Birth By Sleep
Birth By sleep is the beginning of the lore in Kingdom hearts, it follows 3 main protaginists, Terra, Aqua and Ventus. This game mainly highlights the efforts of Master Xehanort, another keyblade master's efforts to create the X-blade (Ki blade) and unlock kingdom hearts for himself He does this by unlocking the darkness in Ventus's heart and creating Vanitas, a being made from ventus's darkness who's emotions embody the enemy found throughout the game, the Unversed. Throughout the game you see a build up of Terra falling into darkness and Ventus and Aqua being worried for him up to the point in the final fight, Xehanort uses the said darkness inside Terra to use him as his vessel, this results in Terra's mind being trapped in his armour, aqua lost in darkness trying to save him and Ventus in a deep coma from his fight with Vanitas, all though a small apart of Ventus finds his way into Sora
