"Breath... should I take a deep?" Ruby is shown sitting alone on the clock tower as she stares out at the sunset. "Faith... should I take the leap?" Roxas is shown in his organization thirteen cloaks with the hood up. "Taste... what a bittersweet!" The two are shown walking the opposite direction of one another before they are shown looking at one another from over their shoulders. "All my, all my life!" Axel is shown walking over to Roxas and putting his arm around his neck and pulling him away. "Let me face!" Ruby is shown looking away as she stands alone. "Let me face!" Light flashes and Ruby is shown running from Nobodies that suddenly attack. "Let me face my fears!" Roxas is shown looking down sadly as he was forced to follow orders. "Let me face! Let me face! Let me face my fears!" Light flashes and Ruby is shown laughing as she sits next to Roxas as the two talk. "Won't be long!" Light flashes and Ruby is shown standing with shock on her face as Roxas is shown standing in front of her. "Won't be long!" Light flashes and Ruby is shown crying as she stands alone. "I'm almost here!" Light flashes as Sora and Roxas are shown on separate screens before Roxas is shown fading away and Sora is shown alone. "Watch me cry all my tears!" Ruby is staring at the sky as it looks like doves fly around her. "Let me face!" Light flashes as Ruby is shown floating back as she reaches up. "Let me face!" Roxas, Ruby, Xion and Axel are shown laughing together as Ruby and Roxas sit beside one another. "Let me face my fears!" Music continues to play as Ruby and Roxas are shown reuniting before Ruby is shown sitting alone as she stares out at the sky and the title is shown above her.

Axel headed off to Radiant Garden and Ruby went with. She wandered off from training though as she was further in her training than Axel. She stares out at the flower field.

'Ruby?' Mai's call out. Ruby gasps as Mai appears in front of her.

"Mai..." Ruby says.

"You'll find him won't you? My big brother?" Mai asks.

"I promised I would. And who knows maybe I already have." Ruby states.

"Then... will you save him?" Mai asks.

"Why have you been sleeping for so long?" Ruby asks. Mai smiles at her.

"You didn't need me anymore." Mai explains, "Truth is, I'm leaving for good."

"Leaving?" Ruby asks.

"You see, I am you." Mai replies.

"What?" Ruby asks.

"You split your heart... After you came to this world. You split it into two. One became me and the other... stayed in the in between." Mai explains, "When you were ready to live again, you merged with me again. Or I merged into you. My big brother... is your big brother. He recognizes you as such." Ruby thought about how Terra reached out for her.

"Yeah, he does." Ruby explains, "I'll bring Terra, Aqua and Ventus back."

"So this is goodbye." Mai says, "I enjoyed living for you." Mai smiles and she disappears into Ruby again. Ruby didn't feel Mai's presence anymore.

[A Few Days Later]

"Sora's late. Do ya think he's okay?" Goofy asks.

"Awe." Donald whines.

"Gawrsh, Lea sure hurried back to Radiant Garden, and now Master Yen Sid's sending Riku away too on some mystery errand." Goofy says an and Donald looks at him, "Ya think we'll ever get to do something important?" Donald jumps up in shock.

"Hmm?" Goofy asks and sits up as well. They look over and gasp in shock.

"Oh! Welcome back, Riku!" Goofy exclaims, "Hey, wait..." Goofy and Donald gasp in shock at their mysterious guest.
