Chapter 12: The Final Battle
"You girls want me to be the bad guy? Fine, now I'm the bad guy." Gothel said coldly.
As soon as Kairi heard those words coming out of Gothel, she felt a feeling of anger inside of her. She then summoned her destiny's embrace keyblade and pointed it at Gothel who was taken off guard. Rapunzel went behind Kairi.
"Don't come near her Gothel!" Kairi exclaimed.
"What do you plan to do with that keyblade Kairi, kill me?" Gothel coldly asked. "That is not the way of a Princess of Heart, is it?"
Kairi continued to glare at her. "I will never use my keyblade to kill. I will use this to protect and defend those who dwell in light. I made a promise to protect Rapunzel and I will protect her!" Gothel scoffed at Kairi before Kairi spoke up again. "And for the record Gothel, my friends and I have done a much better job at taking care of Rapunzel than you ever did!"
"Why you filthy little brat!" Gothel spat at Kairi. "I'll make you pay for using that tone of voice at me!"
"Never!" Kairi spat back before thrusting her keyblade at Gothel hitting her.
After Gothel felt pain in her after receiving that hit from Kairi's keyblade, she felt a surge of fury course in her and she began to glow in darkness.
"I was hoping it wouldn't come to THIS!" Gothel shouted before summoning her sword of darkness making the girls gasp in horror.
"Oh no! Are you?!" Kairi asked in horror.
"Yes girls. I'm a follower of darkness!" Gothel exclaimed. "And with my new power I will destroy all who stand between me and Rapunzel!"
Kairi glared at her. "You will NOT lay one hand on her! Not while I'm here! And I WILL stop you!"
Gothel glared back at Kairi. "Fine Kairi. You want a battle, I will give you a war!" Gothel exclaimed as she glowed brighter in darkness and got into a battle stance.
Kairi got to a battle stance herself before turning to Rapunzel. "Rapunzel, get somewhere safe. I'll fight her off."
"But Kairi! You can't do this alone! Let me help!" Rapunzel spoke up in a worried tone before Kairi cut her off.
"No!" Kairi said. "I will finish this."
Rapunzel spoke up again. "Ok, please be careful."
Kairi nodded to Rapunzel as she went to the balcony that leads to her room. She knew that would be a safe spot for her and she would watch Kairi to make sure she is ok.

Gothel spoke up again. "Well Kairi. What are going to do now that Rapunzel and your friends won't be here to cheer you on?" she asked mocking Kairi.
"Shut up!" Kairi exclaimed before she and Gothel charged at each other and locked swords with each other.
They stayed locked for a brief moment before clashing their swords in an intense sword fight. They continued to clash their swords for a few moments before Gothel disappeared and reappeared behind Kairi and hit her hard from behind.
Kairi grunted in pain and rolled on the floor before rolling on her back. She looked up and to her horror Gothel was charging at her again and was about to slash her sword at Kairi while still on the ground.
Kairi was quick to react and she rolled over dodging Gothel's sword. She quickly stood up and hit Gothel hard with her blade sending her rolling to on the ground.
Gothel got up and she and Kairi glared at each other again. "Not bad. But I was just warming up!" Gothel exclaimed as she threw a dark slash from her sword at Kairi who did a cartwheel dodging the blast.
"Light!" Kairi fired a blast of light at Gothel but she managed to block the blast with her dark sword.
"Darkness!" Gothel exclaimed as she threw a ball of darkness from her hand at Kairi but she countered it with another blast of light.
The two continued to throw their powers at each other either dodging them or blocking them. They did however got hit by some of the balls of light and darkness but they didn't cause that much pain.
"You're finished!" Kairi exclaimed as she charged at Gothel and unleashed an Ars Arcanum combo on her giving her a good amount of hits. After the final hit of the combo Gothel became angry. "Dark Thunder!" She exclaimed as she fired dark thunder at Kairi.
Kairi didn't react fast enough and was hit by a dark bolt knocking her on the ground. Gothel jumped at Kairi and tried to slash her with her sword but Kairi managed to block the attack and lock her blade with Gothel's sword.
"Not bad for a little girl." Gothel mocked her.
"I'm not as little as you think!" Kairi exclaimed before swiping her legs at Gothel's feet tripping her and making her fall to the ground.
Kairi quickly got up and got to a safe distance before Gothel got up and threw multiple dark blasts at her which she dodged and blocked all of them.
"Take this!" Kairi exclaimed before she unleashed Sonic Blade on Gothel successfully hitting her every time.
After the final hit in Sonic Blade, Gothel got very mad at Kairi. "That's enough!" She exclaimed before she charged at Kairi again. When Gothel got to Kairi she furiously slashed her sword at her. She did block some hits but she also got hit by a few slashes.
Kairi blocked another hit and pushed Gothel out of her way. "Fire!" Kairi exclaimed as she shot a fire spell at Gothel hitting her.
"You're mine!" Gothel exclaimed as she unleashed dark slashes from her sword but Kairi dodged all of them.
"Freeze!" Kairi exclaimed as she shot a freeze spell at Gothel hitting her again.
After hitting Gothel with freeze Kairi charged at her again and unleashed a combo move on her before sending her in the air. Kairi jumped in the air and unleashed Ragnarok on Gothel. Kairi was right on target and the power balls managed to hit Gothel.
When Gothel landed she disappeared in darkness again. Kairi looked around desperately to see where she is.
She continued to look for her when suddenly Gothel reappeared behind Kairi and unleashed her own combo on her. Kairi was hit by all of the hits and on the final hit she was thrown right into one of the walls of the tower.
"Kairi!" Rapunzel shouted from her spot feeling worried about Kairi.
Kairi got up and looked at Rapunzel and showed her she was ok. Suddenly Rapunzel shouted to Kairi again "Kairi look out!"
Kairi saw that Gothel charged at her again and grabbed her by her throat choking her and she pinned her to the wall behind her.
Kairi began to suffocate due to the lack of air. "So you really think you can keep Rapunzel safe?" Gothel asked coldly.
"Look at you now. It doesn't look like your keeping your promise very well." Gothel said. "But don't you worry, once I'm threw with you I'll take good care of Rapunzel." She exclaimed raising her sword to strike Kairi down.
"Kairi!" Rapunzel shouted as she wrapped her hair on Gothel's hand and threw her away from Kairi sending her flying to the other side of the room.
Rapunzel ran to Kairi who was coughing and trying to regain her air. "Are you ok Kairi?!"
"I'm ok Rapunzel. Thank you." Kairi said to Rapunzel.
Kairi let out a gasp as Gothel got up and glowed in more darkness. "Oh no!" Kairi exclaimed pointing to Gothel.
"How dare you do that to your mother Rapunzel?!" Gothel exclaimed angrily at Rapunzel.
Rapunzel only glared back. "You! Are not! My mother!"
"Enough!" Gothel exclaimed as she threw a blast of darkness at Rapunzel.
"Rapunzel! Look out!" Kairi exclaimed as she pushed Rapunzel out of the way and destroyed the blast of darkness with her keyblade.
After destroying the dark blast Kairi charged at Gothel and locked swords with each other.
"Why won't you quit?!" Gothel asked angrily.
"Not until you're stopped and Rapunzel is safe!" Kairi exclaimed to Gothel.
While Kairi and Gothel were locking swords Gothel used a free hand to charge a dark blast. Then to Kairi's surprise Gothel unlocked swords and used her free hand to blast Kairi hard sending her flying to the floor on her back.
"Kairi!" Rapunzel exclaimed worried about Kairi.
Kairi looked up at Gothel and had a little bit of fear in her as she saw Gothel charging a dark blast on her sword.
"It's time to put an end to this." Gothel said coldly before throwing her dark blast at Kairi to finish her off.
"NO!" Rapunzel exclaimed as she threw herself in front of the blast trying to protect Kairi. The blast hit Rapunzel and she fell to the floor hard.
"Rapunzel!" Kairi exclaimed as she got up and ran to Rapunzel. "Are you ok?!" Kairi asked worried about Rapunzel.
"Look what you've done Kairi." Gothel coldly said as Kairi and Rapunzel looked at her. "You allowed Rapunzel to get hurt after promising to keep her safe."
"She jumped in front of me because she was willing to risk her life to save mine!" Kairi exclaimed.
"Yes. But she still got hurt and you seemed to brake your little promise." Gothel said coldly.
"If only you hadn't interfered and allowed me to keep her, none of this would have happened." Gothel coldly said. "Now Kairi, you've left me no choice. Heartless, restrain them!"
After the command a horde of heartless appeared around the girls and they were both scared. Kairi started to slash at the heartless to protect Rapunzel but there were too many to fight off. The heartless began to overwhelm Kairi and then they restrained the girls making them unable to fight back against their hold. "No! No! No!" The girls exclaimed but the heartless wrapped their lanky hands around their mouths to keep them quiet.
Gothel then got up and put the girl's hands behind their backs and locked their wrists in chains. After that she put gags on the girls' mouths to keep them quiet. Kairi couldn't do anything, especially use her keyblade since her wrists were shackled together behind her back.
After she was finished Gothel looked at them coldly. "Now, that should put you girls in your place. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a deal to complete."
Gothel turned her back to the girls and they felt scared, not liking where this is going at all. Their thinking ceased as Gothel spoke up.
"Master Xehanort." Gothel said making Kairi let out a sharp gasp of horror, recognizing that name.
A dark portal opened and an image appeared. That image was Master Xehanort.
"Ah Gothel. Good to hear from you." Xehanort said.
"Yes. I have good news." Gothel said. "Rapunzel and Kairi are in my grasp, as I promised."
Xehanort saw Kairi shackled and gaged with Rapunzel next to her and smirked at their looks of fear. "Excellent Gothel! You've done well. Now bring Kairi to me."
Gothel let out an evil grin on her face before speaking up. "Yes. That was our agreement. Bring you Kairi and I get to keep Rapunzel, my new dark powers and use them for my desires."
"However, it occurred to me that I have everything I need right here in my grasp." Gothel said. "And now that I have all that I need right here… I wonder what use I have for you."
Xehanort was taken completely off guard by what Gothel is doing and then it turned to anger. "Gothel! What is the meaning of this?! Don't you dare betray me like this!"
"That's my idea Xehanort. I have what I need, and now I no longer need you." Gothel coldly said.
"Gothel! I would reconsider your current course!" Xehanort said angrily.
"End of discussion! I will keep Rapunzel and Kairi to myself and I no longer need you! Goodbye!" Gothel exclaimed before making the dark portal disappear ending communications between Xehanort and Gothel.
Gothel turned back to the girls who looked very scared. "Hope you girls make yourselves at home, because you'll both be here forever."
"But don't worry, I have a feeling your heroes will come to save you. If they do, I'll be waiting." Gothel coldly said before walking away.
Kairi and Rapunzel looked at each other frighteningly. They then let out a few tears from their eyes. They felt very scared and they needed Sora Eugene, Donald and Goofy now more than ever.
"Sora. Please help us." Kairi thought to herself as she and Rapunzel waited desperately for their friends to rescue them.
Meanwhile, at the prison the guards continued to push Sora, Donald, Goofy and Eugene to the execution site. Sora and friends desperately thought of a plan to escape. They know the girls are in trouble and there must be a way to escape so they can rescue them.
The guards continued to push everyone when Sora saw a purple ceramic unicorn on one of the wall features of the hall they were in.
"A unicorn?" Sora thought to himself.
Everyone was about to go to the next corridor when suddenly the door in front of them slammed shut as well as all the other doors around them.
"What's going on?!" Sora thought to himself.
"What's this?!" The captain exclaimed turning to the door in front of him. "Open up!" He exclaimed again before the little slide door opened revealing one of the thugs from the Snuggly Duckling.
"What's the password?" The thug asked.
"What?" The captain asked.
"Nope." The thug said.
"Open this door!" The captain exclaimed banging on the door.
"Not even close." The thug said chuckling a bit.
"You have three seconds." The captain said before counting down. "One!"
Suddenly, one of the guards by Eugene was hooked away and the other guard by him was whisked away.
"Two…" The captain said.
Then the other guards standing on Sora, Donald and Goofy's side were stealthily dragged away.
"Three…" The captain said before turning around and saw that all the guards by Sora, Donald, Goofy and Eugene were gone. Sora, Donald, Goofy and Eugene waved to the captain who let out a gasp seeing that they are free.
He continued to stare at them puzzled when Attila hits him with a frying pan from behind.
"Alright!" Sora, Donald and Goofy exclaimed cheerfully.
"Frying pans! Who knew, right?" Eugene said.
"I know Eugene! Best idea ever!" Goofy exclaimed.
Suddenly, 3 bangs came from behind. Then several guards burst through the door and charged at everyone.
"Run! Run!" Sora exclaimed as everyone ran to try to get away from the guards. A wild chase began in the prison with Sora, Donald and Goofy running behind Eugene.
The four ran by a corner when Ulf the mime stopped them and began to do mimes to mislead the guards. He looked to the right and they all saw big Vlad roar and charge at the guards which scares them out of their wits before getting pummeled by Vlad.
After that Ulf mimed a shocked face.
Everyone continued to run through the halls with Sora, Donald and Goofy taking out any guards standing in their way with their weapons.
Everyone made it to the prison courtyard when they saw an army of guards run towards them from the stairs in front of them.
"There's too many of them!" Donald exclaimed.
"Over here!" The hooked thug exclaimed leading everyone to stand on the ends of four wooden carts.
"Head down." Hook said.
"Head down." The four said putting their heads down.
"Arms in." Hook said.
"Arms in." The four said putting their arms in.
"Knees apart." Hook said.
"Knees apart." The four said getting their knees apart before looking confused. "Knees apart?"
Oblivious to the four friends, Vlad and three huge thugs jumped from a ledge and fell to the carts.
"Why would we need to keep our knees apart?" Sora asked before the thugs landed on their carts and launched them in the air making them yell.
As they flew in the air they kept their heads down, arms in and knees apart and they flipped backwards. They closed their eyes and braced for their landing.
When they landed, they didn't land hard on the ground, they landed on Maximus and three other horses.
The four opened their eyes and saw the horses below them.
"Max?" The four asked in awe.
"You brought them here?" Eugene asked referring to the thugs. Maximus nodded yes.
"You brought these three horses for us?" Sora asked and Maximus nodded yes again.
"Thank you." Eugene said appreciating Max for what he has done.
"No really Max, thank you." Sora said appreciating max
"Uh, I feel maybe this whole time, we were just misunderstanding one another." Eugene said.
"Yeah, maybe we went off to the wrong start." Sora said. "And now we're…"
Maximus looked at everyone sternly. "Yeah, your right we should go." Eugene said getting the message.
Suddenly, guards carrying crossbows burst through the door behind everyone and started firing arrows.
"Let's go guys!" Sora exclaimed.
"Yah! Yah!" Sora, Donald and Goofy commanded their horses and everyone ran along the walls Eugene leading the way dodging the arrows in the process
Everyone continued to run before more guards from another path along the walls charged at everyone. They were getting closer to the edge of the walls. "Max!" Everyone exclaimed.
Before everyone could say something else Maximus and the other three horses jumped from the edge and flew from the wall to a roof of a village house. "AAAHHH!" Everyone screamed as they flew through the air.
They landed on the roof and slid down it before jumping off the roof and flying to the ground.
After landing, the four ran across the road to the entrance of the kingdom. "Okay Max, let's see how fast you can run." Eugene said before Maximus took off at great speed.
"Wow. Max can run pretty fast." Goofy said.
"No kidding." Donald said.
"Come on guys! Let's stay focused!" Sora exclaimed. "Follow them!"
Sora, Donald and Goofy's horses took off at great speed and chased after Eugene and Maximus.
The four made it out of the kingdom and were running through the forest to Rapunzel's tower. However, while they were riding the sky was becoming covered with dark clouds as if a storm was coming in.
The four continued to ride their horses when suddenly, a horde of heartless appeared in their path. "Heartless!" Donald and Goofy exclaimed.
"Weapons out now!" Sora exclaimed as he, Donald and Goofy brought their weapons out an attacked the heartless while riding their horses.
While, he was riding his horse, Sora was slashing heartless and casting fire, freeze and thunder spells at the heartless so their path can be cleared.
Donald was using his staff to cast battle spells at the heartless making them disappear and clear their path.
Goofy was using his shield to hit the heartless and protect his friends whenever the heartless attacks them from their blind side.
The three managed to clear all the heartless in their way and kept Eugene and Maximus safe from harm.
They continued to ride through the forest until they found the vines which lead to the path to the tower. "There's the vines! Let's go!"
The four rode through the vines and through the cave. The four made it through the cave and Sora spotted the tower up ahead. "There's the tower!" Sora exclaimed.
When the four got to the tower they got off their horses and began to run to it when suddenly more heartless appeared in front of them. Sora, Donald and Goofy brought their weapons out again before Sora turned to Eugene. "Eugene, get somewhere safe, we'll handle this." Sora said.
"But I wanna help!" Eugene pleaded.
"No! You don't have a weapon this time. Just go, keep the horses safe." Sora said.
"Ok." Eugene said as he got to cover.
Sora turned to Donald and Goofy. "You guys ready for this?" He asked.
"Always Sora." Donald said determined.
"Until the end." Goofy said determined.
"Let's do this!" Sora said. "Attack!"
The three charged at the heartless and a huge battle began.
(Battle music plays)
Sora began to attack some heartless next to him and was able to take them out with a few hits as well as some powerful hits and magic spells such as fire, ice and light.
Donald was busy fighting the heartless by casting fire, ice and thunder spells at the heartless and guards.
Goofy was fighting off heartless and guards and using his shield to block blows from the heartless and guards on him and his friends.
Sometimes he would do his famous Goofy spin attack on the enemies which gave him an advantage.
The heartless they were fighting were not so powerful ones, but suddenly, more powerful types appeared and were giving the trio a harder time to battle.
Three heartless unleashed powerful blows on the trio sending them flying across the ground.
"Ok that was powerful." Goofy said.
"What do we do?" Donald asked.
"I got it guys! Let's use drive forms!" Sora suggested.
"Alright!" Donald and Goofy shouted.
The trio got up and continued to fight the heartless.
While he was fighting Sora turned to Goofy. "Ready Goofy?"
"Ready!" Goofy shouted.
"Valor Form!" Sora exclaimed as he entered Valor Form, wearing his red clothes and holding Oathkeeper in the other hand.
Sora charged at the heartless and dealt many powerful combos with this keyblades making the heartless around him disappear. He turned to his right and saw Donald was struggling with the heartless. He quickly ran to him and performed another combo with his keyblades.
The heartless disappeared and Sora exited Valor form and Goofy reappeared and Oathkeeper disappeared.
More heartless appeared. "Time for Wisdom Form. Ready Donald?" Sora asked.
"I sure am!" Donald exclaimed.
"Let's go!" Sora exclaimed as he entered Wisdom Form wearing his blue clothes.
Sora moved around the battlefield casting powerful spells at the heartless while protecting Goofy. In a little while, the heartless disappeared and Sora exited Wisdom Form and Donald reappeared.
More heartless appeared. "These guys just keep coming!" Donald exclaimed.
"Then I guess it's time for Master Form. Ready guys?"
"Ready!" Donald and Goofy exclaimed.
"Master Form!" Sora exclaimed as he entered Master Form wearing his yellow clothes and holding Kingdom Key in his hands while levitating Oathkeeper.
Sora charged at all the heartless and performed very powerful combos and casted many spells on the heartless all whole in the air.
In a few moments all the heartless disappeared and Sora exited Master Form and Donald and Goofy reappeared.
The trio started to feel a little worn out from the battle. "Whew, I feel a little worn out." Donald said catching his breath.
"Me too." Goofy said catching his breath.
"We can't give up guys." Sora encouraged his friends. "The girls are in trouble and we have to save them."
Suddenly, more heartless appeared, but they appeared to be more powerful types than the last ones they fought.
"Oh great! There's more!" Donald said.
"The heartless must be coming from Gothel's darkness." Goofy said. "They must be coming because Kairi's in danger.
"You might be right Goofy." Sora said.
"How do we fight them?" Donald asked.
"I'll take them." Sora said.
"How?" Donald and Goofy asked.
"By using my new keyblade transformation abilities." Sora said.
Donald and Goofy got excited. Sora was going to use his new abilities for the first time and this was a perfect time to support him "Go for it Sora!" Donald and Goofy exclaimed supporting Sora.
"Got it guys!" Sora said as he ran to the heartless.
When he got there, he concentrated and did his first transformation. His keyblade transformed into blaster pistols and he began to fire rapid fire blasts as the heartless which dealt a bit of damage.
His next transformation was a powerful bazooka which he used to fire explosive shots at the heartless dealing greater damage to the heartless. He fired many blasts at the heartless making a few disappear.
His next transformation was two keyblade axes which he held in both hands and he threw them at the heartless making a few more of them disappear in the process.
His last transformation he used on the last heartless, was a large medieval sword. He then concentrated and then he began to glow in light. "I summon the power of light!" Sora exclaimed.
"Power of light! Final strike!" Sora exclaimed as he jumped in the air and did a very powerful slash from his sword which finished all the remaining heartless. He landed on the ground and his keyblade returned to normal form.
Everyone didn't see any more heartless appear so they felt that their battle was over.
(Battle music ends)
"Great job Sora!" Goofy exclaimed happily.
"You were great!" Donald exclaimed.
"You sure were Sora." Eugene said as he came out of his hiding spot knowing it was safe to do so.
"Thanks guys." Sora said. "Now come on. We got to save Kairi and Rapunzel.
Everyone ran to the tower and looked up to the window. "Rapunzel?" They called out but there was no answer.
"Rapunzel! Let down your hair!" Everyone called out again but no one answered.
Eugene began to climb up the tower only to hear the window's doors open. Then Rapunzel's hair flew out of the window and fell to the ground.
"Yes!" Everyone cheered as they began to climb the hair, Eugene up front, Sora below him, Donald below him and Goofy last.
'So glad Donald didn't complain about climbing this time.' Goofy thought to himself.
Everyone made it to the window and climbed in. "Rapunzel, I thought I'd never see you again."
"Kairi, I thought I'd lose you again." Sora said.
When Sora and Eugene looked forward they gasped in horror. They saw the girls gagged up and chained at their wrists behind their backs.
"Rapunzel! Kairi!" Sora exclaimed in horror when suddenly he felt a sharp pain on his side. "Ahh!" He screamed before falling to the ground in pain.
What happened was Gothel snuck up behind him and stabbed Sora in the back.
"Sora!" The girls exclaimed in muffed up voices.
"Sora!" Eugene exclaimed as Gothel stabbed him next making him fall to the ground in pain.
"Eugene!" The girls exclaimed in muffed up voices
Donald and Goofy entered the tower and saw the girls gagged and chained at their wrists behind their backs and Sora and Eugene on the floor in pain.
"Sora! Eugene!" Donald and Goofy exclaimed in horror.
Donald saw the sword that hurt his friends.
"You witch!" Donald exclaimed as he charged at Gothel only to be blasted by her dark powers Goofy along with him. Donald and Goofy hit the wall behind them hard and they fell to the ground in pain. Gothel then used her dark powers to restrain Donald and Goofy in dark vines who cried out in pain as the vines pulled their limbs.
Gothel then looked at the girls. "Now look what you two have done." She said coldly.
The girls spoke in muffed up voices before Gothel spoke up again. "Oh don't worry girls. Our secrets will die with them." She said as she walked to the girls who were trying desperately to break out of their chains to get to Sora and Eugene who suffered life threatening wounds.
Gothel got behind the girls. "And as for us. We are going where no one will ever find you two again!" She unlocked the chains and started to drag the girls to the secret pass. "And as for your precious Princess of Heart Sora, I decided to keep her as my prisoner with Rapunzel forever!"
"Kairi! No!" Sora said painfully as he helplessly watched Kairi and Rapunzel be dragged by Gothel.
The girls began to fight Gothel's grasp with their lives. Pascal saw this and went to stop Gothel only to be kicked away by her.
Gothel started to get very agitated by the girls who continued to fight her. "Girls really! Enough already! STOP FIGHTING ME!"
The gags on the girls' mouths came off. "No!" The girls exclaimed in unison.
"We won't stop for every minute of the rest of our lives!" Rapunzel exclaimed.
"We're not going to stop! We will keep fighting! We won't stop trying to get away from you!" Kairi exclaimed.
Rapunzel and Kairi caught their breaths before Rapunzel spoke up again. "But if you let me save them, I will go with you."
"No! No Rapunzel!" Eugene and Sora said weakly.
"If you let Rapunzel heal Sora and Eugene…" Kairi spoke up. "I'll go with you too. I'll be your prisoner with Rapunzel forever." She said. She didn't want to do it but she was willing to sacrifice her own life to save Sora's
"Kairi! (cough) No!" Sora said weakly.
"We will never run away. We will never try to escape." Rapunzel said. "Just let me heal them and you, Kairi, and I will be together. Forever just like you want. I promise."
Gothel was silent before Kairi spoke up. "Please, just let Rapunzel heal them."
Gothel was silent but decided to let the girls go so Rapunzel can heal Sora and Eugene. But incase if the two had any ideas, she shackled their wrists in chains. "In case if you get any ideas about following us." Gothel said coldly as she walked away and let the girls get to them.
"Eu-Euegene!" Rapunzel exclaimed as she got to Eugene.
"Sora!" Kairi exclaimed as she got to Sora.
Sora and Eugene coughed and winced in pain.
The girls opened their shirts to see their wounds which made the girls uneasy.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." Rapunzel apologized to Sora and Eugene.
"Everything is gonna be ok guys. Hang in there." Kairi said.
"No Rapunzel-"Eugene said.
"I promise you. You have to trust me-"Rapunzel said.
"Kairi (cough) no." Sora said weakly.
"Everything's going to be alright Sora. Breathe slowly." Kairi said trying to get Sora to breathe slowly and gently.
"We can't let you do this girls." Sora said before wincing in pain again.
"But we can't let you two die." Rapunzel said.
Eugene coughed before speaking again. "But if you do this…" Eugene said before Rapunzel shushed him.
"…Then you will die." Eugene said to Rapunzel.
"Kairi." Sora said before Kairi shushed him. "I can't let you do this. I've lost you once, I can't lose you again."
"You were willing to lay your own life down to save mine before." Kairi said. "I'm now willing to sacrifice my life to save yours."
"But Kairi." Sora said before Kairi shushed him again.
"It's gonna be ok Sora. Please trust me."
"Rapunzel." Eugene said before Rapunzel shushed him again.
"It's gonna be alright Eugene. Please trust me." Rapunzel said.
Those words forced Sora and Eugene to smile. Rapunzel was about to sing the incantation before Sora and Eugene spoke up.
"Rapunzel wait." Eugene said.
"Kairi wait." Sora said.
They were silent before Sora and Kairi and Rapunzel and Eugene approached their faces to kiss. When they were close enough Sora shouted "Eugene now!"
On that command Eugene took a glass shard and sliced Rapunzel's hair shocking the girls.
"Eugene, (what?)" Rapunzel said taken completely off guard as her hair on her head turned brown.
"Sora, (what?!)" Kairi exclaimed in horror.
Gothel was completely horrified. "NO!" she exclaimed.
All of Rapunzel's hair began to turn brown and lose all of its power along its length. Gothel tried to wrap herself in the remaining gold hair but to no avail "No, no, no… No!"
"What have you done?!" Gothel saw on her hand that she is losing her dark power and she is aging. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Her face aged and her hair turned white. "NO!"
Gothel ran to the broken mirror to see herself in the reflection. When she saw her as an old woman she was purely horrified. "No!" She put her hood over her head to not look at her hideous face. Little did she know she was backing up to the open window.
The dark vines wrapping Donald and Goofy disappeared and they grabbed a length of Rapunzel's hair.
"Pull Goofy!" Donald exclaimed as they pulled the hair in a tight straight line tripping Gothel and causing her to fall over the edge and out of the tower. The two girls stretched their arms out as if they were trying to stop Gothel from falling.
Gothel continued to fall down to the ground outside the tower. However, by the time she reached the ground, she vanished. All that was left of her was her dark cloak.
The girls caught their breaths after seeing Gothel fall out of the window. They focused on their attention back to Sora and Eugene who looked like they were dying. Kairi and Rapunzel felt very scared and worried about Sora and Eugene, Donald and Goofy felt the same.
"No, no, no, no, no Eugene." Rapunzel said desperately as she brought Eugene's head up.
"Sora! No! Please no!" Kairi exclaimed desperately as she brought Sora's head up.
"Sora! Eugene! Please don't go!" Donald said desperately.
"Look at me Sora. I'm right here, please stay with me." Kairi said desperately as she felt tears beginning to well up in her eyes.
"Eugene! Sora! Please stay with us!" Goofy exclaimed to his dying friends.
"Please stay with me Eugene." Rapunzel said as she picked up the brown hair and tried to sing the incantation but to no avail.
"Please Sora! You can't die!" Kairi exclaimed before turning to Donald. "Donald, you have to try to heal them!"
"Heal please!" Donald exclaimed desperately and tried to use his heal spell but to everyone's shock and horror it dint work.
"It's not working! Wh-Why isn't it working?!" Donald asked feeling very scared.
"It's- it's too late." Sora said very weakly.
"No!" Kairi exclaimed desperately. "It can't be too late."
"It's ok Kairi." Sora said as he put a hand on her cheek. "Its better this way knowing you and Rapunzel are safe."
"No Sora! Don't say that!" Kairi said. "I can't lose you!"
Sora let out a sigh before he and Eugene spoke to their true loves.
"Rapunzel." Eugene started.
"What?" Rapunzel asked.
"Kairi." Sora started.
"What?" Kairi asked.
"You were my dream." Eugene said.
Rapunzel felt more tears well up in her eyes. "And you were mine." She said sobbing.
"You are my destiny." Sora said to Kairi.
Kairi began to sob. "And you are mine." She said sadly.
Then, after saying those words, Sora and Eugene took their last breaths before falling lifeless.
Everyone there saw this and became completely heartbroken and devastated inside. Donald and Goofy felt they just lost their friends which broke their hearts. Kairi and Rapunzel were the most heartbroken because they just lost their true loves.
"Sora… Please don't leave me. Sora please." Kairi said before sobbing again. "I love you."
Everyone continued to look at the lifeless Sora and Eugene before Kairi began to sing.
"Flower gleam and glow. Let your power shine. Make the clock reverse. Bring back what once was mine." Kairi sadly sang the magical incantation which everyone recognized.
Rapunzel joined her and they sang together. "Heal what has been hurt. Change the Fates' design. Save what has been lost. Bring back what once was mine, what once was mine." The girls sang together before completely bursting to tears, Donald and Goofy followed them.
A tear drop fell onto Sora and Eugene's faces as the girls continued to sob.
Suddenly, the tears went into Sora and Eugene and then they started to glow in a bright yellow light. A spectacular light show filled the room and everyone especially Kairi and Rapunzel were amazed at what they were seeing.
"Woah." Donald and Goofy said in amazement.
The light continued to flow throughout the room when what looked like a golden flower appeared on Eugene and a golden heart appeared on Sora. Then the flower and the heart disappeared and their wounds closed.
Suddenly, Sora and Eugene began to stir causing everyone to gasp.
"Rapunzel?" Eugene said weakly.
"Kairi?" Sora said weakly.
"Eugene?" Rapunzel asked not believing what she was seeing.
"Sora?" Kairi asked not believing what she was seeing.
"Did I ever tell you I got a thing for brunettes?" Eugene asked Rapunzel.
"Did I ever tell you that you have the most beautiful singing voice ever?" Sora asked Kairi.
Kairi and Rapunzel squealed in pure happiness and threw themselves onto their true loves.
"Eugene!" Rapunzel exclaimed happily.
"Sora!" Kairi exclaimed happily.
The couples then kissed each other on the lips and enjoyed this moment very much. When they pulled away Donald and Goofy ran over and tackled everyone.
"Sora! Eugene!" The two exclaimed happily.
Everyone got up from the ground and did a big group hug, they were so happy that everything was now alright.
Everyone pulled away from the hug. "How did… how did you do it?" Donald asked still awestruck.
"Rapunzel must still have some of her power inside of her." Goofy answered.
"And I think I saved Sora thanks to my heart of pure light." Kairi said.
"Maybe it wasn't just Rapunzel's power or your pure heart Kairi." Sora said. "I think the strong bond of love we have for each other helped save our lives."
"Yeah." Rapunzel said. "I think your right Sora."
"Love is such a wonderful thing isn't it?" Eugene asked making everyone laugh with him.
"Well Rapunzel." Donald started. "What are you going to do now? Your hair is short and brown and you don't have your powers anymore."
"Well I guess there's only one way to find out." Rapunzel said making everyone laugh with her.
Sora then spoke up with a bright smile. "Come on Rapunzel. It's time to take you home. Your real home."
After that, everyone climbed down the tower, much to Donald's relive since it was the last time he will climb the tower and mounted on the horses. Rapunzel riding with Eugene on Maximus, Kairi riding with Sora on his horse and Donald and Goofy riding their horses. Together, everyone rode through the forest in the now sunny, beautiful weather, on their way to the Kingdom of Corona, where Rapunzel truly belongs.
