In this section, I go over a few things that are worth knowing but are hard tofind or are unavailable in other guides.

If you are completely new to Kingdom Hearts 2, first read the manual onlinefor the original game: http://www.replacementdocs.com/download.php?view.4781Then, try skimming through the Basics sections of walkthroughs.

Warning: The functions of Circle and X are switched for Japanese releases! This means that you now push Circle to attack instead of X!

COMBOING-------- Sora attacks using combos. Normally, he does two weak "combo attacks" followedby one strong "finishing move". He then pauses and is temporarily vulnerable.Combo attacks and finishing moves can be either sword swings or spells, andthey can be mixed and matched. For example, you can do two sword swings andthen cast Blizzard as a finishing move.

There are several exceptions, however. First of all, there are abilitiesthat increase or decrease how many combo attacks you do in one combo (ComboPlus and Negative Combo), and there is an ability that increases the numberof finishing moves you do in one combo (Finishing Plus). Combo Plus makesindividual combos more damaging but increases the chance that you will becounter-attacked or hit from behind. Negative Combo makes individual combosweaker, but it allows you to get to finishing moves faster and safer. It isparticularly good for mini-games.

Reflect makes this more complicated. Used as a combo attack, it makes you

Page 3: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

invincible for a short time. Used as a finishing move, it does that AND itdamages nearby enemies (but leaves you vulnerable afterwards). If somethinghits your reflect spell, it automatically becomes a finishing move, therebyskipping part of your combo. Thus, a single Reflect can do damage if you areattacked while it is up. This can actually be bad if you want to stayinvincible longer, but you can prevent it from happening by Reflecting againright away. Confusing? Heck yeah. Similarly, Magnet always counts as afinishing move and thus skips part of your combo.

Note that bosses and certain objects (e.g. urns in Phil's training or Vexen'sshield) cannot be killed by combo attack sword swings.

LEVEL 1 CHALLENGES AND ZERO EXPERIENCE--------------------------------------

On Critical mode, you begin with the ability Zero Experience. While this isequipped, you gain no experience. This is a bad thing... unless you want tointentionally make the game harder by playing through at a low level. At level1, you still gain abilities and hit points from beating bosses. By the end, youwill have all active abilities, but you will have very bad stats and you willbe missing many passive abilities, including Once More and Second Chance (seeSection 1.3). This means most bosses and some normal enemies have attacks thatcan instantly kill you.

People have gotten to the end of the game and beaten every optional boss atlevel 1 without using stat boosts, so it is possible, but it is very hard. Toget 100% journal completion, I think a little bit of stat boosting is requiredfor the mushroom mini-games, and the required scores on the Paradox cups areabsolutely hellish. I do not know of anyone actually completing all of this,but I do think it is possible.

If you want to try this challenge, the best place for tips is YouTube, whereyou should look for videos by apulapul2000 and Bizkit047.

GUMMI SHIP----------

The Gummi Ship minigame can be pretty intimidating at first look. Here's a goodblueprint for a first ship:

Page 4: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

- Get HP. This can be done by placing a single big gummi lump. I suggest picking one with around 100 to 200 HP. Note that other gummi blocks can overlap the gummi lump. - Get weapons. I suggest cannons. You want to be able to deal some damage all around you, and concentrated damage directly in front of you. The latter can be done with Fire/Boomerang/Gravity type weapons. The former can be done with Blizzard/Shuriken type weapons. - Get more power. This is the symbol on the bottom-right that looks like a cannon blast. The higher your power, the more damage your attacks do. The simplest way to raise power is to add Neon Bars and Neon Orbs. - Choose some abilities. If you are looking for a high score for a rank 3 mission, consider Draw and Medal Converter. Otherwise, you can take whatever you want. Note: In Final Mix+, you need much, much higher scores to complete rank 3 missions than you did in the original game!If you rely on cannons (and you should), then you should turn on Full Autofiring in the Gummi paused menu. See Menu Layout below. Unlike KH1, there are afixed number of Gummi blocks in this game. Each one can be attained once bykilling a specific enemy or gaining a specific rank on a mission.

For more information, try looking at Daburke's Gummi Ship FAQ for KH2: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/915410/42268Be warned that the stats for many gummi blocks are different for FM+.

GUMMI BLOCK LOCATIONS--------------------- The ordering on these lists corresponds roughly to when the enemies first appear, which should help you pinpoint items you are missing. Enemies are preceded by a two letter code (e.g. "LR" or "BG"). The first letter tells you which direction the enemy is in (Front, Back, Left, Right). The second letter tells you if the enemy is Red or Gold. If the enemy is colored normally, the letter is omitted. You get the Crown Gummi automatically after getting all other gummi blocks. +=================+====================+=================+====================+| ASTEROID SWEEP 1 | ASTEROID SWEEP 2 |+-----------------+--------------------+-----------------+--------------------+| Caterpillar/G | EX S Rank | Shuriken/G | EX S Rank || Patt Skin A | S Rank | Highwnd Alpha M | S Rank || Neon Orb/G | A Rank | Propeller/G | A Rank || Mini-Prp/G | B Rank | Large Shield/G | B Rank || Fira/G | C Rank | Fira/G | C Rank || Thundara/G | D Rank | Saw/G | D Rank || Laser Upgrade | E Rank | Gravira/G | E Rank |+-----------------+--------------------+-----------------+--------------------+| Gravity/G | Completion | Fire/G | BR Knight Head || Thunder/G | L Ring Tank | Tempest/G | BG UFO || Fire/G | BR Knight Head | Tempest/G | RG Ring Tank || Blizzard/G | FR Knight Head | Blizzard/G | FR UFO || Material/G | FR Knight Head | Propeller/G | FR Spider || Neon Bar/G | FG Knight Head | Fire/G | BR Knight Head || Square Light/G | FR UFO | Blizzard/G | FR Mega Tank || Flat Helm/G | FR UFO | Kingdom M | FG Spider |

End of Twilight Town Day 4 (Organization XIII headquarters)-----------------------------------------------------------

Axel: Get rid of him? He just needs more time!Xaldin: It's an order. Why are you hesitating? Aren't you the one who dealt swift merciless judgment to those who turned their back on the Organization?Axel: He hasn't turned his back on us! He just hasn't come back yet, that's all!Xaldin: If he doesn't come back, then he must pay the price. And if you oppose

Page 49: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

these orders, you will be the one to pay.Axel: You would turn me into a Dusk? Fine! I'll do it, I'll do it!

After leaving Twilight Town (Sunset Hill)-----------------------------------------

Axel: He's gone.Riku: Let's go now.Axel: You don't have any place to go, do you? And you don't have anywhere to go back to either, right? Such things don't exist for people like us.Namine: That's right - there's no place for me in this world. Still, I do have some places I want to go and some people I want to see.Axel: Yeah, same here. So... why don't you just let us go? That old guy told you to get rid of us, didn't he?Namine: Really?Riku: Go.Axel: You don't think you should finish the task right here?Riku: I owe you two.Namine: Do you?Riku: Yes, from Castle Oblivion.Axel: Alright... thank you then.Namine: I'm sorry...

After opening Hollow Bastion first keyhole (Organization XIII headquarters)---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xaldin: The hero of light seemed quite shocked. It's 10 years too early for a child like that to wield the Keyblade.Xigbar: Well, that's good for us. Now he'll obediently keep along his path. Just like someone of the light.Saix: If he doesn't, then he is of no use to us.Luxord: Well, then he might be entertaining. I'll pass out some cards.Demyx: Pick a good one for me! If so, we'll be fine!Xigbar: Well, aren't you the confident one? So if anything happens, you'll handle it?Demyx: Huh? Me?! Y'know, menial labor isn't really my thing...Xaldin: Stop this - acting like you have hearts misleading you. We feel nothing.Luxord: How boring. There goes my entertainment.Saix: Those who forget our true goals will be eliminated.Xemnas: Everyone. The wielder of the Keyblade is once again walking the path. Let us plant some seeds in that path. Go.

After opening Twilight Town first keyhole (Organization XIII headquarters)--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 50: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Saix: I told Sora. I told him to keep defeating the Heartless.Xemnas: Well done. You not only hurt him, but you also threw his heart into confusion. Yes, this will gain us many hearts. Now Sora is confused and hesitant. In the depths of his confusion, he will begin to hate even himself... and in attempting to shake off the confusion, he will continue on more determined than ever before - on to our future.Saix: One thing concerns me.Xemnas: Axel? That compassionate fool. He continues to follow the illusion of a friendship that he cannot feel. And he still believes that he can recover what he has lost. Give him something to really be sorry about.

Before Demyx battle, part one (Computer room)---------------------------------------------

Xehanort: Master Ansem. Regarding the experiment I presented the other day... with your permission, I'd like to proceed.Ansem: Enough! Forget this talk of doors, and the heart of all worlds. That place must not be defiled!Xehanort: But, Master Ansem! I've been thinking...Ansem: Xehanort - those thoughts are best forgotten.Xemnas: It's been a long time... my friend.

Before Demyx battle, part two (Twilight's View)-----------------------------------------------

Vexen: Zexion! Zexion!Zexion: What's all this fuss about?Vexen: Where's Xemnas?Zexion: At the usual place.Vexen: The Room of Sleep.Zexion: If it's so urgent, why don't you just go and see?Vexen: Stop joking around! I will await his return. I must. This is what happens when we need him and he sleeps. Now, of all times...Xigbar: I'm not so good in that place either. How about you, Mister Zexion?Zexion: What are you doing, eavesdropping like that? The mission assigned to you and Xaldin was to look for new members. You shouldn't be able to afford wasting time around here.Xigbar: I'm doing enough work already! Found another one, just yesterday. I think his new name is "Mar-" something or other. With him, the Organization now has 11 members. That's quite a number. And so just for today, I asked Lexaeus to cover for me so I could take a break... in

Page 51: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

anticipation of tomorrow's work, that is.Zexion: Then please rest fully. I have work to do for today, so I'll be going-Xigbar: So harsh of you. I just wanted to have a little chat... about, say, Xemnas's secret. How many years ago was it? People with the blade of keys started to appear and they fought great battles. When they were gone, a man who had lost his memories appeared. Xemnas... no? Xehanort was taken in by Ansem at around this time, was he not?Zexion: What of it?Xigbar: The Room of Sleep... the underground laboratory where we were studying the darkness within people's hearts... the place that Ansem ordered us to seal away. The first thing Xemnas did when he got rid of our wise yet bothersome leader was to release the seal and to make that room within the depths of our laboratory. After that, he frequently went down there, and I could hear him talking with someone. Isn't that odd? Xemnas is supposed to be in there alone.Zexion: It seems you really do enjoy your eavesdropping.Xigbar: I couldn't hear what they were actually saying. And now it's bothering me. You're interested too, right?Zexion: I just want to concentrate on my assignment. You too should concentrate on your real mission, and collect more members. We must hurry with the preparations for our new quarters. Eleven members is not enough.Xigbar: Our new quarters - ah yes, Castle Oblivion. What does Xemnas hope to achieve with that?Zexion: We've been told that.Xigbar: There's another reason, one that hasn't been told to anyone. With the Room of Sleep comes the Room of Awakening. The other place - that is what he is seeking. That room, which was not made by Xemnas, perhaps that is where the other "friend" is.

After 1000 Heartless battle (Organization XIII headquarters)------------------------------------------------------------

Saix: Sora knows the truth now: the more Heartless he defeats, the more he plays into our hands. And yet... I never thought he would make it this far.Xigbar: What else can we do? Sora can't neglect those suffering at the hands of the Heartless. His heart commands him.Luxord: The die is cast. Sora cannot stop now.

Page 52: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Xaldin: Be wary. If you lose that die roll, you will share Demyx's fate.Luxord: Don't you understand? This is no game to be won or lost - we cannot afford to gamble on this.Xigbar: If we are forced to eliminate Sora, our plan can still continue, right?Xemnas: If it came to that, yes. We would have no choice.Xaldin: That's good. I can only put up with so much of this.

After entering the World that Never Was (Organization XIII headquarters)------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xigbar: Seems we're getting a lot more empty seats now. I did find Axel's show entertaining, but still... he just went and died.Luxord: Maybe he was satisfied. Maybe he got something from putting his life on the line.Xigbar: We don't exist! What life is there to put on the line? That goes against all the rules of gambling.Luxord: Indeed. Axel put something that didn't exist on the line... and he probably won - obviously a cheater.Saix: It doesn't matter. All he got was nothingness. Axel couldn't stand living without a heart. And he was destroyed by getting close to one. He was weak.Xemnas: But... some things awaken through weakness. You can see. Axel touched Sora's heart. When he was with Sora, perhaps he awakened too.

After Roxas battle, part one (Old Mansion)------------------------------------------

Xemnas: Do you want to know? You feel nothing. You can feel nothing. Do you want a meaning?Roxas: Roxas.Xemnas: A new you.

After Roxas battle, part two (Station Heights)----------------------------------------------

Axel: Finally woken up?Roxas: Axel.Axel: Nope, maybe you're going to sleep. Soon I won't even be able to talk to your consciousness like this.Roxas: I... I'm going back to how I was.Axel: I've thought about it a lot. Namine said the same thing. Roxas, you have a heart, don't you? While Namine and I... we don't really have hearts, do

Page 53: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

we?Roxas: I... I don't know either.Axel: I guess not...Roxas: But the heart's not something you can see. I've started wondering whether it's something you can't even feel either... If so, then... Nah, never mind...Axel: Hm? What are you getting at?Roxas: I'm sure Sora'll find the answer. Because he's me.Axel: Yeah, that's true... This really takes me back. Do you remember? We first met the day you got your new name. And then we watched the sunset from up here.Roxas: Yeah. This is where I came from. Everyone... Hayner, Pence, Olette... I hope they're okay.Axel: You should go and see them again, looking for your answer.Roxas: Yeah... So... I have to go. Sora's waiting for me.Axel: Yeah, I guess he is... Whoa, this ice-cream really is salty!Roxas: Goodbye, Axel.Axel: Goodbye... partner.

After Saix battle (Memory's Skyscraper)---------------------------------------

Roxas: Quit fooling around!Riku: What's wrong, Sora? Are you done already? Pretty pathetic.Roxas: What are you talking about? You're the one who's losing!Riku: You really are his Nobody. I guess I'll have to trust DiZ.Roxas: Why do you keep talking about him? I'm myself! I'm me! You can't beat me, no matter how much you try!Riku: I guess so... Looks like I have to do it.Roxas: Do what?Riku: The power sitting in my heart... the power suppressed by my heart... if I were to be someone else... the power of darkness.Riku: He sensed Sora.Ansem: Did he say that he hated Sora? What a joke. A Nobody cannot feel emotion.Riku: If he were to meet Sora, that might be different.

Before Xemnas Throne Battle #2------------------------------

Sora: I didn't say it.Riku: Huh?Sora: I didn't say thank you to Namine. I never did think it would be easy to say unless everything was set right again.Riku: Let's finish this... You'll meet her again.Sora: Yeah.

Before Terra Battle-------------------

Page 54: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Terra: Aqua... Ven... Keyblade... Who are you? I can feel it - we have met before. But when... No... it isn't you... It isn't you that I have chosen. Why isn't it him? Xe...ha...ort... Is that you? Xeha...nort... Xehanort!

After Terra Battle------------------

Terra: I see. Your strength is... What I sensed in you is...

++=========================================++ +++=========================================+++ ||| ||| ||| 2. KINGDOM HEARTS RE: CHAIN OF MEMORIES ||| ||| ||| +++=========================================+++ ++=========================================++

=========== 2.0. BASICS ===========

If you are completely new to Chain of Memories, first read the manual onlinefor the original game: http://www.replacementdocs.com/download.php?view.2311

GETTING STARTED WITH SORA-------------------------

All attacks in Chain of Memories are done with cards. If both you and an enemyattack at the same time, the higher card will "break" the lower card. Thismeans the lower card will be canceled and its owner will be stunned. Oneexception to this is that a 0 card will break anything else (but it will alsobe broken by anything else).

You may also play sleights, which are combinations of cards that together havespecial powers. Triangle adds a card to your sleight, L1+R1 uses your sleightin its current form, and L2 clears your sleight. A sleight has value equal tothe sum of the cards in it, which makes it harder (but not impossible) tobreak. While you do not need to memorize all sleights, they are very importantin the later part of the game. AOE sleights (Quake, Trinity Limit, Freeze, Mega

Page 55: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Flare, etc.) are great for killing random monsters quickly. Ragnarok and ArsArcanum deal fantastic damage to bosses, but you will probably need to stunthem first with Strike Raid or you will get broken right away. Bosses will alsouse sleights against you, so you should be ready to break them with 0 cards.

The main disadvantage of sleights is that when you use one, the first card inyour sleight will be unavailable for the rest of the battle, even if you reloadyour deck. A few powerful item cards can reverse this effect but an item canonly be used once per battle no matter what. You can also get premium cards,which are cheaper than regular cards, but which can be used only once perbattle no matter how they are used. As with sleights, premium cards can beregained with certain items.

Most deck cards require doing something special before you can get them (e.g.open a chest on a certain floor or beat a certain boss). From that point forth,you should be able to find the card randomly, both from Moogles and in thefield. Enemy cards are sometimes dropped by the last monster you kill in anygiven battle. These can be used with the Select button, and they give somespecial power to Sora for a certain duration. Certain cards can only be gottenafter winning Final Mix+ or after completing Reverse/Rebirth (see below).

When you level up, you will be given an option between increasing your HP,increasing your Card Points (the maximum number and value of cards in yourdeck), and gaining a new sleight. I suggest taking sleights whenever possible,and otherwise, taking Card Points about 2/3 of the time.

Other things to consider:- Different keyblades do very different damage depending on when you use them in your 3-hit combo. You should take this into account while constructing and using your decks.- Magic and summons are always powerful, but watch out for elemental resistance. Caster enemies will often be healed, not hurt, by your magic. On the other hand, some enemies have weaknesses to certain types of magic. For example, Vexen is weak against fire. GETTING STARTED WITH RIKU

Page 56: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

-------------------------

After completing the game with Sora, you can start a new game with Riku. Thiswill give you a parallel story with different cutscenes and a relativelydifferent combat system. You will be traveling through approximately the sameareas fighting many of the same bosses.

With Riku, you do not gain deck cards or sleights as you play, and you do notget to build your own deck. Instead, you will be given a deck on each floorconsisting only of Soul Eaters, potions, and enemy cards. In addition to basicattacks, Riku has two other options:

- Dark mode. Every time you break or are broken by an enemy, you gain or lose dark points. Once you hit 30 dark points, you switch into dark mode where you are faster, stronger, and have the option of using Soul Eater sleights. You will revert at the end of the fight or if you get hit/broken too much. - Duels. If you break an enemy with a card of the same value, you can trigger a duel with Triangle. Here, you have a fixed time to break 3, 5 or 7 of the enemy's cards. (There is no penalty for playing a card that is too low during the duel). If you win the duel, you do a strong AOE attack. If you lose the duel, you are stunned and the enemy gets a free attack.

When you level up, you will be given an option between increasing your HP,increasing your Attack Points (how much damage you do on hits), and increasingyour Dark Points (how long you can stay in dark form before reverting). Isuggest taking AP whenever possible and taking Dark Points about 1/2 of thetime otherwise.

GETTING JOURNAL COMPLETION WITH SORA------------------------------------

- Use Warp against White Mushrooms.- To get the Pluto friend card, use sleights or premium cards to eliminate most of your deck during a fight. It will then appear with high probability.- Diamond Dust appears randomly in Castle Oblivion after you defeat Marluxia.- One-Winged Angel appears randomly in Twilight Town after you defeat Marluxia.

Page 57: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

- The Dark Ball enemy card is not available to Sora.- The Gold and Platinum cards appear in the first two chests you open after getting 100% journal completion.

Introduction------------

Marluxia: Ahead lies something you hold dear - but to claim it, you must lose something first.

Floor One Landing-----------------

Goofy: You sure we should just barge in like this?Donald: We have to if we're gonna find the king...Goofy: The king?! King Mickey's here?Donald: Maybe, maybe not. Something told me he'd be here, that's all.Goofy: Now that you mention it, I was thinkin' the same thing.Sora: Are you serious? So was I! One look at this castle, and I just knew: They're here.Goofy: Great minds think alike I guess.Jiminy: Guess again! This can't be mere coincidence.Donald: Why Jiminy? Don't tell me that-Jiminy: Yeah! I'm feeling the same thing!Goofy: Gawrsh, maybe it's contagious.Donald: Or maybe something funny's going on! I think we should check it out.Sora: Okay.Donald: Hey, where are you going?Sora: To check it out! What's the matter, scared?Donald: D-Don't be ridiculous! Come on, Goofy!Goofy: Okay, but we should shut the door behind us. Sora!Sora: Who is THAT?!

Page 71: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Donald: It must be a Heartless! Let's see how it handles my magic! THUNDER! Huh? THUNDER! THUNDER! Umm... BLIZZARD! FIRE! Why isn't my magic working?Marluxia: I should think it obvious. The moment you set foot in this castle, you forgot every spell and ability you knew. In this place, to find is to lose and to lose is to find. That is the way of things in Castle Oblivion.Sora: Castle Oblivion?Marluxia: Here you will meet people you know. People you miss.Sora: Look, there's no one - Riku! You mean Riku! He IS here!Marluxia: Do you want to find him? If you do...Sora: What did you do?Marluxia: I sampled your memories. And from them, I made this. This is the key to reuniting with those you hold dear.Sora: What is this, a card?Marluxia: A promise. Use that card and press on. The card will open the door to a new world. Go, Sora. To lose and claim anew, or to claim anew only to lose...Sora: C'mon guys - let's go.

Floor Two Landing (part one)----------------------------

Marluxia: Well, Sora? Did you enjoy meeting your memories?Sora: It was good to see everyone again. But what do you want from me?Marluxia: That depends.Axel: Hey!Marluxia: What do you want?Axel: Hogging the hero?Marluxia: Perhaps you'd like to test him. Test his heart.Axel: Looks like it's my show now, Keyblade master! The name's Axel. Got it memorized?Sora: Um... sure.Axel: Good, you learn quick. So, Sora, now that we're on a first-name basis... Don't go dying on me!

Floor Two Landing (part two)----------------------------

Goofy: More cards?Jiminy: Hmm... They look kind of like the card that made Traverse Town.Sora: Then we need these to go on...Axel: Correct.Donald: Axel!Axel: After an introduction like that, you don't think I'd just give up the ghost?Sora: So you were just testing our strength?

Page 72: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Axel: And you passed! Congratulations, Sora. You're ready to take on Castle Oblivion. Follow your memories. Trust what you remember, seek what you forget... and you will find someone very special.Goofy: You mean Riku and the king?Axel: Well, I don't know. You'll just have to give some more thought to who's most important to you. Our most precious memories lie deep in our hearts, out of reach. But you can find yours, Sora.Sora: How?Axel: The light within the darkness. You've lost sight of it, Sora. You've forgotten forgetting.Sora: Light? I don't understand...Axel: Would you like a hint?Goofy: Well, Sora?Sora: No, I want to figure it out for myself. And if you get in my way-Donald: He won't! We won't let him!Axel: That's my kind of answer. Just what I'd expect from the Keyblade master. But be forewarned... when your sleeping memories awaken, you may no longer be you.

Floor Two Landing (part three)------------------------------

Jiminy: Hmm...Sora: Something wrong, Jiminy?Jiminy: What Axel said's been bothering me. What could he have meant by, "You may no longer be you"?Sora: Come on. How can I be anyone besides me?Jiminy: I know, I know. Still, it always pays to be careful.Goofy: Yeah, just about anything could happen here in Castle Oblibbity... uh, Oblostemy...Donald: Oblivion!Goofy: Right, what you said.Sora: We'll be fine. Whatever they're cooking up, together we can handle it.Goofy: Hey, remember that other castle we explored together? With all the contraptions?Sora: When was that?Donald: I don't remember any castle like that. What was it called?Goofy: Gawrsh, what was it again? Holla... Holler... Gee... I must have forgotten.Donald: Oh, for Pete's sake!Sora: Are you making this up?Goofy: I don't think so...

Floor Three Landing (part one)------------------------------

Page 73: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Donald: What is it?Goofy: It's that castle I mentioned earlier. I'm sure I didn't make it up. That was the castle where Sora used the Keyblade to free Kairi's heart. Then he disappeared for a while. I'll never forget how worried I was.Sora: Oh, yeah! When I turned into a Heartless! Wait... that happened in... a castle?Donald: You forgot? Well, I remember it perfectly.Sora: What was it called then?Donald: Easy! It was... Hey, Jiminy. You wrote down everything that happened in your journal, right?Jiminy: Every letter! I finished off the first volume right before we got to this castle. Let's see if I can find the old book... Ah, here it is! Let's have a look... Th-This isn't possible!Goofy: What's wrong?Jiminy: All the entries have vanished! Every page, blank!Donald: What?!Jiminy: How could this happen?! I take such good care of my journals! All that hard work, gone...Sora: What kind of castle is this...

Floor Three Landing (part two)------------------------------

Donald: How could everything Jiminy wrote just vanish like that?Sora: Maybe it's not just the stuff we write down. Goofy said we've been to some other castle. But I don't remember it at all. Maybe... maybe we don't remember because those memories are gone.Donald: Gone? Are you crazy?Jiminy: Wait! Remember what Axel said? "In this place, to find is to lose and to lose is to find." He was talking about memories!Sora: So if we keep going, we'll lose our memories... No wonder they call it Castle Oblivion.Donald: So... the higher we go, the more we forget? What if we forget everything and can't get it back?Sora: I'd forget Riku and Kairi, too...Donald: Maybe we should turn back.Goofy: Don't worry! We might forget where we've been or what we've seen, but we won't forget our friends.Donald: I'm not sure...Goofy: Sora, when you turned into a Heartless, did you forget about us?Sora: Of course not!Goofy: See! No matter what happens, you won't forget your friends.Sora: Yeah... you're right. Thanks, Goofy.Donald: I guess there's nothing to be scared of after all. So bring it on! Come on guys, let's go!

Page 74: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Sora: When I was a Heartless, who was the one who clobbered me, hmm?Donald: THAT's what you should be forgetting!

Floor Four Landing (part one)-----------------------------

Donald: Phew... I hope the king is okay...Sora: Where'd that come from?Donald: I just wanted to make sure I haven't forgotten about him.Goofy: And?Donald: I still remember perfectly! We went to...Goofy: We went to find him and he stayed on the other side of the door of darkness to save the world, right?Donald: Bingo!Sora: And me - I'm looking for Riku, who should be with the king. I guess we really can't forget the most important memories.Donald: I hope not...

Floor Four Landing (part two)-----------------------------

Larxene: Wow, you seem pretty intrigued by this Sora kid.Axel: And you're not, Larxene?Larxene: Well, good question, but I'm more worried about why you're so interested in him.Axel: He became a Heartless - and you know what happens to people who do.Larxene: They lose all consciousness and feelings, and they become slaves to the darkness.Axel: Right. But that didn't happen to Sora. He held on to his feelings, even as a Heartless. Only one other man ever managed to do that.Larxene: So it's the strength of his heart that intrigues you - the heart chosen by the Keyblade.Axel: Isn't that the mission of the Organization - to unlock the mysteries of the heart?

Floor Four Landing (part three)-------------------------------

Donald: So except for our friends, we're forgetting everything bit by bit...Goofy: Hmmm... I can't think of anything I've forgotten... Guess I musta forgot it... But whatever it was, it must not have been that important, right?Sora: Right, or else you wouldn't have forgotten it. Look.Donald: What's that?Sora: It's a good luck charm Kairi gave me. It's special to her, so I promised I'd return it. I'll never forget that promise. That's why I'll never forget her. Will I, Kairi? Huh... wha? Who was that?

Page 75: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Donald: What's wrong? You just spaced out.Sora: Huh? Oh, nothing. Never mind.Goofy: Well, let's keep going.

Floor Five Landing (part one)-----------------------------

Sora: Who was that I remembered earlier? It wasn't Kairi... Was there... someone else? What was her name again? I know it, it was... it was...Donald: Sora! Get a move on! You want to find Riku and the King, don't you?Sora: Well, yeah... Darn! It was on the tip of my tongue...

Floor Five Landing (part two)-----------------------------

Sora: I remember! There was another girl.Goofy: What? Where?Sora: No, no, I mean on the islands where I used to live. Besides Kairi and Riku, there was one other girl I was friends with. The four of us used to play together all the time.Jiminy: Well I'll be! I think that's the first time you've ever mentioned her.Sora: Yeah... I forgot all about her. I think... she went away when I was still little.Donald: That's strange. Why are you remembering all that now?Sora: I'm not sure. But it's been coming back to me in pieces as we go through the castle.Goofy: So what's her name?Sora: I don't remember. I feel kinda dumb. Here we are, saying we won't forget our friends... and I can't even remember her name.Donald: Sora...Goofy: Well, there's no rush! Let's keep going. You're bound to remember it, just like the rest!

Floor Six Landing (part one)----------------------------

Donald: Hey, Sora! Did you remember anything else about that girl?Sora: Yeah, bits and pieces.Goofy: Tell us about her! Talking about it might help you remember.Sora: Um... She was quiet... and almost always drawing pictures. While we were all swimming at the beach, she'd draw a picture of it instead. Sometimes she drew us, too! She was really good at it. I think sometimes Riku and I would fight over who would get his picture drawn next. But one day, she

Page 76: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

was gone. Just like that. I think our parents knew the reason. They might've even tried to explain it to me. But I was little. I probably didn't understand what was happening. I remember crying a little after she was gone. But that's it. I still can't remember her name.Donald: Still, at this rate, you'll think of her name in no time!Jiminy: Hmmm... anyone notice something odd? Sora's remembering things, instead of forgetting them. Maybe... forgetting things is the only way to reach the memories buried deeper down.Goofy: You mean you have to forget to remember?Sora: So it's like those black-robed guys said. "Our most precious memories lie deep in our hearts, out of reach." And all that stuff about finding being losing and losing being finding... I didn't get it at first, but maybe this is what they were talking about.Goofy: Awww... that's no fair! Why aren't the rest of us remembering anything yet?Donald: Come on, Goofy! We're not forgetting fast enough! Let's move!

Floor Six Landing (part two)----------------------------

Larxene: Just as we planned.Axel: Let's see, then. I think it's time for another round.Larxene: Don't you think it's my turn to play? You had your fun on the first floor. Who says I can't have my way with him?Axel: Don't break him.Larxene: Ohh... I'm not going to break the toy... just play with it. I'm not dumb.Axel: Remember, Sora is the key. We need him if we're going to take on the Organization.Larxene: So you're in on it too? Well, keep it under your hood until the time is right.Axel: You would have been wise to do the same, Larxene.

Floor Six Landing (part three)------------------------------

Goofy: So, Sora... Have you remembered your friend's name yet?Sora: Nope. For whatever reason, her name's the one thing that isn't coming back.Donald: That must be driving you crazy! You have the memories, but no name to go with them.Sora: Heh... yeah.

Page 77: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Floor Seven Landing (part one)------------------------------

Donald: You're with Axel, aren't you!Larxene: Ooh, aren't you clever? The name's Larxene. Are you enjoying your stay in Castle Oblivion? I bet it's nice to peel all the worthless memories away... and awaken the true memories that lie deep in your heart.Sora: True memories?Larxene: But... you're still forgetting the most important thing. When that poor girl hears that her friend Sora has forgotten her name, she'll be heartbroken.Sora: You know her?! Where is she, Larxene? Is she... here?Larxene: U-huuuuh. The bad guys are holding her deep within the castle. And you, the hero, have to go save her. But... I'M a bad guy so you have to go through me!Goofy: Sora!?Sora: What's... that? Is that mine?Larxene: Tsk, tsk. You've been wearing it all this time, and you forgot? No, you couldn't have! The memory is engraved in your heart. Now... think about it. What oh what could it be? Who gave it to you?Sora: Na... Nami...Larxene: Yes, yes, that's right! Free the memory from your heart!Sora: Nami... Namine.Larxene: So you finally remember? That's right... Namine. She's the one who gave you the cheesy good luck charm. Not that you remembered. Can you imagine how Namine would react if she knew you forgot her? "How could you Sora! How could you forget about me!?" Talk about heartless! It'd serve you right if I smashed this piece of junk!Sora: Don't you touch it! Namine gave me this! It's precious to me!Larxene: Precious? Ten seconds ago you didn't even know what it was!

Floor Seven Landing (part two)------------------------------

Larxene: Hey, you're not half bad. Guess you really are a hero. A heartless hero!Sora: Shut up!Larxene: Does it hurt 'cause it's true? Grow up kid! Here, play with these! They're more cards made from your memories. Say "thank you" like a good boy. Ta-ta!Sora: Wait, Larxene! Where are you? Don't you dare hide from me! Show yourself!Jiminy: Sora, calm down! She's not coming back.Goofy: Sora...

Page 78: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Sora: I hate her. It's not fair that she's the one who made me remember... Namine is too special for that.

Floor Seven Landing (part three)--------------------------------

Larxene: Whew... Throwing the battle back there really wore me out.Axel: Throwing the battle? Looks to me like you plain old lost the battle.Larxene: H-How dare you!? You just don't appreciate the finer nuances of-Vexen: He's right though.Larxene: Vexen!Vexen: Humbled by someone of such limited significance. You shame the Organization.Larxene: Grr...Axel: Can we help you, Vexen? It's not very often we see you topside.Vexen: I came to lend a hand. I remain unconvinced of any potential in this "hero" you've been coddling. Perhaps an experiment would put my doubts to rest.Larxene: I knew this would happen. Everything's an experiment with you.Vexen: I'm a scientist. Experimentation is what I do.Axel: Vexen, cut the act. Testing Sora is just an excuse to test your little follower.Vexen: Follower? He's the product of much research.Larxene: What he is is a toy.Vexen: Hmph. I see I'm wasting my time.Axel: Have fun. But take this with you. A wild card to keep the game fresh. It's a present. Now don't tell me I don't respect my elders.

Floor Seven Landing (part four)-------------------------------

Donald: Sora, slow down!Sora: We don't have time! They've got Namine! We have to rescue her!Goofy: Hmm... Sora sure seems worked up.Donald: Can you blame him? After all this time, he finally remembers his friend... only to find out she's being held prisoner.Goofy: Good point. If we heard the king was in danger, we'd be upset too.

Floor Eight Landing (part one)------------------------------

Sora: You, you're... Riku?! What are YOU doing here?Riku: Don't sound so happy to see me. Let me know if I'm getting in the way of something more important.Sora: No, of course not...Riku: Hmph. Spare me. You've all but forgotten about me, haven't you?Sora: Are you crazy! I've been looking all over for you Riku!

Page 79: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Riku: But not anymore. Now all you're thinking about is Namine. You don't care about me at all. You care much more about Namine.Sora: Namine?Riku: Hmph. I knew it. She's all you think about. But, just 'cause you want to see Namine doesn't mean Namine wants to see you. Namine doesn't even want to look at you.Sora: Why not?!Riku: Ask your memories. If you bothered to remember why Namine left the islands, maybe you'd know why.Sora: Did I... do something? Is it my fault? Riku...Riku: Go home, Sora. I can take care of Namine. Anyone who goes near Namine... goes through me!Sora: What's your problem! We finally find each other and you do this!Riku: Sora... you don't care about me... Namine's not the only one who's sick of you.Sora: Riku, no!

Floor Eight Landing (part two)------------------------------

Sora: Riku, please wait!

Floor Eight Landing (part three)--------------------------------

Sora: Riku! Stop hiding!Goofy: Sora, are you okay?Sora: I'm alright... but... Riku's different.Jiminy: He sure was acting strange. I wonder if Ansem's controlling him again?Sora: We destroyed Ansem though.Goofy: I wonder what's wrong with Riku then...Donald: Hold on... the king! If something's happened to Riku, then the king might be in danger! Sora...Jiminy: Hey, Riku is still your friend, and that's no mistake.Sora: You sure?Jiminy: I know he said some awful things to you back there. But, don't forget - we're in Castle Oblivion. People lose their memories here a little bit at a time. He's probably forgotten that he and you were friends. That's all.Sora: So he just forgot?Jiminy: That'd be my guess. So instead of being sad, let's figure out a way to make him remember. Let's work together and get through this. It's not like you to mope, Sora.Goofy: He's right. You shouldn't push your friends away.Sora: Yeah... okay.Donald: Sora, remember the promise we made?

Page 80: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Sora: Huh?Donald & Goofy: Keep smiling!Goofy: We made that promise when we met. No matter what, keep smiling! Don't forget that!Sora: I didn't.

Floor Nine Landing (part one)-----------------------------

Riku: Can't take a hint, can you?Sora: I'm not leaving until I rescue you and Namine.Riku: I don't need to be rescued.Sora: Don't you remember anything? Think of Kairi. She wants you to come home, too.Riku: You're the one forgetting. At Kingdom Hearts - when we closed the door, I told YOU to take care of Kairi. Give it up. I'm not going back to the islands, and you're not changing my mind.Sora: It's not just Kairi! Think about everyone else!Riku: You can have them. I forgot about those losers ages ago.Sora: What!Riku: What about you? Do you even remember what they all look like?Sora: Of course I...Riku: Don't feel bad. That's what this castle does to you. You forget all the useless stuff and remember for the first time what really matters. I remembered it Sora. The one thing most important to me. I'm staying here to protect Namine! Nothing else matters!Sora: Hey Riku. Maybe if I fight you, you'll remember.Riku: Go ahead and try.

Floor Nine Landing (part two)-----------------------------

Riku: Hmph... Too bad. Nothing's coming back to me. Maybe you should try hitting a little harder.Sora: No Riku. We need to stop messing around and go help Namine!Riku: What, together? That is so like you. You're always trying to worm your way into my heart!Sora: Wait! When did I ever try that?Riku: Hmph, you probably forgot. It never mattered to you how I felt!Sora: I won't let you push me away.

Floor Nine Landing (part three)-------------------------------

Axel: What's wrong Namine? Actually I know exactly how you feel, but don't get your hopes up. You should know. Nobodies can't be somebodies.

Page 81: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Floor Nine Landing (part four)------------------------------

Sora: You know... Riku and I... We want the same thing. We both want to help Namine. So why are we fighting? I mean, Riku and I have bumped heads over stuff in the past...Goofy: The more you fight the closer you must be.Sora: Yeah, I know. But he doesn't seem to feel that way.Donald: Have a little faith! You guys used to be inseparable, right? You, Riku, and Kai... Kai... what was her name again?Jiminy: Oh... Our memories are fading fast. Sora! We'd better hurry. I'm sure you and Riku can talk things out.Sora: Yeah. After all, we were never apart. Me, Riku... and Namine.

Floor Ten Landing (part one)----------------------------

Donald: No sign of Riku.Goofy: Maybe he doesn't want to fight you anymore?Sora: That'd be nice.

Floor Ten Landing (part two)----------------------------

Larxene: What's going on, Vexen? Wasn't Riku meant to go out and attack Sora? Where is he? What's he doing?Axel: Surely he's hiding on purpose to lure Sora deeper into the castle! You can trust me on that!Larxene: Oh, reeeeally? So that's it! I had no idea! I'm so sorry!Vexen: Shut up!Larxene: The usual response. People with no hearts truly are worthless.Vexen: Did you forget that you have no heart either?Marluxia: Stop it.Vexen: Marluxia!Marluxia: Vexen. Your project has failed. Do not disappoint us again.Vexen: Disappoint YOU? You presume too much, No. 11! I am No. 4, and I refuse to take-Marluxia: This castle and the girl Namine have been entrusted to ME. Defy me here, and you defy the Organization. All opposition is eliminated... you know how it goes.Larxene: We don't need failures.Vexen: Ngh...Marluxia: Vexen. You cannot defeat Sora.Vexen: You know so little. You only see what's on the outside. You cannot comprehend my true power.Marluxia: Oh? Then prove it.Vexen: Pardon?Marluxia: I don't want to doubt a fellow member's power.

Page 82: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Vexen: You wouldn't dare.Axel: Taking off like that, you know he's going straight for Sora.Marluxia: And I'm sure nobody looks forward to the outcome. Well, what now? Your hero is soon to be wiped from existence. But he made a promise to you, didn't he Namine?Namine: Yes.

Floor Ten Landing (part three)------------------------------

Donald: The tenth floor already... We've come a long way.Jiminy: And we've lost ten floors worth of memories. Sora, it's still not too late. Don't you want to get them back?Sora: I can't do that. I don't want to break the promise I made long ago.Jiminy: Promise? What promise is that?Sora: When we were little, I made a promise to Namine. "I'll protect you no matter what." But I forgot it. I lost so many memories and I didn't remember it, even though we promised each other... That's why I'm not giving up. From now, I'm keeping my promise!Jiminy: I see. I understand, Sora.

Floor Eleven Landing (part one)-------------------------------

Sora: Who are you?Vexen: My name is Vexen. Time to pay back what you owe me, Sora.Goofy: Owe? Sora, did you borrow something from him?Sora: No way!Vexen: Oh, really? Didn't I let you meet up with your former friend?Sora: You mean-Vexen: Yes. I am the one who brought Riku here.Sora: So... you're the one... you're the one who's been controlling Riku! What have you done with him?Vexen: I see no need to tell you. You see... your path ends here.

Floor Eleven Landing (part two)-------------------------------

Vexen: I see you really don't go down easily.Sora: You think you could ever beat me?Vexen: We'll see. As we fought, I delved deep into your memory... and look what I found. This card is crafted from a hidden memory sleeping in your heart.Sora: Wait! A... hidden memory?

Floor Eleven Landing (part three)---------------------------------

Page 83: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Axel: If something happens to Sora, the Organization's plans may be in danger.Marluxia: Axel, you know what to do.Axel: No I don't. Maybe you could spell it out for me.Marluxia: What Vexen did was direct treason against the Organization. Dispose of the traitor.Axel: Can't argue with that.

Floor Eleven Landing (part four)--------------------------------

Jiminy: A card crafted from a hidden memory... I wonder what it does?Sora: Only one way to find out. Besides, it's the only card we have left. We have to use it to go on.

Twilight Town (part one)------------------------

Goofy: What's the matter?Sora: I feel kind of strange. I don't know this place, but it's starting to feel real familiar...Donald: So you must've been here some time, right?Sora: I really don't think so.Goofy: You lost all your memories before, like the ones of Namine. So maybe you're starting to remember this too?Sora: Hmmm... it doesn't feel like that. With Namine, the memories of us together sort of came drifting back piece by piece. But here, there are no memories. I'm just getting this nostalgic feeling, that's all.Vexen: Really? Nostalgic? A question then, Sora... That feeling, your memories of Namine. Which do you think is real?Sora: Namine, of course! Whatever I feel here is just some trick of yours!Vexen: Memories are cruel thing. You don't just forget them - they get warped and then they entrap your heart.Sora: What are you talking about?Vexen: I told you. This place is made from your hidden memories. You remember this place in the other side of your heart. Yes, your heart knows this place.Sora: No! I don't have any memories of this!Vexen: If you remain bound by the chains of your memory, and refuse to believe your heart... then you may as well throw your heart away. In that case, Sora, you're no hero anymore - just a slave to twisted memories. Yes, just like my Riku. You're not fit to exist.

Page 84: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Sora: Your... Riku? Not fit? You're so full of it! YOU'RE the one who changed Riku, aren't you? Every word you said is a lie! I'm not throwing away my heart! I'm gonna take you down and then save Riku and Namine. THAT's what's in my heart!

Twilight Town (part two)------------------------

Vexen: Urgh... Such strength even at the mercy of your memory...Sora: I don't care about that! Just put Riku back the way he was!Vexen: Put him back? All he can do is sink into the emptiness of darkness. And you will share that fate, Sora! If you continue to seek the girl Namine, the shackles will tighten... you'll lose your heart and become Marluxia's pawn!Sora: Marluxia? Who's that, and what does he have to do with Namine?Vexen: Gah!Sora: Axel!Axel: Hey, Sora. Did I come at a bad time?Vexen: Axel, what are you...Axel: Just stopping you from saying things you shouldn't... And finishing you off.Vexen: No... Wait!Axel: We are nobodies - we hardly exist. But now you can be nothing instead of just being nobody. Aren't you happy?Vexen: S-Stop! I don't want to-Axel: Well, see you.Sora: What the... what ARE you people?Axel: Hmm... I guess I'm not sure either.

Floor Twelve Landing (part one)-------------------------------

Larxene: Nice work, Axel. Good riddance to that blabbermouth - it feels less dirty up here already.Axel: Marluxia. You used Vexen to test Sora's strength, didn't you?Larxene: Not just Sora, you too. We weren't sure if you had it in you to take out one of your seniors. And you did it splendidly. Welcome to the fold. With the three of us, taking over the Organization will be child's play.Axel: I see. And that's where Sora comes in.Larxene: Of course. He wants to meet Namine, so we'll give him what he wants.Marluxia: Rejoice, Namine. The hero you've longed for is nearly here.Namine: I'm... glad.Larxene: And remember, don't do anything that might hurt Sora's feelings!Namine: I know.

Page 85: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Marluxia: You must layer the memories, one by one, and bring his heart closer.Namine: Sora... Even if you came for me - what then?

Floor Twelve Landing (part two)-------------------------------

Sora: Riku!Riku: Enough. You'll just hurt Namine if you go any further.Sora: You still want to fight? Vexen was controlling you, but now-Riku: It doesn't matter. I'll protect Namine by stopping you. That is what is in my heart. Yes, I'll keep Namine safe just like I promised her all that time ago...Sora: Promised her?Riku: There was a meteor shower one night when she and I were little... Namine got scared and said, "What if a shooting star hits the islands?" So I told her, "Even if a shooting star falls on us, I'll protect you." And then-Sora: You made a promise! And you had a toy sword!Riku: How do you know about that?!Sora: But... that was MY promise! On the night of the meteor shower, I said I'd protect her!Riku: Liar! It was just me and her!Sora: Oh yeah? Then how come she gave ME her good luck charm?Riku: Her what?Sora: Look!Riku: Why? Why do you have that? Ah... I understand.Sora: Riku?Riku: That's a fake! I have the real one!Sora: Wh...what's going on here?Riku: I'll destroy the fake!

Floor Twelve Landing (part three)---------------------------------

Sora: Riku!Donald: That's Namine's good luck charm, isn't it?Sora: It's just like the one she gave me. How'd he get this?Goofy: It turned into a card?!Donald: This is all getting so confusing!Sora: It doesn't matter anymore. Let's just keep going.Donald: But it's strange that both of you have the same memory! One of you's got it wrong.Sora: Got it wrong? Don't you trust me?!Goofy: That's not what Donald meant. We're just worried.Sora: Then let's hurry up and ask Namine. Then, we'll know for sure! Anyway, we don't have time to sit around here!Goofy: Sora... what's happening to you?Sora: What's that supposed to mean?Goofy: You're getting all touchy when it comes to Namine. Isn't that weird?

Page 86: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Before we came to this castle, you didn't even know her name.Donald: And now, she's all you think about.Goofy: It doesn't make sense. Maybe you should stop and think things through?Sora: Think things through? You mean abandon her - is that it?Donald: No, but-Sora: Whatever, do what you want! Lay back, take a nap, I don't care! I'M going to find Namine!Donald & Goofy: Sora!

Floor Twelve Landing (part four)--------------------------------

Axel: You're all he cares for anymore. If you don't stop this, no one will.Namine: But... it's too late now.Axel: Oh, I don't think you should give up just yet. Hey Namine. I don't see Marluxia around anymore. Do you?Namine: I don't see what you...Axel: There's nobody here to stop you. Don't let me down. Weeeell... it's starting, Sora. I hope you're gonna put on a hell of a show for me. Hey, hey. This really is fun!

Floor Twelve Landing (part five)--------------------------------

Jiminy: Sora, you shouldn't have talked like-Sora: Keep it to yourself!

Destiny Islands (part one)--------------------------

Sora: The island!

Destiny Islands (part two)--------------------------

Sora: Oh! I have to protect her! Namine! Where are you?! Namine...Namine: Sora... you came for me.Sora: I've waited so long to see you again... I've fought so hard to get to you!Namine: I wanted to see you too. But... I was wrong. I really wanted to see you... but not like this.Sora: Namine?Namine: I was alone for so long. I couldn't bear it anymore... So I called out to your heart, called you here. And I'm so glad you found me. But I had to-Sora: No, it's okay. I promised I'd take care of you.

Page 87: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Namine: Sora... thank you. And I'm sorry. But I'm not the one who should be here.Namine 2: That's right.Sora: Namine?!Namine: That's not me. I'm not in your heart. I'm not in anybody's heart. I'm not anywhere.Sora: What's going on Namine? What's happening?! We were always together back then, weren't we? But then I lost you... I came here so I'd never lose you again!Namine: Was it really me you came for?Sora: Of course it was! I may have forgotten so much in this castle, but I haven't forgotten you! Look! You gave me this, didn't you?Namine: That's right, I did give you that...Namine 2: No, Sora! Don't believe me!Sora: What do you want me to do?Namine 2: Sora, just remember again. Remember who's most special to you. See that faint glimmer way in the back of your heart? That's a piece of your memory. Call out to it! No matter how far away the light is, your voice will reach it.Sora: Who's most special to me? Isn't it obvious? It's you, Nami-

Floor Thirteen Landing (part one)---------------------------------

Sora: Namine! It's not you. The person most special to me isn't you... is it?Namine: No. The girl you care about... the one who was always with you... It's not me. It's her.Sora: But... who is she? I just... I can't think of her name. If she's so special to me, why can't I remember?Namine: It's because I went into your memories and-Riku: Let ME explain this. Plain and simple. Your memory is a train wreck. You're not the one who's meant to protect Namine - I AM! But you and your messed up memories always get in the way, Sora!

Floor Thirteen Landing (part two)---------------------------------

Sora: Riku!Riku: Have some more!Namine: Sora!Sora: Riku...Riku: Looks like I win.Namine: Riku, stop!Riku: You're through, you fake!Namine: I said, STOP!

Page 88: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Sora: R-Riku...? Riku! RIKU! What did you do? What did you do to Riku?!Larxene: She broke his heart. More like smashed it, really.Sora: His heart... smashed?! Then, then Riku, Riku's dead!Larxene: Ah ha ha! You're so much fun to watch. If it's Riku you're worried about, then worry no longer. Riku was never here to begin with.Sora: What do you mean?Larxene: You want me to tell you? Me, tell you? I don't know...Sora: Quit playing games!Larxene: All right, have it your way. It'll kill you to hear this - but I can live with that. That thing lying there is a puppet Vexen made. Nothing more than a toy. It's laughable, really. It called you a fake, but IT was the fabrication all along.Sora: That Riku... is a fake?!Larxene: Fake in every way. It was only finished recently. And without any past, how could it remember anything? Its memories with Namine were planted, not real. All this time, it's been picking fights with you over bogus memories. Isn't that right, Namine? Behind that cute little face, you do some awful things.Sora: Namine?Larxene: You are so STUPID. Don't you get it? Messing with people's memories is about all she's good at. She steps into people's hearts and rearranges their memory. She can even draw new memories of things that never happened. The girl you've been dying to protect... is a manipulative witch who shackles people's hearts with phony memories!Sora: Then... everything I remember...Larxene: Lies, lies. All lies! An illusion Namine made! Binding you in the chains of your own memory was central to our trap! It still makes me tingle to think how easily you were duped. We nearly had you. This was our chance to make the Keyblade master our puppet! But that jerk Axel used Namine! He wrecked everything and betrayed us!Sora: You'll pay...Namine: Wait!Larxene: Huh? Excuse me? Isn't it a little late for a conscience? Last time I checked, YOU'RE the one who got Sora into this mess.Namine: But!Larxene: I should tell you that I'm in an EXTREMELY foul mood. Thanks to you, all our plans are toast!Sora: Namine!Larxene: What?! Do I detect DISTRESS? You don't even know her!Sora: Maybe not. But... I still made a promise.Larxene: Huh?

Page 89: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Sora: I promised Namine I'd keep her safe. Maybe my memories are fake. But they're still mine, and I'm gonna be true to them.Larxene: Hmph. Are you stupid? There is no promise, there never was! You are delusional. Must you insist on playing the hero? Oh, whatever. It's your funeral. Nighty-night, you sham!Donald: You'll have to go through us!Sora: Donald! Goofy! You came back!Goofy: Of course we came back. We were worried about you!Donald: We weren't about to let you have all the fun yourself!Goofy: Right! It's always been the three of us...Donald: And it will always be, got that?Larxene: Have it your way. Thrice the pain for you means thrice the fun for me!

Floor Thirteen Landing (part three)-----------------------------------

Larxene: No... Nooooo!! I refuse to lose to a bunch of losers! I... I'm... fading?! This isn't... the way I... I won't... allow...Goofy: Are you Namine? We're friends of Sora. I'm-Namine: Goofy, I know. And this is Donald.Donald: Gee, how'd you know?Goofy: Congratulations, Sora! You finally found your friend.Jiminy: Hmm, where to begin... Namine, I know it's not easy, but maybe you could tell us what's going on.Namine: I don't mind. It's my fault, after all. I took the people and memories in Sora's heart... and little by little, I replaced them with false memories that I made.Donald: So, the promise Sora made?Namine: A lie. All a lie. Sora never promised me anything. Me being on the islands - that was a lie, too. This is our first meeting. I was never Sora's friend...Sora: You were never anything... more than that, either...Namine: Yes. In your true memories, I was never there.Jiminy: So you're the reason the rest of us lost our memories, too. Can we ever get them back?Namine: Not right away. If we go to the thirteenth floor, I can fix everything. But Marluxia...Jiminy: Is that the person who made you tamper with our memories?Namine: He said he'd keep me locked away in this castle forever if I didn't obey. I've been alone for so long...Goofy: So you did as you were told because you were lonely...Namine: I'm so sorry...Sora: Don't be. Please don't cry...Namine: Yeah. I know. I don't have the right.Sora: That's not what I meant!Namine: Eh?

Page 90: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Sora: Look... I'm really not happy about you screwing around with my memories. But you know, I can't really get mad at you, either. These memories that you gave me... in my head, I know they're lies, but they still feel right. Like my promise. I said I'd protect you, and if you cry, I... feel guilty. Like I let you down somehow. So please... don't. Until I get my memory back, smile and be happy. It's easier on me that way.Namine: Sora...Donald: Think he's laying it on a bit thick?Goofy: I don't know. Sora's always like this around girls.Sora: Shut up, you two! I thought you lost your memories!Donald: Friends don't forget things like that!Sora: Gimme a break... There! That's it! That's the Namine I remember. I used to really like it when you smiled. I mean, in my fake memory. But you're not fake, you're real.Namine: Thank you.Sora: Well, let's go!Donald: Yeah! Let's go get our memories back!Goofy: Marluxia is up there, so you'd better stay here, Namine.Sora: Yeah. Look after Riku for me. We'll come get you after this is over.Namine: Okay. Be careful, Sora.Sora: I'll be fine... I promise!

Castle Oblivion (part one)--------------------------

Sora: Who was it? Who gave me this? It's no use.Donald: Can't you remember?Sora: Namine's the only thing I remember. Do either of you remember anything?Donald: I think we're supposed to be looking for someone important, too. But I can't remember... I'm a little scared.Goofy: Then let's make a promise!Sora and Donald: Huh?Goofy: What you said back there got me thinking. When you've got a promise to keep, it's easier to be brave.Sora: Courage...Donald: Yeah, let's make a promise! No matter what happens - even if we end up far apart or forget each other...Goofy: We'll stay in this together...Sora: All for one, one for all!Donald: And that's a promise.

Castle Oblivion (part two)--------------------------

Marluxia: You're a fool among fools to show your face here, traitor.Axel: Traitor? I don't know what you're talking about.

Page 91: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Marluxia: You let Namine go. You and your meddling... The Keyblade master could have been our slave.Axel: Right, your big plan. You use Namine to rewrite Sora's memory piece by piece. He becomes her puppet. Then, using Namine and Sora, you and Larxene overthrow the Organization. Am I right? 'Cause that would make you the traitor, Marluxia.Marluxia: But you eliminated a fellow member.Axel: Didn't you two need to trust me?Marluxia: I see... a double agent. Vexen was just a cover.Axel: All I did was weed the garden. Don't you remember? "Dispose of the traitor." I always follow orders, Marluxia.

Castle Oblivion (part three)----------------------------

Axel: Larxene paid the price for disloyalty. Now, it's your turn! In the name of the Organization you betrayed, I will annihilate you.Marluxia: Go ahead, then - strike!Axel: It'd be my pleasure.Axel: What is this? Cowering behind her won't stop me.Marluxia: Oh really? Are you listening, Sora?Axel: Huh?Marluxia: Axel would harm Namine just to get at me! Destroy him!Axel: Well, well, Sora. Marluxia made you his puppet after all.Sora: Never. After I finish you, he's next.Axel: Hmm... Listen, Sora. We've got more in common than you think. I'd rather not fight you... but I do have a reputation to think of!

Castle Oblivion (part four)---------------------------

Axel: You're not half bad. It was worth saving your hide after all.Sora: Saving me? What do you mean?Axel: I'd hate to kill the suspense.Sora: Axel!

Castle Oblivion (part five)---------------------------

Marluxia: So you've destroyed Axel. You have my thanks, Sora. Or perhaps I should thank the power of the Keyblade.Sora: Let Namine go!Marluxia: You cannot win. Namine, erase Sora's memory.Namine: But... if I do that...Marluxia: Yes, Sora's heart will collapse.Goofy: Sora's heart...Donald: Collapse?!Marluxia: I'd prefer him undamaged... but even a riven heart can be rebuilt with time. Do it, Namine.

Page 92: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Namine: No. Sora forgave me even though I deceived him. I could never break his heart, ever! I don't care what you do to me. I won't hurt Sora!Marluxia: You'll pay...Sora: Do what he says, Namine! I don't care! Erase my memory!Goofy: Sora, what are you saying?Sora: Who am I going to look after if I don't have you? So do it! Erase my memories, break my heart... I'll still have my promise. I'll still protect you!Namine: Sora...Sora: I don't need my memory to take on Marluxia.Donald: Yeah! Even if Sora forgets, we won't!Goofy: All we gotta to do is remember for him!Sora: Yeah, with everyone else's memories, I can piece my own together again in no time!Marluxia: Ignorant fool. If Namine destroys your memory, you'll be naught but a lifeless shell! Your heart will be unable to feel, to care! Just like that pathetic imitation of Riku.Riku: Guess again.Marluxia: How?!Sora: Riku!Riku: No, just someone's pet project.Marluxia: But... you're an empty shell! You're nothing!Riku: My body and my heart are fake - I have always been nothing. But there's one thing you can't take away from me, even if it is a lie! I made a promise. I will protect Namine!Marluxia: Well now... You've chained your heart with nothing but false memories, and cast your heart's freedom aside! All these lies have made your heart weak... You cannot defeat me!

Castle Oblivion (part six)--------------------------

Donald: Did we get him?Marluxia: You could say that. But what you destroyed was just an image of me, a petty imitation.Riku: So what! Another trick!Sora: The real one's in there?Namine: Yes.Sora: It's powerful... whatever's on the other side. I can feel it.Goofy: Well then, we'd better hurry up and stop it!Donald: Sora, let's go!Sora: Riku... Keep Namine safe.Riku: You want... me to?Sora: You don't want to?Riku: All right.

Castle Oblivion (part seven)----------------------------

Page 93: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Marluxia: Drown in the heart-torn world of nothingness! I shall scatter your heart to the empty winds!

Castle Oblivion (part eight)----------------------------

Sora: You okay, Riku?Riku: I'm not Riku. I'm fake. I can't remember when I was created, or why... All I've got left is you and Namine. But those memories aren't real...Goofy: Namine, can you put Riku's memory back to normal?Namine: I can't...Riku: It's alright. Don't worry about me.Sora: Wait! Who cares if someone made you? You have your own heart. It doesn't matter how you got it. Those feelings and memories are yours and yours alone. They're special!Riku: Sora, you're a good person. I don't have to be real to see how real your feelings are. That's good enough for me.Sora: Riku! Goodbye...Donald: Can you fix our memories?Namine: Yes. Just because you can't remember something doesn't mean it's gone.Goofy: What do you mean?Namine: Remembering one thing leads to remembering another, and then another. Do you get what I'm saying? Your memories are connected, like links in a chain. Those same chains are what anchor us all together. I don't destroy memories. I just take apart the links and rearrange them. You still have all your memories.Jiminy: So, you can put them back together?Namine: Yes, but first I have to undo the links I made. Then, I have to gather up the memories scattered in your hearts and reconnect them. It will take time. But I think it will work. No, I'll MAKE it work. It's my turn to help you out.Sora: All right. We're in your hands.Jiminy: Hey... Wait just a second! You said you'd have to undo the links you made. But that means-Namine: Yes. You won't be able to recall what happened in this castle.Sora: Not even you?Namine: I'm sorry. It's the only way. You have to choose, Sora. You can lose your memories of this castle and reclaim your old memories... or keep your memories here and give up the memories that you've lost.Sora: I have to choose?Namine: Yes.Sora: Put me back the way I was.

Page 94: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Namine: Okay, I understand! Who needs false memories, right? Especially when you have real memories. Anyone would say the same.

Castle Oblivion (part nine)---------------------------

Donald: We have to sleep in these to get our memories back?Namine: You'll be fine. It might take a little time, but I'll take care of you.Goofy: But when we wake up, we won't remember you anymore...Donald: How are we going to thank you later?Jiminy: No problem! I'll make a note in my journal: "Thank Namine."Donald: Of course! Why didn't I think of that!Goofy: Good night, Namine.Namine: Good night. You too, Sora.Sora: Okay.Namine: It may have started with a lie, but I'm really glad I met you, Sora.Sora: Yeah, me too. When I found you... Even when I remembered your name, I was so, so happy. The way I felt was no lie.Namine: Goodbye.Sora: No, not goodbye! I'll find you again after I wake up. And when I do find you, we'll be friends for real. Promise me, Namine.Namine: You'll only forget.Sora: I won't. Even if you take apart the chain of memories in my heart, the links will stay there. This memory will always be inside me somewhere. I know it.Namine: I guess you're right. Let's promise, then.Sora: Yeah, it's a promise.Namine: It's a promise. The loose links will sink into the darkness of your heart. You won't be able to just reach in and pick the one you want. But Sora... you made a promise to someone you could never replace. She's your light. The light within the darkness. If you can remember her... all the memories lost in the shadows of your heart will come into the light.Sora: Another promise...Namine: Look at the good luck charm. I changed its shape when I changed your memory. But when you thought of her, it went back to the way it was.

Castle Oblivion (part ten)--------------------------

Sora: Kairi! All my friends... Namine?Namine: Don't worry. You'll forget me... but we have our promise, so I can come back to you.Sora: A promise is a promise.

Page 95: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Namine: One day, it'll be our light, the light that brings us together. I'll be in your heart until that time comes.Sora: Yeah, I know. Forgotten, but not lost.

=================== 2.6. RIKU CUTSCENES ===================

Introduction------------

Riku: Urgh... Where...where am I...Ansem: You've been sleeping.Riku: Who's there?!Ansem: You've been sleeping. Here, between light and dark.Riku: Between... what? The king! Where's the king?! Together we closed the door to darkness, and after that...Ansem: You're the only one who washed up here. You didn't have the power to prevail over darkness. No, you should have embraced the darkness.Riku: You talk like I'm some kind of demon of the dark.Ansem: You turned your back on the light before you closed your eyes. Here, blanketed by the darkness, sleep is safety. Sleep is eternal.Riku: But... Is this... a card?Ansem: It is a door to the truth. Take it, and your sleep ends. Take it, and take the first step toward the truth. But know this: the truth will bring you pain. Will you still go? There can be no returning to the sweet security of sleep.Riku: Yeah, well... seems like a boring place to take a nap anyway.Ansem: As I expected from you, Riku.Riku: A door to the truth, huh...

Basement Eleven Landing (part one)----------------------------------

Ansem: Why do you shun the dark?Riku: Oh, come on. I know you heard every word I said to Maleficent.Ansem: Darkness is your weapon. I need you to accept it.Riku: What do you care?Ansem: Stop resisting and accept the darkness. You must... if you are to serve me again!Riku: Ansem... Just as I thought.Ansem: You don't seem surprised.Riku: You always were chatty when it came to darkness. So let me guess... You want to pull me back into the darkness and play puppet master again... right?Ansem: Clever boy. You'll make a fine host. Now, surrender to me again and-

Page 96: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Riku: You're insane! There won't be an "again"! Unnh...Ansem: Did you really think you could harm me? A weakling like you couldn't even defeat Sora - and you had darkness on your side.Riku: Excuse me for... being weak...Ansem: You need the darkness. Submit! Bow to the darkness, and bow to me.Riku: Not a... chance...Ansem: Only darkness can help you now.Mickey: You're wrong!Riku: That voice...! Your Majesty, is that you?!Mickey: You betcha! Riku, you're not alone. Listen careful now, Riku. The light'll never give up on you. You'll always find it, even in the deepest darkness! But you have to believe!Riku: I will. Hear that? I'm not losing to the darkness today, Ansem.Ansem: You think some feeble light can save you from the darkness I command? Fool!

Basement Eleven Landing (part two)----------------------------------

Riku: That all you've got?Ansem: It seems you are intent on resisting the darkness. Very well. See with our own eyes. These are cards crafted from your memory. Advance through the worlds they beget, and you will come to understand... Chasing the light will not distance you from the dark. You cannot run.Riku: Who's running? Give me the cards. I'll enter those worlds. And in the end, if I haven't given up... I win.Ansem: I have one more gift for you.Riku: What did you do?!Ansem: I tempered the darkness that remains in your heart.Riku: What, you still think that I'd rely on darkness?Ansem: Whether or not you use it is your choice. I'll be waiting, Riku... for you to come to your senses and yield to the darkness!

Basement Eleven Landing (part three)------------------------------------

Zexion: Don't I even get a hello, Lexaeus?Vexen: What's going on, Zexion? I demand an explanation.Zexion: Nice to see you too, Vexen. You know, it's deplorable... The Organization used to be the rope that binds us. And now it's full of kinks.Vexen: How dare you!Lexaeus: Let it go, Vexen. Zexion, tell us. What did you detect?Zexion: Visitors. I picked up two scents in the castle's lowest basement. One of them was Maleficent, but-Vexen: Absurd. The witch is gone. She cannot return from the realm of darkness

Page 97: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

of her own volition.Zexion: If you'd let me finish... The scent belonged to a very convincing double. But I can't say much beyond that, since the would-be Maleficent is no more. Our other visitor saw to that.Lexaeus: Who is it?Zexion: I don't know... But the scent was very similar to the Superior's.Vexen: But it's not the same person. I'm deeply intrigued.Zexion: So... what shall we do now?Lexaeus: Let us bide our time and see what develops.

Basement Eleven Landing (part four)-----------------------------------

Riku: Something... tastes kind of funny... What is it? It's so familiar... Darkness. The taste of darkness. What's happened to me... am I just a tool of the darkness?Mickey: Don't you worry, Riku.Riku: Your Majesty! What happened to you? You're all...fuzzy.Mickey: I can only send a little bit of my power here. But I have a request.Riku: A request?Mickey: Yes, Riku. Don't let go of yourself just because darkness has a hold on you. Fight the darkness inside you! It won't be easy... But don't forget! Even in the darkest darkness, there's always a little light.Riku: Light... within darkness?Mickey: You and I have seen it! The far-off, welcoming light inside the door to darkness... The light of Kingdom Hearts, Riku - it'll show you the way. Please don't give up. Believe in the light. That's all I ask.Riku: Okay... I'll try my best.Mickey: And I'll try to find a way to reach you. I'll come, I promise.Riku: You're... an illusion?Mickey: But we shook hands, in our hearts. We're connected, you and I.Riku: Yeah...I guess so.

Basement Ten Landing--------------------

Zexion: I've identified the scent. It's Riku.Vexen: Riku? How could he have escaped from the realm of darkness?Zexion: He once shouldered the darkness...Vexen: I see, and perhaps that made him half-dark. The dark power given to him facilitated his escape from the realm of darkness.Zexion: What I want to know is why he appeared here.Vexen: That's simple. His existence resonates with that of another hero.Zexion: Then Sora's in the castle too?Vexen: Yes, he arrived earlier. Marluxia is already using Namine to meddle with

Page 98: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Sora's heart.Zexion: And he didn't consult us about it.Vexen: It seems he's dying to control the Keyblade master. How stupid of him. Sora and Riku's existence may be interesting, but the one most valuable to us is Riku, the hero of darkness.

Basement Nine Landing (part one)--------------------------------

Vexen: Riku, I presume?Riku: Are you with Ansem?Vexen: You are half correct. Let us say that it's not the Ansem you know. He is Ansem and he is not - which is to say he is nobody.Riku: Riddles aren't my thing. Try making some sense.Vexen: He belongs to neither the light nor the dark, but walks the twilight between. As do I. And for that matter - Ha ha, that's right. We have much in common.Riku: Maybe... there's darkness inside me, just like you said. But what of it, darkness is my enemy! And you are, too, for making everything around here reek of it!Vexen: Oh ho, so it's a fight you want. Very well - a fight you shall get!

Basement Nine Landing (part two)--------------------------------

Vexen: Ha ha ha... The darkness coursing through you is a tremendous power. All you needed was the right provocation. Your fiery reaction provided just the data I needed.Riku: What?!Vexen: You have my thanks, Riku!Riku: Kch... Why'd he run away?

Basement Eight Landing----------------------

Lexaeus: What of Sora?Zexion: Namine is shuffling his memories as we speak. Marluxia may well get his puppet. This could spell out good fortune for the Organization, but... I smell something funny going on with Marluxia and Larxene.Lexaeus: Then there's Axel. Who knows what that one is thinking...Zexion: Let's observe a little longer, then speak with Vexen. He's putting the finishing touches on the replica.Lexaeus: But Vexen despises Marluxia. Think of the mess it would cause...Zexion: Well then, better he clean up the mess than us.

Page 99: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Basement Seven Landing (part one)---------------------------------

Riku: What the... What are you supposed to be?Riku Replica: Surprised? I guess you would be. I bet it's not every day you meet your twin. Too shocked to speak? This should come as a relief, then: I'm a replica of you that Vexen made.Riku: What, you mean a fake me?Riku Replica: I didn't mean "fake"! Just because you're real doesn't mean you're better! We share the same body and the same talents. There is one easy way to tell us apart, though. Know what that is? Unlike you, I'm not afraid of anything.Riku: Are you calling me a coward?Riku Replica: You ARE a coward. You're afraid of the dark! The darkness inside you scares you witless.Riku: Look, I-Riku Replica: But I'M different. I embrace the darkness. I can make it do whatever I want. In other words... I can wipe the floor with you!

Basement Seven Landing (part two)---------------------------------

Riku: Hey, FAKE. I thought you were gonna wipe the floor with me.Riku Replica: Go on, laugh. I'm still new. I'll get stronger and stronger, just you wait. It won't be long before I surpass you. Next time we fight, you're finished!Riku: Sorry, you missed your chance. I'm finishing you first, right here!Riku Replica: Ha ha ha! It's nice to have darkness on my side. How could you be scared of something so thrilling! You're missing out.Riku: Shut up!Riku Replica: So now the coward is playing tough guy. That's cute. See you next time, Real Thing. Try not to miss me.Riku: Come back here! I'll show you who's a coward. Punk.

Basement Seven Landing (part three)-----------------------------------

Vexen: How did it feel to fight the real Riku?Riku Replica: He's spineless. I'll be running circles around him in no time.Vexen: Before that, wouldn't you like to meet another hero?Riku Replica: You mean that Sora kid. He's here in the castle, I hear. Want me to take care of him?

Page 100: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Vexen: Nothing's definite, but yes, it may come to that. I intend to make good use of you.Riku Replica: No worries. Sora's just one more person to crush on the way to Riku.

Basement Seven Landing (part four)----------------------------------

Riku: Come on out, you fake! Show yourself!Ansem: Fake? Oh, I don't think that's the right word.Riku: What are you saying? He's just a copy of me - he said as much himself.Ansem: A copy, yes - or maybe a model. He is an example of what you should be. He accepts the darkness... just as you once accepted me. But now, you are afraid. Perhaps YOU are the fake.Riku: Name one time I've been afraid of the darkness!Ansem: In the card-worlds, you grappled desperately with the darkness. Desperation is a product of fear. You fight the darkness because it frightens you.Riku: Shut up!Ansem: Tsk, so stubborn. Then continue your fight, if you must. Eventually, you will see. You cannot resist the dark.

Basement Six Landing--------------------

Axel: Can we help you, Vexen? It's not very often we see you topside.Vexen: I came to lend a hand. I remain unconvinced of any potential in this "hero" you've been coddling. Perhaps an experiment would put my doubts to rest.Larxene: I knew this would happen. Everything's an experiment with you.Vexen: I'm a scientist. Experimentation is what I do.Axel: Vexen, cut the act. Testing Sora is just an excuse to test your little follower.Vexen: Follower? He's the product of much research.Larxene: What he is is a toy.Vexen: Hmph. I see I'm wasting my time.Axel: Have fun. But take this with you. A wild card to keep the game fresh. It's a present. Now don't tell me I don't respect my elders. That card contains Sora and Riku's memories of their home.Riku Replica: But it's just a card. What good is that?Larxene: This is your chance to get your hands on the real Riku's memories. All you need is that card and a little help from Namine. Maybe we'll get her to make you forget you're fake... Better yet, we could remake your

Page 101: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

heart so you can be just like the real Riku.Riku Replica: Hey, hold on! What do you mean, remake my heart?! The real Riku's a wimp who can't handle the darkness inside him. What do I want with his heart?Larxene: Any objections, Vexen? Do you or don't you want to test Sora?Vexen: It must be done.Riku Replica: What?! How could you!Vexen: Didn't I say I intended to make good use of you?Larxene: Relax, kiddo. It won't hurt... much!Riku Replica: I'll show YOU hurt!Larxene: Stupid little toy! What made you think you could even SCRATCH me? But look on the bright side... Namine will erase the memory of me knocking you flat along with everything else. She'll implant the loveliest little memories you could ever hope for. So what if they're lies?Riku Replica: No... NOOO!!!

Basement Five Landing---------------------

Larxene: Why so glum, Namine? Is something on your mind? Feeling bad about tinkering with Sora's memory? Or maybe you-Riku Replica: Knock it off, Larxene. Namine wants to forget about Sora.Larxene: You don't say.Riku Replica: Don't worry, Namine. I'll make whatever's hurting you go away. I swear it on the good luck charm you gave me. I'll be back.Larxene: Simply amazing. It's like you completely rebuilt his heart... The good luck charm was an especially nice touch. I didn't know you could use memories to transform objects like cards into keepsakes. Just like you changed Kairi's good luck charm. It won't be long before Sora forgets her completely! And then he'll be yours to-Namine: He won't forget. No matter how much I change his memory, Sora will never forget Kairi. Memories of me will just make his feelings for Kairi stronger. Because... because I'm her shadow.Larxene: So what? There's your incentive not to screw up. Rewrite Sora's heart, and you can be somebody, not just the shadow of somebody. In Sora's heart, you can be real.

Basement Four Landing (part one)--------------------------------

Lexaeus: Vexen is no more.

Page 102: Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Guide

Zexion: Yes, his scent is gone. It was Axel. You know, it's deplorable... agents of the Organization striking each other down-Lexaeus: The bigger problem is Sora. His strength exceeds Vexen's, and yet surely Namine has subverted him by now. Zexion: So what do you propose? Shall we destroy Sora before Marluxia secures him?Lexaeus: That won't be necessary. If Marluxia is to hold the light, then we will hold the dark.Zexion: Riku...

Basement Four Landing (part two)--------------------------------

Riku: Just one card left. If I get through this, can I finally rid myself of the dark?

Basement Three Landing (part one)---------------------------------

Riku: That scent... You're another "nobody."Lexaeus: You've done well to make it this far, Riku. Your reputation is well deserved. But to be scared of the darkness... What a waste.Riku: I'm... I'm not scared.Lexaeus: I can see that you are. You have the potential to control it. Cast away the fear that weakens you. Unbind your heart, and take hold of the darkness within.Riku: And if I say no?Lexaeus: Then you end here - light, darkness, and all!Riku: Urgh!Lexaeus: See the power of darkness! I, Lexaeus, will not yield to a frail- hearted craven! Now, end your resistance, and let the darkness in!
