;After quest
[Maleficent walks around the room with the lifeboat.]
*: "What is this world?"
*: "It's the real world. Congratulations on your successful escape."
*Maleficent: "I have returned to my own time?"
*Darkness: "No, this is still the past. You just made it back to the real world from the data world."
*Maleficent: "My patience wears thin. Tell me how to return to where and when I came from!"
*Darkness: "With this pod."
*Maleficent: "What!? Then why have you brought me here?"
*Darkness: "We had to leave the data world... ...before we could even try to travel through time."
*Maleficent: "Why not do both at once?"
*Darkness: "Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that."
*Darkness: "The lifeboat was only made to travel to other world, so we're already pushing it to its limits."
*Maleficent: "Hmph! No matter. So long as I finally reach my destination this time."
*Darkness: "Of course."
*Maleficent: "And will you be joining me? You should be able to, seeing as you have no physical form to hinder you."
*Darkness: "I'll stay here. You'll be fine on your own, and I have some unfinished business to take care of."
[Skuld walks up to Ephemer, sitting at the table.]
*: "Is Ven all right?"
*: "He's fast asleep in his room. He seemed pretty exhausted."
*Ephemer: "Oh..."
[Skuld puts her hand on Ephemer's shoulder.]
*Skuld: "He had his head in his hands the whole time. The memories that came back must've been a real shock."
[Ephemer and Skuld look at Brain, who is sitting at a desk further away.]
*Skuld: "None of this is his fault, right?"
*Skuld: "Can you tell us what's going on?"
*: "Well, we still don't know all the facts. But going by Ven's story, we know he was there during Strelitzia's final moments. As for who's behind this whole thing..."
*Ephemer: "...Darkness."
*Skuld: "What?"
*Brain: "Yes. Darkness could be much closer than we thought, working right under our noses."
[Luxu approaches the Master of Masters in a room filled with monitors showing the worlds.]
*: "Hmmm..."
*Luxu: "Hmmm..."
*Luxu: "HMMM..."
*: "What? What is it? What's the problem?"
*Luxu: "We can't get rid of the darkness in this world, so we're ending it to escape into another one. We can't win against the darkness, can we?"
*Master of Masters: "You don't sound too happy about that."
*Luxu: "Of course not! As Keyblade wielders, we're supposed to fight against the darkness. But we're just giving up and running away!"
*Master of Masters: "It sounds bad when you put it like that."
*Luxu: "There's no other way to put it. And we're gonna have to keep running wherever we go."
*Master of Masters: "Oh, Luxu."
*Master of Masters: "I took you under my wing and taught you everything I know. Which is apparently nothing."
*Luxu: "What's that supposed to mean?"
*Master of Masters: "You think too much."
*Master of Masters: "You think and think until you come to some convoluted conclusion, then you get all worked up thinking that must be the answer. And if you don't understand something, you get all worked up concluding that there is no answer. But the answer will come in time."
*Luxu: "So I should just wait and see what happens?"
*Master of Masters: "As long as you keep moving forward, you'll wind up somewhere."
*Luxu: "Hmmm..."
*Master of Masters: "What is it now?"
*Luxu: "Well... I don't like the idea of waiting around for something to happen."
*Master of Masters: "So you want to go through life knowing what's coming?."
*Luxu: "That's not—"
*Master of Masters: "There's a way to win against the darkness."
*Luxu: "Huh!?"
*Master of Masters: "But it isn't easy. It takes time and careful planning."
*Master of Masters: "So much that you couldn't do it in one lifetime, or even two. That's why we need to leave this world—to bring it to an end, to abandon the notion of time and what separates our worlds."
*Master of Masters: "All so we can defeat the darkness."
[Ven is sleeping in his room. In his dream, Strelitzia and her Chirithy enter the abandoned building.]
*: "He has to be here. This is the only place we haven't checked.
*Strelitzia's Chirithy: "Maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me."
*Strelitzia: "Hello! Is anyone here?"
*Strelitzia: "Hello?"
*Strelitzia's Chirithy: "I guess I was wrong."
*Strelitzia: "Well, it was worth a shot. I'll head back to Fountain Square."
*Strelitzia's Chirithy: "Okay. I'll keep searching."
*Strelitzia's Chirithy: "Hm?"
*Strelitzia: "What?"
[A shadow strikes down Strelitzia and her Chirithy.]
*Darkness: "Pick that up."
[Ventus picks up Strelitzia's rulebook. A shadowy figure is behind him.]
*Strelitzia's Chirithy: "Why...?"
*Darkness: "Let's go."
[Ventus nods and walks towards the door.]
*Strelitzia: "...Lauriam..."
[As the shadowy figure enters the daylight, it's shape changes to Master Ava.]
[Ventus wakes up with tears running down his face.]
