Dark Seeker Saga: Difference between revisions

Riku tracks Sora to the [[Castle That Never Was]], where he is confronted by the youth. The young man reveals himself to be Xehanort from the past, given the ability to travel through time by Ansem in order to gather the many versions of Xehanort to attend the revival of Master Xehanort. Upon his revival, the Master admits that he miscalculated his previous attempt to forge the χ-blade with Ventus and Vanitas, but resolves to forge it correctly by pitting his [[Real Organization XIII|thirteen Seekers of Darkness]], composed of himself and his twelve other vessels from across time and space, against the seven Guardians of Light, either the seven princesses of heart or seven Keyblade wielders protecting them. However, as Master Xehanort prepares to place a fragment of his heart inside Sora's body to complete his group, his plans are foiled by Lea, Riku, and Mickey. In this situation, he is forced to retreat with his incomplete Organization, sending them back to their proper times and promising that they will all meet again at the predestined final battle.

{{spoiler}}

Xehanort eventually succeeds in completing his new Organization, but his plans are delayed when [[Vexen]] and [[Demyx]] secretly defect to Ansem the Wise in order for Vexen to atone for his past crimes while in the original Organization. Though he ultimately replaces them with Vanitas and [[Xion]], he is confronted by Sora's party, among them Aqua and Ventus, in the Keyblade Graveyard. Sora and his allies defeat the Organization members one by one and manage to expel Xehanort's influence from Terra, robbing Xehanort of another member. In order to enrage Sora, Xehanort strikes down Kairi and takes her heart in order to forge the χ-blade and open Kingdom Hearts, but Sora takes advantage of Xehanort's time travel abilities to use his body as a portal and banish him back to Scala ad Caelum, giving chase along with Donald and Goofy.
