dear sweet mother of mercy I hate Queen Buzzerfly forever and ever
Went to level up and okay that was a lot easier that time, awesome!
And then Sora glides into The World That Never Was, huh. We haven’t seen that for the others, have we? I guess it makes sense with the diving and all though.
Xigbar turns up and- okay then, he’s got the Organization coat on, and his guns and gravity powers still. You suck, Xigbar. He actually says plot points. I… this game.
And Xehaclone is narrating things for Sora? A… apparently Xehanort sent his Heartless back to himself when he was on Destiny Island in the first place. I suddenly understand jack shit. (And Sora has his KH1 gloves in Traverse Town, huh. And they kind of data fuzz out? Weird.)
With that sequence over… we auto-drop to Riku. Okay! I wonder how much this has to do with Yen Sid not being able to find Sora. (I’m betting a lot.)
…ahhhh the Reality Shift has the two of them holding onto one side each of a Keyblade (it looks mostly like Oathkeeper, I think? Aaaaah)
There’s a room with moving bits, they glow when they’re about to come out… it’s a pain to navigate and get up, but you do get a couple good things, so. I should probably check to see if I missed anything else, but… man.
And this room- we’re gradually unlocking it, with the Reality Shift and the balls of something or other. The World That Never Was… it kind of always has seemed like a layered thing, so this is pretty cool.
Then it flattens out into a very basic walkway. Okay then!
…oh yay this special portal is right where there’s a bunch of lightning things that’ll hurt you awesome.
Also you grind UP these pipes, omg. :o UP them, guys!
And I made a Meowjesty, and he is an adorable bouncing blob <3 And a Sir Kyroo, finally, who is of course named Cyrus, because what else could I have called him. (The chef is called Ayla, because I’m a horrible person.)
…oh boy big platform I bet we’re in for trouble now.
Ah Sora’s in a bubble of something, with bits of darkness swirling around. We see images of Kairi and Riku (in KH2 clothes) and Pluto walking away. Oh… oh man. Then something begins to coalesce out of the darkness, and- it has red eyes, and purple-reddish patterns on the Organization cloak. Ohhhhh man. “Are you what’s trapping him in that nightmare? ‘Cause if you are… I’m what nightmares fear!” Aw, RIKU. ♥! And they do a thing with the Dream Eater symbol on Riku’s back (huh.), and the Nightmare symbol appears on this other person’s back. LET’S GO.
‘Defeat the Anti Black Coat Nightmare!’ I… huh that’s a long name also maybe kind of dumb! ‘Anti Nightmare’, really guys? It keeps vorping either me or itself across the battlefield, that’s pretty annoying.
? And then it fades away.
The world flickers in and out around Riku- the tower where he is, and the bottom, that outside area where Sora fell asleep.
“No matter how many nightmares you consume” YES dream eating kyah kyah “you cannot wake someone who has fallen into the chasm of dreams” oh screw you too Ansemnort. “Dreams hold our memories. Sleep holds our dreams.” Huh this is interesting for worldstuff… “And darkness- it holds our sleep. Sora’s heart belongs to the darkness now” oh GET BENT SO HARD. SO HARD.
.|.. ..|.
“This whole journey, you have been inside Sora’s dreams” ohhhhh holy shit
and sucked down into the darkness
“And you became exactly what that sigil on your back represents- a Dream Eater to protect Sora from nightmares.” omg omg :o Riku! baku-Riku, waaaaaant. That would be a magnificent AU.
…why is Ansem glowing
and yes, of COURSE his answer is to release the darkness inside Riku *eyeroll*
“Darkness stole your heart, and the keyblade with it” ohhhh hmm that’s an interesting thought!
eeeee Terra secret! :D
“I’m going back to the real world, and then to Sora’s side.” ah kiiiids
whoa this thing… area… whatever looks like an impressionist painting, cool!
And we gotta fight Ansem again. Siiiiigh.
Oh thank god, Reality Shift activates on him. I hate the dash, you can’t block it (which I guess kind of makes sense? Ugh, whatever). And then we get a floor, yes. (And then my Dream Eaters turn up, I don’t know how anyone’s going to explain this now.) WE HAVE A GOOD HAND NOW. Meanwhile, Ansem is going “You can’t protect anything” which GET STUFFED. >:E The… I forget what it’s called now, the Heartless that guards him… that’s got an HP gauge too, though we can’t do anything to it. :( Ansem summons the painting absence-of-floor again, but he hasn’t got that much HP left, and a Reality Shift and another hit finish him off.
Riku tells Ansem he’s part of Riku’s heart now, part of the light. Ansem tells him he’s a fool, and forever a pawn of the darkness which uh HE JUST PWNED YOU, SHUT UP.
…okay wait no WE’VE GOT A SECOND TIER GUARDIAN TO FIGHT JESUS CHRIST. I can’t. I really can’t. This isn’t going so badly, aside from my eagle Dream Eater needed more levels before I came into this- I don’t want to lose them, okay-, and then it knocks me back out of… seriously, are we doing paintings here or what? I don’t know what’s going on anymore. Then it summons two balls of something, and I probably shouldn’t run into that shit again.
…ffff and then there are black and white balls of something else which are killer. FFFFF. God, at least it’s not the weird flesh-ship again.
HAAAAAAH holy shit got him the second time GEEZ and had to rescue eagle-baku twice, man. You’d think this’d be easier at this point, but nope. The guardian reaches out for Riku, but Riku holds up the Keyblade.
“Strength, to protect what matters.” Aaahhhh!
And Riku decides they probably weren’t meant to be split up, and they’re a long way off from where they should be. The title for TWTNW appears- again? I forget. And we start exploring again.
…well, then I walk into a ‘need to drop’ scenario, so. Back to Sora!
…KH2 clothes yay! And Naminé? Everyone’s going away… AH XION
Sora sheds a tear, and Xion leaves the message “You gotta wake up”. Kiiiiids. ;;
ugh I hate the portals that are high up, it’s such a pain when you knock the enemies down…
I think their Reality Shifts are called different things… *peers at* Yeah, it’s Mirage Shift for Riku, and Nightmare’s End for Sora.
Also god who thought enemies that could detach their heads were cool fuck these guys
Ah! We have Roxas under the hood now. “How can you be here? Am I dreaming?” … … … !!! And then Roxas(?) shakes their head. “C’mon, say something!” Roxas(?) goes serious. “This could have been the other way around.” …yeah I guess? “But it really has to be you. … There are so many hearts that are connected to yours. You’re me, so you can feel what I felt.” Sora says no, and that’s what he wanted to tell Roxas, that he deserves to be his own person! :D “See? That’s why it has to be you,” Roxas says. Then he takes Sora’s hands and I think this is directly sharing his memories. Huh! It looks kinda painful for Sora.
Ahhhh Riku’s voice is coming through!
Oh man buildings are tipping- were tipping? Uh. I don’t get what we’re supposed to do. They kind of shake you off (and up), so I guess that’s it. And then buildings come up to obstruct you, I wonder if they’re trying to be good or bad.
Ah it’s the bit with Riku and Kairi! They’re billowing, kind of, it’s sort of gross. :x
…and then Aqua and Terra kyah kyah Terra says “Ven”, Aqua tilts her head to the side and says “Ven” as well and then oh my god Ven-look! :o They hold out their hands, but Sora-Ven hesitates and then it’s Kairi and Riku again, and they turn and walk away god no everything is horrible and Sora moves like he’s going through molasses or something. Riku’s voice comes through again (oh, kids).
There’s a light, and- suddenly we’re getting a memory, with kids on the beach and then Aqua walking and I can’t, no, why are you doing this to me game. PROMISE ME WE WILL FIND AND RESCUE THEM, PLEASE.
Sora comes down in a burst of light, and Xigbar’s waiting. Agh, Riku did almost wake Sora up, but… well, that explains Sora disappearing, maybe, I guess. “The falling asleep part was definitely our bad” oh like you regret shit, Xigbar. >:E
Xigbar says Sora’s heart hasn’t helped him that much- god, I was way too right in thinking ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’ could be applied to the Organization- “Aren’t hearts great? Steer us wrong every time!”
Sora protests, of course, go fight win kiddo /o/ “You need a heart to cry!” and talking about Axel, Roxas, Naminé and ‘that other girl’ god someone tell him about Xion please I can't take this (can she be her own person too? please?).
Something about a burgeoning replacement? I don’t know. I… think Xemnas vaguely indicates something about developing something instead of a heart- ‘the body will try to replace the heart first chance it gets’.
Kingdom Hearts, you are pretty creepy sometimes.
“Translation- they were gonna turn all the members into Xehanort”
SCREAM
SCREAM
AAAAAHHHHHH
…even Larxene? And Marluxia? Holy shit, those two don’t look half as ENTIRELY FUCKED UP compared to THIS, WHAT THE SHIT.
Hmm and… they’re trying to get Sora on side, get him to doubt himself… hahaha yeah that’s gonna go down well
“The keyblade didn’t choose you”
“I don’t care if it didn’t choose me. I’m proud to be part of something bigger- the people it did choose! My friends are my power!” And everyone is behind him, oh man you guys ;;
fighting Xemnas, bluh
X MARKS THE SPOT
FUCK
FUCK
FUUUUUUUUUCK
Oh no darkness is rising from Sora’s body… Sora baby no no no no… worn down to nothing, oh shit this means he can’t resist things…
Xehanort decides now is the time to pontificate about why now this is happening, he started it all off in the first place because he saw it here and now I… what? What? God.
“…the thirteenth dark vessel”
OH MY GOD FUCK EVERYTHING I CAN’T
GUYS WHEN YOU STARTED THESE GAMES
DID YOU SEE THIS COMING
BECAUSE I SURE DIDN’T
“You can move through time, but time itself is immovable.”
AAAAAHHHHHH
AAAAAAAHHHHHHH
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
The darkness around Sora is getting worse, noooooooo no no no no no no
Ahhhhh white throne D:
A light? …! The armour! Ven’s armour! And- the Station of Awakening?
Anyway. Back to Riku!
…there’s a cliff… Riku can tell Sora hasn’t woken, because he still has his Dream Eater powers. And- something’s crying? The Dream Eater Sora made first… and then Batty appears to help Riku get across! Eeeeee. Batty I love you. And we use Dreamline to connect the two Dream Eaters and cross, kyah.
Ahhhhh it’s the throne room of the Organization fffffffff.
Xehaclone (…HOLY SHIT I wasn’t TRYING to be right about that it just seemed obvious except not THAT true D:) pontificates more, about them trying to go for Riku first, but since he learnt to trap darkness… they moved on ‘down the list like the Keyblade’ oh GET BENT. Also Xigbar said something about himself already being part of Xehanort (…I forget who to :x) and HOLY SHIT HIS EYE D:
MICKEY!
AAAAAHHHH he’s from the time Xehanort had a keyblade! Ffffffff.
…gears and shapes with liquids in them? God, he has a saber in his keyblade…
…that wasn’t so bad. Only then you have to use Reality Shift on him AND THEN FIGHT HIM AGAIN, WHAT. WHY. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS, GAME. This stops a clock in the middle of the field, and you need to beat it down.
The time is fading by the time you get out of that field, though, and Master Xehanort as a complete person is in the topmost throne. FFFFFFFFF.
AND THEN HE INSULTS AQUA AND TERRA AND VEN, DIE DIE DIE. FUCK YOUR XANATOS GAMBIT, XEHANORT, I GOT FRIENDS TO SAVE.
‘Guardians of light’, and ‘seekers of darkness’.
…wait but if some of them are technically claimed by both sides…
AAAAAAHHHHH FUCK NO
NO NO NO NO NO
LEA! And promises, kyah! …except Isa omg no (but I guess… no wonder he was so loyal, or… something). And Lea gives up on Lea from Riku for the moment.
AH Donald and Goofy! With the star travelling, hahaha. And this wins enough time to lose Xehanort and them the rest of their time.
…hmm and what about Ven…
…once we find Aqua, we’ll be good there. I think.
Back to the Mysterious Tower, whee.
And everyone’s got their proper clothes back, whee!
“…and also unlock the power to wake a sleeping heart. Riku, you unlocked those Keyholes within Sora’s dreams.” :o!
“And if the darkness gets you, I’ll bail you out,” says Lea. “‘Dark Rescue’ is my middle name.” What’s your last, then? :)?
…wait no I got this
AGENT LEA DARK RESCUE MCFLURRY
Man now I want to come up with ridiculous names for all my RP accounts. Oh well.
Riku summons a portal to enter Sora’s dreams. It says to tag Soras, which is kind of neat? Then there’s Anti-Soras, too.
Ahhh Nightmare armour rising out of the darkness! It has a black Kingdom Key… What… you have to defeat him in the darkness, because he summons another thing from the darkness around him to fight you with. Riku gets his own power up, though, and- I don’t know how you win this bit, do I just mash, or… :\
…maybe if I find whoever has Once More. :\
The armour cracks, releasing Sora, but Sora sinks down again. The Kingdom Key stays, though, and Riku picks it up when the darkness snaps off it, and opens another Sleeping Keyhole, :o I hope the armour will be okay if they need it again.
And then we’re on Destiny Island again! The sea is glittering. Yeah… this is home, this is where he’d come back to recover. ♥
Ah Roxas! And questions…
Ah Ven! …they just vanish after, huh… I hope they’re okay.
Xion! She’s sitting on the tree, and Riku takes up his post. Heeee.
Message inna bottle~
…what is Ansem the Wise doing here?? …his eyes are weird…
“I digitized myself and my research, and hid them within Sora.” WHAT THE HELL Sora is not your book depository! But… so that’s the bottle? Meant to help find and recover lost hearts.
…nnnnnno I think Kairi had a lot to do with Sora getting himself back. Restoring people… I think he’ll still need to work with others. That’s his strength, after all. “When he sees the heart in something, it then becomes real.” Huh.
Do we get to take the data out? :o
…oh so Sora did get free when we defeated the armour. \o/ And then the questions~
Another Keyhole? Okay. This is us getting out, whee!
…this Ansem doesn’t know Riku’s name! Whaaaaa. OKAY THEN.
…and Sora’s awake and eating geeeeeez Sora you could’ve waited for us! GEEEEEEZ. “Calm down, Sora, and drink your tea!” Donald and Cid are a terror to all the worlds. ♥
oh my god where’d he get the beaglepuss from
WHEE HUGS! …he got to watch? Huuuuuuh.
/o/ yay unharmed kids! Haha yes good thank you for acknowledging throwing them into that trouble wasn’t a great idea
And Riku gets named the new Keyblade Master and Sora congratulates him with enthusiasm. Heeeeee. Riku, you have all the proof you are what you deserve to be, and that is AWESOME. ♥
…keyblade wielding Lea this is going to be awful. In a spectacular way! Shhhh Lea your chakrams are also cool and OOOOHHH that one’s nice too!
Kairi’s coming next time, right? Right? :D
? Sora’s going to do some things… Alone? Man, be careful!
…oh jeez are they really using Sanctuary for the end? Bluh.
…wait so why DID Sora see Vanitas with Xehaclone? Because of his own darkness, which they were trying to get at?
…wait Leonard Nimoy is Master Xehanort!? :O *nope doesn’t pay that much attention*
BLUH PRECISION DIVES >:[
Oh what happened to the guys still in Radiant Garden?
Traverse Town! Oh huh we’re finding the Dream Eaters. Batty~
…god you can’t tell me they wouldn’t created that many Dream Eaters
CASTLE OBLIVION VEN and glowing!
I think I just need one more trophy, and then I should be good for the secret ending. … I think.
