Don't bother. Your voice can no longer reach him where he is. His heart belongs again to darkness! All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it, it grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came! You see, darkness is the heart's true essence.

(A few hours ago with Sora)
"Now here's the plan Tink." Sora calmly spoke to the fairy he summoned. "I can honestly say without a shadow of doubt, we'll need you today for the battles that we're about to face." The little fairy shimmied around him and Tinkered as if greatly concerned. Sora laughed it off and smiled reassuringly.
"Hey now don't give me that face, Whatever happens at least you'll be able to give whoever falls one more chance at life. But as a result, my MP will be depleted and i'll most likely have to rely solely on my Ki and physical endurance as a result." The little blonde woman puffed her cheeks cutely not at all happy with his plan. as Sora's gaze softened. "Tinkerbell...If anything bad truly does happen and you save one of my friends...Thank you, from the bottom of my heart."
Tinkerbell couldn't help but blush puffing her cheeks more, Why did these brown haired pure hearted boys have to rile her up so. "Sora! it's time to meet Dende." Gohan called happily at the chance to see all their friend again.
"Okay! i'll be right there!" Sora smiled at Tinkerbell and broke into one of his usual grins. "Remember, stay hidden! and when you see someone who can't get back up, you help them!" Tinkerbell saluted her friend as she shot off behind him and his crew easily staying hidden in the white flames the team offered.
Pixie Dust was a much more beautiful form of flight in her opinion.
(Back to the Present)
"Kr-Krillin! But how! I saw what Frieza did to you back there, there was no way you should still be alive!" Gohan freaked out although he was greatly relieved the man was okay given the fact he was crying while hugging him.
"It's kinda hard to explain honestly." The Monk began while rubbing the back of his head. "Remember how we thought Dende was dead?" Gohan's eyes widened as he heard the next words. "Well he never actually died from Vegeta's attack."
"But we saw him get hit directly by that attack! It should have left him scorched if not at death's door!" Gohan exclaimed before having his mouth clamped shut by Krillin who gave him a warning look. Carefully Krillin led Gohan to a hidden area in the small Island they were on, a familiar Green child greeted them with the addition of an unconsious friend.
"Sora..." Gohan couldn't help but notice the bad shape his friend was in and crouched beside him. Sora seemed to be pale, very much so from the looks of things. The wound from Frieza's fatal attack seemed to be mending well under the mystical glow of Dende's palms. Gohan was just able to make out the steady breaths of the hero of light putting his previous fears to rest.
"Don't worry about him Gohan, Sora will be up and running if we buy him some time to recover." Krillin reassured the child, who observed the scene with sadness prominent in his eyes and gave a reserved nod. Sora was healing right now and when they needed him most, the boy knew he'd be there.
Sora's breathing seemed to calm, although his eyes seemed to be darting about underneath his eyelids. Dende heaved a small sigh. "It's done..." Krillin frowned and eyed Dende.
"Then why isn't he awake yet?" The monk inquired toward the nervous Namekian child who quickly shook his head mode then a little scared of the other worlders, especially after witnessing both Frieza's and Vegeta's horrifying strength and ruthlessnenss.
"I-I don't know... I'm sorry." Dende teared up causing Krillin to wince as he felt Gohan shoot him a glare before moving to comfort his green friend.
"Hey hey, Don't cry" Krillin tried placating the little alien. "I'm sorry if I scared you, i'm just super worried about our friend right now. This whole situation just seems... Hopeless ya know." Krillin looked down not meeting the gaze of the two children on him. "Right now we need to buy some time for Piccolo to arrive here, apparently we should have been more specific about the area of arrival."
Gohan stood up ready for action. "Don't you worry Krillin, we'll be able to handle Frieza long enough for the others to recover and join us. I can feel it, Right here." Gohan smiled as he patted directly where his heart was causing Krillin to chuckle and give him a fond grin.
"You've been hanging out with Sora way to much kid." Krillin stated amused as he turned back gazing from the safety of the rock overhead. He could just make out Frieza and frowned deeply as he saw the pure rage on the lizard mans face. "We can't stand by waiting for a miracle to happen, we need to get out there and make it happen."
Gohan felt his heart clench as he tore his gaze away from the fallen form of Sora. Over the course of the month they had known each other he had grown to be a big brother and a role model towards him. As much as it pained him to just turn his back on their injured friend they had a job to do, and that was to make sure they survived this duel to the death with the Emperor.
"Right!" Gohan exclaimed his determination back tenfold as he fixed his stance just like Piccolo taught him. "Piccolo should be headed here as we speak anyway so we've already got some back-up on the way!" Krillin grinned at that and high fived the boy.
"Operation stall for our friends is a go!" Gohan and Krillin exclaimed readily as they shot off into the sky at staggering speeds.
Unknown to them their was a tornado of turmoil brewing inside of their fallen friends mind. Dende looked worried and just barely managed to hold Sora down when he cried out and jerked upwards as if violently struck. He began to groan and sweat purfusely in an irregular manner before he rocked himself and shuddered as if in a great deal of pain.
Sora's Heart/Mindscape
You really think you could be as strong as me? Please, get real...
"Riku? why would you say that I thought we were friends..."
Sora... I'm so sorry... Maybe next time you'll pass okay!
"Kairi... That didn't help... I know you mean well but... Those aren't the words I wanted to hear... Not from you..."
Awww who needs a fancy title Sora, you're still the best to us!
"Donald... Thank you..."
Gawrsh that must've been a real doozy of a test if it rattled you Sora, we'll get him next time take him down together no problem!
"Goofy... You're a good friend, thank you for being their to keep me safe..."
Sora seemed to float in an endless void like a leaf dancing in the ever present wind his smile seemed undermined by the tears that fell down his face as he was forced to relive all of the things he's experienced from beginning to end. The pain... It ate at him like a mold on his soul... He's shrugged off the feelings so long he just can't accept them as his own anymore.
The Pain...
Anti-Sora smirked as he saw an opening in Roxas defense in a blur of motion he quickly exploited it and elbowed him in the side with such swiftness the nobody had little time to react to being flipped over and used as a shield to block Xion's incoming Strike Raid.
Loathing...
"ROXAS!!!" Xion exclaimed in horror as she watched her friend fall helpessly on the floor blind sidded by her powerful attack. Anti grinned wickledly as he saw her turn towards him rage boiling in her deep blue eyes.
Hate...
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU HATE ME DON'T YOU!" Anti dodged her flurry of swipes. Up, Down, Left, Right. His yellow eyes danced with glee simply loving this battle to it's full effect, for the first time in a long time he felt ALIVE. Xion yelped as she was punched straight in the side before being side swiped by Anti's tail and violently stomped into the ground.
Sora felt weak... Weaker then he ever has... Even weaker then when he journeyed throughout the underworld without the blessing of Olympus... The Hero of light was tired of so much heartache and failure, what did it even mean to try anymore.
"S-Sora no... D-Don't stop fighting..." Xion grunted pitifully as Anti looked at himself in glee. "The Faker is finally done with life huh? Took him long enough." The dark being eyed the large white door that appeared and raised an eyebrow, his curiosity slowly turned into a grin a flash of darkness appeared in his hand. A Keyblade with a silver guard and golden shaft the complete opposite of Sora's own preferred weapon.
Kingdom Key D (Or Kingdom Key Darkside), It is the Keyblade of the Realm of Darkness and the dark counterpart of Sora's Keyblade from the Realm of Light.
"A Keyblade huh? Now isn't this just fitting." Anti observed it for a few seconds before smiling wickedly, his eyes dancing with their usual madness as he aimed it towards the door. The following click made Xion flinch as Anti made his way to the door gripping the handle he turned back towards her and smiled.
"Tell the Hero when he wakes up, The True King always sits on his throne." Anti turned away and cackled the the peircing light assulted his form.
