Aqua: Difference between revisions

===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===

One night, Ven, Terra, and Aqua watch a meteor shower together and she gives them each a good luck charm, and saves one for herself.  

The next day, she takes the Mark of Mastery exam along with Terra, and becomes a Keyblade Master, although Terra fails due to his inability to control his darkness. After Terra and Ventus left, Aqua was the last apprentice to be sent by [[Master Eraqus]] to bring Ventus back to the [[Land of Departure]]. Before she left, Eraqus wanted to ask Aqua to keep an eye on Terra, to make sure he is alright, and stays safe from the darkness in his heart. If Terra's heart would become too close to the darkness, Eraqus needed Aqua to bring Terra back immediately.  

Aqua, Ven, and Terra make many new friends along the way and fight off hordes of [[Unversed]]. Aqua later ends up at Radiant Garden with [[Mickey Mouse]] and meets the young Princess of Heart, [[Kairi]], who touched Aqua's Keyblade in fright, unintentionally performing a [[Keyblade Inheritance Ceremony]]. Aqua and Mickey protect her from a group of Unversed, and in return, Kairi gives Aqua flowers, which becomes the Keyblade [[Destiny's Embrace]]. Aqua also places a protective charm on Kairi's necklace to help her in the future, believing that their meeting may not have been a coincidence.

Aqua later meets up with Terra and Ventus, but the reunion is short-lived as they team up to battle a massive Unversed. They manage to defeat it, but things take a turn for the worse. Terra and Aqua begin to argue about Master Eraqus's orders, revealing to Terra that she was sent to watch him. Hurt by this, Terra leaves, and Ventus calls Aqua awful, claiming that she has let her new status as a Keyblade master go to her head. He then leaves to find Terra, as Aqua stays to contemplate.  

A short conversation with Ventus takes place there, one where he states that if he does become the X-blade, he wants the two of them to 'put an end to me.' Aqua appears horrified, but Master Xehanort makes an appearance and tells about the history of the Keyblade War. Afterwards they attack, and a great battle takes place. Xehanort holds Ven over the edge of a cliff where Aqua can see, he freezes the boy and drops him, however, she manages to catch him. After fighting [[Braig]] and then Ventus under Vanitas's influence, the X-blade is destroyed and she is flung into the Lanes Between, unconscious. Mickey finds her and Ventus drifting there and brings them both to [[Yen Sid's Tower]], where it is revealed to her that Ventus has lost his heart. She takes Ven back to the Land of Departure and places his sleeping body in a throne. She takes [[Master Keeper|Eraqus's Keyblade]] and transforms the world into [[Castle Oblivion]] to keep Ventus safe. Afterwards she says her goodbyes to Ven, fondly stroking his hair, and leaves. She then tracks down [[Terra-Xehanort|a possessed Terra]] in Radiant Garden.  

Failing to bring Terra back to his senses, Aqua fights and defeats Xehanort; subsequently, Xehanort stabs himself in the chest with his own Keyblade in an attempt to lock Terra out as a horrified Aqua looks on. As Terra-Xehanort falls through a portal into the Realm of Darkness, Aqua dives in after him, but quickly realizes that she will be unable to save them both. Instead, Aqua sacrifices her armor and Keyblade to save the dark being that had once been her dear friend, sending him back into the Realm of Light while she remains behind. Now stuck in the Realm of Darkness, Aqua is attacked by [[Darkside|several giant Heartless]] and decides to just allow them to destroy her, but is saved by Terra and Ventus's Keyblades. She is then reminded of the people she's connected to. With renewed trust in her friends, Aqua continues on.

<!--this needs to be rewritten - there are a few inaccuracies. I will try to have a journal translation done this weekend-->

After felling the Heartless, Aqua continues walking, eventually coming to a clearing and looking up. Surprised, she recognizes the [[Castle of Dreams]] surrounded by clouds of darkness.

{{Q|It's been a long time, my friend.|Xemnas to Aqua's armour.}}

Aqua's armor and Keyblade reside in the [[Chambers of Repose and Waking|Chamber of Repose]], a room constructed by Ansem's Apprentices under [[Radiant Garden]] for an as of yet unknown purpose. [[Xemnas]] visits the armor often, calling it "friend" and talking to it for long periods of time. This has piqued the curiosity and suspicion of [[Xigbar]], who often eavesdrops on his conversations, and once shared this story with [[Zexion]], stating that one time he heard "another voice" respond to Xemnas. In [[The World That Never Was]], Sora encounters Xigbar, who mentions "other Keyblade bearers", referring to Terra, Aqua, and Ventus.

Aqua ends up at the Dark Meridian, where she  meets [[Ansem the Wise]], who was cast into the Realm when his [[Kingdom Hearts Encoder|machine]] exploded. He reveals that in the Realm of Light, it has been almost eleven years, and he explains the events that have occurred in Aqua's absence, including the actions of Sora. Knowing that Sora will rescue her and her friends, she sheds a single tear, while uttering Sora's name with renewed hope.

Aqua is alluded to by Data-Naminé as one of those connected to Sora's heart and need his help, appearing as one of Data-Naminé's mental images. Later on, after Mickey informs Yen Sid that they have located Ventus's heart, Yen Sid concludes that Terra is the only one left to find, implying that they have already located Aqua.

Mickey mentions Aqua when he suggests that he help Sora and Riku inside the Dreaming Realm by following his heart's path, as Aqua told him long ago.
