Xehanort decided to drop what was left of Ven on his old home, Destiny Islands. However, Ven still seemed to have a consciousness, summoning his Keyblade in his sleep. Xehanort felt pity for his former apprentice, so he left Ven in the hands of his old friend, Eraqus, to train Ven and make him into a Keyblade Master. During this time, Master Xehanort's lust for power reached its pinnacle when he learned of the ability that Ventus and Vanitas had to create the [[X-Blade]], a legendary Keyblade with the power to open [[Kingdom Hearts (world)|Kingdom Hearts]]. But old and frail as he was, Master Xehanort knew his time was running out, so he set his eyes on another Keyblade apprentice: [[Terra]], within whom he sensed the correct potential. To this end, he sabotaged the [[Master Qualification Exam]] taken by Terra and [[Aqua]] by augmenting the darkness in Terra's heart (in secret), and later told him that if he were to become a true Keyblade Master, he would have to embrace the darkness rather than fight it. Shortly thereafter, Master Xehanort and Vanitas disappeared, on an apparent quest to find the [[Princesses of Heart]].

During his travels, Master Xehanort manipulated Master Eraqus's apprentices, Terra, Aqua, and Ventus, who had been sent to find him and destroy the [[Unversed]], a malicious species created as a side-effect of Vanitas's existence. Master Xehanort staged his own capture and had [[Braig]] fight Terra, with Terra succumbing to the darkness and disfiguring Braig's face permanently. Lying that Vanitas was responsible for the chaos, Master Xehanort formed a pact with Terra to destroy him. Later on, Master Xehanort confronted Ventus and revealed to him the truth about his past, stating also that Master Eraqus knew about it, and at the same time informed Terra that Eraqus had gone mad and sought to destroy Ventus. As expected, Terra defeated Eraqus in battle, and Master Xehanort callously delivered the finishing blow to his former friend.

Master Xehanort staged his own capture and had [[Braig]] fight Terra, with Terra succumbing to the darkness and disfiguring Braig's face permanently. Lying that Vanitas was responsible for the whole chaos, Master Xehanort formed a pact with Terra to destroy him, and took Terra in as his apprentice, calling him by the name "Master Terra" and gaining the young man's trust. Later on, Master Xehanort abducted King Mickey as bait to lure Ventus to the Keyblade Graveyard, where he revealed to him the truth about his past, stating also that Master Eraqus knew about it, and at the same time informed Terra that Eraqus had gone mad and sought to destroy Ventus. As expected, Terra defeated Eraqus in battle, and Master Xehanort callously delivered the finishing blow to his former friend. Master Xehanort then tornadoed the Land of Departure in darkness, completely destroying the world and leaving nothing but the castle's remains.


Soon enough, Terra, Aqua, and Ventus discovered the truth, and confronted Master Xehanort and Vanitas at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] (the remains of the legendary [[Keyblade War]]) where Master Xehanort revealed his true plans, as well as his intention to use Terra's body as a vessel to continue his existence long enough to see his plans reach fruition. In the ensuing battle, Master Xehanort froze Ventus and had Vanitas knock Aqua out cold, causing Terra to lose control and succumb to the darkness. Master Xehanort was defeated by Terra, but used [[Master Xehanort's Keyblade|his Keyblade]] to unlock his own heart and transfer it into Terra's body, transforming him into the new younger Xehanort. Master Xehanort's original body faded into darkness with a triumphant smile.

In the one of the game's final scenes, it is revealed that Master Xehanort and Terra are battling over internal dominance within the second Xehanort's mind, but with the destruction of both "[[Xehanort's Heartless|Ansem]]" and [[Xemnas]] at the hands of [[Sora]] and [[Riku]], Master Xehanort's status is currently unknown.
