Me: YAY! This is the final chapter of this story.

Axel: YAY! Soon I shall be ruler of the world!

Me: No, actually, that's in the Tenth Part.

Axel: Oh darnit.

h890: Okaaaaaaaaay. What the heck are you two talking about?

Axel: You'll find out sooner or later.

Kyoto: Yeah. I shall rule with him!

fg00: Whoa! How the heck did you get here?

Kyoto: I can teleport, remember?

fg00: Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Sorry.

Kyoto: Don't worry about it. Now write the story, EEM.

Me: Okey dokey then.

Warnings: Well, this chapter has complete weirdness, just like any other chapter in my stories. There might be something along the line of profanity in here, but again, I don't read over these things before I type them.

Disclaimer: Do I really have to do this? I mean, you all know that I don't know anything. Did I say know? I meant own. My brain has been screwed up today.

Chapter 7: Truth

"You're coming with me," said Ryu Kuragari. "I have to obey orders."

"From who?" asked Sora.

"That's for me to know and for you to find out."

He picked Sora up with his teeth and carried him away.

"You know, I wasn't easily fooled by that dragon-soother you hired," said Ryu.

"Huh?" asked Sora, confused. "I don't know what you're talking about."

The dragon stomped on.

"You know perfectly well of what I'm talking about," he continued. "She was the dragon-soother that played the magical ocarina. Said her name was Elleinad."

"I've never heard of her," said Sora.

"Mmm-hmm. Right. Like I'm supposed to believe that."

"Where are you taking me?" asked Sora.

"You'll find out soon enough," said Ryu. "Just following my orders from the Superior."

"Who?"

"The Superior."

"No. I mean who is the Superior?"

"You'll see," said Ryu.

Sora could soon see huge black gates ahead of him. They were guarding a creepy, haunted-looking castle that was almost all-black. It looked like it was almost all burned down and it had a blood red carpet that led from the gate into the castle. The gates were at least 20 feet tall and had huge spikes and a flame a t the top. The castle doors were almost half the height of the castle.

The grass was dead all around it and debris from the castle was scattered everywhere. One of the towers had even fallen off. All of the windows were pitch black or broken and unlit. As he got closer he could see Axel in the front.

"What does he want from me now?" muttered Sora to himself.

"What?" asked the dragon.

"Nothing," he answered.

As they got to the gate Ryu Kuragari dropped him. Of course, he dropped him on his broken leg and it hurt even more.

"Thank you, Riku," said Axel.

"Can I eat him now?" asked Riku impatiently. "He looks extra tender."

"Not right now. Master wants to see him alive and fresh."

"Hey!" yelled Sora. "I thought you weren't working for him! And since when do you have a master, Axel?"

"Well, first of all," he said, "Riku is not really working for me. He's working for my master. And second of all, I've had a master for as long as I have lived. DiZ cares about me and for that I owe him my eternal gratitude."

"WHAT!" yelled Sora weirdly. "A few days he tried to choke you to death!"

"No, he didn't. I don't know what you're talking about."

"You do too! You do too! You're just trying to get me agitated! Go to Hell!"

"I've been there. It's actually quite lovely. Nice and warm."

Sora's face was red. Axel walked over to him and picked him up. He muttered something that seemed to be a password and the black gates swung open. He walked down the blood red carpet silent and zombielike with Sora kicking and screaming on his back. Usually he would get very angry about things like this and would try to kill Sora, but he just walked and started mindlessly in front of him. Something was different, and terribly wrong...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"The king ain't gonna be to happy about this. I mean leavin' Sora behind to be gobbled up by an extremely hungry, bloodthirsty, evil dragon while we run around like chickens with our heads cut off. That won't make the king too happy."

"I'm sure the king doesn't even know this happened, Goofy."

"Gawrsh I hope so."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Where are you taking me!" demanded Sora.

"To my master, DiZ," answered Axel. "He needs you for something."

The castle doors opened and they went in. Axel dragged Sora up a flight of long stairs until they reached a narrow hallway with a really big golden chair at the end. DiZ was sitting in it.

"Thank you, Axel," he said.

"My pleasure, master. Anything else you would like me to do?"

"No. Go sit in your room and do not disturb me while I'm talking to him."

"Yes master."

Axel went out of the room and around the corner.

"So, Sora," said DiZ. "Axel here tells me that you used to be his perfect little brother. Is that true?"

"Did he really say I was perfect?"

"Of course not. Everyone else thought you were, though. Especially me. I treated you as if you were my own son. I don't understand why Axel hated you so much. Now back to the point. Are you really him?"

"I dunno. I don't remember anything," answered Sora.

"Hmmm," hmmmed DiZ thoughtfully. "I could probably find those memories deep in your heart."

DiZ closed his eyes and concentrated. A few minutes passed by.

"Aha!" he finally yelled. "Found them! Let me refresh your memory."

He lifted his hand up and Sora's eyes grew dark. Then suddenly a hazy picture was in front of him. It first showed two boys with brown hair and eyes with black cloaks on. The one on the left was older and the one on the right was a little bit younger. The younger one smiled but the older one looked dpressed. Then a bunch of other people that looked vaguely familiar came in and started talking to the younger boy, not even noticing the older one. The older one tried to get their attention, but they still didn't notice him and he finally gave up. Another picture showed up showing the older boy being whipped so hard that gashes oozing blood were draped all along his back.

This time he had reddish-brown hair and was a little bit older than before. He kept on screaming "What did I do that was so wrong!" Tears were streaming down his cheeks. The third picture showed the boy in about his twenties. His hair was now about down to his shoulders. It was a little spiky, too. Sora could hear voices mocking him in his head, including his brother's. The boy recited a spell of some sort after that and blood started streaming out of his eyes. He was screaming in pain and appeared to be blinded. When he wiped the blood away Sora could see that his eye color had changed from brown to a very dark green.

In the fourth picture he first saw the younger boy walking by the older one. The younger was smiling, of course. The older boy was now light green-eyed and was very angry at something. Below his eyes there were faint green tears. Green, liquidy stuff was dripping out of his eyes and was gathering below them, making the tears darker and darker. His hair was a little longer, also.

In the fifth picture the older boy was standing on the top of a burning building, blindfolded. Surprisingly the boy was smiling, even though he was smiling evilly. Then he jumped off of it and was smiling still, like he just got rid of something bad. Right before he hit the ground, his brother appeared and caught him. The older brother jumped out of his arms as quick as he could. He took his blindfold off and threw it on the ground angrily. His eyes, which were now visible, were neon green and the tears below them were dark green. His hair was pulled back a little, but not much. He was probably now about 25 years old. The older boy did not thank the younger one at all for saving his life.

In the last picture Sora could see the younger boy's body burning on the ground. The grass and an oak tree next to it were burning also. Beyond the flames he could see Axel smiling evilly and with delight looking at his brother's dead and burning body. He then heard some voices coming that way and quickly put on his hood. He ran away and disappeared. Sora's eyes went black and then back to normal again. He could see DiZ putting his hand back down.

"Did you get all of that?" he asked. "That's pretty much his life's story."

He pointed in the direction of Axel's room.

"Well, I do have a question," said Sora. "In that picture before the last one, was he trying to commit suicide?"

"Mmm-hmm," answered DiZ. "He was sick and tired of being ignored, but since that didn't work he just decided that he would get rid of the problem. Makes sense to me."

"I see," said Sora.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Who's there?"

"It's me, Adnama. You know, the girl you hired a couple of months ago. I've come here to save you."

"From what?"

"From DiZ."

"What are you talking about? DiZ has never been mean to me, and he never will be."

"That's what he wants you to think. Hey, can I see the back of your neck?"

"Um…sure."

He turned around.

"Aha! There it is!"

She lept onto his back.

"Ahhhh! What are you doing! This so violates the rules!"

"Just hold still!"

YANK!

"Owwww! What the heck is that!"

"It's a mind control device that DiZ made."

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! If you'll excuse me, I believe I have some unfinished business with DiZ!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"So you're saying that I'm the younger brother?" asked Sora.

"Yep," answered DiZ. "Don't you think it's creepy how Axel changed himself like that?"

"Yeah, I guess so. But I still think it's unfair how you treated him. Maybe that's why he has such a bad temper."

"Maybe," said DiZ.

Suddenly the doors burst open and Axel came in red-faced and extremely angry.

"I thought I told you to stay in your room!" yelled DiZ.

"I did."

He drew his weapons.

"For about two minutes!"

"H-how did you escape the mind control device!"

"I have a few allies. Now tell me, how much does he know!"

"About what?" asked Sora.

"Shut up!" yelled Axel. "You're not part of this! Well, actually…"

He ran over to Sora and put the point of his weapon to his throat.

"If you don't tell me then the boy gets it!"

"You wouldn't dare!" yelled DiZ.

"I've killed him before so I can do it again!"

"Fine. He knows all the back to when you were normal to when you killed him."

"And all the stuff in between?"

"Yes."

"And why did you show him that!"

"I dunno."

"That's it! I can't stand this any longer! I quit! From now on I work for myself! No idiots or old geezers allowed! See you in Hell you old fart!"

"What did you just call me?"

"You didn't hear me? Probably because you're so old! HA! HA!" laughed Axel.

"Man, I think you've gone crazy," said DiZ.

"Well, I'd love to chat, but I have to go meet up with the dorkmeister's girlfriend! Goodbye!"

He disappeared and everything was quiet.

"Oh great!" said Sora sadly. "He's going after Kari. Now what am I going to do?"

"Don't know. Don't care," said DiZ. "I'm just wondering why Axel was acting so unorthodox."

"Maybe it's a side effect of the mind control devices. Just like if you drink a gallon of coffee or eat a bucketful of sugar."

"What does that have to do with anything?" asked DiZ.

"I dunno. I just like sugar and coffee."

"No wonder you're so hyper at times. Anyways, let's get back to the point. I need you as bait for our little psycho Axel to come back."

"You want him back!" asked Sora. "I thought you hated him. And why would you use me as bait? He doesn't even care about me."

"He does, too," answered DiZ. "He just is hiding his true feelings. Now let's go to the dungeon to lock you up."

"What!" asked Sora.

"Oh yeah. You're friends too. Sorry, I almost forgot."

He muttered something and Donald, Goofy, Pluto, and Jiminy appeared.

"What the-?" said Goofy. "Where the heck are we?"

"Hey, I don't where we are either," said Sora. "All I know is that we are in a castle."

DiZ grabbed them all and started walking down a long flight of stairs.

"Where's he taking us?" asked Donald.

"To the dungeon," answered Sora. "He wants to use me as bait for a guy named Axel."

"Why?" asked Donald.

"I don't know," said Sora.

They finally got to the stairs and to a whole bunch of cells. DiZ took a key, unlocked the nearest one, and threw everyone in. Then he closed the door and locked it.

"That oughtta hold you for a while," said DiZ, walking back up the stairs.

"Great," said Donald. "Now what do we do?"

"I don't know," said Sora. "Can you open the door with your magic?"

Donald tried every spell he knew on the lock, but it wouldn't open. Sora even tried the Keyblade.

"I guess we're stuck here, fellas," said Goofy.

"I wonder if they feed us," said Sora, looking at the skeletons.

"I highly doubt it," said Donald.

"I can help," said a feminine voice.

"Who's there?"

"A friend."

A lady with white hair and the same black robes appeared out of the darkness. She was holding a silver ocarina…

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!

Oh, and also. I did this chapter while listening to the many songs of Green Day I have. For some reason it makes me type faster. You should try it sometime. Just thought I'd tell you that as a good tip.
