KingdomHearts3

That was Ventus, not Aqua. Xehanort directly ordered Vanitas to take her life. Watch the battle cutscene between Terra and Xehanort and you will see.

I am so glad someone finally said it. All this talk about him possibly being saved or betraying Xehanort and so on makes no sense since he basically is a Xehanort and as mentioned darkness personified.

Please Noctis!!!! He is perfect!

Hey Jump Festa is next month. I’m wondering if KH3 will have one more final appearance before the final push to 1/25 and 1/29 of 2019.

It happens most if not all of the time on my laptop, but when I use my phone, it does not happen. Even if it does happen on my phone, it’s rare.

Not a surprise at all.

I think I found a bug. When I try to reply to a PM conversation with a friend, the text box will not appear. I click on where you would open the text box to type, but it will not open up and allow me to type.

I have just posted the Epilogue of Apocalyptic War and my personal Author's Note for all of you. Thank you all so much for this journey. Please take a look and leave feedback and do not be afraid to send me a PM on what you thought about this whole saga.

Epilogue My friends and I remained separate from our ancestors. They lived their own lives while we lived our own. We remained connected with them and whenever they they decided to return to us, they did so. I decided to live a normal life now. As I am older now, I know I need to have a career. I did end up going to college. Yes I was a bit older, but it was the right thing to do so I can attain a job for myself and start a career. Jack and Shane did the same and they went off to college too. Adrian went straight into the workforce and is doing his thing. Meanwhile, our former apprentices became masters after testing under the supervision of the Foretellers. They continued to lead the Keyblade academy training new students and grooming Wyatt to one day take over. Nick, my protege from karate class and successor, now has obtained power of the Keyblade and needed instruction. He met Anthony (Tony), James, and Logan, the respective successors of my friends Adrian, Shane, and Jack. The seven guardians of light and of the earth all went back to their own ways in their own worlds. With the Land of Departure having returned to its former glory, Ventus, Terra, and Aqua all returned to their original home. Sora, Riku, Kairi returned back to their island and Mickey went back to Disney Town. The Foretellers in subtlety continued to keep an eye on the worlds. Earth and all of the Realm of Light were restored completely and rebuilt again. However, the two became every closer along with Eos. All three now are connected. The citizens of each cannot really travel between, but they know of the existence of each and means of travel between each world are being developed. A people divided so long ago in primitive times now is reuniting once again. Invictus Verum was sitting on his throne with his guard of Ephemer, Skuld, Blaine, and Strelitzia by him. Master Polemistis of the Supreme Elite was there as well. He was there because the Keyblade Emperor summoned him there. "So the Realm of Light, Earth, and Eos, have all reunited once again," Invictus said. "Yes your majesty," Polemistis replied, "a people born from an Adam and Eve reuniting again after epochs of division and separation." "I never thought I would ever witness such an important phenomenon in human history," Invictus said. "I understand your amazement," Polemistis said, "but I would like to know why you called me here alone." He was alone as Kyrios, Kidemonas, and Aiton were not with him. Invictus wanted to speak with Polemistis alone. "Master Polemistis, I have been thinking," Invictus said, "my predecessors have always chosen someone to replace them carrying on a tradition that comes down to me today in protecting this world. I realized that I need a successor myself for before I know it, I too will come to a point where I must pass away. That is why I asked you to come here alone. I ask if you could succeed me and become the new Keyblade Emperor." Polemistis was shocked into silence. He did not know what to say. He had to think for a bit. "I understand what it carries," Invictus continued, "but I thought long and hard and realized that you are the perfect successor to rule over all Keyblade wielders." Polemistis was in silence for a bit longer and then spoke up. "I understand your reasons and I thank you for the consideration, but I must decline the request," Polemistis replied. Invictus now sat up straight more attentive. "Your majesty, I remembered something Ben taught me about power. I realized that I do not need power or rather more of it. I share the power Ben has obtained through Earth and through the Mark of Kye. I do not chase after power, those with dark intentions do. There is also another side why I say no. If I do this, I will have to dissolve the Supreme Elite and no long can be connected with my relative. Remember, I am basically an ancient grandfather of Ben's. I put my blood into Areti and it ran through his veins making him and I related. That made its way all the way down to Ben. I love him and I want to remain connected with him and never lose him. My brothers agree with this sentiment and we all made a promise to remain together. I cannot and will not break a promise." Invictus now was silent and needed a few moments, but he ended up nodding. "I fully understand," he said. "I understand your desires and intentions. I will find another to replace me. I do have another name as a replacement in case you decided against my request. I just rely upon you like the Keyblade wielders of yore did and those of now do and needed you here also to console me." Polemistis now tilted his head sideways now confused. "What troubles you?" Polemistis asked. "I once faced two Keyblade wielder twins," the emperor said, "and they were named Phobos and Deimos." "Those are the names of Greek gods whose names mean respectively 'fear' and 'terror'," Polemistis said. "And they were exactly like the Greek gods," Invictus said with some worry in his voice. "They were everything like those sons of Ares and I had to face them before. It was the only way that kept this throne safe from them and grabbing power. I fear that they will eventually come again and create their havoc far more widespread than our previous trials." "Worry not your majesty," Polemistis said. "Ben, Adrian, Shane, and Jack have all chosen heirs of the Supreme Elite to take up the mantle. They will be the ones who will protect the light." Invictus seemed calmer now. "I have heard their names," he replied. "Are these four new boys good?" "They can be masters within a few years," Polemistis said with a smile. Invictus nodded in response. "Thank you Polemsitis," he said. "Well, now I will call forth the heir who will be the new Keyblade Emperor and will work with the new Supreme Elite." A light corridor opened and a boy of about eighteen years of age appeared wearing clothing colored in a mix of dark and light colors with a majority being dark. He had dark hair with redish highlights and styled similarly to Polemistis. He said not a word and looked at Invictus alone. "Out of many, one is chosen," Invictus said, "and one is chosen out of many. Kyodaina, the great one, to you, the title of emperor shall be given. When my time draws near and my breath leaves me, then you shall take up this throne and become the ruler over all Keyblade wielders." "Yes your majesty," Kyodaina said in an older teenage boy voice. With this, a new era and new generation to protect the light has arrived. When the time comes, they will be ready and the light will be in good hands. Author's Note Wow...... I cannot believe that I reached the end of my saga. It all started with an idea. I knew someone in high school that was a big Kingdom Hearts nut. She dressed up as Marluxia and I asked about it and she got all excited. From there, we would talk Kingdom Hearts and talk about how real it would be and could be. That was where the idea came from. While the main characters I used are not real people, they are based on real people. I have written stories before, or tried to, but they ended up being unread and went nowhere. Then came this. I asked The Transcendent Key to read and share what I have written. Little did I realize the impact my saga would have on people who did read. I never thought I would create such an impact with other people. It is because of all of you that I have written this saga and completed it. It was an honor and privilege. Almost four years later at the posting of this author's note, this journey comes to an end. I am glad I went on it with you. Please, I am open to feedback and messaging on what you think. I hope you liked my saga that I have written. Please share with others. I am a bit sad this journey has ended, but I am glad I went on it with you the fans who have followed along all these years later. I am forever indebted to your loyalty and support. Thank you all. God bless you all. May your heart be your guiding key.

So I turned 22 today. Wow I am feeling old. I’m actually amazed how fast a year has gone by.

I assume everyone had a spooky Halloween and a fine All Hallow’s Eve. Now we enter November and the beginning (yes already) of the Christmas music.

Happy Halloween!

And on my birthday. Thanks Hashimoto for the perfect birthday gift.

It’s so cool that they are getting all these original actors to play these roles.

They better use this for whatever minigame they have in store for the Kingdom of Corona in KH3.

Not really surprised. Then again Disney probably has made clear that no title of there’s is to be rated T. I bet this will push the boundaries for an E10+ rating and flirt with T.

And so Chapter 56, the final chapter of Apocalyptic War has been posted and the My Kingdom Hearts Story saga has now concluded. Please take a look and leave feedback. I will post an Author's Note soon expressing my own thoughts on the journey I have had for all these years.

Chapter 56: A New Beginning I watched as the darkness came out of Luxu and watched him dissipate and disappear. I stared into that space for a while after he disappeared. It's over. He has been defeated. After all that has happened, all the pain, all the suffering, the blood, death, all the darkness, after everything, he has finally been defeated. That means the war is now over. No more fighting anymore. The forces of darkness and those that serve darkness now either surrender or follow the same fate as Luxu. Now, here I am the last one standing unchallenged and unrivaled in power. I hold the power of light now, I hold the balance in my hands, I am now the master of Kingdom Hearts... I am now the one to set things right. I floated down back to the normal level where all my friends are and where the war was being fought. It is now quiet and there is no more fighting. The warriors of darkness have mostly surrendered with a few deciding to run away only to be caught and forced to surrender. I slowly turn around and face my friends and allies. All of them looked back at me with slight smiles on their faces. The definitely noticed my clothing and the χ-blade that I am holding in my right hand. I unsummon it and walk towards my brothers Shane, Jack, and Adrian. They look me up and down and chuckle a bit with some smiles. "Seems you got some new clothes," Adrian said. "Looking fresh bro," Shane said. "Yeah it looks badass on you," Jack said. I smiled and nodded. I knew what time it was. It was that time. I first walk over to the Lucians all gathered together in their group. I looked at all of them with a small smile. They all stand at attention and bow like how they bow to Noctis, the king of Lucis. I go over to Gladio first. "Gladio... keep up with everyone could you?" I said with a smile. "Huh, everyone needs to not fall behind," he replied with a smile. We bumped wrists then and held it for a second or two. I smiled slightly choked up while Gladio was getting misty and his eyes were watering up a bit. I then turn to Prompto next. "Prompto... make some memories and be the memorymaker," I said. "I would like one just before you go if that's okay," he replied. I nodded and he grabbed his camera and he took a selfie. We nodded to each other; Prompto's smile turned upside down with now sorrow on his face. I went to Ignis next. "Guide them... be their wisdom... no matter what..." I said. "Your command is my oath... majesty," he said and then bowed to me. I nodded and we shook hands and held each other's for a second. He had a tear roll down his face as we held hands. Then I move on to Luna and bow to her. "Your majesty," I said. She walked up to me, gently grabbed the sides of my head, and kissed the top of my head. I stand up fully and she gently smiles at me. "The fate of our star rests with you now," she said. I nodded and then finally stopped at Noctis. He was looking down and away and looked antsy. He is not the one to be sentimental. "Your maj-" I said before he cut me off. "No formalities," he said and looked into my eyes. "Noct... please..." I acquiesced. I just looked at him after than while he continued to look down and away and be antsy. "I'll miss you..." I said. He just nodded. I raised my fist up so we could bump wrists, but instead he stood there and did not do anything. I felt a little stung and put my fist down. However, just as I was about to turn, suddenly, he just ran up to me and embraced me tightly. I was definitely caught off guard especially since Noct is not one to hug. I embraced him tightly as well. "Thank you... for everything," he said softly into my ear. I could feel him starting to sob a little. I had to keep my composure for obvious reasons. Then we let go of each other and give each other one more nod. He had tears rolling down his eyes. I then turn and walk to the Foretellers. They all face me and I face them. Then they all stand straight with hands at sides and bow like I am their master. I bow to them in return as they were my superiors and made me master. All those wounds have now healed and I want them to know that. "Thank you all," I told them. I then walked up to Master Gula. "I remember learning how your ancestor and you have prayed that I and Polemistis would one day forgive you," I said. "We did. I did. In fact, I am proud you were my master." He now really got choked up and we hugged each other. "Never have I been more proud to have a student like you," Gula said softly. We then let go and I turn towards Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. They all had sadness on their faces. "Donald, Goofy... protect the key," I told them while glancing down at Mickey referring to that key. They nodded at me and understood who I meant. I then bent down on one knee in front of Mickey. "Mickey... thank you," I said. He reached his hand out to me. "See ya real soon," he said. I grabbed it and then hugged him. I then let him go and then turn to face Invictus and his guard Ephemer, Skuld, Strelitzia, and Blaine. They all bowed to me the same way they bowed to the Keyblade Emperor. I nod at them in return. "Master Polemistis, one more thing," Invictus said. "There is one last thing that was foretold that I did not tell you or the rest of the Supreme Elite: When the light is restored, then will the Keyblade Emperor become the symbol of the greater. When you fulfill your purpose, then I will become nothing more than a symbol of a greater ruler. My title of Keyblade Emperor will become symbolic while the true title become yours." I nodded in understanding. "Guide them Invictus," I said. "Of course, your majesty," he replied and bowed. I looked at Ephemer, Skuld, Strelitzia, and Blaine, and I nodded to them and they returned it. Then I reach the seven guardians of Earth and they bow to me. I nod in return and move on to the rest of the seven guardians of light. I first address Ventus, Terra, and Aqua. They all have tears in their eyes. I don't say anything to them and we only group hug. "I always will call you my role models," I said to them. They don't reply, but only squeeze me tighter. Then we let go, nod to each other, and I move on to Sora, Riku, and Kairi. "Kairi, keep them on the straight and narrow," she smiled and nodded. She then gives me a charm, but it is different than what she gave Sora. "Here, your own charm made for you," she said. I now shed a tear for Kairi's kindness. "It will be with me always," I said. I then put it in my pocket and then walk over to Riku. "Be the way to the dawn for everyone," I said to him. "Thanks Ben," he said nodding. He remained stoic, though I could tell he was struggling because I saw his lower lip quiver. We grabbed hands and then we let go. I walk over to Sora and he is basically weeping in front of us all. I now was starting to really struggle keeping myself together. "Sora..." I said. He then wiped away the tears and pulled himself together. "No, I'm okay," he said. He then looked me up and down. "No, you'll come back. I know you will." I just smiled and we embraced. We then let go and I approach my friends last, but not least. I group hug all of them together. "I love you all," I told them. They remained silent and we let go. Behind me, a portal opens up. I know where it will lead me; it will take me to a part of the Cross Between Worlds where I am truly at the center of all and there I restore the light. I see the portal and take a few steps toward it. I look behind me at everyone; they all smile at me with some nodding in encouragement. I smile back at them, face the portal entrance, and step through. I come out and there is nothing, but black around me. I am in a different part of the cross between worlds. I turn around to face where I came from. A side of me wishes I could see them one last time, but alas, it already happened and the portal is gone. I exhale and think and then pray out loud. "Lord God, all this power I have within me," I said, "all that I have been given, I did not go seek it. I have been granted it. Lord, I do this not for myself, but for everyone who relies on me. You said that there is no greater love than to lay down a life for a friend; I do this for everyone because I love them all. Give me peace and hope that I will see my family and friends again when you come to judge the world." After I prayed, I then spoke out loud about my family and friends staring down into space. "I love you all, mom, dad, sis, guys, everyone," I said. "You do not need to sacrifice anymore. Now-" I then snap my head up "-it's my turn." I then snap my right hand out summoning the χ-blade and then I send out an orb of white light. Then I send out another and another, more and more where they spread all over the place and were rushing everywhere around me. I flowed like I was dancing sending all the light within me out all around. The light rushed into every world and began beating back and destroying the darkness that covered every world. Then after a minute or two, I then gather my power together, concentrate it, point the χ-blade up and then, I send a wave of white light out all around me and all the darkness vanishes away and all worlds are purified and cleaned. All worlds are saved and the Realm of Light is free. I then exhale and feel completely exhausted and worn out feeling emptied with nothing more to give. Then, light comes down and shines on me from above. I look up and see white light shining on me with a silhouette like a heart. I then am enveloped with light and it shines all around me. I close my eyes and feel the warmth envelop me as I become one with Kingdom Hearts. I open my eyes and see nothing more than a white landscape around me. There are no earth-like features. All is just light around me. I see I have now become one with the true Kingdom Hearts. Then I am spoken to in the ancient Keyblade wielder's tongue. "Well done, faithful servant of the light," the voice said. I knew how to respond as I too speak in the language. "Who are you?" I asked. "I am the heart of all," it replied. "Are you the true Kingdom Hearts," I asked wondering if I truly am speaking to Kingdom Hearts. I know it has a consciousness of its own as I wrote about it in my journal. "Yes I am. You Master Polemistis have fulfilled everything foretold and have fulfilled your purpose." "What do I call you?" "Call me master." Made sense since I was subordinate to the light. "Master, I ponder everything that has happened in recorded history," I said. "I wonder about when the first Keyblade War happened all the way until now. Why was it that the Master of Masters foresaw it all?" "Defending the light is not a selfish task, but a selfless one," Kingdom Hearts replied. "When the fight over my light becomes selfish, to gain status over others, dark desires enter the heart and stain it. When those who have power over others defend the light in their own way and believe their way alone is the right way, then will division and chaos ensue." "How then does one defend the light?" I asked. "To defend the light, one must not do so for themselves," it replied. "The light must be defended because they wish to save others, not just to save themselves. You understand this well, do you not?" I remembered the gospel verses very well. Jesus did say "whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for my sake will preserve it" and the only reason why I did all of this for the past few years is because I desire to save the universe and save others. "I must show you something," Kingdom Hearts told me. Then in front of me, a painting made in the same style as the painting of the prophecy in the Citadel in Insomnia appeared and on it, a person holding what appears to be an "X" shaped key sword pointing up in his right hand while his left hand is sending light down. Below, three people look like his friends with key shaped swords are commanding many others to charge. towards the lower parts of the painting, evil looking people and creatures are being beaten back by dozens of people holding key shaped swords. "This painting is the prophecy foretelling how the one I will choose to save the world will defend it by leading forth other servants of light in battle against the darkness." It made sense to me. It looks like it was painted a long time ago, but never was revealed to anyone and so this is what became of it. Then it disappeared from my sight. "Master, now that I saved the universe from darkness, what now?" I asked. "You have become one with me and have restored the balance in the image of what you saw fit, which I too see fit," it replied. Now, you will watch over all and keep the balance of light and darkness. I assume you will accept this, yes?" I then thought some more about this and what I do now. I look at the χ-blade in my hand and think. I now have the counterpart to Kingdom Hearts, I am one with Kingdom Hearts, and now I watch over the universe and forge the balance as how I see fit and it sees fit. I also now have all the power in existence in my control and command. I basically became a god. The more I think about it, the more I do not like it at all. Suddenly, something that I once said came into mind: it is up to us whether to accept fate or not. "Master, I have to be honest, I do not like this at all," I said. "I understand very well what fate had in store for me, but I did not desire power. I basically became a god and I refuse to be treated like one. The first commandment of the Ten Commandments is as follows: I am the Lord your God, you shall not have other gods before me. I would be the very thing God himself commanded not to exist. I am a faithful Roman Catholic and I followed the words of Jesus: no greater love than to lay down a life for a friend. I laid down my life so my family, friends, and others can live. I do not want this power at all and I stand before you refusing this power. I understand all that was foretold before, but I was foretold to have my body destroyed by darkness too. I decide my fate, God decides my fate, not prophecies. All I have heard were foretellings of gaining power. It was power that was the source of the first Keyblade War and it was the source of the second Keyblade War and the Apocalyptic War; I will not repeat these mistakes ever again." There was silence for a little while. I wondered if I disappointed Kingdom Hearts. Then it spoke to me again. "Such wisdom Master Polemistis," Kingdom Hearts said. "May your request be granted unto you." Then a bright flash of light surrounding me and I found myself back with my friends and looking at them. Everything in the Cross Between Worlds was clean and all the worlds have been purified from darkness. My friends and allies all gasped and all cheered and ran to me. I started hugging all of my friends Adrian, Shane, and Jack and then everyone else. I was so overjoyed seeing everyone again. Then I was given a chance to explain. "How did you come back?!" Adrian asked. "Well, first, a little special guest," I said. Then behind me, the true Kingdom Hearts shown in its glory in its heart shaped silhouette. Everyone gasped again at the sight. Then I explained. "First, I was shown a painting in the style of the one in Lucis," I said. "It depicted me with the χ-blade in hand summoning the power of light and telling everyone to charge against the darkness. Then, I learned that the reason why defending the light wrought so much chaos and ruin was because the first Foretellers defended the light out of self-interest. In order to defend the light, you have to be selfless and desire to save others and nothing more. A third thing is this: it was power that was the source of it all. The wars of before started all because of a lust for power and me becoming one with Kingdom Hearts meant I gained power. I basically became a god. There is nothing in gaining power, no value, no satisfaction, nothing that will gain me anything. I remember that we made a promise in Epcot a while back to defend the least among us. I did not promise to gain power to save everyone. I even remembered something that Sora clearly remembered before I did: we decide whether to follow fate or not." I smiled in his direction and he grinned and nodded at me. "So what are you going to do now?" Invictus asked. I summoned the χ-blade and then sent it behind me up into the air to float. "You remember that this is composed of the lights from the Disney parks and lamp right?" I said. "It is time they have their light back. I then summoned Ultimate Apocalypse and in a quick flash, I slashed through the χ-blade. The weapon then was covered in light and then split apart into its pieces. The seven lights returned back to every Disney park and Walt's lamp while the darknesses just disappeared and dissipated with nothing to supplement their existence. Kingdom Hearts then spoke to us all now in plain English. "Polemistis has made very clear his intentions and that is why I let him return," it said. "I also recall a very private intention from his heart." My brothers looked at me confused. "I have always wanted to have our ancestors to live their own lives," I confessed. Then suddenly, four flashes of light like bullets entered into us and from within us, the hearts of our ancestors came out and then light covered the hearts and once again our ancestors came to be like before. They stand before us as complete beings. They look around again seeing that they once again stand among us as one of us. Kingdom Hearts then spoke again. "As separate as the Supreme Elite and their descendants are, so shall they also be as connected," it said. "Whenever you wish, you can unite once again. Both ancestor and descendant can live independently while remaining ever united and ever connected." "Well Ben, you have shown us why you and your friends have surpassed us once again," Polemistis said to me. Kingdom Hearts then gave a last message. "Well done, faithful servants of light," it said. "You will continue to pass your legacy down to your own heirs. Continue to always guard against evildoers and always stand ready and vigil." Then the heart shaped light silhouette disappeared and multiple light corridors opened up. "These get us home," I said. We then bade farewell to all of our friends the seven guardians of light and the Foretellers. Everyone in the Cross Between Worlds now was going home to their own worlds. My friends and I, the seven guardians of Earth, and the Keyblade Emperor and his guard went through a corridor and came out at the Emperor's Pillar. Invictus took his seat at his throne and the rest of us just looked at him waiting for him. "Congratulations, all of you," he said. "You have done well. Now we must consider our own successors to carry on protecting the light." "Invictus, thank you," I said bowing. My friends and I bowed with the Supreme Elite. "No, I need to thank you," he said. "You have said us all and we are forever in your debt. I will be sure those after me know to tell the story." I nodded in thanksgiving and he returned it. My friends and I bade farewell to the guard of Ephemer, Skuld, Strelitzia, and Blaine, and went home in a light corridor. We come out back at the academy where we see everyone inside. We go into the school and everyone just cheers for our return. We celebrate with them and explain what happened all this time. Then later after celebrating, my friends and I had a moment's peace. "Darkness won't be gone for long," I said. "That's why we all have successors," Adrian said. "They will continue what we started and keep our legacy going," Shane followed. "I think they will be ready for it," Jack said. "We'll be ready too whenever they need us," I said. We gave each other a big hug and then bade farewell to our ancestors. They bowed to us. "Remember, we always will have each other," Polemistis said. "Let's make a promise that we will find a way to return back to each other no matter what." We all agreed. I then went back home in a light corridor after saying goodbye to my friends, my brothers. I come out of the corridor and see my house all okay with everything as I last saw it. I walk up the driveway and enter though the garage and then through the door leading into the laundry room, and then into the kitchen. "Mom? Dad?" I said. Suddenly, I hear quick steps and my family is rushing into the kitchen with eyes all red and tear filled. They all grab me and start hugging and kissing me. I do the same now crying myself. "I'm so happy you're home!" mom said. I am happy too. Never have I been happier to return back home to my normal life.

I am reading something for homework and decided to hear some red noise to help me focus. The more I listen to it, the more it sounds like the sounds of the Keyblade Graveyard.

Can merchandise including the chess set seen in the trailers with instructions on how to play?

Do I feel old. I actually remember seeing the site for the first time in its first version. That was an extremely long time ago. It has been a journey all these years later.

DChiuch did an awesome job with the new site! I love it! It’s sleek, modern, and I love the new features. Awesome job!

They finally showed Zeus. Oh I love it!

I love it actually. I think the staff did an amazing job. Looks sleek and modern looking. Kudos to them, they deserve the credit.

Wow! I absolutely love the new KH13.com look! I tip my hat to the staff completely. Awesome job!
