After Ansem and Xemnas are also defeated, Master Xehanort 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 reminds him that he plans for every eventuality and reveals Kairi, whom Xemnas had kidnapped. Before Sora can reach her, Xehanort slays Kairi. Sora, Riku, and Mickey all attempt to attack Master Xehanort, but are easily repelled.

As the thirteenth key appears, Master 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]].

After Sora defeats the remnants of the Real Organization XIII, Xehanort appears again and explains that Scala ad Caelum use 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 remnants of the Real Organization XIII, granting him a set of [[Keyblade Armor]] resembling {{w|Baphomet}}. Summoning No Name, he proceeds to reshape the soul-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 final blow.

Unbeknownst to the guardians, Xehanort takes five fragments of Kairi's surviving heart and scatters them across Scala ad Caelum, having hidden two of them 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.

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 free of the darkness that has continuously sprouted within people's hearts, one which he will shepherd as its leader. Sora rebukes him, stating that a true leader would know that destiny cannot be controlled, reminding Xehanort of Eraqus.
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.
