[[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 Jiminy had previously left as a clue to their adventure in [[Castle Oblivion]]. The group begins their journey anew and go to the main city of Twilight Town, instead of the virtual simulation where Roxas lived by some time. The group crosses paths with the [[Mickey Mouse|King]], who saves them from the group of Nobodies. Puzzled by the fact that Mickey wears a strange black coat the trio is still happy to see him. The king then orders them to board a magical train, before running off. In the station, the real Hayner, Pence and Olette say their farewell to Sora, who cries because of Roxas inside of him. Before party leave, Riku, disguised by his hood, gave Sora a munny pouch and the blue orb Roxas won in the Struggle tournament in the simulation.

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. Before that, Sora, Donald and Goofy learn that the [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]] they fought a year ago was actually the Heartless of [[Terra-Xehanort|Xehanort]], who was apprentice of [[Ansem the Wise]], and this world - Hollow Bastion - was once had another name, which party restores through Ansem's computer. Since then, the world is now goes by it's original name: [[Radiant Garden]]. Mickey also points out that the Nobody of Xehanort, [[Xemnas]], is the leader of Organization XIII. This reveal confuses Sora, but Mickey is able to convince him that this is all true. After intense battle with the Heartless, Xemnas appears before heroes, revealing his face. He then quickly leaves with a cryptic note that King Mickey knows where Riku is. Sora tries to hold some answers from King Mickey but Mickey is escaped along with Xemnas through a Corridor of Darkness, as he promised Riku not to tell Sora about Riku's whereabouts. Xemnas and the king leaves and another member of the Organization, [[Saïx]], appears before the group. He tries to convince Sora to continue slaying Heartless, but Axel, who revealed to be the traitor to the Organization, reveals their ultimate goal: the Nobodies' plan to create another [[Kingdom Hearts]] from people's hearts, and to do this, they need a Keyblade wielder, such as Sora, as he's the only one who can set hearts free. The Kingdom Hearts will presumably allow the Nobodies to get their hearts back. Saïx is displeased by this reveal and summon more Heartless. Both Nobodies retreat, leaving Sora with all this information, but Maleficent appears and defend Sora, so he could escape. The trio departs, now with new mission: find the Organization's world and put an end to all of it's members.
