Everyone else in the room had suddenly disappeared, and the whole stage turned into a battle arena at the command of Sephiroth's withdrawn hand. And what would a fight with the One-Winged Angel be without his theme song? Yep, that started to play as well.

"Wait a minute," Kairi pondered. "Then, who were Holly and Sam?"

"Oh, them . . ." Sephiroth began to explain. "That was Cloud and Aerith. I hired them for one million munny each to help me scare the crap out of you. And they thought it would be fun, too, so they agreed."

"I thought Cloud hated you," Sora said.

"Nah . . . Cloud and I are actually good buddies. I just get mad at him when he tries to steal my cookies. My mom makes some mean chocolate chip cookies!"

"Jenova bakes?" Kairi questioned.

"Are you making fun of my mom?!?!?"

"No, Mr. Sephiroth, sir. I would never make fun of your mother."

"Good! Too bad you're going to die anyway!!!"

"Wait!" Sora stopped, nervous for the fight. "Who's this Jeffrey guy and why did he turn Mickey into a stuffed animal."

"You idiots! Jeffrey is King Mickey!!! When he heard that you were coming to the castle, he turned himself into a teddy bear, turned his servants into heartless, and threw in some fake keyblades. Then, he sent you on a quest for candy to make you leave. He doesn't want you around him anymore!"

"So it was all for show?" Kairi asked.

"Yeah, it was. The worst part is that you all bought it. Donald and Goofy knew the whole time, but they never said a word. Mickey was angry with them because they carelessly went running to your island after one of the servants tried to scold them for stealing candy."

"Oh . . ." Sora responded. "Kairi, how could you be so stupid!?!"

"What? Sora, you believed it too! By the way, Sephiroth, how do you know all this?"

"Mickey hired me to assassinate you guys for ten million munny. How do you think I could afford to hire Cloud and Aerith?"

"Well, guess what, Sephiroth?" Sora braved. "I've beaten you before, so I can do it again! Then, I get to watch the secret movie at the end."

"What are you talking about?"

Sora didn't answer. He charged toward Sephiroth as the One-Winged Angel theme reached a dramatic transition. There was a emission of waves of light as Sephiroth's masamune collided with Sora's keyblade.

"You won't beat me this time, Sora," Sephiroth boasted. "I've learned some new things since we last met."

"Oh, yeah? Well, so have I!" Sora prepared his new move. "I'll finished you off quick this time, and I won't even need an elixir!"

"Considering you don't have any . . ." Kairi muttered.

"OMNI-SLASH!!!" Sora cried out. "KEYBLADE STYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Sora was charged up and glowing a vibrant blue color. His speed was great and Kairi's eyes couldn't keep up, let alone Sephiroth's. He zoomed back and forth across the stage, whacking Sephiroth whenever he passed him. Sephiroth was thinking he might lose, until Sora's light dimmed and he sat on the floor, exhausted.

"Drat!" he cursed. "I ran out of chakra!"

"What?" Sephiroth questioned.

"Never mind. Just give me a second to catch my breath."

"Oh, okay . . ."

Within a few minutes, Sora was back to his Omni-Slash, striking Sephiroth repeatedly until the last cry sounded. Sephiroth was down.

"You cheated!" he complained.

"No, I didn't! KEYBLADE STYLE always wins the match! And, besides, you're a loser!"

"Good job, Sora!" Kairi congratulated. "Now, let's pick up Riku and go home."

"I can't believe King Mickey hates us," Riku stated, leaning against the paopu tree beside Sora and Kairi. "I guess his letter really was serious."

"Yeah, but who needs him anyway?" Sora commented. "It's his loss, not ours."

"I guess. Hey, Sora, did you get that secret movie?"

"Yep, it's right here," Sora responded, holding up a tape.

"Cool! Pop it in!"

The paopu tree expanded into a big screen with a VCR slot at the bottom. Sora pushed the tape into the opening and sat back next to Kairi.

Kairi put her hand on his. "Aww . . . Our first movie together. Isn't it exciting, Sora?" she said.

Sora blushed. "Yeah, of course."

"Geez . . ." Riku gagged. "I can't take more of this, guys! Could you just be normal around me? Urgh . . . My stomach feels just like it did after all that candy."

"Just shut up and watch the secret ending, Riku!" Sora silenced.
