Xehorant attacked. In the Keyblade Graveyard, broken bodies lied everywhere. All of Sora's friends were broken if not dead. Sora, himself, was bleeding profoundly. Meanwhile, Xehorant was undamaged. He and the survivors knew they had no hope to win. All they could do was hope to weaken and seal him.

"Sora, watch out!" Riku yells. Sora looks and instinctively brings up his Keyblade, which is cracked in several places. The pulse of dark energy is blocked.

"Aqua, behind you!" Sora yells. Aqua turns around to cast Reflect but her reserves are too low. When she realizes this, it is too late.

"No!"

"Sora, please." Riku saids, trying to be calming.

"There isn't a lot of our friends left." Sora saids, voice cracking and trying not to cry.

"Yes, but don't let those who joined Kingdom Hearts be in vain." It reminded Sora of Vanitas. Even though he turned, it still wasn't enough. He was killed by Xehorant as soon as he put his Keyblade inside of him.

"We need to come moving." Riku said suddenly, bringing Sora out of his thoughts.

"Al...Alright." Sora replies hesitantly.

"It's alright. I'll protect you." Riku said softly.

"I can protect myself." Sora replies.

"Really?" Riku asks, "I leave you for five minutes and I come back and your bleeding." Riku saids joking.

"Love this sweet sentimental moment, but we are kind of in the middle of a life and death situation right now. Got it memorized?" Lea said.

"We know. I'm trying to stop Sora from having a mental breakdown right now."

"I don't think that matters right now..." Lea suddenly stops and falls face first into the ground.

"Lea!" Sora and Roxas yells.

"Roxas..." Sora starts.

"You killed him!" Roxas yells at Xehorant.

"I didn't kill him." Xehorant saids calmly.

"You bastard," Roxas saids, "I'll send you to Kingdom Hearts!"

"Do you think you can beat me, Nobody?"

"We should help." Sora saids to Riku.

"No. We are too injured. Roxas, stop! You'll get yourself killed!" Riku yells, noting that Roxas was running at Xehorant, further injuring his wounds and didn't seem to care.

"Hyah!" Roxas yells.

"Is that the best you can do, Keyblade wielder?" Xehorant asks, mockingly.

Xehorant fires a pulse of dark energy at Roxas who can't block due to his injures.

"Roxas!" Sora yells.

"Another Keyblade wielder down." Xehorant saids.

"We are not giving up!" Sora yells.

"A sweet sentiment but otherwise worthless." Xehorant saids.

"You won't win, Xehorant." Riku saids.

"And who is left besides you and the boy?" Xehorant asks.

Looking around, Sora realizes he is right. There is Kairi and Ventus together both cut in half, Terra who fell protecting Aqua, the King who was attacked from behind, Vanitas who betrayed him, and Xion and Namine who were the first victims of him.

"We will try our best. We own it to those who fell." Riku saids determinedly.

"Then you will fall together." Xehorant saids bringing his own Keyblade up.

"Let's work together. We have to." Riku saids to Sora.

"Right behind you." Sora replies.

Xehorant summons Dark Firaga but Riku jumps out of the way and brings his Keyblade down. Xehorant blocks and forces Riku back. Sora attacks using the opening Riku made but Xehorant uses a shield. Xehorant then spins, cutting Riku who falls to his knees in pain.

"Riku!"

"Sora!"

"Feel the last of your friends dying," and with that he cuts into Riku's torso, killing him.

"You'll join your friends soon enough, boy." Xehorant saids to Sora.

"I won't let their sacrifice be in vain!"

"You'll watch this again but be able to nothing about it." He then cuts Sora's lungs. The last thing Sora sees is the sung face of Xehorant.
