Another chapter in the real Sora's P.O.V. because it just has to happen! Enjoy and review!


"Ha!" Vanitas laughs, "You can't even stand right now, can you?" I glare, refusing to answer what he already knows. I won't let him get the satisfaction of hearing me accept defeat. Because I won't. My heart is strong, I have strong people protecting it. The light will not fall!

That's right, Sora. Don't ever give in.

Riku? I look around using only my eyes and I see a see through image of my silver haired best friend. He doesn't look how I remember him. He looks older, different.

That's right, Sora. Now, fight back!

His image disappeared and out of nowhere I could feel energy seeping into me and I knocked Vanitas off of me and stood up. "Like I said," I grinned, "I can and I will!" I then ran at him and he raises his weapon to fend me off, but I won't fall for his tricks anymore! We clash blades and he glares at me.

"How is it that you have any strength left?" he demands as we fight. "Because I have friends who care about me and I care about them! My friends are my power and I'm theirs!" I said. "Why does that sound so familiar?" he groans, pushing me back and shooting darkness at me, which I successfully dodged.

He then ran at me again and goes to attack me again. I dodge most of his combo hits and I fight back with a few of my own. He dodges all my attacks and goes in to attack me some more. I quickly jump away from his attack and fire light at him, hoping to stun him. But it doesn't work, he dodged it and appears in front of me and hits me multiple times before I have a chance to fight back.

I hit the ground hard and all my energy is drained again. What? Not now! Please not now! As I struggle to get up Vanitas walks up to me and sneers. "Still think you have a chance?" he asks. "I'll always have a chance." I breathed, "As long as the light still lives I will have a chance!" "Then your chance has run out. The Darkness is over ruling the light now, Sora. Either choose the winning side or perish with the other losers too stupid to choose life over death." he says in a rather bored tone.

"My friends are right. Because death is better than giving in to the Darkness!" I snapped. He laughed, "Then you're all idiots. You don't stand a chance against us!" I gritted my teeth and brought his foot down hard on my chest again. I can't fight him off now, that surge of energy Riku somehow gave me has run out!

Don't give up yet, Sora!

R-Roxas? I looked over into the blackness to see my Nobody looking older and different too. But still recognizable. "What are you looking at?" demands Vanitas, stomping his foot into my lungs, which causes me to cry out in pain. Clearly he couldn't see Roxas as I could.

Yes it's me. I'm here to lend you my power.

And with that Roxas disappears, but another surge of energy sweeps through me and I am able to fight Vanitas back again. I knock him down and go to stab my Keyblade into him but he knocks it out of my hands and grabs me by the throat and proceeds to lift me into the air. I soon begin to have difficulties breathing. I fight to knock him off me, but he's still stronger than me.

I reach for my Keyblade and it appears in my hand and I stab it into his back and he roars, dropping me and my Keyblade appears in my hand and he staggers backwards. "You fuck!" he yells, glowing in black, clearly attempting to heal himself. This is my chance! I go for him, Keyblade in hand and get good combo hits on him before he uses Darkness to throw me back. Then something catches me midair and I'm stuck there now. I'm unable to move but that doesn't stop me from struggling.

"You little fuck." he spits, "You'll pay for that!" He then summons his X-Blade again and walks up to me and I grit my teeth, ready for the attack. He raises his X-Blade and lays the tip on my chest. I suck in my breath, waiting for the pain to start, as I know it inevitably will.

He sneers and drags the thing down my chest. It cuts right through my shirt and skin, causing me to bleed and I scream from the sudden rush of intense pain. "Having fun yet, Sora?" he laughs, digging the blade in deeper, causing me to scream louder. Not that it will help. We're in the Darkness, and alone. I can scream all I want, no one will come for me.

He laughs as I scream. He digs it in deeper and twists it, causing the blade to cut deeply and tear into my skin and tissues. "Want me to stop yet? All you have to do is give up your heart!" he sneers. "G-go to hell!" I snap and spit blood on him. That made him angry and he dug the blade in deeper, causing me to scream again, and bleed terribly.

"You know, Sora. Once your dead and I have your heart, I can use it to transform into you. And you know what I'll do then?" he sneers. I didn't dare answer, I didn't believe he could get to my heart. I know he'll kill me soon though. "I'll use your image and kill off all your little friends." he sneers, "Starting with that pretty little red head. What was her name again? Kairi?" My eyes went wide, "Don't you fucking touch her!" I hissed, which only caused him to laugh. "As if you can stop me!" he smirked.

I summoned my Keyblade and some how managed to escape the force holding me and I lunged at him, knocking him down, with me on top of him and I pin him there. "You will not touch my friends." I snarled. He grinned, "Wanna bet?" He pushed me off him and came at me with his blade but I was ready, so I countered him with shooting a ball of light at him, which he got hit by this time.

He flew across the platform and landed just shy from the edge and I quickly ran to him to deliver more attacks before he could get up. I got to him and delivered a few attacks before he pushed me back and stood up. He sneered and shot Darkness at me, but I dodged it this time and he was right in front of me when I came back to the ground. "Gotcha!" he yelled, striking me down with his blade, cutting from my right shoulder to my left hip. Thankfully he didn't cut deep enough to slice me in half. But now I was losing too much blood too quick, and I could no longer move a muscle.

He comes up to me and smiles, holding his X-Blade right above where my heart would be. "Say good-bye forever, Sora." he sneered, preparing to bring the weapon down on me and fully end my chances of seeing my friends again, and of course, my life. I closed my eyes, preparing for the impact. I'm sorry Kairi, Riku, Roxas. I wasn't able to come back like I promised to.

I could still hear Vanitas laughing and I waited for the strike to hit me, to end my life, whereas it ended before. But the strike never came. I opened my eyes to see a very shocked Vanitas be side me, and a see through version of Kairi, blocking his blade with her own. "K-Kairi?" I gasped, my eyes wide. How is this possible? He couldn't see Riku and Roxas before!

"Hand on, Sora!" she said, keeping Vanitas's weapon still. He regained himself and pushed against the see through version of the girl I love. She kept herself still, so he couldn't move her. How is this possible? I could slowly feel my strength returning. Then I realized. My heart, it's creating these images of how he sees them to help me win against Vanitas, they can't attack! That's why she's only keeping him locked with her! So I can regain my strength and fight back!

"This is it, Sora! Can you fight?" she asks. I stand up in her place and summon my Keyblade and with a grin I say, "You tell me." She disappears and Vanitas's weapon is released and he immedietly strikes at me but I easily block it. I also realized the wounds he gave me were slowly healing themselves. Thanks, Little Me. I bring him back with my own attacked, knocking him down and I strike at him but he blocks and gets back to his feet. He doesn't leave any openings!

Just then, as he was standing, the one second he had his blade down I saw the opening and I went for it. By the time he realized what I was doing I had my Keyblade right through his heart and he was staring at me in shock, black blood spilling from his mouth, and soaking his suite from the hole I made in his hear. "Guess what, Vanitas?" I say with a soft smile, "I can and I did. I win. Game over."

I pull my Keyblade form him and he begins to be engulfed in Darkness. I didn't know if he was dead or just put back in my heart, never to awaken again, but I didn't care. I won. And now I'll be able to come back to the light with my friends. Just then I saw a bright light that looked like stairs leading down to he platform I was on. And at the other end was a sixteen year old version of myself.

"Sora! Come on! I have the heart fully connected! Come back to the worlds of Light, Sora!" he was calling to me. I found myself smiling, and tears falling from my eyes. This is it. The moment I've waited two and a half years for. To come from the Darkness, back into the Light. Little Sora looked really excited, he was practically jumping up and down calling, "Come on, Sora! They're all waiting for you! Come on! You don't want to make them wait any longer do you? Come on!"

I could help but to laugh and I began to walk up the stairs made of light, leading to the huge light doorway where my heart stood waving at me and calling to me happily. "I'm coming! Will you knock off that screaming?" I laughed. He laughed too and kept waving and calling for me. I was about half way now and he looked like he wanted to run to where I was and pull me the rest of the way, like I wasn't walking fast enough for his anticipation.

I got to the door and he held out his hand to me. "Take my hand and your heart will return to you, then you can return to the light, and you'll age the two years you deserve to have." he says with a smile. I nod and take his hand and he starts to disappear. "Thank you." I say just as he disappears and I step through the door and I find myself staring at the people I never thought I'd ever see again. And I couldn't stop smiling. And even worse than that, I couldn't stop crying!
