Aqua on Destiny Islands, what? How? Did she make out of the Realm of Darkness?

Nope.

Many people believe that Aqua somehow made out of the Realm of Darkness because the new 2.8 trailer showed Mickey and her on Destiny Islands, which is in the Realm of Light.

But what if I told you that's all not true?

Remember in the original Kingdom Hearts when Destiny Islands was swallowed by the darkness? Of course. This is the time Destiny Islands was brought to the Realm of Darkness.

What if in this present state Aqua finds the islands? Think about it. The sky in the world looks unusually red and the islands themselves look like when you fought Ansem on them.

So how about it?

1. Uhm, the sky is blue, both in that screenshot and when you fight Ansem SOD in KH1. So, I don't know where you're getting a red sky. (EDIT: Ok, I see the red sky, but it's only at a certain point against the Devil's Wave boss fight. Other than that, it's always blue.)
2. The End of the World in KH1 was in the Realm of Light, not the Realm of Darkness. As we see at the end of KH1, Sora, Donald, Goofy and Ansem SOD are on the outside of the Door to Darkness, with Riku and Mickey passed it in the Realm of Darkness.

We know that Destiny Islands was swallowed by darkness, so it would make sense for Aqua to find it in the Realm of Darkness, just like Castle of Dreams, Dwarf Woodlands and Enchanted Dominion. The thing is, that area where we see Mickey and Aqua (in the cutscene) looks exactly like the place Sora fought Darkside and Ansem SOD at the end of KH1, therefore, the Realm of Light. So, if they are the same place, that means Aqua at one point escaped the Realm of Darkness. But, we know from Blank Points that she was still there after the events of KH2. So, this definitely brings up some confusion and some mystery.

Oh, I just thought it was some sort of illusion like with Terra and Ven, but that works too.
