In order to conduct an experiment on the growth of hearts, Young Xehanort takes several of Andy's toys and traps them in an alternate version of their world called the [[Toy Box]]. He has a particular interest in pitting [[Buzz Lightyear]] and [[Woody]] against each other to learn about the relationship between hearts and bonds. The toys (accompanied by Sora, Donald, and Goofy) track Xehanort down to Galaxy Toys, where he admits the fraudulent nature of the world before summoning Heartless to take over several Gigas action figures and attack the group. | In order to conduct an experiment on the growth of hearts, Young Xehanort takes several of Andy's toys and traps them in an alternate version of their world called the [[Toy Box]].

Once the toys find [[Rex]] in the game store, Young Xehanort has a Heartless possess Buzz and forces him to shoot at Woody. Xehanort dodges Sora's attacks while explaining his plan: to separate Woody, Buzz, and their friends from Andy, who was the source of their hearts through their close bond, so as to weaken them, the appearance of Sora and their distrust of him being the last straw until they could be taken over. He then traps Sora in a video game. Young Xehanort takes Buzz through a Corridor of Darkness before being followed by Sora and Woody. They dispel the darkness of isolation surrounding Buzz through the light of friendship, teaching Xehanort that empty vessels can truly grow hearts. He disappears and leaves behind the [[King of Toys]] Heartless as a "parting gift." | Once the toys find [[Rex]] in the game store, Young Xehanort has a Heartless possess Buzz and forces him to shoot at Woody.

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. | 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.

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]]. | 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.

After Sora defeats the remenants of the Real | After Sora defeats the remenants 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. | ||
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. | Sora urges Xehanort to admit defeat, but Xehanort states that it’s too late.

The rest of the guardians of light arrive, having followed their hearts to find Sora. Terra approaches Master Xehanort and reminds him that there’s more to light than meets the eye, causing Xehanort to remember that Eraqus’s heart has been with Terra all along. Eraqus emerges from within Terra and tells Xehanort to hand the χ-blade over. Xehanort initially refuses to admit defeat, but Eraqus declares checkmate. | The rest of the guardians of light arrive, having followed their hearts to find Sora.
