In the place of the keyhole, a portal began to expand.

"Leaf..." Moana gasped, "What is that?" I stepped forward; a feeling was calling more forward towards it. I turned back to face Moana and Maui; they stared back at me.

"I think... this is for me." I told them, "My way back home."

"Home?" Maui asked, "Why would this lead you back home? Can't you just sail back to it?" I hesitated for a moment; I had never actually told these two where I'm from. Maui recognizes I'm not normal, but I never confirmed I was from a different world altogether. I suppose there's no reason I couldn't tell them now. After everything we've been through, I'm sure they'll understand. I shook my head,

"No." I inhaled deeply, "Actually, I am not from an island here in this world."

"This world?" Moana asked.

"I knew it!" Maui exclaimed, "I knew your power wasn't anything of this place!"

"What are you saying?!" Moana looked at him, "So is he a god or something?" I jumped at the wild accusation.

"No, definitely not! I'm still human just like you Moana. I am a simple traveler of worlds, going to many different places to help people. To fight the darkness that spreads across everywhere, the monsters that you saw, that is what I fight."

"You mean the darkness here wasn't just from the heart being gone?" Maui asked me.

"I don't know, the heartless- er monsters, are commonly present in other worlds, but this darkness was strange to be able to be sealed up like that; assuming it is gone for now."

"So you're saying that there's a possibility that those things will still be around?"

"Yes."

"My island! Motunui! What if it isn't stopped? My village could be under attack!"

"That's a big if ." Maui asked. Moana gave him a hard stare, forcing his expression to become frightened, "Oh alright, let's head back to the boat then." The two began sprinting off, but froze right after. They turned back towards me.

"Leaf," Moana called, "Are... are you coming with us? I... just realized that maybe you're already wanting to go home..." She's right. I would like to see The Gups again... I looked back at the portal, the calling of home still trying to pull me. I sighed, I came here to only find the keyhole, but fighting darkness was my job as well. If a whole town is actually going to be under attack, I can't just walk off as if I don't care. I walked towards Moana and Maui,

"That can wait, I wouldn't feel right if I didn't know if you all would be okay!" Moana and Maui smiled. Moana cheered,

"Thanks, Leaf! C'mon let's hurry!" We all took off towards the boat then. Saying our goodbye's to Te Fiti before sailing back off. All of us, ready for whatever would happen next. As we traveled across, I took into notice of how the water was unusually more clearer than what it had been. I dipped my hand into it; it felt cool and otherwise wonderful on my fingers. I would have loved to taken a swim if I wasn't still afraid of what might lurk beneath, "Wow!" Moana yelled, "The breeze, water, all of it! Feels great! Certainly, everything must've been worked out!"

"I agree," Maui nodded, "We should make it back to your island in just a couple days if we aren't there are no interruptions."

"There's still those pirates," I added, "We'll have to be sure not to let any sneak up on us."

"Right, though I'm fairly certain with our powers, they won't even be able to touch us!" Maui patted me on the back. Just as Maui predicted, trip indeed took only a couple of days. We arrived at Motunui, where my and Moana's journey together started.

"Look!" She pointed, "I see it!" Maui and I looked over to see the small island. I knew from that moment it was fine. The dark spot on the side was gone, in fact, the island seemed to be already healing. The island was even more green than when we left it.

"Dad!" Moana called. I smiled, happy to see her so excited. Once we got closer; the people on the island began to notice us. I felt something on my shoulder; I looked over to see a beetle with a familiar expression. It was Maui,

"If there is no danger, I'd rather not show myself to these people." He whispered.

"Why?"

"Because I am a demigod, I only came back to make sure Moana would be safe."

"Is that Moana?" I heard one of the villagers yell.

"It is! It's the chief's daughter!"

"Hurry! Alert Chief Tui that his daughter has arrived back!"

"I can't believe it! She actually is still alive! On a vessel of her own!" We shortly docked our boat back on the beach. The chief approaching towards us with Sina by his side. Sina gasped,

"Mom! Dad!" Moana jumped off and ran towards them, grabbing them into a hug.

"Moana!" Sina cried. I stepped off the boat as well, walking over with them. The three pulled from their hug. Tui and Sina both turned towards me. Tui approached me, looking down on me. He smiled,

"Leaf," He began, "I am glad you and Moana are safe." I gave a nod back.

"Squee!" A pig ran forward and jumped up on Moana.

"Pua!" Moana called, hugging the pig. The villagers all began to surround us, cheering and welcoming us back. Maui disappeared at some point, not saying goodbye. Tui and the rest welcomed us back, throwing a festival to celebrate the success of Moana and I's victory in returning the heart of Te Fiti. I sat in my small hut, with Han watching me getting ready for the event. I was excited about the event, it'd had been a long several days of nothing but fighting and sailing on the sea. Not to mention that fighting heartless and exploring dozens of worlds was pretty much daily for me. So it wasn't very often I got to relax and have fun with friends. I was gifted a special red leaf skirt for the festival. The same old lady who gave me my green one made it for me. I held my mushroom cap in my hand, dusting it off, it was starting to lose its wear. I pulled it over my head and looked back at Han,

"Ready boy?"

"Yarp!" Han yapped. He walked by my side, panting after me. We stepped out and headed over to the main area of the village. I found Moana with her mother by their home, both wearing pretty similar red outfits, but different from the other women here.

"Leaf!" Moana called as she noticed me. She waved over to me as I made my way to her, "What do you think? Isn't this great!" She asked, "With the darkness expelled from the water, the number plant and animal life has increased already!"

"That's awesome!" I told her. I looked at Sina, nodding in greeting. She smiled back at me,

"So glad you could join us Leaf, Moana tells us that you have been searching for a way back to your home and just recently found it. I hope you don't see this celebration as a delay." I shook my head,

"Not at all, I'm happy to attend."

"Great! Because my father is actually going to have a ceremony for us!" Moana cheered.

"A ceremony?"

"Yes! To officially honor us as heroes!" The festival went by, the villagers played games, ate many different types of food that I don't think I could stomach if I wanted to. I sat with some of the villagers I knew, such as Azul and Auryon from the hunting party. They impatiently all asked for the stories of my and Moana's journey.

"No way! Such monsters could exist... I've heard of legends but..."

"You fought those single-handedly?!"

"Who'd have thought that Maui would turn out to be a good man after all..." The night went by with idle chit-chat; Up until the ceremony began. The villagers stood and sat in a row, with a clearing in the middle. Moana and I walked through, approaching her father and mother, who stood at the front waiting for us.

"Moana and Leaf," Chief Tui began, "You both have done what no other would have done. You sailed into the sea of monsters, delved deep into the depths into the realm of monsters, and returned Maui to return the heart of Te Fiti. We, the people of Motunui, thank you. Leaf," he turned to me, "We thank you for all your help, traveler of from distant islands, the boy with the key, the Wandering Wielder, we accept you as an honorary guest of the tribe of Motunui!" Sina held a red garland, she held it to me. I took off my hat, allowing her to put it on my head. The people clapped as I bowed my head in thanks. Chief Tui looked at Moana, "Moana, my daughter, you have defied my rules countless times with going near the ocean; and now I am the one who is in the wrong. You have done what we feared for generations, and such courage does indeed make me believe that you, Moana of Motunui, will make a fine Chief!" Sina now carried a set of different flower wrist and hair accessories, handing them to Moana. Moana gasped at the gift, "Of course, we can not make you chief just yet. We have too many preparations that must take place before, you understand." Moana smiled,

"Of course dad." She bowed. The villagers all stood up, clapping and cheering. Moana and I looked at each other, smiling proudly as we bowed to them.

I decided to stay for the next couple of days, to assure that the heartless were gone. Over time, the people of Motunui began to fetch the boats from the secret cave behind the waterfall and use them to travel out to the ocean, the life on both land and water ravished; Motunui had finally been saved.

I know stood on the beach, looking out into the ocean. It was late at night, I was too make my way off back to Te Fiti and return home tomorrow. The warm waves of water washed over my toes, I was going to miss it. This whole trip had been nice, like most worlds, this place was very interesting. I looked out into the distance, I was glad I was finally going to go home too.

The next morning I began undoing the knots on my boat that the people of Motunui gave me. The sail had a customary painted red leaf on, for my name. I heard footsteps in the sand,

"Leaf." I looked over to see Moana with Pua.

"Moana! Hey!" I jumped off and walked over to her.

"So... you're leaving to go back to your... world?" I gave her a nod,

"That's right. Come to see me off?"

"Y-Yeah, I did." She looked at me, then moving her glance to the ground, "It's been fun, you know, this?"

"Sure has been quite the experience."

"You've seen worse though, right?"

"I guess so, definitely haven't fought a giant crab or lava monster before." Moana laughed,

"So it was for all of us!" We both let out a chuckle. She looked at me, "Thank you Leaf, I don't think any of this would've been possible without you." I shook my head,

"Nah, I believe you would've found a way without me one way or another." Moana pulled me into a hug,

"Will you come visit?"

"If I can, I promise."

"You better!" said another voice. Moana and I looked over to see a large man standing next to us.

"Maui!" We both cried. He let out a laugh, walking over to us.

"You better come and visit kid! It's been nice knowing someone else who's got magical powers!"

"It was great knowing you too Maui, and both of you!" We all shared a group hug. Once we pulled away, Moana held up her hand,

"Here, I found this on me this morning. Figured you it'd match your collection." She handed me a medal, with herself on it.

"A Moana medallion..." I whispered. It hooked onto my keyblade, along with the other medals that I had equipped, "Thanks Moana, I'll keep it for as long as I can!" I waved goodbye to them and hopping onto my boat. Maui pushed me off, and I set sail out for Te Fiti. I gave one final small wave to the island as it grew smaller.
