After everyone had arrived at Hollow Bastion, Daring led the charge into battle against millions of Heartless.
"Hope everything is going alright with Raven's group," thought Daring as he struck a Shadow. Meanwhile, Raven and her group had used the chaos to sneak into the castle.
"Think Baba Yaga and the others are out there?" asked Cedar as she looked down at the battle while still climbing the castle. Suddenly, large explosions came out of nowhere.
"I'd say so," said Cerise.
"Don't let your guards down for a minute, we still have my mother to face, and a Heartless could come out of nowhere," said Raven as they reached the top floor.
"So, you and all of your new little friends decided to attack me on my home turf," said the Evil Queen as she stood there, her back turned to them.
"It's over, mother, we won't let you hurt the worlds anymore," said Raven.
"When will you realize, Raven, the only way to protect people is with the power of the darkness!" said the Evil Queen as a dark aura started to radiate out from her.
"The darkness might make you strong, but you lose your sanity from constant contact," said Apple.
"It's why you need to use both the darkness and light, they must be balanced," said Raven.
"Shut up!" said the Evil Queen as dozens of Armored Knights, Crimson Jazz, and Fiery Globes appeared.
"Here we go!" said Raven as they started fighting.
"Look at all of you, fighting like it means something," said the Evil Queen.
"It does mean something, Valor Form," said Raven. Her clothes then changed colors to red and black.
"So, your ring is a form changer," said the Evil Queen.
"That's right, and I have enough Drive Points to beat all of these Heartless," said Raven before using two Thundagas to wipe out the Heartless.
"Watch out!" said Apple as she pushed Raven out of the path of a fireball that the Evil Queen had shot at her.
"Apple!" said the others as the princess hit the ground after taking the fireball to the chest.
"Why did you do that, I could have reflected it," said Raven as she knelt beside her, noticing Apple's clothes were burnt.
"I couldn't stand the thought of you getting hurt," said Apple with a smile as she placed a hand on Raven's cheek
"Well, isn't this just disgusting?" asked the Evil Queen before shooting dark energy at her daughter's back, lifting her into the air.
"If you won't join me of your own choice, then I'll just force you," said the Evil Queen as Raven was enveloped in a ball of dark energy. Once the ball vanished, it revealed that raven had turned into a Shadow.
"Raven?!" asked a terrified Apple.
