first movement; darkness.
So this happened. My glorious three-part FST that started out as a chronology of Kingdom Hearts, but morphed into focusing solely on Sora and Roxas' stories with undertones of slash (if you choose to see it as that--I sure did). If you should happen to run into any problems regarding the downloadable content or, I dunno, a typo bothering your perfectionist senses--feel free to let me know! Any and all comments would be greatly appreciated due to how long this damn thing took me to put together, haha! Otherwise, enjoy.

so weit wie noch nie ~ jürgen paape
Riku's adventurous enthusiasm persuades his two friends into traveling alongside him.
{We hear a singing in the room/Singing in the room, singing in the room/We hunt the monotony/Monotony, monotony/We make out of the hours a year/And moonshine out of our hair/We fly higher than ever before}
"If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds... then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could have just as easily ended up somewhere else, right?"
"I don't know."
"Exactly. That's why we need to go out there and find out. Just sitting here won't change a thing. It's the same old stuff. So let's go." - Riku and Sora
like a river around a rock (mystery skulls remix) ~ marco beltrami
Destiny Islands succumbs to darkness.
"I went below and was greeted by the strangest sight. Creatures that seemed born from darkness... What are they? Are they truly sentient beings? Could they be the shadows of those who lost their hearts in my experiments? [...] They are multiplying underground even as I write this report. They still need a name. Those who lack hearts... I will call them the Heartless." - Ansem Report 2/Ansem Report 3
kings cup ~ bass king, x-vertigo, golden sun
Riku's invitation to Sora.
{You know I need to be sensitive/I know you think I have a lot to give/Don't wake me up just yet/So just wait/Don't want to take you down/Don't be afraid of it now/Just let it take you now}
"There's no turning back. But this may be our only chance. We can't let fear stop us! I'm not afraid of the darkness!" - Riku
madellin (aly & fila vs activavs activa) ~ activa, aly, fila
Sora, Donald, and Goofy take on the darkness in their flight to save other worlds.
"Donald Duck."
"Name's Goofy."
"I'm Sora."
"All for one, and one for all!" - Sora, Donald, and Goofy
clubbed to death (kurayamino variation) - rob dougan
Maleficent and her cohorts strive for an era of complete darkness.
"A massive core of energy lay beyond the door sought by the Heartless. It may well be the ultimate goal of all Heartless. But what is that energy? The Heartless feed on others' hearts and they yearn for that energy core. That thing beyond the door must be a heart too -- the heart of this world." - Ansem Report 6
die forelle - julius drake, ian bostridge
Riku falls.
{A fisher with his rod/stood at the water-side/and watched with cold blood/as the fish swam about/But finally the thief grew weary/of waiting. He stirred up/the brook and made it muddy/and before I realized it/his fishing rod was twitching/the fish was squirming there/and with raging blood/I gazed at the betrayed fish}
"Beware the darkness in your heart. The Heartless prey upon it." - Maleficent
running to the sea - röyksopp, susanne sundfor
Riku, controlled by Ansem, begins to desert the darkness in favor of the side of light.
I could hear them howling from afar
{I saw them rushing to your car/In a moment all went screaming wild/Until the darkness killed the light/I remember running to the sea/The burning houses and trees/I remember running to the sea/Alone and blinded by the fear/And the river flows beneath your skin/Like savage horses kept within/And all is wasted in the sand/Like breaking diamonds with your hand/And the river grows inside of me}
"Sora! Come back, Sora!"
"So, you have awaken at last princess. The Keyhole is now complete. You Have served your purpose. But now it's over."
"Impossible... "
"No! You won't use me for this!"
"Riku!"
"You've got to run! The Heartless are coming!" - Kairi, Ansem, and Riku
blue orb ~ kahimi karie
Kairi makes Sora promise to return her lucky charm.
{Roll up, your space, your air, your joy, your wind/Roll up, your sound, your wave, your thought, your spark/your touch, your wall, your sense, your love, your feel/your sign, your soul, your flash, your flame, your heat, your heart/Wrap up, my breath, my tears, and my fate/Wrap up, my prayer, my hope, and my night/Orb appeared in the sky/God sent you into orbit around me/The star...}
"Don't ever forget: wherever you go, I'm always with you." - Kairi
leaving england ~ john murphy
Sora and his companions travel through The End of the World.
"All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it, grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came. You see, darkness is the heart's true essence."
"That's not true! The heart may be weak, and sometimes it may even give in. But I've learned that deep down, there's a light that never goes out!
"So, you have come this far and still you understand nothing. Every light must fade, every heart return to darkness!" - Ansem and Sora
apotheosis ~ austin wintory
This chapter of Sora's journey reaches its end as he continues onwards to bring Riku home.
"Giving up already? C'mon, Sora, I thought you were stronger than that!" - Riku

four seasons: winter, 1st movement ~ antonio vivaldi
Riku fights to suppress his inner darkness.
lights (m25 version) ~ grasscut
Riku depends on Sora to always guide him back to where he needs to be.
{The lights the lights the lights that light/The days the days the days that weigh/The days the days that get away/The days the days the days that weigh/The days the days that get away/The ways the ways we turn away/The ways the ways we turn to face/The ways the ways we turn away/The ways the ways we turn away/The ways the ways we turn away/The ways the ways we turn to face/The ways the ways we turn away/The ways the ways we turn away/The lights the lights/Light my way}
