Kingdom Hearts
Shortly after Sora meets Donald and Goofy for the first time in Traverse Town, a large horde of Heartless began to attack them. One of them was a Guard Armor, the leader of that horde. The trio fought the might Emblem Heartless, and eventually managed to defeat it. With the defeat of the Guard Armor, the other Heartless temporarily calmed down.
Despite this, the Guard Armor later appeared after Sora rung the Second District Bell three times (though it's unknown if it's the same Guard Armor that Sora defeated earlier, or if it's a completely different one). By ringing the bell three times, Sora ended up discovering Traverse Town's Keyhole. Just when he was about to seal the keyhole, a Guard Armor showed up out of nowhere and attacked Sora and his friends. After dealing enough damage to the Guard Armor, it appeared as if it was defeated. However, the Guard Armor got right back up, and began to transform into another Emblem Heartless; Opposite Armor. Despite being much stronger, the Emblem Heartless ended up getting destroyed by Sora and his friends.
