Hidden truths

Image of their backs, preserved in memory

Two who were never meant to meet

All the pieces lie where they fell

Where they wait for him

Reconnect. Kingdom Hearts

Summary

The secret ending opens with Terra and Master Xehanort standing in a black abyss. The two have a faint glow around them, the two conversing. Terra claims Xehanort may have his body, but his heart is still his. Master Xehanort denies this claim, later stating that Terra's heart would soon become a part of his. When Terra said he'd allow Xehanort to do as he pleased, the elderly Keyblade master deduced that Terra was harbouring another's heart inside him, Master Erauqs's. Terra then states that Xehanort would be better off with his heart, his heart all ready seeped in darkness. Master Xehanort made note of Terra's skill, claiming that there was still time to decide who would have control over Erauqs's heart. He then stated that a plan could only grow, "all the seeds now sewn."

We then see Xehanort walking through the halls of Ansem the Wise's castle. Braig runs up to him, attempting to start a conversation much to Xehanort's displeasure. Shocked when the man he calls "Master" doesn't recognize him, Braig immediately deduces that his colleague truly has lost all of his memories. Looking into Xehanort's eyes, he asks in amazement if the man before him is really Terra. Xehanort remains silent, Braig saying it didn't matter, and that he had "something great." As the two walked on, Ienzo and Ansem the Wise appeared in the hall, holding hands and eating Sea-Salt Ice Cream. Just before he and his young apprentice turned a corner, Ienzo stopped, gaining his master's attention. The young apprentice turned his head to see Braig and Xehanort. Ansem also looked back thoughtfully at Xehanort and Braig.

A hooded Ansem the Wise sits in the Dark Margin, wearing a black coat. Aqua appears next to him, asking for his name. Ansem then explains that his memory is fading, Aqua now asking what Ansem was doing in such a dark place. Ansem couldn't recall, Aqua stating that she had fallen into the world while attempting to return to her original one. This puzzled Ansem, Aqua then asking the status of the worlds. Ansem suspected that they were close to being shrouded in darkness, the man then stating that he had once known a boy with a key very similar to Aqua. He had been chosen to save the worlds and its denizens, and if he or one connected to him could do this, then a door would open. This was why, Ansem explained, the "key" had come to him. This grabbed Aqua's attention, the Keyblade wielder asking if the boy's name was either Terra or Ven. Ansem declined, explaining that it had been over a year since he had seen the boy last. He reflected aloud on how it was through vengeance that he had done many terrible things to the boy and his friends. He then confirmed that he had the heart of a scientist, and that part of his research data lay hidden in the boy as he had slept. Aqua then asked the boy's name, Ansem pausing. Naminé is seen drawing a picture of Sora, stating his name in the White Room of the Old Mansion in Twilight Town. Roxas, Xion, and Axel are then seen on the Clock Tower, the trio also stating his name. Ventus is seen asleep at the Land of Departure, Terra waking him up, the two also saying Sora's name. At the mention of this, Aqua starts to cry, also saying his name.

Sora is then seen sitting on a bent palm tree on Destiny Islands. Riku walks up to him from behind, asking if he's ready. Sora is seen holding King Mickey's letter from the end of Kingdom Hearts II, saying that he is. Kairi then appears, Sora apologizing for having to leave again, also saying that there were still sad people and he had to reconnect to those connected to him. Kairi then places her good luck charm in his hand and told him to hurry back.

Trivia

• While Tetsuya Nomura stated in an interview that the secret ending of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep doesn't advertise a future installment to the series, Sora's leaving Destiny Islands at the ending contradicts this. It is possible that any new installation will connect Kingdom Hearts coded, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, as Nomura had stated in another interview.
• It is unknown which characters Sora needs to reconnect to in his next possible journey. Possible characters include Ventus, Xion, and Vanitas, characters from the three newest installtions to the series that have all had a connection to Sora. It is also possible that Aqua will return, considering she survived the events of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and found her way to the Dark Margin a year after Kingdom Hearts II.
• Ansem the Wise was thought to have died at the end of Kingdom Hearts II when the Kingdom Hearts Encoder self-destructed. This is proven false, however, as Ansem describes in the secret ending of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep the events that happened in the main series, as well as stating that it had been almost a year since he saw Sora last, this last time being is final breaths in Kingdom Hearts II. It is unknown, however, why and how Ansem ended up in the Dark Margin.
