A/N: This is gonna be my main focus for the next few months, depending on how long I plan to drag this out. If I'm lucky, this'll be a piece of cake. If not, then we'll see. So, I hope you guys enjoy this.
You must be new around here. How's about a quick history lesson?
Keyblades have been around for as long as I can remember. From the time of the Keyblade War, and honestly, it's called that for a reason, to the time of Sora. They've probably always been around, just that we humans were a little slow on mastering the art of wielding them.
I don't know for sure, and I probably never will. Not that it bothers me. What bothers me is what some people do with their Keyblades. They think they can control the hearts of everyone around them and use that to their advantage.
That's where they're wrong. If their heart isn't strong enough, they won't even be able to wield the Keyblade anymore, let alone control others' hearts.
But hey, that's not what we're here to talk about, so let's move along. In the beginning, there was the Keyblade War. Now, that happened because people decided they wanted Kingdom Hearts all for themselves. End result: no one got it, and pretty much everyone died. The survivors learned their lesson, and when the World was restored, they decided they'd take better care of it this time.
Of course, there were still people who wanted Kingdom Hearts. Keyblade wielder or not, we're all human. I suppose you could say desire is our basic nature. Anyhow, there's this guy called Xehanort. Why he wanted Kingdom Hearts is still a mystery to me, but I know this much: he was insane. Not complete psycho kind of insane, just that his ideas were always a little bit nutty.
So, he wanted Kingdom Hearts, and to get it, he needed the χ-blade. Now, this isn't your average Keyblade. This χ-blade is a one-way ticket to Kingdom Hearts. Sounds pretty powerful, doesn't it? The problem is in creating it. You need to have two hearts, one of pure light and one of pure darkness, fight each other. And that's exactly what Xehanort did. Not that it worked, though, seeing as the legendary trio, Terra, Ventus and Aqua put a stop to it.
Years go by, and we see Sora, Riku and Kairi take on Xehanort's Heartless and Nobody. In case you didn't know, Heartless spawn when darkness takes over one's heart. That's why we have to protect ourselves. Nobodies, on the other hand, come from what's left over after we become Heartless—the body and the soul, if they're strong enough, turn into Nobodies. Now, when you kill the Heartless and the Nobody of the same person, they come back to life. Guess what happened to Xehanort? Yeah, he came back.
Long story short, Xehanort was revived, but King Mickey, Sora, Riku, Kairi, Lea, Aqua and Ventus took him down together. And then Terra came back. That was two hundred years ago.
Are you up to speed now?
