STORY
Home > Story

In the following sections I will fill you in on enough backstory to know what is going on, but you really should still play the previous games to get the full story and experience because a summary, which is what this is, just can't go into how deep the story actually is. And by the way, if you didn't know, read the Kingdom Hearts section first, then the Chain of Memories - Sora, then the Chain of Memories - Riku.

Have fun. XD

Note: I haven't put it the complete story, and some important plot points have been left out - I just said what happened and when, it would be much better to play the games to get your backstory.

Ordered By:


Kingdom Hearts...

Sora, Riku, and Kairi lived on Destiny Islands. They all dreamed of seeing other worlds, and felt isolated on their tiny islands. Sora has been having weird visions of a door and other mysterious things that he doesn't get at the time. Sora and his friends built a raft to leave, but the process was disrupted…one night a huge monster known as a heartless, let in by Riku who had opened the door to darkness [from Sora's visions], came to the island and destroyed it…sending Sora and Riku different places as they escaped before it was destroyed…but it is was not known where Kairi or any of the other residents of Destiny Islands are…
Sora begins a journey across worlds to find Riku and Kairi, and on the way he is entangled in a great quest (the one the thoughts and dreams were about) having a great deal to do with the keyblade that he was chosen to recieve. He meets up with Riku very soon, but he is acting very strange. Sora invites Riku along with Donald and Goofy, the friends he met in Traverse Town, to find not only Kairi but Mickey, the king. Riku just disappears. Later Sora finds out that Riku has turned to the side of the heartless and is under Maleficent’s control, and she had convinced Riku that Sora has simply forgotten him while travelling with Donald and Goofy. Long story short with some plot points left out, he travels to Hollow Bastion to find Kairi and end this business. What he finds there is not only Riku and Maleficent, but the seven princesses of heart that are needed to open the final keyhole. After battling Riku, who is now possessed by Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness, Sora finds that Kairi’s heart was inside him and he uses the dark keyblade of Riku’s to unlock his own heart and free Kairi, who is the last Princess of Heart and her heart joins with the others to open the keyhole. Sora seals the keyhole to Hollow Bastion and they are off again, to the End of the World...where they will find Ansem.
Sora eventually finds a sort of artificial version of Destiny Islands through the door to darkness from his visions, where he finds Ansem. Ansem tries to convince Sora that darkness will prevail in the end and some other stuff, and shows him the Endless Abyss and the door to Kingdom Hearts - the heart of the darkness. After a long series of battles, Sora conquers. Sora, along with Mickey, shut the door to Kingdom Hearts, for Ansem had opened it. Sora is separated from Kairi and she is sent back to Destiny Islands once it is restored to await him. The next time we see Sora, Donald, and Goofy, they are on a long empty road chasing Pluto, who has a letter from King Mickey.

Chain of Memories - Sora...

Sora and company chase the dog for what seems like forever until he comes to a crossroads. He there meets an unknown person in a black hooded cloak. He has a short conversation with this mysterious guy, who says "Ahead lies something you seek, but to find it you must lose something dear" and ends up walking down to a place known as Castle Oblivion. Here Sora begins to lose his memories piece by piece as they are replaced by others while he progresses up the floors searching for Riku and King Mickey because “somehow he knows they are there”. In truth this is only the Organization that inhabit the castle having Namine, a girl that will definitely remind you of Kairi, mess with Sora’s thoughts and feelings. She is the one that made Castle Oblivion appear before him.
Sora proceeds floor after floor and still losing more memories. He finds his way to the top after finding the truth about Namine, who had went so far on Marluxia’s orders as to disrupt Sora’s memories that she now had replaced Kairi with Namine in every aspect of his mind. Sora defeats here Larxene, Axel, and Marluxia, freeing Namine’s hold on his mind. Namine puts him in a sort of “hibernation” that will make him forget everything that happened in the castle, but gain his original memories back. Sora and Namine (he knows who she is now - Kairi's shell) make a promise to meet again someday.

Chain of Memories - Riku...

Riku finds himself well, sleeping, a world that is neither light nor darkness. He hears a strange voice, a voice that soon becomes Ansem’s voice. Ansem talks to Riku telling him many things…even to let him come back into his heart. Riku refuses and wakes. He is on the same road as Sora was on. He spots Castle Oblivion as well, because of his connection with Sora. He goes in, but starts working towards the ground floor from the bottom basement, him too working floor after floor defeating the figures of darkness from his memories to get to what he is searching for.
Vexen, an Organization member, makes a fake Riku that challenges not only Riku, but Sora as well, all over Namine. Because of this, Sora believes Riku to be turned back to darkness nearly the whole game. Riku progresses downward in the castle, and defeats, like Sora, many of the Organization members. Long story short, he eventually finds himself face to face with Ansem, and conquers.
He meets Namine, and sees Sora in his “hibernation”. The next we see of Riku, he is walking with King Mickey down that same long road in a long black hooded cloaks talking to an Organization member, DiZ, who has helped Riku and was actually the voice that he heard at the beginning of the game, not Ansem.

Kingdom Hearts 2...

The game starts with a beautiful FMV cutscene that recaps the events of Kingdom Hearts and Chain of Memories. After this, the screen switches to Twilight Town and you are then introduced to Roxas, the character you will be playing as for the next 4-5 hours. What starts as a regular summer vacation for the 4 Twilight town kids [Roxas, Hayner, Pence, and Olette] little by little becomes more and more awkward because of strange visitors to the town [the Nobodies] and strange hooded characters, that for some reason only Roxas can see. Roxas solves much of this mystery, but I won't go any further cause I'd hate to ruin the game for you.

Secret Ansem Reports...


more details
Be careful as you read this section, as if you haven't completed KH2, this section contains major SPOILERS. I am mostly adding them as a kind of quick reference for people that have beaten the game, as they contain a lot of important plot points that need to be checked while making theories.
