The Trio against Xehanort

John soon woke up when he stood up and he sees both Shura and Arthur looking at him.

"Finally awake good then let us begin your training," says Shura as he stomped on the ground.

Dust came up and suddenly they were standing on stained glass which had John in the middle with one side representing Light and Saint in it while the other side represented Darkness and Sinner.

"We were the whole time-," says John as they nod.

"Yes, we were the whole time in 'The Dive to the Heart'. But you who is a 'Master' didn't notice it. Anyway, we should begin with your training and see if you are worthy," says Shura as he looked at Arthur.

Arthur walked forward as he removed his armor and dropped Mjølnir while taunting John to attack him while saying, "Let see what you are made of."

John rushed at Arthur when he tries to punch him only to find his fist being caught by Arthur's hand as if it was nothing while the strength that was released by the impact created ripples in space.

"You are still using those new powers," says Arthur as he jumps towards John's head before he headbutts John.

John went to the ground as he was holding his forehead before asking, "What is your head made of?"

"It is a normal head which went through hell because of Baldr's training," says Arthur as he wasn't faced when he suddenly grabbed John by his collar and pulled him up again.

"You need to forget what you have learned so you can walk the path we call the Old Way," says Shura as he walked towards John and he placed his finger on John's forehead sealing every power in his body except for Qi.

"You should learn fast since Qi is the only thing that can break you out of here now," says Arthur as he let go of John.

"We have five years. It should be enough time to have him in shape," says Shura with a smile as he walked back to his throne.

"We can't fuse with him until he mastered all eight elemental Qis. So we have to push him until then," whispers Shura knowing John wouldn't hear him.

"Then let us begin," says Arthur as his eyes exuded excitement from finally training someone again after such a long time.

In the meantime in the outside world, Sora, Donald, and Goofy took their first steps on what Xehanort thought was the First World, Scala ad Caelum.

They were amazed by the structure of the World when they walked for a bit finding twelve Xehanorts standing around them before they turned into people wearing black robes with red symbols on them while wearing helmets that resemble a ram.

Sora and the others get in position to fight when they disappear confusing the group about why they didn't attack.

"We should explore this place," says Goofy as he was sure that they would appear again sooner or later.

"Yeah, we have to save John after all," says Sora as they take their first steps walking the steps up when suddenly three of those twelve puppets appeared and attacked them by surprise.

The trio was fast to react as Goofy blocked the three using his shield before Sora and Donald used their magic to take them down.

The enemy was surrounded by black smoke which made the trio safe before the three enemies came rushing out of the smoke cloud attacking them.

Goofy successfully blocked two of them while Sora blocked one when he looks at their weapons and says, "They are using the same weapons that the members of the Organization normally use."

"Does that mean they are copies of the people you defeated before?" asks Goofy a bit confused about their actual situation when suddenly three more appeared from behind them.

"We can talk about this once we have defeated them," says Donald who suddenly used his staff to deflect the enemy attack towards the ground before he smashed his palm directly into the helmet of the enemy.

One of them was taken down just like that when Goofy and Sora followed his example taking the other five down before they continued walking up finding the other six on the way which they easily disposed of.

The trio took some deep breaths because they felt exhausted when they find Xehanort standing at the top of some steps. He seemed to have awaited them as he looked directly at them.

"Master Xehanort!" says Sora as he was ready for round two.

Xehanort was only smiling at them before he opens his arms and says, "Behold, this town. It was once the seat of power for all Keyblade Wielders. It is the Nexus from which all Worlds spring."

Suddenly the slain enemy began to radiate in a black aura as they began to float into the air which made the trio wary of what was going on before the bodies turned into a sphere of Darkness and Light.

They then suddenly all flew towards Xehanort and entered his body which confused the trio about what was going on.

"Here can I and my other selves become one. United, in Scala ad Caelum," says Xehanort reaching for the sky while his body began to be engulfed in Darkness.

The little aura suddenly flares out of his body while it surrounded Xehanort completely but the power behind it made a strong wind picked up which prevents the trio from attacking him.

Until the Darkness fades and Xehanort was standing in front of them in his Keyblade Armor holding the Gazing Eye in his hand while he began to float a bit over the ground.

"You aren't the only one that can play this game," says Sora as his ring shines before he was in his Keyblade Armor.

"Who would have thought that Yen Sid was able to create you a Keyblade Armor," says Xehanort surprised to see Sora in his armor.

The trio wanted to rush at him only to find Xehanort move his hand slightly which twisted the world making them lose balance for a moment before they recovered.

But that one moment was enough for Xehanort to grab Sora's head and throw him towards the ground followed by a barrage of fire.

Goofy rushed right after Sora to block Xehanort's attack while Donald used Flare to stop Xehanort from attacking Sora.

In the meantime in the shadows, Leon was watching the trio fight Xehanort when Demyx appears behind him.

"What do you want, Demyx?" asks Leon not wanting to call him by his real name.

"Master, I haven't seen you in this event in my prediction of the future. Nor have I seen your father sacrificing himself to save his descendant.

With all the changes made to my prediction, it would seem that you want to change your passive position on everything into an active one," says Demyx as he took one step in Leon's direction before Two Become One appeared in Leon's hand.

He pointed it at Demyx's throat and says, "I watched for long enough and I think that now is the time. I still can't believe that you let Ava fall into that hole of Karma in Quadratum."

"You knew that she was Ava," says Demyx surprised by it when Leon looked at Demyx and before he moved too fast for Demyx.

Leon was standing behind Demyx as they were back to back when Leon says, "My father thinks that Luxu is the traitor but I know who the real one was from the beginning."

"What do you mean?" asks Demyx innocently as Leon summoned the Black Box.

"You were always good at manipulating people. You used their trust in you so they would collect Light for you. They were thinking that they were saving the world but once you planted the seed of distrust you had them all in your palm even Ava who saw through everything trying to correct everything," says Leon as Demyx had an evil smile on his face right now.

"I had to do what I must to bring peace. If there is too much light Darkness will grow you should know that better than I do," says Demyx as the Kingdom Key appears in his hand but Leon strikes first decapitating him.

"I know and that's why I tolerated it at first but I should have killed you before you could do that much harm to that many people," says Leon as Demyx's body turned into Darkness.

"We will meet shortly again," says Leon as he looked back at the battlefield and sees that Xehanort wasn't in his armor any longer but in his clothes again while holding the X-Blade.

"The last curtain has fallen now will be decided who is right and who is wrong," says Leon seeing the trio fight against Xehanort on top of the Clocktower.

The trio seemed to have the upper hand in the engagement when Sora uses a Light Ray trying to defeat Xehanort only to find out that Xehanort blocked it with his hand before Kingdom Hearts behind him was engulfed in Darkness.

Then he attacks Sora with his Light Ray full of Darkness which Sora blocks with his Keyblade when Leon says, "Today Light and Darkness will cease to exist unimportant who of the two wins this battle between two convicted Hearts."

Sora seemed overwhelmed by the attack but Leon suddenly pointed his Keyblade at Xehanort wanting to give Sora the chance to win when suddenly both Donald and Goofy joined Sora remembering what John once said to them.

Flashback to the Olympus Coliseum

"One of you can be defeated easily but you three together are invincible. So if you doubt yourself look at the people beside you. They will be the ones giving you strength when you need it the most," says John to Sora, Donald, and Goofy as they were losing to him and Nesiara in their sparring matches.

"You need to create a Trinity powerful enough to defeat anything in your way," says Nesiara as the trio seemed to have lost hope in themselves.

"Don't worry, one day you will be able to pull it off," says John petting Sora's head giving them the hope back.

Back in the present.

The trio finally performed the Trinity as Goofy began to radiate in a green aura followed by Donald as he was surrounded by a blue aura when Sora began to radiate a red aura.

They combined their aura and repelled Xehanort's Last Ray which not only surprised Xehanort but also Leon who was about to help them. Then the trio holds Sora's Keyblade together before the Last Ray shot out with their combined strength which defeated the surprised Xehanort.

"It seems they didn't need my help at all," says Leon as the Keyblade in his hand disappears.
