The Complete Kingdom Hearts Timeline Explained

[Music] there isn't much time left Kingdom Hearts 3 is just behind the horizon it was only being days away I figured I would take it upon myself to try and help those who wish to understand the story of Kingdom Hearts 2 get caught up with just enough time to spare my name is on the firm 72 and today I am joined with my friends and with our best attempt we'll try to explain the entire Kingdom Hearts story for you here is the entire kingdom hearts timeline from everything we have so far let's go Kingdom Hearts originally released back in 2002 begins with our main characters Sora Riku and Kairi as they are attempting to build a raft in order to leave their small islands known as destiny islands so they can venture into other worlds while collecting materials for the raft Sora heads into an area of the island called the secret place and against to reminisce about Kairi unbeknownst to sora a hooded figure appears behind him explaining to sora his world has been connected and that soon it will be completely eclipsed he then goes on to tell store that he knows nothing and can understand nothing and then he disappears elsewhere in a world called Disney Castle we meet our other main characters Donald Duck and Goofy and are told through a letter that their King King Mickey left behind saying that there is trouble brewing for all of the worlds and he has to go check up on the situation and that he needs both Donald and Goofy to find someone with a key since this person is the key to not only their survival but the survival of all the world's going back to destiny islands all things for our island trio students have been going nicely until later when destiny islands is becoming consumed by darkness Sora thinking out the events currently going on or just a storm realizes that the wrath is in danger and journeys to the island ventrally Sora comes across Riku and Riku seemingly unfazed on the events that are going on reaches out his hand until saw that the door is open Sora reaches out for Riku but fails to get him and darkness consumes them both then a light appears and Riku seemingly disappears while storoe stumbles in the very same spot except now he has a weapon called the Keyblade in his hand Soraa then races to the secret place where he encounters Kyrie the door behind carry bursts open pushing Kyrie toward Sura but she faces right through him he is then pushed out of the cave and destiny islands Falls to darkness a time later and we see Sora waking up in an unfamiliar place this place becomes known as travelers town a world were those whose homes were taken by the darkness come to after they fall into darkness after wandering around Travers town sora encounters leon and a battle ensues meanwhile Donald and Goofy are walking around Traverse Town looking for Leon and they encounter Aerith after Sora and Leon fight Sora is then brought back to Leon's room where all of the following is explained in detail first the heartless creatures born from the darkness of people's hearts is explained that almost every person has darkness in their hearts and that the Heartless have a great fear of the Keyblade which is why Sora was constantly attacked by them the character known as Ansem which is explained by leon yuffie edy Aerith seems to have been studying the heartless and that he had been recording all of his findings in a very detailed report one drawback is that its pages were scattered among many different worlds and perhaps that is what King Mickey is trying to track down as soon as the explanations are finished however Sora and company are attacked by the Heartless Sora rushing to another part of town coincidentally meets up with Donald and Goofy and together the three quickly take care of the threat that was in front of him after the battle is recommended by Leon and his friends that Sora partner up with Donald and Goofy if he wishes to find his friends and that Donald and Goofy can find King Mickey after a funny interaction between the three sura agrees to travel along side Donald and Goofy and they begin their search across many worlds in an attempt to find their missing friends while they do this we are shown a scene that contains a bunch of Disney villains and Maleficent the supposed to Dreamland er of them all meeting up and talking about what Soren company are up to as well as other plans they have in store for our heroes after traversing through many worlds unlocking the keyholes of each world which by the way prevents Hartman's from taking over that world and making it fall to darkness as well as still continuing to look for Kairi Riku and King Mickey Soren company go back to Traverse Town and meet up with Riku for the first time since they were separated sir offers that Riku come with them with Donald telling them otherwise the two bicker and Riku seemingly disappears but Sora is nonetheless happy because now he knows that one of his friends are safe it's then showing minutes later that Maleficent has partnered up with Riku making him believe that Sora no longer for him and because of that has even riku more of a reason to trust Maleficent and do things according to what she tells him to do later Sauron company traveled to a world called Hollow Bastion upon venturing into the castle gates Sora Donald and Goofy encounter Riku and the beasts the fight breaks out between the two but soar ends up stopping them Riku perceives to tell Sora that there cannot be two Keyblade masters in gains control over Sora's Keyblade claiming to be its true master he tells him he doesn't have what it takes to save Kyrie and thirst Sora has old wooden blade Donald and Goofy proceed to leave Sora because they were reminded that they had a mission to complete now that Sora no longer has the Keyblade there wasn't a reason to stay with them any longer after helping the beasts or embiez continue to make their way through the castle eventually getting inside and meeting Riku who seems to have changed a bit Riku tells sword that the darkness will destroy him and goes to shoot a blast of darkness at him but suddenly goofy blocks the attack and tells Riku that they've become best friends during their travels and that nothing would make him betray Sora Donald follows suit and right after a Sora ends up gaining control over his Keyblade again and fights Riku and emerges victorious with the gang back together again they continued to infiltrate the castle meanwhile in another part of the castle who loved since plans revealed her goal was to collect the seven princesses of heart beings of pure light with them she is able to complete the final keyhole which will lead her into Kingdom Hearts the heart of all worlds in the source of unmeasurable power at knowledge at the same time it is revealed that Kyrie is one of the princesses of heart and that Riku and the hooded figure seem to have come together and have been working together for some time now Riku proceeds to tell Maleficent that without the last princess of heart the keyhole cannot be completed Maleficent meets with Sora and battles ensue with Sora being the victor back at the final keyhole Sora finds a lifeless Kyrie in the seemingly possessed Riku tells Sora that Kyra's heart was inside of Sora all along and to complete the keyhole he needs to release it from Sora Sora asks who the person controlling Riku really is and he proceeds to call himself Ansem the seeker of Darkness right after Sora and the newly possessed Riku fight but Sora ends up winning after the battle Sora tries to steal the last keyhole but fails to do so he then notices the black Keyblade Ansem was using and goes to up without a second thought sir lunches the Keyblade into his chest releasing the princesses hearts and that means releasing kairi's as well the sacrifice causes Sora to disappear Kyrie wakes up after regaining her heart and Anselm's true form is revealed as Ansem walks towards Kyrie Riku appears holding Anton back so he can give Kyrie Donald and Goofy enough time to escape afterwards when Kyrie Donald and Goofy are almost out of the castle they come across a lone shadow heartless the heartless is in hostile and shows it really means no harm it is in the Kyrie in the shadow are swarmed by a bunch of other heartless and as Carrie goes to protect the shadow thinking it to be Sora Sora returns back to normal as he was indeed the shadow she protected Soren company go back to Traverse town for a bit of rest during their downtime Sora and Carrie have a moment where she proceeds to give him her good luck charm she had made and tells him he better promise to bring it back in which he does Sora dull and goofy then head back to hala Bastian to complete the final keyhole after the keyhole sealed Sora and company make their way to their final destination known as the end of the world it is here where Sora meets with Anselm's seeker of Darkness and they do battle a few times with one another after Sora Donald and Goofy are victorious and Ansem is defeated for good they had found their way in front of something called the door - darkness they noticed a bunch of heartless are on the other side so they attempt to close the door for good when all seems lost Riku who seems to have gotten full control over his body back appearance on the other side of the door just then King Mickey is also revealed to be on the other side of the door and tells Sora that it's time to close the door for good and also not to worry as there will always be a door to the light Dallman Goofy reassures to Sora that he can trust King Mickey and with Riku final words to Sora being take care of her they all successfully closed the door - darkness right after they closed the door however Kyrie is standing a waste behind Sora and he quickly goes to her Sora says to Kyrie - remember what she said to him before that he's always with her - and that he will come back to her which she responds I know you will then both of them are separated from each other Kyrie going back to the newly restored destiny islands while Sora Donald and Goofy are going elsewhere after the credits roll Sora Donald and Goofy are aimlessly walking around trying to figure out a way to find Riku and King Mickey and are then surprised when Pluto appears with a letter in his the three chase after Pluto with newfound confidence that wherever this path may lead them will let them find their missing friends and this leads into the next title Kingdom Hearts 3 chain of Memories [Music] the story of chain of Memories picks up right where Kingdom Hearts 1 left off after Sora Donald the goofy were separated from their friends they continued their journey through this mysterious winding path to find them one night while sleeping under the stars a mysterious hooded figure lead sword and the gang to the setting of the game Castle oblivion this hooded figure warns them the deeper they go into the castle the more they will lose their memories but they will also find some new memories in the process the figure created a card from Sora's memory to travel deeper into the castle with under the assumption that they can potentially find Riku and the king they continue deeper through Castle oblivion each floor acting as a rehash of the world we visited in Kingdom Hearts 1 the first world we visit through Sora's memories is his adventure in Traverse Town after repeating the Final Fantasy characters that have no memory of Sora at all since they are just illusions made up of his memory he defeats the Heartless boss of this world and continues on to the next floor leaving Traverse Town behind on the next floor of this castle Sora meets axel who seems to be working with the individual who gave Sora his card on the first floor axel summons his weapons and challenges Sora to test his strength after defeating axel axel provides him with another group of cards like the original hooded figure provided to him in the beginning of the castle Sora uses these cards to advance deeper into the castle after several Disney World revisits each floor starts to fill Sora with the memory he had long forgotten swore begins to remember this girl back on destiny Islands solar alleges that he Riku Kairi and this other girl used to play together on this island Sora promised this girl that he would protect her if one of the meteors came and tried to hurt them but Sora can't seem to remember her name the highest Sora gets to the castle the more sora begins to remember about this girl but still not her name after clearing out the cards axel laid out for him you arrive on the floor where you meet large scene another member of the organization after large scene reveals to Sora that the girl that he can't remember is locked up in the castle the memory of her returns to him in the form of nómine Sora furious at lakhtin for forcing that memory out of him and for nearly destroying the lucky charm nominee gave him attacks and begins another fight after the fight large scene provides Sora with even more cards to continue deeper into the Sol as Sora moves on he runs into Riku but something seems a little bit off about him Sora excited to see his friend again is actually attacked by said friend saying that he's the one who needs to protect nominee and that Sora should just go home hesitant in fighting back Sora stands and fights Riku leading into more gameplay here on the 10th floor Sora encounters vex in Bexon is another member of the organization sent out to destroy Sora Sora makes the connection that Vexen is the reason why Riku has been acting out so two free Riku Sora battles Vexin Sora and vex in battle in which soar is victorious and Vexen provides Sora with a brand new colored Vexen describes his card to be crafted from the other side of Sora's heart when Sora goes to activate the card it leads him to a world that he have never been to before but a world that does feel familiar to him this world is Twilight town Sora dies deeper into Twilight town and reaches the outside of the sealed off mansion where Vexen is the battle once again and Vexen loses once again after the battle Vexen almost spills the beans of the organization to soar before axel intervenes axel calling Vexen a traitor to the organization murders Vexen in a fiery explosion completely getting rid of him as we continue to castle oblivion Riku should be freed from the control of X sin now that he has been completely destroyed but that isn't the case since Riku is still intent and fighting Sora to protect nominate this leads to the next world destiny islands Sora's home Sora finally comes face to face with nomine nómine filled with guilt and resentment comes clean about the fact that she was actually never a part of Sora's memories at all there was another girl in Sora's memories the person who meant the most to him in the world but Sora can no longer remember this girl's name this leads into the next floor in castle oblivion where he confronts nominate on what all that meant in destiny islands but before they can continue their conversation sora gets interrupted by Riku one last time before they clash before Riku can deliver the final blow nominate bright shriek whose heart making him into a lifeless puppet Larson steps in to reveal that that Riku is not actually the real Riku but rather a puppet created by effects in with fabricated memories LARC scene also reveals that the memory sore were having about nómine are completely fake and all part of the plan to make the Keyblade master into the puppet for the organization not money has this power over Sora's memories that allows her to manipulate them to make sword think whatever she wants so I gets really upset after hearing all this but remembers that he made a promise to nominate to protect her Sora doesn't care since the promise felt real to him and a tax lark seen after the fight large scene is defeated sore and nominee finally have a real face to face conversation about everything that's been going on nominee explains how lonely she's been at how Marr Lucia the figure who gave so are the cards from the very beginning has been forcing her to mess with his memories so her forgives nominate for this and nominate explains that she can fix Sora's memories if they defeat Mar Lucia so the gang heads up to the final floor while all of this is going down though Axl has actually revealed to be a traitor to the members of the organization and Castle oblivion Axl is attempting to stop marluxia from taking over the organization when Axl Ammar Lucia clash Mar Lucia uses nominate as a human shield like the coward he is and Sora intervenes to stop Axl from doing so when Axl is defeated there's nothing stopping Sora for facing marluxia on his own Sora reaches the final floor and Sora and Mar Lucia fight after my Lucia is defeated it's revealed that it was only an illusion the real Marta Lucia is beyond that door so it goes and fights the real Mar Lucia and defeats it after all that is done nómine gives Sora a choice he can remember the time she had here at castle oblivion or he can go back to his old memories Sora decides to go back to his old memories nominee says that Sora Donald the goofy need to sleep in these special paws so she could begin working on their memories jiminy puts thanked dominate in his journal to remember to thank her when they wake up while in the pod nominee tell sewer that if he can remember the promise that he made to the other girl the memories will come back much faster Sora then begins to remember Kairi and as Sora begins to fall asleep nominee begins work in putting his memory back together but whoa turns out there's actually a whole other part of this game to get through Kingdom Hearts chain of Memories reverse rebirth tells the story of Riku inside of Castle oblivion but starting from the basement floor this story is happening at the same time as Sora's Riku is transported from the realm of darkness from Kingdom Hearts 1 to the basement of Castle oblivion Riku ends up fighting vex in and obtains his data to create replicas Riku that Sora has to deal with the deeper Riku goes inside the castle and some seeker of Darkness attempts to take control of Riku again but King Mickey uses his power to stop Ansem from taking control again as we can continue to the floor as he fights Lexy as' another member of the organization and defeats him using the power of darkness during riku's revisits to destiny islands Riku is attacked by what seems to be Sora it turns out that the sore is actually just another member of the organization called zexion and not many steps into savory kou disguised as Kyrie this allows Riku to control his darkness and defeat section and one of the coolest fights in the game in my opinion Riku then meets diz a mysterious individual who sends him to find nómine this leads Riku to Twilight town a place or visits in his memories but never actually visited before this is where a replica Riku yeah remember him has learned that his entire existence is a lie the only way he can justify his existence is to eliminate the real Riku but he tries and gets bodied as we approach the end of Riku journey Mickey is actually in castle oblivion now and some secret of darkness still has his grasp on Riku and Riku has none this growing and has learned to accept the darkness within him Riku defeats anthem the secret of darkness in a one-on-one battle after this Riku still feels the traces of Ansem inside of him and starts a journey of self-discovery with Mickey where he learns to use both the light and darkness by walking the road to dawn and that concludes both of our adventures in Kingdom Hearts chain of Memories [Music] Kingdom Hearts 2 is a direct sequel to Kingdom Hearts chain of Memories as well as a game that ties together the elements from three five eight days over to and considered by many the true sequel to Kingdom Hearts one being the next main numbered title in the franchise the game begins not with Sora but Roxas who wakes up as an ordinary citizen in Twilight town these scenes pick up after the events of three five eight days / - but Roxas does not remember any of the events from that game at the time of waking here he instead remembers being lifelong friends with Haner pensando let in this small town and is spending his last summer days before school begins again although he's trying to live his ordinary life in this town many very very strange occurrences happen in this world from the word photo being stolen and being literally unspeakable to time-freezing to seeing men in black hoods and white creatures and a whole bunch of other weird real-life glitch type of things on numerous occasions were things in real life began acting up Roxas is able to summon a keyblade to deal with the strange enemies alongside strange daytime occurrences Roxas every night has dreams that are Sora's exact memories from the first Kingdom Hearts game and he wakes up every morning wondering why this happens but it is through these dreams he learns more about the keyblade and while not knowing it yet he's learning about himself as well the craziness only ramps up the closer Roxas gets to the end of his summer vacation numerous people keep trying to contact him as Twilight town freezes up telling him about who he's supposed to be there's axle and the nobodies who come and try to convince Roxas that he's part of an organization begging him to remember there's the mysterious man named is who was only trying to stop these nobodies from butting in on this world and try to have Roxas passively continue his daily life and then there's nominee a girl who explains to him that a nobody is a shell of a person who is not supposed to exist and gives Roxas clues to help him figure out the reason he has the dreams and the strange occurrences Roxas ends up trusting nominated the most in all of this discourse leading him to come to the conclusion that he must find Sora Roxas doing this causes disses plan to fall apart the truth is after Riku defeated Roxas at the end of days they took his body and put him in a digital simulation of the real Twilight town to observe Roxas and keep him here so that nominee can finish restoring Sora's memories and have Sora be able to awaken Riku is working with divs through this time period to ensure Sora will wake up and when he's unhooded he's revealed to still take on the form of Ansem seeker of Darkness nominee and is had similar goals but when about them differently with disdain Roxas to consciously understand or gain any semblance of individuality from Sora and nominate treated Roxas more like a person and wanted to give him hope that everything would be okay letting him know that they will meet again even if they don't recognize each other Roxas slowly pieces together who he is and who he was back in days / this prologue and makes his way to the basement of the mansion to find Sora standing in his way was his old best friend from the organization axel although Roxas this time does understand who axel really is it's too late axel has been given orders from the organization to destroy Roxas and it leads to a battle axel loses the fight hoping to meet again with Roxas and flees the scene now Roxas presses on to find pods with sleeping Donald and Goofy and a sleeping Sora confronted by diz in front of Sora's pod Roxas asserts his own individuality one last time though it falls on deaf ears disses plan has come to fruition and Roxas merges back with Sora in order to wake him up in a bittersweet scene you thought our story was over oh no no no we're just beginning enter Sora our hero from the previous journey wakes up with Donald and Goofy waiting for him the party only remembers the events from Kingdom Hearts 1 with no recollection of anything from castle oblivion or nominate despite seeing thanked nominee in Jiminy's journal the three are ready to set off on the next adventure with the goal to find Riku and the King who were behind the door at the end of Kingdom Hearts they meet Haner in the gang and Sora feels a strange familiarity with them and the town despite meeting them and being here for the first time at the station the party is saved by king Mickey himself from a wave of Dusk's who all tells them to take the train and gives them a pouch of money to use this reassurance was enough to give the party the morale to find her Riku as well the Train took our heroes to the mysterious tower where they briefly learned that Pete is sending in heartless to pleased Maleficent not knowing that she has been defeated in Kingdom Hearts 1 at the top of the tower master yen sid is introduced as a character who trained the king and will guide our heroes on their journey yen sid explains that when a strong-willed being becomes a heartless

Sora's help in clearing them out after a little spring cleaning Sora has his first run-in with the organization the first of many they taught him now and will continue to do so here and there in the rest of the worlds along the way these worlds are all Disney worlds that for the most part follow the Disney movie plotline with little sprinkles of the organization here and there notably there's an original episode at Disney Castle that leads to going to a past classic Disney cartoon in order to preserve the cornerstone of light in the castle as it's being attacked by Maleficent and Pete whose aim in this game is revealed to be finding a new castle for Maleficent meanwhile back at destiny islands Kairi has been slowly remembering Sora after being one of the people that forgot him after

take her to Sora Pluto is also here because Pluto Kairi briefly escapes the Twilight town through the of a Dark Portal only to forcefully be captured by Axel and imprisoned by the organisation as bait for Sora's anger Sora Donald and Goofy eventually make it back to Twilight town to find that nobodies are causing trouble here as well Sayaka Veals himself to Sora and hints to him that axel is no longer acting in the organization's best interest while encouraging Sora to defeat as many heartless as possible painer pensando let tell Sora about Kerry's brief visit to Twilight town and let him

displayed on the computer as Ansem Ansem the wise and this other guy who was the origin of the Heartless Ansem seeker darkness and his nobody was actually Anselm's apprentice named Isaiah north he stole Anselm's name and the anthem we knew in Kingdom Hearts 1 was really just Zion Arts heartless the chaos and Hollow Bastion is getting worse so the entire restoration committee teams up to defeat

team up with the rest of the committee to defeat thousands of heartless invading the world later on they briefly confront xemnas the leader of organization xiii and Seiya North's nobody axel then shows up and reveals to Sora that defeating all of these heartless with the Keyblade has been releasing hearts to create Kingdom Hearts him giving Sora this information is betraying the organization defeating heartless this entire time has been playing right into Organization 13's hands this demoralizes Sora and he refuses to fight more heartless even when Sayaka summons more right in front of Sora here Sora is saved by an unlikely ally Maleficent and is able to escape the world back in the gummi ship the party finds that they were given a photo and some ice cream perhaps Clues on what to do next after this Sora Donald and Goofy visit many of the world's from the first round this time with slightly more emphasis on organization 13 and original nobody plots notably Zeldin and beast

world radiant garden Sora Donald and Goofy meet back up in Twilight town with King Mickey the ice cream and the photo of Roxas from back in the prologue of the game along with a duplicate of oh let's homemade money-pouch lead them to figure out that they need to use the computer to go to Roxas data Twilight town Sora concludes that these clues were given to him by Riku which Mickey is unable to confirm due to a promise he made to Riku in the data Twilight town they find a portal that leads to the realm between here they are ambushed by nobodies but surprisingly axel appears to help Sora and sacrifices himself in an all-out attack to get rid of the enemies as axel is fading away he apologizes for his actions making their way to the castle Sora is confronted by Roxas who is currently within Sora's heart a battle takes place and after Sora wins Roxas is accepting of being Sora's nobody and his being connects with Axel's for one final metaphorical ice cream as they say their bittersweet goodbyes Kyrie escapes from the prison with nominee's help and Sora is even able to get a brief glimpse of her she's with Riku who gives her a keyblade of her own to fight with King Mickey reunites with dis who reveals himself to be Ansem the wise the real answer he tried to bear the burden of dealing with organization xiii all on his own admitting that he was wrong for going about things this way and getting too wrapped up with the idea of revenge after defeating xigbar Sora meets up with Kyrie and she reveals to him that this figure who looks like Zia Nords heartless is actually Riku the destiny trio has their long-awaited reunion Soraa then defeats two more organization members on his way up to the castle luxor dance iooks and Riku reveals to Sora that he fought Roxas and that Roxas is his nobody something sora has been wondering about for this entire story Ansem the wise points his machine at the Kingdom Hearts that the organization has created attempting to encode it into data hearts proved to be too unpredictable though overloading the machine and causing it to explode Ansem the wise disappears in the explosion and it also causes Riku to return to his true form with no more organization members left standing except for the leader the group heads up to the top of the castle for the final confrontation xemnas refuses to back down from the heroes and fights back alone after a few clashes in a moment of peace Roxas and nómine have a reunion although it's through the bodies of Sora and Kyrie it's just like nómine said they may not recognize each other the next time they meet the nobodies are accepting of their fate knowing that whenever Sora and Kyrie are together they will be together too everyone is able to return home except for Sora and Riku who are ambushed by xemnas one last time this fight leads them to a realm between for the final clash where Sora and Riku unite for one final Keyblade beam to land the finishing blow after xemnas is defeated it's not quite the end and Sora and Riku are ambushed by nobodies afterwards they are led to the realm of darkness unable to find a way back home as they began to accept their fate of being trapped in this dark world a letter washes up to the shore it was the letter that Kyrie wrote to Sora from destiny islands it found its way to Sora in the realm of darkness this opens a door to light that transports Sora and Riku back home to destiny islands in the realm of light where they find not only Kyrie there waiting for them but Donald goofy and Mickey too for the first time since the worlds fell to darkness in Kingdom Hearts 1 the destiny trio is finally reunited at home after the dust settles and everyone returns to their respective worlds Kyrie approaches Sora and Riku with the letter that seems to have arrived from King he himself they opened the letter and just like that a new journey was set to begin [Music] Kingdom Hearts 3 5 8 days over to was released for the Nintendo DS in 2009 and serves as an integral to a number of games in the series that also runs alongside their story it starts at the end of Kingdom Hearts 1 alongside the entirety of Kingdom Hearts chain of Memories and ends at the beginning of Kingdom Hearts 2 the game primarily features and focuses on Roxas Sora's nobody and his time as part of organization 13 culminating to the reason why he abandoned the faction and his eventual clash and capture by Riku answering questions left open after the end of Kingdom Hearts 2 Roxas was born from the moments or released Kyra's heart from within himself in Kingdom Hearts 1 and became a heartless he awakened in Twilight town with no memories of his own and was promptly found by xemnas who led the organization 13 their Zenith offered to give to displaced Roxas a purpose branding him with his new name rank of number 13 and the title of key of destiny Roxas now made the organization 13 whole Roxas would then be introduced to the other members of the organization and even converse with xemnas at the realm of darkness six days after he had joined before Roxas will begin his training a new member will be introduced as well number 14 Shion from then on select members of the organization with trained Roxas in combat mission structure and other details slowly Roxas will come to understand that the members of the organization were nobodies beings who had lost their heart and don't truly exist and the goal of the organization was to reclaim a heart so they could be made whole again to that end they collect hearts to complete an artificial version of Kingdom Hearts Roxas proved vital to this plan as Sora's nobody he had the ability to wield a keyblade the only weapon capable of truly releasing hearts from heartless the organization defeated in order to collect hearts throughout the dates Roxas will start to form a personality all his own thanks to his own experiences and forming a friendship with fellow organization member axel after every mission they were meet at the clock tower in the world of Twilight town to eat seesaw ice cream together and watched the sunset after some time had passed Axel along with other members of the organization were assigned to a long-term mission at Castle oblivion Roxas was be left alone tea ice cream at the tower it was in this mission that Sykes number seven of the organization tasked Axl to dispatch any and all traders sent to the castle this would lead directly into the events of Kingdom Hearts chain of Memories where Axl gone Roxas was then given the responsibility of taking Shion on two missions a responsibility he was indifferent to as sheong was silent hooded and showed no signs of a personality that soon changed as she will begin to speak to Roxas and then even reveal her face which showed an uncanny likeness to another character within the series Kairi when she unsaved Roxas from a dark side it was revealed that she too could wield the Keyblade upon this further understanding Roxas invasion to share in his tradition with Axl eating ice cream atop the tower in Twilight town after this a bond quickly formed between the two soon word start circulating that all members sent to Castle oblivion had been eliminated including Axl during a mission with xigbar Roxas inquires on the nature of heartless and nobodies when they are destroyed upon their attempt to return home Roxas falls into a coma which would last several weeks this was due to Sora being put to sleep in order to repair his memories during his time Roxas started to see memories of Sora himself and Xian will bring seashells for him after missions some time later Roxas will finally wake up to find the seashells brought to him by Shion and would meet her at the tower not long after that Axl will appear to Roxas as the sole survivor of the events at Castle oblivion despite previous reports of everyone being eliminated they're overjoyed boxes by his acts of some ice cream and tells them that he's been doing their post-mission tradition where she um and that he will like for all of them to partake at once and which they eventually do and all bond together becoming best of friends however things will start to take a turn for the grim Roxas soon sees more and more of Sora's memories while nominate attempts to repair them during Sora slumber this leads to confusion on Roxas part questioning his own identity purpose and why is able to use the Keyblade his questions go unanswered within the organization leading to more of his frustration axel is pressed by psychics for answers due to his time spent where Roxas and Shion ordered to accomplish more of the icky jobs in order to serve his and Sox's own objective within the organization this leaves axel stumbling upon undesirable troops and Shion eventually encounters Riku who upon Dafina her claims that her Keyblade is a sham and worthless this leads to a massive identity crisis for Shem who eventually will come to discover what Axl had learned earlier that she is an imperfect replica of Sora created by Vexin using his leaked memories and the reason she looks like Carrie is because she is Sora strongest memory this project was ordered by xemnas as a fail-safe in case both Sora and Roxas proved inadequate for the organisation's plans this truth puts Shion at a crossroads as she becomes more and more torn between Stan where Roxas and axel or return into Sora however that would come at a massive cost as it now only would end her existence but since her entire identity was based on
