Nexus charged at Xehanort and swung his keyblade but Xehanort quickly blocked it and pushed Nexus's keyblade away before quickly shooting a blast of darkness from his keyblade, hitting Nexus in the chest. Nexus staggered back a few steps with his hand on chest. He chuckled and charged at Xehanort but he slashed at Nexus's arm. Nexus, feeling little pain, looked at his arm and saw a long and deep cut. He saw blood ooze out of the cut and quickly healed it. Nexus wiped the blood off his arm and said, "Impressive, you managed to wound me but I am not easily defeated."

Xehanort summoned heartless and nobodies saying, "Yes, but you are greatly outnumbered." Nexus just smiled.

"Am I?" He said. A portal opened up behind him and his soldiers ran out of it with blasters in their hands. They aimed them at the heartless and nobodies waiting for orders from their King. "Destroy them!" He commanded. And his soldiers immediately started blasting at them. Nexus noticed that their aims were not very good but did not care. At least they're loyal. He thought.

Unbeknownst to them, someone was watching the whole thing.

"So the legends are true." Said a figure from the shadows. The figure walked out of the shadows to reveal herself as Maleficent . She had an evil smile on her face. "I think I just found the key to ruling the worlds."

She began to laugh evilly.

At Mysterious Tower

Nick was standing at the computer typing as he stared at the letters and symbols moving on the screen. The others were having a conversation near the other side of the room.

"What are we going to do?" Asked Riku.

"What do you mean?" Kairi asked him.

"What are we going to do about Nexus?" He asked. "The war between light and dark could become bigger than it already is."

"Yeah, especially with factions of darkness fighting each other and us." Said Sora.

"Yes, but as long as we all stick together as a team, we will always win." Kairi said happily.

"Right!" Said Mickey.

"True, but how long is this war gonna last?" Asked Riku .

"Unfortunately, light and darkness will always be at war." Nick said having listened in on their conversation . He turned to look at them saying, "Not until one vanquishes the other."

"Which can last forever because of so many people falling to darkness." Said Lea.

"Not necessarily." Said Nick.

"Huh?" Said Mickey.

"Even if people fell to darkness ," Nick started. "The light in their hearts would stop the darkness from taking them completely. Even Xehanort had a small light in his heart that kept him from falling to the darkness completely."

"But what about the Rulers of Darkness." Asked Sora.

"They are exceptions because of the Shard of Dark Kings keeping their hearts strong enough to live without light and not fall to darkness ." Nick explained . "Even Nexus can't fall to darkness because of his pure heart and soul."

"But how do we win this war then?" Asked Sora.

"Isn't it obvious, we destroy the darkness with light." Lea said crossing his arms .

"No." Nick said.

"What?" He asked.

"We can not destroy the darkness ." Nick said. "Light and darkness go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other."

"Then what can we do?" Asked Riku.

"We find a way to get light and darkness to coexist in peace. Without destroying the very galaxy we inhabit." He said.
