6H: Welcome back all! This chapter may not be so long. It's almost the end, so I'd like to give out one last gift... Cedeile, Aru, and Ryu plushies! A set for everyone! Let's begin now.


Kingdom Hearts-Shattered Fragments

Fragment 75-The Final Battle! Closing the Door


They all flew up and hovered in the air in front of Ansem's body. He was ready for them, his double bladed weapon ready for them, and they were ready for him. Cedeile, Sora, Ryu, and Goofy went in first. Cedeile hit him twice, purifying light erupting from the slashes, then Sora landed a few hits. Ryu and Goofy came up from behind, frocing Ansem back. He came at them, cutting them both. Cedeile flipped back, floating upside down for a few mintues.

"WOODAGA ARROW!" Aru yelled. The arrow shot towards him, but he slashed it in half before it hit.

"FIRAGA!" Donald cried, but again, it was blocked.

"What do we do now?" Cedeile screamed.

"Cedeile! That white thing hanging out of your pocket!" Sora yelled. Cedeile was confused at first, but then looked down. The white ribbon Nabuki gave her back in Traverse Town was there.

"This ribbon is an attachment for the heartblade. It will unleash a great power-the heartblade's most powerful attack at this point..."

'Nabuki...' She grabbed it and yanked it out of her pocket. She latched it onto the heartblade, and a white light burst from it. When it cleared, the heartblade was entirely white, and slightly shorter than before. The single ribbon was tied in a one looped bow at the base of the white heart. With a new power armed, Cedeile charged back in.

"WHITE PURIFICATION!" She yelled. A huge cross of white light hit Ansem dead on. His voice screamed out. "Take that, bastard-for keeping me down and out!" Sora went in and wailed on him. Cedeile came in as well, and used white purification over and over again.

"AQUAGA!" Aru cast the spell expertly.

"THUNDAGA!" Donald yelled, swinging his staff. Goofy hurled his shield at Ansem, knocking him over, much to everyone's delight. Ryu rammed his sword through Ansem's body and then cut him lose of the cables.

"One more time!" Cedeile yelled. The heartblade changed from being white to it's miracle form. "LAST SECOND MIRACLE!" She yelled, directing the attack straight at Ansem. The keyblade in Sora's hand began to glow a dark light, and then exploded. when the smoke cleared, the Keyblade had changed forms yet again-to the Oblivion Keyblade.

"TRINITY LIMIT!" Sora yelled, sending the force at the ruler of darkness as well. That birght light, for only a moment, filled that darkness, and all of End of the World, with light. It was over.

Ansem was defeated.


"No!" Ansem yelled, going to the doors of Kingdom Hearts. "I haven't lost yet! Behind these doors, lies all the power I will ever need!" He turned to the white doors. "Kingdom Hearts! Fill me with the power of darkness!" he yelled.

"Good god, no." Cedeile said, smacking her forhead. "Can't he just DIE already!" The doors lurched open slowly, darkness pouring out along the ground. Aru became Hikari Tagami briefly.

"Ansem! Stop this now!" she yelled. Ansem held out a hand and the darkness struck her, forcing her to change back into Aru.

"Aru!" Cedeile yelled.

"I'm okay." She said, getting back up. Sora came out in front of the group.

"Hold it Ansem!" Sora said. "You can't win! Not with the power beyond those doors!"

"What the hell are you blabbering about?" Ryu asked him. Sora ignored him, a look of confidence and triumph on his face.

"How can you be so sure? Light will always fall to darkness!" Ansem said.

"That doesn't matter, because I know now..." Sora began to say. Cedeile realised what he knew to, and stepped forward to join him.

"Kingdom Hearts is LIGHT!" They both shouted. And true to their word, the doors released a great light that blinded Ansem, and he began to fade away.

"No...how can this be? Light...? Just when I ws so close to Rakuen! Cyanna...I did it for you!" Ansem whispered before he was completely gone. The light subsided, and they saw their victory. They all cheered and celebrated briefly. Sora and Cedeile hugged each other and jumped up and down in the air like they were on a sugar high.

"YES!" Ryu said, clenching his fists in triumph. Aru and Donald grinned at each other and nodded, acknowledging a job well done. Goofy cheered and threw his hat in the air. But there was work still to be done. They flew to the door and stood in front of it. Cedeile whistled.

"These are pretty impressive." she said.

"No time to admire them, Cedeile!" Sora said. "We have to close them!"

"Wha-? But how? They're HUGE, if you didn't notice!" she yelled.

"Come on! There's six of us, after all. We can get them closed." Ryu said.

"Let's do it then!" Donald said. Cedeile, Ryu, and Sora took one side, Aru, Goofy and Donald took the other. They pushed as hard as they could, their feet slipping in the sandy ground. Goofy decided to peek around the door.

"Whoa!" he said.

"Stop staring and keep pushing!" Donald yelled.

"But-" Goofy said. Cedeile peeked aroudn the door too.

"HOLY DAMNIT TOHELL!" she yelled.

"That's a new one." Ryu grunted as he was pushing on the door.

"No! Look!" She yelled again. They all did and gasped. Beyond the door, everything was twisted and evil, and among the carnage, an uncountable horde of heartless waited for them.

"Damnit! I can't purify them ALL!" Cedeile yelled.

"We gotta close the door!" Aru said. Some of the heartless began to approach.

"It's no good!" Sora said. "We won't make it!"

"Come on, damn it!" Ryu strained. Aru fell against the door, completely out of energy.

"I can't..."

"No! Keep going! You guys-!" A famillar voice pleaded. Two hands grabbed the door from the inside. Aru and Sora looked up. Those black gloves looked awfully famillar.

"Riku!" Everyone cried out.

"Come on! I'll help too! Let me try to make up for my sins!" He said. Sora nodded and they all began to pull the door closed. Still, the door hardly moved for them, and the heartless were coming closer. Some were even reaching through the door and grabbed at them, their clawed hands leaving bleeding cuts in their skin. One grabbed Cedeile's leg up near her shorts, she screamed and whipped out her heartblade, wacking it's head off and then puverizing it to death.

"Cedeile, get a grip!" Ryu yelled as one clawed through his arm.

"Sorry! I can't help it if the heartless are perverts! That thing was trying to go right up my shorts, I swear it!" she yelled back at him.

"It's no good! We aren't gonna make it!" Sora shouted. One came out and left four claws marks across his face. He fell backwards, crying out in pain as blood dripped down his face.

"Sora!" Cedeile cried. She held out a hand to him to help him up. He took it, stood back up again, and pushed with all his might. Still, the door refused to budge.

"If we don't close it, then the heartless will disrupt the balance even further, thus throwing everything into chaos!" Aru yelled.

"You forgot the part where we DIE!" Cedeile added, kicking another back behind the door.

"I'll help you guys now!" A voice called out. Donald and Goofy thought it was an awfully famillar voice, and they looked beyond the door as a bright light shone out. The others followed suit. There stood a figure-the figure of King Mickey, with a keyblade so much like Sora's, yet different.

"Another keyblade?" Ryu asked.

"Your majesty?" Donald and Goofy yelled out.

'That's the king of this time? I really have been dead for centuries.' Hikari Tagami said in Aru's mind. She would've laughed if the situation wasn't so dire.

"Now, masters, let us close the door for good! This darkness was never meant to exist in our world!" Mickey said. Cedeile and Sora looked at him in shock.

"But doing that will-" Donald was about to say, but Mickey shook his head.

"Don't worry. That door that leads to light will always be there. Rakuen is still closed."

"Sora, Cedeile-you can trust the king!" Goofy assured them. Riku looked back at the heartless. They were swarming up now like never before. He turned back to them.

"Hurry you guys! We don't have much time!"

"Riku!" Aru cried. He turned back to her and looked at her sad crimson eyes. He smiled at her.

"Don't you remember? We'll see each other again-I swear it."

"I know." Aru said. "Just-"

"Not now! Sora, Cedeile-!"

"All of you have done well." Mickey said. "Donald, Goofy, thank you for your unshaking loyalty." They all shoved on the door with all their force and it began to shut. Riku turned back to Sora one more time.

"Take care of her." He said. Sora nodded and with that, the doors went shut and Riku disappeared from view. The two masters jumped back and extended their weapons up the the air. A light built up underneath them and then radiated upwards, making them sparkle in gold. The energy built up and radiated outwards, like huge angel wings. They pointed their weapons at the door.

"Be sealed forever!" They both yelled. The light flew up the door and a click was heard, signifying the door was locked. On the other side, Riku looked at the doors happily as they were locked.

'Aru...'

And it was done. The darkness was sealed forever, but it wasn't so happy at all. Aru cried silently as the door faded out. Ryu looked on solemnly. Donald and Goofy watched on in sorrow as the door faded away...for now. When it was finshed, the light died down, and that was it. Cedeile and Sora looked at each other. They both were crying.

"It's not the end of them, right?" Cedeile asked.

"No. Riku's strong..." Sora replied, unsure. Cedeile looked back at where the door had been.


"You're such a jerk!" an eight year old Cedeile yelled, her black hair swinging out behind her as she threw a punch at a nine year old Riku. "I can't believe you!"

"Yeah?" He asked, punching back. He hit her dead on and she staggered backwards, holding her cheek. She spit on the ground. "You are the most anti-girl I have ever seen!" he retorted.

"That's it! I'm going to beat your brain in!" she yelled, tackling him to the ground.

"Stop it, you two!" Kairi begged.

"Lighten up, Riku! You know how angry Cedeile can get!" Sora called. Riku shook the sand out of his hair.

"You never learn!" Riku yelled. He went to punch her again, but she blocked him and she punched him with her clenched fist right in the nose. He fell backwards again and she pinned him down, holding his waist between her knees and holding down his arms with her hands.

"See how it feels?" she yelled. "You know nothing about me! You only think you do!" She was about to hit him again when she noticed the blood streaming down his face and the sad look in his eyes. She gasped and slowly got off of him. They were both covered in bruises and dirt. Cedeile had one of her teeth missing, but it was loose anyway. Cedeile looked at him, not knowing what to say. Their friends on the sidelines watched in suspense as they eyed each other. Then Riku stood up and walked over to her. He offered his hand.

"Well?"

"Huh?" she asked.

"Come on! I'll take you home. We're both a mess anyway." He said. Cedeile took his hand and he pulled her up. She looked at the ground, embaressed. "What?" he asked, annoyed with her.

"...I'm sorry, Riku." she said. He was taken aback at first, but then hid it.

"Whatever."


'Riku...we used to fight alot, about stupid things. And then our moms would yell at us because of it. Almost weekly they had to bandage us up and lecture us about violence. Where did those days go, Riku? Will we ever be able to live on the island again?'

Suddenly, the ground began to shake beneath them.
