| The track "[[Villains of a Sort]]" serves as the group's theme and is used for most cutscenes involving the Villains. However, it is also used for a few other Disney villains that are unaffiliated with Maleficent's group, such as [[The Queen]], [[Shan-Yu]], and [[Gaston]].

| Maleficent spends the next decade gathering potential allies to aid her in their search for the Princesses of Heart. She eventually recruits Captain Hook, [[Ursula]], Hades, [[Oogie Boogie]], and [[Jafar]]. The group also learns about the power of the Heartless and use them as minions in their quest. However, while the group was aware of the dangers posed by using the Heartless, they failed to realize they were just puppets of the Heartless who only obeyed them in an attempt to gain control of Kingdom Hearts.

| Countless worlds have fallen in their quest for the Princesses of Heart. After the destruction of [[Destiny Islands]], [[Riku]] ends up on Hollow Bastion, where Maleficent takes him in. The Villains send [[Guard Armor]] to Traverse Town to draw out the [[Keyblade wielder]]. After discovering Sora, the Villains keep an eye on him; unfortunately, he begins sealing keyholes to keep the worlds safe from destruction. After [[Clayton]] became a puppet of the Heartless, they watch him perish.

| To turn Riku against Sora, Maleficent takes him to Traverse Town to see him with his new friends. With Riku bitter, Maleficent promises to help him find [[Kairi]] if he helps the Villains. While [[Jafar]] is defeated, Riku kidnaps [[Jasmine]]; Maleficent rewards him by having Hook take him to find Kairi. Riku appears in [[Monstro]], planning to kidnap [[Pinocchio]] to find a way to restore Kairi's heart.

|
| After [[Ursula]] and [[Oogie Boogie]] fall to Sora as well, Captain Hook kidnaps [[Wendy]] under the assumption she's the last princess of heart. However, Riku informs him that she is not and takes Kairi to Hollow Bastion. Hook is soon defeated and Hades loses interest in the plan.

| While Riku keeps Sora busy, Maleficent attempts to open the Final Keyhole with six of the princesses' hearts; however, as Kairi does not have her own, the keyhole remains in an unstable limbo. [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] possesses Riku and uses the six hearts to create a [[Keyblade of heart]], which he uses to unlock Maleficent's heart, leading to her defeat and heart traveling into the past. With the Villains out of the way, Ansem takes over their plan and tricks Sora into helping him finish the keyhole.

After Sora's team take down [[Xigbar]], [[Luxord]], and Saïx, a swarm of Heartless attack the castle, attracted by the heart shower from the broken Kingdom Hearts.

Despite not understanding the artificial nature of the world, Maleficent decides they can use the Heartless data to amass an army to send back out in Disney Castle to begin their conquest of the worlds. However, the Villains are thwarted by [[Data-Sora]] and escorted out by [[Data-Riku]].
