"The Journey Begins - Destiny Islands/Traverse Town"
We were over in the beautiful Orange Islands and we were over in the islands of Shamouti. We were heading over there for Lincoln to have an awesome date with Dew Gayl and she was really looking forward to it.
Eli: This is gonna be so awesome!
Nunnally: It sure will be.
Skyla: I heard that a terrible Cataclysmic Event was gonna happen in the Orange Islands and it involved a powerful prophecy involving the 3 Legendary Birds Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres and the legendary Pokemon of the sea, Lugia.
Me: You heard right Skyla. That was a terrifying day for Ash and his friends. That was total pandemonium.
Nico: It was part of a powerful prophecy where Ash was the chosen one in saving the world from Total Destruction.
Me: We did some research on that prophecy and found out that if the prophecy come true, the whole planet would explode.
Everyone gasped.
Lincoln: Whoa! So it would be a Prophecy of Armageddon.
Lily: That's terrible!
Lori: It sure was. But thank goodness we literally stopped it.
Ash: That's true.
Me: Here we are guys.
We arrived at Shamouti Island and we went to the Shrine for the Prophecy.
Shamouti Island (Japanese: アーシア島 Earthia Island; Arshia Island and Asia Island are also seen) is located in the Orange Archipelago. As depicted in The Power of One, Shamouti and its surrounding isles, Fire Island, Ice Island, and Lightning Island, are connected to the balance of nature via the legendary Pokémon Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos, and their mediator Lugia.

Every year, Shamouti Island holds the annual Legend Festival. For centuries, the locals have performed a ceremony honoring the prophesied Chosen One that would tame the birds of legend should they release their might on the world. The locals dress up in traditional attire, apparently for historical purposes, but some in the younger generation attribute the preservation effort to the resulting tourism.
According to Professor Oak, ancient writings from many different cultures name the area around this region as the source of all the waters of the world and perhaps life itself.
We arrived at the Shrine and it was beautiful.
Me: Wow. Just as beautiful as I remember.
Lincoln: It sure is beautiful.
Skyla: It sure is.
Dew Gayl: It's amazing. What are those 3 islands out there?
Lincoln: The one on the left is Fire Island, the Middle one with the tall mountain is Ice Island and the one on the right is Lightning Island and they are home to the legendary birds Moltres, Articuno and Zapdos.
Dew Gayl: Wow. What does it say on this stone tablet here?
Me: This is the Apocalyptic Prophecy that was happening when we came here on an adventure.
"Disturb not the harmony of Fire, Ice, or Lightning
Lest these Titans wreak destruction
Upon the world in which they clash
Though the Water's Great Guardian shall arise to quell the fighting
Alone its song will fail
Thus the earth shall turn to ash
O Chosen One
Into thine hands bring together all three
Their treasures combined tame the Beast of The Sea
From the trio of islands, ancient spheres shall you take
For between life and death, all the difference you'll make
Climb to the shrine to right what is wrong
And the world shall be healed by the Guardian's song..."
Dew Gayl: Wow. That's very cryptic.
Linka: It sure is. But it was easy to figure out.
Dew Gayl: Wow.
We got our picnic set up.
Laney: Ahh this is the life.
Nico: You said it.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah.
Lincoln: So what was your life like before we killed Salem, Dew?
Dew Gayl: Well my story is a good one.
Dew and her team are students at Shade Academy, from the kingdom of Vacuo. Her team journeyed to participate in the 40th Vytal Festival combat tournament, hosted by the kingdom of Vale, but were defeated by Team SSSN in the team round of the tournament. As the Fall of Beacon took place, Dew and her team ran away from the danger, abandoning the school and people in order to save themselves, retuning home to Vacuo.
Roughly one year later, after Beacon and Haven Academy students, Dew and her team were amongst some of the more harsh students to the new transfers, harassing and tormenting them over being unable to defend their home.
Dew participated in the Shade Academy Initiation, declared by Theodore to reshuffle teams. After the shuffling, Dew is assigned to Team FNDU,
Nico: Wow. You got to participate in a tournament style fight? That's amazing!
Dew Gayl: It sure is.
Me: And a multi-terrain battle arena is a great idea. Even though we have that on another island it's a perfect idea for an indoor training arena.
Lola: It sure is.
Nico: Yeah.
Dew Gayl: I know. When Salem and her entire faction killed Pyrrha and unleashed her war on all of Remnant, I was terrified. But when I heard that Salem was destroyed after all these years, thanks to you guys, I was so touched and admired by all of your heroism and purity that I decided to join you guys on all your adventures.
Me: That's a big motivation.
Lola: It sure is Dew.
Me: But Salem had it coming over the eons. She was long overdue for death.
Nico: But she didn't deserve to suffer for that long. She just wanted her love back.
Lucy Loud: It's true. I feel really sorry for her even though my heart is already full of darkness.
Lisa Loud: I feel sorry for Salem too.
Pinkie Pie: That's sad for her. But love has a way of doing crazy things to people.
Rarity: I agree.
Applejack: (Cowboy Accent) But thank goodness Nico didn't Hakai her. I have a strong feeling she'll come back as a better person and redeem herself.
Me: We didn't even know that the Spirit Bomb was powerful enough to obliterate an immortal person.
Hunter: (German Accent) Ja. Und it's amazing that it has that kind of power.
Edwayl: (Breton Accent) It sure is lad.
Kanaloa: (Hawaiian Accent) It sure was powerful.
Dew Gayl: It sure is amazing.
Me: I was surprised myself.
Eli: At least you will never have to deal with the terror of Salem ever again.
Nunnally: Agreed.
Laney: Yeah.
Dew Gayl: Lincoln, I hope I never end up as a heartless.
Lincoln: I will always be here for all of you.
We had a great time in Shamouti Island.
Later we were getting ready for an awesome adventure. We are gonna go on an epic adventure and see what Sora's adventure was like when he went on his journey to save Kairi from the clutches of the evil Maleficent and save her from the Heartless.
Me: This is gonna be so awesome!
Lincoln: I can't wait to see what this whole adventure is like.
Nico: Ok. There's going to be a few rules for this whole adventure. Rule 1: Any usual battles will be done before fighting each Disney villain.
Calypso: Good. Zexion, Man Boy, and Dr. Viktor still have to participate in the usual battles.
Me: That's good.
Nico: Rule 2: Any members of the Masters of Evil participating in usual battles will help out against the Disney villain of the chapter the usual battles take place in.
Nelson Muntz: That's one way to pick out backup from the Masters of Evil.
Bart Simpson: It sure is.
Nico: Rule 3: Power Rangers monsters, Sigma's robots, and Beryl's minions will still appear. But also before each Disney villain fight.
Me: Awesome.
Nico: Rule 4: Each time a world is completed, we teleport back to the Estate for breaks.
Blaster: Good. That way, we'll find out if any villains not in the Masters of Evil are up to something.
Me: That's good. It'll give us time to rest and monitor the world.
Nico: Yep.
Tsuki then appeared and she was dressed in awesome Keyblader clothes.
Tsuki: Let me help you guys out.
Me: Wow! You look awesome Tsuki.
Sora: Mom are you sure you want to come with us?
Tsuki: I'm positive Sora.
Tsuki then called forth her Keyblade and it was a Keyblade of fire and it had a fire star keychain.
Me: Whoa!
Tsuki: My Keyblade is called Flame Core.
Me: Wow! Like mother like son. I didn't know you were a Keyblader, Tsuki.
Tsuki: I am also a veteran of the Keyblade War.
Aqua: Tsuki and I fought alongside each other during the Keyblade War and we were an unstoppable duo. It's how we became best friends and became like sisters.
Tsuki: That's right.
Nico: Wow! So that's how you know Tsuki and how close you are to her.
Sora: And it's how me and Sora became so close as brother and sister.
Lincoln: That is so cool!
Kairi: It sure is.
Nico: Shall we head in?
Me: Lets shall.
Eli: Yeah! This is gonna be awesome!
Me: Yeah! First we're going to see Sora go through the choosing process and what he went through to get his Keyblade. And then when Sora's island is about to be taken we're going to rescue Tidus, Selphie and Wokka from being taken by the darkness after doing our Phoenix Cry entrance.
Nico: Nice!
Me: Here we go.
The Simulator activated and we saw Sora waking up under the water.
Voice of Sora: I've been having these weird thoughts lately, like is any of this for real or not?
The intro theme song Simple and Clean plays and Sora goes down sleeping. The screen shows Sora seeing Riku and Riku wants him to grab his hand, but a tidal wave goes up and goes under them. Sora goes down through the water and then in the sky of dawn. The screen then shows Kairi waving at Sora and wants him to come to her. Sora was going to approach, but he saw himself going down, and then, Sora falls into the water. Sora falls into the water and eventually lands in a circular area with a portrait of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. In that area...
Eli: Hey it's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
Lincoln: She's one of my favorites.
Nico: Yep.
Rachel S.D.: Mine too. She is awesome.
Mysterious Voice: So much to do, so little time... Take your time. Don't be afraid. The door is still shut. Now, step forward. Can you do it?
Sora steps forward. Then, trapezoid stones with a sword, a shield, and a staff appeared.
Me: A sword, a Shield and a Staff. Which is he going to choose?
Mysterious Voice: If you give it form... It will give you strength. Choose well.
Sora chose the shield.
Mysterious Voice: The power of the guardian. Kindness to aid friends. A shield to repel all. Is this the power you seek?
Sora: Yes.
Me: He went for the shield. I was expecting you to choose the sword Sora.
Mysterious Voice: Your path is set.
The shield disappeared from Sora's arm.
Mysterious Voice: Now, what will you give up in exchange?
Sora chose the sword.
Mysterious Voice: The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction. You give up this power?
Sora: Yes.
Mysterious Voice: You've chosen the power of the guardian. You've given up the power of the warrior. Is this the form you choose?
Sora: Yes.
The trapezoid stones disappeared. The floor shatters and Sora falls down. Sora then lands on the circular floor with a portrait of Cinderella. A shield appeared on Sora's arm.
Me: Cinderella. She's one of my favorites too.
Mysterious Voice: You gained the power to fight.
Sora tried out the attack with the shield.
Mysterious Voice: All right! You've got it. Use this power to protect yourself and others.
Me: He sure learns fast.
Suddenly, Shadows appeared.
Mysterious Voice: There will be times you have to fight. Keep your light burning strong.
Sora fights group of Shadows. Then, they disappeared. Then more appeared.
Me: They just keep coming.
Mysterious Voice: Behind you!
Sora fights and defeated all of the Shadows. Then, the dark void appeared and Sora goes down there. Sora gets up in another circular floor with multiple colors. Sora approaches the door.
We absorbed the negative energy from the Shadows and they made us stronger.
Me: Whoa!
Dew Gayl: Whoa! What was that!?
Laney: It was a Negative Energy power increase. Whenever someone hates us to an incredible level or we absorb Negative Energy in general, we get a massive power increase that makes us stronger. We have the power to convert Negative Energy into Positive Energy and it makes us more powerful.
Pyrrha: That's amazing.
Ruby Rose: It sure is.
Sora: (wondering) I can't open it...
Sora saw a treasure chest and opens it. Then a large crate appeared. Sora pushes and smashes it. Then a barrel appeared and Sora smashed that as well. The door then opens and lights are coming out of it as Sora enters the door. In an island, Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie are waiting.
Mysterious Voice: Hold on. The door won't open just yet. First, tell me more about yourself.
Sora talks to Tidus.
Tidus: What are you afraid of?
Sora: Getting old.
Tidus: Gettin' old? Is that really so scary?
Sora talks to Wakka.
Wakka: What do you want outta life?
Sora: To see rare sights.
Wakka: To see rare sights, huh?
Sora talks to Selphie.
Selphie: What's most important to you?
Sora: Being number one.
Selphie: Is being number one such a big deal?
Mysterious Voice: You're afraid of getting old. You want to see rare sights. You want to be number one. Your adventure begins at dawn. As long as the sun is shining, your journey should be a pleasant one.
Sora: Sounds good.
Mysterious Voice: The day you will open the door is both far off and very near.
Sora then appeared in a circular floor with a portrait of Aurora. Sora approaches a light and group of Shadows appears. Sora manages to defeat them all. After that, Sora approaches the save point and the light revealed stairs to the next area. In the next area...
Mysterious Voice: The closer you get to light, the greater your shadow becomes.
Me: Uh oh.
The shadow of Sora rises and turned into Darkside.
Me: WHOA!
Nico: That is one huge Heartless.
Vince: And it's ugly too.
Mysterious Voice: But don't be afraid. And don't forget...
Sora almost fell off the floor when he tried to escape. Sora had no choice but to fight Darkside. After the fight, a black circle appears under Sora.
Mysterious Voice: But don't be afraid. You hold the mightiest weapon of all.
Sora is getting engulfed in the black circle.
Mysterious Voice: So don't forget: You are the one who will open the door.
Lincoln: What does that voice mean by that?
Me: It means he holds the key to unite all hearts and open the door to the light.
Lincoln: Whoa!
Tsuki: (to Sora) So this is what defeating Heartless is like for you.
Sora: Yep and it was a perilous adventure.
Sora then woke up in the beach in the island. After he woke up, he saw Kairi in surprise.
Sora: Whoa!
Kairi giggles.
Sora: Gimme a break, Kairi.
Kairi: Sora, you lazy bum. I knew that I'd find you snoozing down here.
Sora: No! This huge black THING swallowed me up! I couldn't breathe, I couldn't-Ow! (head hurts)
Kairi: Are you still dreaming?
Sora: It wasn't a dream! Or was it? I don't know. What was that place? So bizarre...
Kairi: Yeah, sure.
Sora: Say, Kairi, what was your hometown like? You know, where you grew up.
Kairi: I've told you before, I don't remember.
Sora: Nothing at all?
Kairi: Nothing.
Sora: You ever want to go back?
Kairi: Well, I'm happy here.
Sora: Really...
Kairi: But you know... I wouldn't mind going to see it.
Sora: I'd like to see it too. Along with any other worlds out there! I want to see 'em all!
Me: You sure were adventurous Sora.
Sora: I sure was.
Kairi: So what're we waiting for?
Riku: Hey, aren't you guys forgetting about me?
Riku appeared.
Riku: So, I guess I'm the only one working on the raft.
Riku tosses the log and Sora tried to catch it, but it landed on Sora's arms when he fell down.
Me: I sense huge darkness inside Riku.
Laney: I feel it too.
Riku: And you're just as lazy as he is!
Kairi: So you noticed. Okay, we'll finish it together. I'll race you!
Sora: Huh?
Riku: What, are you kidding?
Kairi: Ready? Go!
They race. We begin the journey in Destiny Islands. Sora talks to Kairi.
Kairi: So, can you gather the rest of the supplies? Sora, are you listening to me?
Sora: Yeah, I heard you.
Kairi: Okay, here's what you need to go find: Two Logs. One Cloth. One Rope. Bring everything back here. If you need help, just ask. I'm counting on you!
At the same time, Sora talks to Wakka, Selphie and Tidus for some one on one while finding the equipment that Kairi needs. After finding all of them, Sora talks to Kairi.
Kairi: Thanks, Sora! I found something today, too. Here, it's yours.
Kairi gave Sora, a Hi-Potion.
Kairi: Tired? Want to call it a day?
Sora: Yeah, let's go home.
Kairi: Okay. It is getting late. We'll finish up tomorrow.
Later in the sunset...
Me: Beautiful sunset.
Hunter: Ja.
Sora: So, Kairi's home is out there somewhere, right?
Me: Boy come to think of it I don't think we've ever been to Kairi's home town before.
Sora: Yeah we still need to figure out where that is.
Lincoln: Yeah.
Me: Lets keep watching.
Riku: Could be. We'll never know by staying here.
Sora: But how far could a raft take us?
Riku: Who knows? If we have to, we'll think of something else.
Kairi: So, suppose you get to another world. What would you do there?
Riku: Well, I haven't really thought about it. It's just... I've always wondered why we're here on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds... Then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could have just as easily ended up somewhere else, right?
Sora: (laying down on a branch) I don't know.
Riku: That's why we need to go out there and find out. Just sitting here won't change a thing. It's the same old stuff. So let's go.
Kairi: You've been thinking a lot lately, haven't you?
Riku: Thanks to you. If you hadn't come here, I probably would've never thought of any of this. Kairi, thanks.
Kairi: You're welcome.
Later, Sora, Riku, and Kairi walk back to the house. Then, Riku called out for Sora.
Riku: Sora.
Riku tosses Sora a paopu fruit.
Riku: You wanted one, didn't you?
Sora: A paopu fruit...
Me: Those fruits look like stars.
Nico: Cool.
Riku: If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what. C'mon, I know you want to try it.
Me: Wow. That must be one mystical fruit
Sora: What are you talking-
Riku laughs and Sora throws away the paopu fruit and they ran back to the house.
Later, back in Destiny Islands, Sora talks to Riku and after Sora came up with the name of the raft, Sora and Riku decided to race against each other.
Kairi: You guys at it again? All right, I'll be the judge. The usual rules apply: Take any route you want... First one to tag that tree and make it back here wins.
Sora: If I win, I'm captain! And if you win...
Riku: I get to share the paopu with Kairi.
Sora: Huh?
Riku: Deal? The winner gets to share a paopu with Kairi.
Sora: Wha... Wait a minute...
Kairi: Okay. On my count:
The race begins. After the race, Sora talks to Kairi.
Me: Way to go Sora!
Kairi: Today we collect provisions for out trip! Let's see, Sora, you're looking for... One Seagull Egg. Three Mushrooms. Two Coconuts. Three Fish. And fill this up with Drinking Water. But not from the ocean!
Kairi gave Sora an Empty Bottle.
Kairi: Bring everything back here. If you need help, just ask.
While getting the provisions for Kairi, Sora enters the Secret Place and upon collecting the Mushroom, he saw a carving of Kairi and Sora and thinks back to the past when they were young and were carving something on the stone.
Me: That is so cute.
Kairi: I remember that. That is amazing.
Sora then carves something that shows Sora giving a star to Kairi. Then, a man in hood appeared behind Sora.
Sora: Wh-Who's there?
Hooded Man: I've come to see the door to this world.
Me: Uh oh. I feel a very evil presence from him.
Nico: Me too.
Sora: Huh?
Hooded Man: This world has been connected.
Sora: Wh-What are you talking about?
Hooded Man: Tied to the darkness...soon to be completely eclipsed.
Sora: Well, whoever you are, stop freaking me out like this. Huh? Wh- Where did you come from?
Hooded Man: You do not yet know what lies beyond the door.
Sora: So, you're from another world!
Hooded Man: There is so very much to learn. You understand so little.
Sora: Oh, yeah? Well, you'll see. I'm gonna get out and learn what's out there!
Hooded Man: A meaningless effort. One who knows nothing can understand nothing.
Me: That is total bullshit. But I know that voice. That's the fake Ansem.
Sora saw the door and then the hooded man disappeared. Sora's got all the provisions and talks to Kairi.
Kairi: This? I'm making a necklace of thalassa shells. In the old days, sailors always wore thalassa shells. They were supposed to ensure a safe voyage.
Me: That's interesting.
Sora talks to Kairi again.
Kairi: Thanks, Sora! I found something today, too. Here, it's yours.
Kairi gave Sora, a Hi-Potion.
Kairi: Tired? Want to call it a day?
Sora: Yeah, let's go home.
Kairi: Okay, tomorrow's the big day. We should rest up!
Later in the sunset, Sora and Kairi are sitting at the dock.
Kairi: You know, Riku has changed.
Sora: What do you mean?
Kairi: Well...
Sora: You okay?
Kairi: Sora, let's take the raft and go-just the two of us!
Sora: Huh?
Me: Aww.
Lola: So cute!
Lana: Yeah.
Kairi giggled.
Kairi: Just kidding.
Sora: What's gotten into you? You're the one that's changed, Kairi.
Kairi: Maybe... You know, I was a little afraid at first, but now I'm ready. No matter where I go or what I see, I know I can always come back here. Right?
Sora: Yeah, of course!
Kairi: That's good. Sora, don't ever change.
Sora: Huh?
Kairi: I just can't wait. Once we set sail, it'll be great.
Meanwhile in Sora's house, Sora lays in bed and looks at the ship he built on the ceiling.
Kairi: (Sora is wondering about her) I just can't wait. Once we set sail, it'll be great.
Suddenly, Sora saw a storm from Destiny Islands.
Me: This is it guys. Get ready!
Sora: A storm? Oh, no, the raft!
Sora immediately proceeds to Destiny Islands.
Sora's Mom: Sora, dinner's ready. Come on down. Sora?
Sora rides his boat to the island and saw a black sphere at the dark sky.
Sora: What's that? (saw his friend's boat) Riku's boat. And Kairi's!
Suddenly, group of Shadows appeared. Sora makes his way to the area where Riku is standing.
Me: Now!
We ran and flew in!
Sora: Where's Kairi? I thought she was with you!
Riku: The door has opened...
Sora: What?
Riku: The door has opened, Sora! Now we can go to the outside world!
Sora: What are you talking about? We've gotta find Kairi!
Riku: Kairi's coming with us! Once we step through, we might not be able to come back. We may never see our parents again. There's no turning back. But this may be our only chance. We can't let fear stop us! I'm not afraid of the darkness!
Sora: Riku!
KRABBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
A massive fiery explosion went off over the sea and a phoenix cry was heard and we all appeared as a black shadowy circles engulf Sora and Riku when Riku is showing his hand so that he could get Sora. Suddenly, Sora got out of it and a light appeared and Sora got a Keyblade.
Mysterious Voice: Keyblade... Keyblade...
We appeared and Sora merged with his Past Self and we slashed and killed a bunch of shadows and absorbed their Negative Energy.
Me: Varie, Maria, get Tidus, Selphie and Wakka. Hurry!
Varie: Right!
They did so and grabbed them and brought them over and we all fights his way to the white door where the Secret Area and enter the door. Inside, we saw Kairi.
Sora: Kairi!
Me: She's in really bad shape.
Kairi: (in bad shape) Sora...
Suddenly, the door opened and black wind came out. Kairi got blown closer to Sora and when Sora tried to hold Kairi, Kairi disappeared through Sora. We were in a force field bubble as we were blown away. In the area where the island is in midair, we all fight the Darkside.
Me: Lets get it!
We went at the Heartless and blasted it all over and obliterated it into nothing. After the Darkside was defeated we were flung to Traverse Town.
Meanwhile in Traverse Town...
We landed in Traverse Town.
Me: Whoa! That was intense and that was a close one.
Nico: It sure was.
Tsuki: It sure was.
Me: Wow. So this is Traverse Town.
Lana: Nice place.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah.
Me: Lets take a look around and see if we can find anything.
Nico: Good idea.
We walked around.
Sora: It's just as nice as I remember.
Kairi: Yeah.
Lola: It sure looks like a nice place.
William: Let's split up and see if we can find anything. Or anyone.
Me: No we can't take a chance. We'll be ambushed by Heartless if we do that.
We walked around together.
Soundwave: No Heartless detected yet.
Me: They will appear.
Leon: They'll come at you out of nowhere.
We turned and we saw Leon!
Me: Leon!
Leon: Team Loud Phoenix Storm!? I didn't expect all of you to be here.
Me: We were surprised ourselves Leon.
Leon: The Heartless will keep on coming at you, as long as you continue to wield the Keyblade.
Me: That's a chance we're willing to take.
Nico: That's right.
Leon: Never mind. Now, let me see that Keyblade.
Jungle Fury Camille: (to Leon) You think you can fight all of us just to get Sora's Keyblade? (laughs) Fighting all of us is suicide.
Me: More like a death sentence.
Leon: All right, then have it your way.
Eli: Leon wait! Let me talk to you. My name is Eli.
Leon: So you are little Eli. Aerith told me so much about you.
Eli: Aerith is here? Where is she?
Leon: She's in here.
Me: Let us come in so we can talk with her. We have so much to tell you.
Leon: Okay.
We went in and we were reunited with our friends Yuffie, Cid and Aerith.
Aerith: Hey guys!
Me: Aerith, Cid and Yuffie!
Yuffie: Great to see you all again!
Cid: How have you all been?
Me: Great Cid.
Eli: Aerith!
He went to her and hugged her.
Aerith: I'm glad to see you too Eli.
Lincoln: Looks like we're all here.
Nico: Yep.
Leon: So what did you all want to talk about?
Me: We know what's going on here and I'm afraid the situation is terribly grim.
I went over everything.
Master Xehanort
Master Xehanort is the main antagonist of the Dark Seeker Saga, the first phase of the Kingdom Hearts franchise. He is the original incarnation of Xehanort from which Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness, Xemnas and all others spawned. He manipulated almost every event in the series, and devised many backup plans that involve dividing his heart among 13 different beings created from his power and take over the universe.
Master Xehanort was a Keyblade Master, the first master of Ventus, and the creator and master of Vanitas, the original incarnation of Ansem and Xemnas and the future self of Young Xehanort. He served as the main antagonist and final boss of both Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts III and the central antagonist of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, being the true villain who has orchestrated the whole event.
In Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance, he was voiced by the late Leonard Nimoy in the English dubbed version, who also played Sentinel Prime in the Transformers series, and the late Chikao Ōtsuka in the Japanese dubbed version. In Kingdom Hearts III, he was voiced in the English version by the late Rutger Hauer (who also played Wulfgar in Nighthawks, Roy Batty in Blade Runner, Lothos in Buffy the Vampire, John Ryder in The Hitcher, Huntsman in The 10th Kingdom and Patrick Henry Roark in Sin City) in the base game and by Christopher Lloyd (who also played Kruge in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit) in the ReMind DLC and in the Japanese version by Akio Ōtsuka, who is Chikao Ōtsuka's son and also notably does the role of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness and Terra-Xehanort, as well as the voice of Marshall D. Teach in the Japanese version of One Piece.
Xehanort grew up on the Destiny Islands. In his youth, he met his future Heartless, Ansem, who gave him the mission of assembling various versions of himself across time. As Young Xehanort, he carried out his duties in the future before returning to his time without his memories. However, his experiences in the future had engraved themselves upon his heart as a desire to leave the islands. He eventually left the islands, and while his name was lost to memory, his feat of leaving the islands would become legend.
Eventually, Xehanort arrived at Scala ad Caelum, where he was trained in the ways of the Keyblade alongside fellow apprentice Eraqus. The two would often play chess between training sessions. Though instructed by his master to wear Keyblade armor to protect his heart from darkness, Xehanort eventually shed his armor, desiring to control the darkness.
Before his Mark of Mastery exam, Xehanort met the Master of Masters, who gave him a black coat. By this point, Xehanort confided in the Master that he had started viewing people more cynically, believing that the worlds were all in chaos and that he would be the one to bring order to them, a notion that the Master seemingly encouraged. When asked by Xehanort, the Master revealed his name to him before bidding him farewell.
Upon becoming a Keyblade Master, Xehanort inherited the ancient No Name Keyblade and was free to explore the worlds while Eraqus became the steward of the Land of Departure. Over countless years of research and travel, Xehanort became obsessed with the events of the Keyblade War. He felt that there was no balance between the light and the darkness, so he planned to recreate the χ-blade to cause a second Keyblade War with hopes to establish balance. By the time he confided his goals to Eraqus, Xehanort had mastered the powers of darkness and used them to scar his former friend in defense.
He attempted to utilize the darkness of a Keyblade wielder named Ventus to recreate the χ-Blade and serve as a host for his heart to prolong his life long enough for his plan to come to fruition. However, Ventus refused to succumb to his darkness and Xehanort is forced to extract the darkness and create Vanitas before leaving a weakened Ven to die on the Destiny Islands.
But, seeing the boy pulling through, Xehanort has Ven sent to be trained by Eraqus so he can become Vanitas' equal in order for their reunion to recreate the χ-blade. By that time, Xehanort found a more ideal host in one of Eraqus' two students: Terra.
While Vanitas traveled the worlds spreading the Unversed to prepare Ventus for their reunion, Xehanort was looking for the Princesses of Heart (seven princesses with hearts of pure light). He managed to find one, Princess Aurora. It was also at that time that he arranged for Maleficent to find the other Princesses of Heart for him.
He also came to Radiant Garden to employ the services of Braig, offering him a Keyblade of his own in return for helping him in getting Terra to embrace his darkness.
Though Braig was scarred as a result of Terra using his darkness, winning the youth's trust as a result, Xehanort threateningly calmed him down before infusing part of his heart into Braig's body. By tricking Terra into defeating Eraqus, Xehanort kills his old friend and casts the entire Land of Departure into darkness before telling Terra to meet him in the Keyblade Graveyard where his plan will be completed.
Managing to separate Terra from the others, with Braig holding them off, Xehanort sends Vanitas to enact his reunion with Ven. Managing to get Terra to unleash his full fury on him before seeing the light marking the restoration of the χ-blade, Xehanort uses his Keyblade to transfer his heart into Terra's body, turning the youth into his vessel Terra-Xehanort.
However, with a new younger body, Xehanort found resistance from Terra through both his Lingering Will and the heart of Terra itself as he attempts to aid Aqua. It was only when Terra-Xehanort attempted to purge Terra's heart that the vessel loses all his memories except the name "Xehanort" which he took.
However, unable to fully rid himself of Terra, Xehanort reveals the series of backup plans he arranged that were ultimately carried by Terra-Xehanort's splinter selves, false Ansem and Xemnas. Even though Sora and his friends foil their schemes, Xehanort had another plan set into motion.
After the defeat of Ansem and Xemnas, Yen Sid explains to King Mickey that those actions actually freed Xehanort's heart from the Heartless Ansem and vanquished Terra-Xehanort's leftover body which had become his Nobody Xemnas, thus both halves' destruction has now lead to the reconstruction of Xehanort's pure and original incarnation: Master Xehanort.
Having expecting it, Xehanort arranged for his past self to gather every incarnation or vessel of himself together at the World That Never Was to witness Master Xehanort's return while capturing Sora as he and Riku were in the Sleeping Worlds. Eventually, ten Xehanort's, which included his Heartless and Nobody as well as Braig and Isa, were gathered.
When Riku arrives to rescue Sora, who is in the Organization's clutches, King Mickey freezes time to allow Riku to escape. However, Master Xehanort's soul possesses his younger self and duels Riku.
After the battle, Master Xehanort finally revives. Xehanort callously admits he misjudged the χ-blade being recreated with only Ventus and Vanitas, stating that their fate, along with Aqua and Terra's, was all predestined. He further elaborates that his Thirteen Seekers of Darkness, the true Organization XIII, with be able to recreate the χ-blade by clashing with seven lights, the seven wielders of the Keyblade. Though Xehanort attempts to add Sora to his rank to complete the members, Lea's interference ruins it as he and his followers scatter, but he promises that the final battle will come soon.
Master Xehanort first appeared in the Keyblade Graveyard with Saix and Xigbar. He recalled the time he was encountered by the Master of Masters 75 years ago without truly knowing who he was. The purpose for their assembly was to discuss who they needed to fill their ranks after failing to make Sora their thirteenth member. He was reminded by Saix that Larxene and Marluxia were searching for the New Seven Hearts while Luxord was looking for the black box under Xigbar's demand. By the time their meeting adjourned, Xehanort recited, "May your heart be your guiding key".
Later on, Master Xehanort approached the guardians of light once they arrive at the Keyblade Graveyard for the final showdown. He and his direct incarnations repeat his speech to Eraqus about the χ-blade and the Keyblade War from years ago before summoning thousands of Heartless to attack them.
Master Xehanort appears again later on, this time with the rest of the Real Organization XIII by his side. Declaring that the χ-blade would be forged, Xehanort creates a massive labyrinth, the Skein of Severance, keeping most of the key players inside while his Heartless, Nobody, and younger self watching just shortly overhead, with Xehanort himself watching all from a large pillar.
After the other darknesses are defeated, Sora, Riku, and Mickey confront Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort at the Tower of Endings. Master Xehanort reveals that the battles between light and dark, and the subsequent defeat of those darknesses, created nine keys and is confident that the remaining four needed to forge the χ-blade will be produced by the ensuing battles. Once his final incarnations are defeated, Xehanort begins to entice Sora to battle him for the final clash. Having prepared for every eventuality, Xehanort brings out Kairi, whom Xemnas had kidnapped earlier, and slays her to give Sora motivation. Sora tearfully and angrily attacks Xehanort, creating the thirteenth key. Mickey and Riku attack him as well, but are easily repelled. Xehanort opens Kingdom Hearts and with the thirteen keys, his own Keyblade, No Name, transforms into the χ-blade. Having obtained the χ-blade at long last, Xehanort uses its power to corrupt Kingdom Hearts into darkness.
However, because his younger self had frequently traveled through time, Xehanort himself served as a portal, something the guardians of light use to their advantage. They trap Xehanort within himself, and while the other guardians keep Kingdom Hearts at bay, Sora, Donald, and Goofy go inside the portal to Xehanort's boyhood training grounds of Scala ad Caelum.
Meanwhile, Xehanort caught wind of future Sora seeking the fragments of Kairi's heart in the Breezy Quarter after he crystalized her as insurance. He told Sora that he was the one that hid the fragments and that he was missing two. He also noticed that future Sora had abused the power of waking and watched him disappear once the other "him" arrived at the Stairway to the Sky.
There, the trio find that the defeat of the other twelve Organization members created Replica Xehanort's, twisted shells that Xehanort uses to power himself up for the final battle. In his Armored Form, Xehanort battled the trio throughout the city before they shattered his armor. Xehanort teleported up to the top of the tower, wielding the χ-blade as Sora, Donald, and Goofy battled him one last time.
Near the climax of their battle, Xehanort nearly kills Sora during his final attack, but Donald and Goofy managed to bring him back from the brink and unite for one final attack, Trinity Limit, defeating Xehanort and fatally wounding him. However, Xehanort still refuses to give up, stating it is too late to stop Kingdom Hearts, revealing he used it to trigger a purge that would destroy all the worlds and remake them free of darkness, and that he alone would lead the new era. Sora rejects his claims saying it was not his decision to make, and even after the other guardians arrive, Xehanort still holds onto his desires.
But to his own surprise, Terra steps forward saying "There's more to light than meets the eye.", something Eraqus told him in their youth, right as Eraqus appears from Terra, his heart being in Terra the entire time, telling Xehanort to hand over the χ-blade. Xehanort eventually concedes, giving in to his old friend and handing the χ-blade over to Sora. Eraqus and Xehanort then go together to the afterlife, having repaired their fractured friendship in his final moments.
Ansem, Seeker of Darkness
Ansem, Seeker of Darkness (also known as Xehanort's Heartless) is a major antagonist from the Kingdom Hearts franchise, appearing as the main antagonist in the first game and Riku's story in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and one of the main antagonists in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (along with Xemnas and Young Xehanort) and one of the secondary antagonists of Kingdom Hearts III. He is one of the incarnations of Master Xehanort.
He was voiced in Japanese by Akio Ōtsuka and in English by Billy Zane (who also played Cal Hockley in Titanic) in Kingdom Hearts and Richard Epcar from Kingdom Hearts II onwards.
Ansem first appears to Sora prior to the Destiny Islands' destruction. Though he does not properly introduce himself at the time, Ansem makes a cryptic message to Sora regarding the fate of the Islands. During the Islands' destruction, Ansem appears to Riku and opens a Corridor of Darkness, sending the boy to Hollow Bastion.
Later, once Maleficent has almost completed gathering the princesses, Ansem possessed Riku's body. He acquires a Keyblade forged from the hearts of the princesses sans Kairi's and uses it to corrupt Maleficent, turning her into a dragon, but she is slain by Sora and company.
Sora then travels to the Final Keyhole, where Ansem awaits. Ansem explains that Kairi's heart is really within Sora and reveals his true identity before attempting to use his Keyblade to draw out Kairi's heart. Sora duels with Ansem, emerging triumphant, and prepares to seal the incomplete Keyhole. As Kairi is still comatose, Sora is forced to use Ansem's Keyblade to save her at the cost of the Keyhole's completion and his own transformation into a Heartless, and subsequently, the births of the Nobodies Roxas and Namine.
Ansem, having expelled Riku's heart and remodeled the boy's body, reappears and declares that Kairi's part is done. He tries to kill her, Donald, and Goofy, but Riku's heart stalls Ansem to buy the heroes time to escape. Ansem retreats to the End of the World, with a restored Sora in pursuit.
In a final battle, Ansem declares darkness is the source of all power, believing that Sora is still ignorant of the truth. Sora, though, retorts that Kingdom Hearts is light and destroys Ansem's physical form with the Door to Darkness.
Despite his physical form's death, a fragment of Ansem remains in Riku's body and tries to tempt Riku into falling back into the darkness when the youth emerges in Castle Oblivion's basement. However, seeing that Riku has accepted darkness and not him, Ansem becomes frustrated with Riku and is defeated in battle. However, Ansem points how that he'll take Riku's body when the time comes. Eventually, while fighting Roxas six months later to help the resting Sora, Riku is forced to tap into Ansem's powers and adopts his form in the process.
While Riku helps him from the shadows, Sora learns "Ansem"'s true identity as the Heartless of the real Ansem's apprentice, Xehanort. It was only while aiding Sora in the Castle that Never Was that Riku was purged of "Ansem"'s influence and returned to normal.
Due to Young Xehanort's travels through time, "Ansem" is among the versions of Xehanort summoned and made a member of the True Organization XIII. "Ansem" taunts Riku throughout his journey through the Sleeping Worlds until Riku defeats him and escapes into the real world to thwart the real Organization XIII.
Ansem first appears in Twilight Town alongside Xemnas, with the two taunting Sora and encouraging him to free Roxas before summoning several Heartless and Nobodies as a distraction. After this, they watch Sora in the town, where Xigbar berates them for directly guiding Sora.
Later, Ansem visits the Dark World to confront Ansem the Wise about Subject X, a girl Terra-Xehanort had admired as an apprentice. Though Aqua tries to stop him, Xehanort's Heartless corrupts her with darkness before leaving with DiZ. Ansem takes DiZ to the Old Mansion and taunts him with the knowledge of the children used in the experiments, but Olette rescues DiZ with the help of Hayner, Pence, and Vexen.
Ansem joins the True Organization XIII at the Keyblade Graveyard for the final clash between light and darkness. He fights Sora, Riku, and Mickey alongside Young Xehanort and Xemnas with help from Master Xehanort, but is ultimately slain in battle. Ansem congratulates Riku for becoming a powerful Keyblade master before fading away.
Organization XIII
Organization XIII (XIII機関, Jūsan Kikan?, lit. "XIII Order") is a group of 13 powerful Nobodies who seek or were tricked into to becoming clones of Master Xehanort and the the main antagonistic faction of the Dark Seeker Saga in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Their most notable appearances were in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance and Kingdom Hearts III.
Because (almost) all of the members are Nobodies, they lack hearts, meaning that they also have no emotions. The Organization yearns to discover the secrets of the heart and fill the empty void inside themselves by gathering hearts to form Kingdom Hearts so they can become full beings again.
While each member is aware of their lack of emotions - a fact that makes them feel inadequate - many of them pretend to have emotions (i.e. Saïx's enraged battle style and Larxene's giggling and winking). The Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories manga and several other media forms provide an alternative view, saying that they do have emotions, but are plagued by a feeling of uncertainty and emptiness due to not having hearts. The manga further displays this "plagued" feeling by showing the members engaging in tasks like jigsaw puzzles, cooking, and reading to try to fill their emptiness.
After Organization XIII's defeat, all of the members were revived as their original Somebodies.
In Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, Xehanort and some of Organization XIII's former members, along with other affiliates return as the True Organization XIII. They act as the main antagonists of the entire Kingdom Hearts series and were led by a revived Master Xehanort. They aided Xehanort in his original plan to obtain the X-Blade and start the Second Keyblade War.
Organization XIII was formed by a group of scientists working under a man called Ansem the Wise, the ruler of the beautiful realm known as the Radiant Garden, and worked from Ansem's castle, Hollow Bastion. The head of this group was Ansem's apprentice, Terra-Xehanort, with the others being Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, and Ienzo. Ansem the Wise began initiating tests about the human heart, focusing mainly on Xehanort, with the hopes of recovering his lost memories.
At the urging of Ienzo, he constructed a massive laboratory under the castle. However, Ansem the Wise soon ceased his experiments, for he feared that going too deep would have grave repercussions, also noting Xehanort's apparently superhuman abilities.
However, his six apprentices, still seduced by the desire for knowledge, conducted their own dangerous experiments on countless subjects. Eventually, they discovered the beings called the Heartless, those that are born from the darkness in a heart and seek others as well. Xehanort, having taken on Ansem's name and writing his findings under it, opened a door he discovered, breaking down the barriers between worlds and allowing travel between them.
When a king named Mickey arrived, the six men's desire for knowledge eventually caused Xehanort to abandon his body, becoming a Heartless (though he was unusual in that he had a human form and retained his memories), with the other five soon following. Thus, the first six members of Organization XIII were born, and they banished Ansem to a realm of nothingness.
The Organization make their first appearance in the series (apart from Xemnas's appearance in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix). The neophytes - Marluxia, Larxene and Axel - tried to take control of the Organization by using Sora as their puppet, while the senior members, but was later revealed that Axel was a double agent to prevent Marluxia and Larxene from achieving their goals - Zexion, Lexaeus, and Vexen, tried to oppose them by using the darkness in Riku. However, all of them, save for Axel, were eliminated.
The story largely focuses on Roxas's time as a member of the Organization XIII, and his friendship with Axel and Xion, and thus, all the members are present here. This is the only episode to date where the fourteenth member, Xion, is ever mentioned.
Only seven members of the Organization remained at the beginning of Kingdom Hearts II. Sora and his friends took every single remaining member down, save for Roxas, who became one with Sora, and Axel, who sacrificed himself so that Sora and his friends could save Kairi.
After the defeat of Demyx and Xaldin, and Axel's sacrifice, only 4 members remain. While Sora and his friends were storming The Castle That Never Was, they were able to take out Xigbar, Luxord, and Saïx. After which both Sora and Riku decided stayed and to fight off Xemnas. With their combine powers, the two managed to destroy Xemnas.
Xemnas
Xemnas, also known as the Superior of the In-Between, is the Nobody of Terra-Xehanort and a prominent antagonist of the Kingdom Hearts franchise. He first appeared as a secret boss in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix before making his official debut as the main antagonist of Kingdom Hearts II. Since then, he reappeared as the overarching antagonist in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Chain of Memories, one of the main antagonists in Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance (along with Ansem, Seeker of Darkness and Young Xehanort) as well as one of the secondary antagonists in Kingdom Hearts III.
He is Rank I in the original Organization XIII and the commander of the strongest breed of Nobodies, the Sorcerers. He also wields twin Ethereal Blades and the power of nothingness.
He is voiced by Paul St. Peter (who also voiced Kurama from Naruto) in the English version, and Norio Wakamoto in the Japanese version.
Ansem the Wise started to research the Heartless with an apprentice named Xehanort, who is actually the body of Terra converted into an amnesiac vessel by Master Xehanort. When Ansem decided to stop his research, spurred by the memories of his previous incarnation, Xehanort continued the research with the aid of Braig, Master Xehanort's accomplice, to find a way to manipulate the mind through the heart. While working on this project, using his No Name Keyblade on Braig and the other apprentices they duped into helping them, Xehanort intentionally separated his heart and body: Creating the Heartless that calls himself "Ansem" and the Nobody Xemnas.
Xemnas, as one of the rare and strong Nobodies that could think and function like a human, made a plan set up by his previous incarnation. With the aid of Xigbar, the Nobody of Master Xehanort's accomplice Braig, Xemnas gathered the special case Nobodies of the residents of Radiant Garden to join him and Xigbar as the first eight members of Organization XIII: Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Saïx and Axel. From there, his forces recruited Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene while he personally recruits Roxas as their final member. A few days after finding Roxas, Xemnas battled Sora at Hollow Bastion and used some of the memories he took to have a replica of him created. That replica, Xion, was made an unofficial member of the Organization as both she and Roxas were used to gather hearts to provide Xemnas with his personal Kingdom Hearts.
However, with only Xigbar knowing the truth, Xemnas's goal is to collect 11 "empty vessels" to hold a piece of Master Xehanort's heart, which would be achieved by connecting them to Kingdom Hearts. But the plan fell apart when all the members deployed to Castle Oblivion were defeated with the defection of Xion, Roxas and Axel half a year later. Regardless, Xemnas continued with the plan as he encouraged Sora to kill as many Heartless as possible before Ansem's interference severely crippled Xemnas's plans. In the end, Xemnas fused with his Kingdom Hearts and battled Sora and company in a fierce battle, but Xemnas ultimately perished.
Due to Young Xehanort's time-traveling, Xemnas comes back as a member of the True Organization XIII. He taunts Sora with knowledge of his heart and the idea of Nobodies having hearts, ultimately revealing the true goals of the Organization. After fighting and being defeated by Sora, Xemnas leaves Young Xehanort to take Sora in. Back in the real world, Xemnas watches as Master Xehanort revives, but is forced to leave when Lea arrives.
Xemnas returns in Kingdom Hearts III as one of the higher ranking members of the Real Organization XIII. He first appears in Twilight Town with Ansem, toying with Sora about his efforts to bring back Roxas, coercing him to give in to the darkness. Both Xemnas and Ansem are later warned by Xigbar not to get too carried away in toying with Sora as he had defeated them several times in the past. Xemnas also debriefs Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene, all members from the previous Organization, as he reveals to them why he chose them to return; their connection to the Keyblade legacy. Xemnas appears with the Real Organization XIII during the Second Keyblade War, first with Saix and Xion. But when Xion defects a second time, Xemnas prepares to strike her and Axel down for their treachery (especially Axel given his role in the previous Organization for eliminating traitors) until Roxas arrives in the nick of time. Angered, Xemnas kidnaps Kairi and brings her to Master Xehanort. Sora, Riku, and Mickey confront Xemnas, Ansem, and Young Xehanort after defeating the other members. Once Xemnas is defeated, he has his first real feeling in years; loneliness. He states he took the previous Organization for granted and that having a heart is nothing but pain. When Sora says that's part of being human, Xemnas concedes that it must take incredible strength before fading away for good.
Xigbar
Xigbar, the Freeshooter, is the second member of Organization XIII and the secondary antagonist of the Kingdom Hearts series, acting as one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Saix) of Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, the secondary antagonist of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, and a major antagonist in Kingdom Hearts III.
Though his history with Sora was short, Xigbar had a much longer history with Master Xehanort and Keyblades in general as he saw Sora to be nothing compared to three Keyblade users he encountered through his original self Braig ages ago. Kingdom Hearts III reveals that he is the current vessel of Luxu, one of the Foretellers from Kingdom Hearts χ. He reclaims his Keyblade after Xehanort's defeat and summons his fellow Foretellers.
He is voiced by James Patrick Stuart in English, and Hōchū Ōtsuka in Japanese.
Meeting Master Xehanort in Radiant Garden, Braig is offered the ability to use a Keyblade in return for his help in convincing Terra to use the powers of darkness. However, using a staged kidnapping to their advantage, Braig ends up being scarred in the resulting fight with his left eye permanently damaged. After Terra left, a furious Braig attempts to shoot Xehanort from behind for his injuries. But Braig is put in his place as Xehanort tells him they need to make Terra succumb to the darkness while performing his end of their pact. After fighting Aqua in the Keyblade Graveyard to give Xehanort time for his plan to come together, receiving a venomous flare from Ventus he never forgot, Braig fled back to Radiant Garden where he brought Ansem the Wise to Xehanort, now within the vessel that was originally Terra's body.
However, Braig later approaches the new Xehanort, now an apprentice under Ansem, and is dismayed to find that he does not recognize him, and Braig's attempts to help Xehanort remember prove only to annoy him. Braig nevertheless says in a friendly manner that he's got Xehanort's back, having been entrusted with Master Xehanort's back-up plan to use Ansem's research to devise a means of mind control. But in the process, they end up introducing Heartless to the Realm of Light. Sometime soon after, finding Xehanort with his previous incarnation's Keyblade, Braig asked if he is truly Master Xehanort before his heart was removed from his body. However, having a strong will, Braig's Nobody Xigbar came into being and became Xemnas's number II in the newly formed Organization XIII.
Xigbar appears for the first time chronologically in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Present when Xion joins the Organization, he is shocked when his seemingly good friend, Demyx, reveals the annihilations that took place at Castle Oblivion. Later joining Roxas on a recon mission to Agrabah, they overhear Aladdin and Jasmine discussing the rebuilding of their city after many sandstorms strike. The Freeshooter later challenges Roxas at Olympus Coliseum when he first enters the Games, claiming to "care about his future" after the defeat of a Guard Armor at Roxas' hand. Xigbar later discussed the defaulting Xion with Xemnas and Saix in Where Nothing Gathers, later challenging "Poppet" himself in Wonderland. Xigbar then sees Xion as Ventus, and Xion is able to quickly strike Xigbar down with the power she was unknowingly sapping from Roxas.
Not long after arriving in Hollow Bastion and reuniting with Aerith, Leon and Yuffie, Sora engaged a number of Dusk Nobodies in battle around the city. After being led away from the main town, Sora, Goofy and Donald heard voices mocking them, but could find no source for them. After Sora demands that they show themselves, the remaining Organization members (having lost five members due to deaths and two others due to desertion) materialize, laughing. Though they are hooded, they are recognizable as the Organization from the description given to Sora and his companions by Yen Sid. The Organization eventually departs, but Xigbar, still cloaked and hooded, stays behind to taunt Sora further, making them feel anxious about the power of the Organization. He also openly compares the similarities between a look Sora gives him and one given to him by Ventus; Sora dismisses this as random banter meant to confuse him. Xigbar then leaves, staying out of Sora's way for a very long time.
Sora encounters Xigbar again in at the gates to the Emperor's throne room in The Land of Dragons. Having encountered another hooded man and suspected him to be his missing friend Riku, Sora inquires if he is the same person. Xigbar removes his hood, revealing otherwise and remarking that he had never heard of anyone named Riku. Xigbar summons his Snipers to distract Sora while he escapes. The diversion works, although the Nobodies were defeated, and Xigbar is able to continue his mission of summoning a enormous Heartless to harvest hearts for the Organization's plans. He manages to set the Storm Rider on the city, but it is soon destroyed by Sora, Mulan, Donald and Goofy.
Xigbar's final appearance in the game is in The World That Never Was, inside Organization XIII's stronghold. After Riku and Naminé helped Kairi to escape from the Organization, they head for the Hall of Empty Melodies, a large, open-air room leading further up into the castle. Sora and his party arrive there, but are stopped by Saïx, who calls out swarms of Shadows and a few Armored Knight Heartless to attack the intruders. Maleficent and Pete also arrive, expressing interest in taking the Organization's castle for themselves. Eventually, Maleficent and Pete leave to formulate a plan for taking the castle, and Saïx heads up to rejoin Xemnas. Sora and Kairi remain separated as Riku and Kairi remain above Sora on a balcony, fighting off the Heartless gathered there. Many Heartless attack Sora as well, but they are all dispatched in a sudden rain of arrows from a hidden Xigbar. He walks into view, and asks if Sora has been a good boy mockingly, echoing the words from his first encounter with Sora. He states how Sora put the Organization in a "pickle", and he supposes that was the reason the Keyblade chose him. He also makes a very cryptic remark on how he wasn't "half the hero the others were". Sora simply takes it as an attempt to throw him off. Xigbar then engages Sora in battle, referring to him as "Roxas" and expressing anger at him for betraying the Organization. Ultimately, he is defeated and begins to fade into the darkness. Before he disappears, Sora asks him why he called him "Roxas", to which Xigbar merely responds, "Wouldn't you like to know?"
Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix contains several additional cutscenes of Organization XIII's activity. One shows a conversation at an unknown time between Xigbar and Zexion, with Xigbar having recently returned from finding new members for the Organization (including Marluxia, whom he mentions as a new recruit) while Zexion and Vexen were discussing Xemnas' visit to the Chamber of Repose. Xigbar expressed his knowledge about the events of Keyblade warriors that appeared before they found Xehanort. He also talked about his eavesdropping on Xemnas during his visits to the Chamber of Repose, and how he seemed to be conversing with someone that wasn't really there.
Summoned by Young Xehanort, due to being "half-Xehanort", Xigbar is made a member of the True Organization XIII and aided in baiting Sora into their trap.
Xigbar returns in Kingdom Hearts III as a major villain.
Xigbar first appears in Olympus mocking Sora and his company, toying with his mind as usual before uncharacteristically encouraging Sora not to change who he is and seek to restore the hearts connected to his. In that same world, he observes Maleficent and Pete digging up Pandora's Box, mistaking it for the Black Box from the age of fairy tales. Once Maleficent realizes it's not the right box, both leave. Xigbar, seemingly disappointed it was not the Black Box, begins to recite the old saying "May your heart be your guiding key", though the scene cuts after the first few words.
Xigbar appears again with Xemnas and Ansem overlooking Twilight Town, warning them not to underestimate Sora as he has done some damage to their plans in the past and could easily do it again.
During a meeting with some of the Organization members, Larxene reveals Xigbar is the driving force behind the Organization's search for the Black Box, though none of the others seem to know what's inside of it.
Once the fated battle at the Keyblade Graveyard finally arrives, Xigbar appears with Dark Riku on two different occasions. After fighting Sora and Riku, Xigbar, seemingly defeated, reveals to them his motivation for working with Master Xehanort was the promise of wielding his own Keyblade. Sora and Riku rebuke the idea of Xigbar being worthy of a Keyblade, and Xigbar, laughing at the irony, teleports to the top of the labyrinth and seemingly falls to his death. After Xehanort's defeat, however, Xigbar is revealed to have survived and is revealed to be none other than Luxu from Kingdom Hearts χ, one of the Foretellers and an apprentice of the Master of Masters. Reclaiming his Keyblade, Xigbar summons four of his comrades and explains what happened in the later years. Watching from afar was Maleficent and Pete whom seemingly gave up their search of the black box.
Xaldin
Xaldin, also known as the Whirlwind Lancer, is the third member of Organization XIII and a major antagonist in the Kingdom Hearts series. He is a silver-tongued Nobody who controls the wind. He wields six lances named Lindworm and uses his powers over wind to manipulate all six at once, for both offensive and defensive purpose.
Xaldin's lances can transform into a dragon-shaped contraption to attack opponents with whirlwinds. He controls the lance-wielding Dragoon Nobodies.
He is the main antagonist of the Beast's Castle arcs in Kingdom Hearts II and a minor ally and playable character in 358/2 Days.
He was voiced by David Dayan Fisher in the English dubbed version who also portrayed Shaw in National Treasure, and Yōsuke Akimoto in the Japanese version.
Xaldin was once Dilan, a castle guard working under Ansem the Wise, benign lord of the Radiant Garden kingdom, who met Ventus and later took Aqua's armor and Keyblade into the castle. Becoming a Nobody to be free of feelings, Xaldin understood the setbacks of lacking a heart, but kept a clear disdain towards people who follow their hearts, especially towards the Beast.
Xaldin secretly begins his attempt to manipulate the Beast's rage to create a powerful Nobody and Heartless. He then kidnaps Belle, forcing the Beast to choose whether Belle or the rose is more important to him. The plan fails when Belle gets away with the rose and Xaldin falls against Sora and the Beast, fading into nothingness.
However, in Dream Drop Distance, it's revealed that he was revived as Dilan along with Even, Aeleus, Ienzo and Lea.
Vexen
Vexen, the Chilly Academic (いてつく学究, Itetsuku Gakkyū?, lit. Freezing Scholar), is a major antagonist in the Kingdom Hearts video game franchise..
Vexen is the fourth member of Organization XIII and wields a shield and ice powers. Originally planning on using Riku's power of darkness to eliminate the traitorous Marluxia, he later attempts to confront Sora with a replica of Riku before engaging Sora himself.
Vexen was originally Even, one of Ansem the Wise's apprentices along with Braig, Dilan, Ienzo, and Aeleus.
When Ventus arrives at Hollow Bastion, he is accosted by Dilan and Aeleus, but the Trinity Armor's arrival forces Ven to leave. As Dilan and Aeleus attempt to follow the young Keyblade wielder, Even arrives and muses on what would become of the castle. Aeleus realizes that Even is right, but as they return to the castle, Even notes that Ven's heart is devoid of darkness.
Sometime later, Even, who is looking for Ienzo, encounters Ven, who had rescued Ienzo from a swarm of Unversed. Grateful of Ienzo's rescue, Even explains Ienzo's story to Ven and directs the Keyblade wielder to the Outer Gardens to find Terra.
Sometime after Aqua's defeat of Terra-Xehanort, Xehanort is inducted into Ansem's ranks and becomes Ansem's favorite pupil. However, Xehanort wanted to delve deeper into the mysteries of the heart and darkness and convinced Even and the others to aid him. Their research eventually caused them to banish Ansem to the Realm of Darkness. At some point, Even's heart was consumed by darkness, giving birth to Vexen.
Years later, after Marluxia's induction, Vexen confronted Zexion and demanded to know where Xemnas was. Zexion simply informed Vexen that Xemnas was at the Chamber of Repose, causing Vexen to storm away while pondering why Xemnas was always hiding.
Vexen plays a relatively minor role in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, but it should be noted that this role plays a major contribution to the game's central plot. Advisor and leader of the Castle Oblivion-based Replica Program that created Xion, he was present when the Sora replica joined Organization XIII. Vexen then was assigned on Day 12 to teach Roxas the art of reconnaissance in Twilight Town, and was later getting sent away to Castle Oblivion, where he used his Replica Program to create the Riku Replica in order to challenge Sora.
The Chilly Academic was later exterminated by Axel at the Castle, for the purpose of raising Saïx through the ranks. All Vexen had left behind after his demise was knowledge, Axel later discovering a document he had composed about Naminé in the Castle That Never Was's library. This Nobody's only other mention in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days was when Xemnas revealed the truth about Xion before the surviving members of Organization XIII in Where Nothing Gathers.
In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Vexen appeared as an antagonist in both Sora's and Riku's storylines. He assists Lexaeus and Zexion in their efforts to stop Marluxia (whom Vexen loathed) and Larxene (whom he's not too fond of either) from overthrowing the Organization (Axel, the other Organization member residing in the castle, is deemed too unpredictable to be anything other than a liability). To do this, Vexen and his cohorts intend to use Riku's darkness to counteract Sora's light.
Vexen engages Riku in a cautious battle and uses the data he obtained from the fight to create a copy of Riku. The replica is completely aware of his status as a fake, but unlike Riku, is not afraid to use the darkness. However, even with darkness on his side, the replica fails to defeat Riku.
Even with the failure, Vexen has other plans for the replica, and goes to Marluxia and Larxene. He offers the replica to test Sora, though first he would have to have his memories changed around. They then have Naminé manipulate the replica's memories until he thinks he is the real Riku. He also believes that he made a promise to Naminé like Sora had, and because of this conflict, the replica confronts Sora multiple times, saying that Naminé no longer needs Sora.
However, the replica soon spirals out of control, and Marluxia deems Vexen's experiment a failure. Vexen is insulted, saying that a neophyte like Marluxia has no right to speak to an elder like Vexen. However, Marluxia makes the threat of reporting Vexen's failure to "the Superior", and Vexen's fear of the Superior's power overrides his previous elitist attitude. Now with Vexen under his grip, Marluxia orders Vexen to eliminate Sora, much to his surprise.
Vexen then confronts Sora, saying that Sora is in debt to him for reuniting him with Riku. Sora is angered, and the two battle. However, as they fight, Vexen delves deep into Sora's heart, and creates a world card forged from the memories on the other side of his heart. Vexen tells Sora that if he wants to truly defeat him, then he must enter that world.
Meanwhile, Marluxia, Larxene, and Axel note that Vexen is jeopardizing their plans, for if Sora discovers the other side of his heart, then he will no longer be of any use to them. They then decide to have Axel eliminate Vexen before permanent damage can be done.
Sora discovers that the new world is Twilight Town, which is strange because Sora has only visited places in his memories, and he has no memories of Twilight Town. Even so, Sora feels a sense of familiarity from this place. He explores the town until he arrives at the gates of a mansion. Vexen makes his appearance there, asking Sora if the familiarity of this place or his memories of Naminé is true. Sora doesn't understand what he means, and Vexen sees that he is but a slave of his memories, just like "his Riku". Sora is again angered, and battles Vexen one more time.
Vexen loses again, and seeing that Sora is too dangerous, plans to tell him of Marluxia's plot and, by extension, Roxas's existence. Before he can fully explain, however, he is struck by Axel, who embeds a Chakram into Vexen's body. Vexen begs to be spared, but Axel tells him he can be "nothing instead of just being a Nobody" and snaps his fingers, detonating the Chakram and incinerating Vexen, making him the first member of Organization XIII to die.
Vexen's spirit returns as an Absent Silhouette in Agrabah after Sora examines the Peddler's revived shop. If Sora investigates the Silhouette, Vexen challenges the Keyblade wielder to a rematch, but is eventually slain. Sora can also challenge a data replica of Vexen in the Garden of Assemblage.
Even is resurrected following the destruction of his Heartless and Vexen. Though conscious again, Even is unstable, so Aeleus has him rest.
Following his revival, Even wanders around Radiant Garden, regretful of his actions as Vexen. When Saïx arrives and recruits him to finish his work on the Replica Program, Even seizes the chance to atone for his actions and becomes Vexen once more. Under Master Xehanort's orders, Vexen refines his past replicas to be vessels to the past versions of Xehanort, as well as other time-traveling vessels. However, he is quickly benched and deemed a reserve member. Following Xehanort's failure to turn Sora into the thirteenth vessel, Vexen also creates another replica for Xion and for those wh truly need them. In the Caribbean, Vexen assists Luxord in researching how Davy Jones retains his existence despite lacking a heart. Upon seeing the Dead Man's Chest and finding out that Jones's heart is the physical organ, Vexen takes his leave,
However, Vexen later saves Ansem the Wise from Xehanort's Heartless and reveals his desire to atone. Later, he has Demyx (who has also been benched) deliver a replica body and escort Ansem the Wise to Ienzo in Hollow Bastion, giving them a vessel to place Roxas's heart in.
Following Master Xehanort's defeat, Even regains his humanity and assists Ansem the Wise and Ienzo in restoring Naminé, with Sora and Kairi providing Naminé's heart.
Lexaeus
Lexaeus, the Silent Hero, is a minor antagonist in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. He is a Nobody that serves as the fifth member of Organization XIII and wields an Axe Sword and the power of Earth.
Lexaeus was once Aeleus, one of the guards of the castle in Radiant Garden. He and Dilan confront Ventus when the latter is pursuing King Mickey. However, when the Trinity Armor Unversed arrives, Aeleus and Dilan attempt to help Ventus, but Even reminds them of their duty and reveals that Ansem the Wise needs them. Later, Aeleus throws Lea and Isa out of Hollow Bastion.
Sometime later, Aeleus was attacked by Terra-Xehanort, who turned him into a Heartless and Nobody. This Nobody, named Lexaeus, joined the Organization.
Lexaeus is one of the members assigned to Castle Oblivion, along with Vexen, Larxene, Marluxia, and Zexion. He is working with Vexen and Zexion in their own personal scheme.
When Riku arrives in Castle Oblivion, Lexaeus confronts him at the end of the fourth basement. After an arduous battle, Lexaeus attempts to finish Riku off, by sacrificing himself in a suicidal attack with the power of darkness which sends Riku to the Realm of Darkness. In the Re:Chain of Memories remake, Xehanort's Heartless instead promptly possesses Riku and finishes off Lexaeus. As he dies, Lexaeus apologizes to Zexion.
Lexaeus's spirit later reemerges as an Absent Silhouette and forms at the Sandlot in Twilight Town after Sora, Donald, and Goofy battled a swarm of Nobodies there. If Sora investigates the Silhouette, Lexaeus engages the trio, but is eventually slain.
Lexaeus is revived as Aeleus along with Dilan, Even, Ienzo and Lea as revealed in Dream Drop Distance. After Lea searches all over Hollow Bastion for Braig and Isa, Aeleus informs Lea that Dilan and Even are still unstable.
Zexion
Zexion, also known as the "Cloaked Schemer", is the Nobody of Ienzo and Rank VI in Organization XIII. He serves as the secondary antagonist in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories: Reverse/Rebirth, wishing to use Riku as a puppet in Castle Oblivion. He wields the element of Illusion, and uses his element to create illusions and objects to fight for him. Unlike the other Organization members, Zexion's weapon was originally unknown, and his talents were used only outside of normal combat.
In Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, Zexion's weapon was revealed to be a book called a Lexicon. Zexion appeared in Chain of Memories as a participant in the struggle within the Organization between the newer and veteran members. Zexion appeared in the game Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, as one of the playable characters in multiplayer mode.
He is voiced by Vincent Corazza in the English dubbed version, and Akira Ishida in the Japanese version. When disguised as Sora, he is voiced by Haley Joel Osment in the English dubbed version, and Miyu Irino in the Japanese version.
Zexion was once Ienzo, a quiet boy and one of six apprentices to the ruler and scientist of Radiant Garden, alongside Xehanort, Braig, Dilan, Even, and Aeleus. Worried the Darkness in people's hearts would eventually consume his world, Ansem began performing tests on Xehanort's heart. Eventually, at Ienzo's persuasion, he created a laboratory in his castle's basement for such experimentation. However, Ienzo and the other apprentices had their own intentions for the laboratory, and began conducting inhumane experiments on the human heart and the darkness within it. Such experimentation led to the creation of Heartless. Ansem quickly discovered their secret experiments, and immediately ordered them to stop. One day, after being advised to review their research data by King Mickey, Ansem found that the effects of their experiments had become irreversible.
Eventually, Ienzo and the other five apprentices dabbled too deep into darkness through their continued experiments. Ienzo, along with the others, was consumed by the darkness, producing a Heartless. However, the apprentices all had strong wills, and so Ienzo also became his Nobody, Zexion. The six Nobodies formed Organization XIII, and banished Ansem the Wise to the Realm of Darkness.
In 358/2 Days, Zexion is present when Xion joins Organization XIII. Zexion later teaches Roxas how to fill the mission gauge in Twilight Town, before being sent away to Castle Oblivion. True to his personality, he was patient with the Keyblade wielder, carefully and calmly explaining the filling of the gauge in great detail. Zexion also makes a cameo appearance later in the storyline. During Xion's nightmare on Destiny Islands, Roxas stands on the beach of the island, missing his friend. He later sees the hooded Sora copy and approaches her. She removes her hood and turns out to be none other than Zexion, who proceeds to taunt a younger version of Riku as he did in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. The scene then begins to fade, Xion (In the form of the shocked Roxas) undergoing a series of transformations until she finally takes Sora's form for the first time.
After Sora had been lured into Castle Oblivion, Zexion discovers two other scents deep in the dungeons of the castle. One of them belongs to a Maleficent formed from someone's memory, having been given life by Castle Oblivion's unique properties. Originally, he mistakes the other scent to be that of "The Superior". Eventually, however, Zexion and his cohorts determine that the scent belongs to Riku, who had appeared in the Castle by force of will after Sora's arrival. Vexen hypothesizes that the darkness in Riku's heart ("Ansem") caused Zexion to mistake him for "The Superior", calling the effect "fascinating". Specifically, Riku's heart is plagued by the presence of Ansem.
Zexion, as well as Lexaeus and Vexen, come to see that Marluxia, keeper of Castle Oblivion, intends to take control of Organization XIII, with the help of Larxene, by using Sora as their puppet. Though they see that they can use Riku to counter Sora, they decide to oppose Marluxia's plot by having Vexen investigate Marluxia under the guise of offering to help using the Riku Replica he creates with combat data from the real Riku. However, Vexen is eventually killed on Marluxia's orders by Axel, whom Zexion and Lexaeus had been unsure about trusting. Axel later tells them he had performed the deed only to gain Marluxia's trust, and continues to cooperate with Zexion in tracking Sora and Riku.
Seeing that Vexen's efforts to derail Marluxia's plan had failed, Zexion sends Lexaeus to sway Riku into joining them, but Riku refuses to allow darkness to control him and defeats Lexaeus in combat. With the last of his strength, Lexaeus manages to knock Riku unconscious, rendering him helpless. However, before he can finish the job, Xehanort's Heartless takes control of Riku's body and finishes Lexaeus with the power of darkness. Riku is then enveloped in his own personal darkness, where "Ansem" tries to corrupt him - however, he is saved by King Mickey and continues ascending Castle Oblivion.
After Lexaeus dies in his failed attempt to subvert Riku's resistance to darkness, Zexion discusses the Organization's fate with Axel and learns that Larxene has been killed as well, bringing the number of Organization members eliminated to three. Axel tells him that he himself was defeated by Sora as well, and that Marluxia is almost certainly the next to go.
Zexion decides that with the possibility of Marluxia dying soon, Riku is no longer needed, and heads off to intercept him. Zexion appears before Riku while he is between floors of the castle, shortly after the death of Marluxia. As the force of Marluxia's death shakes the castle, Riku halts with surprise and comments how a very strong scent in the air has died. Zexion materializes in front of him and tells him that Sora has just defeated Marluxia. Riku is surprised to learn that Sora is also in the castle, but Zexion tells him he would never be able to face him after having such darkness in his heart.
He gives Riku a World Card to Destiny Islands, and Riku winds up facing a Darkside Heartless. After he defeats it, Zexion reappears, and continues to play on his guilt, telling him Sora will always oppose him as a host of the dark. Sora then appears himself, brandishing his Keyblade and accusing Riku of being corrupt. He envelops Riku in light, rendering him unable to do anything. Instead of drowning Riku into helplessness, however, the predicament causes Naminé to come to his aid, in the guise of Kairi, telling him that he should stop rejecting the darkness within his heart, and instead tells him to draw on that power to free himself of the oppressing light and strike out at Sora. He wounds Sora, whose disguise falters to reveal Zexion, who had been using his powers of illusion to deceive Riku.
Zexion is astounded by Riku's ability to control the darkness, and is also enraged at his perseverance. He decides to engage Riku in combat himself, albeit wounded, but still puts up a rather difficult fight. However, Riku eventually overcomes and defeats Zexion (in the original Chain of Memories Zexion runs away instead of fighting Riku).
After escaping from Riku, Zexion appears in a room, where Axel and a companion are waiting. In a panic, Zexion thinks Axel's companion is Riku himself, but then realizes it's only the Riku Replica. Axel and the replica then approach Zexion, and Axel directs the replica's attention to his lack of wholeness. He tells him that if he can find strength that the real Riku doesn't have, he can become a whole person of his own, rather than a mere puppet or whole copy of Riku. The Replica then kills Zexion.
Zexion's spirit later reemerges as an Absent Silhouette, lurking in the Underworld of Olympus Coliseum.
While tracking down Hades, Sora and company encounter and observe Zexion's Silhouette. They wonder what the Silhouette is, but choose to ignore it. Later, after acquiring the Olympus Stone, Demyx reveals to Sora and company the nature of the Silhouettes, using Zexion's as an example.
If Sora chooses to battle the Silhouette, Zexion proves himself a dangerous foe, using his Lexicon to imprison Sora and company and attack them inside, but he is ultimately slain.
Following Zexion's death, Ienzo is revived alongside the rest of Ansem's apprentices.
When Lea returns to the castle from searching for Braig and Isa, Ienzo explains to Lea that if a person's Heartless and Nobody were killed and said person's homeworld was destroyed, they would end up in Traverse Town. However, Lea rejects Ienzo's ideas.
In the manga adaption of Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Zexion does not escape from Riku after being defeated in battle on the virtual Destiny Islands. Instead, Zexion appears to Riku and taunts him about being weaker than Sora because he rejects the darkness. He transforms into Sora and rebukes him for embracing it, tricking Riku into thinking it is actually Sora accusing him instead of Zexion. Later, after changing back into himself, he further influences him by saying Sora would never want to see him again because he ran away from the light, but the Organization would welcome him with open arms. He consumes Riku in light, making him unable to do anything and attempts to show the pain of the light, but Riku, enraged, instead turns on Zexion and kills him with a slash of his Soul Eater. Zexion never fights with the Riku Replica.
In the manga, Zexion visits the floor where Lexaeus was killed, and he never makes an alliance with Axel.
Saïx
Saïx, the Luna Diviner, is one of the secondary antagonists in the Kingdom Hearts series; he serves as one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Xigbar) in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts II, a minor antagonist in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, and a major antagonist in Kingdom Hearts III. He is the seventh member of the original Organization XIII and a member of the new Organization. He wields a claymore and the power of the Moon, using the latter to enter a berserk rage. He commands the Berserker Nobodies.
Saïx's original self, Isa, was the best friend of Lea, the original self of Axel, being the foil to his friend's zany antics. Prior to their attempt to infiltrate Hollow Bastion, Isa and Lea find Ventus. Watching Lea cheer the boy up, Isa joins his friend in sneaking in before they are thrown out of the castle by Dilan.
Years later, Isa's heart was removed from his body by Terra-Xehanort, creating Saïx.
Saïx plays a relatively important role in Organization XIII, assigning missions to all the other Organization members. Saïx is the one who gave Xemnas's orders to Axel to eliminate traitors to their Organization in Castle Oblivion. It is generally accepted by the remaining members that at this point the two planned to not only eliminate traitors, but also anyone who stood in the way of their plans, such as Vexen and Zexion. Saïx is also revealed to be the one who picked which members would be going to Castle Oblivion, namely the members suspected of being traitors, as well as anyone else who was "getting in the way".
After Axel's return from Castle Oblivion and his growing friendship with Roxas and Xion, a rift between Saïx and Axel begins to form. He eventually confronts Axel of this, as their friendship is more concrete because their original selves were best friends. Eventually, Saïx dismisses his previous plans with Axel as "just an idle fantasy", as they both have changed too much for them to be friends anymore.
Working on Organization XIII's plans for Sora with Xemnas, he later challenges Roxas to a battle of will when the Keyblade wielder attempts to leave Organization XIII. Saïx loses the battle, and Roxas escapes. Up until Xion's destruction and absorption at the hands of Roxas, Saïx views the Sora copy as nothing but a mere, hooded puppet. He even insists that the others would say "it" when referring to Xion, rather than "she".
After Xion's end, Xemnas orders Saïx to retrieve Roxas, who is on his way to the Castle that Never Was to defeat Organization XIII and free Kingdom Hearts, because he believes it will resurrect Xion. While not confronting Roxas himself, it is possible that Saïx was the one who sent the Neoshadows after Roxas, who destroys the Heartless easily.
Saïx's first appearance is in Hollow Bastion, along with all surviving and loyal Organization members to taunt Sora.
Saïx first appears in the Sandlot after Sora and company rescue Seifer from lesser Nobodies. Saïx appears before the trio, applauding their battle skills. He informs them of a traitor, Axel, and believes that he might be in Twilight Town somewhere. Sora insults the Organization, remarking on how they're "not a very organized Organization." Saïx is unfazed, and tells Sora to watch his back, for Axel will stop at nothing to turn him into a Heartless. Sora declares he is not worried, prompting Saïx to remark that the Organization would want nothing to happen to Sora. He also cryptically remarks that the Organization knows how to "injure a heart". He then opens a portal of darkness behind him, and Sora thinks of jumping in after him, though Saïx overhears this and advises not to do so, lest he ends up like Riku.
Sora inquires as to what he means, but Saïx immediately leaves to report to Xemnas that he succeeded in placing Sora in a state of confusion and frustration to keep him going toward their goal. Saïx also states that Axel may prove a thorn in their side, which leads to Xemnas giving him orders to deal with the renegade.
Saïx next appears in Hollow Bastion during the Heartless invasion, interrupting Axel and Sora's conversation, and forcing the traitor Nobody to flee. Saïx ensures that Axel will be rightly punished, but Sora is not mollified, his only goal being to enter the realm of darkness to rescue Kairi. His face unreadable, Saïx asks Sora to prove just how much he cares about Kairi. In response, Sora actually gets onto his knees and begs at the Nobody's feet. Seeing Sora's devotion to the Princess of Heart, Saïx sees this as a further opportunity to enrage and confuse Sora so that he might further the Organization's goal. He refuses Sora's wish, eliciting a hot fury. Bending Sora's anger to suit his own needs, Saïx convinces Sora to destroy more Heartless so that the hearts held within them are released by the Keyblade. Then they may flock to Xemnas' synthetic Kingdom Hearts, which will be all the closer to completion because of it.
At that moment, Maleficent appears, declaring with much aplomb that Kingdom Hearts will belong to her. She summons more Heartless to attack Saïx, despite Sora's protests, but Saïx calmly summons several Nobodies to destroy the attacking Heartless. Maleficent then places herself between Sora and the Nobodies, telling him to devise a way to vanquish the Organization. Swarmed by Nobodies, she is overwhelmed and disappears, allowing Saïx to resume convincing Sora to release more hearts. But before he can finish his ploy, Sora, Donald, and Goofy are rescued by a portal of darkness that swallows them up (which was Maleficent's doing).
Saïx is seen again talking to Kairi in her cell in the Castle That Never Was within the world of Nobodies. He tells her, much to her horror, that she is the "fire that feeds Sora's anger." Kairi realizes that Sora is getting lured into a trap all because of her. However, Naminé, her Nobody, unexpectedly appears in her cell and rescues her through a portal of darkness. The two halves then begin fleeing the Castle to try and make good on their escape. Saïx soon appears and attempts to stop Kairi and Naminé, but Riku (still cloaked and in the form of Xehanort's Heartless) attacks him from behind. Saïx does a backflip in the air and lands a few feet away. Riku slams him up against the wall, intending to finish him once and for all. However, Saïx opens up a portal behind him and sinks away into the wall with a smirk.
Saïx again appears in the Castle That Never Was to Sora, who had managed to work his way through the Organization's floating fortress with the help of Donald, Goofy, Riku, and Kairi. He looks lovingly upon his Kingdom Hearts, his source of power. He tells Sora that Kairi no longer needs him and makes a cryptic remark about a "friend from the darkness." Sora is not deterred by Saïx's manipulative comments, but Saïx is not concerned. He tells Sora that the Organization's Kingdom Hearts is nearly done, pointing to the heart-shaped moon in the sky. He then enigmatically asks Sora if he can hear the euphoria of the countless hearts he has harvested. He summons more Heartless for Sora to destroy, but his attention is quickly turned to Maleficent, who has also infiltrated the castle along with Pete. He takes this in stride, wondering in an amused voice if the intrusions will ever end, and soon after vanishes to check on Kingdom Hearts.
Saïx appears to Xemnas, who is watching Kingdom Hearts come closer to completion. He asks the Superior if he can end this "charade", and Xemnas grants him permission. Sora's part in their plan is done with and he can now safely be killed. Saïx smiles savagely and remarks that he's waited so long to hear that.
Saïx awaits Sora, Donald, Goofy, Riku, and Kairi in a room with a direct view of Kingdom Hearts: Addled Impasse. He calls Sora by the name of "Roxas", saying only he could have made it this far, though Donald vehemently states that he is Sora. Saïx seems not to care, simply stating: "Different name, same fate." Then, summoning his claymore, he creates a potent shockwave with sheer strength alone. This power manages to push away Kairi and Riku back towards the entrance of the room. He then quickly erects a force field, separating them from the battle, yet doing no harm. Them taken care of, he confronts Sora, Donald, and Goofy for the final time. He finally lets his outer decorum slip away. Under the influence of the moon, he becomes savage and unrestrained, truly a model for his Berserker Nobodies.
However, despite Saïx's great strength, speed, power, and skill, he is overcome. Defeated and mortally wounded, he limps away from Sora to the ledge overlooking the moon. With the last of his strength, he asks: "Why... Kingdom Hearts... Where is my heart?". All his power gone, he now fades back into darkness.
Isa is revived in Radiant Garden, along with Lea and the rest of Ansem's apprentices save Xehanort. Young Xehanort arrives and, with Braig's assistance, takes Isa to join the new Organization.
Saïx, revealed to have been infused with a fragment of Xehanort's heart, is made a member of the new Organization. When Lea attempts to save Sora from being turned into the thirteenth member, Saïx is sent to stall Lea, much to Lea's horror.
Following the Organization's failure to turn Sora into a vessel, Master Xehanort, Xigbar, and Saïx meet at the Keyblade Graveyard to find a way to complete the Organization. Saïx, having discovered Vexen's notes on the forgotten Xion, suggests using her to replace Sora, and decides to fetch Vexen to refine the replicas. Visiting Radiant Garden, Saïx approaches Even, who is wandering the square, with an offer to rejoin the Organization. At the Keyblade Graveyard, Vexen lies that he chose to return to the Organization to continue research on his Replica Program, with Saïx saying Ansem did not appreciate his abilities while Xehanort did.
Saïx later appears at the Clock Tower in Twilight Town with Lea, but with no intention of fighting him. The two talk as if they were still friends, their conversation revealing their true motives for joining the original Organization XIII; as Somebodies, they had befriended a girl only referred to as Subject X, who was held inside the castle of Radiant Garden. When she disappeared, the two became apprentices of Ansem the Wise before he too disappeared and Isa became a Nobody alongside Lea. Their entire reason for climbing the ranks of Organization XIII was to get information on Subject X and learn what happened to her, knowing full well that Xemnas, as Xehanort's Nobody, has knowledge of her predicament, but they had no luck in finding her. Saïx's anger at Axel's newfound friendship with Roxas and Xion was out of betrayal, feeling Axel had decided to forget about Subject X. Lea rebuffs, trying to persuade Saïx to leave the new Organization, but Saïx retorts by saying Roxas is gone forever too. Saïx and Lea part ways fully expecting to battle one another at the fated place.
Later, Saïx and Xion confront Kairi and Lea at the Keyblade Graveyard, with Saïx subtly trying to jog Xion's memories. Saïx overpowers Lea, who once again tries to persuade his old friend to stop, until Xemnas arrives and berates Lea for his treason. Saïx simply watches as Xemnas mercilessly attacks both Lea and Xion before Roxas arrives to save them. Xemnas kidnaps Kairi, leaving Saïx to deal with their enemies. Sora, Roxas, and Xion fight and defeat Saïx. When Lea approaches Saïx, the latter asks why he looks sad. Lea responds by commenting on what the Organization has reduced Saïx to. Saïx once again reminds Lea of his betrayal, not to the Organization, but to him, as he befriended Roxas and Xion while abandoning their goals after everything Saïx had done to try and find her. Lea assures him he never forgot, which Saïx knew deep down, allowing his jealousy to get the better of him. He fades away in Lea's arms, being called by his real name before being reborn as his original self.
Through a Secret Report, it was revealed he was actually a key part of the Guardians of Lights' victory; having met Even, both expressed a desire to atone for their past actions. Since Saïx was already in the real Organization XIII, he had the ability to bring Even in as a Nobody once again, the latter willing to sacrifice his new life to get access to his Replica Program, which would allow Roxas, Xion, and Naminé to become human and therefore coexist with their original selves.
Sometime after in the game's epilogue Isa is reborn as original self and reunites with Lea, Roxas and Xion on top of Twilight Tower hands out sea-salt ice cream and are joined by Hayner, Pence and Olette and together they join the others at Destiny Islands for a celebration, Isa and the others bear witness to Sora and Kairi reuniting one last time before the former disappears for misusing the power of waking.
Axel
Axel is a major character in the Kingdom Hearts series, as well as an anti-hero/anti-villain in the franchise. He is a pyrokinetic Nobody who originally served as the eighth member of Organization XIII. He is initially introduced as somewhat of a laid-back character, though he develops significantly over the course of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts II.
He was voiced by the late Keiji Fujiwara in the Japanese version, and Quinton Flynn in the English version.
Prior to his attempt to infiltrate Radiant Garden with his best friend Isa, Lea finds Ventus and cheers him up. After stating to a confused Isa his ideals, Lea attempts to sneak into Ansem the Wise's castle before they thrown out by Dilan. Years later, Lea's heart was removed from his body by Terra-Xehanort, creating Axel. Isa also received this fate, creating Saïx. Xehanort then recruited Axel, along with Saïx to be No. 7 and No. 8 in the new Organization XIII.
Chronologically, Axel is not seen again until the beginning of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Axel, along with Xemnas, introduces Sora's Nobody, Roxas, into the Organization as No. 13. Roxas later forms a friendship with Axel, and they repeatedly meet up on top of the Twilight Town Clocktower to share their favorite sea-salt ice cream after finishing the day's work. Axel is also partnered with Roxas on numerous missions. He jokes that the Organization has made Axel Roxas's "babysitter".
A few times in the game, Axel is sent to Castle Oblivion, looking for the Chamber of Waking, as well as both Replicas created by Vexen, and eliminating traitors to the Organization. While in Castle Oblivion, he meets Sora, who is not entirely sure if Axel is an enemy or a friend. He and Sora indirectly work together to defeat the other members of the Organization in the castle: Marluxia, Larxene, Vexen, Zexion and Lexaeus. Axel uses the Replica of Riku to achieve this, until the Replica is destroyed by the real Riku.
Some time after, Axel returned, and the first thing he did was find Roxas so they could have ice cream at their usual spot. Axel later befriends a perfect replica, modeled with Sora's memories of Kairi, named Xion, after Roxas introduces him to her. However, as both Roxas and Xion realize themselves and their roles, they become more distant from Axel.
After Xion deserts the Organization, Axel is ordered to hunt her down, though he doesn't want to harm Xion. However, he becomes irritated when he realizes both Xion and Roxas are cutting him off, and attacks Xion. He is unable to kill her, and only manages to knock her unconscious, and brings her back to the Castle. However, he then collapses from his injuries.
At the ending stages of the game, both Roxas and Axel lose contact with Xion. Roxas, confused and angry, leaves the Organization as well, greatly saddening Axel. Later, Xion appears in Twilight Town and battles Roxas with new power gained from Sora. After Roxas eventually kills Xion, Axel gradually forgets she ever existed. Axel is last seen in 358/2 Days when he receives a WINNER sea-salt ice cream stick from Roxas.
After losing a battle with Riku, Roxas is placed into a computer-simulated version of Twilight Town, created by DiZ, who also temporarily wipes Roxas' memories. Axel is tasked with returning Roxas to the Organization, so he travels into the virtual Twilight Town, and duels with Roxas and reveals key information about his past to jog his memory. Axel loses the duel, and is thrown out of the simulation by DiZ, who convinces Roxas that Axel was a dream.
Then, Axel enters the virtual world again, this time under orders to kill Roxas. He again attempts to restore his memory, but fails. He summons lesser Nobodies to weaken Roxas, then goes in for the kill. He is stopped by DiZ, who helps Roxas escape Axel. At this point, Axel realizes he has no choice but to obliterate Roxas.
He attempts to attack Roxas a third time, this time accompanied by higher-ranking Nobodies. However, Roxas defeats these Nobodies, and attacks Axel with dual Keyblades, named Oathkeeper and Oblivion. Axel is surprised by their power, and loses the battle. Axel falls back, and chooses not to carry out his mission.
After Sora awakens from his year-long sleep and rejoins with Roxas, Axel kidnaps Kairi from Destiny Islands, to try and draw Sora out so Roxas could be resurrected. However, Kairi proves more troublesome than Axel expected, and escapes to Twilight Town, where she hides from Axel. However, Axel finds her and hands her over to Saïx. Xemnas suspects Axel's motives, and thinks Axel will soon defect from the Organization.
In Hollow Bastion, Axel meets Sora again, revealing small bits of information about the Organization. Sora realizes that Axel is the one who kidnapped Kairi. However, when Axel confirms this, Saïx appears, prompting Axel to escape through a dark portal. It is that this point that the Organization confirms that Axel has defected.
When Sora attempts to travel to the Organization's headquarters, he is trapped by an army of Nobodies in Betwixt and Between. However, Axel arrives, and aids Sora in battling the Nobodies. Just when they are about to be overwhelmed, Axel uses an attack that uses up all his energy and his life force, utterly draining him. He does this to allow Sora to continue, as Sora is Roxas's whole form. After saying a last few words, he opens a portal to the World that Never Was, and finally dies.
Axel is reincarnated in his original form of Lea in the beginning of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, and he looks exactly like his Nobody self, the only difference being Lea lacks the purple marks underneath his eyes. When he was reincarnated, Lea noticed that Dilan, Xaldin's Somebody, Even, Vexen's Somebody, Ienzo, Zexion's Somebody, and Aeleus, Lexaeus' Somebody, were also reincarnated. However, Braig, Xigbar's Somebody, and Isa were nowhere to be found. Lea searched the entire castle for Braig and Isa, but neither of them could be found. Ienzo suggested that if the two are not in the castle, then they could be at a place known as Traverse Town.
Sometime afterwards, Lea went to the Mysterious Tower to become a Keyblade Master. He used a Corridor of Darkness to get there. But about halfway there, Lea spotted Maleficent and Pete holding Queen Minnie hostage. Lea rescued Minnie by throwing one of his chakrams at the two. After Maleficent and Pete retreated, Lea exited the Corridor, wanting to help Sora and his friends, as well as wanting to see Yen Sid so he could be a Keyblade Master. While Sora and Riku were in the Dream Worlds, Lea was training with Yen Sid and the three Good Fairies.
Later on, Sora was captured by the True Organization XIII after being trapped in a deep sleep by Young Xehanort. Riku and Mickey tried to rescue him, but were restrained by Ansem, Seeker of Darkness and Xemnas. Luckily, Lea, along with Donald and Goofy, showed up to rescue his friends. During the rescue, one of the Organization members, wielding a familiar claymore, attacked Lea. His attacker's hood fell off, revealing that Saïx/Isa had sided with the Organization, much to Lea's dismay. Xehanort and his cohorts took their leave, allowing Lea and the others to escape.
When all of them returned to the Mysterious Tower, Riku decided that he should be the one to travel into Sora's heart to awaken him. Lea replied that he would help Riku should he fall into the darkness. After Riku was successful, Lea and the others were celebrating Riku for saving Sora. Shortly after Riku was appointed Keyblade Master, Lea claims that he'll catch up to Riku soon while revealing to them his intent to use a Keyblade. Trying to manifest it once more, Lea gets astonished when his Keyblade appears, which shocked everyone else as well.
It was later mentioned by Yen Sid that Lea is training to wield a Keyblade under Merlin and later in the ending of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep 0.2 -A Fragmentary Passage-, it is revealed that Kairi will be joining him in the training as well for the coming war.
Demyx
Demyx, the Melodious Nocturne (in Japanese: 夜想のしらべ, Yasō no Shirabe, lit. Nocturnal Poem), is the ninth member of Organization XIII and an antagonist in the Kingdom Hearts video game series.
He is a lazy and irresponsible member of the Organization who wields a sitar in battle, using it to manipulate water and command it in his favor. He is also the commander of the Dancer Nobodies.
He is voiced by Kenichi Suzumura in Japanese and by Ryan O'Donohue in English.
According to Xemnas, Demyx's original self was a Keyblade wielder during the Age of Fairy Tales. At some point, this Keyblade wielder succumbed to darkness, spawning a Heartless. However, his will was strong enough to spawn a Nobody as well, who joined the Organization as Demyx. In his own room at an unknown time, Demyx was fixing his hair in front of the mirror, which something he did when he was a human made him do. Finishing setting his hair, Demyx picked up his sitar and strummed it. He played and played, but was interrupted by Xaldin, who told him to keep it down because he wanted to sleep.
Annoyed, Xaldin questioned why Demyx clings to his human memories, but he did not reply. Xaldin told him that Nobodies need to sleep because a terrible force is moving their world and they need rest to store up power. Demyx did not reply once again as Xaldin left the room, displeased.
Demyx is present when Xion joined the Organization. Demyx sometimes accompanies Roxas on several missions, including battling a Flare Note in Olympus Coliseum and tackling a Dual Blade in Halloween Town. When Roxas approaches Demyx, he willingly admits that he "isn't cut out for combat" and would rather perform recon.
Demyx appears in Hollow Bastion (formerly known as Radiant Garden) with all of the other Organization members, but he does not contact Sora. Demyx's nervous laugh is audible when the Organization laughs at Sora.
Demyx is sent after Sora on suggestion by Xigbar to find him and to keep Sora on the Organization's desires. He also contacts Hades, but no deal was made and Demyx promptly flees, while passing by Sora and his friends. Later on, Demyx steals the Olympus Stone, and soon encounters Sora within the Underworld once more. Although Sora doesn't understand the meaning of Demyx's objectives, nor why Demyx calls him Roxas, Demyx is unable to fulfill them and took the next ordered step, which is to attack Sora. He summons multiple water clones to attack Sora, but Sora manages to defeat them all.
Just afterwards, Demyx appears to Sora and explains the nature of the Absent Silhouettes.
Demyx confronts Sora later in Hollow Bastion during the Battle of 1000 Heartless, again greeting Sora in a rather friendly manner. However, Sora and his companions' response is hostile, even claiming that Demyx is unable to fight. Demyx tried to show some bravery by saying, "You shouldn't judge anyone by appearance.", but when Sora and friends took out their weapons, Demyx began to cower, claiming that Organization XIII sent the wrong guy. Sora and his friends then claimed that the Nobodies do not have hearts. Demyx's normal carefree attitude vanishes, and he silences them with a much darker tone and attacks the "traitor" again with all his strength. In the end, however, Demyx is defeated again and fatally wounded. After lamenting his loss, he fades into darkness.
Demyx returns in Kingdom Hearts III. Though he is originally brought back to join the Real Organization XIII, he is quickly "benched" and replaced with one of Vexen's replicas. something that Larxene makes fun of him for. However, due to Demyx's past as a Keyblade wielder from the Age of Fairy Tales, the Organization is still keeping him as a reserve member.
Later, Vexen tracks Demyx down in Radiant Garden and attempts to convince him to help him defeat the Organization. While Demyx counters by claiming he and Vexen never knew each other, Vexen explains that this is exactly why Demyx is perfect for the role. Vexen then has Demyx deliver a replica and Ansem the Wise to Ienzo, who uses the replica to resurrect Roxas.
In the Keyblade Graveyard, Demyx came to take the replica that was inhabited by Dark Riku. Overconfident, Riku told him that it was not just any vessel and that it had to be delivered to Radiant Garden safely. As a result, Namine became whole.
Luxord
Luxord, the Gambler of Fate (in Japanese: 運命を賭す者, Unmei o Tosumono?), is the tenth member of Organization XIII and a supporting antagonist in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts III.
A skilled gambler, he possesses the ability to manipulate time, which he uses to force his opponents to play timed games, with unfortunate consequences if they cannot learn the rules and lose. He commands the Gambler Nobodies, who force their opponents to participate in games similar to the one Luxord uses in fights.
He harasses Sora and his friends in Port Royal, playing a game with them involving the cursed Aztec treasure there. He later battles Sora alone in the World That Never Was, and is the third-to-last member of Organization XIII to fall.
He is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes in the English version, and by Joji Nakata in the Japanese version.
Luxord's original self was a Keyblade wielder from the Age of Fairy Tales. At some point, he succumbed to darkness, but his will was so strong his body became a Nobody and was recruited into the Organization.
Luxord plays a minor role in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. He is present when Xion joined the Organization, and would often team up with Roxas in missions in Wonderland. This association with this world is more than likely thanks to the Queen of Hearts's card army. Luxord joins Roxas on other missions and stays in the Grey Area as well. Luxord took all of his missions as a game, and would tend to comment on them as such to Roxas. He was shocked when Xemnas called the meeting to announce the truth about Xion being a Replica, and simply said, "If only the whispers from the top of the ladder carried to the bottom rung," before vanishing from Where Nothing Gathers.
Luxord appears with all of the other Organization members in the confrontation with Sora and stands behind and to the left of Saïx. He makes no contact with Sora. In fact, he isn't even seen again until Port Royal the second time through.
Upon making second rounds to the worlds in search of the Organization's stronghold, Sora once again allies with Jack Sparrow in Port Royal, where he learns that Will Turner has gone missing while investigating the theft of cursed pirate gold by a man in a black hood. They seek out Will on the Black Pearl and find him on the Interceptor.
Luxord appears on the Black Pearl after they have recovered Will, with the cursed gold beside him, greeting Jack Sparrow. He reveals that he is at Port Royal to assess the value of the cursed gold to the Organization and calls up Grim Reaper, a Heartless. After the Heartless is thrown overboard, Luxord invokes the right of parley before Jack can get off a shot with his pistol. He agrees to hand over the chest, but takes four medallions from it when he does so, sending them off to his Gambler Nobodies, who escape with them. This has the effect of returning the curse on Jack and tying his curse to Grim Reaper, who becomes cursed, as well.
The Grim Reaper then knocks Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Jack onto the Interceptor, and has the cannons of the Black Pearl destroy the ship. Sora and the others survive, and track down the medallions, and defeated the Grim Reaper back at Port Royal, lifting the curse on Jack. Even with Luxord's experiments having failed, he manages to bring the heart that the Grim Reaper was holding to Kingdom Hearts, and promptly flees.
During several additional scenes in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Luxord is featured with a prominent speaking role. Immediately after taunting Sora, the Organization returns to their meeting chamber. In response to talk about making plans, Luxord says that he'll "Pass out some cards.", meaning he intends to dabble around here and there, stirring things up to see what he can do. This inadvertently instigates a small argument between Xigbar and Demyx, and after Xaldin breaks it up, Luxord disappointedly remarks "There goes my entertainment."
He is again seen just before Sora enters The World That Never Was, discussing Axel with the remaining members. He notes that Axel may have gained something by putting his existence on the line to help Sora. When Xigbar reacts that, as Nobodies, they have no existence to put on the line, Luxord replies: "Then, perhaps he bet his NON-existence. Either way, he came out a winner.". He then adds with a smile: "Oh, Axel. A grifter till the end.".
Luxord appears once more in the Organization's fortress in The World that Never Was. When Sora, Kairi, Riku, Donald and Goofy enter the area where Luxord waits, Sora walks ahead of the rest. Materializing between Sora and his friends, Luxord uses his cards to remove Sora's allies from the area, and challenges Sora to a game involving time. Luxord fights against Sora, using a variety of tricks and games of luck with his playing cards, but in the end, Sora is able to wear Luxord's time down and defeat him. As Sora readies a finishing blow, Luxord raises his cards to shield himself, but Sora slices through the cards and finishes Luxord off. Before fading into darkness, Luxord exclaims, "How could you... Roxas?".
Luxord returns in Kingdom Hearts III as a member of the real Organization XIII and noticeably sports golden eyes like the other members. After being briefed by Vexen, Luxord goes about finding the black box in The Caribbean upon learning of a being that can exist without having a heart inside. He challenges the heroes to a race and somehow manages to trick Captain Jack Sparrow (unaware that the real one is elsewhere) into revealing the box as the Dead Man's Chest that contains the heart of Davy Jones. Luxord then goes to find the box on the Flying Dutchman a
nd uses an entire fleet of Heartless to keep the heroes at bay. He then later arrives in the Maelstrom battle and summons the Kraken for the heroes to handle as he pursues the Flying Dutchman. He then confronts Captain Jack Sparrow in an attempt to take the box and use the right of parley. But Jack outsmarts him by interrupting him and uses his bad breath to send Luxord into the ocean just as Vexen confirms that this isn't the box they are after.
At the Keyblade Graveyard, Luxord participates in the clash between darkness and light and joins Marluxia and Larxene in fighting King Mickey. He manages to trap Mickey in a card and has Sora find his real self in a game of sorts before eventually being defeated by him. Upon defeat, Luxord hands Sora a "wild card" that could turn the tables. Sora asks if he would play again when they are both normal human beings to which Luxord accepts before fading away but not before leaving King Mickey's card for the king to be freed from.
Marluxia
Marluxia is a member of the original Organization XIII and a major antagonist of the Kingdom Hearts video game franchise. He is the Nobody of Lauriam, an Union leader of the Dandelions. He wields a scythe and the power of flowers, which represent death as opposed to how they represent Cure magic in the games for all the other characters. Marluxia, along with Larxene, another Organization XIII member, schemes to overthrow Xemnas, with the help of Sora, so they can become the leaders.
In the original Japanese version, he was voiced by Shuichi Ikeda. In the English dub, he was voiced by Keith Ferguson, who also voices Flintheart Glomgold in the DuckTales reboot series.
Lauriam, Marluxia's original self, was a Keyblade wielder seemingly chosen by Master Ava to lead the Dandelions during the First Keyblade War. He was one of the five leaders, alongside Ventus, Brain, Ephemer, and Skuld. He appeared shortly after an unknown person murdered his sister Strelitzia, a Keyblade Wielder also chosen by Master Ava to lead the Dandelions, stole her book, and took her place amongst the leaders. Looking for answers behind Strelitzia's death, Lauriam seeks the aid of fellow Keyblade wielder Elrena (Larxene's original self).
At an unknown point in time, Lauriam succumbed to darkness, turning his heart into a Heartless. However, his will was so strong it left behind a Nobody, who was recruited into the Organization by Xigbar and Xaldin.
After the events of the first game, Sora, Donald, and Goofy are wandering a long road. In the middle of the night, a hooded Marluxia appears and leads them to Castle Oblivion. Once inside, he takes all of their memories, and puts them into cards, weakening the party. He then teaches them how to use the cards, and then leaves after giving them a card that allows then to revisit a world from their memories.
As the game goes on, it is discovered that Marluxia has gotten fellow members of the Organization Axel and Larxene to help him conspire against the leader of the Organization, Xemnas. To do this, he wishes to use Naminé to twist Sora's memories, turning him into a slave of the Organization, so that the power of the Keyblade could be theirs. However, Vexen is killed by Axel after his defeat against Sora to prevent him of revealing their plans, Larxene is killed by Sora, Goofy and Donald, and Axel betrays him, leaving him the last person in the conspiracy.
Sora makes it up to the floor with Naminé, and after a short talk Marluxia reveals himself, and demands that Naminé use her powers to crush Sora's heart, but Naminé refuses, and Marluxia fights Sora. Sora is able to overpower him, but he then reappears and reveals that the Marluxia he fought was an illusion and flees into the highest room in the Castle, awaiting Sora with a reaper machine to help him fight. After that he fights Sora with an angel-like Nobody, which is the ultimate proof of his powers. In the end, Marluxia still falls at Sora's hands and is destroyed, fading away.
Marluxia's spirit remains as a special kind of Nobody, called an Absent Silhouette, and manifests itself inside the Beast's Castle in the Beast's room after Sora convinces the Beast to take back Belle and the rose from Xaldin. If Sora chooses to investigate the Silhouette, Marluxia reappears and engages Sora in a hectic rematch, but is defeated. A data replica of Marluxia also appears in the Cavern of Remembrance.
Marluxia returns in Kingdom Hearts III as part of the real Organization, despite his attempts of overthrowing the original. His eyes are now golden, therefore implying that he has become a vessel of Xehanort. He first appears in Corona, offering to help Gothel find Rapunzel (Taking the role of the Stabbington Brothers from the film). Later, he appears to Sora and reintroduces himself, and comments on their past encounter, even though Sora has no memory of it. He then claims that the Organization seeks to compliment the light, and that Rapunzel is the light of Corona. Later, he kidnaps Flynn, then ties him to a boat with Rapunzel's crown in matter that made it look like he was abadoning her. He then confronts the Princess and claims that Flynn has robbed her. Rapunzel doesn't believe him and runs, only to encounter Gothel who dispatches Marluxia's nobodies. Rapunzel, now starting to believe Marluxia's lies, returns to Gothel, in tears. Marluxia then confronts Sora and reveals that Gothel keeps Rapunzel prisoner, and that this serves Xehanort's goals by "preserving" her, because she is one of the seven new Princesses of Heart. Sora tries attacking Marluxia, but he knocks Sora out. Later, after Gothal disentigrates, Marluxia transforms her remains into a heartless.
Marluxia later met with his old partner-in-crime Larxene where she suggested another coup of the Organization. This time, however, Marluxia rejected the idea, reiterating that despite their previous betrayal of the Organization, Master Xehanort brought them back to be his vessels and nothing more. He and Larxene were both present with Demyx and Luxord when their old superior Xemnas revealed to them why they were all chosen as vessels for the real Organization XIII: their past connection to the Keyblade legacy. When the Second Keyblade War begins with the real Organization XIII and the Guardians of Light, Marluxia, Larxene, and Luxord gang up on King Mickey before Sora intervenes. After Marluxia is defeated, he seems to regain his forgotten memories of his past life before becoming a Nobody, laughing at the irony of how he just now remembers what is important to him. Having remembered his true purpose, Marluxia thanks Sora before fading away and presumably being recompleted as Lauriam again.
Larxene
Larxene, the Savage Nymph (in Japanese: 非情の妖姫, Hijō no Yōki, lit. Callous Vixen), is a recurring antagonist in the Kingdom Hearts series, and the Nobody of Elrena, a member of the Dandelions. She is the twelfth member of Organization XIII as well as being the only official female member of the team (with Xion being an unofficial member), and also has a very sadistic nature. She wields a set of knives named Foudre and the power of thunder, which she uses for quick and lethal attacks.
She is voiced by Yuko Miyamura in Japanese and by Shanelle Workman in English.
Elrena was a Keyblade Wielder during the age of fairy tales. As her original self she was a member of the Dandelions. She first appears when Lauriam (Marluxia's original self) seeks her to ask about his missing sister Strelitzia, since she and Elrena were often going in missions together. She is very willing to help Lauriam to the point that even her Chirithy states that is not her usual behaviour since she normally doesn't care about other people.
Through unknown means, she and several other Keyblade wielders were spared from the desolation of the Keyblade War and ended up in the current timeline before losing their hearts to darkness. Elrena's empty vessel became the Nobody named Larxene who was recruited into Organization XIII.
Larxene appears as a playable character in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days' mission mode and a minor character in story mode. She is ranked number 12 within the organization, and joins Marluxia in his plot to overthrow Xemnas as they are assigned to Castle Oblivion to manipulate and control Sora.
Larxene is the secondary antagonist of Sora's storyline during the events of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, appearing frequently to taunt Sora and taking delight in the rage and agony she spurs in him.
Nevertheless, Larxene's cruelty was ultimately proven to be her own undoing; after she discovers Axel's unexpected betrayal and sees her plans with Marluxia have fallen apart, her friendly manner vanishes and she attacks Sora in a rage. Ultimately, she pushes Sora, Donald and Goofy too far and suffers their combined wrath after hurting Naminé and trying to kill them. She ends up being defeated and, surprisingly in death, she sounds out a cry of what appears as sadness as she is fading.
Although she does not have a role in Kingdom Hearts II, she appears as an optional boss in Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix, where the location of her Absent Silhouette is located at Port Royal, as well as in the Data Battles with the other Organization members.
Larxene returns in Kingdom Hearts III, as a member of the real Organization XIII. Her sadistic nature is more toned down (presumably from being defeated by Sora) and she appears to be more patient, calculative, and cautious. She also appears to have little interest in Xehanort's plans.
She encounters Sora again in Arendelle where she explains that said world has a Princess of Heart and she believes it to be Elsa. However, Anna's actions cause her to think Anna could be the Princess she is looking for. Ultimatly, she learns that both Anna and Elsa are Princesses of Heart, and leaves to report this information to Xehanort.
Larxene is present with Marluxia at the Keyblade Graveyard when she proposed another coup. This time, however, Marluxia rejects the offer saying it would be pointless, since they were only brought in to be vessels for Master Xehanort. Demyx and Luxord soon arrive as well, much to Larxene's chagrin that they too are part of the True Organization XIII. Their superior Xemnas appears to meet with them about why those four were chosen for both the original and current Organization.
Larxene incorrectly answers that their hearts are "uber powerful" as Xemnas reveals the real reason; the four of them have a connection to the Keyblade legacy from the age of fairy tales, with Larxene being the most visibly shocked of them all.
Later in the final battle, Larxene, Luxord and Marluxia are fighting Mickey until Sora gives the King backup, and Larxene is defeated again. While she is angered by her second defeat, she does not respond to death in fear. Larxene accepts her fate, and dies with dignity, choosing death over being a vessel for Xehanort. She genuinely smiles at Sora when telling him her reasons for "going along for the ride" are secret before fading away, implying that she only joined the old and the real Organization to be with Marluxia. She later was presumably reborn as her former complete self.
Roxas
Roxas is an anti-villain and a major character from the Kingdom Hearts franchise. He serves as a background antagonist in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, the main villain protagonist of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, a major antagonist-turned-anti-hero of Kingdom Hearts II, and a posthumous protagonist in Kingdom Hearts: Coded and Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, and a supporting protagonist in Kingdom Hearts III. He is the Nobody of Sora and a former member of Organization XIII.
He was voiced by Jesse McCartney in the English version, and Kouki Uchiyama in the Japanese version, both of whom also voiced Ventus.
Roxas was created when Sora stabbed himself with Riku's Keyblade of People's Hearts to save Kairi at the cost of his own heart, temporarily becoming a Heartless. However, Kairi's light was able to restore Sora's heart and bring him back, resulting in Sora and Roxas coexisting. Because Sora's heart was connected with the heart of Ventus, Roxas was created resembling him, despite being Sora's Nobody.
Because of Roxas' coexistence with Sora, he lacked the memories of his other and his creation, but was capable of feeling emotion unlike other Nobodies. Additionally, because Sora and Ventus were the chosen wielders of Keyblades, Roxas too could wield the Keybalde, which attracted Heartless, but had the ability to release hearts upon slaying them. Knowing this, Roxas was taken in by Organization XIII, as they wanted to use released hearts to free Kingdom Hearts and gain hearts of their own from it. Xemnas came to Roxas and gave him his name, explaining what he was. Desperate for answers, Roxas willingly joins the Organization.
Roxas is put under the guidance of Axel, and the two become fast friends, despite Roxas' wishes to befriend others outside of the Organization. In the following days, Roxas is tasked with performing missions for the Organization as well as being trained in his combat, magic, and other abilities by Organization members Marluxia, Vexen, Zexion, Larxene, and Lexaeus.
When Axel is sent to Castle Oblivion to stop a coup orchestrated by Marluxia, Roxas is put in charge of looking after the Organization's mysterious new member Xion. Though the two start off rough, they soon open up to each other and Xion reveals that she too can wield a Keyblade. However, due to a mysterious psychic link shared with Sora, Roxas suddenly falls into a coma after Sora is put to sleep at the end of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, where Naminé begins restoring Sora's (and in turn, Roxas') memories.
Upon awakening weeks later, Roxas tries to return to his life, but memories of his past and the life of Sora suddenly begin to manifest, making him question and doubt the Organization's true purpose. As tensions begin to rise and Roxas gradually has more and more questions, Xion suddenly abandons the Organization in search of her own answers. Finally fed up with the Organization, Roxas follows suit, betraying and abandoning the Organization, with Axel heartbroken at his departure.
Roxas searches Twilight Town, and eventually finds Xion, who has found out her true identity: she is not a Nobody, but an imperfect replica of Roxas created from Sora's leaked memories by Xemnas in the event that Sora or Roxas turned out to be useless to his plans to free Kingdom Hearts. Xion betrayed the Organization and decides she will not be used for their purposes. Xion, deciding to end her existence but knowing Roxas would not kill her the way she was, transforms into a giant monster and has Roxas fight her. Roxas manages to defeat the monster Xion, who returns to her normal form just long enough to warn Roxas of the dangers of the organization before dying in his arms. Roxas then obtains her Kingdom Key, starting his ability to duel wield Keyblades, which then change into Oathkeeper and Oblivion.
Roxas, filled with rage and grief, travels to The World That Never Was to free Kingdom Hearts early so that the Organization cannot use it and so it could potentially restore Xion. However, at Memory's Skyscraper, he is overwhelmed by a flood of seemingly never-ending Heartless until he is assisted by Riku, who has just overpowered the spirit of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness that possessed him, destroying it but maintaining its dark power. After defeating the Heartless, Roxas turns on Riku. The two fight, and Roxas defeats him. However, Riku unleashes the darkness within him to become Ansem-Riku, summoning Xehanort's Guardian to attack and defeat Roxas. Riku is joined by DiZ, the real Ansem, and the two take Roxas to Twilight Town, where DiZ plans to join Roxas and Sora as one again to wake Sora up and restore his memories. However, knowing the Organization was after Roxas, DiZ placed Roxas in a safe, virtual Twilight Town with no memory of his past, the Organization, or Xion.
Roxas lives his life in the virtual Twilight Town, unaware of everything that happened before. He formed friendships with the other children of the virtual town, took part in athletic competitions, and performed odd jobs around the town. However, things began to change when the town was suddenly hit with a wave of mysterious incidents and Nobodies. Axel had found Roxas, and was ordered to bring him back to the Organization. However, even in the virtual world, Roxas could summon the Keyblade to defend himself.
As Sora's memories are further restored, Roxas begins to dream about him and even make a Dive to the Heart, resulting in him having to battle and defeat the Twilight Thorn. Axel comes for Roxas, and is upset Roxas does not remember him. He battles Roxas, but Roxas is saved by DiZ's intervention. He also begins to come into contact (both psychically and mentally) with Naminé, and in turn, her true form Kairi. Confused and angry, Roxas seeks answers, but gets none until he finally questions Naminé, who explains what he is before being taken away by DiZ. Roxas follows and escapes the virtual world, where he is again confronted by Axel, who he defeats.
Making his way to the Pod Chamber underneath the mansion, Roxas finds DiZ before the pod containing the sleeping Sora, explaining to Roxas that he plans to join them together again as one. Roxas lashes out in rage and tries to kill DiZ, but only cuts through a hologram. Though upset, he decides to accpet his fate as Sora's pod opens, sadly rejoining with his other.
Throughout the rest of the game, Roxas' presence is felt by all of the characters, especially Sora, who has gained the memories of Roxas. Riku leaves clues on how the Organization can be defeated by appealing to Roxas's side of Sora, eventually leading him to The World That Never Was. Here, Sora is seemingly attacked by Roxas, though this is, in reality, a mental battle taking place between the two sides. Sora manages to overpower and defeat Roxas, who accepts his defeat and returns into Sora.
Later, after Xemnas' initial defeat and the deaths of most of the other Organization members, Roxas projects himself through Sora to meet Naminé one last time, as she is about to join back to Kairi. They belive that as long as Sora and Kairi are together, they will be too, and the two rejoin permanently with their respective others, disappearing as part of them forever.
Data-Roxas, a data version copied from Sora's data in Jiminy's Journal, appears as an anti-villain and final boss in Kindom Hearts: Coded, helping Data-Sora in his mission, but being angry with him for forgetting his friends. He fights Data-Sora, but reveals himself as an ally afterwards and gives Data-Sora the final World Card. He also appears along with Axel and Xion as one of the visions of people that Sora must aid.
Roxas appears to Sora when he's trapped in The World That Never Was. He tells Sora that everything he is is because of Sora and that there are many others whom he has a connection to, and that Sora is him. Sora tells Roxas that he is his own person. Roxas then gives Sora the memories of his final days, allowing Sora to realize that Nobodies can regain their lost hearts, or grow ones of their own if they take on a new identity. He later appears to Riku in a data-file in Sora's mind when Riku goes to rescue Sora along with Ventus, Xion, and Ansem the Wise.
In the final battle, Sora, now having unlocked the power of waking, is able to awaken Roxas into a new body. Xion is also restored via the mechanations of Xehanort and made a Seeker of Darkness. But with Sora's help, she remembers her friends. Roxas and the other heroes later help close Kingdom Hearts while Sora confronts Xehanort, and he also witnesses Xehanort's death, and Sora sacrifice to save Kairi. The epilogue cutscenes show Roxas, Xion and Lea having ice cream as humans, and joined by a redeemed Isa. Roxas even finally and truly befriended Hayner, Pence and Olette. He is last seen with the other heroes celebrating their victory on the Destiny Islands, After two years of being a nobody and suffering from tragedy after tragedy, Roxas finally became his own person, earned his humanity, and rebult his friendship. It is assumed he lived happily ever after.
Xion
Xion is the Rank XIV member of the original Organization XIII as well as a member of the real Organization XIII. She debuted in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days as the deuteragonist and later one of the final antagonists.
She is not a normal Nobody and the only a nominal member of the Organization. Because of this, she does not have a throne in Where Nothing Gathers, nor does she have a title or a type of Nobody to control. Instead, she is an imperfect replica of Roxas created from Sora's leaked memories as a fail-safe in case both Sora and Roxas proved to be useless to Organization XIII's plans. Day 276: Behind the Truth Similar to Riku Replica, Xion was created by the Organization's scientist Vexen. While the nature of her existence enables her to use the Keyblade, Xion's existence also halts Sora's progression of regaining his memories to fully awaken while in his Memory Pod, something which Naminé, DiZ, and Riku recognize.
As Sora's memories are the basis of her being, Xion initially looked like a hooded doll, but her physical appearance eventually changes depending on who is viewing her and who they have connections with. Majority of the time, she resembles Kairi, who was Sora's strongest memory at the time of her birth, though Xigbar sees her as Ventus, and Xemnas sees her as Sora. As Naminé stated while talking with Riku, Xion's face was originally blank, until Sora's memories found their way into Xion while she gained an identity.
A week after Roxas joins Organization XIII, Xemnas introduces Xion to the other members. After looking at the other members, she smiles up at Roxas, puzzling him. As Roxas departs for his first training mission, he spots Xion shyly watching him nearby, and Saïx formally introduces her to Axel and Roxas.
When Axel is sent to Castle Oblivion, Xemnas entrusts Roxas with the task of looking after Xion, who quickly bonds with him. After only a couple of missions together, Xion removes her hood, surprising Roxas by her gender. She reveals her ability to wield the Keyblade to him and looks after him when he falls into a coma for several weeks in conjunction with Sora being put to sleep to regain his memories. Xion visits Destiny Islands, collects the seashells there including a Thalassa Shell and places them on Roxas's bed. When Roxas wakes up from his coma, Xion is happy and gives him a shell to listen to on the clock tower.
After discovering that Sora and Riku had slain all of the Organization members (except Axel) that were in Castle Oblivion at the time, Roxas, Axel, and Xion all begin spending more time together as per Roxas's suggestion and become fast friends, such as enjoying sea-salt ice cream together. After Xion asks Axel to be her friend, and he accepts, he stops seeing her as a hooded figure and begins seeing her as the black-haired girl that Roxas sees. Unfortunately, Xion can not summon the Keyblade, although she regains the ability on Day 96.
A series of events begin to split the trio apart: While DiZ and Naminé oversee the restoration of the sleeping Sora's memories (moving him from Castle Oblivion to Twilight Town), Roxas begins to experience the process for himself, and starts to ponder over how he is able to wield the Keyblade and doubt the Organization's motives; Axel is reprimanded by their superiors for placing his friendship with Roxas and Xion before the Organization's goals, and Xion is thrown into disarray after a confrontation with Riku at Beast's Castle, who questions who she is and why she wields the Keyblade, especially after he sees her face, although he lets her go.
On Day 150, she was reprimanded by Saix for failing to defeat an impostor which greatly upsets her. The next day she reveals to Roxas the dreams she's been having and her confusion on her role in the Organization.
On Day 171, Xion failed another mission, putting her in a coma. Roxas then begins giving seashells to Xion. After Xion has a dream, or more accurately, a flashback of Sora disappearing in front of Kairi at Hollow Bastion, Xion wakes up beside Roxas on Day 193.
On Day 225, Xion discovers the Organization's computer and reads records about her existence.
On Day 255, Xion visits Castle Oblivion and crosses paths with Axel who is on a mission. She learns who she is and escapes the Organization.
On Day 276, Xion decides to visit Destiny Islands again. She is overwhelmed by memories and faints. She is saved by Riku and he tells her of his current condition. He explains to her that his friend Sora needs Xion to return him his memories if he is to ever awaken. She doesn't understand why she has Sora's memories to begin with, causing her to become torn between staying with her friends in the Organization or leaving to merge with Sora as Riku suggests. Xion travels with Riku for several weeks, eventually leaving him to stay at DiZ's base in Castle Oblivion.
On Day 298, Xion is found by Roxas in Twilight Town and he invites her to return "home" with him, but she says she is unable to. Xion tries to flee again, but Roxas stops her, prompting her to point her Keyblade at him. Axel appears and fights Xion, knocking her unconscious, forcibly returning her into the Organization.
On Day 321, Naminé's attempts to restore Sora's memories are soon halted when Xion starts absorbing them faster, causing Roxas to weaken while she becomes stronger, as Xemnas intended. Later, Xion informs Axel of this strange situation and he tells her she could think of an answer to this problem herself. She also tells him she saw a boy today who looks just like Roxas, implying she saw Sora somehow.
On Day 352, after being tricked into fighting Roxas by Saïx at Halloween Town, Xion decides to take Riku's advice and leaves the Organization. The next day, Xion fights Xigbar in Wonderland who perceives her as Ventus and knocks him unconscious. She unhoods in front of Axel who was also on the mission, shocking him, and asks him to let her go, which he agrees to, and she retreats through a Corridor of Darkness. Xion talks to Riku at Beast's Castle, wondering what she should do next, and he implores her to find Naminé in Twilight Town for answers.
On Day 356, Xion meets with Naminé in Twilight Town's Old Mansion in order to learn about her nature and how it affects Roxas. Naminé informs her that she is a replica made from Roxas's memories, rather than a Nobody and that this means that reuniting with Sora will cause her to not only no longer exist, but also be completely forgotten. Xion persists in her commitment, certain that it's where she belongs but is interrupted by DiZ, intruding in the conversation to warn them that they have been located by a member of the Organization. Xion goes to investigate and finds Axel, upset that he has been tasked with retrieving her, and conversely that letting her reunite with Sora as she wants would also result in her termination. Xion explains that she is committed to her path, and asks Axel "Please don't hold back". In response, he promises that he will "always be there to bring [her] back". Axel is able to subdue Xion after an intense battle, and limps back to the castle with her unconscious body in tow, fainting at the entrance. From there, Xemnas drags Xion away to reprogram her using the Organization XIII Devices that he had planted throughout the world.
The next day, Roxas finds Xion at the Twilight Town train station, and after she reveals her altered, Sora-like form to him, she explains that she has been compelled by Xemnas to absorb Roxas and become a "full" Sora, which would, in turn, prevent the real Sora from ever waking. It is explained in her Secret Reports that this is somewhat of a ruse—she knows that Roxas will disappear if she continues to exist, so she plans to force Roxas to absorb her, saving himself and thwarting Xemnas's plan. She then transforms into a monstrous version of Sora using Xemnas's devices, and attacks. During the battle, Roxas and Xion are transported to Wonderland, Halloween Town, and Agrabah, before returning to Twilight Town. In each world, Xion absorbs power from the "devices" that were placed there, which contain memories of Sora's battles in each world.
After a long and grueling battle, Roxas manages to defeat her, while she regains her original appearance in his view. He doesn't seem to recall who she is, though she assures him that he'll be better off now. While Roxas cradles her in his arms, she tells him that she chose to sacrifice herself to slow down Xemnas's plans, asks that he prevent Xemnas from obtaining Kingdom Hearts, and tells him that she is glad that she met him and Axel. As Xion's body crystallizes and disintegrates, Roxas suddenly remembers her name and holds her hand until she disappears completely, leaving behind a single Thalassa Shell.
Though Naminé states that everyone's memories of Xion will vanish as she does, Roxas, Riku, Xemnas, and Saïx manage to retain some memories of her into the next day. By then, Roxas has returned to The World That Never Was in order to set Kingdom Hearts free, which he hopes will reunite him with his lost friend. However, he is being stalked by a swarm of Neoshadow Heartless, as well as a determined Riku, who has arrived to capture Roxas to finish Sora's memory restoration. Riku looks down upon the Nobody as Roxas starts his path up the skyscraper. When Xion's lingering influence makes Roxas throw his Oblivion Keyblade to Riku, she is able to communicate to Riku, begging him to stop Roxas before he can reach Xemnas, because she believes Roxas is not strong enough to face him yet.[1] With the message, Riku receives memories of the time he spent with Xion, shocking him for a moment, but they begin to fade as he reaches the ground.
When Roxas and Riku finish eradicating the Heartless, they turn on each other for a battle. By this time, it is a struggle for Roxas to even remember Xion's name, and all he knows about her is that he wants her back. While Roxas is able to knock Riku down first, Xion then projects her words to Riku, somehow telepathically, to stop Roxas at any cost, and so he does once he removes his blindfold and transforms into Riku-Ansem. Unconscious, Roxas hears Xion talking to him through his mind, telling him not to be sad, as she has become one with him and Sora, and that soon Roxas will also join them. Despite the fact that memories of Xion have been forgotten by everyone, she tells him that she still has her own memories, so she doesn't mind that he has forgotten her, as she won't forget him or Axel. As Riku knocks him out, Roxas's last memories of Xion fade away.
In the Data Castle Oblivion, Data-Naminé reveals to Data-Sora and King Mickey that Xion is one of the people that, while gone, is still connected to Sora's heart. Data-Sora wonders who she is and remarks that she feels familiar and that something terrible must have happened.
After Sora catches up to Naminé in his dream in The World That Never Was, she suddenly transforms into Xion. Xion does not respond to Sora's questions, merely looking at the floor with a look of sadness on her face. Although Sora doesn't recognize her, he suddenly sheds a tear, to his own surprise and confusion. Xion raises her hood and runs off.
After catching up to Xigbar, Sora comments on how Axel, Roxas, Naminé, and "that other girl" all must have had hearts. When Sora reaffirms to Xigbar that his strength comes from his friends, Xigbar sees an image of the many individuals connected to Sora standing behind him, including Xion. Unnerved, Xigbar leaves Sora to Xemnas and leaves.
After Riku dives into Sora's heart and defeats the Armored Ventus Nightmare, he appears on a memory of the Destiny Islands. After meeting Roxas and Ventus, who each ask him a question, Riku finds Xion sitting on the paopu tree. He does not remember her and questions who she is. She then asks him what he wishes, and disappears once he answers.
Saïx found Vexen's notes on replica No. i, sparking his memory of Xion; thus her revival was added to his atonement. While meeting at the Keyblade Graveyard with Master Xehanort, Saïx recommends reviving Xion to serve as Sora's replacement in their ranks.
Xion's heart is brought from the past by Young Xehanort and placed in a replica along with a fragment of Master Xehanort's heart. However, because her heart came from the time before she had a sense of self, Xion has no will to act; she is kept at the Keyblade Graveyard until the final battle.
Lea's subconscious memories of his time with Xion continue to persist as he trains with Kairi, and he often catches himself staring at her because their resemblance stirs his memories of his lost friend.
While traveling in the Gummi Ship, Sora and company are contacted by Ienzo, who informs them Sora has three unique hearts on his own. While they agree that the first two hearts belong to Roxas and Ventus, they are unable to identify Xion as the owner of the third.
On the eve of the final battle, Saïx tracks Lea down at the Clock Tower and points out that Lea has bought an extra ice cream bar for Xion without realizing it.
At the Keyblade Graveyard, Xion accompanies the real Organization when they confront the Guardians of Light and pairs with Saïx to fight Lea and Kairi. Saïx subtly tries jogging Xion's memory by saying Axel and Roxas's names. When Xemnas appears and attempts to kill Lea, Xion intervenes. Stirred by this, Roxas's heart calls out to her via Sora, causing Xion to waver further, eventually leading to the present day version of her heart leaving Sora's to inhabit the replica vessel and displace the past version back to its proper time. Shortly afterward, Xemnas's imperilment of Xion and Sora triggered Roxas's heart to fly to his waiting vessel, allowing him to stop Xemnas from executing her and Lea. Xion, Roxas, and Sora then battle and defeat Saïx.
After Master Xehanort opens Kingdom Hearts, Xion arrives with Lea, Roxas, Ventus, Aqua, and Terra to help King Mickey and Riku hold off its power while Sora sends Master Xehanort to Scala ad Caelum with the intent of keeping him from using Kingdom Hearts. She assures Sora that Kairi would be safe.
However, the Replica Xehanorts, which Sora had just fought, emerge from Kingdom Hearts and pull the Guardians into the sky where they are cornered by them. The guardians manage to triumph over the Replicas but end up getting sucked up into the multiple keyholes created from Kingdom Hearts.
Despite this, future Sora manages to free Xion and the others by connecting their bonds, allowing them to play a part in fully restoring Kairi to normal. Once Sora and Kairi defeat the Armored Xehanort replica, the Guardians of Light all rejoin at the battlefield to finish him off. Everyone aims their Keyblades at Xehanort and fire off a large beam of light that manages to pierce Xehanort, destroying him for good. Once the battle is over, the heroes all travel to where Sora's heart is located, which is Scala ad Caelum.
After Sora, Donald, and Goofy defeat Master Xehanort, Xion and the other Guardians help close Kingdom Hearts and return to the Keyblade Graveyard
In the aftermath, Xion, Roxas, and Lea return to Twilight Town at the clock tower to spend time together once again. Xion also becomes friends with Isa, Olette, Hayner, and Pence once they join the trio on the clock tower.
Riku arrives in the Highwind and takes them to the Destiny Islands for a party celebrating their victory over Xehanort. Xion is shown collecting seashells with Naminé and watches as Kairi shares a moment with Sora before he fades away.
After one year passes by, the Twilight Town crew are revealed to studying Roxas and Xion's memories in hopes of finding the whereabouts of the missing Sora.
They gasped!
Leon: That's horrible! I knew that Master Xehanort was bad but he is worse than ever.
Yuffie: Yeah his plan is just pure evil!
Me: Yeah and we have to kill him or the Universe as we know it will be totally destroyed.
Lincoln: That's right.
Leon: And I knew the members of Organization XIII before they became Nobodies. It's awful that happened to them.
Elena: I know that feeling. I used to be Larxene before Aqua saved me from myself. I can't believe that I would turn into such a sadistic monster.
Lea: And I used to be Axel.
Luxord: I am no longer affiliated with Organization XIII.
Xion: I am not part of the organization after everything they did to me.
Laney: And we all got their weapons to use for ourselves after we defeated them the first time.
Luan: It's true.
Me: Yep and we have half of the Organization XIII members in our frenemies the Masters of Evil. They put up a really good fight.
Lincoln: It's true. They have Larxene, Xaldin, Demyx, Zexion, Vexen and Saïx in their group.
Fluttershy: That is strange but interesting. So we have 6 members of Organization XIII in there.
Me: Yep and we have Lea, Elena, Luxord, Aeleus, Roxas and Xion in our group.
Cid: So half and half.
Xion: Well actually I was never part of Organization XIII to begin with.
Me: It's true. Someday we're going to recruit Isa, Dilan, Ienzo, Lauriam, Even and Ansem into our ranks.
Sora: That's awesome.
Kairi: It sure is.
Yuffie: I hope you all do.
Laney: We will.
Me: Someday. But right now we have to focus on the matter at hand. Our primary objective is to find Kairi's past self and rescue her. And the Heartless will stop at nothing to kill us.
Leon: That's right. You guys are all incredibly strong and you have the power to do many great things. But you must be vigilant at all times.
Me: Right.
Stewie: (to Cid) If you're working on anything, maybe I can help out.
Cid: Thanks Stewie.
I then sensed something.
Me: We've got company!
Suddenly, a Heartless Soldier appeared.
Sora: A Soldier!
Tsuki slashed it and killed the Heartless.
Me: Lets free this place of Heartless.
Nico: Lets do it.
We went outside and we saw many heartless appear!
Me: Blast and Slash them!
We did so and fired blasts of energy and lightning and slashed them all over and smashing them all over. We got a massive negative energy power increase!
Nico: Whoa! Yeah!
Pyrrha: Whoa!
Weiss: That was amazing.
Lola: That's the beauty of a Negative Energy Power Increase.
But then Kaos, Carly, Skinner, Vypra, Calamitous, Zs'Skayr and Xaldin appeared.
Me: Kaos, Carly, Skinner, Vypra, Calamitous, Zs'Skayr and Xaldin.
Nico: Nice to see you all here.
Vypra: Yeah we heard about what you guys were gonna do.
Kaos: It's not my turn so I decided to help you all out.
Nico: Cool.
Maria: You guys know the rules, right?
Carly: Vypra explained them to us.
Xaldin: It's actually weird that I'm showing up here in this adventure.
Vypra: You're actually right. At this point in time, Organization XIII wasn't formed yet.
Me: That's right.
Leon: They must be the Masters of Evil.
Me: That's right. They are our frenemies. But when we face the evil version of Xaldin and all his team in the future that is gonna be one helluva challenge. When the Masters of Evil show up we have usual battles with them and they are an awesome challenge.
Vypra: It's true.
Yuffie: That's cool.
?: Too bad you will die before you do those challenges!
A figure came out and it was VULTURUS from episodes 20 and 21 of Operation Overdrive!
Vulturus is a vulture/dragon-like monster created by Thrax for use in his evil alliance and is the secondary antagonist of the special two-part team up episode "Once a Ranger".
This white vulture/dragon-like monster was summoned by Thrax, supposedly, according to Thrax, he is invincible, or was thought to be. He is grown and sent to attack the past and future Rangers in both the Drivemax Ultazord and the Flashpoint Megazord, it had the upper hand thanks to its sheer power, only to be destroyed/sliced by Mack using the sword Excelsior.
Later he was somehow found weakened but in one piece by the villains. Flurious managed to restore his strength and upgrade him with a Gyro into a more human-like form. The revived Vulturus fought in Thrax's final battle against the eleven rangers where he was destroyed once and for all by the Mercury Ranger's Drive Detector.
Mack Hartford: Vulturus!
Vulturus: (to the Operation Overdrive and Veteran Rangers) I have a score to settle with all 11 of you Rangers. And this time, your powers won't be enough to save you!
Me: I remember you! You were sent to the past to destroy the Past and Future Rangers and kill them to make sure that all the rangers never came into being!
Nico: That is insane!
Me: He is one of the monsters I hate in the franchise!
I fired an energy blast and it hit Vulturus and obliterated him in an incredible fiery explosion!
KRABBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Nico: Vulturus you have failed this universe!
Me: Absolutely!
Vypra: I never liked him either.
Me: Yeah. We also decided to include combos with each of the Skylanders in each of the usual battles to make them exciting. First up is the Dark Skylanders
Knight Mare: But there's only six of us so that will only cover 3 groups.
Eye Scream: And me and Fisticuffs will only cover 1 group.
Fisticuffs: So technically that's 4 groups.
Me: Don't worry. Me and Kaos have already thought of that.
Kaos: Watch.
Me and Kaos used the powers of Imaginite and made a Bowslinger and Bazooker Class Doomlander and I made a Dark Knight Skylander named Moondark and a Dark Sorcerer Skylander named Moongem! They looked like Sirocco but with pitch black clothes and wings and black weapons and they had dark powers.
Kaos made a Doomlander with a Skull Bazooka and she had a wicked cool helmet and armor and he also made a warrior with armor and glowing yellow eyes and he had a scary bone bow.
Kaos: Meet my Bowslinger and Bazooker Doomlanders!
Me: Nice! Meet Moondark and Moongem.
Moondark: Hello there.
Moongem: Nice to meet you.
Lori: Same here.
Me: Lets get our usual battles out of the way and then we can go after the Boss Heartless here.

Battle 3: Vypra
Luan, Hood Sickle, William, Nightshade, and Shego were facing Vypra.
Vypra: Clever thinking coming up with making your own Skylanders for this.
Luan: J.D. saw Twilight Sparkle do it and he figured why not make his own Skylanders for the groups that have very few Skylanders like Light and Dark.
Hood Sickle: It was a very good way to improvise.

Eye Scream: I agree. This was fun.
Battle 5: Zs'Skayr
Edd, Bowslinger Doomlander, Soundwave, Bazooker Doomlander and Shockwave were facing Zs'Skayr.

Beast Boy: Good victory.
All the usual battles were done.
Astro Man: Now that the usual battles are done, we should start exploring Traverse Town.
Me: Good idea.
Carly Carmine: This is a good place to check out.
Me: It sure is. Wait Sora, I remember that this is also the place where Pongo and Perdita and all 99 of their puppies from 101 Dalmatians live. Looks like we have to search for all 99 puppies throughout this whole adventure.
Sora: We sure do.
Nico: Wow. That's gonna be like finding 99 needles in a haystack.
Naruto: Yeah but we can do it.
Me: Lets go.
We walked around the whole of Traverse Town and we were destroying Heartless as we walked and gaining strength and power and we were also finding treasure and we found 12 Dalmation Puppies for the world of Traverse Town.
Me: That's 12 out of 99 so we have 87 more to find.
Sora: Wow.
Laney: Really good start.
Carly Carmine: Yep.
We walked around some more and we got to the main square and then more heartless came and we blew them apart!
Me: This is getting too easy.
Then a massive armor suit fell and put itself together and it was THE GUARD ARMOR!
The Guard Armor is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts coded, and all of their remakes. It is one of the bosses at Traverse Town and Olympus Coliseum.
The various pieces of the Guard Armor, known as "Armored Torso", "Gauntlets", and "Hammerlegs", are able to move independently, and by rearranging its pieces, the Guard Armor can transform into the more powerful Opposite Armor.
The Guard Armor's body is divided into several pieces—a body, a head, two arms, and two legs—none of which are directly connected to each other and all of which can act independently of the other. The Armored Torso is vaguely hour glass-shaped, violet with a lilac, diamond pattern around its waist, and has light black additives on it. The Heartless emblem is emblazoned on the center of the armor. Its head is violet, spherical, and sports three silver spikes and a silver faceplate with several holes in it. Both of the Gauntlets are violet with wide wrists and three lilac, segmented fingers. The Hammerlegs are short, violet, and ends in large, hammer-like, black feet. All of the pieces of the Guard Armor seem to be hollow.
In Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, the violet sections of the Guard Armor are silver, its torso gains red, yellow, and blue stripes on its upper half, its head becomes red with yellow spikes, and the additives on its top and upper rims become blue and yellow, respectively. Its fingers become grey, while its feet become red.
The Guard Armor's name references its armored body and the fact that it first protects the Heartless in Traverse Town, and later guards the Traverse Town Keyhole.
Me: Whoa!
Sora: The Guard Armor!
Blizzard Man: I know the Heartless can't talk. But I think I know what the Guard Armor plans to do to us!
Me: Kill us! Lets get him!
Troy: Let's take out the body parts. And then, deal with the body!
Megaforce Rangers: Legendary Ranger Mode: Dino Charge!
The Megaforce Rangers turned into the Dino Charge rangers!
We summoned our Keyblades and went at him and we slashed, blasted and burned and destroyed him all over the place. We blasted him all over with powerful blasts of energy and our weapons and more. Tassanil, Crawsectus, Qwun, Arrthoa, Gintanai, and Nom blasted it all over with blasts of energy and fire and smashed him all over the place.

We fired powerful elemental blasts and they formed into angels and birds of many types and they slammed into the Guard Armor and knocked it down in a huge explosion!
KRABBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
The explosion scattered its pieces all over the place.
Me: That was too easy.
But our victory was short lived as the pieces were moving.
Starlight Glimmer: The Guard Armor still isn't down?!
Me: Uh oh.
The pieces reformed and the Guard Armor transformed into the more powerful and much bigger OPPOSITE ARMOR!
Sora: Oh yeah. I forgot about the Opposite Armor.

When the smoke cleared, all that was left of the Opposite Armor was his chest and head.
Me: Final Smash time!
Starlight Glimmer: This is gonna be awesome! I have a new sword to try out.
Starlight Glimmer unsheathed her awesome new sword and it was called Valine - A celestial sword that is made with the powers of a pulsating nebula.
Nicole: Whoa! That is an awesome sword Starlight.
Starlight Glimmer: Thanks Nicole. Watch this. STARLIGHT NEBULA SLASH!
She slashed the Opposite Armor and it caused a massive wave of stars to explode out from the gash in the chest plate and it cracked.
Sora: Nice one! Mom you want to help out?
Tsuki: Lets do it son.
Sora and Tsuki: PYROCUMULOUS THUNDERSTORM BLAST!
They fired waves of fire and lightning and they formed into a deadly pyrocumulous cloud that rained down numerous lightning strikes on the Opposite Armor and blew it apart in powerful explosions.
All that was left of it was its head.
Eli: I'll finish it off. LIGHT ANGEL STYLE NINJA ART: DIEM EX DEI!
Eli floated into the air and he spread his light angel wings as a curtain of light swirled around him and he sang Diem Ex Dei by Globus.
Umbra Dextras, Prima Orbis
Templa Prospice, Diem Ex Dei
Fides Sponsa, Fides Per Dei
Missaes Can Ta, Mistrae Lingua
Umbra Dextras, Umbra Crucis
Umbra Deus, Lucius Dei
Fides Sponsa, Fides Per Dei

Christus Laudmus, Mistraes In God
He fired the blasts of light and they formed into the Angels of God and they slammed into the head of Opposite Armor and obliterated it into nothing and we got a massive and powerful power boost as a result.
Elsewhere on another world, a familiar force felt this incredible power and he knew that Eli was there. His eyes were glowing red with incredible hatred and evil!
?: Eli!
Back in Traverse Town we had won.
Me: Wow! That was awesome!
Sora then gasped and he went into his subconscious. He saw the past version of himself that he merged with.
Young Sora: You are me from the future!
Sora: That's right. And you have an amazing future ahead of you Sora.
Young Sora: So I know more about the Keyblade and all that?
Sora: Yep. You are a great warrior and you have a powerful light inside you that brought so many worlds and a lot of people together.
Sora told him about everything that happened to him on his awesome adventures and more and Young Sora was shocked and surprised and more.
Young Sora: So I'm married to Kairi!? That's so cool!
Sora: Yep. It's a great life.
Young Sora: Wow! I'm so happy.
Sora: Me too. You are a light for all the worlds and you can do great things with me and all your friends.
Young Sora: I will do my best to help you all.
Sora: That's the spirit. As long as our hearts are united as one we can do anything.
Sora was back.
Me: This was an epic battle. But the adventure has just begun.
Nico: Yep.
Yuffie: You guys are awesome at what you do.
Skinner: (to Leon) I think you and your friends should go with us to the other worlds out there.
Leon: I'm sorry. But that's against the world order.
Calamitous: What world order? It's pretty much dead now.
Zs'Skayr: If the 6 of us can be in this world of our own accord, so can all of you.
Me: That's right and I did some research on it and found out that the so-called World Order is nothing but a crock of absolute bullshit. With Xehanort and his minions and the heartless posing as a tremendous threat to the entire universe in general we're gonna need all the help we can get to take them down in the future and make them pay for all their crimes.
Leon: You do have a point. All right then we'll help you all out.
Nico: Awesome.
Me: This is just the beginning however.
Sora: Yep.
Me: Lets take a break and continue on to the next world later.
Nico: Good idea.
We went back home for a rest.
Sora: (To the Viewers) Exploring worlds is fun but this is just the beginning of our awesome adventure in the worlds we went to in my adventure.
Me: It sure is. Next up is Wonderland and we're going to face the evil Queen of Hearts next.
Alice Liddell: (British Accent) It's gonna be awesome seeing Alice again.
Me: Yep.
We rested. The Ultimate Adventure of Sora had just begun.
To Be Continued...
Part 1 of the Kingdom Hearts 1 Saga done.
NicoChan11, JediAvatarOfShinobi, Omegahatchiyak12, XP4Universe and ninjakingofhearts gave me the ideas for this. Thanks guys. Next up for part 2 is where we journey through the awesome world of Alice In Wonderland from 1951 and that is gonna be awesome as we journey through the world of Wonderland and see what Alice went through and there is gonna be a surprise twist to the adventure.
See you all tomorrow.
