Woot! Woot!
Our grand finale is coming up!
Don't let me waste your time!
Read on!
Terra's rocket cage landed him up at the North Pole. The cage shattered upon impact, sending him and Shadow flying in different directions. The thief landed on his stomach with a thud. The snow falling from the sky started burying him up. He grunted while getting up. The wind whipped around him and blasted cold air into his face. You could barely see a thing out here.
"Shadow?" he yelled into the wind.
His voice carried on away from the direction he shouted. A thick breath of steam came out of his mouth. The wind tried to knock him over at every second. He thought he heard a voice in the distance.
"Terra!" it shouted.
He stumbled along the snow bank heading for the noise. In a heap of snow in front of him, he saw a black antenne flopping around against the white snow. Terra rushed forward and pushed the snow away.
"It's all my fault, I should've freed Surane like I promised her." he said.
Images of her getting hurt filled his mind. It filled him with an overflowing rage that made him want to kill something. The sad charcoal eyes she had made him feel sad too. He never wanted Surane to feel that way again. There was no time to waste, they needed to get back before something else happened to all of them.
"You okay?" he asked Shadow.
The creature barely nodded his head and shivered against the wind. Terra stuffed him under his black shirt and started walking up the snow dune. In the sky, Carpet spotted him walking along and flew down to him.
"Carpet!" Terra shouted happily.
The shout was a bit too loud. It echoed all around them. Soon, a deep rumbling was heard. They weren't on a dune, it was a mountian! An avalanche started to roll down the mountian. Carpet picked up Terra and Shadow and zoomed into the air. They watched the heaps of snow slide down.
"Back to Agrabah! Let's go!" Terra shouted.
Carpet picked up speed and flew to said destination.
Inside the throne room, Xehanort was sitting in his rightful place while Surane sat next to him, chained to the throne. Iris was sitting next to her father, with Vanitas eyeing her body like a creeper. He couldn't wait to get his hands on her.
Xehanort was doing the same thing to Surane as she wasn't looking at him. He loved her young bodily curves and tight but comfortable clothing hugging it. It was very tempting to touch her, but he kept control over himself. It was far more interesting to see Vanitas lust over the princess.
"Genie..." he said.
Surane looked up at him with fear in her eyes. He grinned at that fear and lustfully caressed her shoulder. She was disgusted at his actions.
"I wish that Iris and Vanitas were dressed for their wedding." he spoke aloud.
The genie looked at the both of them and snapped her fingers. Iris was suddenly in a beautiful white wedding gown, trimmed with black roses. Her vibrant red hair was pulled up to a wedding bun. Vanitas and Eraqus were changed into average black tuxedoes. Surane decorated the room like a chapel as well. She turned to her master.
"You just have to do the rest..." she said in a sad tone.
"Oh, I plan to..." he snickered, meaning his words in more ways than one.
Vanitas forced Iris down the aisle and in front of Xehanort. She fought back with everything she had, but it was no use. Eraqus nearly attacked Vanitas for treating his daughter so roughly, but Xehanort put magical chains on him at the last minute.
"Stop fiends!" a voice yelled.
Everyone looked over to see Iris's real fiance. He was blonde and a bit short but was the perfect height for Iris. His clothing was royally white and black with a redish tint. He came forward with a keyblade in hand.
"Who is this fool?" Vanitas asked.
"I am Prince Ventus! I am here to rescue my bride from your filthy hands." Ven shouted angrily.
Terra, Shadow, and Carpet snuck in from the roof of the palace. They wandered the corridors before finally reaching the throne room. Sliding down the banister while Ven made his entrance, Terra quietly ran behind the throne and waited for the right moment. Shadow and Carpet flew down to Eraqus. Surane noticed Terra hide behind the throne and whispered so only Terra could hear.
"You came back..." she cried happily.
He smiled to her and almost came around to hug her. This plan had better work for both of their sakes.
"I won't ever break a promise to you again. I love you." he whispered back.
Surane's eyes welled up with tears of joy. He did love her! It was a dream come true. It didn't matter anymore who was her true love, though she hoped now that it was Terra. She held in her happiness in case Xehanort saw her.
Speaking of which, the old man was laughing at Prince Ventus. Vanitas came over for the lamp to held aid this fight. One wish would end it for sure. Xehanort held the lamp away from the boy and it was just a few feet from Terra.
"I think I want to see this fight done the right way." Xehanort chuckled.
Vanitas hissed at him.
"I got the freakin' lamp and I deserve my wishes too!"
"Everything in life can't be handed to you, dear boy. Fight this Prince Ventus and defend your woman like a real man!" Xehanort argued.
"She's not even worth a fight! Give me the lamp!"
"You aren't even worth your life!"
Vanitas backed away, hurt by his master's words. Everyone else felt sorry for him at that moment. Terra was getting ready to snatch the lamp from Xehanort.
"Genie, I wish that you will kill off Van-" the old man started.
The wish was interrupted by a swift punch to the face. It was invalid since Vanitas's name wasn't fully spoken. If there was a person named Van in the room, he would be dead now.
The punch was delivered by Terra from behind. The lamp dropped to the ground and Vanitas dove for it.
"Don't you ever make her do you filthy work!" Terra growled at the old man.
Vanitas held the lamp above his head. Now, he had control over Surane.
"Nobody move or I will send Surane to kill you!" he shouted to everyone.
The room was completely still. Xehanort glared at his ex-servant and gestured to him. The next wish caught everyone by surprise.
"Genie, I wish you were free from being a genie demon!" Vanitas yelled.
And literally, nothing happened. No cloud of smoke or sparkley dust appeared out of nothing. It was still quiet and dark as it was before. Surane didn't feel different.
"Why isn't it working?" Vanitas asked.
"You're not her true love." Terra answered.
Suddenly, Iris came from behind and knocked Vanitas to the ground. The lamp slid across the floor to Ventus. The prince picked up the strange item and examined it carefully. Everyone watched to see what he would do.
"Who does this belong to?" he asked.
Surane yelled at him from across the room.
"Make a wish and I will grant it!"
Ventus caught on and rubbed the lamp. Everyone held their breath for his wish.
"I wish that-" he started.
An invisible force knocked him to the ground and made the lamp fly into Xehanort's outstretched hand. Iris ran over to the prince and tried to help him up. The old man laughed evilly and grabbed Surane's chains.
"You fools! I am the most powerful man in the world! Just you watch as I take over the universe! Hahahaha!" he laughed.
"Actually... you're not the most powerful man in the world..." Terra said nervously.
Xehanort looked at the thief with raging anger in his eyes. He let go of Surane and walked towards Terra.
"What do you mean by that, you filth?"
"Surane is a genie demon. She gave you power and with one wish from any of us, we can take it away from you. Face it, you're just second best!" Terra spat in his face.
The sorcerer thought long and hard about what he had said. Xehanort glanced over at Surane who was shivering with fear. Of course he was right. Surane was more powerful than him. There was one way to fix this problem.
"Genie, my next wish. I wish to be an all powerful genie!" he commanded.
Surane pointed the cane to the old man and another lightning bolt flew out. It hit Xehanort square in the chest and transformed him into a tuxedoed, younger, handsome, man. His bald head now had long silvery locks and his body was muscular.
"The power! The absolute power!" he roared.
Surane's lamp fell out of his hand and clanged against the floor. No one was rushing after it. Everyone was too focused on the powerful man growing stronger by the minute. The chains on Surane disappeared instantly. Terra rushed over to her and helped her stand up. Ventus held Iris close to him. Vanitas was by himself.
"What have you done?" Surane asked Terra.
"Trust me..." he assured her.
The new Xehanort laughed evilly, unaware that a black lamp was being conjured just behind him. Terra ran forward and held the lamp in his hand.
"The universe is mine to command!" Xehanort yelled in triumph.
"Not so fast, Xehanort! You wanted to be a genie, and you've got it!" Terra yelled to him.
Xehanort looked at Terra and saw the new black lamp in his hands. His face registered shock. That was the one downside of being a genie; you were the slave.
"No!" he shouted.
Terra summoned him to the lamp. A dark black twister emerged from the black lamp's spout and swallowed Xehanort in. He couldn't hold on to anything and soon was trapped inside.
Everyone in the room cheered for Terra. Surane hugged him and he hugged her back. Iris, Ven, and Eraqus came forward to them. Vanitas sat on the ground stunned at everything that just happened. But, in the end he was happy he was a free man. Shadow hugged Terra's leg and Carpet flew around wildly.
All around the happy people, the palace was changed back to normal.
Well people... we are almost done!
Just one chapter left!
Stay tuned!
