Kingdom Come 18
There was nothing but darkness. Total and complete darkness. Sora was not sure he still existed. Could he have made the wrong choice? But if he did, then he would not be wherever he was. He had listened to his heart and he chose correctly. He knew it.
A light appeared. Dim at first but grew brighter and brighter. Sora could then see but all he saw was darkness around him. But then another light appeared. This one gave shape to a door, a solid door, different from the one that brought him here. It was a large white door. He had seen the door before. It was the door to Kingdom Hearts. He made his way toward the door and reached for the handle.
Sora… a voice said in his head. Sora shook. Though he had never heard the voice before, he knew who it belonged to. Sargeras. Sora, become mine.
I will never join you. Sora said in his head. He could nearly see Sargeras as if he was right in front of him. He was truly a sight to behold, a mammoth figure surrounded in flame.
I can give you power Sora, more than you ever believed.
No, all you want to do is destroy everything. You killed my friends.
Did I? or was it the one called Sid that led you all to destruction?
I doesn't matter, no matter what I will stop you. He reached for the handle again.
Sora… A different voice said in his head. It was not Sargeras, but another mutual enemy. It was the voice of Yawgmoth. I know what you wish Sora. I know that you want your friends back.
You can bring them back? He was not interested in power, the only thing Sora wanted was his friends back.
I can. An image appeared to Sora, of not only Riku and Kairi back alive and completely human, but everyone else he had ever met. All were smiling and laughing, as if nothing bad could ever happen to them. I can make everything better for you Sora. I offered Sid the same thing, to bring everything he lost back. I can make your wishes come true.
Sora came to his senses. No, you will never get me to join you.
Sora, do not believe the lies of Yawgmoth. Sargeras said. Join me, and with your power you can use your own power to bring your friends back to life.
Don't be a fool Sora. The voice of Yawgmoth said. I can make you perfect, make you whole.
I won't listen to anymore of your lies. Sora said, nearly yelling. All you two want are to destroy and control everything. You want to plunge everything into darkness. You are no better than the Heartless. You say you want to help, but in the end your promises are empty.
Both voices laugh and both said at seemingly the same time You understand so little. You understand nothing.
Stop saying that! Now Sora was yelling. Just because I'm a kid, doesn't mean I know nothing. I have learned so many things that I didn't know before, but now I do know. I know the true power that lies within everything, the light within all. My friends are my light, even if they may be gone. I will not let them down. None of my friends! I will never join either of you, you have no control over me, so stop trying to change my mind. You will never defeat me, but I will defeat you!
A bright light erupted from Sora. The voices were burned away as they shouted toward Sora. They had wanted to use him but they failed. Sora knew that he had won and defeated the two gods. He reached for the door handle once more and pulled it open. He closed his eyes and walked through the door.
