The trailers starts with a brief showing of Ven sitting on the throne in the chamber with chains, and he's unconscious. Conversation between Xehanort and Eraqus. Terra swung his keyblade, saying "my dream is to become a Keyblade Master" and Ven gave him this bored look while Aqua replied, "You mean 'our' dream." Goofy and Donald was standing guard at Yen Sid's Tower when suddenly there's an explosion, and they found Ven unconscious on the ground, holding in his hand a translucent bloob that looked like a paopu fruit but glowing in blue. Terra talking to Cinderella's Fairy Godmother; she asked him "do you have a heart that believes in dreams?" 'Superhero' Pete made an 'epic appearance' but Aqua gave him a bemused look and went, "Haah?" LOL Zack asked Aqua on a date. She got embarassed and shook off her arms and head, hahah. Hades was sneakily talking to Terra. In Neverland, Aqua was holding Ven's keyblade, going "This is...!" and Peter Pan told her Ven left it behind. Princess Aurora was in slumber and Terra was yelling out to someone, "What have you made me done!?" Ven was holding his head in pain on the ground, with Mickey being unconscious behind him. Master Xehanort was saying something to him? (didn't catch) FMV segment:The scenes of the screenshots you saw in the 30sec TV CM and magazines scans are shown.More of Terra and Aqua facing off each other.Vanitas and Ven reenacting the scene of Sora looking up to find Riku holding out his hand to him in KH1.Ven was running through a dark hallway and the walls had a hologram of Mickey in action.Terra was being chased by a flood of water in where looked like the hallway of Castle Oblivion. KH2FM Secret Ending scene in in-game graphics this time. Eraqus talking to Aqua. I can't remember the dialogues here but Aqua looked sad. Terra with young Riku at the beach; the sun was setting. Terra asked Riku, "why do you want to leave this world?" and Riku answered "I want to be stronger." Aqua with Mickey and young Kairi. Aqua mentioned she senses 'light' from Kairi (um, vague memory here) and Mickey told her Kairi's special. Ven running past Eleaus and Dilan, he was saying something to them. The two yelled out to Ven, "Wait!" Terra facing off with Braig. Braig has the big scar on his left cheek in this scene. (I assume Terra's the one who gave him that scar?) Ven and Even with Ienzo. Similar dialogue as in magazine scan, but better view of young Ienzo. Young Axel and Saix showed up; they were with Ven. Axel said, "Because we're friends, got that memorized?" Both of their hair styles are similar to their Nobody selves but shorter. Axel wore a scarf on his neck and was wearing orange(?) tank top (or looked like one) while Saix was wearing a short-sleeved blue training jumpsuit, with a crescent moon mark on his left chest. (HAHAHAH) They both look like they're about the same age as Ven? Maybe sliiiightly younger? And no, no scars/marks on their faces. Preview of minigames. Aqua's winning pose is so cute! Battle scenes: Aqua VS Vanitas. Terra VS Braig. Vanitas took his helmet off (but face is off screen) and Master Xehanort asked him, "How was Ven?" to which Vanitas answered, "I'll train him up." Vanitas (with helmet on) unconscious on the floor and Aqua was about to touch his helmet but Vanitas suddenly laughed hysterically. Terra VS Master Xehanort. Terra then roared and darkness start to accumulate? come out? of him. A baby(?) wrapped in clothing was seen on the trunk of the paopu tree that Sora, Riku and Kairi always hung out at. He looked like Ven? His eyes were drooping but there were stars twinkling in/around them. Little Sora saw a falling star in the night sky. Aqua's at a beach, a tear falling down her cheek. In the end, someone said, "his name is..." and the scene showed the back of KH2 Sora, sitting on the paopu tree.
