Anyway, read and review please!

Chapter 12: The Final Battle

I stood there with Sora, Riku, Donald, Goofy, and King Mickey in the Altar of Naught. Sora, Riku, and King Mickey stepped up towards the door that would lead us to Kingdom Hearts, where Xemnas was waiting for Sora to confront him. The three raised their keyblades. A ray of light shot out of each of them. The door was finally opened up.

" Get ready Xemnas, it all ends here!" Sora shouted. Sora turned around and faced Donald, Goofy, and I." Kairi, you stay here with Donald and Goofy while Riku, the king, and I take care of this." Sora started to walk towards the door. No way! I wasn't going to lose him again! I ran up to him and grabbed him by the hand.

" No. You're not going in there without me."

" Kairi, I can't let you get hurt!" I knew that Sora was getting frustrated, but I didn't care at the moment.

" I won't!" I yelled. I then calmed down as a tear came rolling down my cheek. I had never yelled at Sora like that before. " I'm sorry. It's just…I don't want to lose you again." I hugged him.

" Kairi, don't you remember what you said to me a year ago?" Sora asked as he lifted my chin up. " No matter where you go, I'm always with you."

" Oh!" I just remembered that's what I said when I gave Sora my lucky charm.

Flashback

" Take this. It's my lucky charm. Be sure to bring it back to me." I said.

" Don't worry. I will." Sora grinned.

" Promise?"

" Promise."

" Don't ever forget. Wherever you go, I'm always with you." That was the last thing I said to Sora before he went off to face Ansem.

End of Flashback

" That's right. The day I gave you my lucky charm." I smiled.

" Don't worry Kairi, I always with you." He tried to convince me to stay behind. " You're not going to stay are you?"

" Nope. This time, I'm going to be in your way. This time, whenever one of us goes, we all go." I said.

" Okay, you win." Sora surrendered.

" Ahem." Riku coughed. I totally forgot that Riku and the others were there too.

" Okay. Sorry, Riku." I giggled. " So, are we in this together?" I held out my hand.

" Till the end." Sora took it.

All six of us walked up and through the door. Inside of the door, there was this HUGE castle-like thing floating in the air. There were also buildings everywhere. It looked like the city that is near the entrance to the Organization castle. Xemnas was on top of the castle. He raised his hand and directed a building towards us. We all ran towards the door again. The building crashed down on the ground and caused it to shake. We all fell onto the ground, but Mickey and I were on the other side of the door! I stood up quickly and tried to open it when the door was closed. It was no use! Sora and Riku were in there! I started to bang on the door uncontrollably. After what seemed forever, Mickey finally calmed me down. I still upset though. Mickey started to talk to me.

" Don't worry, Kairi. Sora, Riku, Donald, and Goofy will be back and then we'll all be able to return home where we belong." Mickey said.

" Are you sure? Sometimes, Sora has times where he just can't go on. And Riku, well, he's always relied on darkness to fight, but now he can't rely on it to fight for him." I asked with concern.

" I'm certain. I'm sure that if Riku trusts in the light in his heart, then he'll come through just fine. And when Sora is through with his end of the fight, then you two are going to have one satisfied life together. You can go back to the island with him, there'll be no more Heartless, and no more Nobodies, so I guess as a princess, you'll get your happily ever after anyway."

" Thanks, Your Majesty." I grinned.

" Aw, no need to call me that." Mickey laughed.

" Fair enough, Mickey." At that moment, a portal appeared in front of me. Sora, Riku, Donald, and Goofy stepped through it.

" We…did it." Riku came back panting.

" Really?" I asked.

" Yeah. Xemnas is gone. We can go home now." Sora was also panting.

" Gosh. You all did great!" Mickey congratulated them.

" Oh boy!" Donald cheered.

" We can go home!" Goofy jumped up and down.

" Riku, you're coming back with Kairi and I, right?" Sora asked Riku.

" I had given into the darkness."

" Riku?" I asked.

" How am I gonna face everyone?"

" Like this." Sora then made a weird face. Riku laughed and eventually we all did.

" So, how're we gonna get home?" I asked.

" I'll open a path." Riku held up his hand, but nothing happened.

" You don't belong in the dark realm anymore, Riku." Mickey said.

" Then how do we get out of here, Your Majesty?" Donald asked.

I turned around and saw Namine. Sora turned around too. We gasped as she turned around and opened a portal. She disappeared as Mickey and Donald ran towards the portal. Pluto came running up to Mickey and then into the portal. Goofy ran in and then Mickey. Donald called for us to hurry up. Namine appeared again. Sora and I slowly walked up to her. I was so grateful for how she helped me out of the dungeon and for helping me find Riku.

" Thank you, Namine."

" Sure." Namine looked at Sora. " See, Roxas? We meet again like we promised."

" Huh?" Sora asked.

" You said we'd meet again, but when we did, we might not recognize each other." I heard the voice of Roxas again! As I did, a spirit came out of Sora.

" I did, didn't I?'

" But I knew you." Roxas said.

" Hmm, it's strange."

" I think I understand now. I see myself the way you remember me and you see yourself the way I remember you."

" I always thought Nobodies were doomed to fade back into darkness." Namine said.

" Yeah, but you and I didn't. We got to meet our original selves." Roxas said.

" So, we can be together again."

" Yeah. Anytime Sora and Kairi are together." Roxas walked over and stood by Namine.

" We'll be together everyday, right Sora?" I asked Sora.

" Uh, yeah." He answered. Roxas then looked over at me.

" Kairi, you and I have spoken before. You probably think we've never met, but we have." Roxas explained.

" When, where, and how?" I asked.

" A year ago, when you went to look for Sora at The End of The World. You were going to be swallowed by darkness. I rescued you. You thought I was Sora."

" Wait, so you were the one who rescued me?" Roxas nodded. " Thank you, Roxas."

" Sora, you and I have met before too. After you and Kairi were separated. You ended up in a place called Castle Oblivion. Things happened and I had to take apart the chains that linked together the memories in your. But I put them back the way you wanted." Namine explained to Sora.

" Wow. Thanks Namine." Sora thanked Namine. I walked to Namine and she walked to me. I held out my hand and Namine took it. She disappeared into my body.

" Look sharp." Roxas closed his eyes and so did Sora. Roxas disappeared into Sora. He started to freak out.

" Don't worry. You're all still you." Riku said.

" Hey! Let's go home!" I called from the portal.

Sora and Riku started to walk towards the portal, but before they made it, the portal started to disappear!

" Sora! Riku!" I cried.

Author's Note: Ha! Another cliffhanger! I tried to make the dialogue as different as I could, but I really like the SoraxKairi and RoxasxNamine cutscene before you fight Xemnas for the last time, so that's why it's sort of the same. As of next chapter, I'll be writing my own dialogue pieces and my own cutscenes. So, read and review!
