'''Radiant Garden''', also known as '''The Radiant Garden''', is an explorable world in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. It is also featured in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory]]'', although only in cutscenes. Radiant Garden is the home world of many ''Final Fantasy'' characters within the series, as well as the original home world of [[Kairi]], [[Ansem the Wise]], and many of the members of [[Organization XIII]]'s human forms.

A ruined incarnation of this world appears in ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'' under the name "[[Hollow Bastion]]", consisting primarily of the castle that lies in the center of the world, with the areas outside mostly destroyed. Even after its restoration, it continues to go by this name until the final visit in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.

Even after its restoration, it continues to go by this name until the events of ''Kingdom Hearts II''.


In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Radiant Garden plays a similar role to [[Traverse Town]] from ''Kingdom Hearts'', as a sort of "home base" for [[Sora]] before his return to the [[Destiny Islands]].
After the world was reduced to just the castle, following an assault by the Heartless, it is called simply "Hollow Bastion". It regains its name in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' after [[Tron]] finds a record of its former glory in the computer's database and shows everyone how the town used to look, causing everyone from the Radiant Garden to remember its name. This world is run by [[Ansem the Wise]] and the [[Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. As the ruined Hollow Bastion, the world is controlled by Maleficent.

====Radiant Garden====
[[File:Fountain Court (Art).png|thumb|left|250px|The Fountain Court of Radiant Garden.]]
[[Sora]] first arrives in the Radiant Garden (still known as [[Hollow Bastion]] at the time) at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Marketplace}}'''|商店街|Shōten Machi|lit. "Shopping District"}}, which houses the world's [[Moogle Shop]], as well as [[Scrooge McDuck]] and the accessory, weapon, and items shops of his nephews [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie]]. Down the stairs past the item shop is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Borough}}'''|住宅街|Jūtakugai|lit. "Residential Area"}}, a residential area where {{nihongo|'''{{a|Merlin's House}}'''|マーリンの家|Mārin no Ie}} is located. It's also the [[Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee]]'s base of operations, as well as where the [[100 Acre Wood]] book is located.
The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Central Square}}'''|中央広場|Chūō Hiroba}} is a square located in the middle of the world. Going northwest will take the protagonist to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Gardens}}'''|庭園|Teien}}. Going east, the protagonist will find a flight of stairs leading to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Front Doors}}'''|正面扉口|Shōmen Tobira Kuchi}}. Another flight of stairs going up will take the protagonist to Hollow Bastion<!-- source for "Ansem the Wise's Castle"?-->. Back from the square, going east takes the protagonist to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Castle Town}}'''|住宅街|Jūtakugai|lit. "Residential Area"}}. From here, the protagonist can access {{nihongo|'''{{a|Merlin's House}}'''|マーリンの家|Mārin no Ie}}.
 
[[File:Marketplace (Art).png|thumb|left|225px|Artwork of the Marketplace.]]
Continuing on leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Bailey}}'''|城壁広場|Jōheki Hiroba|lit. "Castle Walls Square"}} which has a great view of the varies valleys outside of the town. Far off in the distance, the Villain's Vale can be seen. From here the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Restoration Site}}'''|建設中通路|Kensetsu-chū Tsūro}} can be accessed. The area contain some equipment used to restore the town and the castle, and is changed after the first visit to Space Paranoids, by the brick walls to the left being shattered, now offering a slightly quicker path through the area.
 
Passing through the Restoration Site leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Postern}}'''|城通用口|Shiro Tsūyō Kuchi}}, the site of a save point and the base entrance to the castle itself. Going inside, the party must navigate the twisting and maze-like {{nihongo|'''{{a|Corridors}}'''|廊下|Rōka}} before reaching the end at {{nihongo|'''{{a|Ansem's Study}}'''|アンセムの研究室|Ansemu no Kenkyūshitsu|lit. "Ansem's Laboratory"}}. The room contains a desk, several bookshelves, broken containers formerly filled with [[heart]]s, as well as a portrait of [[Terra-Xehanort]]. A secret passage can be found here that leads to Ansem the Wise's computer room. Ansem's Computer contains a complex data system and an elaborate network copied from ENCOM, which was updated and modified for research purposes. From here the party can transport inside the computer and access the [[Space Paranoids]] world. On the other side of the computer room is a small balcony overlooking the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Heartless Manufactory}}'''|ハートレス製造施設}}, which can also be accessed by use of the elevator found there. Below the Manufactory area is an inaccessible {{nihongo|'''{{a|Underground Facility}}'''|地下施設}}, only seen in cutscenes. The area contains a long downward spiral staircase with a long hallway at the end, with several prison cells on each side of the corridor. At the end lies the entrance to the [[Chamber of Repose]].


[[File:Villain's Vale KHII.png|thumb|225px|right|The Villain's Vale surrounded by a swarm of Heartless.]]
Once the protagonist leaves the Castle Town, there is a path that will lead them to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Fountain Court}}'''|噴水広場|Funsui Hiroba|lit. "Fountain Square"}}. The upper section (not the middle) of this place is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Aqueduct}}'''|水路|Suiro}}, Radiant Garden's irrigation system. Past this place is the world's {{nihongo|'''{{a|Reactor}}'''|動力炉|Dōryoku-ro|lit. "Power Reactor"}}.  
After the events of the first visit to Space Paranoids, the layout of the Bailey is altered; the outer wall of the town are broken down, and the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Castle Gate}}'''|城門前|Jōmon Mae|lit. "Gate Before the Castle"}} can now be accessed from here. From the Castle Gate, Sora can reach the long and winding {{nihongo|'''{{a|Ravine Trail}}'''|谷間の道|Tanima no Michi}} that eventually leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Crystal Fissure}}'''|結晶の狭間|Kesshō no Hazama|lit. "Crystal Interstice"}}, a small cave-like area with glowing crystals. From here {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Great Maw}}'''|大渓谷|Dai Keikoku|lit. "Great Valley"}} is accessed, a large open area where the climax of the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]] takes place. The next and last location down this route is {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Dark Depths}}'''|闇の淵|Yami no Fuchi}}, where Sora and his friends encounter [[Xemnas]], [[Axel]], [[Saïx]], and [[Maleficent]].


The Dark Depths is the closest Sora can come to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Villain's Vale}}'''|ヴィラン砦|Viran Toride|lit. "Villain's Fort"}}, which contains five ramshackle set of towers arranged in a castle configuration, with pipes twirling around them, rising from a pile of ruined masonry and machinery. A big Heartless emblem can be seen atop of the tower in the middle. Villain's Vale contains a room inside, also known as {{nihongo|'''Villain's Vale'''|ヴィラン砦の一室|Viran Toride no Isshitsu|lit. "Chamber of the Villain's Fort"}}, which acts as a base of operations for Maleficent and Pete.
The Central Square has another door, past two flights of stairs, one on either side, which will take the protagonist to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Entryway}}'''|エントランス|Entoransu|lit. "Entrance"}}. Past that are the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Outer Gardens}}'''|城外庭園|Jōgai Teien|lit. "Outer Castle Gardens"}}. There is a secret door in the middle of this place, which leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Purification Facility}}'''|浄化施設|Jōka Shisetsu}}, which is situated below the gardens.

====The Town====
[[File:Marketplace (Art).png|thumb|right|250px|Radiant Garden Shops.]]
[[Sora]] first arrives in the Radiant Garden (still known as Hollow Bastion at the time) at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Marketplace}}'''|商店街|Shōten Machi|lit. "Shopping District"}} which houses the world's [[Moogle]] shop, as well as [[Scrooge McDuck]] and the accessory, weapon, and items shops of his nephews [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie]]. Down the stairs past the item shop is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Borough}}'''|住宅街|Jūtakugai|lit. "Residential Area"}}, a residential area where {{nihongo|'''{{a|Merlin's House}}'''|マーリンの家|Mārin no Ie}} is located. It's also the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee's base of operations and leads to the world 100 Acre Wood.


====Cavern of Remembrance====
Continuing on, leads the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Bailey}}'''|城壁広場|Jōheki Hiroba|lit. "Castle Walls Square"}} which allows a look of '''Villain's Vale''' and access to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Restoration Site}}'''|建設中通路|Kensetsu-chū Tsūro}}. After the events of the first journey to Space Paranoids, the layout of the Bailey is altered; the outer wall of the city has broken down, and the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Castle Gate}}'''|城門前|Jōmon Mae|lit. "Gate Before the Castle"}} can be accessed through the Bailey. The Restoration Site contains the equipment used to restore the city. It is also changed after the first visit to Space Paranoids, which allows access to two new treasures. At the end of the Restoration Site is the entrance to the castle, [[Hollow Bastion]].
[[File:Cavern of Remembrance - Depths KHIIFM.png|thumb|left|225px|An overview of the Depths.]]
As the Battle of the 1000 Heartless attack begins, a hole in the castle wall at the Postern appears, revealing the entrance to the ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' exclusive {{nihongo|'''{{a|Cavern of Remembrance}}'''|追憶の洞|Tsuioku no Hora}}. Climbing down the hole leads to the cave's first area called the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Depths}}'''|最深部|Saishinbu}}. The area appears at first to be a small cave with a stream of water pouring down a high ledge, next to a [[Drive Orb]] crystal, however, past the ledge is a short tunnel leading to an immense, beautiful crystalline cave, containing many ledges, stalactites, and stalagmites which can be ascended to reach an ornate door, as well as a healthy population of powerful Heartless.
 
Through the door lies the lowest part of the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Mineshaft}}'''|坑道|Kōdō}}, a purple, deep, and winding pit cave which is crisscrossed with pipes across multiple "floors". Each floor contains openings in the pipes that require specialized, maximum leveled [[Abilities (KHII)#Growth abilities|Growth Abilities]] to traverse, as well as the appropriate [[Drive Form]] for each obstacle; the first two are also guarded by event battles with several waves of Heartless. Crossing the first chasm with [[Quick Run]] brings Sora to another ornate door, as well as a passage leading to an upper cubby of the Depths, where he can dislodge a stalactite in order to create a shortcut.
 
[[File:Garden of Assemblage KHIIFM.png|thumb|right|225px|The Garden of Assemblage.]]
Both the door and the cubby lead to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Mining Area}}'''|採鉱部|Saikōbu}}, a complex area of pistons, vents, and engines that is initially inert. By activating the engines lying at the very bottom of the chamber, Sora awakens the powerful machinery that he must navigate to reach the next room. Passing through the door leads to the second floor of the Mineshaft, which is much greener and has several pipes that must be bypassed with [[Aerial Dodge]] in order to reach the next door. Through this door is the busy {{nihongo|'''{{a|Engine Chamber}}'''|機関部|Kikanbu}}, filled with conveyor belts, pistons, scalding jets of steam bursting from pipes, and more powerful Heartless, as well as several hidden balconies. At the end of this is another door leading to the final section of the Mineshaft, with a final pipe obstacle which must be threaded using [[Glide]].
 
Exiting the cavern through this door brings Sora to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Transport to Remembrance}}'''|追憶への誘い|Tsuioku e no Izunai|lit. "Invitation to Remembrance"}}, a long balcony hallway built in the same style as [[Castle Oblivion]], with Radiant Garden's characteristic inverted waterfalls against the open sides of the path. The hall is bursting with powerful Nobodies, and Sora's initial traversal of it requires him to conquer three separate event battles, each with multiple waves of Nobodies.


The final door leads out of the subterranean caves to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Garden of Assemblage}}'''|集積の庭園|Shūseki no Teien}}, an ornate mall in the style of the [[Castle That Never Was]] surrounded by a circular wall, which is itself ringed by more of the inverted waterfalls. At the center of this mall lies a computer, which can be used to bring out the [[Organization XIII's Replica Data]] for Sora to combat. Behind the computer is a secret passageway, veiled by an illusion, leading back to the Restoration Site.
====Outside of the Town====
If the protagonist goes to the Castle Gate from the Bailey, there is an old gate similar to the one in ''Kingdom Hearts''. From the Castle Gate, the protagonist will reach the long and winding {{nihongo|'''{{a|Ravine Trail}}'''|谷間の道|Tanima no Michi}} that eventually leads to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Crystal Fissure}}'''|結晶の狭間|Kesshō no Hazama|lit. "Crystal Interstice"}}, a small cave-like area with glowing crystals. This leads to {{nihongo|'''{{a|The Great Maw}}'''|大渓谷|Dai Keikoku|lit. "Great Valley"}}, a large area where the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]] is fought. The next and last area is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Dark Depths}}'''|闇の淵|Yami no Fuchi}}, where Sora and his friends encounter Xemnas, Saïx, Axel, and Maleficent.

=====Villain's Vale=====
[[File:Villain's Vale KHII.png|thumb|250px|left|Villain's Vale.]]
The Bailey has a good view of the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Villain's Vale}}'''|ヴィラン砦|Viran Toride|lit. "Villain's Fort"}} which is an unreachable area in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. Villain's Vale contains a room inside, also known as {{nihongo|'''Villain's Vale'''|ヴィラン砦の一室|Viran Toride no Isshitsu|lit. "Chamber of the Villain's Fort"}}, which acts as a base of operations for Maleficent and her forces of [[darkness]]. The Vale contains a small, ramshackle set of towers arranged in a castle configuration, rising from a pile of ruined masonry and machinery. After discovering that Maleficent had been defeated, [[Pete]] showed up here to see if it was true. He found an empty fortress, but was soon greeted by a resurrected Maleficent.


===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
When Sora and co. first arrive in Hollow Bastion, at the base of the Vale is a swarm of [[Shadow]] Heartless. Leon and the rest of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee wish to restore the city, but first need to get rid of the Heartless. After the Battle of the 1000 Heartless, the base of the Vale is no longer surrounded by Heartless. The Heartless were amassed together by Maleficent and Pete for their army and then used to attack Hollow Bastion. The Heartless, however, sided with Organization XIII and did not finish attacking the city.
[[File:Radiant Garden (Art).png|thumb|left|225px|Artwork of Radiant Garden.]]
In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Radiant Garden is shown in its original glory, before it got turned into Hollow Bastion. The world's castle is shown to originally have a relevantly pastel palette, with the castle sitting on top of a large town filled with trees, grass, and flowers. The walls surrounding the town have several massive fountains, and are generally covered in climbers plants. Outside the walls is an ocean, with several green mountains in the distance.


The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Central Square}}'''|中央広場|Chūō Hiroba}} is a town square located in the middle of the world, filled with beautiful flowers and trees, as well as many homes surrounding the area. Going northwest leads to the massive {{nihongo|'''{{a|Gardens}}'''|庭園|Teien}} area. Ascending the garden and leaving through a gate will lead to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Front Doors}}'''|正面扉口|Shōmen Tobira Kuchi}}, a small circular area with stairs leading to a wide open space outside the castle's gates.
Villain's Vale appears in several flashbacks seen in [[Timeless River]]. As Maleficent treats Pete badly after his failure, the latter begins wishing he could return to the old days when he captained the Steamboat Willie. In response, the worlds gave Pete a doorway to his past to atone for his mistakes. He shows the door to Maleficent, who orders him to go to the past and destroy the [[Cornerstone of Light]] so that they may take control of [[Disney Castle]] in the present. After losing Hollow Bastion to the [[Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee]], she deems the crumbling fortress unworthy, and begins searching for a new, grander castle in which to rule, setting her sights on both Disney Castle and the [[Castle That Never Was]].

[[File:Fountain Court (Art).png|thumb|right|225px|Artwork of the Fountain Court.]]
=====Cavern of Remembrance=====
By heading east from the Central Square, [[Terra]], [[Aqua]], and [[Ven]] will arrive at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Castle Town}}'''|住宅街|Jūtakugai|lit. "Residential Area"}}, a smaller back street with a Moogle Shop. Also located here is {{nihongo|'''{{a|Merlin's House}}'''|マーリンの家|Mārin no Ie}}, where the [[Hunny Pot Board]] can acquired. Continuing through the tunnel at the end of Castle Town will lead to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Fountain Court}}'''|噴水広場|Funsui Hiroba|lit. "Fountain Square"}}, home to several large fountain layered on top of each other. By climbing the fountains and heading for the exit will take the characters to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Aqueduct}}'''|水路|Suiro}}, Radiant Garden's irrigation system. Running up some stairs and across the outer walls will eventually lead down to the world's {{nihongo|'''{{a|Reactor}}'''|動力炉|Dōryoku-ro|lit. "Power Reactor"}}, where the [[Trinity Armor]] is fought. The Reactor can also be accessed through a broken gate at the Gardens Area.
{{main|Cavern of Remembrance}}


Heading south from the Central Square will lead to a pair of stairs, one on either side, which leads down to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Entryway}}'''|エントランス|Entoransu|lit. "Entrance"}}. A resting area within the wall which also houses a save point. Heading outside is the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Outer Gardens}}'''|城外庭園|Jōgai Teien|lit. "Outer Castle Gardens"}}, a lotus shaped platform surrounded by water with even more flower beds. In the middle of the area is a fountain with a secret door in it, which leads down to the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Purification Facility}}'''|浄化施設|Jōka Shisetsu}}, a large platform in an open area situated below the gardens.

===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
[[File:Ending 10 KHIII.png|thumb|left|225px|Radiant Garden's castle restored to its full glory.]]
In ''Kingdom Hearts III'', the world appears to finally have been restored to its former self, and is almost identical to how it appeared in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. The world itself is inaccessible, but appears in several cutscenes. Areas shown are the computer room in '''Ansem's Study''', as well as the '''Central Square''' outside of the castle.
[[File:Garden of Assemblage KHIIIRM.png|thumb|right|225px|The digital replica of the Garden of Assemblage.]]
In ''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind'', {{nihongo|'''{{a|Merlin's House}}'''|マーリンの家|Mārin no Ie}} becomes playable during the [[Limitcut Episode]], and retains its appearance from ''Kingdom Hearts II''. Though the outside portion resembles its appearance as '''Castle Town''' in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. Inside, by accessing [[Cid]]'s computer, a data version of the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Garden of Assemblage}}'''|集積の庭園|Shūseki no Teien}} can be entered, though it looks relatively different. The digital replica lacks a sky and replaces the waterfalls with dark streams of data, as well as dark pillars seen between them. The passage which used to lead to the Restoration Site is simply replaced with a wall. From the garden the [[Real Organization XIII's Recreated Data]] can be fought. [[Master Xehanort]] and [[Xion]]'s portals are unavailable until the eleven other members have been beaten. The area also contains a save point and a Moogle Shop. All thirteen battles take place at the {{nihongo|'''{{a|Data-Organization XIII Arena}}'''}}, which consists of massively detailed circular platforms, with neon blue and purple lines springing out of the platform. Surrounding the arena are dark and ominous clouds.
Through [[Data Greeting]], areas such as the Central Square, Merlin's House, Garden of Assemblage, and the Data-Organization XIII Arena can be freely explored.

Terra's unconscious body is found in Radiant Garden hereafter by Braig, who brings Ansem the Wise and Dilan to retrieve the stranger. Terra can only remember the name, Xehanort, causing Braig to smile deviously. They also find Aqua's armor and Keyblade although they are unsure of what it is. Later, Terra, now using the name "[[Xehanort]]", has become Ansem's apprentice, and making an ally in Braig. Ansem and Ienzo then walk by, catching the boy's attention and the scientist's suspicion.

As Xehanort had now become one of Ansem's apprentices he was subjected to experiments of the heart in an effort to regain his lost memories. The [[Chamber of Repose]] was constructed deep within the castle, where these experiments continued. In time, Ansem deemed the experiments unethical, and ordered them ceased. However, on discovering [[Subject X]], Xehanort began to continue the experiments without Ansem's knowledge or consent.{{storylink|Secret Report 3}} Lea and Isa would continue their attempts to infiltrate the castle, eventually reaching the Chamber of Repose, where they met Subject X. {{storylink|Secret Report 5}} Henceforth, whenever they were able to enter the castle, they would go to see her.

A year after the battle at the Keyblade Graveyard, Xehanort and the other apprentices overthrow Ansem, and remodel the castle to include mechanical components. The result is a twisted bastion; half beautiful castle, half distorted factory. Maleficent invades Hollow Bastion's world with her Heartless shortly afterwards. Some residents manage to escape, many of whom end up in Traverse Town. However, Kairi is sent into the "oceans of the worlds" by Xehanort and ends up in Destiny Islands, partly due to the spell Aqua put on her necklace. During her reign in the castle as one of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]'s unwilling minions, it is probable that Maleficent either creates or remodels the castle's keep, which has decorations and models of roses and her thorned plants.

Following the demise of Organization XIII, Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus, Ienzo, Isa, and Lea are resurrected in the computer room. [[Young Xehanort]] arrives and wakes [[Braig]], and both converse about [[Master Xehanort]]'s plans. While both are unsure of what Master Xehanort really wants, a comment of Young Xehanort's causes Braig to realize that it may have something to do with the [[Keyblade War]], and they take Isa along as part of their plan.{{storylink|Destiny}}

Lea wakes up in the computer room and notices that he has reverted to his original human form. He ventures into Ansem's study, where he finds Dilan, Even, Aeleus, and a now-adult Ienzo. They also take note that Braig and Isa are mysteriously missing, prompting Lea to decide to go and search for them.

While following [[Aqua]]'s trail, [[Mickey Mouse]] and [[Riku]] travel to Radiant Garden and are led by Dilan to the [[Central Square]] where Aqua was last seen in the Realm of Light. Mickey recounts the events of her final moments, and explains that [[Terra]] is under Xehanort's control. He then recounts how both [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and [[Xemnas]] had each been fulfilling a part of Master Xehanort's plan; though both were thwarted, Young Xehanort had secretly been traveling through time to collect members for a new Organization. They receive a call from Sora, who wonders about how to restore Roxas; Riku mentions the [[replica]]s, promising to ask Ienzo about them. Riku and the King ask Ienzo, but learn the only person who would have in-depth knowledge about this, [[Even]] has vanished from Radiant Garden. The King concludes that he was taken by the Organization to help fill out their ranks.

[[Vexen]] meets with [[Demyx]] the night before the second [[Keyblade War]], asking him to deliver a blank replica for Roxas and [[Ansem the Wise]] to Ienzo. Demyx complies, with Ansem having a heartfelt reunion with a remorseful Ienzo. Together, they prep the replica with Roxas's data, which is soon called the to the Keyblade Graveyard by Roxas's heart. Demyx obtains a replica formerly used by [[Dark Riku]] and delivers it to Ansem the Wise, who uses his data on [[Naminé]] to prep the replica for her heart. Sora and Kairi complete the replica by using the Keyblade's power to extract Naminé's heart, and Riku returns to pick up the newly revived Naminé for a celebration on [[Destiny Islands]].

One year later, following Sora's disappearance, Riku visits the [[Radiant Garden Restoration Committee]] for any leads on Sora's whereabouts. There, [[Cid]] reveals that he has reconstructed data on the [[real Organization XIII]] and sends out a data copy of Sora to battle the Organization's data in order to find any clues. The ensuing battles yield no results, but the [[Fairy Godmother]] arrives, having been sent by [[Yen Sid]] and [[Merlin]] to look through Riku's dreams.

==Trivia==
*In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the hidden message behind the painting in Ansem's study reads "TRON DOOR TO DARKNESS". In ''Dream Drop Distance'', however, it instead reads "TORON DOOR TO DARKNESS", using the Japanese romanization of [[Tron]]'s name.
