Birth by Sleep - Terra - The Plot Bell Rings

Now that we've finished with Aqua's story we're moving onto Terra's. Hopefully a play through with Terra will allow us to know what happens to him at the end of the game, understand his half-fall into the darkness, learn more about Master Xehanort's evil plans and learn more about his relationship with Ven and Aqua.

  • Once again we find ourselves at the Mark of Mastery exam only this time we’re Terra-bull.
  • Again Master Xehanort gives Ven the evil eye and again Master Erauqs is all like “don’t kill each other, we’re only looking at your skills and how you handle pressure. Have some light balls!” (Mark Hamil does Master E’s voice… which means he sometimes sounds like Fire Lord Ozai). Master X finger twiddles some darkness into the light balls and… GOD WE’VE BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE!
  • So once again Aqua and Terra face off and Terra lets some darkness slip out.
  • And again only Aqua is promoted to Keyblade Master. Again both Ven and Aqua try to comfort Terra. And again Master Xehanort and Vanitas plot in the shadows.

  • Terra storms off for some time alone and here is where Terra’s story diverges from Aqua’s.
  • Terra knows he has darkness inside of him but he doesn’t think that matters. He knows that he’s strong enough to keep it in check (:<)
  • Oh hey! Master Xehanort has come to mess with our minds! Already? Yeesh. Anyhoo Master Xehanort is all like “Yeap darkness is great. I eat it for breakfast every morning. Pity your stupid old Master won’t let you use darkness –it is awesome- so you’ll never become a Master. What is that, you want to know what you didn’t learn? You’re fine how you are, well you could use some more darkness in you but I’m a little biased. Have I said how awesome darkness is?”
  • The plot bell rings and Terra runs back into the castle as Master Xehanort smirks and summons up a dark portal.
  • So again Master Erauqs is talking to his sparkler mirror thing and tells Aqua and Terra that Yen Sid is worried about the Princesses of Heart and Unversed. So, ya know, rescue some hotties kill some monsters. Again Master Erauqs is all like “MASTER XEHANORT WON’T RETURN MY CALLS! HE PROBABLY ISN’T UP TO ANYTHING b-but I need you to find him for me. Even though he was here like ten minutes ago.” (Yes I’m putting forward ErauqsX Xehanort.)
  • Again Master Erauqs reminds Terra that he loves him but he’s worried about Terra’s obsession with power and goes into that dark side rant again AND UGH CAN WE MOVE ON?!
  • Oh, we’re moving on!
  • Ven chases Terra down and puppies his best puppy yet. Tripping over big feet and weepy eyes and all.
  • Terra transforms into ARMOR!TERRA and blasts off on his scooter?
  • D-link with Ventus and Aqua!
  • So, we’re off on a brand new adventure with a brand new character! We know mostly how it ends but sometimes it’s the going that matters.
