Birth by Sleep - Aqua - OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD!

This is the second-to-last update for Aqua. Wow folks it seems like only yesterday we were starting off on this adventure... Actually it was Tuesday night but who's keeping track of this stuff? While this bit of the recap/reaction is ALL cutscenes there's A LOT to process seeing as how it's the set-up for the END.

  • Aqua’s in her armor and riding along on her …ski? (GOD WHY DON’T I KNOW WHAT TO CALL THIS THING YET) And flies into a bright light… NO AQUA CAN’T GO INTO THE LIGHT! I’m already traumatized game!
  • Wait… this is Destiny Island!
  • Aqua walks up to the paopu fruit tree and smiles up at the fruit. She pulls out her charm and then says “I hope we’re ready for the storm that’s coming.”
  • OH GOD THIS IS THE END?!

  • OH. HOLY. SHIT. BALLS!
  • BABY SORA AND BABY RIKU!
  • They’re racing (of course they are) and Riku wins (BASTARD I STILL WON’T FORGIVE YOU FOR NAMING THE RAFT!) but then they spot Aqua! OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD
  • Aqua jumps down and grins at the boys. She says Riku “looks so sincere” JUST LIKE TERRA. And that Sora’s “the spitting image of Ven.” OH GOD Then she predicts at least one of them will become a Keyblade Master.
  • Huh…? After she asks the boys for their names Aqua realizes somebody has already passed on some power to Riku… and she thinks it might’ve been Terra.
  • Pssh, then she asks if Sora likes Riku. OF COURSE HE LIKES HIM! They’re best friends, duh.
  • D: Aqua what are you doing?
  • She asks Sora what he would do if Riku got lost or if he started down a dark path alone (OH GOD THE FORESHADOWING! …Is it foreshadowing when we already know what happens?) …she asks him what he would do but then she tells him what to do: to stay by his side and keep him safe. OH GOD AQUA STOP FUCKING UP YOUNG PEOPLE’S LIVES! (Not that Sora needed any encouragement to run after Riku/Kairi)
  • Then she gives both the boys noogies and her creepy stranger-O-meter just keeps going up. So the boys go off into the sunset together and Aqua watches them go.
  • Alone now, she sits up on the paopu fruit tree (legs crossed cause she’s a lady ya’ll) and says “one keyblade is enough for any friendship” (:C)
  • Apparently she wouldn’t wish her life on anybody else. I guess you could say becoming a Keyblade Master ruined her life a bit but if she never went to Master Eraqus she would’ve never met Terra or Ven.

  • Fidgeting with her Wayfinder charm she asks it/Terra what will become of them all.
  • Another new Keyblade…
  • WE’RE IN SPACE AGAIN?!
  • Another light in the distance but this time it’s… MICKEY?!
  • Aqua picks up Mickey and is freaked to find him FLOATING IN THE MIDDLE OF SPACE KNOCKED OUT. Well… who wouldn’t be?
  • Looks like Mickey needs to go to Yen Sid’s so OFF WE GO!
  • So here we are again (and by again I mean we’ve been here in the future like 11 years in the future) at Yen Sid’s tower.
  • So we go up the tower and… DONALD! GOOFY!
  • But… wait huh?
  • Master Eraqus’ star has blinked out? Wh-what? He’s… dead.
  • Aqua gasps the best gasp ever and asks who did it but it doesn’t look like Yen Sid wants to say. Finally he spits it out: Master Xehanort.
  • WAIT
  • WHUT
  • I KNEW IT!
  • TERRA?! Terra killed Master Eraqus or helped or something…
  • Aqua doesn’t believe him, of course she doesn’t.
  • Wait… huh? When Aqua protests Yen Sid says “I hope with all my heart you are right about your friend.” Which makes it seem like he’s not sure… And he’s not.
  • Aqua wants to know where Terra is and apparently his heart is leading him to “the ancient Keyblade Graveyard.” SO WE REALLY ARE AT THE END?! Apparently this graveyard place is where the Keyblade War(s?) took place.
  • Aqua is going to find him so she can know the truth, of course she is. But what will she do if it is the truth? And what will she do if it isn’t?
  • Yen Sid tells her to be on her guard but she seems set on this path.
  • Off we go to find Terra. Aqua prays that Terra and Ven are safe and swears she’ll find a way to get them out of this.
  • D-link with Donald and Goofy.
  • A new World opens up called The Keyblade Graveyard... which is were the secret endings took place: OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD!
