Chapter Nine: Unleash The Light
After a bit of explaining on King Mickeys' part, Sora finally understood exactly what Joining meant. Now, whether he had known already and just refused to realize it or he truly didn't know was a big question on everyone's mind. Especially since they all knew that Sora wasn't that stupid. Or was he? Riku sat puzzling over the fact that they had to find the Princess. The first two had been really easy, grant it, they really wish they hadn't found the Princess of Darkness so soon, but it couldn't be helped. Mike had been easy because Sora had a vision of where he was. But what about the Princess of Light? Riku decided to voice his concern. " King Mickey, were are we going to look for her?" Everyone turned to him.
King Mickey nodded closing his eyes in thought, "Well, I would think that the Heartl-"Sora quickly covered the King's mouth and shook his head. King Mickey understood immediately. "Eh hem, I would begin looking at an area that has the most concentrated aura of evil around it." The others looked surprisingly and him. Realizing they didn't understand this, he furthered his explanation, "well, obviously, the Princess of Darkness will have sent many of her minions to guard the Door. For the main purpose of keeping Sora from setting the Princess of Light free." Everyone nodded in understanding.
"Alright then, we'll look for the area that is most covered with darkness. Let's get to it!" Kairi exclaimed.
"Yeah!"

A young woman sat alone in a room. She was tired and knew that she was slowly dieing. 'They must find me quickly, or I am afraid that I will surely perish.' She coughed a little. A loud boom was heard outside the massive door that kept her within this lonely place. 'The Princess of Darkness must be here, please don't let it delay my Prince...I don't have much time left...' With that last thought, her strength gave out and she collapsed in a heap.

Sora sat in his room thinking to himself. How could all of this happen? He thought that he'd already defeated the darkness when he killed Ansem? But it had already grown enough to take over Crystal and was now congregating in front of the Doors that held back the Princess of Light. Sighing to himself he lay back against his pillow and stared up at the ceiling. Suddenly, a pain that he had never felt before lanced through his body. He screamed out in anguish as he rolled off the bed and to the floor only to writhe in pain. "What's...going...on?" He struggled out. Riku and the others burst through the door and gasped at what they saw. Riku ran to his best friend and tried to stop Sora from twisting like he was.
"Sora!!!!! Stop! You'll hurt yourself!" He yelled over Sora's pain- wrenching screams. Sora flung outward and hit Riku square in the jaw. But Riku still held on tight. "King Mickey...What is happening to him?" Riku yelled never taking his eyes off of Sora ready to dodge any flying feet or fists that came his way.
"It is much worse then I imagined...The Princess is in dire need. But this is a good sign as well. It means we're-"He was cut off by a loud beeping sound. "...There..." He finished. "Riku, pick him up, we need to get him to the Doors." Kairi looked at the two boys in fear. Mike right behind her.
"Riku, what if he..?" Mike started. Riku glared at him
"He wont die Mike...Sora's too strong for that..." And with that, Riku picked up Sora, who had stopped moving from exhaustion, and followed King Mickey out the doors of the ship.

The little group stood in horror at what awaited them. Millions upon millions of Heartless swarmed over the ground in front of them. They were so packed together that it made the ground look like it was a black moving mass of life. Instead of the dead earth that was underneath their own feet. But what they also saw that gave them hope, were two huge ornate doors, which were situated in the middle of all the Heartless. They glowed a beautiful white light. However, it only reached so far. But wherever it touched, the Heartless were not there. They did notice one thing though; the light was slowly starting to recede in on itself.
"The Princess is dieing. We have only until that light disappears to get her out. When we do, she'll gain a little more strength, and then...well...yeah..." He finished looking to Sora. Suddenly a burst of light came from within the Doors and Sora sprang upwards with renewed life. Everyone stared at him in disbelief. Just a few moments ago he was completely comatose. His Ultima Weapon appeared in his hands and he started forward like he was in a trance. The others moved to intercept him but King Mickey stopped them. He watched Sora with fear in his eyes. " You can't stop him now. The Princess knows he's here. She has called out to him filling him with light to enable him to fight through the evil. He is no longer in control of his body. The Light is, and he has become a force to be reckoned with..." King Mickey finished awed by Sora's power. Sora left the others standing behind him and stood above the darkness beyond. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open. Blank and sliver in color, he stared out. Leaping upward he soared toward the Heartless. Coming down hard and springing up quickly he charged the Heartless. Twisting this way and that he moved fluidly through the enemy striking down all in his way. Yellow eyes glowed in anger at him as the Heartless flung themselves at him in useless rage. Ripping through wave after wave Sora continued forward. He stopped in the middle of a clear patch. The light serving as a shield to allow him some moment of respite. However, it was short lasted. The light disappeared and the Heartless again charged at Sora. His sword sliced through them effortlessly, Sora could see his goal in front of him and ignored the pain that sliced through him as he neared his destination. He became fearfully aware that the light was almost gone from the door. Taking that as a shove forward, Sora screamed out his rage and whipped around in a wide arc, obliterating any that failed to move out of the way. With that one attack alone, he had wiped out nearly half of the darkness about him. The others on top the cliff waited with baited breath. Scared and yet amazed by Sora's immense destructive power. Continuing his race to the door Sora was greeted by a huge figure that rose up in front of him. The last obstacle to reaching that Door. He screamed and leapt upward landing on the creatures' arm. Then, running up its length he stopped at the shoulder and sliced the creatures' neck open, blood spurting everywhere. Sora leapt up again and landed solidly on its' head. Wrenching the sword free, he jumped downwards and landed gracefully on his feet. He then spun around and sliced the monsters' leg, so it could no longer stand. The monster reared back and fell smashing its' comrades to dust. Sora whipped upwards again and continued to run. He didn't have much time left. The light was almost gone. It was just a dull glimmer now. Crashing through the last wave of Heartless he arrived at his destination. What little light there was left shielding him from the Evil that continued to multiply. He lifted his Keyblade and a beam of light shot from it and he heard the door click open. Everything went silent then. Sora waited as the Doors began to slowly grind open to reveal a light within. Everyone looked with baited breath to see what was on the other side. Behind him, the Heartless screamed in anguish as the light from the open door destroyed the last of them. Then, Sora spotted a figure standing in the middle of the doorway, light outlining her entire being. Riku and the others gasped. There stood in front of them finally, the Princess of Light. They had released the Light and now, the Darkness stood no chance.
