Points to note (KH - A World Without Sky):

1. As I wrote the story before Re:Mind was announced, the events of the DLC do not take place in this story. This story is simply meant to explain the original secret ending (how & why has only Riku gone to rescue Sora?).

2. The events of this comic take place over several months.

3. Sora saved Kairi in a manner similar to how he saved the others from the Lich during KH3. However, given his power, Exdeath appeared before him to prevent him interfering with the Lich.

4. The battle against the Arch Mage takes place at night. He has cast illusory magic to make it seem like day-time.

5. The events of 4 black & white pages (those featuring Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Riku, Namine, Lea, Xion, Roxas, Terra, Aqua & Ven) occur during Kairi's adventure. The page featuring Sora & Kairi occurs before the events of the comic (showing how he rescued Kairi). The page featuring Kairi, Namine, Isa, Lea, Roxas & Xion occurs during the period where Riku goes to rescue Sora.

6. The Cloud of Darkness was referring to several different things: (a) imbalance between light & darkness due to the defeat of the Xehanorts & Organization XIII (b) Kairi being alive when she is supposed to be dead - thanks to Sora (c) The return of the Foretellers - due to Luxu's actions

7. By becoming full-fledged ninja, Kairi, Namine & Isa unlocked the Ninja Class. The Ninja Class functions similarly to Drive Forms/Command Styles. It grants increased speed & the ability to leave behind after-images (similar to Ghost Drive), but decreases defense.

(i ended up voicing over some of Yensid's lines due to a miscommunication)
