Terra-Xehanort: Difference between revisions

'''Terra-Xehanort''', also referred to as '''Xehanort''' and '''Ansem'''<!--, and '''Not-Ansem'''<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'''''; '''Donald:''' "It's the guy who's NOT Ansem!" / '''Goofy:''' "You mean it's his Nobody!"</ref>-->, is the result of [[Master Xehanort]]'s heart forced into [[Terra]]'s body, and the human form of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]] and [[Xemnas]].

Terra-Xehanort first confronts the [[Guardians of Light]] in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], intent of extracting their hearts so the [[χ-blade]] can be forged without resistance. Initially posing as [[Terra]], [[Aqua]] sees through his facade and tells him to drop the act. He strikes down [[Ventus]] and [[Lea]], before [[Donald]] uses a [[Zettaflare]] to blast him away. However, a massive [[Demon Tide]] appears in his place, swallowing everyone and scattering them throughout the worlds.{{fact}} [[Sora]] uses the [[power of waking]] to save everyone's hearts from the [[Lich]] and return them to the moment before the attack. Thanks to [[Naminé]] reaching out to [[Lingering Will]], Terra-Xehanort is intercepted by it this time, and is forced to fight it off.

The clash between Terra-Xehanort and Lingering Will continues for some time, with the sentient armor intent on ending the possessed Terra to protect Aqua and Ventus. However, Terra-Xehanort grabs it by its head via the Dark Figure, squeezing it. Before it can break, the future Sora arrives and frees it; however, Lingering Will takes a deathblow meant for Sora, falling apart. Terra-Xehanort sends Sora into darkness to await his fate for misusing the [[power of waking]].

Terra-Xehanort later reappears along with [[Vanitas]], fighting off Aqua and Ventus. After his defeat, Aqua and Ventus attempt to get Terra to resist Xehanort's control, but Terra-Xehanort instead summons chains to wrap them up along with Sora. However, after Ventus says he kept his promise to be there for Terra, the Dark Figure manifests and breaks the chains before grabbing Terra-Xehanort by the face. It pulls the bandages over its face off, and speaks in Terra's voice, revealing to be a container for Terra's heart. Sora paralyzes Terra-Xehanort with a beam of light and Terra's heart flies back into his body, purging Xehanort from it.

As an apprentice under Ansem the Wise, Xehanort wears a white lab coat with rather loose sleeves that is partway zipped down. The coat also has pockets roughly where Xehanort's hips are. He wears black boots that are identical to those worn by Ansem, Xemnas, and the members of [[Organization XIII]], with a white/silver lining along the top and an indentation on the sides. Underneath his coat, Xehanort wears a grey vest over a white collar shirt, along with a purple ascot around his neck. During this time, his hair is worn long, with two bangs framing his face. His eyes have gone from yellow to brown and his hair has become whiter in color. His hair also sports three backward-facing spikes, one at the top of his head, and one on either side, just above his ears.

Shortly after Terra-Xehanort is defeated by the Lingering Will, and loses some of his memories, he ends up in Radiant Garden, and begins to question his existence upon meeting Aqua - by strangling her. By the time he is found by Braig, Dilan, and Ansem, he has lost all of his memories entirely—except for the name "Xehanort", although at one point, Braig insinuates that the amnesia is a mere ruse.

As a fusion of Terra and Master Xehanort, Terra-Xehanort is able to use many of both Keyblade wielders' abilities, and combines Master Xehanort's magical prowess with Terra's youthful agility and raw physical strength while also being backed up by the former's wit. Terra-Xehanort uses Master Xehanort's Keyblade to perform techniques like [[Ars Solum]], a fast combo comprised of multiple hits. He can use [[Meteor]] and [[Quake]] as well, and he is one of the few bosses that is able to heal with Curaga. When in desperate need of power, Terra-Xehanort gains access to the Dark Impulse [[Command Style]], as well as the [[Dark Volley]] and [[Ultima Cannon]] [[Shotlock]]s.

*Terra-Xehanort does not serve as a boss battle until the series' sixth installment ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. Until then, he was simply called "Xehanort" and was portrayed as the [[Xehanort Saga]]'s main antagonist, although [[Master Xehanort]] ended up taking that role instead.
