One day, Xehanort is confronted by Braig in the computer room of Hollow Bastion about the unconscious bodies of Even and Ienzo. Xehanort responds by summoning Master Xehanort's Keyblade, and as Braig begins to question as to whether Xehanort's memories have returned or if he never lost them in the first place, Xehanort stabs him in the chest, unlocking his heart. As Braig loses consciousness, Xehanort tells him, "''My name is Ansem''". While the other apprentices seemingly give themselves to the darkness to gain the ability to control all Heartless and wield the powers of darkness and then lose their hearts in the process and become powerful Nobodies, Xehanort is the only apprentice to have both [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|a human Heartless]] and [[Xemnas|a human Nobody]], both possessing the memories and personality traits prior to their creations. Since they possessed strong hearts and wills, Xehanort and the others are able to retain their human forms as Nobodies. Radiant Garden is almost completely destroyed, save for the castle and the mutated waterways, which had [[Hollow Bastion|several modifications]] done to it by Xehanort and the other apprentices, and most of its people are wiped out while some (like [[Leon]], [[Aerith]], [[Yuffie]], [[Cid]], and [[Merlin]]) manage to escape to places like Traverse Town.

Following the restoration of Dilan, Even, Aeleus, Ienzo and [[Lea]], the painting of Xehanort (Terra-Xehanort) remained in Ansem the Wise's lab in Radiant Garden.

Upon his "birth", Terra-Xehanort appears to retain Master Xehanort's personality, including his knowledge of darkness, thus being a mere younger incarnation of the elderly Keyblade Master. The only difference is the occasional interference by Terra, shown when Terra-Xehanort briefly asks Aqua who he is, and when he is briefly forced to stand still during the subsequent fight with her.

Xehanort also can call upon his [[Xehanort's Guardian|"Guardian"]], a [[Pureblood Heartless]]-like symbiote that floats behind him and serves as both his main source of offense and defense. Its great power also makes it capable of slamming opponents with physical blows, possessing targets, and firing dark energy projectiles. While Ansem can also use the Guardian in other installments, its first chronological appearance is during Terra-Xehanort's battle with Aqua.   

After Master Xehanort possesses Terra, Terra-Xehanort is able to wield [[Master Xehanort's Keyblade]]. The weapon has a spiky shaft, a gleaming eye found near the teeth, which look similar to a battle ax. It is black and silver in coloration, able to lock and unlock hearts, appearing similar to the [[Oblivion]] Keyblade. It also contains two demonic blue eyes; one above the handle and the other one on the head, similar to the [[Soul Eater]] and [[Void Gear]]. Terra-Xehanort uses the weapon to perform long, powerful combo attacks, as well as use several powerful desperation attacks. After Terra-Xehanort loses his memories, he loses his ability to wield this weapon, but a year later, he regains it and uses it to unlock Braig's heart.
