  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.

==Synopsis==
While examining his [[Keyblade]], the darkness cracks beneath [[Sora]]'s feet, causing him to fall at the feet of a [[Darkside]]. The Darkside attacks, and Sora tries to flee, but gets hit anyway. The voice from his dream encourages him to fight back. Sora uses his experience from practicing swordfighting with [[Riku]] to defeat several [[Shadow]]s. He realizes he has to take down the Darkside, but doesn't know how. The voice mentions how the eyes are a weak point of giant enemies, and Sora manages to strike the Darkside in the face.


==Worlds and characters==
With the [[Kingdom Key|Keyblade]] in hand, [[Sora]] becomes more confused than ever before. A [[Darkside]] then appears before him and Sora flees for his life, when a voice tells him not to be afraid. So , Sora decides to stand and fight, proclaiming "Don't mess with me! I've been sword fighting with [[Riku]] for ages!" After fighting the [[Shadow|shadows]], to seamlessly no end, Sora realizes he needs to take down "the big one". He then leaps into the air, striking the Darkside in the head and defeating it with one, single blow...
