| When Sora and the others confront Xemnas, he asks the warriors why they hate darkness. King Mickey replies that they do not really hate it, and are just scared of it. He goes on to say that the world has both light and darkness, and darkness is half of everything. He then says that it makes him wonder why they are scared of the dark. Riku answers that "it's because of what's lurking inside it", meaning Xemnas and the other villains. | | When Sora and the others confront Xemnas, he asks the warriors why they hate darkness.

| presented darkness as a power for not only the villains, but the heroes as well. Many of the protagonists of the series such as Riku, Groudon-Fire and Sora use darkness during the game.
| |
|
| |
| Shadow Groudon-Fire, in the form of Ansem, has control over numerous powers of darkness. He is able to cast the Dark Firaga spell, open Corridors of Darkness, and use darkness in finishing moves for his combos. After Riku returns to normal, he can no longer use the Corridors of Darkness, but is able to use the Dark Firaga spell and Dark Shield, among other attacks.
| |
|
| |
| [[Organization XXX]] uses the power of darkness either to help them fight or use the [[Universe of Kingdom Hearts#Corridor of Darkness|Corridors of Darkness]]. After Xemnas & Xennas absorbs the remnants of Kingdom Hearts, he uses both the powers of light and darkness.
| |
|
| |
| Maleficent, once again an antagonist, uses darkness as well. She uses it to cover [[Disney Castle]]'s [[Hall of the Cornerstone]] with thorns. She is also able to use darkness to create walls of green fire.
| |
|
| |
| Darkness is even used by Sora in the game. When he enters his [[Anti Form]], he turns into a black silhouette of himself and attacks enemies with powers of darkness.
| |
|
| |
| When Sora and the others confront Xemnas, he asks the warriors why they hate darkness. King Mickey replies that they do not really hate it, and are just scared of it.

| While darkness is often associated with evil, it can be used for the force of good. If one can accept darkness into themselves without allowing the darkness to consume them, they may wield its powers without succumbing to its influences (as in Riku's situation).
| |
|
| |
| [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]]'s [[Kingdom Key D|Keyblade]] is a Keyblade from the Realm of Darkness, though this does not mean that it is actually affiliated with Darkness; in this case, it means that it is necessary to close world doors from inside the Realm of Darkness.
| |
|
| |
| Darkness is also seen being manipulated into attacks by the Heartless and Nobodies, and to a greater degree [[Maleficent]], the members of Organization XIII, and Riku. [[Sora]] & [[Groudon-Fire]] can also slightly manipulate Darkness in the legendary warriors vs myotismon story 16 & movie 16 through their [[Drive Form]], [[Anti Form]], in which they reawakens the darkness that was created when they became a Heartless.
| |
|
| |
| Darkness can also be used for transportation. Experienced users of Darkness are able to open a Corridor of Darkness to travel between locations with a great degree of speed. However, these are physical corridors of Darkness, and prolonged or repetitive use of this means of travel will often allow Darkness to manifest deeper within a being, leaving them more vulnerable to its negative effects in the long run.
| |
|
| |
| There are many items that have used for protection against darkness. Some of these items are seen as simple things such as the [[Midnight Anklet]] and [[Champion Belt]] which boost the equipped character's resistance to dark-element attacks, or the infamous [[Black Coat]] worn by King Mickey, Riku, and the members of Organization XIII & Organization XXX which protect the wearer from the negative effects of using the Corridors of Darkness.
| |
| Most of Groudon-Fire and company's quest is aimed at closing the [[Door to Darkness de Core]] and eliminating the [[Nobody-like Heartless]] creatures. The most major story development about light and darkness in the story is Riku's constant struggle throughout the game, with him against the darkness in his heart. He tries to shun the darkness and Ansem out of him, but he cannot do it. Because of this, "Ansem" taunts him that darkness is his destiny. Riku finally finds a revelation in himself when he talks with Naminé after Zexion, in the guise of Sora, blinds him with light. Riku finds that darkness is not bad, and he should use it along with light to help defeat his enemies, and give him more power. This changes Riku, and "Ansem", thinking that Riku has turned to the darkness, mockingly tells him that he was right about Riku's destiny. Riku fights "Ansem" and destroys him, but he is still in Riku's body. This is due to Riku declining [[Naminé|Naminé's]] offer to seal "Ansem" away in Riku's heart along with his memories of the castle. Then, at the end of the story, [[Ansen the Wise|DiZX]] asks Riku which path he wishes to take. He decides to take the road to dawn, a path leading from darkness to light.
