;Before quest
*: "We cannot avoid the end; not even the Masters, including myself, are likely to survive."
*: "Me? A Master? A Union leader? That's crazy. And what's this nonsense about "the end"?"
*Master Ava: "There isn't much time left. You are the ones who will remain. Someone needs to keep everything and everyone in order. Otherwise, light will expire."
*Ephemer: "But—"
*Master Ava: "I'll select four others from the Dandelions. The five of you will each lead a Union, as the five of us have. You won't be alone in this."
*Master Ava: "The five of you can work together."
*Ephemer: "The five of us..."
:[Master Ava walks up to Ephemer and gives him a book.]
:[The scene skips to Ephemer, Skuld, and Ventus on the field of Keyblades.]
*: "You two know each other, huh? Must be nice; I've always been on my own."
*: "I was pretty much on my own too."
*Ventus: "I wonder why I was chosen for this. I'm not especially good at anything... And I'm never at the top of the rankings."
*Skuld: "I'm sure Master Ava has her reasons."
*Ventus: "You think so? I don't know her all that much. I've barely spoken with her."
*Ephemer: "She's easy to talk to, that's for sure."
*Skuld: "You say that about everyone."
*Ephemer: "Not true!"
*Ventus: "I sure wish I had friends."
*Ephemer: "You do! Right here."
*Ventus: "Yeah!"
*Voice: "Friends. Cool."
*Ephemer, Skuld, and Ventus: "!"
*Skuld: "You must be number four."
*: "The name's Brain. Pleasure."
:[The scene shows lying on the field of Keyblades in the rain.]
:[The scene skips to and Chirithy walking into the Fountain Square, where two Keyblade wielders are arguing.]
*: "Not again..."
*Chirithy: "Don't get involved. I know it's frustrating, but you can't fix everything."
*Chirithy: "Everyone seems to have a bone to pick. I hope things don't get any worse..."
:[The two keyblade wielders grab their Keyblades.]
*: "!"
:[ runs up to them and blocks their Keyblades, just as they wanted to attack each other.]
*Chirithy: "!"
*Chirithy: "Wait! We're all on the same side!"
*White Overalls Keyblade Wielder: "Are we? Then why did they steal our Lux?"
*Casual Blue Keyblade Wielder: "What are you talking about? We're just trying to protect the light. I'll bet good munny that it's your Union that's fallen into darkness. Traitors!"
*White Overalls Keyblade Wielder: "What did you say!? How can you prove YOU'RE not the traitor!?"
:[The two Keyblade wielders ready their Keyblades again.]
*Chirithy: "Hold on! We're all on the same side! Why are you fighting!?"
*Casual Blue Keyblade Wielder: "Mind your own business!"
:[Skuld comes running to the two Keyblade wielders.]
*Skuld: "Stop it!"
*Chirithy: "Skuld!"
*Casual Blue Keyblade Wielder: "Who are you? Which Union do YOU belong to?"
*Skuld: "It doesn't matter. Our only enemy is darkness. Our Keyblades aren't meant to harm one another!"
*White Overalls Keyblade Wielder: "Anyone who tries to steal the light is no different than a monster of darkness!"
*Skuld: "What!?"
:[More Keyblade wielders approach.]
*Casual Blade Keyblade Wielder: "The war's already begun."
*Voice: "That's right."
*Everyone: "!"
:[Master Aced comes walking up to the group.]
*: "We can only place trust in our own Unions. We cannot tell who has fallen into darkness with a mere glance. Why do you fight over Lux? Light is not proof of strength. Victory is proof of strength. And a strong Union is proof of justice."
*Skuld: "What?"
*Master Aced: "Do you disagree? Aren't you one of Ava's chosen wielders? One of the Dandelions? You, of all people, should be able to see that she's using her special Union to demonstrate her power."
*Skuld: "..."
:[ walks up to Master Aced.]
*: "I don't belong to the Dandelions."
*Master Aced: "Which Union do you belong to?"
*: "[Union]."
*Master Aced: "Stand ready."
*: "!"
;After quest
:[ wakes up in their bed.]
*: "Where am I...?"
*: "Are you okay?"
*: "Was it all...a dream?"
*Chirithy: "You looked like you were having a nightmare. Why don't you take it easy today and get some rest?"
*: "I think I will. How long was I asleep?"
*Chirithy: "No longer than usual."
:[ goes back to sleep.]
*Chirithy: "Goodnight..."
:[The scene shifts back to Master Ava and Ephemer on a grass hill just outside Daybreak Town.]
*: "There are rules the five of you must obey when you become leaders of your own Unions."
*: "I'm listening, but this whole conversation about the end and leading Unions and all... I'm still trying to wrap my head around it."
*Master Ava: "As long as you keep listening."
*Ephemer: "...Okay."
*Master Ava: "What I need you to do is to prepare the other world. I'll be sending all Dandelions there soon. You'll continue living your lives, but without the impending doom."
*Ephemer: "So it's like an alternate reality?"
*Master Ava: "Yes. But in order for it to work, the Dandelions will need to forget all about the strife, the war."
*Ephemer: "So they won't remember any of it?"
*Master Ava: "There's no need for them to remember such a tragedy. It'll simply be a burden. Only the five of you will know the truth. The Chirithy of each wielder will make it happen."
*Ephemer: "It might be a burden, but isn't it better they remember the past? The past IS what makes the future."
*Master Ava: "I thought you might say that. But I wonder if you feel the same if you were there to witness the end."
*Ephemer: "..."
:[The scene shifts back to the field of Keyblades.]
*: "Thought I'd be the last to arrive. Guess I'm not so lazy after all."
*Ephemer: "I guess not."
*Brain: "So, you the leader?"
*Ephemer: "No, we haven't decided any of that yet. I think we should wait until we're all here."
*Brain: "You got it. Hey, about the rules, think they're set in stone? Or more like a guideline?"
*Skuld: "They're rules. Of course they're set in stone."
*Brain: "I get it. You're the serious one. Like Master Ava."
*Skuld: "You're not the first person to say that."
*: "I thought you seemed familiar."
*Ephemer: "But Master Ava's so amazing!"
*Skuld: "What does that mean?"
*Brain: "But seriously, how do we know we can trust her? She's forcing us to lie to everyone, since we're the only ones who're supposed to know the truth."
*Ventus: "Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about it either."
*Skuld: "But..."
:[The scene once again shows lying on the field of Keyblades in the rain. This time, Chirithy appears by him.]
*Chirithy: "It's all right. You've done enough."
:[The rain stops and a bright light shines down on .]
*: "Is it my time...?"
:[Skuld appears and walks to .]
*: "Skuld..."
*Skuld: "..."
:[Next, Ephemer walks up to .]
*: "We made...a promise..."
*Ephemer: "I didn't forget."
*: "You're late..."
*Ephemer: "I know, I'm sorry."
:[The scene shifts back to Ephemer, Skuld, Ventus, and Brain.]
*Voice: "I thought you might say that. But I wonder if you would feel the same if you were there to witness the end."
*Ephemer: "Rules are rules. I don't want anyone else to have to carry the burden of the past."
*Brain: "Got it."
*Brain: "I trust you'll guide us down the right path."
*Ventus: "Same here!"
*Ephemer: "Just one more."
