The next morning... it was time for Terra and Aqua to take the Mark of Mastery exam. Both Master Eraqus and Master Xehanort are present, sitting on the thrones and Hikari who had passed the Mark of Mastery exam long time ago watched with Ventus while noticing the sinister look on Master Xehanort's face. Then, she and Ventus saw Master Eraqus standing up and had to stand straight.

Master Eraqus walked up to Terra and Aqua and announced, "Today you will be examined for the Mark of Mastery. Not one but two of the Keyblade's chosen stand here as candidates... but this is neither a competition nor a battle for supremacy—not a test of wills, but a test of heart. Both of you may prevail, or neither. But I am sure our guest, Master Xehanort... did not travel all this way to see our youngest prospects in years fall short of the Mark." He looked over at Master Xehanort who nodded and turns to Terra and Aqua. "I trust you are ready."

Terra and Aqua nodded. "Yes."

"Then let the examination begin," Master Eraqus said, summoning his Master's Defender Keyblade to summon up orbs.

Terra and Aqua summoned their Keyblades and gets into their battle stances. Soon, Master Xehanort mysteriously makes the orbs move with his dark powers. Terra, Aqua and Master Eraqus gasped while Master Xehanort smiled sinisterly. Terra and Aqua destroyed the orbs. Hikari knew that there's something suspicious about Master Xehanort but she and Ventus are unaware that the orbs are heading towards them.

"Ven! Hikari!" Terra and Aqua cried.

Ventus and Hikari summoned their Keyblades and destroys the orbs.

"Don't worry about us," Ventus said.

"We'll be fine," Hikari said. "You two focus on the exam!"

"But Ven's in danger here!" Aqua said to Hikari. "Take him back to his room."

"No way! We've been looking forward to this—" Ventus said.

"Yeah..." Hikari agreed. "Seeing you two become Masters. We're not gonna miss it now. And besides... Ven can take care of himself."

"Hikari's right," Terra said to Aqua. "He's been out there training just as hard as us."

"And I can also take of myself since I'm already a Keyblade Master," said Hikari.

Aqua nodded. "Stay sharp, you two."

The four fought all the orbs and Hikari had an idea. "I just got an idea, guys. Watch this." She unleashed her power move: Ocean Breeze. The Ocean Breeze is Hikari's power move consisting of water and ice magic. Her power move defeated all the orbs.

Terra was surprised. "Hikari... that was incredible."

"I wish I has that power like that," Ventus said, admiring Hikari's power move.

Aqua started to smile. "Awwww... that means you must like Hikari."

Ventus and Hikari blushed. Before they could tease Aqua about her and Terra, Eraqus spoke up. "That's enough." He then turned to Aqua and Terra. "That was unexpected... but one must keep a still heart even in the most trying of circumstances. It was an excellent test, one I chose to let unfold. Which brings us to your next trial."
