Sora reunited with Kairi on his way back to the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], learning her light kept him from fading like their friends. They returned to find their friends restored and ready to take another crack at the Organization; however, they were once again blocked by Terra-Xehanort. Thanks to Terra's [[Lingering Will]], Terra-Xehanort was repelled. The Demon Tide returned, but this time, the light of the past from the first war appeared in the form of a twister of Keyblades and aided the Guardians in defeating it. Afterwards, Dark Riku summoned a new horde to defeat the Guardians. Thankfully, [[Yen Sid]] arrived and held the horde at bay with Donald and [[Goofy]], so the Guardians could fight the Organization. | Sora reunited with Kairi on his way back to the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], learning her light kept him from fading like their friends.

The Guardians split up to fight the Organization. Riku fought Dark Riku and Xigbar, Mickey fought Luxord, Larxene, and Marluxia, Aqua and Ventus fought Vanitas and Terra-Xehanort and Lea and Kairi fought Xion and [[Saïx]]. Sora helped each group defeat their enemies, with each victory, yielded a benefit: the Nobodies faded away to be re-completed, Dark Riku was extracted from his vessel by the original [[Riku Replica]], so his body could be used to revive [[Naminé]]; Luxord gave Sora a "wild card"; Vanitas vanished for good, while [[Terra]]'s heart was restored to his body; Xion defected from the Organization again and Saïx made peace with Lea before fading away. [[Roxas]] also returned, thanks to [[Vexen]]'s work behind the scenes.

However, Xemnas kidnapped Kairi to lure Sora, Riku, and Mickey into a final battle; Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort returned to the past. With all but Master Xehanort defeated, it was revealed that each defeat his Organization suffered forged a copy of [[No Name]]. To force a final confrontation, Xehanort heartlessly struck down Kairi; Sora clashed Keyblades with him, unintentionally creating the thirteenth key. The Keyblades fused into the [[χ-blade]], which Xehanort unlocked to purge the worlds. | ||
Riku quickly devised a plan to seal away Xehanort by remembering that he can transcend time; they can seal him within himself. While Mickey, Riku, Ven, Aqua, Terra, Roxas, Lea, and Xion hold off Kingdom Hearts, Sora was joined by Donald and Goofy in sealing Xehanort. However, this didn't work out; instead, they were transported to [[Scala ad Caelum]], Xehanort's boyhood training ground. Xehanort merged with the lingering essence of his Organization, becoming powerful enough to warp the world; however, he was defeated and forced to call on the χ-blade again to restart the purge. Despite this, Sora was able to fatally wound him. The rest of the guardians arrived and the spirit of [[Eraqus]] convinced Xehanort to accept "checkmate". Xehanort gave the χ-blade to Sora before passing on with Eraqus. With the help of his friends, Sora used the χ-blade to close Kingdom Hearts, bringing an end to the second Keyblade War. | Riku quickly devised a plan to seal away Xehanort by remembering that he can transcend time; they can seal him within himself.

They successfully return to the [[Destiny Islands]], where everyone is celebrating. However, no sooner do Kairi and Sora share a romantic moment, he fades away as a price of misusing the power of waking. The [[foreteller]]s are later summoned at the Keyblade Graveyard by Xigbar, who reveals himself to be the current incarnation of [[Luxu]]. As part of his role, he was to ensure a second Keyblade War. Not too far away are [[Maleficent]] and [[Pete]], who have their eyes on the [[Black Box]] that Luxu has with him. | ||
