===The Age of Fairytales===
The Master trained six apprentices of his own, [[Ira]], [[Aced]], [[Invi]], [[Gula]], [[Ava]] and [[Luxu]]. Through the power of his [[Gazing Eye]], the Master could see into the future. With this knowledge he created the [[Book of Prophecies]] and save for Luxu gifted the other five a copy of the book, upon reading it they were horrified of the last entry of the world's end in Darkness. Realizing that the passage was true; to prepare them the Master gave each apprentice their role; Ira taking over as the leader, Aced supporting Ira, Invi as the mediator, Gula to discover the traitor, Ava create another group of devoid unions called the [[Dandelions]]. As for Luxu, he was tasked to guard the [[Black Box]], take the [[No Name]] keyblade to record and watch everything unfold between the others.

Before he disappeared the Master created the first Dream Eater [[Chirithy]] to help the Foretellers in their endeavors but warns them if a wielder's heart is corrupted by darkness or disappears, so will Chirithy. When the day came for the Foretellers to take their roles they created their unions each filled with countless wielders. One of those wielders, {{c|Player|KHx}}, met a boy with ever growing curiosity named [[Ephemer]] who wondered about their world and the two become friends. Overtime darkness crept its way into the world causing a rift between the Foretellers and soon their unions causing them to fight, meanwhile Player tells Ephemer about the dream they had about them and decide to investigate the Clock Tower but after their first exploration he continues alone (unknown to Player he was invited to the join the Dandelions and one of the five new Union leaders).

Soon Ephemer's curiosity was right about the incoming Keyblade War and tried to warn Player through [[Skuld]], they tried searching for him yielding no luck. Then, they come across Master Ava, informing them that Ephemer is with the Dandelions and invited them to join while Skuld accepts Player is indecisive worried about everyone else and asks their Chirithy for advice. When they decide not to join the war; Nightmare Chirithy gives Player a reason to fight and after fighting the Nightmare the creature claims that it was always apart of them as well as responsible for what's going on and after being defeated despite combining with the [[Darkling]]s the bond is now severed. Dishearteningly Player ends up fighting in the war against all the Foretellers and countless wielders until they are the last survivor.

Dishearteningly Player ends up fighting in the war against all the Foretellers and countless wielders until they are the last survivor.


Then, as the ground is littered with Keyblades turning into the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], soon Player is reunited with their Chirithy and as a light shines down on them they were shocked with tears of joy to see Skuld and Ephemer again as they leave for the new world.

===Ventus's Surprising Past, the Missing Union Leader, and Darkness' Intentions===
===Ventus's Surprising Past, the Missing Union Leader, and Darkness' Intentions===
After the war the duty of preserving the light is passed down to Ephemer, Skuld and their friends [[Brain]], [[Lauriam]] and [[Ventus]]. To begin their new status as Union Leaders and aware of Player's nightmares alongside Chirithy they created new dream eaters called pets that would help the wielders forget the past (save for the Union Leaders). While reliving old along with new adventures the wielder's peaceful tranquility was broken when Darkness found them again but this time with ghostly apparitions appearing everywhere and the Darklings still pursuing them. Soon Lauriam noticed his younger sister [[Strelitzia]] was missing. Through Brain's deductive reasoning the Union Leaders discovered that they were trapped in a data version of Daybreak Town and the glitches were a result of another world trying to connect, along with the Darklings, aware of the future ahead Brain promised to free them. In pursuit of the creatures into the new world Ephemer and Player learn that the Darklings like Lauriam were looking for someone too.
After the war the duty of preserving light is passed down to Ephemer, Skuld and their friends [[Brain]], [[Lauriam]] and [[Ventus]]. They begin their new status as Union Leaders by combining unions and created the new spirit dream eaters called pets that would help the wielders forget the past (save for the Union Leaders). While reliving old along with new adventures the wielder's peace was broken when Darkness found them again but this time with ghostly apparitions appearing everywhere and the Darklings still pursuing them. Soon Lauriam noticed his younger sister [[Strelitzia]] was missing. With Brain's intellect the Union Leaders discovered that they swapped the real world for a data version of Daybreak Town and the glitches were a result of another world trying to connect, along with the Darklings, aware of the future ahead Brain promised to free them. In pursuing the creatures into the new world Ephemer and Player learned that the Darklings like Lauriam were looking for someone too.


As Lauriam, continued to search for his sister with the help of her fellow member [[Elrena]] it led him to Brain and the others. Explaining the situation they knew that Strelitzia was suppose to join their group but was hesitant and that she had a great admiration for "someone" that she tried to save them from the war. Hearing that match Player's description, Ephemer takes Lauriam to meet them but was saddened that they didn't know her either. As the mystery unravels Brain consults the book of prophecies and finds a note inside with a startling discovery he summons Ephemer to inform him of his findings revealing that Strelitzia was the missing Union Leader.  
Lauriam, continued to search for his sister with the help of [[Elrena]] and it led him to his comrades. Explaining the situation they knew that Strelitzia was apart of their group but was hesitant to join and that she had a great admiration for "someone" that she tried to save them from the war. Match Player's description, Ephemer takes Lauriam to meet them but was sad that they didn't know her either. As the mystery unravels Brain consults the book of prophecies and finds a note inside with a startling discovery he summons Ephemer to inform him that Strelitzia was the missing Union Leader. Knowing of her intentions but Player being here Brain figured out that there is an imposter in their ranks and with Ventus and Skuld arriving he asks them to remember their encounter with Master Ava. Hearing that Ven's encounter was different Brain reveals to him the shocking truth that he is the imposter. Knowing this wasn't Ava's plan and that he didn't know the Union Leaders suspected that Darkness may have done this and by pushing their comrade to remember Ventus recalls meeting Master Ava inside an abandoned building and left together heading towards the Clock Tower but not much else except for Strelitzia dying with that they resolve to help him and tell Lauriam what happened to his sister.


Knowing of her intentions but Player being here already Brain figured out that there is an imposter in their ranks and with Ventus and Skuld arriving he asks them to remember their encounter with Master Ava. However hearing that Ven's encounter was different Brain reveals to him the shocking truth that he is the imposter. Knowing this wasn't Ava's plan and that he didn't know the Union Leaders suspected that Darkness may have done this and by pushing their comrade to remember Ventus recalls meeting Master Ava inside an abandoned building and left together heading towards the Clock Tower but not much else except for Strelitzia dying with that they resolve to help him and tell Lauriam what happened to his sister.
Meanwhile unknown to them, [[Maleficent]] came into their world led by the [[Darkness (character)|Darkness entity]] and despite Lauriam's efforts she escaped in one of the lifeboat pods unknowingly beginning the world's destruction. As the others returned to the tower the strain of remembering puts Ven to sleep while Brain, Ephemer and Skuld tried to figure out Darkness' next move aware that it was here but didn't know the entity's motive. Through his dreams Ventus remembered what really happened, it was Darkness that struck her down not him and Ven woke up distraught that he couldn't save her. Then, the other's conversation was misunderstood by a vengeful Lauriam who demanded to know what happened to Strelitzia but before his friends could explain Ventus reveals that he was responsible for her demise despite the other's protest. But the grief and anger knock him unconscious again revealing the true culprit to the group.


Meanwhile unknown to them, Maleficent came into their world led by the [[Darkness (character)|Darkness entity]] and despite Lauriam's efforts she escaped in one of the lifeboat pods unknowingly beginning the world's destruction. As the others returned to the tower the strain of remembering puts Ven to sleep while Brain, Ephemer and Skuld tried to figure out Darkness' next move aware that it was here but didn't know why or what it tried to gain by striking down Strelitzia and replacing her with Ventus. Through his dreams Ventus remembered what really happened, Darkness used him as a scapegoat and it struck her down waking up distraught that he couldn't do anything to save her. Then, their conversation was misunderstood by a vengeful Lauriam who demanded to know what happened to Strelitzia but before his friends could explain Ventus reveals that he was responsible for her demise despite the other's protest. But the grief and anger knock him unconscious again revealing the true culprit to the group.
Meeting the entity the group discovered why it targeted Strelitzia as it played on Ven's hidden desire power but knowing of their comrade's gentle heart they knew he would never resort to such means. But Darkness believed gaining what was more important than how, realizing that his sister was gone for nothing Lauriam tried to avenge her but was easily defeated. The reason why Darkness hid inside Ventus was because it was written in the book by the Master discovering that it and the Master were friends. Discussing further the Union Leaders also find out that there were many willful darknesses around and the only reason they couldn't be seen was because they weren't acknowledged yet until now hearing enough Brain and the others decide to fight against the entity but with no physical form it couldn't be destroyed.

But when Darkness believed gaining what was more important than how, realizing that his sister was gone for nothing Lauriam tried to avenge her but was easily defeated. The reason why Darkness hid inside Ventus was because it was written in the book by the Master discovering that the two were friends. Discussing further the Union Leaders also find out that there is more than one willful darkness around and the only reason they couldn't be seen was because they weren't acknowledged yet until now hearing enough Brain and the others decide to fight against the entity but with no physical form it couldn't be destroyed.
With Ephemer only standing despite being told that the entity had no goal Brain didn't believe that as it was still here. They found out that it was Darkness' intention to infect and expand by using Ventus' body they could separate from the whole and act independently. Lauriam finally accepts the truth about Strelitzia's fate and fights alongside the others with Player joining their ranks. Brimming with confidence the Union Leaders believed they could return to the real world only to be dashed when Darkness told them of the lifeboat's real purpose to be used as a last defense if Darkness couldn't be defeated and when used the world will be destroyed and sealed off with it already starting. Regardless they still fight briefly beating it back, the Darklings appear and come for Ventus but he awakens enveloped in light dispelling the creatures believing himself to be “pure light”. With that he decided to his power to give Darkness a form they could beat and fought the entity alone.

===Hope for The Future and Xehanort's True Origins===
===Hope for The Future and Xehanort's True Origins===
With a brief reprieve, the Union Leaders wonder if everything Darkness said is true meanwhile the fight against the entity left Ventus unconscious again with Lauriam apologizing to him for his actions. Then, he was alerted with news that his sister is alive by Elrena and her Chirithy seeing her walking with someone in a [[Black coat|black coat]]. Shocked at first but remembering they are in data Daybreak Town and the Pride Shift the Union Leaders knew that all their data existed meaning someone could've accessed Strelitzia's. Hopeful that Strelitzia could be alive and worried about the state of the world. The group head to basement below and found what Darkness said was true as the world was being destroyed seeing the Ark room's condition and there were five pods left but with so many trapped, little time left and trying to keep hope alive the Union leaders separate. Brain heads to the real world with Lauriam, Elrena and Ventus while Ephemer, Skuld and Player watch over the dandelions until Brain can free them. Before leaving, Brain passes on his [[Master's Defender]] Keyblade and the Book of Prophecies to Ephemer.

In the real world Brain tries to figure out how he can save everyone but couldn't so he resolves to save Ephemer and the others, so he sent Lauriam, Elrena and Ventus into the future. Soon after Brain is met upon Luxu who warns him that the Ark is incomplete and to use it properly the senders must have a medium and someone who remembers them at their destination and as for the data world being locked. Meanwhile the three friends are attacked by the remaining willful darknesses who wanted them to open the gate so they can spread but Ephemer, Skuld and Player refused but remembering their first encounter realizing they had little chance to survive and desperate to save their friends. In a ploy to seal the darknesses away Player pretended to controlled by them and attacked Skuld and Ephemer before delivering the final blow Ephemer tearfully sent them through a gate along with the remaining darknesses. Inside the cable Player revealed deception and seals the gate trapping them and reunites with their Chirithy one more time enveloped in light. Meanwhile as the two pods appear Ephemer and Skuld head for the real world to find them alone checking on the condition outside they see the world is being destroyed and like the others they attempt to leave for the future as the tower crumbles around them.

Ten years later, the story focus shifts to Sora, Riku, and their friend, Kairi. The first game shows how Sora is separated from his friends when their world, [[Destiny Islands]], is invaded by creatures known as the [[Heartless]]. During the invasion, Sora obtains the Keyblade, as Ventus's heart is still within him. Soon after finding himself in [[Traverse Town]], Sora meets [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]], two emissaries from [[Disney Castle]] searching for the "key" per instructions from Mickey, their King. The three band together and travel to different Disney-themed worlds, sealing the Keyholes to the hearts of the worlds to prevent more Heartless invasions.

Along the way, they encounter a group of Disney villains, led by [[Maleficent]], who is controlling the Heartless. Though they eventually defeat Maleficent, the three discover that Ansem, who has apparently succumbed to the darkness, is the true mastermind. Ansem's plan is to open the door to "Kingdom Hearts", a door which holds the hearts of all worlds, in the hopes of attaining eternal darkness. Sora, Donald, and Goofy defeat Ansem, and seal the door with the help of Riku and King Mickey on the other side of the door.

After sealing the door to Kingdom Hearts, Sora, Donald, and Goofy begin searching for Riku and King Mickey, finding themselves heading towards a mysterious fortress called [[Castle Oblivion]]. Upon entering the fortress, they begin to lose their memories. The three encounter a group of dark hooded villains ([[Marluxia]], [[Larxene]], [[Axel]], and [[Vexen]]), part of a mysterious Organization. In the castle, Sora learns his memories have been manipulated by a girl named [[Naminé]] who was being held captive by the Organization. Sora, Donald and Goofy fight their way through Castle Oblivion and eventually encounter and destroy Marluxia, the lord of the castle, thus freeing Naminé from his grip.
