==Story==

===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===

[[File:Sora and Riku 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|left|Sora and Riku meet Aqua, who compares them to Ventus and Terra.]]

[[Terra]] is the first of the three [[Keyblade]] wielders to visit Destiny Islands. There, he finds the [[paopu fruit]] tree which the fruit is shaped like his [[Wayfinder]]. He also watches a young Sora and Riku "race", the latter realizing that Terra came from the outside world. After asking Riku why he wants to leave the islands, Riku explains that a man once left the islands to visit other worlds, and that he wants to do the same. Terra sees a vision of the man and then sees what Riku will become. This convinces him to choose Riku as his [[Bequeathing|successor]] so that one day he may wield the Keyblade.

Aqua arrives shortly after Terra leaves and also notices Sora and Riku. She recognizes that their friendship is identical to the bond between Ventus and Terra, and decides to choose Sora as her successor. However, when she discovers that Terra has already chosen Riku, she changes her mind, not wanting to force the friends to fight. Instead, she asks Sora to save Riku if he were to ever fall into [[darkness]].

Much later, after fleeing the destruction of [[Land of Departure]], Ventus arrives on the islands, where he runs into [[Vanitas]] and learns the truth of his past. Afterward, he leaves to meet his fate at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]].

===Between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts''===

===''Kingdom Hearts''===

[[File:Was It a Dream 01 KH.png|thumb|left|Sora, Riku, and Kairi take a moment's break from working on their raft to relax on the beach.]]

While gathering materials for the journey, Sora enters the Secret Place, a tiny cave on the island where the children scratch drawings onto rocks, and meets a figure in a strange cloak who tells him cryptic messages about the time to come. Sora's confusion lasts long into the night. Resting up in his bedroom, he sees a dangerous storm approaching, and hurries off to the island to save the raft.

Upon arriving at the island that night, Sora discovers his friends came as well, and the world has been overrun with [[Shadow]]s. Sora tries to fight the Shadows, but couldn't harm them at all with his [[Wooden Sword]]. He finds Riku, who is surrounded by darkness. Riku tells Sora to accept the darkness, and then they are both swallowed up by it. However, Sora is saved from it by the appearance of the [[Kingdom Key]] in his hand. Once out of the darkness, he sees that Riku has disappeared. With the Keyblade now under his control, Sora fights and defeats the Shadows that he could not harm before. He then finds an apparently-ill Kairi in the Secret Place. A great wind suddenly occurs emanating from the world's Keyhole, pushing Kairi's body right through Sora's and pushing both of them out of the Secret Place. Landing on the Islands as they are slowly crumbling into darkness, Sora fights and defeats the [[Darkside]] for the second time, but fails to save his home, and is whisked away on his journey to [[Traverse Town]].

===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===

With the exception of Kairi, all the residents of Destiny Islands have forgotten about Sora, due to the side-effect of Naminé attempting to restore his memories; she remembers him vaguely due to their strong bond. This world has remained safe from the forces of darkness, leaving it as peaceful and unconnected as it was before the [[Heartless]] attacked.

Axel later suggests to Xion and Roxas that they should visit the beach on their next day off.

===''[[Blank Points]]''===

Sora is sitting on the paopu fruit tree, deep in thought about Terra, Ventus, and Aqua and how their sacrifices helped shape him into the person he is. Riku approaches, asking if he has decided whether or not to answer [[Yen Sid]]'s summon to take the [[Mark of Mastery exam]] at the [[Mysterious Tower]]. Sora tells Riku that he has. When Kairi approaches the two, Sora tells her that he has another long journey to make, one that might be even more difficult than all of the others they have had. Kairi then gives Sora her [[Wayfinder]] charm and tells him to hurry back.

===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===

[[File:Night of the Storm 01 KH3D.png|thumb|left|Sora and Riku are sent back to Destiny Islands right before it was destroyed as a part of their Mark of Mastery exam.]]

The islands appear again when Sora is put to sleep by [[Young Xehanort]]. In the dream, he sees Ansem meeting the younger version of himself, with the present version explaining that he was tasked by his future self to travel through time. He then goes on to explain that Ansem was not only present the night the islands were swallowed by darkness to watch the event, but to ensure that he and the other versions of Xehanort could interfere with the Mark of Mastery exam for their own ends.

When Sora, Donald, and Goofy learn that Riku and Mickey are in trouble at the [[Realm of Darkness]], Sora tries to find a way to get to the Realm of Darkness. Using his heart as his guiding key, Sora sets off to Destiny Islands, where he finds the [[Master's Defender]] and uses it to transform the door to the Secret Place into a door to the Realm of Darkness. After Sora frees [[Aqua]] from her corruption, he and Riku bring her to Destiny Islands.

After Xehanort's defeat, the [[Guardians of Light]] and their friends all gather at the Destiny Islands to relax on the beach. They then watch Sora and Kairi together as Sora fades away.
