Kingdom Hearts Union χ

• "What do you plan to do with this world?"
  — to the Master of Masters.
• "So you came to this world just to end it?"
  — to the Master.
• "You have the Book of Prophecies, and therefore knowledge of all things. Strange that you would knowingly waste your time and efforts."
  — to the Master.
• "All this was for a waypoint?"
  — to the Master.
• "You used the Book and your apprentice to travel into the future?"
  — to the Master.
• "The seven pods, and the seven crowns..."
  — to the Master.
• "Including your apprentice?"
  — to the Master.
• "You're even more clever than I thought."
  — to the Master.
• "What indeed?"
  — to the Master about their scheme.
• "What might that be?"
  — to the Master about something interesting in the future.
• "You are difficult to understand."
  — to the Master.
• "No. Just you."
  — to the Master.
• "It is important to understand your enemy."
  — to the Master.
• "All of us."
  — to the Master.
• "We are friends after all."
  — to the Master.
• "So where is it that you plan to run off to next?"
  — to the Master.
• "Where might that be?"
  — to the Master.
• "Fiction? Not the data world?"
  — to the Master.
• "Pick that up. Let's go."
  — telling Ventus to pick up the rulebook from Strelitzia.
• "Because I knew you would come from the future, Maleficent."
  — to Maleficent.
• "You can call me...Darkness."
  — to Maleficent.
• "It's clear why you're here, Maleficent. You want to erase your humiliating defeat from history...and collect the seven hearts of pure light. But changing the past is not as easy as you think. There are rules when it comes to time travel. You can only return to a time where a version of you exists. But to do so, you must first separate your heart and body. When that boy pierced your heart with his Keyblade... You remembered what you learned from the old Keyblade wielder, didn't you? You thought you could finally use it to traverse time. But the Master knew you would use that method to come to the past. That's why the Enchanted Dominion was never created...in the real world before the Keyblade War."
  — exposing Maleficent.
• "Indeed. You see... Before the Keyblade War, Keyblade wielders defeated monsters and gathered light...from the worlds of the future seen in the Book of Prophecies. But after the War...the Master and foretellers vanished...and the tragic memories of the remaining Keyblade wielders were overwritten. The worlds from the Book of Prophecies became unreachable. But there within the data, the worlds were recreated...including worlds unfamiliar to the real world."
  — to Maleficent.
• "No. This is a world of data. What has been written here cannot be changed."
  — to Maleficent.
• "Not quite. It wasn't your power I feared...but the act of you taking the knowledge of the past to the future. That's why only six worlds containing hearts of pure light were created here. I didn't want you learning what happens in that seventh world."
  — to Maleficent.
• "No, that I can't do. You must return to your original time."
  — to Maleficent.
• "There is a way."
  — to Maleficent about traveling into the future.
• "Yes. Head for that tower up ahead."
  — to Maleficent about the Clock Tower in Daybreak Town.
• "Not directly. From the tower, you can get back to the real world and find the lifeboat that's hidden in the real tower."
  — to Maleficent.
• "It was intended to be a way to escape from our world. It was never finished though, so it's still incomplete."
  — to Maleficent.
• "It's useful to you BECAUSE it's incomplete. You need to escape this TIME, not this world. In its incomplete state, the lifeboat can't sustain a passenger's body at the speed it moves. Which means if you board it, your body will be lost, leaving only your heart to be transported. Without your body slowing you down, you'll be able to break the time barrier at the speed of light."
  — to Maleficent.
• "All you need is a medium to form your body, and someone with memories of you. As long as those exist in the future when you arrive...your heart will grow a new body to inhabit on its own."
  — to Maleficent.
• "I can. According to the Book of Prophecies, you exist in the future."
  — to Maleficent.
• "Maybe not all of it."
  — to Maleficent about its knowledge of the Book of Prophecies.
• "This place is off-limits, so no one comes in here."
  — to Maleficent inside in the Clock Tower.
• "Think of me as an old friend."
  — to Maleficent about its connection with Daybreak Town.
• "I need you to act as a waypoint."
  — to Maleficent.
• "Didn't I tell you earlier? In order to travel through time, you need a medium to form a body, and someone with memories of you. No one from this world has those in the future. But if we send you back, that all changes. Someone from this time could find their way to you."
  — to Maleficent.
• "That's not important. Getting back to your own time is all that matters, right?"
  — to Maleficent.
• "If you want to go now, this is your chance."
  — to Maleficent in the room of the lifeboat.
• "I wouldn't waste my time snooping around if I were you."
  — to Maleficent.
• "It's the real world. Congratulations on your successful escape."
  — to Maleficent.
• "No, this is still the past. You just made it back to the real world from the data world."
  — to Maleficent.
• "We had to leave the data world...before we could even try to travel through time."
  — to Maleficent.
• "Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. The lifeboat was only made to travel to other worlds, so we're already pushing it to its limits."
  — to Maleficent.
• "I'll stay here. You'll be fine on your own, and I have some unfinished business to take care of."
  — to Maleficent.
• "Finally. It's about time."
  — revealing itself to the Union leaders.
• "So you say. But I have no form to speak of. We mostly go unnoticed, after all. What you see and hear now is for your benefit."
  — to Brain.
• "Want? I want nothing. I simply am."
  — to Ephemer.
• "It must be hard for you to understand. We're very different. Unlike you, our actions don't serve a greater purpose or goal."
  — to the Union leaders.
• "It was his will."
  — referring to Ventus.
• "You're right. They were strangers. But what he wished for was power. I simply helped him fulfill that wish by making him a Union leader."
  — to Skuld.
• "Power is power. How it's acquired is of no consequence."
  — to Ephemer.
• "Because it was decided."
  — to Brain about Ventus.
• "That he would harbor darkness."
  — to Brain about Ventus.
• "Yes. It was written in the Book of Prophecies."
  — to Brain.
• "In a manner of speaking, yes. At least the parts that matter to us."
  — to Brain about having read the Book.
• "We read the words as they were being written."
  — to Brain.
• "We're old friends."
  — to Brain about the Master.
• "We have no need to side with people."
  — to Ephemer.
• "You're wrong. We haven't been hiding. You simply never noticed us before. All that's changed is that you've finally acknowledged our existence."
  — to Brain.
• "Shadows outnumber light."
  — to Brain.
• "It's over."
  — to Ephemer and Brain.
• "Shall we call it done, then?"
  — to Ephemer and Brain.
• "Infection."
  — to Brain.
• "Data transfer requires a signal. The same goes for the hearts and minds of you humans. You underestimate how easily the darkness rides on those signals...and spreads through this place."
  — to Brain.
• "I told you. Because it was decided."
  — to Brain about Ventus.
• "We are many, and we are one. But to be one requires will. Through him, we could divide into pure darkness and light...willfull and distinct. It was a sacrifice that needed to be made."
  — to the Union leaders about Ventus.
• "One more ally will make no difference."
  — after Lauriam rejoins the battle.
• "It's useless. Even if you do manage to defeat us, you will still lose."
  — after Player joins in.
• "And how do you plan on doing that? With the lifeboat?"
  — to Lauriam.
• "You know nothing."
  — to the Union leaders.
• "If you return, Daybreak Town will still succumb to darkness."
  — to the Union leaders.
• "Nothing. It was decided long ago. When the lifeboat is activated, this world falls to darkness. It is already in motion. The beginning of the end."
  — to the Union leaders.
• "The lifeboat is the last line of defense—to be relied upon in the event we cannot be defeated. Its use initiates the process to seal this world, and us along with it. The evil fairy's departure was the trigger. It cannot be stopped."
  — to the Union leaders.
• "I am formless. You cannot destroy me."
  — to the Union leaders.
• "Now to check on the data..."
  — after Maleficent leaves.
• "Who are you? There shouldn't be any Keyblade Masters left in this world."
  — to Luxu.
• "...Luxu."
  — to Luxu.
• "Why are you here? You're only meant to observe."
  — to Luxu.
• "If you use that, your plan is as good as ruined."
  — to Luxu about the lifeboat.
• "I don't know who you sent, but there are five left. Who will they go to?"
  — to Luxu.
• "It wasn't of any interest to me."
  — to Luxu.
• "Expansion."
  — to Luxu.
• "Nor we you. You spent time grooming these wielders, only to trap and leave them behind in the data world. Why?"
  — to Luxu.
• "And yet you follow him?"
  — to Luxu about the Master of Masters.
• "But you're not certain."
  — to Luxu.
• "I see. That we understand. We're not fond of light either."
  — to Luxu.
• "To spread throughout the data world using its signals. To accompany the chosen one into the future, so I can lay claim to worlds not yet created."
  — to Luxu.
• "Oh? I thought you were told not to interfere."
  — to Luxu.
• "Then why waste the effort?"
  — to Luxu.
• "Silence!"
  — to Luxu.
• "You're well informed. Yes, six of us remained after the war, after which we found ourselves in the data world."
  — to Luxu.
• "As you are in mine."
  — Luxu standing in its way.
• "No need for alarm. We are not here to fight. We merely ask that you open our gate before you leave."
  — to Ephemer, Skuld, and Player.
• "Oh, yes. The darkness you fought must have told you our purpose: infection. We will travel through portals and infect other worlds."
  — to Ephemer, Skuld, and Player.
• "You have no choice. We overpower you. We could take over one of you here and now. You can open our gate of your own will, or out of regret and shame at losing a friend before your very eyes."
  — to Ephemer, Skuld, and Player.
• "Fools."
  — to Ephemer, Skuld, and Player.
• "Well done. Using anger to get them to open our gate for us. Through this portal, we can access and infect countless worlds. It's time you rid yourself of that brittle human vessel. Unless you wish to waste away along with it."
  — to "Darkness" in Player.
• "Why are you laughing?"
  — to Player.
• "You... It was all an act?"
  — to Player.
• "Why you—!"
  — to Player.

Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind

• "No, leave him be. He's too pure...and a pure heart can be most careless."
  — to Sora about Ventus.
• "...Darkness."
  — introducing itself to Sora.
