Here is the next chapter!

This one is longer than the other ones to make up for not updating in a while.

Disclaimer-I own nothing. I own whar (eternal peace)!


Xion stood as the blue Flood followed. It has been a week since the bet was made. Xion didn't try to win because she couldn't, not without having Xemnas no longer trusting him.

She ignored all the snide comments some of the members were saying. As she entered the Room of Gathering, no one was there. On the glass wall was a note that said, 'NO MISSIONS'

Xion looked at the saddened Twilight, then she got an idea. "How about we go visit a few worlds? After that I'll let you decide where we will stay and then you can help me with a new move I'm trying to master. Okay?"

Twilight jumped for joy, which Xion took as a yes.


Eventually the duo made it back to the castle a couple of minutes before supper started. The only one that wasn't there was Lord Xemnas. "Has he remembered something, Poppet?" Xigbar asked before she could sit. Xion stayed silent as she sat at her spot.

"What's the matter Poppet? Cat got y-"

"Sit down, Xigbar." Came Xemans voice from the entrance. Xemnas sat at his seat, he looked up to see the Sharp Shooter not doing what he said. Xemnas smirked as he said, "I told you to sit down, Braig."

At the sound of his old name, Xigbar immediately did what he was told.

Few minutes into dinner, not knowing if he could heard her, Xion whispered, "Thank you, sir."

Then she looked at his face, trying to find any signs that he did. In under five seconds he looked at her and winked, causing a smile to play on the girl's face.

After everyone was finished eating, Xemnas stood. "Tomorrow we will all be visiting a new world."

"What's its name?" Axel asked.

The Leader looked up at the red-head. "Why is that important?" he countered.

The chakram wielder leaned back in his chair, arms crossed against his chest. "We need to know the name so we can at least call it something."

Superior glared at the irritable man. "You will know the name once we arrive, I guarantee it."

Axel stayed silent as Demyx asked, "So why are we going to this new world?"

"Everyone needs to know the history of what happened there." Xemnas explained.

"Then why don't you tell us now?" Luxord suggested.

"You need to know the place before I tell you," Number 1 answered as he walked to the exit. "We will be leaving tomorrow morning at eight. Anyone who's late will be punished." Then he was gone before asked anymore questions.


Xemnas closed his bedroom door and sighed. "Why does everyone have to question my intentions?"

He walked to his window and gazed up at the heart in the sky. A sad grin started to appear on his face. "One more day. One more day until she remembers everything."


"What world do you think we're going to?" Axel asked his two friends as they ate their ice-cream. The trio decided to go to the Clock Tower one last time before they have to leave for who knows how long.

"Maybe he's going to take us to a world we've been to before for training." Roxas said with his mouth full.

"But why would he take us to a world we've been to?" Xion questioned.

"He said we need to know the place." Axel stated. "So I wouldn't out rule Roxas's idea."

Xion faced the setting sun. The sky became a mixture of night and dawn. Her smile became small when she remembered the night Terra made a wish. "The world could be one that Lord Xemnas's has been to when he had a heart. Perhaps a one that was destroyed."

"That seems more plausible than mine." Roxas admitted. "For all we now, the world might not exist."

Axel grew impatient and frustrated. "But why?"

No one answered his questioned. The mood became still between the three friends, but they were all thinking the same thing; the answer to why the sun sets red.


In this world there were thousands of keyblades stuck in the ground. The weapons each have their own design. Some were broken while others didn't look like a keyblade at all. They were placed so there was a walk way between them. Standing among them was Terra.

From a distance his friend, Aqua, walked toward him. She stopped a couple of feet in front of him. "I was told the master was struck down."

Terra refused to look at her. "Yes. . .that's right." Then he added, "I was stupid and helped Xehanort do it."

Aqua gasped. She didn't understand why he did so.

Knowing what she was thinking Terra explained, "The master-he tried to hurt Ven. I only fought because I wanted to protect him. But I was tricked. Xehanort set the whole thing up." His hands immediately turned into fist after he finished talking. Then he let them go as he added, "all so he could awaken the darkness inside me."

He turned his face to look at her. "You were right Aqua," he admitted. "And so did the master. I need to be watched."

Terra broke his gaze. "I went astray-but no more."

Aqua was also looking at the ground in sadness. "What else is darkness, but hate and rage?"

She sighed as she said, "Xehanort is feeding the dark fires within you, making you fight. You'll go astray again."

Aqua looked up at Terra. "Tell me, how does that honor our Master's memory, Terra?"


Xion turned in her sleep and muttered, "Terra." Unknowingly someone was in there watching her do so.


The man named Xehanort was on his knees panting. Terra had defeated him. Terra walked up to him, keyblade in hand. The ground shook causing Terra to become unbalanced. Xehanort looked up. "There you see?" He pointed behind Terra.

Terra reluctantly turned his head slightly, keeping his eye on Xehanort. A bright light flashed from the corner of his eye. Terra gasped as he turned to the large bright light.

Xehanort shakily stood with his keyblade supporting him. "The x-blade has been forged!"

"Ven!" Terra shouted running forward a couple of steps.

"And now, Terra, it is time for the final union!" With that being said Xehanort used his keyblade to release his heart.

"What?" Terra exclaimed. When he looked back at the evil master, the keyblade disappeared as Xehanort's heart started floating in the air.

Xehanort smiled evilly. His body was now enveloped in shimmering light. "Out with the old and brittle vessel, and in with a younger, stronger new one!"

Terra began stepping back in fear of what the master was planning.

"I swore I would survive," he started out, "and be there to see what awaited beyond the Keyblade War!" If possible his smile became eviler. "And now it is your darkness that shall be the ark that sustains me!"

Terra activated his armor as the heart came flying at him, but it was too late. Once the armor covered him, darkness surrounded him. Xehanort smiled in satisfaction as he vanished. One by one the armor continued to fall. The last piece to fall was the head.

The person who wore the armor a few seconds ago looked different. The only things that seemed to change was his hair, eyes, and voice. Instead of being blue the eyes changed to gold, the eyes of darkness. The hair, which was once brown, changed to silver, almost pure white. But his voice changed the most. It was deeper and more of a harsh tone to it.

"This heart belongs to darkness again."


"Dad!" Xion yelled awake. It took her a few moments to realize she was in her bedroom at the Castle that Never Was. She looked at the object she held in her hand. "What are you planning?"

She glanced at her clock before rushing out of the room. The Organization would be leaving for the new world in one minute.

Xion ran as fast as her legs could carry her. Before she could stop herself, she bumped into one of the members. "You're late." Saix stated as he shoved her off him.

"I over slept," she said as she regained her balance.

"That's a shocker-"

"Enough Saix." Xemnas barked at his second in command. He moved his attention to Xion. His tone was gentler when he asked, "Why were you late?"

"I had a nightmare," Xion reluctantly answered.

"Was it like the one before?"

Xion shook her head. "No sir, it was different."

"Then we'll discuss this later, in private." Xemnas decided. He summoned a portal of darkness. "For now it's time to leave."

"Where exactly are we going, Lord Xemnas?" Roxas asked hesitantly.

"We are going to the world I lost my heart at."
