Chapter 12: Sealing The Door, Home At Last
They entered into the dark place and heard laughter. "You are all such fools for coming here." Maleficent said as she appeared in front of them floating. "Only three are still allowed to fight. Which of you will be the three is the question." She smirked.
Laura stepped forward. "I shall fight you." Maleficent grinned at the girl. Riku also stepped forth. He glanced over at Laura and nodded to her. He then looked back at Maleficent. Sora was going to go up but Squall beat him to it. He stood beside Riku and looked at Maleficent. Sora frowned but didn't protest.
"You have your three fighters. Now come. Show me how much power just the three of you hold." Maleficent said, descending to the ground.
Squall and Riku stood there, waiting for the right time but Laura ran at Maleficent. She jumped into the air and slashed at Maleficent. Maleficent easily blocked her attack. Her staff began to glow the same green as it had at the castle. Riku quickly took action and jumped up, hitting Maleficent in the back. She turned around and looked at Riku. She then hit him with her staff. Squall ran at her, and then hit her head. Maleficent was getting fed up. "Let's see if you can handle my dragon!" She yelled. Her eyes began to glow green and her body began to change. She grew a dragon body with small wings on either side. Her tail was spiked and so was her back. She looked down at the three fighters and shot fire at them. They all rolled away except for Laura. She had her sword out and put it in front of her, blocking the flames and creating some kind of barrier. The fire stopped and Laura was amazed. She quickly ran up to Maleficent and jumped on her back. She then dug her sword into Maleficent's side, causing her to roar. Laura pulled the sword out and then was thrown off. She hit the ground hard but got back up. Blood was running down her arm. Whenever she was thrown off, one of the spikes had cut her arm.
Riku jumped up onto the dragon's back and went for Maleficent's head. Before he could reach it, she threw him off as well, causing him to fall to the ground. He looked over at Laura to see her arm bleeding. He then jumped into the air and onto the dragon's back again. He reached her head and dug his Keyblade into her skull. He jumped off as Maleficent roared. She then fell sideways, dead.
Everyone came up to Riku and Laura. Squall joined them, his arm scratched up. They looked at the great beast and sighed. She was dead once and for all.
Laura looked up to see a door. A staircase appeared in front of them, leading to the door. Laura quickly began to climb the staircase. Everyone followed her. They reached the door to see it ajar. They looked in to see the heartless swarming. "We have to close it now." Laura said as she pushed on the door. "C'mon, help me!" Everyone joined her, closing the door. They looked around to see small islands everywhere. The darkness they were in began to rumble and soon they were on different islands. Squall, Yuffie, and Lindsey were on one island. Donald and Goofy were on another not to far. Sora, Kairi, and Riku were on another island. Laura didn't know where to go. She could go on her island but she didn't want to leave. She then jumped onto the island Riku and Sora were on. She almost fell but Sora and Riku caught her. Everyone soon began to drift away.
"Perhaps we'll meet again Sora." Squall yelled to them.
Yuffie smiled. "Don't forget us! Bye!"
Lindsey looked at Laura. "I might be seeing you around, ya never know." Then, the island faded away.
"Good-bye Lindsey." Laura yelled. She waved as the island faded away. She then looked at Kairi and everyone else. "I guess I'm going home with you guys." She smiled. Riku smiled at her and soon, they were back on Destiny Island, where this great adventure had begun.
"I can't believe we're back. We're back on our island!" Kairi said. She smiled and then looked around. She found the Secret Cave where she and Sora use to play. She ran into it, looking around. Sora followed after her. Laura looked around and sighed. She walked to the small island in the ocean and climbed up the ladder. She then looked at the sun setting in the west. She smiled. 'This is my home now.' She closed her eyes, letting the wind blow her hair around. She opened her eyes and looked to see Riku in front of her.
"So, you decided to come back with us?" He smiled and sat down beside her. She nodded.
"I decided that it would be better to stay here. I can live here with Kairi and you and Sora." She smiled at him. "So, about that Paolpu fruit, do you think you need it now?"
He grinned at her. "You know, maybe just for a precaution, we should." He got up and climbed the Paolpu tree. He then got a fruit and then climbed down. He walked over to Laura, helping her stand up. He took a bite into the fruit and then gave it to Laura. She smiled and bit into the fruit. Riku leaned forward and kissed her. She dropped the fruit and kissed him back. She then pulled back and smiled. He smiled back and then held her close to his chest.
"I love you Laura." Riku whispered to her.
"I love you too." She replied, closing her eyes. She soon was asleep. Riku picked her up and carried her to Kairi's for the night.
End.
