{{Q|This χ-blade will open a door―one that leads to all worlds! Then, Keyblade-bearing warriors will flock here from each and every one of them, to battle for the light within Kingdom Hearts! And just like the legend says, the Keyblade War will begin!|[[Ventus-Vanitas]]}}

~~In the prequel ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', set ten~~ years before ~~the events of the~~ first ~~game~~, Kingdom Hearts appears ~~in a form similar to ''Kingdom Hearts II'', but~~ blue in the sky above the [[Keyblade Graveyard]]. The graveyard is all that remains of a conflict called the [[Keyblade War]], set many years before ~~''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''~~. Keyblade Masters affiliated with both Light and Darkness fought to create the legendary [[χ-blade]], ~~a Keyblade~~ capable of unlocking Kingdom Hearts. The Keyblade Masters failed and destroyed themselves; all that remain are their weapons which litter the desolate world.

Ten years before [[Sora]]'s first journey,, Kingdom Hearts appears blue in the sky above the [[Keyblade Graveyard]]. The graveyard is all that remains of a conflict called the [[Keyblade War]], set many years before. Keyblade Masters affiliated with both Light and Darkness fought to create the legendary [[χ-blade]], capable of unlocking Kingdom Hearts. The Keyblade Masters failed and destroyed themselves; all that remain are their weapons which litter the desolate world.

Some time after, an aged Keyblade Master named [[Master Xehanort]] formulated a plan to create the χ-blade, intending to unlock Kingdom Hearts. In his [[Xehanort Report|reports]], Xehanort explains his views of the equilibrium of Light and Darkness and how they countered those from [[Master Eraqus]]'s. Opposite to Eraqus's beliefs of light being absolute, Xehanort saw that light could not exist without darkness. Xehanort believed that the balance between light and darkness was what sustained the worlds. However, he noticed that light was prevailing and that darkness was excluded too much. As a result, he created a goal for himself to destroy the current system of light and recreate a new system of darkness, and through the rise of darkness, he would reorganize the worlds.

{{Q|Behold the endless abyss! Within it lies the heart of all worlds: Kingdom Hearts! Look as hard as you are able, you'll not find even the smallest glimmer of light. From those dark depths are all hearts born, even yours.|[[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]]}}

~~In the first game,~~ Ansem, Seeker of Darkness and the horde of villains led by [[Maleficent]] sought out Kingdom Hearts. Both wanted to draw out the darkness that surrounded it in order to gain immeasurable power and knowledge.

Ansem, Seeker of Darkness and the horde of villains led by [[Maleficent]] sought out Kingdom Hearts. Both wanted to draw out the darkness that surrounded it in order to gain immeasurable power and knowledge.

To accomplish this, Maleficent searched for the Seven [[Princesses of Heart]], the maidens that possessed hearts that had absolutely no darkness within them. When brought together, these princesses would reveal the final keyhole and the way to Kingdom Hearts itself. Thus, Maleficent attacked many worlds with the [[Heartless]] in her pursuit of them, and managed to capture all seven.

[[File:DTDLocked.png|thumb|left|The Door to Darkness finally sealed]]

After a long battle, Xehanort's wounded Heartless reached the endless abyss, where the [[Door to Darkness]] lay, with the [[Realm of Darkness]] and Kingdom Hearts waiting behind it. Ansem forced the door to open, hoping for Kingdom Hearts to fill him with the power of darkness. However, Kingdom Hearts was revealed not to be darkness, but light. The light overwhelmed him, destroying him. But even with his defeat, the darkness that surrounded Kingdom Hearts threatened to overwhelm the [[Universe of Kingdom Hearts#Realm of Light|Realm of Light]]. In order to stop the Heartless threat, Sora was forced to close the Door to Darkness, trapping [[Riku]] and [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] on the other side. Nonetheless, the sealing also restored the destroyed worlds, along with the barriers between them, while preventing billions of Heartless from invading the Realm of Light.

===''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===

~~Throughout the entire game,~~ [[Organization XIII]] ~~is trying~~ to collect [[Hearts]] by destroying Heartless, in order to create its own Kingdom Hearts. ~~In one scene,~~ [[Xemnas]] shows the other Organization members how big their Kingdom Hearts is and how close they are to finishing it. ~~After this scene~~, the world can be seen outside the windows of ~~The Grey Room in~~ [[Castle That Never Was]] as it slowly grows whilst [[Roxas]] and [[Xion]] gather hearts.

[[Organization XIII]] worked to collect [[Hearts]] by destroying Heartless, in order to create its own Kingdom Hearts. [[Xemnas]] shows the other Organization members how big their Kingdom Hearts is and how close they are to finishing it. Large enough, in fact, that the world can be seen outside the windows of the [[Castle That Never Was]]'s Grey Room as it slowly grows whilst [[Roxas]] and [[Xion]] gather hearts. The hearts released by Roxas and Xion's Keyblades wander to Kingdom Hearts.

{{Q|Hear me, Kingdom Hearts! It seems we must begin anew. Ah, but know this: I will give to you as many hearts as it takes. Mark my words. You can no more be complete without me than I without you. Heed me, Kingdom Hearts! Lend me your power, so that we may be complete! The power to erase the fools that hinder us!|-[[Xemnas]]}}

~~Kingdom Hearts is again the goal of Xehanort in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', but this time, it's his [[Nobody]], Xemnas, and the Organization he leads.~~ Maleficent, revived, ~~also~~ seeks out Kingdom Hearts once more.

Maleficent, now revived, seeks out Kingdom Hearts once more as its growth continues following Roxas's defection.

However, Organization XIII wants Kingdom Hearts for an entirely different reason: they want to use its power in order to become whole, for they lead an incomplete existence as Nobodies. To fulfill their goal, Xemnas uses Sora ~~(since Roxas, their original catalyst for releasing hearts, was no longer an independent entity),~~ to destroy Heartless~~. The hearts that are released by Sora's Keyblade (~~and ~~presumably all other Keyblades) would then wander to~~ Kingdom Hearts~~, which floats over the Nobody world, [[The World That Never Was]], as a heart-shaped moon, assimilating into it~~. When it is finished, the Organization would be able to become complete once more.

This plan is nearly realized until [[Ansem the Wise]] attempts to ~~seal~~ Kingdom Hearts away with a digital encoder. However, the machine is unable to process something as powerful and unpredictable as Kingdom Hearts, and it explodes, ~~blowing~~ Ansem to the [[Realm of Darkness#Settings and Areas|Dark Margin]] and restoring Riku's original form. ~~Still~~, ~~this~~ explosion leaves a giant hole in Kingdom Hearts, causing countless hearts to rain down over the world, becoming Heartless as soon as they touch the ~~darkness~~, with other Nobodies, mainly [[Dusk]]s, attempting to catch the falling hearts. With Kingdom Hearts damaged, Xemnas needs to start all over again, though the threat of Sora forces him to take drastic action.

This plan is nearly realized until [[Ansem the Wise]] attempts to digitize Kingdom Hearts and seal it away with a [[Kingdom Hearts Encoder|digital encoder]]. However, the machine is unable to process something as powerful and unpredictable as Kingdom Hearts, and it explodes, sending Ansem to the [[Realm of Darkness#Settings and Areas|Dark Margin]] and restoring Riku's original form. However, the explosion leaves a giant hole in Kingdom Hearts, causing countless hearts to rain down over the world, becoming Heartless as soon as they touch the surface of the Dark City, with other Nobodies, mainly [[Dusk]]s, attempting to catch the falling hearts. With Kingdom Hearts damaged, Xemnas needs to start all over again, though the threat of Sora forces him to take drastic action.

In order to gain the power to defeat Sora, Xemnas enters Kingdom Hearts, taking its power. Thankfully, a new door, much like the Door to Darkness, appears, allowing Sora and his companions to enter Kingdom Hearts as well. ~~But~~ Xemnas had already absorbed Kingdom Hearts' power, and attempts to use it against his opponents. Though he tries his best, and nearly defeats them, the combined efforts of Sora and his friends bring about his downfall. What ultimately happens to Kingdom Hearts after Xemnas' defeat is unknown.

==Trivia==

*According to Nomura in [[Director's Secret Report XIII]], it is implied that the differing colors of Kingdom Hearts are due to the nature of its assemblage. The Kingdom Hearts made by Organization XIII was assembled from the "hearts of men", meaning people's hearts were compiled into it. In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', the χ-blade unlocked Kingdom Hearts from "the hearts of worlds", meaning the hearts of entire worlds were assembled for its creation.

* According to Nomura in [[Director's Secret Report XIII]], it is implied that the differing colors of Kingdom Hearts are due to the nature of its assemblage. The Kingdom Hearts made by Organization XIII, glowing yellow, was assembled from the "hearts of men", meaning people's hearts were compiled into it. In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', the χ-blade unlocked Kingdom Hearts from "the hearts of worlds", glowing blue, meaning the hearts of entire worlds were assembled for its creation.
