A/N: This is the Epilogue. It will explain close to nothing because I left things unfinished in this fic for a reason. I plan to write a couple more stories based on this. If there is anything that you think is unexplained in this fic, anything at all then don't hesitate to put it in your review incase it's something I've missed.

Epilogue

At long last, all the turmoil and chaos created by the three keyblades had come to an end. Search parties were sent out to find all the hundreds of people who were missing and after three days, it seemed that almost everyone was back at the ancient fortress. Kairi was sitting on Sora's lap, Sora on his throne.

"Where's Ansem and Riku?" Kairi asked Sora.

A terrible feeling began to well up inside them, a feeling that felt very familiar to them. They were both worried that they would never get to see their friend again.

"Cheer up fellas," Mickey said in a cheerful voice. "I'm sure he can't have gone too far."

"What if he's dead?" Sora asked.

"Nonsense!" Mickey said firmly. "Now come down to the dining hall and celebrate with everyone else. Sure people have died but their deaths will be in vain if we spend the time they gave us in depression."

Sora thought for a while and then looked at Kairi for confirmation. When she nodded, Sora turned to Mickey and said, "We'll be down there soon. There's something I need to do first."

Mickey could tell by the confusion in Kairi's eyes that she didn't know what this was about so he said, "Ok Sora. You two come down when you're ready."

"Kairi, we need to talk."

Kairi could tell by Sora's tone that this was serious. "What is it?" she asked.

"Well, I'm sure that you probably want to go back home after the celebrations and… well… if you decide to go… I can't come with you."

Kairi just laughed. "Of course you can't. You have to stay here and look after me!"

"Huh?" Sora was shocked. How could she know what I was planning…

"Well we can't just leave these people, especially not now…"

Sora hugged her, glad that she was who she was.

A few Minutes Later. . .

Sora and Kairi were sitting down in the dining hall along with everybody else. The grandness of the place had diminished greatly with all the fighting that had gone on there but it was still habitable. Everyone was eating the food that had been cooked, nobody knew where it had come from but everybody was glad to have it. After about half an hour, Kairi nudged Sora, indicating to him that he needed to say something. Sora stood up and stared at all the survivors.

"Many of us have died to destroy the dark wielder but many more of us still live. Tomorrow, we will begin to rebuild our society, but today we should celebrate the freedom that the dead have bought us. I'm sure they would want it that way."

Everyone cheered loudly, their voices echoing up through the roof which was miraculously intact. The cheering stopped suddenly as another, more monotonous sound began to echo even more loudly.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

It gave Sora the impression that something incredibly heavy was walking closer. He withdrew his two light keyblades and walked over to the door to have a look. The sight that greeted him was much worse then anything he could have imagined. Ansem walked slowly closer to him, carrying something limp, lifeless and covered in blood. Sora was horrified as he stared at the silver haired body of his friend Riku.

"W-w-what happened?" Sora asked.

"I'm sorry Sora," Ansem said. "There was nothing I could do."

"You mean he's really…"

"Yes." Ansem replied simply with a grim look on his face.

"But how did this happen?"

"The nobody of Alexa stabbed him in the back!" Ansem said with a hint of suppressed anger.

Sora dropped to his knees, head down.

"How could this happen after everything we've been through?"

Kairi came out and was about to ask Sora what the problem was but when she saw the body she dropped next to him.

"He didn't deserve this…" Kairi said as a tear leaked out of her eyes.

"No," Ansem said, "He didn't."

"Did you avenge his death?" Sora asked.

"Yes," Ansem said. "Xalea is dead."

Strangely, hearing that didn't bring any of the relief Sora was hoping it would, instead it made him feel worse.

Ansem had the look of a man who was holding a terrible secret but had sworn not to give it up but neither Sora nor Kairi noticed.

"Things will never be as they were," Ansem said. "But I think Riku will be much happier where he is now."

"How could you say that?" Kairi said.

"He will be with Alexa again," Ansem said.

Kairi hadn't known anything about the relationship that had been growing between Riku and Alexa and so was surprised to hear of this.

"He has found love," Sora said. "That should be enough."

Somewhere else a few months away…

A small robed figure stood on the ground swinging a dark looking keyblade around. It gave the impression that it had once been covered in spikes but now… It was a straight, thin beam of black metal with the blade at the end.

The small robed figure leapt into the air and swung the dark keyblade around 3 times before flipping around and landing on the ground again.

Suddenly the small robed figure was surrounded by light and a voice echoed throughout the room.

"Your Majesty! Are you alright?"

The small robed figure hastily let the keyblade fade into his heart and he stood up straight, composing himself in preparation to answer.

"Of course Donald. What gave you the idea that I wasn't?"

"Ah…." Donald had no answer to that.

"Don't worry about it," the small robed figure said. "And call me Mickey."

"Yes your majes… Mickey," Donald said, hastily correcting himself.
