Kingdom Hearts (series): Difference between revisions

Lauriam, continued to search for his sister with the help of [[Elrena]] and it led him to his comrades. Explaining the situation they knew that Strelitzia was apart of their group but was hesitant to join and that she had a great admiration for "someone" that she tried to save them from the war. Match Player's description, Ephemer takes Lauriam to meet them but was sad that they didn't know her either. As the mystery unravels Brain consults the book of prophecies and finds a note inside with a startling discovery he summons Ephemer to inform him that Strelitzia was the missing Union Leader. Knowing of her intentions but Player being here Brain figured out that there is an imposter in their ranks and with Ventus and Skuld arriving he asks them to remember their encounter with Master Ava. Hearing that Ven's encounter was different Brain reveals to him the shocking truth that he is the imposter. Knowing this wasn't Ava's plan and that he didn't know the Union Leaders suspected that Darkness may have done this and by pushing their comrade to remember Ventus recalls meeting Master Ava inside an abandoned building and left together heading towards the Clock Tower but not much else except for Strelitzia dying with that they resolve to help him and tell Lauriam what happened to his sister.

Meanwhile unknown to them, [[Maleficent]] came into their world led by the [[Darkness (character)|Darkness entity]] and despite Lauriam's efforts she escaped in one of the lifeboat pods unknowingly beginning the world's destruction. As the others returned to the tower the strain of remembering puts Ven to sleep while Brain, Ephemer and Skuld tried to figure out Darkness' next move aware that it was here but didn't know the entity's motive. Through his dreams Ventus remembered what really happened, it was Darkness that struck her down not him and Ven woke up distraught that he couldn't save her. Then, the other's conversation was misunderstood by a vengeful Lauriam who demanded to know what happened to Strelitzia but before his friends could explain Ventus reveals that he was responsible for her demise despite the other's protest. But the grief and anger knock him unconscious again revealing the true culprit to the group.

Meeting the entity the group discovered why it targeted Strelitzia as it played on Ven's hidden desire power but knowing of their comrade's gentle heart they knew he would never resort to such means. But Darkness believed gaining what was more important than how, realizing that his sister was gone for nothing Lauriam tried to avenge her but was easily defeated. The reason why Darkness hid inside Ventus was because it was written in the book by the Master discovering that it and the Master were friends. Discussing further the Union Leaders also find out that there were many willful darknesses around and the only reason they couldn't be seen was because they weren't acknowledged yet until now hearing enough Brain and the others decide to fight against the entity but with no physical form it couldn't be destroyed.

With Ephemer only standing despite being told that the entity had no goal Brain didn't believe that as it was still here. They found out that it was Darkness' intention to infect and expand by using Ventus' body they could separate from the whole and act independently. Lauriam finally accepts the truth about Strelitzia's fate and fights alongside the others with Player joining their ranks. Confidently the Union Leaders believed they could return to the real world only to be dashed when Darkness told them of the lifeboat's real purpose to be used as a last defense if Darkness couldn't be defeated and when used the world will be destroyed and sealed off with it already starting. Regardless they still fight briefly beating it back, the Darklings appear and come for Ventus but he awakens enveloped in light dispelling the creatures believing himself to be “pure light”. With that he decided to his power to give Darkness a form they could beat and fought the entity alone.
