So we're finally off to Radiant Garden which is serves as the turning point in both stories we've played through. The gang meets and breaks up again, feelings are hurt, secrets are revealed and a line is drawn. What exactly will Terra do in this World filled with light? Who will he meet? Time to find out!

• When we enter Radiant Garden the first thing we see is Ven running through the streets, which I suppose makes sense since we just talked about him so much with Master Xehanort.
• Oh jeez is Ven going to bump into Terra? I’d laugh.
• Nope… Terra spots Scrooge and then some Unversed which he thinks means that Master Xehanort was right.
• And um… there goes Master Xehanort? He’s not doing a good job of this whole “sneaking” thing. But Terra takes it to mean that he’s figured something out.
• HEY! You know what I just noticed? Radiant Garden doesn’t rain sparkles like it’s supposed to.
• So… oh jeez Merlin here’s and he’s dropped Pooh’s story book. So Terra does his good deed of the day and goes to return the book but the good deed of the day becomes moot when he addresses Merlin as “Your Elderness.” Well at least Merlin isn’t offended by the title.
• Anyhoo Merlin is like “that isn’t mine!” (and oh lord will this book come back to haunt him) Anyhoo for it not being his book he’s certainly whipped out a nice corner for it in his house rather quickly.
• Whoops, Merlin is ticked off by the title.
• So… again Pooh is whittled down into a useless minigame and by that I mean that you don’t even get to talk and interact with Pooh. :C
• Upon leaving Merlin’s house we see a bit of Mecha!Unversed float by (this time the legs).
• After a bit of running we come face to face with… Aqua and Ven!
• And here comes MEEEEEEEECAH!UNVERSED!
• Again the trio One-Two-Threes the Mecha!Unversed and they all pat each other on the back and get passes to Disney Town and the grown up line is still HILARIOUS!
• And… Maybe I didn’t catch it the first time but Ven says “that guy in the mask is history.” And Terra freaks out but now we know why! And now we know what Terra’s dangerous task is.
• Again I agree with Aqua during this whole fight scene. But my dislike for Terra has MAJORLY gone down; I had assumed he had done a lot more bad than what he’s actually done. But yeah, Aqua’s still in the right here.
• Oh for fuc-,
• Terra says Master Xehanort is the only one he can count on.
• And… HERE’S BRAIG! Apparently some old “coot” is asking for us? Is he talking about Xehanort?
• HA! Braig’s taken Master Xehanort as his prisoner! God I love Braig… He and Vanitas should like… have evil man-babies together.
• Oh for crap’s sake don’t tell me I have to fight Braig?! Anyhoo Braig tells us where he’s keeping Xehanort (can’t Xehanort escape with a dark portal or something?) and then says “Ciao!” and my heart goes aflutter.
• Of course it’s not true Terra! And there’s plenty of harm in us going!
• Since I haven’t really pointed it out before I’ll point it out here. Before almost every boss battle there’s a save point. The only ones that didn’t was the mirror fight and the giant Mecha!Unversed (who isn’t a boss but is hard enough to be one). Most of the games in this series aren’t so… blatant about boss battles. Most of the time you know ones coming because of the story but… here you really know there’s going to be a boss fight when you spot the tell-tale save point.
• So… we’ll be fighting Braig, eh?
• Let me get “Bulletproof” ready.
• So remember when I was all like “BRAIG!” back in Aqua’s story? Well we’re in the same room. Only… nobody’s here. Until the camera pans up and in the distance we see… Master Xehanort chained to a pipe.
• I’ll admit it. I snorted.
• Oh god, Braig marry me! He’s all like “The old coot sure knows how to take punishment, and I sure know how to deal it out!”
• Again, Terra? With the whole monster thing? Really?
• Ha! So apparently Braig wants a keyblade because “these days everybody’s got one of those.” So he’s met Ven? Or Vanitas? Lol “Even grandpa there!”
• Hur hur, Braig is all like “so if I beat the crap outta you, Mr. Almost Keyblade Master, than I’m like… the keyslinger! Get it?”
• Oh. My. God. Braig I’m in love!
• And apparently he’s got Xehanort rigged to blow? Because Braig knows he can’t take Terra on “mano a mano.”
• So Terra stands there and blocks Braig’s shots. Pfff.
• And then Braig says: For a Keyblade Master, you’re not very – what’s the word – good?
• Oh god Xehanort is a freak of nature. He’s all like “FIGHT WITH THE KEYBLADE! OR YOU’LL SHAME YOUR MASTER! USE THE KEYBLADE!”
• Lols, the ground starts the shake with Terra’s RAGE and Braig is like “so much for that lie…”
• Now do we fight?
• Yep! Ha, the info bar calls him: The mystery man, Braig!
• This time our fight with Braig feels more like the fight with Xigbar in KH2 though Braig doesn’t have as many special attacks as he does when he faces Aqua or as many when he’s Xigbar.
• It looks like Terra’s gonna kill Braig…
• OH SHIT! Terra fires some darkness at him!
• OH
• MY
• GOD!
• Terra shoots him right in the… EYE! The right eye! Where he has a scar! And an eyepatch… AND HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THIS?! He’s got a nasty… darkness mark on his face too OH GOD! Terra is the reason why Braig/Xigbar’s face is so messed up!
• Terra then shoots a bit of darkness up at Xehanort and breaks the chain.
• More than a little freaked, Braig bounces away.
• Terra’s shocked and even though Xehanort is congratulating him… His voice starts to shake when he explains how angry he was.
• Xehanort is like “But you channeled it!” and Terra is like “No, I gave in, just like when I stole Princess Aurora’s heart.”
• D: He can’t return home now because he’s a failure.
• But Master Xehanort offers to become his master saying that Master Eraqus is so afraid of the darkness that he has succumb to… light? So much so that he’s forgotten that because there’s light there’s darkness.
• Oh gross, now he’s saying Aqua and Ventus’ light shines too bright too.
• Yuck, Xehanort is playing into all of Terra’s fears and is saying things that would make Terra feel better about what he’s just done. Xehanort talks about how darkness and light is a balance that must be maintained that that Aqua and Ven’s light only make his heart darker? And that Terra is really the one who should be a Keyblade Master.
• YUCK! He even goes so far as to say that Master Eraqus is afraid of Terra and that he should join Xehanort and… GRABS HIS HAND AND EVERYTHING! That together they’d do the Worlds more good by using the powers of light and darkness.
• Terra doesn’t look too sure though so Xehanort counters that Terra should see more Worlds and defeat the darkness there that threatens to upset the balance. And that he should find Vanitas and “put an end to him.”
• …Then he calls Terra Master Terra.
• God what a slimeball.
• And Terra buys into it? GROSS!
• Terra you’ve lost some major points.
• Here comes Ven! Oh jeez I’m actually kinda afraid.
• He’s all smiley and puppy-dog like and asks Terra to take him with but of course he says no. When Ven asks why not… he actually has a kinda nice thing to say: When I really need you, Ven, I know you’ll be there.
• Ven buys it, of course he does, and says of course he’d be there, seeing as how they’re friends.
• For a moment I thought Terra was making a face like “Oh gross I hate this guy” but then he smiles and thanks Ven.
• Off Terra goes on his scooter.
• BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE!
• Master Xehanort is still in Radiant Garden where we had the fight with Braig and… BRAIG’S BACK!
• Lol! He’s shooting at Xehanort and calling him an “old coot” but the bullets are bouncing off a barrier. But then…
• Braig says that Xehanort had said that he wouldn’t get hurt. INTRIGUE! And that he “didn’t sign up to be collateral damage.” The damage being to his FACE (which is wrapped up in bandages).
• Hur hur hur! Braig puts one of his guns to Xehanort’s head and Xehanort counters with putting his keyblade up against Braig’s throat, making him wobble back.
• Oh god, this is why I love Braig!
• “You still need me! You still need me to do something, right?”
• Oh a bargain? What did Xehanort promise him? A keyblade?
• Seriously, I’m going to marry Braig. He’s just happy he didn’t get his heart stolen like “Princess What’s-her-Name” because “that would’ve ruined his week.”
• Wait what?
• Xehanort says that Terra still has too much light in him; he’d never be able to steal somebody’s heart. Braig is confused but Xehanort doesn’t elaborate, only smirks.
• And now we’re done!
