{Cutscene}

• Exo Stranger: In the beginning, there was only one...a single black infinitude. Then the infinitude found release, and finally, the darkness broke, filling it with life. With the Multiverse. Every existence multiplied by possibility, and spread out before space and time in infinite measure. Civilizations rose and fell, and rose again to cross realities grasping expanse. Life, a precious gift that took the form of the Traveler, persevering in the face of every obstacle, until finally, the age of heroes and Guardians was born. Chaos, the constant enemy of life, kept at bay by champions from across the Multiverse. Joining forces to fight on behalf of all creation, they found each other just in time. But then, the Darkness came. (Music plays) Ever since the deaths of its forces at the hands of the heroes, the Pyramids scoured the entire universe, looking for a new champion to lead our enemies to victory... until one day, they found not one, but two... in the forms of Kirito and Asuna, teenage players from the world of Sword Art Online who united all of our enemies to annihilate the multiverse's heroes, including one of our own, and bring an end to both the Light and the time of past heroes and villains alike. This isn't just my story and yours... it is also the story of a girl who vowed to avenge the deaths of her parents and became the Dragon Queen. While our stories are different, they all began with a Splinter.

LOCATION: Clarity Control, Europa

Kneeling before an Ascendant gateway, a shadowy, armored figure bows.

• Winnower's Servant: The Dragon’s Eye has awakened. It is on a little world. A human world. They would only wield its power…

As it spoke, it faced two shadows: Kirito and Asuna. Kirito is handed the Shadow Elucidator, a pitch black sword fitted with Taken trims of black emeralds, each encircled with Hive runes, while Asuna is given the Proto-Thorn, a corrupted Scout Rifle adorned with dark, green blades. Then, it turned its head back to the gateway.

• Winnower's Servant: But our allies know its workings as they never will. They are ready to lead. And our forces will follow.

Tens of thousands of millions of the Darkness’s forces stand ready in a diabolically seething mass of neat rows and columns… the ground simply roars.

• Winnower's Servant: The world will be theirs. The universe yours. And the humans, what can they do but burn?

LOCATION: Auradon Prep, Earth

Meanwhile, out in Auradon, the school is in a state of panic. It’s an evacuation. A swooping jumpship flies in. Walking out of the jumpship, Commander Zavala and Leafa approach the King of Auradon, Benjamin Florian.

• Zavala: How bad is it, Ben?
• Ben: I don't know. But, judging by what you’re seeing, something bad’s already happening.
• Leafa: You know who?
• Evie: It's Maleficent. She’s escaped her cage, and now, she’s planning to destroy the barrier and free the villains from the Isle of the Lost.
• Zavala: Any status on the kids?
• Auradonian Guard: Only nine dead. Most of the kids… injured.
• Merlin: (approaching them) Then, I suggest we find Maleficent immediately.
• Zavala: Hello, Merlin. It is good to see you again.
• Merlin: Likewise. If what Beast said is true, then I fear what Maleficent’s doing right now could bring a dark terror upon the heart of this kingdom.
• Zavala: Indeed. She needs to be stopped… at any and all costs.

But then, a mist of green clouds suddenly thunders and shakes the entire kingdom of Auradon. Zavala and his allies run hurriedly into the scene and see Maleficent.

• Zavala: (clenching his fists) Maleficent. Whatever you’re up to… your wicked schemes, your evil deeds… they end now.
• Leafa: (finger on the trigger) How the hell is that possible?! You turned into a lizard. We watched you.
• Maleficent: (laughing) Or did you? Well, I suppose you were right up to this point! How did you like the time when I killed those pathetic weaklings?
• Ben: What are you talking about?!
• Maleficent: (cackling) Your friends!

She then began teleporting the corpses of Dizzy Tremaine, Uma, Harry Hook, Gil, Celia, Squeaky and Squirmy Smee, Doug, and Carlos de Vil right there in front of them.

• Evie: No!
• Maleficent: Look on the bright side. At least, you’ll get to join them. Of course, right after I have killed that terrible excuse for my daughter. Speaking of which, surrender her to me, and I might spare you. Or, more likely, I’ll just kill you anyway.
