The stories connecting to KINGDOM HEARTS III “Chapter of Darkness”
At what point did you understand who, and for what reason you were fighting?
As a Keyblade Master, Xehanort had a gift like few others.
Ansem. Or...Xehanort.
You used to be a Keyblade wielder.
But darkness stole your heart, and the Keyblade with it.
Master Xehanort was spurred on by his curiosity surrounding the ancient tale of a battle between Dark and Light, the “Keyblade War”.
They say ruin brings about creation. So what, then, would another Keyblade War bring?
I must have these answers.
The χ-blade needs to be forged, and with it, the door to the Keyblade War unlocked!
But his ambitions were halted twice.
First, when he extracted from Ventus a dark entity.
and split him into a being of pure light, Ventus and a being of pure darkness, Vanitas.
By having them clash he attempted to create the χ-blade.
Empty creature from Ventus riven...
To you, the name Vanitas shall be given.
Join with me right here and now.
Become the χ-blade.
The only way the χ-blade can be forged is if you and me fight.
Well guess what? I'm not fighting.
Three pupils trained by Master Eraqus - Master Xehanort’s former fellow apprentice - stood against him
I may have to fight Vanitas after all.
If I do, guys...
I want you to--
The three of us can never be torn apart, all right?
I'll always find a way.
and his ambition to create the χ-blade was crushed by their valiant efforts and the bonds of their friendship.
I've got a better idea. How 'bout I destroy you both?
The χ-blade is made of your heart, too, idiot.
If you destroy it, your heart will vanish forever.
Whatever it takes.
Anything to save Terra and Aqua.
However, the three Keyblade Wielders’ destinies were also left in ruins.
The destruction of the fragmented χ-blade sent Ventus into a deep sleep.
In order to save her friend, Aqua fell alone into the Realm of Darkness.
The location of Terra's heart became a mystery, and later he was discovered calling himself “Xehanort”.
Xeha...nort.
The second time, Xehanort tried to create the χ-blade by having seven pure lights and thirteen darknesses clash.
He split his body from his heart---
his heart took on the name Ansem, and used Riku and Maleficent to gather the seven princesses of pure light.
At the same time, his body, calling itself Xemnas, attempted to gather 13 darknesses under the name Organization XIII.
Both of these endeavors were stopped by Sora, or so it seemed.
Light... But... Why...
Thirteen...Xehanorts?
What is...
The real Organization XIII.
And now for a third time, Master Xehanort himself has spoken plain and clear.
Master Xehanort!
We were right about you!
All of this was decided.
My twelve selves would welcome me here on this day, when I would return a complete person.
It is the future which lies beyond my sight.
Let us finish this at the fated place, once your lights and my darknesses have joined together!
Thirteen darknesses and seven lights. What sort of end awaits us, I wonder---
