Chapter 17: Kingdom Hearts - Goodbye, Riku and Cloud
Shade, even though he was defeated, laughed.
"It is futile. The Keyblade alone cannot seal the door to darkness," said Shade.
He looked to the Kingdom Hearts and raised his hands high. "
"Kingdom Hearts! Fill me with the power of darkness..." commanded Shade.
The doors of Kingdom Hearts opened, and a bit of black smoke flowed out. Shade smiled.
"Supreme darkness..." said Shade.
However, Riku and Sora shook their heads.
"We believe in our hearts that Kingdom Hearts isn't the door to the darkness," said Riku.
"It is a door to the LIGHT!" said Sora.
As they said that, light flooded out from Kingdom Hearts and washed over Shade. Shade can't believe it.
"Why...?" said Shade.
The light consumed Shade, and he vanished for good. However, the doors to Kingdom Hearts are still partially open, so the team went to close them. It is then that Sora noticed something. Riku looked at his friend.
"Sora, what's wrong?" asked Riku.
"Look!" said Sora.
The team looked and is shocked to see...
"The Heartless?!" said a shocked Sora, Squall, and Cloud.
"We can't give up!" said Riku as he ran into Kingdom Hearts to close it from that side. Sora looked at his friend.
"Riku!" said Sora.
"Come on, Sora!" said Riku. "Together, we can do it! And don't worry! I'll be back someday because there is always a door to the light even in the deepest darkness!"
"But, you won't be able to survive the onslaught of Heartless behind the doors!" said Sora.
"Not without help, he won't," said Cloud.
With that, Cloud headed inside of Kingdom Hearts with Riku. He looked at Squall.
"Tell Aeris I'll be back someday, okay?" said Cloud.
Squall nodded.
"Gotcha," said Squall.
"Together, we can close this door!" said Riku.
"Right!" said Sora.
The team finally got the door to close, but as it did so, Riku had one final thing to say to Sora.
"Take good care of her," said Riku.
Sora nodded, and the door finally closed trapping Riku and Cloud inside, but Squall and Sora knew they'd see their friends again someday because their hearts would bring them back to them and their friends.
After Kingdom Hearts closed, Riku and Sora used their Keyblades to seal the doors so that they would never be open again. Once they did that, the ground on Sora and Squall's side began to fragment showing that the worlds were begining to split apart. Squall and Sora saw their friends waving to them from Besaid Island.
"Sora! Squall!" said Tidus. "Jump on, and quick!"
The two nodded, and they jumped and landed on Besaid Island. As Besaid Island drifted away, Sora and Squall took one more look at the white doors that were Kingdom Hearts and wondered how their friends were doing behind it and fighting the Heartless army they'd seen before....
Shade, even though he was defeated, laughed.
