The group run all the way up to the top of the Castle once more, dealing with the seemingly endless hordes of Heartless. Once you make it all the way to the top, you see Xemnas raising his arms up to the moon. Due to the destruction of the machine Ansem the Wise had, there was a large hole in the middle of it.
Xemnas: Ohh...my Kingdom Hearts...ruined. Now I'll have to start all over again. Warriors of the Keyblade!
He turns around and faces you.
Xemnas: Go forth, and bring me more hearts!
Mickey, Sora, Riku and Y/n: No!
You each point at him with your appearing Keyblades.
Xemnas: Denizens of light, answer this: Why do you hate the darkness?
Mickey: Aw, we don't hate it. It's just kinda...scary. But the world's made of light AND darkness. You can't have one without the other, 'cause darkness is half of everything. Sorta makes ya wonder why we are scared of the dark.
Riku: It's because of who's lurking inside it.
Xemnas: Then allow me another question. You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark---never given a choice?
Riku: That's simple. It's because you mess up our worlds.
Xemnas: That may be... However, what other choice might we have had?
Sora: Just give it a rest! You're Nobodies! You don't even exist! You're not sad about anything!
Xemnas: Very good. You don't miss a thing. I cannot feel---sorrow... No matter what misery befalls the worlds. No matter what you think, what you feel, or how you exist. But what about Y/n? He is a Nobody as well.
Y/n: That's where you're wrong Xemnas. Yes, I was nothing at first, but because of Roxas, Axel, Xion, Bobble and her friends. And now Riku and Sora! They gave me a heart!
Xemnas only laughs and raises his hand, a burst of blinding light causes everyone to turn away. Opening your eyes again you can't see Xemnas anywhere.
Bobble: Where did he go?
Donald turns towards the moon and sees Xemnas floating near it.
Donald: Up there!
Xemnas: Hear me, Kingdom Hearts! It seems we must begin anew. Ah, but know this: I will give to you as many hearts as it takes. Mark my words! You can no more be complete without me than I without you. Heed me, Kingdom Hearts! Lend me your power, so that we may be complete! The power to erase the fools that hinder us.
Riku: Xemnas! No!
Xemnas: Hearts quivering with hatred... Sora: Xemnas! Don't!
Xemnas: Hearts burning with rage...
Y/n: You'll never win!
Xemnas: Hearts scarred by envy... That fool Ansem said the heart's true nature was beyond his understanding. But it's not beyond mine! Hearts are the source of all power!
The moon glows insanely bright and Xemnas disappears.
Sora: Xemnas! You can't hide from us!
Mickey: We're not gonna let him get away now!
Kairi: Look at that!
A door appears
Goofy: What's goin' on?
Mickey: Kingdom Hearts...
Riku: Let's go. Xemnas must be inside.
Mickey: The worlds gave us this doorway. They want us to be the guardians of their destiny!
