Ymke's POV- Hollow Bastion

The group dashed up a set of stairs that led to a small platform and a keyhole-shaped doorway filled with darkness. After Xenysis, Sora, Dragonose, and Ymke walked onto the platform, Donald and Goofy slammed into a force field of some type.

Dragonose and Xenysis, surprised: "Wha?!"

Sora: "Kairi!"

Sora and Xenysis ran over to a red-headed girl with a white shirt, a red-purple skirt, yellow arm bands, and a small necklace. She seemed unconscious. Sora kneeled down and rested her on his knee.

Sora: "Kairi, Kairi! Open your eyes!"

Riku, still possessed: "It's no use. That girl has lost her heart, she cannot wake up."

Sora: "What?!"

Xenysis: "You… You're not Riku."

Riku: "The keyhole cannot be completed so long as the last princess of heart still sleeps."

At that, Riku lowered himself slowly to the ground, holding the key to people's hearts. As he slowly descended, Sora contemplated what he just heard. Then, his eyes widened in realization.

Sora: "A princess…? Kairi's a princess?!"

Riku: "Yes, and without her power, the keyhole will remain incomplete. It is time she awakened."

Sora, determined: "Whoever you are, let Riku go!"

Xenysis, equally determined: "Give him back his heart!"

Riku: "But first, you two must give the princess back her heart!"

Riku pointed his keyblade at Sora and Xenysis, and they doubled over as a light came from the two of them. Donald and Ymke both screamed at the same time.

Ymke: "Xenysis!"

Donald: "Sora!"

Sora, confused: "Wha…"

Riku: "Don't you see yet?! The princess's heart is responding! It has been there all along. Kairi's heart rests within you, both of you!"

Sora: "Kairi… Kairi's inside me."

Ymke and Dragonose tried their hardest not to laugh, knowing that this was a serious situation they were in. Riku didn't get the joke, however, because he continued.

Riku: "I know all that there is to know."

Xenysis: "Tell me, who are you?!"

Riku: "It is I, Ansem. The seeker of darkness."

As Riku/Ansem strolled toward a kneeling Xenysis and Sora, Dragonose tried to defend them, only to be backhanded by Riku/Ansem, knocking him outside of the force field. Riku/Ansem aimed his keyblade at Sora first, and started a speech.

Riku/Ansem: "So, I shall release you now princess. Complete your keyhole with your power. Open the door, and lead me into everlasting darkness!"

Riku made a move to swipe at Sora, his face filled with insanity, when Sora blocked with the kingdom key just in time. He pushed back the key to people's hearts.

Sora: "You're not taking Kairi's heart!"

Riku/Ansem: "Oh, you really think so?"

Before Sora could even get into his battle stance, Riku/Ansem swung the keyblade and knocked Sora unconscious. Ymke noticed this, and shot a humungous firaga ball at Riku/Ansem, only for him to open a portal of darkness below her, and send her in front of her own blast. It hit, and Ymke was knocked off her feet. Before she could land, Xenysis caught her in his arms. If looks could kill, then Xenysis would've destroyed Riku/Ansem ten times over.

He summoned the Eternal Winter and Lover's Embrace keyblades, and transformed into an armor Ymke's never seen before. It was similar to Riku/Ansem's clothing, except that it had hints of Ymke's fire armor within it. The keyblades seemed to have melded with his gauntlets, and the armor seemed to hug every inch of him.

Xenysis pounced at Riku/Ansem, and used a spell no one used yet. At the swipe of the Eternal Winter, three walls of ice hugged Riku/Ansem's sides and back, keeping him from dodging the next attacks. Then, he cast fira on Riku/Ansem, and shot a sphere of darkness right afterward. Riku/Ansem absorbed the sphere of darkness, and jumped out of the way of the Ars Arcanum coming right afterward. Riku/Ansem filled his entire being with darkness, and started up a powered up sonic blade finisher, only to be blocked by Xenysis. Xenysis held a hand in front of him, and caught Riku/Ansem's attack in his palm. Then while Riku/Ansem was still filled with darkness, he forced him to hover. An Ars Arcanum came afterward, shredding Riku/Ansem's armor. When he was finished, Xenysis dropped him, and went to seal the keyhole. When he lifted the keyblades and aimed, however, nothing happened.

Ymke: "It won't work, the keyhole's not finished yet."

Sora: "What can we do?"

Xenysis: "I think we've gotta go wake Kairi up."

Ymke: "I think you're right."

Sora: "If we could free her heart. But… but how?"

Xenysis: "A keyblade that unlocks people's hearts… I wonder."

Sora: "Xenysis?"

Xenysis went over to the key to people's hearts, which Riku/Ansem dropped, and picked it up. By this point, everyone around him knew what Xenysis was going to do.

Ymke: "Xenysis, hold on!"

Sora: "No! Wait! You will not sacrifice yourself for Kairi, because I will."

After forcing it out of Xenysis's hands, Sora examined the keyblade intensely, then smiled to them like it was nothing. Then, he took the key to people's hearts, and stabbed it into his chest, making an unlocking motion with it. The keyblade disappeared, and he doubled over as seven spheres of light danced around the room, searching for their rightful owners. He felt the darkness overcome him.

Ymke ran over to Xenysis, and caught him before he fell. With tears in her eyes, she hovered her hand over his heart, and a green glowed appeared in it. She finished casting cure, and Xenysis slowly got up.

Kairi's heart, now whole, entered her body and she got up from a long sleep. Her first sight was Sora falling, and she quickly ran over to catch him. However, just before they made contact, Sora completely disappeared in the form of specks of light.

Xenysis: "Sora! Come back Sora!"

Kairi: "Sora, are you really- No, it can't be! I won't let him go!"

Xenysis's POV

A presence could be felt in the room, and a man with clothes similar to Riku/Ansem's stood in front of the group. The force fields dispersed, allowing everyone onto the platform.

Ansem: "So, you have awakened at last, princess. The keyhole is now complete. You've served your purpose. But now it's over."

Xenysis, defensively: "Don't make another move!"

Ymke: "Do you think we can stop him all by ourselves?"

Xenysis, whispering: "I don't know, but we have to try!"

As Ansem strolled over to the group, a force suddenly stopped him in his tracks. A figure made of light then appeared in front of him in the shape of Riku before he transformed.

Ansem: "Impossible!"

Riku: "No! You won't, use me for this!"

Kairi and Xenysis: "Riku!"

Riku: "You gotta run, the heartless are coming!"

And indeed they did. Shadows surrounded the group, and Xenysis dismissed them all with a single hand gesture.

Xenysis: "Riku's right. We have to go, now!"

Kairi nodded, and the group rushed out of the gates into the main room of the bastion. As Kairi, Ymke, and Xenysis hesitantly follow Goofy and Donald, we notice a lone shadow blocking our way out of the castle. However, this shadow didn't seem threatening.

Shadow: 'Hey guys, it's me. Sora.'

'Hold on a sec, did I just hear the heartless talk?' Only Kairi and Xenysis noticed what the shadow said, because everyone else were in their fighting stances. Kairi and Xenysis walked over to the shadow.

Xenysis: "Sora?"

Kairi: "Is that you?"

Goofy: "Uh-oh!"

When Xenysis looked around he saw that they were surrounded by shadows again. Xenysis tried to 'wave them off,' but it didn't work for some reason. He and Kairi stood in protective stances around shadow/Sora.

Kairi: "This time, we'll protect you."

As the shadows pounced, Kairi covered shadow/Sora with herself, and a glow of light could be seen, replaced by Kairi embracing a human Sora. He returned the embrace while Xenysis was left to fight off the shadows.

Sora: "Kairi, thank you."

Kairi, Donald, Goofy, and Xenysis: "Sora!"

Shadows appeared around them once again, and Xenysis was able to 'wave off' all but one shadow. Then, a certain Beast swiped at it, defeating it in one hit.

Beast: "Go, now!"

Sora: "Come with us!"

Beast: "I told you before, I'm not leaving without Belle. Now go, the heartless are coming!"

Xenysis: "All right. Let's get out of here."

As the group left, Xenysis could hear Beast fighting off the heartless on his way to the room where Belle was. 'Beast must truly love her. She's a lucky girl.'
