A/N: The time is nearly upon us folks. We are nearing the endgame. After being apart of a cinematic universe for over a decade, everything has finally led up to this moment.

An era comes to an end. And a new one will begin.

Does sound kind of familiar, does it?

It's pretty much no coincidence that Kingdom Hearts III and Avengers: Endgame share one thing in common. They both herald the end of a era of their respective franchises and serve as links to the beginning of a new one.

And I've had such a strong love for both franchises by just how much they can bring to the table in their own ways.

After playing and finishing Kingdom Hearts III, I was quite surprised, especially since I had never expected the game to end the way it did. Y'know, 'cos I had anticipated a few hero deaths and no, she wasn't one of them.

I mean, seriously? All that build up, and it came to nothing. Amounted to nothing!

But anyways, rest assured that this travesty will be undone, and Kairi will be given the development treatment that she so rightfully deserved.

And taking into consideration the bittersweet ending, I'll simply consider I Hope They Remember You as an slight AU ending to KHIII.

As we continue to await the release of Endgame, here's a small prologue to the I Hope They Remember You sequel fic, Whatever It Takes.

I hope you like it!


There always a beginning, middle and end to every story.

But was I ever truly a part of it?

I was swept away from my world, my heart stolen, and my memories wiped...

And then time came calling for me, and once more I was swept away into danger...

And then came the fight of my life, until I met my end at the hands of a madman...

But every time I was faced with peril, he will be there, the boy with the key.

He has saved me time and time again... far more times than I'm able count.

But what have I done for him in return?

I have supported him thick and thin, but was it ever enough to repay his goodness?

And right at the end of the story, deep in my heart I was certain... maybe, perhaps maybe I could repay him in some way.

But then it happened... the day when I started losing my friends...

The day I lost him... again...

And that was when I truly realised, the story had not reached its ended...

It has just begun... for me...

So I swear by my promise to you, Sora...

I will fight to protect your legacy.

I will find out whoever was the cause of your end, as well as those of our other friends... and I will right this wrong...

Whatever it takes.


Kairi: Wait, really? That's it? I think it's shorter than my message in the bottle to Sora!

A/N: Whoa! Hey Kairi! Didn't see you there!

Kairi: Hi! And hello to you guys out there as well! [looks back to author] You still haven't answered my question.

A/N: Oh right! Well, that's because the base of the story surrounds Endgame, right? So I already have an idea of how the plot ought to play out, but I still need to watch Endgame first to see how I can proceed with it.

Kairi: Hmm... well, I guess you've a good point there... But is any way you could possibly drop some hints of what our audience could expect from the story?

A/N: [strokes chin] ... As tempting as that sounds... I don't know. I really shouldn't be giving out spoilers this early.

Kairi: At least what the premise would be about?

A/N: That's an easy one. Now that Sor-um, I mean, you-know-who is off the playing field, you're gonna step up to fill his shoes and find a way to bring him and everyone else back. And as I stated earlier, you're gonna get some sweet justice for your character arc!

Kairi: That's great! About time, and without any Nomuras in sight?

A/N: No Nomuras at all! 100% guaranteed! And since we've still got about a month or so away from the opening number, how's 'bout you keep on preparing yourself for when the time comes?

Kairi: Sure, I still have some sparring to do with Riku anyways! Well guys, I'll see you later!

A/N: Me too! See you in a month!
