Game Over

by Anna Marie Raven

A/N: This is a one-shot AU type thing. This is what would have happened at the end of the game if Kingdom Hearts wasn't the door to light, but instead to darkness.
So without further ado,
Read and Review!

Sweat and blood and tears blinding him, Sora hacked away wildly at his foe. He felt the blows connect, but he couldn't be sure his opponent was dead until he could take a breath and wipe his eyes. Once he didn't feel any more movement from his enemy, he did just that, and opening his eyes…

…He saw he'd just beaten Goofy's brains out. But luckily, he's a cartoon character, so he should be fine, Sora reasoned. Then he turned his attention back to the fight.

Apparently, it was over. Donald lay on the ground unconscious, and Ansem stood at the entrance. All was lost. Black smoke flitted out of the ever-growing crack between the doors of Kingdom Hearts, and Ansem began to laugh maniacally.

"Supreme darkness…." He hissed in ecstasy.

But Sora would not be deterred. "You're wrong." He swung the Keyblade off of his shoulders and into a ready position. "I know now, without a doubt…" The doors were nearly half-way open. "… That Kingdom Hearts…" Almost there. "IS LIGHT!"

The majestic doors opened completely, smoke adding to the drama of the moment. The Keyblade began to shake of its own accord, and Ansem was worried for a moment that the boy might be right.

Then the Keyblade wrenched itself free of Sora's grasp and disappeared into the space-between that it occupied when not in use. Sora blinked. It was almost like his weapon was… running…away…

As the smoke cleared away from the doors, Sora could see where he'd gone wrong. There, churning and morphing was an unspeakable horror. A black blob creature with the Heartless crest was sloshing its way out of Kingdom Hearts.

Ansem laughed maniacally once again. "Come to me, Creature of Supreme Darkness." He opened his arms wide. "COME TO YOUR MASTER-- !"

The Blob continued to slide right over him, leaving nothing but a bubbling pile of goo.

Sora watched wide-eyed as the creature came within a few feet of him, and he without a weapon. "Oh, SHI--!"

The creature engulfed Sora the way he had Ansem, leaving but its trail of slime behind it. And just as it was about the do the same to Donald and Goofy, a man stepped out of the Darkness of Kingdom Hearts.

"Hey, Fido!" Riku called to the blob. It turned, so he continued. "Leave the duck and the dog alone. The mouse is just inside."

At that, the blob hurriedly slid back into Kingdom Hearts, and Riku shoved the doors closed. Waving his hand in the air, he managed to call the Keyblade, and locked the doors to the sounds of a falsetto voice screaming bloody murder.

Now the new Keyblade master, Riku smiled to himself, whistling Dixie as he walked the long winding road back to Kairi.
