Hot Dog!

years ago i had an idea of what might've happened if kairi wound up in twilight town instead of destiny island and grew up with hayner, pence, and olette.

and while pence is the guy who wanted to investigate the mysteries of the town in canon, hayner has some pretty out-there ideas too. like trying to flying kick ansem sod. olette's the one with the braincell of them.

After all, light begets darkness, and darkness is drawn to light.

The only time we've seen Xion use the power of darkness was in her boss fight in Days, after she starts looking like Sora. Her dark strength came from her refusal to become him, only to be unleashed anyway when she no longer had a choice.

When Riku released his own darkness in Days, he took the form of the man who violated his body and soul. In the process of resisting Ansem in KH1 and CoM, he was already forced to reckon with the traits they share. Then Roxas was so strong, and Riku's morality in taking him down so dubious, that Riku has to carve that reckoning into his BODY to win. This mf makes me sick!!

One more for blorbo though because TERRA. You have to understand, you can't just possess any old heart. There has to be a resonance. Terra's darkness was full of his fear of hurting his friends and losing the meaning for his strength.
