It all ends now.
Hari: But I don't want it to end! -wails-
Arihx: All good things must come to an end.
Hari: But whyyyy!!
The group rushed out, stopping as Sora, Riku, and King Mickey pointed their Keyblades at Xemnas, prepared for the fight that was sure to come.
"Arihx," Hari whispered as they exchanged a few words, "why aren't you doing anything? You don't feel like you owe him or anything, do you?" She scoffed quietly.
"I can't feel anything, Hari. I am a nobody."
"So why aren't you doing anything?" The Crystal Archer sighed.
"This… isn't our fight."
"What do you mean? We have to help them!"
"Then help."
"…We both know I can't do anything alone," Hari admitted reluctantly.
"Fine. Don't do anything."
"But we can fight together, Arihx! I know we can. We've done it before, haven't we?" The nobody hesitated.
"…Yes. We have," she agreed.
"So why not now?"
"We have nothing to do with this."
"Yes, we do!" Arihx turned to face her other expectantly.
"Then what is it?" Hari stared back, unable to answer. "That's what I thought. We can't do anything to help. We'd just be more of a hindrance than anything."
"But we're good fighters!" Hari protested.
"Not good enough," Arihx corrected softly, turning her blue eyes back to the warriors of the Keyblade.
"Very good. You don't miss a thing. I cannot feel—sorrow… No matter what misery befalls the worlds. No matter what you think, what you feel, or how you exist," Xemnas said, chuckling. He threw his arms up and a bright, blue light surrounded the area. When it had disappeared, so had he and Sora.
"Sora! Where are you?" Kairi called.
"Sora, answer me!" Riku ordered. The Key Bearer reappeared suddenly, asking urgently where Xemnas was.
"Arihx, please," Hari pleaded, staring as the Superior disappeared in a flash of light.
"No," she said again, gritting her teeth. She knew she had no right to interfere, especially after helping Xemnas for so long. "We can't. Let them go alone." She watched as the gateway to Kingdom Hearts appeared before them and felt her resolve dissipating as the three unlocked it.
"Hari, Arihx, are you coming?" Kairi asked when the doors opened.
The nobody began to refuse the offer, but Hari interrupted her with an enthusiastic "Yes!".
"…Fine, then. I suppose we have no choice," Arihx whispered. Her other smiled brightly, and she herself thought she was remembering something—relief. The faintest smile tugged at the corners of her lips. "Let's go."
Oh, I leave you with a cliffhanger. Oh, the cruelty of it all.
Hari: You're so mean to the readers!
Roxas: Wasn't she gonna offer to do a real fic out of this one, anyway?
Hari: Oh, yeah!
Aradia: Yes, it is as they said. If enough people ask for an actual plotline/fic from this one, I'll do it. Grudgingly, but I'll do it.
Arihx: You lie. We all know you enjoyed writing this.
Aradia: Only some of it. Besides, I was grounded at the time.
Roxas: And you're on summer vacation now.
Aradia: ...And I am defeated...
