A New Departure

"A New Departure (新たなる旅立ち, "A New Journey") is the first chapter of Kingdom Hearts III.
== Summary ==
After failing his Mark of Mastery exam, Sora prepares to embark on a new adventure to defeat Xehanort with his old pals Donald and Goofy!
== Synopsis ==
At Mysterious Tower, Master Yen Sid tells Sora, Donald Duck, and Goofy that the time has come to defeat Xehanort, though they need the help of others to do so. He tells Sora that his Mark of Mastery exam, which he has failed, was conducted in order to unlock a new power to help them, but darkness nearly took hold of him and stripped him of most of his acquired powers and abilities instead.
Sora becomes upset, but Donald, Goofy and Yen Sid repeat Sora's failure to him until he claims he doesn't need to become a master and demonstrates his ability to still perform a dodge roll. Yen Sid tells Sora that he can regain his lost power though he must do so before he gains the Power of Waking. He advises Sora to "let his heart be his guiding key" and watches the trio depart, wondering what lies in store for them.
