Now, we are coming to a close!

This should be the best finale i've ever written so far...

Well, on the last few notes...

An epilogue will follow right after this chapter...

The lost chapter will be a seperate thing altogether so it won't mess up the rating of this story...

Enjoy!

In a matter of an hour, all of Paris was fighting to defend Notre Dame. Even Ven and Eraqus were helping out with the fight. Terra was defending from the balcony. Aqua was tending to Surane. Xehanort was the only one who managed to get inside Notre Dame. He climbed the stairs with his Keyblade, ready to slice anyone in his way.

On the ground, Iris was fighting the hardest she could. While dealing with a short and stout guard, another one was sneaking up behind her. Ventus saw him going after Iris and immediately sprung to attack. He bashed his head through the helmet and kicked him in the Siene. Iris turned around and saw him.

"Oh! It's you!" she cried.

Ventus held out his arms and she gave him a hug, plus a kiss on the cheek. He blushed and kissed her on the cheek as well. Now, she blushed.

"You're not a statue anymore!" she exclaimed.

"Yep! It's all thanks to Terra and Surane." he replied.

"Where are they?"

"Inside Notre Dame, let's go!"

They ran together to the cathedral. All the soldiers were now fleeing for their lives, abandoning the Judge. Terra watched them all flee before running back to where Aqua and Surane were. He opened the door and saw Surane lying on a bed, unconcious. Aqua was in tears next to her bedside.

"I can't get her to wake up. I've tried everything, Terra." the blue-haired woman cried.

Terra looked at Surane's peaceful face. It almost seemed like she was sleeping the night away and would wake up soon. He couldn't believe that she was...gone.

"I'll leave you alone." Aqua finally said, and she closed the door behind her.

He kneeled down to Surane and took her hand. It was cold. He tried to hold back his emotions, but it was no use. Terra picked up her body and held it close to his chest. He couldn't tell if there was a heartbeat.

"Please, Surane. Don't leave me. I don't want to be alone again." he whispered to her.

Terra leaned down to her face and kissed her.

"It's no use, Terra. She's gone." an icy voice came from the doorway.

"No, she can't be. I don't want her to leave."

Terra felt a hand on his back. He carefully laid Surane back down to the bed, and turn towards Xehanort.

"You killed her...you bastard." He growled fiercely.

"I know. It was my duty. I hope you find you can forgive me. But now, the time has come to end your suffering...forever." Xehanort smiled.

Terra pulled out his own Keyblade and struggled with Xehanort. Eventually, Terra knocked the blade out of his master's hand and cornered him. With the blade ready, he was about to kill the man who ruined his life.

"The last five years you've only told me that the world was a place I didn't belong. 'The Light doesn't want you' you've said thousands of times. Now I understand. You are not part of the Light at all. You are using Darkness to control me and take over my body. It's people like you who need to die, for the better." Terra said, with pure rage.

"Terra, let's be reasonable..." Xehanort tried to negotiate.

"Terra..." called a weak voice.

He turned around and saw Surane trying to stand up from the bed. She looked extremely weak, she had just woke up. He ignored Xehanort on the floor and went straight for her. Terra picked her up. His new mission was to keep her far away from Xehanort as possible. Doing so, he ran out of the room and carried her all the way up to the top of the bell tower. Xehanort reclaimed his weapon and followed close behind.

Terra put Surane down and held up his weapon in defense. This was the moment to finally conquer the Darkness.

Xehanort came forward with his weapon and attacked Terra. They fought all around the roof of the tower. Surane searched around for something to throw at the Judge. Finally, she found a small rock. Looking up, Xehanort had Terra in a death grip and held him over the edge. Surane threw the rock at his head.

Xehanort accidentally let go of Terra, who grabbed the railing just in time to catch himself. The Judge turned to Surane, the look of pure evil in his eyes. Terra snatched his sleeve and pulled him over the railing. Xehanort managed to grab part of the railing a few feet away from Terra and hung on. Surane rushed forward and held onto Terra's arm. Fumes from the fire in the square floated up to them. Terra inhaled them accidentally and started to pass out himself.

"No, Terra! Wake up!" Surane screamed.

The Judge pulled himself up to the railing and stood on it, keyblade in hand. He glared at the vulnerable Surane and raised his weapon.

"And you will be smited, o' wickedness, and plunged into the fiery pit!" He yelled triumphantly.

It was too soon. The railing underneath him crumbled apart and sent him flying over the edge. He screamed as he fell to the ground below and the fire burned his body into ash.

Surane tried to pull Terra up by his arm, but her hands were getting sweaty. He started to slip from her grasp.

"Terra... TERRA!" she yelled.

He fell out of her grasp and started plummeting towards earth. Surane watched him fall until he had a sudden stop. He didn't hit the ground. She saw four arms pulling him inside Notre Dame, and ran downstairs.

Terra was saved by Iris and Ventus. They managed to catch him together and were now pulling him inside. Terra woke up and saw Ven and Iris. They hugged each other. Surane came down to them and smiled, watching them hug. Terra saw her and immediately got up and ran to her. They hugged tightly.

Ven and Iris exchanged a look and held each other for a kiss. Terra and Surane giggled at the sight of them. All four of them ran down to the front oak doors to the cheering crowd. Eraqus found a nice lady friend among the crowd. Aqua was still beside herself.

"How is it that I don't have a freakin guy!" She screeched to deaf ears.

"Hey, you're pretty cute." said a nice friendly voice.

"Hm?" Aqua turned around.

She saw a handsome dark haired man with epicly awesome clothes. His hair slightly resembled Terra's.

"Wow, I guess you will do." jeered Aqua, taking his arm.

Vanitas nudged Sora and they sang us home.

"So, here is the riddle you never can guess, sing the bells of Notre Dame. What makes a monster and what makes a man?"

Everyone joined in...

"Sing the bells, bells, bells...What ever their pitch, you can feel them bewitch you with the rich and the ritual knells... of Bells of Notre Dame!"

The sun came up to the center of the sky. Everything had been cleaned up from the battle and no remains were found of Xehanort. Everything was fixed and the city of Paris was filled with it's brightest light. There was only one thing left to do.

After all the partying and celebrating, Terra led Surane back up to his room. It was just the two of them now.

"I wanted you to see this." Terra told her.

He picked up a paintbrush and painted on his wooden figure as well as Surane's. She took the both of them and had their poseable arms wrapped around each other, and placed them on top of Notre Dame. Now, it was perfect.

Terra held the real Surane close to him and kissed her passionately. On their left hands, their engagement rings glowed in the sunlight.

"I love you." he whispered.

"I love you too." she whispered back.

On their figures, Terra had painted the tracking marks on the forearms respectively. He even used a glittering paint to match their current looks.

Everything was perfect. Nothing could be much better than it was now...

Think that's the end?

Think again!

Stay tuned for the epilogue!
