Mad World

(Talking: "" Thinking: '' Song: --)

Sora sat on the edge of a cliff on Hollow Bastion, his head held low, His eyes gazing blankly off into the distance, thinking.

-All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, Worn out faces-

He looked over his shoulder at the bustling city in progress.

'It all seems futile' Sora thought 'they will build up that city and then the heartless will destroy it again.'

He saw the small figures going about their lives, unaware that he was fighting heartless everyday for them! That he had lost his home, his friends, even Kairi! Just so every world could just go on with their lives!

-Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, Going nowhere-

Sora slowly stood up, the frustration and anger inside of him reaching a boiling point.

"I sacrificed it all so that they could just build a world." Sora said aloud, not caring about the darkness welling up in him, fueled by his emotions.

-Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression-

Sora cried out in pain as he felt the darkness attempting to overtake him again. It was beginning to happen more and more. The darkness inside him was starting to grow stronger, and it was trying to get out.

'What would it be like, being a Heartless.' Sora thought to himself. Sitting down on the edge again. 'Would it take me away from this pain, this misery?'

-Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow-

"Being a heartless would help you."A sibilant voice whispered near Sora's ear. He whirled around, only to see nothing there.

"It would take you away from all this."

Without turning around again Sora questioned whoever it was, dreading the answer.

"Who are you?"

"I'm your darkness."

-And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad-

"You would be helping Axel by creating Roxas. Everybody wins."

"But I would be evil." Sora whispered hoarsely. Holding out like this was taking a toll on his heart.

"Darkness is not evil!" The darkness hissed venomously at the keyblade wielder, then its voice was soft again. "It is merely the other side of the light. Without Darkness there is no light."

-The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had-

Sora was running out of reasons to refuse, he could almost feel his resolve beginning to crumble.

"I just- I can't. What would happen to everybody, what if I hurt them?"

"You wouldn't hurt them. You have a very strong heart, at least as strong as Ansem's, mabye even more. You could control the power!"

-I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take-

"What would Kairi do?" Sora murmured feebly, fishing in his mind for something, anything to keep him from the abyss of darkness.

" I thought you'd say something about her, even if she did love you, there's always… Roxas."

Enraged that his darkness had even thought of that Sora scrambled to his feet. His anger coursing through him.

-When people run in circles
It's a very, very-

"Never." He whispered as he hurled himself off of the cliff. "Never will I give into you!"

As Sora fell he turned over so he was facing the sky. There framed against the cliff he had just jumped from were many figures watching him.

Donald, Goofy, Squall, Yuffie, Cloud, Aerith, Cid, Riku, Roxas, Namine, Hayner, Pence, Ollete, Axel and…

Kairi.

His last vision was Kairi gazing down on him, tears in her eyes. Before he hit the rocks and saw no more.
