Cutscene QuotesEdit

Kingdom Hearts Union χEdit

  • "I'm all right. Thanks. I guess I got a little cocky. I'm Ephemer. I belong to the Union [Union]. Nice to meet you!"
    to Player in Waterfront Park.
  • "Looks like we're on different teams. But I'm working on something other than my Union task today, so think of me as Union free for the day. Hmm. I guess I can tell you what it is, since you helped me out. Can you keep a secret? The worlds we visit—the worlds of fairy tales—are nothing more than holograms. You know, projections. The light we collect there is actually this world's light."
    to Player.
  • "Umm, to put it simply: There are lots of worlds, right? And they're all connected by land. But it's impossible to go around to all of them. That's why there's a mechanism that projects those worlds here and allows us to collect Lux from far away lands. I'm gathering information, trying to figure out how the whole thing works. My hunch is that the Book of Prophecies held by the foretellers is what's creating these holograms. Get it? Or have I lost you?"
    to Player.
  • "Good. Anyway, we're in this town, gathering the light that belongs to this vast world. Not just gathering, fighting over it, without knowing why. After a little digging, I discovered that all the Unions have different goals."
    to Player.
  • "Really? Interesting... Hey, I've got an idea. Why don't you come with me?"
    to Player.
  • "Great! Then let's head to the place you saw in your dream."
    to Player.
  • "So you don't know where the room is? I've been here a few times, but I haven't found a way in. All right, let's split up and see if we can get inside somehow."
    to Player at the Clock Tower Area.
  • "Great minds think alike. Other than the entrance, this is the only place that connects outside. Be careful, there's a fair share of Heartless around here."
    to Player at the Underground Waterway.
  • "Now we're even."
    saving Player from an Invisible.
  • "Wait. I think we should come back later. It's taken us this long just to find a way in. Think of how much longer it'll take for us to enter the tower and find the room. It's gonna look suspicious to our Union leaders if we're missing for too long. We know how to get in now. Let's save the rest for another day."
    to Player.
  • "We may not be in the same Union, but we're friends, right? Let's meet tomorrow at Fountain Square. How about noon?"
    to Player.

Kingdom Hearts χ Back CoverEdit

  • "Uh-huh! Uh, hey, can I join you?"
    to Master Ava.
  • "Why the long face? Did something happen?"
    to Ava.
  • "Huh? Isn't it just because the Master said so?"
    to Ava about the Unions.

Kingdom Hearts Union χEdit

  • "Master Ava, you're really not yourself today. I guess even foretellers have their off days. Hey, maybe talking about the Book will cheer you up!"
    to Ava.
  • "No, no! I was joking!"
    to Ava.
  • "You know, I made a friend from another Union today. They don't talk much, but I think they're just shy. We're meeting again tomorrow."
    to Ava about Player.
  • "'Kay! Well, it was nice talking to you. I don't know what's got you down, but please cheer up!"
    to Ava before leaving.

Kingdom Hearts χ Back CoverEdit

  • "Woah! You're really not yourself today."
    to Ava.
  • "You know, I made a friend from another Union today. Wasn't much of a talker, maybe just shy. We're meeting again tomorrow."
    to Ava about Player.

Kingdom Hearts Union χEdit

  • "Sorry, Player..."
    at the Underground Waterway.
  • "Who is it? You...!?"
    to Ava.
  • "Me? A Master? A Union leader? That's crazy. And what's this nonsense about "the end"?"
    to Ava.
  • "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."
    to Ava.
  • "So it's like an alternate reality?"
    to Ava.
  • "So they won't remember any of it?"
    to Ava about memories of the war.
  • "It might be a burden, but isn't it better they remember the past? The past IS what makes the future."
    to Ava.
  • "I'm sorry. I really am! There was something important I had to take care of. I hope you can forgive me. Are you still up for our adventure?"
    to Player in a dream.
  • "It's up ahead. Are you with me? Ah, you're not ready yet. I had a feeling that might be the case. I'll be waiting, Player."
    to Player in a dream.
  • "Sorry about that."
    to Player in the aftermath of the Keyblade War.
  • "I know, but I'm here now. Let's go."
    to Player.
  • "Skuld? Well, this is a surprise!"
    to Skuld.
  • "Of course not! We came here once right after the war, remember? I just never thought I'd see you here again."
    to Skuld.
  • "I dunno. I wasn't sure I believed Master Ava when she said others would come. But now that you're here..."
    to Skuld.
  • "So, Master Ava talked to you too, huh?"
    to Ventus.
  • "She's easy to talk to, that's for sure."
    to Ventus about Ava.
  • "No, we haven't decided any of that yet. I think we should wait until we're all here."
    to Brain.
  • "Rules are rules. I don't want anyone else to have to carry the burden of the past."
    to Brain.
  • "About that... I don't know if we should be assigning people just yet."
    to the other Union leaders.
  • "We should keep the five Unions as they are for now. As for who goes where, we'll need to discuss it in length."
    to the other Union leaders.
  • "Exactly. I don't want people being loyal to only their own Unions."
    to the other Union leaders.
  • "You can speak up if you don't agree."
    to Ventus.
  • "Then it's settled. Oh, and to avoid any confusion or chaos, let's not say a word about the foretellers to anyone just yet."
    to the other Union leaders.
  • "Chirithy, don't forget about your task."
    to Player's Chirithy.
  • "And we can't stand to lose anyone now. The darkness in this world is not the same as what we faced in the other one."
    to Player's Chirithy.
  • "It feels more...complex, like there's more to it than meets the eye. Almost like it has its own will."
    to Player's Chirithy.
  • "I know. I'm sorry, but this concerns everyone. I get a really bad feeling every time something happens in this world that didn't happen in the other one. This Union Cross business also feels...off. Something's not right."
    to Skuld.
  • "I know, but— "May your heart be your guiding key.""
    to Skuld.
  • "Oh, hey, Lauriam. I was thinking about that Shift Pride thing mentioned in the book. It might just be a friendly competition, but I don't like the thought of wielders fighting each other. But it's written in the book, so we have no choice. Why would Master Ava and the others want us to do this?"
    to Lauriam.
  • "You're right. I have been kind of anxious since I became a Union leader. Thanks, Lauriam."
    to Lauriam.
  • "That's worrying. Can I help?"
    to Lauriam about a missing person.
  • "But EVERYONE here is a leader."
    to Brain.
  • "A-all right. When we became Union leaders...we all received a copy of the rulebook. Do you remember reading about Shift Pride?"
    to the other Union leaders.
  • "Up to me, huh? I think we should do what it says."
    to the other Union leaders.
  • "Not so fast, Brain. I said we should follow the book. But I don't want wielders fighting each other. Remember how all the worlds were recreated as data after the Keyblade War? That means we were also recreated as data. All of us."
    to the other Union leaders.
  • "People don't have to fight each other. They can fight other wielders' data instead."
    to the other Union leaders.
  • "Hey! Well, maybe I did have a little help from Lauriam."
    to the other Union leaders.
  • "In any case, we can thank Lauriam for this solution. I wouldn't have come up with it myself! Too bad he's not here to take credit for it."
    to the other Union leaders.
  • "I didn't realize you were going to show up so soon. If I had, I would've waited to talk about Shift Pr—"
    to Lauriam.
  • "Someone who's not very talkative, someone who didn't join the Dandelions."
    to the other Union leaders about Player.
  • "A friend of mine."
    to the other Union leaders about Player.
  • "Long time, no see! I know we haven't had a chance to talk much lately, but I've been swamped. I've heard that you're doing really well with your missions, though!"
    to Player.
  • "Things are a little hectic."
    to Player.
  • "Someone wants to meet you. You know the Union leaders, right?"
    to Player.
  • "No, I thought we could spend the day together, if you don't have anything else planned."
    to Player.
  • "I haven't had that much fun in a long time! Thanks, Player! It's good to take a break every now and then."
    to Player.
  • "Well, I should be heading back."
    to Player.
  • "This is an emergency. Besides, I trust Player. Let's go."
    to Player and their Chirithy.
  • "This is Player, the friend I mentioned before. Brain, what's going on? Some strange things are happening outside."
    to Brain.
  • "Hmm. It would make the most sense for this to be the real world."
    to Brain.
  • "Is this...the world we were looking for?"
    arriving at Game Central Station.
  • "We need to find out what's causing the glitches, and why the Darklings are here. Let's split up. I'll take the Darklings. Player, can I count on you to investigate the glitches?"
    to Player.
  • "I was chasing that. And it led me to you. Are you with me?"
    to Player.
  • "You said that before, but what do you mean?"
    to a Darkling.
  • "Did they...fuse together?"
    when a cy-bug consumed the Darkling.
  • "This isn't good! It looks like that monster somehow absorbed the Darkling into itself. We need to defeat it before it's too late. Are you ready?"
    to Player.
  • "No problem! This is just like our missions back home."
    to Calhoun.
  • "I see. So you think there might be a link between the bad guy, Ralph, and the glitches. Player, can you keep looking into the glitches? I'll head back and inform the others about the Darklings."
    to Player.
  • "I'm tasking you with this because I trust you. And I know you'll be fine on your own. Besides, even when we're apart, our hearts are always connected. Don't forget that."
    to Player.
  • "Sort of. You see, before the Keyblade War...Daybreak Town was recreated as data along with all the other worlds. That's why even though the worlds were destroyed, they're still connected to Daybreak Town...and we're still able to visit them—or at least their data copies."
    to Lauriam.
  • "My friend and I followed the Darklings there and did some investigating. It looks like that's where the creatures that have been popping up in our world are coming from."
    to Lauriam.
  • "The real Daybreak Town still exists, right?"
    to Brain.
  • "It couldn't have been Master Ava. She gathered us together so she could keep light alive. She wouldn't trick us like this."
    to the other Union leaders.
  • "I'm surprised you asked me to come all the way out here."
    to Brain.
  • "The surprises keep coming!"
    to Brain.
  • "What? Brain, you have the Book of Prophecies?"
    to Brain.
  • "You brought them both?"
    to Brain's Chirithy.
  • "Brain, maybe we should talk to them separately."
    to Brain.
  • "Yeah, it is. We'll discuss this with him later after we know more. He has a lot on his plate right now looking into Strelitzia's disappearance."
    to Skuld and Ventus about Lauriam.
  • "That's right. And I think we got the answer we were looking for. Like Brain said, nothing changes—we're still a team. We'll keep working together to try to figure this whole thing out."
    to Skuld and Ventus.
  • "So it was a part of Master Ava's plan, then?"
    to Brain.
  • "Then who did Ven talk to?"
    to Brain.
  • "To keep light alive, right?"
    to Brain.
  • "...Darkness."
    to the other Union leaders.
  • "Wait. Didn't you say you met at the tower?"
    to Ventus.
  • "Is Ven all right?"
    to Skuld.
  • "Do you think it's watching us? Waiting to make a move?"
    to Brain about darkness.
  • "So it might come for us?"
    to Brain.
  • "Lauriam, stop."
    to Lauriam.
  • "What do you want?"
    to Darkness.
  • "Even if he did, he wouldn't go so far as to take it from someone, or steal their spot as leader."
    to Darkness about Ventus.
  • "Friends? Then you and the Master are on the same side?"
    to Darkness.
  • "Yeah... I can't take you down alone. I'm not even sure I can wear you down."
    to Darkness.
  • "Oh? So you surrender?"
    to Darkness.
  • "Skuld! You're all right!"
    to Skuld.
  • "What have you done to the real world?"
    to Darkness.
  • "No. I don't believe it. Master Ava is the one who brought us together. I don't know about the other Masters, but I know for sure that Master Ava wouldn't just throw us away like that!"
    to Darkness.
  • "Let's do this."
    to the Union leaders.
  • "Did we win?"
    to the Union leaders.
  • "I hope everything's okay."
    to Skuld and Player.
  • "Lauriam knows it wasn't Ven's fault, right?"
    to Skuld and Player.
  • "No, Lauriam said everything was fine."
    to Skuld.
  • "I'm not sure. There's a lot we don't know. About this world, the Keyblade Masters, darkness... But think back to what Master Ava taught us. That when this world is shrouded in darkness, it'll just go to sleep."
    to Skuld.
  • "It's not much, I know, but it's enough to keep me from giving up hope. I played a part in bringing the Dandelions together, so I have a responsibility to save everyone. And I'm gonna try my best to do that."
    to Skuld.
  • "Thanks for always being there, Skuld."
    to Skuld.
  • "Lauriam. Someone's here to see you."
    to Lauriam about Elrena.
  • "A black coat could only mean... One of the Keyblade Masters?"
    to the others.
  • "We don't have time to think about that now. Come on, let's go to the basement."
    to the others.
  • "Would you mind carrying Ven?"
    to Lauriam.
  • "I count six."
    counting the lifeboat.
  • "But there are seven of us."
    to the others.
  • "So it's not THIS world we need to be worried about."
    to the others.
  • "And we can't let that happen. We Keyblade wielders need to live on."
    to the others.
  • "Agreed. Brain, you should go back. Having you in the real world will give us the best chance to save the people here."
    to Brain.
  • "Brain, Player, Elrena, and Ven each take one. Skuld, Lauriam, one of you should take the last—"
    to the others.
  • "Thanks. All right, we don't have much time. Who's going?"
    to the others.
  • "Then it's settled. Lauriam, can you look after Ven? Hop in, Elrena. Brain, take care of everyone."
    to the others.
  • "But this is yours..."
    when Brain gives him his Keyblade.
  • "I'll hold on to these for now, but as far as I'm concerned, they still belong to you. Master Ava entrusted them to you for a reason."
    to Brain.
  • "Player, are you sure about this?"
    to Player.
  • "Of course. Brain's with them."
    to Skuld.
  • "Yeah. It's so quiet."
    to Skuld and Player.
  • "And you thought we'd just agree to that?"
    to the Darknesses.
  • "I won't do it."
    to the Darknesses.
  • "(Once this starts, get in the lifeboat. One of us needs to survive.)"
    whispering to Player.
  • "Player! What's wrong with you?"
    to Player.
  • "Wait, are you—?"
    thinking that Player is possessed by Darkness.
  • "Stop... Player..."
    to Player.
  • "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry..."
    after sending Player and the Darknesses away.
  • "Let's go home."
    to Skuld.
  • "They all made it out."
    arriving in the real world.
  • "Let's take a look outside."
    to Skuld.
  • "Skuld, it's way too dangerous out here. Let's go back inside."
    to Skuld.
  • "Skuld, get in."
    to Skuld.
  • "It's not over till it's over, Skuld."
    to Skuld.
  • "Player..."
    reminiscing about Player.

Kingdom Hearts IIIEdit

  • "Need some help?"
    before summoning the light of the past to help Sora.
