Taking a calming breath Elrena turned her attention to their vessel. Her companions had already started to arrive much to her surprise given the early hour. Among them stood a rather imposing suit of armor wrapped in a red cloak. Everyone seemed to present save for that hothead Axel. A small part of her wondered if he had chickened out on their battle to come.

Making her way to their transport a portal opened behind her. Glancing over her shoulder she watched as the flame-haired keyblade warrior marched out. He fixed his shirt as he walked his eyes trained on the ship. Reaching the group he slipped through them leaning on the ship his eyes moving to the ground. Silently the remains of Sora approached him fitting themselves into either side of him. Instinctively he hugged them turning his attention to the group in front of him.

"So whose flying this candy-colored mess of a ship?" Axel snapped as the hatch opened

As the hatch opened Tifa came into view resting against the side of the ship. Behind her, Leon could be seen with Cid at the pilot's seat. Also aboard was Yuffie and Vincent the cloaked gunner loading his weapon. How had they all gotten here without anyone noticing?

"Well, obviously the best pilot in all the worlds will be the one flying this beautiful machine hothead." Cid quipped loud enough for everyone to hear

"Yeah the old man has this flame brain so chill out would ya," Yuffie muttered flipping a shuriken between her fingers like one a coin

"I ain't old!" Cid snapped pressing a few buttons on the console

The group gave a weak laugh as they boarded the large Gummy ship. All eyes were on the armor as it delicately sat beside Kairi. The female warrior paid them no mind slipping under his cloak. Across the ship, Elrena clutched a knife in her gloved hand pressing its handle to her lips. On this knife, she vowed she would come home to him. She had earned her happy ending.

Tucked away in the corner Axel held a new keychain in his palm. It looked just like her snowflake made of pure blue crystal. The chain was braided pale blue ribbon with a platinum clip. The charm seemed to glow like a prism giving off a rainbow of every point. Once they landed he would clip it on and see what his love had given him.

From his place in the cockpit Cid watched the sky shift to one of dread. In his gut, he could feel they weren't alone out here. His fears were confirmed by the sound of a massive roar erupting nearby. He spun in his seat to seat to see a flock of giant raven heartless flying toward them. The beasts moved like a great black cloud slowly circling the ship.

Just as the avian monsters surrounded them green flames flickered. As the bird monster roasted Maleficent's dragon form came into view. Her monstrous form ripped and tore through the enemies pushing the ship forward. As the ship rushed away more of the ravens seemed to appear from nowhere. As a portal opened in front of the ship Maleficent gave a mighty roar tearing into her first opponent.

In pure rage, The Horned King crushed a crystal orb in his skeletal palm. He couldn't believe those fools had gotten this close to his world. His corrupt home would be too much for their flimsy hearts and he would have more puppets before knew it. His rage turned to some form of joy at the thought. With a wave of his hand, a horde of heartless appeared bouncing like hyper children. With a mere glance, the monsters were off in puffs of smoke.

"Come warriors of light and be extinguished." The King whispered
