Title – The Final Battle
Author- Brittany
Disclaimer – I don't own anything… sadly. I would like to own Axel, Sora, and Riku, oh and Xemnas…. Okay anyways my point is, I don't own anything or anybody. Squaresoft and Disney do. Lara Croft belongs to …. Enix? Yeah I think it's them anyways I don't own her either!
Author's Note – I just saw Pirates of the Caribbean today! Man was that awesome and Captain Jack Sparrow… Johnny Depp was hotty hot hotness! Now he was truly mansex in that movie! Okay anyways…. Back to the story.
"He'll be alright." The long bearded man said descending from one of the rooms. He was stroking his long white beard with apprehension.
"I thought so. He seemed stable enough to walk, that is a good sign right?" Riku said sighing in relief on the couch.
"Yup, I remember one time when I was hit in the back with a bullet… god damn that mother f-"
"Hurt we know." Yuffie cut Cid off. He mumbled something and lit a cigarette.
"I cant believe we won." Kairi said aloud sitting next to Aerith.
"Speaking of won… where is Sora?" Cloud said from the back, he was leaning against the door frame.
They had indeed won the battle. Axel killed Larxene. Her darkness and evil will no longer linger here in Radiant Garden. No more heartless, for once the sky was beginning to turn blue. The people of the town have finally begun to come out of their houses. They could hear children laughing once more. Adults were laughing and running around planting plants in gardens and laughing joyfully also alongside the children. They were happy again. Their home was being restored.
"I thought I saw him go out on the porch." Kairi said sitting up and walking over to the front door. She pulled the door open and looked up towards the sky. it was beautiful once again.
"Once Axel gets better we'll be heading out again." Sora wasn't alone, King Mickey was talking to him, explaining the situation. Kairi stepped out of the house and shut the door behind her. She walked up to Sora and grabbed his arm.
"Hey babe, feeling okay?" He asked her. She nodded.
"You did a great job today Kairi." Mickey told her smiling.
Kairi blushed and nodded her head in thanks. She was exhausted. She surely wasn't used to this kind of abuse on her body as Sora and the rest of the gang were.
"We were just talking about leaving once Axel gets better. We're heading out to Port Royal. It's really bad over there. The King said he's been there trying to keep it at bay, but they just keep coming. Someone is behind it and we have to find out who." Sora explained keeping his arm around her.
"I believe Larxene brought back some of her lackeys. Thing is… she wasn't in charge last time." Mickey said stroking his chin.
"Maybe their not being controlled by her. Maybe there is a darker force behind this."
"I think your right Sora, but something started with her. She brought them back; she is just a puppet, like the rest of them."
"So we have to defeat these… puppets." Sora said finally understanding.
"Yes, we need everyone's help. That's why we need to wait and rest for a while. Let Axel reach full health, I will be waiting. I will know when he was well. I'll be back with the gummi ship. Take care Sora, and rest, we'll all be needing it." King Mickey nodded to Kairi and Sora, then swung around running in the opposite direction and out of sight.
Kairi turned around and faced Sora, "You know I love you right?"
"Of course." He kissed her nose.
She hugged him tightly.
"Kairi what's wrong?"
"I'm just worried."
"You'll be alright." He hugged her tightly back. But she pulled away.
"No, I'm worried about you. Sora I'm scared. I really have a bad feeling about this."
Sora bit his lip and looked away, this was much easier when he was younger. He was in love and fighting for peace on all worlds, just like he was now, but he was trying to find a way home back to the girl he loved. But now, this was different. She was standing next to him and he had to protect her, make sure no harm came to her. He didn't want her thinking he was calling her weak, but if anything happened to her…. He couldn't even bear the thought.
"Listen to me," He tilted her chin up with his finger, "I love you. And no matter what happens, our souls will be together. We'll be okay. It's just like old times, except we're together… and we're married…" He laughed lightly, "And this time I have Riku by my side."
Kairi smiled but it was a sad smile. She leaned against him looking up at the sky, "It's so beautiful."
"You have the most beautiful face."
She laughed lightly and kissed him on the cheek. She stepped on her tip toes and whispered, "Do you realize that everyone you know, someday, will die."
Sora pushed her back and looked at her shocked, "Why would you say something like that!
She shrugged, "I really don't know, it's like… something controlled me for a second." She looked at the ground confused.
The front door opened revealing Riku, "Hey lovebirds, were going to have dinner right now. Is it just me or is a storm coming in?" With that said he popped his head back inside shutting the door.
"Hey are you feeling okay?" Sora inquired tilting her chin up towards him once more. He was worried about her.
"I… I think so, just that strange things have been happening lately. I can't really explain it…" She looked away not wanting him to see the worried look on her face.
"See I knew I should have left you at home. Kairi you would have been safe and sound!" He scolded.
"Sora! I am your wife;" She broke off from his embrace and placed her hands on her hips looking fierce; "I am not your silly girlfriend anymore. I go where you go! No more 'I come back for you bullshit'"
"Hey you guys! You better hurry up before Cid and Yuffie eat everything!" Tifa said poking her head out of the window and giggling.
Sora looked at her and sighed, "We'll talk about this later okay?" When she nodded they both walked into the house being filled with the scent of delicious mouth watering food.
Kairi walked passed Sora, took a plate filing it up with food and sat down next to Tifa and Aerith. Sora felt awful. He was feeling suddenly sick. He brought her into this world of mess. She didn't need any of this. She should be at home taking care of their parents.
"That's not very fair now is it?" he argued with himself. Why should she have to stay home? She's an adult not a child anymore; she was free to do what she wanted. He suddenly wasn't hungry anymore.
He took the opportunity to sneak quietly out of the living room and into one of the bedrooms while nobody was looking. He sighed and walked over to one of the beds and sat on it once he was safely hidden behind this door.
How long would this battle last? And why was Kairi talking insane? Were they all losing their minds? No just him.
"Hey?" Sora looked up to see his best friend at the door.
"Hey." He moved over to make room for his friend.
"So what's wrong?"
"I don't know, I've just been worried about Kairi." He admitted.
"Come on dufus, she's a big girl. She's liable to take care of herself. Make the best out of this situation Sora, that's what your best at. Just like old times."
"I know… you know what I've just realized?" Sora said perking up instantly.
"What?" Riku leaned back against the head board of the bed.
"Since we got here Kairi and I have been… well not so close right now. I need to do something to make her feel better."
"Why don't you just take her out? Like on a walk? Remember she loved those when you guys were younger." Riku yawned.
"I think I will. You know, I feel better already." Sora smiled and jumped up from the bed. He punched Riku lightly and ran from the room. Riku smirked and shook his head.
Sora thundered through the door and out into the living room. Everyone turned around to look at him. He ignored all of their looks and ran straight to Kairi.
"Come on!" He grabbed her hand and her plate of food throwing it on the table. He smiled at everyone else and waved goodbye as he pulled Kairi outside of the house.
"What the bloody hell?" Cid swore shaking his head, "Crazy young people."
"They're in love!" Yuffie, Tifa, and Aerith all said in unison.
"Sora where are we going!" Kairi cried. She was being drug by the arm. Where ever they were going Sora had a good idea because he made no faults when they came to turns or corners. They ran straight into a forest area trees and branches covered the sun light.
And he stopped running. Kairi bumped into his back from his sudden stop. She collected herself and looked up over his shoulder, well more of to the side of it since he was too tall.
"Oh my…." She uttered. Her eyes were as big as saucers and her face expressions seemed to dance in delight. "Sora, what is this place?"
"I found it one day when I was fifteen. We came here, and one night when Leon and the gang were asleep, mind you it has been a long day of trying to guess passwords and getting arrested, and trying to get out of death games…."
"Arrested, death games! My god what have you been doing?" She cut him off.
"I walked off on my own and came here; I was so entranced by its beauty I promised I would bring you here one day. And just today, when I was talking with Riku, I almost forgot. But then I remembered…. So what do you think?" He turned around to face her smiling and ignoring the fact that she cut him off.
It was a pond but a small waterfall about ten feet tall fell from the other side. Tropical flowers aligned the whole perimeter. The green grass surrounded them in a green like oasis.
"This place is beautiful Sora…" She whispered and hugged him tightly.
The trees were so thick that they prevented barely any light from coming in. She looked up at the sky, but all she could see was thick brush and branches. She giggled softly and cuddled closer to Sora. He placed his finger under her chin lifting it up and smiling at her.
"No you're beautiful. And I want to say that I'm sorry, I haven't been paying any attention to you… and I love you," He cupped her hands together in his, "I really do. I want nothing more then for us to work and to be happy." He kissed her cheek.
"When we got married… I knew there was a lot of change ahead of us, but I knew instantly that we would make it work. After all, we were meant to be." She giggled leaning against a mossy tree. She pulled away from his hands and swung behind the tree.
Sora knew exactly what she wanted. She wanted to play. She wanted to be carefree again, to forget what was going on, to forget the fights they had, and to forget there was a war going on.
He smiled as his beautiful red headed wife threw her small coat over to the grass and ran past him. She looked beautiful in that simple white skirt and brown tank top. Her hair was hanging loosely from the pony tail that was 'supposed' to be holding it together. She kept jumping from behind tree to tree giggling as she went by.
He finally went to go catch up to her and grabbed her waist making her squeal in surprise. She swirled around to face him and captured his lips in her own. It seemed that they stood like that for ages, because the next thing they knew they were running around in wet clothes playing in the rain.
It was just like they were when they were just children, running around playing in the rain tickling each other. It was like finding out they were in love all over again.
Sora was happy, he was playing like a child in the rain with his wife, Axel was alright and going to be fine. Riku was still by his side no matter what, and all of his friends are still standing by his side. It seemed that no matter what these worlds were coming too…. They would fight side by side.
Port Royal would be a piece of cake with them by his side. As he lay there in the wet grass breathing heavily lying next to Kairi, rain splashing on his face he thought that nothing could ever bring him down, as long as he had her and his friends by his side.
All they had to do now was wait for Axel to get better and they would all be heading off on their way to new adventures.
Awww Kairi and Sora mush! I've gotten more of the outline written out, so I'm changing the plot, much better, I can't believe I forgot to add worlds in it! How lame is that if there were no different worlds?
Anyways you know what to do people, give me some written love! MUAH!
