In Belle's room Belle is wearing a yellow dress while her hair is tied and she hums happily and the Wardrobe is with her.
"I hope tonight goes well." The Wardrobe said.
"So do I. I wonder why he's so nervous." Belle said.
"The Master has his shy side, you know." The Wardrobe said.
(Field Theme: Waltz of the Damned)
(Beast's Castle: Entrance Hall)
In the entrance hall Beast is now wearing a blue suit waiting for Belle and just then a light portal appears and Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas fly out of the light portal before it disappears while Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive and they look around the entrance hall.
"No Heartless or Nobodies." Donald said.
"And no Black Xetis or Haviks." Tails said.
"I think they're close, though." Goofy said.
"Dad's right. They always appear." Max said.
"Better watch out!" Ky said.
"No prob! We'll handle them." Sora said.
The group then see Beast and walk up to him.
"Yo, Prince! Ya look dashin'!" Ken said but Zuko punches his head.
"What he means is that you look nice." Zuko said.
Beast grumbles and turns away.
"What're you so mad about?" Donald asked.
"Is there something wrong?" Lucas asked.
"Why are you here?" Beast asked.
"Yeah, good to see you too." Sly said.
"The Nobodies's world has to be out there somewhere." Sora said.
"Same goes for the Brotherhood's world. We're looking for a way in." Noel said.
"Hmph." Beast said.
Belle comes from the east wing and goes down the east stairs.
"Tonight is very important." Beast said as he goes upstairs.
Belle looks at the group and smiles at them before going down to join Beast.
Beast and Belle bow to each other and hold each other's hands and go for the ballroom.
"Hmm, this could get a little more complicated." Kiyo said.
"Maybe we came here at a bad time." Goofy said.
"I'm thinking the same thing." Bentley said.
"Well, there's only one way to find out!" Donald said as he runs for the ballroom.
"Donald!" Sora called.
"Get back here, you birdbrained idiot!" Elena yelled as the group run after Donald.
(Beast's Castle: Ballroom)
Beast and Belle are in the ballroom and they stare at each other.
"Now then, Monsieur, Mademoiselle. Please, enjoy the evening." Lumierre said.
The group then enter the ballroom.
"And of course, our honored guests are welcomed too." Lumierre said.
"A welcome indeed." A voice said and everyone looks around to see who spoke and the group look up to see someone on the upper part of the ballroom and it's the hooded Xaldin.
"The Organization!" Sora said.
"Xaldin…" Noel said.
"You don't know when to quit." Xaldin said.
"Oh, yeah?! We'll show you!" Donald yelled.
"Why don't you come down and fight!" Shadow said.
"Get out!" Beast yelled rushing for Xaldin.
"Not tonight!" Belle said.
Xaldin summons Nobodies that look like dragoons carrying lances and try to attack Beast who swipes his claws at the dragoons and roars in rage.
"I've come to take something you hold very dear." Xaldin said and Beast roars and rips his suit revealing his purple cape. "Yes. Let your anger grow." Xaldin said as he disappears in his dark corridor.
(Battle Theme: Tension Rising)
"Beast, we'll go after Xaldin later!" Ky said.
"Yeah. Right now, we gotta take care of these guys." Sora said.
(Beast has joined you!)
(Information: Defeat all of the Nobodies!)
The Nobodies known as Dragoons attack with their lances but Ky, Noel, and Sora manage to learn and then they have an ability to jump on the Dragoons damaging them but the Dragoon Nobodies go into the air and deliver diving attacks but Beast attacks with his claws while Lucas uses PK Thunder but the Dragoon Nobodies swipe with their lances but Donald casts Earth while Ken unleashes magic music fists and they send them to strike but the Dragoon Nobodies deliver diving attacks at the group but Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Zuko unleashes barrages of fireballs but the Dragoon Nobodies attempt to impale their lances at the group but T.J. uses Knife Throw while Grace uses Tackle but the Dragoon Nobodies fly around the group and attack with their lances but Tails throws ring bombs while Sly uses Cane Jump but the Dragoon Nobodies impale with their lances but Shadow throws Chaos Arrows while Murray uses Uppercut but the Dragoon Nobodies deliver diving attacks but Goofy uses Goofy Bash while Max uses Shield Boomerang but the Dragoon Nobodies deliver diving attacks but Elena unleashes magic blades and sends them to strike while Blaze uses Fire Drill but the Dragoon Nobodies swipe their lances but Lucky uses Egg Throw while Storm calls down lightning while Bentley shoots electric darts and the group defeat the Dragoon Nobodies.
"Where's Belle?!" Sora asked.
"Over here!" Belle said as she and the servants come back into the ballroom.
"Thank goodness. She's safe." Noel said.
"Guess Xaldin didn't take anything after all." Goofy said but Beast realizes and rushes out of the ballroom.
"Huh, Beast?" Murray asked.
Belle also rushes out of the ballroom.
"Belle?" Ky asked.
"Just what is going on?" Zatch asked.
"What's with them?" Sora asked.
"Isn't Belle the only thing precious to Beast?" T.J. asked.
"Apparently not…" Blaze said.
"Let's go after them." Kiyo said.
The group leave the ballroom to find Beast and Belle and return to the entrance hall an climb up the west stairs and go for the west hall.
(Beast's Castle: West Hall)
The group arrive in the west hall and continue to find Beast and Belle and later go for the west wing.
(Beast's Castle: West Wing)
The group arrive at the west wing and hurry for the Beast's room and later on they find the door and enter it.
(Beast's Castle: Beast's Room)
The group arrive at Beast's room and they find Beast and Belle and Beast walks around in anger and slams his hands to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Belle asked and Beast growls in anger. "Please, calm down." Belle said.
"Calm down?! You just had to have a party, didn't you?! Don't you see what's happened?" Beast asked.
"Hey, what's with you?" Sora asked.
"Why're you acting like this?" Ky asked.
"The rose! My rose!" Beast said.
The group look at an empty pedestal where the contained roses was.
"What? That? You mean he stole it?" Noel asked.
"But surely, you can find another rose." Belle said.
"Silence! You don't know anything!" Beast yelled.
Ky, Noel, and Sora get in front of Belle to defend her.
"Stop it! Don't yell at her like that!" Noel yelled.
"Yeah, that's not fair, Beast! Don't take it out on Belle! It's not like she stole it!" Sora berated.
"I'm sorry…" Belle said.
"None of this is your fault." Ky said.
"You don't have to apologize." Sora said.
"But…" Belle stops talking.
"Belle, Sora, Ky, Noel…I want to you to leave the castle." Beast said shocking Belle. "Look at me. Look. This is what I am. When you first came here, I tried to change. But I was only fooling myself. I can't be any different. I'll always be a beast, so I should live like a beast. With no one…alone. Goodbye…Belle…" Beast said.
"You can't mean that." Belle said.
Beast turns away from Belle.
"I can't believe him." Sly said.
"Aw, I think his mind's made up." Goofy said.
"Yeah." Sora said.
"Don't worry, Belle. Let us handle this. If we get the Beast's rose back, he'll calm down." Noel said and Belle nods sadly and leaves the room.
Back at the west wing the servants see Belle leaving.
"Poor child…" Mrs. Potts said as Belle leaves the west wing.
"How could it have come to this?" Cogsworth asked.
"And they were so looking forward to this evening…" Lumierre said.
"Now, now…no need to be sad. Once the rose is back safely, this will all be over." Mrs. Potts said.
"What's so special about one rose?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, what good will it do?" Ky asked.
"If the Master can love and be loved in return, the spell will be broken. We'll all be human again." Cogsworth said.
"Yeah, we know. You told us." Elena said.
"But there is a time limit." Lumierre said.
"Time limit?" Bentley asked.
"He must find his true love before the last petal falls from the rose." Lumierre said.
"Ah, but that is not all… Over time, caring for the rose has become a cherished part of the Master's daily life." Cogsworth said.
"It's as though all his hopes and dreams are tied to that single bloom…" Mrs. Potts said.
"That's so sad…" Noel said.
"Poor Beast!" Sora said.
"In that case, we're getting it back." Ky said.
"Please do." Mrs. Potts said.
"But we can't without Beast, though." Sora said.
"I agree. If it's so important to him, then he has to do it himself." Shadow said.
"Let's go talk to Beast and convince him to not give up." Zuko said and everyone nods.
The group return to Beast's room and talk to Beast.
"Hey, Beast!" Sora said.
"Leave me alone." Beast said.
"What a bitch…" Ken said but Elena whacks her staff at his head.
"No! You need to listen to this!" Ky said.
"You used to be fearless. You would have given your life to save Belle. Don't you know what that meant to us? You gave us all courage. Maybe you should've kept some for yourself. I mean, are you really gonna throw your happiness away?" Sora asked.
"The rose is your only hope, isn't it? Well, it's the only hope for Cogsworth and the others too." Noel said.
"Don't throw away your last chance." Ky said.
"Remember what it was like before Belle lived here?" Sora asked and Beast realizes. "Just think about what happened back at Hollow Bastion, when Maleficent stole Belle from you." Sora said.
Flashback:
In Hollow Bastion's rising falls the young Sora was stuck with the wooden sword Riku gave him after his Keyblade was gone and Donald and Goofy were with Riku and Sora saw an injured Beast trying to move.
"Hey, don't move! You're hurt!" Sora said.
"Why? Why did you come here? I came here to fight for Belle. And even though I'm on my own, I will fight! I'm not leaving without her! That's why I'm here." Beast said as he keeps moving.
Flashback End.
After the flashback Beast starts to realize more.
"See, you can't give up. Not now." Sora said.
"So, what do you say?" Ky asked.
"I know one thing." Beast asked.
"What's that?" Noel asked.
"This castle belongs to me! Xaldin will never be welcome here!" Beast said and the group nod.
"Great! Let's go out and find that rose!" Tails said.
As the group start to move Storm and Grace see something and it looks like a scythe with rose petals.
"Is that another Absent Silhouette?" Sora asked.
"Should we bother with it?" Donald asked.
"No! We gotta help Beast first!" Ky said.
"He's right. C'mon." Zatch said.
The group leave Beast's room and go through the west wing and the castle and they later return to the entrance hall.
"So, Beast…you came after all." Someone said and it's Xaldin who is on the upper part of the entrance hall while carrying the rose with him. "You had me worried. I was afraid you'd given up for good." Xaldin said and Beast growls.
"What do you guys really want?" Sora asked.
"Because of all the trouble you're causing, you have to be after something!" Ky said.
"Are you after Ky too?" Blaze asked.
"No. We have no interest in the Prince of Light. The Brotherhood can do whatever they want with him, when we're finished using him and Noel and Sora. What we truly want is Kingdom Hearts." Xaldin said.
"Wh-What?! What do you plan to do with it?" Noel asked.
Xaldin takes off his hood revealing his face with blue eyes and has black hair tied to dreadlocks.
"When Kingdom Hearts is ours, we can exist, fully and completely." Xaldin answered.
"What?" Donald asked.
"That's your plan?" T.J. asked.
"Yes. So, you see, Beast, that is why we need your Heartless AND your Nobody!" Xaldin said as he unleashes more Dragoon Nobodies.
The Dragoon Nobodies charge to attack at the group but Ky, Noel, and Sora slash with their Keyblades while Beast slashes with his claws to strike and they destroy the Dragoon Nobodies.
"Sorry, but we can't let you have your way, Xaldin." Noel said.
Xaldin descends from the upper part of the hall and lands near the doors.
"Hmph. Just try and stop me, fools." Xaldin said as he leaves through the doors.
"We can't let him get away!" Max said.
"He still has the rose. We have to get it back!" Sly said.
"Let's beat 'im, and get it!" Murray said.
The group leave the entrance hall and go outside after Xaldin.
(Beast's Castle: Courtyard)
The group are in the courtyard and begin looking for Xaldin and while looking for Xaldin in the courtyard Goofy looks up at something.
"Huh?" Goofy asked.
Someone is at a balcony of the castle and it's Belle who sighs sadly but then she looks down and sees the group at the courtyard and tries to go inside but then she sees something.
"Is that…?" Belle stops talking as she realizes it's the rose and takes it. "Look! It's the rose!" Belle called making Beast look up at Belle.
Just then something grabs Belle and a hand covers her mouth and behind her is Xaldin.
"Belle!" Beast yelled.
"Dammit! Xaldin again!" Ken yelled.
Xaldin takes Belle and jumps from the balcony and goes for outside of the castle.
"C'mon!" Sora said.
"We have to save her!" Lucas said.
Beast rams through the doors and the group rush out of the courtyard.
(Beast's Castle: Bridge)
The group rush to the bridge and they find and confront Xaldin who now has both Belle and the rose.
"You! Get out of my castle now!" Beast yelled.
"With pleasure, but I'd rather travel light. What shall I leave behind? Belle? Or the rose?" Xaldin asked.
"Belle!" Beast said rushing for Belle.
Just then Belle manages to elbow Xaldin making him groan in pain allowing Belle to take the rose and runs through the bridge passing the group.
"Good one, Belle!" Sora said.
"Wow, she's tough!" Ky said.
After Belle is gone Beast charges at Xaldin and attempts to deliver a strike but Xaldin dodges Beast's attack and lands further away and gives a look of anger.
(Boss Theme: The 13th Dilemma)
"Enough of this nonsense! You will all perish!" Xaldin said as he unleashes six tornadoes around him and they all reveal to be six lances known as Lindworm and Xaldin carries two lances in one hand while one lance is in the other hand while the other three lances are levitated by wind around him and Xaldin is levitated by wind.
"So, now you're gonna fight us?! Bring it!" Ky said.
"You're gonna suffer the same fate as that idiot Demyx did." Shadow said.
"Beast, let's end this!" Sora said.
"With pleasure! Stay with me!" Beast said.
"Oh, where's the fun in this?" Xaldin asked. "Wind, guard me!" Xaldin commanded as a powerful wind barrier surrounds him.
"We'll have to find a way to get past that barrier." Elena said.
"We'll find a way!" Ky said.
"Die!" Xaldin yelled.
Xaldin delivers a spinning attack with his six lances at the group but Ky, Noel, and Sora manage to learn Xaldin's moves and Sora delivers a jumping dive attack penetrating Xaldin's wind barrier and causing damage while slashing with Kingdom Key while Ky aerial slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by an upper slash and a wide slash while Noel vertical slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by casting Earth but Xaldin delivers an impaling attack with his six lances but Beast delivers a charging attack to strike but Xaldin unleashes his wind barrier again and strikes with his lances but Elena unleashes magic blades and sends them to strike while Zuko unleashes four jets of flames but Xaldin jumps into the air and delivers attacks with his lances from the air multi times until later on Xaldin's lances circles around the group and sends his lances to strike while delivering a shock wave attack but Lucas uses PK Flash to strike at Xaldin while Storm uses Volt Tackle but Xaldin delivers a spinning attack with his lances at the group but Goofy uses Goofy Tornado while Max uses Cyclone but Xaldin attempts to impale at the group with his lances but Ken casts Thunder followed by unleashing magic music waves but Xaldin jumps into the air and sends his lances to strike from above multiple times until the lances circle and sends his lance to strike at the ground while unleashing shock waves but Grace uses Growl while Lucky uses Egg Roll but Xaldin unleashes another wind barrier to protect himself and spin attacks with his lances but Donald casts Fire while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga but Xaldin attacks with one lance followed by striking with his other two lances but Bentley uses his RC Chopper to shoot missiles while Tails throws ring bombs but Xaldin unleashes another wind barrier around him but T.J. uses Knife Throw while Shadow throws Chaos Lances but Xaldin tries to impale the group with his lances but Sly attacks with his cane while Murray uses Flame Punch but Xaldin spin attacks with his lances but Blaze uses Fire Tornado to strike but Xaldin backs off.

"Sora, Ky, Noel!" Xaldin yelled as he rides his snake like lance and then goes for one of the sides of the bridge and the lance later transforms into a giant dragon like shape. "You'll wear the face of DESPAIR!" Xaldin shouted as his dragon shaped lance unleashes a giant whirlwind at the group causing massive damage but Ky, Noel, Sora, Elena, and Donald cast Cure on themselves and everyone else.

The group return to the courtyard and find Belle and Beast goes for her.
"Here. It's yours again." Belle said giving Beast the rose.
"Belle…" Beast stops talking.
"I know. You want me to leave the castle." Belle said.
The group and the servants look in worry.
"What matters is…you weren't hurt by Xaldin. You're safe." Beast said making the group and the servants brighten up. "And, I'm very grateful to you…for bringing the rose back to me. Thank you." Beast said.
"It's the least I can do. You've been good to me, and you didn't have to be." Belle said.
"Listen, Belle…" Beast stops talking.
"Yes?" Belle asked.
Beast struggles with what is about to say.
"Say it!" Sora said.
"You know you wanna!" Ky said.
"Go on!" Lumierre said.
"C'mon!" Donald said.
"Just say it, dammit!" Ken said.
"You can do it!" Mrs. Potts said.
"We have confidence." Cogsworth said.
"We believe in you." Noel said.
"Don't be bashful now." Goofy said.
"Belle…I'd like you stay…with me. Please?" Beast offered.
Belle takes out her hand and Beast takes it.
"I will." Belle said embracing Beast.
"Maestro…music!" Lumierre said and music starts to play while Beast and Belle start dancing.
"This is so nice…" Noel said as she starts to cry.
"Hey, did you guys see the look on Belle's face when she grabbed that rose?" Sora asked.
"Yep. She's tough." Ky said.
"Yeah, it looked like she was havin' fun alright." Goofy said.
"She is rather unique, isn't she?" Lumierre asked.
"Always ready for a little adventure." Mrs. Potts said.
"The two do seem made for each other." Cogsworth said.
"I couldn't agree more!" Elena said.
"Yeah, they sure do!" Sora said.
