Chapter 41: Chaos in Death City

Outside the haunted church three figures are standing in front of the church's crooked gate looking at the broken-down church.

The first is a teenage boy with black hair with white stripes on the left side of the hair, wearing a black suit with white symmetrical stripes as well as a white skull on the collar of a white shirt under the black suit, and black pants.

The second is a girl with semi-long dark blonde hair, dark blue eyes, wearing a red sleeveless top with a white tie showing her torso, dark blue jeans, black boots, silver bracelets, and a cowboy hat that's slant forward.

The third is another girl with short blonde hair, blue eyes, wearing the same red sleeveless top with a white tie showing her torso, puffy shorts, black boots, and a cowboy hat that's curved perfectly.

"Ugh, this church is disgusting! There's no symmetry whatsoever! It's garbage!" The boy said.

"Before you go destroying it, Kid, remember you chose to come here and investigate what's going on here." The first girl said.

"Yeah, because churches are supposed to be BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT! It's far from those things!" Kid said.

"But we're here now so, we should go in and we'll probably see some ghosts!" The second girl said.

"Yeah, let's not, Patty, okay?" The first girl said.

"I suppose we all agreed to come here, so fine. We shall go into this filthy church." Kid said.

"We made it!" A voice said.

"Huh?" First girl asked as they turn to see someone emerging from the dead trees.

"Oh, so we have enemies. Prepare yourselves, girls." Kid said.

"Here we go." The first girl said.

"Yay! I can't wait to kick butt!" Patty said as they transform into guns and they go for Kid's hands.

Emerging from the row of dead trees is Storm who goes for the gate.

"A yellow rat?" Kid asked as he kneels down to Storm.

"Pika?" Storm asked tilting his head.

"Such perfect form! Complete symmetry!" Kid said picking up Storm but then looks closely. "Wait…" Kid examines Storm's ears as his left ear is down while the right ear is up. "Left ear down, right ear up… YOU'RE ASYMMETRICAL! You're garbage!" Kid yelled shaking Storm.

"PIKACHU!" Storm shouted electrocuting Kid until he's covered with marks while the first girl and Patty revert back to their humanoid forms.

"Oh, HOW CUTE!" Patty exclaimed picking up Storm.

"Are you okay, Kid?" The first girl asked.

"That filthy asymmetrical rat just shocked me!" Kid yelled.

"Storm!" A voice called as someone emerges from the row of dead trees and it's Ky.

"Pika!" Storm said getting off Patty and goes for his master.

"There you are." Ky said.

"Wait, he owns that filthy animal?" Kid asked and then examines Ky's face. "Left eye, but no right eye… He's asymmetrical as well! No wonder that rat is like him!" Kid said.

"Give it a rest with that, Kid!" The first girl said.

"Huh? Who's he?" Ky asked.

"Ky!" A voice called as the others arrive.

"There you are. Why'd you run on ahead?" T.J. asked.

"Sorry, Storm took off in a hurry." Ky said.

"It looks like we're finally here at Death Church." Tails said looking at the haunted and ruined church.

"Finally. I was tired of trekking through that stupid forest." Soul said.

"We finally made it." Maka said.

"YES! See what happens when we got through because of me?" Black Star asked.

"Get the hell over yourself, ya blue haired dumbass!" Ken yelled.

"Why don't YOU shut up, white hair!" Black Star yelled.

"Guys, please calm down." Tsubaki said.

"Wait, Maka? Soul? Star? Tsubaki? You're here too?" The first girl asked.

"Oh, Liz! We didn't you, Pat, and Kid are here too." Maka said.

"Are they your friends, Maka?" Sora asked.

"You could say that." Maka said.

"Hi, everybody!" Patty said waving.

"Um, hello." Noel said.

"Sorry, let me introduce…" Liz was cut off.

"Not so fast! We must introduce with our pose!" Kid said.

"Right now…?" Liz asked.

"What pose?" Max asked.

"Don't ask him!" Shadow yelled.

Kid, the first girl, and Patty begin forming a line while making a pose with Kid kneeling while Patty spreads her legs to form a pose while Liz stands last and forms a different pose.

"I am Death the Kid, son of Lord Death. Grim Reaper and Gun Meister." Kid introduced.

"Patty Thompson! I'm Kid's weapon partner!" Patty introduced.

"Elizabeth Thompson, but call me Liz. I'm also a weapon partner for Kid." Liz introduced.

"Um, did you HAVE to pose like that?" Kiyo asked awkwardly.

"Trust me, Kid makes them do this just to show off." Maka said.

"Patty! Your posing posture is unacceptable! Your right leg is NOT matching your left leg! What did I tell you about symmetrical posture?!" Kid berated Patty.

"Oh, did I do it again?" Patty asked looking at her left leg.

"Symmetrical…? Why does that matter?" Murray asked.

"Lemme guess, he suffers from OCD." Elena said.

"OCD?" Goofy asked.

"Obsessive Compulsion Disorder. He's obsessed with things that are perfectly aligned and symmetrical." Elena said.

"Wow, she's smarter than she looks." Liz said.

"Trust me, we know." Zatch said.

"So, what are you doing out here?" Liz asked.

"Lord Death assigned us to come here. We're told that these monsters we haven't seen before, the Black Xetis, Heartless, Nobodies, and Haviks are killing people and taking their souls and hearts to that church." Maka said.

"Oh, right. We've heard of the recent attacks." Liz said.

"We even saw those mean monsters." Patty said.

"They're vile abominations and none of them have proper symmetry." Kid said.

"Did your daddy send you too or what?" Soul asked.

"Not exactly, but I'm gonna find that witch that controls them and teach them not to give the Grim Reaper a bad name." Kid said.

"That's why we're here." Liz said.

"Well, since we're here too, we might as well team up." Ky said.

"Team up with someone that has asymmetry?! I'd rather die." Kid said.

"Hey! Don't insult Ky like that! If anything, maybe YOU'RE asymmetrical!" Elena said making Kid tear up.

"You're right! I'm not perfect! I'm garbage! I deserve to die!" Kid cried while kneeling to the ground and pounding it with his fist.

"Damn, Elena." Ken said.

"That was harsh." Donald said.

"Oh, whatever. He needs to shut up about symmetry." Elena said.

"Hey, Kid. You're not garbage, but maybe you should apologize to the gold haired kid for making fun of him." Liz said.

"But he's garbage." Kid said.

"THAT'S IT! ELENA…STOMP!" Elena shouted stomping on Death's head putting it on the ground.

"She's very frightening." Tsubaki said.

"Uh-huh." T.J., Zatch, and Donald said fearfully.

"So…?" Noel asked.

"I agree with the teaming up thing. It'll make things easier." Liz said.

"Yay! We get to fight with new friends!" Patty cheered.

"Then in the church we go." Lucas said.

(Death Church-Crooked Gate)

(Field Theme: Church of the Damned)

(Information: Enter Death Church!)

The group go for the gate and Ky, Noel, and Sora use their Keyblades to unlock the gate making it open.

"That's amazing." Liz said.

"Amazing for garbage people." Kid said.

"WHAT?!" Elena demanded glaring at Kid.

"Forget him, Elena." Tsubaki said.

"The gate's opened, so we gotta hurry on in." Goofy said.

The group go through the gate but as they reach the ruined church they see a black magic barrier blocking the way to the doors.

"Are you serious?" Blaze asked.

"They obviously knew we were coming." Bentley said.

"Anyone got any ideas?" Max asked.

"Something is making that barrier. Maybe we should take a look and find something." Sly said.

"You can find it yourselves. My partners and I will stay here and keep an eye what happens out here, like those monsters." Kid said.

"Why? Afraid your perfect suit'll be ruined?" T.J. asked.

"Don't mock my clothing, kid!" Kid said.

"You're a kid too!" T.J. said.

"Let's go!" Ky said.

The group go back to the gate and while looking for a way Storm finds something which is a well.

"Pika." Storm said pointing at a well.

"A well?" Donald asked.

"Why'd he point there?" Soul asked.

"Maybe there's somethin' that might be useful." Goofy said.

"Well, in we go." Tails said as they go into the well.

(Death Church-Well)

The group are now in the well in a dank and dark hallway and they go through it until they find what looks like a ladder and so they climb up the ladder going up and leaving the well taking them somewhere else.

(Death Church-Secret Passage)

The group reach into a different area and are in a dark and ruined passage of the church.

"So, the well leads to a passage." Maka said.

"Maybe we'll find something useful to take down that barrier." Tsubaki said.

"Let the exploration begin." Sora said.

The group begin moving through the passage and while looking around they find what looks like a glowing dark purple and black crystal.

"That crystal doesn't look anything good." Lucas said.

"I think it might be connected to that barrier." Bentley said.

"And you might be right." Ky said.

Ky, Noel, and Sora start attacking the crystal with their Keyblades and later the crystal is destroyed creating black mist.

"Hopefully, it did something." Noel said.

Back outside the church the barrier starts disappearing.

"Bye-bye, barrier!" Patty said.

"Well, guess we can go in now." Kid said.

"Should we wait for them?" Liz asked.

"I rather go see if the inside is more perfect than wait for the asymmetrical gang." Kid said as he goes into the church and Liz sighs and they follow him.

Back at the passage the group watch the remains of the crystal disappear.

"With that crystal destroyed, we should go have a look at that barrier." Kiyo said.

"Good idea." Maka said.

The group leave the passage and return to the well and they later climb back up to reach the church gates and they go back for the ruined church to see the barrier gone.

"There goes the barrier." Shadow said.

"But what happened to Kid, Liz, and Patty?" Goofy asked.

"Screw Kid. We don't need him." Elena said.

"Yeah, remember, ya got me!" Black Star said.

"Screw you too." Ken said.

"They probably went on ahead. Let's go find them when we go in." Sly said as they go into the church.

(Death Church-Foyer)

The group are now in Death Church's foyer where they see many red glowing souls floating around the foyer while seats, stained glass windows, and walls are crumbled and broken while black candles are lit with purple flames.

"Here we are, finally." Soul said.

"Okay, this place is REALLY creepy." Lucas said.

"Those red glows are souls too, right…?" Noel asked.

"Yeah, so that should mean there were evil humans around here, but…" Maka stops talking.

"The Black Xetis, Heartless, Nobodies, and Haviks got to them too." Zatch said.

"But aren't they taken?" T.J. asked.

"Because we have no need for them. Only the innocent souls." A voice said as a dark corridor appears revealing the hooded Brotherhood member.

"Brotherhood!" Ky said as the group get ready to fight.

"I'd say it's nice to see you idiots again, but that'd be a lie." The hooded Brotherhood figure said removing the hood revealing his face and it's Jeal.

"Jeal…!" Noel said.

"Big shocker that you're part of the new Brotherhood." Ky said.

"Correct, for someone so stupid. I always live to serve Lord Malus' will." Jeal said.

"Why are you stealing the souls?! What are you planning?!" Maka demanded.

"And it better be a damn good answer too!" Soul said turning his left arm into his scythe blade.

"Well, you made it THIS far, so it'd be fair to give you a sneak peek." Jeal said snapping his fingers as many rusted black armored knights appear and surround the group.

"What the hell?!" Ken asked.

"Old knights?!" Shadow asked.

"These knights were dormant and unmovable, but by placing the souls we've stolen from the city, they're now nothing more than mindless moving puppets." Jeal said.

"You stole these innocent souls from Death City and plant them into these knights just to make them your slaves?!" Maka demanded.

"That's the sickest thing I've ever heard!" Elena yelled.

"Why are you doing this?!" Sora demanded.

"We're going to use these innocent souls as a way to bring forth the chaos that will destroy all of Death City and we'll be slaughtering more lives to take more souls. And as a bonus, we've decided to steal hearts as well to bring as an offering for our newest creation, to which if you survive this long, you'll meet soon enough." Jeal said.

"I can't believe you!" Ky yelled but a knight attacks him but Ky blocks the attack with his Keyblade.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, we have more soul to plant and make into our new minions. Have fun with your new playmates." Jeal said disappearing in his dark corridor.

"We can't let him do this!" Max said.

"Guess we have no choice but to fight." Murray said.

"Fine by me. Soul!" Maka said.

"Got it!" Soul said transforming into his scythe form.

"Tsubaki, ninja sword!" Black Star said.

"Right." Tsubaki said transforming into her sword form.

"Let's do this and be quick about it." Noel said.

(Battle Theme: Suffering Souls)

(Information: Defeat the possessed knights!)

The possessed knights attack with their swords while one of them swings its mace but Ky use Lethal Frame and stops time and then delivers powerful slashes while restarting time again as the knights take damage while Noel delivers four horizontal slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by casting Triple Plasma while Sora delivers two 360 slashes with Kingdom Key followed by speed slashes and then casts Balloon but the possessed knights slash with their swords while another knight swings its axe but Maka double attacks with her scythe followed by a flipping slash while Blaze delivers three flame kicks while Murray uses Tornado Punch but the possessed knights slam their axes and maces but Max blocks them with his shield and then uses Shield Missile while Lucky uses Headbutt while Lucas uses PK Freeze but the possessed knights spin slash with their swords but T.J. counters with triple slashes with his knife followed by a somersault slash while Donald casts Earth followed by casting Thunder but the possessed knights swing their swords while the other knights swing their maces but Shadow uses Chaos Control to stop time and then slashes with Chaos Daggers while Sly uses Cane Spin while Grace uses Dark Pule but the possessed knights attack with their axes but Goofy uses Goofy Charge while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Ken casts Gravity followed by casting Aero but the possessed knights attack with their maces and then slam them on the ground but Black Star delivers fast slashes with his ninja sword followed by a roundhouse slash while Bentley throws electric bombs while Tails unleashes Magic Hand and it delivers a punch but the possessed knights slam their axes while the other possessed knights slash with their swords but Elena unleashes magic blades and sends them to strike while Storm uses Volt Tackle and they defeat all the possessed knights as their armor fall part as nothing remains.

"This is awful." Noel said.

"I know. If they keep this up, then no one will be safe." Tsubaki said.

"We gotta find Jeal and Marluxia before they unleash more of those knights to destroy Death City. It'll be a disaster." Tails said.

"Right. Let's get movin'." Ky said and they nod.

As they start moving Lord Death watches them from his mirror in his office.

"Yes, and hurry you must. I shudder to think how those vile beings will have their way." Lord Death said.

The group start moving through the church's foyer to find a way to get further into the church and they find two doors on each wall.

"Where do you think these doors lead?" Donald asked.

"Probably to different rooms, but will they help us?" Maka asked.

"It'll be easy for me to figure this out." Black Soul said.

"Yeah, right." Ken said rolling his eyes.

"Maybe we should split into groups and go into these two different doors." Noel said.

"That's a brilliant idea, Noel." Bentley said.

"In that case, Ken, Tails, Blaze, Goofy, Kiyo and Zatch, T.J., Murray, Lucky, Storm, Black Star, and Tsubaki, you're with me." Ky said.

"Then, Elena, Shadow, Max, Grace, Lucas, Sly, Bentley, Donald, Maka, and Soul, you're with me and Sora." Noel said.

"Fine by me." Maka said.

"Whatever works." Soul said.

"We'll meet back here after we find something interesting." Tsubaki said.

The two teams split and go to the different doors.

(Death Church-East Corridor)

Ky's group arrive at the east corridor of Death Church and they start moving to find anything to help progress through the church but as they keep going they find Liz and Patty.

"Liz, Patty?" Tsubaki asked.

"Oh, hey, guys. You made it after all." Liz said.

"Good to see you're okay." Ky said.

"Uh, where'd Kid go?" Goofy asked.

"Oh, he had to go back home to see if his room is all neat and perfect." Liz said mildly annoyed.

Meanwhile in Kid's room Kid is examining his room.

"Everything must be perfect and symmetrical. It cannot be garbage!" Kid said still examining his room.

"That's classic Kid." Black Star said.

"Wait, we abandoned you?" Tails asked.

"It's fine. If something happens, one of us can turn into our weapon form while another of us can use each other." Liz said.

"Yeah, it's easy and fun!" Patty said.

"Still, that seems like a pretty douchey move for him to do." Ky said.

"Pika." Storm said nodding.

"So, what's going on?" Liz asked.

"The Brotherhood and the Organization are planning to use the innocent souls to create an army of possessed knights to destroy Death City." Blaze said.

"What?! We gotta do something about this." Liz said.

"Yay! We'll beat up the bad guys!" Patty said.

"You girls found anything interesting?" Kiyo asked.

"That's we're trying to do. With you guys here, maybe we'll find something." Liz said.

"Sounds fine to me." Zatch said.

"Let's do it." Ken said.

Ky's group continue to move through the east corridor to find anything and they later reach the end of the corridor and they find what looks like a dark purple and black crystal.

"Hey, look, it's the crystal we found at that there passage." Goofy said.

"Another one?" Zatch asked.

"That must mean there's another barrier blocking the way of something important." Ky said.

"You know what to do." Blaze said.

Ky starts attacking the crystal with Dawn of Hope while Ken bashes with his guitar while Tails shoots lasers from his blaster while Blaze shoots fireballs while Storm electric punches while Kiyo has Zatch shoot lightning bolts while Goofy bashes with his shield while Lucky uses Egg Roll while T.J. multi slashes with his knife while Murray double punches while Black Star has Tsubaki become a chained sickle and attacks while Patty transforms in her gun form as Liz uses Patty to fire bullets and after enough attacks the crystal shatters and disappears in black mist.

Back at the church foyer a barrier blocking a door on the upper side of the foyer disappears.

"Guess something happened. Let's head back." Ky said but he finds a door.

"A different door." Kiyo said.

"Where does this lead?" T.J. asked.

"One way to find out." Ky said as they go through the door.

(Death Church-West Corridor)

Noel's and Sora's group arrive at the west corridor of Death Church to find anything to help with their progression through the church and they later reach the end of the corridor where they find another dark purple and black crystal.

"Look, another crystal." Donald said.

"Guess that means there should be another barrier blocking the path to something." Noel said.

"Well, let's do something about it." Maka said.

Noel and Sora start attack the crystal with their Keyblades while Elena shoots magic bolts followed by casting Fire while Donald casts Blizzard while Grace tail whips while Max bashes with his shield while Lucas uses PK Flash while Shadow multi punches with Chaos infused energy while Sly attacks with his cane while Bentley throws bombs while Maka slashes with scythe and they destroy the crystal as it shatters and it disappears in black mist.

In a different room with stairs a barrier blocking a door disappears.

"That takes care of that." Elena said.

"Great." Sora said and he finds another door.

"Hey, a different door." Sly said.

"It should lead somewhere." Max said.

"Can't hurt to check." Maka said.

"What the hell." Soul said as they go for the door and go into a different room.

(Death Church-Back Room)

Ky's group arrive at a back room of Death Church and they find Noel's and Sora's group as well.

"Hey, you guys found something?" Ky asked.

"We found another crystal." Sora said.

"So did we?" Tails said.

"And now we're in a different room." Shadow said.

"Hey, a door over there." Max said pointing at the door.

"Let's go up." Noel said as they climb the stairs and open the door taking them somewhere else.

The group are back at the foyer but at the upper part of it and they start moving until they find a door.

"Where does this lead?" Lucas asked.

"I think we'll have our answer soon." Noel said opening the door taking them to a different area.

(Death Church-Spiral Room)

The group are in a different room of Death Church where they find a spiral staircase and so they start climbing up the spiral staircase and they find a ladder and start climbing it taking them to the next area.

(Death Church-Steeple)

The group are now in the church's steeple where they find Marluxia and Jeal.

"Well, I'm impressed you made it this far. Not bad at all." Marluxia said.

"You got nowhere to go, you assholes!" Ken yelled.

"Lord Malus' dreams will be realized. You, however, will not be able to stop us." Jeal said as they disappear in their dark corridors.

"Stop!" Maka yelled but they're gone.

"We have to go after them." Noel said.

"gO? yOu HaVe JuSt ArRiVeD!" A voice said and they turn to see the black and crimson bandaged Black Xeti sitting on a chair. "iT'S nOt EvErYdAy I gEt CoMpAnY." The bandaged Black Xeti said.

"Black Xeti!" Elena said.

"And it's talkin'." Goofy said.

"You must be this newest creation Jeal was talking about, right?" Noel asked.

"tOo ClEvEr! InDeEd I aM! wElL mEt, HeRoEs Of LiGhT. i HaVe BeEn ExPeCtInG yOu!" The bandaged Black Xeti said getting off the chair. "nOw ThAt YoU'rE hErE, iT's TiMe To PlAy A gAmE!" The bandaged Black Xeti said.

"What game?" Lucas asked.

"Whatever it is, we're NOT playing with you!" Sora yelled pointing Kingdom Key.

"You're gonna tell us where Jeal and Marluxia are going!" Shadow yelled.

"wElL, dId JeAl NoT mEnTiOn AbOuT cReAtInG cHaOs In DeAtH cItY? THeY aIm To StEaL mOrE sOuLs To CrEaTe An EvEn BiGgEr ArMy!" The bandaged Black Xeti said.

"That won't happen, you freak!" Maka yelled.

"We're sopping you right now!" Ky yelled.

"AnD tHaT iS wHeRe My GaMe CoMeS iN!" The bandaged Black Xeti said taking out two glass stained razor rings. "iT's A lItTlE gAmE i CaLl 'EnDlEsS tOrMeNt'!" The bandaged Black Xeti said.

"Fine, we'll play your sick game!" Soul said.

"And we're gonna win it!" Black Star said.

"Let the game start!" Sora said.

"cOmE, hErOeS!" The bandaged Black Xeti said.

(Boss Theme: Endless Torment)

"yOu'Re StRoNgEr ThAn I tHoUgHt. HoW aBoUt ThIs?" The mysterious Black Xeti said throwing its razor rings at the group.

As the rings go for the group shots attack the rings.

"Those throwing rings were not very symmetrical!" A voice said.

"Oh, God…" Elena said as Kid arrives as he's holding Liz and Patty in gun forms.

"Took you long enough, Kid." Maka said.

"My room was perfect after all. Now, I'll put this imperfect mummy in its place." Kid said.

"eXcElLeNt. ThE mOrE, tHe MeRrIeR! lEt ThE gAmE cOnTiNuE!" The mysterious Black Xeti said.

"Your game's gonna end soon, jackass!" Ken said.

"Had enough yet?" Ky asked.

"i CaN sEe YoU hErOeS hAvE sO mUcH pOwEr. I tHiNk ThIs CaLlS fOr SoMeThInG sPeCiAl." The mysterious Black Xeti said as its bandages start opening revealing dark mist.

"Now what's it doing?" Sora asked.

Lord Death watches as the mysterious Black Xeti begins to do something.

"Such a strong and powerful darkness. It looks like its going to do its desperation move." Lord Death said.

The dark mist scans the room looking for the perfect target and then it sees Ky who readies himself as the dark mist goes for Ky.

"Ky!" Elena cried.

"Oh, no!" Noel cried.

"Get off him!" Sora yelled running at the darkness which pushes him back.

Later the darkness spits Ky out.

"Ky, you okay?" Maka asked.

"I…think so…" Ky said as the darkness begins forming into what looks like a shadow and it looks like Ky.

"Are you freakin' serious?" Ken asked.

"A shadow…?" T.J. asked.

"hEhEhE! nOw ThIs, tHiS iS tRuE mAgIc! NoW yOu'Re FigHtInG yOuRsElF!" The mysterious Black Xeti said.

"Heh, as if I didn't fight my shadow self already! You're totally unoriginal!" Ky said.

"No matter what form you take, we can still take you." Maka said.

"tHeN, hOw AbOuT i FaCe ThE pRiNcE hImSeLf?" The mysterious Black Xeti asked.

"Bring it, freakshow!" Ky said.

The mysterious Black Xeti attacks Ky with its shadow version of Dawn of Hope but Ky blocks every attack and strikes back with two vertical slashes followed by a somersault slash but the myetsrious Black Xeti moves away and then throws the shadow Keyblade but Ky dodges and casts Triple Fire followed by casting Tidal Wave but the mysterious Black Xeti keeps slashing with its shadow Keyblade followed by a triple somersault slash but Ky blocks every attack and then delivers five slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by Lethal Blade and then uses Thunder Surge but the mysterious Black Xeti throws its shadow Keyblade all over and then attacks with its razor rings but Ky dodges out of the way and then uses Blizzard Raid followed by casting Aero but the mysterious Black Xeti throws its razor rings while attacking with its shadow Keyblade but Ky dodge rolls out of the way and then delivers three diagonal slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by Quake Hammer and then casts Spark but the mysterious Black Xeti delivers barrages with its shadow Keyblade and then slashes with its razor rings but Ky horizontal slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by unleashing light chains and finishes off the mysterious Black Xeti.

"hEhEhEhE…!" The mysterious Black Xeti laughs.

The shadow falls to the ground not moving while Ky is breathing heavily.

"You okay, Ky?" Sora asked.

"N-N…Never better…" Ky said grinning.

"I must admit, you're not bad for asymmet…" Kid was cut off.

"Say that again and I'll kick the crap out of you!" Elena threatened.

"Honestly, while that Black Xeti was nothing but trouble, I expected more from it." Tails said.

"Who cares, as long as its beaten. It'll vanish to darkness in no time." Donald said.

"Come on. We gotta get back to Death City and find Jeal and Marluxia." Maka said.

"Right!" Noel said as they start moving but Ky remains. "Ky?" Noel asked.

"Huh? Oh, yeah! Don't worry. I'm comin'." Ky said and Noel starts leaving but Ky forms a smirk on his face. "Hehehehe…" Ky said as looks at the fallen shadow again as it's going back to the bandages before he leaves joining the others.

Later the bandaged Black Xeti is now alone still on the ground until it starts to move.

"uH, mY hEaD… wHeRe Am I?" The bandaged Black Xeti asked looking around. "nOeL…? sOrA…? aNyOnE? wHy CaN't I sEe NoRmAlLy? Is My VisIoN bLuRrY?" The bandged Black Xeti asked and then looks at itself and examines its bandaged hands. "wAiT…" The shadow realizes. "hOlY CrAp! ThIs IsN't My BoDy!" The bandaged Black Xeti said. "wHeRe Is My BoDy?! WhErE'Re My FriEnDs?!" The bandaged Black Xeti asked as it stands up but limps for a bit. "uGh, I mUsT'vE hIt ThE bLAcK xEtI's BoDy PrEtTy BaDlY. i MeAn, ThIs BoDy. WhAtEvEr! I GoTtA fInD tHe OtHeRs!" The bandaged Black Xeti said.

(Information: Escape from Death Church and find your friends!)

The bandaged Black Xeti begins moving to leave the steeple and later returns to the spiral staircase room and then moves through the foyer.

"tHiS bOdY iS nOt WhAt I'm UsEd To… I gOtTa FiNd ThE oThErS sOoN!" The bandaged Black Xeti said moving through the foyer and then leaves Death Church.

The bandaged Black Xeti is now outside Death Church but then it sees smoke in the air.

"sMoKe? Oh, No! DeAtH CiTy'S uNdEr AtTaCk!" The bandaged Black Xeti said as it hurries for the forest of dead trees.

Meanwhile the group exit the forest of dead trees and return to the cemetery to hurry for Death City.

"You guys saw the smoke!" Goofy said.

"That means Death City's in trouble. They're already sendin' out those knights to attack and kill everyone!" Sly said.

"We gotta hurry and stop this!" Tsubaki said.

"Alright, let's go!" Black Star said.

"Yeah, let's…" Ky said smirking.

"Ky?" Elena asked.

"Huh? I'm okay." Ky said grinning and Elena smiles.

Meanwhile the bandaged Black Xeti starts moving through the forest of dead trees to find the others while avoiding enemies in its way and later it manages to get out of the forest and later returns to the cemetery.

"fInAlLy! NoW, tO fInD mY FriEnDs!" The bandaged Black Xeti said.

"Oh, you think it will be THAT simple, dear?" A voice asked and the Black Xeti turns to see Hilda.

"hIlDa!" The bandaged Black Xeti said with hate.

"Hello, Prince Virtus, we meet again. It's been a while, hasn't it?" Hilda asked.

"i WaS hOpInG nOt To SeE yOuR AnNoYiNg AsS fAcE!" Ky yelled.

"My, my, such rudeness. I just wanted to see you after our last encounter in the Prison Worlds. By the way, congratulations to your status as Keyblade Master, but what has ever happened to you?" Hilda asked.

"sPaRe Me YoUr CrAp, BiTcH! i HaVe A FeElInG yOu WeRe ReSpOnSiBlE fOr ThIs!" Ky yelled.

"You're right. A what Jeal has said, we're using these souls to create a perfect army to bring chaos and destroy all of Death City and what's more, you remember what Marluxia said about when arriving at Death Church, you would be faced with an unpleasant tormenting event?" Hilda asked.

"wHaT aBoUt It?!" Ky demanded.

"That's just the thing." A voice said as Jeal appears. "THIS is your torment, Prince." Jeal said.

"wHaT?!" Ky asked shocked.

"That's right. No doubt you've been wondering why you're trapped in our Black Xeti's bandages and not your own body and where your body is. You've just been met with a curse. Our Black Xeti has the ability to become anyone, but to REALLY be someone, it must use a spell to steal someone's name AND body." Hilda said.

"wAiT…" Ky remembers as the Black Xeti's dark mist goes for him and becomes a shadow version. "sO tHaT mEaNs… AfTeR mY fIgHt AgAiNsT tHaT fReAkShOw, I fElT lIkE i WaS bEiNg SuCkEd InTo SoMeThInG! iT mUsT'Ve UsEd A sPeLl To SwAp PlAcEs WiTh Me WhEn I dElIvErEd ThE fInAl AtTaCk!" Ky said.

"Looks like you're more than just a brat. Now your body and name belong to our Black Xeti now and it's with your friends as we speak. What's more, they have no idea you're not with them." Jeal said.

Just then Ky sees more smoke.

"cRaP! dEaTh CiTy!" Ky said.

"Oh, I'm certain your friends can handle it, but what would happen if YOU tried to help?" Hilda asked.

"dAmN yOu!" Ky yelled running through the cemetery.

"While you're busy trying and failing to defend the city, there's something you should know as well about Maka." Jeal said stopping Ky.

"oH? aNd WhAt'S tHaT?" Ky said.

"I'm sure you've noticed that Maka is the light of this world. You've encountered Faust before and I'm sure you're not stupid enough to remember his words?" Jeal asked.

"wAiT, yOu DoN't MeAn…" Ky stops talking as he remembers what Faust said. "yOu'Re SaYiNg ThAt MaKa CoUlD bE aNoThEr OnE oF ThOsE nEw TeN hErOeS?" Ky said.

"It's possible. Let's see how far you'll go to protecting her light and keeping her safe." Jeal said.

"Now, little prince, run and try to undo the curse that's unbreakable." Hilda said and Ky runs off for Death City.

Meanwhile at Death City as the streets are in chaos as possessed knights are attacking and killing many people who try to run while Black Xetis, Heartless, Haviks, and Nobodies also attack and kill more people the group arrive and watch the chaos.

"This is bad!" T.J. said.

"This needs to stop!" Noel said.

"Right!" Sora said.

(Information: Defeat the possessed knights!)

The possessed knights swing their swords at the group but Noel casts Stop and then delivers five slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by a graceful twirling slash while Sora uses Aero Edge followed by Quick Blitz but the possessed knights throw their axes while more possessed knights swing their maces but Maka slashes with her scythe while Elena casts Thunder Shot followed by casting Meteor while Lucas uses PK Thunder but the possessed knights slam their swords on the ground while more possessed knights bash their maces but Goofy blocks the attacks with his shield and then uses Goofy Charge while T.J. somersault slashes with his knife but the possessed knights swing their axes while more knights spin slash with their swords but Shadow uses Chaos Rift while Sly uses Insanity Strike to make the knights attack each other but the possessed knights double slash with their swords while the other possessed knights slam their axes but Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Storm unleashes streams of electricity while Black Star has Tsubaki become a chained sickle and attacks with it but the possessed knights swing their maces and then slam but Max uses Shield Missile while Tails shoots lasers from his blaster but the possessed knights throw their swords all over but Donald casts Duck Flare followed by casting Crystal while Grace uses Growl but the possessed knights double swing with their axes but Blaze uses Fire Tornado while Lucky uses Egg Throw but the possessed knights triple slam their maces but Kid shoots shots with both his guns while Murray uses Tornado Punch while Ken unleashes magic music fists while Bentley shoots electric darts and they defeat all the possessed knights as they fall apart.

"At this rate, we've got a lot to do." Tsubaki said.

"Has anyone seen Ky?" Elena asked looking around.

"He's not here?" Maka asked.

"Did anyone find him a little…strange recently?" Donald asked.

"I dunno… Should we look for him?" Sora asked.

"Ky can handle himself. He can find us. Right now, we have to protect this city." Shadow said.

"Shadow's right. I'm sure Ky's also handling the situation." Sly said.

Meanwhile in a different part of Death City where more possessed knights are attacking and killing people Ky arrives and sees the chaos.

"tHiS iS wOrSe ThAn I tHoUGhT! i GoTtA dO SoMeThInG!" Ky said.

"Oh, and what can YOU do in that body?" A voice said and Ky sees his body on the roof of a building and then jumps off to confront him. "So, your name's Ky or Prince Virtus? That's a great name! And hey! This body's really light and moveable too! I can actually FEEL something!" Ky's body said slapping itself. "This so fun! I don't think I ever wanna stop!" Ky's body said.

"eNoUgH wItH yOuR cRaP! gIvE mE mY bOdY bAcK!" Ky yelled.

"Sorry, I can't. I'm sure you already know of the curse I gave you! After that fight, I used my special spell that not only can I be anyone, but I can STEAL their names and bodies too! This was the perfect trap and what's more, your stupid friends don't even know a thing! I think it'll be fun taking your place!" The Black Xeti said.

"nOt If I FiNd OuT hOw To StOp YoU!" Ky yelled taking out Dawn of Hope.

"Hehehehe! You may still have your Keyblade, loser, but you're not used to that body, but I managed to handle it quite fine!" The Black Xeti said taking out its razor rings.

(Boss Theme: Endless Torment)

(Information: Stop the Black Xeti and take back your body!)

The Black Xeti makes Ky's body cartwheel around and then throws its razor rings at Ky who tries to but takes damage but Ky casts Cure on himself and then triple slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by casting Spark but the Black Xeti makes Ky's body backflip and then delivers a lunging attack and then double slashes with its razor rings followed by a ballet style spinning slash but Ky blocks the attacks and then vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a blade stand kick and then casts Deep Freeze but the Black Xeti moves around and then slashes with one of its razor rings and then throws its second razor ring but Ky moves and then diagonal slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by Blizzard Raid sending Ky's body back.

"Ugh, I'll admit, you're still good while in a bunch of bandages." The Black Xeti said.

"tElL mE hOw To BrEaK tHe DaMn CuRsE!" Ky yelled.

"I'll never tell you!" The Black Xeti said as they charge again.

Meanwhile the group continue to move through Death City to find any more possessed knights that are still killing people and they later arrive somewhere else.

(Downtown Death City-West District)

The group arrive at the west part of Death City where they find more possessed knights.

"Hey, dumbasses in armor!" Ken called.

"Wanna kill something? Try us!" Soul said as the knights go for the group.

"They took it!" Patty said.

"Now's our chance!" Tails said.

The possessed knights begin to attack at the group but Sora uses Lethal Frame while Noel uses Dancing Blade but the possessed knights swing their maces to attack but Maka spin slashes with her scythe while Elena uses Spell Weaver while Ken casts Magma followed by casting Balloon but the possessed knights slam their axes to attack but Donald casts Telekinesis followed by casting Gravity while Goofy uses Goofy Turbo but the possessed knights spin attack with their swords but Max uses Cyclone while T.J. multi slashes with his knife while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Lucas uses PK Flash but the possessed knights throw their maces to attack but Tails throws ring bombs while Blaze slashes with flame blades while Shadow uses Chaos Spears but the possessed knights double attack with their axes but Black Star has Tsubaki become a shuriken and throws it all over the room while Storm uses Volt Tackle while Grace uses Dark Pulse while Lucky uses Ground Pound but the possessed knights spin attack with their maces but Kid fires many shots from his guns while Sly uses Dive Attack while Bentley sends out droids to attack while Murray uses Flame Punch and they defeat all the possessed knights.

"More knights taken down." Liz said.

"But still, where's…" Elena was cut off as fighting is happening.

"A fight?" Maka asked.

"It sounds serious." Lucas said.

"Should we go see?" Max asked.

"Could be more of those knights again." Blaze said.

"You can investigate what's going on. I'll stay behind and deal with those asymmetrical garbage knights!" Kid said.

"A long as we're protecting the city." Liz said.

"Yay!" Patty said.

"Star and I will also stay behind and make sure everyone else is okay." Tsubaki said.

"I mean, with me around, how hard can it be?" Black Star asked.

"Okay. Just meet us back." Sora said as they start moving.

Meanwhile Ky continues to have his fight against his own body but despite putting up a decent fight the Black Xeti in Ky's body manages to push him back.

"Hehehehe! Give up, brat! You might've taken down my brethren, but now I'm gonna finish you off right here, right now!" The Black Xeti said.

"Ky?" A voice asked and they see the group arriving.

"Guys! There you are! That Black Xeti's back and it's trying to kill me." The Black Xeti said.

"How's it still here?" Donald asked.

"wAiT! tHaT's NoT kY! hE's TrIcKiNg yOu!" Ky said.

"Nice try, ya stupid bastard!" Ken said readying his guitar.

"Yeah, let's finish him off!" Soul said turning his arm into his scythe blade.

Elena looks closely at the bandaged Black Xeti and sees Dawn of Hope.

"Wait, that's Ky's Keyblade!" Elena said.

"Yeah… So that means…" Noel stops talking.

"i'M kY! tHaT bLaCk XeTi CaSt A sPeLl AnD sToLe My BoDy!" Ky said.

"What?!" The group asked shocked.

"Damn!" The Black Xeti said.

"When did THAT happen?! You were totally beaten when taking Ky's form." T.J. said.

"Well, cat's out of the bag, so I'll just say it. When Ky managed to deliver the final blow, I cast my special spell and now I have your stupid prince's body. I have the ability to be anyone I want, but to REALLY be someone, I have to steal his name and body too. Now Ky's nothing but bandages." The Black Xeti said.

"You…BASTARD!" Elena shouted casting a fireball at Ky's body who backflips away.

"Whatever Black Xeti you are, give Ky's body back!" Sora yelled.

"Sorry, I can't. You have no way of breaking the curse." The Black Xeti said as it makes Ky's body leave.

"What a stupid Black Xeti!" Sly said.

"Ky, are you okay?" Zatch asked.

"nO… tHaT sTuPiD aSsHoLe HaS mY IdEnTiTy. If I dOn'T gET mY bOdY bAcK, i'M sCrEwEd! WhAt CaN i Do?" Ky asked.

"It'll be okay. Least we figured out what happened." Goofy said.

"As if Death City isn't in a terrible state already." Maka said.

"So, what can we do?" Murray asked.

"Hold on." Maka said finding a window and breathes on it and writes 42-42-564 and then Lord Death appears. "Hi, Lord Death." Maka said.

"Ah, Maka, good to see you in once piece as usual. How's everything going?" Lord Death asked.

"Well, we're still working on handling this crisis going on, but now something bad has happened to Ky." Maka said.

"Oh, yes. I saw that as well. That Black Xeti not only became a shadow version, but now it has the poor boy's body." Lord Death said.

"You knew and didn't bother telling us?" Kiyo asked.

"You were going to figure that out anyway." Lord Death said.

"Well, do you have any ideas? We promised to help however we can, but Ky's our friend and we really want…" Noel stops talking.

"Don't you worry now. There's always a way to undo a curse. My suggestion is to retrace your steps. Finding a clue is essential." Lord Death said.

"Retrace our steps…" Sora said thinking.

"Oh! I got it! Thanks, Lord Death." Maka said.

"What do you have?" Lucas asked.

"Maybe there is a way to help Ky. We should go back to Death Church." Maka said.

"You think we'll find a clue there?" Noel asked.

"It's possible." Maka said.

"Okay, that's fine, but we can't just leave Death City in its current state. Sure Black Star and Kid are capable, but they're…" Elena stops talking.

"Yeah, I know. Can some of you help them deal with this?" Maka asked.

"Hey, yeah. Noel, Sora, you guys go with Maka and Ky back to Death Church and find whatever clue you can find." Tails said.

"Meanwhile, we'll stay behind and help Black Star and Kid take care of the Black Xetis, Heartless, Haviks, Nobodies, and those possessed knights." Bentley said.

"That sounds like a reasonable plan." Shadow said.

"In that case, we'll do it." T.J. said.

"I'm going too!" Elena said.

"rEaLlY?" Ky asked.

"Yes. No matter form you have, you're always Ky and I always believe you with my heart." Elena said.

"tHaNkS, eLeNa. I'm GlAd YoU kNeW iT wAs Me." Ky said.

"Well, it's settled. Back to Death Church. We'll get your body back in no time, bud!" Sora said.

"Good luck!" Donald said.

"You too." Noel said.

(Information: Return to Death Church!)

"We have to go back to Death Church to find anything to help Ky." Noel said.

"We can do it no problem." Sora said.

Ky, Noel, Sora, and Maka make their way through the city while dealing with Black Xetis, Heartless, Haviks, and Nobodies in their way and they later return to the cemetery and they later go back to the forest of dead trees to make their way back to Death Church but as they go through the forest Wight Knight Heartless appear and attack but Noel and Sora attack with their Keyblades while Elena casts Thunder while Maka slashes with her scythe and they keep going through the forest of dead trees and later they leave the forest and return to Death Church's gate.

"Finally, back at the church." Elena said.

"Now, to find something, anything." Sora said but then a dark corridor appears revealing Marluxia.

"At this point, it's pointless." Marluxia said.

"Get the hell outta our way!" Elena yelled.

"That Black Xeti you fought has stolen the Prince of Light's body. The curse is unbreakable." Marluxia said.

"You're wrong. There's ALWAYS a way to break a curse." Noel said.

"And we'll find it!" Sora yelled.

"Hmph, then by all means, best of luck in finding what you're looking for, but keep in mind, as long as the Black Xeti still has Prince Ky's body, there's no protecting Death City." Marluxia said.

"We'll see about that, Pink hair!" Maka yelled as Marluxia disappears in his dark corridor.

"Where do we start?" Noel asked.

"We'll be turning the church upside-down to find anything useful." Soul said.

"Why not going down the well. Remember that passage?" Elena said.

"hEy, YeAh! It'S oUr BeSt ShOt At ThIs PoInT." Ky said.

"Good enough for me." Sora said.

"To the well." Maka said.

The group go for the well and they climb down taking them back to the dank and dark hallway and they start climbing up the next ladder taking them back to the secret passage.

"So, where can we look?" Sora asked.

"Anywhere." Noel said.

The five begin searching the passage for anything and while exploring Maka finds what looks like a shelf which begins moving on its own.

"Okay, a moving shelf." Maka said as the moving shelf reveals a hole.

"A hole. Where does that lead?" Sora asked.

"We're getting our answer." Elena said as they go into the hole taking them to a different room of the passage where there are books everywhere.

"This room looks very peculiar." Maka said.

"Where are we gonna find somethin' useful here?" Soul asked.

"Anything is worth a try." Noel said.

The five explore the room of books and while looking around Elena finds something on the ground and it's a black and crimson book and it has a strange symbol on it.

"This book…" Elena said opening the book.

"What'd you find, Elena?" Maka asked.

"Oh, my God! Guys, listen to this." Elena said as she starts reading. "'A magical curse that is created by an evil witch with an ability to become anyone she wants, but in order for her to really be someone, she must take her victim's body and name. The witch has been using that curse to do whatever she wanted and almost managed to get away with it, until her soul was taken. Those, who have discovered this book would have the desire to learn this ability, but be forewarned, as this curse may seem unbreakable, but there is a way to break the curse. In order for the spell to be undone, the victim must first learn and discover the name of the one, who has used this spell. Once the name is discovered and mentioned in front of the user, the spell gets weak and it can break. There is no easy task, however, as the user's name is normally hidden by the users themselves'." Elena read the book.

"So we have to find out the Black Xeti's name? Don't we normally know their names?" Sora asked and just then Jiminy comes out.

"That's right! Not only do Tails and Bentley have their names. So do I, but as you fought that Black Xeti, I couldn't get its name in my journal." Jiminy said.

"Not even on our Gummiphones…" Noel said.

"Ugh, we'll REALLY have to turn this church upside-down to find this bastard's name." Soul said.

"We don't have time to be finding its name." Sora said.

"aT tHiS rAtE, i'Ll Be StUcK lIkE tHiS fOrEvEr." Ky said in despair but Noel comforts him.

"It's okay, Ky. We'll find a way." Noel said.

"So, since this book was discovered here, there's no doubt that Black Xeti's name is hidden here somewhere." Elena said.

"Should we check out the steeple?" Maka asked.

"That's our lead. Obviously, they were hiding it somewhere." Elena said.

"Hurry to the steeple." Noel said.

The five leave the passage and return through the well and then they return to the church gates and they go for foyer of Death Church and they later go for the east corridor taking them to the next door and they arrive at the back room taking them to back to the upper part of the foyer and they later return to the spiral staircase where they climb upstairs and they return to the steeple.

"Okay. Let's see where that jerk's hiding its name." Sora said.

As the five explore the steeple they find something behind the chair and it's a chest.

"Now the moment of truth." Elena said as Noel and Sora open the chest revealing something known as 'Dolus'.

"Dolus?" Sora asked.

"tHaT's ThE bLaCk XeTi'S nAmE?" Ky said.

"That's stupid." Soul said.

"Whatever. We got the name and now we've just to say it in front of him." Elena said.

"Back to Death City." Maka said.

"Hold on. We're not going all the way back through the forest. Gather round." Elena said as she uses her magic to teleport the group out of the steeple.

Meanwhile at Death City the group are still fighting the Black Xetis, Heartless, Haviks, and Nobodies while also dealing with possessed knights.

"Whatever they're doin' at Death Church, I hope they hurry the hell up." Ken said.

"They'll be back. I know it." T.J. said.

Just then the five teleport back to the city and they find the group.

"There you are." Donald said and Noel, Sora, Elena, and Maka help defeat the enemies.

"Did you guys find a way to break the spell?" Bentley asked.

"Yes and now we have to find that bastard." Elena said.

"Did you see him?" Noel asked.

"He's somewhere in the city." Kiyo said.

"Or right here!" A voice said as they see the Black Xeti.

"Heh, you saved us the trouble of lookin' for you!" Sora said.

"Let me guess, you're trying to find a way to break the curse. Well, tough luck, because you can't break it." The Black Xeti said.

"Oh, really? That's not that book told us." Elena said.

"Wh-What book?" The Black Xeti asked.

"We found that book and you used it to help with your changing shape, right?" Maka asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" The Black Xeti said.

"What book?" Tails asked.

"We can see your nervousness and we know who you are!" Noel said.

"Lies! Nobody knows my name! You don't know!" The Black Xeti said.

"Ky?" Sora asked.

"wE kNoW wHo YoU aRe, DoLuS!" Ky said making the body shocked.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAT! How did you KNOW my name?! I had it HIDDEN the whole time! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! Damn you!" Dolus yelled as it makes Ky's body run.

"It's getting away!" Max said.

"No it's not!" Elena said as they run after it.

The group chase after Dolus who is still running away through the city while having Witch Black Xetis attack the group defeat the Black Xetis and keep chasing after Ky's body through the city until it reaches the forest of dead trees.

"It's going back to Death Church." Zatch said.

"Then so are we." Elena said using her magic to teleport the group out.

Dolus escapes through the forest of dead trees and later returns to Death Church's gate and returns to the foyer.

"Damn them! They figured me out!" Dolus said.

"You couldn't even keep it well hidden." A voice said and Dolus sees Jeal.

"That doesn't matter. The curse is weak, but I still have the Prince of Light's body. I can do whatever I want with it." Dolus said.

"Regardless, you've served your purpose. Whether you live or be destroyed is no longer Lord Malus' concern." Jeal said.

"But I have one of their bodies! Death City is in chaos! Do I mean nothing to Lord Malus?" Dolus asked.

"Our purpose is serving his ends, nothing more. If we are useless, then we have nothing to live for. You've played your part well so if the Virtues and Guardians rid this world of you, then so be it." Jeal said disappearing in his dark corridor.

"Lord Malus, I am a faithful servant! I've done what you have wanted." Dolus said.

Just then the group return to the church foyer and confront Dolus.

"Nowhere to run now, you bastard!" Ken said.

"This is your last warning! Give back Ky's body or else!" Shadow said.

"Ugh, could you goody-goodies be more irritating?! You're so stubborn following me all the way here and for what? A body of a stupid brat? You know what, fine! This is no longer fun! Now, I'm deadly serious! Here's what I gonna do, I'll kill all of you, deliver your hearts to Lord Malus and Master Xehanort and then continue being in this brat's meatsack until I grow bored of it and burn it to ashes!" Dolus said summoning his razor rings.

"I have a better idea, we're gonna beat the ever-loving crap outta you until Ky gets his body back and you vanish forever!" Elena said as the group get ready to fight.

"So that's how you want it, huh? Fine! This is your last game!" Dolus said.

"Ky, you should stay back and let us deal with this freakshow." Sora said.

"fInE, bUt DoN't HoLd BaCk On My BoDy." Ky said.

"Time to die!" Dolus said.

(Boss Theme: Endless Torment)

"No, no, no, NO!" Dolus shouted as he falls to the ground.

With Ky's body on the ground a bright light occurs and as the light dissipates Ky's body starts waking up.

"Ky…?" Noel asked.

"Please tell me you're back…" Elena said.

Ky looks at himself and finds he's back in his own body.

"I'm back in the…GAME!" Ky cheered but stumbles for a bit. "Ugh, you guys pack a punch." Ky said.

"Sorry…" Goofy said.

"Nah, I told you not to hold back." Ky said as he casts Cure on himself. "Thanks a bunch, guys!" Ky said

"Don't mention it." Maka said.

Behind the group Dolus who is now back to being its bandages and is covered in darkness.

"dAmN yOu, PrInCe Of LiGhT! mY rOlE mAy HavE eNdEd, BuT yOu'Ve YeT tO sUfFeR mUcH wOrSe!" Dolus said as he disappears in dark mist and is destroyed.

"Stupid asshole." Ky said.

"That'll teach it." Sora said.

"Dolus is right, you know." A voice said and they see Jeal.

"Not you again!" Donald yelled.

"The feeling is mutual. Anyway, you may have ended the chaos in Death City, but you've yet to suffer Lord Malus' true power. By the time Armageddon of Light and Darkness starts, you will all suffer a grand fate that will await you. If you thought having your body stolen was bad, Prince Virtus, you're gonna see TRUE torment!" Jeal said as he disappears in his dark corridor.

"Yeah, and we'll look forward to that." Ky said.

It's a new day in Death City and the group go with Maka and Soul to DWMA.

"What exactly did Jeal mean by true torment?" Lucas asked.

"I dunno, but it's never a good thing." T.J. said.

"NOTHING good ever comes from the Brotherhood and the Organization." Shadow said.

"Hey, guys. I wanna say thanks for helping out. Thanks to you, we've managed to save the surviving souls and we even got the evil souls from the church." Maka said.

"It was nothing." Ky said.

"We were glad to help." Noel said.

"C'mon, let's go talk to Death so we can get our result." Soul said.

The group arrive at DWMA and they head for Lord Death's office and they arrive at the office where they find Black Star, Tsubaki, Kid, Liz, and Patty.

"Took you long enough to get here." Kid said.

"Yeah, I got here earlier than you!" Black Star said.

"Shut the hell up, dumbass!" Ken yelled but Elena stomps on both of them.

"BOTH of you shut up!" Elena yelled.

"That's quite a stomp you have, Elena." Lord Death said in his mirror. "Anyway, I am pleased to inform that you all have performed greatly. Thanks to you, Death City is rid of those horrid monsters and the remaining souls are saved." Lord Death said.

"So, we passed?" Maka asked.

"Correct, Maka. You all have passed this test." Lord Death said and he turns to the group. "As for you, you have been a big help to my students and my son so you all deserve a pass as well." Lord Death said.

"Thanks, but we're not your students." Sora said.

"Still, you've done well. Not to mention, those despicable characters are no longer in the city." Lord Death said.

"Good." Donald said.

"But they're still on the loose somewhere." Bentley said.

"It's why we can't stay here." Ky said.

"You have to leave?" Tsubaki asked.

"Awwwww! But I want to know you guys more!" Patty whined.

"If they have something to do, then we can't stop them." Liz said.

"Still, you're all welcome to visit DWMA anytime. Perhaps there are students that might want to learn from you." Lord Death said.

"We'd love to come visit again." Ky said.

"Yeah, we'll stop by whenever." Sora said.

"You guys wanna see your guys Black Star, I'll be more than honored." Black Star said.

"I hope you guys accomplish with what you're doing." Maka said.

"I hope so too." Noel said.

"Well, time to go again." Tails said.

"Yeah, take care, guys." Ky said as they leave the office as Maka, Tsubaki, and Patty wave goodbye while Soul gives a small wave while Kid looks away while Liz also small waves while Black Star waves with both hands and the group wave back and leave the office.

As the group begin leaving Death City to continue Ky stops.

"Ky?" Noel asked.

"Now what's wrong?" Zatch asked.

"Guys, after Dolus stole my body and I was trying to find you, Jeal mentioned that Maka is the light of this world." Ky said.

"No…! Then that means…" Bentley stops talking.

"Yeah, she could be one of those New Ten Heroes, like Faust mentioned about Asta and Yuno." Ky said.

"Then, I guess that means we'd better make sure the Brotherhood and the Organization won't get near her." Sora said.

"Don't worry. Whatever they're planning with them, they're not getting their way." Noel said.

"Yeah. Let's go." Ky said as they start moving.

Meanwhile in a different world Pax and Oswald are now in what looks like a village while walking past many people.

"This world seems new to us. You sure about coming here?" Oswald asked.

"I felt a light in this world. I dunno if it's one of New Seven Hearts Peach mentioned or something else. Whatever it is, we'd better find it before the Brotherhood and Organization can." Pax said.

"Okay, but do you have any idea where that light is?" Oswald asked.

"Sorry, but no. I'm sure we'll find it, but we gotta keep going while staying out of trouble. I even have a gut feeling that Ky, Noel, and Sora will be waiting for us here." Pax said.

"I'm sorry, but did you mention 'Ky'?" A voice said.

"Who's there?" Pax said taking out Path to Justice while Oswald takes out his sword and shield.

"Show yourself." Oswald said.

"Hey, no need to be hostile. You just mentioned Ky and I happen to know him." The voice said.

"Where the hell are you?" Pax asked.

"Over here." The voice said and they see a boy with green eyes, messy blond hair, wearing a white shirt with a black bar suit, black shoes, and red tie.

"A kid?" Pax asked.

"Who are you?" Oswald asked.

"You could say I was the one with Ky in the Prison Realms. You know him too?" The boy asked.

"Yeah, Ky's my friend." Pax said.

"In that case, follow me. I know a place where no one will suspect you guys, not even your enemies. Also, not every day I get to talk about Ky and you said he'd be here?" The boy asked.

"That's what I'm feeling, but…" Pax was cut off as the boy grabs his wrist.

"C'mon! Let's go." The boy said dragging Pax through the village.

"H-Hey! Slow down!" Pax said.

"That kid knows Ky? How? Guess we'll get our answer." Oswald said as he follows them through the village.
