Spyro's and Ventus's Past/Aqua, Stealth Elf and Jet-Vac go to the Keyblade Graveyard

(On a bright and sunny beach, the world ripples, growing darker and lighter in rotation as a shining portal appears, knocking Ven, Spyro and Pop Fizz out onto the sand. They stands up, and runs back to the portal)

Ventus: Wait, Terra!

Spyro: Stop, Eruptor!

(The portal closes, leaving them there. They gasps and moves to engage their armor)

???????: Going somewhere?

(Ven and his friends looks above the bridge they stands under, seeing Vanitas and Dark Spyro)

Ventus: We're through with you!

(He starts walking toward the Cove)

Dark Sptro: Well, we're just getting started with you. You're strong enough now to fulfill your purpose.

(They summons their Keyblade)

Vanitas: So what are you waiting for? Join with us right here and now. Become the X-blade.

Pop Fizz: No, they won't do it. They told them, the only way the X-blade can be forged is if you, your Dragon, Ventus and Spyro fight.

Spyro: Well guess what? We're not fighting.

(Thsy stares at Ven and Spyro, their reflection paralleled in Vanitas's dark helmet)

Vanitas: You used to be too broken to talk back.

(Ven and Spyro clutches their head in pain, and a memory surges in their mind. They stands in The Badlands, surrounded by Neoshadow Heartless. With Keyblade in hand, they gasps in fear)

Ventus (frightened): Please don't do this, Master. I'm not strong enough.

Spyro (frightened):

(They looks up and sees Master Xehanort upon a cliff)

Master Xehanort: No. It is because you are trying to hold it in. Let the dark impulses waken in the pit of your heart. Release them, here and now! Sharpen your fear into rage.

(Dark pools appear in the circle, releasing more Heartless)

Master Xehanort: You must! If you do not let the storm within you run its course, it will wipe you from the face of the world, make no mistake!

(The Heartless creep closer to Ventus and Spyro)

Master Xehanort: Do it. Embrace the darkness. Produce for your Master the Chi-blade!

(He lifts his arms into the air and the Heartless leap toward Ventus and Spyro, who screams, covering their face with their arm. Later, Ventus and Spyro lies face down on the ground, Xehanort's eyes cast down on their body)

Master Xehanort: Really? You would rather die than use the power? Feckless neophyte.

(Xehanort turns Ventus and Spyro's body over with his boot)

Master Xehanort: If I must...I will extract the darkness from within you myself.

(He summons his Keyblade, raising it blade down, pointing at Ventus and Spyro. An orange glow appears at the end of it. A beam of black and orange shoots down into Ventus and Spyro's chest. Their eyes and mouth open and stare blankly as their chest glows with the brightest light. Their heart rises out of his body, and a dark orb is formed nearby. The orb opens and Vanitas and Dark Spyro uncurls themselves from inside, glowing with a purple aura. Ventus and Spyro groans as the light on their chest makes their body rise off the ground. It disippates, making them fall, as their eyes grow dull and lifeless. Vanitas and Dark Spyro floats to the ground)

Master Xehanort: Empty creature from Ventus and Spyro riven...to you, the name Vanitas and Dark Spyro shall be given.

Vanitas: Yes, Master.

Dark Spyro: Of course.

(Ven and Spyro stands, still clutching his head)

Vanitas: Fine. Then we'll give you a reason to fight.

Ventus: What?

Dark Spyro: Come and find us...at the one and only place to spawn the X-blade--the Keyblade Graveyard. There you're gonna see me choke the life out of Terra, Eruptor, Stealth Elf, Jet-Vac and Aqua. Then we'll see how long you play the pacifist.

(Vanitas and Dark Spyro turns, entering a black portal)

Ventus: Wait!

(They runs toward the bridge, but Vanitas and Dark Spyro disappears. Ventus and his friends takes out their Wayfinder)

Ventus: Terra, Aqua... I swear I'll put an end to this.

Spyro:

(They summons their Keyblade and points it toward the dock, engaging their armor, and leaving the Destiny Islands.)
