Sora and his friends arrive back in Hollow Bastion just outside the castle. Beast was standing there to greet them.
"Beast you're alive?" said Sora
"My heart is not so easily crushed" said Beast
"What happened to Maleficent's daughter?" asked Goofy
"I don't know. A man in a black coat came in the middle of the fight and struck her down. I left before I could see what happened next" said Beast
"We should take care of her before we deal with the keyhole" said Donald "It could bad if she tried to stop us like she did last time."
"Right" said Sora "Where is she?"
"I'll take you to her" said Beast
The four of them went inside the castle. They traveled through the many corridors and eventually made it to the room Maleficent died in.
"This was the last place I saw her" said Beast.
Sora walks ahead when a ghostly figure phasing in and out walks through Sora from behind. Suddenly Sora starts hearing a bunch of voices all speaking to him at once. He couldn't make out what they were saying. They were just overwhelming. The voices all stopped at the same time as Sora stumbles backwards. The ghostly figure solidifies and it turns out to be the man in the black coat.
"Who are you" said Sora standing on his feet.
"It seems that you are special too" said the figure
"Ansem?" said Goofy
"That name rings familiar" said the figure. It creates an energy ball in its left hand. "You remind me of him."
"What's that suppose to mean" said Sora. The figure turns around to shoot the energy blast at Sora. Sora quickly summons his Keyblade to block it. Bolts of lightning shoot from the figure's hand and strike Sora's keyblade constantly. Sora through a small struggle is able to deflect it upward to hit the ceiling. A couple rocks from the ceiling fall on the ground.
"It means you're not whole" said the figure "You are incomplete. Allow me to test your strength. Sora takes a fighting position. The figure does the same.
The figure is the first to strike charging at Sora in a black ball of darkness. Sora easily dodges it. Donald yells "Thunderga" calling lightning to strike the figure. The figure didn't even flinch as it hits with the lightning bolt. Sora goes in to attack the figure and the figure block with a magic like shield. It then summons red swords of light to strike at Sora. Sora blocks them with ease. Beast lunges at the figure with his claws knocking him back. The figure shoots lightning bolts at Beast. Goofy jumps in and blocks the bolts with his shield. Sora lunges at the figure and does a series of eight lunges knocking him back with the last one. Donald yells "Blizzarga." Icicles shoot from his staff at the figure. The figure blocks that with his shield. He strikes at Donald with his swords knocking him back. Goofy throws his shield at the figure knocking him back. Sora then throws his keyblade at him a few times stunning him. The figure quickly recovers and shoots lightning at Goofy now. Sora yells "Wind" a gust of wind surrounds Goofy minimizing the damage he took from the attack. Donald then yells "Heal" healing his wounds. He then runs to the figure and yells "Thunderga." Lightning bolts hit the figure. Sora does the same thing doubling the lightning bolts hitting the figure. The figure then uses his lightning to strike at Sora. Beast attacks from behind redirecting the lightning to the wall. Sora runs up to him and hits him with a series of 15 attacks with the last one knocking him to the ground. Goofy charges at him with his shield knocking him to the wall. Sora and Donald point their weapons at him and yell "Firaga." Giant fireballs shoot out of their weapons and hit the figure directly. The figure staggers for a minute. Sora and Donald launch their fireballs at him again only for him to block it with a large orb like shield. He the releases large beams of light from the orb striking the entire field at once. Sora barely manages to dodge the beams of light. Beast is knocked out by the beams. Goofy blocks the beams of light with his shield. Donald is knocked out by the beams. Sora then jumps in the air and greats a beam of light from the tip of his keyblade. The light grows larger and larger until Sora releases it. 20 different beams of light shoot out the end of the keyblade and follow the figure. It strikes the figure stunning him. Goofy charges at the figure with his shield knocking him back. Sora rushes at the figure and delivers a series of fifteen different strikes on the figure. With the last strike the figure is knocked to the ground. The figure stands up brushing himself off.
"Impressive" said the figure. Sora seemed shocked. "This will be enjoyable."
"What are you talking about?" said Sora as he charged towards the figure. He tries to strike him but his attack seems to pass through him instead.
"It is beyond your comprehension, for now." He turns to Sora "Until we meet again"
"Wait what are you…?"Before Sora could finish the figures disappears.
"I am but a mere shell" said the voice of the figure.
The others manage to recover themselves.
"We should go" said Beast "That guy is long gone by now."
"But where's Aimala?" asked Sora
"If I had to guess that man got rid of her."
"I guess we don't have to worry about her now?" said Donald
"I guess" said Sora seeming distressed "Anyway we should get to the keyhole.
The group leaves the area and make their way to the keyhole.
