~*Hollow Bastion, Castle Chapel*~
"We're almost there," Riku informed Sora.
"Hey, weren't the seven Princesses here before," Sora asked, scratching his head.
"After you sealed the keyhole and left, they were going to stay, just until they were sure you had
beaten Ansem before they went home. Unfortunately, when Ansem retook the castle, they were forced to flee
back to their own worlds on a Gummi Ship that was here. As far as I know, they are okay," Riku explained.
Sora nodded in understanding. "Well, Ansem's not here, I guess he must have taken the girls to the
Grand Hall."
Riku jerked his head. "Lead the way. We better hurry. I have a bad feeling."
"Me too." Sora took off at a sprint for the Grand Hall with Riku at his heels.
~*Dungeon*~
"Well that was brilliant. Now Goofy's totally out of it," Yuffie stated sarcastically, rather sick of
being in that cell. Leon silenced her with a look.
"Try magic," he suggested to Donald.
Donald waved his staff. "Graviga!"
The bars were intact.
"Try something else," Yuffie urged.
Donald waved his staff again. "Firaga!"
The bars melted under the intense heat. "Finally," Yuffie cried, bursting out. She surveyed Donald's
work. "I'd like to see them try to stick us back in there, those bars are totally destroyed!"
Leon picked up the still unconcious Goofy and started for the bubble. "Let's go. Sora may need our help
to beat Ansem."
~*Grand Hall*~
"Open the door, lead me into everlasting Darkness!"
The Heartless turned Ria and Kairi towards each other. The girls could only watch in horror as the
spirits of their Hearts floated out of them, then they crumpled to the floor, lost without their hearts.
Their hearts met between them, forming a bright light which shot towards the Keyhole that Sora only
thought he had sealed.
The boys entered just in time to hear a sound like a door unlocking, and to see Darkness steaming out
of the Keyhole. Sora spied the girls. "There they are!"
"And there's Ansem," Riku growled. They ran up the steps. "You're dead Ansem, any last requests?"
"You're too late boys. The Queens of Heart have already opened the door for me. Now Darkness will
spread through all worlds!" Ansem cackled evilly at the thought.
"Not if we can stop it," Sora shouted, drawing his Keyblade. "Let's go Ansem!"
So the battle began. Sora would attack from one side, then Riku from another. Dispite this though,
Ansem seemed eerily calm.
Finally Sora drew back. "What do you have up your sleeve Ansem?"
Ansem laughed. "I'm glad you asked. You see, as only the Queens of Heart," he gestured to Riannon and
Kairi, "can open the door, only they can seal it. But as they don't have their hearts, they can't do it!
Even if you destroy me, you cannot seal the--ACK!"
Riku stepped back, removing his blade from Ansem's back as the Seeker of Darkness fell to the floor.
Sora gave him a scandalized look. "What," Riku asked innocently. "I swore he would pay, and you were
doing an excelent job of distracting him for me." He shrugged. "Seize opportunity."
"So he's dead," Sora gazed at the body, which dissappeared into Darkness befor his eyes, then his gaze
shifted to the girls. "We have to revive them."
"How?"
"Like this." Sora took the keyblade and raised it to his heart. Riku followed suit with his own blade.
"Our friends hearts are inside of us, always with us." He took the blade and drew an imaginary heart around
his own. Riku did the same.
Before their eyes, the boys saw a heart come out of their own, each floating slowing towards it's own
owner.
The girls sat up and blinked. They looked at each other. "The Keyhole!"
Sora chopped their binds with the Keyblade, then drew Kairi into a hug. Riku hugged Ria too.
When they drew back, Riku looked into her eyes. "Do you know how to close the Keyhole?"
Riannon exchanged a glance with Kairi. "Yes.........."
"Can you do it," Sora asked. Kairi nodded.
"Yes, we can, but.........." Ria broke in with a strangled sob.
"We have to give ourselves up to it!" Having said it, she broke down into tears and sobbed into Riku's
shirt.
Seeing Sora's confused looked, Kairi explained. "We have to enter the Darkness. That will purify it and
make it into Light. But I don't think we can come back." Sora opened his mouth to object, but Kairi silenced
him. "We have to do it."
The girls exchanged a nod, then turned to smile grimly at the boys.
"Goodbye Sora. I love you." Kairi kissed Sora quickly on the lips.
"I will always love you Riku. Always." Ria kissed him swiftly. "Let's go Kairi."
The girls joined hands and stepped forward. They didn't look back, but stepped into the Darkness.
A blinding light flashed. When it cleared, and the boys could see again, Kairi and Ria were gone.
