Falling into the darkness again. I couldn't see anything; I was surrounded
by nothing but darkness. I lost my staff. I still had my locket but it
wasn't glowing anymore. I grabbed it and thought: Take me to Sora! Nothing
happened I stayed in the darkness, falling backwards.
"It's no use; your magic isn't good here." Ansem smirked.
"I'm not afraid of you anymore!" I yelled into the darkness. I stopped abruptly, my locket glowing brightly again. I was flying, no longer falling. "You can't win! I won't let you!"
"So, you are going to stand up against me?" He asked, appearing in front of me, "Even though you can't win. You have no weapon, all you have is a locket that gives you magic. You can't use magic here, as you now know. So basically you're completely helpless."
I stood there thinking. "He's right," I thought, "I have no weapon or magic to defend me, so how can I win?" I closed my eyes, just as I started hearing laughing. It wasn't Ansem, but three friends. The picture of Sora and Riku racing to the Paopu tree, and with me running as fast as I could after them appeared. The air rang with our laughter as we reached the Paopu tree, Riku winning the race. I opened my eyes and looked down at the locket, which was glowing brighter than ever. I grabbed it and opened it, showing the smiles of the three friends gazing up at me.
"I might not have my staff or my magic, but I can win with my heart!" I said, looking at him, watching the look on his face change to confusion. "I have something you don't have that makes me more powerful than you without my magic or staff. I have friends!"
A bright light surrounded me, engulfing me, taking me elsewhere from the darkness. The darkness changed to light, and I was back on Destiny Islands. My home. Our home. I looked around, wondering how I got here.
"This is what happens if you believe that," Ansem's voice rang from somewhere, "Watch!"
I spun around to where I could see the Paopu tree. There we were, Riku, Sora and me. Sitting just like we were when I saw myself kill them. I shivered thinking of that image. I continued to watch, this time it was different, this time I wasn't going to kill them. I walked forward so I could see us better. I watched, as the other me jumped off the tree and walked forward toward the ocean. Sora then whispered something to Riku and they both jumped off the tree and walked toward the other me. As they closed in, they both drew their weapons, smiling. "Hey Kairi!" I heard Riku shout, as the other me turned around and screamed. In an instant they both were standing over my body, laughing as I slowly died.
"They wouldn't do that! I know now that my friends will always be there for me!" I yelled out to where Ansem could hear me. "You can't try and scare me with that; it just doesn't work like that anymore!"
"Do you really think that a girl like you and your friends can destroy me, the King of the Darkness?" He asked appearing in front of me, "Did you ever think maybe they are leading you into a trap?"
"Yes, I know that a girl like me and my friends can destroy even you, the king of all darkness. They would never betray me like that; I know that without a doubt." I replied. Somewhere in the distance, someone was calling. "Kairi, come back to us! Kairi please!" It was Sora and Riku.
"It's no use; your magic isn't good here." Ansem smirked.
"I'm not afraid of you anymore!" I yelled into the darkness. I stopped abruptly, my locket glowing brightly again. I was flying, no longer falling. "You can't win! I won't let you!"
