Journal Storyline

----
Axel used the last of his strength to help us escape the darkness. We then found oursevles in a town bathed in eerie moonlight. It seemed Kairi was being held in the dungeon of this town's castle.
We were on our way to the castle when a man in a black coat blocked our path. He was wielding a Keyblade and bragging about how he defeated Riku... but Sora was the only one who saw him. "Tell me. Tell me why he picked you!" he said, and after losing his battle with Sora, disappeared - looking somehow satisfied.
Organization XIII's Saix was waiting for us in the pitch-black castle, and pointed at the moon in the night sky. But that was no moon - it was Kingdom Hearts, and it must have absorbed countless hearts to grow to that size. "The Organization doesn't need you anymore," Saix scoffed and summoned masses of Heartless to do Sora in.
That's when we heard an old familiar voice: Kairi! But there was no time to celebrate, as the enemies kept coming in droves. Kairi stepped in to end the battle and rescue Sora. The one who had lent a hand to Kairi was the false Ansem: Xehanoty, apprentice to Ansem the Wise. Sora was at a loss... and then there was the fact that Organization XIII's Xigbar called him Roxas. Defeating Xigbar, however, brought Sora no closer to the truth.
Sora finally pushed through the throngs of Heartless and made his way to Kairi. Watching over the two as they embraced in joyous reunion was Xehanort's Heartless - Riku. DiZ, who had observed the battle, told the King his true identity. DiZ was the real Ansem the Wise, and his apprentice Xehanort's Nobody was Xemnas, leader of Organization XIII. We had already defeated Xehanort's Heartless in battle once before, when he went by the name "Ansem, Seeker of Darkness." After his defeat, however, he latched on to Riku's heart and began drawing him into the darkness. Though Riku didn't give in to the darkness, he needed to use its power. "Riku chose that form so he could harness the power of darkness." Everyone agreed with Sora: "You're still Riku, no matter what!" If the battle was what was keeping the power of darkness around, it was time to finish that fight once and for all.
After taking on Luxord and Saix, we learned the truth about Roxas. "Roxas...is your Nobody, Sora." Roxas had been taken in by Xemnas and made a member of Organization XIII, but, wanting to meet Sora, had seemingly abandoned the shady group. "I wish I could've met him, too," muttered Sora; Riku pointed to Sora's heart, indicating that Roxas was within. Meanwhile, the King and Ansem the Wise were using a device to try to stop Kingdom Hearts, but it began to malfunction. It seemed no one could contain the power of hearts within the massive Kingdom Hearts... Once Ansem realized the truth about the human heart, he decided to listen to what his own heart was telling him. He accepted his fate at the hands of the device, which had run amok and was going to explode. The explosion scattered the hearts that had ammased within Kingdom Hearts, raining them down on us all. When the "heartshower" had lifted, Riku had regained his true form.
Maleficent and Pete opened the path to the final battle. They, too, had chosen to do what their hearts commanded, and no one could interfere with their resolve. We joined together to battle Xemnas. When we cornered him, he extracted the power of Kingdom Hearts and vanished. The world would be in great danger if we just let him escape! A door appeared in a brilliant flash of light, just waiting for us. "The worlds opened this path for us. Looks like they're dependin' on us to make sure they stay safe." With strong hearts, we went on to fight our final battle, our dear friends by our side.
