[[Yen Sid]] puts [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] through a [[Mark of Mastery exam]] in order for them to become full-fledged [[Keyblade Master]]s and counter the coming return of [[Master Xehanort]]. As part of this trial, the two are sent to several worlds that have been restored from the Heartless' attack following the defeat of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]], but have gone into [[Dreaming Realm|a state of "deep sleep"]] that disconnects them from the other worlds. These worlds are plagued by [[Dream Eaters]]—creatures born from darkness that seek out the sleeping worlds' Keyholes. Sora and Riku's given task is to reawaken the sleeping worlds by unlocking the seven Keyholes they find there and then return to the [[Realm of Light]], after which they will be deemed Keyblade Masters. The two travel through the sleeping worlds independently from each other after being separated from at the beginning of the exam, and recruit benevolent "Spirit" Dream Eaters to aid them in finding the Keyholes and battling the malevolent "Nightmare" Dream Eaters that try to destroy the worlds.

During the exam, Sora and Riku cross paths with the resurrected Ansem and [[Xemnas]], as well as a mysterious young man in a Black Coat with ties to Master Xehanort. The three bring Sora to [[The World That Never Was]], where he encounters [[Xigbar]] and the young man once again. Trapped in an illusion, Sora discovers that the young man is actually [[Young Xehanort|an alternate timeline version of Master Xehanort in his youth]], who was paid a visit by the disembodied Ansem via time travel. Young Xehanort thus gained the ability to travel through time and has been going to different periods of time to gather various incarnations of [[Xehanort]]. Sora is forced into a comatose state by the young Xehanort and his heart is damaged by Xemnas, though what remains of his heart is protected by Ventus' suit of armor. Riku learns of Sora's fate and goes to rescue him, only to be confronted by the young Xehanort, who reveals his own task of finding vessels, including Sora, for a new Organization led by the newly revived Master Xehanort and comprised of himself, Young Xehanort, Ansem, Xemnas, Xigbar, [[Isa]], and six more hooded figures, so he can pit them against seven Keyblade wielders and recreate the [[χ-blade]] to unleash another [[Keyblade War]]. Before Master Xehanort can place a piece of his heart inside Sora, Sora is rescued by Riku, [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], [[Goofy]], and [[Lea]]—the revived human form of the original Organization's [[Axel]]—forcing Master Xehanort and the new Organization to retreat.
Meanwhile in the [[Radiant Garden]], [[Lea]] awakens and realises that he has been restored to his original form following the destruction of his [[Nobody]], [[Axel]]. He finds that his fellow members, [[Dilan]], [[Even]], [[Aeleus]] and [[Ienzo]], have also been revived, but after searching the world, Lea fails to find any of the other revived members. Ienzo explains that when a [[Heartless]] and Nobody of a specific person are destroyed, they return to the world where they became the Heartless and Nobody in the first place, unless their world was destroyed. Lea, however, remembers that [[Braig]] and [[Isa]] were in Radiant Garden when they became [[Xigbar]] and [[Saïx]], and ventures out to search for them when they fail to turn up.  


Sora's comatose body is brought back to Yen Sid's tower, where Riku enters his body and restores his heart by gathering its broken pieces and releasing Sora from [[Ventus]]' [[Keyblade Armor|armor]], now possessed by a Nightmare. After Sora reawakens, only Riku is declared a Keyblade Master by Yen Sid. Undaunted by his failure, Sora embarks on a new journey by himself to train, while Lea shocks everybody present by summoning his own Keyblade.
[[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Goofy]], while overseeing the exam with Yen Sid, are delivered a note by [[Diablo]], [[Maleficent]]'s pet raven, along with the crown of [[Minnie Mouse|Queen Minnie]]. The three rush back to [[Disney Castle]] via the [[Gummi Ship]] and confront Maleficent and [[Pete]] in the castle library, where they are holding Minnie hostage. Maleficent tells them about her first encounter with Master Xehanort and demands access to the Data Worlds, but Mickey refuses, so Maleficent attacks, but a corridor of darkness appears and the [[Eternal Flames]] burst through, one blocking Maleficent's attack and the other distracting Pete long enough to lose hold of Minnie. Their leverage gone, Maleficent and Pete leave, while out of the corridor of darkness steps Lea himself, who accompanies them back to the Mysterious Tower and makes a shocking request from Yen Sid.
 
Back in the Dreaming Realm, Sora and Riku cross paths with the resurrected Ansem and [[Xemnas]], as well as a mysterious young man in a Black Coat with ties to Master Xehanort, all of whom gloat them at every chance. Eventually, once all the seven keyholes are sealed, Sora finds himself in [[The World That Never Was]] instead of the [[Realm of Light]]. He encounters Xigbar and the young man once again. Trapped in an illusion, Sora discovers that the young man is actually [[Young Xehanort|an alternate timeline version of Master Xehanort in his youth]], who was paid a visit by the disembodied Ansem via time travel. Young Xehanort thus gained the ability to travel through time and has been going to different periods of time to gather various incarnations of [[Xehanort]]. Sora desperately tries to reach the Castle, but is plagued with illusions of [[Roxas]], [[Xion]], [[Terra]], [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus]], leaving his heart more vulnerable. Eventually, he encounters both Xemnas and Xigbar, who go on to explain that Young Xehanort has been gathering several different incarnations of Xehanort in order to create [[Second Organization XIII|a new Organization XIII]], the members so far being Master Xehanort, Young Xehanort, Ansem, Xemnas and Xigbar. This was the original plan for the first [[Organization XIII]], when Master Xehanort had planned to place a fragment of his own heart inside each of the Nobodies, who were deceived into thinking they lacked hearts in order to ensure their loyalty to Xemnas, but their unforeseen independence, which was demonstrated mostly by Axel and Roxas, made his plan impossible to realise. Refusing to become one of Master Xehanort's vessels, Sora battles Xemnas. Though he manages to win, his heart is damaged and he falls into a comatose state, whereupon he is taken to the Castle by Young Xehanort. Sora thusly falls into the darkness, but his broken heart is enveloped by Ventus's [[Keyblade Armor]].
 
Riku eventually arrives in the Castle and locates Sora in the throne room, where he is forced to fight Young Xehanort. Though he manages to defeat him and force him back, Master Xehanort is revived just as Mickey arrives on the scene. Master Xehanort explains his past endeavours to Mickey and Riku, his failed attempt to create the [[X-Blade]], and his intention of creating the new Organization XIII in order to form thirteen darknesses to clash against seven lights, which will recreate the X-Blade and restart the [[Keyblade War]]. With Ansem and Xemnas restraining Riku and Mickey, Master Xehanort prepares to place a fragment of his heart inside Sora, but Lea arrives on the scene and protects Sora. Xigbar retaliates by setting one of the Organization's members on Lea, who turns out to be Isa himself. Ansem summons his Guardian, but Donald and Goofy arrive via Mickey's old Star Shard and defeat it. With his plans temporarily derailed, Master Xehanort retreats with his Organization.
 
Sora's comatose body is brought back to Yen Sid's tower, where Riku enters his body and restores his heart by gathering its broken pieces and releasing Sora from [[Ventus]]'s Keyblade Armor, now possessed by a Nightmare. After Sora reawakens, only Riku is declared a Keyblade Master by Yen Sid. Undaunted by his failure, Sora embarks on a new journey by himself to train, while Lea shocks everybody present by summoning [[Lea's Keyblade|his own Keyblade]]: his request from Yen Sid was to become a Keybearer.
