Kingdom Hearts (series): Difference between revisions

Long ago before the great war was fought with Keyblades, it was fought by the physical manifestations of light and thirteen darknesses for great periods of times. Eventually, the Darkness removed their physical form becoming a single entity to defeat their counterpart, but its will could not be maintained and in order to expand and propagate their number, they slowly corrupted people’s hearts creating Pureblood Heartless. [[The Master of Masters]] and other Keyblade wielders begin to fight against the Heartless.  

After the war the duty of preserving the light is passed down to Ephemer, Skuld and their friends [[Brain]], [[Lauriam]] and surprisingly Ventus as we learn of his time as a dandelion before Master Xehanort found him. To begin their new status as Union Leaders and aware of Player's nightmares alongside Chirithy they created new dream eaters called pets that would help the wielders forget the past (save for the Union Leaders). While reliving old along with new adventures the wielder's peaceful tranquility was broken when Darkness found them again but this time with ghostly apparitions appearing everywhere and the Darklings still pursuing them. Soon Lauriam noticed his younger sister [[Strelitzia]] was missing. Through Brain's deductive reasoning the Union Leaders discovered that they were trapped in a data version of Daybreak Town and the glitches were a result of another world trying to connect, along with the Darklings, aware of the future ahead Brain promised to free them. In pursuit of the creatures into the new world Ephemer and Player learn that the Darklings like Lauriam were looking for someone too.

Knowing of her intentions but Player being here already Brain figured out that there is an imposter in their ranks and with Ventus and Skuld arriving he asks them to remember their encounter with Master Ava. However hearing that Ven's encounter was different Brain reveals to him the shocking truth that he is the imposter. Knowing this wasn't Ava's plan and that he didn't know the Union Leaders suspected that Darkness may have done this and by pushing their comrade to remember Ventus recalls meeting Master Ava inside an abandoned building and left together heading towards the Clock Tower but not much else except for Strelitzia dying with that they resolve to help him and tell Lauriam what happened to his sister.

Meanwhile unknown to them, Maleficent came into their world led by the [[Darkness (character)|Darkness entity]] and despite Lauriam's efforts she escaped in one of the lifeboat pods unknowingly beginning the world's destruction. As the others returned to the tower the strain of remembering puts Ven to sleep while Brain, Ephemer and Skuld tried to figure out Darkness' next move aware that it was here but didn't know why or what it tried to gain by striking down Strelitzia and replacing her with Ventus. Through his dreams Ventus remembered what really happened, Darkness used him as a scapegoat and it struck her down waking up distraught that he couldn't do anything to save her. Then, their conversation was misunderstood by a vengeful Lauriam who demanded to know what happened to Strelitzia but before his friends could explain Ventus appears and reveals that he is responsible for her demise despite the other's protest. But before he could say more the grief and anger knock him unconscious again revealing the true culprit to the group.

Meeting the entity the group discovered why it targeted Strelitzia as it played on Ven's hidden desire power but knowing of their comrade's gentle heart they knew he would never resort to such means. But when Darkness believed gaining what was more important than how, realizing that his sister was gone for nothing Lauriam tried to avenge her but was easily defeated. The reason why Darkness hid inside Ventus was because it was written in the book by the Master discovering that the two were friends. Discussing further the Union Leaders also find out that there is more than one willful darkness around and the only reason they couldn't be seen was because they weren't acknowledged yet until now hearing enough Brain and the others decide to fight against the entity but with no physical form it couldn't be destroyed.

Backed into a corner with Ephemer only standing despite being told that the entity had no goal Brain didn't believe it as it was still here. They found out that it was Darkness' intention to infect and expand by using Ventus' body they could separate from the whole and act independently. Lauriam finally accepts the truth about Strelitzia's fate and fights alongside the others with Player joining their ranks. Brimming with confidence the Union Leaders believed they could return to the real world only to be dashed when Darkness told them of the lifeboat's real purpose to be used as a last defense if Darkness couldn't be defeated and when used the world will be destroyed and sealed off with it already starting. Regardless they still fight briefly beating it back, the Darklings appear and come for Ventus but he awakens enveloped in light dispelling the creatures believing himself to be “pure light”. With that he decided to his power to give Darkness a form they could beat and fights the entity alone.
