Kevin Flynn: Difference between revisions

Not long before Sora and Riku's arrival on the Grid, Kevin Flynn was reunited with his son, Sam, who had thought him previously dead. Because of Sam's arrival, a portal to their home world had been opened. And using Flynn's disc, "the master key" of The Grid, they could escape through it. Sam wanted to make a run for it, but Flynn argued, saying they would be playing into CLU's hands. In the end, Flynn rejected the idea of going, so Sam left in secret to go and get help from outside. Discovering this, Flynn went in pursuit.  

In Sora's Story, Flynn plays a minor role, but an essential one. Accompanied by Quorra and his son, they witness Sora's escape from CLU's forces, and his standoff with Rinzler. Flynn recognizes him for Tron. He is also perplexed by Sora's weapon, the Keyblade, understanding he never wrote a code for it. They approach Sora about the Keyblade, and Sora comments on being in a world like Tron's (Space Paranoids). Flynn explains to Sora that he's right, and that the program Rinzler is Tron, repurposed by CLU. Sora becomes bent to save him. Flynn explains CLU might have Tron's source code, and they might be able to restore him to his original self. Quorra offers to help Sora, and Flynn agrees, seeing it as a useful way to get a new ally. While Sora and Quorra head off, he and Sam keep going to the portal, to catch up with Quorra later.

In Riku's Story, his role is nearly exactly that of the film. He first meets Riku with Sam and an comatose Quorra, injured from their escape from Sam's contact. In the chaos, his [[Identity Disk|Identity Disc]] was stolen, and he realizes they have to run for the portal now, as well as getting back the disc. Riku agrees to join them. As they take a Solar Sailor, Flynn heals Quorra through her disc, and reveals her to be an ISO. He explains the ISO's origins and CLU's destruction of them in his pursuit for perfection. Riku muses how if someone focuses on one idea, they blot out everything else they care about, like Ansem. The Sailor accidentally boards the Rectifier, CLU's battleship. There, Quorra has herself captured by Rinzler to help the Flynns and Riku escape. As Sam and Riku save her and the disc, Flynn commandeers a Light Jet. They escape on the jet and arrive at the portal, where CLU is waiting for them. CLU is furious at Flynn for breaking their promise of a perfect world, and has the [[Dream Eater]], [[Commantis]], attack Riku to show his power. It falls under the Keyblade wielder's blade, and Flynn explains the true nature of perfection; it's unknowable, but always in front of them. CLU never knew that because Flynn didn't while creating him. His apology comes to no end, as CLU attacks and tries to take Flynn's disc. Sam, Quorra and Riku are on the opposite side as the bridge withdraws on both sides, separating them. CLU discovers Quorra and Flynn switched discs, and tries to seize it. Urging his son on, in a desperate attempt to save him, Flynn draws CLU back into himself, reintegration, as if is called. Sam and Quorra go through the portal, while Riku watches helplessly as Flynn and CLU are utterly destroyed in a massive explosion. Flynn's sacrifice enables his son and the last ISO to go home, and for Riku to open the Sleeping Keyhole of the Grid.
