Ventus: Difference between revisions

Unfortunately, the process left Ventus in a comatose state, with his broken heart of pure light slowly fading out. Xehanort then took Ventus to the [[Destiny Islands]] to allow him to live out his last days peacefully. Ventus was sent to the [[Dive to the Heart]], where he came in contact with the heart of a newborn Sora. After a brief discussion, Ventus's heart connected with Sora's, halting its deterioration and allowing Ventus to stay alive until he someday becomes strong enough to repair the damage by himself. Ventus then summoned a Keyblade and shot a ray of light into the sky above, much to Xehanort's surprise. Xehanort decided that Ventus could still be of use in his master plan, but with Ventus still too weak in comparison to Vanitas, the two boys could not be trained under him since Vanitas had a naturally strong impulse to destroy Ventus.

To prevent this, Xehanort brought Ventus to Land of Departure, where he could train as an apprentice to Master Eraqus. Terra and Aqua met Ventus with open arms. However, when Terra asked Ventus about his past, he screamed out in agony, eventually falling unconscious. Eraqus revealed that this was because Ventus had lost his memories. Afterwards, he remained asleep for some time. As he slept, Aqua kept watch over him, to keep him safe. Some time later, Ventus woke up. Overjoyed, Aqua quickly alerted Eraqus and a worried Terra about Ventus's recovery.

Later, in the [[Castle of Dreams]], Ventus befriends [[Jaq]] and [[Cinderella]]. Though Terra isn't there, Ventus still lends a hand, helping gather supplies for Cinderella's dress, and even facing [[Lucifer]]. When the dress is complete, Cinderella thanks Jaq and Ventus, and the two talk about their dreams. It's at this point that Ventus decides that his dream is to become a Keyblade Master; the dream he and his friends all share.

While in [[Enchanted Dominion]], Ventus gets another clue regarding Terra. After freeing Princess [[Aurora]]'s heart, Ventus encounters [[Maleficent]]. Maleficent reveals that Terra helped steal Aurora's heart, but Aqua arrives just in time to convince Ventus otherwise. She then asks Ventus to go home with her, but he refuses, remembering the cryptic warning left by Vanitas.

It doesn't take long for Ventus to find companions, as he quickly meets [[Zack]] and [[Hercules]] in [[Olympus Coliseum]]. After stopping an Unversed threat, Ventus finally comes to understand what it means to be friends, and realizes that he, Terra, and Aqua will patch things up someday.

Eventually, Ventus finds Mickey's Star Shard in [[Neverland]], only to have it stolen, along with [[Tinker Bell]], by [[Captain Hook]]. He teams up with [[Peter Pan]] and the Lost Boys to defeat Captain Hook. Afterwards, Ventus, along with Peter and the Lost Boys, decide to put their own personal treasures in the empty chest they stole from Hook. As the Wooden Keyblade holds many cherished memories for Ventus, he puts it in the chest, believing his best memories with Terra and Aqua are still to come. With Hook out of the way, he also retrieves the Star Shard from Tinker Bell after a little persuasion from Peter, only to be whisked away to the [[Mysterious Tower]].

===''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''===

When Sora arrives at The World That Never Was, he is caught by the Organization and placed within a nightmare in which he chases after memories of Riku and Kairi. When he catches up to them at the [[Contorted City]], the phantoms suddenly take the form of Terra and Aqua, while Sora himself takes on Ventus's appearance. Sora is confused, but the phantoms attempt to grasp his hand before turning back into Riku and Kairi and walking off again. As Riku attempts to wake Sora on his own side of the dream, a memory of when Aqua came to Destiny Islands is manifested, and nearly wakes Sora up.

Following Xehanort's defeat, Ventus journeys through the portal to [[Scala ad Caelum]] alongside the other guardians of light. Here, Eraqus's heart emerges from Terra's and demands that Xehanort hand over the χ-blade. After some convincing, Xehanort relinquishes the χ-Blade to Sora, at which point Eraqus turns his attention to his former pupils, apologizing to them for everything he'd put them through in a tearful reunion before allowing his heart to move on alongside Xehanort's. With everything as it should be, Sora uses the χ-blade to bring them all back to the realm of light.

After leaving his Wayfinder at Eraqus' grave at the Land of Departure, Ventus notices Chirithy spying on them, and calls to it with open arms. The Chirithy bounds over happily and leaps into his arms, cuddling him before being introduced to Aqua and Terra.
