When Luxu leaves to fulfill his role assigned to him by the Master, the Foretellers are shocked and confused by his sudden disappearance. Shortly thereafter, the Master requests to meet with Aced alone in the Foreteller's Chamber. Aced arrives before the Master of Masters, who teases Aced by pretending to not know the reason why they are meeting. The Master then proceeds to inform Aced that his role is to be Ira's right-hand man, much to Aced's disappointment, as Aced was eager to inherit the position. While the Master of Masters understands, he tells Aced that enthusiasm alone just isn't enough, and that Ira needs someone like Aced to guide him in the right direction. Although Aced agrees that Ira is the most qualified among the Foretellers for the role, he expresses his confusion to why Ira is being promoted to the leader of the Foretellers. Grimly, the Master mentions that he could one day disappear, and that regardless of whether or not he does, it is Aced's job to support Ira. Elaborating, the Master explains that somewhere down the line Ira's leadership may be brought into question, at which point it is Aced's duty to step forward. With this in mind, Aced happily accepts his role and parts ways with the Master.

Aced, alongside his fellow Foretellers, are soon introduced to the Master's new creation the [[Chirithy]]. Though the [[Dream Eater|Spirit]] Chirithy are meant to aid Keyblade wielders in their endeavors, the Master warns them that should a wielder fall to [[darkness]], so will their Chirithy, causing them to transform into a Nightmare. Aced suggests that they destroy any [[Dream Eaters|Nightmare]] Chirithy they come across; however, Ava refutes such a thing as a possibility. When Gula comments on Aced's identity as the bear because of his scary demeanor, Ava teases that Aced could simply growl at the Nightmare instead, much to Aced's dismay.

Without warning, the Master disappears from the world, and although the Foretellers actively seek him out, they are unable to locate him. Upholdinh the Master's teachings, Aced and the other Foretellers begin recruiting Keyblade wielders to each of their Unions, utilizing the powers of their copies of the Book of Prophecies and powers from the future in the form of [[Medal (KHUχ)|Medals]] to aid their wielders in collecting [[Lux]] to maintain the balance.

Having watched [[Player (KHχ)|Player]] defeat countless [[Heartless]] throughout [[Daybreak Town]], Aced approaches Player and commends his abilities. However, Aced offers some words of wisdom in regard to defeating larger Heartless, suggesting that Player combine his strength with fellow Union members and making his friends his power; leaving Player to defeat a [[Darkside]] alongside other members of the Ursus Union. After the Darkside is defeated, Aced reappears, warning Player that there are others who collect Light, but that not all among them share the same goal of bringing peace to the world; though Aced leaves it up to Player to discern who walks the path of Darkness; leaving shortly thereafter.

The Foretellers take notice of the Keyblade wielders utilizing Bangles that, when equipped, provide the power to collect dark energy, ultimately settling on the fact that their wielder's utilizing the Bangles was okay.

Ira calls a meeting among the Foretellers in the Foreteller's Chamber, where he announces that there is a traitor among them. Shocked - Invi asks what proof Ira has to make such accusations, prompting Ira to reveal a Chirithy that he caught snooping around. As Ava notes the dark pattern of the Chirithy, Invi suggests that the Chirithy before them could be a Nightmare. Aced immediately denies that he is the traitor - prompting Gula to suggest an easy solution: have each of the Foretellers summon their Spirits. Even so, Invi tells Gula that it's not that easy, because of the amount of wielders under each Union, it would be easy for any of them to summon a Chirithy that isn't a Nightmare. Piping up, Ava questions why the Nightmare even necessarily has to belong to one of the Foretellers. Ira brushes this off as unlikely, reminding everyone of the Bangles - and while the Foretellers don't tend to concern themselves with the tools at their wielders' disposal, Ira is of the mind that the Bangles are the Nightmare's doing. When Ava questions this, Ira explains that utilizing the dark energy collected by the Bangles is the same as wielding the power of Darkness. Commending the plot, Gula elaborates that because all Chirithy look the same and Keyblade wielders are in such high quantity, it'd be impossible to discern who the Nightmare belongs to. As the Foretellers look to Ira for guidance, he suggests that only one of them could have obtained the Bangles, meaning that the traitor has to be one of the Foretellers. Questioning Ira's leadership as he spreads doubt, Aced storms off on his own, adjuring the meeting.

When Neoshadows appear in Daybreak Town, Player joins three other Keyblade wielders in their efforts to quash the Darkness being spread by the new species of Heartless; however in the end Player is the only one to survive. After Chirithy witnesses another of his kind fade, Aced appears to speak with him; revealing that while the Keyblade wielders are gathering Lux at an amazing rate, the Darkness is spreading even faster. With this, Chirithy asks if that means that there really is a traitor among them - to which Aced states that she's not willing to believe that yet.

One night, Player is shown a dream by Chirithy, in which Aced meets with the Master of Masters in the Foreteller's Chamber alongside Ava, Gula, Invi and Ira - though Nightmare Chirithy quickly puts a stop to this dream.

A few days later, Aced asks Ava and Gula to meet with him, where he voices his frustration against Ira. When Aced asks his fellow Foretellers' opinions on what Ira had said, Gula admits that he doesn't believe it and that Ira's argument had no merit. Ultimately it was just as Invi had said, Ira was making assumptions because of the severity of the situation without any evidence to tie his claims to anyone, let alone tie them to one of the Foretellers. Ava suggests that there may be something Ira hasn't told them, which aggravates Aced further as he believes that as his comrades Ira should trust in them. Mentioning that he doesn't see the Foretellers as comrades, Gula grows impatient as asks what Aced brought him and Ava there to discuss. Coming clean, Aced reveals that he wants the three of them to form an alliance - however Ava reminds him that alliances are forbidden. Having expected this, Gula asks if Aced intends on joining forces in order to confront Ira. Aced admits that such a thing would be pointless - and while he knows that Darkness is at work, Ira is only concerned about identifying the traitor rather than fighting it; thus this is what Aced wants to do. Tempted, Gula agrees to join Aced's alliance, but specifies that it is only between them for the time being, as he doesn't want to involve the members of the Leopardus Union. Ava is shocked by Gula's decision and opts to follow the Master of Master's teaching instead. With this, Gula asks if Ira and Invi know about what Aced is planning. Aced admits that he couldn't tell Ira for obvious reasons, but that he had invited Invi to join them. With that, Invi arrives, and Aced extends his offer of alliance to her as well - however Invi sees this as a defiant act in pursuit of power, suggesting that Aced has been tainted by Darkness. Conversely, Aced suggests that it is Invi who's been tainted by Darkness, as she reports their actions back to Ira and could for all they know be conspiring with Ira behind their backs. With this, Aced parts ways with his fellow Foretellers.

Following the Dark Corridor Trials, Chirithy ventures to the Foreteller's Chamber to report to Aced. Aced is happy to hear that Player has made such progress, but Chirithy asks if it wasn't a little too early to send Player on such a mission. Aced laments that he has no choice but to hasten Player's training, as he must strengthen their resistance to Darkness as quickly as possible. When Chirithy asks why, Aced reports that the Darkness draws near, and that they will require as many warriors as they can get on the side of Light; which Chirithy shakily accepts.
