As promised, I finished Aqua's story by today. I also have a rather amazing, real life story about Wayfinders that I'll share another day, something that started before any of us had ever heard the term "Wayfinder," maybe before it was even coined by Nomura. And the parallels between myself and two friends and the three friends in Birth by Sleep. It's both happy and sad. And ironic.
I cried SO MUCH.
And if it’s NEVERLAND you neeeed, it’s light will lead you there!.
Cubby and Slightly!
Oops, Aqua.
LOLS, Follow the leader, it’s AQUA!
Expatition? LOL, pronunciation for the win? Or typo?
EEE, Aqua’s both a girl and a grown-up, and she’s part of the gang? XD Tink’s jealous.
Aqua, being responsible. *Sigh* Oh man, I wonder if Tink’ll be mean to her. I’d feel so bad for Aqua, but it’d be so perfect!
Calling it off???
LOL, yeah, it’s not a typo. She puts it in quotation marks. XD
AWWW, cute.
LOL, Peter knows she’s jealous. And I think Aqua’s enjoying their company.
The hideout! Yaaaay! Cute as ever.
You bet we’re busy! With an expATition!
You’ll show me up now? Oh Hook.
Pan is so unabashed.
...I just AQUIRED a Firaga Burst? After trying to MAKE ONE FRUITLESSLY? HAHAHAHAHA, I love chests.
I still find it funny and REALLY cool they made a swimming animation for one level.
Man I’m overleveled.
KH- the only game you can get shot and barely be hurt.
Awww, Aqua. You know not the greatness of Pixie Dust.
OH COOL BALLS OF PIXIE DUST. Ven, you’re so missing out!
THIS is so what Neverland should’ve been in KH1.
Oh, never been here before.
MANDRAKE KILL
Major Platforming FTW
Oooops, fell down.
Wooow, I’m so high! COOOOL
Funny thing about Confuse is that it switches your directional controls a few times, rather than just reverses them.
Um... This is familiar.
Yes, of course you were Peter. XD
OOOOOH, this is after BOTH of the others!
GAH, Hook’s twitch is so perfect. AWWW, even Aqua’s laughing along with the boys.
And you’re assuming Vanitas is following, aren’t you? You still don’t know what he is, do you? Or did Eraqus tell you? ...Probably.
DOUBLEFLIGHT YEEEAAAAAH NEAT
So where to look first?
YEAH, DOUBLEFLIGHT, ARCHRAVENS
Wow, dramatic breathing and first person POV
THERE YOU ARE... Kiddies? Why does this make me laugh?
DROP THAT
O.o You just broke a small log there dude.
Gimme a big drill, some thin lead tubing and a buncha wood glue stat! >.< JERK
What need did you ever have for me?
Freak. Great word, Aqua, very suiting. I approve. I can remember that one.
Yes, Vanitas, I still am using this flowery Keyblade. Want another sniff?
He’s susceptable to Deep Freeze? Really? And Raging Storm was hilarious, though not my fave ability.
Wow, he went flying.
Man, she’s hurt too.
No, Aqua, I doubt it. He’s Keyblade’s still there.
Awwww!!!! Ooooh, know she’ll be okay, but I wanna cry...!
Wow, a new POV on that...
Oh man, finally, a few tears.
Oh Aqua, you’re so cute.
Yes, do some back.
I KNOW THAT LIGHT
EEEEEEEEEE
YOu finally found that star-shaped fruit, Aqua.
*Pauses, has an epiphany, and pulls out a star-shaped charm she made about 4 years ago. Hangs it on the wall, marveling at a strange irony.*
Aqua... You’re the only one who’s insightful enough to tell something is terribly wrong.
Kids=theme.
AWWW, SORA AND AQUA
Awww, you know, I never really thought of those two as sincere, but yeah. And Sora and ven? You bet.
Special enough? For what?
How does she know he’s getting a Keyblade?
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Yes Sora, YES, you watch out for your best friend and turn him back the right way!!!!
I wanna ruffle their hair!!!
Taking a time out?
So that’s why she didn’t pass the power...
She is SO worried about Terra.
And now I’ll finally change my Keyblade.
Mickey?!
Man, I hope Mickey’s protected against the darkness!!!!
*Goes back to finish leveling one thing just to get a Finish Boost and rid myself of that meh command*
OH MAN, how’d I trigger Ghost Drive, it ROCKS.
Time to meet Yen Sid again.
Always such a bizarre landscape.
SO THAT’S HOW SHE FINDS OUT
Wow, that’s aggressive for her. O.o I can’t say I blame her.
So the Keyblade Graveyard really is ancient, outright stated.
Great acting, Willa.
REPORT
O.O Open the door and you’ll no longer be human???
So there were worlds even before the World was recreated. Man, this war sounds like WWII.
So that’s why the World Order must be protected. To prevent war from happening again.
To save Terra from his darkness and Ven from Vanitas. Aqua, we have work to do.
KEYBLADE GRAVEYARD
Obligatory looking out at the landscape and saying a deep, determined line.
How funny... The logo. The piece of Aqua’s Keyblade is the last of the three to appear.
MAN, Aqua has a TON of HP! I just noticed! *Level 44 and HP boosts*
HOLY CRAP Ghost Drive IS AMAZING
One, last save point. Oh man, just like with Ven I’m worked up!!! Now I know some of what’s coming! I guess i get to see if I actually do fight Xigbar as Aqua. *Goes to make another Thundaga Shot. Let’s have some Ghost Drive.*
Okay, gotta remember my Shotlock... Wonder how my deck will do.
Here we go.
...She so doesn’t want to ask.
This makes even more sense now.
Why am I ready to cry so soon? Oh Ven...
Every time I see this scene my emotions change. From concern, to dread, to sadness. I’m impressed.
Wow, at this point, this is the angriest I’ve ever been with Xigbar/Braig.
Wait, what music is playing???DO I GET TO FIGHT TO THIS????
HA, FREAKING TAKE THAT DAYS!!!! Sorry Riku, Braig’s got this!
Kiss yourself goodbye? NICE line!
And here comes trouble, I bet...
Oh man, Vanitas is coming.
Black out.
Where?
MICKEY!!!!!!!!!!!
OH CRAP WHAT THE **** IS HE HOLDING I THOUGHT WE FIXED THAT
CREEEEEEPY
THANK YOU MICKEY, EPIC WIN YOU ARE AMAZING
Oh here we go with the two-voices-in-one-muscle-suit deal. BAD NEWS.
But-but-but I THOUGHT VEN BEAT HIM
And again, a main character is telling said other voice to give the friend’s heart back.
This fight’s gonna stink, huh?
...Sorta. But I’m sure we’re not done yet.
Another Riku line. >.< WHAT A CREEPY SMIRK
...What did the Wayfinder do????
EEEEPIC
WOW SHOCKWAVE
Now THAT IS AQUARAGE
How’d she break it??? Or did this correspond with Ven... It must have.
They’re KEYHOLES
HOLD ON MICKEY
NO CATCH HIM
Report now???
Aqua? Where are you?
That’s what I asked.
Mysterious Tower?
Oh Man, Ven looks like Roxas did about to be digitized...
Oh VEN
To believe?
...In twilight?
Wow, KH talking about a different kind of love. Good job!
AND I BELIEVE IN VEN
Light to follow? Mickey, did you believe in Riku?
You know how to find Terra, Aqua???
WOW, for needing to cry so early on, that was the MOST HOPEFUL ending of the three!
Credits: *Hums along* AWWW, a kiss!
Kairi and her grandma!
Gantu... LOST BOYS
MICKEY
SORAAAAAAAA
Eraqus, too!
....And now what?
FINAL EPISODE SAVE DATA
KEYSLINGER TROPHY LAAAAWLS
And now Aqua’s theater mode is ready. I reached my goal.
...Wait, I’m ONLY 79% done???
Report: Keyblades are man-made??? How? And how is the x-blade coexisting with Kingdom Hearts if it HAS TO BE MADE TOO? YOU MAKE NO SENSE.
So the Kingdom Hearts we saw in KH2 is only just man-made. The TRUE Kingdom Hearts, the Kingdom Hearts sought by “Ansem,” is this one, and hard to actually find. You know, I’m glad, since the creation and “feeding” of Kingdom Hearts in KH2 seemed to cheapen it. Fact: It wasn’t the true one. It also means that since it appeared right before the X-blade was forged, then maybe the Hearts of worlds are able to either exist in two places at once, OR, that Kingdom Hearts is a path to each world’s heart. Or perhaps better said, it’s the “Heart of the World.” With a capital “W.” That means, however, that since Xehanort knows about artificial Kingdom Hearts, ones made through Heart collection, that Organization XIII wasn’t the first group to do it!
