58/2 DAYS: A LOOK AT THE MYSTERIOUS 14TH MEMBER

This a very dramatic scene from the 358/2 Days trailer. Riku and the 14th member confront one another outside the Beast's Castle. It appears they have just battle, and that the 14th has lost. The 14th collapses in pain, she is holding the Kingdom Key.
Riku closes in on her and lifts her hood, she resists.
He lifts one eye of the blindfold to see her face.
Riku's expression changes to that of surprise.
Riku: "Who are you? Why do you have the keyblade?"
14th: "Why are you dressed like a member of the Organization?"



Their conversation continues in these screens. So many mysteries surround the 14th member. Riku walks away from her, towards the castle. Riku: "So no one interferes with Sora's sleep."
Her keyblade is sticking out of the ground.
Riku picks it up and hurls it toward her.
Riku: "What you have... That keyblade must be a fake."
14th: "Don't tell me that! You're deceiving too!"
Riku: "Indeed, maybe I'm the one who doesn't exist."





The 14th member is also shown fighting with Axel. It seems though Xemnas may have welcomed her warmly, she is having trouble in the Organization. In front of the Twilight Town mansion.
Axel: "You're gotta be kidding! Don't make a fool out of me."
The 14th member turns to yell at Axel.
Appearing in his hands are his chakrams covered in fire.
Axel and the 14th are confronting one another.
Axel: "I've decided. No matter how many times you escape, I will bring you back."



The first screen shows another image of Namine talking to DiZ about Sora's memories. Namine: "Regardless of how I assemble the memories, they begin to flow out... If another memory is connected, it can't return to it's original source.
In the second screen, Namine awaits the 14th's arrival inside the white room of Twilight Town mansion. It is the last scene in the trailer. It cuts off with the 14th member removing her hood, so her face is not seen.
The 14th comes to Namine's side.
Namine: "I wanted to meet you, Xion."

Has anybody been watching that kinda new show that comes on CartoonNetwork [adult swim] now? I believe it aired after Death Note had its finale. It's called Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. It's actually kinda cool and so is the main character.
:inlove:

Who do you guys think would make good voice actors for the new characters in Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep or Re: Chain of Memories characters from the Organization XIII( If it was to come to the US)?

Hi kinda new, but I thought I'd start a topic and get to know some people. I might be kinda late on this, but did anyone hear about that new Death Note Live-Action movie. It's coming to stores on DVD Sept. 16(ugh that's too long) It's like the entire show squeezed into a movie with live actors. I looks really cool. And It's going to come to the the US with english dubs. How awesome is that. From the trailers I've seen, It sounds like it's the same voice actors from the actual show. =) Sorry.... I'm just so siked that they're makin a Death Note movie. Does anyone else mabey have any cool info?
