  Once known as Hollow Bastion, Radiant Garden is the hometown of many of the characters from Final Fantasy who had their home-worlds destroyed. This world features a destroyed castle at it's middle, and shares the world with a smaller town. This planet serves as the unofficial home-base for the Keybladers and contains many places for them to explore.
In the town of Radiant Garden there is the local marketplace which has the Moogle shop. There are also a fair amount of other shops that sell weapons, armor, accessories, and items.
Just past the Marketplace is the Borough which is where many of the worlds residence live. Merlins house is also in this area as well as the book that leads to the 100 Acre Woods.
The Bailey gives a good look of the Villain's Vale. The Bailey is a broken mess for the most part, allowing access to the Castles Gate and also allows access to the Restoration Site.
The Restoration Site houses all the equipment to aide in the restoring of Radiant Garden and if you move past all of that grants access to the Castle Hollow Bastion.

O Other Locations  This world is entered through a book in Merlin's house which is located in the Borough in Radiant Garden. This world is like a large forest and it's inhabitants appear to be animated stuffed animals. The only way to get the entirety of this world to be available is to collect the missing pages that are scattered all over the many worlds. Located in this world are the many houses of those who live within, most notably, Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga, Rabbit, Owl, and Eyeor. Also here is the Spooky Cave and Starry Hill.

O   This is a world located inside the computer of Ansem the Wise of Radiant Garden. The world is completely digitalized as it is a computer program so the inhabitants of this world are also computer programs. Located in this world is the I/O Tower, and within the I/O Tower is the Communications room which can be found at the end of the Hallway. Opposite this room is the Simulation Hanger where the Solar Sailer Simulation is housed. Riding this Simulation takes you to Central Computer Mesa which then leads to the Central Computer Core which is the center of this world.
Also in this world is the Dataspace, located just beyond the Canyon. On the down side there is the Pit Cell, the jail for this world that most will find themselves the first time they enter the world.
Outfit Change: Clothing becomes digitalized and depending on alignment gains either blue, red, or white detailing.

The day was slow, considering all that was now going on in the universe. The brunette man made his way through the marketplace, passing by the shops and familiar faces that came from living in this place for as long as he did. Still, he couldn't get the thoughts of battle out of his mind. He could recall the fight with Chaos, and winning the battle in the name of light. He thought he would never have to face such a foe again, but now... He was back. This cause Squall much grief since the news reached him, and while he has hidden it well, the evidence showed through every now and then. Like now, his normally stern eyes showed worry instead of their normal mask. After he found out about the return of Chaos, the man once known as Leon took back his name and even dug out his old clothing. So now a different Leon wandered around Radiant Garden, and while there were still a few Keybladers that called him Leon, he was now Squall until Chaos was gone.
Turning down the side streets he began the walk back to the Borough and to his house where he had taken up residence at the moment. However before he could reach his home the phone in his pocket began to ring, and though he didn't answer at first he finally sighed and pulled it out, flipped it open and read through the text he had been sent. It was from one of the Keybladers, and it sounded important. Reading over it again to get all the information he closed the text and began to dial...
~Edit: Add On~
Hanging up with the keybalder, Squall made his way to where he said they would meet. He didn't wish to go inside the magicians house, so instead found a flat piece of wall with no windows and leaned against that, crossing his arms over his chest and bowing his head as he waited for the Keyblader to show.

After a few minutes Dinidan arrived above Radiant Garden. Carefully cutting the thread he finished up the stitch and went back to the bridge to set the ship down. He brought it down in an open area near the Borough and shut it down. Putting his backpack on and his coat on over it Dinidan stepped out of his ship and made his way towards Merlin's.
EDIT: I got to proof read my own posts sweatdrop

Despite his relaxed appearance he was quite aware of everything that was going on, and had even heard the steps of Dinidan approaching him. Looking up, Squall scanned him quickly with his grey eyes and push off from against the wall to greet him. He didn't seem to injured if at all, so the battle couldn't have been as bad as he was led to believe.
"Hello Dinidan. Glad you could make it."
He started, though he didn't move from his spot to greet the Keybalder. Instead he stood next to the bit of wall he had been leaning against until they needed to move to a new location.
"So, tell me about you fight."
He stated, or more like ordered, but he would never admit it. Instead he waited quietly for Dinidan to fill in the details of the fight.

"Sorry to keep you waiting Squall, I had to repair my coat" he said as he finished walking up to stand next to where Squall waited. "I was minding my own business when I noticed someone was tailing me. I got on the tram to confirm it and things went downhill from there. We fought fiercely, but I made sure no one else got hurt." Dinidan rubbed his arm where he had been cut."Anyway I've got it all on video." Dinidan said, pointing at his eyepiece. "So we should get to somewhere we can view it." he finished, gesturing toward Merlin's house.

Squall seemed to nod as Dinidan explained what happened, though he didn't say anything about it to begin with. Watching him Squall noticed the gesture toward the injury on his arm, and seemed to frown more, if that was possible. Turning his head slightly he looked back to Merlins house and sighed. He didn't want to go inside, but from what he heard, everyone was out anyway. Nodding more defiantly he moved to the door and opened it, holding it open for Dinidan to enter before entering himself.
Once inside he pulled the door closed and headed for Cids computer. Despite the fact he hardly let anyone else use it, Squall had become familiar with how it worked and was able to use it well enough to at least view the video the Keyblader had. Sitting in the chair he got the computer running and even brought up the correct program.
"Set it up."
He said, pointing to the gadget Cid had installed to allow them to view videos from devices like Dinidans. Sitting still he looked over to Dinidans arm and paused.
"How bad was your injury?"
He asked suddenly.

Dinidan had just started reaching for his eyepiece when he heard the question, and it caused him to pause for just a second. He finished taking it off and plugged it in before he answered. Turning to Squall he stared him in the eyes for a moment before answering. Looking away he finally spoke, "I should be dead..." he said quietly, looking back to Squall. "I lost, and she could have finished me, but she didn't."

He didn't even look at the eyepiece that Dinidan took off. Instead he stared right back at him.
"Count yourself lucky. Take your loss and learn from it. And next time, don't let it happen again."
He stated, the obviousness of his mercenary training shining through for a brief second with those words. Looking back to his arm again he paused, letting the quiet fill the room. At the moment the video wasn't hugely important.
"Let me see your injury."
He asked, this time trying not to be so commanding with his words.

At that moment Dinidan laughed, remembering hearing the same words years ago during his training. "Your not the first to tell me that you know." He said pulling up his sleeve revealing a wide, fresh scar where he had been cut. "It's more a memory of an injury now, but I can still feel it, like the blade never left" he moved forward to allow Squall to see the scar better. "But I guess that's what I get for stopping a blow like that with only my bangle for protection." he said sarcastically.

He didn't want to touch his arm, but instead leaned forward slightly to look at it better. It would heal fine, so it was nothing to worry about. At least he was fine for the most part. Sitting back in Cid's chair he turned back to the screen and pressed the button to get the video to play forward. It was time to see just what had happened.

Dinidan watched the video in silence. He had seen it before and didn't want to distract Squall. He did much the same as before, remembering each moment as it played. He had chosen to start from just before the fight began, when he had first spoken to the elf on the tram. He remembered how angry she had been when he had made a joke about where he kept his heart, and how that anger had carried her throughout the fight. He cringed inwardly as he watched himself fall off the roof again, knowing it had been a stupid mistake. He payed special attention when she mentioned she had been built for battle, wondering exactly what she had meant. He hadn't noticed it during the fight, but he noticed this time how she had shuddered when he questioned her purpose. He continued to think on the as the video played through, showing his struggle with the elf and how he had temporarily gained an advantage with a channeled Thunder spell and blow to her chest, only to pass out from loss of blood and pain. Although the video was of the road her words were caught by the speaker nonetheless "I don't think we're finished here, just yet.". After it was over Dinidan waited for Squall to speak, he was interested in what he would say.
