Living quietly on [[Destiny Islands]], Xehanort begins to contemplate the existence of other worlds outside his home, when he is greeted by a mysterious brown hooded figure. Unbeknownst to him, this figure is [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]], his Heartless from the future, who tells him it is his destiny to travel to other worlds. He then opens a portal to [[Scala ad Caelum]], a world where Keyblade wielders are trained, and instructs Xehanort to travel there. He travels through the [[corridor of darkness]], where the darkness begins to slowly infect his heart. | <!-- Base -2 years -->Living quietly on [[Destiny Islands]], Xehanort begins to contemplate the existence of other worlds outside his home, when he is greeted by a mysterious brown hooded figure.

Two years after Xehanort's arrival in Scala ad Caelum, Xehanort, now a Keyblade wielder, and his classmates [[Eraqus]], [[Urd]], [[Bragi]], [[Vor]], and [[Hermod]] are told by their master [[Odin]] that seven upperclassmen - [[Heimdall]], [[Helgi]], [[Hoder]], [[Sigrun]], [[Vala]], [[Vali]], and [[Vidar]] - have gone missing before their [[Mark of Mastery exam]], with the sister of fellow classmate [[Baldr]] among them. While they are far from ready, Odin tasks the youths to find the missing seven by scouring the many worlds. | <!-- Base time period (+0) -->Two years after Xehanort's arrival in Scala ad Caelum, Xehanort, now a Keyblade wielder, and his classmates [[Eraqus]], [[Urd]], [[Bragi]], [[Vor]], and [[Hermod]] are told by their master [[Odin]] that seven upperclassmen - [[Heimdall]], [[Helgi]], [[Hoder]], [[Sigrun]], [[Vala]], [[Vali]], and [[Vidar]] - have gone missing before their [[Mark of Mastery exam]], with the sister of fellow classmate [[Baldr]] among them.

Before they leave, Xehanort and his classmates discuss the state of the worlds: even long after the events of the [[Keyblade War]], many fragments of the world are still forming, and those that have already formed flow on different time frames — while one may be far in the future in terms of technology, another may be still in the beginnings of bearing life or basic technological advancements. With that in mind, and the order not to interfere in the affairs of other worlds, Xehanort and his friends begin their search. The group first travel to [[Agrabah]], only to find the world uninhabited yet full of [[Heartless]]. Xehanort suspects the world is still growing and has not developed living beings yet. | Before they leave, Xehanort and his classmates discuss the state of the worlds: even long after the events of the [[Keyblade War]], many fragments of the world are still forming, and those that have already formed flow on different time frames — while one may be far in the future in terms of technology, another may be still in the beginnings of bearing life or basic technological advancements.

They next go to [[Wonderland]], where they find the world has some inhabitants, including the [[Queen of Hearts]], who appears to have darkness in her heart. After experiencing the Queen's darkness, Xehanort and Eraqus begin to deduce their own theories about the nature of darkness, and suspect the upperclassmen were consumed by darkness themselves. Xehanort, Eraqus, and Vor decide to continue investigating Wonderland, while the rest of the group proceeds into other worlds. After observing the residents' fear of the Queen, Xehanort concludes that the Queen's darkness is born of her anger, and that her darkness maintains the world's order. Due to the vow that Keyblade wielders should not disturb world orders, Xehanort reasons that the upperclassmen may have been defeated in a world ruled by darkness, unable to oppose it. The lowerclassmen regroup to share their findings. | They next go to [[Wonderland]], where they find the world has some inhabitants, including the [[Queen of Hearts]], who appears to have darkness in her heart. After experiencing the Queen's darkness, Xehanort and Eraqus begin to deduce their own theories about the nature of darkness, and suspect the upperclassmen were consumed by darkness themselves. They also recall a lecture from Odin, where they learned that darkness in ancient times would spread and infect people - but that as time went on, people began to spawn their own darkness through negative emotions.

Four years later, Xehanort, having just put fresh flowers on four gravestones, says his goodbyes to Eraqus and states he is going off on his own, to see what Odin has not shown them. While Eraqus is against the idea, he does not stop him, knowing that he will be back since they need to settle the score for their games. Xehanort then returns to Wonderland to find that the Queen of Hearts, who had forgotten him during his last visit, is still possessed by darkness as he awaits his trial. | Xehanort, Eraqus, and Vor continue their search by investigating the [[Dwarf Woodlands]], though Vor gets separated from the group and encounters the [[Magic Mirror]]. After regrouping, the trio approach the Magic Mirror, and are told that the upperclassmen are each acting alone. Eraqus begins to ask about Vidar in particular, but he appears in-person before the question can be asked. Vidar voices his suspicion of Xehanort, then offers for Vor to join the upperclassmen's mission. Vor agrees, as she was earlier told by the Mirror that staying with her friends would stagnate her growth as a Keyblade Master. Eraqus and Xehanort recall a meeting among the lowerclassmen where they discussed why they wanted to become Keyblade Masters: Eraqus initially treated it as a family obligation, but later resolved to defeat darkness; Bragi wished to do what is right; Urd wished to learn and explore; Baldr wanted to protect what's important to him; Harmod wanted to uphold the greater order; Xehanort wanted to reunite with the friends in his dreams; Vor tries to think of a reason, but refuses to answer. | ||
