EPILOGUE: CONTINGENCIES "SECRET ENDING #1" Emptiness in it's Full Form Vanitas was still on patrol in the city streets of Central Haven. Begrudgingly working for his so called master all in the efforts of fulfilling his destiny in unlocking the gate to Kingdom Hearts. At most times, this wielder was often calm and composed, but No Heart's recent treatment of him was beginning to test Vanitas' patience. He was ordered by No Heart to search the world for any remaining resistance members that would go against his master's dearest wishes. "All that knowledge and power. And for what? To get some book maker help him restore something.... I should've just stuck with the old man... At least he had a plan." He kicked a nearby academy student helmet which rolled quite a distance down the walkway. The helmet eventually found it's way at the foot of an foreign woman to this world. Maleficent merely glided around the discarded head piece and arched her eyes as she waved her hand over her enchanted staff. "Xehanort may have planned for many things, but your master is some one he had not foreseen in his own affairs." Vanitas paid no mind to her as he took no time at all making a B-line around her. "Why do you think I switched sides, Witch? Whoever is under that mask is more powerful than Eraqus or Xehanort will ever be." Slightly irked from Vanitas' mistreatment of her evil presence, she continued on as he walked away from her in the other direction. "It truly is a shame that my bargain with him was cut short. However the deal with your new master poses new... potential for my own organization. As well as yourself if interested." Vanitas stopped in his tracks at the sign of some new information. "That freak show is no master of mine... And even if he was, what kind of play did you have in mind?" "Ahh, so the dark underling does have a mind of his own?" Maleficent scoffed. Vanitas drew his keyblade from the mocking gesture. "I am no one's underling." It was almost too easy for her to get his attention. Vanitas was cruel and powerful, but he could still be swayed if the situation benefited him. "There will be no need for a battle to commence. I simply offer a new path for you to take." Vanitas withdrew his weapon. "So why the sudden change of heart? No Heart not meeting your expectation? Furthermore... Why do you need me?" "Silly, boy. You’re like a son to me. I only want you to be happy. "I seriously doubt that," he replied bluntly. Maleficent had a sudden case of Deja Vu from the sheer irony of this conversation. "Clever, I see. Well if that's the case, allow me to make my proposal. As you know, Master Xehanort is the one who educated me about the seven maidens of pure light, and the fulfillment to unlocking the true power of Kingdom Hearts." She moved closer to him with caution as she went on. "Well, this mission that my fellow associates and I embark on still requires that of a keyblade... And seeing as how our predecessor proved to be a useless fool, a new one is now required." Vanitas folded his arms unamused. "So that's it? You need a new fool to use at your beckon call." "Perish the thought my boy. We would both gain the goals we crave. I would seize the power of Kingdom Hearts, and you would complete the X-blade for-" "Not interested," he interrupted. "In case you haven't noticed, No Heart has me on a tight leash." he motion to the unwavering eye on the edge of his keyblade. "Besides, only he knows the whereabouts of Ventus." "Worry not, child, for anything is possible with the right touch of magic." With a wave of her hand the eye stopped moving on his blade. "He can no longer track you now... As for Ventus, his role may not be required after all. My sources tell me there is another of pure light you may set your sights after if it interested you of course. I have the solution to all your problems completed to the letter." "Well joy, my very own scary godmother." "Mock me all you like, but I know you've been feeling inferior with the company you've kept. No Heart constantly degrades you and focuses solely on completing a book. Aux overpowers you on every physical level. And Nequa's plans are still unknown even to No Heart... You ally yourself in a pack of hungry wolves, who care nothing but of their own goals. Your desires will not be held accountable to them once they've lost their usefulness for you. " The more she continued to talk, the more Vanitas listened in. "And to show my gratitude for you allegience, I come bearing a gift... Something that you've missing since you severance from Ventus. Something that could very well put you on par with the power of Aux." Vanitas' arms unfolded. "Okay, you have my attention now. What is it?" Maleficent pulled out a small pink vial from her robe. "This vial is a specially elixir formed by a former colleague of mine. She mixed it's intended use to restore some one to full human form. And that of course means, every part of said human." Vanitas watched as she held it loosely in her hand. "I have the resources and you have the final piece we need... With No Heart out of your hair, you would be free to operate of your own volition." "What happens to me when I drink that?" "You will of course lose all your connection to the Unversed as a minor setback. You will however, gain a full heart of darkness that could match that of your former master. Your ties with the heart of Ventus would also be severed. Born from the same vessel, but made into your own. A complete copy that surpasses the original." Vanitas grabbed the vial from her hand with no hesitation. Maleficent's offer was too rich to pass up. "You've got yourself a deal witch... But I answer to no one. Got it?" "Our goals align. I wouldn't have it any other way." Vanitas' face is shown off screen as he removes his helmet and downs the vial in a few quick gulps. His body is surrounded by a quick vail of darkness before dispersing. "So do tell me... how does it feel to be your own master?" Vanitas burst into a small chuckle with his eyes wide in pleasure. A whole new sensation as he looked up at the sky in pride. "I feel... COMPLETE." Spoiler

Hikaru watched in horror as his best friends were about to battle each other in the most brutal of ways. His eyelids twitched in helpless as Kaida made the charge in what seemed like slow motion to him. Aux remained as unwavering as he'd always been. The fact Aux unmasked himself made things even worse. Now he had to watch his two friends eye each other in hatred. Faces he was laughing with no less than two years ago now at each others throats. Hikaru forced his mouth opened to warn Kaida, but it was far too late. By the time he could prevent something, she was already within his gripping range. "Kaida, wait!" he blurted out. A quick hesitation escape Kaida before she was held at the throat by Aux in one swift motion of his massive arm. She was left dangling off the ground, grasping onto his hand that was lifting her off the ground. A scene Hikaru recalled all too well from Beast's castle. He gritted his teeth as the scene had intensified past his comfort point. Hikaru charged in after to try and subdue Aux, or at the very least get him to release Kaida. "Aux, Let her go!" Aux's eyes flew to Hikaru who was now charging at him with the same ferocity as his friend. With little to no effort, Aux immediately dismissed him by performing a forceful kick against the boy. Letting out a painful groan, Hikaru slid back a couple of feet. He focused his attention back to Kaida. "How does this feel to you?" Tearing up from the deprived oxygen, Kaida refused to give him an inch of satisfaction. "W-weaker than I thought," she retorted, grasping his arms to loosen his grip in any length. This only made Aux grow more impatient with he girl. His grasp around her neck tightened. "I want you to remember this moment, Kaida. This feeling of air escaping you. It will be the last thing you ever feel." Hikaru had recovered with great pain in his chest and charged once more. "At least she can feel!" With no keyblade or magic to support him, he swung his inferior fist against his former friend in a last ditch effort to do some damage. To no avail, Aux barely even noticed it. He was busy trying to drain their last hopes before casting them into the darkness like the rest. Gasping for air, Kaida forced out more antagonizing words. "St-stop talking th-that prophet talk..." She let out a wheezing cough, tears streaming down her cheek. "Talk again... I-I'm not finish-finished with you yet." She kicked him a few times with her limp, dangling legs. Those words were eerily similar to the day she and he had their first sparring fight. He smirked as he replied with the same retort he used back then. "What's left for you?" He threw Kaida to the side, forcing air back into her lungs. He was almost enjoying this last reunion as an homage to their earlier days spent together. He grabbed Hikaru by the shoulder, who all the while was still trying to do hand to hand combat damage. Aux dug his palm into his shoulder until Hikaru fell to his knees from the intense pain. "All advances have been parried." he squeezed harder until a loud CRACK was heard, causing Hikaru's right arm to go limp. Hikaru let out a fierce scream as he was kicked to the ground. He held his arm tightly as he huddled lightly, writhing from the pain. As if half his chest was cracking with every breath. "Your predictability is what weakens you" Kaida was near him, trying to open up her windpipe by rubbing around her neck. She struggled to force herself up, holding her neck for a long moment before letting go. She stared at her defeated blue haired friend with sadness. "I'm still standing... I'm not out yet..." she told herself, slowly walking toward Hikaru. She weakly stepped in front of him in a fighting stance, prepared to defend him. "I'm gonna test my luck. And even if you finish me off, I'm not giving up on those who were really my friends. So go on, just keep showing me how weak you really are, Aux!" He looked at her with an unimpressed gaze, tilting his head menacingly. "How very noble..." He gave Kaida a quick sucker punch across her face, causing her to fall directly next to Hikaru. "But unnecessary." He lifted them both by their collars as the were weakly breathing and very much damaged. Kaida was barely conscious and Hikaru was about to black out from pain. "Enough is enough. As an atonement of whatever friendship you believe existed, I'm going to test your strength for the final time." He looked up into the dark void, slowly tearing apart Disneytown while he stood their with his two beaten friends in his hands. As if that darkness spoke to him in a way these two would never be able to fathom. "They say darkness is much like the waters we sail through. Once entered you either sink or swim. Let's see if either of you are up to the task. Who will conquer the darkness I wonder. The Failure..." He looked intently at Kaida, now with the left side of her face beginning to bruise, with her shut eyes giving the occasional twitch. "Or the Pawn?" He then looked to Hikaru whose eyes were twitching along with his trembling fingers. "Either way. I'm done with both of you." In a very slow motion, Aux released them from his grasp as he gently tilted them upwards. As if this were a viking funeral and he was sending them to their hallowed graves up above. Aux watched as the two drifted further and further like balloons. In their earlier days of bonding, Kaida made them all promise that they would never say goodbye to eachother. That they would always say 'see you later!' so they knew they would be able to see each other again. Looking back, Aux was scoffing at the mere idea of it. He watched them until they nothing more than tiny dots, edging into the darkness before his eyes pierced at the blackened sky with purpose. The screen goes black as Aux delivers his final line. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "Goodbye." . . . . . . .

I missed mossed of it, but I'm assuming it went like this;
Nice to see my subtle flirting tactics are being noticed Spoiler
I don't mind the remix too much. After a few listens it's slowly growing on me but something about the little chiptune sounds bothers me as there seems to be a backing instrumental trying to make it's way in there being overcast. The trailer itself offered some great gameplay from Aqua's game and the HD upgrade for KH3D is nice considering it's the only full game you're really getting. The Back cover cutscenes I always look forward to since the lore of Kingdom Hearts is pretty much what will help this whole little hodgepodge of a story fit more into place. Also I love that one scene where Ven and Terra turn around as their evil counterparts. Aqua's game is definitely going to be the first one I play.
Really liking the boxarts for the compilation remixes. It shows all the twists and turns the series has made for the inevitable and much awaited KH3.
Scans looking nice and neat! Also awesome post as reporter heart :p
I think it's great to have a very diverse range of characters in any segment of visual entertainment. Kids shows especially have begun to show more mature themes and openness to both sexuality, culture, and gender. Shows like adventure time and Steven universe are brought up often as being very mature because of the characters that are portrayed. They aren't perfect, they're very obviously flawed, and have distinct emotional issues that are carried over each episode. That's what I think makes good tv. Character growth and being able to fairly represent certain themes and ideas in an easy to follow manner. As far as culture goes, I think we've definitely come a long way since Mickey Rooney in breakfast at tiffany's. Yeah Hollywood is still pretty white washed, but tv and theatre is still getting a lot better at showing characters as Non-Caucasian while not subjigating them to a funny accent. Aziz Ansari in "master of none" was perfectly relatable because it showed the struggle of ethnic actors trying to find work, but also the difference in culture between generations of parents and children. That being said, I wouldn't want a character added just for the sake of pandering the masses and ensuring their 80% white cast has a few non-white characters. I'm Latino as well, but still want to see characters not for the colour of their skin, but their ability to accurately portray a character. With gender, I feel Hollywood still has a hard time giving women a fair time. Not in pay, but with roles given as well. I'm in film school currently and have studied a lot about the industry as well as the actors who looks for jobs. Woman are still used as romantic interests, and other female fill in roles. And even when portraying the main strong powerful, independent, character, they are given such little flaw that they may actually seem... Lacklustre in a way. Again, this is why I think I appreciate animation sometimes over live action. Take Katara from avatar. (Also an amazingly cultured series) still a motherly character, but motivated, complex, and adaptable. I guess with all that being said, all I know is that it's gotten better over time. Media still caters to the masses, but the shows and films who aren't afraid to go past what the general audience wants, are often the ones that stand out more. And sometimes just a general openness to things can sometimes benefit in the long run. (I'm really looking forward to disney's moana) "Hey what if we made the male protagonists friend a girl who he has a perfectly plutonic relationship with. Or maybe a character doesn't have to be white. What if we just decide to set in Canada?" I personally like variety and try to look for it as much as I can.
KINGDOM HEARTS SOS Set in the Kingdom Hearts universe, SOS is the story that was never told. A plot had been set in motion 14 years before the events of the first Kingdom Hearts game, where a small group of heroes set out to do good in a time of dimensional chaos! Though the heroes have some assistance with allies from the future, events have been set in motion... Now, new wielders must rise up to restore the world order as well as discover the identity of the master planner before it's too late! Little do the protagonists know that this plot has been set in motion for quite some time... Past, Present, and Future are in the balance, as the ringleader behind this plot plans to do what no one has been able to do in the entire series; Seize Kingdom Hearts! To do this, he has his 3 apprentices; Aux, Nequa, and Vanitas, who go from world to world caring out his enigmatic blueprint.
Raisor is gone. Glen is gone. Beuce is gone. Karina is gone. "Is that the best you can do?" Aux mocked. "Even your strongest have lost hope. One after the other you try and fail. How long will you keep at this? Months? Years?" He took a moment to crack his neck and roll his shoulders back. "You've expunged all this effort and where has it gotten you? On the verge of extinction... I was always told that darkness was like the water. Once you've dived in, you either sink to the bottom, or let the current carry you. Unfortunately for the lot of you, I doubt you're very good swimmers." Aux cracked his knuckles menacingly. "But enough of the warm up, show me your A game. It's not rewarding if you just give up... I want the satisfaction of knowing that your last ounce of hope was drained by yours truly."
With several of the Disney heroes captured, the de-powered party made their way to the Disney Castle gate for an explanation on the sudden increase of darkness thought the Disney kingdom. Past the gates, the cornerstone of light was taken from out of its dwelling and propped onto the castle grounds. Surrounded by nothing but shrubbery, the cornerstone was accompanied by a familiar person; the faceless man in the white cloak. Dreamer! From their standpoint it had appeared that Dreamer was the one who removed the sacred relic. "What are you doing?!" Hikaru yelled out. Dreamer spun around to find the dozen or so of them facing the man. "Forgive me children... But if this world is going to ruin, the least I can do is preserve its core memory." His words weren't making too much sense at this time. "There is still hope. When you are lost in darkness, look for the beacon. It will call to you..." Hikaru's head spun in confusion. Disneytown was falling and they were all helpless t o stop it. And now someone who may have been a possible ally, as taking the worlds last hope of salvation. "What are you talking about?!" "Follow the beacon..." Dreamer disappeared with the cornerstone. It seems a lot of things disappeared on them before they could act on it. Once he left, the sky grew dim, above them the once baby blue sky had turned into a fusion of black and purple. He couldn't recall when or where, but Hikaru had seen this before... The world was being sucked into darkness... A vortex had begun to take shape with purple lightning excreting from the void. "Indescribable isn't it? All that power?" From behind one of the garden sculptures, Aux had arrived onto the scene. A long strand of thunder cracked from the dark sky. "I commend you all on your frivolous efforts this far. You have served my master well. But I'm afraid your usefulness has expired." Hikaru clenched his fist. The sight of his friend drew up all sorts of conflictions within himself. "I know you don't mean that. Whatever spell your under, I'll get you out of it. We both will," he motioned to Kaida. "Ahh Kaida. You seem to be doing well. With the rest of the order scattered, I suppose that makes you the only active member. My congratulations to you." "Stop mocking her! What do you want anyways? Your partner already took the cornerstone of light!" "The man in white? I'm afraid he's not affiliated with us. Just another rogue variable. But don't worry, we'll deal with him soon enough. His fate will be the same of yours." He began to slowly meander closer to the group. "There's no point in running. We've already drawn this out long enough. You are my final test. The both of you. The final candle I need to extinguish. Just as my master told me." "Aux. Please. Don't do this." "I don't have to do anything. But I felt I owed you that much... The darkness will suck away everything from this world, ourselves included. With no keybladers or vessel you are doomed to return to the void. I just wanted to ensure it happen personally. But by all means... If any of your... 'Friends' wish to stop me then please," Aux folded his arms proudly. "Demonstrate your newfound weakness."
I am Canadian so I spell things with the British spelling. (Despite the scary red underline telling me otherwise) Because words just aren't the same to me without "u"...
All members in Disneytown were now gathered at the square. Donald, Goofy, and the others had reconvened in the town. Everyone was still in confusion at the fact that there were now two Horaces standing face to face with one another. Not out of a time paradox, but from another book. Both genuine worlds in the universal timeline, meaning one of them was a fake. "Horace and... Horace?" Minnie repeated. "What is the meaning of this?" Pete bumbled in last as he tried to catch his breath. "Yeah, you heard da princess! Start talkin'!" Pete leaned over as he tried to catch his breath again. Donald and Daisy were found next to Goofy, his son, and Donald's cousins. Oswald and Mickey looked to each other unsure as well. "Mick, it's me. Please remember." the wasteland Horace begged. Mickey stared intently at him until he began to glow. The Horace that was working around Disneytown, was beginning to dim. "Curses... it appears my false persona must come to an end." The voice that came out of DisneyTown Horace was not that of a yokel, but now it was the voice of a wicked old woman's. DisneyTown Horace was surrounded by green smoke as the Horace revealed himself as a hunched over old woman in a black hooded cloak. Hikaru recognized it as being nearly dead set for the witch from Dwarf Woodlands. "The Witch!" he exclaimed. "Well now that's not very nice. I am Mizrabel. The Master of Illusion! and you! Need to learn some manners boy!" She waved her hand and threw a ball of dark energy at him, knocking him to the ground. He got up and dusted himself off quickly. As always he prepared himself for battle by summoning his keyblade. He whipped his hand to the side, but something went wrong. The keyblade wasn't materializing. ALL PLAYERS HAVE LOST THEIR BATTLE SKILLS/ABILITIES! "Wait... what's going on!" He asked confused. "What did you do?!" The witch cackled. "I haven't done a thing... You left the book and your hearts were reset." She motioned towards the book which was held tightly in Oswald's possession. Mickey and Oswald tried to whip out their keyblades, but failed in their attempt. "You have forgotten all the abilities you hold dear," she smirked. "Well if he ain't fighting, then I'll take a whack at yah sister!" Pete bumbled in for a charge, but with a wave of the witch's hand, he was transformed in an indigo colored gem before falling into her old, wrinkled clutches. "Such disrespect! I will take all your precious friends, savior!" she cackled as she looked to the other Disney heroes. She began first with Oswald who began to float off the ground and had the book fall out of his hands. "No! Ortensia!" He reached for the book with no avail. "What are you doing?!" Oswald began to glow before a bright light turned him into a red gem. Donald began to buzz before transforming into a blue gem. "Donald" Daisy cried before forming into a purple gem. "Maxie!" Goofy cried before turning into a green gem. "Dad!" Max replied before forming into an orange gem. The five gems joined pete's as they circled the magical wielding. "Oh no you don't bruja!" Panchito yelled out, whipping out his pistols. "You birds aren't needed!" With another wave, a magical wall as lifted prevented Donald's cousins from charging. "Ay Caramba!" Jose yelled, trying to knock away at the wall. "Please... why are you doing this?" Minnie cried. "For my collection of course..." the five gems floated around her as she emanated a green aura. "And of course for my group of associates. You serve quite the interesting prize as a princess of heart. "She waved her hand which formed a pink bubble around Minnie and causing it to rise. "Minnie!" Mickey yelled extending his hand. From out of nowhere, Pluto came to the rescue and barked as he prepared to charge against the witch. His efforts however were thwarted as he too was turned into a yellow gem and joined the others circling him. "Pluto!" Seven gems circled the witch now. "Don't worry, you'll join them shortly! She waved her hand expecting Mickey to turn into a gem as well, but nothing happened. "What? Curses. Seems I've used more manage than I can muster. But I'm sure you'll fix all that princess, hehehe." A dark portal opened behind her as she walked backwards into it, taking Minnie with her. "Mickey! Help!" "Minnie!" Mickey charged without thinking into the portal as it closed behind them. "Mickey wait!" But it was too late. All their Disey allies were gone save for Panchito and Jose. The wall loered and allowed them to meet up with the keybladers. "Dios mio, your keys... they are gone now?" Panchito empathized. Before they could chat more, heartless appeared. "Heartless? but they can't be here? Some one is messing with the cornerstone!" Panchito described, keeping his pistols on guard. "The what?" Hikaru asked. "Wait, is it the same one from Timeless- I mean... the past?" "Cornerstone of Light amigo. No twitchy twitchy monsters should be here. We need to check it out!" "Let us do it,"Hikaru offered. "But you can't fight!" Panchito blared. "Then you amigos gotta find it! We'll keep these guys busy!" Jose prepared his umbrella as Panchito reloaded his pistol.

Two questions; 1) What are yugioh cards? 2) Give me the yugioh cards.
