The Gathering is the name of the secret ending of Kingdom Hearts II. Sunset Horizons is the piece of backing soundtrack used during the video. The term "The Gathering" first appeared in the Deep Dive video ("A world between = A forgotten world. The Gathering.").

Summary

File:TheGathering.jpg
Terra, Aqua and Ven in full armor.

The video starts with the view of a desert. A semi-transparent Ansem's Report scrolls down the screen where one of them explains a detailed article on the Keyblade. There are a few shots of metal objects lying in the sand. The screen shows a man in armor, Terra standing amidst the desert waste, on the remains of a large construct decorated with various spikes. He looks to one side and sees another armored figure, Aqua approaching. Terra turns his head again and sees the third figure, Ventus, also approaching. As Aqua and Ven come closer, Terra walks towards three Keyblades standing alone in the wasteland, as the thing he was standing on dissipates in the same fashion as a dying Nobody. The three keyblades are Kingdom Key, Way to the Dawn, and Kingdom Key D. Terra takes the Kingdom Key, Ven takes Way to the Dawn, and Aqua takes Kingdom Key D.

The screen zooms out to show Terra, Ven, and Aqua standing in the center of a field of keychain-less Keyblades, one of which resembles the Fenrir Keyblade. They stand still for a few moments before something catches their attention and they all look up. A figure, too blurry to make out in the heat, is walking towards the three Keyblade Masters and words appear, briefly, on the screen in this order:

  • Master of Keyblade
  • The lost two
  • Memory of Xehanort
  • Chasers
  • Keyblade War
  • It all began with...
  • "Birth by sleep".

Possible Meanings

  • Master of Keyblade could refer to Master Xehanort, Master Eraqus, or possibly the Master Qualification Exam.
  • The lost two likely refers to Master Xehanort and Vanitas.
  • Memory of Xehanort could refer to Master Xehanort's memories of the Keyblade War, or the memories that Xehanort lost when he developed amnesia. Nomura has explained that these are related to the reason that Sora and Roxas can dual-wield, and why Roxas seems to have a heart.
  • Chasers could refer to Terra, Aqua, and Ven, who are chasing Master Xehanort and Vanitas. It is possible that "Chaser" is their rank, as well, as in the real world, "chaser" refers to one who engraves metal.
  • Keyblade War refers to an ancient war fought between Keyblade-wielders.
  • Birth by Sleep refers to how everything is "born through sleep". It may refer to the Awakening of new Keyblade masters.

Condition to Unlock this Scene

  • Beginner Mode: Cannot be unlocked
  • Standard Mode: Complete Jiminy's Journal
  • Proud Mode: Finish the game, lock Keyholes in all worlds.
