"'''Blank Points'''" is the secret ending of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. Unlike prior secret endings, "Blank Points" uses game-engine graphics and voice acting. Rather than being a non-canon "hint" at a future game, it is considered the true ending of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''.

==Synopsis==
'''''Hidden truths'''''
[[File:Blank Points 07 KHBBS.png|thumb|left|Master Xehanort and Terra dispute over who will control their fused self.]]
The secret ending opens with [[Terra]] and [[Master Xehanort]] standing in a black abyss. The two have a faint glow around them, as they are actually their hearts inside the new [[Terra-Xehanort|Xehanort]], and are conversing. Master Xehanort wonders aloud how Terra can still remain there after being possessed. Terra responds that it is still his body and heart, and he will eventually expel Master Xehanort. Master Xehanort merely shrugs this off, convinced that Terra will not be able to counter the darkness as he could not handle his own, but Terra reveals that Master [[Eraqus]] is residing within him, and no matter what the cost, he will not stop fighting until he has foiled Master Xehanort. The elderly Keyblade Master shows no concern, and gleefully informs Terra that possessing him was merely one of many roads he may choose to take.

'''''Image of their backs, preserved in memory.'''''

The new Xehanort, now with longer hair, brown eyes, and a lab coat, is seen walking through the corridors of [[Ansem the Wise]]'s castle. Braig approaches him and attempts to start conversation but finds himself completely rebuked. Shocked at his lacking response, Braig immediately deduces that the new Xehanort surely has lost all of his memories. Looking into Xehanort's eyes, he asks precariously if the man standing before him is actually Terra, but Xehanort still does not answer. Braig pats him on the back and states lightly that it doesn't matter, and that he's "got his back." As the two walk on, [[Ienzo]] and Ansem the Wise appear in the hall, holding hands and eating [[sea-salt ice cream]]. Just before they turn a corner, Ienzo stops, gaining his master's attention. Ienzo turns his head to see Braig and Xehanort walking away together behind them. Ansem also looks back thoughtfully at the backs of Xehanort and Braig.

'''''Two who were never meant to meet'''''
[[File:Blank Points 02 KHBBS.png|thumb|left|As Aqua wanders through the Realm of Darkness, she stumbles upon a hooded Ansem the Wise.]]
A hooded Ansem the Wise sits in the [[Dark Margin]], wearing a [[black coat]]. [[Aqua]] appears next to him, asks his name and how he ended up in the Dark Realm. Ansem remarks how rarely he has guests, says it is his second time on these shores, and explains that his memory has faded almost completely, "much like the first time," so he has difficulty recalling his past. Aqua sits next to him on the shore and states that she fell into the [[darkness]] and has been wandering for a long time, unable to find a way to her original world. Ansem asks why she wants to return, to which Aqua replies she promised she would be there for her friends. Hearing the word "''friends''," Ansem remembers he had once known a boy who was very similar to her, a boy who was loyal and true to his friends, and traveled across the worlds to safeguard the [[light]].

Ansem explains to Aqua that the worlds were almost swallowed by darkness multiple times, but they were always saved by that boy, wielding his Keyblade. Hearing this, Aqua asks if the boy's name happens to be Terra or [[Ventus]]. Ansem tells her that it is neither of them and explains further that it has been over a year since he had met the boy. He reflects aloud that through seeking vengeance he did many terrible things to the boy and his friends, causing so many people to suffer. He blames it on his conscience and the fact he has the heart of a researcher, and reveals that as the boy slept, he hid his research data within him. Ansem realizes that the boy, whose heart is connected to so many others, could possibly open the [[Door to Light|door]] and save those who are suffering because of him, remarking that they are all waiting to be born anew from sleep. Aqua then requests the boy's name.

'''''All the pieces lie where they fell'''''
[[File:Blank Points 09 KHBBS.png|thumb|right|Terra and Ventus look at the stars while saying Sora's name.]]
[[Naminé]] is seen in the White Room of the [[Old Mansion]] in [[Twilight Town]], finishing a drawing of [[Sora]] on the Paopu Tree. She says Sora's name and the scene changes to [[Roxas]], [[Xion]], and [[Axel]], who are sitting happily together on the Clock Tower with sea-salt ice cream and looking into the sunset. Roxas and Xion say Sora's name. Ventus is seen sitting asleep at the Land of Departure, where Terra appears next to him. Ven wakes up and the two say Sora's name while looking at a shooting star. Back at the Dark Margin, Aqua begins to cry tears of joy having heard the name of the little boy she met on Destiny Islands. She says Sora's name while looking to the moon on the horizon of the Realm of Darkness.

'''''Where they wait for him...'''''
[[File:Blank Points 04 KHBBS.png|thumb|left|Sora sits on the Paopu Tree.]]
Sora is then seen sitting on the Paopu tree on Destiny Islands, holding [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]]'s [[Mickey's letter#Second Letter|letter]] from the end of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', with a look of determination on his face. Riku walks up to him from behind, asking if he has decided yet. Sora responds that he has. [[Kairi]] appears and Sora explains to her that he needs to venture out and help the people who need him, because he is who he is now because of them. Kairi smiles and places her [[Wayfinder|Lucky Charm]] in his hand and tells him, "''See you soon.''"
