Indeterminate Years
Full view of Scala ad Caelum Daybreak Town is eventually rebuilt into the picturesque city of Scala ad Caelum, the "city of Keyblade Wielders." The head Masters of the city are bequeathed the No Name, and continue to pass it down through the generations.
Where It Started 01 KH3D.png On the Destiny Islands, a young Xehanort is approached by Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, one of his future selves, and recruited into the Real Organization XIII, destined to take part in the Second Keyblade War. KHDR icon.png
KH3D icon.png
Missing Image.png Xehanort is returned to his proper place in time, with his memories of the future gone. He somehow finds his way to Scala ad Caelum, and together with his friends Eraqus, Hermod, Bragi, Urd and Vor begins his training under the dutiful eye of Master Odin. KHDR icon.png
Missing Image.png Seven upperclassmen from Master Odin's class disappear while hunting for Heartless. Xehanort and his friends are tasked to finding their whereabouts. KHDR icon.png
Missing Image.png Four years after the incident regarding the upperclassmen, Xehanort and Eraqus visit a cemetery in Scala ad Caelum. Xehanort places a flower on four gravestones, with a determination to see other worlds before undertaking the Mark of Mastery exam. KHDR icon.png
Missing Image.png During his travels, Xehanort encounters the Master of Masters and is gifted the Black Coat, which will shield him from darkness and allow him to see even more worlds.
Missing Image.png Xehanort returns from his travels, now jaded and cynical of what he has seen of the worlds and of human nature. He confides the results of his journey with the Master, and with a little bit of coaxing from him, is now determined to become the Dark Seeker, with the aim to save the worlds from a "false light" and return balance. 3RM icon.png
Missing Image.png Xehanort and Eraqus both pass their exams and earn the Mark of Mastery. Xehanort is bequeathed the No Name and begins his dark journey as a Seeker. Eraqus takes the role of a Guardian, and begins his dutiful watch over the Land of Departure.
Flashback The Keyblade Masters 01 KHBBS.png Many decades pass, with Xehanort and Eraqus both growing into old men. In the Land of Departure, Xehanort reveals his intentions to restart the Keyblade War and learn its many secrets. Eraqus, outraged by his recklessness, confronts him and in the ensuing clash Xehanort scars his old friend's face. The two part ways on bitter terms. BBS icon.png
Flashback Vanitas's Making 01 KHBBS.png Some years later, Xehanort discovers Ventus and trains him as his apprentice. Ventus fails to meet his expectations, and thus Xehanort extracts the darkness from his heart, creating the being Vanitas. This severely damages Ventus's heart, and leaves him in a comatose state. BBS icon.png
Birth by Sleep 01 KHBBS.png Still comatose, Xehanort decides to lay Ventus's body to rest on his homeworld of Destiny Islands. Ventus, however, manages to regain some of sentience back, summoning his Keyblade. Xehanort, now seeing opportunity once again in the young Ventus, takes him to Eraqus where the boy can train with his old friend's apprentices, Terra and Aqua. Meanwhile, what is left of Ventus's heart forms a connection with another young heart - of a boy named Sora. With Sora's help, Ventus is slowly able to heal his own heart. BBS icon.png
The Search for Master Xehanort
Mark of Mastery 01 KHBBS.png Terra and Aqua prepare to take their Mark of Mastery exam. Eraqus, wanting to bury the hatchet with Xehanort, invites his friend to observe the exam. Xehanort accepts, but unknowingly to Eraqus, kickstarts his plans into motion. BBS icon.png
Another Road 02 KHBBS.png Aqua passes her exam, while Terra fails his. Seeing opportunity in his instability, Xehanort coaches the young man into channeling his darkness, not resisting it, as the surest way of obtaining more power. BBS icon.png
The Masked Boy 01 KHBBS.png Shortly after, Xehanort disappears while Yen Sid informs Eraqus of a new threat: The Unversed, monsters who feed on negative emotions and have been causing a ruckus on a number of worlds. Eraqus tasks Terra and Aqua to deal with the threat, presenting Terra with a second chance at proving himself. Secretly, however, he tasks Aqua to observe and keep an eye on him, and to immediately bring him back should he be seduced by the darkness. As Terra departs on his mission, Vanitas appears before Ventus and taunts him regarding Terra's wellbeing and future. Worried about his friend, Ventus rushes after him to Eraqus's shock. Eraqus tasks Aqua to immediately bring him back as she departs. BBS icon.png
The Abomination 01 KHBBS.png Throughout a series of adventures on multiple worlds, Aqua and Ventus both try to catch up to Terra to no avail. Terra, however, has been in contact with Master Xehanort multiple times.

Data-Sora relives many of Sora's own adventures from his first journey, though with some differences here and there: The bugs, along with attempts by Maleficent and Pete to to conquer the Datascape. Eventually, it is revealed that a data copy of Namine left that message behind. Sora's own Heart contains painful memories that do not belong to him. If he is to help the people to whom the memories belong, he must endure the hurt. As Data-Sora was capable of enduring it, Mickey departs knowing a difficult new journey lies ahead. Elsewhere, Maleficent confides in Pete that the Journal and the "Date Escape" is strikingly similar to the worlds created by the Book of Prophecies, and intends to take its powers for herself.

However, they are all confronted by a young man in a black coat who bears an uncanny resemblance to Master Xehanort from his youth.

Missing Image.png Back at Yen Sid's tower, Lea agrees to undertake some sort of trial of his own. Yen Sid ponders just what Xehanort's true intentions are, though assured that Xehanort cannot interfere with the exam as he believes Sora and Riku never met him before the start of their journey. To his horror, however, he is reminded that they did indeed meet him: Xehanort's formless heart, in the Secret Place on the Destiny Islands.

Sora eventually comes face to face with Xigbar and Xemnas and discovers that they are all now vessels of Xehanort, carrying a small piece of his Heart within them. Despite the threats, Sora still aims to fight with his heart and with his friends as his power. Xigbar, rattled, runs away leaving Xemnas to deal with Sora. Despite defeating him, Sora collapses to the ground exhausted as darkness begins to enshroud him. Young Xehanort appears, taunting him that he has worn himself down to nothing. With his body and mind now completely vulnerable, Young Xehanort reveals that Sora has been their true objective the entire time, not Riku, as their intended new vessel for Xehanort's Heart.

He reveals that while Sora has been experiencing the dreams of the Sleeping Worlds, Riku has been inside Sora's dreams the whole time, explaining their split.

Despite his victory, he and Mickey are quickly subdued by Ansem and Xemnas. Goofy and Donald come to their rescue, but they too fail. Master Xehanort is fully revived, and with the No Name in hand, prepares to claim Sora as his latest vessel. At the very last second, Lea swoops him and rescues Sora. To his shock, he discovers that Isa - or rather Saix - is also now one of Xehanort's vessels. With Master Xehanort missing his window of opportunity, the rest of the vessels all begin to fade as they are returned to their original timelines. Xehanort, however, is unconcerned and confident that everything will fall into place eventually. KH3D icon.png
Sora's Keyblade 01 KH3D.png Everyone returns to Yen Sid's tower, but find that they are unable to wake Sora up. His heart has been almost completely taken by darkness, and he has fallen into a deep slumber. The only way to save him is for Riku to open a Portal and dive in. He does so, but is confronted by Ventus's Keyblade Armor - which has been completely enshrouded by darkness and corrupted by a Nightmare. Riku battles and defeats the Armored Ventus Nightmare, revealing that it has been attempting to protect Sora the entire time. With the Kingdom Key in hand, Riku opens a keyhole that transports him to the shores of the Islands. There, he must answer three questions posed by visions of Roxas, Ventus and Xion. Upon answering the questions, he is met by a vision of Ansem the Wise.

Despite this, Sora is overjoyed for Riku and celebrates his ascension.
