Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive in the heartless world. They observe how dark their surroundings are. It gives off and eerie feeling.

"Gawrsh" said Goofy "Is this all that's left of the worlds taken by the heartless?"

"Those worlds will be restored if we beat Ansem right?" asked Sora

"You betcha" said Donald

"But, if we do beat him and all these worlds become restored and disconnected, what's going to happen to this place and to us?" asked Sora

"Well, uhh" said Donald unsure.

"This is a Heartless world" said Goofy. "So maybe it'll just disappear." Sora and Donald seemed surprised by what Goofy said. "But no worries even if this place goes poof, our hearts ain't goin' nowhere. I'm sure we'll find our pals again. Yup I just know that we will."

"Yeah you're right" said Sora. He takes out Kairi's good luck charm and stares at it. "I'll return this I promise" said Sora to himself.

Meanwhile Aimala is struggling against Ansem. She can't even land a hit on him. Each time she tries to strike he is able to dodge out the way. The demon behind him fires balls of darkness at Aimala. Each one hits her as she is too weakened to dodge them. She collapses onto the ground.

"You are knocking on death's door and yet you refuse to realize your weakness" said Ansem "You refuse to accept defeat. You refuse to use reason. Are you incapable of comprehending such things?"

Aimala couldn't speak.

"Humph can't even talk back anymore." Ansem looks at the wings on Aimala's back. Most of the feathers have fallen off. Only two rows of feathers remain on her wings. "So your wings are connected to your heart. Judging by how they look, I say you have hours left to live at best." Aimala stumbles to her feet. "You just don't know when to quit do you? How many times must I knock you down before you get the point? "You will lose!"

"I still have something driving me" said Aimala forcing herself to speak "I can't die unless I take you and Sora down first. I refuse to give up until then."

Ansem's demon grabs Aimala and starts to squeeze her. "That's probably one thing you and Sora have in common you're too stubborn to quit. You're too stubborn to give up. To top it all off, you're too stubborn to know when you are clearly out matched." The demon squeezes harder. Aimala is finding it harder to breath. "Would it really be alright if I take you out now? You don't have long to live anyway. No maybe I will just keep you alive so you can watch me claim Kingdom Hearts as kill Sora in the process." He loosens his grip. Aimala then yells "Fission Firaga." A giant explosion erupts from the two of them. Ansem is blown back severely damaged by the attack. "That'll cost you." Ansem's demon sends a huge wave of darkness towards Aimala and she is knocked down plummeting of the island into darkness.

As Aimala falls she starts thinking of the past. She thinks about her mom the love and care she showed her. She thought of dad and the stern presences he always had. She even thought of Hades who had never really taken anything seriously when it comes to them. She felt the darkness surround her. She didn't want to give up just yet. She didn't want to let mom's dream die with her. She stretched out her wings and pushed against the darkness with all her might. She saw a ledge just a couple feet above her. She flapped and flapped giving everything she had. She was able to grab the ledge and pull herself up. She collapsed on the ledge her legs were too weak to support her. She used her staff as a crutch to pull herself up and started walking on the path connected to the ledge. She walked for what seemed like minutes and saw flashes of lights in the distance. The path seems to lead to those flashes of light. As she got closer and closer she could see that they were coming from Ansem and Sora with his friends. They were fighting and Sora appeared to be winning. Ansem's demon became much larger and was connected to Ansem through some cords in his back. Ansem had a double sided spear whose ends were similar to Riku's weapon. Sora was successfully blocking his attacks. Donald and Goofy were focusing on the demon. Ansem was weakening and staggering. Sora manages to strike Ansem in the chest knocking him back through the demon. That blow caused the demon to start exploding until it was destroyed. Ansem rises to Sora. From the looks of it, he still had some fight in him. He turns to what appears to be a large door. The door slowly starts opening up. It appears that darkness is leaking from the door. Ansem flies over to the door to absorb the darkness but suddenly a bright light shines through the door. Ansem is blown back by the light and appears to disappear into it. Sora and the other run to close the door.

Aimala slowly makes her way to the door but she is a fair distance away. With Ansem gone the only thing left for her was Sora in her mind. Slowly walking over to the door. Sora and his friends push the door and it slowly starts to close. Aimala can sense that there is a great number of heartless behind the door. She realizes what Sora was doing now. He was preventing the Heartless from escaping. It then occurred to Aimala that this was the door her mother was talking about. This was the door that will lead to Kingdom hearts. Aimala started to pick up the pace trying to get to the door before Sora closed it. As Aimala got closer she realized she wasn't going to make it to the door before it closes. Sora and his friends successfully close the door to the darkness. Sora then summons his keyblade and uses it to lock the door. With the door closed, Sora turns to walk away. The door slowly fades away Aimala tries to run towards it hoping she could find a way to open it again. She drops the staff and stumbles on her two feet. She runs desperately trying to get to the door. It was too late. The door disappeared and the hope for Aimala disappeared as well. Light fragments start floating everywhere. The worlds are starting to return the realm that Sora, Aimala and the other were in is starting to fade. A blinding light shines brightly and everything is engulfed in them Aimala looses consciousness.
