PROLOGUE
Since the dawn of time, all things have been set in black and white, good and evil, right and wrong. At first there was no grey, no in betweens. All was as it was intended to be. Everyone followed strict rules and questioned nothing. Through the generations, though, people and creatures alike grew more and more curious of life and all that it held. This curiosity developed into the grey medium we know of between the lines. And through the grey came question Questions that divided the people and creatures for each side had their own answers. Through that Light and Darkness was born. Kingdom Hearts was born.
An all powerful being created a key to locking the door to darkness, and unlocking Kingdom Hearts. This key was called the Keyblade for it was used to fight special creatures as well. It chose its wielder from generation to generation. The first known Keyblade wielder was none other than Sora, a young boy searching for new worlds and soon after his own friends. The light in his heart was able to overcome the darkness and that attracted the Keyblade to him…and then the Heartless—those without hearts—were seeking to take the chosen ones' heart.
Sora overcame many obstacles. He defeated the all powerful being seeking to take Kingdom Hearts—Ansem. He was studying the Heartless before he found out about Kingdom Hearts then sought to control the Heartless in order to gain more power and knowledge. Sora also faced his best friend who had been tempted by darkness and the evil characters seeking to gain Kingdom Hearts. They captured the seven Disney Princesses for their hearts held the key to unlocking Kingdom Hearts. Kairi, Sora and Riku's other best friend, was taken as the seventh Princess. Sora sacrificed himself to save her…and in turn became a Heartless himself. Though Kairi was able to bring him back with her own heart. Sora defeated Maleficent—who captured and manipulated the entire thing behind the scenes.
Sora had been joined by Donald and Goofy, two characters who were order by King Mickey to find the chosen one and aid him on his perilous journey. They found the door to darkness as well as King Mickey and Riku, who had finally realized what his true purpose was. Together they sealed the door to the darkness—along with King Mickey and Riku inside. Sora had been separated from Kairi as well…who had been sent back to their home— Destiny Island.
Sora went on to continue his journey to stopping evil and the darkness as it had made a few more attempts to take control. Organization XIII was a group he had faced on his journey to finding Riku and King Mickey and then returning home to Kairi. He defeated them and during that time had discovered a place called Twilight Town…different from any of the other worlds he had been to and sealed. A girl named Naminé found Sora during his confrontation with Organization XIII. Riku had learned that Ansem resided with him and he was soon replicated. Riku chose to fight the replica and DIZ—an enigmatic man who was pulling the strings behind the scenes—pulls him Ansem from his heart. After defeating him, Riku learns that as long as he has darkness at his command, Ansem still resides within him. He sets out with King Mickey as his companion. Meanwhile, Sora was put into a very deep sleep so that Naminé could restore his memories.
A year later, DIZ was actively plotting something. A boy named Roxas had been discovered and was having fun with his friends at the end of their summer vacation, when a series of odd events unfolded, all manipulated by DIZ and continually interrupted by Axel, a member of Organization XIII. Roxas fought new creatures called Nobodies, learning that he was the new wielder of the Keyblade and that he wasn't who he was led to believe that he was. His life in Twilight Town was a lie—it was all virtual. He himself was a Nobody, Sora's Nobody created when he gave up his heart for Kairi. And Naminé was Kairi's Nobody, able to manipulate and restore Sora's memories though Sora would not be complete without Roxas. Roxas was also the former 13th member of the Organization and Axel's best friend. He discovers all this rather quickly and is soon returned to Sora who awakens with his memories—to find Donald and Goofy who had also been asleep for a year.
The battle for Kingdom Hearts continues as evil rises once again and new worlds are jeopardized. Sora, Donald, and Goofy woke up in the real Twilight Town and King Mickey Mouse and Yen Sid sent them on another journey. Their goal was to find Riku and stop the plans of Organization XIII, who controlled the Nobodies—the body and soul left over when a heart is turned into a Heartless. Sora also received a new set of clothes that allowed him to fuse with party members to gain special abilities, known as Drive Form. Afterwards, Maleficent was resurrected and joined with Pete to continue her quest for power.
Sora traveled to many worlds, both old and new, and resolved the troubles caused by Organization XIII, the Heartless, Maleficent and Pete, and local villains. Meanwhile, Kairi was kidnapped by Organization XIII. During a visit to Hollow Bastion, they again met King Mickey, who revealed the true nature of Ansem. The Ansem who Sora defeated was actually the Heartless of Xehanort, a student of Ansem the Wise. Xemnas, the leader of Organization XIII, revealed himself to be the Nobody of Xehanort. Organization XIII's plan was revealed: they seek the power of Kingdom Hearts, which is the sum of all the hearts that Sora released by destroying the Heartless with his Keyblade. Sora then revisited the worlds to solve lingering problems and new complications, while seeking a path to Organization XIII's base of operations.
Through a passageway in the virtual Twilight Town, Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrived at the World That Never Was, the headquarters of Organization XIII, with Kingdom Hearts looming overhead. There, Sora found Kairi and Riku, who revealed the nature of Sora's and Roxas' relationship. Mickey met DiZ, who finally revealed himself to be Ansem the Wise. Ansem used a device that dissipated some of Kingdom Hearts' power, but a system overload caused the machine to explode and kill him. At the top of Organization XIII's castle, Sora and his friends battled Xemnas, who used the remnants of Kingdom Hearts to power his multiple forms. After Xemnas' death, Sora and Riku were reunited with their friends a Destiny Islands. Sora, Kairi and Riku read a mysterious letter stamped with King Mickey's seal and it seemed as though all was well.
It's been five years since then. No one has heard from or seen Sora, Riku, or Kairi since then. In fact, most haven't even heard of the epic battles and adventures of the group. Most of that has been kept a secret to preserve and protect the order of the worlds. They've been disconnected yet again to help the cause as well. Now, Noah and his friends are unsuspecting of the danger to come. Little do they know that a new power is working behind the scenes in order to disturb the peace in the worlds yet again. Who knows what's in store for these four unknowing teens. Will they prevail and save the order of things or will evil finally come out on top once the dust clears? What paths will they choose to follow? Will they follow their hearts or their heads? Who knows? But the worlds depend on one boy in particular…and Sora is no where to be found…
