[[File:Lea Awakens 02 KH3D.png|thumb|left|Lea awakens in Ansem's lab.]]

Lea has a dream of [[Roxas]] reminding Axel of the promise he made to him and [[Xion]], to always be there to bring them back, and he awakens, with his memories of his time as Axel intact. Discovering that four of the founding members of Organization XIII, Aeleus, [[Even]], Dilan and [[Ienzo]], have been recompleted as well, Lea notices that [[Braig]] and Isa are missing and decides to look for them. After talking with Aeleus in Ansem the Wise's study, he finds out there is no one else in the Castle. Deciding to check the castle grounds, Lea is told by Aeleus not to bother. Ienzo explains to Lea if Braig and Isa were recompleted, they would have appeared in the same place as the others. This makes Lea wonder if Braig and Isa could have been "blasted off to some other world", which Ienzo explains is possible if the world they came from no longer exists when they are reborn; they'd reappear in [[Traverse Town]] or a similar place if that was the case. Lea then finds the remnants of Ansem's notes about the [[Door to Darkness]], and leaves to bring back Braig and Isa, without telling Ienzo and Aeleus how, complaining that he always gets stuck with the icky jobs.

Lea ~~shares ice cream with~~ Kairi  to celebrate them both summoning Keyblades. Kairi gets excited to duel in the ring, telling Lea to promise not to hold back; it stirs ~~his~~ memories of Xion. Kairi asks him to stop apologizing ~~all the time~~, and he agrees on the condition she calls him "Axel".

While Sora and company set on their respective quests in preparation for the second Keyblade War, Lea and Kairi continue their training in the [[Secret Forest]]. When he catches Kairi writing a letter to Sora, she admits it is more for herself. Lea then presents Kairi with some sea-salt ice cream to celebrate them both summoning Keyblades. Kairi catches Lea staring and inquires if he is trying to remember something, to which he confirms. As Kairi gets excited to duel in the ring, telling Lea to promise not to hold back, it stirs memories of Xion in Lea's heart. Kairi asks him to stop apologizing, and he agrees on the condition she calls him "Axel".

As Lea continues his training, he is joined by Kairi, who is also beginning to undergo training in the art of the Keyblade. During their time together, Lea constantly apologizes to Kairi for kidnapping her back when he was Axel. Initially apprehensive about him, Kairi warms up to Lea during their training, seeing him as someone she cannot bring herself to hate when she learns that he also has a friend that he is trying to save. Lea sometimes finds himself staring at Kairi's face, and when she would ask him the reason behind his stares, Lea is unable to explain himself, but feels like it is something he should remember.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour-]]'''''; [http://kh13.com/news/exclusive-canon-back-story-for-kingdom-hearts-iii-shown-at-kingdom-hearts-orchestra-world-tour-in-japan Read translation of the program via KH13.com]</ref>{{?}}-->

[[File:Nothing's As It Should Be 01 KHIII.png|thumb|200px|right|Lea and Kairi discuss the journey ahead at the end of their training.]]

Some time later, the pair receive new outfits from Yen Sid, but unlike Kairi, Lea decides to stick to his black coat in hopes it will make him more memorable. The pair concur that Naminé and Roxas deserve their own lives, and Lea confides in her about his old friend, [[Ventus]], and how when he later met Ventus's doppelgänger, Roxas, he decided not to inform the boy out of fears that he would also vanish. Lea is comforted by Kairi, who assures him that Ventus will remember him.

When the guardians assemble at the Mysterious Tower after Aqua and Ventus are retrieved, Yen Sid introduces Lea and Kairi to the rescued wielders. Lea comments on how confusing the relationships between each of them are , but Ventus surprises him by remembering him from their meeting in Radiant Garden. As the group plan out how to retrieve their remaining friends, Lea pledges to get Roxas back.

[[File:Opposing Goals 01 KHIII.png|thumb|left|At the Twilight Town Clock Tower, Lea and Saïx discuss what happened to the girl they befriended at Radiant Garden.]]

Lea spends the evening at the Clock Tower, eating his own ice cream while carrying two extra bars. Saïx appears in peace, ~~taking~~ the third bar. The pair reminisce on ~~their plan~~ to rescue their friend, [[Subject X]], and ended up being pulled into the Organization. When Saïx ~~says its impossible to find~~ their friends, Lea counters that he'll not only retrieve them, but Isa as well, and Saïx takes his leave.

Lea spends the evening at the Clock Tower, eating his own ice cream while carrying two extra bars for his lost friends. As he rues his lack of progress on rescuing Roxas, Saïx appears in peace and points out that Lea has taken Twilight Town as his new home, and cannot remember who the third bar is for. The pair reminisce on how they apprenticed themselves to Ansem the Wise in order to rescue their friend, [[Subject X]], and ended up being pulled into the Organization. When Saïx expresses his resignation toward retrieving their lost friends, Lea counters that he'll not only retrieve them, but Isa as well, and Saïx takes his leave after noting that Lea has given up the teardrop tattoos that were meant to keep him from crying.

[[File:You Admit It 01 KHIII.png|thumb|right|Lea cries and embraces Roxas and Xion as they are finally reunited.]]

At the Skein of Severance, Lea and Kairi pair up to fight Saïx and Xion but are overpowered by Saïx shortly after Sora ~~arrives~~. Xemnas appears and condemns Lea as a traitor and prepares to dispatch him, but is stopped by Xion. Xemnas commands her to finish the execution, but Roxas's heart stirs within Sora and calls out to Xion; both of their hearts ~~enter~~ their designated Replicas, forcing Xemnas to kidnap Kairi and flee. Lea is left to recover as Sora, Roxas, and Xion subdue Saïx, who admits ~~jealousy for~~ Axel's friendship with Roxas and Xion.

Lea, Roxas, and Xion show up just after Master Xehanort claims Kingdom Hearts. Lea joins the other guardians in holding Kingdom Hearts shut while simultaneously trapping Xehanort within his own portal.

After Sora, Donald, and Goofy defeat Xehanort within the portal, Lea and the others follow after them and share their light with Sora so that he can close Kingdom Hearts using the χ-blade. The group is then ejected back to the Keyblade Graveyard, where Sora leaves them to retrieve Kairi.

[[File:Lea KHBBS.png|thumb|150px|left|Lea in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''.]]

During his youth in Radiant Garden, Lea looks about the same age as Ventus. His hair resembles his Nobody's, but shorter and with the spikes styled upward. Lea has a slight {{w|widow's peak}}, a trait he also shares with Axel, though Lea's is more noticeable. Lea's eyes are also more of a blue-green color than Axel's striking green. He wears a sleeveless orange jacket with a white, sleeveless shirt underneath, and tan, baggy pants with red and white sneakers and black socks. The pockets of his jacket are a much darker shade of orange than the rest of it. He also wears a yellow and brown {{w|keffiyeh}} around his neck. The pattern of this keffiyeh changes abruptly near Lea's neck, from stripes to a very organized checkerboard pattern. Similar to [[Braig]]'s scarf, the tip of Lea's keffiyeh is frayed slightly. He bears a curious resemblance to [[Hayner]].

After being revived following Axel's demise, Lea wears the [[black coat]] he wore during his time as Axel and appears identical to his former Nobody, only lacking the tear-shaped markings below his eyes, and having a slightly darker skin tone.
