The wide walls of the cathedral were erected between massive arches that were supported by modest columns encrusted with rich jewelry. The architecture looked really similar to the buildings of Olympus, but the thing that made the place unique was the presence of gargoyles atop the columns. Strangely enough, there was a holy cross near the altar with a statue of Jesus too, meaning that this was no ordinary cathedral, after all.

"I knew you had it in you, Sora."

"Congratulations, Sora!"

"Two wives at once? I never knew you had it in you."

"Treat them well, Sora."

"Wow, you scored two at the same time? Gotta admire your charisma there."

"I wish you a happy life with them, my friend."

The spiky-haired keyblade wielder opened his eyes to the sound of his friends calling out to him. He immediately saw Riku, Ventus, Roxas, Terra, Axel and Yuuto. They were all wearing formal suits, which made him raise an eyebrow in confusion. As far as he knew, Riku hated suits while he never saw Ven, Terra, Roxas and Axel wear something else besides their usual clothes.

"What are you guys doing here?" he asked, his mind overlooking the fact that Kiba was in the same place as his friends from his own worldline.

It was Riku who answered the question, crossing his arms while smirking. "Sora, don't tell me you're going to sleep through your own wedding like what you always do on every special occasion."

Immediately thinking that his best friend was making fun of him, Sora glared at him. "Hey, I don't fall asleep all the—!" He immediately cut himself off from his words when he realized what Riku just told him. His face burned red and his eyes widened in shock, before he began to speak again. "Wait, what did you say?!"

This time, it was Kiba who decided to speak up, a gentle smile appearing on his face as he shook his head. "Sora, have you already forgotten what day it is today? You're getting married."

"I'm what?!" The color on Sora's face became deeper as he looked down at his own clothes. He was wearing the same formal suit just like his friends, but rather they were of the color white while his pants were black.

"What the hell?!" He thought in complete shock, before he now turned his attention to his surroundings. His mouth hung agape at the place where he was in, and Sora wondered what he was doing in a cathedral, only for Riku and Kiba's words to tick in his mind completely. "I'm getting married?! W-W-W-W-Wha…"

"I'm happy for you, Sora!"

"Though I am saddened that you will no longer be a Guardian of Light, you have my deepest gratitude for everything you have done for us. Best wishes to your new life, Sora."

Those two new voices brought Sora out of his thoughts as he looked towards one of the long benches inside the place, where he saw King Mickey and Master Yen Sid attending the event as spectators. If that wasn't enough, Donald and Goofy were also with them and they were both giving him two thumbs-up with wide smiles on their faces.

Heck, now that he had his eyes on the whole place, he could see almost all the friends he had made in his own universe as witnesses to this very event; Xion, Namine, Yuffie, Leon, Cloud, Aerith, Cid, Ansem the Wise, Herc, Beast, Jack Skellington, Hayner, Pence, and Olette, to name a few. Even all the Princesses of Heart were there!

To make matters more confusing and shocking, all of them were wearing the same formal clothing!

"Son, I'm not sure what to feel about you getting two wives… aw, but what the heck?! Both of them are really pretty, anyway!"

"Dear, this is too much to take for a parent, but make sure to treat them with the love and care that they deserve, got it?"

Yep, that was his mom and dad. There was no way he couldn't recognize those voices, although all it did was confuse him even more since he had no idea how they got here.

"E-Everyone… you're all here…" Sora whispered, before realization struck him. Why was he with his friends in his original worldline? Wasn't he supposed to be in Kuoh with Rias and the others? What the hell happened? Was he back in his own universe or something?

"Ara, ara, Sora-kun… you may be getting married today, but that doesn't stop me from having an affair with you, fufufu~"

"Sora-san, I… I want to marry you as well…!"

"Senpai, I still want to sit on your lap like always."

"Uhm… c-congratulations, Sora…"

Now turning his attention to the other side of the cathedral, he saw the female members of the Occult Research Club having mixed reactions on their faces, but all donning smiles nonetheless. What confused him was that Aqua was sitting with them, for reasons he didn't know. Anyway, he was now sure that something weird was going on here, because BOTH his friends from his worldline and Kuoh were all gathered in the same place! How the hell did that happen?!

"I...I don't understand…" Sora held his head in confusion, looking down on the floor with a conflicted expression. He wasn't aware of a figure appearing beside him, who only giggled at his current state. "What's going on here…? I'm getting married… to who?!"

"Come on, Sora. This day is important for me as much as it is for you. Don't tell me you're backing out of our wedding, lazy bum."

The boy's eyes widened as he recognized the voice that just spoke, forcing him to quickly look to the side, where he saw the girl who was dressed as a bride. Even with the white veil partially covering her face, Sora could clearly figure out the identity behind the girl. There was no doubt that this girl wearing a white bridal gown… was Kairi.

"K-Kairi?!" he exclaimed in shock, now noticing that everyone had begun to clap for them. The girl held both of his hands before smiling brightly, while Sora could only blush in deep embarrassment. A wedding with Kairi… was something he wasn't expecting after everything that's happened. "I-I-I-I'm m-m-marrying Kairi…?!"

"Don't forget about me, Sora."

Both teens' attention turned to the source of the voice, and while Kairi giggled along with her, Sora's mouth hung agape at seeing Rias Gremory also dressed as a bride. There was no veil covering her face, but the black wedding dress that she wore was enough to convey the message that she was also ready to get married.

"R-R-RIAS?!" he cried, flabbergasted that the two girls were both wearing wedding dresses before him, which made them chuckle in amusement. Remembering one particular part in his memories that had something to do with marriage, Sora adopted a look of confusion. "W-Why are you dressed like that? I thought you're no longer getting married to Riser…"

"What are you talking about? I'm not getting married to him, silly." Rias smiled, sending a knowing glance at Kairi before she held one of Sora's hands. "It's our wedding day, Sora. Have you already forgotten? I know it's been months ago, but you proposed to me and Kairi at the same time."

"W-W-WHAT…?!" If one was bad enough, how about two? It completely shocked him that he was about to get married to Kairi, but hearing that the same thing was going to happen in Rias' case, well… he had no idea how he wasn't fainting by now. Steam began to erupt from his ears in response to Rias' words, but before he could answer her in any way, another familiar voice began to speak.

(Stop playing - "Passion [Orchestral Version]")

[For a dense idiot, you sure have interesting dreams, Partner.]

Sora's complete attention was immediately turned towards that ominous voice but before he could do anything, the whole place was plunged in darkness. The cathedral disappeared and everybody was gone, which caused the keybearer to gasp in shock. Turning his head towards the two girls before him, he only had a split second to see the two of them smiling before fading as well.

"Kairi! Rias!" he shouted, reaching out for them but to no avail. Sora then found himself floating in the vast nothingness, until he realized that he was descending for some reason. When he felt that his feet had landed somewhere, he looked down to see his Station of Awakening forming underneath him.

(Play - "Dive into the Heart")

"So that whole thing… was just a dream?" Sora thought to himself, realizing what was happening to him at this very moment. He sighed in relief at that since that wedding was just imaginary, before regaining a serious look on his face. "But wait… that voice… it's speaking to me again… is he the one that brought me here?"

[It's been a long time since I've been asleep, but now that I have awakened and looked through your memories, I must say… you're quite the interesting host, Partner.] The voice spoke out from behind Sora. Now that he was getting a better outlook at things, the voice sounded like it came from some kind of monster. However, it didn't sound like it had any bad intentions at all. [I have a feeling that you and I will get along well.]

Figuring out where the voice was coming from, Sora turned around in hopes of meeting the thing that was bothering him for weeks now. Upon first sight of it, the boy widened his eyes and his jaw dropped in awe over what stood before him.

Standing outside of his Station of Awakening, nearly a hundred times larger than himself, was a creature he had encountered only a few times during his adventures. Its mouth was a mass of razor-sharp teeth and its face held a reptilian appearance. Long spikes were sticking out of the back of its head like a crown that continued on as spiky ridges along its neck and back. It was covered in bright red scales that shone with a brilliant luster as the fire raging around it refracted off the surface of its body.

"It's… a dragon…" Sora breathed out.

[Are you scared? From what I saw in your memories, this isn't the first time you encountered a dragon.] The red dragon spoke, leaning closer towards the keybearer who didn't budge one bit.

"No, I'm just… confused… that's all…" Sora shook his head slowly as he continued to stare at the gigantic creature standing before him. He then snapped out of it and proceeded to satisfy his curiosity, raising an eyebrow. "Wait a minute… are you the voice that I keep hearing ever since I got here? I noticed you only talk when I'm fighting against my enemies…"

[Why, yes I am. Ever since I have awakened, I have been doing my job as your Partner to help you out in battle. But it seems you already know how to utilize my power that I chose to simply watch and then speak with you face-to-face only now.]

"Uh… I'm still confused… but I guess I have to thank you for helping me out!" Sora rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, before realizing something important as he cupped his chin. "But wait… I'm just dreaming, right? How can you be here in my mind, then? Can you somehow read minds that you can show up in the thoughts of a person?"

The dragon deadpanned, if its narrow eyes were any indication that it did. [Yes, you are dreaming. However, my powers don't involve reading minds. I've been inside you ever since you were born, Partner.]

"Oh, then I guess that's—" Sora instantly cut himself off as the creature's words kicked into his brain. "Wait, wait, wait, what?! You've been inside me all this time?" Instead of saying how ridiculous it sounded, it actually made sense considering he kept on hearing the dragon's voice inside him. It didn't stop from being confused since as far as he knew, there were only three hearts who had taken refuge inside him throughout his life: Ventus, Xion, and Roxas. "But… how? Nobody told me that there were four hearts inside me!"

[It's not my heart that is residing inside you, Partner, but rather my whole self.] Sora's eyes widened to indescribable proportions upon hearing that. [I've been living inside you ever since birth.]

"W-W-W-WHAT…?!" Sora took a step back as his mind churned out more questions. The thought of a huge dragon actually living inside him was honestly creepy and pretty cool at the same time, although it did nothing to alleviate him from his confusion. "If you were inside me all along, then how come nobody noticed you! There was a scientist back home who used to do all kinds of experiments on me, but he never said anything about a dragon!" he exclaimed, remembering Ansem the Wise and his research.

[Perhaps it was because I was asleep at the time that not even you noticed.] The dragon pondered, as he was also confused. [Ever since I chose you as my host, I have been asleep until you landed in this town, which is apparently the world I belong in.]

"W-W-What…? The world you belong in?" Sora looked down for a moment, before it struck him. All the times that he had been referred to with that name, and now that he had a good look at the identity behind the voice that he kept on hearing… it all made sense. Donhaseek, Yozora, Riser and his peerage… all of them referred to him using the same name. Sora turned back towards the dragon and slowly pointed his finger at it. "D-Don't tell me that you're—?!"

[What you're thinking of is correct, Partner.] The dragon bowed its head slightly. [My name is Ddraig, also known as the Welsh Dragon. I am the entity that resides in the Boosted Gear, one of the 13 Longinus that God created, which also happens to be in your possession.]

"Then… all the things that people have been saying about were right…" Pretty much everyone he came across during his time in this world except for Rias and the ORC have said that he was a wielder of a Longinus, and he never would have thought it was all true. "But this doesn't make sense! I'm not from this world, so how can I have a Longinus inside me?! Don't tell me I came from here all along…?"

[I'm afraid that even I don't know the answer to that, Partner. Regardless of that, you are my host and we'll be partners from now on.] Somehow, Ddraig also seemed confused with all this. After all, he had to look through the boy's memories to know more about him. [One thing for sure, you aren't from around here. If you were, I wouldn't have been put in a deep sleep for many years inside you. Perhaps that Gremory girl with you can help figure this out.]

"Okay, I… I guess I can tell Rias about this…" Sora muttered, already thinking of revealing all of this to her and everyone else when he stops by the clubroom later on. His mind then drifted into another thought entirely, making him raise an eyebrow in wonder. "Wait, I have something to ask! You said that you're my partner in battle, but how exactly do you help me? All you're doing is just screaming the same 'boost' thing over and over… what does that even do?"

[HAHAHAHAHA, you truly are an interesting host! You can be so dense at times, while also being quite perceptive.] Ddraig laughed, which only caused the boy to sweat-drop. [But to answer your question, I help you in a lot of ways. I won't say how, because you already know.]

Sora stared at him confusingly as an imaginary question mark appeared on top of his head, while Ddraig looked quite smug about messing around with him. "Huh? N-No, I don't… that's why I was asking you!"

[I'll only say this, Partner. You have a unique gift for connecting with the people around you and because of this, it led me to granting you my powers in a very interesting way. You already know about it, you just have to figure what it is exactly.] Sora stared at the dragon with a dumbfounded look on his face, being reminded of Yen Sid's words towards him during his third adventure. [For now, you have to wake up. We'll speak with each other again soon.]

"W-Wait, I still have—!" Sora tried to call out to the dragon with his hand raised, but Ddraig was already gone, enveloped in darkness.

(Stop playing - "Dive into the Heart")

Back in the real world, Sora shot up from his bed, sitting up with such force that the blanket covering him was thrown off. The boy was breathing heavily after all that transpired in his mind, so much that he held his head to properly remember what happened. At first, he was having a dream about him marrying Kairi and Rias, which then turned into the first meeting between him and that voice he kept on hearing, which was apparently a dragon that resided in him ever since he was born.

"I can't believe it… I really have a dragon inside me…? I've already seen many crazy things during my adventures, but…" he muttered, thinking about the little talk he had with Ddraig. "...I think this beats those things by a lot… I don't think even my friends back home know about this." He shook his head furiously to regain his composure. "Anyway, I have to get ready for school… I need to tell Rias and the others about—" he was about to get out of bed, only for him to see that there was someone beside him.

"Oh right, I forgot… I should've known she would sleep here…" Sora gulped nervously, his face burning up as he was now staring at the naked body of Rias Gremory, who was beginning to stir from her sleep. "Rias was here last night, and we were—!" His blush deepened and he had to shake his head again upon remembering that him and Rias kissed the previous night. It was his first kiss, and… well, as much as he would've wanted it to be with Kairi… it is what it is. Still, it didn't lessen his embarrassment one bit. "S-S-Stop thinking about it! Stop it! You'll end up making it worse…!"

Sora was too occupied in trying to think about something else, Rias slowly sat up and faced the boy in all her naked glory. Rubbing her eyes slightly, she smiled at her pawn.

"Good morning, Sora."

Her voice snapped the keybearer out of his stupor, quickly turning his head away to prevent himself from looking at her naked body. He actually tried locking his bedroom door in an effort to prevent Rias from sneaking into his bed, but once he did, she used magic circles to make her way in. At this point, he had already gotten used to seeing Rias naked in his bed, so much that her body was permanently imprinted in his mind… which wasn't a good thing. It didn't make things less embarrassing, though.

"G-G-G-Good m-morning…" he greeted while trying to show his usual smile, although it wasn't doing well due to the embarrassed look on his face. "W-W-W-Why did you decide to sleep here, Rias…? Y-You have your own room, right? I-Is it because of… w-w-what happened last night?"

Rias giggled mischievously. "Fufufu, after what happened between us last night, I just couldn't help myself, Sora. I wanted to sleep with my favorite lap pillow."

"H-H-H-H-Hug p-p-pillow…?!" Sora's blush skyrocketed, his mind registering Rias' words as he then felt his shoulders being pressed down onto the bed. The girl pinned him down as she climbed on top of his waist. Sora grimaced at this embarrassing position as he tried to mutter out a response. "W-W-Wait, what are you—?!"

The Gremory girl silenced him with a finger to his lips. "You know Sora, we still have some time~" she spoke in a soft purring tone that made him shiver, slowly stroking his chin as she bent down with her bare breasts pressing against his chest. "Since we already kissed last night, what do you say if we have some more fun right now?"

"Uhhhh… uhhmm… I-I-I-I…" Sora's mind was going haywire as he couldn't comprehend Rias' question properly. In fact, his eyes began to swirl because of too much embarrassment that he felt like fainting at any second.

"Let's take it slow, okay?" Sora gasped as he saw her face slowly descending upon him. "We'll get ready for school later~"

Blushing furiously, Sora could only close his eyes at this point as his body waited intensely for Rias to come unto him, while there was also a part of him that was internally pleading for someone to save him from his embarrassment.

Yeah, he was totally hoping for the latter.

The door suddenly opened, interrupting the two from their supposed moment of intimacy. Asia walked into the room, a bright smile plastered on her face while she was already dressed in her school uniform. "Are you up yet, Sora-san? Breakfast is almost—" The girl stopped in her words upon seeing Rias sitting up, completely naked while Sora supported himself on his elbows and looked even more embarrassed now that he was caught in the act.

Rias smiled gently. "Good morning, Asia. I was just having a little private moment with Sora, so can you please head on downstairs first? We'll join you and Koneko shortly."

"IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, ASIA!" The keyblade wielder waved his hand furiously as he did his best to calm the raging blush on his face, trying to show that he had nothing to do with this.

Unfortunately, Asia only stood there, shocked at the scene before her as tears began to form in her eyes. She then began to take off her clothes, one by one. "Whatever it is, I'm taking off my clothes too! I don't want to be left out!" She stripped herself of her shirt and bra, leaving her breasts left to bare as she launched herself towards the bed.

"Why is this happening to me?!" Sora mentally screamed.

(ORC Clubroom)

Two important things were supposed to happen today, according to Rias' agenda. The first thing was to introduce Sora and Asia to the other group of devils in school, which was the student council. After that, she would accompany her two newest servants to the Familiar Forest, where they will get the opportunity to have a familiar of their own, just like with the rest of them. However, things would seem to take an interesting turn with the words that came out of Sora's mouth as soon as he arrived in the clubroom.

"Rias, do you know anything about how I got a Longinus inside me?"

That question alone would catch everbody's attention as all pairs of eyes in the room went towards the keybearer, while Rias donned a serious and yet confused look on her face.

"You know about it? Since when?" she asked in a serious tone.

"Just this morning…" Sora admitted while rubbing the back of his head. Yeah, he also made a mental note to not mention the dream he was having before that… "While I was dreaming, a big red dragon suddenly showed up in front of me and the next thing I know, we were talking with each other."

Like with the rest of her servants, Rias widened her eyes upon hearing Sora's words. There could only be one thing he meant when he said 'big red dragon', and they all knew what it was. If that was the case, then they wouldn't need to break the news out to Sora in a more civilized way. The redhead looked at her peerage members for a moment, before turning back towards the spiky-haired boy once again.

"Explain everything, Sora."

And so, the whole peerage spent the next several minutes listening to Sora about his first encounter with the Welsh Dragon, and how he was truly the host of the Boosted Gear even if he was from another world. It all but confirmed what they found out during the Rating Game against Riser, which surprised the boy that his actually knew about it before he did. He never would have thought Ddraig's voice could be heard through the communicator he used.

Finally, after carefully explaining everything to his friends down to the last detail, Sora took the opportunity to ask his leader what has been bugging his mind ever since Ddraig told him the truth about him being a Longinus wielder.

"Rias, how do you think I ended up having a Longinus inside me?" he asked, crossing his arms. "Ddraig said that you could help me since you're the one who did turn me into a devil in the first place… did you sense something inside me when we met? He also said that he only got to wake up from his sleep when I ended up here…"

"Honestly, Sora…" Rias took a deep breath and clasped her hands together. Forget her agenda for the day, this issue was bigger than what she had in mind. It could affect the whole Underworld if this is not dealt with immediately. Wait, that would be an understatement. The ENTIRE supernatural world will be shaken when news come out that one of the lost Longinus has been found. "I haven't the slightest idea how you acquired a Longinus since you're not from this world. It doesn't help that the one you have is one of the lost Longinus, and there is only limited information about them."

"That sucks…" Sora frowned and sighed, because he was really hoping that his leader may have an idea how this all happened.

"However…" Rias continued, which gained her everyone's attention again. This time, the girl was doing her best to remind herself of the day she first met Sora. "On the day we met… I had the feeling that your keyblade was a Sacred Gear the moment I looked at it. But when I learned about your origins, I ignored that feeling and treated your keyblade as your own weapon."

"Are you saying that… Ddraig was in my keyblade all along? But that would mean that Riku was in control of him for a bit. Is that even possible?" he spoke, remembering how his best friend stole the keyblade from him during his first trip to Hollow Bastion.

Rias shook her head and released a deep sigh. "Sacred Gears and the Longinus don't work that way, Sora. They stay with their host from the moment they were born until the day they die. That immediately eliminates any possibility of the Welsh Dragon residing in your keyblade, considering it was stolen from you once."

"Oh… well…" Sora cupped his chin and tried to think of another scenario, only to release a sigh of his own, slumping his shoulders in defeat. "This is really hard… even Ddraig doesn't know anything and he told me you might…"

"I feel you, Sora." Rias sent a sad look towards her pawn. "I guess we can wait until the Welsh Dragon talks to you again, but since he doesn't know anything either, we're on our own to solve this mystery. To make matters worse, we don't have any headstarts to help us here."

"Buchou, this is a really big issue, don't you think?" Yuuto spoke up with a small frown on his face. "By now, at least fifteen devils are now aware of Sora's nature as a Longinus wielder, and that's only Riser Phenex and his peerage. If we also count Sirzechs Lucifer-sama…"

"Don't remind me," Rias huffed. Her brother was one of the people who watched the Rating Game, meaning that he's likely aware of the Red Dragon Emperor's identity by now. In fact, she was surprised that Sirzechs nor Grayfia haven't contacted her about this issue yet, but whatever. Rias wanted to keep Sora safe with her for as long as she could. Whether or not her brother knows, she could only hope that he doesn't do anything stupid.

"Soon, the whole Underworld will be aware of Sora-kun's identity as the Red Dragon Emperor, Buchou." Akeno said in a rare serious tone.

Sora tilted his head cluelessly. "Is that a bad thing?"

"You don't want to know, Sora." Kiba answered for him, crossing his arms while being worried for his friend. From how he could see it, the higher-ups in the devil community would be split and would either see Sora as a danger or a savior.

"Ano…" Asia approached Sora and held his arm securely, while sending a look of worry for the keybearer. "We shouldn't let anything bad happen to Sora-san. He's done many things for us… we can't let him go through the same fate."

The boy looked at Asia in wonder for a moment before flashing a smile at the girl. All of the ORC members turned their eyes towards Sora after hearing Asia's words, as they found themselves internally agreeing to what she said, especially Rias. There was no way they'd let one of their own to his fate, especially since he was a stranger to this world..

Everything went quiet between them until they heard a knock on the door, and the Gremory girl already knew who it was. Rias sighed as she realized that she wasn't able to inform Sora and Asia of the people who were coming over to meet them. But how could she? They ended up discussing Sora's apparent nature as a Longinus wielder and took up the time she alloted to explain things to her two newest members. She wouldn't regret it, though… at least now, everyone was aware of what Sora had inside him.

"Come on in," she nervously said as all pairs of eyes inside the room darted towards the door.

A group of female students made their way inside the clubroom, all led by a bespectacled girl who looked to be on the same age as Rias. Soon enough, the whole student council were inside the room.

"So Rias, did you explain the concept of familiars to them?" Sona asked with a small smile on her face.

"No Sona, I didn't get to," Rias shook her head sadly as she looked towards her childhood friend/rival. "We ended up talking about something else, and it terribly concerns my pawn." She then remembered something important, standing up from her desk while looking at Sona. "Wait a minute, you were also watching the Rating Game against Riser, weren't you? That means you already know about Sora's nature."

Sona only nodded her head. "Yes, I am. I never would have thought Ishida-kun was a wielder of a Longinus. You found a gold mine, Rias. I have to say, this is truly an interesting topic of discussion, and hear me out when I have to say that I am willing help you get to the bottom of this."

"I appreciate your help, Sona." Rias nodded back in return.

"Uh Rias, who are these people? You know them?" Sora asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity at the group of female students that just arrived in their clubroom.

"Yes, Sora." Rias answered as she walked closer towards the Sitri heiress, while sending a knowing look to two of her servants. "Sora, Asia, this is Sona Sitri, she's the current President of the Student Council, but she's also the leader of another group of devils here in Kuoh. Her peerage is basically the student council, and you see them everyday. Apparently, she wanted her peerage to meet you, and I figured that you should also get to know them, so we arranged a meeting between our peerages for today."

"Wow… so there are more devils like us in this school!" Sora said in awe, smiling at each and every one of the student council members.

"This is also the perfect opportunity for me to introduce two new members of my peerage to the Occult Research Club," Sona pushed up her glasses as she sent a slight smirk towards the spiky-haired keyblade wielder. "And I'm sure Ishida-kun will be most delighted to meet them."

With those words, a few of Sona's servants moved to the side, revealing two people behind them whom Sora never expected to see at this very moment. The brunette had widened his eyes and his jaw had all but dropped to the floor in pure shock. His legs felt weak that he could almost collapse, but he managed to steady himself as the two people stepped forward with smiles on their faces.

"Hey, Sora. Good to see you doing well in this world." Roxas said, as he and Xion smiled at his dumbfounded other.

And there we go. We see Sora dreaming about marrying both Rias and Kairi, but I wonder if it will be true… oh, I hope it will! Next, Ddraig finally communicates with Sora for the first time, and he explains a few points to the boy that clears things up for all the readers. He'll be back, don't worry. Lastly, we see Rias and the ORC discussing about Sora's true nature as a Longinus wielder, which all ends in the Student Council making their appearance and along with them is our favorite Org 13 duo. Next chapter should be interesting, because Roxas and Xion are finally reunited with Sora.

Goodbye… and good night! BANG! *too sweet gesture*
