In [[Thebes]], after [[Xigbar]] watches [[Maleficent]] and [[Pete]] conclude their search for the [[Black Box]] there, [[Luxord]] appears before him. He mentions an old parable about a white goat and a black goat, his point being that while he's been loyally following his orders to find the box, he's questioning who gave them in the first place. Xigbar claims it must've been [[Xemnas]], but Luxord already asked him and concluded that Xigbar gave the order, and wonders why. Xigbar says the box has important information guarded by generations of Keyblade wielders. Luxord says he's only searching for it now because others seek it, and Xigbar needs to find the box first to keep his connection to it a secret. He asks Xigbar who he really is before leaving; Xigbar asks the same of him.

In the present era, [[Master Xehanort]] mentions his past encounter to Xigbar and [[Saïx]]. Xigbar insists on focusing on more important matters, like the fact that their loss of Sora has left them without a thirteenth vessel, and only the three of them are there now. Saïx and Xigbar list the other members' statuses and missions, saying the Nobodies that became human and then Nobodies again are themselves, Luxord, [[Marluxia]], and [[Larxene]], while their allies from the past transferred to replicas are Ansem, Xemnas, [[Vanitas]], Riku Replica, and Young Xehanort. Xigbar says that leaves them two short of thirteen. Xehanort says he implanted Terra-Xehanort's heart from the past into Terra's recompleted body. Saïx discusses the replica program, in which [[Vexen]] created twenty replicas, the first twelve of which were barely human puppets, and that the first prototypes were the [[Riku Replica]] and then [[No. i]]. He says five of the last six are currently vessels for their past members, leaving one left. He explains how No. i was erased from memory but remained in Vexen's records, and that its heart's link to Sora's memories should make it an adequate thirteenth member. Xigbar and Saïx leave to do their parts in the plan, then Xehanort says, "May your heart be your guiding key."

Shortly after Master Xehanort's defeat, in order to save [[Kairi]], [[Sora]] uses the [[power of waking]] to return to [[The Final World]], where he meets [[Chirithy]], who tells him he will disappear if he saves her. Determined to save Kairi despite the consequence, Sora is guided by Chirithy to the crack he made in time, who tells him he'll have to traverse the Guardians' hearts, seeing everything they saw and feeling everything they felt, until he reaches Kairi's heart. He begins by experiencing the doomed first version of the [[Seven Guardians of Light]]'s battle with [[Terra-Xehanort]] as several of his allies, first as [[Ventus]], whose heart he is forced from by an entity calling itself "{{c|Darkness|character}}", which manifests as [[Dark Inferno χ]]. After Sora defeats it, he enters [[Aqua]]'s heart, but her fear and despair manifests as [[Anti-Aqua]]. After defeating her, he passes through the tear and into his own heart, where he meets with [[Naminé]], who says she's brought out Terra's strongest thoughts to aid them.

Sora witnesses the second version of the Guardians' battle with [[Terra-Xehanort]] and his subsequent battle with the [[Lingering Will]]. Sora reappears to save it from the [[Dark Figure]], but after the Lingering Will sacrifices itself to save Sora, he is forced to fight Terra-Xehanort alone. After the [[Dark Figure]] grabs Sora, Terra-Xehanort launches a wave of darkness at him. Then Sora's own past self begins the final fight against the [[real Organization XIII]] at the Keyblade Graveyard with his allies, and his future self remains unseen until Terra is restored. As soon as Terra is restored, future Sora is seen in Terra's heart, which Sora says must have protected him from Xehanort's blast. Sora returns to his own past self, then transitions into Roxas's heart as he witnesses everyone's memories of Xion return as her heart displaces her past self's. There, Sora agrees to help Roxas and his friends reclaim their [[Recusant's Sigil]]s from Xemnas, after which Sora returns to his past self again.

After Xehanort strikes Kairi down, Mickey remotely contacts Sora and tells him that Xehanort crystallized Kairi as an insurance policy until Kingdom Hearts is opened as a last resort, but they can still save her. Sora enters the portal generated from Xehanort to travel to [[Scala ad Caelum]] ahead of his past self to find Kairi. At Scala ad Caelum, he follows apparitions of Kairi and completes a series of puzzles to finds five fragments of her heart there. Then Master Xehanort appears to him and explains that he crystallized Kairi, split her into seven fragments, and hid them. But Sora's past self shows up, so Sora is forced to re-enter himself before finding the other two fragments.

Xigbar, who survived the Keyblade War, retrieves the [[No Name]] and the [[Black Box]] and summons [[Ira]], [[Aced]], [[Invi]], and [[Gula]], revealing himself to be an incarnation of their fellow Keyblade apprentice, [[Luxu]]. He begins to recount his actions to the foretellers, with Maleficent and Pete watching from afar. In a flashback to their youth, [[Eraqus]] and Xehanort begin a new game of chess enacting a battle between seven dark pieces, and then placing a white piece on the board.

One year later, Riku goes to [[Merlin]]'s House in [[Radiant Garden]] to visit [[Leon]], [[Cid]], [[Aerith]] and [[Yuffie]] to try and uncover any clues to Sora's whereabouts. Riku mentions that Mickey, Donald, and Goofy have been searching for clues in every past world Sora's been to. And that the Twilight Town gang have been studying Roxas and Xion's memories for such clues. He also mentions that Kairi has been asleep in Ansem's Laboratory since Sora disappeared, where [[Ansem the Wise]] and his remaining apprentices have been searching her heart for clues. After a year of hard work merging the data on his computer with that of Ansem's and Twilight Town's, which he says are all connected to the same network, Cid recreates Sora's battle data in a simulated version of the [[Garden of Assemblage]], along with the [[Real Organization XIII's Recreated Data|recreated data]] of the [[real Organization XIII]], in the hopes of yielding some answers. But their data is so powerful, Cid can only access it after Riku uses Sora's data to defeat the strengthened digital copies.
