Gula says he can't trust anyone but himself (dumb thing to say) and Aced points out they can't beat the darkness on their own (didn't stop Riku and Sora... ameteurs, lol) and Gula once again is like, fuck off, don't care.

At this point in time you're probably not shocked, but Aced threatens that he'll destroy Invi for this. (Man, this is one great group of leaders...)

Case of Aced:

And now to see how the big dumb bear became what we see. Aced enters the MoM's chambers. MoM comes traipsing in and is all "you been here long? My bad". I love him. And he asks what he wanted, Aced is like did you forget you called me here, and MoM also tells him he was just fucking with him too. He then tells him his role. "You're gonna be Ira's right hand man". Aced's like "what"? Ira's right hand man, what do you mean?

"Well, Ira's gonna be the new leader after I'm gone see, just stand by him, don't disappoint (he's says the last part flippantly) Aced wants to know what he means by Ira being the new leader (yeah, that was pretty subtle, I could get how that could get lost in translation). And MoM goes full asshole now. "What? Is that disappointment I hear?" Did YOU want to be leader" Aced goes into full denial like, "no, if you had asked me sure, but I wasn't trying to".

"You REALLY wanna be leader, huh"? Aced finally admits, and then MoM needles him by being like duh, I'm not an idiot, I know you want it, but that just isn't enough. Any chump can say "You!, here's a huge promotion. Good job!" (And he gives a thumbs up) Then he tells him enthusiasm alone doesn't make you a great leader, and Ira needs someone like you to push him in the right direction.

"I agree, Ira is definitely the most worthy among us" he says with his words paused, a crack in his voice and anger in his eyes, clearly he doesn't have confidence on this one. And he agrees he'd make a fine leader.

"Then its settled" (god he's great)

Aced points out yeah Ira is worthy, but why do they even need a new leader (he makes a fine point, though maybe it in the way he meant), and if that means he'll no longer be teaching them. MoM again points out he may disappear one day. Aced doesn't react, MoM is surprised and says it again, this time flailing his arms and putting huge emphasis on the word "disappear" this time it clicks with Aced who's like, how, why, where? MoM has one of his best reactions ever. He laments

"Speak up sooner if you're listening. That was embarrassing for me!" He doesn't know if he's gonna disappear or not, it's anyone's guess right now. Either way, he needs to support Ira though, and he points directly at Aced. He is afterall quite serious, always thinking behind his Unicorn mask. So he needs Aced to spur the thinker into action. He says you might not be happy with your role, but just to know it's the most important one. (This is a lie. Ava's is) and then we get to the crux.

"Making Ira the leader is all good in theory, but sometime later you might think 'he's terrible at this' in which case it'll be your job to step up." (I can't even begin to explain why this was a horrible thing. Should Ben obvious) He then explains his leadership might be just what everyone needs. And THAT is your true role. Needless to say Aced is now just waiting to commit Regicide.... Anyway, we close with the guiding key shit again, and him being wished best of luck.

Cut to a few months later (after Gula and Aced split) and we see Aced saying it's been over a year since the Master left, time to fulfill his true role. And that starts with killing Invi. We see Aced attack her on top of a building with his Keyblade. She has no choice but to quit running away, summon her Keyblade and fight back. She does, they both do really powerful cool shit (like cut a dimension) and Aced wins.
