"Marluxia: (smirking) Hmph. Nothing to be feared. So, Roxas, shall we put that power of yours to a little test? Use your Keyblade...and defeat those Heartless."

"(After Roxas defeats them)"

"Marluxia: Good. Those Heartless were called Shadows."

"Roxas: But what are Heartless?"

"Marluxia: Dark creatures who roam about, searching for hearts. They come in two larger varieties. The ones you just defeated are known as Purebloods. Purebloods don't release any hearts when you defeat them. In other words, don't bother with them. Your mission is to collect hearts, after all. The other variety-"

"(More Heartless appear)"

"Marluxia: (smirking) Hmph...is right over there. Forget about the Shadows. (turns to Roxas) Take these out, Roxas. They are your real targets."

"(After Roxas defeated them)"

"Marluxia: Those were what we call Emblem Heartless."

"Roxas: Why are they so special?"

"Marluxia: Did you notice? Hearts appeared when you defeated them."

"Roxas: Right..."

"Marluxia: Your job is to collect those hearts."

"Roxas: Is there any trick to it?"

"Marluxia: None. So long as the Heartless are felled by your weapon, the Keyblade, the hearts will be captured."

"Roxas: I see. And what happens to the hearts I collect?"

"Marluxia: They will gather as one, and create an almighty force known as Kingdom Hearts."

"Roxas: Which is...good, right?"

"Marluxia: Completing Kingdom Hearts is the Organization's primary objective. And to do that, we need all the hearts we can possibly find."

"Genya Arikado: They want to resurrect the lord of darkness. Like some sought to do with Dracula. Soma Cruz: I guess they don't like the fact that I didn't become the "lord of darkness". Arikado: Not only that, they intend to create a new lord by eliminating you."

"Soma Cruz: Then that means there will always be a need for a dark lord. All because I ducked out from becoming the next in line! Genya Arikado: Don't misconstrue me! Perhaps there is a need for the dark lord...But there is no reason at all for you to become the dark lord. Soma: But if it weren't for me, none of this would have happened! Arikado: You're neither a god nor a demon. You're only human. You have no chance at ever achieving perfection. Or are you saying you want to be the dark lord? Soma: No...Of course not."

"Soma Cruz: So those two are the dark lord's candidates... Celia Fortner: Correct. They were born at the same time as Dracula's demise. They are inheritors of Dracula's dark powers. Soma: But that's no guarantee that they can become the dark lord. Celia: They can. By shattering Dracula's soul."
