  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.

  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

==Story==
==Synopsis==
While examining his [[Keyblade]], the darkness cracks beneath [[Sora]]'s feet, causing him to fall at the feet of a [[Darkside]]. The Darkside attacks, and Sora tries to flee, but gets hit anyway. The voice from his dream encourages him to fight back. Sora uses his experience from practicing swordfighting with [[Riku]] to defeat several [[Shadow]]s. He realizes he has to take down the Darkside, but doesn't know how. The voice mentions how the eyes are a weak point of giant enemies, and Sora manages to strike the Darkside in the face.


==Worlds and characters==
With the [[Kingdom Key|Keyblade]] in hand, [[Sora]] becomes more confused than ever before. A [[Darkside]] then appears before him and Sora flees for his life, when a voice tells him not to be afraid. Sora decides to stand and fight, proclaiming "Don't mess with me! I've been sword fighting with [[Riku]] for ages!" After fighting the [[Shadow|shadows]], to seamlessly no end, Sora realizes he needs to take down "the big one". He then leaps into the air, striking the Darkside in the head and defeating it with one, single blow...
