As [[Ventus]] travels between worlds, he is attacked by a mysterious Unversed. He fights it off, but the Metamorphosis flies towards the [[Grand Councilwoman]]'s spaceship. Ventus trails after it and pursues it throughout the ship, meeting [[Experiment 626]] along the way. Ventus eventually catches up to the Metamorphosis in the engine room, where it had been causing large amounts of damage, and teams up with Experiment 626 to defeat it.

{{w|Metamorphosis}} is the process during which one thing turns into another, reflecting [[Gantu]]'s belief that Experiment 626 had transformed into this Unversed.

The first battle against the Metamorphosis takes place in the [[Lanes Between]], with Ventus fighting from atop his [[Keyblade Glider]]. The command menu will change only to host four commands. {{Button|t}} will let Ventus use the Charge technique, {{Button|c}} will allow him to jump, {{Button|s}} will allow him to put up a barrier, and {{Button|x}} will allow him to attack the Unversed boss. As this is a change in the battle system, no [[Command Style]]s may be used. While the Focus and D-Link Gauge will be filled and ready for use, they too cannot be used. The player does not need to deplete the Metamorphosis's HP to zero in this battle. All they must do is attack until the battle ends automatically and survive.

The second all-out battle against the Metamorphosis is unique, as well. Not only will the player have [[Experiment 626]] as a party member, but they also will have to prevent the ship's engine from taking too much damage. Ventus can use [[Shotlock]]s and [[Command Style]]s but not [[D-Link]]s due to 626's presence. Instead, the player should use 626's presence to their advantage, as he is the key to being triumphant in this battle. He also doesn't need to be healed, automatically reviving if his HP hits zero.  

At the start of the battle, again Lock-On to the Metamorphosis. Begin hitting it with aerial combos, but do not get cocky. The Unversed will soon begin to fly out of attack range, certain Deck Commands only able to hit it at this point. Should the Metamorphosis latch onto the glowing column in the center of the battlefield, the yellow bar indicating the engine's damage on the top-left of the screen will begin to fill (if the bar fills at this or any point during the battle, Ventus will lose and have to retry the boss fight). Bombard the Unversed with Ventus's strongest long-range or aerial combos, attacks such as Tornado Strike recommended (press {{Button|t}} when the on-screen prompt appears each time for maximum results). In terms of its counterattacks, the Metamorphosis will only rush at the player or spin like a top towards Ventus, its arms slashing as it does. It can also spin around while shooting lightning from its arms, and it can also fire a laser from its tail.
