Well folks, time to move on! I'll give cookies at the end. Here it is!
Flashback: "But the keybearer is no longer…" "No longer what?" Sora interrupted. "I'm right here. And I'm the only one who can stop it.": End of flashback.
"Sora! Please seal the key hole!" Jasmine cried.
"You got it!" he said running towards it, only to be met by a huge heartless.
"Look!"
"It's huge!" Suddenly, it disappeared. In it's place stood, Leon, Cid, Yuffie, and Aerith.
"Cid to the rescue! Ha ha!" Cid laughed.
"Sora! Close the keyhole!" Leon yelled.
"Uhh, right!" He said, sealing the keyhole. There was lots of applause.
"Sora, you did it." Leon high fived him.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"We came in Cid's ship." Yuffie answered.
"This was our childhood home. Long ago, when the world was attacked by darkness… People believed that the philosopher Ansem died to protect the people in the battle against the heartless. But in reality, Ansem was the one who created them." Leon explained.
"During his research on the heartless, he lost his heart to darkness. And his body as well." Aerith finished.
"That's why he took Corey's? Where did he go!" Selena asked.
"Into the dark abyss."
"All right! Let's go! I'm gonna go get rid of Ansem, and the heartless once and for all!"
"And then things will return to the way they should be!" Goofy added.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Sora asked, looking at the others.
"Well tell him you're sad guys!" Yuffie said.
"Once the worlds are restored, they'll be separate again."
"Which means we, won't see each other again." Sora supplied.
"Even the Gummie ship probably won't work." Leon added. "We may never meet again, but we'll never forget each other."
"No matter where we are, our hearts will bring us together again." Yuffie said with a smile.
"Yeah! You're right!" Sora smiled.
"I get a kick out of how naïve you are!" Cid laughed.
"Say what?" Sora asked, annoyed. "Let's go." He said turning to the rest of the gang.
"Wait." Seth said, looking at the others. "I think Selena, Megan, Izzy, and Kairi should stay behind. Who knows what we'll face."
"Yeah."
"What?" They screamed in unison.
"No way!" Megan said hotly.
"You can't leave us behind!" Kairi said flustered.
"We can fight!" Megan yelled.
"Besides, we've proven ourselves as experienced fighters!" Selena put in.
"Yeah!" Izzy added.
"If we stick together, we'll be fine." Kairi said.
"Sorry guys. We can handle it. Stay here." Riku said, walking off.
The girls were unhappy at being left behind. Izzy and Megan had huddled together, talking. Kairi and Selena sat in the corner opposite of them.
"So what do you think they're talking about?" Kairi asked, trying to make conversation.
"Who knows? Probably world domination." Selena said with a smile.
Kairi laughed. "Let's beat them to it!"
"Okay, I want Travers Town and Atlantica for starters."
"Alright, I call…" She was interrupted by the younger kids.
"Are we just gonna let the guys get themselves killed?" Megan asked.
"Or, are we gonna go after them?" Izzy finished.
"Oh, I don't know…They might get mad…" Selena said, putting her hands behind her head.
"Yeah, we might get in trouble." Kairi added, catching on.
"That would be bad."
"No telling what they'd do to us."
"Torture us for weeks."
"With worry."
The two older girls looked at each other, with smiles, and the same plan.
"Sounds good!"
"Yeah let's go!" They said jumping to there feet running in the direction the boys had.
Izzy and Megan fell into step behind them, grinning at the joke. They laughed as they ran to find the guys.
When they reached where the Gummie ship should've been, they realized, it was gone!
"That was a bad idea. What if the whole planet fell apart on us? How would we get off this rock?"
"Well…It's not that bad… Now is the time to brainstorm." They all sat there, thinking about what they should do.
"Hey! We don't have to be there to help them. If we believe in them, that they'll bring Corey back, and that'll be okay, then they'll be fine." Kairi said, smiling.
"You're right. I just wish there was more we could do…" Selena whispered.
"Man! These heartless are killing us." Sora said, resting the keyblade on his shoulder.
"I'm worn out already!" Goofy added.
"Hey, what's this?" Sora asked, looking at a strange beam of…something.
"Is it smoke?" He put his hand into it. The scenery changed to Traverse Town.
"It's Traverse Town!"
"And there's Atlantica!" Donald added.
"Looks like a prison for worlds…" Seth murmured.
A door caught Sora's eye.
"What's this?"
Be careful…
"Huh? Donald, did you say something?"
"Nope."
"Strange…That voice was so familiar…"
Beyond, there is no light to protect you.
But don't be afraid. Your heart is the mightiest weapon of all.
"Here we go."
Remember, you are the only one who will open the door to light.
Slowly, Sora opened the door. A white beach stretched out before them. The waves pushed, and pulled onto, and off of shore.
"This is…" Sora trailed off, thinking of all the memories he had.
"This is our island!" He whispered in awe.
"You guys live here?" Seth asked, staring at him.
"Yeah."
"I wish we lived in place like this…no darkness to separate us…" Seth said.
"Hey, we'll get Corey back. Then we'll go pick up the girls and go home. We'll be laughing about this in a week." Riku grinned at him. Sora nodded, and put a hand on his shoulder. Donald and Goofy came up, and smiled at him. Pat just shrugged.
"Somehow, I doubt that. But let's go." He said head down.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Donald yelled. "No sad faces! Do what we do!"
"You gotta smile!" Sora added.
"Be silly!" Goofy encouraged. They all made the weirdest faces they could think of. The other three shook there heads, and laughed.
"That's it!" Sora gave him an even bigger smile.
"C'mon." They walked around a bit when suddenly, there was a voice.
"This world has been connected…" They turned, searching for the source of the voice.
"Tied to the darkness…" It continued.
"Soon to be completely eclipsed…"
"There is so very much to learn." Suddenly, the wave's peaceful pattern was disrupted.
"Look! The ocean's turning black!" Donald jumped, as the ground cracked. Up ahead, they could See Corey.
"Take a look at this tiny place." He said his back turned to them.
"To the heart seeking freedom, this island is a prison, surrounded by water." They stopped at about twenty yards.
"And so was this boy. That is why he chose darkness." Ansem turned towards them.
"Corey!" Seth yelled. We need you. Selena does, Megan, Pat, Izzy…Me…
"Don't bother, he can't hear you know. His heart belongs to the darkness from where it came from. All worlds come from darkness, and end in darkness. As it is with all hearts…"
"Dude! Cut to the chase!" Pat yelled. The six found themselves standing in darkness.
"Behold the endless abyss! Within lies the heart of all worlds- Kingdom Hearts!"
They stared at the nutcase, now attached to a huge heartless.
"Every light must fade every heart return to darkness!"
Selena's eyes jolted open. She could no longer feel Sora, Donald, Goofy, Pat, or Seth. She had been using magic to feel for them, since she had a strong connection with each of them. She couldn't track Riku, or Corey. Her heart sank.
"I lost them." She announced. The others looked at each other, worry in there eyes.
"This is bad…" Megan said, looking at the others.
"Pat…" Izzy said quietly.
Kairi also looked upset.
"We can't give up!" Selena said, knowing full well how they felt. But her heart couldn't handle it. It wouldn't.
"There must be something…Blade!" Selena closed her eyes in concentration. The others grouped around her. Her eyes opened.
"Help me!" She commanded. Kairi put her hand on Selena's shoulder, and looked down at her. Selena looked up at her, they both nodded.
Izzy and Megan did the same. Selena closed her eyes, and continued.
"Blade…Sora…Seth…"
"And now your hearts will return to the darkness from whence they came!" Ansem yelled, laughing loudly. It's over… Seth thought.
"You're wrong! That's not the hearts true essence at all!" Sora yelled. Seth looked up at him.
"The heart may be weak, and it may even give in. But I've learned…That deep down, there's a light that never goes out! Without a doubt, Kingdom Hearts…is LIGHT!"
There was a blinding light. After, a scream the light disappeared, and Ansem was gone.
"That's what's really in everybody's heart. I know it." Sora said.
"Let's close the door!" Pat yelled. They all pushed, but it wouldn't budge.
"It won't move!" Sora yelled, getting a little discouraged.
"Don't give up!" Corey called from the other side of the door.
"Corey!" Seth yelled. He nodded to Riku, and ran inside the door. Riku followed.
"We can do it, together!" Seth said.
"You can't leave me behind!" Pat yelled, running after them.
"Look at the heartless!" Donald yelled. As he said it, King Mickey destroyed it.
"You're Majesty!" Goofy yelled.
"Now Sora! Let's close this door." Mickey yelled.
"But what will happen to the rest of you?"
"Don't worry; they're will always be a door to light."
"Hey Sora!" Riku called. Take care of Kairi."
"And watch out for Selena." Corey said. "And tell her I'm sorry."
"And Megan." Seth added.
"And Izzy." Pat said, grinning. "In short, take care of the girls."
"Uhh…Right. Let's close this door." Sora said, pulling the keyblade over his head, and locked the door. Suddenly Sora saw Kairi. He ran over to her.
"Kairi!" She looked up at him.
"Sora!" The little piece of sand she was standing on moved. Sora caught her, before she fell.
"Kairi! I'm going to keep looking for Riku. He's with…"
"I know. Selena told us. She used Blade as her eyes when she lost you boys. Go find him, and bring him home… oh, and Sora?"
"Yeah?"
"She really likes you." She said, loosing her grip on his hand.
When Selena saw Sora coming up with only, Donald, Goofy, and Blade, her heart sank.
"Sora! Kairi dis…" she stopped short at his sad expression.
"What's a matter?" She asked concern in her face.
"Destiny Island is whole again, Kairi's safe, and the door to darkness shut. The bad news, Corey, Seth, Riku, Patrick, and the king were on the other side when I closed it." He sighed.
"I knew that. Sora, I'm going to look too. And don't even try to stop me." Selena said, giving him a playfully stern look.
"What about us?" Izzy asked. "Our powers are gone." She added. Megan nodded. It was then that Selena noticed they're clothes were normal again. The only thing that hadn't changed was there hair, which was still white.
"I think it would be best if you stayed with someone…" Selena said, thoughtfully.
"How about Jack, in Halloween Town?" Megan asked, hopefully.
"I don't see why not. Shall we ask him?" Selena smiled.
"Yes!" They chorused.
"Let's go then."
Izzy and Megan had been dropped off, and now it was just the five of them. They walked on a dirt road, the sun beating down on them, physically, and mentally. They all sighed. Suddenly they spotted a yellow dog.
"Pluto!" Donald yelled.
"Gosh, what's that in his mouth?" Goofy asked.
"That's the king's seal!" Donald exclaimed. Pluto looked up at them, and ran.
"Hey, Wait!" Sora yelled, running after him. Donald and Goofy followed. Selena shook her head, and looked at Blade, who was resting on her shoulder.
"Shall we?" She asked him.
"We shall!" He said in his strange little voice.
"Hey wait up!" Selena called, running after them.
