On a barren landscape, three blades shaped as keys stand in the ground. A metal boot walks toward them, cloak billowing behind. On the cliff, the teenagers share in conversation. Three armored warriors pull the Keyblades out of the dry soil. The scenes mix until they close into a shot of the older boy with dark hair and the tallest warrior. The warrior rushes forward, Keyblade in hand, to attack. An elderly man standing beside a helmeted soldier raises his left arm and a pillar of earth shoots up from below the warrior, striking him in the side of his face as it lifts him into the air. He tumbles over and falls to the ground. He pushes himself up just in time to see another pillar of earth bursting up in front of him. In a darkened room, a girl with blue hair stands before a stained glass window. She faces the dark-haired boy, who kneels and is breathing heavily. He hoists himself up onto his Keyblade. The room turns white and the two fly toward each other in combat. The blades meet, sparks flying, as neither is relenting in force. Gritting their teeth, they recoil. A blond-haired boy whirls around to see a set of large double doors open and reveal the elderly man and helmeted soldier, who walk in slowly. The elder fades, leaving the soldier, who stops and extends his hand, beckoning. The boy's eyes widen as he stares into the dark and enigmatic helmet of the soldier. The room becomes black, where the boy stands, holding an orb of light. He drops it slowly from his palm, and it decends into the darkness. A star-shaped charm, colored blue, drops onto a girl's hand. The hand then becomes three hands, each holding a different colored charm. The charms begin to glow in the three teenagers' hands and they watch them shoot into the sky. Above a desolate crossed road, the charms become large and flat platforms, ornately decorated with a picture of a sleeping woman. The three platforms fly past a curved blue and white Keyblade and attach themselves onto the hilt of the blade becoming a moon-shaped keychain. The elderly man shoots a flurry of ice at the armored warrior. He watches as the ice creeps up his left arm. The elder grasps a shorter warrior by the helmet and lifts him into the air, the warrior flailing helplessly. The tight grip creates cracks in the helmet as the first warrior watches. The blue-haired girl stands up suddenly and the dark-haired boy walks past her. She puts a hand to her heart. A blue eye stares in fear as the shorter warrior is encased in a burst of ice. The dark-haired boy runs through a white hall quickly being consumed by darkness. On the other side of the floor, the blond boy runs through a black hall being consumed by light. Moving pictures of a mouse riding a spellbook, a young boy in green, and a blue alien zoom past him as he focuses on his escape. The light catches up to the boy, and the girl lowers her head, frowning. On a battlefield, the girl holds a frozen boy in her arms, who looks back up at her, barely able to move. The elderly man carries a dark orb aflame in his hand, smiling greatly. He lifts the orb into the air and it shoots from his hand into the cloudy sky. The clouds part and the girl looks up to see a great blue heart-shaped moon shining down. The armored warrior removes his helmet to reveal the face of the dark-haired boy. He looks up, anger on his face. He blinks, and his eyes turn yellow. He falls down through the darkness, Keyblades drifting around him. He changes into the girl, who spins through the water on her descent. She opens her eyes and sees a blue platform. The Keyblades fall before her, and the platform shatters. The blond boy falls through the shards of the platform and light envelops his body until he becomes a shooting star. Two young boys sit on the beach and watch the star fall. Later, at sunset, the island is bathed in a warm glow. A tall silver-haired boy stands at the water's edge, staring at the sun's golden reflection on the water) ????????: This world is just too small. (The sun sets and the scene switches to a cloaked figure carrying something in a white sheet under his left arm. The waves sound against the shore as a breeze sways his cloak. He stands on a sandbar connected by bridge to the main island) ????????: There, you see? An empty world, like a prison. (He sets the sheet-covered form down onto a paopu tree that's bent sideways like a bench) ????????: I imagine you'll be right at home. (Under the sheet, a blond-haired boy closes his dull blue eyes) ????: Hey, where am I? ??????: Who's there? (A light shines in the darkness and pushes it away. Cloaked in the white sheet, the boy falls down through the water with a splash. The sheet glows brightly and leaves his body. He turns feet down and lands on a white platform. He stands up and surveys the platform with his blank eyes) ????: I'm a brand new heart. ??????: But this is-- Why are you in my heart? ????: The light brought me. I saw it shining in the distance...and followed it here. (The boy holds a hand to his chest) ??????: Yeah. That was my light. (The platform is shown with a large piece missing) ??????: But my heart is fractured. And now...the little I have left is slipping away. ????: Then you should join your heart with mine. (Expression is absent from his heavy-lidded face) ??????: Huh? (The platform fills in with light and becomes whole) ????: Now our hearts have touched. Nothing else will slip away. And one day...you'll be strong enough to win back the part that already did. ??????: Right. Thanks. ????: It's time to wake up now. All we need to do is... (Their two voices join as one) ??????: Open the door. (The white peels away like feathers and reveals a blue platform of the boy. He looks upward and watches the pieces float away. Back on the island, the cloaked man walks away from the boy in the sheet. The boy lifts an arm up out of the sheet, and the man stops and turns around, giving a sound of contentment. A Keyblade flashes into the hand of the boy, glowing) ????????: A Keyblade? (The Keyblade shoots a pillar of light into the sky. The man smiles and the boy slowly opens his eyes, the small points of light reflecting in them. Upon another world, a room sits in silence. Symbols and pictures line the walls of the room not covered in bookshelves, and upon a bed seated beneath a large window, lies a young golden-haired boy, gazing at the ceiling. He sits up, sighing, and looks out the window. He gasps upon seeing several shooting stars in the sky. He places his hands upon the glass in excitement) Ventus: A meteor shower! (He jumps off the bed and runs out of the room. It is evening at the Land of Departure. The stars twinkle in the night sky as Ventus runs out of the castle across the Forecourt) Ventus: I can't see much from here. (He runs to the Mountain Path and sees training equipment and smirks) Ventus: I've got time to spare! (He trains on the wheel-and-chain pole a bit before running over to the mobile) Ventus: What? You want a piece of me too! (He strikes the mobile with his Keyblade for a few minutes) Ventus: Wait, what am I messing around here for? I'm gonna miss the meteor shower! (He runs to the Summit and looks up at the stars) Ventus: Wow! (He lays down on the ground with his arms behind his head and watches the shooting stars) (He closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep. Once he wakes up, Ventus sits up and looks to the town. He yawns and moves to lay down again, but is greeted by the face of a blue-haired girl) Ventus: Whoa! (He sits up suddenly and gets to his knees. She giggles) Ventus: Gimme a break, Aqua. Aqua: Ven, you hopeless sleepyhead. You know, you should've at least brought a blanket. Ventus: But--Did I dream that place up? It really felt like I'd been there before...looking up at the stars... (She pets his head) Aqua: 'Cept you've always lived here with us. Ventus: Yeah... I know. (They walk to the edge of the hill and sit) Ventus: Aqua... Aqua: Hm? (The lamppost above them shines brightly) Ventus: Y'ever wonder what stars are? Where light comes from? Aqua: Hmm... Well they say-- ?????: That every star up there is another world. (They turn around and see...) Aqua: Terra. Terra: Yep, hard to believe there are so many worlds out there besides our own. (He walks over to them) Terra: The light is their hearts, and it's shining down on us like a million lanterns. Ventus: What? I don't get it. Terra: In other words, they're just like you, Ven. Ventus: What does THAT mean? Terra: You'll find out someday, I'm sure. Ventus: I wanna know now. Terra: You're too young to know now. (Aqua smiles) Ventus: Quit treating me like a kid! (Aqua laughs) Terra: Hey, what are you laughing at? Aqua: I can't help it. You two would make the weirdest brothers. who catches it in one hand) Ventus: I get one too? Aqua: Of course. One for each of us. Ventus: Yeah! and the fruit represents an unbreakable connection. So as long as you and your friends carry good luck charms shaped like it, nothing can ever drive you apart. You'll always find your way back to each other. I did the best with what I had. Terra: Oy, sometimes you are such a girl. Ventus: So this isn't a real good luck charm? Aqua: Well, that's yet to be seen. But I did work a little magic on it. (She holds her charm high in the air) Terra: Well, tomorrow's the exam. Anybody wanna spar? (Terra and Ven spar, with Terra fighting defensively) Ventus: Quit goin' easy on me. You're not gonna win unless you stay (Terra fights more defensively and wins. Aqua walks over to them) Aqua: Well, that works fine if you're fighting one on one. But you need to know how to handle a crowd, too. (Terra leaves Aqua to fight Ven. Aqua trains Ven on attacking multiple Terra: Okay, let's wrap this up! (Terra fights Aqua and wins) Terra: It comes with experience. (Ven fights Terra and wins) Ventus: Told ya I'm good. (Aqua fights Ven and wins) Aqua: Looks like I win. Ventus: Trust me, you guys are ready. You're gonna clean up at the exam tomorrow. Terra: I hope it's that easy. Aqua: It's like the Master said. Power is born within the heart. When the time is right, you just need to look inside yourself and you'll find it there. (Ven stares at the night sky again) Terra: Hey, we're gonna head back. Ventus: Yeah. Me too! (Aqua stands, holding her charm) (She joins Terra and Aqua and they walk back to the castle) Terra, Aqua, & Ven: That would be the last night we ever spent beneath the same stars. (The scene changes to a mouse) Mickey Mouse: Whoa! (Mickey Mouse stands atop a large open book sailing on top of rough water) Mickey Mouse: Ah! (He sails over a large wave and falls back onto the book. Another wave comes at him from the front and he's swept away in the circular current. He shoots out of the water, having lost the book, and lands...in Yen Sid's Study. He stands up and massages his head, looking sheepish as he walks over to a desk. A stern looking wizard with a pointy hat and robes of blue looked down on him from behind it. He makes a pensive noise) Yen Sid: Mickey... I cannot shake the feeling something terrible is about to transpire. Mickey Mouse (turning his head): Hm? (Outside the window, three stars twinkle in the sky. The next day, sunlight streams through the stained glass window in the Throne Room of the Land of Departure as Terra and Aqua face three large chairs, two occupied. Ven looks over and sees an elderly man with yellow eyes who returns his gaze. Ven looks away. A second man stands up from his chair, making Ven stand at attention. The man walks forward and surveys those gathered with his brown eyes) Master Eraqus: Today you will be examined for the Mark of Mastery. Not one but two of the Keyblade's chosen stand here as candidates, but this is neither a competition nor a battle for supremacy--not a test of wills, but a test of heart. Both of you may prevail, or neither. But I am sure our guest, Master Xehanort, did not travel all this way to see our youngest prospects in years fall short of the Mark. (He looks toward the elderly man in the chair, who makes a nodding motion) Master Eraqus (revealing his Keyblade): Then let the examination begin. (He holds the blade vertically and holds his hand to the hilt, creating a small aura. Five white balls of light appear in midair and Terra and Aqua ready their Keyblades. Master Xehanort adjusts his hand and the balls mix darkness with the light. Surprising Terra, Aqua, and Master Eraqus, he smiles. Terra and Aqua begin eliminating the orbs. One flies over to Ven) Terra & Aqua: Ven! (Ven takes out his Keyblade and strikes it down) Ventus: Don't worry about me. You two focus on the exam! Aqua: But Ven, you're in danger here! Go wait in your room. Ventus: No way! I've been looking forward to this--seeing you two become Masters. I'm not gonna miss it now! Terra: He can take care of himself. He's been out there training just as hard as us. Ventus: Yeah! Aqua: Stay sharp, Ven. (Together they eliminate the orbs) Master Eraqus: That was unexpected...but one must keep a still heart even in the most trying of circumstances. It was an excellent test, one I chose to let unfold. Which brings us to your next trial. (Terra and Aqua face each other) Master Eraqus: Now, Terra and Aqua, the two of you will face each other in combat. Remember, there are no winners--only truths, for when equal powers clash, their nature is revealed. your tiny world? KINGDOM HEARTS
