Lore
After his defeat at the hands of Sora Marluxia was casted away into the world of Tyria by the power of the Keyblade. Weakened, but not defeated, Marluxia gathered his strength and eventually twisted the boundaries between the worlds and created one for himself. This distortion however didn't come without notice, and Heroes seeking to challenge Marluxia. Many have failed, but one group succeeded to defeat Marluxia and weaken his powers once more. After that, Marluxia offered his services to the victors. Does he have some other plan in mind?
