Sora and Riku | [[Sora]] and Riku undergo a [[Mark of Mastery exam]] that will not only name them Keyblade Masters, but will also grant them the power of waking by unlocking the seven [[Sleeping Keyhole]]s, thus awakening the [[Sleeping Worlds]]. However, Sora loses this power when he is corrupted by [[darkness]] and nearly becomes a vessel for [[Xehanort]]. Riku uses the power of waking to dive into Sora's heart and defeat the [[Armored Ventus Nightmare]], saving Sora's heart. Then, within Sora's heart, Riku finds himself on the [[Destiny Islands]], where upon listening to three questions and giving his answers, Riku finally awakens Sora.<!-- | ||

Sora | Sora spends his time traveling through the worlds to rebuild his strength in the hopes of reclaiming the power of waking, but it is not until facing off with [[Vanitas]] at [[The Land of Departure]] that Sora realizes, thanks to [[Ventus]]'s help, that the power was sleeping inside of him. He then proceeds to use it to free Ventus's heart within his own awakening him from his eleven year-long sleep. | ||
After | After restoring himself in [[The Final World]], Sora uses the power of waking to save his friends from the [[Lich]], using it to travel from world to world and track each of his friends' hearts down. [[Young Xehanort]] warns Sora about using the power of waking incorrectly, stating that it is meant to be used for "traversing hearts to reach worlds, not for traversing worlds to reach hearts," and that Sora using it in such a way comes with a high price that he has already paid through said misuse. | ||
As a result of tracking his friends' hearts down, Sora is able to send them back in time to their arrival at the Keyblade Graveyard, erasing their previous failure from existence. Thanks to the arrival of the [[Lingering Will]], history is kept from repeating.<!-- | |||

The power of awakening is not the power to bring people back to life, but Sora was using it to do just that to his friends. As a result, time was rewound - and Young Xehanort predicted that Sora would pay the price by disappearing. --> | The power of awakening is not the power to bring people back to life, but Sora was using it to do just that to his friends.

After the final battle with Xehanort, Sora uses the power of waking to look for [[Kairi]]'s heart to bring her back. However, as Young Xehanort had predicted, Sora meddling with time through his misuse of the power of waking takes a toll, causing Sora to vanish into another world as the price. | |||

Upon arriving in the Final World and explaining his situation to Chirithy, it explains that the power of waking is supposed to be used to wake and restore sleeping hearts, not to restore them after fading from existence. Because Sora did that six times already, he changed history which is a forbidden act and if he saves Kairi, he'll lose his powers and vanish from the world. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*Ironically, the number of times the Power of Waking can be used incorrectly matches the number of pure lights from the [[X-blade]]. | |||
*The Power has only been used properly three times. | |||
