These aren't | |small spoilers but MAJOR spoilers about the storyline of the games mentioned| |above. If you are trying not to learn about the games before you get to that| |point then please remember it contains spoilers. I will not be held | |responsible for any bits that spoil your game. You have been warned. | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o O============================================================================O |General Game Info [GG20]| O============================================================================O o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Kingdom Hearts Storyline | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |It all begins with a boy named Sora. He leads a carefree life with his | |friends Kairi and Riku on the beautiful Destiny Islands. One night, just as | |he was getting ready for bed, a mysterious storm rolls in, shrouding | |everything in darkness. In the chaos that follows, Sora finds the legendary | |Keyblade, but is powerless to prevent the storm from scattering everything | |he knows and loves far and wide. | | | |After a rough ride, the storm deposits him in a strange place called | |Traverse Town. Fortunately for him, his fall is broken by Donald and Goofy. | |Not ones to hold a grudge, the three become friends in no time and realise | |that the tumultuous events on Destiny Islands are connected to some unusual | |goings-on in Traverse Town and even the disappearance of the King of Disney | |Castle himself. The whole world is being swallowed by the Darkness, it | |seems, and it's about time someone did something about it! Now Donald and | |Goofy are reminded of the King's final instructions to them, that they must | |find the one who holds the "Key". Surely it can't be a coincidence that the | |very boy who fell from the sky had been chosen to bear the Keyblade? And so | |their Quest begins. | | | |What a quest it turns out to be. The trio journey through countless strange | |and exotic worlds, meeting ever stranger and more exotic folk along the way,| |and after healthy dose of battling, puzzling and honest-to-goodness | |adventuring, they find the King and Riku. Thus reunited, they form a plan to| |save the world. Sora must use the Keyblade to close the door to the | |Darkness. Simple, right? Well no, actually. When the time comes, Sora finds | |that closing the door to the Darkness will mean sealing the King and Riku on| |the other side! Sora must choose between saving the world and saving his | |friends. | | | |Knowing what he must do, Sora puts his shoulder to the door, and places his | |faith in the King's last words - that there will always be a door to the | |light. | | | |As one adventure ends, another begins... | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories Storyline | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |A mysterious road streches out before our three friends; in every other | |direction, endless fields all the way to the horizon. After walking for what| |seems like days, they cme to a crossroads. | | | |Pondering which way to go, Sora gazes up at the night sky and his thoughts | |turn to his long lost friends, the King, Riku and Kairi... Suddenly, a man | |in a black coat appears and says, "Ahead lies something you need, but to | |claim it, you must lose something dear". Before Sora can ask him what he | |means, the stranger vanishes, and when the trio look around, only one path | |remains for them to follow - a path leading to a castle. | | | |Hoping to find their friends, Sora, Donald, and Goofy decide to explore this| |mysterious place, but like all such mysterious places, Castle Oblivion will | |not reveal its secrets lightly. And with every step they take, they do | |indeed lose something - their memories. | | | |Soon, they meet a mysterious girl called Namine. Somehow she's the key to | |all of this. Perhaps she could help them... If only they could remember what| |it was they were looking for! Little do they know that far off in anohter | |part of the castle, Riku and the King are also exploring. What are they | |doing there and do they know that Sora and his friends are close by? | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Kingdom Hearts II Storyline | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |It's a year later [from the events of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories] and| |our three friends find themselves stuck between night and day in a place | |called Twilight Town. The gang's all here once more to find their friends. | |There's also a new kid in town. He's called Roxas and his part in all this | |will become clear as the story unfolds. | | | |Once more Sora and friends must make their way across strange worlds. Some | |are familiar and some are not, but they're all definitely dangerous. Their | |journey takes them into the exciting realms of Beauty and the Beast, The | |Lion King, Mulan and Pirates of the Caribbean. One minute they're being | |thrust into the future world of Tron, the next, they go back to the past to | |explore the world of Steamboat Willie. | | | |Then there are all the new characters. There are friends there are foes, and| |there are others who it's difficult to be sure about like Jack Sparrow. But | |they're going to need all the help they can get as they battle against a | |huge army of Heartless monsters and the greatest Disney villains, including | |the original bad boy - Pete. On their side they've got Aladdin, Hercules and| |Chicken Little - what he lacks in height he makes up for in spirit. | | | |The battles are going to be bigger than ever. Sora, Goofy and Donald are all| |prepared and this time they can combine their strength through Sora to | |improve his skill with the Key blades and his magical power.

Flowers bloom with a | |fragrant aroma, raised by the pure water which brings forth life. The people| |pass their days with smiling faces full of hope. | | | |But wherever there is light, doubtless there is darkness lurking. As I have | |written in my recent report, I must decipher the mystery behind "the | |darkness in human hearts" to protect this paradise. | | | |Firstly, I will carry out experiments to seek out the depths of the human | |heart. One of my six disciples, Xehanort, has volunteered himself as a test | |subject. Since I found him collapsed in the street all those years ago and | |took him in, he has become a youth who serves me well. | | | |At that time, he had lost his memories entirely, but afterwards he began to | |exhibit a remarkable inquisitive mind. He absorbed my teachings incredibly | |quickly, and amassed a deep knowledge. He is somewhat undeveloped in | |maturity, but this problem is due to his youth. | | | |If I can seek Xehanort's heart through psychological experiments, I may also| |be able to unlock his sealed-off past. It seems that another of my | |disciples, Even, also has a strong interest in Xehanort's memories. | | | |But I wonder whether it is truly good that is in him. Certainly, Xehanort | |possesses great talent... | | | |Maybe too great, perhaps it is even superhuman. | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Secret Ansem Report 02 [SAR02] | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |I have made a grave error. | | | |The research plans I made about the "darkness in the heart", beginning with | |meager psychological experiments, have grown immensely. Spurred on by my | |youngest disciple Ienzo, I have prepared a grand-scale research laboratory | |below the castle. | | | |Unbeknownst to me, my six disciples gathered a great amount of test subjects| |and began dangerous experiments into the darkness of the heart. | | | |As soon as I found out about this, I gathered my disciples and ordered a | |stop to the research, and to discard the results thus far. | | | |What has happened to the hearts of the six who were once my loyal disciples?| |While pursuing the mystery of the darkness in the heart, did they themselves| |lose their way in the darkness? And the most foolish thing is that it was I | |who originally began these experiments. Whatever the reason, the depths of | |the human heart should not be meddled in by others. I despaired in my own | |error. | | | |It was a visitor from another world who cured my grief-stricken heart. A | |tiny king named "Mickey" carried the legendary key in his hand. Yes, it was | |the "Keyblade" which was said to have brought chaos and prosperity to the | |world a long time ago. He had a great amount of interesting knowledge, and | |we had enjoyable lengthy discussions, growing closer. | | | |On his advice, I decided to re-examine the data from the underground | |laboratory. | | | |And I discovered the "Ansem Reports". | | | |Though they carried my name, the only one that I had written was Number 0. | |Apparently he went on to pen numbers 1 through 8 himself. | | | |Yes, the first subject in my foolish experiments. | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Secret Ansem Report 03 [SAR03] | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |The "chaos" has spread to many worlds, not just this one. | | | |My apprentice Xehanort has, in the "Ansem Reports" which he wrote under my | |name, hypothesized about the process of the terrible experiments that he | |carried out and the "door" that appeared in the underground darkness. | | | |Every living being has a heart, and in the depths of every heart there is | |darkness. The same is true for "worlds". If the world is a being, the heart| |it holds must be tremendous. And in its depths, an immense darkness. | | | |Is Xehanort trying to understand the "door" to make contact with the | |darkness in the worlds? No, not just Xehanort. It seems that the other | |five disciples, have too become taken by the darkness, believeing it to be | |for the sake of research. Even, Ienzo, Braig, Dilan, and Elaeus...they have | |ceased to be human. | | | |And I have lost everything, exiled to a nonexistent world. | | | |Having exiled me, what could Xehanort be aiming for? The people's smiles to | |be gone? | | | |As the light of hope has faded, I will now walk along with the darkness. In | |the world of nothingness to which I have been exiled. | | | |Darkness in the midst of nothing.. | | | |"Darkness in Zero" | | | |Thus, I shall be known as "DiZ" | | | |I will cast aside the stolen name "Ansem"...and go forth in search of | |revenge. | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Secret Ansem Report 04 [SAR04] | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |The days spent in that beautiful paradise already seem so far as to be a | |vision. | | | |How much time has passed in this world of nothingness to which I have been | |exiled? In this world of nothingness where all existence has gone, I have | |barely managed to keep myself intact through rage and hatred. | | | |My heart is filled with hatred towards the disciples who were taken by the | |darkness, and rage at my own foolish self who was betrayed by them. Is this | |what it is like to be taken by the darkness? | | | |I will not continue to pass this time in vain. What are Xehanort and the | |others aiming for? I must work out the mystery of the "Ansem Reports" that | |man wrote, stop them and defeat them. That is my mission...given to me by | |the world, the only way. | | | |The key is those without a heart, the "Heartless". Embodiments of the | |darkness in the heart. Accursed shadows with no hearts who steal the hearts | |of all living things and multiply. Where did they come from, and where are | |they going? | | | |The three elements that compose life...the heart, the soul, the body. When | |life loses the heart, what happens to the leftover soul and body? | | | |When the soul leaves the body, which it lives in as a vessel, life dies. But| |if the heart is removed, what happens? | | | |Even if the heart is separated from the body, life is not destroyed. The | |heart simply disappears into the darkness. | | | |I have little time. If I stay in this world indefinitely, will I both have | |a body and know the answer? | | | |My heart is already being captured by the darkness. | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Secret Ansem Report 05 [SAR05] | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |In this world where all existence is disassembled, I barely keep myself | |intact through thinking and writing alone. | | | |Even with time, this world has no meaning. Here, eternity and an instant are| |the same. | | | |I must hurry. They have undoubtedly already begun their activity. | | | |The key to unravelling the mystery is the "Heartless". The six betrayers | |conducted the research which brought forth these accursed shadows. | | | |They didn't just create "pure-blood" Heartless from the human heart, they | |used them to artificially synthesize Heartless. It seems that they have | |given these artificial Heartless a mark and called them "Emblems". | | | |But whether pure-blood Heartless or Emblem, Heartless without a heart move | |following an instinctve desire. They simply seek out hearts and gather. | |With a human-like opponent, all they do is they easily remove the heart and | |take it into themselves, creating more companions. They do not listen to | |the orders of humans. | | | |But, what about the orders of stronger Heartless? | | | |If, for example, that man discarded his soul and body to become a | |Heartless, could he not lead the weaker Heartless? | | | |Furthermore, does he intend to take advantage of the Heartless' instinct? | |If the Heartless, who seek out hearts, are aiming for a bigger, stronger | |heart, the final objective is clear. In this world, the greatest heart | |is... "the heart of the world". | | | |Everything is just a hypothesis, but that he is using the Heartless to | |find the path to the heart of the world is certain. | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Secret Ansem Report 06 [SAR06] | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |In the world of nothingness, my choice to walk along with the darkness was | |not mistaken. | | | |I did not refuse the darkness, nor did I fear it, and when I looked straight| |ahead with a silent heart, I acquired a new power. | | | |A superhuman power...the power of darkness. Xehanort and the others were | |captivated by this power, and soon captured by it. Naturally, I do not plan | |to have my heart taken and be eaten up by the darkness as they were. | | | |Through this new power, I discovered the "Corridors of Darkness", which | |connects the world of nothingness to the physical world. Going back and | |forth freely is still difficult, but my time of exile is at an end. | | | |To prevent Xehanort and the others from recognizing me, I have taken a new | |form upon my return to the world of light. | | | |As I thought, Xehanort has become a Heartless. Under my name he controls the| |Heartless, and has taken many worlds' hearts. | | | |Xehanort wishes to use the center of the worlds' hearts he has collected, | |namely "Kingdom Hearts", in an attempt to call forth a great darkness and | |return everything to darkness. | | | |Furthermore, the other five disciples have shed their bodies. Have they | |become Heartless, like Xehanort? Or did Xehanort use them and then destroy | |them? | | | |While seeking the truth, I found a strange "existence". | | | |When life loses the heart, the soul and body are left behind. When a | |Heartless is created, the discarded soul and body depart from the world of | |light and are reborn into a new existence in a completely different world. | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Secret Ansem Report 07 [SAR07] | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |It is convenient for dark existences and those without a heart, but for | |others the "Corridors of Darkness" is unsafe for frequent use. My heart will| |be taken by the darkness. | | | |While seeking a place to continue my investigation and planning while hidden| |from them, I have reached Twilight Town. A quiet town, forgotten in the | |space between light and dark. I decided to move under an abandoned mansion | |on the other side of the forest. | | | |As a result of continuing my investigation in secret, I have made one | |discovery after another. | | | |When beings without hearts, "Heartless", are born, the remaining soul and | |body are born in this world as a different existence. They have different | |objectives to the Heartless, and I do not know what "it" is that they aim | |for, but as I had thought, they are existences which bring chaos to the | |world. | | | |While the followers of the king, my visitor from a long time ago, together | |with the Keyblade master, fight the Heartless, who threaten the world with | |darkness, a new threat is emerging in the worlds. | | | |Another threat...they have named theselves with a certain irony. | | | |They have named themselves the non-existent ones, "Nobodies". | | | |Most Nobodies have lost their human forms, like the Heartless. But the | |Nobodies born from those with strong hearts only change a little on the | |outside, keeping human form. | | | |It seems that the ones who betrayed me have become Nobodies keeping their | |human forms, gathered allies, and are proceeding with new plans. | | | |With the betrayers at the center, the "Thirteenth Order" has been created | |from 13 Nobodies, and separated into two groups, continuing with some kind | |of research. | | | |I have decided to go to where at least 6 of them are assembled, to find out | |the objectives of the Order. To "Castle Oblivion", towering at the end of | |the World In-Between. | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Secret Ansem Report 08 [SAR08] | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |It appears that I have been too caught up in the movements of Xehanort and | |the others, and events relating to them. | | | |Fighting between friends...the fight to protect the world of light from the | |Heartless threat is over. Xehanort's Heartless, the being calling himself | |the Seeker of Darkness, Ansem, has been destroyed. | | | |The "Hero" who holds a different Keyblade to the King has passed through | |many worlds, closed the doors' "Keyholes" and defeated the Heartless. | | | |On the other hand, having plunged into the world of darkness, the King | |worked together with the Keyblade Master to close the door between the | |worlds of light and darkness, Kingdom Hearts, removing the threat of the | |great darkness. | | | |But many Heartless are swarming the worlds, and Organization XIII and the | |Nobodies are working in secret. The worlds are still in great danger. | | | |I must find some means to fight the worlds' enemies. That is my atonement...| |and my revenge. | | | |For that reason, I have infiltrated "Castle Oblivion". From the 13th floor | |to the lower 12th floor, the castle's "white rooms" take and freely change | |around visitors' memories. Some of those from Organization XIII are | |conducting experiments on memories in this castle. | | | |It appears that the test subject of this experiment, a girl called "Namine",| |possesses an extremely unique power. What can emerge from this power of | |hers? | | | |I have been continuing my investigations in secret without disturbing | |Organization XIII. But today, a further visitor had appeared. | | | |"Sora", the Keyblade Master who defeated Ansem, and his companions. And | |there is the scent of darkness in the lower depths of the castle. | | | |It seems that the actors in this little drama are gathering. | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Secret Ansem Report 09 [SAR09] | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |This truly is the Keyblade Master. Sora has unravelled the Organization's | |conspiracy and rescued Namine. | | | |Namine is a witch who controls others' memories. It appears that she gained | |this ability through being born by a special process. | | | |Namine is a girl, but was a princess. A long time ago, when I governed the | |"Radiant Garden", one of the denizens was "Kairi", one of the seven | |princesses who support the world of light. There was no Heartless born from | |Kairi, who carries no darkness in her heart, and her body which should have | |disappeared remained in the world of light. | | | |That is to say, in the case of the Nobody called Namine, both a Heartless as| |evidence of a lost heart, and a body to act as the intermediary for the | |creation of a Nobody are missing. She is an extremely unstable existence, | |and therefore has no memories of Kairi. Another cause is that Kairi's heart,| |having been separated from her body, did not return to the darkness, but | |instead found another vessel...concealed behind Sora's heart. | | | |That is to say, Namine is an offshoot of Kairi, who directly interfered with| |Sora's heart. Because of that, she was be able to manipulate the memories of| |Sora and those whose hearts are connected to his. | | | |She is truly a "non-existent one". Without even becoming a Nobody, she has | |no place to go, and is the most fleeting of shadows. | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Secret Ansem Report 10 [SAR10] | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Sora, who lost his memories in Castle Oblivion, has gone into a deep sleep | |to recover them. However, I believe it will require a considerable amount of| |time to recover completely the memories from his birth to the present time. | | | |But Castle Oblivion is a place that was controlled by Organization XIII. I | |must care for Sora in a safer place. I have decided to persuade Namine to | |help, and take the sleeping Sora to Twilight Town to protect him. | | | |Namine. As I wrote before, she is an extremely unique existence. Born | |through the same process as a Nobody, but missing certain elements that | |characterise a Nobody. | | | |That she continues to draw pictures is possibly compensating for what she | |lacks...from other people's, mainly Sora's, memories. | | | |I have formed a hypothesis. I believe that Namine was born as a unique | |Nobody when Sora turned the Keyblade on his own body and Sora and Kairi's | |"hearts" departed his body at the same time. Namine was born as Kairi's | |Nobody. But to become a Nobody, Sora's body and soul were used as an | |intermediary... | | | |When a person loses their heart, a Heartless with no sense of self is born, | |and the leftover body and soul are used as an intermediary to give birth to | |a Nobody. | | | |But what about those who chose to release their heart? Sora and Xehanort, | |even though they became Heartless, kept their sense of self. | | | |And in the case of Kairi and Namine. The exception that Kairi's heart had | |no darkness, and the exception that Kairi's heart used Sora as a vessel | |when she lost it...The cause may be due to all of these impossible | |exceptions piling up. | | | |While Sora sleeps, I will do what I must. A new ally has appeared, named | |Riku. | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Secret Ansem Report 11 [SAR11] | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |I have reunited with a friend from Castle Oblivion, but I could not let him | |know of my origins. If he were to discover the circumstances, that I was | |obsessed with revenge, he would attempt to stop me. I would like to talk | |animatedly with him like before, but...unfortunately, that is already a wish| |that will not be fulfilled. | | | |My friend has been fighting in the world of darkness for all this time. I | |believe that he most likely entered the world of darkness through "Traverse | |Town". | | | |As with Castle Oblivion, that town is a world between light and darkness. | |A world created by the gathered fragments of worlds which had lost their | |hearts to the Heartless. A place where the people could escape to, having | |barely escaped the destruction of their own worlds. | | | |Worlds in-between are truly unstable, where the Corridors of Darkness | |frequently open up. When a world disappears, drifters seem to pass through | |the Corridors from their lost worlds. Doubtlessly, Sora passed through | |these same corridors when he first arrived at Traverse Town. | | | |It seems that my friend who fought in the world of darkness followed a | |Corridor constructed by Organization XIII, and appeared in Castle Oblivion. | | | |The new ally, Riku, also managed to return through the Corridors of | |Darkness. He promised his help unconditionally, for the sake of his closest | |friend Sora. | | | |The truth is that Sora's memory restoration is taking too long. Therefore, | |I have entrusted Riku with the task of retreiving the other Sora...Sora's | |Nobody. | | | |Sora is essential to the completion of my objective. I require the | |keyblade-weilding hero to fly through the realm of light and defeat | |Organization XIII. | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Secret Ansem Report 12 [SAR12] | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |With the exception of Namine, Nobodies remember their time as humans. But | |Sora's Nobody, "Roxas", has lost the memories of when he was Sora. | | | |The reason for this may be that Sora spent little time as a Heartless while | |Roxas was left behind as a Nobody, and returned to becoming a human with a | |heart. | | | |Somehow, Roxas is similar to Namine. While being Kairi's Nobody, Namine was | |born using Sora's body and soul as an intermediary. And Roxas was Sora's | |Nobody, left behind when Sora returned to being a human through not his own | |heart, but using Kairi's heart as an intermediary. | | | |I believe that Sora's memory restoration is delayed due to having lost half | |of himself, Roxas. I must turn him into data, and return him to Sora. | | | |As a member of Organization XIII, capturing Roxas presented an extreme | |difficulty. Riku, having lost to Roxas once, confronted him again having | |shed his form and wielding the power of darkness. He barely managed to | |bring him back. | | | |But Organization XIII are in pursuit. Here in Twilight Town is where Roxas | |was born as a Nobody. This is where Roxas met the Organization XIII and | |became a member. They will discover this place in time. | | | |For the moment, I have converted all of Twilight Town into data, and formed | |a "copy of the world" in Sora's memories. I will send Roxas there, and | |devise a restoration of Sora's memories as the days pass. | | | |There is little time. The schemes of my apprentices must be making progress | |as well. | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Secret Ansem Report 13 [SAR13] | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |Sora will awaken tomorrow. The end of my long-awaited revenge will begin. | | | |Xehanort, who took everything away from me. Deatroyed as a Heartless, his | |ambitions are once again aimed at the "great heart", Kingdom Hearts. | | | |His Heartless's ambition was to collect the hearts of the worlds and bring | |them together to Kingdom Hearts, to call forth a great darkness. But his | |Nobody is now collecting human hearts to absorb into Kingdom Hearts. | | | |My foolish disciple. | | | |One mystery remains. How did Xehanort open the door that appeared below my | |castle...? | | | |No...all theories are pointless now, when all things are coming to an end. | | | |Roxas, Ansem, Namine. You should not have existed in theory, and yet you | |are truly there. Special exceptions. | | | |The theories that I and Organization XIII have put together have been | |exceeded by the owners of strong hearts. | | | |Sora, Kairi, Riku. | | | |Yes, Riku. There was weakness in his heart that was exploited by the | |darkness, but he defeated it with the hope that he discovered at the | |extremities of his suffering, and even retained the darkness of the heart | |of his enemy as his own power. I wish from the bottom of my heart that | |when all of this ends, he will return to that island with Sora. | | | |If I can, I would also like to return to the "Radiant Garden", and once | |more see the beautiful water and flowers, and the smiling faces | |overflowing with hope. | | | |King, my friend. I trust that you will see these true records that I have | |written. | | | |I wanted to chat with you again. Please forgive me. | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o O============================================================================O Credits [CR08] O============================================================================O o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o |I would like to thank Neoseeker for giving me an opportunity to waste so | |much of my time writing FAQ's and talking on the message board. | | | |One more time, if you need/want to contact me for any reason, my email | |address is: KrunalSheth87[at]Tiscali[dot]co[dot]uk. | | | |Please feel free to tell me how much you loved my FAQ.
