The pilot opens with narration by [[Jiminy Cricket]], musing about how every world has a hero. The worlds, however, are in danger from the [[Heartless]], whose origin are unknown. [[King Mickey]] leaves to face the threat, leaving [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]] a message to seek the one who wields the [[Keyblade]].

At [[Destiny Islands]], [[Riku]] and [[Sora]] are in a sparring match, with Sora wielding his Keyblade and Riku wielding a black sword. Riku disarms Sora, sending his Keyblade flying, and [[Kairi]] calls the match a draw as it hits the ground. The trio rest on a horizontal palm tree and wonder about the existence of other worlds, but their conversation is interrupted - a portal appears and darkens the sky, as numerous [[Shadow]]s appear on the island. Riku draws his sword and defeats several Shadows. Kairi kicks a Shadow aside and runs toward him, as Sora looks on in shock. A [[Darkside]] appears behind Sora, and as he turns to look at it, he notices he is on a floating chunk of the island high in the sky. The Darkside slams its hand into Sora and the ground, surrounding him in darkness. Sora suddenly wakes up on the [[Gummi Ship]], revealing the prior events to be a nightmare. He looks at a photograph of himself, Riku, and Kairi, and affirms his vow to find them.

At [[Hollow Bastion]], [[Maleficent]] demands the magic lamp from [[Agrabah]] to further the invasion of Heartless into that world. [[Jafar]] informs her that a "diamond in the rough" is necessary to retrieve the lamp, but Maleficent refuses his help, magically throwing him out of the room. She instead instructs Riku to find the "diamond in the rough" and the lamp, and assures Riku that she will help return him and his friends to Destiny Islands.

Sora spots Riku fighting a group of bandits with his black sword, which now has a wing-like shape similar to the [[Soul Eater]], and leaves a purple trail when swung. The two reunite with a hug, and Riku tells Sora that they need to get the magic lamp in order to find Kairi. The conversation is interrupted by [[Fat Bandit]]s that approach from both sides of the area, and Sora and Riku each decide to take one side. Donald and Goofy arrive to assist Sora, to Riku's confusion. He watches the trio from the other side of the room, the group of Heartless behind him staying still and not attacking. He dispels the stationary Heartless with a snap of his fingers just before Sora finishes the last Fat Bandit by casting Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder in quick succession. Sora introduces Riku to Donald and Goofy, and the group go to the Cave of Wonders to find the lamp.

Riku reasons that Sora qualifies as a "diamond in the rough", and the cave's guardian agrees, granting access to the group. Sora and Riku arrive at the lamp chamber and race up the stairs, with Riku tripping Sora and being the first to grab the lamp. As he does, his eyes suddenly go white and the room darkens. A dark portal "to the realm of the Heartless" appears, and a Darkside among several other Heartless start to come through. Sora tells Riku to put the lamp back, and a seemingly-possessed Riku responds that the power of the Heartless is both necessary to find Kairi and too strong for Sora to defeat. He tells Sora that he is not a hero, but Sora affirms his resolve and declares that he is one. He charges up the stairs, defeating several Heartless as he does, and forcibly takes the lamp from Riku's hands. Riku claims that he lost control upon touching the lamp, and begs Sora to believe him—but before Sora can respond, the Darkside grabs Riku and takes him through the dark portal. Sora places the lamp back on the pedestal and walks away.

Riku returns to Hollow Bastion with news of his failure. Maleficent asks if Sora believes Riku's claim, and Riku says that he has to. Maleficent maniacally laughs as the scene fades.

Sora returns to the Gummi Ship, where he reaffirms that he must defeat the Heartless in order to save his friends. Donald and Goofy offer words of encouragement, and that they will help him every step of the way.
