Author's Notes: The happy Naruto ending chapter (everyone sobs because it's over). Here, Kakashi apologizes to Sora, Donald, and Goofy. There are also farewells and goodbyes from the Ninja Academy. And something truly happens to Squall and Yuffie (nope, it's not a kiss, but you're close). Also, a summoning gem! I suggest you read this chapter (But I know. You guys will just read the footnotes and not the whole story…you lazy bums…


Chapter 17: We Need To Be Strong

Hidden Leaf Ninja Academy

It was daybreak and everyone was up. The village is forever safe and every student of Hidden Leaf Village had their own little training early. The three i.e. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura turned out to be partners and also known as friends. Sora, Donald, Goofy, Sarutobi the 3rd Hokage Leader, and Kakashi looked at the three as they were happily training.

Kakashi begins to say something nice, "You know, I never liked them, but they are one of the greatest Genins I have ever seen in years."

Sakura and Naruto pulled Donald and Goofy and they started throwing rocks at each other.

Sarutobi the 3rd Hokage looked at Sora and asked, "Sora, are you probing for something called the Keyhole?"

"Yes your Hokage," he nodded.

"Come and I will show you the keyhole!"

"Okay."

"Sora, duck!" Naruto called.

"Duck?" Sora confusingly asked.

"Not duck! Duck!"

Donald was falling from the sky and then he landed onto Sora's back. "Ouch."

Sakura said, "We told him to duck!"

The Hokage took Sora into the room and he saw a scroll glowing. The others also joined them as their eyes narrowed the scroll. "Wow."

"I hate the designs on the wall," Naruto spoke his opinion looking elsewhere.

There, Sora saw a keyhole appearing from the sacred scroll on the wall. Sora took out his Cherry Blossom Keyblade and points it towards the scroll on the wall. The light of the Keyblade beamed straight at the Keyhole. Suddenly, the Keyhole on the scroll disappeared, and so did the words of the scroll.

"Well, I better start writing more of those deeds!" the 3rd Hokage said. "Here Sora, I want you to have this." The Hokage gave Sora '100 Elixirs'. "There you go. Kakashi, give him the other thing."

Kakashi sighed, "Okay. This is for the exception of my apology. Sorry I have misjudged you all." Kakashi gave him another Keyblade. It was called the 'Heart of the Jutsu' and he also gave him an oral ball that was spinning around and around. It was a 'summoning gem', 'Thunderbolt'.

"Sora, we will always remember you," Sakura reminded him.

"Thanks."

"Sora, are you sure you want to go?" Naruto asked.

"I'm positive."

"Okay." Naruto nodded and looked down then he looked up and said, "Sora, I got one advice for you. Go and kick some serious Heartless ass!"

Sora grinned, "Heh, I will."

"Maybe we'll see each other again soon. Real soon." Sasuke added.

Sora nodded. He then walked out of the office. "Bye." As they walked on, they saw Yuffie and Squall standing beside each other, smiling at 'em.

"Sora, me and Squall had decided," said Yuffie.

"We wanna stay here," added Squall.

"Are you sure?" Sora asked them, "There aren't any second chances."

"Yes. It might give me chance to trust others."

"Okay, you can stay. It's not like I'm going to force you guys to come with me."

Yuffie and Squall looked at each other with a smile on their face. They were glad that they had made their final choice.

"Sora, if there ever comes a time when we do meet, we will be right here waiting for you," Squall said.

Sora nodded.

Yuffie winked, "Donald, Goofy take care of him."

"Oh don't worry, we will," Donald replied.

One of Sailor Pluto's time portals opened up. Sora, Donald, and Goofy sauntered on. Sora stopped put his fist in the air, it was a sign that he was waving back. "See ya soon, you guys." The group responded by putting their fist in the air as well. "Okay guys, let's go to another world."

"Yup!" Goofy shouted.

The three went on to the portal.

"Sora, don't forget to come back if you have the chance." Naruto cried out to them, but he was already inside the portal when that happens. Suddenly Naruto's sad face turned upside down. "Of course he will."

Dark Lair

"Those silly ninjas were useless from the start," Queen Beryl said, looking at her orb.

"Tired of trying to use one of your forces against those fools I assume, my Queen?" said an unwelcoming voice. The queen did not expect him to come. He had a white face on his face were blue eyes and violet lipstick. He wore and dark red cape, blue and gold uniform and black boot. He smiled at the vicious queen with his teeth shaped like the fangs of a vampire.

"'Myotismon', I thought you were in your own world trying to cause havoc?" Queen Beryl reminded.

"I was, but I wanted to see my favorite queen is doing. I see your plans have been proceeding well."

"Sarcasm will be your downfall. But remember my citation, Myotismon. I will make sure my forces will take down those spoiled brats and capture all 7 princesses of hearts to open the final keyhole to this world.

"Such confidence. And yet, utterly naïve. Overall, I wish you the best of luck." Myotismon said his final words to his worthy rival and suddenly disappeared. Queen Beryl had to do something or Sora and Riku will advance victorious.

"Reiha?"

"Yes, my queen?"

"Bring Cell to me at once. I need a little talk with him."

Time Portal

"A summoning gem?" Sailor Pluto exclaimed.

"Yeah, but how do we restored it to its original state?"

"Uh, I have no idea."

"Maybe we should go to Traverse Town and find the 'Fairy Godmother', huh?" Goofy said.

"Sailor Pluto, do you know where you can take us to Traverse Town?"

"Traverse Town?" Pluto was infused by that name. She doesn't know nor where is Traverse Town. "Sorry guys, I don't know where nor what Traverse town is." They both sighed in hopelessly disbelief. "Yet I do know where you can find another magician that can liberate this gem?"

"Who and where?" Sora asked her.

"Go to 'Inverse Town' and find the 'Dark Magician Girl'. I think a 13 year old witch will point you to the right direction."

"That's great!"

Sailor Pluto opened another portal. She said to them, "This might not be the portal, but I'll reach Kiki and she'll come to you."

"Alright," Sora replied. Sora, Donald, and Goofy step into the portal. "See ya."


Footnotes:

1. 'Elixirs' fully restore a character's HP and MP. Can be equipped by party members.

2. I don't know where I got the 'Heart of Jutsu' from as a Keyblade name.

3. 'Summoning Gems' are little creatures who lost their home to the Heartless, but their hearts did not. After their world was once destroyed, they turned into a summoning gem. You need some kind of magic to release them from their gems to summon their true strength.

4. 'Thunderbolt'- does this summoning gem sound familiar to any of the Pokemon fans?

5. 'Myotismon' is a vampire-type digimon who is afraid of the morning light. He comes from the great depths of the underworld, and always impresses women with his charm by sucking the living daylight out of them. He usually comes to Queen Beryl to see what she's up to, and he also becomes one of her annoying rivals. But due to the fact that he annoying her by the second, he always wants to impress her. He is one of the favorite villains of "Digimon Adventures" (1999)

6. 'Fairy Godmother' is a powerful but generous and good-hearted fairy who helps Sora and his friends. Slightly absent-minded, but an expert at magic. She gives Sora and the others lessons in magic as well as advice on their journey. She first appeared as Cinderella's Fairy Godmother in "Cinderella". (1950)

7. 'Inverse Town' is just like Traverse Town, but only darker. You will know later on in the story.

8. 'Dark Magician Girl' was once a human. But when her world was destroyed by the Heartless she turned out to be a Duel Monster instead. She is a very powerful and beautiful magician who somehow serves the King of Games, 'Yugi' in any kind of duel. She appeared as a delicate little magician in "Yu-Gi-Oh!" (1996)
