Oh… I HAVE AN IDEA!
The tale begins in the Age of Fairy Tales where the Master of Masters has entrusted each of his five apprentices with a copy of the Book of Prophecies – a tome that contains the future but also contains other power like the ability to create worlds. The Book foretells of a dire event coming where all out war will consume the world and Darkness will swallow the Light. The Master of Masters warns his apprentices that this event is set in stone and is impossible to change, so not to fixate on it. Instead, plan for what comes next. He also bestows a special task on each of his apprentices: Ira is given the task of being the leader, Aced is given the task of supporting Ira and taking his place should Ira prove unreliable at his task, Invi was tasked with observing her fellow apprentices and acting as a mediator, Ava was given the goal of training ‘dandelions’ – keyblade wielders that will go forth after the war to help rebuild, and Gula was given a ‘missing page’ from the Book of Prophecy that speaks of a traitor and is tasked with discovering who it is. The Master of Masters final apprentice – Luxu – who was not given a copy of the book. Instead, Luxu was entrusted with the Master of Masters’ keyblade that had one of his eyes grafted into it and told to take the keyblade and use it to witness the events in the future, so the Masters current self could see them and create the Book of Prophecies. He also entrusts Luxu with a trunk that he is told to never open. With that done, the Master of Masters vanishes without a trace and shortly after Luxu does as well. The remaining five apprentices go about their other main task – the formation of Unions. Unions would be a unified team of Keyblade wielders that would work to carry out each Union’s goals, namely the gathering of Lux (Light) from various worlds that are eventually revealed to be artificial worlds created by the Book of Prophecies. This goal eventually starts to drive a wedge between the five apprentices – now called Foretellers – as accusations of stealing Lux and fierce competition creates animosity between the Unions. All the while behind the scenes, the Foretellers grow increasingly worried about a potential Traitor among them and begin to plot against each other. Finally, with the Unions at each other’s throats and the Foretellers turned against each other, do all five go to war. In an event that history would come to know as the Keyblade War, scores of keyblade wielders died in a fierce battle between the Unions to lay claim to the light for their own faction. Kingdom Hearts, the source of all Light, was swallowed up by the darkness and on a hill in the distance stands Luxu, holding the Master of Masters’ keyblade.
Following the events of the Keyblade War, the Keyblade Wielders that survived awoke in various worlds that they had visited in that were created by the Book of Prophecy. The Keyblade War remembered only as a terrible dream as they continued on their adventures and making friends in Daybreak Town and various worlds.
However, things weren’t like they were before. The Foretellers were gone. In their place, five specially selected members of the Dandelions were to take over and form new Unions and lead the remaining Keyblade Wielders. They were presented with special books that would guide them crafted by Master Ava. One girl who received such a book – Sterletzia – is murdered by a shadowy figure and her book stolen. The other new leaders assemble: Skuld & Ephemera (friends of the player character), Brain – an inquisitive fellow who hides his face with a big hat, Lauriam – a pink haired boy and Sterletzia’s brother, and Ventus – a blonde kid. They begin to work together to figure out solutions for those who remain and how best to move forward. To assist them, a single copy of the Book of Prophecy was left in the Foreteller’s Tower for them. So they start, not knowing that one among them isn’t supposed to be there.
Meanwhile, Malificent has appeared within the world and has begun to try to enact her plan before Sora could even exist. But despite her knowledge of the future, she cannot even succeed in the Enchanted Dominion let alone escape to the outside like she had before. A shadowy figure appears to confront her explaining that she can’t change the scenario that’s been created. Inquiring further, the Shadow explains to Maleficent that without the Book of Prophecy, no worlds could be created. So in preparation for the events after the Keyblade War – Data Worlds were created instead. All of the worlds that the Book of Prophecy created were re-created in Data Form for the Keyblade Wielders. When Maleficent leapt through time, she didn’t land in her Enchanted Dominion but the data version. Because of that, she is stuck in the same loop regardless of what she tries to do. However, the shadowy figure can help her get back to her own time.
In a more recent time, a trio of keyblade wielders named Ventus, Terra and Aqua seek to complete their training and earn their Mark of Mastery – a symbol of keyblade mastery that demonstrates one’s ability to resist the darkness. Aqua and Terra are both being tested for the Mark under the supervision of Master Eraqus and his colleague and current wielder of the Master of Masters’ Keyblade – Xehanort. Xehanort however tampers with the testing, allowing for the darkness to manifest during the trial. Aqua manages to overcome the challenge and earns her Mark, but much to Xehanort’s delight Terra seems to give into the darkness. While Eraqus will not grant Terra the Mark of Mastery, he has need of both Terra and Aqua to address the matter of a growing number of creatures in the worlds called ‘The Unversed’. Eraqus then asks Aqua in secret to watch over Terra and make sure he doesn’t stray into the Darkness. Meanwhile, Ven is provoked into leaving as well by Xehanort’s apprentice Vanitas. At this point, the three young keyblade wielders’ stories divide.
Terra’s journey has him seeking out the now missing Master Xehanort who appears to searching for the Seven Princesses of Pure Hearts. On his journey, he unwillingly collaborates with a number of Disney Villains including Maleficent to discover the whereabouts of Xehanort. At one point, Terra visits a world called Destiny Islands where he encounters a pair of young boys named Riku and Sora. Seeing the potential of heroism in the young Riku, Terra performs a ritual that marks Riku as the next in line to inherit Terra’s keyblade. When he finally locates the Master, Xehanort warns him that Eraqus is betraying Terra by holding back his potential and can’t be trusted. This is only confirmed when Terra returns to Master Eraqus only to find him attacking Ventus. Terra intervenes and ultimately ends up slaying his teacher and father figure, driving Terra to flee.
Ventus’ tale however confronts the matter of Ven’s dark past. A former disciple of Xehanort, the Master pushed Ven to the limits to rip apart the boy’s heart and parsing out the Light from the Dark. Ventus only survived the ordeal thanks to a young boy named Sora who agreed to lend the light of his heart to Ventus. Xehanort hopes to pit Ventus against his darker half – Vanitas – to create a weapon known as the X-Blade (Chi-Blade). The ultimate and original keyblade that is fabled to have the power to open up the heart of all worlds and the source of all light – Kingdom Hearts. When Ventus confronts Eraqus about this fact, Eraqus realizes that the only way to stop Xehanort from getting the X-Blade and Kingdom Hearts is to destroy Ven. The battle is interrupted by Terra who kills Eraqus and drives Ven into despair. Aqua’s journey is spent trying to find her two friends who she worries about. Visiting many worlds after Terra has visited them, she learns of all the horrible things Terra has done allying himself with the villains and fears that she is losing him to the darkness. She also struggles to convey her concerns to Ven, who lashes out at her like she was an over-concerned parent who doesn’t understand Terra. Aqua too travels to the Destiny Islands where she meets the young boys Riku and Sora, and while tempted to bestow her keyblade to Sora like she senses Terra did for Riku, she worries that it would ruin their friendship. Instead, she accidentally bequeaths her keyblade to a young princess she encounters on the world of Radiant Gardens named Kairi who unknowingly triggers the ritual by grabbing the handle of Aqua’s keyblade. Aqua also meets at several points with the powerful sorcerer Yen Sid and joins forces with his young apprentice, Mickey Mouse, across several worlds before ultimately learning of Eraqus’ death and is ordered by Yen Sid to go find her friends at the Keyblade Graveyard. The three friends reunite twice in their journeys. The first is at Radiant Gardens after they have each had run ins with Xehanort’s newest lacky, a guard by the name of Braig who wants the power that Xehanort is offering. The last time is at the Keyblade Graveyard, the site where countless years ago the Foretellers’ and their Unions did battle and brought about the destruction of Light. It’s here where the climactic showdown with the grand puppetmaster behind their conflicts as well as the creator of the Unversed – Master Xehanort and his apprentice Vanitas – occurs. Ven and Aqua face off against Vanitas only for Ven to have his heart absorbed and turned into the X-Blade. Aqua is able to defeat Vanitas with the help of Mickey. Terra however faces off with Xehanort himself but is defeated when Xehanort uses the Master of Masters’ keyblade to unlock his own heart and transfer into Terra’s body which turns his long hair a stark white and makes his eyes glow yellow. However, Terra’s pure willpower is bound to his keyblade armor which acts on his own to strike down Terra-Xehanort. At the same time, Aqua’s defeat of Vanitas and the shattering of the now declared ‘imperfect X-blade’ triggers a massive pillar of light to consume the graveyard. Terra-Xehanort is swept away, Terra’s lingering will stays planted there, and Aqua and Ven flee to be found by Mickey. In the aftermath of the battle, Aqua takes Ven’s now heart-less body back to the Land of Departure where they were raised by Eraqus. The Land of Departure had been consumed by the Darkness after Master Eraqus’ death, but Aqua carries Ven into the throne room of the palace and uses Eraqus’ keyblade to put the entire castle into a secret lockdown mode. She places Ven in a room where only those who already know where it is can find it and leaves sealing the reformed castle – now dubbed Castle Oblivion – promising to return to wake Ven up. Aqua then travels to Radiant Gardens to find Terra-Xehanort who has lost many of his memories. In attempting to help him, she triggers Xehanort’s dominant control on the body and they have one final battle before Terra-Xehanort tries to unlock his heart once more – wiping his mind and sinking Terra’s body into the darkness. Aqua dives in after him but once it becomes clear that they won’t be able to escape together in time before the gateway closes, she grants Terra-Xehanort her armor and sends them back to Radiant Gardens where Braig has brought his lord, Ansem the Wise, to see the amnesiac boy. Aqua floats off into the Darkness, her only comfort being that her friends are safe, Xehanort stopped and the Unversed dealt with. Finally, Ventus’ lost little heart finds a new home safely within the heart of the boy who shared his light with him before – Sora.
Lost in the darkness, Aqua wanders on and on. Devoid of any sense of time, she is not even sure how long she’s been there. She comes across worlds she once had visited but have been consumed by darkness and little by little she falls into despair as she wonders what horrible things must have happened in the world of light for all this to transpire. She is constantly haunted by visions of Terra and Ven, until one point where she actually is able to contact Terra’s heart. She is so overwhelmed by her happiness that Terra is there that she almost reveals where Ven is hidden in Castle Oblivion before the real Terra appears to stop the one who she was talking to – now revealed to be Terra-Xehanort. The two Terra’s battle for control before vanishing and leaving Aqua alone again but now tempered with the knowledge that Xehanort was not defeated and her friends still need her. She continues her long journey in the darkness before meeting up with Mickey Mouse again who is searching for the Keyblade of Darkness that belongs to that world. Mickey explains that he and his friends are trying to stop the darkness and its minions – which he explains are called Heartless – by sealing the Door to Light. Aqua agrees to help as their journey takes them to the darkness consumed world of the Destiny Islands. There Mickey is able to get the keyblade. He asks Aqua to come along so she can return to the Light, but she says someone has to defend them while they close the door. As they succeed in closing the door to Kingdom Hearts – which Aqua notes looks nothing like the Kingdom Hearts she had seen before – Aqua rests on the beach of Destiny Islands. Resolved to keep fighting before the Islands are reborn in the realm of light and Aqua slips back into the darkness once more. Sometime after, she comes across an old man dressed in red robes who explains that he was helping a prococious youth save the worlds. Aqua inquires whether the youth’s name was either Ventus or Terra in hope of news that her friends are well, but the elderly gentlemen tells her a different name. One that seemingly puts a smile on her weary face: Sora.
Ten years have passed since the battle at the Keyblade Graveyard with Master Xehanort. On the sleepy little world of the Destiny Islands, the trio of friends – Sora, Riku and Kairi – dream of leaving their world and going on adventures. They get their wish in a most unfortunate way, as a man in a brown robe tells Sora that their world has been “connected” and is attacked by black creatures known as Heartless. Kairi mysteriously vanishes when she is thrown by a blast of wind into Sora and Riku invites Sora to come with him and that they shouldn’t fear the darkness because it is their way to other worlds. Sora on the other hand resists the siren’s call of the darkness and calls upon a fabled weapon to fight back – a Keyblade.
However, his efforts are for naught as the Islands are still consumed and Sora is tossed to a world for those who have lost theirs – Traverse Town. There Sora encounters Leon, Yuffie, Cid and Aerith – survivors from another world – who tell him about the Keyblade. How it can open any lock, how it can vanquish the darkness, but at the same time the Heartless crave it and will continue to hunt Sora and his strong heart so long as he carries it. Sora then also meets Donald and Goofy, servants and pals of the now King Mickey Mouse, who came to find a keyblade wielder to help save the worlds. Sora, Donald and Goofy decide to travel together and try to help the worlds and search for Sora’s friends along the way.
As they journey to different worlds, they learn of a plot by the villains from many worlds uniting to capture the Princesses of Heart – seven maidens without darkness in their hearts – and of the man named Ansem who once studied the Heartless before being consumed by the darkness himself. Sora reunites with Riku only to find that his old friend is much more cold hearted and antagonistic towards Sora, mocking him for abandoning his friends to run around with Donald and Goofy with his shiny new keyblade. Meanwhile, Riku has been searching for a way to help Kairi, who he has found with the aid of his new ally – Maleficent, the leader of the villains – only Kairi is trapped in a coma without a heart.
This confrontation comes to a head at the world of Hollow Bastion, former home world of characters like Cloud, Leon, Yuffie and Cid and their once ruler Ansem, who experimented with Darkness and eventually unleashed the Heartless on the worlds. Riku confronts Sora and proves that he has the stronger heart and thus takes the keyblade away from Sora. Donald and Goofy likewise abandon Sora because they are under orders to follow the Keyblade Wielder. Sora chooses to persevere regardless of having a weapon, and finds his way into the castle where he confronts Riku once more. Riku laughs at Sora’s pathetic attempts and attempts to strike down his former friend but Goofy blocks it saying that while he would prefer not to disobey King Mickey, he refuses to abandon his friends either. Donald then joins them as well, and using the strength of his friends to bolster his heart Sora wins back the keyblade.
Riku in a panic flees and stumbles upon a brown robed man in the deep halls of Hollow Bastion. The cloaked figure explains that in order for Riku to succeed, he must give in completely and open his heart to the darkness and forges his own keyblade using the hearts of the six Princesses of Heart gathered thus far. Sora arrives and Riku explains that Kairi’s heart is trapped within Sora and that he will use his Keyblade to open Sora’s heart and take it so that Riku can open the Door to Darkness to find Kingdom Hearts. Riku reveals that he is no longer Riku but Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness. Sora manages to defeat Ansem-Riku, but then decides to use Riku’s keyblade on himself to free Kairi’s heart. Kairi awakens just in time to see Sora vanish and turn into a Heartless. Fortunately, Kairi is able to call Sora’s heart back from the Darkness and return him to normal.
Now all that’s left is for Sora, Donald and Goofy to travel to the End of All Worlds and face off against Ansem a final time. They defeat him at the gates of what they believe is Kingdom Hearts, but is actually the Door to the realm of darkness. There they find Riku and Mickey who help to close the door and seal it once and for all. Kairi and Sora share a final goodbye as the worlds consumed by Darkness begin to rebuild themselves and Sora, Donald and Goofy depart once more to find Riku and King Mickey.
Sora, Donald and Goofy’s journey to find the King and Riku takes them to a world steeped in darkness known as Castle Oblivion where they encounter the black hooded figures known as Organization XIII. The Organization explains that Castle Oblivion holds the answers that Sora seeks but in order to find them he must forget. Unsure of what that means and spurred on by his resolve, Sora begins to climb the Castle floor by floor with each taking the shape and form of a world he had previously visited. With each floor however, Sora’s memories begin to change. His lucky wayfinder, given to him by Kairi, Sora now claims was given to him by a girl he had completely forgotten back on the Destiny Islands named Namine. In truth, Namine is a girl described by the Organization as a “Witch” that has power over Sora’s heart and is being used to rewrite his memories so that he serves their purposes.
However, things are not that clear cut within the Organization as it is revealed that the small number that occupies Castle Oblivion are actually a splinter group that seeks to take control of Sora and overthrow Organization XIII proper. One member of the Organization named Axel is one by one either eliminating the traitorous members or is allowing them to be destroyed.
Sora meanwhile continues his journey through the Castle. He is confronted several times by what he thinks is his dear friend Riku, but is infact a cloned duplicate created by members of the Organization. The Clone Riku further fuels Sora’s determination by mocking his attempts and claiming that he and not Sora will be the one to protect Namine. Sora’s drive becomes so volatilely single-minded that he even lashes out at Donald and Goofy when they begin to question the changing nature of Sora and his memories. Ultimately, Sora defeats Marluxia – the leader of the splinter group – and finds Namine who profusely apologizes for what has happened to Sora. She explains everything and her part in the plan. That she had been dismantling the chains that connect everyone to Sora’s heart, causing him and them to forget about Sora. However, she says she can rewrite Sora’s memories to the way they were and reconnect all the chains inside his Heart. The trade-off being that it would take nearly a year to do it all and Sora would have no memory of what happened inside Castle Oblivion. Torn between losing Namine, and remembering the others, Sora eventually agrees and is sealed within a chamber to sleep.
Meanwhile, in the basement of Castle Oblivion, Riku awakens from slumber after having drifted here following closing the Door to Darkness. He begins his own journey down through the lower floors of the Castle where he confronts other members of the Organization whose battles with Riku are recorded as data that is utilized to create the Riku Clone. However, his greatest challenge comes in the form of facing off with the spectre of Ansem that still lingers within Riku’s heart and forced to face the darkness within him. Along with Ansem is a red-clad man who calls himself DiZ, who demands that Riku pick a side: Darkness or Light. With Namine’s help, Riku realizes that just because he uses the Darkness does not mean it has to control him, that it’s as much a part of him as the Light and that he mustn’t fear it. Riku’s awakens to using the powers of darkness and light to defeat the Ansem within himself and rejoins King Mickey, donning the same black coats as the Organization uses to travel through the Darkness, on their journey. They meet with DiZ on the road who claims Riku has chosen the path to dusk, to which Riku smiles and responds that it’s not dusk, it’s the road to dawn.
