KINGDOM HEARTS 3.6 Part XX: Last Light-Part 4:
Mama Odie was able to transport Kairi's group back via the reverse way after Donald and Goofy had managed to fend off the Heartless at the tree hut. Upon arrival, everyone was quickly informed of what had transpired. Goofy says "...Vanitas!?" as Donald replies "He's back!?" says the two as Mama Odie tends to Ray's wounds whilst Naveen stays by Tiana at her bedside. "Yeah...honestly, it was a shock for me too. Apparently he was after Tiana all along and he stole something from her...I think...it was most probably a pure Light." says Kairi, shocking both Donald and Goofy with her revelation.
"So then Vanitas has returned and is also after the Seven Lights? but uh...why?" says Goofy. Donald, angered by Vanitas' actions states the following "What's his big idea!?" says Donald. "Agreed." Naveen then joins on the conversation. "Kairi, do you know that masked scoundrel?" says Naveen, seeking vengeance against Vanitas. "...Not personally. At the very least, he's one of our enemies and...he must stopped." says Kairi in reply.
"Agreed. When do you take your leave?" says Naveen, wanting to accompanying Kairi and the others. "Naveen...you can't come with us." says Kairi. "What!? but why-!?" Donald stops Naveen and shakes his head towards him. Even though Naveen hates this, in his Heart...he understands that Kairi, Donald and Goofy have their reasons and thus ultimately accepts this. However-"...Then, just promise one thing: you will make him answer for what he has done, not for me...but for Tiana." says Naveen.
"...Naveen. Would Tiana really want vengeance?" says Kairi, shocking Naveen. "Please don't misunderstand, we WILL make him answer, for everything. But...if anything, I don't want to think that Tiana would want you to confuse vengeance for justice...you understand that, right?" says Kairi, offering clear headed advice for the prince. He takes a moment to ponder on this and again ultimately realises that Kairi is right once more, replying "...Yes, you are right. I'm sorry, it's just..." says Naveen, looking back at Tiana.
"We understand. We won't let either of you down, I promise." says Kairi, fully intending to stop Vanitas no matter what. Everyone nod their heads at this until suddenly, Tiana is seen awaking! "!? Tiana!" Naveen rushes to her side, followed by the others. "...Ugh...my head...daddy?" for a moment, being dazed whilst awaking, Tiana believes to see her father who is actually a hallucination in the place of Naveen, tending to her. "Tiana...are you...okay?" says Naveen, concerned for his one true love. "...Naveen." says Tiana, surprised to see Naveen of all people before her.
"...I was a fool. I thought that I was worthless, amounting to nothing. Even when we were travelling together, I started to further believe that when I compared myself to you, Tiana..." says Naveen, stating his insecurities. Tiana replies "This again? look, Naveen, I may have come off too strong when I left-!?" before Tiana could speak any more, Naveen interrupts her, continuing to speak himself. "BUT! after you left Tiana, I...did some soul searching and I found the answer within myself-it was something that YOU taught me: "Only through hard work, could I understand better". I did just that and I realised that I certainly was NOT worthless...not if I have people that understand and both wish and pray the best for me..." says Naveen, having reached a epiphany.
"I thought that when my parents cut me off, that was my new lot in life." says Naveen. "Naveen..." says Kairi to herself, Donald and Goofy, as they all both listen and look on at the conversation in front of them. Naveen then lastly states "I had no money, no family to back me up, I had...nothing. A truly spoiled rotten rich boy having finally been dealt by the hand that fed him...or so I thought. After being with you, Tiana, something...changed within me. I felt...that at that point, I no longer needed-especially wanted my family's money. But I was too pig headed to accept that in earnest, so I...I tried to cut you off. I myself tried...but my Heart? my Heart itself in full honestly? it...pines for you, Tiana." says Naveen, once more ultimately confessing his feelings of true love for Tiana towards her, shocking everyone listening and looking in the background. Louis outside the hut also hears this confession, in surprise, accidentally bumping his head on the tree hut's entrance. As for Tiana? she was absolutely the most shocked of all, but-
"...Y'all, you need to gather round. Ray...has one last thing...he wants to say to you." says Mama Odie, shockingly revealing Ray's ailing condition to everyone.
