It was quiet; nothing seemed to be distorted nor corrupted by any source of good or evil. A wide lightly green shaded portal appeared near the bright entrance in to the End of the World. Mickey slowly walked out followed by Riku, Kairi, Donald, and Goofy. The eerie silence continued as the only sound they heard were their own footsteps.
Riku looked at Mickey. "It's too quiet. Something's has happened."
"Yeah, I know what ya mean, pal." Mickey frowned. "I can't see it, but I can feel something emerging below us. I hope nothin' bad happened to Aros. Other than the body, he's the only thing stopping Obsidian from opening the portal."
"What happens if the door opens?" Kairi asked. "Will something come out of it?"
"Oh, something definitely will come out of it. The door we're talkin' about has a power greater than both the door to the darkness and the door to the light. We can on hope for now. And if not, we'll fight." Mickey nodded to Kairi and the group continued walking.
Looking down in to the ice, Goofy began to make funny faces until he spotted something not too far away from him. It stuck out like a thumb with it's spiky hair. Goofy gasped, causing the all to look towards him. Donald rolled his eyes.
"If this is about the person below you, it's your reflection!" Donald snapped.
Goofy shooked his head. "No, Donald! It's Sora!"
"Sora?" The group exclaimed in unison.
Turning the way Goofy looked, Kairi's eyes gleamed as she watched a figure walk around the icy grounds. She screamed in joy as she ran towards the figure, slipping and sliding along the way. Riku followed with a smile as did Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. When they all reached the scene, their eyes showed joy. The young keyblade master laid on the icy ground, still wearing what he wore when they last saw him. Eyes shut tightly, a glimmer came from his chest. Kairi turned to Mickey.
"Is he okay?" She asked in a whisper.
"I'm not even sure." Mickey walked towards Sora. "This must be his body. It would seem that it is still dormant. But why would-"
Before Mickey could say another world, Sora's body began to glow a bright gold color before oceanic blue eyes snapped open with a crackled sound. Everyone backed away as he picked himself off the iced ground and stood up with an emotionless look on his face. Suddenly, the ground began to snap, crackle, and pop causing everyone to drop to the ground. Negative energy began to flow around them as Mickey stood up and held his white Kingdom Key high above his head, emitting light around them.
"What the heck's going on here?" Riku shouted making his way to Kairi. "What's he doing?"
"I don't think it's Sora, Riku." Mickey frowned. "It's Obsidian!"
As time began to slow down, a large crack quickly rushed across Mickey's feet and soon the ice began to cave in. Mickey screamed as he fell down in to the darkness with the ice. Everyone looked in amazement and shock as the ground slowly began to seal up again. Riku turned to Sora, grabbed his arm, and yanked him towards the same place Mickey fell in to. Turning to Donald, Riku shot a look of trust to Donald for the first time.
"You and Goofy stay here and make sure nothing bad happens to Kairi! I'm taking Sora down there with me. It's obviously that Obsidian wants a fight and he's going to get one!"
"Riku, no! Don't go!" Kairi reached out.
Riku nodded. "Trust me, Kairi. This is the only way we can get Sora back. Take care of her."
With that, Riku launched both himself and Sora in to the hole. Within mere seconds, the cracks around Goofy, Donald, and Kairi were gone. Kairi stood up and crossed her arms with an angry look on her face.
"That Riku... It's not fair. I wanted to fight, too. Boys will always be boys."

Obsidian smirked as he walked down a path full of shards and crystals. The inside of the End of the World seemed to lead towards an endless maze, but Obsidian didn't worry about that. He was enjoying being complete again. No longer was he the silver haired man with the pure white eyes. His hair had darken to it's blackest as his eyes were only a mere shell of their formal self. Now his gaze would make things redder than ever. Stopping, he grinned as several heartless revealed themselves. They appeared to be ready for an attack. Obsidian smirked.
"You're just in time," He began, "to witness what I am now capable of. Are you even a challenge?"
The heartless reply was charging towards him. Obsidian smirked as he quickly withdrew a black Kingdom Key and the original. His smirk widen as the heartless jumped towards him. Crouching, the heartless flew over his head. He quickly turned and did a rapid cartwheel with both Keyblades outstretched. The heartless were sliced into two. Looking back, he watched as a group of ten tried to gang up on him. Obsidian laughed. He quickly held the Keyblades over his head and a dark red aura of dark energy shot throughout the entire place. One by one the heartless disappeared and a lighted path was revealed.
"This power ..." Obsidian looked at his own hands and smirked. "This power is great and mine!"
"You don't deserve such power..."
Obsidian turned around and his red eyes widen. A black mouse made his way up to him, grasping a white keyblade. Obsidian snickered as he crossed his arms revealing such pride in his eyes. Nodding, he grinned at Mickey who began to glow a white color.
"I have power unlike you. Power is something you'll never experience, mouse."
Mickey frowned. "That power belongs to Sora and Sora alone. You're a sick freak! You won't make to the door. Not while I'm still around. Sora will come back. I promise you that!"
"You poor pathetic fool!" Obsidian outstretched his arms. "Everything is almost aligned. All I need are the four keys. And you just brought the last to me. The door shall appear once all four keys are activated. Then you'll see the world that my soul and heart spoke up."
"Ofcourse! That's what you're up to. You wanna open the door to the world in-between."
Obsidian smirked. "You're smart ... for a house mouse. That door can bring forth a power, no, a third power. A power that not even the keyblade master could handle."
"You can't open that door. If you do, the worlds and everyone in them are goners. Even you can't fight that evil in there." Mickey took his stance.
"You want to fight me? I'm complete. You'll perish without even putting the slightest dent in my new form. Pathetic!"
"I believe in myself and this keyblade from the other side. If this keyblade is from there, then the third power is in it. Get ready, Obsidian. You're going down."
"You fool! When I get through with you, I'll simply use your soul and heart." Obsidian smirked.
"You're the fool if you think you can get my heart and soul." Mickey frowned. "Let's go!"
Obsidian began to shoot rapid fireball attacks toward Mickey as the King flipped and evaded each one. Gripping hold of the white Kingdom Key, Mickey flipped and landed on to Obsidian's shoulders. Holding the keyblade above him, Mickey thrust the keyblade in to Obsidian chest. Obsidian yelled in pain. Landing on the ground, Mickey quickly sweep Obsidian off his feet and threw the keyblade to the back of the villain's head. Obsidian fell to the ground, but quickly got up. He frowned as Mickey got back in to stance.
"This isn't over yet mouse." Snarled Obsidian. "We've just begun!"
"I here ya speakin', but I still don't see you aren't doin' as good as you said you would." Mickey smirked.
Obsidian growled as he pulled out the original Kingdom Key. He quickly spun it around and took Sora's stance. Mickey narrowed his eyes as he too took stance. It remained quiet until Mickey launched himself towards Obsidian. Holding the keyblade up, Mickey quickly slashed the air and sent a shockwave towards Obsidian. Obsidian reflect the attack back to Mickey. As Mickey evaded, Obsidian appeared out of nowhere and punched the mouse up in to the air. As Mickey screamed in pain, Obsidian thrust his foot to the mouse's back. Mickey hit the top of the cave like ceiling and hit the floor. Obsidian levitated in the air, arms crossed and a grin on his face.
"You see," He began, "you have no power that can take me out. This is your final fight, mouse."
"No way! I'm not giving up that easily." Mickey stated, frowning. "I won't and I cant'!"
"Mickey!"
Mickey turned to his side to see Riku and Sora land on the ground. Riku yanked Sora towards Mickey and frowned at sight of a different Obsidian. Crouching down to Mickey's side, Riku nodded with a look of hope on his face.
"What's going on? What's with the new look?" Riku asked eyeing Obsidian.
"I guess he merged with Aros. That's the only explanation." Mickey answered. "Sora's body is the only essence of our friend. We've got to get Sora's heart and soul back."
Mickey stood and gripped the white kingdom key tightly. Riku pulled out Ultima and took stance beside Mickey. Obsidian landed on to the ground and pulled out the Kingdom Key. Sora stood on the sidelines looking dazed and reverie.
"So, if we take out Obsidian, Sora comes back?"
"Yep. But that's not gonna be easy, Riku. Obsidian is stronger than I thought he was."
"For once, couldn't something be easy." Riku sighed.
In an instant, the three were in an all out assault. Obsidian shot Mickey down by casting Blizzara while fighting Riku with one hand. Riku slashed and cut as fast as he could but Obsidian seemed to think it was a joke at him attempt. A grin spread widely across his face as he cast a huge fire spell, dropping the Kingdom Key. Riku hit the ground in great impact as did Mickey. Landing on top of Riku's chest, Obsidian kicked the silver haired boy's ribs.
"Get up, boy." Obsidian mocked. "I thought you would give me more of a challenge then the rodent."
Riku couldn't say a word as he struggled to get the man off his chest. Obsidian laughed as Mickey slowly stood up only to fall down. Suddenly, a loud slashing sound came from behind Obsidian. Obsidian coughed as he slowly turned around to see Sora's body holding the original Kingdom Key in hand. The body had thrust it threw Obsidian. A bright light surfaced out of him as a heart and an aura of blue light escaped Obsidian's body and went straight in to Sora's body. Soon, the boy's eyes opened to show oceanic blue eyes. Sora looked around with a gaze of surprise. Riku picked himself off the ground as did Mickey and smiled.
"Sora!! You're back!"
Sora smiled. "Yeah, I am. I'm finally back."
Sora's smile quickly faded away as he turned to Obsidian. The man began choking as smoke came out of the hole in his chest. His skin began to loose it pigments as he turned to the ground. Obsidian stood up and growled. Sora smirked as he gripped the original Kingdom Key in hand. Mickey looked down at his keyblade and grinned.
"Here ya go, Sora!" Mickey tossed the white keyblade. "Take this with ya. You're gonna need it."
Sora looked in his hands. In one hand, he held the Kingdom Key and in the other he held an inverted version of it. Grasping them both tightly, Sora showed a look of confidence as Obsidian held Oathkeeper and Oblivion in his hands. He smirked weakly.
"This-this will be the final battle..." He managed to say.
Sora nodded. "Yeah, it will be and it'll be the end of you."
