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.

Author's Note – Uh oh! Evil Kairi? What the hell happened! Oh yeah… I'm writing the story…. Okay let's piece this together. I have all of my plot notes written down, it's just a matter of puzzling piecing the notes together. Wish me luck and here we go!

Kairi stood outside of a balcony in the world that never was, letting the rain soak her hair and clothes. Her heart was black. She felt nothing. She knew who she was… her name was Kairi. But she couldn't remember who she was or what she wanted. All she knew was… to kill Sora and anyone who stands in her way of wreaking havoc. And Xemnas did tell her anyone. She is to control every single world and control anyone there with the heartless, the nobodies are stronger so they could probably work better.

It was a strange feeling indeed to not know anything about your self, but to just know to kill. Kairi looked to her left as she felt a hand touch her left shoulder.

"You didn't kill Sora." He hissed in her ear. This man that claims to have birthed her. He tells her she is HIS creation, and that she MUST obey him.

He claims to tell her that she is all powerful. Then why does he say that she must obey him when she is more powerful then all? Even him.

"I saw no reason too. I wanted to show him who is boss." Her voice was lifeless.

But Xemnas saw differently about her choice of words, He wrapped his long fingers in her red hair and pulled hard, "You will do as I say! You don't make your own rules! Do you hear me!" He growled in her ear.

But Kairi did not like that. Who was he to scold her when she was the powerful one, not him? He made the wrong mistake. She swirled around and with quick reflexes she stabbed him with a short small knife.

He looked at her in confusion and betrayal. Kairi simply looked at him with her eye brow raised and a smile.

But a simple knife would not kill Xemnas. He pushed away from her and prepared to attack her but Kairi was quicker, she had all the powers from Nobodies and Heartless mixed together. She lunged at him with such speed and unleashed her keyblade that was given to her by Xemnas. She plunged her keyblade straight through his heartless body.

He gasped in shock and pain. "Y-you, why?" He stuttered, blood was starting to form in him mouth.

"Nobody can control a monster. Not even you." With her final words she put Xemnas out of his misery, his body faded into black smoke into the sky, into nothing.

She placed her keyblade back where it belongs and jumped off of the ten foot balcony. She was going to find Sora herself, without Xemnas.

The pain was overwhelming. He knew what happened, he got the shit beat out of him by his own wife… or what looked like his wife. That certainly wasn't his wife. He didn't want to open his eyes. He knew it would cause too much pain.

Too late somebody was already coaxing him out of his slumber. A woman's voice… Kairi?

"Sora…" She spoke again this time wiping away some of his bangs.

He opened his eyes and hissed as the pain consumed his brain. He moaned and placed his hand on his forehead.

"How are you feeling?" The woman asked again.

"Like shit." He sat up quickly causing another wave of pain, "Aeries, where is Kairi?"

But the brunette woman did not answer. She looked away with pain written all over her. She did not have to answer because King Mickey was there. They were back in Radiant Garden.

"You're majesty!" Sora cried.

"Relax Sora; I'm here to explain a few things." He said setting a bag down.

"Do you know about Kairi?" He interrupted. Everyone else was seated around the room and stayed quiet just watching. He assumed they all knew what happened.

"Xemnas is dead."

"What!" Sora was the only one in the room that was shocked. So… everyone else knew what King Mickey was about to tell him.

"So… the war has ended? What happened to him?"

Mickey thought about how he would explain this and then answered. "He was murdered Sora, and no the war is not over, the war has just got worse."

"What do you mean?" His head was hurting and he did not want to play these silly mind games.

"Kairi is your new enemy."

"That's impossible. Kairi is somewhere being held captive. That's an imposter."

Mickey began to grow uncomfortable and looked away, when he turned back to look at Sora his voice sounded stern, "I know Kairi is your wife Sora, but this is war. Kairi's heart is in there, but all it knows is to kill and fight. It has hatred and confusion in it, nothing good. Xemnas erased all of her memories and her heart's feelings, replaced everything with bad and evil. He somehow gave her heartless and nobodies powers,"

"She's the one that killed Xemnas…" Sora said softly finally understanding, "Then I have to fight her. I have to find out what I can do to break her and remember."

"And we will help you Sora, in any way we can." Leon said from the back of the room.

"Me too!" Axel said, everyone was silent up until now. Everyone nodded and gave Sora reassuring smiles.

Sora smiled back at them and pushed the sheets off of him. He had to go find Kairi before she did any real damage. She was now the one who controlled the heartless.

"Sora are you sure you can get up so quickly?" Riku asked.

"I need to stop Kairi." Everyone nodded understanding.

"Then you must move quickly before she leaves again." Mickey said walking towards the door, "I must go and lead without you guys. I'm sorry. But I will be back I promise."

With that said the King was gone. Walking out of the door and out into his own adventure.

Sora got out of bed and over to the end of the bed where his bag of stuff is. He picked it up and looked at everyone else.

"Are you guys coming?" He asked and smiled once everyone started grabbing their stuff too.

This was going to be hard. But perhaps if it was just Sora trying to break through her barrier one on one then perhaps it won't be so hard.

He kept thinking about what she was going to do to him as they walked along the path heading towards the Gummi Ship.

As they entered the ship and everyone sat down, buckled up and ready to launch he knew he had a plan.

Sora, Donald, Goofy, Riku, Axel, Yuffie, Cloud, Tifa, Aeries, Leon, and Cid all piled up in the Gummi ship anticipating the moment. They were anxious and worried. This was the final battle. But not only that, they had to fight against someone they loved and cared about. It is a terrifying thought to be defeated by someone you love dearly because you don't want to hurt them.

Sora was in bad shape. He kept picking at his skin. Riku was sitting next to him and would have to stop him.

Their anticipated ride over here had finally come to a stop. All eleven of them stepped out of the Gummi Ship into the streets and rain of The World That Never Was.

"What do we do now?" Aeries asked stepping into a puddle and grumbling about it getting in her boots.

"We wait for a sign." Sora said looking up at the sky. The moon light was starting to turn dim due to the rain clouds.

And there it was. Kairi stood on top of a building overlooking them. It was hard to see but it looked like she was smiling devilishly. She threw her arms out and looked up to the sky, letting the cold rain drops fall on her cheeks.

Rays of light began to shoot downward towards them. In these rays of light were heartless and nobodies. They sprawled out and began to uncoil themselves standing upright and leaping forward to attack. The fight had begun. Blades, cries, and clangs were heard whishing by Sora's ears as he ran past the raging battle. He had to go after Kairi, it was the only way of stopping this.

As he ran past everyone watching them fight he kept his eyes trained on Kairi as he ran towards the building. His heart was beating furiously, and as he ran he jumped off the ground and used his leaping power to help him up the building.

He never once took his eyes off of the red head. She kept her eyes trained at the sky, her hair was damp and it was flying all around her, she had a mystical glowing around her, but he guessed it was the light caused by the shining stars shooting downwards.

He ran at top speed not stopping once, as he ran he sliced heartless or nobodies that stood in his way. He crisscrossed his keyblade protecting himself from being hurt by these creatures.

He reached the top and steadied himself on top of the building. He stepped carefully down onto safe concrete and started at his wife. She was lost in whatever it was she was doing, her whole top body was facing up to the sky, and her head was tilted upwards concentrating.

He stood there in disbelief, his heart was beating faster and wilder as he watched her keep her concentration on the sky. What was he to do? Do what you must, his mind told him.

"Kairi?" He asked hoping for the best.

She didn't seem so lost in her concentration anymore, she looked irritated. Her arms lowered and she looked him dead in his face. A chill went up his spine. It was fear and regret he was feeling. Her eyes were blank, and all he could see…. Was darkness.

Fear struck him at top speed, this was the kind of fear that did not sit well in the pit of your stomach, it's the kind that made you feel like it could never get better, the kind you know you could never go home. He was frozen in spot by his fear. He couldn't move, even with her moving towards him with a menacing smile upon her delicate lips. She was beautiful, but a devilish beauty none the less.

He finally got the nerve to move backwards, each step that he took was a step closer to him tumbling down to his death. He gulped and kept his eyes trained on her, fearing she might lash at him any second.

"Kairi…. Please…" He pleaded fearing the worst.

"Please what?" She spoke. It was strange to him, normally when she spoke her voice held so many meanings, like love, anger, could even be sad, but this… this was toneless. It was a dead voice. It was strange. It was Kairi's yet, it wasn't.

His heels hit the end of the building. Still the red head continued to walk up to him slowly. It wasn't until her breath was hitting his cheek, and he could feel her warm body pressing up against his that he began to feel terrified. His breathing quickened and sweat began to form on his brow. He was sure she could sense his fear and feel his heart beat.

Kairi continued to tease him, blowing kisses on his cheek and rubbing her fingers up and down his arms and back up to his face.

"Why are you so afraid of me my darling Sora?" She coaxed.

"Y-you are not K-Kairi…"

"Who says I am not?"

Sora lost it, he pushed her back making her almost fall, but she quickly caught herself. It was only then that he realized what she was wearing. Her hair was hanging loose that fell in tiny curls due to the wind, she wore tight pants that looked beat up and torn, a shirt that was tight and short with spaghetti straps.

She was angry now. She scrunched her face up and pulled out a sword keyblade type weapon. She jumped and lashed at him with full force. But Sora was quicker then her this time. He blocked her and slashed back making her stutter for just a moment. She jumped backwards out of his dangerously swinging keyblade and blocked herself from his keyblade.

They were running along the building throwing attacks at each other, a few hits and there but nothing damaging. Sora was growing impatient with her jumping around and trying to hit him, but failing due to his newly regained speed.

"Kairi! Please stop, this is madness! You must remember something!" Sora shouted knocking her down with his feet after a nearly close blow to the head from Kairi.

But she ignored him and rolled to the other side, quickly picking her self up and holding her weapon out in front of her. The two of them stood there breathing hard and staring at each other. Waiting for the other to move…..

"YUFFIE!" Riku shouted to the small ninja girl. She was almost hit by a powerful attack from a heartless. But Riku's warnings led her to swing around and block them. She disposed of the heartless quickly and moved onto three more trying to pull Aerith's hair.

Riku scouted the area making sure everyone was alright and cutting down any thing that stood in his way. He knew Sora took off trying to put some sense into Kairi's head while the rest of them took care of the monsters down here. But how long would it take for Sora to throw some sense into her head? The heartless have stopped falling from the sky. But there were hundreds of them.

Nonsense… Riku remembered Sora talking about killing a thousand heartless at one time. And he was by himself; if Sora can take out one thousand then of course they could do this all together.

He looked up for a second to see if he could see anything. It took him a moment for his eyes to adjust but he saw something that made his breath catch in his throat.

Kairi and Sora were stuck in a ferocious battle swinging each other around, clashing key blades together right next to the edge of the building. What if one of them fell over? As he stood there staring he could see them slipping and sometimes falter and trying to keep steady. He groaned in pain from something scratching him on the back. That was stupid, turning your back in a battle. He turned around and quickly sliced the nobody that cut into his back. He looked up once more and whispered 'good luck Sora,' before returning back to the battle.

Sora did need help. He was beginning to weaken. It was like she had unlimited strength. He was trying to hold her back with his keyblade but even as he dug his feet in the ground he was still being pushed back by her, his muscles were straining to have a break, and his side was killing him. She got him bad in the side, no doubt she cut his skin. This was it. It was now or never.

"Kairi I love you." He forced the words out even through all the strain.

He felt her push become less strong. She was backing off. He decided to give it another go at trying to talk to her.

"I know you are still in there Kairi. I know my wife still loves me. Remember our wedding day?" He kept looking her in the face. He saw her eyebrow move upward but that was it. No expression change.

"Remember how we talked about kids? I know you want a baby girl really bad. I read it in your journal one day by accident. I've been selfish Kairi I know this. But I will change. We will get through this and it will be different." Finally her expression changed. It was a mix of anger and sorrow.

"Let's go home Kairi, I know you are stronger then this. Whatever he's done to you, I know you will get through it. Please… I love you." She pulled the keyblade away and was now standing there, in front of Sora, tears down her face.

"Sora?" She asked. It was her voice.

Sora chocked out a small sob and ran to her hugging her tightly.

"Sora, you have to save them from me. I love you." Sora was confused. He thought he already did save them from her. He was pushed backwards onto the ground. He quickly grabbed his keyblade and stood up to look her in the face.

She still had tears running down her cheeks but she no longer Kairi. Her voice was Kairi's but that was it. She was pleading with him. He knew exactly what he had to do. Even if it meant making the greatest sacrifice ever. His happiness. Tears were pouring down his cheeks as he held his keyblade up. She stood there, so beautifully. Even though darkness surrounded her heart he knew she would always be beautiful inside.

He took a deep breath and held his tears in as he watched her lunge for him. It all happened in slow motion. She was running at full speed trying to attack him once more but he stood there, watching her hair fly back out of her face, her skirt going the same way as her hair, and her boots clunked as she ran his way.

She slashed at him cutting his arm deeply. He cried out in pain and closed his eyes as he plunged his keyblade into her chest, piercing her heart. Everything was still. He knew it had to be done for the evil to be gone. But it hurt most to know that your wife was herself, no more evil once she was dead. He released her soul, that was the main thing.

He caught her before she fell and pulled the keyblade from her chest. Tears were falling down her cheeks still, and blood lightly ran from the sides of her mouth. He set her down on the ground and stroked her cheek.

"I love you Kairi, god I love you." He hugged her tightly crying against her cheek. He was soaked with her blood.

He felt a hand brush his cheek. Sora looked up to see her smiling at him.

"You did it." She smiled.

"Why Kairi? Why couldn't it be different?" He argued. His sobs were straining his speech.

"I'll never leave you, don't forget. I love you…." She closed her eyes and her hand fell. She was gone.

All the pain and suffering Sora felt at that moment released into pain striking sobs. The sky was no longer dark and eerie, but turned into a beautiful starry night. The evil was gone. The war was over with. He heard cheers down on the ground. Peace was here. But Kairi was gone. Peace was not in his heart right now.

He continued to cry holding her tightly against his chest, moving her backwards and foreword, wanting her to come back, wanting this so bad to be a nightmare. But somehow he knew that this was the end.

He sat there for what seemed like an eternity crying his heart out holding her still warm body close to his until he finally got the strength to stand up.

He clumsily set her down and kissed her lips softly. He picked his keyblade up and put it safely back where it belongs. He then walked back to Kairi and picked her up keeping her close to him.

He was numb. He felt nothing but pain. He cried so much that he didn't have any more tears to shed. He carried her all the way downstairs to where everyone else was. He held her close to him, still feeling a connection to her.

Riku saw them first. He was smiling and laughing. He ran to them but once he saw Kairi his smile faltered.

It was like he understood his best friend's feelings. He quickly wrapped his arms around Sora even with Kairi still in between them. But the place was no longer evil. All the heartless and the nobodies around them were gone, everyone was cheering and laughing. Celebrating the death of evil.

Sora couldn't celebrate. Would not. He nodded at Riku and walked away. He knew Riku would explain to them. He ignored the sudden change of sound. The cheering stopped and was dead silent. A cry was heard just before he stepped through a black purplish portal and stepped through.

He was taking his wife back home for a funeral. She would be buried in a cemetery that he could easily visit. He continued to walk back to the gummi ship with low hopes. His wife was dead and his body was numb. He no longer felt the pain from his bleeding side, or his arm that was bleeding profusely. He just wanted to get Kairi back home.

Nothing was right anymore. Even if he did bring peace upon universes he still did not feel that this was right. This felt like a bad dream that would just make him feel awful in the morning. But this wasn't a dream. It was reality.

One more chapter everybody! Please don't hate me! I know it was so much to take in, but yeah one more chapter. Poor Sora. He needs hugs. For every review I get Sora gets a hug! Yay!
