-The 25th chapter! YEAH!!! And still a ways to go.

1Chapter 25: Beauty of the Heart

Riku and co. ran on the castle walls to find Gaston. They found him. He saw the Beast.

"Well it would appear you are once again a horrible revolting monster again Adam." he said.

"Silence Gaston!" the Beast roared.

"What's the problem Beast? Afraid Belle will no longer love you because there is no longer a way to reverse the curse. Face it, you're a monster, and that is all you'll ever be."

"That may be true. I may remain in this form for the rest of my life, but it is not how the body looks, but the heart." Everything froze for Riku. Darkness. Doves. The mural had Adam, behind him, the Beast, the outer circle had various pieces of silverware, dishes and cups, the circles around him were filled with the servants(human forms)and Belle with a heart around her. Riku placed the Heart on the ground, summoned the Way to Dawn, pointed it at the Heart, shot the beam and the Heart melted into the ground and all went back to normal. Gaston threw Belle down and drew his sword. Two Armored Knights came out and held her hostage. Gaston brought the sword down, Riku blocked it with the Keyblade. Since Gaston was stronger, Riku was losing as the sword forced him to the ground. The Beast then swiped at Gaston but he jumped away and slashed at the Beast. He then pulled out a bow and arrows and hit the Beast. Goofy then charged and bashed Gaston on the knee. Gaston was about to hit Goofy with the bow but Donald launched a Fire spell that burned it, making it useless. Gaston grabbed Goofy by the leg then threw him at Donald.

"Get out!" roared the Beast. The Beast lunged forward and tackled Gaston, then Riku attacked Gaston. Gaston tried his best but the Beast and Riku kept attacking.

"Darkness!" yelled Riku. The Beast let out a roar while Riku expelled a large amount of darkness. The combined power sent Gaston flying. The Beast then charged forward. Gaston pulled out a knife and stabbed the Beast. He let out a roar and swiped Gaston a great distance. Gaston fell over the edge of the castle walls and plummeted to the cloudy chasm far below. The Armored Knights, with no longer anyone to control them, started to drag Belle into the darkness. The Beast ran to her and crushed the Heartless.

"Are you okay Belle?" asked the Beast.

"I'm okay Adam." replied Belle. "But what about you?" The Beast looked at himself.

"I'll be fine."

"No not that. Those." she pointed to the cuts on his body.

"Oh, those."

"Don't worry I can help." said Donald running forward. "Cura!" a green aura appeared the Beats and the cuts sewed themselves up.

"Now Adam," said Belle "let's go inside." Belle placed a hand on the Beast's chest and he was engulfed in a golden light. When the light had faded the Beast was no longer there. It was Adam.

"What happened?" he asked. It would be later known to Riku that the light that was in Belle's heart originally gave Adam the form of the Beast, then later turn him back into the Beast. It would be this light that would give Adam the power to turn from his human form to the Beast and back on will alone. So Riku, Donald and Goofy left the castle and Adam and Belle with good wishes on future endeavors.

And that would be the Beast's Moonlight Howl.
