===''Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross]''===


Through their pursuit of light, the Player is chosen as a candidate to be a Keyblade wielder, joining one of the five [[Unions]] of Daybreak Town to fight against [[darkness]]. Arriving at Daybreak Town, Player encounters a [[Darkside]], but the [[Foreteller]] acting as their new Union leader arrives and confronts it. There, Player is greeted by their very own [[Chirithy]], who teaches Player combat, their quest to collect [[Lux]], and the status of their fight against darkness. After the Town's [[Moogle]] introduces them to their Card system, Player runs into their Union leader. A Darkside appears, but this time the Union leader encourages Player to team up against it with other wielders from the same Union. After the Darkside's defeat, the Union leader instructs them to pursue light and be wary of those who walk the path of darkness. The Union leader departs, the wielders disperse, and Chirithy teaches Player to use the [[Lanes between]] to travel to other worlds and fight against darkness.

In [[Dwarf Woodlands]], Player meets Doc who asks them to help him find the other [[Seven Dwarfs|six missing Dwarfs]], and after exploring the woods and mines, they manage to find Happy, Grumpy, and Sleepy. In [[Wonderland]], Player takes a shrinking potion and encounters the [[Doorknob]], the [[Cheshire Cat]], the [[White Rabbit]], and a young girl named [[Alice]], helping them along the way. In the outskirts of [[Agrabah]], Player helps the wounded [[Aladdin]] and [[Palace Guards]] after being attacked by Heartless, receives missions to protect the city from the bulletin board, and learns of Aladdin's friend [[Abu]] being taken by the [[Wily Bandit|Red Bandit]]. During their travels, Player is approached by Moogle and loaned a [[Light Draw Bangle]] in order to obtain Crystals of Light from [[Raid Bosses]], unaware of the Moogle's reluctant exchange with the [[Nightmare Chirithy]].
==Testing out Darkness story organization==
===Story===
====Before ''Kingdom Hearts Union χ''====
Long ago, Darkness possessed physical forms, but cast off these forms to defeat Light and became shadowy incorporeal entities. In order to propagate and increase their numbers, they attacked the [[heart]]s directly, with people succumbing to their negative emotions and giving rise to the [[Pureblood Heartless]].


After various adventures, the Nightmare Chirithy approaches Player itself, posing as the Player's normal Chirithy in order to convince them to take the [[Power Bangle]] and grow stronger. Eventually, Chirithy informs the Player of the Foretellers and the [[Book of Prophecies]], and how all Unions fight to prevent the dark prophesied War, even if their paths differ. Across the various worlds, [[Darkballs]] begin to appear, and once Chirithy investigates their origins, Player travels to [[Olympus Coliseum]] to defeat them. They are allowed to enter the Tournament on [[Hercules|Hercules's]] behalf, and proceed through the Preliminaries. Back at Daybreak Town, inside the Moogle's Shop, Player reunites with three Keyblade wielders who helped them on their first fight with a Darkside. The trio speak of a new heartless, [[Neoshadows]] appearing around town, and they recruit the Player to help fight them off, promising to reunite at the shop later. After clearing the Neoshadows, Player returns to the shop, only to hear the unfortunate news from Chirithy that the wielders had perished in the fight. Chirithy relays a message from the leader of the wielders, apologizing that he couldn't keep his promise to them, before Chirithy leaves.
At some point in time, when the Master of Masters was composing the [[Book of Prophecies]] utilizing knowledge passed to him via the [[Gazing Eye]], Darkness watched over his shoulder, reading the passages as they were entered. This is how Darkness came to learn that, in the future, [[Ventus]] would harbor Darkness. Additionally, the two had spoken to one another in the past, though because of their opposing positions, they were unable to understand each another. Even so, Darkness views the Master of Masters as an "old friend".


Player returns for the beginning of the Tournament, combating in 5 rounds, before meeting with one of the participants, [[Cloud]]. In the Woodlands, Player finds Sneezy, Dopey, and Bashful, then saves the Light of this world, [[Snow White]], from Heartless. However, after some time, Snow falls into a deep sleep by a poison apple, but once the Player and the Dwarfs confront and defeat the [[Hag]], she is saved by a kiss from [[the Prince]]. In Daybreak Town, a [[Gummi Ship]] containing [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] crash-lands in the park, and they ask the Player’s help in collecting Gummi Pieces to rebuild it. After several failed builds and some encounters with [[Chip]], [[Dale]], and [[King Mickey]], Player manages to bring enough pieces to rebuild the ship and allow all five to depart, all the while Foreteller [[Invi]] watches them. Back in Olympus, Hercules goes after [[Hades]] to save Cloud, who had volunteered to join him, but despite Chirithy’s warnings of the darkness within the [[Underworld]], Player decides to follow them. They accept Hades’s offer to train them in wielding the darkness, but once he kidnaps Hercules, they retaliate and fight back against him with Cloud.
There were initially thirteen main Darknesses, but the Keyblade War reduced this number to six, with the strongest seven locked away in the hearts of the [[Foreteller|Foretellers]], [[Luxu]], and the Master of the Masters. According to the Master of Masters, his plan involved locking away five of the remaining six Darknesses to the new Union leaders after the Keyblade War, and locking the final Darkness inside a Data recreation of Daybreak Town as it is ultimately destroyed.


One night, after helping Moogle recover lost merchandise, Chirithy secretly shows Player a dream in which the [[Master of Masters]] speaks to the Foretellers within the Clock Tower. However, Nightmare Chirithy interferes with the dream, waking Player up, and Chirithy convinces Player to go back to sleep. The next day, Moogle sends Player to fight an [[Invisible]] at Waterfront Park, wherein Player saves a Keyblade wielder. The wielder introduces himself as [[Ephemer]] from a different Union, and as thanks, he tells Player what he’s been working on outside of his Union duties. He reveals to Player that the various worlds they visit are projections, created in order to harvest the light of this world, and he theorizes that the Book of Prophecies is what creates these projections. Player recounts their dream to Ephemer, and the pair decide to investigate the Tower for more clues.
====''Kingdom Hearts Dark Road====
In [[Wonderland]], three of [[Xehanort]]'s classmates were accused of trespassing and stood trial before the [[Queen of Hearts]]. Xehanort, [[Eraqus]], and a fourth classmate appeared and challenged the Queen, enraging her as she calls to her guards to strike them down. However, a [[Ferry Reaper]] appeared in front of the wielders, and Xehanort noticed a shadowy presence behind the Queen before she fled.


With help from Moogle, the pair lower the river’s water level and enter the sewers. After Ephemer saves Player from another Invisible, the pair find the secret passage into the Tower, but Ephemer convinces them that it’s too late for the day, and that they should meet up tomorrow at the Fountain Square. At night, Player excitedly tells Chirithy about their new friend and their meeting tomorrow, but on the next day, Player is left waiting alone at the Fountain for Ephemer to arrive. Another wielder, [[Strelitzia]], spots Player as she leaves for her daily mission, and finds them still waiting at the Fountain at the end of the day. She overlooks the Square from the rooftops as Chirithy approaches and consoles the tearful Player, ensuring them that their friend must’ve had something important for him to break his promise.
Later that day, Xehanort, Eraqus, and a classmate approached the Queen once more, challenging her rule over the citizens of Wonderland and questioning whether her heart is tainted by darkness. The shadowy darkness appears behind her again, and Xehanort determines that her darkness come from the emotion of Wrath. As the shadow disappears, Xehanort notices that it smiled, and it soon transformed into the [[Furious Reaper]] and confronter the wielders.


From that day on, Player encounters Strelitzia over the course of their adventures in each world, but Player ever notices her presence. In Wonderland, Player helps Alice and the White Rabbit out of trouble, meets the [[Mad Hatter and March Hare]], and defends Alice in court against the [[Queen of Hearts]], discovering that Alice is the light of this world. Back at Daybreak Town, Player runs a free trial on the [[Moogle O’ Glory]] Keyblade for Moogle, while Donald, Goofy, Chip, and Dale return in another crash-landing searching for “the Key.” When Player attempts to return the Keyblade, it disappears from Moogle’s hands and back to Player, letting them keep it. The four travelers are forced to board their ship before it could take off on its own, but forget to bring “the Key” (Player) with them.
Four years later, Xehanort appears before the Queen's court once again, accused of trespassing. The shadow appears behind the Queen once again, which Xehanort instantly recognizes.


One night, Ephemer appears within Player’s dream and tells them to find him, before disappearing at the entrance of the Tower. Player awakens, determined to enter the Tower and find Ephemer, but Chirithy attempts to dissuade them from going inside, warning them that the Foretellers had been feuding as of late. The next day, Player asks various wielders for information, and learns that the leader of [[Vulpes]], Master [[Ava]], is gathering wielders from across Unions, and that she had been seen speaking with Ephemer in the past. Player goes to meet a wielder wearing a Pumpkin head, who tells them that he spotted Master Ava heading towards the Tower, so Player takes the entrance in the sewer. They encounter Master Ava, who reprimands them for attempting to enter the Tower based on rumors. Player explains their dream to Ava and their determination to find Ephemer, and Ava decides to challenge them to a battle. Player loses, and Ava tells them that she sense sadness in their heart, and that they should move on from Ephemer or else draw darkness back in. While they slept that night, Ava appeared in their room, speaking with Chirithy about the dream Ephemer sent to Player.
===Ventus's Darkness===
====''Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross]''====
Among the six remaining Darknesses intended to be locked with the Union leaders or within Data Daybreak Town, one Darkness plotted to disrupt the Master's plan by interfering with the Union leaders directly.


Player travels to a new world, [[Beast’s Castle]], to hunt the Heartless drawn there, and encounters the [[Beast]]. He locks Player in a cell, but is released by [[Belle]] and the other attendants of the Castle. Remembering Master Ava’s words and believing the sadness in Beast’s heart draws the Heartless, Player teams up with the Beast to combat them. Before Player can return back after obtaining some peace, Heartless return to the Castle as [[Gaston]] arrives to kill the Beast, only for both to defeat each other. With a kiss from this world’s light, Belle, the Beast is restored to his human form. Back in Daybreak Town, under orders from Player’s Union leader, Chirithy gives them a [[Bracelet of Light]] and allows them to traverse the [[Corridors of Darkness]] to train and become stronger in the presence of darkness, preparing for the fight to come.
Before the [[Dandelions]] could cross worldlines in order to escape the [[Keyblade War]], Darkness took Ventus as its vessel, helping him obtain his unconscious desire for power by striking down one of the new [[Union]] leaders, [[Strelitzia]], and stealing her [[Rulebook]]. Darkness then took on the form of [[Ava]] and delivered the Rulebook to Ventus near the clock tower, instructing him to meet the other new Union leaders at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] at the allotted time.{{storylink|Quest 730: Target: Silver Hammer Frame Pt. 2}} Darkness remained inside Ventus as he ascended into the role of Union leader and entered the Data Daybreak Town.


One day, returning from a mission, Player is approached by a different wielder named [[Skuld]], who tells them that Ephemer used to be in her party in the past. She informs them of a dream she had of Ephemer, where he told her to find and help Player, and then Player informs her of their adventures with Ephemer and the dreams they’ve had. While Skuld and Player decide on entering the Tower –and Chirithy tries to dissuade them–, the group see the Foretellers [[Aced]] and Invi fighting each other among the rooftops. Skuld tells them that Ephemer said the world was coming to an end, and Player decides to investigate the Tower, but as they cross the bridge, new Heartless named [[Darklings]] appear, drawn to Lux. With the Darklings defeated, they retreat as Nightmare Chirithy appears before the group, fully tainted in darkness now, and attempting to harvest the Lux from wielders through the Darklings. Nightmare Chirithy reveals that the Darklings used to be Keyblade wielders who were consumed by darkness and don’t fight using the cards given by the Book of Prophecies. Chirithy asks it who their wielder is, and after a cryptic answer, it disappears.
As the other Union leaders realize that Ventus is an impostor among them, Darkness reveals itself to the them after Ventus collapses, fueled by Lauriam's return and the guilt of Strelitzia's death. When questioned as to its intentions, Darkness explains that it does not have anything that it is trying to achieve, to which Lauriam asks why it killed his sister. Elaborating, Darkness reveals that it had been an unconscious desire of Ventus's to obtain power, and that they had simply done what was necessary in order to give him that, meaning that there was no real reason as to why Strelitzia had to die. Enraged, Lauriam attacks Darkness, but he's defeated easily by it in his weakened state. Afterwards, [[Brain]] questions Darkness as to why it had chosen Ventus and its relation to the Master of Masters, before summoning his [[Keyblade]] and battling Darkness alongside [[Ephemer]] and [[Skuld]].


Player, Chirithy, and Skuld arrive at the secret entrance to the Tower, and Chirithy reluctantly leads the pair to the Foretellers’ Chambers. While at first empty and with no sign of Ephemer, soon the Player’s Union leader arrives (if the Player is in Vulpes, then Master [[Ira]] appears instead of Ava). The Union leader reprimands Chirithy, and informs the group that Ephemer had used the Player to obtain Lux for his own needs, and as such the Foreteller slayed him. Chirithy attempts to take the blame of Player and Skuld trespassing, but Player stands up to the Foreteller, declaring that Ephemer was their friend and that they must confront the Foreteller, even if it means accepting darkness into their heart.
With most of the leaders defeated, Darkness knows it's on the verge of victory. However, it is coaxed by Brain into revealing what it really wanted, to which it replies with infection. Upon clarifying, the entity said that it was just doing its role based on the Book of Prophecies, and used Ventus to separate itself from the hive mind of Darkness. This conferred upon Darkness a will of its own, not caring what sacrifice was needed. When Player and the Union leaders rise up to fight again, Darkness still remained confident that they would lose. As Lauriam spoke of getting out, the entity scoffed at them, asking how they would accomplish it. Hearing of their plans to use the lifeboat as Maleficient had, Darkness ridiculed them for their cluelessness, explaining the true purpose of the lifeboat and how with Maleficient's departure, the lockdown and destruction of the data world had already started. Despite them briefly defeating the entity, it was unable to be destroyed with no form. Afterwards, Ventus awakens, using the [[light]] within him to dispel the creature of [[darkness]]. Aware that it used him to give itself a form, Ventus knew could do the same thing, turning it into something they could destroy. Ventus confronts the entity, and ultimately Darkness is sealed inside his heart.{{storylink|Quest 977: Darkness Looms}}


Player and the Foreteller fight, and after Player collapses, the illusion around the room disappears, and Master Ava stands before the group. She reveals the world’s end and the war that will ensue, her role in gathering wielders to form the [[Dandelions]], and recognized Ephemer as the perfect candidate to lead the Dandelions in her stead, taking him to “the next world.” She describes that a wielder in Daybreak Town has been corrupted by darkness, as evident by the Nightmare Chirithy, and as such she has been testing wielders with a strong resistance to darkness to join the Dandelions. The pair are invited, and while Skuld gladly accepts, Player refrains so they can decide later, not wanting to leave the other wielders to perish in the [[Keyblade War]] to come. At the Fountain Square, Skuld tells Player her story of how she met Ephemer, and how she decided to join the Dandelions to meet with Ephemer once again. The pair then depart to continue on their journeys.
The unconscious Ventus is taken by the other Union leaders to the Lifeboat, where he is taken to the Real Daybreak Town and is subsequently sent traveling to the future inside the Lifeboat, Darkness still residing deep in his heart.


Back in Agrabah, Aladdin enlists the help of Player in order to find Abu. They delve into the desert and encounter the Red Bandit in its base, where they defeat it and rescue Abu from their clutches. Afterwards, during another event to collect Crystals of Light from the Moogle’s Light Draw Bangle, Player encounters a party of 10 wielders, led by a wielder named Captain. Among them, a girl dressed in pink stays behind to explore and a boy with an afro hides from the Heartless, while the rest engage in them for the Crystals. By the end of the event, however, only the girl in pink and a girl with a pirate bandana can be found, and at least four of the other wielders are turned into Darklings themselves.
====''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind''====
When [[Sora]] begins his journey to restore [[Kairi]]'s heart using the [[power of waking]], he first enters Ventus's [[heart]]. When attempting to wake Ventus, he is stopped by an entity referring to itself as "Darkness". Sora questions if "Darkness" is [[Vanitas]] based on the latter's last words, but does not get a reply as the entity forms itself into the [[Dark Inferno χ]] and battles Sora.


A few months later, Player witnesses two Keyblade wielders arguing with each other in the Fountain Square about their respective Unions being traitors. While Player was going to leave them alone, they intervene once both wielders draw their Keyblades to fight. Skuld appears to calm them down, but a crowd of wielders appear to join in the argument. Master Aced arrives, and states that wielders don’t need Lux as long as they have strength. Skuld disagrees, but Master Aced dismisses her remarks, as she is a member of the Dandelions. As such, Players steps up to Master Aced, but the Foreteller challenges them to a fight. After defeating the Player, Aced declares that they are not worthy of the Keyblade, but Master Ira appears to stop Aced. Master Aced declares that he will banish all other Unions and stand as the remaining leader in order to end the War, and he departs. Master Ira informs Player and Skuld that the War is inevitable and that they must fight in order for no victor remain, and as he departs, Player collapses from their injury.
===Rogue Darkness===
Among the six remaining Darknesses intended to be locked with the Union leaders or within Data Daybreak Town, a rogue Darkness actively sought to escape the [[Data World]].


In a dream, Player stands within the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], as various silhouettes stand around them and the light of [[Kingdom Hearts]] shines from above. Player wakes up to find themself in their bed, with Skuld and Chirithy beside them. Skuld informs Player that she’s been trying to convince others to join the Dandelions and not participate in the War, but to no avail. She also reveals Master Ava has gone missing, and when Chirithy proposes that Master [[Gula]] may know what happened to her, Player gets up and decides to meet him.
After reliving the events of the past for two years, the old world's timeline concerning the Keyblade War was eventually rewritten. Going forward, Darkness approaches [[Maleficent]] after she is defeated by the likes of [[Player (KHχ)|Player]] and [[Prince Phillip]]. Darkness explains that the reason she could not rewrite history was because the Master of Masters had known she would arrive from the future in order to try and alter the past, which is why [[Enchanted Dominion]] had been excluded from the real world until after the Keyblade War. As Darkness feared Maleficent would return to the future with knowledge of the past, it trapped her within the data of Enchanted Dominion and ensured that the data of [[Radiant Garden]] was excluded.


Player, Skuld, and Chirithy arrive to the building that Gula usually resides in, and as they walk in, the Chirithy of both Strelitzia and another wielder watch them enter. Inside, the group encounter Master Gula, who tells them that anything they do to stop the War is pointless, as the only person capable of doing so is the Master of Masters. Gula and Ava had searched for him to no avail, but Master Ava decided to find the Master’s sixth apprentice, [[Luxu]], to ask for his whereabouts. Gula tells them the secret passage written in the Book’s Lost Page, which only Gula has, and how the traitor will be the one who will set the War in motion with a single strike, sounding the Clock Tower’s Bells. As they speak, the bells from the Clock Tower sound, commencing the beginning of the end.
Darkness then guides Maleficent to Data [[Daybreak Town]], where she is to use the [[lifeboat]] hidden within the clock tower, which had been intended to be used to cross worldlines - though it mentions that the lifeboat had never been finished, thus allowing her to escape to a different time rather than a different world. As she would lose her [[body]] as a result of the incomplete nature of the lifeboat, Maleficent would break through the time barrier as she travelled at the speed of light, requiring only someone with memories of her as a medium to recreate a body in the future - which is guaranteed as the Book of Prophecies dictates her existence in the future. When Maleficent questions Darkness's identity, it calls itself an "old friend", explaining that it needed her back in her own time to act as a waypoint, thus allowing someone to travel through time into the future.


Outside the building, Player and Skuld depart, the latter heading towards the Dandelions and asking the Player to abstain from the War. Chirithy asks the same from the Player, due to its connection as a Dream Eater, as well as being their friend, and so Player decides to not fight in the War. However, Nightmare Chirithy appears to taunt their decision to run away, and reveals that the Power Bangle given to them has been collecting darkness not to convert it into light but to use it as darkness itself, and how it was willed by the Master himself. Chirithy asks it who their wielder is, and Nightmare Chirithy reveals itself to be the Player’s Chirithy, with the main difference to the other Chirithy being it has a will of its own. Nightmare Chirithy summons Darklings to fight, and once they’re defeated, it absorbs the Darklings and becomes a Nightmare monster. With its defeat, Nightmare Chirithy disappears “for now,” and announces it’ll see the Player “in another dream.”
Upon locating the lifeboat, Maleficent hesitates to return to her own time, thus allowing [[Lauriam]] to catch up with her and Darkness, wherein she reveals the function of the lifeboat as a means of escape to Lauriam before attempting to leave. However, Lauriam doesn't intend on allowing this to happen, and he attacks Maleficent, who is aided by Darkness in defeating the [[Keyblade wielder]] in order to utilize the lifeboat to return to the real world. Once there, Darkness instructs Maleficent to utilize the real lifeboat to get back to her own time, but refuses to join her, as it has something it still needs to do in the past.


A few days later, Player has joined in the fray against the other Unions at the Keyblade War. As wielders fight each other, Player encounters and fights against four of the five Foretellers, all except their Union leader, one by one. With each battle, Player grows weaker, and they see other wielders fall, Keyblades land on the ground, and the hearts of others float into the sky. With four Foretellers fought, Player collapses on the ground in pain, and soon finds themself to be the last surviving person on the battlefield. Chirithy appears before them, embracing them and telling them to rest. The light of Kingdom Hearts appears in the sky, and what appears to be Skuld walks up to them. Behind her, Ephemer appears, and Player complains to him about breaking his promise, which he apologizes for. Ephemer reaches out his hand and signals Player to come with him to the next world. And so, the Player reaches out towards his hand.
Darkness begins to check on the data from the real world, but soon is confronted by Luxu. He explains that the Master had instructed Luxu to return to Daybreak Town, despite his instruction to not interfere, and proceeds to place "the true Dandelion" into the lifeboat and send it to the future. Darkness questions Luxu's actions for using one of the lifeboats and the Master's plan for the Keyblade wielders, but Luxu reaffirms his trust in his master and his mutual dislike for the Darkness. It explains its plan to expand across the Data Worlds and to travel to the future through Ventus, but Luxu decides to confront Darkness directly and prevent it from appearing in the future, attempting to keep it formless and lose its will. Once Luxu determined the rogue Darkness was the only one to escape the Data World, the two clashed.


After that, Player was taken into the [[Data World]] recreation of Daybreak Town, joining the [[Dandelions]] who had arrived prior to the Keyblade War. Player, along with the Dandelions, had their memories erased and relive all of their adventures across the many worlds, with minor changes sprinkled throughout their adventures, such as the omission of Light Draw Bangles. After the Player’s adventures in Beast’s Castle, they encounter two Dandelions from a different Union, one of which had distance himself from his friends. When he ventured alone to fight Heartless at Beast’s Castle, his friend got injured defending him, and Player was able to help him fight back.
===Remaining Darknesses===
Among the six remaining Darknesses intended to be locked with the Union leaders or within Data Daybreak Town, four Darknesses sought to spread across the other Data Worlds that lie beyond their reach.


===‘’Unchained 0[Zero]’’===
The four Darknesses appear to Player, Ephemer, and Skuld in the Data Daybreak Town and try to make them open the gate to [[Game Central Station]]. Player pretends to be possessed by the Darkness that resided in Ventus, attacking both Ephemer and Skuld and defeats them in battle. As Player moves to seemingly strike a final blow to Skuld, Ephemer shoots a beam of energy through Player and creates a gate behind them, sending them and the four Darknesses through to the corridor connecting to Game Central Station while locking the gate from his own side. Within the corridor, Darkness say they should dispose of Player's weakening body as they have no use for them anymore. However, Player reveals their trick to the Darknesses, and then seals the gate to Game Central Station from within the corridor, trapping the four Darknesses within the corridor, enraging them as the Data World shuts down.
Sometime after Player has relived their encounter with Master Ava and Skuld, they travel with Chirithy to the new world of [[Enchanted Dominion]], to see if they could potentially become more open-minded to their decision with Master Ava. Player falls asleep in the forest, and then wakes up suddenly after experiencing a dream of the events of the Keyblade War, a memory that should have been repressed. Chirithy questions them about the dream, but insists that it must be due to exhaustion. After exploring the forest further, the pair discover a bridge leading towards a castle, the path covered in a thicket of black thorns. Chirithy suggests that they head back to Daybreak Town and, once they spot a flying [[Maleficent’s Raven|raven]], remarks about how nice it would be to fly.

Story

Before Kingdom Hearts Union χ

Long ago, Darkness possessed physical forms, but cast off these forms to defeat Light and became shadowy incorporeal entities. In order to propagate and increase their numbers, they attacked the hearts directly, with people succumbing to their negative emotions and giving rise to the Pureblood Heartless.

At some point in time, when the Master of Masters was composing the Book of Prophecies utilizing knowledge passed to him via the Gazing Eye, Darkness watched over his shoulder, reading the passages as they were entered.

Additionally, the two had spoken to one another in the past, though because of their opposing positions, they were unable to understand each another. Even so, Darkness views the Master of Masters as an "old friend".

There were initially thirteen main Darknesses, but the Keyblade War reduced this number to six, with the strongest seven locked away in the hearts of the Foretellers, Luxu, and the Master of the Masters. According to the Master of Masters, his plan involved locking away five of the remaining six Darknesses to the new Union leaders after the Keyblade War, and locking the final Darkness inside a Data recreation of Daybreak Town as it is ultimately destroyed.

Kingdom Hearts Dark Road

In Wonderland, three of Xehanort's classmates were accused of trespassing and stood trial before the Queen of Hearts. Xehanort, Eraqus, and a fourth classmate appeared and challenged the Queen, enraging her as she calls to her guards to strike them down. However, a Ferry Reaper appeared in front of the wielders, and Xehanort noticed a shadowy presence behind the Queen before she fled.

The shadowy darkness appears behind her again, and Xehanort determines that her darkness come from the emotion of Wrath. As the shadow disappears, Xehanort notices that it smiled, and it soon transformed into the Furious Reaper and confronter the wielders.

Four years later, Xehanort appears before the Queen's court once again, accused of trespassing. The shadow appears behind the Queen once again, which Xehanort instantly recognizes.

Ventus's Darkness

Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross]

Among the six remaining Darknesses intended to be locked with the Union leaders or within Data Daybreak Town, one Darkness plotted to disrupt the Master's plan by interfering with the Union leaders directly.

Before the Dandelions could cross worldlines in order to escape the Keyblade War, Darkness took Ventus as its vessel, helping him obtain his unconscious desire for power by striking down one of the new Union leaders, Strelitzia, and stealing her Rulebook.

Among the six remaining Darknesses intended to be locked with the Union leaders or within Data Daybreak Town, a rogue Darkness actively sought to escape the Data World.

After reliving the events of the past for two years, the old world's timeline concerning the Keyblade War was eventually rewritten. Going forward, Darkness approaches Maleficent after she is defeated by the likes of Player and Prince Phillip. Darkness explains that the reason she could not rewrite history was because the Master of Masters had known she would arrive from the future in order to try and alter the past, which is why Enchanted Dominion had been excluded from the real world until after the Keyblade War. As Darkness feared Maleficent would return to the future with knowledge of the past, it trapped her within the data of Enchanted Dominion and ensured that the data of Radiant Garden was excluded.

Darkness then guides Maleficent to Data Daybreak Town, where she is to use the lifeboat hidden within the clock tower, which had been intended to be used to cross worldlines - though it mentions that the lifeboat had never been finished, thus allowing her to escape to a different time rather than a different world. As she would lose her body as a result of the incomplete nature of the lifeboat, Maleficent would break through the time barrier as she travelled at the speed of light, requiring only someone with memories of her as a medium to recreate a body in the future - which is guaranteed as the Book of Prophecies dictates her existence in the future. When Maleficent questions Darkness's identity, it calls itself an "old friend", explaining that it needed her back in her own time to act as a waypoint, thus allowing someone to travel through time into the future.

Upon locating the lifeboat, Maleficent hesitates to return to her own time, thus allowing Lauriam to catch up with her and Darkness, wherein she reveals the function of the lifeboat as a means of escape to Lauriam before attempting to leave. However, Lauriam doesn't intend on allowing this to happen, and he attacks Maleficent, who is aided by Darkness in defeating the Keyblade wielder in order to utilize the lifeboat to return to the real world. Once there, Darkness instructs Maleficent to utilize the real lifeboat to get back to her own time, but refuses to join her, as it has something it still needs to do in the past.

Darkness begins to check on the data from the real world, but soon is confronted by Luxu. He explains that the Master had instructed Luxu to return to Daybreak Town, despite his instruction to not interfere, and proceeds to place "the true Dandelion" into the lifeboat and send it to the future. Darkness questions Luxu's actions for using one of the lifeboats and the Master's plan for the Keyblade wielders, but Luxu reaffirms his trust in his master and his mutual dislike for the Darkness. It explains its plan to expand across the Data Worlds and to travel to the future through Ventus, but Luxu decides to confront Darkness directly and prevent it from appearing in the future, attempting to keep it formless and lose its will. Once Luxu determined the rogue Darkness was the only one to escape the Data World, the two clashed.

Remaining Darknesses

Among the six remaining Darknesses intended to be locked with the Union leaders or within Data Daybreak Town, four Darknesses sought to spread across the other Data Worlds that lie beyond their reach.

The four Darknesses appear to Player, Ephemer, and Skuld in the Data Daybreak Town and try to make them open the gate to Game Central Station. Player pretends to be possessed by the Darkness that resided in Ventus, attacking both Ephemer and Skuld and defeats them in battle. As Player moves to seemingly strike a final blow to Skuld, Ephemer shoots a beam of energy through Player and creates a gate behind them, sending them and the four Darknesses through to the corridor connecting to Game Central Station while locking the gate from his own side. Within the corridor, Darkness say they should dispose of Player's weakening body as they have no use for them anymore. However, Player reveals their trick to the Darknesses, and then seals the gate to Game Central Station from within the corridor, trapping the four Darknesses within the corridor, enraging them as the Data World shuts down.
