''"Xion's darkest secret is that she only exists to seize control of Sora's power - the Keyblade's power."''

''"Who are we fighting? How did this all begin? And why did it take us so long to notice?"''
{{sec-stub}}
 
''KINGDOM HEARTS: The Thirteen Seekers of Darkness, and the Great Battle to Come<br>Master Xehanort has returned. All that has transpired was exactly as he planned it.''
 
''"Twice now, Master Xehanort has sought to drag the World into a great Keyblade War between the forces of light and darkness. But both times his ambitions have been thwarted."''
 
''"In his first attempt, he divided a boy's heart into two beings - a pure light named Ventus and a pure darkness named Vanitas. The two were to clash and forge a relic known as the χ-blade."''
 
''"Three students of Master Eraqus, Xehanort's former brother-in-training, rose up in order to stop the χ-blade from being forged. They fought bravely, and their strong bond allowed them to triumph over Xehanort."''
 
''"But, all three paid a terrible price, and their destinies were sealed. The destruction of the χ-blade plunged Ventus into a deep sleep. Aqua sacrificed herself to the realm of darkness to save Terra. And, by the time he was found, Terra was going by a different name."''
 
''"Master Xehanort's second attempt to start the Keyblade War involved pitting seven pure lights against thirteen darknesses. His heart and body acted separately. His heart, Ansem, manipulated Riku and Maleficent into capturing the seven pure lights he needed, the princesses of heart. His body, Xemnas, formed Organization XIII, who would serve as the thirteen darknesses. But his plans were dashed by Sora and his friends, who defeated Ansem and Xemnas."''
 
''"Now, Master Xehanort has warned of a third attempt to start his war."''
 
''Not even time itself can contain Xehanort's ambitions, but the End is near.''
 
''"Thirteen darknesses. Seven lights. The End is coming..."''
