Scala ad Caelum


Me, Katie Duval and Brittney were on an amazing spaceship and it was full of high tech equipment and it was amazing.

Me: Wow look at this ship. But it's very familiar to me somehow.

Brittney: Same here.

Katie Duval: I have a feeling we're about to meet an evil alien.

Katie concentrated and groaned as a worm like glowing lure emerged from her forehead.

Me: I have that same feeling too but this world looks very familiar.

She turned into Lightslash!

Me: YEAH!

Brittney: I've got a really bad feeling about this. I sense something evil here.

Me: I feel it too.

Then we heard a scream and we went into a room and we saw a woman sucking a man's blood out from his neck!

Me: Vampire!

She looked at us and I recognized her.

Me: Wait a minute! Now I know where I've seen this world before! This is the world of the 1966 movie Queen of Blood!

Brittney: That's one of my favorite movies! This vampire alien is not getting anymore blood!

The alien looked at me with her hypnotic trance and I looked at her with my glowing red eyes.

Me: You wouldn't want to taste my blood. It's poisonous and will kill you in an instant.

Brittney: And another thing, I am a true vampire.

Brittney had her fangs revealed and then she punched the alien in her face and kicked her in the stomach.

Then we saw a snake girl appear and it was a Melusine!

Me: Whoa she's a Melusine!

Lightslash: Wow!

And with her was a Dragonair.

Me: And she has a Dragonair with her. Lets help her out.

We fired blasts of fire and energy and blew the Alien Vampire Queen into dust.

Me: (Blows smoke) That's that.

Ena: Yeah it does. Wow you're J.D. Knudson, leader of Team Loud Phoenix Storm!

Me: That's right.

Ena: I'm Ena and yes I'm a Melusine.

Dragonair: I'm Bonnie Terrez and yes I'm a Dragonair. I was made this way by the Team Rocket Scientists so that Team Rocket can try to take over the world.

Me: Pleasure to mett you both.

Brittney: I'm Brittney Knudson and J.D. is my dad.

Lightslash: I'm Katie Duval and I'm a Dragonfish Gene-Slammer.

Ena: It's a pleasure.

Me: Bonnie how would you like to change into a Dragonair at will and use the powers of said Pokemon?

Dragonair: That would be awesome!

Me: Dragonair has a mystical power that can control the weather.

Dragonair: That is cool!

Me: It sure is. Ready? It's gonna hurt?

I put on my blind man glasses.

Dragonair: I'm ready.

Me: Here we go. (Snaps fingers)

Bonnie reverted back to human and she had blue hair with white highlights in it and she had a blue necklace in the shape of Dragonair's neck orb and she was naked. Katie reverted back too.

Katie Duval was human again. But topless.

Katie Duval: (covers her boobs) Thank God that vampire is dead!

Ena: Yeah no kidding. What she was doing ever since those astronauts found her was murder.

Bonnie T.: (Covers herself) No kidding. Can I have some clothes please?

Brittney gave her some clothes.

Brittney: I only wear clothes that are black. I am a goth girl after all.

Bonnie T.: That's all right. I'm a goth too.

Brittney: Always good to meet a fellow goth.

I gave Katie a new shirt.

Katie Duval: Thanks J.D.

Me: You're welcome.

Brittney: Bonnie, I'm also the leader of the Goths of Darkness and we are known as the Masters of The Night.

Bonnie: Awesome! And I love vampires and all things horror.

Brittney: You're gonna be a perfect member for the Goths of Darkness.

Ena: She sure is.

Me: Lets head home.

We went back home and Miia was reunited with Ena. After that rescue, Lincoln, me, Nico, Lola Loud, The Mane 9, Bugs Bunny, Lola Bunny, Wile E Coyote, Roadrunner, Foghorn Leghorn, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Pepe Le Pew, Sylvester, Tweety, Taz, Elmer Fudd, Ace Bunny, Lexi Bunny, Danger Duck, Rev Runner, Tech E Coyote, Slam Tasmanian, Zadavia, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot were heading down to Acme Acres to meet Buster Bunny, Babs Bunny, Plucky Duck, Fifi La Fume, Fowlmouth, Shirley the Loon, Dizzy Devil, Hampton Pig, Sweetie, Lil Beeper, Calamity Coyote, Gogo Dodo, and Furrball. With us was Vypra, and Gnatu had a surprise in her safe for Buster Bunny and his pals, once she gets to Acme Acres. We found out Lincoln had a talk with The Looney Tunes and The Loonatics, and he had an awesome idea to recruit Buster Bunny and his friends into the team.

Me: It'll be great to head to Acme Acres to see how it's doing now that Montana Max and Elmyra Duff are in prison for good, and Lincoln, that was a great idea you had to recruit Buster Bunny and his friends. We'll be needing to recruit a lot of help with the final battle coming tomorrow.

Lincoln: You said it, J.D., and it'll also be awesome having Ace and the others meet their ancestors' students.

Ace Bunny: You said it, Lincoln. Bugs told me about Buster, and that he taught him everything that he knows

Tech E Coyote: Plus, we'll be recruiting more people to join Team Loud Phoenix Storm and The Masters of Evil tomorrow, and as added bonus, me, Wile, and Calamity will help you and your group when you face Evil Larxene in The Keyblade Graveyard.

Nico: That's right, and Xehanort's going to pay for what he's done.

Vypra: And I'm glad that I'm not even going to recruit Montana Max. After what Leonard Snart told me of what that spoiled brat did in getting Buster Bunny expelled, that proves what kind of a lowlife stinker he really is.

Bugs Bunny and Ace Bunny: You said it, Vypra. What a stinker!

Nico: I'd heard of what you did in getting Montana Max arrested after he was expelled, along with Elmyra Duff. From what I saw in Tiny Toon Adventures, she's committed a lot of animal abuse, and thanks to Buster showing Elmyra's mind, which shows she has no brain, and will never learn the difference between right and wrong.

Me: Yep, and her animal abuse had gotten her named by Buster and his friends as "The Terror of Animals."

Yakko: And Dr. Scratchnsniff also brought Elmyra in, when we were in his room for our appointment, and when we saw her, we screamed our heads off, and tried everything to lose her.

Lincoln: Yeah, I remember that all too well.

Me: So do I, big guy.

The team arrives in Acme Acres in Missouri, and right in front of the entrance to Acme Looniversity, the place where Bugs Bunny and his friends teach the next generation of toons, The Tiny Toons.

Me: Ah, Acme Looniversity, the institute of higher toon degree. Just like I remembered it when I first watched Tiny Toon Adventures long ago.

Bugs Bunny: It's good to be back, doc. Now, where's Buster and the others? They should be here by now.

Suddenly, they see something coming, and right out of the rabbit hole came out Buster Bunny and Babs Bunny, and right on cue, Hampton Pig, Furrball, Plucky Duck, Sweetie, Fifi La Fume, Shirley the Loon, Dizzy Devil, Hampton Pig, Sweetie, Lil Beeper, and Calamity Coyote.

Buster Bunny: You called, Bugs?

Babs Bunny: (dramatically) Ask and we shall appear.

Then, the Tiny Toons did tons of Looney Tunes style wild takes when they saw the team here.

Buster Bunny: Oh man, Team Loud Phoenix Storm and your descendants, The Loonatics?! They're here!

Shirley the Loon: Like, I knew my aura went off when I sensed something powerful heading here.

Me: (laughs) That's right, Buster, and we've been wanting to meet you for a long time, after all, we met Fifi La Fume and Pepe Le Pew.

Fifi La Fume: (French Accent) And it's good to see you all again, J.D.

Me: You too, Fifi.

Buster Bunny: And it's an awesome honor to meet you too, J.D., and we can't thank you guys enough for what you did in getting Monty and Elmyra arrested five years ago.

Plucky Duck: You said it, Buster. Those two had it coming for a long time.

Me: Plus, we also arrested Rocky and Muggsy, when they mugged Leni's friends, Jackie and Mandee.

Babs Bunny: Yeah, we heard about that one, those gangsters are nothing but thugs who care for one thing: money.

Buster Bunny: And it's so awesome to meet the descendants of our mentors and the heroes of Acmetropolis.

Ace Bunny: You too, Buster.

Lincoln: And you guys also have a lot in common, Ace. For example, Tech, Wile, and Calamity are awesome geniuses with a talent for building gadgets, you, Buster, and Bugs outsmart villains who have brains of tapioca pudding, Babs, Lola Bunny, and Lexi are awesome athletes, Taz, Slam, and Dizzy are big-hearted guys with iron stomachs and strong jaws, Danger Duck, Daffy, and Plucky drive villains off the walls, and Roadrunner, Rev Runner, and Lil Beeper are speed demons of the road and the desert.

Me: That was an interesting comparison, buddy.

Zadavia: But, you're right, Lincoln, I've seen the link between the Looney Tunes, the Tiny Toons, and the Loonatics.

Nico: Yeah, plus, this was Lincoln's idea to come here to meet and recruit you guys. You see, tomorrow, we're going to war against Xehanort.

The toons gasped in horror at the mere mention of Xehanort.

Buster Bunny: Xehanort, that delusional Keyblader who wants to destroy the universe, and remake it in his image?!

Ace Bunny: The very one, Buster.

Tech E Coyote: Sora told us everything about Xehanort, and Terra, Aqua, and Ventus knew him long ago long before the events of Sora's journey to save the universe, and we're not going to let that bastard live for what he's done.

Wile E Coyote: You said it, Tech.

The team, except for J.D., Lincoln, The Looney Tunes, and Tiny Toons gasped in shock, after hearing Wile E Coyote speak for the first time.

Vypra: Wile E Coyote, did you just...?

Wile E Coyote: Yes, Vypra, you see, I can talk, but it only happens whenever I'm chasing after Bugs Bunny.

Lincoln: I remembered that all too well in Operation: Rabbit.

Then, Gnatu had arrived in Acme Acres.

Me: Gnatu, you're here.

Gnatu: Yep, and it's an honor to meet the next generation of Looney Tunes.

Buster Bunny: You too, Gnatu.

Gnatu: (holding a heavy safe) Ugh, this safe sure is heavy.

Nico: I'd better open that up.

Nico cracks open the safe, and inside were a bunch of swords.

Nico: Whoa, look at these swords.

Gnatu: Yeah, they're for Buster Bunny and his friends, they're known as The Swords of The Next Generation of Looney Tunes.

The Swords of The Next Generation of Looney Tunes are like The Swords of The Legendary Looney Tunes in appearance, but the silhouettes etched on the 6'0" massive, double-edged golden blades are the silhouettes of Buster Bunny, Babs Bunny, Calamity Coyote, Plucky Duck, Hampton Pig, Fifi La Fume, Dizzy Devil, Lil' Beeper, Fowlmouth, Shirley the Loon, Gogo Dodo, Furrball, and Sweetie, and they'll have the same items that their mentors are associated with etched on the blades too, except for Shirley The Loon, her item is a crystal ball, because she has amazing psychic powers and abilities and Gogo Dodo, his item associated with him is usually a mallet, and if you remember from the opening of Tiny Toon Adventures, Gogo hit himself on the head with a mallet and split himself into smaller dodos. The Looney Tunes rings and golden angel wings for the swords' crossguards will remain the same, along with the long black handles, and the golden large sphere pommels, but the surrounding gems around the pommels will match the colors of their fur, and only they can wield these weapons, and once they're in their hands, they'll gain a massive power and energy increase, along with their toon powers and abilities, as well, and get sleeveless trenchcoats matching their outfits, and angel wings matching their fur.

Nico: Awesome.

Nico teleported back to the Tiny Toons and he gave them their new swords. They gained a massive power and energy increase, and they got Tiny Toons-themed sleeveless trenchcoats and angel wings matching their fur and feathers, their shirts now have gold phoenixes on them, black pants, and large black combat boots.

Buster Bunny: Wow, this is awesome!

The team heads on home to the World Tree Estate.

Furrball: Wow, so this is The World Tree Estate.

Lincoln: Yep, this is the headquarters of Team Loud Phoenix Storm, and our home.

The team heads inside, and when Lori saw them, she alerted everyone.

Lana: Wow, The Tiny Toons are here?!

Qin: Our eyes aren't playing tricks, Lana, it's definitely them.

Buster Bunny: That's right, everyone, and we're now new members of the team, and we'll help you all in the war against Xehanort, and this was thanks to Lincoln's idea for discussing it with our mentors and The Loonatics.

The team cheered at the news, and they saw they got new weapons from Gnatu.

Plucky Duck: Hey, I also heard that you guys have also been going after the old enemies of The Z-Fighters.

Nico: You got that right, so far, we've dealt with The Ginyu Force, and J.D. not only rescued Android 17, he also Super Hakaied Dr. Gero, and in the world of Spyro, he also destroyed the soldiers of The Red Ribbon Army.

The Tiny Toons did wild takes when Nico told them about that.

Buster Bunny: I never liked that mad lunatic, Gero, and I'm glad J.D. Super Hakaied him, and that means Goku is no longer in his crosshairs for revenge, and he also got rid of the soldiers of The Red Ribbon Army.

Babs Bunny: And you guys got rid of Frieza's hired mercenaries, never did like those creeps.

Vegeta: No one ever did.

King Kai came into the conversation, and the toons got their chance to meet him.

King Kai: And that's just the start, Babs. We told J.D. that someone had opened a portal to Hell, and let out the old enemies of The Z-Fighters.

The toons were horrified at the news.

Buster Bunny: What?! So, some ignoramus has opened up a portal, and let those maniacs out?! When I get my hands on the sicko, he's going to get it.

Hampton Pig: But, you don't know who it was that opened that portal, and let them out, do you, King Kai?

King Kai: Not yet, but we've launched an investigation into this matter.

Buster Bunny: We'll probably be bound to run into some of them, including the only two Saiyans who still serve underneath Frieza.

The Saiyans and the Z-Fighters knew exactly the two Saiyans that Buster Bunny was speaking about.

King Vegeta: You spoke of Raditz and Nappa, and you're right, Buster. If we see them, then, we'll be sure to stop them.

Lincoln also told Buster Bunny and his friends that after the war with The Doomsday 23, J.D. brought back all of the Saiyans that Frieza killed, but Goku's father, Bardock, wasn't among them, and that was indeed something that brought a smile to their faces. They knew the Saiyans were led down a dark path, because of being lied to by Frieza.

Buster Bunny: Yes, you're right, your majesty, and if we see them, we're going to fight them, and Goku, if we find your father, Bardock, we'll be sure to set up a reunion between you and Gine. If the Aparoids brought him back, I'll personally destroy the Aparoids and save your father.

Nico: I like that spirit, Buster.

Me: Awesome.


We then got to ready for some training.

Nico: J.D. I'm gonna go training with some friends.

Me: Okay Nico. I have a feeling you are gonna go to the Aligned Transformers world to train right?

Nico: Look, J.D. You and the others can train in that time chamber if you want. Me? I'm gonna train a different way. (telepathically) If you get what I'm saying.

Me: (Telepathically to Nico) I get ya but okay. Just be careful. Also it is your turn to lead just so you know.

Nico: Actually it's your turn again. It's August 1st.

Me: Oh right. Jeez I didn't expect it to work like that. Silly me.

Nico went through a portal to the Aligned Transformers World.

Me: (Out Loud) All right lets head to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to train.

Varie: Got it.

We went to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Nico arrived in the world of the RID Transformers.

Nico: Hey guys!

Aligned Jazz: Hey, Nico. Didn't expect you to visit already.

Nico: Well, I came here because I'd like you guys to train me.

Aligned Wheeljack: Any reason why?

Nico: The war against Xehanort is tomorrow.

Fixit: Oh my!

Nico: And I'm going to lead that day.

Raf: I can see why you want us to train you.

Nico: Yep.

RID Optimus Prime: We'll gladly help you out.

RID Ultra Magnus: Lets get to work.

Nico: Lets do it!

Aligned Ultra Magnus: I'll warn you right now, Nico. The training you're going to go through will be very intense.

Aligned Optimus: It won't be easy. Your body will be pushed to its' limits.

Aligned Bumblebee: You sure you're up for it?

Nico: My answer: BRING! IT! ON!

Aligned: That's the spirit!

Aligned Ultra Magnus: Lets do it!

Nico got to work in his training with the Aligned Transformers and they were running him into the ground with incredible training regimens and more.

Aligned Bumblebee: Fixit. Show Nico the obstacle course.

Fixit: You got it.

He showed the obstacle course and it was one crazy and dangerous course!

Nico: Whoa! What a course!

Aligned Bumblebee: What do you think?

Nico: Just as dangerous as the obstacle course that we use back home.

Aligned Ultra Magnus: All right lets do it!

Nico got to work on the Obstacle Course and he was dominating it and more.

Jack Darby: Nothing like lemonade in the summer.

Russel: You said it.

Raf: Too bad Bee and the others can't enjoy lemonade.

Miko: Quick question: How long has Nico been training now?

Aligned Bumblebee: He has been going at it for 12 hours. He sure has a lot of energy for someone so powerful.

Jack Darby: No kidding. Wow! He is taking everything you guys throw at him with great ease.

Miko: Wow!

Nico was done after 16 hours of brutal training.

Aligned Bumblebee: Alright. Looks like you're ready.

Nico: I sure am. That was amazing!

RID Optimus Prime: I have never seen anyone work or train as hard as you Nico. You are definitely ready.

Later we were in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber training hard. We were training for 16 hours non-stop and it was intensely powerful. Maria and everyone else were waiting for us and Nico to get back.

Maria: You think Nico's doing okay there?

William: Come on, babe. This is Nico we're talking about. I'm sure he's fine.

May: Well, he better come back soon or else, the cat's gonna be out of the bag.

Nico: Someone call?

Nico came back and his clothes were REALLY shredded and torn up. But his muscles were amazing and more stronger.

May: WHOA! You look amazing.

The door to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber opened and me and the Loud Kids all came out and we were amazingly stronger and more powerful than ever. But our clothes were all torn up and our muscles were bigger than ever too. Our hair was longer too.

Me: Man that was intense.

Lori: Yeah but man I literally look amazing.

Lily: Me too.

Nico: Wow! You guys look awesome!

Me: Thanks Nico. How was your training?

Nico: Great! It was brutal. (Stomach Growls) Man I need to get something into my stomach.

Me: After over half a day of training you don't have to tell me twice. First lets shower and then we'll get some grub.

Nico: Good idea.

We walked to the showers.

Lugnut: (makes sure no one is listening) How was training, my liege?

Nico: Pretty good. I aced that obstacle course perfectly!

Squidward: I'm just glad you got back before the others found out you were gone.

Nico: I do have a habit of doing that.

Me: But great job Nico.

Nico: Thanks man.

We went into the showers and came out and then we went to Lynn's Table and we had Ulti-Meatum Burgers and Nergal's pizza. And Nico was having Chicken Wings too.

Later on the way back home we then saw what looked like Yamato of the Zyuohger Rangers.

Keiichiro: Yamato, good to see you again.

Kairi Yano: (sees the newcomer's color) Um, Kei-Chan? I don't think that's Yamato.

Right: How do you know?

Kagura: He's right. The costume of this one is colored orange.

William: (Aims blaster at newcomer) Whoever you are, demorph now or we will kill you!

He did so and we saw that it was a man with bird tail feathers and he had silver hair and he turned and I recognized him.

Me: Wait a second. You're Bud the Orange Zyuohger Ranger!

Bud: That's right and it is an honor to meet you Team Loud Phoenix Storm.

Me: Same to you. We met the Zyuohger Rangers when they helped us earlier and they also had Misao the Zyuoh World Ranger with them.

Bud: I heard. Also thank you all for helping my friends earlier J.D.

Me: You're welcome.

Back at the World Tree Estate, we were talking with Bud and he was really amazing.

Lucy: How are things in Zyuland?

Bud: Very good, actually. Genis met his end in 2017. Since then, Zyuland has been very peaceful.

Me: That's good that Genis will never terrorize the planet again. But if he does come back he's getting a one way trip to the Warp.

Nico: Yeah and the Saiyans beat Genis years ago. That was a big adventure.

Vegeta: It's true. The Saiyans beat Genis a long time ago while we were still under the rule of Frieza and we destroyed his entire planet.

Nico: Well that's a good thing that the Saiyans did. Genis posed a horrible threat to the planet and to Zyuland.

Bud: Yeah. But after Genis was defeated, Zyuland merged with Tokyo.

We gasped in shock.

Me: WHOA! I got to see this.

I pulled up the camera of Tokyo on the computer and what we saw was amazing and shocking! Zyuland and Tokyo, Japan were now one!

Me: WHOA!

Nico: Oh wow! Just like what happened on TV.

Laney: That is incredible!

Eli: Wow! This is amazing!

Me: When we see the Zyuohger Rangers again, this is gonna be amazing to see.

Eli: It sure will be.

Ets: I can't wait to see meet the Zyuohger Rangers again.

Nunnally: Me too. They were cool.

Dirtbag: So, what brings you to the Estate?

Bud: Yamato sent me to join you all and represent the Zyuoghers until you meet him and the others. An ambassador if you will. And in light of what will happen tomorrow, my timing couldn't be perfect.

Me: That's a good idea to send you as an ambassador and on August 29th we're going to see your friends again.

Bud: It sure is. And J.D. I heard from Yamato that you are also a Zyuohger Ranger.

Me: That's right but I got my Zyuoh powers from an alternate source. I got my powers from the Dream World.

Nicole: Really awesome story behind that. In the Dream World anything can happen.

Lana: It sure can.

Grapple: Is there any personal reason why you want to join us?

Bud: (sighs) Well, as you know, each Ranger and Sentai team usually have 6 members each. And Misao is the 6th Zyuogher. I guess you can say that I feel left out.

Me: Don't say that Bud. You helped Yamato become the ZyuohEagle Ranger and you also saved his life and that makes you a true hero. Sure you did wrong but it was all for a very good reason.

Nico: Yeah that's right. You had your reasons for doing what you did. And shows that you have the heart of a hero.

Laney: And you have a good soul.

Lana: Yeah.

Me: When we met the Zyuohger Rangers the 1st time they were awesome and they were very brave and giving to many people that we saw on TV. You have the very same qualities as they do. (Pulls out Zyuohger Morpher) Just like me and all my friends.

Twilight Sparkle: That's right. You have a tremendous responsibility to the Zyuohger Rangers now just like we have a huge responsibility to everything.

Sunset Shimmer: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.

Me: And there will always be challenges as a hero to the world. Just like there are many challenges as a Power Ranger. For over 46 years there have been many enemies that they have faced. And they made many friends as well. Just like you have made with Yamato and his team.

Bud: Wow.

Nico: Yeah and also thanks to the Zyuohger Rangers they brought two worlds together and they can have the Zyuland inhabitants and humans coexist with one another.

Dan Kuso: Just like we brought 4 worlds together.

Me: And we brought many worlds together.

Bud: Wow. That's incredible.

Me: It sure is. Not to brag but we have done so many things all over the universe.

Natilee and Lisa then came down and Lisa was crying.

Stewie: (to Lisa) Oh God. You had a nightmare, didn't you?

Lisa: (Sniffles) I sure did and normally I don't show emotions like this but… (Bursts into tears)

Laney hugged her.

Me: What was her nightmare about?

Natilee: It was the scariest one of them all.

She showed us what she dreamt on her sketch pad and we saw that it was the entire universe being destroyed and the only thing left was nothing but a pitch black void of darkness and then terrifying glowing evil red eyes appeared and they were the only thing that was seen there as if evil finally won.

We gasped in shock!

Me: WHOA MAN!

Nico: That is scary.

Me: I think this one might have been a vision into the future. It's what will happen if Xehanort wins.

Laney: That's horrible!

Nico: No kidding.

Pounce: Believe it or not, J.D., it actually is your turn to lead again.

Me: I know. Yesterday was July 31st and now it's August 1st so I get to lead twice in a row. Same thing is gonna happen twice at the end of this month.

Nico: Crazy huh?

Me: Yeah. I'll have to get used to it.

Eli: But you can do it.

Bud: What did you mean by that?

Me: It's a new leadership system we made. Long story. But today's mission is gonna be an interesting one. We're gonna go to a world we never have seen before after we have our usual battles.

Nico: Why are we having them now?

Me: I sense that we're going to meet a powerful enemy at this world and it's gonna be a brutal battle. So I want to get our usual battles out of the way before we go.

Nico: Ah. Good point.

Me: Maria call them in.

Maria: Right!

Rojo, Robo Roxy, Robo Blaze, Mojo Jojo, Touch & Go, Titanium Man, Brass Knuckles, Titanium Toenail, Iron Lung and Cluemaster then appeared.

Rojo: The others are on their way. But after the battles, can me, Robo Roxy, Robo Blaze, Mojo Jojo, Touch & Go, Titanium Man, Brass Knuckles, Titanium Toenail, Iron Lung and Cluemaster go with you guys?

Me: You all sure can. And it's my turn to lead again.

Titanium Man: (Russian Accent) Thought it was Nico's turn.

Me: No it's my turn again. I lead on the odd days and Nico has the even days.

Titanium Man: Oh right it's August 1st sorry.

Me: No worries.

Robo Roxy: Is that another one of the Zyuohger Rangers?

Me: Yep.

Bud: My name is Bud and I'm the Orange Bird Zyuohger.

Me: Yamato sent him as an ambassador till we meet them officially on August 29th.

Brass Knuckles: Interesting.

Iron Lung: Cool.

Robo Blaze: Are the Kyurangers gonna send an ambassador too?

Me: I don't think so but that would be so cool if they did.

Laney: It sure would.

Then Black Spider, Mole Man, Biowulf, Pinky & The Brain, King Shark, Turtle, Unicorn, Skalamander, Doctor Octopus and Ssserpent appeared.

Me: Black Spider, Mole Man, Biowulf, Pinky & The Brain, King Shark, Turtle, Unicorn, Skalamander, Doctor Octopus and Ssserpent. Glad you all could make it.

Black Spider: I hope you're fine with doing the usual battles before the mission.

William: Of course we are.

Me: I am fine with it too.

Mole Man: Good. The last thing we need is for you guys to have them while you're battling this powerful enemy.

Unicorn: I still wonder what world you'll be going to.

Me: It's a really big mystery.

King Shark: (to me) By the way, we heard you killed a vampire alien.

Me: Not just any vampire alien. It was the vampire alien queen from the 1966 movie Queen of Blood.

Brittney: It was a really freaky movie. One of my favorites.

Skalamander: Were you careful not to get bitten?

Me: She wouldn't have liked my blood anyway. It's poisonous.

Biowulf: That's a relief.

Me: Yeah.

We then saw a drill machine and coming on it was another one of Mojo's minions: KILLA DRILLA!

Jared: Killa Drilla!

Killa Drilla: Been a while hasn't it.

Nico: Wow! Mojo how many minions did you make back then?

Mojo Jojo: Too many for me to even count.

Eli: No kidding.

Norm then appeared.

Kiki the Marsupilami Girl: Norm! Man you got into the M.O.E. too?

Norm: I sure did.

Ena: I'll face Killa Drilla.

Kiki: And it looks like me and Marsupilami have Norm.

Marsupilami: Hooba! This is gonna be sweet!

?: It sure is.

Cat O'Clock then appeared.

Me: Cat O'Clock. Back for round 2 I see.

Cat O'Clock: Yep.

Me: Sweet.

Cat O Clock: Believe it or not, I actually found my archenemy, who's a cat like me.

Cheetah: You mean me right?

Cat O Clock: Yep and it's gonna be awesome!

Nico: Sweet!

Me: Lets head to the Gym.

We did so and got ready and the Usual battles got underway.


Battle 1: Jenny Wakeman, Princess Celestia, Light Skylanders, Light Lily, Tai, Matt, Izzy, Sora, Mimi, Joe, T.K., Kari, Pounce and Wingspan VS Eric Needham A.K.A. Black Spider


Black Spider was first.

Black Spider: (to Jenny) I wonder which world we'll go to this time.

Jenny Wakeman: No idea. J.D. said it was a mystery. But we're gonna be in for an awesome adventure when we go there.

Princess Celestia: It sure will be very interesting to see whatever it will be.

Spotlight: It sure will.

Light Lily nodded.

Tai: Whatever we'll see there it will be amazing.

Matt: Yeah it sure will be.

Black Spider: I can tell. Lets do it!

They fired waves of light and elements and smashed him down!

Jenny Wakeman: Yeah!

Princess Celestia: That was so much fun!

Bluto went at her and Sea pulverized him in a brutal fight cloud and smashed him all over the place with incredible fury. She then grabbed his legs with her tail and smashed him onto the ground left and right. She was playing Go Fish with me while she was pulverizing him.

Sea: Got any 10's?

Me: Sorry Sea. Go fish.

Sea: Darn.

Sea drew a card.

She then spun him around like a top and smashed his head in all over and she won.


We got the Usual battles done.

Battletrap: Now that the usual battles are out of the way, let's start the next mission.

Me: Yep. Lets do it.

We went and got to the Simulator.

We got into the Simulator and it activate and we found ourselves in a really amazing and beautiful world.

Mr. Go: Where are we, Mr. Touch?

Mr. Touch: I have no idea, Mr, Go.

We saw the world we were in and it looked incredible and it was one of the most beautiful we've ever seen.

Me: WHOA! Look at this world!

Nico: Are we on another planet?

Eli: It looks that way. But this is amazing.

We went to an archway and we entered the beautiful city.

Me: Wow.

I saw on a sign a name in latin.

Me: "Scala ad Caelum." That's latin for Stairway to Heaven!

Nico: That must be the name of this place.

Sora: Yes that's right. It's a beautiful place.

Me: Wow! Are we in Heaven?

Sora: No this place is a place that looks like it.

Eli: It's beautiful.

We walked around and the builds were incredible. It was like they were mountain stairs that went all the way up to the sky.

Eye Five: I don't see anyone else here.

Me: I know. Looks like no one has been here for years.

Eli: I don't sense anyone here at all.

Laney: Weird.

Ena: I wonder where they all went.

Lana: Good question.

Me: There has to be an explanation. There must be a library somewhere that can help us out.

Laney: I think there's one there.

Laney pointed to a building.

Robo Blaze: Tronics, keep an eye out for anything suspicious.

They agreed.

We went into the library and there were tons and tons of books.

Me: Wow look at all these books.

Twilight Sparkle was squealing like a kid in a candy store.

Nico: Wow she sure is excited.

Me: Twilight loves to read. Lets see what we can find.

We got to searching for any kind of book that can help us out.

Me: Hmm.

Splash Woman: It's quiet. Too quiet.

Peyton: It's a library what did you expect?

I then found a book that was really thick and I pulled it out and the title was interesting.

Me: Hmm. This looks interesting. "The Coming of The Times of Darkness: The Chronicles of the Keyblade Wars."

I gathered everyone and showed them the big book I found.

Nico: Wow that book looks promising.

Me: Lets see what it holds.

I opened it and we read it. It showed that Scala ad Caelum was once a town called Daybreak Town and the worlds were all one. It was back 1,000 years ago.


Daybreak Town is a world that appears in Kingdom Hearts χ and Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ and serves as the hub for the player. The town is similar in appearance to Radiant Garden and Traverse Town.

At the central point of Daybreak Town lies the Fountain Square, a large plaza and fountain that appears to be a hangout spot for Keyblade wielders. The Central Marketplace is located directly to the west from the Fountain Square. Adjacent to this, situated directly behind the fountain, is the Moogle's Shop, which consists of two main levels and an attic level that can be used to access the Upper Fountain Square.

By continuing west into the Central Market Place, one may either enter the Central Market Warehouse. From here, a western path leads to the northern Bridge to the Outskirts. Following leads to the Boardwalk, allowing access to Waterfront Park. The upper level of Waterfront Park is built around the Lighthouse and overlooks the horizon, while the lower level of Waterfront Park, opens into a larger area at the base of the Lighthouse, allowing entry the Lighthouse in order to descend towards the Docks. Here, Keyblade wielders may take a boat from the western shore leading south-east to the Beach. The Beach of this tiny island stretches far to the east, overlooked by a sister Lighthouse to the one found at the Docks, bearing the Lux sigil at its top. From the opposite shore, another bot can be taken, bringing wielders toward a Shipwreck, wherein a large Corridor of Darkness lay in wait.

To the south-west of the Fountain Plaza, one can reach the 1st District, and to the north-east, 2nd District - wherein the only known entrance to the Clock Tower can be found, via the Waterway There are five corridors of the Waterway which lead directly into the base of the Clock Tower, an area strictly prohibited for entry by any who are not Union leaders. From here, by ascending the Levels of the Clock Tower via the gears, one would find themselves at the Elevator, which can be used to access the higher levels of the Clock Tower, such as the Foretellers' Chambers, wherein the foretellers and new Union leaders hold council around a large table. Indivuals can use the Elevator bring them to the top of the Clock Tower, where access to the Control Room can only be granted by unlocking it with a Keyblade. Alternatively, in the basement of the Clock Tower lies a room where research was conducted in order to allow individuals to cross worldlines via a machine called the Lifeboat, though it was never completed.

By following the trail through the 2nd District, one may eventually reach the 7th District, wherein lies the Storage Area. By following the trail to the east, one can arrive at the Tower Outskirts, an area due north of the Fountain Plaza and seated directly in front of the Clock Tower.

Additional areas in Daybreak Town include Player's Room, which is located in the southwest - as indicated by the distance from the Clock Tower - and Strelitzia's room, which is located in another residential area; however, the exact location is undeterminable. Far southeast of the Clock Tower, the residential area of Daybreak Town ends, where a hillside covered in dandelions overlooks the town. Finally, there is a haunted house located in an unspecified area of Daybreak Town, bearing a large armillary sphere at its center, hourglass pillars holding up a second level, wherein Corridors of Darkness can be found behind each of its doors.

Story Before Kingdom Hearts χ

During the "age of fairy tales", the Master of Masters creates the Book of Prophecies by means of his "Gazing Eye", which allows him to view any events in the future it will witness. The Master takes six apprentices, gifting each of them Keyblades forged from the depths of their hearts, who are then renamed Aced, Ava, Gula, Invi, Ira, and Luxu after they ascend to the rank of Keyblade Master. Aced, Ava, Gula, Invi, and Ira are chosen to be foretellers and receive copies of the Book of Prophecies, which depicts an event known as the Keyblade War, in which light would expire and the world would reach its end.

Sometime before his disappearance, the Master would meet with Luxu constantly in the Control Room where they would talk about the past as well as the future. Leaving it in the hands of the Dandelions and yet, Luxu was depressed about the Keyblade wielders not being able to do against the impending darkness, the Master informed him that there is a way to defeat darkness, but it would require extensive planning and many lifetimes to accomplish.

Shortly thereafter, the Master bestows Luxu with the No Name Keyblade that contains his Gazing Eye and instructs him to pass the No Name from master to apprentice so that the Gazing Eye can relay future events back to him. The Master then orders Luxu to simply watch things unfold between the other apprentices and keep the contents of a black box a secret from the others. Sometime later, the Master provides Ira with his role to succeed him as the leader in the event of his disappearance. Ira remains adamant that they must do something to try to avert the Keyblade War, though the Master claims it to be inevitable, and resolves to gather as many Keyblade wielders as possible to maintain the balance of power.

After Luxu leaves to fulfill his role, the Master assigns the rest of the foretellers with their own individual roles: Invi is tasked to observe her fellow foretellers and act as a mediator; Aced is to become Ira's right-hand man when Ira takes over as leader; Gula is assigned to discern who the traitor mentioned in the Lost Page of the Master's copy of the Book of Prophecies is and stop them; and Ava is instructed to avoid the imminent battles in favor of gathering exceptional Keyblade wielders, regardless of their Unions, to be part of a separate faction called the Dandelions, who would venture to another world in order to ensure light's survival. The Master provides Ava with a list of five Keyblade wielders she must gather to succeed the foretellers as Union leaders following the Keyblade War, with only one of them meant to receive a copy of the Book of Prophecies.

The foretellers are soon introduced to the Master's latest creation, the Chirithy. Though the Spirit Chirithy are meant to aid Keyblade wielders in their endeavors, the Master warns them that if a wielder falls to darkness, so will their Chirithy, causing them to transform into a Nightmare.

Without warning, the Master disappears from the world, and although Ava and Gula actively seek him out, they are unable to locate him. Upholding the Master's teachings, the foretellers begin recruiting Keyblade wielders to each of their Unions, utilizing the powers of their copies of the Book of Prophecies in the form of Medals to aid their wielders in collecting Lux.

Kingdom Hearts χ

Having watched Player defeat countless Heartless throughout Daybreak Town, Player's respective foreteller commends them on their abilities but encourages them to team up with their comrades to take down stronger foes. The foreteller informs them that there are others who collect Lux for their own nefarious purposes and entreats Player to help discern who walks the path of darkness.

After traversing the worlds on various quests, Player returns to Daybreak Town and finds that a Gummi Ship had crashed in Waterfront Park. After the Moogle steals some Gummi Blocks for itself, Player meets Donald Duck and Goofy, who recognize the Keyblade and ask for their help in recovering the Gummi Blocks. While fighting the Heartless for Gummi Blocks in the Market, Player is overcome by a group of Wizards. Mickey Mouse, guided by the Star Shard, intervenes and saves Player, who informs him of Donald and Goofy's situation. Mickey introduces Player to Chip and Dale, who he sends ahead with Player to help Donald and Goofy reconstruct the Gummi Ship. While alone, Mickey questions what it was that guided him to Daybreak Town, unaware that Invi is watching him from afar. With Chip and Dale's help, the Gummi Ship is restored, and Mickey, Donald, and Goofy leave Daybreak Town.

Player comes across the Moogle again, who asks that Player take the Light Drawing Bangle to extract Lux from Raid Bosses for him. After they does so, Moogle meets with an unseen figure in an alley. The Moogle questions why the figure did not give Player the Bangle themselves, who claims it to be too soon for that and they would need the guilt-ridden Moogle's help in the future.

Sometime later, Player reunites with Donald and Goofy, as they have crashed their Gummi Ship again in Daybreak Town. Donald and Goofy encounter the Moogle, who has constructed his own Keyblade out of wood, which proves to be ineffective against the Heartless. When Player steps in, their Keyblade changes to become the Moogle O' Glory, and Donald and Goofy realize that Player is the "Key". The Moogle plots to steal Player's Keyblade, but when he attempts to do so, he is disappointed to find that the Keyblade simply returns to Player. As Donald and Goofy prepare to leave with Player after Chip and Dale fix the Gummi Ship, they realize that the Player is not inside with them and take off without the "Key".

When Player next returns to Daybreak Town, Nightmare Chirithy, posing as Chirithy, gifts Player with the Power Bangle, which allows them the ability to unknowingly utilize the darkness to empower the Keyblade.

One day, Chirithy tells Player about the Master of Masters, the impending Keyblade War, and how the foretellers decided to draw upon powers from the future to prevent the final entry from coming true. In revealing that the foretellers all share the same goal but follow different paths, Chirithy implores that Player not lose sight of their own.

Ira calls a meeting of the foretellers after capturing Nightmare Chirithy and declares that there is a traitor among them. He reasons that the Nightmare has to belong to one of them, as it was responsible for the Power Bangles, which is something it could not have obtained without help. Unable to come up with a viable solution to identifying the culprit, Aced calls Ira's leadership into question for accusing one of them of being a traitor and storms off. Once alone, Ira tells Invi of the Lost Page and requests that Invi keep an eye on the others.

As Neoshadows appear in Daybreak Town, Player teams up with other members from their Union in order to take on the new breed of Heartless. During this time, Chirithy meets with another Chirithy, who mentions that its wielder appears to be rather indifferent, much to its concern. Given the strife between the foretellers due to the emergence of the Nightmare Chirithy, Chirithy attempts to encourage its comrade, stating that they have to trust their wielders to flourish. Later, when Player returns to the Moogle's Shop to reunite with their friends, Chirithy informs Player that their friends were destroyed by Neoshadows. Taking its leave, Chirithy reunites with its comrade, who admits that its wielder had fallen to darkness as it fades from existence.

Following the disappearance of the other Chirithy, the foreteller leading Player's Union appears to speak with Chirithy. The foreteller reveals that even though the Keyblade wielders are gathering Lux at an amazing rate, the darkness is spreading even faster. With this, Chirithy asks if that means that there really is a traitor among them, to which the foreteller states that they are not willing to believe that yet.

One night, Player is shown a dream by Chirithy, in which the foretellers meeting with the Master in the Foretellers' Chambers. However, Nightmare Chirithy quickly puts a stop to the dream. After Player goes back to sleep, Chirithy confronts Nightmare Chirithy for its interference, the latter questioning the former for showing Player the dream. Chirithy admits that its intention is the opposite of its Nightmare counterpart's, prompting the latter to declare the two of them to be enemies before it disappears, and a worried Chirithy vows to protect Player.

The following day, Player is sent to deal with an Invisible in Waterfront Park and befriends another Keyblade wielder named Ephemer. While two wielders decide to investigate the Foretellers' Chambers from Player's dream, Chirithy asks its Nightmare counterpart if Ephemer is its wielder. Chirithy notices that Nightmare Chirithy's fur has darkened, to which Nightmare Chirithy mocks its adversary and asks what it intends to do as Player is getting closer to the truth.

Aced meets with Ava and Gula to discuss their lack of faith in Ira's leadership. Gula agrees to form an alliance with Aced, though their alliance would not influence their respective Unions. Ava remains loyal to the Master's teachings, as forming alliances is forbidden. Invi arrives and discovers Aced's intent, condemning him for his actions, though Aced counters with his suspicion of an alliance between her and Ira based on Invi's actions. Invi reports back to Ira about the alliance and volunteers to convince Gula to dissolve it, before distancing herself from Ira to quell Aced's suspicion.

Together, Player and Ephemer find an entrance to the waterways in the 2nd District, leading them to discover an entrance to the Clock Tower. The two agree to continue their investigation the following day to dissuade suspicion. Afterward, Ephemer finds Ava mulling over recent events at the Fountain Plaza and attempts to comfort her. Ava expresses her doubts about the Master's teachings regarding the competition between the Unions and approves of Ephemer's desire to solve the mysteries of the world, as she believes that people should question things and think for themselves. When Ephemer reveals that he had befriended a Keyblade wielder from a different Union, Ava is pleased that wielders from other Unions could work together. Meanwhile, as Player tells Chirithy about Ephemer, Chirithy entertains the notion of making friends, but remarks on not having friends of its own. Player assures Chirithy that the two of them are friends, a sentiment that surprises Chirithy.

Later that night, Ephemer attempts to enter the Clock Tower alone but is discovered by Ava. She discloses to him that she intends on choosing five people from the Dandelions, including Ephemer, to act as Union Leaders in the foretellers' stead after the Keyblade War. Although Ephemer is reluctant to ascend to the position, he agrees to do cooperate with Ava. Then, she provides Ephemer with a book of rules that would help guide the new Union leaders and explains that they must erase the memories of the Keyblade War from the minds of the Dandelions. As the truth about the Keyblade War must be kept a secret among the new Union leaders, Ava tells Ephemer that they must work with the Chirithy to protect the secret. Ava then sends Ephemer to another realm in preparation and instructs him to meet the other Union leaders in the Keyblade Graveyard after the war.

When Ephemer fails to meet Player at the Fountain Square the following day, a saddened Chirithy comforts them. Strelitzia, who had taken note of Player's waiting throughout the day, sees this after returning from her missions for the day. From this moment on, Strelitzia feels drawn to Player, though she is too shy to approach them.

After Player having a dream about Ephemer in the Clock Tower, they decides to search for clues on Ephemer's whereabouts at the Clock Tower, in spite of Chirithy's protests. The Player sneaks into the Clock Tower but is caught by Ava. Recognizing them from what Ephemer had told her, Ava decides to test the strength of Player's heart and notes the sadness within Player's heart could lead them down the path to darkness. Ava then sends Player and Chirithy back home and forbids them from returning to the restricted area.

Back home, Player rests while Chirithy watches over them. Ava appears asking if Chirithy had been the one to show Player the dream about Ephemer. When Chirithy denies this, Ava suspects that Ephemer is trying to reach out to them from another realm. Ava suggests that the connection between both Player and Ephemer could mean that they are getting closer to that realm, but whether or not he continues down that path is up to his heart. Ava warns Chirithy that it must protect Player from the nightmares before she departs.

Having received a special mission for Player from the foretellers, Chirithy meets with Player in the Fountain Square and gives them the Bracelet of Light that will protect Player from the darkness. Chirithy mentions that Player will need it to protect them from the Corridors of Darkness on their next mission. After clearing the Heartless from within the Corridors of Darkness in Daybreak Town, Agrabah, and the Dwarf Woodlands, Chirithy advises Player to be prepared for their next mission.

After Player successfully completes the Dark Corridor Trials, Chirithy reports back to Player's foreteller, who is pleased to hear of their progress, but Chirithy questions the wisdom of assigning such a dangerous mission. Player's foreteller laments that they have no choice but to hasten Player's training, as they must strengthen their resistance to darkness as quickly as possible and obtain as many warriors as they can get on the side of light.

Gula dissolves his alliance with Aced, citing the fact that they are no closer to knowing the identity of the traitor than before and unintentionally revealing Invi's role in his decision. Furious, Aced attacks Invi for her interference. Invi tries to defend that she is protecting the balance of power as the Master ordered them to, but Aced remains adamant that they need to defy the Master's teachings to protect the world and create alliances against the looming darkness. Invi deems Aced to be the traitor just as Ava and Gula arrive at the scene and join Invi in her fight against Aced, from which he barely emerges alive.

Once their mission is completed, Player and Chirithy return to Daybreak Town, where they meet another wielder named Skuld, who asks why the collection of Lux has to be treated like a competition between the Unions. Skuld reveals that Ephemer had reached out to her through her dreams and requested that she seek out Player, suggesting that they investigate the Foretellers' Chambers for further answers. Having witnessed the battle between Aced and Invi, Skuld takes as a sign that Ephemer is right about the Keyblade War. In spite of Chirithy's protests, the Player agrees to go with her.

Before making it into the Clock Tower, Player and co. are confronted by Darklings that are after their Lux. When the wielders defeat them, the Heartless make a hasty retreat, but before Player and Skuld can pursue, their path is blocked by Nightmare Chirithy. Nightmare Chirithy tells Player and Skuld that they should embrace the darkness, just as their colleagues had before becoming the Darklings since that the power the Darklings had fought with was entirely their own. Chirithy objects that those are not the teachings the Chirithys are meant to provide, but the Nightmare Chirithy scoffs at its counterpart and hints that its wielder is nearby before it disappears. Player and co. then proceed to the Foretellers' Chambers.

Inside the Foretellers' Chambers, Player and Skuld unable to find any clues about Ephemer's whereabouts. As they are about to leave, they are caught by Player's foreteller, who informs them that Ephemer had been caught and disposed of several days before. The foreteller tells them that Ephemer had been using them, as he hailed from a Union whose purpose contradicted their own, and asks what they intend to do next. Although Chirithy assures the foreteller that they will not retaliate, Player decides to avenge Ephemer and battle the foreteller, with the latter ultimately emerging victorious. As Player is cast to the ground, the facade of the Foretellers' Chambers fades away and the group finds themselves in the waterways.

Ava heals Player, thanking them and Skuld for showing her the strength of their hearts and apologizing for her deception. Ava proceeds to tell them the truth of the Keyblade War, Ephemer's involvement, and her plan to recruit Keyblade wielders with a strong resistance to darkness to become Dandelions. She invites them to join, and while Skuld immediately agrees, the Player is hesitant. Ava respects their decision but asks that Player and Skuld keep everything she has told them a secret.

In the aftermath, Gula confronts Aced, finding him collapsed in one of the houses of Daybreak Town. Gula tells him about the incomplete nature of their copies of the Book of Prophecies, the contents of the Lost Page, and that the Master tasked him to find and stop the traitor, much to Aced's disbelief and rage. Unable to forgive Gula for silently standing by while the foretellers fought each other, Aced cuts him down with his Keyblade. However, before he can finish Gula off, Ava arrives and begs Aced to stop, who consents and leaves Ava to tend to Gula on her own.

As Aced hobbles through the streets of Daybreak Town, he comes across Ira. Believing that he had come to finish him off, Aced collapses to the ground and requests him make his end swift. However, Ira explains that he will not eliminate Aced, as he wants to fulfill the role he was given by the Master. As it is forbidden to change the events of the future, Ira wants to continue working with Aced to ensure that light lives on, stressing that they cannot afford to lose any of the foretellers. Aced is touched to hear that Ira still considers him to be a comrade and informs him that Gula has the Lost Page and that he has been using it to discern the identity of the traitor. While Ira claimed this to be his role, Aced remains unsure, as he is incapable of forgiving Gula's actions. Advising Aced to keep Gula's role a secret, Ira sets out to find the latter and retrieve the Lost Page.

Knowing that Ira is searching for him, Ava takes Gula into hiding, though Invi quickly discovers them and reports their location to Ira, leading him to confront Ava a few days later. Frightened by the possible consequences, she protects Gula from Ira, who calmly retreats after she asserts her resolve. Returning to Gula's side, she is informed about the ambiguous contents of the Lost Page, which predicts an inevitable betrayal and "the one who bears the sigil", whom he had assumed was Aced. He commends the distraught Ava for her scrupulous behavior, blaming himself for basing his actions on the Lost Page. Determined to find out what the Lost Page truly means, Gula intends to summon Kingdom Hearts to force the Master's return and pleads with Ava to help him with his plan. Although she declines, as summoning Kingdom Hearts is forbidden, Gula respects her decision and goes off on his own.

Ava later chides Invi for worsening the conflict between the foretellers by divulging Gula's whereabouts to Ira, and defends her own actions in assembling the Dandelions by explaining that she is merely following the Master's instructions. Invi apologizes for misinterpreting Ava's actions, and Ava discloses Gula's plan to summon Kingdom Hearts by collecting Lux. They realize that Aced and Ira are also gathering Lux out of fear that Gula is vying for power, and decide to do the same in order to maintain the balance and delay the war, despite worrying that it could hasten the war.

Ava gathers the Dandelions at the Fountain Square and directs them to continue with their continue their preparations to avoid the war by going to the world outside, and entrusts them with the hopes for the future. In a last-ditch effort to avert the Keyblade War, Ava seeks out Luxu to find the Master's whereabouts and have him prevent the war.

As time passes, Player and Chirithy find more Keyblade wielders squabbling with one another over the ownership of light. Despite Chirithy's suggestion that they do not get involved, Player intervenes when they see them draw their Keyblades. Chirithy scolds the wielders for raising their weapons against a comrade and attempts to reason with the them to no avail. Overhearing an argument between Player, Skuld, and several Keyblade wielders from different Unions, Aced lectures the wielders of the importance of trusting their Unions and that a Union's strength is determined by victory rather than Lux. Skuld objects Aced's claims, who notes that she is part of Ava's Dandelions and points out that what Ava is doing with the Dandelions a display of power as well. The player steps forward to challenge Aced, the latter easily defeating the former and disqualifying them as a Keyblade wielder.

When Ira arrives on the scene, he rebukes Aced for raising his Keyblade against another wielder. Despite Aced's attempts to defend himself, he tells Aced that his blood lust that drew him to their location. Aced argues that the Keyblade War is unavoidable, blaming the other foretellers for intensifying the situation. Aced reveals that he intends on unifying all of the Unions and appointing himself as leader once he banished Ira and the other foretellers, but Ira dismisses his foolish plot and warns Aced that his arrogance will lead to his downfall. But Aced states that he will be waiting at the place of the final battle before taking his leave. Once the crowd disperses, Ira affirms that the Keyblade War is unavoidable to Player, Skuld, and Chirithy and tasks Skuld and Player to prepare themselves as he departs, only for Player to fall unconscious.

Elsewhere, Strelitzia is approached by Ava, who selects Strelitzia to become one of five Dandelions to succeed the foretellers as one of the new Union leaders and provides her a collection of laws by which the Union Leaders would be required to follow. That night, Strelitzia begins to have doubts about becoming a Union leader and feels uneasy about abandoning those who are not Dandelions. Realizing that Player is not one of the Dandelions, Strelitzia resolves to find them and convince Player to join the Dandelions to save them from taking part in the Keyblade War.

Chirithy and Skuld manage to bring Player back home to rest. With them asleep, the two discuss the growing tension between the Unions and conclude the Keyblade War appears to be unavoidable. When they awaken, Skuld voices her concern over the loss of morale amongst the Dandelions since Ava's sudden disappearance. Chirithy recommends they should speak with Gula in regards to Ava's whereabouts. Player and co. find Gula in an abandoned house, and he deduces that they were looking for Ava to avert the upcoming Keyblade War. He also informs them that they cannot change anything and only the Master can stop it, and the missing Luxu might be the one only to know of his whereabouts. When Gula remarks on the similarities between Skuld and Ava, she realizes that Ava is searching for Luxu to find the Master.

On the outskirts of Daybreak Town, Ava locates Luxu and interrogates him. Luxu explains that he is meant to continue on into the future written in the Book of Prophecies and surmises Ava's intentions for seeking him out, but deems her efforts as useless. Furthermore, Luxu states that the Lost Page is a prophecy that the foretellers are not aware of and that it is his mission to inherit its secrets. Ava begins to wonder if everything that has transpired has been of the Master's will and suspects Luxu of being the traitor. Luxu tells her the truth about the traitor, much to her disbelief. Luxu claims that the Keyblade War is unavoidable and ponders if the Master would rather know how his disciples will guide the keys than the fate of the world. Ava, refusing to believe that the Master would choose them over the world, accuses Luxu of taking his advantage of the Master's will. Ava attacks Luxu with her Keyblade, and the clashing of their Keyblades sends a ripple effect throughout Daybreak Town, which tolls the bell that signifies the start of the war.

Meanwhile, Gula recites a passage of the Lost Page to Player and co., explaining that the traitor described on it would be the one to bring an end to the world. He admits that, although they suspected someone, they were unable to stop them. Chirithy questions if Gula should be divulging the Lost Page to them, and while Gula affirms that he should not, he sees it meaningless to hide its contents now that the Keyblade War is near. Hearing the bells of the Clock Tower toll, Gula announces that the war has begun and advises Player and co. to leave, as each Union will likely rally their forces soon enough.

Strelitzia and her Chirithy learn that Player was last seen by an abandoned house and go to investigate, though Player is nowhere to be found. Suddenly, someone comes out from the shadows, attacks both Strelitzia and her Chirithy and stole her book of rules. In her last moments, Strelitzia recalls how she wanted to speak with Player, carrying her Chirithy in her arms as she fades and her heart is released.

After Skuld leaves to be with the Dandelions, the Player asks Chirithy if it will disappear if they do as well, which Chirithy confirms. When Player asks for Chirithy's opinion on the Keyblade War, Chirithy confesses that it does not want Player to fight, though it clarifies it says this as a friend rather than as Player's guide. Ultimately, the Player decides not to take part in the Keyblade War, choosing to join the Dandelions instead. Nightmare Chirithy appears and scorns Player as a coward for abandoning their friends by not participating in the war. Angered by this, Player demands to know who the Nightmare Chirithy is, who reveals that Player has been using the power of darkness via the Power Bangle. Although Chirithy refuses to believe this, Nightmare Chirithy tells its counterpart that this is all according to Master's will.

Chirithy insists that the Power Bangle takes the sins and turns them into light rather than darkness. Nightmare Chirithy contradicts its counterpart's claim by revealing that he also belongs to Player, but differs from Chirithy in that it can act on its own will. Nightmare Chirithy declares that, if Player refuses to take part in the Keyblade War, it will show Player its dream himself and summons the Darklings to battle with Player. Chirithy questions Nightmare Chirithy's motive, the latter proclaiming that Nightmares exist to show people bad dreams, allowing them to sever connections and live freely, a concept that Chirithy is unable to understand.

After Player defeats the Darklings, Nightmare Chirithy absorbs the Darklings and battles Player. The player emerges victorious against Nightmare Chirithy, who reverts to its regular form and begins to fade away. Nightmare Chirithy remarks on how their connection has now been severed but warns them that they will meet in another dream, before fading from existence.

Kingdom Hearts Union χ

After the Keyblade War, the Dandelions enter the new world, where they immediately lose all their memories of the old world. Ephemer, Skuld, Ventus, Brain, and Lauriam work together to ensure that the painful memories of the past become buried by new memories, instituting a Union χ to allow more opportunities for new adventures.

As the Dandelions relive the majority of their experiences from the old world, Chirithy reports to Ephemer and Skuld about Player's persisting nightmares of the Keyblade War. While Skuld encourages Chirithy to protect Player from the truth, Ephemer mentions that he senses a different Darkness that he plans to investigate with her. Once Chirithy leaves, she questions Ephemer as to why he told Chirithy about the Darkness, as they likely made Chirithy worry, but Ephemer argues that it affects everyone, and that the more that the new world differs from its predecessor, the more uneasy he feels.

As the new world diverges from the old with the exclusion of the Keyblade War, Player arrives at the Moogle's Shop, which has been flooded by Ferocious Fins. The player joins a party of Keyblade wielders in pursuing the Heartless through the waterways beneath Daybreak Town and search for a way to stop the water flow. When Player encounters the Ferocious Fins again, their new friends opt to stall the Heartless while he searches for the right valve to drain the area. With Player's task completed, they return to their party and work together to destroy the Heartless. Player returns to the Moogle's Shop, but when the Moogle welcomes them to his new shop, Player is unnerved because of their inconsistent memories. But their newfound friends manage to convince them that everything is fine.

The Union leaders decide to celebrate their successes by creating new Spirits for the Dandelions. As a result, Player and Chirithy encounter another Chirithy sent by the Union leaders, who use Chirithy's fur to craft the new Spirit, whose purpose is to further aid Player in battle and help defend them against Nightmares.

After a while Ephemer calls everyone to the tower again with the exception of Lauriam, but from Brain; he receives his support no matter what and proceeds to talk about the Pride Shift. While Brain likes the idea of having a friendly contest, Ven and Skuld opposed it, with Emphemer as the tie breaker, he decides to go along with the Pride Shift but at a compromise he agrees to let keyblade wielders fight against data copies of each other and everyone agrees. Brain believes that this idea was too clever of him to come with upon his own, he tells the others that the idea came from Lauriam who in turned said that he was looking for someone who was suppose to be a Dandelion and they all wonder who believing their comrade will tell them when he's ready. Seeing that there was nothing in the data; Lauriam suspected that Elrena may know where his sister went since they were union members on occasion but didn't know anything. So the duo asked her Chirithy and from it learned that it was friends with Strelitzia's Chirithy and that she was looking for a certain "someone", to join the Dandelions to save them from the Keyblade War, Elrena's Chirithy also adds that what it saw happened before the bells rang and around the same area they were in. It was there that it saw one of the new Union Leaders leave was Skuld and Lauriam leaves to talk to her, arriving at the clock tower he informs the others that he was looking for his sister Strelitzia but was saddened that she didn't know her at first they believed she may have perished in the war but through Brain's deductive reasoning they realized that's not what happened.

Knowing that Strelitzia was trying to save Player from the war, Ephemer took Lauriam to meet them but was sadden to know that they didn't know her either but advised them to keep her their heart. While Player and Ephemer spend the day together Lauriam returned to Elrena who informed him that she saw what looked liked ghost of his sister; shocked he entered the warehouse calling her but there's no response then, considers that Brain knows way more than what's going on. Back at the clock tower, Brain continues to read the Book of Prophecy intensively which doesn't go unnoticed by Ventus and Brain reveals his goal, and that at the present, they are still following a destructive destiny, one which he intends to overwrite. Mentioning that, even if they succeed, nothing would change, he resolves to become a virus to overwrite that destiny, then leaves for the control room. Meanwhile Ventus and Skuld begin to wonder what Brain was talking about then they suggest asking Ephemer what he thinks but before they could they notice apparitions of Master Ava and the Master of Masters, Ven leaves to check on Brain who is in the Control Room. At the same time Ephemer and Player, begin to notice strange bugs and glitches happening everywhere and head for the clock tower upon making it inside they come across Ventus who was being attacked by Darklings and after dispelling them they all enter the Control Room to talk to Brain.

Despite Brain doing his best to stop the glitches he is met upon by Ephemer, Ventus, and Player; he explains the state of the worlds before and after the Keyblade War. That at first they were real and whole but now have become disconnected. Concluding that the worlds were recreated as data and upon noticing the glitches he suggests that they are within the data version of Daybreak Town. And the glitches are a result of a new world that connected to their world, but doesn't exist in their world or time yet causing them to appear. Though it was impossible for Brain to completely sever the connection, he managed to stabilize it, though they would have to investigate in order to fully understand what's going on so Brain opens the gate leaving Ephemer and Player to explore the new world.

With Ephemer's return, Brain discusses with all the Union leaders they explained the situation and add that they'd pursued Darklings into the new world, and soon after enemies from their world began appearing in this new world, suggesting that the Darklings were responsible. With all of the evidence presented, Brain concludes that they're in the data Daybreak Town, causing Ephemer to ask whether or not there even was a real Daybreak Town, while Ventus wonders if it had been destroyed. Brain assesses that there is no way of knowing as they have been completely cut off from their original world, with no possible way of returning; suggesting this is someone else's plan.

However that wasn't their only problem, while figuring out happened to Strelitzia the new Union leaders discover that there is an imposter in their ranks. So to solve this case, Brain summons his Chirithy to have him collect Ventus and Skuld, meeting Ephemer on the hill overlooking Daybreak Town he unveils that Strelitzia was meant to be one of the new Union leaders and receive the book. And yet aware that it was Ava's doing to change who received the Book of Prophecies, he expressed doubt that it wasn't her intention to change the Union leaders. When the others arrive, he asks them where Ava had told them, they were to become Union leaders hearing that Ven's encounter with her was done near the clock tower as well as entering dim light house and leaving together, rather than on the hill. Suspicious Brain comes clean about how Ventus was never supposed to be one of the new Union leaders, much to his shock as he wasn't aware of this fact, thus proving his innocence. Brain suspects that Darkness posed as Master Ava, killed Strelitzia and gave Ventus her book. Then, Ventus grabs his head in pain where he vaguely sees Strelitzia dying but was comforted by Brain as they plan to tell Lauriam about his sister's intended role back at the clock tower.

The strain of Ven trying to remember puts him in so much stress that he was put in his room to rest, meanwhile Brain was consulting the Book of Prophecies and when asked by Ephemer and Skuld about his innocence. Even though, he didn't know the whole truth, Brain concluded from Ven's description that he was there when Strelitzia disappeared but was unsure who planned it with Ephemer believing it was Darkness. Through their sleeping comrade's dream what Brain and Ephemer had suspected turned out to be true as the Darkness entity although manipulated Ven into taking Strelitzia's place by stealing her rulebook, it was the Darkness entity itself that struck her down with the boy waking up in tears about what happened.

While that was going on unknown to them under Darkness' guidance, Maleficent was led to the data version of Daybreak Town, inside the clock tower into a secret room called the lifeboat, and told her to use one of the pods escape from the data world into the real world. Her escapades were discovered by Lauriam, he tried to stop her but it ends with the witch escaping in one of the pods to the real world, the lifeboat room being destroyed and with Lauriam knocked out until he walks out of the destroyed room.

With Ephemer, Skuld and Brain, discussing things further they were all left with more questions than answers. Especially with trying to figure out what the Darkness' intentions were by replacing Strelitzia with Ventus. However, Ephemer suggested that it maybe studying them so it could come for them as well. Their discussion was interrupted by a furious Lauriam who demanded them to tell him about what happened to his sister. But before they could explain, Ventus comes in terribly admitting that he killed Strelitzia much to the others' protest. With that Lauriam turns his anger and Keyblade on Ven demanding answers but he collapses on the ground as Darkness emerges stunning everyone.

Showing itself to the Union leaders, Brain described it as something from a kid's drawing, while talking with the entity about its intentions, Darkness explains that it is not trying to achieve anything. And yet, with that in mind Lauriam asks why it killed his sister, Darkness explains that it had been an unconscious desire of Ventus's to obtain power, and that they had simply done what was necessary in order to give him that. Enraged, that there was no real reason as to why Strelitzia had to die Lauriam attacks Darkness, but was defeated easily by it in his weakened state. Discussing even more, Brain and the others were shocked to discover that the entity had relations to the Master of Masters and why it had chosen Ventus because he was the one to carry the Darkness as the "fated child" written in the Book of Prophecies. With all the answers, he needed to know Brain summons his Keyblade and battles Darkness alongside Ephemer and Skuld.

The fight continues on until Ephemer is left standing but Brain is still convinced that Darkness isn't still here for nothing and finds out that it was here to transfer a signal of infection. Clarifying the entity said it was just doing it's role based on the book of prophecies, and used Ventus to separate itself from the hive mind of Darkness giving said individual a will of it's own not caring what sacrifice was needed. When Player and the Union Leaders rise up to fight again Darkness remained confident they would lose and as Lauriam spoke of getting out the entity scoffed at them, asking how they would accomplish it. Hearing of them planning to use the lifeboat as Maleficient had the entity ridiculed them for their cluelessness explaining the true purpose of the lifeboat and now with Maleficient's departure, the lockdown and destruction of the data world had begun. Despite them briefly defeating the entity, but with no form it could not be destroyed. Afterwards Ventus awakens using the light within him to dispell the dark creatures. Aware that it used him to give itself a form, he knew could do the same turning the entity into something they can destroy leaving Ven to fight alone.

Once more the Union Leaders were left with more questions than answers and Ventus is left unconscious again, Lauriam apologizes to him for his actions. Then, Elrena arrives with interesting news about her Chirithy seeing one of the former masters with someone else that looked like Streltzia in a white coat, the group was perplexed because all the former masters were gone and of Streltzia's demise. Soon Brain remembered this town was just a copy of the original one not of those who lived in it, aware of Lauriam searching the data before he knew that if data appropriations of Master Ava and Strelitzia appeared then, there were of them as well. More so if Strelitzia's data was with there's then someone must have accessed it suspecting it was Luxu or the Master of Masters, out of time they all head to the Ark room and find five pods left. Noticing that Darkness was right Daybreak Town was being destroyed, but with many trapped the Union Leaders split up, with Brain, Ventus, Elrena and Luariam heading to the real world while Ephemer, Skuld and the Player remind to defend the remaining Dandelions until they could all get out. Before leaving Brain passes down his Master's Defender Keyblade and the Book of Prophecies, assuring it will help when he needs it.

Kingdom Hearts III

Sometime after the age of fairytales, Ephemer founded the city of Scala ad Caelum over the remains of Daybreak Town, now described as a "nexus from which all other worlds spring".

The final battle against Master Xehanort takes place in Xehanort's memories of Scala ad Caelum,[citation needed] following his transformation into a portal as a last-ditch effort by Sora, Donald, and Goofy to trap him. During the battle, Xehanort - now in his armor - twists and contorts the landscape by will. Eventually, the battle takes them underwater beneath the main mountain town, where the four clash around the ruins of Daybreak Town's clock tower, now dilapidated and suspended upside-down, along with the various scattered remains of the town's nearby buildings.

Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind

After traversing the hearts of five guardians in his efforts to restore Kairi's heart, Sora passes through Xehanort's portal as a heart, arriving at Scala ad Caelum ahead of his past self. Upon arriving at the Breezy Quarter, he locates a large mechanical device with three levers and four shifting murals - hitting the levers manipulates the murals to turn clockwise. The first mural is a plaque written in an unknown language; the second mural is of Daybreak Town as it once was; the third mural depicts the town experiencing some sort of calamity with only the word "Break" written beneath it; the final mural is of Scala ad Caelum.


It was after the union that the χ-blade was created and the 1st Keyblade War Broke Out. It was a terrible war that tore the world apart. The χ-blade's power was so all powerful and so all-mighty that it was destroyed into 20 pieces - 7 of light and 13 of Darkness.

Me: Wow that's amazing.

Robo Roxy: I don't think that took place in our world.

Me: No it didn't and thank goodness it didn't.

Nico: Does it say anything on the members of Organization XIII?

Me: Yes it does. Both True and Fake. And it even talls all about Xehanort and how he became the way he did.

I showed everyone the history of them.


Xehanort

Xehanort, also known as Master Xehanort, is a major character in the Kingdom Hearts series, and is the central antagonist of the Dark Seeker Saga. Xehanort is the main playable character of Kingdom Hearts Dark Road, which takes place during his youth and explores his journey to becoming the Seeker of Darkness.

A Keyblade Master who once taught Ventus, he believes that darkness and light should exist in perfect balance, and for this reason, he seeks to conquer Kingdom Hearts and recreate the worlds according to his wishes. Through his many different incarnations, including Terra-Xehanort, his Heartless Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, his Nobody Xemnas, and the time-travelling Young Xehanort, Xehanort is ultimately responsible for the series of events that repeatedly threaten the worlds with destruction, including the mass release of Heartless into the Realm of Light, the creation of the Nobodies and Organization XIII, and the formation of the real Organization XIII. He has also brought tragedy to many that have crossed his path, including Sora, Riku, Kairi, Terra, Ventus, and Aqua.

Before Kingdom Hearts Dark Road

Long before Xehanort existed he was referred to in a prophecy by Luxu, who knew that one day a chosen one who will reenact the Keyblade War will appear in the cycle of bequeathing that the No Name Keyblade would go through.

Xehanort was born in Scala ad Caelum. After his birth, the heart of a Keyblade wielder from the Age of Fairytales who fought in the Keyblade War merged with his newborn heart. As an infant, Xehanort was given away to a cloaked figure and brought to Destiny Islands, where he grew up and lived a seemingly ordinary childhood. However, Xehanort sought to leave the islands, viewing them as small and uneventful, in order to see the greater world beyond, largely due to recurring dreams that gave him glimpses of worlds and individuals he had never seen or met before.

Kingdom Hearts Dark Road

One day, as a young teenager, Xehanort was paid a visit by his future self's Heartless, Ansem, offering Xehanort passage out of Destiny Islands to seek the answers to the dreams he kept having. Xehanort accepted and left through a dark corridor. Though his name was forgotten over time, Xehanort's exploit of managing to leave Destiny Islands would be remembered for years.

While traveling through the dark corridor, Xehanort experienced his first encounter with darkness; extreme, negative emotions that began to overwhelm and attach to his heart. Despite the horrifying and overpowering nature of the darkness, Xehanort was greatly fascinated by it and took some level of comfort in his heart's capacity to continue to feel emotion. As recounted in his reports years later, Xehanort believed even at this point that darkness could be channeled and even controlled by a strong enough heart. The dark corridor eventually dropped Xehanort at Scala ad Caelum, where he was taken in by Keyblade Master Odin, becoming his seventh apprentice. During the course of his training, Xehanort eventually came to see his fellow pupil Eraqus as a brother. The two often spent their time playing chess between training. The Master taught Xehanort and his fellow classmates the ways of the Keyblade, and that their role as Keyblade wielders was to protect the worlds of light from darkness. However, this answer was unsatisfactory to Xehanort, and he often visited other worlds without permission to learn more. Initially, Xehanort wore Keyblade Armor during his travels, to protect himself from the darkness between worlds.

One day Master Odin informed everyone that the upperclassmen of Keyblade wielders had gone missing, including the sister of a fellow classmate, Baldr, and that his apprentices were to split into two groups to search the worlds. Xehanort traveled with Eraqus and another apprentice, heading to Agrabah first. Xehanort quickly realized that the world was still being reborn from the destruction of the Keyblade War, as no humans were in the world. Their search continued to Wonderland, where they avoided the insanity of the Queen of Hearts, but left Xehanort pondering if slaying those controlled by darkness is also necessary to protect the world.

Four years later, Xehanort visited the graves of his four fallen comrades. Eraqus tells him their demise wasn't his fault. However, Xehanort reveals his plan to go out into the worlds to learn more before their Mark of Mastery exam; Eraqus tells him to be back before the exam. This trip took Xehanort to Wonderland, where time had barely passed since his first visit. Still seeing the Queen of Hearts being influenced by darkness, Xehanort willingly approached her.

Between Kingdom Hearts Dark Road and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Ansem later visits Xehanort again and grants him the power to traverse time and tasks him with gathering twelve other incarnations of himself from across time to form the Real Organization XIII for his future self's final plans to obtain the power of Kingdom Hearts. After carrying out his duties in the future as "Young Xehanort," the youth eventually returns to his proper place in time and, while the rules of time travel prevent him from keeping his memories of his travels, the experiences he gained were engraved in his heart and would act as subconscious guidance for himself in the years to come.[6]

Eventually, the time drew near when both Xehanort and Eraqus would finally take their Mark of Mastery exams. To prepare for the exam, Xehanort was tasked to tour the various worlds to broaden his horizons. By this point in time, Xehanort had come to see the power of darkness as a necessity to wield if he were to be seen as an equal to Eraqus, a blueblood descended from the first keyblade wielders that comprised the Dandelions, and sought the means to wield both light and darkness in perfect balance. In the course of this pilgrimage, Xehanort met The Master of Masters, who gave him a black coat to use as an alternative method to ward off darkness and better observe the nature of the worlds. After seeing the darkness hidden within the worlds, Xehanort became disillusioned with the "false light" of the world that concealed the dark and decided to do what he could to change it, unaware that he was being driven by a subconscious memory of the future. Despite wishing to use the black coat, Xehanort was told by the Master that if he possessed true strength, the darkness would pose no threat to him; the Master then departed after revealing his true name. True to the Master's belief, Xehanort abandoned both his original Keyblade Armor and the black coat after feeling the darkness's power in the lanes between. Through his lack of fear of the darkness, Xehanort gained great power.

Eventually, both Eraqus and Xehanort became Keyblade Masters, and Eraqus was chosen as the Master's successor; Xehanort was chosen to inherit the No Name Keyblade. The newly titled Master Xehanort was free to take on apprentices of his own to train, and he traveled the worlds freely.

As he journeyed, Xehanort obtained vast knowledge concerning Keyblade lore, the Heartless, and the mysteries of the Keyblade War and Kingdom Hearts. Over the years, Xehanort's beliefs that darkness and light were meant to be in balance were further reinforced, believing that the "tyranny" of light had destroyed much of the darkness and shifted that balance. He, therefore, resolved to obtain the power of Kingdom Hearts so that he may create a World in balance. To that end, he sought to recreate the legendary χ-blade and begin a new Keyblade War. By this time, however, Xehanort had grown very old, and he devised a plan to use his Keyblade to extract his own heart and transfer it to a younger body to prolong his life until his ambitions were fulfilled. At one point, Xehanort discussed his ideas about the Keyblade War with Eraqus, who attempted to dissuade him from risking a new apocalypse for the sake of gaining knowledge. When Eraqus tried to stop him by force, Xehanort used his power of darkness to easily fend him off, scarring his face in the process.

Eventually, Xehanort encountered Ventus, who he took on as a pupil. Finding Ventus unsuitable as a vessel, he decided to use the boy in his plan to create the χ-blade. After failing to stimulate Ven's darkness during a training exercise in the Badlands, Xehanort forcibly extracted the darkness from his heart, creating Vanitas. Ven's heart was badly damaged in the process, and Xehanort brought him to the Destiny Islands to die in peace, but Ven showed signs of recovery after his heart connected with that of the newly born Sora. In order to strengthen Ven's light and keep him separated from Vanitas, Xehanort brought him to Eraqus at the Land of Departure and requested that he take care of Ventus and train him as a Keyblade wielder. His hopes were that Eraqus's dedication to the light would nurture Ventus and make him equal in strength to Vanitas so that they could one day fight each other, forging the χ-blade. Despite how they had parted ways, Eraqus readily accepts Xehanort's request, taking Ventus as an apprentice, to be trained along with Terra and Aqua. While there, Xehanort noticed Terra's desire for power, and he decided to make Terra his new vessel.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

A few years later, Master Eraqus invites Master Xehanort to the Land of Departure to witness Terra and Aqua becoming Keyblade Masters. Xehanort accepts, but he hints that Terra has the potential for darkness and suggests Eraqus administer a Mark of Mastery exam to the two apprentices. During the exam, Xehanort subtly uses darkness to affect the Orbs of Light and nudge Terra's darkness during his spar with Aqua. At the end of the exam, Eraqus names Aqua as Master, telling Terra that he failed to keep his darkness in check. Meanwhile, Xehanort leaves the building, passing by Vanitas, who tells him that Terra is the key to luring Ventus away from home. Outside, Xehanort tells Terra that he should not fear his darkness, and that he should learn to channel it instead. He then leaves via a Corridor of Darkness, making himself unavailable when Eraqus tries to contact him about the Unversed threat. Master Eraqus tasks Aqua and Terra with countering the Unversed and locating Master Xehanort, and Vanitas manipulates Ventus into following Terra.

During his travels, Master Xehanort meets the evil fairy Maleficent, and he informs her of the existence of other worlds, the Princesses of Heart, and Kingdom Hearts. He also tells her that the Keyblade is necessary to take others' hearts, and warns her of the three Keyblade wielders that would follow him to her world.

Some time later, Master Xehanort summons Terra to the Keyblade Graveyard, where he tells him of Vanitas and his connection to the Unversed. He explains that he created Vanitas after Ventus succumbed to darkness in a training accident, and he asks Terra to stop Vanitas for him, suggesting that he may be drawn to Radiant Garden, the city of light.

After arriving at Radiant Garden, Terra spots Master Xehanort walking into the Castle Town, but he is distracted from following him by a giant Unversed. Xehanort strikes an alliance with Braig, and they stage Xehanort's kidnapping in order to manipulate Terra into using darkness. Braig faces Terra in battle, and Terra accidentally channels his darkness, scarring Braig's face and forcing him to flee. Xehanort consoles the distraught Terra, offering to take him under his wing, so they may pursue a balance between light and darkness together. He tells "Master Terra" to continue his journey and his search for Vanitas.

After Terra leaves Radiant Garden, Braig attempts to gun Master Xehanort down, furious at being set up as "collateral damage", but Xehanort easily forces him to back down. When Braig remarks that a scarred face is better than a lost heart, Xehanort reveals that Terra is incapable of stealing a heart, implying that he himself was the one who stole Aurora's heart.

Later, Master Xehanort has Vanitas abduct Mickey Mouse to lure Ventus to the Keyblade Graveyard, where he reveals to Ventus the truth about his past and his plans to create the χ-blade. He adds that Master Eraqus has kept Ventus from venturing away from the Land of Departure in order to prevent the creation of the χ-blade, and that he never trusted Ventus enough to tell him the truth. Xehanort summons a dark vortex that sends Ven to the Land of Departure, expecting him to confront Eraqus. He then calls Terra to him, telling him that Ven went to confront Eraqus on his own, and that he fears for Ven's safety. He sends Terra after Ventus, and Terra arrives in time to protect Ven, throws him through a portal to safety, and defeats Eraqus in battle. Although Terra and Eraqus both regret their actions, Xehanort appears and delivers the final blow against Eraqus, who dissolves into light in Terra's arms. Revealing his true intentions to Terra, for him to succumb to darkness, Xehanort tells Terra to return to the Keyblade Graveyard, where he will see Ventus and Aqua meet their ends. He then summons his Keyblade and uses it to unleash darkness on the Land of Departure, completely destroying the world and leaving nothing but the castle's remains, before departing.

Terra, Ven and Aqua arrive at the Keyblade Graveyard, where Master Xehanort and Vanitas confront the three Keyblade wielders. Xehanort uses his immense magic to alter the landscape, summoning giant cliffs and creating a whirling stream of abandoned Keyblades that pursues the three friends. Terra is knocked onto the cliff where Xehanort stands, Ventus tries to attack him from behind, but Xehanort instantly moves behind Ven and grabs him by the helmet of his Keyblade Armor. Terra is knocked off the cliff by the flying Keyblades while Xehanort flash-freezes Ventus and drops him off the cliff. Xehanort then creates an orb of magic which he launches into the clouds overhead, summoning Kingdom Hearts in the sky.

Terra returns to the top of the cliff and faces off against Xehanort and Vanitas, but Xehanort soon sends Vanitas to fight Ventus, leaving Xehanort and Terra to fight one-on-one. Xehanort goads Terra into tapping into his darkness, and Terra successfully defeats the elderly Master. While the battle between Ventus and Vanitas climaxes in the χ-blade's forging, Xehanort uses his Keyblade to extract his own heart and implant it into Terra, declaring his vow to survive to see the results of the Keyblade War. Terra-Xehanort is converted from Terra's body, with his old body fading away in a shower of light with a triumphant smile.

Blank Points

Master Xehanort and Terra continue to dispute over internal dominance within Terra-Xehanort. Despite Xehanort's insistence that he will soon subsume Terra's heart into his own, Terra remains confident that he will win over and eventually expel Xehanort. Xehanort realizes that Terra is harboring the heart of Eraqus, which may allow him to resist his darkness for longer than he expected. However, Xehanort serenely points out that he has many other plans in the works should he lose control over Terra's body.

Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts II

Anticipating that Ventus and Vanitas's union may fail to successfully create the χ-blade, Master Xehanort had arranged a number of back up plans: Braig took the role of advisor and comrade for Terra-Xehanort, who had lost his memories except for his name following his fight with Aqua in Radiant Garden. With Braig's guidance, who led Radiant Garden's ruler, Ansem the Wise into discovering Terra-Xehanort and taking him in as an apprentice researcher, he and the amnesiac Terra-Xehanort began conducting experiments into the nature of the heart and the darkness within, in the attempt to remove one's sense of self. The two recruited other apprentices to assist in their research, which eventually led to the mass release of Heartless into the Realm of Light, which Terra-Xehanort marked with an emblem. Having banished Ansem the Wise to the Realm of Darkness and taking Ansem's name for himself, Terra-Xehanort and the other apprentices continue their experiments until they lose their hearts to darkness. Terra-Xehanort, recovering the use of his Keyblade, takes Braig's heart himself, before giving his own heart, creating his Heartless Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, and his Nobody Xemnas.

Ansem and Xemnas each carry out a part of Xehanort's plan: Ansem manipulates Maleficent into gathering the seven Princesses of Heart, while Xemnas and Xigbar found Organization XIII with the intent to turn its thirteen members into vessels for Xehanort's heart. But anticipating that the Organization members would prove unsuitable as vessels, Ansem travels back in time due to lacking as body and approaches Xehanort in his youth, granting him the ability to move forward in time and tasks him with gathering many incarnations of himself from throughout time.

In the meantime, Ansem and Xemnas each attempt to obtain the power of Kingdom Hearts. Ansem manipulates the Heartless into consuming the hearts of many worlds which created Kingdom Hearts in the End of the World's depths from the lost hearts, while Xemnas had Roxas and Xion collect hearts from Emblem Heartless and later manipulated Sora into doing the same which created Kingdom Hearts above The World That Never Was' sky from people's hearts. However, their plans are both thwarted by Sora and his friends, and both incarnations of Xehanort are destroyed.

Kingdom Hearts coded

When Mickey returns to the Mysterious Tower, Yen Sid explains that the destruction of Ansem and Xemnas will inevitably lead to Xehanort's resurrection. Musing that Xehanort will have left himself many paths to take and cryptically suggesting that there may be more than one version of Xehanort to contend with, Yen Sid instructs Mickey to summon Sora and Riku to the tower to take the Mark of Mastery exam.

At the same time, Terra revives separately from Master Xehanort. Xehanort had Terra's heart moved to the Dark Figure and then Terra-Xehanort's heart from the past infused into Terra's empty body. Following this, Young Xehanort arrived in Radiant Garden to return Braig and another former member of the Organization to Nobody state.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

As part of Master Xehanort's plan to fill the thirteenth seat in his new Organization, his incarnations intefere with the Mark of Mastery Exam to capture either Sora or Riku. Once Sora is put to sleep under a Nightmare's guard, Master Xehanort calls the Organization together. While he is materializing, Young Xehanort keeps Riku at bay. However, Mickey freezes the Organization with Stopza. Unfortunately, Master Xehanort possesses the body of his younger incarnation, allowing him to move and to summon a Keyblade, holding off Riku until Mickey's magic wore off.

Master Xehanort arrives, admitting using only two hearts to create the χ-blade was too hasty. He reveals the χ-blade was divided at the conclusion of the Keyblade War into thirteen darknesses and seven lights. To gather the amount of hearts he needed, he tricked Maleficent into gathering the seven pure lights and created the Organization to hold pieces of his heart to serve as the thirteen darknesses. Due to Sora and Riku's interference and the unforeseen independence or weakness of a number of Organization members, the two-part plan had failed. However, having given Young Xehanort the ability to travel through time, Xehanort has brought about the creation of a new Organization XIII made up of himself, his other incarnations, and vessels that harbor pieces of his heart, which he intends to pit against the "Seven Lights".

Xehanort moves in to place a fragment of his heart inside Sora, but the arrival of Lea, Donald, and Goofy stalls the Organization long enough that they are forced to retreat, each member returning to his own time. As Master Xehanort fades, he tells his opponents that both the seven of light and the thirteen of darkness will have their numbers filled when the time comes.

Although Yen Sid and Mickey agree that they will be playing into Xehanort's hands, they resolve to gather seven Keyblade-wielding Guardians of Light, rather than endanger the Princesses of Heart.

Kingdom Hearts III

After Ansem, Xemnas, Dark Riku, and Vanitas vanished back into their respective pasts, Master Xehanort retreated to the Keyblade Graveyard with Saïx and Xigbar; Terra-Xehanort left on stand by, Luxord went looking for the Black Box, and Marluxia and Larxene went looking for the New Seven Hearts.

After reminiscing about his meeting with the Master of Masters, Xehanort discusses with Xigbar and Saïx how they would fill the second half of their new Organization. Saïx explains that they would turn Vexen and Demyx back into Nobodies to serve as reserve members, refine the replicas for housing the time traveling hearts, and recreate the lost replica No i to take Sora's place, as it is connected to the Sora's memories. Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind

Once all the seven guardians have been found they travel to the Keyblade Graveyard where Xehanort waits. He appears alongside Ansem, Xemnas, Vanitas, and his younger self, giving a similar speech to the one he gave Eraqus many years ago. The group summons a massive horde of Heartless, Nobodies, and Unversed to stall the guardians before departing.

Once the guardians make it back to the Keyblade Graveyard, Xehanort and the rest of the real Organization XIII confront them at the crossroads where he once confronted Terra, Aqua and Ventus. He states that the secrets of the Keyblade War will finally be unlocked, then summons No Name and creates a sprawling labyrinth known as The Skein of Severance as the battleground for the final clash, signifying the beginning of the war. Xehanort himself remains on a larger pillar behind the labyrinth to observe the coming battles.

After defeating nine of the thirteen darknesses, Sora, Riku, and King Mickey arrive at the Tower of Endings at the end of the labyrinth, where they are confronted by Young Xehanort, Ansem, and Xemnas. Xehanort informs them that the nine clashes beforehand have produced nine keys, taking the form of the No Name and that the remaining four will be forged with the final four battles, waving off the heroes' hopeful protestations. Young Xehanort, Ansem, and Xemnas then attack the group.

After a difficult battle, in which Master Xehanort frequently interferes via a storm of Keyblades, his three past selves are defeated, yielding three keys. He declares that only one more key is needed, uses No Name to summon Kingdom Hearts, and beckons Sora to battle him. While Sora initially refuses, Xehanort reveals Kairi and destroys her body to motivate Sora. Sora, Riku, and Mickey all attempt to attack Xehanort, but are easily repelled.

As the thirteenth key appears, Xehanort rises into the air and points No Name at Kingdom Hearts. The thirteen keys forged by the clashes combine, transforming No Name into the completed χ-blade. With the χ-blade finally in hand, Xehanort bids Kingdom Hearts to open and show him a new world. A ray of darkness emanates from the χ-blade and strikes Kingdom Hearts, consuming it with darkness.

Sora doubts that they can defeat Xehanort now that he controls Kingdom Hearts, but is reassured by the arrival of the rest of the guardians of light. Riku states that as Xehanort can travel through time, he acts as a portal, which can be used to trap him. Sora volunteers to stop Xehanort, aided by Donald and Goofy, while everyone else keeps Kingdom Hearts under control. Sora surprises Xehanort by opening the portal within him, transporting the four of them to a memory of Scala ad Caelum.

Unbeknownst to the guardians, Xehanort takes seven fragments of Kairi's surviving heart and scatters five of them across Scala ad Caelum, having hidden the remaining two within the hearts of Riku and Mickey, all as a final resort to ensure Kingdom Hearts can be opened through the power of the Princesses of Heart. During this time, Xehanort encounters a future version of Sora, who has used the power of waking to travel from the past and restore Kairi's heart. Noticing that Sora is beginning to fade from existence as a consequence of his power, Xehanort taunts that Sora has nearly run out of time as his present counterpart arrives with Donald and Goofy. Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind

After Sora defeats the Replica Xehanorts, Xehanort appears again and explains that Scala ad Caelum used to be the seat of power for all Keyblade wielders, and that he and his other selves can reunite here. Xehanort proceeds to absorb the replicas, granting him a set of Keyblade Armor. Summoning No Name, he proceeds to reshape the world to trap Sora, Donald, and Goofy, and engages them in battle. After a grueling battle both within the town and under its waters, Xehanort's armor is destroyed, but he escapes through a Corridor to the peak of the town. Sora, Donald, and Goofy pursue him to the tower, where he summons the χ-blade, summons Kingdom Hearts once again, and challenges the three to a final battle. Eventually, Xehanort uses the power of both Kingdom Hearts and the χ-blade to nearly slay Sora, but he is called back by Donald and Goofy. Together, they use the Keyblade and the power of friendship to break through Xehanort's attack and deal a blow that pierces Xehanort through the chest, mortally wounding him.

Sora urges Xehanort to admit defeat, but Xehanort states that it's too late. Xehanort reveals that Kingdom Hearts will trigger a purge, destroying all Worlds and returning them to their original state, giving them a new beginning where he may shepherd all those who would pollute the world with the darkness that sprouts endlessly within their hearts. Sora rebukes him, stating that a true leader would know that destiny cannot be controlled, reminding Xehanort of Eraqus.

The rest of the guardians of light arrive, having followed their hearts to find Sora. Terra approaches Master Xehanort and reminds him that there's more to light than meets the eye, causing Xehanort to remember that Eraqus's heart has been with Terra all along. Eraqus emerges from within Terra and tells Xehanort to hand the χ-blade over. Xehanort initially refuses to admit defeat, but Eraqus declares checkmate.

Finally accepting that he has lost, Xehanort hands the χ-blade to Sora. After silently observing the reunion between Terra, Aqua, Ventus, and Eraqus, he finally succumbs to his injuries, but is supported by Eraqus before he collapses. Eraqus asks his old friend if he is ready, and Xehanort assents. The two briefly take on the appearances of their past selves, share one last laugh, then finally depart for the afterlife together.

Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory

When Kairi finds herself in a memory of the Final World, she encounters a vision of Master Xehanort. As the two fight, Xehanort admits Kairi has grown as a Keyblade wielder but gloats that she will be unable to find clues to Sora's whereabouts in her current state. He overpowers her and nearly delivers the final blow, but Sora takes control of her body and defeats him, restoring the final fragment of her heart to her body. Before disappearing, Xehanort gives her a clue to Sora's whereabouts by recounting the words he, as Terra-Xehanort, had told her before sending her away from Radiant Garden.

Xemnas - The Superior of In-Between

Xemnas, also known as the Superior of the In-Between, is the Nobody of Terra-Xehanort and a major 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 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.

Plan

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 Marluxia and Larxene conspiring against him in their attempt to take over the Organization along 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.

Dream Drop Distance

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.

Kingdom Hearts III

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. Unbeknownst to him, Saix was later revealed to have worked behind the scenes against him for his plot for atonement (alongside Vexen and Demyx). 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.

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix

Xemnas, known as the Unknown in this game, appears as a secret boss in Hollow Bastion. He manifests after Sora arrives in the End of the World in the same room Maleficent was defeated in.

At the start of this battle, Xemnas initially attacks with three attacks: twin spirit bombs, an Ethereal Blade combo, and a damaging shield. However, as his health dwindles, he begins to fire his Ethereal Blades at the party, teleporting along the way, and eventually charging himself with energy and firing rays of nothingness. His most infamous attack involves cursing Sora and draining his health. The only way Sora could break free is to choose Release in a rapid roulette.

Kingdom Hearts II First battle

Before fighting Xemnas as the final boss, he tests Sora in a one-on-one fight. At the start of the fight, he curses Sora with an aura that drains his health. Sora should go to the top of the Memory's Skyscraper and use the Reaction Command "Facedown" to break free.

When colliding with Xemnas as he falls from the building as Sora is moving up, three Reaction Commands will appear over time, the first of which, "Clash", will cause Sora to pass Xemnas harmlessly. The second one, "Breakthrough", will cause Sora to attack Xemnas with a single attack, while the last one, which appears at the last second, will cause Sora to attack Xemnas several times and slam him into the skyscraper. Xemnas fights by teleporting around Sora, using Guard to repel Sora back and make himself temporarily invincible and swings his Ethereal Blades in perfect unison to constantly attack Sora.

After the test Xemnas calls upon the power of the hearts to help him get stronger and he leaves. Afterward, Kingdom Hearts opens the door to Xemnas, marking a point of no return.

Final battle phase 1

After Sora opens the door and enters he has to go through a series of challenges before getting to Xemnas. After the trials are over, Sora and party find Xemnas at the top of a robotic dragon sitting on a throne in full body armor. He uses a sword that attacks whoever touches it at least five times then sends them flying. He also uses the Guard ability to keep the party from attacking. After he is defeated, Sora and party find themselves back at the tower that they were at originally, and think they have won. A portal is created to help everyone get back to safety when Xemnas keeps Sora and Riku from getting through.

Final battle phase 2

When Sora and Riku find themselves trapped on a little Nobody ship, Xemnas sends his dragon and Nobodies to attack them. After bringing the dragon down, Xemnas takes them to another place in space. While the fight is the same as the previous one he launches Sora to the farthest place in the stage and sends lasers after him. Also, while Sora is fighting Xemnas, Xemnas has the ability to use all of the other Organization member's powers at the same time.

Final battle phase 3

Xemnas takes his gloves off in this last fight against Sora and Riku. He has the ability to teleport, to melt into the ground, and to fly. He constantly attacks Sora with lasers and lighting and sets off a huge series of Reaction Commands that Sora needs to complete to receive little to no damage.

Throughout the fight, Xemnas will make a copy of himself to confuse Sora and will have the second act as a decoy. Late in the fight, Xemnas will capture Sora in an inescapable ray and Riku has to free Sora while fighting off the second Xemnas. On his last health bar, Xemnas will unleash his ultimate attack.

The battlefield will turn dark and Sora and Riku become surrounded by lasers on all sides. Sora and Riku have to deflect the lasers for a few seconds and one mistake in blocking the lasers will result in certain death. After Sora and Riku successfully defend against all the lasers, Xemnas starts to attack Riku, who is saved by Sora. Then, Sora and Riku together attack Xemnas with the unlocking beam of the Keyblade that goes through him. After the strike, Xemnas is paralyzed leaving Riku and Sora with an easy finishing move. Xemnas curses the Keyblade and passes with his hand stretched out toward Sora and Riku and breaks into nothing.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Xemnas is Sora's final boss, but not the game's final boss. Here, he reprises his old attacks, like roundhouse kicks, Ethereal Blade combos, barriers, and Ethereal Blade projectiles. However, he now has the ability to trap Sora in a cage of barriers, and can hurl skyscrapers at him.

Kingdom Hearts III

Xemnas, Young Xehanort, and Ansem confront Sora, Riku, and Mickey as the game's antepenultimate bosses, with faraway assistance from Master Xehanort.

Xigbar - The Freeshooter

Xigbar, the Freeshooter, is the second member of Organization XIII and the secondary antagonist of the Kingdom Hearts series, acting as one of the secondary antagonists of Kingdom Hearts II , Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and 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 Master of Masters' apprentices (alongside 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.

Xigbar was once Luxu, an apprentice to the Master of Masters. One day, before the Master disappeared, he bequeathed Luxu a Keyblade engraved with his Gazing Eye and instructed him to pass the Keyblade on from apprentice to apprentice. However, Luxu was also ordered to keep watch over the Keyblade until a fated "Dark Master" appears to reenact the Keyblade War, passing his heart from body to body. Eventually, Luxu discovered this Dark Master, Master Xehanort, and decided to ally with Xehanort in order to see the Keyblade War through and reunite with the Foretellers.

As Braig, Luxu works as an apprentice of Ansem the Wise in Radiant Garden, and poses as a braggart seeking the Keyblade's power to join Xehanort's side. 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.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

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.

Kingdom Hearts II Appearance at Hollow Bastion

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.

The Land of Dragons

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.

The World That Never Was

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

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.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

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.

Kingdom Hearts III

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.

However in the remind DLC the scene continues with Luxord appearing to confront him using a riddle, Xigbar tells Luxord to do his tasks but Luxord simply reminds Xigbar that he is always carrying out his orders from his higher ups but also states he cant help himself but observe his opponents strategies. he further asks him why the Black box is suddenly important to the Organization and if it was either Xemnas and Xehanort who gave out the order. Luxord quickly rules out Xehanort stating he only cares about the clash between the seven lights and thirteen darknesses and as such having little interest in the black box. Leaving Xemnas and the one who informed Luxord of his task Xigbar him self. Xigbar denies informing him of task stating it was Xemnas that gave him his task. However Luxord states his inquires suggested otherwise causing Xigbar to get nervous figuring out that Luxord asked Xemnas of the box. Luxord begins to question of his intentions with the box, Xigbar lies to him stating he does not know what is inside the box but states he heard the it contains important secrets of past Keyblade wielders when Luxord asks him where did he hear about this Xigbar continues to lies to him stating he does not know. Beginning to be suspicious of Xigbar, Luxord throws a card to him which Xigbar catches. Luxord begins to interrogate him further stating that he is in a rush to secure it before others such as Maleficent and Pete find it to keep his secret connection to the black box from those around him he finally asks him who his real identity was. When Xigbar refuses to answer aside from glaring at him, Luxord lets his guard down stating it doesnt matter to him altogether, he states he will continue to pretend to feign ignorance before he teleports away. After this, Xigbar asks aloud who Luxord's true identity was.

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 as according to her Xigbar refuses to tell anyone about the black box.

Once the fated battle at the Keyblade Graveyard finally arrives, Xigbar appears with Dark Riku on two different occasions first he walks by Dark Riku's side after the former taunts his counterpart, telling Riku that he was making sure he want on the path toward a second failure amd informs the guardians if they have what it takes against they Organization they will have to prove it Xehanort one final time, he then turns to Dark Riku telling him to "take it away" before disappearing, he later joins Dark Riku and Ansem against Riku and Sora at the Trail of Valediction. 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, a still-alive Xigbar retrieves Xehanort's Keyblade and summons four of the Foretellers. Revealing himself to be their erstwhile companion Luxu, Xigbar 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 - The Whirlwind Lancer

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 was present with the rest of the Organization when Xemnas inducts Xion into the Organization and when Xemnas and the others overlook Kingdom Hearts. Much later, he was present with the remaining members when some of the Organization members were defeated (being Vexen, Larxene, Lexaeus, Marluxia and Zexion) along with Xion's disappearance, Xaldin asks Xemnas where she has headed to but Xemnas responds by referring to Xion as in "It" than "she" due to her being a replica. Xaldin asks Xemnas to explain about the replica program to the rest of the members. When Xemnas orders Axel to retrieve Xion and bring her back alive, Xaldin protests this stating he would rather just eliminate her for deserting the Organization, however Saïx informs him that she isn't a deserter but that she was a flawed replica who gained an identity of her own, before he leaves he states that bringing her back alive would be "sheer madness".

Xaldin was also present when Xemnas gave Axel the order to eliminate Roxas after he defected from the Organization, Axel protests about this but Xaldin reminds him that he was ruthless to those who turn on the Organization. When Axel tries to explain otherwise, he send the order home by sending one of his lances into the backrest of Axel's chair, inches from his head. However, Axel still refuses to do so, so Xemnas threatens to eliminate him as well if he does not comply. Xaldin also appears with, Xemnas, Xigbar, Saïx, Luxord and Demyx to confront and taunt Sora, Donald and Goofy. He laughs with the rest of the Organization at Xemnas' mockery of Sora before disappearing. After this confrontation, Xaldin appears with his fellow members in the meeting room, expressing doubt that Sora is capable of wielding a Keyblade stating that he's "nothing but a boy", but Xigbar points out that unlike them Sora is pure of heart. He then breaks up an argument between Xigbar and Demyx by mocking the latter's display of emotion and asking the last time anyone of them felt anything much to Luxord's disappointment.

Xaldin secretly begins his attempt to manipulate the Beast's rage to create a powerful Nobody and Heartless. He first convinces the drained Beast that Belle is plotting against him and telling him to trust one and to feed his anger as his anger will only keep him strong. When the Beast tells him he has enough strength he mocks him by tell him no one could ever love a Beast causing him to snap at him before disappearing. Sora and his company arrive in the room but he only attacks them but Sora is able to knock him back to his senses. After Sora and the Beast defeat the Heartless in the castle he appears once more causing the Beast to charge at him but disappears once again, When he asks what he wants Sora explains his plan to turn him into a heartless. Xaldin appears with the remainder of the Organization after Demyx's defeat where Saïx reveals to them that Sora knows the truth of their plan. When Luxord explains that things are in motion, Xaldin adds that nothing is set in stone and that the dice are not in his favor he will "share Demyx's fate". Xigbar then asks Xemnas if defeating Sora will impact the Organization's plans, Xemnas explains that if Sora dies so easily he will no longer be useful to them to which Xaldin states that's what he wanted to hear, as it's not in his nature to hold back.

When Sora and company return to the Beast's castle, the Beast and Belle prepare to have their private dance but are interrupted by Xaldin who summons more heartless for the group to defeat causing the Beast's anger to rise before leaving he tells the Beast to het his anger grow. After this, Sora and Beast confront Xaldin now with the rose in his possession and taunting the former, when Sora asks what he really wants he explains when Kingdom Hearts is complete the nobodies can exist fully and completely and explains why he needs Beast as a nobody. 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. He reappears in Kingdom Hearts III in an non speaking role where he has returned to his post as a castle guard. He and Aeleus first search for Even but do not find him, unaware he had returned into his nobody Vexen as a member of Real Organization XIII. He was shocked to see Ansem the Wise return along with the others expressing regret for betraying him until Aeleus comforts him. He is last seen escorting Namine in the end once she was restored to greet Riku. Xaldin however makes a cameo in a flashback at the time the original Organization's formation when Dark Riku explains the story behind Master Xehanort forming the Real Organization to Sora.

Vexen - The Chilly Academic

Vexen, the Chilly Academic (いてつく学究, Itetsuku Gakkyū?, lit. Freezing Scholar), is a major antagonist-turned-anti-hero 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. Despite being recompleted he willingly opted to become a nobody again as a reserve member of Real Organization XIII after being approached by Saïx to continue his research the two would ultimately work together to atone for their past misdeeds

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

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.

Between Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days

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.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

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.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories

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.

Ultimately he and later Larxene, Lexaeus, Marluxia and Zexion all turned out to be pawns that fell victim to Axel's plot of raising Saïx through the ranks of the Organization.

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix

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.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Even is resurrected following the destruction of his Heartless and Vexen. Though conscious again, Even is unstable, so Aeleus has him rest.

Kingdom Hearts III

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 with the help of Hayner, Pence and Olette and reveals his desire to atone. Later, he recruits Demyx (who has also been benched) to help him in plans by offering him a chance to atone himself for his past misdeeds by delivering 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 - The Silent Hero and Taciturn Stalwart

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.

Birth by Sleep

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.

Chain of Memories

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 opposing Marluxia and Larxene's plan of overtaking the Organization with Sora as their puppet.

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.

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix

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.

Dream Drop Distance

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 - The Cloaked Schemer

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.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

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.

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days

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.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain Of Memories Discovering Riku

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.

Opposition to Marluxia

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.

Confronting Riku

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.

Ultimately, Zexion along Vexen, Lexeaus, Vexen, Marluxia and Larxene were all pawns that fell victim to Axel's plot of raising Saïx through the ranks of the Organization.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories manga

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 on, 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.

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix

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.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

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.

Kingdom Hearts III

Although Zexion doesn't appear in this game, Ienzo is nonetheless referred to as his Nobody by Demyx when the latter delivers Ansem the Wise back to Radiant Garden, much to Ienzo's shock. Ienzo is also referred to as Zexion by Xemnas at the Keyblade Graveyard where he was among those responsible for reviving Roxas by placing his heart into another vessel. Zexion however does make a cameo in a flashback when Dark Riku explains the purpose of Organization XIII to Sora.

Saïx - The Lunar Diviner

Saïx, the Luna Diviner, is one of the secondary antagonists in the Kingdom Hearts series. He serves as one of the secondary antagonists in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts II, a minor antagonist in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, and a major antagonist turned anti-hero 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.

Kingdom Hearts 352/2 Days

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". Those who fell victim to this plot were Marluxia (who attempted to take control of the Organization for himself by manipulating Sora through Namine) Larxene (who co-conspired with Marluxia), Zexion, Vexen and Lexaeus (the latter three who countered Marluxia's plot by using the Riku Replica).

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". At one point when Axel and Roxas return with an unconscious Xion he insults her by calling her "it" this prompts Roxas to call him out about it and Axel to angrily tell him to keep his mouth shut as they walk off leaving Saïx to ponder how Axel has changed.

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.

Kingdom Hearts II Twilight Town

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.

The Heartless Invasion

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).

The World That Never Was

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.

Kingdom Hearts Re:coded

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.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

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.

Kingdom Hearts III

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 would the begin to work with Vexen to atone for his past misdeeds against Roxas and Axel. Meanwhile, as Saïx is one of the chosen and thus having to lay low, Vexen helps set their plot into motion by recruiting Demyx (who was also a reserve member) into acting on his behalf by delivering a vessel along with Ansem the Wise to Ienzo as Vexen acts on Saix's behalf.

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 by saying Axel and Roxas's names. Xion is overwhelmed by emotions, but shakes them off and attacks Lea and Kairi in a frenzied rage before Sora's arrival. 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 orders Xion to finish him off, but Sora intervenes and fully restores Xion's memories. In response to Xion's redemption, Xemnas prepares to kill 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. Interestingly, by doing this he (and Vexen) indirectly assisted in Lea in achieving his goal of finding a way to bring his friends back.

Sometime after in the game's epilogue Isa is reborn as his 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 - The Flurry of Dancing Flames

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 Japanese and Quinton Flynn in English.

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.

Befriending Roxas

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".

In Castle Oblivion

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. Having plotted with Saix to eliminate other Organization member to rise through the ranks, he joins Marluxia and Larxene in conspiring to overthrow Xemnas by using Sora as their puppet, in order to gain their trust he kills Vexen on Marluxia's orders, upon gaining their trust he allowed Namine to escape, shortly after Larxene's defeat, Marluxia discovers that Axel acted as double agent in their plan, citing his role in elimination traitors in the organization Axel prepares to eliminate Marluxia but the latter summons Namine as a shield to prevent Axel from killing him, Unfazed Axel tells Marluxia that it wont do him any good, just then Marluxia manipulates Sora as he arrives, stating Axel was after to get Namine Axel persuades Sora not to fight him. but Sora states he will fight Marluxia after he is finished with him, he then fights Sora only to be defeated but Axel simply disappears instead of dying. 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. Roxas Leaves the Organization

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.

Meeting Roxas Again

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.

Baiting Sora

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 with Hayner, Pence and Olette. However, Axel finds her and hands her over to Saïx. Xemnas suspects Axel's motives, and thinks Axel will soon defect from the Organization.

Defection

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.

Reincarnation

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.

In Kingdom Heats III, Lea continues his training with Kairi in the secret forest. a place in which time does not run giving Kairi and Lea as long as they need to continue training , he appears next to her while she is writing a letter to Sora whom she states that it its more her than it is for Sora. Lea then gives her a sea-salt Ice cream much Kairi's surprise, Lea states he has done this out of celebration for him and Kairi now that they have become Keyblade wielders, Kairi then notices Lea staring at her and asks him if he had forgotten something to which he admits, changing the subject Kairi expresses excitement for their duel into the ring telling Lea not to hold back but at that exact moment Lea remembers Xion, Overwhelmed by this he begins to get upset leading Kairi to comfort him, but he brushes it off as something, he begins to leave with Kairi telling him to stop apologizing for him kidnaping her previously while he was still in the Organization, he states he will under one condition, Kairi has to call Lea, Axel from now on to which she accepts.

Later on top of Twilight Tower, Lea is sitting alone with sea-salt ice cream which is one for Roxas and one for Xion upset about , Saïx appears but talks to him as if they were still friends with no intention of fighting him he takes a sea-salf ice cream from Lea much to his annoyance Saïx asks him why he bought three something which Lea refuses to respond and instead asks what Saïx is doing here to which the former states his signature catchphrase "got it memorized?" they have a conversation about joining the organization while they were somebodies the two of them befriended a girl known as Subject X who was held inside the castle of Radiant Garden following her disappearance they become apprentices for Ansem the Wise after he too vanished they became nobodies and members of Organization XIII. Saïx states the real reason from climbing up the ranks and following Xemnas was their only means of finding her however unfortunately for them they had no luck in finding her, Lea then attempts to persuade Saïx in leaving the Organization , Saïx states that Roxas is just like Subject X, whom is gone forever and that he needs to accept that but an enraged Lea states he will be bringing everyone back especially Roxas he even states he will be dragging Saïx home. Saïx then changes the subject to which Lea's upside-down tear markings are missing, which have stopped him from crying. Lea states he doesnt need them anymore. Lea and Saïx then part ways expected to fight each other at the Keyblade Graveyard for the fated final battle.

Lea joins the the other Guardians of Light to fight against Master Xehanort and his thirteen darknesses fighting thousands of Heartless and Nobodies along the way, eventually they encounter Terra-Xehanort. Terra-Xehanort then attempts to attack Kairi but Lea throws himself in between them protecting her ending up unconscious he and the others minus Sora are taken from a swarm of heartless and hearts are separated from their bodies. though Sora eventually manages to get his heart back and go back in time before their encounter with Terra Xehanort.

Lea and Kairi later fight against Saix and a hooded Xion, Sora soon comes to their aid and Saix uses his Beserk mode and overpowers Lea who steps in the way to prevent him from killing Sora and Kairi. Saix was about to kill his former friend but Xemnas appears still angry at Axel for betraying the organization prepares to kill him but Xion stops him claiming he needs him alive but Xemnas states he need his heart to forge the key and that he doesn't need his soul but having noticed the two were friends he gives the task of killing him to her, Lea then wonders who the hooded member is she prepares to strike hiim down but Sora intervenes calling Xion's name in Roxas' voice causing her to be overwhelmed with past memories. Enraged, Xemnas kicks Xion and Sora causing the former to reveal her face and Lea is overwhelmed by his memories of Xion, Xemnas prepares to kill Xion but Lea tries to stop him by grabbing his leg only or the Nobody to stomp on his foot.

Suddenly, a heart escapes from Sora and with a vessel provided by Vexen, Roxas returns telling Xemnas to lay his hands off his friends much to Lea's joy after explaining his return to Xemnas, the latter kidnaps Kairi and leaves forcing the three former Organization XIII members and Sora to fight Saix but Xion tells Lea to rest due to his injuries. after Roxas Xion and Sora defeat Saix, Lea runs over to him expressing his disgust on what the Organization reduced him to. Saix explains to Lea he joined in search of their missing friend he expresses his anger at Lea that he went on to make friends with Roxas and Xion leaving Isa and their friend in the dust he explains he lost all sense of purpose, Lea tries to reassure him he didn't forget about him, Saix admitted deep down he wasn't the type of person and that he was only jealous of him, having made amends with his former friend they call each other by their real names before the latter is recompleted as his former self. After this he tells Sora to go find Kairi as he Roxas and Xion have an emotional reunion.

Later he along with Roxas, Xion, Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Donald and Goofy regroup with Sora Riku and Mickey but were too late as Xehanort had killed Kairi and opened Kingdom Hearts moments earlier, As Sora prepares for his final battle with Xehanort, Lea and the other use their keyblades on Xehanort trapping him in Scala ad Caelum. after Xehanort's defeat at the hands of Sora, Donald and Goofy, he passes on with Master Eraqus in to Kingdom Hearts, Lea joins the others into closing it and are transported back into the Keyblade Graveyard.

In the games epilogue, Lea, Roxas and Xion are on top of Twilight Tower finally reunited they are joined by a restored Isa who hands out sea-salt ice cream to the trio. the foursome are joined by Hayner, Pence and Ollette sitting altogether and staring into the sunset, the seven of them are picked up by Riku and are taken to Destiny Islands for a celebration with the other guardians of light. Sora manages to bring back Kairi and Lea and the others bear witness to Sora and Kairi spending one last moment together before Sora fades away from misusing the power of waking.

Demyx - The Melodious Nocturne

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 later returns as a reserve member of real Organization XIII.

He is voiced by Kenichi Suzumura in Japanese and by Ryan O'Donohue in English.

Past

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.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

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.

Kingdom Hearts II

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.

Kingdom Hearts III

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 as both of them were benched. While Demyx counters by claiming he and Vexen never knew each other and was reluctant to backstab the Organization despite his laziness. Vexen explains that this is exactly why Demyx is perfect for the role as well as offering him a chance of redemption. He is convinced to help him when Vexen reveals to him Saïx was involved with their plan and that he would be doing more reconnaissance as opposed to being benched. 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. Riku at first was ready to fight him but Demyx shows Riku his gummiphone to proves his affiliations with Ienzo Overconfident, Riku told him that it was not just any vessel and that it had to be delivered to Radiant Garden safely as it contains important memories. As a result, Namine became whole. What happens to Demyx afterwards remains unknown but it's very likely he was recompleted as his original self as part of his redemption.

Luxord - The Gambler of Fate

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.

Early life

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.

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days

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.

Kingdom Hearts II Hollow Bastion

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.

Port Royal

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.

Where Nothing Gathers

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.".

The World that Never Was

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?".

Kingdom Hearts III

Luxord returns in Kingdom Hearts III as a member of the real Organization XIII and noticeably sports golden eyes like the other members.

He was first seen with Xigbar in Thebes, riddling him why finding the Black Box was suddenly important. He grew doubtful that it was Xemnas (the former whom Luxord inquired about it) or Xehanort (the latter whom Luxord states only cares about the clashes between the seven lights and thirteen darknesses) who gave the order since Xigbar brought it up in the first place. He also suspects Xigbar of having been in a hurry to get box before anyone can get to it having noticed Maleficent and Pete are also in search for it, Leaving the scene with no choice but to feign ignorance, he begun to wonder who Xigbar really was. After he leaves Xigbar questions who Luxord himself really was.

Later during a meeting with some the organization's members, Luxord appears with Larxene, Marluxia and Demyx questioning Xemnas if they were brought back to "rot away on the bottom rung" much Larxene's frustration who isn't happy to see him asks Luxord if this "Organization Rehash", Luxord responds with stating he has an important role to play and that he wasn't benched indirectly mocking Demyx for being benched much to Demyx's frustration for Luxord's eavesdropping. Larxene then questions him about Xigbar's role in searching the of the box, but Luxord having confronted Xigbar about the black box earlier simply tells her to ask Xigbar himself. Luxord then shifts his attention Xemnas asking him the real reason for bring them all back stating he didn't being them back for "old times sake", Xemnas states that he along with Marluxia, Larxene and Demyx are going the reveal their greatest secret the ancient keyblade legacy that slumbers within them much to the foursome's suprise.

After being briefed by Vexen, Luxord goes about continuing to find 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 and 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 using 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.

Powers, skills & weapons

Luxord uses his attribute, time, and weapon cards, in unorthodoxly formidable ways that make him not one of the most powerful members of the Organization but the trickiest to defeat. In Kingdom Hearts II, he uses his power of time manipulation to force Sora to play timed games where both of them have time bars but Luxord doesn't have a health bar of his own, giving him an advantage as Sora has to watch both his time bar and HP while Luxord has no such needs. He is able to restore his time bar by winning a game with Sora when at the last of it while greatly reducing Sora's time. He uses his very flexible card weapons, called Fair Game, that vary in size, as his main means of attack, able to turn himself into a giant card and hide among similar cards as well as seamlessly shift between them for quick evasion, turn his enemies into cards or trap them inside one, throw flurries of razor-sharp cards at an enemy or surround himself with them and then spin around, create defensive barriers, and at times by will can warp reality. The Reaction Command "Flip" causes the cards to vanish, but some of them have a booby trap (represented by a symbol on the one side of the card) that "Flip" triggers. He can also use them as sleight of hand cover, or to disorient his enemies.

In Kingdom Hearts III, Luxord displays a fair amount of skill in captaining a ship and the power to summon Heartless ships at will, using these abilities to challenge the Leviathan. When fighting at the Keyblade Graveyard, upon being empowered by Xemnas, Luxord traps Mickey inside a card and surrounds Sora in the center of many cards and could teleport Marluxia and Larxene if attacked.

Marluxia - The Graceful Assassin

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 who was first introduced in Kingdom Hearts χ. 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. He appears as the main antagonist of Chain of Memories and a supporting antagonist in Kingdom Hearts III.

In the original Japanese version, he was voiced by Shūichi 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).

Before Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

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.

358/2 Days

Marluxia appears as a playable character in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and teaches Roxas a few things about fighting. He was also present when Xemnas introduced Xion into the Organization.

Chain of Memories

Marluxia makes his first official appearance as the main antagonist of Sora's story mode.

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. At the same time Zexion, Vexen and Lexaeus find out about this plot and counter his and Larxene's plans by having Vexen offer them help by using the Riku Replica against Sora. However, Vexen is killed by Axel after his defeat against Sora to prevent him of revealing their plans, Larxene is eventually killed by Sora, Goofy and Donald when the former confronts them about ruining their plans, and Axel betrays him, with the latter attempting to kill him on the account that his role is to eliminate traitors in the Organization, 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.

Ultimately, Marluxia along with Larxene, Vexen, Zexion and Lexaeus all fall victim to Axel's plot of raising Saïx through the ranks of the organization. It was later revealed that Saïx had knowledge of him and Larxene's plan of overthrowing Xemnas which is why they were sent there alongside other "useless" members for Axel to eliminate them all.

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix

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.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Despite being recompleted into Lauriam, he was approached by Young Xehanort to become a member of the real Organization XIII and transformed back into his Nobody.

A hooded Marluxia appears with his fellow Organization members in Where Nothing Gather to witness Master Xehanort's return and for the him to induct Sora into the Organization as their final member, however he along with the rest was forced to retreat when Lea, Donald and Goofy stall their allotted time.

Kingdom Hearts III

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 also was aware that Saïx had brought Vexen on board to continue their plan on using replica's for the Organization, stating that the replicas (as in the case with Dark Riku) were human enough to join their ranks, Marluxia remained unaware of Saix and Vexen's true intentions on using the replica program. 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 - The Savage Nymph

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, 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.

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days

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. she gathers with the other organization members when Xion is inducted into the organization and soon was tasked on training Roxas, Sora's Nobody on how to wield magic and loathed every moment of doing so. Eventually she joins Marluxia in his plot to overthrow Xemnas as they are assigned to Castle Oblivion to manipulate and control Sora.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

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.

Ultimately, she along with Marluxia, Zexion, Vexen and Lexaeus were ultimately pawns in Axel's plot of raising Saïx through the ranks of the Organization, Saix himself was revealed to have knowledge of her and Marluxia's plot of over throwing Xemnas and thus were sent to Castle Oblivion along with the other "useless" members alongside Axel so he can eliminate them all.

Kingdom Hearts II

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.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Although she was recompleted back into Elrena, she becomes a member of Real Organization XIII after encountering Young Xehanort.

A hooded Larxene was present with her fellow Organization members at Where Nothing Gathers to witness Master Xehanort's return and to watch him attempt to turn Sora into their final member, however she along with everyone else was forced to retreat after Lea, Donald and Goofy sabotage their efforts in inducting Sora into the Organization.

Kingdom Hearts III

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, while also keeping the trio at bay from interacting with the Snow Queen. However, Anna's actions cause her to think Anna could be the Princess she is looking for. Ultimately, she learns that both Anna and Elsa are Princesses of Heart, and leaves to report this information to Xehanort but not before smugly lying to Sora that the Organization has their thirteen darknesses.

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. the former mocking her for their failed attempt of overthrowing the first Organization, causing her to make fun of him when he revealed he was benched by the replicas and the latter explaining he had an important role to play 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.

Vanitas

Vanitas, also known as The Masked Boy, is a major antagonists of the Kingdom Hearts series. appearing as the secondary antagonist of Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep and a supporting antagonist in Kingdom Hearts III.

Vanitas is a Keyblade wielder, Master Xehanort's apprentice, Ventus' dark embodiment, and is the cause of infestations of the Unversed in various worlds. He is also a member of the real Organization XIII.

He is voiced by Miyu Irino in Japanese and Haley Joel Osment in English, both of whom also voice Sora. As Ventus-Vanitas, his voice is blended with those of Kouki Uchiyama in Japanese and Jesse McCartney in English, both of whom also voice Ventus and Roxas.

Birth By Sleep novels

In the novels, Vanitas' life between his creation and the events of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep is expanded upon. At first, Vanitas was a faceless being much like a Heartless but with red eyes, that felt sad for his separation from Ventus. However, that sadness soon turned to hate and contempt for what he considered his weakness. In a way, Vanitas hated himself for being so weak.

Vanitas was well aware of his existence, and soon started questioning why he was born, and every time he felt something, an Unversed would come to be. This caused him to be irritated by the fact that such a monster was born from him, so he destroyed the Unversed with his Keyblade without any hesitation; but every time he destroyed an Unversed, he himself would feel strong physical pain running through his body, and after the Unversed was destroyed, the pain and negative feeling would return to Vanitas' mind, which added more to the irritation he was feeling and in turn another Unversed of "irritation" would be born from him.

When a newborn's heart came in contact with Ventus' fractured heart, he also directly contacted Vanitas' heart. After feeling a sharp pain in his chest, Vanitas' body fell to the ground of the wasteland near the Keyblade Graveyard and almost lost consciousness, feeling being engulfed by absolute darkness. That was when Vanitas heard Sora's voice and then he saw light.

The light eventually surrounded his whole body. He then heard a voice saying "Let's open the door".

Vanitas then opened his eyes and found out that now he had a normal boy's face. He also realized that someone, probably also a newborn heart like himself, had saved Ventus' heart from completely fading away.

Because Vanitas told Master Xehanort that if he kept both him and Ventus, he could not guarantee that he could keep Ventus alive, since he found it was hard to suppress his impulse to hurt Ventus; thus, Xehanort had to take Ventus to the Land of Departure, asking Eraqus to take care of the boy. But after Ventus left, Vanitas started to miss him, and he kept wondering why they got separated from each other. This caused him to feel miserable and immense pain.

At the same time, he also felt very lost and anxious about his future; without Ventus, what would become of him? What was he supposed to do? What was the meaning of his existence? Why did he feel so suffocated in his chest? The more he thought about these questions, the more anxious, irritated, and lonely he felt. And the more he felt that, the more Unversed were created. Looking at the Unversed was like looking at his own weakness that he did not want to admit, so he started to kill them in a cycle of suffering that he could not escape.

At the same time, Master Xehanort could only coldly watch Vanitas harming himself from far away. Vanitas desperately wanted to escape from this vicious cycle of pain and suffering. But as young as he was at that time, he simply did not know other ways than killing the Unversed, until the point the pain was too much to endure, when he finally collapsed onto the ground of the Keyblade Graveyard, and cried. Tears started running down his face silently as he lay on the ground, alone. Master Xehanort came to him, telling him the only way for him to achieve salvation was to become the χ-blade.

Becoming the χ-blade was the only way for him to truly unite with Ventus again, and the χ-blade would bring salvation not only to him, but also to the whole world. Vanitas desperately wanted to free himself from this unbearable fate, thus to become the χ-blade had now become his goal, his whole life purpose, and his only light of hope to lead him out of this darkness.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Vanitas was created out of the darkness in Ventus' heart when Ventus was defeated by a horde of Neoshadows Xehanort had him fight as part of his training in order to save his heart from fading away, and Vanitas became Xehanort's apprentice. Xehanort decided to use Ventus to create the χ-blade and also as a vessel. He found that Ventus could not be a vessel but could still make the χ-blade.

After Ven's training, Vanitas arrives and taunts him about being weak before leaving and telling him that if he does not chase Terra, he will never see him again. Vanitas later met Ven at the Badlands and attempted to kill him, thinking he was too weak, but Mickey saved him and Vanitas left.

Vanitas later encountered Aqua at the Radiant Garden and they fought, but Vanitas left, revealing that it was just a test. Vanitas met Aqua again in Neverland and fought her because he no longer needed her. After the battle she faints and he leaves; it is unknown why he did not finish her off.

Vanitas later confronts Ventus and forces him to go to the Keyblade Graveyard after revealing their past.

Vanitas then fights against Aqua and Ventus at the Keyblade Graveyard and then he faces Terra with Xehanort's help, though he lives midway through the fight so he can forge the χ-blade. Vanitas knocks Aqua out and is about to finish her but Ventus recovers and fights Vanitas.

In the end, while confronting Ven, Vanitas unmasks himself, revealing his face to resemble Sora's, albeit with black hair and golden eyes. He reveals the Unversed came from him, and then would return to him once they're defeated.

During the final confrontation, Vanitas forces Ventus to fuse with him to become Ventus-Vanitas. Ventus fights Vanitas inside his mind while Aqua and Mickey face off against Vanitas controlling Ventus. After a long fight, Aqua and Mickey defeat Ventus-Vanitas and Ventus defeats Vanitas in their mental battle.

During Aqua's search for Terra, she senses a strong presence in the Keyblade Graveyard. Arriving there, she is confronted by Vanitas' Lingering Spirit, who attacks her. She knows he has all of his old powers plus the Unversed's powers and the χ-blade. After a long battle, Aqua defeats him and continues her search for Terra.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

When Young Xehanort appears before Sora within the cathedral at La Cité des Cloches, Ventus' heart reacts within Sora and allows him to see an image of Vanitas. In unison, the youth and Vanitas claim that Sora has made his heart into a prison, then vanish.

The real Vanitas joins the rest of the True Organization XIII during Master Xehanort's resurrection and attempts to make Sora the thirteenth vessel. However, Lea, Donald, and Goofy's intervention forces the Organization, including Vanitas, to retreat to their own times.

Kingdom Hearts III

In Monstropolis, Vanitas is revealed to have freed Randall Boggs so he would aid him in gathering negative emotions from children. After Randall is banished for good, Vanitas tries to seize Ventus from within Sora. Goofy recalls that Ven was never able to defeat Vanitas, because they both struck each other down. In the nick of time, Sulley grabbed Vanitas and threw him into four doors with the last one being put in the shredder.

Later, Vanitas invaded the Land of Departure to take Ven while his heart was sleeping. Aqua formed a barrier to fight him one-on-one, though he had the upper hand. With Sora's plea, Ven's heart returned and pierced the barrier to save Aqua. Vanitas retreated after saying that three Guardians was more than he cared to face.

At the Keyblade Graveyard, Vanitas joined Master Xehanort, Young Xehanort, Ansem, and Xemnas in confronting the Guardians of Light before summoning an army of Heartless, Nobodies, and Unversed to assault them. Later, he joined Terra-Xehanort in fighting Ven and Aqua at the Skein of Severance. During the battle, he revealed that he isn't Ventus's darker half, but really another entity hidden deep inside of Ven before being ripped from him by Xehanort. Once Sora joined the fight, Vanitas was defeated. He revealed his face to Sora and explained their similarities because Sora's heart had replaced Vanitas as the missing piece of Ven's. Sora and Ven implored Vanitas to join them as their "brother," but Vanitas, content with being their darkness, returned to his time while his replica body was destroyed.

Terra Xehanort

Terra-Xehanort is a major antagonist in the Kingdom Hearts video game series. He is the vessel of Terra possessed by Master Xehanort, and the complete being of "Ansem" and Xemnas.

He is voiced by Richard Epcar in the English dubs of the games and by Akio Otsuka in the original Japanese versions.

As part of his plan to see the second Keyblade War's aftermath due to his late age, Master Xehanort sought a means to cheat death by transferring his body into a young vessel, a prelude to his scheme to divide his being among thirteen beings to create his Thirteen Seekers of Darkness. Terra proved to be an ideal host, with Xehanort manipulating the events to have the young man open his heart to darkness for the transfer to be complete.

However, despite taking Terra's body as his own, Xehanort suffered resistance, both external and internal, and a botched attempt to force Terra's heart out caused the confused vessel to lose his memory while in Radiant Garden. He was found by Ansem the Wise soon after, Terra-Xehanort only remembering the name "Xehanort", which he has been called ever since as he became Ansem's foremost apprentice.

Ansem's Apprentice

Although he was confused about his past, with his previous incarnation's accomplice Braig as his sole confidant, Xehanort learned greatly and became quite cunning. Xehanort was described by Ansem as having abilities so remarkable that they could be considered supernatural. Eventually, Ansem began to worry about the darkness that lingers within the hearts of others and sought a way to stop it before it consumed his people.

Ansem constructed a laboratory under his castle where he, Xehanort, Braig, and Ansem's other assistants (Dilan, Even, Aeleus, and Ienzo) would conduct experiments on darkness. Xehanort, who Ansem now fully trusted as an apprentice and friend, offered to use himself in the experiments. Ansem also hoped to unlock Xehanort's memories in addition to uncovering a way to repress the darkness within hearts. Xehanort had other plans in mind though and decided to conduct his own experiments to go deeper into the research.

The Heartless

Xehanort and the other five apprentices began to carry out their own experiments. They abducted countless people and locked them in the depths of the laboratory where Xehanort then conducted horrible experiments on the subjects. After using many test subjects, one set of experiments led to the collapse of their hearts. The subjects then went into unrecoverable conditions and were locked up in the dungeon of the castle. Eventually, Xehanort checked on the subjects and saw that they transformed into creatures of darkness, which he named "the Heartless" as they lacked hearts. At this point, Xehanort had taken Ansem the Wise's name as his own and wrote his own report under this stolen name.

Xehanort then presented the Heartless with living and non-living samples; the Heartless only responded to the living. Xehanort witnessed the Heartless consume the living creatures and then multiply into more Heartless. Xehanort deduced that the Heartless seek the hearts of other things, which explains why they only react to living samples, in order to create more of their kind. Xehanort and his associates soon began to slowly accept the darkness, allowing them to have limited control over the Heartless.

They, in turn, began to look less and less humane, a factor that Ansem himself realized. When Ansem learned that his apprentices continued with the research, he called them together and ordered for them to cease their efforts immediately, all the while questioning what was happening to his loyal apprentices. Xehanort, however, saw his master as a fool who had no understanding of research and kept the research operating.

After observing the behavior of the Heartless and their responses to living things, Xehanort took one of the Heartless aside and observed its behavior. The Heartless began to move throughout the castle until a door appeared which Xehanort was somehow able to open. Behind the door was a humongous mass of energy to which the Heartless reacted immensely. The opening of this door led to the collapse of the world's boundaries, which was seen in the form of a meteor shower. Xehanort eventually deduced that the door actually led to the heart of that world and that the opening of this door led to the collapse of the walls between worlds.

This allowed inter-dimensional travel as all the walls between worlds were now broken and eventually a visitor named King Mickey showed up. He had constructed a Gummi Ship, a spacecraft capable of breaking through world boundaries, out of materials from the meteors and used it to visit many different places in search of answers to recent events. Xehanort and Mickey met and had huge discussions in which Xehanort learned of the Keyblade, a mysterious weapon that Mickey himself possessed.

There were also legends that told of seven princesses with pure hearts and how they have a connection to this Keyblade. The Keyblade can also be wielded by many, as long as their hearts qualify, and it seems there is a legend of one Keyblade bearer who went on a journey of destiny to seal off the doors to other worlds. Since this was not in Xehanort's interest, he sought a way to find this weapon. Mickey eventually met and befriended Ansem the Wise and the two of them exchanged theories and ideas in his office about what the Heartless were after.

Ansem decided to resist the urge to test their theories while expressing deep remorse for his actions. However, Ansem had no idea that Xehanort had gone further than he himself even dared. Xehanort entered the office during their discussion, asking Ansem's permission to test an experiment. Ansem forbade Xehanort to conduct it and told him to forget everything he learned from the research.

Even though Ansem had no further urge to research the darkness, the experiments led by Xehanort continued including the creation of a machine that created artificial Heartless, all of which were marked with an emblem created by Xehanort in order to differentiate them from the pure-bred Heartless. King Mickey suspected something odd about Xehanort and told Ansem to check his lab, collect all his data, and see if everything was under control. Ansem did so and learned that Xehanort had taken his name as his own and wrote a detailed report. From the report, Ansem learned of the horrible torture inflicted on people by the inhumane experiments that Xehanort had done. Ansem ordered his apprentices to seal off the laboratory and cease their scheme for knowledge.

The Path to Destruction and Knowledge

Ansem's apprentices did as he instructed them but Xehanort eventually banished Ansem to the Realm of Nothingness and ravaged the world with Heartless. The Heartless under the command of Xehanort began spreading to other worlds and destroyed numerous ones in their mad search for hearts. One side effect of the destruction of so many worlds was the creation of Traverse Town, made up of the remains of the ruined worlds and populated by the few survivors of those said worlds. Xehanort then ordered for the seal on the laboratory to be broken and that a room that he called the "Chamber of Repose" be constructed.

Once done, Xehanort often went in and spoke as if there was someone else in the room. It is later revealed that the room housed the armor of a fallen Keyblade wielder although it is not known what the purpose of this was. Xehanort then abducted and sent Kairi, a resident of Radiant Garden, to the oceans of other worlds. The reason for this was because Xehanort thought Kairi had a connection to the Keyblade bearer, as she seemed to possess power comparable to that of a Princess of Heart, which is rumored to possess a connection to the Keyblade. He hoped to use her to find the Keyblade master and prevent him from sealing off the doors to other worlds. Before sending her off, he warned her that if she ended up on "the other side" of reality, they both have failed in their experiment.

Xehanort made the final pages of his report, which outlined his intentions as well as those of the Heartless. The Heartless seek to consume the hearts of all living things. However, they not only seek human hearts but the hearts of the worlds themselves. Their ultimate goal is to collect enough hearts to form the biggest heart of all, the heart in which all that exists are evolved from: Kingdom Hearts. Xehanort decided to use the Heartless' instincts to make his own plans. He would find Kingdom Hearts in order to gain ultimate power, control, and knowledge. Xehanort also learned that the creation of a Heartless can also lead to the creation of another creature called a Nobody, beings that are left over bodies of those whose hearts have been stolen away. They transform into an inhuman state and do not truly exist as they lack a heart to make them truly live.

Xehanort eventually opened himself to the darkness to regain the ability to wield the powers of darkness and his previous incarnation's Keyblade, using it on Braig and the apprentices. He then followed their example and divided his being into a Heartless and a Nobody. Due to the willing separation, both halves remained human as they went their separate ways to enact one of their previous incarnation's plans.

A Heartless and Nobody

Xehanort's Nobody took the concept of his original name being an anagram with an X in it and applied it to the name he stole, Ansem. Thus he was called Xemnas, who created The Organization later called Organization XIII, with the other apprentices at its core. Like Xemnas, all the other members rearranged their names and put an X in them in order create a new identity for themselves. They sought to become complete beings again and be whole. Meanwhile, Xehanort's Heartless, still calling himself "Ansem", remained a spirit seeking to plunge all that is in darkness. Both portions of Xehanort sought Kingdom Hearts in order to wield the power it possesses and unleash it into the universe.

Ansem's plans were to control other beings and use them to collect the Princesses of Heart and use them to open up the portal to Kingdom Hearts. To this end, he commanded the Heartless to manipulate the darkness within the Disney villains to serve their needs. Maleficent, being manipulated by the Heartless, led this group of villains to control the darkness by using the Heartless and collecting the princesses to open the path to Kingdom Hearts through an artificial Keyhole. This group used Hollow Bastion as a base of operations and used Ansem's reports to help them control the Heartless and the darkness. None of them knew, however, that they were being used by a far greater evil that was residing in the shadows, waiting for the opportune moment to claim Kingdom Hearts for himself.

At the same time, Ansem would use the Heartless to destroy entire worlds and collect the worlds' hearts to form the dimension of Kingdom Hearts itself. He also searched for a host to take control of so that he may regain a physical presence. His choice for a host would later turn out to be Riku.

Exploiting Riku's jealous friendship with Sora, Ansem nearly shattered their friendship and took possession of Riku's body, sending his heart to the dark realm. Unfortunately for him, the goal he sought for throughout his whole life, Kingdom Hearts, ended up destroying him with its light, giving Riku back his body. Kingdom Hearts was soon sealed away by Sora and King Mickey, which destroyed billions of Heartless and the End of the World as well as restoring all the worlds taken by Xehanort and the Heartless. (Ansem would still live on in Riku).

Meanwhile, Xemnas, the Nobody of Xehanort, sought to find Kingdom Hearts by collecting human hearts. His goal was to use Kingdom Hearts to make himself a kingdom, where he would be the ruler forever. Leading Organization XIII (Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Saïx, Axel, Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, Larxene, Roxas, and Xion), Xemnas controlled all Nobodies and constructed a fortress that would serve as a base of operations: The Castle that Never Was. Organization XIII recruited other powerful Nobodies in their plans to find Kingdom Hearts and use its power to become complete beings again. Xemnas eventually found a fortress known as Castle Oblivion and converted it into a base of experiments where the nature of memory would be experimented on. He was also searching frantically for a room called the "Chamber of Waking" and believed it to be somewhere within this fortress.

In the meantime, Organization XIII brought chaos and destruction to many worlds in order to create more Heartless and Nobodies to control. Research was also put into the Keyblade and the Organization eventually learned that it held the literal key to forming and obtaining Kingdom Hearts. And Xemnas, unlike his Heartless counterpart, achieved his goal. But after all of the other Organization members were slain by Sora, Kingdom Hearts was scattered by Ansem the Wise himself in an explosion that seemingly killed the former ruler of Radiant Garden (but actually just sent him to the Realm of Darkness).

Xemnas, with no other option, absorbed the remnants of Kingdom Hearts and became ultimately powerful. However, in a climactic battle with Sora and Riku, Xemnas was destroyed by the light of the Keyblade and faded, taking Kingdom Hearts with him. This also ended the reign of Organization XIII and the Nobodies and, as Sora stated after the battle, seemingly restored the Realm of Light to peace and safety.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Following Ansem and Xemnas's destruction, Terra's body was recompleted, but his heart remained trapped in the Dark Figure. Young Xehanort retrieved a past version of Terra-Xehanort and put his heart inside Terra's empty body, inducting him into the Real Organization XIII.

Terra-Xehanort joined his fellow Organization members as Master Xehanort returned and gloated about making Terra one of his vessels. However, the Organization's time ran out, and all the members, including Terra-Xehanort, returned to their times.

Kingdom Hearts III

Terra-Xehanort was first seen in the Keyblade Graveyard. After pretending to be Terra for a few seconds to catch Ventus off-guard, he insisted that it was the day that the Guardians of Light would lose and the x-blade would still be forged. Terra-Xehanort proceeded to incapacitate the Guardians, forcing Donald to cast Zettaflare to defeat him, only to succumb from its life-threatening toll with his heart intact (as implied by Riku).

After Sora escaped from The Final World and recovered the Guardians' lost hearts from the Lich, time rewound to the same first moment with Terra-Xehanort. However, Naminé intervened by summoning the Lingering Will to fight Terra-Xehanort. During their duel, Terra-Xehanort managed to restrain the Lingering Will, but a future version of Sora stepped in. The Lingering Will sacrificed itself to save Sora, forcing Terra-Xehanort to duel Sora. Sensing that Sora has abused the power of waking, Terra-Xehanort dragged future Sora into darkness.

Later, Terra-Xehanort and Vanitas teamed up to battle Sora, Ventus, and Aqua. Upon his defeat, Terra-Xehanort bound the three guardians of light in dark chains. With him about to drop Ven and Aqua from a great height, Ven remembered keeping the promise to Terra he once made in Radiant Garden. The Dark Figure, controlled by Terra's mind, saved them in time, broke the chain with one hand, and ungagged his mouth while covering Terra-Xehanort's face. As a result, Terra-Xehanort and the Dark Figure ceased to exist and Terra was himself again.

Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory

Although Terra-Xehanort himself does not appear in Melody of Memory due to Terra having been released from Xehanort's control, an apparition of him created from Kairi's memories of him appears in Kairi's memory of The Final World when her memory of the elderly Xehanort turns into him right before he fades away after Sora defeats him, and he gives Kairi a cryptic hint on where Sora disappeared to after misusing the power of waking, leaving her puzzled. He is also seen in Kairi's flashback to her childhood in Radiant Garden when he sent her to the ocean between worlds to search for the Keyblade wielder, and it is shown he explained to her that if she were to end up in a world that's neither light or dark, she should give up her search, as it would mean that they have failed.

Ansem - The 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, one of the secondary antagonists of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance and 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.

Kingdom Hearts

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.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and Kingdom Hearts II

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.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

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, Likewise he was forced to retreat with the rest of the Real Organization when Lea, Donald and Goofy stall them to prevent Sora from becoming their thirteenth member.

Kingdom Hearts III

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 turning her into a cold and ruthless Anti-Aqua. 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 the former two who distract him from noticing Olette taking Diz away, and Vexen who commands a group of Dusks to attack Ansem. With Hayner going as far as to attack the dark being, here he also finds out the Vexen has defected from the Organization when he figures out that Vexen was the one who sent the dusks to come after him.

Ansem joins the real 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. He reflects on his journey that he and Riku had together, Riku admits to Ansem that he is going to miss him and Ansem congratulates Riku for becoming a powerful Keyblade master, admitting to him he never stood a chance against him.

He also admits to Sora and Riku that part of him wanted to defy his fate but once he discovered that many members defected from the Organization he found the cared no longer. Sora attempts to comfort Ansem despite his actions against him and Riku but Ansem tells the trio that it is time for them to move on and that was more for them to seek as such he encourages them to go forth and seek it before fading away.


When I was finished everyone was shocked!

Elena: Oh man. That is bad and my real name is Elrena. Hard to imagine I would become that dangerous and ruthless.

Nico: Xehanort is a monster.

Laney: May I see that for a sec J.D.?

Me: Sure Laney.

Laney looked through the book and she saw a picture of Luxu and one of Xigbar and she then connected the dots very quickly.

Laney: So that's it! I didn't know about this but Xigbar is really Luxu.

We gasped in shock.

Me: So that's why Nico and Xigbar have been so secretive.

Skalor: Nico, is this true?

Nico: Yes it is true. And I was sworn to not tell anyone till the time was right.

Me: Luxu is one of the Master Keybladers and is a very formidable force of good. Now I see why Xigbar wanted you to be silent about it till the time came.

Nico: That's right.

Eli: That explains why I sensed Nico's brainwave patterns being different.

Nico: You guys all catch on fast.

Me: Don't worry, we won't tell Xigbar that we know about him being Luxu until the time comes.

Nico: Good.

Lana: What does it say about Kingdom Hearts?

Me: Lets see.

I looked up what it was and it was really phenomenal.


The χ-blade (χブレード Kīburēdo?) is a legendary weapon utilized to unlock and control Kingdom Hearts, coexisting alongside of it as the only means of opening it. It is the inspiration for all human-wrought Keyblades, all of which are imperfectly created after its image.

In legend, it was believed that many fought for possession of the χ-blade in the ancient Keyblade War, though it was ultimately destroyed and shattered into twenty pieces: seven of light, and thirteen of darkness. The legend of the χ-blade soon became the primary interest of Master Xehanort, who sought to incite another Keyblade War in order to reforge the χ-blade and assume control of Kingdom Hearts to balance the light and darkness of the world in equilibrium.

Early History

The counterpart of the mighty Kingdom Hearts, the χ-blade exists as its protector and equal counterpart. From studying the χ-blade, the Master of Masters discovered the means of materializing Keyblades, weapons imperfectly modeled after the χ-blade, from the hearts of those worthy enough to wield one.

Due to the Keyblade War, the χ-blade was shattered into twenty pieces: seven of light, and thirteen of darkness, and as a result Kingdom Hearts itself was swallowed into darkness. With the conclusion of the war, people came to believe that the Keyblade wielders participating in the war fought for control of the χ-blade and Kingdom Hearts, while in actuality the conflict was caused by the Foretellers' mistrust of each other, and seeing the destruction brought upon, those who would become masters of their own told the tales to their students but discouraged them from attempting to start another war.

Pre-Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

Researching the Keyblade War, a Keyblade Master named Master Xehanort learned of the χ-blade and intended to recreate it to begin a new Keyblade War and use Kingdom Hearts to recreate the worlds with pure light and lead them, seeing how both light and darkness were used amorally. Within his reports, Xehanort theorized that the χ-blade could be created when a heart of pure light intersects with an equal yet opposing heart of pure darkness. Although Xehanort anticipated he could potentially fail in creating the χ-blade, which he had a backup plan for, at the same time he decided to take the easily available option at the moment to fulfill his goals. As a result by pure chance, Xehanort used Ventus as a tool to create the χ-blade as he made his heart into one of pure light and used the extracted darkness to create Vanitas.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Through manipulation, Xehanort ensured that Ventus would arrive to the Keyblade Graveyard, where the χ-blade was shattered and would be made. At first once Vanitas fused backed into Ventus, the resulting union wielded an artificial χ-blade and fought Aqua and Mickey Mouse before it was revealed that the weapon was unstable. Despite Vanitas attempting to complete the fusion inside their Dive to the Heart, Ventus defeats him at the cost of his heart while the artificial χ-blade explodes.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Upon Master Xehanort's return, the villain admits he made a hasty mistake, yet hasn't given up on his plans to form the χ-blade and incite another Keyblade War. Revealing to have masterminded a series of events orchestrated by Ansem, Seeker of Darkness and Xemnas, Xehanort plotted to respectively obtain Seven Guardians of Light, formed from either seven Keyblade wielders or the Princesses of Heart, and thirteen darknesses in the form of the real Organization XIII, vessels that hold Xehanort's heart and are extensions of the Keyblade Master himself. While thwarted, Xehanort arranged for his younger self to travel through time and gather his other selves. However, the union of light or darkness is not fulfilled in time, and Xehanort and his new Organization are forced to escape.

Kingdom Hearts III

In the final battle between the thirteen darknesses and the seven lights, the χ-blade is forged. Master Xehanort soon uses it to summon Kingdom Hearts and corrupts it with his darkness for the purpose of purging the world and starting it again.

After being transported to Scala ad Caelum and losing the first battle, Master Xehanort summons the χ-blade during the final battle against Sora, Donald and Goofy atop the world. Despite his use of both the χ-blade and the power of Kingdom Hearts, Xehanort is ultimately defeated by Sora. With the arrival of the other guardians of light shortly afterwards, the heart of Master Eraqus emerges from Terra's heart and is able to convince Xehanort to surrender the χ-blade to Sora and accept defeat. After Eraqus and Xehanort pass on, Sora and his friends channel their light into the χ-blade, shutting Kingdom Hearts again and returning them to the Keyblade Graveyard. It is unknown what became of the χ-blade afterwards.


It was really the source of ultimate power and wisdom and it's true form is located in the Keyblade Graveyard. Its power and knowledge is immeasurable and of omnipotent level.

Lincoln: Whoa.

Nico: That's incredible.

Laney: Yeah.

Me: That's amazing. Wow.

Nico: What does it say about Scala ad Caelum?

Me: Lets see.

I found its history and it was amazing.


Scala ad Caelum (Lat: "Stairway to Heaven") is a world that appears in Kingdom Hearts Union χ, Kingdom Hearts III and Kingdom Hearts Dark Road. For gameplay purposes, it is recognized as part of the Keyblade Graveyard; however, in Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind, it is recognized as its own world.

Scala ad Caelum is built upon the ruin of Daybreak Town.

Between Kingdom Hearts Union X and Kingdom Hearts Dark Road

Ephemer founded the town of Scala ad Caelum after the destruction of Daybreak Town, and eventually a statue commemorating him is built in a fountain plaza in the town. At some point after this, Brain ends up in Scala ad Caelum were he meets Sigurd, who tells him of Ephemer's role in the town's founding and that his appearance there was ordained and that he would answer Brain's questions at headquarters and proceeds to bring him there.

Later in time, Xehanort is born in this town and given away to a cloaked person, who takes him to Destiny Islands.

Kingdom Hearts Dark Road

A young Xehanort finds his way back to Scala ad Caelum thanks to the actions of his own time-traveling Heartless and lands unconscious in that world. There he studies the Keyblade and its lore under Odin, along with his classmates Eraqus, Vor, Bragi, Urd, Hermod, and Baldr. As lower-classmen, they are aware that other worlds exist, but are forbidden from visiting them. When the upper-classmen disappear during their Mark of Mastery exam, Master Odin orders the remaining students to leave Scala ad Caelum and venture forth to other worlds in search of the missing students.

Between Kingdom Hearts Dark Road and Kingdom Hearts III

On one day, while playing chess, Xehanort asks Eraqus about the ancient Keyblade War, which Eraqus claims is their master's favorite story. However, when Xehanort mentions the "Lost Masters" who actually started the war, Eraqus feigns ignorance, and Xehanort remains unconvinced. Xehanort muses on how on the land where the Keyblade War was fought, darkness will prevail and light expire, looking up at No Name, while Eraqus counters him by claiming that the light might surprise Xehanort and prevail, and Xehanort expresses interest in this possibility.

After their last game, Eraqus and Xehanort begin a new game of enacting a battle between seven dark pieces and one white piece.

Kingdom Hearts III

After forming the χ-blade at the Keyblade Graveyard and ascending to Kingdom Hearts, Riku says to Sora that because Master Xehanort exists outside of time and space, he can be used as a portal to trap himself in. Volunteering to defeat Xehanort, Sora, alongside Donald Duck and Goofy, decides to enter the portal, which is opened by the rest of the guardians of light using their Keyblades on Xehanort. This transports the four to Scala ad Caelum.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy start at the front of the empty town and walk into it. They notice Xehanort appearing seemly in multiple places at once, walking around. They try to pursue him, only to be confronted by twelve Replica Xehanorts, each carrying a weapon from a member of the real Organization XIII. After defeating them, Master Xehanort reappears, describing Scala ad Caelum to Sora as a former seat of power for all Keyblade wielders, and announcing he will become one with his other-selves. Xehanort and the Remnants all combine together, and Xehanort clads himself in a new Keyblade Armor. Xehanort fights Sora and his allies while bending space to his will, causing them to fight in an enclosed room, the walls folded upland, underwater, and then at the original location, although heavily damaged and flooded by the fighting. However, Sora manages to break the armor, but Xehanort then teleports to the tower in the middle of the island they are on.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy follow him to the top of the tower, where he wields the χ-blade in one final battle. Sora fights Xehanort but is defeated by Xehanort using the power of Kingdom Hearts. He is then revived by Donald and Goofy, who together defeat Xehanort.

In the aftermath of the final battle, Xehanort is insistent on his goals until Eraqus projects his spirit through Terra and beckons him to surrender. Finally admitting defeat, Xehanort congratulates Sora on his victory and hands him the χ-blade before passing away.

Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind

After traversing the hearts of five guardians in his efforts to restore Kairi's heart, Sora passes through Xehanort's portal as a heart, arriving at Scala ad Caelum ahead of his past self. He manages to recover one fragment of her heart from an unusual Shadow in the Stairway from the Sky, and four more from various locations in the Breezy Quarter, culminating in a battle with a Darkside in the plaza.

After collecting the fifth fragment, he returns to the Stairway to the Sky, where Master Xehanort reveals that Kairi's heart was divided into seven fragments in total. Before Sora can pursue the remaining two, however, his past self arrives, and Sora is forced to relive the battle with the Replica Xehanorts. After defeating them, Sora follows the connection between his heart and Riku's to return to the Keyblade Graveyard.


We were amazed. Scala ad Caelum was really the city for all the great keyblade masters of the universe.

Me: Wow. That's amazing. This whole place is the City of the Great Keyblade Masters.

Nico: Incredible. This place dates back many eons to long before the 1st Keyblade War broke out.

Me: No kidding.

Titanium Toenail: This has been very interesting so far.

Nico: It sure has. And this book right here gives us all the information we need.

Lola: Aqua you were trapped for a long time in the Realm of Darkness right?

Aqua: I sure was.

Me: 10 years I think right?

Aqua: That's right.

Eli: What was that like for you?

Aqua: It's something I don't like talking about but for you, I'll tell you all.

Aqua told us all about her time in the Realm of Darkness and it was one scary place and it nearly corrupted her.


Aqua is one of the main protagonists of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. She is also the protagonist of Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-, Aqua was a Keyblade wielder years before Sora was. Like Terra and Ventus, it is her dream to become a Keyblade Master, a dream she is the only one of the three to accomplish.

Aqua, alongside Terra, was one of Eraqus's pupils. Like Terra, Aqua also had a dream of becoming a Keyblade Master.

One day, a suspicious man named Master Xehanort arrived and gave Eraqus a new apprentice to work with, a boy named Ventus. Terra called out to Aqua and told her that a new apprentice had just arrived. Aqua and Terra tried to converse with Ven and asked him about why he wanted to train to become a Keyblade Master. The questions troubled Ven to the point that he couldn't take the pressure. He fainted and shocked Aqua and Terra.

Eraqus told Aqua and Terra that the reason Ven fainted was that he had lost his memories. Aqua decided to look after Ven, in case he woke up. Many days passed and, despite Ven being unable to awaken, Aqua did not abandon him. One day, Aqua saw Ven open his eyes and regain consciousness. Overjoyed, she quickly informed a worried Terra and Master Eraqus.

Since that day, Aqua developed a very close relationship with Ventus, acting much like his older sister and becoming very protective of him. Over the years, Aqua, Terra, and Ven forged a strong bond with each other.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

One night, Ven, Terra, and Aqua watch a meteor shower together. After commenting that Ven and Terra would make the weirdest brothers, Aqua gives them each a good luck charm called a Wayfinder she made herself, saving one for herself.

The next day, she takes the Mark of Mastery exam along with Terra, and becomes a Keyblade Master, although Terra fails due to his inability to control his darkness. After Terra and Ventus left, Aqua was the last apprentice to be sent by Eraqus to bring Ventus back to the Land of Departure. Before she left, Eraqus wanted to ask Aqua to keep an eye on Terra, to make sure he is alright and stays safe from the darkness in his heart. If Terra's heart would become too close to the darkness, Eraqus needed Aqua to bring Terra back immediately.

Aqua meets Terra in the Castle of Dreams, where she learns that Master Xehanort is looking for hearts of pure light, but she is comforted to hear that Terra had learned there that believing in a dream has the power to hold back the darkness. However, her faith in Terra is shaken when she arrives in Enchanted Dominion to learn that, according to Maleficent, Terra willingly helped steal Aurora's heart for her. Aqua later catches sight of Terra in the Lanes Between and pursues him to Radiant Garden, but loses track of him there.

Aqua meets Mickey Mouse and the young Princess of Heart, Kairi, who touched Aqua's Keyblade in fright, unintentionally performing a Bequeathing. Aqua and Mickey protect her from a group of Unversed, and in return, Kairi gives Aqua flowers, which becomes the Keyblade Destiny's Embrace. Aqua also places a protective charm on Kairi's necklace to help her in the future, believing that their meeting may not have been a coincidence. This charm would later transport Kairi to Destiny Islands where she would be with someone who would always protect her, while Ansem believed it was because Kairi, as a Princess, was naturally drawn to the Keybearer.

Aqua later meets up with Terra and Ventus, but the reunion is short-lived as they team up to battle a massive Unversed. They manage to defeat it, but things take a turn for the worse. Terra and Aqua begin to argue about Master Eraqus's orders, revealing to Terra that she was sent to watch him. Hurt by this, Terra leaves, and Ventus calls Aqua awful, claiming that she has let her new status as a Keyblade master go to her head. He then leaves to find Terra, as Aqua stays to contemplate.

After meeting Merlin at his house, Aqua goes to the town square and encounters the enigmatic Vanitas, who taunts her by inquiring about Ventus and if he has gotten stronger. When Aqua asks what he means, Vanitas attacks, and the pair fight a vicious battle. Aqua emerges victorious, but Vanitas simply leaves via Corridor of Darkness, making an ambiguous comment about her being his backup plan. Aqua then resolves to stop Vanitas to protect Ventus and Terra. Ventus then appears, asking to go with Aqua. At first, she is harsh with him and he appears discouraged. She softens and tells him she doesn't want to put him 'in harm's way', and departs not long after.

Aqua's faith in Terra is restored upon her visits to Olympus Coliseum and Deep Space. In Olympus Coliseum, Aqua learns that Hades attempted to trick Terra into being his warrior of darkness, but Terra instead saved Zack when Hades decided to use the warrior instead. In Deep Space, Aqua learns from Dr. Jumba that Terra considered his Wayfinder a precious reminder of their friendship, and had even inspired Experiment 626 to start making friends.

While in Neverland, Aqua encounters Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, joining them on their treasure hunt. They later find their treasure chest, filled with wooden swords and Ventus's wooden Keyblade. Peter Pan tells Aqua that Ventus left the toy there as he no longer needed it. Aqua then senses someone nearby and goes off to investigate. She then encounters Vanitas again, this time with Ventus's cherished Wooden Keyblade. The dark enigma cruelly mocks Aqua's actions and snaps the toy weapon in two. Greatly enraged by this, Aqua battles and defeats him again, but is left exhausted by the fight and passes out. While unconscious, she reminisces about the first starry night she spent with Terra and Ventus. She soon recovers and leaves Neverland.

At one point Aqua and Terra come to Destiny Islands and meet two young boys by the name of Sora and Riku. Aqua sees the strong bond between the two friends and advises Sora to help Riku if he ever falls into darkness; though she initially intends to grant Sora the power to use the Keyblade, she decides against it upon discovering that Terra had already done it for Riku, not wishing to put the two innocent children through the ordeals she and Terra have faced.

Aqua later encounters an unconscious Mickey drifting in space and takes him to the Mysterious Tower, where she hears of Eraqus's death from Yen Sid and heads to the Keyblade Graveyard to meet up with Terra and Ven.

A short conversation with Ventus takes place there, one where he states that if he does become the χ-blade, he wants the two of them to "put an end to me". Aqua appears horrified, but Master Xehanort makes an appearance and tells about the history of the Keyblade War. Afterward, they attack, and a great battle takes place. Xehanort holds Ven over the edge of a cliff where Aqua can see, he freezes the boy and drops him; however, she manages to catch him. After fighting Braig and then Ventus under Vanitas's influence, the X-blade is destroyed and she is flung into the Lanes Between, unconscious. Mickey finds her and Ventus drifting there and brings them both to Yen Sid's Tower, where it is revealed to her that Ventus has lost his heart. She takes Ven back to the Land of Departure and places his sleeping body in a throne. She takes Eraqus's Keyblade and transforms the world into Castle Oblivion to keep Ventus safe. Afterward, she says her goodbyes to Ven, fondly stroking his hair, and leaves. She then tracks down the possessed Terra to Radiant Garden.

Failing to bring Terra back to his senses, Aqua fights and defeats Xehanort; subsequently, Xehanort stabs himself in the chest with his own Keyblade in an attempt to lock Terra out as a horrified Aqua looks on. As Terra-Xehanort falls through a portal into the Realm of Darkness, Aqua dives in after him but quickly realizes that she will be unable to save them both. Instead, Aqua sacrifices her armor and Keyblade to save the dark being that had once been her dear friend, sending him back into the Realm of Light while she remains behind. Now stuck in the Realm of Darkness, Aqua is attacked by several giant Heartless and decides to just allow them to destroy her, but is saved by Terra and Ventus's Keyblades. She is then reminded of the people she is connected to. With renewed trust in her friends, Aqua looks at her Wayfinder.

Aqua's Wayfinder begins to mysteriously glow. As she travels in the realm, she sees a large circle of the light from above her, only for a powerful column of darkness to shoot out of it in front of her. Her Wayfinder stops glowing. Seemingly unshaken by this, she presses forward and encounters several Shadows, Neoshadows, and Darkballs. After traveling deeper into the Realm of Darkness, Aqua senses something stalking her, and comes face to face with a large Heartless that attacks her. To prevent it from attacking her, she uses a Fire spell, only for it to leap over her. Getting a closer look at it, Aqua determines it is not an Unversed and takes a battle stance to fight it. After destroying the Heartless, Aqua continues walking, eventually coming to a clearing and looking up. Surprised, she recognizes the Castle of Dreams surrounded by clouds of darkness.

Between Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts

Realizing that the Castle of Dreams has been swallowed by the darkness, Aqua roams the Realm of Darkness to uncover the source behind the strange occurrences. Furthermore, she also notices that time does not pass in the Realm of Darkness, and therefore does not know what is happening in the Realm of Light. In the remains of the Castle of Dreams, Aqua encounters an illusion of Terra. Realizing that the denizens of the world have not fallen to darkness, she resolves to press on. Arriving in the remains of Dwarf Woodlands, she encounters an illusion of Ventus and battles the phantom Aqua inside the Magic Mirror. After breaking out of the Mirror, she pursues visions of Terra and Ventus in the remains of Enchanted Dominion, battling hordes of Darksides in the process. To her surprise, Terra speaks with her, explaining that he has become part of the darkness. Xehanort uses Terra's connections to Aqua to force her to reveal Ventus's location, but Terra battles Xehanort, forcing Xehanort to summon the Dark Figure's hands to drag Aqua further into the Realm of Darkness.

Aqua prepares to become one with the darkness, but she is rescued by King Mickey. After Mickey explains his mission to save the Realm of Light from the Heartless, the two locate the Kingdom Key D behind the door in the secret place in the remains of Destiny Islands. Aqua and Mickey realize they are on the opposite side of the Door to Darkness. Aqua and Mickey prepare to help Sora and Riku seal the Door to Darkness. When a Demon Tide attacks Riku, Aqua sacrifices herself by staying on the darkness side of the door to save him. The Demon Tide thrusts her back to the island shore, separating her from Riku and Mickey because the door in the secret place has been sealed and has disappeared from Mickey's side. While fighting the Demon Tide, Aqua vows to guide other lost souls lost in the Realm of Darkness. After its defeat, Aqua rests on the shore, watching the sky. Once Sora saves the worlds, Aqua remains in the Realm of Darkness and not Destiny Islands, as she is not originally from the island, though Master's Defender is returned alongside Destiny Islands.

Kingdom Hearts II

Aqua's armor and Keyblade reside in the Chamber of Repose, a room constructed by Ansem's apprentices under Radiant Garden for an unknown purpose. Xemnas visits the armor often, calling it "friend" and talking to it for long periods of time. This has piqued the curiosity and suspicion of Xigbar, who often eavesdrops on his conversations, and once shared this story with Zexion, stating that one time he heard "another voice" respond to Xemnas. In The World That Never Was, Sora encounters Xigbar, who mentions "other Keyblade bearers", referring to Terra, Aqua, and Ventus. Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix

Kingdom Hearts coded

Aqua is alluded to by Data-Naminé as one of those connected to Sora's heart and needs his help, appearing as one of Data-Naminé's mental images. Later on, after Mickey informs Yen Sid that they have located Ventus's heart, Yen Sid concludes that Terra is the only one left to find, as the two had already located Aqua.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Mickey mentions Aqua when he suggests that he help Sora and Riku inside the Sleeping Worlds by following his heart's path, as Aqua told him long ago.

When Sora arrives at The World That Never Was, he is caught by the Organization and placed within a nightmare in which he chases after memories of Riku and Kairi. When he catches up to them at the Contorted City, the phantoms suddenly take the form of Terra and Aqua, while Sora himself takes on Ventus's appearance. Sora is confused, but the phantoms grasp his hand before turning back into Riku and Kairi and walking off again. As Riku attempts to wake Sora on his own side of the dream, Sora recalls when Aqua came to Destiny Islands and nearly wakes up.

However, Ansem appears within Sora's dream at the last second and thrusts him back into the nightmare. Xigbar and Xemnas reappear within the nightmare to taunt him and lead him into despair by explaining the inevitability of their plan and playing on his insecurities, but a defiant Sora proclaims that while he may not have been chosen by the Keyblade, he will always be proud to be there for his friends, including Aqua and all the others.

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-

After Riku brings Kairi to the Mysterious Tower, Mickey tells the story of how he found Aqua and teamed up with her to find the Kingdom Key D and seal the Door to Darkness. A frustrated Riku demands to know why Mickey didn't tell him sooner, but Mickey clarifies that he had to respect her choice, his claims bolstered by Yen Sid's insistence that had Riku found out sooner, he and Sora would have staged a fruitless rescue mission. Yen Sid then assigns Riku and Mickey the mission to rescue Aqua.

Blank Points

Aqua wanders into the End of Sea, where she meets Ansem the Wise, who was cast into the Realm when his machine exploded. Ansem the Wise reveals to Aqua that the Realm of Light nearly fell to Darkness more than once over the course of the last decade, though it was saved by an exceptionally Keyblade wielder named Sora. Knowing that Sora will rescue her and her friends, Aqua sheds a single tear, while uttering Sora's name with renewed hope.

Kingdom Hearts III

Shortly after meeting Ansem the Wise, Ansem, Seeker of Darkness arrives on the shores of the End of Sea and demands information from Ansem the Wise regarding a girl who had undergone experimentation alongside Xehanort to unlock her forgotten memories. Aqua attempts to defend Ansem the Wise, but she is easily dispatched by Ansem's guardian without her Keyblade. Concerned for Aqua's safety, Ansem the Wise relents and leaves with Ansem, but not before the latter darkens Aqua's heart and casts her out into the sea, leading to her transformation into "Anti-Aqua".

Later, Riku and Mickey re-enter the Realm of Darkness to find Aqua, but after following her trail to the End of Sea, they find that Aqua is missing and are instead attacked by the Demon Tower. Anti-Aqua, who had been controlling the Demon Tower, reveals herself after Mickey is disarmed, picking up his Keyblade. Mickey recognizes her, but she says that he was too late and tells Mickey and Riku of the endless despair and loneliness she had endured within the Realm of Darkness. Believing herself to have been foolish for ever believing that someone would come to save her, Aqua has the Demon Tower attack Riku, but Sora intervenes, having found the Master's Defender in Destiny Islands and used it to create a path to Aqua. Sora then proceeds to fight Aqua himself, cleansing her of the Darkness and helping her to finally return to the Realm of Light.

Rather than taking time to recover, Aqua has Sora, Donald, and Goofy accompany her to Castle Oblivion, wanting to return to Ventus's side. Using Master's Defender, she unlocks Castle Oblivion's Keyhole, returning it to the former glory of the Land of Departure. The group finds the sleeping Ventus in the main chamber, though Aqua is quick to realize his heart had never returned to him in her absence. Vanitas, who had been following the group, interjects with the intent of a reunion with Ventus. Aqua is quick to attack Vanitas, but when Sora offers to help her take Vanitas down, Aqua isolates herself with a barrier in order to prove herself to Sora. When Aqua gains the upper hand, Vanitas instead targets Ventus and attempts to break the barrier between them. Aqua instead takes the brunt of Vanitas' attack, allowing Vanitas the opportunity to take Aqua's heart. This stirs Ventus's heart within Sora, and with Sora's help, his heart returns to his body. Launching himself at Vanitas, Ventus saves Aqua, and Vanitas retreats into darkness.

Reunited, the five heroes head back to the Mysterious Tower, where Mickey apologizes for being unable to find Terra, but Aqua is certain that she and Ventus will be able to get him back. Riku also thanks Aqua for saving him when he was in the Realm of Darkness the first time, expressing regret for being too inexperienced to help her back then. Aqua is impressed that Riku and Mickey were both made Keyblade Masters, but also notes that Sora has not changed since they last met, leading the latter to scratch his head in confusion. When Yen Sid acknowledges Lea and Kairi as Keyblade wielders, Aqua immediately recognizes Kairi as the same girl that she cast a spell on when she visited Radiant Garden.

With their clash against the Seekers of Darkness imminent, Aqua and Ventus take time to star-gaze outside. Ventus uses this moment to admit to Aqua that while he was sleeping, he would have dreams of her, Terra, Sora, and the others. He also expressed memories of weird animal creatures. Aqua says that she's been places too, but she can't wait until things are back to normal. The two hold both of their Wayfinders to the sky, promising to share their stories with Terra after they save him.

The following day, Aqua joins the rest of the heroes as they go to the Keyblade Graveyard. Ventus sees Terra in the middle of the wasteland, but Aqua immediately realizes that it is not Terra. Her suspicions are confirmed when Terra's hair goes from brown to white, revealing himself to be Terra-Xehanort. Mickey concludes Terra-Xehanort is the thirteenth member of the Real Organization. Terra-Xehanort tells them that they will lose this fight, that all their hearts will be torn apart one by one. Nonetheless, Terra-Xehanort assures them the χ-Blade will be forged. Terra-Xehanort attacks both Lea and Ventus, removing them from combat, and while Donald destroys Terra-Xehanort with Zettaflare, the Demon Tide (which Aqua hallucinates is made of Anti-Aquas) proceeds to take advantage of their weakness and eliminate Aqua, Ventus, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Lea, and Kairi. While Sora is distraught over the loss of his friends and yields to the Demon Tower, Riku defends his friend long enough to re-inspire hope in Sora's Heart before both are consumed by the Darkness as well.

Thanks to Kairi, Sora is able to maintain his existence in The Final World. When he is restored, he is returned to the moment in which he and Riku were consumed by Darkness, at which point Sora reaches out to Riku's Heart and is guided to him as a Lich attempts to draw Riku's Heart into the deepest depths of Darkness. Sora manages to release Riku's heart, alongside Aqua's and the others, battling the Lich time and time again in order to restore his fallen friends.

When Kairi guides Sora back to the Keyblade Graveyard, the group re-initiates their encounter with Terra-Xehanort, only when Terra-Xehanort attempts to attack Ventus, the Lingering Will intervenes, having been guided to the Guardians of Light by Naminé. Seeing the Lingering Will struggle in the battle, Ven moves in to help, but Aqua stops him, saying they need to handle the army of Heartless, Nobodies, and Unversed coming from behind them. Then, when it seems darkest, Sora is aided by the light of the past in taking down the Demon Tide. Yen Sid then takes this opportunity to cast back the Heartless in order to allow the Guardians of Light to proceed, with Donald and Goofy staying behind in order to help.

The Guardians of Light are subsequently separated by Xehanort when he raises a labyrinth around them. Fighting his way to his friends, Sora finds Aqua and Ventus fighting against Terra-Xehanort and Vanitas. With Sora's help, Aqua and Ventus are able to take Vanitas down. The three then attempt to reach out to Terra once more, but Xehanort uses his control over Terra's body to bind Aqua, Sora, and Ventus in chains. Intent on destroying them once and for all, Terra-Xehanort lifts Aqua and Ventus high into the sky and lets them fall.

Breaking through Xehanort's control, Terra reveals himself to be the guardian used as a weapon by Terra-Xehanort and Ansem, swooping in to save Aqua and Ventus just in time. Afterward, the guardian restrains Terra-Xehanort before it rips off the bandages covering its mouth and declares that it will set things right. Sora then steps in to unlock Terra-Xehanort's heart, in order to release Terra's Heart from Xehanort's control and allow the guardian to reclaim Terra's body, restoring him. Aqua, Terra, and Ventus then share in a tearful reunion, happy to be together again for the first time in over a decade.

After Master Xehanort successfully summons the χ-Blade and unlocks Kingdom Hearts, Aqua aids Sora in trapping Xehanort, who acts as a portal himself due to his existence transcending both space and time - something his younger self had unintentionally revealed to Riku during the Mark of Mastery. Aqua remains in the Keyblade Graveyard while Sora uses the portal to fight Xehanort, alongside Mickey, Riku, Roxas, Xion, Lea, Ventus, and Terra, in order to close Kingdom Hearts.

Following Xehanort's defeat, Aqua journeys through the portal to Scala ad Caelum alongside the other Guardians of Light. Terra begins to walk towards Xehanort while Aqua holds his hand to try to hold him back, believing Terra was planning to get revenge for what Xehanort did. Upon receiving a look of reassurance of Terra, Aqua let go and it was then Eraqus's Heart emerges from Terra's and demands that Xehanort hand over the χ-Blade. After some convincing, Xehanort relinquishes the χ-Blade to Sora, at which point Eraqus turns his attention to his former pupils - apologizing to them for everything he'd put them through in a tearful reunion before allowing his Heart to move on alongside Xehanort's. With everything as it should be, Sora uses the χ-Blade to bring them all back to the Realm of Light.

After some time, Aqua joins Terra, Ventus, Riku, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Lea, Isa, Xion, Roxas, Hayner, Pence, Olette, and a newly restored Naminé in a fun day at the beach, though Kairi, who Sora had helped restore, remains separated from the group with Sora, who then disappears.

Sometime after this, Sora's friends split up their efforts to find him with Terra, Aqua, and Ventus looking for Sora in the Realm of Darkness, donning on their Keyblade armors as they depart.


When she was done we all were shocked and horrified!

Me: My god!

Nico: That is horrible.

Laney: Yeah I still get chills every time I hear about that.

Twilight Sparkle: That sure is awful.

Laney: Yeah it sure was.

June: I bet you got very hungry during that time.

Aqua: I don't even remember eating in that time I was there.

Me: It was horrible to even fathom what was going on to you in there huh?

Aqua: Yeah.

Me: But Kingdom Hearts must be sealed up forever and Xehanort needs to be stopped.

Nico: That's right. It was because of Xehanort that him and his lackeys are out there and are about to destroy everything.

Me: Yep. And I will not let him destroy everything we all hold dear to us.

Eli: I agree bro.

Sora: We're with you all the way.

Cluemaster: It's truly amazing that this book contains the origins of Kingdom Hearts and all the worlds and the χ-blade.

Me: It sure is amazing. And this book will come in handy for future keybladers so that we can make sure they don't make the same mistakes as Xehanort did. After this whole war is over we're going to recruit Dilan, Braig, Ansem the Wise, Even, Ienzo, Isa and Lauriam into the Redemption Squad.

Nico: Smart thinking.

William: They will make great members.

I put the book into my book bag.

Me: (Senses something) Uh oh! I sense a powerful energy here.

Eli: I feel it too! It's evil!

Me: Oh no! I hope it's not who I think it is!

KRABBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

A massive fiery explosion blasted out in front of the library and waves of gears swirled around and converged and we came out of them.

We went outside and in the courtyard of the plaza was a shadowy human figure.

Me: I had a feeling it was you Anti-Aqua!

It was ANTI-AQUA!

Anti Aqua: Oh, I'm not going to fight you all just yet. No. There's someone else who's here to fight you all first. (walks away)

Carnivac: Wait. What does she mean by that?

Maria: She must mean Number 12 of Xehanort's froces.

Out of a Dark Corridor came not Number 12 of Xehanort's forces but rather Number 14! It was EVIL XION!

Xion: (Gasp!) Is that me!?

Nico: It sure is.

Me: There's something different about this version of her.

Eli: I sense it too. It's like she is full of conflict and like she's being pulled in different directions.

Mojo: So, it looks like you want to fight, Xion impostor!

Evil Xion: Send me to the Warp.

Me: Huh? What the?

Lori: Huh? You mean you literally want to go to the Warp right away?

Lola: (feels bad for her) Evil Xion isn't even trying to fight us though.

Lynn: Something's not right here.

Evil Xion: (starts to cry) Didn't you hear me?! I said send me to the Warp!

Bowser Jr: No. Me, Stewie, Lisa, and anyone of Sora's group are gonna fight you. And then, you're gonna tell us what's gotten into you!

Me: Why do you want to be sent to the Warp right away?

Evil Xion: Because all I am is nothing but a pawn and I hate being part of the Organizations plans! I was sent as a test and look what happened to me in Twilight Town.

Roxas: I remember! They killed you.

We gasped in shock!

Me: So that's it! Organization XIII abused you in the most horrible ways!

Xion: That's the dark secret I have that I didn't tell you all.

Lori: Oh man! Xion that's literally horrible!

Me: (GROWLS)

I clenched my fists tight to the point where blood seaped through my knuckles and it dripped onto the floor and burned a hole through it.

Nico put his hand on my shoulder.

Nico: Easy J.D. Easy.

Me: (Sighs) Sorry.

Nico: I know how you feel man. What they were doing to Xion makes me mad too.

Evil Xion: Just send me to the Warp.

Me: No! You don't deserve to be treated like that.

I went up to her.

Me: Look, what happened to you was unforgivable and I promise you that Xehanort and all of his lackeys will all pay the ultimate price for their crimes. What they did infuriates me. I promise they will pay for it.

Evil Xion: But I'm nothing but a…

Evil Xion didn't expect what I was about to do to her next. I hugged her and had tears stream down my face and I gave her a warm feeling.

Me: Xion listen. I promise you that those monsters you used to work for will suffer big time because of it. I won't send you to the Warp because you still have people that care about you and you are going to get people that care for you too in our frenemies the Masters of Evil. You also have Axel and soon you will have a much better organization to work for than those monsters.

Overbite: I'm sorry. But Stewie, Lisa, Bowser Jr., and anyone of Sora's group still has to fight you so Xehanort doesn't get suspicious.

Nico: Overbite wait. Let him talk to her first.

Overbite: Oh all right.

Me: You will be in better hands in our frenemies. After everything that happened to you, you deserve a chance with them. Even your former comrades in the organization are there and they are now better people.

Vypra then appeared.

Vypra: That's right Xion and you will be right at home with them.

Evil Xion: (Sniffles) Really?

Vypra nodded.

Evil Xion: Thank you J.D. Thank you.

She hugged me back.

Me: You're welcome Xion. Now we have a Xion in the Redemption Squad and in M.O.E.

I stood up and she summoned her keyblade.

I went back to everyone.

Nico put his hand on my shoulder.

Nico: That was a great thing you did J.D.

Applejack: You did good sugarcube. We're proud of ya.

Me: Thanks guys. Okay Sora, Stewie, Lisa, B.J., Xion, you're up.

They went up to her.

Evil Xion: (To Xion) Your clothes look really nice.

Xion: Thank you. I forgot how I looked in an Organization XIII coat.

Lisa Loud: Shall we get this fight started? (Summons her chemical and gears keyblade)

Evil Xion: Yes we shall.

They got to fighting and it was powerful and awesome and they were unleashing the elemental forces of nature all over.

Titanium Man: (watching the fight) Kind of weird that my suit hasn't detected any Heartless yet.

Me: That's because they are invisible.

Eli: I sense them.

Eli fired blasts of Force Lightning and flushed them all out and there were hundreds of them.

Titanium Man: Now I see them.

Varie: Lets get them guys!

We went at all the Heartless and slashed and blasted and blew them apart and we were getting stronger and stronger with each one killed.

We were getting more and more powerful with each Heartless we killed.

Razorclaw: I think this is the moment where a new hero shows up.

TOINK TOINK.

Evil Xion felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned around to see a walking dog there.

Dudley Puppy: Hi there. (punches her in the face)

POW!

We saw Dudley Puppy and Kitty Katswell!

Laney: Dudley and Kitty!

Kitty: Laney!

They hugged.

Dudley: Laney you're doing great!

Laney: It's great you're here.

Me: They are part of T.U.F.F.

Nico: T.U.F.F.? What's that?

Me: It stands for Turbo Undercover Fighting Force. It's a huge police force and spy organization.

Nico: Wow! I've heard of them. They are really awesome and funny.

Me: They sure are.

Dudley: It's awesome to meet you all.

Kitty: We'll take over the fight. You focus on Anti Aqua.

Iron Lung: Just don't hurt her too badly, okay?

Kitty: We won't.

Nico: Awesome.

Laney: We'll see you guys soon.

We went to find Anti-Aqua

Me: I'll have some shots in on Anti-Aqua first and then we'll all face her next.

Nico: Fair enough.

Eli: This is gonna be good.

Me: Yeah. Let me see here.

I sensed for her.

Me: She's close. COME ON OUT ANTI-AQUA YOU COWARD!

Anti-Aqua came out and she had a keyblade ready and I had my sword unsheathed.

Me: You will pay for your crimes Anti-Aqua.

Blackout: Alright. Let's settle this right here. Right now!

Anti Aqua: Yes. Let's.

Blackout swung his rotor blades at Anti Aqua.

She blocked them and I teleported and kicked her in the back and smashed her down and then she got up and me and Anti-Aqua clashed violently as sparks were flying all over.

Brass Knuckles: How about you have a knuckle sandwich?! (punches Anti-Aqua)

KAPOW!

He smashed her into the wall of a building.

Me: Try a blast of fire!

I fired a massive blast of fire and burned her all over.

Troy: Since this world is where the χ-blade originated, I know just the team to use.

Megaforce Rangers: Legendary Ranger Mode: Mighty Morphin!

They turned into the Mighty Morphin Rangers.

I kicked her in the face and sent her flying and I fired a powerful blast of fire at her and it hit her and exploded.

KRABBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!

Lincoln fired many blasts of lightning at her and they hit her and exploded all over.

KRABBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM! KRABBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM! KRABBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM! KRABBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM! KRABBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM! KRABBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM! KRABBBBOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!

Anti-Aqua went flying and she skidded on the water and fired powerful blasts of keyblade energy at us and we deflected them all over the place and they exploded with incredible power!

KRABBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM! KRABBBBBBOOOOOOOOOMMM! KRABBBOOOOOOOOOMMM! KRABBBOOOOOOOOOMMM! KRABBBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMM! KRABBBOOOOOOOOOMMMM! KRABBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM! KRABBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM! KRABBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM! KRABBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!

Lola fired powerful blasts of fire and they hit Anti-Aqua all over and exploded.

KRABBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM! KRABBBOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM! KRABBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM! KRABBBBOOOOOOOOOMMM!

Nico fired powerful blasts of fire and lightning with Nuova Shenron and Rage Shenron's powers and they hit Anti-Aqua and exploded with incredible power!

KRABBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!
