Ventus is first mentioned by Lea while he is talking with Kairi.  He tells her how he met Ven years ago, but forgot about him until he met Roxas, who looked identical.  He goes on to tell Kairi that he never told Roxas this, out of fear that he might disappear, too, and that Ven is one of the three missing Keyblade wielders that Sora and Riku are looking for.  Lea worries that Ven will have forgotten about him like he did, but Kairi remains confident that Ventus will never forget Lea. 
 
Shortly after defeating Randall in Monstropolis, Sora and co. are confronted by the revived Vanitas, who had sent the Unversed to that world in the hopes of re-completing his heart with negative emotions.  Realizing that was not enough, Vanitas intends forcibly take out the sleeping half of himself that resides within Sora.  Attacking Sora, Vanitas revealed the connection the two have with each other, which Goofy added that Ventus’s heart was lost after his fight with Vanitas years ago. 
 
While traveling to the next world, Sora and co. receive another call from Ienzo, who has found information in Ansem the Wise’s research, specifically that there are three hearts within Sora’s including Roxas.  Goofy surmises it one of the other two hearts must be Ventus’.
 
After her return to the Realm of Light, Aqua has Sora, Donald, and Goofy accompany her to Castle Oblivion, intending to retrieve Ventus.  After unlocking the Castle’s Keyhole, thus restoring it to the former glory of the Land of Departure, the group heads inside and find Ventus’ body.  Aqua quickly realizes his heart has not returned yet.  Vanitas appears, having followed them with the intention of taking Ventus’ heart for himself.  Aqua attempts to protect Ventus by herself, but gets injured after taking a blast from Vanitas.  As the Vanitas prepared to deliver the final blow to kill Aqua, Ventus’ heart reacted within Sora’s heart, helping the latter unlock his power of Waking.  Ventus’ heart is returned to its body, and he launches himself at Vanitas, saving Aqua.  After Vanitas departs, Ventus reunites with Aqua and meets Sora face to face for the first time.  They all depart back to Yen Sid’s castle. 
 
Yen Sid is happy that both Aqua and Ventus have returned, though Mickey tells them that they still haven’t found Terra yet.  Both Ven and Aqua are confident that they will find him and bring him back.  As Lea rambles about how confusing everything has become, Ven calls him by name.  Lea is shocked that Ven still remembers him, to which Ven affirms that they are still friends.  Regarding Terra, Ven reaffirms his promise to find him.
 
With their clash against the Seekers of Darkness imminent, Aqua and Ventus take time to star-gaze outside. Ventus uses this moment to admit to Aqua that while he was sleeping, he would have dreams of her, Terra, Sora and the others. He also expressed memories of weird animal creatures. Aqua says that she's been places too, but she can't wait until things are back to the normal. The two both pull out their Wayfinders and hold them to the sky.
 
The next Day, Ventus and the other Guardians arrive at the Keyblade Graveyard, where they are immediately confronted by Master Xehanort and his various incarnations. Ventus sees Terra in the middle of the wasteland, but Aqua immediately realizes that it is not Terra. Her suspicions are confirmed when Terra's hair goes from brown to white, revealing himself to be Terra-Xehanort. Mickey concludes Terra-Xehanort is the thirteenth member of the Real Organization. Terra-Xehanort tells them that they will lose this fight, that all their hearts will be torn apart one by one. Nonetheless, Terra-Xehanort assures them the χ-Blade will be forged. Terra-Xehanort attacks both Lea and Ventus, removing them from combat, and while Donald destroys Terra-Xehanort with Zettaflare, the Demon Tide proceeds to take advantage of their weakness and eliminate Aqua, Ventus, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Lea, and Kairi. While Sora is distraught over the loss of his friends and yields to the Demon Tower, Riku defends his friend long enough to re-inspire hope in Sora's Heart before both are consumed by the Darkness as well.
 
Thanks to Kairi, Sora is able to maintain his existence in The Final World. When he is restored, he is returned to the moment in which he and Riku were consumed by Darkness, at which point Sora reaches out to Riku's Heart and is guided to him as a Lich attempts to draw Riku's Heart into the deepest depths of Darkness. Sora manages to release Riku's heart, alongside Aqua's and the others, battling the Lich time and time again in order to restore his fallen friends.
 
 
When Kairi guides Sora back to the Keyblade Graveyard, the group reinitiates their encounter with Terra-Xehanort, only when Terra-Xehanort attempts to attack Ventus, the Lingering Will intervenes, having been guided to the Guardians of Light by Naminé. Seeing the Lingering Will struggle in the battle, Ven moves into help, but Aqua stops him, saying they need to handle the army of Heartless, Nobodies, and Unversed coming from behind them. Then, when it seems darkest, Sora is aided by the light of the past in taking down the Demon Tide. Yen Sid then takes this opportunity to cast back the Heartless in order to allow the Guardians of Light to proceed, with Donald and Goofy staying behind in order to help.
 
The Guardians of Light are subsequently separated by Xehanort when he raises a labyrinth around them. Fighting his way to his friends, Sora finds Ventus and Aqua fighting against Terra-Xehanort and Vanitas. With Sora's help, Ventus amd Aqua are able to take Vanitas down.
The three then attempt to reach out to Terra once more, but Xehanort uses his control over Terra's body to bind Aqua, Sora, and Ventus in chains. Intent on destroying them once and for all, Terra-Xehanort lifts Aqua and Ventus high into the sky and lets them fall.
 
Breaking through Xehanort's control, Terra reveals himself to be the Guardian used as a weapon by Terra-Xehanort and Ansem, swooping in to save Aqua and Ventus just in time. Afterwards, the Guardian rips off the bandages covering its mouth and declares that it will set things right, as it goes after Terra-Xehanort. Sora then steps in to unlock Terra-Xehanort's heart, in order to release Terra's Heart from Xehanort's control and allow the Guardian to reclaim Terra's body, restoring him. Aqua, Terra, and Ventus then share in a tearful reunion, happy to be together again for the first time in over a decade.
 
After Master Xehanort successfully summons the χ-Blade and unlocks Kingdom Hearts, Ventus, Terra, and Aqua regroup with the others.  After sharing a glance with Roxas upon noticing their similarity, Ventus aids Sora in trapping Xehanort, who acts as a portal himself due to his existence transcending both space and time - something his younger self had unintentionally revealed to Riku during the Mark of Mastery. Ventus remains in the Keyblade Graveyard while Sora uses the portal to fight Xehanort, alongside Mickey, Riku, Roxas, Xion, Lea, Aqua, and Terra, in order to close Kingdom Hearts.
 
Following Xehanort's defeat, Ventus journeys through the portal to Scala ad Caelum alongside the other Guardians of Light. Here, Eraqus's Heart emerges from Terra's and demands that Xehanort hand over the χ-Blade. After some convincing, Xehanort relinquishes the χ-Blade to Sora, at which point Eraqus turns his attention to his former pupils - apologizing to them for everything he'd put them through in a tearful reunion before allowing his Heart to move on alongside Xehanort's. With everything as it should be, Sora uses the χ-Blade to bring them all back to the Realm of Light.
 
After leaving his Wayfinder at Eraqus' grave at the Land of Departure, Ventus notices Chirithy spying on them, and calls to it with open arms. The Chirithy bounds over happily and leaps into his arms, cuddling him before being introduced to Aqua and Terra.
 
After some time, Ventus joins Terra, Aqua, Riku, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Lea, Isa, Xion, Roxas, Hayner, Pence, Olette, and a newly restored Naminé in a fun day at the beach, though Kairi, who Sora had helped restore, remains separated from the group with Sora, who then disappears.
