Dear Sora,

Where ever you may be ,I hope that you will see,Your heart may be shared,but now separate you shall be.

Separate doesn't always not mean apart,For the hearts you have touched, they shall never depart.

Your love has reached many in their hearts that they hold,Your endless kindness bringing them closer in to the fold.

Your happiness holds a special place in your heart,Where I know you'll find love and a brand new start.

Your endless compassion shields them from the cold,Your heart has since formed around them, Creating a new mold.

I know you'll find happiness, and where ever it may be,I know you'll be waiting for those hearts to set you free.

Until then, I part and I bid you goodnight,For the journey,the end, is nearly in sight.

Just believe in yourself and I know it will come true,That your dream of happiness,it's just hiding, deep within you.

-Kairi

Terra stood tall and held his keyblade, Ends of the Earth, tight in his grip.

Sora stood on his feet, holding Vanitas' Keyblade, Voidgear in his hand. He didn't want to fight Terra, but Terra wasn't not going to stop.

Terra yelled across the Keyblade Graveyard in anger. "Vanitas! I knew it!! Sora- he's not safe! If you can still hear me, you need to fight him. Let me help you defeat him."

Sora frowned and held his blade up in defense. "Vanitas is not controlling me! He helps me! Please!" He cried and felt fear and sadness creep into his heart and could not help but spawn unversed around them in clusters.

Terra moved quickly then and angrily as he started to slash at the creatures with disgust and hatred in his heart.

"No!" Sora yelled in pain and fell to his knee with his Keyblade stabbed into the dirt holding him upright. He struggled to stand right as Terra tried to swing at him again. He leaned back and brought his keyblade back up to defect the blow.

More unversed started spawning in Sora's fear and Terra turned to them when they started to close in on him. He swung and sliced at the unversed and Sora cried out in agony.

Vanitas started to stretch out and try to take over, but Sora held him back, fearful for Terra, and what they both would do. Sora continued to run, back to where the ship was landed but would trip over each unversed that was killed by Terra's hands. He fell finally in agony and gritted his teeth as felt the pain wash over him.

Vanitas tried to take over again , but Sora held him back.

"Sora!!!!" A new voice had called out and Sora felt his heart soar. It was Riku, thank god, and he arrived with Ven and Aqua by his side. When the pair reached each other, Riku knelt to Sora who was still collapsed on the ground in pain with tears in his eyes.

"Sora, are you alright!!?" He asked desperately, but then he saw Voidgear, Vanitas keyblade and heard Aqua suck in a gasp. She readied her own keyblade, Rainfell, and backed away from them both , pulling Ventus with her.

Ventus jerked in her grasp. "What gives Aqua? Sora is hurt!"

Terra then appeared from the sidelines and held his keyblade ready. "Riku! you need to step back. Sora has Vanitas inside of him. I'm trying to get him to come out. I don't want to have to fight you too if you stand in the way."

Aqua blinked but quickly moved to Terras side, knowing Terra was serious, and was ready to do anything to defeat Vanitas, once and for all.

Riku helped Sora stand shakily and shook his head desperately. "We don't have to fight! Vanitas is helping Sora! Not using him! Stop fighting him and you'll see!"

Terra moved closer and prepared himself to attack again. "We will see, when we fight - Vanitas will come out, he won't be able to resist and then we will all see the truth. We will set this right!" He yelled and swung at Sora, and Riku instinctively summoned his keyblade, Braveheart, into his hands stopping Terra's blow in an instant.

Ventus gasped as he saw Riku almost seemingly teleport in front of Sora suddenly. He rubbed his eyes and almost thought he imagined it.

Sora stood with the keyblade Voidgear in his grip. He moved to his fighting stance reluctantly and moved to Riku's side.

Aqua also moved back to Terra's side and Ventus watched on in horror and his two groups of friends started to fight each other, in a terrible battle.

Aqua paired off to fight Riku and keep him distracted as Terra kept chasing Sora down. Terra would swing his keyblade violently as he tried to connect a hit. Sora would block and dodge until he fell again, feeling himself grow weaker and more unversed start to spawn around them. Riku immediately backed up after seeing the unversed, while Aqua started to attack the things, wanting to protect herself from them.

Right as Aqua had destroyed an unversed, Terra swung his blade again, and this time Sora was not ready. It hit him in the chest and he flew back in an instant by the force of the blow. Riku felt his blood run cold as he saw Sora get tossed backwards. While Riku was watching Sora, Aqua had come up behind him and blasted him with a spell and Riku recoiled in pain and anger at them.

"You're done!" Riku said angrily as he turned to her and and tried to disarm her.

Terra went in ahead to follow Sora who had been thrown back quite a distance.

He found Sora in a pile of rubble as he struggled to get up. Terra held his keyblade at him.

Vanitas then demanded that he come out right that instant, and Sora sighed and let him. As Terra brought his blade down, Vanitas held up Voidgear to block and looked at Terra right into his eyes. Terra gasped seeing Sora with bright yellow.

Vanitas had come out. Just as he feared.

Vanitas held nothing back as he fought Terra away, pushing him back. Terra blocked and evaded as Vanitas moved around him.

Both Aqua and Riku had ran back to meet their fighting partners. Riku instinctively moved to stand by Sora's side and knew instantly that Sora was no longer there and that Terra had forced Vanitas to come out. He looked back and saw bright yellow eyes but nodded determinedly. They had to win this fight or else.

The four clashed together in a big cloud. They parried blows and blocked attacks but Aqua had managed to hit Riku pretty hard.

Riku fell back with a gasp as he clutched his side, feeling blood, and Vanitas stopped and growled angrily when he saw Riku's hand pull away from the wound coated in red.

Vanitas yelled bitterly at that and was furious. He summoned a second keyblade, Riku's old keyblade, Soul Eater, into his left hand then and slashed at Aqua, feeling all the pent up rage and anger in himself and it fueled his swing. He connected with her chest and she went flying backwards.

"Take that, Master!!" Vanitas snarled at her as she was hit.

Terra yelled angrily as Aqua was hurt. He slammed his fist in his shoulder pad and summoned his keyblade armor around himself.

"Enough is enough! Now it's time to end this, Vanitas!" He cried and lunged to swing at Vanitas blindly.

Terra's Rage had been Awakened.

He managed to get Vanitas cornered and aimed his keyblade at his chest, ready to stab at his heart and destroy him. But as his blade connected he was pushed back by another blinding light.

Terra stepped back and shielded his eyes and when the light faded Sora stood tall in a dark flowing gown, holding the two keyblades at his sides. Sora looked at Terra, with his now purple eyes, and just simply frowned before starting to fight him sadly, using his two keyblades against Terra's one. They fought and clashed and twisted around each other violently. Neither budging an inch.

Suddenly though there was a new voice in the mix. It was Ventus who was holding Aqua up and Riku was not far behind. They all weakly joined together at the top of the precipice.

"Please, don't fight anymore!!" Ventus cried while releasing Aqua from his grip. He wanted to rush in and stop them, but Riku grabbed him before he could, trying to protect Ventus from the chaotic fight. Terra gritted his teeth at Riku grabbing on Ventus so and practically flew over there and hit Riku with his keyblade, sending him flying again.

"Don't you touch him, Riku." Terra said as he swung.

Sora yelled in desperation. "Riku!"

He started to run to him, but then Terra tried to strike him. Sora started to spawn more unversed unconsciously as he tried to keep up with Terra's quick pace.

Sora eventually got hit and it instantly hurt , there was a lot of blood. He could feel his anger building , the rage in him building. He didn't try to hold it back any longer though, feeling himself grow weaker by the minute. He had to do something, or Terra would likely kill him.

Sora jerked his body violently and let the blackness cover his skin. The black ink tendrils swept around him widely as his eyes became red.

He teleported in front of Terra and stabbed one of the keyblades it to the ground as he spun around it and used his other keyblade to slice at Terra if he got to close.

Sora quickly teleported around and slashed at Terra wildly. Unseeing anymore, as he had let himself go to his Rage.

A whole new Form for him.

Sora continued to slash at Terra and blood started to pool on the ground below. Ventus gasped and cried out to stop the madness and Sora turned to look to at him, unseeing and not understanding.

Ventus just ran up blindly and hugged Sora close as he started to cry.

"Please Sora ! I know you're in there !! please ! We won't take Vanitas away from you, please just stop!"

Sora stood still for a moment. Unseeing. He took a deep breath suddenly and released it with a huff. The black inky darkness washed away from Sora then, and Sora stood in his familiar gown again. His eyes purple once more, and tears started to well up in them. Sora fell to his knees in Ventus' grasp as they held each other.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Please! Please don't take Vanitas away from me! I need him! He needs me! Please!" Sora pleaded and begged, crying desperately.

Ventus cried too and just nodded holding Sora tightly. "it's okay, it's okay! I know, I understand! I won't let them take Vanitas."

Vanitas feels his own heart ache at that. Ventus saved Sora just now. Ven had also become Sora's second chance. Vanitas wanted to Hug Ventus then with all of his heart.

In the midst of them talking , Mickey and Master Yen Sid arrived through a portal of light.

Mickey looks to the mess of the battle and shook his head. "We're ready for Sora now guys." He said sadly, fully ready to transport Sora to Ienzo to be separated from Vanitas.

Sora looked up at them in terror as Master Yen Sid started to walk to him. Ready, to snatch Sora up.

Sora pushed away from Ventus in fear and backed away. More unversed spawned and started to close in and Mickey held out his hand worriedly. "Sora please come with us! We just want to help you!"

Sora screamed back in fear. "I won't let you kill us both!" he suddenly spawned a dark portal and jumped through it. It dematerialized immediately after.

Sora found himself back at the lake suddenly, at the mysterious tower and fell he to the grass in anguish. He stared at ground as tears fell and he let himself sob for what felt like hours. Many Unversed slowly gathered around him. Vanitas was there but was also heartbroken at what he just saw. He slowly pulled Sora into their dream and they just held each other close and let tears fall.

Vanitas rubbed Sora's back soothingly. He could not believe it. Sora's friends had turned on him and now they basically wanted to kill them both by separation. They didn't understand just how fused Vanitas and Sora were now and that it was not that simple. It would literally kill one of them.

Eventually after awhile, after all Sora's sobs had ended, Vanitas started to kiss him softly and gently, simply holding Sora close and then they passionately made love under the sea of stars in the sky.

Right there, next to the crystal clear lake, in a dream within their hearts.

Riku was absolutely furious.

They thought they were doing what was right, but was practically killing Sora right?

They tried to speak to him, but Riku just ignored them as he was pissed. Ventus spoke up finally as Riku readied to leave the Keyblade Graveyard.

"let me go with you Riku! I want to help find them!"

Riku nodded feeling relief that Ventus still knew what was right.

Ventus hurried to Riku's side where they both started to run towards their ship quickly.

When they got in the ship and took off though, Riku let his thoughts come back. Sora only did those things when he was literally pushed into it. He would never harm anyone and is so Selfless. Riku couldnt even Believe the other masters. They were all so quick to give up and say darkness was bad. But Riku knew better then anyone that not all darkness was evil. That there needed to be a balance in the world.

They continued to fly to the destination. Knowing Sora would probably go back to the tower, if anything, and if not they could round up the Troops to make a mini army. Riku knew that Kairi, Axel, Roxas, Xion and Namine each would stand up for what was right.

Mickey and Master Yen Sid watched as Sora, Riku and Ventus had all left. Aqua stood up shakily as she helped Terra stand and felt sadness flow through her.

"Are you sure it's the only way?"

Yen Sid nodded then, standing tall and sure. "You saw Sora go into that final form. He was dangerous to us and himself. It needs to happen."

Master Yen Sid then let Terra, Aqua, Mickey leave through his light portal before closing it and opening a second one, set to a new destination. He sighed and stepped though and was met with a familiar crystal lake on his familiar plot of land, at the mysterious tower.

The Master looked down and saw Sora curled up asleep, and he just shook his head at Sora's simplicity. Even when running away, he still went home. A pity.

Master Yen Sid then used his magic to levitate Sora's body and took him with through the portal, ready to see the deed done overwith with already.

A dream is a wish your heart makes

When you're fast asleep

In dreams you will lose your heartaches

Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday

Your rainbow will come smiling through

No matter how your heart is grieving, If you keep on believing

The dream that you wish will come true
