before-"

("Dearly Beloved" plays in the background.)

The Darkness Screen ejects itself as the scene enters slow-motion.

The Darkness covers all of them as the scene turns completely black.

As the scene resumes itself, the three are gone, as only a weakened Xrapi and a surprised Miasma are seen.

Xrapi makes his way towards the window, where three stars shine brightly in the night sky, then disappear.

"There..." Xrapi says. "At last, we may still have hope."

"No!" Miasma yells. "Ah, well...At least the other can handle them. As for you..."

The scene turns black as swordfighting is heard.

The scene resumes itself yet again as it zooms in on a smiling Miasma, and a body below him, being stained in Darkness.


(The scene switches to a character select screen, though for the sake of storytelling, It will not be catalouged here.)


The scene switches to an armored person aboard a miniature craft.

As the person wakes up, they look around in surprise, their face hidden by their helmet.

"So...So this is In Between...That Darkness must've flung us off-world."

The youth turns around to see a planet, presumably the Key Kingdom, being engulfed in Darkness.

"No, No, No!" The Youth shouts.

The planet disappears in a black flame as the youth kneels on the craft, their body saddened.

"No time for despair...I've gotta find the other two! Then we'll know what to do! Fine the other two, and defeat these...What did Xrapi call them? Vessels? Yeah, Vessels!"

"Well, at last. Our dream had been fulfilled...Only, not quite. The three of us were seperated from each other, in remote parts of the cosmos...Our first incentives were to look for one another...And the worlds seemed like the best place to start..."

(Author's Note: Now the worlds are going to appear. I weill either focus one one character's adventures through different world like in BBS, or according to the worlds themselves. That would mean doing each world one at a time, appearences in chronological order...I'm still deciding that one...)
