| - *A fire erupts, cooking the bacon to perfection*
- *Can-cans into the sunset*
- *Ominous chanting echoes throughout the room*
- *Sacred moon begins playing*
- *Chainoffire and FinalRest float down to the ground, resting their feet upon a bacon laden ground*
- In releasing four issues each year we hope to create an encouraging, fun spotlight on our joint community. And isn't that an awesome reason for this magazine to exist?
- Because we can!
- Chainoffire: What question?
- FinalRest: I agree. Kingdom Hearts is life.
- Second, it's a way to reach out to all our editors from staff to newbies and bring them together. We also hope to grab the attention of passers-by and encourage them to sign up and get involved in our communities. We hope showcasing several of the amazing things both the series and our wikis are made up of will entice readers to pitch in and help our sites flourish and grow.
- *Keyblades appear in Chainoffire and FinalRest's hands. They shoot magic beams at the Kingdom Hearts games, until only 42 copies remain. One game for
every piece of bacon*
- First, it's a great way to showcase all the amazing things our editors are capable of. Whether it's showcasing their artwork, their opinions or the simple fact that they are part of what makes our two sites tick, it's amazing to have a place where our editors are given pride of place.
- FinalRest: So, yes, Chainoffire and I are able to turn sea monsters into copies of Kingdom Hearts. Wait, what was the question again?
- Voices: KINGDOM HEARTS. KINGDOM HEARTS. KINGDOM HEARTS.
- The third, most simple reason for making this magazine is fun. We have fun planning it. We have fun writing it. We have fun posting it. We'll have fun seeing what people think.
- *FinalRest turns around and her eyes are spinning heart symbols*
- *Chainoffire and FinalRest start floating in the sky, bacon raining down from the heavens*
- *Suddenly, a sea monster tears out of the ocean and runs towards Chainoffire and FinalRest*
- *Fireworks explode in the sky and can-can dancers pour into the streets, kicking their legs to the beat of a large crowd chanting "BECAUSE WE CAN!"*
- Really, though, this new magazine serves three purposes.
- *Chainoffire and FinalRest lift their hands, which let forth streams of burning energy. The sea monster explodes into a thousand copies of Kingdom Hearts*
- What happens with some series is that it starts to decline after a certain story line has finished. I hope this doesn't happen with Kingdom Hearts. But knowing Tetsuya Nomura, I think that we won’t be disappointed. I choose to remain optimistic and wish for the best. I mean, we'll still have Sora as our protagonist, we just won't have Xehanort. I wonder who the next enemy will be...
- Chainoffire: 42. And bacon. And hakuna matata. Also, KINGDOM HEARTS!!!!!!
- *The 1000 Kingdom Hearts games spin in a circle around Chainoffire and FinalRest*

- #Disguising Links: Maybe you need to link to an article that has an awkward title and you don't want to make your own page look unattractive. We can fix that problem by disguising links. This can be done by adding a vertical bar '''
- Everyone knows that sandwiching a word with square brackets turns it into a link, a Wiki's main method of connecting pages together. However, there are some extra bits that can be added into links to manipulate or alter them. This tutorial explains three special methods.

| - Another Guardian of Light is the secret ending for Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance so this review is bound to contain spoilers. The nearly-four minute video effectively sets up for Kingdom Hearts III, so let's take a look.
center
The video starts with a few cryptic scenes with Xehanort in his youth, followed by Aqua in the Dark Margin, and continues onto a conversation between Donald and Goofy before concluding with a meeting between King Mickey and Yen Sid. Before we continue, why not take a look at the full ending below?
For me, the secret ending's main weakness is the fact that it consists entirely of dialogue. Although this helps build the tension for the revelation at the end, it makes Another Guardian of Light pale in comparison to the pizazz of previous secret endings, such as The Gathering.
However, the ending slightly redeems itself by leading on a strong plot. While the Xehanort scene seems to be there purely to start fan discussions among the Kingdom Hearts theorists, the conversation between Donald and Goofy neatly ties a few loose ends with the mention of Lea's return to Radiant Garden. The "meat" of the ending is the counsel with Yen Sid and it delivers a satisfying introduction to the intriguing concepts of the "Seven Guardians of Light" and "Thirteen Darknesses" . The climax of the scene is the revelation that Kairi could wield the Keyblade, a topic that many had theorised beforehand.
center
Final Opinion: Another Guardian of Light doesn't live up to previous secret endings but it introduces intriguing story concepts and, at the very least, sets up for Kingdom Hearts III.

- Why are we here? What is the meaning to life?
- Why is the Kingdom Hearts Wiki doing a magazine?

markofmasteryexaminterview
| - What, Chainoffire, is your favourite ice cream flavour?'''
Cof: Ummm....
- '''FR: *Punches Chainoffire on the nose*
- *Sounds of an airport in the background*
- *Starts packing bags*
- *FR runs away frantically*'
center
For more information on Chainoffire, visit his userpage or head to the wiki doctor's office, where he can be found nursing a bruised nose five days of the week. FinalRest can also be found on her userpage or in America, where she has recently moved in search of the allusive "cookie dough ice-cream". Last we heard, she was in Alaska. She has not been seen for three weeks. We are all very concerned.''
- I have to go now... to catch my flight.
- It's been fun talking to you!
- Now the nose punches are magazine canon. Good job.
- Well, I would love him to go TO Kingdom Hearts. Maybe have the final battle there? That would be awesome!
FR: Now let's get to know a little bit more about you with a quick-fire round! Quick questions = quick answers. Are you ready?
Cof: Haha, okay.
FR: Favourite Kingdom Hearts character?
Cof: Axel. Got it memorized?
FR: You do anime reviews over on the Keyhole, so... favorite anime?
Cof: Fate/Zero
left|160px
FR: Favourite thing to do on the wiki?
Cof: Edit. Vote on the Underdrome. Tell people what to do. Image related work.
FR: How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?
Cof: *Punches FR in the nose*
- Peter Piper picked as many pickled peppers as peter piper could pick. Which was 42.
'''FR: *Rubs nose*
- Least favourite Keyblade?
Cof: Sweet Memories. Completely useless.
100px|right
FR: And, to close things off, let's ask the question all our readers are dying to hear:
- So, Chain, over on the Keyhole you're an admin. That's a lot of responsibility, mister! Any tips for new editors that hope to achieve adminship one day?
200px|left
Cof: A certain song by Journey comes to mind... but try your hardest and don't be afraid to make mistakes. If someone cuts you down, keep going anyways and show them that you can do it! Also, make friends and brown nose the higher-ups.
FR: Great, guess what song is stuck in my head right now?
- The youngest member of the Keyhole staff, Chainoffire has been active for three years, starting his editing career shortly before the beginning of the merge. FinalRest sat down with him to talk about the important things, such as Keyblades, editing and ice cream.
center
FinalRest: So, you're the editor of this lovely publication, aren't you? How has the experience of creating our very first issue been?
Chainoffire: The experience? It was kinda fun. I don't get the chance to be in charge of many important things like this. Excluding the Underdrome [the Keyhole's weekly arena], image projects, being an admin at the Keyhole... Okay, maybe I do get the chance to be in charge a bit, but this felt... different somehow. But I can't quite call myself "the editor" because the magazine is made up of many editors. Many who did more work than me. I look forward to our future issues!
FR: You were also involved in the recording of our podcast! How was that?
Cof: That was fun as well! Those three [Erry, UnknownChaser and Neumannz] are a great bunch to work with. Even when we had experienced some techy difficulties, it didn't stop us!
FR: Technical difficulties? What happened?
Cof: Well, Neumannz was having trouble with audacity, and his audio stopped recording half way through the podcast. Then some of us had trouble saving our work. But it's all good!
'''FR: Ah, I suppose a few teething problems are expected. Glad it all worked out though! The podcast is over on page 9 and is a must see... or hear, if you prefer the audio version.
- The correct answer is sea salt. But in reality I enjoy a nice bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough.
FR: Okay, right now I'm extremely jealous that we don't have that flavour in my country.
Cof: WHAT!?!? SERIOUSLY!?! YOU ARE COMING TO AMERICA. JUST TO EAT ICE CREAM.
FR: I think it'd be worth it!
Cof: DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!
'''FR: So thanks for the interview, Chain!
- So what about worlds? Are there any new areas you'd love to see Sora run through?'''
Cof: *Rubs nose*
- Of course, Kingdom Hearts is why we're all here, so let's talk about that. Over on page 13 is our Flick Rush page, on which we've got a poll asking readers to vote for their favourite game in the series. What game will you be voting for and why?
Cof: If the final mixes were an option, it would definitely be Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, but since the closest would be Kingdom Hearts II, my vote goes towards that one. It introduced the organization and gave them really fun battles. Plus, it gave you Axel!! Some of my favorite non-ORGXIII battles are in that game too, so that's where my vote is going!
FR: Speaking of new character additions, in the Kingdom Hearts fandom there's always room to dream about the surprise characters you'd like to see in future instalments of the series. So, if you could make absolutely any character, Disney/Enix or not, debut in Kingdom Hearts III, who would you choose and why?
Cof: Ooo, good question. I've never had this question presented to me before, so I'm not really sure about my answer, haha. Hmmm... I would like to see Balthier in Kingdom Hearts. I loved him in Final Fantasy XII, but then he would have to have Fran with him too, so I am cheating a bit. Or maybe Sazh [from Final Fantasy XIII]. Either one would do!
right|350px
FR: Three choices? And Sazh would have to have Chocobo Chick, so that makes a grand total of four characters. Did you just cheat on the interview?'''
Cof: *Chainoffire puts on sunglasses* Yup.

| - The Kingdom Hearts series has had time to experiment with many systems of gameplay throughout its seven, main instalments. This list shows my personal favourites.
200px|thumb|right|Click to see flowmotion in action!
#File:Bbs movement.png Flowmotion: Introduced in the most recent Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, Flowmotion indulges players with the freedom of locomotion and thrill of motion attacks. After soaring the landscape with Flowmotion, I began to look at walking pedestrians with pity.
#10px Dark Mode: Most disliked Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories slow-paced card system, which made Dark Mode all the more refreshing. Not only did Dark Mode have powerful attacks, the increased mobility allowed players to break the mundane routine that battles could become. What's more, Dark Mode was a balanced system that didn't ruin the game's difficulty, like Drive Forms did.
#10px Drive Forms: In my opinion, Kingdom Hearts II's combat isn't the most challenging. But with Drive Forms that doesn't matter, since the stylish costumes and Keyblade flair are enough to forgive any OPed aspects
#File:Icon attack.png Deck Command: With three games implementing them, Deck Commands have been well-established in the series. Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded had their twists, but the initial Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep system remains the best, adding the deep strategy and precision that prevented the game from becoming a button masher.
#File:Slot Releaser.png Panel System: Although it wasn't implemented perfectly, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days panels were certainly innovative to say the least. They were an interesting spin on existing RPG elements and formed a subtle mini-game that required you to slot the panels together like a jig-saw puzzle.
