Years, I’m talking probably decades, before the adventure with Sora ever took place. There was the greatest keyblade war that ever took place. Now we do not know it if it was a war between great armies or just between these four beings known as Chasers. Though with no knowledge of this war, we do know that it has been recorded and in this war these Chasers were much known as gods.
So the question is, What are these four Chasers? And who are they?
Well, it is told by many that they “manifested great power and chanelled it through these expertly crafted weapons known as Keyblades.” It is believed that the Chasers “all had to power to create, save, destroy and lock world’s hearts. Their keyblade gave them enough power to unlock the energy of a worlds physical heart and be able to move from world to world.”
Some disruption, or argument over something so dear to them broke out, and the four Chasers went there separate ways. Two of the chasers followed the riteous path of light, “bringing life to the worlds”, as they followed the paths of Light and Twilight.
But the other two, their hearts receded into darkness, and wanted nothing but power and control over all the worlds that there were. These two followed the paths of Darkness, bringing “destrution to all worlds”, with their greed for ultimate power.
Surprisingly, one of the Dark Chasers noticed his faults (though it is not known why) and decided to fight against the darkness instead of being its ally. This scenerio is similar to the story of Riku and his fight against the heartless Ansem. As much as this Chaser could do to fight the Darkness, it just wasn’t good enought to make it to the paths of Light or Twilight. So he choose the path of Dawn, which is just a step under from the path of Light.
But what of the final Chaser, the one who wanted to consume his soul in darkness and never let go of it. This Dark Chaser known as Xehanort became the supreme Dark Keyblade Master, and sought to fight all who defended the Light, even if it meant to fight the three other Chasers who he had known for a long time.
The war began, some believe that Xehanort brought upon an army so grand to fight against the ones of Light to defend his power, but others speculate that this War was just between Xehanort, and the three other Chasers of Light. Either way, Xehanort was defeated, and with that defeat, he lost something that every man wants (needs) most, his memory.
This is where the legend begins to fade, because it is not known exactly what happens next, but to some this is how it went. Xehanort was cast away without his memory, and was somehow reborn by sleep. He awoke in the world known as Radiant Garden, still extremely weak, he explored this world. As he stopped to rest and figure out where he was, but most importantly WHO he was, a man known to this new world as The Great Ansem the Wise, stubbled onto Xehanort and offered his guidance and support so the man could live. As Ansem brought Xehanort back to his home, he began to notice that the man’s memory was gone, so he offered to restore it.
Meanwhile, the other Chasers some how knew of what was going on with Xehanort and his arrival to Radiant Garden. They wanted to go to this world to defeat Xehanort at his moment of severe weakness. But they too were ill. Though they survived, after the battle, a great heaviness began to invade their souls, and they knew that it was not their battle, it was not their time to defeat the man they once knew. They knew that in years to come, their descendants would have the courage and the strength in their hearts to defeat Xehanort for the last time.
The Chaser of Twilight, knowing that he would never have any descedants, decided to give his Keyblade to the King of all the Worlds, a gentleman (or mouse) who would be known as King Mickey.
The Chaser of Light, knew his descendant was to be born and raised in the world of Destiny Islands. This boy had the pontential power in his heart to defeat Xehanort and any other great enemies that were to face him. This boy would be known as Sora.
But what of the Chaser of Dawn. He knew that his decendant was going to have a struggle with the darkness, the same as he himself did. So he was reluctant to give this boy a keyblade, but once this boy knew his wrong doings and decided to travel the Path of Dawn, then he would obtain the Keyblade “Pathway to Dawn” from this Chaser. Riku was to be the boy, and though he did have a Keyblade while allying with the Darkness, that Keyblade was not destined to be his, it was not the Keyblade given to him from the Chaser of Dawn. This Keyblade that would be known as Soul Eater, would be given to him by an enemy that would trouble Riku in the darkness, it was the darkness itself that decided to give Riku that Dark Keyblade.
Much happened as the years went by. Xehanort gained back his memory and betrayed his master Ansem the Wise by stealing his own name and began these experiments on such beings known as Heartless which lead him to the curiosity of the hearts of people and worlds. Xehanort recorded his findings, which can be read in Ansem Reports that can be found in various places. His greed for darkness formed him into a Heartless and a being known as a Nobody.
Sora, now in his teenaged years, finds himself troubled with what is to lay upon him. He obtains his keyblade, and fights the Heartless from Xehanort that rooted his soul into the one person Sora did not expect Riku. Sora defeats Ansem, but there still was a little piece of him locked away into the darkness of Riku.
Later, Riku fights against Ansem, and wins as he travels the path of Dawn. But what here, did Riku make a horrible mistake. You see, after this battle, Xehanort was reborn from his time in Riku, from his lust for the Darkness.
With both his Heartless, and now his Nobody Xemnas defeated, Xehanort now believes that it is his turn to fight this so called “Keyblade Master”, and any who wish to shead away the forms of Darkness.
After countless battles with the Darkness, King Mickey is terrified to hear that Xehanort has been reborn and wishes to take his revenge on the people who did him justice. So he sends a letter to Sora, Riku and Kairi of what is to come.
Now that Xehanort can not defeat the three Chasers who abandoned him so long ago for they have vanished. Then he will just have to defeat the descendants of these Chasers who have caused so much trouble in his life.
“A great war is about to once again begin. One that will decide the fate of all those who hold a Keyblade, and those that lay in the path of Light.”
