After bringing the comatose Sora back to the [[Mysterious Tower]], Riku uses the [[power of waking]] to dive into {{nihongo|"'''{{a|Sora's Soul World}}'''"|ソラの精神世界|Sora no Seishin Sekai}}, drifting past memories and various floating Soras. Upon landing, he finds the stained glass window floor consumed by inky darkness, from which emerges the [[Armored Ventus Nightmare]]—Sora trapped inside [[Ventus]]'s [[Nightmare]]-possessed [[Keyblade Armor]]. When Riku defeats the Nightmare, the armor shatters, releasing Sora. The darkness envelopes Sora as it dissipates. Riku picks up Sora's dropped Keyblade and uses it to unlock the [[Sleeping Keyhole]] of Sora's heart.
When Sora falls into darkness, his sleeping body, clad in Ventus's Keyblade Armor, lies down on a new variation of the second blue Station from ''Kingdom Hearts II'' with the background of Destiny Islands and the black crown symbols from his ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' Station.
 
After bringing the comatose Sora back to the [[Mysterious Tower]], Riku uses the [[power of waking]] to dive into {{nihongo|"'''{{a|Sora's Soul World}}'''"|ソラの精神世界|Sora no Seishin Sekai}}, drifting past memories and various floating Soras. In the background of this Dive is the second blue Station from  ''Kingdom Hearts II''. Upon landing, he finds the stained glass window floor consumed by inky darkness, from which emerges the [[Armored Ventus Nightmare]]—Sora trapped inside [[Ventus]]'s [[Nightmare]]-possessed [[Keyblade Armor]]. When Riku defeats the Nightmare, the armor shatters, releasing Sora. The darkness envelopes Sora as it dissipates, with his Station reverting back to new version. Riku picks up Sora's dropped Keyblade and uses it to unlock the [[Sleeping Keyhole]] of Sora's heart.


In a flash of light, he suddenly finds himself on a facsimile of the dock at [[Destiny Islands]], at sunset.<!--do we know yet if this is the same one we saw in KH1?--> Walking around on the beach, Riku encounters Roxas, Ventus, and [[Xion]], each asking him a different question: "What are you so afraid of?", "What do you value more than anything else?", and "What do you wish?". After Riku answers each of their questions, there is another bright flash of light, and Riku finds himself back on the beach, where he sees a message in a bottle drifting ashore. When Riku picks it up, a digitized version of [[Ansem the Wise]] appears, placed inside Sora's heart along with his research data [[Ansem's Code]]. Ansem the Wise reflects upon the strength of Sora's heart and theorizes that Sora may have the power to recreate people long thought lost forever. All Sora needs to do is be himself and follow wherever it is that his heart takes him. The rest is in the data in that bottle Riku just found.

Following [[Xehanort]]'s defeat, Sora uses the power of waking one more time to go back in time and try to save Kairi. During this journey, he travels through the Dives to the Heart of Ventus, Aqua, Terra, Roxas, and Riku, using the connections in the hearts of his friends to lead himself to Kairi's heart.

==Trivia==
*When Ventus lends his Keyblade armor to Sora for protection as he falls into darkness in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'',  Sora's sleeping body lies down on a new variation of his Station, original to the game. However, during the dive segment before the final battle, the second blue Station from ''Kingdom Hearts II'' can be seen in the background instead.  After the [[Armored Ventus Nightmare]]'s defeat, the Station changes back to the new version.
