How do you think Aqua will escape?

Like what I've said earlier, I IMMEDIATELY remembered that Riku and Xehanort can use dark corridors. But here's a problem. Riku can only use the dark corridors because he either transformed into Ansem or because of the Black Coat. Because he's now in his original appearance and he's not using the Black Coat, it's too risky for him and Mickey (He wears a black coat in KHII) to use the dark corridors unless they want their heart to be consumed in darkness. :P Same thing with Lea, though he might keep the Black Coat for future use, because have we seen Lea in a different attire in DDD? And Master Xehanort isn't an ally to Sora and the others, same with his heartless and nobody, so count them out as candidates for saving Aqua as well. So either Lea or Sora would be able to save her. I don't know about Sora though, since he doesn't have a Black Coat.

Well thinking back, didn't Nomura or maybe even one of the Xehanorts (can't remember which) say that Riku had gained a certain immunity to the darkness? So wouldn't he still be able to go through?

Possibly because a small part of Ansem is still in him. Although it might be possible for him to rescue Aqua from the Realm of Darkness.

I had no idea that the coast in the realm of darkness had a name before reading this thread lol

According to "The Keyhole" wiki

The Dark Margin (referred to by Tetsuya Nomura as the Dark Coastline) is a mysterious place in Kingdom Hearts. It is first seen in the "Another side, Another story [deep dive]" FMV.
In Kingdom Hearts II and in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Roxas converses with Xemnas at the Dark Margin. He talks to Roxas, telling him how much he looks like Sora.
It reappears in the end of Kingdom Hearts II. After defeating Xemnas, Riku and Sora end up at the Dark Margin. Suddenly, after Sora reads a letter from Kairi, a door appears, leading them to Destiny Islands.
According to Another Report, Nomura states that the Dark Margin is "the tip of a world", i.e. the boundary between Darkness and In Between. Sora and Riku were on the coast of the side of In Between, and were looking over the sea in the Realm of Darkness. Having said this, the Door to Light which appeared in the ending scene is reminiscent of a theme which recurs in the Kingdom Hearts series: "No matter how deep the Darkness, a light shines within".

And some additional info i find funny/interesting (apparently joining the dark side gets you a tan lol)

Ironically, in the first Kingdom Hearts, after the face-off in Neverland, Riku's heart was significantly weakened as he carelessly used a Corridor of Darkness to return to Hollow Bastion. Nomura goes further to state that DiZ and the Beast can successfully use the Corridors of Darkness, and perhaps open them, due to their particularly strong feelings. Furthermore, despite Sora having used the Corridors of Darkness several times before, he has not used them frequently enough to allow the Darkness to stain his heart. The influential power of Darkness depends on the strength of a person's heart.
Anyone who has traveled in darkness for too long would show a few physical traits: their skin darkens and their eyes turn amber. This is especially true for Xehanort, the vessel that make his Thirteen Darknesses both have tan skin and amber eyes. In the case of Ansem the Wise as he only has amber eyes.
Maleficent is also believed to travel the Corridors, though she does not show the physical changes. This could be due to her trying to command the Darkness, instead of becoming one with it. It is also known that Pete travels the Corridors as well. He is known to be protected from the Darkness by Maleficent's magic.
The Black Coats worn by Riku, King Mickey, and Organization XIII are said to protect wearers from the effects of darkness, and from detection by those who use darkness. Thus, those who wear these coats can traverse Corridors of Darkness without suffering the negative effects.

But to reply to the main question. Sora has to do the dirty work, save everyone. KH III will be a big game, bringing back so many people and battle against ORG. XIII again...

I have no good answer to the question right now, but I remembered this and thought it pertinent.

I personally think Sora will rescue her along with Lea via dark corridors.
