Disclaimer: Um...yeah I don't own anything except Tiffany
Malificent was breathing hard. She had stopped to catch her breath because she was still in pain because of Apocra's attck. Riku appeared by her side and then asked, "do you need some help?".
"Riku" ,cried Sora. "Is that?" asked Donald. "Yes a keyblade. "But unlike Sora and Kairi's this keyblade unlocks people's hearts. Allow me to demonstrate. Behold" ,said Riku stabbing Malificent in the heart. "Wha--",said Malificent. "Now open your heart, surrender it to darkness. Become darkness itself" ,said Riku. Then he disappeared. "This is it. This power. Darkness...the true darkness" ,said Malificent.
Then she turned into a dragon. They quickly defeated the dragon(sorry I didn't feel like typing a fight scene but this will be the last time I do that. I promise). The dragon roared then started melting. "How ironic. She was just another puppet after all" ,said Riku. "What" ,said Donald. "The heartless were using Malificent from the beginning she had fell to see that the darkness in her was eating her away. A fitting in for such a fool" ,said Riku stepping in Malificent's remainings. Then he went into a portal and disappeared.
"So...Kairi does that answer your question", asked Apocra. "What question", said Kairi. "I do believe Riku is the fourth keyblade master", said Apocra. "Well then does that mean Tiffany really is dead then", said Kairi. Then she bust out in tears again. Sora glared at Apocra. Apocra just shrugged. Sora calmed Kairi down telling her Tiffany wasn't dead. Then they quickly followed Riku into the portal. They then walked into the grand hall. They quickly ran up the stairs to find Tiffany. Sora ran up to Tiffany. Goofy and Kairi tried but only Donald, Apocra and Sora got through. "Tiffany. Tiffany. Open your eyes" ,said Sora shaking her. "Its no use" ,said Riku.
Sora looked up to see Riku. "That girl has lost her heart. She cannot wake up" ,said Riku. "What. You...You're not Riku" ,said Sora. "The keyhole cannot be completed so long as the princess of heart still sleeps" ,said Riku. "The princess...Tiffany's a princess?" ,said Sora looking at Tiffany. "Yes and without her power the keyhole will remain incomplete. It is time she awakened" ,said Riku.
"Whoever you are let Riku go. Give him back his heart" ,said Sora. "But first you must give the princess back her heart" ,said Riku pointing his blade at him. Sora then grabbed his heart and fell on one knee. "Sora" ,said Donald. "Sora, are you okay", said Apocra. "What" ,said Sora. "Don't you see it yet. The princess' heart is responding. It has been there ever since I took this boy's heart. Now Tiffany's heart rests within" ,said Riku.
"Tiffany's inside of me?" ,said Sora clutching his heart. "I know all there is to know" ,said Riku. "Who are you" ,said Apocra. "It is I Ansem the seeker of darkness" ,said Riku walking over to Sora, Apocra, and Donald. Donald and Apocra then ran over to Riku to hit him, but Riku/Ansem back hand slapped them. "So I shall release you now princess. Complete the keyhole with your power. Open the door lead me into everlasting darkness" ,said Riku/Ansem pulling his weapon almost down on Sora when Kairi called out Sora's name. Sora blocked it just in time.
He pushed Ansem/Riku and said, "forget it. There's no way your taking my sister's heart. Then Sora fought him one-one. Ansem/Riku quickly jumped in the air and summoned black balls of darkness and threw them at Sora. Sora dodged it and jumped in the air and threw his keyblade at Ansem/Riku slashing him across the chest. Ansem/Riku stopped and held his chest. "Riku?" ,said Sora. Riku/Ansem disappeared. "Sora, Kairi, Apocra look" ,said Donald pointing to the keyhole. "The keyhole" ,said Goofy.
Apocra, Kairi, and Sora pointed their keyblades at the keyhole. Nothing happened. "It won't work. The keyhole's not finished yet" ,said Apocra. "What can we do?" ,asked Kairi. "Maybe we gotta wake up Tiffany" ,said Donald. "I think you're right. If we can free her heart" ,said Sora. "But Ansem said it was inside Riku said Goofy. "Then he said Riku gave it to Sora" ,said Apocra. Sora ignored them all.
"But how can we free her heart" ,asked Donald. Sora starred at Riku's keyblade and said, "a keyblade that unlocks people's hearts. I wonder". "Sora?" ,said Goofy. Sora walked over to Riku keyblade and picked it up. "Sora hold on" ,said Apocra. "No wait" ,said Donald. Sora stared at them then smiled a big smile then stabbed himself in the heart with the black keyblade. Then six hearts appeared out of the keyblade then they slowly returned to the princess of hearts on by one. Then a big heart came and it went into Tiffany. She suddenly opened her emerald eyes.
"Sora... Sora" ,said Kairi running after him. Tiffany slowly got up. She saw Sora and ran to him and screamed, "Sora". When Tiffany got to him he disappeared. "Sora. Come back Sora" ,screamed Apocra. "Sora are you really gone" ,said Kairi crying. "No my brother is not gone. He can't be. I won't let him go" ,said Tiffany with tears in her eyes.
"So you have awakened at last princess. The keyhole is now complete. You have served your purpose. But now its over" ,said Ansem walking over to Tiffany. "Don't make another move" ,said Donald. Him and Goofy talking out their weapons to protect girls. They also took out their weapons. "Do you think we can stop him" ,asked Goofy. "I don't know" ,replied Donald. Ansem then stopped and grunted in pain and said, "impossible". Riku then appeared like a ghost and said, "no. You won't use me for this". "Riku" ,said Tiffany surprised. "You've got to run the heartless are coming" ,said Riku.
Then they were all surrounded by heartless. Tiffany then looked at Riku and nodded. Then her,Kairi,Donald, Apocra and Goofy ran out of the castle chapel. "What about the keyhole" ,said Goofy. "Lets just get out of here" ,said Donald. They then ran to the main entrance. "Kairi...Tiffany...Apocra hurry" ,said Goofy. "We can't just leave Sora and Riku behind" ,said Kairi. "We can't stay here" ,said Donald. "A heartless is after us" ,said Goofy. We're also three of the keyblade masters. I think one heartless can be stopped said Apocra. But still they caught up with Donald and Goofy. "I'll take care of that heartless" ,said Donald. Donald hit the heartless a couple of times. "Confound heartless get will ya" ,said Donald. The heartless looked up at Tiffany. "Sora? Is that you" ,asked Tiffany. "Uh oh" ,said Apocra. They were surround by heartless.
"This time I'll protect you big bro" ,said Tiffany staying close to that heartless. All the heartless jumped on Tiffany. She turned around and hugged the heartless. "Tiffany" ,screamed Donald. There was a light then all the heartless disappeared. And then there stood Sora hugging Tiffany. "Tiffany thank you" ,said Sora hugging her. "Sora" ,said Tiffany. "Sora" ,said Kairi,Donald, Apocra, and Goofy. Then some more heartless appeared.
Then there was a roar. They all turned around to see the beast. "Go now" ,roared the Beast. "Come with us" ,said Sora. "I told you before,I'm not leaving without Belle. Now go. The heartless are coming" ,said Beast. "All right. Lets get out of here" ,said Sora. They then all ran back to the ship and headed towards Transverse town. When they got there they found Leon. "Tell me what happened" ,said Leon. Sora quickly explained all what happened. "So the darkness is flowing out of the keyhole" ,said Leon. "No wonder there are more and more heartless everywhere" ,said Yuffie. "The only way to stop them is..." ,said Aerith. "Seal the keyhole right" ,said Kairi. "Maybe. But no one knows what will happen once its sealed" ,said Leon. "Well we can't just stay here. We have to do something. My boyfriend's back there" ,yelled Tiffany.
Leon flinched at the word boyfriend, but said "You have one more friend to worry about. Riku's keyblade must have been born of the captive princess' hearts. Just like that keyhole you saw.
Of course without Tiffany's heart, it reamained incomplete. Once that keyblade was destroyed the princess' heart should have been freed. Don't worry guys. If anyone can save Riku you guys can" ,said Leon. "Leon" ,said Kairi. "Yes" ,said Leon. "Is Riku the fourth keyblade master?" ,said Kairi. "Yes he is" ,said Leon. "I'm going for a walk" ,said Tiffany angrily. "I'll go too" ,said Donald. "No you just stay there" ,said Tiffany leaving. Donald got a death glare from Leon and Sora. "Umm Leon I know why Sora gave me a death glare but why did you" ,asked Donald. "Thats because Leon's her big brother" said Apocra. Everybody looked at Apocra. "How did you know", said Leon. "Because I used to know Tiffany when I was little. We were the bestest friends, but then me and my family moved. And before we left she gave me this locket. Saying she found it and it reminded her of me and that she hopes that it will help me remember her by", said Apocra. "How come you didn't tell us you knew her" ,said Sora. "I didn't know it was the same Tiffany" ,said Apocra.
Everyone was silent then Leon spoke. "She's right. Tiffany is my little sister" ,said Leon. "Tiffany is from Hallow Bastin and we lost her when the heartless attacked" ,said Yuffie. "So thats why you flinched when Tiffany said boyfriend" ,said Kairi. They laughed except for Leon. "Go find Cid he'll get you to Hallow Bastin" ,said Aerith. "Thanks" ,said Apocra. Then him and the others went out. Then they found Cid. "Cid, I need to go back to Hallow Bastin" ,asked Sora. "I don't think I can let you guys do that. The heartless there are multiplying by the minute. They'd eat you ship up" ,explained Cid. "Then what can we do?" ,asked Kairi. "Simple. Go around'em instead of through. Install a new navigation gummi and take a new route" ,said Cid.
"A new gummi from where" ,asked Sora. "The secret waterway. When I came here nine years ago, I stored it there in case I needed it. Never thought a bunch of kids would be one to use it" ,said Cid. Sora and the others walked to the waterway.
They found Tiffany there. She looked at them and said, "look at the strange mural". "Thats it" ,cried Sora. He ran to the mural to see a navigation gummi. He went back to girls and said, "lets go back and join the others. We should rest up". The girls nodded. "A light at the end of the tunnel" ,said Kairi. "Oh yeah your grandmother's story right" ,said Sora. "Thats right. We all were together you,me,Tiffany,and Riku", said Kairi. "You knows whats funny, Tiffany I looked everywhere for you to tell you I'm sorry but you were with me all along" ,said Sora. "I was with Riku first remember. My heart went to him first. Then Riku sent it to you. because I think somehow he knew that his heart would have been taken" ,said Tiffany.
"You guys are going to be together again soon" ,said Apocra. "First we need to find Riku to do that" ,said Tiffany. "You'll think it'll ever be the same again between all of us. Riku lost his..." ,said Kairi. "No we'll get it back just like we got mine and Sora's back" ,said Tiffany. "When I turned into a heartless you guys saved me remember. I was lost in the darkness. And I couldn't find my way out. As I stumbled through the dark.
I started forgetting things my friends,who I was. The darkness almost swallowed me. But then I heard a voice. It was you guys voice including Riku's. You guys brought me back" ,said Sora. "We couldn't just forget about you, Sora" ,said Apocra. "Thats it. All of our hearts are connected. Yours,mine,Tiffany's,and Riku's and even Apocra's. And the light from all of our hearts broke through the darkness that controlled me and Riku. I thinks thats what saved us" ,said Sora. "No matter how deep the darkness a light always shines within" ,said Tiffany. "I guess its more than just a fairy tale" ,said Sora. Tiffany then looked at Apocra and said, "Its good to see you again". Apocra smiled and said, "Likewise". Then she looked at Tiffany suprised and confused and said, "It was you! The voice in my head was you. But how?".
Tiffany smiled then replied, "Sora already explained that to you. Our hearts are connected. Because of friendship or because of the keyblades. Whatever reason but I saw everything you guys did. Helping Aladdin, getting swallowed by a whale, learning how to fly, and meeting Apocra. I saw everything with Riku too. I saw that he was tricked into going into the darkness, cause he was trying to rescue me, but now I say I should return the favor". Then there was silence. "Well lets go and save Riku" ,said Tiffany. "You can't go" ,said Sora. "Why can't she go?" ,said Kairi. "Because its way to dangerous" ,said Sora. "Come on Sora let her go we made it this far by sticking together" ,said Apocra. "Yeah you know you guys can't do it without me" ,said Tiffany.
"Okay you win" ,said Sora. "Oh and Sora don't you have something to say to her" ,said Kairi. "Oh yeah. Tiffany I'm sorry" ,said Sora. "Appolgy accepted. Now lets go save Riku" ,said Tiffany smiling. They went back to Cid. He fixed up there ship and said, "all set you can get going anytime". "Lets go" ,said Donald.
They went in the gummi ship and headed off to Hallow Bastin. Sora and the others landed to see Beast. "Where's Belle?" ,asked Sora. "Still in the castle" ,replied Beast. "Against her will?" ,said Goofy. "No I think she stayed for a reason. The other princess are inside as well" ,said Beast. "I wonder why" ,said Kairi. "Lets go ask them" ,said Apocra. "Who's cares about those old fashion princess we're here to find Riku" ,said Tiffany annoyed.
"You know your one of those old fashion princess" ,said Apocra. Tiffany blushed. "How about we ask them if they know where Riku is" ,said Sora. "Fair enough" ,said Tiffany. "You may need my strenght I'll go with you" ,said Beast. "Ok lets go" ,said Goofy. They then headed to the library where they found Belle. "Belle" ,said Beast happily. Then he walked to her and hugged her. "You've come to seal the keyhole, right?" ,said Belle. "No we came here to save Riku" ,said Tiffany. "Yes we are here to seal the keyhole" ,said Sora nudging Tiffany with his elbow.
"Please be careful. The darkness is raging deep inside. We've been holding it back, but we can't hold out much longer" ,said Belle. "We'll take care of it" ,said Sora. They then went to the castle chapel to find the rest of the princesses. "Keyblade masters please hurry. Darkness is pouring from the keyhole" ,said Jasmine.
"Its all we can do just to hold back the darkness" ,said Alice. "I don't know how long we can manage even that" ,said Snow White. "Don't worry guys were on our way" ,said Sora. They went to the next group of princess. "We've been waiting for you keyblade masters" ,said Cinderalla. "Where's Ansem?" ,asked Kairi. "And Riku" ,added Tiffany. "Gone" ,said Cinderalla. "When the keyhole appeared darkness poured out of it. It swallowed Ansem and he disappeared" ,said Aurora. "Though Ansem is gone the flood of darkness hasn't stopped. We're working together to hold it back. I do believe we need some more help said Cinderalla looking at Tiffany.
Tiffany shook her head, "If wasn't in danger I'll stay but he is and I love him to much lose him". "Okay we understand ,but I cannot forget the look on Ansem's face. As the darkness engulfed him, he was smiling" ,said Aurora. They then went to the grand hall. They went upstairs to find the keyhole. "How are we suppose to lock it?" ,asked Apocra. "I think we need to go inside" ,said Goofy. They went inside the keyhole, where they found a Bethmoth. "What the hell is that thing" ,said Kairi. Tiffany looked at Kairi.
"When did you start cussing" ,said Tiffany. Kairi was fend to answer when she was slung into the by the Bethmoth's hand. Kairi got up brushed herself off then said, "Since shit like that started happening". Then she jumped on the bethmoth's back and started slashing at the horn on its forehead. Apocra then jumped on its' back as well and started helping Kairi with the horn. Tiffany looked at Sora and said, "This reminds me of our isand" "How so" ,said Sora dodging a swipe of the monster's paw. "Of you and Riku fighting" ,said Tiffany then jumped on the monster's back and threw her keyblade at his horn. Sora smiled blocked the purple balls that the monster summoned. He then jumped up on its back and started doing fire spells at his horn. Donald then joined him.
Goofy was in front of the beast trying to distract him. After awhile of the slashes and fire spells on his horn he was defeated. Apocra, Sora ,Tiffany, and Kairi slowly walked toward the keyhole with their keyblades in their hands. Then a light came from there keyblades and locked the keyhole. A voice then said, "Guys you did it". They walked out the keyhole to see Leon,Yuffie, and Aerith. "What are you guys doing here?" ,said Kairi. "This is our childhood home" ,said Aerith. "So this is where I came from" ,said Tiffany looking around the castle. They all looked at her. "You guys don't think that I overheard your conversation about me" ,said Tiffany.
"So you know?" ,said Sora sadly. "Yes I know Leon's my real brother" ,said Tiffany staring at Leon who was leaning on a wall with his eyes closed. "Why did you guys come here" ,said Apocra. "We wanted to see our home again" ,said Aerith.
"Its in worse shape than I feared. It used to be so peaceful" ,said Leon. "Can you tell us the story" ,said Sora. "The story of what?" ,said Yuffie. "How the heartless attacked" ,said Sora. "Leon who was sixteen and Tiffany who was five were playing in the library. 'Squall I love you' ,said Tiffany. 'I love you too' ,said Leon. 'Come on lets go play in the chapel big brother' ,said Tiffany pulling his pants leg. Then me, Yuffie, Cid and a blonde haired man named Cloud came running in there. 'Whats wrong' ,said Leon confused. 'These black things are taking people's hearts' ,said Yuffie. 'I wanna see the things' ,said Tiffany. 'No you can't' ,said Leon picking up Tiffany in his arms and running. We then ran into more heartless. 'Big brother I'm scared' ,said Tiffany hugging Leon tightly. 'Don't worry I won't let anything get you. I promise' ,whispered Leon kissing her on her forehead. 'You promise?' ,said Tiffany in a little baby voice. 'Promise' ,said Leon. 'Let me take the child' ,said a voice. We looked and saw Ansem. 'Mr. Awsem you're okay' ,said Tiffany happily.
'Give me the child I'll take her to safety' ,said Ansem. 'I don't know' ,said Leon looking at the cute little blonde with green eyes in his arms. 'Squall give him Tiffany' ,said Cloud. 'Here. Protect her for me' ,said Leon giving Tiffany to him. 'Thank you' ,said Ansem evily then he disappeared in darkness. 'No Tiffany' ,said Leon running to the place where Ansem was. 'Come on Leon there's nothing we can do for her', Yuffie said. And thats the last we saw of Tiffany and our world until now" ,said Aerith. "So he kidnapped her?" ,said Apocra. "I really don't know but I haven't liked him since" ,said Yuffie.
Leon was silent. "Wait I remember" ,said Tiffany all of sudden. They all looked at her. "He took me to Malficent and said, 'is this one of them'. Ansem gave me to Malificent. I was crying and kept saying, 'big brother help me'. Malificent laughed and said, 'he can't help you now'. Then Ansem repeated his question. 'Yes she is' ,said Malificent. She gave me back to Ansem and then took out her staff and said, 'now it is time for you to sleep until you are needed Princess'. Then my keyblade appeared and transported me to Destiny Island with my memory lost the only thing I remembered was my name" ,said Tiffany. "We have to stop Ansem" ,said Sora. "If we defeat Ansem all should be restored. Including you guys island" ,said Aerith. "Really?" said Kairi. Aerith nodded. "But it also means goodbye" ,said Yuffie sadly.
"Once the worlds are restored they'll all be seperated again" ,said Aerith. "We'll visit you in the gummi ships" ,said Kairi. "It won't work. The walls will be restored also" ,said Yuffie. "But where will I go?", asked Tiffany confused. "Probably the place where you spent most of your life which probably be Destiny Island" ,said Leon. "No I can't go back there I just got back my memories about my old home, my real big brother, my childhood best friend. I can't just go back to Destiny Island. Not now" ,said Tiffany crying. "Even though we may never meet again, we'll never forget each other" ,said Leon. "Besides I don't think I'll ever be able to forget Sora" ,said Yuffie. "Hey" ,said Sora insulted. "Guys...we need to hurry up and defeat Ansem" ,said Goofy. "And find the king" ,added Donald. "They're right" ,said Apocra. "Well then you guys need to get to it" ,said Aerith smiling.
"Right" ,said Sora. "You guys go head I'll catch up" ,said Tiffany. Sora nodded, then him and the others ran towards where the princesses were. There was silence. Then Tiffany hugged Aerith and Yuffie. Then she turned to Leon. "So how do you like you're baby sister now" ,she said. Leon opened his eyes and looked at Tiffany and smiled, "Well I can see she's not a baby anymore. Tiffany ran up to Leon and hugged him. Aerith looked at Yuffie and said, "I think they need some time alone". Yuffie nodded. Then her and Aerith went to go wait on the gummi ship. "You know I missed you right" ,said Leon still hugging Tiffany.
"The same. Even though I didn't remember you I still knew that I had a real big brother somewhere out there" ,said Tiffany. They let go of each other. Then there was silence. Leon then broke it by saying, "I'm sorry". "For what" ,said Tiffany confused. "It was my fault you were kidnapped. Mother told me about you being a special little kid. That I had to protect you when we were older. She told me about a prophecy that a witch told her, when she was pregnant with you. It was the prophecy of the keyblades. It said there were four main keyblade masters. Two boys and two girls.
One of the girls who was the probably the most powerful, because she was both a keyblade master and a princess of pure hearts. The second poweful one was the lover of the keyblade master with the purest heart. He was second because of his loyalty for the keyblade master with the purest of heart. He would even go to the side of darkness to protect her. The third one and fourth ones were the same in power because of there closeness between them and the powerful keyblade master. Then there was the forbidden fifth keyblade master who was the strongest and the weakest of them all.
She was to come if something was to happen to any of the four keyblade masters. So you see I knew all of this was going to happen and I did nothing about it", said Leon sadly. Tiffany hugged Leon again. "None of this is your fault it was a prophecy it was suppose to happen. Nothing you could do would have stopped it" ,she said. You're right. I think its time for you to go back with the others now. You have a job to do" ,said Leon doing one of his rare smiles. "You're right. You know I love you right, Squall" ,said Tiffany getting ready to walk away. Leon chuckled, "Its Leon now and I know. And I hope you know I love you too, Tiffany". Tiffany smiled, "I do. And I will see you again. I promise". "I know you will, now go back to the others" ,said Leon. Tiffany waved then started running to where the other were.
A/N Ha a brother-sister moment between Leon and Tiffany. Sadly this fic is almost over. But I'm about to start on a new fic called Before Kingdom Hearts. Its about Leon, Cloud, Cid, Aerith, Tiffany,Yuffie, and maybe Apocra. I don't know she's not really my character. I'll have to ask to borrow her. Well let me go start to write the next chapter. Please review
