Saix: I'm sending you and Xigbar to a new world today to conduct recon.

Xigbar: All right, Let's make with the investigating and haul it back home.
Roxas: What are we investigating?
Xigbar: We're investigating what's to investigate. Maybe there's new recruits around.
Roxas: New recruits? What kind of people does the Organization look for?
Xigbar: Nobodies.
Roxas: You mean...with a capital N.
Xigbar: Bingo. You know somebody turns into a Heartless if the darkness gets their heart, right? Well, say this person's heart is strong—real strong. Sometimes, you wind up with a sort of byproduct: a Nobody. Take the strongest of those—the cream of the crop—stick 'em in a room, and you've got us: the Organization.
Roxas: I didn't know everybody was such an elite...
Xigbar: Heh heh...Elite? As if. You and Xion are the real exceptional ones.
Roxas: What? Why?
Xigbar: Wuh-oh. Looks like conversation hour's over. Time to tidy up, Roxas.

???(Phil): There you are! I been waitin' for you!
Roxas: Huh?
Phil: What took you so long!? I got everything set up! C'mon, hop to it. You wanna be a hero, and that takes time.
Roxas: What? But I'm—
Phil: Here to train, I know! Save your breath, kid. You're gonna need it. By the way, nice moves back there. Herc told me you had potential. Gotta hand it to him, he's got an eye for talent! I don't coach just anybody, ya know. Hope you came ready to sweat, kid!
Roxas: Um, no!? I think you've got the wrong guy. Xigbar, tell him— Xigbar!? Where'd you...
Phil: Your fighting's better than your standup routine, kid. Stick to what you know. You got a name?
Roxas: Um, Roxas.
Phil: Okay, Roxas. I gotta go double check the training equipment. Meet me inside the coliseum when you're ready—and don't take all day!
Xigbar: Wow, Roxas. Moonlighting as a wannabe hero now?
roxas: Xigbar! Why'd you leave me like that?
Xigbar: To hide, duh! In case you forgot, the Organization runs a stealth operation.
Roxas: Well, yeah, but...
Xigbar: Still, this worked out pretty well, wouldn't you say?
Roxas: How do you figure that?
Xigbar: You don't have to sneak around now that you're one of them. I'm sure you'll be the best wannabe hero they're ever had.
Roxas: Wannabe? What's that supposed to mean?
Xigbar: Heh, what indeed?
Roxas: You're bailing on me?
Xigbar: As if. I just don't want to get in the way of your valuable training. I care about your future, Roxas.
Roxas: Ugh, fine. I'll handle this myself. I should do some recon here first, before heading into the Coliseum.

Roxas: It's a leaderboard... First place: "Hercules." Hmm...

Roxas: It looks like a leaderboard... First place: "Sora." Hunh.

Roxas: what are all these leaderboards for?

Roxas: There are a bunch of names on the board with numbers next to them—some kind of leaderboard?

Roxas: I have to jump just to touch this statue's knees. Good thing no real warriors are this tall!

Roxas: The statues, the architecture... Everything about this place is amazing. This building has gotta be the Coliseum.

Roxas: Columns around the door... Maybe this is some kind of temple? They use lightning bolts as a symbol.

Roxas: Are those— Yeah, there are clouds right outside the window! Where is this place!?
