Hello and welcome to chapter 19 and the second half of the Battle against Organization XIII. Last time, Kagome shot Xigbar with one of her arrows and was able to cast Xehanort's heart out of him before Spiro finished him off. Now Hinata, Syaoran, Kagome, Tasha, Katara, and Kairi are about to join the brawl and it looks like both Xehanort's plans and Organization XIII are in trouble.

Chapter 19:

At the battlefield, Master Xehanort felt a strange feeling coming from one of his incarnations while fighting Yen Sid. To make matters worse the fragment of his heart that was inside Xigbar reentered his body. Upon feeling this, he thought, "What's this…? My connection to Xigbar has been severed…! Has the fragment of my heart that was inside of him been cast out?"

Throughout the battlefield, the Seekers of Darkness were still in the middle of the battle with the Guardians of Light and their allies. At first, the Seekers of Darkness were getting the upper hand as they were able to force the Guardians of Light and their allies into a corner. Suddenly, they felt the same sensation Master Xehanort felt earlier. They learned that Xigbar's connection to Xehanort had been severed.

"What the devil," Young Xehanort gasped. "Xigbar's connection to me and my future self has been severed? But how…?"

Mickey heard this and was just as shocked. "What, one of your Seekers of Darkness lost his connection to you?!"

"That is not your concern," Young Xehanort continued to fight King Mickey.

Above, Master Yen Sid heard what Mickey said and was quick to realize what had happened. Next thing everyone knew Spiro and Tasha flew back into the battlefield carrying Hinata, Kagome, Syaoran, Katara and Kairi on their backs. The moment they entered the battlefield, Kagome started aiming her arrows at the Seekers of Darkness. Having one in sight, she fired an arrow at it. Her target was Demyx.

On the ground, Demyx was still battling Inuyasha. The battle was not looking too good for the half-demon when suddenly Kagome's arrow came out of the sky and struck Demyx in the heart, casting the fragment of Xehanort's Heart out in the process. The moment the fragment of Xehanort's Heart was cast out, it returned to Master Xehanort while Demyx's power dropped rapidly back to normal. This gave Inuyasha the opening he needed.

"What's going on," Demyx asked. "My power just got weaker…!"

"Well too bad Nobody," Inuyasha smirked. "You're finished."

"WIND SCAR…!"

Inuyasha used his Wind Scar against Demyx one last time, killing him in the process.

Master Xehanort suddenly felt the fragment of his heart that was inside Demyx reenter his body and realized what happened to Xigbar was no accident. "Another one of my "heart bearers" has been taken out," He thought. "What's going on…?"

"Apparently Xehanort, you are now two Seekers short," Yen Sid smirked.

"What kind of trick are you pulling Yen Sid," Master Xehanort asked.

Suddenly Xehanort remembered Kagome and her powers. He then looked below and saw his suspicions were correct. Kagome was on Tasha's back, firing her arrows at the Seekers of Darkness to purify them. "The priestess…! Of course, she has purification abilities that rival those of the Princesses of Heart…! But why couldn't I see this coming?"

Next thing he knew Kagome fired more of her arrows at the Seekers of Darkness while on Tasha's back. Those who were not originally part of Xehanort himself like Saix, Luxord, Aros, and Kuxir, were easily subdued by her arrows while others like Vanitas, Ansem, Xemnas, Terra Xehanort, and Apprentice Xehanort were not so easily brought down. None of them were killed, but with the piece of Xehanort's heart removed, their power levels fell rapidly.

While Kagome was firing her arrows, Hinata, Syaoran, Kairi and Katara jumped off Spiro and Tasha's backs to help those they loved in any way they could.

Syaoran ran to Sakura who was still having a hard time with Luxord thanks to her kind-hearted nature. "Sakura…!"

"Syaoran," Sakura replied.

"How rude," Luxord created a barrier around the area preventing anyone from getting in or out.

The moments Syaoran hit the barrier, he was hit with an electric shock and knocked to the ground.

"Syaoran," Sakura gasped.

"You should wait your turn child," said Luxord. "The game isn't over until the game is finished."

Suddenly, Luxord sensed an ominous presence behind him. Looking behind, he saw that Sakura was not too happy with what he did to Syaoran. Next thing he knew Sakura glared at him in a way she had never glared at anyone before, including her brother, Toya.

"SWORD…!"

Sakura activated the Sword Card and used it to easily slice through the barrier, much to Luxord's shock.

Sakura then told him, "No one hurts Syaoran and gets away with it…!"

"WINDY…!"

Sakura used the Windy Card and blew Luxord away into a pillar of stone.

"FIREY…!"

While still using the Windy Card, Sakura activated the Firey Card and burned Luxord to a crisp, killing him.

After killing Luxord, Sakura ran to Syaoran hoping that he was alright. "Syaoran, are you alright," she called out.

"I'm fine, Sakura," Syaoran rubbed head. "But I'm surprised that you actually did that to someone."

Sakura then looked to the ground, knowing what Syaoran was talking about. "Yeah, I know. I guess I let my anger get the better of me, but that's not me."

"Save your emotional conflicts for later, Sakura," Syaoran pointed out to his girlfriend. "There are still other members of Organization XIII we have to take out before this battle is over."

Sakura nodded, knowing that Syaoran was right. She then activated the Fly Card and flew off to help the others in their battle with one of the Organization XIII members.

At the same time, Naruto was still battling Xemnas with everything he had. Having sensed several of the other Seekers of Darkness having met their end, Xemnas knew he had to end his battle with Naruto and fast. He flew right at Naruto and attempted to constrict him with his serpentine dragon form's body. Thinking fast, Naruto deactivated his Tailed Beast Avatar and flew out of Xemnas's grip. Once away from him, he re-entered Six Paths Sage Mode, took on his Tailed Beast Avatar once more, and continued to fight. "Nice try," he called out before making a few hand signs.

"SHADOW CLONE JUTSU…!"

Using the Shadow Clone Jutsu, Naruto created four clones and had them surround Xemnas in four different directions. All five then came at the powerful Nobody in an attempt to take him down using numbers. However, Xemnas managed to send two of the Naruto Clones flying away from the area. Seeing this as an opportunity, Naruto had his two remaining clones merge with him, creating a three-faced, six-armed construct. Upon its creation Naruto and Kurama began building up chakra for their next attack.

"You ready for this Kurama," Naruto asked Kurama.

"I have gathered about as much as I did during that battle with your friend," Kurama answered. "Here it comes…! Brace yourself…!"

In the distance, the third and fourth Naruto clones were absorbing natural energy from the around the area after being sent flying away by Xemnas. When it had gathered enough natural energy, the third was dispelled and the energy flew back to the original. Receiving the large amount of natural energy from the clone, Naruto created a Massive Rasenshuriken in his right arms and a Tailed Beast Bomb Rasenshuriken in his left arms. Upon creating the two Rasenshuriken, Naruto prepared to throw them towards Xemnas. "Take this…!"

"SIX PATHS: MASSIVE RASENSHURIKEN…!"

Naruto through both Rasenshuriken at Xemnas who quickly used his armored wings to shield himself from the damage, but it was no use. Once the two Rasenshuriken hit him, they both literally exploded in his face, causing a huge explosion and major damage to the Nobody.

The explosion was so big that the others around could see, hear, and feel it.

"So that is the power of the Sage of Six Paths," Yen Sid gasped.

"Oh gosh," Mickey gasped. "I'm glad I'm not fighting Naruto."

Suddenly, the shockwave from the explosion hit the area, sending everyone flying in the other directions. The shockwave was so strong it even hit the area where the Gummi Ship was.

"What the hell is Naruto thinking, using an attack that strong," Shikamaru asked.

"His opponent must be incredibly strong for him to use that," Kiba replied.

At the battlefield, Avatar Aang was still coming at Ansem with everything he had when they were suddenly hit by the shockwave caused by Naruto's attack on Xemnas. The young avatar quickly used several large boulders around him to protect himself from most of the damage while his opponent used barrier magic for the same thing.

Once the wave had passed by, Aang resumed his battle with Ansem. He used every "Bending Ability" on the Heartless he had. While the attacks did not kill him, they were enough to weaken him and Ansem could not find any room for a counter attack. Eventually, Aang used Raava's tentacles to snare Ansem and hold him in place.

"Here goes nothing," he said to Raava. "Ready Raava…?"

"Prepare yourself, Aang," Raava replied.

Upon using Raava's power, Aang used his energybending to bend Ansem's energy, trying to force him to return to his original form.

Throughout the battlefield, everyone took shelter or protected themselves from the shock wave using some sort of power. But once the shockwave was finished, they all resumed what they were doing. In one such place, Syaoran was still stunned by the electric shot of hitting Luxord's barrier. He was lucky enough to avoid any damage as he was right next to a large rock that took most of the shockwave. Suddenly, Katara appeared, having also used a large rock as shelter, and started healing him.

"Thanks Katara," said Syaoran.

"Try not to talk," Katara replied.

"What about Aang," Syaoran asked.

"Don't worry about Aang," Katara reassured Syaoran. "He's strong and tough. He can handle himself."

Meanwhile, Lea was battling Saix, hoping to somehow reach him, or rather Isa whom he still believed was in there.

"Isa, you have to stop this," Lea called out.

"As I have told you, I am not Isa," Saix shook his head. "I am only his empty shell, his Nobody."

"Come on Isa, I know you're in there," Lea insisted.

"You are wasting your time," Saix told Lea.

Suddenly Inuyasha showed up and said, "Well I'm not…!"

Inuyasha ran up to Saix and prepared to slice him with his sword. Saix quickly reacted and blocked Inuyasha from slicing him.

"You are not part of this conflict," Saix told Inuyasha.

"I am now," Inuyasha smirked.

Suddenly, Lea got in between them and turned to Saix. "Stay out of this Inuyasha," he looked at Inuyasha who was behind his back. "This is my fight."

"We don't have time for your personal manners Lea, or Axel, or whoever you are," Inuyasha replied. "We have bigger problems."

"You think I don't know that," Lea yelled.

Saix took advantage of the situation and attacked. "You shouldn't get distracted…!"

Inuyasha noticed this and blocked it with the barrier of the Tetsusaiga sheath. Lea then slashed at Saix with his Keyblade, sending him flying a few feet away from them. Inuyasha took advantage of the opportunity and attacked with Tetsusaiga.

"WIND SCAR…!"

Inuyasha unleashed the Wind Scar at Saix with tremendous force, causing major damage to the Nobody. The attack did not "kill" him but it did leave him badly damaged.

"Alright, the rest is up to you," Inuyasha sheathed his sword. "I don't know who that guy is, but if he was your friend, he isn't anymore."

Lea looked at Inuyasha as he spoke, then at Saix after he finished. He did not what to believe what Inuyasha was saying, but deep down inside, he knew that he was right and Saix had to die in order for Isa to return. With a heavy heart, Lea took a hold of his two Keyblades, walked up to Saix, and prepared to end him. "I'm sorry Isa. Please forgive me."

Lea delivered the final blow to Saix, "killing" him in the process.

At the same time, Ventus was having his own emotional battle with Vanitas. The battle was fierce as the two Keyblade Wielders came at each other with the intent of killing one another. One was driven by revenge while the other was driven by the desire to forge the χ-blade and complete Xehanort's plan.

"What's the matter Ventus," Vanitas asked. "Are you afraid of us merging and attacking your friend Aqua like you did last time?"

Ventus grunted.

"You know that there is only one way to take me down," Vanitas told Ventus. "You must give in to your anger as you did before. As long as I exist, you will never be able to sleep properly. You know that I…"

"Shut up," Ventus charged at Vanitas again.

"That's right," Vanitas whispered before blocking Ventus' attack.

The two got into a quick sword dual with Vanitas winning and Ventus on his knees.

"No, this isn't happening," Ventus panted.

"Now, you and I will once again become one," Vanitas prepared to merge with Ventus once more. But just as he was about to do so, something came in and stopped him.

"WINDY…!"

Sakura Kinomoto came in, activated the Windy Card, and sent Vanitas flying into a cliff, saving Ventus from merging with him. Sakura stepped right in front of Ventus and asked, "Are you okay?"

But Ventus only said, "Why are you interfering? This is my fight…!"

Sakura's Guardians then came in from her staff and protested.

"You should be thanking her," Yue said bluntly. "If Sakura hadn't stepped in, Vanitas would have succeeded in his plan."

Ventus gasped upon realizing what had just happened. While reluctant to admit it, he knew Yue was right.

Suddenly, Vanitas regained his footing and saw Sakura and her guardians next to Ventus. "You again…? What are you doing here?"

Sakura turned her attention to Vanitas and answered. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm stopping you from having your way…!"

Kero and Yue were impressed; they never thought they would see or hear Sakura say such things with such confidence. Ventus was also impressed that a little girl like Sakura would be able to stand up to someone like Vanitas. Vanitas himself however didn't like this at all. "You've made a big mistake…! I was going to merge with Ventus and take down Aqua, but I've changed my mind…! I'm going to kill you and your guardians first…!"

Vanitas then charged at Sakura and her guardians with the intent to kill. Sakura activated the Fly Card and quickly took to the air, evading Vanitas's attack. Vanitas pointed his Keyblade at Sakura, charged up and fired a big fireball at the young magician. Sakura noticed the fireball and flew away from it. Next thing she knew, the fireball split into three and began to home in on her. Realizing that running was not an option, she stopped and activated another card.

"SHIELD…!"

Using the Shield Card Sakura blocked Vanitas's attack. Ventus then took advantage of the situation and attacked Vanitas from behind his back.

Elsewhere, Riku was holding his own against his dark half, Kuxir. The battle was no different from Ventus' battle with Vanitas as both Vanitas and Kuxir were created from the darkness within Ventus and Riku. Riku slashed his Way to the Dawn Keyblade at Kuxir as it clashed with his Soul Eater. The two tried their best to overpower the other through physical strength alone. The result was a draw as both managed to push each other back several yards in opposite direction. Just when things could not get anymore crazy, Sora was seen flying right towards Riku, landing on his back right next to Riku.

"Sora, you okay," Riku noticed.

Sora rubbed his head, "Yeah, more or less. How's your battle going?"

"Do you even have to ask?"

Sora regained his footing just as Apprentice Xehanort showed up to continue his fight with the young Keyblade Wielder. Sora and Riku stood back to back as they faced off against their opponents.

"Okay Riku, I know facing your dark half is very important to you, but you don't have to do this alone," Sora explained to Riku. "I'm here to help you in every way I can."

"Thanks Sora," Riku smirked. "However, you have your own opponent to handle right now, and I doubt you can handle him and help me at the same time."

"Then you help me and I'll help you," Sora responded. "We're friends right?"

Riku agreed to this as he knew that Sora was right about them being friends and he remembered how both he and Sora worked together to take down Xemnas. But just before either of them could resume their fight against their opponents, Kairi stepped into the fray to help them both. "Sora, Riku…!"

"Kairi," Sora and Riku both gasped upon seeing Kairi.

"What are you doing here," Sora asked as Kairi stood next to him and Riku.

"You should be with the other Princesses of Heart," Riku added.

"I'm not letting you guys fight by yourselves anymore," Kairi answered. "This time, it's all three of us together as friends."

While Sora and his friends were in the heat of battle, his Heartless, Aros, and his Nobody, Roxas, were fighting busily for dominance between Heartless and Nobody. Roxas wanted to reunite with Aros so they could return to Sora, but Aros had no interest in doing that.

"Aros listen to me, you and I must return to Sora," Roxas pleaded as they clashed blades with Aros.

But Aros defiantly said to Roxas, "No…! I will never return to that foolish, "fake" Keyblade Wielder…!"

"What do you mean fake Keyblade Wielder," Roxas asked.

"You know exactly what I mean," Aros pushed Roxas away from him. "The Keyblade never chose him. He only gained it because Ventus' heart was connected to him, which is why you look identical to Ventus. Not only that, but the Keyblade our original self received was intended for Riku not us. You know that…!"

Roxas then remembered when Sora found out he was never meant to wield the Keyblade and realized Aros was right. However he also knew one other thing. "I know that the Keyblade never chose our original form, but that doesn't mean we can't keep fighting to protect our friends from creeps like Xehanort…!"

"You'll gain nothing," Aros attacked.

But before Aros could strike Roxas, another Keyblade Wielder appeared out of nowhere and stopped him. As both Heartless and Nobody looked at the said Keyblade Wielder, it was clear who it was they were looking at.

"Namine…?!"

Namine looked upon Roxas and replied, "We can say hello later Roxas. We have to stop this guy so you both can return to Sora…!"

Roxas was quick to realize what Namine said and replied, "Got it…!"

Roxas and Namine then teamed up against Aros. Using the combined strengths of both of their Keyblades, the two Nobodies defeated the Heartless and he returned to Sora. Before they returned to their original forms, Roxas and Namine looked to one another and said their goodbyes to each other.

"I guess this is where we say goodbye," Roxas rubbed the back of his head.

Namine giggled, "I'm not so sure about that, but I'll see you around."

"And I'll see you around every time Sora and Kairi see each other," Roxas replied.

The two Nobodies then return to their original forms with smiles on their faces.

Meanwhile Naruto reverted to his normal Six-Paths Sage Mode and looked upon Xemnas as he took on his final form. Having used up much of his chakra from his earlier attack, Naruto knew he had to finish this battle fast. Facing him, Xemnas, drew out his signature Ethereal Blades, the Interdiction. Noticing this, Naruto took two truth-seeking orbs, morphed them into spears/blades and prepared to battle Xemnas. The two combatants charged at one another and clashed blades with one another.

As they battled, Naruto threw his spears to try and pin down Xemnas. But the Nobody deflected the rods and teleported right in front of Naruto and began draining his energy. Naruto tried to escape from Xemnas's hold, but it was no use. The result caused Naruto's Six Paths Sage Cloak to disappear.

"Darn it," Naruto thought as his energy was rapidly drained. "I let my guard down…!"

"This is it, Naruto Uzumaki," Xemnas announced.

Suddenly, Hinata showed up and attacked Xemnas.

"EIGHT TRIGRAMS: AIR PALM…!"

Aiming for his arm, Hinata managed to free Naruto from Xemnas's grip, catching Xemnas by surprise. Knowing full well what a Hyūga was capable of, Xemnas retreated some distance to avoid a direct attack from Hinata.

"I won't let you hurt Naruto anymore," Hinata announced.

"So the Eighth Princess of Heart has come to rescue her prince," Xemnas said with intrigue.

"Hinata, what are you doing here," Naruto gasped upon seeing his girlfriend while getting back on his feet.

"I'm here to help you Naruto," Hinata answered her boyfriend.

Naruto was quick to realized there was no time for arguing and said, "Okay, but be careful. He's not a pushover."

"I know," Hinata replied as she activated her Byakugan.

Naruto then took out a soldier pill he borrowed from Kiba and prepared to replenish his chakra to assist Hinata. The pill also affected Kurama's chakra, causing his power to return to normal as well. Only seconds later, Naruto dispelled the other clone he created earlier, receiving the natural energy the clone had accumulated. Naruto's power was magnified as he went back into Six Paths Sage Mode without a problem. Naruto then took Hinata's hand and gave her some of his Six Paths Sage chakra, covering her with a Nine-Tails-like cloak.

"Let's do this Hinata," said Naruto.

"Right," Hinata agreed.

Naruto and Hinata then charged at Xemnas with their attacks.

"GENTLE STEP: TWIN LION FISTS…!"

"RASENGAN BARRAGE…!"

Meanwhile, Ventus and Vanitas then got into a sword dual once again. At first things were looking up for Vanitas, but then Sakura came down and joined the fight. Vanitas tried his best, but against the combined power of Ventus' strength and skills and Sakura's magic, he had met his match. The battle took its toll and Vanitas fell to his knees as Ventus had earlier.

"It's over Vanitas," said Sakura. "You and your master won't have your way."

But Vanitas only laughed.

"What's so funny," Sakura asked in confusion.

"You foolish girl," Vanitas replied with a smirk. "Now that my body is getting ready to perish, Ventus and I will have to merge."

"Oh, that's right," Ventus gasped upon remembering what Vanitas is capable of doing.

"Ventus, what does he mean," Sakura asked.

"Vanitas tried this once before on me," Ventus explained. "Prepare yourself, Sakura. You may have to fight me."

Sakura gasped upon hearing this. "What do you mean…?"

Vanitas then summoned some Unversed from his body and had them surround Sakura and Ventus. Sakura and Ventus tried to fight back, but it was no use.

"Don't worry, little girl," Vanitas walked up to Ventus and prepared to merge with him. "You're about to find out."

The next thing Sakura knew, Ventus and Vanitas were surrounded in a sphere of light, which expanded. Using her magic, Sakura finally broke free of the Unversed and rushed to stop the merge between Ventus and Vanitas, but she was too late. When the sphere faded, what she saw was Ventus' body with Vanitas's eyes and jumpsuit wielding an imperfect χ-blade.

"Just like old times," Vanitas spoke through Ventus' mouth. "But this time, I get to take on a pathetic little girl and finish what I started with her."

"What are you talking about," Sakura asked all confused before noticing the weapon "Ventus" was holding. "What is that weapon…?"

Vanitas smirked as he knew Sakura was referring to the χ-blade he was holding. "This is what the χ-blade is supposed to look like. This one however is imperfect. Master Xehanort tried to create his own χ-blade once before by having me and Ventus merge, but it didn't work the way he wanted it to."

Sakura suddenly shouted, "Ventus…!"

"That's not Ventus, Sakura," Kero spoke to her through the staff. "Vanitas has taken hold of Ventus' body and is using it to fight us."

"Keroberos is right," Yue said through the staff in agreement. "If you don't want to kill Ventus or let him kill you, you'll have to separate them."

"But how do I do that," Sakura asked.

"You don't, now let's finish what we started back at the castle," Vanitas took hold of the χ-blade and lunged Sakura.

At the same time, Sora, Riku, and Kairi were doing their best against Kuxir and Apprentice Xehanort. While fighting, Sora and Kairi felt their power suddenly spike. It did not take them long to realize that Aros, Roxas, and Namine had returned to their hearts and they were whole again.

"Sora…?"

"Yeah, I feel it two Kairi," Sora got a better grip on his Keyblade as he and Kairi continued to fight against Apprentice Xehanort.

Right next to them, Riku was still fighting Kuxir, but the outcome was no different than before Kairi joined them. Suddenly, Spiro came from right above Kuxir and attempted to crush him under his weight. Kuxir sensed this just in time and shielded himself with his Keyblade, minimizing the damage of the impact and forced the firedrake off his body.

"What do you want you overgrown lizard," Kuxir demanded to know.

"I want to ensure you're taken down and don't cause any more trouble," Spiro answered bluntly.

"Stay out of this Spiro," Riku yelled. "He's mine…!"

"Indeed," Kuxir agreed. "You don't have any personal grudge against Xehanort, so why are you interfering in Keyblade Wielder problems?"

Spiro looked away for a brief moment, and thought about what Kuxir said. He knew he was not a Keyblade Wielder, let alone, a Keyblade Master. He knew that he had never been out of his own world since his time in Homo Sanctuary as a prisoner, or a zoo animal in the eyes of the humans. But then he remembered the reason why he was there on the battlefield fighting alongside Keyblade Wielders and other people he had never met. It was the same reason he decided to help fellow Elemental Darts during the Dragon-Human War.

"If you're not going to say anything, then this is over," Kuxir shouted.

"You are right about one thing," Spiro began. "I have no personal grudge against Xehanort like Naruto or the Keyblade Wielders do. The only reason I am here is because you are harming those around me. It is a small reason compared to a personal grudge, but a reason nonetheless, and it is all the reason I need."

"SHUT UP…!

Kuxir lunged at the young firedrake dragon, his Soul Eater blade ready to slice through his flesh. Riku noticed this and moved to try and stop Kuxir from harming the Elemental Dart. But as Kuxir approached, Spiro reared up on his hind legs and prepared his powerful paws and talons to swipe at Riku's duplicate. Right when Kuxir was about to slash his Keyblade at him, Spiro swiped his right paw at him and slammed him to the ground, back first. Riku stopped right in his tracks upon seeing Spiro swipe Kuxir to the ground and remembered how powerful dragons were in combat.

Kuxir tried to get up, but Spiro placed his paw on his chest, preventing him from moving anywhere.

"And for the record, I do have a personal grudge against someone," Spiro said while looking down at his opponent. "And I am looking at him right now. It's not a big as Riku's, but I have not forgotten what you and your friend did to Sakura and I back at the castle."

"Stupid dragon," Kuxir swiped his Keyblade at Spiro, knocking him off his body.

As soon as Spiro was off of him, Kuxir continued his battle with Riku. The two got into another sword dual with one another and they continued until the two were sword locked, trying to push each other away. Suddenly, Spiro recovered and pounced upon Kuxir, slashing at him with his claws and deflecting his counter attacks with his armor.

Elsewhere, King Mickey was doing his best to take down Young Xehanort. But no matter what the Disney Icon did, he was only barely able to keep up. Just when things looked like they were going to take a turn for the worst, Inuyasha showed up and attacked Young Xehanort with his Tetsusaiga. Upon seeing the half-demon, Young Xehanort backed away from Mickey, avoiding Inuyasha's attack. Upon regaining his footing, Young Xehanort looked upon him in surprise while Inuyasha smirked upon seeing the younger version of Master Xehanort.

"You," Young Xehanort gasped.

"Happy to see me," Inuyasha replied sarcastically. "I've got a score to settle for that attack at that theme park, Disney… something… Oh, who cares what that place is called. I have unfinished business with you and that's all that matters."

"You barely stood a chance against me back there," Young Xehanort pointed out. "What makes you think you can fare any better now, than you did then?"

"I was holding back last time," Inuyasha replied, having Tetsusaiga turn black. "But this time, you don't stand a chance…!"

"Inuyasha, what are you doing," Mickey gasped.

"Just stand back, your majesty," Inuyasha prepared to swing his sword. "He's about to feel the full power of my Tetsusaiga…!"

"MEIDO ZANGETSUHA…!"

Inuyasha unleashed the Meido Zangetsuha upon Young Xehanort, firing a bombardment of crescent shaped portals to that led to the underworld at the Keyblade Wielder. Young Xehanort was quick to deflect Inuyasha's attack using his Keyblade to ricochet the attacks away from him. When the portals hit certain areas, they opened up into full circle shaped portals and instead of all of them leading to the underworld some were converted into portals to other worlds. Upon these portals opening, vortexes/vacuums started to pull everything close to these portals right into them, leading them either to the underworld or into other worlds, including ones that have not yet been visited.

"What the hell," Inuyasha gasped.

Young Xehanort was intrigued upon seeing this before the portals closed, leaving circular shaped marks where they landed. Young Xehanort then disappeared into a corridor of darkness, leaving Mickey and Inuyasha all confused.

"Interesting… When I deflected those portals, it somehow caused some of them to change in nature, turning them into portals to other worlds," said Young Xehanort as he disappeared into the corridor.

At the same time, Aqua was battling Terra-Xehanort. Although he had been weakened, Terra-Xehanort still proved to be a formidable adversary towards the young Keyblade Master and former friend.

As they fought, Aqua was still trying to get through to Terra. "Terra, I know you're in there…! You have to fight this…!"

Terra-Xehanort slashed at Aqua with his Keyblade in an attempt to cut her in half. Aqua quickly reacted and blocked the attack. Using her strength, she managed to hold off Terra-Xehanort's Keyblade slash.

"I already told you, this one's heart belongs to darkness," Terra-Xehanort pointed out to Aqua.

"I don't believe that," Aqua replied as she pushed Terra-Xehanort back.

Suddenly, Terra-Xehanort was hit by a strong current of air and sent flying into a nearby cliff and was restrained by earthbending. Aqua looked in the direction where the current came from and sure enough, it was Aang still in his Avatar State.

"Aang," Aqua gasped.

"Hello," Aang greeted politely, his voice a combination of his regular voice and those of his past lives. "I took down Ansem a few moments ago, so he should be returning to Terra any minute now."

Aqua looked and noticed Ansem's energy returning to Terra-Xehanort. "Thanks," she thanked the Avatar. "But how…!"

"I used my energybending to reverse the transformation," Aang replied as he went out of the Avatar State.

"Can't you just bend Terra's energy and turn him back to normal," Aqua asked.

"I can't, not until his Nobody is defeated to," Aang panted in his normal voice, now fully out of the Avatar State. "In the meantime, I need to rest from using the Avatar State for so long against such a strong opponent. Ansem was the strongest opponent I've faced so far, and I've never faced anyone who would put up a fight while I was in the Avatar State.

"Well, prepare yourself," Aqua preformed a healing spell on Aang. "Things are only going to get worse from here on in."

Aqua was right as Terra-Xehanort soon freed himself from the earthbending bind and began attacking Aang and Aqua once more.

Meanwhile, Sakura and her guardians were fending off Ventus-Vanitas as best as they could. Sadly, Ventus-Vanitas proved to be a formidable opponent. Using the Fly, Jump, and Through Cards, she managed to avoid any damage from her adversary, but she could not avoid his attacks forever. At the moment, Sakura was using the Sword Card to block the χ-blade from harming her, but Ventus-Vanitas's strength was proving too much for her.

"You can't keep this up forever," Ventus-Vanitas said, his voice sounding more like a cross between Ventus and Vanitas's voice.

"I won't abandon my friends," Sakura replied as she struggled to hold back the blade.

"Why would you consider them your friends," Ventus-Vanitas laughed as he gained the upper hand. "You hardly even know them. They came into your world and caused chaos within it."

"They aren't the only ones," Sakura countered.

Suddenly, Kero and Yue got on either side of Ventus-Vanitas and prepared to attack.

"Get away from our master," Yue fired his Lunar Ice Crystals attack at Ventus-Vanitas.

"Get away from our friend," Kero fired his Solar Flare Inferno attack at Ventus-Vanitas.

Seeing what was coming his way, Ventus-Vanitas jumped to the side in order to avoid the two incoming attacks. Successfully avoiding, Kero and Yue's attacks, he prepared to attack using the χ-blade explosion. He warped to the center of the battlefield and gathered energy. He then unleashed a massive burst of light that traveled towards Sakura and her Guardians in an X-shaped wave.

Seeing what was coming, Sakura used the Sword Card and was able to cut the χ-blade explosion in half before it hit her.

"SHADOW…!"

Sakura activated the Shadow Card and was able to trap Ventus-Vanitas in a ball of shadows. But after that, she collapsed to the ground and started panting. "I've never had to use so many cards in the course of one day," she panted. "Not even the Sealed Card put up this much of a fight…!"

Kero and Yue were also on their knees and were panting.

"Well, what did you think was going to happen," Kero pointed out. "Syaoran did warn you there were more powerful things out there than the cards."

"I know," Sakura agreed before seeing the shadow bubble rippling. "And the Shadow Card can't hold Vanitas for long."

"You have to fight back, Sakura," Yue pointed out. "Vanitas is even less sentimental than I am and won't hesitate to kill you once he's free."

"But I can't," said Sakura. "That's Ventus' body he's using."

Suddenly, using the χ-blade, Ventus-Vanitas finally broke through the shadow dome and prepared to kill the little magical girl. However, breaking free of the dome took a large amount of energy and Ventus-Vanitas was panting heavily because of it.

"It's over foolish girl," Ventus-Vanitas then lunged at Sakura.

Seeing this, Kero and Yue jumped in and protected Sakura from Ventus-Vanitas using their barrier abilities. Within minutes, Kero and Yue battled Ventus-Vanitas once more while Sakura pondered on a way to free Ventus.

"There's got to be a way," said Sakura. "I need a way to stop Vanitas without hurting Ventus. I can't just trap or restrain him like I did Yue. I need to separate them somehow."

Suddenly Sakura realized something. "Wait a minute," she thought. "If Ventus and Vanitas are fused, one light and one dark… that's it…!"

Realizing that she had a way to stop Vanitas without hurting Ventus, Sakura took out several of her cards and prepared to use her magic. But before she could activate her spell, Ventus-Vanitas broke through Kero and Yue and lunged at Sakura once more with the χ-blade in hand. Acting on instinct, Sakura activated the Sword Card and blocked the χ-blade slash to her body. The two got into a brief sword dual, clashing their swords several times before coming to a halt, Ventus-Vanitas slashing down on Sakura with the χ-blade and Sakura blocking the χ-blade with the Sword Card.

"I can't activate my spell with him attacking me like this," Sakura thought. "And the Sword Card can't stand up to the χ-blade for long."

Suddenly, Kero and Yue reappeared and attacked Ventus-Vanitas from either side, giving Sakura the chance she needed. "Kero, Yue, you have to hold him down," she called to her guardians.

Hearing their master, Kero and Yue and held Ventus-Vanitas in place. They did not know what she was planning, but they knew that she found a way to stop him for good.

"What are you doing," Ventus-Vanitas asked.

"I'm freeing Ventus from your possession, Vanitas," Sakura announced.

"LIGHT…!"

"DARK…!"

"TWIN…!"

Sakura activated the Light, Dark, and Twin Cards and used them in unison to separate Vanitas from Ventus. Kero and Yue quickly picked up on what Sakura was trying to do and used their power to amplify her spell. Vanitas tried his best to keep himself and Ventus joined together, but Sakura's magic was too powerful and her two guardians didn't help. Eventually, Ventus and Vanitas were finally separated and without Ventus' life force to sustain him, Vanitas simply faded out of existence and the χ-blade shattered.

"It's over Vanitas," Sakura panted. "You're done."

"Darn you, Sakura Kinomoto," Vanitas as he faded. "I won't forget this. Just you wait, someday I will return and I will get you for this…!"

Ventus regained consciousness just in time to see Vanitas fade away. He even heard Vanitas' last words before he completely faded away. After witnessing this, Ventus walked over to Sakura and placed a healing spell on her, seeing that she was exhausted from her use of magic.

Nearby, Naruto and Hinata were still battling Xemnas with everything they had. Xemnas was proving to be a formidable fighter for the pair, but they did not give up.

"RASENGAN…!"

"GENTLE FIST…!"

But Xemnas avoided their attacks and prepared to attack them from all sides. "Take this…!"

"ETHEREAL BLADE BARRAGE…!"

Next thing Naruto and Hinata knew, a series of Ethereal Blades appeared all around them in a dome formation and prepared to strike them from all directions. Realizing what was about to happen, Hinata prepared herself for the oncoming attack. She positioned herself right in the middle of the area the blades were going to attack her and Naruto, closed her eyes, made half of the Ram Sign, and prepared to use a technique that would protect them from the blades. Right when the blades started charging at them, Hinata fully opened her eyes and unleashed her defensive jutsu.

"PROTECTIVE EIGHT TRIGRAMS SIXTY-FOUR PALMS…!"

Using her incredible flexibility, Hinata moved her arms and hands in multiple directions and created a rotating net barrier dome around her and Naruto that deflected the Ethereal Blades as they came in. Xemnas was shocked upon seeing Hinata moving her arms and hands in such a way and with great speed, even creating such a barrier, and so was Naruto. While it was not the first time he saw it, it was the first time he saw it since they were children.

"It's that jutsu," Naruto thought upon recognizing the jutsu. "She used that during the Bikōchū Mission…! But it's stronger now, much stronger than I remember…!"

As she went on, Hinata began to lose chakra faster than Xemnas's attack was losing blades and her jutsu became weaker. Noticing this, Naruto grabbed Hinata's leg and channeled his chakra into her body, strengthening her jutsu just enough to outlast the blades.

After deflecting all of blades, a big flash of light appeared around Naruto and Hinata, blinding them for a brief moment. Once the light had faded, Xemnas moved in quickly to attack the pair, but Hinata used her increased strength and speed to deflect Xemnas's attack. Shen then used another technique to weaken Xemnas.

"EIGHT TRIGRAMS SIXTY-FOUR PALMS…!"

Using her Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, Hinata did a lot of internal damage Xemnas, bypassing his durability in the process. After hitting his chakra points, Xemnas fell to his knees and was barely able to breath.

"My turn," Naruto announced as he charged in for the final blow.

"RASENGAN…!"

Naruto slammed his Rasengan directly into Xemnas's chest, causing even more damage to the Nobody. Xemnas tried his best, but after being hit by Hinata's attack, he had no strength left to withstand Naruto's. Eventually, Naruto sent Xemnas flying straight into a cliff nearby. After falling out, Xemnas looked at Naruto and Hinata and noticed something with Hinata's eyes before fading away. "So, this is how it ends."

After Xemnas faded away, Naruto and Hinata looked at one another, and it was then that Naruto noticed something with Hinata's eyes. "Hey, Hinata, what's up with your eyes," he asked.

"What are you talked about Naruto," said Hinata, not realizing what was happening to her eyes.

Naruto then pulled out a kunai and showed Hinata the reflection of her eyes. What she saw was the Yin-Yang Symbol flickering in her eyes. A few seconds later, they disappeared completely and her Byakugan deactivated.

"Naruto, what was that," Hinata asked.

"I don't know," Naruto answered. "Anyway, we'd better get back to the others right away. This battle is far from over."

Meanwhile, Young Xehanort was still fighting against King Mickey, Kagome, and Inuyasha. He was fighting them from the safety of the corridors of darkness with Mickey and Inuyasha trying to slash him with their blades and Kagome trying to get a clear shot at him with her bow and arrow.

"WIND SCAR…!"

"RAGNAROK…!"

After escaping another attack Young Xehanort came in and attempted to slash Inuyasha and Mickey from behind. But just as he was about to attack, Kagome shot him with her arrow, stopping his attack.

"I don't think so," Kagome called out.

"You again," Young Xehanort gasped, not paying attention to his other opponents.

"Shouldn't have looked away," Inuyasha slashed at Young Xehanort with his claws, causing a serious wound to the younger version of Master Xehanort.

While the attack caused some damage to the young Keyblade Wielder, in moments the damage was repaired. It was as if it was never there to begin with.

"What is going on," Inuyasha asked. "I know I hit him, how can he regenerate?"

"It's not that," Mickey replied. "It's called Time Reversal ability. Each-time damage is done to him, he reverses time on himself and he comes out unharmed."

"Oh that's just great," Inuyasha grunted. "How are we supposed to defeat him if he keeps reversing any damage we deal to him?"

"You don't," Young Xehanort replied as he prepared to attack.

"WHIP WAVE…!"

Young Xehanort swung his Keyblade like a whip three times, releasing a crescent-shaped wave with each swing.

"WIND SCAR…!"

Inuyasha countered Young Xehanort's attack with his Wind Scar, destroying the waves.

Before Young Xehanort could do anything else, Kagome shot down him with her sacred arrow. The moment the arrow struck him, something strange happened. He tried to use Time Reversal and enter a dark corridor, but found that he was no longer able to. The moment Young Xehanort realized this, Inuyasha attacked with his Iron Reaver again, but this time he was not able to recover from the attack. The young Keyblade Wielder was now bleeding heavily.

Utilizing his opponent's blood on his claws, Inuyasha prepared for another attack. "Take this…!"

"BLADES OF BLOOD…!"

Inuyasha unleashed Blades of Blood attack on Young Xehanort. But just as the blades were about to hit Young Xehanort, he unleashed a powerful barrier that protected him from damage and also healed his injuries.

"What is that," Inuyasha gasped.

"Renewal Barrier," King Mickey explained. "It protects him from damage and heals him at the same time."

"A barrier huh," Inuyasha smirked and had his Tetsusaiga turn red.

Inuyasha then charged at Young Xehanort and attacked him with his Tetsusaiga. Young Xehanort naturally used his Renewal Barrier to protect himself, but this time Inuyasha was ready for it. His Red Tetsusaiga sliced right through the barrier like a knife through butter, canceling out its healing powers and leaving Young Xehanort defenseless.

"WIND SCAR…!"

Using his Wind Scar at point blank range, Inuyasha engulfed Young Xehanort in a wave of demonic energy.

Elsewhere, Sora, Riku, Kairi, Spiro, and Tasha were battling Kuxir and Apprentice Xehanort. Spiro and Riku were going at it two on one against Kuxir while Sora, Kairi and Tasha were having a three on one battle with Apprentice Xehanort.

On the one end, Spiro and Riku were having a hard time taking Kuxir down.

"GOLDEN BLAZER…!"

"DARK AURA…!"

Spiro and Riku unleashed their attacks at Kuxir. Once their attacks collided, Kuxir was caught in a big explosion. But much to Riku's surprise and just as Spiro suspected, Kuxir had survived the attack and prepared to counter attack.

"My turn," Kuxir announced.

"DARK FIRAGA…!"

Kuxir fired Dark Firaga at Spiro, launching a single, homing, dark fireball at the young firedrake. Spiro noticed the fireball coming at him and took to the wing to avoid the attack. But much to his surprise, the fireball started following him wherever he flew. Spiro did his best, but no matter what he did, he could not lose the fireball. Next thing he knew, Kuxir fired a second Dark Firaga at Spiro and the two soon caught up to the dragon. Upon hitting him, the young firedrake fell from the air and hit the ground, the dark flames engulfing him.

"Spiro," Riku gasped upon seeing Spiro hit the ground.

"Now it's just you and me," Kuxir laughed.

On the other end, Sora, Kairi and Tasha were battling Apprentice Xehanort when they suddenly, heard Spiro crashing into the ground.

"Spiro," Sora gasped.

"Oh no," Kairi gasped. "We've got to help him…!"

"Yeah, I know," Sora agreed.

"No don't," Tasha called out. "Focus on what's in front of you…!"

Sora and Kairi were shocked upon hearing Tasha say that, but were cut off by Apprentice Xehanort attacking them with his Keyblade. Sora and Kairi protected themselves with their own Keyblades and used this opportunity to counter attack. Both jumped away and swung their Keyblades at Apprentice Xehanort, hoping to do some damage to distract him. Apprentice Xehanort noticed this attack, but was too late to avoid it as they blades both struck him right in the face, sending him into the ground. Next thing he knew, Tasha tackled him, flattened him on the ground, and prepared to attack him point blank.

"SILVER BLAZER…!"

Tasha fired her Silver Blazer attack directly at Apprentice Xehanort's face, causing massive damage and seemingly killing him in the process.

Back at the other end, Kuxir/Riku Replica was battling against Riku, whom was seeking revenge for what seemingly happened to Spiro, when he suddenly heard the blast from Tasha's Silver Blazer. "Well, looks like your friend was successful," he said.

"Shut up," Riku shouted. "You killed Spiro…!"

Riku and Kuxir continued to clash swords with one another as the battle intensified for them both. Riku was looking to kill Kuxir for Spiro's "death" while Kuxir was trying to kill Riku to prove that he is real and not a fake. Suddenly, a firebeam came at Kuxir and sent him flying to the side. Confused, both Riku and Kuxir looked to where the attack came from only to be stunned to see Spiro still alive.

"What," Kuxir gasped.

"Don't count me out yet kid," Spiro panted.

"Shut up," Kuxir fired a second Dark Firaga at Spiro, hoping to kill him this time. But to his surprise, the dark flames did not harm him all that much.

"Is that all you've got kid," Spiro asked with a serious tone. "Let me show you why I'm known as the Elemental Dart of Fire."

The next thing Riku and Kuxir knew, the crystal on Spiro's chest plate glowed and absorbed the dark flames.

"Did that thing just absorb my fire," Kuxir asked.

"That is not all that it did," Spiro then unleashed flames from his mouth and had the flames surround his body like a cloak without burning him. Within minutes, Spiro was covered in blazing-hot flames that covered most of his body, say for his face. He had taken on his Phoenix Dragon Mode. Spiro took a deep breath, arched his neck, and shot a firebeam of highly concentrated dark flames like those of Kuxir's attack.

The young firedrake shot this firebeam at Kuxir and sent him into a large boulder nearby. Getting back on his feet, Kuxir prepared to fight back. Spiro shot another firebeam of dark flames while Kuxir fired a powerful lightning bolt at the dragon. The two attacks collided and created a beam struggle, forcing both opponents to add more power to it until they created an explosion. Again, Spiro shot a firebeam at Kuxir, seeing right through the smoke with his heat sensors and hitting his target.

As Spiro shot several more firebeams at Kuxir, Riku took advantage of the situation and attacked his dark clone with everything he had. Kuxir did his best, but the combined power of Riku and Spiro was too much for him and Spiro finished him off with a firebeam to the face.

In the air, Master Xehanort realized that his Seekers of Darkness were dropping like flies and he had to preserve the remaining members. "This is, this is unbelievable," he gasped while fighting Yen Sid. "My vestals are dropping like flies, and at the hands of these children. I can't lose all of my vestals."

After flinging Yen Sid away, Master Xehanort began to signal Young Xehanort and Terra Xehanort. "My vestals, to me," he called through a comlink on his coat.

On the battlefield, Young Xehanort and Terra Xehanort were still going through their battles when they received the call from Master Xehanort.

On the top of a cliff, Young Xehanort was cornered by his opponents. He had used his Teleport Lock to teleport away from Inuyasha's attack, but now he was cornered on the edge of the cliff.

"My vestals, to me…!"

Young Xehanort teleported away from his battle and went straight to his older form, know from the tone of his voice that something was wrong.

At the base of another cliff, Aang and Aqua were battling Terra Xehanort. Aang had recovered his strength thanks to Aqua's magic and was about ready to enter the Avatar State once more.

"METEOR…!"

Terra Xehanort summoned a meteor and it came down on his opponents. But Aang used his earthbending to get a hold of the rock and smashed it to pieces as if it were glass.

"My vestals, to me…!"

Hearing Master Xehanort's call, Terra Xehanort used the destruction of his meteor to run away from Aqua and Aang.

"Where is he going," Aang asked.

"I have a feeling that Xehanort is on to you and your friends," Aqua replied.

In the middle the battlefield, Young Xehanort and Terra Xehanort suddenly appeared on either side of Master Xehanort, surprising Yen Sid.

"What is the meaning of this Xehanort," Yen Sid asked, acting like he did not already know what was going on.

"Apparently, those youngsters you told to stay out of this mess have proven to be more trouble than I originally believed them to be," Xehanort replied, acting cool while seeing right through Yen Sid's bluff. "Only two of my vestals remain as the rest were either purified or destroyed, but no matter, I'll simply have to make more. And I think I'll start by using some of your guardians."

Suddenly Kagome's voice sprang out, "Not a chance…!"

Master Xehanort looked around him and saw that the Guardians of light and their allies were all gathering around him and his remaining Seekers of Darkness. "Well, well, well," he said. "This is quite a party."

"Do not flatter yourself, Xehanort," Tasha replied. "We're not letting you create any more of your Seekers of Darkness."

"We shall see," Master Xehanort turned his attention to his younger self. "Stop them."

Young Xehanort prepared to use his time manipulation ability. But when he tried using it, he found that he couldn't use it. He tried and tried, but nothing worked. "What's going on," Young Xehanort gasped. "I can't use my time manipulation…!"

"What," Master Xehanort gasped.

Suddenly, Master Xehanort noticed a barrier around his younger self. He then noticed that one of Sakura's cards was glowing along with the star on her staff. "What is this," he gasped.

"I'm blocking your magic with the Shield Card, so you won't be able to manipulate time or time travel," Sakura explained. "Aang, now…!"

Next thing Young Xehanort knew, Aang appeared in front of him and used earthbending to restrain him with rocks around his wrists and ankles. Aang then placed his hands on Young Xehanort's forehead and chest.

"What are you doing," Young Xehanort asked.

"I'm taking your power over time away for good," Aang explained.

Both Young Xehanort and Master Xehanort were horrified as they had forgotten about Aang's energybending in all the chaos.

"No, I will not allow that," Master Xehanort turned to Terra-Xehanort. "Stop him…!"

Just as Aang was getting ready to bend Young Xehanort's energy to take his time powers away, Terra Xehanort charged at him to stop him from doing so. But just as he was about to stop Aang in his tracks, Kagome shot him down with her arrow, shoving the fragment of Xehanort's heart of out and turning Terra back to normal.

"No," Master Xehanort gasped upon seeing Terra return to normal.

Next thing he knew, Aang finished taking Young Xehanort's power over time away, preventing him from ever time traveling again.

"Your turn Sakura," Aang called out.

"Right," Sakura agreed as she pulled out two other cards.

"RETURN…!"

"ERASE…!"

Using the Return Card, Sakura sent Young Xehanort back to his original time, preventing him from reviving the other seekers of Darkness. And using the Erase Card, Sakura erased Young Xehanort's memories, preventing him from doing any more harm. Now only Master Xehanort himself was left.

"It's over Xehanort," Naruto called out.

"We're bringing you down," Aang added.

"My Seekers of Darkness, gone," Master Xehanort said unusually in disbelief. "My vestals… they have all been purified."

"That's right Xehanort," Kagome drew her bow. "And you're next…!"

Not seeing any other way, Xehanort used his Keyblade to open a corridor of darkness and prepared to leave the battlefield. "You may have destroyed my Seekers of Darkness, but that does not matter. We shall finish this another time, when all the pieces have been combined together…!"

Master Xehanort then left the battlefield and entered the corridor.

"Oh no, you don't," Naruto followed him, not wanting Xehanort to prepare himself again.

"Naruto wait," Sora went after him.

"You're not taking all the credit for this," Inuyasha followed as well.

"Guys we must not be hasty," Aang also followed.

"We need a plan," Spiro followed.

"Hey, wait for me," Sakura was the last to follow.

"No, you fools," Yen Sid tried to stop them, but it was too late.

"Naruto," Hinata tried to stop Naruto, but was stopped by Aqua.

"Don't," Aqua stopped her.

The Corridor of Darkness then disappeared. Upon that, the Guardians of Light and their remaining allies just stood there completely shocked that Sora and his new friends just jumped into a Corridor of Darkness of all things.

"Master Yen Sid, what's going to happen to them," Ventus asked.

"I do not know," Yen Sid answered. "Going into a Corridor of Darkness like that is dangerous. They may end up falling into a trap or worse. We can only hope that they can make it through and prevail over Xehanort and his forces. But now we must return to my tower and ensure that the Princesses of Heart are safe."

And that was chapter 19. Well now, looks like Organization XIII is gone and Naruto, Sakura, Inuyasha, Spiro, Aang, and Sora are all about to engage in one final confrontation with Xehanort. The question is, where will the Corridor of Darkness lead them to? You won't want to miss the next chapter where our heroes will face off against Master Xehanort. Stay tuned.

PS: Sorry if some of the battles were a little short.

Chapter 20: The Battle against Master Xehanort
