Chapter ten- The Truth will set you Free

"It's me Raiden…I know you better than that, tell me the truth" Sora said, Raiden span around, "Shut up Sora! This isn't your business!" the god shouted before backhanding the boy the face, Sora flew back and crashed into a mountain side, "Gahhh!" Sora cried as he hit the rock, Raiden stepped forward with a look of concern, but quickly shook it off and turned back around, Sora slowly got to his feet and approached Raiden again, "What happened?" the boy asked, Raiden turned back around, "What?" he asked, "This isn't about spreading order through out the universe is it Raiden…it never was, why are you really doing this?" Sora added, looking straight into the thunder gods eyes. Raiden slowly turned back towards the battle, "Quan Chi…grrrr, while you were frozen…I took on a pupil named Lui Kang, he was an incredible fighter…and an even more incredible person, he was like the son I never had, he fought in a tournament to save his home world from invasion by Quan Chi before he became chaos guardian, Lui Kang fought hard and defeated Quan Chi…but…a year later…" a thundery tear fell from Raiden's eye, "…Quan Chi returned, and while I was training, leaving Lui Kang defenseless, Quan Chi…attacked and …killed Lui Kang" tears fell from Raiden's face, it was obvious now…this was about revenge all along. "Im sorry Raiden" Sora replied putting his hand on the god's shoulder, "You're sorry! Everyone is sorry! Don't you understand, your compassion means nothing! Quan Chi must die for what he did! And the Heartless will do this!" Raiden screamed, Sora jumped back, "The Heartless are evil! Once there done here they will move on, they will kill everyone and everything until they are all that's left! Do you think this is what Lui Kang would want!" Sora yelled back, Raiden looked furious, he raised his hand and released a stream on electricity that locked Sora in place while electrocuting him, "Ahhh!" the boy yelled, "How dare you speak of him! You have no idea how it feels to lose someone!" Raiden yelled. Through his pain, Sora growled and got to his feet, Raiden looked shocked, Sora then blasted an energy wave and blew the electricity away, "I LOST MY WHOLE FAMILY! DON'T YOU TELL ME I DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS!" Sora screamed with tears in his eyes, Raiden lowered his arms, still looking shocked, Sora continued, "And as much as I miss them…I know they would want me to live…not kill, not this" Sora said pointing to the carnage on the battle field, Raiden looked back to the temple that was now crumbling to the ground, he looked at the smashers that were fighting well but were being cornered, Raiden dropped to his knees, "What….am I doing!" he yelled, more tears fell from Raiden's eyes, "OH GOD!" he yelled then started crying, "Oh Lui Kang! Im so sorry! Im so sorry!" Raiden cried with his face buried in his hands.
Sora approached his friend, "It's not to late Raiden…you can send the Heartless back to their cage, you have the key and the power" he said, Raiden looked at Sora and slowly got back to his feet, "Yes…I do…I must send them back!" the god said as he began casting a spell like no other, the power began to surge around Raiden, the mountain started to crumble and the sky shot lightning down at Raiden who then raised off the ground, "LET THE DARKNESS BE UNDONE" the thunder god bellowed, "BACK TO YOUR ETERNITY" Then a huge stream of light sprayed down on the Heartless who roared at Raiden, the smashers all looked up and cheered…but something was wrong…the Heartless weren't disappearing! "There is to many of them…I cant do the spell!" Raiden yelled, "What can we do!" Sora called back with fear in his voice, Raiden, looked down and thought…then came to the only conclusion… "The master must go first" he said to himself, then began casting the spell again, "What are you doing...Raiden?" Sora called, "Sora…look after yourself, and you smashers…I am so sorry for what I have done…I hope one day you can forgive me" he said, then he called upon another lightning bolt, "LET THE MASTER BE GONE AND THE DARKNESS FOLLOW!" He shouted, "Raiden noooooooo!" Sora screamed. The blast slowly started dissolving Raiden, sending him to the Heartless' prison, "This is the only way Sora…im sorry" Raiden said as he began to disappear, Sora cried and tried to reach for Raiden but it was no use, "Goodbye Sora" said Raiden, he then completely vanished and so did the Heartless, the dark creatures roared and screeched and soon were all completely gone…back to the darkness for all eternity.
