Kaii-Leiko

This is now the single happiest day of my life.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply it was 100% real. Apparently someone got it from E3, I forget where it originated from but I saw it again in a comment on Kotaku and I thought I'd share it. It's by no means definitive proof, but I'm not discounting it as impossible either.

I was wondering if someone could provide a list of the differences between KH 1 and the Final mix version. I never bothered looking into it since I never though I'd get a chance to play the FM versions, haha. Thanks in advance

i agree, there should be no legal issue as they are simply re-releasing the games. Does anyone know why they lost the rights in the first place?

This may not be my first fanfic, it is however my first Kingdom Hearts one. Any critiques or feedback are more than welcome. Oh, I should definitely put this up here. This fanfic is set sometime like right after the KH3D Secret ending, except set a little different. (Instead of only Riku, Mickey, and Kairi being there everyone else is brought in as well.) This will contain SPOILERS TO KH3D, so if you wish to avoid these do not read, I would hate to ruin the game for anyone who hasn't yet played it. Hope you enjoy. Chapter 1: The Seventh Light It had only been a few hours since Riku had saved Sora from his dreams. Riku was still in shock. Shocked that he had become a Keyblade master but that Sora hadn’t. Since the beginning Sora had never given in to the darkness, but he had. Throughout their first journey he had been incredibly jealous. Why had the Keyblade gone to Sora but not himself? It was only much later he found out the Keyblade originally would have been his had he not given in to the darkness which only made him feel worse. It still pained his heart that he could have held such terribly jealousy for his friend. Sora was different. When he had found out Riku was to be a Keyblade master he had not become jealous. He had instantly jumped at Riku’s side with that goofy grin on his face, congratulating him for his accomplishment and not seeming to care about himself. It definitely was not that Sora wasn’t skilled enough to become a Keyblade master and Riku was still unclear as to why only he had been chosen. It hadn’t taken long for master Yen Sid to send him on a task. He was more than pleased with where he was going the only thing that could have made it better is if Sora had been coming along with him but he had gone off on some mysterious task as well. As he fell towards the ground below him he smiled. The salty air filled his nostrils and the familiar sounds of the ocean lapping at the beach filled him with nostalgia. The sky was so bright and blue it was practically blinding and around him the Paopu trees stood tall, delicious looking fruit hanging off the leafs. He took a look around and released his Keyblade, watching it dematerialize and disappear. At almost the exact same moment he was greeted with a familiar voice behind him. “Riku!” He quickly turned to find his other best friend besides Sora running towards him. Kairi’s long red hair trailed behind her as she stopped before Riku breathing lightly. She smiled at him and looked around, angling herself to look behind Riku. It took him a moment to realize what she was looking for but as soon as he did realize it he smiled and before she had the chance to ask answered her question. “He didn’t come with me.” “Why not?” Her head tilted as the question left her lips. “He said he had something to take care off. I’m here t-“ “What happened? Why were you guys summoned to see Yen Sid anyway?” Riku took a deep breath and placed a hand over his head, his head shaking from side to side. He raised a hand to stop Kairi from asking anymore questions. “Let’s go somewhere we can sit and talk.” ** “Congratulations Riku, I’m proud of you.” Kairi’s voice was cheery and she threw her arms around Riku’s neck in show of support. He casually pushed her away but smiled, grateful for her congratulations, but it was time they got down to business.“Thanks Kairi but the real reason I came back here is you.” “Me?” “Master Yen Sid wants to see you.” “Me?” she repeated. Kairi was having a difficult time understanding this one. Riku had told her a lot of incredible things in his story moments ago but out of all of them this was the most difficult to understand. She had never participated in any of the two boys’ fights or adventures save for fighting a few Heartless at Xemnas’ castle. She stood up and her skirt swayed lightly in the breeze. “Okay Riku.” She turned around to look at her friend. “Let’s go.” Riku held back a grin. He wasn’t sure exactly what to expect, but he had a feeling it would be interesting. ** Sora landed softly on the ground in front of Yen Sid’s tower, his signature grin plastered on his face. He knew it hadn’t been completely necessary but he felt the need to go see and thank the Dream Eaters that had helped him and Riku on their quest. It was important to him that they know he was grateful for their all of their help. They had helped him out of quite a few situations over the supposed exam. He pushed the large doors to the tower open and began making his way up the stairs. He still had a little trouble believing he had not been made a master, but it didn’t matter. He was happy for Riku and proud of him as well. Since they had left the islands Riku had come a long way and overcome a lot more than Sora had. He’d had a difficult time coming to terms with the darkness in his heart but Sora had never doubted him in the least. He knew Riku was strong and he also knew that he would eventually overcome his personal problems. It was still, however, a little unsettling that Xehanort had attempted to use him as a vessel for darkness. If it wasn’t for Riku there was a very good chance he might have succeeded as well. It was time things got serious. He would have to work hard to be ready for the inevitable clash that would come. It was also time for Mickey to explain about his three friends and to find them. As he reached the top of the steps he realized that Master Yen Sid was speaking to someone from behind the door, Sora assumed it was Riku. He hoped he wasn’t interrupting as he pushed the door open and exclaiming loudly. “I’m back!” In the room everyone turned around, shocked at Sora’s sudden entrance. No more words were exchanged as everyone turned to face Sora. He noticed Kairi and his jaw hung open. He definitely did not expect to find her here. It hadn’t been that long since they’d been apart but seeing her now made it feel as though it had been forever. His heart had skipped a beat when he had realized it was her and for a few moments no one moved. Everyone watched, waiting for either Kairi or Sora to do something. It was Kairi that made the first move. First she took a hesitant step forward and then ran to Sora. She jumped into his arms and he caught her spinning the both of them around laughing loudly. They seemed to be lost in their own little world as though they had forgotten where they were and that there were other people surrounding them. “I wish I got welcomed like that.” Came a sarcastic voice from the sidelines. Lea was smirking as he watched the two friends embrace. His voice had brought them back to reality. Sora grinned sheepishly and set Kairi down. She took a few steps back and smiled warmly at him. “Kairi what are you doing here?” Kairi opened her mouth to reply but was interrupted by Yen Sid. He cleared his throat before he spoke. “If you would both kindly give me a moment I will explain why I have summoned Kairi here.” His voice was serious but his eyes twinkled in amusement at the way the two had greeted each other. Kairi returned to stand before the wizard whereas Sora moved to the sidelines to join Riku. “As you all know a clash with Xehanort’s thirteen darkness’s is inevitable and as I am sure you are all aware of we seem to be lacking a warrior to make seven lights to fight his thirteen. It has recently come to my attention that Miss Kairi here can use a Keyblade. I am unsure as to how this came to be, but it works in our favor. If she will agree to it she will train here to wield the Keyblade and help us in our fight against Xehanort.” This was grave news indeed. Kairi had not been expecting this when she’d gotten out of bed this morning. She considered this deeply her mind processing so many thoughts at once. During the first journey, even after Sora had rescued her, she’d been useless. She had to watch as her best friend ran head first into danger and all she could do was give him a luck charm to bring her back. Even after she’d gotten her Keyblade the most she had done was fight a few weak Heartless, and remembering that made her mind up for her. She would accept. She wanted to help and stand by her two friends. She wanted to fight with them and not be stuck on the sidelines anymore. This time she would be there to protect the two of them as they had been protecting her from the beginning. Once again she didn’t have time to speak herself as Sora stepped forward to stand in front of Kairi almost as though he was trying to protect her from Yen Sid’s proposal. He wasn’t shouting but his voice was definitely raised and his arm swung before him as if to make his point clear as he exclaimed “There is no way!” Everyone was shocked and once again the room fell silent. Yen Sid’s eyes widened and everyone watched. It took guts to speak to Master Yen Said like that, not to mention it was completely disrespectful especially since it was not Sora he had been addressing. Mickey, Donald and Goofy were horrified, Lea was grinning from the corner, impressed with Sora’s boldness and Riku didn’t even know how to react. Yen Sid’s eyes narrowed as he spoke. “Although I thank you for the services you have done in the past Sora, do not presume to be able to speak to me this way.” His voice was filled with power and he glanced towards Kairi before continuing. “Nor is it your choice to make.” Sora spun to Kairi but upon seeing the angry look on her face thought it would be better to keep his mouth shut. She glared at him for a few moments and then without saying a word took a few steps forward, averting her gaze from his and turned to Master Yen Sid. “I’ll do it, sir.” There were cries of happiness, almost everyone was happy with Kairi’s decision, everyone but one it seemed. Everyone had gathered around Kairi talking at the same time, everyone but Sora. During the excitement he had gone back to the doors and made his way downstairs heading outside of the Tower to process everything that had just happened. Kairi spun in circles while trying to acknowledge everyone. As she spun she looked for Sora. Out of everyone her best friend is the last person she had expected to react this way and now he wasn’t even here. She realized he had most likely slipped out during the commotion and sadness tugged at her heart a little. She didn’t understand why her best friend in the world had reacted like that but she supposed she would have to deal with it later. Riku was just as amazed as Kairi was. Ever since they were little he wasn’t sure he had ever seen Sora and Kairi get into a fight. Not a serious one at least and he couldn’t understand Sora’s actions any better than Kairi. Upon realizing that Sora had left it really dawned on him how upset his friend must have been to leave like that. He sighed. He would have to find Sora later and find out what the problem was.

I go there bu I haven;t seen them yet another, on another note do portals appear at random and are they important or good for anything. I can't see any use for them really.

I'm using the guidebook to get treasure chests and there are some spots where it says (mimc) but I can't seem to find anything there, does anyone know what to do with these mimic points?

Haha, I guess I don't really regret it though. i love Kingdom Hearts for sure, probably more than Zelda as a whole but me entire childhood was spent on Ocarina of time, so having those Ocarina's in the corner of my 3DS is just amazing for me, hehe. Haha Yeah, I suppose that's one way to look at it, it exploding from awesomeness. That's a good idea, you must be pretty skilled to do something like that.

Me and a buddy are going to the EB Games (Canadian GameStop) about 2 hours. Before it opens just to be the first ones there. So psyched! Been waiting for this for a long time now!

I'm no too worried. I would have used it probably but I ended up getting the special ocarina of time 3DS so there's no point putting a KH case on.

Oh is it not an ability you equip anymore? I don't know much about the game yet, been avoiding spoilers. From what people have posted it sounds like you get it from certain dream eaters and it's only active when you have that dream eater on your team? That's an interesting way to do things.
