I would assume this a scene taking place in the past if that's the case (especially if that brown haired guy turns out to be young Xehanort), because it would mean that Mickey had JUST finished training for Yensid, and this is the keyblade he was given.
Also if I rembmer correctly, there's a scene in one of the two games where Leon tells Sora how their world was ruined 9 years ago by maleficent and the heartless... and in ansem's reports, it is said how mickey had arrived with the keyblade to help just at around that time.
If everything else falls into place, this battle scene with the old dude and the knights (Aqua, Ven, and what now seems to be young Xehanort) takes place about 9 years ago, just around the time Mickey had first received the keyblade, and just BEFORE Mickey went to help Ansem in Radiant Garden/Hollow Bastion (because remember... Xehanort was there and already working for Ansem by the time Mickey visited... there were several cutscenes in KH2 to prove that.)
Either way, the next installment is either a connector between KH2 and 3, or just a random prequel to try and explain more about Mickey/the keyblade/Xehanort's hidden backgrounds. Regardless of which one it will end up being, I can't wait.
