Kingdom Hearts: In the Beginning is the ninth Kingdom Hearts game to be released and the first in the timeline.

The game follows the story of two young keyblade wielders, Cor and Yumi, who set out to stop the darkness from taking over.

The Man In Black
Fifty years prior to the birth of Xehanort, the worlds are peaceful and light and darkness are totally balanced. Situated right in the middle of the Realm of Light is the biggest and most peaceful world of all: Crystal City.

Crystal City has two tribes that live harmoniously together: the Inferno tribe and the Whirlpool tribe. Every year a child from each has just turned 13 is selected to become one of the Royal Guard and study the path of either light or darkness. One year after the Choosing, two trainees by the name of Cor and Yumi were visited by a strange man in a black coat. The man told them that they were destined to do great things. With that he handed them both a strange weapon.

The Attack
Shortly after the man's departure strange creatures of darkness started appearing all over the city, feasting on the darkness in people's hearts. The Royal Guard were called to defend the city, and Cor and Yumi rushed off to their duty. No matter how hard they tried, their normal weapons just seemed to pass straight through the creatures. One of the creatures jumped out at Cor but vanished as Cor had summoned the weapon given to him by the man in black, and slashed at the creature. Seeing Cor's new strategy, Yumi too summoned her weapon, and together they fought off the creatures.

Immediatly after Cor and Yumi's heroic feat they were summoned to see the King. But instead of the thanks they were expecting, they were accused of being black magicians and having bought the creatures there themselves. Despite their protests, Cor and Yumi were given three hours to get out of the kingdom.

On the very borders of the kingdom, Cor and Yumi stood by and watched as the Royal Guard shattered the barriers between the worlds through concentrated attack of light and darkness, fire and water. Just as they were about to move on, they were startled by a voice behind them. It was the man in black. He told them that he had given them the power of the keyblade, the only weapon that can destroy the Entities - the dark creatures that attacked the city - once and for all. He then showed them how to activate their keyblade armor and keyblade gliders, and sent them on their quest. On the way to the next world, Cor and Yumi were seperated, and began to take their own paths.
