End of the World
| A few months later--- | |
| (You lie alone in the Keyblade Graveyard as it rains.) | |
| I'd thought the end would be a horrific scene where the whole world burned away to nothing. |
Battle of the Keyblade Wielders
| A few days ago--- | |
| (You head to the Fountain Plaza with Chirithy and see two other wielders in an argument.) | |
| Chirithy: | Not again, sheesh.... |
| (You start to head over to the other wielders but Chirithy stops you.) | |
| Chirithy: | Leave them be. I know how you feel, but if you start you'll never stop. |
| This has been happening too often lately, hasn't it? Honestly, what'll become of us, I wonder… | |
| (Suddenly the other wielders call forth their Keyblades and prepare to fight.) | |
| Player: | ! |
| (You rush towards them and block the collision.) | |
| Chirithy: | [Player!] |
| (Chirithy rushes over and scolds the wielders.) | |
| Chirithy: | How could you raise your Keyblade against an ally! |
| Wielder A: | An ally? Don't make me laugh. This piece of work was stealing our Lux. |
| Wielder B: | Excuse you! We're the ones protecting the light. What if your Union is the one betraying us to the darkness, hm? |
| Wielder A: | What if YOUR Union is the dark one stealing the light, hm! |
| Chirithy: | Wait! Even if we're from different Unions, we're allies who share the same goal, and fighting is wrong! |
| Wielder B: | You stay out of it! |
| (Skuld rushes in.) | |
| Skuld: | (Skuld rushes in.) |
| Chirithy: | Skuld! |
| Wielder B: | Oh yeah? What Union are you from? |
| Skuld: | That's completely irrelevant. |
| Our enemies are the dark monsters. Keyblades are not something to be raised against human beings! | |
| Wielder A: | Human or not, anyone stealing light is a creature of darkness, no different from a monster! |
| Skuld: | How can you say that! |
| (Other wielders approach, angrily.) | |
| Wielder C: | The fight's already started. |
| (Skuld backs away. A voice calls out.) | |
| ???: | That's right... |
| All: | ! |
| Aced: | The only thing we can trust now is the unity of our Union. |
| Someone may be a fellow Keyblade wielder, but we cannot divine whether their heart is dark or not. | |
| Warriors of absolute strength, the strength of a Union is not the amount of light it has collected. | |
| A strong Union is justice itself. | |
| That is something that can only be proved through battle. | |
| Skuld: | But…! |
| Aced: | Do you object? |
| Aren't you people part of the gang Ava's organising behind our backs, the Dandelions? | |
| Ava's actions are also, in the end, a power display. How is it any different? | |
| Skuld: | ... |
| (You approach Aced.) | |
| Player: | I'm not a Dandelion. |
| Aced: | Oh, then what is your Union? |
| Player: | [Union.] |
| (Master Aced summons his Keyblade.) | |
| Aced: | Raise your Keyblade. |
| Player: | ! |
Inevitable Decisive Battle
| (Aced defeats you easily in battle. You collapse and Skuld and Chirithy hasten to your side.) | |
| Aced: | You fail as a Keyblade wielder. |
| (Another voice calls out.) | |
| ???: | Put away your Keyblade, Aced. |
| (Master Ira approaches.) | |
| Aced: | Ira... |
| Ira: | You are supposed to be a Master, how could you harm a Keyblade wielder! |
| (Aced withdraws his Keyblade.) | |
| Aced: | Bah! I only went so far as to test their strength. |
| Ira: | I came here because I sensed your bloodthirst. |
| Aced: | A final battle is no longer avoidable. |
| Invi, Gula, Ava, and you, too, Ira. All desperate to collect more Lux than the other Unions. | |
| The battle had already begun. It was you people who aggravated the situation. | |
| Ira: | Are you saying we must check them by force? |
| Aced: | In the end, it's a strong leader who controls the world. |
| It's not Lux I'll gather more of than anyone—it's soldiers. | |
| Strong organisation is imperative. When it comes to maintaining the balance, there need only be one leader. | |
| I'll banish the four of you, and unify all the Unions under me. | |
| Ira: | Don't overestimate yourself, Aced. You aren't that strong. |
| Let me show you how pride comes before a deadly fall. | |
| Aced: | I'll be waiting in the land of the final battle! |
| Skuld: | Master Ira. |
| He said something about the land of a final battle… | |
| What's going to happen? | |
| Ira: | The agreed time is nearly upon us. |
| Skuld: | So this is what Lady Ava meant… |
| Ira: | It can no longer be avoided. |
| Skuld: | But…! |
| Lady Ava said there will be no victor in that battle. So why are you going to fight? | |
| Ira: | Well… So that a victor is not born. |
| Prepare yourselves. | |
| (Master Ira leaves through a portal. You faint.) | |
| Skuld: | [Player!!] |
Vision
| (You find yourself in the Keyblade Graveyard.) | |
| Player: | This place, it's… |
| (Looking around, you see shadowy figures standing among the countless Keyblades scattered throughout the battleground.) | |
| Player: | Who… |
| What is this… | |
| ! | |
| (The figures vanish, and a bright light shines upon you. You look up at it.) | |
| Player: | This is… |
Skuld's Anxiety
| (It’s pitch black. Voices are speaking.) | |
| ???A: | I wonder if they're okay. |
| ???B: | Yeah, they pushed themselves, didn't they? |
| (You were taken to your room in Daybreak Town. Chirithy and Skuld watch over you as you rest.) | |
| Chirithy: | Thank you, Skuld. |
| (Skuld shakes her head.) | |
| Skuld: | At any rate, the atmosphere gets worse every day. I see little stand-offs everywhere. |
| Chirithy: | Yeah… |
| Skuld: | How are the Masters? |
| Well, I suppose what happened just now tells us all we need to know... | |
| Chirithy: | Yeah… They've already fallen apart. |
| I don't know what happened, but they've all completely changed. | |
| Skuld: | Yes… There really isn't any way to avoid a battle at this point, is there. |
| (You open your eyes.) | |
| Player: | Ephemera. |
| Chirithy: | Ah! |
| Skuld: | Oh, great! You're awake. |
| Player: | Have you been able to see Ephemera? |
| Skuld: | Not yet, but apparently he is doing things under the direction of Lady Ava. |
| I've been trying to persuade as many Keyblade wielders as I can to turn away from the final battle. | |
| But most people just aren't believing in the end of the world... | |
| In fact, even the Dandelions are starting to get anxious without Lady Ava around, and morale has started to drop... | |
| Player: | What's this about Lady Ava? |
| Chirithy: | The truth is, Lady Ava's been missing recently… |
| But, maybe Lord Gula knows something. | |
| The two of them are friends, after all. | |
| Player: | Let's go ask Lord Gula. |
| Chirithy: | You have to rest more! |
| Player: | There's no time. |
| Skuld: | ...You're right. |
| (Chirithy is reluctant to let you go.) | |
| Chirithy: | But. |
| Player: | I'm fine, Chirithy. |
| (You pat his head.) | |
| Chirithy: | Okay… |
Master Gula's Suggestion
| (The three of you head into an abandoned warehouse in search of Gula.) | |
| Skuld: | It's quiet. |
| (A voice calls out.) | |
| ???: | Do you have business with me? |
| (Master Gula reveals himself.) | |
| Chirithy: | Lord Gula! |
| Gula: | If you're skipping out on collecting Lux to come here, then you're Ava's Dandelions, aren't you? |
| Skuld: | Ah, yes. |
| Gula: | Are you looking for Ava? |
| Skuld: | We are. |
| Gula: | And what will you do when you see her? |
| Will you beg her to fix the situation with the final battle we're heading towards? | |
| Not even Ava can pull that off. | |
| Or are you going to ask about the situation? | |
| Even if you knew, you wouldn't be able to do anything. | |
| Skuld: | But I can't twiddle my thumbs and wait for the end of the world. |
| I'll make as many of my friends as possible avoid the final battle. | |
| That's the mission of the Dandelions. | |
| Gula: | Well, you'll certainly have as many as Ava has collected. |
| You're just like her. | |
| Ava: always right. | |
| But, no matter how right she may be, she can't save the world. | |
| If it's even possible, then the only one who could would be the Master. | |
| Skuld: | Master? |
| Gula: | You've heard about him from Chirithy, haven't you? |
| We five who are called the Foretellers were the apprentices of the Master of Masters. | |
| He is the only one who could possibly change this situation now. | |
| Skuld: | Where is this Master? |
| Gula: | Right? I knew you'd go there. |
| But, the Master disappeared out of the blue one day. | |
| Ava and I have both tried to find him, but there wasn't a single clue. | |
| The only one who we can assume acquired knowledge of the Master's whereabouts is Luxu. | |
| Chirithy: | Lord Luxu. |
| Skuld: |
You know him? |
| Chirithy: | He was the sixth apprentice of the Master of Masters. |
| Lord Luxu disappeared too, right after the Master did, like he was following him... | |
| Skuld: | So you can't find this Lord Luxu person either? |
| Gula: | Of course you go there, huh? |
| You really are like Ava. | |
| Skuld: | You mean, Lady Ava is... |
| Gula: | Yes. She's searching for Luxu. |
| To ask him about the whereabouts of the Master, yeah. | |
Luxu's Goal
| (Ava approaches the Black Coat as he gazes off towards Daybreak Town.) | |
| Ava: | I've finally found you, Luxu. |
| Luxu: | Ava, huh... |
| Ava: | What have you been doing all this time? |
| Luxu: | Watching. |
| Ava: | Huh? |
| Luxu: | That's my mission, after all. |
| Ava: | What sort of mission is that? |
| Luxu: | To watch. |
| Ava: | Huh? |
| Luxu: | Just to watch. |
| Ava: | What do you mean? |
| (He turns to her.) | |
| Luxu: | Unlike you five, I was not given a Tome of Prophecy. |
| Instead, I have to move forward to the future written about in those tomes. | |
| I'll watch this world end, and then I'll set off. | |
| Ava: | Huh…? |
| Luxu: | Ava, you want to avoid a Keyblade War, don't you? |
| That's why you came looking for me, who disappeared just like the Master: to ask about his whereabouts. | |
| But that's impossible. | |
| This world is going to end, that's what I mean here. | |
| Ava: | Luxu, what do you know? |
| Luxu: | The lost page... |
| That which has been foretold, that you and the others don't know. | |
| The Master's intentions. | |
| Ava: | The Master's intentions? |
| Are you saying everything turning out like this, and the end of the world, too, was the Master's intention? | |
| Luxu: | My mission is to inherit the secret. |
| That is why I must keep this world moving forward according to the lost page. | |
| The Master's intentions are not concerned with the longevity of the world. I will act in order to carry out my mission, and watch. | |
| Ava: | What's written on the lost page? |
| Luxu… have you been behind all this? | |
| ...Are you the traitor? | |
| (Luxu summons his Keyblade.) | |
