Chapter 13: End of the world
Once the gang warped to Traverse Town, the Tamers gathered their friends, then entered the Small House where Leon said, "Tell me what happened."
Takato and Sora explained everything then Leon said, "So the darkness is flowing out of that Keyhole…"
Aerith then said, "No wonder there are more and more Heartless everywhere. The only way to stop them is-"
Sora then held up his Keyblade and said, "Seal the Keyhole, right?"
Takato then summoned both of his Keyblades and said, "We can handle that."
Yuffie then asked, "Whoa! Where did you get those?"
Takato then said, "When I gave my life for Sora, it was an act of true courage, a true knights sacrifice, and when Kairi's light turned me back to normal, I pulled out these two Keyblades. And with these, we'll be able to seal that Keyhole!"
Leon then said, "Maybe. But no one knows what will happen once it's sealed."
Jeri then asked, "What do you mean, Leon?"
Sora then said, "Well, we can't just stay here. We have to do something. We've got a friend back there."
Leon then said, "That's right. You have one more friend to worry about. Riku's Keyblade must have been born of the captive princess's hearts- just like that Keyhole you saw. Of course, without Kairi's heart, it remained incomplete. Once that Keyblade was destroyed, the princess's hearts should have been freed. Don't worry, Sora. If anyone can save your friend, you can."
Takato nodded then he said, "Yeah, and you can guarantee that I'll cut them all down to size!"
Yuffie then asked, "So, what are your new Keyblades called, Takato."
Takato looked at both of his Keyblades, and closed his eyes, then he opened them up and held up the Keyblade in his right arm and said, "This one, is called, "The Bonds of Hazard" and the other one is called, "Zero's Vaccine Reverse" these two Keyblades are the literal weapons of the Digital World."
Kairi then asked, "What do you mean by that, brother?"
Takato looked towards his little sister and said, "The world I grew up in, I had to protect it and another world, a digital world. In this Digiworld, there exists two powerful forces, the ultimate virus, and the ultimate vaccine. These two forces are called the Digital Hazard, the most destructive and dangerous force in the Digiworld, it's existence alone is a major threat to the Digiworld. We should know, we've seen it for ourselves. And while I haven't really seen what power the Zero Unit has, I know for a fact that it is the exact opposite of the hazard, where the hazard corrupts, the Zero Unit heals."
Rika then said, "In truth, we don't know much about the Zero Unit, just that its power is the only thing that can destroy the Digital Hazard."
Yuffie then asked, "Wait! Takato, you said that Kairi's your sister, does that make you a…"
Takato asked, "A Prince? Yes. I am the prince of Hollow Bastion. Next in line to become the king of the great world. But…"
Leon then said, "But you first have to take care of your father, right?"
Takato shook his head and said, "I know my father, he was a wise and powerful, yet respectable man. But…"
Yuffie looked him and asked, "But…?"
Takato looked up and said, "But that man, he may be calling himself "Ansem" but he is not the same as my father. Sora, could you let me see the first of Ansem's notes, please."
Sora handed Takato the first note and then he read it out loud, "Most of my life has been dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. That knowledge has guarded this world well. Not a soul doubts that. I am blessed with my people's smiles and respect.
But though I am called a sage, there are things I do not understand. I believe darkness sleeps in every heart, no matter how pure. Given the chance, the smallest drop can spread and swallow the heart. I have witnessed it many times. Darkness… Darkness in every heart. How is it born? How does it come to affect us so? As ruler of this world, I must find the answers.
I must find them before the world is lost to those taken by the darkness."
Everyone was silent for a moment while Takato returned the note to Sora, after a moment of silence, Takato said, "I don't know what is going on, but somehow, I think that, no, I know that my father and this "Ansem seeker of darkness" are two different people."
Sora then asked, "How can you be so sure, Takato?"
Takato looked at the ceiling and said, "Because, I knew my father, and I knew him well, maybe even better then his people knew him. Kairi, you remember him too, don't you?"
Kairi shook her head and said, "Not everything, no. My memories are a bit, fuzzy, to say the least."
Sora then asked, "How's that possible?"
Ryo then said, "Most likely, it's because Takato's older then Kairi, and while he didn't remember anything when he was living in Shinjuku, he slowly regained his memories on his journey, and being in the castle, he regained all of his old memories, and because he is older then Kairi, it allowed him to remember more because he had longer time to memorize his past."
Takato nodded and said, "Right. But now, now we have this "Ansem" to deal with, my father was a great man, and he knew that darkness was a dangerous thing, but now…"
Rika then said, "Now it's time to take out the seeker of darkness."
Takato nodded but Leon said, "If you guys are going back, you should make sure that you go and see Cid, he should know of a way to help you guys."
Takato nodded then he remembered, "Right, thanks everyone. Sora, let's head to the Fairy Godmother, and get the summon stone taken care of."
Sora nodded and said, "The two of us will be right back, we won't be gone long."
Everyone nodded then the two boys left the small house, they were soon attacked by four Darkballs and a Guardian, Takato then decided to fight with only his Bonds of Hazard, the thing packed a real punch, it was like using his ClawBlades, but with faster movements, he was also able to use some of the moves that the others could use as well, like Strike Raid, Ars Arcanum, Sonic Blade, and all those other moves.
It felt good to be able to fight like a knight again. Then after a few short minutes, the two boys defeated all of the Heartless, then they headed to Merlin's place, once there, the two boys showed the Blue Fairy the Fireglow, and she asked, "Oh, another summon gem? Let's help this little one. Here we go! Bibbity bobbity boo!"
***Obtained Summon Mushu***
The boys thanked the fairy for her help, then the two boys returned to the small house and Takato said, "Alright, time to go and see Cid."
Kazu then said, "Oh, yeah! Looks like it's time for The Tamers to head off!"
Takato then said, "No. Just no, Kazu. Only me, Hazzardmon, Rika, Henry, Sora, Donald and Goofy will be going. The rest of you stay here with Leon and the others and protect the town, and my sister, and Kazu, don't even think about trying anything, or else I'll have Rika remind you of why she is still referred to as the most feared tamer of all of us."
All of the Tamers, besides Takato, Rika and Henry, shivered and Kazu said, "You wouldn't really do that, would you?"
Takato didn't say anything, but everyone heard the sound of knuckles cracking, everyone then turned to Rika and saw that she was the one cracking her knuckles, while she had a devilish smirk on her face, then she said, "Oh, don't worry, he wouldn't, but that doesn't mean I have to listen."
Kazu then started to back up, then he turned to Takato and said, "Hey, Chumly, think you can control your girlfriend, please?"
Suzie then walked to her brother and said, "Henry, how have you been doing, big brother?"
Henry looked at his little sister and said, "I've been doing all right. I still can't believe that Takato and Kairi are siblings."
Then Terriermon said, "And I can't believe that Takato's a prince! Think he would get some massive amounts of gold and jewelry, that he would share with me?"
Then Takato said, "Not a chance, Terriermon. Besides, I'm not going to be taking up the crown until after we defeat Ansem."
Sora nodded and said, "He's right. Now then, Donald, Goofy, Henry, Rika, Hazzardmon, Takato, let's go and see Cid."
Everyone nodded then Takato led them to the First District. Once there, they made their way to where Cid was waiting. Takato then approached Cid and said, "Cid, we need to go back to Hollow Bastion."
Cid then said, "I don't think I can let you do that, kids. The Heartless there are multiplying by the minute. They'd eat your ship up."
Sora then asked, "Then what can we do?"
Takato then said, "Yeah, we can't just sit here and do nothing! So, what can we do?"
Cid then said, "Simple. Go around 'em instead of through. Install a new navigation gummi and take a new route."
Sora then asked, "A new gummi? From where?"
Cid then said, "The secret waterway. When I came here 9 years ago, I stored it there in case I ever needed it. Never thought a couple of kids would be the ones to use it!"
Takato then said, "Thanks, Cid, for everything. Come on guys, lets go get it!"
Sora and the others nodded, then they headed down to alleyway and after fighting off a couple of Wizards, that were in their way, they made it to the secret water way. Once inside, they saw that Kairi had gotten down there, when they approached her, she said, "What a mysterious mural… It's almost hypnotising."
Everyone looked at the mural and saw that it was of a rising sun then Takato asked, "Hey, Sora, wasn't that a picture of a crescent moon before?"
Sora nodded and then he approached the mural, and when he did, the Navi-Gummi floated out of the mural, turning it back into a moon. It then floated down into Sora's hands.
***Obtained Navi-Gummi***
Sora then returned to Kairi and said, "Let's go back and join the others. We should rest up."
Kairi nodded and said, "Okay."
The gang then started to leave the waterway, the only one's that didn't move, were Sora, Kairi, and Takato. Kairi then said, "The light at the end of the tunnel…"
Sora then said, "Oh, your grandma's story, right?"
Takato and Kairi nodded and Kairi said, "That's right. We were together."
Sora then asked, "You know what's funny? We've looked everywhere for you, but you were with us all along. Finally, we're together, Kairi."
Takato nodded and said, "That's right, and no matter what, I will always be there, for the both of you, no matter what."
Sora nodded and said, "Now, it's time to get Riku back."
Kairi then asked, "You think it'll ever be the same again between us? Riku's lost his…"
Sora then said, "When we turned into Heartless, you saved us, remember? I was lost in the darkness. I couldn't find my way. As I stumbled through the darkness, I started forgetting things- my friends, who I was. The darkness almost swallowed me. But then, I heard a voice-your voice. You brought me back."
Takato nodded and said, "And while I seemed to be more like me, I wasn't losing my memories, but, instead I was losing what made me human, I was becoming a dragon, but I refused to fall deep into darkness, because you willingly lost your heart Sora, you didn't try to keep your sense of self, but because I gave my life to save both of you, I refused to lose anything, but I knew, that I would lose my being, and remain as a Heartless, but it was you, Kairi, your light, it helped me regain myself."
Kairi then said, "I didn't want to just forget about you, Sora, Takato. I couldn't."
Sora then said, "That's it! Our hearts are connected. And the light from our hearts broke through the darkness. I saw that light. I think that's what saved me."
Takato nodded and said, "Me too. No matter how deep the darkness, a light shines within."
Sora then said, "I guess it's more then just a fairy tale."
Kairi then said, "Well, let's go."
Then Takato and Sora said, "You can't go."
Kairi then asked, "Why not?"
Sora then said, "Because, it's way too dangerous."
Takato then said, "For another thing, you're my sister. And I won't let you run off into danger without being able to defend yourself."
Kairi then said, "Come on, Sora. We made it this far by sticking together. You can't go alone."
Takato then said, "He won't be alone, I'll be there, standing by his side, I'll make sure that he won't lose."
Sora then said, "Kairi, even if we're apart. We're not alone anymore. Right?"
Kairi then said, "I can't help?"
Sora then joked, "You'd kind of be in our way."
Takato then said, "And we don't want to see you get hurt."
Kairi laughed then said, "Okay. You guys win." Kairi then took Sora's hand and placed a star shaped object in his hand, then she said in a demanding voice, "Take this. It's my lucky charm. Be sure to bring it back to me."
Sora said, "Don't worry. I will."
Kairi then asked, "Promise?"
Sora nodded and said, "Promise."
Kairi then said, "Don't ever forget. Wherever you guys go, I'm always with you." Takato and Sora nodded.
***Sora Obtained Oathkeeper***
Takato then said, "Come on, let's go and see Cid."
Then, Sora, Rika, Henry, Takato, Hazzardmon, Donald and Goofy returned to the First District and showed the Gummi piece to Cid who said, "You found it? All right, I'll go fix up your ship." Then Cid walked away, a short time later, he came back and said, "All set! You guys can get going any time. Kids, I gotta say, I wish you lot didn't have to face all this danger."
Takato nodded and said, "Come on, let's go!"
Soon everyone arrived at the main exit of the world, where all of Takato's friends were there, as well as Kairi. Then Kairi said, "You two take care now, you hear me? Be safe, and bring Riku back."
Sora and Takato both nodded, then Kazu begged, "Come on, Chumly! Please let me come! Please?"
Takato then said, "No. You're not coming. You are to stay here and protect my sister. Jeri, if he misbehaves, try to keep him in check, all right?"
Jeri nodded then pulled out her Leo's Courage and said, "Don't worry, everyone will be in good hands, Takato."
Takato laughed and said, "Rika, have you been teaching Jeri how to be like you?"
Rika smirked and said, "Not completely like me, no. Just showing her how to be more, brave."
Takato nodded then said, "Well, this is it, guys. I hope that all of you remain safe and secure, when we return, we'll hopefully have defeated Ansem. Now then, let's go! Bye everyone, take care!"
Then the gang of seven left Traverse Town and arrived on the gummi ship. Once outside, one of the chipmunks said, "There's a new warp hole near Traverse Town."
Then the other one said, "I wonder where it leads…"
The gang then headed inside the warp hole, and after a long flight, and having to shoot down enemy ships, the gang finally arrived at Hollow Bastion, then Takato said, "Let's go."
Everyone nodded then they disembarked, and landed right back were they started last time, where they saw the Beast, Sora then walked up to him and asked, "Where's Belle?"
The Beast said, "Still in the castle."
Goofy worriedly asked, "Against her will?"
Beast then said, "No, I think she stayed for a reason. The other princesses are inside as well."
Donald said, "I wonder why?"
Sora then said, "Let's go ask them."
Beast then said, "You may need my strength. I'll go with you."
Takato nodded then said, "Come on, let's go."
Then the group of eight headed for the castle. Once they arrived at the lift calling station, Takato pressed the button hidden on the wall, and it called the lift, once they got on, they were brought to the castle gates. They then headed for the gates, but their path was blocked by Red Nocturnes and Wizards. After defeating the Heartless, the group of eight headed inside the castle.
Then Takato said, "Come on, if we're lucky, we'll find them in the library. Let's go!" And that is what the eight did, when they got into the library, they climbed the stairs, and found Belle looking through the books.
Beast then confronted Belle, and said, "Belle!" The two then hugged.
Then the others got up the stairs and Belle said, "You've all come to seal the Keyhole, right? Please be careful. The darkness is raging deep inside. We've been holding it back, but we can't hold out much longer."
Sora then said, "We'll take care of it."
Then Belle said, "This is for you, use it to face the darkness, as Beast has."
***Sora obtained Divine Rose***
Sora nodded, then the group went back to the entrance hall and made their way throughout the castle, and made their way to the chapel, fighting Heartless all the way through. But soon enough, they arrived at the chapel, where they saw the princesses, Takato and the others approached them and one who introduced herself as Cinderella said, "We have been waiting for you, Keyblade masters."
Takato asked, "Where's Ansem?"
Then Cinderella said, "Gone."
Then the other Princess, who was known as, Aurora said, "When the Keyhole appeared, darkness poured out of it. It swallowed Ansem, and he disappeared."
Cinderella said, "Though Ansem is gone, the flood of darkness hasn't stopped. We're working together to hold it back."
Aurora then said, "I cannot forget the look on his face. As the darkness engulfed him, he was smiling."
Then the group went to see the other three princesses who were, Alice, Jasmine, and Snow White. Jasmine then said, "Sora, Takato, please hurry! Darkness is pouring from the Keyhole."
Alice then said, "It's all we can do just to hold back the darkness."
Snow White then said, "I don't even know how long we can manage even that."
Rika then said, "Don't worry."
Sora then said, "We're on our way."
Snow White then said, "We're counting on you, Keyblade masters. In the mean time, we'll do what we can, too."
Takato nodded then he and the others headed deeper into the castle, and they entered the grand hall. Then Takato said, "Hey, Sora."
The brown haired Keyblade wielder said, "Yes?"
Takato then said, "I remember seeing a chest, up where that glowing casket is, back when I turned into a Heartless, shall we see what's in it?"
Sora nodded then he ran up to where the chest was, and he opened it, inside he found a black crown Keychain, he put it on his Keyblade, and it turned into a black Keyblade with the kanji for darkness as the teeth, and two bat wings as the handguard, and a blue diamond right at the tip of the handguard.
***Sora Obtained Oblivion***
Sora then said, "Whoa. That's cool!"
Takato nodded then said, "Come on, we've waisted enough time, let's go and seal that Keyhole!"
Everyone nodded, then they approached the dark heart and Takato said, "Come on, we have to go inside."
Everyone nodded, then they went inside, there they saw a ghostly image of a giant Heartless walk towards them, then it became solid, thanks to Takato's Scan, he found out it was called a "Behemoth" and he also found out that it's weakness was it's horn. Takato then pulled out his Zero's Vaccine Reverse and said, "Guys, attack the horn, that's it's weakness!"
Everyone nodded then Takato jumped up on the Behemoth's back, and slammed his Keyblade onto the horn, after enough times, the Heartless fell to the ground, Takato then switched to his Bonds of Hazard and started swinging at the horn, soon he saw Sora, Rika and Henry throwing their Keyblades using Strike Raid at the monster of a Heartless. Hazzardmon then flew around and started hitting the thing with Pyrofists, then Takato summoned Zero's Vaccine Reverse in his left hand, and held the Bonds of Hazard in his right, then he changed the way he held them, for just a moment, then he ran up the things back, and then he crossed his arms, then he dashed at the horn, and with a single movement, he brought both Keyblades across, and cut the horn clean off.
Once the Heartless was destroyed, the gang walked up to the glowing Heartless emblem, and Goofy said, "Now let's go and seal that big Keyhole!"
Then everyone heard Leon's voice say, "Sora, Takato, you guys did it."
Everyone walked out of the portal and found Yuffie, Aerith, Leon, and all of the Tamers were hanging out.
Sora asked Leon and his friends while Takato asked his friends, "What are you guys doing here?"
Yuffie said, "We came in Cid's ship."
Aerith then said, "This is our childhood home. We wanted to see it again."
Takato nodded then pointed to his friends then said, "I can understand that, but what about them?"
Jeri said, "We wanted to visit this place as well."
Kazu nodded and said, "Yeah, we wanted to see the land that our best friend and leader comes from!"
Then Kairi showed up and said, "And don't forget, brother, this is my home as well."
Takato then said, "Let me guess, you at least wanted to be here, right?"
Kairi nodded and said, "You're not mad, are you?"
Takato sighed and said, "No, I'm not mad, just, I'd wish that we'd didn't have to do all of this, you know, just to have our home back."
Kairi nodded and said, "I know. But with you and your friends, you guys should, and will be able to put a stop to Ansem!"
Takato nodded then Leon said, "It's in worse shape then I feared. It used to be so peaceful…"
Aerith then said, "Don't worry. If we defeat Ansem, all should be restored. Including your island and city."
Sora, Kairi and all of the Tamers asked, "Really?"
Yuffie then said, "But, it also means goodbye."
Everyone had curious looks on their faces, then Aerith said, "Once the worlds are restored, they'll be separate again."
Yuffie said, "Everyone will go back to where they came from."
Sora said, "Then we'll visit you guys with the Gummi Ship."
Leon then said, "It's not that simple."
Yuffie then turned to the group and asked, "Before all this, you guys didn't know about the other worlds, right?"
Aerith said, "Because every world was isolated. Impassable walls divided them."
Yuffie then said, "The Heartless destroyed those walls. But if the worlds return, so will the walls."
Leon then said, "Which means gummi ships will be useless."
Takato then asked, "So you're saying we'll never…?" The three nodded and everyone looked down, feeling sad.
Then Leon said, "We may never meet again, but we'll never forget each other."
Then Aerith said, "No matter where we are, our hearts will bring us together again."
Yuffie then said, "Besides, I couldn't forget about any of you guys even if I wanted to."
The Tamers then said, "Hey!"
Then Sora asked, "What's that supposed to mean?"
Donald then said, "Sora, Rika, Henry, Takato!"
Then Goofy said, "Hurry! Come and close the Keyhole!"
Leon then said, "Sora, Takato, good luck."
Kairi then walked up to the two boys and said, "Good luck. Now go and save Riku!"
Both boys nodded and Sora, Takato, Rika, and Henry reentered the portal, then aimed their Keyblades at the emblem, then in a pulse of light, they locked the worlds Keyhole.
Once the gang locked the Keyhole, they went back to the chapel and met up with the Princesses, Alice then said, "Thank you, Sora, Takato, everyone. I think the darkness has begun to weaken."
Jasmine nodded then said, "But I can feel a powerful darkness growing somewhere far away."
Aurora then said, "It's the heart of darkness. It must be where Ansem went."
Sora then said, "Then we'll take the gummi ship and deal with both Ansem and the Heartless."
Everyone nodded and Cinderella said, "A worthy answer, Keyblade masters. We offer you this power to aid you in your battle."
The princesses then gave the four small red balls and the heroes excepted them.
***Fira upgraded to Firaga***
Snow White then said, "Sora, Takato, your courage can bring back our worlds."
Aurora then said, "Once the darkness is gone, all should return to its original state."
Sora then asked, "Kairi will be back on the island?"
Takato asked, "And our friends, will they return to Shinjuku?"
Cinderella nodded and said, "Most certainly. And you guys should be, too."
Sora then said, "I can't go home 'til I find Riku and the king."
Takato nodded and said, "Yeah, and I'm not going home until this airhead gets home safely."
Rika then said, "Well, I'm not going with out this Goggle-Head. What about you, Henry?"
Henry folded his arms and said, "I'm sorry, but someone has to protect our home, but… " Then a smile appeared on Henry's face as he said, "but it seems that Jeri will handle it just fine, so I guess I'll help out."
Then the gang went to the checkpoint, and warped to the Gummi ship, but before they did, Takato said, "Remember to take care of my sister, everyone! Or else you will find out how hard these Keyblades are! Kazu, I'm talking to you!"
Everyone nodded as the gang got onto the Ship and proceeded to the spot of their final battle. Then the gang headed to their final destination, and after a long flight they arrived at a world that looked to be absorbing small stars, and from what Donald had said, each star represents a world. The gang then landed on the world they found themselves in a cave. When they left the cave, they saw that the world looked to be, utterly destroyed, and Goofy asked, "Gawrsh, is that all that's left of the worlds taken by the Heartless?"
Sora then said, "Those worlds will be restored if we beat Ansem, right?"
Donald and said, "You betcha."
Takato nodded then said, "But, if we do beat him and all these worlds become restored and disconnected, what's gonna happen to this place? And to us?"
Donald said, "Well, uh…"
Goofy then said, "This is a Heartless world, so maybe it'll just disappear."
Everyone turned to Goofy and said, "WHAT!?"
Hazzardmon said, "No, he's right."
Goofy then said, "But no worries. Even if this place goes poof, our hearts ain't goin' nowhere. I'm sure we'll find our pals again. Yup, I just know that we will."
Everyone nodded and Sora said, "Yeah, you're right." Sora then looked at Kairi's good luck charm and smiled as he thought, 'I'll return this, I promise.'
Takato then said, "Come on, let's go. Ansem's not going to defeat himself."
Sora then said, "Wait! Can we even walk without falling?"
Takato then placed one foot on the water, and he didn't sink, then he said, "Come, it's just like Hollow Bastion, we can walk on the water."
Everyone followed the Goggle-Headed prince, then they all saw a shadow cast over them, they looked up, and saw a giant ball of darkness drop on them, everyone braced for impact, but it never came, they looked up and saw that they were now in a different area, and they were attacked by new types of Heartless, these looked like Shadows, but were taller, and had more of a humanoid form. And they were also holding strange swords, these things were called "Invisible" and they attacked with their swords, and then they would vanish, and reappear at random. But the gang was able to handle them.
The gang continued to proceed through the dark void, fighting new Heartless that looked like the most purest type of Heartless ever, these things looked like angels mixed with a beaker, and they were called "Angel Stars" and they attacked with magic only. But they would block with their wings, but the gang quickly defeated them.
The gang proceeded through the final dimension until they had to fight one more Behemoth, once that was taken care of, they ended up warped to a new location that looked like a crystal cavern. Goofy then said, "I wonder where that Ansem feller went?"
Rika then said, "If we want Ansem, we'll most likely have to traverse to the deepest, darkest, and most dangerous part of this place, then we'll find him."
Everyone then headed down deeper into the Giant Crevasse, until they found what looked to be a glowing thing, Takato looked at his friends and said, "In the end, we have to make a jump, ready to go?"
Rika didn't need to be asked, while everyone looked nervous, she just jumped down, Takato laughed then he too, jumped, and soon, everyone followed them. When they soon found themselves in a weird place called World Terminus.
Takato then walked through a glowing blue ball, and found himself all the way on another platform, he waved for his friends to move, then when they were all on the same platform, they walked through a dark portal that led them to Traverse Town.
Rika then asked, "Wait, how'd we end up back in Traverse Town?"
Takato looked around and said, "This ain't Traverse Town. It's a copy of it."
Rika asked, "How do you know this?"
Takato answered with, "Well, look around you, this is the Third District, yet those columns were only there when me and Sora first met Donald and Goofy, so that means that this is almost like a memory."
Sora then said, "Oh, man. We're not going to have to fight the Guard Armor again, are we?"
Takato took a few steps forward and soon he was attacked by soldiers, the others were going to help him, but an invisible wall suddenly went up, preventing them from helping him. Takato then pulled out Zero's Vaccine Reverse and started slamming it onto the heads of the soldiers. Then when all of the Soldiers were destroyed, Large Bodies started to show up, then Takato switched to the Bonds of Hazard. Then he started charging left and right at the Heartless. But he didn't see a Soldier appear behind him until Rika said, "Takato, behind you!"
Takato heard Rika and turned around, then he did something strange with his Keyblade, he switched his grip on it, making him hold it in reverse, then he summoned his other Keyblade in his other hand, which too appeared in reverse grip position, then he started dashing left and right, destroying Heartless after Heartless, until they stopped showing up. Then the field went down and everyone ran up to Takato, who was breathing heavily.
Rika approached him first and casted Curaga on him then she said, "Goggle-Head, how did you do that? How did you use your Keyblade like that?"
Takato took a few breaths and said, "Because, I remember seeing a boy use his Keyblade like that. If I remember correctly, his name was, Ventus. Now then, let's move."
Everyone nodded then they headed to the next portal, where they ended up in Wonderland and Takato said, "Oh, no. Not this world again!"
Rika then asked, "What's so bad about this world, Takato?"
Takato said, "You try to figure out which end's up after an hour in this world, that and the fact that last time we were here, I ended up speaking in tongues! It was horrible!"
Just then the group were sounded by Red Requiems, Wizards, and Green Rhapsodys. Rika then asked, "What would you say about this, then?"
Takato then said, "A way to ease my pain."
Then Takato started attacking Heartless left and right with Zero's Vaccine Reverse. Then once all the Heartless were gone, Takato said, "Let's go before I start to feel slow. Aw, man! It's starting again!"
The gang then left the strange world and proceeded on to the next worlds. Which was the Coliseum, then the Deep Jungle, then Agrabah, then Atlantica, then Halloween Town, where they found out that Takato still looked like Hazzardmon, and Hazzardmon looked evil, and Henry now looked like Rapidmon. Then they arrived onboard of Hooks ship. Then they arrived at a peaceful location that Sora said was from Pooh's story book.
Then they arrived at the last stop, which seemed to to have fire coming out of it, Takato then said, "This is it, the last one. Let's see where this one leads."
The gang then walked through the flames and found themselves in a place that no one recognised, then Takato's eyes widened and he said, "Wait a minute! I know this place! It's my dad's old lab."
Then they were attacked by Invisibles, and after they were defeated, a new door opened up, then they went inside, and Takato investigated the computer, and he found an old note that said, "Ones born of the heart and darkness, devoid of hearts, ravage all worlds and bring desolation. Seize all hearts and consummate the great heart. All hearts to be one, one heart to encompass all. Realize the destiny: the realm of Kingdom Hearts. The great darkness sealed within the great heart. Progeny of darkness, come back to the eternal darkness.
For the heart of light shall unseal the path. Seven hearts, one keyhole, one key to the door. The door of darkness, tied by two keys. The door of darkness to seal light. None shall pass but shadows, returning to the darkness. Ones born of the heart and darkness, hunger for every heart until the dark door opens."
Rika then asked, "What was that all about?"
Takato was about to answer, when they were attacked by Invisibles, once they were destroyed, Takato said, "That was talking about an ancient legend, the birth place of all hearts, though the stories are different, but the name stays the same: Kingdom Hearts. The heart of all worlds. But from the story I know, and from what this story tells, it's completely different."
Sora then asked, "How different?"
Takato said, "Well, the story I was told, was that Kingdom Hearts was the birthplace of all light. Not darkness, but people fought over it's light, and Kingdom Hearts faded into the darkness."
Sora and the others said, "Wow."
Rika then said, "Well, we should get going now, don't you think?"
Takato nodded then everyone left the lab through the portal. And saw that the flaming portal became a dark pit. Takato and the others nodded, then jumped into the dark pit. And they soon found themselves flying, just as if they were in Neverland, in a huge domain, where they saw a sleeping statue, then it awakened to reveal, what Takato scanned to be called, "Chernabog" it attacked with it's huge bat like wings, blowing everyone away, but Hazzardmon used his wings to fight the wind blast, then he dashed forward and derived a Pyrofist to the gargoyle's face.
Then Takato summoned his Zero's Vaccine Reverse and dashed at the giant statue and thought, 'These Keyblades, they represent strength and defense, as well as speed and magic. The Bonds of Hazard has the greatest attack, while this one has the best in magic.'
Takato then launched a Blizzaga spell at the giant gargoyle, then the thing called upon the volcano it was in, and made it erupt, everyone then flew out of the way, and Takato switched to Bonds of Hazard and flew to his friends. Sora, Rika, and Henry nodded, then Takato summoned his other Keyblade and everyone got in a circle surrounding the creature, and started throwing their Keyblades at it, using Strike Raid, then after everyone threw their Keyblades with one final strike, Chernabog was defeated, and all that was left was an empty crater.
***Learned Superglide***
Once the path was cleared, everyone dived down into the volcanic crater, after making their way through the crater, they found themselves starring at a Heatless shaped door, then a Behemoth dropped out of nowhere, Takato then realized that, the only way to pass through, was to defeat the Heartless. Everyone shared a knowing look, then nodded, Hazzardmon flew up to the horn of the creature and started swinging at it with his claws and wings.
Takato switched to his Bonds Of Hazard and dashed at the Heartless, Sora did the same thing with his Oblivion, Rika did too with her Force of Balance, and Henry did as well with his Soul's Guardian. Once the Heartless was destroyed, the top left part of the sigel disappeared and revealed a glowing doorway. Takato then said, "Be ready, we'll have to fight three more waves of Heartless to be able to proceed to the next room."
Soon, the gang defeated each wave, and another part of the door, fell. Sora had decided to summon Mushu, who told them he was a guardian dragon, he then jumped on top of Sora's head, then he started firing a barrage of fire bullets at the Heartless, then after a few minutes, Mushu went back, and the gang destroyed the last of the Heartless, opening up the portal. Once they stepped through, the gang saw a light teal almost pink door, when Sora approached it, both he and Takato heard a voice.
Sora and Takato then said, "Huh?"
Donald and Rika asked, "What's wrong?"
Sora said, "Listen."
Then Takato asked, "Don't you guys hear something? There!"
Then a voice said, "Careful. This is the last haven you'll find here. Beyond, there is no light to protect you. But don't be afraid. Your hearts are the mightiest weapons of all. Remember, you are the one who will open the door to the light. And you will be the one who will help guard it."
Donald said, "I don't hear anything."
Sora then said, "Strange… That voice was so familiar. Maybe it's just my imagination."
Takato shook his head then said, "No. There was a voice, but whose it belonged to? I can't tell, it was almost like it was coming from static."
Rika then said, "Maybe you two should rest."
Takato and Sora shook their heads, and Takato said, "No. We're fine. Let's do this. It's time to end Ansem, once and for all!"
Sora nodded then he asked, "Are you guys ready? This is it. Once we step through this final door, there's no turning back. Are you ready?"
Everyone nodded then Takato opened the final door and in a bright light, everyone walked through it. When the light faded and everyone stopped walking, they felt themselves standing on sand.
Rika then asked, "Great, now where are we?"
Once Takato's eyes adjusted, he opened them and found himself standing on a familiar beach, then Sora asked, "Is this… Is this my island?"
Takato looked around and said, "It looks like it, but… It can't be."
Rika then asked, "This is where you ended up for a month? Your own island? Wow, I'd hate to say it but, I'm jealous."
Takato nodded and said, "Yeah, it is. But this can't be real."
Sora asked, "Why not?"
Then Henry said, "Remember those other places we've been to while at this world? They were memories of places that we've been to. And the lab was a memory of Takato's past. So that must mean that this is one of your memories."
Takato nodded then said, "Sora, the secret place."
The spiky haired boy nodded then said, "Let's go!"
Takato and Sora ran off to the hidden cave near the base of the tree. When they got there, they all heard a voice that Sora and Takato both recognised. The voice said, "This world has been connected."
Goofy then asked, "What was that?"
As the voice spoke, the island began to disappear and become more distorted. Then the voice said, "Tied to the darkness…"
Rika then said, "This world, it's changing!"
Takato then said, "That voice, it's Ansem's! The Seeker of Darkness!"
Henry asked, "Are you sure?"
Takato nodded then the voice said, "Soon to be completely eclipsed. There is so very much to learn. You understand so little. A meaningless effort. One who knows nothing can understand nothing."
Then the island flashed, and it looked like walls made of darkness was stretching out from the tree. And the water was completely gone. Then everyone saw Riku, who was wearing his Heartless outfit, standing on the edge of the world. Takato said, "It looks like he's Riku again."
Rika then said, "But, is it really Riku, or is he still Ansem?"
Takato then said, "Lets go and find out!"
Everyone nodded, then the group of seven dashed down to where they saw Riku/Ansem and when they approached him, he said in Ansem's voice, "Take a look at this tiny place. To the heart seeking freedom this island is a prison surrounded by water. And so this boy sought out to escape from his prison. He sought a way to cross over into other worlds. And he opened his heart to darkness." Then Riku turned around, and he once again became Ansem.
Sora and Takato then reached out their hands and said, "Riku!" But they felt a wave of energy push them back.
Then Ansem said, "Don't bother. Your voices can no longer reach him where he is. His heart belongs again to darkness. All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it, it grows, consumes it." Ansem then somehow ended up floating behind the gang and he said causing everyone to turn around and look up, "Such is it's nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came. You see, darkness is the heart's true essence."
Then everyone said, "That's not true!"
Then Sora said, "The heart maybe weak. And sometimes it may even given in."
Takato then said, "But we've learned that deep down,"
Rika then said, "That deep down, there's a light that never goes out!"
Ansem then folded his arms and said, "So, you have all come this far and still you all understand nothing. Every light must fade, every heart return to darkness!"
Then a Heartless came out of Ansem's shadow and Takato discovered that it was called "Dark Guardian". Then Takato summoned his Bonds of Hazard and Zero's Vaccine Reverse, Henry summoned his Soul's Guardian, Rika summoned her Force of Balance and Sora summoned his Oblivion. Then Hazzardmon took flight and got ready to fight, same with Donald and Goofy.
Then everyone charged in for what may be, their final battle. Then the Dark Guardian launched several blades of dark energy at the gang, they all dashed out of the way and Takato switched his Keyblades to reverse grip, then he dashed forward and used Sonic Blade, and with him using two Keyblades, it made the attack twice as powerful, then Henry threw his Keyblade at Ansem, using Strike Raid, he had managed to hit the seeker of darkness five times then he dashed out of the way.
Rika then used Ars Arcanum and struck at Ansem with her Keyblade with such force, such strength, that it looked like she was hitting him with a brick wall. Goofy was jumping in the air and spinning like a top with his shield, Sora used Ragnarok, and he struck with his Keyblade five times, then he unleashed a wave of bullets at Ansem, hurting him a lot.
Then Hazzardmon gathered up red and white lights in his hands and unleashed a wave of energy at Ansem while saying, "Hazard's Light!"
Then Takato changed to just his Zero's Vaccine Reverse, then he jumped up to Ansem and said, "Eat this, Zero's Grand Slam!"
Then Takato slammed his Keyblade at Ansem, knocking him backwards, into the tree on the island, then the whole island started to shake, and the tree split in half, revealing a massive open dome, with Ansem floating in the middle of it.
Then Takato, Sora and the others dashed towards the dome, but only Takato and Sora managed to enter it. Everyone else hit a wall, then Rika yelled, "Takato, Sora!"
Hazzardmon yelled, "Takatomon!"
Takato and Sora looked behind them then Takato said, "Guys!"
Then the ground started shaking again, and Takato turned behind him and he saw a haunting sight, for the third time, he stared at this Heartless, only now, he knew what it was called, "Darkside" and it was just like how Sora and Takato first fought the Heartless.
Sora then turned to Takato and said, "Is it me, or does this feel like déjà vu, Takato?"
Takato shook his head then said, "No, it's not just you, I'm seeing this as well."
Sora then asked, "You ready for this?"
The Goggle-Headed Keyblader nodded then he summoned his Bonds of Hazard and said, "Let's do this!"
Sora nodded then the two boys dashed at the Heartless, but it shoved it's whole left arm into the ground and caused a shockwave and knocked the boys back, then Sora said, "What the… It didn't do that last time!"
Then Takato saw how it pulled out a large glowing ball of darkness then it put its right arm on it's left, then it stood up, and released the darkness into the sky, Takato and Sora charged at the Darkside, but it started to rain down dark energy balls, then the Darkside gathered energy in its right hand, then it shoved it into the ground, creating an army of new Heartless, ones that looked like Shadows, but were taller, and it's antennas looked like bent horns.
Takato found out that these were called "Neo Shadows" and unlike their weak counterpart, these things were tough, and they would dive into the ground, then it would appear that they had left, but then they would come back by appearing from underneath the boys, and attacking them that way. By jumping out from underneath their shadows, and catching them by surprise.
Takato then jumped out of the way to avoid being hit, then he casted Aeroga around himself, then he charged in forwards and attacked with his Bonds Of Hazard. Then Sora switched to his newest and most powerful weapon called the "Ultima Weapon" and started casting lightning spells, then he and Takato both looked at each other, then nodded, Takato then summoned his Zero's Vaccine Keyblade in his other hand, then both he and Sora used Strike Raid on the Darkside, then with one final strike, they threw all three Keyblades at the Heartless, and the Ultima Weapon struck it in the head, and the Bonds of Hazard struck at its left arm, while Zero's Vaccine Reverse struck at its right, finally defeating the giant Heartless, then Takato and Sora took care of the remaining Neo Shadows.
Then, once they were all gone, Ansem returned, and he looked ready to defeat the boys. He then started dashing everywhere in a spiral of swirling energy, then as he was approaching Sora, Takato charged in and blocked the attack, making Ansem stop in his tracks, this gave the two Keybladers the opportunity to attack Ansem, but then Ansem floated out of their reach and the Dark Guardian unleashed two waves of Dark Thundaga at the boys, they were able to dodge roll out of the way, then Sora and Takato both used Sonic Blade and dashed back and fourth at Ansem.
Then Ansem yelled, "Submit!" Then his dark Guardian tried to attack the boys, Takato managed to get out of the way, but Sora was hit, but when he was hit, the Dark Guardian disappeared, then Ansem said, "Come, open your heart." Then he created a sphere of energy around him, and just as Sora was about to block him, the Dark Guardian appeared from his shadow and held him in place while Ansem attacked him.
Takato then charged forward and struck at the Heartless, getting it off of Sora, who said, "Thanks."
Takato gave him a thumbs up, then he threw his Keyblades at Ansem, using a double Strike Raid, then Sora used Ragnarok, and Takato unleashed Ars Arcanum, and then Ansem started glowing, and soon his Dark Guardian dived into the ground, then Sora and Takato started running and jumping to avoid being hit, then Ansem asked, "What do you hope to accomplish?" Then he unleashed a dark pulse of energy. Which Sora and Takato avoided.
Then Sora and Takato used a triple Strike Raid, and defeated Ansem once and for all, or so they thought, soon the world around them became a dark empty void, and they also noticed that all of their friends were there, and it was then that they noticed that there was nothing. Then they heard Ansem's voice say, "Behold the endless abyss! Within it lies the heart of all worlds: Kingdom Hearts!" They saw it. A heart shaped shadow with two large doors in front of it. Ansem then said, "Look as hard as you are able. You'll not find even the smallest glimmer of light. From those dark depths are all hearts born. Even yours."
Then they all looked below them and saw a huge monstrous ship, and they saw that Ansem was huge, and was attached to what Takato could have guessed to be Dark Guardian, but now Ansem was holding a large double sided version of the weapon Riku used. Then Ansem said, "Darkness conquers all worlds!"
Then everyone fell, and Donald, Goofy, Henry, Rika and Hazzardmon were sucked into a dark portal, while Sora and Takato fell. Then they both heard Riku's voice say, "Giving up already? Come on, Sora, Takato. I thought you guys were stronger than that?"
Then the two boys fell into the darkness, only for them to fly up a second later, both with a serious look on their faces. Then Sora summoned the Ultima Weapon, while Takato had Bonds Of Hazard out and was ready to go.
The two boys noticed that Ansem seemed to be in a highly vulnerable position, and he could only move to a certain degree, then the boys proceeded to attack Ansem, until they were hit by some strange beam of light wave, Takato and Sora then casted Aeroga around them and then continued to attack Ansem, then Takato summoned his other Keyblade and proceeded to attack Ansem like he entered some sort of berserk mode, then Ansem blasted the two boys away, and dismissed his weapon, then folded up his arms and his Dark Guardian had him in, what one would call a protective coffin. Then a dark portal opened up and Sora and Takato dashed into it.
There they found Hazzardmon fighting off a bunch of Shadows and Neo Shadows, then Takato dashed in with his Keyblades and destroyed the Heartless. Hazzardmon then said, "Takatomon! Sora! You guys are all right!"
The two boys nodded then Takato said, "Let's clean up in here!"
Sora and Hazzardmon nodded then they proceeded to destroy the Heartless left and right. Then when the Heartless were destroyed, a strange floating red ball appeared, Takato saw this as a power source and destroyed it. Then the three managed to escape out of the dark room.
Then when they got out, weird tentacle like things appeared on the ship, they started to fire of energy blasts at the trio, then Takato, Sora and Hazzardmon destroyed them, and another Portal of Darkness opened up, and the three flew in, there they found Rika and Goofy fighting a bunch of Darkballs, Rika then said, "Goggle-Head! Good to see you decided to join this little party, these Darkballs have been showing up like crazy, if we destroyed one of them, three more take it's place. Now help us get rid of these things!"
Takato nodded then he, Sora, Rika, Goofy, and Hazzardmon destroyed the Heartless, once they were all destroyed, another glowing red ball showed up, Takato destroyed it, and it revealed the portal out of there. The quintuplet then flew out of the portal, where they noticed the weird head like thing on the front of the ship came to life, the gang then proceeded to attack it, then afterwards, it fell apart and opened up another portal, once inside, they found Donald and Henry fighting off a bunch of Invisibles.
Once those things were destroyed, the next power source appeared, then Rika, Henry and Takato jumped forward and delivered a triple threat from their Keyblades.
Then once they were out of the dark room, the head like thing on the ship blew up, and the force field surrounding the core of the ship came down, and the gang charged at it and gave it everything that they had.
Once the core was destroyed, Ansem then was released from his protective coffin, then the group of seven charged at him, and attacked him with everything they had, and they dodged almost every attack, but couldn't avoid being blown back from him, but they just charged back at him and attacked him with everything. Takato was using both of his Keyblades, but soon everyone was blown back again, and Ansem said, "You really think that you can beat me? No power you have could ever stand up to be a match against me!"
Takato then said, "It doesn't matter what you think! As long as we stand together,"
Then everyone said, "Nothing can stand against us!"
Then everyone dashed at Ansem and with one final combination attack, they defeated Ansem, and the giant ship blew up and went to kingdom come. But then Ansem weakly said, "It is futile. The Keyblade alone cannot seal the door to darkness. Kingdom Hearts! Fill me with the power of darkness…" Then the doors to Kingdom Hearts began to open up, and darkness started pouring out of it. Then Ansem said, "Supreme darkness…"
But then Sora said, " You're wrong."
Then Takato said, "We know now, without a doubt."
Then Rika said, "That Kingdom Hearts…"
Then everyone said, "Is light!"
Then a light of unbelievable proportions blasted out of the doors. Then Ansem asked weakly, "Light? But why?" Then he vanished in a blast of light.
Then everyone ran towards the doors and Sora said, "Come on!" Then everyone tried to close them.
But then Goofy looked inside the doors and gasped, then Donald said, "Stop staring and keep pushing! Huh?" Then he looked inside, and soon everyone else did, then they said, "The Heartless!?"
Donald then yelled, "Hurry!"
But it was futile, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't close the doors. Sora then said, "I can't…"
Takato then said, "It's too heavy…"
Then a familiar hand shot out and said, "Don't give up!" Everyone looked and there they saw Riku. Then he said, "Come on, everyone! Together, we can do it!"
Everyone nodded then Sora said, "Okay!"
Then everyone started pushing the doors shut, but they weren't closing fast enough, then the Darksides started rising and Donald said, "It's hopeless!"
Then something started destroying the Heartless, everyone looked in and saw a mouse wearing red pants holding a golden version of Sora's Kingdom Key. Then Donald, Goofy, Rika and Henry said, "Your Majesty!"
Then King Mickey said, "Now, Sora! Takato, Rika Henry! Let's close this door for good!"
Donald then said, "Close it, quick!"
Rika and Henry looked at each other, then nodded, then in an instant, they were on the other side of the doors with Riku, then Takato asked, "What are you guys doing!?"
Rika sadly smiled and said, "Sorry, Takato. But just like how you made a sacrifice in Hollow Bastion to save Sora, we must make a sacrifice to save everyone. "
Takato tearfully asked, "But, but why?"
Henry sadly said, "Because, we don't want to see the one's we love, become lost to the darkness."
Rika then walked up to Takato and kissed him on the lips and said, "Sorry, Goggle-Head, but this is goodbye. You understand, don't you?"
Takato nodded and said, "Yeah, I, I understand, but what about you guys? What will happen to you?"
Mickey, seeing Takato's hesitation said, "Don't worry. There will always be a door to the light."
Rika then said, "Come on, guys! Let's close this door!"
Goofy then said, "Sora, Takato, you guys can trust King Mickey."
Then Riku turned and said, "Now! There coming!"
Mickey then said, "Donald, Goofy, thank you."
Then everyone gave it their all then the doors started closing and Riku told Takato and Sora, "Take care of her guys."
Rika then said, "I love you, Goggle-Head. Take care now."
Then Henry said, "And tell Suzie, that I'm sorry for this."
Rika then said, "And don't forget about Renamon."
Henry nodded and said, "Or Terriermon, even if he can get a bit, annoying."
Sora and Takato nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will."
Then the giant Doors shut and Sora summoned his Kingdome Key, while Takato summoned his Bonds of Hazard, while Rika and Henry summoned their Keyblades. Then with five beams of light, the doors were locked and disappeared. Then Takato quietly said, "Goodbye, Rika. I love you too."
Then Sora turned around and saw Kairi then he yelled, "Kairi!"
Takato heard Sora and ran up to his sister. The three of them were staring at each other, but then Kairi started moving away from the two boys, then they grabbed her and Sora said, "Kairi! Remember what you said before?"
Then Takato said, "We're always with you too! We'll come back to you, we promise!"
Kairi said, "I know you will!"
(A/N: Play Simple and Clean)
Then the two boys lost their grip and Kairi was drifted away on floating which soon turned into Destiny Islands. Then everyone else was whisked away to a long and narrow road, while they were walking Donald asked, "Well, now what'll we do?"
Sora said, "We've got to find Riku and King Mickey."
Takato nodded and said, "As well as Rika and Henry."
Then Goofy asked, "But, where do we start lookin' for that there door to the light?"
Everyone sighed and looked down, then Goofy saw an orange dog and he asked, "Pluto? Where have you been, boy?"
Then Takato noticed that Pluto had something in his mouth and Goofy said, "Hey that's the Kings seal!"
Takato then asked, "Have you seen King Mickey?"
Then Pluto ran off and then everyone smiled then Sora said, "Come on guys!"
Then everyone ran and or flew after Pluto, then a voice said, "Remember Sora. You are the one who will open the door to the light. And Takato, you are the one who will guard the light."
The End… or is it?
