Previously in The Lost Princess:

"The king told us to go out and find the key bearer, and we found you. So as long as we stick together, it'll all work out okay. Ya just gotta believe in yourself, that's all."

"Yeah but what about (Y/N)? What's will happen to her?"

"It's just like Goofy said. You just gotta believe."

"Just believe..." Sora closed his eyes and heard two voices.

"I believe in you," you and Kairi said at the same time. Sora found himself flying toward a great shining light, which enveloped everything. Slowly, a room began to fade in around him, filled with bookshelves and stained glass windows. He floated in the air, watching.

"Where am I?" he asked. He saw an old woman sitting on a chair under a long staircase. A young girl with red hair ran up to the woman, who smiled down at her.

"Long ago, people lived in peace, bathed in the warmth of light. Everyone loved the light. Then people began to fight over it. They wanted to keep it for themselves. And darkness was born in their hearts. The darkness spread, swallowing the light and many people's hearts. It covered everything, and the world disappeared. But small fragments of light survived...in the hearts of children. With these fragments of light, children rebuilt the lost world. It's the world we live in now. But the true light sleeps, deep within the darkness. That's why the worlds are still scattered, divided from each other. But someday, a door to the innermost darkness will open. And the true light will return. So, listen, child. Even in the deepest darkness, there will always be a light to guide you. Believe in the light, and the darkness will never defeat you. Your heart will shine with its power and push the darkness away. Do you understand, Kairi?" the old lady said. Sora blinked and the woman disappeared.

"Kairi!?" he asked. He scanned the room, seeing no one for a second. Blinking again, he was back floating in the air, seeing the 4-year-old Kairi, who looked around. He bent forward, trying to reach her, but she disappeared and he was thrown to baby you. He saw you with your father in a castle being surrounded by his friends. He blinked again was thrown to 4-year-old you. He saw you walking out of the castle in Scala ad Caelum, holding someone's hand. He couldn't see who it was but he could tell that you were happy. He blinked again and was back floating in the air and saw you meeting him and Riku. He suddenly heard someone whisper in his ear

Please...save my sister...

"No vessel, no help from the Heartless... So tell me, how'd you get here?" Riku said. The beast stood on its hind legs like a human, and it gazed upon Riku with the same resolution as human eyes would, but the rest of its body, from its horns to its fangs to its claws, screamed otherwise. It began to speak, its voice low and rough.

" I simply believed. Nothing more to it. When our world fell into darkness, Belle was taken from me. I vowed I would find her again no matter what the cost. I believed I would find her. So, here I am. She must be here. I will have her back!" he said.

"Take her, if you can!" Riku challenged. The beast roared and leaped up at Riku. It swiped at him with its sharp claws, but Riku flipped backward, dodging the attack completely. The beast's cloak settled to his side as Riku landed on his feet. With lightning speed, Riku charged forward at the beast. Sora arrived in time to see the beast fall to the ground with a stinging growl.

"Goofy. Let's go. We have to remember our mission," Donald said.

"Oh! Well, I know the king told us to follow the key and all... But..." Goofy said. He gazed back toward Sora giving a sad grumble. Donald stopped.
