Site History
Upon receiving Mickey's letter at the end of KH2, Sora and Riku were called upon to go defend the world of an uprising evil. Master Xehanort, a keyblader turned evil around the earliest days of King Mickey becoming a keyblader, sought to destroy the worlds with his new apprentice Vanitas by recruiting an army for a Keyblade War. During the encounter with Master Xehanort and Vanitas, Sora and Riku were defeated; the former turning into a small ball of light due to losing all hope and the latter doomed to be trapped inside the Realm of Darkness forever. Meanwhile, Kairi was called to Radiant Garden where she found out she was the heir to the throne, but could not rightfully ascend to become queen until her eighteenth birthday. LM's first plot began three years after the letter was received. King Mickey recruited three apprentices of his own, a young man from Radiant Garden named Terra, a blue-haired girl from Destiny Islands called Kumika, and Roxas, who had split from Sora once he turned into a small floating light. He called them "Chasers" as they were to chase down Master Xehanort or the whereabouts of Sora and Riku. The Chasers went to Princess Kairi, her coronation fast approaching, to recruit her for their mission. Soon joined by many others, they set off to the Keyblade Mountains. There they rescued Sora, and he was able to have his body restored to him through the means of Kairi's light from her being a Princess of Heart. The heroes also managed to rescue the being of Kingdom Hearts, Herutsu, as Master Xehanort had sought to gain its power. Despite this, Terra was killed by Master Xehanort and the protagonists barely escaped with their lives, tailed by Vanitas as their gummi ship took off. After the group left, though, Master Xehanort revived Terra under the condition that he would work for him. The tired group of heroes stopped in Port Royal which was on the way back to Radiant Garden. It was there that Herutsu, as thanks, rescued Riku from the Realm of Darkness and shot him out of the sky into the ocean of Port Royal, where he was reunited with his friends. Shortly after, they all returned to Radiant Garden for Kairi's coronation. Disaster struck, though, as right before the crown was placed on Kairi's head, it was announced that Kumika was her sister and the eldest heir to Radiant Garden, and until recently was thought to be lost or dead. Despite the original uproar, Kairi gladly handed the crown to Kumika, who soon began preparations for the upcoming Keyblade War that Master Xehanort was sure to instigate.
Right before Kumika's coronation, however, the heroes decided to check out goings on in Wonderland, as there were reports of Darkness radiating from the world. Upon arrival, it was seen that Wonderland had been obliterated, and a rip in Deep Space existed in its place. The gummi ship the group had been traveling in got sucked inside, and landed them seven years in the future in Radiant Garden. The world was desolate and bleak- the side of the Light had been losing the war. Many of the strongest fighters or important figures were dead. This strengthened the group from the present's resolve to win; however, something happened that would affect events to come: Kadaj, who was traveling with the group in hopes of finding Mother, was killed by the future-Riku by orders of the future-Sora, because he had betrayed them all in doing what it took to find "Mother". Although Kadaj died in the "future" world, he woke up back in the present, since the future-him was still alive, he could not die. He then went to look for "Mother" on his own instead of with the heroes. The heroes did manage to return to the present, where the Winter Battle commenced.
It is dubbed the Winter Battle because although it started out as a cold, rainy day, the keyblade wielder Shiro used his Limit Break with such a force that caused a blizzard to start. Despite the poor weather, the army of Light, with help from the Organization who swore a peace alliance, vanquished Vanitas, Terra, and Master Xehanort.
This now brings us to...
The Current Plot
It is three years since the Winter Battle and all has been at peace. Sora, Riku, and Kairi have returned to Destiny Island along with Roxas and Xion, while Kumika continues to reign as the ever-powerful Queen of Radiant Garden. All the worlds have been restored and anyone that had been displaced had gone home. Only recently have worlds begun to fall, and it is due to a new force driven by Maleficent. Kadaj found his brothers, Loz and Yazoo, the other Remnants. They continued their quest to find "Mother" and subsequently ran into Maleficent, who had been plotting a way to recruit villains in her newest attempt to take over Kingdom Hearts. They ask her if she is Mother, and knowing she could use them to her advantage, she says that she is. Maleficent gives them the power to conjure Heartless and sends out the three brothers to destruct the worlds and bring her the seven Princesses of Heart. The Remnants do not question their Mother's request and set off to do so. Kadaj is assigned the most heavily guarded princess, Kairi. Assuming she still lives in Radiant Garden, he goes there and meets up with Kumika. Kumika is overjoyed by her reunion with Kadaj and the reappearance of Terra, however, no one else saw them, and Kumika is ordered to take a sabbitical on Destiny Islands whilst Kairi temporarily rules Radiant Garden. Maleficent takes advantage of this situation, leaving her 'sons' to attack an unprepared Radiant Garden, whilst she destroys Destiny Islands, leaving Sora, Riku and Kumika unable to save Kairi from being part of Maleficent's evil plan in time.
