Sora and Naminé witness the second version of the Guardians' battle with [[Terra-Xehanort]] and his subsequent battle with the [[Lingering Will]]. Sora tells her to go to the world of ocean and sky while he saves Terra. Sora leaps out of Terra's thoughts to save the Lingering Will from the [[Dark Figure]], but after the Lingering Will sacrifices itself to save Sora, he is forced to fight Terra-Xehanort alone. After the [[Dark Figure]] grabs Sora, Terra-Xehanort launches a wave of darkness at him. Then Sora's own past self begins the final fight against the [[real Organization XIII]] at the Keyblade Graveyard with his allies, and his future self remains unseen until Terra is restored. As soon as Terra is restored, future Sora is seen in Terra's heart, which Sora says must have protected him from Xehanort's blast. Sora returns to his own past self, then transitions into Roxas's heart as he witnesses everyone's memories of Xion return as her heart displaces her past self's. There, Sora agrees to help Roxas and his friends reclaim their [[Recusant's Sigil]]s from Xemnas, after which Sora returns to his past self again.

After Xehanort strikes Kairi down, Mickey remotely contacts Sora and tells him that Xehanort crystallized Kairi as an insurance policy until Kingdom Hearts is opened as a last resort, but they can still save her. Sora enters the portal generated from Xehanort to travel to [[Scala ad Caelum]] ahead of his past self to find Kairi. At Scala ad Caelum, he follows apparitions of Kairi and completes a series of puzzles to finds five fragments of her heart there. Then Master Xehanort appears to him and explains that he crystallized Kairi, split her into seven fragments, and hid them. But Sora's past self shows up, so Sora is forced to re-enter himself before finding the other two fragments.

Sora jumps into Riku while he and the other Guardians engage in a battle with [[Replica Xehanort]]s. They're all sucked into keyhole-shaped portals except [[Mickey]], during which Sora jumps into his heart, and he narrowly limps out of there and repels the replicas with Sora's help. Sora finds the remaining fragments and rejoins them by connecting to the Guardians' hearts. Kairi is restored, the Replica Xehanorts merge into Armored Xehanort, and she and Sora defeat it together, finishing it off with the Guardians' help. The Guardians notice Sora and Kairi's absence just before they open the way through Kingdom Hearts to join past Sora at Scala ad Caelum after his final battle with Xehanort. The pair then end up in The Final World, where they invite Chirithy to come home with them. They secretly witness the other Guardians' journeys home, bringing Chirithy to Ventus and Naminé's heart to her replica body. Finally, Sora and Kairi share a final moment sitting together on a [[paopu]] tree before he fades away.

Xigbar, who survived the Keyblade War, retrieves the [[No Name]] and the [[Black Box]] and summons [[Ira]], [[Aced]], [[Invi]], and [[Gula]], revealing himself to be an incarnation of their fellow Keyblade apprentice, [[Luxu]]. He begins to recount his actions to the foretellers, with Maleficent and Pete watching from afar. In a flashback to their youth, [[Eraqus]] and Xehanort begin a new game of chess enacting a battle between seven dark pieces, and then placing a white piece on the board.

Sora and Riku, separated and disoriented, awaken in [[Quadratum]], a world filled with modern buildings, skyscrapers, cars, and signs. The two walk the streets observing where they are; Sora finds himself at a {{w|Shibuya#Shibuya_Crossing|crosswalk}} staring at a {{w|109 (department store)|building with the number "104" displayed}}, while Riku stares at a {{w|Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building|large building}}. As Riku walks past the large building, [[Yozora]], the protagonist of ''[[Verum Rex]]'', sits alone atop watching him down below.

Following Master Xehanort's defeat, Riku visits the [[Land of Departure]], where Terra tells him that he's so strong that there's nothing left that he could teach him. Riku sees Terra, Aqua and Ventus off as they don their [[Keyblade Armor]] and leave to go on a journey in the [[Realm of Darkness]] to find Sora.

Riku sees Terra, Aqua and Ventus off as they don their [[Keyblade Armor]] and leave to go on a journey in the [[Realm of Darkness]] to find Sora.


One year later, Riku goes to [[Merlin]]'s House in [[Radiant Garden]] to visit [[Leon]], [[Cid]], [[Aerith]] and [[Yuffie]] to try and uncover any clues to Sora's whereabouts. Riku mentions that Mickey, Donald, and Goofy have been searching for clues in every past world Sora's been to. And that the Twilight Town gang have been studying Roxas and Xion's memories for such clues. He also mentions that Kairi has been asleep in Ansem's Laboratory since Sora disappeared, where [[Ansem the Wise]] and his remaining apprentices have been searching her heart for clues. After a year of hard work merging the data on his computer with that of Ansem's and Twilight Town's, which he says are all connected to the same network, Cid recreates Sora's battle data in a simulated version of the [[Garden of Assemblage]], along with the [[Real Organization XIII's Recreated Data|recreated data]] of the [[real Organization XIII]], in the hopes of yielding some answers. But their data is so powerful, Cid can only access it after Riku uses Sora's data to defeat the strengthened digital copies.

After all thirteen copies are defeated, the data analysis says Sora's data still hasn't been updated, forcing Riku and Leon's gang back to square one. The [[Fairy Godmother]] then appears at [[Merlin]] and [[Yen Sid]]'s request to aid them, and has Riku recount [[Yozora (video)|the strange dream he's been having]]: He finds himself in [[Quadratum]] surrounded by tall buildings, while Yozora observes him from atop a skyscraper. He can't recall what happens next, but she claims she knows, because dreams are her specialty. She explains that the wizards sent her to Riku because, due to his time in Sora's dreams, the key to finding Sora might be in his dreams, "and the other two." Kairi's sleeping body in Ansem's lab and the daytime version of The Final World are then shown.
