You were battling your way through data recreations of other wielders, training like others who wield keyblades.

"Whoo!" You exclaimed, the data projection disappearing.

You exited the building the battles took place in, and started walking towards the forteller's tower, to continue looking for more notes from the master of masters.

You'd found 3 at this point, each informing you of something you needed to do or a place you needed to be. You found them just when needed for everything to be perfectly timed. The 2nd and 3rd had told you when to look for the next one too.

The 3rd said today.

You'd been looking around your room for an hour.

Nothing.

Unless it wasn't in your room.

You rushed out of your room and just recklessly dashed through the large maze-like tower knowing that wherever you went, the next note would be.

You found yourself in a room covered in gears, as you looked around at them as they glitched.

After a bit, Ventus came up, looking for Brain when suddenly weird glitchy cube heartless appeared, the two of you barely holding them off.

After a bit the two of you were trapped in a corner, when Ephemer and a brown haired boy came up through the lift in the floor, Ephemer jumping and taking the remaining heartless out.

"Ephemer! Thank goodness!" Ventus shouted, dashing towards the white haired boy.

"Yeah, we were in a real pickle there, thanks!" You added, putting away your keyblade.

"I didn't expect to see you here Ven. [Y/N] you just wander about randomly so I'm not sure if I'm surprised or not." Ephemer added, the three of you chuckling.

"Me and Skuld were talking when a glitchy Master Ava appeared ... or something that looked like her. And-" Ven said before being interrupted by the brown haired boy approaching.

"This is my friend. Damian." Ephemer said, Damian just nodding.

Damian, the name on the 6th door. You thought to yourself.

"Oh, it's nice to meet you!" Ven replied.

"Yeah." You said, shaking Damian's hand.

"And then what?" Ephemer said, turning the conversation back to what happened before Ven arrived here.

"Oh right. And I thought Brain might know something, so I came looking for him." Ven said, finishing the explanation from earlier.

"He's in the control room?" Ephemer asked.

"Yup." Ven answered.

"Not...you." Something said behind the four of you, you all turning towards it.

Just then, 4 humanoid heartless appeared. They had hoods with ears, wings, gloves and tattered shorts, with two red bands across their chests in an X shape.

Looking at their gloves you immediately noticed that they had the pattern of a keyblade handle on the palm, a sight you'd seen too much on your own palms from after intense fights.

"They're all around us!" Damian's Chirithy said before vanishing.

You resummoned your keyblade and dashed at the closest one to you, splitting it apart through its body.
