Chapter 15: Dive into the Heart
~~End of the World~~
Ansem was in the world of darkness, no light would ever be found here. This world was all that was left of the destroyed worlds.
Ansem: Now I will rule all!
Riku: What ever…
Ansem: And I will make sure that you do not get off so easily, return to darkness!!
Riku: What!
He was swallowed by the darkness.
Ansem: Now no one can reach you, you are mine to control!
Ansem transformed into Riku and walked away. Little did he know that Sora had already arrived and was nearing the end. Sora appeared on what looked like Destiny Islands.
Sora: Is this... Is this my island?
Sora ran to where the secret place used to be.
Voice of Ansem: This world has been connected
Parts of the Island began to disappear, and the Island began to change.
Goofy: What was that?
Voice of Ansem: Tied to the darkness...soon to be completely eclipsed. There is so very much to learn. You understand so little. A meaningless effort. One who knows nothing can understand nothing.
Sora spotted Riku standing on the edge of the Island. He ran up to see him.
Ansem: Take a look at this tiny place. To the heart seeking freedom this island is a prison surrounded by water. And so this boy sought to escape from his prison. He sought a way to cross over into other worlds. And he opened his heart to darkness.
Riku turned to Ansem.
Sora: *reaches out* Riku!
Ansem: Don't bother. Your voice can no longer reach him where he is. His heart belongs again to darkness. All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it, grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came.
Ansem disappeared and reappeared in midair floating behind Sora and his friends.
Ansem: *makes a scary face and does a weird hand motion* You see, darkness is the heart's true essence.
Sora: That's not true! The heart may be weak. And sometimes it may even give in. But I've learned that deep down, there's a light that never goes out!
Ansem rises up a little.
Ansem: So, you have come this far and still you understand nothing. Every light must fade, every heart return to darkness!
A Heartless called a Guardian appeared behind Ansem and he attacked Sora. Ansem completely relied on his Guardian to fight. Ansem was defeated and fled. Sora preceded fighting the Darkside, and Ansem again. After that Sora and his friends appeared in darkness. Riku watched from far away he didn't know where he was or how he had gotten there but still he watched Sora cheering him on.
Sora: Wha...?
Ansem: Behold the endless abyss! Within lies the heart of all worlds: Kingdom Hearts!
Sora looks to see a white door, Kingdom Hearts.
Ansem: Look as hard as you are able. You'll not find even the smallest glimmer of light. From those dark depths are all hearts born. Even yours.
The World of Chaos appeared.
Ansem: Darkness conquers all worlds!
Suddenly, Goofy and Donald Duck were sucked into a portal and Sora falls, but then Riku stepped up to bat.
Voice of Riku: Giving up already? Come on, Sora. I thought you were stronger than that.
Sora flew up and readied himself to fight Ansem. Ansem had grown in size and looked even freakier then before, even his Guardian had grown. Sora fought his hardest against Ansem and was winning! Riku watched his friend beating up Ansem " Yeah Sora! Beat up that old fart!"
Sora had won Goofy and Donald back. And it was now time for the last battle against Ansem. Sora, Goofy, and Donald few into action! Doing as much damage to Ansem as possible. They defected Ansem and he returned to his normal self.
Ansem: It is futile. The Keyblade alone cannot seal the door to darkness. Kingdom Hearts! Fill me with the power of darkness...
Kingdom Hearts' doors open with dark smoke poring out.
Ansem: Supreme darkness...
Sora: You're wrong. I know now, without a doubt. Kingdom Hearts...is light!
Light appeared from Kingdom Hearts doors. The lights illuminate Ansem.
Ansem: Lights? But why...?
Ansem has disappeared for good. With Kingdom Hearts' doors partially open, Sora's group runs to them and tries closing it.
Sora: Come on!
While Sora's group pushes the doors, Goofy stopped to look in.
Donald: Stop staring and keep pushing!
Suddenly, Donald and Goofy could see more Heartless on the other side of the door.
Donald & Goofy: The Heartless!?
Donald: Hurry!
Sora: I can't...
Riku: Don't give up!
Riku appeared from the other side of the doors. He didn't know how he got there but he was glade to see Sora again.
Riku: Come on, Sora! Together, we can do it!
Sora: Okay!
Sora's group and Riku tries harder to close the doors, but the Heartless began to raise.
Donald: It's hopeless!
Suddenly, someone was eliminating the Heartless. Then Goofy, Donald, and the others saw something bright, it is Mickey Mouse.
Donald & Goofy: Your Majesty!
Mickey: (holding his own Keyblade) Now, Sora! Let's close this door for good!
Donald: (to Sora) Close it, quick!
Sora: But...
Mickey: Don't worry. There will always be a door to the light.
Goofy: Sora, you can trust King Mickey.
Riku: Now! They're coming!
Riku was scared he knew he couldn't get out of Kingdom Hearts, and he didn't want to be alone. Now he would never be able to see Sora and Kairi again.
Mickey: Donald, Goofy, thank you.
The doors began to close but Riku has one last thing to say to Sora.
Riku: Take care of her.
Sora nodded as the doors completely closed. Sora and King Mickey used their Keyblades to seal Kingdom Hearts, and the door diapered.
King Mickey: Riku! We need to get away from the Heartless!
Riku: OK let's go!
The two ran away from where the Heartless were but as they ran something stage began to happen, the ground began to shake.
Riku: Wh--whats happening?
King Mickey: The worlds are separating!
Just as he said that Riku was pulled away, and by the looks of it King Mickey was two! Riku then blacked out, he knew no more. Later Riku awoke (And just to let you know this part I'm not making up it's in the end of KH on the Japanese version only) A white path widens gently through the black nothingness before him.
Riku: Sora… Kairi…
The path comes into a horizontal plane.
Riku: I'm sorry…
Riku walks down the path.
Riku: Is this… the world of death?
Riku walked with his head hung and he looks lost. He flickers slightly as if not quite real. Then he stumbles and stops as a blue light surrounds him. Clutching his chest he talks to himself.
Riku: I can't disappear yet.
The aura subsides
Riku: Not until I've met Sora and Kairi one more time...
A voice from the darkness...
Voice: Riku, can you hear me?
Riku raises his head only fractionally, but looks about warily.
Voice: I'll be there soon.
Riku turns abruptly to see who's there.
Riku: Who's there?
But he faces only darkness.
Voice: I've been talking to you all along. But my words were hindered by the darkness covering your heart.
Riku: ?
Voice: Another Keyblade...I've gotten the Keyblade for this side.
Riku: I don't know who you are, but... What's happened to me?
Voice: Your heart has overcome the darkness. But you couldn't take back your body. So only your heart was left behind. In this dark side where stolen hearts are gathered.
Riku: What should I do?
Riku turns to face the way onwards again.
Voice: The door of darkness that is soon going to appear... That door, through which we cannot pass... In order to close it, Two keys and two hearts are needed. Perhaps you too, like me, come here for that purpose. Maybe it was fate.
Riku: Fate... You know everything, don't you? If that's so, I want you to tell me one more thing... Are Sora and Kairi safe?
Voice: You yourself should be able to feel their hearts.
From the distance, Sora comes running through the darkness towards Riku.
Voice: How you perceive your friends...Is dependent on your own heart.
Sora is very close now, and he is smiling.
Riku has his eyes closed. He has been imagining Sora. He opens his eyes, seemingly much more at ease.
Riku: Thank you.
(that's the end of the scene)
Riku continued to walk through the darkness, not feeling as alone, but he still whished there was more. He heard something coming from behind him, it sounded like quickly moving feet. He turned to see a girl around his age moving towards him. Her hair was long and black, and her eyes were a golden yellow, she wore a black long sleeved dress. She ran towards him.
Riku: Freddy?
Girl: Riku! I've found you!
She ran into his arms and looked up at him. He touched her face.
Riku: Is this what you used to look like?
Freddy: Yes but not my eyes, they were blue…*she looks down*
She trance formed back into a Heartless.
Riku: What happened?
Freddy: I don't know but, just like you I have no body… that was just a memory….
Riku looked down at the Heartless in his arms
Riku: I'm sorry… I will never do anything like that again…
Freddy: I know, but that's not important now… we need to stay together and help each other. I will help you get out of here….
Riku: Thanks you Freddy
He kissed her softly on the head and carried her with him down the white path.
