Clad in new clothes and powers, the trio ventures through various worlds, battling the Heartless and Nobodies and facing off with several members of Organization XIII. They learn of Maleficent's return and her plans to again take over the worlds using the Heartless, and regularly run into her and Pete as they try to . During a battle in Hollow Bastion, they encounter Xemnas, who they learn is the leader of Organization XIII, and is using the Heartless to get Kingdom Hearts. At the same time, they learn that Kairi has been kidnapped by Axel, who they run into in Hollow Bastion. A member of the Organization himself, Axel appears to be defecting from the Organization, as he tells them that every Heartless slain by the Keyblade releases a heart, which the Organization seeks to build Kingdom Hearts. They also learn from Mickey that {{khwiki|Xemnas}} is the Nobody of the Heartless Ansem that they had fought the year prior, and that the Heartless was an imposter of the real {{khwiki|Ansem the Wise}}, being the Heartless of the real Ansem's apprentice, {{khwiki|Terra-Xehanort|Xehanort}}. | Clad in new clothes and powers, the trio ventures through various worlds, battling the Heartless and Nobodies and facing off with several members of Organization XIII.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy, with help from Mickey, finally come across a link to the Organization's world through Twilight Town, where they find the alternate Twilight Town where Roxas had been kept by DiZ. With a tip from a hooded figure, they figure out the password to the {{khwiki|Simulated Twilight Town}} and make their way into the secret link into {{khwiki|The World That Never Was}}. On there way, however, the trio is ambushed by Nobodies, but are helped by Axel, who puts his whole existence into defeating the Nobodies, confessing as he fades away that he had kidnapped Kairi in hopes of finding Roxas, and helping them reach The World That Never Was. Once there, Sora runs into a hooded person, who battles him, revealing that it's Roxas. He disappears after that battle. | Sora, Donald, and Goofy, with help from Mickey, finally come across a link to the Organization's world through Twilight Town, where they find the alternate Twilight Town where Roxas had been kept by DiZ.

''Kingdom Hearts II'' follows the same free-roam, hack-and-slash combat gameplay style featured in the first ''Kingdom Hearts'' title. Sora is once again the main playable character, though the game features certain segments and events in the game where Roxas, Riku, and King Mickey can be played. Sora is joined by a party of Donald and Goofy, who are not controllable, but their AI can be customized in the game's menu. Depending on the world they're visiting, Donald or Goofy can be switched out with a world-specific party member. | ''Kingdom Hearts II'' follows the same free-roam, hack-and-slash combat gameplay style featured in the first ''Kingdom Hearts'' title.

The game progresses as certain tasks are completed, allowing for a linear progression from one story event to the next. Several additional quests and tasks are available that do not progress the story, but provide additional bonuses to the characters or tease upcoming events in the series. | The game progresses as certain tasks are completed, allowing for a linear progression from one story event to the next.
