Villains: Difference between revisions

==Story==

Maleficent was contacted by [[Master Xehanort]] at some point before [[Terra]], [[Aqua]], and [[Ventus]] left the [[Land of Departure]]. He told her about other worlds, the Princesses of Heart, and Kingdom Hearts,<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''', '''Maleficent:''' I presume you are familiar with Xehanort, the one who lead me to learn about worlds outside my own? [···] Yes, he shared much with me. How to go about winning a heart over to the darkness. And most gloriously, the seven pure lights that when brought together to allow one to rule all worlds!'''''</ref><!--and time travel--> explaining how they could be used to rule all worlds. Identifying [[Aurora]] as a Princess of Heart, Xehanort takes her [[heart]] for Maleficent on the condition she tricks Terra into thinking he had taken it.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''', '''Maleficent:''' To think, that all he said was and will be true.'''''</ref> However, Aurora was saved by the combined efforts of Ventus, Aqua, and [[Prince Phillip]].  

Future members of the Villain alliance also appear in their respective worlds. [[Captain Hook]] is put in his place by Terra and Ventus, while [[Hades]] attempt to recruit a "Dark Warrior" to do his bidding is foiled by Terra and Aqua.

Maleficent spends the next decade gathering potential allies to aid her in their search for the Princesses of Heart. She eventually recruits Captain Hook, [[Ursula]], Hades, [[Oogie Boogie]], and [[Jafar]]. The group also learns about the power of the Heartless and use them as minions in their quest. However, while the group was aware of the dangers posed by using the Heartless, they failed to realize they were just puppets of the Heartless who only obeyed them in an attempt to gain control of Kingdom Hearts.

The Villains have two main goals: find the Princesses of Heart and send the Heartless into the [[Keyhole]]s of many worlds, destroying them in the process. Using the Heartless, the group makes Hollow Bastion their base and successfully imprisons [[Aurora]], [[Belle]], [[Cinderella]], and [[Snow White]] there while destroying their Worlds.

Countless worlds have fallen in their quest for the Princesses of Heart. After the destruction of [[Destiny Islands]], [[Riku]] ends up on Hollow Bastion, where Maleficent takes him in. The Villains send [[Guard Armor]] to Traverse Town to draw out the [[Keyblade wielder]]. After discovering Sora, the Villains keep an eye on him; unfortunately, he begins sealing keyholes to keep the worlds safe from destruction. After [[Clayton]] became a puppet of the Heartless, they watch him perish.

Captain Hook comes across treasure maps, which only lead him to buried junk and Heartless. Unknown to him, the maps are fakes created by Pete, who is trying to create a powerful Heartless from his greed. After the defeat of [[Ruler of the Sky]], Pete realizes how much the [[Organization]] is interfering with the Villains' plans.

Sora and Riku's respective memories of Hades, Jafar, Oogie Boogie, Ursula, Captain Hook, and Maleficent are given life within the recreations of their respective worlds. When Sora encounters them, they are involved with plots that deal with memory, either directly or indirectly. [[DiZ]]  tampers with the recreations he gives to Riku, so that only the Villains and boss Heartless like [[Trickmaster]] and [[Parasite Cage]] appear. <ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''', '''D Report:''' "It appeared as a token if the undeniable darkness within Riku's heart."</ref>

The machinations of the Villains, along with their failure and respective fates are known to the Organization. Only Maleficent is specifically mentioned in conversation, due to the brief presence of her copy that was slain by Riku.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories''', '''Vexen:''' '''Don't be absurd. The witch is gone!'''</ref>

The Villains are properly reorganized with Maleficent's return; however, the group has been reduced to just her and Pete.

Having abandoned the idea of taking The Castle That Never Was, Maleficent decides to have Pete spy on Disney Castle to find out what [[the King]] is up to. Pete gets sucked into the [[datascape]], calling Maleficent in after him. Despite not understanding the artificial nature of the world, Maleficent decides they can use the Heartless data to amass an army to send back out in Disney Castle to begin their conquest of the worlds. However, the Villains are thwarted by [[Data-Sora]] and escorted out by [[Data-Riku]]. Maleficent realizes their misadventure reminded her of the [[Book of Prophecies]]; she decides that the datascape may hold a connection.

Data versions of Hades and Jafar appear in their respective worlds. Hades takes advantage of the [[Blox]] warping his world into a labyrinth, sending [[Cloud]] after [[Hercules]], but both team up with Data-Sora to slay [[Cerberus]], the source of the Blox and knock Hades for a loop. Jafar is granted a copy of [[Genie]]'s lamp by the real Pete, granting him unlimited power. However, Data-Sora traps him inside the very lamp that empowered him.

Taking advantage of the King, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]]'s absence from [[Disney Castle]] to oversee the [[Mark of Mastery Exam]] at [[Mysterious Tower|Yen Sid's tower]], Maleficent takes Queen Minnie hostage. She sends Minnie's crown with her raven, [[Diablo]], along with a letter demanding the King return.

Maleficent and Pete begin searching for the [[Black Box]], which she believes holds the [[Book of Prophecies]]. Their search brings them to [[Olympus]], where a miffed Hades tells them he no longer wants to be part of the Villains. However, he does direct them to Pandora's Box <ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts III''''', '''Maleficent:''' "All I need to know is there is a distinctive black box somewhere in this world." / '''Hades:''' "Let's see. Black box. Black box. Wait, don't tell me. You're after the one Zeus hid on Earth?" / '''Maleficent:''' "Perhaps. If so, where may I find it?"</ref>buried in Thebes' garden, believing it to be the box they're after; however, it's not."<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts III''''', '''Pete:''' "Yessiree! This has got to be that Pandora's Box he was talking about." / '''Maleficent:''' "Leave it." / '''Pete:''' "After all that hard work?" / '''Maleficent:''' "That is not the box I seek."</ref>

Concluding that the [[Real Organization XIII]] must also be looking for the Black Box, Maleficent and Pete begin following them around the worlds. <ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts III''''', '''Maleficent:''' "Come with me." / '''Pete:''' "Where to? Those bozos ain't gonna help us. Sora's sure not lookin' for the box." / '''Maleficent:''' "Who said anything about following them?" </ref> Getting spotted in [[San Fransokyo]], Maleficent pays no mind to [[Dark Riku]]'s warnings about overstepping her bounds and getting consumed by [[darkness]] again.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts III''''', '''Dark Riku:''' "Why are you snooping around?" / '''Maleficent:''' "That would be none of your concern." / '''Dark Riku:''' "Overstep, and darkness will consume you again." / '''Maleficent:''' "What an interesting thing to say. I shall do anything I please. As should you." / '''Dark Riku:''' "Oh. I intend to."</ref> The eve of the next [[Keyblade War]], Maleficent decides to end the search; the box does not exist, yet.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts III''''', '''Maleficent:''' "You cannot find the unfindable; the box does not exist. [···] I mean the box does not exist ''yet''. A Keyblade War is upon us. Light and Darkness are destined to clash. All we have to do is wait for that fated moment. No matter who wins, the box will be revealed."</ref>
