The day begins with Axel leaving for C.O. and Saïx giving him a message from Lord Mansex. Because he's an avid fan of the series, Mansex has played all of the games umpteen times, and thus knows full well what <s>Marluxia</s><small> sorry, spoilers </small>''someone'' is planning. Incidentally, he also knows the ending to KHII, but refuses to believe that his defeat at the hands of Sora and Riku can be true. He merely assumes that he must have been high on pot when he played that bit, or something... AHEM! Moving on... Ever the shrewd kind of guy, Axel suspects that Saïx may have a personal agenda alongside Mansex's instructions...

Meanwhile, Roxas rushes into the Grey Area, ready to declare his undying love for Axel... <small>No! Bad yaoi f&aelig;ries! Stay away!</small> Sorry, I'll start again. Roxas rushes into the Grey Area to bid Axel a '''''perfectly ordinary and heterosexual''''' farewell, only to find he's already gone. Roxas is disappointed, because he wanted to ask Axel what he's won with the "WINNER" stick. This is followed by – gah! – a tutorial, this time on Link Panels. Still, this is important, so you should pay attention. Once you're free to move, talk to Demyx for a freebie Blazing Shard, check the Holo-Missions if you want, organise your panels, and prepare to venture out on today's mission.

Hmmm... I wonder what today's title is an omen of... Do you suppose it could it be the dark and closely-guarded secrets that are Xion's gender and Keybearer-ness? Er... nope, because they're both revealed blatantly in the instruction booklet. Way to pull off "The Reveal", Squendis!</sarcasm> If you can't fathom that weird word, look it up in the Glossary.

Anyway, as Roxas arrives in the Grey Area at the beginning of this fine day, Xion seems to struggle for a moment before she says "Good morning" to him. This cosy little scene is almost immediately interrupted by old X-face, who wants to send you off to deal with a '''Bigass Heartless'''&trade;. A tutorial on Unit Panels ensues, after which you should talk to Xaldin for a free Moonstone. When you talk to Saïx, he informs you that you are finally to be rewarded with extra Panel Slots... but not until after the mission! Fat lot of good that is, eh? We're going to take on a '''Bigass Heartless'''&trade;, and we get something we can use to better prepare ourselves ''afterwards!?'' Pfft, he has no logistical sense at all. After the predictable tutorial on Panel Slots, the mission menu opens, and you can set off. Just check your panels first, though. You really want to obey the intel and equip Block if you removed it previously.

Basically, from now on, every single mission rewards you with a Slot Releaser when completed. They are listed under your "Obtained Items" instead of the "Clear Rewards" after a mission, which I suspect is to prevent complications with the bonus gauge multiplying your Clear Rewards. You have 15 slots to begin with, you unlock an additional 80 by clearing all of the missions, a couple are found in treasure chests, and the remaining few are obtained from the Moogle Shop, as you'll see later.

[[Image:Darkside KH.png|thumb|right|150px|A '''Bigass Heartless'''&trade;]]Once again, we begin in the Side Street. The target is lurking in Station Plaza, but before you can set out, Xion lowers her hood. Yes, she's female, and looks just like Kairi but with black hair. Hah! That should keep you guessing, foolish players! I don't know why Roxas and Axel seem so surprised when they discover that Xion's a girl. After all, unlike us (we haven't heard her VA yet) they'll have heard her voice, which is quite clearly female. Anyway, it's about time we discussed the mission, yes? As you proceed uphill, you'll run into the usual common-or-garden Heartless. No worries. In Station Heights, there's a chest downhill, but your goal lies at the summit. Enter Station Plaza and proceed towards the far end, whereupon the [[Darkside]] appears behind you.

Your immediate priority is to open the chest lurking in the northeast corner of Station Plaza, as this is another auto-RTC mission. That done, start attacking your mark. The Darkside has a lot of easily countered attack patterns, so there's no real danger as long as you react accordingly to the cues it gives you. The following table has all the information you could possibly need to take down the '''Bigass Heartless'''&trade;:

After the dark orb rain, the Darkside repeats the cycle from the beginning. You can generally ignore the Shadows summoned in the first attack, as you'll spend so much time either running around or in the air next to the Darkside's hands and head that they have little chance to attack you, and they're not much of a threat even if they do manage to hit you. Hits landed on the Darkside's head do more damage than those landed on the hands, and aiming Fire magic at the head is a useful strategy.

After you defeat the '''Bigass Heartless'''&trade;, it lashes out at Roxas and his Keyblade is sent spinning away. Xion picks it up and finishes off the Darkside, apparently as surprised as Roxas that she can use it. Roxas congratulates her, saying she deserves something extra. No, not like ''that'', you perverts! He takes her up to the top of the clock tower and gives her an ice cream, obviously. Xion asks him how he found such an awesome hangout, and he eventually replies that "Axel took [him] here" on Day 1. This phrasing is extremely poor grammar (it should, of course, be "brought" instead of "took"). Either that, or it's extremely suggestive of sexual activity... <small>Dammit, yaoi f&aelig;ries! Go away!</small> Seriously bad choice of wording there, Squendis! Xion remarks upon Roxas and Axel's friendship, and asks if she can be their friend too. Roxas says he'll ask Axel when the latter returns from C.O.
