The main island is where the residents live and go to school; Kairi and Selphie are known to go to the same school. The main island also has a small beach and dock. There appears to be a fairly large town in the background, with a long clay path leading to the beach. Sora's house can briefly be seen before Sora encounters the [[Darkside]]. However, the only portion of the house shown is Sora's bedroom during the storm. | |||
The | The smaller island, where Sora, Riku, Kairi, [[Selphie]], [[Tidus]], and [[Wakka]] play, is where all of the playable scenes take place. It is reached by canoe from the main island. The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Seashore}}'''|海辺|Umibe}} area is naturally covered in yellow sandy beaches, exotic trees and shrubbery, and wooden constructions. There is a {{nihongo|'''{{a|Seaside Shack}}'''|海辺の小屋|Umibe no Koya}} and a large treehouse built into an enormous tree. The Seaside Shack contains the island's only [[Save Point]]. A miniature island is settled next to the island and can be reached by crossing a bridge (which can be accessed by using the stairs in the Seaside Shack mentioned above or alternatively, by swimming towards a ladder on the opposite side of the island, and then climbing it). Sora can also have duels with Wakka, Selphie and Tidus nearby in the first game. Sora and Riku often practice their sword fights at the place where the friends can watch the sunset—past the Bridge, on the miniature island. On that island is a crooked palm tree that grows [[paopu fruit]]s. Local myth dictates that the two people who share one will have their destinies intertwined. The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Cove}}'''|入江|Irie}} at the back of the island has an obstacle course that Sora and Riku use during their competitive challenges. | ||
[[File:The Dark Powers 01 KH.png|thumb|right|The Keyhole located in the Secret Place.]] | |||
[[File: | The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Secret Place}}'''|秘密の場所|Himitsu no Basho}} is a cave hidden behind the island's waterfall, where the children visited during their childhood. Sora and Riku first discovered it when they were young children. There is a door in the cave which is actually the [[Keyhole]] of the world. The cave's walls are covered in chalk drawings, some hinting at the earlier encounters of the children. Among them is a drawing of Sora and Kairi sharing a paopu fruit. Riku enters here near the beginning of the game and opens the door, unleashing the [[Heartless]] onto the islands. Whether he did so knowingly and willingly is unknown, though it is likely that the words of [[Xehanort]] influenced him to do so. | ||
Sora fights the Darkside in the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Storm-tossed Island}}'''|嵐の浮島|Arashi no Ukishima|lit. "Floating Island in the Storm"}}, an area that broke off from the rest of the islands during the storm. | |||

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.

One night, a meteor shower occurred, and the next day a mysterious girl named [[Kairi]] arrived on the island; this was due to a charm [[Aqua]] had cast on Kairi to lead her to someone who would protect her. She was adopted by the mayor and became friends with Sora and Riku. Similar to Xehanort, Riku also harbored a desire to see more than just the tiny world around him.

She was adopted by the mayor and became friends with Sora and Riku. Similar to Xehanort, Riku also harbored a desire to see more than just the tiny world around him. One day, he and Sora visited the Secret Spot, thinking there might be a monster in it, but noticed it was just the wind. After Sora left, Riku noticed the [[Keyhole]] to his world's heart on the mysterious door. | ||

The three plan on building a [[Highwind (raft)|raft]] and to set sail across the sea to find other worlds away from the island. Destiny Islands is a small world, which often leads to the boredom of its inhabitants, especially Riku, who desires to leave the islands and see the other worlds out there. Riku says his desire is thanks to Kairi, who herself came to the Islands from [[Radiant Garden|another world]]. | ||
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. | 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.

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]]. | Upon arriving at the island that night, Sora discovers his friends came as well, and the world has been overrun with [[Shadow]]s.

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. | 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.

Avoiding their past selves, they decide to take the raft out to sea before the [[Heartless]] arrive. Once the storm arrives, the raft's sail is broken off by powerful winds, leaving Sora and Riku stranded in the middle of the sea. To their shock, [[Ursula]] emerges from the waters as a giant, mentioning that "[[Master Xehanort|someone]]" told her where they were. They manage to defeat Ursula, but the currents pull them underwater, where they open a Keyhole to the [[Realm of Sleep]]. Above water, [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]] watches; he later reveals to Riku that Riku subconsciously noticed the danger he posed and entered Sora's dreams to keep his friend safe from [[Nightmare]]s. | ||

==Trivia== | |||
*In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Sora confirms that Destiny Islands' residents celebrate Christmas. | |||
*Inside the Secret Place in ''Kingdom Hearts'', there are sketches of Donald, Goofy, and a {{ff|Chocobo}} on the right side. On the left there are sketches of a dragon, Disney Castle, and a world that has a crown on the top on one of the lower rocks. Even the four suits of cards and what seem to be [[Bit Sniper]]s can be seen. | |||
*The orientation between the Main Island and the Small Island is somewhat ambiguous. Although ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' depicts the Small Island's miniature islet (accessible from the Small Island by bridge) as facing the open ocean and the setting sun, the scene in which [[Kairi]] stands on the beach of the Main Island in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' depicts the Small Island in the opposite position, with the miniature islet facing the Main Island and the Cove facing the setting sun. However, if this was its correct orientation, the Main Island would have been visible from the islet's paopu tree, and previous games show the view from said tree as simply endless ocean and an unobstructed view of the setting sun. | |||
*There are several Hidden Mickey insignias in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' version of Destiny Islands. Easy-to-spot insignias include one on the ground in the Cove, and a patch of purple in the trees. | |||
*In some cutscenes in ''Re:Chain of Memories'', the picture on the Destiny Islands card is the world's logo from ''Kingdom Hearts II''. However, the world's logo from the first game is still shown in the gameplay. | |||
