Zaine sits on top of the bookcases in the library watching as Sora slowly gets through maze. He chuckles softly when Sora finds a book, but then sees that it isn't the one he needs. He got out of the way of the bookcases that were moving.
"This guy is actually smarter than he looks. He might be a challenge," whispers Zaine to himself.He turns to see that Sora then decides to take his time. This gave him enough time to play a few tricks on Donald and Goofy. He casted a little spell that kicked Donald and Goofy in the butt and knock them down in confusion.
After seeing that Sora decided to pick the pace up again, Zaine teleports back to the chamber to check on progress.
"How are we doing?" asks Zaine.
"We're going smoothly, but we're missing TWO princess hearts. Did you grab Belle yet?" asks Maleficent, outraged at Destiny and Sachiel's failure.
"Oh, you mean her," Zaine says as he pulls Bell out of darkness, bound and gagged. Maleficent grabs Bell, unbinds her, ungags her, and places her in one of the chambers.
"Won't they notice that she's missing?" asks Zaine in thought, remembering Sora was almost done with the library maze.
"Nonsense, they will see her, but it will be a duplicate of her," explains Maleficent, handing Zaine a small sphere with a little strand of hair from Belle's head wrapped around it,"you just throw that at the desk and the Belle they know will appear coming down the steps, only it will be a duplicate. They will never know."
"You know, mistress, you are one evil witch. I like that," replies Zaine, chuckling. He teleports back to the library and notices Sora is on the last bookshelf. He aims and throws at the desk, making a small, but loud, sound of glass shattering and a light appear. This catches Sora's attention. Luckily, Zaine hides in darkness while Sora is looking up in that direction, only to look back at the bookcase and continue to work. He returns from darkness and looks at the imitation Belle. He nods his head and jumps up on the ceiling and scurries quietly over Sora. He decides to try and at least lower the power of the Keyblade, but he knows he has to actually grab the blade and weaken it.
"I know of only one person that can take on Sora at this power," Zaine says as he disappears and reappears in front of Riku, who's still holding his old Heartless blade. He truns to look at Zaine and throw his blade at him. Zaine catches it and holds it in his right hand.
"I see your still mad about almost losing to him, but do not fret," explains Zaine," you just need a Keyblade of your own. I know how to get one."
"Well, hurry up, you fool! He's almost here and I need to be ready for him," Riku/Ansem answers in anger and suprise.
"Easily, hold out your right hand." Riku holds his right hand and arm out like he's try to grab the Keyblade from Zaine. Instantly, a black Keyblade appears in Riku's hand and he grasps it.
"Now you control a Keyblade. It will only disappear if it unlocks the heart of the Keyblade master and unlocks the heart of the last princess. Remember that," explains Zaine as he walk around Riku and begins to disappear to watch on Sora.
Zaine appears in time to see that Maleficent is engaging Sora in battle. He sits on the ceiling and begins to summon Heartless for Maleficent's aid. She notices who is making them and doesn't look up, but she does thank him under her breath.
"Hold him off as long as you can...we are still unlocking the hearts of the princesses to unlock the Keyhole of this world. Good luck, Maleficent. May your heart guide you to victory...or not," Zaine whispers as he watches the battle continue. He disappears to only reappear above the chamber and notice Riku leaving to help Maleficent. He climbs down and unlocks all the hearts of the princess to show the Keyhole, but he wasn't able to unlock the Keyhole.
"We have all the princesses, but one doesn't seem...to have a heart..." Zaine realizes looking at Kairi. He walks over to her and presses an ear to her chest. He hears no heartbeat. He knows what happened now, but he is unable to retrieve her heart for her.
"Wait a moment...Sora fights with the power of two people...maybe he has the princesses heart," Zaine says to himself. He scrambles off to find Riku and finds Riku in time to tell him. Riku nods and stands ready for Maleficent to fly in the door in front of him. Zaine sits on the ceiling and notices Maleficent, Sora, Donald, and Goofy charge through the door.
"This will be a good show," Zaine says as he sees that Sora and the other two are startled to see that Riku holds a Keyblade. He then watches as he unlocks Maleficent's heart to unlock her full power...a power only known to the people close to her...the power of her dragon form.
"The fool! He's unlocked her full power, but Sora is still able to defeat her! He's only set her up into a trap...and he knows it too," Zaine says under his breath as he lays on the ceiling, watching the battle begin. He sees that Sora is using her own fire against her, but Zaine can't move his hands unless he risks getting caught by Sora. He stands up and walks over Maleficent, who's frantically battling off Donald and Goofy's barrage, and raises his hands and places them directly over Maleficent.
"Oh power of darkness! Oh great fire element! I grant you the chance to give the dragon unleashed before me the power of yours, the power of a thousand wildfires! Unleash your power into this dragon now!" Zaine says as a ray of darkness shoots from his hands and lands in Maleficent's head. He then lays directly over the battle and watches as now Donald and Goofy cannot hold her off, but Sora is putting up a good battle now.
"Try to defeat the greates fire power of all, Sora. Your measly Keyblade will be melted into nothing once the fire of Salamander hits it," Zaine laughs out while he sees Donald and Goofy knock out of the battle and Sora is left alone to battle. Sora uses his head and battles Maleficent blow for blow. In the end of the battle, Maleficent, as strong as she is with the power, falls on the ground, dead after the last swing to her strikes her heart and releases her powers in the room, and then laying her cold body on the ground.
"Impossible! She's been defeated alongside with Salamander? That is impossible!" Zaine screams as he vanishes into darkness.
