Epilogue

The Long Road Ahead

Sora, Donald, and Goofy walked along on a long dirt road that seemed to go on for miles in what appeared to be an endless field.

"Well now what do we do?" Donald asked.

"We have to find Riku and King Mickey," Sora said.

"But where do we start look for that there door to the light?" Goofy brought up the question on all their minds. They stopped and then with a sigh hunched over. At this point a very familiar dog crossed their path.

"Pluto?" Donald asked.

"Hey Pluto! Where've you been?" Goofy walked closer and saw a slip of paper in Pluto's mouth. It was a letter with a certain symbol on it. "Hey, that's the King's seal!"

"Where'd you get the letter boy?" Sora took a step forward and Pluto began running down the dirt road away from them. "Hey!" Sora took off after him with Donald and Goofy in hot pursuit. They all laughed as they ran. Their journey wasn't over; they had a long road ahead.

"Remember Sora," came the voice from the dream long ago. "You are the one who will open the door to the light."

Another Side, Another Story

Deep Dive

It was night. A young man stood at a crossroads with his spiky brown hair blowing in the wind. He stared at the moon.

A bottle washed up on shore. Inside the bottle lay a message written on fine paper.
On the same rocky beach, the Heartless symbol flashed on one of the large rocks and a man walked right through the rock. He wore a long black coat zipped up in the front with a hood that hid his appearance. He raised his head and a glowing yellow eye was seen.
In a dark city, rain poured down and everyone was inside but one person. He also wore a black coat with a hood but no features could be seen of him. Hundreds of Shadows rose behind him and he turned around. These were not regular Shadows. These were Neo-Shadows of the Heartless. They stood at a normal man's waist with jagged antenna coming from their heads. They were much more human-like.

"Where's Sora?" The man summoned not one, but two Keyblades to his side. The Oathkeeper in his left and the Oblivion in his right. As the Neo-Shadows jumped at him he started to skillfully slice them down. One jumped at his back but he held the Oblivion behind him and it was destroyed. The Oathkeeper spun and killed in a forgiving fashion but the Oblivion destroyed without mercy.

Four Neo-Shadows jumped high into the air and started to fall toward him. The Dual-Wielder did a back flip and while he was upside down, tossed the Oathkeeper like a boomerang and killed those ones. The Dual-Wielder jumped onto the stairs of an extremely tall building, as there were now thousands of Neo-Shadows. He looked up to the top.

On the top of the building there was another man in a black coat but his hood was down. A dark blindfold hid his eyes but his silver hair blew freely around him. He walked to the side of the building and looked down with a hint of a smile on his face.
The Dual-Wielder jumped up and started running straight up the building. The Neo-Shadows followed him but he continues to slice them down. Some came from behind and some from the front but the Dual-Wielder was too skilled to be caught. He tossed the Oblivion into the air with all of his strength.
The Blindfolded Man dived off the side of the building and caught the Oblivion on his way down. Half of the Neo-Shadows changed course and ran after him. He cut down all the Heartless that got in his way.
Time seemed to slow to a stop as the two Keybearers passed each other. They both were on a screen that glowed with the picture of Kairi. The Dual-Wielder had replaced the Oblivion with the Kingdom Key. They stared at each other on their fall but kept going.
The Glowing Eyed man continued to walk on the beach until he got to another person in a black coat that sat on a rock. This man had no features that were shown.
Back in the city a figure fell to a rooftop while doing many flips. He landed with Golden Kingdom Key in hand. He wore a black coat also but he could clearly be seen. It was King Mickey himself.
As the Glowing Eyed man stepped up to the man sitting on the rock the sitting man spoke to him. "He looks just like you."
The sleeping form of the brown haired boy from the crossroads was flying over the ocean, alone.
"What took you so long, Kairi?"

"Can we do it? Against that?"

"We have come for you my liege."

"You are the source of all Heartless!"

"Sora?"

"Your highness! But why?"

"What is this place?"

"Is this the answer you've been looking for?"

"This is the world in its true form!"

"Maybe our journey meant nothing after all."

"Everything is coming back to me, the true…"

Kingdom Hearts II

Well, there it is! My Kingdom Hearts novelization is officially finished. I finished End of the World and this epilogue while listening to Green Day a little too loud, eating a little too many Doritos, and and drinking a little too much Pepsi. (I do not own Green Day, Doritos, or Pepsi.) Personally, I think they turned out just fine.

Thanks to anyone and everyone who reviewed. It was a long hard journey and I'm glad I could take you along for the ride. And remember to look out for the novelization of Chain of Memories and my original Zelda story, coming soon to a computer screennear you! (Man, I really need better jokes.)

So until then this is the Prince saying, Love and Peace!
