Can anyone explain the grand plot of DDD to me? I dont fully understand what transpired behind the scenes.

Sora and Riku undertake the Mark of Mastery Exam to become Keyblade Masters. Yensid tells them that they have to enter sleeping worlds and seal the keyholes, once they do that the Exam is over.

Unbeknownst to everyone Xehanort interferes. Yensid let's the Exam continue because reasons.

In the end, Sora gets a bit too close to falling too far into sleep, Riku has to help him. Riku and Mickey manage to save Sora from Xehanort, who wants to make him the 13th and final Seeker of Darkness. Xehanort laughs and says "Until we meet again." Then disappears along with the other Seekers.

But Sora won't wake up, so Riku returns to sleep and saves Sora, which wakes him up.

Sora is wearing goofy glasses and partying with Donald and Goofy, Riku wakes up, they celebrate.

Riku is declared a Keyblade Master, Sora fails through no fault of his own.

Sora goes off to visit the Dream Eaters one last time as Ventus, still sleeping, smiles.
