Yen Sid addressed you, Sora, the twins, and Riku in his Mysterious Tower, having summoned them there for a special purpose. King Mickey, Donald, Xemnas, and Goofy stood beside his chair.
"As a Keyblade Master, Xehanort had a gift like few others. But such great minds are often plagued by a single great question. What is the essence of the human heart that weakens us, or empowers us? The answer, he believed, would be found in the 'Keyblade War.' What if the challenges of our past were, in fact, a map to the light and darkness that battles within us all? Xehanort had to know, so he renounced his duties as master and chose the seeker's life. Since then, in many a guise, he has clashed with protectors of the light–Keyblade wielders like yourselves. And mark my words–he will trouble us yet again. We must be ready. Which is why you, Sora and Riku, are to be tested for the mark of a true Keyblade Master while (Y/N), Yui, and Roxy must discover a new Spirit. No doubt you fancy yourselves masters already, but it takes years of training. Only a true master can teach you the proper way. Both of you are self- taught Keyblade wielders–an impressive feat. However, the time has come for you to let go of preconceived notions, forget what you know about the Keyblade, and begin your training again with a clean slate," Yen Sid said.
"Huh?!" you all asked.
"But that's a formality, right? I already proved myself. Me and the king, and Riku–we can take on anything. Right, Riku?" Sora said.
"I don't know," Riku said as he summoned his keyblade. "I think that in my heart, darkness still has a hold. Walking that path changed me. I'm not sure if I'm ready to wield a Keyblade. Maybe I do need to be tested."
"Riku..." Sora said. He turned back to Yen Sid. "Then count me in. Put me through the test! Just watch–me and Riku will pass with flying colors!" He put his hands behind his head in a confident pose, while Mickey, Donald, and Goofy exchanged glances.
"Okay, this is nice and all...but what the hell do you mean there's a new Spirit?!" Roxy said.
"Language," Xemnas warned.
"This Spirit is part of the Mark of Mastery exam for the boys but she is in incredible danger," Yen Sid said.
"Danger how exactly?" Yui asked. Xemnas used his magic and summoned a hologram of a Negaverse.

"The Negaverse!" you all exclaimed.
"Yes. She is being chased by these creatures to try and drag her into the darkness. She's pretty strong but where she is, the Negaverse's are stronger," Xemnas said.
"Then let's go!" you said.
"Very well, then. Sora and Riku, let your examination begin and may your search succeed," Yen Sid said. Sometime later, you and the twins awoke in a sleepy town. The three of you looked around with a great sense of nostalgia.
