Master Ava’s role in the Master of Masters grand scheme has nearly finished. She gathered a legion of Keyblade wielders to survive the end of the world in the form of her Dandelions, and she even accomplished a lesser-known facet of her task, one known only to her and those involved. The Master selected five new Keyblade Masters to separate Ava’s\u00a0Dandelions<\/a> into Unions and lead them in the Foretellers’ stead. All of these Masters know their role thanks to Ava, but they don’t know each other. However, now that the Keyblade War has come and gone, it’s time for them to meet, and they’re to do so at the Keyblade Graveyard.<\/p>\n

This is a recap and interpretation of the major events in Kingdom Hearts Union Cross<\/em><\/strong> quests 661 through 675. These mark the first official major storyline quests to come out of the Union Cross<\/em> subtitle. Until this point, the game was branded as Unchained X<\/em> and only served to retell the original Kingdom Hearts X<\/em> story<\/a> for international audiences. Once Unchained X<\/em> caught up to and passed X<\/em>‘s final chapter \u2014 the Keyblade War \u2014 it took the name Kingdom Hearts Union Cross<\/em><\/a> to symbolize that all the stories told from this point on would consist of never-before-seen content, which includes this first meeting between\u00a0the new Union leaders.<\/p>\n

Ephemer is the first to arrive on the once-battlefield, and to his surprise, Skuld is the second. It’s not that he’s surprised she’s a Union leader; rather, he’s surprised that Master Ava wasn’t lying to him about there being others to help him with\u00a0the Dandelions. He was worried he’d be alone in it, so Skuld’s presence is reassuring. It doesn’t take long for the third wielder to arrive, but unlike Skuld, Ephemer doesn’t know him. However, longtime Kingdom Hearts<\/em> players<\/a> certainly will.<\/p>\n

The man introduces himself as Ventus<\/a> \u2014 Ven for short \u2014 and it’s clear he’s a ball of nerves and self-doubt. He’s envious of the fact that Skuld and Ephemer not only already know each other, but they’re friends. He’s been on his own for as long he can remember. He also can’t figure out why Ava would choose him to be a leader, as he’s not good at anything, nor did he really know her that well. It relieves him, then, when Ephemer and Skuld both assure him that Ava must have had her reasons and that he’s a part of their inner circle now, so he won’t have to be alone anymore.<\/p>\n

The fourth wielder likes the sounds of the conversation he’s overhearing. He introduces himself as Brain, and after some small talk, he reveals himself to be a curious and calculating individual. He first learns that Ephemer isn’t the team’s overall leader\u00a0like he figured\u00a0him to be\u00a0and that Skuld sees the rulebook given to them by Master Ava as something set in stone rather than a set of guidelines. Once he’s made Ava the topic of discussion, he asks the group its opinion on whether they can trust her. She is, after all, forcing them to lie to everyone about the Keyblade War<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ven and Skuld are both on the fence about the idea, but Ephemer already knows where he stands on it. With more authority than he probably means to, he tells the group that they’ll follow the\u00a0rules, as he doesn’t want anyone having to carry around the burden of the war’s events. To Ephemer’s embarrassment, Brain happily falls in line with this. He was sure from the moment he saw Ephemer<\/a> that he would be a good leader. He believes he’ll lead them down the right path, and his confidence encourages Ven and Skuld to throw their support behind the idea too. Still, Ephemer wants to wait till the last wielder shows up. There’s only one left.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Ephemer’s decision regarding the Keybalde War comes from two particular memories, which he recalled before answering Brain’s question. The first is of his meeting with Master Ava about the situation. They had just finished discussing the end of the world along with his becoming a Keyblade Master and Union leader<\/a>. Here, Ava handed him the rulebook and told him that one of the rules he and the others\u00a0had to follow involved keeping the Keyblade War a secret, something the Chirithy had the power to do.<\/p>\n

Ava wanted the world that the Dandelions would be living in to be something like an alternate reality that lacked\u00a0the “doom and gloom,” and Ephemer disagreed. The past makes the future, so he thought people should remember the war, even if it’s painful. However, Ava said something that made him second guess this belief. She wondered if he would feel the same if he actually fought in the war \u2014 witnessed it. After this, he experienced the second memory, finding the protagonist lying half-dead in the middle of the Keyblade Graveyard. That was all he needed to see to get on board with Ava’s point-of-view.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Speaking of Kingdom Hearts Union Cross<\/em>‘s protagonist<\/a>, things are going well for them. Life is simple \u2014 normal. They even joined their first Party with\u00a0a group of acquaintances they met back in quests 635 – 645. There is one thing bothering them, though. They’ve been having these really strange dreams lately, recurring nightmares that see them living out a specific set of miserable events. The weird thing is, these dreams play out as memories, but as far as the protagonist is concerned, they’ve never lived through anything like them before.<\/p>\n

Tonight they had a particular one about lying in the mud while surrounded by broken Keyblades and vanishing\u00a0hearts. Then they battled Master Aced<\/a> in Foutain Park. He lashed out at them after the three of them, Skuld included, disagreed about what constitutes justice. They\u00a0woke up after the fight to Chirithy, who claimed they\u00a0were having a nightmare. Felt real enough, though. Regardless, they agreed with Chirithy to take the whole day off and get some rest.<\/p>\n
