[The video of the nightmare abruptly starts as the communicator clatters to the floor, dropped by its owner. Aqua is thrown back against a large rock face with a dull smack, debris dislodging from the impact around her. It's all she can do to keep her grip on her Master's Keyblade. Stepping into view is
a masked boy with a strange, red and black weapon in hand, and
a bald man, elderly and stooped with age. He smiles, unnatural yellowish eyes wide, and speaks in a hoarsely amused voice.]
It seems your strength has grown, Master Aqua. But now you are outnumbered and outmatched. Where are your beloved friends to help you in your most desperate hour of need?
[The dream isn't dissimilar from what Aqua has experienced before; in fact, it's like a continuation of a
past battle. But although the old Keyblade Master and his apprentice are present, she no longer has the assistance of her two best friends, nor the protection of her armour. Alone she could defeat either of them, but together, they're an overwhelming force. The only reason she hasn't been killed so far is because they're merely toying with her, trying to make her suffer as much as possible.
Aqua is trapped between them and the cliff at her back, cornered but defiant. Even in the dream state, she knows Ven is safe; there's only one person on her mind.]
Tell me! What have you done with Terra?!
[The masked boy lets out a short, chilling laugh.] If I were you, I'd worry more about myself.
[Aqua leans on the rock for support as she struggles to rise to her feet. In retaliation, the old man shoots an ice spell at her. She's too slow to react. The jet of ice strikes her foot, a covering of frost beginning to spread across her leg and as it becomes frozen immobile. She grits her teeth, but betrays no other sign of pain, glaring at the two. The boy looks on impassively while the old man still looks amused.]
You see? For all your talk of friendship, you're just as great a fool as Eraqus. And so you will meet the same end.
No! I won't let you hurt anyone else...! Never again! [She staggers to her feet, and regardless of her battle wounds, there's fury in her eyes. She raises Eraqus' Keyblade. As she focuses, energy gathers around the end of it -- and shoots out.
An immense Mega Flare spell is launched at the two. The helmeted boy breaks out into maniacal laughter, then the explosion engulfs the screen in blinding white. The feed cuts as the communicator is caught in the ensuing blast.]
