| ===Timeline of Events===
| | *Master Xehanort and his apprentice disappear, and another Keyblade master sends his three apprentices, Terra, Ven, and Aqua after them. |
| {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" width="100%"
| | *Master Xehanort and his apprentice defeat the three apprentices. |
| !colspan="3"|Age of Fairy Tales - The First Keyblade War
| | *Ven is frozen solid in the process, and Terra's eyes glow orange as he stares up at something that resembles Kingdom Hearts. |
| |-
| | *King Mickey of Disney Castle witnesses the events and receives his own Keyblade. |
| |[[File:Missing Image.png|200px]]||When the [[Master of Masters]] is a boy, a war rages between the physical manifestations of light and darknesses. To finally win against light, {{c|Darkness|character}} abandoned its physical form and became a whole entity, but its will could not be maintained. In order to propagate and increase their numbers, it begins to infect people's hearts with darkness, turning them into Pureblood Heartless. In the end, thirteen sentient Darknesses remain.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| | *A young man is found in the Radiant Garden. He has no recollection of anything and calls himself Xehanort. |
| |-
| | *Ansem the Wise adopts Xehanort as his apprentice. Xehanort trains alongside Ansem and his 5 other apprentices (Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, and Ienzo). |
| |[[File:Reporting In 01 KHXBC.png|200px]]||Using the power of his [[Gazing Eye]], the Master of Masters writes the [[Book of Prophecies]], containing events of the future, while Darkness watches from nearby. Among other things, the Book tells of a great [[Keyblade War]], warning that darkness will prevail and light expire.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| | *Ansem begins his research of the heart. He quickly abandons it when he feels the risk is too great. |
| |-
| | *Xehanort decides to continue the research despite Ansem's orders. |
| |[[File:A World of Fiction 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||The Master of Masters has many conversations with Darkness. Although they are eternal enemies, both parties understand that they will never truly understand the other. On one occasion, the Master explains that he plans to go off to a new world, one ruled by neither darkness or light. A world even he cannot concieve: a world of fiction.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| | *Xehanort and the apprentices, overtaken by the power of darkness, quickly overthrow Ansem and send him to the Realm of Nothingness. |
| |-
| | *Xehanort takes Ansem's name as his own and his research leads to the creation of the Heartless. This, in turn, destroys Radiant Garden, and the world becomes the ravaged land known as Hollow Bastion |
| |[[File:7 and 13 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||Master of Masters takes six apprentices, gifting each of them Keyblades forged from their hearts: [[Aced]], [[Ava]], [[Gula]], [[Invi]], [[Ira]], and [[Luxu]]. Aware that Darkness could not be defeated without a physical form, the Master of Masters's real purpose of training his students was to make their hearts strong enough so they could lock the seven strongest darknesses away.||[[File:KHCHI icon.png]]<br>[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| | *Xehanort and the apprentices lose their hearts to darkness, forming Xehanort's Heartless and 6 powerful Nobodies. |
| |-
| | *The World That Never Was is created by the Nobodies, now known as Xemnas, Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus, and Zexion. |
| |[[File:The Foretellers 01 KHXBC.png|200px]]||The [[Union]]s are created in [[Daybreak Town]], each led by a Foreteller, with the aim to recruit Keyblade wielders and collect [[Lux]] to battle Darkness.||[[File:KHCHI icon.png]]<br>[[File:KHCHIBC icon.png]]
| | * Organization XIII is created and new members are inducted one by one. |
| |-
| | *Xehanort's Heartless continues to achieve his goal of finding and entering Kingdom Hearts |
| |[[File:Case of Ava 01 KHXBC.png|200px]]||The Master of Masters tasks each of his apprentices with a crucial role they must carry out if he should ever disappear. [[Luxu]] is tasked to observe the events to come with the [[No Name]] and ensure the Book of Prophecies is written, pass it along to worthy apprentices down the generations, and safeguard a mysterious [[Black Box|black box]]. The Foretellers are each given a copy of the Book of Prophecies. ||[[File:KHCHIBC icon.png]]
| | *The powerful witch Maleficent arrives at Hollow Bastion and claims the castle for her own |
| |-
| | *Maleficent learns of the Heartless and Kingdom Hearts and joins Xehanort's Heartless in the attempts to open it. |
| |[[File:7 and 13 02 KHUX.png|200px]]||The Master of Masters speaks to Luxu about the past and the future of the world. Luxu expresses disappointment that the [[Dandelions]] will have to flee to a new world to rebuild once the Keyblade War arrived, rather than aid in the fight against Darkness. However, the Master of Masters assures him that there is a way to defeat Darkness, but it will take many lifetimes to accomplish it. He explains that, using a passage in the Book about a traitor, he will plant doubt in the Foretellers' minds, manipulating them into becoming vessels for Darkness.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| | *Maleficent recruits Hades, Jafar, Ursula, Oogie Boogie, Captain Hook, and Pete to assist her in controlling the Heartless and finding the “Seven Princesses of Heart” necessary to open the door to Kingdom Hearts. |
| |-
| | *Worlds begin to fall to the Heartless one by one. |
| |[[File:Case of Ira 01 KHXBC.png|200px]]||The Master of Masters vanishes without a trace, leaving the Unions to carry on without him.||[[File:KHCHIBC icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:The Power of Light 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||[[Player]] is recruited into one of the Unions. Together with their chosen Union and newfound friends [[Ephemer]] and [[Skuld]], they experience many adventures in Daybreak Town and the hologram worlds created by the Book of Prophecies.||[[File:KHCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:Secret Admirer 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||While Player is going on adventures, [[Strelitzia]] watches from afar. Although she would like to be friends with them, she is too timid to approach.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:The Clash 01 KHXBC.png|200px]]||The Foretellers discover a traitor in their midst, signaled by the appearance of a [[Nightmare]] [[Chirithy]]. Due to the loss of a security blanket in the Master's guidance, as well as their own ineptitude in carrying out their roles, they begin to suspect one another of treason. Their squabbling eventually turns into all-out battles between the Unions, all but ensuring the coming of the prophesied Keyblade War, just as the Master intended.||[[File:KHCHI icon.png]]<br>[[File:KHCHIBC icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| ||[[File:A Nightmare 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||Unbeknownst to the Foretellers, it was the Nightmare Chirithy that stole Lux, causing the Keyblade wielder's hearts to be consumed by darkness and turning them into [[Darkling]]s.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:Case of Ava 02 KHXBC.png|200px]]||[[Master Ava]] forms the [[Dandelions]], an organization of gifted Keyblade wielders from all Unions. These wielders will avoid the Keyblade War and work to rebuild the new world to come. Ephemer and Skuld join; however, Player refuses.||[[File:KHCHI icon.png]]<br>[[File:KHCHIBC icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:Changing Destiny 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||Ava is given a list of names by the Master of Masters: it lists five wielders who will become the new Union leaders following the war, one of whom will recieve a copy of the Book of Prophecies. Ava defies her Master's orders by gifting the Book to [[Brain]] instead of his original pick.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:One Last Wish 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||[[Strelitzia]], [[Lauriam]]'s sister and one of the chosen leaders of the Dandelions, secretly tries to recruit Player into their ranks, afraid that they will be harmed in the upcoming Keyblade War. However, she is murdered by a Darkness-possessed [[Ventus]] before she gets an opportunity to warn Player, and her [[Rulebook]] is stolen.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:Master Ava Stands in the Way 01 KHX.png|200px]]||The First Keyblade War takes place in the badlands of the [[Keyblade Graveyard]]. Tens of thousands of Keyblade wielders lose their lives in the battle. Player barely survives, being rescued by Ephemer and Skuld. The Foretellers disappear sometime before the War's conclusion. Luxu watches from a distance with the No Name in hand as thousands of Hearts are engulfed into [[Kingdom Hearts]].||[[File:KHCHI icon.png]]<br>[[File:BBS0.2 icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:The Third to Arrive 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||The five leaders of the Dandelions gather in the Keyblade Graveyard: Ephemer, Skuld, Lauriam, [[Brain]] and Ventus.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:A Witch Out Of Time 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||Daybreak Town is rebuilt as a [[data world]] to serve as the new home to the Dandelions. All of its residents have their memories of the Keyblade War erased as if it never happened, repeating their training and adventures. [[Maleficent]] appears from the future following her demise in [[Hollow Bastion]], showing up in one of the hologram worlds.||[[File:KHCHI icon.png]]<br>[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:The Plan 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||The Dandelions leaders try to figure out their roles and how to rebuild their world. Brain voices his intent to be the "virus in the system" and change destiny from what is written in the Book. Meanwhile, Maleficent is approached by a shadowy entity known only as "{{c|Darkness|character}}" who promises to return her to her own time.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:It's Already Begun 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||Player continues to go on adventures with fellow Dandelions in data versions of worlds. However, this peaceful stasis is interrupted when data glitches, apparitions, and Darklings appear. Through Brain's deductive reasoning, the Union leaders discover that in escaping the Keyblade War, they were all trapped in a data version of Daybreak Town.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:Elrena 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||Lauriam begins his investigation into his sister's murder while Brain concocts his own plans to thwart the prophesied triumph of darkness. Meanwhile, "Darkness" informs Maleficent of a device known as the [[lifeboat]], which can purportedly return her to her own time. Lauriam confronts her, but she defeats him and manages to escape in one of the pods.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:The Plot Thickens 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||While investigating the glitches, Brain discovers that Ventus was never meant to be one of the Dandelion's leaders. Together with Ephemer, they confront him to try and ascertain who appointed him among their ranks. They eventually reach the conclusion that Darkness disguised themselves as Ava to appoint Ventus among their ranks, replacing Strelitzia. They head back to the clock tower to inform Lauriam.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:The Escape 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||With Darkness's help, Maleficient escapes to the real world from the data world, but not her own time. The entity suggests using a second pod to get there; it will not be joining her, however, since it has some unfinished business.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:Confrontation 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||The strain of trying to remember what happened with Strelitzia puts Ventus in his sleeping corridors. Meanwhile, the other union leaders realize that Darkness is drawing near. Their investigation cut short by a grief-stricken and injured Lauriam. Ventus returns, now with a full understanding of what had happened, and informs him that he was responsible for Strelitzia's demise. As Lauriam turns his anger on Ventus, Darkness emerges from him, making its presence known to everyone and causing Ventus to fall unconscious.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:The World's End 02 KHUX.png|200px]]||The Union leaders converse with Darkness, who reveals that it was Strelitzia's true killer; by reading the Book of Prophecies, they learned that Ventus is meant to harbor the Darkness as the "fated child", inspiring them to possess Ventus in the present. Darkness also claims that they are an old acquaintance of the Master of Masters. Brain leads the others in a fight to destroy Darkness.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:Sugar Rush Royalty 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||Meanwhile, despite Nightmare Chirithy's defeat at Player's hands during the Keyblade War, the Darklings continue to follow Player through their investigation of the glitches in [[Game Central Station]]. It appears as though the Darklings are searching for someone. Left with more answers than questions, Player returns to Daybreak Town.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:The World's End 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||As fight between Darkness and the Union leaders continues, they begin to get a better understanding of Darkness's plans. However, the ancient entity proves quite the formidable opponent. Then, Player arrives to help fight the Darkness once more.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:Pure Light 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||Darkness reveals that Maleficient's departure in the lifeboat had already begun the lock-down and destruction of the data world. The Union leaders resolve to fight Darkness anyway, but because it has no form, it cannot be defeated. Suddenly, the Darklings return – it was Ventus they were after. Ventus wakes up enveloped in light, dispelling the creatures of darkness and forcing Darkness into a fightable form.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:A Seed of Light 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||Although he was tasked only with observing, Luxu makes his way into Data-Daybreak Town. He finds the data of one individual, calling them the "true Dandelion", and takes them back to the real world. There, he meets another Darkness, and discovers the dark entities' true goal: expansion and infection. Luxu uses a lifeboat pod to send the "true Dandelion" into the future.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:Resolutions 02 KHUX.png|200px]]||The fight with Darkness leaves Ventus unconscious, while the others are trying to figure out their next move. Elrena and her Chirithy arrive with news of seeing Strelitzia, further evidence of the glitches caused by the data world's increasingly unstable state. The seven head to the basement of the Clock Tower where the lifeboats are contained. The Union Leaders split up: Brain, Lauriam, Elrena, and Ventus take pods into the real world, while Skuld, Player and Ephemer remain in the Data World to attend to the other Dandelions. Before leaving, Brain passes down his [[Master's Defender]] Keyblade and the Book of Prophecies to Ephemer, who was originally the intended recipient.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:I'll Figure It Out 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||As Brain and the others make it to the real world, they realize that the real Daybreak Town is also collapsing. Brain quickly sends Ventus, Lauriam, and Elrena into the future. While he waits the for the others, he encounters Luxu. Luxu explains that the lifeboat was an incomplete form of travel: one would need a medium and someone who remembers them at their destination in order to regain both their body and their memories. What a shame, Luxu continues, that Brain is so smart but only has one lifetime to work with.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:Separated 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||Despite their previous defeat, Darkness returns with reinforcements to antagonize Ephemer, Skuld and Player. Knowing they are one lifeboat short, and desperate to save their friends, Player pretends to be possessed Darkness and attacks Ephemer and Skuld. Player triumphs, but with his last bit of strength, Ephemer unleashes a beam of light, sealing Player and the four Darknesses in the Cable Tunnels of the data workd.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:Ephemer & Skuld 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||Ephemer and Skuld return to the real world just in time to see it engulfed in darkness. They return to their pods and teleport to the future. Ephemer, Skuld, Ventus, Lauriam, and Elrena are flung into different points in time.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:Locked Inside 01 KHUX.png|200px]]||Back in the data world, Player reveals their trick to the Darknesses, using their Keyblade to seal them inside the tunnel. Trapped in the collapsing data world, Player and the Darknesses are engulfed in a bright beam of light as the world goes to sleep. Player finds themselves and their Chirithy surrounded by fellow sleeping wielders. The Dandelions' Chirithies transform into [[Dream Eaters]] to protect their sleeping hearts. Faced with the choice to sleep forever or pass on and reincarnate, Player chooses to let go and allow their heart meld into a new one.||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[File:Destinations 04 KHUX.png|200px]]||Luxu walks the Keyblade Graveyard in the aftermath of the events at Daybreak Town, dutifully carrying the No Name Keybalde and Black Box. He lifts his hood, revealing Brain's face.<br><br>''"May your heart be your guiding key."''||[[File:KHUCHI icon.png]]
