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. | 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]].

After Sora was restored from his Heartless self, he once again went to Hollow Bastion, and sealed the Keyhole made by the princesses, holding off the great darkness. Regardless, Xehanort's Heartless remained a threat, so Sora and company ventured to the [[End of the World]], a place created out of the remains of the worlds taken by the [[Heartless]]. There, the Heartless thrived, and beyond it, in the eternal abyss, lied the unlocked door to Kingdom Hearts. | After Sora was restored from his Heartless self, he once again went to Hollow Bastion, and sealed the Keyhole made by the princesses, holding off the great darkness.

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 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. | 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.

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. | 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.

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. | ||
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. | In order to gain the power to defeat Sora, Xemnas enters Kingdom Hearts, taking its power.

*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. | *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. | ||
