By the time [[Terra]] and [[Aqua]] leave [[Radiant Garden]], Lea has conspired with his best friend, Isa, to break into [[Ansem the Wise]]'s [[Hollow Bastion|castle]]. When walking past the town square, Lea notices Ventus drop his [[Wooden Keyblade]] and picks it up, offering to give it back to him. Though Isa tells him they need to hurry, Lea tells him to lighten up since "it will only take a sec". He calls Ventus a kid for "playing" with a wooden "toy" and proudly takes out his frisbees, saying they are real weapons. Lea introduces himself and Isa and asks for Ventus's name. Once the introductions are done, Lea asks Ventus to fight with him, much to his confusion. Ventus agrees with a smile while Isa looks on with an amused chuckle.

Ventus beats Lea handily, leaving him winded. Lea tries to wave it off by calling the fight a draw, only to be teased by Isa. The three of them laugh, and Isa reminds Lea that they have to go. Lea then tells Ventus that they will meet again someday, because they are now friends. Isa asks Lea why he keeps "picking up stray puppies", and Lea tells him that he wants to live forever in the memories of everyone he meets. The two look up at the castle, and Lea asks Isa if he is "ready" before they leave together.

[[File:Lea Awakens 02 KH3D.png|thumb|right|Lea awakens in Ansem's lab.]]
[[File:The Worlds' Data 02 KH3D.png|thumb|right|A restored Lea introduces himself to King Mickey.]]
Some time after Axel sacrifices himself to give Sora safe passage to [[The World That Never Was]], 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 in Radiant Garden, 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.
Axel's destruction causes Lea's restoration. The man dreams about [[Roxas]], and he awakens in Ansem the Wise's laboratory with his Nobody's memories intact. Lea learns Dilan, [[Even]], [[Aeleus]], and [[Ienzo]] have also been restored, but [[Braig]] and Isa are curiously absent. Lea decides to search for them.


[[File:The Worlds' Data 02 KH3D.png|thumb|left|Lea arrives, correcting Mickey.]]
Using a [[corridor of darkness]], Lea travels to [[Disney Castle]] and saves [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], [[Goofy]] from [[Maleficent]] and [[Pete]], who had taken [[Minnie Mouse|Queen Minnie]] hostage. Lea's intervention allows Minnie to escape her captors, and it prompts them to flee. When it is safe to do so, Lea introduces himself.  
Lea uses a [[Corridor of Darkness]] to travel to [[Disney Castle]]. From inside the Corridor, he disrupts the hostage situation taking place in the library, blocking [[Maleficent]]'s attack against [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] and distracting [[Pete]] long enough for [[Minnie Mouse|Queen Minnie]] to escape his clutches. Once Maleficent and Pete are gone, Lea reveals and introduces himself to Mickey and his friends. Lea travels to the [[Mysterious Tower]] with Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, and he requests that [[Yen Sid]] make him a Keyblade wielder, shocking everyone present. After Lea is brought up to speed regarding Sora and [[Riku]]'s [[Mark of Mastery exam]] and [[Xehanort]]'s inevitable return, Yen Sid warns him that the road he has chosen will not be easy, but Lea decides to "jump right in" anyway. He is then helped with his training by [[Merlin]], along with [[Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather]], by using their magic to compress the time his training would take.


[[File:Seven Lights, Thirteen Darknesses 01 KH3D.png|thumb|right|Lea challenges the newly revived Master Xehanort.]]
At the [[Mysterious Tower]], Lea asks [[Yen Sid]] to make him a Keyblade wielder. He learns about Sora and [[Riku]]'s [[Mark of Mastery exam]], as well as [[Xehanort]]'s inevitable return, and he begins training under [[Merlin]] and [[Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather|the three good fairies]].
Learning of the danger everyone else is in, Lea arrives in [[The World That Never Was]], just in time to save [[Sora]] from becoming [[Master Xehanort]]'s final vessel in the [[True Organization XIII|new Organization XIII]]. His appearance shocks [[Xemnas]] and [[Xigbar]], the latter of whom calls him "Axel". Lea explains that when he was Axel, he promised Roxas he would always be there to bring back his friends and intends to make good on it, then jokes to Master Xehanort that he had plotted his "script" so well, but forgot to "write the sequel". Lea is attacked by a hooded member wielding the [[Lunatic]]. After deflecting the attack, the member's hood blows back to reveal Saïx, leaving Lea shocked to see his former friend as one of Master Xehanort's vessels. Regrouping with Mickey and [[Riku]], Lea gives up on correcting people about his name and says they should escape while they have the chance. After Donald and Goofy arrive and defeat [[Xehanort's guardian]], the new Organization begins disappearing, its members returning to their proper place in time. As they leave, Lea shares a final look with Saïx.


[[File:Keyblade Master Riku 02 KH3D.png|thumb|left|Lea summons his Keyblade for the first time.]]
In [[The World That Never Was]], Lea saves Sora and prevents him from becoming Master Xehanort's [[Real Organization XIII|thirteenth dark vessel]]. He shocks [[Xemnas]] and [[Xigbar]], and he reveals he "will always be there to bring [his] friends back." Lea is attacked by one of Xehanort's vessels, who is revealed to be Saïx, and he regroups with King Mickey and Riku. Everyone escapes after Donald and Goofy arrive and the real Organization XIII's members return to their proper places in time.
Back in the Mysterious Tower, Riku decides to go back into Sora's dream to awaken him. Lea tells Riku if the darkness gets him again, then he will be there to get him out, joking that "Dark Rescue" is his middle name. After Riku succeeds in awakening Sora, Lea then joins him and the others in a tea party while Riku is recovering. Once Riku wakes up and Yen Sid declares him a [[Keyblade Master]], Lea tells Riku that he'll catch up to him in no time and become a Keyblade Master as well. Despite Sora and Riku's disbelief, he explains that he came to the Mysterious Tower to learn how to wield a Keyblade and even planned to be using one when he showed up to save Sora and Riku, but hasn't been able to summon it yet. Wondering if the problem is in the way he moves his wrist, Lea tries one more time and successfully summons his Keyblade, shocking everyone present.


Afterwards, Lea soon returns to Radiant Garden.
Back at the Mysterious Tower, Lea agrees to rescue Riku if the Keyblade wielder needs help inside Sora's dreams. He has a tea party with Donald and Goofy to celebrate Sora's successful reawakening. After Riku is named a Keyblade Master, Lea summons a Keyblade of his own. He then returns to Radiant Garden.

==Appearance==
==Appearance==
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]].  
As a teenager, Lea's hair was short and spiky. He had a slight {{w|widow's peak}}, and his eyes were blue-green in coloration. He wore a sleeveless, orange jacket over a white, sleeveless shirt, and he also wore baggy, tan pants. Red and white sneakers appeared on Lea's feet; they covered black socks. Lea also wore a yellow and brown {{w|keffiyeh}} around his neck.


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.
As an adult, Lea closely resembles his Nobody, Axel. His hair is longer, and his eyes are a striking green. Lea wears a [[black coat]] to protect himself from the darkness.

Lea is both childish and competitive, willing to disrupt Isa's schedule for his impromptu fight with Ventus. This is also evident during the ending credits when he is seen trying to escape from Dilan's grasp by flailing around his limbs, unlike Isa, who realized they couldn't escape and barely moved. He is also somewhat smug and sarcastic just as Axel was. He wishes for everyone he ever meets to remember him, so he can live on forever through people's memories. Like his Nobody, he uses the phrase "Got it memorized?" on multiple occasions.

As an adult, retaining his memories as Axel, Lea becomes as cocky as his Nobody counterpart, to the point that he actually challenges Master Xehanort while defending Sora, even though he would be using his chakrams against Master Xehanort's Keyblade. Even so, he retains his competitive streak, demonstrated when he states that he intends to compete with Riku in the art of the Keyblade.


Although he never met Sora, he still considers Sora a friend as their respective Nobodies were best friends and he promised to always be there for them, a promise he made good on when he rescued Sora from being the final member of the Real Organization XIII.

As an adult, Lea wields the [[Eternal Flames]], a pair of Chakrams that once belonged to Axel and enable him to control fire. He later summons a Keyblade that resembles the [[Bond of Flame]] and [[Frolic Flame]].
