I just watched HMK's analysis Video to the trailer and he said so wring very interesting, that Mickey confesses secrets about Aqua in the Realm of Darkness. Now this has got me wondering, what will actually happen to her in this game? I've got a feeling that this game will be very dark and honestly I'm not expecting things to improve for Aqua, otherwise why keep the detail secret?

Something has been bothering me. In all the KH games the secret boss has foreshadowed the next game: 1) KH- Mysterious Figure- was Xemnas the main antagonist from KH2 2) KH2 final mix- the Lingering Will turned out to. Be Terra a main protagonist from BBS 3) BBS- Mysterious figure- turned out to be Young Xehanort, the main Antaginist from 3d. Now we come to 3d where the secret boss was Julius. The pattern seemed to have ended. I mean it didn't seem to add up to foreshadow the plot. However Julius as has been mentioned comes from the short ' The Runaway Brain'. I won't spoil the complete plot, however it does portray Mickey in a ' darker sense'. Now we have been told that after 3d Mickey confesses secrets he had previously kept hidden. Let's go back to to 358/2 days and KH2. Mickey is not unfamiliar to making secrets, however as in the case of Riku, that was almost understandable. Now if people remember in the original BBS Volume 2 trailer we saw Mickey in the Realm of Darkness with the Star Seeker keyblade, so one would feel Mickey either ran into Aqua or found out what happened. Now seeing as they are friends, you'd think she'd be rescued too etc So that hints at something utterly tragic potentially in the makings here, now going back to the original theme about secret bosses foreshadowing, could Julius represent the ' dark secret' Mickey is going to reveal to Sora etc? If so, this begs more issues, such as what does he know? Why didn't she escape? Has she escaped? What does Xehanort know? Who will save her? The list does go on. Thanks for reading and I hope this makes sense to people

Here's my entry!!!: Click image in spoiler for full size: I wasn't planning on drawing any KH fanart for a long while but this contest forced my hand lol. I love the over the top-ness of the final boss battles so I incorporated things from them in the background. At the top those shooting stars represent the other characters; From left-to-right: Eraqus, Ventus, Terra, Xion, Riku, Roxas, Kairi, Namine, Donald, Goofy, and the last represents Data Sora, Data Riku, and Data Namine. I glad I saw the contest right from the first day, that gave me enough time to work on it a few hours per day and get everything I wanted into it.^^ I want to make another simpler picture but I probably won't finish in time. I'll still post it anyway though. Tell me what you guys think!! For my other art visit my DeviantART gallery: http://soulscore.deviantart.com/gallery/

Note: I'm not entirely sure where to put this, but since it reads more like a fanfic, I decided to put it here. So what if Nomura does the unthinkable, and decides to make Riku pay the ultimate price for his friends? I'm not saying it will happen, but if it does, how would it possibly play out? Knowing him, it would be pretty emotional. So this is my speculation about what Riku's death might look like.Scene: The Keyblade Graveyard. On top of a cliff, Kingdom Hearts suspended overhead.Scenario: Near the end of the great battle, Riku and Sora are fighting Xehanort. Xehanort momentarily gains the upper hand and brings Sora to his knees. As he is about to land a finishing blow, Riku steps in and takes the blow instead. He falls at Sora's feet. Sora, enraged at seeing his best friend felled, gains enough strength to continue the fight and destroy Xehanort for good. The worlds are now safe again. Sora turns back to his friend, as the other Keyblade wielders climb up the cliff to meet him. Riku's deathThe silvery light of Kingdom Hearts shines down on the cliff's top like a swirling heart shaped pool. All that could be heard in the dead silence of the battle's aftermath, was the wind blowing through the dusty landscape. Just outside of the circle of Kingdom Hearts' light lay a still figure-barely breathing. Everyone runs to his side. Sora, still numb by what had just happened, kneeled down at Riku's head. Kairi kneels next to him. The others stand a little away. Sora put his hand on Riku's shoulder, gently shaking him awake."Hey, hey Riku? We did it! Xehanort's gone. The worlds are safe again." Riku slowly opened one eye. He looked at his best friend with pride."I knew you could do it. I never doubted you for a moment Sora." Riku's voice was low, and faint. He coughed a little. Sora, trying to keep calm and positive, smiled." We....we can all go home now. Together. You, me, and Kairi. We can sit on the beach and watch the sunset together like we used to." Kairi looked at Sora. Though he had a smile on his face, she could hear the strain and near panic in his voice. Riku did not look good, and she knew Sora saw that. Riku gave a weak laugh. He opened both his eyes and looked at them."Well," he managed to say, "you'll have to save me a spot in the sand then. I don't think I'll be joining you." Sora's smile faltered."What...what do you mean? Of course you'll be there with us. Don't say things like that!" There was now real sadness in Sora's eyes. Riku looked up at him. He put a quivering hand up to his shoulder, where Sora's own hand was."Sora," he said weakly, "you've grown up so much in such a short time......you've had help from so many friends, and you've also done may other things on your own as well. But Sora, I can't be by your side all the time. There comes a time, in everyone's life, where we must learn to walk alone. That doesn't mean we can't have friends anymore. Our friends will always be cheering for us and we can call on them if we need their help." Kairi began to cry quietly. Sora, beginning to break down, shook his head."But I can't go alone with out you! We've always been a team. We've always been together. And besides..." at this, he tried to smile," who will I have to save me when I get in trouble?" Riku smiled."You'll be ok Sora. I have faith in you. And remember, the ones we love never really leave us. They can always be found-right here." Riku pointed to Sora's chest-where his heart was. "That's where I'll be. In your heart, Sora." Sora put his hand to his chest."My heart." he muttered. He looked back at his friend. "It still won't be the same without you......" Riku smiled. He looked over to Kairi. Her eyes were swimming in tears, her head bowed. Riku placed a hand in hers. She looked up at him. "There, there. Don't cry for me Kairi. I'll be in your heart too. You'll find me there, and......" he pulled Kairi closer to him,"Kairi, take care of him." he whispered. Kairi nodded. "I will." she said through her tears and squeezed his hand. Riku then looked up. "Is that Kingdom Hearts?" he said softly."Yes." said Sora."I want to see it." Lea came up quietly behind them. He knelt down."I'll take you to it." he said."Thank you Lea." Riku closed his eyes as Lea lifted him up in his arms. He carried him into the pool of moon-like light, and laid him back down in the center, right under Kingdom Hearts. Sora and Kairi resumed their positions at Riku's side. Lea and the others gathered behind them. Riku slowly opened his eyes again, but they looked as if they were seeing something far off....something, that no one else could see." So that's Kingdom Hearts..."he sighed. " It's so beautiful.....and big. I've never seen anything like it." Just then, a large keyhole appeared in the center of the great heart shaped moon. It was rimmed with gold. A sound like a lock turning was heard and a ray of white light shown down on Riku, Sora, and Kairi. Riku's eyes grew wide and he gasped softly. A big smile spread across his face. He chuckled." Wow. It's so...amazing, and bright. I can......I can hear music.......singing." Sora and Kairi look at each other. They can't hear anything. Riku continues to smile.(from Riku's point of view, we can hear music. Something like a cross between The Promised Land from FF7: AC and End Of The World from KH1.) "They're so beautiful....." he raises a shaking hand toward the Kingdom Hearts. A bright white tendril of pure light appears and touches Riku's hand. It envelopes his hand and makes it's way down his arm, pulling him up as it does. Riku is lifted off the ground and carried toward Kingdom Hearts, the tendril of light wrapping itself around him. Sora, Kairi, and the rest watch on in awe as he is taken up. Soon, he is lost in light, and a sound like a great door is shut, and a lock turning once more. The golden rimmed keyhole is seen again, and then it fades away. Silence once more. A cry tears through the air. The full weight of reality hit Sora like a brick wall. His best friend in all the worlds wasn't with him anymore. He would be going home without him. Sora couldn't hold it in any longer. He was on his hands and knees crying bitterly. Kairi held him, her head on his shoulders, herself crying. Behind them, Lea looked up at Kingdom Hearts, his lips were quivering. Terra turned away, his hand to his forehead. King Mickey looked down at his Keyblade while tears rolled down his face. He felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see Aqua looking back at him. She tried to give him a reassuring smile, but tears stained her face also. Sora was half blinded by tears, sorrow, and pain. His soul was in turmoil. But from the midst of his inner chaos, a warm peace began to be felt. It was like a ray of sunshine piercing through rain clouds. And Sora heard a voice speaking from his heart."Sora-" it said," C'me on, I thought you were stronger than that. Remember what I said, I'm with you in your heart.......always." And despite his tears, Sora smiled. His breathing slowed, and his hearts slowed. A peace came over him. Still sobbing, he looked up at the heart-moon and put his hand to his heart again."Yeah, you are with me....and everyone else too....forever. Thank you, Riku." Sora got up and brushed himself off. He looked at Kairi who smiled and put her arm around his waist. Sora looked at those gathered around them."Let's go home." he said. And together, they walked down the cliff.Keep in mind, this is just a "what if" scenario of mine. I do think though that if Riku or someone else were to die, it might not be quite as emotionally intense as what I've written. I've just had this scene floating around in my head for a while, so I thought I might share it with you all. Hope you liked it!Alicia
