29. Black Powder - The Final Union (Project Destati: DARKNESS)

This thundrous battle anthem of Birth by Sleep first appeared during initial confrontation between Terra and sharpshooter Braig, possibly thereby earning its interesting title. However, more importantly, it closes Terra's character arc with a showdown between him and Master Xehanort. In our final collaboration with the Youngstown Scoring Stage, we pull out all the stops to take you through Terra's final moments in his valiant but ultimately doomed journey.
Opening with a hint of "The Key of Darkness" and moving swiftly into battle shortly thereafter, you'll hear that Terra's thoughts never stray far from his friends as their themes dance with his in a "Fate of the Unknown" interlude. The fight ends with both sides exhausted, until "The Key of Darkness" bursts forth in its completed form, aligned with Xehanort's planned manipulation and possession of Terra. This may be the end of a battle, but it's only the beginning of the war...

I really wish the KH3 final boss theme did something like this. It makes much more thematic sense - starting with the X-Blade theme and then going into, you know, the music that actually plays when you fight Master Xehanort in BBS. The new themes with rage awakened were good, but not very thoughtful in tying back to the series.

You thought Braig was some random idiot going along with Xehanort's crazy sounding "yeah so I'm going to force my Heart into that Terra guy after he succumbs to darkness lolol" plan, but then it turns out...

I already like the BBS trio a lot, but you really made me appreciate them even more, especially Terra. I realized how tragic his story was, and hearing all those themes fighting together is simply gorgeous and very emotionnal. You make me glad to be part of the KH community. Thanks, Project Destati !

[@repetaki]

a song... representing the fact that you have already lost. whether or not you beat the boss, you're not getting a happy ending, make this a powerful song in the final moments of BBS

Rest in peace, Mr. Nimoy.

-My friend, Ven... you tell me Xehanort, what did you do to him?

[@RondoOfBloodX]
