Birth by Sleep - Terra - "Boy", "Steal", "Light"

So off we go to Neverland, the final world before SHIT starts to REALLY go down. Will Terra once again fall into the clutches of questionable characters? Probably. Is it just me or is Terra too trusting? Too gullible? I mean he's fallen for Hade's plot, totally ignores Maleficent, and we can't forget about Master Xehanort. It's not like he's seeing the best in people he just doesn't question whatever situation he's in. Which is one way is admirable because he gets shit done but on the other hand... it's really stupid.

  • So we land in Neverland and hear a scream, best go investigate!
  • It’s Captain Hook and Smee surrounded by Unversed… We aren’t going to save them, are we?
  • We are.
  • Hook seems pissed though. Apparently Hook thinks Terra helped them so he’d get a share of the treasure. Terra, however, says he’s “not after your precious box, captain.” Always so passive aggressive, this Terra.
  • Apparently Terra’s looking for Vanitas. Still?
  • But Hook hasn’t seen anybody like that.
  • Hook is all like “Let’s book it before they come back looking for the light.” And Terra has a ‘Wait whut?!’ moment for the 50388673th time in this game. Hook smirks, UH OH!
  • Hook (who we can assume is lying) says the treasure chest “contains light gathered from all around.” And a boy is going to try to steal it. Peter?
  • Lols, Terra only hears “boy”, "steal" and “light”. So if it’s not Vanitas then who is it?
  • IT’S PETER, DUR! Obviously Hook is trying to trick Terra into attacking Peter.
  • Aaaand Terra falls for it. Hook, line and sinker.
  • Terra offers to help protect the chest and in return Hook will tell him more about the boy.
  • Yeap, when Terra asks for the boy’s name Hook tells him right away that it’s “Peter Pan!”
  • Terra… isn’t the brightest World in the sky. The… bluntest keyblade in the graveyard? The… I’ll come up with more later.
  • Apparently Hooks going to make Terra drag the treasure chest over to Skull Rock. Lovely, nothing like an escort mission to brighten up my night.
  • So it isn’t an escort mission so huzzah!
  • After making it to Skull Rock Hook congratulates us for bringing the chest over safely.
  • Smee speaks up about… a shooting star? But Hook tells him to stop talking about it. Okay…? Random thing to bring up…
  • Oh wait, Smee’s not done. He says the shooting star kept sparkling after it crashed down so he thinks it might be a gemstone.
  • Let me guess… we’re going to have to find this shooting star?
  • Nope! Hook and Smee are going off to find the shooting star and leaving Terra in charge of the treasure. Terra says he’ll be waiting for Peter Pan.
  • DUN DUN DUUUN!
  • Look here’s Peter and the Lost Boy, wonder what they’ll do.
  • Assuming Terra is a new flunky Peter decides to fly down and distract him while the boys take the treasure.
  • So in Peter flies and Terra’s all like “I WON’T LET YOU TAKE THE LIGHT!”
  • So… we’re fighting?
  • Well not really, the fight lasts all of thirty seconds before Peter is distracted by the boys carrying away the treasure.
  • Terra is about to chase after them when the chest tips and gold doubloons fall out and Terra realizes he’s been tricked. After realizing this he says sorry to Peter.
  • Peter asks Terra where Hook ran off to and Terra tells him about the shooting star and Peter gets upset because… Tinker Bell is in danger?
  • Okay so Peter flies off and leaves the boys behind to guard the treasure.
  • Terra says he should go but I get the sneaky suspicion this isn’t over yet.

  • D-link with Peter!
  • Terra leaves the cave but goes running back in when he hears the boys yelling about monsters.
  • So there’s some Unversed and they seem really interested in the treasure, odd.
  • After killing the Unversed the boys praise Terra for his excellent fight abilities and then… HOOK!
  • Hook’s back and Terra tells the boys to hide and it looks like he’s going to act his way through this one folks.
  • Uh oh, Hook’s caught Tinker Bell!
  • Terra asks to see her and… Hook actually hand her over!
  • While Hook monologues Terra frees Tink who then promptly kicks Hook in the face.
  • When Hook asks Terra why he set her free he says it’s simply what his heart told him to do, which in Hook’s opinion is mutiny, so now Terra is going to have to walk the plank.
  • Or… we’ll fight Hook?
  • But wait, our friend the crocodile is here!
  • So Hook runs for his life and Tink sprays some pixie dust on Terra.
  • Oh hey a flashback!
  • It’s back when all three of them are together on top of the mountain looking at the stars and Terra tells them that every star is a World.
  • Hmmm Terra says something (which I said was OMINOUS in Aqua’s review) about how the star’s light comes from the World’s heart and that they’re just like Ven. Ven doesn’t get it but Terra says he’ll understand one day.
  • Back in Neverland the boys are lamenting the treasure being gone but Terra steps in and ask them if they really wanted it that badly. The boys say that they didn’t really want the treasure but that Peter was counting on them to protect it. Terra suggests they “put the stuff that’s really special to you in there."
  • The boys like the idea and march away with the treasure chest.
  • Terra wonders what he’d put in there. Ummm I don’t think Aqua would fit but Ven might!
  • New keyblade!
