At the end of the BbSFM secret episode, we find Aqua in the Castle of Dreams after it fell into the Realm of Darkness and then, she vanishes from the story. It is not until Blank Points where we find Aqua at the Dark Margin talking to Ansem the Wise (which probably happens during Re:coded). Notice a huge gap in-between the two time frames. What do you think happened between BbSFM and Blank Points (Re:coded)? Leave theories and opinions.

Aqua wandered, the rest of the KH story occurred.

I don't even see how one can fight heartless for 11 years nonstop.

Time is a strange thing in the Realm of Darkness. There is no "time" as we understand it there. Or at least, people in the Realm of Darkness don't age.

 

Anyway, Aqua probably did just roam around beating up Heartless and surviving on Shadow Legs...Tastes like Chicken!

Time flows differently in the ROD. So she could have been there for less or more than 11 years by her perspective. She probably wandered around fighting heartless looking for a possible way out. 

That story was originally meant to be told in the as of now cancelled Birth by Sleep Volume 2.  It has been confirmed that time travels quicker in the dark realm since kh2 so she was wandering for more like six months to a year at most. Thats also why she doesn't age at all in eleven years; fifteen if you include her appearance when Ventus first shows up. Fun Fact: it was supposed to go coded -> bbs -> bbsv2-> kh3, but then re:coded and kh3d were squeezed in after kh2, and finally bbsv2 was abandoned. I suspect the dark realm worlds might have been dreaming as well like in kh3d to give it more life, but other than that I don't know. 

 

Actually, before bbsfm's release Nomura mentioned in an interview that it would connect to the next saga, or something along those lines, so after kh3 we might get more of an idea of what went on.

Uuuum BBS vol. 2?

Kh1, KH chain of memories, KH 358/2 days, KH2, & KH coded. That is all.

Aqua leveled the hell up, that's what happened

 

Rumors also indicate that she had a love affair with AtW, but no one really talks about that ;3

She walked around for hours, killed probably thousand of Heartless, saw fallen worlds and freaked out, saw fallen worlds exit the RoD and freaked out, is now chilling by the beach. 

 

Also:

 

What DID she eat all that time? I can't imagine the food in the RoD being edible, if there is any. 

Aqua probably tried to help the worlds that had been taken by the darkness. A futile effort, but she probably tried.

I have thought the same thing. I thought that the only reason Sora was able to release the worlds from darkness was because Aqua "loosened the chains" so the worlds could be released.

Huh. I want this to be canon.

Eventually, Nomura will reveal what Aqua did from Birth by Sleep Final Mix to Re: coded and this could be canon.

I mean, there is a precedent... Mickey and Sora had to.work together to close the door. Two people working from either side of a realm to lock a door... Aqua fought from one side, and Sora fought from the other. Its actually a really cool thought.

You know now as you mention it, it is pretty cool. The other side to the question I ask is what did Mickey and Riku do while they were in darkness. We briefly see Mickey keyblade in hand and determined to take on all of the forces in the darkness. We can assume he was looking for Aqua, but what else did he do? That's the question.

I was going to say that he may have actually found her, and that he worked alongside her, but then I realized that that's pretty unlikely. Well Mickey was also looking tp get the Kingdom Key D, correct?

Yes he did get the Kingdom Key D. He didn't find her because he himself said that he couldn't find a way to save them.
