"This can't be," said Cerise as everyone looked on with defeat in their eyes, dropping to their knees out of shock and dread.
"Now do you get it, the darkness can take even the strongest of hearts," said the Evil Queen as she turned around to leave. However, she stopped in her tracks when Raven turned to look at Apple.
"Raven, are you still there?" asked Apple, hope glimmering in her eyes. The Shadow then bent down and placed where it's mouth should be on Apple's lips.
"That… that's not possible!" said the Evil Queen as a light radiated from the Shadow as it turned back to Raven.
"Thanks for saving me, my brave princess," said Raven after pulling out of the kiss while smiling at Apple.
"How… how did you break free of the darkness?!" asked the Evil Queen.
"Like I said, you need to balance the light and dark, which I do on a daily basis," said Raven as her Keyblades came to her.
"That's not possible, darkness and light are enemies, they aren't meant to get along!" said the Evil Queen as more dark energy shot forth.
"No, they're friends forced to fight, Final Form," said Raven. Her clothes then turned silver and black as she charged in, using Rebel Blade to cut right through the dark energy.
"She's fast!" thought the Evil Queen as Raven got in front of her.
"Rule in Darkness!" said Raven as she struck her mother with the Royal Blade. As the Queen was sent out of the building by this attack, black marks appeared on her right side.
"I have to get out of here!" thought the Evil Queen as she fell to the battlefield where everyone stopped fighting.
"Rebel in Light!" said Raven who had jumped out the hole to follow her. This time she struck the other side of her mother with Rebel Blade, causing white marks to appear on that side. The Evil Queen then struck the ground hard while Raven broke her fall thanks to Glide.
"How… how did you use light and darkness with the opposite blades?" asked the Evil Queen as she stumbled to her feet.
"Once again, they're friends, their powers can freely be used between any Keyblades, no matter how pure the Keyblades maybe," said Raven.
"What are you doing just standing there, kill her!" said the Evil Queen as she noticed all the Heartless just standing around.
"Sorry, but my last two attacks blocked your connection to the Heartless," said Raven as all of the Heartless started to vanish. Baba Yaga and the others even fell unconscious as their symbols shattered from their shoulders.
"No… no!" said the Evil Queen as she started to be absorbed by the darkness.
"You realize that even without me there will be Heartless, and they won't have anyone to control them!" said the Evil Queen.
"And there will also be those who protect others and free those lost hearts," said Raven as her mother was completely taken in by the darkness.
"Raven!" said Apple as she and the others ran out of the castle. Before Raven could say a word, the princess tackled-hugged her.
"I can't believe you jumped out of the castle like that," said Apple.
"I knew I would be alright, Glide can break falls from even higher places then that," said Raven before giving the princess another kiss while smiling.
"Why don't you two go ahead and share a Paopu Fruit?" asked Briar as she, Cerise, and Cedar tried not to burst out laughing at the expressions of everyone else.
"Why don't you and Faybelle share one?" asked Apple who was as red as her namesake.
"We already did years ago," said Briar before walking away from them and over to the fairy who was blushing that Briar just admitted that so casually.
