Kingdom Come 19

Sora entered Kingdom Hearts and understood. He had spent his entire time as a Keyblade Master protecting it from harm, but now he understood why it was so sort after. He had never truly entered it before and now everything was changed.

He understood why the Heartless of Xehanort had tried to reach it and use its power to plunge everything in darkness. He understood the power it could have given the Nobodies, making them more complete than even they could have imagined. He understood the power it gave and the power it could of given the Yawgmoth and Sargeras. He understood Kingdom Heart's power, but he knew he only understood a small fraction of its true power.

He became one with Kingdom Hearts. Light and darkness surrounded him at the same time. He felt pulled in each direction but stayed in the path toward the light, following his own path. Voices called out to him all unfamiliar to him, trying to make him use it for his own use.

He saw everything he could do. In his mind's eye, he saw himself wiping out the Phyrexians and Burning Legion, not leaving anything behind. He saw everyone bowing before him, seeing him as their savior. He could make everything better, make things as they should. He could eradicate the darkness once and for all.

But he felt, in his heart, that it was wrong. His heart called out to him telling him it was wrong. Slowly he came to his senses and realized what he had almost done. He almost used the power for his own benefit, even though it seemed that it was for the good of everyone. He knew if he had started down that path it would only lead to destruction.

But then he did not know what to do. He did not wish to destroy anything, not anymore. There had been too much death already. He did not want that anymore. All he wanted was no more death, no more destruction. But he did not know how to do that.

Once more, he listened to his heart and was told what he wanted.

He wanted his friends back. He wanted to go back to the island and play with them. He wanted things to be back the way it had been. It all seemed like a distant memory, an impossible feat, but that was what he wanted. He wanted everything back the way it was.

He saw himself back on the beach with Riku and Kairi. He saw them running and laughing. He saw his parents waiting for him to come back home. His gaze fell to other worlds. He saw Radiant Garden and Leon, Cid, Yuffie and the rest. He saw Aladdin and Jasmine, happy together once more. He saw Inuyasha back with his friends, fighting Naraku. He saw Luke back in his world helping protect his world. He saw Twilight Town and saw Hayner, Pence, and Oletter, and everyone else enjoying themselves. He saw all his friends. He saw everything at peace. He saw himself, happy. That was all he wanted. He wanted to be happy. He wanted everything back the way it was.

A bright light surrounded him and then went out.

He woke up on Destin Islands. He was lying on the beach. Kairi was the first person he saw. He jumped in surprise, but then they both laughed. He sat up and Riku waved them over. They joined up and Kairi said something and they all laughed. Sora then turned and looked out into the sunset. He felt there was something he forgot, but could not remember.

"Is everything alright Sora?" Kairi asked.

Sora gazed at the sunset for a moment more. It was so peaceful, so very warm. He smiled, happy to be here with his friends. Everything was as it should be. He turned to Kairi and shook his head. "No, everything is perfect." He said smiling at his friends. "Just perfect."

"The power of Kingdom Hearts is magnificent," Kaj said to the three Fates.

"Yes, it is." The tallest of the three agreed.

"And no one else remembers what has transpired?"

"No, because those events have been erased, and it is impossible for anyone to remember them." The Fate of the past said. "We knew Sora would make the right choice in the end."
"We know everything." The Fate of the Future said.

"I'm sure you do." Kaj agreed.

"Never again will these events transpire," The fate of the present said. "Though Sora may not realize it, he has changed history. The Burning Legion and the Phyrexians will never encounter each other and never will they learn of Kingdom Hearts again. It is set."

"Will you make sure of that?" Kaj said.

"Yes, of course we will, planeswalker," The Fate of the present said again. "You, of all others, should know that."

"I just wanted to make sure." Kaj said. "Thank you Fates for choosing me to retain this information."

"We had agreed on that long ago," The tallest one said.

"Where will you go now planeswalker?" The Fate of the past said.

"Where I am needed," Kaj said. "There are many other beings that need protecting. And maybe I'll find Sid along the way."

"Farewell, planeswalker." The Fate of the present said. Kaj bowed his head slightly and vanished.

Everything was as it should be, Kaj knew. And he had helped make it so. So much had changed though, he was not sure how much remained as he used to know, He was not even sure Sid existed anymore but he had to try. He was once his friend as well and if he learned anything from Sora, it was the value of his friends. But he also knew that just because the Phyrexians and Burning Legion may have forgotten all that had occurred, but that did not mean they would not one day invade Sora's home. If that ever occurred again, he would help Sora once more. But that day, if it ever occurred, was far off, for now there was only the present. And presently everything was perfect.

End

Author's Note:
I may end up changing the end. It's a bit too fluffy for my taste, though maybe if people review I can get some feedback on it…hint hint Anyway, I hope everyone enjoyed the story. I personally enjoyed writing it, and I hope you all enjoyed reading it. I am probably not going to make a sequel to this. Once again, hope you enjoyed the story and please review. 
