Chapter 1…The End is Near
A Tower appears on top of a hill in a dark night. Lightning strikes the ground while the thunder roars through the skies. Two floors before the rooftop, Kaiko is seen running up a spiral staircase. Carrying his sword, he slashes through the Heartless coming at him. As he runs higher, his mind begins to flash with memories from the past.
("We're almost to the top of the Battle Tower," said Freebee……… "Twilight Arrow!!!" yelled Nooby……… "I finally found you," said Ariella……… "You shouldn't give up," said Xemyuro……… "Kaiko, you always need my help," said Vesuvius……… "Please, don't hurt me!" cried Alex……… "Kairi! I haven't seen you in so long!" yelled Jade……… "This is your story," said Auron……… "Kaiko, you will die before me!" said Maester Seymour……… "Xakoki! You're the Key of Faith," said Zexion……… "Don't forget about me," said Tutee……… "I'm the Keyblade's chosen one," said Sora……… "I'll wait for you," said Kairi……… "I will return!" yelled Xakoki………)
"AHHH!!!!!!" yelled Kaiko. "I'm coming Kairi!!!! Nooby!!!! Hang in there!!!!!!" Kaiko gets to the floor before the roof. In front of him stands Sephiroth. "The most powerful being in this Geo-Stigma world…Sephiroth."
Sephiroth turns to face him and says "you're geo-stigma is gone... How disappointing."
"I'm here for the emerald!" yelled Kaiko.
Sephiroth shows Kaiko a blue emerald. "If you want this emerald, you'll have to take it by force."
"With pleasure!" yelled Kaiko. Kaiko pulls out his new katana sword, known as the Blade of Deception. Kaiko's sword clashes with Sephiroth's sword.
(During Nooby's training, Kaiko obtains the Blade of Deception in the geo-stigma world. The Blade of Deception can store different type of swords into blue sphere at the center of the handle. At anytime, this sword can transform into any of its stored swords. Kaiko found this sword in a temple known as the Temple of the Banished One. Kaiko fought against a creature known as the Beast of 1000 Souls. Kaiko defeated the beast with the help of Xakoki, his shadow form. The sword that is currently in the Blade of Deception is the XIII Swords. There may be other swords stored in the Blade of Deception that Kaiko may have obtained during Nooby's training.)
"Ariella, now!" yelled Kaiko, holding Sephiroth in place.
Ariella appears from behind Kaiko in the air. "Lunar Flash!" she yells. She pulls out her Moonlit Staff and a blinding light flashes. Sephiroth covers his eyes and is wide open for an attack.
(Ariella is a young girl that has traveled with Kaiko in the past, before he arrived in Spira. They reunited again at Shaclan's Battle Tower, making it to the top with Xemyuro, Freebee, Sora, Riku, and Vesuvius. Upon getting to the tower, they were all teleported back to their original world, the geo-stigma world. Only they were selected because not only did they win Battle Tower tournament, but they also had geo-stigma cells in them. Sora and Riku continued their quest to defeat the Heartless and the Nobody's. Freebee sets off to journey on his own, hunting down Zexion, which he finally defeats during Nooby's training in Spira. Vesuvius settles down in a small town after having a heartbreaking fight with Tutee during his return to Spira after meeting Nooby again. Xemyuro traveled with Kaiko for a while in the geo-stigma world. Later on, Ariella joins them on their quest to find a way back to Spira. Ariella falls in love with Xemyuro and ends up being together. Two weeks after they were together, Kaiko finds Xemyuro transforming into Maester Seymour. Kaiko battles Maester Seymour without his sword, and Kaiko loses. Before Maester Seymour tries to finish him off, Ariella appears from behind him, sealing him into Kaiko's Sword of Deception. Kaiko is able to summon Xemyuro at anytime, but he doesn't know if it's Maester Seymour or not, since both of them are one and the same.
