Hello, InfernalFox here!
Ok the owner of this idea is didsomeonesayventus. I just asked permission to use it and do my own version. I'm only gonna say the disclaimer once people!
Disclaimer: I own my Imagination
And now, to the story
Goodbye
It was such a strong word.
One word, yet it was so hard to say it.
Sora didn't know if he was ready to say it.
He wasn't.
Yet he had to say it.
He was like that, thinking, while he was hugging Kairi, crying.
Riku was also there, patting him on the back.
It had come to this.
To stop the Second Keyblade War, they had traveled to the past and killed Xehanort while he was a child. It was cruel yes, but desperate times called for desperate measures.
Right now, they were on an endless gray void that reminded him of the Realm Of Nothingness, while the timeline restarted.
Sora stopped for a second and looked around. If it was his choice, he would stay there hugging Kairi forever, but he had to let go.
" I-I'm go-onna say g-goodbye to e-everyone e-else, Ok?" he asked sobbing.
They nodded, letting Sora go so they could say their own goodbyes.
He found the blonde boy with his twin. They were both talking quietly, muttering apologies.
Sora smiled sadly. The Nobody and The Light Fragment Of The X-blade hadn't liked each other at the start. But it looked as they were making amends now.
They looked at him.
" Sora?" Roxas asked. He was smiling sadly. It looked like he had accepted he was gonna cease to exist. He was relaxed.
" Roxas, I'm s-" he tried to say feebly.
Roxas cut him before he had a chance to say it.
"Don't be" Roxas said " It's not your fault"
But it was. He had been the one to murder the child in cold blood.
Before Sora had any chance to try to apologize, he was swiftly surrounded in a hug.
" I'm gonna say goodbye to Axel now ok?" then he whispered to him " And Sora, don't feel bad. You're the best Other I could have ever asked for"
And then he left me there alone with Ventus.
We both stood there quietly.
" So this is it?" he said sadly.
" I guess" Sora answered.
Before Ventus could say anything else, Sora said something that broke his heart.
" I'll miss you" Sora said. He looked like he was about to cry again,
Ventus immediately frowned. They couldn't leave on such a sad note.
" I'll miss you too" Ventus said and he sighted. He couldn't believe it would end like this. It wasn't fair! But it was the best for everyone.
" It feels empty without you in here" Sora said as he pointed as his heart.
Then he hugged Ven saying
" I'll miss you, big bro"
Ven didn't know what to say. But before he could think of something, Sora left.
Ventus just stood there flabbergasted. The 'big bro' nickname had started after everyone saw how he was treating Sora.
So he just said some words to the void.
" I'll miss you too, little bro"
Then he left to find Aqua and Terra. Which they were gonna be the only ones with a happy ending, it seemed.
Sora finally found Donald and Goofy.
He didn't know what to say.
He considered Donald and Goofy his parents. Heck they had been more supporting that his own family! Sora could still remember his mother's hurtful words and his father's disappointed stare as he informed the he wouldn't be going back to school.
He could still remember a day he got sick in the middle of their adventures. They wouldn't leave him alone for a second! He caught himself smiling fondly at these memories.
Then he stopped smiling when he realized that soon none of this would mattered. It would have never happened, anyways.
So when they turned around, he gave them the biggest hug he could give ( it was one that could rival the one he gave to Kairi)
He felt his eyes water and he couldn't hold it back anymore.
" I'm gonna miss you guys!" He said, sobbing.
he said crying desperately.
" Gosh Sora, we'll sure miss you too!" Goofy said.
" Don't cry. This ship runs on happy faces remember?" Donald said.
I smiled at hearing one of our mottos.
They were right. I had to keep myself together. I had to remind myself that we were just doing what was best for everyone.
" Yeah" Sora said as he cleared his tears " You are right. Thanks guys"
I took a deep breath. Again, I didn't know what to say. How do you express your gratitude for being there all those years in a few words?
Sora took a deep breath.
He let go and said it.
" Thanks a lot, guys"
There. He said it.
Now what?
" Guys! Come here! our time is running up!" Kairi yelled at them.
Without missing a beat, they all followed her.
Kairi stopped, and Sora looked around.
They were all there: Xion, Roxas, Axel ( Or was it Lea now? Sora could never get it right), Terra, Aqua, Ven, Kairi, Namine, Riku, King Mickey, Donald and Goofy.
"Guys…" Sora started " I guess this is goodbye, then"
" Yeah" Riku said softly " I guess it is"
" I can't believe it's all gonna end like this" Axel said.
" Yeah…" Roxas said softly, you could barely hear him " I can't believe it too"
Sora couldn't believe it too. All of his adventures… and it was all gonna end like this?
The void glowed around them.
Then he remembered something
" Guys! I just remembered something! There is something I want to share with you" Sora was searching through his pockets desperately. Where was it? Where was it?! Ahah! Jackpot!
He took out a Paopu Fruit out of his pocket.
Everyone looked confused
" Is that… a Paopu fruit?" Aqua asked.
" Yeah!" Sora said, smiling " we can all share it! that way, even if we forget, we will always be connected!"
They all smiled, understanding it.
With a bit of difficulty ( It looked as the restart was almost done, most of them couldn't use their Keyblades anymore) the Paopu Fruit was cut and everyone had a piece.
It seemed that, even in the uncertainty, there could be a little bit of hope.
They had all theorized what was gonna happen.
Xion would cease to exist, since, without Xehanort, there was no Organization XIII .
Roxas and Namine would cease to exist too, since Sora wouldn't have sacrificed himself for Kairi.
Axel would live In Radiant Garden as Lea with Isa and Kairi. Terra and Aqua would still be Keyblade wielders.
Donald and Goofy would be with King Mickey in Disney Castle.
Terra and Aqua would be training under Master Eraqus.
Nobody was sure what would happen to Ventus, Since it was Xehanort who had found him.
Riku and Sora would live normal lives in Destiny Islands.
The void glowed a little bit brighter and everyone started disappearing.
" Guys!" Sora yelled " This has been the best years of my life-" Then he stopped for a second. There had been so many things he had never got to do…
But even if he didn't want to say it, Even if he wasn't ready, He had to say it.
They were almost done disappearing.
He said it.
" Goodbye"
THE END!
