Prologue:
Our story starts with the defeat of Ansem at Sora s hands, it was a long and difficult journey that had nearly cost him everything, his strength was almost gone and he had stumbled towards Donald and Goofy who had been with him to this end, their hands inches from touching each other when they vanished in a wave of green flame, and the next thing Sora knew he had fallen into darkness.
It was Maleficent; Sora had defeated her in the castle of Hollow Bastion were the Ansem possessed Riku had seemingly destroyed her, but this was in fact a clone she had created last minute and had managed to make her way to the keyhole of darkness and hide until Ansem had unlocked it with the seven princesses of heart. But before he could he was challenged by Sora who defeated him and he fled.
After releasing Kairi s heart and opening the door to darkness, he became a heartless himself and whilst the revived Kairi, Donald and Goofy fled from the rising number of heartless Maleficent had come out of her hiding place still weak and embraced the darkness, her hatred, desire for revenge and thirst for power kept it from completely swallowing her heart, its power increasing her own to incredible levels and once she had finished absorbing most of the darkness she vanished from Hollow Bastion were she followed Sora and company back to seal the door to darkness and the End of the World, were Sora defeated Ansem and his World of Chaos heartless on the remains of Destiny Shores, and she sealed him in darkness hoping it would consume him whilst he was weak, and vanished to continue her plans to conquer the worlds.
Since then Maleficent has managed to conquer almost every world and twist it into her own image, she revived her former allies and gave them a share of her power to rule the worlds with. The only worlds Maleficent wasn't able to conquer were Traverse town (because the princesses of heart had gathered there) and Disney Castle (because of the Cornerstone of light).
The survivors who had managed to escape their world destruction fled to Traverse town were Leon's team granted them refuge and kept them safe, and Traverse Town has since become the main base of operations for the resistance against Maleficent s forces and have built a huge fortress around the town to protect it from the heartless who attempt to invade it everyday and are still growing stronger.
Our forces have strengthened their skills to the point where we could take on an army of millions of heartless if we were all involved. The King of Disney Castle had returned from his travels in order to lead the resistance, and it is because of him we have won most of the battles we have faced. He bought Riku with him who had been completely purified when exposed to the light from the princesses of heart, however his heart is still susceptible to the darkness. Kairi has joined in the battles herself.
It has been a year since we lost Sora and we thought we d never find him again until today when my powers picked up an energy signature in the ruins of Hollow Bastion. A team will be sent immediately to investigate and I will write what happened when they return.

That's just the prologue to explain the differences between what happened in the actual Kingdom Hearts, and my alternate story and I have to list a few things that were different in mine as well.
Sora has visited the worlds, Port Royal (were he fought Davy Jones instead of Barbossa), the land of dragons and has also met Quasimodo and several other characters from his world.
He has also met the Gullwings; Yuna, Rikku and Paine in their human forms, as well as Tifa in traverse town as part of Leon's team. Cloud later joined this team (unlike the game).
Sora's battle with Ansem/Xehanort ended on destiny islands instead of in the void near Kingdom Hearts, the door to which was only half sealed by King Mickey.
