Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: Ben's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Sorry I took so long, but stuff happened. Stuff that kind of changed where I'm going to go with this story. Everything right now will seem normal, but what really changed was Traverse Town. The Final Fantasy characters I want to use will still be there, but I added a few other characters… hehehe… anyway, I hope you enjoy the final Ever After chapter! Expect Traverse Town shortly! (Also, I've switched back to mostly canon KH Disney Worlds. There are a few differences, but mostly the same.)

Chapter 4: Ever After- Part 3

"Hey Maddie, how do I look?" Raven asked. Raven had changed out of her dress and was wearing some jeans. Her top had short white sleeves and was purple, with a blue belt around her waist. She had on a few bracelets, purple and blue, and had a pair of green earrings.

Maddie rolled her eyes and giggled. Maddie was wearing her Dragon Games outfit, minus a few of the riding equipment. "You look like you're going on a date," Maddie giggled.

Raven was forced to roll her eyes. "Not like that Maddie!" Raven said flatly. "We're just going to go out for a walk. That's it. Nothing else, I promise."

"You can promise, but you ain't a mouse!" Maddie giggled. "Lizzie and Darling are expecting me. We decided to go hang out with our dragons tonight, so if you need us, you know where to find us."

Raven rolled her eyes again. "Yeah, yeah, I get it Maddie," Raven said. Raven looked out the window of Maddie's dorm and noticed how dark it was outside. "Hey, does it look like its going to rain to you?" Raven asked.

"Getting cold feet?" Maddie giggled.

"Stop," Raven said flatly. Raven walked over to the window… and gaped. "Um… Maddie?"

"Yes Raven?"

"What's that?"

Maddie bounced over to the window and looked up. A giant black ball of darkness with big redness inside of it. Maddie's eyes bulged out of her eyes. "Um… a dancing flamingo? Maybe?"

"No."

"Yeah, I know. Um… maybe I should cancel with Darling and Lizzie?"

"Go to the stables and see if you can find them. Apple's probably waiting for me out in the woods. We'll meet back here, alright?" Raven asked.

"King Kong hates yaks, but ok!" Maddie saluted and ran off. Raven nodded to herself and went right to the door. She went into the hall and looked down both ways. However, right at that moment, the creepy Shadows lifted out of the ground. Raven, surprised, jumped back.

"You things again?!" Raven said, alarmed. The Shadows rushed forward, making Raven panic. Instead of staying and fighting them, Raven ran down the hallway, heading straight for the doorway. It turned out that was a smart move on her part. She realized she didn't have any weapons to fend the creatures off anyway.

Raven exited the school, the Shadows chasing after her. Right as Raven got outside, she stopped. Standing with her back toward Raven, Apple stood in front of her. She, too, was in casual clothing, jeans and a white and red shirt. Raven sighed in relief.

"Apple! Thank goodness!" Raven sighed in relief. "Come on, let's get inside before whatever that is does something bad!"

Apple continued to look forward. "Raven… I've tried to go easy on you," Apple said, her voice shaking. "I didn't want to resort to this… but my destiny's on the line…"

Raven rolled her eyes. "Can we talk about this later Apple? I don't like the look of that thing in the sky," Raven said.

Apple sighed. "I'm sorry it has to come to this Raven," Apple said. A dark circle formed around the two of them, dark flames dragging the two downward. Raven's eyes widened. She reached toward Apple, trying to grab her.

"Apple, stop!" Raven said, gagging on the darkness.

"I'm sorry," Apple said. Both girls were engulfed in complete darkness, making everything black. Both girls were gone, never to be seen again.

Until…

FLASH!

Raven appeared and stumbled forward. She straightened back up, looking forward. Apple was gone, most likely taken by the darkness. Raven sighed, lowering her… wait… Raven lifted up her hand and noticed that in her hand was a giant key, which looked very similar to her Legacy Day Key. It was purple with a cattle skull on the handle. It went down with branches and small apple engravings to the two key teeth sticking out. A chain hung from the handle, which had a black and green apple on the end of it.

"That was a bust," Raven grumbled. Right then, the Shadows appeared from the ground around her, looking at her. "Danggit, not you guys again," Raven groaned. However, she slowly looked down at the key. A name instantly came to mind for some reason. Raven then reached with her other hand and held it two handed. "Keyblade… Dark Service… fine. Let's do this," she said.

Raven went straight for the first Shadow closest to her. She swung upward, slashing right into it. The Shadow vanished instantly, much to Raven's surprise. Smirking, Raven spun around in a full circle. Every Shadow that was surrounding her vanished.

"Right… with them gone… I guess the stables," Raven said to herself.

"But will you get there?" came a high pitched voice.

"Huh?" Raven said, spinning around. However, she didn't see anything when a dark wind blew her backward, blinding her furiously. A low and dark laughter rang around her, scaring her to death.

Raven was thrown back onto her back, knocking the wind out of her. She groaned as she forced herself onto her feet… to notice that she was standing in a fading courtyard. "My home!" Raven shouted. "What's going on here?!"

A rumbling was heard behind her, making Raven stumble. Raven turned and gasped, stepping backward. A giant black creature with yellow eyes towered before her. It's face was wrapped with dark strings and stared evilly down at Raven.

"Oh #$%," Raven said, holding Dark Service up with one hand pointing forward. This felt natural to her, so she eyed the… Darkside… carefully. "Hmm… no…"

The Darkside lifted its hand in the air and slammed it into the ground. Raven jumped into the air and rolled forward, slashing its arm repetitively. The Darkside didn't expect this and stumbled backward in surprise. Raven landed on both her feet, carefully balancing herself.

"I guess getting secret lessons from Darling is paying off," Raven giggled. The Darkside fell to its knees and stuck out it's chest. A giant ball of white formed in it's chest, getting ready to fire it. Raven jumped back a little when it shot out like a bullet. She held Dark Service in front of her defensively. The bullet made contact and was deflected from the blade and back at the Darkside.

It made contact with the giant dark creature's face. The creature seemed to moan and fell flat on its face. Taking this chance, Raven rushed it and started to attack furiously at the creature's head. After a few hard swings, the creature seemed to shake violently.

However, the Darkside started to float upward, into the giant ball of red and blackness. Raven started to float too, much to her reluctance. "No! This isn't happening!" Raven said, trying to grab onto something. Unfortunately, she could not. All she could do was float into the destructive sphere…

…and vanish.

(Rising Falls)

Apple groaned as she awoke. She appeared to be on a giant stone platform at the bottom of several waterfalls. Apple groaned and stood up, rubbing her head. Looking around, she noticed that the waterfalls were going up instead of down.

"Where am I?" she asked.

"Why, you're home, of course!"

Apple spun around and could have sworn she saw something sink into the water. Apple shook her head and looked up, seeing stones float up and down, leading to platforms hovering in midair. Apple was about to jump to the first one when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Now how did you get here?" came a deep voice. Apple slowly turned around and saw someone in a giant metal suit armor. His suit was grey and his helmet was square, covering every indication how big his head was. His body was wide, seeing how big his suit was. The figure stared at her for a moment. "Oh. Your one of hers. Follow me."

"Where am I? How did I get here?" Apple asked.

The suit person laughed. "All you need to know is darkness," he said. "Because if you don't understand it soon… she'll not take you too nicely."

BN: And done! I know it's not exactly like the original Kingdom Hearts, but like I keep saying, I don't intend for it to follow the original story. Things will happen differently because I'm going off a different plot set. Also, the suit guy is an OC of mine. Just thought I'd mention it. I think that's everything for now. Traverse Town should be up shortly. I can't wait to start writing it! Hehehe…
