In the Kingdom of Corona, Sora, Donald, and Goofy are confronted by [[Marluxia]], who introduces himself and claims to be serving the Real Organization XIII; having met him at a time when [[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories|their memories had been tampered with]], Sora, Donald and Goofy obviously do not recognize him.
