==Plot==
the sequel begins with a British teenager named Roxas (Taron Egerton) living in Cologne, Germany. Roxas has dreams of Sonic and Sora's adventures while increasingly mysterious activities begin taking place in Cologne during Roxas's summer vacation in Berlin, Germany. After obtaining the Keyblade to defend himself from the Nobodies, Roxas comes in contact with a young man in black named Axel (Joe Cole). Axel appears to know Roxas, though Roxas has no recollection of him. Roxas eventually makes his way into an abandoned mansion where a girl named Naminé (Natalie Dormer) informs him that he is a Nobody, although he did not quite know what a Nobody was at that time. Finally, confronted by a mysterious, red-cloaked man called DiZ (Jared Harris), Roxas discovers Sonic (voiced by Mathieu Kassovitz), Sora (Freddie Highmore), Tails (voiced by Shirley Henderson), Knuckles (voiced by Bruce Willis), Donald (voiced by Don Cheadle) and Goofy (voiced by Bill Hader) sleeping in the hidden basement of the mansion. Roxas seems to merge with Sonic and Sora. As Sonic, Sora, Tails, Knuckles, Donald and Goofy awake from their year-long slumber, Jiminy Cricket (Patrick Stewart), who had previously chronicled the group's adventures, finds that his journal is now completely blank, save for the note: "Thank Naminé". They arrives in Cologne, the place where the British boy, Roxas, lived before he suddenly left. Gaining new clothes for Sora and powers, Sonic began his journey anew. As he continues his quest by unlocking paths to new worlds and rescuing his friends, learning of Nobodies and fighting the Heartless, as well as facing the remaining members of the mysterious Organization XIII. As the movie continues, Sonic and Sora learns about Roxas and how much they have in common. After meeting Pete (voiced by Nick Kroll), a new villain, and speaking with Yen Sid (Hugh Laurie), the party is informed that they must once again visit many worlds to protect them from both the Heartless and the Nobodies in an attempt to stop Organization XIII and their commanders: Xemnas (Matthew Bellamy), Venus (Florence Welch), Dakim (Terrence Howard) and Ein (Daniel Radcliffe). These include both old but greatly changed places, like Hollow Bastion, and brand new worlds the party has never encountered before, on their way they meet Lucario (voiced by Natalie Portman) a female aura fighter. In the course of their travels, the Heartless, led in two separate groups by a revived Maleficent (Sandra Huller), Dr. Eggman and the Organization, regain power, eventually forcing Sonic to battle a massive army of Heartless that are attacking Hollow Bastion. Along the way, they learn that the Ansem (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) they fought a year ago was actually the Heartless of Xehanort, and that the Nobody of Xehanort, Xemnas and his wife Venus, are the leaders of Organization XIII. They also learn that Xehanort was an apprentice of the real Ansem, who is missing. After the battle, Xemnas and his sister Venus appears and they leave with a cryptic note that King Mickey (voiced by Chris Pratt) knows where Riku (Ezra Miller) is. When Xemnas and Venus leaves, another member of the Organization, Saïx (Thure Lindhardt), appears before the group and reveals their ultimate goal: the Nobodies' plan to create another Kingdom Hearts, a doorway to the heart of all worlds that will presumably allow the Nobodies to get their hearts back. After confronting and defeating more members of the Organization, Sonic and Sora goes to The World That Never Was to settle the score with the Organization for good; they also finally reunites with Sonic's love interest Amy Rose (voiced by Keira Knightley) and Sora's friends Riku and Kairi (Juno Temple). Sonic learns the truth about Roxas as well; he and Naminé are, respectively, Sora and Kairi's Nobodies, created when they lost their hearts in Sonic's Adventures of Kingdom Hearts, In the end, only Xemnas, Venus, Dakim and Ein left of the original eighteen members still as commanders. Sonic, Shadow, Sora and Riku unite to defeat Xemnas and Venus and their new Kingdom Hearts is closed. Sonic and the others are returned to La Gomera in Spain. Although Sonic, his friends and Sora had to say goodbye to Donald and Goofy, Sonic and Sora knows in his heart that true friends are never gone. In the post-credits scene, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Lucario, Amy, Sora, Riku, and Kairi receive a letter from King Mickey. They proceed to read the letter, but the contents are left unrevealed.
