She resolves to return to the Land of Departure, the one place where she can keep him safe.

The Sage-King Ansem however looks upon this "friendship" with uneasy eyes. Unknown to everyone inside, deep within Terra's heart, the young man and Master Xehanort continue their "property dispute", debating over who will ultimately take control. Xehanort reveals that Terra is simply one of many seeds he has planted for his future plans, while Terra reveals that Eraqus's heart has taken refuge in Terra's.||[[File:BBS icon.png]]

|[[File:A Light within the Darkness 01 KH.png|200px]]||The trio arrive at End of the World and confront Ansem in a series of epic battles. Ansem summons Kingdom Hearts, intent to take its darkness for himself. Sora, however, is certain that Kingdom Hearts is truly light. With the door open, the light engulfs and destroys Ansem, but they must close quickly it to begin restoration of the worlds destroyed. King Mickey and Riku arrive to help, but the only way to close it fully is from both sides, trapping the latter two in the Realm of Darkness. The door is successfully closed, and Destiny Islands begin to return - with Kairi already back on the beach. Sora, however, is on the other side and cannot reach her, only promising her that he will return one day. Finding themselves on an expansive plain, the three catch glimpse of [[Pluto]] with a letter in his mouth - bearing the [[Hidden Mickey]] symbol, and begin to chase after him.||[[File:KH1 icon.png]]
|-
|[[File:Promise of a Reunion 02 KHRECOM.png|200px]]||In the middle of the grassy plains, Sora is confronted by a man in a Black Coat - [[Marluxia]], and goaded into setting foot in Castle Oblivion, with the potential of maybe finding Riku or King Mickey inside. As the three journey up the castle and experience the memories of their past adventures, their memories are slowly being rewritten by the witch [[Namine]], while a copy of Riku, the [[Riku Replica]] constantly confronts them. Marluxia, along with [[Larxene]], plot to use Namine's power to turn Sora into their puppet in an attempt to initiate a coup within Organization XIII. However another member, [[Axel]], actively betrays and undermines their efforts. It all culminates in a fierce battle against Marluxia at the top of the castle, and the powerful Nobody is destroyed. Namine, however, has completely disrupted Sora's memories and replaced Kairi with herself in his heart. They all agree to restore his original memories, but to do that he must sleep inside a pod for potentially a long amount of time. Meanwhile, Axel takes the Riku Replica with him to enact the next stage of his plan.||[[File:COM icon.png]]
|-
|[[File:Where the Road Leads 01 KHRECOM.png|200px]]||As Sora ventures upwards in Castle Oblivion, Riku is spirited away to its basement levels by an unknown "voice." Three other members of the Organization, [[Zexion]], [[Lexaeus]], and [[Vexen]] are aware of Marluxia's treachery, and plot to turn Riku into their own puppet of darkness as a countermeasure, but they too are foiled at every step. One by one they fall, until Marluxia is finally defeated. Zexion confronts Riku in a final bid to turn him, but fails and is then executed by Riku Replica at Axel's behest. Riku defeats and destroys the Replica and proceeds onward, intent on not letting the darkness consume him. Finally reunited with King Mickey, the voice is eventually revealed to be a man named [[DiZ]], who needs Riku to make a certain "choice." With Namine's help, Riku faces the darkness in his heart - Ansem - and triumphs. Choosing the "road to dawn", Riku and Mickey don the Organization's black coats and ready themselves to protect Sora as he sleeps to regain his memories. ||[[File:COM icon.png]]

One by one they fall, until Marluxia is finally defeated. Zexion confronts Riku in a final bid to turn him, but fails and is then executed by Riku Replica at Axel's behest. Riku defeats and destroys the Replica and proceeds onward, intent on not letting the darkness consume him. Finally reunited with King Mickey, the voice is eventually revealed to be a man named [[DiZ]], who needs Riku to make a certain "choice."
