A Fragmentary Passage

A fragmentary passage, also referred to as the Secret Episode (シークレットエピソード), is a secret ending exclusive to Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix. Unlike other secret endings, A fragmentary passage is playable, much like the Final Episode, rather than simply watching from the view of a bystander.

In A fragmentary passage, Aqua is playable, the main setting being the Realm of Darkness, where Aqua fights several Pureblood Heartless while wielding Eraqus's Master Keeper.

Synopsis
The secret ending opens with Sora sleeping on the Destiny Islands, with Kairi approaching him to wake up, mirroring the opening to Kingdom Hearts.

Aqua is then seen walking on through the Realm of Darkness, but stops when the realm starts to shake. A portal of light appears above her, and a jet of Darkness appears flowing directly into the portal. She clutches her Wayfinder to her chest as the light within it starts to fade, and decides to investigate this strange occurrence.

While exploring further, Aqua encounters a mysterious enemy. Upon first noticing it, Aqua draws her Keyblade, but it quickly knocks her down. Aqua recovers and strikes it before it can attack her further, realizing it is not an Unversed. She then fights it and emerges victorious.

Aqua then spots the remnants of the Castle of Dreams, which has been swallowed by the Realm of Darkness. She looks in horror at the castle ahead of her.
