==Story==

===''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''===

In the prequel ''Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep,'' set 10 years before the events of the first game, Kingdom Hearts appears in a form similar to ''Kingdom Hearts II'' but blue in the sky above the [[Keyblade Graveyard]]. The graveyard is all that remains of a conflict called the [[Keyblade War]], set many years before Birth by Sleep. Keyblade Masters affiliated with both Light and Darkness fought to create the legendary [[X-Blade]], a Keyblade capable of unlocking Kingdom Hearts. The Keyblade Masters failed and destroyed themselves; all that remain are their weapons which litter the desolate world.

Some time after, an aged Keyblade Master named [[Master ~~Xehanort|~~Xehanort]] formulated a plan to create the X-Blade, intending to unlock Kingdom Hearts. In his [[Xehanort Report|reports]]<ref>'''''[http://forums.khinsider.com/spoilers/144476-official-birth-sleep-translation-request-thread-6.html#post4822969]''''''</ref>, Xehanort explains his views of the equilbrium of Light and Darkness and how they countered those from Eraqus's. Opposite to Eraqus's beliefs of light being absolute, Xehanort saw that light could not exist without darkness. Xehanort believed that the balance between light and darkness was what sustained the worlds. However, he noticed that light was prevailing and that darkness was excluded too much. As a result, he created a goal for himself to destroy the current system of light and recreate a new system of darkness, and through the rise of darkness, he would reorganize the worlds.

Along with the X-Blade, Xehanort also needed one more ingredient in his plan: a vessel. With the opening of Kingdom Hearts, he would be able to obtain a new body and discard his old one. As a result, his search for the vessel led him to Terra. He saw that Terra was looking for power, and that through obtaining this power, his heart would also give birth to darkness. Thus, with this observation, Xehanort concluded that Terra was to be his new vessel.

At first, Xehanort's plans worked well, as he set the scene for his dreams to come into fruition. In the end, he succeeded in creating the X-Blade by way of manipulating his former apprentice, [[Ventus]], and his dark counterpart, [[Vanitas]]. With the creation of the X-Blade, Xehanort stopped his battle with Terra, released his heart through striking his chest with his own Keyblade, and used the power of Kingdom Hearts to transfer his heart into Terra's body. However, after obtaining Terra's body, part of Terra's heart went into the discarded armor, forming the Lingering Sentiment. Xehanort lost to the Lingering Sentiment in a battle and fainted, unable to continue his plans with Kingdom Hearts.

In the first game, [[Xehanort's Heartless]] and the horde of villains led by [[Maleficent]] sought out Kingdom Hearts. Both wanted to draw out the darkness that surrounded it in order to gain immeasurable power and knowledge.

To accomplish this, Maleficent searched for the Seven [[Princesses of Heart]]~~. These~~ maidens possessed hearts that had absolutely no darkness within them. When brought together, these princesses would reveal the final keyhole and the way to Kingdom Hearts itself. Thus, Maleficent attacked many worlds with the [[Heartless]] in her pursuit of them, and managed to capture all seven.

Thus, Maleficent attacked many worlds with the [[Heartless]] in her pursuit of them, and managed to capture all seven.

All the while, she was being used by Xehanort's Heartless, who had been the first to discover the nature of hearts, as well as Kingdom Hearts itself.

At Hollow Bastion, Xehanort's previous residence, the seven princesses were finally gathered, but only when [[Sora]] sacrificed himself to release [[Kairi]]'s heart using a Keyblade constructed from the hearts of the six other princesses, was the path to Kingdom Hearts finally opened. With Xehanort's Heartless having gained possession of Riku's body and forcing Riku's heart to wander into the darkness, he disappeared behind the darkness that poured out from the keyhole on the way to Kingdom Hearts.

With Xehanort's Heartless having gained possession of [[Riku]]'s body and forcing Riku's heart to wander into the darkness, he disappeared behind the darkness that poured out from the keyhole on the way to Kingdom Hearts.

After Sora was restored from his Heartless self, he once again went to Hollow Bastion, and sealed the Keyhole made by the princesses, holding off the great darkness. Regardless, Xehanort's Heartless remained a threat, so Sora and company ventured to the [[End of the World]], a place created out of the remains of the worlds taken by the Heartless. There, the Heartless thrived, and beyond it, in the eternal abyss, lied the unlocked door to Kingdom Hearts.

After a long battle, Xehanort's wounded Heartless reached the endless abyss, where the [[Door to Darkness]] lay, with the [[Universe of Kingdom Hearts#Realm of Darkness|Realm of Darkness]] and Kingdom Hearts waiting behind it. Xehanort's Heartless forced the door to open, hoping for Kingdom Hearts to fill him with the power of darkness. However, Kingdom Hearts was revealed not to be darkness, but light. The light overwhelmed him, destroying him. But even with his defeat, the darkness that surrounded Kingdom Hearts threatened to overwhelm the [[Universe of Kingdom Hearts#Realm of Light|Realm of Light]]. In order to stop the Heartless threat, Sora was forced to close the Door to Darkness, trapping [[Riku]] and [[King Mickey]] on the other side. Nonetheless, the sealing also restored the destroyed worlds, along with the barriers between them, while preventing billions of Heartless from invading the Realm of Light.

Kingdom Hearts is again the goal of [[Xehanort]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', but this time, it's his Nobody, Xemnas, and the Organization he leads. Maleficent, revived, also seeks out Kingdom Hearts once more.

Kingdom Hearts is again the goal of [[Xehanort]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', but this time, it's his [[Nobody]], Xemnas, and the Organization he leads. Maleficent, revived, also seeks out Kingdom Hearts once more.

However, Organization XIII wants Kingdom Hearts for an entirely different reason: they want to use its power in order to become whole, for they lead an incomplete existence as Nobodies. To fulfill their goal, Xemnas uses Sora (since Roxas, their original catalyst for releasing hearts, was no longer an independent entity), to destroy Heartless. The hearts that are released by Sora's Keyblade (and presumably all other Keyblades) would then wander to Kingdom Hearts, which floats over the Nobody world, [[The World That Never Was]], as a heart-shaped moon, assimilating into it. When it is finished, the Organization would be able to become complete once more.
