***********************************************************************
Me:*Listening to Simple and Clean, slow version, again*Gaaaaaaaaah, I'm obessed with dis' song.
Riku:Gee, really?You only listen and sing along with it whenever you have your CD player,and have it playing in your head when you SHOULD be paying attention to Your Math Teacher's lectures.
Me:Geez, shut up*hums chorus*
Sora:*nods*Yeah, it's not like you don't talk enough during MY game.
Riku:What do you mean YOUR game?
Sora:I mean I'm the main charecter, your the evil Meany who attempts to kill me*counts on finegrs*Uhhh, Crystal-chan, a little help?I can't...uhhh......can't count past three^^;;;;
Riku:*Laughing really really hard*
ME:*Shoot's Riku evil glare**turns to Sora*He is the reason for nine of the boss battles in the game, therefore he has tried to kill you, NINE TIMES!!
Riku:SO NOT TRUE!!!!
Me:Uh huh, *Pulls out list she made while playing Kingdom Hearts*This everything you ever did to Sora-kun in the video game of Kingdom Hearts.
Riku:oO;;;;; You took Notes?
Sora:And drew pictures^^
Me:Anyway's, here's the list of your Murder attempts on Sora-kun...
1.When you fight the big cage heartless thingy in Monstro, that is Riku's fault, cause you never would have run into it in the first place is Riku didn't steal Pinnocio(Not that I mind that, I HATE pinnocio, But still, it's a murder attempt)
2.The second time you fight the big heartless Cage thingy, Riku Leaves you to Friking Die, Murder attempt I tell you.
3.When you are captured and on Captain Hooks Ship, Riku leaves you in the haul of the ship to be killed by the Heartless(Yeah, he dosn't actully SAY that, but what else are the Heartless gonna do, tickle him?)
4.When you're just about to get to Kairi on the ship, Riku sends an evil copy of Sora at you(oh c'mon, TELL ME he wasn't trying to kill Sora)
5.When Riku Takes Sora's keyblade, tell's Sora he's basicly worthless,and then just leaves him there to die.
6.When Riku shoots that beam at Sora when Sora is DEFENCELESS, good thing Goofy is around, ne?
7.First Boss fight with Riku, TELL ME Riku wasn't trying to Kill Sora.
8.When Riku turns Malnificent into a dragon and leaves her to kill Sora (Who care's if Ansem is in control here, IT'S RIKU WHO'S DOING IT!!!)
9.When Riku/Ansem is about stab Sora(again, Sora is defenceless, and AGAIN Ansem is in control, but I STILL SAY IT'S RIKU'S FAULT!)
10.When you fight Riku in the Second Boss fight, if you say Riku isn't trying to kill Sora there I will laugh SO hard.
Riku:That's ten, not nine
Me:Oh, well, I'm spotting new attacks in the game all the time.Ok, uhhh...anyway's...read..........Oh, also, note that this entire chapter switches to diffrent P.O.V's, that'll be happening alot from now on, just to tell you^^

*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************
The dark figure known as Lucifer looked into an orb."Damn...."The devil cursed under his breath."The brats friends are here, I cannot have that, it could interfere with my plan. Hmmmmmmmmmm..............Wait, I have an idea....."Lucifer said with a smirk.And placing his clawed hands upon the Crystal orb, he began to chant a spell.
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Sora winced painfully as another heartless slammed it's claws into him. He felt dizzy and weak from blood loss.
The heartless laughed, how do heartless laugh? Sora didn't know, he just knew they were making these weird sounds, and knew it was laughter. He didn't know heartless could laugh.
Blood dripped from gashes that covered his body. They hurt like hell.
"So, is the little keybearer having fun?"A heartless taunted. Or maybe it was just Sora's imagination speaking. Whatever, it seemed to be the heartless talking.
The heartless that seemed to be speaking was a rather large invisable. It flew up to Sora's face and backhanded him.
Sora glared at it weakly.
"Pfft, your pathetic. Thoguht you could save the world from us, you can't even save yourself."The invisable laughed coldly and the other heartless joined it. It backhanded the boy again."Why did you even do this?For what, those so called friends of yours? Ha. They don't care about you. You want proof?Riku betrayed you, Kairi left you to become a heartless, You SHOULD still be one of us.Pathetic boy."
"Shut up."Sora growled."My friend's do care about me."
"The darkness will destroy you."The invisable taunted.
"Wrong. You may destroy me, but my heart will always remain with my friends."
"Spare me your friendship rant, weakling."The invisable barked and smacked Sora once more.
"You are the weak one, heartless."Sora replied."You hide from the truth, the light is always there. But you pulled the veil over your eyes, and refused to see it. You are no better then I once was, when I refused to see the darkness, when I was a child. But even then, I have learned that there is always light."With that, the keybearer passed out.
The Invisable growled, thinking the boy was dead."Lets' go tell Malnificent."It sneered.
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Riku, Kairi, Leon, Yuffie, Goofy, and Donald made thair way throguh the castle of Hallow bastion.
"Are we there yet?"Yuffie and Kairi asked at the same time.
"No."Riku and Leon would reply.
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"NO DAMNIT!!!"Leon yelled.
"SHUT UP!!!"Riku howled.
Yuffie and Kairi laughed.
Doanld rolled his eyes."Girls."He muttered.
Kairi turned around and got right in Donald's face and stared at him.
"Uhhhh...what?"Doanld asked.
Kairi countiued to stare.
"What is it Kairi?"Donald demanded.
"YOUR ONE OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Kairi yelled and ran over and hid behind Yuffie, who was cracking up.
Donald shoke his head.Goofy started grinning at him.
"What?"Donald demanded.
"Huh huh.....I got new socks on^^"Goofy said.
Donald fell over anime style.
Riku growled and walked back."WOULD YOU GUYS STOP MESSING AROUND?WE GOTTA SAVE SORA!!!!!!NOW IF YOU DON'T JUST COME ON ALREADY,AND STOP PLAYING AROUND LIKE A BUNCH OF PRISSES, I'M GONNA FREAKING KNOCK OUT ALL OF YOU AND LEAVE YOU HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kairi, Goofy, and Doanld all blinked, then nodded."Ok!"
Yuffie saulted him like she was in the army."YES MA'ME!!"
Riku growled."SHUT UP YA LITTLE BRATTY SLUT AND COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"He screamed in her face.
Yuffie blinked, then answered seriously."O-ok..."She was silent the rest of the trip.
They countinued tromping throguh the castle silently, much to Leon's poor ears joy.
Suddenly, the entire area became pitch black.
"What the-"Kairi said but she shut up when a figure entered the room.
"Hey!Are you the freak who turned off the lights?WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?"Leon demanded.
"Because you will interfere with my plans, and I cannot have that."The figure said, and waved it's hands. The darkness closed in on the six heroes, who screamed.And then all was black.
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Lucifer laughed to himself. He had ruined thair rescue attempts, they could not excape thair deepest fears. They were trapped, and all was going according to plan.
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Leon's P.O.V*
I looked around. Darkness. That was all there was. Nothing but darkness.
"Where am I?"I asked."Yuffie?Donald?Goofy?Riku?Kairi?Anyone???"
A vioce laughed."They are not here, Squall Leonheart. they've all left you. Your hardened heart drove them away."
"What?Left me?"
"Why yes, Sqaull. You scared them away. You hurt them. You hid yourself form everyone, and in turn, they've all left you."
"Even.......Even Yuffie?"
"Yes, you finally discouraged her, she has givin up on you."
Image's appeared before me. One by one, each of my friend's, dissappearing before my eyes.
"No..."I wispered."They all left me."
"Yes Sqaull, they have, they no longer care for you.You are all alone now."
"No...No no no no....."I wispered the same word, over and over.They were all gone. I'd been too cold hearted. And Sora was doomed. I fell to my knee's, the aguish of this all apparent on my face. And the vioce just laughed.
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Donald's P.O.V.......Gahhhhh...*
I looked around."Goofy.........where'd you all go?I get it, this is mess with the duck day, VERY FUNNY!You can come out now....Hello?"
A vioce laughed coldly."Poor poor little duck. All alone. You cannot hide your fears little duck. Your scared."
"I'm not scared."I growled, muttering obsanity's in my odd duck language.
"Oh yes you are.You mask all of your true feeling's, and the result?You are now a worthless weak little duck, with no friend's, no hopes, no dreams.Your pathetic and worthless."
"You said worthless twice."I said pointedly.
"Shut up, I'm a nightmereish disembodied vicoe, you can't talk back!"
"Oh......Now what?"
"FEEL BAD STUPID!!"
"Oh.."I said."I feel bad......"
The disembodied vicoe slapped it's forehead."I am so not getting paid enough for this........."
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
(Yes, I'm skipping Yuffie and Goofy, since Goofy is pretty much the same as Donald, and I don't know enough about Yuffie^^;;;;)
*Kairi's P.O.V*
Sorrow and darkness.That's all there was. That's all that was here."Riku.................Yuffie, Leon...anyone?"I called out.
A laugh came through my mind."Wha?"
A shadow appeared before me."Your deepest fears come to pass, Litlte one.."It said before dissappearing.
"What the..."
Sora and Riku appeared before me, laughing on the beach."Yeah, she was such a slut."Sora was saying.
"No duh!"Riku said."I cannot belive you even acted like you liked her."
"I never liked her. I was just doing that because you dared me, remember?" Sora sneered.
"Yeah, no one would like that slut."
Tidus bounded up to them."Who are you guy's talking about?"He asked.
"That slut Kairi."Sora said with a harsh laugh.Tidus and Riku laughed too.
"W-what,........"I said, tears forming in my eyes, my heart broken."N-no.......S-Sora.....Riku......They hate me....."
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Riku P.O.V.*
Darkness.Nothing but darkness.Like me, cold and completely......evil. No, I couldn't be thinking like that. I had to save Sora.
"Why should you care of him, Riku?"A vioce demanded. The shadow's shifted around me."You don't deserve to be realesed from the darkness. It's where you belong after all you've done."
"Leave me alone."I growled.
"Why?You should be grateful for even my company, after all you've done. You wouldn't be able to save Sora anyway. The darkenss will swallow you once again, and you'd just hurt him, like you did everyone else."
I recoiled, I didn't want to hear this. I'd already heard it million's of time's, coming from myself.
"That's right. You nerely killed Sora, ten times. Oh wait, now you actully have killed him, your responsiable for your own best friend's death. If you weren't so weak, you wouldn't have been captrued, and he wouldn't have been captured. He would still be on that island. If you weren't so weak, if you hadn't givin into Darkness, Sora would still be himself, he would be his joyful self. You ruined it for everyone. And who has paid the price for your stupidity? Sora."
"Leave me alone."I wispered again.But I knew it was true.
"Your a weak-minded fool Riku.You gave in to darkness, and Your friend's paid the price. Just look at how people look at you. Everyone fears you now. And they should, as you even hurt your best friend, why should they not fear that you may hurt them too. You are trying to save someone who suffer's because of you. I mean, you've caused so much of the keybearer's pain. Let's not forget the constant 'Don't you want to save Kairi?' things?Oh and the fact that you were a total friend hog, and you took Sora's keyblade, told him he's worthless, and tried to kill him ten times!!!TEN!!!!! And now he's finally going to die because of yoru pathetic actions."
"Shut up, shut up.."I wispered, but I knew it was all true. And there was no point in denying it.
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Sora P.O.V*
I Floated throguh an endless viod. Nothing mattered. All that ment now was suffering. Atleast it would be over soon.
"You mussant think that Sora.."A vioce wispered.
"What?Why not....I'm gonna die. Atleast it will all end.."I said sadly.
"No it won't, for you, it may end, but for the rest of the world everything will just begin."A teenge girl appeared before me. She had silver angel wings.She wore a glittery blue spegetti strap belly shirt, and baggy sparkly black jeans.Her shoulder length blond hair glittered. Her blue eye's looked through me. And I belived every word she said."When you die, Lucifer will gain the power he needs to control the worlds. All whom love the light will forever be broguht into suffering and torment.You can't give up and let that happen.If anything, you cannot give up, especially now, your friend's are captured, in a manner of speaking.
"Where are they?"I demanded.
"Lucifer has them trapped within thair deepest fears. If anything, you cannot give up, for thair sake."The girl explained.
"What do I do?"I asked.
"Sora, you have to free your friends."
"I knew that, it's kinda obvious!But how?"
The girl smiled sadly."That, I cannot tell you. You must discover that on your own."She began to vanish."If you succeed, perhap's I will come before you once more."She vanished with the wind.
"Why does everything I meet dissappear?"I demanded to the darkness."Well, if you think it's gonna stop me, your wrong!It dosn't matter what happens to me, what matter's to me are my friends."
Six doors appeared before me, I don't know why.(Gaaaaaaaaah...I don't care if it's plot hole, Work with me people's, my brain is starting to hurt with the Thinking I've been doing.......)My friend's vioce's drifted from each one.
"Guys!I'll save you!!"I cried and rushed into the first door.
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Leon's P.O.V*
I just wanted to die. What was the point of living? They'd all left me. Even Yuffie. And it was all my fault.I just wanted to die."Why can't I just end it. It's all over. It's all lost. Game over, man. WHY?"I demanded of the darkened sky. It was dark and empty, just like me.Darkness began to cover me(think on destiny island when that dark stuff is covering up Riku)
"Leon!!"A vioce called out to me. Light shone throguh the darkness. There was a slashing sound and the darkness around me dissappeared.
I looked up."Sora!!"I cried, jumping to my feet, Trying to figure out if this was real. There standing before me, grinning, was the fourteen year old keybearer."But...how?Your captured,wh-.....did you escape?"
Sora's grin dissappeared."Unfortunetly no, Leon, I'm still captive."
"Then how can you be here?"
"The heartless Knocked me out, but it's like I said, our hearts are connected, so even if we're appart, no one is alone. I may not be free yet.."Sora reached his hand out to me."But I can free you. You just gotta trust me."
"B-but...what about you?"I asked.
"Don't worry about me, what matter's more are you guys."He said."Now take my hand, trust me. Do you?" Darkness was coming back."Do you?"He asked again.
Did I?Did I trust this naive fourteen year old with inhuman hair(IT DEFIES GRAVITY WITHOUT GEL, MAN!!It's adorable...BUT NOT RIGHT)So did I?"I trust you."I siad simply and took the boy's hand.
There was a flash of bright light, and the darkness was ellimanated instantly.The light grew brighter....brighter...........
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Yuffie's P.O.V(no, I don't feel like typing what happened before Sora came, DEAL WITH IT)
Everyone hated me.I sat on my knee's, my head in my hands. I'd failed.All I'd done was try and make everyone happy, but I geuss I overdid it."I don't even deserve to live........"I whimpered.Darkness began to over take me. Who cared?"Yeah, go ahead.."I wispered, tempted to just give up and let the darknes destroy me.
"YUFFIE!!!!!!!!!!!"A vioce cried out. I looked up, trying to see through the darkness.
"Sora!!"I cried,Trying to stand up."B-but...how????"
"That's not important!!You gotta get out of there!Don't let the darkness take you!"
"B-but....why should I?Everyone hate's me,no one like's a nice girl, I drove eveyrone crazy,and now they all hate me.I should just give up..."I said, and the darkness grew.
"Yuffie, Don't give up!Everyone dosn't hate you, Your the reason so many of them can go on!!Don't give in to the darkness, fight it!!"Sora cried, his hand's clenching into fists.
"I-I can't!!"I stammered, for once, showing fear.
"You can Yuffie!"Sora said."Now say you can!"
So could I?Could I go on?"I-I can!"I cried.Light burst through my world, gorwing brighter......brighter.......
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Donald's P.O.V*
I growled. I was SO confused. The vioce said I was sapposed to feel bad. Maybe it was right. Everyone alway's just picked on me. Maybe I should just stay here.Sora was doomed anyway.
Shadow's were growing behind me. Ah, who cared?
There was a burst of white light, and the shadow's dissappeared. I turned around."Sora!!"I cried, and rushed over to him.
"Hey Donald."He said cheerfully.
"H-hey.............How did You get here?I tohught you were dead.GAH!YOUR A GOUST!!!!!!!!!"
Sora laughed."I'm not a goust. I'm still alive, just not escaped at this particular moment anyway.So why are you here anyway, I thoguht you weren't afraid of anything."
I would have grinned sheepishly, cept I don't have any teeth, so I settled for rubbing the back of my head."Weeellllllllllllllllllllll the mysical vioce thingy said I was sappsoed to feel bad....so..........I did."
Sora blinked."What mystical vioce?"
"ME!!!"A big huge vioce boomed.
Sora fell over anime style,and toppled the dark stuff. It was like the cheap set of a school play. It toppled right over, revealing a tiny shadow heartless talking into a microphone.
"Um...........heh heh.........hiya^^"The heartless said, waving it's little claw.
Sora smirked and bonked the heartless on the head. It toppled over, and hit a light switch, there was a flash of white light, and-
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
(I'm skipping Goofy cause basicly he's the same as with Donald. Again, DEAL WITH IT!!!!I'm a lazy bum, just like Sora^^;;;;;;;;;)
*Kairi P.O.V*
"Nobody like's me, everybody hate's me, geuss I'll go eat worms..."I sung outloud glumly."Nobody like's me, everybody hate's me, geuss I'll go eat worms......"
"Kairi!!!!!!!!!!"A vioce called out to me. I looked up, and my eye's narrowed.
"Sora."I said, looking at him with anger in my eyes.
"Kairi?What's wrong?"Sora asked, walking closer.
"Get away from me."I growled.
"W-what?"He stepped even closer.
"You heard me, get away from me.You hate me, so stay away from me."
"What are you talking about?"Sora asked.
"Everyone hate's me. I'm a slut, you said so yourself."I said, turned with my back to him.
"What?I never said that."He said.
"Yes you did!Don't deny it!"I yelled and turned around, slapping Sora in the face."Everyone hate's me!"
Sora blinked and rubbed his cheek."No one hate's you Kairi. We all love having you around. Destiny island's would be such a boring place without you there to brighten everyone's day."
"Really?"
"Really."Sora said, a smile creeping upon his face.
"Sora...."I whispered, tears coming to my eyes. He was alway's smiling."Sora."I cried and ran to him, embracing him."But, how? How can you be here?"
"Remember what I said back in the secret waterway of Traverse Town, how our hearts connected?Even if we're appart, we're not alone anymore.Cause we're together in our hearts. I may not be free, but I came here to help you guys."
"So your not free yet?"
"Not yet."
"Oh Sora, I'm so sorry."
"For what?"
"For slapping you. That was wrong of me."
"It's ok Kairi. You were confused, that's all."
"But I got you into this whole mess. You wouldn't even be stuck with thsoe freaks if I hadn't..."
"Shhhhhhh..."Sora said, silencing me."It's not your fault. And I'd rather die then live knowing I let you guy's be harmed."
"Sora.."I wispered his name once again and hugged him tighter, closing my eyes. There was a bright light, and....
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Riku P.O.V*
The darkness envolped me. Again. It wasn't like it was anything new to me. After all, darkness had taken me before. Only that time I didn't know, or did I? Maybe I should just give in. It wasn't like I deserved to live, anyway. After what I'd done, I deserved to die.I suppose being taken by darkness once more couldn't be much worse.I just wanted it all to end.I closed my eyes.
"Riku!!!!!!!!!!"A vioce called out to me, one that was fermillair.No, it couldn't be.
I looked up anyway."S-Sora..."I said.I jumped up and tore throguh the darkness to my friend."Is it really you?"
"Yeah, it's me."My friend said with a smile adorning his face.
"Sora,.......I'm sorry."I said.
"For what?"
"For everything. It's all my fault this has happened, my fault for all of it. If it wasn't for me, none of this would be-"
"Riku, I do not blame you for any of that."Sora said gentaly.
"But if it wasn't me, none of this would have happened. You'd still be your happy self, everyone would be happy. I'm just the cause of everyone's pain."
"No your not Riku. Your my best friend. And it dosn't matter what did in the past. What matter's is now."
"And right now your being held captive by maniac's who want to tear you limb from limb and laugh demonicly while you bleed to death.And why?Because I was too weak to escape."
"Riku, I don't care about all that. You guy's matter more to me then anything else. And I'd protect you all with my life."
"But you'll probly die at this rate."
"And I'd rather die a million death's then live through one knowing I let one of you guy's suffer.Ok?You don't have to beat yourself up over it. I can forgive and forget, so you can to?Ok, Riku?"He reached his hand out to me, simalar as to what I did so long ago on that ngiht on Destiny islands. But this time, it was an invitation to light. Not darkness.
I smiled and took his hand."Ok, then."I wasn't going to fret over darkness anymore. I could forgive and forget. And I was going to fight for the light.
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Sora's P.O.V*
I exited from the last door, and stood back. Light streamed from all six doors.And I saw my frined's dissappear from each one. I held my keybalde high in the air,and it gleamed a gentle blue. The door's pulsated with light and dissappeared, never to trouble my friend's again.
The keyblade dissappeared along with the doors.
"Well done Sora, well done."The girl's vioce came to my ears. I turned around to see her floating there.
"Did I do it?Did I free my friends?"
"Yes Sora, you have."
"Then have I changed anything?"
"Every action change's the future, Sora-kun."
"Then will this all end?"
She smiled sadly."It will end. But when it does, will you still be you?"
"What?What kind of qestion is that?"
"One that only you can answer."The girl said before vanishing.
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Third person P.O.V*
Riku,Kairi,Donald,Goofy,Leon, and Yuffie all opened thair eye's at the same time. They all looked at each other, There was no doubt, Sora had saved them, And now they had to save Sora.
"Let's go."Riku said, turned around to face the Castle chapel. He knew Sora was there. And he was coming to save him.
Riku Fans:YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!GO RIKU!!!!!!!
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Needless to say, Malnificent was quite angery when she found out Sora was "dead". She was even more angery when she found out he wasn't dead, merely unconcious.
"YOU IMBECILES!!!!!!!!HE'S NOT DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!HE'S KNOCKED OUT!!!!!!!!YOU WERE SAPPSOED TO KEEP HIM AWAKE!!!!!!" She growled in rage. However, insetad of atatcking the heartless, she decided to focus on her punching bag. She summuned water energy into her palm and blasted Sora with it.
Sora coughed up blood and opened his eyes. Oh yeah, his personal hell. Not a pretty dark area. A nice, scarey, spooky chapel with torches burning green fire, yup.He noticed Malnficient was no longer in her usual attire, but rather a Black and blood red robe. A green skull gem rested upon her coller, and a gothic star, underneath the robe was.....a red belly shirt!!!
"AUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHH!!IT'S HIDDIOUS!!TAKE IT AWAY!!!"Sora screamed in mock fear, though the sight before him was pretty grusume.
"Shut up child!!I felt I needed a change, and beside's, your end will come soon, you shouldn't be careing about my taste in clothes."Malnificent's staff glowed blood red once more.
Sora winced in pain, but was too tired and beaten to scream, he hung his head, but his face was twisted into a grimace of defiance."You can't destory me."He said weakly.
"Yes I can, I will summun the ultimate darkness unleash hell upon you, and ultimately bring forth your demise."Malnifcent sneered.
"We'll see about that Malnificent!!!"A fermailler vicoe cried out.
Reviewers:YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Wha...."Sora murmered weakly and looked up. His vision blurred, and slowly cleared to reveal the forms of.....
"Riku, Kairi......"Sora said, a slight smile coming across his feature's as the darkness finally made him pass out.
Riku burst into the room, Leon, Yuffie, Doanld and Goffy at his side, all bent on one thing, kicking Malnificent's butt.
Kairi rushed to Sora's side. "Sora.."She said, her vioce filled with relife and saddness at the same time.Riku and co turned to Sora to ensure thair friend was ok.
Sora weakly opened his eyes."Guys..."He said, wincing in pain once again, as Malnificent's attack still hadn't faltered,
Malnificent took this chance and fled the room.
Riku and Leon both drew thair blade's and slashed at Sora's bonds. The keybearer fell to the floor in a heap. His shoulder's shoke weakly.(You know how if soemone is really hurt or tired they'll start to shake?Yeah...just had to clear that......)
"Oh Sora.."Kairi wispered and threw her arms around him.
Sora smiled weakly."Hey guys, what's up?"
"Well, you should be for one thing."Yuffie joked gently as she helped the boy to his feet.
Sora shoke weakly and would have fallen once again if it weren't for the fact that Riku cought him. Sora coughed into his hand and it pulled away bloodily.
/What have they done to him?/ Riku wondered as he helped his best friend stand. However, he decided not to ask Sora this."C'mon, let's get outta here." He said instead.
The gang began to head for the exit, but a vioce stopped them.
"Where do you tihnk you're going?"It demanded.
"We're taking Sora home."Riku growled.
A figure appeared in front of them. It was a man, he lookedi n about his twenties. He ahd long, flowing silver hair with black streaks. His skin was a deep tan. Various scars lined his face. A long torn slik black cape fell down his shoudlers. A sword hung in his belt, as well as some arrows. A blood red pitch fork was in his right hand.He wore a black elather torn muscle shirt, and black leather pants. His finegr's ended in garnled, inhumanly sharp claws, and torn black dragon winsg erupted from his back. But what really got you were his eyes. His eyes were like a cats, and a terrifiying blodo red that tore throguh you and saw your deepest fears. This, was Lucifer.
"Hand over the keybearer. He die's here."
"No he dosn't, because his friend's are here with him."Leon said.
"Hand him over!"Lucifer growled and summuned dark energy into his palm, sending it headng streight for Sora. Riku took the hit.
"Gah!"He said, wincing painfully as the attack sent him slamming into the ground and go entirely numb.
"If you will not allow me to destroy him, I sappose I will have to give his death to each of you, too."Lucifer spoke darkly.
Sora hauled himself to his feet."No Lucifer, leave my friend's out of this."He said, weakly but defiantly.He coughed up more blood.
Lucifer smirked."So, I sappose goody two-shoe's Sora can't handle seeing his friend's killed off when he should be the one to die?Hmm...that sound's liek fun, no?"He sent a wave of energy at Sora, hurling him into a wall. He pulled a black arrow from his belt and slashed both of his wrists. The blood flowed out of them and became dark energy. Lucifer held up his pitch fork and the drak energy began to swirl into it. He slashed his chest and more blood poured.
"Darkness, come to my aid.
Accept my offering,
Blood of a demon,
Darkness,
Encapture light within your spell,
Destroy all, create nothing but pain,
These's children had a quest
It was all in vain
To rescue the keybearer
Was thair aim.
Now it end's here
There will be nothing but fear.
Today they all die
So heed my cry
They all escaped wrath before
But this time
Light is no more!"
Lucifer smirked coldy as his skin re-knit itself. The last drops of blood entered the glowing black pitchfork. And then Lucifer slammed the three points of the pitchfork into his chest. Blood poured from the wound, and dark energy flowed inside of Lucifer, and darkness came from every flame in the area and into the body of the demon. Lucifer smirked, and glowed with balck and blood red energy. His eye's glowed with firey blood red power."Prepare to die." And then, he sent all of the dark energy at Sora's friends.
There was no way to dodge the atatck. Riku realized this. And there was no way to survive it either.
"NO!!!!"Sora screamed and pulled himself up, and ran between the attack and his friends.
And then it hit.The energy slammed upon the keybearer. Sora cried out in pain and there was a flash of white light.
When Kairi opened her eyes, Sora floated in the air, glowing a dark red. His eyes were closed in obvious pain.
"Fool!"Lucifer cried."Why take an attack for them?Are you so blind, you'd give your life for them?"
"Sora!Why?"Kairi cried, too shocked to move.
Sora opened his eyes, and answered."Because my friend's mean more to me then any treasure,mroe to me than my own life."He spoke to his friend's specialficuly." I told you, I would do anything for you guys.. It dosn't matter what happens to me. What matter's to me are you guys. No matter how deep the darkness, a light shine's within. And for me, that lgiht's you guys.I'd gladly give my life for you guy's, any day. And if that be today, so be it. If my sacrifice kept my friend's from suffering, then it was all worth it. And my heart will stay with my friends.For deep down, there is a light that never goes out."With that, Sora smiled. And closed his eyes.
The keybearer winced in pain, and tears fell down his cheeks, as the last of the attack finsihed him off.
And Sora's lifeless body fell to the cold stone floor.

Me:Anyway's, here's the list of your Murder attempts on Sora-kun...
1.When you fight the big cage heartless thingy in Monstro, that is Riku's fault, cause you never would have run into it in the first place is Riku didn't steal Pinnocio(Not that I mind that, I HATE pinnocio, But still, it's a murder attempt)
2.The second time you fight the big heartless Cage thingy, Riku Leaves you to Friking Die, Murder attempt I tell you.
3.When you are captured and on Captain Hooks Ship, Riku leaves you in the haul of the ship to be killed by the Heartless(Yeah, he dosn't actully SAY that, but what else are the Heartless gonna do, tickle him?)
4.When you're just about to get to Kairi on the ship, Riku sends an evil copy of Sora at you(oh c'mon, TELL ME he wasn't trying to kill Sora)
5.When Riku Takes Sora's keyblade, tell's Sora he's basicly worthless,and then just leaves him there to die.
6.When Riku shoots that beam at Sora when Sora is DEFENCELESS, good thing Goofy is around, ne?
7.First Boss fight with Riku, TELL ME Riku wasn't trying to Kill Sora.
8.When Riku turns Malnificent into a dragon and leaves her to kill Sora (Who care's if Ansem is in control here, IT'S RIKU WHO'S DOING IT!!!)
9.When Riku/Ansem is about stab Sora(again, Sora is defenceless, and AGAIN Ansem is in control, but I STILL SAY IT'S RIKU'S FAULT!)
10.When you fight Riku in the Second Boss fight, if you say Riku isn't trying to kill Sora there I will laugh SO hard.
Riku:That's ten, not nine
Me:Oh, well, I'm spotting new attacks in the game all the time.Ok, uhhh...anyway's...read..........Oh, also, note that this entire chapter switches to diffrent P.O.V's, that'll be happening alot from now on, just to tell you^^

*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************
The dark figure known as Lucifer looked into an orb."Damn...."The devil cursed under his breath."The brats friends are here, I cannot have that, it could interfere with my plan. Hmmmmmmmmmm..............Wait, I have an idea....."Lucifer said with a smirk.And placing his clawed hands upon the Crystal orb, he began to chant a spell.
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Sora winced painfully as another heartless slammed it's claws into him. He felt dizzy and weak from blood loss.
The heartless laughed, how do heartless laugh? Sora didn't know, he just knew they were making these weird sounds, and knew it was laughter. He didn't know heartless could laugh.
Blood dripped from gashes that covered his body. They hurt like hell.
"So, is the little keybearer having fun?"A heartless taunted. Or maybe it was just Sora's imagination speaking. Whatever, it seemed to be the heartless talking.
The heartless that seemed to be speaking was a rather large invisable. It flew up to Sora's face and backhanded him.
Sora glared at it weakly.
"Pfft, your pathetic. Thoguht you could save the world from us, you can't even save yourself."The invisable laughed coldly and the other heartless joined it. It backhanded the boy again."Why did you even do this?For what, those so called friends of yours? Ha. They don't care about you. You want proof?Riku betrayed you, Kairi left you to become a heartless, You SHOULD still be one of us.Pathetic boy."
"Shut up."Sora growled."My friend's do care about me."
"The darkness will destroy you."The invisable taunted.
"Wrong. You may destroy me, but my heart will always remain with my friends."
"Spare me your friendship rant, weakling."The invisable barked and smacked Sora once more.
"You are the weak one, heartless."Sora replied."You hide from the truth, the light is always there. But you pulled the veil over your eyes, and refused to see it. You are no better then I once was, when I refused to see the darkness, when I was a child. But even then, I have learned that there is always light."With that, the keybearer passed out.
The Invisable growled, thinking the boy was dead."Lets' go tell Malnificent."It sneered.
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Riku, Kairi, Leon, Yuffie, Goofy, and Donald made thair way throguh the castle of Hallow bastion.
"Are we there yet?"Yuffie and Kairi asked at the same time.
"No."Riku and Leon would reply.
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"NO DAMNIT!!!"Leon yelled.
"SHUT UP!!!"Riku howled.
Yuffie and Kairi laughed.
Doanld rolled his eyes."Girls."He muttered.
Kairi turned around and got right in Donald's face and stared at him.
"Uhhhh...what?"Doanld asked.
Kairi countiued to stare.
"What is it Kairi?"Donald demanded.
"YOUR ONE OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Kairi yelled and ran over and hid behind Yuffie, who was cracking up.
Donald shoke his head.Goofy started grinning at him.
"What?"Donald demanded.
"Huh huh.....I got new socks on^^"Goofy said.
Donald fell over anime style.
Riku growled and walked back."WOULD YOU GUYS STOP MESSING AROUND?WE GOTTA SAVE SORA!!!!!!NOW IF YOU DON'T JUST COME ON ALREADY,AND STOP PLAYING AROUND LIKE A BUNCH OF PRISSES, I'M GONNA FREAKING KNOCK OUT ALL OF YOU AND LEAVE YOU HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kairi, Goofy, and Doanld all blinked, then nodded."Ok!"
Yuffie saulted him like she was in the army."YES MA'ME!!"
Riku growled."SHUT UP YA LITTLE BRATTY SLUT AND COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"He screamed in her face.
Yuffie blinked, then answered seriously."O-ok..."She was silent the rest of the trip.
They countinued tromping throguh the castle silently, much to Leon's poor ears joy.
Suddenly, the entire area became pitch black.
"What the-"Kairi said but she shut up when a figure entered the room.
"Hey!Are you the freak who turned off the lights?WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?"Leon demanded.
"Because you will interfere with my plans, and I cannot have that."The figure said, and waved it's hands. The darkness closed in on the six heroes, who screamed.And then all was black.
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Lucifer laughed to himself. He had ruined thair rescue attempts, they could not excape thair deepest fears. They were trapped, and all was going according to plan.
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Leon's P.O.V*
I looked around. Darkness. That was all there was. Nothing but darkness.
"Where am I?"I asked."Yuffie?Donald?Goofy?Riku?Kairi?Anyone???"
A vioce laughed."They are not here, Squall Leonheart. they've all left you. Your hardened heart drove them away."
"What?Left me?"
"Why yes, Sqaull. You scared them away. You hurt them. You hid yourself form everyone, and in turn, they've all left you."
"Even.......Even Yuffie?"
"Yes, you finally discouraged her, she has givin up on you."
Image's appeared before me. One by one, each of my friend's, dissappearing before my eyes.
"No..."I wispered."They all left me."
"Yes Sqaull, they have, they no longer care for you.You are all alone now."
"No...No no no no....."I wispered the same word, over and over.They were all gone. I'd been too cold hearted. And Sora was doomed. I fell to my knee's, the aguish of this all apparent on my face. And the vioce just laughed.
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Donald's P.O.V.......Gahhhhh...*
I looked around."Goofy.........where'd you all go?I get it, this is mess with the duck day, VERY FUNNY!You can come out now....Hello?"
A vioce laughed coldly."Poor poor little duck. All alone. You cannot hide your fears little duck. Your scared."
"I'm not scared."I growled, muttering obsanity's in my odd duck language.
"Oh yes you are.You mask all of your true feeling's, and the result?You are now a worthless weak little duck, with no friend's, no hopes, no dreams.Your pathetic and worthless."
"You said worthless twice."I said pointedly.
"Shut up, I'm a nightmereish disembodied vicoe, you can't talk back!"
"Oh......Now what?"
"FEEL BAD STUPID!!"
"Oh.."I said."I feel bad......"
The disembodied vicoe slapped it's forehead."I am so not getting paid enough for this........."
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
(Yes, I'm skipping Yuffie and Goofy, since Goofy is pretty much the same as Donald, and I don't know enough about Yuffie^^;;;;)
*Kairi's P.O.V*
Sorrow and darkness.That's all there was. That's all that was here."Riku.................Yuffie, Leon...anyone?"I called out.
A laugh came through my mind."Wha?"
A shadow appeared before me."Your deepest fears come to pass, Litlte one.."It said before dissappearing.
"What the..."
Sora and Riku appeared before me, laughing on the beach."Yeah, she was such a slut."Sora was saying.
"No duh!"Riku said."I cannot belive you even acted like you liked her."
"I never liked her. I was just doing that because you dared me, remember?" Sora sneered.
"Yeah, no one would like that slut."
Tidus bounded up to them."Who are you guy's talking about?"He asked.
"That slut Kairi."Sora said with a harsh laugh.Tidus and Riku laughed too.
"W-what,........"I said, tears forming in my eyes, my heart broken."N-no.......S-Sora.....Riku......They hate me....."
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Riku P.O.V.*
Darkness.Nothing but darkness.Like me, cold and completely......evil. No, I couldn't be thinking like that. I had to save Sora.
"Why should you care of him, Riku?"A vioce demanded. The shadow's shifted around me."You don't deserve to be realesed from the darkness. It's where you belong after all you've done."
"Leave me alone."I growled.
"Why?You should be grateful for even my company, after all you've done. You wouldn't be able to save Sora anyway. The darkenss will swallow you once again, and you'd just hurt him, like you did everyone else."
I recoiled, I didn't want to hear this. I'd already heard it million's of time's, coming from myself.
"That's right. You nerely killed Sora, ten times. Oh wait, now you actully have killed him, your responsiable for your own best friend's death. If you weren't so weak, you wouldn't have been captrued, and he wouldn't have been captured. He would still be on that island. If you weren't so weak, if you hadn't givin into Darkness, Sora would still be himself, he would be his joyful self. You ruined it for everyone. And who has paid the price for your stupidity? Sora."
"Leave me alone."I wispered again.But I knew it was true.
"Your a weak-minded fool Riku.You gave in to darkness, and Your friend's paid the price. Just look at how people look at you. Everyone fears you now. And they should, as you even hurt your best friend, why should they not fear that you may hurt them too. You are trying to save someone who suffer's because of you. I mean, you've caused so much of the keybearer's pain. Let's not forget the constant 'Don't you want to save Kairi?' things?Oh and the fact that you were a total friend hog, and you took Sora's keyblade, told him he's worthless, and tried to kill him ten times!!!TEN!!!!! And now he's finally going to die because of yoru pathetic actions."
"Shut up, shut up.."I wispered, but I knew it was all true. And there was no point in denying it.
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Sora P.O.V*
I Floated throguh an endless viod. Nothing mattered. All that ment now was suffering. Atleast it would be over soon.
"You mussant think that Sora.."A vioce wispered.
"What?Why not....I'm gonna die. Atleast it will all end.."I said sadly.
"No it won't, for you, it may end, but for the rest of the world everything will just begin."A teenge girl appeared before me. She had silver angel wings.She wore a glittery blue spegetti strap belly shirt, and baggy sparkly black jeans.Her shoulder length blond hair glittered. Her blue eye's looked through me. And I belived every word she said."When you die, Lucifer will gain the power he needs to control the worlds. All whom love the light will forever be broguht into suffering and torment.You can't give up and let that happen.If anything, you cannot give up, especially now, your friend's are captured, in a manner of speaking.
"Where are they?"I demanded.
"Lucifer has them trapped within thair deepest fears. If anything, you cannot give up, for thair sake."The girl explained.
"What do I do?"I asked.
"Sora, you have to free your friends."
"I knew that, it's kinda obvious!But how?"
The girl smiled sadly."That, I cannot tell you. You must discover that on your own."She began to vanish."If you succeed, perhap's I will come before you once more."She vanished with the wind.
"Why does everything I meet dissappear?"I demanded to the darkness."Well, if you think it's gonna stop me, your wrong!It dosn't matter what happens to me, what matter's to me are my friends."
Six doors appeared before me, I don't know why.(Gaaaaaaaaah...I don't care if it's plot hole, Work with me people's, my brain is starting to hurt with the Thinking I've been doing.......)My friend's vioce's drifted from each one.
"Guys!I'll save you!!"I cried and rushed into the first door.
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Leon's P.O.V*
I just wanted to die. What was the point of living? They'd all left me. Even Yuffie. And it was all my fault.I just wanted to die."Why can't I just end it. It's all over. It's all lost. Game over, man. WHY?"I demanded of the darkened sky. It was dark and empty, just like me.Darkness began to cover me(think on destiny island when that dark stuff is covering up Riku)
"Leon!!"A vioce called out to me. Light shone throguh the darkness. There was a slashing sound and the darkness around me dissappeared.
I looked up."Sora!!"I cried, jumping to my feet, Trying to figure out if this was real. There standing before me, grinning, was the fourteen year old keybearer."But...how?Your captured,wh-.....did you escape?"
Sora's grin dissappeared."Unfortunetly no, Leon, I'm still captive."
"Then how can you be here?"
"The heartless Knocked me out, but it's like I said, our hearts are connected, so even if we're appart, no one is alone. I may not be free yet.."Sora reached his hand out to me."But I can free you. You just gotta trust me."
"B-but...what about you?"I asked.
"Don't worry about me, what matter's more are you guys."He said."Now take my hand, trust me. Do you?" Darkness was coming back."Do you?"He asked again.
Did I?Did I trust this naive fourteen year old with inhuman hair(IT DEFIES GRAVITY WITHOUT GEL, MAN!!It's adorable...BUT NOT RIGHT)So did I?"I trust you."I siad simply and took the boy's hand.
There was a flash of bright light, and the darkness was ellimanated instantly.The light grew brighter....brighter...........
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Yuffie's P.O.V(no, I don't feel like typing what happened before Sora came, DEAL WITH IT)
Everyone hated me.I sat on my knee's, my head in my hands. I'd failed.All I'd done was try and make everyone happy, but I geuss I overdid it."I don't even deserve to live........"I whimpered.Darkness began to over take me. Who cared?"Yeah, go ahead.."I wispered, tempted to just give up and let the darknes destroy me.
"YUFFIE!!!!!!!!!!!"A vioce cried out. I looked up, trying to see through the darkness.
"Sora!!"I cried,Trying to stand up."B-but...how????"
"That's not important!!You gotta get out of there!Don't let the darkness take you!"
"B-but....why should I?Everyone hate's me,no one like's a nice girl, I drove eveyrone crazy,and now they all hate me.I should just give up..."I said, and the darkness grew.
"Yuffie, Don't give up!Everyone dosn't hate you, Your the reason so many of them can go on!!Don't give in to the darkness, fight it!!"Sora cried, his hand's clenching into fists.
"I-I can't!!"I stammered, for once, showing fear.
"You can Yuffie!"Sora said."Now say you can!"
So could I?Could I go on?"I-I can!"I cried.Light burst through my world, gorwing brighter......brighter.......
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Donald's P.O.V*
I growled. I was SO confused. The vioce said I was sapposed to feel bad. Maybe it was right. Everyone alway's just picked on me. Maybe I should just stay here.Sora was doomed anyway.
Shadow's were growing behind me. Ah, who cared?
There was a burst of white light, and the shadow's dissappeared. I turned around."Sora!!"I cried, and rushed over to him.
"Hey Donald."He said cheerfully.
"H-hey.............How did You get here?I tohught you were dead.GAH!YOUR A GOUST!!!!!!!!!"
Sora laughed."I'm not a goust. I'm still alive, just not escaped at this particular moment anyway.So why are you here anyway, I thoguht you weren't afraid of anything."
I would have grinned sheepishly, cept I don't have any teeth, so I settled for rubbing the back of my head."Weeellllllllllllllllllllll the mysical vioce thingy said I was sappsoed to feel bad....so..........I did."
Sora blinked."What mystical vioce?"
"ME!!!"A big huge vioce boomed.
Sora fell over anime style,and toppled the dark stuff. It was like the cheap set of a school play. It toppled right over, revealing a tiny shadow heartless talking into a microphone.
"Um...........heh heh.........hiya^^"The heartless said, waving it's little claw.
Sora smirked and bonked the heartless on the head. It toppled over, and hit a light switch, there was a flash of white light, and-
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
(I'm skipping Goofy cause basicly he's the same as with Donald. Again, DEAL WITH IT!!!!I'm a lazy bum, just like Sora^^;;;;;;;;;)
*Kairi P.O.V*
"Nobody like's me, everybody hate's me, geuss I'll go eat worms..."I sung outloud glumly."Nobody like's me, everybody hate's me, geuss I'll go eat worms......"
"Kairi!!!!!!!!!!"A vioce called out to me. I looked up, and my eye's narrowed.
"Sora."I said, looking at him with anger in my eyes.
"Kairi?What's wrong?"Sora asked, walking closer.
"Get away from me."I growled.
"W-what?"He stepped even closer.
"You heard me, get away from me.You hate me, so stay away from me."
"What are you talking about?"Sora asked.
"Everyone hate's me. I'm a slut, you said so yourself."I said, turned with my back to him.
"What?I never said that."He said.
"Yes you did!Don't deny it!"I yelled and turned around, slapping Sora in the face."Everyone hate's me!"
Sora blinked and rubbed his cheek."No one hate's you Kairi. We all love having you around. Destiny island's would be such a boring place without you there to brighten everyone's day."
"Really?"
"Really."Sora said, a smile creeping upon his face.
"Sora...."I whispered, tears coming to my eyes. He was alway's smiling."Sora."I cried and ran to him, embracing him."But, how? How can you be here?"
"Remember what I said back in the secret waterway of Traverse Town, how our hearts connected?Even if we're appart, we're not alone anymore.Cause we're together in our hearts. I may not be free, but I came here to help you guys."
"So your not free yet?"
"Not yet."
"Oh Sora, I'm so sorry."
"For what?"
"For slapping you. That was wrong of me."
"It's ok Kairi. You were confused, that's all."
"But I got you into this whole mess. You wouldn't even be stuck with thsoe freaks if I hadn't..."
"Shhhhhhh..."Sora said, silencing me."It's not your fault. And I'd rather die then live knowing I let you guy's be harmed."
"Sora.."I wispered his name once again and hugged him tighter, closing my eyes. There was a bright light, and....
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Riku P.O.V*
The darkness envolped me. Again. It wasn't like it was anything new to me. After all, darkness had taken me before. Only that time I didn't know, or did I? Maybe I should just give in. It wasn't like I deserved to live, anyway. After what I'd done, I deserved to die.I suppose being taken by darkness once more couldn't be much worse.I just wanted it all to end.I closed my eyes.
"Riku!!!!!!!!!!"A vioce called out to me, one that was fermillair.No, it couldn't be.
I looked up anyway."S-Sora..."I said.I jumped up and tore throguh the darkness to my friend."Is it really you?"
"Yeah, it's me."My friend said with a smile adorning his face.
"Sora,.......I'm sorry."I said.
"For what?"
"For everything. It's all my fault this has happened, my fault for all of it. If it wasn't for me, none of this would be-"
"Riku, I do not blame you for any of that."Sora said gentaly.
"But if it wasn't me, none of this would have happened. You'd still be your happy self, everyone would be happy. I'm just the cause of everyone's pain."
"No your not Riku. Your my best friend. And it dosn't matter what did in the past. What matter's is now."
"And right now your being held captive by maniac's who want to tear you limb from limb and laugh demonicly while you bleed to death.And why?Because I was too weak to escape."
"Riku, I don't care about all that. You guy's matter more to me then anything else. And I'd protect you all with my life."
"But you'll probly die at this rate."
"And I'd rather die a million death's then live through one knowing I let one of you guy's suffer.Ok?You don't have to beat yourself up over it. I can forgive and forget, so you can to?Ok, Riku?"He reached his hand out to me, simalar as to what I did so long ago on that ngiht on Destiny islands. But this time, it was an invitation to light. Not darkness.
I smiled and took his hand."Ok, then."I wasn't going to fret over darkness anymore. I could forgive and forget. And I was going to fight for the light.
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Sora's P.O.V*
I exited from the last door, and stood back. Light streamed from all six doors.And I saw my frined's dissappear from each one. I held my keybalde high in the air,and it gleamed a gentle blue. The door's pulsated with light and dissappeared, never to trouble my friend's again.
The keyblade dissappeared along with the doors.
"Well done Sora, well done."The girl's vioce came to my ears. I turned around to see her floating there.
"Did I do it?Did I free my friends?"
"Yes Sora, you have."
"Then have I changed anything?"
"Every action change's the future, Sora-kun."
"Then will this all end?"
She smiled sadly."It will end. But when it does, will you still be you?"
"What?What kind of qestion is that?"
"One that only you can answer."The girl said before vanishing.
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
*Third person P.O.V*
Riku,Kairi,Donald,Goofy,Leon, and Yuffie all opened thair eye's at the same time. They all looked at each other, There was no doubt, Sora had saved them, And now they had to save Sora.
"Let's go."Riku said, turned around to face the Castle chapel. He knew Sora was there. And he was coming to save him.
Riku Fans:YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!GO RIKU!!!!!!!
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Needless to say, Malnificent was quite angery when she found out Sora was "dead". She was even more angery when she found out he wasn't dead, merely unconcious.
"YOU IMBECILES!!!!!!!!HE'S NOT DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!HE'S KNOCKED OUT!!!!!!!!YOU WERE SAPPSOED TO KEEP HIM AWAKE!!!!!!" She growled in rage. However, insetad of atatcking the heartless, she decided to focus on her punching bag. She summuned water energy into her palm and blasted Sora with it.
Sora coughed up blood and opened his eyes. Oh yeah, his personal hell. Not a pretty dark area. A nice, scarey, spooky chapel with torches burning green fire, yup.He noticed Malnficient was no longer in her usual attire, but rather a Black and blood red robe. A green skull gem rested upon her coller, and a gothic star, underneath the robe was.....a red belly shirt!!!
"AUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHH!!IT'S HIDDIOUS!!TAKE IT AWAY!!!"Sora screamed in mock fear, though the sight before him was pretty grusume.
"Shut up child!!I felt I needed a change, and beside's, your end will come soon, you shouldn't be careing about my taste in clothes."Malnificent's staff glowed blood red once more.
Sora winced in pain, but was too tired and beaten to scream, he hung his head, but his face was twisted into a grimace of defiance."You can't destory me."He said weakly.
"Yes I can, I will summun the ultimate darkness unleash hell upon you, and ultimately bring forth your demise."Malnifcent sneered.
"We'll see about that Malnificent!!!"A fermailler vicoe cried out.
Reviewers:YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Wha...."Sora murmered weakly and looked up. His vision blurred, and slowly cleared to reveal the forms of.....
"Riku, Kairi......"Sora said, a slight smile coming across his feature's as the darkness finally made him pass out.
Riku burst into the room, Leon, Yuffie, Doanld and Goffy at his side, all bent on one thing, kicking Malnificent's butt.
Kairi rushed to Sora's side. "Sora.."She said, her vioce filled with relife and saddness at the same time.Riku and co turned to Sora to ensure thair friend was ok.
Sora weakly opened his eyes."Guys..."He said, wincing in pain once again, as Malnificent's attack still hadn't faltered,
Malnificent took this chance and fled the room.
Riku and Leon both drew thair blade's and slashed at Sora's bonds. The keybearer fell to the floor in a heap. His shoulder's shoke weakly.(You know how if soemone is really hurt or tired they'll start to shake?Yeah...just had to clear that......)
"Oh Sora.."Kairi wispered and threw her arms around him.
Sora smiled weakly."Hey guys, what's up?"
"Well, you should be for one thing."Yuffie joked gently as she helped the boy to his feet.
Sora shoke weakly and would have fallen once again if it weren't for the fact that Riku cought him. Sora coughed into his hand and it pulled away bloodily.
/What have they done to him?/ Riku wondered as he helped his best friend stand. However, he decided not to ask Sora this."C'mon, let's get outta here." He said instead.
The gang began to head for the exit, but a vioce stopped them.
"Where do you tihnk you're going?"It demanded.
"We're taking Sora home."Riku growled.
A figure appeared in front of them. It was a man, he lookedi n about his twenties. He ahd long, flowing silver hair with black streaks. His skin was a deep tan. Various scars lined his face. A long torn slik black cape fell down his shoudlers. A sword hung in his belt, as well as some arrows. A blood red pitch fork was in his right hand.He wore a black elather torn muscle shirt, and black leather pants. His finegr's ended in garnled, inhumanly sharp claws, and torn black dragon winsg erupted from his back. But what really got you were his eyes. His eyes were like a cats, and a terrifiying blodo red that tore throguh you and saw your deepest fears. This, was Lucifer.
"Hand over the keybearer. He die's here."
"No he dosn't, because his friend's are here with him."Leon said.
"Hand him over!"Lucifer growled and summuned dark energy into his palm, sending it headng streight for Sora. Riku took the hit.
"Gah!"He said, wincing painfully as the attack sent him slamming into the ground and go entirely numb.
"If you will not allow me to destroy him, I sappose I will have to give his death to each of you, too."Lucifer spoke darkly.
Sora hauled himself to his feet."No Lucifer, leave my friend's out of this."He said, weakly but defiantly.He coughed up more blood.
Lucifer smirked."So, I sappose goody two-shoe's Sora can't handle seeing his friend's killed off when he should be the one to die?Hmm...that sound's liek fun, no?"He sent a wave of energy at Sora, hurling him into a wall. He pulled a black arrow from his belt and slashed both of his wrists. The blood flowed out of them and became dark energy. Lucifer held up his pitch fork and the drak energy began to swirl into it. He slashed his chest and more blood poured.
"Darkness, come to my aid.
Accept my offering,
Blood of a demon,
Darkness,
Encapture light within your spell,
Destroy all, create nothing but pain,
These's children had a quest
It was all in vain
To rescue the keybearer
Was thair aim.
Now it end's here
There will be nothing but fear.
Today they all die
So heed my cry
They all escaped wrath before
But this time
Light is no more!"
Lucifer smirked coldy as his skin re-knit itself. The last drops of blood entered the glowing black pitchfork. And then Lucifer slammed the three points of the pitchfork into his chest. Blood poured from the wound, and dark energy flowed inside of Lucifer, and darkness came from every flame in the area and into the body of the demon. Lucifer smirked, and glowed with balck and blood red energy. His eye's glowed with firey blood red power."Prepare to die." And then, he sent all of the dark energy at Sora's friends.
There was no way to dodge the atatck. Riku realized this. And there was no way to survive it either.
"NO!!!!"Sora screamed and pulled himself up, and ran between the attack and his friends.
And then it hit.The energy slammed upon the keybearer. Sora cried out in pain and there was a flash of white light.
When Kairi opened her eyes, Sora floated in the air, glowing a dark red. His eyes were closed in obvious pain.
"Fool!"Lucifer cried."Why take an attack for them?Are you so blind, you'd give your life for them?"
"Sora!Why?"Kairi cried, too shocked to move.
Sora opened his eyes, and answered."Because my friend's mean more to me then any treasure,mroe to me than my own life."He spoke to his friend's specialficuly." I told you, I would do anything for you guys.. It dosn't matter what happens to me. What matter's to me are you guys. No matter how deep the darkness, a light shine's within. And for me, that lgiht's you guys.I'd gladly give my life for you guy's, any day. And if that be today, so be it. If my sacrifice kept my friend's from suffering, then it was all worth it. And my heart will stay with my friends.For deep down, there is a light that never goes out."With that, Sora smiled. And closed his eyes.
The keybearer winced in pain, and tears fell down his cheeks, as the last of the attack finsihed him off.
And Sora's lifeless body fell to the cold stone floor.
