    Somewhere in the Realm of Darkness

    Aux and Nequa are seen walking along through the dark abyss. Small islands of lands surround the main road along with vortexes of darkness in the skies above. Aux was still riding his keyglider at walking speed with Nequa strolling beside him. Snow White was still attached to his vehicle in deep slumber,
    "Did our master explain his reasons for having us depart prematurely?" Aux asked.
    "Let's get one thing straight. I'm no one's apprentice. Our goals are merely... alike. As for his reasons, you'll hafta ask that weirdo yourself. He's too damn secretive and switches plans every other hour.Hard to track his mindset."
    "And his recent orders to Vanitas?"
    "Who knows. Think it was to go fetch another keyblader or something."
    "I see," Aux added disappointed. Switching the conversation pattern, Nequa chose to go into a different approach.
    "So what's your gain from all this? Vanitas wants to be whole or whatever, and my goals are the same as the old man's. So what do you get out of it?"
    "Unlocking the secrets of the hear," he replied bluntly. "A personal study of mine is to examine the hearts of people. The ins and outs of what corrupts them and keeps them at bay. But I need subjects to carry out that research. With each mission the master sends me on, I receive new opportunities to broaden that horizon."
    "So you're one of those scientists who aren't satisfied with the black and white answer of 'light' and 'darkness'?"
    "Precisely."
    "Heh, you should take another look at the team your playing for. Things are going to get really dark, really fast."
    "Precisely," he repeated.



    Land of Departure

    Descending down into the Land of Departure, it was strange how a world he had only visited once became so familiar. A sanctuary to which he and the others could rest and recuperate on the next coming strategy. It reminded him of his own home and days at the academy. These memories, however were not all happy due to events leading up tot he current circumstances. Subconsciously, the setting around him phased into his interpretation of his academy. People in masked uniform regaling on their recent accomplishments, eager to what lay ahead. He would turn in hopes of seeing his friend -
    "I trust you were successful?" What was meant to be Aux, has phased back from his memory to his current location. Yen Sid's wizard hat was standing tall over him.
    "Sort of... I found he was looking for." he sadly lamented.
    "So I've been reading," he confirmed. "The pages on the book have been flying since your departures. There has been victory, but there has also been loss."
    That was true. Looking around, he saw no sign of keybladers who left with them; Leo, Lars, Noroz, and probably others who have been met along the way. He took note of the unfamiliar faces as well. At least seven to even out the ones that had yet to return. four of the wielders he encountered in deep Jungle were still here to fight on though. He was at least thankful for that and those who had arrived.
    "Yeah. We couldn't- I couldn't save her."
    "Then it is best to learn from your mistakes and strive towards another attempt."
    Krowley continued to replay in his mind the final moments against Aux in Dwarf Woodlands. After all that time trying to find him and talk, he instead blasted him away. As if he were a mere insect that meant nothing to him...

    KHV's Top 10
    ~Worlds~
    To date, there have been over 35 worlds featured in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. While most of these are Disney, there are still some originally created favorites from the Square Enix side of the department. When traversing through these worlds, it is often to "teach" the characters something, or lead them to a new world. Some worlds may not have a purpose other to entertain select fans. But what is it about the worlds we like? The films they're based off, the musical score, the plot, the enviornment? Once again, KHV's Top 10 explores voters choices and why certain worlds may be more popular than others. So here are KHV's Top 10 Worlds of the franchise.

    #10) HalloweenTown
    Votes: 5
    Average Ranking: 5.4
    The only Tim Burton world thus far to be featured in the series. Halloweentown is based off the 1993 film; The Nightmare Before Christmas, and comes with a spooky theme to match it's name. Halloweentown is always dark and really captures the fun side of terror with the atmosphere, to the heartless you face. In Kingdom Hearts 2, this world was expanded into "Christmas Town," which being the opposite of Halloweentown, still kept that same atmosphere in the light all around feeling of the season themed world. While everything may seem dark and grey, this world is full of surprises and terrors to keep you returning.​

    #9) Keyblade Graveyard
    Votes: 5
    Average Ranking: 4.2
    A barren wasteland of fallen keybladers, the Keyblade Graveyard is the result of the legend of the keyblade war. Where people fought over the light of Kingdom Hearts, which eventually caused darkness to overtake the heart of all worlds with the only remnants of that past being the keyblades scattered all across the world. With nothing but mountains and earth as far as the eye can see, it tall maintains a certain charm about it. In Birth by Sleep, it fulfilled its purpose of being a fitted setting for each character's final battle.​

    #8) Symphony of Sorcery
    Votes: 6
    Average Ranking: 7.5
    To all melody and music lovers, you will find yourself immersed into the sights and sounds of Symphony of Sorcery. Based off the 1940 film; Fantasia, the locations and music are based off individual segments. Three of the films classical pieces were also featured as part of completing the world; The Pastoral Symphony, The Nutcracker Suite, and The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Some of my favorite moments include the rematch with Chernabog (Giant dark satanic monster and final Disney boss in the first Kingdom Hearts) and when Sora and Riku compose the Dearly beloved track together. Based off one of Disney's first films, it still captures the magic of Disney and desire from Nomura, who wanted to do this world for quite some time.

    #7) Beast's Castle
    Votes: 6
    Average Ranking: 6.3
    Fighting alongside Beast in the first Kingdom Hearts, the player never really gets to see where he and Belle are from. In Kingdom Hearts 2, Beast's Castle appears as the dark and enchanted castle in which beast and his castle staff had turned into their respected cursed forms. The enitre setting of the world takes place in the castle, where everything looks dark and abandoned, save for the grand ballroom. Beast's Caslte is based off the 1991 film; Beauty and the Beast.​

    #6) Radiant Garden
    Votes: 6
    Average Ranking: 5.6
    Originally introduced as Hollow bastion, Radiant Garden is home to many Final Fantasy favorites and the human forms of the first 8 members of Organization XIII. A lush and glorious kingdom, it is filled with many fountains, flowers, and a very bright setting. However, this beautiful world only gets to be explored in Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts 2. This was due to Maleficent's take over which transformed the world into Hollow Bastion for over a 10 year gap.​

    #5) The World that Never Was
    Votes: 6
    Average Ranking: 4.8
    The World that never was is home base to Orgnization XIII, as well as a world engulfed near the darkness. So much in fact, that many a heartless and nobody will be spawning everywhere. The most notable landmark is in the center of the industrial city; The Castle that Never was. Most of the world' exploration takes place inside the nobody themed castle and is heavily featured at the end of Kingdom Hearts 2 and prior to Roxas' mission in 358/2 Days. This dark city world was recently featured in Dream, Drop, Distance as the final world and continues to hold it's setting as one of the worlds closest to the darkness.​

    #4) Destiny Islands
    Votes: 6
    Average Ranking: 4.3
    The place where it all began; Destiny Islands. One day, you're collecting provisions for a raft and being competitive with your pals, the following night, you find your island being engulfed by darkness, causing you to summon the keyblade and go on a most epic adventure through many worlds. Ahh childhood... Both console games ended with Destiny Islands, both showing lovely CGI, accompanied by a memorable ending, and an Utada Hikaru song. It's featured in every game in the series, but is only playable in the first. Little known fact; If you rearrange "Destiny island," you get "It's Disney Land."​

    #3) Hollow Bastion
    Votes: 8
    Average Ranking: 4.3
    Hollow Bastion is the heartless-transformed world formerly known as Radiant gardens. It was featured heavily in both Kingdom Hearts console game.It was Maleficent's home base where she assembled the council of Disney villains in Kingdom hearts, and home base to Sora and the previous Radiant Garden residents in Kingdom hearts 2. While there were alternate means of travel in the first game (Lift stops, Bubbles) the second game is more explorable by foot, allowing the player to explore new areas. One area that is shown but cannot be accessed is villain's vale. (The towered base of operations for Maleficent and Pete) while everyone has their reasons for liking this world, one thing I enjoy in particular about it is the music track; "Scherzo Di Notte." Eventually this world is returned to it's original state of Radiant Garden, but based off KHV's voters, this variation of the world holds some favored memories and areas.​

    #2) Twilight Town
    Votes: 9
    Average Ranking: 4.0
    First seen in Chain of Memories, I didn't recognize this world at all. Originally I was trying to decipher if it was from a Disney film, but I later found out it was an original world. Twilight Town is the home and "birthplace" of Roxas. A very serene and pleasant town, it is one of the more expanded worlds to date in the series. You get to spend your time traversing the areas for a whole week in Kingdom hearts 2 as Roxas, so there is plenty of time to see what the town has to offer; Struggle battles, paid jobs, wide range of space. Twilight Town has an "endless sunset" charm to it, where it always feels like the end of the day. It plays a very emotional role to Roxas and holds some of the more memorable talks a the top of the town's clock tower. Because after a hard day, what's better than sitting with your pals, eating sea Salt ice cream, and watching a never ending sunset. (Though I think I might get annoyed at a sunset that never sets...)​

    #1) Traverse Town
    Votes: 10
    Average Ranking: 3.3
    So after the traumatic experience of having your home destroyed, you black out and are awoken by a dog licking your face. Dazed and confused, you don't know where the heck you are, only that you aren't home. Yes, to many long time fans, Traverse Town holds a special place in their gaming heart as the first playable world that kick started your journey into the world of Kingdom Hearts. (In the series sense, not the heart of all worlds sense) Many firsts are experienced in this town; first Final Fantasy cameo, first Party members, first Emblem Heartless Boss battle, first magic spell learned, first Summon gained, first world to feature characters outside the Final Fantasy series, and first Secret Disney boss. The 3 district layout is upgraded to 5 in Dream, Drop Distance, where thanks to flow motion, players can traverse through traverse town like never before. While the first 3 districts have a Victorian setting, the 2 added districts hold a more modern appeal. Whatever your reason for liking or disliking the world, Traverse Town was the first to hold your judgement.​

    Hello to all loyal and newly joined members. The staff at KHV would like to bring back to you the return of "KHV's Top 10." A monthly countdown of members' top 10 choices regarding subjects related to kingdom hearts. The subject in question can vary from characters, places, objects, etc. As for how the subject is decided upon, this could be based off recent Kingdom Hearts News or popular requests. (If anyone has a favored topic, feel free to suggest one!)

    Instead of hearing just one person's boring opinion, members are able to chip in their own ranked selections that will be tallied and averaged at the end of the time frame. At the end of every month, an announcement thread will be set up to reveal the topic for that month. Your choices should be ranked 1-10 (#1 being the top pick) and will be sent privately to Krowley. Why send it privately, you ask? This is to keep things anonymous and more anticipated instead of easily predicted.

    Both Console games were on a Sony system, so I get why it's on the PS3. (As Misty said, Xbox isn't very popular in Japan) This makes me glad to own a PS3 and happy you will get to enjoy it in all your Sony Girl splendor.
