---Final Chapter: Re-Awakening---
Sephiroth swung his blade at Riku first. Riku did a backflip over the sword and lunged toward Sephiroth with his soul eater. Sephiroth deflected the attack and sent Riku flying toward the edge. While Riku was recovering to his feet Sephiroth summoned five blew meteors and flung them straight at Riku. Riku rolled away from four meteors and deflected the fifth straight back at Sephiroth with a blow straight across the chest. Sephiroth, stunned by the attack, disappeared into thin air.
"Where did he go?" asked Riku as the area once again went silent. All of a sudden Sephiroth reappeared behind Riku and swung his sword straight at him. Riku barely escaped being clipped from behind and managed to get away from the attack.
Sephiroth then flew several pillars of flame around him. Riku knew he could not get to Sephiroth while the flames were surrounding him. Sephiroth and Riku stood and looked each other dead in the eyes with their swords drawn.
"Strange how strong the darkness can be. There's only one other person who's managed to get this far against me," said Sephiroth.
The flames disappeared from around Sephiroth's body. Riku was not interested in talk and only wanted to end this once and for all. The length of Sephiroth's sword gave him the advantage and Riku knew he couldn't stand a chance against him in a regular swordfight. Sephiroth swung his sword flat once again and Riku jumped and landed on the flat part of the blade. Riku used the split second he had to lunge toward Sephiroth. The soul eater clipped the side of Sephiroth's cheek, leaving a nicely sized gash in the side of his face. Riku stood, looking at Sephiroth, and waiting for the next move.
"Hehehehe," laughed Sephiroth, "The Advent Children are calling to me. You can even draw blood against me. Let's see how you do in this place when I summon the spirit of my home world."
The world of Mako instantly began to transform and morph itself. The Mako from below the world had made its way to the top and the entire platform Riku and Sephiroth were standing in became engulfed in a sphere of the green luminescent liquid. Riku watched as Sephiroth became enclosed inside a sphere of flames and began to rise from the ground.
Soon after that, the image of the Mako changed to the street of a ruined city. The city was far more advanced than anything Riku had ever seen, probably one of the most advanced cities in the universe; next to Deep Dive City, of course. But, the city was in ruins and it appeared some great disaster struck the city.
"This city, Midgar, is where my plans were foiled the first time," said a voice within the ball of flames. "This is where you shall witness the true darkness of the black materia and the power the Heartless have over it."
The flames evaporated and a much more menacing looking Sephiroth was left hovering above the ground. Riku drew his soul eater and looked at Sephiroth. Sephiroth still did not say anything, just thrust out his right arm. At that moment a single large, black wing flew out of the right side of Sephiroth's body.
Sephiroth remained silent and then flew toward Riku at an amazing speed. Riku had a hard time keeping track of Sephiroth's movements but did manage to dodge several of the attacks Sephiroth was throwing at him. Riku and Sephiroth seemed to be evenly matched in both speed and strength. Finally, Sephiroth flew back and backed himself into the edge of the street. He brought his fist in front of his hand and a red light with a ring above it began to appear. Riku ran toward Sephiroth but Sephiroth flung the red light straight at Riku, who went over the side of the platform, out of the World of Mako, and into the darkness below.
Riku was honestly thinking this was the end. All he could see was a couple of lights below him as he landed on the windshield of some sort of large gummi ship. Riku looked inside and saw King Mickey, a blonde-haired kid, and Naminé all inside the ship.
"Thought you would need a ride!" shouted the King, standing next to a blue, six-legged alien-looking creature. "I forgot to tell you about our new friend Stitch. He let us borrow the ship." Continued the King as they flew back up to the platform. The alien, Stitch, seemed to laugh happily.
"Thanks for the lift," said Riku, "But I need to get back up on that platform. I still have some unfinished business to get to."
"Of course. We'll be rooting for you!" said the King as the ship flew all the way back to the sphere of Mako where Sephiroth was waiting.
Riku jumped through the sphere of Mako and tackled Sephiroth straight into the ground.
"How many times do you need to die already?" screamed Sephiroth as he tried to lunge his sword straight into the ground at Riku. Riku dodged the attack and looked straight at Sephiroth, who again distanced himself and tried the red light again.
Riku was determined not to let that happen again, and ran as fast as he could toward Sephiroth. About halfway there Riku knew he couldn't make it to Sephiroth and used his last option. He hurled the soul eater at Sephiroth. Sephiroth was just about ready to fire the red light again when the soul eater punctured him straight into the heart. Several beams of light began to fly out of the wound Riku had given him.
"It's… not… possible…" said Sephiroth with his last breath.
King Mickey, the blonde-haired kid, Naminé, and Stitch all watched as the World of Mako exploded. Mickey bowed his head. The World of Mako being destroyed meant that Sephiroth was indeed dead and it was all over, but Riku was nowhere to be seen. Could it be that he… disappeared into the darkness?
Slowly, over the next few days, the worlds destroyed by Sephiroth began to reappear with all of its inhabitants who were killed by Sephiroth returning as well. At Twilight Town, King Mickey, the blonde-haired kid, and Naminé all celebrated the defeat of Sephiroth and the end of the Heartless Revolution. However, the Heartless were still many in number and some of the key players in the Heartless Revolution had still not been found. Ansem was probably still alive and regaining strength, as was probably many members of the thirteenth order. The real Cloud arrived at King Mickey's side to tell him the news.
"I'm worried about what will happen when Sora awakens," said Cloud.
"Why?" asked King Mickey.
"Because, as you know, whenever a being of light is revived an opposite and equal force is revived from the darkness. What if…"
"Save it. That's for another day. "said Mickey as they watched the fireworks launch over Twilight Town.
---EPILOGUE---
Even though Sephiroth had been defeated and the Heartless Revolution was stopped, do not think that the revolution was not successful. The Heartless had multiplied their numbers by about twenty times. Ansem had escaped and brought his subordinate Axel with him. Only Axel knows where Ansem is hiding, waiting for the day he will face the King and Sora again.
In Disney Castle, the Heartless and the Nobodies returned to the castle and continued their fight. Daisy and Queen Minnie seem to be holed up in the library trying to make a plan to defeat the Heartless and escape.
ONE YEAR LATER….
As Cloud predicted, the northern crater in the Midgar world shattered open with a loud sound the entire world could hear it. A light flew from the sky. It was not happy about the events that had transpired a year ago. It wanted revenge against both the light and the darkness…
Even through all of the darkness, in the deepest basements of Castle Oblivion, three white, pod-like structures opened up. Out, into the darkness, stepped the only light left in the world. The boy, holding his keyblade, had regained his true memories and was ready to continue his search for Riku and Kairi. The tall, dog-like man and the small duck were also ready to search for their King. The light had returned. The Heartless Revolution may have ended, but the final battle for Kingdom Hearts was about to begin. An unknown voice then whispered into Sora's ear…
No matter how powerful the darkness becomes, both the light and twilit together can shine brighter…
---THE END---
AUTHOR'S NOTE: That's it. I hope everybody liked it and as I said before, my aim was to not contradict anything that happens in KH2, but since I do not yet know the story of the game I had to guess most of the way and use my imagination.
