Kingdom Hearts II: Difference between revisions

Line 30: Line 30:
The story begins with the player in control of Roxas in Twilight Town. Roxas has dreams of Sora's adventures while increasingly mysterious activities begin taking place in Twilight Town during Roxas's summer vacation. After obtaining the [[Keyblade]] to defend himself from the Nobodies, Roxas comes in contact with a young man in black named [[Axel]]. Axel appears to know Roxas, though Roxas has no recollection of him. Roxas eventually makes his way into an abandoned mansion where a girl named [[Naminé]] informs him that he is a Nobody, although he did not quite know what a Nobody was at that time. Finally, confronted by a mysterious, red-cloaked man called [[Ansem the Wise|DiZ]], Roxas discovers Sora, Donald, and Goofy sleeping in the hidden basement of the mansion. Roxas seems to merge with Sora. As Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] awake from their year-long slumber, [[Jiminy Cricket]], who had previously chronicled the trio's adventures, finds that his journal is now completely blank, save for the note: "Thank Naminé" (which was written by Jiminy himself during ''Chain of Memories'').

After meeting [[Pete]], a new villain, and speaking with [[Yen Sid]], the party is informed that they must once again visit many [[world]]s to protect them from both the Heartless and the Nobodies in an attempt to stop [[Organization XIII]]. These include both old but greatly changed places, like [[Hollow Bastion]], and brand new worlds the party has never encountered before. In the course of their travels, the Heartless, led in two separate groups by a revived [[Maleficent]] and the Organization, regain power, eventually forcing Sora to [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless|battle a massive army of Heartless]] that are attacking Hollow Bastion. Along the way, they learn that the [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]] they fought a year ago was actually the Heartless of [[Terra-Xehanort|Xehanort]], and that the Nobody of Xehanort, [[Xemnas]], is the leader of Organization XIII. They also learn that Xehanort was an apprentice of [[Ansem the Wise|the real Ansem]], who is missing.

After the battle, Xemnas appears and leaves with a cryptic note that [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]] knows where Riku is. When Xemnas leaves, another member of the Organization, [[Saïx]], appears before the group and reveals their ultimate goal: the Nobodies' plan to create another [[Kingdom Hearts]], a doorway to the heart of all worlds that will presumably allow the Nobodies to get their hearts back. After confronting and defeating more members of the Organization, Sora goes to [[The World That Never Was]] to settle the score with the Organization for good; he also finally reunites with his friends [[Riku]] and [[Kairi]]. Sora learns the truth about Roxas as well; he and Naminé are, respectively, Sora and Kairi's Nobodies, created when they lost their hearts in the original ''Kingdom Hearts'' game.

In the end, only Xemnas is left of the original thirteen members. Sora and Riku unite to defeat him, and his new Kingdom Hearts is closed. Sora and Riku rest on the Dark Margin. Sora and Riku inexplicably find a bottled letter from Kairi she sent before their reunion, and the Door to Light is somehow opened, which they pass through. Sora and Riku find themselves returned to their homeworld of [[Destiny Islands]]. The pair are welcomed by Kairi, Donald, Goofy and Mickey.

After confronting and defeating more members of the Organization, Sora goes to [[The World That Never Was]] to settle the score with the Organization for good. Sora blanks out and briefly battles Roxas in his heart. In the castle, he finally reunites with his friends [[Riku]] and [[Kairi]], although Riku is in Ansem's body. Sora learns the truth about Roxas as well; he and Naminé are, respectively, Sora and Kairi's Nobodies, created when they lost their hearts in the original ''Kingdom Hearts'' game. The group cross paths with Mickey, Ansem the Wise and Xemnas. Ansem's machine explodes, apparently killing him and returning Riku to his original form, and Xemnas has disappeared. Maleficent and Pete also appear to hold off a mass of Heartless so that Sora's group can fight Xemnas, and the duo are not seen again.
 
After defeating [[Xigbar]], Saïx and [[Luxord]], only Xemnas is left of the original thirteen members. Sora and Riku unite to defeat him, and his new Kingdom Hearts is closed. Sora and Riku rest on the Dark Margin. Sora and Riku inexplicably find a bottled letter from Kairi she sent before their reunion, and the Door to Light is somehow opened, which they pass through. Sora and Riku find themselves returned to their homeworld of [[Destiny Islands]]. The pair are welcomed by Kairi, Donald, Goofy and Mickey.


Sometime later, Sora, Riku, and Kairi receive a letter from King Mickey after the credits, meaning that Mickey, Donald and Goofy have apparently returned to their world somehow. They proceed to read the letter, but the [[Kingdom Hearts coded|contents]] are left unrevealed.
