Chapter 29: Secrets Unravel Part 3

Canterlot High: Celestia's Office

While Crimson, Sonic, and the Mane Eight were fighting against a possessed Lucky Charm, things were getting a little complicated back in the Equestrian Human World.

Diz had informed Celestia and Luna that Crimson's and Sonic's mother was a Princess of Heart. There are only two in existence and she is one of them.

"So let's clarify this Diz. Lucky Charm is a Princess of Heart?" Luna asked.

"Yes. I've had my eye on her for sometime and to be honest she is definitely a gentle soul." Diz replied.

"Okay, but how do you know about this and why tell us now?" Celestia asked.

"Because I believed it was the right moment to inform the both of you about it. She and Hikari are the very entities that bind every world together. They may be from different worlds, but they've shown great strengths and have provided the most interesting paths for Crimson and Sonic don't you think?" Diz replied, telling them that Hikari is the second Princess of Heart.

Celestia and Luna were at a loss for words, they had no idea their long time friend was a princess. At the same time Luna asked Diz why he would watch over them and what were his true motives.

"My goals are my own and I have said what you need to know. The boys may not have known that their birth mother was the first Princess of Heart, but I have a feeling they've discovered that their foster mother is." Diz said before getting up from a chair he was sitting in.

Celestia and Luna had no clue what he was talking about, but figured that it was linked to where the boys and their friends were right now. Diz had also informed them to not intervene with what their students were in because it was something they had to do on their own, but by working together they can find what destinies await them.

Not sure to trust him or not, Celestia and Luna agreed to not get involved. However they wanted to know more information about the Princesses of Heart since it's been many years after they left their original home. Diz nodded before giving the principles what they needed to know.

Castle That Never Was: Havoc's Divide

Crimson and Sonic have fought many Heartless, members of the Dark Conquerors, and the raging darkness inside of them, but this one beats all of them. They are fighting their own mother who is under the control of a Heartless.

The figure released deadly slashes and threw it's staff at the boys several times, but they've managed to block or defend themselves from the attacks. It was a good fighter, mostly because Lucky's figure was very healthy and that it could keep on fighting for hours. Within Crimson's and Sonic's bodies the Mane Eight were guiding them on what they needed to do and how to avoid each attack thrown at them.

"Crimson, use my power." Lyra said. "Okay. Concentrate and focus on only me Lyra." He replied, telling her how to pass on her spiritual essence on to him. She did what she was told and began concentrating. Within a few minutes Crimson's Keyblade began to glow cyan, then he pointed it at the figure and a swarm of music began to dash at it.

The figure felt some damage, but it wasn't enough to take it down as it teleported behind Crimson and did a roundhouse kick on his head; send him against a nearby wall with incredible force.

Sonic was recovering from a previous attack and saw what had transpired. He then got up and asked Rainbow Dash and Twilight to lend him their power. Both of them nodded before concentrating on Sonic, then in a instant he grew six blades on his back and each of them was covered in a mystical aura. The ghoul looked at Sonic and charged at him using her staff, but Sonic took flight using the blades before sending each of them at the ghoul below and trapping her in them like a bird in a cage. Using his Keyblade Sonic send a magical surge through the blades and together they gave the ghoul a very lethal shock.

The blades then vanished before the ghoul fell to the ground before Sonic landed near it. Crimson had recovered from the attack granted on him and joined up with his brother. They looked at the body of their mother and was very afraid of what the Dark Conquerors had did to her. Just then the ghoul had regain consciousness and swung her staff in a vortex to attack the boys. Clearly they did not see this coming and their helmets took a heavy it as the glass from them shattered and only one of their eyes was showing.

The ghoul then did a backflip to gain some distance from the boys and was prepared to fight some more. As for Crimson and Sonic there was only one way to completely end this.

"Girls, are you prepared to help us with what needs to be done?" Sonic asked the ones within him before Crimson did the same. "Are you two sure about this?" Twilight asked. "Yes, it's the only way to save our mom." Sonic replied. "Crimson, are you ready for this as well?" Sunset asked. "I am." He replied.

Knowing what they needed to do, the Mane Eight concentrated all of their power with each boy. Lyra, Sunset, Rarity, and Fluttershy combined their magic with Crimson to make his Keyblade glow. Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie did the same with Sonic as his Keyblade began to glow as well.

The ghoul didn't know what was going on, but it wasn't afraid and began to run at the boys. "Mom, we're so sorry. But there's no other way." Both boys said in unison before shedding single tears from their showing eyes before charging at their mother while dragging their Keyblades across the ground.

They then did a powerful Cross Slash against the ghoul, it then began to scream in agony before releasing it's staff. Then as the boys dismissed their armors and allowed the girls to demerge with them, Lucky's body reverted to normal before she collapsed to the ground.

"Mom!" Crimson yelled before going up to her.

Sonic followed and the two tried to wake her up but got no response. "Mom. Mom! Please open your eyes!" He asked desperately.

Their was still no response and this made the boys feel hopeless as to what they had to do to free her from the Heartless. Lyra and Twilight went up to the boys and placed their hands on their shoulders before telling them that everything was going to be okay.

"Oh how cute, but not very nice." A female voice said through the air.

Everyone looked around at where it was coming from and didn't see anything, but then a dark corridor appear and a member of the Dark Conquerors came out.

Everyone saw it's face. it was female, blonde, blue eyes, and had a devious smile. "Sorry for interrupting your mourning, but I just wanted to see how everyone was doing in our castle." The girl said with a sassy voice and attitude.

"Who are you? What did you do to our mother!?" Sonic demanded while him and Crimson glared at her.

"*Chuckling* Well for starters I'm Larxene, and it might be heartbreaking for you both to hear this, but I think I can handle it. That empty puppet over there was attacked by a Heartless that Sombra sent out. After her heart was taken and crushed we decided that it would be fun to control it and make it fight you like gladiators in a arena." Larxene said, explaining what they did to Lucky.

Hearing this surprised and shocked everyone. The boys felt crushed and very upset from it and didn't know what to say. "Sorry boys, but that's life for ya. I know this is hard on you both, but in time you'll find out that-" Larxene said before getting interrupted.

"Shut up!" Crimson said with an angry tone.

He and Sonic then raised themselves from the ground before balling up their fists. "You attacked our mother. You attacked our friends, our family, and everything we've ever cared about. We can never forgive you and you will suffer for what you DID!" Sonic yelled before him and Crimson were covered in dark auras.

Larxene wasn't too surprised about this and neither was anyone else, but then things got a lot more intense as the auras had changed. Crimson's was now red and Sonic's was blue, not only that but the auras themselves have turned into silhouettes of two dragons.

"Whoa, I did not not see this before." Larxene said with confusion and slight fear.

The Mane Eight hadn't seen this as well, but Rarity and Applejack had as they began to slowly back away in fear.

Crimson and Sonic had also gone into Berserk Mode as their eyes had blanked out and were now glowing. Their anger was now at a new level as the silhouettes started to roar and released a small fraction of their power by shooting twin bursts of flame and ice at Larxene.

She managed to barely dodge them, then she looked at the boys and was now a little terrified of them. "Ok, maybe I should let you cool off for a while. So be good and we'll meet again." She said before disappearing.

After she left the boys felt so much pain, so much despair that they screamed into the air before the silhouettes did as well. "WHY?!" Sonic yelled before punching the ground with extreme force.

A few minutes later both boys took in deep breaths before falling to their knees while at the same time the silhouettes went back inside of them and they've exited out of Berserk Mode.

The Mane Eight were a little scared by what happened and saw what Rarity and Applejack had said before about seeing creatures inside Crimson and Sonic. After a few short seconds they went up to the boys to see if they were okay and saw that they were now sad and were developing tears in their eyes.

"Crimson, Sonic, it's okay we're here. We're here." Sunset said before they all gave them a group hug to comfort them.

"We're sorry you had to see that." Crimson said in a sad tone.

"It's alright. It wasn't your fault." Lyra replied.

A few minutes later they broke the hug before the boys shed their tears. Lyra kissed Crimson's forehead while Twilight did the same with Sonic, afterwards they got up from the grounds and went over to their mother's empty body.

"Sugar cubes, it'll be alright. I'm sure we'll find a way to fix this." Applejack said with a comforting voice.

"There's no point anymore." Crimson replied sadly. "Our mom doesn't have a heart anymore, we failed her." Sonic said.

"Don't say that. There's always a way. You both just need to hang onto hope and it'll never leave your hearts." Twilight said, telling them that they can still save Lucky.

"How? What can we do to help our mom? How can we help her after Larxene told us that Sombra crushed her heart?" Sonic replied.

"We'll find it together. After we beat Sombra we will find a way to help your mom. You both have come this far and you can't give up yet, because your mother's memories are forever inside you and they will never go away no matter what." Sunset said, giving Crimson and Sonic some confidence.

It worked as they both managed to grow a smile at everyone. Then Crimson picked up Lucky's body and began carrying it through the door where they all came from.

Castle That Never Was: Proof of Existence

Exiting the area they were in Crimson, Sonic, and the Mane Eight noticed another door available to them.

"Pinkie. Fluttershy. Can you watch our mom for us?" Crimson asked before placing his mother's body near a wall.

"Sure, we'll make sure nothing happens. Otherwise I'll have to use my karate." She replied while getting into a fighting stance.

Everyone gave her a awkward look before the rest went into the next door.

Castle That Never Was: Addled Impasse

Walking into the next chamber the boys and the rest of the Mane Eight met another member of the Dark Conquerors.

"Well boys, it would seem that your hearts are stronger than we thought." The figure said with a familiar female voice.

"That voice. Luna?" Sonic asked.

The figure then removed it's hood and it was revealed to be female that had the same face as Luna, only darker with demon like eyes. "Very close, but no. I am Nightmare Moon." The female said, introducing herself.

"Nightmare Moon? Never heard of you." Crimson replied.

"I have. Back in Equestria she was the dark version of Luna and Celestia had to banish her into the moon. So tell us why you're back." Sunset said, explaining that she had seen Nightmare Moon before.

"Oh I see someone remembers me. That's wonderful and to answer your question, I am no longer bounded with that pathetic weak Alicorn. Xehanort had freed me from her and now I've become my own person to do what I please." Nightmare Moon replied.

Hearing this surprised everyone, but Crimson and Sonic didn't really care as they pulled out their Keyblades and demanded Nightmare Moon to call out for Sombra so that they could settle things once and for all.

"As much as I would love to see that, I'm afraid that won't happen." She said.

"Okay then. Let's see what you're made of." Crimson replied.

"Oh I'm not the one who's going to fight you. Your friends are." Nightmare Moon said before suddenly vanishing behind Sunset and Twilight.

She then infected them with darkness as they were now covered with dark auras. She had also placed the others inside a barrier until the battle was over. Nightmare Moon had disappeared as well, then at the same time Sunset and Twilight were engulfed in darkness and were transformed before Crimson's and Sonic's eyes.

Sunset had grew demon wings, her face was the same but only darker red, she also had on a flame like dress, black boots, gloves with demon claws, her hair sticking upwards, demon eyes, and wielding daggers.

Twilight had demon wings as well but looked more like raven wings, her face was a darker color, she wore strange glasses, her eyes were light purple, her dress was dark purple, had on blue heels, fingerless gloves, a horn, her hair was sticking upwards, and she wielded a spear.

"Girls? Is that you?" Sonic asked.

"*Chuckling* Oh no sweetie, not this time. I am Midnight Sparkle." Midnight said.

"And I am Demon Shimmer." Demon said.

"Not sure what Nightmare Moon did to you, but we're gonna free you from your curse." Crimson said.

Demon and Midnight weren't amused by what he said, then in a split second they both charged at the boys while they themselves guarded the attacks. Then the four of them gained some distance from each other before Demon and Midnight took flight. Then they dashed at the boys before both of them managed to dodge it, afterwards they tried again and the results were the same.

After the second failed attempt both Midnight and Demon began making small talk to Crimson and Sonic. "How could you ever love someone like me after you were told the truth. This is the real me and the Twilight you know is gone forever." Midnight said to Sonic.

"That's a lie. You are not the girl I love and I will set her free." He replied before attacking Midnight. She blocked the attack before grabbing Sonic's shirt and throwing him into the ground below.

"And you Crimson. You really think we're friends? Well think again, because I bet you didn't know that your so called friend is responsible for causing an attack on Canterlot High before you even met her. She was full of avarice and desired power no matter what the cost, so why would you ever be friends with her?" Demon said while using her daggers on Crimson but he kept dodging them until he kneed her away.

"You are so wrong about that! I know the real Sunset Shimmer. She's kind, brave, smart, and would do anything to help those she cares about." Crimson replied, not believing anything Demon said.

The four of them began fighting again and again and again for two hours until they became completely exhausted. Demon and Midnight were still ready to kill them, but then Crimson and Sonic did something unexpected.

They dismissed their Keyblades before raising their arms out. "No more. If you both really want to kill us then go ahead. But know this, I know you Sunset and I know for sure that the real you is trapped inside and you need to break free." Crimson said.

Sonic agreed to that and said the same thing to Midnight. Hearing this made the girls hesitate a little as they were given an offer to kill them, but for some reason they can't do it.

Deep with them was Sunset and Twilight, shackled by dark chains and seeing everything that was going on from the inside. They heard everything the boys said too and tried as hard as they could to prevent their evil counterparts from harming them.

The rest of the Mane Eight saw this too and was getting concerned on what was going to happen next. "Crimson. Sonic. It's working, Sunset and Twilight are fighting the darkness but it isn't enough. Show them how much you care about them and we're positive it'll help them break free." Applejack yelled out.

Not sure if that will work Crimson and Sonic gave it a shot anyway as they summoned out their Keyblades and did a Strike Raid on the girls. They missed and got mocked from it, however they wanted to miss because then a few seconds later Crimson and Sonic began running towards them before leaping into the air to show how much they love them.

Crimson gave Demon a tight warm hug while Sonic kissed Midnight. Both were surprised and stunned from this before trying to break from them, however the boys wouldn't allow it as they kept on doing they needed to do.

At that moment both Demon and Midnight dropped their weapons as they vanished, then they floated back to the ground before two warm lights engulfed them and changed them back to the way they were before.

Sunset then hugged Crimson back while Sonic broke the kiss with Twilight before they hugged each other. A few minutes later they all broke the hugs before looking back behind them to see that their friends had been freed from the barrier.

Going up to them the boys asked if everyone was okay and they all nodded before leaving the area. "Crimson, I...I'm sorry you had to see that from me. And what Demon said was true, I did turn into her long ago." Sunset said, admitting the truth about Demon to Crimson.

"Sunset. I really don't care about that. What matters is that you are you and nothing is ever going to change that." Crimson replied warmly to her.

Sunset smiled as they exited from the area.

Castle That Never Was: Altar of Naught

Leaving Addled Impasse the boys had met up with Pinkie and Fluttershy while they watched over Lucky's body. Fluttershy asked what had happened in the other area and the boys explained that they had to fight another member of the Dark Conquerors and dark versions of Sunset and Twilight.

"Oh you saw Demon and Midnight. Yeah those two were major trouble as Demon brainwashed everyone for her own personal army and Midnight tried to destroy the world just to obtain magic from another dimension." Pinkie said, explaining what Sunset's and Twilight's dark counterparts did long ago.

"We've noticed Pinkie and we don't care what happened before. What matters is the here and now, and...we're sorry for being mean to you on the elevator." Sonic said before apologizing for what occurred earlier.

"It's okay." She replied, accepting the apology.

Both boys smiled at her before looking at their mother's body, then Sonic picked her up and they all began to continue to climb the castle. Along the way no Heartless appeared at all and this gave Crimson and Sonic the expression that whatever was awaiting them was going to be something beyond everything they've seen.

Walking up to the altar up ahead the boys and the Mane Eight noticed the remaining members of the Dark Conquerors waiting for them. Upon arriving Sonic placed Lucky's body on the side of the altar before going back to where he was standing.

"Ah, I'm glad you both have made it this far and your friends have decided to follow you." The first man in the black coat said with a old man voice.

"Who are you people?" Crimson asked firmly.

Hearing that every Dark Conqueror removed their hoods to reveal their faces to everyone before introducing themselves. "I am Xehanort, the leader of Dark Conquerors." Xehanort said, introducing himself.

"I'm Sombra, second in command of the organization." Sombra said, knowing the boys already knew him but wanted to introduce himself anyway.

"I am Chrysalis, number three of the Dark Conquerors." Chrysalis said, introducing her as she had teal hair, green eyes, and dark black skin,

"I am Xehanort from the most distant past. Number four is my number." Young Xehanort said as he was the teenaged version of the leader.

"I am Adagio. Me, Aria, and Sonata dealt with your friends before as they shattered our singing. But Xehanort offered us a chance to join him and we would gain the power to take our revenge." Adagio said as her face was yellow with magenta eyes and big orange hair. "Also she's number five, Aria is number six, and I'm number seven." Sonata added.

"You've already met me, number eight Larxene." Larxene said.

"I'm Vanitas. You've met me before, but now you can see my face and I'm number nine of the organization." Vanitas said as his face was identical to Sonic's, however his hair and eyes were violet like Twilight's.

"I am number eleven, Nightmare Moon." Nightmare said.

After their introduction Crimson, Sonic, and the Mane Eight weren't too surprised by what they were dealing with. However before anything else could happen Xehanort asked them a very good question.

"Now children, answer me this. Why do you hate the darkness?" He said.

"Because it's scary." Pinkie replied.

Xehanort didn't care about that answer as he was waiting for what the boys had to say. Crimson and Sonic placed their hands on their hearts before Crimson spoke first.

"Pinkie Pie is right, it is scary. But after everything I've experienced I've learned something. Every world and every person is made of both light and darkness, you can't have one without the other, because darkness is the half of everything else. I'm afraid of the dark because of what's lurking inside of it and I don't hate it." He said.

"My brother has a point. Sometimes we can lose control over our darkness, but we've also managed to control it at points. Darkness doesn't have to be evil, it's people behind the darkness that makes it evil. I won't hold back the darkness and neither will my brother because we've discovered a new path." Sonic said.

"Is that so? Then tell everyone what path you both are taking." Xehanort asked.

Both Crimson and Sonic looked at each other before answering. "The road to dawn. Consume the darkness, return it to light!" They both said in unison before summoning their Keyblades and pointing them at the Dark Conquerors.

"That is a very interesting path boys, but too bad your lives end here. Sombra I will allow you to handle this on your own. We will meet again boys..." Xehanort replied before him and the others vanished into dark corridors and leaving Sombra alone.

"Now we settle this once and for all." Sonic said, determined to put an end to Sombra.

"Indeed we can. But before we do there's something else you both need to know. I was the one responsible for the Heartless War that took place years ago." Sombra said.

"What?!" Everyone said loudly.

"If you were responsible for it, then were our real parents killed by the Heartless or did you do it?" Crimson demanded.

"I killed them myself." Sombra admitted.

Hearing this shocked everyone, including the boys. "You're awful." Fluttershy said to Sombra.

He smirked before Sonic spoke. "Why then. Why did you do this? Why kill our parents and ruin our lives?!" He demanded.

"Because of you two!. You were chosen by the X-blades when it should've been me. I was destined to have them but instead they chose two weaklings such as yourselves." Sombra said, telling everyone why he did what he did.

Crimson and Sonic couldn't believe this, then they glared at Sombra before their pupils began to glow as they were going to enter Berserk Mode again. "Yes boys. Let the darkness within you grow, awaken the forbidden dragons, and produce for me the X-blades!" Sombra said.

The Mane Eight saw this and was about to stop them, but then Crimson's and Sonic's eyes reverted to normal. "What? Impossible? No one can break out of Berserk Mode so easily. It must be those anchors of light." Sombra said with surprise before turning his attention at the girls.

"You know what? I give up." Crimson said before dismissing his Keyblade.

Sonic did the same, then they both concentrated on the power within them and summoned out the ancient X-blades before tossing them at Sombra. "Here take them." He said.

Sombra and everyone was really confused by this action, then he asked if this was a trick before Crimson told him no. "We never wanted these to begin with. Their stupid and we don't even know why they chose us to begin with, so go ahead and take." He said, not caring about the X-blades at all.

Hearing this made Sombra believe that the boys really don't know what power the blades really have, but at the same time he picked them up and was very glad to finally achieve what he had always wanted.

But then out of nowhere the X-blades began to glow before their energies pushed Sombra away and releasing his grip on them. After that the X-blades glowed even brighter before transforming into their human forms.

They were wearing knight's armor, however one was light red and the other was bright blue. they wore capes as well, and looked very ancient. Everybody was very surprised to see them, including Sombra and no one knew what was going to happen next.

"The...the guardians of Kingdom Hearts. You've shown your true forms." Sombra said with shock.

"Yes. I am Alpha and beside me is my brother Omega. You Sombra have a heart of pure darkness and you desire destruction and calamity. We've seen what would transpire if you ever wielded us, you were going to reshape every world into your own image and bring about oblivion to all who would stand against you. We've chosen these two boys because their hearts have the right balance within them, light and dark." Alpha said with a brave and British accent.

"You extracted the darkness from them and made them unleash it's raw potential. But thanks to the light from their friends they were able to restore the balance inside. They are the rightful owners of their Keyblades and us Sombra. You will never wield us, not now and not ever until the end of time." Omega said with a strong voice.

Hearing this made Sombra become furious and he couldn't believe that the guardians of the heart to all worlds would chose two young boys over someone who has spent his entire life waiting for destiny to guide him.

"If that's your final answer then I accept it. But if I can't have you, then NO ONE CAN!" Sombra yelled out before releasing all of his darkness from within him and being engulfed by it. Minutes later he transformed into a Heartless dragon and took flight before releasing a powerful roar against his enemies.

"Crimson Nova. Sonic Blitz. You both carry our power within yourselves and the ability to summon the Kingdom Dragons. Are you boys ready to finish what Sombra had done?" Alpha asked.

Crimson and Sonic looked at each other before looking at their friends and their mother's body. "I am. You Sonic?" Crimson asked. "You know it. Let's end this together!" Sonic replied with a smile.

Crimson was glad to hear that and so were the Mane Eight, then they all joined hands to create the most powerful Drive Form ever created. Alpha and Omega provided some assistance to that as they offered their power to the ten children.

A bright light engulfed the altar, then after it faded a man wearing golden armor appeared. Not only that but the X-blades had emerged into one powerful sword known as the Sword of Harmony.

Wielding it the knight summoned forth his angel wings and took flight against Sombra. Standing in mid-air the dragon growled at it's enemy before using one of its claws to attack it. The knight made a barrier to defend himself against the attack, but then it used its other pair of claws and the knight dodged it without even trying. After that the knight dashed straight into the dragon to pierce it with his sword, however Sombra suspected this and used his giant black wings to protect himself. The dragon then unleashed a massive burst of dark flame, the knight dodged it but the flames were now on his trail and was catching up pretty fast. Looking back at what was coming the knight developed an idea, he soared straight into the sky above and used Reflectaga to protect himself and return Sombra's attack back at him. He used his wings again to defend himself, but afterwards the knight appeared out of nowhere and slashed right at his chest. It screeched in pain before grabbing the knight with his claws. Sombra began to squeeze it and wouldn't stop until his lungs were crushed, but the knight let loose a small yell before a flash of light blinded the dragon and made it let go of him. The dragon roared again before blasting another burst of dark fire. The knight warped away from it before reappearing at the same place. Then he believed it was now time to end the battle, so by raising the Sword of Harmony the golden knight started to say a ancient chant. "Dragon born from the depths of light and dark. Come forth and bring peace and love to all that stands against you. Harmony Dragon, I call for you!" The knight said, using a unison voice of everyone inside of him. With that said a large portal appeared in the sky, then coming out of it was a massive grey dragon covered with ten mystical orbs around it's chest. Each orb had a different color,dark red for Crimson, cyan for Lyra, dark blue for Sonic, violet for Twilight, orange for Applejack, yellow for Fluttershy, pink for Pinkie Pie, white for Rarity, light blue for Rainbow Dash, and light red for Sunset. The dragon unleashed a powerful roar within the sky and aimed it's attention at the dark dragon below it, then the golden knight raised his blade and made each orb on the dragon glow to help power up it's attack.

"Sombra, you never understood what live is suppose to be. Destiny isn't always right and by showing kindness and sincerity you would've been a great man, but right you only bring shame and disappointment to us. There are ten things that you have pushed away from your heart and we will tell you what they are." The golden knight said before the images of Crimson, Sonic, and their friends appeared and went into each orb while saying ten words.

"Honesty!" Applejack said. "Loyalty!" Rainbow dash said. "Laughter!" Pinkie Pie said. "Generosity!" Rarity said. "Kindness!" Fluttershy said. "Empathy!" Sunset said. "Magic!" Twilight said. "Compassion!" Lyra said. "Purpose!" Sonic said. "Courage!" Crimson said.

After those words were said the Harmony Dragon fired a rainbow burst of energy at the dark dragon. Sombra couldn't handle the power as he screamed in agony before reverting back to normal. He had his right arm covering his damaged left, then he glared at the golden knight before speaking. "How can you have this power? It was suppose to be mine. Xehanort told me that my destiny would be to wield the X-blades and yet you managed to wield it's amalgamation. My fate may be sealed by you, but you will never see your mother again. I shattered her heart and she will never wake up again, so even if you win you also lose at the same time."

The golden knight pointed his blade and Sombra and with one dash he reappeared in front of him and slashed his blade right through his body. Sombra coughed up some blood before his body started to fade away. The Harmony Dragon roared out in victory and in doing so it cleared out the dark clouds in the sky and now The World That Never Was had clear bright skies.

The citizens below saw the sun for the first time and they all smiled. They were happy to see it and it was unlike anything they had ever seen before.

The golden knight returned to the altar before splitting back into the twelve people who created him. As for the dragon, it disappeared and placed it's energy into Crimson, Sonic, and the Mane Eight.

Alpha and Omega were very proud of all of them for defeating Sombra and providing a new scenery for The World That Never Was. However for the boys it was a bitter sweet ending because even though they defeated the person responsible for causing so much pain in their lives, their mother will never wake up without a heart.

Everyone looked at Lucky and Crimson and Sonic had no idea what they were going to do about it. However Alpha and Omega offered them a suggestion. "Crimson Nova, Sonic Blitz, if you could, would you do anything to safe your foster mother?" Alpha asked. "Of course, we love her and we don't want to lose her." Crimson said. "Very well. As you know your foster mother is a Princess of Heart which means that her body can never turn into a Heartless, however me and Omega can add a new heart to help her live." He replied. "You can do that?" Sonic said with surprise. "We can. However in order for us to do it we would need to use a heart from any of you." Omega said.

Hearing that shocked everyone and most importantly it also meant that a sacrifice had to be made. Looking at their mother before looking at each other, Crimson and Sonic agreed to sacrifice themselves to that their mother could live.

"Boys no. I'm sure there can be another way or-" Twilight said before Sonic interrupted her. "No Twilight, we have to do this. I know that you all love us very much and that you don't want us to leave, but we don't want a puppet as a mother." He said.

Everyone began to feel sad after Sonic said that, so the boys raised their arms at them and they all gave them a big tight group hug. After breaking it Lyra and Twilight kissed their boyfriends on the cheek while small tears began to develop in their eyes. "Please don't this after everything that's happened." Lyra said to Crimson. He smiled her before shaking his head,"Sorry, but we have to." He said to her. Lyra accepted his choice as she nodded. Then as the boys walked over to Alpha and Omega Sunset went up to Crimson and gave him the tightest hug she could ever give to a friend. Fluttershy did the same with Sonic and from there they knew those two were going to miss them the most, so the boys hugged them back before breaking it.

"Okay, what do we have to do?" Sonic asked the guardians. "Impale yourselves with your Keyblades. Doing that will extract your hearts and then we'll be able to merge them to form a new heart and place it right into your mother." Omega said. "Sounds simple, but when you do that can you remove our darkness? I don't want our mom to feel any of it." Crimson asked with Sonic nodding to the idea. "Of course, but it'll need to go somewhere. Darkness can't disappear, it can only be channeled and controlled." Alpha explained. Hearing that Lyra, Sunset, and Twilight offered themselves to have Crimson's and Sonic's darkness. "Are you three sure that's what you want?" Alpha asked before they nodded. Crimson and Sonic agreed to that to because they believed the girls could handle it, but secretly they don't want them to have it.

After the discussion Crimson and Sonic summoned out their Keyblades, they smiled at each other before clapping their hands together one last time. Then after taking in a deep breath both boys stabbed each other with their Keyblades. After that they dropped them and the Keyblades disappeared; their hearts came out of their bodies and the guardians took immediate action as they gentle extracted the darkness from each heart and placed it inside the three girls who offered to have it. The darkness went into Lyra, Sunset, and Twilight as each of them was feeling different then before after it was finished. With the darkness gone Alpha and Omega merged the two hearts into one and placed it right into Lucky's body.

Crimson and Sonic were now glowing as they were about to fade away, but before they did they looked at their friends. "Take care of her, please." They said in unison. Everyone nodded to their request, the boys smiled at them before completely fading away.

Lyra cried from seeing this as everyone else began to develop tears in their eyes after saying goodbye to the boys. Alpha and Omega felt upset too because they've never seen Keyblade wielders that would do anything to protect those they care about, and now the big question was how they were going to explain this to their mom.

A few minutes later Lucky moaned a little before opening her eyes. She then rose up from where she was and saw the people around her. "Uh, where am I and what's going on?" She asked, having no memory of what happened to her after the Heartless attacked her. Everyone looked at each other and felt a little unsure about what they had to tell her. "Wait where are Crimson and Sonic?" She asked.

"Miss Charm, I am so sorry to say this, but your sons are gone." Alpha said to her. Lucky looked at him and Omega before speaking. "Gone? what do you mean? Where are my sons?" She asked in confusion before getting concerned. "They had sacrificed themselves to save you. I am sorry to inform you about this, but you had to know." Omega said with sympathy.

Hearing this made Lucky's heart heavy, but at the same time she didn't believe the guardians because she just met them and have no idea who they are. Lyra then took a step forward and explained it to Lucky, "Miss Charm it's true. We saw everything and they really did do that to save you after your was shattered by Sombra." she said with sorrow.

Seeing her upset face and the others having the same look, Lucky believed them and in doing so she covered her mouth before tears began to develop in her eyes and she fell onto her knees. "Boys, are you really- No. I won't let them go, they can't be gone, they can't." she said before she began to cry.

The Mane Eight comforted her as she was grieving. She then pulled her self together before getting up and focusing her attention on Alpha and Omega. "Can you bring them back to life?" She asked. Both guardians shook their head and told her that even with their god like abilities they can't resurrect the dead. This made Lucky and the girls feel even worse than before, but then the entire castle began to shake and everyone had to get out of it before it would collapsed.

Alpha and Omega warped everyone to the Brink of Despair before the entire castle fell apart. After that the guardians offered to send them home but Lucky and the others wanted more time to mourn. They both accepted their wish and disappeared, then everyone began walking into the newly bright city.

The World That Never Was: Memory's Skyscraper

While the Mane Eight and Lucky felt upset about everything that happened, everything changed when a ball came rolling at them. Lucky picked it up before a woman came rushing in with two masked boys following her.

"Oh hi there. Sorry about that, my brothers were playing and I told them to not play in the streets." The woman said while looking at her brothers with a firm look.

"No, it's okay here." Lucky said before giving one of the boys the ball. Then both of them removed their masks to show their faces to everyone and both Lucky and the Mane Eight got the shock of a lifetime by what they were seeing. The boy on the left looked just like Sonic, however his hair was black and his eyes were gray. The boy on the right looked just like Crimson, however his hair was blonde and he had light red eyes.

Everyone saw seeing splitting images of their boys as they were staring at them, but then the woman broke it off. "Are you all okay?" She asked. Lucky and the Mane Eight snapped out of it before coming back to reality. "Y-yeah, we're okay." Sunset said, acting normal.

"That's good. My name's Black Rose, but Rose is fine. And these are my brothers Blaze and Shadow." Rose said, introducing herself and her brothers.

"Nice to meet you. I wish we could talk some more but me and these girls need to get somewhere." Lucky said kindly. "Okay, we'll meet again soon." Rose replied before her and her brothers began walking off.

After that Lyra and Twilight felt upset because of how those boys looked just like Crimson and Sonic. Lucky comforted them and told them that even though they look like their boys they aren't and that it was for the best that they shouldn't know. Lyra and Twilight pulled themselves together and everyone agreed to those terms, but before they could continue walking they all heard screams coming from across the street.

Sunset, Lyra, and Twilight took immediate action and went to follow the sound with the others not far behind.

The World That Never Was: Avenue to Dreams

Arriving to where the screaming was coming from, the Mane Eight and Lucky saw Larxene and Vanitas with some Neoshadows attacking Rose, Shadow, and Blaze.

"Look who decided to show up. You all are just in time for the show to begin." Vanitas said with a devious voice.

"Why are you two here?" Sunset asked while glaring at them. "Oh nothing much, just wanted to take up some revenge and here you all are so that we can deliver it." Larxene replied.

Rose protected her brothers against the Heartless while the Dark Conquerors focused on the others and they were well prepared to put up a fight. If Alpha and Omega were around then they would be able to handle this, but since they aren't the Mane Eight are going to have to do this on their own.

Applejack, Rainbow, and Pinkie handled the Heartless while the rest dealt with the people in black coats. Lucky stayed back, but she did went along to protect Rose and her siblings too, however things took a dark turn as two Neoshadows blew them away and pierced their hands straight into Blaze's and Shadow's chests to retrieve their hearts. Vanitas grinned evily from this before using his Keyblade against Lyra, Sunset, and Twilight.

Rose watched in horror as her brothers faded away and no one could've stopped this because the Heartless had the advantage with quantity. "So sorry about that, I guess those two boys were quite the meal for our Heartless, but now it's time for them to move on to the main course." Vanitas said evily.

Rose was completely scared and shut her eyes to be prepared for the worse, but then a few seconds later nothing happened. The Heartless were now quietly stepping back a few feet and it looked like they were terrified of something.

"Uh, what's going on?" Larxene said. "The Heartless are...scared? What could they be afraid of then themselves?" Vanitas questioned.

"They were nothing more than normal people...and you killed them!" Sunset yelled out with her voice deepened. Everyone was surprised to hear that but then things got a lot weirder as dark auras took over her, Twilight, and Lyra. The three of them then glared at Vanitas before pushing him with an unknown force.

Lyra's hair then became wild while Sunset's and Twilight's were sticking upwards. Twilight's glasses had turned into the same type as Midnight Sparkle's and she even grew her wings. Sunset grew demon wings as well, but then everything became clear as each of them opened their eyes and everyone saw that they've entered Berserk Mode. The major difference here is that their pupils and irises were glowing instead of fading out, Lyra's were glowing yellow, Sunset's cyan, and Twilight's blue.

The rest of the Mane Eight, Lucky, Rose, Larxene, and Vanitas were all surprised by this, then the three girls raised out their hands and they each received a Keyblade. "Impossible! You three aren't Keyblade wielders?" Vanitas said with shock.

"We are now. And we will never forgive you for what you did!" Lyra said with a demonic voice.

Within a split second Lyra, Sunset, and Twilight disappeared, then in a flash each Neoshadow was attacked and faded away. As for the hearts that they took, they reverted back to the people who had them. Blaze and Shadow were back and they had no clue what was going on, but they did notice the girls they met earlier and was concerned about what had happened to them.

Larxene and Vanitas were a little terrified by this as well, but then they shook off their fears and were prepared to fight back. Larxene threw her lightning knives and the girls but in a split second Sunset deflected every single one of them without even flinching. "Vanitas, why do you have Sonic's face?" Twilight asked with a demonic voice. Vanitas smirked before speaking, "It's a long story, but if you want to know then I'll tell your corpse." He then charged at Twilight and swung his Keyblade, but Twilight defended herself before countering and dealing Vanitas a lot of damage.

Sunset and Lyra handled Larxene as she threw her lightning knives at them again before summoning out a powerful Thundaga spell from the sky. The girls took the damage and felt so much electricity going through their bodies, however the pain they felt from seeing Rose's brothers dying and Lucky's sons sacrificing themselves gave them more strength to keep going. So they did as they both double teamed on Larxene and showed her no mercy.

Twilight did the same with Vanitas and they weren't playing games anymore. Both Conquerors felt a lot of pain and they knew they were going to get killed next, so Larxene made a blinding light blast and gave herself and Vanitas a chance to escape.

Even though they defeated them Lyra, Sunset, and Twilight were still mad as they began to scream into the air, while this happened their auras began to grow.

Lucky had a feeling on why they were upset, it was because Blaze and Shadow looked like Crimson and Sonic, so went they got killed they snapped and went a little berserk, but she doesn't know how they became Keyblade wielders.

"Blaze, Shadow. Are you okay?" Rose asked while rushing up to her brothers and hugging them. "We're alright, but what's going on?" Shadow asked. "I don't know, but let's go home." She replied before the three of them left the area.

"Girls, you need to calm down! I understand that you're upset but you can't let darkness consume you. How would Crimson and Sonic would react if they saw you like this now?" Lucky said, helping the girls.

Hearing those names Lyra, Sunset, and Twilight remembered the last words Crimson and Sonic said to them. "Take care of her, please." Both boys said through a flashback.

They each knew the boys would not like what they were doing and so they returned to the ground before their auras vanished and they exited out of Berserk Mode. The rest of the Mane Eight and Lucky went up to them to see if they were okay, but before they asked a massive white creature appeared out of nowhere and was looking for a fight.

Clearly this was something beyond a Heartless and everyone had no clue how to fight this thing, but then more surprises came about as two Neoshadows appeared from on top of a building facing the white creature.

"Aw come on. More Heartless?" Rainbow Dash said with irritation.

Just as everybody expected the Neos to attack them, things flip-flopped as the Heartless jumped from the building and attacked the white creature with their claws. Then they bot kicked it before giving it a powerful double uppercut. The creature fell back and was now unconscious, so that gave everyone the time to find out what the hay is going on.

Lucky then noticed something different about the Heartless. One had red eyes while the other had blue. Seeing this gave her a huge theory to answer, "Crimson...Sonic...is that you?" She asked.

The Neos covered their faces from hearing those names and everyone was very shocked to notice that it was the boys, however their reunion was cut short as the white creature reclaimed consciousness and grabbed the Neos with it's hands before throwing them straight into the air.

Everyone watched this before Lyra, Sunset, and Twilight noticed the Keyblades in their hands. They threw them into the air at the Neos before yelling out their names, "CRIMSON! SONIC!" Everyone yelled.

Hearing those names again and seeing the Keyblades coming at them the Neos instantly grabbed them before being engulfed in light and changing back into Crimson and Sonic. Sonic summoned out another Keyblade while he and his brother were still in mid-air, then they both did a double Strike Raid on the white creature and it fell to the ground. As the boys themselves landed on the ground they rushed over to the creature and ultimately defeated it by attacking it's head. The white creatures dissolved into darkness after it's defeat, then the boys dismissed their Keyblades before clapping hands together as a brotherly reunion.

"Good to be back Sonic?" Crimson asked. "You know it." Sonic replied with a smile.

"BOYS!" The Mane Eight and Lucky yelled out before rushing up to them. Then Lyra tackled Crimson to the ground while Twilight did the same as they both began to endlessly kiss their cheeks.

"Hey easy there, we were only gone for like thirty minutes and you all come at us like what happened after we returned from our first adventure." Crimson commented. Everyone chuckled at that before the boys got up from the ground, then they saw their mom and was really happy to see her awake.

Lucky had mixed emotions from seeing her sons again. She was really happy to see them, but she was also mad that they had to sacrifice themselves, and upset that they would ever do such a thing. She raised her hand up and the boys had a feeling their mother was going to hit them for doing something really stupid, but instead she developed tears in her eyes before hugging both of her sons tightly.

"Boys, don't ever scare me like that again." She said with tears falling from her face while smiling. "We won't mom, we promise." Crimson replied while he and Sonic hugged her back.

After breaking up their hug she kissed both of their foreheads, then Crimson and Sonic smiled at their family around them before asking if everyone was ready to go home. They all nodded before the boys summoned out their Keyblades again and opened up a light corridor to enter through.

Canterlot High

Arriving back at their world everyone made to Canterlot High. There Celestia, Luna, and Diz were waiting for them and both principles were very happy to see Lucky alive and well. Diz noticed a different change to them all and thought best to not say anything at the matter. He then disappeared into a ray of light and told Crimson and Sonic that they would meet again soon. Even though they don't know much about Diz they trust him. "Boys, you're grounded." Lucky announced while looked at them.

"What? Why?" Sonic said with shock. "No, I mean your "grounded"". Lucky said as she pointed at the ground. "You both are no longer allowed to go to other worlds, except for Spirit Sanctuary." She added while crossing her arms. "Oh, okay." Crimson replied before him and Sonic shrugged. "And I don't want any kind of arguments from- Huh?" Lucky said before stopping and raising an eyebrow while having a blank face. "Mom, right now there's no better place for us to be there here, our home. Plus our sisters really need us and it's best for me and Crimson to take a break for while." Sonic said before he turned his attention to the Mane Eight. "Sisters?" Applejack asked. "Yeah. You all are apart of our family, so that makes you our sisters, but Lyra and Twilight are still our girlfriends." He added.

The Mane Eight were very happy to hear that before Crimson and Sonic felt their stomachs rumble and asked their mom if she could make some of her famous beef stew and rice for dinner. Clearly Lucky didn't know what do to at the moment, so she sighed and nodded as they all went home with the girls following.

Lucky's House

At the house everyone was completely shocked and surprised by how Crimson and Sonic were eating their food. (They're eating Goku style.) Both boys were eating pretty fast and had a total of five bowls empty but they were still hungry.

Pinkie was raising an eyebrow, Applejack had her hat covering her face, Rainbow Dash face palmed, Fluttershy covered her mouth while her eyes were wide, Rarity, Lyra, Sunset, and Twilight had shocked, confused, and disgusted looks, and Lucky just laughed nervously while twitching her eyebrow.

"Wow, and you all thought I ate fast." Pinkie said to the others.

A few minutes later Crimson and Sonic were finished and full. "Thanks mom, that was great *belch*." Crimson said before burping. "Yeah, you said it man *belch*" Sonic said before burping too.

"Eww, boys manners." Rarity said. "Oh yeah, excuse us." Crimson replied while laughing nervously.

"I never knew you two were that hungry?" Fluttershy asked. "Well our metabolisms are a different then most people and we really needed some food after everything that's happened." Sonic replied.

Everyone understood that, then the boys went into the kitchen to wash up the dishes while the girls talked to Lucky. "This is what you deal with everyday?" Sunset asked. "Kinda. But that's the price for being a mother and I live with it." Lucky replied.

"How does it feel to know that your a Princess of Heart?" Rarity asked with awe. "I'm not really concerned about that, but it does explain how I've always looked the same since I found Crimson and Sonic." Lucky replied. "Miss charm, I don't want to sound rude, but how old are you?" Twilight asked. Lucky wasn't nervous or surprised that anyone would ask her that, so she gave everyone her answer. "I'm 38." She said."38!?" everyone said with shock.

"And you still look like a twenty year old." Rainbow complimented. "Thank you, my appearance doesn't age too much, but at least I can still be around with all of you no matter what." She said kindly.

Everyone smiled from hearing that, then Crimson and Sonic finished up the dishes and told everyone that they were going to their rooms to rest for a while. "Okay boys." Lucky replied. "Oh girls, do you want to stay over for a while?" She asked the Mane Eight. They all nodded because they all felt a little exhausted from their short adventure.

Lyra then asked Sunset to follow her upstairs because she wanted to talk to Crimson about something and thought she should be included. Sunset nodded before the two went up. Twilight asked Lucky about what they discussed a while ago and she completely gave her permission to do whatever she was planning with Sonic.

Upstairs in Crimson's room he was just laying on his bed thinking about what went on today before getting a knock on his door. "Come in." He said. Lyra and Sunset appeared and quietly shut the door behind them.

"Crimson, can we talk?" She asked while feeling nervous about something.

"Okay. What's on your minds?" He said to both of them.

"We know it's been a long day and all, but we wanted to see if you were okay." Sunset asked. "I'm good. A little tired thought but I'm alright." He replied. "That good to hear." She replied while smiling.

"Another thing. It's about what happened after you turned into a Heartless." Lyra said. "Look I know that you two were worried for me and I'm okay with that, but how about we talk about this tomorrow." Crimson asked before taking in a yawn.

Seeing how he was tired Lyra looked at Sunset and they both agreed to talk about it tomorrow. Afterwards Lyra asked if she could sleep with him and offered Sunset the chance to join with them.

"Uh, are you sure Lyra?" Crimson asked with confusion and worry. "Yes. Just sleep because I have this scary feeling and I want to be with you to make it go away." She replied. "And you Sunset?" Crimson asked while looking at her. "Uh, sure. For some reason I'm having that feeling as well." She replied. Crimson found it really weird for his girlfriend and closest friend to rest with him at the same time, but as long as it's only that then it was okay. So as he was in the middle both Lyra and Sunset slept on different sides before cuddling with him. In his mind this would causing a lot of problems, but just for tonight he ignores it and they all fall asleep together.

Meanwhile at the same time Twilight had gone into Sonic's room. She had told him that she was heartbroken when he sacrificed himself and that she wanted to be with him for the rest of time.

"Sonic, I...I know it's been a long day and that you're probably tired, but if you want to then...I'm ready." She said nervously.

"Ready for what?" He asked.

"Intercourse. I don't know what our future might hold, but I don't want to waste any time finding out. So...that's why I'm asking if you want to "do it" with me?" She replied while blushing at the same time.

Sonic blushed too and believed that it was now his turn to "seal the deal" with his girlfriend. At first he didn't know how to respond, but seeing how worried Twilight was and knowing that it was wrong for him to leave her like that he gave her a nod. "Okay Twi. I'll do it if it'll make you feel better." He said.

Twilight went wide eyed from his response and nodded too. The two then shared a love filled kiss, then a few minutes they broke it and there Twilight took off her glasses and took out her hair pin. Then she began to undress and show her underwear to Sonic. She was really nervous about this and they both had no experience at all, but they'll wing it and see what happens. Sonic then took off his shirt before Twilight went on top of him and the two shared another love filled kiss before they began to share their love for each other.
